Alston Greets New Campus Arrivals;
Outlines Expectations For Freshmen

Welcome to Agnes Scott! We have anticipated your arrival and we are glad that you
are now members of our college family. Our new students for the 1961-62 session total 221.
Of this number, 213 are fresh-

New students arrive amidst a great deal of luggage and accom-
panied by proud parents, sophomore helpers & junior sponsors.

Rush Party Daze Involves
'Tricks of Trade Knowledge

BY LYNNE LAMBERT
News Society Columnist

What is a rush party? It is that
first exciting encounter in Agnes
Scott's social whirl with those de-
lightful members of the opposite
sex who are found in great abun-
dance here on our non-coed De-
catur campus.

Rush parties come in assorted
styles, shapes, and sizes. One night
may find you in the throes of a
"Go To Hell" party at which you
must adopt your most devilish
air garbed in that slinky red dress
you brought along for those "just
in case" occasions.

The next night may find you
engulfed by the atmosphere of a
jungle party to which you could
go scantily clad in a wrap-around
beach towel only to get tangled in
a pile of gaudy leis thrown by an
Hawaiian welcoming committee!

In order to arrive at one of these
festivities you must first go
through the ordeal of being herded
like sheep into cars chauffered by
"Brothers" who somehow are so
much more appealing that the
overwhelming group of rushees
who awkwardly invade every
party.

These necessary evils are the
means to an end, however, for
their presence enables you to slink
up to a "wearer of the pin." (Word
of caution here; be sure HE has
the pin not one of your upper
classmen chaperones!

Donning your best mask of help-
lessness, implore him to coach you
on the wonderful assets of his
marvelous fraternity so that you,
in turn, can get the point across
to that "crew cut" across the room
whose chain of football medals,
Hi-Y trophy and cup "Best all-
around boy in the Southeast" has
been clanking around his ankles all
evening.

This devoted interest will forever
endear you to "the boys" and
"brother" will possibly jot down
your name as a candidate for new

BY OWEN FORRESTER
Past President of Beta's at
Ga. Tech

Juxtapose Mardi Gras with the
intense selling that typlifies a
pitchman in a side show and you
have the essence of rush season
at Georgia Tech and Emory.

These two colleges are two of
the very few in the nation that
still undertake the pleasurable
ordeal of converting high school
girls, secretaries, airline steward-
esses, and Agnes Scott freshman
into super saleswomen.

What the fraternities want from
you is truly complex and some-
times, even a bit arduous. What

' you have to gain is very simple. . .

| an introduction to a large segment
of the more than six thousand
fraternity men and freshmen at
Tech and Emory.

| Before looking at specific "do's"
and "don't's", understand one
hard fact ; fraternities all over the
country rush and pledge boys with-
out the help of a single girl. You
are an expensive luxury and are
only as indispensible as you make
yourself.

Not wanting to sound ungrate-
ful let me stress that you, a vivac-
ious young female, are indeed a
luxury, and usually a necessity
if you follow a few "do's" and
"don't's".

( 1 ) NEVER break a date with
one fraternity for another's invita-
tion. From the minute you say,
'Yes, I'd love to go," you are a
'planned for" addition to the
party.

(2) NEVER go to' one fraternity's
party and talk about another. This
shows to every eligible male around
that you are about as cool as an
evening dress from Sear's.

(3) You, no doubt, will have to
entertain several hundred Dobie
Gillis types. Prove you are not

High be outgoing. You go get
him before you wither in a corner.
This isn't being forward; you are

men, six are transfer students
into the sophomore and junior
classes, and two are students from
abroad who will be classified as
"specials."

You of this group of new stu-
dents come from schools or col-
leges in twenty-two states, the
District of Columbia, the Canal
Zone, France, Germany, Switzer-
land, and Turkey.

You who are freshmen have
come to Agnes Scott from 143
schools (124 public schools and
nineteen private schools). There
are twenty-two daughters of
alumnae amoung you.

Screening

You realize, I am confident, how
carefully students are investigated,
tested, assessed, and screened. A
student is admitted to Agnes Scott
only after her high school grades
and College Entrance Examination
Board test results have been care-
fully studied; after her standing in
her school has been ascertained;
and after the recommendations of
her counselor, principal, and others
have been considered.

We try to make certain that
those who are admitted will be able
to do the work and make a

satisfactory adjustment to college
life.

Against the background of this
careful program of admissions, we
have every reason to expect at
least three things of you who have
come to Agnes Scott as new stu-
dents this fall.

Honor System

For one thing, we assume that
you are persons of character who
are capable of living together
honorably and happily. You will
soon learn that Agnes Scott's honor
system and program of self-govern-
ment are essential to our way of
life. We discover a new level of
freedom and satisfaction in human
relationships as we undertake to
deal with each other as persons
of integrity and honor.

In the second place, we have
reason to expect that you have the
ability through native endowment
and training to do the academic
work that is here for you.

Academic Success

We have learned from exper-
ience that the criteria that we use
in the processes of admission
strongly indicate that you are com-
petent to succeed academically if
you put forth your best effort.

(Continued on Page 2)

You know, of course, that the
work will be demanding and, we
hope, challenging. This is essential
to real growth, and the College
expects you to stretch your minds
and to grow intellectually.

Moreover, we have a right to
expect that you who have chosen
Agnes Scott are coming to this
campus with the intention of com-
pleting the program that has been
planned for students here. Ordi-
narily, only students who have
stated in good faith that they ex-
pect to remain at Agnes Scott for
the four-year period are admitted.
Whole Program
The good sense of this will, no
doubt, be apparent to you. The
program is planned as a whole. If
you are to receive the full benefit
of the education that Agnes Scott
is prepared to offer you, it is
essential that you come with the
expectation of remaining here for
the entire period of your under-
graduate experience and of earn-
ing the Agnes Scott degree.

I hope that you will enter fully
into the adventure of this college
year, putting your best into every
situation. Your frame of mind,
more than you realize, will have
much to do with your success or
failure.

We speak often here of "atti-
tude." By your attitude we mean
your state of mental and emotional
readiness for this new venture. I
am confident that this matter of
attitude depends upon what you
have brought loith you to Agnes
Scott, what happens to you here,
and what happens within you on
this campus.

My hope and prayer for each
of you is that you will discover in
the days ahead something that
hundreds of Agnes Scott girls have
cherished an intangible spiritual
"plus" that gives tang and a new
dimension to your life some-
thing that draws you to the deep
things that constitute "Agnes
Scott."

MEMO TO STUDENTS

This year for the first time
the college is providing picture
hangers which they are asking you
to use instead of nails, scotch
tape, masking tape, or some other
picture-hanging devices. These
special picture hangers, provided
free to you by the college, may
be procured now from the Senior
Resident or House President.

Every year it costs several hun-
dred dollars to prepare the walls
for painting because of chips from
nails and chemical stains from
adhesives. FOR THIS REASON,
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES
ARE NAILS, SCOTCH TAPE,
MASKING TAPE OR ANY OTHER
PICTURE-HANGING DEVICE
( OTHER- THAN 'THOSE ISSUED)
TO BE USED.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Friday, Sept. 15, 1961

What Is A College?

For various reasons you have come to the campus. The
atmosphere you suddenly find yourself in is charged. You
can sense the nervousness within and around you. And per-
haps you are even a little thankful that the pace hasn't
slackened since you arrived on campus for
there has been no chance to brood about
inane comments or awkward gestures that
you have made.

There is, too, a sense of isolation you
feel a twinge of longing for your establish-
ed position in the high school set where
you didn't have to sell yourself.
You look at the girl on your left the
blond who's just lit a cigarette in the Hub.
She acts like she knows her way around. She has a way of
tossing her head when she laughs that makes her memorable.

Then look at the small girl who is seated on the floor be-
hind you in your section of freshman English. You admire
her quiet, intelligent answers and wish you could express
your impressions without sounding elementary in compari-
son.

There are the upper classmen whose names you've seen
in the handbook or last year's annual. They are all wearing
important-looking badges and seem distantly friendly.

You walk through the lines of registration and faces swarm
in upon you. You won't forget the brown-haired lady who
signed you up for the science department you wonder
how she could possibly hold that smile a minute longer..

What is a college? It's people students and faculty. You
will become a name a face instead of a statistic to an-
other freshman next Fall.

Orientation for the Class of 1966 will be approximately
the same but it is our hope that the campus community
that they will find will be somewhat different from the
one you entered.

Your class you for all that you as an individual can
offer should make the difference. You were admitted to
bring fresh ideas, new talents and irrespressible energy to
us who have stayed to help the college grow.

If you leave this campus four years from now and it seems
the same as it did when you arrived, then you have failed.
If its people are still just "faces," you did not try.

You are expected to enter into the life here for as much
as you are individually able. The temptation is to be
amalgamated into the college set as quickly as possible
to dress like everybody else, to pick up campus slang of
the "in" group, to repeat the same old tired cliches pro and
con about policies that you've not examined.
Yet if we had wanted a group exactly like we are now,
we would have invited the graduating seniors back.

FOR THE
FRESHMEN

BY JAN HEARD

Since last spring, the Orienta-
tion Committee, along with the
faculty, administration, and four
boards, has been planning for
your arrival. Every person who
has had any part of the Orienta-
tion program is anxious that this
year be meaningful for each of
you in a very special sense.

Agnes Scott College means many
things to many different people,
and I am eager for each freshman
to find her place in our college
community.

The Orientation committee con-
sisting of Lebby Rogers, Nancy
Rose and I, is particularly interest-
ed in knowing and personally wel-
coming each of you to Agnes
Scott.

I know you have already enjoyed
a warm and friendly correspon-
dence with your junior sponsors
and sophomore helpers. They will
be your introduction to numerous
sophomores, juniors, and seniors
who wait to meet you.

Here's hoping that the class of
'65 finds as much pleasure partici-
pating in Orientation as we did
while planning it.

Campus Beat
Contributions***

By ETHEL GILMOUR

In the first place, the words " Welcome Freshmen!" must
by this time throw you into sick convulsions. Perhaps I could
say "Freshmen We Welcome you" or "You are Welcome
Freshmen" or "Well you've come" or just plain "Welcome
Freshmen."

Perhaps I could be a sesquipe- all day long. I was dragged from

dalian and point out to you my
high intellectual
acumen and wel-
come you in
smathers of
French, German
or Latin. But
soon enough you
would discover
that (in spite of
my surrounding
influence from the "Vision of
Greatness") I am still a bit of a
nothing although I thoroughly
appreciate the Hogarth Curve of
a "C".

That First Week

As I remember my first week
at A.S.C.. the one thing that tired
me out above all was that I had
to be nice all the time. I had to
smile and smile and smile again

one place to another when all I
wanted to do was to kick off my
shoes and know a good friend who
would say "Well Durn!"

Just remember that every new
beginning has this sort of smile
and sore feet business, and it won't
be long before the time will come
when you will be dragging new
freshmen around yourself.

Something to Give

This school is going to give you
something, more than how to write
a composition or how to do a
math problem. A.S.C. will teach
you to think and to be aware
but make sure that you do not
become lazy and let it teach you
what to think and what to be
aware of.

We are very happy that you
are here.

just being a super saleswomen
who is out to sell a fraternity and
meet some potential dates.

(4) If the party calls for a
costume, wear one. This will keep
you from blending into the wall.
Most of the rushees are more
timid than you are. The first girl
they grab is usually the one that
looks pretty or pretty unique, or
both.

(5) Contrary to what you might
think, vivacity is a better drawing
card than sex. You are there to
sell a fraternity. If you are in the
heart of the party singing, joking,
talking, listening, and laughing in-
stead of being in the heart of the
woods, you will make a memorable
impression on the fraternity and
the boy you are with.

It is a rare girl and a prized one,
that is in the swing of the music
and squarely in the middle of the
conversation.

Simply remember, you are there
to entertain and sell. If you go to
be shown, you won't see a thing;
if you go to show, you will be
seen, noticed and dated. These
parties are for the rushees. The
parties for you will come later.

Up to now Scott girls have always
been sought after as the very best
rush girls. The reason is because
they join in the fun and under-
stand their job. I can promise you
that if you really play it right,
rush season for the next four years
will be the social high point of
college.

Dorm Room Decoration
Involves Ingenuity, Thrift

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Groping her way around a strange campus, the freshman
is faced with the task of making her shell of a room into
some kind of livable haven that she can call "home."

The prudent decorator will have

NOTICE

A reminder to freshmen to]
consult your orientation sche-<
- dule for dates & places of forth'
[ coming events.

k 4 4 A A

arrived on campus without any
definite ideas of a scheme for her
room, for she needs to confer with
the roommate in order that they
may come up with something suit-
able to the tastes of both.

Once the great comfab, is over,
the pair can then plan that excur-
sion into Atlanta to look over the
crop of decorative items that dot
the stores so profusely at this time
of year.

"Swap Shop"

But before this shopping venture
the economic-minded should not
neglect the possibilties that over-
flow the "swap shop" in the base-
ment of the hub. Here in abun-
dance lie a vast array of curtains,
spreads, rugs, etc. that have been
tried and trieel by upper classmen
and the early bird gets the curtain
rods!

It is in the "swap shop" that the
frantic freshman has the best
chance of finding the right size
curtains for those lengthy windows
that plague the freshman dorms.

And where else can you find
just the right shades to blend in
with rooms painted in such deco-
rators' dream colors as elephant
pink, seaweed green and bogus
beige.

The Menagerie

If, however, the ideal combina-
tions cannot be found in this pot-
pourri, the time has come to
swarm such places as Rich's,
Davison's (both of which have ter-
rific basement bargains), Belk's in
Decatur, or for those who like to
sew, there are always the many
fabric shops that abound in the
area.

Now that the basic necessities
have been taken care of, you can
concentrate on those odds and ends
that will add an air of individuali-
ty to each haunt.

Since pets in any way, shape or
form are strictly prohibited, it is
necessary to resort to those in-
evitable "stuffed friends" that
every freshman has brought at
least five of.

Plants and Pennants

The next step is a trip to the
dime store for a varied selection
of potted palms and house plants.
When these have been placed at
strategic points around the room,
the feeling is gained of being right
in one's own back yard. The con-
struction of a makeshift barbecue
pit will further increase this homey
atmosphere.

Finally, the crowning touch must

consist of hanging bulletin boards,
pennants, contemporary cards, 88c
"originals" from Woolworth's and
Italian wine bottles on the walls.

Scatter high school annuals and
copies of the college issues of
"Glamouy and "Mademoiselle"
about the room as an extra bonus.

The question may now arise as
to what should be done with the
study table and text books that
have been shoved out in the hall
to make room for these other
necessary items. The answer is
simple leave them there! After,
all, what did you come to college
for anyway!

Allen Reports Theme
Of Leadership Retreat

By VICKY ALLEN

The Fall retreat of the four
Boards held at Camp Daniel Mor-
gan September 12-14 had as its
theme "Ideal Made Real." With
this abstraction as a basis we at-
tempted to render into concrete
terms the policies, principles, and
purposes of our four Boards.

In discussing this aspect of our
college life we realize that even
though these ideas must be ab-
stract in their essence they can be
real in practice. To bring this aim
to full realization each student
must fulfill her responsibilities to
our college as an individual.

We are hoping that with the
suggestions and ideas discussed at
this retreat our theme will become
a meaningful part of our campus
life.

Frosh Give Impressions
Of A.S.C. Before Arrival

By CHERYL WINEGAR

Coming to college for the first time is many things to all
students. It is buying new clothes and hemming the old; it
is writing countless letters to prospective students and aides;
it is spending the last few days of August in frantic comple-
tion of a reading list.

Coming to college is to be fea-
tured in the hometown newspaper:
it provides the impetus for teas
and luncheons. It is to be rushed,
excited, completely disorganized
and it is to find a great sadness.

What does a girl think about in
the weeks preceding her first
arrival at Agnes Scott? Betsy
Dykes, coming all the way from
Corundu, Canal Zone, is most
looking forward to her first win-
ter in the United States.

Atlanta has already begun to
fascinate Betsy Allen. Betsy, who
is from Galveston, Texas, is ex-
cited about living in four seasons.

The newness of all that will

greet her has Leah Stevens in an-
ticipation. The prospect of meet-
ing new friends seems to excite
each freshman this year: "Dormi-
tory life sounds exciting!" says
Ann Bogy of Little Rock, Ark.

Cynthia Coleman is apprehen-
sive of "pulling up roots" in
Charleston, S. C, to start again
in Atlanta.

A chance to be on their own
challenges Pat Buchanan and
Betty Boyd Leonard of Mississippi.

Karen Kay Lee of Miami wel-
comes, as do Pat and Betty Boyd,
the independence, but she is
worried about getting accustomed
to a roommate.

Several freshmen expressed so-
cial hopes, but none so vividly as
did Arnall Broach of Charlotte,
N. C: " . . Having so many boys
near by will certainly be fun!"

Agnes Scott has made the fresh-
men feel welcome. Every girl re-
plied with one adjective to suit
their impression of Scott girls:
"Friendly!" Betsy Dykes spoke
typically of all of them when she
said, "My first impression of Ag-
nes Scott is one of conservatism
and charming hospitality."

But behind, over, under, and
through Agnes Scott is its aca-
demic program. Every girl men-
tioned the studying, and their
ideas ranged from that of chal-

lenge to outright fear. As Nancy
Payne of Oklahoma says, "My
study habits or should I say
my lack of them scares me."
And from Velma Baerwald of By-
num, Ala., "I await my first class-
es with both expectation and
trepidation."

So finally, what are the little
girls of the Class of 1965 made of?
Hopes and dreams and fears and
plans and wide-eyed wonder . . .

Scholar Outlines Study Program

By NANCY ROSE
Class of '63

A topic like "How to Study" is
a difficult one to try to discuss,
it seems to me, since it tends to
make the person writing about it
sound like an expert.

I will try, however, to point out
some things that have helped me.
hoping you will realize that they
may not be the best way for you
but also hoping they may help
some.

First, I have found that I can
study best in my own room, at
the desk when I have to write,
in the easy chair when I do
not. Here I can spread every-
thing out and not have to pick
it all up to carry it around.
I have found also that it helps
me to do my own studying alone
at first for tests and exams and
then later to talk over the ma-
terial with others.

Secondly, and this may sound
absurd or perhaps impossible to
some people, I like to stay com-
pletely caught up and if possible,
somewhat ahead on daily assign-
ments as well as on papers and
other more long-range assign-
ments.

Usually when I know I have
a paper due on a particular date,
I set aside an afternoon or an
evening or both, depending on
the length the paper is sup-
posed to be, in which to write it.

Before this date, which is at
least a day or two before the
paper is due, I collect all neces-
sary material, make an outline of
main points, and usually write an
opening paragraph. Then, in the
time I have set, I make myself
sit down and write a first draft.

This way, I have something to
work over for a day or two, re-
vising, rewriting parts, and typing
it.

This way, too, I can get ahead
so that I can take off a whole
weekend, Friday through Sun-
day, sometimes, without feel-
ing overwhelmed, panicky, or
guilty when I come back.
People each year ask about out-
lining material. For better or
worse, I do not do this to any

great extent. When an assign-
ment is given, I read it once, or if
it is something like poetry or a
story in French, several times.

Often it helps to glance back
through the material just before
class. In class I usually take as
comprehensive notes as possible,
which, however, usually cover
only main points, since I write
rather slowly.

In studying for a test I go
over and learn my notes, first,
then I go back to the book and
study it. Often I jot down brief
notes of things that seem im-
portant but which I feel I may
forget if I do not look back
at them.
One of the things I have found
it is most important to do is to

learn specifics. All the professors
I have had demanded proof in
papers and tests that I knew
what I was talking about.

Thus, I would suggest that most
of one's study time might be
profitably spent on learning and
then going back and telling one-
self, what the actual sequence of
events was in Napoleon's down-
fall, or what the Prioress actually
looked like and did.

Of course, this does not exclude
the importance of looking for
over-all things, correlating, and
making more general statements.
I have found, however, that if I
have the specific facts in mind,
the points almost make them-
selves.

To Face Our World

Only the foolhardy would fail to strive toward awareness
in these days of threats and counter-threats. Every campus
in the nation has awakened from apathy to discover that as
a generation we may never reach fruition.

We see the boys we went to high school
with, our fiances, our brothers, and, in time,
our husbands faced with military service.
We cringe at their being destroyed on the
battlefield and the numbing dread of waiting
for word in an empty home.

Some prophets say that battlefields and
foxholes are obsolete now that annihila-
tion will come swiftly with nuclear mis-
siles and bombs.
The moralistic sages counter that no leader would take
responsibility of expunging the human race. Yet the rational
enemy we do not fear it is the mistake, the accident, the
miscalculation of enemy retalliation.

We are being groomed to take over where our parents
left off. Yet now, in our training, we feel helpless as we
watch our world our future nearing eclipse.

Wholesale panic is not the answer. We must be informed
about the issues involved and perhaps make prepara-
tions for survival shelter. Yet, more than these, do we need
to find something in our world of change and crisis to
believe in.

We have to come to grips with our present and then build
for a future. We have to be willing to fight for our way of
life.

In the last analysis, we must make the leap from where
rational thinking ends to faith. Faith in our country in
a God or at least in humankind.

The Innocuous Time

Editor's Note: The following is a guest editorial written by sopho-
more Andrea Lanier.

"Hall-Prayers" makes me sick! Here I am trying to write
a paper, when our pious little C. A. representative runs in
to tell me that I have Hall-Prayers tonight!

"What can I do? I've no intention of pray-
ing in front of a bunch of people. I'll use my
roommate's 1956 issue of Day-by Day.

"Ok, group, let's zip into the hall, hear
my few words of wisdom, bow in silent
prayer and perhaps close with a verse of
'Onward Christian Soldiers.'
"Wait 'till the kids in the Hub hear what
I just did! That ought to be good for a few
laughs."

How often has this run through your mind? (And how
often through mine.) This is a negative result of the misuse
of what could be an invaluable time of stimulating dis-
cussion with our hall-mates.

But, somehow, somewhere, the words "Hall-Prayers"
have given the image of self-righteous piety, industrious
singing of overused hymns and insincere silent prayer.
At a school as small, and let's face it, as sometimes iso-
lated as ours, there is a tendency to limit intellectual growth
to the classroom and the library. We are so often tempted
to abruptly curtail a discussion of the population explosion
to hurry to the library or, possibly worse yet, to that game
of bridge.

Many times students have realized this fact and have tried
to promote book studies, seminars, etc. under the direction
of a faculty member, hoping to add to the campus life an
awareness of the non-Agnes Scott world.

While doing this, we have neglected an obvious oppor-
tunity that rather innocuous time generally known as
hall-prayers

I have not meant to dismiss hall-prayers, to limit this
activity to the completely secular world. But there are in-
finite kinds of expressions of faith.

Hall prayers can give a deeper understanding of the im-
portant things of life God, identity of self, social con-
sciousness in many, many ways.

A review of the current nuclear warfare problem, an
analysis of a book as intense as "Your God Is Too Small"
by J. B. Philips, an evaluation of the tremendous social
problem of the moral standards of our time, a discussion
of the complexities of our A.S.C. honor code all these
are eventually related to our own personal beliefs.
We, as students, have a personal responsibility to increase
our knowledge in more than a strictly academic manner. We
have a more encompassing responsibility to our world today.

In a time when God seems to be rather "un-ivy," it takes
a tremendous amount of courage to express beliefs. As Dr.
Steimle challanged us last year, "Don't be afraid to step out
on that limb, to become involved, and perhaps to fall off."
To a generation with shaky, and sometimes non-existent
personal commitments, we can, perhaps, give direction to
this challenge. Let's respond to every intellectual stimulus!
Perhaps, by falling off that limb occasionally we shall dis-
cover where we stand. A.L.

Quorum

Jerry Van Sickle

Editor's Note: This is the first
in a series of columns written by
Jerry Van Sickle, a senioi % at the
University of Colorado. We met
Jerry at the editorial affairs con-
ference and felt that he could offer
much to our campus speaking
from his male, mid-western and
liberal viewpoint.

I was in Washington, D.C. in
1955.

It was hot that summer and I
was a pretty typical tourist with
all the appeal of
a country rube
viewing his first
building of more
than four
stories.

Rounding a
corner on the
route I had care-
fully marked on
my map of the city, I came upon
three boys. I guessed their ages at
about 12.

One of the three, a Negro boy,
was sitting on the curb trying to
comfort a dirty face dog. The dog's
tail had been cut off hacked off
would have been a more appro-
priate word. The boy was crying
and screaming profanities simul-
taneously.

I asked what the trouble was.

One of the two white boys gave
me a curt reply, "Stay out of it,
buddy. Nobody asked you to mess
in here."

"Did the dog bite somebody?"
I asked again.

"He didn't have to bite nobody.
We told Jasper he couldn't play
in our ball-game and he kept right
on messing around. We had to
teach him a lesson. He's just a
dumb black nigger and we had to
teach him his place."

But they had hurt a little dog.

When the incident was over, I
didn't feel much like seeing the
city so I went back to my hotel.
I sat in the room thinking of all
the things the city of Washington
symbolized for me. I just could not
correlate them with what I had
seen and heard from the small boys
earlier.

Who had taught them that
egroes were second-class citizens?
Why? What had happened to
"created equal" and to the tenets
that Lincoln held?

Why do we worry so about
liberty and freedom for the people
of the world when we are able so
easily to rationalize the position
of the Negro in the United States?

Those three boys might well be
entering college somewhere this
fall. I hope that the two white
boys have learned that in our
country there is no distinction
between liberty for one and liberty
for all according to the law.

I hope that the Negro boy has
set aside the bitterness of that in-
cident in 1955 and is prepared to
take a place in the student com-
munity as the brother of all.

I hope that rest of the nation
will see fit to stop building the
sham memorial to Lincoln and will
start living the true one.

Atlanta has fallen again. The
people of the heart city of Georgia
performed admirably in the war
for human dignity.

The integration of their schools
this fall marks another tribute to
the courage of which they are
capable. And as Atlanta rose 100
years ago, they will rise again to
new heights as they leave the
slums of decadent segregation be-
hind.

Hub-bub

Garbageman Pleas
For Dump Clean-Up

By ETHEL GILMOUR

One finds that in any community where people have
gathered together to live there is a garbage dump. These
community garbage dumps are usually found outside the
inhabited area.

Agnes Scott could be defined as
a community except for the fact
that the garbage dump is located
right in the
middle of the
living area.

We, the gar-
bage men, want
to remind you of
how well you
are taking ad-
vantage of the
A.S.C. dump

he Hub

(1) piles and piles of well
smoked butts in sloping mounds
on the floor.

2) bottles arranged in all posi-
tions, some cracked, some rolling,
some dangling in mid air, with
orange, coke, pepsi ingredients
flowing and mingling together on
the floor.

(3) squashed here and there,
coffee cups with artistically chew-
ed rims and a touch of red lip

stick.

E. Gilmour prescribes cleaning up for patient, M. Candler.

(4) cards sprawling and scatter-
ed on the floor, ashtrays tilted,
paper flying.

You the participator, you the
one who makes the garbage dump,
can see that truly we can all say
"Well done," for here is a place of
grime, filth, dirt of sloppy,

trashy, delicious living.

We. the garbage men, again
would like to say thank you and to
say we hope that you keep up the
good record, for we have nothing
else to do here at A.S.C. except to
clean up after you.

'Roun-Town

Atlanta Offerings Include
Plays, Concerts, Movies

By LYNNE LAMBERT

The cornucopia of entertainment is overflowing as Atlan-
ta's fall season gets under way.

Now is the time to buy season tickets to the All Star Con-
cert Series, Atlanta Symphony, Broadway Theatre League
and Atlanta Music Club.

Among the highlights offered by
these groups in the coming months
will be Van Oliburn, Birgit Nilsson
and the Philadel-

phia Orchestra
in the All Star
Lrroup; Phillippe
Entremont and
Isaac Stern with
the Symphony;
"A Thurber Car-
nival" from
Broadway and
the Roger Wagner Chorale in the
Music Club Series.

"Heartbreak House"
Theatre Atlanta opened its sea-
son last week with a fine presenta-
tion of George Bernard Shaw's
"Heartbreak House" at the Com-
munity Playhouse. This play, which
deals with "cultured, leisured
Europe before the war" is particu-
larly relevant to the world situation
faring us today.

Sensitive acting on the part of
most of the players resulted in a
worthwhile and entertaining even-

ing of Shaw at his best.

Theatre Atlanta's next produc-
tion will be "Three Men On A
Horse" October 31 through Nov-
ember 4.

On the lighter side we can look
forward to the Southeastern Fair
beginning Thursday and lasting
through October 7.

The current crop of movies is
better than average this week with
"Fanny" at the Fox topping the
list. Set in Marseilles, this picture
gives a delightfully sensitive in-
sight into the French character.
Maurice Chevalier and Leslie
Caron combine to give that added
touch of superiority.

Other excellent, offerings are
"Thunder of Drums" showing at
Loew's and the charming comedy,
"The Parent Trap" with Hay ley
Mills at the Rialto.

Not to be overlooked is the
Italian Art Festival now being held
at Davison's in downtown Atlanta.
Modern Italian art and decor are
the prime features of this event.

Secretary-General's Death
Cause Of Mounting Tension

By DORIS SANDERS

On Monday, September 18, a plane crash near Ndola,
Northern Rhodesia, ended the life of UN Secretary-General
Dag Hammarskjold. The world is weighing with dismay the
implications of this event.

A crisis surrounds the future
of the United Nations and of a
world order under law.

Certainly, the UN is no stranger
to threats to its
security and
effectiveness for
world peace.
The Crises
Korea, the Su-
ez and the Con-
go are only a few
of the crises
about which ob-
servers have predicted, "This will
make or break the UN."

However, the impending struggle
over a successor to Hammarsk-
jold could well cripple or destroy
permanently the greatest potential
instrument for world peace in
existence.

Major Programs
There are three immediate ma-
jor problems which the death of
Hammarskjold compels the UN to
face and solve successfully for the
safety of its future as an effective
instrument for world peace.

1. Selection of a new Secretary-
General in the face of Russia's
proposal for a "troika" of three
co-equal Secretaries-General;

2. The maintenance of continu-
ation and effective direction of
the Congo operation challenged as
it is by militant Katanga;

3. Provision for executive action

during the period before a suc-
cessor to Hammarskjold can be
chosen.

A Father Writes

Perhaps a fitting conclusion to
this article is a selection from a
letter written by a father to his
daughter at Agnes Scott.

The observations in this passage
serve to pinpoint many of our
own thoughts and feelings at this
critical hour.

"Certainly I can understand
how conversation on the Campus
is turning to world affairs.

"My only apprehension in this
regard is that we shall allow in-
cidents to become events.

things that are happening across
the world that any little explo-
sion in one part of the world can
become the ground for serious
apprehensions all over the world.

"Apprehensions have a way of
creating the things that make us
apprehensive, so we are caught
in the vicious cycle.

"One of the most interesting
essays I've read in a long time is
one I read recently in Bertrand
Russell's 'Unpopular Essays.'

"A Tragic Way"

"It has to do with the future of
the world where he poses three
types of alternatives before our
beleaguered times. I suggest you
go to the library and find that
book.

"It is certainly relevant in so
far as the United Nations and its
security are concerned.

"I hope we haven't come to the
place where even by the tragic
death of Dag Hammarskjold we
will watch peace and good will go
down the drain.

"If the human race is so de-
pendent upon one man, we are
really in a tragic way."

By ELEANOR LEE

"Mens Sana in Corpere Sano," "Sound Mind in a Sound
Body," is not to be considered a cliche, and no matter how
often you may see it throughout the year, Athletic Associa-
tion hopes you will not think of it as such.

In past years perhaps you have '

heard others say, "Forget the 'ole
books for a while and come to
games." However, this particular
expression creates a misconception
of the purpose of the Athletic
Association.

By participating in or watching
the sports offer-
ed, you are mo-
mentarily reliev-
ing your mind of
the intense ex-
ercise of study-
ing. By allevi-
ating this in-
tensity and by
taking part in
physical activity, you will be
stimulated mentally.

It will help you to be more
alert in both your studying and
what is going on in the world
around you.

We Americans have the ten-

dency to push aside the idea of
war war especially on our
territory. However, the time has
come for us to wake up to this
possibility.

Women's Responsibility
A woman's responsibility in
such a situation is large. We as
youth need to take advantage of
both the physical and intellectual
studies offered here.

These two phases of education
stimulate and compliment each
other. Both will help to give us
the emotional stability, the physi-
cal stamina and the mental ca-
pacity to meet the chaotic con-
ditions that may arise.

This is not a campaign to cre-
ate masculinity in any of us. In-
stead it is a striving toward en-
abling each individual to handle
any situation that may arise with
calmness, intelligence, and grace.

She says that the people express-
ed the feeling that "there might
be a reluctance on our part to de-
fend them. They feared that the
same thing would happen to them
that happened to Hungary."

When asked about the reaction
to Lyndon Johnson's speech,
Betty said that "it really helped
morale, but since then so much
has happened. Nice speeches help,
but actions need to be taken."
The other three girls emphati-
cally agreed to Betty's statement.

Molly says that there is "a
mood of hopeless depression in
East Berlin that is evident as soon
as the border is crossed."

Tangible evidences of the dif-
ference between the two areas was
noticed by Betty. She says that
butter is rationed in East Berlin
and that extra meat for expected
guests must be ordered a month
in advance.

She also says that bombed
buildings are left in an unrepaired
state and that the remains are
plastered with propaganda citing
such slogans as "Fight against
America and the atom bomb."

Reporter Comments:
Our Awareness Vital

By CAROLINE HUGHES

"We are cut off from reality here at Scott, sheltered from
the cold facts of the great big, outside world!"
Such crying and moaning is too

often heard as a protest against
certain school policies. Absurd
as if reality consisted of free
flowing alcohol and cozy little
apartment get-

togethers.

(It might
added for
record that
are not so

be
the
we
iso-

lated as not to
be aware of the
existence of
these "desira-
bles.")
Isolation
The cry of isolation is shock-
ingly true, and we have imposed
it upon ourselves.

Many of us tend to think that
the sun rises and falls over our
hallowed little campus our
world of meetings, of classes, of
Hubs, of boys, of Grills, of exams,
of gripes, of pins, of clothes, of
rules.

Some of these are important.
Some of these are essential. We
are right to give them our time
and our energy.

But they are not everything

and we are adults.

Students all over the world are
rioting and are demanding change
in the existing order. I am not
suggesting that we arm ourselves
with rocks, knives, and clubs and
storm Washington or perhaps,
more appropriately, Moscow!

I am advocating that we arm
ourselves with an awareness and
an understanding of the revolu-
tions around us that we pre-
pare ourselves to assume the po-
sitions of leadership in a troubled
world.

Discipline

We can be valuable citizens.
We have received a good educa-
tion. We have lived under dis-
cipline and this strengthens.
For the most part, we are Chris-
tians.

But we must not become snug
and ingrown in our warm little
nest. We must extend the bound-
aries of our world beyond Cand-
ler, McDonough, College and
Dougherty.

What to do? I have three sug-
gestions as starters:

Be Informed

Get together in groups and sub-
scribe to one of Atlanta's news-
papers. The Constitution is de-
livered in the morning, the
Journal in the evening. They offer
good coverage.

Buy a copy of each, compare
and decide which you would pre-
fer to take. If several go in to-
gether, the cost per student would
be negligible.

Listen to news broadcasts. NBC
offers excellent ones every hour
on the hour (WSB 750). The
NBC World News Roundup comes
on every morning, Monday
through Saturday, from 8-8:15
a.m. Morgan Beatty analyzes the

Campus Unites For Black Cat Day

Ben-Dor Talks
In Convocation

Today in convocation Dr. Im-
manuel Ben-Dor, renowned archeo-
logist from Palestine, spoke on
"Archeology and the Bible."

At an early age Dr. Ben-Dor
moved to Israel, where he later
became a member of the staff of
the Palestine Archeology Museum
and then a director of the Depart-
ment of Antiquities of the State of
Israel.

Dr. Ben-Dor came to the United
States in the early fifties. He has
taught at the University of Chicago
and Harvard University and is now
a professor at the Candler School
of Theology at Emory University.

Freshman Betty Armstrong (in foreground) joins in a Monday
night rehearsal with five other members of the Black Cat Chorus.
Until full-dress rehearsal tonight beginning at 7 p.m., the "Cats"
have polished their songs and dances clad in bermudas and the
"ears" of their costumes.

Student Tells of DeGaulle,
Paris During Coup d'Etat

By JUDY LITTLE

Ann Gale Hershberger studied in Paris, France, last year
Year Abroad program. She was there on April 24 when the
d'etat.

She was very near the street
that was lined with cannons and
tanks. She says that she "never
dreamed she wouldn't be able to
sleep because of the noise of tanks
going down the street."

On the 24th, she remembers,
De Gaulle called for the people to
arm. She says that the response
to his request was unbelievable;
over 80% of the students were
armed the next day. She credits
this great response to French
patriotism.

Coup d'etat

At school on Monday morning
her professor was very tired be-
cause he had been up all weekend
guarding the impressionalist part
of the Louvre Museum.

The fact that school was held,
she says, is an example of the
spirit of the people. They were
tense, but not panicky, and they
went on about their daily lives.

From Ann Gale's diary she

'Sneaks 1 Distribute
'Name Dame 1 Tags

In a final effort to encourage
everyone to learn the names of
others on campus, Athletic Associa-
tion traditionally sponsors "Hey
Day."

Forty-five "Speak Sneaks," ten
for each class and five from the
faculty, began roaming the campus
at 7 a.m. and will be around until
6 p.m.

They have been awarding Name
Dame tags and additional stars to
every third person who speaks to
them. The person with the most
stars will be named "Miss Hey
Day for 1961-62 in Thursday's
chapel.

The spirit committee is in charge
of Hey Day and the committee
chairman, Molly Dotson, is the
over-all head of the event.

reads the folowing note a few days
after the 24th: "In Algeria, the
venture badly begun and badly
supported was put down thanks
to the level heacledness and lucid-
ity of DeGaulle and by the swift-
ness and resolution in which the
French Government acted."
Obsolescent DeGaulle

When asked if most people in
France have respect for DeGaulle,
Ann Gale said, "No; the general
attitude was that his leadership
was valuable in the establishment
of a government in 1958, but that
he now is a senile man and that
a change in government is badly
needed in order for France to at-
tain her former position of leader-
ship in the world."

She says, "Because of the split
into the enormous number of
political parties and because there
is no leader to replace DeGaulle.
the question on everyone's lips is
"After DeGaulle Who?"
New Leadership

Evidence of opposition to De
Gaulle is the formation of the OIS
and the fact that the military.

under Agnes Scott's Junior
generals attempted the coup

which used to support him, has
turned against him.

Until the past few weeks, Ann
Gale explains, the people have had
only the choice of De Gaulle or a
military leadership.

Now, though, Mendes-France
and Guymollet have stepped for-
ward saying that if the people
want them they will assume gov-
ernment leadership.

. . Victory's Sake"

The Algerian battle is important
to the French Army for reasons
beyond the ause of patriotism.
Ann Gale explains "For thirty
years the French Army has done
nothing but fight, but they have
not had a single victory. Now they
want to win just for victory's
sake."

She says that there is intense
interest and participation in po-
litical questions in France.
Apathetic people are not to be
found. "They all have their own
views just people you meet on
the street. Students are very ac-
tive in political discussions and
even have their own party."

Traditional Day to Feature
Hockey, Contests, Dance

By BECKY VICK

This year Friday the 13th takes on more than its usual
significance as the four classes unite in the fun and deeper
meaning of the traditional Black Cat Day.

Black Cat has been a "calendar
day" at Scott for 46 years. In 1915,
Dr. Mary Sweet, the college phy-
sician, suggested a Freshman-
Sophomore "battle of wits" as a
substitute for the rough hazing
that Freshmen were then sub-
jected to.

For 35 years, Black Cat con-
tinued as an exclusive Freshman-
Sophomore competition. Then in
1950, as a result of growing ten-
sions and rivalry between the two
classes and their sister classes,
Black Cat was reorganized as a
campus production using the
talents of all four classes.

The History

Since then, its primary pur-
pose has become an official cele-
bration to honor the Freshman
Class. The prized black plaster cat,
formerly presented to the winner
of Black Cat Day, became the
symbol of the campus acceptance
of the new class.

Mortar Board sponsors Black
Cat each year and chooses a
chairman in the preceding spring
to work with their president. This
year Virginia Allen is the chair-
man who will work with Ann
Thompson, president of Mortar
Board.

Black Cat Chairman Virginia Allen goes over last-minute produc-
tion details with the four class skit chairmen. Seated from left to
right are Virginia, Sandy Still, Betty Ann Gatewood, Lucia Bacot
and Mary Lowndes Smith.

Ann Gale Hershberger, who spent her junior year of study in
France, reads a letter from a friend in Europe during a break in
the Hub.

The prelude of Black Cat in-
cludes two hockey games and the
sweepstakes events which will be-
gin at 4 p.m. Co-chairmen of the
sweepstakes are Jean McCurdy
and Margaret Whitten. Conclud-
ing these events a picnic will be
served by Mortar Board on the
hockey field. The favors which
will be given were made by the
senior class.

Songs and Skits

Black Cat will officially begin
at 7 p.m. when the classes will be
led into the gym by their cheer-
leaders. The cheerleaders elected
by their respective classes are
Lynn Maxwell and Marty Jack-
son, freshmen; Jonet Hodge and
Jean McCurdy, sophomores; Pat
Conrad and Janey Fincher, juniors;
and Ethel Gilmour and Emily
Ann Evans, seniors.

The classes will then submit
their songs to be judged on their
meaning and presentation.

Directing their classes in sing-
ing will be Molly Dotson and An-
nette Smith, senior song chair-
men; Lynn Denton, junior song
chairman; Dianne Davidson, sopho-
more song chairman and Merrie
Hamilton, freshman song chair-
man.

Official Welcome

After the song competition,
Virginia and A. T. will welcome
all present and the skits will then
be given by the classes beginning
with the sophomore class.

Each class will present a skit
under the direction of their skit
chairman except the freshman
class who will present a talent
show with Ina Jones acting as
their chairman.

The skit chairman for the other
classes are Sandy Still, senior;
Betty Ann Gatewood, junior; and
Lucia Bacot, sophomore.

Black Cat Dance

In conclusion, the president of
the sophomore class, Betty Hood,
will present the Black Cat to the
Black Cat chairman of the fresh-
man class, Mary Lowndes Smith.

Then everyone will immediately
go to Rebekah Recreation Room
for the dance. Playing for the
Black Cat dance will be James
Brown and his band.

Black Cat is made up of many
parts which can be termed "com-
ponents of the whole." These
components are all chosen by a
script committee which also
chooses the theme, writes the
dialogue and the songs for the
Black Cat chorus and the Black
Cat Song.

Student "Cats"

Representatives on this com-
mittee are Julie Norton. Eleanor
Lee, Mariane Wurst, Cheryl Wine-
gar, Ina Jones, Virginia Allen,
Sally Blomquist and A. T. Thomp-
son.

Twelve cats which compose the
Black Cat chorus are Betty Arm-

NSA Enlightenment

If someone walked up to you and said, "Are you a member
of NSA?" would you know what he was talking about?
Probably not. Only a handful of people on campus would
recognize the initials and even fewer could inform you of
the policies of the group.

NSA or National Student Association is
the only organized soundingboard for the
opinions voiced about national and interna-
tional issues on campuses throughout the
nation.

Whether you are aware of it or not,
Agnes Scott is a member college and sends
two delegates to the national convention
each year. As a member, our college be
comes responsible for all corporate resolu-
tions passed by the NSA congress each
year.

Because you probably did not know the meaning of NSA
you probably also had not heard the opinion voiced by some
that Agnes Scott should withdraw.

Last year a resolution was passed in the NSA Congress
supporting sit-ins and freedom riders. In arrogant protest,
several southern colleges and state universities withdrew
their membership in the organization.

It somehow still seems to be a southern "must" to
secede from nation-wide constructive organization rather
than display mental strength of conviction on the floor of
a policy-making congress.
An association of American students, such as NSA, can
fulfill a great need; it can funnel the opinions, the convic-
tions of each of us to the businessmen, statesmen of not only
cur nation but the world.

In our century when the students of Japan, Hungary and
Germany have spoken out with the fists for what they be-
lieved in, the American student is pale and apathetic in
comparison.

When we were at this year's convention, we were
appalled at our ignorance. We found that hockey, campus
dress or study smokers were not topics of interest.

We met students from New York Michigan Tennes-
see who conversed in an unknown vocabulary consisting
of "HUAC", "Operation Abolition", "The Leader", "Gold-
water's Conservative theories" ad infinitum.

We found that even if we considered ourselves well-in-
formed on an issue such as the Chessman trial and its re-
lation with capital punishment, we still had formulated no
intelligible opinions on the subject.

We studied issues and read more pure propaganda than
probably any other week in our lives. We listened to stu-
dents who considered themselves liberals or conservatives
and then made our personal decisions.
We came away dazed and then consumed with energy
to inform our college of the issues of our times.
Our missionary spirit is flagging somewhat now.
You can help us make our NSA affiliation meaningful for
the first year so that our representatives next year can
carry your ideas, your opinions to the other students across
the nation.

Qui/ us about NSA resolutions or better yet read in the
Congress's working papers exactly what your college and
3 ou have signed your name to.

It's a lonely, difficult job here to be vitally aware of cur-
rent events. Each of us must assume the initiative to make
our college the valuable contributing member to the Ameri-
can student movement that she should be. L.B.S.

Quorum

Jerry Van Sickle

The day after the National Stu-
dent Congress (NSC), sponsored by
the United States National Student
Association (USNSA), voted to ap-
prove the resolution seeking the
abolition of the House Committee
for Un-American Activities
(HUAC), two men appeared out-
side the Memorial Union in Madi-
son, Wisconsin (the site of the 14th
annual NSC) armed with flyers.

The flyers screamed their mess-
age in bold type "NSA SUCKED
IN BY REDS." They were being
distributed by The National Action
Movement, a group of "better than
50 members" according to the
chairman of the group, Nick
Burczyk. Mr. Burczyk was one of
the two men.

