Black Cat Facts Draw Interest
As Plans for Oct. 10 Take Form

Did you know that the Black
Cat was really brown? Or that
this gay occasion is the outcome
of the vicious hazing program of
by-gone years?

Yes, years ago the college physi-
cian suggested that a contest of
wits be introduced to replace the
strenuous hazing program design-
ed to "welcome" freshmen to Ag-
nes Scott. Out of this beginning
and with several variations has
emerged the present community

day of cooperation and fun, a real
welcome to the freshmen.

The big day this year is October
10, and countless committees un-
der the sponsorship of Mortar
Board and the direction of Black
Cat Chairman, Sarah Helen High,
already are hard at work. Thus
far this is a top-secret affair, but
as details begin leaking out, you
can be sure to find all the news
in your Agnes Scott News.

Now Is The Hour"

One of the characteristics of college life seems to be the
problem of fleeting hours. Somehow the time manages to slip
through our fingers, until we wake up one bright morning
to find ourselves almost miraculously seniors or juniors or
sophomores.

However oblivious we may be to the pass-
ing years, these four we spend in college are
probably the most crucial ones for us. During
the time passed here from the first day of
freshman registration to the day we march
out of Gaines clutching that diploma, we are
(supposedly) changing from giggly girls to
mature women.

As future leaders of a multitude of com-
munities, this change is all important. "And
do you feel no urgency?"

Always we must keep in mind the fact that we are immense-
ly privileged just to be here and probably at no other time in
our lives will we have so many opportunities to enrich our-
selves.

Daily we are confronted with great ideas, the deeds and
words of great men, the, finest in the arts music and litera-
ture, and the visual arts, the truths of science.

Our faculty consists of people who combine high caliber
scholarship with outstanding personalities. As Eve said in
chapel last Thursday, you don't find people like Dr. Alston,
Miss Scandrett, Miss Boney, Dr. Posey, Dr. Hayes, Mr. Kline
standing on every street corner.

The various organizations on campus try to stimulate us
to stretch ourselves, to become bigger and better persons: C.
A. calls us to examine and work out our own faith. Expc
talks about maturity and responsibility; A. A. urges us to keep
physically fit. Social Council is concerned with our social re-
lations to other human beings, from roommate to the men in
our lives. Lecture Association brings outstanding speakers
to the campus.

A sense of urgency seems to electrify the air. We must take
advantage of these things while we can. There is so much to
do, and so little time. We simply must not let ourselves drift
through these precious days like unconscious logs being
tossed down rapids by the current.

Yes, take advantage of these things make the friendships
with classmates and faculty, take the tough courses that yield
rewards, absorb course material for use beyond the examina
tion, go to that lecture by Madame Pandit.

". . . And do you feel no urgency?" . . . CF

New Look Welcome

Besides the new faces of the freshmen, the new structural
faces of Rebekah, faculty offices, and date parlors greeted the
upperclassmen this fall. A welcomed sight it was!

Certain members of the faculty are duly
proud of their new offices in Buttrick near
[the mailroom. The new parking lot is much
| more convenient for the faculty and those
lucky girls who have cars on campus. Of
Icourse the lot was also a boon to our fresh
men at the Tech freshmen dance.

People are already taking advantage of
the much-needed date parlors in Rebekah. The
Jnew kitchenette there provides a novel idea
campus entertaining cook a meal for your man and
prove to vourself and your friend that you haven't lost that
domestic art in the midst of all this book learning.

Cushioned benches on first floor Main are truly a blessing
for those waiting wooers.

Continuous improvement of physical assets as well as acade-
mic assets is a true sign of progress in any institution. This
summer's additions can be thought of as a bird's eye view
of what is to be in 1964. We owe Mr. Rogers and his crew a
bis thank vou for the careful thought and hard work they put
into the improvement program. May we show our appreciation
by considerate and careful use of these new facilities. M.J .M.

Internationally Speaking

East-West Friendly Exchanges
Produce No Changes in Policy

By MARC I TOBEY

Internationally speaking, these last three months have not
been much of a vacation. As a matter of fact there has been
a great deal of shuffling around on the international scenes,
but essentially no major policy changes have been made
either within the communist bloc or among the free nations
of the Western bloc.

cHetterd to (Editor

Students Advocate
World Awareness

Dear Editor,

At the beginning of the seventy-
first session of Agnes Scott Col-
lege we would like to remind our
fellow students of one of -the most
vital and yet most easily forgotten
responsibilities.

As some of us well know, one
of the dangers of college life is that
of becoming so involved in campus
events that we lose our sense of
awareness for the world events,
which, in this nuclear age affect
us greatly.

As future leaders of the principal
free country of the Western Hem-
isphere and indeed of the world,
we need to be well informed.

It takes very little time to scan
the front page of either The Atlan-
ta Constitution or The Atlanta
Journal which our library so gen-
erously provides. A brief summary
of the week's events appears in
every issue of the Agnes Scott
News for our convenience. So
let's all try to take advantage of
these opportunities and get into
the habit of being attuned to the
world in which we live NOW!!

Two Concerned Seniors

The Berlin situation reached an
impasse early in
June and the Ge-
neva Conference
ended quietly
while the spot-
light was turned
on Nixon. his
opening of the
American exhibi-
tion in Moscow
and the enthusiastic welcome
was given in Poland.

More recently we have been
hearing about Khrushchev's tour
of the U. S. which was preceded by
Eisenhower's meetings with top
allied officials in Bonn, Paris and
London. Ike's trip to Russia is soon
to follow.

So far these friendly exchanges
have brought about little more than
a lessening of international ten-
sion and, considering the number
of trouble spots over the
today, the longevity of this
and more relaxed atmosphere
questionable.

The familiar patterns of unrest
and revolution are apparent in the

I.R.C. Officer Tells
Book Drive Results

Dear Editor,

We thought that the students
would like to know the outcome of
last spring's IRC book and maga-
zine drive:

Five hundred pounds of books
and magazines were sent to the
United States Book Exchange (a
Federal government sponsored ag-
ency) to be distributed to student
centers in foreign countries.
Sincerely,

Kathleen Kirk, President,

'Top Of The Stairs' Has New
Sound In Jazz, Modern Look

By ANN PARKER

As the neons flicker on and the theatre box-offices open,
Atlanta stirs itself to present the bizarre to the brilliant in
entertainment.

At the Fox "The Blue Angel,"
starring the Ger-
man actress, May
Britt. is a re-
make of the Mar-
lene Dietrich
movie. Curt Jur-
gcns plays the
f * I professor in love

V / with the tarnish-
^ ed night - club
singer.

"John Paul Jones" at the Roxy
stars Robert Stack in the title
role. The film is exciting and ro-
mantic, if not historically accurate.
The naval battles are exceptionally
well filmed.

Local Cabarets

Three of Atlanta's night-clubs
offer a variety of musical enter-
tainment.

Carmen Cavallaro. popular pia-
nist, appears nightly at the "Para-
dise Room" of the Henry Grady
Hotel. A Saturday afternoon mati-

nee adds to luncheon pleasure.
Jazz

The "Bayou" in the Colonial Ter-
race Hotel on Peachtree Road fea-
tures continuous dance music start-
ing at nine. Two Dixieland bands
should attract jazz fans.

Atlanta's newest club, "Top of
the Stairs," uses the circular stage
of the old theatre-in-the-round.
Modern jazz enthusiasts will enjoy
the "avant-guarde" sounds of the
Mitchell-Ruff Duo. The Marilyn
McPartland Trio features piano
stylings in the George Shearing
manner.

Lenox Square, one of the
South's most modern shopping
centers, opens to the visitor new
experiences in shopping pleasure.
Containing branches of the leading
down-town stores. Lenox offers
added excitement in architectural
beauty. It's open Monday, Thurs-
day and Friday until nine for
shopping.

and many officials have expressed
their suspicion of Communist in-
fluence in Cuba, an area much
closer to home.

But the Kremlin's "planning
committee" has devised a new set
of tactics which were dramatically
highlighted by the success of the
U. S. S. R.'s moon rocket and the
emphasis which Mr. K. has placed
upon this achievement. This new
method for world conquest is not
that of total destruction; instead,
it is a drive to surpass the West
in all fields of material and in-
tellectual endeavor.

It is true that we may be view-
ing the opening of a new era of
diplomacy, but we must be careful
not to attach too much significance
to the new smiles on the faces of
national leaders and the increased
travel and cultural exchanges be-
tween East and West; for within
the walls of the Kremlin the basic
definition of "peaceful coexistence"
as "victory of communism" has not
changed.

Library Gets Lights,
New Staff Members

McCain Library, which now
houses 72,000 books and periodi-
cals, has made additions in its
staff and changes in the shelving
of books over the summer.

Mrs. Evelyn Roberts. Phi Beta
Kappa graduate of Agnes Scott
College, is the new general assist-
ant. Miss Barbara Oglesby. assist-
ant to the librarian, is a 1959 grad-
uate of Agnes Scott. With these
assistants the library staff now
numbers seven, five professionally
trained.

New fluorescent lighting in the
lobby over rearranged tables and
newspaper racks provides more
efficient utilization of space.
Changes In Shelving

Other changes in the more con-
crete appearance of the library in-
clude the addition of two double-
faced twelve foot book sections in
the Reserved Book Room. Bound
periodicals which had been shelved
on the second level of the stacks
were moved to the first level

Engagements, P innings Mark
Successful 'Hunting' Season

By JACKIE DAY

Congratulations to all our engaged girls! Nancy Inch is thrilled
with her West Point ring from Buddy Griffis who will graduate in
June. Betty Mitchell is engaged to Doug Miller of the U. S. Air Force
Academy. Today Frances Perry thinks only of Georgia where her
fiance Tommy McCrea is a Phi Delt.

Caroline Mikell proudly wears her ring from Joe Jones # a Citadel
graduate. Jean Corbett smiles too as she shows her sparkler from
Emory Griffin, a student at Fuller Theological Seminary in California.

John Reed, a Delta Tau Delta at Tech, made Barbara Specht a very
happy girl when they became engaged. Betty Barber is also hearing
wedding bells since she received her ring from Tommy Cobb, a Tech
grad. On her way around the world, Janice Bowman became engaged
to Mickey Dixon in Amsterdam.

The campus is filled with gleaming new fraternity pins also. Helen
Clyde Hereford radiates as she displays her Sigma Chi pin from Jim
Shadrick, senior at Emory.

Peggy Venable had a very special vacation in Colorado, for there
she became pinned to Wes Hoagland, a Beta at the Colorado School
of Mines. Everyone is also admiring Jan McGehee's Tech K. A. pin
from Skip Hungerford.

Joan Lewis, pinned by Don Farris, a Tech grad, compares pins with
Janie Matthews, who is pinned to Don Huber, a Citadel grad-
uate. Margaret Goodrich likes only K. A.'s now, especially her pinnee
Frank Chew, a Tech grad. Linda Lentz really started the year with a
bang. Her (as of Saturday night) pin came from Beta Buddy Woods,
a Tech senior.

Scotties Sara Kipka, Suzanne Crosby, Sue Maxwell, and
Mary Ann Leslie enjoy Hub's "new look."

Even Eva Loves New Hub Look;
Changes Include New Curtains

By BECKY WILSON

Good heavens have you noticed the changes in the Hub?
You would hardly recognize it after the great transformation!
Many people have noted the differences; here are some of
their comments:

really add a lot. Sturdy and
colorful card tables are a welcome
addition while the bright pennants,
travel posters, and prints of Atlan-
ta really make the difference on
those huge bare walls.

To keep the Hub looking more
like a place of recreation and less
like a "pig-palace," the Hub Com-
mittee has placed Coca-Cola cases
at different points in the main
room. Also for this purpose there
are ample trash cans and ashtrays,
and the old C. A. room has been
converted into a coat and book
room.

Hub Hours

The Hub is open from 6:00 a.m.
until late time limit seven days a
week. It is closed during chapel
time. The upstairs of the Hub is
open only to those who have spe-
cific business in tjie rooms belong-
ing to the different organizations.
This is not a study or play area.

Eva: "I almost like to clean up
in here now that it looks so pretty,
with these new curtains and all."

Non-smoker: "I can enjoy going
to the Hub now for the first time
It looks so much better, and there
are always such good magazines
to read and plenty of people to
talk to."

Smoker: "Of course I would go
to the Hub anyway, but with all
the new changes and additions I
like to go so much more now. Boy
that cigarette machine! I never
thought I'd see the day!"

Active Hub Committee

It is the Hub Committee, con-
sisting of Anne Hall, Ann Thomp-
son ,and Virginia Thomas, that is
behind the improvements, with the
rest of Social Council members
acting as a work crew. Virginia
Thomas and her mother made
those good looking curtains, which

FASHION FACTS

Sportswear Leads
Collegiate Fashions

By ANNA MARIA AVILES

Sportswear goes to College this
year; the campus look is dashing
and sturdy.

Such classics as sweaters, jump-
ers, pleated skirts and pants of
all lengths will see this year such
additions as tunics, ponchos and
walking suits.

The coats (raincoats, carcoats,
all weather coats and regular
coats) have a fur collar. This stems
from the all racoon coats which
were so good these past years up
North.

Campuses will see a return to
the hard-finished men's wear.
Blazers are really great and in the
peak of style! They range all the
way from the new bleeding Indian
Madras plaid to the classical white
look. Along with this look we have
the vests and man-tailored, long
sleeve shirts worn with a medal-
lion pin on a ribbon to make the
Diplomat Look.

Crewnecks Again

The crewneck sweaters can be
worn again this year, but they are
belted and much shorter. The line
is not the "long shaggy" one of the
roaring 20's as seen last year; it is
one of neatness and crispness ac-
centuating the normal waistline.
Your Maltese Cross and Eduardian
pins are still good. The round pin
is being taken over by the coin
pin or the gold eagle, because this
year is known as the "All Ameri-
can Look."

Suits are better than ever before.
The Chanel feeling often predomi-
nates. Many jackets almost regi-
mental in appearance are cropped
and bound in braid. The man-tai-
lored suit is smartly dressed up
with the derby. Derbys are in full
fashion in all kinds, colors and
styles.

Hundreds of college girls have
stated their preference, for off
campus wear, as the "little black
costume dress." It has the simple
neckline which can be dressed up
with jewelry with a sheath or
full skirt. The puffy sleeves and
scoop-neckline make an excellent
choice too.

Colors Bright or Muted
Whereas the general feeling this
fall is for gray, camel and general-
ly muted colors, such colors as
Rob Roy red, partridge brown,
soldier blue, brick red and moss
green are popular. Mr. Mort
dresses still bring back the classi-
cal black which will always
be good. Giant plaids seem to be
a favorite with Anne Fogarty at
Saks Fifth Avenue.

Although the colors are muted
this fall, perk up your outfit with
a strong colored pair of gloves
it makes all the difference in the
world !

Saxon Finds Juniors First m
In Race For Hockey Title

By SYLVIA SAXON

Fall has rolled around again and another sports season is'
about to unfold. The hockey field is alive with old hands and
new on the scene. It is a colorful sight indeed to see players ?> A-
dressed in blue, red, yellow and gray on the green in their/
beautiful autumn afternoons. ! ' ;

It is interesting to note, too, the
unseasoned play-
ers as they im-
prove practice by
practice, and
good to see the
freshmen, untried
yet as a team,
striving to
achieve a unity
that can come
only after many long practice
sessions and game experience.
Predictions
Here's how I pick the teams to
finish:

1. Juniors

2. Seniors

3. Sophomores

4. Freshmen

The juniors, with three years'
experience behind them will have
practically the same unbeatable
unit from last year's championship
team and should cop the title
again. With the impenetrable de-
fense of Rowe, Cochrane, Stone.
Dalton, and Barr, and a go-go
offense led by Henry, the junior
team will be a hard team to beat.

The seniors proved they could
score last year and showed
strength with their stirring 2-0
win over the juniors. A strong de
fensive team, the squad is led by
Leroy, Tobey, Norman, and Spechjt.
On the forward wall, Florance,
Muse, and Bowman should provide
the scoring punch. With luck, the

Cake Shoot Invites
New Archery Fans

Do you like activity, but just
don't happen to be very athletic?
Or are yfcu one of those who likes
activity, but is a little more ath-
letically inclined than others? Re-
gardless of your talents, archery
is the sport for you and can be
fun, if you are willing to give up
a few minutes each Tuesday after-
noon from 3:30 - 5:30. If you don't
know anything about archery,
there will be someone each Tues-
day to help you. On the beautiful
autumn afternoons what could be
more fun than a few minutes of
enjoyment each* week?

Mrs. Lapp is in charge of arch-
ery and Elizabeth Withers is the
A. A. archery manager.

A cake shoot is scheduled for
Tuesday, September 29. The win-
ner of the shoot will be awarded
a cake baked by Mrs. Lapp. So
everyone come on out and par-
ticipate who knows? You might
take the cake!

seniors could be the team to knock
the juniors out of the champion-
ship picture.

The sophomores should have be-
come a unit by now, but they still
lack the experience of the juniors
and seniors. However, led by bril-
liant fullback Peggy Mitchell and
scrapping Meade Boswell, they will
be primarily a defensive team.
With Hershberger, McLemore, and
Askew, the team is able to score,
and could figure prominently in
deciding the championship.
Freshmen Chances

The frosh are posed with the
perennial problems of weeding out
the best players, gaining experi-
ence, and playing as a team. But
as usual, the frosh may be counted
on to come up with several star
players and to upset the upper-
classes.

Here are my choices for the most
improved players of last year:
Seniors Muse, Bowman
Juniors Barr

Sophomores Boswell, Askew

nual Scott-Tech Freshman

nual Honors Day Convocation

His topic was 'The Young In-
tellectuals."

Dr. Edens has served both as
president and as a member of the
Executive Committee of the Na-
tional Commission on Accrediting.
In June of 1954, he was appointed
by President Eisenhower to the
United States Advisory Commis-
sion on Educational Exchange.

Active not only in the field of
education but also in the realm of
church work, he has served as
president of the National Associa-
tion of Schools and Colleges of the
Methodist Church and has been a
member of the University Senate
of the Methodist Church since
1952.

Early Education and Degrees

Born in Willow Grove, Tennes-
see, the son of a Methodist min-
ister, Dr. Edens began his educa-
tion in the Clay County schools; at
Emory University in Atlanta, Geor-
gia, he earned both his B. Ph. and
his M.A. and went on to Harvard
University where he received his
Master of Public Administration in
1944 and his Ph. D. in 1949.

He is a member of Phi Beta Kap-
pa, Omicron Delta Kappa, and Sig-

ma Chi fraternities. Dr. Edens also

Blind Participation

Last spring the campus was rocked by a visiting alumna,
Mary Beth Weston, '48, who declared that if she had her four
years to do over she would dispense with activities and con-
centrate on her studies. (She was a member of Mortar Board
and May Queen, among other things.) A minority, we pre-
sume, applauded her and sighed wistfully. Everyone else was
shocked.

Another distinguished alumna, Mrs. Roy Cabell^ Jr
who was on campus last week getting
groomed for her new job as regional vice-
president for the Alumnae Association, ex-
pressed a similar opinion.

If she were to go through Agnes Scott
again, she would "steer clear of the unim-
portant things, spending time on my courses
and in reading, using physical activity as my
outlet.

We wonder what we think we're doing, cramming studies
in between meetings, skit practices, meeting about meetings,
dates and so forth. It's fun, but we seriously question the value
of such an approach to a supposedly academic, intellectual life.
We sincerely believe in taking advantage of what is
offered here, in stretching oneself, but just as sincerely we
deplore the idea of mass activity at the expense of the
academic life of the college.

There also seems to be a certain amount of duplication go-
ing on which should be easily dispensed with.

More emphasis should be placed on individual discretion
rather than blind participation. Everyone certainly has her
niche, but no one should feel compelled to fit in all. And the
library should not be considered off limits.

Although we are not in favor of throwing out the baby with
the bath water, we hope that someone will take the hint and
do something about the situation.

After all, Agnes Scott's purpose is to educate women, not
to entertain them. C.F.

Cinderella Suffers

Agnes Scott is part of an area which will reach a popula-
tion mark of one million this month. The scene is changing
from simply urban to cosmopolitan, and this fact has a direct
effect on the social life of the Agnes Scott girl.

Entertainment, from jazz-spots to movies, does not really
begin until 9:00 p.m.

For the Agnes Scott girl, who lives some
thirty minutes away from the metropolitan
nucleus, a two and one-half to three hour
date, plus riding, is about all she can look
forward to. When she leaves the 9:15
movie, getting the car out of the parking lot
takes up the time she might use to get a bite
to eat and perhaps dance.

If she goes to Hank and Jerry's, for in-
stance, at best she can expect a two and one-half hour whirl.

Far too many girls come back to school from a fraternity
party on an empty stomach; there is not even time to get a

In trying to squeeze the last drop of entertainment out
of the allotted time, most girls are faced with the prospect
of an extremely fast if not hazardous ride back to school.

Further difficulties arise when the Agnes Scott girl double-
dates with girls from other institutions in the area, since she
must sign in at least an hour before most do, and since she
is further from town and Tech than most.

We feel that the Agnes Scott girl can cope with a metro- 1
politan environment, for she is responsible in guarding her
privileges. She needs a later Cinderella hour, and for these I
reasons we advocate that Student Government consider a
permanent extension of Late Time Limit, particularly for
Saturday night. E. T. j

Prudence Explains
Stand on Bermudas

By PRUDENCE GOFORTH

(Ed. Note:' This year Lower
House representatives will be the
rJiannel through which sugges-
tions and questions from the stu-
dent body will flow. Matters of
particular interest to the commu-
nity at large will be answered in
this column.)

Why can't we wear berrnudas
in the library?

Some feel that the casual re-
laxed feeling brought about by
sports clothes aids in concen-
tration. Other girls argue that
bermuda shorts are no more
"shocking" in a library than
curlers wrapped up in a scarf.

The real answer to this ques-
tion lies in the Agnes Scott dress
policy, for it states that berrnudas
are not to be worn in the library.
There are several reasons for this
decision.

In the first place ,this casual
air which is a ""must" to proper
study could also be a hindrance.
As sports clothes are donned,
most girls are apt to be rowdier.
This in turn could lead to noise
which might disturb fellow stu-
dents.

A second important reason for
the ruling is the appearance of
our library to visitors. This is one
building any dignitary, prospective
student, or prospective student's
parent is sure to enter. The sight
of studious girls with legs draped
over the arms of chairs would not
be such an appealing advertise-
ment for Agnes Scott.

Perhaps the main reason this
policy has remained unchanged is
because of the respect for the col-
lege and her heritage. We want te
continue to be known as a school
that produces well-educated LA-
DLES.

Red China Marks Tenth;
Krushchev Visits Mao

By MARC I TOBEY

On Thursday, October 1, the "People's Republic of China/ 1
under the firm hand of Mao Tse-tung, celebrated its tenth
anniversary.

During the past decade, China has taken some gigantic
steps forward in building up her modern industry and devel-
oping her agriculture.

Mao gives much of the credit
for these accomplishments to the
commune system
w h i c h Mr.
Khrushchev has
severely criti-
cized, especially
in the light of
the recent cut-
back of the 1959
production goals.

Key To Ac'vancsiMcrm
Regardless of the difficulties
arising over the commune it is
fairly obvious that the key to
China's economic advancements
has been her relationship with the
Soviet Union.

To use a concrete example, since
1950 the USSR has supplied Com-
munist China with capital goods at
an average of about $200,000,000 a
year including equipment for
China's basic industries.

Russian influence has extended
to other equally important areas
such as culture and politics. To-
day Russian is used as China's
second language. Furthermore,
it cannot be denied that the
government of Red China finds
its chief model in Moscow.
However there have been some
differences over foreign policy; for
example, contrast China's hostile
attitude towards the U.S. with
Russia's new and friendlier ap-
proach.

Recognition of China

made under the Red regime, Com-
munist China feels that a place
should be made for her in the coun-
cils of the world's most powerful
nations, particularly those con-
cerned with Asian issues

It is interesting to note ^hat
after Khrushchev's failure to
convince the UN General Assem-
bly that they should permit the
seating of a Communist Chinese
delegation, the accounts of
Khrushchev's visit to the U. S.
faded out in the Peiping news-
papers.

The direction which Communist
China will take in the future, both
economically and diplomatically,
still depends to a large extent on
the policies formed behind the
walls of the Kremlin as was indi-
cated in the highly significant gov-
ernment personnel change which
took place in September.

Khrushchev in Peiping

Last week, Khrushchev was on
hand for the Communist Chinese
anniversary celebration from
whence he came assuring the world
that his visit had strengthened the
possibility for world peace.

And while Mao stood triumph-
antly watching his armies parade
by. Khrushchev's attention was
caught by a flock of doves which
some children in the Square of
Heavenly Peace had released.

As they flew by him, Khrush-

chev stretched out his hand to

Offer Study Opportunities

By LISA AMBROSE

Plans are now being made and applications filled out for
Agnes Scott girls who are interested in continuing their
studies in graduate schools.

A number of fellowships are
available for study in a variety of
fields, including preparation for
elementary, high school, or college
teaching, advanced work in the
humanities, social studies, natur-
al sciences, and mathematics.
Future College Teachers
Outstanding students interested
in college teaching are urged to in-
quire about the Woodrow Wilson
Fellowship program which offers
full support for the first year of
graduate study leading to a career
in college teaching.

Applicants must be nominated
by members of the faculty, the
deadline for nomination being
October 31.
Information concerning this pro-
gram may be obtained from Dean
Kline or from the heads of the
various departments.

Fellowships In Science

For work in the sciences, mathe-
matics, and experimental psychol-
ogy, the National Science Founda-
tion offers fellowships which may
be obtained from the Foundation
itself or from the specific institu-
tions where the study will be done.

Applications to the Foundation
are due early in January; those to
the individual colleges or universi-
ties are due on November 6.

Masters In Education

Vanderbilt, Duke, the University
of North Carolina and other insti-
tutions are offering programs lead-
ing to the M. A. in teaching, which
include intern teaching on the
elementary and high school levels.

The work is to be done on a
fellowship, with an additional sal-
ary for teaching.

Agnes Scott graduate Lynn
Frederick is now participating in
this program at Johns Hopkins,
while Judy Nash took part in the
same program at Peabody.

Other Fellowships

Lists of other fellowships, ar-
ranged by field and by school, are
posted on the bulletin board out-
side 105 Buttrick; further informa-
tion may be obtained from Dean
Kline or from the file in Miss
Stapleton's office.

A survey of several years ago
found that twenty per cent of a
given class graduating from Ag-
nes Scott does graduate work of
some kind within five years after
graduation.
Another study, comparing the
proportion of doctoral degrees won
by graduates to the number of stu-
dents in each college, placed Agnes
Scott ninth among American wom-
en's colleges in doctoral degrees
won annually during the twenty-
one year period from 1936 to 1956.

NEW STAFF MEMBERS
The Agnes Scott News has ad-
ded four new members to its
staff.

They are reporters Carole Sue
Jackson, India Kemp, Ellen Mid-
dlebrooks, and Sue Mustoe.

'J. B. and Job # Leads
Week's Programs

"J. B. and Job" was the topic
of Tuesday's Christian Associa-
tion chapel.

A five-man panel composed of
Sue McCurdy Hosterman, Betsy
Lunz, Margaret McKelway, Evelyn
Scofield, and Sally Smith Howard,
moderator, attempted to make a
comparative analysis of the two
works from the standpoint of
meaning, content, significance,
artistic projection, and characters.

In Thursday chapel, Student
Government will hold the first
open forum of the year.

Science And The Moon

Dr. William A. Calder will speak
in chapel, Friday, on the subject,
"Why Scientists Want to Get to
the Moon."

According to Dr. Calder, scien-
tists are interested in the moon
not only as a base of exploration,
but also as an important base for
scientific study.

Because the moon has no atmo-
sphere, as does the earth, it will
provide the necessary conditions
for delving further into such phe-
nomena as cosmic rays. Dr. Calder
will supplement his talk with pho-
tographs.

I Next week, all chapels will cen-
ter around Honor Emphasis Week.

Lower House members will be in-
stalled two weeks from Thursday
during chapel.

Junior Year Abroad Affords
Exciting Times for June, Kay

By NANCY BARRETT

"C'etait Magnifique," they sigh as they remember that this
time last year they were in France.

French majors Kay Fuller and June Hall spent last year in
Paris working under the Junior

Year Abroad program. Kay was
with the Smith College Junior
Year in Paris, while June studied
independently at Reid Hall, part
of the University for American
Women in Paris.

Kay's group was composed of 43
girls, 40 from Smith, 2 from Wel-
lesley, and Kay from Agnes Scott.
Smith College arranged not only
her course of study but also ac-
comodations in a French home.

her two grown daughters, and the

As CCUN state chairman for
Georgia, Marci will organize the

as urge non-member colleges to
consider membership.

She will also organize a state-
wide conference on the United Na-

French politics and religion.

Classes met at the Sorbonne
and at Reid Hall (where June
lived). Kay concentrated on French
literature, but also took a trans-
lation course offered to students
preparing for work as interpre-
ters.

Weekends found Kay in Paris'
visiting historical places, includ-
ing castles, cathedrals and the
catacombs. Holidays she spent
with her Air Force family, sta-
tioned in Frankfurt, Germany.
With her Smith roommate, Kay
practiced her fluency in French
and visited the National Assembly
and the Town Hall.

With a crowd of boys and girls,
the two would visit cafes to talk.
(In France no one single dates
until she is serious. Also, everyone
goes Dutch).

In speaking of her year as a
whole, Kay stated that "it was a
wonderful experience but I'm glad
to be back.

June and Reid Hall
June, on the other hand, had
somewhat different experience.
She lived and had many classes
in Reid Hall, an old hunting lodge
of the due de Chevreuse.

Classes were in the salons or in
the garden with the exception of
an art course at the Ecole du
Louvre. June's study program in-
cluded classes in French Litera-
ture, grammar and phoenetics, art
and the theatre.

Professors A La Paris
June relates that the professors
were quite an experience "one
kept telling us what imbeciles we
were, one gave us oral finals (writ-
ten too), and one furiously smok-
ed gaulaise cigarettes (an undesir-
able French brand) all through
class."

Another she reported grinned
maliciously and said at the be-
ginning of each class, "Qu'est ce
que vous avez compris?" (What
have you understood.

June found many features par-
ticularly exciting including trips
to Spain during Easter, to Ger-
many for skiing during Christ-
mas, to Belgium for the World's
Fair, and to Italy and Switzer-
land during the summer.
She enjoyed the cafes, Paris in
the pink nlist of morning,* the
flowering chestnuts in the Tuil-
leries, the sight of Paris a-glitter
from the top of the Butte Mont-
martre at night, the Louvre and
the Prado, her first bull fight,
and the poppies dotting the Nor-
mandy hillsides.

June's comment on Paris was
that "I love it with all my heart
and that's the first pre-requisite
of being Parisienne."

Midway Glitter, Cotton Candy
Keep Sticky Scotties in Whirl

By MARY ELLEN BARNES

The Southeastern Fair was one of the big attractions this past week-
end as shown by the many Scott girls who attended. Some of those
who went were Ann McLeod, Joyce Seay. Betty Shannon, Anne
Pollard, and Mary Stokes. Several freshmen, Mary Mead Andrew,
D'etta Brown, nd Bryce Burgess, also went.

Lucy Yang and her aunt, Mrs. Herman Yang, entertained several
Scott girls at a tea last Sunday afternoon. Those present were: La-
fon Zimmerman, Mary Ware, Missy Moore, Prudy Moore, Martha
Lambeth, and Helen Everett. Also at Mrs. Yang's home were Ann
Modlin, Kathy Kemp, Harriett Jackson, Ann Broad, Susan Aber-
nathy, and Faith Chao.

It seems that a week never passes without someone getting pinned
or engaged. The lucky ones this week are Alice Coffin, pinned to Virgil
Brown and Caroline Simmons who is pinned to Jim Thomas, a Phi
Kappa Sigma at Emory.

It looks as if Helen Clyde Hereford may be another June bride this
coming summer. Her fiance Jim Shadrick who will graduate this year
is a Sigma Chi at Emory. That sure is a pretty ring!

Those enjoying the weekend elswhere were Eleanor Hill and Becky
Wilson who were visiting friends at Vanderbilt. Pat Anderson and
Jane Prevost went to Furman and Harriett Elder spent the weekend
at Auburn.

Congratulations and good luck to Lucy Cole who was put up by the
Sigma Chi's for homecoming queen at Tech and is among the finalists.
But even more thrilling is her engagement to Larry Fonts, a Sigma
Chi graduate of Tech.

Dark Cottons Lead
Fall Fashion Parade

By ANNA MARIA AVILES

One of the most prevalent ques-
tions during these warm days
is what to wear, both to class and
"out."

This is a great year for dark
cottons since the scene is one of
smoky tones and muted colors.
The all time classic is the shirt-
waist dress.

Indian Madras seems to be the
most popular on college campuses
everywhere. They come in the
shirt ivy-league look which has a
button down collar and buttons
down only to a few inches above
the belt.

Another popular idea is the
round or peter-pan collar shirt-
waist. This one buttons all the
way to the hem, which by the way
should be an inch below the mid-
dle of the knee.

Indian Madras

Another smart outfit for class
is the shirt and skirt combination.
Solid and print shirts 'are good
in drab greens, smoky, browns
and the wine reds. The man-tail-
ored shirt is best for this year's
study skirts. Again Indian Madras
skirts and shirts are the thing.

If the shirt is a solid, instead
of having the monogram in the
usual place, be different, have
small initials put on one of the
cuffs. It really looks great!

Belts come in at their best with
the skirt and shirt. This year the
most popular ones are wide and
the most striking have old gold
coins, emblems, and eagles on
them.

Football Games

Puffy sleeve, dresses appear on
the scene, but for goodness sakes
don't wear them to the football
games! They look good at a party
or when going to the show but
not at the game.

Cotton pleated skirts with a
channel jacket or a smart dressy
blazer are good for the stands, es-
pecially with a sporty pair of little
heels and a smart bag either to
! match or blend.

This is the second honor stu-
dent dinner which Mortar Board

ed the custom of "honor rollers"
enjoying a special meal together
rather than having a brief lunch.

AS A A Officer Kathleen Cabell
Studies, Rejects 'Spectatoritis

A woman who never has "s
the title that can perhaps best
a 1959 regional vice-president
Association.

Mrs. Cabell, who was formerly
Kathleen Buchanan from Hunting-
don, West Virginia, of the Class of
'47, is now the mother of three
children and an active participant
in civic and church affairs in Rich-
mond, Virginia.

An attractive, charming, and vi-
vacious woman, Mrs. Cabell was
on campus last Wednesday through
Saturday for the annual fall meet-
ing of the Executive Board of the
Agnes Scott Alumnae Association.

While a student at Agnes Scott,
Mrs. Cabel definitely did not have
"spectatoritis" or complacency, as
perhaps we are calling it.

A music major, she was the last
house president of White House,
a cottage which was located near
East Lawn Cottage, a member
of Exec, and a member of Mortal
Board.

Active Community Life

Of her many activities outside
the home Mrs. Cabell says that
^er college comes first. She con-
fesses laughingly that she is "prob-
ably the only alumna in captivity
who had to cut a class to come to
the Board Meeting."

She and a group of mothers in
Richmond are meeting once a
week for a course in Bible. As a
matter of fact she has the wonder-
ful record of having studied some-
thing every year since she graduat-
ed from Agnes Scott.

Besides studying, Mrs. Cabell's
most recent civic activities include
being chairman last year of the

pectatoritis," as she calls it, is
describe Mrs. Roy Cabell, Jr.,
of the Agnes Scott Alumnae

Patrons Association of Collegiate
School, a private school in Rich-
mond, and a member this year
of the Board of Directors of a
clinic at the Medical College of
Virginia.

This year she will also be busy
with her duties as regional vice-
president of the alumnae area
which includes Virginia, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Ken-
tucky, Washington, D. C, Mary-
land, West Virginia and Indiana.

An an alumna Mrs. Cabell feels
the need to repay the college for
the education that she received.
Being the leader of alumnae in
eight states through eleven Ag-
nes Scott local clubs in sucb cities
as Richmond, Charlotte, and Wash-
ington, D. C, and several area
clubs is certainly one means of re-
payment.

Kline Heads North

Dean Kline will be in Washing-
ton, D. C, Thursday and Friday,

As a result of bad environment,
paternal neglect, crippling ill-

misfortunes, these children need
help.

Agnes Scott students with a yen
for social work have a unique
opportunity to make the lives of
these children a little happier
through the service projects which
Christian Association sponsors.

Juvenile Court, a project open
only to juniors and seniors, offers
the chance to help troubled teen-
age girls who need the guidance
and affection which no one has
bothered to give them before. Ruth
Leroy, chairman of the project,
can give further information con-
cerning time, transportation, and
other details.

Scottish Rite Hospital

The bedridden children at Scott-
ish Rite Hospital are victims of
club foot, cerebral palsy, and polio,
whose parents can not afford pri-
vate care. Every Saturday after-
noon ASC students entertain these
children by reading Bible stories,
helping them draw and paint, and
playing quiet games. Jane Nabors
and Doris Sanders are in charge.

The children at Sheltering Arms
Day Nursery, whose mothers work
during the day, range from nursery
school age through junior high.
Their days are enlivened by the
games, singing, and field trips
planned by the students from Ag-
nes Scott and Columbia Seminary.
Ginger Marks and Kaki Chambers
are the chairmen of this project.
Methodist Children's Home

Methodist Children's Home gives
Scotties the chance to work with
boys and girls from six to ten
years old. These children, badly in
need of love and affection, are
either orphans or from broken
homes. Here, students play games,
help in the singing, tell stories, and
teach good grooming to the girls.

For more information, contact
Sylvia Pruitt or Harriet Cox.'
Girl Scouts

For the ex-Girl Scouts on camp-
us, C. A. provides a grand chance
for getting back in the swing of
Scouting. Anne Pollard, campus
Girl Scout chairman, can channel
Scottie Scouters into leadership of
girls in a full program of crafts,
games, and camping in Brownies
or Girl Scouts.

Ebster Center is the recreational
park and building for Negro chil-
dren in the Decatur area. Under
the leadership of Angelyn Stokes,
students helping in this project
tell stories, and lead singing, art-
work, and outdoor games every
Saturday afternoon.

Central Girls' Club furnishes an
opportunity to work with girls
from the second to the seventh
grades, who live in housing proj-
ects. Work at the Club includes
playing games, singing, and doing
handicraft works as well as help-
ing the young girls to bake cakes,
and cookies for refreshments.
Florence Winn and x Carolyn Ben-

Helen Petkas, riding manager, for
details on time and transportation.

For those who dislike competi-
tion, bicycle riding provides a good
chance for fun and a little sight-
seeing for the ambitious. It feels
good to exercise those muscles that
have cramped up from so many
hours in the library. The bikes
have been overhauled and are in
excellent condition: so please take
care of them. Also, keep saving
those Blue Horse coupons!

Tennis Singles Tournament

Peggy Mitchell, A. A. Board Ten-
nis Manager, is arranging a tennis

singles tournament. It will be di-
vided into intermediate and ad-
vanced players so everyone should
feel free to participate. The list is
posted in the mail room; sign up
and join the fun! It is a good way
to find tennis partners for later
on in the year.

Friday Night Swimming
Athletic Association has even
taken care of those Friday nights
on campus. The swimming pool
will be opened from 7:30 to 8:30
p.m. The new strokes you learned
this summer need practice to keep
them in top form. Take a break
from studying and come down for
the fun.

With fall comes the flashing of
class colors as the hockey teams
practice to improve their skills. All
the teams are trying new tactics
and re-evaluating old ones.

As far as predictions, I will go
along with Syl's selection printed
last week.

I believe that the Junior team,
almost unchanged from their fresh-
man year, will come out on top.

However, the Seniors and the
Sophs will offer stiff competition
and the Frosh may have some sur-
prises in store for everyone.

India's Madame Pandit To Lecture Friday

MADAME VIJAYA L. PANDIT

Madame Vijaya Lakshimi Pandit
will speak on "India's International
Obligations" at eight o'clock Fri-
day night in Gaines Chapel as the
first guest sponsored by Lecture
Association.

Sister of Nehru

The sister of India's Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, Mad-
ame Pandit, who is a member of
the Indian Parliament, was elected
President of the Eighth Session of
United Nations General Assembly.
She has been serving as India's
High Commissioner in London since
December, 1954.

By MILDRED LOVE

Born in the city of Allahabad,
India, Madame Pandit was edu-
cated entirely at home. (She was
known as Nan to her English gov-
erness.)

Struggle For Freedom

The Nehru family were active
participants in the struggle for
India's freedom. Madame Pandit
entered the movement and was im-
prisoned for the first time in 1932.

During the 1930's Madame Pandit
served as Chairman of the Educa-
tion Committee of the Municipal
Board of Allahabad for two years
before being elected to the Legis-
lative Assembly, at which time she

was appointed Minister holding the
portfolios of Local Government and
Public Health.

After her last release from pris-
on in 1943, Madame Pandit plunged
into the work of relieving the
famine-stricken inhabitants of Ben-
gal.

Contacts With U. S.

During her visit to her daughters
studying at Wellesley College in
1944 and 1945, Madame Pandit be-
came known to Americans as an
unofficial ambassador of the In-
dian people. She represented India
in an unofficial capacity at the
San Francisco United Nations Con-
ference.

From 1946 until 1948 Madame
Pandit was leader of the official
Indian delegation to the United
Nations. She again held this po-
sition in 1952 and 1953.

In the interim between 1949 and,
1951 she was India's Ambassador
to the United States and to Mexico.
For two years prior to this appoint-
ment, she served as Ambassador
to Moscow.

Madame Pandit's autobiography,
"The Scope of Happiness/' is soon
to be published.

Admission to the lecture is by
ticket only.

Honor Week Convocation
Connects Belief, Behavior

By BEVERLY KENTON

"How a Believer Behaves" served as the subject of the Rev. Robert Busey's talk in Honor
Emphasis Week convocation today. This is an adaptation of a sermon which some Agnes Scott
students heard at Trinity' Presbyterian Church and felt applied so well to the Honor System.

Week's Theme

The theme of the week, "The
Honor System in Theory and Prac-
tice," was presented in chapel
Tuesday through a talk by Helen
Mabry. ,

Members of the A.A. Board
sparked the program with a skit
on attitudes toward the honor
system. Later in the day discus-
sions were conducted by students
concerning honor.

Signing Pledge

Chapel tomorrow will climax the
week's activities. At this time Nan-
cy Duvall will summarize the vari-
ous discussions. Immediately fol-
lowing, the freshmen and transfer
students will receive the opportuni-
ty to add their signatures to a
book which symbolizes the Honor
System.

The underlying purpose of Honor

Emphasis Week can best be ex-
pressed in a statetment by Presi-
dent Alston.

"Because the system is such an
integral part of Agnes Scott, we
may take it for granted and be-

Helen Mabry who serves as

criticisms of it without being

Presbyterian Team
Evaluates Program

By MARY JANE MOORE

Six representatives of the Pres-
byterian College Visitation pro-
gram, sponsored by the Presby-
terian Division of Higher Educa-
tion, will be guests of the college
next week, October 19 to 22.

The purpose of this visitation
program is to make an over-all
study of the college's program by
faculty members of other Presby-
terian colleges.

As Dean Kline stated, "The com-
mittee isn't coming to accredit the
college; they are just coming to
see what we're doing and how
we're doing it."

Through faculty and student in-
terviews, the representatives will
consider different phases of the
program designated by the college
as strength areas and problem
areas.

Throughout a five or six week
period, various colleges will be
studied. Two other schools to be
visited are Southwestern College,
Memphis, Tennessee, and Austin
College, Sherman, Texas.

Acting as Agnes Scott's repre-
sentative on the visitation commit-
tee, Miss Mary Virginia Allen, As-
sociate Professor of French, will
visit Austin College.

No Pious Platitudes

A number of us shudder when we discover that Honor
Emphasis Week is upon us; this week brings to mind innocu-
ous platitudes about the glories of Agnes
Scott and our Honor System. Hub Discussions
consist of highly philosophical discussions on
honor or questions such as, "Is going to chapel
every day a part of our honor?"

How incongruous are these platitudes when
we consider the great degree of maturi-
ty and responsibility that the Honor System
demands from each student! There is nothing
m easy about our Honor System. The handbook
makes life extremely inconvenient at times, and it is one of
the hardest things in the world to approach a girl whom we
suspect of violating one of our social regulations.

Soft and sweet words can not express the knotty problems
that living the Honor System raises. This week is the time
for all of us to face these problems honestly and to say what
we really think, not what we think everyone wants us to say.
Only truthful attitudes can give our Honor System the in-
tegrity it needs to exist. E. Purdom.

Speak Up At Forum!

Last week in student meeting a proposal for extending late
time limit was discussed. It is not a new issue but one which
had been brought before Exec last spring. The
reason for its failure to pass at that time
the leaders of student body did not realize
the interest that would lie behind such a
motion.

One of the main channels through which
we can express opinions is the open forum
held during chapel period on Thursdays.
This is the only time, other than private
, i, ILmiL1L i ,_ JLL J conversations, that we may state our ideas
to be discussed by others the only time that Exec has a
chance to know what concerns us.

From these discussions Exec can know the enthusiasm of
the students and get ideas which help to state the motion to
the administration.

We encourage each member of student body to attend open
forum and to express her views. She may discover that her
complaints are everyone's complaints! F. G.

Nationally Speaking

Lahor Unions, Industrial
Leaders Continue Battle

By MARCI TOBEY

' The threat to the economy of the United States, which was
realized in July, 1959, at the beginning of the now thirteen-
week old nation-wide steel strike, became even graver last
Thursday when a considerable number of the International
Longshoresmen Association refused to go to work, thus bring-

Because of the inability of labor
and management to settle their
own problems satisfactorily, the
United States government has had
to take action.

On October 6, according to the
provisions of the Taft-Hartley law,
President Eisenhower created a
board of inquiry which announced
on existing state of emergency.

