Campus To Join Christian
World-wide Observance

By Mildred Love

The Agnes Scott committee will observe World Wide Com-
munion Day on Sunday, October 5, with the annual com-
munion service sponsored by Christian x^ssociation. Dr. Chang
will be the speaker for the occasion, and Dr. Alston will assist
in the service which will be in Maclean Chapel at five o'clock.
Agnes Scott students from abroad
will serve. In order that all stu-
dents may have the opportunity to
attend the service, the various
church buses will have delayed
times of departure.

New Pledge Boxes

Seek . . . decide . . . and live . . .
"For Christ came that we might
have life, and have it abundantly"
(John 10:10). These words em-
body the 1958-59 theme of the Ag-
nes Scott Christian Association.
Suzanne McMillan, C.A. president,
discussed this theme at the first
Christian Association chapel of the
year. The following Tuesday, Sep-
tember 30, chapel time was devot-
ed to a pledge ceremony. (Pledge
boxes have been placed at various
locations on campus for the stu-
dents who desire to make a pledge
and did not do so in chapel.) Next
week the C.A. chapel program will
feature Dr. Dow Kirkpatrick, pas-
tor of St. Mark's Methodist Church
in Atlanta.

Workshop, African Emphasis

Two main activities of Christian
Association this fall will be a Pro-
ject Workshop and an African Em-
phasis Week. The workshop will
be held on October 14, for all up-
perclassmen, and will be designed

to acquaint the students with the
various C.A. projects or serve as a
refresher course on various sub-
jects.

The week of October 19 has
been designated as African Em-
phasis Week. Included in the ac-
tivities scheduled for this time will
be a choral reading taken from
Cry the Beloved Country, a Wed-
nesday night Hub discussion, and
a guest speaker. The climax of the
week will be a display on Africa
and its people.

Christian Association represen-
tatives are making their debut at
Scott this year. Each wing or
cottage will elect a representative
to serve for the entire year. Her
duties will include those formerly
assigned to hall prayers chairmen.
In addition to these responsibili-
ties, she will serve as a link be-
tween the individual C.A. members
and the cabinet. To the cabinet,
she will be a sounding board for
project and program evaluation.
To the student, she will be a known
direct approach to cabinet. Gener-
ally speaking, however, this post
has been created to establish a
stronger tie between Christian As-
sociation members and the cabinet.

Signs Of Black Cat
Up ASC Tempo

By Sally Sanford

Mysterious signs promise, "It's coming." Upperclassmen
rush by with abstracted expressions humming softly to them-
selves. The gym begins to take on new life at night as the
sounds of laughter and song float up to the library. Such
activity means the approach of the first big campus event of
the Fall Black Cat Day.

This year Black Cat Day is Fri-
day, October 10. A tradition dating
back forty-three years, to 1915,
the day is filled with class com-
petition in sweepstakes, song writ-
ing and skits.

History

In 1915, Dr. Mary Sweet, the
college physician, suggested a
Freshman-Sophomore "battle of
wits" as a substitute for the rough
hazing that Freshmen were then
subjected to from the upperclass-
men. In the fall of that year a
program of skits and songs was
presented much as it will be Fri-
day night. For thirty-five years
Black Cat continued as an exclu-
sive Frosh-Soph competition.

In 1950, as a result of growing
tensions and bitter rivalry between
the two classes and their sister
classes, Black Cat was reorganiz-
ed as a campus production using
the talents of all four classes. Its
primary purpose became an of-
ficial celebration to honor the
Freshman class.

Famed Actor Opens
Season of Lectures

Thursday, October 23, Lecture
Association opens its 1958-59 lec-
ture series by presenting Sir John
Gielgud, famed British actor and
theatrical producer. The visiting
lecturer will give selected read-
ings from Shakespeare, collective-
ly entitled "Shakespeare's Ages of
man."

Considered by many critics one
of the three top actors in the
world today, Gielgud last appear-
ed in the United States in 1950 in
Christopher Fry's "The Lady's
Not For Burning." The program
of readings represents the first
time that he will be seen by an
American audience in solo per-
formance.

An anticipated capacity audi-
ence will necessitate the co-opera-
lion of students in the procure-
ment of tickets, concerning which
announcements will be made in
the near future.

The prized black plaster cat,
formerly presented to the winner
of Black Cat Day, became a sym-
bol of the campus' welcome to the
new class. Each year the Sopho-
more class president presents the
cat to the Freshman Black Cat
Chairman as a climax to the eve-
ning's entertainment.

For Black Cat Day each class
offers a song whose words (and
often music as well) are original.
The songs are sung before the
skits in the gym and are judged
by a faculty committee. There is
intense rivalry among the classes
in the song competition which may
be heightened this year, as the
Seniors have been the winners for
the last two years.

Over-all Black Cat chairman is
Sally Smith, working in conjunc-
tion with Wardie Abernathy, presi-
dent of Mortar Board. Class skit
chairmen are K. Jo Freeman, Sen-
ior; Mary Wilson, Junior; and
Nancy Batson, Sophomore, and
Freshman.

There will be an over-ail theme
this year which will be carried out
in the afternoon sweepstakes as
well as in the evening skits. After
the skits a sock hop will be held
with Neal Montgomery's band pro-
viding the music.

ASC Makes 'Hey'
While Sun Shines

Refresh your memory, gang!
Hey Day is here! Twenty "Speak
Sneaks," four from each class and
four from the faculty, began
roaming the campus; at 7:00 a.m.,
and will be around until 6:00 p.m.
They are awarding Name Dame
tags and additional stars to every
tenth person who speaks to them.
The person with the most stars
will be named Miss Hey Day of
1958-59 at the student govern-
ment meeting on Thursday.

The spirit committee is in
charge of Hey Day and Emily
Bivers is over-all chairman of the
event.

We Aim To Please

Customarily, in this first issue of the l 'News" each year,
a positive statement is made concerning the policy of our
college paper. We, the 1958-59 staff, in accordance with this
tradition, offer here the aims which we hope to see fulfilled
in the coming twenty-odd issues for which
we will be responsible.

We feel that the "News" should be primari-
ly a means of self-expression for the students
on this campus. We urge the use of our "let-
ters to the editor 1 ' department for airing
gripes, praising the worthy, suggesting im-
provements. Editorials, too, are welcome.

Especially do we want students to feel free
in their criticism (constructive, too, please!)
of our publication. We were struck by the concern expressed
at the retreat for a more definite emphasis on world affairs,
a broader scope in our reporting. In answer to this, we
are including in each paper a brief summary of the more
important happenings of the week in addition to the regular
international column. We hope this will create some aware-
ness of the "outside world" on this too often apathetic campus.

Finally, we want to give a complete and accurate coverage
of all news. We ask the co-operation of students and faculty
alike in our attempt to provide this service. It is only through
campus use of the "News" as one important medium of ex-
pression that we, the staff, cn hope to fulfill our aims. C. D.

IRC To The Rescue

"You know," a freshman was heard to remark, "I haven't
even seen a newspaper since I've been here." While it was
not absolutely clear whether she was bragging or complain-
ing, it is certain that this is no mark of distinction on the
Agnes Scott campus. For any of us, full weeks may pass with-
out so much as even a glance at the comic page.

Involved in studies and the affairs on campus, students may
become completely unaware of what is happening in the
state or nation, to say nothing of the world beyond. In spite
of the fine assortment of newspapers and magazines available
in the library, the the job of keeping abreast of current affairs
remains a constant battle yet not one which we must wage
by ourselves.

To aid us in the struggle to be well-informed, IRC is in-
itiating a series of discussions to be led by students of history
and political science. The first of these instructive programs
will be a consideration of "The Quemoy Question" in Friday's
chaple. IRC is to be commended for initiating this services,
but the real responsibility lies with the students whose duty
it is to take advantage of this new opportunity. M. M.

Two Respresent Campus;
Collegiates Unite For UN

By Sara Anne Carey

More than seventy students, representing campuses all over
the nation, gathered this June in New York City to share
a common interest in the United Nations Organization. Lynn
Frederick and I were there, representing Agnes Scott. This
Intercollegiate Institute on the United Nations is sponsored
annually by the Collegiate Council

for the United Nations. We heard
well-known speakers discuss ques-
tions of international importance
and spent many hours discussing
among ourselves the problems
which face the United Nations to-
day.

International

The Collegiate Council for the
United Nations, or CCUN, is a stu-
dent organization whose leaders
are students and whose "raison
d'etre" is "to arouse college stu-
dents to an understanding of their
stake in the UN and to stimulate
them to do something to help it
succeed." The heart of CCUN is
the individual international rela-
tions group on the campus, which
reaches the college student through
programs and projects concerning
the United Nations and its part in
world events. Every year, dele-
gates from these CCUN groups
meet at the Institute, as we did,
to elect national officers and to
formulate recommendations on UN
questions through discussions
among themselves. The national
board of directors, which coordin-
ator the activities of the CCUN

member groups, consists of a na-
tional chairman, two vice-presi-
dents, and several regional direc-
tors. The delegates from the
southern states asked me to be
the regional director for the Deep
South.

Through CCUN, college students
learn of the functions and prob-
lems of the United Nations and
have an opportunity to voice an
opinion. Through the organized ef-
fort represented by the Collegiate
Council for the United Nations,
student opinions on matters of
United States policy in the UN
reach the ears of statesmen in
Washington. Thus college students
can do their part to support and
strengthen the United Nations Or-
ganization by supporting the par-
ticipation of the United States in
it.

Mrs. F. D. R.

Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt and
Dr. Clark M. Eichelberger were
among those who spoke to us at
the Institute. The informal talks
were followed by several hours of
discussion on the issues presented.
We spent an entire day at the

Enthusiasm of Campus Leaders
Foretells Gapd Year for ASC

By Lila McGeachey

The annual pre-school retreat held by Student Govern-
ment, Christian Association, Athletic Association and Social
Council September 8-10, at Camp Daniel Morgan resulted in a
great deal of enthusiasm and concrete plans for the year
ahead. The word "retreat" may be misleading, but the seventy-
five students present spent most ,

student body deserves to know
what the boards do, that they exist
for and by the consent and sup-
port of the student body. They es-
tablished as a principle goal com-
munication and explanation to the
student body of themselves and
their actions and recognized that
first and foremost we are all mem-
bers of the Agnes Scott student
body.

Ree valuation

Re-evaluation was the spontan-
eous theme of the retreaters; it
was very interesting and a bit
amazing to see this basic idea
come out time and again in all

of their hours in hard work with
few out for playing, sleeping and
the ever-present necessity of eat-
ing. The tone of the retreat was
one of real interest and commit-
ment to the college and to the pur-
pose behind the four boards.

Each board met separately in a
creative and searching capacity.
They evaluated their purposes and
set up their goals as a board for
this year. They discussed their own
elationship to us, the student body,
and the student body's response to
their work, and to them as a
group and as individuals. Each
board expressed the belief that the

Mitzi Gaynor Shampoos Man
Out Of Hair In Roxy Shower

By Ann Parker

Film adaptations of two renowned Broadway plays provide
exceptional entertainment this week. Rogers' and Hammer-
stein's "South Pacific" at the Roxy Theatre stars Mitzi Gay-
nor and Rossano Brazzi in the roles made famous by Mary
Martin and Ezio Pinza in the original cast. The movie follows
closely the action of the play with

the advantages in scenery and
stage effects possible only on film.
Using a type of super-stereophonic
sound plus the Todd-AO wide
screen it should prove excellent
viewing. All seats are reserved.

At the Fox Theatre "Damn
Yankees" surpasses the play in
unusual color effects and staging.
Robert Shafer plays a Washington
Senator fan who would sell his
soul to help his team win the pen-
nant. Ray Walston, a modern
Mephistopheles, transforms him
into muscular Tab Hunter. His
batting average of .524 cinches the
pennant but not before numerous

Try outs for BOZ will begin

tinue until October 22. All upper-
classmen interested in creative

United Nations itself, touring the
buildings, attending seminars led
by men who work with the spe-
cialized agencies of the United
Nations, and looking in on a ses-
sion of the Trusteeship Council.
A highlight of the week-long con-
ference was the opportunity to
visit the United Nations delegation
of one of four nations who extend-
ed invitations to the group the
USSR, India. Yugoslavia, and Is-
rael and to direct questions to
members of that delegation. I

Lynn saw the delegation from

problems arise. One of them is
Gwen Verdon as the literally
tempting siren, Lola, who turns
out several comedy dance num-
bers, such as "Whatever Lola
Wants," and "Two Lost Souls." All
combine to make a sparkling com-
edy.

"Kings Go Forth," at the Rialto,
stars Frank Sinatra, Tony Curtis,
and Natalie Wood in a moving dra-
ma of American soldiers on the
Riviera in the lull between battles.
Adapted from the novel by Joe
David Brown, it is a love story of
conflict and human values.

As the first of a series of plays
the Tower Theatre presents "Aun-
tie Mame." Popular on Broadway
and as a best-selling book, it is the
lilarious and somewhat sophisticat-
ed story of a glamorous, rather
eccentric aunt as told by her usu-
ally bewildered nephew. Sylvia
Sidney plays the irrepressible
Auntie Mame whose friends and
escapades are highly unconven-
tional. Tickets are available for
the entire series and for individual
plays.

Skating

Skating enthusiasts will welcome
the opening of the Belvedere Ice
Skating Rink for the winter sea-
son. Open all week, it should pro-
vide an evening of fun for both
novices and experts.

Gretchen Wyler, blonde dancer-
singer-comedienne, featured on this
summer's Bob Crosby Show, is cur-
rently appearing at the Paradise
Room of the Henry Grady Hotel.

Season tickets for the Atlanta
Symphony and the All-Star Con-
cert series will soon be available
on campus. The All-Star Series
presents an exceptionally fine
group of artists including Maria
Callas, the Ballet Russe de Monte
Carlo, Artur Rubinstein, and sev-
eral others.

four groups. Many intense discus-
sions revolved around complacen-
cy and apathy, indifference and
ignorance about things of vital
importance to us as students, and
the conclusion from such groups
was that if we do not want to be
this way, we must do something
to challenge ourselves to get be-
yond our pettiness and unconcern.
This is significant to me of a heal-
thy and promising spirit within our
student body, an awareness that
we are not perfect but that we
have a great deal to be thankful
for and to work with. It is a
wholesome consciousness of much
used and unused potentiality and
a need to give our best in order
to receive the best. We must un-
derstand our Honor System for
ourselves and then live up to di-
mensions of its demands upon us,
put ourselves wholeheartadly into
our academic career; we must
take advantage of chapels, lectures
and all other types of confronta-
tion of ideas beyond our scope.
We must participate in activities
which hold our interest and feel
a personal responsibility to help
make or keep them worthwhile.
Buzz Groups
Indicative also of this interest
and concern in ourselves as stu-
dents and as students at Agnes
Scott were suggestions, criticisms
and evaluations produced by buzz
groups which met one evening.
These groups were individually
cross sections of those present,
and the topics were all to some
degree important to us at Agnes
Scott: the dining hall, Religious
Emphasis Week, the Hub, school
spirit, orientation, executive com-
mittee's policies. Some very valid
proposals came from these groups.

Publications

The "Silhouette" staff was a
part of the retreat group for the
first time this year. Mortar Board
president, Wardie Abernethy, and
"Agnes Scott News" editor, Caro-
line Dudley, were guests of the
boards. The entire group had a lot
of fortitude and interest in its
work; they should be commended
for their thorough and positive
thinking. Thinking is work! At
the joint leadership meeting held
on the evening of September 10
back at school the four presidents
of the boards shared with the en-
tire retreat group the results of
their specific meetings. As the sug-
gestions and plans were present-
ed, we were all grateful for the
year ahead and for its potentiality
and promise. We knew that only
with a great deal of support could
any of these aspirations be reach-
ed. It has been good to see the
initial interest and enthusiasm
which we seem to be sharing in
every class and in every dorm.
Years go by very quickly.

Athlete, Twins, Bachelor,
Fill Silent Service Ranks

By Corky Feagin

They come early and stay late. Some get up at 5:00 or earlier in order to get to work by
6:15 or 7:30. Some have been here since the twenties. All in all about a hundred colored
people form an efficient force scattered in the dorms, the dining room, the steam plant,
the library, the gym, Buttrick, Presser, and Campbell, making life here cleaner, cooking
meals, moving tables for teas, delivering the laundry, and bringing the mail.

Big, gray-headed Henry Sim-
mons is known for his big smile
and cheery "good mornin'!" as
he sweeps the colonnade and the
porches of Main and Rebekah ev-
ery day. Henry, here since 1928,
is in charge of picking up and
delivering the laundry. He remem-
bers the days of Miss Hopkins
(Dean of Students) and Mrs. Mil-
ler (supervisor of domitories) and
watched the construction of But-
trick, Presser, the library, Camp-
bell, Hopkins, the dining room,
and Walters. Henry has one child,
a fourteen-year-old daughter who
is at Carver High.

Oldest Maid

Dorothy Bailey, Miss Wilburn's
right hand ("we couldn't live with-
out her!"), has been here since
1936, making her the "oldest"
maid. She has never missed a day,
except when she had to go out of
town for her husband's funeral
several years ago. Dorothy is ex-
tra proud' of her son, Jack, who
graduated with honors from
Clark University in Atlanta, then
went to Tuskegee on a scholarship.
He is now business manager of
Tuskegee.

Over on first Inman is Alice
Edwards whose brother used to
work in the old science hall (site
of Walters). He has since graduat-
ed from Ohio University, and is
now teaching at Carver High in
Atlanta. Alice had a sister work-
ing on the hostess desk who got
her a job here back in 1941. Last

15 years.

This makes the eleventh year
for Sally Early, who has worked
in the science hall since the days
of "Miss Mac" MacDougall, in Miss
Bridgman's early days of teach-
ing.

Twins

Twins Eulah Sperley (Kennedy

(in charge of the package room).

Other "old-timers": Nonnie Ford,
who has been in the library since
1936; Ella Claude Anderson, who
has been in the laundry since 1925;
and Estelle Rakestraw, another
laundress since 1921, Wesley
Stark, here since 1923, drives the
laundry truck and takes care of
the mail delivery.

In the kitchen, baker John Hill
came about 1930, left, then return-

Dean Announces Scholarships;
States Requirements, Deadlines

By Caroline Mikell

According to recently released bulletins, applications for
Fulbright Scholarships and Marshall Scholarships must be in
by November 1 and October 31 respectively. For this reason
the Dean of Faculty strongly recommends that interested
students file their applications as soon as possible. These
scholarships are awarded for study
abroad beginning in 1959.

Basic requirements for Fulbright
Scholarships are United States cit-
izenship, a bachelor's degree or its
equivalent before the beginning
date of the grant, sufficient knowl-
edge of the language of the host
country, and good health. As a
general rule preference is given to
applicants who have not previously
lived or studied abroad.

Fulbright awards for foreign
study cover transportation, the ex-
penses of the language refresher
or orientation course, tuition,
books, and maintenance for one
academic year. The awards are
made in the currencies of the host
countries and are not convertible.
Applicants may not apply for more
than one country.

Especially important in the ap-
plication is a plan of proposed stu-
dy in the major field. In order to
formulate such a plan, the appli-
cant should examine the Summar-
ies of Study Opportunities in the

office of the Dean of the Faculty.
Applicants should also have sound
reasons for desiring a scholarship.

Application forms must be re-
quested by October 15 from the
Institute of International Educa-
tion, 1 East 67th St., New York
21, New York, and completed forms
are to be returned no later than
November 1. Applicants will be
notified of the action taken by the
committee before February 28,
1959.

Marshall Scholarships are given
by the British government annual-
ly to United States college gradu-
ates for two years study at a Brit-
ish university. Selectors will look
for "distinction of intellect and
character as evidenced both by
(applicants') scholastic attainments
and by their other activities and
achievements." Those interested
should write the regional office
for more information: The British
Consulate-General, 403 Interna-
tional Trade Mart, New Orleans,
Louisiana.

Internationally Speaking

Near, Far East Crises Intensify;
U.S. Continues Pacific Build-Up

By Susie White

Recent months have witnessed the hurtling of foreign
diplomacy from one crisis to another. The tiny country of
Lebanon, spotlighted in the spring "News" as a pre- Western
govenment in the throes of rebellion incited by possible Nas-
serites, blew up into an international incident.

The U.S. rushed in Marines on
a stand-by basis at the request of
[President Cham-
loun to prevent a
[possible repeti-
tion of the over-
throw of govern-
jment which took
| place in Iraq. As
[a let-up in mili-
tary watchfulness
became feasible
in Lebanon with Chehab's election
ever Chamoun as President, hot
war broke out in the midst of the
cold war in the Far East. So close-
ly timed were the two events that
the Soviet Union and Red China
were accused of backstage wire-
pulling.

Fighting Erupts

Fighting broke out between the
Chinese Reds and the Nationalist
Chinese as the Commuunists re-
newed their demands that the
Nationalist Chinese withdraw from
the offshore islands of Quemoy and
Matsu. Acting on an agreement by
the "President and Congress in Jan-
uary, 1955, to support Free China,
all military indications were that
the United States was willing to
fight if necessary to help the Chi-
nese Nationalists hold those is-
lands.

A massive military build-up by
Red China and by the United
States followed. Chinese Red gun-

National President
Will Meet Alumnae

Meeting this Friday, October 3,
the Executive Board of the Agnes
Scott National Alumnae Associa-
tion will hold its first quarterly
session. The meeting will convene
at 10:30 a.m.. in the Anna Young
Alumnae House with Mrs. H.

presiding.

After the meeting the members
of the executive board and the
faculty committee on alumnae re-

During the luncheon Dr. Alston

Jones Gets Badge
After Long Service

After twenty-three years of ser-
vice at Agnes Scott, "campus cop"
Mr. R. Mell Jones has received the
gold bars of a police captain, at-
tached to the Decatur squad.

The only night watchman fo.
sixteen years, Mr. Jones used to
work 86 hours a week, guarding
the three hundred girls. Since he
arrived on campus in 1935 six or
seven big buildings have been
built, and the boarding population
has almost doubled. Now he has
three assistants, Mr. John Fowl-
er. Mr. Gene Sharpton, and Mr.
Perry Whitley.

Former Assistant

For nine years Mr. Jones had
as a special assistant "Nussin," a
150 pound Briard (a French
breed, rare in the US). Nussin,
alias Casman Domat Bonus,
came on after midnight, making
hourly rounds. Three years ago
this campus favorite died.

Mr. jones has three children: a
daughter who is a junior at Mis-
sissippi Southern, a married daugh-
ter in Maryland, and a married
son in Memphis.

Police Background

It seems inevitable that Mr.
Jones should have become a
policeman. His father is a retired
policeman and his son is on the
police force in Memphis. Before
coming to A. S. C, Mr. Jones was
the assistant manager of the W. L.
Douglas Shoe Company in At-
lanta.

Our head policeman has lived in
three houses on campus, the last
one disappearing along with Dr.
Chang's in order to beautify the
lawn in front of Campbell Science
Hall. He is presently enjoying life
at 1312 South McDonough.

Foundation of College Begins
State-wide Fund Raising Drive

In conjunction with the Georgia Foundation of Independent
Colleges, Agnes Scott is one of nine institutions of higher
education which have now begun a state-wide money-raising
appeal. Dr. Wallace Alston left campus Monday, September
29, to participate in this solicitation in our area. He will
acquaint people with the nature of

the Foundation as well as collect
contributions.

The Georgia Foundation of In-
dependent Colleges is a two-year-
old voluntary association composed
of independent four-year accredited
colleges in Georgia. The participa-
ting schools are Agnes Scott Col-
lege, Brenau College, Emory Uni-
versity, LaGrange College, Mercer
College, Oglethorpe University,
Shorter College, Tift College, and
Wesleyan College.

The purpose of the organization
is to enable corporations and in-
dividuals interested in private col-
leges to make an equal contribu-
tion to each of the member insti-
tutions. An undirected contribu-
tion will be shared by all nine in-
stitutions, the formula for distri-

Students Merge Interests,
Plan Literature Sessions

Since everyone cannot take
every literature course offered,
the entire campus has an oppor-
tunity to attend several informal
reading sessions of varied works.
The first of these sessions will be
held at five o'clock today in the
speech studio. The purpose of the
readings is to combine the in-
terests of speech and English
students. The theme of today's
program is sharing and enjoying
the literature studied on campus
this quarter.

Represented on the program are
classes in Chaucer, American litera-
ture, and modern poetry. A com-
mentary on Chaucer given by Nan-
cy Stone will be followed by selec-
tions in Old English read by Anne
Broad. These poems will then be
presented in their translated ver-
sions by Betty Bellune and Suz-
anne Crosby.

American Selections

Helen Mabry begins the Am-
erican literature section with her
comments on Poe. This stage in
literature will be illustrated with
passage from "The Masque of
the Red Death" read by Brock
Hanna.

Poetry by Emily Dickinson and
Walt Whitman is featured next.
Commentaries on the author are

ners blew up supply ships enroute
to Quemoy; Soviet-made guns
shelled the island. The millions of
people of the Chinese mainland
were mobilized and American Ma-
rines went ashore at Formosa.

Diplomatic Efforts

Yet as the U.S. continued to
build a "Gibraltar of the Pacific"
on Formosa, diplomatic feelers
went out for possible peaceful set-
tlement of overt issues. On Sep-
tember 10, Communist Ambassador
to Poland, Wang Ping-nan, left Pei-
ping to return to Warsaw for talks
with U. S. Ambasador to Poland,
Jacob D. Beam. Beam countered
the Red demands for immediate
withdrawal of Chinese Nationalist
troops from the Quemoy and Mat-
su islands and an end to U.S. mili-
tary support of Nationalist Gener-
alissimo Chiang Kai-Shek with a
demand for an immediate cease-
fire.

Peace Conference

As the Warsaw talks continued
and Western allies called for a
cease-fire, the United States was
caught between a strengthening
compulsion to recognize the Com-
munist Chinese government as the
"de facto" government of China
and the weakening political neces-
sity for the U.S. to help the Chinese
Nationalists retain the offshore
islands. The Nationalist Chinese
will have to accept the decisions
reached by the U.S. and Commun-
ist China, and possibility points
more heavily to a recognition deal
than to war.

Rush Parties Initiate Season;
New Pins Gleam On Campus

The doors of Main swung back and forth; the string of males in
front of the hostess's desk grew long; boys who were gathered on the
back steps resumed their guessing game of which girls would be their
blind dates for the evening.

Despite the load ot papers, book reports, and problems given during
the week, Scott girls managed to get lots of partying in this past
week-end.

The Georgia Tech-Florida State University game drew an immense
number of girls away from the campus Friday night. Cynthia Butts,
Eleanor Kill, Caroline Mikell, Susannah Masten. Carolyn Davis, Mary
Mac Witherspoon, and Marcia Tobey were cheering tor the Yellow
Jackets. Mary Clayton Bryan, Trudy Florrid, Lynn Frederick, Ann
Peagler, and Wynne Hughes joined the Tech fans.

Also among Tech's supporters were Pat Anderson, Sid Howell, Ruth
Leroy, Betsy Hammond, Pauline Winslow, Martha Jane Mitchell, and
Jorie Muller.

Florida State's defeat enabled the Tech fiats to celebrate with
victory parties. ATO's entertained Ann Rogers, Jean Corbett, Jane
Bennett, Carol Conner, Jane Patterson, Jo Allison Smith, Marsha
Lear, and Boo Florence.

The Tln'tn C hi house welcomed Willie Byrd Childress, Mary Jane
Moore, Sally LoBrun, and Madelyn Eve. While Judy Webb, Pat
Holmes, Brock Hanna, Peggy McGeaehy, and Jan Heard were partying
with the Beta's, Mary Wayne Crymes, Betsy Roberts, Beverly Kenton,
Gail Cartis, Nancy Bond, Liz Withers, and Peg Stuart celebrated with
the Sigma Chi's.

Another victory party was enjoyed at the SAE house by Jackie
Davis, Linda Jones, Jane Kraemer, and Carol Rogers. Bessie Murphy
and Margaret Roberts dropped by the Delta Upsilon house after the
game.

Wendy iSoatwright, Joanna Russell, Sue Lane, Jan Paullin, Susan
Parris, and Susan Alexander put on bermudas for a rush party at
the Phi Delt house. Also with the Phi Delts were Anita Moses, Nor-
ris Johnston, Nell Archer, Cissie Harris, and Kathryn Hawkins.

The TKE's played host to Ann Christensen, Carol Cowan, Milling
Kinard, and Alice Cochrane.

A Heaven and Hell party was thrown by the Kappa Sigs who in-
vited Nancy Stillman, Jo Hester, Carol Williams, Joyce Spivey, Ruth
Seagle, Peggy Venable, Lucy Schow, and Jan Whitfield.

Peggy Wells, Dolly Bates, and Eve Purdom helped with rush at the
ZIP Dental Fraternity at Emory.

The SAE's at Emory rivalled Tech frat parties with a fling out at
SiKipfinger which Margaret Goodrich, C arolyn West, and Mary Cul-
pepper enjoyed. Choon Hi Choi also had a gay time at Emory this
week-end.

Scott girls helped many Tech frats with rush Saturday night. West-
ern outfits were worn by Judy Hollaway, Hunter Duncan, Amanda
Hunt, Jackie Hagler, Mary Crook, Penny Johnston, Martha Lambert,
and Betty Evans to the KA Wild West party.

Emily Parker, Frances Johns, Dot Porcher, Kaki White, Helen
Linton, Cocky Buchanan, and Martha Campbell danced at the Chi
Psi house Saturday night.

Guests at the Sigma Nu's Jungle Jaunt included Jackie Nicholson,
Mary Culclasure, Bunny Henry, Kay Gillard, and Libby Harshbarger.
The same frat invited Lana Mueller, Ann Thomas, Dawneda Fowler,
Bess Ford, Geni Grafft, and Joyce Townsend to their Snake Dance
Friday night.

The Kappa Sigs had a gay time at Fritz Orr's Saturday afternoon
and evening. Mary Elizabeth Webster, Ann McBride, Linda Grant,
Jan Whitfields, and Carolyn Benlow represented Scott.

Lebby Rogers, Lee Allen, Ann Hershberger, Catherine Davis, and
Betty Lewis went to the' SAE house to an informal dance. Emily
Bivens, Thelma Jenkins, and Becky Evans partied with the Delta
Tau Delta's.

Gloria Branham, Gladys Ferguson, Janie Matthews, Mary Jane
Pickens, Camille Strickland, and Peggy Edney enjoyed Atlanta movies
this week-end.

The percentage of pinned girls at Agnes Scott has risen since
last Spring. Sally Smith received John Howard's ATO pin this sum-
mer, and Joe Clark, an SAE at Tech, recently pinned Mildred Mc-
Cravey. Jane King is pinned to SAE Bona Allen and Martha Starrett
to TKE Jim Stubbs.

Lucy Scales is wearing Ernest Carpenter's Plu Gamma Delta pin
and Sibley Robertson is pinned to Pike Ramon Veal. Bill Lewis, a
Phi Delt at Emory, has pinned Ashlin Morris, and Bill Humphreys
gave Dee Doan his Sigma Chi pin. Julia McNairy is pinned to a
Princeton man, John Thornton.

Mary Ann McSwain traded in her KA pin for a diamond. Her
fiancee, Ray Antly, is in mod school at Emory University. Boogie
Helm is engaged to Bob Autrey, an SAE at Georgia Tech. Lou
Healey and Dr. Guillerine (Bill) Restrepo plan to marry in De-
cember. Bill is an assistant professor of pathology at the National
University need school in Bogata, Columbia, South America. Carolyn
Hazard has the distinction of being pinned without a pin to Bob Jones,

science and how the guilt of the
conscience influences attitude to-
ward religion, morality, and au-
thority. In explaining the differ-
ence between a negative conscience
and a positive one, he gave the
criteria for the education of the
conscience. "To educate a posi-
tive conscience," he said, "means
reconciliation with external au-
thority, growth in personal re-
sponsibility, and an expanded so-
cial loyalty."

Retreat Inspires AA Board;
Cabin, Bicycles Enter Plans

BY NANCY DtJVAIX

The big event from Athletic Association seems to oe the inspiration
and ideas gained on the retreat at Camp Danial Morgan. In spite of the
fact that everyone had wonderful time probably because of it
a lot of concrete work was accomplished. Needless to say much of
the invisible spirit was infused at the same time.

Cabin Plans

The cabin, being new, naturally still has kinks to be worked out,
with many opportunities for new projects. With
this in mind. A. A. set up two committees, one to
work on new projects and one to be in charge of
maintenance and providing staples for the cabin.
Currently the project committee, headed by Trish
Walker with members from the other boards, is
investigating the possibilities of a refrigerator. By
the way, Miss Boney gave the cabin a hot plate.

The staples committee is now in the process of
trying to get a budget to keep such things as salt,
pepper, sugar, and napkins in the cabin. Mr. Rogers mentioned that
there was some old china that had been used in the dining hall and
which the cabin might have. One last word about the cabin I
understand that there is still a lot of poison ivy around, so do be
careful.

Blazer Sale

Most of you have probably heard of the blazer sale going on today,
but I want to remind you of the choice of white blazers which has
been added. Also this year for the first time, the company is sending
its own representative to do the fitting, so there should be no problem
of the blazers not fitting.

It seems that the AA Tour of Atlanta was a big success. The
choice of Dr. Posey as lecturer added much gaiety and interest to the
tour. New Bicycles

This year AA got two new bicycles with Blue Horse coupons. They
are trying to clean out the location of the bicycle stand in the base-
ment of Campbell and have some new stands built.

Another big project of AA this year is work with the clubs such as
Tennis Club and Badminton Club. The idea is that the individual
sports (also including archery) are popular, but they don't have the
means that the group sports have. One thing AA is hoping it can do
is to give these groups on allotment to finance their work.

As can be seen, the year seem to have started with a bang, but
personally I'll be glad when things settle down and hockey season
begins.

Big Day Approaches Fast,
Features Songs, Sock Hop

By Mildred Love

Excitement is at a peak on the Agnes Scott campus, for Black Cat is only two days away!
Co-ordinators Sally Smith and Wardie Abernathy, the various over-all committees, and
the class committees are busy putting the finishing touches on the many Black Cat festivities
which will begin to be unveiled late Fridayafternoon.

Picnic

At this time, the sweepstakes,
engineered by Leoniece Davis and
Cynthia Butts, will start. Follow-
ing the sweepstakes, the campus
community is invited to the an-
nual Black Cat picnic planned
this year by Lower House chair-
man Mary Hart Richardson and
her committee.

Evening: Program

An evening of entertainment
will begin at seven-thirty with the
presentation of class songs and
skits. Song practices for individual
classes have taken an important
place in the agenda of the last
week. The song chairmen are
Sylvia Ray, Seniors; Gladys Fer-
guson, Juniors; and Margaret Lip-
ham, Sophomores. Freshman com-
posers include Helen Linton, Ann
Thompson, Judy Heinz, and Ann
Wood. Three judges, whose names
will remain a secret until the big
night, have already been chosen to
judge the class songs.

The script for the over-all skit
was written by Nancy Hall, Esther
Thomas, Mary Moore, Bonnie
Gershen, and Dottie Burns. This
skit and those of the classes will
have the same theme which is
another Black Cat secret. The
freshman class is rehearsing a tal-
ent show which is rated as being
"especially good."

Sock Hop

The crowning event of the day
will be a sock hop in Rebekah
Scott Hall after the skits. Neal
Montgomery's band will furnish
the music for the dance which
has been planned by co-chairmen
Judy Albergotti and Betty Lewis
and their committee.

Over-all committee chairmen in-
clude: Gretchen Elliott, programs;
Pauline Winslow, publicity; Dolly
Bates, costumes; Betsy Patterson,
lights; Mary Grace Palmour, back-
drop; Wilma Muse, clean-up; Jill
Imray and Anita Sheldon, proper-
ties; Beth Magoffin and Suellen
Beverly, make-up; and Liz Acree,
chorus. Rose Marie Regero is the
pianist with Becky Wilson handl-
ing chorography.

The Freshman Black Cat chair-
man is Ray Taggart. Carey Bowen
and Ann Hutchinson will lead the
class of '62 in cheers; Ethel Gil-
more is the class spirit chairman.

Remember? Exhuberant Class of '59 celebrates second win in annual
Black Cat Song contest. Will they claim first place again this year?

Kimmels Create Memorial
Trophy For Drama Group

By Frances Johns

In addition to the Claude S. Bennett Trophy for Acting
another trophy will be awarded to a member of Blackfriars,
Agnes Scott dramatic group, for the first time this year.
"The recipient may be the same person who receives the
Claude S. Bennett Trophy for Acting, she may be a bit player
and prop chairman, or she may be

a faithful member of the costume
committee, who is never seen be-
hind the footlights."

These are the words of Nancy
Kimmel, 1958 graduate of Agnes
Scott, who with her mother is es-
tablishing an annual award for the
Blackfriars as a memorial to her
father, the late Harley R. Kimmel.
In establishing the Harley R. Kim-
mel Trophy, Nancy and Mrs. Kim-
mel wish to recognize the member
of Blackfriars, acting or non-act-
ing, who each year has been the
most valuable to Blackfriars' pro-
ductions.

Nominations for the Harley B.
Kimmel Trophy, which will be
presented at the end of each year,
will be made by the members of
Blackfriars. The recipient will
then be chosen by the directors of
Blackfriars and the president, vice-
president, secretary, treasurer, and
stage manager.

Of the memorial to her father
Nancy also says, "Our trophy is
for the club itself. We hope it will

create constructive self-evaluation
and contribute to a healthy atti-
tude of respect for those who give
so much to establish good theater
at Agnes Scott. Although my fath-
er was not an actor and was not
involved in the theater, he was a
tremendously vital man. His life
was very much like a superb per-
formance of a great play .... My
father, I am sure, would be indeed
proud to have such a memorial
within the Blackfriars of Agnes
Scott."

Nancy, a native of Atlanta, this
year is doing graduate work at the
University of Iowa. While at Ag-
nes Scott she was a member of
Blackfriars, Aurora, and B. O. Z.
An English major, she received
recognition in national publica-
tions for creative writing. Her sen-
ior year here Nancy was editor of
Aurora, vice-president of Blackfri-
ars, a member of Mortar Board,
and a representative from Agnes
Scott in "Who's Who in American
Colleges and Universities."

CA Cabinet members Dolly Bates, Kay Waltney, and Lil Hart plan

Sophomores Visit
Dean Kline's Home

Dean and Mrs. C. Benton Kline
entertained the sophomore class
Sunday evening, October 6, at an
open house at their home. It was
the first of three gatherings which
have been planned for this class.
The dates of the other two are Oct-
ober 12 and 18.

Sophomores visited the Kline's
between the hours of 8:30 and
10:30 p.m. With the informality of
the occasion, many enjoyed listen-
ing to records, watching televi-
sion, singing, and talking with
other students.

Back To Ignorance

One of the most distressing and damaging aspects of the
present integration crisis is the recent closing of the public
schools in certain states.

With a haphazard schedule of classes, temporary and make-
shift classrooms, we wonder if the needs of
the students really are being met.
We Americans are made aware constantly
j of our poor school systems. We hear speeches,
read articles about the ill-prepared college
freshman. We are urged to re-evaluate our
educational set-up in view of Russia's re-
portedly superior training of her youth. And
now we in the South are closing our schools
in spite of the evident need to improve them!
We are not taking a stand on this issue of integration;
neither are we able to offer a final solution to the problem.
We are urging only consideration for the most important
people involved; the children.

While the adults and politicians argue and haggle over
integration, we are losing our perspective; we are forgetting
the student, and perhaps damaging beyond repair those who,
in a few years, will have our country and its future in their
hands. C. D.

Time For A Change?

In accord with persons of a certain political sentiment, many
people here on campus have been saying, "It's time for a
change." Their object of attack, however, is not the present
administration in Washington, D. C, but the name of this
publication.

Last spring, a poll of students revealed a strong feeling in
the compus community that there has to be a better name for
the campus newspaper than "The Agnes Scott News." Several
years ago this newspaper was called "The
Agonistic," but the similarity of this title to
the word, "agnostic," so bothered some people
that the name was changed to "The Agnes
Scott News". So far no one has come up with
a more suitable one. If there is to be a change,
there must be something better to which we
can change. This is where the student body
can take a hand to improve their newspaper
if they feel a new name is essential.

Because of the opinion expressed in last spring's poll, the
staff of the "News" welcomes and encourages expressions of
opinion concerning a change in name and especially asks for
suggestions for a new name from the student body. This is a
fine opportunity for some ingenious member of the body
pclitic to make a place for herself in history by suggesting a
name for the newspaper that will be considered most accept-
al: le. There are also arguments in favor of retaining the pres-
ent name, e.g., the desirability of keeping the words. "Agnes
Scott," in it. This is a time when student opinion is greatly
desired and needed.

While it is the general concensus of the staff that some-
where there is a better name for the newspaper, it must be a
better one one that will definitely add to the spirit of the
publication. Let us beware of changing the name of the
"News" just for the sake of changing it.

Internationally Speaking

French 'Oui' Means
Hope for New Era

BY SUSIE WHITE

One bright spot appeared on
the international horizon last
week as Premier Charles De
Gaulle received his "absolute ma-
jority." Eighty per cent of the
French voters supported his ver-
sion of the Fifth Republic by ac-
cepting a new constitution which
will strengthen the central gov-
ernment of France.

Presidential Powers
Perhaps the biggest govern-
mental change is the provision for
a powerful Pres-
ident. Presiden-
tial powers in-
volved have been
compared with
those of a non-
hereditary mon-
arch. In addition
to being able to
White appoint all top

ranking officials and ratify all
treaties with a few exceptions in
peacetime, he will be able to as-
sume dictatorial powers in the
event of grave national emergen-
cy. It seems only logical that the
seven-year Presidency will fall to
DeGaulle.

Although the Premier loses a
number of powers to the Presi-
dent, he will assume many powers
once held by the Parliament. He
will have larger legislative powers
as well as a more stable tenure of
office.

DeGaulle's Plans

Having received his vote of con-
fidence. DeGaulle can consider
himself on the way to building the
stable France he desires. However,
his battle is far from won. There
is a slight matter of financial sup-
port for his developmental meas-
ures. He has expressed a desire to
bring about financial reform in
France in order to stifle inflation.
Moreover, he hopes to improve the
industrial position of France.
Algerian Problem

Also revolutionary are his plans
for French territories which in-
clude the establishment of a
French-African Community. All
French territories would continue
to receive aid plus a large degree
of self-government and the right
to independence when they chose.
The last measure was designed to
calm unrest and hasty indepen-
dence moves by providing the op-
portunity for freedom when de-

Dave Magel pinned Bonnie Friday night with his AEPI pin.

Two other happy souls are Sherry Addington, with a Beta pin from
Roger Whiteherst, a Beta at Sewanee; and Peggy Ford, with a
Clemson pin from Hugh Garner.

The football game, "Auntie Mame," and the annual fair were
the big attractions this weekend. Cloudy skies did not keep Scott ies
home!

Trudy Florrid, Mary Ellen Barnes, Jo Claridy, Vivian Connor, Bess
Ford, Eugenia Grafft, Edith Hanna, Bonnie Hatfield, Linda Ingram,
Carole Jackson, Lynn Lambert and Willie Byrd Childress all invaded
Grant Field Saturday afternoon.

The score satisfied these gals who were also there : Alice Cochrane,
Mary Wayne Crymes, Mary Culprepper, Linda Grant, Gayle Green.
Christy Hages, Bunny Henry, Harriet Higgins, Jane Kelly, Sue
McCurdy, Beth Magoffin, Ann Pollard, and Marcia Tobey.

Chipley, Felicity Evans, Mary Moore, Lucy Schow, Peggy Stewart,
Barbara Baldauf, Margaret Bullock, Harriet Elder, Pat Holmes,
Karel Kwass, Mickie North, Emily Pancake, Nell Archer, Ann Dodd,
Peggy Edney, Boo Florence, Patti Forrest, Margaret Fortney, Margaret
Goodrich, Betty Gzeckowicz, Emily Parker, Clare Seaman, and Sybil
Strupe.

Nancy Stone deserves recognition for winning a poodle at the
fair. Dot Porcher, Ann Morrison, Sarah Kipka, Joanna Praytor,
Betty Barber, Mary Beth Elkins, Judy Harrold, Pat Roger, Marion
Walton, and Pauline Winslow were also there.

Lithia Springs was the scene of a Sigma Nu party attended by
Sally Boineau, Rachel Fowler, Nell Archer, Betty Gillespie, Donna
Brock, and Margurite Dickert.

The Tech Phi Delta Theta's had a rock 'n roll juke box party.
Becky Evans, Jo Flowers, Germaine Calhoun, Virginia Aderhold,
Bonnie Best, Nancy Hall, and Gayle Green were among the Phi Delt
dates.

Eve Purdom, and Nancy Patterson were exclaiming about the
Todd AO musical, South Pacific.

The KA's seem to be a favorite among Scott gals. The Tech KA's
entertained Nancy Buchanan, Jan Head, Kathy Norfleet, Betty
Shannon, Jane Cooper, Binda Gay Fowlkes, Myrtle Gay, while the
KA's at Emory played host to Sally Gordy, Bonnie Hatfield, Renee
Soong, and Nora Ann Simpson.

by Ann Hutchinson, Diane Duke, Linda Lentz, Diane Foster, Brock
Hanna, Ann Holloman, Virginia K'Burg, Kathy Kemp, Mary Taylor
Lipscombe, Joe Robertson, Josie Rosen, Virginia Sperling, and June

A trip to Auburn was made by Franny Elliot and Jean Salter, while
the University of Georgia attracted Beth Fuller, Harriet Jackson,
Frances Perry, Joyce Seay, Joyce Spivey, and Betty Garrard.

A look at the sign out slips would indicate that plenty of contacts
have been made for Black Cat!

Four Graduates Continue Study
With Woodrow Wilson Grants

Four recent alumnae of Agnes Scott College are beginning
graduate work this year as Woodrow Wilson Fellows.

They are Jeanette A. Clark, Martha C. Magruder, Dorothy
A. Rearick, and Phoebe L. Robert.

The Agnes Scott College alu-
mnae are among the thousand
prospective college teachers in the
United States and Canada who are
entering graduate school this fall
on Woodrow Wilson National Fel-
lowships.

Ford Foundation Aid
Recognizing the critical need for
college teachers, the Ford Founda-
tion recently gave the Woodrow
Wilson Fellowship Foundation
$25,000,000 to aid outstanding first-
year graduate students. Each fel-
lowship carries a living allowance
of $1,400 for single students, with
increments for dependents, and
pays the full cost of tuition and
fees. In order to be considered for
a fellowship, a student must be
nominated by a faculty member.
Philosophy
Jeanette Ames Clark has en-
tered Yale University to do gradu-
ate work in philosophy or religion.

Miss Clark was
attracted to so
many subjects
psychology, reli-
gion, literature,
art history and
sociology that

she has had several of her works
published in literary quarterlies
and journals. The fall and winter
issues of the Perspective, a quar-
terly literary journal, pub-
lished a short story entitled "The
Time Sheet." The Georgia Mag-
azine, a local literary publication,
recently printed another of her
stories, "You Have To Do Every-
thing Yourself." Yet another of
Miss Trotter's works, "The Home
Place," is scheduled to appear
shortly in The Christian Herald.
Wife of Bath
Miss Trotter, obtains her crea-
tive inspiration from actual ex-
perience. She creates her charac-
ters from impressions of people
she has known; however, the char-
acter himself always possesses his
own individual identity and per-
sonality. The structure of a story
modifies a short story character,
and many different impressions
come together to form him. Miss
Trotter stated that like Chaucer's
Wife of Bath she finds experience
with people and places the basis
for gaining an insight into reality.

Writing is one hobby that is not
pure recreation, for each story rep-
resents many hours of hard work,
and Miss Trotter is never content
until a story is in its most per-
fect form.

She first writes the story and
then revises, and sometimes has
to rewrite her work many times.
In the words of the author,
"Writing is never easy. I revise
my stories as much as freshmen
do their themes, perhaps more."
Pet

An additional hobby that offers
a bit more relaxation is Miss Trot-
ter's Boston bull, Buster. Buster
has a history all his own, for he
has belonged to not one but two
ASC faculty members. He came to
Miss Trotter through a former
Agnes Scott physical education
teacher, Mrs. Story, when this lady
left her position here.

Miss Trotter also enjoys work-
ing with her home, and some of
her time is spent beautifying her
yard. Last but not least of her
activities is her membership in
the choir of Holy Trinity Episco-
pal Church in Decatur.

Miss Margaret Trotter, teacher
of many, creative writer, and mu-
sician, like many of our faculty
members, does not limit herself to
teaching but broadens and devel-
ops other interests.

Hockey Season Approaches;
Columnist Picks Sophomores

BY SYLVIA SAXON

Hockey is now in full swing and everyone seems anxious for the
season to begin. It's no wonder either, because all four teams appear
to be in tip-top shape and from the looks of things, this season will be
one of the most exciting in quite a few years.

Freshmen

The Juniors worked out the freshmen last week and sounded a
warning to the upper classes to beware. It seemed
incredible that there could be such teamwork in a
squad that had never played together before. The
defense, bolstered by May Holman Curd and Peggy
Mitchell, stopped junior advances time and again.
The offense, led by Beth Hendee and Caroline
Askew, displayed good teamwork in advancing the
ball downfield. The young team will certainly be
no pushover. Just watch them win some games this
fall.

Sophomores

The sophomores, heavily-laden with experienced players, should be
the favorites to win the hockey championship. With such stalwarts
as Bunny Henry, Tricia Walker, and Sue McCurdy on offense, the
sophs will have a lot of scoring power. Pacing the defense will be
aggressive players Betsy Dalton and Gayle Rowe. So look for the
sophs to win a lot of games by wide margins.

Juniors

The juniors are faced with a rebuilding problem: how to replace
such regulars as Fewell, Parker, and Edwards from last year's team.
The defense, sparked by Leroy, Duvall, Specht, and John, is probably
the best of the four teams. With such scrappers as Florence, Imray,
Bowman, and Hoskins on offense, the juniors should certainly score
this year and win some games.

Seniors

The seniors, as last year, will have a small team, but look out! With
three years' of playing experience behind them, they are not to be
underrated. Led by regulars Weber, McCurdy, Muller, and Dudley,
the seniors are capable of being matched with any of the other teams.

Considering all teams, I guess I'll stick my neck out and make a
few predictions. Here's how I think they'll finish:

1. Sophs, 2. Juniors, 3. Seniors, 4. Frosh

Students To Vie For Book Award

By Lil Hart

Books can be the "open
sesame" to many lands of ad-
venture and intrigue.

Unlimited Horizons

One can travel in a limitless
scope of time and place: from
the China of Pearl Buck to the
Africa of Cry the Beloved Coun-
try; from the world of Hamlet to
the modern hamlets of William
Falkner; from a Canterbury Pilg-
rimage with Chaucer to a court-
ly tournament with Sir Walter
Scott; from the world of music
to the world of chemistry; from
the realm of the philosophers to
that of the biologist. All of this
is in our heritage of books.

Award

To encourage the love of read-
ing and the delight in ownership,
a book award was established
many years ago. The Louise Mc-
Kinney Book Award of $25, es-
tablished as a tribute to Miss
Louise McKinney, professor emeri-
tus of English, is awarded each
year to the girl who takes the
best advantage of the insurance
of good books and in so doing
gathers her own personal library
shelf.