Four "points of interest" were
noted for the delegates:

1. NSA delegates have been
secretly active in the Labor Youth
League and other pro-communist
cell organizations.

2. The "present Chairman" has
been active in pro-communist
causes since his high school days.

3. NSA has been infiltrated by
commies, according to Herb Phil-
brick of "I Led 3 Lives" fame.

4. NSA publications have follow-
ed "the RED LINE consistently."

I'd like to have a long discussion
with Nick Burczyk about his feel-
ings on NSA but I frankly feel
that it would get down to a debate
on semantics. We would soon be
arguing what is "pro-communist",
what is "un-American", what is
"destructive propaganda."

In the Supreme Court decision
Watkins vs. United States, Chief
Justice Earl Warren said, "Who
can define the meaning of 'Un-
American?' What is that single
solitary principle of the form of
government as guaranteed by our
Constitution?"

Perhaps it has been an anti-Mc-
Carthy reaction that has spawned
the fervor of much of the college
youth today against HUAC. More
probably it was the treatment of
the demonstrators in San Francisco
and the distorted movie version
"Operation Abolition," which was
released by the Committee.

For many more, myself included,
it was simply that they were tired
of being "commie symps" and
"dupes of the communists" every
time they used their freedom of
speech to object to the tactics of
the Committee and the conditioning
of fear that HUAC has given the
American public.

Since the advent of fear, people
of liberal persuasion are prone to
lump conservatives as akin to
fascists and people of conservative
persuasion labeling liberals as one
small step away from socialists
and a step and a half from com-
munists.

The public at large is at a loss to
distinguish between what is com-
munistic and what is liberal. The
difference is extremely hard to
judge within the individual since it
deals with such undefinables as
"respect for the individual",
"human dignity" and so on.

I resent being called a "com-
munist dupe" because I feel that
the job of internal security can
best be handled by the judiciary
committees of the House and
Senate, and with much less of an
invasion of Constitutional rights.

So you see, much as I'd like to
talk to Mr. Burczyk about this
matter, I'm afraid it would resolve
nothing.

The Green Years

This is a legend and, like most legends, it has a moral. The
heroine of this legend entered Agnes Scott College at the
age of eighteen. Her I .Q. was slightly above average. Her
socio-economic background was middle class. She had all her
life lived in a small southern town.

She arrived on campus early one Septem-
ber morning bearing suitcases full of pink
and blue blouses, petticoats, flats and a
shocking pink all-weather coat.

Her first weeks of college life were
spent at rush parties where she man-
aged to wear each of the pastel "semi-
formals" she had purchased the pre-
ceding August.

She had eight dates, attended seven con-
certs, wrote 900 letters and gained 6% pounds during her
first 36 weeks at college.

She returned for her sophomore year minus 6% pounds
and wearing a madras dress (with McMullen collar), dirty
sneakers and a scarab bracelet. She spent the first few weeks
of sophomore year at rush parties where she wore basic
black sheaths, eye shadow and a very bouffant hair style.

This year she had four dates, attended three concerts,
wrote 450 letters, drank 5,000 cokes, smoked 25,200 cig-
arets, spent 108 hours in the Grill and cut classes 12 times.
Junior year opened with our heroine clad in sophomore
year's madras and sneakers. This year she passed 756 hours
in the Grill, smoked 50,400 cigarets, played 75,000 hands of
bridge, cut classes 72 times and wrote 36 letters.

Toward the end of spring quarter she had her first date
(blind) with a boy who wrote her during the summer.

Senior year was exciting. She became pinned to afore-
mentioned boy (who might be loosely termed our hero) in
October, became engaged to him in December.
She had 144 dates, spent 700 hours in the Grill, read four
issues of Modern Bride, played 72,000 hands of bridge, cut
classes 80 times and wrote 18 letters.

In May she addressed 200 wedding invitations. In June
she graduated with a 1.000 average and two days later
married our hero. They made their home in a small southern
town where she busily organized a bridge club. She was
22 years old.

The moral . . . It's there. Look again. M.W.

Hub-bub

C. A. Budget Needs
Thought of Students

By ETHEL GILMOUR

This is the first year that I have ever pledged to Christian
Association. Now that you realize that my article will con-
cern such a worn-out subject as a C.A. pledge you can either
put the paper down or you can read another article.

Read what I have to say, for

if need, hunger and just plain
human kindness is only a worn
out subject then I pity you.
First let me present to you a
few straight un-
holy facts: last
year C. A. pre-
sented its budget
of $2,200 to the
student body. The
student body
voted "Yes" for
this budget. Thus
they made plans
for the entire year.

These plans included people all
over the world. C. A. made cer-
tain promises with different estab-
lishments, because we, the student
body, said "Yes" to their $2,200
budget.

74', Paid

The word establishments doesn't
mean anything, so let me give you
an example. C .A. promised Dr.
and Mrs. Paul Craine, who are
missionaries in Korea, $670.

This $670 was not just extra
money to send to them to use as
they pleased; this money was
their salary, the very food they
eat.

Do you know how much of that
S2.200 was raised last year? Only
lY'r . This figure means that out
of 650 students only 267 students
pledged.

Dependence Upon Us

Well, so what! Let's not sluff it
off so easily. It goes further than

just a bunch of facts and figures.

Last year the American Lepro-
sy Mission, which we have helped
to support for years, received no
money. These people depended on
us.

The two missionaries I spoke
about barely got their salary. Cer-
tain amounts of money which C. A.
had promised to organizations
such as World University Service,
Community Service, etc. had to be
cut down.

Broken Pledges

C. A. promised this money to
various organizations because we
the student body agreed to the
$2,200 budget. We said "Yes," but
we did not give.

Now what's the matter with us?
I mean really, every single one of
us could give something. Do we
really consider our budget when
we walk by a bakery? No we
want a piece of fudge so we walk
in, hand out the money and eat it.

I feel that I can easily say that
every person on this campus could
give 50 cents and more without
blinking an eyelash.

Perhaps this article has been a
failure because we don't like to
think about pledges, C. A. budgets,
chanty pleas (such a drag).

So I will make one more try at
success: let us read ourselves. Are
we so casual as to forget the
simple common, over-used word
"Love"?

Agnes Scott '55 Graduate
Directs S. S. H. R. Project

By PAM STANLEY

With an eye to the increasing racial difficulties in the South, the Marshall Fields Founda-
tion presented to the National Student Association in December of 1959 a sizable grant for
the establishment of a two-year program involving a full-time staff worker to interest and
co-ordinate college students in the area of human relations.

That same year, Connie Curry, TTT , ... _. ,

While never specifically applied

Agnes Scott '55, a history and
political science major who was
President of Student Government
Association as a senior and who
had a vital interest in govern-
ment and human relations, stepped
into the position called for by the
Marshall Fields' grant and became
director of the Southern Stu-
dents Human Relations Project.

Working with white and Negro
students from thirteen southern
states, the program is directed
toward making young people be-
come so aware of injustices and
racial discrimination that human
relations in this field will be an
active topic of discussion, with
intent to solve the problem, on
the college campus.

Student Discussions

In 1960, for example, two dele-
gates from each North Carolina
college, white and Negro, con-
vened to discuss "Problems and
Promise in a Changing South," in
which many aspects of the situa-
tion, including desegregation, dis-
crimination and the role of the
Church in this problem, were
covered in the student discussions.

Several years ago, an Agnes
Scott girl attended meetings of
the Atlanta Committee on Appeal
for Human Rights, begun when
representatives from six Negro
colleges became interested in con-
tacting and meeting with white
students to discuss this move-
ment.

Here in Atlanta, white and Ne-
gro students with an interest in
the integration movement and a
hope to improve racial relations
are able to do so by taking part
in committee meetings.

Encounter with Prejudice

Where a program of this type
and importance exists, its leaders
must not have only complete
awareness of the problem, but
firm convictions regarding its
solution. Connie Curry, project di-
rector, first became aware of the
human relations situation as a
student at Agnes Scott.

While a freshman, Miss Curry
had her first opportunity to
come into contact and to work
with Negro students in Southeast
Region sponsored conferences
and seminars of the National Stu-
dent Association, of which Agnes
Scott's Student Government As-
sociation is a member.

A personal aspect of the race
situation was revealed to Miss
Curry at a meeting her sopho-
more year. She and a Negro
friend from New Orleans, having
met at a conference the previous
summer, were engaged in con-
versation after the meeting ad-
journed for lunch.

Lack of Freedom

As they went through the door
together both suddenly realized
that they could not continue their
conversation over a lunch table.

Miss Curry explained that her
work as project chairman is
based primarily upon a personal
feeling of lack of freedom in the
South.

She found that the greatest in-
fluence of Agnes Scott on her
thinking was the school's com-
mitment to Christian values, an
idea which may have played an
important part in her decision to
enter the field of human relations.

to the racial situation, the school's
belief in God's universal love for
all mankind filtered down to her
in this personal vein. She never
hesitated to bring up the problem
of race relations to her friends
and, although most of them dis-
agreed heartily with her opinions,
the subject was frequently dis-
cussed on campus.

Vitally interested in govern-
ment, Connie Curry served on
Lower House as a freshman, was
Sophomore Class President, presi-
dent of Lower House her junior
year and Student Body President
as a senior.

She also participated in Glee
Club, the hockey team and the
International Relations Club. She
was elected to Mortar Board and
graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1955.
Fulbright Scholar

A native of Greensboro, N. C,

Miss Curry spent six weeks in
France between her junior and
senior years on a scholarship giv-
en by Agnes Scott for Experiment
in International Living. This ex-
perience, she feels, further
broadened her in the field of hu-
man relations.

After spending a year at the
University of Boreaux, France, on
a Fulbright Scholarship, Miss
Curry returned to Columbia Uni-
versity, New York, for further
study in political science until
1957.

Her following two years were
spent traveling all over the coun-
try as a national field representa-
tive for the Collegiate Council for
the United States. In December,
1959 she accepted the position of
director for the Southern Stu-
dents Human Relations Project,
situated here in Atlanta. She now
resides on Briarcliff Road.

Agnes Scott alumna Connie Curry discusses her work with the
Southern Students Human Relations Project with Doris Sanders,
international columnist for the "News."

Students Create
Real From Ideal

By CAROLINE HUGHES

Did you ever think how indispensable we are? I mean the
"powers that be" would have to close up Scott at least
temporarily if we all decided to pull out right now.

I was impressed by the number

Vicky, Carey,

of times the word "YOU" ap-
peared in the speeches of the four
board presidents about two weeks
ago.

Hutch and Eliza-
beth frankly ad-
mitted that their
organiza-
tions could not
function without
the support of
the collective and
individual mem-
bers of the stu-
dent body.
The over-all theme for 1961-62
is "Ideal Made Real." Taken
separately, the words "ideal" and
"real" are two of the most over-
worked and trite ones in the Scott
vocabulary. Taken together, their
effect is overwhelmingly under-
whelming with somewhat the
ring of a cereal slogan.

Just Theory
However, I must humbly con-
fess that I have not been able to
dream up another phrase to ex-
press an idea that is packed with
potentiality.

Our bright and shiny honor
system is not worth the price of
a campus slip when it remains in
the theoretical realm. Neither
does our Christian faith or the
foundations of our democracy if
it is not put in everyday practice.

Have you ever read the consti-
tutions of the boards in the back
of the handbook? They do not
exactly classify as deathless prose;
yet in theory, these lists of
articles and sub-articles are all
there are of Student Government,
Christian Association. Athletic
Association and Social Council.
Indispensable
This editorial began with a most
egotistical-sounding statement :
we are indispensable loved and
needed.

However, it is true in a most
unegotistical way.

I suggest that we quit patting
ourselves on our theoretical backs,
that we roll up our sleeves and
work to become the YOUS that
our campus and our world so
desperately need.

Chinese Nationalists Oppose
U.N. Recognition of Peking

By DORIS SANDERS

A small island just off the Chinese mainland is engaged
in a last ditch struggle to maintain its position in Asia, the
United Nations' and the world.

On Formosa, the Chinese Na-
tionalist government headed by
Chiang Kai-shek dreams of the
day when the Generalissimo will
return victori-
ously to his
rightful position
as ruler of 700
million Chinese
now under Com-
munist control.

But the fond
hopes of Chiang
and his followers
are facing destruction on the
floors of the United Nations in
New York.

Nationalist China, by virtue of
its permanent seat on the Securi-
ty Council, has threatened to veto
the admission of Communist Outer
Mongolia.

Retaliation

If this threat becomes a reality,
Russian retaliation will come in

Cosmopolitan Atlanta Has
Many-Faceted Social Life

By LYNNE LAMBERT

The theme permeating the campus this year is that of
"world awareness." From every direction come cries of "take
your head out of the sand and wake up to the events sur-
rounding you!"

How many

of us are really
aware not only
of world events
but of those
things that are
going on around
us every day in
our own vicinity?

As a metro-
politan center
Atlanta provides
untold opportunity for cultural
and social enrichment. There is
something to appeal to every
taste and the wise girl will find
a niche somewhere in her slate of
activities for those events which
tend to expand her social and cul-
tural growth.

Where else do you have avail-
able all manner of activities rang-
ing from weekend fraternity par-
ties to a box seat at the Metro-
politan Opera?

Within these two extremes lies
a vast field of such broadening in-
fluences as world-renowned artists
represented in the variety of mu-
sical series, outstanding exhibits
at the Atlanta Art Museum, local
and national presentations of su-

perior plays, top-notch movies and
all the cultural influx that dis-
tinguishes Atlanta as the New
York of the South.

The girl whose social life begins
and ends with parties and movies
is cheating herself for she will
never bring to full realization that
indefinable fourth emphasis of the
Agnes Scott ideal dealing with
the development of charm, poise
and the well rounded personality.

The Foreign Service Examina-
tion will be given in December
here in Atlanta. Applications can
be accepted from any senior who is
at least twenty years old and has
been a citizen of the United States
for at least nine years. The dead-
line for applications is October 23.

The examination consists of tests
in English, General Background
and one of four languages: French,
German, Russian and Spanish.

Successful candidates much also
pass an oral language exam and
a physical check-up. Interested stu-
dents should see Miss lone
Murphy in the Vocational Office.

the form of a veto of the admis-
sion of the French West African
state of Mauretania.

The fourteen French West
African states already in the U. N.
might gain vengeance by voting to
admit Red China to membership
as the rightful representative of
the Chinese people.

The government of Nationalist
China will not retreat on this
issue even though the result could
mean suicide for their future.
Spontaneous Revolt

In order to strengthen its claim
as the legitimate government of
China, Nationalist China maintains
52 foreign embassies and missions
in addition to its seat in the U. N.
General Assembly and Security
Council.

Three-quarters of the national
income is spent on supporting a
250,000 man army, a jet air force
and a small navy.

Nationalist leaders still dream
of a "spontaneous revolt" which
would destroy the Peking govern-
ment and welcome the liberating
armies of Chiang.

Security Threat

Every report of disturbances
and difficulties within Red China
raises the hopes of the Nationalist
Chinese.

If Red China does succeed in
gaining membership in the United
Nations, the Chiang regime will
lose great face in Asia and the
world as well as the self-confi-
dence needed to run the govern-
ment on Formosa.

There exists a definite threat
to the security of Nationalist
China and its claim as the legiti-
mate representative of 700 million
Chinese.

U. N. Seat

What does this threat mean to
the United States which has main-
tained a close alliance with Na-
tionalist China throughout its
existence?

Perhaps it is incongruous to re-
gard a small number of Chinese-
Nationalists as the rightful rep-
resentatives of millions of Chinese
under the yoke of Communism:
yet United States recognition of
Red China could kill the last hope
for a free democratic China of the
future.

Is it more important to recog-
nize those who represent the gov-
ernment now in control of the vast-
majority of the Chinese people or
those few Chinese who seek to
keep alive the principles of free-
dom and democracy?

Critic Praises 'Carnival';
Donovan Draws Plaudits

Reviewed By Nancy Bradford

Those who attended the "Thurber Carnival" with hopes
of seeing a typical Broadway play were perhaps dis-
appointed Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights.

This play was definitely not of
the usual variety which is included
in series of Broadway productions
sponsored by the Atlanta Theatre
League of the Atlanta Music
Club.

Starring Imogene Coca, King
Donovan and Arthur Treacher, the
presentation featured a series of
skits written by the famous hu-
morist and cartoonist, James
Thurber.

However, to fully enjoy the
play, one must have had a
thorough understanding of the
Thurber wit and point of view.
Often during the performance
some of the best lines went un
recognized because of the failure
to communicate Thurber at his
best to the audience.

Donovan's Finesse

Imogene Coca was, as usual, a
genius in using facial expressions
but perhaps the star of the show
was her off-stage husband, King
Donovan. Known to many tele-
vision fans as the Army buddy
of "The Bob Cummings Show,"
Donovan carried many of the
roles which he played with finesse
and skill.

The list of stars was impressive,
but all were laboring under a
handicap imposed by the simple
constructions of the production it-
self. In some of the numerous
scenes they elevated Thurber's
works to a higher intellectual
plane.

The most impressive scene con-
cerned the last dying flower in
the world.

"The Best in Show"

In this sketch, Thurber deals
with man's apparently insatiable
drive toward the destruction of
war. Each time as civilization was
destroyed, providentially there al-
ways remained one flower, one
man and one woman.

The staging technique of this
production was to project huge
cartoon panels drawn by Thurber
upon the backdrop with narra-
tion added by one of the support-
ing actors.

This is, perhaps, Thurber at his
best when the meaning of his
satires and spoofs are not dis-
turbed in passage from author to
reader by the contortions of pro-
fessional comedians.

"Off-Bear Delight

The backdrops against which
many of the skits were produced
provided one of the most enjoy-
able aspects of the entire presen-
tation. The staging with the Thur-
ber drawings added even more
novelty to the "off-beat" produc-
tion.

The "Thurber Carnival" was in-
deed a "change of pace" from the
presentation usually included
within this particular series.

Viewed with this aspect in
mind and with an understanding
of the subtleties of Thurber's hu-
mor, the "Carnival" was an ex-
tremely delightful production.

Students Attend Study
Groups In Community

Now that the 1961-62 school year
is underway, several study groups
are being formed. These study
groups enable those interested in a
particular subject to increase their
knowledge of that subject in a
semi-academic manner without the
pressure of tests, papers and other
such classroom methods.

Several study groups have al-
ready been formed in Atlanta. The
Quaker House is sponsoring a
group, "An Evening with the Arts",
beginning in November and meet-
ing on Sunday nights.

There is also a group discussing
"Quaker Faith and Practices." For
further information about other
discussions sponsored by the
Quaker House contact Pat Flythe.

All Saints Episcopal Church
directs a group which is discussing
communism. If you are interested
in attending this group contact
Boyd Bauer.

Druid Hills has formed four
study groups. Those wishing to at
tend any of these groups should
contact Caroline Teague.

Pat Flythe, Christian Association
Study Group Chairman, will help
organize other study groups on
campus. Pat asks that there be
eight to ten people interested in the
topic. She will help the group find
a meeting place, time and a quali-
fied adult to lead it.

Veterans; at Laundry
Relate Years at ASC

By NINA GRIFFIN

In the course of the past thirty-five years, amid alterations
in the physical appearance of Agnes Scott College and the
continual change in students, Leslie Cash and Ella Anderson
have constantly served the needs of the college in the
laundry

Both Leslie, who came to ASC
in 1922, and Ella, who began in
1924, worked first in the old
laundry, then located between the
current sites of Buttrick and
Presser.

They agree that there is quite
a difference between the old
laundry and the new one with its
many modern conveniences.

In describing the gas irons
used then Leslie says, "The fire
would come out under the side,
and it'd burn you if you weren't
careful." Ella adds that they al-
ways had to watch their aprons
when lighting "those gas irons."

At present Leslie is working at
the large flat-work iron( where

she helps iron all the school's
sheets, pillow cases, towels and
table cloths).

Ella, who works at the steam
pressers, started to work at ASC
as her first job when she was
sixteen. Since then she married
and now has seven children.

About her job Leslie says, "I've
enjoyed working with the old
hands, and if times was to come
back I'd do it again."

Art Show Features
New Italian Works

"The New Generation in Italian
Art" is the theme of the current
exhibit at the Atlanta Art Asso-
ciation.

This collection of 37 items, all
non-figurative, stresses various
aspects of sculpture and painting.
The exhibit was selected by several
outstanding Italian art authorities
and features rich textures.

Many other paintings in the
group, executed in oil, tempera,
and plastic media, lean heavily on
their three-dimensional quality for
effect. Most of the paintings are
large and subdued in color, char-
acteristic of the Mediterranean
world.

Marco Valsecchi, one of the
selectors of the group, says, "This
new generation of Italian artists
has made the most arduous at-
tempts to translate into plastic
images not only the reality of an
objective world but all the reality
of existing beyond the surface of
the physical world . . .".

Most of the artists represented
are in their middle thirties, and,
with few exceptions, are not
known to the American public, al-
though their work has been shown
in Europe.

Sylvia Pruitt Contributes to A.S.C.
Through Sports, Skits, Clubs, C. A.

By CAROLE JACKSON

Beginning this week a new series of articles will be devoted to certain students in recog-
nition for their special service to Agnes Scott College. These are people who work "behind
the scenes/' often unnoticed and unpraised for their activities on the campus. Each week the
spotlight will be focused on a student whose activities deserve recognition and applause

Suggested by the editorial staff '
to inaugurate the new series is
Sylvia Pruitt, a senior philosophy
major from Anderson, South Caro-
lina. Her wide range of interests
is shown in her varied activities.

Besides playing hockey on the
senior class team, Sylvia works
on the Silhouette staff.

She spends much time at the
Methodist Children's Home in De-
catur and belongs to the Chris-
tian Association Service Council.
She is active in the Westminister
Fellowship at the First Presby-
terian Church.

To provide an outlet for her
love of music, Sylvia belongs to
Sigma Alpha Iota musical fra-
ternity. She is president of Organ
Guild.

In her sophomore year Sylvia
helped compose her class Black
Cat song. Last year she worked on
Junior Jaunt skits.

Several hours a week are spent
in doing student aid for Miss
Mary Boney. Sylvia is also par-
ticipating in the independent
study program.

Jean Medearis Johnston, a
classmate of Sylvia's, described
her as "one of the most dedicated
people to Agnes Scott that exists.
She gives her full support to all
organizations whether she is an
officer or not."

This week's News personality, Sylvia Pruitt, works in the Library
on her independent study project.

Hockey Season Begins Friday;
Sport Offers Gaity, Excitement

By MARY LOU LAIRD

"Hockey, anyone?" Each year when there's a nip in the
air, this statement is a familiar one at Agnes Scott.

To many freshmen, the word

Hockey implies snow, ice, and
twenty degree weather. Obviously,
this impression does not hold true
here at Scott!

We use a field,
very little heavy
padding and
hockey shoes in-
stead of ice
skates.

It is a game
which requires
much skill and
running. Thus, it
is very strenuous for those of us
who are, for some reason, short-
winded.

This should not discourage any
prospective players, however, for
the rewards of hockey, such as
teamwork, skill and sportsman-
ship, far outnumber its disad-
vantages.

Our hockey season begins this
Friday afternoon at 4 p.m. when
the frosh battle the sophs and
the juniors challenge the mighty
seniors. Both games should be
quite exciting to both the players
and spectators.

Let's make this Black Cat week-
end one to remember! Go to the
hockey games and cheer for your
team they'll need your support!

Jean Villepigue "Falls
Into Another World"

On a nice September day, I fell into Agnes Scott College
to visit a very good friend of mine, Ann Hershberger, before
going back to France.

I fell into that wonderful place
like a being from another world.

P Everybody was
P looking at me
like a very, very

strange animal
vous pensez!
a boy and a
French boy at
that, in Agnes
Scott College,
having a room
InThe Alumnae House, taking his
meals in the cafeteria.

One night coming back from a
rendezvous to my room, one of
your shepherds (a policeman) saw
the wolf (me) and asked me with
his pistol and his electric lamp
what I was doing on the campus
near the dormitories.

I answered him, "Hey, man, is
it a nice way to talk to your
guests?" He probably did not
know the old holy laws of hos-
pitality of ancient Greece we are
always keeping in my old Europe.

I stop mocking at you now to
thank you and everybody in your
college for the very nice four
days I enjoyed there and I want
also to thank everybody I met in
the U.S.A. for their kindness to
me.

The U.S.A. is so different from
Europe all was new to me. It
was another planet, and every-
body was so nice to me that
I made another home country in
the U.S.A.

Yes, the Americans are very
nice people.

Now. about your college. It was
quite an experience for me to see
a University with only girls. In
France the University system is
completely different.

Sophomores, under the direction of Miss Wiiburn, prepare to meet
the freshmen in the first hockey game of the season en Friday.

We have what we call "Facul-
ties" and "Grand Ecoles" which
we attend after graduating from
high school. I am in a "Grand
Ecole" where I study economics,
commercial law and commercial
foreign languages.

In a University town you have
a Faculty of Law, a Faculty of
Medicine, of Science and of Liter-
ature where boys and girls are
mixed and each class contains 300
or 400 persons.

The students listen or not to
one teacher who comes, says his
"cours" and then goes away. At
the end of the year, for the exams,
you have to know everything
about your subjects, whether you
have been in classes or not.

The "Grand Ecoles" where en-
gineers are formed are a little
different: first there is an exam
to enter the school; secondly, you
must go to classes; third, some
ones take only boys.

But the thing which differs the
most is that we French students
are completely free with all our
responsibilities because there is
no boarding University.

We live where we want, rent
an apartment or a room in a fami-
ly or in a student city and no-
body to look upon us. So we never
have to sign out and sign in.

That must be revolutionary for
you who are ruled by very strict
college laws.

I ask to the Agnes Scott College
teachers to excuse me for blow-
ing the wind of revolution and
rebellion! Giving new revolution-
ary ideas is a French specialty!

'Dennis Invades Campus
For Black Cat Celebration

By GLENDA ANTONIE

On Friday the 13th the traditional Black Cat Day began amid many freshman yells of
"Hey, Mr. Wilson" on all halls at 7 a.m. Upperclassmen learned by yells, signs, slingshots,
costumes and one dog named Ruff that Dennis the Menace was the mascot of the
freshman class.

Betty Hood, president of the sophomore class presents Mary
Lowndes Smith with the black cat at the conclusion of the annual
production.

Edith Hanna Relates Scots' Attitude
Toward American Foreign Policies

By JUDY LITTLE

Edith Hanna spent last year studying in Edinburgh, Scotland. She found that the general
attitude there toward individual Americans was friendly, but the people did not like
America as a country.

London and Edinburgh to

This feeling of dislike was evi-
denced in the classroom. Students
always stomped their feet when
they approved of what the pro-
fessor was saying, and they hissed
when the subject was disfavorable
to them. Mention of America al-
ways brought a roomful of hisses.

Edith says that the students
there are "very aware of and ac-
tive in politics." Each party has
its supporters in school groups.
New Orleans Crisis

She remembers that the New
Orleans crisis was widely pub-
licized and discussed. Most people
there are in favor of integration.

When Kennedy was elected, she
says, the people there "were glad
to have a new party in the White
House and thought it was good
generally, but when the Cuban
crisis came along, it destroyed the
feeling."

There is a very radical leftist
group there that supports nuclear
disarmament. They are active in
universities and cities. All winter
they led demonstrations against
the Polaris base which was opened
on the Holy Loch near Edin-
burgh.

Nuclear Base

The demonstrators were opposed
to the base because they didn't
want to be a Russian target.
Edith says that there were walks

from

Glasglow by supporters of nuclear
disarmament. There was also a
large Easter meeting led by Ber-
tram Russell.

She recalls a student meeting
held by this group at Edinburgh
shortly after the Cuban crises. The
speaker advocated a "hands off
Cuba' policy. He talked about
how much good Castro has done
for Cuba." He said that America
had no right to tell the Cubans
to be like Americans.

"Hands-Off Policy

At the conclusion of the meet-
ing, Edith says, the group de-
clared that a note was to be sent
to the American embassy inform-
ing them of Edinburgh's support
of a "hands-off policy.

Edith says that it was "really
ridiculous of them to say that be-
cause they had no idea what the
majority opinion at Edinburgh
was." She says that there was
"absolutely no reasoning with
them at all; they were mostly
Communists."

Edith Hanna is shown in front of one of the Scottish castles she
visited while spending her junior year abroad at the University of
Edinburgh.

The Voice of America expects to
employ approximately ten Interna-
tional Broadcasting Interns at a
salary from $4,345 to $5,355. For
one year, the Intern will have
rotating work experience in pri-
mary Voice of America activities
such as radio news, feature writ-
ing, radio production and voicing.

Intern Qualifications

The following are qualifications
for this position:

1. U. S. citizenship.

2. FSEE eligibility (Eligibility
must be based on a tes J taken this
year.)

3. Expected college degree in
June in Communications, Journal-
ism, Foreign Affairs, Government,
Foreign Language, or other rele-
vant Social Science fields pre-
ferrably with a B or above grade
average.

4. Must have a good working
knowledge of a foreign language.
(A few candidates with exceptional
abilities in Journalism or broad-
casting in English will be consider-
ed without the skill in a foreign
language. )

A limited number of applicants
will be chosen for the International
Broadcasting Trainee Program in
the summer of 1962. This is open
to undergraduates, as well as
Seniors who plan graduate work.
Selected applicants will be assign-
ed to radio writing or preduction
areas and techniques for which
they are best suited by interest
and experience.

Trainee Qualifications

This assignment will continue
through the summer. The follow-
ing are qualifications for this
position:

At 4 p.m. the Black Cat celebra-
tion began with spirited competi-
tion in two hockey games; fresh-
men vs. sophomores, juniors vs.
seniors. The freshmen and the
seniors were victorious.

At 5 p.m. the sweepstakes began
with Jean McCurdy and Margaret
Whitton in charge. Managers Susan
Alexander, Pat Conrad, Lib Sing-
ley, Carolyn True and Mr. Hen-
drick Hudson collected their teams
in an effort to win victories for
their classes.

"Unlucky Obstacles"

The obstacle race was in step
with the significance of Friday the
13th: the first obstacle was a black
cat which the contestants had to
leap over; the second, a ladder
which they had to go under; the
third, a salt shaker from which
they had to throw salt over their
left shoulders.

The faculty showed their extreme
skill for overcoming obstacles by
winning this contest.

The Senior and Junior classes
tied for top honors.

Classes and Mascots

Immediately following the
sweepstakes, Mortar Board served
a picnic supper on the hockey
field. Sally Boineau of the senior
class made the Black Cat favors
which were on each cupcake.

The Black Cat celebration con-
tinued at 7 p.m. when each class,
led by its cheerleaders, paraded
into the gym. The freshmen enter-
ed boisterously as Dennis the
Menace would.

Led by Harvey, the sophomores
bunny-hopped to their seats. The
juniors entered with their signs
and song of Winnie the Pooh.
Dragging themselves in, the weary
seniors sang "We Are Tired Old
Seniors".

Winning Song

After everyone was seated, each
class presented its song. The senior
class, who as juniors last year
wrote the winning Black Cat song,
triumphed again this year with
the following song:
Voices join in song to praise thee
Agnes Scott in whom we live
Youth and vigor we bring to thee,
Strength and wisdom thou dost

give.

Here within the silence of thy
Gothic hallways we have sought
to know

In walks and talks, in finding self
and others we have learned to
grow.

For a spirit that will fill us
Far beyond our college days
For a way to live life fully.
Thee we thank and thee we praise.

Ann Thompson, president of
Mortar Board, and Virginia Allen,
Black Cat Chairman, officially wel-
comed everyone to the 1962 Black
Cat celebration.

Cosmopolitan Cats

"Cats Go Cosmo" was the over-
all theme carried out by the head
cats, the cat chorus and each re-
spective class. In an effect to edu-

Lost Perspective

Every student who has even thought about coming to
Agnes Scott College has been subjected to our college's "Four
Point Program." We are told from the very first day that
we have something to give and that the purpose of our so-
journ here is to be academically, spiritually, socially and
physically educated.

The usual reaction is that this sounds all
right and we shall walk across the stage in
four years and receive credit for knowing
everything about life.

But as the months and years go by, most
of us find ourselves stuck. The Agnes Scott
ideal still sounds good when we hear about it
in chapel or read about it in the Agnes Scott
News, but many of us forget why we are
really here; academic life increasingly be-
mes extra- curricular.
Fortunately it is impossible to completely avoid the
academic part of our education. We soon learn that we can-
not remain on this campus long without devoting some de-
gree of our time to our studies.

Those of us who are never any where but in our rooms
or the library, or only go to the Hub if there is an Exam tea,
are definitely missing something.

However, those of us who live for phone calls, bridge
games Saturday nights and trips to the Grill are completely
missing the point.

We study if there isn't anything else to do or if we have
a quiz. Our major may be theoretically French or English
or something equally impressive, but our area of concen-
tration is that of extra-curricular activity.

We may go to church if we can find someone to take us.
If a quiz is assigned on the day we are supposed to cut
sandwiches for the Alumnae Supper, we immediately raise
our hand.

So we come to Agnes Scott and hear that the mark of the
truly mature and educated person is exploration into vari-
ous fields.

We act as though our parents paid our college tuition so we
could learn Black Cat songs or decorate for a Class Halloween
Party.

There can he a balance if each of us would explore our
abilities and regulate our interests.

During the years, however, we often fail to integrate our
interests. We lose perspective. Somehow we forget that the
Library, the Hub and the Date Parlors are all part of the
same campus.

If our diplomas really showed what our area of concen-
tration was, many of us would be embarrased. I.J.

Re-airing Skeletons

I suppose that it is about time to drag some black cat
skeletons out of the closet for re-airing.

But before we do, it seems necessary to say that this is
not a condemnation of Black Cat for the annual campus
affair from the picnic to the chorus and skits to the dance
was well planned and executed.

However . . . we question the jurisdic-
tion of the faculty entertainment commit-
tee. Is it not enough that the skit com-
mittee, composed of qualified students
from each class, carefully goes over skit
material to decide what is appropriate and
what needs to be deleted.
Is it necessary therefore to have a faculty
group review the production for "offensive
lines" and appropriate dress?
While we feel that it is necessary for the faculty commit-
tee to be present in order to offer criticism about stage
movements, audibility, diction and song, is it important for
them to legislate on other matters?

Agnes Scott encourages good judgment, a sense of ma-
turity and individual integrity by allowing students the
privilege of self government, freedom of the press and
academic honor. Why is it that we are so hampered from de-
veloping in this, realm?

Admittedly, our judgment has not always been good in
the past. However, we do ask for a reconsideration of the
problem and an opportunity to demonstrate our maturity.
On, then, to another area of consideration . . . the absence
of campus humor in skits. The filmsy, if not nonexistent
argument for this, is that Tech boys and other visitors would
fail to understand or appreciate the skits.

While this may be true, we need to remember that this is
a campus function designed primarily for the enjoyment of
the college community. While this may be merely a matter
of consideration on the part of Agnes Scott, no Georgia
Tech organization caters to Agnes Scott girls or their in-
terests when they sing fraternity lyrics or 'Ramblin wreck
son ps."

We think this strikes a little bit deeper than merelv a
campus 2frine . . . perhaps to a question of responsibility
and maturity. . N.B.

Letters to Editor

Dear Editor:

Congratulations to you and your
staff on the excellent issue (Oc-
tober 11) of the Agnes Scott
News.

Finally our campus paper is
looking beyond the Hub and the
Grill to events of national and
international concern.

Sincerely,

Mary Virginia Allen

Dear Editor:

I would appreciate very much
if you would print the following
news event in your school paper.
We are anxious to let all the
alumni know of this important
event:

The Student Body of Druid Hills
High School would like to extend
a cordial invitation to the alumni
to attend the annual Homecoming
festivities on October 20, 1961. It
will be held at Briarcliff stadium.

I sincerely appreciate you print-
ing the above information. I hope
we will have some of the alumni
attending your school to come.
Thank you,
Mary Lee Hightower
Publicity Chairman

Dear Editor:

Upon comparing notes with sev-
eral students after last Thurs-
day's classes it was discovered
that a large majority of the facul-
ty are in favor of doing away with
the traditional Little Girls' Day.

I think this would be an im-
portant step in the realization of
the Agnes Scott goal of being con-
sidered one of the country's finest
women's colleges. I can hardly
imagine a Smith or a Vassar girl
dressed in pre-highschool clothes
attacking a faculty member with
a water gun while roller skating
down the hall.

Certainly senior Investiture is
a solemn and important occasion,
but it would not lose meaning,
and indeed would probably become
a more rewarding experience, if
Little Girls' day were spent in a
more contemplative way.

As a junior I do not look for-
ward at all to my Little Girls'
Day. Rather I am already making
plans either to leave campus on
that day or to protest the
"mickeymosity" of the event by
refusing to participate while other
classmates help to preserve a tra-
dition worthy of a twelve year
old's day camp.

And after talking with many of
my classmates, I am sure that I
shall not be alone in my pro-
testing.

Sincerely.
A Junior

Dress Policy Rules
Evoke Wit, Thought

By ETHEL GILMOUR

There are two rules of the dress policy which in my opin-
ion, in the student body's opinion, in social council's opinion
and in the executive body's opinion are so ridiculous and
absurd that it makes me laugh to think that I am even
wasting time discussing the subject.

The first rule is: "students are'

not allowed to wear culottes to
class."

Now let us look at this rule
scientifically. There are short,
shocking culottes
which come
about four inches
above the knees.
I can certainly
understand why
students are not
allowed to wear
this type to class
because, really,
somebody might see somebody's
knees.

Now let us look at the culottes
which hit the knee square in the
middle. This type of attire did not
just happen. One might say it is
the culmination of man's progress
through civilization.

"Man's Progress"

Early in 1000 B.C. from the
Orient one can see from the sculp-
ture of this time that Buddha
wore the first stage of the culotte.
In this stage, however, it was a
little tight and one can see that
Buddha did not wear it well for
his stomach seemed to poke out.

The Egyptian pharoahs seemed
to like the idea of the culotte.
From the mummy of Ramses II
we see that this great man wore
one.

But the culotte made its great-
est advancement in China, for it
is here in this country that we see
the first form of the split. The
Chinaman put slits on either side
of the so-called culotte-ko-ting.
For Health

Thus after years of progress
through various stages and vari-
ous countries the culotte came

into its present form in the United
States.

Healthwise it advanced, for with
the double, pant-like split, it pro-
tected its wearer against cold and
hot weather as well.

The pant-like split saves the
ladies from many embarassing
situations. For example, when they
walk on top of the air vent in
front of the library the culotte
stays put or at least it does not
fly above one's head.

Short Skirts "Yes"

Now what have we gained from
this revealing history of the
culotte? Nothing for we are not
able to indulge in the participa-
tion of wearing them.

I ask you, why is a student
allowed to wear short (and I do
mean short) tight skirts to class
when she is not allowed to wear
the loose, protected, hit-the-mid-
dle-of-the-knee culotte? There is
no reasonable answer to this
question.

The other rule that I want to
discuss is, "One may not go on a
coffee break in sports attire even
if one does not get out of the car."

This rule must imply that men
are becoming regular beasts. Can't
you see a fierce, greasy, red-eyed
boy walking over to an A.S.C.
car at Jacks? He sticks his head
into the car and says, "Ahaaaaaaa
they have on sports attire, so now
I can get them!!!"

Or perhaps this rule advocates
wrecks. One must not have on
sports attire when the ambulance
picks them up.

Yes, I have made these rules
look ridiculous and that is
exactly what they are, ridiculous.

Student Scorns
Worn Argument

By CAROLINE HUGHES

I guess I am an arch reactionary, but frankly I become
a little bored and a little annoyed each time the non-drink-
ing policy is pulled out to be dragged over the coals again.

We must have bigger problems
than this to discuss in our student
meetings Heaven help us if we

do not!

Before I
ceed one
further, I
say that I

pro-
step
will
am

not in the least
opposed to
moderate social
drinking.

However, I do
believe that the non-drinking poli-
cy is an essential one in the con-
text of community living at Agnes
Scott College. I would hate to be
responsible for the moral and in-
tellectual levels of the school if it
were to disappear.

Eastern Schools
I am aware that there are girls'
colleges of high reputation that
permit drinking on their campuses.
I have visited these schools in the
East; many of my closest high
school friends attended and now

attend them.

Yet, I still maintain that our
daring to emphasize honor, in-
tegrity and discipline at Scott
gives us an outlook on life and a
stiff backbone to face this life
that these friends of mine will not
receive.

If we dream up too many ex-
ceptions to our non-drinking poli-
cy too many "ifs," "ands" and
"buts" it will become a farce.
Reactionary Views

If there really are areas that
need clarification, then let us at-
tend to them with intelligence.
But let us not reduce this policy
to a series of empty and useless
points, sub-points and SUBpoints.

Let us make sure that we are
not firing on the non-drinking
policy just for the sake of con-
troversy and of excitement.

While you are condemning my
reactionary views, take a look at
the valid problems that exist here
on the campus and in the world.

Committee to Promise
Change in Constitution

The Student Government Re-
organization Subcommittee met in
the "Pub" Sunday to formulate a
constitution for the proposed
transition in Student Government.

The new organization will in-
clude a board of approximately
twenty-five members from various
areas of campus life with the pur-
pose of co-ordinating campus
activities.

At present, according to Vicky
Allen, exec can serve little more
than the judicial functions of
government. This new body, in-
cluding five judicial members, will
serve as the legislative body.

The Reorganization Subcommit-
tee, composed of Willette Barn-
well, chairman, Vicky Allen, Judy
Holloway, Mary Beth Thomas and
Margaret Moses, is meeting for one
hour every day for two weeks in
the Student Government Room in
the Hub to perfect its constitution.

When completed, the constitu-
tion will be presented to the stu-
dent body first in hall meetings by
Joint House Council and then will
be voted on in a Thursday Open
Forum.

When the Junior Class presented
their Black Cat skit last Friday
night, the leading role was played
by Mariane Wurst.

An English major from Bay
Minette, Alabama, Mariane is be-
ing honored in this column for her
outstanding contribution to Agnes
Scott College. Her skill in the
literary field has been particularly
valuable to her Junior Class and
to the entire campus.

Skit Writer

Besides appearing in several
Black Cat productions, Mariane
helped to write this year's skit. As
an assistant editor of The Agnes
Scott News, Mariane spends much
time writing news articles and
editorials. Her literary talents have
been recognized by membership on
the Aurora literary staff.

If some one ever needs to find
Mariane, the first place to check
is the Hub. Here she improvises on
the piano upon such themes as
"Nancy Drew Detective Stories"
and "Fairies in the Primeval
Forest."

Another one of Mariane's
activities is doing student aid for
Mr. Tumblin.

After graduation from Agnes
Scott, Mariane plans to go to
graduate school and then write and
illustrate books for children.

Atlanta Offers ''Dolce Vita"
Sopranos, Eugene O'Neill

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Want to start a lively conversation? Ask a fellow Scottie
what she thought of "La Dolce Vita" and you're likely to
find yourself in a lengthy controversy over its pros and cons.

The controversial film spectacle,
now showing at the Rialto, prac-
tically started a
civil war in Italy
when it burst
like a bombshell
on Italian screens
in February of
1960.

It was Federi-
co Fellini's 13th
and latest movie,
and the battlq of words over
whether it was a fraud or a mas-
terpiece raged fiercely in the
press, private salons, public cafes
and pulpits alike.

Although "La Dolce Vita"
literally translated means "The
Sweet Life" it is peopled by any-
thing but sweet characters and
properly speaking isn't a movie
at all in the conventional sense.
Cast of 800
Felling himself, calls it "a
newspaper or rotogravure on
film." It has a running time of
three hours, took more than a year
to make and cost over $1,000,000
which is very high for a European
film.

The cast numbers more than
eight hundred and features stars
of a half dozen different national-
ities including Italian, French,
English and American.

Back Street"

Beginning tomorrow at Loew's
is "Back Street" starring Susan
Hayward, Georgia's favorite
adopted daughter (she has a plan-
tation in Carrollton). Based on
Fannie Hurst's novel about a
woman who must stay behind the
scenes in her man's life, it has a
special appeal for all women.

The Atlanta Symphony opens its
season tomorrow night with Lois
Marshall, soprano and Beverly
Wolff, mezzo-soprano, appearing
together in a program especially
fashioned to "exhibit the lyric
splendor of the soprano and the
majestic color of the mezzo." The
program will include the "Four
Last Songs" by Richard Strauss
and Johannes Brahms' "Alto
Rhapsody."

O'Neill Tragedy

Eugene O'Neill's tragedy. "Moon
For The Misbegotten" is the open-
ing production of Academy The-
atre and will run through this
Saturday night at the theatre,
1423 Peachtree Street. This is
among the last of O'Neill's plays
and ranks at the top of his list of

Internationally Speaking

World Awareness Includes
Analytical Viewing of Allies

By DORIS SANDERS

A recent cabinet shuffle in Great Britain has raised ques-
tions and provoked comment not only in Great Britain, but
also within the Commonwealth of Nations and the world.

Some international observers

been one of
dom-granting'

view with con-
cern the appoint-
ment of Reginald
Maulding to the
Colonial Office.

Under Mr.
Maulding's pre-
decessor, Iain
Macleod, the past
two years have
the greatest "free-
periods in British

colonial history.

Liberal Check

Does the removal of Macleod
mean that the Conservative party
will reverse or check the liberal
era?

Sir Roy Welensky, the standard-
bearer of the white settlers' cause
in Africa has applauded the
change.

However, from Rhodesia and
Kenya have come the charges that
Macmillan has sacrificed the
liberal policies under pressure from
Sir Roy and the right-wing British
Tories.

African Charge

The African nationalist party in
Southern Rhodesia has charged
that the British government has
decided to reinstate the old policy
of imperialist rule.

From the left-wing in Great
Britain comes the accusation that
the government is inaugurating a
"get-tough" policy at home and
abroad in order to prepare for the
expected British entrance into the
European Common Market.

Surrender to West German
militarism, monopoly capitalism
and U. S. intransigence over Berlin
are the charges directed at the
Macmillan government.

