Cuban Students Deplore Castro Tactics;
Butch Ivey Suggests 'Four or Five Bullets

By NANCY SIBLEY

Butch and Clara Ivey are married students with an inside knowledge of the Cuban situa-
tion denied to the American, which they will share with the campus during World Rela-
tions Week. Butch has traveled widely on the island and has become familiar with the
people and the nation; Clara is the daughter of a political prisoner, sentenced to thirty year's
imprisonment on the Isle of Pine for his attempt as a leader of what is similar to our Na-
tional Guard, to quell the Rebellion when it first began.

Butch demonstrated an amazing

comprehension of and familiarity
with the people and events in-
volved in the chaos of Cuba, but
he was quick to admit his in-
capability of interpreting the ac-
tions of "the mystery man of the
Cuban Revolution."

"For me there will always be
a question mark as to how he
arrived where he is," he said.
Castro

"At first, he seemed to have
nothing but the interest of Cuba
at heart.

October, 1959,
sentenced pro-
to twenty year's
for distributing
handbills from his airplane, urging
Cubans to reject the beginnings
of Communist infiltration), there
was definitely a complete swing-

ing to compromise only until he
could get the pro-Western men
out of the way.

"Or . . . whether he was willing
to listen to both sides, while in the
end, working only for Cuba."

Butch remarked that the other
masterminds of the Cuban Re-
bellion, such as Raoul Castro, were
less difficult to analyze.

Purges

He seemed to represent the
feelings of the majority of Cubans
when he spoke of an incident in-
volving another pro-Western Rev-
olutionary, Camilo Cienfuegos,
v.ho "next to Fidel Castro was
the most popular man in the
Revolution."

Cienfuegos* plane and crew dis-
appeared mysteriously, and the
aircraft was reported to have had
engine trouble.

But said Butch, "We all feel
Raoul had Camilo killed. There

seems no doubt as to the Com-
munistic interests of Fidel's
brother.

Prisons

A question about the prison on
the Isle of Pines, where Clara's
father is serving his sentence, in-
spired Butch to speak quite open-
ly of his impressions.

"Formerly the prison at the
Isle of Pine might have served as
a model of good prison conditions
and good prisoner treatment
there used to be much freedom
given to the prisoners there.

"Now, guards surround the
premises with looks so sullen that
you want to turn around and
run."

He spoke of prison conditions
as "an aggravating sight . . ."
Butch hastened to add that his
opinions were based on his ob-
servations of the strife in Cuba,
not on the fact that his wife's

Exec. Creates Sub-Committees
To Tap Opinions, Induce Action

In an unprecedented decision to involve students in active
legislation, the Executive Committee voted unanimously at
Fall Retreat to establish sub-committees composed of mem-
bers of Student Government Association.

Members of the association,

which include the entire student
body, will work with student
government officers in searching
out campus opinion, acting as a
sounding board for suggestions, and
making recommendations to stu-
dent government committees, com-
posed of members of Exec.

The move came following a dis-
cussion on chapels, presented by
Martha Lambeth, house president
of Hopkins and chairman of the
chapel committee.

Ellen Hines was appointed chair-
man of the sub-committee on
chapels.

Sub-Committees

Reliable sources have indicated
that other sub-committees will be
appointed as the need arises.

In speaking of the decision to in-
corporate working sub-committees

into student government. Missy
Moore, judicial chairman, cited the
"tremendous" amount of time
necessarily devoted to judicial
work.

"I hope that in this way students
whose active participation in stud-
ent government the Executive
Committee needs will have an addi-
tional channel for their ability
which they want and will use,"
Missy said.

Another suggestion for increas-
ing legislative effectiveness was
offered by Judy Holloway. who re-
commended that Monday night
sessions be devoted to judicial
work and that legislative work be
handled at another time.

No action was taken at the re-
treat on this proposal, though most
of the discussion following was in
favor of the proposal.

"We want to use the News . . ." Tough.

The News, perhaps contrary to popular opinion, .merely
wants to report. We don't want to propagandize. Confi-
dentially, we don't really want to criticize.

We want to paint word-pictures of campus
life in our columns. We want to get down
into the undertow of life at Agnes Scott
into the "maybe you'd better not print this"
news.

We want to say what is happening. You
who read the paper can add the adjectives.
You deserve the main dish without too
much parsley garnishing it.

Editorially, we don't want a handy-dandy
little outline to follow. We want to be a little bit ahead. |
Editorially, we envy the Socratic "gadfly."

This, of course, is not synonymous with rabble-rousing. We
want to be taken seriously.

This, of course, is not entirely in our hands- The news
itself is in the hand that shoots up for recognition at Open
Forum . . . the hand offering you a Nixon button . . . the
39 point hand at the bridge table . . . the fist gripped
tight around a hockey stick . . . the handshake between
races . . . the hand given a speaker in convocation.

It's also in the hands, negatively, of those with hands-off
attitudes. Only committed people make news.

And it's in the hands of those with a figurative finger-tip
raised to the lips. The responsibility for censoring news
should not necessarily be assumed by the very people who
make it.

We're going after the news. Don't hand us a vacuum super-
ficially sugar-coated to look appetizing. "Life at Agnes Scott"
. . . this is the big story. We want it. E.T.

European Traveler Reports
Trend in Pro-Americanism

Editor's Note: Nancy Stone, who toured Europe this summer is
Harriet Smith's guest columnist this week
By NANCY STONE

From August 1-6, I was a visitor in the home of Herr Josef
Buhlen in Essen-Dellwig, Germany, to meet and know my
pen pal of nine years standing. This brief visit was the high-
light of my European travel.

Essen is located in the north-
western part of Germany. It has a
population of 800,000 people, and is
one of the chief industrial centers
for steel and coal mining in Ger-
many.

Because of the famous A. Krupp
factory which is located there,
Essen was one of the main points
of U. S. bombing attacks during
World War II.

Prisoners of War

My Germ a n
family was not
reluctant to
speak at length
about the war.
Herr Buhlen and
both of his sons-
in - law were

prisoners - of -
war. However, the
feelings toward the Americans.

On the contrary, they feel them-
selves quite fortunate that the
United States was their enemy.

Hans >poke for all of them when
he said, "The first forty days of my
imprisonment were hard. After
that I was given clothes, food, and
shelter which I could not have
gotten at the hands of the im-
poverished German army."

Allies

My friend Karl told me later,
"During the immediate post-war
years. I feel that the U. S. and Bri-
tain were our saviors.

"We had barely enough food to

Classes To Cavori
In Feline Festivities

A Black Cat will haunt the
Campus Oct. 15, and when he
meets the freshman Black Cat
chairman, the class of 1964 will
have received its biggest tradi-
tional welcome.

Black Cat is devoted to fun and
festivities with class competition
the keynote for afternoon sweep-
stakes and skit and song competi-
tion in the evening.

Members of the chorus were
named Monday after freshman try-
outs. Junior class president Nancy
Bond and her committee selected
the freshmen chorus members and
will also chose freshman talent
next Monday.

Those chosen were Elizabeth
Stewart, Julie Norton, and Dianne
Davidson.

Ann Hutchinson, Black Cat
chairman, and Tricia Walker, Mor-
tar Board president, have been
working with the overall commit-
tee writing the script on a top-
secret theme and co-ordinating
plans for the day.

Committee members are Nina
Marable, Betsy Schenck, Sandy
Still, Ina Jones, Molly Schwab,
and Nancy Hall.

Jan Heard is in charge of the
chorus; Jo Allison Smith, music;
Anneke Schepman, choreography;
and Carroll Rogers, programs.

survive, no electricity, clothes, and
many of us were without homes.
The Marshall Plan, the Red Cross,
and the Berlin Airlift did much to
relieve our suffering."

Karl did his thesis for his college
graduation on the Nazi Resistance
group during the war.

Roosevelt and Churchill

When I questioned him about
the Germans' feelings about Roose-
velt and Churchill, he said, "They
are nearly forgotten, but we can
never have much respect for either
of them.

"Our Resistance Group begged
the U. S. and Great Britain for aid
to overthrow Hitler, and they
would not give it.

"Your country and Britain feared
the Resistance Group would simply
carry out Hitler's plans if and when
they overthrew him."

Adenauer and Ike

The Buhlen family feels that the
majority of the German people to-
day like and admire the United
States very much. Herr Buhlen
was very interested to know if
we like Adenauer.

I told him "yes." and asked him
what he thought about Eisen-
hower. Since Karl was interpret-
ing, he answered. "We like him
very much.

"We think he has been a great
president, and we advocate every-
thing you are trying to do to over-
throw the threat of Communism."

Summer Campaign
Nears Halfway Goal

The half-way mark in the $4.5
million Agnes Scott fund campaign
is in sight. During the summer,
alumnae and friends brought
pledge totals almost to the $2
million mark.

The campaign is having per
manent side-effects among alum-
nae. Clubs are starting where none
existed in Chattanooga, Memphis
and Raleigh, out of only six areas
thus far visited.

Mr. William French, director of
the campaign, said he did not know
of any factor which impressed and
challenged alumnae more than the
results of the campus drive.
Solicitation

"The women, even better than
men, are getting the job done,"
Mr. French said. "I don't know
when I've seen better. There is a
willingness to work. We have not
started anywhere empty-handed.

Alumnae records have been
modernized, chairmen selected
sales schools for solicitors held,
invitations printed and local pro-
motion engineered in preparation
for each area dinner.

Both Dr. McNair and Mr
French, commenting on the tre-
mendous activity, said they feel
confident that the goal Is well in
sight.

Leaders Hint Ignorance
On Handbook Changes

By VIRGINIA PHILIP

Eavesdropping among some of our campus leaders we have
become aware that many are gravely concerned over the
apparent ignorance of seniors, juniors, and sophomores of
the regulations and policies set forth in the Student Hand-
book.

Are we

Dottie Burns says a special
handbook class for upperclassmen
has been sug-
gested. This, we
cry, is an insult.
We can read and
understand with-
out coaching.

But the ques-
tion does not
concern our abil-
ity to compre-
hend. The question is
aware?

Are we aware of the new privi-
leges which go along with our
new 1960 class standing, and fully
familiar with the details of them?
Are we aware of the regulations
regarding members of classes
junior to our own? And are we
aware of the changes made in the
1960-61 handbook?

New privileges have been grant-
ed. For example, freshmen may
single date before afternoon time
limit. Juniors do not have to sign
out in the daytime when driving
during spring quarter.

Cabin rules have been simpli-
fied, and any three students can
go to the Grill at night.

Another revision was made in
the printing of explanations of
privileges which will be granted
throughout the year rather than
waiting to make "surprises" of
them at housemeetings.

This inclusion will prevent the
handbook's becoming obsolete by

the end of the session.

We agree with the editors of
the handbook that every Agnes
Scott student should familiarize
herself with the college's regula-
tions and policies so that she may
be an "intelligent, cooperative
member of the community."
ON AND OFF THE RECORD

Exec has initiated this year the
installation of student subcom-
mittees designed to tap general
student opinion.

We feel that this practice will
be an effective liason between
Exec and the student, and will
give the student a more real
chance of voicing her opinion and
of taking an active part in stu-
dent government.

Betsy Dalton, as chairman of
the Rules Committee, will wel-
come the opinions of students
who can offer helpful sugges-
tions and constructive criticism.
Ellen Hines is heading a sub-
committee designed to study our
system of chapel programs. The
committee is considering the
possibilities of more varied and
more appealing programs.

Two suggestions include more
frequent showing of slides and
films in Campbell and having
Kub discussions during the chapel
hour.

We hope migrants to the Grill
will speak to this group and that
its work will result in a greater
response to the 10:30 bell.

Antics Of Marlyn, Yves
Entice Atlanta's Audiences

By ELLEN MIDDLEBROOKS

Entertainment in Atlanta this fall is as vivid and as varied
as the turning leaves. Three new films made their debuts at
downtown theaters this week.

"The Angel Wore Red" playing

at Loew's Grand stars Ava Gard-
ner as a prostitute and Dirk
Bogarde as a disillusioned priest,
both of whom work fof the rebel
forces in the Spanish Civil War.

Nunnally Johnston's screenplay
pits both sides against the middle
and the result tends to divide the
audience's loyalties as the story
unfolds, maintaining interest
throughout the film

"Let's Make
Love" opened at
the Fox'with the
bosomy Marilyn
Monroe and the
latest French
heart-throb in the
person of Yves
Mont and (Simone
S i g n o r e t \s
spouse ) ..

Not the best in entertainment,
but it offers comedy with music
and will probably do well box
office wise.

Milton Berle. Bing Crosby, and
Gene Kelly get into the picture
with each performing in his milieu.
Hitchcock Intrigue

The Peachtree Art offers in-
trigue, murder and espionage a la
Hitchcock in a remake of his pic-
ture "The 39 Steps" which stamped

thrill pictures.

Taina Elg and Kenneth More are
starring with Brenda de Banzie
and Barry Jones heading a strong
supporting cast.

cjCetter to the Editor

Editor, Agnes Scott News:

Why doesn't the paper have a
better name?

At least there was something dis-
tinctive in being called iHie Agonis-
tic. Surely our liberally educated
alumnae and friends were exposed
to the term "agnostic" long enough
to learn how to spell it.

Certainly they were long enough
exposed to appreciate the critical
difference between its spelling and
the name of the newpaper.

Doesn't a mouldy, mediocre,
compromise-chosen banner some-
what depress the news beneath it?

Somebody must have imagination
enough to offer a change in Open
Forum.

Interested Student
Editor's note: We vnll be exces-
sively open to suggested mimes.
We might even raise some payola

for the winning suggestion if there

Orientation Activities Include
New Intellectual Discussions

By BETH CRAWFORD

During the first week of orientation 216 freshmen repre-
senting 22 states, the District of Columbia, and 3 foreign
countries received their initial impressions of Agnes Scott.

The Orientation Committee,
headed by Dottie Burns, and the
four boards, began last spring to
plan a more well-balanced and
realistic presentation of the col-
lege community.

Handbook class teachers were
told not only to instruct but also
to give logical foundations for
Agnes Scott policies, and to give
freshmen a chance to evaluate
the rules for themselves.

On the social side, rush was
organized under Sally Blomquist
and Betsy Boatwright. The larg-
est number of freshmen ever par-
ticipated in rush activities this
past week.

Intellectual Orientation

This year critical discussion of
an intellectual subject was made
a part of the freshman's introduc-
tion to Agnes Scott.

Letters advising that freshmen
read Camus' The Stranger and
sections of Reiseman's The Lone-
ly Crowd were sent out prior to
the opening of school.

Freshmen's Views

Freshmen indicate that Agnes
Scott has been portrayed with ac-
curacy and that a desire to enter
into various realms of activity, in-
tellectual as well as extracurricu-
lar has been instilled in them.

Of course, all the problem that
plague freshmen have not been re-
medied. Complaints, "When do y'all
sleep around here?" and the un-
answerable question, "How does
Dr. Alston remember all those
names?" are still heard.

Summer Campus Improvements Include
Hydrants, Amphitheatre Seats, Bookcases

Summer's face-lifting has made
the campus a more accommodat-
ing lady.

One of the improvements is the
installation of a new water line
from South McDonough to College
Avenue, crossing the quadrangle
between Main and the library,
with installation of new fire hy-
drants and fire hydrant connec-
tions.

Other changes include the fur-
ther clearing of the entrance to
Campbell Science Hall by razing
a faculty house at 214 South Mc-
Donough and the purchase of
property for faculty housing at
315 South McDonough, 302 South
McDonough, and 184 South Cand-
ler streets.

Faculty offices have also been
constructed. These include four
on the ground floor of Buttrick
and one on the ground floor of
Presser. Three storage areas for
administrative offices on the
ground floor of Buttrick have
been built.

New permanent concrete seats
have been built in the amphi-
theatre a gift given in honor of
his parents by Mr. Robert R. Snod-
grass of Atlanta.

Automatic fire alarm systems
have been installed in all cottages,
and fire exits in Ansley and Alex-
ander have been added. The in-
stallation in each cottage of a re-
frigerator for student use is an-
other improvement.

One of the wards on the sec-
ond floor of the infirmary has
been converted into two isola-
tion rooms. A new bath has
also been added.

New candy machines and auto-
matic coffee-perkers have been
placed in Campbell science hall,
the basement of Main, the Hub
and the ground floor of Rebekah.

A new type of coin changer has
also been added to the Hub.

New bookcases for Alexander
and Ansley are to be installed
soon.

father is a prisoner there.

"My mind was convinced of the
situation before I knew Clara,"
he said, "and I know there are
those who deserve to be imprison-
ed, but there are many others
who, like Clara's father, have
been unjustly treated."

Soviet Alliance

In regard to the future of Cuba,
Butch spoke optimistically. He
said that the present strife had
equally divided the people by July,
1960, into those with the gov-
ernment and those against it.

"But since July, most of the
latter group have left the island.

"And until they can become
awakened to the imminent danger
of the Soviet alliance enough to
organize their forces and return
to Cuba, the government will re-
main strongly Communistic."

Butch explained that the pres-
ent government is the "estab-
lished" government of Cuba, and
as such is free to ask military aid
from the Soviets.

He said that American aid could
be accomplished only by the
recognition of a government
established by a counter-revolu-
tionary movement. Then by the
principles of the Monroe Doc-
trine, the United States might
send troops to Cuba.

Solutions

"Really, there are two solutions
to the crisis," said Butch. "One
of them is the Christian solution."

He urged a stronger mission-
ary movement within the Pres-
byterian Church, which comprises
the largest Protestant member-
ship in Cuba.

He feels that the work of the
Church might lead to the awaken-
ing of the people: not only
spiritually but, in addition, po-
litically.

"If the Presbyterian Mission in
Cuba had been better organized
before the trouble began," he said,
"the problems of Cuba faces to-
day wouldn't exist."

When asked about the other
solution, he spoke first of
"some four or five men in the
top echelon of Cuban govern-
ment."

With Fidel Castro at their head,
"a very impressionable person,"
the others, Raoul among them,
comprise the policy-makers.

Butch's Solution: "Four or five
well-placed bullets . . ."

Leaving retreat activities behind, AA members take a breather
through Georgia pines after winning a tug-of-war with Student
Government.

AA Flexes Biceps, New Ideas
Emphasizing Full Participation

By INA JONES

After a vigorous three days of warming up muscles and
ideas at the retreat, the Athletic Board returned to the
campus eager to begin a new year.

At the open house on Sunday
September 18, the freshmen were
introduced to the Cabin. During
the summer a
new water heat-
er was installed;
at retreat the
Board proposed
buying bed-
spreads and a
few pictures.

Rules for Cabin
parties are in-
cluded in the A. A. Calendar;
plans should be made through Dot
Porcher, cabin manager.

Hockey season began Monday
when students signed up for
class teams. Kay Younger will
be working with class managers
in planning the competitions
each Friday.
Nancy Hall, Spirit Chairman,
urges everyone to attend the pep
rally before the first hockey
game. A. A. will also sponsor Hey
Day on October 12.

Jane Weltch, Archery Manager,
will conduct open archery every
Tuesday afternoon from 3:30-5:30.
On October 25, four people will
be asked to compete in an in-
vitational tournament.

Advanced and intermediate
tennis singles begin October 7
for all interested students. Ann
Thomas, Tennis Manager, in-
forms participants that they
will be playing for their class
as well as for individual points.
A list is posted in the mail room
for those interested in the singles
trurnament. An additional list

can be found on the AA bulletin
board for freshmen in order to
help them find tennis partners.

Plans are being made for mixed
doubles with Emory and Semi-
nary boys, an intercollegiate
tournament and a campus tourna-
ment in the spring.

Lelia Jones recommends the
swimming meet on November
8. A good time to practice is
Monday-Friday from 4-5 p.m.
during open swimming.
The trophy case has been re-
paired and trophies are on display
in the gym. Mary Beth Thomas,
Recorder, and Miss Kate McKemie,
Advisor, are revising the point
system. Students are reminded to
post hours on the sports board.

The Athletic Board is "at your
service." Sweatshirts, blazers, the
AA Calendar, as well as all sports
and sings, are made available for
your enjoyment and convergence.

Alumnae Quarterly

Countdown

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Dear Aggie,

Here I am back at school again
after the long, hot summer! Some
of my "Scottmates" have returned
to their boyfriends while others
have left theirs behind, and still
others have yet to meet that
"special someone" (sure hope they
do so I'll have something to write
about ! )

The summer was an exciting
one for Jan Heard who returned
with a Beta pin belonging to
Charles Baucum from Shreve-
port, La., who is a senior at W&L
in Lexington, Va. Also Joyce
Townsend is now sporting the Phi
Sigma Kappa pin of Ray Pack
who attended the University of
Tennessee.

Louise Kimsey became Mrs.
George Sheftell on September 10,
not without the aid of the former
third Walters crew who turned
out full force for the wedding.
George was a former KA at
Georgia, and he and Louise will
make their home in Augusta.

Surprising news was the fall
wedding of Virginia Thomas who
married Scott Shackleford of Roa-
noke, Virginia. Virginia and Scott
will complete their studies at
George Washington University.

Penny Williams plans to wed
Bill Tongate, a real Texas rancher
and former student at Texas A&M.
Another profitable summer was
spent by Ginger Marks who is
wearing the Theta Chi pin of Tom
Espy from Auburn.

Nancy Glass is also back with
an additional possession . . . the
Delta Sigma Phi pin of Herb Little
who goes to N. C. State. Not to
be outdone, Mason Collier brought
back with her the Deke pin be-
longing to Dick Fogg of U. Va.

Mary Ellen Barnes celebrated
her birthday Sunday by getting
pinned to Gus Hendricks, EAE
senior at Tech from Jacksonville,
Florida; and they said it couldn't
be done!

Linda Lentz is starling her
junior year off with a bang. She
received her diamond from 'Buddy
Woods this weekend! Buddy, a
Beta, graduated from Tech in
June and is now stationed with the
Navy in Athens.

Social Council, I. F. C. Plan
Jam Session, Street Dance

One thousand Tech fraternity
pledges will invade the campus
Saturday night for the street dance
sponsored in honor of the fresh-
man class by Social Council.

Blaring against a background of
Japanese lanterns and red-checked
tablecloths will be the music of
Ray Stevens' band, playing from
8:30 until midnight.

Prior to the dance, the ATO
combo will entertain with a jam
session in the Hub.

During intermission Tech-Scott
newcomers will hear sophomore
D'Etta Brown sing while the per-
ennial tulip kids perform their
"Tip Toe Through the Tulips"
routine. A Sigma Chi singing group
will also be on hand.

The dance breaks with tradition
in inviting only fraternity pledges
to attend. Informed sources indi-
cate that the dance was postponed
in order to include those Tech
freshmen who do not attend the
YMCA-sponsored orientation camp.

Social council has invited upper
classmen to the affair.

Students Letter Petitions
Exec For Second Smoker

By NANCY SHERIFF

A proposal tasking for the privilege of smoking in one of
the rooms of Walters Basement has been handed to the
Executive Council members, Missy Moore and Betsy Dalton.

The number of girls who smoke

at Agnes Scott increases every
year, the letter states.

A survey taken by Nishan
Avedikian on June 6, 1960, showed
that thirty percent of the fresh-
men, 9ixty percent of the sopho-

Government Official
To Discuss Exams

Dr. Belton Bryan, executive di-
rector of the state department's
Bureau of Security and Consular
Affairs, will be on campus Oct.
12 to discuss diplomatic careers
and the foreign service exam.

He will speak to Miss Anna
Green Smith's 11 a.m. sociology
class and to Dr. Walter Posey's
3 p.m. history class.

Students who cannot meet Mr.
Bryan at these times may arrange
group appointments with Miss
lone Murphy.

Closing date on foreign service
examination applications is Oct.
24. The test is scheduled for Dec.
10. Miss Murphy has several
pamphlets and a limited supply
of sample tests in the Vocational
Office.

All interested in taking the
exam are advised by Miss Murphy
to take the federal service exam-
ination for practice.

mores, fifty percent of the juniors,
and sixty percent of the seniors
smoked.

The letter notes that the Hub
is overcrowded and will be until
the new Student Center can be
opened.

The need for a quiet place
where smoking would be per-
missible was also listed, so stu-
dents in every class would not
interrupt their studies with fre-
quent visits to the Hub for a
cigarette.

This privilege would not in-
convenience non-smokers if it
was designated to one place, the
letter mentioned.

It also said that outside visitors
would receive a better impression
of the campus, with the absence
of girls coming to and from the
Hub in their study attire.

Though further investigation
has shown it to be impossible
to smoke in Walters Basement be-
cause of the fire hazard, the need
for a quiet place to study and
smoke has been recognized by the
administration.

Judicial Chairman Missy Moore
said that the possibility of another
smoker would now be considered,
and praised the interest of stu-
dents in active participation in
Student Government.

Chaotic Terror of August Congo Evacuation

Mrs- Lachlan C. Vass, B.A. Agnes Scott, '38 and mother of sophomore Edna Vass, is the

Congo since 1940. They were completing their fourth term when they were evacuated

Arts Festival To Begin April 14;
Committee Stresses Creativity

By CAROLE SUE JACKSON

April 14-22 has been designated Arts Festival Week, an-
nounced Betty Bellune, student chairman of the Steering
Committee. Miss Wilburn serves as faculty co-chairman of
the committee. Sandy Still is secretary.
Other student members are Pat

Ervin and Margaret Roberts.
Faculty members include Miss
Boney, Miss Huper, Mr. Miller,
Mrs. Pepperdene, and Nancy Ed-
wards.

The Steering Committee has de-
cided that the center of attention
will be creativity on the Agnes
Scott campus.

The Arts Festival Week will
be divided into periods of
emphasis on each of the five
arts.

April 14-15 will be drama
emphasis. During this time Black-

friars will present a production.

Art will be emphasized on April
16-17 when there will be an ex-
hibit of student art.

April 18-19 will stress the
field of writing. Lecture Asso-
ciation will present a talk by
John Ciardi.
April 20-22 will be devoted to
music and dance emphasis. The
production is yet undecided, but
Dance Group will participate.

Committees from the student
body and faculty have been set
up for each of the five arts.

Refuge

Shortly after, the authorities
urged the family to join others
taking refuge in the IMOKASA
building on the main street of the
city.

By the next morning, the build-
ing was completely surrounded by
attacking troops. Relief forces
were prevented from landing by
gasoline drums placed up and
down the runway.

"In spite of the circumstances,"
Mrs. Vass wrote, "we went aheao\
with the regular Sunday morning
service how strange to hear the
familiar bell ringing against the
cries of guns of war."

Evacuation

"Then Mr. Louis Wanui, the
Legal Representative of the Pres-

it wisest for all concerned, for
the sake of the native churches
as well as the missionaries, that
we leave.

"Unless you yourself have
walked through your own home,
knowing that you are leaving it
just as it is, perhaps for good, you
cannot imagine what an experi-
ence it is.

chaotic welter of unutterable
longing and stifling emotion that
such an hour brings?"

Slough of Despond

Overheard in the Hub: "It's not that I dislike Scott I
just don't particularly like it here I'm not happy/' Some
of us, unfortunately, are a bit bewildered to discover that
happiness isn't paid for by the over-all fees but, rather, must
be sought for and earned.

If you're a bit lonely, disappointed, or even
shocked that you're not the "big wheel" you
were in high school, undoubtedly the most
casual thing to do is withdraw and master
a steely-eyed I-don't-care attitude.

Drown your private sorrows in a litter of
broken "Mickey Mouse" rules and above
all, don't study. Someone may see you and
think you are trying.

If that plan doesn't appeal to you, examine
another possible reaction: become a robot. You, too, can
learn how to set your feet mechanically only toward Buttrick,
the dining hall, the library, and then back to your room.

At all costs, avoid the Hub because from all those loud
raucous sounds that you hear when you plod by, it sounds
as if some element on campus might be having a good time
and this might arouse you from that pleasurable, numb-
ing vacuum.

So you're perhaps not estactic about the pat phrase, "life
at Agnes Scott" nobody's going to beg you to be. Why not
examine your gripes and do something about it? Aloofness
of either type is definitely not the answer.

Even if you are not a member of one of the smaller clubs
on campus, you do hold membership in C.A., A. A., Social
Council, and Student Government. Muster up all that un-
appreciated energy and get out of your rut.

So you're not a major office holder, why not raise a hand
in student forum and see if you can't contribute something?
So you're not the starting wing on your class hockey team;
you can set aside an hour and join the majority of your class
in the bleachers.

Everyone can't be a scholar of Honor Roll status; forget
the grades and concentrate on learning.
So what? Happiness. L.S.

History - Being - Made

"The world outside" is a dated expression, even among
those who erroneously assume that Agnes Scott is a prepara-
tion for life. It is life. We are in the world.

If you don't believe it, go to Walter's Base-
ment tonight and hear Mrs. Vass and Butch
and Clara Ivey tell you what they saw in the
Congo and in Cuba.

You who know that encountering life is
no myth don't have to be convinced.

Not one of us can afford to miss the semi-
nars.

We are all wrong if we let the "academic
atmosphere" become our private cage of
cotton-batting. We are condemning ourselves each time we
pass up history-being-made.

And hearing people who made history, who saw the
celebrities now making history, who feel the mood of a peo-
ple determining their nation because they were of these
people . . hearing this is hearing history.

This is better than newspaper and radio it's first hand
life.

Hearing them perhaps we will feel compelled to read
papers and listen to newscasts. Because maybe Mrs. Vass
and the Iveys will bring home the point that we, too, are
identified with the world. E.T.

Students Ask Re-vamp
Of

To the Editor:

There are very few quiet places
to study on Sunday. The library
is needed desperately for this. If
the school cannot afford to have
the librarians on duty, volunteer
students could open it and close
it for a study hall.

Many cottages and dorms do not
have adequate private spaces to
study.

The library has to be open for
these people to do effective work
without constant distractions.

An alternative to Sunday might
be Saturday night. It is very dif-
ficult to lose all Sunday and the
night before and keep up in one's
work.

We plead with student govern-
ment and the administration to do
something quickly.

We understand that the attrac-
tive patio to the library has been
closed to students because of books
being left out there.

Students using their own books
could be permitted to use this
area.

It is a shame to waste money on
new umbrellas for a spot which is
prohibited.

Studious Scottie

Philip Fights Filthy Hub;
Questions Chapel Close

By VIRGINIA PHILIP

Hub-goers all read the warning that appeared on the door
of the Hub almost immediately after classes began. Every
year messiness in the Hub is bemoaned by everyone.

This year a visitor to the Hub

must find it hard to believe that
all the debris which confronts him
has accumulated during one day.
and that a har-
rassed Eva con-
stantly scurries
about trying to
maintain some
semblance of or-
der.

A floor car-
peted with coke
bottles, ashtrays
piled high and spilt on sofas, cof-
fee cups overturned on card
tables do not make the Hub an
appealing place to frequent.
Neither do cigarette butts and
bubble-gum on the floor, maga-
zines and newspapers slung
everywhere, and heterogeneous
103 card decks speak well of
either our individual or our Ag-
nes Scott breeding.
The Hub should be the concern
not only of the Social Council
Board, but also of every member
of Social Council ,the entire stu-
dent body.

Internationally Speaking

Smith Cites Foreign Policy
As Vital Issue of Campaign

By HARRIET SMITH

As a belligerant Khrushchev harangues the free world in
a sinister propaganda campaign, Castro leads a neighboring
country closer and closer to communism; the Congo becomes
a new battleground between Russia and the U. N.; and the
cold war in general grows increasingly frigid, the question
of foreign policy looms as the most vital issue of the 1960
Presidential campaign.

That both candidates are alert

to the situation was most evident
in the recent
television debate,
for the phrase
"foreign policy"
rang out repeat-
edly in a pro-
gram devoted to
domestic issues.

Moreover, in a
Neivsweek s u r-
vey, both Nixon and Kennedy de-
clared their conviction that the
campaign will hinge primarily on
foreign issues.

The Social Council Board has
recognized the need for increased
student co-opei 4 ation in helping to
keep the Hub neat and clean; and
for this reason a Hub Committee,
composed of two members from
each class will be carefully se-
lected each week.

Those chosen to work in con-
junction with Social Council this
week are Betty Bellune, Rose-
mary Kittrell, Lucy Schow,
Meade Boswell, Ann Hardesty,
Lucy Callaway, Suzanne West,
and Ann Kennedy.
We join the Social Council Board
in urging that every student aid
in the effort to keep the Hub in
order, for it is only through stu-
dent co-operation that we may be
assured that the Hub will remain
open.

While the Hub is none the less
one of our favorite campus lo-
calities, we must admit to its be-
ing the source of a second head-
ache, this one perhaps more im-
portant because it involves our
honor system.

It has long been a fact that
the Hub is closed during the
chapel hour. It has not, how-
ever, been an accepted fact.
Last year it was necessary to
lock the doors of the Hub in order
to keep people out, and this year
the trend seems to be the same.
Such practice does not seem har-
monious with an honor system.

We understand that the 10:30
period is set aside for chapel pro-
grams and we agree that campus
activity should focus upon these
programs.

We do not, however, agree
that the student body should be
deprived of alternatives to chapel
attendance. And since the Hub,
and not the dormitories as well,

Foreign Policy

A study of the foreign policy
planks reveals that the parties
are in general agreement over the
ends to be accomplished in the
diplomatic field, but, as we are
constantly reminded, it is "the
means to the ends," the attitudes
of the candidates on which dis-
agreement occurs.

The Republicans, with Nixon as
their spokeman, have rooted this
area of campaign on the conten-
tion that America is in a strong
position in foreign and domestic
affairs, and that any intimation to
the contrary is food for propa-
ganda-hungry' enemies.

Republicans

With confidence as their key-
note, the Republicans advocate a
continuation of the Eisenhower
policies which "have served us so
well." with no real deviations
from that stand.

European Scene

'Means to End 7 Distinguishes
Russian, Polish Communists

By PAT ERVIN

The rain was falling in that cold, penetrating drizzle that
seems to seep through any exterior and thoroughly chill
what lies beneath.

Composi t e 1 y
the picture was
one of a sad drab-
ness tinged with
the lingering hor-
rors of war. Our
young Polish
friend, Bill, seem-
ed to have this
same impression
as he looked out over his native
city Warsaw.

Bill pointed to a river that ran
through part of the city and told
us that the Russians, during the
war, had camped on the other
side, refusing to cross it, while
the Germans occupied and almost
completely demolished the city on
the opposite side.

However, the action of the Red
Army during the war is only one
of the reasons the Polish people,
according to Bill, dislike the So-
viet Union.

Though Poland is one of the
People's Republics and to a great
extent under the control of dic-
tates of the Soviet Union, there
is a spirit of freedom and in-
dividual initiative in Poland

that seems to be lacking else-
where.

(Except perhaps in Hungary be-
fore this spirit was crushed be-
neath Red Army feet and tanks.)
Bill, himself a member of the
Polish Communist Party, ad-
mitted that he dreamed of the
day when the entire world would
be ruled by the proletariat.
Thus the ultimate goal of the
Russian and Polish Communist
Parties is identical.

However, as Bill emphasized,
the means to this end are radical-
ly different. He felt that the So-
viet State is willing to sacrifice
anything, including its own people,
to strengthen itself and gain
assistance in the attainment of
this goal.

"They put the idea before the
man; this is wrong. The man is
the important thing; he comes
before any idea.

"The Polish people interpret
communism with the primary im-
portance attached to the man and
his well-being rather than the
idea."

'Profile of Ideal' Panel Launches Alumnae
As ASC Faculty Stress Individual Action

By LINDA LENTZ

"Profile of an Ideal" has been selected as the theme for
the programs this year of the Atlanta Agnes Scott Alumnae
Club.

The first meeting of the group,
a luncheon held on Tuesday, Sep-
tember 27th at the Cherokee
Country Club, featured a kick-off
panel discussion.

The panel of speakers, a group
well acquainted with Agnes Scott
and her students, was moderated
by Dr. Wallace J. Alston.

Speaking briefly on "What is
the Ideal?", Dr. Alston ex-
plained the purpose of Agnes
Scott as a ''small independent
liberal arts college for women."
He endorsed the comment of
the Visitation Team of the Pres-
byterian Church, U.S.A., who after
last year's visit to our campus,
said there were "no gimmicks or
frills at Agnes Scott."

Dean Benton C. Kline, Jr. spoke
on "The Perpetuation of the Ideal,"
discussing the establishment of
our new Speech Department and
the fact that many of our fresh-
men are being faced with calculus
these days.

Dean Kline assured the group
that Agnes Scott had altered
her aims not at all.
Dr. Margaret W. Pepperdene of
the English Department was a

third member of the panel; Miss
Pepperdean chose as her topic,
"Why Have an Ideal?"

Dr. J. R. McClain, speaking on
the "History of the Ideal," con-
trasted Agnes Scott's success
with the many "college funerals"
which were being held at the time
of the birth of our school.

Miss Ann Worthy Johnson,
Director of Alumnae Affairs
('38) , completed the panel with
her remarks on the "Ideal in
Action."

Miss Johnson said that in a
survey taken of Atlanta Area
alumnae recently, it was found
that 95% are taking an active
part in church organizations and
that all civic organizations in
Atlanta have our alumnae on
their boards.

November will find six alum-
nae husbands discussing "Images
of the Ideal."
Miss Carrie Scandrett and the
presidents of the various campus
organizations will speak next
month on "Living the Ideal on
Campus."

Serving as president of the At-
lanta group this year is Mary
Louise Bealor Humphries (Mrs.
Ewing), '46; her first vice presi-
dent and program chairman is
Betty Lou Houck Smith (Mrs.
Bealy), '35, mother of Jo Allison
Smith.

Faculty Wives Plan
Fall Dinner Meeting

The Faculty Wives' Club, or-
ganized in 1952 as a purely social
media, is having its quarterly
meeting Sunday night at the fac-
ulty club.

Mrs. Frierson, this year's presi-
dent, says that fifty people are
expected to attend this function.

Traditionally, members have
been requested to bring their
husbands, in addition to a box
lunch, to the first meeting.

Four new members, Mrs.
Michael Brown, Mrs. Marion
Clark, Mrs. Charles F. Martin,
and Mrs. Fred K. Parish will join
the group.

This first meeting promises to
be particularly enjoyable, re-
ports Mrs. Frierson, for the sum-
mer found members scattered all

is closed, we feel that the prac-
tice is inconsistent and selective.

Many people, occasionally or
frequently, do not wish to attend
chapel. Some choose to go to the
Grill, some to Watson's, some to
their dorms, and some to the Hub.
Those among the latter are dis-
crininated against.

While we do not agree with the
rule that the Hub be closed dur-
ing the chapel hour, we feel that
as long as the rule is in effect it
should be respected.

In 1958, the student body voted
to overrule a motion that this
regulation be changed. A rule
change such as this requires a
two-thirds vote of those present
at the balloting. We invite those
who differ with this regulation
to introduce the matter in open
forum tomorrow.

'Iron Horses Provide Hobby
As Profs Enter 'Cinderama'

By JUDY LITTLE

Several Agnes Scott professors are involved in an exhibit
at the Southeastern Fair this year. Called Cinderama, the
exhibit is located all year round at Lakewood Park near the
North Gate.

Housed in the museum are old
railroad, bus, and street-car equip-
ment which has been restored by
the Atlanta Chapter of the Na-
tional Railway Historic Society.

Dr. George Rice, president of
the Atlanta Chapter, and around
eight other Chapter enthusiasts
have been spending this summer's
Saturday afternoons scraping, re-
painting, and polishing an outdated
Atlanta streetcar.

Paula Wilson went along on
one of these excursions to help
with the work.

During this year, the mem-
bers of the Chapter have al-
most doubled their collection.
Besides the Atlanta streetcar,
they have acquired a Seaboard
Railroad work-train car, and an
Atlanta transit bus.
They already had two steam

Dr. Rice sums up the purpose of
the Atlanta Chapter of NRHS as
' the maintenance of present rail-
way equipment and the acquisi-
tion of more equipment."

He says that the club's next
project will be the securing of
an 80-foot Pullman car.

Besides maintaining and extend-
ing the museum, the Atlanta Chap-
ter sponsors rail excursion trips.
The next trip will be the Autumn
Leaf Excursion on Saturday, Oc-
tober 29.

The tour will begin in Atlanta
at 8:30 a.m. and will go all the
way to Etowa, Tennessee and back
to Atlanta by 7:00 p.m. that night.
Tickets will cost $7.00 per person.

Chaperonage for any interested
Scott students will be provided by
Dr. Rice who will be going on the
tour.

Hockey Teams Promise Battle;
Returning Varsity Pose Threat

By LELIA JONES

Judging from the number of people coming out for hockey
this year, I think the season will be an interesting one. The
seniors, as defending champions, are going to have quite a
job on their hands retaining their title.

With Nancy Stone as their '

goalie, however, they stand a good
chance of re-
maining unde-
feated.

Betsy Dal ton,
Paula Wilson, the
manager, Small
Hall, and Tricia
Walker are more
to watch
throughout the
season.

Needless to say, the other classes
will be making their bid on next
Friday afternoon, too.

The juniors have Caroline
Askew, Peggy Mitchell, and Su-
san Alexander among others re-
turning this year.
According to Meade Boswell,
though, the juniors need more
players out supporting their team.

No longer inexperienced, the
sophomores hope to make a good
showing this year.

Brownie Faucette, the mana-
ger, Kay Younger, Kathryn
Mobley, Ina Jones, and Nancy
Sheriff all played last year and
are back again.

The sophomore goalie Annabelle
Freeman, who improved consider-
ably last year, should be even
better now.

The team that might prove to
be a bigger threat than expected
is the freshman team.

Although new, the freshmen
have some experience behind
them. I've heard that Mary Lou
Laird, the manager, and Eleanor
Lee have played previously at
Collegiate.

are supposed to be very good at

On each team there are a num-
ber of new faces, such an Anne

Bruce. These girls, as newcomers,
are also ones to watch.

Next Friday afternoon, the
official beginning of the hockey
season will tell part of the tale.

The Community Education Serv-
ice at Emory University sponsors
the series.

Last spring quarter, Dr. Calder
conducted a similar course at the
Emory University Night School.

Since the course was filled up
quickly and many people were
turned away, the Community Ed-
ucation service invited Dr. Calder
to repeat his course this time on

(Continued from Page 2)

A great deal of Republican
emphasis falls on the assertion
that, by virtue of experience,
Nixon and Lodge are more cap-
able of dealing with world lead-
ers and decisions in international
relations.

Approaching the issue from a
different angle, Kennedy and the
Democrats point to the tense
world situation and the tremendous
advances of the U.S.S.R. as dra-
matic evidence that the United
States must step up competition
and revamp her foreign policy in
order to stay in the running.

Democrats

Accordingly, they propose to re-
vise the policy-making machinery
of the government, to review the
system of alliances and pacts, to
begin a shift from military aid to
economic developments whenever
possible, and to close the "gaps"
missile, space, and limited war.

In the last analysis, the real de-
cision facing the American voter
in the foreign policy area is this:
Am I satisfied with the present
situation of America in world
affairs and the foreign policy de-
cisions under the Republican ad-
ministration, or do I believe that
a change is in order?

Debaters to Travel,
Vie in Tournaments

The Agnes Scott debating club
plans to tour southern colleges
this year. In addition to the tour-
nament which it sponsors at Scott
every year, Pi Alpha Phi will at-
tend discussion tournaments, re-
gular debates, and will debate with
Tech and Emory.

"New members will be eligible
for the trips," said president Ellen
Hines. The club sponsor and coach,
Dr. George Hayes, professor of
English, will be the final selector
of the teams.

Campus Awaits Black Cat Kick-off

Celebration Begins With Sweepstakes
As Four Classes Compete For Honors

Ann Hutchinson, Black Cat Chairman, enthusiastically reviews plans
for the event with class chairmen Margaret Moses, Virginia Allen
and Ellen Hines.

Frosh Elect Margaret Moses
As Their Black Cat Chairman

Margaret Moses, a freshman from Columbia, S- C, was
elected in student meeting Thursday to lead her class during
the Black Cat festivities.

Margaret is in charge of fresh-
man talent and the sports and
spirit events of Saturday after-
noon.

Boyd Bauer of Hamilton, Ga.
was elected Song Chairman.

Boyd said that her committee
has "made up an original tune
with guitar accompaniment."

These freshmen are working
very closely with Mortar Board
President Tricia Walker and Ann
Hutchinson, Black Cat Chairman,
in preparing for Saturday's tra-
ditional welcome of the incoming
class.

Library Staff Opens
Terrace For Study

The Staff of McCain Library
has posted a notice on the bulletin
board informing students that the
terrace will be open for study each
day until 5 p.m.

In last week's issue of The
Agnes Scott News, a letter to the
editor expressed the desire for the
terrace to be reopened.