Varied Fields

The collection may be in one
field or may cover several fields
of interest such as the sciences,
history, philosophy, biography, fic-

tion, poetry, drama, art, or music.
The collection should represent
the owner's taste and interest and
must consist of at least fifteen
books. Books entered should be
collected from May to May.
Deadline

Book collectors should enter this
contest as soon as possible and
not later than the end of fall
quarter. Names may be submitted
to some member of the English
department.

In May the collections are sub-
mitted to the judges and the book
collectors have a very informal
interview concerning their books.

The winner of the McKinney
Award is announced each year at
graduation exercises.

Suellen Beverly and Harriet Jackson examine book display in library
as they plan for their collections.

Zulus' lost In The Stars'
Spotlights Dark Continent

Christian Association is sponsoring a project this fall called
"Accents on Africa." Displays, discussions, and talks will
carry out this theme, Oct. 20 through 24.

On Tuesday, October 21, Chris-
tian Association, as part of Af-
rican Emphasis Week, will present
a program of choral reading given
by members of the Speech Depart-
ment and special readers.

Paton Novel

The program will be an adapta-
tion of Maxwell Anderson's musi-
cal play, "Lost in the Stars." The
musical is based on Alan Paton's
novel, Cry the Beloved Country,
the story of a Zulu minister's son's
murder of a white boy whose fath-
er had befriended the Zulus.

The group reading will be given
by the following: Betty Bellune,
Janice Bowman, Suzanne Crosby,
Becky Davis, Diane Foster, Linda
Grant, Kay Gwaltney, Brock Han-
na, Sara Kipka, Jane Law, Mildred
Ling, Julia McNairy, and Marianne
Sharp, with Dr. Chang, Dr. Kline,
and Dr. Rice reading the principal
roles. In addition to the choral
reading, members of the Glee Club
will sing the title song from the
play, "Lost in the Stars."

Library Display

Throughout the week the library
will have a display on Africa. Ad-
ditional materials concerning Af-
rica will be arranged in the outer
downstairs room in the dining hall.
These may be seen during the
breakfast and dinner hours on Fri-
day, and from breakfast through
the afternoon on Saturday.

Cornelius

Mr. Cornelius will be in the Hub,
October 23, at 10:00, for an infor-
mal discussion. On Friday, Octo-
ber 24, Reverend Charles T. Mc-
Kee, a Presbyterian missionary to
the Congo, will be the chapel
speaker.

The purpose of this project is to
help relate the Agnes Scott cam-
pus to all countries of the world,
and particularly to those of the
huge and relatively little-known
continent of Africa.

Beverly Captures Lead In Play
As Blackfriars Select Fall Cast

On Thursday, Sept. 26, Blackfriars held its first meeting
of the 1958-59 session. At this time the choice for the fall
quarter production was announced.
Fall Play

A script committee composed of
Miss Winter and Blackfriars rep-
resentatives chose Maurice Valen-
cy's adaption of "The Enchanted",
a play by Jean Giraudoux.

The plot of this play concerns a
young girl, Isabel, who believes
in the existence of the spirit world.
Her belief is so strong that it
evokes a genuine phantom and
the world is threatened with a
spiritual revolution. However, as
the action progresses, Isabel finds
the adventures of love more ex-
citing that the adventures of the
world of spirits and death.
Cast

Tryouts were held October 1
and the following persons were
selected for the cast which in-
cludes ten women and nine men.
The role of Isabel will be played
by Suellen Beverly; the two Man-
gebois sisters by Annette Whipple
and Martha Bethea, and the Little
Girls by Pete Brown, Ethel Du-
Rant, Lydia Dwen, Myrtle Guy,
Betty Mitchell, Sally Sanford, and
Kay Weber. The men chosen for
the cast are: Henry Begg, Francis
Benjamin, Phil Davis, Richard
Fretwell, Michael Guitter, Fred

Sally Sanford trims Xancy
Groves* beard for Blackfriars'
1958 Spring production of "The
Tempest." Sally will appear in
"The Enchanted." which the
dramatics group has scheduled
for November 21.

'Lost Souls'

In a recent discussion around campus, a strong criticism
was made about our college which seems to us a very valid
one: the pitiful lack of individualism, of self-expression.

The majority of the group agreed with the criticism, and
felt that Agnes Scott is failing in some way to meet the
needs of all its students; that Agnes Scott is
failing to provide an adequate stimulus for a
large group of totally apathetic individuals
We very definitely agree that there is an
appalling number of girls on this campus
who merely exist on the surface through
four years; who never grow much beyond
the level of the freshman who begins a round

of classes here in 19 , and who eventually

becomes a high school graduate with a

oma.

For these sleepwalkers we covet the freedom of the im-
agination expanding and stretching to its limits; the joy of
giving oneself away to others; the sheer delight in discovery;
the thrill and deep satisfaction in creating.

And we ache to see them day after day standing in the
lunch line, sitting in the Hub, crossing the quadrangle
knowing what this college experience can and should mean
to every one of us.

In a final analysis, we realize that hopeless task of touching
off a spark, of eliciting a response from those who do not
care enough to make the initial effort. For the desire to
grow, to develop oneself, must come from within. And yet
we know, too, that what is here at Agnes Scott is far from
ideal; that much needs to be done to make it the real means
to the end we are seeking: to be fully awake, aware and sen-
sitive women.

We question sincerely what we Agnes Scott students can
do to check this frightening waste of intellect, spirit, and
personality. C. D.

Down With Calldowns!

Since Agnes Scott students have shown that it is possible
to maintain high standards in the area of dress without a
system of call downs, isn't it time that we re-evaluated our
dorm call down system?

The present attitude toward penalities for noise during
quiet hours, phone abuse, and showers late at night make a
mockery and a farce of the honor system.
Those girls who are deliberately going to
make noise and monopolize the phones defeat
the purpose of the call down system by dis-
turbing others and hogging the lines, then
giving themselves a call down or so to ease
their consciences, if they do that much. Con-
versely, the conscientious, perhaps shy girl,
who tries hard not to disturb people, runs
and gives herself two call downs for the
slightest infraction of the rules.

The shower regulations are rather senseless, since in most
dorms the rooms adjacent to the showers are not occupied. A
shower in the wee hours, provided the doors to the bathroom
are closed, would do no one any harm and might help some
girl to sleep better after a tense study session or help another
wake up enough to finish the last bit on a paper.

The call down for neglecting coke co-op is still another of
our seldom observed penaties. Our thesis is, if we are going
to have a working honor system, let's eliminate the superflu-
ous and really enforce the essential.

Constant consideration is one of the characteristics of this
campus. We should not need a system of call downs resulting
in an eventual campus to enforce this. We are mature enough,
we hope, to be able to live considerately and honorably with
each other, exercising self control. C. F.

If s Quemoy, Matsu Again
As Guns Cease For Talks

By Susie White

The offshore islands of Quemoy and Matsu again made
neadlines last week as the Chinese Communist Minister of
National Defense called for a seven-day cease-fire in the
Formosa Straits.

As Americans pleaded for the
avoidance of war, disapproval of
the U.S. position in Asia was
strongly evidenced among her al-
lies in Europe. Whether or not the
Secretary of State acted under
pressure, his answers to questions
at his press conference last week
appeared to point toward a new
emphasis on conciliation.

When the word reached Formo-
sa, reactions ranged from expres-
sions of misunderstanding by Chi-
ang to bitter words of "betrayal"
expressed by Chiang's Nationalist
Chinese officials. However, des-
pite the evidenced new emphasis,
U.S. policy in the formal sense re-
mained unchanged. The Warsaw
conference would be continued in
the hope of a dependable cease-
fire.

Eisenhower

Moreover, Eisenhower virtually
released a statement of policy in a
letter to Senate Foreign Relations
Committee Chairman Green. In
the letter he declared the U.S.
would not fight over Quemoy and
Matsu but would fight to stop the
advance of Communism into the
western Pacific.

Chinese Unification
The guns were silent last week,
but there was no peace. Chinese
Reds appealed over the head of
Chiang to the Nationalist peoples,
calling for a unification of the
Chinese against the US. As diplo-
mats press for continued negotia-
tions in the increasing unrest, it
is quite evident that this "war
party" is far from over.

Several reasons can be put forth
in explanation of the Red Chinese
action. As the
United States
showed its deter-
mination to avoid
a retreat in the
face of force, Ni-
kita Krushchev
proclaimed that
the Soviet Union
would come to
the aid of her ally only in the event
of "an attack from without," in
other words, an attack by the U.S.

Moreover, the policy of the Uni-
ted States, through the speeches
of Dulles and Eisenhower, became
increasingly ambiguous, creating
uncertainty in diplomatic circles.
Criticism was voiced both by the
United States and the foreign
press.

Campus Clubs Plan

Movies Offer Comedy, Orient;
Danes To Perform In Concert

By Ann Parker

Polar bears, comedy, Geisha girls, and music form the
basis for movies on the Atlanta scene.

White Wilderness at the Rial to
is a Walt Disney documentary pre-
senting the eternal fight for sur-
vival in the Arctic. The product
of three years of
work in the Arc-
tic by eleven pho-
t o g r aphers, it.
portrays inciden-
in the lives of a
frisky seal, cocky
bear cubs, a wal-
rus, a wolverine,
and many other

animals. Most awesome is the an-
nual mass suicide of a colony of
rodents driven to destruction by
famine. At times the movie is hu-
morous, sometimes brutal, but al
ways exciting entertainment in the
realm of reality.

Wilder's Play
Shirley Booth. Paul Ford, Shir-
ley MacLaine, and Anthony Per-
kins combine talents to create an
t musing farce, The Matchmaker,
at the Art Theatre. Based on the
play by Thornton Wilder the movie
centers around widow Shirley
Booth's attempt to hook a rich
merchant who prefers finance to
matrimony. Dialogue and action
are clever and clownish.

Orient

John Wayne stars as the first
U.S. consul to Japan, after Ad-
miral Perry opened up the hitherto
isolationist Orient, in The Barbar-
ian and the Geisha at the Fox. Al-
though a teetotaler, Wayne has a

few other faults not complimentary
to a diplomat. All ends well,
though, as recognition finally
comes from the government.
Geisha girl Okichi, however, is
quick to extend the open-door poli-
cy. Scenery includes many shots of
Japan's beautiful gardens, temples,
and harbors.

Gigi at Loew's is a musical ver-
sion of the famous Colette novel.
Music and lyrics by Lerner and
Lowe of My Fair Lady is again
excellent. The film sparkles with
exquisite sets and costumes. Star-
ring Leslie Caron, Maurice Che-
valier, and Louis Jordan, it should
provide enjoyable light entertain-
ment.

Voltaire

The musical play Candide based
on Voltaire's satire appears at the
Tower Theatre on October nine-
teenth. It stars Martyn Green,
Robert Rounseville, and lira Pe-
tina. Music is by Leonard Bern-
stein.

All Star Concert

The Danish National Orchestra,
second program of the All Star
Series, appears at the Municipal
Auditorium Thursday, October 16.

Campus Doubles Bring Double -Takes;
>n Rules As Twins Invade ASC

By Mildred Love

"Hello there, Nan, er . . . I mean, Sue." goes a typical greeting on the Agnes Scott campus
as the Chipley twins come through again and add another name to the "confused" list. Sue
and Nan Chipley from San Antonio, Texas, aren't the only sisters at Scott. In fact, there are
a total of fifteen sister combinations in the student body. And to be sure, it doesn't take twins
to frustrate people about names! Lila and Peggy McGeachy look exactly alike.
Eight States

The Scott sister sets hail from
eight different states. Georgia, of
course, leads with a total of four,
while Virginia, West Virginia and
Tennessee are on the bottom of
the pile with one each. Seven of
the big sisters are seniors, five are
juniors, and one is a sophomore.
On the little sister side, there are
six sophomores and seven fresh-
men.

Georgia

Sally and Jo Allison Smith want-
ed to get away from home and see
the big wide world. Therefore, they
decided to journey to Scott. (By
the way, they're from Atlanta)
Linda and Madge Clark from Ma-
con are another sister team and
Scott's second set of twins is Judy
and Jody Webb, juniors from Don-
alsonville. Mary Culpepper trans-
ferred to Agnes Scott from Ran-
dolph-Macon this year and thus
completed a fourth sister set from
Georgia.

Texas

Living up to its reputation, Tex-
as has the most distinctive record
of sisters at Scott. In addition to
claiming the Chipley twins, San
Antonio is home for Runita and
Sue McCurdy. At a glance, it does-
n't appear that the Texas sisters
are any more numerous than those
from other states. But look a little
closer. Sue and Runita are two
of five girls, and by the time each
of the Misses McCurdys receives
her BA, there will have been at
least one McCurdy here for thir-
teen years! How's that for family
representation ?

When asked if this business of
attending the same college was
planned from the very beginning,
most of the sisters reply "No, it
just worked out that way."

The next standard question is,
"Why did you choose Agnes
Scott?" In most cases these ladies
wished to attend a good girl's
school. Several of the sisters are
Agnes Scott granddaughters, while
others are the first Scott repre-
sentative from their family.

All of these sisters seem to have
the same feeling about attending
the same school: they think it's
great! Yes, it is great to share
mail, to call home together, and
to be near each other.

Black Cat Hop Attracts Men
From Carolina, Tennessee

By Dolly Bates

The Black Cat Sock Hop was the number one attraction this week-
end. Friday night saw "gobs" of Scotties whirling to the music of
Neal Montgomery's band. Agnes Scott almost looked like a co-ed
school !

Enteraining boys from "far away places" were Eve Purdom, Lisa
Ambrose, Knox Jones, and Margaret Bullock. Eve, Knox, and Mar-
garet's dates were from the University of North Carolina. Tvveedie
Trammell from UNC visited Anita Moses. Lisa Ambrose's brother
wns here from the University of Tennessee for the express pur-
pose of seeing Tenn. win the game.

The Fair proved a big attraction for the second week in a row. Ann
Cobb, Mary Dunn, Katherine Jo Freeman, Nancy Graves, Sally San-
ford, Nora Ann Simpson, Jody and Judy Webb, Edith Hanna, Sylvia
Pruitt, Susan Abernathy, Annette Whipple, and Joyce Seay were there.
Harry s was the scene of a Tech Phi Delt party. Partying with
the Phi Delts were Jill Imray, Runita McCurdy, Anita Moses, Molly
Dotson, Virginia Aderhold, Dee Conwell, and Harriet Jackson.
Ann Cobb, Margaret Salvadore, Martha Starrett, Linda Kerley,
Betty Pancake, Joyce Townsend, Rose Marie Traeger, Ann Russell,
and Virginia Sperling were at the TKE party Saturday night.

The movie at the Fox, "The Barbarian and the Geisha" attracted,
Mary Jane Pickens, Lil Hart, Ann Russell, and Linda Grant.
Congratulations to Judy Houchins who is now the proud possessor
of the Tech Beta pin of Hal Wightman.

Mural Symbolizes
History of Alphabet

This week in McCain library
Agnes Scott students will
have the opportunity of be-
ing the first to see the art
work of Mr. Ferdinand War-
ren symbolizing the develop-
ment of the printed word. Mr.
Warren, head of the art de-
partment of Agnes Scott, has
devoted his entire summer to
the painting of a mural on
this subject. It will be on display
in the library Thursday through
Saturday, and Sunday from 4:00'
5:30 p.m.

Painting for Atlanta Firm
Mr. Warren was asked by Foote
and Daves Incorporated, a printing
company in Atlanta, to paint the
mural to be placed in the recep-
tion room of their new plant. It
will be installed Nov. 15, and the
plant will begin operating in late
December or early January.
History of Alphabet
There are twelve panels which
will cover the width of one wall,
and each panel represents a stage
in the development of the alpha-
bet. They start with drawings of
prehistoric men and end with an
abstraction expressing the results
of the development, that is, the
spread of knowledge.

Frieze

Extending along the top of the
panels is a Frieze showing the
means by which the alphabet has
been preserved. The first part of
the frieze, corresponding to the
first panel, shows the cave man
drawing on the rock walls, and
the last part shows the new print-
ing press which will be installed
in the Foote and Daves plant.
Early to Modern

Mr. Warren has carried out such
details as to make the small border
of designs along the top of the
frieze correspond to the period
represented below it. The design is
simple at the beginning, becomes
more complex during the Renais-
sance period, and then becomes
simple again symbolizing modern
design.

The mural will also be on dis-
play at Davidson's Department
Store Nov. 3-10.

Sir John Gielgud's performance of "Shakespeare's Ages of Man" has been hailed by

the Spectator of London as an "astonishing and highly characteristic performance quiet,

cerebral, beautifully spoken, a little understated, leaving the unmistakable impression
that here was the most intelligent actor on the English stage."

This solo performance is based
on George Rayland's Shakespeare
Anthology. Sir John will present
"Shakespeare's Ages of Man" on
Thursday, Oct. 23. at eight
o'clock in Presser Hall.

Program Outline
The program is divided into
three parts: Youth, Manhood, and
Old Age. A portrait of each of
these three, which is taken from
Shakespeare's plays, is given.
Youth is portrayed as childhood,
magic and faery, nature, sport,
love, jealousy, and lust. Manhood
is viewed in the light of war, civil
strife, kingship, government and
society, passion, and character.
Old Age, the third and final stage
of man, is portrayed as death,
sickness, man against himself, old
age, and time.

Ancestry
Gielgud's name is Lithuanian
rather than Scottish as it is
often supposed. Of this he is very
proud. His grandmother on his
father's side was a famous Polish
actress, Mme. Aszbergu.

Nephew of Ellen Terry
Gielgud's love of the theater
also came from his mother's fami-
ly. They were the Terrys, an
English theatrical family. His
mother was Kate Terry, sister
of the great Shakespearean ac-
tress, Ellen Terry. Gielgud saw
his first play, which was "Peter
Pan," in 1911. In this production
his Terry relatives starred. From
this moment on he aspired to be-
come an actor.

Schooling
Sir John was educated at West-
minister school. He studied stage
at Lady Benson's school and at
the Royal Academy of Dramatic
Art, winning scholarships at both.
His first appearance on the

Mr. Ferdinand Warren poses beside the twenty-six foot mural on
Which he has portrayed the history of printing. The first public
showing of the mural will be in the Agnes Scott library October 30 -
November 2.

Cornelius Will Lead
African Discussion

Tonight at 10:00 in the Hub Mr.
Cornelius of Agnes Scott's History
and Political Science Department
will lead an informal discussion on
Africa. This discussion is another
of the events that has been plan-
ned by Christian Association for
African Emphasis Week.

Hub Discussion

Mr. Cornelius will first give a
few facts and a short talk on Af-
rica which will be followed by a
question and answer period. Kath-
erine Jo Freeman is Christian As-
sociation's representative in charge
of this part of "Accents on Africa."
Missionary Speaker

This week of African Emphasis
will end with a talk in chapel Fri-
day by Reverend Charles T. Mc-
Kee, a Presbyterian missionary to
the Congo, and displays in the low-
er dining hall. These displays will
be open for viewing during break-
fast and dinner on Friday and
from breakfast through the after-
noon on Saturday.

Sir John Gielgud

stage at the Old Vic was Nov. 7,
1921, as Herald in "Henry the
Fifth."

'The World We Live In'

He played at the Regent, in
May, 1923, as Felix in "The In-
sect Comedy," al60 known as
"The World We Live In." Since
this time Sir John has become the
leading member of the Old Vic
Company and star of the West
End of London and at Stratford-
on-Avon.

American Performances
His performances have not been
confined to the English stage. On
Broadway he starred in "Crime
and Punishment," "The Import-
ance of Being Earnest," and
Christopher Fry's "The Lady's Not
For Burning."

At the Academy of Dramatic
Arts in London, Sir John came
under the influence of Claude
Raines. The two became close
friends and appeared together in
the film, "Julius Caesar." which
starred Raines as Caesar and
Gielgud as Cassius. With perfec-
tion as his goal, Sir John Gielgud
has rightly been acclaimed the
foremost interpreter of Shake-
spearean drama and ranked with
the great actors of the legitimate
stage.

Kraemer To Speak
For Senior Service

Seniors will be formally invested
with the responsibility of being
seniors at the traditional investi-
ture service to be held Saturday,
November 1, at 12:00 in Gaines
Chapel.

Guest speaker for the occasion
is Dr. S. G. Stukes, Dean Emeri-
tus. Miss Scandrett will cap the
seniors.

An open house is to be held Sat-
urday afternoon in Walter's Base-
ment for the parents of the sen-
iors to meet the faculty.

One of the two Sunday worship
services held on the Agnes Scott
campus will be the service on the
Sunday following Investiture at
11:00 a.m. The speaker is Dr.
Charles E. S. Kraemer, President
of Assembly's Training School, and
also the father of Senior Jane
Kraemer.

The class of 1913 was the first
class to be publicly invested. Up
to this time there had been a pri-
vate ceremony of investiture held
in Dr. Gaines' study. It is believed
that the whole ceremony was sug-
gested 'by Miss Cady, professor of
history.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, October 22, 1958

Unlicensed Libel

Last week a business envelope arrived in the afternoon
mail addressed simply: "Editor, The Agnes Scott News." In-
side this harmless paper exterior was the most vile, vicious
propaganda to which we have been exposed by any group.

Blatantly libeling the Negro, the Jewish, and ironically,
the Presbyterian church, the tracts labelled each in turn
"Communistic, " and called for immediate action against them.
The statements were framed in the most derogatory terms
conceivable, and the claims made were fantastic beyond
belief.

If the circumstances were not so tragic, we would be in-
clined to laugh, ridiculing those who would
dare to write such fantastic lies.

But because violent action of this nature
is rapidly increasing a fact graphically
examplified in the recent bombing of the
Jewish Temple we are deeply concerned,
especially as Southerners.

In last week's Atlanta paper, a noted
columnist analyzed the situation and we feel,
has come to the heart of the matter. In any
system, when those in power disregard and defy authority
in "higher places," the gates are opened wide for complete
rebellion and rampant unlawlessness. The structure on which
our country's freedom is built is toppling.

And we ask ourselves, what can we do as students, many
of whom are not yet old enough to vote?

It seems to us that the most adequate answer lies in total
committment to truth, in a realization and awareness of the
situation in which we live, and in a practice of those Christian
virtues of charity and sincerity which we profess. C. D.

Closed-Door Policy?

The scene is that of a large room. Several people are play-
ing bridge. One or two are studying. Someone is hanging out
the window talking over the phone. Quite a few people are
just sitting, not meditating on much of anything. On one of
the walls there's a sign which reads: THE HUB IS CLOSED
BETWEEN 10:30 AND 11:00 A.M.

This scene is reenacted almost five days a week at the same
time: 10:30 - 11:00 a.m. It's usually the same characters parti-
cipating. When questioning these people a-
bout their actions one gets a variety of
answers: "I just couldn't take chapel!", "Well
I have a test and have to study these 30
minutes and my room is across campus!", and
"I was dying of a nicotine fit and Fd also like
to play bridge!"

A few people will tell you that they didn't
know the Hub was closed but there's that

ever-present sign which reads: THE HUB

lb UJLUSED BETWEEN 10:30 AND 11:00 A.M.

What can be done about this? The Hub could be locked
but a locked door seems to be a slap in the face to those
people who obey the rules on their honor. The only solution
lies within those people themselves who are breaking this
rule. B. G.

Mao Uses Call Of "War
To Speed Collectivization

By Susie White

As the United States hoped, the cease-fire in the Taiwan
strait was extended for two weeks. Around the world re-
porters hailed the extention as a moral victory for the
United States. However, although the Red Chinese have ap-
parently accepted a temporary postponement in the pursuit
of their demands, they have been able to use "war" cry to the
advantage of their domestic policy.

Total Communism

Once observers declared that Red
China was repeating step by step
Russia's Communist development;
however, it is now quite evident
that Mao Tse-Tung is attempting
an experiment far more drastic
than anything Stalin or Khrush-
chev ever tried-total Communism-
by organizing the Chinese people
into "people's communes."

First Commune
The first commune, a single unit
H of 9,300 peasant
families, was set
up last March and
organized along
strict military
lines. Playing
upon the pat-
riotism of the
Chinese people
who are proud of
the status their country is finally-
attaining in international circles.
Mao speeded up the organization
in an all-out drive to merge China's
750,000 farming co-operatives into
100,000 communes.

However, the Communist regime
is not meeting with absolute, ab-
ject cooperation. Peking even ad-
mits some "vacillation" has occur-
red among the "upper middle
peasants". Membership in a com-
mune necessitates the giving up of
private ownership of land, houses,
and farming equipment and the
participation by all in industrial
activity as well as farming.
Family relationships a mainstay
of old China are not to be con-

sidered inviolable as communal
barracks, communal nurseries, and
"people's mess halls" take the
place of homes.

It will be interesting to see
whether or not the Chinese people
are willing to subject themselves
to mass collectivism, even for the
promise of bringing Red China to
the status of an industrial giant
and gaining ideological pre-em-
inence in the Communist world.
Obviously the success or failure
of Mao's big undertaking will in-
fluence the foreign diplomacy of
Red China.

interest for ev-
ery taste. Anti-
que furniture and
sculpture are also
found there.
Movies
Drama, music
and comedy provide the basis for
movies. At the Rialto appears the
taut emotional drama, Harry Black
and the Ti^er. Stewart Granger
stars as Harry Black, hired by the
Indian government to kill a
bothersome tiger, whose prefer-
ence for humans instead of water
buffaloes is reducing the popula-
tion. Thanks to Anthony Steel,
cowardly and blundering war bud-
dy, Harry Black is nearly added
to the menu. While recuperating,
Harry falls for Steele's wife, Bar-
bara Rush. The final outcome is
perhaps unexpected to those
familiar with Stewart Granger's
usual triumphs.

Andy Griffith transfers from

army private in No Time for Serg-
eants to cook's assistant in the
Coast Guard in the movie Onion-
head at the Fox theatre. A love
affair with the chief cook's wife
plus complete ignorance of the
art of cuisine create a few of the
problems for the comedian. All
ends well for Griffith despite com-
plications.

Musically speaking, Gigi, "the
story of a good little French girl
who was taught to be bad," con-
tinues at Loew's. Star Leslie
Caron, music, sets, and costumes
are colorful and exquisite.

South Paeific at the Roxy is
still tops in excellent entertain-
ment. Rodgers and Hammerstein's
music at its best, plus clever
comedy make it a must for those
who have not seen it.

Jazz

Jazz fans will welcome the an-
nouncement of jazz six nights
weekly at Hank and Jerry's Hide-
away. Although primarily Dixie-
land, the band does include a few
slow ones.

For an out-of-t he-ordinary even-
ing visit the Rollerdome on Ponce
de Leon. Both professionals and
beginners will find roller skating
fun.

sist of a freshman panel led by
Lila McGeachy.

Hub discussions for students
will be held Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights moderated by Carolyn
Mason and Mrs. Melvin Drucker,
respectively. The success of these
discussions depends primarily on
student attendance and participa-
tion. Annette Teague, overvall
chairman, urges the entire campus
community to attend. Questions
for these discussions can be turned
in to Jill Imray.

Day Students

A day student discussion Tues-
day at 1:00 p.m., led by Pam Syl-

tures "Honor In You," with a
choral reading, written by Martha
McCoy and given by students, dir-
ected by Mary Hammond.

grams and discussions, chapel on
Thursday will be devoted to a
pledge ceremony. Following an ad-
dress by Patti Forrest, freshmen
will be asked to sign the pledge
book. Lila McGeachy will close
the program with a challenge to
the student body to renew their
pledge and to strengthen the
Honor System with their own
personal honor.

Fullbright Scholar Angelika Vieth relaxes at Piano in the Hub

Concentration Camp Encounter
Lands Fulbright Scholar at ASC

A new face seen on campus this year is that of Angelika
Vieth (pronounced An-gale-ika Feet), a Fulbright scholar
from Germany,

Angelika's father, Dr. Ludger
Vieth, professor of English, French
and German at the University of
Bonn, was an interpreter in a Ger-
man concentration camp during
World War II. There he met a
GI, Chester Morse from Decatur,
Georgia, and their strong Christ-
ianity made them good friends.

In 1956, Morse visited Dr. Vieth
and his family in Bonn and asked
Angelika if she would like to come
to Agnes Scott. Angelika won a
Fulbright Scholarship and took
College Board Exams in English
to win an Agnes Scott scholar-
ship. Wouldn't you love the chal-
lenge of taking College Boards in
a foreign language?

Prep School
Angelika began school in a 'nigh
school", at 6 years of age and after
the fourth grade, took 12 courses
every year. After 13 years of "high
school" she had a period of 6 weeks
for oral and written examinations.
If a student passes this set of
exams, he can go to a university.

For 3 months Angelika attended
a French college in Blois; while
there she wasn't allowed to leave
the campus, nor have any dates.
The Sorbonne she liked much bet-
ter. She lived in a hotel where
there were lots of other students
who provided a gay party life.
Courses at the University of Bonn
followed.

International Education
In addition to her formal edu-
cation, she and her handsome
brother Erhard, who is now study-
ing in Paris, have spent several of
their summer vacations as ex-
change students in England,
France, Italy, Switzerland, and
Austria. Angelika is no stranger
to living in other countries as a
student.

In some aspects, German social
life is very different from ours. All
dates are dutch. One never goes to
the movies on a date, for, as An-

gelika says, a couple can't get to
know each other that way. Dates
usually consist of private parties
or long discussions in bars and
restaurants. A German girl never
plays the field; she has only one
boy friend at a time.

There are no required courses in
European universities and no tests.
Oral and written exams come at
the halfway mark of the student's
college career. Angelika, who wants
to ; be a teacher or interpreter, will
have her first set of exams after
two and a half years of school.

Junior Weds Tech Graduate;
Dance Group Attends Forum

Anyone will agree that it has been quite a weekend for inmates
of this campus. The perfect football weather drew many to the
practically perfect football game (that depends on your point of view).
But the athletic show was only half the story.

Nell Archer and Jo Flowers watched Laura Parker walk down
the aisle of Christ Church in Greenville, S. C, to become Mrs.
Richard Lowndes. Laura and Dick, a Tech graduate student, are
living; at 116 Evans Drive, Decatur.

Several Scott girls were heard laughing at that hilarious comedy,
"The Matchmaker." The voices came from Jo Stokes, Bessie Murphy,
Emily Parker, and Mary Jane Moore.

The lucky fans cheering during the Tech-Auburn game included
Sissy Daniel, Peyton Baber, Margaret Dexter, Lydia Dwen, Joanno
Russell, Martha Lambeth, Emily Bailey, Beth Fuller, Trudy Florrid,
Myra Glazer, Kay Lamb, Suzanne Manges, Mary Mac Witherspoon,
Pat Anderson, Mary Ellen Barnes, and Jo Claridy.
Among the many Scott girls whirling around the Tech Coliseum
at the IFC Dance this weekend were Suellen Beverly, Scotty Mad-
dox, Sissie Harris, Carol Cowan, Barbara Varner, Grace Woods, Jane
Kelly, Suzanne Crosby, Betty Gzechkowicz, Margaret Havron, and
Lil Hart. Gay faces and tired feet also belonged to Nancy Patterson,
Kathy Kemp, Ann Avant, Mary Lair, Pat Holmes, Jo Hester, Rinda
Gay Fowlkes, Alice Boykin, Carol Williams, Rosemary Kittrell, Ann
Pollard, and Jane Norman.

Emily Bivens and Molly Dotson enjoyed an evening at Aunt
Fanny's. Not to be outdone, Marjorie Erickson and Edith Hanna
dined at the Luau.
The Tech SAE's entertained Cynthia Butts, Jane Bennet, Martha
McKinney, K. Jo Freeman, Becky Davis, Sue Gray, Suzanne Pick-
ens, Eleanor Hill, Jane King, Mary Dunn, and Jean Corbett.

Boogie Helm and Irene Shaw think that nothing can beat a
bridge game at the Ansley Golf Club while Caroline Dudley,
Martha McCoy, and Arlene Atkins enjoyed a meal at Caruso's.
Sylvia Pruitt is telling Doris Sanders that bowling is more fun
than Ice-skating even though it does mean sore muscles. Linda
Nichols, Joanne Scruggs, and Anne Modlin visited Flank and

Fritz Orr's was the scene of the Emory KA party attended by
Sally Gordy, Betty Sue Wyatt, Bonnie Hatfield, Martha Holland,
Elaine Sayers, Renee Spong, Jan Whitfield, Linda Grant, Jo
Robertson, and Marsha Lear. Tech KA's danced with Emily Pancake,
Mary Jo Hudgens, Janie Heary, Jane Cooper, Eve Purdom, Margaret

Payne, and Sally Blomquist were seen in the tropical atmosphere
of Robinson's. Judy Halsell and Emily Bivens enjoyed dinner at
the Officer's Club at Fort McPherson.
Ann Broad, Jo Jarrell, and Sandra Davis went to Milledgeville to
attend the Modern Dance Forum this week.

There were several other globe-trotters from Scott this past week.
Polly Brooks went to Washington and, Lee while Lila McGeachy
visited the Princeton Theological Seminary. Kay Gwaltney and
Jacky Chambers brought back glowing reports of the Annapolis
Naval Academy.

Juniors Triumph In Hockey;
Sophs Defeat Freshmam Team

By Sylvia Saxon

Hi, all you sports devotees! Well, the first hockey games
have come and gone, and what an exciting afternoon Friday
turned out to be! Whether winning or losing all classes pos-
sessed tremendous spirit on the field as well as in the stands.
The teams exhibited a minimum number of mistakes, and a
great amount of teamwork in the season's opener.

Seniors - Juniors

To officially blow the lid off the season, the seniors and
juniors squared away in a very even match. The juniors
threatened early in the first half as they remained deep in
senior territory the majority of the time. Nice senior de-
fensive play by Weber, Forrest, and McCurdy kept the
juniors from scoring. Juniors Florance, Muse, and Bowman
repeatedly hammered the senior defenses, but goalie K. Jo
Freeman and penalties threw a wrench into their scoring
hopes.

Seniors Offense Blocked

The second half saw the seniors opening up with a more
hhh|| potent scoring attack. Three times the senior
[^^^^|H offense, spear-headed by Muller, Hammond,
P|^PNHHl Dudley, and Currie, penetrated deep into

J| ' junior territory, but three times Leroy, John,

mk - 'Mr- Tobey, an d Specht, denied them a score. Both

H r teams showed extremely good offenses, but

f the defenses deserve even greater laurels.
i Only by outdistancing the senior backfield
if- % was the junior team able to break through
HI the seemingly impentrable defense. Imray
scored in the last five minutes of the game, thus giving the
juniors their first win in two years, 1-0. Katherine John is
especially to be commended for her excellent action in chasing
the dog off the field.

Sophs - Freshmen

The sophomores and freshmen began the second game
that turned into quite a scoring-feast. Stealing the ball at the
initial bully, the sophs raced upfield, with Bunny Henry
climaxing the drive with a beautifully placed shot into the
goal. The freshmen appeared to be upset by the sophs' scoring
power and did not begin to settle down and play as a team
until the second half. Individually, Curd, Hanna, Mitchell,
and Amidon shone for the f rosh. These Freshmen were largely
responsible for moving the ball down into soph territory on
several occasions but they failed to score because of careless
play and penalties. The most spectacular individual play was
turned in by Soph Betsy Dalton who raced all alone from
her own 25 down to the frosh 25. She was in the clear at
about the 30 and passed to her teammates who lost the ball
because of careless handling. Earlier Dalton had scored the
second goal of the game to make the score 2-0 in favor of the
sophs.

Final Score

Ironically enough, it was the frosh who made the last goal
for the sophomores to make the final tally read: sophs 3;
freshmen 0. Although the score was relatively high, the fresh-
men showed promise and seemed to gain experience as the
game progressed. As usual, it was another field day for the
yellow team whose defensive and offensive units are an
unbeatable duo.

So long until next time. Y'all come on down to the hockey
field and support your team. See you there!

Angelika . . .

(Continued from page 3)
Angelika likes Agnes Scott
community life, which is complete-
ly new to her, and was astonish-
ed by our honor system and em-
phasis on religious life. She finds
our campus friendly and wishes to
reciprocate by extending to all
Europe-bound Scotties an invi-
tation to visit her and her family
next slimmer in Bonn. And she's
serious about this, so take her up
on it.

Seniors Sponsor China Exhibit;
Students Evaluate New Patterns

Monday, October 20, between the
hours of 9:30 and 4:00, one hun-
dred juniors and seniors stated
their opinions about the new pat-
terns of Royal Doulton China.

The company set up displays of
china and figurines in Rebekah
Scott Reception Room, and each
student had a three minute ap-
pointment to inspect the line and
give her opinion as to which pat-
terns she preferred.

Only Georgia College

Agnes Scott is the only college
in Georgia that was asked to par-
ticipate in this poll. Among the
other colleges to take part in this
survey are Mary Washington, So-
phie Newcomb, Purdue, Duke, Wel-
lesley, Bryn Mawr, Northwestern,
and Oberlin, as well as many oth-
ers across the nation.

This survey is strictly a research
survey in taste determination.
Names of the colleges will not be
used in advertising, and there will
be no attempt to sell china to the

students.

Judy Harrold and Mary Mac
Weatherspoon were co-chairmen
of the committee in charge of ar-
rangements.

Fifty-First A SC Investiture
To Feature Dean, Parent

Following in a long tradition, Dean Emeritus Samuel Guerry Stukes will deliver the
annual Investiture address at noon on Saturday, Nov. 1. As "Ancient of Days" pours forth
from the organ in Gaines Chapel, the faculty in all their academic regalia and the senior
class of 1959, in their dignified black robes with caps in hand, will march in for the In-
vestiture Day service. This is the important day when the class is fully recognized as seniors.

Turn the clock back to 1907 and
one would see an entirely different
setting. Instead of Gaines chapel
there would be the living room in
the home of Dr. F. H. Gaines, first
president of Agnes Scott College.
Furthermore, there would be only
seven seniors. As time passed and
the classes became larger, the In-
vestiture service was moved to the
chapel and the Dean of Students,
Miss Hopkins, capped the seniors
instead of the president. It had
become traditional that an Inves-
titure talk be given by some mem-
ber of the faculty or faculty em-
eritus chosen by the seniors them-
selves.

Principal Speaker

This year's speaker is the dean
emeritus of the faculty, Dr. Sam-
uel Guerry Stukes. Dr. Stukes was
connected with Agnes Scott in
both an administrative and teach-
ing capacity for forty-four years.
He retired in 1957.

Dr. Stukes received his B. A.
from Davidson College. His MA.
was received from Princeton Uni-
versity. In 1911-12 he served as
Director of Religious Education for
the First Presbyterian Church in
Chattanooga, Tennessee. Then he
returned to Princeton to complete
his studies for his Bachelor of Di-
vinity degree. In 1946, Davidson,
his first alma mater, awarded him
the honorary degree of Doctor of
Pedagogy, in recognition of his
outstanding contributions in set-
ting and maintaining academic
standards in the South.

Sunday Worship Service

Having a campus church service
the day following Investiture is
relatively new in origin. Also the
increasing number of parents com-
ing for the whole weekend shows
an increasing significance of this
occasion. On Sunday, November 2,
a church service will be held in
Gaines Chapel at eleven o'clock
Dr. Charles E. S. Kraemer, Presi-
dent of the Presbyterian General
Assembly Training School in Rich-
mond, Virginia, will deliver the
sermon on "Faith, Obedience, and
Vocation."

Dr. Kraemer also received his

A. B. from Davidson College. His

B. D. was received from Louisville
Presbyterian Theological Semin-
ary. He studied for a year on a
fellowship from Earhart Founda-
tion for clinical pastoral training

Greek Scholar, Med Student
To Speak In Tuesday Chapel

On Tuesday, Nov. 4, Christian Association will present
in Chapel a special speaker from Greece, Mr. Demetrios
Toussis, sponsored by the World University Service, an or-
ganization promoting international relationship among stud-
ents. He is a UNESCO Scholarship student from Greece
where he is presently active as the Secretary of the World
University Service Committee in Thessaloniki.

Med School

Demetrios is at present a stu-
dent in the Medical School of the
Aristotelian University in Thes-
saloniki. The son of a carpenter,
he endured many hardships during
the early years of his education;
the Second World War posed ad-
ditional problems to European stu-
dents at that time. In 1952, after
taking his examinations for en-
trance into medical school, he
earned one of the highest marks
on the test and was awarded a
scholarship. He has been an honor
student throughout his academic
career, and for the past two years
he has been Secretary of the Thes-
saloniki World University Service

Committee.

Educational Interest

It is chiefly through his efforts
that an annual "student week"
has been established during which
time the attention of the entire
Greek nation is focused upon the
educational problems of Greek
students and funds are raised on
their behalf.

World University Service states
that "Mr. Toussis' rich experience
in his country's educational com-
munity and his personal convic-
tion about WUS' vital role in cre-
ating a broader world understand-
ing will make his appearance a
significant event on campus."

Students Question
Call-Down System

Serving as a preview of Honor
Emphasis Week, beginning Oct.
28, was the student meeting Oct.
23. At that time the merits and
faults of the call-down system of
dormitory violations were discuss-
ed. Executive Committee advanced
a plan whereby dormitory viola-
tions for failure to observe quiet
and absolute quiet hours, the five-
minute phone call limit, and the
midnight shower limit, would not
be punishable by call downs.

Having been previously consid-
ered by Executive Committee and
other student and faculty organ-
izations, 'this plan was not revolu-
tionary. With this background then,
the discussion created much cam-
pus-wide interest, which culmin-
ated in comments, questions, and
problems advanced at student
meeting last Thursday.

It was pointed out that with the
abolition of penalties for abuse of
the campus dress policy, stress on
that policy had been much less
than formerly. The relativity of
the present call-down system was
emphasized; while the words, "re-
sponsibility," "cooperation," and
"consideration," were constantly
recurring.

Students Pose Questions

Would doing away with the dor-
mitory call-down system merely
be an evasion of the existing evil?
If this plan is approved, will the
student body accept the responsi-
bility to themselves and to future
classes? Isn't the call-down sys-
tem an appeal to conscience,
whereas its abolition would be an
appeal to maturity? These and
other thought-provoking questions
occupied the minds of students.

A vote for this proposed plan
was termed a vote of confidence
and belief that the Agnes Scott
student body is mature and respon-
sible enough to accept more free-
dom than it even now has. A nega-
tive vote would seem to indicate
conviction that the student body
as a whole is not prepared to ac-
cept the great individual responsi-
bility that would accrue should the
new plan go into effect.

Student Vote

The vote, which was to be taken
at House Meeting Tuesday night,
Oct. 28, might give an indication
of the relative success of our Hon-
or System. Further, it should have
brought into sharp focus the
theme of our Honor Emphasis
Week, "Honor in You," which deals
with the matter of one's own per-
sonal integrity. The outcome of
this vote was expected to serve as
a keynote to our week's emphasis.

Expert To Discuss
Federal Exam, Jobs

Mr. Paty, representative of the
Examining Division of the Civil
Service's Regional Office in At-
lanta, will be in the Vocational
Office, No. 9 Buttrick, on Novem-
ber 4 at 3:45 p.m.

At this time, Mr. Paty will dis-
cuss with interested students this
examination and the openings in
the Federal government covered
by the exam. It is urged that all
students who are planning to take
the examination be present.

The World We Live In

Since the time when the cave dweller made his first crude
drawings of animals on the stone walls of his home, men have
painted and written about nature and the beauty of its four
seasons.

On a hiking trip in the Great Smoky Mountains last week-
end, we realized once more why man must continue through
the ages to express his awe and delight in the world in which
he lives.

Views defying description startled us at each bend in the
trail. Again and again we were overwhelmed by the tremend-
ous power which we felt around us, and we were humbled by
the knowledge that such beauty and strength are eternal and
we are mortal.

Others can tell us about nature and how they feel about
it; but it is only through our own awareness and appreciation
that we can know in some small part its meaning in our
own lives, and in the lives of all men. C. D.

U N - Boon Or Bust?

Plenty of water has gone under the bridge, as the saying
goes, since 50 nations, deeply conscious of a need for unity
against the scourge of war, met in San Francisco, 13 years
ago, to draw up the United Nations Charter. These nations
sought to prevent the misunderstanding and national isolation
which had led to calamity through the creation
pf an international organization of states.

At that time, five "great" powers dominat-
ed the scene: the United States, the Soviet
Union, England, France, and China. The
question which faces us today is: has the
UN played its intended role as an independent
organization to mediate differences, or, as
jSchwarzenberger in his work, "Power Poli-
m*^ AkSstics " asks, has it become just another organ
in the system of power politics which is leading us straight
toward world disaster? Many people firmly believe that the
UN is, in reality, too weak and ineffective to fulfill its purpose
and thus is a complete failure.

In questioning the success, or lack of success, of the UN
on the world scene, however, it is necessary to consider more
than just its political role in world affairs. The goal of the
UN was, and is, "to build a better world for all peoples,
through collective resistance to aggression and through
fighting hunger, disease, ignorance, and discrimination," as
well as "to do away with war."

While statesmen debate in the General Assembly and Uncle
Sam tangles with the Russian bear in the Security Council,
other agencies and commissions of the United Nations Or-
ganization work ceaselessly behind the scenes to better the
lives of thousands of unfortunates. The UN Children's Fund
provides refugee children with warm clothing, warm food,
and protection against disease. An oasis of lush green vege-
tation in the midst of desolation in Thailand marks an ex-
perimental farm established by the UN Food and Agricultural
Organization to teach Thai farmers how to get more from
their land. The World Health Organization wages a constant
battle against malaria in many parts of the world.

There have been changes in the political structure of the UN
since 1945. The membership has increased from 50 nations to
82, the newest member being the state of Ghana. Though
the fact has never been recognized by amendments to the
Charter, there are no longer five "great" powers in the
world, but two "super-powers," the United States and the
Soviet Union. The Afro-Asian bloc of newly independent
states is beginning to make its weight felt in vital decisions.
Since this group of nations is still neutral in the tug-of-war
between East and West, it may come to serve as a neutralizing
agent to the dangerous balance of power held by the West and
Russia.

The majority of prestige has swung from the once-powerful
Security Council to the General Assembly because the cele-
brated veto has rendered the council unable to fulfill its
intended functions. This swing is significant in that it
facilitates the shift in power toward the new African-Asian
nations and thus a trend away from the complete leadership
and domination by two super-powers which tends to divide
the world into contending hemispheres.

These political changes offer the hope that, in the future,
greater co-operation and understanding among states may
come through an increasing democratization of the political
structures of the United Nations. S. A. C.

'Living With Honor' Involves
Acceptance Of Personal Responsibility

By Dr. Wallace M. Alston

On Thursday of this week our new students will formally put their names to the
following pledges:

As a member of the Student Government Association of Agnes Scott College, I
consider myself bound by honor to develop and to uphold high standards of honesty and
behavior; to strive for full intellectual and moral stature; to realize my social and
academic responsibility in the community. To attain these ideals, I do therefore accept
this Honor System as my way of life.
This pledge ought never to be
treated casually nor subscribed to
perfunctorily. It is an exalted ex-
pression of faith, a serious state-
ment of intention. To accept Agnes
Scott's Honor System as one's "way
of life" demands the finest response
of which any one of us is capable.

Living together with honor, in
a program of self-government, has
^dHfe^ Deen tne " w ay of
^HPHRflk at Agnes

Scott for fifty-
;wo years. This
honor program,
Inaugurated i n
k , V j 1906 when Agnes
k^W BBHB Scott Institute
became Agnes
Scott College, has
comnbuted immeasurably to the
quality of the work that Agnes
Scott students have done, to the
reputation that the College has
achieved, and to the integrity and
freedom of the life that we enjoy
together on this campus.

History

The freedoms and the responsi-
bilities that have been entrusted to
Agnes Scott students have not
"just happened"; they have been
given by the administration and
faculty and accepted by the stu-
dents over a period of time and
through a process of gradual de-
elopment. They have become yours
as students by a contractual ar-
rangement. The notable dates in
this development are 1906 when
Student Government Association
was founded and given a grant of
power by the faculty, and 1923
when a larger grant of authority
was extended to students for self-
government. On numerous occa-
sions year by year, in fact have
come modifications and additions
to the agreement between the older
and younger associates in this col-
lege community of ours. Thus, free-
doms have been granted at Agnes
Scott as maturity has permitted
and as responsibilities have been
satisfactorily assumed.

Honor Defined

That Agnes Scott students are
persons of honor and can be trus-
ted is the basic assumption of
Agnes Scott's Honor System and
plan of self-government. Honor
is that moral quality or worth that
deserves and compels respect and
confidence. It is not marginal or
irrelevant; it is integral to whole-
ness, to unity and health of per-
sonality. It involves honest y,
square-dealing and dependability.

"Why have any regulations at all
if honor is to be the way of life at
Agnes Scott?" students sometimes
ask. I think there are two good
answers to such a question.

For one thing, an institution of
any sort must have structure.
Such structure determines the
nature, largely governs the act-
ivities, and makes possible the
health and the progress of the in-
stitution. It is reasonable to sup-
pose that since this is a college of
a certain kind, there must be some
regulations as to entrance require-
ments, standards, course offerings,
schedules, the evaluation of work,
financial obligation and even social
conduct. The elimination of under-
standings and even rules relative
to these matters would seriously
impair the very structure of the
institution.

Guidance Needed

Then, reasonable regulations are
needed in the development of self-
control and self-realization. Most
of you freely admit that you are
immature and need guidance in
living honestly and honorably.
Understandings of some kind are
required for the help they give to
growing persons. It may be neces-
sary time and time again to change
the rules, but to eliminate all or
most regulations on the ground
that we are living "on our honor"
would be thoroughly unrealistic
and impractical. If these regula-
tions were not here, you would
not rest until some were formu-
lated for you would be the ones
who would be penalized for lack
of them. Making an honor code
your way of life would be impos-
sible without some well-considered,
efficiently administered regula-
tions.

Honor In Responsibility

Living honorably necessarily
means living honorably in relation-
ship. An individualistic, isolated,
self-centered honor code is a con-

tradiction. "Honor" ceases to be
honorable, lacks moral quality,
when it refuses to accept the liabil-
ities and obligations of social living.
True community obtains when
people who trust and respect each
other are living together with
mutual concern and helpfulness
even when this involves risk and
inconvenience. Our Honor System
involves living that accepts re-
sponsibility for the welfare of
other people. This may mean
and often does that we try to
help those who violate the stan-
dards of the College, whether
through ignorance, weakness, or
deliberate intention. Responsible
living in the community is what
life expects of us, at Agnes Scott
and elsewhere.

We gain nothing by refusing to
face the facts of human inter-
relationship; the Honor System is
simply our effort to come to grips
with things as they are and to
find in each other the sympathy,
understanding and helpfulness that
make life worth the risks and the
cost.

After Seven

'South Pacifies Mary Martin
To Highlight Atlanta Weekend

By Ann Parker

"Unforgettable magic" is the best description of An Even-
ing With Mary Martin presented by the All-Star Series. As-
sisted by her own orchestra, "the first lady of the music
theatre" will sing the songs that have made theatrical history.
Selections from South Pacific, Annie Get Your Gun, One
Touch of Venus, and Peter Pan, as well as her television
spectaculars proclaim the versatility of the star who has a
song for everyone.

Besides her own splendid per-
formance, she will introduce Luiz
Bonfa, Brazilian
guitarist whom
she discovered,
and Dirk San-
ders, leading dan-
cer of the Ballet
de Paris.
v *~r h There will be
two perform an-
| ces, Saturday,
November 1, at 8:30, and Sun-
day, November 2, at 2:30. Both
will be held at the Municipal Au-
ditorium. Tickets for both per-
formances are available.