By Thursday an injunction had
been issued by the Attorney Gen-
eral with the approval of the fed-
eral court and the dock workers
resumed their activities.

Since steel negotiations were at
an impasse again Friday, the Presi-
dent appointed George W. Taylor
as chairman of a three man fact
finding board.

Taylor expressed the hope that
the situation can be handled with-

Wisconsin Regents
Reprimand Greeks

University of Wisconsin regents
have approved action of the Uni-
versity faculty on the so-called
"I960 clause."

The faculty recently reaffirmed
its determination to deny approval
to any fraternity or sorority
"which has in its national or local
constitution or pledge instructions
a discriminatory clause," but
moved the deadline for removal of
such clauses from July 1, 1960, to
Sept. 10, 1960.

The deadline change will give
the five student organizations
affected another summer period
for the national meetings needed
for such action.

Fraternities Involved

Four social and one professional
fraternities with Wisconsin chap-
ters are affected by the faculty
action. They include Alpha Tau
Omega, Pi Kappa Alpha, Sigma
Chi, and Sigma Nu, all social fra-
ternities; and Delta Theta Rho,
professional law fraternity.

UW President Conrad A. Elveh-
jem followed the faculty action
with a statement calling on the
national organizations to act.

The 1960 deadline was set in
1952 by the faculty, which at that
time urged fraternities and sorori-
ties with restrictive clauses to
make "a determined effort ... to
secure amendments to their . . .
constitutions eliminating such re-
strictions."

Amendment Rejected

Before reaffirming the 1960
deadline the faculty rejected an
amendment suggested by the Wis-
consin Interfraternity Association.

The amendment would have pro-
vided limited extensions beyond
I960 "if a local chapter can show
that it is exerting a real and de-
termined effort to secure elimina-
tion not only of its discriminatory
clause, but of all discriminatory
practices in the selection of its
members."

Ivy League Bootery
Wins College Fancy

By ANNA MARIA AVILES

Along with the haberdashery
look of blazers and sturdy man-
tailored jackets, we have not hesi-
tated to steal the boot from our
male friends.

Bootery Americana

Many fashion experts refer to
the campus shoe of '59 - '60 as the
"Bootery Americana." Boots seem
Ho be fashion's pet this year.

The styles range all the way
from the indoor soft corduroy cas-
ual to the all weather rubber and
racoon cuffed rainboot. The look
is all the same, but the finish may
vary.

Styling

Boots may be laced, buckled,
buttoned or snapped. Their texture
is equally different. The leather
and suede boots will probably be
more popular on campuses in the
South; however, it won't be rare to
find suede and patent leather or
two-tone poplin smartly combined
in one boot.

Most of the boots have no heels
at all, but just a continuous sole.
Rubber sole boots seem to be a big
seller, mainly because of their
water-proof advantage. (Especially
in Atlanta where we are blessed
with so much rain!)

Accessories

Along with the boots go the
tights. Last year the most out-
standing feature of these was the
color. This year the texture is in
the spotlight. Not only are they
solid, but multicolored; smooth,
but "woolly," "knotty" or thickly
woven.

Blackfriars Choose
Psychological Play

"The Heiress," an adaptation
from Henry James, was chosen for
fall production by Blackfriars, an-
nounced Suellen Beverly, Vice-
President.

"The play is a study of a sup-
pressed woman and her reaction
to the situation in which she finds
herself," said a member of the
drama organization.

The cast, chosen yesterday at
try-outs, will give two productions
in Gaines Chapel, on Thursday and
Friday, November 19 and 20.

Members of the faculty and Stu-
dent body will be admitted free.

Mushroom Hunting Booms
'Midst Faculty Enthusiasm

NANCY BARRETT

"Anyone for mushroom hunting?" Yes, strange as it may
seem, this interesting and unusual hobby has been taken up
by a number of our esteemed faculty. Mrs. Swart, who began
collecting several years ago, has been instrumental in form-
ing such a group on campus.

Mrs. Swart, who has a B.S. in i
botany, first learned about mush- Another species ^ rows about
rooms from one of her college pro-
fessors who had an avid jnterest
in puffballs.

Upon hearing him, she promptly
bought a book on mushrooms in
order to learn more about them.
A former botany professor at Ag-
nes Scott later interested her in
collecting them, and taught her
much about the science of mush-
rooms.

Mushrooms On Campus

Mrs. Swart related that she col-
lects them to eat as well as to
identify. The campus has yielded a
number of species that one would
ordinarily buy in the store. These
varities may be seen particularly
on the hockey field in front of the
science building.

The edible mushrooms are dis-
tinguished primarily by their pink
gills. In 1957, Mrs. Swart collected
approximately thirty different
kinds of mushrooms for freezing
purposes.

There are only a few poisonous
species and these actually are not
lethal, they merely cause halluci-
nations. There are several interest-
ing species, including one mush-
room which grows to the height
of a person, is poisonous and has
green gills. This particular kind
has been seen by a number of stu-
dents on campus.

knee high with a cup as big as an
egg. This variety was a favorite
food of the Romans and is still
eaten in Great Britain today. This
is considered to be one of the most
beautiful types of mushrooms.
Mushroom With Hangover

A fourth type of mushroom is
red with white warts. Of this spe-
cies, Mrs. Swart comments, "the
Russian peasants used to get drunk
on this species, but I suppose that
the communists don't allow it to be
eaten now for it produces a terrific
effect, incuding a bad hangover.'

This hobby is not confined to
Mrs. Swart, however.

M. Thomas, who used to collect
mushrooms in France but never
dared to eat them here, now is an
ardent collector and may be seen
periodically with his large black
umbrella gathering them.

Mr. Doerpinghaus, who was ac
quainted with an expert in mush-
rooms from Hungary while at
Louisiana State, not only collects
them but has now built a mush
room dryer. Mrs. Westervelt also
collects mushrooms and has frozen
a number of them.

Mrs. Hayes is not to be outdone,
either, for she has tried the puff-
balls in her yard. Miss Trotter also
collects species for Mrs. Swart's
collection.

Super Sub!

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

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

their employers' latest offer.

If labor refuses to accept these
terms the strike will be resumed
and the whole problem may be
turned over by the next session of
Congress.

The problem involved has gone
beyond that of a showdown be-
tween labor and industry and re-
flects a serious breakdown in the
method of collective bargaining.

But even beyond that lies the
question of the role that the
United States government, as pro-
tector of the public interest, will
play in handling squabbles between
labor and management.

If its present weapons prove to
be impotent, will it be necessary
to give the government more juris-
diction in matters which threaten
our economy?

Scofties Travel To Knoxville;
Black Cat Spirit Draws Men

By JACKIE DAY

As the spirit and festivities of Black Cat rushed through the campus
Saturday, even more excitement was added by the invasion of males
from other schools.

Betsy Boatwright entertained Bill Verner, from University of South
Carolina, Kay Roberson dated Citadel senior Bruce Skidmore, Lynn
Morley celebrated with Chip Williams, and Woody Griffin, another
Citadel cadet, dated Mary Stokes.

Davidson, always popular with Scotties, was well represented by
David Acheson dating Jane Nabors, Press Nowlan with Carolyn Mason,
and Lowry Reid with Jo Claridy.

Missy Moore and Ann Modlin watched the Tech Yellow Jackets romp
Tennessee in Knoxville. Harriet Jackson, Penny Williams, and Peggy
Jo Wells livened up the Xi Psi Phi houseparty, dental fraternity at
Emory.

Once more the Southeastern Fair proved an attraction to many
Scott girls. Beth Fuller, Alice Coffin, Lucy Maud Davis, and Helen
Hereford brought back many tales of cotton candy, teddy bears, and
all the thrilling rides.

Way up in Yankeeland, Marci Tobey saw Penn beat Army during a
"too, too divine" weekend at West Point.

Best wishes to Carolyn West who is engaged to Pat Parker, senior
Sigma Chi at Emory. Jackie Nicholson, another lucky gal, became
pinned to Nick Frangias who was a P. K. A. at Emory and is now in
aeronautical school in California.

Greene Concludes Visit With
'Ends and Means Challenge

By LISA AMBROSE

A convocation address entitled ''Liberal Education Ends
and Means" today brought to a close the scheduled talks by
Dr. Theodore Meyer Greene, visiting Phi Beta Kappa lecturer.

The stimulation of Dr. Greene s

ideas has, however, been evident
in his informal conversations with
students as well as in his lectures.

His ideas seem to have prompt-
ed the query, "How much intellec-
tual ferment do we have on the
Agnes Scott campus?"

Believing strongly in the im-
portance of the woman in our so-
ciety as the one who hands down
culture, Dr. Greene questions the
impulse df our generation to hur-
ry into marriage and security at
the expense of forfeiting the op-
portunities available for intellec-
tual growth.

Warm, mentally alert, and
armed with an understanding of
women provided by experience
with his own two daughters, his
penetrating questions have evoked
enthusiastic response.

Enthusiasm for debate and a
sincere interest in students have
made Dr. Greene the center of
numerous discussions during his
three days here.

On the subject of art, he ex-
pressed the opinion that great art
is not didactic but that it must
have a subject matter.

The question, "Are there any
Subjects that are not worthy to
be used for great art?" brought
forth a flood of ideas from Dr.
Greene and those talking with
him.

He feels that art should create
understanding, and that any sub-
ject matter which has significance
to the human situation is worthy.
"No one could write a great novel
about a toothbrush," he quipped.

Going further, Dr. Greene
emphasized the necessity, in great
art, of carrying the subject matter
to its most profound depths.

By leaving students with such
questions in mind as "Should art
be limited to religiously accept-
able subjects, or is any under-
standing of the human situation
ultimately religious?", "Why is it
easier to portray successfully hu-
man degradation than human per-
fection?", and "Is Shaw super-

ficial?", Dr. Greene seems to
have added to the intellectual fer-
ment at Agnes Scot.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, October 21, 1959

Mental Isolationists?

Provincial, entirely campus-centered, apathetic, oblivious
to the world outside . . .

How many times we have heard these epithets hurled at
the students of ASC, collectively or individu-
ally.

Certainly this is true to some extent. We
do become so immersed in the day's work
that we lose our perspective.

We forget that we are part of the whole
human race that what happens on the
other side of the globe or the other side of
the nation will probably affect us in some
way. whether in the form of an embryo war
or higher coffee prices.

The other side of the coin shows, however, a healthy
amount of interest in world affairs, although no groups like
the Young Republicans or Future Democrats of America have
sprung up.

Recent IRC meetings have attracted fairly large crowds of
students interested in hearing an analysis of Khrushchev's
visit or a discussion of Madame Pandit, and India. Madame
Pandit herself drew a large, enthusiastic audience.

But how many came to IRC for a study break or refresh-
ments alone, or to hear Madame Pandit out of a feeling of
duty ("It's a lecture.") or curiosity ("Nehru's sister, famous
lady . . .").

History and political science courses happen to be among
the most popular in the whole curriculum. How much of
this interest is due to the fact that it is an excellent depart-
ment with interesting professors, and how much is a result
of interest in the world beyond?

Many students take Time, US News and World Report, the
New York Times. The news rack in the library has a large
and faithful clientel. But how many of these avid readers
are absorbing "Peanuts" and "Dear Ann," giving the head-
lines a quick once-over lightly.

Personal contact with students from far away places
Korea, Venezuela, Hong Kong, Belgian Congo can make
world events more personally relevant. But how much of this
"personal contact" is a matter of "Hello, how are you, good
bye."

Out of the senior class, 17% have already been abroad at
some time. How many of these absorbed something deeper
than a good time and a million monuments, palaces, and
art galleries?

Perhaps this outward interest is sincere. If so, it is com-
mendable.

If not, we deplore this superficiality. After all, neither
sitting through a church service nor a cursory reading of re-
ligious material can evoke true religious spirit. It must come
from within.

The same goes for interest in national and international
affairs. C.F.

Monday Quiz Blues

Blue Mondays become several shades darker when there's
a "small'' quiz on the agenda for that day.

Why schedule a test on Monday when there are four other
davs available in the academic week? What possible ad-
vantage would there be in having a test on
Monday?

There could be several reasons. The con-
scientious would say that one has the whole
I weekend to study for it. Then the idealists
maintain that because one has studied all
along and has really learned the material
| and hasn't gotten behind, only a brief review
is needed which shouldn't require much
time.

The professors might add that a test on Monday gives them
time during the week to grade and give papers back before
the weekend.

First, who really wants to study on the weekend after a
week full of classes, hard studying, and paper pressure? One
needs relaxation in some way either through social en-
gagements, pet diversions, or just plain rest.

Many times church attendance suffers as the consequence
of the Monday quiz.

Even if the good student has studied her daily assignments
diligently, there are some subjects that require a thorough,
time consuming review before a test.

Another known fact is most human beings procrastinate.

The faculty have the jurisdiction to schedule tests when
they so desire true. But here at Agnes Scott there was
once an unwritten rule that advocated no Monday tests,
day ests.

It seems to reason, if the student uses time meant for study
and is in the right frame of reference, she will produce better
test results and will be a happier individual in an academic
community. M.J.M.

Library Adds Titles \ Nationally Speaking
On World Situation

A number of new books have
been added to the Agnes Scott
collection and may be found either
in the stacks or on the table in
the lobby of the library.

Among these are many perti-
nent to the problems of govern-
ment and world peace. The follow-
ing give only a taste of the choice
available.

THE NATURE AND FUNCTION
OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANI-
ZATION, Goodspeed, Stephen S.,
341.11 G62n, 676 pp. This book is
of the textbook variety, complete
with diagram of the United Na-
tions structure and world map
showing U. N. membership.

Although the word "textbook"
may sound unappetizing, this one
seems to give complete and up-
to-date coverage of a vitally in-
teresting subject.

Covering the development,
problems, and functions of inter-
national organization, the book-
ends with a look to the future and
consideration of what is to come.

DREAM AND REALITY, Halle,
Louis J., 327.73 H15d, 327 pp.
Dream and Reality is a new and
readable treatment of the human
nature ot foreign policy, and of
United States foreign policy in
particular. Its author, Mr. Louis
J. Halle, is a former member of the
State Department's Policy Plan-
ning Staff and writes with the
idea in mind that "government is
people."

IN CLEAR AND PRESENT
DANGER, Caughey, John W., 323.4
C31i, 207 pp. In Clear and Present
Danger is a record of what the
author describes as "the crucial
state of our freedoms" in its
growth during the last thirty
years. Caughey traces the devel-
opment of a pattern of grasping
for internal security by piecemeal
surrender of our basic freedoms.
The major part of the book is
concerned with the 1950s. Profes-
sor of American history at UCLA,
the author has written numerous
historical works.

U. N. Marks Fourteenth
As Election Splits G. A.

By MARCI TOBEY

On Saturday, October 24, we mark the fourteenth anni-
versary of the formation of the United Nations.

From the beginning, supporters of the UN held high hopes
for its success as a promoter of world peace.

In comparison, today's enthusiastic ob-
server might find himself a bit disappointed
upon discovering the extent to which this
international organization has become
bogged down in the muddy swamps of the
cold war.

At present, for example, the General
Assembly, after 25 ballots, remains split
down the middle over the election of a non-
_____ permanent member to the Security Council.
A closer look reveals that the selection is between Poland,
a Soviet satellite, and Turkey, who is more acceptable to the
U. S. ifjjj

Adding fuel to the fire, a member of the Soviet delegation,'
Arkady A. Sobolev, accused the U.S. of pushing Turkey
over Poland in order to gain control of the seven votes
needed to transfer an issue to the General Assembly in case
it has received a veto in the Security Council (and the veto
usually is the Soviet Union's).

Quibbling of this sort is adequate evidence that the UN
is becoming as ineffective as a high school debating club to
which comrades of the members of the opposing teams as-
semble in order to watch their side emerge victorious in a
contest of words.

If the UN is to operate on a significant scale among the
nations of East and West, it must rise above the petty squab-
bles of the cold war in which it has become so involved.

Perhaps it is up to the U.S. to revitalize the UN with a new
and more sensible approach.

All Saints Offers Subjects
From Music To Buddhism

By LINDA LENTZ

Tuesday evenings at All Saints Episcopal College Center

an enthusiastic discussion on po-
litical issues or a lecture on Hin-
duism as students and faculty
from Scott and Tech participate
in a new program of study and
discussion groups.

Lasting from 7:30 to 9:00, the
discussions come under three dif-
ferent categories. This fall the
general topics are "Basic Issues
in Domestic and Foreign Politics,"
"The Creative Arts," and "Relig-
ions of the World."

Sewanee Gents Bid Scotties;
Techites, Vandies Yield Pins

By JACKIE DAY

What a fantabulous whirl of events this week produced!

Auburn with its crowd of fans invaded Atlanta and the campus
was awhirl again. Harriet Elder, Mary Culclasure, and Nancy Batson
are all aglow since their nights on the town with their Auburn visi-
tors. Can we blame them?

Davidson, for the second week, favored Agnes Scott with a sprink-
ling of its men Woody Hunt, Chuck Mitchell, and Bill Ambrose.
Agnes Scott is proving to be the "hostess with the mostest" these
days. Eh, gals?

Not all our girls were content with the campus life and so accepted
bids to the Homecoming at Sewanee. Susan Alexander, Carol Williams,
Elizabeth Withers, and Harriet Glover "had a ball, you all" with
those Southern gents.

The big football game Auburn vs. Tech proved to be a thriller.
Among those cheering the Yellow Jackets, even in the downpour,
were Mary Beth Howell, Livingston Gilbert, D'Etta Brown, Carolyn
Benbow, and Pat Flythe. Lillian Smith, Peggy Frederick, Joyce Spivey,
Jan Heard, Jan McGehee, Sally Blomquist, Bonnie Hatfield, and Susan
Winbigler were in there pulling too.

The Tech A.T.O/s Bermuda party at Park's Farm really was a lively
one with the Four Steps of Rhythm. Sara Ann Nelms, Suzanne Cros-
by, Libba Lee, Louise Kimsey, and Carol Jackson were five tired gals
after dancing all night!

Congratulations to Tech Delta Charles Le Moyne, who won the fair
lady, Betty Gzeckowicz (alias Mona Lisa). The pin is beautiful!

Not to be outdone by upperclassmen, freshman Nancy Wilkins
has been pinned by Emory S.A.E^Rod Bronson.

It's better late than never 'tis true. Sincere best wishes go to
Sara Ann Nelms, engaged to Charles Pierson, senior A.T.O. at Tech;
also to Jane Henderson whose K.A. pin from Tech junior Dwight
Alford is an eye-catching one!

Homecoming at Vanderbilt was the happy occasion for Katherine
Hawkins who returned with a Deke pin from senior Mac Linebaugh.

A Kappa Sig crescent and star belonging to Ben Chilcutt, Tech
junior, has changed sweaters. Now Ann McBride has it!

Tech man Ed Yeargin handed over his A.T.O. pin to Margaret
Shugart. Way to go team

To vary this weekend of new pins, Boog Smith married Howard
Henderson at the Decatur Presbyterian Church Saturday. Cheers and
best wishes.

ASC Girls From Overseas Call I
Venezuela, Korea, China Home

By BEVERLY KENTON

The foreign students at Agnes Scott always add a special
touch to the community. Choon Hi Choi, Anneke Schepman,
and Lucy Yang came to the campus with interesting ideas,
impressions, and customs.

Choon Hi Choi

Seoul, Korea, is home for Choon
Hi Choi, the daughter of a '26
graduate who grew up hoping to
follow her mother's footsteps to
Atlanta. When in Atlanta during
the Korean War, Choon Hi's
mother sought a scholarship for
her. In 1955 the aid was granted,
and Choon Hi entered Agnes Scott.

Before coming to Scott, Choon,
Hi attended Ewah College, a
Methodist university for girls.
She says that the attitude and
spirit at Ewah differs from Agnes
Scott in many ways. The Chris-
tian spirit is not so strong, for
religious background is not con-
sidered for admittance. Because
the university claims 4,500 stu-
dents, the family atmosphere is
lacking. She likes the closeness
here.

Choon Hi feels that the faculty
and facilities of American col-
leges surpass those of her land.
The work in Korea is not so hard.
Social life is restricted, for the
university offers no extra-curricu-
lar activities. There is a form of
student government; however, its
organization is loose though busi-
nesslike.

A psychology major, Choon Hi
worked in Atlanta last summer
for a consulting psychologist. She
has not been to Korea for four
years.

Anneke Schepman

Born in Trinidad, Anneke
Schepman has spent most of her

life in Venezuela. Because she
wanted an English high school
education, she attended a British
boarding school in Jamaica.

Boarding school is far more
strict than Agnes Scott. A girl
remains there for three months
at a time, only being allowed to-]
leave campus on Sunday after-
noons. There are no dates, no
movies only girls and teachers.
Anneke feels "free as a bird" now.

In comparing her work, Anneke
feels that the quality is about the
same, but the assignments at Ag-
nes Scott double those at the
boarding school.

Anneke says that life in
America is more civilized than in
Venezuela. Things we take for
granted, such as dime stores and
drug stores, are missing in her
country.

Girls in Venezuela do not single
date until they are eighteen, says
Anneke. They would not consider
"going steady" until at least
twenty.

Lucy Yang

Lucy Yang is a special student
from Hong Kong, China.

Her high school required five
years' work for graduation. Then
two years must be spent prepar-
ing for Hong Kcing University.
Lucy had studied one year in
preparatory school before coming
to Agnes Scott.

Lucy's aunt and uncle, natura-
lized Americans living in Atlanta
recommended Agnes Scott when
her father expressed a desire that
Lucy attend college in the States.

Comparing the colleges is hard
for Lucy, because they are set in
two different cultures. She finds
the campus friendly and enjoys the
freedom. There is not so much
social life in Hong Kong. The peo-
ple mostly study, but she adds,
"They are not TOO studious!"

Boys are not such a popular
topic of conversation in Hong
Kong. She says girls do not wear
lipstick until they reach nineteen
or twenty.

Oak Ridge Sends Mobile
Unit For Radiation Course

By LAURA KNAKE

A new field will be introduced to the science department
at Agnes Scott beginning November 2 when the Oak Ridge
Institute of Nuclear Studies will send a mobile unit offering
a two weeks course in Basic Radiation Physics and Radio
Isotopes Research

Faculty and Student Participants

Members of the faculty who will
participate in the course are Wil-
liam Calder, Julia Gary, Nancy
Groseclose and Anne Salyerds.

Students who will take the
course are DeeDee Doan, Becky
Evans, Myra Glasure, Kathryn
John, Charlotte King, Warnell
Neal, Nancy Patterson and Marty
Young.

Agnes Scott and Wofford Col-
lege are the first two colleges in
the southeast to participate in the,
program. Oak Ridge is offering
the unit to the two colleges on a
trial basis.

Lectures will last from 4 p.m.
to 5:30 p.m., Monday through Fri-
day during the two weeks that
the unit will be here. They are
open to all who wish to attend.

Lab work will be for two hours
each day, with three pairs of par-
ticipants working at one time.

The mobile unit puts the essen-
tials of the Oak Ridge Training

Center "on wheels," enabling sci-
entists and students to have actual
work experience with radioactive
materials.

McKinney Award Registration
Lures Student Book Collectors

By NANCY BARRETT

Books, as many an avid reader will testify, are the open
door to adventure, intrigue, and hours of enjoyment.
One can travel in a limitless

scope of time and place: from the
world of music to the world of
chemistry, from the realm of the
philosophers to that of the biolo-
gist. All of this is in our heritage
of books.

A book award of $40 was first
awarded in 1931 to encourage the
love of reading and the delight in
ownership.

The Louise McKinney Book
Award, established as a tribute to
Miss Louise McKinney, professor
emeritus of English, is awarded
each year to the girl who takes
fhe best advantage of the insur-
ance of good books and in so do-
ing gathers her own personal li-
brary shelf.

The student must not only own
the collection, explains Miss Mc-
Kinney, she must possess it spirit-
ually and intellectually.

She believes "a love of reading
is one of the most valuable things
one can acquire." During her
years of teaching, Miss McKinney
awakened in many Agnes Scott
students a love of reading and a
delight in the ownership of books.
Nature of Collection

The collection may be in one
field or may cover several fields
cf 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. A collection may contain
gifts but the whole collection is
expected to give evidence of the
collector's own initiative and dis-
criminating choice. Books entered
should be collected from May to
May.

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 are informally inter-
viewed concerning their books.

The winner of the McKinney
Award is announced each year at
graduation exercises. The recipient
is expected to use it for some
kind of intellectual or artistic en-
richment; buying books, pictures
cr records, attending plays or con-
certs.

duction.

He visited a city known for its
fine precision tools, another known
as Russia's oldest metallurgical
center and owning a museum of
Siberian church art.

He was able to observe the mod-
ern engineering plants, and at
the same time, the log huts and
dirt roads which the Russian peo-
ple endure.

On the staff of The Constitution
since 1931, Mr. McGill first served
as sports editor. He was promoted
to executive editor in 1938, and in
1942 became editor. Before com-
ing to Atlanta, he was a reporter
and sports editor for The Banner
of Nashville, Tennessee.

His education includes prep
school at McCallie in Chattanoo-
ga, Tennessee, and degrees which
he holds from Vanderbilt Univer-
sity and the University of Miami.

He is a member of the board of
the Fund for the Advancement of
Education, and a member of the
Georgia Academy of Social Sci-
ences. In 1937-38, he was awarded
a Rosenwald Fellowship for travel
in Europe.

Mr. McGill was awarded a Pu-
litizer prize last May for his out-
standing editorials of 1958.

First Lady To Order Cookies,
Punch Supply For Junior Tea

By MILDRED LOVE

"The Juniors are cordially invited to tea at the President's
home on November 3 . . ." The card on the bulletin board an-
nounces an occasion to which each class and its sponsors look
forward during fall quarter.

Teas at the Alston's, special to
every Agnes Scott girl, reflect
Mrs. Alston's special efforts in the
details of refreshments and deco-
rations.

Criteria for Menus

Each aspect of a tea is carefully
planned in advance. Mrs. Alston,
using her menu for her prettiest
tea, orders her refreshments with
the criteria of rather-hungry girls'
appetites. Usually she orders eight
hundred sandwiches for two hun-
dred girls. A second cup of punch
is included in the calculations.

When she is serving punch, Mrs.
Alston has a frozen fruit floating
in each punch bowl. She plans for
each guest to have several cookies
and orders three pounds of nuts
to be sure to have enough.

Girls who serve are appropriate-
ly chosen for each tea. The heads
of the four boards and the fresh-
men dorm mothers served at the

freshmen tea. Recent graduates
served at the senior tea, while
Miss Scandrett and Mrs. Curry
poured.

Emergency Supply

Like all parties, teas at the Al-
stons are not without unexpected
occurrences. At a recent tea, the
second bowl of punch to be mixed
acquired a foreign ingredient as
a result of someone's using a gin-
ger ale bottle for the storage of
either kerosene or turpentine.
Mrs. A., a truly prepared Girl
Scout, had enough extra punch
ingredients to save the day.

These teas at the Alstons are
as beautifully given as any formal
tea in their home, but class teas
have the distinction of being ones
with the informal air of a family
gathering, for the Alstons want
each girl to make their home her
home-away-from-home.

Youth Faces Old Age

To a society of young people, aged 17 to 22, old age prob-
lems seem remote. Each one of us, however, has parents,
grandparents, and anticipated inlaws who will become 1
problems to themselves and us in time.

America, a nation which emphasizes youth
and sex, does not even like to think about
old age. In other cultures, the hoary head is
a mark of wisdom and dignity, calling for re-
spect and veneration.

It is a time of fulfillment, for a respected
place in society, for authority based on wis-
dom acquired through years of experience
in life.

In this country, however, it seems that

when one reaches the chronological age of 65 he is good for
nothing but retirement, even though his facilities are still
intact.

Shaw, Yeats, Toscanini, Einstein, Churchill, Frost, Sand-
burg all great old men of the century do not seem to
have convinced our nation of cosmetically preserved middle-
agers and teenage tyrants, where the number of senior citi-
zens has increased to 15 million, 8 percent of the population.

As A. M. A. President Louis Orr said recently, old age has
become for many a time of privation, of loneliness, and of
misery .instead of being a time of rewarding, fruitful living.
This is due to a combination of ignorance, bigotry, and pre-
judice on the part of families and employers.

The Forand Bill, currently in Congress, would provide
broad medical benefits to the aged in which all persons over
72 would be "blanketed in" to Social Security and receive
automatic minimum payments each month.

This cure-all bill would just make our senior citizens wards
of the Federal Governent, subject to Congressional whim and
political pressure, and bring the nation closer to being a wel-
fare state. It would cause higher taxes, and add to over-
crowded hospitals.

One solution, it seems, is not to throw all responsibility
on the government, shunning our own obligations and pick-
ing up the tab for everyone else through taxes, but to in-
crease the number of cooperatively run nursing homes and
homes for the aged.

Here the residents would share in the work and direction
of their daily lives.

Employment services for the aged, combined with a re-
vision of rigid company retirement policies would keep alert
minds at work, if they so desire.

But first and foremost we need to take on our individual
responsibilities cheerfully and as a nation to respect a grow-
ing segment of the population. C.F.

Hub, Center for ALL

One of the most improved of all places on campus is the
Hub. Though the architecture is unchanged, Social Council's
new decor has given Murphy Candler a refreshing atmos-
phere.

Too many people, however, are ignorant of the Hub's
facilities.

We have new card tables, a large kitchen,
a side room for everything from meeting to
studying, and most important, a cross-section
of the community.

Dormitory cliques could be deathly if some
relief were not provided, and this is the most
important function of the Hub.

In the Hub you find smokers and non-
smokers, potential Phi Beta Kappa's and

party dolls, bridge players, solitair addicts,

and Liverpool enthusiasts. (If you don't know what Liver
pool is, you'd better come over and at least find out.) Even I
cribbage and chess are building up followings.

This is the place for singing around the piano, for bull-
sessions and cokes, for losing that I've-got-a-test-tomorrow
tenseness. You even meet boys in the Hub.

We don't call people who go to the library the Library]
Group; it's a phase of activity that everyone finds necessary
to degrees.

Likewise, if there is a Hub group, it's composed of people
who find it contributes to a larger perspective on our life
at Agnes Scott. E.T.

idea I istica I ly hoped that Cuba
could ignore her background and
temperament and become a quiet,
democratic republic under Ameri-
can influence.

Instead her history has been
that of exploitation of the Cuban
people by Cuban dictators. Neither
Batista nor Castro has deserted
the tradition of tyranny.

The history of friendships be-
tween Cuba's island dictators and
the representatives of her giant
Northern neighbor, has not always
been smooth! However, rarely have
such bitter anti-American cam-
paigns as those of Castro and the
leftist element of his clique been
sc energetically conducted.

It is surely unusual that Castro
has not seen U. S. Ambassador
Philip W. Bonsai more than three
times since the rebel regime took
ever last January, (one of these
three times being when he desired
1o visit the U.S.).

This week's exhibition in Ha-
vana, seemingly based on false
charges, is a clear-cut example

of the continual barrage of anti
U.S. propaganda that the Cuban
government has appeared to en
courage.

In the nine months that he has
headed the government of Cuba
Castro has given his people spec-
tacular side shows but the eco-
nomic and political problems,
most of which were inherited, still
remain, and the biggest question
mark is sugar.

Considering that the future of
Cuba's sugar economy rests on the
good will of the 1960 U.S. Con-
gress, who will take up the re-
newal of the all important Sugar
Act, the future is not looking very
bright for Cuba nor for Castro
who seems to have forgotten what
it means to be a good neighbor.

Julie London Stars
In Mexican Movie

By ANN PARKER

Entertainment opportunities this
week center chiefly in movies and
plays.

"The Wonderful Country" at
Loew's is a tangled western filmed
in the magnificent scenery of the
Mexican border-
land. Robert
Mitchum plays
the bad guy who
turns out to be
the most sought-
after man in
town, by the
army, the Texas
Rangers and Ju-
lie London. As the "more woolly
than wild" plot unravels, anyone
can guess who wins.

The Atlanta Broadway Theatre
League presents the pre-Broadway
comedy, "Odd Man In." Ann
Sheridan and Scott McKay star
at the Tower Theatre, October 27-
29. at 8:30.

"The Big Fisherman," an adap-
tation of the novel by Lloyd C.
Douglas, continues at the Roxy.
Howard Keel stars in the role of
Simon Peter.

Late Snack Spots

For a different treat after a
movie or a play visit " The Golden
Horn" on Peachtree near the Art
Museum. They serve "expresso,"
and a variety of special coffees,
as well as pastries.

A perennial favorite for after-
movie refreshment is the "Seven
Steers." The informality of atmos-
phere and convenient location add
to the popularity of its good food.

Le Cercle Francois
Reunit Aujourd'hui

By ELLEN MIDDLEBROOKS

Parlez-vous francais? If so, the
members of the French Club ex-
tend a warm invitation to join
their spirited conversations "en
francais." "La table francaise" is a
popular spot on Thursday nights
in the Dining Hall from 5:30 to
6:30.

Proficient French isn't a pre-
requisite either, for such com-
ments as "j'aime la lamb chop"
and "Passez la salt" drift into the
conversation.

Programs For The Year
'La table francaise" is just one of
the many stimulating projects
planned by this year's French
Club.

In order to promote interest in
the French Club among first year
students a program of short skits
performed by the first year stu-
dents themselves has been planned
for the meeting this afternoon. At
this meeting, which will be held
at 4:30 in the recreation room
of Walters, the members will also
teach the new students some
favorite French songs.

With the spirit of Christmas
comes the delightful play pro-
duced and directed annually by M.
Thomas. During the winter quar-
ter color slides will be shown of
the French landscape and land-
marks.

Northern Flurries Gather Up
Fall Homecoming Enthusiasts

By LUCY BENTON AND JO ALLISON SMITH

Fall is suddenly coming upon us with great gusts of winds from
the four directions.

Scott seemed almost deserted after a strong north wind carried
many girls to other campuses for weekend whirls.

While Lebby Rogers went to Duke, the Hampden Sydney campus
lured Susan Alexander or was it the campus, Susan?

Emily Ann Evans and Joanna Russell and two Delts went up to
Harriman, Tennessee.

Lynne Lambert finally and quite excitedly caught that strong north
wind up to Chattanooga to see Jimmy Bowers.

Nancy Bond went nine hundred miles or more to Princeton to enjoy
the Northern weather or was it the weather? Well, whether the
weather or not she went.

Nancy didn't beat Mary Holman Curd in distance, though, for Mary
spent a most delightful weekend nearly eleven hundred miles away on
the Harvard campus.

Carolyn Benbow went home to enjoy the excitement of North Caro-
lina's Homecoming game as they played Wake Forest.

Marjorie Reitz was swept away by a southerly wind that carried
her to the University of Florida for Homecoming.

Jackie Day and Angelyn Alford attended the Big Thursday game
at Carolina and saw Clemson romp the Gamecocks 27-0!

On the homefront ,the. scene was gay, with many "tripping the
light fantastic" at different fraternity parties.

Esther Thomas, Nelia Adams, Sally Gordy, Nancy Sheriff, Robin
Rudolph, Rose Marie Traeger, and Angelyn Stokes enjoyed a delight-
ful and elegant Sigma Nu party at the Dinkier Plaza Hotel.

Elaine Sayers spent Saturday and Sunday up at Lake Burton with
John Barner at a Tech Phi Delt party.

Enjoying Robinson's Tropical Gardens last weekend were the KA's
of Emory, accompanied by Carey Bowen, Betty Shannon, Mary Beth
Howell, Rosie Clark and Germaine Calhoun.

Meade Boswell, Betty Ann Gatewood, Harriet Glover, Bebe Walker,
Kay Robertson, Kay Younger, and Aileen West danced to Fats Jack-
son's combo at the Sigma Chi party at Tech. They still roar about
what a big time they had!

Special congratulations go to Rose Clark who got pinned to Emory
dental student Bill Steifel, K. A.

Another lucky one is Peggy Jo Wells who accepted a Xi Psi Phi
pin from Emory dental student Joe Hughes.

Twenty - Three Seniors Explore
Varied Subjects Independently

By FRANCES # JOHNS

"This carrel is reserved for Suellen Beverly." So reads a card on one of the many "pri-
vate or reserved" carrels in the stacks of the library. Suellen is one of twenty-three seniors
who are participating in the Independent Study Program this year.

Suellen and "Electra

Suellen, this year's May Day
Chairman, has exciting plans for
her independent study, which is
entitled "A Production of the Elec-
tra of Sophocles for Agnes Scott
College."

After studying Greek mythology,
history, theater, and vase painting
and various versions of Electra,
Suellen will choose a version to be
presented for May Day. Then she
will begin to produce the play by
working on the staging, character
analysis, and costume designing.

Dance Group and Blackfriars
will combine to perform in this
production. Of these plans Suellen
says, 4 T hope the result of this
study will make this May Day pro-
duction one of high artistic merit
worthy of Agnes Scott."

Norwegian Albino Rat

Other independent study topics

range from "Cooperative Behavior
in the Norwegian Albino Rat" by
Priscilla Gainer to a study of Lu-
cretius's De Rerum Natura by

Martha Thomas.

Helen Mabry, who is studying
the short stories of contemporary
Southern writers such as William
Faulkner, Eudora Welty. Katherine
Anne Porter, and Robert Penn
Warren calls it "an illuminating
experience."

These writers are showing her
the same attitudes and people that
she knows, but are making her
"perk up" to them by translating
the ordinary into the extraordi-
nary.

Recognition of U. S. S. R.

Sara Anne Carey, who is taking

her topic, "The American Image
of the Soviet Union, 1929-1933."

By reading books and articles on
Russia written by Americans dur-
ing the years 1929-1933, she is
seeking the reasons for the de-
cided shift in American attitudes
toward the USSR which led to the
official recognition of Soviet Rus-
sia in 1933 by the" United States,
fully 16 years after the birth of
the Soviet Regime.

Boswell and Biography
Jo Flowers calls her study "an
invaluable experience." She is en-
joying immensely her work on
"The Art of Biography as Prac-
ticed by Johnson, Boswell. and
Others" and is amazed when her
three hours of study on it is over
each day.

Besides the fact that independent
study is advanced study that better
prepares one for graduate work,
Jo feels that the sense of freedom
that it gives is most important.

Eligibility

To be eligible for independent
study a student must have a B
average by the end of her junior
year.

In 1953-54 this program replaced
an honors program in order to give
an opportunity to a larger number
of superior students "to explore
for themselves some field of in-
tellectual or artistic interest and
to produce independently some
piece of work connected with it."

In replacing the honors program,
independent study is not connected
with graduating honors except that
to graduate with high honor one
must have completed at least six
quarter hours of independent
study.

as to how the

The freshmen
have shown much improvement
since the beginning of the season

note, being ably led by Ina Jones.

The sophomores nad some diffi-
culty at first in fielding a team,
but I understand that the prob-
lem has been remedied.

Rogers Cabin

I'd like to remind everyone to
take advantage of the Rogers

Steel And Economy

For over three months now we have witnessed a titanic
struggle which more than any other single factor will shape
the history of years to come for this country.
The steel strike, which began in July, has become a struggle
between labor and management for control of industry.

Whatever the outcome, labor has been hurt
deeply. The steel strike is being termed the
end of an era in labor relations, the begin-
ning of another with hard bargaining and
perhaps many more long hard-fought strikes.

Labor has lost the right to demand and re-
ceive wage increases and benefits without
first showing an increase in production which
warrants a raise.

The cost so far has been staggering the
loss of federal taxes alone will probably result in a deficit in
the budget instead of the expected surplus. Losses for all of
business will run into multi-billions, and will continue to
rise for a period even after the strike is settled.

Inflated prices of steel are expected on the "grey market"
due to shortages even after settlement. Thus the effects are
already inflationary, but this should be a short term effect.

We may well ask, then, if the stand taken by the steel in-
dustry is best for the country as a whole. The answer, we
believe, is a most emphatic yes.

America has been caught up in a great galloping inflation
for over a decade now, and we must realize that it can not
be defeated without some sacrifice.

Let us hope and pray that the trend which steel has estab-
lished will be followed 1 all down the line, and that each Ameri-
can will make any personal sacrifices necessary.

The very basis of our democracy our economic philosophy
demands it if we are to survive in the world community.

We Think

Drinking Code Rehashed

(Editors Note: "We Think" is a series of guest editorials sponsored
by Lower House in order to give voice to opinions or ideas of indivi-
duals and groups on campus. The procedure for expressing opinions
in this column is to contact your Lower House Representative. This
column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of Lower House.)

In signing the honor pledge every Agnes Scott student
gives her word that while under the jurisdiction of the college
she will not drink.

This is a trust which the students have with the campus
community, and with a trust comes responsibility which in-
volves interpretation and evaluation.

This article concerns those of us who do not consider drink-
ing a moral issue but who are willing to respect the practical
reasons which necessitate Agnes Scott's having a non-drink-
ing policy.

We do not feel the college is trying to mold us into pious
little creatures. Neither is it interested in limiting our free-
dom to choose between right and wrong.

Rather the college is attempting to operate in accord with
those who assist Agnes Scott in achieving its purpose.

These include the trustees and others who with their time
and money are working for Agnes Scott's success as well as
the administration, many of the faculty, and many of those
who send their daughters here.

That Agnes Scott is located in the South is a major factor
behind our having a non-drinking policy. The Southern atti-
tude toward drinking by young people is not as liberal as
that of the North.

The minimum age of twenty-one for buying packaged
liquor and mixed drinks, the fact that in many places liquor
can not be purchased on Sunday and other restrictions on
time and number of places where liquor can be bought are
examples indicative of this attitude.

Therefore, since the majority of our student body is under
twentv-one, it would be extremely unreasonable for Agnes
Scott to sanction a practice in conflict with state regulations
which make it illegal for us to drink.

We do not feel that social drinking is morallv wrong but
highlv impractical at Agnes Scott, and thus adherence to a
non-drinking code is made a point of honor.

Internationally Speaking

Nationalists Create Domestic
Tension in Formosan Society

By MARCI TOBEY

Taiwan, located east of the Chinese mainland, has been
the center of an East-West conflict ever since Chiang Kai-
shek and the remnants of his army descended on the little
island in 1949.

In contrast to the irregularity
with which international diplo-
mats have spotlighted the off-
shore island, the Formosans, dur-
ing every minute of the last ton
years, have been acutely aware
of the problems precipitated by
the presence of the Nationalist
Chinese in their homeland.

Today's Formosan, whose an-
cestors fled from China 250 years
ago, is a part of an up-and-com-
ing community.

Over half of Taiwan's popula-
tion are farmers the most skilled
and prosperous in the Far East
with the exception of the Japa-
nese.

The Formosan farmer, although
he may be illiterate, works his
land intensively, planting wheat or
rice, sugar or vegetables and often
getting as many as five crops from
the same field in a single year.

But an aging refugee society of
2 million mainland Chinese has
super-imposed itself on the go-
ahead society of the 8 million For-
mosans.

Although the U. S. has paid
most of the bills during the past

decade, the free Chinese, by the
very fact of their presence, have
had a wearing effect on Taiwan's
economy.

The chief complaint of the For-
mosans is that only one of their
countrymen holds a top position
in the nationalist government of
the island and that position is
purely ornamental.

In other words, they have no
hand in the formation of the pol-
icies which will guide the country
in the next few, very important
years.

The future of the Taiwanian
Society is at stake. However, if
there be any one factor drawing
two such different peoples as the
Formosans and the Chinese closer
together, it is the threat of com-
munism.

Books Treat Views
Of Man, His Culture

By LISA AMBROSE

New books in a variety of fields
have been acquired by the Agnes
Scott library recently and are
now available for circulation.
Among the interesting titles are
the following:

MAN IN MODERN FICTION,
Edmund Fuller, 813.509 F95m, 165
pp. A provocative analysis which
openly bases its case on the tra-
ditional Christian view of the na-
ture of man, Mr. Fuller's book
probes the images of man and
their implications as found in cur-
rent writing.

"The beat generation," sex and
censorship, and "the new compas-
sion" are topics dealt with in his
scrutiny of the works of Tennes-
see Williams, Herman Wouk, John
Steinbeck, and others.

THE IMMENSE JOURNEY,
Loren Eiseley, 814.5 Ei8i, 210 pp.
The story of man told with a blend
of scientific knowledge and imagi-
native vision describes this book
written by an anthropologist and
naturalist.

Past president of the American
Institute of Human Paleontology,
Loren Eiselen offers "no fashion-
able answers, but an enlargement
.of those questions that nourish
and expand the secret of life."

RELIGION AND CULTURE,
Essays in Honor of Paul Tillich,
230 L53r, 399 pp. This i m <
citing new book consisting of es-
says by a number of distinguished
contemporary writers and think-
ers on the great issues of spiritual
and cultural life.

Among those contributing to
the volume are Karl Barth, Emil
Brunner, Rudolf Bultmann, Erich
Fromm, and Reinhold Niebuhr.
Some of the major topics con-
sidered by these men are "Re-
ligion and the Dilemmas of Con-
temporary Existence," "Religion
and the Encounter of East and
West," and "Religion and World
Order."

Satchmo, Trio Send Scotties
Toward Musical Cloud Seven

By JACKIE DAY

Alfred E. Newman, Blossom the Skunk, Eloise, and Peanuts jived,
jazzed and really lived this past Halloween week!

Feted by the Emory and Georgia Tech campuses, they climaxed the
most stupendous week of the fall Greek Week at Emory and the
Yellow Jackets' Homecoming at Tech.

"Satchmo was gone, man!" as the cats and kittens say, and so was
Emory Friday night.

Trumpeting 'til after midnight, Satch wowed all the Scott girls
Bonnie Gershen, Laura Knake, Karen Haralson, Jane Womack, Biba
Connor, Helen Hereford, Mary Culpepper, and Kay Younger.

"Satch is natch," exclaimed Angelyn Stokes, Alice Coffin, Beth
Fuller, Carolyn Pollard, Judy Duncan, Emily Bivens, Dianne Smith,
Ann Whisnant, Jane Bennett, and Janie Fincher. Satch's female vocal-
ist (and dancer?), Thelma Middleton, roused the crowd almost as
much as Satch himself!