Apparently responding to student
need, the library staff made the
additional study space available.

Kennedy Supporters Campaign,
Discuss Politics With Shoppers

By CAROLE SUE JACKSON

"For an unusual experience, nothing beats campaigning
for a presidential candidate/' reported campus Democrats.
Last Saturday loyal Democrats canvassed shopping areas,
collecting "Dollars for Democrats" and giving out Kennedy-
Johnson stickers.

Armed with plastic hats and
badges, Scott students chatted
with shoppers, trying to deter-
mine their political opinions.

When asked to contribute to the
party funds, many people shyly
shook their heads and walked fur-
tively away.

Several said loudly, "No thanks,
I'm a Republican" a phrase not
heard publicly in Georgia until the
last few years.

One man replied with a
laugh, "I'm a Communist/'

Others replied more favorably,
emptying their pockets of change,
sometimes including dollar bills.

Children were eager to plunk
their pennies into the cardboard
containers and to paste Kennedy
stickers on the bicycles.

People were generally willing
to discuss their political opin-
ions. One spry, elderly man
talked for five minutes without

a pause on the merits of Ken-
nedy.

Several admitted that they
were undecided. Everywhere shop-
pers said they had been watch-
ing the Nixon-Kennedy television
debates.

The religious issue came up only
once. A laborer dressed in white
overalls with a red rose pinned to
his shirt retorted, "I'm not voting
for Kennedy because he's a
Catholic."

Even though the Scott solicitors
returned to school with aching
feet and exhaustion, each agreed
that campaigning is really a
treat.

I port of Kennedy's Warm
Springs reception.

The mystery of Black Cat Day and the theme this year will have to wait until the eve-
ning of October 15 to be revealed, thanks to Black Oat Chairman, Ann Hutchinson, and her
tight-lipped confederates. And to get even an inkling of one of the class songs is the most
difficult task on this earth!!

Ann says she is just thrilled
with the way all of the girls have
so enthusiastically contributed
their time and talents to the suc-
cess of the occasion.

"We've had our rough times,
granted, but it hasn't been fine
enough!" asserts Ann.

The festivities will begin with
the Sweepstakes at 4:30 under
the direction of Kay Younger
and Mason Collier.
The sweepstakes, which will
take on the character of the Olym-
pics this year, will be followed
by a picnic on the hockey field

How did Black Cat come to be
such an integral part of campus
life? The first Black Cat Day was
held in 1915.

It seems the sophomore
classes were not always the
helpful, friendly classes they
are today, but instead gave the
freshmen a rugged introduc-
tion to college life by means of
rough hazing which lasted for
several weeks.

Dr. Sweet, the college physician,
thought it would save on clothes,
tempers, and health if the class
rivalry became a "battle of wits"
rather than a "battle of fists."

Black Cat became a competition

Blue-pencil Code

Every year skits are submitted to a censoring committee,
and every year some class has to make major changes in
its script.

The present senior class has probably had more rewrites
than any other group.

This year the juniors bore the brunt of
criticism when their whole skit had to be
ash-canned.

Some of the criticism has probably been
deserved. Over the years "cynical,"
"ironic," "too much campus humor,"
"sacriligious," as well as "lewd," has re-
ceived the blue-pencil treatment.
It's too late now to debate the point of
whether the skits deserved their epithets.
But now is the time to establish a code.

It is unfair for classes to have to write skits to be sub-
mitted to a censoring committee when the standards, other
than general cleanliness, are undefined.

What is distasteful or unacceptable could be easily out-
lined.

Scenes and subjects which are considered bad form could
be listed.

This would certainly save time.

It would also save misunderstanding, resentment, and
pressured hours of writing-
in fact, a code might alleviate the need for censoring. E.T.

'Grab Your Gripes'

"Grab your gripes and come!" this phrase sparked a
record attendance and unusual participation at student gov-
ernment's first Open Forum last week.

The interest shown by the students, particularly the sopho-
mores, is encouraging and indicative of in-
creased concern in regard to student affairs.

We hope that the success of the first Open
Forum will be an incentive for more students
to come and voice their opinions.

The effectiveness of Open Forum was
demonstrated last year when a suggestion
was made for later time limits. The idea re-
sulted in 12:30 permission for freshmen and
sophomores and 1:00 permission for juniors
and seniors on Saturday night.

Students are also reminded that the Agnes Scott News and
the student government suggestion box are other means by
which student opinion may be voiced.

The use of the library terrace for study was made possible
after a letter to the editor published in the newspaper last
week-

We suggest another forum soon. NB.

Severe Threat of Communism
Adds Tension to '60 Campaign

By HARRIET SMITH

One of the more ticklish questions posed to the presidential
candidates in the debate Friday night concerned the present
status of Cuba and possible measures for redeeming the good
will of that erstwhile friendly neighbor.
Although the candidates differed

in their estimates of the problem

not strayed completely beyond
reach, and Kennedy arguing that
she IS LOST for the present but

Campus Beat

Forum Indicates Needs;
Sophs Suggest Smoker

By VIRGINIA PHILIP

Bourgeois opinion reigned during Open Forum Thursday
morning. It was gratifying to see the large attendance, the
percentage of participation in the discussion, and the genuine
concern and interest over the issues brought up.

Two proposals were made by

students. The first, a petition for

a second smoker on campus, was

presented by

Julia Prather.

The sophomores

petitioned for the

privilege to sign

out and be met

by dates in Wal-
ters and Hopkins

dorms.

In student
forum the main discussion cen-

tered around the availability of a
smoker. The original suggestion,
Walter's basement, is not feasible
because of the fire hazard.

Students also mentioned that

boys complain because they are

not allowed to smoke in date

parlors. We feel that this is a

point well taken.
Entertaining in the date parlors
is our closest approximation to
entertaining at home, and the
atmosphere of the date parlors is
far from homey, although the new
facilities in Rebekah are an appre-
ciated amelioration.

In view of the two requests, we
submit, as perhaps the most prac-
tical location ,the entire first

floor of Rebekah including room
for study, the rec room, and the
date parlors.

Every voice raised in student
forum was in favor of the sugges-
tion, and the hands raised signify-
ing a vote of confidence were
those of non-smokers as well as of
smokers.

Those petitioning for the privi-
lege of dorm sign-out for Wal-
ters and Hopkins pointed out
that such a practice would alle-
viate some of the heavy load in
the Dean's Office during early
evening rush hours.
Walters is well set up for such
a practice. We believe that a sys-
tem for signing out there could be
worked out, but we do feel that
it would be more appropriate for
a member of the dean's staff to
act as hostess when boys are
present.

Usually on Friday and Saturday
nights there are two or more
members of the staff in the D. O.
Our suggestion is that one of
these act as hostess in Walters
during the 7-9 rush hours, and
that boys be allowed to meet their
dates in the dorm only at this
time.

Soph Favors Bermuda Shorts,
Desires Freedom For Students

To the Editor:

The increasing attractiveness of
bermudas should influence the ad-
ministration to increase the places
where they may be worn.

Why Have Column?

To the Editor:

Why do we have to have a
column in our newspaper on "News
of the Week in Brief?" It is just
wasting space. The news is rather
stale by the time the paper is
out.

If anyone is really interested
in the news, they will certainly
read it in the Journal or the Con-
stitution.

Those who are not interested
enough to read the Journal or the
Constitution probably don't bother
to read your column.

I say "church" the column and
use it for something else.

Plea For Debaters

To the Editor:

In years past, Agnes Scott has
produced debating teams which
have been among the finest in the
Southeast. The last trophy won by
an Agnes Scott team in intercol-
legiate competition was in 1956.

The affirmative team of Mar-
garet Benton and Sallie Green-
field captured first place in the
West Georgia Tournament in
Carrollton, Georgia.

Since that time, an Agnes Scott
team has not entered any debate
tournament.

Participants have entered the
Alabama Discussion Tournament
which, as its name implies, is not
a debate contest.

This is the only unbroken link
with intercollegiate debate com-
petition.

Debating is an intellectual en-
deavor. There is nothing more re-
warding than the preparation and
presentation of a debate. In an
academic atmosphere, debating
provides an outlet for logical think-
ing, organization, and public speak-
ing.

It is unfortunate indeed that
Agnes Scott does not excel to the
fullest in this activity. The potent-
ial in the student body seems un-
interested, indifferent, or just
plain lazy.

To be sure, debating takes time.
Anything that is worthwhile and
challenging is time consuming. The
application of knowledge is valu-
able. The experience gained
through the application of educa-
tion will prove valuable to the
debater participation.

The membership of Pi Alpha Phi
is aware of the need for active
participation in debate. It is time
for Agnes Scott to regain its place
in college debating circles.

We invite all interested students
to contact any member of the or-
ganization.

Previous experience is helpful
but not necessary for membership.
Interest and willingness to work
are the principle qualities needed.

A neat bermuda outfit looks as
good and sometimes better than
many a week-day dress on a col-
lege girl.

They are accepted a6 party
dress at all colleges and class
attire in many colleges, notably
the exclusive women's colleges.
For example, Barnard College in
New York has recently bowed to
the right of the women students
to wear what they please as long
as it is in good taste.

We realize that throughout the
South there is a certain conserva-
tism about women's dress and do
not wish to break local custom.
However, ASC is sufficiently
secluded to permit more free-
dom "between the girls" than
is current in co-ed colleges.
For a beginning, the library at
night has very few visitors. Ber-
mudas and slacks would add to
the comfort of the students and
save wear and tear on dresses.
With the individual teacher per-
mitting, bermudas in lab would
save ruining nice dresses with
acid and allow comfort on the
high lab stools obviously designed
for blue-jeaned boys.

In spite of New England's con-
servatism and the slovenly dress
of Northern women's colleges at
all times, we should like to point
out the numbers of Southerners
flocking to their gates. It is time
for more freedom at Agnes Scott
also.

Sophomore

Day Student Needs

To the Editor:

The day students often do not
meet many boarders because they
do not eat meals here or stay
on campus at night when most
social activities take place.

If the administration would low-
er the price of the evening meal
and set a flat rate for a year's
lunches for them, it would encour-
age more social contact and make
it easier for them to eat here.

A room is needed for them to use
at night if they wish to stay. If the
dorms are full, perhaps the alum-
nae house might set aside a place.

The rooms in Buttrick are over-
crowded and noisy. Attractive cur-
tains would improve the rooms
tremendously, as well as would
additional chairs in the main room.

If the day students had more at-
tractive and modern furnishings,
the school would attract more of
the Atlanta area students who are
not impressed by the dark, make-
shift places now used.

About Sudden

Class attendance regulations
were a mote in the public eye
lasf week when several professors
began the unprecedented activity
of taking roll.

Some members of the faculty
who had not previously followed
this practice notified their classes
that attendance records were to be
filed with the Office of the Dean
of the Faculty.

Dean C. Benton Kline, inter-
viewed by The Agnes Scott News,
stated that the regulations had al-
ways provided that rolls must be
filed with the Dean of Students.

specific, he said.

Dean Kline also said that a
student's cuts would not be record-
ed with the grade record sent to
her parents.

He added that having them on
file in his office was simply an
aid to dealing with parents when
their daughter failed a course un-
expectedly.

In this case, he said, often a
pattern of excessive cutting exists.

He reassured those who were
concerned with possible restriction
of cuts by saying that he merely
reminded the faculty of an alread-
y existing regulation and that this
regulation was not a restriction of
voluntary attendance.

Nine Sister Teams Dot Campus;
Ties Provide Inside Information

By KAY ROBERTSON

A News survey finds that nine freshmen have family ties
on the campus.

Alice Frazer, '61, welcomed her
younger sister Carolyn to our
campus, and Panny Weltch has
joined Jane, '61, this year.

"Having a member of the fam-
ily at college is a definite ad-
vantage," claims senior Kacky
Chambers' sister Barbara.

Charlotte Connor agrees, say-
ing that "I had the inside in-
formation on registration and
courses, and Carroll also helped
me to select an appropriate
wardrobe."
"It is wonderful to have a rules
interpreter to refer to," exclaimed
Scottie Roberts of her sister Mar-
garet.

Judy Conner insists that having
Vivian, '62, with her keeps her
from getting homesick, while her
roommate, Sue McLeod, was
quoted as saying that "Mother
and Daddy thought it would be
good for Ann and me to be to-
gether, so they could come to see
us both at the same time."

After having made previous
visits to Atlanta when Lil, '60,
was here, Catherine Hart acknowl-
edged that a familiarity with the
surroundings has made her ad-
justment easier.

Runita Goode's, '59, sister, Jean
McCurdy, says that "I haven't
been lonely because I have never
really felt that I was away from
home."

New Library Policy
Needs Enthusiasm

Dottie Burns, in an informal in-
terview summarized the feelings of
the Executive Committee regard-
ing changes in the Library Policy.

A letter printed in The Agnes
Scott News last week indicated
that some students wanted the
library to be opened for studying
on Sunday afternoon.

Dottie said that if the student
body would enthusiastically sup-
port the suggestion, some changes
may be considered.

Six years ago the library was
opened for a few Sunday after-
noons. Students failed to use the
library then, and it was reclosed.

Last year students were given
an opportunity to state their opin-
ions in a campus poll conducted by
Lower House. Only about 250
students replied.

Kennedy Fans Ban Together To Make
Dawn Pilgrimage To International Shrine

By LUCY SCHOW

While most of the campus community lay in bed enjoying the last few delicious hours of
slumber, 22 avid Kennedy fans boarded a bus headed for the Kennedy rally at Warm
Springs, Georgia.

bandwagon spirit.

In the still early morning chill,
the crowd had already begun to
swarm over the grounds of the
international shrine made famous
by President Franklin D. Roose-
velt.

By 8 a.m. the throng had begun
to jockey for vantage points in
front of the "'Little White House."

FDR Shrine

Dominating the podium which
had been placed in front of the
house was a picture of FDR and
over the doorway was the Presi-
dential Naval flag.

A receiving line soon began to
form of girls in patriotic red,
white, and blue striped dresses and
Kennedy-Johnson hats.

Directly in front of the podium,
nurses and staff members of the
Warm Springs Foundation brought
in two paralyzed children on port-
able stretchers and twenty men,
women, and children in wheel-
chairs.

Mob Spirit

The Crowd visibly grew more
excited as eleventh-hour testing of
microphones and a high school
band struck up with the appro-
priate martial music.

Ivy was torn from the white-
columned shrine. Repeated admoni-
tions from a Warm Springs official
to "Get down from those trees and
stay down" went unheeded.

The pressing crowd became al-
most rabid with anticipation and

After one chorus of "Happy
Days are Here Again", a deafening
roar of recognition went up from
the rear of the crowd as weary
pilgrims craned their necks for a
glimpse of John F. Kennedy.

Aided by a swarm of secret
service men and the state patrol,
the smiling, deeply-tanned candi-
date shook hands on every side
and laboriously made his way
through the frenzied mob of well-
wishers.

After the preliminary welcome
from various Warm Springs of-
ficials, Governor Vandiver intro-
duced the dignitaries including
Senator Smathers of Florida,
Alabama's Governor Patterson and
five former governors of Georgia.

Talmadge Ovation

The perennial favorite, Senator
Talmadge, received an ovation to
rival that of Kennedy.

After what seemed to be inter-
minable references to "this hallow-
ed shrine," Kennedy made his way
to the microphones.

The democratic standard bearer
paused dramatically as the infec-
tious chant, "We want Kennedy,"

Old Age Benefits

Above the noise of reporters'
typewriters and the cries of penn-
ant and button venders came the
clear, voice of the nominee. His
speech centered around the vital
campaign issue of old age benefits
and social security provisions.

Apropos to the setting, Kennedy
stated that the same problems
that faced the nation in the forties
under Roosevelt are facing the U.
S. in 1960, and that the same
people who opposed the New Deal
(an obvious reference to Repub-
licans) are fighting progress in our
times.

"Just as Franklin Delano Roose-
velt saw the needs of the "for-
gotten man" so we must recognize
the needs of our over 18 million
citizens over 65 who live out their
lives without help."

Alumna Receives Scholastic Recognition;
l)SC Press Publishes Independent Study

By NANCY SIBLEY

A graduate of Agnes Scott has attained the distinction of
having her Independent Study paper published. Florrie
Fleming Corley (Mrs. J. W. Corley, Jr.) '54, is the author of
Confederate City: The Story of Augusta, 1860-1865, soon to
be published by the University of South Carolina Press :
which will appear in November.

Mrs: Corley explained that her

book is an outgrowth of her In-
dependent Study paper, "A His-
tory of Augusta from 1840 to
1865", which she wrote under the
guidance of former professor of
history, Margaret DesChamps.

Her thesis for her Master's de-
gree which she received from Em-
ory in '55, "Augusta During the
Confederacy, 1860 - 1865," also
contributed.

"The papers have been consider-
ably revised and reworked," she
said, "and my book will be illus-
trated. I imagine it will look like
the American Heritage magazine."

"One thing I am really pleased
about," said Mrs. Corley, "is that

Barry Fleming, cousin of Mrs.

note," first suggested that
she have her research material
published and assisted her in
finding a publisher.

Mrs. Corley said, "I was sending
my thesis back to the Augusta

we held here in Marietta when
Barry accidentally read it.

"He told me he couldn't put it

National Problem

Kennedy called illness, a "nation-
al problem," that required vigorous
national action that would provide
"protection for all."

Kennedy made three major
points:

(1) that Americans over 65
should be enabled to participate in
the development of a trust fund
for medical aid without having to
take a Pauper's Oath as is the
present practice;

Loans and Scholarships

(2) that more provisions should
be made to increase the number
of doctors and nurses in the form
of low-interest loans and scholar-
ships for those who want to study
medicine;

(3) that stimulus should be given
to long-term research as has been
done in the case of the polio
foundation, i.e., private foundations
with federal stimulation.

Mr. Kennedy closed his remarks
by touching on another vital issue:
American status in world affairs.

World Affairs

He stated that, in his opinion,
the United States had ceased to be
a source of inspiration and energy
to the world.

"We have a 'rendezvous with
destiny' ... I want Mr. Khrushchev
to know that a new generation of
Americans has assumed the leader-
ship of this country that will not
settle for second best."

Countdown

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Dear Aggie,

Our social life has been some-
what curtailed now that quizzes
have started, but most of us can
manage to squeeze in a date once
in a while.

And of course there are always
some fortunate enough to emerge
victorious.

Chuck McGuffin traveled all the
way from Gainesville, Florida, to
give Jane Gilbertson his Delta Tau
Delta pin.

Another Tech senior fell by the
wayside this past week end as
Harvey Clarke gave his Sigma Nu
pin to Willie Byrd Childress.

The sophomores are rising
above the traditional slump and
have two more honorees. Ann
Saylor is now proudly wearing the
pin of Horace Surles, a Phi Sig at
Tech.

Grover Birdsong started the
year off right by presenting Sandy
Creech with a Kappa Alpha pin.
Grover is also a senior at Tech.

Pat Ervin, '61, surprised us all
by her marriage to John Barner
last week.

A Tech alumnus and Phi Delta
Theta, John is now doing graduate
work at Vanderbilt. The couple
has returned to Nashville, where
Pat will resume her studies.

Seniors Select Pepperdene
To Deliver Investiture Talk

The class of '61 has begun
preparations for Investiture serv-
ice which will be held Saturday,
November 5.

Last week, the class elected
Mrs. Margaret Pepperdene In-
vestiture speaker.

Mrs. Pepperdene says, "I am
deeply pleased that the senior
class asked me to speak to them
at Investiture.

"I know that Investiture is an
occasion of special importance to
each member of the class, and I
feel privileged to be able to share
this experience with them."

Mickie North is Investiture
Chairman, and Anne Peagler is
in charge of Little Girls' Day.

Working with Anne on the Little
Girls' Day skit for the Friday, No-
vember 4 chapel are Esther Thom-
as, Missy Moore, and Martha
Lambeth.

They are writing a skit that
will include every member of the
Senior Class.

The sophomores will serve as
ushers for the Investiture serv-
ice.

Final events of Investiture week
end taking place on Sunday will
be a campus church service and
an after-lunch coffee in the library
for seniors, parents, and faculty.

The independent college belongs to those who be-
lieve in it. It can have no other ownership.

It has flourished through the centuries because
every generation raises up people who understand its
power for good.

Rooted in this faith, steadfast, humane, the inde-
pendent college abides as a citadel of the unfettered
mind and spirit.

The sky is clear, the weather is cool, and the grass has been
cut. The past few days have been tailor-made for hockey.
Each day the field has been populated by vigorous hockey

Each student is
a sponsor of her

The teams will
give quite a

the competition
will be stiff and the excitement of
the game will reward any effort

Nancy Stone, known on the field

Betsy Dalton is another of the
seniors who shows no signs of

Making their debut this Friday
at the game will be such players
as Dottie Burns, Rose Kittrell,
Becky Bruce, Anne Broad and Tay

Some of those who don't play
hockey have thought this amusing.
In my opinion, the whole campus

who will have the last laugh!

Gheesling, L Jones
Lead Policy Probes

Sarah Helen High, President -of
the Student Goverment, is in the
process of forming two investiga-
tion committees. She explained
that "they will be six man com-
mittees, representative of the
campus."

Lelia Jones, Chairman of the
committee concerned with the pos-
sibility of an area to smoke and
study at the same time, has said
that the student body cannot ex-
pect progress overnight.

"The committee will welcome
any suggestions for any phase of
the smoking investigation. The
committee meetings will not be
open until more definite plans are
made, but a progress report will
probably be made at, the Student
Forum meetings".

Nancy Gheesling is chairman of
the committee concerned with the
possibilities of Walters and Hop-
kins Dormitories as being future
sites for signing out and meeting
dates.

Both committees will work joint-
ly with the Executive Committee
and the administration and plan to
investigate every possible phase of
smoking and signing out. Both
school policies will be thoroughly
aired.

Class of '62 Cops
Black Cat Honors

By LUCY SCHOW

Harvey's class of 1964 was tested in the fire of Black Cat
festivities this past Saturday and found to be a very spirited,
clever and talented group. After sharing a first-place tri-
umph with their sister class in the Sweepstakes, the freshmen
"bunny-hopped" into the Gym to present their Spirit song
and class talent.

Although they did not win, they
had reason to cheer as the class
of 1962 made the day into a
double-victory by winning the
song contest.

"Cats in Cardland" showed
some old familiar characters of
past Black Cat Skits, the Miller
and family, and yet departed
from the beaten path of campus
humor for a change.
As this is a national election
year, the skits appropriately re-
flected the political views of most
of their participants.

The Kennedy stickers displayed
in the Sophomore skit, the char-
acterizations of Mammon (wear-
ing a Republican campaign hat)
and Pride (wearing a Democratic
campaign hat) in the senior skit,
and a Nixon button shining from
a strategic position on the toga of
the Juniors' Brutus were notable.
This year's winning Black Cat
song used an original tune com-
posed mainly by Jo Allison
Smith and Hardeman Cottage
with words written by the Junior
Song Committee headed by Jo
Allison Smith and Lyn Horne.
She wears madras skirts and ten-
nis shoes,
She hears Robert Frost and Bru-

beck blues,
She dates Slide-Rule Sam or an

Ivy man,
She writes "Dear John" letters

all over the land.
Though she does have fun galore,
Agnes Scott means so much more:
Free to live in truth and honor
Loving, learning, laughing,
Letting herself be aware that
Without books and tests and

papers due,
Without faculty and chapel too,
She can't be the girl who has
| The best B A. degree.

Yogi Bear and Caric Martin
seem engrossed in a discussion
about the outcome of Black Cat.
Caric, four-year-old son of Mr.
Charles Martin of the economics
department, is the senior class
mascot, while Yogi (Lyn Horne)
romped at the head of the junior
class. Beaming with delight,
Caric later informed his par-
ents, H| saw Yogi Bear!"

Tech-Scott Chaplain
Will Speak Tuesday

The Reverend Jim Coleman, new
college chaplain at All Saints
Episcopal Church, will speak in
C. A. chapel on Tuesday, October
25.

Known to Scotties as "a cross
between Abe Lincoln and Cary
Grant," Mr. Coleman is a familiar
figure on campus at Wednesday
morning communion services and
Friday student appointments.

Mr. Coleman's talk, which is be
ing sponsored by Christian Associa-
tion, will be on a topic of his own
choosing.

Epps, Hodges, Rate Top Dek-it Honors;

Bouquets To Byers!

Three cheers for all the people involved in changing the
Library Policy! The Administration deserves thanks for
recognizing The needed changes and giving a stamp of ap-
proval.

Also Mrs. Byers and her staff merit praise
for their willingness to add to their work
load and give up part of their one day of
rest.

The enthusiasm of the student body (as
evidenced by the roaring applause in Con-
vocation) was the impetus in obtaining the
extra library opening.

As with all new privileges, new respon-
sibilities are added. The strong support of
the student body must be continued if the policy change is
to be successful.

The extra expenses, time, and labor will be wasted if stu-
dents don't use the library.

This doesn't mean a handful of diligent scholars but a
large majority of the students.

Besides giving students a quiet place in which to study
on Sunday afternoon, this policy change will open new
vistas on the social horizon.

For example, it may soon be quite the vogue to invite the
Slide-Rule Kids, tho Emory Ivies, or the Angel-Factory Boys
to "come out on Sunday afternoon and study in the library."

Stuff of Great Spirit

Spirit is at an all-time high, and thanks must go to Tricia
Walker and Ann Hutchinson, along with their Black Cat
committee, for pitching the campus on its high note.

The Junior song, unprecedented Senior pep, Sophomore

focus to the "vision of greatness."

Black Cat promises a year of vigor, thought, responsive-
ness and loyalty . . . the stuff of great spirit-

Success of Forum Ideas
Requires Sensible Plans

By VIRGINIA PHILIP

Positive steps were taken in open forum Thursday toward
the resolution of issues introduced to the student body a
week earlier. Although attendance was poor at the second
forum in comparison with that at the first, enthusiasm was
high.

Motions were carried that a
committee be appointed to inves-
tigate each proposal a second
smoker and dorm sign out from
all angles.

These committees will make the
investigations more organized as
well as official.

The students making the re-
auests did not seem to realize
that our need for these inno-
vations is not enough for us to
be granted them.
In presenting petitions we must
offer a practicable method for
carrying thorn out. The commit-
tor's are expected to hash over the
problems until there are no loop-
holes.

This is a difficult task and we
are assured that they will wel-
come suggestions from any stu-
dent.

We seemed to find it hard to
stay on the subject in our dis-
cussion Thursday. The initial
proposal was that we try to
work out a way to appeal for a

study smoker.

By the end of the hour, com-
plaints and suggestions concern-
ing smoking after Hub hours,
smoking in cars with dates, in
faculty offices, in date parlors, and
in Presser between acts of plays
had been thrown in.

While it would have been in
better order for us to concentrate
on the subject at hand, we feel
that such heterogeneous com-
plaints indicate a need for re-
vamping our smoking policy in
general.

Students having suggestions
ether than those brought out in
open forum or who can suggest
methods for carrying out these
ideas are invited to speak to
the committee.

If we, the students, can work
out a sensible plan including as
many of these suggestions as seem
practicable, we do not believe we
will be refused.

But if we simply say "We want
this," we will gain nothing.

Danger in Smoking?

To the Editor:

I was distressed to see in the
October 5th issue of The News an
article indicating that smoking is
increasing on our campus.

If you have space in the paper I
should like to bring the following
facts to the attention of the col-
lege community.

For a number of years now,
there has been increasing evi-
dence of a high correlation be-
tween cigarette smoking and
deaths from lung cancer.

In March, 1958, the American
Cancer Society made a statement
to the press, based on the now-
famous Hammond-Horn study,
warning the public of the possible
dangers of cigarette smoking.

Since that time similar state-
ments have been made by other
responsible authorities.

Cigarette smoking, particular-
ly among doctors, has fallen off
considerably.

However, the advertising, on a
"caveat emptor" basis, continues,
and it may be that many young
people are unaware of the inherent
danger in the habitual smoking of
cigarettes.

For such people let me cite the
results of the Hammond-Horne
study, carried out on 187,783 men
and reported in the journal of the
American Medical Association of
March 15, 1958.

An abbreviation of one of their
tables is as follows:

Age standardized death rates
due to well-established cases of
Bronchogenic carcinoma (Exclu-
sive of Adenocarcinoma)

Death Rate

Never smoked 3.4
Smoked less than one

pack a day 57.6
Smoked one pack or

more a day 157.1
I imagine anyone thinking of
smoking would want to consider
these facts before developing the
habit.

Sincerely yours,
Josephine Bridgman

Plea for Telephones

To the Editor:

There has been mounting agita-
tion on the campus for some time
concerning our inadequate tele-
phone facilities. "No available out-
side lines" has become a cliche.

With as tight a schedule as most
students keep, one can't afford to
waste time sitting by the phone or
by making numerous trips back
and forth.

Frustration really sets in,
though, when you learn that the
boy you have been dying to date
looked elsewhere when he was un-
able to get his call through to you.

And the poor switch-board oper-
ators are on the verge of a nervous
breakdown after a rush hour.

With all of the renovations in
other areas on the campus, isn't
there something that could be done
to improve our telephone sytem
and alleviate this perpetual conges-
tion?

European Student Life Shows
Freedom of Liberal Education

By HARRIET TALMADGE

The sidewalk cafe outside the Hotel Maison Rouge in
Strasbourg, the patio of the Hofbrauhaus in Munich, the
streets of Florence ,and the heather-covered hills of the
Scottish island of Iona all made different and interesting
backgrounds for our various "engagements" with European
students.

good time.

On the island of Iona we met
a group of seminarians known
as the Sheffield Seven.

These men were spending the
last week of their final year in
seminary in the work-study at-
mosphere of the Community of
Iona, which since the sixth cen-
tury has been a center of Chris-
tianity in Scotland.

We ourselves were students
seeking to learn more about our-
selves and our relation to the
Church and its work.

Through our contacts with
students abroad we realized that
they view all of life as an edu-
cation, and they believe that
to be educated is to be com-
pletely engaged in what one is
studying.

Their education is truly liberal
in that it has released them from
their own particular moment into
the totality of their heritage.

This is the" freedom that Euro-
pean students seek and find.

We met Jacob, a Hungarian
youth who spoke class room
French, in Strasbourg. Jacob is
pro-democracy and at present is
studying engineering at the Uni-
versity of Strasbourg.

Jacob studies year round and
at the same time holds down a job
to cover his expenses at school.
He hopes some day to visit his
sister in Canada.

Karl-Albrecht, our guide in
Munich, with about a dozen
other students, worked for a

mer months.

Karl-Albrecht is working on his

wants to teach after he finishes
the work for his degree.

At a student night called The

Internationally Speaking

Moscow-Peking Clash
Merits World Concern

By HARRIET SMITH

A consistent aim of the Soviet Union has been the seating
of Communist China in the United Nations. This year that
goal was nearly reached as 34 nations voted for the admis-
sion of Red China, with only 42 votes against the resolution
and 22 abstentions.

Usually this vote has been in-
terpreted as a tactical victory for
the Soviets, yet H
some observers,
probing an in-
teresting aspect
of the issue, won-
der how sincere
Khrushchev's en-
dorsement of Red
China really is.

In recent
years, relations between Russia
and her protegee have noticeably
cooled.

Apparently unawed by the
Soviet regime, Chinese Communist
leaders feel secure enough in their
power to badger Moscow with re-
quests for nuclear weapons,
rockets, and more economic as-
sistance, and to haggle when these
requests are not satisfied.

A significant ideological battle
divides the two Communist nations
as well.

Red China, blatantly aggressive,
preaches a belief in "inevitable
war" while Russia stubbornly
clings to the doctrine of "peace-
ful co-existence."

Among the manifestations of
this disagreement are the expul-
sion or withdrawal of roughly
half the Soviet technicians from
Communist China and the failure
of the expected Chinese delegation
to appear at the August confer-
ence of Orientalists in Moscow.

Rumors even indicate that Mos-
cow has warned Red China of a
break if the Peking government
persists in its present "dogmatic"
policies.

If the rift between Moscow
and Peking continues, future years
may bring a rearrangement of the

whole power pattern of the world,
with the Chinese Communists
emerging as a third and danger-
ously aggressive power.

Cooke's Quips Amuse
Responsive Audience

A "renegade in Great Britain
and a British spy in America"
packed Presser Thursday night
and held his audience to nearly
two hours of sheer responsive-
ness.

Alistair Cooke, chief American
correspondent for the Manchester
Guardian, turned phrase after
phrase to spice his commentary on
"two countries divided by the same
language."

Fresh from the third Great
Debate, Mr. Cooke apologized for
not being equipped with a "Max
Factor image," then noted that it
is "an act of genius to avoid look-
ing like an incipient corpse on
T.V."

Mr. Nixon, he said, was "made
up to look like the No. 1 contender
for Mr. District Attorney".

Kennedy avoided make up be-
cause on T. V. he showed signs of
age he actually didn't have, Mr.
Cooke added.

Speaking of his reporting diffi-
culties, Mr. Cooke said that Amer-
ica's greatest failing was its mis-
conception that "every nation on
earth wants to be like America/'

He advised those interested in
the news field to "be your own
man."

His "marvelously responsive
audience" hung on to every wry
word of the lecture and the dis-
cussion following.

President Batson Announces C. A. Theme;
Treasurer Medearis Offers New Budget

By FRANCES ANDERSON

In last Tuesday's chapel the theme and budget of Chris-
tian Association for the '60-'61 session was presented by
Nancy Batson, C. A. president,

The success of C. A.'s program
depends upon the reception of its
budget and theme by the student
body.

Christian Association's theme
was kept relatively secret until
last Tuesday.

"The phrase (C. A.'s theme) is
incomplete," Nancy Batson ex-
plained.

"It is a challenge to a growth
in faith. It is an affirmation that
we can have a personal relation-
ship with Christ.

"Our theme this year is 'Christ
in you . . "

Jean Medearis then introduced
tho budget by saying: "We can
do three things to show our love
and concern.

"We can pray, we can reach out
to those in the community and
offer ourselves in service to
others; and we can offer our
money, which can be a meaning-
ful and Christian act."

She further explained that C. A.,
as an independent organization, is
not subsidized by the student
body.

C. A. tries in its budget to
reach as many areas as possible.
The budget is outlined in four
parts.

The total budget is $2,230. The
money is split up in this way: Our
World $895, Our County $620, Our
Community $125 and Our Campus
$590.

Those who did not have an
opportunity to pledge in support of
C .A. may do so by contacting a

S. A. L to Compile
Campus Song Book

Tired Black Cats were able to
enjoy a leisurely breakfast in bed
when Sigma Alpha Iota catered to
the three freshman dormitories last
Sunday morning.

This project was one of several
to finance their plans for the en-
suing year.

The music fraternity hopes to
assemble into a campus song book
all of the favorite school songs and
accompaniments, including three-
part harmony.

Also on the agenda are tentative
plans for sponsoring receptions
after student and faculty recitals.

S. A. I. honors only six members
at present but plans to invite new
members in the immediate future.

Dear Aggie:

Several of the day students
have become pinned and engaged
recently, and we wouldn't want to
keep this a secret from the
"campus dwellers":

Nancy Butcher now sports the
ATO pin of Louis Wade who is a
student at Vanderbilt University.

Beverly Kenton has just re-
ceived a beautiful solitaire from
Rausey Mason, a recent Tech
graduate who is presently in the
school of Theology at Emory.

Sue Stacy is now the proud
wearer of the KA pin belonging
to Bobby Jefferson, who is the
president of the KA chapter at
Emory.

Anna Maria Aviles is pinned to
Emory ATO Don Goolsby who is
a freshman at Emory Medical
School where he is a member of
Phi Chi. Congratulations, day stu-
dents!

Things are not at a standstill on

Frazer To Relate Differences
in Edinburgh School System

By JUDY LITTLE

Friday, October 21, Alice Frazer will talk in chapel about
her year abroad at the University of Edinburgh- She plans
to give an account cf the differences in educational systems
and student life in general.

Alice left Mobile, Alabama, her
iiome town, at the end of August
last year. From there she went to
New York, where she boarded the
Queen Mary on September 1.
Alice says that one of the

things that "tickled her most"

last year was getting to go to

the Queen's Royal Garden Party

at Holyrood Palace. She also

sat behind the Queen at the

Royal Highland Show.
The Royal Highland Show is an
annual event in Edinburgh. Alice
says that it is like "an elegant
country fair." There are livestock
shows, bands and pipers.

A big event at all the universi-
ties in Edinburgh is the annual
Charity Drive. Alice was one of
the nine girls from the University
of Edinburgh chosen to model in
a fashion show for the drive.
They were given lessons by a

model from London and were

featured in the Edinburgh news-
papers.

While she was in Paris, Alice
saw a public appearance of
Khrushchev and DeGaulle. She
mingled with the people and
listened to their comments. She
found most of them "pro-Com-
munist."

A.A. Board Offers
New Point System

Athletic Association has pro-
posed a new Point System.

The feeling is that the present
system is not only confusing but
also difficult to record accurately.

Anne Broad, President of AA,
supports the system by saying, "We
believe the change will encourage
more participation in extra-cur-
ricular athletics.

"Especially do we want to en-
courage sports hours for the Athle-
tic key and disc awards.

"Besides, you feel like you're get-
ting something done with this
proposed new system."

The following Point System is
intended to go into effect with the
present Freshman Class, pending
the approval of the Student Body:
Key 240 pts., Disc 120 pts. above

1-1 Ties Initiate Hockey Season;
Wassink, lee, Snead Stand Out

By LELIA JONES

Amid the shouts of sister teams and the waving of blue and
white shakers, the sound of iai referee's whistle officially
opened this year's hockey season.

The tense crowd anxiously
waited to see which teams would
be victorious. But there was no
victor each game ended in a
1-1 dead-lock.

Immediately evident in the
junior vs. senior game was an
outstanding newcomer to the
junior team Marijke Klein Was-
sink. In addition to scoring the
one goal for her team, she seemed
to be in just tre right place at
the right time.

Up against the brick-wall de-
fense built particularly by Peggy
Mitchell, the seniors were held to
only one goal also, this being made
soon after the juniors scored.

The more surprising game of the
day was that of the sophomores
versus the freshmen. Unusually
experienced for a new class, the

fiosh held the sophs to a 1-1 tie.

Throughout the first half the
freshman forward line dominated
the field. They were capably as-
sisted by a defense sparked by
Molly Snead, fullback, who just
won't let a ball get past her.
Backing up Betty Schenck's
goal, the sophomores managed
to hold a 1-0 lead during the
first half.

Eleanor (Monkey) Lee,, the epi-
tome of speed, got through to
score the tying goal in the open-
ing minutes of the second half.

Next week I predict that the
juniors and seniors should win
over their respective opponents.
This does not mean the games will
not be exciting, however. There
just may be some upsets.

ASC Art Students
Respond to Letters

As a result of letters being sent
to the 175 art students on campus,
an Art Students' League may be
formed at ASC.

The purpose of an Art Students'
League would be three-fold. First,
it would give art students an
opportunity to meet each other in
a casual atmosphere.

Secondly, an organized art
league would give art students the
chance to meet with art enthusi-
asts from other colleges, especially
from the Atlanta area.

The third important function of
an art students' organization
would be raising money to help
support the campus Arts Festival.

Meeting Tuesday evening, the
art students discussed plans for
the coming of Mrs. Marguerite
Wilden Haine, world-famous pot-
ter, in November.

DR. A. L. ROWSE

Students Hear Dr. Rowse
On Elizabethans, America

By MILDRED LOVE

Dr. A. L. Rowse, professor of history at All Souls College,
Oxford, arrived on Monday for a three-day visit- Several
years ago he spoke here as a University Center lecturer.

Dr. Rowse is also the author of
a history of the Churchill family.
These two volumes, "The Early
Churchills," and "The Later
Church ills," include a biography
of Winston Churchill, who per-
sonally assisted with the book.

An authority on the Elizabethan
Age, Dr. Rowse spoke last night
on 'The Elizabethans and Ameri-
ca." His topic Monday afternoon
was "British Foreign Problems."
His final address was this morn-
ing in convocation.

During his visit Dr. Rowse has
spoken to English History and
English Literature classes. For
the latter he chose the subject of
Shakespeare's Henry IV.

Dr. Rowse is above all a
Cornishman. He considers the
Cornish folk as being midway
between the British and Ameri-
cans. Actually the Cornish peo-
ple played an active role in
building America.
Dr. Rowse was elected a Fellow
of All Souls, the blue ribbon of
an Oxford career, at the age of 21.

He has devoted himself mainly
to historical research and writing.

His best known books on the
Elizabethan period include l The
England of Elizabeth," " Tudor
Cornwall," and "Sir Richard Gren-
ville of the Revenge."

His 1958 Trevelyan lectures
at Cambridge University be-
came his recent book "The
Elizabethans and America/'

In the field of literature, Dr.
Rowse is also an outstanding
scholar. He has written his auto-
biography, "A Cornish Childhood,"
and several volumes of essays. The
latest of his four volumes of
poetry is "Poems Partly Ameri-
can."

He is one of the few English
1 poets who have written about
the American landscape.

Dr. Rowse divides his time
a nong Oxford, Cornwall and
America. He can be found at Ox-
ford during term, while he va-
cations in Com wall. Every other
year or so he visits America.

Nixon Bests Kennedy
With Election Returns

The campus campaign and the
mock election held on Friday, Oct-
ober 28, showed a concern for
issues rather than personalities re-
marked Tricia Walker, Mortar
Board president. Tricia said that
she was highly pleased with the
campaign and election which were
Mortar Board sponsored activities.

A week of rallies, debates, and
hat waving came to a climax as
campus voters made their choices
at the "polls" on the quadrangle
lawn Friday afternoon. A jubilant
Mrs. Pepperdene announced the
results of the election with a not-
so- jubilant Mr. Hayes at the Hub
that evening.

The elephant lovers landed a
victory: 310-201. Of the 511 votes
cast, only 157 of them will be cast
at the National election in Novem-
ber. Eightly-one of these supported
Nixon and Lodge, and 76 were for
Kennedy and Johnson.

A mock election held on the
Emory campus last week proved a
slight victory of the Democrats.
Approximately 800 votes were
caset; Kennedy led by 37.

Week To Stress
''Cornice" Theme

By NANCY SHERIFF

"Cornice" or "Cornerstone" is the theme for Honor Empha-
sis Week this year, Chairman Kay Gwaltney announced.
Lasting November 8-10, the general idea surrounding this
theme will be whether or not the honor system is really
a living part of Agnes Scott.

Monday at 10:15 a.m. hall dis-
cussions will be held giving each
student an opportunity to express
her feelings in a small group.
Nina Marable will give her
interpretation of the Honor
Code in Chapel, Tuesday, the
eighth. At five o'clock that eve-
ning Dr. Wallace M. Alston will

be available in the end date
parlor of Main for an open dis-
cussion.

The Pledge Ceremony will take
place in Wednesday's Convocation
with Dr. Alston and Sarah Helen

Kemp, Fiance Rank 'Top Ten
Among Dance Skating Teams

By JANE KELLEY

Junior India Kemp and her fiance are among the top ten
amateur dance skating teams in the United States and Cana-
da. They have also placed second in the Southern regional
competition for three years. The first team in this region
also ranks first in the nation this year.

India's younger sister and her
fiance came in third in the region
this year. Both India and she met
their future husbands through the
amateur group in Atlanta which
sponsors the competitions.

India said that she began
skating in the eighth and ninth
grades because she liked it so
much. She started taking lessons
and passed through the three
levels of competition, Novice, In-
termediate, Senior Dance.

Several ranks of skaters are
asked to the Invitational meets
sponsored by local clubs
throughout the year. India and
Jimmy have won several of
these.

Jimmy Miller. India's fiance, has
been skating in meets for nine
years and India for six. They have
skated together for four years.

India and Jimmy practice an
hour and a half each day and six
hours each on Friday, Saturday
and Sunday.

Junior India Kemp and her fi-
ance prepare for a skating dance
competition which ranked them
in the Top Ten of U. S. competi-
tion.

Tinder- Box Times

The sit-in movements in the last two weeks in Atlanta,
and the imprisonment of Dr. Martin Luther King have been
moving to the whole campus.

Some of us are moved sympathetically, others quite the
opposite.

The least impassioned faces are on the
sit-iners themselves and their pickets. We
saw them walking around Rich's in a crisp
wind. Not even a friendly smile from an
observer drew a response-

Whether we agree with the aims of these
students and their leaders, we must admire
passivity. Their lack of emotionalism,
which was exhibited when a college-age
boy harassed them with aerosol sprays, is
admirable.

In these times, tinder-box times, we may call them, we
will do well to emulate the non-violence in the Negro stu-
dents.