Though Reginald Maulding holds
a reputation for toughness, he is
no reactionary.

The speed-up in granting inde-
pendence to the colonial peoples
was the British cabinet policy.

The pace was set by Prime
Minister Macmillan in his "wind
of change" speech in Capetown in
February, 1960.

Colonial Problems

Zanzibar. British Guiana, Gam-
bia and the West Indies await
colonial emancipation.

Can Mr. Maulding win the con-
fidence of the colonial peoples
which Mr. Macleod enjoyed?

Also Maulding will have to face
the expected opposition of Com-
monwealth Relations Minister.
Duncan Sandys, who leans to-
ward Welensky and the white-
settler view.

Race Issue

Major trouble is forecasted in
Northern Rhodesia and Kenya
where there is a deadlock over
the pace of independence and
threatening unrest between races.

Perhaps, much of the comment
and criticism raised over the cab-
inet shift may be credited to po-
litical propaganda.

No real reason exists to sug-
gest that the cabinet changes point
to a swing to the right.

Labor Confidence

The sudden revival of the Labor
party confidence has necessitated
the preparation of the Conserva-
tives to win the next election.

Tory spokesmen credit the cabi-
net shift to this situation.

Doubtless, many of you who read
this column were unaware of the
cabinet shift in Great Britain.

Perhaps we become too con-
cerned at times with the domestic
policies of those countries which
we regard as potentially danger-
ous.

Allies' Domestic Scene

Awareness of situations indica-
tive of change bear careful atten-
tion even though they do not con-
stitute a threat in any sense.

An appreciation and understand-
ing of the internal problems faced
by our allies will facilitate our
relations with them on an inter-
national level.

Our world awareness must not
be limited to those nations which
we fear, but must also encompass
those which we trust.

Molly Dotson Leads
Convocation Today

Convocation this morning was
devoted to the singing of hymns
and campus songs by the entire
campus community.

A special number sung by the
faculty under the direction of Miss
Kate McKemie augmented the pro-
gram of pep songs and the slower
school songs.

The proposed new alma mater,
written last year by Dr. Timothy
Miller was sung and a second pro-
posed alma mater, written and
played by Dr. Raymond Martin,
college organist, was introduced.

Hymns, especially those related
to Agnes Scott, concluded the pro-
gram. The convocation closed with
a worship service led by President
Wallace Alston.

Black Cat

(Continued from Page 1)

cate the cat chorus, the head cats
escorted them to the places of in-
terest of Britain, Africa, a summit
meeting and a night club.

The cat chorus first traveled to
Britain where they saw the sopho-
more class give its rendition of
British snobbery.

The juniors took them to Africa
to see a cannibal capture of a
hunting party searching for
"snipes".

Summit Spoof

The seniors presented a summit
conference to give the cats a view
of the world situation. In a beauty
and talent contest among the
nations, "Mis-Understanding"
reigned as queen.

The completion of the cat's edu-
cation was a view of the famed
"Club '65," which was a talent
show presented by the freshman
class. Charlotte Webb, Cindy Cole-
man, Julie Wells, Connie Whittet,
Dee Chandler and Jo Patterson
introduced their show with a song.

Freshman Talent

Arnall Broach gave a comic
rendition of various musical com-
posers. Liz Parkins and Lyn Max-
well presented a Hawaiian dance.
"The World Quartet" composed of
Jean Hoefer, Masey Brown, Ann
Elrod and Margaret Calhoun sang
a ukulele accompaniment.

Returning to the twenties, Robin
Belcher danced the Charleston.
Nancy Yontz gave a monologue of
"The White Magnolia". Concluding
the freshman talent show, Rose
Hoover played Beethoven's
"Pathetique."

The Black Cat Chorus concluded
the show with their song of "Grand
'62".

Friendship Symbol

After the skits, Betty Hood,
president of the sophomore class,
presented the Black Cat to Mary
Lowndes Smith, the Black Cat
Chairman of the freshman class.

Ann Thompson, president of
Mortar Board, received a dozen
red carnations as a token of
thanks for her work on Black Cat.
She presented Virginia Allen with
a gift from the cast.

James Brown and his band play-
ed for the Black Cat Dance, held
in Rebekah Recreation Room im-
mediately following the celebration
in the gym.

Hockey Ball Relates;
Events of Black Cat

By ELEANOR LEE

May I introduce myself as the "poor ole tired out hockey
ball, weary, worn and bruised." Last Friday around 3:45, Miss
Wilburn disturbed me from the nap I was taking in the little
red bag in which she keeps me and my friends.

Before I knew it I was in the

start, I noticed all these red and
gray figures bearing down upon
me. In particular I remember this
Frenchy-looking girl and this short
little girl in gray-definitely Ameri-
can.

In spite of many bruises, I en-
joyed zipping around the field. I'd
say both teams had their share of
me. Congrats, you most illustrious
seniors for your victory over the
juniors 1 to 0.

Freshman Skill Spirit

There is one group to whom I
wish to give special recognition,
Dennises, step forward. You were
the class who was super both in
spirit and skill.

The sophomores played a hard
game, but you freshmen played
just a little bit harder and a little
bit better. Congratulations! You
deserved your victory of 1 to 0.
You have a good class.

Whether a class won or lost,
happiness and love of life reigned
throughout. Thanks for a most ex-
hilirating day on the hockey field.
It was worth every bruise. Lets
make the rest of the season as
exciting as the Black Cat games.

center of a vacant hockey field.
Suddenly out of the middle of
nowhere came a
mass of little
boys with sling
shots singing
"Dennis the
Menace."
Following
them came a
huge rabbit. All
I could see were
ears, eyes and whiskers quite
strange I thought. This was not
all.

The Mascots

There was a menagerie of people,
or perhaps I should say of animals,
coming from let me see Pooh
Corner. Really an interesting
group.

Last but far from least came
Yogi Bear and his crew. This
group has prestige and distinction
because for "4 long years they've
labored." However they surely
weren't "weary, worn and blue."

at a hockey game.

Debate
Support

Team Encourages
of Student Body

Resolved: "That labor organiza-
tions ought to be under jurisdiction
of anti-trust legislation" will be
the topic for the first debate in
which the Agnes Scott College de-
bating team will participate this
year.

The debating team will travel
to Macon on October 28 where the
debate will be held with Mercer
University.

Among those who tried out for
this year's affirmative team were
Sarah Adams, Doris Sanders, Judy
Little and Lana Mueller; and for
the negative were Sharon Atkins,
Margaret Rodgers, Betty Jean Har-
per and Meade Boswell. From these
four were chosen by Dr. Hayes.

"Dr. Hayes has been wonderful
about helping us. We all have been
working hard in order to make
this year a very successful one,"
said Sharon Atkins, president of
the debating club.

This year courses in debate are
being offered. Dr. Hayes is teach-
ing two courses this fall, Argu-
mentation and Debate Problems.
Winter quarter these courses will
be combined into one.

"Our goal for this year is to
revive debating on the campus and
promote as much interest in this
area as possible. This, indeed, is
one area in which A^nes Scott
needs to excel."

"Y.'e are going to as many
tournaments as we can this quar-
ter, because we feel these trips
will help revive debating interest."
stated Doris Sanders.

Campus Considers Program;
I. R. C Sponsors Awareness

By LYN HORN

It has taken a summer full of world crises for the students
of this college to realize that something outside of our De-
catur dreamworld is worthy of our attention and con-
sideration.

The subject arose again and
again at the September Student
Government Retreat and there it
was decided that a new emphasis
should be placed upon world
awareness at Agnes Scott College.

As a result of this decision an
Awareness Committee was set up,
consisting of the following mem-
bers: Carolyn Newton, chairman;
Eleanor Lee, representative from
A. A. ; Julianne Williams, repre-
sentative from C. A.; Marilyn
McDaniel, representative from So-
cial Council; Lyn Horn, repre-
sentative from the International
Relations Club, and Doris Sanders,
The News.

"Table Topics"

The Committee is also working
in conjunction with I.R.C. to help
launch a program which will in-
clude "table topics" for dining
hall discussion, various debates
and discussions in the Hub, a
chapel program later on in the
quarter and as many interesting
and qualified speakers as can be
found.

The Committee is also working
on the possibility of having news-
paper circulation to the dorms. If
a student keeps up with the news,
then it is certain that the Pro-
gram of Awareness will be

tremely meaningful and valuable.

To top off all of this I.R.C. now
has its own office in the Hub
the "blue room" on the first floor
in which there will be a file
holding all the material which is
received from the U. N., the
C. C. U. N., the N. S. A. and other
notable organizations.

This room and file will be
available to all students who wish
to use the material for research
or simply enlightening, enjoyable
reading.

Doris Sandeers, Betty Jean Harper, Sarah Adams and Sharon
Atkins are seen practicing for their ensuing debates.

C A Nets $2,600 in Pledges
To Complete'61 -62 Budget

By SHARON EDWARDS

Christian Association has gotten off to a good start this
year receiving pledges amounting to $2,600. The campus-wide
effort met with pledges from 320 persons. Fifty more people
pledged this year than last year, and the amount pledged
topped by $400 the amount pledged last year.

Sue Heinrich, secretary of C. A

says that the hope is that this
year's amount received will come
nearer equaling the amount
pledged than in previous years.
It was emphasized in chapel that
response was a note of confidence,
and that in order for C. A. to
carry out a successful program,
students must regard their pledges
more seriously.

World Budget

The total figure for all proposed
activities is $2,210. The budget is
divided into four sections. The
first of these, Our World, includes
among other things such obliga-
tions as paying one-fifth of the
salaries of two missionaries in
Korea. C. A. also sends representa-
tives to the World Student Fed-
eration and to the World Univer-
sity Service. The amount allocated
here is $625.

The second section of the bud-
get, Our Country, includes dues to
the Y.W.C.A. with which C. A. is
affiliated, and expenses for stu-
dent conferences. A total of $800
is set aside for Our Country.

Community Service

Aid to local community groups
such as Scottish Rite Hospital, the
Methodist Children's Home, juve-
nile court and home for the aged
is headed under section three of
the budget, Our Community. This
section is allotted $150.

The fourth section, Our Campus,
includes the expenses for all the
religious and related activities on
campus that are sponsored by
C. A. Among the many C. A. -in-
spired campus functions are Re-
ligious Emphasis Week, Inter-
faith Council, World Relatedness
Week, vespers and Tuesday
chapels. C. A. also plays a big
part in orientation. For this sec-
tion, $635 is set aside.

ASC Graduate, '57,
Displays Paintings

Jo Anne Nix, Agnes Scott '57,
was honored Sunday at a coffee
in the Art Department Gallery, the
opening of her exhibit of fifteen oil
paintings which were submitted as
thesis paintings for her Master of
Fine Arts Degree at the University
of Georgia last spring.

Miss Nix's paintings, including
abstracts, several studio paintings,
and a self-portrait, all in oils, will
be exhibited in the Art Depart-
ment Gallery, third floor Buttrick
Hall, until November 13.

A native of Hapeville, Georgia,
Miss Nix was an art major at
Agnes Scott. Here she served as
an assistant editor of the Agnes
Scott News, Publicity Chairman of
the Lecture Association, and
Publicity Director of Christian
Association.

Miss Nix received her Master of
Fine Arts Degree last spring at the
University of Georgia, where she
was honored at a reception and
an exhibition of her work.

One of her paintings, titled
Oriental Theme, has been sub-
mitted to this year's National
Federation of Arts Tour, represent-
ing the University of Georgia.

AA Plans Activities
For GARF Visitors

On October 27 and 28, Agnes
Scott will be hostess to the Geor-
gia Athletic and Recreation Fed-
eration for the College of Women
better known as GARFCW or
"GARF." There will be representa-
tives from many women's athletic
associations in Georgia.

Included on the agenda will be a
panel discussion to which the entire
campus is invited. The panel will
be made up of outside people from
Atlanta who are well versed on the
subject of the need for physical
alertness.

Also on the schedule is a modern
dance exhibition presented by one
of the colleges attending the con-
ference. Friday night Agnes Scott
will offer various types of recrea-
tion such as fencing, folk dancing
and other indoor sports.
The conference will end at 3 p.m.
on Saturday.

'ASC News' Sponsors Contest
In Effort To Rename Publication

For several months there has been much discussion about
changing the name of the "Agnes Scott News." A random
poll of the student body produced these comments and sug-
gestions:

Linda Wilson "If the name of
the paper is changed it should
have a world awareness theme."

Meade Boswell "There should
be something in the title character-
istic of Agnes Scott, but it should
emphasize the world."

Linda Bullock, Judy Knowles
and Jolly Campbell were in agree-
ment that the new name should be
"less formal."

Distinctive Name
Scottie Roberts "It should be
something distinctive but not
snobby."

Tabby Tyler suggested "The
Shaft," and Tina Doherty wants
the paper called "The Twist."

Three students who prefer to re-
main anonymous (for obvious rea-

sons) suggested "The Ideal," "Hi
cott," and "Poor Lucy's Almanac."
"The Monitor"
Ruth Seagle suggested "The
Monitor," and Doris Sanders, 'The
Inquisitor" and "The Record."

Beth Crawford and Libby Harsh-
barger gave the matter much
thought and came up with these
ideas: Beth "The Grumbler,"
"The Last Word" and "The
Prober;" Libby "The Censor,"
"The Informer" but preferably,
"The Equivicator."

A box will be placed in the mail
room today for students to submit
suggestions. A prize is being offer-
ed to the student whose suggestion
is chosen by the editorial staff.

The staff requests that all con-
tributions be of a serious nature.

Georgian Justice

The state of Georgia has gone to great lengths to describe
and define the period of adolescence. A youth is not con-
sidered responsible behind the wheel of a car until he is 16.
He is not considered to be endowed with enough foresight
to quit school until he is 17.

He is not supposed to be physically and
mentally mature enough to be a member of
the Army or to vote until he is 18.

He cannot marry without parental con-
sent, or decide to drink, until he is 21. But
when can he be electrocuted? At 14 . . .

There were factors against Cobb, emotional
as well as practical. First, he was investi-
gated and declared sane. He was never, for
all appearances, emotionally disturbed. His
teachers reported that he was one of the most popular
children in his class.

Unfortunately, Georgia does not recognize temporary or
momentary insanity. Nonetheless, would not the power and
the will to kill regardless of the results of all the testing
in the world indicate ,a mind that was unhealthy?

Also against Cobb was the way in which he carried out
his vengeance. The murder was brutal, unwarranted.
His victim was a very respected member of a community.
Public sentiment was rightfully aroused at the time of the
murder ... an eye for an eye the good Book says.

The main factor against Cobb is this: he is a colored child;
he was tried in south Georgia by an all white jury.

It is obvious that Cobb cannot be set free. Of course we
have no assurance that he will not kill again, and the prin-
ciples of justice demand that he meet punishment.

Prison would only sharpen his criminalistic tendencies. But
if there is nothing else to do with him, do we kill him?

Man becomes more gentle as his society progresses; kind-
ness is a civilized virtue. Georgia is slowly groping through
the Middle Ages. Better for Cobb that he had been accused
of witchcraft. C.W.

Compulsory Spirit

There's something about Convocation that puts it above
the usual run of chapel-fare and smaller get-togethers of stu-
dents. Then again, there's something a bit awe-inspiring
about the arched ceiling and pulpit of Gaines.

Convocation is usually reserved for the
I major address of visiting lecturers or camp-
us-wide services. Yet this week's Convoca-
tion was a deviation from the norm to say
the least.

To our way of thinking, pep songs are
not in keeping with the established Image
of Convocation and Gaines Chapel. The
lilting lyrics: "I'm gonna-build-me-a-castle-
made-of-purple-and-white with-cigarette-
butts-all-over-the-floor" were painfully inappropriate.
It is said that Dr. Alston yielded to student demands for
a Convocation entirely devoted to school songs, and in
Wednesday's fiasco, it must be said that he conducted the
festivities with his usual grace and decorum.

Even the student leadership was commendable but the
excuse for coming together was not.

The song fest was neither inspiring nor educational.
Utilizing valuable community time in this manner was
equivalent to making "spirit" compulsory.
Tricky, nonsensical "pep songs" are appropriate for the
hockey field Black Cat or student meetings. Yet show-
ing spirit in this manner is an individual decision not to be
exploited in required participation.

If students are to be required to attend a meeting, they
have the right to demand a stimulating hour. If anyone is
deluded by the thought that jumping up and down and
clapping to school songs will end studying and letter-writing
in Convocation, they are sadly mistaken.

For those of us who asked for a song session and those
who managed to feel comfortable and enjoyed it, there is
something to look forward to. Perhaps the next time we
have a Convocation of this nature, the provocative the
poetic the "Granddaddy" of all pep-type songs. "Hi
Scott, Scott Hi Scott" will not be as judiciously omitted.

Letters to Editor

Dear Editor:

In regard to the editorial in
your last issue concerning Black
Cat, I would like to submit the
following comments and clarifica-
tion.

The co-chairmen of Black Cat
this year, Virginia Allen and %
greatly apreciated the help of the
faculty Entertainment Committee
on "other matters" than stage di-
rection.

The skits this year were so
appropriately written that they
needed very little changing from
the original scripts, but those
lines or actions which were de-
leted, were done so by Virginia
and me in all but one or two
cases.

We cut in order to make a bet-
ter production: the Committee
asked reconsideration of certain
things for the same reason.

We do not feel that our free-
dom was infringed upon in those
matters. Rather, we were glad for
their wisdom, which we feel re-
sulted in a better campus produc-
tion and that in itself is the
sole objective of the Committee
in question.

Legislative dictatorship and
constructive criticism are not
the same. The faculty Commit-
tee falls in the latter field.
I do not think the editorial im-
plied that the Committee had any-
thing to do with the lack of
campus humor, but in case there
any misconception, I would like
to clarify it.

It is always in the hands of the
co-chairmen to decide what cri-
teria will be requisite for the skits.
It was entirely Virginia's and my
idea to have no campus humor
for several reasons.

First, we felt that richer hu-
mor would come from sources
other than our campus and that
to encourage real cleverness in
writing would raise the whole
tone of the production.
Second, the "flimsy" excuse of
the incomprehensible nature of
campus humor gains substance
when one realizes that the Fresh-
man class composed one- third of
the people at Black Cat, that they
have not yet been exposed to
enough of the campus humor to
understand it, and that Black Cat
is given in honor of the Freshmen.

We did not cater to Tech, Em-
ory or guests, but we did cater to
the Freshmen. If our venture in
no campus humor was not success-
ful this year, Virginia and I are
willing for next year's co-chair-
men to go back to it in order to
have the best Black Cat possible.

Sincerely,
Ann Thompson

Located in Buckhead at 3106
Peachtree Road is a unique place
called "The Red Dog Saloon" which
abounds in con-
tagious atmos-
phere.

After entering
through authen-
tic swinging
doors ("Long
Branch" style)
and progressing
through a hall-
way lined with windows contain-
ing replicas of the bygone days
such as high button shoes and
bustles, you will suddenly find
yourself in a room filled with gay
blades and their dates singing at
the top of their lungs and making
toasts to the right and left.
The Roaring Twenties
Standing there on the plush car-
pet, you feel as though you have
stepped back some forty years and
are instantly caught up in the spirit
of the group.

Clutching your mug of coke in
one hand and reaching for another
pretzel with the other, you find
your attention drawn to the "straw
hat" man seated at the piano
pounding out such old favorites as
"In the Evening," "Harvest Moon"
and the inevitable "RamblhY
Wreck" while everybody joins in
singing.

"The Red Dog" was spawned of
unusual parentage. In Juneau,
Alaska, there existed a spot which
dispended warmth and comfort to

the hard drinking comraderie of
Alaskan sourdoughs, Eskimos and
.c II -sal ted fishermen.

Wilder Women
This "home away from home"
could no doubt tell tales of the
gold rush of "98," of wild men and
wilder women, of dog sleds, of the
freezing waters of the Klondike
and of snowcapped majestic moun-
tains.

From the still smoking remains
of the Johnson's Gun Shop once
located at the same spot, and
destroyed by fire, sprang the idea
for Atlanta's version of "The Red
Dog."

Here many vestiges of old At-
lanta will be found: stained glass
windows from the Kimball House,
panelling and fireplaces from the
once elegant Paramount Theatre,
the bar front and brass rail from
the old county court house, the
back bar from an old sundry shop
on Washington Avenue and a play-
er piano from a Negro mission.

This cheerful spot tops off an
evening with that perfect touch
and it's easy on your date's pocket
too!

You'll want to know some of the
"rules of th3 houzc" before you
go.

They are: "1) All guns will be
checked with bartender. 2) Spurs
will be removed as they tear up
the carpeting. 3) Gentlemen will
wear coats and ties after 7:45 p.m.
4) In God we trust all others
must pay cash."

School Spirit . . . Ah, what a ring these words have for
the high school cheerleader.
Since one of the purposes of | Rabbit and Dennis the Menace

Black Cat is to set the tone of
the spirit for the coming year, an
analysis of this
elusive concept
seems appro-
priate.

I happen to be
a fun-loving soul
who gets a big
kick out of all
the rah-rah of
of Black Cat and
^ to scream and
yell and frantically jump up and
down even though all of this is
strongly reminiscent of the girls'
camp I attended as a child.
Rah-Rah

Rah-rah is admittedly a marvel-
ous outlet for pent-up frustrations
but is the volume of the scream
necessarily a true indication of the
amount and quality of spirit and
loyalty possessed by the owner of
the vocal cords?

I think not.

I am acquainted with several
useful and hard-working citizens
of our community who are bored
silly by the carryings-on of Black
Cat and Little Girls' Day.

Define Spirit

All right, so real spirit is some-
thing more than commotion and
mass hysteria.

Is it the number of likenesses of
Yogi Bear. Pooh Bear, Harvey the

slapped on walls and trees all over
the campus?

Pranks Spirit?

Is it the number of beds short-
shee'ed, the number of personal
articles "misplaced" and muti-
liated?

Is it the quality and quantity of
racket that can be made at 3
a.m. every night of the week?

(I must digress for one moment
to deliver one short sermon. Please
skip two paragraphs if you pre-
fer.)

Lack of Respect

I am really alarmed by the tales
that I have heard of complete dis-
regard for the privacy of others
of a complete lack of respect for
other students.

I may be an archaic senior
but this does not seem to be
terribly mature of sophisticated
or any of the other glowing terms
that describe the cool, college
woman. It goes without saying
we are striving above all to be
cool, collegiate, and womanly.
Box 84

Is spirit the number of rules
flaunted?

Is it the number of meetings
attended per hour or the number
of classes cut per day?

What is spirit?

84.)

Tense World Views Britain;
Decision On E.E.C. Eminent

By DORIS SANDERS

Following our recent emphasis on awareness of the do-
mestic situations of our allies, we would 1 like to direct atten-
tion toward the European Economic Community and the
question of the expected British membership.

The E.E.C. is a customs union . .

crisis coupled with the Berlin crisis,

has received permission to apply
for membership in the E.E.C.

Formidable opposition exists
which includes the anti-European
Conservatives, the Labor party, the
British Commonwealth and six
countries which belong to a British
commercial association known as
the European Free Trade Associa-
tion.

Britian will never gain member-
ship in the E.E.C. unless the terms
of entry are acceptable to the
Commonwealth, the E.F.T.A. and
the British farmer.

whose members include West Ger-
many, France, Italy, Belgium, the
Netherlands and
Luxembourg.

Some observ-
ers feel that the
ultimate aim of
the E.E.C. is to
develop into a
political federa-
'%.-. jg g&* ;fp* : tion, perhaps a
1 United States of

Europe.

Britain Trailing

In the past few months more
observant Britishers have realized
that their nation is trailing behind
in "the revolution of rising expecta-
tions."

Not only has Great Britain been
pushed out of certain European
markets, but also she faces the
danger of being surpassed by the
E.E.C. in political influence.

British economy is growing too
slowly, and Great Britain has been
unable to export enough goods to
pay for the 50 percent of her food
supply which must be purchased
abroad. Though steps have been
taken which will solve the sixth
balance-of-payment crisis since the
war, the increase in taxes and in-
terest rates will not expand the
economy.

has decided

Certainly, the effects of British
entrance into the European Econo-
mic Community are vital and far-
reaching.

The situation bears watching, for
Great Britain is facing a question
which could affect the future
course of European economic and
political affairs.

Whether British membership in
the E.E.C. or the E.E.C. itself will
benefit those nations involved and
the world remains a question to be
carefully weighed.

Laird Desires Fair Play
In Future Team Games

By MARY LOU LAIRD

Teeth chattered and bare knees turned blue last Friday
afternoon as hockey players braved the winter winds in
order to achieve glory for their respective classes.

In the first game Dennis the

Menace and his team of freshmen
beat the "tired old seniors" by a
score of 3-1. The
first half was
fast and the sec-
ond half was
even faster.

The freshmen
seem to have a
definite advan-
I tage over the up-
perclassmen
namely, stamina. After one trip
down the field, most of us are
ready to flake out, right? Well,
not those frosh! They're an ex-
ception to that rule!

Sophs Trumph
In the second game the sopho-
mores and ole Harv Rabbit
emerged victorious over the
juniors and Winnie by a score of
2-0. After their respective defeats
last week, these teams seemed to
have gained a greater sense of
team playing.

On the whole, the games were
fast and fairly played. Yet there
were several signs of sloppy stick-
handling. I shall use the sopho-
more-junior game as an example
since I have personal knowledge
of it, not that these mistakes were

3. Always pass into a space-not

4. To the advantage of both
teams, don't crowd around the
goalie cage it obstructs the
view of the goalie, the defensive,
and the offensive players.

Book Collectors Vie
For McKimiey Prize

By LUCIA BACOT

"Let every man, if possible, gather some good books under
his roof." These words of W. B. Channing reflect the purpose
of the Louise McKinney Book Award as it is made each year
to an Agnes Scott student.

The award of $50 is presented
in the spring of every year to the
student who has at that time ac-
quired the most interesting and
discriminating personal library in
the opinion of a committee of
judges. The committee's decision
will be based on the initiative and
tasteful selection that the student
shows in forming her collection.

To be eligible for the award, a
collection must contain a rninimum
of fifteen books. These may be in-
expensive editions or second-hand
books, but they should be chosen
with the thought of building a
lasting library. A collection may
contain gifts; however, as a whole
it should represent the owner's

tastes and evaluations.

One Year's Collection

The books representing the col-
lection to be considered are to be
accumulated only during the per-
iod from the last award to the one
for this year. Several fields of in-
terest such as any of the sciences,
fiction, biography, philosophy, po-
etry, drama, history, art or music
or one special field may consti-
tute a collection.

Book collectors should enter the
contest as soon as possible by sub-
mitting their names to any mem-
ber of the English department.
The deadline for entry is the end

Boatwright Announces
Honor Emphasis Plans

By BECKY VICK

"What is left when honor is lost?" is the theme for Honor
Emphasis Week which is to be Nov. 6-10. The symbol for this
week is a cracked world.

By NANCY BRADFORD

The usual squealing girls on roller skates, greased door knobs and other childish pranks
may not usher in the annual Investiture weekend slated for Nov. 3-5.

Little Girls Day, which precedes
the solemn capping of the seniors
scheduled for November 3 at 11:45
a.m., will probably be earned out
in an entirely new way, according
to Ann Gale Hershberger.

Although the seniors will not di-
vulge any of the secrets surround-
ing their activities that day, they
do admit that many innovations
are planned. Ann Gale, who is in
charge of the skit which will be
presented in chapel Friday, prom-
ises an entirely new type of pro-
gram.

Traditional Capping

Miss Mary Boney, professor of
Bible, has been chosen by the sen-
iors to speak at the Investiture
service in Gaines Chapel at 11:45
a.m. Saturday.

Following her talk, Miss Scan-
drett will cap the seniors as she
has done since 1937. The class will
be led into the chapel by their sis-
ter class, the sophomores.

An open house will be held in
Walters' recreation room from 4
to 5:30 Saturday afternoon. Spon-
sored by the college, this reception
is for the .faculty, seniors and their
guests.

Worship Service

Rev. Neill McGeachy, father of
enior Peggy McGeachy, will deliver
the sermon for the Investiture
worship service which will be held
at 11 a.m. Sunday in Gaines.

Dr. James Ross McCain, presi-
dent emeritus, will lead the morn-
ing prayer. Organist for the service
will be Annette Smith, a member
(Continued on Page 5)

The questions which the com-
mittee in charge of this week has
chosen to be discussed through-
the week are "Does the honor
system give us freedom or re-
straint?," "Is the honor system
out of date in the modern world?"
and "What is the relationship
between the honor system and the
rules?"

The committee urges that the
student body take note of these
questions so as to be able to dis-
cuss them meaningfully at the
appropriate time.

Hall Discussions

This significant week will begin
with hall discussions next
Monday. The following morning in
chapel there will be a a choral
reading on honor.

Carey Bowen and Eleanor Lee
will be directing this chapel. That
evening Ann Thompson will lead
a discussion in the Hub at 9:30.
p.m.

On Wednesday the traditional
pledge ceremony will take place
in Gaines. Speaker for this cere-
mony will be Mrs. Margaret Pep-
perdene.

Alumnae To Speak

In chapel the following day,

Sue Amidon will speak. Also, that
evening there will be a Question-
and- Answer period in the Hub.
Leading this discussion will be
four alumnae from the class of
1960. They are Mary Hart Richard-
son, Sybil Strupe, Liza Ambrose
and Nancy Duvall.

To close the scheduled events,
on Friday in chapel there will be
a panel consisting of a boy from
Tech, one from Columbia Seminary
and a girl from ASC who will
speak on their respective honor
systems.

Also, there will be from 12:30-
2 p.m. a luncheon and dis-
cussion for the day students in
Walter's Basement.

The Honor Emphasis Week
Committee is headed by Betsy
Boatwright. Working with her are
Elaine Sayers, Mary Ann Lusk,
D'Etta Brown, Sue Heinrich,
Eleanor Lee and Nancy Walker.
Margaret Moses is the publicity
chairman.

Survival Forum

Is Life Worth Ethical Annihilation?

By C. BENTON KLINE JR.

Editor's Note: The following is an article written by Dr. C. Benton Kline, Dean of the Faculty and associate professor of philosophy at Agnes Scott, which was printed
in the Forum of the Atlanta Journal on October 28.

The current awareness of the possibility of nuclear attack has made us in the United States face the question of survival the likelihood, means,
the conditions.

The fall-out shelter is the symbol of our hope and our anxiety. We study the merits of types of design and construction. We scan lists of supplies.
We threaten to exclude others from our private refuge.

1 not to avoid death, but to avoid

There are two points which
need to be made in the face of
this present preoccupation with
survival.

The first has been made fairly
widely in various forms. It is that
man dare not let his concern for
survival so dominate his life that
he neglects his proper concern
to deal with the conditions which
threaten survival.

Survival is the instinct of the
animal. It is not a distinctively
human aim. Man is able to have
an awareness of his environment
which makes it possible for him
to change it.

He does not simply cope with
conditions he can plan and ex-
ecute measures which may change
conditions.

Put on a national scale the point
is this: If all our energies and re-

sources are devoted to survival,
then they cannot be mobilized to
seek means to eradicate or allevi-
ate the threats of our existence
that force us to face the problem
of survival.

Actually under the present
circumstances survival through
nuclear war is unlikely enough
to drive us to seek to avoid
nuclear war.

The second point is a chal-
lenge to the very conception of
survival.

The point was made by Socrates
in. his defense of himself at his
trial nearly 2,400 years ago: "A
man who is good for anything
ought not to calculate the chance
of living or dying; he ought only
to consider whether in doing any-
thing he is doing right or wrong.
. . . The difficulty, my friends, is

unrighteousness; for that runs
faster than death"

Man is not meant just to live,
but to live well. To survive is
not enough man must be able
to live humanly. Merely to
survive without concern for the
quality of life is unworthy.
The point is made somewhat
differently in the Christian con-
text. Consider the words of Jesus:
'Whoever seeks to gain his life
will lose it, but whoever loses his
life will preserve it." (Luke 17:33).

This is a paradoxical statement,
but it points up to a vital distinc-
tion, the distinction between
biological life and human living.
The preservation of life
surviving as a living creature
is not sufficient. Indeed atten-
tion to that alone may keep

man from achievement of his
proper human end.

In the Christian context life
is a gift of God. "The Lord giveth:
the Lord taketh away; blessed be
the name of the Lord."

Man has nothing to do with his
coming into life, and he has
equally little to do with his going
out of life.

Life existence as a living
creature is out of man's hands,
for it is in the hands of God.
The quality of life, however, is
man's task. God gives us life, but
God expects us to do something
worthwhile with our lives.

We are made in the image of
Gcd, who is the Creator. We are
to fulfill that image by ourselves
being creators.

We cannot spend our creative
energy on merely preserving our

lives, on finding the means to
survive, for if we do, then we
shall fail to do our creative
work in the world, we shall fait
to produce the value in life
which is expected of us.
Certainly we must survive if
this creative work is to go on, if
we are to be able to produce
value in our lives.

But the possibility of survival
without creativity and moral en-
deavor is a bleak prospect, and
one to which we cannot properly
devote all our energies.

Without presumption and
without a mere fatalism, we
must accept from God the begin-
ning and ending of our life and
devote ourselves not merely to
survival but to our task of mak-
ing life good.

Bombs or Santa?

Childhood is fondly remembered as a happy, sun-filled
time of carefree expeditions into the world of fantasy of
dolls, butterflies, games and tea parties.

Yet the world of today's children is marred
by the anxiety which they sense from con-
versations overheard between parents or from
; angry messages flashing from the family radio
| or television.

The shadows lengthen and our children
themselves worry about the world they
hope to inherit. In these days of United
Nations haggling and summit conferences, it
is significant that the most trenchant pleas
for peace have been voiced not by world statesmen but by
children.

An eleven-year-old girl, named Debra, from Massachusetts,
wrote the following in a letter addressed to Mr. Khruschev:
"I am eleven years old and have a baby sister ten months
old named Abby.

"I am writing to you, Mr. Khruschev, to ask you not to
explode the big bomb at the end of this month. Scientists
claim the fallout from this bomb will affect milk and chil-
dren's bones.

"I don't care for myself because I am big, but my baby
sister has a lot of growing to do.

"She drinks a lot of milk, so please, Mr. Khrushchev,
don't hurt her and others like her.

"I understand you have grandchildren yourself so you
know how I feel about her."
From another little girl, an eight-year-old named Michele
who lives in Michigan, came a letter to Mr. Kennedy. She was
distressed that if Khrushchev exploded the fifty-megaton
bomb in Siberia with its proximity to the North Pole, Santa
Claus would be killed.

This last letter is reminiscent of the little girl named
Virginia who wrote the New York Sun asking if there was a
Santa Claus. Yet Michele isn't concerned with his reality but
his continued existence.

The poignancy of a child who worries that mankind will
destroy Santa Claus strikes an accompanying note of fear
in adult hearts the fear that all that the symbol of Santa
Claus involved will be lost forever.

The Spirit of Giving, The Spirit of Love, The Spirit of
Hope these are the three facets of the physical embodiment
known as Saint Nicholas, Kris Kringle, Santa Claus to chil-
dren of five or fifty across the globe.

The Spirit of Giving would be lost the gifts in art, in
science, in self-government that men have labored unselfishly
to provide for their brothers since the beginning of time.
This Spirit has paved the way of progress of man to this
modern plateau of nations and the common effort to nrovide
families and loved ones with a world filled with peace and
prosperity.

The Spirit of Love that has spurred men to lay down their
lives for the preservation of a better life for those they left
behind would be lost. Even the Spirit of Hope for a better
tomorrow would he lost if the horrors of nuclear "testing"
goes unleashed upon the world.

Should Santa Claus be killed, the ambitions of a tyrant will
be of little value as the survivors survey the smoky ruins of
a once beautiful world.

At the North Pole or in the hearts of men, if Santa Claus is
not already dead he has good cause for weeping. L.B.S.

Dear Editor:

I have sensed with concern the
increasing negativism in thinking
that has become so prevalent on
our campus. It is the vogue to cut
and tear down with sarcasm and
cynicism most anything we come
in contact with. But is this a
healthy and constructive approach?

The issues that have been re-
cently commented upon have cer-
tainly warranted criticism but why
must we take everything we dis-
agree with and crush it under our
feet?

This negativism seems to me to
be a generalized attitude that
creeps into most conversations as
well as the classroom and publica-
tions.

I would not for a moment ad-
vocate a lessening of critical ob-
servation but I feel that condem-
nation has replaced real criticism
in our thinking. If one is continual-
ly cutting things out and throw-
ing them away, there will soon be
nothing left.

A negative approach in think-
ing and commenting is indicative
of a weakness within ourselves and
an easy way out. To oppose and be
cynical requires little inner streng
th and conviction.

Freedom seems to be the key
word in this matter, for if we were
truly being freed as a result of
our liberal education then the need
to oppose and criticize in a squel-
ching and destructive manner
would not be felt.

I would suggest then that we
strive for a "positive realism" in
our approach, freeing ourselves
from cynicism and sarcasm long
enough to do some clear, search-
ing thinking on our own terms.

This certainly would be more
helpful than striking out negative-
ly at anything we can find to op-
pose. Positive language, thinking
and acting can be just as power-
ful and convincing as a negative
attitude.

Sincerely,
Sue Heinrich

Editor's Note: We would point
out that there is an extremely
fine line between so-called
"positive" and "negative" think-
ing. The stylistic negative ap-
proach, as in editorials, is used
with discretion to more effec-
tively cope with what we con-
sider "negative" subject mater-
ial.

On the contrary, we believe
it requires more "inner
strength" to print what would
be considered in some circles
to be an unpopular opinion, in-
deed a criticism of any nature.

Dear Editor:

As students at Agnes Scott we
are subject to various penalties
according to the seriousness of acts
detrimental to the working order
of the school. We get call-downs
for inaccurate signing in and out.

We get campused for an accumu-
lation of call-downs and for more
major offenses. Suspension or ex-
pulsion accompany breaking the
non-drinking code or academic dis-
honesty.

I should like to see an even
stiffer penalty imposed on those
who refuse to scream school songs,
or wear bunny tails, or do other
such things that mar the wonder-
ful atmosphere of our campus.
Perhaps we could tar and feather
those violators . . . and then bum
them at the stake during the next
pep rally.

Sincerely,

The Anti-Intellectual League

From Love, Honor

Honor Emphasis Week begins Monday, but honor is not
something to which we can devote merely one week; before
we may emphasize honor we must decide what it is.

Honor goes deeper than turning oneself in
to Exec for smoking on the Hub steps after
late time limit; it goes deeper than speaking
to a friend who consistently refuses to sign
cut; it goes deeper than resisting the tempta-
tion to "give or receive aid" on an examina-
tion.

Nor is honor refusing a drink when we are
on a weekend hundreds of miles away and
| "no one will ever know." Honor is not the
pat we give ourselves on our backs when we turn clown an
invitation to an apartment.
And yet honor is involved in all these things.
The cynicism of today makes light of the concept of love,
but if we are to have a working honor code, we cannot dis-
miss love. For honor and love are so inextricably interwoven
than it is impossible to separate the two concepts.

Honor at Agnes Scott is an expression of love for the
innumerable and nameless people whose dedication has
made the college what it is. Honor at Agnes Scott is an
expression of love for the college itself.
But we cannot deny that there are some students for whom
Agnes Scott is almost meaningless. Dedication to the cause
of Agnes Scott, and love of that dedication and that cause,
are unrealities to those students.

And even they are involved in the concept of honor. For
they cannot deny love of self, and, in the last analysis, honor
is love of oneself and belief in one's own dignity as a human
being that dignity which raises the individual above the
crowd and finds its expression of love in truth to itself.

And just as Agnes Scott is the total of its individuals, the
individual is Agnes Scott. To show contempt for honor is
to show contempt for oneself. To respect oneself is to re-
spect the Agnes Scott honor code. M.W.

'Spirit Question'

By LYN HORN

Last week The News! asked a question which I have been
asking for three years now: "What is school spirit?" "Spirit"
means enthusiastic loyalty in our case, loyalty to the col-
lege.

For what reasons should I be
loyal to Agnes Scott? Why did I
choose Agnes Scott? I did not
choose Agnes Scott for 1) its pep
rallies, 2) its bonfires, 3) its fun
festivals or 4) its picnics. I knew
nothing and cared nothing about
any "spirit curriculum" which
might be offered.

Instead, I came here because
Agnes Scott offered an excellent
faculty, a carefully arranged aca-
demic system and a community of
valuable students. I am loyal to
Agnes Scott for these things, which
are basically of a serious nature.

Out of this loyalty has arisen
many mixed emotions. Few of them
are of the cheerleading type. Rath-
er I am more content in serving
the school in a more constructive
manner.

There are innumerable services
the student can perform, if it only
be drawing a publicity poster or
two once in a while. In this way I
should like to give back a frac-
tion of that which the school has
offered me.

Granted, fun festivals help great-
ly to get rid of the "blues" as
well as to revive collectively our
patriotic fervor. But how far should
we go with these affairs and how
successful are they?

Personally, when I fell like
cheering I feel it spontaneously
at unexpected times. To me, there
is nothing more unnatural or
strained than a morning chapel
session of cheers.

Who, may I ask. is sincerely in
the mood for producing barbaric
screams between two morning

hours of academic thought? Not I.
I would rather sleep for 30 minu-
tes, refreshing my mind for the
next class hour.

Here is only an example of what
I call unnecessary reaffirmation of
faith in Agnes Scott. To whom
are we shouting our loyalty to
each other? If not, then why don't
we buckle down and try some-
thing really constructive?

I am not advocating terminating
our program of pep. What I am
trying to say is: rallies and festi-
vals are offered. Fine. Attend
them when the mood arises.

But what we should not feel is
that "big brother is counting
points" for all the rallies we've
been to, to see who's the most loyal
the most spirited. Why? Be-
cause at times people stake too
much on the superficial revelation
of "spirit," which is an element so
abstract that in reality it can war-
rant no single method of expres-
sion for everyone.

I say put the academic first,
and if this is done, then a loyalty
will arise which will need little
"reaffirmation of faith." I value
this school for its intrinsic ability
to offer every student an excellent
education and four year of enrich-
ing experiences.

For these things I am deeply in-
debted and because of these things
I am sincerely loyal to Agnes
Scott. I wish to make only a frac-
tion of my school spirit manifest
in school yells.

Sincerely,
Lyn Horn

Hub-bub

Tart Relates History
Through Memories

By ETHEL GILMOUR

Perhaps the first person our fathers want to see when they
come to Agnes Scott is Mr. J. C. Tart. They have seen his
signature many times and want to behold this man who is
responsible for their financial contributions to higher educa-
tion.

Many times I have gone into his
office to discuss my financial
blunders, and always I leave with
a new and inter-
esting tale of
some sort! For
example, every-
one should hear
Mr. Tart on the
subject of Elean-
or Roosevelt.

On this parti-
cular day, how-
ever, I walked down the hall of
Buttrick with the intention of be-
ing a dignified and serious report-
er. As I approached his office, I
smelled cigar fumes and knew that
my subject was in his office at
work.

"By Ganza!"

I walked up to the counter and
quietly said, "Mr. Tart." . . . The
door flew open and a gruff voice
said, "Come on in here, By Ganza,
I haven't seen you in a long time.
When is your marriage date set,
By Ganza, a reporter, huh, some
reporter you are. Going to use re-
corded news as evidence. By Gan-
za."

Now this gruffness might scare
some people, but Mr. Tart lets his
secret out in his eyes. His brown
eyes just twinkle with good fun,
his whole face catches on and
there is a smile in every wrinkle.

"Well," he said, propping back
in his chair, "I came to Agnes
Scott in 1942, no 1914, about the
time you started to date. Yes,
there was a barbed-wire fence all
around the campus, and at night
the gates were locked. Those gates
were locked on Saturday afternoon
and stayed locked to Monday
morning.

Back Then

"I remember that Dr. Gaines'
own son would come on Sunday
afternoon and those gates would
not even be unlocked for him. He
would have to leave his car at the
entrance gate and walk to his
father's house.

"You girls today can't visualize
how things were back then. Back
in those days things were pretty
strict. A girl couldn't go anywhere
without a chaperon. Stukes and I,
we had to be chaperons for every-
thing. One day I just walked up
to Dr. Gaines and told him that I
wasn't hired to be a chaperon, and
that was the end of that.

"When I first came I didn't date
any of the students (had plenty of
chance to though), but I was en-
gaged. But you take Stukes, he
dated up a storm.

Story on Dr. Stukes

At this point in my interview I
could tell that Mr. Tart had an
interesting tale up his sleeve, but
was in doubt whether he should
relate it or not. His whole face
just smiled sheepishly, he picked
his cigar and told this tale on Dr.
Stukes.

"There used to be two street-
cars that left from Atlanta for De-
catur, one at 5 in the afternoon
and one at 11 at night. Well,
Stukes met a student at the train
and was planning to chaperon her
back on the street car which left
at 11 o'clock.

"By Ganza, the train was late

J. C. TART

and they missed the street car. So
Stukes and the student walked up
and down the street all night the
police liked to have put them in
jail."

Depression Tales

After telling this, we both ended
up in gales of laughter, and Mr.
Tart immediately told me another
amusing tale.

"Back in the depression there
was a ten percent cut in our sal-
ary. Now this was pretty hard on
us, because we weren't getting
anything to start with. Yes, I re-
member some fathers would try
and give cotton for tuition money.
One or two, by Ganza, brought
chickens and produce, but this
didn't amount to anything."

"Mr. Tart," I asked, "tell me
why did you stay here for so many
years." I could tell by his kindly
eyes and thoughtful smile that he
was thinking of other times.

The

Roving

Reporter;

This is the roving reporter,
launching a new series of inter-
views with students on campus.
The interviews will always involve
the most controversial events
making headlines across the
nation.

The question of the week: should
Red China be admitted to the
United Nations and should it be
recognized by the United States?

One of the biggest issues before
the United States concerning the
United Nations is the possible
recognition of Red China and its
admittance to the United Nations.