Russian Ballet
Another rare and excellent per-
formance is the film of the Bol-
shoi Ballet Thursday, October 30
enly, at the Fox Theatre. The film
was made, in color, at the Russian
group's command performance be-
fore Queen Elizabeth. Reputed to
be the best ballet group in the If
world, it is the first appearance j
of the ballet in the United States.

Starting Friday at the Fox is |
t he comedy Houseboat. Cary I
Grant, widower with three chil- f

dren, needs a housekeeper. By a
trick of fate Sophia Loren gets the
job. As expected, the two fall in
love. In spite of comic complica-
tions, the movie ends happily.
Combined Realism and Humor
Danny Kaye appears in an un-
usual role in Me and the Colonel
at the Rialto. He plays a Polish
refugee one jump ahead of the
Nazis in France.

ANNOUNCEMENT
Tlie Dean's staff urpes all
students to file two copies of
their class schedule in the Dean's
Office Immediately.

Many students wish to make
plans for Christmas holidays.
The fall quarter examination
schedule cannot be posted until
every student has fulfilled this
request.

New Books Feature
Rockefeller, Sartre

201 Clark The Psychology of
Religion. Described by the author
as u an introduction to religious ex-
perience and behavior," this very
new book offers a consistent the
ory for the place of religion in
personality. In a recently neglect
ed area of psychology, the author
relying on many sources, past and
present, applies his treatment to
religion in general and not to any
particular form of it.

191 Dewey Freedom and Cul
ture. A 1939 work by one of Am
erica's most famous philosophers
and educators, the book reviews
social principles and ideals at
time of cultural and political cri-
sis, with the main emphasis on the
problems of culture and freedom
in America.

227.1 Barth Christ and Adam
One of the great theologians of the
twentieth century examines Ro-
mans 5 in a brilliant exposition of
his central theological theme: that
Christ, rather than Adam, is the
real head of humanity, and that
He is the key to the understanding
of creation, redemption, and the
nature and destiny of man.

370.903 Rockefeller Bros. Fund
The Pursuit of Excellence. The fa-
mous "Rockefeller Report," part
of the Special Studies Project of
the Rockefeller Fund, this 50-page
booklet stresses the especially ur-
gent need for the cultivation of
talent and excellence in a free so-
ciety. The report recognizes the
difficult but necessary n^ed for
concern for the individual and for
creativity in an increasingly im-
personal, institutionalized society

843.91 Sartre The Age of Rea-
son and The Reprieve. These books,
the first fully Existentialist fiction,
are the first two of a proposed
trilogy, Roads to Freedom, por-
traying the Europe of pre-Munich
days to the war itself. The Age of
Reason has Paris for its back
ground, two days in the pre-war
period of tension, foreboding and
crises for its atmosphere, and the
search for a solution to crisis by
the hero for its theme.

The Reprieve, covering eight
days in September, 1938, as Europe
mobilized for war, reveals Sartre's
painful awareness of what it was
to be a European at that time and
bis concern for the problems of
man's freedom and responsibility
in the world.

Tunisia Challenges
Nasser Suzerainty

By Susie White

A recent international news-
making item drew the attention
of observers in a brief respite from
Far Eastern tension as the presi-
dent of Tunisia broke diplomatic
relations with the United Arab Re-
public to challenge the "myth" of
Arab unity.

In addition to satisfying some
domestic political need to rally
supporters for his regime which is
faced with criticism by Tunisian
young people who have been in-
fluenced by Nasser's propaganda
as well as Tunisian intellectuals
who resent his authoritarian tac-
tics of crushing overt criticism,
President Bourguiba voiced charges
which many Arab leaders undoubt-
edly consider relevant to their own
political situation.

Cooperation Difficult

Bourguiba has evidently decided
it is equally difficult to cooperate
with the Arab "brotherhood" as
to work against it since Nasser's
idea of brotherhood gives himself
preeminence. Four weeks ago
Bourguiba finally decided to join
the Arab League, a Cairo organ-
ization now dominated by Nasser.

Dissatisfaction was soon voiced
by Tunisian delegates because of
the attempt of "certain" Arab
countries to control the League's
meetings. However, the discontinu-
ation of diplomatic relations with
Cairo is evidently the result of
Tunisian charges that assassina-
tion attempts on the life of Bour-
guiba have been aided by Nasser's
government which has taken in the
President's chief political rival and
given him support, thus interfer-
ing with Tunisian internal politics.

Personal Overtones

However, one must not consider
the cessation of diplomatic rela-
tions a forecast of an immediate
disintegration of Nasser's League.
The quarrel has strong overtones
of the results of a personal feud
between Nasser and Bourguiba,
who is working on a federation of
Tunisia, Morocco, and Algeria
which he himself would lead.

Ridiculing the pro -Western stand
of Bourguiba by calling him a
lackey of Americans for accepting
money grants, Nasser radios also
warned that the Tunisian Presi-
dent faced the same fate as the
assassinated Premier of Iraq. Nev-
ertheless, Bourguiba's action has
caught Nasser at an awkward mo-
ment as he is quarreling with the
Sudan and reportedly regrets his
decision to unite with Syria.

Casper's Kids Plan
Last Childhood Fling

BY JANE LAW

Fall fashions may not call for
starched petticoats and organdy
aprons, but there will be an abund-
ance of them on campus Friday,
October 31. The seniors will be
casting their final glances on girl-
hood during the traditional Little
Girls' Day.

This occasion was celebrated
even before 1915, and goes hand
in hand with Investiture. The sen-
iors are invested as a class, and so
they enjoy saying good-bye to
childish ways as one united body.
Class Breakfast

Seniors will all wear little girl
styles of bows, pigtails, puffed
sleeves, and scrubbed faces. They |
and their stuffed animals and dolls
will meet in the dining room Fri-
day morning for breakfast to-
gether.

The chapel program for Little
Girls' Day will be a skit, featuring
high points in the life of the class
of 1959. The scene will open with
children rumaging through their
Mother's trunk. A very interesting
fellow will pop out to take the kids
on a journey into the freshman,
sophomore, junior, and senior years
of their mothers' lives at Agnes
Scott.

Yearly Flashbacks

The little girls will see during
the first year, their mothers' com-
ing to Scott for the first time.

Black Cat, Dr. Stukes Day, and
daisy gathering. Incidents that took
place during Junior Jaunt drives
will be re- lived during the third
year. And finally, the little girls

Social Council.

Runita McCurdy led off the eve-
ning's lesson with a short but in-
formative discussion of the funda-
mentals of the game. Following
her talk, the group was divided
into tables of four. These groups
of four were able to actively par-
ticipate in the game, while student
instructors gave them helpful tips.
Those assisting with the teaching
were Harriett Harrill, Runita Mc-
Curdy, Mary Taylor Lipscomb, and
Margaret McKelway, who had vol-
unteered to help with the instruc-
tion.

Follow-Up Session

A follow-up session will be held
in approximately two weeks, Sue
McCurdy, chairman of the Hub
CorrLmittee, announces. She urges
all those who were not able to
come for this first lesson, in addi-
tion to those who did attend, to
be sure to be there. The highlight
of the second lesson will be the
presence of Miss Llewellyn Wil-
burn, who will direct the instruc-
tion.

These bridge lessons will end
with a flourish in mid-November
when Social Council will entertain
with a bridge tournament and a
party one Saturday night. Prizes
will be given on this occasion.

The bridge lessons are sponsor-
ed by Social Council under the
leadership of its president, Anne
Dodd. Sue McCurdy, Hub Chair-
man, has worked with the Satur-
day Night Coordinators in plan-
ning this program. They are Ann
Hall, Wilma Muse, Mary Taylor
Lipscomb, and Harriett Harrill.

University, says that it is "A re-
markably effective interpretation
of the play."

inflation Reaches Campus,
Tuition To Rise Next Year

By Corky Feagin

Save your Confederate money, girls, the tuition's going
up!

When the present junior and senior classes applied and
arrived at Agnes Scott the tuition, roof, and board here
was the modest sum of $1,275. Now it is $1,475. Next year
the fee will be $1,675.

Another change has taken place
in the day student-boarder propor-
tion, which has changed the set-up
within the school: Day students,
who used to make up 40 per cent
of the enrollment, now compose
only 17 per cent of the student
body. This change has made ne-
cessary the addition of more
housemothers, night watchmen,
dormitory improvements, and the
building of new dorms.

Telephone Bill

The monthly telephone bill is
$1,000. Last year the steam plant
cost $75,000 to operate, including
the firemen and the lights. Not
counting the dietitians' salaries,
the dining room added up to $151,-
000. Wages alone down in the
laundry totaled $17,000.

Also, students in the good old
days used to pay for their year-
book, newspaper, and lab fees,
which made a mess for the busi-
ness staff of the Silhouette and
News (which ended up in not ev-
erybody getting the publications),
for Mr. Tart, and for the science
and art departments. Now includ-
ed in the tuition are lab fees, art
studio expenses, and student acti-
vities.

And now for a 25 cent deepest
sympathy card to send home to
daddy and a tip on a high paying
summer job!

While most families grumble,
some will be faced with a real
problem.

The college, however, has been
faced with problems, too. It is
hard for those concerned only with
paying their bill to realize what
the college has to deal with.
Operating; Costs

In the first place, it costs the
college $1,099,486 to operate every
year, while the receipts from the
student charges amounted to
$855,091 in 1957-58. Of course
the college gets an additional in-
come from endowment interest and
gifts, but the price of living keeps
going up.

Way back in the dark ages
(1914), the day student tuition
was, $110, while the boarder paid
$350. By 1935, it was $300 and
$700. But in 1914, a full professor
earned $1,000 a year, while the
college president earned $3,000. It
now costs as much to operate each
month as it did during the year
in 1914.

In 1935, $15,000 a month went
to the staff and faculty. Now it
is over twice as much for the
faculty alone. A retirement plan
and social security have also been
added since, which cost $22,500 a
year.

To get the type of professor
Agnes Scott wants, it is necessary
to offer salaries equivalent to
those at schools with similar scho-
lastic standards which means
Randolph-Macon, Hollins, and So-
phine Nevvcomb, which are all
more expensive schools. Our east-
ern sisters Vassar, Mount Holyoke,
and Wellesley, whom we consider
our scholastic peers, charge $1,900
to $2,500 for boarders. Of course
the eastern schools have higher
operation expenses and pay their
professors more, but they also
have a much higher endowment.
Endowment

Incidentally, Agnes Scott's en-
dowment funds total a little more
than eight million dollars, which
compares favorably with other
southern schools. However, only
the interest can be used from en-
dowments. Last year the endow-
ment funds amounted to almost
$193,000, excluding the Walters
Fund and Walters Trust Fund
whose incomes paid for Walter
Dormitory.

class team practice as November 4 approaches.

Class of 60 Tops Freshmen;
Sophs Down Seniors By Two

By Nancy Duvall

The classes of '61 and '60 came through undaunted Friday
as the sophomores defeated the seniors 3-1 and the juniors
defeated the freshmen 1-0. The sophs pushed hard at the
senior goal. Play was predominately at that end of the field.
Then Alice Cochrane scored for the sophomores.

The seniors drove down to the

sophomore goal several times, but
I were stopped be-
fore they made
very serious
threats. Bunny
Henry got the
I puck and with a
beautiful flick
I evaded the de-
I f ense and drove
I down to score.

Senior Threat

In the second half the seniors
made a threatening attack. How-
ever, this attempt failed. Betsy
Dal ton played a fast and accurate
game for the sophomores, and Ru-
nita McCurdy played an excellent
defensive game for the seniors.
Bunny, however, was brilliant as
she broke away again to go down
the field to score.

The spirited seniors didn't give
up and in the last 30 seconds Ruth
Currie hit the puck across the
goal to score for the senior.

Defensive Action

The freshmen outplayed their
sister class but couldn't gain any
points. The team went up and
down, but neither could break
through. The great part of play
was carried on by the defense.

A much improved junior team
came out the second half. They
pushed down to the frosh goal ear-
ly in the period, and Boo Florance
"ook the puck coming in from her
halfback and drove it into the
cage.

Freshman Attack

The frosh made a forced effort
to push through, but Ruth Leroy,
practically single-handed, kept the
freshmen from scoring. The fresh-
man defense, particularly Peggy
Mitchell, played a fine game.

The real thrill promises to be
next week when the two undefeat-
ed teams, juniors and sophomores,
meet.

Hey girls, wanna impress that
special fellow with how much
you know about football? It's
a cinch that you will want to
hear Coach ''Spec" Landrum,
member of the Georgia Tech
coaching staff, Wednesday,
November 5, lecture on football
appreciation.

He will speak from 5-6 in
Walters Basement and possibly
show some films. See you there!

Former Professor
Succumbs Oct. 19

Miss Catherine Torrance, chair-
man of the Classics Department
until 12 years ago, died Sunday,
October 19. Miss Torrance came to
Agnes Scott 50 years ago as the
principal of the preparatory de-
partment, which was known as the
Agnes Scott Academy.

When the Academy was abolish-
ed, she became a professor of Latin
with the college itself; later she
went to the University of Chicago,
obtained her Ph.D., and returned
to Agnes Scott. During the 1930's
Miss Torrance was the faculty
head of Lecture Association; she
was also a member of Eta Sigma
Phi and Phi Beta Kappa.

Dr. James R. McCain, president
emeritus of Agnes Scott, remem-
bers her as a "very beloved
teacher," who was always willing
to help the girls. He adds that she
was known as a very strict teacher
of prose writing in the Classics
Department.

Miss Torrance was active in civic
affaire and in her church, De-
catur Presbyterian.

includes form swimming, racing,
diving, and comic relay.

The teams have been working
under the direction of the class
managers: Martha Jane Mitchell,
Senior; Becky Evans, Junior; Anne
Broad, Sophomore; and Joyce Mc-
Quilkin, Freshman. The intermis-
sion will include a performance by

as the current sophomore and
junior classes tied for first place
last year.

Prominent Layman
To Speak in Chapel

Agnes Scott students will have
the opportunity of hearing Mr.
Phillip F. Howerton, who is Mod-
erator of the Presbyterian Church,
U.S., speak in Convocation on No-
vember 12.

Mr. Howerton is the first lay-
man to serve as Moderator since
Dr. James Ross McCain, President
Emeritus of Agnes Scott, who held
the position in 1951. Mr. Hower-
ton's father, a Presbyterian min-
ister, also served as Moderator. In
the history of the church, there
have been recorded only two in-
stances when both father and son
served their church in this position.

Active in the affairs of his local
church, Mr. Howerton serves as
an elder of the First Presbyterian
Church in Charlotte, North Caro-
lina. A graduate of Washington
and Lee, he is head of the Char-
lotte office of Connecticut Mutual,
a national insurance company. He
has the distinction of belonging to
the Million Dollar Round table of
Insurance Brokers. This group is
composed of men who have sold a
million dollars worth of insurance
during the period of one year.

Blackfriars Set Active Pace
In Rehearsals of French Play

Rehearsals for the forthcoming Nov. 21 Blackfriars produc-
tion, "The Enchanted," by Jean Giraudoux, are going well,
according to cast members, and the back-stage activity is
reportedly almost as interesting as what is taking place in
front of the footlights.

A floating bridge game has been
in progress for well over two weeks
and the actors occupy themselves
thusly in their off-stage moments.

Several faculty members will be
included in the cast. Dr. George
E. Rice and M. Pierre Thomas, of
the Agnes Scott psychology and
French departments, respectively,
will appear in the last act.

French Authenticity

Since the play is a translation
from the original French, Miss
Roberta Winter, director, selected
a Frenchman to assist her in the
analysis of the characters. Mon-
sieur Thomas, of the Agnes Scott
French department, attended re-
hearsals and has worked with the
cast in developing appropriate Gal-
lic gestures and French interpre-
tations for the characters. In ad-
dition, Miss Allen and Miss Phy-
thian, also of the French depart-
ment here, have worked with the
cast.

While the play is in rehersal,
the make-up committee is holding
meetings to plan the stage make-
up. The back-stage make-up room
is also getting a new face. A new

make-up table complete with pro-
fessional lights and mirrows has
been added, and several of the old
pieces of furniture are being bright-
ened with coats of white paint.

The background flats will be in
soft, muted tones and the abstract
idea of the play will be carried out
in the sets.

The background music for the
production will be authentic as
recordings made especially for
"The Enchanted" will be used.

Mrs. Carruth and her, stage crew
are hard at work on the expres-
sionists set which has been select-
ed for the play.

Directors, actors, advisors, and
stage crew all expressed the hope
that they will be able to present
to the Agness Scott audience
another sell-out Blackfriars pro-
duction.

"The Enchanted" will open Fall
Frolics week-end, which is being
sponsored by Social Council and
Athlectic Association. Other events
of the week-end will include a jam
session Saturday afternoon, a dance
Saturday night, and on Sunday
afternoon, a coffee.

Publication to Recognize
Collegians Across Nation

Recognizing eleven Agnes Scott seniors, President Wallace
M. Alston announced in convocation this morning the students'
names which have been submitted from Agnes Scott for
publication in the 1958-59 edition of Who's Who Among Stud-
ents in American Universities and Colleges.

Who's Who was initiated twenty

four years ago with the idea of
creating one national basis of re-
cognition for college students that
would be democratic and devoid
of dues. Students are selected on
the basis of scholarship, partici-
pation and leadership in academic
and extra-curricular activities,
citizenship and service to the
school, and the promise of future
usefulness.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, November 12, 1958

'I Can't Say No!'

There comes a time when all of us need to take a good
look at ourselves, frankly and fearlessly.

Agnes Scott ideally makes a fourfold emphasis in the life of
the student: "high intellectual attainment," "simple religious
faith," "physical well being," and "development of person-
alities with such qualities as attractive appearance, charm,
pose . . . and the avoidance of extremes."
What has happened to ideal number one?

We have four student body organizations (plus commit-
tees on committees), three publications, class offices, Lecture
Association, May Day Committee, special week committees,
orientation committees, class athletic teams, class hot dog
sales, thirteen clubs, Mortar Board, pep rallies, Hub sings,
Hub discussions, chapel, vespers, hall prayers, hockey games,
class skits for Black Cat and Junior Jaunt.

Also, we must go to lectures, use our concert series tickets,
see excellent (and required) movies on and off campus, and
attend and participate in church activities Canterbury,
Westminster, Newman Club.

Every single one of these campus activities has a good
purpose and fulfills a need. Each seems to be doing its work
well.

However, there exists a certain pressure to PARTICI-
PATE. Eventually one becomes so strung out and frustrated
that she can do nothing but lie in paralysis and moan "How
did I get into this mess!" and long for a swift death.

In addition to all these activities, we have demands in the
personal realm of the boyfriend, care of rooms, clothes, health
and beauty, shopping, mending, letters home and to friends,
and discussions and gossip with friends among the faculty
and students.

Most of us, particularly juniors and seniors who have had
a good chance to pack up and leave, are here because we like
it. The upperclassmen are supposedly majoring in fields
which have appealed to them more than twenty others offered
by the college. Moreover, they and the sophomores knew
and chose their professors when they made out their schedules.

Why then do we urge, beg, and persuade each other to
leave our studies for these other "joys of campus life." Any-
one knows that it takes at least one or two hours to prepare
properly for a class period. Most of us skim by on less than
that, often barely cracking a book from one quiz to another,
all because we have been so behind in our work that we
must drop everything else to study for each test as it comes
up or to write each paper at the last minute. How many of us
have cursed the "well rounded life" as we have crammed in
dates, theories, lines, themes in that horrible one to four
shift!

Ado Annie in "Oklahoma" ended up with a problem
through her "I can't say no " philosophy of life. What will
happen to us?

Glandular fever is not unknown here, neither are mental
breakdowns. Well known are sloppy jobs, low grades not
befitting intelligence, and frustrated students and professors.

Class and school loyalties are fine, but let's forego extremes.
Life can actually be beautiful if we can throw away the
clutter and brick-a-brack. C. F.

There Is A Time...

"Be still, and know that I am God . . ." How many of us
Scotties realize that we have an opportunity to turn aside from
our rush of weekly activities and be alone with God? This
is possible at meditation vespers, held every Sunday afternoon
from 5:00 to 5:30. Weather permitting, they
are held in the May Day Dell; otherwise,
they are held in Maclean Auditorium.

Sunday afternoon is a good time for one
to take stock of one's accomplishments dur-
ing the past week and compose oneself for
the week ahead. It is an excellent time for
one to sit down quietly by oneself and re-
attain a right perspective on life. The tests,
the meetings, and the papers fall into their
proper place with respect to the overall picture. If one is
discouraged and disheartened, mediation vespers provide a
time and a place for solitude and spiritual renewal. This is
the time to seriously think through one's problems, and
frequently their solutions become clear-cut and definite.

Can't each of us stop this Sunday afternoon and be alone
with ourselves and God for thirty minutes? We might be
surprised at how refreshed mentally and physically, as
well as spiritually we will feel. P. B.

Christian Analyzes
Modern Literature

220.6 Grant The Letter and
the Spirit. A study of the exegesis
of sacred writings, from Xeno-
phanes to Moses to Origen, the
book traces religious interpreta-
tion in a scholarly and interesting
study.

234.7 Miller The Renewal of
Man. A twentieth century essay
on faith, this book shows in vivid
highly readable contemporary
terms the doctrine of justification
by faith. Illustrating from the
works of Arthur Koestler, Graham
Greene, Robert Penn Warren and
others, the author shows how the
modern writer and analyst of our
culture is forced to raise questions
that can be met only by Christian
answers.

325.26 Redding The Lonesome
Road. Part of the "Mainstream of
America Series," this is a major
study in Negro racial history, writ-
ten by a Negro scholar in colorful,
poetic prose. It centers more on
people than on events, offering
appraisals of individuals which
provide an interesting approach to
answers to racial questions.

821.09 Langbaum The Poetry
of Experience. The author, a young
American scholar and critic, is
concerned with a new kind of poet-
ry whose beginnings he sees in
Romanticism and continuing into
our own day. Using Browning,
Tennyson, Eliot and others for ex-
amples, the author feels this "poet-
ry of experience" is best exemplifi-
ed in the dramatic monologue, the
characteristically modern genre.

882.09 Lattimore The Poetry
of Greek Tragedy. Richard Latti-
more, the excellent translator of
"The Iliad" and other classics,
makes the point in this collection
of lectures that the great trage-
dies af Aeschylus, Sophocles and
Euripides are, above all, poetic
dramas, and suggests a new way
to read these works in terms of
their impact as great poetry.

Recommended this week: The
Renewal of Man.

Internationally Speaking

ins Exit, UAR Deal
Threaten Mid-East Peace

BY SUSIE WHITE

As the last American and British troops were withdrawn
from Lebanon and Jordan, observers of the chronic Middle-
Eastern crisis settled down to watchful waiting. Al-
though an atmosphere of peace has settled over the area,
Israeli officials wonder how long it will last.

There has been concern in Israel
that the Arabs, emboldened by the
withdrawal of Western troops
might be preparing once more for
a showdown fight against Israel.

The fears of
the tiny country
are not without
due cause. The
top military com-
mander of Nas-
ser's UAR has
been on a mission
purportedly t o
arrange a big
with Soviet Russia.
Having defeated the Arabs
twice, the Israelis would be con-
fident of a third victory under ex-
isting conditions but are worried
that the Russians might build up
Nasser's forces to the point where
the Arabs could overwhelm them
by weight of military hardware
alone.

Revolution Possiblity

Moreover, Israel fears the pos-
sibility of a pro-Nasser revolution
in neighboring Jordan now that
the British forces have left. Should
King Hussein be overthrown, the
Israeli sector of Jerusalem, now
the capital, would be surrounded
by Nasser's troops who would also
be only ten miles from Tel Aviv,
Israel's biggest city. Such a pos-
sibility as this, declare Israeli

cupation by Israel of the western
bank of the Jordan River now in
Jordanian territory.

Leave

As Cairo newspapers accused
the Israelis of mobilizing troops
on the Jordanian frontier, and
Prime Minister David Gen-Gurion
reiterated that all Nasser needs
to know about Israel is that she
is opposed to any entry of foreign
troops into Jordan, King Hussein
of Jordan prepared for a European
vacation. His departure would not
leave one member of his immediate
family in the country.

The two explanations given for
his vacation include the possibility
that he is going into exile, con-
sidering his position, in Jordan
hopeless. Optimists maintain, how-
ever, that he genuinely feels that
order is restored to such an extent
that he can leave the country.
They point to the fact that Nasser
has ceased to call for his assassina-
tion and that the UAR dictator
would be reluctant to assume the
responsibility for half a million
Palestinian refugees. However, the
seeds of discontent have been
sown.

As the day of Hussein's depar-
ture approached, the Western
world awaited developments, and
the US formally called upon Nas-
ser and Ben-Gurion to make no

officials, would necesitate the oc- "rash moves."

All Star Presentation, Dramas
Compose Week's Bill of Fare

BY ANN PARKER

Scots, cowboys, and soldiers rally round to form metra-
politan entertainment featured this week.

Pomp and pagentry characterize
the All-Star presentation of Queen
Elizabeth's Massed Pipers and
Highland Dancers of the Scots
Guards, and the Grenadiers Regi-
mental Band. Held at Alexander
Memorial Coliseum Tuesday, Nov.

18, at 8:30, it
promises to be a
unique and color-
ful performance.
Tickets are avail-
able.

Western
The Big Coun-
try, a classic wes-
tern comparable
to High Noon and Shane, appears
at Loew's. Gregory Peck stars as
a Baltimore tenderfoot coming
west to marry Carroll Baker,
daughter of wealthy rancher
Charles Bickford. Peace-loving
Peck tries to prevent the relent-
less feud between ranch-owner
Jean Simmons, and her vengeful
opponent, Burl Ives. The brutal
quarrel is climaxed by a massive
battle that splashes the muted
golds and browns of the Texas
landscape a bright red.

In Love and War, starting Friday
at the Fox, portrays the eternal
struggle of man between love and
duty. Marines Jeffrey Hunter and
Robert Wagner are faced with the
uncertain future of war, and the
necessity of leaving the women i
they love. Dana Wynter, Hope
Lange, and Sheree North also
share in the emotional drama.
Conveniently near, the Decatur

Theatre presents two note-worthy

Trips to Auburn, Texas, U. Va.
Tempi Popular Prom Trotters

Scotties made trips far and near this weekend. Princeton, Auburn,
University of Missouri, University of Virginia, and the Citadel were
among the schools beckoning Agnes Scott gals.

Journeying all the way to Princeton were Joyce Seay, Martv
Lair, and Pat Holmes, while Myrtle Guy traveled to the Uni-
versity of Missouri. University of Virginia proved a big attraction
to Ann Frazer, and Jean Brennan rated Citadel first choice this
weekend.

Nancy Duvall, Lucy Cole, and Betsy Hammond participated in
the Auburn Discussion Tournament. Incidentally these lucky gals
rented a car and drove themselves right over to Auburn.

Peyton Baber had a big time at the debut of her former room-
mate, Susan Shirley. Peyton flew out to Fort Worth, Texas, for
this big occasion.
But Auburn homecoming merits the greatest recognition. These
twelve gals joined in this gala weekend: Ann Parker, Jean Salter,
Sylvia Turner, Ann Whisnant, Marilyn Barnes, Nancy Batson, Joyce
Spivey, Ethel Gilmour, Ann Middlemas, Cynthia Craig, Katherine
Davis, and Franny Elliot.

Decatur Presbyterian had their fall retreat at Camp Daniel Mor-

World traveler Felicity Evans relates her experiences in continental
schools to NEWS reporter Jean Corbett.

BY JEAN CORBETT

Felicity Evans, attractive, versatile freshman from Aberdare, Wales, is finding her first
year in the United States full of new experiences.

Felicia saw a football game for
the first time when Georgia Tech
played Tennessee. "I wasn't bored
a bit!" she exclaimed. Rush parties
were new to Felicity too, who
thinks they are a wonderful way
to meet people.

Georgia Friends

Felicity heard about Agnes Scott
through Mr. and Mrs. Robert A.
Heinsohn of Thomasville, Ga. The
Heinsohns, in Aberdare, for the
National Eisteddford Festival of
Wales, stayed in the Evans' home.
Felicity was awarded scholarships
from the Rotary Club (of which
both her father and Mr. Heinshon
are members) and Agnes Scott
College.

Next year Felicity plans to go
to London, where she will study
French, Spanish, German, and
Italian in preparation for the diplo-
matic service.

French Education

Almost every Thursday while
Felicity was attending Penhouat
Voellney, a finishing school in
Versailles, she and other girls
would catch a train to Paris, just
one half hour's ride away. Felicity
took other side trips while she was
going to school in France last
year: to Chartes, and to Fountain -
bleau, Morocco and Monte Carlo.

Felicity also studied French for
four months at Alliance Francaise
last year. During this time she
lived in the home of a French
family.

At the schools Felicity has at-
tended in the past (she also studied
at two private boarding schools in
England), dating is prohibited
and other social engagements are
limited to four every quarter.

Hobbies

Felicity lists among her hobbies
photography, dress making, swim-
ming (she won a bronze medal
for life saving), playing tennis,
riding horseback, and playing the
piano. She has traveled in Spain,
England, Ireland, and Scotland.

Felicity had to have her picture
taken with a Cherokee Indian
chief this summer, before she was
convinced there were any Indians
left in the United States. Felicity
says she is particularly impressed
with the smoothness of our high
ways and the individuality of Am
erican homes.

Scandinavian Program Offers
Opportunities For Study, Travel

This year for the tenth time, the Scandinavian Seminar
for Cultural Studies is accepting applications for its nine
months program in Denmark, Norway, or Sweden in 1959-
1960. This program is open to college graduates, college stud-
ents who wish to take their junior year abroad, and a limited
number of professional people.
Family Visits

The 1959-1960 Seminar will be-
gin tentatively on July 28, 1959,
with a farewell reception in New
York. On July 29 the group will
sail, arriving in Scandanavia Aug.
7. Upon arrival the Seminar mem-
bers will each go to one of the
three Scandinavian countries for
nine months of study and fun.

During this nine months each per-
son will live in the homes of two
different families for three to
four weeks where no English will
be spoken.

Alternating with the family
visits will be three short courses,

Critics Will Judge
Students' Auditions

Student auditions, heard by a
panel of Atlanta drama critics,
will be held here today at 5 p.m.
Approximately 48 speech students
will give auditions before a panel
which includes Walter Jensen of
Theatre Atlanta, Mary Nelle San-
tacroche, Director of Drama Tech,
and Joyce Seckman and Percy
Herle of WAGA.

This is the third in a series of
reading hours organized and dir-
ected by Miss Roberta Winter and
Mrs. Charles Carruth of the Agnes
Scott English department.

For these 'auditions', speech
students will read one of four pieces
of copy furnished by WAGA, per-
taining to various public service
organizations. They will be judged
for appearance, diction, voice qu-
ality, characterization, poise, and
general suitability for television,
radio and stage.

each a week long. These will be
held in each of the three countries
for all of the Seminar students
in that country. Two other similar
short courses for all of the Semi-
nar students will be a New Year's
course in Norway and an evalua-
tion session at the close of the
Seminar in Denmark. The short
courses provide an opportunity for
formal study of the language of
each country and Scandinavian
history, art, literature, contem-
porary socio-political problems and
visits to cultural centers.

The Folkehojskole
An important feature of the
Scandinavian Seminar is the resi-
dence at a Scandinavian college
or folkehojskole. Each Seminar
member is a student at one of the
three hundred Scandinavian folk-
ehojskole for six months. The
folkehojskole is not actually col-
lege as we experience it. There are
no special educational prerequisi-
tes; young adults from eighteen to
twenty-five who have been work-

Sophs Lead Hockey Race;
Freshmen Win Swim Meet

BY SYLVIA SAXON

Hi again, fans! Well, the hockey
race is at the two-thirds mark and
unless something drastic happens,
it appears the sophomores have
clinched the title. Even if they lose
their two remaining games and the
juniors win both of theirs, the
sophomores are assured of at least
a tie. At any rate it will prove in-
teresting to see what will develop.

I rate both games Friday as toss-
ups. Unless the juniors can pick
themselves up out of the doldrums,
the up-and-coming frosh just may
bury the hatchet IN their sister
class! The seniors gave storm
warnings that they are riding low
for this big one. Only time will tell.
Senior Victory
Last Friday the seniors soundly
whipped the juniors 1-0. Seniors
Muller, Currie,
land Hammond
Ihounded the jun-
ior defense con-
t stantly, while the
senior defenses,
led by Davis,
Forrest, and
Weber, raided
junior defenses
time and again. The juniors made
only one serious advance, that in
the opening minutes of the game.
The junior defense, led by Leroy,
Tobey, Specht, and John, was the
only bright spot in an otherwise
gloomy day for the blue and white
team.

The sophomores mercilessly
pounded the freshman goal to the
tune of 4-0. Alice Cochrane per-
sonally accounted for two and Dal-
ton and Henry scored one each.
Great teamwork for the sophs led
them to their fourth straight vic-
tory.

The frosh shone spasmodically
and played very well, but the big
yellow team grossly outclassed
them. Mitchell, Hershberger, Bos-
well, and Askew were particularly
good for the frosh, but all dis-
played improved teamwork. For
the sophs, Dalton, Cochrane, and
Henry were the "Terror Triplets"
as they constantly plagued the
frosh defense.

Swimming: Meet

In the swimming meet Novem-
ber 5, the frosh won going away
with 34 points; in second were the

sophs with 26; in third, juniors
with 21, and lan, the seniors with
9 points. Joyce McQuilkin, one of
the most versatile swimmers
around, displayed beautiful form in
the first and last events and com-
pletely outraced the competition
in the individual medley.

Ann Broad, sophomore, perform-
ed several difficult dives in good
form to win the diving event for
her class. For the fourth time, the
seniors won the comic relay. Dur-
ing intermission, Ruth Currie and
Marion Walton, senior members of
Dolphin Club, did a duet to "Star-
dust."

That's about all for this week.
Duvy will be around with you next
week, so 'till next time, come on
down to the games. This hockey
race is not over yet!

Church Moderator
Addresses Chapel

In convocation this morning the
Agnes Scott student body and fac-
ulty heard Mr. Phillip F. Hower-
ton, Moderator of the Presbyterian
Church, United States, speak on
the subject, "The Elder Unto the
Elect Lady."

Mr. Howerton is the first lay-
man to serve as Moderator since
Dr. James Ross McCain, President
Emeritus of Agnes Scott, who held
the position in 1951. Mr. Hower-
ton's father, a Presbyterian minis-
ter, also served as Moderator.

Active in the local as well as the
national church he is an elder of
the First Presbyterian Church in
Charlotte, North Carolina. He was
educated at Washington and Lee
University and is now a General
Agent for the Connecticut Life
Insurance Company in Charlotte.

Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Alston en-
tertained Mr. Howerton today at
noon with a luncheon given in his
honor in the President's Room of
Letitia Pate Evans Dining Hall.
Between twenty-five and thirty
prominent Presbyterian ministers
and their wives were invited.

WSB, Journal' Lend Men
To Large 'Enchanted' Cast

BY SUZANNE MANGES

The cast of Blackfmirs' forthcoming production, "The
Enchanted," is unique for an Agnes Scott play in that it con-
sists chiefly of men, with nine of the nineteen roles being
created by male 'actors. Miss Winter has recruited her players
from the ranks of Atlanta professional men whose vocations
range from that of a lawyer to an interior decorator. The in-
clusion of two Englishmen will lead a consmopolitan air to
the cast.

Playing the role of the Mayor
will be Fred Hartley, business ed-
itor of the Atlanta Journal and a
graduate of Rollins College and
Emory University. Fred who sings
in the choir of Holy Trinity Epis-
copal Church, says that acting is
his hobby, his "suppressed desire,"
and his role in this play will be his
Atlanta debut.

Native Englishman
Creating the role of the Doctor
will be Mr. Henry Begg. Agnes
Scott audiences will remember him
for his roles in "The Chalk Gar-
den" and "The World We Live
In." Mr. Begg, an Englishmen, is
now living in Decatur and he came
to be affiliated with the Scott
dramatics group when Miss Winter
was in search of an actor with an
English accent to play the part
of the Judge in "The Chalk Gar-
den."

The part of the Inspector will
be played by James Loring, an
Atlanta attorney. This is Mr. Lor-
ing's second appearance at Agnes
Scott, his first being the role of
Mr. Collins in "Pride and Pre-
judice" which he did here several
years ago.

Broadway Offers

A veteran of radio, TV, and film
work, he has worked with several
off-Broadway groups at various
times in his career. He was one of
the founders of the Atlanta Civic
Theatre and he appeared last year
as Grandpa Pennypacker in The-
atre Atlanta's opening production,
"The Remarkable Mr. Pcnnvpack-

Because of a striking resemb-
lance to the late Teddy Roosevelt.
Mr. Loring has appeared as the
former president in several roles.
His most recent characterization
of Roosevelt was in Roswell, Geor-
gia at the town's ceremonies com-
memorating the fifty-third anni-
versary of Roosevelt's visit to Ros-
well. his mother's birthplace.

The radio and television stations
of WSB will be well represented
in the cast, for a WSB announce:
will take the part of the Ghost
and a WSB-1V announcer and
Sports Director will create the
role of the Supervisor. The Ghost,
Dick McMichael, is a disc jockey
and announcer at WSB, and he is
a former classmate of Mrs. Car-
ruth. He and Mrs. Carruth ap-
peared together in several Mer-
cer College productions, one of
which Dick himself wrote. .His
most recent stage appearance was
in Columbus, Geo gia where he
acted the role of Don Juan in
Shaw's "Man and Superman."

Phil Davis, the Supervisor, is in-
terested in acting chiefly because
it helps him in his television work.
He has acted with Little Theatre
groups m various places and this
will be his first Atlanta appear-
ance.

The cast includes two Execu-

Scholar To Appear
As Greek Lecturer

Dr. Gertrude Smith, Chairman
of the Department of Classical
Languages and Literature at the
University of Chicago, will appear,
at Agnes Scott, as a University
Center lecturer, this evening at
8:00. She is a distinguished schol-
ar of Greek law and the author of
two books on this subject, The
Administration of Justice from
Hesiod to Solon and The Admin-
istration of Justice from Homer
to Aristotle.

A native of Peoria, Illinois, Pro-
fessor Smith studied at Bradley
College and t h e University of
Chicago. She received her A. B.,
A. M., and PH. D. degrees from
Chicago, and while a student there
she studied under the well known
Greek scholars, Paul Storey and
Robert J. Bonner. In 1921 she
joined the University of Chicago
faculty as an instructor, and in
1936 she was made Chairman of
the Department of Greek, which
later became the Department of
Classical Languages and Liter-
ature.

On Location in Athens

In recent years she has been
very active in the affairs of the
American School of Classical
Studies in Athens, Greece. During
this past summer she was Dir-
ector of the Summer Session of the
School. At this time she also visit-
ed the major Greek excavations
and made a study of the implic-
ations of the new discoveries in
relation to our. understanding of
ancient history. Her lectures will
include portions of the information
gained from her studies of these
excavations.

Dr. Smith will speak this evening
in MacLean Auditorium on "The
Role of Greek Tragedy in Ancient
Athenian Life." She will speak
also at Emory and Georgia State.
Her lecture at Emory will be
given at 4:30 on the subject,
"Primitive Religion and Archaic
Greek Law." On Thursday she
will speak at Georgia State at
8:00 p.m. on "The New Excavations
and Greek History."

The public is invited to attend
these lectures.

Male actors Dick McMichael and English Henry Begg add
finishing touches at dress rehearsal of Blackfriars' fall production
"The Enchanted." The play will he presented at 8:00 in Gaines
Chapel as part of Fall Frolics Weekend.

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, November 19, 1958

Speaker Warns Us

Several weeks ago we were jolted out of our usual com-
l lacency by a very dynamic and pointed talk on Communism,
especially as it effects students in the United States.

. The speaker, a medical missionary to China

before the Red regime moved in, and now
continuing his work in Japan, became suf-
ficiently alarmed to request special leave
from his work several months ago. He and
his wife are traveling about the States now,
in an effort to make their countrymen aware
of the imminent danger confronting us.
What particularly struck us was his
warning that we Americans are totally
oblivious to what goes on under our very noses. With no
more McCarthy's on the scene, and hearing little about
un-American activities, or subversive movements today,
we have lulled ourselves into believing that we have
stamped out the germs of Communism here in our coun-
try. That, said the speaker, is the ideal situation in which
Communism works most effectively.
Most frightening was his testimony that here, as in Asia,
Communism is literally the religion of the youth, the ideology
of the student. It is through the young people of the world
that Marxism is gaining its stronghold.

We tend to shrug our shoulders, laugh, and joke: "Hey,
Comrade. Cell meeting tonight." Certainly, in our college
it seems rediculous to consider such a matter. And yet we
question seriously whether we Agnes Scott students are not
too complacent about our seemingly secure position; whether
we are not often foolishly blind to dangers from other
sources that would threaten our freedom.

Are we being alarmists, or is there real need for concern?
C. D.

Chapel Lacks Respect

Visiting convocation speakers would wonder where in
the world they were if they looked closely out in the audi-
ence. There is evidence that it may be a study hall or
maybe even a convention of knitters. The decorum of the
studen.s as they enter chapel would also make one wonder.
There is shouting, talking, and laughing till the last notes
of unheard music are played.

Our chapel conduct really makes one think
where all this maturity and freedom of
choosing the right thing to do is. We heard
about maturity and freedom all during
Honor Emphasis week but where is it prac-
ticed? Granted, a large percentage of the
student body does have respect for chapel
and tries to pay attention to the speaker
whether he is interesting or not. But the
sound of turning pages, dropped knitting
needles, and the sight of uninterested students over-shadow
the good behavior of others.

There is something sad about this chapel conduct other
than it is just being rude to the speaker. The people who
study or do not seem attentive in chapel are the very ones
who never come to chapel except on Wednesday the only
time when they could feel a sense of unity in our college
community. Consequently they never have this feeling. They
don't know and don't care what is going on.

This problem is acute. Something must be done. The ques-
tion is: in chapel do we want to be watched and scolded by
the faculty as grammar school kiddies or do we want to be
responsible for our own actions as mature college women?

'Matchmaker Plays Decatur;

Jean Simmons stars as a recently released inmate of a

cluded in the program will be
one of Mozart's symphonies.

This could perhaps be entitled my state of the union letter
to you during fall quarter. There are several things on my
mind and this is presently the best direct channel I have
to reach all of you.

It is hard to believe there are
only two and one half short weeks
of classes before exams hit us and
fall quarter, 195S, is over. In look-
ing at this brief span of time, it
is good to take stock of ourselves
and consider vvheie we are now

as individuals and as a student
body.

This is being a very busy quar-
ter. I challenge us to ask a few
whys in all this business. It may
scare us to death when w r e don't
get ready answers, but it's neces-
sary.

This must be done individually,
and it must be done for us as a
student body. I will mention a few
areas of concern here. Although
it has been three weeks since our
week of Honor Emphasis, I would
like to share with you some of my
own feelings about this time we
spent in evaluation.

Those who helped to plan the
activities of the week were grati-
fied at your response but as
always they were sorry to miss
those of you who did not parti-
cipate. They were concerned with
the tendency toward idealism and
naivity or lack of real thinking
which was evident at times. They
were encouraged with your hon-
esty and were glad that we delv-
ed into the immediate areas of ap-
plication.

Just because this week is over
and we do not formally dis-
cuss our Honor System again
this year, let us not fall into
apathetic unconcern or Indiffer-
ence about its place in our ev-
eryday lives.
Let us remember that it takes
unselfish willingness to be a part
of a corporation, a house-hold of
corporate beings. We are not au-
tonomous individuals, and al-
though we would preserve and
cherish our individuality we must
not do it at the cost of our agree-
ment with the group to which we
have pledged ourselves members.

In line with this I would like to
answer a question raised in one
of the Honor Week discussions:
how far should one go in talking
with a friend about an infraction
y a rule? We have said use older
people to help you if you badly
need them, use exec members un-
officially for advice and work pati-
ently and quietly with the girl

always giving her the benefit
of voluntarily turning herself in
to her house president or some-
one else.

There seems to be concern over
one's right or responsibility to
urge a girl to turn herself in for
drinking, for example, when drink-
ing is one of the violations listed
in the handbook with a possible
penalty of expulsion. This is an
area which I feel needs to be
cleared up. The criteria for de-
ciding to face up to one's mistakes
or infractions should not be the
degree of the penalty involved,
but there is certainly no point in
students making false assumptions
because the facts are not known.

Expulsion is not the necessary
or automatic penalty in a drinking
case. In the constitution of the
Student Government Association,
the judicial body is given the
ri^ht to expel a violator for drink-
ing, but as in all cases, the girl's
attitude is strongly considered,
as are the circumstances, the

number of violations, the value
of any number of proposed pen-
alties for the girl.

We have given one another a
lot of new freedom this year.
There is always a danger per-
haps in too much freedom if
we are not protective of that
which we have. We must show
that we are ready to accept and
respond to new freedom by
positively accepting and re-
sponding to the freedom which
we do have.
There -have been cases for con-
cern in some of our dorms about
the noise since we voted to put
our dormitory rules with call
down penalties under a set of
dormitory standards based on con-
sideration. For goodness sake, let
us not let one another down by
having all semblance of order and
quiet disintegrate in the one
place we should be able to find
peace and respect.

The discussion about the Hub
being opened or remaining closed
during the chapel hour was the
result of an attempt to keep the
Hub closed during that time
to enforce the statement as it
now stands. Here was (and is) the
question, why enforce it? Do we
feel strongly that it should be
closed? Unless there are valid
reasons which fit into the context
of our whole approach to things,
should we keep those who would
choose to be in the Hub at that
time out? We would not open
the Hub simply because we can't
keep people out now, nor would
we open it to cater to those who
are disregarding the Closed sign.
That is a false approach to a prob-
lem.

With the new privileges which
were given to the sophomore and
fresihmen classes last night comes
added responsibility to each of us.
The freshmen must guard their
privileges; they have earned
them, but they must keep their
right to have them by using them
with discretion and good judg-
ment.

The upperclassmen too must
continue to interpret and think
through the rules and the privi-
leges and their place in our
lives on and off campus.

As I bring this lengthy epistle
to a close I want to thank you
for your co-operation and support
this year. It is a life-experience
to work with and for you, and I
sincerely renew my pledge to you
as your president to guide us as
best I can. Those you have chosen
with whom I am working directly
are as fine a group as we could
ask for, and they are working
long and hard to make this anoth-
er good year for our student body
n its relationship to student gov-
ernment. (Exec has been glad to
have so many of you at our meet-
ings.)

Good luck on these last tests
and papers and have a good

holiday.

Signed,

Lila McGeachy

Dear Madame Editor,

We were amazed at the pre-
sumtuous claims set forth in this
column last week. According to
the standard of length of resi-
dence, and under the circum-
stances that seems to be the only
kind of standard, almost every
one knows that Micky Harn is
the OLI (oldest living inhabitant)
and Dean of the canine conting-
ent at Agnes Scott.

Micky came to The Sheltering
Amis in the fall of 1940 and has
served with distinction in many
capacities until the present. She
has always been a gay, charm-
ing, and sociable little dog. She
has the instincts of a real lady;
she never attacks dogs smaller
than she and shows a real protec-
tive attitude even towards kit-
tens. Furthermore, she is bearing
the infirmities of old age with
courage and fortitude. I think you
will find that Micky is a favorite
with both people and other dogs.
Micky is a true representative of
The Liberal Tradition.

As for Stormy Calder, she did
not arrive on campus until the
fall of 1947 only a year be-
fore one of the so-called impos-
tors, Maggie Glick,

We hope that you can publish
this letter and correct any false
impressions which exist on the
campus.

Sincerely yours,
M. Kathryn Glick

East Germany To Control Land,
Air, Canal Lines, Says Premier

BY SUSIE WHITE

Last week trouble flared again between Bast and West
Berlin as East German Premier Otto Grotewohl intimated
the possibility of the withdrawal of Soviet troops, leaving
the East German government Russia's four-power functions.

Grotewohl based his announce-

ment on a speech made by Khru-
shchev in which he declared that
the Soviets are drafting a new
Berlin policy whereby they will
transfer to East Germany their,
four-power functions which in-
clude control of air, land, and canal
lifelines to the West.

Moreover, Khrushchev threat-
ened to annul the Potsdam agree-
ments by which Germany was div-
ided into four zones of occupation,
respectively allotted to the Rus-
sians, British, French, and Ameri-
cans. Again he called for the with-
drawal of American troops and
questioned the continued use of
air space over the Soviet zone, in
which Berlin is situated.

The East German premier voic-
ed his assumption that the Soviet
proposal would
I open the way for
negotiaitions to
| remove the Sovi-
et troops if the
Western Allies
would do like-
wise. However,
the State Depart-
ment has an-
nounced that the occupation of
Berlin was made valid by the de-

feat of the Nazi regime, not the
Potsdam agreements, and showed
no intention of withdrawing its
support from the West German
government.

West German officials said that
the action was a move to help the
Communists in the forthcoming
Berlin elections. On the other hand
Western diplomats interpret it as
another, attempt to force the Uni-
ted States' recognition of the East
German government.

Tension mounted as demonstra-
tions were held in both sectors of
the city. Fears were voiced in West
Germany that there would be a
recurrence of the 1948-1949 block-
ade which the Allies helped defeat
by Operation Air-lift. East Ger-
man students declared that the
Americans would not stand firm
in their support of the western
sector.

However, the removal of Soviet
troops remains only a remote pos-
sibility definitely not a probabili-
ty. Indeed it remains to be seen
whether the Soviet Union will com-
pletely turn her jurisdictional pow-
ers over, to the East German gov-
ernment. Moreover, the United
States has reiterated its support
of the West German government
and has declared its intention not
to recognize the East German gov-
ernment until it admits its posi-
tion as an agency of the Soviet

Freshmen Gain New
Dating Privileges

In a joint house meeting of the
freshman and sophomore classes
last night, student government
president Lila McGeachy announc-
ed extended dating privileges ac-
corded to underclassmen which
are to go into effect immediately.

For the first time at Agnes
Scott, freshmen may single date
in cars before afternoon time
limit in the Decatur and Atlanta
area, provided they sign out and
in at the Dean's office. In addi-
tion, freshmen may single date
when walking into Decatur at
night to the movies, to church,
to the Campus Grill, and to Wat-
son's Drug Store before late time
limit.

Additional Privileges

Freshmen also have been
granted the previous fall privilege
to double date with any Agnes
Scott student, including members
of their own class. When dating
with classmates, freshmen are al-
lowed extended time limits up to
1:30 for any activities within the
Atlanta area. For functions and
planned parties extending beyond
this time, or for functions outside
the Atlanta area, freshmen are
required to date with approved
sophomores, juniors or seniors.

Sophomores may now file their
own slips in the Dean's office for
social engagements except in the
case of over-night visits, engage-
ments involving permission after
1:30, out-of-town trips, and in-
dividual picnics. They must dou-
ble-date after 1:30.

Three Social Engagements

Somphomores may have three
social engagements a week to be
used at their own discretion, with
the privilege of borrowing one so-
cial engagement per week.

Union

Although once again a battle of
nerves is being waged as a result
of German disunity, Khrushchev
has warned East Germans that
the new policy will come as a re-
sult of negotiations with the West-
em Allies, not force.

June Review

Another occasion which calls
for Marcia's presence is the an-

Chaplains' Corps which will be
held in June. General Tobey will
review the troops, and Mrs. Tob-

Her father's being in the army
has influenced Marcia's social
life. Christmas, 1956, as daughter
of a general, Marcia made her
debut among armed force friends.
She is a hostess of the Army-
Navy-Air Force Cotillion of Wash-
ington.