We are emotional about this it is our common denomi-
nator in varied thinking on civil rights. But we also have a
responsibility to try to see the situation always in terms
of cool reason.

Our sanity is something we can share with our parents,
with school children, and with each other. We owe it to our
future to play this part in keeping mobbism out of Southern
streets. E.f.

Checks and Balances

What do we see more of every day than anything else?
Books. By clearing off the cards we see books in the Hub,
books paving the entrance to the Dining Hall, books under
someone's arm as she walks across the campus.
And pertaining to books we have the
bookstores (first and second-hand), the
library, individual bookshelves and the
omnipresent bookworms.

Books are a common denominator among
all of us faculty and student body. For
by our coming here, we have evidenced an
interest in books and learning.
Trite, but true, is the phrase, "You came

to college to learn." Yet the argument that

goes something like "You can't learn everything from a
book" is appealingly true as we accept that date the
opportunity to get away for awhile.

Both statements form the basis for the well-rounded,
liberally educated young woman. They should not exist in-
dependently of each other but should co-exist to establish
a system of checks and balances.

Aristotle has said that in the evolution of reason as fur-
ther arts were discovered, the discoverers of those which
supplied the leisure moments of life were considered wiser
than the discoverers of the arts supplying the necessities of
life. Theirs was the sort of knowledge that did not aim at
utility.

The McKinney Book Award was originated with this truism
as its focal point; to provide the encouragement to actively
seek in leisure time knowledge that does not aim at class-
room utility.

This is not to say that the books submitted to the com-
mittee may not supplement the textbooks of your courses
and give you more insight into your particular field of study.

Yet, the main purpose is to stimulate the buying and read-
ing of the books you've always wanted to read (whether
Lolita or the Cambridge Medieval History) and/or the culmi-
native reading of the books that are already collecting dust
on your bookshelves.

The McKinney Book Award and its committee represent a
dedicated effort to formulate the habit within each of us to
investigate some problem that excites our curiosity for the
sole purpose of enlightenment. L.S.

We seem to forget that our
dates are not delivering us to the
doors of our own homes. The
walks around the dorms are al-
most as public as the streets of
the city.

Perhaps it is not generally un-
derstood that the five-minute rule
applies even if we sign in hours
before late time limit.

A boy, unless he is signed in
as a campus date, is expected
to leave campus within five
minutes after he brings his date
in, no matter when late time
limit may be.
Surely, though, it has often
enough been called to the atten-
tion of freshmen and sophomores
that they are not to allow their
dates to remain after their own
time limits when juniors and
seniors have one o'clock permis-
sion.

Yet this regulation is also loose-
ly complied with.

Let's have a little more con-
cern for others' opinions of us,
a little more consideration for
others, and a little more respect
for the rules cited above.
We remarked the other day
upon how well the dress policy
has been abided by this year when
it was called to our attention that

This practice is not compliable
with the present dress policy.

We suggest that students check

tionable areas.

"The Solid South" Feels
Stone Walls Crumbling

By HARRIET SMITH

"The Solid South" for almost a century this phrase has
been associated with the Southern states just as naturally
as corn pone and molasses, cotton fields and southern hos-
pitality.

Numerous reasons are cited for
the new political temper of the
South. Observers point to the
growth of industry and the migra-
tion of people from other parts of
the country as important factors
in the growth of Republican and
business sentiment.

The religious issue and the ques-
tion of civil rights undoubtedly
play a role in this election, and
many Southerners are coming to
feel that the Democrats no longer
represent their interests.

The growth of a two-party
system in the South is a healthy
sign. It reflects a change in the
economy as well as a growing
awareness of issues among the
people.

Moreover ,it can provide effec-
tive organizations for those of
either political sentiment, and it
is forcing both parties to regard
the South in a new light. She is
beginning to be recognized as an
area to be courted, not neglected.

So strong has been the Demo-
cratic affiliation of the South that
both major par-
ties have tended
to neglect her in
elect ion cam-
paigns, the
Democrats be-
cause they were
sure of victory,
the Republicans
because they
were sure of defeat.

"The Solid South" shows defi-
nite signs of crumbling, however;
and if predictions about the No-
vember election prove to be cor-
rect, the phrase will eventually
be discarded as out-of-date termi-
nology.

This year, only two Sou them
states seem committed to either
candidate, Georgia for Kennedy
and Florida for Nixon. None of
the other states show a decisive
majority for either party, and in
several areas the candidates are

Letters to the Editor

Hub Chairman Protests Lack
Of Co-operation in Clearance

To the Editor:

It is common knowledge that the
Hub is closed during Chapel.

It may or may not be common
knowledge that the decision to
close the Hub was not made by a
select few; rather, it was the
decision of the student body.

It seems, therefore, that it is
the responsibility of the students
to leave the Hub at 10:25 and that
one girl should not have to ap-
proach each girl and remind her
that the Hub is closing.

Anyone who has had the job of
clearing the Hub is aware of the
attitude that seems to descend on
most Hub-goers shortly before
10:30 a.m. attitudes ranging from
total unawareness that the Hub is
to be cleared to a hostility border
ing on contempt.

The lack of student co-operation
became so pronounced during the
spring of '59 that it was not suf-
ficient merely to close the Hub.

It became necessary to lock it
There are many arguments in
favor of closing the Hub during
chapel; there are just as many
arguments against it.

However, as long as the student
body has voted in favor of the
current policy, it seems that the
decision should be upheld and
respected by all.

Sincerely,

Janice Henry, Chairman
Hub Committee

Walker Responds

To the Editor:

Agreed, a code to guide Scotties
in skit writing might alleviate the
need for censorship. However, such
a code could never be written.

It must, on the other hand, be
ingrained in each one of us.

It is a pretty sad commentary on
us that we should need any such
list of unacceptable spelled out to
us, for we should care enough
about the impression we create
through our skits to write ones
we can all be proud of

A written code could be nothing
but a general outline which would
include the identical items which
appeared in your editorial
"cynical," "ironic," too much
campus humor," "sacreligious" and
"lewd."

What good would this do if it
were written down?

These things are outlined verbal-
ly each year in a meeting of the
skit chairmen; and besides, there
would always be a loophole if we
looked hard enough.

It seems also that when writing
skits we include lines we expect
to have cut. If these were left out
altogether much unpleasantness
would be saved.

You mentioned a censoring com-
mittee, and at this point I would
correct you. We have an Entertain-
ment Committee composed of four
faculty and staff members who are
there to serve us in an advisory
capacity.

Their job is not to censor, and
this falls their lot only whenever
the students exhitbit poor judg-
ment in what we choose to pre-
sent.

I believe that you will be inter-
ested to know that it was Ann
Hutch and I who "censored" the
skits for Black Cat.

The Entertainment Committee
read them and questioned a few
lines, but we are ultimately re-
sponsible for what was cut.

Things would function more
efficiently and pleasantly if we
had a code which works from with-
in, in the form of good judge-
ment.

Why not try it next time and
see?

Tricia Walker

Editor's note: We apologize for
using campus vernacular to de-
scribe tlie Entertainment Com-
mittee, and agree with TiHcia that
skit writing should be part of
campus honor.

Our point was that often pub-
licly defined external standards
help clarify the internal.

Smoking Committee
Circulates Survey

Survey slips have been circulated
to every student at Agnes Scott
to get the campus consensus on the
Smoking Policy.

Since the smokers' opinion has
been publicly advertised recently,
this survey is mainly to give the
non-smokers an opportunity to
state their opinions on the matter.

Lelia Jones, Chairman, has said
that "the entire smoking policy
has been investigated. In essence it
says there will be no smoking ex-
cept in the Hub.

"Unfortunately, the Committee
has no connection with the Hub
Policy.

"All the suggestions (regarding
smoking in date parlors, cars, at
Blackfriars and in faculty of-
fices) have been studied and the
Committee is always open to any
new ones."

However, there will be no open
meetings because the Committee
feels they will be less hampered.
Students will have ample oppor-
tunity to speak in Thursday's Stu-
dent Forum.

Univ. of Gca. Graduate Students
Present 16 Art Works in Buttrick

An art exhibition consisting of paintings by four Univer-
sity of Georgia graduate students is being presented by the
Agnes Scott College Art Department November 1-15 in But-
trick Gallery, which will be open to the public from 2-5 p.m.
daily.

"A very vigorous exhibition . . .
showing a great deal of experi-
mentation, vigor, and courage"
are the words used by Professor
Ferdinand Warren to describe the
16 works in oil, casein and mixed
media.

The four artists, who are tour
ing various colleges with their
paintings, are Miss Beverly Ann
Bach, Miss Marjorie Nell Shem-
well, Budd Harris Bishop, and
Henry L. Whiddon, all of whom
received the M.F.A. degree from
the University of Georgia.

Beverly Bach, originally from
Montgomery, Ala., received the
B.A. degree in art, philosophy and
"religion from Birmingham South-
ern College. She was listed in
"Who's Who in American Colleges
and Universities."

Marjorie Shemwell, presently at
East Tennessee State College, re-
ceived the B.S. degree in art from
Murray State College in Ken-
tucky. She has also studied at
Western State College and Ohio
Slate University.
. Budd Bishop, a native Georgian,
was awarded the B.A. degree from
Shorter College. He has had one-
man shows at Shorter, Mercer
University and at the University
of Georgia.

The fourth artist, Henry Whid-
don, graduated from Atlanta Art
Institute with "The Most Out-
standing Student" award.

In addition to other awards,
Whiddon received honorable men-
tion from the Mexican- American
Institute Exhibition in Mexico
City in 1957. He has been a de-

Foreign Students Serve
As Tiny United Nations

By PAT HOLMES

Indian sari, Japanese obi, Moslem turban and the brilliant
robes of African tribesman and of Buddhist monk; the faces
and costumes of dozens of different nationalities lent an
U. N. atmosphere to Harvard Yard this summer session.

Getting to know some of these
foreign students proved to be the
most memorable

in the United

of my Harvard
experiences. I
found their opin-
ions on world
affairs especially
eye-opening.

My foreign
friends do not
consider Russia
the great threat
freedom that we
States do.

The Canadians seem satisfied to
let us do the work and worry
about any potential Russian dan-
ger.

National Problems

The Indians think more about
Eastern aid for their country than
possible Eastern control.

European students, too. are
chiefly concerned with the wel-
fare of their own countries; some
appeared most afraid of West
German economic domination
than of Russian military aggres-
sion.

Although she had little fear that
Russia would ever be able' to sub-
due the world, my roommate, a
native Russian now living in Can-
ada, did concede that communism
had no danger of losing popular
appeal in Russia itself.

Communism

Noting the improved condition
of the average Russian today as
compared to tsarist times, she
pointed out the difficulty of ex-
plaining Western ideals to the
Russians.

The terms we use have entirely
different connotations; freedom,
for example, means anarchy to
the Russian.

One heartening discovery I
made was the genuine enthusiasm
for the European Economic Com-
munity and its political future.

Economic Community

An Italian, whose country of
course would receive the greatest
benefit, was the most ardent sup-
porter of this cooperative pro-
gram.

Quizzing this politically am-
bitious young man, I asked him
if he planned to be Premier of
Italy. "No." he replied, "Premier
of Europe!"

As I listened to these students
earnestly and intelligently discuss
the hopes arid problems of their
respective countries, I wondered if
this great educational institution,
and others like it. were not truly
a more real and effective U. N.
assembly than that official body
in New York.

Joan Byrd, during her interview, expresses her feeling of creativity
by pointing out the duality of "warmth and fear of life" as shown
in Paula Wilson's drawing of father and child.

Arts Festival To Intensify Experience,
Bellune, Byrd Maintain In Interviews

By BETH CRAWFORD

Betty Bellune, student chairman of this year's Arts Festival, was asked why the arts are
important to her. An enthusiasm for drama in particular, which is, in her words, "the most
complete means of expression, involving movement, transcending smallness, getting to the
heart of life to what human beings are made of" and her belief that "the arts can add a
depth to anyone's experience" are the answer.

"Creativity is facing yourself. It's
lonely not like watching T.V. or
playing cards."

Is it really worth the effort?
"Through the creative arts
one sees things one so often
forgets to look at."
In studying the character of
adolescent Frankie in "Member
of the Wedding," Betty felt the
"refreshing outlook of this
thirteen-year-old."

"Frankie's painful need to be-
long to the unity that she sees
in her brother and his bride
(Frankie called them vthe 'WE of
me') could be strongly sensed."
The studying of character
that an actress undertakes is
fundamental to her life.
The actress may watch garden-
ers, waiters, or fellow students.

"I've seen a freshman," Betty
recalls, "who is completely her-
self so confident she bustles
into a room rather than walking."
Freshmen are particularly
interesting to this senior because
she sees herself as she once was
and Betty believes "acting is
finding agreement with others."

Joan Byrd, editor of the Aurora
and an art major, was asked why
she believed certain people were
roused to an intense love of the
arts while others showed only a
passing curiosity.

She believes that this centers on
what a person regards as funda-
mental, on "his feeling for life."

"Different professors have
made me feel that teaching is
creative in that it can awaken
a sense for the arts.

"I was brought up thinking that
a painting had to look like what it
was supposed to.

Here at college I have learned
that art has understanding in it
it's what life is."

In her room Joan has a draw-
ing by Paula Wilson. "This has
all the warmth and fear of life
shown through father and his
child."

The duality in this painting
Joan feels to be an essence of all
the arts.

"A lot of art is extremely
clever, but arrogant and cold.
When art is true and feeling is
put before craft, there seems to
me to be a common understanding
among artists.

"True art has the combination
of both happiness and sadness,
aloneness and being together.''

Preston Will Accept Entries
For Book Award Competion

By SUE MUSTOE

Since 1931 Agnes Scott students have been inspired each
year to begin their own personal libraries under the auspices
of the Louise McKinney Book Award program

Originated as a memorial to Miss
-.ouise McKinney, professor emerit-
us of English, the award of fifty
dollars is given to the student who
acquires the "most interesting and
discriminating personal library and
who reveals real understanding of
her books."

Lively at 92

During her teaching years at
Agnes Scott Miss McKinney
awakened in her students a love
of reading and a keen appreciation
of the value of book ownership. At
92, she is still an avid reader and
has a lively interest in the world
around her.

Miss Janef N. Preston, chairman
of the book award committee,
makes periodic visits to Miss Mc-
Kinney's home.

During one of their latest visits
Miss McKinney illustrated her
probing interest in life when she
bid Miss Preston to "bring me
some new ideas" the next time she
came.

The collection must consist of
at least 15 books acquired from
May to May of the current year.

Dear Aggie,

We have several additions to
our list of honorees since my last
letter, for it seems like more and
more Scotties are falling in love
and are dropping out of circula-
tion.

Two students from the Univer-
sity of the South visited Scott the

their fraternity pins behind.

Glenda Antonie is now proudly
wearing the Sigma Alpha Epsilon
pin of David Long.

Tommy Aldinger, a senior at
Sewanee, presented Rooche Field
with an Alpha Tau Omega pin.

Martha McKinnon also got into
the swing of things and is pinned
to Bill Lindsay, who is a Pi Kap-
pa Alpha at Georgia Tech.

Linda Ingram returned from the
University of Alabama with a Chi
Phi pin given to her by Charles
Adams, a senior there.

Wedding bells are ringing for
Donna Brock, a senior, who is en-
gaged to Bob Oliver. Having at-
tended Emory University, where
he was a member of the Sigma
Nu fraternity, Bob is now working
in Canton. Georgia.

Joan Fearon is pinned to Bobby

Lost and Found, Bookstore
Provide Campus Services

By FRANCES ANDERSON

Do you have a stack of textbooks
you want to sell? Do you want to
buy your books for Winter Quarter
second hand? Or. have you lost
your umbrella and do not know
where to look for it?

You can solve your problems at
the Second-Hand Book Store or
the Lost and Found.

In case you have not yet dis-
covered the Second-Hand Book
Store, it is located in the base-
ment of Buttrick.

To sell that pile of books, you
have to put two 3x5 cards in each
book. On each card you must
write your name, your school ad-
dress, your home address, the name
of the book and the price.
Announcements

Next, you are to look for an-
nouncements from Lower House,
which runs the store. These will
be posted on the door of the
store soon.

When the day and hours are an-
nounced, you may take your stack
of books and perhaps buy a few
second-hand for Winter Quarter.

Only if you have remembered
the 3x5 cards can Lower House
pay you later in Winter Quarter.

Now that you have solved your
book problems, what about the
more immediate problem of a lost
umbrella or whatever it may
be?

In case you may have lost your
way in finding the Lost and Found,
here are some directions: you walk
in the front door of the Hub and
turn right, go up the steps, through
the door on your right and you
are there.

Perhaps you, like so many of us,
have found the way only to dis-
cover that the Lost and Found is
closed.

The sophomores, who run it as a
money-making project, would like

added that the policy of charging
for the plays is new this year;
however it should have far-reach-

plays.

Play Costs

"The cheapest play to produce
would be $600. Anything better
must cost more.

"About half of the audiences are
students; the other half are people
from Atlanta who pay to see the
plays.

"Students often throw away free
tickets not realizing the value of
the plays offered here on campus."
Selfsupporting

Above is a typical scene in the late afternoon as the classes' hockey
teams work out forward line maneuvers, penalty shots and roll-
ins for Friday's important games.

Big Hockey Games Loom Friday
As Classes Struggle for Crown

By INA JONES

For the past two games, the hockey teams have put skill,
endurance and sportsmanship to its roughest test. The sec-
ond game, following up a double-header tie, put the Seniors
out front while the Freshmen and Juniors were left holding
hands-

The Sophomores in their battle
with the Seniors played their best
game so far.

The Seniors reigned as vic-
tors. Their forward line, patched
up from last year with several
new players, stalked through the
Sophomore defense and into the
Sophomore goal twice during
the second half.

One of the
most exciting
plays I have ever
seen was the
horizontal duel
between Betsy
Dal ton and Soph-
omore goalie,
Annabell Free-
man.

The second game between the
Juniors and Freshmen was al-
most as exciting.

The Juniors couldn't over-
power the Freshman team, who.
although this was only their sec-
ond game, showed some of the
best teamwork seen So far in the
season.

Kline, Steel, Clark
Attain Ph.d. Status

Three members of the Agnes
Scott faculty will receive their
doctorates within the 1960-1961
college year.

Dean C. Benton Kline will re-
ceive his Ph.d. from Yale Univer-
sity in June: the subject of his
thesis is "Theism and Naturalism."

Two members of the French
department will also receive their
doctorates.

Miss Chloe Steel will receive
her degree from the University of
Chicago on the subject of Balzac
and Proust.

Miss Frances Clark will receive
her doctorate from Yale University.
Her subject is Blaise Pascal.

In the double feature Friday,
the Seniors kept their tradition
and the Juniors redeemed them-
selves. In both games, the Big
Sisters defeated the Sophomores
and Freshmen.

The rough and ready Juniors
found the Sophomores unable
to hold Marijke Klein-Wassink,
Lucy Schow and Peggy Mitchell.
Carey Bowen, Junior goalie, saw
little action, while Annabelle Free-
man was kept busy. The Juniors
worked well together so well
that the final score rated them
4-0 against the Sophomores.
Stokie Cummings of the
Freshman defense put up an
especially good fight, and, as
one Junior put it, "Was always
everywhere/'

In the Senior-Freshman game,
the Hockey Legend, Betsy Dalton,
came through again.

How can anyone be so quick
as to catch a high-hit ball, drop
it to the ground and drive it to
the right across the field?
The Seniors, in my opinion, have
the best team.

Their skill is apparent; Small
Hall in the backfield. Paula Wil-
son, Anne Broad, Tay Lipscomb,
Trish Walker. Kay Gwaltney and
all the others compose such an
effective blockade that no one so
far has broken through; and, I
tlon't believe any will.

Friday is the big game when
both teams of the two games shall
be fighting for honors.

The Seniors and the Juniors
vie for temporary champion-
ship; the Sophomores and
Freshmen have another chance
to break the previous tie.

Since each team is playing
more on its own level, I believe
this shall be the most exciting
game of the season.

What will Betsy Dalton do next?
What beautiful plays will Kathe-
ryn Mobley make?

Can Marijke Klein-Wassink
keeps ahead of her markers as she
did last week? Will Molly Snead
rule the defense? Who will be the
victors? Why don't you come
Friday and find out?

Honor Pledge Ceremony
Climaxes Emphasis Week

Following an intensive three-day examination of Agnes
Scott's honor system, members of the freshman class par-
ticipated in the traditional pledge ceremony this morning
in convocation.

The ceremony highlights Honor
Emphasis Week, which will ex-
tend through tomorrow.

Although the freshmen come to
Agnes Scott in the fall with the
understanding that there is an
honor system here, the actual
pledge ceremony is held later in the
quarter.

Thus they are able to have the
experience of living under this
system and gaining a personal
knowledge of its function before
making their final endorsement,
supplementing that pledge which
they made with their application.

Hub Panel

Honor Emphasis Week continues
tonight with panel discussions to
be held in the Hub at 9:30 p.m.

Members of the panel will in-
clude Miss Kathryn Glick of the
faculty; Polly Craig, a transfer
student; and Dottie Burns, repre-
senting boarding students.

The panel will be followed by
open discussion.

rating given at the tournament.

She was one of four students
out of 56 who achieved this high
recognition and the first Agnes
Scott girl to place at a tourna-
ment in several years.

Doris Sanders and Harriet
Glover, along with Dr. George
P. Hayes, were also at the con-
ference which was held at the
University of Alabama.
The tournament was a prelimi-
nary conference at which time the
debating group's question for the
year was considered and discussed.

It served to familiarize the de-
baters with the question. "Re-

should adopt a program of com-

Discussion was broken up into

Apathy No Problem

The thought struck us this week that perhaps we have
been wasting vital energy on a semi-existent problem. Our
impassioned attacks on apathy seem a little paradoxical in
the off-campus perspective.

We didn't know how aware the campus is
until we compared notes with editors at
Tech, Emory and the University of Georgia.

Agnes Scott is so sparkling with concern
that our mock election participation not only
looked astronomical on a percentage basis,
but also looked good numerically.

We heard our fellow institutions char-
acterized by "analytical minds," "conserva-
tive stronghold, " "don't really care."

"Critical mind" able to compile data, to classify fact, to
then make judgments and commitments Agnes Scott's
characteristic became our refuge and our goal.

The campus cannot afford to be complacent, but we can turn
our vitality to greater areas of concern. We must with hu-
mility recognize the vestiges of apathy, but we must in grati-
tude for our ideals raise our aspirations as we chalk indiffer-
ence off the board of problems this year. E.T.

Hidden Books
Cause Moans

By VIRGINIA PHILIP

The complaints which reached our ears most frequently
this week concerned the abuse of the reserved book system
in the library.

The library staff and Exec have
recently issued a new policy
governing late re-
turn of reserved
books. But this
new ruling hits
only those who
are at least hon-
est enough to
sign the books
out.

And there are
others.

We have seen books with reserve
cards still in them in places other
than the library during the day.
(This is not to suggest that you
remove the card if you steal the
book. )

Hide and Seek

Then there is the girl who tells
herself that as long as she doesn't
remove the book from the reserve
room it isn't her fault if no one
else can find it.

Who would think to look for
Chaucer and His England on the

Honor Cornice of Life

From the very first minute a freshman sets foot on campus,
she hears the word "honor" repeated again and again. Honor
will be stressed, discussed and argued during her next four
years at Agnes Scott. *

Yet what will the word ultimately mean
to her? She will vainly grope for a satisfying
definition. The idea of honor is not a new one
to which she has just been exposed. Neither
is it an idea which she will discard as soon as
she receives her graduation diploma. Never-
theless, the ideal seems remote and unreal.

As the weeks pass, however, she will dis-
cover that each individual develops her own
concept of honor within the framework of
the community ideal.

Conflicts

Many times she may disagree with the honor system, think-
ing it too idealistic and perfect with no allowance made for
human weaknesses.

She will perhaps feel the strain of conflicting loyalties and
the pressure of the group.

But she will also see the advantage of the honor system
in the freedom it offers. Its responsibilities will demand a
great deal from her at all times during her college career.

Cornerstono

"The cornerstone of the entire structure of Agnes Scott
life is the honor system." The honor system will also be the
cornerstone of future lives.

i

Honor Emphasis Week provides an opportunity for re-
examining and re-evaluating the honor system in Hub dis-
cussions and chapel programs. It also gives each student a
chance to evaluate her own concept of honor. C.S.J.

Internationally Speaking

France Faces New Problems;
Dispute Over Algeria Flares

By HARRIET SMITH

For seven years the Algerian nationalist rebellion has
plagued the French nation like a festering and incurable
sore, and in recent weeks the sore has flared up anew as
General Charles de Gaulle faces a crisis over the very issue
which brought him to power.

Deeply divided over the Algeri
an bid for autonomy, France faced
another crisis
two years ago as
civil war threat-
ened to break
out.

There were
those who found
Algerian inde-
pendence prefer-
able to an ex-
hausting war, and the group which
demanded maintenance of French
sovereignty in Algeria no matter
what.

De Gaulle's Rise

In that hour of crisis De
Gaulle, pledging to end the Al-
gerian war, inspired the faith of
his countrymen and emerged as
a strong and uniting force in the
midst of chaos.

His two years in office have
brought no solution to the Al-
gerian problem nor cessation of
hostilities, however, and mount-
ing popular discontent has turned
demonstrations into riots and pro-
duced votes of censure in the
French parliament.

Under severe pressure to ne-
gotiate a settlement, de Gaulle has
hinted at forthcoming autonomy
for Algeria in his recent addresses
Lo the nation.

Compromise

To achieve that autonomy ho
must find a plan amenable to the
Moslem rebels as well as the bit-
terly divided French people.

Failure to deal decisively with

doom of other ill-fated French
governments.

The fate of two nations hangs in
the balance.

Biology 202 shelf?

This honest, conscientious stu-
dent might as well take the book
home with her. She'd be just as
honest and probably have less
chance of getting caught in the act
(if she removed the card).
Day-ln and Day-Out

The boarder who has friends
among the day students has a de-
cided advantage, for she can have
her math major friends check out
a pile of psych books as early as
4:30 in the afternoon.

She's really lucky unless, of
course, she happens to have a
conscience.

We know that Agnes Scott stu-
dents are supposedly of high intel-
lectual capability, but we are none-
theless occasionally astounded at
manifestations of this beyond our
wildest imagination.

Sixth Sense

These are girls, for example, who
can, by some secret faculty, absorb
knowledge from a number of books
at one time.

One girl can do this with books
simply by having them piled up in
front of her, or under her.

The reserve system is designed
to make required reading equally
available to all members of the
class.

System and Honor

While the system is not com-
pletely satisfactory and is often
inconvenient, it is grossly unfair
for one student to feel she is
more privileged than others, to
take matters into her own hands,
and to deprive her classmates of
availability of the material.

She is cheating, in essence, be-
cause she is giving herself unfair
advantage.

Fox Offers Terror Flick;
Critic Pans 'Beat' Film

By ELLEN MIDDLEBROOKS

Movies this week run the gamut from the old in a re-
showing of "Ruby Gentry" at Loews to the new in
"Midnight Lace" and "The Subterraneans."

Doris Day's ability is shown at

its peak in this film of sustained
terror.

She succeeds in communicating
the mounting fear of an American
heiress, bride of a British financier
(Rex Harrison) who receives a
series of telephone calls threaten-
ing her life.

Attend SDC Dinner

Three Agnes Scott students have
been invited to attend the dinner
meeting of Sigma Delta Chi, na-
tional professional journalism fra-
ternity, on Thursday, November 10,
at the Dinkier Plaza Hotel.

The delegates are: Joan Byrd,
editor of Aurora, Page Smith, ed-
itor of the Silhouette, and Esther
Thomas, editor of The Agnes Scott
News.

The speakers this year will be
Celestine Sibley, Constitution col-
umist, who will give some insight
the problem will undoubtedly I into her colorful career, and Claude
bring a further waning of de Sitton, of The New York Times;
Gaulle's influence, and could con- who will speak on the profession of
ceivably force his regime into the journalism.

Fox Thriller

Lacking witnesses, the police be-
lieve she is in-
venting the
drama to get
more attention
from her busy
husband.

The film is cur-
rently showing at
the Fox.
The story of
tne beat generation in "The Sub-
terraneans" which stars Leslie
Caron and George Peppard,
is undoubtedly one of the worst
films released this year.

Bury It!

The whole movie is just too
beat to be realistic.

What could have been a pene-
trating story collapses in a film
showing only the total emptiness
and aimlessness of the lives of the
"beatniks".

On a more cultural level we find

torium November 14, and the stir-
ring performance of the Cold-
stream Guards on November 21.

Letters to the Editor

Late Students Create Racket;
Lee Cheers Student Agencies

To the Editor:

The constant tardiness of a
large portion of the student body
to Chapel has become a matter
of great concern to us.

The problem this year seems
worse than it ever has been. We
realize that there are times when
tardiness to chapel (especially
Wednesday Convocation) cannot
be avoided.

What about the other times?

The lateness itself is not really
the embarrassing part.

The problem comes when the
latecomers run down the aisle to
their seats while a distinguished
speaker is in the process of de-
livering his speech.

Why can the latecomer not sit
in the balcony? You can always
tell the roll checker that you are
there.

The inattentiveness of those
who are in chapel is another
serious problem.

Another few rows of knitting
or few minutes of test cramming
will do you little good. This looks
bad and is in very poor taste.

Chapel manners are signs of
our maturity. If this is the case,
some Scotties have a lot of grow-
ing up to do.

Honor Week

(Continued from Page 1)

of the system and its meaning in
life after college.

A day students' luncheon and
honor discussion will conclude the
week tomorrow at 12:30 p.m. in
Walters Recreation Room.

Bonnie Lockhart is in charge of
arrangements for the luncheon
Margie Erickson of the dean's staff
is assisting.

To the Editor:

Often you hear people say that
they feel removed from the organi-
zations on campus such as Exec
and Lower House. Some say that
since they do not hold offices
their opinions are valueless and
are worthless contributions.

However, I believe that one of
the primary attributes of Agnes
Scott is its "openness."

I have discovered through visit-
ing Exec last week that outsiders
are welcome and that they may
state opinions if they have the
desire.

The Exec members have been
elected by the students, and they
do a good job of carrying out
their responsibility.

On the other hand, they seem
to realize that they can't be rep-
resentative of all.

Therefore, they are willing to
consider the different opinions of
non-Exec members.

For this reason there is no
excuse for students to criticize
these organizations behind their
backs.

If they disapprove of something,
they should take their complaints
to the organizations concerned.

Through visiting Exec, attend-
ing Lower House and talking to
members of other organizations,
I have realized that each student
is important, office-holder or not.

Campus organizations need the
support, ideas and cooperation of
the student body if they are to
carry out their proper function
that of making Agnes Scott a
better place to live.

Frazer Names Honor System
Common Core of Student Life

By ALICE FRAZER

One of the first questions asked someone upon their re-
turn from another country or school is, "Well, how do they
differ from us," or "What's the difference between Agnes
Scott and the European Universities?"

Yet it was only upon returning

to Scott and once again becoming
a part of the student body that I
was able to begin to understand
that vague, previously unverbalized
feeling of a basic difference.

True, there are great technical
differences between a large cos-
mopolitan university and a com-
paratively small girls' college.

However, this does not com-
pletely explain the lack of unity
felt in such a large student body
which contrasts so strongly with
the feeling of oneness which we
share here on our campus.

The answer may lie in the
fact that there is no centraliz-
ing force in such a large uni-
versity to unite members of
different "faculties" or schools
who have widely diverse studies,
interests and friends.
Yet this same diversity of in-

Aspirants To Bohemia
Want Beatnik Campus

By BETH CRAWFORD

Several Scotties have expressed
the desire to have a real Agnes
Scott Beatnik swinging around the
campus in time for the Fine Arts
Festival.

Those who aspire to Bohemia
seem to feel uncertain as to Scott's
ability to fulfill this aspiration.

Last year several members of

the faculty almost made this scene
"the" scene, but freshmen have
their doubts as to whether the
"sheltering arms" would welcome
the patter of little barefooted
poetry readers in the hub or dark
glasses and T-shirts in chapel.

Nature Beat

One freshmen volunteer said
she'd like to be a nature beat and
write poetry on horseback.

"I'd go swimming on Christmas
clay and date a beat boy only he'd
be a southern beat."

"I'd give my real opinion in Eng-
lish. On second thought I think
I'd quit school."

Party Beat

One junior would rather be a
party beat. "I'd dance like they do
in the Mississippi Delta and be
perfectly frank with my dates. I'd
go ahead and say, "Don, you're an
absolute nothing.

"It's time you realized it and
disappeared."

The party beat has since decid-
ed she'd best become a thinking
beat in order to be with us squares
come the Arts Festival.

Beat Priorities

An enlightened senior maintains
that "you can enjoy beat priorities
without having a dead-pan expres-
sion or retreating to some dank
cellar to moan and wail.

"I've never heard of a beat think-
ing a leaf was worthwhile any-
way."

There thus appears to -be a lot
of unfathomed beat potential even
in the unexistentialist atmosphere
of an Agnes Scott dorm.

If it does not find a satisfactory
outlet in Suppressed Desires Day
a new springtime phenomenon may
appear.

With a bottle of platinum hair
tint, a pair of dirty feet, a little
imagination and a lot of laziness,
it could be you.

will be the topic of debate during

'Skin of OurTeeth' Necessitates
Hard Work, Ingerious Handling

Blackfriars and Drama-Tech are
now in their fifth week of rehears-
al for Thornton Wilder's Pulitzer
Prize play, "The Skin of Our
Teeth."

Miss Santacroce, the director,
says that "The Skin of Our Teeth"
is written in an unusual manner
and does not follow normal plot
lines.

It requires a number of effects
that must be handled ingeniously.
These effects call for hard work
and creative effort.

All this combines to make the
play an unique theatrical experi-
ence, for it can be taken as pure
fun and comedy or as a serious

comment on man's progress
through the ages.

The play will be presented at
the Theater Atlanta on November
11 and 12 and at Agnes Scott on
November 18.

Smoking Poll Reveals
Majority For Smoker

By NANCY SHERIFF

The results for the Study-Smok-
er are in and will be presented to
the administration this week.
Though the official percentage has
not been figured, there is an over-
whelming majority for the Smoker
plan.

Lelia Jones said, "Objections
have been stated mostly about the
noise there would be, the idea that
a Junior Hub would be established
and that non-smokers would
eventually run out of the dormi-
tories.

''However, Quiet Hours would
be in effect and any violations
would be sent before Executive
Committee."

The campus gave spirited re-
plies to the questions from both
points of view.

A sophomore found the answer
with: "The solution to the prob-
lem is for people to stop smoking.
It wastes money, shows the per-
son is nervous and it stinks her
up."

One freshman wrote: "Please
don't have a study smoker.
When visitors are on campus
they would possibly see it and
the Hub and think that all
Scott girls smoke."
Another girl was so enthusiastic
that she even pledged her reply.

A sophomore added, "I haven't
had a date, hut my friends say
there is a need" (to allow boys to
smoke in the date-parlors.)

Last Tuesday the Executive
Committee met in a special
legislative session to hear re-
ports from the Smoking and
Sign-Out committees.
The meeting, temporarily ad-
journed for the lecture, will be
completed this week.

Alumna Medical Missionary To Address
A. S. C. Student Body In Chapel Tuesday

By KAY ROBERTSON

Mrs. Paul S. Crane, an American housewife and medical
missionary who has found her life caught up on the "front
lines" in Korea, will speak in chapel Tuesday morning, No-
vember 15.

Mrs. Crane's missionary work is
of special interest to the campus
since the largest portion of Chris-
tian Association's budget goes to
this project.

Mrs. Crane wrote that "my hos-
pital work here is yours, and I
want it to seem more real to
you."

Lab Technician

Trained as a laboratory technic-
ian. Mrs. Crane went to Korea in
1947 with her husband, a young
surgeon, as a missionary of the
Presbyterian Church, U.S.

There she worked with her hus-
band in opening a hospital in post-
World War II Korea, where in
the aftermath of war, disease, mal-
nutrition and exposure were taking
a heavy toll.

Schools

In an area of three million, with
little available medical or surgical
help, the young missionaries re-
opened a mission hospital.

Their work came to a sudden

halt as Communist tanks approach-
ed in June. 1950.

Mrs. Crane was forced to evacu-
ate, with most of the church's
missionaries, but her husband and
another missionary doctor chose
to remain behind at the hospital in
the provincial capital of Chunju.
Communist Threat

When Communist tanks reached
the edge of the city, they were
warned by Korean friends that
they were certain to be killed if
captured, and they left hurriedly.

By October of 1950, however,
they were able to return, and they
kept the hospital in operation
through the tense years of guer-
rilla warfare until the armistice
was signed in 1953.

For Mrs. Crane and her two
small children, this was a time of
difficult and long separations as
her husband carried on medical
work in the dangers of wartime
Korea.

Today, the hospital the Cranes
le-opened 12 years ago is recog-
nized as one of Korea's leading
hospitals, and graduates of its
doctors', nurses' and laboratory
icchnicians' training programs are
filling essential roles in a nation
where modern medical care is new.

Little Girls Day Preceeds Investiture
As Seniors See Last Childhood Fling

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Last Friday Agnes Scott College might well have been mistaken for Agnes Scott Kinder-
garten judging by the preponderance of ''little girls" on the campus. It has long been the
custom for the Seniors to celebrate their last childhood fling by the observance of Little
Girls Day as a part of Investiture Weekend.

Saturday was time to don black
robes and caps of dignity and
leave forever behind the irrespon-
sibilities of youth.

Friday morning found the
Seniors attired in every imagin-
able kind of childhood garb from
sneakers and T-shirts to pinafores
and bonnets.

Armed with sling shots, spit
balls and all day suckers, they
descended upon their professors
with all the fervor of first
graders.

In Mrs. Pepperdene's 9:30 class
the little girls were engaged in
playing "Farmer in the Dell" and
left Mrs. Pepperdene herself
standing alone as the "cheese."

When she courageously attempt-
ed to calm them down with the
Canterbury Tales she was ,beseiged
by flying objects and water guns
and overwhelmed by the strains
of a well-concealed music box!
These youthful seniors con-
tinued their antics in Friday's
chapel where they recounted
scenes from past college years
using Eloise as the theme.
Such past glories re-enacted
were the winning of the Black Cat
song contest in 1959, the Scholar-
ship trophy in 1959 and the "privi-
lege" to single date as freshmen.

By Friday afternoon most of the
enthusiasm had worn itself out,
and the "little girls" were ready
to leave the gay abandonment of
youth behind and enter into the
woild of adulthood.

Agnes Scott Faculty
Forms Study Group

This year Agnes Scott faculty
members are meeting at Dean
Kline's home for a series of in-
formal study groups.

The first of these meetings was
held on October 21. "Two Cultures
and the Science Revolution" by C.
P. Snow was the subject of discus-
sion that night.

Faculty members have an oppor-
tunity at these meetings to discuss

riculum.

F tannery O'Connor Will Lead
Discussion Group at Festival

One of the events of the Fine Arts Festival will be a panel
discussion featuring Flannery O'Connor, young novelist and
short story writer from Georgia.

Miss O'Connor's work reflects
stern moral judgment and deep
religious faith. She mirrors the re-
gion in which she was born and
reared.

"My people could come from
anywhere," she told Harvey Breit
in an interview (New York Times
Book Review) , "but naturally since
I know the South they speak with
a Southern accent."

The young author received
her education in Milledgeville,
Georgia, where she still lives on
a farm.

She attended Peabody High
School and received her B. A. de-
gree from Georgia State College
for Women in 1945, with a major
xn social sciences.

From G.S.C.W., Miss O'Connor
went to the .University of Iowa
in Iowa City where for the next
two years she studied creative
writing under Paul Engle, earning
her M.F.A. in 1947.

Her stories have appeared in
such magazine as Accent, Parti-
san Revieiu, Kenyon Review, Se-
wanee Review, Harper's Bazaar

DICKSON'S

Across From the
Decatur Theater

and Mademoiselle.
Her first novel,
appeared in 1952.

Ten of her short stories were
collected a few years later in "A
Good Man is Hard to Find and
Other Stories."

Included in this volume was "A
Circle in the Fire," which won
second prize in 1955 in the annual
O. Henry Awards.

In 1957 another short story,
"Greenleaf," received the same
honor. ,

Miss O'Connor was a Kenyon
Review fellow in 1954-55. In 1957
she was awarded a grant from the
National Academy of Arts and
Letters.

Currently, she is working on her
second novel.

Seniors Lead In Hockey Race;
Jones Praizes Stone, Freeman

By LELIA JONES

Undoubtedly the most exciting hockey game to date pitted
the Juniors against the Seniors last Friday. The crowd, be-
tween bites of candied apples, cheered wildly as the ball
scooted back and forth down the field.

In the first half neither team
could manage a goal. Lucy Schow's
bid, one of many
by both sides,
was squelched
by the yellow
and white block.

Nancy Stone
managed to way-
lay an almost
certain goal by
Marijke Klein- ^
Wassink.

The tide changed in the sec-
ond half as the Seniors came
through with terrific team-
work.

Sparked by Betsy Dalton who
made each goal, the Seniors twice
brought the ball from deep in
Junior territory to make the
score 2-0.

The aroused Juniors, determined
not to be left out in the cold, re-
taliated largely through the efforts
of Caroline Askew and Marijke.
They broke down the Stone
wall to make the score 2-1.
On that high note the game
ended the Seniors still on top.

A little less coordinated but still
full of tense enthusiasm was the
Soph-Frosh game. Repetitious of
their first game, the score at the
outcome was 0-0.

This deadlock was indicative
of the whole game, although the
Freshmen made the strongest
bids to score.
Outstanding in this game was
Sophomore goalie Annabelle Free-
man. Confronted twice with at
least five Freshmen, she managed
to kick the ball out of bounds.

How anyone down on her knees
face to face with hockey sticks
chopping at a ball somewhere in
a mass of feet can accomplish this
is beyond my comprehension.
The Sophs held off the fine
playing of Julie Norton, Jeannie
Whitaker and Sylvia Thorne
with players such as Ann Har-
desty, Ann Debele, Nancy Rose
and Ina Jones.

In each game the players who
always seem to shine continued
their brilliant tactics.

Council Launches
Self-Study Plans

Representative Council at a meeting Wednesday approved
the formation of two student activities linked to the Self-
Study program the college is undertaking for affirmation of
accreditation by the Southern Association.

The first item approved, subject

to the vote of the student body at
its meeting tomorrow, was the
formation of a student Curriculum
Committee.

Dean C. Benton Kline explained
that the projected function of the
committee will be to submit annual
written reports to the faculty Cur-
riculum Committee, which has the
authority to change the curricu-
lum.

Curriculum Committee

The report would include evalua-
tion of present course offerings,
course contents and course levels.
It would also propose additional
areas of study.

It was suggested that the cur-
rent committee consist of five
seniors, three juniors and one or
two sophomores.

The second item approved was a
student Self-Study Committee.

Self-Study

This group would direct self-
study of each campus organiza-
tion, student evaluation of the

college's success and student atti-
tudes toward areas of college life
ad infinitum.

It would function from Winter
Quarter of this year until the fall
of 1962, when the committee from
the Southern Association makes its
visitation.

Representative Council appointed
Tricia Walker, Mortar Board Presi-
dent, head of the committee. Early
in 1961 a junior will be nominated
to the faculty Self-Study commit-
tee as head of the project during
1961-*62.

"We need one of your best
people," Dean Kline told the
council.

Folk Music

Sarah Adams, junior day stu-
dent, presented tentative plans for
a Folk Music Group.

Representative Council voted to
extend the privileges and responsi-
bilities of an authorized organiza-
tion, but withheld officially incor-
porating it into campus activities
pending indications of longevity.

'Sorry, . . . No Lines'

"I've wasted 50 cents already trying to get you."
"I've been trying to call you all afternoon (it's now 7 p.m.)
to see if you'd like to gg out to dinner, but I guess by now
you've eaten."

"Sorry, there are no lines."
"I have two calls waiting for this exten-
sion. Would you postpone your call?"

"When is a good time to call? Scott's im-
possible to get, those lines stay so busy."

There are 15 outside lines on the switch-
board. There are 95 extensions. Thirty-five
of these serve the dormitories, day student
room and Hub.

Each outside line serves 43 students.
Each extension serves an average of 19
students. During the day, of course, there are more ex-
tensions in use. During the day there is one outside line
for every 50 people on campus faculty, staff and students.
Furthermore, the "Dial 9" phones on campus use the out-
side lines on the switchboard. The number of "Dial 9" phones
could not be obtained, but there are at least 15.

The situation is crucial. We tested the situation one night
by trying to call the campus every ten minutes between
9:00 and 10:30. We got the operator for three out of ten times-
We got the desired extension once.