The other day, as I was roving,
I found that students heartily dis-
agree with one another on this
subject:

Ethel Gilmour: "I feel that Red
China should be recognized be-
cause one cannot ignore a vast
amount of people and pretend they
do not exist. For example, if you
have a sore that bothers you
tremendously, do you ignore it?
You cannot. You must treat it.
Red China is, a sore, but it is also
a part of the whole."

Doris Sanders: "Which is more
important: recognizing the regime
which technically represents 700
million Chinese or backing the
Nationalist Chinese who are try-
ing to preserve principles of
freedom and democracy in order to
have a democratic China in the
future?"

Libby Harshbarger: "I'm unde-
cided. If the U.N. is our only basis
of communication then Red China
should be admitted to the U.N. But
would the recognition of Red
China be a defeat for United
States prestige and Western
ideology?"

Julie Norton: "If you have to
have the United Nations with its
avowed purpose being world
peace, it is illogical to admit a
country whose avowed purpose is
belligerency and aggression. This
is born out by their recent
actions in Southeast Asia."

Beth Crawford: "The only way
to know the truth about a country
is to associate with it."

U.S.S.R. Endangers World
With Unethical H-Bomb Test

By DORIS SANDERS

A frightened world quivers as the Soviet Union rattles a
50 megaton saber in a campaign designed to terrorize man-
kind into submission.

less nuclear testing will bring dan-
ger and unhappiness for all man-
kind for generations to come."
Radiation Increase
The Lower House of the Japa-
nese Parliament has called for the
nuclear testing to end immediately.

Finland's largest newspaper,
"Helsingin Sanonat," has called
the 50 megaton test the "warning
shot of the cold war meant to
show the world the military pre-
paredness of the U.S.S.R."

The Atomic Affairs Ministry in
Bonn announced that radioactivity
over West Germany has increased
ten to 20 times since the renewal
of Soviet tests.

Students' Protest

Protests and rallies have occur-
red in Europe and the United
States.

A week ago today, 4,000 students
marched in Copenhagen to protest
against Russian testing.

In eight towns and cities in Italy
students demonstrated against So-
viet nuclear experimentation.
Picketing of U.N.
There has been picketing in New
York in front of the U.N. building.

A group of mothers picketing in
New York issued the following
statement: "We are certain Rus-
sian mothers, like American moth-
ers, would relish being grandmoth-
ers It is our sincerest wish we
shall all get that opportunity."

On October 28 the U.N. General
Assembly voted 87 to 11 in pro-
test against Rusian nuclear test-
ing. Needless to say the 11 votes
came from the Soviet block.
Russian Aggression
If the Russians continue nuclear
testing, dangerous atmospheric
conditions will result.

Perhaps Sir Michael Wrighc,
chief British delegate to the U.N.,
has summarized world feeling in
the following statement:

"Who is being aggressive? This
is a threat from one country, the
Soviet Union, to ourselves, to our
children and to the survival of
life on this planet."

Wholesale Panic

Certainly, wholesale panic will
solve nothing.

We must make a great effort to
comprehend the existing situation.

Reliable and accurate accounts
of Russian experimentation will
serve to offset the power of fear
and the imagination.

World reaction has proved that
there no longer exists doubt con-
cerning Russian tactics and inten-
tions.

Time of Opportunity

The outward mask of Soviet
peace proposals has crumbled.

We are living during a critical
hour.

The words of Winston Church-
ill, spoken during World War II,
(Continued on Page 4)

As we write, the U.S.S.R. is ex-
pected to explode a 50 megaton
bomb somewhere in the vast waste-
lands of Siberia.

As we observe horror and dread
spreading like a
crippling disease
over the civiliz-
ed world we stop
and ask: How has
man devised such
a weapon of death
and destruction?

As World War
II began, nuclear
physicists realized that it might
be possible to produce powerful
bombs involving nuclear reactions.
History of Bomb
During the course of the war,
scientists from the United States,
Great Britain and France develop-
ed two types of atomic bombs, the
Hiroshima type (fission of uranium
-235) and the Nagasaki type (fis-
sion of plutonium-239).

The two bombs contained explo-
sive energy somewhere betweer
15,000 and 20,000 tons of TNT
which made them 1,000 times as
powerful as the greatest of the
great bombs used during the sec-
ond world war.

From these beginnings has de-
veloped the 50 megaton Russian
terror-bomb.

Psychology of Fear

One megaton is equal to 1.000,
000 tons of TNT.

The Soviet Union has multiplied
one megaton 50 times to produce
a weapon with which it can in-
timidate the world as a bully brow-
beats a younger child.

The psychology of fear has oc-
casioned a chain reaction as na-
tion after nation stimulated by
panic and dread prepares for the
effects of the Soviet test explo-
sion.

Protective Precautions

Health authorities in Iceland and
.he Scandinavian countries are tak-
ing emergency precautions to pro-
tect milk, water and fodder for
livestock from radiation.

In Helsinki, the Institute of
Radiation Physics has reported
that the radioactivity of rainwater
in Finland has increased five to
ten times since Soviet renewal of
nuclear testing.

Great Britain has plans to dis-
tribute supplies of uncontaminat-
ed powered milk for babies.
"War On Babies"

British newspapers have called
the testing of the 50 megaton bomb
"War On Babies," "Megaton Hor-
ror" and Khruschev's Crime."

A government spokesman warn-
ed the Japanese that "within a
few days the ash of death from tne
latest nuclear explosion will i all
n Japan."

The Japanese protested sharply
to the Kremlin saying that "reek-

Tm king of the mountain!"

French, German Tables
Offer Experience, Fun

Faites-attention! All of you with
Carol ingian and Hohenzollern in-
terests come and dine a la in-
ternationale at the French and
German tables!

Ann Gale Hershberger says the
enthusiasm this year has been
"tremendous" from French stu-
dents or just anyone interested in
putting a language to practical
use. The French table is held night-
ly Monday through Thursday, with
usually between ten and twenty
people attending.

Discussions range from whatever
is new in French literature, thea-
tre, or the arts, to politics a per-
ennial favorite.

Both Ann Gale and Sue Amidon,
who has helped organize the Ger-
man group, agree that one of the
main attractions of the tables is
that it gives girls a chance to ask
questions or speak out without fear
of saying the wrong thing.

"Corrections are taken a lot more
lightly at the dinner table than in
the classroom, and EVERYONE
can enjoy the joke."

Molly Gehan, who comes from
Stuttgart, Germany, and Margue-
rite Ehrbar, a native Deutsch
speaker from Switzerland have
contributed much toward making
the red, gold and black of the
German flag seem more at home
in the Agnes Scott dining hall.
Mrs. Essich, who works in the
dining hall, speaks German and
greets her fellow Deutsch-lovers
with "Guten Aben" as they file
through the cafeteria lines for
dinner.

Both Ann Gale and Sue invite
anyone who would like to add a
cosmopolitan dash to dining to
come join them some evening.

Class Studies Pol!
To Apply Sociology

In an effort to apply sociology
to the Agnes Scott campus the
sociology 203 class conducted an
opinion poll to determine the gene-
ral campus attitude on lunch-coun-
ter desegregation.

The questionnaires circulated at
hall meetings contained questions
for the purpose of separating the
answers into groups in addition to
the three basic questions:

1. Are you in sympathy with the
movement for lunch-counter and
restaurant desegregation?

2. Would you eat at a lunch
counter or in a restaurant with a
Negro?

3. If the tables were filled in a
restaurant and you could not eat
by yourself, would you be willing
to sit at a table with a Negro?

The class is attempting to re-
late the type of answers received
to the age of the student, her
home state, the size of her home
town and her parents' occupation
or profession.

As of now, the tabulation of the
results has not been completed.
Dr. Anna G. Smith, associate pro-
fessor of sociology and economics,
says, "Over 500 students have re-
sponded, and we are attempting to
make this number even larger."

Senior Molly Dotson Receives
Tribute For Outstanding Service

One of the most versatile and
talented students in the senior
class is Molly Dotson.

Molly, an English major from
Carthage, North Carolina, has par-
ticipated in many school activities
since she has been at Agnes Scott.

The field of drama and dance
is Molly's specialty. As a member
of Blackfriars, she worked back-
stage on several of their produc-
tions. Last year she participated
in experimental drama, "Illuminati
in Drama Libre."

Outstanding Actress

For her performance in the May
Day presentation of "Electra,"
Molly was awarded the Claude S.
Bennett trophy for the outstanding
actress of 1960.

Last year Molly was the chair-
man of the Black Cat skit-writing
committee for her class. She also
had the lead in her class's Junior
Jaunt skit.

As president of Dance Group,
Molly is currently working on their
'hristmas program. She is also pre-
sident of the Westminster Fellow-
ship at Druid Hills Presbyterian
Church.

Spirit Chairman

Another of Molly's activities is
serving as spirit chairman of Ath-
letic Association. As chairman she
directed "Hey-Day" activities this
fall.

After graduation Molly hopes to
continue her work in the field of
drama.

For her performance in the May
Moily was awarded the Claude S
ing actress of 1960.

Evils of Grades

By CAROLINE HUGHES

Grades are a necessary evil. The word "necessary" is
obvious enough the faculty need some way of indicating
progress.

The word "evil" should be equal-
ly obvious, for grades are not al-
ways a true indication of the extent
of the learning
process.

Some students
simply work bet-
ter under the
pressure of a
test than others,
even though both
may have an
equal mastery of
involved.
Over-emphasis
Grades are also an evil in that
an over-emphasis on them may
lead to the false assumption that
we study to make A's not to
learn.

I believe that such an over-em-
phasis exists at Scott, where the
competition in the area of grades

is often fierce.

I believe that the cry of lack of
discussion and of lack of argument
that has been raised by members
of the faculty has brought to light
a symptom of this chronic sickness
of grade-consciousness.

"Mindless Robots"
For students to sit placidly by,
to take notes and to feed them
back like a bunch of mindless ro-
bots is terrifying an insult to
our intelligence and to our dignity
as rational beings.

The situation becomes even more
appalling when one considers the
countless people of our age all ov-
er the world who would give al-
most anything to occupy our seats
here at Scott.

That this cry has been raised by
the faculty is a tribute to this
group. The measure of their in-
tegrity is indicated by their not
wanting us to accept everything
they tell us.

Challenge

It is a strong and an honest in-
dividual who can admit that he
may be wrong. It is a courageous
individual who asks to be chal-
lenged.

Yet by their asking, they have
hurled a challenge at us a chal-
lenge to learn; a challenge to
throw out the easy way; a chal-
lenge to dare to question; a chal-
lenge to perhaps lose some of our
higher grades for we may be
wrong.

Are we big enough?

Study Questions Students
On Facilities, Campus Life

Yesterday all boarding students were given questionnaires
at house meetings. Each student will be given a week to
consider their answers to these questions.

Miss Mary L. Boney was chosen
by the senior class as Investi-
ture speaker.

Investiture

(Continued from Page 1)
of the senior class.

The offering, by decision of the
senior class, will be sent to Dr.
and Mrs. Paul Krane, for mission
work in Korea.

Since 1907

An annual institution, Investi-
ture has been held at Agnes Scott
since 1907 when there were seven
members of the senior class. The
first ceremony was held in the liv-
ing room of Dr. F. H. Gaines, then
president of the college.

The first class to be publicly in-
vested was the class of 1913. The
entire ceremony, it is believed,
was suggested by Miss Cady, for-
mer professor of history.

Several attempts to abolish Lit-
tle Girls Day since its founding soon
after Investiture began have failed.
Various members of the faculty
can recall several years when the
senior class decided to abolish the
custom, but each year it has been
revived.

FOOD SUPERIOR FOR YOUR INTERIOR

FREE PARKING

These questionnaires inquire in-
to all phases of Agnes Scott cam-
pus life except the academic. The
academic phase will be covered in
a separate questionnaire which
will be issued during winter quar-
ter.

Both questionnaires will be used
in Agnes Scott's self-evaluation
program. This program is being
conducted to help the advance-
ment of the campus and to make
re-accreditation possible.

Chapel Explanation

In a chapel talk last week, Car-
roll Rogers said, "We are expect-
ing every girl to fill out the ques-
tionnaire and give it back to us.
. . . Let me emphasize the fact
that it is important for everyone
to participate. Let's find out
where our weaknesses are, and
let's correct them."

Carroll explained each area of
the questionnaire. She said that
half of the religious questions are
factual and that half concern "the
student's judgment of the degree
of emphasis given on religion at
Agnes Scott and on the student's
own personal growth and develop-
ment since coming to Agnes Scott."

The vocation and placement sec-
tion is very factual. Carroll says,
"Agnes Scott has grown with great
strides in this area since this
year's senior class came here."
Housing and Scholarships

She asks the students to "please
consider seriously" the questions
dealing with student housing. "We
want to know our weaknesses, but

don't forget the good things, too."
This same attitude should be con-
sidered in answering questions
about the dining hall and the in-
firmary.

In the area of scholarships and
loans, Carroll says, "Many of you
feel that this is inadequate ....
This is a time when you can ex-
press yourselves."

So far as student organizations
are concerned the committee wants
to know why each student partici-
pates in some organizations and
not in others.

Constructive Opinions

About the counselling program
questions, Carroll says, "If you
know any system more effective
than ours or can think of anything,
voice your opinion. I feel that we
need some more work here."

The last area covered by the
questionnaire is the social area.
!These questions, she says, are "fair-
ly factual questions that have been
asked again and again."

No student will be expected to
sign a questionnaire. However
there will be a list to check off
when each questionnaire is in.
Results in Spring

It will not be possible to give
any immediate results to this ques-
tionnaire. A summary of both this
and the academic questionnaires
will be included in the complete
self-evaluation report which will
be compiled in the spring.

According to Carroll, the com-
plete report "will probably be avail-
able to the students."

Why He Stayed

"Well, you see I thought so
much of Dr. McCain. I stayed here
strictly because of my loyalty to
Dr. McCain and because of what
I felt he would do for the school.
Dr. McCain is one of the greatest
and one of the most unselfish per-
sons I have ever known.

"Yes, he was going to do some-
thing with this school and I stayed
to help him along."

I went to find out about Mr.
Tart, and we ended up talking
about everything else. This fact
by itself tells us a great deal about
our Mr. Tart, for he does not think
in terms of himself. He thinks of
his life in terms of others.

We thank him for his loyalty to
the school, his unselfishness, his
own merry gruffness and his long
hours of hard work, even though
he does take our money.

"The hockey games in the wind on an autumn day,

The snow in the quad glistening white."
For the past two Fridays, the hockey players have shivered
out onto the field while the faithful spectators bundled in
warm wraps have filled the bleachers.

The hockey season is now half
over. The rating at present is:

Freshmen won 3; lost 0.
Sophomores won 2; lost 1.
Seniors won 1; lost 2
Juniors won 0; lost 3.

What will happen in the next
three weeks will determine the
winner for the year. The present
ranking may be radically changed.

The games this year on the
whole have been well played. As
was mentioned in last week's col-
umn, there has been some sloppy
playing slashing sticks, not con-
trolling the ball, crowding each
other, etc.

Playing Improved

In last Friday's games the play-
ing was improved, but still not at
its best. It is hoped that in the
second half of the season all the
teams will realize the difference
between rough hockey and skillful
hockey.

On October 27, the sophomores
after a hard fight beat the seniors
by a score of 3-2. The game was
fast both halves. Although four of
the goals were scored during the
first half, the second half was
more open and more skillfully han-
dled on the part of both teams.

This game is noted for having
the most goals during one game.
(The freshman-senior game in
which three goals were made comes
in second.)

Eliminate Bruises

On the same afternoon, the
freshmen gained a victory over the
juniors of 1 to 0. By winning this
game; they put themselves in first
place.

The first half of the season has
been full of excitement and hard
playing. May the second half be
the same only more skillful. How
about eliminating all bruises in the
next three weeks? Let's play
around our opponents instead of
into them.

Dr. Alston To Attend
Board Of Missions

After a week's rest, Agnes Scott's
President, Dr. Wallace M. Alston,
will again leave campus for more
speaking engagements. As modera-
tor of the Presbyterian Church,
U. S., he is required to attend
many meetings.

November 6 and 7, he will be
in Nashville. Tenn., attending a
meeting of the Board of World
Missions of the Presbyterian
Church of the United States. While
in Nashville, he will address a lun-
cheon meeting of the Nashville
Rotary Club.

Dr. Alston will be in Florence,
Ala., on Nov. 8, speaking at
the First Presbyterian Church of
Florence. On the ninth he will go
to Auburn, Ala., to speak at the
First Presbyterian Church there.

After his Auburn address, Dr.
Alston will return to Decatur and
Agnes Scott, where he will remain
until Nov. 20. On Nov. 20 he
has a speaking engagement at the
First Presbyterian Church of John-
son City, Tenn.

Tobacco Road 7 Author To Visit;
Erskine Caldwell Here Monday

Erskine Caldwell, noted author of Tobacco Road and God's
Little Acre, will visit Agnes Scott College next Monday. Mr.
Caldwell will not give a formal lecture, but will lead a
rather informal question and answer session for all inter-
ested students at a time to be announced.

Raised in Wrens, Georgia, Cald

well launched on a journalistic
career in Atlanta in his early
twenties. Following the example of
Margaret Mitchell, Caldwell left
his position on the Atlanta Journal
and traveled to Maine. There he
promised himself five years in
which to develop himself as an
author.

After the publication of several
short stories, Caldwell returned to
Georgia. His father, a Presbyterian
minister, had taken him as a boy
down the poverty-ridden sections
of the state, and Caldwell had
never been able to forget the sight
of the people he had seen there.
Novels

Caldwell went to New York to
write the pathetic story of poverty
that had touched him in his youth
and again fascinated him in his
adulthood. Two years later he pub-
lished God's Little Acre, America's
all time best seller.

Acclaimed throughout the world,
and partially in Japan and Russia,
Caldwell has been banned in Geor-
gia from many book stores.

Some have cited Caldwell as the
first of the modern authors to
recognize the fact that man can
not maintain human dignity in

Davids

poverty.

Miss Trotter, faculty sponsor of
Mr. Caldwell, has asked that the
students acquaint themselves with
some of his works, and come pre-
pared with intelligent questions.

'TT'TTTTTTTTTTT TTTTTTTTT

The World Awareness Com-
mittee urges the Agnes Scott
student body and faculty to
hear Morris Abram speak on
the Peace Corps in chapel to-
morrow.

Mr. Abram, an Atlanta attor-
ney, served as chief legal ad-
visor to the Peace Corps pro-
gram when it was being set up.

In recent newspaper articles
Mr. Abram has warned the
American public not to judge
the Peace Corps too hastily. He
has said, "No matter how well
the Peace Corps succeeds
abroad, it wil fail unless the
American people judge it in the
long run, not in the short run."

Team Launches
Debate Season

The Agnes Scott debate team
traveled to Mercer College last
weekend to compete with 16 other
schools in a tournament.

Teams from all over the South,
including the University of South
Carolina, Florida State University,
and the University of Kentucky de-
bated the topic: Resolved: "That
labor organization ought to be un-
der the jurisdiction of anti-trust
legislation."

Although the ASC team did not
win any awards, Sharon Atkins, a
member of the negative team, said,
"We learned a lot about what we
don't know, and we should improve
greatly before the next tourna-
ment."

Sharon, Doris Sanders, Sarah
Adams, and Betty Jean Harper
were the Agnes Scott competitors.
They were accompanied by Dr.
George P. Hayes. There were three
rounds of competition Friday after-
noon, one Friday night and two
Saturday before the final awards
banquet.

Doris Sanders of the affirmative
team accumulated the highest total
number of individual points of the
ASC girls competing.

On Nov. 10 and 11, the team
will attend a tournament at Em-
ory and may possibly have an-
other meet this fall. There tourna-
ments are planned for winter quar-
ter.

Fortson Stars In 'Bernarda Alba';
Blackfriars Polish First Production

Reviewed By ANN DANIEL

hSf^SS w Satufday nigjits Blackfriars will once again transform Gaines Chapel
into a theater. Their first production for this year is The House of Bernarda Alba by Fred-

auter^ P Y ' ialthough S *> anish ^ nature > has to offer the American

It deals with the universal prob- is Adela (Sarah Hodges) the

lem of maintaining honor when
human nature is opposed to a cul-
ture's unwritten, but traditional,
standards of respectability.

In speaking specifically of the
conflict of The House of Bernarda
Alba, Eric Bentley who directed
the play at the Abbey Theater in
Dublin, says that it is "the attempt
to preserve honor in the face of
sexual instinct."

Fortson to Star

The members of Bernarda's
household are as interesting as
they are different. Bernarda
(Marian Fortson), the head of the
household now that her husband
is dead, is almost a personifica-
tion of the code that, governs her
Spanish community.

Honor is the way that things
appear on the outside and Ber-
narda endeavors to make her
house appear honorable at all
costs.

In direct opposition to Bernarda

youngest daughter. She dares to
oppose the traditional laws in a
desperate and futile attempt to
have love while she is still young.
Imprisoned by Tradition
Angustias (Nelia Adams), the
eldest, seems to have a way out
of the house by a tradition-
approved marriage to Adela's
lover.

Bernarda's other three daugh-
ters are between the ages of
Adela (20) and Angustius (39).
Magdelena (Sarah Snyder) has a
strong love for her father and this
in some way helps her to accept
the tradition-imprisoned house in
which she lives.

Martirio (Margaret Hoi ley) lets
the love that she has turn into a
hate which is uncontrollable.
Amelia (Miriam St. Clair), though
not satisfied with her situation,
seems resigned to the steel hand
that her mother holds on all of the
daughters.

The Tragedy

The grandmother Maria Joseta
(Neva Wood) is insane, but she
knows what is wrong under the
roof of Bernarda's house. How-
ever, it is only the maid Poncia
(Elizabeth Hill) who foresees the
tragedy that must come when
natural inclinations are overlooked
and their very existence ques-
tioned.

Tradition on Trial

When the characters meet on
the stage one may be assured of
more than a mere evening of en-
tertainment . The work of the
author in itself is a piece of liter-
ature that merits deep considera-
tion. The whole Spanish system
of honor and tradition is on trial.

This first production of Black-
friars for the year 1961-62 prom-
ises to be one of the best plays
that the group has presented.

Tickets may be purchased in
advance from any Blackfriar mem-
ber for $1 each.

Vicky Allen, a math major

Date To Crow Up

Honor Emphasis Week is over. Now is the time when we
can show that it was more than just something to talk about.
For the Honor System extends past the confines of five days
to permeate the entire year or at least it should.

The concept of Honor does include in-
tangibles, and it can be discussed philosophi-
cally; yet the final proof lies in overt action.
We came accepting the academic and
social Honor Systems; we agreed to abide
by all the rules defined in the handbook;
we even attended classes to learn these
rules.

However, there is one specifically stated
rule of life here which is being flagrantly
abused.

It goes under the unassuming name of Quiet Hours; yet
its name is only a cloak for another perhaps more impressive
word responsibility. We agreed to come here and enter into
communal life, accepting with this privilege, the respon-
sibility of consideration for the rights of others.

The Honor System as it extends to Quiet Honrs has be-
come a farce.

It has become the vogue on campus to see who can stay
up the longest and at the same time, make the most noise.
The amount of noise made by someone returning from a date
is considered to be in direct proportion to the evening's en-
joyment.

We accepted the fun, laughter and pranks of Black Cat
Eve and Little Girls Day; however, the present bedlam on
halls until past midnight is inexcusable.

It has become impossible to sleep before the herd de-
cides to finally settle down; dorm study has become a
figment of the idealistic imagination. If one dares to ask
for quiet, she becomes an ogre.

This may seem like a petty topic, but it gains added di-
mensions with a knowledge of the facts. There are students
in the Infirmary because of nervous exhaustion and lack of
sleep. Study facilities outside the dormitories are over-
crowded and have therefore lost some of their effectiveness.

You can be threatened with a return of the call-down
system or having your case brought up before Exec, as it is
a violation of a stated handbook policy. Yet the final maturity
and commitment must come from within each person.

Is it too much to ask that you apply this concept of
honor to daily life? Is it too much to ask of you to grow up?
L.B.S.

Freedom To Tell

Freedom to find out, freedom to know and freedom to
tell are, ideally, the obligations and privileges of every
campus newspaper. Indeed, the liberty of press and speech is
at the very core of any self-governing so-
ciety.

This "Freedom of the Press" was the theme
of The Associated Collegiate Press Confer-
ence held last weekend, and after careful
consideration of the topic, we soon realized
the great responsibility we have in reading
and publishing a campus newspaper on a
campus where complete freedom is enjoyed.
Unlike many other schools, Agnes Scott
is not told what to print or restrained from printing any-
thing we consider valid.

The final decision of what is to be printed in our news-
paper lies with an editor whom we have elected. (On many
campuses, the editor is appointed by the administration.)
Thus, our freedom.

Our obligation as readers of such a campus newspaper
is to get the news to those who publish the paper. Our
paper is not merely a throw-back to the community of
weekly chapels, club meetings and who's pinned to whom.
The big story is "Life at Agnes Scott" and this involves
what is being thought and said between classes, after chapel
and before hall meetings.

We should take full advantage of the right to express our-
selves. Here at Agnes Scott, our "Board of Censors" is the
student body.

It is the duty of the newspaper staff to guard the public's
right to know. The campus publications staff is a semi-
professional institution. To be totally successful, it must
be free of all outside forces and have access to the things
worth printing.
That is not to say that the editor is a one-man crusader
for himself. The editor is, in part, a judge in that he decides
what should be revealed to the reader.

He has also a main responsibility of encouraging the stu-
dent bodv to be critical, to evaluate what is printed. (For
instance, it is better to talk about what is shaping rather
than what can be shaped!)

The purpose of the college newspaper is to communicate,
but this is not a one-way conversation, nor is it just an-
other copy of the campus calendar.

The success of our newspaper depends on both the stu-
dents writing in the Pub on Monday night and the student
reading in the mailroom on Wednesday afternoon. I.J.

Letters to Editor

Dear Editor,

As a scholarship student work-
ing in the library, I have come to
regard it as a second home. But
since the beginning of this school
year, I've been very disappointed
with the way Agnes Scott students
have been treating the most neces-
sary building in their academic
life at Scott.

Definite rules have been set
down which have been violated
too many times. The fact that re-
serve books must be checked out
by 9:30 p.m. on weekdays and
4:30 p.m. on Saturdays may be
a difficult idea to grasp, but this
rule has been set up in order to
help the library staff keep the
books organized and in place for
the students' convenience.

If students wait until the last
possible moment to check out
their books, they are keeping the
person on duty from other im-
portant chores which must be done
at closing time.

Although both the reserve room
and the reference room are well
supplied with waste baskets, it
seems that many people cannot
see them! Every night at closing
time the tables are littered with
scraps of paper, candy wrappers
and even dirty kleenexes!

The library, I've heard it said,
is an indication of the quality of
a college. Our library is one of the
most liberal with regard to stu-
dent use, and yet we abuse it con-
sistently. May we mend our ways
in a hurry!

Sincerely,
Janet Ware

Dear Editor:

Spirit, it seems to me, is an
attitude a loyalty expressed by
different people in different ways
but expressed.

It is support whether expressed
through cheers at a hockey game
or just going! but support.

Ways of expression differ. But
to me. this spirit does not include
interference or damage to others'
property or "peace of mind." Good,
clever fun, yes. But inconsiderate
misuse of someone else's things
heavens no.

And spirit is constructive talk
and exchange of ideas for improve-
ment. It is not idle griping about
"something I don't like at Agnes
Scott."

It's concern enough to do some-
thing instead of sitting back and
fussin'.

Sincerely,
Leland Draper

Student Cites Irony
imbedded In Honor

By ETHEL GILMOUR

We speak of honor. We speak of honor as a way of life
here at Agnes Scott College. Isn't honor more than just a
cut out white segment of this world? If we think that we are
honorable, and at the same time think that the Negro's
honor is on a lower plane, then for us to speak of honor is
sheer absurdity.

We speak of world awareness.
We try and understand other
peoples around the world. We
send food and
clothes to China.
We are anxious
for the United
Nations. We are
furious at
Khrushchev and
his mad bombs.
We want to act,
to cry out to the
world for justice and harmony.

Yes, we speak of world aware-
ness and at the same time throw
our own little bombs at our fellow
Negro citizens.

"Suffer the white children . .
We speak of Christianity. We
give of our money to missionaries
in Africa. We dress up in our new
suit and matching hat every Sun-
day and go to church.

How can we possibly call our-
selves Christians and at the same

time think we have the right to
trample another race into the
ground. Perhaps we think that
Christ said, "Suffer the little white
children to come unto me."

Lastly we come to Agnes Scott
for an education. We teach our
minds to widen, to absorb, to
learn.

Meaningless Education

If we walk out of this school
with a diploma in one hand and at
the same time condemn a man and
call him "nigger" then this educa-
tion of ours means nothing.

Perhaps the best statement we
have heard was in Miss Boney's
Investiture speech. We must rid
ourselves of "Mass Prejudices."

Honor, world awareness, Chris-
tianity and education are just
false words unless we understand
that these words are to be found
in the Negro dictionary too, for
there is only one dictionary and
who are we to say that it is white?

Cliburn, Entremont Come
For Atlanta Appearances

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Two of the century's youngest and most brilliant pianists
arrive on the Atlanta scene this week, both in return en-
gagements.

Appearing with the Atlanta memory has a musician, regard-

Symphony at the Tower Theatre
on Friday and Saturday nights will
be Philippe Entremont, a French-
man, who is considered by num-
erous critics to be "a modern
Liszt."

A pianist of
genius, Entre-
mont attacks the
keyboard in
much the same
manner as an
artist paints with
bold splashes of
color on the
canvas.

"Le Pianist Atomique" will per-
form Brahms' "Concerto No. 1 for
Piano and Orchestra" accompanied
by the Atlanta Symphony. The
Symphony will also present Bee-
thoven's "Lenore Overture No. 3"
and "Symphony in C Major" by
Haydn.

Van Cliburn

On Thursday evening the All
Star Concert Series will present
Van Cliburn. the American virtu-
oso from Kilgore, Texas, who
appeared in Atlanta in 1959 short-
ly after his thrilling victory in the
first International Tchaikovsky
Competition in Moscow in April
in 1958.

According to reports from Rus-
sia where he performed a series
of concerts in leadine cities
immediately following the Moscow
competition, "not within living

less of nationality, had such an
impact on the critical, sophisti-
cated Soviet metropolitan audi-
ences."

Word spread quickly through
Moscow that the six-foot-four-
inch, 160-pound Texan with the
shock of sandy hair was "khara-
sho" (good) indeed.

American Triumph

His Russian triumph was re-
peated shortly thereafter with a
series of concerts in the United
States which resoundingly cor-
roborated the judgment of the
Tchaikovsky Competition's prize
jury.

The reaction of the American
public and the critical press in
the cities where Cliburn played
was summed up by Winthrop Sar-
geant in "The New Yorker" fol-
lowing the first Carnegie Hall Con-
cert:

"Mr. Cliburn," he wrote, "proved
to be a pianist in the grand man-
ner. In saying this, I am referring
to a special, rare and profoundly
impressive kind of piano playing.
He is a living representative of
the great nineteenth and early
twentieth-century school of vir-
tuosity, which included such for-
midable artists as Rachmaninoff,
Lhevinne and Hofmann, and it is
indeed heartening to find the tra-
ditions of the school flourishing
in one so young."

Have you noticed the signs be-

or the hockey reports in the mail-
room? These are the responsibili-
ty of the Personality of this Week,
Judy Brantley.

A junior, Judy is an English
major from Montgomery, Ala-
bama. As publicity chairman of
Athletic Association, her duties
include work on the A. A. Calen-
dar and service on the A. A. Board.

Judy's most outstanding achieve-
ment this year has been the set
for the Black Cat production. With
the help of Ansley cottage, Judy
designed and built the backdrop,
from the original plans which she
drew to the final touches she
added late the night before the
performance.

Anne Thompson, co-chairman of
the Black Cat production, calls
Judy "one of the most conscien-
tious and hard-working people I
know. If you ask her to do a job,
you can be sure it will be done."

Although Judy has chosen Eng-
lish as 5 her major, one of her main
talents lies in art. She enjoys
doing black-and-white portraits
as well as doing art work for
class committees.

Russia-China Split Renews
World's Balance of Power

By DORIS SANDERS

The long suspected Russian-Chinese rift was confirmed
beyond any question at the twenty-second Congress of the
Soviet Communist Party in Moscow during the last weeks of
October.

Communist China and her pro- recognize its application to these

tege Albania have resisted the
"de-Stalinization" program in-
augurated by Premier Khrushchev
five years ago.

The most dra-
matic action
came with the
removal of Sta-
lin's body from
the Lenin mauso-
leum to a simply
marked grave be-
neath the Krem-
lin wall.
The walkout of Chou En-lai and
the Chinese delegation from the
Moscow Congress indicates that
Russia has closed the door of com-
promise unless China accepts So-
viet leadership in world com-
munism.

"Machiavellian Tactics"
Chinese newspapers print Mos-
cow speeches and resolutions be-
side Albanian criticisms of Russia
and Premier Khrushchev.

Enver Hoxha, chief of the Al-
banian Communist Party, has
charged that Khrushchev employed
"Machiavellian" tactics at the re-
cent Congress.

China and Albania revere Sta-
lin as the true disciple of Marx
and Lenin, resisting the enforce-
ment of Khrushchev's "revision-
ist" views on world communism.

As we observe the threatened
break between the two Communist
giants, we remember the "balance
of power" concept and readily

circumstances.

For many centuries nations
have sought, through diplomacy
and war, to maintain a favorable
"balance of power."

The concept characterizes Euro-
pean history as we analyze the
colorful years of wars, marriages
and treaties.

Eastern Merger

However, we sometimes over-
look the fact that "balance of
power" applies not only to those
years, but also to our own times.

In 1949, Communism triumphed
in China extending to the China
Sea.

The size and potential of the
Russian-Chinese merger upset the
"balance of power" far more than
the 50 megaton bomb.

Western Advantages

Certainly, weapons are im-
portant but the physical, political
and population bases on which
weapons rest is of equal or greater
consequence.

"Balance of power" may be
threatened by economic problems,
weapons and, above all, a change
in relations between countries.

Many world observers feel that
a decisive break between Russia
and China would virtually restore
the situation existing before 1949,
a definite advantage for the West.

In these days, China is deciding
whether she will remain with
"Mother Russia" or "go it alone."

Freshmen Swimmers Win
35-34 Over Sophomores

By NANCY LEE

Swimmers and spectators convened in the gym to witness
one of the "most exciting fall swimming meets held here
in many years."

Displaying unusual skill and en-

thusiasm, the freshman team came
from behind the sophomores in
trie last event to win the meet
35 to 34.

Freshman Jeanie Randolph
broke the pool record in the 40-
yard breaststroke with a 31.1-
second time count. Michele Moly-
neaux also captured first place
honors for the frosh in the 40-
yard freestyle.

Other freshmen participating
were Pat Buchanan, Jean Hun-
ter, Betty Armstrong, Marie
Moore, May Brown and Dorothy
Bellinger.

Sophomores swam a close sec-
ond to the freshmen, losing by one
point. Team captain Marianna
Guion took first place honors in
diving, 40-yard backstroke and
front crawl.

Eleanor Lee, Karen Baxter,
Jeanne Whitaker, Barbara Cham-
bers, Sue Dickson, Sally James,
P. A. Carr and Caroline Davis also
aided in scoring points.

The Class of '63 produced some
spirited competition to end up in
third place with 33 points. Nancy

The real struggle, in my opinion,
will take place in the senior-

determine which sister will gain
second place honors. This game
promises fast action and open,

Student Attacks
False Aloofness

By CAROLINE HUGHES

Answer from a little girl:

We have heard the attacks on Little Girls' Day, and we
have seen the rise of the anti-intellectual league. I cannot
resist a reply.

First of all, about Little Girls'
Day in particular it is a symbol
a very meaningful symbol, com-
ing as it does on the day before
Investiture.

Upon occasion,
it has admitted-
ly deteriorated
into a senior
class Suppressed
Desires Day, with
the remainder of
the community,
students and fac-
ulty alike, being
forced to take the brunt of prac-
tical jokes.

True Spirit

But this is not the true spirit
of the day. Instead, it signifies
childhood the childhood that will
officially pass the next morning.

Juxtaposed against this meaning
of Little Girls' Day, Investiture
can become even more of a mile-
stone, a high point in twenty-one
years of existence.

The day is fun. And I dare any-
one to argue with me to the effect
that fun is immature!!

Drop the Sophistication

It is a very unfortunate person
who cannot drop his suave sophis-
tication long enough to be a little
bit silly, to laugh at himself.

I am not saying that everyone
has to love wearing bunny tails
and screaming school songs-
much of this frankly gets on my
nerves.

But I am contending that the
opposite extreme is just as ab-
surd. These "women" who can
never unbend are to be pitied.
They will be missing a great deal
in life if they always consider
themselves to be somewhat above
that which others are doing and
enjoying.

True Maturity

Those who are forever attempt-
ing to be sophisticated, who are
forever denouncing the "mickey
mouse" aspects of Scott, are prob-
ably the very ones who are the
least confident of their supposed
worldliness.

The possessor of true maturity
can pretend to drop it long enough
to become a little girl for one day.

Debate Tourney Draws 1 6 Schools

Pi Alpha Phi Slates Southern Debate;
Collegians Will Argue Antitrust Issue

By GLENDA ANTONIE

Pi Alpha Phi Debating Society of Agnes Scott College will hold the fifteenth annual All-
Southern Intercollegiate Debate Tournament at Agnes Scott College, Jan. 12-13, 1962. The
national intercollegiate debate topic for the five-round tourney is Resolved: That labor
organization should be placed under the jurisdiction of antitrust legislation.

GENERAL CARLOS P. ROMULO

U.S. Must Meet Crisis
Romulo Tells Audience

"In the fight for freedom there can be no twilight zone,"
asserted Carlos P. Romulo, former president of the Philip-
pines, during his Thursday night address sponsored by the
Lecture Association.

in the debate are Auburn Universi-
ty, David Lipscomb, Emory Uni-
versity, Georgia Tech, University of
Georgia, University of Kentucky,
Mercer, Middle Tennessee State
' College, North Georgia, University
; of the South (Sewanee), University
of South Carolina, Tennessee Tech,
University of Tennessee, Vander-
bilt University, West Georgia and
I Agnes Scott.

Meade Boswell, Tournament
Manager, commented, "The Agnes
Scott affirmative and negative
team will participate but will not
be eligible for any awards."

Each college will have two
negative and two affirmative
speakers. They may also bring
alternates. Judges will be the
coaches from the individual col-
leges and members of the Agnes
Scott faculty.

Cups will be presented to the
)est individual speaker and the

In speaking of "The Asia Amer-
ica Does Not Know", Romulo
stressed the fact that Asia is anx-
ious to be the friends of America
and a democracy in these perilous
times.

"Now particularly America
needs such friends no matter how
small or poor, "We have chosen,"
said Romulo, "the hard sinews of
dignity and integrity."

If America does not take these
steps toward friendship, the free
world will suffer the greatest de-
feat in the cold war since the fall
of China to the Communist world.

Asia has seen various examples
of economic aid which America has
given other countries. This aid
must definitely be a successful
method for making friends, accord-
ing to the head of the United Na-
tions General Assembly, for Russia
is copying it and "the Communists
do not imitate failures."

In providing a background for
his assertions, Romulo discussed
his views concerning the admission
of Red China to United Nations.

Violently opposed to their ad-
mission, Gen. Romulo based his
opposition on the facts that China
is definitely an aggressive nation,
that it has never personally applied
for admission to the U.N. nor is it
able or willing to undertake its
obligations as required by the char-
ter of the U.N.

Such an admission would destroy
the "moral basis of the United Na-
tions," said Romulo.

During his entire lecture, Romulo
stressed the fact that his aim was
to make the people of the United
States think. He ended with a
plea for a religiously-based aware-
ness of the perils and obligations
of world leadership.

Chairmen Duvall, Cummings
Announce Junior Jaunt Plans

By BIDDY SMITH

Big plans are in the making for Junior Jaunt this year.
Over-all chairman Nancy Duvall and Stokey Cummings,
over-all money chairman, are hopeful that the goal of $1,500
will be reached.

The money earned will be given
to the three charities voted on by
the student body in chapel, Tues-
day, Jan. 9.

The class chairmen for Junior
Jaunt are Polly Page for the Senior
Class, Valerie McLanahan for the
Juniors, Nancy Wasell for the

> )homore Class and Nancy Yontz
for the Freshmen.

On Thursday, Jan. 18, at 7 p.m.
there will be a campus sing in the
quadrangle. Immediately following
the sing, the slave sale will begin
in the Hub with Betty Gillespie
and Ethel Gilmour as auctioneers.

Up for sale this year are Dr.
Margaret Pepperdene, Mr. Charles
Martin, Dr. Leonard Doerpinghaus,
Miss Kay Osborne and Miss Hattie
Talmadge.

Friday, Jan. 19 is Suppressed
Desires Day. Tickets go on sale
Monday, Jan. 15, for one dollar.
Everyone who has a ticket is en-
titled to wear Bermudas or slacks
to class, scream in the library, call
teachers by their first name and
act in other approved but usually
suppressed ways.

Another advantage of the Sup-
pressed Desires Day ticket holder
is admission to the skit in chapel,
Friday. This year the skit revolves
around "A Day at Agnes Scott."

The most important part of
Junior Jaunt this year is the Carni-
val, Saturday, Jan. 20. It begins
at 3 p.m. and lasts until 9 p.m.
Boys from Tech and Emory are
being invited to come.

Week Emphasizes
World's Eye View

This week Social Council is again
sponsoring its annual Social Em-
phasis Week and will carry out a
theme of "The American Woman
World's Eye View."

With a re-emphasis on the value
of world awareness, Social Council
is offering us a new perspective of
ourselves, not only while we are
here at Scott but later as we
broaden our horizons.

The week's activities began with
a panel discussion in Chapel Mon-
day. The panel consisted of Mr.
Tumblin, Mr. Brown, Dr. Chang,
Mr. Hudson and Dr. Stuart, all of
whom have lived in foreign
countries.

They were thus able to compare
an American woman with a foreign
oman and to present the view
held abroad of an American
woman. They also voiced their
opinions of the educated woman's
position in society. The panel was
narrated by Miss Harriet Tal-
madge.

Monday afternoon there was a
dance program in Rebekah recrea-
tion room led by Kay Osborne, who
demonstrated unusual American
and foreign dances.

"The Do's and Don't's of Trav-
eling" were brought out in a skit

Gale Hershberger. To give the

Poll Shows Student Liberalism
In Racial Integration Questions

By NINA GRIFFIN

Dr. Anna Greene Smith, assistant professor of sociology
and economics, and the Sociology 203 class have recently
finished tabulating the results of the survey conducted fall
quarter to poll Agnes Scott students' opinions concerning
lunch counter desegregation.

A questionnaire attempting to
correlate liberalism or conserva-
tism in students' attitudes with
their classification, the occupation
of their parents, the size of their
home town and the location of
their home state was circulated at
hall meetings last quarter.

Of the 502 replies, only fifteen
students responded that they were
"indifferent" to the situation. Dr.
Smith said, "I think this is a
great compliment to the girls at
Agnes Scott. They are willing and
want to get involved."

The first question, "Are you in
sympathy with this movement"?
(lunch counter desegregation) re-
ceived 362 "yes" answers and 125
"no's." The trend toward liberalism
increases from freshman to senior
responses indicating, according to
Dr. Smith, the effect of education
on prejudices.

In the second and third ques-
tions: "Would you eat at a lunch
counter or restaurant in which a

Negro was eating?" and "If the
tables were filled and you could
not eat by yourself, would you sit
at a table with a Negro?" students
began to rationalize their more
deal is tic anwers to the first ques-
tion.

There were more negative
answers to these two questions;
however the affirmative replies
still out-numbered the negative.

Contrary to the expected results,
there is not a high correlation be-
tween the answers to the first
three questions and the occupa-
tions of the students' parents.

There is, however, a slightly
higher percentage of affirmative
answers from students whose par-
ents are in teaching and govern-
ment work, community service, re-
ligious and scientific work and
social science.

Results indicate that there is no
significant relationship between
the size of the home town and the

UN: Bright Hope?

Perhaps one of the most rewarding opportunities for
world awareness came as a result of the visit of General
Romulo this past week. With the analysis of the Congo and
Goa crises and the impending bankruptcy of the UN pre-
valent in every news medium, the appearance of one of the
original framers of the United Nations Charter could not
have been more timely.

There was an unmistakable aura of history-in-the making
as General Romulo spoke of the Grand Idea which he helped !
to conceive. One could not mistake the pride in his words
when he was forced to defend the UN against the present
trials which threaten to destroy it.

Now, seventeen years later, he commented that the
United Nations had neither "failed miserably" nor "suc-
ceeded gloriously." The Charter, he admitted, was now
out-moded or "pre-atomic."

Romulo firmly believes that given the necessary revision,
the UN will not fail the world as did its predecessor, the
League of Nations.

We would like to share the confidence of this great states-
man; we genuinely hope that he stands as a prophet of a
re-vamped and vital world force for peace rather than the
last faithful mourner of a dying organism. For few in our
generation can envision a world without United Nations com-
munication without some hope of open debate and possi-
ble conciliation.

Yet the symptoms of decay are present.
Member nations such as Russia and smaller impoverished
countries have not paid their obligations. Bonds must be sold
or the organization will be bankrupt and therefore powerless
to even threaten retribution to aggressive nations.

The veto which was originally included to protect the giant
powers has been abused and the machinery of the Security
Council has been slowed to a standstill.

In the absence of the steady, authoritative leadership of
Hammerskjold and financial security, aggressive nations
have made their moves masking behind "justified war",
colonial uprisings; first the Congo, then Goa, now Indonesia
threatens to take the Dutch half of New Guinea.
Romulo claims that throughout the history of mankind,
all Great Ideas have gone through four successive stages:
conception, gestation, realization and finally appreciation.

The United Nations, the bright hope of 1945 and a war-
ravaged world is, according to Romulo, in the period of
gestation. To a generation of hopeful, yet apprehensive citi-
zens around the globe, the third period of realization can
not come too soon nor be more welcome. L.S.F.