Tech's attraction (other than males) was not to be topped by any
entertainment! The Kingston Trio's performance "sent everyone into
another world." No wonder those albums in all the dorms struck up
immediately at 12:30.

Scott gals also deserted the campus for the S. A. E. party and
Homecoming Betty Lewis, Mary Stokes, Ruth Simmons, Suzanne
Pickens, Norris Johnson, and Ann Lee.

The Sigma Nu House was graced by Liz Acree, Mary Culclasure.
Pete Brown, Nancy Sheriff, and Sandy Creech. Betty Czeckowicz,
Bonnie Myer, and Nancy Stillman chose the Delta Tausu.

Although the outcome of the football game was a "wreck," the
Betas didn't let this affect their Homecoming as proved by the lively
week-ends of Caroline Askew, Linda Lentz, Jane Patterson, Susan
Winbigler, and Lynn Hormel.

The Phi Gams royally feted Lillian Smith, Mary Beth Howell. Ruth
Shepherd, Carol Cowan, Ruth Seagle, Harriet Higgins and Flossie
Gaines.

The question, "To which campus do we evacuate?" was easily solved
by the multitude of Davidson admirers (it's vice-versa too, eh girls?).

The Homecoming there seemed almost as though Agnes Scott and
Davidson were "co-hosting." Jane Nabors, Lucy Schow, Phyllis Cox,
Lisa Ambrose, Mary Jane Moore, Willie Byrd Childress, Bebe Walker,
Betty Gillespie, Suzanne Crosby, Carey Bowen, Jean Medearis, and
Ethel Gilmore invaded the Southern gentlemen's campus.

Carroll Rogers. Margie Reitz. Polly Page, Jo Claridy, and Penny
Johnston also spent "most unforgettable times" there.

Trotting off to Homecoming at the University of Alabama were
Libba Lee, Aileen Samford and Pat Allen, while Susan Smith-T
watched the War Cadets beat Florida at Auburn Homecoming.

Nancy Inch, winner of the distance medal this week, flew to New
York and saw the first Army vs. Air Force football game. (Was this
the only attraction?)

Edith Hanna traveled to South Carolina to Furman University
while Carolyn Teague was guest at Presbyterian College. Ellen Middle-
brooks journeyed to Georgia in Athens for the week-end.

Best wishes to Rachel Fowler, engaged to Kempton Harris, a grad-
uate student at Emory.

Another big event this week-end was T. K. E. at* Tech Marvin
Martin's yielding his pin to senior June Hall.

People Quiz Astronomer
As ice, Moon Create Stir

Dr. William Calder, Professor of Physics and Astronomy,
perhaps has a new job that of a perpetual participant on a
daily, sometimes hourly quiz program.

People from all over the south-
east are constantly calling in or
writing questions to Dr. Calder.

He receives every kind of ques-
tion, from the early morning caller
who wants to know "What's this
big, bright object in the East?"
to an inquiry about the meteor
succession or shower of 1913.

Falling Ice

"What about this falling ice? Is
it possible that it is not from the
earth? Has the other side of the
moon really been seen?" Dr.
Calder reports that these are
among the most recent questions.
Perhaps they are ones that have
even been asked by many Agnes
Scott students.

As for the ice that fell in Toc-
coa, Georgia and in Italy on Oct.
9, Dr. Calder says that it is pos-
sible that it is "ice from heaven"
or not of the earth. Although there
has never been a case in history
of anything being picked up from
a comet or a meteor shower fol-
lowing a comet, it is possible that
circumstances were right on Oc-
tober 9.

Comet Swarm

Dr. Calder explains these cir-
cumstances in the following way:
A comet is made up of ice. There-
fore, on October 9 it is possible
that a swarm overtook the earth
so slowly that the ice of it did not
evaporate.

If this ice is found to be heavy
water or that of a comet, Dr. Cal-
der will be instrumental in proving
this history-making phenomena.

He called the people in Toccoa
who found the ice and told them
to save the water to send to the

Smithsonian Institute. Through
Dr. Calder's efforts, the Smith-
sonian Institute has been con-
tacted, and the water is being
shipped to Washington.

There the Institute plans to
refreeze the water in order to find
whether or not it was "ice from
heaven."

Other Side of Moon

Has the other side of the moon
really been seen? Dr. Calder re-
plies that the answer to this ques-
tion is yes.

"The most amazing thing about
it is that it could be done," he
says. Also, the importance of this
historic event lies in being able to
get away from the earth's atmos-
phere and to use the moon as an
observatory. As Dr. Calder ob-
serves, "It is better to shoot to
the moon than at each other."

Many of the questions that Dr.
Calder receives require research.
Even these he answers in letters.
Dr. Calder says that he "enjoys
being put on the spot" by these
questions and these quizzers.

If he didn't, many questions
would perhaps go unanswered.

"When the leaves turn red in
the fall," they bring to the campus
reminders of the annual event of
fall quarter Fall Frolics.

In a modest effort to compete
with Emory's Greek Week and
Georgia Tech's Homecoming cele-
bration, Athletic Association and
Social Council, co-sponsors of Fall
Frolics, have planned a multitude
of activities to interest all Scot-
ties.

Weekend Schedule

Things get under way on Satur-
day afternoon, November 14, with
a jam session in the Hub featuring
Hurricane Jackson with music
from 3:30 until 5.

The Modern Jazz Sextet takes
the spotlight on Saturday night
and will furnish music from 8:30
until 11:30 in the gym. Dress for
the dance is semi-formal.

Theme Still Secret

The theme of the dance, which
will be carried out in the decora-
tions, remains a closely guarded
secret .

A special event which has been
added to the Fall Frolics list of
activities this year is the break-
fast in the basement of Walters
from 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Another special feature of the
exciting weekend is the Grand-
daughters Club coffee from 1:30
to 2:30 in the Hub on Sunday
afternoon.

Tickets

Tickets for this big weekend
will be on sale in the mailroom
through Friday from 8:30 to 9:30
a.m. and from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Bonnie Gershen for Social
Council and Boo Florence for Ath-
letic Association are serving as
chairman and co-chairman of Fall
Frolics, respectively.

Fall Frolics originally was in-
stigated in 1957 to replace the
Athletic Association square dance
and the Cotillion Club dance given
annually by Social Council.

Values Out Of Kilter?

Amid all the pious excuse-making in connection with the
quiz program scandals, many have considered the whole affair
an indictment of our glorious nation with its commercial
values.

Clearly, the Great American Public need;
values in the fields of education, entertain-
ment ,and ethics.

However, the affair extends beyond our
national borders in its grave repercussions in
its effect upon our ideological battle with
communism .

George F. Kennan, formerly Ambassador
to the Soviet Union, summed up the Ameri-
can dilemma with frank words which en-
compass many phenomena, including pos-
sibly the Van Doren tragedy.

"If you ask me as a historian let us say whether a coun-
try in the state this country is in today, with no highly de-
veloped sense of national purpose, with the overwhelming
accent of life on personal comfort and amusement, with a
dearth of public services and a surfeit of privately sold gad-
getry, with a chaotic transportation system, with its great
urban areas being gradually disintegrated by the headlong
switch to motor transportation, with an educational system
where quality has been extensively sacrificed to quantity,
and with insufficient social discipline even to keep its major
industries functioning without grievous interruptions if you
ask me whether such a country has, over the long run, good
chances of competing with a purposeful, serious and disci-
plined society such as that of the Soviet Union, I must say
that the answer is 'no'." C.F.

Taking Things Seriously

Responsibility and dependability, which go hand in hand
with each other, are preached upon often by parents and edu-
cators. The fact that they are so often the subjects of serious
discussions emphasizes their extreme importance.

Here at Agnes Scott, once the new student becomes a mem-
ber of the college community, she takes on
the sobering responsibility of the Honor
System which includes the responsibility for
her roommate, the girl down the hall, and
the rest of the student body.

During her four years at Scott, she will
take on added responsibilities in academic,
extra-curricular, and social areas.

One of the biggest responsibilities we have
is to do our best in academic work. After all,
the primary function of Agnes Scott is to provide the oppor-
tunity for a liberal arts education.

In organizational work, not having a poster made or not
handing in an artidle by the deadline are just as bad as if the
president of an organization exempted herself from her duties.

In the social area, not breaking dates and arranging for
blind dates for 'others can be thought responsibilities. We
are always reminded of our responsibility in social activities
to act "as an Agnes Scott girl should."

Besides these, there are responsibilities in everyday life
on the campus which are too easily ignored. There has been
evidence of infractions of the campus dress policy, such as
riding bicycles in bermudas on Sunday.

Many times people have been seen to go through the lab
line in the dining hall at 8 o'clock in the morning. And what
has happened to quiet hours?

These may seem to some people minor grievances as far
as responsibilities go, but from these small infractions stem
major disregard of campus rules and policies.

As most of us are aware, college life is full of responsi-
bilities. But, are we carrying them out, fulfilling our promi-
ses, and doing our best in every Job we accept?

Employers in every occupational field look for the de-
pendable person who has learned to be responsible. The re-
liable person is always sought out in any social group or
organization.

College can develop us into more dependable individuals
onlv if we take our responsibilities here seriously. M.J.M.

West Holds Summit Preview
To Establish Basic Positions

By MARCI TOBEY

Much criticism has been voiced over the decision to post-
pone the East-West summit conference until the spring of
1960.

However if this meeting of the
world's top leaders is going to be
a meaningful one, the necessity of
adequate thoughtful preparation
should be con-
sidered. Each' in-
dividual member
of the family of
nations must
take an inventory
of its policies.

President de
Gaule, for ex-
ample, naturally

wants His country to be 1 in as
strong a position as possible at
the talks, and the power of France
will certainly be improved if the
Algerian problem can be brought
closer to a solution.

Not only is it vital for each

"Pillow Talk" at Loew's stars Rock Hudson and Doris Day

Man-about-town Rock's domina-
tion of the party

'Zyzzle' Sets Mood
For Evening Wear

By ANNA MARIA AVILES

Many are the ladies who are
attending important evening
functions these days, so it seems
proper to emphasize the import-
ance of evening wear, specially
since Fall Frolics is just around
the corner.

This year the look for college
parties is known as the "Evening
Zyzzle." The colors sparkle and
everything seems to glow in
contrast with the daytime muted
colors. Gold metallic silk brocades,
cranberry-red velvets, white chif-
fon, jet velvet, emerald green
peau-de-soie and pale-blue satin
are all part of this spectacular
look.

The dress is the ever popular
cocktail dress and the favorite
style will be a simple classic
which may be changed by differ-
ent accessories. Among college
girls all over the nation, this favo-
rite is the sheath with a matching
jacket.

Two Piece Attire

Two piece outfits rate almost
one hundred' precent. A velvet
skirt and silk or brocade top with
a matching silk lined jacket is a
typical example of casual ele-
gance. Matching champagne cot-
ton lace separates with a rich
acetate taffeta cummerbund are
also seen.

Playhouse November 9 through 12.
Curtain time is 8:30 for this com-
edy about a "zany" family.

The All Star Concert Series
presents Gina Bachauer at the
Municipal Auditorium, November
12, at 8:30. The distinguished
Greek pianist will be heard in a
full recital for the first time with
the All Star Series.

"The Man Who Understood
Women" at the Fox alternates be-
tween farce and pathos. Henry
Fonda plays Pygmallion to Leslie
Caron. Their marriage leaves much
to be desired and the wife wan-
ders .The husband's attempted re-

vides comic relief.

CCUN'S Joe Sills
Speaks To Campus

"The Role of the United States
in the U. N." will be the subject of
a talk by Joe Sills, Wednesday,
November 11, at 7:30 p.m. in East
Date Parlor, Main.

Joe Sills is a recent Phi Beta
Kappa graduate of Vanderbilt
University.

While he was at Vanderbilt, Mr.

pa.

nation to set its own house in
order, but friendly countries
who share the same ideals and
seek similar goals also have to
find some common denominator
on which to stand at negotia-
tions.

In order to bring about this re-
conciliation of Western views, a
meeting of President de Gaulle,
Chancellor Adenauer, Prime Min-
ister McMillan and President
Eisenhower will be held in Paris
on December 19.

The degree of unity which can
be reached at this time and
further displayed at the spring
conference will have a deciding
effect on the outcome of an
East-West summit meeting.
Obviously, then, there are sound
reasons for postponing the sum-
mit conference for several months.

On the other hand, these rea-
sons should not be used merely as
an excuse for frittering or as a
time to engage in a propaganda
campaign for either block of na-
tions.

The fact that future security of
many of the peoples of the world
is largely dependent upon the ad-
justment of East-West conflcts
indicates that a summit meeting
should be held as soon as it is
practically possible.

Class of '62 Attends
Alston's Tea Today

Dr. and Mrs. Wallace Alston
will honor the sophomore class
this afternoon with a tea in their
home.

Mrs. Alston has said the tea
will be very informal. The hours
are to be 4:00 to 5:30. Sophomore
class sponsors. Dr. S. L. Doer-
pinghaus and Dr. Henry Robinson,
will also be guests of the Alstons'

Rabbi Gilbert Talks
On Interfaith Work

Friday's chapel program will

Gilbert entitled "Interreligious Re-
lations in America, A Jewish Per-
spective."

tional Department of Interre-
ligious Cooperation of the Anti-
Defamation League of B'nai
B'rith. In this capacity he rep-
resents the concerns of the
Jewish community before na-
tional Protestant and Catholic
church organizations.
He has written a number of
articles and studies that are now
used in church-school curriculum
of several Protestant denomina-
tions.

Rabbi Gilbert edits the Christian
Friends Bulletin, which interprets
interreligious relations. He is as-
sistant editor <>[' The Reconstruc-
tionist magazine, and has publish-
ed articles in numerous magazines
published by various denomina-
tional groups.

has done graduate work at The-
odore Reik's National Psycholo-
gical Association for Psycho-
analysis. He received his clinical
experience from work at a
school for emotionally disturbed
boys and in the psychiatric
wards of New Jersey Veterans'
hospital.

He now devotes some time as
a pastoral counsellor at the Theo-
dore Reik Mental Health Center in
New York City.

After being o retained Reformed-
rabbi from the New York branch

Institute of Religion in 1951, Rab-
bi Gilbert served as assistant rab-
bi at the historic temple, B'nai Je-
shurun, in Newark, New Jersey.

Since then he has been occupy-
ing his position with the Anti-
Defamation League.

Tide of the University of Alabama to victory over Tulane.

Mary Stokes, Betsy Jefferson, Caroline Johnson, Helen Linton, and
Lillian Smith danced and cheered with the cadets at the Citadel in

"Project!" "React!" "Pick up your cues!" These imperatives

acting aspects of "The Heiress," Blackfriars fall production
Play-Making Activities

When the night of performance,
November 20, rolls around, the
Blackfriars will have spent six
weeks in rehearsal, averaging
approximately eleven hours per
week. This period of time, how-
ever, does not take into account
the hours spent memorizing cues,
perfecting speeches, making artis-
tic silk screens for publicity, de-
signing the program, and collect-
ing nineteenth century costumes.

The members responsible for
the various aspects of play pro-
duction, under the able supervision
of Director Roberta Winter and
Technical Director Elvena Greene,
are Margaret Havron, Costume
Chairman, and Millie McCracey,

Long History of Success

Why all this work? The scenes
must be practiced and repracticed
until split second timing is achiev-
ed. The Blackfriars, as the oldest
club on campus, has produced suc-
cess after success in its 43 years
of creative work; the standard of
excellence becomes a little higher
each year.

Why is there all this enthusiasm
among the people involved in "The
Heiress" that makes them say,
"It's a wonderful play sit down
and let me tell you about it!" The
enthusiasm stems from the play
itself, its insight into human emo-
tions and its modern day adapt-
ability.

The Blackfriars describe at great
length the woman of wealth and
position who falls in love, but the
outcome of the play, her decision
whether to marry or not, still re-
mains a closely-guarded secret.

Skies Clear For Hockey;
Sophomores, Juniors Win

By BETTY KNEALE

In spite of the cold weather and the threat of rain, the
first hockey games have finally been played! It surely did
look good to see the class reds, yellows, blues, and greys on
the field again

These games seem to have perk-
ed everyone. Here's hoping that
the next two Fridays are pretty,
so that the campus can at least
have half a hockey season.

The games themselves (Juniors
vs. Seniors. Freshmen vs. Sopho-
mores) were very good, consider-
ing the lack of practice of each
team. The junior and senior teams
played an especially excellent
game.

Junior Agility

Betsy Dalton and Bunny Henry
were at their usual agile, power-
ful best. Betsy made two goals,
Bunny one. However, without
coordination and teamwork the
juniors could not have won.

The game, though, was not at
all one-sided. In fact, the teams
were so nearly well-matched that
it was an exceptionally exciting
game. On the senior team, Imray
made a spectacular goal, and "Du-
vy" and Bowman looked good, too.
The Sophomores

The sophomores, although still
needing much practice, thoroughly
thrashed the infant freshman team
3-0. Peggy Mitchell made a beau-
tifully powerful drive that was
good for one goal, and Genie Mc-
Lemore made the other two.

Besides these girls, Askew and
Hershburger made some good

plays. The sophomores need espe-
cially to work on playing their
own positions and giving each
other room in which to play.

The freshman, a very fast team,
with much spirit and determina-
tion, just lacked the coordination
that comes with practice. Their
opponents had better be on guard
for a much improved team next
Friday !

On the basis of the first games,
it appears that the juniors will
place first, the sophomores second,
the seniors third and freshmen
fourth.

tennis tournament will be held
this week. Everyone is requested
to play her match in the allotted
time so that the tournament can
finish on schedule. The best match
of the week was the one between

Thespians Present Victorian
In Colorful Costumes, Authentic Props

By MARTHA CAMPBELL

For the next few nights, Presser Hall will be the busiest place on campus, as the Black-
friars put the finishing touches on their fall production, "The Heiress."

Amid an authentic Victorian setting and authentic Victorian costumes, the Blackfriars
have been hard at work on what is expected to be "the best play Blackfriars has ever done

Finishing scenery, smoothing

out lines, collecting props, fitting
costumes, working on make-up,
and getting out publicity: these
are only a few of the many jobs
that the Blackfriars have been
busy with for the past week.

By far the most colorful part
of working on "The Heiress" has
been creating the ornate Victori-
an costumes. Acording to Mar-
garet Havron, Costume Commit-
tee Chairman, the costumes are
"authentically as 1850-ish as the
Agnes Scott library will provide."

THE HEIRESS
Tickets: $.50 and $1.00
Date: November 20
Time: 8:30 p.m
Place: Gaines

The women will wear dresses
with long hoop-skirts and long
bell-shaped sleeves with the char-
acteristic white cuff. When ven-
turing out of the Victorian living
room, they don bonnets and full-
length coats. The men wear typi-

cal Victorian swallow-tailed and
frock coats.

All but one of the women's
dresses were the original designs
of the Costume Committee. The
other was a Paris dress found in
a French book of authentic Paris
fashions of the 1850's. The Paris
dress is dark blue taffeta with
plaid trim on the flounces of the
skirt.

The Blackfriars were assisted
in their costuming by Mrs. C. W.

Rigidity Vs. Reason

Though we at Agnes Scott make continual changes in our
regulations leading to a more liberal social policy, the de-
velopment of the Apartment Policy, viewed in the context
of our increasing responsibilities, has been regressive.

When the present members of the Junior Class were
Freshmen, it was permissable for three couples to visit an
apartment. This constituted approved chaperonage, and
this privilege was a joyous responsibility.
The three-couple policy enabled congenial groups to meet
in a relaxed atmosphere, minus the human melange of fra-
ternity house or Hub, away from the superficiality of a per-
petual round of movie dates and dances.

Apartments provided a facsimile of the naturalness of
home, and this environment tends to counteract superficiali-
ties and affectations which tend to creep into the usual round
of dating relationships.

Each of us can appreciate Dr. Evelyn Millis Duvall's warn-
ing to learn the tastes, the interests, the normal routine of I
behavior of those we date. However, discovering the person |
behind the party front is difficult in our present situation at
Agnes Scott.

The general reason for the current apartment policy seems
to be directly related to morals. We get the image of the
lecherous wolf luring Red Riding Hood into Grandma's shack.
However, even in this age of liberation, sexual morality
still rates with academic honesty as a valuable virtue. It
is a firmly rooted principle with most girls, and we feel
it is especially firmly rooted in the moral fibre of the
Agnes Scott girl.

Circumstances do not affect deeply-rooted principles. Like-
wise, the girl who has discarded chastity will not be stopped
by a rigid apartment policy. If she is sexually immoral, she
will continue to find opportunities.

Many Agnes Scott girls date boys who have no fraternity
affiliation. Even those who do cannot usually provide the
financial resources for perpetual entertainment.

There is no place to listen to hi-fi music, no place for a
girl to practice her cooking, no place for relaxed comfort
. . . except for the lucky few who date Atlanta boys and
can occasionally visit in their homes.
We think that the Executive Committee should consider a
revision of the Apartment Policy. It is the only policy in the
school which has been changed from reasonable to rigid,
while the philosophy behind most changes in policy has been
that we are capable of handling additional responsibilities
and privileges.

The justification for returning to the three-couple policy
we feel lies in the character of the Agnes Scott girl. Three
of them together should be sufficient to counteract the "ap-
pearances" problem. E.T.

Find A Steam Valve

All of us at one time or another during our college careers
get an idea that there must be something else to life besides
"reading, riting and rithmetic" eighteen hours a day.

We begin to feel the pressure of constant work and worry
over that paper due next Monday after a long weekend, then
a quiz on Tuesday and when in the world to sleep and eat.
Even if we are lucky enough to find time to get away
from it all for a few hours, that nagging, guilty feeling of
work still to be done plagues us and spoils half the fun.

When the pressure begins to move in, then it's time to take
an old fashioned day off, put books away and leave school
behind for awhile. The therapy of time away from everyday
environs and worries is amazing.

It doesn't make much difference where you go, whether
for a long ride by bicycle or car or just an all day shopping
tour.

But for complete relaxation and a freeing of the soul,
there is no substitution for a visit with nature. There is
something special about stretching out under a tree and
watching little creatures go by.

Any problems that we have seem insignificant in the face
of all the wonder and beauty which we find around us in our
everyday world.

What we recommend, then, is that whenever that trapped
feeling strikes, put school from your mind and WASTE a day.
It pays off big dividends we'll guarantee them.

Internationally Speaking

India, China Face Boundary
Crisis on Himalaya Frontier

By MARCI TOBEY

Last week Communist China proposed a 25 mile demili-
tarization zone along its 2500 mile frontier with India. Pre-
mier Chou En-lai also suggested a personal meeting in "the
immediate future" with Premier Nehru in order to discuss
the border dispute.

The outcome of this uneasy
border situation will profoundly
affect the future
of India as well
as the surround-
ing free Asian
countries.

Even before
China became a
Communist sat-
ellite, border
conflicts be-
tween the 600,000,000 man nation
and its largest neighbor, India,
were clouding the international

Letters To The Editor

Music Critic Presents Plea;
Purdom Notes Forum Results

Dear Editor:

What a wonderful concert! Last
Thursday Mme. Gina Bachauer,
the renowned Greek pianist, per-
formed masterpieces of Bach,
Brahms, Chopin, and Stravinsky
with great sensitivity.

It speaks well for the cultural
level of the Atlanta college stu-
dents that they are always so well
represented in the audiences of
these concerts.

However, some staid citizens of
Atlanta were undoubtedly some-
what puzzled by such strange
lyrics as "TU shut up my mug if
you'll fill up my jug," pouring
forth from a parked bus directly
in front of the auditorium.

On other occasions said citi-
zens might have heard, in the
same accomplished voices, strains
of "One day a rooster" or "Those
sexy billboards drove me wild."

Imagine the amazement of these
citizens as from the bus emerged
the epitome of Atlanta's feminine
charm and dignity.

Now, I ask you, dear editor,
mightn't we stop singing just five
minutes sooner?

Most sincerely,
Maria Mozart

Dear Editor:

I would like to report to the
student body the results of the
suggestions that were made at
the last Open Forum. At that
time, we discussed later time lim-
its, and we all know the out-
come of that proposal.

We also considered the possi-
bility of voting to keep the Hub
open during chapel time. I sug-
gested to the students who wanted
this that they petition Exec to

consider this issue. Since they
have not, I assume that interest
was not sufficient to do this.

As to smoking in the infirmary,
Mason and I have talked with Dr.
Peltz, but we still have to consult
other members of the administra-
tion. We will keep you posted on
the results of this suggestion.

I sincerely urge each of you to
come to Open Forum this Thurs-
day and share your ideas with the
student body. Each of us has one
creative suggestion to make life
better on the campus. And student
opinion does count!

A perfect example of this, I
think, is the change in our time
limits.

Last spring at Exec's handbook
retreat we discussed later time
limits but, not being aware of the
feeling of students about this, we
did not push this issue. With
strong student support this fall,
we were able to get this new
privilege.

Already on the agenda for
Thursday are bermudas on Satur-
day morning, this year's May Day,
and that unknown quantity "x"
that is lurking somewhere in the
back of your mind.

Sincerely,
Eve Purdom

Education Students

Dr. William McClosky, Director
of the Junior League School of
Speech Correction, will talk to ed-
ucation and child psychology
classes on the causes and types of
speech defects. Friday, November
20, at 11:10 a.m. in Room 3, But-

He and members of his staff will

horizon.

The McMahon line of 1914,
located along the crest of the
Himalayas, was never officially
ratified by the Chinese gov-
ernment which maintained the
boundary line should be drawn"
along the southern foothills.
For the last 45 years the In-
dian government has been insist-
ing that before any other minor
demarcation points could be dis-
cussed with China, the McMahon
line must be recognized.

Now that China is in a favor-
able position to discuss such a
matter, it has reversed its un-
conciliatory attitude and has
expressed its willingness to ne-
gotiate with India.
In Kashmir the disputed area is
on the northern side of the Kar-
akoran Range with China claim-
ing the boundary should be sit-
uated along the crest of the
mountains.

The border there has been so
indefinite and remote that the
Chinese had built a road across
the Indian-claimed territory two
years before officials in New Del-
hi even knew about it.

After they had taken account
of the progress made by the
Chinese in that area, Indian
officials realized that the Com-
munist Chinese occupied 6,000
square miles of India's terri-
tory.

A clash between Indian and Chi-
nese forces on October 21, pushed
the Chinese 12^ miles back into
the province of Ladakh where
Chou En-lai is now proposing a
permanent boundary line be
drawn.

Nehru is for the first time feel-
ing a terrific awkwardness in
dealing with a big Red bully who
not only has proclaimed that In-
dia's back porch is his but has
also placed his foot on India's
doorstep.

Nehru's hope that India be a
bridge between East and West may
become a reality although not in
the same fashion as the premier
bad intended.

Reds Menace Latin Countries;
Political Threat in Venezuela

(Editor's note: This is the first in a. series of articles by ASC foreign
students concerning communism in relation to their country. Anneke
Schepman is a freshman from ' Valencia, Venezuela, a land of great
importance due to the huge deposits of oil and minerals foitnd there.)

By ANNEKE, SCHEPMAN

In Venezuela, as in most of the Latin American countries,

the threat of communism is ever present. In this land of rags

and riches, there are endless possibilities for anyone who

wants to gain followers as do the communists.

As soon as a representative ar-
rives, she dons her black academic
robe, which she wears all during
the meeting. The circle of black-
robed members adds an air of
solemn responsibility.

When a member has to call
someone for further informaton
on a case, she leaves her robe in
the room. A visitor realizes when
she returns and puts on her robe
that this adds a dimension of im-
partiality to the proceedings. The
girls sublimate their personalities
to attempt unbiased judgment.

tainly can do this as we observed
during the recent elections. There
was a great deal of campaigning
over the radio, and every third
speech was made by the Com-
munist Party, which is recognized
there.

It is generally acknowledged
that religion, especially Roman
Catholicism, can do much to
counteract communism. Venezue-
la is no exception to the rest of
the South American countries
where religion is concerned. Nine-
ty-nine per cent of the Venezue-
lans are Catholics.

However, religion is left mainly
to the women and priests, and as
the mass of the women do not
have much to do with politics
though this is changing religion

sition to communism.

Byzantine Scholar
Speaks in Maclean

"Greek Classics at the Court of
Justinian" will be the subject of a
lecture by Byzantine scholar Glen-
ville Downey on December 1 at
8:00 p.m. in Maclean Auditorium.

Professor Downey received his
A.B. and Ph.D. from Princeton
University. He has been Associate
Professor of Byzantine Literature
at Dumbarton Oaks since 1951.

During the year 1956-57, he was
a Guggenheim Fellow and member
of the Institute of Advanced Study,
and he has been a member of the
Managing Committee of the Am-
erican School of Classical Studies
at Athens since 1956.

For four years he was Editor-in-
Chief of the American Journal of
Archaeology and has published
many articles in learned journals.

Besides the scheduled lecture
here, Professor Downey will speak
December 2 at Emory on the sub-
ject, "Antioch on the Orontes."

munist students or have failed or
passed them depending on whether
or not they were communists.
Many of the student uprisings,
such as the one against the Ameri-
can Vice President Nixon, early
this year, are instigated by the
Communist Party.

However, the communists' pow-
er does not lie with the students
alone. The Reds have a say in
nearly everything that goes on in
the government although they
have not been given any posts in
it since the elections.

For instance, this October they
were represented in the commis-
sion concerning the Agrarian Re-
form, which was of great im-
portance to the country.

Official Democracy

President Romulo Betancourt is
frankly anti-communist, and he
has attacked the Reds as being
inimical to Venezuelan democra-
cy.

All the same, Betancourt and
his colleagues devote more time
to building social and economic
democracy than in developing
anti-Red polemics.

All of the Latin American
countries are trying to find their
own solutions to this problem and
Venezuela has made great head-
way since the ejection of former
dictator Marcos Perez Jimenes
last year.

Local Alumnae Give
Faculty Tea Tuesday

Atlanta alumnae will honor the
Agnes Scott faculty at a tea, Tues-
day, November 24. Serving as host-
ess for the occasion is Mrs. G.
Bonner Spearman of 3855 Club
Drive, N.E. She will be assisted by
Mrs. William Wilkerson, Mrs. Al
Richardson, and Mrs. John Lowry.

"Quality Education" is the theme
of the Atlanta Agnes Scott Alum-
nae Club's programs for 1959-60.
In recognition of the quality edu-
cation offered by the faculty and
in appreciation of their interest in
the club, the alumnae take this
opportunity to express their grati-
tude.

Officials To Gather
At College Meeting

President Wallace Alston and
Dean C. Benton Kline will repre-
sent Agnes Scott at the 64th an-
nual meeting of the Southern As-
sociation of Colleges and Second-
ary Schools which will be held in
Louisville, Kentucky, from Novem-
ber 30 to December 3.

The association is one of four
regional accrediting agencies in the
country for colleges and secondary
schools. It now has 232 senior col-
leges and 114 junior colleges in its
membership. Agnes Scott became
a member in 1907.

In 1895 the association was or-
ganized through a meeting in At-
lanta under the leadership of Van-
derbilt faculty. At this time a
three-fold purpose was stated: (1)
to organize southern schools and
colleges for mutual assistance,
(2) to effect uniformity of en-
trance requirements, and (3) to
develop preparatory schools and
thus eliminate some college work.

The charter members of the as-
sociation were Vanderbilt, Univer-
sity of North Carolina, University
of South Carolina, University of
Mississippi, Washington and Lee
University, and Trinity College
(Duke).

Dr. George Heaton of Charlotte,
North Carolina, and Governor Le-
Roy Collins of Florida will be two
of the main speakers for the con-
ference.

House presidents have the names
of all the girls in the dormitories
listed there. Each member takes
down the announcements here for
house meetings the following
night. Notes on the cases are also
recorded.

.The house president begins
presenting a case. She explains
the offense and describes the
circumstances from the infor-
mation given to her by the girl
involved. When she is through,
other members of Exec occa-
sionally question her. Then the
member proposes the action
which she feels should be taken.
If there is any question con-
cerning the seriousness of the
offense, other proposals may be
made. When there are two or
three suggestions on the floor, a
vote is taken.

Every member of Exec and all
the visitors close their eyes, so
that the decision chosen can be
termed a group action and not an
action of individuals.

Occasionally there is a degree
of levity. Some of the circum-
stances surrounding a case border
on the ludicrous ... it may seem
that all the world contributed to
her getting back at 12 :41.

When a decision is reached in-
volving a penalty, the member
who presented the case passes the
name of the girl on a folded slip
of paper to the Student Recorder.
Anonymity is retained in almost
all circumstances.

When a girl has committed a
serious breach of some policy,
it is often important to discuss
the girl in relation to her case.
When it is necessary to use
names, then Exec has a closed
meeting.
No one is admitted except the
girl involved, if she wishes. Occa-

Formosan Minister
To Speak in Chapel

Dr. Wei-Ping Chen of Formosa
will speak to the campus com-
munity during the chapel period
Friday, November 20.

He will be the guest of Colum-
bia Seminary, November 17-22, and
he has also scheduled speaking en-
gagements at Central Presbyterian
Church and North Avenue Presby-
terian Chinch.

A graduate of Nanking Theo-
logical Seminary in China and
Drew Theological Seminary in this
country, Dr. Chen began his min-
istry as a rural Methodist minister
in the Republic of China.

He served for five years as the
Chinese ambassador to Australia.
Later he went to Taiwan where he
became the pastor of President
and Madame Chiang Kai-Shek. In
Taipei, he was the pastor of the
Mandarin Presbyterian Church.

sionally a girl wishes to present
her own case, or appeal a case in
person. At these times too, Exec
is closed.

Visitors occasionally participate.
At one meeting three sophomores
came to speak for a case involving
improper chaperonage; they
wished to testify that the girl had
made every effort to secure an
approved double date.

Visitors notice occasionally the
permissiveness of some members,
but they observe the balancing
rigidity of others. The body, how-
ever, is a mean between these
extremes, and there is nothing
partisan' about Exec.

Any student should find Exec's
annual invitation worth accepting.
Visiting this group provides some
of the best insights into the Honor
System which can be obtained at
Agnes Scott.

Fijis Throw Beatnik "Rumble"
Betas Stage Fall House Party

By LINDA LENTZ

This was a wonderful week-end for photography at Agnes Scott!
Falling leaves and young men from many different colleges decorated
our campus, and colorful dresses swirled!

Fall Frolics was a big success congratulations to all those who
planned and worked so hard for it!

Per usual, football games lured many out of town.

Biba Conner, Frances Perry, Molly Dotson, Carole Jackson, and
Germaine Calhoun saw Georgia beat Auburn at Athens.

Ann Lee, Janey Sharp, Teresa Carrigan, Mary Jean Kinghorn, Deal
McArthur, and Judy Hawley were also there for a big week-end.

Although the Tech-Alabama game was a disappointment to most of
us, Kit Kallman and Joan Lewis still managed (and it wasn't very
hard!) to have a good time in Birmingham.

Cindy Craig, Suellen Beverly, Mary Ellen Barnes, June Hall, Jo-
anna Russell, Suzanne Crosby, and Judy Brantley were there root-
ing for Tech, too.

Clemson Homecoming attracted Betty Shannon, Angelyn Alford,
Mary Culclasure and Betty Schenck. Nancy Stone ran up to North
Georgia College for a dance week-end. Pat Holmes had a glorious
trip to Princeton!

There was lots of activity at Tech too.

The Beta house was swarming with Scott girls. Caroline Askew,
Jane Hancock, Linda Davis, Lucie Callaway, Ellen Delaney, and Lucy
Maud Davis were among those who attended the fall house party
which was highlighted by the Sweetheart Ball at the Continental
Colony Club.

The best part of the dance was when Dee Conwell was presented
with Tom Irwin's Beta pin.

The Phi Gam Beatnik party, complete with ballads by Golden
Horn Singer, Jim Lee, captured the enthusiasm of many Scotties,
namely Lydia Sudbery, Merle Morrow, Peggy Venable, Linda Jones,
Flossie Gaines, Ruth Shepherd, Lillian Smith and Mary Beth Howell.

Those Emory dental students must be quite a party bunch for they
had another party this week-end which Rosie Clark, Penny Williams
Marlin Day, and Peggy Wells will tell you was terrific.

Kathy Kemp, Pat Conrad, and Cheryl Winegar lived it up at the
Chi Phi house there.

Sally Bergstrom, Leland Draper and Doris Poliakoff were among
the many who entertained their parents, and Mary Louise Hunt's
brother, Woody, was down here from Davidson.

Carolyn Benbow and Judy Heinz took good care of a couple of boys
from U. N. C, and Lindsey Hickam from L. and L. aso found this
locale (or rather Ruth Seagle) right exciting.

Jimmy Stubbs from Ft. Gordon in Augusta presented Martha
Starrett with a bee-yoo-tee-ful diamond, and Sissy Baumgardner
received the Pi K A pin of Peyton Lindley from the U. of G. The
best of luck to both of you.

Thanksgiving vacation is right around the corner, and Norris John-
ston, Jan Heard, and Jean Orr are well aware of it.

These three along with Ellen Middlebrooks, Mike Booth, Ethel Gil-
more, Mary Ellen Barnes, and Sunny Behrman will be walking "all
around the town," (New York, that is) come next week. Pretty good,
eh?

Education Institute Shows
Latest Exchange Statistics

The number of foreign students studying in the United
States has increased 38 per cent in the last five years, the In-
stitute of International Education reported in a survey re-
leased recently.

Most Foreign Students

The 47,245 students from 131
countries registered in U. S. col-
leges and universities this year
represent a 9 per cent increase
over the number last year and an
86 per cent increase over that of
the academic year 1948-49. Ac-
cording to all available statistics
the current figure represents the
largest foreign student popula-
tion in any country of the world.

The post-war period has also
produced a great spurt in the ex-
change of university teachers and
scholars. In five years, the num-
ber of foreign professors teaching
in our schools has tripled.
Foreign Professors

American colleges and universi-
ties reported 1,937 foreign faculty
members this year, in comparison
to 635 in 1954-55. With 1,842
American faculty abroad, this was
the first year on record that we
"imported" more professors than
we "exported."

The sharp increase in both "ex-
port" and "import" faculty figures
reflected the U. S.'s growing con
cern with education in the phy
sical sciences. Nine hundred and
seven, or 47 per cent of the
foreign professors brought to
American schools this year were
in this field.

Americans Abroad

This was double the number of
foreign science professors here
last year. The number of Ameri-
can science professors who went
abroad to teach and do research
was 389, 43 per cent more than
last year.

The rapidly developing Middle
East sent a record number of stu-
dents here this year. This was the
first year that more Middle East-
erners came to study in the U. S.
than Europeans.

The largest number of foreign
students (15,823) continued to
come from the Far East and the

What Makes Bop Corn fop?

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

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

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

Wouldn't you like some popcorn right now?

from Latin America. The Middle
East was third with 6,619 and
Europe fourth with 6,601.

Most Popular Field

Engineering, which claimed 23
per cent of the students, continued
to be the most popular field of
study. The humanities, with 20
per cent, was again second. Far
and Middle Easterners and Latin
Americans, striving for their
countries' industrialization, were
again concentrated in engineering.
The Far and Middle Easterners al-
so accounted for many of the new
students in the physical sciences.

Every state in the union, as well
as Hawaii, the Distinct of Colum-
bia and Puerto Rico, played host
to foreign students. New York had
the largest number of all (13.7
per cent), with New York and
California together accounting
for a quarter of all foreign stu-
dents in this country.

The University of California was
again the institution with the
largest number of foreign students
registered. The Massachusetts In-
stitute of Technology, however,
had the highest student body per-
centage 12 per cent of its total
enrollment. M. I. T. also had more
foreign faculty members (198)
than any other U. S. college or
university.

French Club Plans
Party, Carols, Play

The annual Christmas party for
the French Club will be December
2, at 7:00 in Walters' basement.
All French students are invited.
The program will include Christ-
mas carols and a play directed by
Monsieur Thomas.

Kay Fuller, president of the

bers and French students to use

hall on Thursday evenings from
5:30 to 6:30 to practice what they
have learned in class.

Class Colors Race Down Field
As Juniors, Sophs Gain Points

By NANCIE BARR

Cloudy skies overshadowed the second week of the hockey
season. Despite signs of rain all four teams were in top form
for their games.

week. Their playing was more or-
ganized and controlled in this,
their second game.

Goalee Anna Belle Freeman
blocked several junior attempts at
scoring. Kay Younger and Sarah
Cumming led the defense which
kept their opponents down to
three goals.

Juniors Win

The junior yellow managed to
defend their championship for the
second week in a row.

Their first two goals were
slammed in by Betsy Dalton and
the third went to the screen off
Trisha Walker's stick. Fullbacks
Nancy Hall and Mary Park Cross
kept their goal clear of any seri-
ous threats of scoring.

Next Week's Game

Next week should bring great
excitement and top notch playing
when the defending champions
meet the undefeated sophomores.
Both teams have ability and ex-
perience behind them. It should
prove to be the mos,t exciting
game of the season.

The juniors, who have lost only
one player since their freshman
year, have the advantage of ex-
perience. However, the sophs may
be able to display superior en-
durance.

Whatever the outcome, the
game should show some very fine
hockey. All four teams would
appreciate class support.

Play was fast and competition
stiff as the seniors battled the
sophs and the freshmen grey met
the junior yellow.

The sopho-
mores gave a
demonstration of
skill that could
not be matched
by the senior
team. Their stick
work and en-
durance were a
great asset in
defeating the senior team 3-0.

The first goal was slammed to
the cage by Carolyn Askew.
Joyce McQuilkin was credited
with the remaining two goals in
a demonstration of excellent
hockey.

The senior blues were not easi-
ly defeated, but played hard
against the onslaught from their
sister class. Boo Florance and
Barbara Specht fought continu-
ously (and futilely) to drive the
ball to the opposing goal. Possible
additional sophomore goals were
prevented by the senior defense.

Freshmen vs. Juniors

The second game was not a
second place in skill and excite-
ment. The freshmen played hard
and well against the seasoned
junior eleven. Despite much op-
position, the junior team came out
on top 3-0.

The first-year girls showed
much improvement over last

'Camus Girls' Unite,
Form Study Group

The works of Algerian novelist
Albert Camus, 1957 Nobel Prize
winner, have become the center of
attention for two study groups on
campus.

One group, led by Miss Mary
Virginia Allen, works in English,
while the other, led by Miss Fran-
ces Clark, will read in the origi-
nal French.

These study groups owe their
existence to the French Club of-
ficers, who, sensing the campus
interest in Camus and hoping to
prepare a number of students for
the March visit of Camus critic
Germaine Bree, conceived of or-
ganizing a small group to study
and discuss his works.

The English group began their
discussion of The Stranger yes-
terday.

The French Group will begin
meeting next quarter.

The program will also include
Bach's "Gloria in excelsis Deo"
and an American carol by Joseph
Clokey, "No Lullaby Need Mary

efforts to increase scholastic com-
petence.

The purpose of the session is
to provide an opportunity for ex-
tensive study of ways to raise the
level of excellence in various as-
pects of the college community.
These include counseling, curric-
ulum, evaluation, and religion and
values in relation to educational
objectives.

Each of the colleges participat-
ing will present an outline of its
specific educational problems.

The Workshop Program tries to
solve the problems in the seminars
led by eight distinguished educa-

tors. Prominent guest speakers
will address the ^general sessions,
and a library of some 300 vol-
umes pertaining to educational
needs will be made available.

Through the informal exchange
of ideas among representatives of
colleges, the teachers can find
suggestions for strengthening
their college programs. These sug-
gestions will be submitted in a
report on the final day of the
session.

The Director of the Workshop
will visit the Agnes Scott campus
in the spring of 1961 to see the
value of the workshop program in
action.

Never -Never Land

Once there was an ostrich, who, like other ostriches liked
to bury her head in the sand. Time came for this little os-
trich to go off to college.

This one, never having ventured beyond
the Land of Ostriches, applied to a nearby
college that was set up to teach young fe-
male ostriches how not to hide their heads
in the sand.

When this little ostrich arrived, she met a
colony of young ostriches, a very friendly
group. As the years wore on, they spent their
time running around in circles, making up
songs to praise the Institution or thinking
up arguments in defense of their Way of Life. But whenever
the Great Issues came near, the colony after being radical
for ten minutes, immediately stuck their heads back under
the sand. "Appearances" was the watchword.

Occasionally some members of the colony ventured be-
yond the Land of Ostriches and mixed with students who
had seen ostriches only at zoos. These adventurers always
returned a little changed, and went around challenging their
fellow ostriches to reform, to look things square in the eye.

A few were influenced, but the majority stuck their heads
farther under the sand, or gathered together to make up more
songs.

So the story ends, showing the little ostrich, clutching a
diploma, venturing into the wide, wide world, hopefully
humming a song. C.F.

Dean's Staff Plans
Annual Exam Teas

By SUE MUSTOE

Haggard faces and furrowed
brows are transformed into smiles
of relief and relaxation. Goodies
and relaxing chatter ease the wor-
ry and strain of exams. These mir-
aculous accomplishments are at-
tributed to the traditional Exam
Teas which highlight every exam
week at Agnes Scott.

Quantities of cookies and hot
coffee disappear as nerves unravel
and students get acquainted with
the faculty wives. The daily teas
offer an opportunity for Scotties
to catch their breath and release
the tension of "exam-itis."

The Christmas Exam Teas will
be particularly cheery affairs.
Plans include plenty of Christ-
mas decorations, piano music by
various students . . . and goodies!
The teas will last from 3:30 to
5:00 each afternoon of exam week
in the Hub.

Molly Merrick and Ann Rivers
Payne, members of the Dean's

'Feminine Epitome 1
To Sing Beethoven?

Dear Maria Mozart:

Longfellow said, "God sent His
singers upon the earth, with songs
of gladness and of mirth, that
they might touch the hearts of
men and bring them back to
Heaven again"; so PLEASE don't
ask "the epitome of Atlanta's
feminine charm and dignity" to
stop singing!

Why not ask them to sing some-
thing on a higher plane? They
can sing works of Bach, Beethov-
en, Brahms, Mozart, et. al. I've
heard them do it.