Marcia is closely involved in
army life during the summer. Last
summer, while she was in Europe
with Kay Fuller, Lil Hart, and
Jane Norman, she visited many
areas courtesy of the Chaplain's
Corps.

Previous to last summer, Mar-
cia has worked for the govern-
ment during her vacation. In 1957
she was an auditor in the Penta-
gon for the Adjutant General un-
der the Commander General of
Corps, General Richardson. She
now has career status with Civil
Service, and upon graduation from
Agnes Scott hopes to work with
the Civilian Intelligence Agency.

Six Students Attend
Chicago Convention

The Conrad Hilton Hotel in Chic-
ago was the scene of the Associ-
ated Collegiate Press Convention
November 13-15 where six students
represented Agnes Scott publica-
tions.

Leaving by plane Wednesday
night, Nov. 12, were Corky Feagin
and Lil Hart from the Agnes Scott
News; Carolyn West, Dian Smith,
and Sara Lu Persinger from the
Silhouette; and Martha McCoy
from Aurora.

More than nine hundred students
from all over the United States
attended the convention. Special
features of the convention in-
cluded short courses in photo-
graphy, magazine and newspaper
writing, and panel discussions.

Also, there was an advertising
clinic and a special course for
business managers. Another special
feature was the "Learn from a
Pro Series" which included instruc-
tion by professionals in publication
work in Chicago. Opportunity was
provided also for convention dele-
gates to do sight-seeing in the
"Windy City."

Sophs Cinch Hockey Laurels;
Seniors Wage Battle To Place

BY NANCY DUVALL

With one more game to go, the hockey championship is
in the hands of the sophomore class. The last games on
Friday will, however, determine second and third places.

Presently the juniors are in '

second place. If the juniors lose
their game and the seniors win
theirs, the two classes will be
tied for second place. This could
happen, especially since this was
f he outcome on
;he first go
-ourd. Only Fri-
lay will tell.

This situation
vas brought a-
ont as the re-
nt of last Fri-
lly's victories:
he sophs 1-0 ov-
er the seniors, and the juniors 4-1
over the freshmen.

Soph-Senior Game
In the first gime the sopho-
mores scored fiirly early, but
then had to fight desperately hard
to prevent the ^niors from scor-
ing. This lone gcal was scored af-
ter the sophomcres spent a while
at the senior g*al taking corners.
Betsy Dalton whisked the ball
through.

Seniors Runta McCurdy, Ruth
Currie, and Kay Weber gave the
class of '61 a; lot of trouble with
their excellent defense and their
initiative in starting attacks.
Late in the game the seniors
presented an extremely serious
threat.

Sophomore Defense

However, the sophomores de-
fended themselves well. Trish
Walker started a (rive down the
sidelines, but the seniors regain-
ed the ball. Nei^er side could
score.

Frosh-Junior Tangle

In a somewhat slow but excit-
ing game the juniors gained an
impressive 4-1 victory over the
Freshmen. The game was slowed
down by the many penalties and
the times players flew by, com
pletely missing the ball. The ex-
citement came with the five scor
ing occasions and the dangerous
freshmen advances on the junioi
goal.

Freshman Goal

The juniors gained an advan-
tage as Janice Bowman scored
twice and Wilma Muse once to
give their class a relatively safe
margin. But the freshmen went
wild with excitement as Ann
Hershberger made the first fresh
man point.

Throughout the second half the
frosh frightened their sister class
with break-away plays. The junior
defense wasn't up to par, with
the exception of Ruth Leroy who
played her usual brilliant game.
By some sort of magic or luck
the juniors kept the freshmen from
scoring again. Meanwhile Sylvia
Saxon pushed through the fourth
junior point to bring the total to
4-1.

SENATOR FULBRIGHT

Bamforth Will Visit
To Observe College

Miss Winifred Bamforth, who
is in the United States as a rep-
resentative of the British summer
school program, will visit the Ag-
nes Scott campus on December 16.
Her. visit will be an informal one
since it does not include any talks
on the summer school program,
and it will mainly give her an op-
portunity to observe another Am-
erican college in operation.

Summer School

The summer school program
which Miss Bamforth represents
involves the University of Bir-
mingham, the University of Lon-
don, the University of Oxford, and
four Scottish universities whose
programs will be combined into a
course at the University of Edin-
burgh. These courses, which are
open to a limited number of stu-
dents, are designed for graduates
and undergraduates in their last
two years at a university.

The five six-week courses to be
offered include Shakespeare and
Elizabethan Drama, literature, art
and social change in nineteenth-
century England, English law and
jurisprudence, a history of Eng-
land from 1870 to the present, and
the European inheritance.

International Study

Although two-thirds of the stu-
dents are from America, one of
the outstanding features of these
summer schools is the opportunity
to live in a university community
with students of many nationali-
ties.

Additional information about the
program may be obtained from
Dean Kline.

South Finds Hope

With the recent publication of the Atlanta Ministers' Mani-
festo, and of the similar statement by Emory faculty members,
the nation has received a very inspiring and hopeful expres-
sion of Southern attitudes toward this question of integration.

For the citizens of this country, the inspira-
tion and hope lie in the fact that intelligent
and thinking people, personally involved, are
actually aware of the situation, and are will-
ing to commit themselves to a public declara-
tion of their concern.

It is heartening to us as students to see the
leaders of our Southland express themselves
openly and fearlessly in a united policy. And
especially because we know from our own
experience with students from other sections of the country
that we in the South are considered undemocratic, prejudiced,
and unwilling "to progress."

We college women, as members of a special social, economic,
and educational group to which we are privileged to belong,
need to realize the important fact that we will be among the
future leaders of our South. We cannot sit complacently by,
waiting for the politicians "to work things out" for us. Right
now, we are pretty well removed from the situation. But in
a few short years we will have to face up to our responsibilities
as citizens who are highly privileged.

It is now that we must consider fairly, judge impartially,
and come to some positive decision about this matter of in-
tegration that satisfies us personally. Finally, then, we need
to commit ourselves to our decision and to have the courage
to express it, though it may or may not be in accord with
popular feeling. C. D.

It's Bluebook Time!

Signs of these times are little blue books and studious stud-
ents. That week is here again. In the bookstore, Ces is begin-
ning to sell exam books, pencils, and peppermint sticks (for
energy) right and left.

Folks are busy figuring out where they will ever find the
time to study adequately for the fast-ap-
proaching examinations when the day has
only 24 hours and the three hardest ones come
in the first three days. Naturally, some of us
who are well-equipped with psychology es-
cape mechanisms have managed to repress
the awesome thought of examinations ahead
and are busy packing.

Despite its rigors, exam week can be one
of the best times of the school year. There
are exam teas replete with cookies and coffee or tea, which
the members of the Dean's Office staff give for the refresh-
ment of those who have just come through an exam, or those
who have been buried in the library all afternoon or those
who enjoy a spot of tea in the mid-afternoon.

Too, during exam week one seems to have more time for
Christmas shopping in Atlanta. Sunday night, December 14,
the campus community will get together for a Christmas
party. And then there are those delightful, examless morn-
ings when one can sleep. Considering both sides of the story,
it would appear that exam week is not at all the bugbear it
seems to be. S. A. C.

Letter To The Editor

Director Explains Dance;
CA Expresses Concern

Dear Editor:

The story of the Nativity, by its very nature, needs no em-
bellishment to be moving and beautiful. Yet for centuries
artists in all media have been attracted to- this story, and
have interpreted it in their own ways. Many of the world's
most beautiful works of painting and music have been based
on the Christmas theme.

Historically, of all the arts,
dancing is the most ancient, and
had its origins in religious ex-
pression. The Dance Group pre-
sentation of the Christmas Story
on December 5 arises from my
belief that the dance of today
can and should be a rewarding
factor in the religions experi-
ence not merely pleasing to
the senses, but an active force
in the spiritual perception of
religious ideas. I would like in
the following paragraphs to ex-
plain tliis belief.

If man were not capable of ex-
periencing emotion, he would not
have felt the need for religion.
When primitive man saw an erupt-
ing volcano, he first had to sense
fear arid awe before he called the
volcano a god. A dog may look at
the sun and merely be aware of
its warmth, but the human being,
looking at the same sun, comes
up with anything from Apollo to
the hydrogen-helium solar reac-
tions. It is this primary emotional
perception that leads man to ask
why. If man were not moved by
what he saw he would not feel
compelled to try to interpret it
whether by art, religion, philo-
sophy or science.

Joy, anger, wonder, fear, sor-
row, reverence . . . whenever an
emotion is deeply felt, it manifests
itself not only in the mind, but in
the human body, through move-
ment. These gestures and poses
are instinctive, involuntary, and
universal. The human being feels
with his body as much as his
mind. It is this basic instinct, com-
mon to all men at all times, that
the dancer uses as the basis of his
art, giving it form and technique.

In earliest times, dancing was
an integral part of religious ex-
pression, and indeed, was included
in the early Christian services.
But, as the human body became
equated with sin, dancing moved
out of the Church, and remained
secularized. Today, however, we
realize that the body as used in
modern dance is merely an artis-
tic medium as abstract as paint
or stone upon which the artist
imposes form and organization.

There is nothing "good" or "bad"
about the raw material of dancing,
the body, any more than a lump
of clay in the sculptor's hands is
"good" or "bad". In both cases,
the value or worth depend on
what is done with them, except
that the dancer has two advant-
ages. The first is that the human
body, unlike a lump of clay, is in-
trinsically expressive (else why
would painting and sculpture use
the human form so extensively?).
And second: the human body is
dynamic; it moves continually
both in time and space.

We all know that we can guess
at a person's emotional state just
by looking at the way he holds
his body. Also, we know that a
story can be told in movement,
without any use of words, and be
perfectly clear. These are things
that anyone can do, not merely
dancers. What an amazing poten-

body possess, even before it is
molded into a conscious art form.
What lump of clay can claim
that? Almost anyone, too, can
play chopsticks on the piano,
based as it is on the same tonal
system that comprises a Beetho-
ven symphony.

Proportionate to the discre-
pency between these two works
is the difference between a well
constructed dance and the every-
day use of the body in motion.
Modern dance, in addition to a
partly heightened ability to pro-
ject emotions and narrative, is
capable of a vast range of subtle
interpretation, which is almost
without limit in the whole of hu-
man experience. No concept is so
vast, no shading so complex, that
modern dance will not essay it.

The ultimate goal of the dance
is to convey to the mind directly
those things of the mind and
spirit that are all the more strik-
ingly projected because they are
perceived through the human
form. For however abstractly in-
fused with the content of an art,
the human body, because it is the
form that clothes our very exist-
ence, because it is in itself effec-
tive and moving, communicates to
us through the most basic empa-
thy.

Just as the first stirring of
man's spirit gave rise jointly and
inseparably to both primitive re-
ligion and primitive dance, is this
relationship any less valid today
because our religion is both more
spiritual and more complex? The
dance of today, involving as it
does the soul and the intellect of
man, as well as his sense; and ori-
ginating today, as in the first dawn
of history, as the most basic and
instinctive means of expressing
and communicating man's deepest
emotions, seems to me to be emi-
nently suited as a form of religious
worship.

I look forward to the day when
the dance re-enters the Church
to take its place beside the arts of
music, sculpture, architecture -md
the poetry of prayer, for the great-
er fulfillment of the highest as-
pirations of man's soul.

Dear Editor:

Out of 600 students, only 200
have pledged in support of Chris-
tian Association's budget. CA's
budget is wholely supported by
pledges from the student body
and receives no funds fron the
college. Members of CA cabinet
are concerned over the fact that
the pledges given do not represent

231, Shinn Life, Death and
Destiny. This 94-page book, writ-
ten by the Professor of Theology
at Vanderbilt University Divinity
School, deals intelligently yet mod-
estly with the ultimate questions
which constantly confront think-
ing men, whether Christian or not:
life, death, freedom, eternity.

341.4, Stipp Devil's Diary.
Based on the State Department's
publication, Nazi Conspiracy and
Aggression, used at the Nurem-
berg trials, this book presents cap-
tured documentary material which
demonstrates, in the Nazis' own
words, Hitler's plan for European
conquests. From a 1937 confer-
ence where Hitler outlined his
"timetable of aggression," the rec-
ord covers his "lightning war"
through Eastern Europe to France,
concluding with the invasion of
Russia.

823.09, O'Faolain The Vanish-
ing Hero. A study of novelists of
the '20's, this is a penetrating
analysis of eight contemporary
novelists, both widely respected
and widely read. These essays,
written by one of Ireland's fore-
most authors, assert that to under-
stand a work of art it is necessary
to understand the author. The
works of Joyce, Hemingway,
Faulkner, Aldous Huxley,, Graham
Greene, Virginia Woolf, Evelyn
Waugh, and Elizabeth Bowen are
discussed.

943.085, Rauschning The Voice
of Destruction. Written by a con-
fidant of Hitler's and member of
National Socialist inner circles
from 1932 to 1935, this book re-
ports actual conversations with
Hitler and his henchmen of the
Nazi hierarchy during the early
years of his regime in Germany.
With this striking and fascinating
portrait of a manic depressive and
master politician are "undress"
glimpses of Goering, Goebbels and
Himmler.

Service To Provide
Facts About Festival

(Editor's Note: In view of our
recent editorial expressing concern
about Communistic activity among
students in the United States, we
were especially interested to re-
ceive this press release from
Harvard students last week.)

A group of students and recent
university graduates have announc-
ed the establishment in Cambridge,
Massachusetts, of the Independent
Service for Information on the
Vienna Youth Festival.

The purpose of the Service is to
provide the American student and
youth community with comprehen-
sive and objective data regarding
tfte Communist - sponsored! VTI
World Youth Festival.

The Festival, to be held in
Vienna next summer, is the latest
in a series of mass youth events
organized since World War II toy
two leading Communist internation-
al front groups: World Federation
of Democratic Youth and the In-
ternational Union of Students.
Next summer's meeting is the first
to be held outside of the Soviet
orbit.

Propoganda Flooding U. S.

Sponsors of the Information Ser-
vice, most of whom have experi-
ence in domestic and international
youth and student affairs, believe
that many American young people
do not fully realize the political
and propagandists nature of such
festivals. They point out that this,
in large measure, is due to a flood
of expensive and misleading liter-
ature with which the Festival
organizers deluge American college
campuses and youth organizations.

The Information Service, in con-
sultation with other American
youth and student groups, intends
to prepare and distribute docu-
mented studies on the history and
operation of past festivals. Pre-
parations for the Vienna gathering
will be continually analyzed and
periodically reported. In addition,
back-ground data on U. S. and
world affairs, indications on what
may be expected in Vienna, and
practical information as to means
of participation in the Festival will
be available to those young Amer-
icans who decide to attend or who
might visit the Festival briefly
while traveling in Europe.
U. S. Visitors to Festival

The organizers of the Infor-
mation Service support the position
of representative student and youth
groups in the U. S. and Austria,
the host country, along with those
in numerous other non-Communist
countries who have decided to boy-
cott the Festival and deny it any
official prestige. At the same time,
they do expect that many intel-
ligent and patriotic Americans
will wish to attend in an individual
and non-representative capacity.

The Information Service belives
that such participation can be
valuable if the individuals attend-
ing are fully informed as to the
nature and purpose of such a
meeting so as to lessen the ex-
ploitation of their presence for
propaganda purposes. The Service
further thinks that American par-
ticipants should be equipped to ef-
fectively present a democratic
viewpoint, dispel particular mis-
conceptions of American society,
and thus promote understanding
with the young people from many
countries who will be present.
Additional Information

Any person having questions
concerning the Festival or desiring
information about it may commun-
icate with the Service at its office:

vard Square, Cambridge 38, Mas-
sachusetts.

Agnes Scott Spirit Rises
As Class Of 00 Is United

Bridge, jokes, and spontaneous performances in the Hub were characteristic of a recently
graduated class of our school. Past publications of Silhouette reveal that throughout
the life of Agnes Scott College, various classes have been occupied with pursuits other than
winning academic recognition.

As far back as 1900, a Sopho-
more class took it upon itself
to put class spirit into college life.
Fourteen made up the roll and
they were not an organized body
their first year at college. How-
ever, by the next fall, according

to their class historian, " we,

by our organization, aroused the
first real class spirit that had ever
been at Agnes Scott." She writes
that they condescended to beseech
the Little Freshmen to organize.
So ardent was the Sophomore
class that some of the glory of class
spirit "touched the hard and fro-
zen hearts of Juniors and Seniors."
They, too, showed some love for
class.

A class of Juniors in 1905 seem-
ed completely obsessed with the
threat of failure. Each stanza of
their class poem begins with the
lines :

"Have you heard, the Juniors'
wail?

How they quail, how they quail ?

A description of an abundance
of work and hard teachers follows;
then the final lines, "We'll fail,
we'll fail."

A pitiful history of the class of
1908 is related. The opening line
to their class history exclaims how
hard it is to write a history of a
class that has no history. Of the
eight Juniors, three came in as
Freshmen. Three dropped back
from the class ahead in order to
make their degrees. Two came
as Sophomores. Others had belong-

ed at various times, but dropped unlocking Juniors' trunks to no

out for different reasons; among
them was the last year's President.
Because only seven were at the
first meeting, all were made of-
ficers and no one felt left out!

Another class bemoans its thin,
ning due to steady development
of curriculum. Few could meet it
"without being defeated" and were
made to fall back. This same class
had one victory to remember. In-
dependent of outside help, these
girls took the Seniors' caps and
gowns before they had even been
worn. Worried was the crowd that
rushed around before graduation,

purpose. With the help of a house-
maid, the vestments were finally
reclaimed.

The class of 1913 is noted for
their unromantic and materialistic
opinions concerning hefty but ad-
oring Decaturites. They never
managed . . so much as a little
tame polite scandal" within their
maidenly ranks. The class histor-
ian writes that "Exec just dotes
on us."

A lasting contribution was made
to the school by the class of 1918.
As Freshmen, they fought so hard
against the Sophomores that their
elders shouted "cease-fire." The
peace-pipe was smoked and ended
the long battle of Freshmen ver-
sus Juniors, Seniors, and especial-
ly Sophomores. With this class be-
gan the contest of wit, not mus-
cles. From then on members were

Classes Nominate
Beauty Candidates

Beauties from the four classes
recently nominated in class meet-
ings for the 1959 Silhouette con-
test are announced today by the

staff.

Leon ice Davis, Anne Dodd,
Margie Erickson, Linda McCall,
Runita McCurdy, and Ann Rivers
Payne are the six Seniors named
by classmates to represent the
class of 1959 in the annual con-
test.

The Juniors chose Peyton Baber,
Suellen Beverly, Lucy Cole, Suz-
anne Hoskins, Mary Jane Pickens,
and Becky Wilson.

Representing the Sophmores will
be Pat Irvin, Virginia K'Burg,
Karel Kwass, Millie McCravey,
Sue McCurdy, and Joyce Seay.

Lucy Benton, Germaine Calhoun,
Judy Holloway, Elaine Sayers, Jo
Allison Smith and Rae Taggert
are the beauties sponsored by the
class of sixty-two.

The beauty section of the 1959
Silhouette will feature eight girls
from the four classes. Winners
will be selected on the basis of
beauty, personality and poise by
a panel of three judges who will
meet the contestants at a tea in
early January. Mr. Joseph Per-
rin, head of the Art Department
at Georgia State, is the male
member of the judging committee;
two women members have not yet
been contacted.

The new method of selecting
the beauties was suggested by the
famous artist Jon Whitcomb, last
year's judge. Mr. Whitcomb felt
that photographs are not a valid
basis of judgment, since some
girls are not as photogenic as
others.

Members of the Silh6uette staff
voted to accept Mr. Whitcomb's
suggestion, and planned the tea
where judges will be able to meet
the girls in small groups. The
staff felt that an ASC beauty
should possess poise, personality,
and make a good general appear-

to receive a black cat instead of ance, in addition to being photo-
a black eye. I genie.

Closing hours: freshman women
must be in the domitory: Monday
through Thursday 11:00 p.m.,
Saturday 1:00 a.m.; Friday and
Sunday 12:00 midnight.

Parents' Permission

The permission form for signing
in and out, signed by the girl's
parents, must have been received
by the Dean of the School of Nur-
sing, or Supervisor of Dental Hy-
gienists, or by the Dormitory
Hostess before any permission to
leave town can be granted. This
form is kept on file in the Dormi-
tory. Only such permissions as ap-
pear on this form will be granted.

Students sign out at the dormi-
tory desk without special permis-
sion from the Dormitory Adminis-
tration when expecting to return
to the dormitory after 8:00 p.m.,
when not planning to leave the
city limits.

Failure to sign out or in is a
House Council offense. Three of
these will constitute one House
Council offense toward Honor
Council.

Students sign out at the dormi-
tory desk with a permission signed
by the Dormitory Administration
for: (a) Day or week-end trips
away from Chapel Hill; (b) Even-
ing engagements which involves
leaving Chapel Hill.

Freshman women students may
have three out-of-town permissions
(not to exceed six overnights)
during fall semester in addition to
University holidays and between
semesters.

Closed Study

House regulations : Freshman
women students must observe
closed study Monday through
Thursday from 8:00 p.m. until 10:30
p.m. Telephone calls may be re-
ceived between 10:30 p.m. and
11:00 p.m., but students may not
rceived guests at this time nor.
leave the dormitory. Violation of
this is a House Council offense
but will not count toward Honor
Council.

During these hours, students are
to remain in their rooms, or they
may use the Nursing Reading
Room or the Division of Health
Affairs Library, or dormitory study
room. They must be at their place
of study by eight o'clock.

When it is necessary to consult
anyone concerning her studies,
the student is on her honor to re-
turn to her room immediately. A
student may be excused from
closed study only one night a week
to attend a campus activity lasting
after 8:00 p.m. Girls wanting to
get excused must received permis-
sion from the Dormitory Admin-
istration prior to the time she is
excused.

Those freshman women students
not making a C average semester
must observe closed study during
second semester. Each freshman
shall report her grade average to
her house president at the beginn-
ing fo second semester.

The Dormitory Executeive Coun-
cil reserves the right to alter closed
study regulations at any time.

Internationally Speaking

Russia Threatens Berlin Crisis;
U. S. Pledges Determined Stand

By SUSIE WHITE

Last week West Berliners dug in for a six-month cold war
siege as Soviet Foreign Minister Andre Gromyko handed U. S.
Ambassador Llewellyn E. Thompson Jr., a 24-page note
proposing a six-month period for negotiations to arrange a
new status for West Berlin.

The action came when the Soviet
Union declared void the four-
power occupation agreement for
West Berlin and offered in its
place the creation of a demilitariz-
ed "free city" of West Berlin. The
Russians suggested that the U. N.
act as watchdog of West Berlin's
freedom by defying "the Soviet
government does not object to the
U. N.'s participating in observing
the status of the free city of West
Berlin."

To the relief of Allied officials
who had feared
the Russians
would waste no
tune in giving
control of Allied
supply lines into
West Berlin to
the East German
regime, which the
West refuses to
recognize, the note said that during
the six-month period of negotia-
tions there would be no change
in control of existing transport
links over which the Allied garri-
sons in West Berlin are supplied.

New Control

However, if no agreement is
reached between the Soviet Union
and the West during that period,
the Kremlin said it would go ahead
with liquidation of the occupation
controls. In other words it would
transfer control of the Allied traf-
fic to the East Germans. The
proposal for creation of a free
city applies only to West Berlin.
The East German government
already has sovereignty over East
Berlin, its capital, and Soviet
troops are there by a 1957 agree-
ment between the East German re-
gime and Moscow.

Moreover, the Russians made
clear that even if West Berlin be-
comes a free city, they intend for
East Germany which surrounds it
completely to control traffic to
and from the city. The Russians
put their proposal on a take it or
leave it basis.

The Western powers withheld
their final word on the Soviet
proposals, but the preliminary re-
action indicated they would reject
them. The U. S. State Department
said the U. S. would never agree
to anything that would mean the
abandonment of the people of West
Berlin to hostile domination. Dul-
les had previously aroused the
West Germans by suggesting the
U. S. would recognize East Ger-
many as the border guard of the
Soviet Union.

As the Western Allies renewed
their support, the West Berliners
clearly saw the next six months
as a period of uncertainty.

Agency Announces
Examination Dates

The National Teacher Examin-
ations, prepared and administered
annually by Educational Testing
Service, will be given at 250 test-
ing centers throughout the United
States on Saturday, February 7,
1959. The deadline for applications
and fees is January 9, 1959.

At the one-day testing session
a candidate may take the Common
Examinations, which include tests
in Professional Information, Gen-
eral Culture, English Expression,
and Non-verbal Reasoning; and
one or two of eleven Optional Ex-
aminations designed to demon-
strate mastery of the subject
matter to be taught. Mr. Kline or
the school system in which the
candidate is seeking employment
will advise her whether she should
take the National Teacher Exam-
inations and which of the Optional
Examinations to select.

Business Examinations
The Admission Test for Graduate
Study in Business, required for en-
trance by a number of graduate
business schools or divisions
throughout the country, will be ad-
ministered on February 5, April 11,
and July 25. Applications and fee
must be filed at least two weeks
before the testing date.

A candidate must make seper-
ate application for admission to
each business school of his choice
and should inquire of each whether
it wishes him to take the Admission
Test for Graduate Study in Busi-
ness and when. Since many busi-
ness schools select their entering
classes in the spring precedinge
thir entrance, candidates for ad-
mission to the 1959 classes are
advised to take the test as soon as
possible.

General Knowledge
The Admission Test for Gradu-
ate Study in Business is not design-
ed to test specific knowledge in
specialized academic subjects.
Normal under-graduate training
should provide sufficient general
knowledge to answer the test

Professor Rates Colleagues;
Publishers Await Reactions

Since Agnes Scott students take
great pride in the fine faculty-
student relations on campus and
consider the teaching staff to be
on the whole paragons of their
profession, an opportunity to de-
fend them has arisen!

Professor George Williams of
The Rich Institute, Texas, has
written a critical commentary on
higher education in the U. S. en-
titled, Some of My Best Friends
are Professors.

Concerned with the failures and
failings in the American university
today, and convinced that these
stem from the ineptitude, timidity
and inadequacy of too many pro-
fessors, Dr. Williams describes, in
solemn cenure and concern for
American young people, seven
types of the "bad professor."

First on the roster is the plain
stupid professor. This man may
be merely ignorant, or a bore, or
a clown. He may insult his stu-
dents' intelligence or be intel-
lectually lazy. The second bad
professor is the smug one, who
is convinced that he is most clever
and has proved to himself that
he is a pretty smart fellow.

Less common is the third type,
the arrogant professor. He is
never arrogant to those above, but
always to those below, faculty as
well as students.

A more common and less obnox-

questions.

Sample questions and inform-
ation regarding registration for
and administration of the two tests
are given in their Bulletins of In-
formation, which can be obtained
from Educational Testing Service,
20 Nassau Street, Princeton, New
Jersey.

ious is the fourth, the bookworm,
who is not interested in people.
Purely a scholar, he likes learning,
and may even enjoy talking about
what he knows, but he has not
real human warmth.

Then there is the one who tries
to pal around with his students,
be their companion and equal,
making them value his friendship,
not what he can teach them.

As a method of uncovering un-
dergraduate opinions on the views
held by the author of this book,
the publishers are sponsoring a
contest open to all upperclassmen
(freshmen are ineligible because
of their insufficient experience),
inviting an appraisal of the book.

There will be a prize of $500
given for the best essay; all
manuscripts may be no fewer
than 3,000 words and no more
than 10,000 words. The deadline is
February 1, 1959; the prize-win-
ner will be announced on March
15, 1959.

Entry blanks may be obtained
by writing to Professors Contest,

York.

Music Club Chooses
Gaines As Leader

Officers of the newly organized
Music Club of Agnes Scott are:
Flossie Gaines, president; Carol
Promnitz, vice-president; and Hope
Gregg, secretary. These officers
were elected at the last meeting
Wednesday, November 19 m Wal-
ters' Recreation Room. Mr. Tim-
othy Miller is the faculty advisor.

The club was organized for the
purpose of bringing together all
students on campus who are in-
terested in music in any way. It
was agreed to adopt a theme for
the programs of the year, and the
members voted to study contem-
porary music. It was also agreed
that the meetings would be held
monthly on Wednesday at 4 :30.

After the business Mr. Michael
McDowell, head of the music de-
partment of Agnes Scott, pre-
sented an informal program on
Thor Johnson, the famous con-
ductor who appeared in Atlanta
this fall.

"The membership for the club
is still open stated Flossie Gaines,
"and any students who are inter-
ested are invited to attend the
January meeting."

Tom Turkey Claims Spotlight;
Sparklers Shine On Campus

Beating the Christmas rush, six girls have already added a diamond
to their collection of high school rings and fraternity pins.

Carol Rogers and Irene Shaw led the parade with pre-Thanksgiving
diamonds. Fred Snell, KA, Emory graduate, presented Carol with
her ring the same night Irene received hers from Tucker Grigg,
Tech Phi Delt.

Lila McGeachy returned with a glow and a ring from Dick Ray,
Dartmouth graduate, now at Princeton Theological Seminary. Jean
Salter exchanged Billy's Sigma Nu pin from Auburn for a solitaire.
Paula Pilkenton returned from Thanksgiving in Newark, New
Jersey, with wedding plans concerning a certain Ward Schenck,
a Tech ME graduate.

Harriet Harrill had the Tisingers, the plane crewmen, and pas-
sengers for an audience when Dave Tisinger, Tech IM graduate, gave
her a lovely diamond just before he hopped aboard a plane for Rich-
mond a few weeks ago.

Hardeman's old maid housemother, Ces Rudisell, gave up despair-
ing when Brunell Lanford, her ATO pin pal, awarded her with a
ring for good conduct. He is in Emory Law School.

The pins for the weekend include Jane Nabors' Pi KA from David
Atchinson, Davidson junior; Beth Magoffin's Sigma Nu, from Conroy
Hudlow, the former Tech man, now at Atlanta Art Institute, Trish
Walker's Annapolis crest from Dennie McQuary; and K. Jo Freeman's
SAE, from Jimmy Dunlap, a Tech graduate.

As Thanksgiving holidays were the big date in everyone's book
for the past weekend, go back in your thoughts to the previous week-
end of Fall Frolics and "The Enchanted." These big items drew the
bulk of Scotties, but there were some other mighty fabulous things
on neighboring campuses.
Susan Abernathy, Julia McNairy, Lynn Shankland, and Jane Prevost
were raving about the fantabulous Princeton weekend. Although
Dartmouth won the big game, that didn't dampen spirits noticeably,
these gals report.

Sophs Capture Hockey Crown
Bearing Out Early Predictions

By NANCY DUVALL

To begin a summation and analysis of the quarter, first we
must give Sylvia a salute for her 100 per cent correct predic-
tion of the hockey season. It happened just that way with lots
of extra spice and excitement added. And to top it off, the
frosh were just as elated over their first goal as were the
sophs over winning the championship.

By far the best played and most
I exciting games
were the two
times the juniors
] and sophomores
(encountered each
I othetr. Tension
rose so high that
jit almost became
dangerous, but
[these two games
were tne nign mark of the season.

The freshmen showed the other
teams enough potential and fight-
ing spirit to present a threat. Im-
provement was shown and can be
noted by the tie that resulted in
their last game with the seniors.
The seniors were exceptionally
good at breaking away and going
to the goal but had trouble once
they got there. This is the place
the points are made, and it takes
points to win a game. Consequen-
tly, the seniors ended up in third
place.

Minor Sports

In the minor sports, the fresh-
men took first place in swimming
and tennis; and the sophomores
claimed first place in archery. Ar-
chery, by the way, has been a
very popular sport this quarter.

Speaking of the minor sports, let
me drop a hint for next quarter.
Riding can be taken for credit or
non-credit with the Voghts at
Windy Hill. The Voghts recently
bought this new place, and I under-
stand the facilities are very nice.
If interested see someone in the
Physical Education Dept. or Jill
Imray, riding manager.

Among other events this quarter
of interest was the time West-
minster School came out for a
hockey clinic. The trouble was
lack of time, but both groups (A.-
S. C. and Westminster) seemed
to enjoy the occasion.

Another event was Fall Frolics
sponsored by A. A. and Social
Council. It seems here that upper
classmen didn't give the support
they could have.

Cabin Improvements

Considerable work has advanced
on the Cabin. We now have a
special committee to work on pro-
jects for it. There is a refriger-
ator at the Cabin now. Mr. Rogers
had screen doors made and a walk
way to the Cabin built. Plans are
being set to work on some land-
scaping. All in all, things are roll-
ing along.

Now this columnist (taking her
life in her hands) ventures a com-
ment on spirit. The freshmen class

as usual, vivacious, undaunted,
determined, peppy, has it. The
sophomores are loud and proud,
but lack that extra something they
had last year (Is it just fresh-
manness?). The junions where
are they at the hockey games?
There isn't too much material that
one can comment on. The seniors
considering their scarcity and
their four haggering years at A.
S. C. deserve a note of praise.
They stick by their team through
thick and thin. They are always
fighting.

Now this columnist wishes you
a Merry Christmas and goes into

Junior Jaunt Whirl Begins
WitrTWorld Winds' Theme

By SARA ANNE CAREY

With "World Winds" as its theme, the annual campus charity drive known as Junior
Jaunt will take over the campus scene for the whole of next week, January 19-24. As
the theme suggests, Junior Jaunt, 1959, will have an international flavor, featuring
fund-raising projects which reflect nations of the world, as a reminder that the money
given will be spread to many parts of the earth where it is needed.
Organized by the class of 1960

Foundations Grant
$8500 Study Funds

Dr. Alston has announced two
study grants for Agnes Scott this
year.

A $3,500 grant has been issued
by the Esso Education Foundation
for the academic year 1958-1959.
These funds are unrestricted ex-
cept that they must be applied to
undergraduate education.

A faculty summer study grant
of $5,000 has been given by the
Danforth Foundation. This grant
is to be used over, a three year
period and will be administered
by a committee at Agnes Scott.

The Danforth Foundation, whose
program is to increase faculty com-
petence in colleges of liberal arts
and sciences, has selected 36 col-
leges to receive grants. The Esso
Education Foundation also gives
similar grants to private colleges
and universities.

Recital To Feature
Mozart, Beethoven

Mr. Jay C. Fuller, piano instruc-
tor at Agnes Scott, will present
his recital Friday, January 16, at
8:00 in Gaines Chapel.

His program will begin with
"Rondo in A Minor" by Mozart.

Following this piece, Beethoven's
"Appassionata Sonata" will be
played. A group of five piano pieces
by Brahms will follow. To end the
recital, Mr. Fuller will play "Une
Suite Pour Le Piano" by Debussy.

this year's version will empha-
size Junior Jaunt as the one week
in the year when the efforts of
every member of the college com
munity are concentrated in an
all-out drive to raise money for
charity, according to Nancy Du-
vall, over-all Junior Jaunt chair-
man. The week of money-raising
will end with the Junior Jaunt
Charity Ball on Saturday night.
Suppressed Desires
Suppressed Desires Day will
come on Monday, January 19, to
start the ball rolling. For $1.00 a
student may gratify such hereto
fore frustrated wishes as wearing
sports clothes anywhere on cam-
pus, screaming in the library, rid-
ing in the faculty elevators, and
calling professors by their first
names; and she will have these
privileges until midnight. Tickets
are on sale this week; and every-
one who participates must have
one.

Faculty Skit

Chapel on Monday will feature
a skit by the faculty. Miss Kate
McKemie admits that it will con-
cern the reaction of Seminary and
Tech boys to Scott girls, plus
other highlights of campus life.
She hopes to have a good many of
the faculty members in it, includ-
ing a number of the top brass.
Because of this special chapel,
the class schedule will be speeded
up on Monday, i.e., there will be
only five minutes between classes
instead of ten. Coffee and do-nuts
will be sold in the Hub after
chapel.

Carnival

An international carnival will
give Junior Jaunt its official send-
off on Monday night from 9:00 un-
til 10:30 in the Gym. Everyone on
campus is invited to join in the
fun. There will be a horror house,
game booths from different coun-
tries, and coffee, do-nuts, candied
apples, cokes, and other refresh-
ments on sale. Emily Bivens and
the campus Spirit Committee have
done all the planning and prepara-
tion for this event.

Class Projects
From Tuesday until Friday,
each class will sponsor various
fund-raising projects, striving to
reach a goal which it set for it-
self last Monday in class meeting.
Not all the projects are simply
charity, but usually provide some
sort of service for a price.

The freshmen will be around to
change linens the night before the
laundry goes out in each dorm.
The sophs will sponsor a travel-
ing beauty shop while the juniors
will offer the monogramming ser-
vice (sheets, towels, shirts, sweat-
ers, etc.). Wednesday night the
seniors will hold a slave sale.
There will be Chinese cake auc-
tions, a raffle for two blind dates,
a stuffed animal contest and many
other schemes. Some variety of

. projects.

day, Wednesday, and Thursday.
Dances, Talent Show
Dances and the annual Junior
Jaunt production will end the
week of fund-raising. On Friday
there will be a show featuring cam-
pus talent. Immediately after the
production, there will be an in-
formal dance.

Saturday night the formal Jun-
ior Jaunt Charity Ball will end
the annual charity drive. At this
time the amount of money raised
will be disclosed and the class
which participated most whole-
heartedly in the entire effort will
be announced.

Class Competition
Competition among the classes
will be based strictly on partici-
pation. Each person in charge of
a project will have a 3x5 card on
which she is responsible for check-
ing off the class of each person
who participates in her project.
Each participant should make sure
she is marked down on the card.
Credit will be given only for first
participation in each project.
Tickets for the Charity Ball will
count as participation only if they
are bought ahead of time since
all money must be turned in Sat-
urday morning.

LL S. Faces Dilemma

Our professors tell us that one of the many values derived
from a study of the classics is the foundation it provides
for an understanding of our modern world culturally,
politically, socially.

In one of our drama courses recenty we read "The Suppli-
ants" of Aeschylus, and we were struck by the parallel in
the plot of that tragedy and the position of the United
States in world affairs today. The reading of the play raised
for us again the question of our nation s responsibility to
other countries in the struggle between democracy and
communism.

In the drama, the suppliants are the fifty daughters of
Danaus, who flee from Egypt to Argos to escape a forced
marriage with the fifty sons of their tyrant uncle and king.

Arriving in Argos, the suppliants plead with
King Pelasgus of the country for protection
from their pursuers. Pelasgus finds himself
in a dilemma similar to that of the United
States today: if he aids the weak and in-
nocent women, his country will be attacked
by the Egyptian foe; if he refuses to give the
fifty sisters protection, the wrath of the gods
| will be vent upon his people, and more im-
portant, his sense of moral duty will suffer
greatly. He finally agrees to help the suppliants, and the
play ends with the preparations for the inevitable war to
follow.

Today, the United States is faced with a similar problem.
We remember the Korean Conflict fought in terms of
countless lives, only to end in a final weak and deadly com-
promise. Hungary's desperate broadcasts for aid from the
tree world in the revolution of 1956 tore the hearts of mil-
lions, and the subsequent Russian invasion and slaughter of
ihe brave rebels when the West refused aid left us with
a sick feeling of guilt. From Formosa, the same appeal was
made by Nationalists several months ago for help in their
attempts to hold back the tide of Communism which threat-
ened Quemoy and Matsu. Most recently, developments in
East and West Berlin culminated in the now-familiar situa-
tion of increasing Russian aggression and invasion threats.

Can the United States, with her allies, in an attempt to
avoid an all-out nuclear war, continue her policy of passi-
vity? Must she refuse aid to the innocent and weak victims
of a tyrannical system imposed against the will of peoples,
as the only course open?

Our security lies now in the belief that no government
d res use the force that would bring about total destruction
in any international war. If we do believe that, can we not
d re to take a decided stand against continuing exploitation
of the smaller and weaker nations of the world by com-
munism?

Personally, we fear that unless such a stand is taken
immediately we will see the fulfillment of Russia's con-
fident prediction that the United States will be completely
"socialistic" in our own generation. C. D.

Salutarnus

Our faculty deserves commendation on a number of points.

First, whether we agree or disagree, we must admire their
courage in signing the manifesto about preserving our public
schools.

Secondly, we wish to commend them for their support
of the honor system through truly trusting us, their students.

We appreciate their friendliness a ready
smile or hello, a real concern for the indivi-
dual, and an interest in campus activities:
shown through attending Black Cat and
hockey games, writing letters to the editor,
and sponsoring classes and clubs.

They have opened their homes to us for
food after exams, for classes and seminars
with refreshments, and for friendly chats.
They have shared their families with us, the
wives pouring tea and coffee for exam teas, their children
running across the hockey field or holding an ASC babysit-
ter's attention.

We realize that they have spent many years of hard study
to reach their present position in the academic world, and
that it is due solely to their love of a field of knowledge and
of teaching students like us that they have devoted their
lives to a profession which is not rewarded by great material
gain, but rather by a personal satisfaction and sense of in-
tegrity.

Openmindedness and consideration are other characteristics
of our professors: these are borne out by a cut given to a
class the day of a paper deadline or of a required lecture, and
by the encouragement of opposing ideas.

Most of all, they are stimulating us to think, objectively,
critically, logically, and imaginatively. We, your students,
salute you. C. F.

Letter To The Editor

Lower House Gives
Intercom to Cabin

Each year Lower House gives to
the college one major gift, some-
thing which, in this organization's
eyes, fulfills a real need on this
campus.

This year, in cooperation with
Mr. Rogers and the Cabin Com-
mittee, Lower House is financing
the installation of an intercom
system between the cabin and the
steam plant, and the placement
of lights along the path to the
cabin.

Lower House has planned sever-
al painless methods of extracting
money to finance the project. In
the latter part of the quarter, there
will be a breakfast-in-bed sale
and a bargain book sale in the Hub.
In cooperation with the Art De-
partment, the group will also hold
a sale of student work in February.

Lower House joins the Cabin
Committee in urging your use of
the cabin, now well equipped for
your safety and convenience!

Worth

By MIMI PHILLIPS

Well, here we go 'round again for another quarter actual-
ly we should up our prices). The debates are over and Levin's
leaving Junior Jaunt and Soph Parents weekend are looming

ahead and Christmas debauchery is
fast fading into the realm of the
"good old days." Sameness sets m
like rigor, mortis and we are lulled
once more into the dubious charm
of routine.

I suppose it's rather obvious that
the author of this is a Sophomore,
or more specifically, one of those
Winter Quarter Sophomores, also
known as the Lost Tribe and the
Foolish Virgins. I am also a card
carrying member of the Beat Gen-
eration. Actually, I should have
said "cards carrying member" (ex-
cept it didn't sound very euphon-
ious) -because I carry 52 of them
around everywhere.

Anyway, back to the beat-gen-
eration, that is. We have a fascin-
ating chapter of that organization
at Agnes Scott which bears look-
ing into. It seems as if all of us
are members of this chapter, and
a general comment on the entire
group might be that it can get the
beat as well as get beat. Now
this presents an interesting prob-
lem, (why or to whom, I don't
know, but it seemed like the only
logical thing to say).

Agnoids

Really though, it does seem as
if there is always a contingent
among us who gets the beat; they
have a very definite beat which
runs from dorm to Hub to dining
hall to mail room and back, wide-
skirting the library. These cre-

to preserve the elephants Howard
becomes an international "Robin
Hood".

Dogpatch is revisited in the
Tower Theater's presentation of
Li'I Abner, January 12-17. Based on
Al Capp's comic strip, the play is a
sparkling musical comedy featur-

atures are a subspecies of Scot ties,
and I shall christen them the Ag-
noids, mainly because it suggests
Mongoloid (the analogy should be
obvious; it is there, by the way).

Others, devotees of the Muses
or of the 3.0, (let's call them
Meese) can be found basking in the
"calm of delightful studies" behind
certain red brick battlements;
there they perform strange rites
while hidden in small barren cubi-
cles. These too, have a place in
the BG of ASC; they are often beat
the Agnoids in IE. (No, not a
course at Ga. Tech, -it means In-
tellectual Endeavor).

Off-lVnts

There is one more faction, the
Off-Beats. I hate to get started
on the offs, it's a little close to
home; but in all fairness I guess
they have to be exposed. Repre-
senting a strange cross between
the other two classes, they follow
the same beat by which the Ag-
noids navigate around the campus,
yet they maintain a certain mysti-
cism which associates them as
kindred spirits of the Meese (you
know, plural of Muse). They live
a fevered, daring existence, often
dashing off great philosophical
masterpieces in the culinary quar-
ters of a certain establishment, or
hungrily devouring bacon, both
fried and Francis, in the Grill at
6:00 a.m. The quiet discipline of
the library is more than their, by-
ronic souls can submit to, yet they
fancy themselves as "passionately,
searchingly receptive to the world
of ideas." Off Beats is what they
are, all right, yet they give the
ASC harmony such a neat tempo.

Well, there you have it, a brief
(it's only redeeming quality) re-
sume of the BGASC. Let's face
it, we're all going to plunk down
another Quarter and ride again on
the ole merry-go-around. When
things look blackest, let the cry
go up "We can't be Beat!"

By BEVERLY DELK and MARY RIVERS STUBBING

Who says this is an "Adamless Eden" and that there is no hope?
Some Scotties -proved this to be false over the holidays.

Two ministers and one minister-to-be succumbed to the charms of
Scott gals.

Beth Redford (freshman!) captured Rev. Fielding Russell, Presby-
terian minister of Eastman, Georgia.

Bob Jones, the captive of Carolyn Hazard, is now attending
Yale Divinity School. He is also a graduate of Davidson College
where he was a member of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity, and a
resident of Norfolk, Virginia.

The Rev. Tommy Mathews is in the safe custody of Ethel DuRant,
Tommy is a Methodist minister in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and
is now attending Wofford College in Spartanburg.

Several members of the Agnes Scott family lost members of their
immediate families to other members of the Agnes Scott family.

Anna Maria Aviles' brother, Boli Aviles-Alfaro, a senior at Ga.
Tech, has now become the sole property of Mary Grace Palmour.
Boli was previously of Guayaquil, Equador, but now claims Atlanta
as his home.

Betsy Roberts "lassoed" Joe Pancake (or vice versa?). Joe, who
is the brother of Betty Pancake and the cousin of Emily Pancake,
is a farmer in Romney, W. Virginia. He attended West Virginia Uni-
versity.

Many other Scotties also "got their man."

Sibley Robertson is now "polishing apples" for Raymond Veal who
teaches English at Darlington in Rome, Ga. He is from Chester,
South Carolina.

Charles Bagwell surrendered to the charms of Angelyn Alford. He
is attending Clemson College and is a resident of Columbus, Ga.

John Howard, of Roanoke, Virginia, succumbed to the wiles of Sally
Smith. He is at present a senior in civil engineering at Georgia Tech
and a member of the ATO fraternity.

Sue McCurdy's military strategy payed off in a big way. The result
was her "grand alliance" with Lt. Greg Hosterman of Tulsa, Okla-
homa. He graduated from Oklahoma University, where he was an
SAE, as an aeronautical engineer and is now flying F-100's at
Phoenix, Arizona.

Willa Dendy scored with a ring from I. M. Stanley Roe, a football
player for Tech's Yellow Jackets.

Anne Tilly was "electrified" by a sparkle from Jimmy Lee, an
electrical engineer co-op at Georgia Tech. He is from Charlotte, N. C.

News Flash! The Agnes Scott Faculty Bachelor Club has an-
nounced that Mr. Miller of the Music Department has decided to
give up his membership-in-good-standing, and the lucky one is our
own Miss Tucker of the DO staff.

Gretchen Elliot and Frank Peacock, of Bartow, Fla., decided to
take the final step during the holidays. Frank graduated from Emory
and is now in med school there. He is also a member of thePhi
Chi medical fraternity.

Basketball Tops Sports List,
Promising Spirited Competion

By SYLVIA SAXON

Hi, sports devotees! Now that winter quarter is in full
swing, the sports scene should prove to be exciting and full.
Topping the list of activities is basketball, and competition
will be, as always, exciting and spirited.

This past week the classes went

ADMISSION S5c

through preliminary drills and at
this stage of the game it is hard
to tell which class will emerge
victorious at the season's end.

Frosh
The freshman
I class has several
w tall prospects and
as soon as the
team finds itself
3 and can play as
a unit, it should
I offer strong op-
position, especi-
ally to the comparatively shorter
teams. Sophs

The sophomores, with one year's
experience, should be strong. Of
course the team will be without
the services of Simmons, a stellar
forward last year. With Peagler
and High as forwards, the team
should have a potent scoring
punch, probably the strongest
scoring duo of the four classes.
Returning at guard will be Dalton,
Robertson, Barr, and Peagler, who
is also a strong guard. Defensively
and offensively, the sophs are a
very well-rounded team.

Juniors

The juniors are faced with the
huge problem of replacing ace
Peace Fewell: Evans seems to be
the likely prospect for taking up
the slack. Muse, Norman, Law,
Boatwright, and Duvall give the
juniors a ball-hawking defense,
perhaps the best. Will the juniors
retain their championship? It de-
pends on how well the offense can
rally to close the gap left by Few-
ell; defensively the class has cham-
pionship potential, but then of
course, games are won on baskets
scored.

Seniors

The seniors, working again as a
unit after their "sophomore mi-
gration", which left them with
holes to fill, may cop the cham-
pionship. They have it, both de-
fensively and offensively. With
Mitchell, Harris, and McMillan
at guards, and Currie and Hughes
at forwards, the seniors present
a serious threat.

My predictions? Well, it is too
early to tell, and besides I think
I will rest on my success in hock-
ey. I cannot be so lucky twice in
four months so Duvie will go out
on a limb this go-round. As for
me, I think it will be a toss-up;
the team that shows the most tal-
ent and spirit consistently week
after week should take the title.
So all of you come out and support
your team; you'd be surprised how
much a little encouragement
helps!

Castro Wins After Three Years;
Post-War Problems Face Cuba

By SUSIE WHITE

As of January 1, another Latin-American dictator had fled
and a new "strong man" entered on the scene. Events in Cuba
which led to the defeat of Fulgencio Batista, Cuban dictator
and President, by Fidel Castro, a revolutionary with a law
degree, climaxed two years of sporadic civil war.

raised by selling bonds on pub-
lic works, leaving a debt for future
governments.

Although it is not clear what
will happen to properties in which
North Americans have invested,
the rebels have declared outside
capital will be respected.

Arms Destroyed
The initial victory by Castro is
but the first stage in Cuba's re-
construction. There have been war
trials and executions. Caches of
arms have been located by Castro
and destroyed as counter-revolu-
tionary. War damage must be re-
paired.

It seems unlikely that there
will be any noticeable change in
Cuban diplomacy toward the U. S.,
for Castro frankly admits that
Cuba can not afford to be un-
friendly. Moreover, Provisional
President Urrutia has declared he
will work for friendship with the
United States.

The defeat of Batista left only
two absolute dictators in all of
Latin America General Rafael
Trujillo of the Dominican Re-
public and Gen-
eral Alfredo
S t r o e s s ner of
Paraguay.

The import-
ance and mean-
ing for the U. S.
of the develop-
ments in Cuba
can be measured
by investments running close to a
billion dollars. Moreover, in Cuba
there is the U. S. naval base at
Guantanamo Bay. The U. S. Gov-
ernment owns a nickle mine at
Nicaro.