$3,000,000 Farce

Three million dollars, everyone would agree, is a rather
tidy sum. And that is the amount of money which some
Georgia residents hope to see donated to the public educa-
tion fund. Yet, do not hope for one minute that if granted
this mon ey would be used constructively not in this state.

A committee of citizens has banded to-
gether in face of the rising traffic fatalities
in the common hope of installing driver edu-
cation in the secondary school programs.
Some facilities have been available to this
time, but the schools are under-staffed with
I qualified teachers and with proper texts,
I tools, and automobiles. Form this tragic
I deficit springs the cry for three million
dollars.

Does it matter if the teenagers do not have an up-to-date
chemistry laboratory in their school? Not if there is a shiny
new automobile outside in which they may practice driving.
Who cares if salaries are so low that prospective math
teachers go to work for IBM, as long as the students can
subtract footage needed to stop on dry pavement from foot-
age needed to stop on slick streets? Do not worry if they
cannot quote Shakespeare . . . they have the drivers'
manual down pat.

If Georgia schools were given national laurels for their
success, three million dollars for driver education would
seem an extravagant addition. Now, it seems an almost
criminal negligence of the schools' real needs.

Certainly the traffic deaths are enough to make every-
one wish for horses. But before so much money is given,
there are several other things that concerned citizens
could do.

First, they could make a renewed effort to teach safe
driving at home. Secondly, they could request that stricter
tests be ^iven prior to qualifying drivers. Thirdlv, thev could
join with the Jaycees and other civic organizations in their
current effort to make all motorists more conscious of the
driving hazards. Fourthly, they could seek to elect legislators
who would not mis-appropriate highway funds, and who
would see to it that the laws are enforced by competent
officers.

And if. after all these methods of approach to the problem,
there is still dissent, one more suggestion can be given: Let
these frustrated people withdraw their children from school.
Perhaps "driver schools" similar in intent to "trade
schools" could be arranged. C.W.

tinuing through the 28th, the mu-
seum is featuring an exhibition of
Monet.

Monet and Impressionism
Claude Monet, born in France in
1840, is often considered to be the
leader of the impressionist school
of painting. Impressionism, a
technique devoted to capturing
effects of light out of doors, is
exemplified most purely in the
painting of Monet, who forced it
to its limits and beyond.

He was born the son of a grocer
and his parents refused to support
him in an artist's career. By the
time he was sixteen, he had a local
reputation as a caricaturist in his
home city of Le Havre.

isk,

In Paris, Monet identified him-
self with the impressionists there.
He had to write begging letters
to friends and was sometimes
without money to buy paints. After
1890, however, when he was 50
years old, Monet became a
prosperous artist.

Contribution to Art

Monet's preoccupation with re-
ducing all visual experience to
terms of pure light became an
obsession. When his young wife
died, he was horrified to find him-
self analyzing the nacreous tints
of her skin in the early morning
light!

Monet has become a bridge be-
tween the naturalism of early im-
pressionist painting and a con-
temporary school of extreme ab-
straction. His landscapes and the
late semi-abstract paintings into
which they merged are his his-
torically important works.

He had no great interest in hu-
man beings as personalities to be
interpreted except as they were
seen as elements of nature in light.
His free use of color makes him
one of the most appealing fore-
runners of modern artists of the
twentieth century.

Rumor or Fact-
Student Protests

By CAROLINE HUGHES

The student body may be in dire peril of losing one of its
precious freedoms. It is rumored that if chapel attendance
does not pick up, then the Board of Trustees will find it
necessary to insist on compulsory chapel six days a week.

This would be terrible, for there
are some days during which we
just could not possibly sit through
an authoritative presentation of
the early literature of Australian
head-shrinkers.

Chapel should
be on a voluntary
basis. We should
be able to decide
whether or not a
program inter-
ests us. If wc
have just com-
pleted a strenu-
ous exam, we
should be able to take a coffee
break rather than fidget through
a speech, no matter how fascinat-
ing it might be.

Insult to Maturity

It would be an insult to our
(Continued on Page 3)

why World's Eye
View?

The world will
not look at us,
perhaps, as it looks at Kennedy,
but as the author Wright Miller
says:

A nation is judged in the end
by its people rather than its
power, and if this in present
circumstances seems a new
rather than an old-fashioned
idea, so much the better.

First of all since we are speak-
ing of ourselves as being too in-
significant for any sort of World's
Eye View, let us look at ourselves
in so called insignificant terms.

Here we see the American
Woman: We see her in the drug-
store with pin curls in her hair
there she is chewing on a tooth-
pick after dining out. She wears
cold cream to bed, leaves dirty
breakfast dishes in the sink til
supper, beds unmade, T.V. on all
day thinks the new P.T.A.
president is very bad, but she has
never attended a meeting must
sleep on Sunday morning. She
grumbles when she has to get up
early to get the children off to
school, keeps poor track of her
money, hasn't read a book since
college

All of these examples, perhaps,
seem small and would be small if
this American woman lived only
unto herself. But think of her in-
fluence. These small sloppy domes-
tic germs affect her husband and
her children. Her children inherit
these small sloppy indifferences
and pass them on to their children.

This seems to be the attitude of
the American woman today, to
just slop along, get by, to pull and
cut everything down. Where are
our basic standards?

There are a great many of the
"little me's" in this world, and it
would be a lesson well learned if
the "little me" could realize that
the general decay of a nation be-
gins with the mere indifference of
a sloppy woman.

Little niceties make a difference
the world can tell.

P.S. This article is going to be
sent immediately to the U.N. so
they will know how the world's
troubles began.

Communion Services
To Re-open Congress

President Wallace M. Alston
participated this morning in a com-
munion service in Washington,
D.C., on the occasion of the open-
ing of Congress.

Dr. Alston, as Moderator of the
Presbyterian church of the U.S.,
joined the heads of the United
Presbyterian USA and the Re-
formed Churches in the Annual
Service of Intercession and Holy
Communion in the National Pres-
byterian Church.

Members of Congress as well as
judicial and administrative officials
in the government who are elders
in any of the three divisions of the
church helped with the service.

The traditional communion ob-
servance contained no sermon or
address, but was purely an act of
worship and dedication. The serv-
ice, which has received widespread
recognition, is purposely kept short
in order not to interfere with the
opening activities of Congress.

answers.

"I found a high correlation be-
tween groups of states and the
answers", said Dr. Smith. Most
answers from northern, western,
and the border states of Virginia,
North Carolina and Tennessee
answered in the affirmative.

The deep South Mississippi,
Louisiana and Arkansas answer-
ed negatively. Dr. Smith felt that
it is interesting that most Georgia
answers were negative, whereas
Atlanta answers were for the most
part affirmative. Texas, a deep
South state, also responds predomi-
nately in the affirmative.

Dr. Smith commented that she
was elated by the liberal attitude
of the students as a whole; how-
ever, she added, "We should re-
frain from an attitude of smugness
because of the number of 'no'
answers".

Miss Smith hopes to compare the
attitude of Agnes Scott with that
of similar colleges. She plans to
contact Dr. Leslie Syron of
Meredith College in Raleigh, North
Carolina, and Dr. Mirra Komarov-
ski of Barnard College, New York,
to encourage them to poll their
students' attitudes.

There have been no reports on
college students' attitudes on in-
tegration since a poll conducted by
Cornell University in 1940.

Sherry Addington Merits
'Personality' Recognition

By LUCIA BACOT

Texas born Sherry Addington's
first memorable impression of
Agnes Scott was the tree that grew
so tall she could see the branches
out of her second story window.

Since then Sherry has discovered
other differences between her
Abilene home and her Georgia,
school some important enough 1
to cause her to return to Scott
after transferring to the University
of Texas her sophomore year.

Sherry's unusual story of re-
transferring will have a happy
ending for both her and Agnes
Scott when she is graduated from
here this June.

An English major, Sherry is
active in C. A. service projects,
and this year is a Senior repre-
sentative on Social Council.

Art is another of her interests,
as is her social work at the Juve-
nile Court on Wednesday after-
noons which she has done for two
years.

Her roomate Jan Heard says
"her spontaneous and contagious
laughter is Sherry's most outstand-
ing trait."

maturity, as well as a catastrophe,
if the Board's threat were carried
out. It is hoped that we could
solve the problem ourselves.

Too many of us are making a
negative decision concerning
chapel every day of the week. This
is sheer stupidity, for more often
than not the programs are inter-
esting and valuable.

And what if some of them are
dull and useless? Can we possibly
blame the chapel committee for
not showing the heights of initia-
tive? The whole business becomes
a vicious cycle: no crowd, poor
chapels, no crowd . . .! Which
came first we cannot say.
Freedom of Choice

The solution is obvious. If we all
begin to move toward Presser
more regularly at 10:20, then we
would have the right to demand
the most stimulating speakers in
all fields. As of now, we have lost
any such right.

You will not find me In chapel
every day of the week. I will exer-
cise my freedom to decide whether
or not I will attend. But I hope
that I will not take this freedom
so for granted that I lose it com-
pletely.

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.

Nehru's Aggression In Goa
Weakens U.U. Effectiveness

By DORIS SANDERS

The dawn of Monday, December 18, 1961, saw the begin
ning of the end of 451 years of Portguese rule in India.
Thirty hours after the initial

Indian attack, the colony of Goa
and the smaller enclaves of Damao
and Diu succumbed to a greatly
superior military force.

Jawaharlal Nehru, whom his ad-
mirers call "the
conscience of
mankind," and
his Defense Min-
ister V. K. Krish-
na Menon have
dealt a heavy
blow not only to
the image of In-
dia as a peace-
loving nation but also to the
United Nations as an effective
agent for the prevention of war.
"Spokesman for Peace"?
Nehru has long been considered
the moral guardian of the world,
a spokesman for peace and non-
violence.

However, the fall of the Portu-
guese possessions has been pre-
ceded by five similar capitulations
in the past fifteen years.

In 1947, Junagarh fell to Indian
troops and India entered Kashmir,
an area which, though under dis-
pute, Nehru says "is Indian."
Previous Capitulations
Hylerabad, after an appeal to
the UN, was incorporated into In-
dia by force in 1948.

France was pressured into the
surrender of all French settle-
ments within India in 1954.

Also in 1954, the Portuguese
towns of Dadra and Nagar Aveli
were seized by India and held
despite the decision of the World
Court in favor of Portugal.

Effect on U.N.

Some world observers feel that
the destruction of Nehru's role of
world moral leadership is secon-
dary to the effect of the aggressive
act on the UN.

As Adlai Stevenson has said,
"There is not one law for one part
of the world and another law for
the rest of the world."

These words expressed the
drama and significance of the
aggression and the Security Coun-
cil voted seven to four for Indian
withdrawal and cease fire, but
among the four came the 99th
veto of the Soviet Union.

Justification of War

Portugal, wracked by internal
disorder, has announced that she
will withdraw from the UN some-
time in the immediate future.

It is India's theory that war
over a "colonial issue" is justified
and this unique doctrine, if accept-
ed, would legalize attack of 2.5
million square miles of colonial
territory around the world.

The success of India's action has
prompted President Sukarno of
Indonesia to mobolize 500,000
troops which threaten to attack
Dutch New Guinea.

Will the UN be able to regain
its effectiveness which has been
lessened not only by this incident
but also by the death of Ham-
marskjold and the Congo question?

The answer to this question
could well hold the key to the
future of world peace and se-
curity.

Frost To Arrive On Campus Today
For Annual Visit,Public Recitation

A. S. C. Library Displays Frost Poems
In Exhibits After Lecture On Thursday

Poet Robert Frost arrives on campus for public reading tomorrow

evening in Gaines chape!.

By NINA GRIFFIN

Robert Frost arrived on campus today for his twentieth visit to Agnes Scott. The world-
known author who has been called "the Poet Laureate of America" first visited the col-
lege in 1935.

In honor of his visit, the Agnes
Scott library will display its col-
lection of his works this week.

Miss Emma Mae Laney started
the collection in 1944, and upon
her retirement in 1956 the Emma
Mae Laney Fund was started for,
"the enlargement and preserva-
tion of the Robert Frost collection
already in the library."

According to Mrs. Edna Byers,
since its start the collection has
grown to include "most of the
first editions of his books, most
of the separate printings of his
poems, the limited and trade edi-
tions of his books as well as an-
thologies which contain the first
printing of some of his poems."

First Editions

The collection contains the first
and fourth issues of the first edi-
tion published in England of A
Boy's Will. The first issue is bound
by a "pebbled bronze cloth bind-
ing" and has a Presentation stamp
on the dedication page.

Student Government Reorganizing;
Representative Details Plans, Aims

By KAY ROBERTSON

The plan to reorganize our student government, work on which was initiated in 1944 and
was resumed three years ago, is now at the completion stage and has been presented to the
student body.

The reconstruction is an effort a liaison between the administra

The fourth issue has cream-
colored paper wrappers and is
stamped on the verso of the title
page with "Printed in Great Bri-
tain."

The library also has two of the
first American edtions of A Boy's
Will. One has a misprinted "aind"
for "and" on page 14, and the
other has this mistake corrected.

Inaugural Poem

The British and American edi-
tions of North of Boston appear
also in the Frost collection. The
first and sixth English issues and
the limited American issue are
part of the collection.

In 1916 with Mountain Interval,
Mr. Frost's books began to be pub-
lished first in America, rather
than in England. The library has
the first and second issues of the
first edition and also the first
issue of the second edition.

Included in the collection are
copies of "The Gift Outright," the
poem which Robert Frost read at
President Kennedy's inauguration,
and several copies of the inaugura-
tion program and programs of the
dinner given in honor of Mr. Frost
by the State Department.

One-Act Play

The copies of "The Gift Out-
right" include three versions of
the dedication which Mr. Frost
wrote for the president, but did
not read.

The collection contains a one-act
play, "A Way Out," published first
in the 1917 issue of Seven Arts,
then in an anthology in 1924 and
later in 1929 as a separate book.

A copy of "The Lovely Shall Be
Choosers," which v/as in one of 475
copies of The Poetry Quartos pub-
lished by Random House in 1929,
also appears in the collection.
Translations

There are varied editions of
anthologies in French, German,
Russian, Finnish, Arabic, Japanese
and Spanish containing several of
Robert Frost's poems.

Mr. Frost will have a new book,
In The Clearing, which will be
published March 26 to coincide
with his eighty-eighth birthday.
There will be a limited edition of
500 copies and also a trade edition.

One of the most interesting
parts of the collection is the
Christmas cards. The collection
contains all except about thirty of
his Christmas cards, the first
having been published in 1929.
Christmas Cards

Each year Mr. Frost has a poem
published in his cards for his fam-
ily, publishers and printers to send.

The first Christmas card was
entitled "Christmas Trees" and
the 1961 card was "The Woodpile."
The library now has a complete
set of the 1960 cards and most of
"The Woodpile."

(Continueed on Page 5)

to form a compact network of the
various organizations on campus.
It will also distribute the power
of the present Executive Commit-
tee, which now possesses the legis-
lative, executive and judicial
authority of Student Government.

As Willette Barnwell stated in
the student meeting last week, "It
is not good for any one to have
that much power. It is unfair to
the student body, and it is also very
difficult for members of the com-
mittee to carry out all of their
duties."

"Final Authority"

The proposed Student Govern-
ment Association, in the exercise
of its powers, would be ultimately
responsible to the faculty and ad-
ministration under authorization
by the Board of Trustees.

Although the initial legislative
and judicial power would be vested
in the Representative and Judicial
Councils respectively, the final
authority would be the Student
Body as a whole which comprises
the Association.

The proposed Representative
Council, which would exercise the
legislative and executive powers
of the Student Government Asso-
ciation, would provide us with a
unifying body that would serve as

tion and the Student Body.
Representative Council

Its executive capacities would
include directing and coordinating
the activities of the various or-
ganizations on campus. The boards
and classes would directly parti-
cipate in policy changes and in
the formation of the various com-
mittees, such as the World Aware-
ness Committee.

Members of the Representative
Council would include the presi-
dent of the Student Government
Association, Judicial Chairman,
Secretary, Treasurer and Student
Recorder, who would be the offi-
cers of the Association and would
also serve on the Judicial Council.
Membership

Other members of the Repre-
sentative Council are the Orien-
tation, Joint House Council and
Day Student Chairmen; the editor
of The Agnes Scott News; and the
secretaries of Athletic Association.

Council.

The house presidents, class

A Modest Proposal

Editor's note: All questions within this editorial are taken from
Johnathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal''.

FOR PREVENTING THE UNITED STATES FROM BE-
COMING SUBSERVIENT TO THE U.S.S.R., AND FOR
MAKING IT THE STRONGEST NATION ON EARTH

"It is a melancholy subject" to Americans to read in the
newspapers of the growing tension and violence in the world.
Each day another government joins the rank of countries
dedicated to the task of becoming The World Power by
means of economic reforms, educational reforms, reform re-
forms, conferences, conference walk-outs, belligerent desk
pounding, threats/ counter-threats, revolutions uprisings,
police action, missile races, orbit races, arms
races, disarmament races, dirty bombs, clean
bombs and numerous other tactics guaran-
teed to confuse and confound the rest of the
world into submission out of fear.

This violence is only ,a magnification of the
state of things in the individual countries.
In the United States the labor unions are
at war with anti-union adherents, crimi-
nals are at war with the law, religious
groups, political parties and bridge clubs throw mud at
one another, kids on one block hate kids on another block.
In Russia the party members terrorize people not in the
party, the worship of Stalin has been replaced by idolization
of Khrushchev, and Khrushchev is in danger of becoming
next on the annihilation list.

In Red China millions of people die each day from starva-
tion while Mao fights a losing battle to keep the communal
system in operation as he wages war both with the Russian
hierarchy and the free world.

India attacks Goa to assert its power while its power
drains internally as people starve in the streets.
The countries of South America are torn by civil war,
starvation, disease and Communist infiltration.

The list' goes on and on, and the domestic problems of the
individual nation erupt to spill out terror and violence on the
rest of the world.

Needless to say, something has got to be done about the
world situation. "Having turned my thoughts for many
years upon this important subject, and maturely weighed
the several schemes of other projectors, I have always
found them grossly mistaken in their computation ... I
shall now therefore humbly propose my own thoughts,
which I hope will not be liable to the least objection."
The United States' resistance to the efforts of Communism
must begin with making sure that we are stronger than the
U.S.S.R. And as strength has come to mean violence, we
must make of ourselves the most violent nation on earth.

First, we must gather all our surplus food and burn it so
that other nations will not be able to use it, thereby assuring
ourselves that starvation will kill off the fighting populace
of the rest of the world.

Second, in order to show our strength to the rest of the
world, we must give evidence of our knowledge of battle
tactics. This can easily be done by staging racial fights on
the streets of our cities; and to further show the world how
ingenious we are, we must perfect the art of the home-
made bomb, the burning torch and the wielded club so
that several fatalities always result from our racial wars.
Religious leaders must become more vehement in the taunts
they throw from the pulpits. It must never be known that
Protestants have Roman Catholic and Jewish friends.

The individual has a responsibility to see that no efforts
are made to establish tolerance and understanding between
religious groups.

As young women we must prepare ourselves for the dav
when we accept the responsibilities of motherhood. We
must start now to think about how we will best go about
teaching our children that they are better than the kids
across the tracks, or the kids in Colored Town, or the kids
in Russia.

And lastly, we must not believe that we may possiblv be
defeated bv a more powerful nation. We must not think
about the possibility of nuclear war.

We must continue to enjoy ourselves, to think only of the
pleasure of the moment, to remain apathetic and concern
ourselves with only an awareness of our own personal prob-
lems.

Then, when the rest of the world looks noon us and sees
our blase indifference, sees our youth sitting around the
htililise watching T.V. and stuffing themselves on the fat of
the land until time to go down on the street corner and
throw rocks at the Neerroes: when the world sees all our
st^opfrtb nnd power they will not dare attack us.
"T profess in the sincerity of mv heart that I have not the
least personal interest in endeavoring to promote this neces-
snrv wrrV:. having no other motive than the public good of
mv country . . ." M.W.

Columnist Condemns
janization Spirit

By CAROLINE HUGHES

One-sixth of the student body attended chapel last Thurs-
day. This is bad enough under ordinary circumstances, but
this pitiful representation is holding a disproportionately
large share of power: they are molding the form of the Stu-
dent Body Association for years to come.

Such lack of interest on the
part of the other five-sixths is
frightening from the point of
view of the welfare of Agnes Scott,
from the point of view of the wel-
fare of the communities of which
they will eventually be a part,
and from the point of view of
these pathetic individuals them-
selves.

Indian Columnist Criticizes
Press Attitude on Goa Issue

By Guest Columnist JOHNNY HEMRAJANI

It is very regrettable that the American press as a whole
did not give fair representation to the Goa issue.

What was said in the press in'
no way made any attempt to pre-
sent India's point of view.

It is the purpose of this writer
to express what he feels is the
other side of the issue.

In 1947 the British left India
after a rule of 200 years. So did
the French in 1954. Both the
British and the French left in
mutual accord and friendship
with India.

Portuguese "Provinces"

Portugal continued and con-
tinues to live in the 18th and 19th
centuries. While the rest of the
colonial powers were trying to
bring self-rule to their colonies,
Portugal was trying to make "pro-
vinces" out of her colonies as
though they were a part of
Portugal.

The Portuguese territories in
India were within the Indian main-
land. The people of Goa, Danau
and Diu were Indian in almost
every respect.

Their culture, history, habits,
dress and customs made them no
different from the rest of the
people of India. While the rest of
the country was enjoying democra-
cy, there was "iron-fist" rule in
these territories.

Suppressive Regime

There is a totalitarian and sup-
pressive regime in Portugal. All
movements for political freedom
are totally suppressed by the
Portuguese regime, whether in
their own country or their colo-
nies.

In the Portuguese territories of
India, civil liberties were non-
existent, freedom of the press and
association denied and brutality
was exercised whenever the peo-
ple demanded any rights.

For 14 years the Indian govern-
ment tried to negotiate with the
Portuguese over the Goa issue. But
every move for a peaceful solution
was arrogantly refused. The cup
of patience cannot overflow in-
definitely.

Only Alternative

When the door of negotiation is
slammed on you, the only alter-
native is to choose another course
of action.

And the only course of action
left for India was to drive the
Portuguese out.

If you take back what historical-
ly, legally, morally and culturally
is a part of the rest of your coun-
try, is it aggression?

(Continued on Page 4)

Apathy

No, pathetic is not too strong
a word.

A citizen who cannot realize the
importance of the sweeping
changes that reorganization will
bring to his community is pathetic.
The man who does not believe his
voice worthy of being heard is
pathetic.

The person who cannot appre-
ciate the hours of brain-racking
work that others have carried out
in his behalf is worse than pa-
thetic.

You say that Reorganization is
not a world-shaking matter that
it does not merit such a blistering
defense. It does not claim to be
world-shaking, but it could be

'Eeny-Meeny'

In April you will have the opportunity to participate in a
farcical popularity contest which passes itself off as election
week. Farcical? yes because most of you will go through
all the motions of voting without the knowledge required for
intelligent selection.

It is the policy of the college that there
should be no campaigning by any students
for an elective office. Originally this restric-
tion was without doubt added to insure
campus harmony and solidarity; yet this
worthy aim has become prostituted in prac-
tice.

Nominees bend over backward to avoid
being labeled a "vote seeker." Candidates
avoid discussing elections in general and
their offices in particular.

Some will even confess that they avoided being "overly
friendly" to girls they rarely saw or avoided bull sessions
in the Hub.

Everyone has become afraid of seeming eager to assume
a responsible position of stating their qualifications.
We have become afraid of appearing capable.
Because no candidate is given an outlet for her views, the
electorate, the student body, is crippled in selecting its lead-
ers. It has become the practice to vote for a nominee not for
outstanding qualification but for face-value or even worse
for name familiarity.

At least two nominees for a top office last year wanted to
discuss their views and plans about the office which they
were seeking; yet this admirable offer was squelched.
It is our contention that the candidates should be freed
from the "closed mouth" policy and that the student body
should be provided with more information concerning quali-
fications than they have had in the past.
The vital democratic concept of choosing one's own lead-
ers has become on our campus an "eeny-meeny-miney-mo"
proposition. Many students even refuse to vote claiming a
semi-legitimate excuse "I don't know that much about
who's up for office."
Therefore the uninformed degenerate into the apathetic.

We do not feel that the traditional "vital statistics" sheet
is adequate to inform students of the nominees' qualifica-
tions. We would hope to publish an unbiased, all-inclusive
information sheet containing: both a candidate's qualifica-
tions for office as well as a brief statement concerning her
nims if elected.

We do not propose to choose our leaders for you. We feel
that the candidates' records of service and leadership should
sneak for themselves; yet these qualifications should not be
stifled.

Is it not more desirable to vote on the stren^h of a per-
son's abilities rather than friendship or mere physical recog-
nition?

We expect opposition to this innovation. There are al-
ways the apathetic who would defend the status quo or
the idealistic who would state they are afraid someone's
feeling might he hurt. Again there are also those who
would rather campaign quietly, battering on personality
rather than proven performance.

If vou have ever been forced to cast an uninformed vote,
vou have been compromised. You have the right to be better
informed. L.S.F.

Junior Jaunt Earns Over $1,500

Suppressed Desires Day
Features Faculty's 'Fears

By NANCY BRADFORD

Almost half of the Junior Jaunt goal of $1,500 for charity,
$714, was raised Thursday night and Friday during the
annual slave sale and Suppressed Desires Day.

In the annual Suppressed De-
sires Day chapel, few professors
or staff members escaped the
scathing searchlight of Narrator
Mariane Wurst.

Most of the scenes involved the
members of the faculty and staff
who display certain marked char-
acteristics in class and throughout
the campus.

In addition to the nlumination
of the suppressed desires of the
faculty, Narrator Wurst and her
crew of impersonators described
the suppressed fears of several
professors.

Closing the chapel was an aca-
demic procession featuring most
of the faculty. However, half way
out of the auditorium, they sud-
denly became twist contestants.

Throughout the day weird cos-
tumes could be seen, ranging from
pajamas in the dining hall to sailor
outfits. As usual, students were
able to call professors by their
first names and to scream in the
library.

The charge for. these special pri-
vileges was one dollar per student.
This fee furnished $485 of the
$714 total.

A total of $226 was raised at the
slave sale held Thursday. One
slave, Mr. Michael Brown, sold for
$80. Other slaves and their final
prices were Dr. George P. Hayes,
$54; Miss Kay Osborne, $21; and
Miss Harriet Talmadge, $25.

Each slave had to demonstrate
his or her talents. Mr. Brown and
Miss Osborne did the twist. The
highest priced slave also sang
"God Save the Queen" and "Dixie."

For a time there was competi-
tion between Mr. Brown's fresh-
man history classes and 12 upper-
classmen who obviously thought
he had shown promise as a slave.
The upperclassmen finally raised
the most money.

Dr. Hayes was bought by his
"senior admirers," while both Miss
Talmadge and Miss Osborne were
sold to groups of freshmen.

Auctioneers were seniors Betty
Gillespie and Ethel Gilmour.

Miss Elvena Green sold herself
to her two speech classes for a
total of $46.

Construction On Dorm
To Begin Summer '62

By SUSAN KEITH-LUCAS

A new dormitory, to be started
this summer, will be the first
physical evidence of the money
donated to the building campaign.

Housing about 150 students, it
will be located where Cunningham
cottage and Mr. Tart's residence
are now placed, so that it will
form a quadrangle with Walters,
the Infirmary, and the gymnasium.
Styled in "Collegiate Gothic," it
will be similar to Walters in
design.

Although the interior plan of
the building is only tentative,
it will definitely have a large
lounge and study rooms on the
ground floor, with a lounge on each
of the upper floors. Some single
rooms are planned.

A particularly attractive feature
of the new dormitory is a large
patio. A laundry room and apart-
ments for senior residents are also
included.

The new dormitory space, which
should be available in the fall of
1963, will permit the destruction
of several cottages. Since the stu-
dent body will grow very little if
at all in the next few years, the
extra space will relieve over-
crowding and possibly allow some
rooms to be used as study rooms
rather than living space.

The name for the building has
not yet been decided, but it will
be chosen by the Board of Trus-
tees.

a slave, seems to find the auctioneering amusing or perhaps he is pleased with his
rendition of "Blow, Blow Thou Winter Winde." (Right) Mr. Brown can't seem to
get the twist of The Twist to the delight of "KayOs" and student spectators.

Students Give Tests
To Faculty 'Slaves 1

Slaves Michael Brown of the
history department and George P.
Hayes, head of the English depart-
ment, as part of their duties as
Suppressed Desires Day slaves
were subjected to taking examina-
tions given by their students last
Friday.

Sharon Atkins, owner of Mr.
Brown, gave him an exam in his
own field of English history. Out of
kindness to the slave, his score will
not be made public.

Dr. Hayes took a comprehensive
exam in Russian fiction, Milton and
Donne and Shakespeare before a
crowd of students in the Hub.

Answering with ease such ques-
tions as "Trace the movements of
the French and Russian troops
hroughout War and Peace", "What
am I quoting: 'O, monstrous, mon-
strous!'," and "If Tolstoy is a fox
and Dostoevsky is a hedgehog,
discuss complexity, ambiguity and
irony in Mill on the Floss/' Dr.
Hayes, after enlivening the exami-
nation with remarks on the works
of Thomas Mann, Wagner, Lon-
ginus, Goethe and Horace, came
through with a 97 per cent, giving
him a grade of A.

The professors were treated more
kindly than their students are after
examinations. Their owners took
them to the "Ship Ahoy" Friday
night. After steak suppers, the
owners and slaves did away with
grievances and spent three hours
singing for other customers.

Every student is urged to

attend tomorrow's Student

Forum to discuss Reorganiza-
tion.

Above are architect's plans for new dormitory to be started this
summer. The new residence, styled in "Collegiate Gothic" will house
150 students and will feature apartments for Seniors.

Carnival Nets Fun, Funds;
Frosh Edge Sophomores

Fund raising for Junior Jaunt topped the set goal and
grossed a total of $1,631 for charity. The original goal was
$1,500.

At the carnival held Saturday
afternoon and night in the gym-
nasium, a total of $917 was raised
with the freshmen obtaining the
most money and winning a prize of
$50, which will also be given to
charity. Sophomores were next
with the seniors and juniors in
third and fourth place respective-
ly.

The entire $1,631 will be donated
to the three charities chosen by the
student body, as any overhead was
absorbed by the class treasuries.
These charities are Marion
Howard School, American Medical
Mission in Korea and Georgia
Mental Health.

Each class plus the faculty had
four booths and a food concession.

In money raising the freshmen
with their Club 65, Dennis the
Menace booth, pie tin contest and
bingo contest nosed out the sopho-
mores with their shoe shine booth,
cigarette guessing game, jail and
ugliest girl contest.

The seniors featured a freak
show, fun booth, fishing booth and
custom-made sweater sales. ' The
juniors sponsored a fortune teller,
hugging contest, candid camera
booth and a flea market.

The faculty had scooter rides
available on Dr. William Calder's

motor scooter, tattoos by Ferdi-
nand Warren, photos by Miss
Elvena Green and a girlie show
featuring a fire eater and four
hula "girls" Mr. John A. Tumblin,
Dr. Kwai Chang, Mr. Robert
Nelson and Dr. Hendrik Hudson.

Freshmen manned the popcorn
booth and sophomores the do-nut
concession, while seniors sold
cokes and juniors, hot dogs. The
faculty had a cake walk contest.

Included in the carnival were
special features a hockey game
sponsored by the freshmen, a
mystery event by the juniors, a
limbo contest won by Betty Ann
Gatewood which was under the di-
rection of the senior class.

The sophomores sponsored a
twist contest which Nancy Car-
michael and her date won. Runner-
up was Miss Kay Osborne, dancing
instructor, and her date.

After the final contest a dance
was held, closing the week of fund
raising on campus.

Junior Nancy Duvall was in
charge of the entire Junior Jaunt
week with a committee of repre-
sentatives from each class.

Senior Polly Page, Junior Valerie
McLanahan, Sophomore Nancy

Dolphin Club Show Will Feature
Ten 'Old South 7 Aquatic Ballets

By NANCY LEE

Big plans are in the making far Dolphin Club's annual
water pageant to be held on Feb. 9 and 10. The theme chosen
for this year's show is "Scenes from the Old South" as por-
trayed in ten water ballets.

The acts to be presented have
been choreographed and will be
executed by club members. "Tara,"
the opening number, presents a
picture of gracious living in the
Old South. This will be followed
by a comic portrayal of the Uncle
Remus' tar baby story.

Also included in the program
are a New Orleans jazz number, a
hillbilly and a pickaninny act, and
a finale, "Dixie," which is com-
plete with Confederate flags.

Notable highlights will include
a duet to "Summertime" by Mary
M^tc Mitchell and Caroline Davis,
and a Negro spiritual sung by Di-
ane Davidson.

Rounding out the show will be
floating patterns on water to the
music of "Showboat," and a solo

interpretation in slow, sustained
movement of a belle of the ball by
club president, Caroline Teague.

When asked about the forthcom-
ing pageant, Caroline replied,
"Dolphin Club's vice president, Val-
erie McLanahan, secretary-treas-
urer, Kit Kallman, and myself
have been working with our ad-
visor, Miss Kay Manuel, and all
club members on this show since
fall quarter. We believe it will be
the best water pageant yet."

Continuing, Caroline said. "Spe-
cial recognition should be given to
publicity chairman, Lindy Ger-
reald; music chairman, Barbara
Chambers; costumes chairman,

Eleven Enter Contest
For McKinney Prize

"Beholding the bright countenance of truth
In the quite and still air of delightful studies"
The above is inscribed over the fireplace in the Agnes Scott
Library. Miss Janef Newman Preston, chairman of the Louise
McKinney Book Award committee, feels that this inscription
has special meaning to those girls who are interested in the
Award.

The purpose of the Award is to
help the girls start a good personal
library that they may continue to
build on for the rest of their
lives. In order to win the Award a
contestant must show the judges
that she possesses the books not
only physically but also in content.
Most collections contain more than
the minimum fifteen books.

This year's winner will be an-
nounced in a convocation before
spring quarter finals. The follow-
ing girls will present collections
and be informally interviewed
about their books this May: Sharon
Atkins, Jo Lynn Campbell, Georgia
Gillis, Sigrid Hanson, Lillian
Harris, Ina Jones, Jane Kelly, Jo-
hanna Logan, Nancy Phillips,
Sigrid Thorstenberg and Marijke
Klein Wassink. The winner will be
excluded from further competi-
tion.

Aggression

If you bring civil rule, political
freedom and human rights to an
enslaved territory, is it aggres-
sion?

If you resort to force when you
don't have any other choice, and
bring justice where there is in-
justice, is it aggression?

If in taking these steps India
committed aggression, we must
ask ourselves what is aggression?

"Painful" to Nehru

India did not send her armies
to a sovereign state. India did not
conquer new territories. India did
not send armies to suppress any
movement for freedom.

India regained what she should
have regained long ago. For Mr.
Nehru the decision was "painful."
It was against his philosophy and
his outlook.

Yet he was forced to take the
step when what he termed the
"last efforts" had failed.

Exotic 'Shrine Highlights
City Chinese Restaurants

By LYNNE LAMBERT

If you have a "yen" for authentic Chinese Chow Mein or
Egg Foo Yong, no longer is it necessary to quell this urge
and settle instead for the good old standby of a hamburger
and french fries.

to the oriental atmosphere.

The wide selection of "Cantonese
Cuisine" to be found on the menu
should appeal to the taste of any-
one with a craving for "something
out of the ordinary." Everything
from an appetizer of Wanton Soup
to the final almond cookie is serv-
ed.

The sixteen-year old restaurant
derives its name, "Ding Ho," from
an interesting source. During the
war when American G. L's would
cross the border between Burma
and China, the Chinese would greet
them with a "thumbs up" salute
to signify that they thought our
soldiers were 'the very best!'

For one of the "ding ho" even-
ings you've had in a while, why
not escape from the American rou-
tine and try a little Chinese atmos-
phere.

Located right in the heart of
Atlanta are shrines of the Far
East offering dishes ranging from
basic rice to the
most elaborate
concoctions of
rare oriental de-
licacies.

One such place
is the "Ding Ho"
(meaning 'the
very best') which
lays claim to be-
ing Atlanta's oldest genuine
Chinese restaurant. It is located at
26 V 2 Cain Street, behind J. P.
Allen's at the top of a precarious
flight of stairs.

Upon arrival guests are greeted
by a Chinese host who guides them
to a dimly lit booth amidst the
quiet strains of dinner music of
Muzak (a schedule is provided to
reveal what songs will be playing
at each hour).

out your college careers under
this structure if it passes. A large
majority of you will have no right
to complain if certain aspects of
Reorganization displease you.

You are forfeiting such a right
now.

Some of you are leaving and
will never have to worry about the
pros and cons of this issue, but
then no issue will ever trouble
you unless it affects you very
literally and very directly. You
will rush to the grocery store when
lemons are on sale, but you will
not bother to make your way to
the polls on election day.

This columnist believes Reor-
ganization to be a very healthy
thing, but there may be smaller
areas within the total structure
that need modification. It is the
duty of every student to help dig
out these troublesome spots and
to remedy them.

Frost Poems

(Continued from Page 1)
In 1949 an Agnes Scott student,
Mrs. Doris Sullivan Tippens, did
her independent study entitled "A
Constant Symbol" about Robert
Frost.

There are numerous magazine
articles and clippings in the li-
brary collection. According to Mrs.
Byers,, the whole magazines con-
taining critical material about Mr.
Frost are kept so that the reader
may know the context in which
the article appears.

Part of the collection will be on
display for the public during Mr.
Frost's visit this week after he
reads his poems to the Agnes
Scott community Thursday night.

A.S.C. "News" Honors
Junior Scholar Bruce

By CAROLE JACKSON

Dark-haired, blue-eyed Becky
Bruce exemplifies the well-round-
ed student. A junior chemistry
major from Mineola, Texas, Becky
has participated in many campus
activities.

In 1960 Becky was chosen the
"Best-Dressed Girl" for the entire
campus in a contest sponsored by
Mademoiselle Magazine. She has
also been selected as a campus
beauty.

For three years Becky has been
an active member of Social Coun-
cil. She organized the freshman
dance last fall. This week she has
been busy working on the com-
mittee for the "Wonderland by
Night" dance to be held next week-
end.

In recognition for her outstand-
ing academic record, Becky was
elected to the science fraternity,
Chi Beta Phi, and has been named
to the honor roll for one year.

Snow Fails To Stop
Debate Tournament

Eleven colleges and universities
participated in the Agnes Scott
All-Southern Debate Tournament
of January 12 and 13. Five addi-
tional schools had planned to come
but were unable because of the
snow and ice.

Meade Boswell, debate chairman,
introduced Dr. Alston who wel-
comed the debators in the Hub.
Meade then gave instructions and
information concerning the tourna-
ment.

Debating from Agnes Scott were
Sarah Adams and Judy Little on
the affirmative team and Betty
Jean Harper and Margaret Rodgers
on the negative team. Agnes Scott
was not eligible for trophies.

Winner of the over-all trophy
was Tennessee Tech. Second place
was taken by Vanderbilt, and the
University of Kentucky was third.

Deno Curris, a senior at the Uni-
versity of Kentucky, won a cup as
the best individual debater.

Certificates for the best affirma-
tive team went to Leonard Craw-
ford Jr. and Bill Ballard of
Tennessee Tech. Ina Leonard
and Frank Woods of Vanderbilt
won certificates as the best nega-
tive team.

The student debaters argued
five rounds on the issue of whether
labor unions should be made sub-
ject to anti-trust legislation.

Agnes Scott freshmen are now
eligible for membership in Pi
Alpha Phi. Tryouts will be held on
February 30 at 7 p.m.

Each person will be required to
make a five minute affirmative or
negative speech on one of the
selected topics. Lists of the topics
will be posted on the general
bulletin board in the mailroom.

of the three boards act as advisory
members.

The judicial authority of the
Association would be vested in the
Judicial Council, which would be
composed of the officers of the
Association and representatives
from each class.

Expulsion Proposal

A slight alteration of judicial
policy has also been proposed. In
the past a unanimous vote has
been necessary to recommend the
penalty of suspension or expulsion,
but in the new proposal a three-
fourths majority of the member-
ship would be sufficient. However,
the Association would still reserve
the right to appeal the council's
decision.

The Joint House Council and the
separate house councils would
exercise the executive authority of
the Association with respect to the
individual residential units. This
would provide an additional tie
between the Representative Coun-
cil and the Student Body and
would be particularly advan-
tageous in enforcing the rules and
in pursuing solutions for dorm
problems.

Responsibility in the athletic,
religious and social aspects of the
Student Government Association
would still be delegated to Ath-
letic Association, Christian Asso-
ciation and Social Council, re-
spectively.

Thursday Forum

It has also been proposed that
two additional members of the
faculty be added to the Admin-
istrative Committee.

Forum Debates
S. G. Proposal

By KAY ROBERTSON

The discussion in student meet-
ing last Thursday revealed objec-
tions to various aspects of the
program for the reorganization of
Student Government.

Several students objected to the
three boards' being placed under
the jurisdiction of the Student
Government Association in the con-
stitution. Sylvia Pruitt argued that
this implied subordination, and
while the danger is merely verbal
now there might be a chance of its
becoming actual in the future.

In defense of the intentions of
the plan, Judy Holloway, Judicial
Chairman, pointed out that the
scope of the constitution was mere-
ly an effort to show the relation-
ship of the three boards to the
Association.

"Each board will still have a
separate constitution and will con-
tinue to function as it has in the
past," she stated.

Vicky Allen also pointed out
that the Student Government Asso-
ciation is composed of the whole
Student Body. The major organiza-
tions on the campus will be repre-
sented on the Representative
Council, but again this should not
be identified with the Executive
Committee.

The discussion of reorganiza-
tion will be continued tomorrow in
Student Forum. All students are
urged to attend.

Organizations Urge
Freshman Support

Now that the freshmen have got-
ten their second wind after the
trials and tribulations of fall
quarter, the ASC News would like
to point out a few of the many
campus activities open to them.

Freshman may start working on
their hours needed to get in Black-
friars this quarter. Those who are
intrigued by the smell of grease-
paint will find plenty to do back-
stage with the theater group. To
become a member of Blackfriars.
one must fulfill the required num-
ber of work hours for the quarter
preceding the one in which she is
to be initiated.

The Dance Group, jazz and con-
temporary stylists, is open to fresh-
men by tryout, also the Seal Club,
which is the junior swimming club.

The staffs of both Silhouette and
the Agnes Scott News will be ask-
ing for the services of those inter-
ested in journalistic endeavor.
Aurora welcomes freshmen submis-
sions.

The Badminton Club, sponsored
by Miss Wilburn, is also open by
tryout to freshmen.

The officers of these clubs urge
Freshmen membership, and they
will be glad to answer any ques-
tions concerning their activities.

Alston To Address
Campaign Dinners

With the challenge date just two
years from tomorrow, the Building
Campaign has reached the mid-
point of its most intensive stage.
The first two years of the cam- 1
paign have been spent in a very
successful campus campaign and
forty area campaigns.

President and Mrs. Alston, and
Dr. McNair will visit four more
cities early next month to organize
area efforts. On Feb. 1 they will
be in Little Rock. Ark., and will
go to Shreveport, La. on the next
day.

On Feb. 5 and 6 the Texas
effort will be continued with din-
ners in Dallas and Houston. Presi-
dent Emeritus McCain will be pres-
ent at the Little Rock dinner.

Four area campaigns in the
spring will bring this phase of the
appeal to an end. Another campus
campaign is tentatively scheduled
for the fall of 1963 to wind up the
formal effort. If the goal of eleven
million dollars is reached by
Jan. 26, 1964, an anonymous half-
million dollar challenge gift may
be claimed.

Julie Norton and Margaret Smith team up to practice for their
forthcoming badminton match with Miss McKemie and Mr. Brown
on Friday.

Visitor Stresses
U. N. Awareness

"There is more interest in world affairs and awareness
among girls than among boys on our college campuses," was
one of the observations made by Jed Johnson, a representa-
tive of the Collegiate Council of the United Nations, at a
dinner meeting last Thursday.

Badminton Season Opens Fri.-
Faculiy, Students Slate Tourney

By ELEANOR LEE

What was that I heard you say?
A faculty-students badminton
match! When? This Friday at 3:30
p.m. you say. That's just before
the basketball game, isn't it? Yes
I agree I don't know where I
got the idea that there wasn't any
excitement winter quarter.

There should be much excite-
ment as Mr. Brown and Miss Mc-
Kemie, the two outstanding faculty
enthusiasts, take
their places on
the court. (It has
been reported
that Mr. Brown
can reach from
I one side of the
; court to the
other.)

However, with
undaunted spirit, Julie Norton and
Margaret Smith will take the op-
o&itiOT, This is not going to be
an easy match for either team

Gilliland Sets Deadline
For Magazine Entries

Receiving a First Class rating
from the Associated Collegiate
Press Association was the 1960
Aurora, the A. S. C. "arts maga-
zine for student expression."

"We are quite pleased because
only three literary magazines re-
ceived higher ratings than Auro-
ra/' stated Kay Gilliland, editor
of the 1961-62 Aurora. She con-
tinued to say that this was quite
an improvement over the previous
school year's arts magazine.

The tentative deadline for both
literary and art entries for the
next issue of Aurora is February 8.

freshman threat, and Julie Norton,
champion of last year's singles and
doubles tournament.

This thrilling match is only the
first of the badminton season. The
badminton singles and doubles
tournament will be starting soon.
Why don't YOU participate in
them? It's a fun and relaxing sport
in which you may discover your-
self to be vei*y talented.

Michele Bullard has just been
elected president of the Badmin-
ton Club. Tryouts will be held
Thursday night of next week
since Robert Frost will be here
tomorrow. Don't be afraid of com-
ing even if you have never played
before. You won't be the first one
who's done it.