We must all miss opportunities to date occasionally sim-
ply because we are inaccessible by telephone. And almost
everybody could cite one instance where she was incon-
venienced because her date couldn't let her know what
time he'd pick her up, or what she should wear.

And out of 645 of us struggling for one of 15 outside lines,
somebody is bound to miss the boy she planned to ask to Fall
Frolics.

We're not asking for private lines in our rooms, like the
new Emory dorms have available.

We do feel, however, that the phone problem should be
realized in all its enormity. We feel that we should con-
vince the telephone company that our problem is big and
bad and real.

Perhaps enlarged service could be financed through por-
tions of the tuition increase. In any event, we recommend
action. The sooner, the better. E.T.

30-Minute Crab-bag

Time 10:30 a.m.

Place Gaines Chapel.

Purpose Wednesday Convocation.

Case in point Laura Lateness who flies into chapel at
10:31, speeds down the aisle, screeches to a halt before row
abc, clambers over six other Scotties to her seat in the middle
of the row, plops down noisely and lets her
books drop on the floor from an altitude of
two or three feet.

If perchance she is unsure of her seat num-
ber, she stands like a gallant explorer trying
to determine her relative position amidst a
sea of faces. Most others turn their attention
from the speaker and gaze at her in amuse-
ment.

Case in point Suzy Sweater-Letter
who is always on time for Convocation because that allows
her ten extra minutes in addition to the 30 alloted in which
she can knit or write letters.

If she budgets her time wisely, carefully working through
the announcements, prayers and featured speaker, she can
write a letter, address, stamp and seal it all in one handy
dandy 15-minute period.

Then with 20 minutes left, she can knit four or five more
rows on her sweater. Her needles fall to* the floor with a
loud ping and roll gently under the seat in front of her. She
noisily stoops and retrieves them with a loud "ugh." Re-
member convocation or no convocation, this sweater must
be finished by Christmas!

Case in point Iris Intellectual just must study for that
chemistry quiz. She lowers her head in an air of deep con-
centration. But beneath that guise lurks the ever-present
book. She flashes that "interested look" occasionally and
then loudly turning pages submerges herself again.

While this may be amusing to some, the fact remains that
such actions on the part of a large number of the students
are reflections of immaturity, irresponsibility and incon-
sideration.

We are required to go to chapel only once a week this
half hour being set aside for important announcements, wor-
ship and a featured speaker. It is simply common courtesy
to be on time and to listen attentively during this time.

The problem will be solved only through individual re-
sponsibility and a sense of consideration, or, in cases of
unavoidable lateness, by sitting in the balcony.

To quote last week's letter to the editor, "Chapel manners
are signs of our maturity. If this is the case, some Scotties
have a lot of growing up to do!" N.B.

Critic Praises
'Skin of Teeth'

By ELLEN MIDDLEBROOKS

Bouquets, more bouquets, all
bouquets to you, Blackfriars and
Drama Tech for a splendid per-
formance of Thornton Wilder' s
"The Skin of Our Teeth."

In honesty I admit that I en-
tered Theatre Atlanta Saturday
night dressed in my most critical
attitude so determined was I
not to allow my natural fondness
for Blackfriars to bias my opinion
of this production.

Yet after the first act I found
myself swept out of the world
of the frenzied activity that I
knew from past experience was
going on backstage and the fa-
miliar faces of schoolmates to
an almost professional "theatre"
atmosphere.

The play showing mankind in his
beginning, his end and his begin-
ning again, is written on several
levels and the alternate meshing
and delineating of the strata pro-
vide food for serious thought as
well as hilarious entertainment.

Brock Hanna as Sabina, the de-
lightful maid, is sparkling and
Margaret Roberts turns out a
wonderful performance as Mrs.
Antrobus the mother of all men.

Mr. Antrobus is brilliantly
played by a Tech professor.
Kaki White's vocal technique as
the "witch" fortune teller de-
serves sincere commendation.

The boys from Drama Tech were
very good, especially Jerry Russo
as the Antrobus' son, and the
stage manager within the play.

Technically one couldn't have
asked for better sound or light
and as for the sets and costumes
well I can't go on at least not
without a Thesaurus but take it
from me this is a play you can't
miss.

Hershberger Likes Tours;
'Paris Is First Lore Now'

Dear Scotties,

I really don't know where to start in sending you "greet-
ings from the Continent." Here I am in Paris now, and it's
unbelievably fabulous. I'm so very much in love with France,
the country, the people all of it.

Of course I miss so many things
that I was used to in the States,
like baths (we are allowed two a
week and during the six weeks in
Tours there was usually only
enough hot water for one).

I miss heat when it's at least
freezing in our room, and it takes
longer to get bundled up for bed
than to go out doors. I miss skirts
of a normal length I spent the
summer taking mine up, disillu-
sioned as I was because I still
look like something out of the
18th century.

Last but not least, I miss a
good old American breakfast of
eggs, cereal, bacon and orange
juice; these croissants and cof-
fee don't go very far.
Our family in Tours was mag-
nificent. There were five of us in
an eighteenth century chateau,
filled to the brim 'with antiques
since that was the Cheron's busi-
ness.

I was even scared to turn on
the light because everything was
so fragile, old, and beautiful.
Their property would practi-
cally cover Decatur and we had
every imaginable sort of vege-
table from the gardens plus our
own vineyard.

One of the big events of our
stay there was the vendange when
20 boys and girls from our group
and 20 French friends of Henri,
the Cheron's son, all came out to
pick the grapes which we pro-
ceeded to stomp on barefooted in
real native fashion.

It was only one of the many
times when I felt like a part of

Staggering Problems Lie
In Wake of Voting Chaos

By HARRIET SMITH

"The problems facing the next President are staggering . . .
the election is not the end of the story, it is the beginning.
The after-party carnival debris will festoon America Nov. 9,
but under it will be all America's unsolved problems.. The
next President must try to sweep it up.

"At home there is talk of a busi

ness turndown. Something must
be done to block gold from going
abroad in an unfavorable trade
balance. Unemployment is up . . .
The country must walk the tight-
line between inflation and re-
cession.

there be a sum-
mit conference?

armament ? . . at
the United Nations the uncom-

"Does this mean the United
States will walk out walk
out of an organization a world
war brought into being? And
how about Cuba?
'The new President . . . stands
alone ... he is the top executive

standing in exquisite loneliness.
"No story in history ever con-
cludes with the words 'the end/
It is always x to be continued/ "

These selections from an article
in Christian Science Monitor, Nov.
8, by Richard Stout give a per-
ceptive analysis of the situation
America and her President face
in the next four years.

One man, one party is incap-
able of dealing with these seri-
ous problems. It must be the work
of a united America.

The excitement and clamor
of the election is over; the time
for clear thinking and sober
hard work has come.
As Americans we are never
asked to withhold honest dis-
agreement or to suppress deep-
stated convictions. That is the
essence of a democratic system.

a picture post card because the
things I'm doing are what we read
about or see in a movie but you
never really think you could be
a part of.

We were three miles from
Tours and made the trip in
every day along the Loire River
on our bicycles.
You've never seen such muscles
as I've cultivated in my legs, but
I'm really thankful for the exer-
c.sc every time I try to put on a
skirt which no longer seems to be
my size.

We had two absolute banquets
a day, the most delicious food and
more of it than I've seen in my
life.

I could write a book about
the wonderful trips I took while
there, throughout the whole
Loire Valley and up through
northern France.
I saw all the famous chateaux
Chenonceaux, Chamboard, Azay
le Rideau, Blois ... and about ten
others, the cathedrals of Chartres
and Rouen, to Mont. St. Michel
and to the coast of Brittany for
weekends how I love it all!

I i could go on and on about the
picturesque towns unchanged since
the 12th century, the lovely little
houses each with its own garden,
the old peasant women, the coun-
try farmers, they, too, unchanged
by the centuries.

And Paris, although at first
all I wanted to do was go back
to Tours, is my first love now.
Our apartment is ten minutes
from the Champs Elysee and the
Arc de Triomph- and five in the
other direction from the Seine.

In one week I've seen enough
to fill a book (and walked that
much, too!).

You walk and walk, along the
grand boulevards with their
elegant shops, through the Latin
Quarter to the Sorbonne or the
Ecole du Louvre in the narrow
streets crowded with treasure-
filled boutiques.

The theatre, the art, the opera
and ballet, the relics and master-
pieces of centuries past and the
greats of the future are all around
me, and I only wish each of you
could be here to enjoy it, too.

I'm thinking of you all, and all
you're doing. From the news I've
gotten from Scott, you're having
a wonderful year, too.

I wish I could write everybody,
but since I can't, I'll say one
great big "MISS YOU" and do
let me hear from you when you
get a chance.

My love,

Alston Cites Faculty Salaries
As Big Factor In Tuition Hike

Beginning with the 1961-62 ses-
sion, the Board of Trustees has
authorized an increase in tuition
of $200, making the total charges
$1875 for a boarding student and
$925 for a day student.

Rising costs of college and uni-
versity operation and the necessity
for higher faculty salaries have
made the tuition increase impera-
tive.

The total cost to the college per
student for the 1959-60 session
was $2,176.74; during the current
1960-61 session, it is carefully esti-
mated at $2,360.35. Both years,
the charges have remained $1,675.
Faculty Salaries

Dr. Alston stated in an inter-
view, "Agnes Scott needs to pro-
ceed with a program, we began
years ago of improving our facul-
ty salaries and fringe benefits to
faculty and staff members.

"It is a matter of doing' justice
to fine men and women who are
devoting their lives to education,
and it is essential strategy for
building a great college.

Medical Program

"Agnes Scott has adopted a fine
medical program and the raise in
tuition will enable the college to
provide this service for the facul-

ty."

Other fringe benefits which will
be provided for by this money
will be improvements in the fa-
cilities for the library.

Student Aid

The college has made this move
re ] uctantly because it does not
want to see Agnes Scott priced
out of the income of anyone.

Those who will, because of the
tuition change, find it essential to
apply for financial aid for the first
time, or for an increase in the
amount currently held, are assured
of every consideration by the
Scholarship Committee.

Dr. Alston stated that the re-
sponse to the letter sent to the
parents has been understanding
and indicates an awareness of the
college's position in regard to this
matter.

Students are requested to con-
sult the bulletin board outside
room 102 Buttrick for full in-
formation about the proposed tui-
tion change.

Juniors Capture Swimming Title
As Three Existing Records Fall

For the third consecutive year the Class of '62 has won
the annual swimming meet. The Freshman team, however,
kept the victory unsure until the last race was over. In the
second half of the meet the Frosh steadily added points
but were still three points .behind when the final score was
tallied.

The official results were: Juniors
in first place with 43 points, the
Freshmen second with 40 points,
the Sophomores third and the Sen-
iors fourth.

In the course of the meet three
pool records were broken.

Records

Sue Aspinall, a talented Fresh-
man, splashed to a record-breaking
time in the 40-yard Freestyle and
won the 60-yard Individual Med-
ley.

Breaking the 40-yard Backstroke
mark was the time made by
Marianna Guion, one of Sue's
teammates. Sophomore Lelia Jones
set a new record in the 40 Breast-
stroke 4

The Juniors, managed by Lyn
Horn, placed first in three events.
Ethel Gilmore won the form event
in Freestyle. The other victories
credited to the Juniors are the 60-
yard Medley Relay and the 80-yard
Freestyle Relay.

Freshmen

In addition to the three wins
mentioned earlier the Class of '64
also chalked up two more firsts.

Janet Hodge won the Sidestroke
for form and Karen Baxter, the
Breaststroke for form.

Lynn Cole won the form event in
Backstroke for the Sophs; and
Anne Broad, for the fourth time,
won the Diving.

Judges

Smoking Survey Finds
93% Approve Smoker

The smoking survey filled out by
Agnes Scott students earlier in the
quarter has been computed and
presented to the Administration.
The results of the survey show
that 48 9r of the campus smokes.

93 7< of the entire campus-, both
smokers and non-smokers, are in
favor of a study smoker; and 907r
of the campus feel there is a need
for some place for dates on campus
to smoke other than the Hub.

Co-operation

The administration was interest-
ed in the results of the survey and
impressed by the great number of
replies. Over 400 people answered.

The Administration recognizes
the great need for a study smoker
and plans to aid the committee in
every way possible in finding a
suitable place, Lelia Jones, com-
mittee head, commented.

For Pi Alpha Phis All-South Trophies

Dr. John Tumblin examines a scoop for wetting down the sail on a
"jangade," a Northeastern Brazilian sailing raft borrowed from
Goa in the 1600's and still in use.

Tumblin To Speak Friday,
Dissects Plight Of Brazil

Dr. John Tumblin, Visiting Professor in Sociology and
Anthropology, will speak in chapel Friday on the economic
and social problems of contemporary Brazil.

Dr. Tumblin arrived in Decatur

during Christmas from the "huge
and disjointed nation" where he
has served on the Baptist Foreign
Mission Board since 1956.

Born in Brazil, Dr. Tumblin
spent his first 16 years in the
country where his father was
a Baptist minister.
He finished high school in the
United States, served in the Navy,
and completed his undergraduate
course at Wake Forest College.

Following graduate study he
taught at Randolph-Macon Wom-
an's College for five years, then
returned to Recipe, Brazil.

"There is a very strong demo-
cratic idea in Brazil/' Dr. Tumb-
lin reports, "but an essential
economic problem hinders its
development."
"The expense of constructing
the new capital of Brazilia in an
already weak economy is a par-
ticular problem."

Friday chapel, which will dissect
the plight of the country, will be
followed by a slide lecture Jan.
19 on Brazilia, "a city that will
pull the population inward and at
the same time create a monetary
predicament."

Suppressed Desires Day
To Offer Inhibitions Outlet

By CAROLE SUE JACKSON

Suppressed Desires Day Jan. 16 will unleash a week of fun for charity, Junior Jaunt
Chairman Ellen Middlebrooks announced. While the junior class traditionally sponsors the
campus charity drive, each class competes in fund-raising activities.

Suppressed Desires Day is an
annual event releasing hidden
wishes pent-up for a year. Sports
clothes may be worn anywhere on
campus, and faculty and staff
members may be called by their
first names (or nicknames!).

The faculty elevator in Buttrick
is given over to student use, as
s the faculty dining room, and
students may scream in the libra-
ry (from 1-2 p.m.). Dates on Mon-
day will not count as social en-
gagements.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, January 11, 1961

If You're Leaving...

To you who are thinking about transferring:
We thought about it, too.

We were torn on the one hand by the academic rewards,
by trusts and friendships on campus, by the fact that a B.A.
from Agnes Scott was more of a passport than a diploma,
by the bright lights of Atlanta.

Those bright lights of Atlanta well, we
didn't see them much. And when we did it
was hardly worth the trouble with all that
red tape. This tore us on the other hand
hard.

We decided to try to eliminate some of the
red tape so we could meet some of Atlanta's
vast numbers of educated, single, sharp men:
then we wouldn't have to give up the nice
things about Agnes Scott just because a
steady diet of the campus was sickening.

When we got to single date, it helped. ("You mean you
ever had to double date?")

12:30 permission on week-ends did too. ("But Emory gets
1:30 every night.")

Friends who had us out for the week-end were wonderful.
("You mean Mrs. Jones can't let you eat at my place even
when 10 other people and a married couple will be there?")

Parents broke the monotony. ("Won't you have something,
dear?") . . . ("You mean you can't drink even with your own
parents?")

("Meet me in the Hub if I'm in Main it takes 20 minutes
to get you on the phone and I'll probably have to show my
identification and my good conduct medal.")

("If that cop says one more thing . . .")

("How can you all stand it out there? I went out once my
freshman year and haven't been back . . . it's too much
trouble to shelter you all in the manner to which they're
accustoming you.")

You are some of the smartest, sharpest, most alive girls
we know, you who are thinking of transferring.

The school can't afford to lose you you who are caring
critics, you who are mature and thinking.

It needs those of your classes who have already decided
to stay and work to make it better those of you who want
to see the social match the academic in freedom and re-
sponsibility.

Don't go unless you think there's no hope don't go unless
you consider first Atlanta's high proportion of young men
to young women don't give up all the good things be-
cause of a still soluble problem a problem already in the
process of being solved. E.T.

Within The Eye

The eye of a hurricane is a vacuum of calm. We inside are
not beset by torrential rains or winds that wreck destruction.

We are yet a part of the phenomena and can hear the not-
too-distant threatening disturbance 'Two-four-six-eight,
we don't want to integrate!" "Jesus died to make men
holy, let us strive to make men free. Don't shop at Rich's."
And we can see the black-faced effigy tossed in the turbu-
lence of a mob of our contemporaries.

Thus the realization of our involvement
in the whole should puncture our calm of
complacency.

We cannot remain aloof, untouched by the
bitterness raging about us. We sense the
timeliness of the poet-prophet Wordsworth:

But this is a passion over-near ourselves,

Reality too close and too intense,

And intermixed with something . . ,

of scorn and condemnation personal.

"Separate but equal," the legal appeals based upon the
Constitution's tenth amendment, interposition, and pupil-
placement all of these are but tombstones marking the
South's path of retreat.

We have witnessed the slow but inevitable decomposi-
tion of a body a body of manners, mores and discrimi-
nations. The Holmes-Hunter vs. Danner decision has
translated "inevitable" into "now."

Stripped of the slim chances of final appeal and the
irrationality of closing state institutions, the finality of the
court order, "Now," confronts Georgia.

Still there will be struggle and controversy. There will be
extremists who refuse to accept integration in public edu-
cation and those who would effect a rapid social amalgama-
tion.

. . . How might we believe
That wisdom could, in any shape, come near
Men clinging to delusions so insane.
Perhaps the most rational approach we have heard was
voiced by the new editor of the University of Georgia's
The Red and Black: "I think that they knew it was coming
Most of the students accept the fact ... As for me, T'm
going to act like a college student should act. I know I'll
treat anyone with the proper respect they (sic) deserve."
This social turmoil creates an unhappy state of instability.
Acceptance is always more difficult than struggle. Still only
in acceptance is there sanity. L.B.S.

Minute Laos Looms As Scene
Of U.S. -Communist Tensions

By HARRIET SMITH

Laos Pathet Lao, Kong Le, Phoumi, Boun Oum a year
ago Laos was but a far-away place and these alien names
meant little or nothing to most Americans; today they echo
with frightening regularity in newspaper and broadcasts as
Laos threatens to become the scene of an international con-
flict.

i

Laos, like Korea, is an Asian
country strategically squeezed in
between the pro-Communist North
and the pro-Western South.

A tiny kingdom with only 1.7
million inhabitants, Laos seems
most unlikely spot for a clash
the great powers; yet in mid-De-
cember it became apparent that
her civil war could spread to a
major conflict between the Com-
munists and the Western world.

The major dilemma in Laos
since she gained her independence
in 1954 has been the problem of
dealing with the Pathet Lao, Com-
munist-led guerillas from two
northern provinces.

Opposition

Last summer Sowanna Phouma
took over the Laotian government
with a promise to solve the prob-
lem, but his policy of appease-
ment met opposition from rightest
forces.

In December pro- Western Prince
Boun Oum and Gen. Phoumi
Nosavan, with financial aid from
the U. S., ousted Phouma and
took over the government.

The pro-Western government of
Boun Oum and Phoumi retained
ils position after ^ bitter three-
day battle at Vientiane with the
united forces of Pathet Lao and
Kong Le, Phouma's general, but
almost immediately afterward
real trouble began.

Plane Attack

A communique from Vientiane
charged pro-Communist North
Vietnam with invading Laos in
"flagrant aggression," and the
tension increased when a Soviet
plane in the act of dropping sup-
plies to Pathet Lao attacked an
American plane sent to observe
the operation.

Although no evidence has been
found to substantiate the Laotian
charge of Vietnamese raids, the
Red Chinese and the Russians are
openly reinforcing the Pathet Lao
with troops and supplies.

Financially and legally the U. S.
is heavily committed in Laos.
Since 1954 America has poured
some $300 million dollars into
Laos, and the SEATO treaty re-
quires that the U. S. take action
to halt "Communist aggression"
against Laos, South Vietnam and
Cambodia.

U. S. Commitment

In supporting Boun Oum and
Phoumi against Red-supported
Pathet Lao the U. S. actually
stands alone. Both Britain and
France seem to feel that only a
compromise with neutralist and
Communist elements can save the
Laotian government.

As tension mounts the U. S.
may be forced to decide whether
to engage her forces in a Korea-
type war in Laos or whether to
retreat and permit this crucial

area to fall to the Communists."

Like other small but important
trouble spots, Laos has become a
Communist testing ground for de-
termining just how far the U. S.
can be pushed.

Although war is certainly to be
avoided if a. u all possible, a re-
treat in Laos would not guaran-
tee peace for long. The Com-
munists would find another Laos
and the story would begin again.

'Suzie', 'Spartacus'
Beckon Movie Fans

By ELLEN MIDDLEBROOKS

A new year demands new enter-
tainment and Atlanta has it in the
form of two new films.

Surprisingly "The World of Suzie
Wong" starring Nancy Kwan and

William Hoi den
has not received
rave notices.

The general
feeling is that
the picture tends
to become
"soupy."

Even though' a
tug of responsi-
bility is felt for a world where
threatened starvation sends girl
children into selling their bodies,
the picture remains mostly thea-
trical hokum, quaint in operetta
fashion.

Another of the "spectaculars" is
showing at the Roxy "Sparta-
cus" starring Kirk Douglas, Jean
Simmons, Peter Ustinov, Charles
Laughton and Sir Laurence
Olivier.

The film runs primarily to the
historical account with the usual
fictional deviation in the love story.
Although pictorially stunning the
film is occasionally a bit gory.

The rest of the week will be

climated by the class skits in ^he

Gaines, followed by an informal
dance in Walters' Basement with
ceffee and an open fire.

Saturday night at the formal
Winter Charity Ball a Queen will
be chosen representing the class
with the largest per capita con-
tribution.

The dance will be at the Dink-

music by the Catalinas. A break-
fast will follow.

The Hub, by
majority vote of
the student
body, now re-
mains open during the chapel
hour. The library is open on Sun-
day afternoons, and the use of
the science libraries has been ex-
tended.

A committee is still working on
the possibility of students signing
out from Walters and having their
dates call for them there.

We are all aware that some of
these privileges have been
granted us under condition and
that abuse of them will effect
their revocation.

We are also aware that many
students have in the depths of
their minds further ideas and sug-
gestions which have not yet been
brought to light, or about which
they have not been persistent
enough to bring about results.

For example, we 'have heard
"behind the scenes" griping about
certain dining hall regulations,
about the telephone situation and
about certain faculty practices.
We feel that this year there
has been more action on the
basis of student suggestions
than there has been in the past
several years.

This is due primarily to the
greater interest at least active
interest of the student body at
large in the problems and poten-
tialities of the college.

So we appeal to you to voice
your opinions, to air your griev-
ances, to submit constructive
criticism. Only thereby can we
expect progress and action.

First Basketball Turn-out Shows
Little Spirit, Team Participation

By INA JONES

One of the most rewarding aspects of campus life is the
enjoyment of and participation in extra-curricular athletics.
After such a successful hockey season, the college communi-
ty is anticipating an equally exciting basketball season.

However > the reports on the

initial week of
practices have
been that active
interests have
been poor.

One class has
failed to produce
a single player.
Perhaps we
can blame this

negligence on the fact that the
practices so far have been on
the first few days after vaca-
tion.

Certainly, it would be incorrect
to assume that there is no talent
in the field. Those of us who saw
the hockey games realize that
there are many outstanding ath-
letes in the student body.

The competition during the
first part of basketball season
will be between dorms.

At the end of the season, there
wil be a final round of class com-
petition. A Championship Cup will
be awarded to the class with the
best record.

We have adequate facilities and
more than capable managers and
coaches for a good season. What
more do we need? Players!

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-

mind and spirit.

AGNES SCOn COLLEGE

The Music Department will
make several significant changes,
including two classes for the
basic 101 course, one for students
with previous musical training.

A course in Medieval and
Renaissance Music and one in
Hymnology, not offered in 1961-
62, will be introduced.

There are also changes in the
amount of credit given for applied
music.

Mathematics

The Mathematics department is
changing many of its courses also,
making Introduction to Modern
Abstract Algebra a six-quarter
hour course, followed by Modern
Abstract Algebra in the spring.

Introduction to Mathematical
Statistics and Probability has also
been made a six-hour course in
place of Statistics, a five-hour
course.

Agent To Make Study
Of Telephone Situation

Mr. P. J. Rogers, Business Man-
ager, reports that next week a
representative from Southern Bell
will be on campus to make a sur-
vey of the phone situation at
Agnes Scott.

Through this survey a plan for
improvement of telephone service
over a period of time will be
worked out.

The last such survey was in
1955.

Work on the telephone situa-
tion will probably not begin
until next September, depend-
ing on the availability of trunk
lines.

During the Christmas holidays,
the art labs in Buttrick received
new lights, and the pianos in the
cottages and dormitories were
tuned.

The ceilings in the dining hall
were painted. The ceiling of Dr.
Henry A. Robinson's office was re-
moved and replaced with acoustic
tile.

Plans were made for installa-
tion of a T.V. set in Main.

A. S C. Development Fund
Reaches Half-Way Mark

Agnes Scott's 75th Anniversary Development fund has now
reached a total of approximately $2,350,000, more than one-
half of the proposed $4,500,000 goal. Campaign director W. C.
French announced that the fund-raising activities are making
"healthy, steady progress'' and stressed the fact that with
only a third of the total work completed, the campaign is al-
ready beyond the halfway mark.

The $2,350,000 raised to date has
come from 17 area campaigns and
from areas yet to be approached.

Of this amount, $108,493 has
been raised here on campus by the
Agnes Scott student body, faculty
and administration.

Area Success
The success of the campus cam-
paign was highly praised by Mr.
French, who said that "no area
where we can go will perform more
satisfactorily than the campus."

Mr. French also pointed out that
in the 17 area campaigns already
conducted, "a remarkably high per-
centage" of the people contacted
made pledges.

He stated that "more alumnae
and parents are giving, and are
giving more thoughtfully than ever
before in the history of the col-
lege."

Volunteer Effort

Mr. French also commended "the
remarkable job" being done by
the volunteer committee members
in the organization and execution
of the area campaigns.

He added that their efforts in
the campaign show "an enthusiasm
and desire that can only speak
very highly of the attitude and de-
votion of Agnes Scott women to
their alma mater."

Before the campaign "target
date," Jan. 26, 1964 Agnes Scott's
75th anniversary, more area cam-
paigns will be conducted.

Atlanta, the largest, is among 6

areas now in the process of organ-
ization. The other 5 areas are
Knoxville, College Park, Savannah,
New Orleans and Mobile.

In speaking of the progress of
the fund-raising activities, Mr.
French expressed his confidence
that "this kind of performance
will continue throughout the cam-
paign."

Rabble Stains Page
Of Georgia History

For once the stand of daily papers emptied every day this
week. Perhaps it was the geographical proximity perhaps
it was the emotional character of the issue but every day
this week thirty students spent a nickle to find out about
Athens.

By last Wednesday it looked like the worst
was over.

Charlayne Hunter and Hamilton Holmes
got a moral victory.

Students acted like adults.
The judges got their brownie points with
the Supreme Court and the legislators were
off the hook with their constituents because
they didn't have to really agree to integra-
tion since the courts took the laws off the
books temporarily, and by Thursday, permanently.

Vandiver had done bette than anybody expected and
Georgia got praise from the lips of the Huntley-Brinkley
institution on NBC.

All this balm to the hearts of thinking people erupted into
a boiling sore Wednesday night when a few students be-
came tools for the Klan and their status-seeking Citizens'
Council-type brothers.

Students became dupes of inflammatory forces, and the
state took a beating in reputation which was worse because
of the good faith people had gained early in the week.
Whatever effect the Athens violence has on Georgia it
has on Agnes Scott, too.

The majority of students at the University were obviously
not participators or sympathizers with the riot, but they will
probably be lumped in with the minority rabble in the minds
of many people.

Athens should, then, urge us to consciousness, for unless we
provide now and in our future lives the moral leadership
and gumption of thinking persons, we too as individuals
and as a college will be lumped in these same minds with
the odds and ends of rabble.

Wherever we go when we leave Agnes Scott, the future
of the Athens week goes with us.

Even if we are not aware of the mark left by the times,
we are not exonerated from future responsibility.

Last week and it may not yet be over is the embry-
onic stimulus to our future as women providing educated
leadership.

We begin now to experience what it feels like to be
marked by the times. We should begin now to realize our-
selves as marks, rather than blots, on the time. E.T.

'Jaunt' Asks More
Than Dollars, Cents

Junior Jaunt began as a dream in the minds of a number
of Juniors last fall. As dreams materialized and plans evolved
into the reality of this week, the problems of perspective
and interpretation became paramount.

The problem was one of interpretation to two classes who
have never experienced Junior Jaunt catching the spirit
of fun and frivolity being caught up in
the larger idea that the primary purpose of
the week is to raise money for charity.

The question of perspective reared its
head also attempting to realize that Junior
Jaunt involved most of the junior class and
a great number of freshmen, sophomores,
and seniors in its preparation and to be suc-
cessful must elicit support in time and money
from the entire campus this week.

Perspective amidst the catty remarks, the carping criti-
cism "I don't feel that the dance is worth the time, effort
or money," "I don't have a cent after all, I'm on a fixed
allowance," "Don't press me about selling hot-dogs I just
don't have the time . .

Still there was the problem of interpretation in response
to the query "why have a week of concentrated fund-raising
efforts?" explaining that the campus is solicited at no
other time during the year and that the student body has
the privilege of selecting the charities to which its money
will be given.

Finally, there was the realization that Junior Jaunt re-
quires not only a giving of time and effort but a giving of
ourselves during a quarter which has the remarkable
tendency to make us grow inward and remain placidly un-
concerned and uncommitted about the world beyond the
campus block.

It is a commonplace that on our campus we have few
opportunities for really doing anything . . .

Here, then, is our opportunity for action . . . N.B.

Castro Begins Second Year
As Counter-Revolt Ferments

By HARRIET SMITH

Fidel Castro celebrated his second anniversary as Cuban
dictator on January 2 with an ominous seven-hour review
of troops and armaments, and a harangue against the U. S.

be reduced to the utterly inadequate number of 11.

Junior Jaunt Parties
Spark Weekend Fun

By ELLEN MIDDLE BROOKS

Don't look further! All varieties
of entertainment are found on the
ASC campus this weekend, from
a "Song Session" to a formal ball.

Junior Jaunt activities this
weekend promise to keep us as
well entertained as the projects
did busy.

A production. "Bell. Book, and
Bedlam," will start things rolling
with sparkling hilarity Friday
night at 8.

With students and faculty co-
operating, this promises to be
the year's best in "skit-wit."
Following the skits from
about 9-12 p.m. an informal
party in Walters' Basement will
be the scene of dancing, song-
fests, conversation and, of course,
cookies, chips, and cokes.

Saturday's entertainment begins
at 3 p.m. in the Hub with the
celebrated Trinidads. a quartet
whose style is much like the
Kingston Trio.

The week is climaxed by Ag-
nes Scotf s annual and only for-
mal affair, the Winter Charity
Ball.

The dance will be held in the
Dinkler-Plaza, downtown Atlanta,
from 9-12 p.m. with breakfast
served from 12:15-1 p.m. Scotties
will dance to the sparkling music
of Ray Stevens' Orchestra.

"There is a limit to what
United States can endure. That
limit has now been reached," re-
torted President Eisenhower in a
curt official statement to Castro
which severed diplomatic relations
between the U.S.
and Cuba.

In the brief
space of two
years the once
lauded "saviour
of Cuba" upon
whom millions of
Americans and
Cubans placed their hopes has
shown his true color as a danger-
ous, power-mad Communist.

Not only has he courted Russia
while launching a calculated propa-
ganda campaign against the U. S.,
but he has turned the gay va-
cationland of Cuba into a drab
military state on the verge of
economic collapse.

Disillusioned Following
His once-enthusiastic supportors,
Cuba's "cream of the crop," are
now a disillusioned, frightened
people who, until the diplomatic
break, flooded the U.S. Embassy
with requests for visas and arrived
in Miami at the rate of 1,000 a
week.

Eleven O'clock Curfew
For Sunday Night- Why?

By VIRGINIA PHILIP

We are curious as to why, when the administration and
student government so wisely and generously extended our
Friday and Saturday night late time limits, they neglected
to follow suit with that of Sunday night.

Is it to prompt us to go to bed

early before beginning a week

classes?

Surely week-
ends are not that

gruelling, and if

this is the

motive, it is

probably not

very effective

for many people

anyway.

It takes as long to drive into
and back from Atlanta on Sun-
day night as on any other,
movies last just as long, and
v/aitresses are just as slow.
After attending a 7:30 or 8:00

church service little time is left

for even a profitable campus study

date.

staying out forty-five minutes
later the night before would make
little difference).

Our strongest argument for
an extension to the late time
limit of other week nights is
possibly the same as the chief
argument against it that it
is the last night of the week-
end.

This often means that a girl
will not see him until the follow-
ing week-end.

Although all good things must
admittedly come to an end, she
doesn't want to see it happen al-
most before it began.

Especially is this freshman,
who must apportion her dates so
that one falls on Sunday night,
hit by the eleven o'clock cur-
few.

This is the time, loo, when out-
of-town trips are usually termi-
nated, and it means bringing per-
haps the biggest week-end of the
year to an end at an outrageously
early hour.

We can not conjure any strong
defense for making Sunday night
different from Tuesday night.

Perhaps we have missed a stra-
tegic point, and if so, we shall
welcome a sound explanation.

Dr. William Jones, of Emory
University, led a lecture and de-
monstration on glassblowing for
laboratory use Jan. 12.

The Agnes Scott chapter of Chi
Beta Phi sponsored the program.

Jane Henderson introduced Dr.
Jones, who discussed the apparatus

Bridgman Participates
in Biology Conference

Miss Annie J. Bridgman, Pro-
fessor and Chairman of Agnes
Scott's Biology Department, was
one of 60 representatives of col-
leges throughout the country in-
vited to attend a science confer-
ence at the University of Miami
Dec. 26-31.

Sponsored by the National In-
stitute of Health, the convention
dealt with the role of the physical
sciences in biology.

The biophysics study section of
the National Institute asked the
American Institute of Biological
Sciences to suggest to them college
professors who would be interested
in and would profit from this con-
vention.

Miss Bridgman was one of six
women chosen among the repre-
sentatives from 35 institutions,
most of which are small liberal arts
colleges.

While in Miami, Miss Bridgman
attended lectures conducted by
scientists in the field of biophysi-
cal research and participated in
workshops and discussion groups.

Garber To Plan New Model
To Parallel Temple Replica

"It is the only one of its kind in

He was speaking of the model
econstruction of Solomon's Temple
on display at Agnes Scott since
1950.

"The Interpreters Bible Diction-
ary f to be published soon in
several volumes by the Abingdon
Company, will contain material on

model to the Brussels World Fair
to be shown with the display of
the state of Israel. This invitation,
however, could not be accepted.

Another model is now in the
planning stages, Dr. Garber dis-
closed. He and Mr. Howland plan

largest commodity, piles up in
leaky warehouses or is bartered
to the Soviet Union for weevily
rice, unusable machinery, inade-
quate supplies of crude oil, guns
and tanks, and broken promises.

Castro is in trouble. His sup-
porters dwindle every day; ter-
rorist acts are increasing; anti-
Castro slogans appear in public
places; boos are heard in the safe
darkness of a movie theater.

Magic Method

Even Castro's once-effective
method of stirring up dramatic
crises has lost its magic. Despite
urgent government charges of an
imminent U.S. invasion, popular
demonstrations are few.

A silent populace eyes the mili-
tary fortifications sceptically.

Castro does still have a sub-
stantial number of supporters, but
counter-revolution is in the air
and signs of discontent are grow-
ing.

U. S. S. R. Ride

Dr. Carillo, a former high official
for Castro turned counter-revolu-
tionist, indicates that the Soviet
Union, Castro's one hope for mili-
tary support and economic aid, is
taking him for a ride.

Carillo quotes a Soviet diplomat
who declared that Russia considers
Castro unstable and untrust-
worthy, useful only as a tool
against the U.S.

Carillo also insists that Russia
is defaulting on her promises of
economic aid.

How Long?

He gives Castro six more months
to endure. Other estimates run
from 30 days to "as long as Russia
feels like carrying it unless
there's a counter-revolution."

The diplomatic break with Cuba,
a necessary and perhaps over-due
move, does not mean that the
U.S. has any intention of relaxing
concentration on Cuba.

The Cuban situation is more vital
now than ever.

If Castro falls, Cuba could be-
come a valuable example to other
countries of the evils of commu-
nism; or she could become a
Communist satellite.

To Tally Recreation Hours

Because of the change in the

Independent recreation includes
every hour spent in tennis, bad-

Practices for tennis, badminton
and archery tournaments should
be recorded in addition to the
practices for the Dolphin Club
pageant and the swimming meet.

Through the
efforts of Kaye Stapleton and
Deedie Withers, Walters came
out to lead at the end of the
first quarter with the score
reading 10-6.

With spirited determination Re-
bekah retaliated in the second
quarter under the leadership of
Jeanne Whitaker and Mariana
Guion.

Guards Betty Hood and Becky
Vick held the Walters' forwards
to one goal.

Beginning with the third
quarter, the score being 13-12
in Rebekah's favor, the action
became more exciting as the
ball passed back and forth

across the centerline.

Guards from both teams Bar-
bara Brown, Laura Steakley,
Becky Craig and Mary Edson
seemed more intent on getting the
ball away from the forwards.

Stapleton and Mary Beth Thom-

ters in the lead again 24-21.
Rebekah took the initiative

final minutes the victor still
was not evident.

At the timekeeper's whistle
the cheers from the Walters'
spectators announced that their
team had won 34-30.

Kay Stapleton was high scorer
for Walters with 18 points, while
Mariana Guion and Jeanne Whi-

ROBERT FROST
'Poet Laureate of America"

By LUCY SCHOW

Robert Frost will arrive today for his twentieth visit to Agnes Scott. This noted author

whom the news analysts, Huntley and Brinkley, in commenting upon the Inauguration,

termed, "the Poet Laureate of America" first came to the college in 1935.

Miss Emma May Lanev, former ' ' *

Later in the same year a poem

entitled "My Butterfly, An Elegy"

was accepted for publication by

the highly reputable magazine,

"The Independent."

chairman of the Public Lecture
Association, had heard Mr. Frost
at Columbia and suggested that he
be invited to lecture at Agnes
Scott.

Mr. Frost was born in San Fran-
cisco in 1874 but moved to Massa-
chusetts when he was 11 with his
mother after his father's death.

He attended Dartmouth and
Harvard and has worked during
his life as a bobbin-boy, editor,
farmer and psychology teacher.
First Poems

lection of poems entitled "Twi-
light" published by a small job

Courage In Crisis

Two weeks ago six Virginia students were arrested under
state anti-trespassing laws for "sitting in" in Lynchburg. Two
of the students were Negroes.

Two others were from Randolph-Macon
Woman's College.

Two others were from Virginia Theologi-
cal Seminary (Episcopal). *

Reactions appeared in both the Hollins
Columns and The Sweet Briar News. They
were many-faceted.

Some were distressed because girls
from Randolph-Macon were mixed up
with such a socially reprehensible move-
ment.

Others weighed the balance between conscien
reputation of the schools and conscience won. The Sweet
Briar editor chided students there for indifference and petty
snobbery. ,

An appeal for contributions to a fund to pay the students'
legal aid was made at Sweet Briar. The News mentioned that
Randolph-Macon students had begun the fund voluntarily
and that the student body there had responded with a high
per capita percentage of contributions.

Right now the situation is probably embarrassing to
Randalph-Macon officials and alumnae. Twenty years from
now it can probably be proud that the girls, whether acting
as individuals or not, placed the school in the vanguard
of stand-takers.
Fence-sitting can go on only so long in the face of uncom-
fortable but right positions, it can become much more un-
comfortable than the inevitable stand.

Agnes Scott students and faculty, both last year and this,
allied themselves with the process of law and order. It is
commendable.

The question of the stand of the college on the moral
issue itself, which more often than not is couched in the
faint area between legality and lack of law, has yet to be
answered by the college, though individuals within the
school, both faculty and students, have made their per-
sonal commitment.

The question must be considered now for all of us indi-
vidually, so that when the college must give a unified answer,
it can do so courageously. E.T.

St. Letitia's Cathedral

Once upon a time in the outskirts of a large city there was
a small, select, convent for girls. Among the students en-
rolled was an especially cute, lively girl named Frannie Frosh

Now Frannie studied diligently every day
and danced every weekend at Tech and Em-
ory fraternity parties.

This naturally required a great deal of
energy, and Frannie looked forward to the
three times a day when she was allowed to
enter St. Letitia's Cathedral and partake of
nourishment.

Frannie therefore was shocked at some of
the signs that kept appearing more and more
frequently, such as "One serving, please" and "Come back
for seconds."

Sometimes at the evening meal when she went back tor a
second sparerib, she was told that she must wait until 6:30

Since on one occasion it was only 5:40, she had to sit 50
minutes looking at her empty plate.

Frannie had been taught from infancy to love milk.
Imagine her consternation when she found that she could
have only one glass at a time!

Now Frannie also had 12 a.m. classes every day. The lunch
line always was so long and moved so slowly that it was 1:25
by the time she got her food. Often there was not much se-
lection left. ,

Since Frannie had not yet learned how to arrange a good
schedule, she had 2 p.m. classes every day. So she frantically
bolted her lunch, and this gave her acute indigestion.

Ill fact, all these events grieved her very much.

Moral of the story: try Me trecal. C.J .

Nationally Speaking

Kennedy Administration Sets
Emphasis on New Proposals

By HARRIET SMITH

"New" is the keyword for the Kennedy administration.
New precedents: the youngest President in the history of the
country; the first Catholic President. New man. New ideas.
New frontiers.

Inevitably all the emphasis on
"new' sparks a question in the
minds and on the lips of many
Americans' Will Kennedy be too
new?

Does "new"
mean a radical
departure from
the concepts of
government upon
which America
was founded?
Will the opening
weeks of Ken-
nedy's administration be reminis-
cent of F. D. R.'s "100 Days"?
"No" is the concensus of
leading newspapers and maga-
zines.

A close look at Kennedy's cab-
inet reveals that in almost every
case liberals have been given sec-
ondary posts undep the thumbs of
able moderates.

The "idea men" have already
supplied Kennedy with a multi-
tude of recommendations, but
there is every indication that he
intends to move slowly in asking
Congress to put them into effect.

Labeling Kennedy's proposals
,xx a moderate program/' the New
York Times declares that "Mr.
Kennedy, unlike his party's plat-
form, is proposing nothing that
vibrates the Capitol's ancient
underpinnings."

Realizing that the close victory

margin could hardly be regarded
as a liberal mandate, Kennedy the
President will in all probability
assume a more moderate position
than Kennedy the Campaigner.
New, yes. Radical, no.

Ditch Duck, Avocado
Cry Hungry Seniors

To The Editor:

Another variation on an old,
familiar theme food.

Agnes Scott has, on the whole,
good and varied meals. Few other
institutions are so fortunate. Rare
steak, apple pie, delicious rolls,
and all the rest these are to be
commended.

However, attention needs to be
drawn to the matter of portions
and combinations, or "who gets
how much of what."

It is evident at some meals that
the food budget is under a strain,
for the "only one" signs go up,
and the servings become scanty.

We receive one tomato to make
a sandwich, or we are fed cheese
and crackers cleverly disguised as
Welsh rarebit.

An obvious answer to this pro-
blem is less food of the caliber
and expense of duck, avocado, and
almonds and more basic, nourish-
ing, and less expensive items.

When it comes to the question
of combinations, the situation is
sometimes more intolerable.

Under no standards imaginable
could sausage and a sweet roll
be considered a balanced break-
fast; yet it is often a choice be-
tween that and an egg and sausage.

We are not spoiled children who
demand caviar or pheasant under
glass but we are sensible young
women who want adequate, well-
balanced meals to give us the
energy needed to keep up the daily
academic pace.

not new, but it seems to me that
something can be done al-
though we have progressed a great
deal this year many of the fine
girls who are only thinking of
leaving now, may well do so in
the future.

In the first place, we came to
Agnes Scott as ladies.

A girl of this day and age is a
far more sophisticated and mature
person than her senior sister was
only four years ago.

Therefore, we expected that
the honor system would be our
guarantee that our judgment
was to be respected in both our
personal and community life at
college.

Instead we find that in Re-
bekah date parlors there are
neither light switches nor locks
which would not be so disturbing
if we could not see that both
were actually REMOVED.