Inherited Debt

Although Batista and his fol-
lowers left behind a fairly rich
country, it is estimated they ab-
sconded with about 1 billion dol-
lars from smuggling, graft, and
outright theft. Moreover, the
government is not in good finan-
cial shape, for Batista had spent
around 400 million dollars mostly

Poll Reflects Views
On New Regulation

In an attempt to discover the
effectiveness or ineffectiveness of
the new dormitory system of no

the following campus-wide poll.

cottage at all. I

sponsibility and
is a whole abide

Jean Salter: "Frankly, I can
see little change,
in conditions, el
ther for better orl
worse. To me this
seems to show]
that the new sys<
tern surely is not
undesirable; and
with more time
may become a
means by which dormitories can
be positively improved."

Sherry Addington: "I don't think
^^^^ Jtit has proved to
jfflk Bfefc be too effective,
r^^^f The increased a-
JB ^ v -nunot of noise in

I I worst element.

"Rather, it is the

cept the responsibility of the new

Linda Ingram: "I think the new

Charity Keynotes Week;
Ball To End Junior Jaunt

Food sales, shoe shines, a raffle, and many ether projects are signs that this is Junior Jaunt
1959, January 19-24. "World Winds" is the theme of the week this year, the junior class,
organizer of this annual campus charity drive, chose it to emphasize the service to all man-
kind which results from spontaneous giving, according to Nancy Duvall, ever-all Junior
Jaunt chairman.

Four causes will benefit from
the combined effort of the entire
college community to raise money
for charity: Dr. Alexander, for-
mer Agnes Scott physician and
now a medical missionary to In-
dia; the World University Ser-
vice (WUS), which helps students
in more than 60 countries to ob-
tain a higher education; the Jolley
Home, a non-denominational or-
phanage outside Atlanta; and the
Marian Howard School for brain-
damaged children.

An innovation by this year's
junior class is a two-day weekend
for Junior Jaunt. The "World
Winds" theme will be carried on
into this week-end which will in-
clude a production and an infor-
mal party on Friday night, and the
Junior Jaunt Charity Ball on Sat-
urday.

Friday Night

Dolly Bates, Junior Jaunt pro-
duction chairman, promises that
there will be a number of big
surprises in the way of talent and
comedy from the faculty as well
as from the students on Friday
night. The Friday night event is
not r. talent show, but an integrat-
ed production, she says. Nancy
Duvall calls it "a series of indi-
vidual acts, inspired by a serious
purpose, but tied together with a
lot of comedy."

In accord with the Junior Jaunt
theme, the production will involve
a trip around the world taken by
two cosmopolitan gentlemen: Dr.
Kwai Sing Chang, a psychologist
studying the ways of mankind;
and M. Pierre Thomas, alias Pas-
spataters. These two act out their
roles in pantomime, while Miss
Monotone (Ellen Hines) introduc-
es the acts which represent differ-
ent countries. The acts to be seen
are a secret, but Dolly reveals
that a certain red-headed member
of the D. O. staff will represent
Spain. The curtain will rise at
8:00 p.m., in Gaines Chapel.

Immediately following the Jun-
ior Jaunt Production on Friday-
night, there will be an informal
party for everyone in the Rec
Room of Walters. Margaret Good-
rich, head of the Friday night
party committee, says that there
will be everything for an enter-
taining evening: bridge, scrabble,
checkers, ping-pong, coffee, cokes,
do-nuts, loose men, a fire in the
fireplace, and records for those
who want to dance. She urgeis that
everyone plan to come and have
a good time.

Formal

Graham Jackson and his band
will play for the formal Junior
Jaunt Charity Ball on Saturday
night from 8:30 until 12:00. The
Graham Jackson band was the
"official entertainment band" of
President Franklin D. Roosevelt,
ind just three weeks ago played
c or Senator Hubert Humphries'
New Year's Eve party.

Midway through the dance there
will be a special 15-minute inter-
mission show in Walters Rec

Helen Scott Maddox and Carey Bowen watch as Judy Holloway
tests her strength at the "German Booth*' during Monday night's
international carnival.

Room at which Judy Heinz and
"The Scotties" will entertain. The
Charity Ball ends Junior Jaunt,
and at this time the amount of
money gained during the week
will be announced, as will the class
which participated most whole-
heartedly in the week. Tickets for
the evening are $2.00 and to have
them count as participation, they
must be bought before Saturday.

Tonight also, the sophomores
will be around with candied apples
and popcorn; tomorrow the seni-
ors will follow suit with cake
slices. The freshmen are still sell-
ing chances for their Blind Date
Raffle, the prizes being a date
with Frank Inman; a date with
Bill Vanlandingham; and two din-
ners for two at Mammy's Shanty.

The class of '62 is also changing
linens before the laundry goes out
and conducting a search for the
cutest stuffed animal on campus.
The juniors are offering the mono-
gramming service, shining shoes,
and running a musical chairs
game with prizes. Tomorrow the
sophs will a.gain open their beauty
shop; in addition, they are selling

La Bon re To Discuss
Navy Opportunities

Lieutenant Nadene LaBonte, the

accordance with his custom, he will
not speak upon an announced sub-
ject but will chat informally as
he reads selections from his works.

Fear Stifles Students

In an informal group discussion the other night, the old
question of the lack of individual expression on our campus
arose.

This time we were primarily concerned with the fact that
students are too often hesitant to express openly their per-
sonal views if their views are contrary to the general con-
census on campus.

In an attempt to find some valid reason for this prevailing
situation, it was suggested that a reluctance to voice one's
opinion among fellow students stems from fear: the fear of
criticism.

And it is not a fair, objective, or constructive criticism of
the idea expressed by the girl, but often a scathing attack on
her personality, her idiosyncrasies, her character, her dress,
her friends.

As one professor has pointed out, in argumentation there
are two methods. There is the objective approach in which
the debate deals only with the ideas proffered, a debate that
requires hard thinking and good judgment. The second me-
thod, considered beneath the dignity of any real intellectual,
is known as "ad hominem," and is an out-and-out attack on
the opponent's character when all other resources fail. In
politickin' it's what they call mud-slinging.

It seems to us that we resort to this second method all too
often when a fellow student disagrees with us, or with the
group, and expresses her views. We pride ourselves on the
high level of our intellectual life here at Scott. Surely we
possess the intelligence and the integrity to evaluate a girl's
ideas for what they are worth, without degrading our own
characters by a petty criticism of the individual's tastes,
looks, and interest. ,

We are smothering a very vital and necessary part of our
college experience: the development of self-expression. C. D.

sarcasm

Reig

ns

Crewneck sweaters, pleated skirts, and the latest rock and
roll have been superceded by the King of campus life in the
United States. Sarcasm with its many facets now reigns
supreme.

The evidence of this fact grows every day. We no longer
judge a conver sationlist on his knowledge of literature or
the political developments of the day, but
rather on his clever retorts and sharp, cutting
witticisms. How often we hear, "Let me pull
that dagger out of my back." That is a signal
that one of the group has made an exception-
ally good come-back.

College magazines, especially those written
simply to amuse the students, are made up
of one sarcastic remark after the other. This
is all the readers seem to want. Here Aurora,
wnicn can und enough literary talent without resorting to
a sarcastic interplay of words, should be commended.

A further way in which sarcasm is manifest in our lives
today is the popularity of contemporary cards. The simple
wish of "Happy Birthday" is buried under the tons of "Well,
what did you expect, a present?" Even Christmas did not
escape the contemporary card. Truly sarcasm is becoming a
dictator that is growing more potent every day.

To explain why the American college set is amused only
by the sharpest cuts and the most sarcastic wit is difficult.
Some excuse sarcasm by saying that it is one means of dis-
playing a keen intellectual wit, but is this true though on the
topic at hand?

Others justify sarcasm by saying it is fun. Even with dates
there is often a battle for the most piercing, biting remarks.
However, it all boils down to the fact that we have forgotten
how to respect and to love our fellow man. We have forgotten
how to be pleasant.

A remedy and definitely the situation should be altered
involves a great deal more effort than many of us are will-
ing to give. Only conscientious consideration for other people
will have the power to de-throne this ruler and restore pleas-
antness and good will in conversations and contact with
others. M. McKinney

Pasternak Asserts
Reverence For Life

BY SALLY SAXFORD
Doctor Zhivago, by Boris Past-
ernak, the 1958 Nobel Prize win-
ner for literature, has been per-
haps the most publicized and
discussed book to be published in
many years.

The artistry and spirit of the
book should not be obscured by
its sensational aspects: the fact
that it is a Russian novel never
published in Russia, that the So-
viet Government would not allow
its author to accept the Nobel
Prize, and that Pasternak himself
(long acknowledged Russia's lead-
ing poet) has been reviled dn his
beloved homeland and forced out
of the Soviet writer's union.

All this does not make Doctor
Zhivago a great or beautiful or
inspiring book. What does make
it all -these is also what has un-
doubtedly brought the vast abuse
from the Communist hierarchy:
i t s overflowing, compassionate
view of man and its love and re-
verence for life. The name Zhivago
itself comes from the Russian word
for "alive."

Spirit of Book

The spirit and theme of the book
are In direct opposition to Com-
munist ideology. A reverence for
life itself, for man, and for the
indestructibility of love are seen in
the hero, Dr. Zhivago, who lives
through the 1917 revolution and
the following terrible years of civil
war and collectivism.

Zhivago at first supports the
revolution, but soon is horrified at
the brutalities and bloodshed of
the new regime. In the midst of
regimentation and hatred, Zhivago
and Lara, the woman he loves all
his life, try to hold on to the good
and eternal values: love, compas-
sion, and the integrity of the in-
dividual mind.

As "Time" said in its review of
the book, Zhivago is not the cur-
rently fashionable 'Thomme en-
gage," referring to active politi-
cal and social engagement. For
Zhivago clings to engagement in
more basic and enduring values
those of art, philosophy, and, es-
pecially, Christianity.

Realistic Novel

This is a realistic novel, but like
none you will find from Western
writers today. It glosses over none
of the corruption and terrorism
of either side in the revolution
and civil war. But except for Zhiv-
ago, the other characters are never
fully drawn. They slide in and out
of episodes exploding with talk,
vitality, and action, but their mo-
tivations are seldom explored. This
shadowiness of the lesser charac-
ters perhaps adds to the power of
the novel and its hero, who, like
Pasternak, is concerned with the
glory and force of life, and with
man's place, not as a cog in a
machine or a tenet of ideology, but
as a child of God.

All The Wonderful Tilings

Pasternak, before Doctor Zhivago
was published, said: "I always
dreamt of a novel in which, as in
an explosion, I would erupt with
all the wonderful things I saw and
understood in the world." In this
book, I think he has.

In the midst of James Jones and
Jack Kerouac, of the sex-by-sex
"slice of life" school, of materialists
and "beats," Doctor Zhivago stands
alone and above contemporary
novels. The book is an optomistic
affirmation of resurrection and the
vitality of man's spirit, and of the
power of love, even in the midst of
a degrading, mechanistic civiliz-
ation.

cjCetterd to tlie Editor

Fuller Writes From Paris;
Junior Interprets Jaunt'

Dear students,

After having promised many of you that I would write, I
did not see how I was going to accomplish this great task.
However, I would still like to tell you of my impressions,
adventures and everyday experiences, here in this new world
of mine.

Last year when I received word
that my junior, year in Paris was
to become a reality I am not quite
sure what I anticipated . . . snails,
wine and bearded Frenchmen, I
suppose. Instead, I have found a
sincere and friendly people and
a city of unique charm.

University Town

But before I start praising Pans
let me relate my six weeks in
southern France. Aix-en-Provence
is a university town with no in-
dustry and little commerce. Its
history dates from the old Gaul
settlement and through the years
has played an important role as a
seat of provincial government. Aix
is a town of art and music. Picas-
so or Masson taking their after-
noon beer at a sidewalk cafe were
not uncommon sights.

Family Life

I stayed with a French family.
My morning was begun by a daily
siren. For my very typically French
breakfast I ate hard bread and
butter and drank cafe au lait. The
day had begun . . . classes in gram-
mer, phonetics, translation and
composition. Afternoons were filled
with outings in the surrounding
countryside and museums. Week-
ends were spent by excursions in
which we saw practically all of
southeastern France, including the
Riviera.

I left Aix with much regret but
with many dear memories of its
people, life, and friendliness.

Paris . . . gai Paris. Although I
had visited this city as a tourist
before this fall, I had never ap-
preciated its atmoshpere. Cars
darting in and out at a mad speed,
vendors chanting in a sing-song
voice their, wares, large avenues,
open markets, fashion shops, me-
tros. Plain everyday existence pos-
sesses a certain thrill. After all,
where else could the same street
change its name six times, lovers
kiss on traffic islands and police-
men tip their hats as they hand you
a traffic violation!

Sorbonne

My course of study this year is
all French, mostly literature but
also grammer and phonetics. I have
classes, designed for and by Smith
College, given by Sorbonne profs.

\\\\ my Muse argues,

Also, I have some classes at the
Sorbonne itself.

Culture

Paris has unlimited numbers of
theatres, concert halls, operas,
museums and arenas. From Clau-
del to Moliere, ice hockey to cir-
cuses, "Aida" to jazz, Rembrandt
to El Greco . . . entertainment to
suit any taste and any mood for a
relatively small amount.

During one of my first days here
I ran into June Hall. It really is a
small world. Later I spent the
afternoon walking with Martha
Colquitt along the banks of the
Seine, where we caught up on all
the ASC gossip and activities. I
miss Atlanta, the campus and all
of you. But I know it won't be
long before I will see you again.
Sincerely,
KAY FULLER
(Kay's address: fc Mme Mallet
244 Blvd. Raspail
Paris 14 France)

Dear Editor:

In searching back over, past an-
nuals, newspapers, and records, one
fails to find what one would like
so much to find an exact, author-
itative, and definite credo of the
purpose of Junior Jaunt. Perhaps
if there was at any time such a
credo that stated: "The purpose of
Junior Jaunt is this, and this, and
this," it is now lost.

Varying Views
Consequently, with no specific
point of reference, there develop
differing viewpoints. One school
of thought reasons that raising
money is the main emphasis. Ano-
ther group claims that the spirit of
giving is what is important. Oth-
ers say that the show and the
dance are the highlights. And a
few offer the idea that Junior
Jaunt is a time for unifying class-
es, promoting spirit, a time of fun
and fellowship.

Thus each year the junior class
is faced with the problem of pur-
pose and policy. This year's junior
class determined that the emphasis
was to be put on the charities.

However, such terms as purpose
and motive are too personal to be
authoritatively defined. And Jun-
ior Jaunt is too expansive to be
limited. Each individual has her
own meaning of Junior Jaunt
whether it be the spirit of giving,
being broke for a week, or the
vision of a formal dance.

Purpose ?
To those who have asked, "What
specifically is the purpose of
Junior Jaunt?" I can answer that
this event arose out of a desire to
have a concertrated effort to raise
money for charity, eliminating
numerous smaller and many times
meaningless (or perhaps thought-
less) collections for projects. To
quote Nancy Kimmel of two years
ago, "Not only does a concentrated
drive protect us, . . . but it gives
us a chance to stop and seriously
think about what we are actually
doing when we give."

Beyond that I can only offer
the idealistic and optimistic ap-
proach that Junior Jaunt can be,
and I hope is, the fulfillment of
many purposes raising money,
experiencing sharing, promoting
spirit, and having a lot of fun.

For What
It's Worth

By MIMI PHILLIPS

THE CRAVIV

(with apologies to Mr. Poe)

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak ar.d weary
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore.
While I nodded nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping on the attic floor.
"Someone's broken in," I muttered, "only this and nothing more."
Remember? Well, I guess J oughta it was during Winter Quarter
And the endless homework sorta kept us up late cn my floor.
Yet this was greater cause for sorrow: vainly I had sought to borrow
Someone's notes to use tomorrow tomorrow's English 204,
For the quiz on Fielding whom the Sophomores called a bore;
They'll regret it evermore.

When the noise did scare another, she informed our brave house-
mother,

Who promptly summoned Mr. Rogers and the campus coppers to our
floor.

By now was Fielding fast forgotten as each little hotten totten

Tried to lock her chamber door.

(And someone locked the shower door,

She's a hero evermore).

The fearless coppers searched the attic, looking for the mad fanatic
But reported darkness there and nothing more.

" 'Twas a dream in some girl's napping, who thought, indeed, 'twas

someone rapping,
Yea, an evil villain tapping, tapping on the attic floor."
So spoke Mr. Rogers, "There's no danger then of crime or gore,
Now go to bed and fear no more."

When all was clear, my heart grew stronger, I could stand it then no
longer,

Up I jumped and silently unlocked my chamber door.

That day had I gone into Decatur to stock up the refrigerator

For snacks when I must stay up later, studying forgotten lore.

So now straightway I headed, headed for the kitchen door,

4 T must have a snack or I can't study anymore."

Sleepily I 'gan to mutter, '.hen in flowing terms did utter

Praises loud to Peanut Butter: "Goddess of the night she is," I swore.

"And from her may now I borrow strength to forge on till tomorrow

And tomorrow's English 204" Here I opened wide the ice box door,

Darkness there and nothing more.

"NO! I said, I can't believe it! O ye gods, help me retrieve it!
For in this ice box did I leave it, (Oh, that moment I deplore)."
Suddenly my soul did waken, and I knew just who had taken
Taken all the P. B. Oh, where shall I get more?
Stolen was it I did this mystery explore.
Let this be warning evermore:

Surely there was cause for tapping, as of someone gently rapping,

Some intruder quietly rapping, rapping on the attic floor.

With the stolen Peanut Butter, he his mouth did wish to clutter

And to get the lid off, tapping it on our attic floor.

"And that is why, sir," I did stutter, "why I failed your 204."

O I'll hide my P. B. evermore.

So when you hear the fearful screaming, and coppers with their

flashlights beaming,
And hottentots awake from dreaming, each to lock her chamber door,
Not a word must then you utter, but run retrieve your peanut butter
From the kitchen 'fore housemutter makes you hide behind your
door,

Or you'll be cravin' evermore.

Abernethy Outlines Purpose, Projects
Of Agnes Scott Mortar Board Chapter

To many students Mortar Board is a high and mighty, but mysterious, organization which
meets every Wednesday night in the Exec room. The NEWS, in conjunction with Mortar
Board president Wardie Abernethy, here presents a series of questions and answers in an
attempt to clear up this misconception.

What is Mortar Board?

Mortar Board is a campus hon-
orary designed to promote college
loyalty, to advance the spirit of
service and fellowship, to promote
and maintain a high standard of
scholarship, to recognize and en-
courage leadership, and to stimu-
late and develop a finer type of
college woman.

What does Mortar Board do to
accomplish this aim?

These ideals are integrated into
the yearly program on this cam-
pus.

How, specifically, does Mortar
Board promote loyalty at ASC?

Primarily through giving full
support and cooperation to the ad-
ministration and the four boards
on campus, but also by encourag-
ing attendance at all college spon-
sored functions, such as chapel,
lectures, Junior Jaunt, and Black-
friars plays. This year, Mortar
Board is investigating the possi-
bility of rewriting or revising the
Alma Mater.

What about advancing the spirit
of service and fellowship on cam-
pus?

Mortar Board conducts a confi-
dential campus survey of all areas
of campus life, trying to anticipate
future needs, as well as evaluat-
ing present conditions. This is div-
ided into three main areas of stu-
dent activities, buildings and
grounds, and faculty and curricu-
lum. Black Cat, marriage classes,
and ID cards for students and
faculty are sponsored by Mortar
Board. Another function is con-
ducting all major campus and class
elections. This year they will pro-
mote an explanation of the weight-
ed preferential voting system.

What does Mortar Board have
to do with scholarship?

The class scholarship trophy is
awarded by Mortar Board which
undertakes to emphasize to stu-
dents that intellectual growth is
one of the first aims of education.
However, Mortar Board feels that
this takes place not only in the
classroom but also through indiv-
idual contact with the faculty and
by taking advantage of all educa-
tional opportunities such as lec-
tures, concerts, and CA projects.
Mortar Board encourages interest
in the independent study program,
and provides a list of suggested
books for summer reading.

How does Mortar Board go
about recognizing and encourag-
ing Leadership?

Each spring after elections Mor-
tar Board sponsors a leadership
training conference for all the out-
going and incoming officers of
campus organizations and publica-
tions to help in the transition and
to preserve the continuity of cam-
pus organizations. During winter
quarter there will be a Mortar
Board-sponsored chapel speaker on
leadership.

Who belongs to Mortar Board?

Mortar Board has eleven mem-
bers now, but can have as few as
five or as many as twenty-five.
The qualifictions are nationwide,
and based on scholarship, leader-
ship, and service. The scholastic
requirement is national leadership
is described as "that leadership
which inspires others'*; service
is that "which is given unselfishly
and unpretentiously."

Is Mortar Board an officers
club, then?

By no means, but it should in-
clude all those girls who have been

unselfish in their time and abili-
ties and who have been given and
accepted the responsibilities of
leadership.

What about Mortor Board's
organization?

It is a national, senior honorary
organization on 101 campuses.

What other chapters are there
in Georgia?

Agnes Scott and the University
of Georgia have the only Mortar
Board chapters in the state.

Outside of Georgia, where are
others in the South?

Vanderbilt, University of Ten-
nessee, University of Chattanooga,
Stetson, and FSC are some of the
southern colleges and universities
with chapters.

When did Mortar Board arrive
on the ASC campus?

HO ASC (Honorary Organiza-
tion of Agnes Scott) was founded
in 1931.

Who are some of the former
members of HOASC that the stu-
dent body would know?

It would be hard to list who on
the faculty are Mortar Board al-
umnae, but Mrs. Sims and Miss
Boney are honorary members of
HOASC, and Mrs. Guerry Fain,
who was Mortar Board president
when the present senior class were
freshmen, is the section director
for the southeastern division.

Who are the present members
on Mortar Board?

Wardie Abernethy is president,
the vice president is Carolyn Haz-
ards, Annete Teague is secretary.
Barbara Varner is treasurer, and
Martha McCoy is historian-editor.
Other members are Donalyn Mc-
Tier, Mary Hammond, Runita Mc-
Curdy, Margie Erickson, Suzanne
McMillan, and Caroline Dudley.

When will the new president be
tapped?

Although the new members will
be announced in the spring, the
new president will be tapped dur-
ing the winter quarter.

Atlanta's Cuisine Adds Spice;

Children Of All Sizes Want Love, Concern;
CA Projects Offer Answer To Their Needs

Children come in all shapes and sizes. Some are tall and skinny, and some are short and
stubby. Some are blond with blue eyes, and some are brunette with brown eyes; and then
there are still others who are red headed with green eyes or even grey eyes. Some have
freckles, and some have dimples. Some wear glasses.

Some run about madly, climb
trees, ride bikes, pull wagons, and
play cowboys; but there are oth-
ers who are not able to do such
active sports. They must lie in
bed, read, and learn to do many
amusing and useful things with
their hands. Some children talk
all the time; but there are others
who stutter and have speech de-
fects, and cannot be understood
No child is like another. Each is
different. Every child has his or
her own appealing ways and prob-
lems. However, there is one thing
that they all have in common
a need for love,

Duke

Duke is eight years old. His
hair is in a short crew cut and
what there is left of it is brown.
His eyes are a deep blue, but are
hidden behind the thick glasses
that he wears. Across the bridge
of his nose there is a sprinkling
of freckles.

When I first saw him around
three months ago at the Methodist
Children's Home, he was wearing
a striped 4 T"-shirt and a pair of
worn jeans. To add to this get-up
were his beloved red cowboy
hat, gun, and holster.

Duke likes to run and play, but,
he likes most of all to draw and to
try to write "real writing". He
would run up to me as I entered
the door and show me what he
had drawn. Then he would spend
the rest of the afternoon seated
beside me drawing pictures or

Greeks Forfeit Pins, Hearts
To Conquering Scott Sirens

By JEAN CORBETT

Two more Scott girls are wearing beautiful diamonds! Very best
wishes to Jane King, who is engaged to Bona Allen, a Tech graduate;
and to Betsy Shepley, now the fiancee of Johnny Underwood, a gradu-
ate student at Emory.

Eleanor Bradley was one of the Gifted Girls Christmas. A solitaire
from Paul Calhoun made the holidays even merrier than usual.

Those Sophomore Scotties are really on the ball! Five of them came
bounding back to school after the holidays with pins.

Anne Frazier wears an ATO pin from Henry Drake, a junior at the
University of Virginia.

Gayle Rowe is wearing the Phi Kappa Sigma pin of Walt Shugart,
who is a sophomore at Washington and Lee.

Martha Ann Breitenhart went to Plebe Christmas at West Point and
came back with a pin from Gene Houchins.

Jean Corbett is pinned to Em Griffin, a senior and Theta Delta Chi
at the University of Michigan.

While Pat Rogers was visiting Jean in Tampa, she was pinned by
Max Dufeny, a THE and junior at Tech. Was it the moonlight on
Bayshore Drive, Pat ?

Junior Harriette Lamb has been sporting an ATO pin since exam
week last December. Willis Holland, a graduate of Emory (BS and
MS) and assistant state geologist, is the happy fellow.

The Freshmen can boast of two of their classmates too.
Over the holidays Ann Lee was pinned by Bill Harris, an SAE and
senior at Tech.

Jean Haynie also went to Plebe Christmas and was pinned by
Tommy Reach.

Many Scotties had the rollicking tunes of "Lil Aimer" ringing in
their ears this weekend. Nell Archer, Margaret Goodrich, Kay Rich-
ards, Carolyn Davies, Anne Dodd, Nancy Bond, Katherine Davis,
Judy Duncan, Corky Feagin, Gertrude Florrid, Harriette Lamb, Nora
Ann Simpson, Boogie Helm, Margaret Fortney, Carol Rogers, Sally
Sanford, Judy Holloway, Ray Taggart, and Karel Kwass saw the
Broadway musical at the Tower Theater.

Among the Tech supporters at the basketball game were Katherine
Hawkins, Wynn Hughes, Marian Walton, Nancy Patterson, Hollis
Smith, Nan Chipley, Harriett Glover, Sue Chipley, Betty Hopkins,
Mary Beth Howell, Peggy Mathis, Khaki White, Knox Jones, Jane
Patterson, Doris Sanders, Carolyn Shirley, Lillian Smith, Peggy
Stewart, Joyce Townsend, Betty Barber, Nancie Barr, Willie Byrd
Childress, Mary Park Cross, Mary Wayne Crymes, Marguerite Dickert,

Predictions

Now I am supposed to make
some predictions. Frankly, I've
been tossing coins for the last
hour. However, I think it boils
down to this. The freshmen have
energy and spirit, but just are not
used to each other. I think it will
take this year to coordinate them.

The other three teams are very
close. In such a fast moving and
unpredictable game as basketball
a lot is going to depend on such
things as spirit, determination,
and luck. However, if I have to
leave some team in third place, I
guess it will be the seniors.

This leaves the sophomores and
juniors who always manage to
present a threat to each other in
sports competition. On the basis
of Friday's game one would be
forced to pick the sophomores.
However, I think the juniors are
going to revive and present some-
thing like the smooth functioning
team that appeared last year. In
the final anaysis, I guess I'll stick
with last year's champions, the
class of '60.

Thus, for the 1959 basketball
season, perhaps we'll see it end up
this way:

1. Juniors.

2. Sophomores.

3. Seniors.

4. Freshmen.

their way to a 30-22 victory over the freshmen.

omores the victory.

In the second game, the juniors,
sadly lacking their old forward
Peace Fewell, managed to eke out
a victory through the inexperience
of the freshman team. The jun-
iors had the ball most of the time,
but didn't have control of the back-
board and certainly not of the
basket. The energetic freshman
team lacked only the coordinated
teamwork that comes with exper-
ience.

After Premier Grotewohl made
a formal call on Nasser, he an-
nounced that East Germany and
Egypt would establish "consular
relations." West Germany, having
declared that it would break off
relations with any nation that re-
cognized Communist East Ger-
many, sent an inquiring ambassador
who was ably reassured by Nas-
ser's aides that he had not pro-
mised East Germany recognition.
Russian Veto

West Germany had sought Nas-
ser's favor by of-,
fering him $501
million to help
build the Aswan
High Dam. How-
ever, it learned
that the Russians!

tion of the dam.

In addition, Nasser has received
other overtures from the West
since his publicized "move against
the Communists." The British
agreed to a compromise economic
settlement with Egypt by which
Britain would unfreeze Nasser's
210 million pound sterling balan-
ces. Egypt would pay $87 million
for British properties seized dur-

ing the Suez crisis. Moreover, the
British withdrew their claims for
equipment taken by the Egyptians
while Cairo would abandon its bill
against Britain for Suez war dam-
age.

Western Overtures

The United States has agreed to
sell Nasser 200,000 tons of surplus
wheat, and the French have sign-
ed a $5,000,000 barter program
with him.

Such financial settlements will
undoubtedly ease Nasser's depend-
ence on Moscow; however, such an
ameliorative effort by the West
gives one pause to consider Nas-
ser's motive. Perhaps his belated
recognition of communist danger
was merely another method of bal-
ancing his neutrality to call the
West to his side with financial
aid. However, one can also raise
the question what is the next
play should the Russians decide to
do more than mildly regret his
campaign against the Arab Com-
munists?

Frost Takes

Robert Frost Relaxes During Yearly C ampus Visit

ight During Annual Visit

BY MILDRED LOVE

Robert Frost arrived at Agnes Scott Monday, January 26, to begin a five-day visit which
has long been awaited as one of this year's highlights. During the week Mr. Frost will
take his place as a member of the college community, going to the library, or strolling
around campus.

The climax of the poet's visit
will be his lecture at eight o'clock
Friday night in Gaines Chapel.
The forecast for the evening is
frosty but warm, for Mr. Frost
will read from his poems and com-
ment on them in a chat with the
audience. A limited number of free
tickets will be available to the
public at the door.

Although many people think of
him as a native New England poet,
Robert Frost has spent his eighty-
three years in numerous localities.
Born in San Francisco, he later
moved to New England. However,
he received his poetic start in Eng-
land when his first volume, "A
Boy's Will," was published by an
English firm in 1913. Prior to this
poetic debut, Mr. Frost had been

a professor at one time of Eng-
lish and psychology.

Claiming not to have led a lit-
erary life since he has "never even
had a typewriter," Mr. Frost
nevertheless says that he always
has a place to write. (On one oc-
casion he used a closet shelf in
his hotel room as a lapboard.)
Academic Honors

To list the many honorary de-
grees which various universities
have bestowed upon him would be
a major task. In fact, so numer-
ous were Mr. Frost's academic
hoods that he had them made into
an old fashioned quilt with the
name of the school and the year
of the degree embroidered on each
hood. Two of his most recent de-
grees, however, were awarded him

by Oxford and Cambridge, univer-
sities in the country which first
hailed him and jolted his native
America into a proper, evaluation
of the work of a man who has
never officially graduated from
college.

Latest Position

Robert Frost's humorous wis-
dom is one of his well-known
traits. Of his recently attained po-
sition as Poetry Consultant for
the Library of Congress, he says
that he is a poet in waiting to be
consulted! Furthermore, he feels
his chief duty in this capacity is
to keep politicians and statesmen
aware of their responsibility to the
arts. He once defined politics as
"a decision between heart and
brain."

of atomic energy in science and
medicine.

Only "A-Bomb Reporter"

William Laurence has been re-
porting science since 1930. In 1940
he wrote the first comprehensive
account suggesting that the day
of atomic power was near. Later
the War Department gave him a
secret assignment.

He was the only reporter to see
the atomicbomb tested, and the
only reporter to see it dropped
over Japan.

Pulitzer Prize Winner

Because of his ability to clearly
state to the public the deepest
mysteries of science, William
Laurence has twice been awarded
the Pulitzer Prize. He won his first
Pulitzer in 1937, and the second
in 1946 for his eye witness ac-
count of the bombing of Nagasaki
and his series of articles on the
development, production, and sig-
nificance of the atomic bomb.

He holds an Honorary Degree
of Doctor of Science from Bos-
ton University, and honorary de-
grees from Stevens Institute of
Technology, Grinnell College, and
Yeshiva University. He is also the*
recipient of many high awards,
including the Grady Gold Metal
of the American Chemical Society.

William Laurence, will be con-
tinued by speakers to be presented
by the science departments. L.
Reed Brantley, visiting scholar
from the American Chemical So-
ciety will appear February 17 to
be followed by James N. Dent, a
University Center visiting scholar
in biology, on February 18. In
April the science lecturers will be

Lower House Campus Pulse

More than just a charming hostess for campus picnics or
alert ringer of dorm fire alarms is Lower House. Lower
House is student government just as much as "Exec" is. With
conscientious leadership it penetrates our everyday life here
on the campus. ,

Lower House is the only organization at Agnes Scott in
which each student is not represented by class members but
by a person who lives on her hall. Because of this type of
representation Lower House can do an excellent job of keep-
ing a finger on the pulse of the student body. By having a
Lower House representative from each dorm floor the needs
of individuals can be reckoned with. ,

"Hall Meetings" condulted by the Lower House respresenta-
tives have not only given Lower House a larger part in stud-
ent government but have been aids to the solution of dormi-
tory problems. Through its representation Lower House be-
comes a sounding board for each student. ,

A less tangible service which is given to the student body
by Lower House is the fine leadership which it promotes.
Many of our campus leaders obtained a sense of service and
responsibility .as Lower House representatives in the early
years of their college lives. This purpose in itself is worthy of
praise for do we not come to college to learn to take respon-
sible places as leaders in life?

Revolving around two purposes answering students'
needs and promoting leadership are Lower House's pro-
jects. These projects are all varied but each with the aim of
filling a need, achieving a purpose.

It is time Lower House has the spotlight for the fine job
it is doing. It is time for the student body to take seriously the
purpose which Lower House fills. B. G..

Exec. Examines Hub Policy

(Editor's Note: The following statement was presented by Exec, to
the student body in last Thursday's student meeting for considera-
te before a final vote is taken this week. The "News" prints the
rc( . emendation for our readers' reviewing, and urges each student
to QSicter the issue carefully before voting tomorrow.)

We, the Executive Committee of the Student Government Associa-
te of Agnes Scott College, having felt a definite need for the clari-
fic on of Hub policy during the chapel hour and having considered
th ..latter at great length, do present the following facts for your
in mation and consideration:

In 1951 smoking was allowed for the first time on the Agnes Scoct
ca. .pus in the basement of the Hub, with the permission of parents.

In 1953-54 the upstairs was opened to smokers with permission from
ho: .e.

In 1954-55 permission was not required and smoking was open to the
sti 'Ht body on the two main floors of the Hub. The feeling at this
tin was that the Hub should be closed along with the library, book-
Sto , and other offices, and that attention should be centered upon
cha-3l.

Until 1956-57 a penalty of two call downs was given for staying in
the Hub during chapel. From 1956 to the present time, the policy ef
the Hub being closed from 10:30-11:00 has operated under the Hono.
System, with no penalty being given. It is felt that the policy has
lost respect with each succeeding year.

In view of the above information and the following consideration,
drawn from student opinion, the Executive Committee makes its re-
coni.iendation.

II' -sons advocating that the Hub be opened are:

1. Chapel attendance should not be dependant upon the opening or
closing of the Hub.

2. Leaving the Hub opened will provide a central place of relax-
ation where we may smoke on campus during the 10:30-11:00 period.

3. Keeping the Hub opened provides a greater range of choice and
use of the hour.

4. Keeping the Hub open does not prohibit any staff member from
attending chapel as do the library, bookstore, Buttrick office, etc.

Reason ; for advocating that the Hub be closed are:

1. Closing the Hub indicates that the primary activity of the hour
is chapel and is an attempt to maintain this emphasis in future years.

2. Closing the Hub does not take away voluntary chapel attendance
because the choice still remains with the individual.

3. This college is enriched by the shared experiences of worship, com-
munity responsibility, educational and entertaining programs which the
chapel h< provides; and since chapel provides the only central meet-
ing place for the Student Body, it is right not to encourage a setting
for conflicting activities.

Having considered these alternatives, the Executive Committee does
propose: 1. that the Hub be closed during the chapel hour; 2. that this

Mikoyan Hails Results of Tour,
Gets No Concessions On Berlin

BY SUSIE WHITE

Last week when U. S. S. R. Deputy Premier Anastas Miko-
yan ended his visit in the U. S., the 7000 mile tour was re-
garded by a number of optimists as a real thaw in the cold
war, while officia.s in Washington were quick to declare that
no concessions on the questions of the Berlin crisis or of
trade had been made by either side.

M.koyan's reported objective

I'M SNOWED

iv fro si ?

for his trip were to convince
Americans that the Soviet dicta-
tors are nice people who can be
trusted, that things have chang-
ed since Stalin, that Communist

rule is here to stay, and that
America should deal openly and
as an equal with the Soviet Union.

On his visit, his reception over-
shadowed even those given leaders
of countries of ou.- allies. As he
Iked with busi-
ness and banking
leaders he discov-
ered that a top
Soviet leader
could come and
"sell wares" to
many Americans
even in a cold
White war.

After Seven

Famed Local "Cabin" Provides
Southern Style Menu, Flavor

Good eating, southern style, is supreme at Mammy's Shan-
ty on Peachtree, and Aunt Fanny's Cabin in near-by Smyrna.

Steak to seafood, the entire menu at Mammy's Shanty
rates superior. Mammy's specialty, "the world's best apple
pie," and coffee are perfect after a movie.

Aunt Fanny's Cabin is a real

adventure. It is actually an old
cabin in which little attempt has
been made at modernization. The
floors are uneven,
the roof looks as
though it might
leak, and a coat

colored boy carrying a blackboard.
Fried chicken, ham, and vege-
tables are served "home style".
Salad, vegetable soup, and pie
complete the meal.

Unique entertainment is pro-
vided by four small colored boys
who sing and dance to such songs

Boys!" The friendly and informal
atmosphere is a true example of
southern hospitality.

Moreover, American business-
men appeared more than interest-
ed in the Soviet's desire to buy
pipe, plastics, and machinery. In-
Jeed, in Copenhagen on his way
home, Mikoyan hailed the attitude
toward peace and war of the
American people and persons in U.
S. economic circles. However, he
expressed dissatisfaction with de-
partments dealing with the cold
war situation.

Trade Restrictions
Mikoyan particularly accused
the U. S. State Department of
continuing the cold war by re-
fusing to ease restrictions on
Soviet-American trade. In 1950
during the Korean War the U. S.
cut off practically all trade with
the U. S. S. R. In 1958 when Khru-
;hchev urged expansion in trade,
the U. S. refused long term credits,
saying that Russia would use the
money for economic warfare.
Berlin Crisis
With Secretary of State Duiles
and President Eisenhower, Miko-
yan found no yielding on the Ber-
lin crisis. When he questioned
Dulles as to the possibility of the
U. S. actually giving up its insis-
tence on free elections as a pre-
requisite to German unification,
as the U. S. press had seemed
to indicate, Dulles gave an em-
phatic "no."

Implications
Although no concessions were
made as a result of Mikoyan's
trip, it must be considered another
effort of the Soviet Union to sof-
ten the Berlin ultimatum and
preach peaceful co-existence as
well as to seek new means of re-
lieving the economic demands of
the Russian people.

Dear Faculty,

The Student Body's sincerest
and most hearty thanks go to each
of you for your wonderful sport-
manship and willingness to partici-
pate in Monday's Suppressed De-
sires Day chapel. The spirit and
good fun which you displayed then
endeared you even more to us.

It was an indication of your
never-ceasing and genuine inter-
est in our activities outside the
classroom; for that we are ever
grateful. And it was delightful
seeing and knowing you, also, out-
side the academic world.

Because you seemed to enjoy it
as much as we did, we hope in
the years to come there will be
more performances just like that
one.

Many, many thanks to you all.

The Student Body,
1958-1959.

Lapse of Faculty Inhibitions;
rde of Chapel Knitters, Mappers

Dear Editor:

Periodically we hear justified
complaints about "poor chapel at-
tendance," but seldom do we hear
about the people who go to chapel.
Is it enough to attend chapel or
does our responsibility go beyond
that?

I believe that it does, and ap-
parently I'm not too far out in left
field, for there are others who
share my concern. Frankly, be-
havior in chapel, and in convocation
especially, has some of us stand-
ing on our collective ears. Students
bring books and notes to chapel
and use them there. The clicking
and dropping of knitting needles
is no longer unusual. Some choose
to cat nap during the half hour. . . .
even in the first row!

Would leaving books outside
Pressor help? I don't know . . . but
I do feel we all ought to do some-
thing to improve our chapel be-
havior. Suggestions?
Sincerely,
Suzanne Bailey

Dear Editor:

Religious Emphasis Week is al-
most upon us! To make it a mean-
ingful week for each individual,
I would like to solicit the co-oper-
ation of the entire campus. Since
the facing of questions concerning
Christianity and committment are
completely personal actions, we
can only inform, recommend, and
hope that people will take advant-
age of the opportunities offered
during such a week of Christian
emphasis.

Dr. David H. C. Read, our speak-
er for this week, La a scholar and a
very adaquate speaker. He is known
for his ability to make Christianity
understandable and alive. I do
hope many students will person-
ally get to know Dr. Read, and
above all, will become receptive
to what he has to discuss. We can-
not afford to overlook "The Com-
pulsive Question."

Sincerely,

Sissy Daniel,

SAE s Choose Two Scotties;
Junior Jaunt Draws Visitors

BY DOLLY BATES

Congratulations are in order for Anne Whisnant and Mary Cul-
pepper who have been selected for the 1959 Sweetheart Court of
the Georgia Epsilon chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon at Emory. Anne
is a junior from Charlotte, N. C, and Mary, a sophomore from Ca-
milla, Ga. Anne, Mary and the other members of the Sweetheart
Court will be presented Friday night at the annual SAE formal in
the Biltmore Hotel.

This was a big weekend for "visiting beaux". The annual Jr. Jaunt
formal ball beckoned semester break boys from tar and near.

Eve Purdom entertained Clyde Ingle, a senior from the University
of North Carolina. Another North Carolinian was Tommy Taylor, who
was visiting Margaret Bullock.

Bill Grier paid another visit to Mary Hart Richardson this weekend
while her roommate, Katherine Hawkins, entertained Mac Lindebaugh
from Vanderbilt.

Charlotte King was escorted through the weekend by Bill ,Lind-
sey, a co-op at Tech who is working away from Atlanta this quarter.
Mickey Allen arrived Wednesday night from Wofford to pay Lisa
Ambrose an extended visit.

Culture-seekers Suzi Bailey, Jan McGeeHee, Annette Teague, and
Margaret Bullock attended the Atlanta Symphony at the Tower
Theatre.

The Bishop's Company proved a big attraction to students and
faculty alike. Among those Scotties enjoying their performances
were: Suellen Beverly, Nancy Graves, Annette Whipple, Sally San-
ford, Scotty Maddox and Ann Avant.

The Emory Sigma Chi's had a party at the Druid Hills Country
Club. Seen among the "Sigs" were Edith Towers, Carolyn West, Linda
Ingram and Marsha Lear.

Of course the big date on everyone's agenda was the formal ball,
the culmination of the Junior Jaunt week. A real transformation was
seen as crew neck sweaters and sneakers disappeared and the hoops
and full skirts whirled about!

Classes To Choose
Best Dressed Girl

"Glamour" magazine has invited
Agnes Scott to participate in their
annual search for the best dressed
girls on college campuses.

Social Council is in charge of
the arrangements on the Agnes
Scott campus. Each class will
nominate four girls and the mem-
bers of Social Council will make
the final choice. Three photo-
graphs will be sent to the editors:
a typical on-campus outfit, an
off-campus daytime outfit, and a
date dress.

There are ten points that the
girls will be judged on. These will
include such things as figure,
grooming, individuality, appro-
priate campus look, etc. A trip
to New York goes to the ten nat-
ional winners chosen by the editors
of "Glamour" from the photo-
graphs sent by colleges all over
the country.

Voting will take place on Feb-
ruary 2 in class meetings. More
information will be posted on the
Social Council bulletin board.

Fund Raising Drive
Tops Overall Goal

Two thousand one hundred and
fifty-seven dollars and forty three
cents is the total amount taken in
this year in the Junior Jaunt
charity fund raising drive, a sum
that tops the goal of $2,000 set by
the Juniors before the drive be-
gan.

As a part of the overall goal,
each class set an individual goal,
the total of the four amounts be-
ing $1,269.61. However, only $700
was raised through class projects,
the remainder coming through
overall projects such as the kick-
off party, the production, charity
ball, and outside donations. Sup-
pressed Desires Day, the largest
single money raiser, brought in
$550, all clear profit.

This total income will be some-
what altered when expenses and
taxes are deducted, and the result-
ing amount will be divided as
equally as possible among the
four charities chosen by the stu-
dent body Dr. Alexander, World
University Service, the Jolley
Home, and the Marian Howard
School.

Also revealed at the Charity
Ball on Saturday night were the
results of the class participation
competition. The system was work-
ed out so that the first time a
student participated in any pro-
ject she received a point for her
class. Then the total number of
participation points for each class
was divided by the number in the
class, giving a percentage of par-
ticipation. The Junior class won
first place, followed by the Fresh-
men, Sophomores, and Seniors in
that order.

library, after Robert Frost's seventeenth lecture at Agnes Scott.
Mr. Ferdinand Warren, head of the colege art department, is the
artist.

Warren Paints Poet Frost
During Year of Secrecy

BY MILDRED LOVE

Approximately one year ago on a Sunday afternoon, Rob-
ert Frost and Mr. Ferdinand Warren climbed the steps of
Buttrick Hall to take the initial step in beginning a portrait
of the poet. The product of two formal sittings and a year
of work by Mr. Warren is now in the Agnes Scott library.

The portrait was formally un-

veiled by Mrs. Edna Byers and
Miss Lillian Newman at the close
of Mr. Frost's lecture on January
30. Although the comparatively
secret project had been completed
before his arrival, Mr. Frost gave
the portrait his stamp of approval
before it was publicly presented
and displayed.

During the sittings, Mr. Frost
wrote poetry and chatted with the
artist. Since he has never had a
desk, he preferred to be painted
with his accustomed lapboard.

Mr. Frost had a specific request
about the manner in which it
should be painted: he asked not
to be made to look like a senator.
Thus, in addition to the two brief
sittings, Mr. Warren used such
opportunities as a dinner party
and an informal coffee to observe
the "true spirit of the man."

Mr. Warren made the portrait
completely his work by construct
ing the frame himself. Before be-
ginning the actual canvas, he made
a composition sketch which he lat-
er gave to Mr. Frost.

The portrait is being purchased
through the sale of paper-back
books in the library.

Mrs. Edna Byers, Agnes Scott
librarian, was responsible for initi-
ating the project, and for carrying
it through to the unveiling of the
portrait on January 30.

Challenge Remains

Every year during our winter quarter Religious Emphasis
Week, we are exposed to a concentrated period of talks, Hub
discussions, and chapel services. For a week the campus be-
comes intensely aware of "religion." Our intellects are chal-
lenged and our emotions aroused to confront once again the
spiritual aspect of our lives. The old questions and doubts
plague us and new ones arise to add to the confusion.

This is good, we feel; this is the purpose of
the RE week program: to stimulate us to a
confrontation and examination of our deepest
personal beliefs about the meaning of our
lives.

But sadly, in the past, we fear this is where
the process often has stopped. Left alone to
our own resources, we forget the dynamic
chapel address that has fired our imaginations*
the challenging discussion that was the be-
ginning of an adventure in faith. We have questioned, but
do we "follow through" and honestly seek a satisfactory an-
swer, left on our own?

We remember the accusation of last year's RE week speaker:
that we college students use the excuse of "questioning"
our beliefs as a defense abainst personal involvement
and committment, putting off the inevitable decision which
every man and woman must someday make about his or her
life. Are we at Agnes Scott afraid to seek an answer because
it demands too much effort, and too great a sacrifice of our-
selves?

We live in a world of indecision and compromise. Our gen-
eration desperately needs intelligent individuals who are not
afraid to question, but who also have the courage to seek a
personally satisfying answer, and once having found that,
have the courage to commit themselves to the "truth" as they
see it. CD

After Four Years

A recent visitor to this campus Connie Curry, Class of
'55 is one example of what the college-educated woman
can do once she has "that old B. A." in her hot little fist.
Her senior year at Agnes Scott, Connie was President of
Student Government and Regional Chairman for the Nation-
al Student Association at one and the same time. In her
spare time she managed to become a Ful-
bright scholar.

Upon graduation, Connie went to Bor-
deaux, France, to spend a year studying
at the University there; during that time
she lived with a French family. She had been
a history and political science major at Scott;
during 1956-1957, she was at Columbia Uni-
versity worbing on her M. A. In September,
1957, Connie became the Field Representa-
tive for the Collegiate Council for the Unit-
ed Nations.

Representing CCUN to colleges all over the nation, Connie
has traveled to the four corners of the U. S. A. Her job is
to interest students in the United Nations and to invite them
to join the student organization which seeks to spread know-
ledge about the U. N. among fellow students.

When she came to Agnes Scott, she had just finished a
two-week tour of Florida, visiting more than fifteen colleges
and universities. While in Georgia, she combined business
with pleasure, visiting schools in the Atlanta area as well as
renewing acquaintances made while she was a student at
Agnes Scott. As a result of her visit the CCUN member
groups in Atlanta will sponsor a Model U. N. Security Coun-
cil to be held in April. At this facsimile of the U. N. body,
eleven delegates from eleven different schools in this area,
representing the eleven nations on the Security Council, will
debate one of the questions now before the real U. N. Each
delegate will try as nearly as possible to take the attitude
toward the topic which the country he is representing would
take. To determine this attitude, he will carefully study
material sent him by the embassy or the U. N. mission of that
country.

In the four short years since her graduation from Agnes
Scott, Connie has seen almost all of her own country and
most of Europe while working at a thrilling career an ac-
complishment which many strive for and few obtain, but
one which offers a hope and a challange to those of us who
are preparing to brave the world and to make a place in it
for ourselves. SA.C.

Variety in entertainment offers
"the spice" for a valentine week-
end.

Jose Greco, world famous Span-
ish dancer, appears in a single
performance at the Tower Theatre,
February 12. His troupe of Spanish
dancers, singers, and musicians
will also perform.

February 12 also marks the op-

Lemmon, bongo fan, and Ernie
Kovacs add to the comedy which
also includes two "weird sisters."
Unusual scenery and lighting, and
the clever dialogue complete the
"charm" of the film.

Fnr Wha
Its Worth

By MIMI PHILLIPS

nvolved in a conversation
pression. (I seem to have

Several days ago I happened to g
involving the involved problems of se
a few, don't you think?) One of the other interlocutors threw out the
question, Why-don't-we-have-more-Creative-Writing-at-Agnes-Scolct ?
The ensuing remarks on the part of certain others in the group were
quite revealing of several trends of thought, attitude, prespective
and such related jazz which are prevalent on this campus.

A (the names have been changed to protect my hide): "We don't
have time to write creatively. Curriculum plus all the outside activi-
ties consume most of our waking hours, the rest has to be devoted
to relaxation. Not only does it take time to write but it takes an
uncluttered mind to think creatively. Imagination and the deep stir-
rings of sentiment which impel one to write come only to a recep-
tive mind, one whose consciousness isn't always filled with extensional
thoughts.

B: No, Ace, you're wrong. If someone has an artistic temperament it
will make itself felt in his thought in spite of any external conditions.
He will daydream; he will seek the aesthetic value of things almost
unconsciously, thus he will react on two levels to nearly all that he
does or that happens to him. When he gets the urge to wate some-
thing he'll chuck everything, even studies to do it.

A: All right then, why don't we have anybody writing creatively
on this campus?

B: I don't know. Maybe there's just no talent here.