Well, now I expect to see many
spectators, both faculty and stu-
dents, at the match this Friday.
It's too good a thing to miss.

and the need for campus aware-
ness, Mr. Johnson remarked that
he was concerned about "a prob-
lem of apathy in regard to world
affairs on all campuses, which
however, is more noticeable in the
South."

Mr. Johnson was particularly
amazed to find that the race issue
is not of vital concern on Southern
campuses. "The race issue is a
world-wide, not a Southern prob-
lem," but "the fact that it is not
a vital concern indicates that
someone's head is in the sand."

The C.C.U.N. is a group with non
government organization status in
the United Nations. It was or-
ganized in 1946 by 66 college stu-
dents, and has grown to include
300 colleges as affiliate members.

Talking to representatives from
the World Awareness Committee,
Representative Council and the
News, Mr. Johnson outlined the
purposes of the C.C.U.N. as (1)
to promote support for the U.N.

Many Activities Of Weekend Include
Water Ballet, Luncheon, Open House

Approximately 225 parents,
morrow evening, February 8,
the College.

Sophomore Parents' Week-end
has become a tradition at Agnes
Scott since it was first held here
five years ago.

The idea for it loomed into re-
ality because, as Dr. Julia Gary,
faculty co-ordinator, commented,
"It was recognized that the sopho-
more year is an in-between year
in which the students are neither
freshmen new faces on campus
or juniors first year upperclass-
men.

"Having a week-end such as this
adds significance to the sophomore
year and calls attention to its real
importance."

Preparation

Preparation for this year's week-
end began during the fall quarter;
Dr. Alston sent the initial ex-
planation and invitation to the
sophomores' parents shortly before
Christmas.

Then, in the middle of January,
official invitations from the Class
of '64 were mailed. Last week pro-
gram schedules were sent to those
parents coming.

Registration will begin tomor-
row at 7 p.m. in Walters Hall liv-

brothers, and sisters of sophomores will begin arriving to-
for a week-end as the honored guests of the Class of '64 and

ing room where it will continue
Friday, 9-10:20 a.m. (during which
time coffee will be served), 2-5 p.m.
and Saturday, 9-10 a.m.

Chapel

The Friday chapel program,
planned by Mary Jo Winterle, will
be the weekly Thanksgiving serv-
ice. Dean C. Benton Kline, Jr. will
speak on "Commitment."

Parents will be given the oppor-
tunity to talk with the faculty in
their offices from 2:30 p.m. on
Friday, and in addition will have
the opportunity to visit all college
classes on Friday and Saturday.

Friday afternoon will also be
the occasion for visiting all sopho-
more dormitory rooms and the day
student lounge (4-5:30). A time
for refreshments and for meeting
friends' parents is planned in the
Open House in Walters Recreation
Room (4-5:30 p.m.).

Water Ballet

Dolphin Club will present two
productions of its water show
"Scenes from the Old South" Fri-
day evening at 7:30 and 8:45 for
sophomores and their guests, only.

Among the points of interest

President Alston States Factors
Involved in Negro's Application

By SUSAN KEITH-LUCAS

Radio, television and newspapers have informed the At-
lanta area that a Negro girl has applied to Agnes Scott Col-
lege. This article is written in an attempt to clear up the
rumors and to present the facts as they stand now.

The application, which comes
from a prospective day student, is
incomplete so far and cannot be
acted upon until the girl's college
board scores and other information
are supplied.

The college trustees have made
no formal written policy concern-
ing the admission of Negroes, nor
is there an understood one.

This is the first Negro applica-
tion to be received here, and "will
be acted upon by the admissions
board an any other would be, un-
less the trustees rule otherwise,"
President Wallace M. Alston
stated.

Policy Decision

If the admissions board recom-
mends the student, the 35-member
Board of Trustees will be forced
to make a policy decision.

When the Board meets in May,
it will be faced with several con-
siderations affecting its decision.
The first of these is Agnes Scott's
relationship to the Presbyterian
church, which has strongly recom-
mended integration of its colleges.

Another problem is that Georgia
state law subjects any private
school to loss of its tax-exempt
status if it accepts Negroes. Em-
ory University has declared that
it cannot accept any Negro appli-
cations because of this law.
Student Interchange

If Agnes Scott were subjected
to this law, the taxes would be

"almost lethal to the college," Dr.
Alston said.

A third consideration is Agnes
Scott's interchange of students
with Columbia Seminary, which
has integrated, and Emory, which
has not because of the law.

Other considerations may well
be involved in the board's decision,
but these are the three discussed
by Dr. Alston in convocation on
Jan. 31.

Several inquiries have been made
by other Negro applicants. Miss
(Continued on Page 4)

which will be accessible to the
visitors during the week-end are
Bradley Observatory, the Ceramics
Shop, the Art Gallery, MacDougall
Museum, the Radioisotope Labora-
tory and the Robert Frost collec-
tion and Independent Study papers
in McCain Library.

The Saturday chapel program
will be a co-ordinated arts pro-
gram given by the Dance Group,
the Speech Department and the
Glee Club. Planned by Sally Ector,
Susan Keith-Lucas, Nanck Wassell
and Mrs. Pepperdene, this presen-
tation will acquaint the sopho-
mores' parents with some of the
activities of the campus.

Saturday Luncheon

Letitia Evans Dining Hall will
be the scene of the seated lunch-
eon Saturday at 1 p.m. Betty Hood,
president of the sophomore class,
will preside and Dr. Alston will
speak.

Those invited to the luncheon as
special guests include Dr. and Mrs.
Wallace M. Alston, Dr. and Mrs.
C. B. Kline, Mr. and Mrs. Hal
Smith, Dr. McCain, Dr. and Mrs.

Sans Sophs

It is appropriate with the approach of Sophomore Parents'
Weekend that someone should rise to explain why so-called
sophomores are a "must" on every campus, notwithstanding
our own.

Somewhere down through the ages, a lexicographer coined
the adjective "sophomoric" which Webster's now defines as:
"Of, pertaining to, resembling ,or characteristic of a sopho-
more; hence, immature; shallow; bombastic; superficial."

Feeling that this stigma is somewhat
unjust, we would like to point out that
sophomores are useful and even bene-
ficial.

In the first place, without the group
sophomores there would be one less tricky
spelling in the English language to trip up
careless students. Without this group, there
would be no "sophomore slump" to delight-
fully infect the entire campus winter quarter.
Without sophomores there obviously could
be no S. P. W. (Sophomore Parents Weekend) a time all
sophomore relatives look forward to as they have not heard
from her since Christmas and wonder if she has a) eloped,
b) flunked, c) transferred suddenly, or d) died.

Without sophomores the seniors would have no sister
class no ally against the disrespectful freshmen and the
presumptuous juniors. The "tired 'ol Seniors" would then
have no side to cheer for after their mimimum -manned
teams have fagged out for lack of substitutions.
Because statistical reports have shown thait sophomores
date more than any other class, without this group there
would be more outside lines open on the switchboard, less
work for the Dean's staff, available date parlors, hardly any
fraternity pins on campus and perhaps hardly any men.

Without sophomores there would be space to study or play
bridge in the Hub and perhaps a decrease in chapel attend-
ance .Without sophomores there would be no committee mem-
bers for upperclassmen committee heads, no staff members
for publications chiefs.

Without the searching, inventive sophomoric mind there
would be fewer headaches for the faculty and would-be
upperclassmen advisors. For sophomores have problems
that never occur to other age groups.

Without the tangible accreditation "sophomores," there
would be no way to combat the ancient adage that "all fresh-
men fail out of Agnes Scott." Without sophomores there
would also be fewer junior transfers to U. N. C. and all other
co-educational rest havens.

Without the naive questions of sophomores in open forums
and all other student discussions, the rest of us could be a lot
more sure that, indeed, our way is the only way and it, there-
fore, should be immediately adopted on our word alone.
In short, we could be and would be complacent.

Without sophomores . . . the list goes on and on . . in all
our ambiguity, we couldn't do without them. L. F.

Hughes Supports
15 Member Vote

Without going into the intricate combinations of votes that
have been devised, I would like to speak for a three-fourths,
rather than a unanimous decision by the judicial body
necessary for suspension or expulsion.

Such a change would actually
give more power to both sides of
a question; negative and affirma-
tive votes could be cast with more
Cf-.nfirinr. nntf more conviction.

It is a tremen-
dous undertaking
to take one girl's
life into your
hands and to be-
z'm to shape it. I
know. Yet cer-
tain members of
our student body
are given this
responsibility.
There will always be those who
cannot detach themselves emotion-
ally from a case. There will al-
ways be those who could never
vote for suspension or expulsion
no matter what the girl had done
to the school. There are some who
have rationally arrived at a nega-
tive decision.

These people can he right or
wrong, but now they essentially
have no say. They are either

swayed into voting "yes" with
the majority or erroneously feel
it their duty to abstain from
voting.

The negative vote, especially
when it is in the minority, must
be given some measure of power.

On the other hand, the ordeal of
such a case has certainly forced
on affirmative vote into abstention.
Knowing that the negative votes
had no voice in actuality, a con-
scientious affirmative was over-
whelmed by the enormity of the
decision that she was called upon
to make.

With a smaller body, unanimity
would be a necessity, but our ju-
dicial board is too large to be
forced to work under such an in-
tolerable restriction.

Various compromisees have been
attempted by members of the stu-
dent body. Some of them border
on the ridiculous: one sure way
to ruin a government, especially
a new government, is to impose a
burden of intricate detail upon it.

Letters to Editor

Dear Editor,

I thoroughly enjoyed my small
participation in Suppressed Desires
Day. My large class in the Roman-
tic Poets co-operated with me
superbly in a "teaching perform-
ance." On such a cold, raw day,
it looked comfortable to see my
students in slacks and bluejeans!

When, however, I went into my
classroom, Buttrick 209, on Satur-
day morning, I was annoyed and
shocked to see that everything on
the bulletin board had been care-
fully (?) pinned upside down.

This displaced material included
a list of designated lines from
"Tintern Abbey" that had been
posted for my class to memorize
by Monday, January 22.

It also included a folder of pic-
tures of the Lake District, one of
which was so badly bent that it is
permanently injured.

I do not think that any member
of English 321, made up of respon-
ible juniors and seniors, was guilty
of this act of bad taste and vanda-
lism.

I do not know what classes met
in Buttrick 209 after I left the
room at 1:30. But I do think that
this kind of irresponsible behavior
exceeds the "privileges" permitted
and paid for on Suppressed De-
sire Day.

Sincerely,
Janef Newman Preston

Student Aesop Tells
Timely, Pointed Tale

By ETHEL GILMOUR

Once upon a time there was a happy family of polar bears.
Now this happy family lived in the deep South Pole. Each
member of the family was very different, but even so, each
bear was very good and kind.

Mother bear was neat and clean
and she kept a very tidy house.
She always stored plenty of fish
for winter time so that there would
be enough left over to share with
her neighbors.

She was very
strict with the
two baby bears,
but she would let
them wander out
of the yard now
and then so they
could see some
of the world
around them.
Father bear well, everybody
loved him. He was big and grumpy
on the outside, but sweet as honey
on the inside. He worked hard
every day, but always had time
to fish and play with the baby
bears.

Thinking . . .

Grandpa bear well, he was an
old, old bear, but good and kind.
He sat all day and dreamed of the
big fish he used to catch when he
was a young bear.

Now the two baby bears were

by the Kremlin announced that
agriculture will be the primary
subipct under discussion.

Although offi-
cial announce-
ments concerning
Russian policy
are sometimes
unreliable, some
world observers
feel that in
March Commu-
nist leaders will
be forced to consider a serious
problem, food production.

During January Premier
Khrushchev toured the major food-
producing areas in the Soviet
Union.

"Dull" Diet

The Russian goal for reaching a
per capita consumption of milk
and meat comparable to that in
the United States has not been
realized.

Certainly Russia is not threaten-
ed with starvation. The diet is
sufficient though "dull" and hardly
compatible with the Soviet boast
of a steady rise in the standard of
living.

The food production problem is
not peculiar to the Soviet Union:
it constitutes a crisis in the Com-
munist world.

Food Shortage

East Germany faces a food
shortage due primarily to loss of
population and Red agricultural
policies.

China has been forced to turn
to the Western world in order to
avert mass starvation among its
faceless millions.

Substantial purchases of wheat
from Canada and Australia indi-
cate failure in domestic food pro-
duction.

always thinking, thinking, think-
ing. They listened to mother bear,
father bear and grandpa bear and
then they would go and think and
think some more.

So you see this was a very good
and happy family, except for one
thing. The whole family was afraid
of the big black bear who lived
across the ice-berg behind their
house.

Big Black Bear

Everyone in the family had seen
the big black bear, but it had al-
ways been at a distance. Mother
bear had taken a Christmas bas-
ket of fish over to the big black
bear's house. This made her feel
very good and kind inside. But she
did not talk to the big black bear.

Father bear made sure that
some one would teach the big black
bear how to hunt and fish. Father
bear was a very fair bear, and this
made him feel good and kind in-
side. But he did not talk to the
big black bear.

Grandpa bear gave the big black
bear half a fish when the big black
bear brought him some firewood
for his stove. Grandpa bear never
talked to the big black bear either.
Invasion

The two baby bears talked to
the big black bear and thought
and thought and thought.

One day the whole family went
to their ice pond to do some fishing
before dinner. And there sat the
big black bear fishing in their ice
hole.

(Continued on Page 4)

Green Eggs, Ham

Green Eggs and Ham, Dr. Seuss' current book for children,
tells the story of a yellow, fuzzy, top-hatted cross between a
cocker spaniel and a moose who absolutely refuses to eat the
green eggs and ham his friend Sam brings him for dinner.
He is made ridiculous as he turns up his nose, lowers his jaw
ar at his well-meaning, midget friend.

Certainly no child could read the story
without sensing the injustices of Sam's treat-
ment, for when he asks his friend to "please
just taste them," his friend throws him into
the ocean without further conversation.
The announcement of the uncompleted
application of a Negro student to Agnes
Scott last week was much more world-
shaking than green eggs and ham. Most of
us heard it from our roommates who heard
it from the girl she ate lunch with (she couldn't remember
her name) who had found it on page 65 of the Atlanta
newspaper, lower left column.
Immediately some temperatures rose, some fell, but all the
campus sounded like a henhouse. Few people stopped crow-
ing long enough to find out the real story.

Not only did we have all the answers, but we had all the
information.

Taking a stand on a controversial issue is for most people
a matter of integrity. Nobody likes a hypocrite. However,
taking a dogmatic, hell-bent attitude before adequate infor-
mation or quiet consideration is as ridiculous as the green
eggs and ham business.

Agnes Scott needs the carefully thought out, individual
answers and opinions not the kind that make^ pencil
lead break while signing hastily organized petitions to
"whomever."

We ask ourselves why the nervous laughter when Dr.
Alston told us to "go about our business?" why the
campus-wide Game of Gossip in which the rumors got wilder
and wilder? Why the midnight discussions which began on
the subject, got off the subject and ended up in a petition?

The storv about Sam and the green eggs and ham is a
funnv storv. Some psvchologists tell us we laugh at the mis-
r oHunos anH problems of our comic strip friends because
deer* rlown we are so haonv it is thev and not we.
Onlv sometimes we laugh anyway. I.J.

Albania

Albania, China's newly acquired
protege, depends on her protector
to meet Albanian food shortages
which is, to use a tired cliche, like
"the blind leading the blind."

Yugoslavia and Poland are the
only nations in the Communist
world with a good record in food
production.

These two countries have aban-
doned the collective farm system
and given the land back to the
peasants.

12% Growth

Economically speaking, Yugo-
slavia has inaugurated other modi-
fications of Communist practices
such as private participation in
service trades and retail produc-
tion.

These innovations have led to a
12 per cent economic growth rate
in Yugoslavia, the only Communist
nation which has "cut the apron
strings" from Mother Russia.

Certainly we should not mini-
mize the economic and agricultural
gains made under Communism
since 1917.

Doctrinal Crisis

But the ideology which professes
to have a solution for all problems
faces a serious crisis which its
doctrinal practices have been un-
able to resolve.

Insufficient food production pre-
sents a crisis to the Communist
world. The resolution to this cri-
sis may entail serious damage to
the doctrines of orthodoxy in
world Communism.

Dr. William Barr Oglesby
To Lead R. E. Discussions

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Within a few days Dr. William Barr Oglesby, Jr. will
arrive on campus to lead the college in its annual observance
of Religious Emphasis Week.

Sense of Humor

His relationships with the stu-
dents are kept on an easy informal
basis which allows for practical
jokes, prime enjoyments of Dr.
Oglesby, a man with a keen sense
of humor. Dean Lewis, of the
Seminary, described him as having
an excellent collection of jokes, of
which the best and most humorous
re those he brought with him from
Arkansas."

Among his outside interests are
travel, hunting, the theatre and
cooking. Another colleague says of
him, "Whenever there is a picnic
or outing, he is likely to be cast in
the cook's role, but I notice that
he steadfastly and consistently
avoids washing dishes either at
home or on an outing!"

Activities
One of Dr. Oglesby's major con-
cerns is with retarded children, and
he has served on the boards for
both the Richmond and Virginia
Associations for Retarded Chil-
dren.

Dr. Oglesby, a native Miss-
issippian, is one of the outstanding
leaders in the Presbyterian
Church. His warm outgoing per-
sonality makes him much in de-
mand as a speaker, particularly at
women's conferences, but his first
allegiance is to the potential mini-
sters at Union Theological Semi-
nary in Richmond where he has
served as the Marthina DeFriece
Professor of Pastoral Counseling
since 1952.

Dr. Oglesby received his A. B.
and D.D. degrees from Austin Col-
lege in Sherman, Texas, his B. D.
and Th. M. from Union Seminary
in Richmond, and his Ph. D. from
the University of Chicago.
Pastorates
He was ordained into the mini-
stry of the Presbyterian Church in
1940, and held his first pastorate
in the First Church of New Iberia,
La. from 1940 to 1942. From there
he went to the First Presbyterian
Church of Helena, Ark. until 1947
and then to Little Rock where he
was pastor of the Pulaski Heights
Presbyterian Church until 1952.

As a past member of his Little
Rock church, I can remember
everyone's calling him "Bill," no
reflection in his dignity, but simply
a tribute to his lovable personality.

Dr. and Mrs. Oglesby have two
daughters, Mimi, who is in high
school, and Anne, a freshman at
Southwestern in Memphis. Their
home is a popular meeting place,
both for the Seminary students to
whom Dr. Oglesby serves as
counselor and for the friends of
the two daughters.

Experimenting
Faculty Efforts

By NANCY BRADFORD
Editor's Note: This is the first of two articles which are
printed in an effort to acquaint the entire campus with
the continuing research of the faculty.

Professors in almost every department are currently work-
ing on research projects which will be published in the near
future.

In the Bible department, Dr.
Kwai Sing Chang is writing a
series of articles for the Children's
Religious Magazine entitled 'The
Gospel, The Teacher and the
World." This series will be pub-
lished in the magazine beginning
in October.

Dr. Mary Boney is helping in re-
vising the material in the Covenant
Life Curriculum. Miss Boney is
writing the book to be used by
the seventh and eighth graders
plus the companion book to be
used by teachers.

Forthcoming Address

The book, which will be used in
the Presbyterian Church of the
U. S. beginning in September of
1964, is a survey emphasizing the
One story of the Bible.

Professor Boney is also planning
to present a paper at the South-
eastern section conference of the
National Association of Biblical
Instructors to be held in March
at Guilford College in North Caro-
lina.

This paper will be presented by
Miss Boney as the president's ad-
dress to the conference.

New Book by Posey

In the history department Dr.
Walter Posey is currently in the
midst of collecting material for a
forthcoming book, Religions South
of the Ohio River.

Three of Dr. Posey's previous
publications have dealt with this
subject and the new book will in-
clude material from these books
and information about three other
religions.

Dr. Posey says that work should
not be completed on this new
project until next year. His other
books include surveys of the
growth of the Methodist, Baptist
and Presbyterian church in the
South and Southwest.

Cornelius Project

Dr. William Cornelius, associate
professor of political science, is
collecting data for a book con-
cerning the present day southern
political trends, mostly in the ur-
ban areas.

The book will include informa
tion obtained from the voting pre-
cincts throughout the south about
the number, type and political
attitudes of voters in the last 25
years.

Swart and Copple

An article by Dr. Cornelius on
the county unit system in Georgia
was published in the last issue of
the "Western Political Quarterly."

Dr. Koenraad Swart is also en-
gaged in collecting material for a
book.

In the psychology department
Dr. Lee Copple is continuing a
study started while he was at Van-
derbilt University involving the re-
lationship between reading diffi-
culties in grammar school children
and their self-concepts.

Dr. Copple feels that there is a
connection between a child's con-
cept of his own ability and his
reading proficiency. Having ob-
tained data from a Murfreesboro
school in Tennessee, the professor
is currently working in connection
with the Decatur schools.

Psychology Publications

Dr. George E. Rice is working

with several students on various
experiments which will be pub-
lished in psychological journals.

Research has just been com-
pleted on an experiment conducted
by senior Kacki White for inde-
pendent study on the relationship
between behavior and racial atti-
tude.

Using two groups of 40 each,
Agnes Scott and Atlanta business
women, Kacki devised a game
whereby racial discrimination
could be measured. Subjects were
chosen with as near a similarity
as possible in age and living loca-
tion.

Second Study

Results of the experiment have
not been tabulated, but the report
has already been accepted for
presentation at the Southeastern
Psychological Association meeting
in March.

Dr. Rice says that he plans to
present it later for publication in
several journals.

Another experiment conducted
by Dr. Rice and Kacki will appear
in the next issue of the Journal
of Comparative and Psychological
Psychology.

Rat Experiment

Started in 1959 with Priscilla
Gainer, this experiment was con-
tinued and widened this summer
with a grant from the National
Institute of Mental Health.

Dr. Rice and Kacki observed the
extent to which aiding behavior
was predominant in the relation-
ship between a rat being electri-
cally shocked and an operator rat
who could turn off the current.

Using Joyce Townsend as sub-
ject, an experiment on extrasen-
sory perception has been accepted
for publication by the "Journal
of Parapsychology." The article
will appear next September or
April.

One of the least understood policies at A.S.C. is that of
receiving keys and discs for participation in athletic events.
Each spring these awards are made at the Community Pic-
nic to students who have earned the required amount of
points in the area of athletics.

Points are given for participation
in team sports (tennis, badminton,
swimming, archery, dance), inde-
pendent recreation (bicycling,
hiking, golf) and clubs (tennis,
dance, badminton).

Of course, individuals receive
points in these areas according to
their skill (hockey varsity-20
points) and the amount of time
spent on the sports (1 hour of
hiking-1 point; Class Manager for
a team-3 points; A. A. Board Mem-
bers receive between 60 and 30
points depending on their in-
dividual offices).

In order to be eligible for a key,
a girl must have 240 points re-
corded. To receive a disc an addi-
tional 120 points are needed.

For all organized activities the
managers are responsible for keep-
ing a record of points. All other
points and activities must be re-
corded by individuals on the Sports
Board at the top of the stairs in
the gym.

A. A. urges all students who
participate in individual activities
to record hours and points on the

Drama, Music, Art
Emphasize Religion

The expression of religion
through various art forms will be
the purpose of several special ac-
tivities around Religious Emphasis
Week. Drama, music and art will
be explored at two chapel pro-
grams and a week-long display.

On Monday, Jan. 12, Carey Bow-
en and the Rev. William E. Bray
will present a play, "The Last
Word" in chapel.

Written by James Broughton,
the play "deals with the remain-
ing minutes before extermination
by bombs when a husband and
wife confront the end of their
existence and thus begin for the
first time in their lives to confront
each other as persons."

Mr. Bray is a student at Yale
University and is serving as Asso-
ciate Pastor at the First Baptist
Church of Dal ton, Georgia.

In a chapel program on Thurs-
day, Feb. 22, a survey of "Re-
ligious Expression in Music" will
be presented. Using familial' hymns
and progressing to instrumental
selections from Bach to the pres-
ent, the program will be directed
by Linda Lentz with the assistance
of Annette Smith.

During R. E. Week itself, there
will be a display of student art
on religious themes. Julianne
Williams is working with the Art
Department on this phase of the
study of art and religious ex-
pression.

Critic Sarton Lectures,
Reviews Student Work

By LAURA HAWES

May Sarton, celebrated poet and novelist, has been visiting
on campus for three days. Monday night Miss Sarton lec-
tured on "The School of Babylon," giving a paper on tension
and equilibrium in poetry which she first presented at the
Johns Hopkins Poetry Festival.

In chapel Tuesday Miss Sarton
read selections from her own
poems, including "Land of Silence."

Yesterday afternoon she dis-
cussed fiction written by Scott
students which was compiled for
her criticism. Earlier she had
laughingly anticipated the work-
shop as "a sort of public annihila-
tion" for both herself and the
writers, but she added that many
of the stories were promising, and
commended Scott for its combina-
tion of "high scholarship and
fervor."

Today Miss Sarton lectured on
"The- Design of the Novel" and
"The Challenge of Metaphor."

As the titles of her talks sug-
gest, Miss Sarton is equally at
home in prose and verse. She has
written five volumes of poetry,
seven novels (the most recent her
best-seller about teacher and stu-
dent. Small Room), and an auto-
biographical sketch, I Knew a
Phoenix.

Miss Sarton is now combining
her writing with lecturing at
Wellesley College, where she
teaches creative writing half the
year.

"Lifting Elephants"

A student with a real love for
any literature excites her she
hates "lifting elephants." Miss
Sarton feels that the saddest thing
in present American life is the
lack of reading.

When asked whether she pre-
fers poetry or prose, Miss Sarton
finally replied that if she were in
solitary confinement she would
still write poems. "I write poetry
to see who and where I am ... A
poem is a moment of intense
vision it can't be put off till
next week when I have three hours
of free time."

She went on to say that a novel
is a "journey of exploration" and
necessarily more sustained. (Hers
have all taken over two years to
write.

Actress Turned Playwright

Play-writing is Miss Sarton's
present exploration. Apprenticed
as an actress at seventeen in New
York, she kept her troupe to-
gether through three depression
years, directing, producing and
acting in her off-Broadway theater.

Now after thirty years she re-
turns to the theater with her first
play, Music-Box Bird, and plans
to write several more.

In her literary work, Miss Sar-
ton hopes that she is writing to a
vertical audience she would
rather have 500 people read her
500 years from now than produce
a smashing but short-lived best-
seller.

"Magic of Life"

In the same vein, she much pre-
fers quiet visits of good friends at
her New Hampshire home to for-
mal entertaining.

Miss Sarton's advice to young
college graduate women is "Do
nothing you ought to do; and put

Class representatives of Agnes
Scott alumnae from all over the
Southeast met on the Decatur
campus Saturday, Feb. 17 to launch
the Agnes Scott Fund, a new
annual giving program whose im-
mediate aim is to raise the level
of faculty salaries.

The college's total annual ex-
penditure for faculty and staff
salaries has increased 150% in the
past eleven years, "but much more
needs to be done," says President
Alston.

Some 40 classes of Agnes Scott
graduates were represented at
Saturday's meeting, a class agents
workshop designed to set up the
Alumnae division of the Agnes
Scott Fund. Four other divisions
will be activated later.

Dr. Eleanor Hutchens, associate
professor of English and President
of the Agnes Scott National Alum-
nae Association, presided at the
meeting.

Dr Wallace Alston addressed
the group at 1:30 p.m.

Salmon To Discuss
Roman Imperialism

Professor E. T. Salmon of Mc-
Master University, Hamilton,
Ontario, will speak on "Aspects of
Roman Imperialism" at 8 p.m. to-
night in Mar.Icrn Auditorium.

Dr. Salmon, received his Ph.D.
from Cambridge and is the author
of a number of books and articles
on Roman history. He is a former
President of the Classical Associa-
tion of Canada and is a Fellow of
the Royal Society of Canada and
of the Roy? 1 Historical Society.

Decatur, prominent Georgia in-
dustrialist of the late 1800's and
1900's who gave $112,000 for the
establishment of Agnes Scott In-
stitute the largest individual
gift to education ever made in
Georgia at the time.

Southern Literary Festival
Invites Students' Entries

Such distinguished authors as Cleanth Brooks, Eudora
Welty, Flannery O'Connor and Andrew Lytte will criticize
student manuscripts at the Southern Literary Festival to be
held at Converse College April 19-21.

A literary contest will be con-
ducted in four categories: fiction,
poetry, essay and one-act play.
Agnes Scott will send one entry in
each category of the contest.

Any student may contribute an
original work in any of these cate-
gories in the campus competition;
it is permissible to submit a work
previously published in the Aurora.
Campus selections will be made by
the Department of English. Manu-
scripts must be turned into either
Kay Gilliland, Editor of Aurora, or
Miss Trotter before March 3 for
consideration.

urges all to pay their pledges as
soon as possible.

Honor Forum

Trust Entails Reciprocal Action

Editor's Note: The following is an article written by Senior Judy Holloway, Student Gov-
ernment Judicial Chairman.

Let's talk about judicial action, and let's talk about it frankly. Why was it ever necessary
in the first place? Obviously because the Honor System needed to be protected. As trusting
as the system is (and it is) it cannot be blind in its trust and pretend that everyone will
respond reciprocally.

orable in return does nothing

Indeed, every society has its
parasites and leeches, and Agnes
Scott is no exception. Now the
leeches are those who drain the
organism of its very life blood
while the parasites, well, they just
sit around and watch.

Consequently, the organism be-
comes weak and stagnant: no re-
sistence no persistence.

Is preservation possible? (Of
course the real issue here may be
whether or not the organism is
worth saving, but I'm willing to go
on the basic assumption that it is,
so let's proceed). Into the picture
comes judicial action. A very mes-
sy job it is uprooting the
usurpers of a society yet neces-
sary.

Appeal to Rationality

But how can one reach these
"cleverly disguised" folk? Because
we're in the realm of the highest
of the animal kingdom (supposed-
ly), we appeal to rationality, a
sense of dignity, and the inkling of
integrity which this school believes
to be somewhere in the character
of each student.

It is best when a leech realizes
that "leeching" taking advan-
tage of trust without being hon-

but harm to her own integrity as
well as to that of the community.

Having thus gained a commend-
able knowledge of the facts of life,
she faces the honest adults and
students on this campus in a like
manner, and the result is a rare
experience.

"Self-uprooting"

This "self-uprooting" is what
we have emphasized this year be-
cause it is by far the most val-
uable.

But what happens when said
leech never stops to examine her
own character but remains smug-
ly self-satisfied and self-centered?
Can she be ignored?

What have we here but the old
issue of the dual responsibility of
our Honor System which we did
manage to stifle earlier in the year
with our glowing interpretation of
the truly more worthy "self -up-
rooting" approach.

Realistic Idealism

However, let me be the first to
say that it is now time to add
realism to our former idealism.

When you believe in something,
you cannot stand by and let it be
destroyed; obviously those who

harbor their own convenient con-
ceptions of "honor," with no re-
spect for any former agreements,
do degrade the Honor System.

It seems that our earlier inter-
pretation (which I will always be-
lieve to be best) led some people
to believe that students in this
school could tolerate lying and hy-
pocrisy under our Honor System
by offenders who absolutely refuse
to be responsible for their actions.
Calling A Spade
If this is the present thinking,
then a grave error has been made.

Every effort is made to allow an
individual to exercise her own in-
tegrity; but if this fails, then a
spade must be called a spade and
rightfully so.

Furthermore, the calling of
spades is the responsibility of
every student who enjoys the privi-
leges of the Honor System, or else
let's just not waste time fooling
ourselves in thinking that the
"whole" can be worthwhile when
the "parts" are not.

If something is worth having,
then it's worth fighting for. But if
this is asking too much, then we
should call it a joke and all laugh
together.

Smith Exchange

In trying to gather campus opinion on the proposed Smith-
Scott exchange, we were amazed that there were no opinions.
And why? Because some had only heard vague rumors and
no facts, and others had not heard anything.

Let it be clearly understood that we re-
spect the policy of secrecy which envelops
all judicial action on campus. However, we
deplore the debate of campus policy innova-
tion behind closed doors.

A senior recently returned from a week-
end at an Eastern college where she came
into contact with several Smith students.
When they discovered that she was from
Scott, they began enthusiastically talking
to her about the excitement on their campus over the pro-
posed exchange.

They were dismayed when she, a typical student body
member at Scott, had heard nothing about the plan.

From the bits and pieces of information which we obtained,
the plan is as follows: beginning this spring quarter, Smith
College in Northampton, Mass., and Agnes Scott will send
five students for a week's stay on the other campus. Two of
the basic criteria for selection of students here will be an
academic average within the "B" range or better and a sin-
cere willingness to participate in the program.

Moreover, the plan for exchange this Spring is projected
to provide for an exchange for the duration of a fall term
in the near future.
For other details we refer you to the student committee
which has studied this proposal for some months now or the
administration which has yet to approve it.

We understand that this program has met with opposition.
Some question the value of such an expensive undertaking;
others remind us of the possibility that an integrated situa-
tion might evolve.

We feel that the expense of such an undertaking, financed
eUher individually or partially by student government,
would be heavily offset by the valuable contact of stu-
dents from different environments within a normal
campus schedule.
However, we feel that most of the gains to be derived from
this program would be intangible. It is true that the absorp-
tion of sectional and institutional attitudes would be a per-
sonal matter. Those in exchange could not hope to share all
their many experiences and opinions with the entire student
body.

Yet through reports and daily conversation, we feel that
great strides would be taken toward the mutual understand-
ing of individualistic yet sister institutions.

The second argument is ineffectual. In the first place, it
is extremely unlikely that a responsible institution of
Smith's caliber, which is undoubtedly aware of our present
indecision over integration, would force the question by
sending a Negro student.

Yet, some point out that Morehouse College in Atlanta is
also planning an exchange with Smith. It is just as incon-
ceivable that some should suddenly be disturbed about group
interchange of ideas between Morehouse and Agnes Scott
since we have mutually benefited from countless cultural
associations in the past.

Finally, how can we sincerely argue that we are hesitating
about integration for tax reasons if we cannot allow, should
the situation occur, a Negro exchange student on our campus?
We a ppeal to those who are considering the case to dis-
cuss their reservations publicly that we may understand
why such an inherently worthwhile proposal should not
reach fruition. L.S.F.

Student Endorses
Ar i sto teli an Mean

By CAROLINE HUGHES

The depths of winter quarter is an appropriate time to
discuss the relationship between academics and extracurricu-
lar activities, for right about now two unhealthy extremes
will begin to manifest themselves.

As in every other phase of life,

the principle of tho Golden Mean
is applicable.

The girl who
buries herself in
her books, having
no time for re-
laxation, for par-
ticipation, for
giving of herself
to her friends and
her school is a
most foolish and
se it-centered individual.

Grades do not often improve
>ubstnntially with this ostrich-like
behavior. The student becomes so
stuffed that her mind is unable
to function effectively and crea-

t ively.

The opportunities for growth
through personal relations that
such a girl has lost forever are
many. She can become an ingrown
and a very small person.

Selfish Times

On the other hand, these four
years spent in college are right-
fully selfish times. They may be
the only years of concentrated
study and of conscious preparation
that a woman has for her unique
end influential position in the world
of today and of tomorrow.

It is right then that this time be
spent in diligent work in reading.

Roving

Reporter

By LYN HORN

Once again your roving reporter
has been gathering campus opin-
ions. This week a very contro-
versial subject is being appraised:
the possible integration of Agnes
Scott.

All those interviewed agreed
ihat such a subject cannot be
sammed up in two or three sen-
tences, so the views presented here
are only partial ones.

Mary Hamp Lowry: "Practically
speaking, the acceptance of a Ne-
gro student at Agnes Scott would
not be worth the economic chaos
which would result. We face the
possibility of losing the support
of some of our important Southern
backers. But, theoretically sneak
ing, I have nothing against the
admittance of a Negro student."

Voter Views Secret
'Soapbox' Elections

Silence. Elections are close
obey the following rules:

(1) They must not be caught in
the mailroom looking at their pic-
ture with the lists of their nomina-
tions under it.
(2) They must be
more gloriously
humble and smile
subtly. (3) They
must pretend
that life goes on
as usual and
above all show no
newly acquired
energy.

(4) They must be friendly, but
not overly friendly, so as not to call
attention to themselves. (5) The
zenith of all rules is that they must
be silent, keep their mouths closed,
lower their eye lids, creep, but
creep softly.

Blind, Deaf and Dumb

Now really the above sounds
ridiculous. This is the way it is,
friends. Elections are blind, deaf
and dumb meaning ridiculous.

I would actually like to see some
noble soul stand up on a soapbox
and scream out, "I am running for
office, and I strongly want this
office. Here are my qualifications."

The response of the student body
would be: "Mercy, who does she
think she is she must really think
that she's something." If someone
wants an office, feels that she is
capable of holding this office, then
this person has the right to stand
up and speak for herself.

Soapbox?

Since we have come to the con-
clusion that the candidate has the
right to speak, then we must think
of a more sophisticated loudspeak-
er than the soapbox.

The Neics is willing to print the
candidates qualifications and a
statement of their ideas. There
seems to be some sort of red tape
which will not allow the Ag>ies
Scott News to do so.

Either through student apathy
or fear of change, no one seems
interested in improving the election
system or, perhaps no one cares.

If the candidiate feels that she
cannot speak out Let's at least
hear a few murmurs.

of this skillful portrayal of one of
Broadway's top musicals.

"Justice"

Conyers, Georgia recently witnessed a trial in which every
humanitarian provision of the legal system was ignored.
From the opening minutes of her trial until her sentence,
Dorothy Sue Bradford was subjected to every miscarriage
^ us ^ ce J ; ^ a J : .. the court could mete out to her.

Dorothy testified that she has been
threatened by Richard Byrd and made to
follow him in his murder of two of her for-
mer boy friends. Sole evidence against her
rested in the testimony of a youth whom
Byrd only wounded. The boy was under deep
shock at the time and in court admitted his
own delirium.

The boy could remember only scattered
phrases which seemed to point to Dorothy's
gunt. certainly there was more than "reasonable doubt"
as to the complete accuracy of his statement. But neither
the jury nor the judge saw the doubt.

Further than the legal principles involved, Dorothy herself
was a living testimony to her own innocence if indeed our
society still holds to the idea of innocence through reason of
mental incompetence.

Two psychiatrists testified that Dorothy has an I.Q. of 60.
This figure places her within the definition of "moron." When
asked her lawyer's name, she could not remember.

Dorothy's sister-in-law testified that she had always had
an unnatural fear of being alone, so much so that she could
not go into a bathroom unattended.

Dorothy asked the prosecuting attorney to define the word
"violent" for her. Her psychiatrist further stated that in their
conferences she quite clearly did not understand the full
significance and gravity of the charges against her.

Her age she is only 14 was seemingly irrelevant. Even
her lawyer did not play upon the fact that she was so young.
Yet the deepest tragedy which Dorothy will face is her
imprisonment. It is disheartening to her on NBC's weekend
show Monitor that the Georgia prisons for persons under
18 are notoriously bad, and that some of the inmates are
under 10 years of age.

There is little chance for Dorothy's rehabilitation. In the
"sub-standard" prison to which she has been committed there
will be no one who cares for her as a person or as a useful
citizen at a future date.

As long as there are youths on trial for their lives, as long
as there are grave miscarriages of justice and as long as the
penal system is failing in its efforts at rehabilitation, there
is a need for citiens to protest against the injustices. C.W.

Josephine Bridgman has been
doing research on the effects of
radiation on protozoa over a peri-
od of years, and has an article in
print from her studies in the sci-
ence journal Radiation Research.

Her article is a product of inde-
pendent research and work done
with Charlotte King in 1960 on
an independent study project on
the recovery of Tillina Magna
from radiation damage.

Mrs. Netta Gray, also in the
arec. of biology, has done much in
scientific research. Her special
field in the study of the genus
Podocarpus, which is a large group
of trees and shrubs of the southern
hemisphere.

World Authority

Last summer she completed
work on a paper that was pub-
lished in the January, 1962 issue
of the Journal of the Arnold
Arbor rum.

This article is the thirteenth one
in a series she has done on Podo-
carpus; the one previous to this
one was presented as a report at
the ninth International Botannical
Congress at Montreal, Canada.

For the last two months she has
been working on two specimens of
new species from Venezuela and
Brazil.

From the chemistry department,
Dr. W. Joseph Frierson reports
work on spectrophotometry de-
termination of metallic ions. He
has also undertaken work on
chromatographic separation of
metallic ions.

This year he has had two pub-
lications in the Journal of Ana-
lytical Chemistry involving spec-
trophotometry determination of
cobalt and nickel.

He expects to do work with
radio isotopes when the equip-
ment is set up in the science build-
ing.

In the English department, Dr.
Margaret Trotter has done critical
and creative work in literature.
Her critical work includes several
book reviews done for the Atlanta
Journal-Constitution, and help in
editing her monthly Episcopal

parish news letter, Audite Haec.

Creatively, she has written some
fiction which has been published.
Creative Works
Dr. Margaret Pepperdene has
done research on the Beowulf
period and her articles "Modes of
Characterization in Beowulf" will
soon appear in print.

Miss Janef Newman Preston of
the English department has done
much work in the area of verse
and has had many publications of
her poetry. She has had work pub-
lished in the New York Herald-
Tribune, American Weave, the
Poetry Review of England, and
Quicksilver. Her contribution to
the last magazine won the Donor
Prize.

She has also been the recipient
of the poetry prize awarded by the
Poetry Society of Georgia.

Publications in Criticism

Dr. Ellen Douglass Leyburn
spent last summer doing two criti-
cal articles on literature soon to
be published. The first of these is
a comparative study of Samuel
Johnson's Rasselas and Albert
Camus' The Plague as allegory.
The second is a study of Robert
Frost's Masque of Reason which
will be published in Modern
Drama.

Assistant professor of economics
Charles Martin has been doing re-
search for his doctoral disserta-
tion. He has also had an article
published in the Alumnae Quarter-
ly on "The Basic Conflict Between
Christ and Capitalism."

Dr. Paul L. Garber of the Bible
department has done a series of
articles dealing with the scholarly
presentation of the reconstruction
of his model of Solomon's temple,
making comparisons between it
and other reconstructions. These
articles have appeared in the
Journal of Biblical Literature and
The Biblical Archaeologist.

The work he has done on the
temple has proved to be one of the
major areas of his research, and
information of his findings have
been made accessible to the gen-
eral public through films and "pub-
lications.

Swimming Meet At Tift
Highlights A A Calendar

By ELEANOR LEE

What's new! What's exciting! Would anything dare possess
either of these two qualities in the middle of winter quarter
three weeks before exams? Yes.

Something new an intercolle

new an

giate swimming meet is being held
at Tift College in Rome, Ga. on
Saturday, Feb-
ruary 24th! Some-
thing new
Agnes Scott will
participate in
this competition
against other
Georgia college
swimming teams.
This is the first
time (at least since I have ventured
onto this campus) that Agnes Scott
has gotten out of its isolated nitch
of class competition and tried its
skill (all classes combined) against
other colleges.

This event ought to prove both
exciting and beneficial in that we
will both enjoy it and learn by
it. Whether we win or lose,
by going we will prove that
we aren't such cowards that we
have to remain on our campus,
playing on our respective class
teams, and being fairly confident
about our rating.

The team has not been definitely
chosen. However, here are some of
the people who are trying out. For
racing and diving are Dottie Bel-
linger, Marianna Guion, Mickie
Molyneaux, Joan Hunter and Jean
Randolph; for form are Eleanor
Lee and Ethel Gilmour. If you
would be interested, please come to
practice during the 4-5 pjn. free
swim periods this week at the
gym.

There will be a high diving and
low diving event. In racing the
competition will be in 25 yd. races
in front crawl, back crawl, breast
stroke, butterfly and a medley re-
lay. The form events will be in
front crawl, back crawl, breast
stroke and side stroke.

If you wish to participate or
"spectate," please let Miss Kay
Manuel know. Even in winter quar-
ter life can be exciting!

Development Funds
Approach '64 Goal

With two years to go on the 75th
Anniversary Development Cam-
paign, Agnes Scott has about one
and a quarter million dollars yet
to raise.

The eleven-year effort has a goal
of ten and a half million dollars,
which must be gained by Jan. 26,
1964, if a half million dollar chal-
lenge gift is to be claimed from an
anonymous donor.

As of Jan. 25 of this year. $9,-
207,149.32 has been received in
cash and pledges. This leaves $1,-
292,850.68 to be added in the next
two years.

Four more area campaigns are

raise the money. President Alston
Dr. McNair and President Emeri-
tus McCain have just returned
from another series of four dinners
this week.

Efforts will also be made to ob-
tain donations from foundations
and supporters who could not con-
tribute when first approached.

Dr. McNair. who heads the over-
all campaign said, "We are en-
couraged by the progress made
thus far, but are realistic enough
to recognize that there are pro-
blems ahead. However, we fully
expect to reach our goal by the
challenge date."

favor of it because it violates my
principal beliefs on the subject. I
would not like to see Agnes Scott
involved in a racial case. If a Ne-
gro is admitted, our endowment
funds would drop off because our
present endowment comes from
the Southern conservative ele-
ment/'

Betty Jean Harper: "If a board-
er were admitted she's be out of
place and lonely, but if a Negro
wants an education here as a day
student, there is nothing wrong
with that."

Sandy Still: "It's unfortunate
that we are forced to face this
question at this particular time
for various reasons: first, our fund
drive might be affected and second,
the families of our present stu-
dents may not understand the
situation. In a way it's fortunate,
however, that we as citizens are
forced to crystalize our thinking
on this issue in relation to higher
education."

Ina Jones: "It's difficult to be
for or against because there are
so many factors involved. If we
did reject a qualified Negro appli-
cant, then the school would not be
living within the boundaries of its
beliefs and policies namely, our
support to other schools challenged
with integration and our affilia-
tion with the Presbyterian Church
which has spoken out against
racial discrimination."

Pam Elliot and Carolyn Frazier prepare to try out for the team
which will represent Agnes Scott at the Intercollegiate Swimming
meet at Tift.