This situation is an insult to
our breeding and to our character.
Then too, men's apartments are
out-of-bounds.

May I ask what could be done
there that could not be done in
a car?

Here we have another case
where our own judgment con-
cerning the time and situation
should be used.

Another thing that many of us
particularly dislike is the fact
that even twenty freshman girls
can not go into Atlanta or ride

in a taxi at night without a senior.
What could a person do?
Many of us are far more fa-
miliar with Atlanta than some
seniors; and certainly we are
quite capable of conducting our-
selves appropriately on all
occasions.

In other words, we have found
the honor system falling far short
of our expectations, for with an
honor system it. should not be
necessary to have so many trivial
rules that, face it, are absurd in
this modern age.

We feel that the argument pre-
sented to us that many girls are
not so mature is pointless, for
they would not be affected.

I feel Chat the individual
should be allowed to use her
own discretion in all affairs,
period.

There is one more thing that I
feel it is necessary to mention
briefly: drinking.

To be told that we can not
accomplish our aim if drinking
were allowed is hard to believe.
Look at Vassar, Smith, Sophie
Newcomb.

Can anyone say that they
have not succeeded? I do not
think so.

Don't mis-understand us; we
love Agnes Scott basically, and
it is our hope that by remaining
here we will bring about these
changes that we feel are vital to
the life blood of our school.

Interview: Athens

'Real Problem- Newsmen/
University Student Asserts

By FRANCES ANDERSON

Lydia Wommack, formerly a member of the Class of 1963
who now is a sophomore at the University of Georgia, was
visiting on our campus this past weekend.

Everywhere she went she was

bombarded with questions about
the situation in Athens, Georgia.

When asked about the rioting,
she said, "Some legislators called
up " the fraternity houses and
asked the brothers to start some-
thing.

"If any brother were caught
his fine would be taken care of.
Only a few students created the
disturbances. The real problem
is created by all the newsmen
and photographers who try to
stir up trouble.
"For example, the day Char-
layne Hunter went over to the
C. and J. building (the Commerce
and Journal Building) to talk to
the Deans, we were just standing
around waiting to see what was to
happen.

"A Life photographer was on
the steps of the building. He
wanted an action picture so he
told the students to 'do something
so I can take a picture.'

"Another example," she con-
tinued, "was the way a picture
of a hand about to throw a rock
appeared in the Atlanta Journal
or the Constitution last Wednes-
day.

"Go look it up/' she told a
News reporter. "It was a posed
picture."

When asked how the students

feel about the whole business,
Lydia said, "As far as the stu-
dents are concerned, everyone is
tired.

"We would rather not have
them (the Negro students) but
we don't want all the mess."

College Faculty Wires Approval
To Aderhold, Faculty at Georgia

Ninety percent of the faculty of
Agnes Scott College responded to
the situation at the University of
Georgia last week by mailing a
letter of sympathy to the Uni-
versity Faculty.

President Wallace M. Alston
wired President O. C. Aderhold
of the University of Georgia in-
forming him that the letter was
in the mail.

"Today ninety percent of the
Agnes Scott faculty signed a
statement associating themselves
in sympathy and comradeship with
the faculty of the University of
Georgia during these days of con-
cern and stress about education in
our state. I heartily concur in
what our faculty has done. State-
ment, follows by mail."

The letter, dated January 16,
1961, stated that:
"We, the undersigned members

of the faculty of Agnes Scott Col
lege take this occasion to associate
ourselves in sympathy and com-
radeship with the faculty of the
University of Georgia.

"We realize that there are those
outside the academic world who
by methods of terrorism and
violence would accomplish their
own ends at the expense of edu-
cational institutions. Neverthe-
less, we share with you the con-
viction that in favorable times and

"What is the sense of art if no

Paula, going on to explain that
she "is, attempting to relate forms
to thai which is universal in man."
For example, two horses that
she has done in stoneware are
an effort to convey "the essence
of strength."

eral anatomy of horses from her
experiences in teaching horseback

Seniors Sell Faculty Down The
Slaves Sacrifice Dignify For Charity

By INA JONES

"Going once . . . Going twice . . . SOLD!" Several members of our illustrious faculty
and student body heard this famous count-down in fear and trembling at the slave sale.
They sacrificed their freedom, their dignity, and their authority for the cause of charity.

Miss Kate McKemie even
agreed not to say a word all day
and roamed the campus in a little
girl outfit.

Perhaps you saw her and her
twin picking up cigarettes from
the floor of the Hub.

The bidding for Miss Mc-
Kemie and Miss Kay Manuel
(seniors never split up families)
went high.

Before the actual auctioning of
these two, they proved their
abilities: Miss McKemie by
standing on her head, Miss Man-
uel by demonstrating the perfect
swan dive.

Sound difficult? It was espe-
cially since both performed their
feats of magic on the auction
table in the Hub!

Mr. Leonard Doerpinghaus
looked quite a sight on the day
of his captivity. Even Old Dog
Tray wouldn't claim him.

Together he and Miss Sarah
Ripy (who, too, would have made
even the most liberal-minded won-
der) skipped around the dining
hall making strange noises and
gestures.

It was a great day for all math
and biology majors!

Several students also know
from experience the joys of
freedom.

Molly Schwab, who is now the
proud wearer of three badges,
pledged her allegiance to Frances
Anderson.

Sue Aspinall and Andrea Lanier
were made to do several manual

chores, i.e., wash clothes, carry
trays, etc., for their task-masters.
The faculty enjoyed the serv-
ices of Sue who served their
coffee in the faculty dining
room, and the students enjoyed
dinner music in the rendition of
"Dixie" by Andrea.
Nickels and dimes fell by the
hundreds into the box and Nancy
Stone's voice loomed across the
Hub (cleverly disguised as an auc-
tion booth).

Christian Association tried to
cut-bid Athletic Association,
seniors outbidding freshmen and
one or two rich independents.

As a result, there are those left
with empty pockets and aching
sides and those left with some-
thing they can never live down.

heavy greys "a variation on the
theme of teamness.

"The use of harness in organiz-
ing the horses gave me an oppor-
tunity to work out a relationship
in line that gives them a whole-
ness."

Aside from such practical
tasks as constructing and paint-
ing the stands on which her
work is to be displayed, Paula
had the problem of cutting
apart this particular piece in
order to fire it.

Paula has applied to the art
schools of Tulane and Clairmont
in California where she plans to
do graduate study in sculpture.

Photographs of her work sent
to world renowned sculptor Hen-
ry More yielded a letter of com-
mendation on her achievement and
that of her instructors.

"Sorry it took so long to
write . . . but here I am/' the
eminent artist announced his
letter.

Mr. More accepts about four
apprentices for a three-year period
to give him technical assistance.

The interest which he has ex-
pressed in Paula's work will lead,
she hopes, to an opportunity to
work with him after the comple-
tion of her graduate study.

Miss Kate McKemie, slave of senior Alice Boykin, is shown in
the Hub Friday trying to entertain the Junior Jaunt snow-man.
Among other things, Miss McKemie assisted Social Council in
keeping the Hub clean.

Dolphin Club To Present 'Alice'
With Cards, Queen, Cat, Hatter

By LELIA JONES

Climaxing this year's work of the Dolphin Club will be
the presentation of their annual water pageant on February
2 and 3. "Alice in Wonderland," the theme of the pageant,
is the culmination of four months' work by each of the 35
members and their advisor Miss Kay Manuel.

Ranging from the quiet repre-'
sentation of Alice dreaming, which
features Josie Roden ,to the antics
of the white rabbits dressed in
white tights and suits, the pro-
gram promises to be full of enter-
taining characterizations.

Throughout the show many dif-
ferent moods wil be described in
the movements of the swimmers.

Solo

Kacki Chambers, the president
of the club, will portray the stern,
severe Queen of Hearts.

The violent Mad Hatter will be
contrasted by a number in which
several members, disguised as
cards, will form various patterns in
the water.

Comedy will enter with Sissy
Baumgardner and Sue Grey, the
vice-president and secretary-trea-
surer respectively, who will inter-
pret the characters Tweedle Dee
and Tweedle Dum, while an eerie
atmosphere will be provided by
the Cheshire Cat.

Flowers Scene

Showing another facet of their
talent will be four Mortar Board
members, who will depict the
flowers in a garden.

Against a backdrop of Wonder-
land the performance will open
on Thursday, Feb. 2, at 7:30 p.m.

On Friday the show, which will
be presented at 7:30 p.m., again at
8:45 p.m., will be reserved for
sophomores and their parents.

The next tryouts for Dolphin
Club will be during spring quarter.
The requirements are an interest
in synchronized swimming and a
basic ability to perform.

Committee Offers Plan
To Alter Exec Election

A committee under the direc-
tion of Doris Sanders has been
formed to investigate the problem
of electing junior Executive Com-
mittee members. Members of the
committee include Mary Ann
Lusk, Nancy Barrett, Betsy Boat-
wright, Nancy Rose, Ina Jones and
Lynn Denton.

"This is a problem which must
be discussed and worked out to-
gether," stated Sarah Helen High,
student body president.

Presently, five junior representa-
tives to Exec are nominated and
elected by the sophomore class
and serve as' cottage presidents.
Two (secretary and treasurer
of the student body) are elected
by the whole student body and
also serve as cottage presidents.
The new plan under considera-
tion would involve the election of
five junior exec members by the
junior class with nominations by
the nominating committee and by
the student body.

Secretary and treasurer would
be nominated and elected by the
student body as before.

The proposal would in no way
alter direct junior representa-
tion on Exec.
Students would file room re-
quests for the cottages just as is
now done for the dormitories.

They would be assigned cottages
by their requests and by the size
of their group.

After election, the five j-jnior
executive members, secretary
and treasurer of student govern-
ment and Miss Scandrett would
decide in what cottage these
representatives were to live.
The new plan would put empha-
sis on the selection of junior exec
representatives rather than where
juniors will live but would still
enable each member of the class
to live with the group she wants
to.

O Conner, Alumna's Play
To Highlight Arts Festival

"For our Arts' Festival we are
placing the emphasis upon creative
and critical work by the Agnes
Scott community, "smiled Betty
Bellune, student coordinating chair-
man, as she spoke of the 1961 Arts'
Festival to be held April 14-22.

Working with Betty will be Miss
Llewellyn Wilburn, faculty coordi-
nating chairman.

The first Arts' Festival was held
in 1958.

Besides the Agnes Scott com-
munity, many eastern and southern
colleges were invited to partici-
pate. This year the festival will be
devoted only to the A. S. C. stu-
dent body.

Alternating every other year
with the Arts' Festival is the pro-
duction of May Day which is simi-
lar to the Arts' Festival, being
a production including drama,
dance and art.

Emphasis Days

During this year's festival, two
days of emphasis will be placed on
each of the three arts.

Beginning on April 14 with em-
phasis on drama will be the world
premier of "Uncle Sam's Cabin"
a comedy by alumna Pat Hale,
currently associated with the Bar-
tar Theater in Abington, Virginia.

Plans are also being made for a
lecture to be presented by a drama
critic and a panel of professional
actors.

Visual Arts

Visual Art will receive special
emphasis Apr. 16-17.

An exhibit of student work will
open on Sunday, Apr. 16. The ex-
hibit will be on display throughout
the festival.

There will be an art lecture,

To explain fully the real mean-
ing of 1961 Arts' Festival, Betty
said in conclusion. "We feel that
this year, particularly, there is
such a great amount of creative
talent on campus supplemented by
a keen interest in the creative
arts too.

"This is an opportunity to re-
cognize our student artists and to
present their works at a time for
participation by each member of
the campus community, non-
artists and artists alike."

Pelletier To Speak Tonight
On Future Of Republicans

Lawrence Lee Pelletier, Uni-
versity Center Visiting Scholar in
Political Science, will speak at 8
p.m. in Maclean Auditorium on
"The Future of the Republican
Party."

Dr. Pelletier, president of Alle-
gheny College in Meadsville, Penn-
sylvania, graduated from Bowdoin
College, where he taught govern-
ment after earning his M. A. and
Ph. D. at Harvard.

Not only has Dr. Pelletier
taught government, but he has
been an active participant at both
state and local levels.

In 1945-46 he held a Social
Science Research Fellowship for
work on local government and fi-
nance.

As a consultant to the Maine
Municipal Association in 1948
he wrote a report on "Financing
Local Government."

In the same year he prepared a
legislative report on highway
needs for the Maine State High-
way Commission and in 1950 was
a member of Maine's tax study
committee, which modernized the
state's tax structure.

During 1953-54 he was Associ-
ate Director of the Citizenship
Clearing House of New York Uni-
versity Law Center.

In 1954-55 he participated in
a survey of liberal adult educa-

Juniors, Sophomores Lead
Junior Jaunt Charity Drive

Junior Jaunt is over for another
year, but the campus should be
"well-pleased", according to Bebe
Walker, finance chairman, with
the total amount raised for charity.

The overall figure is estimated at
$1100, excluding expenses.

In total amounts raised by each
class, the Juniors placed first, the
Sophomores came in second, the
Seniors were third and the Fresh-
men fourth.

In the percentage given per stu-
dent per class, Bebe said that the
Juniors were again first, the Sen-
iors second, the Sophomores third
and the Freshman fourth.

No report is yet available of
which charities have been selected
by the student body, since votes
have not been counted.

In the Junior Jaunt skit pro-
ductions, the Sophomores won the
over-all honors, while the Juniors
won the best acting category for
the parts played by Molly Dotson
and Jo Allison Smith.

The Freshman were first in
spirit, and the Seniors were said
to have "done the most in the least
amount of time".

Two Boards Show Prowess;
A.A. Challenges C.A. To Duel

By INA JONES

Perhaps the student body needs a little background on the
basketball game played between Christian Association and
Athletic Association last night in the gym.

This year at retreat, C.A

challenged A.A. to a tug-of-war,
We A.A. board
members were
quite amused at
the audacity of
C.A. to even con-
sider compet-
ing with us
campus athletes
(with the excep-
tion of Nancy
Gheesling) .

After all, there is a big differ-
ence between A.A. and C.A. It's
our duty to be strong and skillful
while theirs is . . . well we just
thought our interests were too
different.

Anyway, they named the

place and date. The battle was

long and bloody.
As the smoke cleared, gales of
laughter went up from the stands
as C.A. walked off the field
victorious and left the A.A. Ath-
letes to bear the ridicule of the
mob.

At our request they returned to
vie with us again and again, and
each time C.A. won.

We tried every method and
technique known and even had
coaching lessons from our rivals.

Glamour Personified

Who?

No use.

So, you see, A.A. had to cast
down the glove before C.A. in
order to uphold its honor.

As I write this article now, I
do not know to whom the cham-
pionship went last night.

If you know, and it happened
to be Christian Association, do me
a favor and just keep it real quiet!

Steimle To Emphasize 'Christian Life
Through Talks, Discussions, Services

SteimleTo Fulfill Invitation
Of Three Years Standing

By MILDRED LOVE

The Reverend Edmund A. Steimle, Religious Emphasis
Week speaker, is no stranger to the Agnes Scott College
campus. In 1958, he conducted Religious Emphasis Week, and
he returned to the campus to speak in convocation and to
hold a Sophomore Fireside Chat during the winter quarter
of 1959. Actually, the campus community has known of Dr.
Steimle's 1961 visit for two years since he was requested to
return shortly after he left in 1958.

Born in Allentown, Pennsylva-
nia, Dr. Steimle received his A.B.
degree from Princeton University
and earned his M.A. from the
University of Pennsylvania. He
earned his B. D. degree at the
Lutheran Theological Seminary.
Three other colleges have con-
ferred degrees upon him: Wag-
ner College, D.D.; Muhlenberg
College, Litt.D ; and Roanoke

College, LL.D.

Having been a teaching fellow
at the Lutheran Theological Semi-
nary for two years, Dr. Steimle
went to the Lutheran Church of
Our Saviour in Jersey City in 1935
and on to the University Lutheran
Church, Cambridge, Massachu-
setts, in 1940.

In the latter position, he was
pastor for Lutheran students of
the Boston area including Har-
vard, M.I.T., Wellesley, and Rad-
cliffe.

Since 1952, Dr. Steimle has
been Professor of Practical The-
ology at the Lutheran Theologi-
cal Seminary in Philadelphia.
He is now Brown Professor of
Homiletics Elect at Union The-
ological Seminary in New York.
For the past three summers, Dr.

Steimle has been on the NBC Art

of Living program. This coming

summer he will be on their na-
tional Radio Pulpit.

For the past six years, Dr.

Steimle has spoken on the United

Lutheran Series of 'the Protestant

Hour.

In addition to articles in re-
ligious publications, Dr. Steimle
has compiled a volume of sermons,
Are You Looking for God?.

Frost Adds
Of Peril of

On his recent visit to Agnes
Scott College, Robert Frost added
another piece to the library's col-
lection of his poems. This poem,
called "Peril of Hope," is not yet
a finished work and can not be
found in any of his published
books.

The copy in the library is in the
poet's own handwriting and was
taken from one of Mr. Frost's
notebooks.

When Robert Frost gave the
poem to Mrs. Edna Byers, libra-
rian, he remarked that a similar
piece of paper had recently been
sold at an auction in Chicago for
$1,100.

The poem as it now reads:

PERIL OF HOPE

It is right in there
Betwixt and between
The orchard bare
And the orchard green.

Comes a coming out

Of a flowery promise

You hate to doubt

Like a doubting Thomas. *

But ifs overdone
It acts possessed
By pan for one
By bees the rest.

And there's not a clime
But at any cost
May take that time
For a night of Frost.

Third World War

President John Kennedy at this point has not uttered a
single bombast on America's future. He has been downright
agnostic, though he has tempered it with optimism and hope.

Domestically, as Harriet Smith's "Nationally Speaking"
points out, we are not in top condition.

From the international viewpoint, we are in an even more
doubtful position. That we are in a conflict of overwhelming
proportions with the U.S.S.R., et al, can not rationally be
doubted.

While it may be more comforting to
minimize the struggle, it is also self-de-
luding to the point of being deathly.

An article in the current Reader's Digest
exposes America's international condition
by saying that we are now in a third world
war. The author quotes Khrushchev's state-
ment that Russia is much less interested in
traditional warfare than in the slower but
more effective struggle for minds.

Americans understand physical combat, the author says,
but we do not really conceive of the other, more subtle
variety.

A case in point is Castro.

Two years ago he was a redeemer, a hero for freedom, a
patriot who measured well by America's standards.

This summer Edward Tomlinson, author and commenta-
tor who is recognized as .an outstanding authority on Latin
African affairs, told us that he had been literally hooted
two years ago when he suggested that Castro was a Com-
munist.

"It's a rather grim pleasure to be able to say 'I told you
so,' 99 he said.

Americans can be duped. It is obvious that the Communists
are past masters in camouflaging their ideology.

They have turned their propaganda into America's chief
consumption product more than once.

Can we fight if we do not recognize the enemy, if we
are not sure there is an enemy?

Self-preservation and the obligation of freedom command
our militant attention.

We do not have to join the women's armed services to play
our role in what is now the community of the world.

But we must arm ourselves with knowledge. E.T.

Courage To Be For

The syndicated cartoonist Mort Walker spoke analogously to us in
his burlesque satire of army life of this past Sunday. The dialogue
went something like this:

Rocky, why don't you get a haircut?

Because the world bugs me, Daddy O I mean, it's a drag man.
The bomb's a bomb and conformity's not for us cats! You dig me? I
mean, coffee is grey-flannel . . . expresso is the most! Sneakers are in,
Charlie! And sweaters are in orbit! This is my way of protesting,
Max . . . and verily I do protest!

Gosh, if you have any gripes, why don't you talk to the Inspector
General? He comes here every month just to listen to all the protests
the men have.

You mean I've been going around looking like
a bum, talking like a nut, and drinking bitter coffee
all this time for nothing?

This is not to imply that the News is or should
become merely a "gripe sheet." We feel, however,
that it is of utmost importance that channels of
communication remain open that honest criti-
cism be aired and dealt with rather than stifled.

i Neither can we remain silent as personal labels
are pasted on one who chooses to voice dissent.

Suffice it to say that we all have been aroused from the lethargy
of habit. Any criticism of the atmosphere in which we find ourselves
here should be accepted with its inherent value clearly understood,
i.e., that the unexamined lift is not worth living.

Some of the opinions that were expressed in the "Campus Beat"
guest column found unspoken assent from the more reticent mem-
bers of that mystical body, "the campus community." Much of the
candor of the language used and most of the precise objections raised
found violent disagreement and harsh, branding criticism from other
quite sincere students.

In spite of th? criticism or perhaps because of we are re-
minded of the central idea of Dr. Pepperdene's Investiture speech,
"the courage to be for."

This is the type of vital commitment which requires a personal
surrender to the ridicule of the uncommitted as well as the aware-
ness of humiliation in "those eyes that fix you in a formulated phrase."

The non-conformist's attitude as seen in the cartoon finds expres-
sion in symbolic defiance if there is not an opportunity provided for
objective discussion.

If we can hear criticism strip it of its rationalizations and pro-
jections, and then come up with rational, mature, irrefutable answers
then ours is a working conviction.

The principle is not that we knew "what we were getting into"
when we chose Scott. A vital commitment is one which must be con-
stantly opened and probed, subjected to examination, lest it fester
and infect the whole body. L.B.S.

Freshman McCurdy Sees Certain
'Freedom' In Rules, Honor System

By JEAN McCURDY
Guest Columnist

After last week's Agnes Scott News came out, a number of freshmen began discussing
our ideas about Agnes Scott and her ideals, standards and rules. What did we expect of an
Honor System? Were we disappointed in what we found it to be at Agnes Scott? Do we
feel that many of the rules are absurd for girls of our breeding and intellect?

We came to the conclusion that

.Agnes Scott had not disappointed
us in her honor system; but
rather, that we were indeed "free
to live in truth and honor."

We all agreed that an honor
system with no standards and
regulations upon which to be
based would not be effective.
As for rules, we all knew
about the apartment policy, the
drinking policy, and all of the
basic rules of the college be-
fore we came.

We feel that we have come to
an especially fine and unique col-
lege; and we must remember in
comparing it with other women's
schools that its aim is not neces-
sarily the same as, or even simi-
lar to that of another college.
Certainly the administrative,
faculty, and student organiza-
tions that make and revise the
rules understand Agnes Scotfs
aim and function in the com-
munity much better than we
freshmen who still have much
to learn about college life.
We do think that there are
some rules which are unneces-
sary; but we do not feel insulted
by their existence.

We saw evidence of the college's
readiness to keep up with student
needs in the permission v recently
granted allowing smoking with
dates in the Rebekah date par-
lors and the addition of a study
smoker.

And any upperclassman can
tell us how much more lenient
the freshmen rules have been
this year than ever before. To
me, this is evidence of the col-
lege's desire and ability to keep
up with the times rather than
of the increasing maturity of
each freshman class.
Finally, we feel that the longer
we stay here at Agnes Scott, the
more we will love the college and
feel a part of her spirit and
standards which may still seem
a bit strange to us.

And the better we understand
the ideals behind all the rules, the
better we will be able to deter-
mine which rules should be
changed and how.

Nationally Speaking

Economy Hits Low Level,
Kennedy Offers New Plan

By HARRIET SMITH

A curious malady is plaguing the U. S. economy today.
National production is at an all-time high, yet the number
one domestic problem facing the new administration is a
steady increase in unemployment.

About half of the 5.7 million un-
employed people live in six states.
Older men, 45
and over, are
more numerous
among the un-
employed than
young men.

Some 15 mil-
lion Americans
live in almost a
hundred areas
officially classed as "depressed."
The answer to this phenome-
non is expressed by most econ-
omists in one word: machines.
Every day a new machine takes
over the work once done by
men.

For example, 60 per cent more
automobiles are produced today
with no more workers than in
1947.

Twelve men in a modern steel
mill produce a ton of steel in an
hour; it took 20 men to do the
same job in 1941.

Men in heavy industry are
not the only victims of new
machinery.

Electronic computers and cal-
culating devices are at work
handling payrolls, reading sales
slips, keeping inventory, process-
ing insurance claims, sorting bank
checks, sending out bills and
writing receipts.

Meanwhile, the line outside un-
employment offices is growing and
will continue to grow unless some
way is found to create new jobs
requiring the labor of men.

Of course, the immediate
problem is relief for the "de-
pressed areas." Surplus food
commodities are warding off
starvation, but men can accept
aid only so long without sacri-
ficing their pride.
In the long run, the problem
must be attacked at its roots.
Thus far, the Kennedy administra-
tion has proposed four possible
solutions:

(1) Give fast tax write-offs to
fiims building in depressed areas,

(2) Lend local governments
money to build plants and facili-
ties for new industry,

(3) Provide Federal funds for
vocational training, and

(4) Create a youth conservation
corps.

Actually, the problem is not
peculiar to our age. The industrial
revolution is constantly overtaking
man and forcing him to seek new
horizons.

Gallery To Feature Probst Art;
Paintings To Broaden RE Week

A number of the paintings of Joachim Probst will be on
display in the third floor Buttrick gallery beginning Monday
evening, Feb. 13, as part of R. E. week. The works will be
on display daily from 2-5 p.m. until Feb. 24.

Joachim Probst, 47 year old

American, has painted in New
York during the last twenty
>ears. His painting is highly sub-
jective and imaginative.

Probst is a self-taught artist
in that he has not studied in any
institution; however, he is influ-
enced by the style of Rembrandt.
In Paris, in 1957, Andre Mai-
raux spent two hours with ten
of Probst's painting, and said
that he is possibly the greatest
American painter of our time.
Probst has been called a "mys-
tic expressionist" an "abstract
expressionist" whose subject mat-
ter is the "soul of tragic man-
kind." Bennet Schiff of the New

One Out of Ten'
It Could Be You

By LELIA JONES

"One out of every ten of you will be mentally ill . . ." This
statement was made by one of the speakers at a recent ath-
letic convention attended by several A. A. members

This means that between sixty

and seventy students at Scott
will be mentally sick sometimes
during their lives. Not a pleasant
thought.

The solution
that the speak-
er gave? Recre-
ation.

At Scott I be-
lieve this could
be narrowed
down to physical
recreation.

By physical recreation I mean
anything that involves a good
anatomical workout and is en-
joyable enough to take one's
mind far away from thoughts of
coming tests, papers due, dead-
lines of one kind or another to
meet.

For different individuals the
need can be fulfilled in various
forms a team sport, swimming,
ice-skating, bicycling, or just
plain walking.

It doesn't make any difference
what it is.

Anything that can momen-
tarily lift a person above the
daily pressures, academic or
otherwise.

A person who develops the
habit of getting a reasonable
amount of physical exercise in
college will tend to make it a
part of her life after graduation.

Needless to say, there are
immeasurable rewards, both pres
ent and future.

At Scott everyone's exposed
to and can easily take advan-
tage of the many facilities
offered. The swimming pool is
open daily. Bicycles are gen-
erally available. The tennis
courts are very seldom full. The
area around Scott is ideal for
walking.

For those who say they don't
have time take time. Don't be
the one out of every ten.

Spanish Club Plans
Pan-Am Gathering

Agnes Scott College will be host
to a meeting of the Circulo His-
pano-Americano on Wednesday,
Feb. 22, at 7:45 p.m. in Walters

Americans of Atlanta, including
faculty from the Agnes Scott
Spanish Department, meets once a

strate the African influence on
Spanish poetry. Hilda Herzog, ASC

trastes."

tend the University of Indiana next
year to complete her doctorate in
folk lore.

Parents Swarm Campus
For Sophomore Weekend

By CAROLE JACKSON

Flooding the campus last weekend, visitors came from
near and far to participate in the third annual Sophomore
Parents Weekend. Entire families travelled through snow
and ice to enjoy the special activities. Many were seeing
Agnes Scott for the first time.

After registration in Walters,
parents toured the campus, at-
tended classes, and met faculty
and administration members.

Walters and Hopkins dormi-
tories were open for visitors.
Fathers and brothers roamed
the halls, sometimes to the con-
sternation of seniors not com-
pletely dressed. "Is the coast
clear?" was the cry often heard.
A full slate of activities was
planned for the parents. Friday
night Dolphin Club presented a
colorful water pageant, "Alice in
Wonderland. '

ASC Campaign Moves To Atlanta

Trustees Ask 1 700 Guests
To Hear Sibley At Dinner

Ellen Hines and Ethel Gilmore are shown with the newest friend
of the college, 'Modig/

'Modig' Becomes
Campus Favorite

"She's like a work of art a few may own her, but she
belongs to everybody," said Ethel Gilmore, co-adopter of a
black mongrel who befriended the campus early last week.
"Modig/' short for Modigliana, was traced through vaccina-
tion tags to her former owners, who said they "gave her
away,"

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Agnes Scott College's "vision of greatness" is well on its way toward becoming an actu-
ality as the campaign for the Atlanta areas get under way. A dinner to be held at the.
Dinkier Plaza Hotel on February 28 will launch the active phase of the campaign which
lasts over a four-week period. Behind-the-scene preparations for the full enactment of
the campaign plans are in the hands of three different committees working over the past
several weeks.

A General Organization Com-
mittee composed of two hundred
alumnae in this area under the
chairmanship of Mrs. Joseph Read
met yesterday at the Piedmont
Driving Club for a luncheon and
work session connected with the
campaign.

After the area dinner these

She wandered on campus early
last week, jingling her tags at
each friendly pat on the head.
Ethel, Mary Ellen Barnes, Ellen
Hines and Nancy Stone adopted
her.

They bought two week's supply
of "real meat" dog food, a double
dish for feeding and drinking, and
a wicker sleeping basket for the
puppy who kept following them
around.

"We were debating whether
or not to get her the basket, but
she just climbed in and didn't
want to get out, so we got that
too," Ellen Hines said.
They also bought a collar and
a woven green plastic leash.

Until Friday, Modig lived in a
Hub alcove, going outside to chase
pigeons and chew sticks, return-
ing to greet her friends with a
nuzzle after classes.

Friday she disappeared. Ellen
and Ethel called the local pound
and left a description. "I don't
want her left there," Ethel told
the official, who said the truck
didn't come in until 6 p.m.
They requested that he call if
Modig has been abducted.
Saturday she reappeared.

"I couldn't really find out
anything," Janice Henry report-
ed last Thursday. As chairman
of the Hub Committee, she had
been requested to investigate
Modig's presence on campus.
A member of the Dean's staff
told the News that a regulation
prohibited pets in dormitories.
"This includes the Hub," she said.
A review of the Student Hand-
book did not produce the regula-
tion.

The supervisor of dormitories
could not be reached by press
time.

Modig's basket and dishes had
disappeared Sunday, though she
was still seen wandering on camp-
us.

Whether Modig will still be
holding out her white-tipped

paws to her friends today is un-
certain.

Tradition reports that former
friends of the campus have been
abruptly removed on request to
the Decatur dog-catcher.

Williams of Cornell
To Address Chapel

Dr. Robin Williams, head of the
Department of Anthropology and
Sociology at Cornell University
will speak in chapel Friday on
"Some Major Social Changes in
American Society."

Dr. Williams is visiting Agnes
Scott College as Visiting Scholar
for the University Center. While
here, he will lead a seminar and a
faculty discussion in addition to his
talk in chapel.

All students are invited to hear
Dr. Williams on Friday when he
will hold a seminar on "What
Social Science Has Learned About
Student Values and Attitudes" in
the Faculty Conference Room at 4
p.m. He will address the faculty at
dinner on Thursday.

Distinguished Alumna
Speaks In Cnnvncatiun

Miss Eleanor Hutchens, '40,
president of the Agnes Scott
Alumnae Association and speaker
for Founder's Day convocation, is
called one of Agnes Scott's most
distinguished alumna by Miss
Ann Worthy Johnson, director of
Alumnae Affairs.

An English and Greek major at
Agnes Scott, Miss Hutchens was
elected to Mortar Board and to
"Who's Who in American Colleges
and Universities," and served as
first Editor-in-Chief of the newly
named Agnes Scott News.

Prior to her editorship, the pa-
per was named The Agonistic. Miss
Hutchens was a leader in the
campaign to change the name, as
the newspaper was too often
spelled "Agnostic."

Journalism Career

The year after her graduation
Miss Hutchens was asked to re-
turn as Director of Publicity for
the college. In 1942, in addition to
her post here, she served as News
Editor of the DeKalb New Era,
the Decatur newspaper.

She returned to her home town,
Huntsville, Alabama, in 1944 to
serve as City Editor of the Hunts-
ville Times, and after Christmas
of that year attended the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania to complete
her Master's Degree in English.

In 1948 Miss Hutchens returned
to ASC and filled both positions
of Director of, Alumnae Affairs
and Director of Publicity.

Academic Degrees

Her summer of 1950 was spent
in study at Oxford University,
England, and in the '54-'55 aca-
demic year, she resigned from
ASC to receive her Ph.D. in Eng-
lish at the University of Pennsyl-
vania in 1957.

Since receiving her doctorate,
Miss Hutchens has been a member
of the faculty at the University of
Alabama Center in Huntsville.

will begin their

women
work.

A Special Gift Committee head-
ed by Mr. C. E. Thwaite, Jr., a
trustee of the college, will be
especially concerned with the
friends and parents of students
from Atlanta.

Committees

This committee is composed of
40 business leaders who have an
active interest in the future of the
college.

A third working group is the
Business and Industry Committee
under co-chairmen, Mr. L M.
Sheffield, Jr., and Mr. Paul Man-
ners.

Seventeen hundred Atlanta area
guests have been invited to the
Dinkier dinner by the Board of
Trustees.

Dinner

Approximately 700 Atlanta
alumnae and friends are expected
to attend, the largest group yet
gathered together in the course
of the over-all campaign.

Presiding over the dinner as
Toastmaster will be Mr. Hal L.
Smith, Chairman of the Board of
Trustees and National Chairman
of the Seventy-fifth Anniversary
Development Program.

The focal point of the dinner

active ( program 'is the address to be de-
livered by Mr. John A. Sibley, a
long-time Board member of the
college and Honorary National Co-
Ch airman of the Development Pro-
gram.

Sibley Address

Mr. Sibley, esteemed by many
as Georgia's First Citizen, is a
prominent Atlanta attorney and
banker and is presently Chair-
man of the Executive Committee
of the Trust Company of Georgia.

His topic for discussion will be
an interpretation of the college's
role in higher education.

In the words of Mr. French, the
organizer of this Development
Program, the dinner is a social
event "to set the climate" for the
campaign.

As a part of the program the
Agnes Scott Glee Club will sing
two selections, and 125 students
will be on hand to act as hostesses
and ushers.

One or two girls will sit at each
table to answer questions and to
acquaint the guests.

This Atlanta campaign is the
twenty-third out of 46 intended
area campaigns. With the total
contributions approaching $2,400,-
000, the half-way mark has been
exceeded for the goal of $4,500,000.

Painter Probst Will Visit;
C. A. Continues Exhibition

Joachim Probst, whose paintings are now being exhibited
here in connection with Religious Emphasis Week, has an-
nounced in a recent letter to Ninai Marable that he will visit
Agnes Scott some time this week.

The letter itself reflected the
strength of his paintings.

It was written in broad magic-
marker^ strokes on a design formed
by the letters of his last name
in red.

The exhibit by the 47-year-old
American artist has been the
cause of vigorous exclamations by
students, faculty members and
visitors to the campus.

Many viewers of the paintings
lowered their voices to whispers
as they saw the Red Cloud Christ
and the Bull Christ executed by
this man who refers to himself as
"condemned."

His dynamic work aroused such
comments as "He is the most
courageous artist of our time. He
faces life and death with a com-
pelling interpretation of Christ."

One faculty member has sug-
gested that a guard be appointed
to the third floor Buttrick gallery
because, "These paintings will be
worth millions of dollars some-
day."

One of his works which sold for
$10 is now insured for $50,000.

Conference Draws
4 Schools Saturday

On Saturday, February 25,
Agnes Scott College will be host to
the Undergraduate Philosophy Con-
ference. Four schools, Davidson
College, The University of the
South, Emory Universiy and ASC,

eral topic of discussion is Marxism.

Peggy McGeachy is writing a
paper on Marx's theory of truth.

the conference for four years this
will be only the second paper.

There will be a morning session
at 9:30 during which two of the
papers will be read and discussed.
In the afternoon session, beginning
at 2 p.m., the remaining two papers
will be presented for discussion.

The evening discussion is stu-
dent-led. Beginning at 7:30, these
sessions are open to the public,
and all interested persons are in-
vited to attend.

Campus Comedy

The campus comedy culminating in elections is beginning.
More and more people are getting in the first act, which is
being friendly and getting to know people.

Juniors and sophomores become quiet in conversation be-
yond bridge chatter for fear of offending someone. One gets
the feeling that an invisible tightrope is
being hoisted above the campus and that the
sophomores and juniors who walk it fear
plunges on either side.

Rightly we do not subscribe to cam-
paigns. They are expensive and distasteful,
overwrought with promises and full of poor
products.

On the other hand, being willing to serve
is not the antonym of politicking.

In interpreting willingness to serve as keeping out of it, we
blanket the whole election proceedings in a consciously
assumed lack of awareness.

Nominees avoid the lists of nominations like the plague.
The mailroom bulletin board is visited only at odd hours.

Candidates look blank when their organizations are men-
tioned, and occasionally squirm if it's mentioned they're "up"
for an office.

Even an allusion to the fact is agonizing.

And if someone who doesn't know better asks if they have
any ideas for the organization, they either change the sub-
ject, mention some platitude about following in Mary's tra-
dition, or courageously confess that they have a few but
they're really not very good.

Friends even are afraid to mention some norriirjee's quali-
fications in fear of being labeled a politicker.

By the time election week is done, those who have taken
the test of nerves without scratching are possessed with at
least a high degree of stamina.

This silence, the assumed unawareness, is unhealthy. We
do not urge "running." But we feel that students should
question nominees without misgivings and that nominees
should respond freely and frankly. E.T.

Cost Of Commitment

Let's not involve ourselves . . . better still, let's not commit our-
selves ... it hurts and it costs something.

Let's stay wrapped up in the theological considerations of an R. E.
Week . . . we need not concern ourselves with the practical aspects
of it all . . . "the paradox in living like a Christian."

We must keep on worrying whether we're a member of the "in"
group or the "out" group ... or whether we're in with the ins . . .
We cannot let ourselves get down to the problem
of communication between people it requires
too much appreciation of individual differences, of
understanding and concern, of love . . .

Let's go on thinking that the college is gov-
erned by the administration, Mortar Board and
campus organizations . . . not stop to consider
that the reputation of the college and the degree
to which it effectively achieves its aims is the re-
sponsibility of each individual campus citizen
and we must keep on thinking of our relationship to the school as
"it" instead of "we."

It wouldn't do for us to get involved or committed ... it costs
too much . . . costs us our pettiness, our "busy, busy, busy" attitude,
our ftgmimg around in circles . . .

And above all, we need to keep worrying about the second piece of
lemon, the finely sliced avocado . . . the lock on the date parlor doors
. . . let's not stop to consider that maybe we are not going about
the business of education, maybe we're not developing spiritual poise,
a disinterested critical attitude.

Maybe we're just stewing around the edge of the college . . . spend-
ing too much valuable and irreplaceable time piddling with the
things that don't make a difference ultimately.

Perhaps it's a preoccupation with jobs after college, a compulsion
to get ahead on campus ... if we really bare ourselves, a desire for
a campus office or Mortar Board ... or the transfer spirit ... or
well, you know.

It boils down to an insecurity and preoccupation with self, an inner
restlessness ... a concern with what others will think ... a feeling
that we're not appreciated instead of a fearless conviction to give
ourselves to things we really believe in, a "courage to be." to involve
ourselves in and commit ourselves to the important things on campus,
within ourselves and in the world.

Involvement and commitment in anything means a sacrifice of
self-concern ... a growth in maturity . . . the ability to sift the im-
portant from the unimportant. It hurts our self esteem, it costs us
our pride and littleness.

Are we willing to make the sacrifice? N.B.

Talks 'More Probing,'
Says Steimle's Report

By LINDA LENTZ

A pooped Nina Marable (R. E.
Week Chairman) and a pleased
Nancy Batson (C. A. President)
were among others present at
Miss Mary L. Boney's house Friday
evening for an evaluation with
Dr. Edmund Steimle of Religious
Emphasis Week.

Dr. Steimle said that his visit
this year was every bit as enjoy-
able as his last one something
he had thought impossible.

He noted that the chapel atten-
dance was not quite as good as it
was the last time he was here, but
he thought the questions were
"more probing," and he was "less
satisfied with the answers he was
able to give."

He warned of the let down
which would inevitably follow
the week of intensified concern.

Christian Association Cabinet
felt that the campus was very re-
sponsive to Dr. Steimle and en-
thusiastic about the structure of
Religious Emphasis Week as a
whole.

Although Dr. Steimle was not
particularly impressed with chapel
attendance, it looked good to stu-
dents who could compare it with
attendance on other Tuesdays,
Thursdays, and Fridays.

Dean C. Benton Kline guessed
that attendance in chapel on
these days averaged about 350.
There was an enthusiastic re-
sponse to the evening Hub discus-
sions (around 150 attending) ancP
also to the discussions in the Hub
after chapel.

It was felt that these small dis-
cussion groups were particularly
valuable.

Dr. Steimle suggested that it
would be a good idea for the
R. E. Week speaker to go to the
Hub for a short time after each
meal and reserve the time after
chapel for additional personal
conferences.

He also recommended that the
time for each personal conference
be lengthened from 15 to 20 min-
utes.

Lumumba's Murder Echoes
From Congo To Floor of U. N.

the murder of one man could have repercussions which echo

Russia has seized upon the

Lower House Plans
Structure Changes

Proposed reorganization plans
for Lower House will be voted on
in student forum Thursday to go
into effect this spring quarter if

passed.

Lower House will become Joint
House Council. The chairman will
be elected in the same way. Repre-
sentatives will be elected as stated
in the student handbook. Tem-
porary representatives will be ap-
pointed until election can be held.

Present Lower House members
would be representatives to the
Joint House Council.

The Joint House Council would
consist of the separate Dorm House
Councils and representatives from
the day students.

The Dorm House Councils would
meet every other week separately
and every week collectively as the
Joint House Council.

The duties of the Dorm House
Council would be as follows:

1. To promote dorm harmony.

2. Through hall meetings to act
as a sounding board to bring sug-
gestions to both the Dorm and the
House Council meetings.

3. To have an understanding of
the Honor System and to serve as
interpreters of Student Govern-
ment policies to the students
among whom they live.

4. To supervise phone co-op,
coke co-op, and kitchen clean-up
plan.

Philip Cites Lack Of Room
In Date Parlor Deception

By VIRGINIA PHILIP

Agnes Scott girls arf becoming masters in the art of de-
ception. There's quite a knack to arranging your books to
look like two people's, one of them a male (it's easier if you
happen to use a slide rule or take a course at Emory).

It's an even higher accomplish-

This make A almost as angry
as girl C, whose books A finds
in another room and subse-
quently moves out.

Sometimes the boy gets in on
the act he and his date to-
gether set the stage, leave a note
saying, "Back in 10 minutes," and
drive away for dinner.

Or maybe he gets in on the
other end of the deal: They really
do go to the Hub for ten minutes,
then return to find they've been
dislodged.

We need more date parlors.
We have seen as many as six
couples studying in Rebekah Rec
Room, each afraid to talk for fear
of disturbing someone else, all
disturbed by the couple who self-
consciously begin to play ping-
pong.

If it is at all possible to con-
struct more date parlors in the
unused space in Rebekah, or to
partition off some of the larger
ones in Main, it would be money
well spent.

In such a case you'd better

A girl who has neither the skill

to wait alone for an hour or two
has little chance of securing a

away at the very heart of the
U. N.

Slowly but surely the Soviets
have st rived to
rule or wreck the
U. N.

Almost from
the beginning
they stifled the
effectiveness of
the Security
Council with end-
less vetoes; now
Khrushchev and his men are
moving to weaken other areas.
Soviet Tactics

One Soviet tactic is to strangle
the U. N. financially.

The United States poured 146.2
million dojlars into the U,.-N., com-
pared with 18.2 million for the
Soviets in 1960, and the Reds are
seeking to increase our burden.

Not only have Russia and her
satellites utterly refused to con-
tribute a penny to policing opera-
tions of the U. N., they have
actually been at work feeding sup-
plies to opposing forces.

Inside Domination

Meanwhile, Khrushchev has
launched a determined effort to
dominate the U. N. machinery,
demanding more' staff positions
for communists despite reports
that Soviet workers have proven
unreliable and subversive.

The most dangerous and au-
dacious Soviet policy has been a
bitter attack upon Secretary Gen-
eral of the U. N., Dag Hammars-
kjold, the aim being replacement
of Hammarskjold by a three-man
executive from the West, a neu-
tral country and the Soviet Union.