C. Don't be funny. Of course there's talent here. Just look, the
place is lousy with talent, latent talent, that is. What we really need
is stimulation.

Writing is a pretty passionate business, and if you have no passion
in your life, you're kind of out of it as far as being able to communicate
anything very exalted goes. Now where is the passion here? You don't
see anybody getting very hopped up over anything really. Call it apa-
thy, but even that is a rather apathetic word. Why not call it a painful
lack of passion ?

D: Yes, why not do just that. Your might give it a name but you'll
never be able to really put your finger on it. Is the source the strange
unrealistic conglomeration of clearly definable types among the stu-
dent body, is it the faculty, or maybe rules and policies governing
social life. Whatever it is, it is so subtle that it insidiously creeps
up on us with an enveloping vapor, sorta like that mess out in front of
the dining hall. It saps us of a certain amount of individuality, gusto,
or "lust for life" which cannot be lacking in the creative writer.

A: Now just a minute. Are you saying that this place has an at-
mosphere that changes people or kind of hypnotizes them, and squel-
ches creatively?

B: I'll sure go along with that.

C: That's funny. A minute ago you said there was no talent here.
B: I'm all mixed up.

D: All right I'll clear the whole thing up. We've got the talent, at
least as much as any other college, and we've pretty much agreed
(or at least I've decided) that time is not a legitimate excuse, that
if someone Ls going to daydream and write he'll do it under even the
most unfavorable circumstances (cf. Pasternak, Milton etc.). O. K.
So what we need is something to daydream about, something which
requires a rather violent reaction one way or the other, or even.

A: (A Joyce enthusiast) Oh, you mean no one is going forth "for
the millionth time to encounter the reality of experience"?

B: Oh, why James Joyce said that, didn't he. Why, I even believe
he said it in Portrait of the Artist, didn't he?

A: Who are you trying to impress? We all know that's the only
thing of J. J.'s you've ever read.

B: It is not. I read some of his poetry one time.

All: He didn't write any poetry.

B: Oh, that's right. I must have been thinking about Joyce Kilmer.
(Everyone winces)

C: NO NO NO I don't believe you said that. Get thee hence lest
thou defile this holp place and the muse, offended, shall depart.

B: Oh, that sounds like Shakespeare.

C: Thanks, it was me. Now what about this jazz about nobody
meeting with any reality of experience in these parts?

D: Oh, you know how it is here. Like I said, you just can't put your
finger on it, but you all the time feel like you're walking about six
inches off the ground.

A: Not if you abide by the drinking code.

B: Don't be funny.

D: You know what I mean. Its something unrealistic, too ideal, too
unbelievable about this place which kind of distorts our picture
of the real world, and lulls us into a state thoroughly opposed to the
creative frame of mind.

At this point the conversation sort of degenerated. It was being
carried on simultaneously with a bridge game, and when B said "But I
thought clubs were trumps" it kind of broke the trend of thought.
For What Its Worth, I was not one of the quoted interlocutors .because
if you ask me, we have an exceptionally good, and unusually intense
though undeveloped, critical atmosphere, which we ought to develop
to the fullest. It may stifle the creative a little, but it can't be used
as an alibi for why people don't write creatively, and it certainly has
in it the possibility of giving us a very definite sense of reaity.

This is an era of criticism, and if Agnes Scott can make a name
for itself in this field, we can well be proud. Once we have taken
full advantage of this potential, the thought, interest, and extension
involved may change or improve our atmosphere and afford a more
"passionate" setting for the creative.

Moscow Gathering
Backs Soviet Plans

BY SUSIE WHITE

For the second time in 14 months
the leaders of International Com-
munism met in Moscow to assess
the standing of the Party in the
world and to celebrate Soviet suc-
cesses and plans for the future.

The 21st Congress was attended

by 1,375 Soviet
delegates and re-
presentatives of
70 foreign Com-
munist parties
who hiad been
called to approve
Khrushchev's new

7 year plan of reforms in agri-
culture, industrial management,
and education. However, profes-
sions of Soviet successes were des-
tined to include discussions con-
cerning the effects of Communist
assistance to underdeveloped na-
tions, the influence of China's
experimental Communism, the pos-
sibilities of bettering trade rela-
tions with the West, and the policy
objectives in Berlin and Central
Europe.

The talks by Khrushchev indicat-
ed the necessity of improved trade
relations for further economic de-
velopment. Foreign Communist
nations were called on to facilitate
the coordination of their economic
planning with that of the Soviet
Union.

Valentines Brings New Sweethearts;
Scott Maintains Sigma Chi "Monopoly"

BY LIL HART

Round and round the wheel of fortune goes. Where it will stop, no one knows. Will she
be a blond, a brunette, or a red head? Will she be tall, or short, or medium height? Just
who will wear this sweetheart pin? Whether it be diamond shaped, or cross shaped, or rec-
tangular, or round, the girl is starry-eyed and all smiles when the wheel of fortune points
her way.

Beautiful roses, serenades, and
congratulations go to the lucky
young "miss" whom the fraternity
picks as their sweetheart. Life
seems a dream a wonderful, gala,
fantastic world. But, all is not
rosy, there is work to be done:
names to memorize, faces with
which to associate them, hostess-
ing to do, rush girls to find, per-
missions to be approved, and dan-
ces to attend. With so much to do,
where does one begin?

Last fall Becky Wilson, Beta
sweetheart, joined the group ask-
ing the lucky freshmen to rush at
fraternity parties; this means
make the young men feel welcome.
In the mad scramble for girls and
those necessary chaperones, she
ran into Susannah Masten, Sigma
Pi sweetheart, and Anne Dodd, Chi
Phi sweetheart, doing the same
thing.

"Yes, the party is a French
Apache . . . That means get a
costume . . . I'll put your name
down for Friday night . . . We'll
leave from Rebekah Rec room . . .
Be there at eight sharp ... I'll
sign you out . . . But you be sure
and sign in . . . Ask an upper-
classman about the costumes, they
are whizzes so original . . . they'll
tell you all about them, they are
old hands at this rushing . . . Oh,
you would rather go Saturday
night because Susie Smith is go-
ing then . . . Well, that night is
full . . . How about next Friday...?

For days and weeks names are
jumbled, switched, and rearrang-
ed. Finally, the big night arrives.
Invariably there is a car or chap-
erone too many or too few as the
case may be. This is all in a year's
work just ask Liz Acree, the
Sigma Nu sweetheart.

The nights that the girls are
chosen are ones never to be for-
gotten. "Bitty" Betty Lewis, for-
mer S.A.E. sweetheart, found her-

Betty scored and received the love-

Rivalry Reigns On Gym Floor
As Classes Fight For Crown

BY SYLVIA SAXON

The basketball season is well under way and it is difficult
to determine who will land on top at the season's end. As it
stands now, the juniors are the only undefeated team with
three victories. The other three teams are tied with one vic-
tory and two losses.

The juniors are assured of at
least a tie for first, but the race
isn't over yet, and let all upper-
classmen beware the freshman
team. Last week's victory over the
potent soph team shows they are
capable of knocking off any team.

The games week before last
were most exciting: the seniors,
showing an improved form after
the first game, topped the eager
frosh team. Seniors Hughes, Currie,
McMillan and Mitchell aced the
win. For the frosh it was a disap-
pointing loss; the team is fast
working as a unit and provides
strong argument that it is not to
be excluded from the race. Genie
McLemore, the fast little forward,
has shown promise in all three
games as has Meade Boswell. In
the senior game, Boswell continu-
ally outjumped the taller senior
guards to get the rebounds.

The sophomores, clicking beau-
tifully all season, had a severe
handicap in the game with the
juniors as Peagler and Robertson
were both out. However, the team
played exceptionally well despite
that fact, and almost defeated the
juniors in the last quarter of the
game. The soph forwards, though
short, are by far the fastest break-
ing scoring trio. They continually
break and weave through defenses,
waiting for THE chance to score . .
and they seldom miss.

The juniors, after a ragged first
appearance, seem to have found
their old form. Their play has im-
proved considerably and they seem
to have filled the vacant scoring
gap. It was strickly a team victory
over the sophs, not a "one-man"
kind of show.

Internationally

(Continued from page 3)
ever, he outlined unswerving So-
viet proposals for German settle-
ment, declaring that West Ger-
many's demands were unreason-
able.

The Congress was successful in
providing the necessary protesta-
tions of unity to back Soviet econ-
omic and diplomatic policy. Prem-
ier Chou En-lai of Red China as-
serted that China and the Soviet
Union had a "common destiny and
Che same interests," and their
friendship was "eternal and invio-
lable." Moreover, he declared that
the welfare of all the countries de-
ponded on the welfare of the So-
viet Union.

Therefore Khrushchev, by a dis-
play of unity and strength in the
Congress, has again reminded the
West of its formidable opposition.

R. E. Week Meaningful, Effective, Well-Organized Students Say

As a means of evaluating Reli-
gious Emphasis Week, Lower
House sponsored a campus poll in
which students expressed their
opinions.

Jo Jarrell: "Religious Emphasis
Week was a great stimulus to most
people, I think.
Although the
Hub discussions
weren't extreme-
ly well attended,
I felt that the
basic problems
confronting
young people of college age were

brought up; and stimulating dis-
cussion resulted."

Mary Ann Fowlkes: "I think the
organization of Religious Empha-
sis Week was very good. In my
opinion, the Hub discussions were
the most meaningful part of the
week.

"One weakness
of the week, I
think, was the
great demand
made upon the
speaker for many
different types of
occasions. H i s

full schedule necessitated his re-
peating himself numerous times,
along with speaking to groups with
whom he did not have much in
common."

Margaret Roberts: "I think it
was effective on the whole, but I
think it could
have been more
effective if
there had been
more time for
independent
thinking. I think
morning watches ^
would be appropriate during RE

Week. People should have or take
the opportunity to think over what
the speaker said."

Joyce Spivey: "The Hub discus-
sions are very worthwhile because
they give any
students who
wish, a chance
to question

points brought
out in Chapel,
besides any other
questions that
they might want to discuss.

"Havin a religious speaker in
Chapel the following week was an

effective carry-over of RE Week."

Robin Rudolph: "I did not feel
I had time to go to the Hub dis-
cussions and to the Chapel talks,
so I went to Chapel.

"I felt calm
during RE Week.
It was a time I
decided to forget
other, worldly I
things and con- ^ %
centrate on re- f
ligion. Calmness

seems to be the best word I can
use for what I got out of RE
Week."

Georgia Foundation Donations
Go To Nine Private Colleges

The Georgia Foundation for Independent Colleges has
distributed $72,500 to the state's four-year, accredited, pri-
vate colleges not supported by taxes during 1958. More than
175 businesses and other friends have made contributions to
the united fund for independent higher education.

A $2,000 gift from Standard Oil
Company, Incorporated in Ken-
tucky, was one of the year's final
contributions to the Foundation,
which is a channel for year-to-
year support of member colleges
by business, industry, individuals,
and foundations.

Increased Gifts
The amount contributed to the
Foundation in 1958 is a $25,000
increase over 1957 gifts. The num-
ber of individual contributions has
doubled.

Unless otherwise designated by
donors, 60 per cent of each con-
tribution is divided equally among
the member colleges, and 40 per
cent is divided on the basis of en-
rollment. The nine member col-
leges which share in the gifts are
Mercer, Emory, Agnes Scott, Wes-
leyan, LaGrange, Shorter, Tift,
Oglethorpe, and Brenau.

Students in the nine institu-
tions comprise 19 per cent of
Georgia's enrollment in senior
colleges and universities accredited

by the Southern Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools,
regional accreditation agency.
Member colleges of the Founda-
tion represent more than 16 per
cent of the state's enrollment in
all institutions of higher educa-
tion, including two-year institu-
tions and theological seminaries.
Salary Supplements

Undesignated contributions to
the Foundation for Independent
Colleges currently are used for
faculty salaries. In the .two years
since the Foundation was acti-
vated by a gift from Plantation
Pipe Line Foundation, business
and industry has given $115,000
to private colleges through the
association.

Banks comprise the largest gen-
eral classification of contributors,
according to Luther Smith, execu-
tive secretary of the Foundation.
Fourteen per cent of the 175 sup-
porters are banks and financial
institutions. The average contri-
bution has exceeded $650.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, February 18, 1959

Is Holiday Necessary?

Up until 1957, the entire college community celebrated
Founder's Day each February 22, in honor of George Washing-
ton Scott. That year the administration revoked the tradi-
tional holiday, reportedly because little attention was paid
by the students to the meaning behind the observance.

We of the editorial staff feel strongly that
such a holiday should be annually observed.
We proffer here our reasons for wishing to
see a holiday re-installed in the hope that
the administration will review our case and
find it reasonable to grant our request.

First of all, whether we like to admit it
or not, we are a college of strong traditions.
In a world which attaches little meaning to
old customs, we take pride in the traditions
which have made Agnes Scott the college it is. For the sake
of tradition then, we would like to see a special day set aside
for our founder, whose life exemplified those ideals for which
we strive.

Secondly, and most important, we feel that the holiday
observed in previous years was a welcome break during the
ofttimes "grind" of our winter quarter both for students
and faculty. Psychologically speaking, it would give our
morale a real "lift" amid dark, rainy days.

We are asking that the administration seriously consider
our request, and if it does not see fit to grant it, give us valid
reasons for doing away with the traditional holiday. CD

Too Much Trouble . . .

Since a disregard for the dress policy has been evident in
many incidents this year, a re-evaluation of this policy is
needed. Is this dress policy just another set of rules which
must be obeyed and be broken when they prove an incon-
venience? Is a dress policy necessary?

First, the dress policy is not just another
set of rules. It is definitely in keeping with
the Agnes Scott purpose: to aid each student
in becoming a gracious woman. The policy
is a code in positive terms with an emphasis
on neatness and correct dress for different
occasions. It should be a help, not a hindrance.

The dress policy is necessary, for in the
college community there must be some order.

The policy is not only for appearance's sake:
many Atlantans obtain opinions of Scott by noticing the dress
of a student, but the policy is also for our own sake. If we
don't learn now how to be neat and to suffer a little incon-
venience when will we learn?

Many cannot see this purpose and need in the dress policy.
Consequently when it becomes inconvenient to keep, it is
broken; people come to meals other than on the week-ends
with their hair rolled up, bermudas are worn indiscriminate
of time or place, often concealed by a coat, and pajamas are
sometimes seen outside of dorms.

What can be done to enforce this policy? In past years
breaking the policy meant a campus. Up until three years ago
the dress policy was under the call down system. It is now
under the honor system. The question is: does the honor
system work in this phase of our campus life, or is it time for
Exec to step back in? BG

Histories Of Years

Making Ethical Decisions, Kee

Instead of giving answers to spe-
cific and psrplexing ethical ques-
tions, this little book tries to
show ways in which a person may
find such answers and how to
find further resources within the
Bible to aid in making ethical
decisions. (171.1)

Nicholas Berdyaev: Captive of
Freedom, Spinka This is a fas-
cinating study of one of modern
Russia's greatest philosophers.
Born in 1874, Berdyaev lived
through the Revolution, acutely
feeling the guilt brought on by his
participation in the Revolution's
horror. From Marxism he turned
to Christianity to find an answer
and a faith. The author traces the
world Berdyaev revolted against
and the faith he lived. (197.)

Athenian Democracy, Jones
This is a collection of articles
previously published in British
scholarly journals, all of which
deal with the democratic struc-
ture of Athens, its economy, cri-
tics, society, and expediency. Ex-
cellent for research papers, this
book is probably too "learned"
for leisure reading. (321.4)

The Isolationist Impulse, Adler
The opposing ideas of isolation-
ism and internationalism are here
examined and contrasted, along
with the great influence that
isolationism has had on our coun-
try's policies for nearly 200 years.
Analyzed, too, are the men and
organizations which have exerted
the strongest isolationist influence.
The complete story of the role
played by one of these men Char-
les Lindbergh is here told for
the first time. (327.73)

Naught for Your Comfort, Hud-
dleston A slashing, passionate
attack by a respected Anglican
priest on South Africa's "apart-
heid" policy of complete segrega-
tion, this book is "intended to
change the course of events." Its
author does not pretend to speak
impartially, but, as a 12-year resi-
dent of South Africa and as a
Christian, deeply opposes the poli-
cies of the world's most segregat-
ed country, and the frustrations,
brutality and crime which are its
immediate by-products. (968)

From the Other Shore, Herzen
Here one of Russia's great social
thinkers and journalists writes
his political testament in a collec-
tion of essays and dialogues writ-
ten during the exciting and dis-
illusioning years of 1847 to 1851.
Herzen was a fiery political writer
and his defense of the Russian mas-
ses' integrity has renewed interest
today. (942.28)

Story of a Year: 1848, Postgate
This book is one of the most un-
usual and interesting in the library
and should probably be read
by everyone with even the slight-
est historical sense. All the great
and tragic and petty events of a
great and tragic year of revolu-
tions throughout the world are
detailed here with wit and scholar-
ship. Great names appear through
the pages in their various roles
of revolution or reaction. (940.28)

Afternoon of An Author, Fitz-
geraldThis is a collection of 14
short stories and 6 essays, never
before published in book form,
by one of America's great writers.
These stones and essays range
from Fitzgerald's earnest, naively
modern 1928 style to the luminous,
cool intensity of his later work,
yet all contain the curious "double
perspective" of involvement and
observation which marked his
genius and his understanding.

International ly S peaking

lone "Robin" Signals Thaw
In Tenth Year of Cold War

By SUSIE WHITE

As signs of a thaw in the cold war appeared recently in
Russian strategy on the Berlin question, Secretary of State
Dulles made a quick trip to Europe to insure the united
front of the Western Allies.

Having shown the strength of
International Communism at the
Communist Party Congress in
Moscow, the So-
viet leaders first
asserted their po-
sition in Berlin
by barring a U.
S. Army convoy
from re-entering
West Germany
for 54 hours. However

the

tances measures to which
other Allies have objected.
Allied Agreements
Completing his diplomatic tour
of the European cities of London,
Paris, and Bonn, Dulles voiced
encouragement at the "unity, un-
derstanding and resolution" of the
Allies. The West thus reasserted
its stand on basic issues.

Allied troops would stay in Ber-
the troops I to and be prepared for a possible

were released in addition to five
American soldiers held prisoners
in East Germany for weeks.

Following these ameliorative
tactics, Khrushchev extended an
invitation to Eisenhower to visit
Moscow, professing his concern to
prevent war.

Western Policy Conference

In response to the Soviet trend
Western diplomats conferred in
order to iron out their basic dif-
ferences on the procedures for
dealing with Russia. The British
have been prepared to accept a
Soviet transfer to East German
Reds of control over routes into
West Berlin from West Germany.

Moreover, they have proposed
various means of withdrawing all
military forces on both sides of
the Iron Curtain to agreed dis-

blockade. There would be no ac-
ceptance of any substitution of
East Germany for the Soviet Un-
ion in responsibilities toward Ber-
lin and obligations to the West.
There would be no concessions
without counter-concessions and
unilateral concessoins.

Future Conference

The Allies also agreed that a
conference should be held with
Russia, the date being named by
the Soviet Union.

However, although the Allies
prepared for negotiations, there
was a recognition that neither the
West nor Russia has made any
basic policy changes and that, to
quote a U. S. diplomat, "One
robin does not make a spring, nor
does Soviet talk of peace mean
real peace."

Winter Formats, House Party
Attract Belles Despite Deluge

DOLLY BATES

Rainy skies and the oppressive fog did their best to keep Scotties
marooned this weekend. But all to no avail! Davidson, V. P. I., the
University of Georgia, Florida State University, and the University
of South Carolina drew Scott gals to far away places.

Davidson proved the number one attraction, coming up with the
grand total of twenty six Scott girls at their annual Mid-Winter's
fabulous weekend. Lisa Ambrose, Nancy Batson, Betsy Boatwright,
Elizabeth Withers, Panni Doar, Jo Claridy, Polly Brooks, June Con-
nally, Harriot Cox, Phyllis Cox, Sue Grey, Kathy Kemp, Linda Ker-
ley, Martha Lambeth, Helen Mabry, Nancy Moore, Polly Page, Ann
Rivers Payne, Lebby Rogers, Joanna Russell, Betty Shannon, Pete
Brown, LU Hart, Martha McKinney, and Jane Nabors numbered
among the Davidson dates.

Rinda Gay Fowkes, Dawneda Fowler, Vicky Allen and Gale Hersh-
berger journeyed to V.P.I, for their Winter Formal, while Sally Gordy
found her entertainment at the University of Georgia this weekend.

Jane Prevost and Lucy Scales were bragging about their fine time
at the University of South Carolina. But Rae Carole Hosack traveled
to Florida to find some sunshine F. S. U.!

But it would appear that those remaining in Atlanta were not out-
done by the "vacationing weekenders". The SAE's had a house party
at their own house which attracted Carey Bowen, Cynthia Butts,
Becky Davis, Mary Dunn, Betty Gzechowicz, Jan Heard, Norris
Johnston, Jane Kelly, Ann Lee, Betty Lewis, Millie McCravey, Jorie
Muller, Suzanne Pickens, Joyce Seay, Ray Taggart, Virginia Thomas,
and Betty Sue Wyatt.

Marion Barry, Nancy Bond, Margaret Collins, Lydia Dwen, Pat
Flythe, Kay Lamb, Betsy Lunz, Margaret Roberts, Sally Smith, Ann
Womeldorf, Betty Pancake, and Anne Broad were among the Pres-
byterians at the Rock Eagle Conference.

Karol Kay Bussard, Ann Broad, Cissie Harris, Helen Clyde Here-
ford, Joyce Spivey, and Peggy Stewart saw Tech play Oklahoma
City in basketball.

And congratulations to Bessie Murphy, Georgeanne Richardson,
Jane Cooper, Molly Schwab, and Nancy Hall who "bit the dust"
within the past couple weeks. Bessie's pin is from Bill Lee a N. C.
State graduate; and Georgeanne's Kappa Sig pin is from Bob Mitchell.

Juniors, Seniors Clutch Lead
As Net Season Nears Close

BY NANCY DUVALL

In the first games of the second half of the basketball sea-
son the juniors and seniors won their games to- put them in
first and second place respectively. Current standings are:
Juniors 4-0, Seniors 2-2, Sophomores 1-3, Freshmen 1-3.

The seniors dominated their i
game with the freshmen and were
never threatened. They had the
advantage of height and they
worked in close to the basket.

The freshmen forwards stayed
out from under the basket and
shot from way out. They made
some beautiful shots, but it takes
a lot of consistent hitting to make
up for the disadvantage in dis-
tance. This gap the freshmen
couldn't fiU, and thus they lost
the game 37-21.

Junior-Sophomore Game

The 32-19 score in the junior-
sophomore game gives a false im-
pression. Actually, the game was
very close until the fourth quarter
when the juniors pulled away.

The juniors led the first half,
but lost the lead for a few min-
utes and had to fight desperately
hard to bring the score back to
a tie of 15-15 as the half ended.

Crucial Quarter

The third quarter saw the lead
change hands many times. It
wasn't until the fourth quarter
that the juniors maintained their
advantage.

The game was fast and furious
with relatively few errors. The
sophomore guards were exception-
ally adept at stealing the ball.
Excitement ran high as the two
teams exchanged goal for goal.

Friday's game promises to be
interesting as the seniors and
juniors meet, and the sophomores
and freshmen tangle.

Basketball Managers

Now is a good time to recog-
nize the fine job being done by
basketball manager, Sibley Robert-
son. She has had excellent assist-
ance from class managers Ruth
Currie, Jane Norman, Ann Peag-
ler, and Genie McLemore. And
the captains Wynn Hughes,
Becky Evans, co-captains Pam
Sylvester and Tish Moye, and
freshman captain Kayanne Shoff-
ner have done a commendable
job of sparking their teams and
keeping things running smoothly.

Man Against Himself

Since the turn of the century, man has made immense
strides in conquering his environment. In the last sixty years
alone, we have developed air travel, the auto, the common
light bulb, conquered numerous diseases, and harnassed un-
limited power in the atom. We are on the threshold of outer
space with the universe ready to open before us. Our life ex-
pectancy climbs daily, with every indication that it will
continue to do so, and our lives become more comfortable
each day.

Yet, here in the midst of scientific and
engineering marvels, we come face to face
with the reality that man is master of his
i world but not of himself. While man has
increased a thousandfold his ability to do
good, there has been no change in the hate
and prejudice that fills our world.

Here in our own country, in the land of
the free and plenty, white and black stand
apart. We saw the Jews of Europe extermi-
nated as animals might be, and today the Chinese are part
of a tremendous movement which has succeeded in remov-
ing all individuality from the human race. In Africa we see
the same rift between the whites and Negroes as exists in
America.

Our generation has known no peace and it does not seem
likely that we ever will, for even now the two mightiest
nations in the world stand at bay with terrible weapons
which could annihilate mankind.

We wonder what causes man to follow this path of un-
happiness when our basic urge tells us that the most fruit-
ful way is that of understanding and love for our fellow
beings. . . Utopia, where are you? CF

The above results have been compiled by a week-to-week survey
by the Executive Committee at the request of members of the stu-
dent body who have been appalled at the seeming lack of considera-
tion at Wednesday Convocations. It seems to me that the statistics
speak for themselves. Before the survey was completed I felt that
what appeared to be a "seeming lack of consideration" was in actu-
ality an evidence of poor management of time.

However, after having observed numerous instances of letter-
writing, knitting, or "other than last minute cramming," even to the
point of reading newspapers, I sincerely question our maturity and
good judgment. Perhaps the student body as a whole is not aware
of what the speaker sees as he stands on the podium ready to address
an audience or perhaps it does not matter. I sincerely urge our con-
sideration for ourselves, for each other, and for our guest speakers.

New Books Reveal
Roosevelt, Thoreau

Sunrise at Campobello, Senary
A hit play now on Broadway,
this is the story of Franklin
Roosevelt's early years, from his
first illness at Campobello in 1921,
to the moment he nominated Al
Smith for the presidency in 1924,
and in so doing became his party's
most attractive political person-
ality, and later its greatest. 812.5

The Yoke and the Arrows, Mat-
thews Written in 1957 by the
New York Times', Herbert Mat-
thews, veteran reporter of the
1936-39 Spanish Civil War, this
is probably the most up-to-daie
and best-balanced book on the
Civil War, Franco, and the forces
at work in present-day Spain.
Matthews makes clear the facts
about the contesting forces and
ideologies of the war which
served as a rehearsal for the
world conflict that followed, and
more important, gives vivid, fac-
tual reports on dictator Franco,
the Spanish Church, the economy,
the people, and the American role
in Spain. 946.08

The Tragic Vision and the Chris-
tian Faith, Scott Twelve schol-
ars here try to reassess the un-
derstanding of the human prob-
lem by some major writers who
have comprehended the human
story in terms of a tragic per-
spective. The editors, guided by j
a Christian orientation, examine
the relation of Christian faith to
the "tragic vision" of such writers
as Nietzshe, Freud, Milton, Gothe,
Faulkner, Shakespeare, Pascal,
and Dostoievski. 801.

Perry Miller Henry David Tho-
reau's "lost journal," found only
two years ago and now published
for the first time, dates from his
23rd year (1840), and like the
rest of his Journal, reveals Tho-
reau as writer, transcendentalist
and outsider. Struggling with New
England conformity, failure as an
author, and his own grandiose
concept of himself, in his journal
he wrote for fame and posterity.
818.3.

Two books one written in
1942 and dealing with the period
leading up to the Second World
War; the other, a military history
of the war in Europe, written in
1952 are interesting because of
the light they throw on the causes
and climax of total war.

World in Trance, Schwarzs-
child, is an authoritative history
of what the author calls "Ger-
many's war against the world" in
the period 1918-1939, and of the | fiff Qf 5eVGf?
spirit of appeasement, the con- 1
fusion and misguided utopianism
of those years. The author's con-
clusion, that civilization, order,
and law depend on weapons and
power held by the democracies
to deter aggression and war, is
only too pertinent today, 17 years
later. 940.5.

Cyprus To Become Independent
Via Three-Power Compromise

BY SUSIE WHITE

After four years of bombings and murder, the disputes of
the British colony of Cyprus moved toward solution last
week as representatives of Britain, Greece, Turkey, and
Cyprus initialed an agreement to establish an independent
Republic of Cyprus.

deres abandoned his demand that
Britain partition Cyprus its 400.-
000 Greek and 100,000 Turkish in-
habitants. Karamanlis renounced
the Greek desire for union of Cy-
prus with Greece.

Agreement Provisions
Cyprus, they concluded, was to
become a U. S. -style republic and
probably a member of NATO,

by Nasser's annexation of Syria thus being allied to both Greece

and by Communist infiltration in
Iraq needed friendship with
Greece to secure their western
border.

Turning Point

The turning point for Greece
came when she failed to get a
strong U. N. resolution on Cyprus

and Turkey. Moreover, Britain
would be able to maintain its
bases on the island which has
been its main military bastion m
the eastern Mediterranean.

To the British peace in Cyprus,
the renewal of friendship with
Greece, and the re-establishment

last December after winning little > of NATO unity far outweighed

the loss of a British colony. How-
ever, it will be approximately six
months before a bill will be passed
in the British Parliament making

Turkey's Premier Adnan Me- 1 the capitulation a reality.

Chester Wilmot's The Straggle
lor Europe, is a very detail' !
factual one-vcl'Jme history of the
war > EOfCrpe based on both
Allien and enemy sources. It de-
scribes how the war was fought
on all fronts Mediterranean,

of the world's big questions: why
Hitler let the British escape at
Dunkerque; why he decided to
invade Russia, and why he was
fooled by the Normandy invasion.

Club. Using her knowledge of
fashion trends, she was a member
of the College Board in one of the
big department stores in Augusta
last summer.

As Anne Dodd, chairman of So-
cial Council, expressed it, "Becky
is very representative of the
Agnes Scott ideal. It is evident
that she has all the qualities that
are needed to have an excellent
chance to be among the 'ten best-
dressed.' "

Criteria For Judgment

Besides a good figure and beau-
tiful posture, she was judged on
impeccable grooming, imagina-
tion, understanding, individuality,
and appropriateness of her ward-
robe both for on-campus and off-
campus occasions. Candidates
from the four classes were judged
by these points and from their
general appearance all during the
year.

Three pictures of Becky in a
cocktail dress, a pretty day-time
dress, and a campus outfit, will
be sent to Glamour by the first
of March. If she should place
among the "ten", she will go to
New York and "wine and dine"
as a guest of Glamour magazine.
Besides seeing the sights and
having interviews, she will prob-
ably be on TV. Last year the
winners of the 1958 contest ap-
peared on the Dave Garroway
Show.

Seniors Topple Juniors,21-20;
Sophs Score With Teamwork

BY SYLVIA SAXON

The games last week were fast, furious, and fascinating as
the seniors edged the juniors 21-20 and the sophomores sank
the freshmen 32-20.

In the first game between the
seniors and juniors, both teams
seemed sluggish and both offenses
bogged down. However, the de-
fenses were excellent and hawked
the opposing offenses continually.
Moore, Harris, Mitchell, and Mac-
Millan taunted the juniors with
their man-to-man defense system.

It was evident
I that the junior
(shooting eye was
below par and
the senior defense
picked the boards
clean with re-
I bound after re-
wound At the
other end of the
court, the junior defenses dogged
the senior scoring unit.

Junior Defense

With their zone defenses, the
juniors kept the seniors far out
enough to prevent their shooting
with great accuracy. Muse was
particularly effective as she
blocked shot after shot and re-
bounded potently. Norman and
Duvall broke up key plays and
also rebounded very well.

Senior Bally

The last seven minutes of the
game were most exciting: through-
out the game prior to that time
the juniors were ahead, but could
not manage to pull away. Then
as the fourth quarter began,
Hughes, who had done some good
shooting, was hurt and had to
leave the game. All hope seemed
to drain from the senior bench
as they sensed a sure defeat. But
the senior team surged on to the
court to tie the game with a field
goal and a free throw and another
field goal to go ahead 21-18.

As junior high scorer Evans
fouled out, the junior team be-
came frantic. With two minutes

remaining a junior scored a field
goal to bring the score to 21-20.
The senior offense wisely froze
the ball to run out the clock.

In the second game of the after-
noon the sophs squelched the frosh
in a fast-moving game. Boswell
and McLemore worked the ball
well for the frosh and scored some
beautiful shots.

Sophomore Supremacy

However, with the strong re-
bounding of Dalton, the sopho-
mores kept control of the ball
most of the game. Sylvester had
a terrific shooting eye as she
pumped in one-handed shots from
10-15 feet out. When the frosh de-
fense came out to cover her, she
fed to Peagler and High who did
some beautiful lay-up shots under
the basket. Before the half ended
Peagler and Sylvester had upped
the score 24-12.

Team Victory

With the beginning of the sec-
ond half the frosh seemed deter-
mined to close the gap and pulled
the score up to 25-20 before the
sophs pulled away 33-20. It was
a team victory for the sophs who
demonstrated some beautiful
plays.

juniors and the juniors beat the

A string of juniors dashed from
the stacks, tore down the steps,
and jumped through the windows
to discover which classmate had

Dr. John Baillie, outstanding
theologian and author, arrives to-
night to begin a four-day campus
visit.

"The Christian Interpretation of
History" will be the subject of
his first lecture. He will speak

Gaines chapel; "The Mainspring of
Christian Action," 10:30 a. m., Fri-
day; and "The Philosophical Status
of Christian Faith," at 2:00 p.m.,
Friday, in Maclean.

Dr. Baillie is dean of the faculty
of divinity at the University of
Edinburgh. He is a native of Gair-
loch, Scotland, and has been Chap-
lain to the Queen of Scotland

Recital Will Feature
Organist Dieckmann

Adele Dieckmann, an Agnes
Scott graduate and minister of
music at Trinity Presbyterian
Church, will give an organ recital
at 1:30, Friday, March 6, in Gaines
chapel.

Miss Dieckmann, daughter of
the former head of the music de-
partment here, was very active
while at Agnes Scott. She was a
member of Mortar Board, vice
president of the student body, and
very active in the music depart-
ment. She graduated Phi Beta
Kappa with a Latin major and
a music minor.

After leaving Agnes Scott, Miss
Dieckmann attended the School of
Sacred Music, Yale University^
and received her MA degree, mag-
na cum laude, from the School of
Sacred Music, Union Theological
Seminary, New York.

She is playing for the weekly
meeting of the Organ Guild, and
the entire student body is invited
to hear her.

Organizations Plan
For Activities Fair

An Activities Fair depicting the
functions of all organizations on
campus will be held March 31
April 2 in the Rebekah reception
room. All four boards, the honor-
ary societies, and all clubs and
publications will exhibit original
displays showing exactly what
their organizations do and what
qualifications are needed for mem-
bership.

The fair will be held on the
eve of elections, at the time when
freshmen choose their extra-cur-
ricular activities. Therefore the
Activities Fair will serve a two-
fold purpose, according to Betty
Lewis, chairman of the steering
committee. Other members of the
committee are Margaret McKel-
way, Virginia Thomas, Panni Doar
and Mary Ann Henderson.

The fair will be open from 12:30
a.m. to 10:30 p.m. each day.

Much Ado . .

Last week a student government study was published
showing the number of students studying, knitting, and
writing letters during convocation.

We feel that the study was interesting from several angles.
First, when on* stops to think, 48 out of 600 (the largest num-
ber reported) is not a terribly large number. Secondly, it
was obvious that the more interesting speakers received a
more attentive audience.

Also, we question the validity of counting knitting in with
studying and reading. Sometimes it is easier to listen when
there is something in your hands. Unless the needles are
dropped, knitting should not be annoying to the speaker
or to the rest of the audience.

Writing letters and reading newspapers, however, we
would class as "the lowest." When temptation to write letters
or read arises, imagine being seated directly in front of the
speaker: it is amazing how much a speaker can see from his
perch! Often the man has spent much time and effort pre-
paring his talk. Sometimes he has come a considerable
distance. Think how you would feel, in the same situation,
speaking to a hall of buried heads.

Since convocation is required and since tests often follow
immediately after, it would be too idealistic to expect all
students to abstain from a few minutes more of cramming.

There seem to be only three alternatives for dealing with
the situation: The simplest would be to leave things as they
are. The second would be to forbid books to be brought into
Gaines. Third, and possibly most satisfactory, would be giv-
ing one or two convocation cuts a quarter to everyone. C.F.

Conformity Revisited

This matter of conformity seems to be a cause for concern
in the minds of many students and educators on this campus
and elsewhere. Since this issue is being so written about and
discussed, many of us went to chapel last Thursday with high
hopes of hearing a frank, trenchant discussion from the three
Tech and Emory student leaders on the program of the basic
issues and the crisis involved in conformity. Many seniors,
at least, were disappointed.

Whether through lack of time, inade-
quately phrased questions, or because of a
I prevailing "Agnes Scott myth" which would
.preclude the possibility of any true intellec-
tual discussion on campus, the panel never
touched on the fundamental facts about con-
formity. The talk stayed on a pretty super-
ficial level, ranging from conformity in col-
lege dress to a general guide on how to stand
I out in college politics.
What could have been a stimulating, thought-provoking
program turned out to be an agreeable 20 minutes of innocu-
ous opinions. Many thought that the panel's consensus added
up to something less than innocuous, though. There seemed
to be a general acceptance of conformity as a useful way to
"get ahead," to help " the group" mesh well; and of non-
conformity as the best means to "stand out" on campus.
Equally alarming was the viewpoint that a few "mild non-
conformists" might be good to have around should any leader-
ship need to be asserted.

Question: Where is this non-conforming talent going to
arise from, and who is going to decide when to turn off the
tap of non-conformists in case there get to be too many of
them? If these are the true convictions of this area's campus
leaders, no wonder there is concern among those who are not
willing to sacrifice prickly individuality for the sake of a
well-ordered society.

What the whole program revealed, we think, is a lack of
pointed thinking on the basic issues, plus a vague idea of
what the words "conformity" and "nonconformity" really
mean. This applies to many of us here, as well as other
schools.

It seems to us that conformity or the lack of it, in the final
analysis, rests on an intellectual base, not in such things as
campus dress or what kind of notebooks you use. There is
nothing bad or good about either conformity or non-con-
formity per se. It is only when an individual foregoes his
right and his necessity (as an individual) to think and make
the decisions which may place him with the majority or
against it. that something is wrong.

Also, using "conformity" or "non-conformity" as simply
means to an end seem to be throwing to the winds any true
convictions one may have on an issue. From that time on,
the ends will color any honest self-analvsis or self-criticism.

Finally, it might be worthwhile to offer these opinions on
the terms under discussion: that "conformity" means un-
thinking ncquiosence to the status-quo by those too lazy, too
scared or too indecisive to think for themselves; that "non-
conformity" is actually non-existent because in not conform-
ing to one group or idea you are onlv conforming to some
other: and that "individualism," in the sense of decisions
based on clear thinking, whether they lead to the in-group's
position or not, is the goal to be sought. S.S.

Letters-to-the-Editor

Students Question Leadership;
Writer Ponders 30-Minute Date

Dear Editor,

As spring elections draw near, a re-evaluation of leadership
at Agnes Scott is needed. It is apparent that leadership has
become "big business" on the campus. It is an all or nothing
proposition in that one has to be either a leader or a student;
few can be both.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Address all letters to Box 208.
Letters must be signed, al-
though names will be with-
held upon request.

The primary purpose of Agnes
Scott has been overlooked and
such adjectives as "apathetic,"
"disinterested," and "disloyal"
have been applied to the student
who does not avidly seek some
political position on the campus.
The student who feels a greater
responsibility to her studies than
to her responsibility as a leader
has often been overlooked and
?\en chastized.

We are not saying that leader-
ship should be eliminated, but in-
stead a watering down of the em-
phasis placed on it. It should not
just include those few who are
selected in their freshman year.
The failure to tap available re-
sources becomes more apparent as
various classes rise from freshman
to senior levels. The political as-
pect has become a focus, and lead-
ers tend to form cliques in small
numbers who have little contact
with the majority of students on
the campus.

Therefore it is necessary for
each individual to re-evaluate her
purpose on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus and also to re-evaluate the
available leadership material in
order to elect responsible, rep-
resentative leaders. As the situa-
tion now stands, more people are
repelled than are drawn to an in-
terest in leadership positions on
campus.

Three Concerned Students
neither scholars nor lead-
ers.

To the Editor:

As spokesman for a large group
in the freshman class, I would
like to suggest a change in the
date policy of Agnes Scott. I
think the allotted time for the
"thirty-minute date" should be
extended to the limit of an hour.
It is hardly worth-while for a
Tech or Emory boy to drive so
far and then be allowed to stay
only thirty minutes.

As the existing situation stands,
most freshmen do not use their

For What
It's Wnrth

By MIMI PHILLIPS

Scth in ^Ke

This is your On-the-Spot reporter spotting you with the latest
news and views:
FLASH:

The excitement is growing great over certain citizens' tragic pre-
dicament. A dramatic situation is developing as a result of this cur-
rent crisis and tension is mounting as each day brings nearer the
momentous decision which this group must make. The eyes of the
world will be turned on them in that climatic moment when they
shall have to make public their final conclusion one which, it is
alleged by some, will have grave and far-reaching consequences.
They have been available for comment for nearly 18 months, and in
fact have not infrequently volunteered information and opinions
which would seem definitely aimed at making the "waiting millions"
think that there is little or no question in the minds of them as to
the outcome .... Even the administration is somewhat 'uneasy"
and though policy makers have refused to comment there is a de-
cided undercurrent of concern. This is interpreted by some to be
concern on the part of these officials for the national security and
for our reputation abroad; it has also been hinted that this concern
was reflected in two recent presidential addresses, though this re-
porter has his own ideas on the subject (more about that later.) At
any rate this is an area which will be generating much interest in
the near future.

We switch now for an especially recorded interview:

Madam will you tell our audience your name, address, phone . . .
excuse me, please.

No, I prefer to remain anonymous.

Yes. Well, Madam, I should like for you to tell our listening audi-
ence your own personal opinion of the "blue laws" which have just
recently been reinstated in your community, by "honorable agree-
ment." Have you anything to say, madam?'

F1I put it this way, sir In the broader community of which mine
is a part, and within which mine operates freely within certain
bunds in this larger community such laws are considered just and
constitutional, and are vigorously enforced. And yet the structure
of this larger framework claims that its policies and laws are not
made with any special reference to a certain religious group. My
smaller community, on the other hand, says very frankly that it is
affiliated strongly with one such group and intends to carry on its
business of living with very conscious reference to the tenets of that
group, and with dedicated effort to bring glory to it. It would seem
to me, sir, that if we are to condemn any "blue laws" we must point
the finger first at the nation which claims no prejudice, rather than
at the smaller community which proudly owns a creed.

Thank you madam.

Our newsroom has just gotten the word that the cost of living will
go down considerably during the month of March. In fact it is
reported that the amount of living for this month will experience a
sharp drop-off. It seems as if citizens of this community will have
fewer opportunities to spend money and fewer opportunities to have
money spent on them .... Our "conspicuous consumption" will take
on a new connotation, denoting obvious physical and mental exhaus-
tion, rather than liberal spending.
W I \THER ROUNDUP:

Fair and mild for those who do not let themselves get under the
weather. Gusts of hot air will slacken off considerably but the dark
clouds are predicted to remain overhead until approximately March
the 19th

And now for this reporter's analysis of one of our news topics:
As for those citizens whose "momentous decision" is claiming
world attention, I would be inclined to undermine its importance to
the ultimate welfare and progress of "national" affairs. As for the
alleged concern of the president over these matters, I would say
that none was evidenced or subtly alluded to in recent addresses,
which I believe were intended to convey only what they said, but that
most emphatically. If there is any concern on the part of executive
authorities in this matter I would venure to say that it is directed not
at any depletion the "national" ranks may suffer by these citizens
decisions, but rather at the more personal aspects of it. The 1960
census should reveal a healthy number of happy, healthy people.
Tune in again next year and see if it doesn't. . .

Soph Parents Top Guest List;
Tech Parties At Military Ball

BY DOLLY BATES

Apologetic belated congrats to Mary Rose Speer who received a
rock from Dwight Holmes many moons ago. Dwight is a senior at
Tech; the word is that they are planning the big event for this sum-
mer.

Partying at the Dinkier Plaza Military Ball were Ann Parker,
Nancy Barrett, Polly Page, Meade Boswell, Jane Brummett, Vivian
Conner, Mike Booth, Carol Cowan, Flossie Gaines, Betty Evans,
Dawneda Fowler, Sally Smith, Dot Porcher, Kay Gilliland, Beth
Hendee, Ann Hutchinson, Knox Jones, Susan Parris, Joanne Scruggs,
Ruth Shepherd, Mildred Love, Elaine Smith, Katherine White, Willie
Byrd Childress, and Nancy Hughes.

The Knotty Pines was the scene of a cozy party attended by these
gals and their dates: Panni Doar, Linda Ingram, Jody Webb, Judy
Webb, and Kathy Kemp.

Silvia Turner, Ruth Leroy, Suzie Orme, Mary Ann Leslie, and Sue
Maxwell journeyed all the way to Allatoona to a party thrown by
the Delta Upsilons at the Yacht Club.

Lillian Smith went to the Citadel for their rather late Valentine
Hop, while Nancy Batson spent her weekend at Auburn, and Joanna
Praytor travelled to nearby Athens the University of Georgia. Here
on campus Runita McCurdy entertained Martin Goude, Tech co-op
now working in Kingsport Tennessee.

But the consensus of opinion was that the Sophs spent the nicest
weekend of all in that they were fortunate enough to have their
parents here!

Marianne Sharp showed up Monday morning with a lovely diamond
from Jim Robinson, a med student at Emory.

Dear Editor,

I would like to take this oppor-
tunity to express my appreciation
to Dolphin Club for the excellent
performance which it gave last

great many valuable hours of

result was a production of which
Dolphin Club can be justly proud.
Congratulations and thanks to all

Violence Erupts In Nyasaland;
British Resort To Martial Law

BY SUSIE WHITE

Last week the natives in the British protectorate Nyasa-
land resorted to violence to press their demands for inde-
pendence. Nyasaland is united with Northern and Southern
Rhodesia in the Central African Federation of the British
Commonwealth.

The riots took
place following
the Kariba Dam
strike in which
1,000 of the
workers walked
off the project. |
Sir Roy Welen-
sky, prime min-
ister of the Rho-

desia-Nyasaland Federation, called
up their territorial reservists in
an effort to put down the unrest.
Campaign For Independence

Dr. Hastings Banda, president
of the Nyasaland African Nation-
al Congress, has been campaign-
ing to take the protectorate,
which is predominantly black,
having only 6,000 whites and
three million Africans, out of the
Federation and to free it from
white settler rule.

As the unrest spread to white-
dominated Northern Rhodesia, the
prime minister of Southern Rho-
desia, Sir Edgar Whitehead, de-
clared a state of emergency and
outlawed the African National
Congress.

Regulations were published em-
powering the government to pro-
hibit gatherings of more than
three people, to control move-
ment of people and supplies of
weapons, to impose curfews, and
to control publications of infor-
mation about activities of security
forces. Over 500 negroes were re-
ported under arrest.

With the aid of British troops
and planes, law and order were
restored. Until now Nyasaland's
central province had shown no
signs of the African Nationalist
rebellion that has flared up in
other parts of the Central Afri-
can Federation.

Yul Turns Russian
For Newest Movie

light this week's entertainment
picture.

Yul Brynner again turns Rus-
sian (as in The Brothers Kara-
mazov, An astasia) to star in the
intrigue, The Journey, now play-
ing at Loew's. As an Army major
he commands a border post dur-
ing the Hungarian rebellion. The
plot forms when he detains a bus-
load of foreigners bound for Vien-
na, believing that some of the
people are really Hungarians.

Brynner strug-
gles between
duty to the state
and the love he
feels for the Hun-
garian people.
Perhaps more
obvious is his
love for an Eng-
lish passenger,
Deborah Kerr.
The final result
of his struggle will be a shock.

Terror and suspense are the
keynote in The Trap at the Roxy.

gram will include selections by

Juniors Gain Championship
As Seniors Come In Second

BY NANCY DUVALL

The basketball season was climaxed Friday afternoon as
the juniors defeated the freshmen 25-9 to win the champion-
ship and the seniors defeated the sophomores 47-31 to cap-
ture second place. The sophomores ranked third place.
The senior-

omores with 11 points.

Early Junior Lead,

The juniors started off with a
6-1 margin at the end of the first
quarter. They kept this ratio at
the end of the half, and in the
second half kept ahead of the
freshmen by about 15 points in
spite of the fact that their for-
wards weren't hitting and weren't
getting the rebounds.

The freshmen forwards just
couldn't get over Wilma Muse
who constantly blocked shots, in-
tercepted passes, and grabbed re-
bounds. As the game progressed,
play became what can only be
described as rather "scrambled."
Playing was marked by loose
balls, tangled players, and general
awkwardness.

Evans led the juniors with 9 1

sophomore game
I was played be-
fore a large
I crowd of spec-
tators composed
mostly of the
| sophomores' par-
ents. These par-
I ents got to see
a lot of action and fast play.

Both teams were keyed up for
this last game and consequently
displayed a lot of energy and some
mistakes that would not have
occurred if they had not been so
excited.

The sophs were quite impressive
with their fast passes, but there
were many interceptions for both
teams. Betsy Dalton and Mary
Moore stood out in their ability
to steal the ball from the
opponents.

Senior Height Advantage

The third quarter proved that
the seniors were just too tall for
the sophomores. Sophomore
guards were fast enough to bother
passing, but with the tall seniors
right under the basket, it was
difficult to stop them.

The seniors kept sinking the
goals and maintained a comfort-
able margin all the way. High
scorer was Ruth Currie who hit
27 points. Tish Mo ye led the soph-

2 9 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 9 AVednesday, April 1. 1959

Think, Discuss, Vote!

In a recent letter to the editor a valid point was made
concerning leadership on campus. A need for "new blood"
in responsible positions was expressed. The letter mentioned
the fact that those chosen in their freshman year are looked
to for leadership their remaining three years, sometimes
over-looking those who are capable but not elected during
their first year.

Since election time is here, this matter is very pertinent.

It seems very impractical to elect completely
new leaders each year. Leadership positions
would lose much of their strength if this
were done, plus the fact that not everyone
on campus is a leader. Yet failure to seek
out capable but undiscovered leaders is also
impractical. This failure could possibly be
a cause of the apathy somewhat evident on
campus. Many feel out of things, conse-
quently they really don't care what happens.
Also the continued election to office of the same people could
provide proof of the "leadership cliques" which this letter
mentioned.

If new resources are to be found, how should it be gone |
about? First, "Vital Statistics" should be used as a guide,
not as the sole basis upon which nominations are made. Sec-
ond, close attention should be paid to committee nomina-
tions. Often the committee nominates those who have done
"silent jobs" and are unknown. Third, and most important,
there should be informal discussions about possible candi-
dates. Here at Agnes Scott there is no formal campaign.
Elections are a time when there should be serious thinking
and talking. We should speak up for those who are capable
whether their leadership abilities have been recognized or
not.

This editorial is not advocating a complete disregard for
the present leaders in the freshman, sophomore, or junior
classes. It is advocating some serious thinking and an aware-
ness during the election period. BG

Lerrers-ro-f he- Editor

Henderson Tests Scott, Emory Convictions;
Exec Will Publish Case Information Weekly

Dear Editor:

In order to find out whether Emory and Agnes Scott upperclassmen make up their own
minds about controversial issues, or whether they tend to lean on the word of "accepted"
authorities or sources, I tried a little experiment. Your readers may be interested in the
results. ,

I JUST canT

Pass Avmvuwsi

I asked about 80 Agnes Scott
juniors and seniors, and about
60-odd Emory juniors to read a
recent statement about the pres-
ent status of Christianity. Here
is the statement:

As we look back at C hrist Utility
as a now religion, from the per-
spective of history, these are
the characteristics we observe:

1. It was a revolutionary re-
ligion, opposed to the status
quo, to things as they were.

2. It made its primary appeal

to the oppressed, the ex-
ploited, the disinherited, and
the abandoned.