Most sincerely,

Statistics Say...

(Editor's note: This week "We Think" shows the results of the Low-
er House-A. S. Neivs poll concerning Christianity on campus conducted
by Ann Williams, Joyce Seay, Mary Beth Elkins, and Dottie Burns.)

Agnes Scott students seem keenly interested in learning
of different religions, according to the recent campus poll
conducted by Lower House and the Agnes Scott News.

The majority of those replying 43% of the student body
indicated a desire to participate in forums and discussions
of the various religions.

Other interesting facts and opinions were disclosed in the
students' replies to the basic questions:

1) Do you believe in God?

2) Do you consider yourself a Christian?

3) Did the fact that A. S. C. is a Chris-
tian college influence your decision
to come here?

4) Do you feel that Christianity is forced
on you here?

Although most of these students do attend Sunday morn-
ing church services, only about half (127 out of 266) are
present at the youth fellowship or Sunday evening programs.
Also 68% attend one chuurch regularly, while 42% do not.

The following suggestions were offered by the minority
of students who felt that we lack interest in church activities:
good publicity, improved chapel programs, discussions "that
challenge our faith" and "stimulate our thinking," personal
invitations from the churches, closer contact with the min-
isters, shorter evening functions, occasional "on-campus"
services, "no papers or tests on Mondays," and "no Saturday
classes!"

Eisenhower's 11-Nation Tour
To Begin Tomorrow Evening

By HELEN EVERETT

On Thursday evening, December 3, President Dwight David
Eisenhower will leave the United States for an historic tour
of eleven countries on three continents.

The President's good will jour-

ney is a part of the new global
game of personal
diplomacy. In
fact, this will be
the first trip of
its kind ever
undertaken by a
President of the
United States.

President Ei-
senhower will
first visit with Italy's Premier
Antonio Segni, and while in Italy,
the President will also talk with
Pope John XXm. From Italy the
route will take the President to
Turkey, Pakistan, and Soviet-in-
fluenced Afghanistan.

New Delhi Next

New Delhi is the next stop on
this eleven nation tour. For five
days the President will confer
with Premier Nehru and his ad-
visors. Before leaving India, Presi-
dent Eisenhower will open the
United States exhibit at the
World Agricultural Fair being
held in that country.

The President's trip to India
will serve a specific and timely
diplomatic purpose since it comes
at a critical time in India's rela-
tions with her neighbor, Red
China. Eisenhower's visit will per-
haps serve to dramatize the
United States' support for India's
fight to preserve her freedom.
Conferences

After talks with Nehru, Eisen-
hower will confer with the Shah
of Iran and Morocco's King Mo-
hammed V. Recently included on
the tour are meetings with Tuni-
sia's President Bourguiba and
Spain's Generalissimo Franco.

On December 19, President
Eisenhower will reach Paris for
the all-important Western Sum-
mit conference. The significance
of this, nineteen-day, nineteen

thousand five hundred-mile tour
will be that the chief executive
of the United States, as repre-
sentative of a large part of the
free world, will be carrying with
him to that meeting a live knowl-
edge and appreciation of~ the
varied policies of the free world.

Steering Committee

The steering committee for Ag-
nes Scott's financial campaign met
November 19. Plans for the cam-
paign were outlined.

one in greater Atlanta will begin.

Out of town members of the
steering committee are as follows:

Atlanta Students, Cousins,
Share Spirit of Christmas

By FRANCES JOHNS

"Oh, I just knew you'd come today," cried an excited little
girl. This greeting was one that an Agnes Scott student re-
ceived a few weeks ago from her Atlanta "cousin."

Through the program of Ser
passion (service with compassion)
this student aad this child were
united last Christmas as "cousins."
Now a year later this student along
with another Scott student and a
Tech student have shared heart-
warming experiences with this
little girl, her eight brothers and
sisters, and her mother, father,
and grandfather .

Twelve people living together in
two rooms is what these students
found last Christmas right here
in Atlanta. Today the living con-
ditions of this family are much
the same, but they have found
friends through Serpassion who
are trying to help in any way
they can.

The nine children, ages one
to twelve, now have someone
who really cares about them.
The grown-ups in the family
call them "home folks" now
whenever these students go to
visit.

At least once a month they vis-
it, sometimes taking clothes, but
most important, taking them-
selves, their time, their interest,
their love and understanding.
Usually their visit includes an ex-
cursion somewhere in Atlanta.

For example, they have pic-
nicked in Grant Park, journeyed
to the Fair and a hockey game at
Agnes Scott, and celebrated a
birthday with supper at The Seven
Steers. Most recently the event
that the students feel the best
about was a "family night" at
home.

They took popcorn to pop, and
the Tech student showed slides
of his trip this summer. By the

end of the evening fellowship
had increased in spirit and in
number; almost the whole
neighborhood had gathered
around.

By visiting a child from a pov-
erty-stricken area once a month
students from Agnes Scott, Geor-
gia Tech, Emory, Georgia State,
Georgia Baptist Nursing School,
Crawford Long Nursing School,
and Grady Hospital Nursing
School have become "cousins."
Serpassion, which was orga-
nized for the first time in At-
lanta last Christmas by students
themselves, is now run on a
city-wide basis. The Serpassion
Council which is composed of
representatives from each camp-
us assigns cousins, and ar-
ranges special events and trans-
portation.

Each campus also has its own
campus chairman.

A somewhat similar program is
found at Wake Forest and High
Point Colleges in North Carolina,
and schools in Florida, Tennessee,
and Virginia have expressed an
interest in starting Serpassion on
their campuses. However, Atlanta
has been the real starting point
for this program on a city-wide,
year-round basis.

What has Serpassion meant?
One student has said, "Sudden-
ly, someone needed me! I was
almost forgetting that I was
worth something to someone.
I've found out a lot about the
conditions right here at home
that I did not dream existed.
My little cousin actually loves
me."

In a letter to a student, a little
girl has said, "I am sad because
ycu are not here ... I hope you
come soon . . . Everyday I tell my
teacher you were sweet ... I
cried when you left that night.
Love to the end."

What is Serpassion going to
mean? There are still many little
boys and girls, ages six to six-
teen, in Atlanta who are missing
the relationship with a "cousin."
Many who had "cousins" have
lost them, and there are many who
want them and do not have them.
There are many for whom Christ-
mas this year will have a special
meaning because they have a
"cousin" with whom to share the
real Christmas spirit.

Stone Sparks Class of '61
To Hockey Championship

By BETTY KNEALE

The sunny skies and perfect temperature of the last Friday
of hockey seemed reminiscent of last year's season of ideal
weather.

The first half of the game be- game, the skill of the players, and

tween the seniors and freshmen
began with a series of uneventful
drives up and down the field by
both teams. In general the first
half was slow.

However during the last pajt
of the first half, Lyn Cole de-
livered the ball to Beth Barnett
by means of a powerful drive, and
in an exciting finish Beth made a
goal. The half closed with this
score.

No Score For Seniors

The second half of the game
showed more skill on the part of
both teams. The senior forward
line, led by Sylvia Saxon, was de-
termined to remedy the score.
Despite the constant senior threat
against, the door of the goal, the
senior team could not score.

The reason for this failure was
due to the exceptional freshman
goalkeeper, Annabelle Freeman.
As a result, the game ended 1-0 in
favor of the freshmen.

This game broke the tie for
third place; the inexperienced
freshmen won the coveted posi-
tion from last year's second place
team, the seniors.

Sophomore-Junior Battle

The sophomore-junior game was
the most exciting one the campus
has seen in a long time. This was
due to the keen competition be-
tween the two classes, the im-
portance of the outcome of this

the spectators' enthusiasm.

In the first few .minutes of the
first half Alice Cochrane scored
a goal. After this one valid at-
tack by the juniors, the sopho-
more team kept the ball the ma-
jority of the time at the junior
end of the field, making many
goal attempts. However, the ex-
perience of the junior backfield
and the truly spectacular playing
of goalee Nancy Stone foiled all
attempts.

The second half was character-
ized by many thrilling sophomore
attacks and even more thrilling
defensive play by Stone. During
one especially hard drive that
seemed to be a sure goal, Stone
made an unbelievable save by
throwing her body between the
cage and the ball.

The game ended with the score
1-0, as the freshman-senior game
had ended fifteen minutes before
The juniors maintained the

One of the joys of the season
was the high spirit and good play-
ing of an untried freshman team
that managed to threaten the
other classes with good team play
and a union seldom seen in fresh-
man teams.

The spirit of the spectators is
never to be taken lightly. It has
figured prominently in the good
showing of the sophomores, fresh-
men and juniors and the poor
showing of the seniors. So the
moral of the story undoubtedly
is if you want to win, be there!

It has been rather discouraging
to miss the faces of some of the
people who rant on and on about
the spirit of the campus at the
games.

There have been many out-
standing players this year. It
seems impossible that Betsy
Dalton can get better and bet-
ter with each game. Nancy

Stone and Annabelle Freeman
of the juniors and freshmen, re-
spectively, were excellent goalies
this year, one of the few years
that we have been blessed to
have two such fine goalies at
the same time.
Stone allowed only one goal in
the three games, quite a fine rec-
ord.

Other outstanding players need
to be mentioned: Florance, Muse,
Leroy, of the seniors; Dalton,
Stone, Cochrane, Henry, Barr of
the championship junior team;
Askew, Schow, Mitchell, of the
sophomores; and Freeman and
Jones, of the freshmen.

Mitchell perhaps is the best
defensive-offensive fullback In
the school; several times she
intercepted the ball, drove it
down field to the opposing goal
and even managed to score on
occasions.

Campbell Hall, at 2, 4, and 7:30.
The film is sponsored jointly by
Pi Alpha Phi and Blackfriars.

"The Orestia" is the only com-
plete trilogy from ancient Greek
times which survives today. It was

val.

Graces, Grooming Revive
In Social Emphasis Week

By LYNNE LAMBERT

In an all-out effort to bring Scotties into a full realization of the proper social graces,
Social Council is currently sponsoring a "Social Emphasis Week," a new venture in ASC
history, undertaken to comply with the many requests made by students for just such an
event.

As one Scottie said, "We have
every other kind of emphasis week
around here, why not a social
one?"

Today Social Emphasis week
reached its peak in convocation
when Mr. Allison Williams, pastor
of the Trinity Presbyterian Church
in Atlanta, gave a talk on Human
Relations.

This afternoon in Main's end
date parlor there is a display of
calling cards, invitations, and
stationery sponsored by J. P.
Stevens Engraving Company.
Thursday Chapel
Thursday morning in chapel,
Mrs. Robinson, the bridal con-
sultant from Rich's, will talk on
the selection of china, crystal, and
silver .This talk will be followed
up by a display of formal and in-
formal table settings in Main's
end date parlor.

The Hub will be the setting for
the final event of the week on
Thursday night at seven.

How To Entertain
Agnes Scott alumnae from the
past five years, among whom are
Ginny Hutchinson, Mary Evans
Millhouse (a married senior), and
Ann Dodd Campbell (last year's
social council president), will dis-
cuss the best ways to entertain
formally and informally from a
married and a single viewpoint.

PEP (Posture emphasizes Per-
sonality) day on Monday started
the ball rolling with anonymous
'Posture Sneaks' awarding PEP
tags to those girls displaying the
best posture.

Tuesday was "Good Grooming
Day." In chapel Dean C. Benton
Kline, Dr. Timothy Miller, Dr.
Kwai Sing Chang, and Dr. Walter
B. Posey expressed their valued
views on the Agnes Scott girl.

In the afternoon, a "Glamour
Shape" clinic, under the direction
of Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, criticiz-
ed girls' figures and gave sugges-
tions for improvement. In Main's
end date parlor there was a dis-

Atlanta Journalist

combinations for each girl.

The final note to "Good
Grooming Day" was a fashion
show in the dining hall from 5:45-
6:15 p.m., which displayed outfits
from Davison's and the Casual
Corner, modeled by members of
Social Council.

However, the best- dressed young
lady on campus appears in the
form of a manaquin in the dining
hall who is adorned with a new
outfit everyday. Also to be found
around campus are true to life
pictures of bad habits which
should be broken if one wants to
emerge as the socially ideal Scott
girl.

Final Touch

For a final touch to their efforts
of this week social council has
compiled "Campus Code" books
containing rules of etiquette which
have been placed in each student's
mailbox.

last Wednesday.

Dr. Albert stressed the signifi-
cance of the woman in her role as
wife and mother as opposed to
the trend of the career woman.

Look Now, Leap Later

Happy Leap Year! And good luck.

For all those who have yet to get that man (only 56% of
the seniors), there remain 11 months in which, if he won't
ask, she can.

But speaking from a senior's point of view,
a confirmed spinster senior's that is, this is
a Bad Year ahead, especially when looking at
the number of seniors who fell by the way-
side over Christmas sixteen in all. And
now the weak may succumb to The Big
Chance.

A few hints, then, for those who wish to
remain single and avoid dishpan hands:

Beware of Valentines. Be strong, say no.

Don't let the stress of Winter Quarter weaken your re
solve. Stick to your guns.

Dogwood Time is deceiving. Never let a romantic, moonlit
spring night bring forth more than an aesthetic enjoyment
of the scene. Use all your feminine wiles to avoid The Sub-
ject. Use the information you learned in astronomy to keep
the conversation on a platonic level.

Whenever the conversation in the date parlor drags, bring
out your knitting ,discuss the Kat Klinic which you and your
roommate plan to set up after Graduation and Seeing the
World.

Don't forget the well-timed giggle. That will always fix 'em.

Be hateful. Remind Tech men of their reputation as boors,
Emory fellows, of their tea sipping.

Above all, think of The Group. You can't let the Others
down. And remember the motto: "Freedom, heyday, freedom."
(Who said that?) C.F.

OH**,?

We Think

Why Gripe

Hardly a day goes by that we do not have a comment to
make on our lives here. Yesterday, I heard several, ranging
from "That was an excellent chapel program I wish we'd
have more like it!" to "But I hate jello with cole slaw in it!"

There were others too a complaint that the Hub was
closed to the campus and dates during the recent debate, a
wish for more invitational meets on campus, and a sugges-
tion that the library be opened on Sunday afternoons.

A large majority of the hundred or more such daily com-
ments are trivial. But others could become good, constructive
suggestions.

One of student government's chief purposes is to make our
lives here as harmonious as possible. A standing rules com-
mittee composed of Exec members meets regularly to dis-
cuss, evaluate and, if necessary, change the social rules we
live by.

An Exec member also meets regularly with Mrs Byers, Mrs.
Hatfield, Mrs. Smith, Miss Scandrett, Mr. Kline, and Dr.
Alston.

Lower House has as one of its primary objectives, the pro-
motion of dormitory harmony. However, neither of these
organizations can do anything with your suggestions UNLESS
THEY ARE HEARD.

Twice a quarter, open forums are held to hear student
opinions. Hall meetings take the place of dormitory house
meetings specifically to exchange information. Your sugges-
tions, in turn, are channeled to Exec and Rep Council.

Mutual respect for ideas among students, faculty, and staff
is a basic factor in making our lives pleasant here. Take ad-
vantage of the opportunities open to you and if you have a
suggestion for improvement speak up! D.B.

Exec Will Consider
Apartment Rulings

In response to the many ques-
tions which have been asked re-
cently regarding the apartment
policy, I would like to inform the
campus that the subject has been
discussed by the Rules Committee
of Exec.

The findings of the Rules Com-

further consideration by Student

Nationally Speaking

Democrats Continue Divided,
Republicans Unite for Nixon

By MARCI TOBEY

Less than two weeks of the new year have passed and al-
ready the eyes of the world are focused on the preparations
that Americans are making for their big decision of Novem-
ber 8.

"Democratically" speaking, the
selection of a presidential candi-
date which will
be made at the
Los Angeles con-
vention beginning
July 11, should
be difficult as
well as signifi-
cant to the unity
of the party.

Both Senator
John Kennedy of Massachusetts
and Senator Hubert Humphrey of
Minnesota have officially thrown
their hats into the political ring.

Roman Catholic Kennedy, the
youngest of all the prospectives at
42, is presently the acknowledged
forerunner of the race, but Hum-
phrey's claim to be "the candi-
date of the plain people" has not.
gone unheralded. As we heard it
in Washington:

'59 Alumna, Trustee
Die During Holiday

Two deaths during the Christ-
mas season, one a recent gradu-
ate, the other a trustee, saddened
the Agnes Scott College commu-
nity.

Elizabeth Roberts Pancake, a
member of the class of 1959, was
killed in an automobile accident,
December 18. The daughter of a
prominent physician of Elkins,
West Virginia, Betsy served as edi-
tor-in-chief of The Silhouette last
year. An English major, she also
was a member of Representative
Council and an active participant
in Blackfriars.

She was married last summer to
Joseph Samuel Pancake II and
was living in Romney. West Vir-
ginia at the time of the accident.
Surviving besides her husband are
her parents, two brothers,

Humphrey Dumphrey had a great
brawl,

All the King Ranch horses,
And all Khrushchev's men,
Cannot stop Humphrey from
speaking again."

The three unannounced candi-
dates which the Democrats must
also consider are Texas' Lyndon
Johnson, senate majority leader
since 1953; Stuart Symington,
senator from Missouri, and Adlai
Stevenson who needs no introduc-
tion.

At the Republican convention,
which wil be held in Chicago, July
25, the inevitable choice for the
presidential nomination wil be 47-
year-old Vice-President Richard
M. Nixon. He lacks a possible
contender since Governor Rocke-
feller's early withdrawal which
was reported by M. Goose in these
words :

"Little Nelson Rock
The man from New Yack,
Seemed to be here to stay;
When along came old Nix,
And said, This is some fix/
And frightened N. Rock away!"

Although delegates to the con-
ventions will not meet for another
six months, and the election is not
until the end of the year, cam-
paign slogans are being formu-
lated and critical issues brought
to the attention of the American
public.

Almost anything can happen be-
tween now and November . The
influence of a domestic or foreign
crisis which might arise in the
course of the year should not be
underestimated.

Finally, for added spice, the '
comments of all important politi-
cal celebrities should riot be
missed, as for example the one
picked up by George Dixon, col-
umnist for a Washington news-
paper.

Life Abroad Draws
Language Students

By LINDA LENTZ

Undecided about your summer?
Anxious to perfect your French,
German or Spanish?

Consider spending Summer 1960
with Classrooms Abroad an ex-
perience which previous partici-
pants claim is more exciting and
valuable than any they have ever
had before!

Classrooms Abroad is a rela-
tively new program founded in
the fall of 1955. It has grown from
11 students in that first summer
to 63 in 1959, and a great many
applicants are expected for this
year. i

Twenty-five students are to be
accepted for summers in each of
five cities: Besancon and Greno-
ble in France; Berlin, Germany;
Vienna, Austria; and Santander,
Spain.

The program operates under the
principle that the ability to speak
and understand, as well as read
and write a foreign language is
the most effective key to the cul-
ture and civilization of a country.

Far better than a swift, super-
ficial tour of a country is an ex-
tended stay with a family in a
characteristic city a city which
offers a large variety of cultural
experiences.

Everday Life
Everyday life for the student en-
rolled in Classrooms Abroad dif-
fers somewhat in each of the five
c ; ties. All are expected to learn
(this is not primarily a pleasure
trip) ; intensive study classes in
the language and lofe of a coun-
try at summer sessions of a host
university are the first consider-
ation.

The participant literally be-
comes one of the family with
whom he stays and enjoys typical
social activities of the country,
mingling with his native con-
temporaries.

Theater and concert tickets are
provided for at least two evenings
a week. Week-end side trips, such
as the Salzburg Music Festival for
students in Vienna, are included.

After the eight-week stay in a
city, the student may take an op-
tional two-week tour at an addi-
tional cost, or make other arrange-
ments if he so desires. He then
returns home with a new appre-
ciation of another nation, a fluent
use of their language, and prob-
ably a deep desire to return.

The approximate cost of the
eight-week program would be
$1150. For further information

Summer Work Programs Offer
Fellowship, Travel Opportunity

By NANCY BARRETT

Work, study, fellowship and an opportunity to travel
these are only a few of the many wonderful advantages in-
volved in a summer work camp program! The work takes
place not only in camps but in mental hospitals, community
centers, and industrial projects.

Ecumenical work camps, usual- applicant for an Ecumenical Work
ly of four weeks duration, are C amp upon his or her agreement
held during July and August in to the fo i lowing presuppositions:
Africa, Asia, Latin America, Mid- H e is able and willing to work;

die East, Europe and here in the
United States.

A special project includes a
United States-Russia exchange of
approximately forty days in Rus-
sia, planned in cooperation with
tht Council on Student Travel.

Emphasis centers on prolonged
visits; a possible work project
with tourism is considered secon-
dary.

Because life is whole and at its
very heart, life is Christian, Ecu-
menical Voluntary Service Proj-
ects are designed for people who
share this conviction. Each project
puts this conviction to the test of
action.

Eight U. S. Projects

Approximately eight projects
are held in the United States and
her territories in which nearly 100
Americans and other nationals
participate. Each year more than
30 projects are held around the
world in which more than 1,000
young people from across the
earth share.

Year-Round Service

There is also a limited number
of opportunities for service year-
round (minimum two months) in
refugee programs primarily in
Europe.

Work involved includes con.
struction of churches, work in pub-
lic housing areas, processing of
clothing in church world service
centers, institutional service with
participants employed as aides in
mental hospitals and work in a
large settlement house.

Expenses include room, board,
insurance, orientation sessions,
and travel to and from the site of
the work project. The participant
makes his own travel plans and
pays for all such independent
travel and incidental expenses as
occur.

Qualifications

Twenty-Two Students Receive
Rings During Recent Holiday m

By JACKIE DAY

With this beginning New Year, we find the campus glowing with
diamond sparklers and jeweled fraternity pins as well as glowing with
faces expressing that happy mood that only spring usually brings.

Best wishes to all our happy fiancees. We might say, "Here come
the brides!" Carolyn Mason wears the lush diamond of Press Nowlin
who is now in the Navy and who will return to Davidson College next
fall to complete his studies. The big day is tentatively set for Sep-
tember 9.

Jim Smythe, Tech grad, can be proud of his conquest, Boo Florance,
as she wears his sparkler. Jim works for Proctor and Gamble in Cin-
cinnati, and the wedding will be next fall.

Betty Lewis glows as she displays her ring from Richard Higgin-
botham, S. A. E. senior at Tech. June 6 will be their eventful day.

On July 9 wedding bells will ring for Gail Carter and Air Force
First Lieutenant Leon Nedbalek, of Vance Air Force Base in Enid,
Oklahoma. Marci Tobey keeps the military in her life with her com-
ing marriage on June 24, at 5:30 at the Fort Myers chapel, where

Free-lance Travellers Can See
Europe Leisurely, Economically

By LILL HART

(During the summer of 195$. three Scotties, Lill Hart, Jane Norman,
and Marci Tobey visited Kay Fuller and her family in Ramstein, Ger-
many. The four girls toured Europe on their own. The Agnes Scott
News asked Lill Hart to impart tips on "free-lance" travel from her
oivn experience.)

Free-lance traveling in Europe in a small group is fun.
Believe it or not, there can also be advantages in this kind of
traveling that is if there is a lot of fore-thought put into
the travel plans.

But, that is the catch. What
sort of planning should you do?

First, read about the countries
and pick out the cities which are
to be visited. Know why you are
visiting them. Watch for articles
on travel in Europe.

The final step is to organize
your trip. Do not just dart around
haphazardly or you will find that
you have missed seeing all that
you could have seen.

Advantages

One of the best advantages in
traveling this way is that you can
regulate the time spent in coun-
tries, cities, and buildings to your
liking.

You can see what you want to
see and for as long as you want
to see it. If you want to spend
two days exploring the Louvre in
Paris, then you are at liberty to
do so. There is no one to herd you
through and onto a bus, whizzing
to the next stop.

The same is true when visiting
countries. If you prefer Bavaria
to northern Germany, then you
can stay in Bavaria as long as the
pocketbook allows.

Then again, if you wish to see a
city or a country hurriedly, there
are always tours originating in
cities with most of the guides
speaking English.

Or, if you want to wander
around a city trying your hand at
your newly acquired language,

now is your chance.

However, after repeating your
carefully selected phrase a dozen
times, do not be surprised if the
native asks in polite English,
"What is it that you want to
know?" They want to show their
skill, too!

Economy

Lastly, if you are careful, you
can save money. Budget yourself
as to how much you will spend in
one country. Remember you can
borrow from these alloted
amounts, but be careful or you
will slight a country. Also accom-
odations do not have to be first
class by any means, nor do you
have to eat in the most famous
eating places.

Do as so many of the Europeans
do take a picnic along when
you make day drives. This elimi-
nates buying food and a lot of
stops. It can be a lot of fun and
very interesting.

Teachers, Civil Servants,
Locate Many Jobs Abroad

By ELLEN MIDDLEBROOKS

A job abroad! This is the dream of practically every college
graduate.

While most dismiss it as a fan-
tastic ?.dea, there are, in reality,
many positions open to the girl
in search of a job with excitement
plus.

Teaching provides innumerable
opportunities through the Army
Dependent Schools and the Teach-
er's Exchange Program.

The requirements for such a po-
sition include United States citi-
zenship, 18 semester hours credit
in education courses, two years of
teaching experience, medical proof
of physical ability and an age of
at least 23 years.

A wide geographical area is in-
cluded in these programs; for
those desiring to travel immedi-
ately upon graduation, the ex-
perience requirement has been re-
moved in Alaska. The basic salary
offered is $4,525 for 12 months of
actual teaching.

Civil Service Jobs

The second greatest area of op-
portunity is found in Civil Service,
a function of the United States
Government. Here the stenograph-

ic and secretarial routes are the
surest approach to employment.

The employing agencies in this
program are the Central Intelli-
gence Agency, the Departments of
the Army, Navy, and Air Force, the
State Department, Department of
Agriculture, the United States
Information Agency and the
American Red Cross.

Each of these agencies requires
a six to twelve months orientation
period prior to work abroad dur-
ing which the applicant must
prove his or her ability.

There are also recreational and
nursing positions offered by the
Departments of the Army, Navy,
and Air Force.

Church Work Abroad

The churches provide positions
abroad including those of social
worker, teacher, laboratory tech-
nician, and physical and occupa-
tional therapist.

Other agencies employing peo-
ple for work abroad are various
industrial companies, the airlines
and travel agencies.

British Universities
Offer Summer Plan

By LISA AMBROSE

Like to study in Britain during
the summer, with time left over
for travel?

Four British summer schools
are offering programs for gradu-
ate students, teachers, and under-
graduate students in their last two
years of college.

The schools will last for six
weeks and have some funds to
provide scholarships for American
students.

The four universities concerned
are at Oxford, Stratford-upon-
Avon, London, and Edinburgh;
each offering courses which may
most appropriately be studied at
these places.

Courses of Study

Shakespeare and Elizabethan
Drama will be offered at Strat-
ford-upon-Avon; the course at
London will center upon the seven-
teenth and eighteenth centuries,
while Oxford will deal particular-
ly with English history, literature,
and the arts from 1870 to the
present.

In Edinburgh, the four Scottish
Universities will jointly present a
program including the political
and economic history, philosophy
and literature of Britain from 1559
to 1789.

People and Places

Other opportunities offered by
the program include living with
fellow students of similar inter-
ests from many countries, getting
to know the British people through
an arrangement with British stu-
dent-hosts, and visiting places of
interest as a part of the course.
Plans for travel before or after
the summer school session, may be
arranged through the Student
Travel Service.

Those interested in this program
can see Dean Kline for informa-
tion. The deadline for applications
is March 1 for those interested in
scholarships, March 31 for others.

Inter-Dorm Play Sparks
Years Basketball Season

By SYLVIA SAXON

The year 1960 will witness a number 6f new events on the
Agnes Scott campus. Tops on the agenda is the fund raising
campaign, of course, but the sports scene will also witness a
few alterations.

Since the beginning of the 1959-
60 year Athletic Association has
sought how best
to serve the
campus as a
whole, rather
than cater to a
few athletically-
inclined individu-
als.

This project
has presented
many problems but I think at last
a very workable plan has been
conceived. Thus it is that the
basketball season has been so
worked out as to serve the campus
as well as the truly talented in-
dividual.

Class and Dorm Competition

The plan is simple: the first
three weeks of the basketball sea-
son will be, devoted to dormitory
competition while class competi-
tion will occupy the final three
weeks of^he season. A. A. basket-
ball manager Jane Norman de-
serves a lot of credit for working
out the scheme.

The big dorms, Inman, Rebekah,
Main, and Walters each have a
team, while all the cottages com-
prise one team together; and the
day students and Hopkins have
banded together to form one team.
The cottages with Dalton, Peagler,
High ,and practically the entire
junior class team seem to have
the best chance of copping the
tourney championship. Walters
with the sophomore class team
and a few from the senior team
will also be at an advantage, since
both have had playing experience.

Frosh Potential

However, several of the frosh
dorms have displayed good guard-
ing and accurate shooting during
the practice sessions. The entire
program should offer a lot of fun
for all and an opportunity to play.

There have been some criticisms
of the scheme, mainly from play-
ers on- the class teams. I think
these result from individual self-
ishness, rather than any fault in
the plan. Of course the plan can-
not be considered faultless, and

some kinks will have to be worked
cut with time, but I think every-
one owes it to the campus to at
least give it a try. After all, it is
for us.

There are good points in both
the dorm competition and the
class competition, and at last it
appears that both can be offered
equally to the community. I hope
that we all can recognize the good
points and take advantage of the
program.

Badminton Tourney
To Begin January 21

The badminton tournaments are
almost here. The singles series
will begin on January 21 and the
doubles contest on January 28.

Sarah Kelso, A. A. Badminton
Manager, has named as her class
managers: Peyton Baber, Carol
Goodwin, and Linda Kerley. The
freshman manager will be an-
nounced later :n the season.

The badminton club will meet
on January 14 to elect its presi-
dent. The purpose of the club is
to stimulate interest in badmin-
ton.

It also gives those who enjoy tha
activity an opportunity to play
with fellow enthusiasts.

Badminton is a sport for every-
one, and everyone is eligible and
welcome to participate.

The deadline for signing up for
the tournament is January 16.
Lists are in the mail room and the

gym.

C.A. To Emphasize
Personal Devotions

"Any religious experience takes
emotional and spiritual prepara-
tion." In order to prepare for such
an experience, Christian Associa-
i tion is sponsoring Personal Devo-
tions Week, January 18-22, under
the direction of Kay Gwaltney.

The theme is "A Window to Be
Opened." This period is designed
to stress the habit of personal de-
votions and is a preparation for
Religious Emphasis Week a time
in which the individual looks at
his spiritual life and endeavors
to make it more meaningful.

A number of activities have
been planned in conjunction with
the week. Chapel on Tuesday fea-
tured a talk by Mr. Doerpinhaus.
Tomorrow Dr. Alston will speak
on the theme, "A Window to Be
Opened."

Vespers led by Dean Kline, Mr.
Westervelt, and Mrs. Lapp have
been planned to center the indi-
vidual's thoughts on such a sub-
ject.

Devotional books and relevant
material are included in a display
in the library.

Medievalist Lopez
Will Visit Campus

Robert Sabatino Lopez, young
Yale historian, will be visiting the
Agnes Scott campus January 25,
as a University Center Visiting
Lecturer.

He will lecture Monday at 4:45
in Maclean on "Medieval Change
vs. Modern Progress."

Dr. Koenraad Swart, of the his-
tory department, reports that
Lopez is . . one of the most
promising young experts in medi-
eval economic history."

The lecturer, born and educated
in Genoa, Italy, holds degrees from
the University of Milan and the
University of Wisconsin.

Lopez came to the United
States shortly before World War
II. During that conflict he
served as a script editor for
the Office of War Information.

He was later on the staff of the
Columbia Broadcasting System as
foreign news editor.

Recognized as one of the most
active and competent of the
younger medievalists in this coun-
try, he has taught at Brooklyn
College, Columbia and is presently
Professor of History at Yale Uni-
versity.

In the serene atmosphere of the Prayer Room, freshman
Womack finds a few quiet moments for meditation.

Students Petition Georgia's General Assembly
To Keep State Public School System Operating

The following petition is being sent to Lt. Governor Garland Byrd, President of the
Senate of Georgia, and to George Smith, Speaker of the House. Governor Ernest Vandiver
and each member of the Georgia Assembly will receive duplicated copies with names and
counties listed.

Students were signing the petition yesterday and today, as it circulated throughout the
campus.

The petition arose spontaneously from three sources: Mortar Board, THE AGNES SCOTT
NEWS, and certain interested Georgia students.

Petition to the 125th General Assembly of the State of Georgia

We, the following ( ) students of Agnes Scott College, many of whom are resi-
dents of various counties in Georgia, respectfully urge the Senate and the House of Rep-
resentatives of the General Assembly to do whatever is necessary to assure the uninter-
rupted operation of the public schools of all Georgia.

As citizens, future parents and teachers, we are convinced that continuous public edu-
cation is essential to the intellectual and emotional well-being of all the people, adults as
well as children, and to the economic health of the state.

We are aware that the General Assembly alone, by its action at this session, can as*-
sure the continued operation of the schools; we hope that the Assembly will live up to
this challenge.

Ticket Sale Nears Goal of 300
As 'Dream' Becomes Reality

"Have you bought your Junior Dance ticket yet?" This is
the cry of the juniors as they canvass the campus in their
effort to sell the goal of 300 tickets.
As the goal is met, the "Mid-

Winter Night's Dream" will be-
come a reality as Agnes Scott's
first off-campus dance at the
Dinkier Plaza, January 30, at
9:00 p.m.

Preparations are in full swing
as Nancy Stillman, chairman, and
her committees put to work their
plans for the dance.

Posters and publicity is the re-
sult of Florence Winn and her

committee's work. Nancy Batson
wiU head the decorations commit-
tee. Chairman of refreshments
committee is Harriet Elder.

Barbara Baldauf and her crew
are still selling tickets, 11:00 to
12:00 a.m. and 3:00 to 4:30 p.m.
in the mailroom.

The number of tickets sold will
determine the menu of the break-
fast after the dance. Kaki Cham-
bers is in charge of the breakfast.

well as that of the interested ob-

Following Mr. Dodd's lecture
there will be a reception in the

Mary Ellen Barnes, Germaine
Calhoun, Judy Holloway, and Bev-
erly Kenton are the contestants
chosen by the sophomore class.

The freshman class nominees are
Becky Bruce, Jane Hancock, Betty
Hutcheson, and Pat McLaurin.

A new method of selection
Was begun this year whereby
the students had a larger role,
and the finalists compose a
smaller group.

Instead of simply voting once,
as done in previous years, the
classes first made nominations.
From these nominations the final
contestants were elected by their
classmates.

This gave the students the
opportunity to consider the nomi-
nees before making their final
choice of candidates.

There are only four repre-
sentatives from each class rather
than the usual six.

Three prominent Georgians will
judge the girls at a tea, which is
planned for February 13 in the
Rebekah ballroom. Before seeing
them in person, the judges will be
provided with pictures and gen-
eral information about the candi-
dates.

Many aspects will be considered

While interviewing the girls, the

vealed until the Silhouette ar-
rives in the spring.

Secretary Of State Herter
Urges Intellectual Defense

By MARC I TOBEY

"Let me recall an incident that happened when I was
riding in a jeep across war-wrecked Yugoslavia 14 years ago.

"As a congressman I was a member of an American team
checking the necessity for United Nations relief.

"The Yugoslav government assigned to
our team the political correspondent of a
Belgrade newspaper, a young woman who
had fought night and day with Tito's
partisans for several years.
"As we drove along the rutted roads of the
plains that stretch north and west of Bel-
grade, I learned something of her back-
ground.

"The daughter of a Montenegrin general,
she had completed her formal education at the Sorbonne in
Paris but had also done post-graduate work at Moscow Uni-
versity.

"Our talks rapidly turned into an argument about the
American people and their ideals, which went on for several
days without reaching an understanding.

"This stern young woman continually said in essence: 'How
can I understand you Americans?

" 'What do you really care about your religion, your
home, your government, your country?' "
Anyone who has even been questioned in this fashion is
aware of the urgency that every American citizen know
something about his country's basic ideals and how these are
translated into practical foreign policy. The weakness is defi-
nitely in the latter category.

Today more than ever before, when cultural exchange
and travel have become the fahion, all of us from the
President on down to the college student are having to
answer questions thrown at us from at home and abroad.
The congressman mentioned above was able to meet the
challenge presented him by the Belgrade correspondent. Now
as Secretary of State, Christian Herter has recently presented
his fellow countrymen with a series of ten tough questions
the world is asking us at this hour.

How many of these could you answer satisfactorily?

1) Why does the United States stall on discontinuing nuclear tests?

2) If you don't intend to make war, why does the US threaten the Soviet
Union with a ring of military bases?

3) The USSR has made the move to reduce Its military manpower. Why
doesn't the US do the same? Isn't it the US who is always saying that they want
peaceful deeds, not just peaceful words?

4) Why do you oppose admission of Communist China to the United Nations?

5) Isn't it true that American prosperity is based on building a vast war
machine?

6) How can you say you are prosperous when you have millions of unem-
ployed?

7) Why do Americans abroad spend all their time In shops, rather than
learning about a foreign culture?

8) Isn't the American Press the captive of big business?

9) The Soviets are ahead of you in technological fields. Why don't you
admit it?

10) Why doesn't the United States trade with Communist China?

Students Ask Policy
Review For Library

"Beholding the bright countenance of truth in the quiet
and still air of delightful studies." For an academic com-
munity such as ours and from the viewpoint of the admini-
stration and faculty, what better way could there be to spend
a Sunday afternoon?

These words can be found beneath the
mantle of the fireplace in the main reading
room of the library .In view of Milton's
thought, what better place could there be
to spend a Sunday afternoon?

Because of a policy that the library re-
main closed, with the exception of exam
week, from five o'clock Saturday to Monday
morning, the student who wishes to spend
some of this time in extra study is forced to
inhabit the dorms in an air which, for the most part, is not
conducive to study.

After all, it appears to be a known fact that maximum
concentration cannot be reached in the typical "hub" atmos-
phere which seems to invade the dorms Saturday at noon to
remain until some late hour Sundav evening.

On the other hand, while considering the views of the
students, we must also consider the ways in which the
library staff will be involved in this question.
One of the policies of the library is that at least one mem-
ber of the staff must be on duty at all times.

However, since the library has a staff of seven people, it
seems a rotation on this day would partly alleviate the
problem of burdening the staff.

Because we feel there is a definite need and desire among
students to alter the regulation of closing the library on Sun-
davs we ask the administration to reconsider this policv.

Student Chides 'Borrowing';
Dance Means Responsibility

The Editors:

On Monday, January 10, the following items disappeared
from different sections of the kitchen in the Rebekah Rec
Room:

not stealing and vandalizing con-
stitute violations of the honor
system upon which we at Agnes
Scott pride ourselves?

In the future let us think more
seriously on that which heretofore
we have taken so lightly.

Sincerely,
Helen Milledge

An unopened container of chive-
cheese spread, more than half a
loaf of bread, and the greater part
of an unopened box of saltines.

This made it necessary for the
five girls, freshmen and sopho-
mores, who were planning on sand-
wiches for lunch to wait until
someone could go to the store and
buy another loaf of bread.
Other Carelessness
Since school has been in session
a coffee pot has been destroyed,
the bottom completely burned out:
two saucepans and several cups
have been taken; and food such as
sliced meat and cheese and even
canned goods has been continual-
ly disappearing.

These things were not put in the
kitchen for public disposal.

Private Property

Anyone is welcome to use the
utensils but certainly, not to van-
dalize them. All supplies in this
kitchen were bought personally
and have had to be replaced.

The girls who leave food and
equipment with which to prepare
meals may have to go without
lunches when they find things un-
expectedly missing.

Dear Editor:

A tremendous stride is being
taken in the social realm at Ag-
nes Scott an off-campus dance!
Enthusiasm is high and the finan-
cial support was gratifying.
But do we realize the signifi-
cance of this particular dance?
This dance is an experiment up-
on which future events of this type
will depend.

The administration has given us
their full support, and we are
working closely with them on all
the arrangements.

We are asking that, except in
unusual cases, students not
spend the night off campus. The
late permission will be more
than adequate for the night
owls!

Because the dance is taking
place off-campus, invitations must
be presented at the door.

The dance will last until mid-
night and will be followed by a
breakfast. The menu will be de-
termined by the number of tickets
sold.

Student support of this Mid-
Winter Night's Dream will indi-
cate whether we really are inter-
ested in having an off -campus

dance.

Sincerely,

Campus Battle Marker Reveals
Rebels 7 Victory Over Federals

By FRANCES JOHNS

Yesterday, January 19, marked the ninty-ninth anniver-
sary of the day in 1861 when Georgia became the fifth
Southern state to secede from the Union.

The result of the attempt at
disunion was the bloodiest war on
American soil.

An historical marker in front of
Rebekah, next to Candler Drive,
stands in mute testimony to the
local efforts of that war. It reads:
"On this spot was begun the
Battle of Decatur July 22, 1864.
The extreme left of the Federal
advance upon Atlanta, strongly
entrenched upon this ridge, was
dislodged by an attack of
Wheeler's cavalry and driven
through the town to the ceme-
tery. Two hundred and twenty,
five prisoners, valuable arms,
and supplies were captured.
Erected in 1921 by the Agnes
Lee Chapter of the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederacy, this Civil
War marker officially created the
Agnes Scott campus as at least

2098 N. Decatur Plaza
(at Clairmont Rd.)

part of the site of one of the
minor battles of the Civil War.
The well heard railway just a few
paces away is largely responsible
for this battle.

Because of the possibility of a
reinforcement of Confederate
troops from Virginia by rail, Fed-
eral General Sherman ordered
General McPherson and his troops
to destroy the Georgia Railroad
tracks from Stone Mountain to
wards Decatur and General Scho-
field to gain a position in Decatur
breaking railroad and telegraph
lines.

When Confederate General
Wheeler found General Schofield's
division entrenched at Decatur,
hand to hand fighting took place;
and the prisoners, along with a
twelve pound gun and some loaded
supply wagons, were driven out of
the town.

This same day the Battle of At-
lanta took place, and the forty-day
siege of the city began. Also on
July 22, 1864, both Federal Gen-
eral McPherson and Confederate
General Wheeler were killed.

Committee To Hold
May Day Try-outs

Acting tryouts for Sophocles'
"Electra" are open to the whole
campus, May Day chairman Su-
ellen Beverly has announced.

"Electra," the May Day pro-
duction for 1960, is to be a co-
operative effort of Blackfriars,
Dance Group, and May Day Com-
mittee.

Tryouts will be held in the Re-
bekah studio from 7:00 to 9:30
p.m. Monday evening, January
25. They consist of presenting
part of a choral ode in a scene
of about five minutes in length.
This is to be done with a part-
ner, and must be memorized.
A tryout may be used as a try-
out for membership in Black-
friars if a student wishes.
A sheet posted with tryout ma-
terials and directions, to be found
outside the speech studio, must be
signed by those interested.

Copies of "Electra" are avail-
able for $1.00 in the studio if stu-
dents wish to buy them instead
of copying the material.

The casting committee will in-
clude the directors of the play and
representatives of Blackfriars,
Dance Group, and May Day.

The independent college belongs to those who be-

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.

AGNES SCOn COLLEGE

Founded 1889

An independent liberal arts college for women of highest rank
academically, located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

French Arrives At A. S. C.
For Direction Of Campaign

A new face on campus that soon will become familiar to
all students is that of Mr. William French, field representa-
tive of Marts and Lundy fund raising firm.

He is the one who will direct

the campaign to raise, 4^ million
dollars for Agnes Scott College.

Past Experience

A native of Middlebush, New
Jersey, Mr. French attended Ver-
mont Academy and received a B.
S. degree at Franklin and Marsh-
all College in Lancaster, Pennsyl-
vania. During his seven years as
Alumni Secretary at Franklin and
Marshall, Mr. French gained ex-
perience in leading drives to raise
money for the college.

Following that week, he joined
the firm of Marts and Lundy in
New York City and now serves as
its field representative in the
Eastern and Southern areas of the
United States.

Mr. French and his wife, for-
merly an English major at Doug-
las College in New Jersey, are
living in an apartment in Atlanta.
Mrs. French sometimes accom-
panies her husband on his trips,
but she also enjoys visiting mu-
seums and libraries to learn the
history of the many different cities
in which she and Mr. French have
lived. In his few spare moments
on weekends, Mr. French plays
golf, swims, or gardens.

Plans For Campaign

During the eighteen months
while Mr. French directs the fund-
raising campaign, he will be on
campus for only short periods.
Most of his time will be spent or-
ganizing local area campaigns in
forty cities.

An alumna will head the com-
mittee in each area. Other alum-
nae, parents, and friends of the
school will be contacted by her
committee, and their pledges will
be collected. In each local area
campaign there will be four meet-
ings spread over the period of a
month. Mr. French will attend all
of these meetings, and Dr. Alston

will speak in many of the cities
also.

Mr. French is currently working
on a brochure which will be dis-
tributed to students here and
mailed to the friends of the col-
lege. Along with the faculty com-
mittee and student leaders, he is
laying plans for the campus cam-
paign. His hearty enthusiasm, con-
fidence, and talent make it likely
that tjie goal will be reached.

"Agnes Scott is a great college.
It is unique in its Christian char-
acter that is revealed in its pro-
gram of education, chapels, and
the shining faces of her students,"
said Mr. French when questioned
on his impressions of the school.

Rebekah, Cottages Seize
First Basketball Victories

By NANCIE BARR

Basketball season was ushered in with the first week of
inter-dorm competition. The six teams participating showed
promise for a successful tournament. /

Spirits were high, but several
of the teams indicated some lack

of organization.
Of course, this
problem is not
surprising with a
new set of teams
and I am fairly
certain that time
and practice will
iron out many of
the difficulties.

Wednesday's game became par-
ticularly exciting when the
Cottages came up from behind to
win. Their added experience in
playing together as a team was a
definite advantage.