An excuse for attacking Ham-
marskjold was found in the Congo
crisis, and the Soviets have played
it to the hilt.

Hammarskjold

Now, with the murder of Lu-
mumba, Russia has completely
withdrawn recognition of Ham-
marskjold and branded him "an
accomplice and organizer" of Lu-
mumba's death.

The very floor of the organiza-
tion dedicated to world peace be-
came the scene of a violent Com-
munist demonstration on Febru-
ary 15 as rioters interrupted Ad-
lai Stevenson's defense of Ham-
merskold with the cries of "Ham-
marskjold murderer."

Undoubtedly the Communists
have made considerable headway
in turning the U. N. into a farce,
but there are factors working
against them also.

U. N. Threat
Khrushchev knows he must
either dominate or destroy the
organization; he can not just pull
out, for the U. N. could become an
alliance against him.

Moreover, Khrushchev's finan-
cial policy may backfire.

A. member nation may lose its
vote in the General Assembly if
it owes more than two year's dues,
and Soviet debts are piling up
rapidly.

Khrushchev may also be hurt by
the resentment of small nations
who depend upon the strength of
the U. N.

Their feeling is shared by the
Western world, for despite its
weaknesses, the U. N. has long
been the focus of hopes for peace.

Summer Jobs With Future
Require Early Application

By AMY ALEXANDER

Summer is approaching rapidly,
and it's certainly not too early to
begin thinking about summer job
opportunities, Miss lone Murphy of
the Vocation Guidance Center
warns.

Last summer, approximately 25
per cent of Agnes Scott students
held jobs, with the majority do-
ing either office or camp work.
Their salaries ranged anywhere
from $100 to $1,000 for a summer's
work.

A primary opportunity for sum-
mer employment lies in the field
of church work projects.

All Protestant denominations,
the World Council of Churches,
and Catholic and Jewish groups
sponsor such undertakings, which
are listed in the vocational office
in a booklet, "Invest Your Sum-
mer."

Social Work

Several institutions and com-
munities have set up service pro-
jects, too.

For example, students interest-
ed in psychology and mental
therapy are permitted to work in
the North Carolina State Hos-
pital under capable supervision.

Those considering social work
careers also have the chance to
be aii intern social worker for the

Upperclassmen usually find it
easier to get summer jobs; how-
ever, many underclassmen are
employed in various camps as
counselors and instructors, and in
resorts.

Directories listing such open-
ings are available in the voca-
tional office and camp work in-

ment.-

Students interested in civil
service can often find positions,
particularly in clerical and tech-
nical fields. The government gives
special exams for this type work.
Dates are available from Miss
Murphy.

Summer work can be a reward-
ing experience, Miss Murphy says.
Even if monetary gains are small,
there is always the satisfaction of
service performed and valuable
training gained.

Wilson Opens One-ManExhibit
Featuring Sculpture, Ceramics

Senior art major Paula Wilson opened the first one-man
show in Agnes Scott's history this week. Paula's exhibit will
appear in Buttrick Gallery for two weeks.

Centering on sculpture, the

show includes some of the figures
which led renowned artist Henry
Moore to accept Paula as his
apprentice year after next in Lon-
don.

Finding "a language in sculp-
ture she didn't even know she
could speak/' Paula has received
accolades from her instructor,
Mr. Robert Westervelt of the
art department.

Paula wants her art to "mean
something."

Among those who have pur-
chased her figures are Mr. and
Mrs. Ralph McGill, who have lent
them to Paula for the exhibit.
Included in the show are
horses which attracted students
to Paula's work three years ago.

Another favorite of gallery
audiences is the figure of a child
with cupped hands.

Characteristic of Paula's work
is strength with warmth of form.

"What is universal in man" is
her interest.

Ceramics and drawings fill out
the exhibit, which is staged by the
artist herself.

Self-Study Groups

Five sub-committees of the Ag-
nes Scott self -study program have

In cooperation with the South-
ern Association of Colleges and
Secondary Schools, the self-study
committees will gather both facts
and student and faculty opinions

ing where we are going," Dean

tion of five corporate trustees. Mr.
Gilmer is to serve as the cor-
porate trustee in the class of 1964.

Forum Will Ratify
SGA Proposals

By PAM STANLEY

The Student Government Association held Open Forum
in chapel Thursday and unanimously passed the proposed
plan of dissolving Lower House into a Joint House Council.
According to this plan, introduced in student meeting two
weeks ago, the council members from each dorm will meet
on alternate weeks as a separate House Council, with the
House President serving as chairman.

Two recommendations from the

Nominating Committee in regard
to forthcoming elections were pre-
sented for discussion.

The committee first proposed a
change in order of electing school
officers, according to the impor-
tance of the position.

Under the present system, the
order for election is: Presidents
of Boards, Judicial Chairman
and Vice-Presidents of Boards,
Editors, Managing Editors, Ori-
entation Chairman, Day Student
Chairman, House Presidents,
Lecture Committee President
and Vice President, and May
Day Chairman.

Under the new system, officers
would be elected in the following
order: Presidents of Boards, Judi-
cial Chairman, Editors, Orienta-
tion Chairman, Day Student Chair-
man, Vice Presidents of Boards,
House Presidents, Managing Edi-
tors, Lecture Committee President
and Vice President, and May Day
Chairman.

The election of Junior cottage

president would follow the elec-
tion of Junior board officers.
The second proposal was an
amendment to the recently
adopted plan of electing a Sec-
retary and Treasurer of Student
Government Association who
would also serve as cottage
presidents.

This amendment stated that if
either of these two officers elected
is a day student, the student re-
corder will serve as cottage presi-
dent. If both elected are day stu-
dents, additional cottage presi-
dents will be elected by the class.

The committee felt after dis-
cussion that to exclude an able
day student from serving in the
capacity of Secretary or Treas-
urer was neither thoughtful nor
fair if the student body indicat-
ed, by their votes, that they
wanted her to serve in one of
these positions.

Both proposals will be called to
vote at the next meeting.

and Mrs. J. Newton Thompson of
Augusta, Georgia.

An English major, she was an

honor roll student for the 1959-

1960 session.

As Chairman of Lower House,
Ann serves on the Executive Com-
mittee of Student Government As-
sociation.

During her sophomore year, she
was a member of Social Council
board; she was a freshman repre-
sentative to Lower House.

Ann has participated in arch-
ery tournaments and in annual
campus productions.

"She's the one she's just the
one .But then I'm prejudiced," said
her roommate Ann Hutchinson.

Mortar Board chooses its mem-
bers for service, scholarship and
leadership. Those who will serve
next year with Ann will be select-
ed Spring quarter.

Christian Association."

"As an artist flings color upon
the canvas, so have words been
flung upon the stage."

It is the purpose of the drama
students to give meaning and
form to their interpretations of
the play.

Those participating in the per-
formance are Mary Ellen Barnes,

tations and all six will be in the

On Wednesday night the panel
will be composed of Mrs. Richard
Hocking, Mr. Jenning Hertz and
Mrs. Allen Ferry, while Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel Santa Croce will con-
stitute Thursday's panel.

The play will be presented "in

Convocation Caucus

Behavior at convocation has gone beyond being merely
irritating; it is embarrassing and disgraceful.

If it continues in its present dimensions, w e could easily
do away with the Mail Room calendar of
(activities, the bulletin board and reminders
on 3x5 cards.

The noise and activity, the traipsing up
and down aisles look like the last caucus
of party factions before the convention
begins.

While students are totally responsible, the
hub-bub may yet permeate even the back
rows.

Regularity does not diminish the solemnity of convocation

It is always a time for worship.
Most often it is the occasion when some distinguished guest
of the college makes an address.

Perhaps if it were completely a family affair we would
be inclined to overlook the situation.

But there is no other name for our behavior before con-
vocation begins but RUDE, in capital letters.
We do not speak well for ourselves at home, and what
may be the impression abroad is painful to contemplate.

We advise quiet entry and a posture forward, eyes ahead,
mouth closed. If the outrageous behavior preceding Wednes-
day's service is not discontinued, we feel that a public
official reprimand is not only justified but also is necessary.

E. T.

Probst Probes

"I'm speechless!" said one dining hall employee. So were
we. In fact, most of the campus seemed agog over our visi-
tors last week. They arrived and left in the midst of thunder-
storms. While they were here, they created their own storm
of controversy.

For most of us it was our first experience of close contact
with real, live non-conformists.

Quite naturally, \t was a shock to see people whose lives
seem so completely different from our rather sedate existence.
Mr. Probst agreeably responded to inquiries concerning
his personal life and beliefs. He apparently enjoyed ex-
pounding his theories on art, religion and life in general.
His denial of social conventions and morals especially
struck a jarring note in the minds of his rapt listeners.

It was evident to all who heard Mr. Probst that he is in the
midst of a soul-searching process, trying to find out if life
has any meaning for him.

He made us do some soul-searching on our own pur-
poses of existence.
Some of our own smugness and self-complacency dis-
appeared.

In its place came doubts and questionings about convic-
tions that had never before been put on trial.

Paradoxically, doubting can strengthen our beliefs. In
excess it can destroy our faith in everything. Can our con-
victions stand the test? C.S.J.

Campus Shows Concern
Over Future Of 'Modig'

By BECKY VICK

Sad and concerned are the faces of Ellen Hines, Nancy
Stone, Ethel Gilmore and Mary Ellen Barnes, guardians of
"Modig," the new ASC mascot who arrived only three weeks
ago, now destined to leave,

From the story about the little
black dog "Mcdig," in last week's
paper, it was reported that former
friends of the campus have been
abruptly removed on request to
the Decatur dog-catcher.

A similar request has been made
by certain authorities who feel it
is cruel for the dog to be on a
college campus and that it is child-
ish for ASC students to want a dog
on the campus.

Also, complaints have been
made about "Modig's" snapping,
but one of her adoptees said,
"She doesn't really bite, she
only chews on people's fingers,
because she likes to play."

Before "Modig" was asked to
leave, her adoptees had planned to
take her to a veterinarian for a
"thorough cleaning."

Also, realizing that "Modig"
could not stay forever at ASC,
Sally Blomquist had planned to
take "Modig" to her home spring
holidays to stay for good.

Scotties who are worried
about "Modig's" welfare are
passing around a petition ask-
ing that the dog be allowed to
stay until spring holidays.

This petition was to have been
turned into the authorities last
Friday night.

"I can understand how it would
be unreasonable and maybe a bit
unkind to want to keep a dog
permanently in view of the dormi-
tory situation, etc., but I can't see
why two more weeks (that is, un-
til spring holidays) will do any
damage," said Ellen Hines, one of
the dog's guardians.

Ellen continued, "We want to
find an owner for her who can
get as much delight from "Mo"
as she is willing to give, and as
we have gotten from her."

It is said if anyone ever wants
to find "Mo," she should stand in
the middle of the quadrangle and
whistle and "Mo" will come
bounding up.

"I feel that "Modig" creates
in the Hub an atmosphere of
home which is much needed by
all Scott students," stated Kath-
ryn Mobley as she expressed
her concern for Modig's future.
"She is an intelligent dog, and
definitely should not be sent to
the pound," said Mary Lou Laird.
Agreeing with Mary Lou,

"Monkey" Lee said, "Why, she's
my Saturday night date. She even
studies with me!"

Although many Scotties have
become quite attached to the little
black dog who befriended ASC
three weeks ago, others feel "Mo-
dig" must not be allowed to stay.

Philosophy Assembly
Discusses Karl Marx

Students from Emory University,
Davidson College, the University
of the South, the University of
Chattanooga and Agnes Scott
College met here Saturday to dis-
cuss "The Thought of Karl Marx."

The Undergraduate Philosophy
Conference was sponsored this
year by ASC.

Five papers by students repre-
senting the five participating
schools were read and discussed
during the morning and after-
noon sessions.

After an evening banquet a
business meeting was held fol-
lowed by an informal panel dis-
cussion.

Peggy McGeachy of ASC read
her paper on "Karl Marx's
Theory of Truth" first.

She demonstrated that "the
Marxist theory of truth is incon-
sistent with the general position
as revealed in his ethical system
and his theoiy of history."

Peggy also moderated the eve-
ning panel, while Ann Womeldorf
presided over the morning session.
Although ASC has been at-
tending the conference for
years, this is the second year a
student has contributed a paper.
The conference topic next year
will be Alfred North Whitehead.

Interview: Probst . . .

Probst Stimulates Thought
In Discussions, Paintings

By BETH CRAWFORD

Early last Wednesday morning red-bearded artist Joachim
Probst arrived on the Agnes Scott campus. With his conver-
sation Probst turned an interested group of followers into
an enthralled group of would-be philosophers.

In several morning and after- , m , . .

definition of a lot of frustration."

"It's when you're told you're a
master and you find yourself in
your studio and can't paint."

Asked about his goal in life,
Probst responded, "To fake out
every day under my own condi-
tions to hold onto idealistic
will." He said that all of his
clothes were given to him.

"I'm not going to join the
parade. I've got money and it
doesn't matter."

Rebel?

"Mr. Probst, why are you re-
belling?" was the next anxious
question. "Rebelling is boring.
I'm not rebelling. I'm afraid to
join it's boring.

"I'm not going to be a carbon
copy of anything. I'd rather be a
failure."

"Do you feel sorry for us?" an-
other voice popped up. "When you
go into a nunnery, then I'll feel
sorry for you," said Probst shak-
ing his head.

Freedom

This man who says "If I don't
paint, I get sick, I get old"
then hastens to add, "They're all
failures," brought a new freedom
of expression to the campus.

Some students call him a great
Christian. Some say he is un-
doubtedly an atheist. This is a
certainty : Probst stimulated
thought with his words as well
as with his paintings.

noon sessions in the Buttrick
art gallery, Probst, with cigar and
black wool skull cap, answered
questions on his painting, his re-
ligion, women, love and boh em i-
anism.

No one was overheard to re-
mark that his answers were bor-
ing.

With a flourish of his hand
Probst said, "I have a kind of fun
painting this nonsense."

Gasps

Gasps) were suppressed by math
majors and art majors alike.

Asked about, the religious impli-
cations of his paintings, the artist
said, "A lot of people think I'm
awfully religious." He later com-
mented that "Cezanne trembled
over painting apples.

"I tremble over painting Christ.
When I think of myself and
measure myself I could weep, so
I pour it in f o this stuff I can't
measure up to the Christian image
so I sublimate it."

Ego

"What's the basis of your be-
lief that there is no happiness in
the world?" asked one student.

"Ego," Probst replied without
hesitation. "I set myself up.

"The lowest decision man can
make is to be that kind of Ro-
mantic-like Byron."

'These artists they may have
berets and beards but (chuckle)
there's nothing romantic about be-
ing an artist." Probst went on to
describe the ritual he goes through
in preparing to paint. "I light a
few candles. I stall around. I pre-
pare myself for great events."
Frustration

CA Offers Opportunities For Service
To Shut-ins, Sick Children, Juveniles

By JO ALLISON SMITH

Christian Association has many projects which afford the Agnes Scott student an oppor-
tunity to "get away from campus for a little while and give of herself to others."

One of these projects is Juvenile
Court, Maripn Greene, chairman,
says, "I'm sure it's done more for
me than for them.

"This project exposes students
to something different. It's not
playing with children or talking
to adults; it's chatting with girls
not much younger than yourself,
like talking with a younger sister.

"They are very responsive and
appreciate your interest in them."
Marion also said that they
help the girls with sewing,
cooking and grooming.
Juniors and seniors are invited
to participate in {his project and
meet with Marion on Friday at
1:30 in front of Main.

"If you like camping, crafts,
leading songs, then you'll like the
Girl Scout project," says Ann
Pollard, chairman.

The girls from Agnes Scott
who participate in this project
are placed with a Girl Scout or
Brownie leader and they work
together on the troop's activi-
ties.

Ann said there was no need for
Scouting background. If a student
has had little or no Scouting, she
will be placed with a Brownie
troop. She has the opportunity to
work with the older girls later if

she keeps up her interest.

Ann remarked that she liked
the responsibility of being in

also commented on the many
opportunities open to a Scout
leader, even working abroad.
The Mary Elizabeth Rest
Home offers students the chance
to bring friendship and cheer
into the lives of shut-in, aged
patients.

Margaret Van Deman, chair-
man, estimated the ages to range
from 45 to 90. The home is only
a few blocks away so students
may go at their own convenience.

"We either sit and talk with the
patients or read to them," said
Margaret.

Scottish Rite Hospital, whose
chairmen are Nancy Duvall and
Jane Gilberston, is just a short
distance away so the girls walk
or ride bikes.
"I like so much to see the joy
in the children's faces as we play
with them," said Nancy Duvall.

Most of the children in the hos-
pital have bone defects which are
being corrected with casts.

The students play games, read
stories, sing with the children
and bring them love and com-
panionship.

Frosh Cop Basketball Tourney;
Sophs Top Seniors for Second

By INA JONES

Many people have said that the final basketball game was
the best of the season. That game was held Friday between
the seniors and the sophomores. The outcome of the game
was a second-place for the sophomores. First place in the
tournament went to the freshmen, the juniors forfeited their
game with the champion freshmen Friday, leaving the
seniors and sophomores to vie for runner-up.

Among the attractions at the

game Friday was a very outstand-
ing shot made in
the final mo-
ments of the
game by no other
than Missy
(Nancy) Moore.

As soon as this
player went on
the court, she re-
ceived applause
from the grandstand. The specta-
tors were united in this aspect of
the game!

The seniors were boosted not
only by members of their class,
but also by their good friend,
Mr. Martin.

The final score was a 57-41 lead
for the sophomores.

Many of the players remarked
that it was one of the fastest
games and the most fun of the
season; certainly it was one of
the highest scored games.

Outstanding players for the
sophomores were Kay Stapleton,
Mary Beth Thomas, Nancy Aber-
nathy and Becky Craig.

Ann Peagler, Kay Gwaltney
and Pam Sylvester were among
the outstanding senior players.

Athletic Association wants to ex-
tend congratulations and appreci-
ation to all players and spectators.

Especially to be commended are
the class managers: Mary Mac
Mitchell, Nancy Abernathy, Biba
Conor and Nancy Stone.

and Georgia Tech Glee Clubs presented a spring concert
Monday at 8 p.m. in Gaines Chapel,

The group was under the direc-

tion of Miss Roxie Hagopian and
Julian Edwards of Tech.

Gabriel Faure's "Requiem," the
outstanding feature of the pro-
gram, was sung by the combined
glee clubs featuring as soloist Miss
Dianne Davidson.

Accompanying the glee clubs
were Dr. William Calder at the
harp and Mr. Edwards at the
organ.

To end the program each glee
club presented a number of their
own selections.

"Give Me Your Tired, Your

the two selections presented by
ASC.

Self-Study Education Committee
Issues Course Questionnaires

By LINDA LENTZ

Wednesday the Educational Program Committee of the
Agnes Scott Self-Study sent out its first questionnaire. Each
member of the senior class was asked to give her opinion as
to what a college course in her major department ought to
achieve.

She was further asked to evalu-
ate all the courses in her depart-
ment which she has taken and to
estimate their value in a program
of liberal education.

Faculty members were given a
similar questionnaire one ask-
ing for opinions concerning the
course offerings in their depart-
ments, for opinions about the
current major requirements and
for any suggestions for improve-
ments.

The questionnaires are
completed by April 14.

The committee which is head-
ed by Miss Mary L. Boney and
Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn
hopes to get as much light as
possible on the soundness of
offerings in each department as
judged by the people most in-
volved.

Questions concerning curriculum
will be asked of the other classes
early next October.

The study of course offerings is
but the first step for the Educa-
tional Program Committee.

This group will also be studying
such areas as admission, orienta-
tion, academic counseling, grad-
ing and opportunities for the
gifted student.

Miss Leyburn, even as she be-
comes increasingly conscious of
the hugeness of the undertaking,
was enthusiastic when ques-
tioned as to her committee's
progress and plans.
It is aweing, .she feels, to think
that the "whole shaping of future
policy at Agnes Scott" will be the

result of this tremendous Self-
Study program; the most im-
portant value of the Self-Study
will be the help it will be to our
own departments.

enough to vote, she should be disinterested
in whatever those elected decide.

There are definitely factions of thought on campus, and
there definitely should always be differences to be confronted
and resolved. Elections provide an opportunity to resolve
the differences, for if everybody votes, the majority is
pleased.

This does not mean that the best compromise is always
the person who gets elected by second and third place
preferential votes. This can be weakening, unless those
who vote for second and third places feel that the candi-
dates are nearly equal in their eyes.

No one should feel obligated to vote three, or even two
choices. She should feel obligated to vote, and to vote her
preferences, and to be able to justify her preferences in
terms of her own feelings for the school.

It is the composite of our expressed feelings which make
or break student life. The integral role which student life
can play in the affairs of Agnes Scott must not be ignored.

Calculated Hope

The New Frontier of this decade holds out the opportunity
for self-vindication to our generation. In sharp contrast to
the labels which have been previously slapped on us, i.e.,
"The Beat Generation," "The Status Seek-
ers," "The Angry Young Men," is a whole
new set of adjectives such as "world-mind-
ed," "unselfish," "responsive."

The reason for this shift of emphasis from
the negative to the positive is young Ameri-
ca's response to the creation of the Peace
Corps.

The immediate response to Kennedy's
campaign promise in San Francisco was in-
dicative of the vigorous, dedicated desire of American youth-
to share the burden of international co-operation.

The enthusiastic volunteers are proving that we are a
generation who, in the words of Sargent Shriver, are "pre-
pared to get our hands dirty," to work for a worthwhile
goal.

This program is considered so important that an estimated
40 million dollars of the national budget has been allocated
for the initial launching.

The Peace Corps is the topic of conversation among inter-
ested citizens everywhere. In colleges across the nation con-
troversy arises over the merits of the program.

Skeptics cry that this is a costly agency just to fulfill a
campaign promise. Genuinely alarmed citizens visualize
the misuse of manpower and funds which could be better
spent in technical assistance or some other facet of the
exsting foreign aid policy.

The income tax-conscious rail against what they consider
a Pipe Dream.

Yet the success of previous similar programs should be
encouraging to even the most wary. Britain's VSO (Volun-
teer Service Organization) and our own IVS (International
Voluntary Services) show a net margin of profit rather than
loss.

These organizations stand as resource material to the Peace
Corps offering constructive suggestions from their own ex-
perience in foreign nations.

The Peace Corps is a carefully calculated hope, a scien-
tifically controlled experiment in the nebulous realm of
"Peace" and "Mutual Understanding."

This is an effort as old as Man himself but capable of pre-
senting a new challenge to a new generation, L.S.

Malik Discusses Policy
Of Christian Leadership

By JO ALLISON SMITH

To be a statesman is to give all allegiance to the state over and above Christ. Then how
can one be a Christian statesman when to be a Christian is to give all allegiance to Christ
over and above the state?

Philip Cuts 'Grinds, Seeks
Lost Academic Enthusiasm

By VIRGINIA PHILIP

For the last time this year for some of us, for the last
time we've returned to a brand new quarter a clean slate,
or a chance to redeem ourselves for winter quarter's slump.

It's time to begin work again

grinding out work: getting assign-
ments done, plowing through re-
search material for papers, cram-
ming for quizzes.

Grinding out
work we've
come to wonder
how much of our
work has been
simply ground
out, and how
much has been
attacked with en-
thusiasm and ex-
pectation. WMm&!:.:.

Whenever we hear someone say,
"I'm actually enjoying writing this
paper," or, "This material is really
fun," it seems to be said with a
sort of incredulity.

It's refreshing to hear that
someone is actually enjoying her
studies. It seems to us that it
should, instead, be shocking to
hear that she isn't, or even
seems to deplore it.
But it isn't that way. Instead
we sympathize with the girl who
is snowed under with work, we get
mono, some of us even shy away
from courses which we're afraid
will require a lot of effort.

We need to remember that we
chose to come to college perhaps
because it's "the thing to do," but
doubtless most of us came be-
cause we wanted "an education."
And then we chose to come to
a college where, we would be
offered a chance to exert our
best efforts, to think inde-
pendently and creatively, not
where we would be spoon-fed
a few facts and given a series
of "homework assignments"

such as we had in high school.

We need to remember that we
are paying highly for this "educa-
tion" with our parents' money
and with four years of our own
lives.

We need to remember that
other people our professors,
the administration, supporters
of the college are also paying.
They must believe that there is
more of a purpose than that of
supporting the manufacturers of
sheepskins.

This is the only time in our
lives that we will pass through
this experience. When ifs past,
ifs past, whatever we may
have made of it, however little
we may have profited.
Surely if we search for our own
personal reason for being here,
and find that we have one, we
can not go numbly "getting things
done," grinding out work, but will
find a real joy in learning.

Officers Set Dates
For Study Retreats

Leadership Training Retreat,
sponsored annually by Mortar
Board for incoming student body
officers, is planned for April 9.

Present officers of campus activ-
ities will lead individual sessions,
while a joint session of newly elect-
ed officers will serve to formulate
principles and ideals for the coming
year.

April 16, Student Government
Association will hold its annual
handbook retreat, during which
time the 1961-62 Student Handbook
will be adopted on the basis of an
annual year-long study.

Festival Committee Solves
Problem Of Fund-Raising

By BETH CRAWFORD

The problem of expense, at first a plague to the future of
the Arts Festival, has shaped its character into a unique
mold. There were two conflicts among those participating in
the formation of the festival activities. The first was the
question of whether or not to have outside lecturers and
critics or to depend on the student body to be its own judge.

ing winter quarter which netted
them $13.

Student government appropri-
ated what was originally desig-
nated Dance Group money (about
$500), but the source of the re-
mainder necessary to balance a
$1,200 budget was vague.

The committee continued to
work on "blind faith" alone un-
til Dr. Alston allowed a lecture
fund of about $600 to be appro-
priated for festival activities.
A campaign had been held to
secure a symbol for the festival,
and the one chosen suits the opti-
mistic nature leading to the frui-
tion of this event.

Mr. Ferdinand Warren caught
the spirit with his spiral design,
signifying growth.

The second conflict (should the
creative work involved stem only
from Agnes Scott College or
should other schools be allowed
to contribute) was solved by a
lack of funds.

Last winter and spring a group
of present seniors discussed the
possibility of a second Arts Festi-
val. They approved "in spirit."
Dr. Wallace M. Alston at the
time said that he was not cer-
tain what was meant by "in
spirit."

Those students interested in
having the festival were soon to
learn that it meant "where do
you expect to find financial sup-
port?"

The first effort of the 60-61
committee was the pizza sale dur-

This was the opening question
posed by Dr. Charles Malik, a
native of Lebanon and past Presi-
dent of the United Nation's Gen-
eral Assembly.

Dr. Malik stated he wanted to
demonstrate two ideas: "that
Christ and His kingdom are com-
pletely independent of the fortunes
of the world" and "that Christ
has penetrated the world through
Christian statesmen."

He said Christ came rn the
midst of history when politics
were already well set in and any
utterance by Him or His
Apostles about politics was en-
tirely accidental.
"It was not Christ's aim to speak
about politics His kingdom is
riot of this world."

Christian infiltration of the
Roman Empire was a cause of its
downfall, but, as Malik continued,
"this was not a sign of the
Church's getting into secular
affairs."

However, there were many
statesmen who were Christians.

He mentioned Constantine under
whose rule Christianity flourished.

Malik stated that "the Church
serves best nationally and inter-
nationally by just being the
Church."

She leaves politics alone to
carry out her own mission and
convictions and in doing this
supports the secular affairs.
But when things go wrong it is
thei fault of the statesman, not of
the Church.

Christianity, said Malik, has in-
fluenced national and international
affairs through those Christian
people who have attained positions
of responsibility in these realms
and have sought, not without over-
whelming difficulties, to implant
in the minds of men everywhere
the Christian concepts of equality,
freedom, brotherhood, peace and
justice.

There are three main inter-
ests of the Christian Statesmen
peace, justice and man.

Students To Choose
Picture-of-the-week

During the next two weeks, the
Art Department is sponsoring two
Picture-of-the-Week Contests to
determine the most outstanding
pictures done by students this
year.

In addition to this painting ex-
hibition, pottery, sculpture, and
mosaics have been included as a
separate entry in the competition.

The entire collection is now on
display on the third floor of But-
trick Hall.

Students are encouraged to
participate in this contest by
voting for the art works which
appeal most to them.
The paintings and plastic works
receiving the highest number of
votes in each contest will be
awarded a blue ribbon and exhibi-
ted during the Fine Arts Festival.

Honorable mention works will
be made available to students at
an auction to be held at the close
of the contest.

All profits will be used for
the Arts Festival.
The result of each contest will
be announced in the following
issues of The Agnes Scott News.

Volleyball, Soccer Spark
Spring Athletic Calendar

By LELIA JONES

Now that spring is here, outdoor sports again dominate the
scene. According to Sarah Kelso, the overall manager of the
major spring sports, plans have been slightly altered this
season.

Because of lack of participation

last year, soft-
ball will not be
a competitive
sport this spring.

For an hour of
relaxing fun in
the sunshine,
come out for
volleyball, which
will be the only
major sport on a class competi-
tion basis this quarter.

Volleyball

Each class will play six games,
meeting the other respective
classes twice.

The requirements to play on a
class team include three practices
before the first game and one
practice before every other game.

Serving as managers are Ann
Foster for the freshmen; Pat
O'Brian, sophomores; Peggy Mc-
Geachy, juniors and Alice Boy-
kin, seniors.

Weather permitting, the games
which begin April 7 will be played
on the hockey field.

Soccer

Another sport which promises to
be interesting is being introduced
for the first time this year on a
non-competitive basis. For those
who like free-for-alls, soccer is the
thing.

Mary Beth Thomas and Ina
Jones say that there will be two
teams> each a mixture of the
classes. From the rumors I've
heard, there is going to be a mot-
ley array of potential soccer play-
ers coming out.

History majors particularly
might be interested in the fact
that Mr. Michael Brown will be
instructing the novices.

Since the emphasis in soccer is
to be placed solely on having fun,
anyone and everyone should feel
free to join the group. Practice
dates will be announced later.

Personnel Sub-Committee
Circulates Questionnaires

The Student Personnel Committee, headed by Miss Julia
Gary, Associate Professor of Chemistry, has created a sub-
committee consisting of Mrs. Margaret Pepperdene, Mr.
Kwai Sing Chang, Miss Kate McKemie, Gayle Green, and
Carol Rogers to study student activities amd student govern-
ment.

This subcommittee sent ques-
tionnaires to every student organi-
zation, such as the student gov-
ernment, all boards, publications,
departmental clubs and others.
The purpose of these question-
naires is to get factual infor-
mation which will be used by
the entire committee on student
personnel.

Some of the facts the commit-
tee is attempting to learn are the
purpose of the organization, its
organizational structure and its
membership whether voluntary,
elected, etc.

Other questions are how the or-
ganization is financed, how the
officers are elected and what it
actually does.

These questionnaires will be
evaluated in terms of the pur-
pose of the organization itself.

Two important questions to be
evaluated are. "Is the organization
doing what it purposes to do?"
and "Is it contributing to the pur-
pose of the college?"

The questions were sent at this
time of the year because of the
benefit of getting information
from two sets of officers, the old
and the new.

The questionnaires are to be
completed and returned before the
middle of May.

How Right Is Right?

The rising generation of leadership us seems to be
labeled the conservatives. Goldwater, Ayn Rand, et al are
the prophets. The party is Republican. The sign is the dollar
mark. The cry is free enterprise.

On the surface, it sounds good. Here are
some of the side-line activities which draw
the side line of young conservatives. Per-
haps we can pass them off. But their num-
ber and influence, taken together, cannot
be ignored. Neither can they be disowned
by a generation who shares the same broad
classification.

(1) The John Birch Society This group,
composed of patriotic, freely acting indi-
viduals, is out-McCarthying the late Joe McCarthy.

The group has numbers on the West Coast and is perme-
ating the Bible Belt. To be certain that no one is "soft," or
"pink," or even "Red," the society arranges its own investi-
gations and purges.

Those not in 100% agreement are suspect. Suspects be-
come the prey of freely acting investigators, who turn the
suspects pasts inside out and desecrate their privacy . . .

(2) At least one White Citizen's Council A candidate
for editor of the University of Mississippi newspaper has
been accused of being a member of the NAACP and an
instigator of sit-ins in Atlanta. We worked with the boy
this summer. We know this isn't true. He was accused by
the Citizen's Council.

Whether the Council's motive is to gain influence through
the student press at Mississippi by purging this candidate,
or whether its motive is simply to correct a grievance, or
whether it was mistaken in its efforts to protect the Uni-
versity, as a lie-detector test taken by the boy in question
indicates, we do not know.

But we do know that an innocent person a person whom
we would call a conservative himself is on the verge of
ruin by loss of reputation in his home state. . . .

(3) Campus Movements At Tulane University, for
example, according to the newspaper, a conservative-
liberal conflict exists on campus. One side comes out rather
strongly.

A recent article, for instance, writes favorably of the or-
ganization of a campus police force in another college, in-
dicating that the police force is a good protector, a neces-
sary safe-guard, for more things than parking problems and
curfew scuffles.

Another article does everything but label the National
Student Association a Communist pawn.

The exchange column contains conservative-extremist
material that some editors throw in the trash because of
the known unreliable sources from which they come. . . .

Those of us on campus, the majority of whom call our-
selves conservatives, most of us being somewhat provincial
by virtue of our birth, if not our beliefs, have got to be care-
ful.

Perhaps forms of right extremity, even Fascism, are dead.
But we best be skeptical, and lend a hand at burying them.

'Good But Hard /

According to U. S. News and World Report, Agnes Scott
and Randolph-Macon are rated the two top girls' schools in
the Southeastern part of the country. Undoubtedly, the
principal reason for the selection of Agnes Scott is its su-
perior academic program.

Most people who know anything at all about the college
classify it as "a good school, but hard." This reputation is
based on the high quality of academic work done by the
students.

When a girl enters Agnes Scott, she is ex-
pected by the faculty to seek eagerly an edu-
cation, to spend long hours digging in the
library, to set her studies as her main ob-
jective rather than extra-curricular activi-
ties or a booming social life. Each year her
work advances in difficulty. But classes are
more interesting also, and learning changes
from drudgery into pleasure.

Although there is a great deal of griping
about the amount and quality- of work required and students
transfer to seek easier and greener pastures, most graduates
are extremely proud of an Agnes Scott degree and the hours
of hard labor that it represents.

In order for the college to retain its fine reputation, the
academic program must continue to improve. The self-study
evaluations will reveal needed changes in some departments.
The fund-raising campaign will bring new classroom build-
ings and increased salaries for teachers.

However, the hope for the future lies mainly in the stu-
dents themselves. It is they who must maintain the high
standard of academic life. C.S.J.

Threat of War Moves Near
In Critical Laotian Situation

By HARRIET SMITH

As events in Laos move closer and closer to the boiling
point and the threat of war no longer seems remote, it is
time to get behind the headlines and to discover exactly
what the U .S. has at stake in that tiny corner of the Far East.

At first glance, Idaho-size Laos

Blackfriars Adopts
Insignia For Plays

Blackfriars will have a new in-
signia soon to be hung in chapel
for the week preceding each pro-
duction.

Miss Elvena Green of the
Speech and Drama department
first got the idea from the cus-
tom in Shakespeare's time of fly-
ing a banner over a theater where
a play would be given.

The new insignia has been de-
signed from Miss Green's plans by
Ann Hutchinson.

It is a shield done in black, gold,
and white and will be hung high
against the curtains in Gaines for
a week before each new Black-
friar's play.

Leaders Will Study
New Official Duties

Newly-elected student body
officers will have the opportunity
to learn something of the purpose
and responsibilities of their new
offices at the Leadership Training
Conference, scheduled for Sunday
afternoon, April 9, at the Fritz
Orr Day Camp.

Sponsored by Mortar Board, the
conference allows the officers
elect to meet with those who have
previously held the same office.

Since it is to be held off campus,
those involved are enabled to con-
centrate fully and exclusively on
their positions and duties without
the undermining distractions of
the campus.

The program will consist
essentially of three parts under
the direction of Mortar Board
members.
First, the entire group will meet
in a general session to consider
the universals of campus office-
holding.

Such things as the preferential
system of election, the point sys-
tem, and the "How-to-get-things
done" policy drawn up by Lower
House will be discussed.

Following the general session,
the group will divide into units
made up of those holding the
same office in different organi-
zations to examine the obliga-
tions of an individual office.
Finally, each new officer will be
allowed to confer privately with
another girl who has served in the
same capacity to discuss the du-
ties of her specific office.

In this way. she can learn
exactly what is expected of her
and how she may best fulfill these
expectations.

Other facets of the conference
include a recreational period be-
fore supper and vespers led by Dr.
Alston immediately preceding the
group's return to campus, which
is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

with its two million peaceable
farmers hardly appears to be
worth worrying about or fighting
for.

In fact, many
Americans have
criticized the
government for
becoming s o
deeply committed
to the safety and
freedom of Laos.

A second
glance, however, reveals the deep
significance of Laos for the free
world, for the Laotian civil strife
has become the focus of the cold
war.

Key

Strategically, Laos is the key to
Southeast Asia. A Communist
takeover would expose South
Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia
to the same sort of assault which
now imperils Laos.

Therefore, the U. S. must either
take a firm stand on Laos or sur-
render the whole of Southeast
Asia to the Communists.

The psychological importance of
the struggle in Laos is tremendous.

A U.S. retreat in Laos would be
viewed by neutralist nations as a
gesture of weakness, and would
promote a general movement to-
ward pro-Soviet neutralism if not
outright Communism.

Test

Apparently, Khrushchev has
chosen Laos as a testing ground
for the Kennedy administration.

By pushing the* Laotian crisis to
the brink of war, the Soviet lead-
er is engaging in a dangerous, yet
effective, experiment to determine
just how much the U.S. will take.

Now is the time for decisions.
Negotiations are in the air, but we
may be certain that the Soviets
will demand territorial and politi-
cal concessions in return for a
truce.

The Kennedy administration
must decide how much the U.S. can
concede and still maintain its dig-
nity and prestige.

The significance of Laos? It
could well determine the whole
trend of relations between Com-
munist nations and the free world.

Library To Display

Art Department Selects
Portrait By Hutchinson

By GAY STEBBINS

After a careful counting of ballots, the Art Department is
happy to announce that Ann Hutchinson's picture of a Negro
mother and her two children is the winner of the first Pic-
ture of the Week Contest.

Honorable mention goes to Ethel
Gilmour, whose prize painting
was of a city street scene.

In the ceramic competition,
Paula Wilson's figure of a young
girl won first place, and her fig-
ure of a fox merited an honorable
mention award.

All prize winning art works are
now on special display in the
Gallery on third Buttrick Hall.
The Art Department was
pleased with the results of this
contest, noting that students
showed much artistic discrimi-
nation in the selection of their
favorite works.
In Ann Hutchinson's picture, for
example, there was an exciting
use of color and planes which gave
her painting plasticity of form and
an even deeper pathos, which was
shown in the expressions of the
mother and children.

In Ethel Gilmour's painting of
a city street scene, diagonal and
parallel lines were used to give
structure to such forms as

buildings, walks and the street.

Her painting exhibited similari-
ties to the famous works of both
John Marin and U trill o.

Paula Wilson's statue of a
Young Girl represents both out-
standing technical and artistic
accomplishment.

The figure is about three feet
high and is cast in stone.

It is simple in structure, yet
represents a mastery of form,
particularly in the molding of
fingers and toes, and facial fea-
tures.

Likewise, Paula's figure of the
fox displays mastery in the hand-
ling of stoneware clay.

The Art Department strongly
encourages participation in the
second Picture of the Week Con-
test, which began on Monday,
April 3.

New paintings are included in
this competition.

Field-and-Track, Soccer To Top
'61 Springtime Sports Calendar

By INA JONES

Once again the Freshmen have come through. Soccer is
not the only sport which will be introduced this spring to
the campus for the first time. The Freshmen have or-
ganized a program for a field and track team.

Among the events to be in-
cluded in this program is the fifty,
seventy-five, and hundred yard
dash.

Even Softball
is now not com-
pletely left out
this spring, for
there will be
competition in
the baseball and
Softball throw.

The prograjm
will also include the standing
broad jump and the shuttle relay.

Despite the fact that there has
never been such an organization
on our campus, the enthusiasm is
remarkable.

The present team members have
even volunteered to dig a pit in
the high jump and running broad
jump if it can be arranged.

Endurance

Miss McKemie will coach the
team, and she urges everyone to
take part.

"Track and field," says Miss
McKemie, "are excellent for physi-
cal fitness, for they concentrate on
building up and maintaining en-
durance."

The team is off to a good start.
Apple Pie Antidote

The practices include exercises
which are good for discovering
new muscles and working off
Agnes Scott apple pie.

Sit-ups, push-ups, and chinning
on the stall boys in the gym are
the old standards which the team
will use to put therru in condition.

The twenty-five yard dash re-
quires no individual skill, i.e. in-
volves fitness, strength and en-
durance.

With the emphasis, nationally,
on physical fitness, this program
should have the support of the en-
tire student body. Even if we can't
run or jump, we can walk ... to
the meet each Wednesday.

Frosh Invite Sophs
To Weekly Mixers

"The mixers were such a suc-

fun," freshman class president
Margaret Moses commented when
announcing the decision made last
Thursday.

In a called meeting the fresh-
man class voted to invite the

ties.

The mixers, get-togethers with
various invited fraternities from
Tech and Emory, will now be un-
der the direction of Marilyn Mc-
Daniel, Dianne Davidson, Becky

of Social Council.

Because of numerous engage-
ments already scheduled for Fri-
day nights of this quarter, the
mixers will be held only on April
7, 28, and May 5, 12, and 19.

Projects, Parties, Picnics, Mixers, Tour
Highlight Spring Quarter Class Activities

With the coming of spring each
class finds itself with a full cal-
endar for this active quarter. The
Freshman Class, enticed by the
prospects of pretty spring weather,
has planned to take a tour of in-
teresting points in Atlanta every
Saturday afternoon.

In May the Freshmen plan to
have a tea for their Sophomore
helpers, Junior sponsors, and fac-
ulty advisers, and to round out
the quarter they will continue to
have, along with the Sophomore
class, the Friday night mixers
with the boys from fraternities at

The Class of 63, wanting to
emerge from the Sophomore
Slump, started spring quarter off
with a bang by having a class
party at the cabin on March 25.

Final Fireside Chats
Spotlight Emphases

Friday afternoon, April 7, the
third in a series of four firesides
in preparation for the Arts Festival
was held in Walters basement.

Mrs. Margaret Pepper dene sum-
marized and discussed the dramatic
effects in "The Only Jealousy of
Emer," which is to be danced dur-
ing the festival.

Mrs. Hugh Campbell, with the
aid of four members of the dance
group, explained the basis of the
dance.

One point, brought out in this
fireside, is that all branches of the
arts at Agnes Scott College have
combined their efforts to produce
this Arts Festival without any out-
side help.

The last fireside was held Mon-
day, April 10. Molly Schwab and
Beth Crawford, authors of the two
one-act plays to be presented by
Blackfriars this week-end, dis-
cussed their plays.

student and her academic work.

In developing his meaning, he
contrasted the existentialists'
viewpoint with the Cartesian con-
cept of objectivity of truth which
develops a non-involved associa-
tion with truth.

Nipped In The Bud

If one is willing to agree that maturity stems from the
choices one makes, then we have a problem on our hands

Why do sophomores say, "I haven't made
a decision since I decided to come here?"
How many seniors worry about the radical
change coming when they "go out into the
world?"

Why have we gotten timid about arguing
with our professors and why do we avoid
conflict by rationalizing away dissent with
"bad attitude" labels?

Part of our ideal is the development of
the mature personality through a democratic life. But most
of the grass roots flowers of budding contributions are
nipped.

In the realm of student government, the grass roots move-
ments that do take hold are cloaked in a long winter of si-
lence before they spring to life in the handbook.

Granted our happy student-administration relation is
unique and something to be treasured.

But we do not think it should deteriorate into a student-
fostered paternalism because we are too nice to assume
the responsibilities we have.
Neither do we think any of us should be protected from
error and failure to the point where we mistakenly think
an ideal is an achieved reality and that perfection is a fact.

Almost everyone tagrees that he learns mostly through the
mistakes he has made. But most of the mistakes we make
fall in limited categories, and most of them >are scarcely ad-
mitted to be such even then.

Our ability to cope is tested within regulated areas,
with a helping hand running along the edge of the track.
Even in the free refuge of the purely academic, we com-
plain if someone throws us a lot of material and expects us
to get a lot on our own.

We prefer several simple busy-work items to one task of
tremendous complexity.