3. It fulfilled a need not being
yet met by the established
religions.

4. In essence, it gave people a
chance to sacrifice for some-
thing bigger and more im-
portant than themselves.

5. it demanded all of one's life
and loyalty even unto death,
and in the process, it made
sacrifice and death signifi-
cant and meaningful.

These arc not the only char-
acteristics of the now religion
of Christianity, hut thoy ;\rc
the onos I would remind you of
because t hc> are t he ones w hieh
arc lartfoly for^otton today.
The Christian religion of the
West in this crntury dms not
present these characteristics.
As a dynamic social force
( hristianit\ has become para-
lyzed. The red blood of enthu-
siasm flows slowly. Christianity
has become highly organized
:md bure:un ratio; it has grown
remote from the needs of the
people: it has become slow and
feeble and old.

In order to "test" my hypothe-
sis, I divided the papers bearing
this statement into three piles be-
fore distributing them, and indi-
cated authorship as follows: I

ascribed the statement in pile No.
1 to Paul Tillich, the eminent
Harvard Protestant theologian;
pile No. 2 bore the name of I. K.
Usupov, a member of the Presidi-
um of the Communist Party in
Russia; pile No. 3 bore no indica-
tion of authorship was left anon-
ymous.

Students were asked to check
whether, in general, they agreed
or disagreed with the statement.
The results from both colleges
were significantly alike.

While nearly 509*- of all stu-
dents felt free to disagree with

"Mr. Usupov" and with "Anony-
mous," only 9 % at Emory felt
free to disagree with "Mr. Til-
lich," and at Agnes Scott, only
17% felt free to disagree with
"Mr. Tillich." Inasmuch as the
papers were randomly distributed,
it appears that too many of our
college students hold convictions
because accepted authorities hold
them.

Anybody want to debate?

Editor, Agnes Scott 'News':

Recently, various members of the student body expressed
a concern for the lack of knowledge on the part of students
with regard to the nature of Exec's judicial undertakings

It was felt that Exec's means
of communication to those stu-
dents genuinely interested in the
outcome of specific cases or in
the type of cases with which the
committee was currently involved
was definitely limited: first of
all, attending Exec meetings on
Monday nights presents an in-
convenience to many students,
and, secondly, acquiring informa-
tion from the President or Judi-
cial Chairman of Student Govern-
ment frequently is difficult due
to a lack of availability.

In response to this voiced need,
a committee was appointed from
Exec to explore the possibilities
of increased communication. The
committee presented the follow-
ing conclusions: to publicize the
nature of specific cases plus their
respective penalties without an
adequate accompanying conden-
sation of Exec's discussion of each
would be unfair and even mis-
leading in some instances; to
justly condense and publicize
every case with its particular
circumstances would be a gar-
gantuan undertaking; and, at the

Internationally Speaking

Eisenhower - MacMillian Talks
Point To Parley On Berlin

BY SUSIE WHITE

The Eisenhower-MacMillan concert at Camp David, Mary-
land, March 20 through 24 to discuss Anglo-United States
policies resulted in a compromise between the Big Two on
the possibility of a summit conference concerning the Berlin
situation.

A three-point approach to a
meeting with Soviet Premier Ni-
kita Khrushchev this summer was
adapted by the President and the
British Prime Minister and ac-
I cepted by President DeGaulle of
France and Chancellor Adenauer
I of West Germany.

Geneva

The compromise formula pro-
poses that the Big Four powers
should open a foreign ministers
meeting at Geneva, May 11. The
talks would therefore begin be-
fore Khrushchev's original dead-
ine in his ultimatum to the
United States and Allies to get
out of West Berlin by May 27.
The conference has been sub-
stantially agreed to by the Soviet
Premier despite previous objec-
tions.

The second proposal declares
that the heads of government
should hold their meeting when
it would be justified by the work
of the foreign ministers. Thirdly,
therefore, the foreign ministers
would have the responsibility of
determining the time, place, and
subject matter of the summit con-
ference.

MacMillan Scores

MacMillan clearly won a vic-
tory, which he much desired, in
persuading Eisenhower to agree
that the foreign ministers should
prepare proposals for a summit
conference. The President has
heretofore refused to consider at-
tending a summit meeting which
he felt would be used only for
propaganda by the Soviet Union;
however, recognizing the almost
unstoppable forces to the summit
and fearing a possible rift in
Western unity, he agreed.

On the other hand the Presi-
dent showed his concern for
progress at the foreign ministers
meeting by maintaining that the
heads of government should con-
fer only when such a gathering
was justified by the accomplish-
ments of the foreign ministers.
MacMillan yielded, therefore, in
his desire to fix a precise time
and place for the summit meet-
ing.

France, Germany For Ike
President DeGaulle and Chan-
cellor Adenauer held views closer
to those of Eisenhower than to
those of MacMillan. DeGaulle in-
sisted that France will agree to
a summit conference only should
concrete progress be made at the
earlier lower level talks. To be
sure, however, France, desiring to
hold her own among the major
powers, will attend any meeting
agreed to by the United States
and Great Britain.

U. S. Stand
The West will approach the
summit demanding the status quo.

same time, to attempt any dis-
cernment as to those cases in
which students would be particu-
larly interested would be equally
as impractical.

Thus, a plan was adopted by
Exec, whereby an enumeration by
category of the cases discussed
at each meeting would be posted
along with the weekly minutes
on the Student Government bulle-
tin board in the mailroom; as has
always been the case, further in-
formation may be obtained from
the President or Judicial Chair-
man.

Exec's primary concern is the
consideration and protection of

and West in Europe.

On the other hand, although it
will offer to negotiate a German
peace treaty, it will not, appar-
ently, demand German reunifi-
cation, as heretofore insisted up-
on by the United States, as a pre-
requisite to a Berlin settlement.

The outlined steps to the sum-
mit include a meeting of Western
envoys in late March to draft a
final reply to Moscow on Ger-
many, the ratification of the Big
Three position in Germany by
the NATO Council in April, and
the East-West foreign ministers
conference at Geneva May 11.

British Concessions

Although Eisenhower and Dul-
les insist that there will be no
compromise of principles or uni-
lateral concessions, the rigid po-
sition of the United States will
undoubtedly face assault in the
forthcoming meetings. Even in
the Western camp its position is
opposed by that of Great Britain
which leans dangerously close to
unequal compromise and con-
cession.

After Seven

Masqueraders Star
In 'MM 1 Slapstick

BY ANN PARKER

Light but crisp weather and
entertainment greet theatre-goers
in Atlanta.

At Loew's Some Like It Hot
parodies the gangster-girlie com-
bination of the roaring twenties.

Tony Curtis and
Jack Lemmon,
who supply most
of the laughs,
witness a gang
massacre by
gunman George
v / Raft. To escape

death as wit-
nesses they don
feminine attire and flee to Flori-
da in an all-girl orchestra. Mari-
lyn Monroe in usual form (re-
vealed) is the band's singer. Ro-
mance thickens the plot as Curtis
forsakes his disguise to woo
Marilyn and Lemmon is pursued
by millionaire Joe E. Brown.

Bus Stop continues at the Com-
munity Playhouse through Satur-
day. The plot involves the infatu-
ation of a forceful but naive cow-
boy for a tawdry nightclub singer.
In the glow of nightclub lights he
mistakes her for the angel-next-
door type. Unwilling to add the
cowboy to her list of conquests
the singer attempts escape by
bus. The play reaches a climax
when the bus is snow-bound and
the persistent but now enlight-
ened cowboy wins the singer to a
home-on-the-range.

Robinson's

For an out-of-the-ordinary eve-
ning visit Robinson's Tropical
Gaidens on the Marietta High-
way. It opens for dinner at six
and dancing is from nine till
eleven. The combo is versatile and
the floor is ample.

Spring Sports Agenda Offers
Variety, Spirited Competition

BY SYLVIA SAXON

Hi! Now that Spring Quarter has begun, the sports agenda
is full and looks promising. This quarter has more to offer
to the students than perhaps any other quarter: archery,
golf, softball, tennis, volleyball, riding are just a few that
can be enjoyed.

Archery resumes its activities
again after a
lapse of one
quarter. A. A.
Manager Archer
B o swell has
been busy cre-
ating new and
varied novelty
shots to add to
the two major
tournaments of the quarter. Open
Archery is on Thursday from 3:30
to 5:00.

Volleyball and softball
will again share the spotlight,
with each sport lasting for three
games, i.e., each team will play
each other class once in both
sports. The juniors are the de-
fending champions in both sports,
but keen competition will be the
keynote in all the games.

Softball

The team to beat in softball is
the junior team, but look to the
sophs for some surprises; with
luck they could capture the cham-
pionship. Of course I haven't
had a chance to see the frosh in
action, so I can't tell what role
they will play in the race. If they
come up with as good a team as
they have produced in the hockey
and basketball competitions, they
will be in the thick of the battle.

Volleyball

In volleyball I think the juniors
will win the championship, but
the seniors have the potential and
haven't lost any of their star
players. In fact, the seniors should

be pre-season favorites to win.
Badminton

The badminton tournament
hasn't been completed yet, but
it is progressing fairly well. A. A.
Manager Barbara Specht is urg-
ing all participants in the tour-
ney to arrange their matches and
play them as soon as possible.
The doubles tourney has made
little headway, although the
singles are faring a little better.
Every match played thus far has
been exciting, so if possible hustle
on down to the gym and try to see
one.

Well, that's about all the news
for now. 'Til next time, why not
try to get a little exercise? It's
the best prevention for the
MONO bug. Is this a cruelty
joke ? ! !

Raymond J. Martin have received
grants for summer study from
the Presbyterian Board of Chris-
tian Education. The purpose of
these grants-in-aid is to improve
teaching through research and
creative activity.

Dr. Posey, head of Agnes
Scott's department of history and
political science, will continue his
research on the topic, "Religion
in the Lower Mississippi Valley
to 1861." Dr. Posey has previously
published his studies of the Meth-
odist, Baptist, and Presbyterian
churches in that area.

Music Professor

Mr. Martin, associate professor
of music, and college organist,
will spend this summer in study
at Union Seminary in New York.
Mr. Martin, who is also organist-
choir director for the Peachtree
Road Presbyterian Church and
staff organist for the Protestant
Radio Center, will continue study
in his particular field, sacred
music.

Dr. S. Leonard Doerpinghaus,

Dr. Doerpinghaus, who joined

is one of fifty teachers selected
by a committee of the Botanical
Society of America to participate
in this Summer Institute. The
objectives of the program are to
afford college teachers of botany
personal contact with outstanding
scholars, to present late develop-

ments in plant science, to afford
opportunity for exchange of ideas
relating to the teaching of college
botany, and to stimulate research
which can be shared with the
teacher's institution and with his
students.

Number 17

Bo Guthrie, Kay Weber, Dick McMichael, Martha Bethea, and
Dick Schnurr rehearse "Trifles," one of the plays to be given Fri-
day and Saturday nights for Blackf Mars' annual spring production.

Blackfriars Will Present
Four Contemporary Plays

By MILDRED LOVE

Curtain going up! that is, on April 17 and 18 when the
Agnes Scott Blackfriars give their spring production "An
American Sampler," consisting of four contemporary one-
act plays.

Susan Glaspell's "Trifles," whose plot centers around the
murder of a farmer will be presented first.

Oddly enough, the wives of the

investigators teach their husbands
a few tricks of the trade and thus
provide a surprise ending. Martha
Bethea and Betty Bellune are
double-cast as Mrs. Hale, while
Kay Weber plays the sheriff's
wife.

Williams Drama

Cornelia Scott, an aristocratic
Southern woman, desires a "Con-
federate Daughters" office in
"Something Unspoken" by Tennes-
see Williams. Nancy Graves and
Pete Brown share the part of
Cornelia, whose secretary, Grace,
is played by Brock Hanna. Nancy
and Brock represented Agness
Scott at the Community Play-
house in Atlanta on April 11, in a
program of one-act plays given by
schools in the vicinity.

Aria Da Capo

The third play will be the tragic
fantasy "Aria Da Capo," from the
pen of Edna St. Vincent Millay.
The term "Aria Da Capo" is from
the musical world and means a
musical act in three parts the
third of which repeats the first.
The two characters of Pierrot
(Annette Whipple) and Colum-
bine (Snellen Beverly and Betty
Mitchell) are taken from the Ital-
ian Comedia delle Arte. Mickey
North directs the action of the
play as she portrays Cothurnus,
the masque of tragedy. Complet-
ing the cast are the shepherds:
Thyrsis, played by Harriet Jack-
son, and Cory don, whose lines are
shared by Mary Jane Moore and
Sally Sanford.

The final play of the evening
will be Thornton Wilder's "Happy
Journey," a comedy about a typ-
ically American family trip. Jan-
ice Powell will appear as Ma;
Betsy Bivens as Caroline; and Ann
Parker and Barbara Harrison as
Beulah. Male talent will be im-
ported for this play and also for
"Trifles."

Blackfriars Awards

It is a general custom in journalism circles for the retiring
editor to make some sentimental statement about her feelings
at this dramatic moment of exit. We are not one to depart
from established tradition; at the same time we abhor the
gross sentimentality of the old has-been who relinquishes her
office with the greatest reluctance.

And so it is that we say a very brief thanks
to special ones, hoping not to sin by any
ommission: to Dr."A." for all his interest,
help and concern always; to Nancy Edwards
for her continued patience which was often
tried to the limit; to the loyal staff who so
valiantly carried on when their editor took
a leisurely vacation in the infirmary. And
a very, very special thanks to Mary whose
unfailing humor and encouragement carried
us through the untold tragedies of late copy, the printer's,
major changes, lost photos, and the momentary hysteria dur-
ing Monday night sessions.

For the new staff who brave the unknown with all the en-
Ihusiasm and folly of youth, we wish the best. We envy them
the joy, the fun of shared creation, but happily leave them
the anguish, frustration, and agony of weekly labor pains.
"But that a joy past joy calls out on me.
It were a grief, so brief to part with thee:
Farewell . . .

I must be gone and live, or stay and die."
(who said that?) CD.

Follow The Leader?

Spring is a time when it is extremely easy to toss studies
out the window and relax, blaming it all on "spring fever."
The question at hand, however, is much more fundamental:
do most of us at Agnes Scott have spring fever of the brain
all year round?

Two weeks ago Mr. Richard Henderson of the Education
Department in a Letter to the Editor presented an eye-open-
ing report on an experiment which he had conducted among
Agnes Scott and Emory students. The results of the experi-
ment seem to indicate that "too many of our college students
hold convictions because accepted authorities hold them."

The tendency conscious or unconscious
to admit ideas from a respected source as a
substitute for conclusions based on indi-
vidual thinking or to allow the thinking of
a respected authority to completely over-
shadow and dull one's own thought processes
is a common human trait; it is one against
which every person who considers himself
"educated" must wage a battle. An individ-
ual's basic worth to his fellows depends up-
on his ability and his willingness to use his intellectual pow-
ers to reach an individual conclusion in respect to an issue,
basing his convictions on his own careful personal analysis
of the situation.

Again and again it is said that the purpose of Agnes Scott
and of institutions like this one is to train the minds of young
persons so that they will be better prepared to face today's
turbulent world society because they are able to analyze
situations and to form their own conclusions. Every course
offered here, whether English, history, art, or math, con-
tributes toward that desired goal. In gaining knowledge our
minds are trained to search, to analyze, and finally to
distinguish truth from untruth. Of what use is such training
if away from study the intellect is allowed to take a vaca-
tion? The campus speech teachers tell their students that
techniques of good speaking learned in Speech 105 will do
one no good if they are dropped at the classroom exit.

It is important to ask seriously whether we drift along on
a tide of mental spring fever, swayed, shifted, and directed
by a current of general opinion or by the thinking of a per-
son we respect because it is easier to take someone's word
for it than to undertake the difficult task of rjrobing the
Question with our own intellectual resources. When an in-
dividual ceases to use his own resources and relies instead on
the thought processes of others, there is the very real danger
that he will become fixed in his attitude toward questions
and will lose his powers of truly critical search and analvsis.
Intellectual growth is an essential part of what Agnes Scott
offers every student. Let us keep growing. S.A.C.

For What
It's Worth

BY xMIMI PHILLIPS

What is the Spring? In the vio-
let, in the unearthly calm of an
April sunset, in the misty chill of
dawn, the minds of all men are fill-
ed with a sense of loveliness and
new life but the souls of a few
are stirred by a moment of cosmic
unity with Being.

Spring is the most sacred rite
of Nature. In the sensual-spiritual
act of creation with the universal
soul she consecrates herself to the
sacrament of rebirth. The mystic
cycle of life and death begins anew
winter was not the final death,
but only purification for another
Spring.

Pagan is the Spring. From the
dizzy brilliance of her mantle
breathes intoxication the wild
throb in her veins pipes music for
an endless dance. Yet this orgy of
the maiden Spring cannot but end
in death. A terrible destructive-
creative urge consumes her in its
deadly fulfillment. The rebirth of
life is effected beautiful and glor-
ious beyond comprehension, but
fatal. For the Spring has lost her
maidenhood and sacrificed her ex-
istence in the fiery embrace of the
world-soul. And yet the pulsating
imprint of living form is left, ex-
pressed in the radiance of eternal
fertility. And therein is the prom-
ise, as ancient as the motherhood
of Spring and as young as the soul
of her consuming love the cycle
will run its course, and of neces-
sity death will create a new
world, and Spring will again come
softly for magic communion at the
altar-rail of Being.

Farmer's Daughter
Traps 'Revenooer'

BY ANN PARKER

Entertainment ranges from the
thought -provoking to the comic in
movies, with a touch of sentim-
entality throughout.

Imitation of Life at the Fox is
a double statement of problems
in the mother-
daughter rela-
tionship. Susan
Kohner stars as
a Negro girl
whose tragedy is
her ability to pass
for white. She is
torn between
4 hurting her moth-

er and seeking a life for herself.

Tlu> Black Orchid at the Art
stars Sophia Loren as a gangster's
widow whose son seems to have
inherited his father's vices. Her
marriage to widower Anthony
Quinn is also complicated by his
jealous daughter.

Debbie Reynolds gives a pixie-
like quality to the light comedy
The Muting Game at the Rialto.
She plays the daughter of farmer
Paul Douglas, who has avoided
paying his income tax by barter-
ing. Tony Randall, sent to inves-
tigate the situation, succumbs to
Debbie's home-grown charm and
the Revenue Department suffers
a loss.

Magazine Revival

The "News" has received notice
that The Dial literary magazine
will resume publication in the Fall.
Past contributors have included T.
S. Eliot, Thomas Mann, James
Joyce, and Joseph Conrad. The
magazine will be published quar-
terly and will be available through

College Dramatists Produce
Movie Version of Oresteia'

A full length color film of Aeschylus' trilogy, "The
Oresteia," will be presented April 16 at the Walter Hill Audi-
torium of the Atlanta Art Association under sponsorship of
Atlanta Alumnae of Randolph-Macon Woman's College.

There will be two showings of
the production, one at 3.45 p.m.
and one at 8:00 p.m.

The two-hour film, produced at
the college with a student cast,
is in Ancient Greek with English
narration. It was filmed from the
original production in 1954, the
first of the entire trilogy in the
original Greek in this country.
The event attracted leading Greek
scholars, representatives of the
Greek government, and many
others whose interest led to film-
ing the unique production.

The trilogy is the epic story of
the struggle of man to do away
with personal revenge and substi-
tute trial by jury. It was written
2,400 years ago when this ques-
tion was a political issue. The
three plays on a common theme
were the forerunner of the mod-
ern three-act play.

The production represents the
enthusiastic cooperation of many
departments of the college, com-
bining their efforts in tribute to
the retiring head of the Greek
Department, Miss Mable Kate
Whiteside, after fifty years of
teaching. The Art Department de-
signed sets of simplicity and dig-
nity. Costumes were designed by
faculty members from such di-
vergent departments as political
science, chemistry, psychology
and English.

Randolph-Macon's distinguished
professor of dance and coreogra-
phy, Miss Eleanor Struppa, was
convinced from a study of Greek
vases that 20th Century "modern
dance" closely resembles the
dance of the Greeks. Combining
the suggestions of the figures
from Greek relics with vivid im-
ages from lyrics of the chorus,
Miss Struppa originated memora-
ble dance movements depicting
the emotions of the players.

Ths music, too, was originated
at Randolph-Macon, and the beau-
tifully expressive chants were
sung by the College Glee Club.
The combined efforts resulted in
a moving and beautiful presenta-
tion. The performance of this
play at Randolph-Macon Woman's
College was an event which only
a few were able to witness.
Through the film this superb per-
formance was preserved. Atlanta
Alumnae of the college invite you
to be their guests for the local
showing.

Freud, Sigmund Freud: Man and
Father Here, the eldest son of
one of the most influential men of
his time gives an intimate portrait
of his father. Many unexpected
facets of the great genius of psy-
choanalysis are disclosed in this
unprepossessing but engrossing
family portrait which covers the
period from Franz Joseph's Im-
perial Vienna to the beginning of
the Second World War. 131.3.

Swisher, The Supreme Court in
Modern Role The U. S. Supreme
Court, more controversial today
than ever before, is examined in
this 190^page book in the light of
its most important decisions, from
Dred Scott to school desegrega-
tion. The changing pattern of deci-
sions involving judicial restraint
on government, subversion, the
constitutional place of the military,
and race conflicts is discussed and
appraised with an authority that
is both readable and well-balanced.

Wheeler-Bennett, King George
VI His Life and Reign This is
the story of a respected and loved
English king. The father, of the

expectations for succession to the
crown. Called into the Kingship at

Through critical moments of

human experience Albert Camus
explores his recurring theme of
man in spiritual exile seeking re-
birth and the kingdom. Camus,
1957 Nobel Prize Winner, speaks
through the six stories in this book
as a conscience of his age. 843.91.

Perse, Seamarks An unfamiliar
name to most, St. John Perse is
one of the great contemporary po-
ets, acc'aimed by critics and other
poets alike. This long poem, writ-
ten with haunting, leisurely beau-
ty, celebrates the sea as the di-
vine source of life, love and death.
The sea is a symbol to the poet
of the renewal of life and "the-sac-
redness of the being." 841.91.

Red Success In Iraq Presents
Threats To Nasser, West Alike

By SUSIE WHITE

With the approach of the foreign ministers conference in
May and the possibility of summit talks this summer the
threat of war over Berlin has been temporarily alleviated.
However, the "crisis" has presented an excellent opportuni-
ty for Khrushchev to extend Soviet influence in the oil-rich
country of Iraq.

Until now Russia has pursued I being a traitor to the Arab cause
two easily defined goals in the and a Communist puppet who must

Middle East: the

immediate neu

tralization of th<

area by the end

ing of Western

sponsored defense

pacts, and the fu-
ture socialization

of the area. Last

July she joined
with Nasser In backing the over-
throw of the pro-Western regime
in Iraq which resulted in the ele-
vation of General Kassem to pow-
er.

Kassem in Middle

Although he realized that both
Nasser and Khrushchev wanted
control of the country, Kassem be-
lieved the immediate threat to his
personal power in Iraq came from
the Iraqui followers of Nasser.
Therefore, an Iraqui Communist
Party was allowed to emerge, and
Kassem accepted its support in op-
posing the merger of Iraq and the
United Arab Republic. The happy
alliance between Nasser's sup-
porters and Khrushchev's agents
was broken.

As Nasser charged Kassem with

be eliminated, Khrushchev warned
that the sympathy of Russia lay
with Iraq because of its "progres-
sive order of things." Moreover,
the Soviet Premier signed a $138
million Soviet loan agreement with
Iraq. Russian tanks, artillery, and
military technicians poured into
Iraq, for a major expansion of
Kassem's army.

Soviet "Strings"

However, Soviet assistance was
tied with four strings. First Kas-
sem was to denounce the Bagh-
dad Pact as he has done. He was
also to purge his army and ad-
ministration of anti-Communists
as he is continuing to do. However,
he has yet to execute such trai-
tors as his one-time co-conspira-
tor Colonel Aref and has resisted
the giving of arms to the so-called
Popular Resistance Force, which
would be a Red militia.

With Iraq as a base, Khrus'hchev
could strike in many directions:
against the shaky pro- western
throne of Iran, restive Syria, tiny
Kuwait, or Turkey, the key ally
of the United States in the Mid-
dle East. Moreover, he could deny
Iraq's oil to Western Europe which
depends on it for one-sixth of its
supply.

Association Honors
Robinson's Services

Professor Henry A. Robinson re-
cently retired as executive-secre-
tary of the Southeastern Section
of the Mathematical Association
of America, a posiion which he has
held since 1933. Recognizing the
lengthy service of Professor Rob-
inson, the association presented
him with a silver tray.

During the twenty-six years that
Dr. Robinson has served as execu-
tive-secretary, the Southeastern
Section has grown from an organ-
ization of less than one hundred
members to one of seven hundred.

In the years prior to 1933 there
were fewer than eight papers pre-
sented by mathematicians at each
meeting. Since that time the num-
ber of papers presented at annual
meetings has increased to an ave-
rage of forty or fifty.

There are many people in the world. There are those who
are short, and those who are tall. Many are plump and many
are thin. Some have red hair; some are blond; and some are
brunettes. But, there are those whose hair is grey and some-
times even white.

Often it seems as if the younger
people forget about the older
adults. Perhaps these young are
too near-sighted to see that in the
distant future they, too, will be
old.

However, students in the Agnes
Scott Art Department have found
a very wonderful and useful way
to share their abilities. They have
offered their services as volun-
teer arts and crafts directors at
the Golden Age Club at 7 Elev-
enth Street.

This arts and crafts program
is another first for this club, and
Scott students are pioneering in
this field of education of older
adults. This is actually a new
course of practice teaching for
these art students.

Two of the teachers in this pro-

gram are Paula Wilson and Sissy
Baumgardner They are the di-
rectors for April. Every Friday
afternoon Sissy and Paula are
busy instructing arts and crafts
at The Golden Age Club.

Saxon, Hester Fight
In Badminton Finals

As a result of the badminton
games played this week, Sylvia
Saxon has advanced to the finals
in the singles tourney by beating
Kay Weber 11-5, 11-9. Jo Hester
has reached the semi-finals as a
result of Margaret McKelway's
forfeit. The tournament has pro-
gressed very slowly this season as
a result of some competitors' fail-
ure to play their matches.

A. A. Manager Barbara Specht
is urging all participants to sched-
ule and play their matches at the
earliest date possible. All partici-
pants in the lower bracket are to
get in touch with their opponents
and it is up to them to make the
contacts for the match. If the
match is not scheduled, the mem-
ber of the lower bracket must for-
feit.

In the doubles tourney Saxon-
Bos well have advanced to the fin-
als by having bested Kennedy-
Starrett 15-1, 15-3, and defeated
Alford-King 15-5, 15-2. The Kelso-
Sylvester duo has reached the
semi-finals as a result of having
beaten Brock-Connor, 15-4, 15-6.
The doubles tourney is also mov-
ing rather slowly, and all doubles
teams are requested to make the
necessary arrangements for match-
es.

Big Shoes To Fill

"The king is dead, long live the king!" As the experienced,
deft, wise seniors terminate their year-long reign over cam-
pus organizations, we the green, clumsy, trembling, naive
juniors wish to commend them for the fine jobs they have
done this year. (They look even finer as we
are faced with the grim prospect of carrying
on after them).

The importance of leadership is often
overlooked by the campus after the fever
of elections has passed, but those in key po-
sitions must bear the weight of responsibility
week in and week out. Pressures pile up but
they are expected to expend super-human ef-
fort and carry on, fulfilling their duties to
their fellow students efficiently, imaginative-
ly, and without complaint. Somehow our
leaders this year have managed to do this.

Special recognition goes to the presidents and editors, Aber-
nethy, McGeachy, McMillan, Muller, Dodd, Dudley, McCoy,
and Roberts.

Here's hoping the new leaders can measure up to their
example. C. F.

Richardson, Tobey Weigh
Mock Raid, S. I. A. S. G.

I would like to take this opportunity to remind our Agnes
Scott community that as free, educated men and women of
America we have many important responsibilities. Primary
among these is the safeguarding of one of the most sacred
privileges we have freedom.

Many years ago George Wash-
ington warned the nation that the
price of freedom and security was
adequate preparedness. The price
of freedom today has not changed.
Mock Air Raid

Friday morning, April 17, at
11:30, air raid sirens were heard
all over the city of Atlanta.
Special mock instructions were
given to residents over the two
Conelrad broadcast frequencies;
several schools in the Atlanta area
had evacuation drills. This was
part of the nationwide Civil De-
fense training exercise, "Operation
Alert."

However, I noticed very little
response to this Alert at, Agnes
Scott. College life continued as
usual. Participation in this pro-
gram would have given us a real
chance to show that, we are con-
scious of the necessity of protect-
ing our country's great tradition
by learning to be ready for any
emergency.

We were lucky that this was a
mock air raid. In case of an actual
foreign air attack, how prepared
would we at Agnes Scott be?
Where would we go? What would
we take with us? These and other
questions like them lie unansw-
ered.

Marci Tobey.

Vespers Ignored

Press Scripts . . .

( ACP) California legislators
are asking for junior college and
high school opinion on whether
18-year-olds should vote in that
state.

East Los Angeles Junior College
CAMPUS NEWS found most stu-
dent staffers interviewed were
"dead against the idea. Most felt
the 18-year-old was not mature
enough nor versed enough on
political matters to vote intelli-
gently."

CAMPUS NEWS continued,
"Some stated they knew many
people of voting age who were
far less mature than many 18-year-
olds, and since the 18-year-old
must fight for his country, he
should have the right to vote."

The newspaper said editorially
that it's time for the "Silent Gen-
eration" to express its feelings on
whether it is ''worthy of the right

to vote Fill the silence with I ization or this year's convention.

intelligent discussion." Mary Hart Richardson

Dear Editor:

Through this channel I would
like both to thank the student
body for my recent opportunity to
attend the S. I. A. S. G. conven-
tion, and to explain to them some-
thing of the background and pre-
sent function of this organization.

The Southern Intercollegiate
Association of Student Government
was founded in 1914 for the pur-
pose of fostering women's stu-
dent government and of acting as
a clearing ground for the mutual
benefit of its members. At pre-
sent women students of twenty-
eight colleges and universities are
represented.

Convention at Stetson
This year the convention was
held at Stetson University in De-
land, Florida. The theme of the
convention was "College Women
Face the Count-down Challenge."
In accordance with this theme,
our keynote speaker was Dr. Jose-
eph Dietrich, a member of the
United States' delegation to the
Geneva Atoms for Peace confer-
ence.

His address gave us a valuable
perspective with which to turn to
the discussion groups where we
considered such campus issues as
honor systems, orientation pro-
grams, and student-faculty-admin-
istration relations. Though these
discussion groups were worthwhile,
the informal gatherings proven
even more valuable. Exchanging
ideas with the widely diversified
group gave me a good opportunity
both to criticize and to newly
appreciate our system.

S. L A. S. G. is loosely organiz-
ed, having neither a stable mem-
bership nor effective channels of
communication between member
schools. Yet our continued alliance
with this organization seems valid,
for Agnes Scott can play a useful
role in realizing its potential both
as a medium of exchange and a
Southern voice for women's stu-
dent governments. In contrast to
N. S. A., we are here "big frogs".
The challenge of such a role seems
worth accepting.

Again, thank you for this op-
portunity. I would welcome any
further questions about the organ-

DO YOU KNOW?

1. Christian A. Herter?

2. Panchrn Llama,

3. Floyd Powell?

4. Ludwig Erhard?

5. Fidel Castro?

Each week a group of students work faithfully to prepare
a meaningful Meditation Vespers program. It's not always
the same group of people, on in most cases it is anonymous
figures who write the meditation and prepare the worship
center. Yet the fact remains that Meditation Vespers are
the result of someone's sincere efforts. What is the response
they receive?

Such figures as ten or four can be found in the column of
statistics on Meditation Vespers attendance. The snap ex-
planation would be that most people go to
church on Sunday night and therefore are
either not here or are preparing to leave.
This is indeed a reasonable conclusion that
is, until you look at the church sign out lists,
for then the bottom falls out of this ration-
alization. The plain truth is that people just
aren't supporting vespers on Sunday!

Here is the one vesper program to be de-
voted to your own thoughts and prayer as
you read the expressions of another, involve
yourself in the simplicity of the worship center, and simply
enjoy the beauty of spring in the dell. This is a time to ex-
perience simultaneously individual devotion and the spirit
of Christian togetherness while sitting among the group.

Of even more importance is the time of the week in which
Meditation Vespers fall. The minutes spent in silence com-
pose a pause in your busy life to analyze the past and to
hope for the future. This is an opportunity to shut the door
on yesterday after gaining as much benefit from it as pos-
sible and to open the door on the promise of tomorrow.

Perhaps the most salient aspect of Meditation Vespers is
the additional time to endeavor to- know God better. Often
a keen ear and silent lips will reveal characteristics of Him
and His purpose that you have never seen before. This is a
time for God to seek the individual.

So, when you find you're going to be here late Sunday
afternoon, plan to invest some time between five and five-
thirty in Meditation Vespers. It will pay valuable dividends
to the treasury of your life both as a college student and
as a woman. Take time to "Be still and know that I am
God" M. L.

Giovanni, Rigoletto, Pagliacci Will Compete
With Atlanta Opera-Goers 7 Glitter, Sparkle

By GERTRUDE FLORRID

The glitter and sparkle of the tiaras and top hats of first-nighters will be matched by the
sparkle of Mozart's Don Giovanni, opening Atlanta's opera season. It concerns the ro-
mantic escapades of Don Giovanni, known to us in English as Don Juan.

As the opera opens, Don Giovanni tries to force his attentions upon Anna and kills her
father, the Commandant, who attempts to aid her. Don Giovanni and his servant, Leporello,
escape, but Anna charges Octavio her betrothed, to avenge her father's death.

Meanwhile, Don Givanni meets
a former sweetheart, Elvira, who
scolds him for deserting her. Leav-
ing Leporello to make explanations
to Elvira, Don Giovanni goes to
the village where he meets a wed-
ding party and proceeds to make
love to the bride, Zerlina. The
libertine and blasphemer culmin-
ates his inglorious career when he
defiantly invites the statue of the
dead Commandant to a banquet.
When the statue appears, Don
Giovanni is carried into the under-
world through a veil of flames.
Carmen on Thursday
On Thursday night, the color-
ful story of Carmen will unfold.
Carmen, a gypsy who works in a
cigarette factory, enchants all of
the soldiers in Seville with her
wanton charms. ven Don Jose,
who was at first indifferent, be-
comes enamored of her. When Car-
men is arrested for fighting with
a fellow factory worker, Don Jose
helps her to escape.

Although Don Jose joins a plot
with gypsy smugglers on her ac-
count, Carmen soon changes her

letto, opens in the Duke's palace.
Count Monterone denounces the
Duke, who has betrayed his daugh-
ter, and puts a curse upon Rigo-
letto, who has mocked him.

Rigoletto is sure that his daugh-
ter, Gilda, is closely guarded, but
he is unaware that the Duke, dis-
guised as a student, has been woo-
ing her. After a romantic scene
between Gilda and the Duke, the
courtiers arrive and, by a ruse,
trick Rigoletto into kidnapping
Gi!da. Swearing vengeance on the
courtiers and on the Duke in part-
icular, Rigoletto arranges with
Sparagucile to assassinate the
Duke and give Rigoletto the body
in a sack to be thrown in the
river. Later, when he opens the
sack, he finds the dying Gilda,
who has sacrificed herself for the
Duke. The curse is complete.
Fledermaus as Matinee

Saturday's matinee brings to the
stage the gaiety and lovely music
of Die riodcrmaus (The Bat). The
complicated plot revolves around
the attempt of Dr. Falke to get

affections to Escamillo, the bull , even with Eisenstein, who had
fighter. Nothing can stop Don Jose played a trick on him, causing him

in his rage and, still desperately
in love, he stabs Carmen.

The "ruins"

On Saturday evening, Cavalleria
Rustioana and I PagllarrJ will be
presented. The setting of Cavalleria
Rustic-ana is a Sicilian village on
Easter morning. Turiddu has re-
turned from the army to find that
his former love, Lola, is married
to Alfio.

He turns to Santuzza, who loves
him, but who fears that he has
discarded her for Lola. Santuzza
seeks the help of Lucia, Turiddu's
mother, who is sympathetic but
unable to help.

Santuzza pleads with Turiddu,
but he scorns her and enters the
church with Lola. The desperate
Santuzza then tells Alfio of his
wife's unfaithfulness and Alfio
challenges Turiddu to a duel by
biting him on the ear, according
to Sicilian custom. The duel en-
sues and Turiddu is killed.

Village Comedy Troupe

I Patfliacei features a prologue,
sung by Tonio, a member of the
village comedy troupe around
which the action of the opera
centers.

As Act I opens Tonio, a hunch-
back, professes his love for Nedda,
wife of the troupe owner, Canio.
When she laughs at him, Tonio
swears ven seance and rushes to
tell Canio of Nedda's meeting
with her lover, Silvio. Cando tries
to kill the lovers, but is prevented
by a troupe member.

As the tense troupe performs
the evening's play, centering
around the unfaithful Columbine,
the accusations and violence be-
come real, and Canio stabs Nedda.
Silvio Ls killed as he rushes to
her aid. The play is ended.

Old South Welcomes Beards
Hoop Skirts, Uniforms Again

By JACKIE DAY

The Old South Ball, important event of the year for all K. A.'s,
entertained a bevy of Scotties in the most elaborate southern style
this past week-end at the Biltmore Hotel in Atlanta. Parties at the
K. A. house were held Friday. Saturday morning brought forth a
colorful parade of old southern ladies and gentlemen hoop skirts,
beards, confederate uniforms and all.

The week-end climaxed with a festive ball for all K. A.'s and their
dates that night. Margaret Goodrich, Helen Culpepper, Jane Hen-
derson, Mary Ellen Barnes, Nancy Buchanan, Cynthia Craig, Lyn
Horn, Wynn Hughes, Jan McGehee, Joanna Russell, Joyce Spivey,
Caroline Thomas, Louise Williams, Sally Blomquist, and Betty Shan-
non attended the gala event. ,

Congratulations to sophomore Boog Smith who has just recently
received a sparkling diamond, from Howard Henderson, a sophomore
at Tech.

Another future bride is Betty Singletary who is engaged to Paul
Belk, a Tech graduate. Eleanor Lee will also be hearing wedding
bells as she becomes Mrs. Dave McNeil. Dave is editor of the Techni-
que and president of the A. T. O.'s at Georgia Tech. Linda Grant
is beaming too this week after receiving a Sigma Chi pin from
Harry Teasley. ,

Spring has come, and so has the urge to "get away from it all!"
Two church retreats this week-end offered the Scott girls this chance.
Needless to say, a great migration occurred. The two retreats were
the Seventh World Missions Conference at Rock Eagle State Park
and the Druid Hills Presbyterian Retreat at Camp Highland in Smyr-
na, Georgia.

The Sigma Chi's at Tech were hosts at a Bohemian party Saturday
night. Sawdust provided the sand effect, and candles in bottles com-
pleted the picture for a very Bohemian atmosphere. Those Scotties
entertained were Suzanne Crosby, Peggy Ford, Lynne Lambert, Jean
Orr, Jane Patterson, Lucy Schow, Louise Kimsey, Carolyn Shirley,
Peggy Stewart, Rose Traeger, Mary Stokes, Bebe Walker, Judy Al-
bergotti, Sandra Davis, Linda Grant, and Ann Holloman.

Nina Marable and Gayle Rowe spent their week-end at Washington
and Lee at the spring dances as guests of Ed Calhoun, a Lambda Chi,
and Walt Shugart, a Kappa Sig.

Scott Sponsors Treat Children
With Ice Cream, Games, Song

BY LINDA LENTZ

The Agnes Scott Gymnasium was the scene of much gala
activity on Saturday, April 18, as about seventy children
participated in the third party of the "Surpassion" project.
From 2:30 to 4:30 p. m., the children played games (similar
to our Black Cat relays), sang, and ate ice cream.

The Scott girls who sponsor

these children joined in the fes-
tivities whole-heartedly, endea-
voring to strengthen the bond of
friendship between themselves
and their children.

"Surpassion" is a relatively new
project which began this past
December. It was thought that
eedy children those who lack love
and attention as well as those who
lack material items would bene-
fit from a big-brother or big-
sister relationship with a college
student. Enthusiastic students of
Agnes Scott, Georgia Tech, vari-
ous hospitals, and working young
people agreed to accept, the res-
ponsibility which such a relation-
ship would involve.

This area is the first to ex-
periment with such a project, but
it has already spread to North
Carolina and Tennessee and may
be started in Japan next year. The
success or failure of the program
here will determine the future of
"Surpassion" in other areas.

Success of Project

How successful has the project
been to date? Well, that varies
from relationship to relationship.
Many sponsors have had the thrill
which comes when they see the
effect that their influence has had
upon their child. One child who
had long been adverse to attend-
ing school found it a very excit-

ing place when her sponsor went
with her one day. The girl has
been going regularly ever since.

In some cases, the relationship
has been progressing more slowly.
Many sponsors were not aware of
all that the project would involve
when they signed their names to
the lists of those who desired
children. It is hoped that these
sponsors might consider the idea
of having a co-sponsor. Then when
one of the sponsors was unable
to see the child, the other could;
this way the child would have the
benefits of two devoted friends.

Transportation for Scott girls
to the Girls' Club can be arranged
through Emily Parker. She should
also be contacted by those who
are interested in finding co-spon-
sors or in finding children to
sponsor. There are still many
eager children waiting for college
friends to give them the love and
attention they deserve.

Volleyball Players
Battle For Top Spot

BY SYLVIA SAXON

The volleyball season is well
under way, and from all appear-
ances of the first games the juniors
and seniors are the teams to beat.

The seniors are especially note-
worthy in their one point victory
over the sophs. Their play was ex-
ceedingly erratic at times and
there were some
tweak spots, but
'considering that
some regular
I players as Shaw,
| Harris and Muel-
ler weren't able
to play, the pro-
spects seem
bright.

Their never-say-die spirit was
most apparent when near the end
of the first half, they were behind
as much as ten points; they ral-
lied to tie, and then to take the
lead. As the season progresses,
their play should become smooth-
er and the kinks be worked out
so that they will have a potent
offense and defense.

The juniors are my pick to cap-
ture first place. They have what
the other teams lack at this stage:
a smooth-working, dependable
first unit with a bevy of strong
reserves and they have experi-
ence. They can take advantage of
the breaks and play a level-headed
game.

Sophomore Threat

The sophomores are strong and
could provide stiff competition for
the crown. However, since they
are already, down one game in the
race, there are too many "ifs" in-
volved. But then, the season has
just begun and many things can
happen. There is an abundance of
good strong players, and the sophs
are probably the dark horse in
the brief season. They could come
up with some startling upsets.

The task of weeding out the
good players and giving them ex-
perience is left to the freshmen.
Spirit and enthusiasm are high,
and with the right kind of com-
bination they could pull some
upsets too. However, the season
is all too brief and there isn't
enough time to pull a championship
team out of the hat.

Predictions

I think the race will wind up

ASC Enthusiasm Grows
As 1964 Goal Approaches

By CAROLINE MIKELL

"Make no small plans; they have no magic to challenge men's minds." This is the theme

that runs through the outline released by the Agnes Scott College Development Office of

the campaign presented by Dr. Alston in convocation this morning. The campaign will be

the culmination of almost ten years activity to raise $10,475,000, $8,050,000 being earmarked

for endowment, and the remaining $2,425,000 being used for additions and improvements

to buildings, grounds, and equipment.

It is intended that this develop- , . . , . ,

conduct the campaign, which will

ment goal, adopted by the Board
of Trustees on June 5, 1953, be
reached by 1964, the seventy-fifth
anniversary of the college; and a
forthcoming capital funds cam-
paign, scheduled for 1960-1961, is
within the framework of this total
development goal. To date, approx-
imately $6,500,000 has been secur-
ed, and the approaching campaign
will concentrate on raising the
$4,000,000 remaining toward the
development goal. This task is
made increasingly significant by
the circumstance that an anony-
mous donor has made a conditional
gift of $500,000 payable if the re-
maining $4,000,000 has been raised
by January 26, 1964.

The firm of Marts and Lundy

Board of Trustees
To Receive Reports

The annual meeting of the board
of trustees of Agnes Scott Col-
lege will be held on Friday morn-
ing, May 8, in the Presidents
Dining Room of the Letitia Pate
Evans Dining Hall. Dr. Wallace
Alston will present his report to
the board at this time.

Miss Carrie Scandrett, Dean of
Students, Dean Kline, Dean of the
Faculty and Mrs. H. Clay Lewis,
president of the national Alumnae
Association, also will present their
reports. Following the meeting,
the group will remain for lunch
in the dining room.

Board Members

The Agnes Scott College Board
of Trustees is composed of the fol-
lowing: Mr. Hal Smith, Chairman
of the Board, Atlanta; Mr. George
Woodruff, Vice-Chairman, Atlan-
ta; Dr. Wallace Alston, Decatur;
Dr. Hugh Bradley, Nashville, Ten-
nessee; Mr. G. Scott Candler, De-
catur.

Other members are Dr. Marshall

actually begin early in 1960. The
firm has already made an exhaus-
tive survey of faculty, administra-
tion, and friends of the college,
and the Development Committee
of the Board of Trustees has been
delegated the full responsibility
and authority for working out
with Marts and Lundy the effect-
ing of the program.

Campus Campaign

Actual campaign activities will
begin on the campus with a con-
centrated period of giving by stu-
dents, faculty, and other person-
nel. After this campus effort the
campaign will extend to approxi-
mately thirty-five geographical
areas away from Atlanta in which
there are concentrations of Agnes
Scott alumnae and friends. March
and April of 1961 will see the con-
clusion of the campaign, at which
time it will be brought back to
the Atlanta area.

Building Program

As the program is still in the
formative state, no quotas have
been set. This will probably be
done later in 1959. At the same
time the steering committee, gene-
ral campaign chairman, and facul-
ty-student chairmen will be ap-
pointed.

Among the needs outlined in
1953 which have already been real-
ized are the completion of Hop-
kins and Walters Halls, and the

renovation of Main, Rebekah, and
Inman. Additional property has al-
so been purchased.

Still remaining in the building
program are the construction of
a new and more adequate gym-
nasium, a student activities build-
ing to be housed in the completely
remodeled gym, a classroom build-
ing for the art and speech de-
partments, and a new dormitory
to replace the cottages.

Endowment and Scholarships
Even more important in Agnes
Scott's aim for greatness is the
increase in the endowment funds,
which will allow for larger fac-
ulty salaries and more scholar-
ships for deserving students. As
the cost of living is constantly in-
creasing, it is necessary that we
be able to offer more remunera-
tion to our faculty in order that
we may be able to retain those
of the high caliber that we now
have, and it is necessary that we
be able to offer more assistance
to girls who might not have the
funds necessary to attend Agnes
Scott.

Today there are in the United
States only seven independent wo-
men's colleges which have greater
financial assets than Agnes Scott,
all of them in the East. This is
our chance to approach them in
the area of finances as we are
already approaching them in the
academic area.

TV Gives May Day Preview;

That B.A. Degree../

"There is a college campus" located by a railroad in Deca-
tur, Georgia, where 600 girls are in the process of getting
a liberal arts degree. By June 1959, 3,931 girls will have re-
ceived a BA from this institution, indicating that they have
completed the course of instruction.

m This sheepskin, however handy to have
I around when applying for a job, is merely
a symbol, not an end in itself.

It indicates primarily, that the bearer has
been fairly well exposed to a type of edu-
cation which is intended to make her "lib-
erally educated."

But what is a liberally educated woman?
Is this what we want to be?

First of all, she is a free woman, at home
in the world of ideas, the spirit, the arts, and the past. She
knows where she, as a citizen of the world, has come from,
where she stands now, and where she is going.

She can think, logically and rationally, as well as creative-
ly: From a knowledge of other persons, other times, other
places, other problems, she can act with maturity when a
decision must be made.

Since she has gone through a process of re-thinking her
own set of values, and, confident of the outcome, she fears
nothing. Her personal standards are high, demanding ex-
cellence in every phase of life, not selfishly, but with a high-
er end in view.

Most of all, she is never a type, a follower of the herd, a
part of the crowd, but an individual who can think for her-
self and who has much to give for the benefit of society.

This is why we are here. This is why we as a college are
striving toward corporate excellence. The present expression
of this constant effort at self-improvement is found in the
campaign planned for next year. The improvement of our
financial situation will enable us to perpetuate the high cali-
ber of professors and students.

Next year a now widely-scattered group of high school
seniors will be here in place of the Class of 1959. It is to these
girls that we must interpret what Agnes Scott stands for,
whether as part of the Sponsor-helper program, as campus
leaders, or as the-girl-down-the-hall.

This calls for self-examination by each of us. Is this what
we want? Is this what we are achieving? C.F.

Clear the Cobwebs!

Spring is the season for sunbaths, May Day, and picnics.
But it is also time to re-evaluate school policies and our re-
sponsibility to them.

In October of this school term, the student body voted to
abolish the dormitory call down system. For the past eight
months, these regulations have been left en-
tirely to the discretion of the individual. The
only punishment for breaking a rule is the
opinion of those living around her.

In questioning various students on the suc-
. cess of doing away with the call down sys-
\ " "~ tern, the general consensus of opinion seems

y I to be that students need reminding that such
laws do still exist. No showers after mid-
_ night, observing quiet hours, and five min-
ute phone conversations were not abolished with the call
downs.

Sometimes absolute quiet hours are bedlam. No thought
is given to those with tests, papers, or just plain need of
sleep. Phone calls have been known to range from fifteen
minutes to an hour while others wait anxiously for that all-
important call.

As examinations draw nearer, it is time for an increase m
student consideration for others by observing the dormitory
regulations.

This remaining month is the last opportunity m this school
year to prove that we as mature college students can keep
these self-imposed regulations. When each student abides
hv the rules, then life in the dorm will be pleasant for all.

Tibetan Revolt Arouses Asians
From 'Passive Neutralism 7 Plan

By MARC I TOBEY

Peiping's suppression of the Tibet revolt is bringing with
it a heavy loss of Chinese Communist prestige among Asian
powers.

Under the guidance of Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal
Nehru, most of the young states bordering Tibet have been
relying upon a policy of passive "neutralism" and have re-
sisted allying themselves both militarily and politically with
either the Soviet or the Western bloc.

But public opinion in Asia has
been stirred by the recent exam-
ple of ruthless Communist inter-
vention which has occurred so
near to home.

No one is fool-
ed by Peiping's
radio broadcasts
accusing Indian
officials of hold-
ing t h e Dalai
Lama by force,
any more than
any one accepts
the validity of

the statements that the rebellion
in Tibet was sparked by "imperi-
alism, the Chiang Kai-shek band,
and foreign reactionaries." This
week, Peiping radio bluntly
named Nehru's daughter, Indira,
and his sister, Madame Pandit, as
co-conspirators of the
reactionaries.