The first quarter was all In-
man's but the Cottage guards or-
ganized themselves to stifle any
further threats. Forwards Ann
Peagler and Mary Beth Elkins be-
gan hitting during the second half
to carry the Cottages to a x 27 to 23
victory over Inman.

Hopkins and the Day Students
battled with Main to a 28 to 10
victory. Willette Barnwell and
Pam Sylvester played fast ^and
accurate ball as Day Student for-
wards.

Walters vs. Rebekah

Walters-Rebekah was the closest
game of the week. Fine guarding
and accurate shooting were the
menu of the day in that contest.

Kay Stapleton, Rebekah man-
ager, rang up 22 points to be high
scorer of the game and of the
week. Genie McLemore and Beth
Hendee helped lead Walters to a
32 to 31 triumph.

This week's high scorers were:

Kay Stapleton (Rebekah) 22 pts.

Willette Barnwell (Hopk.&D.S.) 16 pts.

Ann Peagler (Cottages) 13 pts.

Jeanie McLemore (Walters) 11 pts.

Pam Sylvester (Hopk.&D.S.) 10 pts

Cinderellas, Dates, Flock To 'Dream' Dance

Edith Harrison models the
gown and gloves she will wear
at the Dinkler-Plaza Saturday
night.

By MARY JANE MOORE

Three o'clock in the morning!
My goodness, it's late. But our
modern Cinderella has no worries
as she hurries dp Main's steps to
sign in from one of the dances of
the year, the juniors' "Mid-Winter
Night's Dream."

As freshman Cindy takes off
her heels from her dance-worn
feet, she is absorbed in thinking
back over a night she will always
remember.

Automatically hanging up her
formal, bought especially for the
dance, she can see again the ball
room, the couples, and even feel
the romantic atmosphere.

The ball room of the Dinkier
Plaza had been transformed into
a shimmering twilight of silver
and purple. Silver garlands, cov-
ering the ceiling, partially hid
huge balls of various shades of
purple giving a dreamy effect.

As the couples began to stream
in, new colors were added to the
scheme. Most dominant were the
long frothy wnite formals worn
by the many Cinderellas and the
black and white elegance of their
prince charmings' tuxedos.

Music filled the ball room as the
seven members' instruments of Al-

bert Coleman'.; orchestra softly
blended together to play the first
dance. It was a known fact that
Coleman is a native Parisian who
came to the United States to work
with Sammy Kay. Did this music
sound familiar to upperclassmen?
It should; Coleman's orchestra
has played for several Agnes
Scott-Tech freshmen dances in
the fall. Many couples were com-
menting how danceable the music
was.

By one o'clock it was time to
eat. The breakfast of coffee,
sweet rolls, and juice was just
enough to give that needed energy
after a night of dancing.

As it was time to leave, the
dates surely appreciated not hav-
ing to tip anyone, as that and
the coat checking had been taken
care of by the Dance Committee.

What! Three-thirty, already! As
Cindy finishes getting ready for
bed, she and her roommate ex-
change detailed reports of the
"times of their lives."

A few last minute details
tickets will be sold during this
week through Friday, 3:30 to 4:30.
These must be presented at the
door. It has been the policy not
to have corsages at Agnes Scott-
sponsored dances. But if a flower
is given, by all means, wear it.

Library Will Display Entire Robert Frost Collection
In First Showing Following Annual Lecture Thursday

By MILDRED LOVE

"You have one of the finest
Frost collections in the country,"
wrote a dean of American puo-
lishers in a recent letter to Mrs.
Byers. The Robert Frost collection
of which he spoke will be fully
displayed for the first time on
Thursday evening after Mr. Frost's
lecture.

This collection was suggested in
1044 by Miss Emma Mae Laney, a
member of the English faculty and
chairman of lecture association,
who first invited Mr. Frost to
visit in 1935.

The nucleus of the present col-
lection was given by Mr. Frost
himself when he sent some books
to Miss Laney for the library in
the fall of 1945. Upon her retire-
ment the Emma Mae Laney Fund
was established in 1956, and the
income from this fund was desig-
nated for "... the enlargement
and preservation of the Robert
Frost collection already in the li-
brary."

Books in Collection

The books of Frost's poems in
the collection include first editions
and first bindings. In the collec-
tion are copies of the first and
fourth binding of A Boy's Will,
Frost's first book which contained
32 poems, was published in Eng-
land in 1913, and sold for a shill-
ing sixpence. The stamp on the
fly-leaf indicates that this book
was a complimentary copy from
the publisher.

The first variant of North of
Boston, his second book which
was likewise published in Eng-
land, can be found in the collec-
tion. Other books include various

Five Professors To Reveal
Extracurricular Interests

Getting to know the faculty bet-
ter will be the theme of Thurs-
day's chapel when five professors
present some of their outside-the-
classroom interests.

Mr. Hendrik R. Hudson and his
five children will sing. Discussing
experiences during his teaching
career will be Mr. Raymond Mar-
tin.

Others planning to appear, but
who have not announced their
subjects, are Miss Elvena Green,
Miss Kathryn Manuel, and Miss
Kate McKemie.

Leading this program will be
Barbara Baldauf.

On an earlier visit to the campus, Robert Frost discusses whh

librarian Edna Byers will reveal tomorrow night.

editions of collected poems, Japa-

nese, German, French, Arabic, and
Spanish anthologies which include
his poems, and Frost's latest book
You Come Too, a 1959 collection
of poems for children.

Christmas Cards
One of the most interesting sec-
tions of the collection is the
Christmas cards. These cards con-
tain a new Frost poem and are
sent by the poet and his friends.
The first cards, published in 1929,
were limited to 275 copies sent
by 3 people. They have been pub-
lished each year since 1934 with
the exception of 1936 and 1943.

Miscellaneous pieces in the col-
lection include page proofs, one
of which is of Steeple Bush, hand-
written poems, introductions and
prefaces to books, and speeches
made by Mr. Frost on ceremonial
occasions. There are copies of his
prose pieces, such as the one on
baseball, which have never ap-
peared in books.

Periodicals and Inscriptions
There are about 800 magazine
and newspaper clippings alone in
the periodical portion of the col-
lection. Most of these are bio-
graphical in nature although there
is some critical material.

The collection has the touch of
Frost himself through the in-
scriptions in many of the books.
In a copy of A Boy's Will is writ-
ten, "To Emma Mae Laney this
my very first." In his 1928 West
Running Brook, the poet wrote,
"For Emma Mae Laney's collec-
tion and I must see that it keeps
growing."

In a more humorous vein he
wrote in an edition of Collected
Poems, "To Emma Mae Laney
from her old friend (and getting
older) Robert Frost." The Ger-
man translation of Complete
Poems bears the words, "To the
McCain Library my appreciation
for all they have made of me at
Agnes Scott."

Exhibition
The collection is to be placed in
a case under the portrait of Frost
painted by Mr. Warren. The vari-
ous items will be periodically ro-
tated. During the full display
mimeographed copies of notes on
each item will be available for
viewers of the collection.

Robert Frost, a man who "never
goes touring except where there
are friends," arrived today for
his eighteenth visit to Scott. The
85 year old poet will remain on
campus until Friday.

Kansas City Art Institute To Bring Together
Retrospective Exhibition Of Warrens Art

Part of a life's work, which has
brought Mr. Ferdinand Warren
acclaim as an artist in the South-
east and throughout the country,
will be brought together by the
Kansas City Art Institute as a
25-year retrospective exhibition of
his paintings.

The Institute, where Mr. War-
ren began his art studies, is hon-
oring him at the celebration of
its 75th anniversary. Mr. and Mrs.
Warren will be in Kansas City
this Sunday for the opening re-
ception and preview of the exhibi-
tion, which includes selected paint-
ings from 1935 to 1960.

Among the guests expected to
attend the reception is Ex-Presi-
dent Harry S. Truman, who shares
his native town of Independence,
Missouri, with Mr. Warren.
Painting To Be Shown

Many of the works to be in the
exhibit have been shown through-
out the country. Among the 28
paintings is included his first sig-

nificant award painting, "Mon-
taulk Lighthouse," which was
shown at the Carnegie Interna-
tional Exhibition in Pittsburgh in
1936.

Several works have been loaned
by Atlantians for the exhibition,

Professor Ferdinand Warren se-
lects a favorite painting for his
Kansas City showing next week.

which is to last through February
22. These include "Night Landing,"
an impression of the city of At-
lanta at night from the air, from
the collection of Mr. and Mrs.
Thornton Kennedy; and "Cotton
Patch," from the collection of Mr.
and Mrs. Louis Regenstein.

An oil interpretation of the Ag-
nes Scott glee club, "Cantata,"
is also in the collection. The com-
plete selection of works is com-
posed of paintings, encaustic and
mixed-media paintings, and some
recent work tending toward the
abstract.

Frost Portrait

One of Mr. Warren's paintings
which is particularly significant to
Agnes Scott will not be in the
Kansas City exhibition. The cher-
ished portrait of Robert Frost will
remain in its spot in the library
as the focal point of a display by
Mrs. Edna Byers during Mr.
Frost's annual visit here.

Lost Statesmanship?

Candidates for the presidency have mounted the soap box,
preening their feathers, and casting around for the most
expedient stand, hoping to get elected by a pleased mass to
the highest office and honor our nation offers.

In addition to the presidency, there are
around 100,000 elective offices at stake this
year.

This past week during the furor over

"to close or not to close" the Georgia

schools, one point which was brought out

was that if they are closed, Vandiver will

ruin his political career.
What quality of men will fill our nation's
offices? People merely anxious to get re-
elected the next time their names come up? Or statesmen oi
the 1775 variety such as Washington, Franklin, Jefferson,
Madison, Marshall?

Obviously men of the lesser caliber. But why is it that in
a democracy, where government should be considered of
tantamount importance, men of ability and quality often re-
fuse to participate in the affairs of the state, national or
local?

A suggested answer lies in our whole materialistic culture,
where "private enterprise" is the key that unlocks vistas of
wealth, esteem, and power.

Public service civil service, the armed services, and
politics is looked down upon as a mark of lack of ability
or a tendency toward corruption. As a profession it is con-
considered either tiresome or suspect.

Rarely do you hear of little boys whose sole desire is to
be president. They'd rather be steel magnates, these days.

Is it that America has lost its old zest for public affairs
for government of the people and by the people as well as
for the people?

We as a nation need to rise up to meet the challenge offered
us in these words uttered by Thomas Jefferson during his
term as Secretary of State:

"Take mankind as they are, and what are they governed
by? Their passions . . . Our prevailing passions are ambition
and interest; and it will ever be the duty of a wise govern-
ment to avail itself of those passions, in order to make them
subservient to the public good." C.F.

In s, Out's, Outlets

Doubtless inspired by Allison William's convocation ad-
dress, a recent seminar on Kant devoted two hours' discus-
sion to the 'In's and 'Out's' at Agnes Scott.

The extreme case of the 'In' is illustrated
by the overly gung-ho, blindly loyal girl for
whom the world centers around and is
synonymous with Agnes Scott.

The extreme 'Out' is the thorough skep-
tic who has carried her critical approach
to life almost to the border of infinity.
Neither ardent accepter nor perpetual
griper is ideal.

The most 'In' people are those on 'Exec'
The most 'Out' members of the community would be called
in less enlightened times the 'Hub group.' Potentially, both
these segments of the student body are ideal. These paragons
might be termed the 'Critical In' and the 'Loyal Out.'

The 'Critical In' is not satisfied with the answer 'It's in
the handbook, that's why we have it.' The 'Loyal Out' re-
tains her honor while offering constructive suggestions for
improvement.

The problem, the seminar decided, was the lack of com-
munication between these groups. The most salient reason
for the silence was felt to be the recent "clean-up-cam-
paign." Few want to provide by chance the missing link in
farming a case against a fellow student.
It was suggested among other things that perhaps repre-
sentation on Exec has not followed proportionately the in-
crease in the student body.

Likewise, many privilege and policy changes are saved
as big-surprises for joint house meetings. The bolt-out-of-
the-blue plan is possibly inferior to a more publicized effort.
Even if a much discussed policy change did not come
through, it would be better to know why. The general
ignorance of the student body in these matters possibly
inspires most of the griping and little of the constructive
discussions.

We had the rare experience of attending a meeting of the
Rules Committee to present a case for changing a major
social policy.

If anyone interested could feel free to attend a hearing
on a policy and speak for or against it, perhaps some of the
communication barriers would diminish.

We feel that Student Government basically is a major
news item. We feel that it should be a subject for active
individual interest.
Student Government has a challenge in extending the
philosophv that went behind the establishment of Open
Forum. E.T.

U.S.S.R. Proves 'Propaganda 7
With Research Disarmament

By MARC I TOBEY

For years Americans have been spitting and shouting the
words, "Propaganda! Propaganda!" at every Communist
made statement which indicated that the Reds are excelling
in any field.

and economic pressures.

The U.S. can no longer afford
to take a back seat in this criti-
cal international struggle. But
efforts to improve public rela-
tions will have little or no effect
if the American people do not
see the need to push to the
front positive, aggressive lead-
ers.

The Soviets know that they
have a^ idea worth selling to the
world and they are devoted to
making this sale, for they have
discovered that, in the final analy-
sis, only a people with a deep
spiritual conviction can survive
in the type of merciless competi-
tion in which the nations of the
world find themselves today.

In the central arena of com-
petition between free and totali-
tarian worlds,
meanwhile, the
Communists have
been using this
potent psycholo-
gical weapon to
an increasingly
successful de-
gree, until today,
they have be-

become the "main attraction" ?n
"the biggest show on earth."
Despite reliable reports which
indicate that the U. S. is not
drastically behind Russia in the
missile race, an alarming fear
exists in the minds of many
Americans about their country's
''inability to function in the
area of scientific achievement/'
The Russian press which is si-
lent about satellite failures and
shows a great deal of finesse in
reporting successful launchings,
has developed an acute sense of
timing.

The announcement of the moon-
shot which coincided with Khrush-
chev's arrival in Washington was
perhaps their most effective dra-
matic masterpiece.

The fact that only a few years
ago the oft repeated veto's of
the Russian delegate to the UN
Security Council marked him as
negative negotiator in interna-
tional affairs has been forgotten.

Letter to the Editor

'We Want to Sleep 1
Says First Walters

Dear Editor,

The night of the firedrill,
I'm forced to confess
Was a night of confusion
As time did progress.
The dorm, she was noisy
From seven till ten
Then dulled to a roar
Like lions in a den.
Round about midnight
When all should be quiet
There came from upstairs
The sounds of a riot.
Fire drills, fire drills
In some other dorm.
If you can't keep, quiet
Take chloroform.
Violence we didn't
Wish to employ
But it was some sleep
We wished to enjoy.
So trudging back
To my nice warm bed
I engaged my pillow
To cover my head.
I was almost asleep
When what did occur
That stupid old bell
Came forth with her purr.
I wa^ out of bed
Quick as a flash
Shoe on one loot
One in the trash.
The next little meeting
Was out in the cold
When thoroughly chilled
"Go in" we were told.
Again to my bed
I sleepily went
The remains of the night
There to be spent.
While trying to sleep
Declarations of war
People on Second
On Third did abhor.
The place of the battles
I can't verify
But as for their troops
I heard them march by.
Now in my youth
I must admit
I fought my battles,
Scratched and bit.
Games like this
Soon grow old
So bite your lip
Try not to scold.
The babies above us
Will soon mature
So we must be patient
And try to endure.

Sigma Chrs Winter Rush Party
Attracts Pajama-Clad Hottentots

By LINDA LENTZ

The cold winter evenings did not discourage gay activities last
week-end, but rather had the reverse effect. Everyone seemed to have
that umph and energy that only cold, biting air can bring. Scotties
danced hard, laughed loud, and several went home to Florida ....

Strange attire such as flannel night shirts and Chinese pajamas
walked off campus on Friday night as many girls headed for the
Sigma Chi house at Tech for a winter rush party where sleep-wear
was the appropriate costume.

Julia Prather, Robin Rudolph, Judy Little, Ann Risher, Ruth Shep-
herd, Peggy Edney, Colby Scott, and Sandra Chandler. The Delt
party was held at Judy's Lake on Saturday night.

The Tech Betas had a very successful rush party, also on Saturday
night, at the Turn Table Club with "Piano Red" providing the loud,

Enough nights without adequate sleep can lead to severe

When hunger for sleep is frus-
trated, the effect is somewhat
similar to snatching a juicy bone
from a hungry dog.

If you are a chronic stay-up-
later, you'd better not rely on
that proverbial "one good night"
to put you back in shape. Dr. and
Mrs. Graydon L. Freeman, North-
western University psychologists,
found that at least two full nights
and preferably more are neces-
sary to bounce back from one
four-hour night.

Reporting on the results of re
cent scientific studies of the
effects of sleep loss, Author Robert
O'Brien quotes Dr. Nathaniel
Kleitman, nation's foremost
authority on sleep: "If we do not
get enough sleep, we cannot be
fully awake during the day."
When not fully awake, we are not
in our right minds, O'Brien adds.
How much sleep is enough?
Says Dr. George S. Stevenson
of the National Association for
Mental Health, "All human be-
ings need a minimum of six
hours' sleep to be mentally
healthy. Most people need more.
Scientists at Walter Reed Army
Institute of Research, Washington,
D. C. have determined that a brain
deprived of sleep will make any
sacrifice to get it.

After a few hours without sleep,
the brain begins to "steal" fleet-
ing seconds of slumber. As sleep-
less hours increase, the lapses be-
come longer, perhaps three or
four seconds. In a speeding auto-
mobile or on a complex job such
lapses can spell disaster.

Most common result of too little
sleep is irritability, O'Brien re-
ports. Frustration may be a major
cause of this snappishness, accord-

Stapleton Rings 40 Points;
Game Today Decides Title

By SYLVIA SAXON

The second week of inter-dorm play was great! High
scoring, closely fought play, and some run-away games all
made the past week most interesting.

Also, lnman

The two undefeated teams
Walters and the Cottages
meet head on this afternoon at
5 o'clock in what appears at
this period to be the champion-
ship-deciding game.
However, the other teams are
not to be
scratched from
competition, espe-
cially Rebekah's
with leading
scorer, Kay Sta-
pleton, who set
some sort of rec-
ord last Friday
with forty points,
has a top-flight
scorer in frosh Nancy Abernethy
who managed to sink 18 points in
last Friday's game with Walters.

At any rate the game between
Walters and the Cottages prom-
ises to be a fast, high scoring
affair, with neither team possess-
ing great height, but having
small, rangy forwards who can
hit from far out or in close. The
deciding factor of the game will
probably be who can sink the last
basket before the final whistle.
In the games last week Re-
bekah topped Hopkins. Day Stu-
dents 47-27 with Stapleton scor-
ing 40 points; Barnwell tossed
in 18 points for the losers.
Scoring from close in, Staple-
ton appears unstoppable with easy
lay-ups as well as difficult one-
handers. Feinting the guard out
of position, she uses her height
to "dunk" the ball in for two
points.

Barnwell is also an excellent
freshman forward who will bear
watching; she is most effective
with beautiful one-handed push

The frosh team, composed of Sta-
pleton, Abernethy, and Barnwell
at forwards, seems to be one of
the most adept freshman teams
this school has ever had. They
appear to be a shoo-in for cham-
pionship honors in class competi-
tion.

The Walters Jaguars defeated
the lnman Triumphs 39-31 last
week in an extremely fast contest;
McLemore led the winners with
15 points while Abernethy scored
18 for lnman.

The game was marked by beau-
tiful shooting and guarding with
both in and out shooting. Emily
Evans of Walters was excellent in
holding Becky Evans to 10 points,
while Hardesty for lnman was
especially good in intercepting
passes, fouling up shots, and gen-
erally getting into the hair of the
Walters forwards!

sity, Dr. Napier will arrive on
the Agnes Scott campus Mon-
day, February 8, to begin a
week's series of talks and dis-
cussions.

Religious Emphasis Week will
begin on campus Monday night
with an informal talk at 8:00 p.m.
in Walters' Recreation room. The
four Boards and Lower House are
especially requested to attend and
any other interested students or
faculty are invited. The talk will
be followed by an informal recep-
tion.

On Tuesday through Friday
mornings Dr. Napier will speak
during the chapel period. The
topics for these chapels are as
follows: "Faith and Unfaith,"
"Faith and Darkness," "Faith
and Magic/ and "Faith and a
Broken World."

Each night during the week
from 9:30 to 10:30 there will be
discussions in the Hub at which
time Dr. Napier will answer ques-
tions submitted by the students.

Dr. Napier will also be available
by appointment from dinner to the
time of the evening discussions for
group or personal conferences.
The concluding service of the
week will be Communion Fri-
day evening from 6:45 to 7:30
in Maclean.

Jo Flowers, Religious Emphasis
Week Chairman, states "RE week
will be in my estimation one of
the most meaningful and exciting
events of the year.

"Dr. Napier is not only an out-
standing Biblical scholar but from
all reports, he is a fascinating per-
son. I have been told that he will
be quite a challenge to our stu-
dent body.

"Religious Emphasis week will
not be effective to any student
if she feels that her only part
is to go sit and wait for inspira-

tion from the speaker.

"There is a necessary amount of
spiritual and emotional prepara-
tion in order tc get the fullest,
benefit of the opportunity offered
during this week.

"I hope that each student will
enter the week with a spirit of
giving her best and of being will-
ing to respond."

Dr. Napier's professional ex-
perience has been wide and varied
with the early years of his minis-
try spent in Massachusetts and
Connecticut.

He accepted a position with Im-
manuel Episcopal Church, Athens,
Georgia, in 1947 at which time he
was also associated with the Uni-
versity of Georgia as University
Chaplain and Chairman of the De-
partment of Religion.

Since 1949 he has been a mem-
ber of the faculty of the Yale
University Divinity School.

Not only has Dr. Napier's ex-
perience included positions as
pastor, but he also served as Min-
ister of Music in Connecticut from
1937-42.

The author of the book From
Faith to Faith: Essays on Old
Testament Literature, Dr. Napier
was also a contributor to the In-
terpreter's Bible Dictionary and
Harper's Dictionary of Biblical
Biography.

Born of American missionary
parents in Ruling, China, Dr.
Napier was educated in China and
Japan, coming to Howard College,
Birmingham, Alabama to receive
his A.B. degree.

He later studied at Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary,
Yale Divinity School, and received
his Ph. D. degree in the field of
Biblical Literature from Yale Uni-
versity Graduate School.

A Fulbright Research Scholar-
ship was awarded the speaker
in 1954 which permitted him to
study in Heidelberg, Germany.

Class of '62 To Welcome Parents' Visit
With Exhibit, Luncheon, Water Pageant

By NANCY BARRETT

The sophomore class will roll out the red carpet Friday morning as they welcome their
parents to the 1960 Parents' Weekend. Activities will begin with registration in Walters
and a cup of coffee to start the day.
Classrooms in Buttrick will be game between Walters and Hop-

the next stop for Mom and Pop
where they will officially become
"members" of the student body
for the duration of their stay.

Friday Chape! will feature
"Lost in the Stars," a staged
presentation by faculty and stu-
dents. For the first time, the pro-
duction will feature dancing by
the modern dance group.

On Friday afternoon, the par-
ents will have an opportunity
to talk with the members of the
faculty in their offices.
After a strenuous day in class,
parents will find recreation in
store as they view what promises
to be a closely fought basketball

kins in interdorm competition.

"Symphony in Sea" will be the
center of attention early in the
evening with the Dolphin Club
water pageant.

Following this, the visitors will
have an opportunity to meet other
parents during the Open House
in Walters Recreation Room. Later
that night, the sophomores will
be host to the rest of the student
body at a traditional campus sing
in the quadrangle.

The sophomores will guide Mom
and Dad to classes again on Sat-
urday morning. The traditional
Thanksgiving Chapel will be con-
ducted by C. Benton Kline, Jr.,

Memory Lingers On

"A Midwinter-Night's Dream" is over, but the melody
lingers on! Every girl who attended will cherish fondest
memories of Scott's first off-campus social function.

Nancy Stillman's committee had planned the affair per-
fectly, for the "dream" quality prevailed, from our first glance
at the glimmering mirror-balls to the last sleepily sipped
cup of coffee.

Nancy Batson's decorations were a wonderful complement
to the beautifully dressed girls, and Josie Roden's successful
choice of blind dates, a tremendous task, was evident in the
natural gaity of every person there.

The cooperation and trust which the Administration gave |
to the affair cannot be underestimated: without their help, |
we could not have had an off-campus function, and without
their trust, the atmosphere could never have been so -perme-
ated with sheer ease and joy. The three o'clock time limit
was thoroughly magnanimous.

The dance could not have been successful, either, without
the cooperation of the student body in buying tickets, the
responsibility which each girl took for her date's behavior
and they were wonderful! and the apparently total lack of
"incidents."

"Dreams" like this are what memories are made of. E.T.

We Think

Freshmen Welcome
New Responsibility

Last week for the first time a Freshman class was granted
the privilege of single dating during the Winter Quarter.

At first the general reaction was excitement, as the class
as a whole was thrilled.

It was only later, after the first excitement had worn off,
that individuals began to think seriously about what single
dating means.

The class is naturally proud. This privilege was earned
by the good behavior, maturity, and responsibility shown
by the class during the Fall Quarter.

Along with the obvious advantages of single dating go
certain responsibilities of which we are well aware. This
privilege is for our use and enjoyment and not to be abused.
We are expected and intend to show the same maturity and
good judgment for which we were given the privilege.

Perhaps the greatest pleasure is the realization that we
are becoming more and more a part of Agnes Scott.

By having the same privileges and therefore the same re-
sponsibilities as upper classmen we feel accepted on a more
equal basis and not as "scared, wide-eyed frehmen." At last
we feel ourselves mature, responsible members of the college
community!

The Freshman class is grateful for this honor and respon-
sibility and we shall do all we can to make the privilege
well-deserved.

NSA Stimulates Participants
In Exercising Student Voice

(Ed. note: Each summer two members of Exec attend the N.S.A
Congress to help formulate N.S.A/s stand on issues. We wonder if the
average Agnes Scott student is even aware of the various issues. Eve
Purdom here relates the actions of the Congress, in hopes of stimulat
ing student discussion.)

One of National Student Association's main functions is
to make policy declarations on issues that affect students
in their role as students and to use these declarations for
propaganda purposes. The policies are decided at each an
nual NSA Congress.

Assiatant Editor.: FLOSSIB GAINES. MARY JANE MOORE. ESTHER THOMAS

This summer the 600 delegates
considered measures such as limit-
ing the powers of the House Un-
American Activities Committee,
removing restrictive membership
clauses from the charters of na-
tional sororities and fraternities,
and urging additional Civil Rights
legislation in Congress.

Nuclear Testing
The resolution most debated was
one on Nuclear Testing. At 2:00
a.m. in the morning we were al-
ternately amending the measure
and deleting sections of it until
the Congress finally passed a
resolution urging a ban on nuclear
testing.

NSA Communism

The solid South managed to pass
a resolution against Communism.

Although it is clear to those of
us who were there that NSA is
not a Communist organization,
White Citizen's Council newspa-
pers throughout the South have
labeled it as being Red; that is
why the University of Florida
dropped out of NSA last year.

Delegates from Southern schools
felt it would encourage non-mem-
ber colleges and universities in
the South to join NSA if the Con-
gress definitely went on record
against Communism.

Human Relations

Of special interest to Agnes
Scott students is the mandate on
the Southern Human Relations
Project.

The director of this project is
Connie Curry, ;i 1955 graduate of
Agnes Scott. She will travel
through the South working with
individual campuses to help solve
the problems of racial tension and
to foster a greater understanding
of the total problem.

Criticisms

My criticism of the Congress and
its resolutions is that most of the
students are unacquainted with
the issues before they arrive.

The sessions are long, and at
1:00 a.m., no one particularly

cares what resolutions are passed;
the delegates just want to get
through.

The validity of the Congress is
that it makes the participants
more aware of national and inter-
national issues, and it does pro-
vide a fairly accurate voice of the
American student.

Students, Faculty
To Show Art Work

Among the highlights of Sopho-
more Parents' Weekend will be an
art exhibit featuring student and
faculty work.

A small collection of sophomore
art work will be displayed in Wal-
ters Recreation Room, where the
parents will be entertained at an
Open House Friday evening.

The larger exhibit will be open
to parents in the Buttrick Gallery,
where campus-wide student and
faculty work will be displayed.
This will include some works of
Mr. Ferdinand Warren and Mr.
Robert Westervelt. The Buttrick
exhibit will remain on display un-
til February 12.

Among the art work to be shown
will be a variety of mediums, in-
cluding oil paintings, ink sketches,
water colors, abstracts and some
sculptured reliefs.

Another collection of art work
will be shown in the halls outside
of the Dean's Office. This will be
predominantly freshman work.

Miss Marie Huper is working
on the exhibits with sophomore
chairman, Linda Lentz.

Nationalists Shake
de Gaulle's Regime

By MARCI TOBEY

Patiently, President Charles de
Gaulle had been bringing himself
and subsequently
France, back to-
wards a place in
the councils of
the mighty.

But even dur-
ing the writing
of the constitu-
tion in May, 1958,
the French re-
alized that the key to the success
of the Fifth Republic would lie in
the solution of the Algerian prob-
lem.

Rumors that officials of the
Fourth Republic were in favor
of making peace with the Al-
gerian Nationalist Rebels who
had been fighting for full inde-
pendence, aroused the fears of
the Rightists who had hopes
that France would be able to
retain her sovereignty over Al-
geria.

After the latter had gained con-
trol of the situation in Algiers,
the army led by General Massu
called on de Gaulle to come to
the rescue.

Last week, however, the presi-
dent dismissed General Massu
from his post. Partly as a result
cf this action, the Rightests have
been staging angry demonstrations
this week against de Gaulle and
his policy of self determination
for Algeria as he announced it in
September 16, 1959.

In this complex picture, de
Gaulle stands out as a man
against the sky, who after twen-
ty months as president of the
Fifth Republic has reached the
peak of his power where he has,
as a result, the respect of the
people he leads. The time for a
definite move towards final
settlement of the Algerian cri-
sis has arrived.

A year ago the question was
whether or not de Gaulle would
be too much of a dictator; today
the question is whether or not he
is strong enough to carry through
the proposals he made last fall
and retain his popularity.

Chapel To Feature
Politics, Choral Art

Chapel programs this week are
designed to whet the appetite for
politics and the arts.

On Thursday, I. R. C. will plunge
into the midst of the 1960 election
controversies as they discuss vari-
ous Democratic and Republican
policies.

The panel, composed of Grace
Walden, Barbara Specht, Caroline
Simmons, and Anne Peagler, with
Lydia Dwen as moderator, invites
us to "Meet the Next President"
as they discuss the qualifications
of the announced candidates.
"Lost In The Stars"

As a special treat honoring the
sophomores' parents, "Lost in the
Stars," a musical play by Max-
well Anderson and Kurt Weill,
will be enacted.

Professors Kwai S. Chang,
George C. Rice and Dean C. Benton
Kline and Janice Powell will read
the major parts.

They will be accompanied by
speech students who will provide
the narration and read some of
the choruses originally intended
for music.

Students from Dance Group will
interpret three of the choruses.

Abram Cites Legal Angles
In Current School Crisis

By ESTHER THOMAS

Speaking on "The Public School Situation Today" in last
week's convocation, Morris Abram, an attorney with the
firm Heyman, Abram, and Young, presented with great
clarity the essentially legal character of the integration
crisis.

Court's Role

He defined the role of the Su-
preme Court in saying that since
they are not a legislating body,
their task is to render enforceable
decisions, and therefore accepted
decisions.

Discounting the public myth
that the 1955 decision was the
first to over-rule the 1896 "sepa-
rate but equal" interpretation,
Mr. Abram cited numerous cases
from recent history which dis-
associated separate from equal.

He commended Senator Tal-
madge for his effort to pass a bill
making schools an area of local
jurisdiction. This, Abram feels, is
the only honest way to get around
the issue.

Future of Schools

Interviewed, Mr. Abram gave
his opinion about the future action
concerning public schools in Geor-
gia: An Atlanta school will be
closed for having integrated.

Disenfranchised tax-payers will
bring the issue to the governor,
who will then have to ask for
authority to close all the schools
in Georgia.

The legislature, Mr. Abram feels,
will not grant this power. The re-
sult will be public schools with
some token integration.

Public schools are essential, for
"we cannot break this process of
education without killing it."

Mr. Abram commented that Jim
Peters' controversial letter to Roy
Harris was a realistic and right
statement of the situation. Be-
cause of his views, Mr. Abram
would definitely support Ellis
Arnall, former governor, if he ran
for election on a school platform.
Petitions and Change

Asked about petitions such as
those of Agnes Scott students and
HOPE, Mr. Abram responded that,
though at present they cannot
affect the vote of a legislator,
they are rapidly effecting a change
in the climate of opinion.

This change in sentiment in the
final analysis will determine the
fate of public schools in Georgia,
and Mr. Abram closed in com-
mending the student body for its
action in helping to create a re-
sponsibly thinking public.

Walters Wins Inter-dorm Play;
Spectator Spirit Hits New Low

By BETTY KNEALE

The third week of inter-dorm play was marked by excite-
ment, keen competitive spirit, two closely-scored games,
and non-support

The game between Walters' and
the Cottages was the most excit-
ing of the week,
for both teams
were undefeated,
and the score
was touch-and-go
up to the very
end. The first
half was marked
by Ann Peagler's
playmaking and
a couple of long, high shots by
Sylvia Saxon.

In the second half rough play,
especially on the side of Walters,
resulted in many free shots,
which the Cottages could not seem
to make good.

The last few minutes of the
game were filled with much ten-
sion and excitement. The Cottages'
team was leading by one point
until Saxon scored, thus making
the score 28-27 in favor of Wal-
ters.

Freeze Play

Walters tried to freeze the ball
for the remaining 35 seconds.
Emily "Evans fouled Peagler; Peag-
ler missed the free throw. The
Cottages had not lost hope how-
ever, for they fought for the ball
during the free throw, and got it.

The game ended before another
score could be made. Peagler led
the scoring with twelve points, and
Ann Hershbergcr followed closely
behind with eleven.

Rebekah Vs. Cottages

The games Friday were higher-
scoring, but not so exciting. Re-
bekah versus the Cottages dis-
played the talents of Peagler and
her team to advantage, for the
freshmen did not have the neces-

sary coordination to stop them.

The points were scored by the
strategy of feeding to Peagler
who made nearly every goal she
attempted despite the Rebekah
guards. Kay Stapleton, however,
showed much potential; she fol-
lowed Peagler's 36 points with an
excellent record of 22.

Hopkins-Day Students won the
game from Inman, having ex-
cellent forwards in Pam Sylves-
ter and Willette Barnwell and ex-
cellent guards in Nancy Duvall
and Ann Williams. Three of these
girls played basketball on their
high school teams for several
years.

High Scorers

Becky Evans did some fine
work for the Inman's team; she
led the scoring with 19 points.
Pam Sylvester and Willette Barn-
well followed with 14 and 15 points
respectively.

Maybe the games for the follow-
ing weeks will show more at-
tendance than those of this week.
Class pride and participation is at

Campus Selects Bruce To Join
Glamour's 'Best-dressed 7 Panel

Becky Bruce has been chosen to represent Agnes Scott in
Glamour Magazine's "Best-dressed College Girl" contest.

A graduate ol Mineola High '
School, Mineola, Texas, the tall
vivacious brunette was Secretary
of the Senior Class and Home-
coming Queen there last year.

Becky was one of four nomina-
tions from her class for this honor.
She was chosen from sixteen can-
didates nominated by the four
classes.

"Candid, honest, and witty"
Emphasis Week speaker, Dr.

"I expect I will worry you some.
1 hope so; I mean to." As Dr.
Napier opened his challenging ad-
dress to the four campus boards,
Monday night, he revealed both
himself and his theme for the
week.

The main cause for worry in
this day is "people sickness/'
Relating R. E. Week to the basic
human problem, Dr. Napier said,
"We start out the year with a
spring in the step, a smile on
the face, and a song in the heart.
"By February we're completely
de-bounced, un-strung, un-smiled
and un-sung ... At this low ebb
ol the year there's nothing wrong
that couldn't be cured by annihi-
lating the race."

Summing up his address Dr.
Napier connected moderns' dis-
pondency concerning man to the
traditional Christian concept of
sin and God's love.

"The pain of people sickness
can be assuaged when we re-
member Christ's love for every-
one, which excludes no one. In
this love, there are no rotters
or stinkers/

Climaxing the week will be
a communion service Friday eve-
ning, 6:45 to 7:30 in Maclean,
led by Dr. Napier and Dr. Wal-
lace Alston. At that time Dr.
Napier will give his final talk.

Dr. Napier, Bible in hand, makes
a special point in his Monday
night address.

Hopefully clutching a copy of
"Glamour," freshman Becky
Bruce dreams of success as one
of the nation's best dressed.

A committee composed of the
Social Council Board, Harriette
Talmadge, Molly Merrick, and
Anne Rivers Payne designated her
as best-dressed on the basis of
neatness, posture, clear under-
standing of her fashion type, and
appropriateness and originality of
dress.

Ten To Be Chosen

all over the country, ten will be
chosen by Glamour Magazine for
this highest honor. The prize will
be two weeks in New York in
June as guests of the magazine.

The Privileged Few

"Ye are the salt of the earth ... Ye are the light of the
world."

Two thousand years ago these words were spoken to a
small band of disciples by their teacher. ||"~
These men were privileged men. They had
had the special advant?ge of ]iving with their
teacher and listening to him for two or three
years.

As a result, they realized a certain respon-
sibility to take their learning seriously, to
use it, to spread it in the best way they knew
how.

We, too, are the salt of the earth. As col-
lege women we have been endowed with gooct minds, wnicn
have been exercised on a top flight education. We have
strong, young bodies; we live in one of the greatest nations
the world has even seen. We have all the physical, mental,
(and spiritual opportunities one could desire.

But, in spite of all these advantages, we are in constant
danger of losing our savor, or setting our light under a
bushel.

We tend to forget how priviledged we are in every way.
We begin to take everything for granted, and gripe about it.
We become so narrowminded in our life enclosed by College
Avenue, McDonough, South Candler, and Doughtery Street,
that the starvation of children in India, the hopeless life of
refugees in Palestine, Hong Kong, and Austria, the misery
of broken families in China, the problems of the mentally
disturbed in this country become so unreal to us that we are
completely unconcerned.

We forget to live what we profess the kind word, the
turned cheek. We get too busy to meditate, to sort out our
basic beliefs.

In sum, we cease to develop within ourselves, becoming
stunted and stagnant, living on catch phrases remembered
from childhood, letting our interest and concern in the realm
of the ultimates stop with Bible or Philosophy 201.

This week Dr. Napier has brought fresh and stimulating
ideas to us. We hope his words will fall in fertile soil, take
root, and grow into fruitful trees. It would be a shame to let
this ' week of stimulation pass without any more than a
shallow impression. C.F. 1 f

Frost Fans Applaud

"You have one of the finest Frost collections in the coun-
try,'' is the comment in a recent letter to the Agnes Scott
college l ibrarian from a dean of American publishers.

The collection, which was begun in 1944
at the suggestion of Miss Emma Mae Laney
of the department of English of Agnes
Scott at that time, has been under the
constant supervision of Mrs. N. E. Byers.
Material was sent by Robert Frost to Mc-
Cain library for the collection, and Miss
Laney has contributed letters and cards that
she has received from Mr. Frost. The other

_ m _ eight hundred items such as critical material,

articles of visits, and various other news clippings about him
have been collected by the librarian.

Not only have her efforts extended in the direction of
collecting, but she has contributed much extra time to the
project. During the Christmas holidays over one hundred
hours were spent by Mrs. Byers alone in reading, assorting,
and organizing the material which has been accumulating
over these years.
It has been said that there is only one better such collec-
tion in the United States so that the work of Mrs. Byers has
proved to be quite an asset to Agnes Scott. F.G.

Arab-Israeli Problem Erupts
In Suez Block, Border Clash

By MARCI TOBEY

For many Americans it is difficult to gain any insight into
Arab-Israeli problems, not only because we are so far re-
moved from the Near East sociologically, but also because
anti- and pro-Semitic groups have influenced the thinking
of the people of the U.S. so very much.

refugee problems and the oil
problem, which brought into the
picture more than ever outside
interests, added to the economic,
social and emotional upheavals
which such a rapid period of
change brought naturally.
The most recent evidence of this
struggle between Arabs and Jews
has been in the reports of border
skirmishes and in the Arab pre-
vention of passage of Israeli ships
j and cargo through the Suez Canal.
But these are only signs of deep
abiding conflict which continues
to exist between two nationalities
and two different religions.

Most real to the people living in
the Near East today and most
difficult for us to understand is
the intense hatred which exists in
the hearts and minds of the Arabs
whose sole desire is "to drive the
Jews into the Sea," and of the
Jews to whom life is inconceivable
without the "center of energy
their homeland has increasingly
become."

Until this kind of heated pas-
sion, which has been the guiding
force of both groups for over fifty
years, subsides or becomes some-
what subdued, no kind of reason-
able or permanent settlement can
be reached in Near East in the
immediate future.

s'ELL ARCHER. PAULA

ANN AVANT
N'Y WILLIAMS

Today's Arab-Israeli situation
had its beginnings when Nazi ter
rorism forced
many European
Jews to flee from
their homes into
Palestine where,
with British sup-
port, they hoped
to establish a
National Home
fof the Jewish
people.

The literature written in these
stormy years of 1919-1939 about
this Palestine question was al-
ready deeply colored by the
hopes and fears, ignorance and
prejudice, and deep seated emo-
tional and ideological attitudes
of both Arab and Jew. The
years 1939-1949 proved to be
yet another tragic decade in
which Arabs remained unwill-
ing to let the Jews have Pales-
tine and Zionists hung on tena-
ciously to their determination
to acquire it at any cost.

When the British finally turned
the problem over to the UN in
1947. the solution was presented
in the form of a Partition Plan for
Palestine. This proved unsatisfacto-
ly to both sides and precipitated
the Arab-Israeli war of 1948 which
was preceded by the establishment
of the Republic of Israel.

Meanwhile the overthrow of the
Egyptian monarch and the setting
up of a republic. under the leader-
ship of Gamal Abdul Nasser by a
group of army officers and their
1 civilian collaborators represents
| only one of the many changes | ![

Leap Year Plus St. Valentine
Inspire 1960 Model Man-Trap

By SUSAN SNOOP

Valentine's incumen in, and here it's Leap Year too! This
chance doesn't come often, ladies, so best take advantage
of it.

It is important to realize that 'to cook . . .

there are two aspects to the pro-
ject at hand.

First, j one must know what (or

Carrie: That is important; it's
a cinch we can't! But Ina, don't
you really think you'd get bored

whom) one wants. Second, one with a man who's all intellect? I

must know how to get it (or him).
The following conversation be-
tween three experienced old
seniors may perhaps prove fruit-
fully suggestive:

Carrie Campusleader: In my
estimation the ideal man is su-
premely masculine you know,
dashing, impulsive the kind who
sends red roses on the spur of the
moment!

Ina Intellectual: Oh, but it's so
much more important that he be
intelligent! He should be able to
quote Shakespeare to me and
appreciate Johnson and Boswell!
And have an M. A., preferably a
Ph.D., and several languages, in-
cluding Greek.

Honey Homeofherown: The most
important thing is that he be lov-
ing; togetherness is what's essen-
tial. Sharing things like, well,
I think husbands should be able

mean translating German poetry
is nice, but . . .

Ina: Oh, of course he has to be
earthy too; he'll have to appre-
ciate Chaucer!

Carrie: But don't you think he
should be strong, too? You know,
the kind who can say NO or in-
sist yes a really masterly man.

Ina: I know exactly what you
mean! He must feel with the in-
tensity of a Romanticist yet ex-
ercise the restraint of a Classicist!
Well, sometimes, anyway . . .

Honey: Yes, he has to be indul-
gent too a man who doesn't
want his wife to work, who loves
dining and dancing, preferably a
rich man. I want someone who will
spoil me!

Carrie: Well, he should be
thoughtful at any rate. I like the
kind of boy who calls and leaves
his name . . .

Honey: Just one that calls!

Carrie: Ain't that the truth! He
ought to be appreciative too
someone tall and handsome who
wouldn't think of dating a girl
under 5'9"; an engineer who is
envious of a liberal arts education,

It's Valentine season and Leap Year to boot, and the search goes

thinks Agnes Scott the ideal
school.

Honey: Yes, he should be faith-
ful but not possessive: not the
kind who dates you all fall and
then asks his favorite girl from
Podunk, Mississippi, up for the
big dance.

Carrie: Yes, he should ask
months in advance, realizing that
you are popular and have a crowd-
ed schedule.

Honey: And he's gracious, kind,
and understanding when you call
and break a date at the last min-
ute.

Ina: This is all very fine, b\i f
how do you all intend to attract
this paragon of masculine virtues?

Carrie: Oh, it takes a number
of methods: First, of course, and
it helps to be able to work en-
gineering problems. What do you
suggest, Honey?

Honey: Hmmm, transfer, I guess.

Ina: Or go to graduate school;
there's something in proximity!

Carrie: But what do you do
once you've located the man?

Ina: Oh, I've thought that
through already! First, I'll let him
know that I'm a woman of sense
and intelligence. Second, I'll let
1 him know that I'm a woman.

Carrie: Uh huh! This sounds
good. How?

Ina: Well, be intelligent enough
to appreciate him but not so in-
telligent that he can't appreciate
you and use your eyes make
him catch you!

Carrie: It helps to be honest too
- -that usually takes them com-
pletely by surprise.

Ina: And I guess we'd all agree
the most important rule is: Hang
on to the bitter end, under no
circumstances give up.

Carrie and Honey: That's right.

Practice Teachers Enjoy
New, Varied Experiences

By FRANCES JOHNS

Hanging from monkey bars,
searching for bombs these ex-
periences are only a few of those
to be found in the busy life of the
practice teacher.