We prefer that professors hand us a topic on a silver
platter. We cast jaundiced eyes on anyone who asks ques-
tions in class. We try to spot the teacher to get a good
grade instead of weighing the material.
We should not be afraid to condemn ourselves on any of
these counts on which we 'are individually or collectively
guilty.

In the coming year of evaluation, we approach the crucial
period in Agnes Scott's history.

We can either succeed greatly, or we can, by coming so
close, yet falling short, fail greatly.

What is close to the heart can be cherished only if it is
tested against every alternative and protected from nothing
for only then can we be sure it deserves our highest feelings.

E.T.

Vital 'Has Beens'

We have just completed one of the most significant events
of the school year the election of officers for the 1961 -'62
session.

In the rush of changing hands and with
enthusiastic plans being made by the in-
coming student leaders, the work of the old
campus officers is often overlooked.

We need to take this opportunity to ex-
press our gratitude and appreciation for
jobs well done this year.

We have been fortunate in the quality
of leadership provided by this year's group
under their direction improvements have been made and
changes effected in every sphere of campus life.
And with gratitude comes the assurance that the seniors
are not "has beens" that their leadership, guidance and
opinions are needed they are still a vital and important
part of Agnes Scott.

With the acceptance of positions comes an awareness of re-
sponsibility on the part of new campus leaders.

However, the effectiveness of campus leadership depends
to a great extent on the quality of the followers.

In a real sense, every member of the student body is a
leader, for it is the opinion, the ability and deep concern of
each individual which is needed for the effective function-
ing of student life.

The officers selected are merely the instruments by which
the aims and purposes of each person may be fully realized.

Tli is is a time for unification for renewed concern on
the part of students in the purposes and aims of the college
a time for constructive criticism and helpful suggestions.

Only then can we "strive to change that which needs to be
changed and perpetuate that which needs to be kept." N.B.

Murphey Summarizes
Summer Opportunities

By NANCY SHERIFF

Miss lone Murphey has said that
the largest number of job oppor-
tunities this year lies in the
camping and Social Service fields.

These job openings stay steady
from year to year but are not al-
ways filled because of the low
salary problem.

The Social Services also have
many offers. A family Service
Agency in Greensboro has con-
tacted Miss Murphey for a single
opening.

There have been increased
offers for economics majors in
this field recently, where for-
mally it was limited to techni-
cal and scientific majors.

These offers are limited to
juniors and seniors, however, be-
cause of the difficulty of the Fed-
eral Service Entrance Examina-
tion, which must be taken first.

There are many offers in Recre-
ation. The Park Department of At-
lanta needs a large number of
lifeguards this summer. They have
not yet announced the possibility
of jobs in the playgrounds and
parks.

Companies are not offering
many summer jobs. A repre-
sentative of the Bureau of La-
bor Statistics recently told Miss
Murphey this type of job had
been very difficult to obtain on
all the campuses he had visited.
More seniors this year have re-
ceived actual job offers than at
this time last year.

The salaries are also averaging
$200 higher than those last year.

The greatest number of offers
have been in the fields of pro-
gramming and secretarial work.
Teachers, as always, are in
great demand. The largest num-
ber of requests have come for
Latin and other languages.
An expert on the educational
problem has stated that the short-
age of Latin teachers has become
so critical that it will eventually
have to be dropped from the cur-
riculum if not soon relieved.

Faculty Announces
Catalogue Changes

Several changes have been made
in the new catalogue for the com-
ing session.

A new course has been added
to the Economics department,
American Economic History. It is
a five hour course to be taught by
Mr. Martin every fall quarter at
11:10.

In the Sociology department Mr.
Tumblin will teach a five hour
course on Cultural Anthropology
each winter quarter at 11:10.

The Speech department has
undergone a complete renovation
and is no longer a subhead under
the English department. Under the
new heading of Speech and Drama
'he catalogue lists several new
courses and different versions of
old ones.

Miss Clark will begin teaching a
new course in French on Pascal in
1962-63, and a new advanced read-
ing course is to be offered in the
German department.

History of Russia has been divid-
ed into two separate courses, one
fall and one winter quarter, and
Current Problems will be resumed
next year.

The Music department has also
undergone a renovation. In addi-
tion to several new courses, Opera
has been condensed into a five hour
course to be offered each spring
quarter.

Nationally Speaking

Smith Marks Trend Toward
Conservatism on Campuses

By HARRIET SMITH

Traditionally, the college campus is regarded as a hotbed
of liberalism; today, it appears that the pendulum has
swung in the other direction, for there is an unmistakable
trend toward conservatism on the college campuses of Ameri-
ca, and ASC is no exception.

The prophet of the conservative
movement is Barry Goldwater, Re-
publican Senator from Arizona,
whose recent
book The Con-
sole >ice of a Con-
servative, is a
best seller at
scores of campus
bookstores and is
required reading
at a number of
universities.

Of Goldwater's 600 letters a day,'
a heavy proportion is from young
people, and his numerous college
appearances usually attract over-
flow audiences.

A "Goldwater for President"
society, Young Americans for
Freedom has chapters in more than
100 colleges.

Conservative Revival
According to Goldwater, the
"conservative revival on the cam-
puses" began about 5 years ago,
springing from the fact that young
people today are better informed,
have more time to think, and are
naturally inclined to buck the
established order.

On the other hand, the Dean of
Cornell declares that the "apparent
resurgence of conservatism on
American college campuses is real-
ly only one phase of a general
resurgence in the colleges and uni-
versities of interest in political and
international affairs, and of a
revival of active debate on current

issues.

Certainly, the "revival of con-
servatism" coincides with a new
atmosphere of seriousness on the
college campus, and with increas-
ing tension in national' and inter-
national affairs.

Reactionary Generation

This editor feels that college con-
servatism is not a sign that
America, is raising a generation of
reactionaries, but that it is a
healthy indication that college stu-
dents are thoughtfully considering
the issues at stake in American's
future.

College conservatives are forcing
liberals to evaluate and define their
political philosophies, and the re-
sult will probably be new life in
our two-party system.

Fine Arts Program

Fine Arts Festival programs
will be available Thursday, the
program committee has an-
nounced.

The cover will feature the Arts
Festival design which has appeared
on all posters covering the festi-
val.

The contents includes all the
Arts Festival activities and will be
the students' guide to time, place

tion and sketches relevant to
Festival performances.

New, Old Officers
With Dr. Alston at Retreat

By LUCY SCHOW

Dark and rainy weather halted the m'ass exodus to Fritz
Orr's for the 1961-62 Leadership Retreat; instead, approxi-
mately sixty students Mortar Board members and both
old and new office-holders camped in Walters basement for
a four hour discussion of responsibility and leadership in
the various segments of campus life.

This group heard Anne Broad ex-
plain the preferential system of
voting and Carroll Rogers discuss
the newly-initiated program of
Self-Study.

Vicki Allen, the rising President
of Student Government, presented
in detail the proposed re-organi-
zation of student government
which will go into effect next
Spring quarter.

Sarah Helen High, present
Student Government President,
spoke to the group concerning
the relationship of mutual un-
derstanding which exists be-
tween the student leaders and
the administration.
The general assembly then
broke up into separate meetings
in areas of specific responsibility.

Each recently-elected office-
holder had the opportunity to
learn the duties of her new posi-
tion from talking to the girl who
has held the office this year.
After a picnic-style dinner
planned by Mortar Board and
Vespers led by Ann Thompson,
Dr. Alston talked about the
'Motives of Office-Holding."
In his speech he set the tone
for the campus-wide activities un-
der this nqw leadership by saying
that "We shall strive to change
that which needs to be changed
and perpetuate that which needs
to be kept."

Gilmour Painting
Takes Top Honor

By GAY STEBBINS

The second Picture of the Week Contest closed on Satur-
day, April 8. Mr. Warren, head of the Art Department, was
pleased with the results of this competition, which reflected
active student interest. Over 260 votes were east during the
entire two Week contest.

The painting i which won first
place in this competition was a
water-color of a portrait of a lady
by, Ethel Gilmour. The style of
this work is fashioned after that of
Modigliani.

For example, the face of the
lady is highly elongated, giving it
a flattened and stylized appear-
ance. Another similarity is the use
of a limited color scheme com-
posed of earth tones.

"Expressionistic" Art

An oil painting of a forest done
by Nancy Batson won an honorable
mention award. Nancy did this
painting as an experiment in tech-
nique in connection with her in-
dependent study in art.

She calls her painting expression-
istic. "The painting is not intended
to be realistic, but to express a
feeling or mood.

"The cool colors and rectangles
are used in a more-or-less abstract
manner in the composition to give
the effect rather than an actual
picture of the forest."

Sculpture Winner

In the sculpture contest, a piece
entitled "Sitting Figure" also by
Nancy Batson won first prize. The
figure is eight inches high and is
made of stoneware. It is Nancy's
first piece of sculpture-in-the-
round.

For the honorable mention
award, Ruth Shepherd's abstracted
form of a bear won high recogni-
tion.

The Art Department would like
to remind all students that there
will be a special exhibition of out-
standing art works to be held in
the reception room of Rebekah
Scott during the Fine Arts Festival.

Contributions will include work
from students, faculty members
and outside artists.

Artists Tea

On April 16, there will be a
special Meet-the-Artists Tea. so
that students will be able to dis-
cuss various aspects of art with
the artists.

Indicative of this touch-and-go
situation was the score of 12-11 in
favor of the seniors at the end of
the first half.

Touch and Go

The second half seemed to pro-
duce even more action. The spirited
volleys became longer and more
tense.

Displays of excellent teamwork
kept the ball going amid the
shouts of enthusiastic spectators.

Steadily, however, the juniors
began to pull ahead. With methodic
coordination their team, with not-
ables, Cissie Harris and captain
Sue Mustoe, managed to keep the
serve until they had a good lead.

In the last minutes of the game
the seniors with Ann McBride and
captain Nancy Barr, retaliated
again, but to no avail. The final
score of 27-18 found the juniors
on top.

Freshmen Forfeit

In the other game the freshmen
had to forfeit to the sophomores.
This means that the sophs and
juniors are now in the lead.

Because of this, the games sche-

in part the outcome of the season.
The first game pits the seniors
against the fresh, the second,
juniors versus sophs.

Both the freshmen and the
sophomore teams have good poten-
tial. The spiking efforts of Kay
Stapleton and Page McGavock
backed by Carolyn Lown and
captain Pat O'Brian are sometimes
hard to beat.

Freshmen Ann Foster, Sally
James and Ann Pennebaker are
also a formidable trio.

With only one game played and
the chance for each team to meet
the other ones at least one more

With the many future chances to

Two one-act plays by Agnes Scott students were presented last Saturday morning in

Play Brings Applause;
Critics Advise Changes

By CAROLE JACKSON

The world premiere of "Uncle Sam's Cabin" created a
smash hit with the audience in Gaines Chapel last Friday
night. The witty, sophisticated dialogue provided a wide
range of audience reactions, ranging from titters to loud
roars of laughter. In addition to the comic aspects of the play,
the image of the international set in Beirut evoked serious
thought,

At the center of the plot was
the love story of two young ex-
patriates, ably portrayed by Betty
Sue Wyatt and Kim Corson.

They were backed up by an
excellent cast.

Jo Allison Smith as Estelle
Parks played the love-starved, cyn-
ical journalist with poignancy and
humor.

Another particularly fine per-
formance was Edgar Gay in the
role of Uncle Sam.

With the help of Drama Tech
members, the Blackfriars produced
striking scenery and lighting
effects.

The sets of the Hotel St. George
lobby and Uncle Sam's soda shop,
designed by Miss Elvena M. Green,
showed colorful originality.

"Uncle Sam's Cabin" moved
rapidly through the first two acts
but dragged in the third.

The audience was visibly
ready to depart after the pas-
sionate clinch of the hero and
the heroine.

The final! scene was anticlimatic
and tedious.

According to the panel discus-
sion by four distinguished critics,
the play was termed "interesting
. . . amusing dialogue."

Dr. John Gassner stated that
the play needed a better cli-
matic development and clearer
character delineation.

"Top many of the characters
exist in cubicles of their own," he
explained.

Mrs. Margaret Sewell praised
the "bright, good dialogue and
good characterization," but
thought that the second and third
acts were written in haste.

"Successful to the audience"
was the phrase Mr. Robert
Porterfield used.

He, too, was "ready to go home"
after the lovers' embrace.

He advocated cutting and re-
distributing.

Mr. Leighton Ballew criticized
the image of America abroad as
being "a little superficial."

He thought that the character
of Sugar Ray should be more
threatening to the heroine.

NEWS staff Retreat tonight
at the Cabin from
7-9 p.m.

noon, April 21, at 2 and at 4 in
207 CampbeU Hall.

On Saturday, Mrs. Bettie Jane
Wooten, Editor of the National
Section of Dance, publication of
the American Association of
Health, Physical Education and
Recreation, will conduct a lecture
and master class in contemporary
dance.

The session is to begin at 4 p.m.
in Bucher Scott Gymnasium and is
open to the public.

Friday evening at 8 in Gaines
Chapel, the Dance Group will ap-
pear in a joint program of con-
temporary music and dance with
the Glee Club. The program will
feature an introduction on the
background of contemporary dance
and five interpretive dances,
choreographed and danced by the
Dance Group under the direction
of Mrs. Campbell.

Also on Friday evening's pro-
gram will be a presentation of
William Butler Yeat's play "The
Only Jealousy of Emer," performed
jointly by the Dance Group and
students of the Speech Depart-
ment.

This sale, which will complete

of pottery or sculpture which some-
day may be valuable.

Works which will be auctioned
are currently on display in Re-
bekah Scott Hall and include pieces
contributed by 13 area painters and
many ASC students.

sketches to about four-foot can-
vases, and in method of present-
ation from still-life realism to total
abstraction, the paintings feature

presented first, was well handled
by the three actresses, Lila Shef-
field, Margaret Roberts, and Pam-
ela Stanley.

In spite of some awkward tran-
sitions and a few serious lines
that produced laughter, the play
seemed well-written and directed.

Beth Crawford's play also
showed real literary talent.

Freshman Hodges

Freshman Sarah Hodges who
handled the difficult task of
changing smoothly from comic to
serious lines, gave an excellent
performance.

She also showed remarkable
poise when a flat accidentally fell
behind her. Her co-star, Terry Kay
of the Decatur-DeKalb News, play-
ed his part very successfully.

In the critical discussion follow-
ing the plays,
Dr. John Gass-
ner stated that
he preferred
Beth Crawford's
play in reading
and Molly
Schwab's play in
performance.

Staging Difficulties

He explained the difficulty in
acting when only two characters
are present on the stage, standing
across from each other.

Mr. Leighton Ballew praised the
performances in
"Something That
Lasts" and the
play itself. How-
ever, he thought
the tragic ele-
ment would be
improved by a
better ending.

He criticized Molly's technique
in the actors' exits and the unclear
relationships of some of the char-
acters.

Accolades

Miss Margaret Sewell suggested
that "Refutation
of an Old Theme"
might have been
more effective if,
at the ending,
the older sister
still dominated * r
the younger. ^

Porterfield also
mentioned the
unclear relation-
ships in both
plays but praised
the writing in
both student
plays

Campus Cinderella?

As this publication dhanges hands, we feel that a restate-
ment of purpose is necessary.
We shall report the news accurately and comprehensively;

however, it is part of our larger purpose to
evaluate and constructively criticize all that
touches the community.

In our analysis of the news and presenta-
tion of student opinion, we shall maintain an
objective position.

We shall continue the coverage of every
segment of campus life the arts, sports,
lectures, and legislative changes. For those
of us who sometimes find ourselves flounder-
ing in an off-campus discussion of the "world situation" we
also preserve the traditional columns, "News, in Brief," "In-
ternationally Speaking" and the editorial policy of world
relatedness.

In relation to the other organizations here, the News
should not be considered the step-sister of the four boards
nor, on vthe other hand, should it vaunt itself as the campus
Cinderella. We are all in the same co-operative effort the
realization of the college ideals.

The News moves in complete freedom from faculty censor-
ship. The only censorship we ever encounter is the individual
student whose self-imposed silence stifles any sincere ques-
tions or efforts toward the actualization of needed changes.

The Agnes Scott News is many things to many people. To
some it is only ai piece of paper that clutters the mail boxes
on Wednesday afternoon.

To others who read only the headlines it is still a valuable
substitute for the weekly schedules which few bother to
pick up in Buttrick.

To those of us on the staff, each issue of the News is a part
of us, the presentation of the opinions which we consider
stimulating to campus thought.

Yet the News belongs to no one person nor one small staff
It is the property of every member of the community.

Because it is yours, you should feel obligated to construc-
tively criticize it as well as contribute your views to its pages.

Your vitality is needed in our effort toward an ideal. L.B.S.

'Swan Song'

Writing a swan song doesn't give one much of a chance to
soar, but a few bouquets need to be distributed, the biggest
one going to Mary Jane Moore, who has been not only man-
aging editor of the News this year, but also arbiter of style,
^fledglings, soother of ruffled emotions and a first
class journalist.

From both of us go thanks to Fred Hill
who makes up the paper at The DeKalb New
Era. He has saved us from both figurative
and journalistic tombstones more than once.

Carroll Connor and Linda Ingram have
kept the wolf away from the rather poverty-
stricken door of the newsroom all year, and
for a herculean effort, they get an all-caps,
bold-face THANKS.
twit to offer a bouquet to Missy Moore, who has
helped bridge that long-silent gap between student govern-
ment and the paper, so that the whole communications abyss
has been almost filled. ,

Best of all has been you, the student body. This year you
have done things^ and in process made some of the best news
Agnes Scott has had. This has helped us, but more important,
you have helped the school.

Keep giving Lucy these kinds of stories. E.T.

Peachtree Offers Exodus,
GWTW, Pepe, Cocoa Tree

By LYNNE LAMBERT

The Broadway of Atlanta, better known as Peachtree
Street, is full of fresh and spectacular entertainment this
week. Still playing at Loew's is the incomparable "Gone
With the Wind" which is a must for all true Southerners
whether youVe seen it only once or even five times before!

Now showing at the Roxy for an

house is located just across from
the Tower Theatre.

The beatnik effect permeates
the place while the menu boasts
of various kinds of expresso cof-
fee and other foreign delights. It
provides a touch of real Europe
right on our own Peachtree
Street.

Not to be overlooked this week
are the "after seven" events con-
nected with the Fine Arts Festival
on our own campus. These in
themselves will provide entertain-
ment hard to equal even on Peach-
tree.

indefinite run is the anxiously-
awaited Preminger production of
f exodus based on
the novel by
Leon Uris.

Although the
movie deviates
in many respects
from the novel,
the result is a
moving and ex-
citing production
of the plight of post-war Jews in
Israel. Paul Newman is dynamic as
Ari Ben Canaan, and Sal Mineo
gives an impresive portrayal of
Dov Landau.

On the lighter side at the other
end of Peachtree, the Fox Thea-
tre is showing another of Holly-
wood's spectaculars for 1961.
Nominated for seven academy
awards, the musical comedy Pepe,
starring Dan Dailey, Shirley Jones,
and a host of movieland's top
stars, promises to prove an eve-

These students

offer beyond the
smoke which
comes from their
mouths. When
we are around
them we had
better be a little
down on the school, and perhaps
slip in a soft "damn" to be com-

Next we find the "smiling idea-

them we must nod gaily and think
happy, fresh thoughts, for we feel
that these people are a little un-

We also notice here the "lead-

U.S. Replies To Cosmonaut
With Anxious Scorn, Praise

By HARRIET SMITH

In an article concerning the successful orbiting and return
of the Soviet cosmonaut, the Christian Science Monitor ob-
served that "the President's congratulations were accom-
panied by considerable official and congressional disappoint-
ment that the U. S. had again been beaten by the U. S .S. R.
in one of the greatest scientific achievements in man's
history."

have assured us that the U. S. is
actually in the lead in some areas.

Even if the U. S. were lagging
appreciably behind Russia in the
conquest of space, or should be-
gin to lag in the future, it is im-
portant for Americans to con-
sider the principles which enable
Russia to advance so rapidly.
Russian Sacrifices
Russia's amazing strides in in-
dustrialization and science under
the Communist regime have been
achieved through the sacrifice of
two concepts democracy holds
most dear: personal liberty and
national welfare.

Human life is held at a premium
in a democracy. In Russia, it is
regarded as expendable. The U. S.
has made every effort to assure
the safety of the first astronaut;
there is some evidence that the
Soviet Union launched a man in
space by the trial and error
method.

If America can keep up with
Russia in the space age without
sacrificing national principles,
that is fine. But, if democracy can
be maintained at the expense of
rapid progress, then America will
still be ahead.

Unfortunately, disappointment
and panic seem to have been the
chief reactions
among the ma-
jority of Ameri-
cans. How the
Russians must be
gloating over
their success in
again stirring up
the American
obsession with
primacy and prestige!

A certain degree of competition
is healthy in the world of science.
However, it is a sad state of
affairs when a momentous scien-
tific achievement is viewed solely
in terms of national rivalries.
Propaganda Tool
Ideally, scientific achievements
should be regarded in light of their
merit alone. However, since the
Russians have chosen to use scien-
tific advances as a propaganda
tool, Americans must try to sup-
press panic and regain a proper
perspective.

At the present, America seems
to be holding her own quite well
in the space race, especially since
she entered only after the Rus-
sians had a substantial head start.

Sports Calendar Features
Campus Soccer Matches

By MARY LOU LAIRD

Along with April showers and flowers, Spring brought a
new activity to Agnes Scott soccer. Unlike most spring-
time occupations such as sun-bathing and sleeping, this one
requires a little more practice in order to become an expert
in the field.

Surprisingly enough, it was
well-received by the campus ath-
letes and spectators. The team
was organized rapidly and was
blessed by fair weather and num-
erous participants at practices.

Two reasons for its popularity
could be the able coaching given
by Mr. Michael Brown, cleverly
disguised as a history professor,
and the management and publici-
ty given it by Ina and Lelia,
cleverly disguised as the "Jones
cousins."

Two practices on Wednesday
afternoons have been held. Campus
athletic notables included Anne
Broad, Edna Vass, Sally Boineau,
Janet Hodge and Mary Beth
Thomas.

Although few players knew the
rules of the game, most of them
enjoyed the exercise and the help-
ful instruction from an "honest-
to-goodness" Englishman.

There were a few mishaps,
though. For example, Anne Broad
just happened to run into an
opponent while racing down the
field.

The members of the team hope
to play a game at the end of the
quarter in order to exhibit their
new skills. Of course, to reach this
goal they must practice hard and
maintain the interest of present
and prospective players.

Agnes Scott needs this type of
sport. It is one which involves
both teamwork and personal skill.
Since it is relatively unfamiliar,
it is more of a challenge than
those familiar games, hockey and
basketball.

If we wish to maintain interest
in this sport and others which
may appear in the future, we
should participate in its promo-
tion.

Instead of taking a nap or play-
ing a game of bridge this after-
noon at 5 p.m., go down to the
hockey field and play soccer. If
you can't play, watch. It's great
fun!

Math Professor Thrall
To Lecture April 22-24

Dr. Robert M. Thrall, Visiting
Lecturer for the Mathematics
Association of America, will speak
here April 22-24.

Dr. Thrall has been Professor of
Mathematics at the University of
Michigan for 20 years.

At 10:45 a.m. on April 22, Dr.

Reunited Alumnae See
Big Change In Campus

By CAROLE JACKSON

Flooding the campus last Satur-
day were crowds of alumnae dress-
ed in spring suits, colorful hats
and immaculate white gloves. The
occasion was the annual Alumnae
Association luncheon and various
class reunions.

In the morning the alumnae
heard Dr. Wallace M. Alston speak
on "The Role of Alumnae Today."
They had an al fresco buffet in
the May Day Dell, followed by a
business meeting. Then the classes
of '97-1900, '11, '16-19, '35-38, '51,
'54-57, and '60 held reunions.

Touring and Gossip

The favorite activity of the
ladies, besides talking, was tour-
ing the campus. Many returned to
their former rooms in the dormi-
tories and cottages. "Goodness, how
the school has changed!" "Look at
those new buildings!" the older
women exclaimed. The recent
graduates headed to the Hub for
a few quick hands of bridge and an
exchange of the latest gossip.

Some of the older alumnae were
amazed upon hearing the present
social rules. No wonder, since it
was virtually impossible for them
to leave campus with men! For
example, even as recent as the
1930's, students had to be chaper-
oned when riding in cars with
men.

Old Rules

Lights were turned out at 11 p.m.
Girls could not go to the Decatur
drugstores on Sunday or play vic-
trolas during church time.

Smoking on campus was not
allowed until 1952. Before then,
some neighbors on South Candler
Street gave students permission to
use their front door steps as an
approved place for smoking.

With many promises to write and
keep in touch, the alumnae left for
home after the meetings ad-
journed.

Bellune
Festival

By JO ALLISON SMITH

The Agnes Scott Arts Festival came to a stirring climax
Friday night, April 21, with the music and dance program.

Arts in action paraded before the campus for one whole
week purporting to renew and revitalize people's art in-
terests ialong with stirring up those interests unknown or
concealed.

There were no April showers
last Saturday as Agnes Scott
alumnae toured the campus of
their alma mater, attended
class reunions and renewed
friendships.

Miss Wilburn, faculty chairman
of the Festival, stated that the
success of the festival was due
to a great extent to the number
of people who participated in it.

She pointed out that an original
intent was to include as many
people as possible so that the Arts
Festival would be more meaning-
ful.

Miss Wilburn said she was very
pleased with the whole Festival.
The week's events surpassed her
expectations and she stated, "It
Vould be impossible to thank every-
body who has taken part from the
beginning plans to the very last day
on April 22."

Campus Unification

"The Arts Festival has, I be-
lieve, drawn our campus closer
together," commented Betty Bel-
lune, student chairman of the
Festival.

Betty went on to say that she
was pleasantly surprised at the
campus-wide enthusiasm, reaction
and participation.

She was very happy to see so
many freshmen taking an active
part in the week's events because
the planning committee wanted to
include them as much as possible.
Faculty Support

"The faculty have given us
moral and practical support and
have been sympathetic and helpful
from the very beginning," Betty
continued.

As to the effect and contribution
of the Arts Festival, Betty had this
to say: "We have certainly made
people aware of the Arts and aware
that each individual has some crea-
tive ability. I think we have also
demonstrated how much fun the
Arts can be and the work and en-
joyment that goes into creativity.

"The Festival also brought about

'a communication between those
who are outstanding in the differ-
ent fields of art and those studying
the arts.

Exciting Success

"I believe that the effect on the
campus has been overwhelmingly
successful as seen through campus
interest and participation."

Sandy Still, secretary of the
Steering Committee of the Festival
said: "The response to the Arts
Festival as a whole has seemed
to me one of the most exciting
aspects of this whole week."

O'Conner Calls Stories 'Slight/
Ciardi Analyzes Student Poetry

Reviewed By MARIANE WURST

Literary criticism came into the spotlight last Wednesday
afternoon when a long-awaited panel discussed the Festival
issue of Aurora before a capacity crowd in the Lower Dining
Hall.

Authoress Flannery O' Conner
said that the short stories fea-
tured in the magazine were better
than the usual "college-girl story."
Her criticism of the works was
that the subject matter was
"slight."

Dynamic and astute, John Ciardi

make a comment that counts . . .

Five Years From Now

To the aspiring poets and auth-
ors in his audience Mr. Ciardi
commented, "Five years from now
you must be ashamed of what you
have written now." His main ob-
jection to the poems was the over-

abundance of adjectives.

He also admonished student
poets to pay more attention to
rhyme and meter and asked for
"more engagement of formal dif-
ficulties." He admitted, "It's easier
to write if you don't demand any-
thing of yourself."

Confessing that he never allow-
ed his own students to write free
verse, Mr. Ciardi added, "You are
not good enough now, nor will you
be five or ten years from now, to
write free verse."

We The Jury Find...

Before one can battle adequately "the slings and arrows
of outrageous fortune," one has to have the facts. Try writing
a rpvipw before seeing the play. The results can be em-
barrassing.

One of the hardest things to learn is how
to make decisions, how to criticize them
justly and how to respect the decisions and
criticisms of others. One hates to be called
narrow-minded.

Many of us resemble little snails who
shrink back into their shells whenever a
stick is shaken at them. We are afraid to
come out again until the coast is clear.
iviosu oi us don't even look to see whether it is a big stick
or a little stick it doesn't really matter.

This is not to undermine the importance of having and
applying opinions. However one who has high standards but
fails to bring them down from the ivory tower of their birth
or one who blockades them from practical experience with
petty interests might as well not have any at all.

Since we are rational beings, capable of making decisions,
we feel able to dissect the decisions of others. For some
of us this appears a profession, or at least an avocation.
Thus we have a right to our opinions, and it naturally fol-
lows to compare our opinions with those of others.

Sensible criticism presupposes knowledge of the facts of
the issues involved. The idea of the right, the good and the
just often assumes new proportions when all of the aspects
of a problem 'are considered.

Often, we can't even take time to step down from the
seat of judgment to polish our halos. We are literally the
angelic host; we accept nothing but compliments.
The key word seems to be respect, with a concern for the
truth and for the individual. This (appears to be something
everybody else should consider.

We seem to flatter ourselves in the assumption that any
deviation from what we consider the path of "straight think-
ing" is prejudiced^ unjust or just plain stupid.

Justice requires an open-minded knowledge of the thing to
be criticized. Without this attitude we ought to be living on
the inside of some goldfish bowl rather than on this college
campus. I. J.

Operas, Circus, Cinemas
Brighten Atlanta's Scene

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Atlanta is offering a wide variety of entertainment for
the coming week, making it possible for the tastes of all to

be satisfied by the current bil
The Metropolitan Opera season
gets under way Monday night with
the opening performance of
Puccini's "Turandot." Puccini died
before he could complete "Tur-
andot" which is his last and in
the opinion of many his greatest
opera.

The score was finished by his
friend, France Alfano, who worked
from sketches left by the com-
poser. Puccini's own music ends
near the close of the first scene of
the third act, shortly after the
suicide of Liu.

Through it all runs a vein of
opulent Puccinian melody that
makes "Turandot" one of the most
profoundly beautiful scores in the
literature of opera.

Another of Puccini's operas,
"Manon Lescaut," will be perform-
ed on Tuesday night. It is based on
the Abbe Prevost's story, "Les
Aventures du Chevalier des Grieux
at de Manon Lescaut," a tragic tale
of a pleasure-loving beauty of
Paris. This opera was Puccini's
first outstanding success.

of fare.

To appeal to the fancies of all
who are young at heart the circus
is in town! The all-new Shrine
Circus is giving three performances
daily at the Municipal Auditorium
this Thursday night. Shows begin
at 11 a.m., 3:15 p.m. and 8:15 p.m.
Movies

For those who missed seeing it
the first time around, "Butterfield
8" is now showing at the Fine Art
Cinema. It was for her starring role
in this film that Elizabeth Taylor
won the Academy Award for best
actress of the year.

Finally, for anyone who feels in
need of accentuating their own
state of depression, William Faulk-
ner's "Sanctuary" is currently
showing at the Rialto. Starring Lee
Remick, this picture has been
termed by many as "depressingly
realistic."

With such extremes to choose
from it should not be difficult for
anyone to find just the right enter-
tainment to suit his taste this
week.

cJletter to tlte Editor

Dear Editor:

While we are at Agnes Scott
each of us will probably break at
least one of the school rules.

We may break a "little rule"
such as missing a house meeting
without permission or accepting an
incoming local call on a pay tele-
phone. We may break a "big rule"
such as drinking or smoking in the
dorm.

Whenever we break any rule,
little or big, the real test of
character is whether we honestly
face what we have done.

It is always possible to lie out of
a situation.

The girls we admire most are
those who truthfully admit errors,
knowing that they will have to ac-
cept the consequences.

Eichmann: A Precarious Foil
For Nation, Race, or Justice

By DORIS SANDERS

The eyes of the world laire turned to a courtroom in Jeru-
salem where a slight, balding German stands in a bullet-
proof glass box.

Adolf Eichmann, former lieutenant colonel of the Gestapo
and head of its Jewish Affairs Section, stands accused of the
mass murder of six million European Jews during World
War II.

goal
will

The Israeli Government, in an
attempt to justify its existence as
a national state, welcomes the
worldwide publicity, which the trial
is receiving.

Israel wishes to
remind the world
of the Nazi atro-
cities which
iecessitated the
formation of an
official homeland
for the Jews.
A second fun-
which Israel feels
accomplish is to
familiarize the younger generation
of Jews in Israel as well as those
members of the Jewish faith all
over the world with the humilia-
tion and death suffered by their
European brethren.

Eichmann Tape
Recently, during the trial, a tape
made by Eichmann after his cap-
ture was played in the crowded
courtroom. In unforgettable words
the former Nazi comdemned him-
self.

"Perhaps I ought to hang my-
self in public in order that all the
anti-Semites in the world should
have the terrible character of these
events emphasized to them."

It is important for the world to
weigh the circumstances and issues
of the Eichmann trial. Adolf Eich-
mann was kidnapped from Argen-
tina by agents of the Jewish under-
ground.

Six Million Jews

He is being tried under a law
adopted in 1950, years after the
commission of the alleged crimes.
Vital defense witnesses face ar-
rest if they come to Israel to testi-
fy.

Yet balanced against these cir-
cumstances stands the fundamental
issue. Adolf Eichmann was respon-
sible for the death of six million
Jews.

There is certainly a chance that

the repercussions of the trial might
not be those which Israel expects.
Her position in world affairs could
be impaired.

Propaganda Tool

Israeli relations with West Ger-
many which have been improving
up to this point may be permanent-
ly damaged. The U.S.S.R. has been
quick to use the Eichmann trial to
direct propaganda against West
Germany.

As the trial progresses, the
dilemma of the man in the bullet-
proof glass box continues to in-
fluence international policy and
opinion.

Dr. Farmer To Lecture
For University Center

The Reverend Herbert H. Farm-
er, professor of divinity at Cam-
bridge University, will be on the
Agnes Scott College campus from
Saturday, April 29 to Friday, May
5

Tuesday, May 2, Mr. Farmer will
speak in chapel on "God and Per-
sons" and at 4:30 p.m. on "Christ
and the Problems of Evil."

In speaking of his ability as a
lecturer, Dr. Paul Leslie Garber,
professor of Bible at ASC, said
"He is well worth hearing. We have
worked hard to make possible his
coming."

Dr. Mary Lily Boney. also of the
ASC Bible Department, expressed
the hope that students will make a
special effort to confer with Mr.
Farmer during his week on the
ASC campus.

Mr. Farmer has published a
number of books, including Things
Not Seen, The Herding Cross and
God and Man.

As a University Center Visiting
Scholar Mr. Farmer will lecture at
Columbia Seminary, Emory Uni-
versity, and ASC on the aspects of
popular theology.

This "coffee spoon" existence
could well be the result of four
years at Agnes Scott College, be-
cause of the fact that there seams
too little love for the academic
work itself.

"The Grade"

For most of us, the grade and
only the grade is all that matters.

We seem not to feel our work.
We don't let our work touch us
and become part of us.

We study only for the grade.
What will a letter from the alpha-
bet mean ten years from now?
Nothing.

Some of us even seem to select
courses on the basis of which ones
we can make the best grade in.
Wasteland

These four years at Agnes Scott
are supposed to be related to the
rest of our existing years. If we
are not personally involved in our
academic work now, then these
four years are helping us to make
our own "wasteland."

Here's hoping that our diploma
will be a transcending piece of
paper so that life will hold
more than the T.V., bridge and the
golf game.

As John Ciardi said, "One should
scratch where one itches." Aren't
we able to scratch without a
grade?

Art Auction Brings
$450 For Expenses

Hutchinson, grossed around $450

festival and cost of the art de-
partment.

for the paintings, drawings and

Scientists To Gather Here
For Academy Conference

By JUDY LITTLE

The Georgia Academy of Science will meet at Agnes Scott College on Saturday, April
29. Approximately 100 scientists from teaching and industrial positions in Georgia will
attend the annual meeting.

Dr. W. T. Frierson says that the academy has not met here since the construction of the
Campbell science building.

At the yearly conferences
scientists report to each other the
research work they have been
doing. The purpose of the acade-
my, says Dr. Frierson, is "ad
vancement of state interest in
every phase of science."

In the morning, the scientists
will be grouped into one of four
divisions: chemistry; biology;
physics, math and astronomy; and
geology. The divisional meetings
will take place simultaneously in
various classrooms in Campbell
Hall.

In these meetings, the scientists
will present papers and talks con
cerning their work to a group
that is involved in the same field.
Marable's Chromatograph

Nina Marable, an ASC chemi-
stry major, will present her gas
chroma tograph. According to Dr.
Frierson, gas chromatography is a
new field of analytical chemistry.

He says, "Nina has built her gas
chroma tograph from materials
here in the lab and has it just
about in operation now. The price
of such an instrument would be
$1,200 if we bought one at the
regular commercial price."

Besides this outstanding achieve-
ment Nina has received accepta-
tion of an article for the Journal
of Analytical Chemistry. The arti-
cle is titled "Spectrophotometry
Determination of Cobalt."

Smith's Research

Nina has been doing work on
this project and the paper de-
scribing the project since last
summer. Nina modestly says, "I
didn't do all the. work; two other
girls helped with the research."

Another Agnes Scott student,
Page Smith, will present a paper
at the morning meeting. Page, who
is a bio-chemistry major, will re-
port on the effect of acidity on
the growth of the bacterium
Serratia marcescesens.

Following the morning meeting
the guests will eat in the dining
hall. Dr. Frierson says, "You will
know that all the strange looking
people in the line are scientists."
Afternoon Debate

A debate will take place after
lunch. It will be attended by all
the scientists and is open to all
Agnes Scott students and faculty
members. The debate, conducted
in discussion form, will concern
a topic that is of interest to
everyone.

The day's activities will close
with a tea at 3:30 in the after-
noon.

Classes Vie For Top Honors
In 796/ VolleyballTournament

By ELEANOR LEE

This spring as usual the grass is growing in all spots ex-
cept one the volleyball court. Here it is being trampled
upon by the feet of Agnes Scott students striving for the
volleyball championship of 1961.

With their hard-to-come-by vic-
tory over the seniors (29 to 23),
Friday, April 21, the sophomores
took the lead.

After beating the juniors to the

tune of 47 to 10 the same after-
noon, the freshmen advanced from
last to second place where they
are tied with the juniors and
seniors.

Excitement increases as the
season moves on and the compe-
tition becomes keener. Any chance
of tension, however, is out-
weighed by the fun of playing.
Comedy also finds its place on
the volleyball court. Miss Mc-
Kemie and Miss Manuel enter-
tain all except those in the
study smoker.
"S-i-d-e out! Keep volleying!
What's 'a matter wit' ya', kid?
Can't you see the ball before it
hits you in the belly?" are all
heard from the court. Then sud-
denly echoing from the study
smoker comes the unexpected ad-
monition "Q-U-I-E-T H-O-U-R-S!"

Nevertheless, it is the teams and
their officials that win every
time. No more than 20 minutes
later all those who issued the ad-
monition are on the volleyball
court making more noise than
anyone else.

All of you who are sitting in
the dorm, in the library, or in
the Hub it's SPRING! Take

out a few minutes this Friday
afternoon and get outside.

By spectating or playing, you
will not only help your team, but
you will also be living up to the
theme of spring relaxation.

Freshmen, juniors clash in exciting volleyball game while referees
McKemie, Manuel provide comedy.

ASC Alumna Hutchens, Nelson

By JUDY LITTLE

An alumna of Agnes Scott College, Dr. Eleanor Newman
Hutchens, is coming to Agnes Scott as an associate professor
of English. Dr. Wallace Alston says that Miss Hutchens is
"a very distinguished person who has had a great deal of
experience."

Miss Hutchens is a native oi
Huntsville, Alabama. She received

her B.A. from ASC in 1940, then
completed her M.A. and Ph. D. de-
grees at the University of Penn-
sylvania. She has also done sum-
mer study work at Oxford and at
Stratford-on-Avon.

Miss Hutchens is a member of
Phi Beta'Kappa afro* "Mortar Board.
From 1940-43 she served as pub-
licity director at Agnes Scott and
was Director of Alumnae Affairs
from 1947-54. She is currently
President of National ASC Alum-
nae Affairs.

Journalistic Capabilities

In addition to these offices, Miss
Hutchens has worked in several
journalistic capacities. She served
as news editor of The DeKalb New
Era, 1942-43, news and editorial
writer for The Huntsville Times,
1944-47, and editor of Mortar
Board from 1945-60.

Dr. Alston says that she has
also "published a number of scho-
larly articles and reviews."

Miss Hutchens has been associate
professor of English and in charge
of academic affairs at the Uni-
versity of Alabama, The Huntsville
Center, since 1957.

ASC students had an opportunity
to her.r her speak in chapel this
year. Dr. Alston says that the
witty and entertaining talk she
presented then is typical of what-
ever she does.

Brandeis Receives
Fulbright In French

Judy Clark Brandeis, a French
major from Decatur, Georgia, has
been awarded a Fulbright Scholar-
ship for the academic year 1961-62
to Aix-Marseilles at the Faculte
les Lett res, France.

Mrs. Brandeis will be in Paris
October 1 for an orientation period,
and she will begin her study of
French language in literature at
Aix next November 1.

She is one of approximately nine
hundred persons who are being
awarded grants for graduate study
abroad under the international edu-
cational exchange program of the
Department of State.

Math Department Addition

Mr. Robert E. R. Nelson, a native
of Harrisonburg, Va., is to be a
new instructor in mathematics at
ASC next year.

He received his B.A. and M.A.
degrees from the University of
Virginia, and has been there for
two years as instructor of mathe-
matics.

Mr. Nelson, a member of the
Mathematics Association of Amer-
ica, comes to us "very highly re-
commended by the math depart-
ment at the University of Va.,"
says Dr. Alston.

Dr. Henry A. Robinson says
that Mr. Nelson is "young and un-
married." He wonders if this fact
will increase interest in "a dry
subject."

Editor's Note: This is the first
of a series of articles which will
be published to acquaint the stu-
dent body with the new men and
women who have accepted positions
on faculty for the 1961-62 college

Campaign Dinners

By JO ALLISON SMITH

"While the area dinners are
organized for the alumni and par-
ents of Agnes Scott students, they
are given mainly to set the cli-
mate for the campaign and bring
together these people so that they
can get to know each other," said
Mr. William French.

He also stated that the dinners
are given in a socially enjoyable
atmosphere; it is "strictly an Ag-
nes Scott evening" with a report
from Dr. Wallace Alston on Agnes
Scott College. The movie,
"Quest for Greatness," is shown.
"What we want to do is acquaint
the parents and alumni with the
on-going life of the undergrad-
uate," Mr. French stated.
Dinners Scheduled

at Thomasville, Ga., where Mrs.
Langdon S. Flowers is chairman.
The dinner was held at the Thom-

During his moderatorship, he
will visit as many parts of the
church as possible.

Dr. Paul Leslie Garber, professor
of Bible at Agnes Scott, com-
mented that Dr. Alston's new po-
sition is "not only an honor for
Dr. Alston, but also a recognition
of the college as being a valued
part of the life of the Presbyterian
Church."

Dr. Alston was born in Decatur.
Ga. and received his B.A. and M.A.
from Emory University and his
B.D. from Columbia Theological

Sensitive Discretion

There is probably no one group of students on campus
who gets more praise or more blame than the members of
Exec. There are those of us who would give anything to sit
on Exec as well as those who would not trade places for a
million dollars.

Upon election they are somewhat set apart;
they are generally expected to be influen-
tial examples of attitude and conduct. For
no one with any conscience could try the
cases of others if she had not scrupulously
herself kept the rules she was trying to en-
force.

It is unjust to believe that anyone could
derive any sort of delight from "sitting in
judgment." Yet rules are made and must be enforced by
someone, and on our campus, by administration-student
agreement, that "someone" is the member on Exec.

They soon realize that it is virtually impossible to try and
please everybody all the time; however, they have to as-
sume the responsibility for the unpopular as well as the
popular decisions.

These are their pressures and problems which all of us
who are not members should try to realize and appreciate.
Yet equally essential to any realization of mutual under-
standing is the effort by Exec members to visualize what
impression they might be creating for the ordinary citizens
of the campus. For it is human nature for one to be
slightly suspicious of a person in power to wait for any
show of hypocrisy or vanity.

They should take their jobs seriously but leave the solemn
faces and oppressive problems in the Exec room.

They are expected to realize the difference between cul-
tivating a sensitivity to the problems on campus and fer-
reting out rumored suspects; the first way is open and
above board and the second suggests a private eye type
of sensationalism.