Indians Speak Out
In the face of these insults,
Nehru is finding it difficult to re-
main noncommittal. In an address
to the Indian Parliament, the
Prime Minister charged the Chi-
nese Communists with "resorting
to language of the cold war,"
adding that the accusation that
the Dalai Lama was under duress

was "both unbecoming and en-
tirely void of substance."

Other persons of influence in
India, Burma, Ceylon, and Indo-
nesia have also started to look
with suspicion on China's motives.
Among these is an Indian Con-
gress Party member, Bhakt Dar-
shan, who recently expressed the
fear that China "may have am-
bitions to extend her influence to
other neighboring countries."
Buddhist Resentment
To the thousands of Buddhists
of Southeastern Asia, the Tibetan
revolt has religious as well as
political significance. The rough
treatment that many Buddhist
monks received at the hands of
the Chinese Communists during
the crisis has aroused much in-
dignation among this religious
Tibetan group. The Asian Buddhists are
now listening with care to the
words of the highly respected re-
ligious leader of the Tibetan
Buddhists, the Dalai Lama.

Tibet's neighbors are facing a
new situation: that of a Commu-
nist, spearhead directed at the
heart of non-Communist Asia.
This calls for a re-evaluation of
their approach to the totalitarian
world.

Hungarian Student Group
Shows Alarm Over Tibet

Editor's note: Last week we received the following resolu-
tion of the Association of Hungarian Students in North Am-
erica, Inc. regarding the Tibetan situation.

With deepest shock and indignation did the Association of
Hungarian Students in North America receive the news of the
violation of the people of Tibet by the armed might of the
People's Republic of China

Fox Features Murder, Trial;
'Nature Girl' Plays at Loew's

By ANN PARKER

Psychology and picnics present a peculiar composition for
"partying" in the metropolitan area.

Compulsion at the Fox electrifies the "crime of the cen-
tury": the Leopold-Loeb murder case.

Bradford Dillmen and Dean
Stockvvell star as the spoiled, rich
sadist and his too intelligent com-
panion, who determine to "explore
all the possibilities of human ex-
perience." Their perfect murder
lapses into a heap of childish er-
rors. From this point the film
changes from a study in abnormal
psychology to the tense trial
dominated by Orson Wells. His
passionate oratory saves the two
from the death sentence.

For us Hungarians, the violent
suppression of the spiritual and
human rights is not a new experi-
ence. Because the crushing of the
Hungarian revolution of 1956 was
a greatly similar occurance on
the stage of history and because
we were the victims of that brut-
ality we turn with the deepest
sympathy to the people of the
ancient land of Tibet and its
spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama,
in their present plights. They are
our brothers and sisters in com-
mon fate. Once again history is
witness to the colonial policies of
communism as applied to Tibet.

In connection with the suppres-
sion of the Tibetan revolt the
Association of Hungarian Students
in North America wishes to state
that it:

deplores the action of the Chi-
nese Communist government and
its minions in Tibet;

expresses its indignation over
the unfounded accusations of Pek-
ing directed against the political

leaders and the people of India;

places on record its solidarity
with the victims of the oppression;

calls attention to the fact that
the Chinese Communist youth
delegation will attend the coming
World Youth Festival in Vienna
shouting the slogans of "brother-
hood" and "anti-colonialism";

Scotties Frolic With Dooley;
First Nighters Shine at Met

By LUCY SCHOW

Scotties had to make choices between all sorts of activities this
week ranging from the fabulous, glittering Metropolitan operas to
some of the first of the springtime picnics.

The Tech Sigma Chi's added more persuasion to their invitation
to boating and picnicking at Park's Lake by providing a combo for
dancing. Finding this the most enjoyable time possible were Lynne
Lambert, Mary Clayton Bryan, Sue Lane, Wendy Boatwright, Jean
Orr, Ann McLeod, and many others.

Emory also attracted its share of Scott girls to its big weekend,
Dooley's Frolics. Scotties watching the antics of Emory's spirited
skeleton at the dances and jazz concert included Ann Whisnant,
Beverly Kenton, Carolyn Davies, Pete Brown, and Carey Bowen.
Performing her first official duties this weekend was Mary Culpepper,
the new sweetheart of the Emory SAEs. Congratulations, Mary.

Many Scotties ventured out of Atlanta either to go home or to col-
lege weekends. Attending the big Formal at the University of Georgia
were Louise Kimsey, Rose Marie Traeger, Carol Williams, Frances
Perry, and Helen Clyde Hereford, Thelma Jenkins, Hollis Smith, and
Judy Halsell partied at Duke while Lillian Smith and Peggy Venable
were at Clemson. Emily Bailey journeyed to the University of Tennes-
see to join in their Carnacus activities.

Several young men's fancies have also turned to thoughts of pins
as Lanny Johnston, a Phi Delt graduate from the University of Flori-
da pinned Anne Holloman, and Donald Hanson gave his ATO pin to
Karol Kay Bussard at a FSU party.

Anne Modlin is pinned to Dr. Nat Burkhardt, an SAE graduate of
Tennessee who is now interning at Grady, and recently Nell Archer
was pinned to Pete Condon, a Phi Sigma Kappa at Tech. More Con-
gratulations!

Tech SAE Sweetheart Mary Dunn is celebrating the first anni-
versary (one week) of the diamond that SAE President Coley Evans
gave her. Over the weekend Don Trent, a Columbia Seminary man,
gave Peggy Britt a beautiful solitaire.

Seniors Travel To Red Square
As 'Carmenov' Finishes Season

By DOLLY BATES

This past week the Met has put on a real spectacular in
its production of some of the world's best loved operas. To
culminate this fine program of the Met there will be a stu-
pendous performance of My Fair Carmenov, adapted from
Bizetski's Carmen. This will be presented by the venerable
senior class Friday, May 8, in Gaines Auditorium.

Sally Sanford, co-chairman

Stanislouse Dubinski (Caro-
lyn Hazard) preoccupies him-
self with vodka as Carmenov
(Martha Jane Mitchell) tries
unsuccessfully to woo him.

State Dance Group
To Meet on Campus

The campus community and
members of the modern dance
group will be hostesses to the
Georgia Dance Association
Saturday, May 16.

Franziska Boas, a world fam-
ous modern dancer, will begin the
day at 10:30 with a master class
to be taught in the gymnasium.
Her subject for the class will be
dance techniques and the use of
p ercussion instruments for
rhythm. Because of extended
travel with her father who is an
anthropologist, she has seen many
native performances and will dis-
cuss the use of drums in these
dances. Admission is free and all
students interested in dance are
invited to attend.

along with Sissy Daniel, promises
"songs of genius and a cast of
thousands in this show four years
in the making." Not only will
there be famous personnages in
the audience, but there will be an
orchestra, beginning the opera by
a lovely overture, madly conduct-
ed by Annette Whipple.

The renowned stars include pri-
ma donna Martha Jane Mitchell as
Carmenov, dashing Jorie Muller
as Nikolai Donovich Joseveski (D.
J.), and imposing Carolyn Hazard
as Stanislouse (Stan) Dubinski.
Carmenov works in a cigar fac-
tory in Moscow, the setting for
this spectacle. D. J. is a captain
in the Red Army, while Stan is
a pretender to the throne, and
the leader of the Saboteurs.
Grishkin (Caroline Dudley) sus-
tains the Saboteurs by bringing
them vodka in their underground
hideaway.

Carmenov Plot

The four act extravaganza
opens in Red Square. Carmenov
enters on a cigarette break from
her job in the cigar factory. D.
J. enters and falls head over
heels in love with Carmenov as she
throws a rose at him and knocks
him down.

The second act takes place in
an underground hideaway where

Stan is awaited with great antici-

falls in love with him (but he is
not keen on her). Stan, D. J., and
Carmenov proceed to sing a fiery
trio. When the secret police leap
out, they all freeze.

Farther underground is the lo-
cation of the third scene which
reaches a climax in a Stan D. J.
dual, and the prophecy of blood
in Red Square tomorrow. In the
fourth and last act the plotters
are discovered by the police and
sent off to the salt mines in Sibe-
ria. Carmenov is overwhelmed
with grief at the prospect of
Stan's leaving. She rejects D. J's.
proposal and stabs herself. And D.
J., not being able to live without
Carmenov, decided to end it all
and "with a kiss (he) dies."

Tale Of Early May Days Unveils
Colorful Themes, Familiar Faces

By MILDRED LOVE

"Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fairest one of all?"

"Why Runita McCurdy, of course! After all she is the A.S.C.
May Queen for 1959, you know!"

Yes, Miss Mirror has the proper thought in mind since
preparations are progressing at a rapid pace for Saturday's
May Day over which Queen Runita and her court will rule.

Mystery reigns supreme at the

moment, however, as the May Day
Committees co-ordinate the details
of a pageant which is considered
"entirely different." (The one
known feature of the existing event
is that there will be a rainbow
court instead of the traditional
white one).

Since guessing about the future
onJy tends to increase your case
of wiggles, gentle reader, perhaps
a look at the concrete part will
help you to remain calm. The 1911
annual observes that there were
"no May-pole dances in the rain,"
and the celebration of the class of
1903 was described as a "crude or
simple affair."

First May Day

The first real production was
sponsored about 1913 by the Y. W.
C. A. as a money-making pro-
ject. The second May Day featur-
ed the traditional May Pole
Dance. (All of the girls were awed
by the talent of the leader who
had actually taken dancing les-
sons, and one dancer became so
flustered that she had to substi-
tute two brown stockings for a
misplaced belt!)

The first May Days were held
on the lawn of Inman. (This was
prior to the installation of the
drive in front of Main Hall.) The
dell was later created and develop-
ed to its present state.

Familiar Faces

In 1925 the "something differ-
ent" in the May Day was a car-
nival whose proceeds went to the

new gymnasium. Miss Eugenie
Dozier, a familiar figure to many
present Scotties, was chairman of
the 1926 and 1927 May Days and
advisor for many more.

Miss Bridgeman was a costume
manager for the 1929 May Day,
and Miss Wilburn, who has been
working on May Days off and on
since 1919, was faculty chairman.
(It is interesting to note that the
1928-29 committee went on record
as saying "there will be an effort
made to have an entirely differ-
ent May Day".) In 1934 Miss Allen
was chairman of the activities
which centered around a French
May Day theme, "La Fete du Mai."
Both Mrs. Lapp and Miss Leyburn
have served as faculty advisors
several years.

Past Themes

The themes of past May Days
have been varied. They include

Poor Support In Softball
Draws Saxon's Attention

By SYLVIA SAXON

The games which were scheduled last week were pitiful!
Three of the teams could not even find enough people to
play, although notices and posters had been strewn all over
the campus announcing the games. I counted two people in
the stands at the time the games were to start.

It seems to me that interest has '

been so slack in softball my three
years here that there should be
some sort of re-evaluation of the
sport. Interest seemed to be
rather keen for volleyball and it's
a shame that softball has been
so ignored.

I think there
are several rea-
sons for this de-
crease in inter-
est: 1) it is too
late in the sea-
son to start a
new sport; 2)
softball requires
* more skill than,
for example, volleyball; 3) fewer
people have indulged in softball
in high school and thus do not
have the necessary experience;
and 4) there have been too many
activities going on this past week
or so: opera, senior opera, May

Day, etc.

It appears that the interest has
become increasingly worse and
that something should be done;
since participation comes from
the student body, it will naturally
have to find some solution. The
A.A. board will welcome any sug-
gestions for the improvement of
the sports program.

Games will be played this week;
let's see if we can support the
program a little better. It's very
discouraging to those who partici-
pate in the sport to practice for
at least two hours each week and
then have to forfeit.

Traveling Manners

It seems that half the population of The Ivory Tower is
taking off for Europe this summer faculty, students, and
the family dog.

Unfortunately, American tourists in general either forget
what little breeding they have, or else prove it a thin veneer,
for they often act as though they were on a safari in Bantu
country, where the natives are glad enough for a few
brightly colored beads. Therefore, any behavior is acceptable.

We Americans have a reputation for expecting to find the
same facilities and comfort of our modern homes and hotels
at night while searching for "atmosphere" during the day.

There seems to be an utter lack of attempt at adapting one-
self to the food, company, and moreys of non-English speak-
ing people. Little effort is exerted to find out and to be in-
terested in "how the other fellow lives."

We have heard of girls who have worn bathing suits in a
gondola on Venice's Grand Canal. This is the equivalent of
Atlanta's Peachtree or New York's Broadway. Others have
raised cain at foreign ways of doing things.

A trip to Europe is usually a once-in-a-lifetime affair, and
we certainly want to have a grand time, but it is only decent
to show the same respect to citizens of another country that
we give to our fellow Americans.

After all, while Europe is not sacrosanct, it is the heme of
millions of people much like ourselves, and of our ancestors
many years ago. C.F.

Scholar vs Leader

Last week a visiting alumnae spoke in chapel and presented
a subject which should call for a re-evaluation of ideas. As
Mary Beth Weston discussed with a great deal of enthusiasm
the value of an education, she made the point that young
people sh ould devote their four years of college life to acade-

rmic work rather than become too involved
W < in extra-curricular activities. With this
y&m thought she exposed a very controversial
'S$ ' subject and one which probably has been
considered by us all.
d Because of a tendency of students to be-

come too active on campus once the interest
appears, there is good reasoning behind this
statement. The administration offers many

excellent courses, and with the superior

faculty that is here, it seems logical that we should concen-
trate on the academic side of college life without letting the
various clubs and organizations have any part. As was pointed
out by the speaker, the results of this education will be of
value for a life-time; and for many of us formal study will
stop after these four years. With this thought the conclusion
seems to be that we should take as many courses as possible
and completely concentrate our time on them.

However, there is a great benefit to be received from the
activities on campus if we join and participate with true in-
terest and enjoyment. The various projects here help to de-
velop a sense of responsibility and to create initiative which
might not be brought out in other ways. Participation in
these areas also makes the student feel that she has a place
and is needed a feeling which does not develop just through
the mere attendance of classes.

Both sides of this question can be understood, but it seems
that either one taken alone would be unbalanced. The prob-
lem remains up to the individual to decide what she wishes
to gain here and how she will accomplish it. At a time when
clubs are open for membership and new responsibilities are
being accepted, the rising sophomores are becoming active
in campus affairs, sophomore helpers and junior sponsors
have been chosen to lead the new class, it might be well for
each of us to reconsider these ideas. What place do we hold?
Do we think of ourselves as a part of the community? F.G.

Big Four Ministers Meet,
Negotiate Seating Details

By MARC I TOBEY

During their first week of meetings at the Place des Na-
tions in Geneva, the Big Four Foreign Ministers, Christian
Herter (U.S.), Selwyn Lloyd (United Kingdom), Maurice
Couve de Murville (France), and Andrei Gromyko (USSR),
have made some " tremendous decisions."

For example, the shape of the mined by the efforts that the

conference table has been agreed
upon (round); it has been decided
that Czechoslovakia and Poland
should not be
seated at the
conference, and
that East and
West Germany
should partici-
pate (at separate
rectangular ta-
bles) as advisors
to the Big Four.

This beginning serves to con-

rm the suspicions of the West-
ern world that the Soviets intend-
ed to negotiate not so much about
what should be done as about how
it should be done.

Negotiations Difficult

In fact, it is sometimes diffi-
cult to see how anything but a
maximum of propaganda and a
minimum of agreement can result
from this conference, for behind
the crises over Berlin lies the bas-
ic world struggle between East
and West.

The question, then, that the
Western bloc is asking at Geneva
is whether or not the Soviets are
ready to abandon their world con-
quering ambitions and cooperate
in a peace based on meaningful
and dependable agreements.

The extent of progress which
can be made at this point half
way up the summit will be deter-

S A E Reigns In Pin Poll;
Sophomores Lead Pinees

By MARY CULPEPPER

Although only 30 per cent of the student body participated,
the NEWS' u pinning' , poll has uncovered some very sur-
prising and interesting information.

Probably the most interesting is

the number of pinned girls at Ag-
nes Scott, which is 23 per cent
of the students responding to the
poll.

Sophomores Lead

As expected, the sophomores
are first with 30 per cent of its
class members pinned. Second is
the senior class with 27 per cent
pinned; then the juniors with 21
per cent, and the freshmen with
12 per cent.

Of those pinned, 4 per cent have
been pinned before; and 1 per cent
have been pinned three times.
Surprisingly enough, only one per-
son has been pinned more than
three times.

According to the results of the
poll, 45 per cent of the girls
pinned are pinned to boys from
schools other than Tech and Em-
ory. Tech is next with 41 per cent

of us wearing their pins, and Em-

Most Popular Pin
The most popular pin on campus
is the SAE pin, with 14 per cent
of those included in the poll wear-
ing them. Next is the KA pin with
12 per cent, the Sigma Chi pin
with 10 per cent, and the ATO
pin with 8 per cent wearing them.

To 63 per cent, "pinning" means
being engaged; and to almost all
that don't think this, it means
engaged to be engaged. Of the 23
per cent pinned, 19 per cent plan
to be married.

Dating On The Side
Nearly 45 per cent of those
pinned think that it's all right to
date other boys if the "pin-mate"
is in some distant city or college
and if the "pin-mate" knows about
it. In this respect the juniors
seem most eager to date, with 58
per cent of them answering "yes."

Of the students participating,
40 per cent think that the dating
situation creates a pressure to get
pinned; while 13 per cent think
that "pinning" is not a good prac-
tice.

Cotton Ball Calls Memphians;
'Greeks' Swing With Marteri

By KATHY NORFLEET

The past week-end seems to have had much entertainment for many
lucky Scott girls, the main attraction being the IFC parties at Tech.
Dancing with their dates to the music of Ralph Marteri on Friday
night were Lana Mueller, Bonnie Meyer, Camille Strickland, Kathy
Norfleet, Laura Ann Knake and Sara Ann Nelms.

A party at Robinson's given by the SAE's at Emory included Mary
Culpepper, Ann Whisnant, Martha Ann Williamson, Emily Bivens,
and Jane Bennett.

Houseparties at Tech and Emory were also very popular this w eek-
end. At the Sigma Chi House at Tech, Ann Wood, Kit Kallman, Mary
Wayne Crymes, Judy Albergotti, Mary Stokes and Pat Flythe had a
ball!

Nancy Hall and Rosemary Kittrell were entertained at the Tech
Kappa Sig House, while the Beta's were hosts to Susan Hoagland
and Joanna Russell.

Four very excited girls left Friday to go to the Cotton Carnival
in Memphis, Tennessee. Mimi Phillips, a princess in the festivities,
entertained Ellen Crawford. Genie McLemore and Suzanne Crosby
also reigned as ladies-in-waiting.

Five new names have recently been added to the list of pinned
girls. Liz Acree is wearing Jimmy Watts' Sigma Nu pin next to her
sweetheart pin.

Harriett Smith is wearing a PiKA pin from Tech, while Cindy
Craig is pinned to KA Allen Ruster from Tech. KA Bill Prewitt from
Sewanee has claimed Esther Thomas, while Edith Towers is now
sporting the SAE pin of Jim Phillips from Emory.

Suzanne Hoskins took the big step this week end and accepted an
Emory KA pin.

Melba Cronenburg has been dazzling all her friends with the new
diamond Ralph Bassett, Davidson graduate, gave her.

Don Willoghby surprised Barbara Varner with a ring a week ago
last night.

Kay Lamb likewise surprised the campus yesterday when she ap-
peared with a diamond from Ray Rouark, a Sigma Chi grad from Tech.

Whipple Receives
First Kimmel Award

The first presentation of the
Harley R. Kimmel award was
made this year to Annette Whip-
ple, a member of the class of
1959. This award was established
by Mrs. Kimmel and Nancy Kim-
mel, a member of the class of
1958, to honor the member of
Blackfriars who made the most
valuable contribution to produc-
tions.

Purpose of Trophy

In speaking of the award, Nan-
cy remarked: "The trophy was
not intended to replace the Claude
S. Bennett trophy for acting which
is and should be the primary
emphasis of the club.

"But because many members do
not act and the plays would not be
possible without the production
staff, the award was established
to honor the members who would
not be eligible for the Claude S.
Bennett trophy, but who had con-
tributed as valuably to the activi-
ties of Blackfriars."

Agnes Scott College Honors Seventieth Graduating Class

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Monday, June 8, 1959

Felicity, Angelika, Mildred Relate
impressions Of Agnes Scott Years

FELIC ITY EVANS

In August 1956 I was invited to
come to visit the United States of
America. I could hardly believe
my ears when I was asked and
promptly dismissed the matter,
knowing that it would never ma-
terialize.

Suddenly, letters from the
United States began to arrive;
how often I used to stare at those
green 15 cent stamps with the
Statute of Liberty on them, and
how often I used to sigh and say
. . . "I wonder if the United States
are really as glamorous and in-
viting as the films make them to
be, and are ALL American males
so handsome," . . . having violent
visions of Cary Grant.

September 1958, I found myself
boarding the B.O.A.C trans-Atlan-
tic airliner at London Airport. I
couldn't think why ... all I knew
was that I was going to America
and going to study for one year, in
a girls' college called Agnes Scott,
which was near a large city
Atlanta. I had received letters
from a number of various people,
and had been given a really vivid
picture of the States, and it all
seemed just out of this world to
me.

Impressions of New York

After landing at Idlewild Inter-
national Airport, and being
whisked around on the New York
highways and seeing Manhattan,
I suddenly realized that I was
actually in America

American Friendliness

On arriving at Agnes Scott the
following Thursday, and meeting
a sea of smiling American girls,
I soon began to wonder if Ameri-
can girls ever felt sad, for wher-
ever I went I was greeted with a
cheery "Hi," and a large grin.

The way the upper classmen
treated the large flock of new-
comers just amazed me. In Eng-
land a freshman would never dare
speak to an upper classman, and
as for giving them parties and be-
ing nice tc them . . . well, it just
isn't done.

Happy [Memories

The people I have met here at
Scott have shewn a great deal of
kindness to me, and I wish I coula
say "thank you" personally to
everyone, for all. big or small,
that they have done for me. I have
appreciated the warm and sincere
hospitality which everyone has ex-
tended to me.

It is w ; .th nanny memories of
Scott and the United States of
America that I return to England,
and I do hope that one day each
of you \\'V\ have the opportunity
of visiting Europe.

Igitur"

tion Wales!

ANGELIKA VEITH

This look back to the past year
makes me realize what a rich,
eventful, and exciting times these
ten months at Agnes Scott have
been.

When I came over last fall, I
still had the picture of Paris in
my mind. Light, noise, masses of
people and me right in the middle
of it all.

What a change, Paris Decatur.
Agnes Scott seemed to be a little
peaceful jewelry box, one of those
which you have to open up and
empty down to the bottom in
order to find the most precious
pieces.

First you are fooled by the
cheaper stones, you get angry and
criticize. You might even close
the box for a short while until you
realize that there ought to be
some more precious things be-
neath the surface; then you final-
ly get down to the bottom and
you never want to give the little
box away.

This is exactly the way Agnes
Scott worked on me. First I sim-
ly couldn't believe that all the
friendliness, hospitality, religious
activity could be genuine. I had
never seen any larger group where
there was shown so much confi-
dence and trust in people thus
I doubted everything and called
all Agnes Scott people hypocrites.

The time went by and the day
came when I had to realize that
there were deep genuine feelings.
From that, minute I enjoyed every
single day.

I was proud to be an Agnes
Scott girl and to represent the
college. You should have seen how
mad I became when some Yankee
asked me whether A. S. C. were
a finishing school. I believe I gave
him a two hour lecture about the
high academic standards, the in-
teresting girls, and the outstand-

MILDRED LING

Four years have come and gone!
I can hardly realize that I have
been at Agnes Scott for four
years.

Today, as I stand at the thres-
hold, ready to enter into a new
experience of life, I cannot but
look back over my four years at
Agnes Scott with mingled feel-
ings of joy and grief.

Freshman Adjustments

There were a great deal of ad-
justments, as I sought to fit my-
self into the standard way of col-
lege living. Moreover, being away
from home for the first time in a
strange, and foreign country, I
tried hard to make myself study.
Second Home

It was not long before I came
to regard Agnes Scott as my sec-
ond home. It was then that the
many lovely and dear friends at
Agnes Scott began gradually to
take the place of my relatives
and parents in Malaya, so that. I
could be less homesick than I was
at first.

Through the years, I have learn-
ed to make use of all the excel-
lent academic facilities at Agnes
Scott and to cultivate a genuine
appreciation for study, as well
as for the extra-curricular activi-
ties. I have often been amazed
at the numerous and sundry
chores, plus the studies too, which
I was able to accomplish, all at
the same time.

I can see that if I were in Ma-
laya, I would not be able to accom-
plish half as much as I have here
in the United States. Undoubted-
ly, I can attribute this advantage
to the numerous time-saving con-
trivances which I find, not only
present here at Agnes Scott, but
also everywhere else in the United
States.

Most Important Ingredients

The most wonderful element
that I find at Agnes Scott, how-
ever, is the frankness, the sin-
cerity and lovely friendliness that
prevail in every aspect of the
daily contact on campus. It was
the willing spirit of helpfulness,
then, that has made me feel less
homesick than I would have other-
wise.

Thus, as I prepare to leave the
College and I go on to pursue

rther studies in other places,
and even as I return to Malaya
later on, the many dear friends
that I have made, the numerous
social and personal contacts that
I have had, the free and easy fac-
ulty-student relationships, and
the scores of campus-community
gatherings such as picnics, skits
and class-activities, will always
make me thirst and long for "the
good old Agnes Scott days" and
the "American college way of
life." All these will certainly
mean much more to me than all
the material comforts that I have
had in the United States.

"Thank You"

Thus, I would say that to my
Senior classmates, to Dr. Alston,
to Miss Scandrett, to Dean Kline,
to my standing parents, Miss Wil-
burn and Miss Murphy, and to all

i who are contributing their en-
ergies on the campus in order to
make our lives richer and happier
at Agnes Scott, I am MOST

| grateful.

Wherever I go then, I shall al-
ways remember what Agnes Scott

' has meant to me and what she
has done for me in the four years

' while I have been a student here.

"Now we are young, let us rejoice, for life is fleeting."

College life and college people are a breed all to them-
selves. The social life is typically gay and giddy, while the
academic life is deep and searching. Traditions are often
strange and annoying, but clung to with a sense of pride and
loyalty. Friendships spring up within a group of young peo-
ple with similar tastes, goals, and convictions.

The seniors who have graduated today are
leaving this life for "the cold cruel world,"
which is the Great Unknown for many of
them at this point. Whether the graduate is
looking forward to a job or marriage, if not
both, she will face a reception somewhat less
cordial than she received as an incoming-
freshman.

Away from the Sheltering Arms she will
discover that her way will not be guided and made pleasant
as it has been here. Her success will depend upon her indi-
vidual worth, in terms of ability, effort and willingness to
try to understand ideas alien to her own. Yet at the same
time, she must maintain her own integrity.

As the new graduates scatter into a world of international
and local tension, some, not sure whether their fiances or
husbands will be called into a war or whether the teaching
jobs they had depended upon will disappear as schools close,
we hope that they will look back to the happiness, inspira-
tion, and security of their college years when the greatest
calamity was getting unpinned or receiving a D on a term
paper.

We hope they can look back and gain strength from the
memory of the people like Dr. Alston and Miss Scandrett,
of RE Week speakers and discussions, of philosophy and Bible
classes, of sincere friendships, of the whole spirit of ASC. CF

Sincere Ideals Vital

Many of our most cherished ideas and ideals escape the
usual end-of-the-year evaluation to which we subject our
community activities.

A word often used to characterize the college attitude is
"concern." This is one ideal which is so ac-
cepted that it is used as a criterion for eval- '
uation. The word implies a genuine interest
and care, something which motivates our
relations.

However, the word can become nothing
but an overworked euphemism for curiosity.
Likewise, being concerned often stems from
general psychological happiness which is ex-
pressed in an "I love the whole world" atti-
tude.

Realistically, we can be concerned only about those whom
we love, the people whom we really know. Therefore, our
individual capacity for concern is limited: the scope of our
concern for Agnes Scott can validly result only from a chain
of individual concern of which involvement in this college is
the common denominator.

As students or recent graduates, we will be called upon
to express our concern for the college through contribution
to the drive for increased endowment. Since our response
will be an index of our involvement, it will be beneficial to
re-examine some of our attitudes.

Which concept of concern will be retained by the class of
1959? Which application of this ideal will be given to the
class of 1963?

Evaluation can give a refreshed, honest, vitalized concept
of caring. The strength of the community and the success
of our aims for Agnes Scott may depend on the validity of
our idea of involvement. E.T.

'p^pr To The Editor

Tired Old Senior Approves
Opening Of Secret Garden

Dear Editor,

As a wide-eyed, would-be fresh-
man, pursuing the contents of Ag-
"es Scott's various bulletins and
brochures. I was intrigued by the
picture of the library terrace
study area.

As an actual freshman, sopho-
more, junior, and senior, I was
even more intrigued by the fact

that, evidently, the outside tables
were "forbidden fruit."

Many thanks, therefore, to the
library staff for opening the
closed doors and allowing a tired
old senior to spend her last days
in the serenity of sunshine and
catalogue promises fulfilled.

'59er's Paint Masterpiece
Of Colorful Experiences

Face Lifting To Fix
Rebekah's Parlors

There will be some changes
made this summer in Rebekah
Scott, Inman, and Main dormi-
tories.

The most noticeable will be in
Rebekah, where the old freight
elevator will be replaced by one
for passengers. The recreation
room in Rebekah is going to be
divided in half, the east wing will
be separated into four date par-
lors while the other half will re-
main one big room.

The south wing of Rebekah will
be devoted to office and storage
space. Plans are being made to
remove the hedge around the back
stone steps and to landscape that
area.

The plumbing on fourth Main is
to be renewed. In addition to these
changes, the general summer pro-
gram of painting and repair will
be carried out in all the dormi-
tories.

Chain, Song, Poem
Highlight Class Day

Six o'clock in the morning on
Saturday, June 7, marked the
beginning of the Senior Class Day
of 1959.

The sophomores breakfasted at
the grill before going to pick
daisies for the daisy chain woven
for the Class Day festivities of
their sister class.

Formal Class Day exercises be-
gan at 4:00 in the May Day Dell,
with the seniors entering in their
caps and gowns, accompanied by
the sophomores carrying the dai-
sy chain and singing several class
songs to the seniors.

Wardie Abernethy, lifetime
president, narrated the program
which was interspersed with class
songs and included the class poem
by Sally Sanford.

At this time the seniors pre-
sented their gifts to the school,
their sponsors, Miss Llewellyn
Wilburn and Dr. Calder; their
mascot, Forsythia Chang, and to
their class president, Suzi Bailey.

After the Alma Mater, the
Seniors moved to the quadrangle
singing "God of the Marching
Centuries."

That night Bookburning in
front of Main was followed by the
capping of the Juniors in the little
quadrangle.

The years 1955-1959 formed a
masterpiece a finished product
splashed onto the canvas of Agnes
Scott College campus by those
talented young artists collectively
called the class of '59. And as any
artist earnestly feels, there is a
sense of satisfaction about a job
well done; but at the same time
there is also the typical sense of
dissatisfaction that the composi-
tion is never quite complete.

Such a tension as is built up by
the two feelings about the master-
piece produces a balance.

This balance includes in its
scope the harmony of the shapes,
the perspective of the relation-
ships of the classes, the depth of
the vision, and finally the direc-
tion under which the movement
occurs.

Four Dimensions

The design becomes realistic in
its four-dimensions the dark
tones of our Senior year.

The outline takes shape and
form as the color is applied and
blended into complementary tones,
and values, too, leave an im-
pressionistic stamp on the critic.

To all those painters who may
become masters in time, and to all
those who shall become masters
but shall retain their appreciation
of the masterpieces of which they
are a part, this painting is dedi-
cated as an expression of the best
that was in the creation.

The Painting"

Within the depths of this mas-
terpiece are dark yet lovely tones.

These tones are of our Fresh-
man year. Dark because they
represent a mixture of many
things: introductions of every
variety, of parties, of dates with
Emory Wheels and Tech Rats, of
new friends.

The harmony, and, yes, the dis-
cord of our Freshman year were
reflected in our delightfully com-
plementary moods of soaring en-
thusiasm and deflated egos.

l ast Founder's Day Holiday

That year witnessed the Last
Founder's Day Holiday, our First
Bridge Lessons, long hours in
Hopkins Living Room, anxious
sunbathers o n Inman Porch
Beach.

None the less, the dark mixture
of these varied elements began to
blend, to become a whole.

These tones of our Freshman
year were a perfect background
for our life to be, for the to-
getherness which would be ours
at Agnes Scott.

Sophomore Fear

Our eyes move from the darker
tones of our Freshman year to

In flamboyant Red tones, the cigarette girls open "My Fair
Carmenov" one of the class of '59's most exquisite works of art.

Mary Hammond leads Caspar's
class in their favorite. "There
is a College Campus," Black
Cat winner in 1956.

the cool and sparkling tones ex-
pressive of our sophomore year.

This was a big year for the
fifty-niners as we invaded Old
Walter's Hall. Living in Walter's
Palace brought nearly all of us
under one roof for a full and
rolicking year.

Now we knew each other better
than ever before. We were able
to work together with increased
vigor . . . and it paid off.

Triumph and Pleasure

It was a triumphant year, full
of victories and happy moments.
We were basketball champs, we
took pride and pleasure in Dr.
Stuke's Day, and we masqueraded
at our very own Mardi Gras
dance.

However crammed with victories
this year may have been, it wasn't
an easy year . . . Heavy academic
work and drudgery became the
essential element in forming the
cool tones of our. Sophomore year.

Yet as we helped our sister class
graduate we began to realize the
full meaning of our song that
brought us fame at Black Cat.
Juniors

Oh, how lovely those bright
tones of our Junior year. How rich
and sparkling. So many bright as-
pects to this year. We were upper-
classmen now. We had unlimited
social engagements.

Cottages

How smugly self-sufficient we
were as we moved into our. own
cottages and as we accepted new
and greater responsibilities . . .
proud of what we were and what
had gone before.

Junior Jaunt was a great suc-
cess and added to our prestige.
With Spring came Junior Ban-
quet, Mortar Board tapping, and
the election of campus officers.
The latter helped us to realize
that we were about to arrive at
our long dreamed-of goal.

Spirit Trophy

Climatic of our Junior Year was
the winning of the Spirit Trophy
. . . and so were spurred on with
zeal toward our Senior year.

In the foreground of our paint-
ing are the prominent warm tones
that indicate our Senior year.

These tones complete and em-
phasize the perspective and com-
position of our masterpiece, mak-
ing us more aware than ever be-
fore of the gracious harmony of
four perfect years The warm
tones of closeness and content-
ment.

Investiture

Little GirLs' Day ... our Little
Girls' Day . . . roller skates, water
guns, football, babies, and ruffled
skirts. We took full advantage of
this opportunity for complete un-

inhibition.

In sharp contrast to the hilarity
of little girls' day was the solem-
nity of Investiture. Now we know
that that masterpiece which be-
gan with the confused mixture of
our Freshman year was beginning
to be completed. We experienced
mixed emotions of fear, regret,
joy and relief.

Our Senior year was noted for
coffee breaks, senior recitals, and
winning the Sportsmanship tro-
phy for two consecutive quarters.
The warm tones of our Senior
year nearly faded out with the
merry splashes of May Day and
Senior Opera.

Has Beens

Elections proved that we were
has-beens, but we knew in our
hearts that this was only the first
in a long series of greater works
of art.

May the tension never be re-
solved in works of art such as this
one. May it always be that these
painters feel a sense of satisfac-
tion in their efforts, but also
some discontentment to spur them
on to experiment with new colors
and new lines.

But let them never forget the
techniques and lasting qualities
the importance of relationships
and harmony, the need for depth
and perspective, the use of out-
line and direction, and finally
When Earth's last picture is

painted,

And the tubes are twisted and
dried,

When the oldest colors have faded,
And the youngest critic has died,
We shall rest, and, faith, we shall

need it
Lie down for an eon or two
Till the Master of All Good Work-
men

Shall set us to work anew.
And those that were good shall be
happy;

They shall sit in a golden chair;
They shall splash at a ten-league
canvas

With brushes of comet's hair;
They shall find real saints to draw
from

Magdalene, Peter, and Paul
They shall work for an age at a
sitting

And never be tired at all.

And only the Master shall blame;

us,

And only the Master shall blame;
And no one shall work for money,
And no one shall work for fame;
But each for the joy of the work-
ing,

And each, in his separate star.
Shall draw the Thing as he sees It
For the God of Things as They
Are.

Patties, Exams Finish Year; ; A " efSete "
Seniors Picnic At Fritz Orr's ! ^lanta Pops Plays

To Enliven Summer

By JACKIE DAY

The end of another school year brings the bustling excitement, not
only of packing for the summer and preparing for those last finals,
but also of attending banquets at Tech, spending one last week-end in
Atlanta, and for the seniors dreams of graduation.

Wendy Boatwright, Molly Dotson, Boo Florance, Lucy Scales, and
Eleanor Lee were guests at the President's Banquet at Tech this
past week-end.

The banquet feted the presidents of all organizations on the Tech
campus and the editors of all publications. The speaker for the eve-
ning was Dr. McNair, assistant professor of English at Agnes Scott.

That night, the Tech chapter of O. D. K., an honorary organization
which recognizes both leadership and scholarship, tapped new members.

Congratulations and flowers to Rosa Barnes! She now wears a Chi
Phi pin from Barry Brim of Tech.

Nancy Inch, a very excited young lady, this past week-end flew to
West Point to visit Buddy Griffis, a second classman.

No wonder the seniors all appeared tan and sunny on their gradu
ation day the picnicking and swimming at Fritz Orr's this past
Thursday proved really delightful! The girls ate lunch prepared by
the college and then enjoyed a day of sun 'n' fun with a brief practice
for the perennial class day on Saturday.

Fowlkes Family, Frazier Plan To
Study At Edinburgh Next Year

That dream of many, a year
true for two Scotties.

Senior Mary Anne (Pee Wee)
Fowlkes and sophomore Alice
Frazer, both of Mobile, Alabama,
have exciting plans for a year of
study next year in Scotland at
the University of Edinburgh.

Pee Wee who will graduate
from Agnes Scott in June with a
major in Sociology will enter New
College, the Divinity School of the
University of Edinburgh, to study
Bible and theology. Sailing with
her on August 1 will be her entire
family, mother, father, brother,
and two sisters, who will also
study in Edinburgh.

Fowlkes Family Abroad

Pee Wee's two younger sisters
will enter public schools while her
brother will be taking his junior
year abroad from Southwestern
University at Memphis to study
history at Old College, Edinburgh.

Also studying with Pee Wee and
her brother at the University of
Edinburgh will be their mother
and father. Mrs. Fowlkes, a
French teacher in Mobile, will
study French at Old College
while Mr. Fowlkes, a retired en-
gineer, will be at New College
with Pee Wee studying Bible.
Volkswagen Tour

Before returning home some-
time next summer the family also
plans to do some touring in the
two volkswagons that they will
buy upon their arrival in Scot-
land.

Alice will be taking her junior

of study abroad, will soon come

year abroad from Scott at Old
College, Edinburgh. Although
classes do not start until October

13, she plans to sail from New
York on the Queen Mary, Septem-
ber 2.

Schedule For Year

Since Alice plans to graduate
from Scott with a major in Eng-
lish ,she will be taking three sub-
jects equivalent to our five hour
courses English literature, phi-
losophy, and French. Each of
these courses will have special
tutorials and seminars.

At the University of Edinburgh,
Alice will be classified as an occa-
sional student, one who is not
working towards a degree from
the University.

It won't be all work and no
play, however, for Christmas and
Easter vacations are a month
long. During these long holidays
Alice hopes to do some touring
and to visit some good friends in
London.

At the end of exams on June

14, 1960, she plans to fly home
immediately.

By going to summer school this
summer Alice hopes to return to
Scott in the fall of '60 as a senior
and to graduate with her class
in June, '61.

Internationally Speaking

Nation Seeks Efficient Aid
Policy For Foreign Affairs

unless

By MARC I TOBEY

One of the most controversial issues on the international
scene today is that of foreign aid given by the Soviet Union
and by the western world, primarily the United States, to
the under-developed countries of the world. Since 1945,
twenty-one new nations have been created and in other coun-
tries leaders have been selected who have promised freedom
from poverty and slavery.

reports of the investigating com-
mittee several vital facts have
been revealed.

First, figures have been released
showing that contrary to popular
opinion only Vi of 1# of the public
debt of the United States is piled
up as a result of the money spent
on the foreign aid program.

Second, it has been discovered
that accusations concerning faulty
administration have been justifia-
bly made.

As a result of efforts being
made on the US domestic level,
the nations of the world see that
the US is aiming towards a more
efficient program which will be
less costly to her citizens and
more beneficial to others.

The Soviet Union, in which such
criticism is never openly received,
does not have this advantage.

Even more significant for the
future of the competing aid pro-
grams of the Soviet Union and the
United States is the attitude which
each displays in her anxiousness
to have her plan accepted by the
underdeveloped country.

Communist Way
The Communist invitation may
read something like this. "Like
you, we have recently come
through a revolution and now we
are winning the battle with pover-
ty. We have a pattern for you to
follow and we will give you help."

The US approach on the other
hand is much too often that of an
obnoxious but wealthy patron who
has good intentions but no tact in
presenting his program. As a re-
sult the US makes as many ene-
mies as friends.

The gap be
tween the living
standard of the
billions of people
in these nations
and those in
more advanced
areas is widen-
ing, and econo-
mists report that
this trend will continue
something is done.

Unfortunately, the motives of
the East and West in their rush
to provide aid for the lesser de-
veloped countries have lost their
altruistic spirit (if they ever had
any) : the assistance program has
evolved into a contest to see who
can give the most aid and thereby
bring more countries into their
own political orbit.

No Choice For U. S.
Since the US has already be-
come deeply involved in this com-
petition, it looks as if she has no
choice but to continue her foreign
aid program; for otherwise two-
thirds of the world would be in
danger of becoming communist.

Under these circumstances^
Americans must accept, the fact
that foreign economic assistance
will continue to be part of her
foreign policy for some time to
come.

In the US we are aware of the
recent criticism that has pointed
to improvements which are needed
if the foreign economic and mili-
tary assistance programs are to
be more successful in the future
than they have been in the past.

Investigations of the cost of the
programs and their administration
are being conducted. In the first

To the Graduate Our best
wishes for a happy and successful
future. We hope that you will
consider us old friends and visit
us on any future return to the campus
To those who will return next
fall, we look forward to again
serving you.

Work While You Travel" Motto
Finds Moses, Avant In Europe

The Summer-in-Europe fever seems to have struct Agnes Scott. Work camps, seminars,
and both independent and conducted tours are attracting Scotties abroad this year. Combin-
ing summer work and travel in Europe will be Ann Avant and Anita Moses.
Ann will be one of thirty stu

dents from all over the United
States participating in a Metho-
dist Travel Seminar Work
Camp under the auspices of the
Methodist Student Movement.

Flying by jet from New York,
June 17, to London, the group will
visit seven countries in 6-8 weeks
England, Holland, Belgium, Ger-
many ? Austria, Switzerland, and
France.

Besides sight-seeing the stu-
dents will attend seminar sessions
in each country to learn more
about the country. In Austria
they will spend three and a half
weeks in a refugee camp working
on the construction of a church.

Slums of London

Anita will be one of fifty Ameri-
can students working in the slums
of London this summer.

Under the auspices of the
League of Winant Volunteers,
which was originally organized to
help in sections of London de-
stroyed by the Blitz, this group
of Winant Volunteers will work
in youth clubs, settlements, and
parishes in London's West End.

Orientation In Iona

Flying from Idlewild on June
16 to Prestwick, Scotland, the
group will then go to the island
of Iona off the west coast of Scot-
land for a week's period of orien-
tation.

Before returning in early Sep-
tember this summer's Winant
Volunteers will be able, during

free time from their work in Lon-
don, to tour England and to make
a four day trip to Poperingee,
Belgium. Also, they will have a
free two weeks near the end of
the summer.

Persinger Abroad

Just as excited about her trip
this summer is Sara Lu Persing-
er who will spend about five or
six weeks abroad. The middle of
July she will fly to Frankfurt,
Germany, where her cousin, a
nurse in Neulrucke, Germany, will
meet her. Making her headquar-
iers with her cousin, Sara Lu
plans to tour Europe on her own
except for a tour of the Scandi-
navian countries with her cousin.
Besides touring and visiting with
her cousin, Sara Lu hopes to be
able to visit an alumna (who was
formerly Tomi Lewis) in Paris
and any other Scotties who hap-
pen to be available.

Conducted Tours

Summer travel abroad for some
other Scotties will mean specially
conducted tours. Claire Seaman
and Mickie North will be two of
the excited members of the Brow-
nell Tour this summer. The Brow-
nell Tour is being conducted this
summer by Dr. W. A. Strozier,
Chairman of the Modern Langu-
age Department at Emory.

Claire and Mickie will sail on
June 23 from Montreal with 25 or
30 students from Converse, Em-
ory, and Vanderbilt. An interest-
ing feature of this tour will be

countries, excluding the Scandina-
vian countries, the group will sail
tor home from Liverpool on Aug-
ust 7 on a brand new ship, The
Empress of Britain.

Five other Scotties Myra Glas-
ure, Boo Florance, Jill Imray, Mary
Jane Pfaff, and Jean Corbett will
sail for Europe a week and a half
-ater than Mickie and Claire.
These girls will be among twenty
students on a tour to be conduct-
ed by Dr. Alton H. Glasure, Myra's
father. This group of students
from Scott, UNC, Centre, Georgia
Tech, Davidson, and the Univer-
sity of Michigan plan to sail July
3 on the S. S. Atlantic from New-
York City. After touring France,
Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Bel-
gium, Germany, and England, they
will return August 19 via turbo
jet from London.

Enjoying the luxuries of the
Queen Mary and Queen Elizabeth

this summer will be Helen Scott
Maddox, Judy Maddox, Martha
Jane Mitchell, and Bugs Mathews.
These travelers will sail June 17
on the Queen Mary as members of
the Boyte Brown Tour conduct-
ed by Mrs. Brown, of Charlotte.
With 30 students from Florida
State, Randolph-Macon, Sweet
Briar, and other colleges, the Scot-
ties will visit eleven countries
France, Italy, Switzerland, Ger-
many, Belgium, Holland, Scotland,
England, and the Scandinavian
countries. Highlights of this tour
perhaps are a visit to Monaco and
Montecarlo, the Riviera, and ski-
ing on the Jungfrau in Switzer-
land.

as Charles Clopton takes advantage of her enthusiasm to get a
little yard work done.

Class Of 59 Leaves ASC
For M.A., Mrs., Degrees

By MILDRED LOVE

The strains of Ancient of Days have died away and our be-
loved seniors have taken their places in the big wide world.
Come on, let's take a trip on a magic carpet around the
country to see where some of our old friends are and what
they're doing!

The Eternal Scholars

All aboard for the Unversity
of North Carolina ,where we'll
find Mary Moore hard at work
studying for that "M.A. degree.*'
Other members of the scholar
section include Sara Lou Per-
singer at University of Virginia,
Lynn Frederick at Johns Hopkins.
Sid Howell at Emory Medical
School, arid Mary Hammond who
is studying in California.

Wouldn't it be fun to take a
peek at Carolyn Hazard's P. E.
class in a New Haven private
school for girls? As we pass over-
head we can glimpse teacher Patti
Forrest in a Richmond classroom.
Wardie Abernethy is in the city
to keep her company, working at
Miller Rhodes.

FULL OR PART-TIME

Selling subscriptions over the telephone for our well-
known, highly respected newspaper. The work is inter-
esting and challenging with good pay on a salary basis.
We will train you.

FOR INTERVIEW SEE MISS MURPHY.

Other ladies of the three R's
include Pauline Winslow, Mary
Clayton Bryan ,and Barbara Har-
rison. Bugs Matthews, Frances
Elliott, Betty Garrard, and Nancy
Graves are journeying West to
teach school in the town of
Bakersfield, California.

Two familiar faces can be found
on the A.S.C. campus. Annette
Teague is in the registrar's office,
and Anne Rivers Payne is behind
the D. O. desk.

Marriage or Career?

The majority of the class of
1959 has yet to be accounted for.
Yes, dear reader, tragic (?) as
it may seem, the field of matri-
mony has claimed its thousands.
Among the busy little housewives
are Susie White, Kay Jo Freeman,
Maria Harris, Irene Shaw, Mary
Dunn, Leonice Davis, Ann Tilly,
Caroline Dudley, Lila McGeachy,
Ann Dodd, and Jane King, to
mention only a few.

Running a close second to the
altar is work in Atlanta. Runita
McCurdy, Jorie Muller, Jane
Kraemer, Barbara Varner, Mary
Mac Witherspoon, Annette Whip-
ple, Roxanna Speight, Kay Tatum,
and Margaret Fortney can be in-
cluded in the list of Atlanta
career girls.

Thus the little girls of last fall's
Little Girls Day have grown up
and are now sprinkled over the
country.

The independent college belongs to those who be-
lieve in it. It can have no other ownership.

It has flourished through the centuries because
every generation raises up people who understand its
power for good.

Rooted in this faith, steadfast, humane, the inde-
pendent college abides as a citadel of the unfettered
mind and spirit.

Saxon's Sports Round-Up
Reviews 1958-59 Events

By SYLVIA SAXON

The final yell has faded from the gym and it's time to close
up shop for the 1958-59 sports season. It hasn't been the most
exciting sports year ever, and it hasn't been the most com-
petitive, but there have been a lot of moments that will make
the year remain in folks' minds for a right long while.
Hockej

In hockey, the sophs dominated
the play as

everyone expect-
ed. With a top-
notch and hard-
driving forward
wall and an im-
penetrable, rug-
ged defense, the
yellow team
mowed down the
opposition and tasted defeat only
once. The seniors, juniors, and
frosh were pretty equal and all
four classes gave the spectators
a good show.

Basketball
In basketball, play was a little
more evenly-matched. The young
frosh had a fiery spirt that could
not be doubted by the other teams.
All four classes battled among
themselves, but the juniors man-
aged to take the title. There were
talented ones in the ranks: Currie
Hughes, Muse, Evans, Duvall,
High, McLemore and many others.
Volleyball
In volleyball, the juniors domi-
nated play with their only mar
on the record book being a forfeit
to the sophs. Nevertheless, the
play-off at the season's end was
one of the most exciting affairs
of the year. Duvall, John, Muse,
Leroy, R. McCurdy, S. McCurdy,
Sylvester, Currie, A. Boswell, M.
Boswell, Heinz and many others
added to the color of the sport.

Softball

The sole exception to the

cess story of Sports 1958-59 is
Softball. Its fate remains unde-
cided now; the success of any
undertaking depends on those
who believe in it. and will support
it. And we must support whatever
will be the outcome as we have
supported everything else.

On the whole, the picture has
been bright and it is the entire
student body, players, spectators,
faculty everyone that has
made it possible. A special thanks
to those of the physical educa-
tion department who have been
so helpful also to those behind
the scenes, the timers, score-
keepers, managers whose untiring
efforts went unnoticed sometimes,
but without whom nothing could
have been done.

'Til another year and another
story, hats off to all these and a
year with excitement yet un-
equaled.

Boswell Cops First
In Singles Tourney

The annual badminton tourna-
ments have come to an end, show-
ing the champions for this year

Archer Boswell and Sylvia Sax-
on topped Margaret McKeleway
and Jo Hester to win the recent

sponsored by Athletic Association.

The singles tournament was
concluded when Archer Boswell

sue- 1 title.