This quarter Hytho Bagiatis,
Mildred Braswell Carolyn Mc-
Curdy, Emily Parker, Mary Grace
Palmour, Beth Rossheim, Hollis
Smith, and Edith Towers are busy
becoming teachers monkey bars,
bombs, and all.

Emily Parker, who is trying to
keep thirty-one wriggling first
graders interested at Medlock
Elementary, sometimes laughs
herself to sleep at night after an
exhausting day of questions, ques-
tions, and questions. Her enjoy-
ment comes from such questions
as, "Do you get flour from flow-
ers?" and "Can you get new bones
at the hospital?"

All In A Day's Work

After cnly three weeks at Avon-
dale High, Hytho Bagiatis reports
that she was suddenly left by her-
self for two days with tenth
graders. Her supervising teacher
had the flu, and she had to take
over.

One day during the teacher's
absence there was a bomb scare,
and one of Hytho's duties was to
search the lockers for a little green
box. It was happily a false alarm.

Hollis Smith at Medlock Ele-
mentary was persuaded by her
fourth graders to perform on the
monkey bars. Mildred Braswell
with her seventh graders from
Winnona Park Elementary visited
the Georgia legislature in action
last week. These students could not
understand how anybody could do
anything in all that noise.

Towers Teaching Spanish

Teaching first, second, and third
year Spanish at Druid Hills High
School is Edith Towers. She re-
ports that she is having an inter-
esting time with a student whose
native language is Spanish. This
student is Anna Maria Aviles' sis-
ter.

Practice teaching, according to
all these girls, is much more time-
ccnsuming and physically tiring
than school at Scott. It seems that
the life of the teacher may be
harder than the life of the student.

"Keep on your toes" has be-
come the motto of our own prac-
tice teachers. However, in spite
of the constant pressure t/hey are
all enjoying the experience and
feel that it is an invaluable one.

Walters Takes Dorm Title;
Class Tournament Begins

successful season. Thrillers and upsets were the story of the
week.

Monday Main met hard-fighting
Walters. The first half was one
sided with Genie
McLemore play-
ing well for the
Jaguars. The sec-
ond half found
considerable im-
provement for
Main, but it was
not enough to
round off the
score. Walters truimphed 41 to 19.

The upset of the week was
Main's surprise victory over the
Cottages. The Main defense set up
an impenetrable zone -which held
the Thunderbird forwards to 17
points. Main looped 25 to take the
game.

Victory For Walters

Proud parents watched their
sophomore daughters lead Wal-
ters to a 39-25 victory over Hop-
kins and the Day Students. Ann
Gale Hershberger and Genie Mc-
Lemore were key figures for the
winning team.

The second contest of the after-
noon found Rebekah pitted against

Inman. The two dorms were al-
most evenly matched with each
team having a strong, high scor-
ing offense. As the final whistle
sounded the score read 53 to 45 in
favor of Inman.

Thus we can mark the end of
the first inter-dorm basketball
season. Walters, which was unde-
j f eated, can claim a well earned
title while the Cottages and Re-
bekah tied for second place. The
third spot was the Hopkins-Day
Student team; Inman and Main
tied for fourth place.

Class Tournament

Next week we will launch into
the class tournament which should
be a thriller. The inter-dorm con-
test has unmasked several frosh
stars who will prove a definite
threat to their opponents .

As for predictions, Syl sees the
outcome as seniors, sophs, juniors,
and freshmen. I agree on the first
and fourth, but am inclined to re-
verse second and third.

We will have to wait the final
outcome of the series to see which,
if either, of us is correct.

Inscribe Cake With Guests' Names

A chocolate mint birthday cake
that includes young guests' names
in the decoration is just the thing
to make the small fry sit up and
take special notice! And it is a
simple thing to do. Make a two
layer cake according to the direc-
tions on a box of the new Deluxe
Chocolate Mint Cake Mix, inspired
by Duncan Hines. Spread a cream
frosting between the layers and
over the sides and top. The frost-
ing is especialJy pretty when tinted

a pale pink or light yellow. Save a
half cup of frosting for making a
darker or contrasting color for
decorating the cake. With a small
head on the pastry tube working
from the center out write on the
cake the names of each of the
children who will attend the party.
Then everyone gets his own spe-
cial piece of cake. It makes the
party personalized for the guests
as well as the birthday child.

Players To Present Taming Of The Shrew 7

By NANCY BARRETT

The Canadian Players perform-
ance of "The Taming of the
Shrew" has been acclaimed by one
critic as "more than the usual re-
viewer's cliche of 'a charming eve-
ning of theatre' in the best sense,
it is a thoroughly 'professional'
production."

This performance of Shake-
speare's comedy will be presented
by Lecture Association on Mon-
day, February 22, at 8:00 in Gaines.

A succession of leading actors
and actresses has helped display
the waies of this professional
touring company -since its begin-
ning five years ago.

In this performance, Max
Helpman plays the lead as he
Charles Hayter as Grumio argues with Max Helpman as Petruccio i portrays Petruccio. Mr. Help-
in Canadian Players' production of "Taming of the Shrew." I man came to Canada in 1952

and returned to the Old Vic in
England in 1953 where he played
with Claire Bloom.

Upon his return to Canada, he
became one of the most valued
and popular players with the
Stratford Festival.

Tudi Wiggins, who plays oppo-
site Max Helpman in the role of
Katherina, has also received wide
acclaim and is regarded as one of
Canada's most brilliant actresses.

Dennis Carey directs the com-
pany which tours the United
States. Mr. Carey became the first
director of the American Shake-
speare Theatre at Stratford, Con-
necticut at its opening in 1954.

He has also produced for Strat-
ford-on-Avon and has further suc-
cesses at the Old Vic to his credit.
Mr. Carey is regarded as one of

the top directors in theatre today.
Canadian Players was formed
in 1954 by Tom Patterson,
founder of Canada's Stratford
Shakespearean Festival in Onta-
rio and author-director Douglas
Campbell. Since then, it has be-
come one of the most vital clas-
sic touring companies in the
world.

In announcing plans for this
year, Lady Eaton, President of
Canadian Players, said that it will
be the biggest tour yet undertaken
by the company. Preliminary book-
ings indicate an audience of well
over a quarter of a million and
a trip of some 50,000 miles.

In the past, Canadian Players
have presented works by Shaw,
Shakespeare, and Ibsen. Now, a
fourth great classical writer, Chek-
hov, is included in their repertoire.

"To Think Is Hard"

Dare to be an individual! This challenge has several facets
in its meaning.

One could take this statement as saying not to conform,
be a nonconformist. "Just because everyone
else is doing it (or I'm supposed to), I'm
going to be different and not do it."

This everyday nonconformity is seen on
' S 1 I campus in drastic differences in dress, dif-

ferences of attitudes, and breaking of rulas.

Another kind of individuality is the beat-
nik type of nonconformity where both dress
and attitudes are significantly different from

those of "respectable society."

Apathy can also be thought as a special kind of noncon-
formity where the individual considers himself an excep-
tion and disconnects all association of his thoughts from
the matter in question.

A fourth kind of individuality and the most desirable for |
us who are enveloped in an academic atmosphere is indi-
viduality of thoughts, thoughts that ultimately form our |
attitudes which, in turn, become our actions.

Where inspirational lectures and talks are given every day
by professors and speakers, independent thinking on our
part is hard.

It is much easier to accept given ideas to be our own
without seriously thinking them through and relating
them to our own life. As Goethe once said, "To act is easy;
to think is hard."

After a most inspirational and thought-provoking week in
which Dr. Napier has brought to the campus his thoughts on
religion and the church, it is our turn to tune our minds to
a channel of individual thinking.

To continue this process of thinking nonconformity would
develop college students into a more responsive group, in-
stead of mechanical robots. M.J.M.

Committee, Scandrett, Alston
Reconsider Apartment Policy

Since the suggestion for a change in our apartment policy,
the rules Committee of the Executive Committee has met
and drawn up a plan for allowing three Agnes Scott juniors
and seniors to visit men's apartments with several stipula-
tions.

At its winter quarter retreat Exec approved this plan, and
Thursday afternoon we met with Dr. Alston and Miss Scan-
drett to present the plan to them. Our reasons for support-
ing this plan are:

1. Having three couples insures the college against the
bad appearances of a single boy and girl in an apart-
ment.

2. Agnes Scott juniors and seniors know how to conduct
themselves and have the maturity to handle any situ-
ation that might arise.

3. There is a lack of date parlors, TV sets, and kitchens
on the campus which are available to students to pro-
vide an informal atmosphere for dates.

Dr. Alston and Miss Scandrett are opposed to this policy,
for they feel that it would hurt the name of the college in
the Atlanta and Decatur community. Dr. Alston's main con-
cern is the public's reaction to such a policy.

He fools that even if people in Atlanta and Decatur heard
that it was a policy of the school to allow three students
to go to men's apartments, Agnes Scott's prestige would be
damaged, for, in his Judgment, in this community a young
woman's going to men's living quarters is not socially
accepted.

Dr. Alston has said that he does not want to close his mind
to the suggested revision; he is against such a policy, but he
wants to be very fair with us. He wants to sample the opin
ions of people in the community and people who are con
cerned with the college.

He plans to ask the opinions of Tech and Emory admin-
istrators, members of the Board of Trustees, alumnae, and
parents of Agnes Scott students in regard to the plan pro-
posed by Student Government.

We feel that Student Government's position on the re-
vision of our policy is very valid, and only if it appears that
this change would seriously injure Agnes Scott's reputation
in the community can we withdraw our request for this re-
vision.

As the policy now stands, Agnes Scott students mav go
to men's apartments only with an approved adult chaperone.
and Student Government will continue to enforce it.

Sincerely yours.

Africa Gains Independence
As New Countries Emerge

By MARCI TOBEY

Yesterday the African continent was a rich field for exploi-
tation. Today it is a proving ground for young, democratic,
and nationalistic groups.

Since the Portugese, Bartolomeo
Diaz, rounded the southern tip of
Africa in the fifteenth century,
the Dutch, British, French, Italian,
Belgians, Germans, and others have
taken strides to establish their re-
spective spheres of influence over
the Dark Continent.

This was especially true dur-
ing the nineteenth century when
the expansionist fever spread
throijghout the world. Uganda,
for example, became a British
protectorate in 1894 while Ger-
many had proclaimed a pro-
tectorate over South West Afri-
ca in 1884.

Competition among the chief
powers for colonies on the African
continent was greatly intensified
from 3880 until 1940 so that
scarcely a year passed without a
minor incident over a disputed
sphere of influence.

But now an additional group
r voicing its opinions the Afri-
cans. Having lived with the Euro-
peans for almost a hundred years,
they have become ready to take
over their own lands.

In many areas this has caused
grave problems and violent race
hatred. Nevertheless self rule is
winning out. The Union of South
Africa, Guinea and Ghana have
set the example.

This year should be an important
in the emergence of inde-

CCUN To Meet At Emory
For Regional Conference

The Southern regional confer-
ence of the Collegiate Council for
the United Nations will be held at
Emory University Feb. 25 to 27.

The program for the conference
is on world affairs but will be pri-
marily concerned with American
foreign policy and the United Nat-
ions.

Speakers will include Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Ralph Mc-
Gill. editor of the Atlanta Con-
stitution, and Dr. Frank Graham,
special representative of the Unit-
ed Nations. CCUN is a student or-
ganization which was formed by a
group realizing their responsibili-
ty for building international co-

pendent countries. De Gaulle has
been revising France's relationship
with African members of the
French community enabling the
Cameroun to be the first republic
established in 1960.

Mali, the Federation of Senegal
and French Sudan are scheduled
to reach their independence soon.
By the end of the year, the British
colony of Nigeria and the Italian
trust territory of Somalia will be
handling their own affairs.

Other territories will follow the
example of these initiators as na-
tional agitation for self rule
mounts.

The slow, plodding progress of
the African countries towards In-
dependence has suddenly reached
its boom period.

As Africa attempts to solve the
varied problems connected with
this surge, all eyes turn on her,
hopeful that she may rise to an-
swer some of the questions which
have gone unanswered by many
of the world's older independent
democracies.

Former Professor Remembers
Founder, Schools Changes

By FRANCES JOHNS

What would Colonel George Washington Scott, the founder
of Agnes Scott, say about the college today? This is a ques-
tion that perhaps can be best answered by Miss Louise Mc-
Kinney, Professor Emeritus of English.

Miss McKinney, who came to
Agnes Scott Institute in 1891 only
two years after its founding as
Decatur Female Seminary and
who has been living on the campus
ever since, knew Colonel Scott.

"A shy, modest man" is how
Miss McKinney remembers the
man whcse birthday we celebrate
on Monday, February 22, as
Founder's Day.

As Founder's Day draws near,
Miss McKinney muses about what
Colonel Scott or Dr. Frank Henry
Gaines, the college's first presi-
dent, would say about Agnes Scott
now.

Her answer is, "I think Colonel
Scott and Dr. Gaines would be
very grateful when they remind
themselves of how their plans
and ideals for Agnes Scott have
been realized."
She recalls famous alumnae who

have gone into the fields of church
work or religious education, writ-
ing, teaching, and welfare and
social work and many of whom
are her former pupils.

Some of these are Virginia
Prettyman and Philippa Gil-
christ, professors at Wellesley.
Agnes Scott's own professors
Miss Ellen Douglas Leyburn,
Miss Janef Preston, Miss Jose-
phine Bridgman, Miss Margaret
Phythian, Miss Roberta Winter,
and Miss Llewelyn Wilburn are
also among those whom Miss
McKinney recalls from her 46
years of teaching at Agnes
Scott.

Among those who have gone
into social work are Caroline Mc-
Kinney Clarke, Mary Sayward
Rogers, Elizabeth Warden, and
Mildred Thomson. Mildred Thom-
son who has been teaching retard-
ed children in St. Paul is also writ-
ing a book on the retarded child.

Miss McKinney also recalls
novelists Evelyn Hannah Sommer-
ville and Marion McCamey Sims
and biographer Betty Stevenson.
Some of the poets among us are
Miss Preston, Annie King, and
Daisy Frances Smith.

As Agnes Scott's first English
teacher, Miss McKinney has seen
many such alumnae come and go.
She has also seen all of the
changes at Agnes Scott. A native

COL. GEORGE W. SCOTT

Virginian, Miss McKinney came
at the age of twenty-three to Ag-
nes Scott. Decatur was then a
town of un-paved streets, no street
lights, cne general store, and a
drug store; and Agnes Scott was
Agnes Scott Institute, a private
grammar school.

"Grammar school, prep school,
college Miss Hopkins and I
lived through all of that," she
says.

Living on campus with the stu-
dents until 1918 (when she moved
into the little white house behind
Walters where she now lives) and
a professor of English until 1936,
Miss McKinney remembers even
the changes in the celebration of
Founder's Day.

She reports that it was not until
1925 that the custom of formally
celebrating Founder's Day started.
Since then there have been such
celebrations as special meals with
girls in costumes, radio broad-
casts, and a holiday.

Saxon Applauds Norman
For Successful Dorm Play

By SYLVIA SAXON

With the first interdorm play just completed, it is time to
briefly evaluate the season, and perhaps look just a little
into the class competition.

It seems that this entire basket-
ball season will be one of the most,
interesting and exciting of past
years. Each in-
terdorm game
was filled with
excitement, re-
gardless of how
lop-sided the fi-
nal score may
have been.

My one re-
gret is that
more people did not take ad-
vantage of "playing just for
fun/' rather than for the honors
and laurels of the class compe-
tition. It seems that each has
its place and too many people
have accentuated the latter
rather than the former.
The plan met with such success
that it will inevitably become an
integral part of the sports pro-
gram. We wish to commend Jane
Norman and the Physical Edu-
cation department who worked
hard to make the program success-
ful.

With that out of the way, it
is time to take a peek at the
class competition. The teams are
so closely matched that even a
small factor could determine the
final outcome of the season.

The frosh have an excellent
group. Its one weakness, however,
seems to be a lack of seasoned
guards. Their forwards are about
the most well-rounded and are
capable of shooting from any-
where; and they have the height,
to boot.

If they are knocked from con-
tention, the most probable rea-
sons will be lack of experience as
a playing unit, and lack of sea-
soned guards.

The sophomores exhibited
their skill during the inter-
dorm play. Their forwards are
small, but fast and rangy, and
are capable of wearing oppos-
ing teams ragged.
Their guards, also short but
scrappy, are hard to beat and will
fight to the final whistle.

The juniors are always danger-
ous. They are most potent on of-
fense, where there is great depth
in players who can shoot from
anywhere.

The junior team has been
helped considerably by new

players who have gone out for
the interdorm play and have
done so well, that they have
broken into the starting line-
up.

The guards are good and they
do have height, although they are
not as speedy as some of the
other teams.

The seniors, with two champion-
ships behind them, seem less like-
ly to win the title this year. The
competition is better than ever
and the seniors do not eeem to
have the spirit of past years.

Their major strength is their
guard force that is tall and fast.
Few shots can be made from in-
side on this senior team. The for-
wards arc tall also, and fast, but
sometimes erratic.

Class Tournament Games

Class competition games began
this Friday with the seniors beat-
ing the sophomores 25-11 and the
juniors edging the freshmen 33-26.

Outer Space Lunch
To Open Campaign

A kick-off luncheon on April 5
will initiate the campus phase, of
Agnes Scctt's campaign, which will
be completed on Victory Day,
April 20.

Classes will operate on a
stepped-up schedule the day of the
luncheon so that the entire campus
community can be present. The
luncheon will be held in the gym at
12 o'clock.

"Space and Space Travel," the
campus campaign theme, will be
carried out in the decorations and
short program.

Miss Mary Lily Boney and Boo
Florance are serving as chairmen
of the luncheon. Working with
them are Nancy Gheesling, Helen
Clyde Hereford, Lucy Maud Davis
and Ann Parker.

Victory Day will be observed in
a special convocation, where Dr.
Alston will announce the results.
Should the $75,000 goal be reached,
an Agnes Scott Holiday will be
proclaimed.

Mr. Ferdinand Warren gives pointers to Betty Barber and Nancy
Batson as they work on the campus mural which will hang below
the clock in the dining room during the campaign.

Campus Boards To Sponsor
Raffle, Slave Sale, Art Auction

By ELLEN MIDDLEBROOKS

Have you been hankerin' to wear those new plaid slacks
to class or have that particular senior you know iron all
those blouses you've put away for weeks?
here is your chance! Stu-~

April 5, I960, marks the launching of the first step in the
largest financial campaign in Agnes Scott College history.

Shooting for a goal of $75,000,
faculty, students, administration,
and staff will spend two weeks in
an all-out effort to match past
records of 1007c participation and
goals surpassed.

In an effort to raise $11,000,-

000 by 1964, begun seven years

ago, nearly $6,500,000 has been

secured. The campus campaign,

led by Professor Lewellyn Wil-

burn and Mortar Board Presi-
dent Mary Hart Richardson, will

inaugurate the first of three

steps in a national campaign

which has a goal of $4,000,000.
If this sum is obtained, the col-
lege will receive an additional
$500,000 from an anonymous
donor.

Well

dent Government is providing each
of you with the opportunity to
"express yourselves" by sponsor-
ing Suppressed Desires Day, while
Athletic Association will provide
a number of willing and most
humble seniors to perform various
tasks for you.

Senior Slaves

You might want to consider (be-
sides having your clothes ironed)
having your homework done or
having your "slave" attend class
for you, previously admonishing
her to take very neat notes.

These two projects are a sample
of those planned by the four
Boards and Lower House for the
campus campaign. These projects
have been planned to add spirit
and a feeling of fellowship and
community participation on the
campus .

Low Prices

Since the primary purpose of
these projects is not to raise a
large sum of money, the prices
will be minimal. Each of the
Boards and Lower House will con-
tribute as a unit what they earn
from the projects.

Among the other projects will
be the raffle of a date with one
of the campus heroes from that
greatest of all vocational school?
Georgia Tech, sponsored by
Christian Association, and a facul-
ty and student art auction spon
sored by Lower House.

Anonymous Givers
Provide Challenge

Four gifts of $1000 each have
been presented to Agnes Scot
College by an anonymous donor to
be used as challenge gifts in the
campaign. Each of the gifts will
be credited to the class winning
one of four points of judgment.

The first gift will be credited
to the class giving the largest
amount of money to the campaign.
The class having the largest per
cent of stockholders wil contribute
the second challenge gift. The class
which gives the largest amount
per capita will be credited with
the third while the class with the
best campaign promotion will con-
tribute the fourth $1,000.

(Continued on Page 6)

Following the campus drive
there will be area campaigns in
major cities over the nation. The
third and final phase of the drive
will be in the home communities
of Atlanta and Decatur in the
spring of 1961.

Heading the national cam-
paign will be Robert Frost as
honorary chairman, and Cathe-
rine Marshall LeSourd and John
A. Sibley as honorary co-chair-
men. Hal Smith, Chairman of
the Board of Trustees, will serve
as general chairman, assisted by
a steering committee and other
officers.

Professional consultant for the
campaign is Mr. William French
of Marts and Lundy, Inc.

Campus chairmen Wilburn and
Richardson are being assisted by
a student-faculty steering com-
mittee. Approximately one solici-
tor per ten girls will give each
person an individual opportunity
to contribute sometime during the
campaign period.

"Thoughtful, individual giving
will be the keynote of the
drive," stated Chairman Mary
Hart Richardson.
The seventy fifth anniversary
of the college will be celebrated
simultaneously with the comple-

tion of the development program
in 1964.

If the remainder of the $11,000,-
000 goal is obtained, the endow-
ment of the college will be about
$10,000,000, and the total assets
will be approximately $18,000,000.
Only seven independent women's
colleges in the world have greater
total assets.

Additions to the college plant
will inc'ude a new dorm, a gym-
nasium, and a fine arts building.
Funds already raised have en-
abled the college to build Hop-
kins and Walters dormitories,
rennovate three dorms, and
purchase additional property.
Past and future plant additions
and improvements on campus are
only part of the use for the de-
velopment funds. Each student
pays in her tuition only a portion
of the cost of her education here.
The development funds will in-
crease endowment, subsidizing tui-
tion and raising faculty salaries.

In order to achieve this vision
of greatness, two things are ab-

fers of other major schools.

The second requirement of a
great college is excellent physi-
cal facilities. Much of the money
raised will be used for a new
physical educational building, a

new dormitory, a new fine arts
building, and for converting the
gym into an up-to-date student
center.

The art department, now housed
on third floor Buttiick and Camp-
bell basement, and the speech stu-
dios, currently located in Rebek-
ah Scott Hall, will ocupy the new
fine arts building.

This building will contain space
for art exhibition, a workshop
theatre and many other much
needed facilities.

The present physical education
building, constructed in 1925 and
now inadequate for student needs,
will be replaced. The tentative
plan calls for a sizable swimming

pool with adequate space for spec-
tators, a gymnasium, and a rec-
reation terrace.

The present gym in turn will
be converted into a student ac-
tivities building. The Hub,
originally a library, will be de-
molished.

A new dormitory will be erected
to enable the college to improve
the housing of students now occu-
pying cottages.

A portion of the endowment
fund will also be used for scholar-
ships. This much-needed aid will
allow the College to continue to
assist deserving students who
otherwise would be unable to en-
ter Agnes Scott.

Looking Forward

Something is wrong in the United States. In a world where
education is rising in value above both cleanliness and godli-
ness, we expend time, effort, money, and emotions trying
to decide who will go to which school, if at all.

Students, both in high school and in college, ,^tgnjrnOT ;
interested in social life and activities than in
really learning anything.

As a nation, we have come to expect edu-
cation as one of our basic rights, and since
it is available for all, we have felt that there
is nothing particularly valuable in it.
Meanwhile, in the emerging states of
Africa, Asia, and Latin America of today,
an education, particularly a college de-
gree, has such great meaning and brings
so much honor that young people in those countries will
practically sell their souls for learning.

And they may yet. The Soviet Union is opening a uni-
versity this year for students from those countries. It will
offer four to eight years of specialized training free, all
expenses paid, including transportation. Obviously education
has at least political value to the Soviet Union!

In this country, however, the image of higher education
as the realm of the happy-go-lucky college crowd remains.
College is just one more good time. Fortunately this -is not
altogether true, but enough so that there is good cause for
distress.

We at Agnes Scott feel, and have felt for genera-
tions, that here at last is a small corner of the kingdom
of heaven on earth. That here one can strive for in-
tellectual attainment in an atmosphere of general academic
interest. That here is a place where religion is part of the
daily life.

Then we pay our tuition and fees for next year and try to
forget about the less ethereal aspects of life.

But professors must he paid, dormitories must be re-
modeled, new buildings must be raised. The endowment
must be increased so that the presently subsidized tuition
won't have to go up to the $2,500 that it might. All this re-
quires money, filthy lucre that it is.
When a job requiring our time needs to get done, we ac-
cept it because we feel that it is one way to repay others
who have gone before and made the college what it is.
Now, when the giving is in terms of money instead of
time, let us each demonstrate the strength of our convic-
tions concerning the intrinsic value of education in general
and the intrinsic value of Agnes Scott in particular.
After all, many of us will have daughters here in twenty
years or so, and' probably V anddau S hters - 0ur ifts are for
them, too, the future Agnes Scott and the future Ameri-
can citizen. C.F.

Vision and Fulfillment

As an under-current of enthusiasm permeates the campus,
Agnes Scott's vision of greatness seems more real to us than
ever before. Though we are caught up in the spirit of the
campaign, the tangible results may seem to have little mean-
ing for us.

All of us stand to benefit from the vision of greatness, for
vision implies future, and the future is our
lives. We are the vision of twenty years ago.
Our daughters will personify our present
hopes.

Job-hunting graduates are often told: "We
have outstanding women in our business
from your school." Potential graduate stu-
dents know that their best recommendation
is their Agnes Scott degree.

It is this vital, continuous vision which
makes our degree represent so much more than four years'
time in college.

And it is only our vision that will maintain and enlarge
the meaning of the Agnes Scott deg r ee for our generation,
for mere resting on one's laurels inevitably means decadence.

Through our vision the potential professional women on
campus now will be able to claim their BA.'s with pride.
Future wives will be able to contribute their Agnes Scott
education to their husbands' assets; there will be nothing to
fear in the increasingly popular wife-interviews.

When we enter our children in schools, our own educa-
tion will be the index by which their intellectual background
can be evaluated.

The tremendous upsurge of college-aged population which
is in part already upon us means that colleges will be com-
peting more highly than ever to maintain and improve their
educational standard.

It is we who can assure Agnes Scott of her continuing and
enlarging role in the education of our nation's women.
Through the results of the campaign, we will be reaching
the nation.

Through our contribution in the mainstream of Agnes
Scott vision we become part of both the history and the
promise-laden future. But it is only our responsive action
NOW which can fulfill the promise of this vision. E.T.

Richardson Answers Queries
Regarding Campaign Benefits

By MARY HART RICHARDSON

Ed. note Mary Hart Richardson, Student Chairman of the campus
campaign, has agreed to tackle some of the pertinent questions raised
by students concerning the forth-coming financial drive.

These questions about the campaign are representative of
those already asked by members of the campus community.
Students who have further questions should feel free to ask
me or their class chairmen.

comes from endowment and gifts.
We are not paying for our edu-
cations.

Why should I give when I won't
see the benefits?

This is true of every high pur-
pose we commit ourselves to;
there are no tangible rewards. The
satisfaction comes from our
knowledge of the significance of
both our contribution and our
goal. We are receiving the unique
benefit of a Christian education.
Our coniributions will insure the
continued advancement of an
alma mater of which we can al-
ready be tremendously proud.

How can I pledge when I have
no personal income?

Both the share program and the
five-year pledge period are de-
signed for the student's limited
income. Within this period every
student will have, besides her sum-
mer work, at least one full year
out of college.

Brochures explaining both the
campus and area campaigns are
being sent to parents so that they
may fully understand the volun-
tary program in which we are
being asked to participate.

What if I definitely plan to
transfer?

Having attended Agnes Scott,
you will always be identified with
it. Agnes Scott will regard you, as
you will regard yourself, as an
alumna of the college. But even
beyond this tie is the ultimate
worth of the goal to which you
will be pledging yourself.

How can I be sure my contri-
butions will go for the school, and
not for the services of Marts and
Lundy?

Not a dime of the gifts of this
campaign will go to its expenses.
The trustees have provided far in
advance, having already set aside
adequate funds tc cover the cam-
paign expenses.

Have \ not made my contribu-
tion to this college, having paid
my tuition yearly?

Agnes Scott, as a private insti-
tution, is totally dependent on tui-
tion and endowment for its cur-
rent expenses. All of our tuition
goes into current expenses; none
builds up capital. All of the build-
ings have been built through money
received in such campaigns as our
present one.

Further, Agnes Scott has de-
liberately kept its fees well below
those of comparable colleges. The
college subsidizes the education of
each girl S600 yearly. This money

Present-day Campus Reflects Success
Of Oversubscribed Campaigns In Past

By FRANCES JOHNS

"$50,000 in 50 hours," headlines in both Atlanta newspapers on November 29, 1909, de-
scribes part of Agnes Scott's first fund raising campaign. This campaign was inspired by a
voluntary offer of the General Education Board to give $100,000 if the college would raise
$150,000 or more by November 30, 1909.

By eleven o'clock on the night of over the goal of $40,000 in 1928.

November 30 the final amount had
been pledged in a gathering of the
entire Agnes Scott student body
and faculty and interested citi-
zens in the Atlanta Municipal
Auditorium.

Seven Campaigns

Since the campaign of 1908-9
there have been seven other fund
raising campaigns averaging about
one every seven years. The last
five campaigns have included
campus campaigns, all of which
have had 100% participation of
student body and faculty and at-
tainment of the goal.

A mock airplane race on wires
in Agnes Scott Hall, better known
to us as Main, was the theme as
Campus Chairman and the campus
pledged $81,000, more than half

Depression Efforts

As a part of the same general
campaign another campus cam-
paign was organized in 1930, one
year after the Depression began.
In spite of these hard times the
goal of $20,000 was reached; and
total pledges amounted to $31,000.

During these campus campaigns
of 1928-30 more money was raised
than at any other time in the
history of Agnes Scott campus
campaigns. ,

The Semi-Centennial Campaign
of 1939-40 began with a luncheon
in the gym, the front of which
was disguised as a ship, the
"Steamship Hottentot." In But-
trick, boats in a tank of real
water showed the results each day

Campus Doubled Quota

November 8-11, 1948, were the
dates of the last campus campaign.
"The Purples vs Greenbacks," a
football game, was the theme. A
football field was constructed in
the lobby of Buttrick to show
progress toward the $20,000 goal.

Complete with a student band,
cheerleaders, and a water boy, a
mock football game on the hockey
field started a campaign in which
the campus doubled its quota by
raising $40,219.

As a result of the success of the
campaign a two day holiday was
given which the student body
voted to take on the Friday and
Saturday after Thanksgiving.
(Those were the days of no
Thanksgiving holidays.)

Permanent Results

Today Dr. McCain, who has been
at Agnes Scott during all but one
of the campus campaigns, says,
"A campus campaign is the most
interesting activity that I have
been connected with in 79 years.
It generates school spirit better
than a football game. Its big ad-
vantage is that it gives permanent
results."

Aura Of Mystery Surrounds
Faculty s Newest Production

By LISA AMBROSE

The curtain will go up on the long-awaited Faculty Revue
at 8:30, April 9, in Presser Hall. Not "Spellbound II." but a
larger and completely new production, "The Devil To Pay,"
will then take to the stage for its one-night stand.

So far, no inkling as to the na-
ture of the plot has been di-
vulged, and an air of mystery
surrounds all preparations. Re-
hearsals have been going on con-
stantly since February 19, but
the place of practice has been
kept secret. It has even been in-
timated that the location is
changed each time, in order to
escape discovery.

While practically the whole fac-
ulty is izwolved in the production
and all of the parts have been
cast, all involved remain unde-
cided as to who the stars are.

As far as can be discovered, the
history of faculty presentations
goes back to nn informal skit
given during World War II as an
effort to raise funds for a war-
time charity. In 1947, the full-
scale production, "Shellbound,"
was given, to be followed by a re-
vived "Shellbound II" in 1953.

Frequent student requests for
a re-enactment of "Shellbound"
met with coolness during the past
several years, until President Wal-

lace Alston suggested at a facul-
ty meeting last spring that some
such dramatic undertaking be in-
cluded as part of the campus com-
paign. He received a loud and
unanimous "aye" an unusual
event for a group somewhat noted
for its non-unanimity.

The faculty immediately ap-
pointed Miss Roberta Winter to
direct the production and estab-
lished a "Committee on Commit-
tees." This body completed its
task and died a natural death
within two weeks, leaving behind
it a steering committee, a writ-
ing committee, and an innumer-
able number of chairmen in charge
of various activities related :o
production.

The writing committee set to
work at once, labored through the
long summer, fall quarter, and
well into winter quarter in the
creation of their script.

Miss Julia Gary is serving as
coordinator of personnel a job
of essential importance in such a
group of individualists. Other in-
teresting jobs include that of Mr.

with Dean Klin? as his assistant.

Mr. Miller and Miss Zenn are
in charge of sound, and Mr. War-
ren and Mr. Wcstervelt promise
very colorful sets. In addition to
the many jobs of a more usual
nature and as an aid to their cast
of thousands, the faculty has
thoughtfully appointed three ex-
pert prompters.

Senior Team Reigns Victorious
With 3rd Cage Championship

The senior team won the basketball championship with a
rousing 41-31 victory over the freshman team to end the
season untied arid undefeated.

Saxon, with 19, and Evans with

17, led the senior team in their
best game of the year. The senior
guards were spectacular and were
largely responsible for the win.
especially in the early quarters of
the game when the senior team
had not found its shooting eye.

Stapleton and Barnwell paced
the frosh with 15 and 12 points
respectively. The game was tense
and exciting with each team
matching basket for basket for
three quarters until the seniors,
mainly by the brilliant guarding,
were able to pull away in the final
quarter.

Juniors vs Sophs

The juniors eked the sophs 41-
40 in the final game in a come-
from-behind effort. The sophs, led
by Emily Evans with 15 points,
seemed to have the game in the
bag in the third quarter with a
lead of some 8 points.

All of Evans' points were rung
from 15 feet out or more; for the
sophs, McLemore, with 14, and
Hendee with 11, in addition to Ev-
ans led the point parade.

A disheartening loss for the
winless sophs, it was a brilliant
effort for the junior team, whose
play-making was excellent led by

Dalton, High, and Peagler. Peagler
topped 3 11 scorers for the after-
noon with 29 points made mostly
from the inside on snowbirds, lay-
ups and set shots.

Last week, the seniors beat

Negroes Appeal For Equality

Editor note TJie following is a series of excerpts from "An Appeal
for Human Rights," an ad run in Atlanta newspapers and signed by
representatives of six Atlanta Negro colleges.

Student leaders of the six affiliated institutions which form the
Atlanta University Center signed a declaration of the students' in-
tentions to join their "hearts, minds and bodies in the cause of gain-
ing those rights which are inherently ours as members of the human
race and as citizens of these United States.

"... We must say in all candor that we plan to use every legal
and non-violent means at our disposal to secure full citizenship rights
as members of this great Democracy of ours.

"... We pledge our unqualified support to those students in this
nation who have recently been engaged in the significant movement
to secure certain long-awaited rights and privileges.

"... The students who instigate and participate in these sitdown
protests are dissatisfied, not only with the existing conditions, but
with the snail-like speed at which they are being ameliorated.

"... We do not intend to wait placidly for those rights which are
already legally and morally ours to be meted out to us one at a time.

"Today's youth will not sit by submissively, while being denied all
of the rights, privileges, and joys of life. We want to state clearly
and unequivocally that we cannot tolerate, in a nation professing de-
mocracy and among people professing Christianity, the discrimina-
tory conditions under which the Negro is living today in Atlanta,
Georgia supposedly one of the most progressive cities in the South.

"... It is unfortunate that the Negro is being forced to fight, in
any way, for what is due him and is freely accorded other Americans.

"... The time has come for the people of Atlanta and Georgia . . .
to stop believing those who tell us that everything is fine and equal,
and that the Negro is happy and satisfied.

"... It is regretted that there are those who still refuse to recog-
nize the over-riding supremacy of the federal law.

"Our churches which are ordained by God and claim to be the
houses of all people, foster segregation of the races to the point of
making Sunday the most segregated day of the week.

The declaration protested seven areas of "inequalities and injustices
in Atlanta and Georgia education, housing, jobs, voting, hospitals,
law enforcement, movies, concerts, and restaurants."

Vandiver Criticizes "Paid" Ad

Editor Note This is the text of Governor Vandiver 's Statement ivith
regard to the student appeal.

"I have read the 'paid advertisements' purporting to come from
'students of the six affiliated institutions forming the Atlanta Uni-
versity Center'.

"The statement was skillfully prepared.

"Obviously, it was not written by students.

"Regrettably, it had the same overtones which are usually found
in anti-American propaganda pieces.

"It did not sound like it was prepared in any Georgia school or
college; nor in fact, did it read like it was written even in this country.

"This left-wing statement is calculated to breed dissatisfaction, dis-
content, discord and evil.

"It is strange that this statement allegedly comes from a group
receiving opportunities not enjoyed by most young people of both
races.

"For nearly a decade now salaries for Georgia teachers of both
races have been equalized. New school plant facilities and school
transportation facilities for Negro children have been provided. In
many, many cases these buildings are better and more modern than
provided for white children. It should be borne in mind, too, that in
those states with mixed schools, Negro teachers lose out.

"Let it be further noted that white taxpayers are paying over 80
per cent of the bill for Negro students in Georgia.

"All Georgians are working diligently to increase and expand job
opportunities for all of our people. In this way, and in this way only,
can the standard of living and per capita income be raised to a level
comparable to that of sister states.

" 'The rights, privileges, and joys of life' in this country are limited
only by the imagination and capability of the individual and his will-
ingness to work for their attainment.

"White or colored, the individual must strive for opportunity and
acceptance in society. No group, acting through the use of any means,
plan, artifice or device can achieve these objectives through the use
of unorthodox and unacceptable methods. No group of persons utilizing
the so-called 'sit-downs' in defiance of the rights of every man to
conduct his business as he deems proper can accomplish anything in
defiance of the will and opinion of the great body of the people and
through infringement on the rights of the majority.

"All Georgians reject the implication and charge that our capital
city and our state is a land of inequality and injustice.

"In Atlanta, Georgia, there are more Negro property owners, more
bankers, more insurance executives, more doctors, more lawyers, more
real estate concerns, and more Negro school teachers and more col-
leges than in any city on the face of the earth."

"This is a graphic illustration of the total and complete falsity and
hypocrisy of the charges made in this irresponsible, 'so-called' paid
advertisement appearing in today's press.

"As governor of Georgia. I hereby call upon those who would cause
hatred, strife and discord in this state and the capital city thereof
to cease and desist in their efforts, which can do much harm to all
and can gain good for no one."

Clinic To Consider
Television Careers

The Atlanta Chapter of Amer-
ican Women in Radio and Televis-
ion will sponsor a Radio and
Television Clinic April 9 from
10:00 to 4:30 p.m. on careers in
that field which are open to college
graduates.

The Clinic will be held at WABE-
WETV, Educational Radio and
Television Center, 740 Bismarch
Road, N. E., Atlanta, Georgia.
Lunch will be available for 75
cents.

Anyone interested in attending
this Clinic should notify the Vo-
cational Office by April 1. Trans-
portation will be provided.

Action With Wisdom

"These are the times that try men's souls," wrote Thomas
Paine nearly two centuries ago.

Those were the days of a great political upheaval, of "the
shot heard round the world" which began a change in gov-
ernment which has continued from nation
to nation until even the natives of darkest
Africa have begun to demand the "inalien-
able rights" set forth by our founding fathers.

Today, however, we are witnessing one
of the greatest social revolutions of his-
tory. The Negro, who for centuries has
deferentially taken a back seat in society
and the affairs of the world, has decided
that he will no longer be patient and ac-
cept his lot. Now he wants full acceptance in both politics
and society.

This is hard on those of us who are white. Rarely do the
privileged relinquish their position gladly. White supremacy
is ideal for whites. We would be hyprocrites to deny it.

But like it or not, times are changing. Like the Indians of
Ghandi's time, Negroes all over the world are engaged in an
all out fight for their rights.

Until lately this has taken place in courts in the United
States. This winter, however, Negro college students in the
South, dissatisfied with the slowness of the changes, have
begun a drive to receive equal treatment at lunch counters
and now libraries.

Whether or not we like what they are doing, we as fellow
college students must admire their courage in carrying out
their convictions, although one might question the wisdom
of their action.

Nevertheless, we hope and pray that the campaign will
continue to be non-violent. Mob action, black or white,
can be dangerous and terrifying, particularly when the
atmosphere is as electrically charged as it is at this time.

The cross burnings in Alabama last Saturday are certainly
an evil omen.

If one could possibly remain detached, we would say that
these are thrilling times. Great changes are taking place
that will mould the future of the world.

As it is, this is a heart-rending, conscience-searing experi-
ence. We can only hope that the semblance of civil order can
be maintained. C.F.

Letter to the Editor

Senior Asks Student Body
To Consider Proper Titles

Dear Editor,

Contrary to that hypothesis
which we students have long acted
on, a doctor's degree is not a sex-
linked characteristic.

Inducing from those cases in
which "Dr." seems inseparable
from a professor's last name, we
have generalized to the extent
that we now seem automatically
to call all male members of the
faculty "Dr./' all female mem-
bers, Miss or Mrs. (or, more
often, an indistinguishable
"Miz!")

There are good reasons for our
correcting this habit. In some in-
stances this is an impolite dis-
crimination.

Moreover, since a college is
judged largely by the number of
faculty members having their
doctorates, our careless distribu-
tion of the title definitely labels
us as a "medieval girl's school."

In academic circles, it has long
been customary to refer to neither
the man nor the woman as "Dr."
Let's not defeat ourselves in
our struggle to emancipate
women!

When giving references, making
introductions, and ( please) mak-
ing out name tags, let's be con-
sistent with the academic policy:
it's Mr., Mrs., or Miss Faculty
Member.

Sincerely,
M.H.R.

Internationally Sp eaking

U. S. Faces Major Role
In World Trade Picture

By MARC I TOBEY

The position of the United States in international economic
affairs is a complex and a very important one.
Our role has been shaped by

forces of the past such as the re-
markable recovery of Western
Europe from
World War H
and the accele-
rated expansion
Of our economic
system as well as
the growth in
economic power
of the Soviet
Union.

Following the "dollar-shortage"
era, the most difficult problem
facing the United States, as far
as international economy was con-
cerned, was that of trade.

The trade agreements which we
vigorously put forward embodied
our beliefs that liberal trade poli-
cies were essential to free world
economic progress. Until recently,
however, other nations have clung
to their exchange controls and
severe quantitive import restric-
tions.

Today the problem of world
trade goes hand in hand with a
task which will require the com-
bined energies and talents of
the free world that of stimu-
lating the economic growth of
newly developed countries.
The decade which has just be-
gun will be marked with great

socio-economic revolutions in the
new independent areas of the free
world. These underprivileged peo-
ples are reaching out toward a
better life, for they have learned
they cannot enjoy their well
earned political freedom without
an adequate measure of economic
progress.

If this growth is encouraged,
however, other problems will pre-
sent themselves such as those
which will occur when these coun-
tries try to diversify their econ-
omy and gather surpluses. These
and others will only complicate
the already complex economy of
the world. Herein lies the chal-
lenge for the sixties.

In her role as leader of the free
world the United States has cer-
tain specific goals toward which
she is striving. If these goals can
be reached, the United States will
have met the economic challenge
of the sixties well. As stated by
our government they include the
following:

1. Redirecting the emerging

By NANCY BARRETT

Ever had an irresistable urge to release your vocal cords in the dining hall or have that
favorite faculty professor do one of his long assignments or replace that A.S.C. mug that got
chipped when it fell off the shelf in the bathroom? Hark, here's that grand opportunity!

To fulfill some of these "irre-
sistable urges," Student Govern-
ment is sponsoring "Suppressed
Desires Day" on Thursday, April
7.

On this day, students will have
the privilege of wearing bermudas,
calling professors by their first
name and singing in the dining
hall.

Thursday will also not count as
a social engagement.

Chapel on Thursday will be a
take-off on the faculty entitled
"Extravaganza." Admission for
the performance will be $1.00.
Slave Sale

spotlight on Thursday night at

the entire event. It has been re-
vealed, however, that general ad-
mission will be $1.50, seats in the
reserved section, $2.00.

Tickets will be sold in the mail-

C. A. Will Interpret Holy Week Theme
Through Focus On Contemporary Faith

By JACKIE DAY

"Is it nothing to you, all you that pass by?" This question, asked by Jeremiah in Lamen-
tations 1:12, will be the theme of Holy Week on the Agnes Scott campus. During the week
of April 11 to 17, it will be emphasized and interpreted in chapel programs, morning
watches, and vespers.

day, morning watches will be led
at 8:00* a.m. in the small parlor
of Walters dormitory.

These watches will interpret the
scriptural theme of the week
through devotions given by Pat
Flythe, Esther Thomas, Margaret
Van Deman, and Lisa Ambrose.

The talks for these morning
watches are: on Tuesday, "Is it
nothing Christ's death?"; Wed-
nesday, "Is it nothing to you His
death in relation to you?"; Thurs-
day, "Is it nothing to you, all of
you our relation with others?":
Friday, "Is it nothing to you, all
of you that pass by? why do our
lives not show the Christian
ideals?"

Chapels, Vespers

Tuesday and Thursday mornings
chapel devotions will be given re-
spectively by Miss Mary Boney,
associate Bible professor, and by
Dr. Merle Patterson of Druid Hills
Presbyterian church.

The worship service on Friday
will be conducted by Diane Foster

of Christ," emphasizing the idea of
Christ in the twentieth century-

Church"; Miss Gary on Wednesday

on the Street"; and on Thursday

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 6, 1960

Intellectual Snobs?

Snobbery sheer snobbery! we indignantly cry. How blind
and narrow the Agnes Scott snob can be. Often she misses
the best that life can hold.