The dream incident was an unfortunate jumping to con-
clusions a slip that could possibly cost Exec a loss in
prestige. Yet the mistake has been admitted and the respon-
sibility for it assumed.

There is indeed something wrong on this campus if the
incident involved within an innocent dream is lifted out of
context; yet there is also something just as wrong if we
cannot accept a human mistake and begin again the com-
mon effort. L.S.

Now Abideth Hate..

Hope is gone from today's world. Brotherhood is a trite and
worn expression. Unadulterated optimism is completely in
the loser's bracket.

The key to expression today is HATE Hate in its awful,
engulfing entirety. There is no cause to despair of a place
to deposit your hate: the world is literally teeming with
fresh. Charles Adams-like horrors.

Sixty-three million Jewish people
perished at the hands of one man. Fifteen
years later retrieve this man and hold
him and his German heritage up for scorn
before the eyes of the world. Do not dare
let the German people forget that one
mousey man exemplifies their nation.
Do not let the Jews forget that they are
a minority group who will suffer always for
their lineage. (Note: if you are an anti-
irticular trial was made to make you the cen-
ter of every conversation).

Every year millions of young people apply to state and
private institutions of higher education. This year we are
fortunate in that 63 Negroes have applied to universities
that are traditionally white.

We can hate these Negroes now for their audacity (hate
on a larger scale in this case must be directed to the
NAACP), and later we can throw rocks at the schools who
accept them. And on the subject of throwing rocks, don't
always express yourself verbally. Demonstrate your most
fervent opinions in a more animalistic fashion.

Russia is a most appropriate source of hate. We can hate
them in Laos, in Cuba, in China, in space, and we can look
forward with diabolic glee to the time when we can hate
them in our own back yard.

If neither Eichmann, the Negroes, nor Russia totally in-
volve you in hate, the glorious Southern states have a surety:
hate the North. We shall rise again. We shall double
the production of Confederate flags.

We shall force ourselves to be inspired at the trill of
"Dixie." We shall decorate all the downtown stores in
mercenary honor. A nation was torn; 25,000 men died: come
let us be' joyful. C.W.

After Seven

Three Shakespeare Plays
To Enrich Atlanta Theater

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Those members of the Agnes Scott College community
who plan to be in the Atlanta area this summer will be in-
terested to know that the South's first Shakespeare Festival
will be held at Emory University,

This Festival is being produced'
by the Academy Theatre, Atlanta's
professional resident acting com-
pany. They will present "King
Lear," "Richard II" and "As You
Like It" in repertory, opening July
18 and running through August
13

The Festival, one of the few that
exist in this country, will provide
for the people of this area an
exciting opportunity to participate
in a vital and stimulating program
of theatre. The plays to be per-
formed are probably the finest
example of Shakespeare's cre-
ative genius in tragedy, historical-
tragedy and comedy.

They will be performed on a
semi-circular, modified Elizabethan
stage projecting into the audience,
with seating arranged so that no
one will be more than 50 feet from
the performing area. Seating ca-
pacity of the theatre is 500.
Tickets

Ticket prices will be $1.75, $2.50

tion of racial prejudice.

Laos: The first official Laotian
peace talks collapsed in complete
disagreement, and the Communists
immediately launched a campaign
against pro-government guerilla
forces.

Washington: A round-the-clock
command post has been set up to
help President Kennedy deal fast-
er with such crises as those that
erupted in Cuba and Laos.

The Kennedy administration is
expected to pursue in the future
a new Cuban policy aimed at quar-
antining the Fidel Castro regime
and strengthening democratic gov-
ernments in the rest of Latin
America.

Cape Canaveral: It has been
estimated that each citizen of the
United States contributed $2.25
to A. B. Shepard's space flight.
How about a round trip ticket to
the Moon? This would be slightly
more expensive: $225 per citizen.

To Sleep, To Dream
Ah! There's The Rub

By ETHEL GILMOUR

This is a true story which happened about two weeks ago.
The names will not be used, to protect the innocent.

One night X had a dream. She
dreamed that she saw five fresh-
men walking up and down the hall
smoking. X went
up to them and
asked them to
stop. The girls
replied, "We
don't care." X
decided to scare
them to death
and pretended to
call the D.O.
p at this point and
was glad to find that it was only a
dream.

and $3.50 with students seats at
$1.50. Subscriptions, giving sub-
stantially reduced ticket prices,
may be purchased for $4.85, $7.00
and $9.50. Subscribers can either
designate immediately the nights
they would like to attend the per-
formances or wait and choose the
specific nights at a later date.

Ticket purchases and additional
information may be obtained by
writing the Academy Theatre at
1429 Peach tree Street, or calling
TR 4-6682.

The Academy Theatre, founded
and directed by Mr. Frank Wit-
tow, has been in operation since
1956. It was formed from a group
of advanced acting students
whose immediate objective was to
form a professional resident acting
company for the city of Atlanta.

The group has grown consider-
ably since that time and now en-
compasses a school of theatre and
art, two student acting groups, a
film series and the Academy
Theatre. The Academy has been
recognized as one of the most out-
standing and unique theatre or-
ganizations in the Southeast and
has become an integral part of
the community in which it op-
erates.

The next morning at breakfast
X was telling the dream to some
friends. They were laughing and
talking about it.

Someone happened to sit down
after the conversation was in full
\ . ing hearing only that some girls
were smoking.

"Only a Dream"

The. next afternoon X was in the
library studying. House President
and House President-elect accost-
ed her and took her to a secluded
place in the library.

They said, "An Exec member
has informed us that you saw
some freshmen smoking in the
dorm." X immediately smiled and
said, "It was a dream, only a
dream."

There is something wrong with
the atmosphere on this campus if
an innocent dream can get so
twisted.

We can all understand the heavy
responsibilities of Exec, but the
handbook says nothing about
dreams !

Reds in Cuba Pose Threat;
U.S. Loses Prestige Abroad

By DORIS SANDERS

On a small island just 90 miles from Key West, Florida, a
bearded dictator poses a major threat to the security of the
Western Hemisphere. After only 90 days in office, the Ken-
nedy Administration suffered a major setback. The invasion
of Cuba planned by the CIA ended in disgraceful failure.

The repercussions of the fiasco
were immediate and serious. Soviet
ed to set up ship-
ments of arms
and supplies to
Cuba.

For Castro, the
invasion provid-
ed new ammuni-
tion for propa-
genda which he
exp'oited fully in
televised inter-
views with his exile-prisoners.

The anti-Castro exiles are dis-
illusioned. Several hundred troops
remain out of the entire force
which participated ifi the invasion.
Due to a split in leadership their

future in uncertain.

The United States suffered a
blow to prestige comparable to
the U-2 incident 1-st year. On the
domestic scene, the episode has
t>i fo gered two investigations ,oie
in Congress and enc within the
Administration.

In Washington, the situation is
considered volatile and cannot be
permitted to continue.

The questions remains: How
can Communist subversion in this
hemisphere and throughout the
world be met?

With a Communist nation at
its doorstep, the United States
faces one of the gravest problems
in recent years.

Initiation Ceremony

Fourteen seniors were initiated
into Phi Beta Kappa, Agnes Scott
Beta of Georgia Chapter, at 5:30
p.m. Tuesday in a formal ceremony
in the lower dining hall.

The initiates were guided into
the ceremony by Runita McCurdy
Goode, '59. They signed the chap-
ter book in which every Agnes
Scott member of the national
honorary has written her name
since 1926.

Following the initiation, the new
members were honored at a ban-
quet in the faculty dining room by
faculty and alumnae members.

"Some Impressions of Higher Ed-
ucation in Brazil."

some word has leaked out. Rumor
says that the opera will be an
ancient medieval legend re-en-
acted and brought refreshingly to
life by the senior class.

Hundreds will participate in this
night of knights that has taken a
lifetime in production. Many
senior celebrities are offering their
dramatic and musical talents to
the opera.

Included in the star-studded
cast are such well-known actresses
as Pete Brown. Paula Wilson,
Brock Hanna and Alice Frazer.

Others are Lucy Davis, Nancy
Hughes, Martha Lambeth and that
perennial favorite, Ramona Cart-
wright.

A 50-cent ticket will insure a
night of excitement, stirring mu-
sic and fun, says Opera Chairman
Ann Ashford.

Tennis Courts See Action
During Tournament Bouts

By MARY LOUISE LAIRD

"Tennis anyone?" This is as familiar phrase at Agnes Scott
this spring. Old-timers tell us that there has been a genuine
revival of the sport. The inhabitants of dorms, cottages, the
library and the Hub seem to have moved to the tennis courts.

One may give the credit for
the growing popularity of tennis
to the publicity boost given it by
the Tennis Club. Nancy Higgins
and Molly Snead, the president
and the manager, are to be con-
gratulated. It's hard to encourage
strenuous exercise on such warm,
lazy days as these!

Among the members of the
club are such outstanding players
as Betsy Dalton, Ann Thomas
and Ann Hutchinson. The mem-
bers play matches of two out of
three sets. The winners advance
to higher positions on the club's
ladder.

Matches with Emory and
other colleges were planned
but could not be suitably ar-
ranged. Maybe they had heard
of our tennis stars!
On campus the Tennis Club is

currently participating in the

Open Doubles Tournament which

ends May 17, Community Day. At

that time the finals are to be

played and the trophies awarded

to the winners.

The club owes thanks to two
important helpers. Miss Kate Mc-
Kemie is an enthusiastic player
who combines comedy With
prowess on the court.

Her rendition of "Over the riv-
er and through the woods" is sup-
posed to be excellent. Her skill
is exhibited in the fact that she
recently scored a smashing vic-
tory over Sally Blomquist.

The second helper is the auto-
matic ball thrower. The players
find it very helpful for practic-
ing when the courts are full or
when everyone is in lab.
The Tennis Club has certainly
boosted the tennis enthusiasm on
campus. Everyone should be sure
to be present for the Doubles
Tournament finals on May 17.

Commencement Speeches

Seniors Await
Final Festivities

By BECKY VICK

Having accented the academic
side of life for the greater part of
the past four years, the seniors
will begin June 1, the last senior
exam day, to place emphasis on re-
laxation.

Among the events on the agen-
da for their last few days is the
class picnic at Fritz Orr's which
will be held June 1.

The next event connected with
graduation will be class day on
June 3. This will be held in the
May Day Dell. As has been the
tradition, the sophomore class
will make and carry the daisy
chain as the seniors proceed
with them from Inman Dorm to
the Dell.

The program for class day will
consist of an official welcome to
the parents and guests of the
graduates, the presentation of the
gifts to the school from the class
and the recognition of the perma-
nent class officers. These presen-
tations will be made by Nancy
Stillman, senior class president.
- Senior Skit

The other part of the program
will be a skit presented by the
senior class. The skit will be com-
posed of scenes from the past
four years which will be re-enacted
and will be based primarily on
Eloise with a Greek chorus.

When the class day program
ends, the sophomores will give the
daisy chain to their sister class
and the seniors will carry it back
to the quadrangle where they will
sing class songs.

This same evening a music pro-
gram will be given at 8 p.m. At
the termination of this program
the traditional "Book Burning"
will take place in front of Main.

Book Burning

The seniors will gather in groups
according to their majors and will
burn old class notes making up
and singing rhymes as they do so.

Then the seniors with the juniors
will proceed to the patio between
Buttrick and Presser Halls where
the rising seniors will be capped
by the out-going senior class
at last receiving their seniority.

Describing the impressive cere-
mony in which only juniors and
seniors are allowed to participate,
Nancy Stillman said, "It is indeed
a very meaningful ceremony to
both juniors and seniors."

The day ends when the seniors
leave for the main quadrangle
where they again sing together.
Senior Vespers

On June 4 at 5 p.m. following
the Baccalaureate address, the
traditional senior vespers will be
held in Maclean Auditorium lead
by Nancy Batson.

Following vespers a dinner will
be given for guests of the college
and directly following this event
a coffee is to be given for the
group by Dr. and Mrs. Wallace
Alston in Rebekah Reception
Room.

Dr. Marcel Pradervand, D. D., and Mr. Eugene R. Black,
President of the International Bank for Reconstruction and
Development, will speak at graduation functions, June 4 and 6.

that the Agnes Scott community
is especially fortunate in receiving
the opportunity to make his
acquaintance.

Community Accepts
Lower House Gifts

Lower House culminated their
year's activities with their gift to
the community this morning in
convocation.

The presentation consisted of a
three-piece tea set, two circular
sandwich trays, a compote and two
pairs of candlesticks. The silver
will be used for the various social
functions of the campus, such as
the Christmas party and receptions
for visiting lecturers.

Lower House has also presented
checks to Athletic Association and
Social Council. A.A. is planning to
use their money to decorate the

Allen Urges Class Spirit
In Planning 1961 Black Cat

"Black Cat is one of the most
important events to set the spirit
for the coming year. We are going

Black Cat festivities on Friday,
October 13.

Sophomore Virginia Allen, Black Cat Chairman for 1961, goes over
plans and committee lists in preparation for next fall's big event.
Virginia has stated that the major emphasis of the Black Cat
production will be placed upon achieving a good intra-class co-
operative spirit.

A Pyhrric Victory

On May 3, 1961, white flags of truce dotted the villages
throughout the Asian country of Laos. What will probably
prove to be the most significant Civil War of the 1960's was
at an end; the Pathet Lao Communist Forces and the
Western-backed Royal Laotian army met to discuss ways of
enforcing the new ceasefire in Laos.

This day which would seem to be the
answer to Western prayers unfortunately
seems bleak in retrospect.

The armed warfare is over for awhile
at least and the fourteen nation conclave
in Geneva to decide the fate of Laos is tak-
ing place as scheduled. Yet, at best, this is
a Pyhrric victory for the West.

Because of its position on a geographi-
cal powder keg wedged in by China,
Thailand, Cambodia, South Viet Nam and Communist
North Viet Nam, the resolution of the issue at stake in
Laos casts a shadow across the face of the world.
For having gained inroads into Laos, the Communists can
next move into the last few Western outposts in the Far
East. Thailand already reports increased Communist infil-
tration on its northeast frontier and the precarious neutrali-
ty maintained by Cambodia verges on toppling.

The American citizen has the right to question our policy
concerning Laos. For example, why in recent years when
reports have filtered in of Communist-led seizures of men
and foodstuffs of village headmen assassinated for "co-
operating with the imperialists" has our nation showed
only token disapproval?

What price must we pay for our present cold war brand
of peace? Will we be scourged later for having paid only
lip-service to our image as the "Great Defender of the
Downtrodden'?
In the United States we are engaged in the Centennial
celebration of the American Civil War. It is extremely ironic
that in Laos, a country just twice the size of Pennsylvania,
there was a Civil War in our own times which went com-
paratively unnoticed here.

The United States remembers the Civil War of the
1860's but everything seems to indicate that the entire
world of the future will remember Laos.
The white flags of truce in the Laotian villages as seen
through even the most objective eyes are black flags of
mourning for America and the West.

Tine Today, Thanks!'
Greets Each Hubite

By ETHEL GILMOUR

"Hello, Eva" . . . "Fine today" . . . "Eva, have you seen my
green raincoat?" . . . "Yes'um, I hung it up for you on that
chair." . . . "Hu-um you girls sure are messy."

Whether we are messy or not

our Eva has kept coming back
for ten years
now. Funny how
we are around
Eva, nod to her,
say a good morn-
ing to her, appre-
ciate and love
her yet most
of us know no-
thing else about
it we sense her
quiet cheerfulness as she moves
around the Hub.

Eva Louis was born in Ala-
bama, raised in Monroe, Ga. and
was married in Atlanta. Today
she lives close to the school, which
enables her to walk back and
forth to work.

New House
If anyone has noticed a special
gleam in Eva's eye lately, there's
a reason. She and her husband,
Mr. Louis, are planning to build
a new home. "This is really some-
thing." says Eva, M 'Cause there
will be two bedrooms, a living
room, bath room and modem
kitchen."

But the new house will be
pretty far from school and Eva
says that now she will have to
ride the "ole bus." "I ll be able to
make it though." says Eva. "to
sec my girls in the Hub."

Eva has a pet bird which is
quite a character. "The bird, he
just loves the radio, isn't that

funny, if you don't turn it up loud
in the morning he just hollars. I
guess anything you start you have
to keep up."

Sneaky Smokers
"Way back something happened
in this school so excitable when
the girls could come up on the
first floor of the Hub and smoke,
you see they were only allowed to
smoke in the basement, so crowd-
ed, just awful.

"They were kind of embarrassed
for anybody to see them smoking,
so they would sneak around. They
would leave out the back way and
walk down the road so people
would think they had been in the
library."

As you will remember during
the election Eva wore a Nixon pin
and a Kennedy pin. I finally got
the courage to ask Eva who she
was really for.

"Oh me, well Til tell you at first
I wanted Nixon, but I hopped over
and joined Kennedy in the end.
George, my husband, wanted Ken-
nedy and he would talk, talk, talk-
about it so you see."

If anyone wants it to be "fine
today" see Eva. for she has much
to give.

Dear Editor:

Those who enjoy sewing in their
extra time are rather hindered to
say the very least. I cannot see
any possible reason for equipment,
such as a sewing machine, to be
abused and left in such ruin.

One may try to sew, but it is all
one can do to collect the decrepit
miscellaneous parts, none of which
seem to belong to a single machine.

Recently a student was endeavor-
ing to sew a little but the hour
was spent fighting the machine in
order to keep the thread from be-
ing snapped in two by the jerk of
the presserfoot which does not even
belong to the machine.

Please, for those who enjoy sew-
^-Vqt can be done?

Anna Belle Freeman

Dear Editor,

If you had a choice, would you
choose an intimate friendship, or
would you prefer one which might
be less intimate but would be more
broadening to your personality?

This is the question everyone
is asking in view of the proposal
to mix the classes next year in
dorm-life.

It is agreed that integration
within the dorms would promote a
greater harmony between the
classes ,but it would also detract
from class spirit. Which would be
more valuable in the end result?

If there is a lack of inter-class
fellowship now, it seems as though
an even greater problem will arise
concerning the lack of unity of the
individual classes.

Another source of conflict will
lie in the communion of two class-
es which are both encountering
growing pains and problems of
adjustment. The seniors are stabli-
zing to both the freshmen and the
sophomores, but I am afraid I
wouldn't have lasted through
winter quarter of my freshman
year if I had been viewing the
sophomore slump too closely.

There is also the consideration
that one's deepest and most mean-
ingful friendships result from asso-
ciating with people with whom one
has the most in common and with
whom one can share the same
experiences and growth.

Of course one would live in very
narrow existence if one were to
limit friendships to one's own class,
but the Hub provides a golden op-
portunity for broadening friend-
ships if we would only take greater
advantage of it.

A Sophomore

Oealousyitus'

A highly contagious disease is rampant on the Agnes
Scott Campus. Each day it claims more victims and unless
treatment is begun immediately, the consequences of this
crippling disease will be tragic.

Diagnosis of this illness is virtually im-
possible until it has reached the advanced
stages, for the symptoms are easily confused
with those of other diseases.

Nor are the symptoms consistent from per-
son to person for the disease affects each of
its victims in a different way.

Only the end result, total incapacita-
tion of the individual's mind, is always
the same.

Symptoms are usually noticed after a big quiz or paper.
A tensing of the muscles around the mouth causes a forced
smile which lasts for several days and disappears when the
work has been graded and returned to the class.

The smile then becomes a sullen expression which gains
intensity as the victim of the disease compares her grade
with those of her classmates.

After all the grades are known (Note: persons infected
with this disease become very adept at finding out the
exact number of A's and B's made on a particular quiz)
the disease spreads to the vocal chords, making it abso-
lutely impossible for the individual to speak without being
sarcastic or derogatory.

These are only the usual forms taken by symptoms.
Some variation may be expected. For example symtom
three may appear as a peculiar whinning quality in the voice
which is evident when the victim of our disease is congratu-
lating a friend on her A.

After the appearance of this last symptom, the disease
soon reaches its peak and from here on out the individual
slowly loses her mental ability. Rationalization replaces rea-
son.

The most common form of rationalization is the "poor
high school preparation" bit, but "unfair professors" and
"Well, she spends 12 hours a day in the library" run a close
second.

And after its first crippling, throughout the individual's
college caree Infectious jealousitis strikes again and again.
What was once a promising student with normal mental
limitations and her own particular talents becomes a biting,
sarcastic shrew who worries so much about her class-
mates' grades that she cannot work to her capacity.
The only cure known for this disease is intellectual hon-
esty. When the victim admits that she is average (which for
some strange reason is a dirty work on this campus) and
when she honestly tries to find joy in the good performance
of a friend, she is on her way to recovery.

We who suffer from it now and do nothing about it will
in a few short years be the women who nag our husbands
to f?et a car a little bigger than the one next door and who
will find our greatest satisfaction in life through cutting
an acquaintance to ribbons across the bridge table. M.W.

Alston To Announce Winners
Of Three Awards Wednesday

Three of the annual Agnes Scott awards will be presented
f o students next week at the final convocation of this
school year. On Wednesday, May 24, the recipients of the
George P. Hayes Debate Trophy, the Harley R. Kimmel
Award and the McKinney Book Award will be announced
by President Wallace M. Alston during the chapel program.

The George P. Hayes Debate

Trophy will be awarded to the
student who has been judged the
best debater of the year.

Established five years ago by
Mrs. A. Preston Mcintosh and
Mrs. Larry E. Pedrick, two Agnes
Scott alumnae debaters, the de-
bate trophy is given in order to
encourage student debating.

While students at Agnes Scott,
Mrs. Mcintosh and Mrs. Pedrick
helped to establish intercollegiate
debates, in which the school now
participates.

A committee of non-partisan
faculty members choose the stu-
dent most deserving this award.
Although established as an an-
nual award, the debate trophy
was not presented last year due to
absence of participation in the in-
tercollegiate debates.

The Harley R. Kimmel award

will be presented to the member
of Blackfriars who has made the
most outstanding contribution to
a Blackfriars production this year.
Eligibility for this award does not
necessitate an acting role in a
production.

This award was established by
Nancy Kimmel, a 1958 graduate
of Agnes Scott, in memory of her
father.

The McKinney Book Award will
be given to the student who, in the
opinion of the judges, has acquired
during the current year the most
interesting and discriminating per-
sonal library and who reveals a
real understanding of her books.

As well as presenting these
three awards next Wednesday
morning, Dr. Alston will speak to
the student body of this past year
in retrospect.

be the Graduation Issue on 1

Principle Versus Prestige:
U.S. In Sacrificial Position

By DORIS SANDERS

On May 5, 1961, a 37-year-old American test pilot named
Alan B. Shepard, Jr. soared 115 miles above the earth.
America's Political prestige, ^ a Qf ]x wee ^ Wash

ington plans to send another astro
naut into space followed by c
third somewhat later.

No Sacrifice of Principle

At least three astronauts with
suborbital experience are needed
One will be chosen for the first
around-the-world shot the U.
hopes to launch late this year.

America proved that success in
space can be gained without the
sacrifice of national principles and
human life.

technological reputation and a hu-
man life depended upon the suc-
cess of the flight.

Just 23 days before, Major
Yuri Gagarin, in a 5-ton spaceship
called the Vol-
stok, had made
an orbital flight
around the
world.
"More a Pilot"
The United
States recog-
nized that what-
ever success was
gained, the mission would fall far
short of the record set by Gagarin.

At any rate a precedent was
established in that Shepard was
more a pilot than a passenger.

During his short stay in space,
Commander Shepard read aloud
dials and gauges on his instrument
panel, put the spaceship through a
series of attitude maneuvers and
stayed in constant communication
with Cape Canaveral.

Influence on Prestige
Upon his return, Shepard was
congratulated, questioned and
decorated.

What will the first successful
American venture into space mean
for United States prestige?

After Seven

Peachtree Theatres Offer
'Final Fling Entertainment

By LYNNE LAMBERT

As another school year draws to a close the need for "a
last fling" before buckling down to exams characterizes the
feelings of most students. The question arises as to how
this need is to be met during these last few weeks. The usual
and instinctive reaction is to turn to Peachtree Street for a
solution.

Still playing at the Rialto is
The Alamo which is a picture
every patriotic American, young
or old, should
not miss.

The gallant de-
fense of the Ala-
mo against the
Mexican forces
of General Santa
Anna in 1836 has
been a sincerely
human tribute.
Leaders Colonel William Travis
(Lawrence Harvey), Davy Croc-
kett (John Wayne) and Jim
Bowie (Richard Widmark) are
characterized with human senti-
ment and serious debate.

Fine Art Theatre
Further down the street at the
Fine Art The Trapp Family is
currently showing. This is the
heartwarming story of the Aus-
trian family which led to the cre-
ation of The Sound of Music. This
is the family which escaped from
the Nazis and established them-
selves in this country as a sing-
ing troupe.

The merit of the film lies in the
beautiful music and the appeal of
the children rather than in char-
acter portrayal or general plot.

On the more sordid side we may
choose Return To Peyton Place at
the Rialto. Based on Grace Metali-
ous' new novel of the same name,
it is a sequel to the original Pey-
ton Place and the same charac-
ters are portrayed by a different

cast.

Metalious Sequel

Noteworthy performances are
given by Carol Lynley as Allison,
Mary Astor as the oppressive
mother, and Tuesday Weld,
who shows potential of becom-
ing as fine an actress, as Selena.

If not inspiring, this is an en-
tertaining movie, and the beauti-
ful New England countryside is
vividly photographed in each of
the four seasons for added effect.

Leaving Peachtree Street we
find that Georgia Tech has pro-
vided for a real relief from the
drudge of studies by scheduling
the annual I. F. C. Greek Week
festivities for the weekend of
final exams (May 25-28).

Greek Week Festivities

Special features to be enjoyed
are the street dances on Friday
night, a Saturday afternoon con-
cert by "The Limelighters" to be
followed that evening by a formal
dance in the Coliseum at which
time the Greek Goddess will be
crowned.

Finally, for those who enjoy an
occasional escape into the night-
club world, The Bayou is current-
ly featuring Joe Stanwood, star
of the Gary Moore Show plus
Dixieland jazz with Ralph Mayes
and the Peachtree Strutters.

With such material to choose
from, working up a final fling
should not prove to be too diffi-
cult a task for anyone.

NEWS of the WEEK
in Brief

By LYN HORN

Hollywood: Gary Cooper died of
cancer last Saturday. The 60-year-
old movie star was the winner
of two Academy Awards.

Manila: Vice President L. B.
Johnson said that the United
States is prepared to go it alone
if necessary to halt further Com-
munist expansion in Southeast
Asia.

Laos: The warring factions in
Laos signed a formal cease-fire
and set up political talks that may
help resolve the East-West tangle
on who will speak for Laos at the
Geneva Conference.

Students Greet Kennedy,
Respond To His Challenge

By SARAH ADAMS

Attorney General Robert Kennedy's speech at the Uni-
versity of Georgia Saturday was more than a frank state-
ment of the civil rights position of the Justice Department;
it was charged with a challenge for college students to ac-
cept the moral responsibility essential for the survival of
our way of life.

During his civil rights statement
he commended the people of Geor-
gia on their progress in the in-
tegration problem shown in the in-
tegration of the University and in
the Atlanta decision which will go
into effect in September.

He pointed out the necessity of
a peaceful working out of future
problems because of their effect on
prestige abroad.

'La Camelota' Receives
Top Reviews Of Critics

Reviewed By SUSAN KEITH-LUCAS

The Scottropolitan Opera Company, composed of mem-
bers of the senior class, presented the world premiere last
Friday night of La Camelota which is destined to become a
world favorite.

From the entrance of the con-
ductor to the final curtain, the
audience was extremely respon-

sive to the music and actors.

The orchestra showed its great
abilities under the capable direc-
tion of Miss Betty Bellune, who
led it with sensitivity and a some-
what flambouyant grace.

In the first act Ellen Hines as
the Black Knight and Pete Brown
as Dedreau begin their contest
for the extremely lovely Princess
Eloise, played by Anne Pollard.
Ferocious Frazer
The brave Knights then go out
to bring back the head of the
fire-breathing dragon, ferociously
played by Alice Frazer, who
guards the precious treasure
hoard.

With the aid of seven-league
boots and the magic sword Excali-
ber piercingly enacted by Martha
Lambeth, and following the direc-
tions of Merlin, enchantingly done
by Anne Peagler, Dedreau and his
encouraging squire Renthreau,
played by Paula Wilson, capture
the deadly dragon and bring her
back alive.

The king, Anne Modi in, de-
crees that there must be a joust
between Dedreau and the Black
Knight since the dragon has been
disqualified because of her vi-
tality.

The Good Prevails

With the aid of his squire,
Dedreau fights bravely and suc-
ceeds in "de-moating" the Black
Knight.

In the finale the whole cast joins
in the celebration of the coming

marriage.

The performance was followed
by a formal procession of the
company, singing an aria, which
was greeted with great applause.
Marable and High
During the intermission the in-
ternationaly famous duo of Nina
Marable and Sarah Helen High
awed the audience with their su-
perb rendition of an operatic take
off on Pagliacci.

Among the audience were sev-
eral celebrities of Atlanta society.
Miss Kate McKemie coyly scanned
the audience through her opera
glasses, while Miss Kathryn Man-
uel stunned the assembly with her
Paris coiffure.

Seats in the orchestra were re-
served for understudies of the
cast.

Frosh Reserve Hub
For Thursday Party

The Hub will be reserved for
freshmen tomorrow night between
10 and 11 when they have their
class party.

Sue Aspinall is in charge of pre-
paring a skit to be presented about
this year's freshman class.

Refreshments will consist of
donuts, furnished by the class, and
other food and drinks available in
the Hub. Adelaide Hutto is head of
the food committee. Jeanne
Whitaker, Ginger McCutchen and
Kay Gerald are members of the
advertising committee and Marsha
Adams is head of the "reconstruc-
tion committee."

Chaperone Leigh Mattox prepares to escort two "first-nighters/'
Doris Sanders and Lelia Jones, to the Senior Opera last Friday
night.

Constitutional Office

He also stated, "I hold a con-
stitutional office of the United
States Government, and I shall
perform the duty I have sworn to
undertake to enforce the law, in
every field of law and every
region."

He called law "the glue that
holds civilization together ... If
we disagree with a court decision
and, thereafter, irresponsibly assail
the court and defy its rulings, we
challenge the foundations of our
society."

On the controversial civil rights-
moral rights conflict Kennedy said
Simply, "History has recorded many
occasions when the moral sense of
a nation produced judicial deci-
sions."

Kennedy made several state-
ments which Scott students found
especially relevant to their own
situations.

One with an echo of the past
was, "The events of the last few
weeks have demonstrated that the
time has long since passed when
the people of the United States can
be apathetic about their belief and
respect for the law and about the
necessity of placing our own house
in order.

Attitude Changes

"Our system depends upon the
fullest participation of all its
citizens." He demanded "basic atti-
tude changes" concerning tolera-
tion of the "cheap philosophy that
everything is a racket."

Thus every person involved in a
shady deal which walks on the
borders of the letter of the law
while totally disregarding the spirit
of the law "damages the free enter-
prise system in the eyes of the
world and does a disservice to the
millions of honest Americans in all
walks of life."

In the closing moments of his
speech the Attorney General thrust
forth the challenge: "For on this
generation of Americans falls the
full burden of proving to the world
that we really mean it when we
say all men are created free and
are equal before the law.

"All of us might wish at times
that we lived in a more tranquil
world, but we don't. And if our
times are difficult and perplexing,
so are they challenging and filled
with opportunity."

Students from the University of
Georgia commented on the force-
fulness and forthrightness of
Kennedy's statement and were par-
ticularly impressed with the im-
pact of his personality.

McKinney Prize Honors
Owner Of Book Collection

By BARBARA WHITE

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 philosopher to that of the biologist. 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 to
the Agnes Scott student who, in
the opinion of the judges, acquires
during the current year from May
to May the most interesting and
discriminating personal library and
who reveals real understanding of
her books.

Miss McKinney believes "a love
of reading is one of the most valu-
able things one can acquire." Dur-
ing her years of teaching, Miss Mc-
Kinney awakened in many Agnes
Scott students a love of reading
and a delight in the ownership of
books.

The collection may be in one
field or may cover several fields
of interest such as the sciences,
history, philosophy, biography,
fiction, 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 is expected to
give evidence of the collector's own
initiative and discriminating choice.

Job Opportunities

Under their direction, students
last week visited different busi-
ness offices in Atlanta and investi-

uates of a liberal arts college.

A group of about 12 girls went
to Rich's on Wednesday, May 10.
About the same number visited

ployed, on Friday.

All those who participated in
the visits will be asked to evalu-
ate the program, according to
Miss Murphy, to aid the vocational
guidance committee in completing
plans for next year.

This is the first year that such
a program has been undertaken.
In previous years, career coffees

coffees students had an oppor-
tunity to talk with people who
were experts in their respective
fields.

The Immortal Eloise

Today after the final graduation festivities are over, the
campus will nestle down into its "long summer's nap."

The Dean's staff will complete the tedious work of match-
ing roommates 'and planning with the Orientation Commit-
tee for the arrival of the Class of 1965 next fall.

Life here can be expected to go on at the
same hectic pace next year. Yet for those
of us who will step into vacated shoes there
will remain the responsibility for replacing
"the spirit of '61."

For Eloise and her fun-loving com-
panions will have vacated the "Plaza" to
take up residence throughout the world.
Dr. Alston has said many times that each
class has a unique personality of its own.
Perhaps it may be said of the seniors that their Eloise has set
the effervescing spirit of '61.

Pranks, taking in la flick during finals week, the perennial
skits revolving around Valentine and her Chaucerian parents
(regardless of what the Black Oat theme is), laughter in the
Hub, the smell of burning "midnight oil" from their rooms
all this is indicative of the irresponsible spirit of the class.
Yet the Eloise we know also aces those impossible Hayes'
objectives and does prize-winning research in chemistry and
psychology. She finesses quizes until the last moment to
work on an all-campus Junior Jaunt charity effort.
She has been known to give advice about everything from
transfering to the Ethics of Kant to mystified underclassmen.

In all that ^he has done, she has led with contagious en-
thusiasm.

We joke about the now-trite phrase, "the campus com-
munity," but now, more than at any other time, we realize
its truth. No one of us would want life as we have known
it here to remain static; yet graduation is a bittersweet
experience.

Any attempt to express our deeper appreciation too often
results in some brand of sticky sentimentality. Therefore,
we close with a feeling rather than with inadequate words.

L.B.S.

Our Unique Bond

One of the most rewarding aspects of college life is the
faculty-student fellowship. Recently, several upperclassmen
were asked to give their reasons for not transferring.

One of the first reasons given by each of them was appre-
ciation_for the friendship with the faculty.

There are many things which enter into
such a relationship, one of which isn't
"apple polishing."

It is indeed a shame, for both student and
professor, when a student refrains from ask-
ing a question or making a comment for fear
of being misinterpreted.

Faculty members are certainly capable of
distinguishing interest in people from in-
terest in grades.
"Apple polishing' was not the rewarding aspect of faculty-
student relations to which the panel discussion referred.
And it is not a feeling which makes a faculty mem-
ber "one of the gang."

The relationship is that between the student and the pro-
fessor which involves respect and 'admiration for one in
authority. It is an additional learning experience for the
student.

The student at Agnes Scott is fortunate in that there is
a relatively sm'all barrier between faculty and students to
begin with.

Even this usually disappears when the student shows
a real interest in learning and in being criticized.

Faculty members usually know students' names after a
week in class, and office hours are posted urging girls to
drop by for conferences. The freshmen are encouraged to
the extent of assigned conference periods.

During the freshman and sophomore years the student
selects a faculty advisor. The juniors and seniors work closely
with their major professors. A small college facilitates
student-faculty friendships.

Seeing faculty members in the Hub and eating in the
student dining hall, exchanging smiles when passing, cor-
responding with students during vacation and after grad-
uation, are ample examples of what is meant by "reward-
ing" student-faculty relationships. I. J.

Queen, having
the quarter
back's high
school ring on a
string, Secretary
of Future Home
Makers of Amer-
ica, flute player
in the school band and her zenith:
senior superlative, "Most Likely
To Succeed") now really why
should she go to Agnes Scott?

"But Mother" . . . "No dear,
U.N.C. is out" . . . "But why?"
. . . "Some day you will under-
stand, dear."

Crinolines and Lipstick
So she arrives at Agnes Scott
with five crinolines showing and
a faint print of applied lipstick
(for the puritan impression).

After waiting in line to find out
that she too has something to
give Agnes Scott, up she goes to
meet her roommate. And there she
is big as life, Sally Sue from TyTy,
Ga.

Sally Sue and the subject of our
story trade their crinolines for
McMullin blouses, pleated skirts
and battered sneaks, and enter
their sophomore year.

Sophomore Courage

This was a year of courage, for
Sally Sue and our subject entered
the Hub, lighted a cigarette and
drank a coke. And in place of a
ring on a! string comes a pin.

With three-fourths of the soph-
omore class gone (including Sally
Sue), our subject returns. The
odds in her favor she now has an
office. Vice President in charge of
refreshments at Black Cat.

Pin having been returned, her
eyes are alert at the big Black
Cat Dance. Ahh, there she meets
him: weegins, green corduroy
suit, blond crew-cut, the real all
American boy.

Thus her junior year is spent in
a complete whirl, fraternity par-
ties, football games and mass
goodnights under the Agnes Scott
lights.

Spring Revelation

In the spring she suddenly
realizes that he has no philosophi-
cal thoughts and substance is
lacking beneath the blond crew-
cut, green corduroy suit and wee-
gins.

The next year she returns, an
ember. Senior year is spent in the
Hub, in the Grill. Watsons and at
the Decatur flick.

Somewhere along the way she
does meet a boy who abounds in
philosophical thought and sub-
stance, although he does lack the
weegins. Oddly enough this no

be desperation?

Same Song

And so we leave our subect with
her BA clutched madly in one
hand and that Philosophical Sub-
stance in the other.

One generation later our sub-
ject has a prospective student, and
we hear a familiar conversation,
"But why Agnes Scott, Mother?"
. . . "Someday you will understand,
dear."

all honors by winning the Ath-
letic Cup. This year the seniors
have added the Spirit Cup to their
stack of honors.

Academically, the seniors have
always done well. They have been
well-represented on the Honor
Roll, and this year they have two
Fulbright Scholars, Anne Broad
and Judy Clark Brandeis.

Their junior year they won the
coveted Scholarship Trophy.

The senior class has been most
outstanding in the annual Black
Cat functions. Their freshman
year they added to the list of
favorite campus songs the "Col-
lege that Spreads its Campus."

Their sophomore year they won
the song competition with "All
Standing Proud." The same year
they also won the Sweepstakes
and the skit competition.

"Truth We Seek with Youthful
Mind" was the junior year con-
tribution. "Our Spirits High"
placed second in the song com-
petition for the present year.

Internationally Speaking

Critical International Scene:
Struggle, 'War 7 Mar World

By DORIS SANDERS

Throughout the academic year 1960-1961, events on the
international scene have been numerous and threatening. A
brief review of the major crises merits consideration.

A consistent aim of the Soviet

Union has been the seating of
Communist China in the United
Nations.

In the fall of
I960, that goal
was nearly
reached as 34
nations voted for
the admission of
| Red China, with
only 42 votes
against the reso-
lution and 22
abstentions.
What seems to have been a tac-
tical victory for the Soviet Union
may be, in reality, a danger to
her position as the leader of
world communism.

Ideological War
A significant ideological battle
divides the two nations. "Inevi-
table war" versus "peaceful co-
existence" threatens to split
Russia from her militaristic pro-
tege, Red China.

If the rift between Peking and
Moscow continues to widen, Com-
munist China could emerge as a
third and dangerously aggressive
power.

Congo Crisis

Strife in the Congo has consti-
tuted one of the major crises of
the year.

Russia seized upon the murder
of Patrice Lumumba, key figure
in the Congo, to stir the Com-
munist world and hammer away
at the very heart of the U. N.

Slowly but surely the Soviets
have strived to wreck or rule the
U. N. vetoes. Refusal of financial
support and the vicious attack on
Secretary-General Dag Ham-
marskjold represent a few of the
varied subversive Russian tactics.
Laotian Struggle

The Laotian struggle holds a

world, for Laotian civil strife has
become the focus of the cold war.

World observers feel that the
U. S. has suffered a major set-
back in Laos.

The ultimate outcome of the
struggle could well determine the
whole trend of relations between
Communist nations and the free
world.

Scientific Battle

In April, the United States was
again beaten by the U. S. S. R. in
one of the greatest scientific
achievements in man's history.

Unfortunately, disappointment
and panic seem to have been the
chief reactions among the ma-
jority of Americans.

American hopes received a sig-
nificant boost when on May 5,
1961, a 37-year-old American test
pilot named Alan B. Shepard, Jr.
soared 115 miles above the earth.

The U. S. proved that progress
in space can be achieved without
a sacrifice of national principles
and human life.

Eichmann Trial

In Israel, Adolf Eichmann, for-
mer lieutenant colonel of the
Gestapo and head of its Jewish
Affairs Section, stands accused of
the mass murder of six million
European Jews during World War

n.

The dilemma of the balding Ger-
man in the bullet-proof glass box
continues to influence internation-
al policy and opinion.

Cuban Threat

Finally, the situation in Cuba
threatens U. S. security. After the
failure of the invasion planned
by the CIA, the U. S. suffered a
great loss of prestige.

As the international scene con-
tinues to darken, the United
States faces some of the most

longer seems important. Could this deep significance for the free serious problems in its history.

Student Opinion Favors
New Agnes Scott Song

By MARIANE WURST

A "new Agnes Scott song" was introduced to the college
community by the seniors in convocation May 24.

Dr Alston stated that this was not a new Alma Mater,
but the general consensus among students is that if the song
should take hold on campus and win the approval of alum-
nae and the Board of Trustees, it could well replace the
present Alma Mater.

To find out just what students
thought of the new song, the News
conducted a "girl in the Hub" poll.
Senior Mary Taylor Liscomb said:
"I love it. It's tasteful and digni-
fied."

Betsy Patterson agreed that the
song has dignity but added, 'The
parts are a little difficult, and
that might take away from the
singability of the song."

Ann Middlemas and Sharon At-
kins, juniors, both think the song
is beautiful, but doubt if it will
ever become the Alma Mater. Ann
objected to the Latin verses and
Sharon said, "There's just not
enough Agnes Scott in the song
to make it catch on as our Alma
Mater."

Sophomores Cornelia Bryant
and Nona Pendleton has this to
say. Nona: "It's all right, but I
don't like the Latin." Corny: "I
think it's a great improvement
over; former school songs, But it's
too repetitious not enough
variety."

Freshman Judy Elsroth said she
likes the song very much, "but
not for an Alma Mater." and
Andrea Lanier commented, "With-
out the seniors' singing it, it
wouldn't have anything at all."

awarded at the Community Picnic.

A A Gives Spirit Cup
To Seniors At Picnic

By MARY LOU LAIRD

The Community Picnic, sponsored by Athletic Association
on May 17, climaxed a very active sports year at Agnes
Scott. Outstanding interest was displayed by students not
only in familiar sports such as basketball but also in differ-
ent ones such as soccer.

Awards were given at the pic-
nic to the girls and classes who
excelled in certain areas of ath-
letics. The seniors
received the
Sportsman -
ship Cup, thus
proving that our
seniors 1 are not
only well-en-
dowed academ-
ically but that
they are Sports
to boot!

Looking at the other end of the
ladder, the freshmen copped the
Athletic Cup. Of course, this
achievement proved that "the
young-uns has always got the
bestest chance."

Other awards were given for
spring sports. The list included
such notables as Julie Norton,
Singles Badminton; Julie Norton
and Laura Hawes, Doubles Bad-
minton; and Mollie Snead and
Betsy Dalton (an old, tired
senior?), Doubles Tennis.

Two Students Show
Paintings, Mosaics

Buttrick's third-floor gallery is
urrently featuring the independent
study art work of two Agnes Scott
art majors, Nancy Batson and Joan
Byrd.

Nancy Batson's exhibition con-
tains principally works done in oil,
though a glasswork mosaic, a pencil
sketch and some charcoals are also
on display.

Most of her paintings center
around a "Study of the City
Scene." Charcoal studies for the
paintings are displayed along with
the finished works.

In connection with her study,
Nancy experimented with
new techniques in oil glazing.

Wheel thrown-stoneware forms
the nucleus of Joan's work,
though she is also displaying a
large ceramic mosaic.

The colors of the stoneware are
quite varied, due to her use of
different metallic oxides.

This summer, both Nancy and
Joan will be in Boston. Nancy will
be working in commercial display
art, while Joan hopes to work as a
potter's apprentice.

Their current exhibition is open
to the public and will remain
through the week of graduation.