Philosophy Majors
Attend Conference

Three ASC students were among
about fifty who participated in a
Philosophy Colloquium at the Uni-
versity of Chattanooga Saturday
and Sunday.

Presenting a paper on the phil-
osophy of Alfred North Whitehead
as part of the meeting was A.S.C.
Senior Sylvia Pruitt. Also attending
the annual event were Ann Penne-
baker, Peggy McGeachy and Bar-
bara Brown, philosophy majors.

Taking part in the discussions
of Whitehead were students from
Emory, Davidson, University of
the South and the host college, Uni-
versity of Chattanooga.

The 1961 Colloquium was held at
Agnes Scott with the discussion
centering on the Marx Theory.

Players To Present 'Richard III

Exec Announces Plans
For Smith-Scott Trade

By NANCY LEE

After nearly a year of extensive planning, the Executive
Committee of Studenit Government has released its projected
plans for a student exchange program between Agnes Scott
and Smith College in Northampton, Mass.

The idea for such a program was '
initiated in May, 1961, by the
Student Government at Smith in a
letter to Student Government
President Vicki Allen.

Spellman Negro College in At-
lanta was also invited to partici-
pate in the exchange.

According to completed plans,
five students of sophomore, junior
or senior rating, who have a cumu-
lative average of 1.75, will travel
to Smith by plane April 8 and re-
turn to Scott, April 15. Simul-
taneously, five Smith students will
spend a week on our campus.

Campus Activities

These selected students will stay
in the dormitories, attend classes
in their field (or in subjects of
special interest to them) and lead
as nearly an average life of a reg-
ular student as is possible.

In addition, they will be official-
ly available to the college com-
munity through chapel programs
and hub discussions.

Selection of students to partici-
pate will be made by the Executive
committee, who will screen and
rate the written applications, and
by an administrative committee
composed of Dr. Alston, Dr. Kline
and Miss Scandrett, who will help
make the final choice.

Application Questions

Questions on the application
blank are designed to gather in-
formation of applicants' past ex-
perience which might be relevant
in preparation for participation in
the exchange.

The questions also explore the
applicant's depth of interest in the
program and apparent readiness
for participation.

Applications may be obtained at
the hostess's desk in Buttrick and
must be turned in by 12 noon,
March 3, to Box 93. An announce-
ment of the five students selected
will be made before the close of
winter quarter.

Program Goals

According to Exec member Anne
Foster, the aims of the exchange
are to effect a better understand-
ing between two liberal arts women
colleges in the North and South;
and through individual learning to
invoke a corporate knowledge of
numerous ideas and attitudes on
specific issues facing various sec-
tions of the country today and on
academic, intellectual and social
fields.

In concluding, Anne stated : "The
executive Committee hopes that
many students will show interest
and enthusiasm in the exchange,
which we feel will be a rewarding
and exciting experience."

Pi Alpha Phi Accepts
New Debate Members

Pi Alpha Phi has accepted seven
new members. At the club's last
meeting, try-outs were held in the
form of five minute speeches made
by each person.

Subjects of the speeches were:
"Should open campaigns be held
at Agnes Scott?" Should Agnes
Scott be integrated?" Should
something else take the place of
Agnes Scott dances?" and "Is it
better to be Red than dead?"

The new members of Pi Alpha
Phi include Kathryn Mobley, Judy
Hawley, Tina Doherty, Betty
Brown, Jean Hoefer, Karen More-
land and Missy White.

President
Procedure

nominating committee,
composed of seniors who are presi-
dents and vice presidents or hold
other top offices in publications
and organizations on campus have
been compiling the list of nomina-
tions since the beginning of win-
ter quarter.

After the list of popular nomi-
nations is completed, the entire
list with individual pictures of
candidates will be posted in the
mailroom.

The Agnes Scott News plans to
run a special edition composed of
the qualifications and pictures of
candidates for each office on Fri-
day, March 30.

Election Innovations

Innovations have been made in
the manner of elections this year,
according to the Student Body
President.

Incumbents in each office will
be asked to discuss the duties of
that office with each nominee so
that the candidates will better
understand exactly what the re-
sponsibilities are.

Vicky stated that anyone who
feels that she cannot accept the
position for which she is nomi-
nated should see her in order to
scratch.

Election Tension

In an attempt to ease the at-
mosphere which she feels prevails
throughout election time, Vicki

Actors Will Perform Thursday Night;
John Starrs To Portray Tragic Hero

By NINA GRIFFIN

Shakespeare's Richard III will be performed by the Players of Washington, D. C. in
Gaines Chapel tomorrow evening at 8 p.m. The Players Company, an outgrowth of the
Speech and Drama Department of Catholic University of America, is in its thirteenth
season.

The troupe, organized in 1949,
annually tours the United States
from September to May and has
made eight overseas trips.

The youthful group has the dis-
tinction of being the longest-run-
ning national classical repertory
company in America in the 20th
century.

John Starrs, a newcomer to the
Players, appears in the role of
Richard III. Mr. Starrs, a native
of Chicago, is an alumnus of
Loyola University in Chicago.
Leading Role
He has appeared prominently in
productions of Hamlet, The Tam-
ing of the Shrew, Romeo and
Juliet, Othello and other Shake-
spearean plays. Last summer he
won critical acclaim in classical
repertory at the Cincinnati Shake-
speare Festival.

Carol Enshoff, also a native of
Chicago and a graduate of Denison
University, plays mad Margaret,
Richard's aunt.

Susan Walker, a former Cherry
Blossom Princess from McLean,
Virginia, appears as the tragic Lady
Anne.

Miss Walker was trained at the
University of Miami and with the
Barter Theatre of Virginia before
joining the Players last spring.

Allen Presents
For Elections

Student elections will be held Monday through Friday, April 2-6, according to Student
Body President Vicki Allen. Popular nominations will be held in chapel March 8 with the
list of both nominating committee and popular nominations being posted Monday, March
26.

The nominating committee, encourages students to question

all the candidates thoroughly be-
fore voting,

The voting, as usual, will take
place in daily chapel with Mortar
Board conducting the proceedings.
If the by-laws are accepted in
Student Meeting tomorrow, the
order of elections will be changed.

The preferential system, in
which each student votes for
three nominees, will not be used.
The majority rule, if the by-laws
ar<* accepted, will probably neces-
sitate more run-offs than have
previously been needed.

Election Entertainment

Some type of entertainment is
being planned for students during
the lull in elections during the
chapels.

In discussing the election, Vicki
pleads for student participation
in every phase of the proceedings.

Board States Admission Policy;
School Removes Race Barrier

By SUSAN KEITH-LUCAS

"Applicants deemed best qualified . . . will be admitted
without regard to their race, color, or creed," stated the Board
of Trustees of Agnes Scott.

now in the hands of the admini-
stration. This, he said, is in line
w^'th the board's usual activities
as a maker of policy. No student
wiU ever be accepted because she
is a Negro: she must also be fully
qualified.

The board, he continued, did not
concern itself with the technical
and legal aspects involved. Instead
it worked only for a statement of
what it felt is right.

Administration to Time
Problems such as the Georgia
state law concerning tax-exemp-
tion are yet to be overcome.
Timing must also be left up to the
administration.

President Alston particularly
stressed Agnes Scott's relation-
ship with Emory University in this
decision. Emory has refused to
integrate because of the risk of
losing its tax-exempt status.

Dr. Alston made it clear that
the Trustees' decision was not
made in opposition to this stand,
but rather with the feeling that
(Continued on Page 4)

At the annual meeting of the
Trustees last Thursday, the Board
clarified its stand on the admis-
sion of Negro students to Agnes
Scott with the "overwhelming"
acceptance of this resolution.

In chapel Friday morning, Pres-
ident Alston interpreted this
statement to the student body.
He explained particularly that, be-
cause 60 students have already
been accepted under the Early De-
cision plan and other applications
are almost complete, no Negro
student will be accepted for the
session which begins this fall.

When the policy does go into
effect for the 1963-64 session,
"every effort will be made to ad-
minister it conservatively and
fairly."

1963 Policy

When asked whether the de-
cision means that Agnes Scott
definitely will accept a Negro stu-
dent in 1963, Dr. Alston clarified
the school's present position. The
board's decision is one of policy;
implementation of the policy is

Victorian Hangover?

This is the grand era of elasticity . . . Divorce rates climb
steadily higher . . . the newspapers cough up their contents
and the headlines read "Charles VanDoren exposed in quiz
program fraud" . . . "Goldiine indicted for income tax
evasion" . . .

Pornographic magazines flood the news-
stands . . . risque films are sell-outs . . .
racial discrimination is rampant . . . there is
industrial conflict . . . "dirty politics" . . . the
worship of the almighty dollar . . . Broad-
way features "How to be a Success in Busi-
ness Without Really Trying" . . .

This is the grand era of laxity and
passivity on the Agnes Scott campus. Re-
cent judicial proceedings and decisions have
made us re-evaluate the concept of dignity and individual
self-respect or the lack of them.

For ultimately the question boils down to this thing called
personal integrity the rules which form an integral part
of this honor system and the double clause in our honor code
are but manifestations of it. Ultimately honesty is not a
matter of convenience.

Avowed exponents of such integrity and honesty in our
world today and on our campus are labeled "idealistic," "un-
realistic" and "a little bit out of touch with 20th century
America."

Someone has said that men have discovered the almost
Tightness of a great deal that is wrong and the almost
wrongness of a great deal that is right. Black and white
blends into dull gray.

This is no Victorian hangover nor musty morality.

The nightfall of American "civilization" is coming in the
form of disintegration from within. The clouds are darken-
ing over the sky at Agnes Scott. N.B.

United We Stood

In his speech congratulating Lt. Col. John Glenn on his successful
orbital flight Vice-president Johnson said in effect, "Four years ago
President Eisenhower asked for cooperation between the U.S.S.R. and
the United States in the exploration of space.

"In his last state of the union address President
Kennedy again asked for east-west cooperation in
space exploration. But only after your orbital
flight did Premier Khrushchev send a letter to
President Kennedy asking for cooperation between
the United States and Russia in the effort to con-
quer space.

"It seems, Col. Glenn, that you have done what
two presidents could not do."

Just how sincere Khrushchev's pledge of co-
iains to be seen. But in a deeper sense than he per-
haps intended, Vice-president Johnson spoke the truth.

Two presidents have been unable to bring about what John Glenn
evoked in less than five hours. For the first time in many years 185
million Americans forgot their personal dissatisfactions and their
own little, egos.

185 million people united for four hours in one great We.
In New York City, a railroad station crowded with commuters was
on Monday afternoon, February 19, the scene of near "mass hysteria"
as each individual fought, clawed and pushed himself onto trains and
into the few remaining seats.

Courtesy was a forgotten word all that mattered was getting that
precious seat, even if it meant that the weary woman ahead had to
stand up all the way home.

On Tuesday morning, February 20, that same station was filled
with the same commuters. But they moved slowly, almost rever-
ently, from the train.

Men who had previously given up their places to other passengers
now paused to let them out first, and the hush was broken only by
the voice of a commentator from Cape Canaveral that spoke from
hundreds of transistor radios.

Comparable scenes were being enacted all over the nation on the
morning of February 20.

During the hours between John Glenn's launch into space and his

recovery in the Atlantic Ocean, we were unable to do little more

than pray, each in our own way, for that one man and that for

which he was risking his life.

Most of us could not express what we felt when the countdown
reached zero. We did not need to because we could see that everyone
understood we all felt the same thing.

We understood, too, the fear that we shared during that long
morning. Only after it was all over did we realize that we had been
in fear for our country and our way of life as it was represented in
that solitary man guiding himself through the unknown.
And our super-sophisticated, ultra-modern, chicly bored minds were
not ashamed of our fear.

In the last terrifying minutes before we knew he had returned
safely, the United States was perhaps the strongest it has ever been.
For we were united in mind, in spirit cjid in commitment; and no
army on earth could have been successful against that kind of defense.

Then the news came that Col. Glenn was back and it was the
Fourth of July and Christmas Eve and V-J Day all in one. And no-
body shuddered with distaste if we happened to use the word
"patriotism."

Yes, John Glenn did what no president could do. But that was
a week ago.

We have dissolved again into 185 million petty egos.

It is pathetic that a man has to go into space to make us lose our-
selves in love for our country. The transience of that love is even
more pathetic. M.W.

Internationally Speaking

Glenn's Orbital Flight Produces
Extensive International Impact

By DORIS SANDERS

On February 20, 1962, Marine Lt. Col. John H. Glenn, Jr.
became the first American to orbit the earth. At 9:47 a.m.,
after ten postponements, the 93 foot rocket and spaceship
blasted off from Pad 14 at Cape Canaveral.

One hundred miles out of the
earth's atmosphere, the astronaut
began an orbital flight traveling
17,500 miles per
hour at an alti-
tude of 100 to 150
miles. In four
hours and 56
minutes, Colonel
Glenn circled the
earth three
times.
The space
flight has provoked various repre-
cussions and developments which
have more permanent impact on
the international scene than the
excitement of the moment

First, Glenn's orbital flight is a
milestone in man's conquest of
space. Sometime within the next
five years, scientists expect to place
a man on the moon.

Future Plans

Plans are being made for the
exploration of other planets such
as Mars and Venus.

Other Mercury orbital flights
will be followed by a new space-
craft designed to carry two men in
orbit with a more powerful booster
than the Atlas. The giant of them
all, the Apollo-Saturn combination
designed to carry three man direct-
ly to the moon is still on the draft-
ing board.

Certainly the Glenn flight has in-
augurated a new era in American
space exploration, and one which
promises a vast and impressive
future.

Khurschev's Reaction

The success of the orbital flight
provoked an interesting letter from
Khruschev to Kennedy. The Rus-
sian Premier suggested pleasantly
a joint Russian-American effort to
conquer space.

This unique overture was pre-
ceded by similiar ones from the
United States in years past. The
question remains whether Khrus-
chev's remarks were merely con-
gratulatory or represented a gen-
uine change in the Soviet view-
point.

On the international scene, there
was almost universal acclaim for
John Glenn. Numerous world lead-
ers sent messages of congratula-
tions to the United States.

Komsonolskaya Pravda, the
Russian youth newspaper with a
circulation of 3 million, gave the
flight the biggest coverage.
Intestinal Fortitude

When we view the immediate and
expected consequences of the Glenn
flight, our thoughts turn inward
and we are struck with the na-
tional feeling aroused by the event
itself.

Pat-' * ism is difficult to express

in fresh terms which will not sound
trite and sentimental.

We do not wish to express the
familiar and sometimes hollow
cliches which revere God, country,
motherhood, boy scouts and peanut
butter, those eternal American
institutions which will be the heri-
tage of posterity.

What we do wish to revere is
that found lacking in modern
Americans "guts."
God bless your guts, John

Glenn!

Limeliters To Arrive Here
For Two Shows At Tower

By LYNNE LAMBERT

Only thirty more days until April Fool's Day, which brings
with it the arrival of the renowned Limeliters on the At-
lanta scene. This unique singing group will give afternoon
and evening performances at the Tower Theatre on Sunday,
April 1.

spokesman for the group, is
unique in show business as the
only leader of a vocal trio and
stand-up comic on record who has
been awarded a Ph.D.

Typical of the "new frontier"
in music and show business, he re-
ceived his degree from the Uni-
versity of California with a thesis
composed of an edition of twenty-
one hitherto unpublished cyclic
masses of the 15th century.
Folk Music Authority
In addition to being a musi-
cologist and authority on folk mu-
sic, Gottlieb is associate editor of
"Jazz A Quarterly of American
Music."

Alex has been described as
possessing the versatility of Theo-
dore Bikel and Peter Ustinov. Born
in France of Russian parents, this
virtuoso speaks, writes, and sings
in over half a dozen languages.

He attended Harvard for one
year and was graduated from the
University of Chicago where he
did research on folk music.
Major Soloist
Rounding out the versatility of
the group, Glenn pursued Classi-
cal Greek and Philosophy at St.
John's College and Mexico City
College. He is the major soloist
for the trio and is described as
having the most deceptive alppear-
(Continued on Page 3)

Rare in the annals of show busi-
ness, this group
is comprised of
three performers
whose combina-
tion of brains,
talent and per-
son al ity has
rocketed them to
stardom across
the country.
Before joining forces, Lou Gott-
lieb, Alex Hassilev, and Glenn Yar-
borough had their own individual
supper club acts. Glenn was a
singer at the "Limelite" (from
whence came the name of the
trio) in Aspen, Colo., and eventual-
ly called in Alex as a partner.

Formerly an off-Broadway ac-
tor, Alex soon left to try his act-
ting skill in Hollywood. To pay his
expenses, he opened a single sing-
ing act in Cosmo Alley where he
was later joined by Glenn.
Overnight Success
It was here in 1959 that Gott-
lieb came into the picture. An
original member of the Gateway
Singers, he had also written sev-
eral hit arrangements for the
Kingston Trio. Gottlieb organized
the Limeliters, and they opened
at the Hungry I three days after
closing the duo act at the Cosmo,
becoming an overnight success.

Student Forum Thursday To Cover
Questions Of Election Order, Voting

By KAY ROBERTSON

The ma/tters for consideration in tomorrow's Student Forum should prove very signifi-

concert with the Agnes Scott Choral group.

V. M. I. Chorus Joins
Glee Club In Concert

By LAURA HAWES

The Virginia Military Institute Glee Club, sixty-five
voices strong, will sing alone and in concert with the Agnes
Scott Glee Clulb Saturday night in Gaines Auditorium at 8
p.m. The program, free to Scott faculty and students, will in-
clude folk and classical music by each group separately and
a joint work, Scarlatti's "Exultate Deo."

This is the V.M.I. Glee Club's
first appearance in Atlanta. The
group, now under the direction of
Captain J. C. Pearce, is one of the
finest choruses in the South.

It has appeared several times
before the President, was featured
in the picture "Mardi Gras," and
in 1960 released a long-playing re-
cord.

On the first tour in its history,
the Agnes Scott Glee Club will
give a return concert with V.M.I, in
Lexington, Virginia. This program
will be presented at 8 p.m. on
Sunday, March 18.

The next night the A.S.C. Glee
Club will sing at Davidson College,
in concert with the Davidson Glee
Club. The recital there will be at
8:15, in the Cunningham Fine Arts
Building.

Any of our student body who
are able to attend either of these
concerts will be welcome.

The members of the Glee Club,
while on tour, will stay in the
homes of alumnae in Charlotte and
Lexington, and in the Davidson
guest house.

Alumna Offers Award;
Encourages Creativity

Mrs. Ernest L. Jackson, an
alumna of Agnes Scott College,
has established a new award for
fiction because of her desire to
stimulate creative writing on
campus, with the special aim of
enriching life after graduation.

Mrs. Jackson, whose own work
has appeared in national maga-
zines, will present a book prize
for the best short story entered
in the competition.

Short stories submitted for the
Maud Foster Jackson Fiction
Award will be judged on imagina-
tive appeal, freshness of style, and
commercial possibilities. Details
of the competition will be an-
nounced later in the quarter.

The deadline for entries will be
in early spring. The winning story
will be printed in the spring
Aurora.

In addition to setting up this
new award, Mrs. Jackson has
demonstrated her interest in
campus writing by a gift of sev-
eral books to the Agnes Scott Li-
brary. These include Characters
Make Your Story, Creative Fic
tion Writing, and How to Write
a Story and Sell It.

The first proposal concerns the
order of elections. As in the past,
the first offices to be voted on
would be the President of the Stu-
dent Body, the Judicial Chairman
and the Presidents of C.A., A. A.
and Social Council, respectively.

In order, the next officers to
be elected would be the Editor of
the "News," the Vice-Presidents
of the three boards, the Editors
of "Silhouette" and "Aurora" and
the five senior judicial repre-
sentatives.

After those positions have been
filled, the balloting would move
to the Orientation and Day Stu-
dent Chairman, and the House
Presidents of Walters, Main, In-
man, Rebekah and Hopkins, re-
spectively.

Junior Elections

The senior elections would be
completed by the selecting of the
Managing Editors of the "News"
and the "Silhouette" and the

Chairman and Vice-Chairman of
the Lecture Committee.

The Junior elections would pro-
ceed as follows: Joint House Coun-
cil Chairman, Student Recorder,
the Treasurer and the Secretary
of Student Government, the Sec-
retaries and Treasurers of C.A.,
A.A. and Social Council, respec-
tively; the four judicial repre-
sentatives and the Treasurer of
the Lecture Committee.

The second matter for consid-
eration in Student Forum will be
the proposal to abolish the
"Preferential System" of voting.
The alternative will be the "Ma-
jority System," in which a 51%
support vote is required.

Vicky Allen explained that,
whereas the "Preferential System"
was adopted in an effort to pre-
vent ties, it actually results in a
closer vote. "Sometimes people
have won an election with only
second and third place votes," she
stated.

Discussion Topics

A disadvantage would be the
possibility that no one candidate
would secure the majority support
and a run-off would be necessary.

Third on the agenda will be a
discussion as to how a publication
changes its name and how an or-
ganization is either established
or suspended. These situations
have never been spelled out in the
constitution, and it is felt that a
guide is needed.

Several alterations have al-
ready been attached to the
newly formed constitution and
are as follows:

1. The Orientation Chairman
and the Managing Editors of the
publications will be members of
tnp Nominating Committee.

2. The president of Mortar
Board will act as an advisory

member of Representative Coun-
cil.

3. Vital Statistics will be posted
one month before spring nomina-
tions.

4. Each class will continue to
elect their respective presidents,
even though all other officers on
Representative Council will be
elected by the Student Body.

5. The Judicial policy will allow
for one negative vote and one ab-
stention, or two abstentions, in a
ruling of suspension or expulsion.

6. There will be only one day
student represented on House
Council and the Council will elect
a treasurer at the beginning of
the year.

Basketball Season Closes
With Final Contest Friday

By MARY LOU LAIRD

Winter quarter, the monsoon season and the basketball
season are all quickly drawing to a close. Before we look
forward to the approaching volley ball and archery seasons,
it is appropriate that we survey this one.

There has been very little
spectator interest this year (pro-
bably due to the usual "slump").

As a matter of
fact, there has
been a deficiency
in the player de-
partment also.

We mention
this only in hopes
of encouraging
potential players
in the future.
One game remains to be played
on Friday. The freshmen and the
sophomores will then decide their
battle for first place. The junior
ar^ senior teams, due to a shortage
of players, will be forced to take
a back seat to their sister teams.

Regardless of our team prefer-
ences, let's all try to make time
this Friday afternoon at 4 or 5 p.m.
to show our teams that we do ap-
preciate their efforts whether they
win or not.

Swimmers Capture
First Place in Meet

The swimming meet at Tift Col-
lege in Forsyth e, Georgia, was
quite a success. Scott came in first
with a score of 83. Tift (65) was
second and Wesley an (36) was
third.

In the form events, Betsy Bain-
bridge tied for first place in the
side stroke. In the breast stroke,
Joan Hunter held first place.

Scott especially excelled in the
racing competition. Jeannie Ran-
dolph tied for first in the butter-
fly stroke and alone held first
place in the breast stroke race.
Micky Molyneaux won first place
in the 50 yard freestyle race.

Scott obtained 40 points by
winning the two relay events
freestyle relay and medlay relay.
Participating in the freestyle were
Betsy Bainbridge, Macey Brown,
Dottie Bellinger and Jean Hunter.
In the Medlay relay were Mari-
anna Guion, Jeannie Randolph,
Jean Hunter and Micky Moly-
neaux.

In the low diving event, Mari-
anna Guion came in first and Dot-
tie Bellinger came in for a close
second. Just by listing the first
places, anyone can see why Agnes
Scott won. Congratulations, team!

Forrest To Present
Concert On Sunday

Patti Forrest, a member of the
Agnes Scott dean's staff, will per-
form in a piano recital at 3:30 p.m
on March 4. The program of the
recital is posted in the mailroom.

Patti graduated from Agnes
Scott in 1959. She was a music
major here and studied under Mrs
Irene Leftwich Harris. This year
she is again studying under Mrs.
Harris.

The year after she graduated
from college, Patti taught French
in Richmond, Virginia. While she
was there, she studied piano with
a member of the University of
Richmond staff.

Last year, she went to Geneva,
Switzerland and studied at the
Geneva Conservatory. She took
three courses besides piano. They
were harmony, transposition and
solfege.

All of the classes at the Conser-
vatory were taught in French.
Patti said that she had to learn all
the music terms in French and had
to study in French.

The classes were similar to
seminars. Only three people were
in each class and classes met only
once or twice a week for a long
period. There was much individual
attention.

Patti found that people are more
specialized in Europe. She says
that "they often go to the Con-
servatory in their early teens and
study only music, so they have a
much better music background
than we do."

She plans to continue studying
piano and to earn a Master's De-
gree. Then she would like to teach
music.

earliest plays, centers upon the rise
of Richard, Duke of Gloucester, to
the throne of England with all the
accompanying murder and con-
spiracy.

Tickets for the play, which are
free for all Agnes Scott students,
faculty and staff can be obtained
in the mail room. All other tickets
are $1.50. There are no reserved
seats.

Immediately following the per-
formance of the play there will be
a T-e^eption in Rebekah.

As background for the play Miss
Allen urges students to read
Richard III before its presentation.
Dr. Hayes' Shakespeare class is
reading it this week.

Admission Policy

(Continued from Page 1)

technical problems are not rele-
vant to the overall policy but be-
long to the carrying out of such
policy.

Continuation of Ideals

"With the guidance of God, with
the help of our board members
and with the understanding of the
student body, we can take this
step forward, which probably
should be considered not so much
a step forward as a continuation
of the beliefs and ideals of this
college," Dr. Alston concluded.

The Trustees' complete state-
ment says: "Applications for ad-
mission to Agnes Scott College
arc considered on evidence of the
applicant's character, academic
ability and interest, and readiness
for effective participation in the
life of our relatively small Chris-
tian college community that is
largely residential.

"Applicants deemed best quali-
fied on a consideration of a com-
bination of these factors will be
admitted without regard to their
race, color, or creed."

The board's meeting was moved
from May in order to discuss
policy in time to apply it to the
five Negro applications which had
been received by the college since
mid-December.

players as they prepare for their Friday games.

Distinguished Faculty Reveal
Similarly Distinguished Pets

Miss Gliek is often seen walking
two or three of her numerous
Cairn terriers at a time. The exact
number that she owns, however, is
"classified material." The terriers
are registered and shown even
though they were not bred as show
dogs.

With names like "Perky Fox
"Biggety Gal" (who fits her name
nicely) and "Jack" (whose ears
remind Miss Glick of a jackrabbit's-
whence the name), the pale brown
dogs are all descendants of Miss
Glick's original "Maggie."

Love of Animals
Miss Glick's interest in the dogs
comes from her love of animals
(I'd love to have a horse, but it's
a bit impractical in town), an in-
terest in genetics and also in
watching the dogs' personalities
develop in human company.

Mrs. Margaret Pepperdene's five
black poodles include an interna-
tional champion, "Black Angus,"
who was born on a cattle ranch in
Texas.

The miniature poodle has won
both American and Canadian
championships, while his sister has
points towards a Canadian title.
The "Pepperdene Poodles"
Mrs. Pepperdene also owns two
of their offspring and a toy poodle
just for fun. (A toy poodle is under
10 incles high, while a miniature
poodle is 11-15 inches with males
larger than females).

Feline Fanciers
Cats are also popular with
faculty members. Miss Allen has
a large (15 pound) cat named
'Black Kitty."

Black Kitty's distinguishing
feature is really a lack of it for
he has no tail. After being hit by a
car last summer, his tail was
amputated since he could no longer
control it.

Mr. Warren's cat is a taupe part-
Persian named "Stinky." Although
he has gained the reputation of be-
ing rather vicious, Mr. Warren

claims this is only because he plays
roughly. "You have to get to know
him first."

One of Stinky's favorite activities
is playing cat and mouse with Mr.
Warren, who sits in a closet and
pokes a piece of wire through a
hole to tease him.

Stinky is confined to the screen
porch of the Warren home because
of his tendency to fight with
squirrels and cars.

Blackfriars Presents
Comedy In 3 Acts

Blackfriars has begun work on
its spring quarter play, Ring
Around the Moon, a comedy in
three acts.

This play, written by Jean
Anouilh and adapted into English
by Christopher Fry, is a complete
contrast to the group's production
last fall of The House of Bernarda
Alba.

Filled with laughs and triangles
d'amour, the present production
promises to be one of the most
enjoyable plays that Blackfriars
has presented.

The male parts have been filled
with men from the Atlanta area.
One leading male character, how-
ever, is still in the process of being
cast. Carey Bowen, Sarah Hodges,
Marie Hayes, Marian Fortson, Lila
Sheffield and Nancy Yontz will be
seen in the female parts.

Rehearsals of Ring Around the
Moon started last Monday night.
As of now, Blackfriars plans to
give the play only one night, Fri-
day, April 27. To insure a seat
for the night of production, one
should buy a ticket as early as
possible.

Student Elections Begin Monday

Student Body President

Those receiving committee nominations for the office of
president of the Student Body are: Willette Barnwell, Mary
Ann Lusk, and Mary Beth Thomas. Those receiving popular
nominations are: Frannie Bailey, Willette Barnwell, Ina
Jones, Mary Ann Lusk and Mary Beth Thomas

The following is a composite list
of those nominated for the office
of president of the Student Body:
Frannie Bailey, Willette Barnwell,
Ina Jones, Mary Ann Lusk and
Mary Beth Thomas.

Frannie Bailey
Danville, Kentucky
Gaines Cottage
Extracurricular Activities:
President of '63 club (therefore
freshman representative to C.A.);
member of Self-Study Committee
on Student Personnel; president of
Gaines Cottage (therefore junior
representative to Executive Com-
mittee)

Statement:

As president of Student Govern-
ment, I would feel it my responsi-
bility to maintain
the standards of
the school and
simultaneously to
maintain the re-
spect for the
rights of the stu-
dent as an indi-
vidual and as a
member of the
Agnes Scott stu-
~me, the realization
of this balance would be achieved
through close personal contact
with the students and administra-
tion in addition to the Student
Government President's stated
duties such as serving as the head
of Representative Council and on
various committees which I would
seek to fulfill to the best of my
ability. It would be a particular
challenge to serve in this capacity
as the student body launches its
Student Government in its new
form this coming year.

flexible, never dogmatic nor static.

It is the President's obligation
to be aware not only of campus
and off-campus activities relevant
to student government, but of
campus needs and opinions as well.
And this awareness should lead to
action. Often her action may, and
should, include encouraging coop-
eration and personal understanding
between the faculty and admini-
stration and the students, among
the various groups and organiza-
tions on campus, or even among in-
dividuals.

In exercizing her power the
President should remember that
her position is not an end, but
a means to an end, that end being
ultimately the personal develop-
ment of individuals.

The President should be satisfied
with her efforts only if they in-
clude the future. She should con-
tinually keep in mind the aims of
the college and should consider it
partially her responsibility to pre-
serve these. She should envision
future possibilities and should en-
courage opportunities for leader-
ship training. This is a definite,
and vital, responsibility.

Willette Barnwell

Extracurricular Activities:

Day Student representative to

tee of the Self-Study Program;

ment Re-organization Committee;
member of Glee club; president of

Counselor of Girl's Auxiliary at

Statement:

The President of Student
Government's first responsibility
is individual. In
order for her to
share the respon-
sibilities of stu-
dent government,
she should first
assume those ex-
pected of all stu-
dents. Ideally,
she above all
should exemplify
hose standards and ideals held by
the college. But while firm in her
beliefs and attitudes, she should be

tion of Student Government Com-
mittee, hockey (3 years), volley-
ball (3 years), swimming team
(3 years), Cottage president
committee, Black Cat script com-
mittee, Smith-Scott alternate,
Sports Editor of News, A.A. board
member, Assistant Editor of News,
Junior Class president.

Statement:
The President of Student Gov-
ernment acts as a spokesman to
the student body
on administra-
tion's opinions, as
spokesman to ad-
ministration on
student body
opinion, and as
chairman of Rep-
resentative Coun-
cil which corre-
lates the two
areas. The prerequisites for the
fulfillment of her obligation are
an awareness of campus attitudes,
an ability to communicate and the
respect of the campus community.

This respect can be earned only
by sincere dedication to the stu-
dents whom she represents a
dedication which does not confuse
stereotype and individuality. This
relationship is not pyrimidal. The
concern is not divorced from loyal-
ty to the standards of the college.
As president she is responsible for
the continuity of leadership on the
campus, the culmination of ideas,
ideals and individuals.

EDITOR'S NOTE: This year for
the first time all campus boards
and the Agnes Scott News are co-
operating in an effort to further
an all-campus awareness in the
forthcoming week of elections.

This staff, because of space limi-
tations, is presenting profiles of
all candidates for the following
offices only: president of Student
Government, Judicial Chairman,
president of Athletic Association,
president of Christian Association,
president of Social Council, Editor
of the NEWS, and Joint House
Chairman.

Each of the twenty-nine candi-
dates for these offices was asked
to fill out an information sheet
and submit a statement in answer
to the following question: "What
do you think the responsibilities
of your office are? Interpret your
nominated office to the campus."

In addition to the information to
be gained from this special issue,
there will be an open house in the
Hub from 9:30 to late time limit
Sunday night when candidates for
all of the offices will be available
for questions.

The entire student body is in-
vited and urged to attend. This will
be a further opportunity to meet
and differentiate between the vari-
ous students nominated.

These efforts come from a deep
realization of the part of present
campus leaders to remedy the past
inadequacies of our election sys-
tem. Everyone is encouraged to
study the various candidates that
she may cast a meaningful vote.

Subsequently, we all hope that
next week will see the largest and
best informed group of student
voters.

As the representative of the stu-
dent body, she applies herself to
the needs of the campus and co-
ordinates these with the purpose
of the college.

Those receiving popular nominations for Judicial Chair-
man are: Mary Ann Lusk, Nancy Rose, Betsy Schenck, Nell
Tabor and Mary Beth Thomas.
The following is a composite list

of those nominated for this office:
Nancy Butcher, Mary Ann Lusk,
Nancy Rose, Betsy Schenck, Nell
Tabor and Mary Beth Thomas.

Nancy Butcher

Decatur, Georgia
Day Student
Extracurricular Activities:

Sophomore class advisory coun-
cil; exec junior day student repre-
sentative; spirit committee; Sup-
pressed Desires Day Committee;
Treasurer of Psychology Club;
1960-61 ASC Directory committee.

Statement:

Any student government officer,
but especially the Judicial Chair-
man must rea-
lize that in any
well structured
society in which
the judicial sys-
tem really works
there must be a
sincere desire to
understand the
personality of
each individual
comes in contact,
as well as a set of concrete values
upon which the society is based.
There the Judicial chairman could
be considered the main inter-
mediary between the complex per-
sonality of each individual student
and the set values. She must try
to find a balance between the two;
this balance constitutes justice. As
head of the Judicial Committee,
she must strive for a certain
amount of consistency for fairness
to all students, but "foolish consis-
tency is the hobgoblin of little
minds." (Emerson, 1 'Self -Reliance")
a sense of justice compels me
to footnote this...

The Judicial Chairman must be
available to students as a good
listener and an understanding
friend, but must not be swayed
solely by emotions. She must be
an authority figure, but yet one
who is not above any student but
with all students.

The job is time consuming and
must be held by one willing to
take the time and devote it to help-
ing each student understand the
rules, the reasons for the rules
and the relationship of the rules
to the Honor System. But she
must also be willing to listen to
students' appeals as well as com-
plaints, recognize the need for
change as the need arises and work
through the Representative Council
and the Administration to make
changes.

It seems very fair to give each
student an equal opportunity to ex-
press her interpretation of the
office for which she is running, for
there are differences in interpreta-
tion; though perhaps minor, each

one affects how the work of Stu-
dent Government or any other
organization is directed.

For the qualifications and
statement of office of Mary
Anne Lusk, see page 1, column 3.

Extracurricular Activities:

class chairman for the campus
campaign; sophomore exec repres-
entative; reorganization commit-
tee; smoking committee; secretary-
treasurer of orientation committee;
Honor Roll 1959-60, 1960-61.

Statement:

Judicial Chairman has the re-
sponsibility for direction of all
work of the Judi-
cial Council for
working with and
understand i n g
cases, for seeking
fairness and
H also efficiency in
meetings and for
helping to inter-
pret the work of
this council to
the administration and to students.
This person must be able to talk
to and understand students but
at the same time able to keep the
entire community in mind. She
must be willing to give time and
energy to her work without com-
plaint, and she must be concerned
that all students, but perhaps
especially freshmen, grow toward
a real understanding of our Honor
System and of Agnes Scott's way
of life and demands. Realizing that
it is the Judicial Council's and ul-
timately each student's responsibi-
lity to enforce the regulations and
promises which alone can make
community life possible, neverthe-
less the Judicial Chairman must
feel herself especially responsible
for this work and must seek to
promote understanding of Judicial
Council and a sensitive, just Judi-
ciary.

C. A. President

of all those nominated for Presi-
dent of Athletic Association: Judy

Chairman of A. A. S. C. Winter
Dance for decoration of gym, A. A.
Orientation Committee (design for

Decoration Committee, Chairman
of Junior Hub Party for Freshmen.

Statement:

The office of the President of
Athletic Association is a unique
position in rela-
tion to this office
at women's ath-
letic councils at
most colleges and
universi-
ties. Since Agnes
Scott does not
offer a major in
physical educa-
tion, the concern
is not that of providing activities
for students whose major emphasis
in college is on physical education.
Instead, the interest lies in pro-
viding each girl, whether amateur
or experienced, with chances to
participate in sports which provide
enjoyment and relaxation.

This is accomplished through
promoting a variety of individual
and group sports which are de-
signed to touch upon some aspect
of each girl's interest and give her
a freedom in deciding from which
ones she will derive the most
pleasure.

The interest in providing pleas-
urable activities extends much fur-
ther than sports. Orientation tours,
cabin parties, pep rallies and pres-
entations of sports and spirit
awards reveal the striving to pro-
vide enjoyable and meaningful
times. Deeply integrated in these
activities is the desire to promote
and maintain a high level of spirit
on the campus.

The Athletic Association presi-
dency involves an understanding
of the activities as particularly en-
joyable ways of exercising the
body after the exercise of the
mind; however, there is a realiza-
tion of the need for emphasis not
only on this particular phase but
also on a "well-rounded" and aca-
demic campus life.

In order to serve Agnes Scott
best, the Athletic Association pres-
idency involves a deep belief in
the fundamental goals and ideals
of the college, and a strong inter-
est in the opinions and interpreta-
tions students give to all phases
of the Athletic Association Board's
actions and policies.

With these as guides and
through earnest and diligent work
with students, faculty and
administration, the activities of
Athletic Association are co-ordi-
nated and promoted. The goal is
the formulation of policies and ac-
tivities which are beneficial to all
concerned.

Statement:

The president of Athletic Asso-
ciation has a threefold obligation,
that is, an obligation to the Ath-
letic Board, the student body and
Representative Council.

This responsibility involves rec-
ognizing, upholding and encourag-
ing the purpose of the Association,
which is to supervise the campus
in wholesome recreation.

The foremost challenge before
the board president, as president
of her board, representative of the
student body, and ex officio mem-
ber of Representative Council, is
to inter-relate these areas of re-
sponsibility, each of which is an
integral part of the other.

Freshman representative to
A. A., Sophomore Board member
as swimming manager, secretary of
A. A., blazer committee chairman,
News staff, smoking committee
chairman.

Statement:

The president of A.A. has two
main responsibilities. As the pre-
siding officer of
the A.A. board,
she is the ulti-
mate coordinator
of the activities
planned by the
Board and the
ideas presented
by the Board
members. It is
necessary for her
to create and maintain a unity
within the Board in order that the
goals of the association may be
realized to the greatest degree.

The other responsibility of the
A.A. President is to the student
body. The most important function
of A.A. is concerned with spirit.
This involves not only the spirit
to be physically fit but also that
found in academics and in extra-
curricular activities. It is the spirit
which is evident in a healthy, con-
structive atmosphere on campus.

The President of A.A. has a very
important part fostering this
atmosphere through her direct
work with the A.A. Board and also
through her personal contacts with
the student body.

ca, summer, 1959.

Statement:
The president of Christian Asso-
ciation has a unique responsibility
1 to both the
campus collec-
tively and each
girl individually.
Her basic job is
to communicate a
genuine belief in
and enthusiasm
for the fact that
religious faith is
the one unifying
and constant factor among the
many facets of a person's chang-
ing life. The organization and di-
rection of the C.A. Cabinet in
order to carry out specific activi-
ties is of vital importance, but be-
yond being a strong leader in this
capacity, it is the president's duty
to be an effective personal witness
to her beliefs to the extent that
her enthusiasm will be contagious
and not offensive.

and this concern for people,
I think the office can realize
its specific purpose and its extend-
ed importance on this campus.

Freshman representative to
Executive committee; C. A. repres-
entative; C. A. World Relatedness
chairman; C. A. secretary; Dolphin

Statement:

I think that the Christian Asso-
ciation exists as the primary
agency on this
campus to stimu-
late, strengthen,
and extend the
involvement of
students in the
belief in an ulti-
mate reality, be-
yond the funda-
mental physical
I existence of our
lives, which gives our lives mean-
ing. My interpretation of the office
of president of this association is
of course of alert, responsible
leadership and service in realizing
its purpose, not only in fulfillment
of the perennial duties of the office,
but also in the conception and exe-
cution of new plans and ideas.
Only one who has filled this office
could adequately present its speci-
fic responsibilities, nor do I think
this of the greatest importance.
My primary conception of this of-
fice revolves around its greatest
responsibility a deep commit-
ment to the search for, if not the
absolute possession of, life's ulti-
mate reality, and a real concern for
others and their knowing this also.
The presidency of C.A. is not an
office of suffocating piety or stilt-
ed prudence; but one filled with
real vital committment, concern
and enthusiasm.

With the basic qualities of leader-
ship and service, this committment

It is the responsibility of C. A.
President to interpret the purpose
of C. A. to the

Julianne Williams

Extracurricular Activities:

Blackfriars Sound Chairman,

Statement:
The C.A. President must have
the ground, must have
a firm faith in
God, and must
put her concern
for C.A. activities
and projects be-
fore her concern
for other things
(but not limit
her concern of
course!) All this
| is linked, I be-
lieve, by an earnest effort to un-
derstand people and to enjoy them.
And, I will add, she must be able
to preside carefully and tactfully,
to see what needs to be taken care
of (in activities and attitudes),
and to know how to take care of
it.

such as efficiency and ability to
lead and work with a group co-
operatively.

If the objective view complet-
ed the picture, the position could
be easily understood and inter-
preted. However, there is another
dimension because these girls are
not simply leaders of an organiza-
tion but also of a spirit. In the in-
terpretation of this aspect, I think
one of the key ideas is that of
communication.

The Honor System revolves
around and depends upon relation-
ships between people; and these
relationships must exist within a
pervading atmosphere of honesty,
unselfish honesty. The responsibili-
ty of a leader in this situation is
first of all to be involved in these
relationships.

But even beyond involvement,
the leadership of a spirit requires
understanding understanding of
the people and of the ideal. It is
this balance between fairness to
the individual and fairness to the

'News' Editor

The following people have been nominated both popularly
and by the committee for the editor of the News: Frances
Anderson, Judy Little, Cheryl Winegar and Mariane Wurst.

Frances Anderson

Extracurricular Activities:

Freshman Joint House Council

Junior Joint House Council Rep-
resentative, Cottage President
(thereby on Exec), Aurora
Art staff, B.O.Z., Black Cat skit
committee, Student Government
Publicity Chairman, Smith-Scott
exchange committee of Exec.

Statement:

The responsibility of this office
is the responsibility of awareness.

This responsibili-
ty of awareness
is most acute and
necessary be-
cause of the
uniqueness of the
Editor's .position.
The Editor must
be continually
aware of the in-
dividual student,
of all the campus organizations, of
the administration and faculty
in other words aware of the whole
Agnes Scott community of
what it thinks and feels as a group
and as individuals.

In addition to the school com-
munity, the Editor must be aware
of the civic community of which
the college is a part. She must
also be aware of the national and
international incidents which
affect or should affect each stu-
dent on this campus. There can be
no room for apathy or stoicism in
any position of leadership
especially this one.

There is a second part to this
responsibility of awareness this
responsibility of being aware
that is making others aware. The
latter follows the former. The
editor has a responsibility to each
person on this campus : to keep the
students informed and cognizant of
the opinions and pertinent work-
ings of the Administration and
vice versa; to keep the various or-
ganizations especially the four
Boards cognizant of each other's
work.

The office of Editor of the News
is perhaps the most vital, unique
and powerful office on this campus.
Having the power of the press is
perhaps one of the strongest forces
in any community. This fact is
particularly pertinent on this
campus for the News is the only
vehicle for expressing student and
administrative opinion. Good, clear
communication is an extremely
vital factor on our campus and
the responsibility for this ultimate-
ly rests on the shoulders of the
Editor.

It follows that it is especially
important for the Editor to have
a thorough understanding of the
school policies of the workings of
Student Government and the other
Boards. If her understanding of
these organizations is clear and if
she is receptive to student and Ad-
ministrative opinion then it fol-
lows that the students the whole
community will also be cognizant.

Statement:

To be in charge of collecting and
assigning news stories, to overlook
the jobs of all
staff members, to
write articles and
editorials, to edit
the paper and see
that it is ready
for the press are
the responsibili
ties of a good
editor. News
items should be
the viewpoints and
activities of a cross section of the
students, staff and faculty are
reported.

Committee (1961) ; Advertising

(1961-62); Aurora (1960-62).
Statement:
The college newspaper ideally
should serve as a vital means of
commnication be-
tween every or-
ganization and
every individual
on the college
campus and be-
tween the camp-
us and the world
beyond the camp-
1 us. It must
necessarily be di-
rected by people who are adept at
finding out the news, organizing
it into palpable and impartially
focused copy, and presenting it
efficiently to the college.