This outraged roar is the result of eaves-
dropping throughout the year. It seems that
there is a definite element in the college
which rebels against the life of a woman in
American society.

The feeling exists that the average
housewife is a nincompoop who is solely
absorbed in her little darlings, golf, bridge,
the garden club, PTA, women of the
church, and Ladies Home Journal. Her in-
tellectual life is deplored. She doesn't read! ane aoesn i
think! "And that's the last thing we want to be," they add,
self-righteously.
First, let us stress that we admire the courage and stamina
and intellectual attainment of the single woman, regardless
of her occupation. But, nevertheless, we deplore the stero-
type of the harried housewife, the cluttered clubwoman.

Certainly our life in college is an intellectually stimulating
one. We love it and will cherish the memories.

But we feel that the college woman of today is mistaken
and unfair in her antagonism to the "bourgeois life."
After all, we are what we make ourselves. If we are willing
to let our minds deteriorate to the mass media level, there
is no one to blame but ourselves. Agnes Scott College
spends four years trying to lift our minds and our tastes.
Furthermore, there is a certain quiet dignity and excite-
ment to the life of a wife and mother.

Perhaps she may not write a book or discover the cure for
cancer, but she has the opportunity to bring up children who
will be the leaders of tomorrow, to maintain a home with
her own high standards of taste, intellect, and morals, to
exercise her mind in taking seriously her civic responsibili-
ties. Her life, her home, her community, her children will be
to a large extent what she makes of them.
How dare anyone call that trivial! C.F.

Policy Stand Shows Concern

Visitors to this college often comment on the unique
atmosphere which pervades the campus and seems to call
forth the best that is in every individual here

We who are closest to Agnes Scott know j
that the very heart of this spirit is the rap- j
port which exists between the students and j
those who are here to guide them through I
four years of intellectual and social develop- \
ment.

Even as we, the students, revere the
members of the faculty and administration
for their wisdom and their factual knowl-
edge, they credit us with sound, mature
judgment and superior intelligence. Many of us count mem-
bers of the faculty and administration among our closest
friends.

They, in turn, are genuinely concerned for our develop-
ment as individuals, outside the classroom as well as within.

Last week we were once again reminded of this fortunate
situation when Dr. Alston very frankly presented the care-
fully reasoned position of the administration on the apart-
ment policy.

Student requests for a modification of the policy had not
been turned aside with a flat denial. Rather Dr. Alston
and a committee carefully and extensively considered the
student request and only after an investigation of the facts
was it denied.

That Dr. Alston personally went to great lengths to inter-
view around seventy people on the subject and that, having
reached a decision, he felt it necessary to explain that de-
cision to the students indicates his respect for their proposal.

Having heard Dr. Alston's impressive presentation, we are
whole-heartedly in accord with the decision of the commit-
tee.

Moreover, we are very grateful to Dr. Alston and to his
committee for the careful attention and consideration with
which they treated our request. It is but one manifestation of
the "ties that bind" this college community into an integrated
congenial whole. S.A.C.

Scottie Becomes Scot;
Sourdough Sal Writes

Ed. note: While every-day Scotties attend classes on the Decatur
campus, otJiers of our number have been in far more exotic places, i.e.,
Edinburgh, Scotland, and Fairbanks, Alaska. Alice Frazer mill return
in the fall to join the Class of 1961. Sally Smith Howard of the present
Senior Class, former CJiairman of Lecture Association and member of
Who's Who, has joined her husband at Ladd Air Force Base in Fair-
banks, Alaska. Her sister, Jo Allison, is a sophomore here.

HoJv Week Begins
With Organ Music

"Organ Music for Holy Week," a
program to be given by the Agnes
Scott College Guild Student Group
for the Atlanta Chapter, American
Guild of Organists, has been
planned as a part of the college
community's observance of Holy
Week.

The program will be given Mon-
day, April 11, at 8:00 p.m. It will
include appropriate selections un-
der the three divisions of Easter,
Palm Sunday, and Passion. Dean
C. Benton Kline will pronounce the
invocation and benediction.

in frozen Alaska, 6,000 miles away
from and five hours behind you
way down in Georgia; and truly,
it is hard for me to believe! But,
I like it better everyday, for Alas-
1 1 ka is so new, so completely dif-
ferent, and so exciting!

On January 26, almost a month
after you all began Winter Quar-
ter classes at Agnes Scott, I began
classes at the University of Alaska.
Gee! I had that "Freshman Fright"
all during orientation and the first
few days of classes!

The first time I saw the Uni-
versity, I was surprised at the
lovely location and beautiful build-
ings. I guess I must have expected
igloos and quonset huts out on ice!

At present there are about 800
students at the University which
makes it not much larger than
Agnes Scott. The student body is
composed of all ages and all kinds
of people. The ages range from 17
t0 75 _ in fact, until someone
began talking in front of the class,
it was difficult to decide who was
the professor!

Dear Scotties,

The University of Edinburgh is
surprisingly different from Agnes
Scott; yet I have become so
accustomed to the university life
here that the differences are no
longer so obvious.

The student body here has an
amazingly cosmopolitan nature
with nearly every country in the
world represented.

starts at the Fine Art Cinema.
Kay Kendall and Yul Brynner star
in the sparkling comedy. Unique
plot and witty dialogue form a
hilarious film.

"Chance Meeting" continues at
the Art. The mystery involves
Scotland Yard, and is treated with
typical British frankness.

"Rose Tattoo"
Theatre Atlanta presents the
stirring drama, "The Rose Tattoo."
Tennessee Williams again gives his
stark portrait of human emotions
a southern setting.

Curtain time is 8:30 p.m.. April
1 through 9.

The Atlanta Art Museum brings
three varied and excellent shows
to its galleries. The Modigliani
exhibit includes many paintings by
the almost legendary Paris artist.
Durer Prints
The works of Albrecht Durer,
one of Germany's greatest print -
makers, will be shown through
April 28.

Appearing among others is his
famous "Praying Hands."

The Arne Wolf exhibit illus-
trates recent trends in art. His
paintings are experiments in line
and perspective. There is also a
collection of woodcuts illustrating
poems by the contemporary Span-
ish artist, Lorca.

Graphic designs indicate modern
poster and advertising techniques.
Mr. Wolfe has won two interna-
tional poster competitions. His
advertisements appear in Ameri-
can and German magazines.

Internationally Speaking

United States, USSR Differ
In Foreign Policy Objectives

MARCI TOBEY

One of the most fundamental questions confronting the
world today is, "Can a democratic society successfully com-
pete in diplomacy with a totalitarian, centrally controlled
society which is able to marshal its total resources in sup-
port of its foreign policy objectives?"
An immediate answer might be | lial to their economy.

that the United States can hardly
keep step with a
country who has
in a little more
than forty years
changed from a
c o m p aratively
backward agri-
cultural country
to the second
ranking industri-
al nation in the world. Every facet
of this regimented society eco-
nomic, scientific, social, cultural
and psychological as well as
political and military is at the
constant disposal of Soviet diplo-
macy.

Mr. Khrushchev's ability to
make independent decisions, for
example, enables him to move
swiftly in offering guns and
grain to carefully selected coun-
tries in order to reap maximum
political advantage.
The Soviet Union can extend
long term, low interest loans and
can buy up surpluses whether or
not these transactions are essen-

Thus it is that a free society
which must constantly be respon-
sive to the pressures of public
opinion, cannot move with the
speed and monolithic force of a
totalitarian state.

However, free societies have
invariably proved more resilient,
creative and enduring than those
under the deadening hand of dic-
tatorship.
Even in comparison with the
U.S.S.R., the United States has
achieved the greatest industrial
capacity and the highest standard
of living known to man.

We have built a defense estab-
lishment which protects us and the
I free world against the threat of
; surprise attack.

In cooperation with other free
nations, the United States has de-
veloped a system of collective se-
curity arrangements which serve
as a formidable deterrent to Com-
munist aggression anywhere.

The handicaps of freedom in
this evaluation are therefore

Walterites Spend Free Hours
With Cookies, Candy, Cokes

By BETH CRAWFORD

While contemplating the direful academic aspect of spring
quarter, my roommate and I determined to locate some
leisure time in which to (pardon the expression) study.

Being a math major, she devised

a graph to illustrate that there
are 25 odd hours of free time in
the weekly schedule of every Scott
0rl. T quickly eliminated myself
croin being typical.

Upon further investigation of
the disappearance of extra hours
it was our mutual conclusion that
they are employed in the simple
process of eating.

Investigating Committee

Deciding that we must get to
the bottom of the eating mania on
campus, a hall committee began
to probe into the groundworks
of the institution of nourishment.

Until the eating status took the
headmost position in my mind, I
didn't even realize that in the
depths of a movie theater, a group
of Agnes Scott young ladies pays
far more attention to hunger
pangs than to any sensation
attributed to a Newman or
Sinatra.

Eyes are more frequently di-
rected into a box of popcorn (in
order to see whether a neighbor
has scooped out more than her
share) than into an intimate love
scene.

On campus, sources of nourish-
ment, the pause that refreshes,

Hoping to match the class of '10's record, the class of 1959 returns
for its first anniversary. Seated, left to right: Judy Harrold, Pauline
Winslow Gregory, Harriet Harrill Tisinger, Frances Broom, Peggy
Brit Trent, and India Clark Benton; standing: Barbara Varner
Willoughby.

such as the coke machine, offered
another field for observation. The
machines located on this campus
being rather elderly and having
suffered the kicks, slaps, and
verbal abuse of many a hurried
change seeker, take one full min-
ute to cough up their products.

Adding up the time necessary
to locate a deposit, an interval in
which one vacilates between Coca-
Cola and Pepsi Cola, and seven
minutes sipping time, one con-
cludes that 15 minutes are con-
sumed along with each bottled
beverage.

At two of these indulgences a
day, one may spend up to 210
minutes per week taking the pause
that refreshes.

Dormitory Eats
The committee survey would
have been lacking in accuracy if
it had failed to include a discourse
on the goings-on in the inner sanc-
tum of the dorm. Here the real
foundations of eating are laid.

It is only in the privacy of a
room that one sees the underbed
supply depot: cartons of Mom's
toll house cookies, a half-empty
box of candy, and cans of the ever
popular tomato soup.

From the edge of this bed to
the nearby "community" kitchen
one may easily follow a trail of
smudged chocolate drops that fell
cut of the toll house cookies.

Picture the refrigerator where
exciting prospects have led trem-
bling hands to spill all sorts of
goodies on the floor.

An examination of its contents
revealed a dried orchid corsage,
seven cups of melted ice cream,
cheese spreads, lemonade, and an
interesting box with "poison"
neatly written on the top.

Verdict

After the nature of the problem
relating to the whereabouts of
time for study confronted our
committee, we decided to culmi-
nate our investigation with a pizza
party.

I can almost smell the hot
golden cheese, the pepperoni, the
luscious red sauce. I think I'll take
my books and go to the Grill to
study.

Volleyball/Tenms Tourney
Head A.A.'s Spring Sports

By SYLVIA SAXON

With the campus campaign, spring elections and a jam-
packed sports calendar, this quarter will be about as full as
any the school has ever had. There are myriad possibilities
for sports activities: volleyball, Softball, swimming and
tennis, to name only a few.

Participation in volleyball has
been off, but perhaps this has been
due to so many
other activities.
So far no class
has had enough
to make up a
team.

With the first
games of the sea-
son beginning
this Friday it is
imperative that more people come
out for the teams. The seniors,
two-time champions, are the pre-
season favorites, but any team is
capable of taking the title.
Softball

Softball will open the second
half of the season. Since the game
was last offered in '57, it is hard
to make adequate predictions.

The seniors were winners of the
tourney that year, so they are
pre-season favorites in this sport
also. However, they do not have
the same winning nucleus, and
for that reason the tournament
will be more or less a toss-up.

The tennis tournament is about
to get under way. Peggy Mitchell,
Athletic Association tennis man-
ager, urges that all participants
hurry and get their matches
played. Also, anyone wishing to
try-out for the tennis club should
contact her so that the proper ar-
rangements can be made.

'Devil To Pay Reveals Faculty
In Original Stage Production

After an all-out effort to produce the most sensational
stage hit of the season, the Agnes Scott faculty is ready to
present 'The Devil to Pay." The masterpiece will be staged
in Presser Hall, 8:30 p.m., April 9.

mysterious groupings referred to

Under the direction of Miss Ro-
berta Winter, an enormous cast
has worked diligently to perfect
this drama in five scenes, the
theme of which remains a well-
guarded secret.

From what information can be
gleaned, it appears that there
is not one star but many; the
production employs in some way
every member of the faculty.
The first scene features Misses
Carrie Scandrett, Laura Steele,
Annie May Smith and Messrs.
Kline, Rogers, McNair, Robin-
son, and Miller.
Mr. Cornelius and Mr. Garber
star in the second scene, with
Anne Rivers Payne, Mr. Hudson,
and Miss Fox playing the support-
ing roles. Mr. McDowell, Miss
Gaylord, and Mr. Miller will domi-
nate the third scene, with such a
host of smaller roles woven in as
to promise a crowded stage.

Scene the fourth boasts as leads
Miss Chloe Steele, Miss Virginia
Allen and Mr. Frierson. Backing
them up is some sort of large
chorus.

In the fifth scene Misses Tal-
madge, Manuel, Glick, and Zenn
and M. Thomas will lead; fifteen
others participate in this scene in

life is centered around the de-
partmental societies and clubs
which range from the Tiddly
Winks Club (honest!) to the
Mountain Climbers Association.

Though there is no unifying
force, the student body is remark-
ably united in its projects such as
the World Refugee campaign and
the Charities Week drive in late
spring.

The educational system here re-
quires an almost entirely different
method of study.

Each course holds three lectures
a week and a weekly tutorial
composed of about six students
and a member of the staff. The
lectures are so large that tutorials
are the nucleus of our courses.

There are no set texts for most
courses, though a list of required
books is posted for each subject.
We are exposed to contradictory
positions in each field and have
to derive our conclusions from our
source reading.

Since most of the university
hostels are filled to overflowing,
the majority of students, like my-
self, live in "digs," or private
homes approved by the university.

It took me a little while to get
used to a two-mile bus ride (more
often a walk) to my first classes!
It has also taken me a while to
get used to one bath a week!

At Christmas I joined a student
group for two weeks in Austria
learning to ski.

During the holidays I plan to
spend Easter in Italy, and this
summer, cycle through the British
Isles. Love,

26 Students Receive Bids
To 1960-61 Study Program

Twenty-six juniors representing nine departments have
been invited to do independent study during the 1960-61 sess-
ion, Dean of the Faculty C- Benton Kline, Jr., has announced.

Those who are eligible as of
April 1960 are as follows:

Nancy Batson and Joan Byrd,
art majors; Anne Broad, biology;
Nina Marable, Virginia Philip,
Page Smith, and Caroline Thomas,
Chemistry; Mary Ann McSwain
Antley, Anne Newsome, and Mary
Ware, English.

Others are French majors Pame-
la Bevier, Judith Clark Brandeis,
and Lafon Zimmerman; History
majors Sally Bryan, Patricia
Holmes, Harriet Smith, and Patri-
cia Walker, history and potitical
science.

Math Majors

Margaret Bullock, Faith Chao,
Mary Jim Clark, Jane Henderson,
Mildred Love, and Charme Robin-
son are the mathematics majors
invited to participate in the pro-
gram.

Philosophy major Jean Corbett
and psychology majors Juanita

Juarez and Joyce Seay complete
this list.

The object of the program of
independent study at Agnes Scott
is to give to superior students the
opportunity to explore for them-
selves some field of intellectual
or artistic interest and to pro-
duce independently some piece of
work connected with it.

Requirements of Program

The program is open to all stu-
dents who have a B average by
the end of the winter quarter of
the junior year. The program may
be undertaken for three, four or
five hours per quarter, with a
minimum total of three and a
maximum of ten.

To graduate with high honors
a student must have pursued in-
dependent study for at least six
hours.

Campaign Total AtVJeeks End
Represents Four-fifths of Goal

A total of $64,773, representing 86 per cent of the $75,000
goal, is shown in a Monday evening report on the campus
campaign-

As the first week of the cam- $1,000 challenge gift for the

paign neared its end, the faculty
and staff led with contributions
amounting to $39,316. Among the
classes sophomores and seniors
were nearly tied, having pledged
$7,412 and S7.395, respectively.
At this time 65 per cent of
the seniors had pledged, as
compared with 36 per cent of
the sophomores.
Thirty-seven per cent of the
freshmen had contributed $5,430,
and 39 per cent of the juniors
followed with $5,220.

According to these statistics the

class with the largest total dollar
volumne would go to the sopho-
more class; the highest percent-
age of share gifts would win the
second $1,000 challenge for the
junior class. The sophomores at
this time had contributed the
largest single gift.

Contributions from campus
organizations include $205 from
Athletic Association's Slave
Sale, $515 from Student Gov.
ernment's Suppressed Desires
Day, and $987 from the Faculty
Revue.

Parting Is Such . . .

We humans are strange creatures. We yearn for something,
yet when we get it, we begin muttering under our breath
about our hard lot. But when the time comes to relinquish
our burden, we the editorial we, at any rate act as^ though
our only child were on his deathbed.

Elections are over. The king is dead, long
live the king.

Naturally, we feel that there is so much
more that could be said about the situation
in South Africa, about the presidential can-
didates, about the campus campaign, about
life, literature, and the arts, as well as
science, politics, ethics, and religion. And so
on ad infinitum. But it will be glorious to
let some other poor mortal ponder the world situation in
print, weekly!

Kudos to the loyal, hardworking staff that had to put up
with the eccentricities of their editor. Warm thanks to Fred
and his crew down at the composing room. They have shep-
herded us through innumerable trials and errors.

Sweet words of apprecition also go to the administration,
faculty and the general public (i. e., the students) who have
given support and occasionally shown evidence of having
read "the successor to The New York Times. "

Then there are our much beloved advertisers, without
whose almighty dollar the presses could not have rolled.

With all due respect to Shakespeare and Milton, our part-
ing words are: f

This rough magic I here abjure.

I can fly, or I can run quickly to the green earth's end . . .
But now my task is smoothly done,

"And from thence can soar as soon, to the corners of the
Moon." C. F.

Cheers, Our Faculty!

How blind we have been!

Our nrofessors and administrators, who have always been
revered from near and afar, have revealed
their inner selves through the media of
dramatics in other words, the Faculty
Revue.

Their latent talents, which vary from hula
dancing to combo tactics, indicate that there
are other previously unseen sides to academic
life.

The scope of the production was stragger-

ing from the red depths of the earth to the

craggy heights of the moon. In this width and breadth we saw
both low and high comedy in loaded lines and punchy pro-
grams.

But, if we can stop laughing and look at the event through
serious eyes, we are aware of the tremendous spirit with
which the faculty executed the play, the successful product
of unknown amounts of time and work.

The focusing of both faculty and students enthusiasm
into a common campaign effort can take the ASC-75 rocket
to its destination. We will not only reach the moon, but, per-
haps start back again. M. J. M.

the conference
tables or the con-
fusion that rival
faiths competing
for allegiance of
all peoples bring
is evidence enough of the inse-
curity characteristic of this chang-
ing world.

But people regardless of their
time have always searched for a
constant ideal with specified
goals which will make order out
of chaos. In I960, two definite
ideologies with which people
may become associated have
presented themselves.
One is a faith with political
power, a definite program, and a
rigid and effective discipline.

The other with a vision of an
eternal kingdom is known as
Christianity. It is a faith with a
God, powerful and* loving, who
created man in His own image.

What will be the result of the
changes taking place in our world
today? The answer to this quest-
ion depends more than anything
else upon the outcome of the pre-
sent struggle between Christianity
and Communism.

We can live under a political
dictatorship with a communist
economy, with no god but the
state, and with no respect for
the individual except as he is de-
voted to the work of his govern-
ment.

On the other had we can live
under a government which holds
the principles of Christianity
sacred. We can be citizens of a

LETTER TO EDITOR

Students Committee
Lauds 'Devil to Pay #

Dear Editor:

To the administration, faculty,
and staff of our college should go
our warmest thanks and congra-
tulations for Saturday night's per-
formance, "The Devil to Pay"

From the first chords of "Teen
Angel" to the last notes of the
triumphant recessional, we were
thoroughly entertained. And in the
midst of the hilarity, we felt a
deeper note in our renewed aware-
ness of the spirit of unity which
pervades our campus.

From our recognition of the time
and effort that went into the Re-
vue, and of the spirit in which
it was done, we received yet one
more evidence of the loyalty and
enthusiasm "The Management" has
for our college.

The lead each member of the
faculty, staff, and administration
has taken in the generous giving
of time and talent (and money!)
to the campaign is surely a chal-
lenge to all of us who admire their
EVERY contribution to our life
here.

Sincerely,

The Student Committee
of the Campus Campaign.

As 'Gazebo' Stars Ford

Comedy parallels the lighter
touch of spring on the entertain-
ment scene.

Shelley Berman, well-known
comedian in the "sick" style,
is scheduled to appear at the Tow-
er Theatre April 23.

His past enga-
gements have in-
cluded San Fran-
cisco's "The Hun-
gry i," and New
York's "Blue An-
gel." He has also
appeared on the
Steve Allen and
Jack Paar televi-
sion shows.

The program
will also include a musical attrac-
tion. Tickets are available at the
box office.

Movies About Town

"The Gazebo" opens at the Rial-
to. Glen Ford stars as a T.V. mys-
tery writer trying to get rid of the
blackmailer of his actress-wife,
Debbie Reynolds.

The only place to dispose of the
body is the gazebo, a summer pa-
vilion, that is due to be cemented
over the next day. All events con-
tribute to a macaber comedy.

At the Fox, "A Visit to a Small
Planet" stars Jerry Lewis. He pays
a visit to the earth as an awol
spaceman. The resulting comedy
of situations is of the typical Lewis
brand.

Long-running "Ben Hur" con-
tinues at the Roxy. It is now the

subject for discussion will be dis-
armament and how it can be ac-
complished effectively.

The session will open at 9 a.m.
with a keynote address by a well-
known Atlanta citizen.

Ten different schools will be re-
presented on the Security Council,
including Agnes Scott.

Those interested in going should

Cross Announces Changes
In Organization, Policy

As part of a general reorganiza-
tion, Lecture Committee has taken
on the new responsibility of coor-
dinating all lectures on campus,
announced Mary Park Cross, stud-
ent chairman of the Association.

In addition to sponsoring three
or four well known lecturers each
year, the members of the associa-
tion will direct the publicity and
act as hostesses for the various
"miscellaneous" speakers who
come to the college, such as Uni-
versity Center lecturers or guests
of the departments.

The structure of the organiza-
tion has also been changed in
order to increase its efficiency.

The number of students elected
to the Committee has bee re-
duced from eleven to seven.

Formerly there were two repre-
sentatives from each class and
three officers; now there are only
two sophomores, two juniors, and
three seniors, including the three
officers.

Miss Mary Boney has been ap-
pointed faculty chairman of the
Committee, replacing Miss Mild-
red Mell who retires this spring.

Economist's Interests Extend
To Gardening, Civic Activities

By BETH CRAWFORD

Miss Mildred Mell, professor at Agnes Scott for 22 years,
enjoys combining the varied activities of teaching economics
and sociology, flower gardening, and conversing with such
well-known personalities as Madama Pandit, Sir John
Gielgud, Robert Frost, and Katherine Anne Porter.

1 uate work at the University of
Georgia, and administration work
at Shorter College, she completed
her PhD., which she received from
the University of North Carolina
in 1938.

In the fall of that year Miss
Mell came to Agnes Scott in her
present position as a professor of
economics and sociology.

Lecture Association Chairman
In discussing her seven year
chairmanship of Lecture Associa-
tion, Miss Mell says that "It has
been a most satisfying experience/'
In addition to her school acti-
vities, Miss Mell has participated
in the undertakings of the Family
Service Agency, The Urban Lea-
gue, and the League of Women
Voters which she joined in the
twenties. Miss Mell's love of flow-
er-growing affords her spare mo-
ments at home special pleasure.

After retiring, Miss Mell intends
to remain at her home in Decatur,
perhaps teaching some more, and
doing all the gardening she wants.

Miss Mell will retire this year
but she intends to continue her
activities in these fields of inter-
est.

Miss Mell relates that her inter-
est in economics was stimulated by
her father, a banker who "talked
banking."

After undergraduate study at
the University of Wisconsin, grad-

Miss Cleo Herron was the first
faculty chairman, and Miss Cather-
ine Torrance, Miss Emma Mac
Laney, and Miss Mildred Mell have
been the successive faculty chair-
men.

The student chairman is elected
each year by the student body.
During the past forty years,
Lecture Committee has brought
many distinguished figures to
the campus. Vachel Lindsay,
Louis Untermeyer, Edna St. Vin-
cent Millay, and Carl Sandburg
are some of the poets who have
visited the community.
Robert Frost, who has become a
tradition at Agnes Scott, presents
one of the lectures in the series
each year.

Authors Thornton Wilder and
John Erskine appeared on the pro-
gram in the 1930's. Mr. Wilder
made two visits to the campus.
Pearl Buck spoke on "Backgrounds
of Understanding" during the 1950-
51 session.

Theater lovers over the years
have seen Lecture Association
bring such performers as the Abbey
Theater (Irish Players), the Bar-
ter Theater of Virginia, the Chekh-
off Players, and Players Incorpor-
ated. A unique production of Dr.
Faustus was given by the Braun-
schweig theater; the stars of this
German group were marionettes.
Dr. Edgar Goodspeed and
Reinhold Neibuhr are noted theo-
logians who have been brought
to the campus by Lecture Asso-
ciation. "Appreciation of Con-
temporary Music" was the sub-
ject composer Aaron Copland
chose for his evening at Scott.
An illustrated lecture on "The
Ballet As It Is Today" was given
by dancer George Chaffee in the
late 1940's.

'Eloise/ Juniors Top Freshmen
As Sophomores Edge Seniors

By Nancie Barr

Friday's games opened the volleyball season with a bang.
The first game saw the slow-starting juniors surge ahead to
a 34 to 17 victory over the freshmen.

The sophs triumphed over the
seniors 38 to 32 in the second
game.

The junior
team seemed a
little rusty dur-
ing the first
three or four
minutes. How-
ever, with spiker
Caroline S i m-
mons and back
court players
Pam Sylvester, Sarah Kelso, and
Ann Peagler, the tide turned fair-
ly soon.

In their first showing the
freshmen team brought forth
such players as Beth Barnett,
Lelia Jones and Kay Stapleton.
We should be hearing a lot from
them in the future.
The second game was a closer
contest with each team holding its
own. Dot Porcher was high scorer
for the sophs and Genie McLemore
also played well.

Seniors Sylvia Saxon and Kath-
erine John helped keep their team
well in the running throughout
the contest.

Play was not the only enter-
tainment.

"Eloise" (Mrs. Slave-for-a-
day Pepperdene) came to cheer
juniors on to victory. With
"Eloise" in her pretty yellow
skirt and bow ribbon watching
every play, the frosh did not
have a chance.

Caroline Askew, A. A. Volleyball
Manager, has named as her class
managers; Jill Imray, senior,
Nancie Barr, junior, Doris Sand-
ers, sophomore, and Anna Belle
Freeman, freshmen. I speak for all
the managers in saying that the
teams need support from their
classes.

Sylvia Saxon won the 1960 Bad-

Pam Sylvester in the finals, 11-3,
11-3. The match was a hotly con-
tested affair with neither player
able to score for the first five min-
utes of the first game.

After that period, however, Sax-
on caught fire and put the match
away. This concluded a very suc-
cessful tournament, which was full
of exciting and close played
matches.

The Doubles Tourney finals are
due to be played this week. Sylvia
Saxon and Peggy Mitchell have
progressed to the finals and are
to play the winner of the Kelso-

Loyalty, Generosity, Faith Are
Rocket Fuel's Magic Ingredients

The overwhelming success of the Campus Campaign has
exceeded the hopes of the entire campus community as well
as those of the Steering Committee. The universal image of
rocketing past a $75,000 goal is not without its metaphorical
vision.

For with this loyalty as the foundation, we can expect
increased interest from alumnae and other
friends of the college. The campus, by hav-
ing helped itself first, can inspire the help of
others in all parts of the United States.

According to Dr. Alston, one of the first
facts to be mentioned at each area dinner
will be the unusual success of the Campus
Campaign. As the Campaign extends, the
community in a very real way will be par-
ticipating in something larger.

The extraordinary generosity of the faculty is a signifi-
cant indication of their loyalty to Agnes Scott and her stu-
dents. The students' gifts are an expression of their desire
to have a share in Agnes Scott's future.

The success of our united effort is a tribute to each of us
individually. It is this loyalty and faith which constitutes
Agnes Scott's "vision of greatness." It is this "vision of
greatness" which gives Agnes Scott her role of real im-
portance in the future of education. E.T.

Letters to the Editor

Students Urge Creativity;

To the Editor:

developing a discriminating response to the fine arts.

After Seven

Festival Provides Opportunity
For Merging Of Campus Arts

Three years ago Agnes Scott presented her first Fine Arts
Festival a culmination of the efforts of the Art, English,
Music and Physical Education Departments as well as
Aurora, Blackfriars., Dance Group, May Day and Music Club.

We hope that such an endeavor will be repeated nfext
year and that it will become a tradition at
Agnes Scott.

In an atmosphere where we often find
ourselves far too apathetic, the Fine Arts
Festival offers an opportunity for con-
structive critical thought and creative ex-
pression.

The Fine Arts Festival would enable a
number of organizations to devote their time,
effort, and money to the preparation and
presentation of a larger program than would be possible for
any single organization to offer.

Such a program would also afford an opportunity for stu-
dents to talk informally with literary, dramatic and art
critics a privilege which is not often possible amidst a
myriad of lecturers who appear on the campus during the
year.

Furthermore, we feel that it is an occasion when the
various arts may be seen in proximity to one another,
thus achieving a broader scope.

However, we must evaluate the program to determine if it
is necessary and good and to question whether or not we
are willing to devote many months to planning, practicing
and persevering in order to achieve a cooperative and co-
ordinated program. N.B.

Frontier Drama
Plays At Loew's

By ELLEN MIDDLEBROOKS

The freshness of spring has in-
vaded the entertainment world as
the theaters offer two new films
this week designed to please a
variety of tastes.

A new frontier drama, "The
Unforgiven" is featured at Loew's.
Emphasis is put on character, and
the actors. Audrey Hepburn, Burt
Lancaster, Lillian Gish and Charles
Bickford bring all their talents to
bear.

The plot involves the tension
that arises when it is discovered
that a girl thought to be white is
actually Indian. The exquisite color
photography and believable dia-
logue make this a classic among
Westerns.

Science - Fiction

For the science-fiction fans "The
Angry Red Planet" is currently
playing at the Paramount. The
hero of this one is a giant bat-rat-
pider creature discovered on man's
first exploratory mission to Mars.

Les Tremayne, Gerald Mohr
and Nora Hayden are the space
travelers.

Shelly Berman

Don't forget Shelley Berman's
engagement at the Tower on April
23. This is Berman's first to the
South, and the Tower anticipates
a sell-out.

Good seats are still available
for the early performance.

cern with art criticism, we neg
lect the creative experience.
We believe that, rather than
stifle, criticism should stimu-
late creativity. Three years ago
the Arts Festival successfully
evoked this creative response
from the student body.
Embracing all the arts both
creatively and critically, it
brought outstanding craftsmen to
the campus. The Festival engaged
the enthusiasm and effort of the
entire community.

The original plans called for
recurring Festivals, at intervals
no greater than three years
length.

We believe that this was a
sound judgment in view of the
growing apathy and diminishing
creativity on campus.

It is imperative that this idea
go beyond the small group ex-
pressing here a deep concern for
the Festival.

We therefore open the idea to
the student body for consideration
and action.

Campaign

To the Editor:

I would like to thank publicly
those people whose time and ef-
fort made the Campus Campaign
an outstanding achievement.

Without the student solicitors,
class chairmen, members of the
steering committee, faculty and
board project chairmen, and the
administration, we could not have
over-achieved our goal.

Miss Wilburn's leadership was
of inestimable value, and the re-
sponse of class publicity chairmen
and the entire campus community
was outstanding.

Our particular thanks are due
Mr. French, whose management
gave us guidance and whose in-
spiration spurred our efforts.
Gratefully, /
Mary Hart Richardson.

Jazz Group

To the Editor:

A new group is being formed on
campus to sing folk songs, jazz,
and all types of popular music.

The group is open to everyone
who can sing or play an instal-
ment: bongo and conga drums,
ukelele, or guitar.

Those interested should drop a
card to Jane Kelley, Box 73, and
watch the bulletin board for fur-
ther announcements.

Thank you,
Jane Kelley.

By HARRIET SMITH

Like death and taxes, the weather has remained one of
the inevitable forces over which man has no control. Now
there is hope that within a decade man will not only be
capable of predicting weather conditions with complete
accuracy, but will be within range of actually modifying or
controlling the weather.

The day may be imminent

hurricane disasters will be a

Military implications have al-

mittee that "abundant patience"
has been their reward for months

uring.

Cast

The cast of Electra reflects the
enthusiasm that has enabled them
to maintain a six hour a week
rehearsal schedule.

What does being in this play
mean to the participants? The
answer may lie in a "realization
of the depths to which human
emotion may reach" and in a
"sharing of imaginations among
the actors" in bringing their
characters alive.

Miss Winter, director of the
cast, emphasizes the personal
creativity of each student in in-
corporating into the technical as-
pects of diction, posture, and
basic stage movement, an image
of herself in the situations she
portrays.

Electra, a saga of revenge, will
be one of the largest productions
ever attempted at Agnes Scott.
The culmination of this joint
effort should be a memorable ex-
perience for the audience.

Munich, Paris, Edinburgh Lure
Four Students To Study Abroad

By BETH CRAWFORD

Next fall four Agnes Scott students will arrive in
Europe to spend their junior year. Nelia Adams and Sue
Amidon will travel to the University of Munich in Germany.
Ann Hershberger will be in Paris at the Sorbonne, and Edith
Hanna will study at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Nelia Adams, a chemistry ma-'

jor, is particularly excited about
studying among a people who are
traditionally "very enthusiastic
about science." She will be doing
experiments in a building devoted
entirely to organic chemistry.

Munich as a center of classical
music also interests Nelia. She
hopes to converse with the people
about their musical tastes and to
learn about their social amuse-
ments.

She is concerned about her
ability to speak the language, but
since the prospects of the trip
have led her to "dream in Ger-
man," any language problem will
be short-lived.

Sue Amidon

Sue Amidon has been thinking
about a trip to Germany since her
high school days.

In Munich Sue will study Ger-
man drama and literature, his-
tory of art, and psychology. There
will be no papers or tests until
the end of the semester, and best
of all ,in very cold wether girls
may wear ski pants to class.

During the semester break be-
tween February and April, Sue
hopes to tour Russia. She plans
a boat trip down the Rhine dur-
ing the time of grape harvesting
this is also the time of free
samples.

North Fulton High Singers
Will Give Chapel Concert

By MILDRED LOVE

The North Fulton Special Choir, under the direction of
Mr. Robert S. Lowrance, will present the chapel program on
Tuesday, May 3.

Mr. Robert Lowrance is shown with the members of the North
Fulton Special Choir who appeared in European concerts last year.
The choir has received praise from international critics.

The program will include Hin-

Drum," and Glen H. Woods' "Deep
Bell," a contemporary work writ-
ten in organum.

Approximately 100 students will
be singing in the choir. (The
number of members varies with
the type of appearance. Hence the

the purpose of participating in
international competition in Wales
where choruses with members up
to 25 years of age gathered. The

Special Choir was limited to 25
voices for this occasion, but it
received two fifth places.

In 1959 they appeared in the
Austrian Youth Festival at
Innsbruck although they did not
compete for a rating. Members
of the choir who kept a record
reported a total of 29 appear-
ances during the tour.

Atheists Challenge Christians

Thanks be for atheists and even those who pretend to
be! How badly we needed the jolting challenge presented last
week in the Hub!

Many of us come to college with a ready supply of pat
answers and memorized creeds. Of this group, the majority
emerge from Bible 101 without ever ques-
tioning a tradition or a belief and unfortu-
nately have nothing more to show for our
presence in class than nine quarter hours
of credit. v

Unless we sincerely question and inves-
tigate this faith which we have accepted
from childhood, it becomes drained of
3vhat vitality it once contained.
Some of us blithely support religious or-
ganizations both on and off campus but do we change
back into sly mice or silent pumpkins at midnight' on the
Sabbath. Are we praying on street corners- for public recog-
nition instead of working a quiet, powerful influence upon
the lives of those around us?

A few nights a week at ten-thirty on the dot, the "hall
crier" passes by our rooms proclaiming, "Hall prayers."
Depending upon the mood we are in, we variously ex-
cuse ourselves to the shower, try to ignore the plaintive
call, scream "Quiet hours!" or follow the voice to the
appointed room.

The meeting begins with admonitions from all sides to
hurry up; the leader then proceeds to read a few selected
verses or a page or two from someone's book of daily de-
votions.

With a concluding prayer, everyone scurries back into
their rooms. Rarely is there demand or time for personal
opinion and discussion.

Should it not interest, if not concern us what others
hold to be true?

With the privilege of learning and believing goes the re-
sponsibility of sharing our conclusions with those who may
be floundering in the same indecision which we have known
and overcome. L.S.

Orientation Changes Include
Academic Emphasis, Mixers

By VIRGINIA PHILIP

The class of 1964 little knows of the plans for their orien-
tation which are already well under way.
The Orientation Chairman, Dot-

tie Burns, and her committee, be-
I gan two weeks ago to study and
evaluate the past orientation
programs, and to initiate ideas for
| an improved program for the in-
I coming freshmen.

Beverly Kenton^' Vice-Chairman;
Betsy Boatwright, Social Secre-
tary, and Betty Libby, Clerical
Secretary, round out the orienta-
tion committee while Harriet Tal-
madge and Ann Rivers Payne
serve as advisors.

The committee, after re-evalu-
ation, will retain the* "sponsor-
helper" plan. Approximately 50
junior sponsors and 140 sopho-
more helpers have been selected
to aid in the orientation of more
than 200 freshmen.

A.S.C- Hotbed Of Apathy

7 This letter is written as a token of thanks to those students who
heard and participated with real interest in Marion Wright's clear
presentation of the Negro students' position in the South and to
Christian Association for bringing her here.

It f was a rare opportunity for us to have such intercourse with a
stu^e^t of the race which, in the South, is generally considered to
be, diametrically opposed to our own.

I was, personally, shocked to hear from Marion that she had
heard Agnes Scott referred to as "a hotbed of apathy." The
parallel statement on campus tends to be "a hotbed of radicalism."
/there are radicals on campus there must be all of twenty or
thirty. Then there is the even smaller reactionary group.

But the vast majority of us fall into the middle category, the
conservatives, who want to leave things just as they are, or who,
more often, aren't really sure how things are.

it is tfrs gpoup, I believe, which has gained for us the qualificative
"apathetic/' , not because they are moderates, but because, for the
most part^ ^hey don't know or care about the issue involved.

Maripn'js, life has a real (and I believe worthwhile) purpose. How
many of ours do? Obviously, her challenge is there, confronting her
eyery day, and, as.an intelligent person, she can hardly turn back on

Ours, or what could and perhaps should be ours, is more obscured
by the facility, of pur lives, buried under those disgusting layers of
fat complacency.. Bu,f must we leave it buried?

The opinions that the rest of the world holds of the United States
are, on the whole, not very flattering. We are not Great White
Gods everywhere.

Granted, there are two sides to the story. There are reasons
why we cannot always support starving nations. There are, un-
questionably, factors in the Little Rock situation that we never
knew.

.But.it- does littje Ood r , when confronted by a European, to deny
the accusations, hurled at tthe United States and the white man in
the South. We need a positive, n,ot a negative statement.

Few of us are in a position to be a Marion Wright, but must we
shrug our shoulders and give up*>

Mdftt3aSlingflt{at ff*})tott become "a hotbed of radical-
ism" but that we throw off the stigma of apathy by looking at
the facts, coming to grips with the prevalent situation in the
South, and taking a stand somewhere.

We should be ofr^eful to Marion fpx coming to Agnes Scott for
obvious reasons. It was, for mcmy of _Uv,the first close contact with
a .Negro student.

It was a good.cpntacC a stirring and honest declaration of pur-
pose from a stimulating person. And there are others like her.

I. for one. do not wish to be deprived of the privilege of knowing
them. June Hail.

'Andrea Chenier' Initiates Opera Season;
McDowell Praises Verdi's 'Boccanegro'

The Metropolitan Opera, under the auspices of the Atlanta
Music Festival Association and the Junior League, will
arrive in Atlanta for performances scheduled from May 2
through May 7.

Although the opera series is an j - ~ zz ~

Atlanta institution, not since the | lltCmO mOIIO I ly bpCQKinQ
early 1930's has a full week of
opera been offered.

This year's evening per-
formances, in order, Monday
through Saturday, are Andrea
Chenier, Madame Butterfly, La
Traviata, Gypsy Baron, II Tro-
vatore, and Le Nozze Figaro.
The only matinee to be pre-
sented on Saturday afternoon,
will be "Simon Boccanegra."

Mr. Michael McDowell, head of
the Agnes Scott music depart-
ment, feels that Verdi's "Simon
Boccanegro" is "one of the finest
operas."

Stars Richard Tucker and
Mary Curtis Verna head its
fine cast. Figaro, that evening,
should also be "very good."
According to Mr. McDowell,
opening night's "Andrea Cheniar"
ought to be equally good. A con-
temporary of Puccini, Giordano's
work about the French Revolution
should be "very beautiful."

A few performances originally
scheduled for the series have been
changed. In "Madame Butterfly,"
Dorothy Kirsten will substitute
for Antonietta Stella.

Leonard Warren, scheduled to
play a leading role, died this j
spring while performing at the
Metropolitan and will be replaced.

A major change is the inclusion
of orientation to the academic
life as well as to the social. Kathy
Kemp is working with Mr. Kline
on this aspect of the program.
The tentative plan for "in-
tellectual orientation" is divi-
sion of the freshmen into small
groups, led by faculty and
upperclassmen, for discussion of
some book, play or controver-
sial idea.

The purpose of these discussions,
held before classes begin, is to
give the student more confidence
in the classroom, or wherever
there is opportunity for her to
express her views.

The committee is also revising
the "How-to-Study" program.
Social orientation will revolve
around informal jam sessions
and "mixers'' held two or three
weeks after school has begun,
rather than the usual dance
with Tech freshmen.
Revision of literature sent to
freshmen during the summer, in-
cluding a more definative state-
ment of the school policies, is
among tentative plans of the com-
mittee.

Top Soviet Drives to Summit;
Russian Public Seeks Peace

By HARRIET SMITH

With the summit conference in Paris less than a month
away, observers are beginning to probe the motives behind
Premier Khrushchev's seventeen-month drive to get negoti-
ations > into the big leagues.

The Soviet leader's insistence
on a summit meeting reflects the
situation in Russia and gives a
clue to the possible outcome of
the Paris conference.

Apparently, Khrushchev now
feels it imperative to consider
Soviet public opinion in his
policy decisions. There are signs
of a strong anti-war sentiment
in Russia, and Khrushchev is
under pressure to avoid pushing
any crisis to the point of war.
Moreover, the Russian people
are demanding a better life, and
that demand can be met only by
diverting resources and labor

from military to civilian produc-
tion.

Consumer goods are also neces-
sary to sustain Russia's economic
competition with the West among
the world's neutralist powers.
Khrushchev probably hopes
that a summit conference will
create an impression of relaxed
world tensions so that the Rus-
sians will be free to concentrate
on consumer rather than mili-
tary productions.
The Soviets are becoming con-
vinced that plowshares will be
more decisive than swords in
world leadership.

Mortar Board Promotes Campus Ideals
Through Survies, Class Trophy, Retreat

By NANCY BARRETT

To many students on campus Mortar Board is an important organization with rather
nebulous functions which meets on Wednesday night in the Exec room.
In an attempt to clear up this

fidential campus survey of all

misconception, the News in con-
junction with Mortar Board presi-
dent Mary Hart Richardson pre-
sents an outline of Mortar Board
purposes and projects.
. The honor society is designed
to promote loyalty, the spirit of
service and fellowship, high
standards of scholarship and
leadership, antji to stimulate and
develop a finer type of college
woman.

These ideals are integrated in-
to the yearly program on this
campus.

Mortar Board promotes
loyalty at Agnes Scott pri-
marily through giving full sup-
port and cooperation to the
administration and the four
boards on- campus.
It also encourages attendance
at all college-sponsored functions,
such as chapel, lectures, Junior
Jaunt, and Blackfriars plays.

Mortar Board advances the
spirit of service and fellowship
on campus by conducting a con-

campus survey
areas of campus life, trying to
anticipate future needs, as well
as evaluating present conditions.
This is divided into three
main areas of student activities,
buildings and grounds, and
faculty and curriculum.
Black Cat, marriage classes, ID
cards, and Saturday chapels are
sponsored by Mortar Board. An-
other function is conducting all
major campus and class elections.

This year, Mortar Board spon-
sored the campus campaign.
The class scholarship trophy
is awarded by Mortar Board,
which undertakes to emphasize
to students 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
individual contact with the faculty
and by taking advantage of all
educational opportunities such as
lectures, concerts, and CA pro-

jects.

Mortar Board encourages in-
terest in the independent study
program, and provides a list of
suggested books for summer read-
ing. This year Mortar Board had
a party for the honor roll mem-
bers.

Mortar Board recognizes and
encourages leadership by spon-
soring a leadership training
conference for all the outgoing
and incoming officers of campus
organizations and publications
to help in the transition and to
preserve the continuity of
campus organizations.
As few as five members or as
many as twenty-five can be
elected. The qualifications are
nationwide and based on scholar-
ship, leadership, and service.

The scholastic requirement is
national; leadership is described
as "that leadership which inspires
others"; service is that "which
is given unselfishly and unpre-
tentiously."

Mortar Board is not an
officers' club but an honor so-
ciety which includes all those
girls who have been unselfish
in their time and abilities and
who have been given and ac-
cepted the responsibilities of
leadership.

Mortar Board is a national,
senior honor organization which
was founded in 1918 and which
functions on 105 campuses. Mor-
tar Board arrived on the ASC
campus in 1931 when HOASC
(Honor Organization of Agnes
Scott) was founded.

Comparing plans for their junior year abroad are four sophomores.
Ann Hershberger and Edith Hanna will study at the Sorbonne and
at the University of Edinburgh, respectively, while Nelia Adams
and Sue Amidon will attend the University of Munich.

Pickens To Head May Court;
Nine Attend As 'Priestesses'

May Day this year will take the form of a Greek ritual in
which the members of May Court participate as an integral
part.

Mary Jane Pickens, who was
elected to be May Queen, and who
will reign under the new title
"high priestess," feels that the
break from past May Day tradi-
tion raises the festival to a "high-
er level" and gives the court
more of a part in the activities.

Mary Jane, a senior from Tus-
caloosa, Alabama, is a psychology
major. She has served as presi-
dent of Christian Association dur-
ing the past year.

First attendant to the high
priestess is Becky Wilson, a
senior from Augusta, Georgia.
Becky is a member of Dance
Group and during her senior
year held the office of Pub-
licity Chairman of Social Coun-
cil.

Four seniors and four juniors
have been elected priestesses for
the occasion: Hollis Smith, from
New Orleans, Louisiana, has
served on Executive Committee,
and as a member of the layout
staff of the Silhouette.

Suellen Beverly, who is May
Day Chairman as well as one of
the priestesses, is from Charlotte,
North Carolina. She is also a mem-

Care, Or Care Less?

While campus clock-radios were tuned to music to-take-
the-edge-off-getting-up this morning, responsible citizens
were listening to the results of the West Virginia primary.
The whole country was waiting for the decision in what is
probably the most significant round in the
fight for the Democratic nomination. We
were groping our way back from breakfast.
The primary, ostensibly between Hum-
phrey and Kennedy, realistically was a con-
test between Kennedy and what Zeno
would term "not Kennedy/'
Most of Humphrey's total actually repre-
sents votes for Stevenson, Johnson, and
Symington. These seem to be the pick of the
Democrats' crop.
Though Nixon is the heir-apparent for the Republican
nomination, many die-hards are still playing on Rocke-
feller's team.

While some of the drop off in Republican primary votes
may be due to their having one candidate, the GOP forces
are vigorously trying to steal a share of the limelight
from the glamour-studded Democratic race. They can
not afford to lose a significant share of the votes even
in these unofficial races.

Furthermore, as Senator Murray of Montana, the last of
the New-Dealers, retires this year, the campaigns of both
parties will bend over backward to attract what is believed
to be a large Conservative vote- Humphrey is the only
avowed Liberal in the race, though Nixon leans to the left of
Ike while resting on his platform.

The presidential race seems to be a tightrope walk be-
tween cries for "Gimme" on one hand and the stronger Con-
servative voices on the other. The fact that Labor is in moral
disrepute seems to make these latter even more strong.

Domestic and international issues make the campaigns
both for nominations and election very important. Does the
student body care about its responsibilities as citizens, or
could it care less?

It is the hope of the Agnes Scott News that each student
will indicate her choice in the campus preference poll to-
morrow, and that she will develop and maintain an interest
in the election which is most crucial to our country. E.T.

Paint Whole Picture

In this time of great agitation caused by the racial in-
equality question, all sides the two groups of extremists
and the moderates need to have a clear and definite pres-
entation of all views in order to understand each group's
opinions.

Here on campus within the last few weeks,
we have heard speakers representing the
integrationists and moderates.

In contrast to the rational, intelligent
remarks of Marian Wright were the shock-
ing, extremely radical statements made by
the five white students from Spelman
College.

Both talks were under the sponsorship of
Christian Association, an organization whose
membership includes every Scott student.

We think it only fair that the beliefs of the opposite side
be presented also under the sponsorship of Christian Asso-
ciation. This would eliminate the bad feelings now existent
among some students.

A well-chosen segregationist speaker (not the KKK
head!) would give the segregationist views in a reasonable,
logical way.

Whether he would be enthusiastically received is not the
point; this side also deserves the opportunity to be heard.

Understanding all facets of a question is the key to finding
an answer. It is also the means by which we can solve our
current problems in race relations- C.S.J.

'Our Man Plays At Rialto;
Loew's Offers Niven, Day

By ANN PARKER

The cinema screen captures the entertainment spot-light
this week.

"Our Man in Havana" opens at
the Rialto. Top stars Alec Gui-
ness, Noel Coward, Burl Ives, and
Ernie Kovacs contribute their re-
spective talents to a w clever po-
litical satire.

Guiness, a businessman in Cuba,
is offered the chance to set up a
Caribbean intelligence network.
After several failures to procure
spies, he fakes the whole scheme.
Political Comedy

Surprising repercussions occur,
and the moral, almost obscured
by the comedy, is "in the modern
world, political innocence is guilt."

At Loew's, "Please Don't Eat
the Daisies" stars David Niven and
Doris Day in an adaptation of
the best-seller.

Typical of domestic comedies,
the piot includes a house in the
surburbs, the nitwit mother-in-

law, four "cute" kids, a neurotic
dog, and the other woman.
Black Orpheus
"Black Orpheus," at the Art,
is a revival of the moving Greek
legend. Orpheus is a street-car
conductor in Rio, Eurydice, a
country girl visiting the city to
escape a stranger who wants to
kill her.

They fall in love, but she is al-
ways pursued by the stranger,
death. In the end death is vic-
torious and Orpheus joins her.

Filmed in the lush Brazilian
landscape, the action includes
the barbaric abandon of the Rio
street carnival.

Social Council will show "The
Brothers Karamazov" May 21, at
7:30 in Campbell Hall. Yul Bryn-
ner stars in the adaptation of
Dostoevsky's tempestuous novel.

Academy Theatre Will Present
Internationally Acclaimed Play

The Academy Theatre, which will be remembered for its
highly successful production of "The Waltz of the Torea-
dors/' will present the "Summer of the Seventeenth Doll"
on May 20-22 and 25-29.

Campus Considers
Student-Faculty Poll

By MARTHA MOSSMAN

"Good to excellent" is the
rating of student-faculty rela-
tions at Agnes Scott College ac-
cording to the results of a recent
poll conducted by Lower House.

Ninety per cent of the 190 stu-
dents answering the poll support-
ed the claim of the close relation-
ship existing between faculty and
students at ASC.

According to the poll, the most
important aspect of good student-
faculty relations in the classroom
was the professor's thorough
knowledge of his field. Enthusi-
astic presentation of the subject
rated close behind.

Voice in Assignment Dates

As rights of a student in the
classroom, 148 felt they should
have some voice in selection of
assignment dates, while 95 stu-
dents believed that they should
have absolute freedom of at-
tendance.

Knowing the teacher outside of
the classroom made 93 per cent
of the students more academical-
ly responsive in class. 134 students
thought that a personal relation-
ship outside class did not result
in a breakdown of the traditional
relation between teacher and stu-
dent.

Several of the 53 students who
believed that there was a break-
down in the superior inferior
relation commented that they re-
spected their professors more as
they got to know them better.
Extra-Curricular Activities

One hundred fifty-nine felt that |
faculty participation in students'!
extra-curricular activities was im-
portant in encouraging good re-
lations. Seventy-five per cent be-
lieved that faculty participation
in religious activities was sig-
( Continued on Page 4)

Admission is by advance reser-
vation only. These may be made
by calling TR 4-6682 or by writing
to the Academy Theatre, 1429
Peachtree St., N. E. Tickets are
$2.00.

This play, written by Ray
Lawler, is the first in the his-
tory of the Australian theatre
to win for itself an international
reputation and esteem. Critics
hailed it for its vigor, its in-
tegrity, and its faithful por-
trayal of an unfamiliar scene.
It tells the story of two itiner-..
ant cane cutters: Barney, a swag-
gering little gamecock; and Roo,
the big man, a driver and born

leader.

They have been spending their
summer lay-offs each year, with
two barmaids in a small city down
south, where Roo has been bring-
ing a tinseled doll to Olive, his
girl, as a gift to symbolize their
unusual but tender relationship.
But this seventeenth summer
is one of change and climax in
which the old familiar patterns
must be broken, new ways
found, and the characters must
face for the first time certain
unpleasant truths about them-
selves.

The production is directed by
Mr. Frank Wittow.

Internationally Speaking

Koreans, Turks Battle;
Students Lead Conflicts

By HARRIET SMITH

Recent student-led uprisings, first in South Korea and
now in Turkey, have focused world attention on the issue
of democracy and posed a delicate diplomatic situation for
the chief proponent of democracy, the United States.

Seeking to promote democracy

Korea the birth of a new Asian
policy? Is the U. S. now prepared
to jump into every internal quar-
rel in Asia and elsewhere?

In many ways the uprising in
Turkey is strikingly similar to
the Korean situation. Again
students are leading an open
revolt against a regime which
began as democratic but has
steadily adopted authoritarian
measures.

Moreover, Turkey, like South
Korea, has been the recipient of
tremendous economic aid from
the U. S. in recent years.

It is doubtful that the U. S. will
pursue its Korean role in Turkey,
however. Washington is not di-
rectly involved with the Turkish
government of Premier Menderes
as it was in South Korea.

Direct or indirect support for
anti-government groups in Tur-
key could expose the U. S. to
charges of treating its Asian
allies like satellites. Moscow is
always anxious to label the
U. S. as an "aggressor."

and yet avoid
interference, U.
S. policy makers
are aware that
any move in the
strategic East
could bring seri-
ous repercus-
sions.

The U. S.
with apprehension as Dr. Syng-
man Rhee's regime became in-
creasingly dictatorial, for Ameri-
ca had helped to father, finance,
and preserve the Young Repub-
lic of Korea.

Washington thus felt com-
pelled to drop its non-inter-
vention policy and reprimand
Dr. Rhee when his government
pressing protest demonstrations.
U. S. prestige ran high when
the reformers triumphed in South
Korea, but. meanwhile, world
attention was shifting to the up-
rising in Turkey as Asian coun-
tries sought the answer to a vital
question.

Alston Leads Religious
Program At University

Serving as the University Wor-
ship Speaker, Dr. Wallace M.
Alston preached on the subject
"What Does God Want of Us"? at
Emory's Worship Service which
was held at Glenn Memorial
Church this morning.

Based on the ninth verse of the
third chapter of Genesis, Dr. Al-
ston's sermon dealt with the pro-
blem of man's strange effort to
run away and escape from the
presence of God.

'"Seeking Love of God"

In his sermon Dr. Alston stress-
ed ".. . seeking love of God" and
God's unwillingness to permit man
to live apart from Him.

Dr. Alston told the Emory stud-
ents that God wants four things
from man. First, God wants man
to know who he is. Second, God
wants man to understand how He
feels toward him.

The third desire of God is that
man be all of what he is capable
of becoming. And fourth, God
wants man to accomplish the
task He put him in the world to
do.

State Chemical Society Honors
Young With Yearly Student Gift

Three Agnes Scott seniors attended the meeting of the
Georgia Academy of Science in Athens on April 22-23, and
gave reports on their independent study projects.

Charlotte King, a biology major

spoke on her findings in "A Study
of the Effects of Repeated Irradia-
tion on Ciliate Cysts."

Martha Young and Nancy Pat-
terson were the chemistry majors
who reported on their independent
work. Martha's topic was "Spec-
trophotometric Determination of
Cobalt with 1, 2, 3,-Cycloherane-
trione Trioxine."

"Paper Chromatographic Separ-
trione Separation and Spectropho-
tometry Determination of Trace
Amounts of Aluminum, Iron,
Manganese" was Nancy's subject.

Each year the Georgia Section
of the American Chemical Society
gives two awards, one to a student
at a liberal arts college which has
no graduate program, and one to
a student at a school which has a
graduate program.

From the six students eligible

Campaign Program Lures
U. S. Steel's Capital

By LUCY SCHOW

The United States Steel Foundation has announced that
Agnes Scott will be one of thirty-one institutions in the coun-
try to receive a capital grant in this next year.

For several years, Agnes Scott

has been receiving $1,000 from the
Foundation as an unrestrictive
operating grant.

Because of the Seventy-fifth
Anniversary Development Pro-
gram, the college applied for a
capital grant.

Agnes Scott has been awarded
an unrestrictive capital grant of
$20,000 which will be used in
accomplishing campaign objec-
tives.

Roger M. Blough, Chairman of
the Board of Trustees, commented
on the United States Steel Foun-
dation's major grants for 1960.

"At the focal point of Trus-
tee consideration of this 1960
program are the requirements
that American education pur-
sue ever-higher standards of
excellence, that creativity be
encouraged by every feasible
means, and that academic free-
dom be maintained and
strengthened."

President Alston expressed the
appreciation of the college .and
added that this award will serve
as an encouragement in the four
and one-half million dollar cam-
paign to be completed by Spring
of 1964.

4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, May 11, 1960

A sneak prevue obtained by attending one of 'Electra's three dress
rehearsals this week, revealed a group of hard working students
and faculty members striving toward top performances for Friday
and Saturday nights. In the picture on the left, Electra, Molly
Dotson, clutching an urn supposing to contain ashes of her brother

Orestes 7 body, morns for his death. In disguise Orestes, played by
Linda Grant Teasley anguishes when he sees his sister so affected
by the news of his death. In the right-hand picture Aegisthus,
Electra's step-father, scolds Electra strongly for her childish show
of emotion. Aegisthus is protrayed by Marian Fortson.

Poll!

(Continued from Page 2)
nificant.

According to 80 per cent of the
students, personal conferences
helped them to know their pro-
fessors better. One hundred six
students believed that the faculty
adviser program proved bene-
ficial in establishing good rela-
tions.

The poll showed that 86 per cent
of the students thought that
showing a personal interest in a
professor was proper. However,
students' opinions were about
eyqually divided concerning who
should take the initiative in estab-
lishing a personal relationship.

Sixty-two of the students felt
that they received as much per-
sonal interest from their teachers
as they desired.

Attitude Toward Personal
Confidence

Concerning the faculty's atti-
tude toward personal confidences,
95 of the students believed confi-
dence should be divulged only
through their consent. Sixty stu-
dents felt that the professor could
divulge personal confidences if it
was for the welfare of the stu-
dent.

Ninety-two percent of the stu-
dents felt that they should be able
to discuss problems with the fac-
ulty involving conflict with the
honor system.

One hundred thirty-nine be-
lieved that the discussion should
be completely confidential, al-
though several students felt that
if the teacher discovered a con-
flict in a student's behavior to-
ward the honor system, he would
be bound to the honor system.

The poll showed that while 45
students believed a professor's
obligation to the honor system
was most important, 83 students
felt that obligation to their con-
fidence was of greatest impor-
tance.

Memphis Area Campaign
Begins National Canvass

Last Thursday the first of the area campaign luncheons
was held in Memphis, Tennessee,

This Monday Chattanooga was
the scene of a gala dinner at Read
House.

Beginning tomorrow, Nashville,
Columbia. Greenville, and Raleigh
will be scenes of "kickoff lunch-
eons.

Preparation for an area cam-
paign begins with the organiza-
tion of a local committee.

Prior to the opening luncheon,
Mr. French meets with the
elected chairman of this com-
mittee and gives her and a
group of volunteers instructions
as to the process of fund raising.
In Memphis the area chairman
is Mrs. Mary Catherine Vinsant
Trymes, '46, a housewife with
three children, who was noted for
her artistic interests while at-
tending Agnes Scott.

A Chattanooga High School
teacher, Mrs. Felts is an avid
writer of poetry, plays, and
pageants, and has won several
national honors for her poetry.
The luncheons held in each sec-
tion are entirely social and in-
formative occasions.

Dr. Alston will address each of
these gatherings on ASC's present
activities and future plans. "Quest
For Greatness," a twenty-five
minute film taken on our campus
retells the story of Agnes Scott.
There is something in the
movie to bring back memories
to all alumni. In Memphis an
excited murmur arose among
several 1910 and 1912 alumni
when retired faculty members
were recalled.

Alumni, parents, and friends of
Agnes Scott are invited to these
luncheons.

A few days later each of them
will be visited by a member of his
local committee in order that he
may have an opportunity to con-
tribute to the campaign.

Funds are being raised on a $150
share basis over a 30 month
period, but Mr. French and other
leaders of the campaign are
stressing that "a good gift de-
pends on the individual; it is a
thoughtful gift."

Freshmen Eye Championship
As Softball Games Progress

By LELIA JONES

In the first game of the Softball season the freshmen finally
asserted themselves as the team to watch with a resounding
victory over the juniors 23-5.

The talent gleamed after being
dusted off with a few practices.
Lynne Cole, freshman pitcher,
kept the number of junior hits to
a minimum.

Left-fielder Elizabeth Thomas
was the outstanding freshman
batter.

The juniors, with such nota-
bles as Sarah Kelso, Pam Syl-
vester, and Anne Broad, put up
a good fight, even though the
score doesn't indicate it.
Regardless of who the winner
was everyone had a good time
just playing.

In the second game of the day,
the sophomores had to forfeit to
the seniors because they didn't
have enough players.

Last week there was a double
forfeit by the sophomores and the
juniors because each lacked the
required number.

Anyone who didn't see the
"tired old" seniors come to life
on the Softball field last Fri-
day really missed something.
What started out as a slow
game turned into one full of
laughs and excitement.
At the end of the first inning
the freshmen were ahead 6-0 even
though senior pitcher Katherine
John was throwing some wicked
balls across the plate.

The highlight of the game came
in the second inning when "Duvy"
hit the only homerun of the game
with the bases loaded with seniors.
Every time the freshmen were
at bat, they racked up a few
more runs.

In the top of the fourth inning,
seemingly anxious to end the
game, Bonnie Loving caught two
flies at third base, Lynne Cole
threw an easy out to Beth Bar-
nett, first baseman, and the game
was over with a 12-7 victory for
the freshmen.

This Friday's games should be
interesting since the Class of '63
will be out for a victory over the
sophs to clinch the championship.
This is the Sophomores' last
chance to get up a team! If the
seniors beat the juniors, they
will be in second place; other-
wise there will be a tie.

Dal ton, Loving Near
Tennis Match Finals

Betsy Dalton and Bonnie Loving
have advanced to the finals of the
Doubles Tennis Tournament with
a win over Peggy Mitchell and
Ann Hutchinson 6-0, 6-4.

They defeated Kathryn Mobley
and Betsy Schenck 6-2, 6-3, earlier
in the eliminations.

The only other game in this
round matched Joyce McQuilkin
and Anne Thomas against Robin
Rudolph and Dot Porcher. Mc-
Quilkin and Thomas won 6-3, 6-3.

Lucy Schow and Harriet Glover
forfeited to Peggy Mitchell and
Ann Hutchinson, while Betty
Kneale and Nancy Jane Higgins
won by forfeit over Sally Blom-
quist and Beth Hendee.

Batters-up! Freshmen Stokey
Cumming and Kathyrn Mobley

Bellune Heads Arts Corranittee;
Arts Festival To Stress Modern

Fine Arts Festival Chairman elected in student meeting
Thursday is Betty Bellune, a rising senior from Greenville,
South Carolina.

An April 20 date has been sug-
gested to coincide with poet John
Ciardi's visit to the campus. A
professor at Barnard College and
an editor of The Saturday Review,
Ciardi would make the key-note
lecture.

A temporary committee, led
by Brock Hanna, has suggested
that emphasis be contemporary,
with the intention of drawing
almost solely on campus cre-
ativity for Festival productions.
Major areas to be included are

music, drama, and literature, with

special emphasis given to dance

and art.

Tentative plans include an art
exhibit and panel, a dance pro-
duction, and a Festival issue of
Aurora. Other suggestions include
a Blackfriars production, or a
drama workshop, and a concert.
Members of Betty's commit-
tee will be faculty and student
chairmen from each area as
well as co-ordinators of Festival
arrangements.
Betty explains that tne Fine
Arts Festival has the purposes of
both stimulating creativity and
developing appreciation in the en-
tire campus community.

by President Eisenhower in No-
vember, 1957, Mr. Allen had pre-
viously served as a member of the
United States Foreign Service, a
position he had held for 28 years.

Mr. Allen has acted as U. S.
Ambassador to Greece, to Yugo-
slavia, to India, and to Iran; he
has been Assistant Secretary of
State on . two occasions.

On his first appointment as
Assistant Secretary twelve
years ago, Mr. Allen was placed
in charge of the overseas in-
formation and cultural activities
of the U. S., including the Voice
of America radio broadcasts.
When the U. S. Information
Agency was established under the
Eisenhower administration in
1953, Mr. Allen returned from his
post as Ambassador to Yugoslavia
to assume duties as Director.

Now 56, Mr. Allen is considered
a specialist in Near Eastern and
Asian affairs, and has had first-
hand experience in dealing with
Soviet propaganda.

Present during more than one
international crisis, Mr. Allen
has been a familiar figure at
top-level conferences: the Mos-
cow Conference in 1943, Pots-
dam in 1945, and the UNESCO
Conference at Beirut in 1948,
and Paris in 1949 as Chairman
of the U. S. Delegations.
Our speaker chose a career in
International Relations while he
was an undergraduate at Trinity
College, now Duke University.

After graduating Phi Beta Kap-
pa, he acquired his Masters De-
gree at Harvard where he also
received the Charles Sumner Prize
in International Relations. He en-
tered the State Department on
April 15, 1930.

In spite of a time-consuming
career, Mr. Allen has been an ac-
tive sportsman, enjoying tennis,
golf, and badminton.

He lives now with his wife and
three sons in Chevy Chase, Mary-
land, where he is a member of
the Metropolitan Club of Wash-
ington and the Chevy Chase Club.
Dr. John Franklin Anderson,
now pastor of the First Presby-
terian Church in Orlando, Flori-
da, was originally from Dallas,
Texas.

After graduating from Austin
College in Sherman, Texas, in
1941, he attended Union Presby-
terian Theological Seminary in
Richmond, where he served as 1
President of the Seminary Student
Body. Here he was awarded the
Moses D. Hoge Scholarship for
graduate study.

Upon entering the Chaplain
Corps, USNR, in 1944. he became
part of the 2nd Marine Division.
His duties took him to Saipan,
Okinawa, and Japan.

After the close of the war,
Dr. Anderson returned to
civilian life, serving as pastor
of the First Presbyterian
Church in Tyler, Texas, until
1952, and then as associate pas-
tor and pastor of the First Pres-
byterian Church in Dallas.
He resumed his studies also,
acquiring his Th.M. from Austin
Presbyterian Theological Seminary
in Austin, Texas, and his D.D.
from Austin College in Sherman.

Dr. Anderson is now active as
a member of the Board of Florida
Presbyterian Homes, the Adviso-
ry Council of Higher Education,

Kennedy Emerges Victor
In Student Mock Primary

By HARRIET SMITH

It was a hey-day far the Democrats in the Agnes Scott
mock presidential primary held last Thursday through Sat-
urday in the mailroom. Jack Kennedy, youthful victor of the
West Virginia primary, carried the election and led the
Democratic pack with 88 votes out of a total of 239.

Runner-up Richard Nixon, poll-

ing 67 votes, was the over-whelm-
ing choice of Republicans while
the balance of Republican strength
went to Nelson Rockefeller.

Placing fifth in a field of nine
candidates, the New York Gov-
enor was the choice of 16 stu-
dents.

A number of Democratic
candidates captured all but two
of the remaining nominations.
Thirty-six students favored Ad-
lai Stevenson while 79 chose
Senate Majority Leader Lyndon
Johnson' as their nominee.
Running sixth and seventh were
Stuart Symington and Hubert

Humphrey, with six and three
votes respectively.

Not to be forgotten were two
favorite sons of Georgia. Herman
Talmadge received two write-in
votes, and a lone student wrote in
Richard Russell as her favorite.
"Ifs the name that counts/'
declared the author of a write-
in vote for Teddy Roosevelt,
while another joker nominated
Herbert Hoover with the caption
"Peace and Depression!"
Next fall the Agnes Scott News
will sample student opinion again
with a mock election anticipating
the national presidential election
in November.

Pine-Paneled Rut?'

The transition from textbook to source book which
accompanies the lurch from sophomore to junior is one of
the most exciting things about the "300" level of the cata-
log.

Former avid readers, most of us are starve d far a
book, whether poetry or biography, novel,
play/ or philosophy. We tend to hoard these
bookstore purchases, protecting them for
that pine-paneled built-in book-case.

But there are always those books we
don't have, and a valuable stimulus for
acquiring them is provided by the Mc-
Kinney Book Award competition.
Running from May to May, the Award
recognizes Summer as the most fruitful
period for reading. We not only have more time, but often
we also have more money with which to start a library.
Having once begun, it is easier to find time during the year
to read the occasional book added to the collection.

Besides having recovered our interest in reading for
pleasure, we have begun a library reflecting both our taste
and exposure to various fields.

It is from this personal interest and intellectual posses-
sion that the real pride of ownership comes. It is this that
the McKinney Book Award seeks to encourage.
While the Award of $50 can be given to only one person,
the rewards of the competition are shared by each contestant,
for books are "realms of gold."

Most of us will not go to graduate school; all of us hope
to retain not merely our literateness but also our awareness.
Pine-paneled book shelves may sound like the rut of the
future, but they can also be the restoring shop of our
minds. E.T.

'Garden Of Gripes'

"Oh, no, we're having liver again!" "I just want to know
who voted to have a Fine Arts Festival?" "Why doesn't the
ASC News print something worth reading?" all these are
jaded phrases heard during the past week on our campus-
The remarks, typical of ones all of us
make, reveal not only grumbling but alarm-
ing apathy.

It is paradoxical that on a campus with
so many opportunities for student ex-
pression that we should be described as a
"hotbed of apathy" and a "garden of
gripes. ,,

Our apathy does not only extend beyond
the confines of McDonough and Candler
into the area of race relations and international affairs but
centers here at school in our attitudes and our participation
in student affairs.

We gripe about not feeling a part of Student Government;
yet only 25 per cent of the student body shows up for stu-
dent meeting on Thursday, and fewer yet voice an opinion
or offer constructive criticism.

We loudly exclaim that the food is "just terrible" in the
dining hall, but weeks go by with no menu suggestions
for the dietician.

The Agnes Scott News "does not cater to student needs
nor voice student opinion'': however, few letters trickle in
to be published and they don't even have to be signed!

Because many people hesitate to offer suggestions pub-
licly, the campus polls furnish a media for anonymous stu-
dent feeling 200 students responded to the poll on re-
ligion and faculty-student relationships.

Lower House and Christian Association representatives
function on individual halls as a liaison between student
government, C. A., and the campus, but few of us take
advantage of the opportunity . . .

Where is our voice to be heard as important members
of the ASC student body? Lost amidst the mass, you say?
Or are we merelv releasing our gripes and displaying glar-
ingly our apathy over a game of bridge in the hub or a coke
in a dorm bull session?

We run the school into the ground on occasion and fail to
provide the support!" g fixtures to erect a stronger structure.

Are we willingly losing the privilege of student expres-
sion? N.B.

Recent Books Offer Knowledge
On Theater, Sculpture, Religion

By NANCY BARRETT

A world of new and exciting books awaits us in the library.
The books cover a variety of fields and offer possibilities
for new knowledge or an enjoyable summer afternoon of
reading. A few include the following:

The Theater in Soviet Russia

oj nRT f s For Dttisn^

by Nikolai Gorchakov gives an
account of the growth and decline
of one of the most glorious phases
of the world's theater. It offers
a compelling explanation of the
Russian theater's great influence
on the theater of other nations.

Readers who have enjoyed J. B.
Phillips' books on other occasions
will find his new Church Under
the Cross equally good. Mr. Phil-
lips is in realistic contact with
the pulse-beat of Christian mis-
sions in our day.

He presents a case for "front

'South Pacific Reappears

By ELLEN MIDDLEBROOKS

Clubs and Cinema claim the entertainment spotlight this
week in Atlanta.

Featuring the best in Dixie-
land Jazz, the
Paradise Room at
the Henry Grady
presents the na-
tionally famous
Dukes of Dixie-
land, New Or-
leans' hottest
Jazz group.
Pitched on a
more mellow note are the Ink-
spots who are playing at the
Bayou on Peachtree, where con-
tinuous entertainment and dancing
always promise a delightful eve-
ning.

Those who either missed the
first showing of "South Pacific"
or who want to see again this ex-
quisite presentation of Rodgers and
Hammerstein's fabulous musical
will be delighted that it is showing
now at the Fox and at regular
prices!

A new film is on the billboard
this week at the Paramount.
"Heller in Pink Tights" stars
Sophia Loren and Anthony Quinn
in a story based on the life of

Craig, Moye Head
Greek-Latin Society

Eta Sigma Phi, national hon
orary society of Greek and Latin
students, met for the last meeting
of the year at the home of Laura
Lowndes.

After a hamburger fry, new
officers were elected: Cindy Craig,
president; Tish Moye. vice-presi-
dent (program chairman); Jane
Kelley. secretary; and Page Smith,
treasurer.

The club voted to give $25 to
the national Eta Sigma Phi En-
dowment Fund. Money in this
fund is used to provide a yearly
scholarship for a member to study
in Rome for a summer.

This year Agnes Scott's Martha
Thomas won the national scholar-
ship.

New members will be chosen in
the fall. Requirements specify two
years of Latin or Greek, the at-
tainment of a certain point aver-
age, and a real interest in classi-
cal languages.

Archaeology has been the theme
of the past year's meetings. Mem-
bers have given programs on the
evacuations of Troy. Mycennae,
Crete, and Pompeii.

Faculty advisers are Mrs.
Young, Miss Glick, and
Zenn.

Adah Mencken. In color and
promising flavorsome acting, the
film is rated as excellent.

Seniors To Present
Parody on Mozart

"The Magic Ring" is the title
the seniors have chosen for the
opera which they will present on
Class Day, June 4.

The presentation will star Helen
Mabry and Eve Purdom in the
roles of Charmen and Longingring.
The setting is a "small medieval
girl's school."

"The Magic Ring" is based on
the opera, "The Magic Flute," by
Mozart.

sion, explaining that he sees in
20th century missionaries "the
same gay courage, the same un-
conquerable loyalty as I found
in the history of the young
church."

The newest rage in the art
world today is metal sculpture,
and John Lynch in his book Metal
Sculpture offers the general read-
er a glimpse into the field.

By pictures and comment, Mr.
Lynch has illustrated everything
from the making of simple designs
in wire to complex welded sculp-
ture.

All forms of metal sculpture
are covered including well de-
signed utilitarian objects which
can be made in spare moments
during the summer.

All Gone with the Wind fans
will enjoy a new book on the re-
construction entitled Prince of
Carpet-Baggers by Jonathan
Daniels.

With wit and perception, Mr.
Daniels brings the reconstruction
of the South into sharp focus by
turning a spotlight on the career
of a man who embodied the story
and character of the Reconstruc-
tionist the image of the plun-
dering carpetbagger and the epi-
tome of the scapegoat.

Students of Metaphysics will
find of interest Robin Golling-
wood's book entitled An Essay on
Metaphysics. Mr. Gollingwood has
given an explanation of metaphy-
sics, why it is necessary to well-
being and advancement of knowl-
edge, and how it may be pursued.

Something new in the library
record collection is the Recorded
Portrait of Eleanor Roosevelt in
conversation with Arnold Mi-
chaelis.

Evidence Of Spy Plane
Startles U. S. To Reality

By HARRIET SMITH

The startling series of events precipitated by the capture
of an American spy plane deep in Russian territory has
shocked many people out of illusion and into reality.

Khrushchev's cleverly timed
propaganda maneuver has swept
away cherished images of the U.S.

as a nation
"above that sort
of thing" and has
brought into
sharp focus the
facts of the cold
war.

In seeking to
obtain informa-
_______ tion vital to this

nation's security, America was
engaging in a practice which has
been routine from the earliest
days of organized political states.
Spying is the rule, not the
exception.
Moreover, the State Depart-
ment's denial of the spying inci-
dent on May 5 was plain com-
mon sense, not the act of an un-
trustworthy government. An in-
ternationally observed conviction
is that a government never ad-
mits its spy activities.

Khrushchev drew Washington
into a trap by breaking another
international conviction connected
with spying that when you
catch another's man's spy, except
Miss when he is your declared enemy,
! you keep quiet about it.

Faced with Khrushchev's
boast of evidence on May 7,
the U. S. followed the only sen-
sible course by admitting to the
charge.

Russia has long been aware of
the United States' espionage ac-
tivities, but Khrushchev seized
on this particular incident to
launch a massive propaganda cam-
paign against America.

Many observers feel that he is
setting the stage for a summit
failure to be blamed conveniently
on the U. S.

By overplaying the role of the
injured party, however, Mos-
cow has laid himself open to
charges of hyprocrisy.

Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei
Gromyko's assertion that "the
very concept of espionage contra-
aicts the policy of the Soviet
Union" is clearly absurd.

Just three weeks ago it was
disclosed that a Soviet trawler
had been observing U. S. sub-
marine missile tests a short dis-
tance off the Atlantic coast.

Even while Khrushchev was
threatening the U. S., two Soviet
diplomats were captured in Switz-
erland in the act of buying Ameri-
can and Swiss military secrets.

Louise McKinney Book Prize
Attracts Student Competitors

By BETH CRAWFORD

Seven students are participating in this year's competition
for the Louise McKinney Book Award. The participants are:
Lisa Ambrose, Jane Cate Ayres, Shannon Cumming, Corky
Feagin, Peggy McGeachy, Martha McKinnon, and Esther
Thomas.

This award was established
several years ago in honor of Miss
Louise McKinney, professor emeri-
tus of English.

While teaching at Agnes Scott,
Miss McKinney encouraged her
students to love reading and to
collect books which would be suit-
able for a permanent library.
In order to qualify for the
award, the student must present
a collection of at least 15 books
to a book award committee un-
der the chairmanship of Miss
Janef Newman Preston.
The judges, Miss Preston, Miss
Mary Rion, Miss Chloe Steel, and
Mrs. Edna Byers, are interested in
the choice of books, their subject
matter, durability, and in the evi-
dence that the contestant posses-
ses her books in more than a phy-
sical manner.

Last Friday the book owners
were informally interviewed by
the book award committee con-
cerning their collections.

These separate 15-minute peri-
ods were filled with such ques-
tions as "Do you have a pre-

dominant interest?" and "Why
do you particularly like histori-
cal novels?"

Some questions related to par-
ticular books: "Why do you ad-
mire the styles of Doestoevsky
and Chekhov?"

"Why has Camus made such a
profound impact on our age?"
"What is a mystic?"

The collections, displayed in the
library, cover the fields of biology,
philosophy, and English, and in-
clude such types as historical
novels, collected ghost stories, and
studies in extrasensory perception.

Specifically, a visitor to the dis-
play can expect to see Ralph Mc-
Gills "The Fleas Come With the
Dog," "Madame Bovary/' "Lolita,"
"The Status Seekers," and "Sis
ter Carrie."

Also one will discover a book of
"Irish Fairy and Folk Tales," and
"Snowf lake," the story of a Swiss-
born snowflake who runs down
to France to marry a raindrop,
and an anthology of the poems of
Robert Burns.

Community Picnic tonight on the Hockey Field
Good food and some exciting

and unusual entertainment is

at 5:00 p.m. All you need to bring
is an empty stomach it's free!

Actually, tranquilizers may be
needed for the competition is stiff
in the tennis finals to be played
before supper.

This is our opportunity to see
those chalk-pushers behind the
serving line. The students have
challenged the faculty to a
volleyball game.
Now you can scream at Miss
McKemie when she makes a mis-
take! In due respect for the profs,
I'm afraid they are going to be
beaten.

I can't promise much time for
you to digest your food; after all
this, there will be the presenta-
tion of the Athletic Cup, the Spirit
Cup, and the Outstanding Senior
Award.

The Spirit Cup goes to the Class
with the best Chapel attendance
(the fewer smokers the better),
attendance at sports events, and
the most complete and original
class scrapbook.

The awards are on display in the
mail room for your inspection.

The Picnic will end with Vespers,
given by Mr. Martin.

So you want culture? What
could be more artistic than a War-
ren original or Westervelt pot-

Ghost Unsheeted

The recent series on the graduate of the Class of 1960,
written for the Atlanta Constitution by Betsy Fancher, was
very generous to Agnes Scott.

Among her nicest comments was that there |g
seems to be no prototype on this campus,
and she implied that we were not so money-
grubbing .and status-seeking as she found
students in neighboring institutions to be.

We hope that this is true; if the 4 Agnes
Scott ideal' is on the way out, so much the
better. The more individual we become, the
more pointed and original are our contri-
butions.

Yet lurking in the stacks, perhaps memorizing notes
for rote replies on an exam, or rising up in the smoke.,
of a bonfire and sifting through a campus sing is the ghost
of the Agnes Scott ideal.

Killing it at times becomes an extremely hazardous process.
Rebellion goes too far. As an after-math of subversion, Exec
is alternately aggressive and defensive. Those who stalk the
ghost more conscientiously are likewise afraid. 'Radical' is
still a four-letter epithet in campus vernacular.

And there are those who are not haunted, or weren't until
the Rev. Allison Williams unmasked a few of the ghost's
disguises, and Dr. Napier challenged them to be ghost-
hunters.

And there are those who follow the ghost and anything
else.

Innocent enthusiasm has never been a synonym for in-
tellectual cotton-batting, but this is the most prominent dis-
guise of the ghost of 1959-1960. Some of those who renounce
the ghost won't listen to a thoughtfully moderate point of
view on, for instance, race relations.

And worse still are those raging against whoever showed
them something they didn't want to see, who opened their
eyes to the ideals and goals of Marion Wright. It seems rea-
sonable that the opponent's tactics and aims would want to
be known.

Why did we have an irrational reaction here? Better
the old ghost better sheltered than ignorant.

Until the taint of the 'Agnes Scott ideal,' or the more in-
sidious flaws of provincialism, dogmatism, and intellectual
isolation are removed, Agnes Scott cannot afford to rest
on the laurels awarded by Betsy Fancher.

A vision of greatness is different and unusual- For us
individually, it can be achieved only by removing fear
whether of new ideas or from old ideals from our minds.

E. T.

Reincarnation

This last week of the college year is not only a time of re-
view for the inevitable final exams but also a review of our
contributions to the life and spirit of the community.

With sincere and probing introspection,
not one of us escapes the feeling of inade-
quacy for "We have done those things
which we ought not to have done, and we
have left undone those things which we
ought to have done."

If we could be given back the days
months years we have spent on this
campus, would we have elected the same
courses, participated to the same extent in
the extra-curricular activities, slighted the same people?

This vital review of attitudes should not be repressed as
we rush about packing and making plans for the long-awaited
summer. We cannot profit from the mistakes of our past
experience if we do not first tear them from the guize of
rationalization.

For it is in the realization of our short-comings that we
are given all hope for future progress. Each of us can be in-
cluded in the prospect of a life better spent next year
whether in these same surroundings, in another college, or
in the life work for which she has prepared.

Graduation is not a specific term applying only to a day
in June which marks the completion of four years in college
but a term relative to individual efforts toward a meaning-
ful awareness- Graduation does not connote sadness but
rather a second chance for fulfillment. L.S.

Grads Review Highlights
Of Eventful College Years

By BETH CRAWFORD

In 1957 the "60" club was organized to spur on the activities of the freshman class. Dot
Martin was chosen President of the class and Peanuts was made honored mascot. With
the aid of these two leaders the freshmen began their stay at Agnes Scott by winning 2nd
place in the Black Cat song contest.
Martha Ansley and "Liz Acree As Sophomores our* present day

were cheerleaders as the youthful
class also walked away with sec-
ond place in hockey team com-
petition.

"Dixierama," the theme of the
Junior Jaunt skits in 1957. was an
effort to raise money for charity,
but it also presented a slightly re-
vsied version of the Civil War.
As "war orphans" the class of
1960 received first place for
vividness of portrayal and
bounding spirit.
From the fire of this triumph
the spirit of '60 also carried off
the season's basketball trophy.
Evidence of the class's athletic
prowess were class wrestlers
Mula Kula and Lady Godiva
who grappled on ASC-TV the
night of Black Cat.
The first three consecutive beau-
ty titles for the class of 1960
went to Becky Wilson.

senior class was the first par-
ticipant in a Sophomore Parents
Weekend. The physical education
classes added to the festivities by
a tumbling, fencing, and modern
dance exhibition.

On 1958 s Black Cat night,
the war orphans of 1957 became
hillbillies and won a moral, if
not an actual, victory in the
skit competition.
In 1959, with Jane Law as their
president, the class of 1960 held
the Junior Jaunt charity drive,
well topping a goal of $2,000.

A Monday evening carnival fea-
tured hula-hooping and haunted
housing the prelude to Saturday
night's ball.

As Seniors, the Class of 1960
has broadened its activity climate
to take in intellectual accomplish-
ment of an unprecedented nature.
Fifteen/ seniors gained Phi Beta

Kappa keys the largest number
in Agnes Scott history.

Another record was set when
Joanna Flowers, Anne Whis-
nant, and Mary Hart Richard-
son were awarded Fulbright
Scholarships.

Representative of the four year
participation of the seniors in
athletics was Sylvia Saxon, win-
ner of the Senior AA Award for
the highest number of accumu-
lated points.

Highlight of the year has been
the Campus Campaign. The stu-
dent leader of this drive, Mary
Hart Richardson, a senior, reffects
the interest and contribution of
the class of 1960 to this project.

It was not purely a matter of
circumstances that senior repre-
sentation in the slave sale was
greater than that of any other
class - that's true willingness to
serve!

Graduation Brings Possibilities
Of New Jobs, Marriage, School

By NANCY BARRETT

Graduation time brings 127 seniors to the close of their
college career and offers the prospects of marriage, further
schooling or exciting new jobs. To catch a glimpse of such
plans, the Agnes Scott News has interviewed a number of

seniors.

Corky Feagin will journey this
summer to Stratford-On-Avon
where she will spend three months.
She then hopes to work in a re-
fugee camp in Austria before re-
turning home for a December
wedding.

Anne Morrison will spend the
summer with St. John's Guild in
New York City where she will be
a social worker on a floating
charity hospital for underprivi-
leged children.

In September, Anne will
journey to University of North
Carolina to work on her Mas-
ter's degree in Social Work.
Psychology major, Harriet
Lamb, will take a position as per-
sonnel director of a bank in Fort
Worth, Texas.

Trips to Europe will be popular
as Emily Parker and Carolyn
Hoskins see the sights of the conti-
nent. Emily will return in the
fall to assume a teaching position
in Connecticut and Carolyn Hos-
kins will be married.

Princeton beckons Eileen
Johnson for work on her Bache-
lor of Divinity Degree in prep-
aration for work in the mission
field.

Schooling is also popular with
Wilma Muse as she prepares to
enroll in Parson's Art School in
New York City.

Daisy Chain, Opera Highlight
Traditional Class Day Events

By LINDA LENTZ

Class Day activities began early Saturday morning, June
4th, for the Sophomore daisy pickers.

By 4:00 that afternoon, the traditional daisy chain was
complete, and the Sophomores, had marched with their
sister Seniors to the May Day Dell.

Here, the two classes sang to
each other the songs which each
had especially prepared for the
occasion, and the 1960 seniors pre-
sented their class poem.

After the activities in the
Dell, the Sophomores escorted
the Seniors to the quadrangle,
where the long daisy chain was
placed in an "S" for Agnes
Scott, and the singing continued.
The Senior Opera replaced the
presentation of the class prophecy
which had been typical of pre-
vious class days.

This opera, instead of using the
music of some real opera, as had
been the custom, used popular
songs and was set in a small medi-
eval cloister a take-off on
school life here.

Among the original contribu-
tions were: (Tune: William Tell
Overture) /

"I'm the night watchman, brave

and strong
I see that nothing does go
wrong.

Best of Luck

I lock the doors up very tight
And chase the Tech boys home

at night.
"Down the collonade I pace,
I shine my flash light in every
face

And if a girl sits in his lap
On the car windows I do tap.
"When the whistle blows I
bound

Across the campus like a hound.
I'll check each closet on each
floor

While the thief runs out the
door.

"Every night I guard the gate
To see that no one slips out late.
And this is the motto of my
labors :

Good fences make good neigh-
bors."

Dean Angels

(Tune: Hernando's Hideaway)
"For we know a dark secluded
place,

The smoke inside obscures your
face.

The cards are hot, the music
loud,

You're with the Murphy Candler
crowd."

Special dramatic productions
began at 8:00 in the Maclean
Auditorium, and were followed
by the "Book-Burning" celebra-
tion where each senior tossed
in her book with an original
verse.

The Seniors then took their suc-
cessors, the Class of 1961, to some
mysterious location for their cap-
ping ceremony; this secret rite
marked the passing on of "Senior
Seniority" to the Class of 1961.

Jones Recognizes Top Athletes,
Saxon, Duvall Ail-Round Stars

By INA JONES

Among the members of the 1960 Graduating Class are
many fine athletes who, for four years, have shown skill and
sportsmanship in various sports. I would like to acknowl-
edge several of these girls who have played so hard and well.

It seems natural that the first

on my list should be Sylvia Sax-
on.

She has been one of the most
outstanding Seniors in every team
sport. In my opinion, her specialty
is basketball. Sylvia seems to rule
the court and her long, shots are
"campus-wide."

She has been known many
times to be dribbling down the
hockey field, successfully dodg-
ing her opponents, and telling a
joke at the same time.

Our appreciation and good
wishes go to award-winning Syl-
via: hockey star, basketball pro,
badminton champ, Softball and
volleyball expert, and a first-rate
sports column writer!

Another Senior whose athletic
ability ic to be honorably men-
tioned is Nancy Duvall.

"Duvy" is outstanding also as
a basketball player. During the
past season, she successfully
fortified the defense for the

It's a puzzlement:

When you're old enough to go to college,
you're old enough to go out with girls. When
you're old enough to go out with girls, who needs
college? Oh well, there's always Coke.