When occasion demands that the
newspaper take a stand on any
issue, the editorial staff must
speak for what it believes to be
the good of the school even while
it acknowledges and permits full
expression in the paper of opin-
ions of those opposed to its posi-
tion. For the college newspaper is
not the voice of its editor. It is the
possession of the totality of the
elements of the college, and its
voice is the voice of the college.

But it is folly to assume that an
idealistic newspaper can exist at
all times when it is contributed to
and directed by very real people.
Sometimes mistakes will be made,
and then the editor alone is re-
sponsible for admitting the fault
and bearing the blows (and blows
do faD rapidly and vehemently at
times.) A sense of humor and a
willingness to admit and correct
a fault are essential for one in this
capacity.

Equally essential is the ability
of the editor to stand away from
the campus at times so as to gain
a perspective and understanding
that cannot be got if she is con-
stantly and wholly involved with
her personal relation to campus
issues.

Social Council President

The following students have received both committee and popular nominations for the
office of president of Social Council: Virginia Allen, Becky Bruce, Lynn Denton.

Sophomore member of Social
Council, member of Dance Group,

Statement:

The first responsibility of the
President of Social Council is to
| be always aware
jjjk Stefe aware of the
iJwffi ^^^B m <>od of the pres-
I ent in the world
at large, aware of
K^,. the atmosphere

* ~* ticular, aware of

X' : w0^* ^ e wnole n eed of
V'" others and the

contribution that can be made in
the social realm toward the ful-
filling of that need.

It is the President's job to unite
the members of Social Council in
their drive toward a seldom seen
but always felt, goal to bring out
the best idea, effort, and will to
work of each member, and to
create renewed enthusiasm for the
consideration of ever present, un-
pleasant problems the Hub,
scarves at supper, and "where can
we find more men."

Social relationships and social
standards on campus and off are
everybody's concern, certainly, but
they are Social Council's reason
for being and constitute a pertinent
purpose in a social situation which
leaves judgment and action up to
one's personal dignity and integrity
alone.

For the President of Social
Council the Agnes Scott Ideal is
not a joke, not a cliche. It is a
guidepost in the planning of the
council toward the realization of
the concepts on which any ideal is
founded toward all that con-
tributes to a rich, full, useful life,
to the highest of which a human
being is capable.

Finally, it is Social Council's
duty and that of the President who
presides over it, to provide an
opportunity through its activities
for the growth of each student to-
ward the graciousness and the
maturity inherent in the concept
of womanhood. And because what
a woman is within herself is her
greatest strength and treasure,
this is a study to be entered into
seriously with a realization of the
responsibility of its demands.

Extracurricular Activities:

Head of Dance and Social
Standards Committee for Social
Council, includes: dress policy,
combo parties, orientation enter-
tainment and style show, coffees

Phi.

Statement:

The office of president of Social
Council demands, in general, three

basic responsi-
bilities of the
person who hold
this position.

First, the office
requires that the
person be famil-
iar with the pur-
pose and opera-
tion of the board,
remembe ring
that this purpose and operation is
a part of and for the benefit of
the entire student body. But more
than just being familiar with the
board's purpose, the president must
be wholly interested and enthusi-
astic in fulfilling, and even sur-
passing, this goal of the organiza-
tion.

The Social Council president,
secondly, must not only have her
board and its operation at heart
but must also be aware of, famil-
iar with, and interested in the
operation and co-operation of the
four boards, for one of her duties
will be her position as an advisory
member of the Representative
Council.

Lastly, the president of Social
Council must be able to work well
with people. Thus, she must not
only be enthusiastic in and famil-
iar with the work of her board and

that of the entire student body, but
must also be able to easily com-
municate her enthusiasm, ideas,
and understanding to those with
whom she works those both of
her board and the entire student
body.

I believe the president of Social

1 ness of the social
needs of the stu-

office she should
combine a sense
of the impor-
tance of ordinary
duties with an openness to creat-
ing new opportunities for individu-
al social development.

idea of honesty which must always
be of foremost concern. In fact, I
think the essence of such leader-
ship is conveyed in the feeling of
concern.

Statement:
Especially in view of the recent
approval of the plans for the re-
organization of
Student Govern-
ment, the major
responsibility of
the President of
Student Govern-
ment is that of
vital interest in
and awareness of
the goals and pur-
poses of every
organization on campus.

As the newly formed Representa-
tive Council is composed of repres-
entatives from every major organi-
zation, each aimed toward ful-
filling certain aspects of the over-
all ideals of the school, the Council
will consequently embody all of
these goals.

Thus with a real interest in the
purposes of each organization,
coupled with careful thought and
planning, the president will be able
to help provide the most favorable
conditions for the groups to carry
out the activities which are di-
rected toward fulfilling all of the
purposes set before us.

The major responsibility of the
Judicial Chairman is of course to
guide the Judicial Council in ren-
dering just decisions in all judicial
proceedings, keeping in mind both
the individual and the school. How-
ever, the responsibilities must go
one step further, as the situation at

Agnes Scott demands that each
student be given the best oppor-
tunities to allow her concept of
honor to grow as she grows.

Therefore, with the office of
Judicial Chairman lies the respon-
sibility of enabling the members
of the Council to provide individ-
uals with the constant opportunity
to re-evaluate and redefine their
concept of honor.

duties of Judicial Chairman, lie
the less tangible
but no less im-
portant aspects
of this office
which also in-
volve all that a
girl is. To me,
the office de-
mands a girl's
basic honesty
not only in all
>s but with her-
self. This honesty must be coupled
with a deep concern for each girl
because she is human because
of her (overly discussed but vital
quality) integrity.

I see this office as dynamic, in
a sense, for each year, unique de-
mands are made upon it, as the
campus situation, influenced by
each student as well as tremendous
social forces, change; consequent-
ly, a closeness to the campus,
sensitivity to its feelings and
changes, and availability are im-
perative.

In one capacity, the Judicial
Chairman serves as interpreter. To
put life in the sometimes trite
phrases to give a realistic, vital in-
terpretation of the Honor system
as well as understanding it herself
means she must be able to com-
municate her ideas in a group as
well as on a personal level. Saying
what she believes, she should rea-
lize it may be disliked and mis-
construed.

Judicial Chairman

(Continued from Page 3)

In her most familiar role, presi-
ding over the Executive Committee,
she has a responsibility to help the
Committee gain an over-all per-
spective of the relation of its work
to the campus. Often the chairman
influences the whole tone of a
meeting which affects the quality
of work done. Here, as well as
helping bring out all relevant facts,
she sometimes needs to bring these
together in such a way that she
helps others crystallize their opin-
ion, as she tries to put the girl and
the school in the right balance.

As friend, interpreter, Chair-
man, the Judicial Chairman has a
demanding as well as challenging
job in which she herself grows.

Statement:

As the presiding member of the
Judicial Committee, the Judicial
Jjj3jEHjj& Chairman directs
and aids the dis-
LHi cussions of the
committee. She
should not domi-
nate them! She
guides the Com-
mittee in recog-
nizing the two-
fold responsibi-
lity to the indi-
vidual whose case may be in ques-
tion, and to the individuals of the
student body.

The chairman should believe in
the decisions of the Committee and
be equipped and available to justi-
fy them. I strongly feel the right
of the sincerely concerned student
to an explanation of the actions
of our elected judicial body.

As students we have a right to
expect our Judicial Chairman to
have a vivid and practical realiza-
tion of the code of honor under
which we live. The Honor System
is pertinent to every phase of Scott
life! The responsibility of uphold-
ing our Honor System is not just
the Judicial Committee's. This is
a responsibility that we all must
accept as Scott students. How
many lack sufficient stimulation
necessary for them to realize this?
Our Judicial Chairman is in a po-
sition to encourage questions and
"bull sessions" directed toward an
increased understanding and ap-
preciation of our Honor System
as it is to be lived. What can she
and her committee do without the
students taking this responsibility
which we are trustingly given.

There is a fine line between the
objectivity and subjectivity with
which a case should be handled.
Any IBM machine could do a
grand objective job. Our Judicial
Committee must recognize the in-
dividual circumstances of each
case. Too much subjectivity, on the
other hand, can turn the cases into
"personality trials." Our Judicial
Chairman must maintain this bal-
ance in the discussions.

In electing a Judicial Chairman
of Student Government, we express
confidence in a candidate; a con-
fidence equal to that which we ex-
pect her to have in us, the student
body.

To achieve this she must, working

Statement:

I feel, first and foremost, that
the President of Athletic Associa-
tion should, by
working through
her board, strive
to stimulate each
girl at Agnes
Scott with the
desire to want to
participate in
some recreation-
al activities. This
is not only for
her~physical well-being but more
important it helps to promote a
healthy group spirit which is fol-
lowed by a healthy Agnes Scott
community spirit. Then, I feel that
the president should be constantly
aware of, and sincerely interested
in, every other organization and
activity on campus and be willing
to offer her services at any time.
Lastly she should be at all times
open for suggestions and criticism.

The Agnes Scott News should
become the spokesman for and to
each student. The
News should be
the means of
c o mmunica-
tion between
groups of stu-
dents as they are
placed within the
several campus
associations.
The News
should encompass in a style that
is fresh and stimulating the scope
of the situations and ideas that
are presently touching our campus
and our world. The News should
further this year's goal of "world
awareness," and seek a deeper and
more vital campus awareness.

The News should continue to ad-
here to the highest standards of
journalism. It should be a paper
that we would send to any college
in the nation, proud in the repre-
sentation of Agnes Scott it would
carry.

The Editor of the News has the

tremendous responsibility to carry
out these goals through her medi-
um in a way that is in accordance
with the student body and the

Nine Blackfriars Committees Work
To Produce 'Ring Around The Moon'

By ANN DANIEL

On April 26 and 27 Blackfriars will presentRing Round the Moon, a comedy by Jean
Anouilh, adapted by Christopher Fry. Nine Blackfriar committees, in addition to the cast,
have been working since winter quarter to enable the group to put on their spring produc-
tion.

(Continued on Page 2)

The scenery committee, directed
by Anneke Schepman, has combin-
ed wood, unbleached muslin,
startched crepe paper and wire to
make a striking set. A major at-
traction of the set for this produc-
tion will be a fountain with actual
running water.

The props committee has had to
find everything from a butterfly
net to a wheel chair. It is rumored
that the wheel chair was obtained

under rather unusual circum-
stances which will be revealed in
the Blackfriars' chapel. This com-
mittee is headed by Brownie Fau-
cette.

Day, night and the "fires of
heaven" will be simulated by the
lighting committee headed by
Betsy Jefferson. Producing the
sound of anything from tangos and
waltzes to firecrackers is the work
of the sound committee under the
direction of Julianne Williams.

Smith, Scott Exchange Girls;
Visitors Join In Campus Life

By BECKY VICK

As five Agnes Scott students arrived at Smith College in
Northhampton, Mass. last Sunday, arriving at Agnes Scott
were five Smith students fulfilling the exchange program
which both schools have been looking forward to with great
excitement and enthusiasm.

These five girls, selected by the
Smith Executive Board to partici-
pate in the program, are as fol-
lows: juniors, Mary Bocock from
Richmond, Va., and Ann Mitchell
from Woodside, Calif., and sopho-
mores, Ruth Gadik from Newark,
N.J., Peggy Hanley from Seattle,
Wash., and Carolyn Chappell from
Bloomfield Hill, Mich.

Mary, Ann and Carolyn are
history majors, Ruth is a govern-
ment major and Peggy plans to
major in zoology.

Among the events on the agenda
for this week was a formal intro-
duction of the girls to the student
body which was held last Monday
in the Hub during chapel and was
sponsored by student government.
Planned for the group for yester-

day was a tour of Atlanta.

Today a panel consisting of
the girls from Smith was held
in chapel. This chapel gave the
ASC student body an opportunity
to ask them various qustions con-
cerning their attitudes and feeling
toward the Scott campus life
academically and socially.

This afternoon the exchange
students will attend a Joint House
ouncil meeting at Miss Scandrett's
home, and this evening an in-
formal discussion will be held in
the Hub from 8-10 p.m.

To conclude the formal activities
of the week Dr. Alston has invited
the Smith girls to his home Friday
evening.

Warren Wins
National Prize

The Edwin Palmer Memorial
Prize was recently awarded to
Ferdinard Warren for his painting
"Shrimpboat" during its exhibition
in New York. The exhibition was
the 137th annual exhibition held at
the National Academy of Art.

One of three hundred other
paintings in the national showing,
"Shrimpboat" was selected by a
committee of artists as the re-
cipient of the prize. The painting is
a 28" x 40" oil on canvas done by
Mr. Warren about a year ago, after
a visit to Savannah where he made
the preliminary sketches.

Later this spring Mr. Warren
will have a one man exhibition at
the Columbus Museum of Arts and
Crafts in Columbus, Georgia. The
showing will run from May 27
through June 10.

Writers Contribute
Stories for Contest

A total of seven contributions
was received by the Aurora staff
Monday for judging in the Maude

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 11, 1962

Editor Exits

For those of you who had to labor through nomination
statements, I really think it's harder to attempt to re-cap a
year's failures and accomplishments. Songs may come
naturally to dying swans but they don't to tired editors.

After taking over last Spring, we've all
pulled together to put out some thirty
issues. Throughout this year, we have al-
ways felt strongly that the News should
assume its rightful place as a vital means of
communication between all segments of
campus life.

In addition to this over-all a^m, we were
determined to make some specific innova-
tions in this publication's areas of respon-
sibility.

The Orientation program first drew our attention. Having
experienced those first few weeks of bewilderment
despite the onslaught of summer mail from every conceivable
campus dignitary we set as our goal the publication of a
special Orientation Issue with advice on everything from
rush party know-how to study tips from the Stukes scholars.

Probably in an effort to give us humility, the student gov-
ernment for the first time sent the editor to Editorial Affairs
Conference of the National Student Association convention
in Wisconsin. After this experience we were overwhelmed
with the awareness and quality of other collegiate publica-
tions throughout the nation.

Out of this awareness of the inadequacy of our previous
attempts to keep the campus informed, the News worked
with other campus organizations at Retreat to put this
year's emphasis on world awareness at the top of our com-
bined list of objectives.

Again for the first time, the News was granted a seat on
the Rules committee as well as a representative ex officio to
Joint House meetings.

As a result, we've felt that information was given to the
student body by hand-in-hand co-operation rather than by
word-of-mouth sensationalism.

Perhaps the area of service we are most please about is
this year's election issue. A lot of mutual understanding is
prerequisite to making any drastic change; however, we
were completely convinced about the necessity of prepar-
ing an informed electorate.

This issue, if any, was our major objective. Now after the
smoke has cleared, we sincerely feel that through the Hub
open house and the issue that next year's leaders have been
elected intelligently; moreover, we feel they may assume their
offices with every confidence that they were elected for their
expressed competence.

This year has, however, only been a beginning, a partial
fulfillment of all our hopes. We changed the masthead to in-
clude the college seal but we did not change the name of the
paper. We foresee now that the election special should be
expanded to include all offices rather than just the top seven.

And finally, due to the calendar conflict, we never found
the time to put out that long-overdue April Fool's Issue.
Therefore, we've carefully packed away all the old movie
stills and their appropriate captions and our twenty-foot
concrete daffodil for another year and another editor.

A concluding bow of thanks should go to many people who
have contributed to any measure of success this publication
lias achieved. We thank the administration, regular column-
ists, and newspaper staff who filled these pages with infor-
mation and life. Our appreciation also goes to the behind-
tho scenes V.I.P.'s the printer, assistant editors, Betsv.
affly and Nancy without whom this paper would never have
put out the first issue.

And finally, I give public thanks to Owen who has done
without clean dishes and clothes, food and companionship
in order that this paper could fulfill all the hopes and plans
we made last Spring. L.B.S.F.

Turbulent Crises Distinguish
Argentine Political Situation

By DORIS SANDERS

The South American continent has been distinguished by
numerous and turbulent political crises.
The military-dominated Argen-

tine government is trying to crush
Peron-Socialism and Castro-Com-
munism.

The most spec-
tacular event
since the ousting
of dictator Juan
Peron in 1955
was the arrest of
President Auturo
Frondizi on
March 29.

For almost
four years, Frondizi has sought to
rectify the precarious economic
situation left by Peron.

Argentine Distrust

The Argentine military had dis-
trusted Frondizi since 1958 when
his election was achieved through
the support of Peronist voters, un-
able to have a ticket of their own.

Deference to the Peronist fac-
tion had characterized many Pres-
idential actions.

For example. Peronist unions
were restored to a position of con-
trol in the General Confederation
of Labor.

Frondizi allowed the Peronist
political party to run a slate of
candidates in the March 18 elec-
tions.

Ironically, the Peronists won 10
out of 19 governorships and de-
(Continued on Page 4)

worthwhile.
I Thus, let me
| make one last
| statement which
will naturally be
J a controversial
one. But I have
thought deeply on this matter for
four years and surely you will let
me fling my last bomb.

Let us take one farewell look at
the Honor System. First of all I
am sick of the actual word Honor.
This word is stale, over-used, a
cliche just as most of us repeat
the words of the Lord's Prayer
which have become pat phrases
with little vital meaning. Let us
call the Honor System a set of
very necessary rules and leave it
at that.

Contract

When we come to this school
we sign a contract, and it is in my
opinion a good contract and a
flexible one. In grammar school, in
high school, in our own families
we live by certain rules. So in col-
lege we live by certain established
rules. When we leave Agnes Scott
again we shall live under certain
standards.

There are always rules and con-
tracts which we must abide by for
our sake and for the sake of
others around us. I am sick of
others trying to interpret my Hon-
or, your Honor, this Honor, that
Honor, the school's Honor, etc. The
Honor system is a set of rules
which are vital during our four
years here, but nothing more.

The only Honor in our system, as
far as I am concerned, is that
which is involved in the actual
signing of the contract. This is
(Continued on Page 4)

'You Done Good'

As we of the editorial staff finish this year, we feel that
there is so much more that could be said-about international
affairs, campus problems, national events and so on ad in-
finitum.

But there is also a lot to say that has never been said. Not
only is it necessary to look objectively at the
accomplishments and the "firsts" of a year
but subjectively at the people who have
made these plans a reality.

Special thanks should go to Lucy Forres-
ter who has combined married life with the
rigors of a top campus position. Not only
is she a first class journalist but evidences
a contagious enthusiasm for the paper, a
sensitivity to the staff and to campus pro-
blems and an unfailing sense of humor.
Betsy Jefferson as advertising manager and Bebe Walker
as business manager have "kept the wolf away from the
door of the newsroom" and with good humor and moral sup-
port have added immeasurably to the work of the paper in
all its aspects.

Sally Blomquist as copy editor and the three assistant
editors, Cheryl, Mariane and Ina have surmounted thousands
of galleys, headlines, re-written stories and late Monday
night sessions to turn in a top-notch job-to them, Lucy and I
would simply say, "You done good"!

To reporters, photographers and columnists who have
contributed hours of their time in countless ways which are
unseen but not unappreciated go the thanks of all the editors.

To the student body, faculty and administration goes our
greatest depth of gratitude for providing us with news,
constructive criticism, moral support and for giving evidence
of having read "the successor to the New York Times"
keep giving Cheryl and Mariane those kind of stories! N.B.

Freshmen, Juniors Win
First Volleyball Games

By MARY LOU LAIRD

Anticipating an exciting volleyball season of competition
along with a little sun-worshipping, a large number of play-
ers were assembled last Friday afternoon for the first games.
Ironically, the sun lovers were disappointed as the April
showers forced them to seek shelter in the gym.

The sophomores had the mis-
fortune of losing the first two
games out of three to the juniors.
The scores were 10-6 and 8-5. The
games lasted 8 minutes and a
team had to win two out of three
in order to be declared the winner.

These first games were played
quickly and skillfully. The junior
team appeared better co-ordinated
than that of the sophomores. Their
serves and assists evidenced better
control and timing. A few more
practices together will, I am sure,
improve the sophs' teamwork.

The seniors followed their sister
class in defeat by losing to the
freshmen 12-10 and 14-10. Again
the action was fast and furious,
the first game ending in an ex-
citing play-off.

The senior team was well co-
ordinated in spite of a lack of sub-
stitutes. They put up a hard fight,
but could not withstand the fresh-
man vitality.

The class managers are Sue
Mustoe for the seniors, Nancy Du-
vall for the juniors, Judy Conner
for the sophomores, and Kay
Buchanan for the freshmen. If
anyone is interested in joining a
team, these girls will be most
happy to hear from you.

freshmen and the sophs battle the

Sen/or To Present
Musical Production

Senior Opera plans are under-
way, and according to chairman
Judy Holloway, it promises to be a
"huge success!" This year's opera
is a rewrite of an opera written in
1935 by Betty Lou Houck, the
mother of Jo Allison Smith Brown.

"Sam's Son and de Lilac" is
the name of the opera and it is a
parody of the story of Samson and
Delilah. The scene of the opera is
centered in Greece where Athens
Tech and Sparta University have
a great baseball rivalry.

Sparta University has been un-
defeated and the secret of their
success is their pitcher, Sam's son.
Athens Tech persuades de Lilac to
find out why Sam's son is such a
good pitcher.

The music committee for Senior
Opera is Lyn Horn, Biba Conner
and Beth Crawford. The music will
range from classical to modem
jazz. Working on the script are
Lucy Schow Forrester, Sandy Still,
Judy Holloway and Jo Allison
Brown. The cast will be chosen at a
future date.

Students Plan to Study Abroad;
Five to Participate in Program

By NANCY LEE

Five sophomores <are now making final plans for spending
their junior year abroad. Ann Beard, Margaret Moses and
Mary Wearn will study in Paris, while Julie Norton and
Marianna Guion will do independent study in Geneva.

Ann, Margaret and Mary are

going to France as part of the
Sweet briar group. Sailing from
New York August 30, they will
travel to France aboard the French
liner Mauretania, and will arrive
in Paris on September 6.

The group will then travel to
Tours for six weeks of intensive
training in speaking and writing
French. Here, as in Paris, they will
live in the homes of French fami-
lies. They will return to Paris at
the end of October to begin classes
at the Sorbonne.

In order to qualify for the Sweet-
briar Program, these girls had to
have a B average in French, a B
minus academic average, the
equivalent of three years college
French, and have recommenda-

Campus
Countdown

By LIL HARRIS

"Spring fever" has accelerated
the influx of pins and rings to the
campus. Several sophomores, in
traditional style, have received
pins. Ann Coggins "had to yield"
to the sword and shield of Lewis
Sapp, a Phi Delt at Emory, and
Bob Miller, who is a Beta Theta
Pi at Tech, recently pinned Betsy
Gillespie.

Another sophomore, Geneva
Ritchie, now wears the pin of
Wick Ransom, a K A at Tech,
while Suellen Wh el less is pinned
to a Tech ATO, Edwin Jelks.

The freshmen are moving ahead
with grinning Tacky Stevens now
displaying the pin of Carl Joiner,
a Lambda Chi Alpha at Tech, who
is also vice-president of his fra-
ternity.

Shary Scott was just pinned to a
member of Tech's Phi Gamma Del-
ta chapter, Ken Weatherspoon.

Now wearing pins in the junior
class are Ann Miller and Lydia
Sudbury. Ann has the Sigma Chi
pin of Howard Patterson, a stu-
dent at the University of Tennes-
see, and Lydia is pinned to a Mid-
shipman at Annapolis. Donn Byrne.

A junior, D'Etta Brown, has just
exchanged her pin for a ring, given
to her by J. J. "Bubba" Barnhardt,
a Sigma Chi at Tech. They plan
to be married in August. Also in
August will be the wedding of
Alice Heasely, a freshman who re-
cently announced her engagement
to Steve Higgins. He is attending
the School of Forrestry at the
University of Florida.

Clssie Harris, another lucky
Scottie to receive a ring, will be
running a tight schedule after
graduation, as she plans to marry
John P. Anderson on June 16.

Congratulations may also be ex-
tended to Pat Conrad, whose fi-
ance is Bill Schwarz, a former
student at the University of Michi-
gan. Their wedding will take place
on July 28.

John A. Mackay
To Speak May 8

John Alexander Mackay, a prominent Presbyterian theo-
logian will be on campus May 8-10. Mr. Mackay will address
the student body in a series of lectures on Spanish culture
and philosophy.

Mr. Mackay's visit will consist
of three lectures. In Mclean on
Tuesday evening, May 8, the series
will begin at 8:00 p.m. with a lec-
ture on the Spanish philosopher
Unamuno.

The following morning, May 9,
Mr. Mackay will speak in convo-
cation on the situation in Latin
America.

Mr. Mackay's primary occupa-
tion now is that of an adjunct pro-
fessor of Hispanic thought at the
American College in Washington,
D. C. He is also President Emeritus
of Princeton Theological Seminary
and was its president from 1936 to
1959.

It was at Princeton that Mr.
Mackay, a native of Inverness,
Scotland, received his B. D., hav-
ing accepted his M. A. degree with
first class honors at the Universi-
ty of Aberdeen in Scotland.

A number of other institutions
have presented him with honorary
degrees. Among these are included
the University of Lima in Peru,
the University of Bonn in Germa-
ny, Princeton University, Wooster
College, and Aberdeen University.

His proficiency in Spanish can
be partially explained by Mr.
Mackay's studies at the University
of Madrid in Spain. In addition
he has had experience as an educa-
tor in South America, where from
1916 to 1926 he was the principal
of the Anglo-Peruvian College of
Lima, Peru.

During part of this time, Mr.
Mackay also served as a professor
of philosophy at the National
University of Peru.

In connection with the church,
several formidable positions have
been Mr. Mackay's. From 1932 to
1936 he acted as Secretary of the

Missions, and at one time he was
Chairman of the International
Missionary Council.

Mr. Mackay has also served as
President of the World Presbyteri-
an Alliance, later as Moderator of
the General Assembly of the Pres-
byterian Church.

Not only does he speak Spanish
fluently, but he has also written
several books dealing with the
Christian faith and its underlying
thought.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 25, 1962

Editors Enter

Even though the management of the News has changed
hands, the purpose behind the publication has not changed. It
exists, as it always has, to serve the college. But any service

is dual in its nature; the re-
sponsibility for the effective-
ness of the newspaper lies
within itself and within the
reader.

We believe that we have
an excellent staff whose
separate functions we hope
to coordinate into a sound-
ing board for campus, local
ana international news of interest.

The reporters will deal with campus news and from time
to time the editorial staff and the columnists will treat spe-
cific campus material more subjectively.

We shall make it a policy to steer our editorials away from
issues that are obviously trite, and we shall avoid issues to
which the readers might be overy sensitive because of a lack
of temporal perspective.

We shall not create controversy for controversy's sake.
But when an issue is in public debate we shall deal with
it fairly and give members of opposing camps equal space
to express their views.

Locally we hope to spotlight the cultural and political in-
terests in and near Atlanta. The News will not contain a
weekly commentary on international situations, but we hope
to continue the policy of explication of particular events of
world-wide importance.

We hope to enlist the aid of our faculty in guest columns
and to give them deserved attention in feature stories.

Technically, the News has a responsibility to itself. We
shall endeavor to maintain the high standards of journalism
practiced by Lucy and Nancy's staff.

Your first responsibility is to read the paper. It has been
said that our campus is apathetic concerning situations
which exist outside of our "private cloister." We shall
confront you with a cross-section of outside events you
must destroy your own apathy.

The News is yours to use to your best advantage. Supplied
with information, we are more than glad to print news of
campus wide interest. We cannot create news, however, and
we are dependent upon you to give it to us.

It is your privilege to state your subjective opinions in
letters to the editor. In the case of more 'acute opinions about
situations, guest columns are always available.

It is natural that groups may at times take offense to
some opinions expressed by an editor or a columnist. While
the editorial staff as a whole may not back that writer's
opinion, it will always endorse that person's right to ex-
press her views.
It is your final responsibility to be constructively critical
of the News, always keeping in mind the implications of the
phrase, "Freedom of the Press," and directing your criticism,
not to any individuals, but to the individual opinions sup-
ported by the corporate body of the staff.

Supreme Court Opens Door
To Changes In Unit System

By Guest Columnist W. G. CORNELIUS

These are days of great hope for democracy in Georgia. By
its recent decision in the Tennessee legislative reapportion-
ment case, the U. S. Supreme Court has opened the door to
far-reaching changes. For us, this decision can lead to a truly
representative legislature and to the discarding of the county
unit system.

tion will be on

As recently as one month ago,
you would have been justified in
resigning yourself to many more
years with this
city disfranchis-
ing scheme. Now,
either the state
legislature will
drastically modi-
fy it or the fed-
eral court is like-
ly to nullify it
altogether. There
is no certainty that the court will
be satisfied even with a drastic
modification.

The county unit system has be-
come more disfranchising in its
effect on urban dwellers as the
years have worn on. People have
moved in droves to the cities; but
they have left their political pow-
er as voters back on the farm or
in the little town.

Under the system, most victors
in the Democratic primary the
decisive election in one-party
Georgia are decided not by the
votes of individual citizens but by
votes allocated to the counties as
units.

The eight most populous counties
are assigned six votes each; the
next thirty, four each; and the re-
maining 121 counties, two each.
But this narrow spread of county
unit votes, from two to six, by no
means accommodates the differ-
ences among the counties. For in-
stance, if the smallest county is
entitled to two unit votes, then
equality would require that the
largest county, Fulton (Atlanta),
have not six but 594.

The county unit, system does
violence to democracy in yet an-
other way. The candidate who gets
the largest number of popular
votes in a county, not necessarily
a majority, wins all of that coun-
ty's unit votes; the other candi-
dates win none. Consequently, it is
entirely possible for a candidate,
by appealing to a segment of
voters in the small counties, to win
an election overwhelmingly with
only meager popular support over
the whole state. Marvin Griffin
won the governorship in that way
in 1954.

Several proposals for making
the county unit system more
democratic are before the current
special session of the legislature.
But even the most generous plan
falls far short of equality for the
densely populated counties.

The legislators from the urban
counties almost certainly will vote
against any and all proposals for

'Shower Sopranos 7
Warble For Others

By JULIA PRATHER

A "shower soprano" is a slang expression often used to
denote an amateur songbird. Unfortunately, Webster offers
no similar description for an amateur journalist.

The journalist's "song" appears'
in the Wednesday circulation of
the Agnes Scott News, while the

"shower
soprano's" artis-
tic attempt is un-
ually confined to
the Saturday
night scrub. And
often due to the
amateur ability
of both "songs
heard are sweet,
but songs unheard are sweeter."

The "shower soprano" sings as
much for her own amusement as
for those within earshot. The song
might be quite serious as an aria
from an opera, or it might be just
as lighthearted and pointless as
the latest cigarette commercial.

The song may tell a tale of woe
and disappointment, or it may be
the cheerful optimistic voice of
one who has just made an "A" on a
paper or quiz.

Often the "shower soprano" may
sing as loudly as she pleases, and
sometimes it is necessary to sing
quietly in order not to disturb
others. Sometimes the singer is
very, very tired and can barely
drag herself into the shower, much
less sing once she gets there.

The "shower journalist" (for
want of a better term) has the
golden opportunity to have her
song heard every Wednesday after-
noon. But often other songs just
as sweet, or for the sake of
modesty, even sweeter, are never
heard, simply because people never
listen.

These unheard songs are all
around us. Daily we are confronted
with the ideas and opinions of
others and often seem to listen.
How many of us have sat in class
and realized that we have heard
only the words of the professor and
not at all what he is really trying
to say? Or, alas, not even heard
the words?

How many of us would admit
that we have ever sat in Convoca-
tion, our minds a thousand miles
away? How many of us listen to
our friends' conversations and yet
never hear the real point?

Not everyone has a beautiful
voice, but everyone does have ideas
and opinions he or she wants heard.
How much better it would be if we
would really listen to others; in
class, in formal meetings like Con-
vocation and in daily conversations
with friends.

Who knows, we might have an-
other undiscovered Maria Callas on
our campus!

Biackfriars To Present Sprightly Comedy
'Ring Round The Moon' Thursday, Friday

Tomorrow night and Friday night at 8:00, Biackfriars will
present Ring Round the Moon, a most enjoyable comedy by
Jean Anouilh, which has been adapted by Christopher Fry.

Anyone planning to attend
should be well prepared to laugh,
for no comedy could ask for more
intriguing characters or a more
involved plot.

Hugo (Bennet Banley) and Fred-
ric (Bennet Banley again) are
identical twins. Their resemblance,
however, goes no farther than
looks. Frederic, the one who
blushes, is very much in love with
the beautiful, wealthy, and spoiled
Diana Messerschmann (Marie
Hayes) .

Hugo sees a chance for some
fun at the ball where Frederic and
Diana are to announce their en-
gagement. He determines to have
someone take the spotlight from
Diana.

With a threat of scandal, Hugo
persuades Romainville (Henry
Begg), a patron of the arts, to in-
vite Isabel le (Sarah Hodges), a
young and pretty ballet dancer,
for a visit at a time which coin-
cides with the ball.

With the arrival of Isabelle and
her mother (Nancy Yontz), a wom-
an who finds it easiest to breathe
"where there's beauty and luxury,"
Hugo's scheme seems headed to-
ward success.

Very shortly, though, complica-
tions arise. Isabelle falls in love
with Hugo. It then becomes appar-
ent that Diana is interested in
Hugo, not Frederic.

Isabell's mother finds a long-
lost school chum, Capulet (Carey
Bowen), who is the rather flighty
companian of Madame Desmortes
(Lila Sheffield).

The possible catastrophe here is
that Madame Desmortes is the
Aunt of Hugo and Frederic and if
Capulet were to reveal Hugo's
plans, Madame might have a
scheme of her own that would foil
Hugo.

Madame Desmortes also has a
niece, Lady India (Marian Fort-
son), visiting her. Lady India en-
joys "being mad more than any-

thing," and thererore is at her best
when two men adore her.

In this case, Madame Desmortes'
suitors are Messerschmann (Ron-
ald Roux), Diana's melancholy
millionaire father who eats only
noodles without butter and salt,
and Patrice Bombelles (Kenneth
Haskings), Messerschmann's very
secretive secretary.

Both of the intrigues are seen
through the eyes of Madame Des-
mortes' butler, Joshua (Francis
Benjamin), who somehow manages
to keep the house running smooth-
ly through it all.

Biackfriars was very fortunate
to find five Atlanta men who were
willing to give of their time and
talent to this production. This
makes five years and six produc-
tions in which Henry Begg has
worked with the group.

cannot do their jobs alone. We can-

modification and will insist on
total repeal of the system. It is un-
likely that they will prevail in the
legislature.

If no modifying measure is
passed, it is highly probable that
the federal court will invalidate
the county unit system. It is prob-
able that the court would not be
satisfied even with the most gen-
erous proposal now before the
legislature.

In any event, the prospects for
genuine popular government in
Georgia soon are very bright to-
day.

Exchange Students Relate
Smith, Scott

Snow, large classes with smaller seminars, a wide variety
of courses and majors, and many hours of discussion on in-
tegration and the South are among the memories five Agnes
Scott girls have of their week's exchange with Smith College
in Northampton, Mass.

The biggest differences between
Smith and Scott, all agreed, were
based on size: Smith has well over
2,000 students.

As Jean McCurdy, one of the five
Scotties, said, "You can major in
many more subjects at Smith and
ake much more specialized courses,
but this is possible because Smith
is so big."

Large lecture classes with small-
er seminars were also attributed
to the overall size of the college.

Integration was the main topic
of conversation for all five. Nancy
Duvall said 'That's what we were
asked about all day long," but Ina
Jones found that the girls in her
house shied away from the subject
until they were sure that she
didn't mind discussing it.

One feature of Smith that the
girls would like to see adopted in
some form here at Scott was a
weekly faculty night when a group
could invite a professor to eat with
them and stay for coffee after-
wards.

Ina felt this helped students be-
come better acquainted with their
professors outside of class and af-
forded an opportunity for discus-
sion on topics not directly pertinent
to classwork.

Another idea that Edith Hanna
enjoyed was the hour between
breakfast and classes when every-
one gathered in the living room of
their house where morning news-
papers and current magazines were
available.

"But, please, let's not change
the dress policy," Eleanor Lee said
and was promply agreed with by
the other exchangees.

Smith has no such policy so girls
wear gym suits, shower thongs,
dangling earrings, blue jeans, or
whatever they please to class.

The Scott girls found this rather
sharply in contrast to Scott (even

"It is amazing," Jean added, "but

General academic quality was
judged remarkably similar in the

"the average Smith girl is more
interested in getting an education

disagreed with her on this point.

Alumnae To Arrive,
Attend Class Again

Saturday, April 28, a new at-
traction will excite our campus.

Approximately 450 graduates will
gather from the Classes of 1901 to
1961, including eight members of
the Class of 1912 which will be re-
uniting for its fiftieth anniversary.

The day will begin with special
lectures for the Alumnae in psy-
chology, science, English and other
subjects. At 12:30 p.m. the senior
class will be recognized at the
annual Alumnae luncheon in the
dining hall. The Alumnae president,
secretary and fund agent for the
Class of '62 will be announced, and
new officers for the Executive
Board of the Alumnae Association
will be elected.

In the afternoon additional lec-
tures will be held, and a coffee
will be given honoring the faculty.
Afterwards the classes will conduct
separate reunion activities.

During spring leisure time, juniors join in observance of National
Bike Month.

Laird Gives Pointers For May;
Bikes, Trikes Important Assets

By MARY LOU LAIRD

Hear ye! Hear ye! The "merry month of May" has a new
title. This year May is National Bike Month.

Of course, May is a week away,
but why shouldn't we be prepared?
Knowing the great influence of this
column upon the campus com-
munity, your reporter wishes to
emphasize this opportunity.

In order to take advantage to
Bike Month, one needs two things;
a bike and much free time.

Of course, we all have just
"gobs" of time so the only real
problem is getting a bicycle. Ob-
viously, the limited supply of bikes
on campus will not begin to satisfy
the demand.

A little ingenuity and imagina-
tion will alleviate this problem
quickly. There are many children
around the campus who would
consider themselves complimented
if the "big college girls" asked to
borrow their bicycles or tricycles.

Now, other obvious questions
would be what to do and where to
go on bicycles in the many free
afternoons to come. Atlanta and
Decatur aire beautiful during spring
(or haven't you noticed?)

An exhilarating bike trip to
Stone Mountain (it's only ten miles
away) or to Rich's will surely be
impressive in showing off the city's
"May flowers" (please ignore the
'garbage dumps').

Probably the best idea yet would

Industrial Historian
Speaks On Ireland

Dr. E. R. R. Green will lecture
in Maclean Thursday night at eight
o'clock on the topic "Ireland and
America." He is coming to Atlanta
under the auspices of the Universi-
ty Center.

A specialist in Irish history, Dr.
Green, born in Ireland, is Pro-
fessor of Economic History at the
University of Manchester, England.
He has taught at the University
of South Carolina and this year is
visiting professor to the Depart-
ment of Economics of the Uni-
versity of Virginia.

The Lagan Valley, 1800-1850, a
study of the development of an in-
dustrial region in northern Ireland,

currently engaged in the study of
the early industrial history of the
Midlands of England.

Dancers To Give
Spring Program

By MARY LOU LAIRD

On Friday, May 18, at 8 o'clock in Presser Hall the Agnes
Scott Modern Dance Group will present its spring program.
The performance will be free to students and faculty and
tickets may be bought at the door by visitors.

The program consists of two
suites and a solo by Miss Kay
Osborn, the group's instructor. The
theater suite has four parts. "Cat-
fish Row" from Porgy and Bess
depicts the simplicity and happiness
of life.

"Street Scene" depicts the de-
structive use of energy by young
people. The music is that of the
rumble in West Side Story.

"Hey, Look Me Over" from Wild-
cat depicts the constructive use of
energy by young people, while the
fourth part of the suite is called
"The Chains of Time" and sym-
bolizes the eternal misery of man.

The color suite has five parts.
The dancers endeavor only to inter-
pret a certain color; there are no
definite themes concerned.

Molly Dotson interprets the color
green in a swaying motion similar
to the swaying of grass and other
growing things. Similar interpreta-
tions are given to the colors red,
yellow, blue and black.

Miss Osborn will perform a solo
between the two suites. "A Child's
Fantasy" will be a dance with many
themes. It will depict the frustra-
tions and joys of childhood.

The Modern Dance group con-
sists of 16 members: Molly Dotson,
Anneke Schepman, Beth Hughston,
Peggy Frederick, Gilson Horton,
Charlotte Wyche, Julie Wells,
Paula Savage, Katie Shearer,
Nancy Duvall, Jane Fincher, Caryl

Scott Art Exhibit Displays
Work Of Bryant Scudder

The paintings and drawings of Bryant Scudder are fea-
tured in an exhibition in the Agnes Scott gallery from May
6 to May 20.

All of the work in the exhibition,
with the exception of one painting,
is being shown for the first time.
The paintings are done in oil and
the drawings with pen and ink;
they represent very recent work
of the artist.

Mrs. Scudder, associate profes-
sor of art at Agnes Scott, describes
her husbands work as "abstract
expressionism." Brilliant colors
applied in a bold manner are the
mark of Mr. Scudder's work.

The sizes of his paintings vary
from four feet by five feet to six
inches by ten inches.

An assistant professor of art at
Emory University, Mr. Scudder re-
cieved his training at the Rhode
Island School of Design and at Bos-
ton University. A Carnegie Grant
gave him the opportunity to study
abroad in France and in Italy.

While abroad, Mr. Scudder ex-
hibited his work in Florence and
at Fontainebleau, and since re-
turning to the U. S. has had a
number of shows in the Eastern
section of the country.

He previously taught at Wesley-
an College in Macon, Georgia,

where he had a gallery.

Although all of the paintings
represented in this show are done
in oil. Mr. Scudder also does work
in other media, and won the water-
color prize of the Georgia Associa-
tion of Artists for a watercolor
painting.

Job Tours Suggest
Occupational Ideas

On May 7 and 8 interested Agnes
Scott students visited the I.B.M.
Corporation and the Y.W.C.A. to
see career women at work. On
May 10 another trip is planned to
WSB Radio and Television.

This series of trips was planned
again this year by the vocational
guidance committee of the Agnes
Scott Alumnae Association because
of the enthusiastic response re-
ceived by the trips last year.

These trips were designed to give
the students the opportunity to see
successful career women on-the-
job. They learned about various
types of jobs and opportunities for
advancement.

Faculty, Administration Present
Nine Appointees For Next Year

Five academic and four staff appointments have been
announced for the 1962-63 season. The list is incomplete and
the remaining appointments will be announced at a later date.

Everett T. Reach is on joint ap- '
pointment with Emory to serve as
the Assistant Professor of Educa-
tion. Mr. Keach is presently with
the U. of Vermont having obtained
his Ph. D. at Harvard.

At the Thursday meeting Dr.
Alston will give a report of his
year's activities and of the impres-
sions he has gained by his travels
throughout the year, and will
preach the opening sermon, entitled
"The Sin Against the Future".
Election of the new moderator for
the 1962-63 term will follow.

During the past year, Dr. Alston
has traveled approximately 40,000
miles, visiting and preaching at
every synod of the Presbyterian
Church, U.S., in the United States,
and coming in contact with a wide

variety of Presbyterian Church
groups.

As moderator, his main duties
were to act as titular head of the
Presbyterian Church, U. S., for
one year and to speak and preach
to a cross-section of men's and
women's groups within the Church.

Dr. Alston's sermon, the text of
which will be taken from Zechariah
2: 1, 2, concerns "the pressing pro-
blem of standing in the present,
plotting and laboring to build the
future" of the Church.

Two new faculty members will
fill the position of Instructor in
English. Miss Mary Hart Richard-
son, a 1960 graduate of Agnes
Scott, studied at the University
College of Wales and obtained her
M. A. from Emory.

While at Scott Miss Richardson
was a member of Phi Beta Kappa
and president of Mortar Board.
Jack L. Nelson, a Kentuckian, re-
ceived his B. A. from the Universi-
ty of Kentucky and his M. A. from
Harvard. He also has a Phi Beta
Kappa key.

Robert Edward Singdahlsen will
serve as an Instructor in Speech
and Drama while Miss Elvena
Green is one leave. Mr. Singdahlsen
is a graduate of Dickinson College
and received his M. A. from Wes-
tern Reserve in Cleveland.

Serving as Visiting Professor of
Classical Languages and Litera-
tures is Mrs. P. L. Powell. She will
be at Agnes Scott during the win-
ter and spring quarters while Miss
Elizabeth Zenn is on leave.

The staff additions include
Richard C. Bahr who replaces
Mr. Tart as Treasurer. From

Dallas, he is married to a former
A. S. C. graduate.

Mrs. Delia Ray, a resident of At-
lanta, will be the Manager of the
Bookstore and Mrs. Hendrica
Schepman, mother of Anneke, will
replace the retiring Mrs. Ketchin.

Miss Elizabeth D. Smith will be
the Assistant to the Dean of Stu-
dents. She is presently working
toward her M. A. at the Presbyter-
ian School of Christian Education
in Richmond.

Art Classes Make
North Georgia Trip

Agnes Scott's art department is
sponsoring a weekend sketching
trip for art majors and other in-
terested art students on May 12
and 13.

The group will leave early on
Saturday morning and will be in
the North Georgia mountains by
noon. They will stay at a resort
house near Mt. City.

After a day of sketching and
painting the mountains and water-
falls of the area, the students hope
to take part in a local square
dance on Saturday night. They will
return to Agnes Scott after supper
on Sunday night.

Art -A Passing Fad?

For those who have been regular theater-goers, the closing
of the Tower Theater will be a great loss.

Apparently losing money, the Tower is going to be re-
modeled into a cinemascope movie theater. Granted that the
stage and seating arrangements are very poor for live pro-
ductions, the Tower nonetheless served as the chief center
of cultural productions in Atlanta.

A petition is presently being circulated to
ask the City authorities of Atlanta for a new
theater. It is certain that a theater will be
built, but the question is how long it will
take to secure funds and space for the under-
taking.

In the long interim before the new con-
struction, Atlanta will suffer from the lack
of such performances as the Atlanta Sym-
phony, Joan Baez and Hedda Gabler, to
name only a sample of the variety produced at the Tower
to this time.

If the Tower will be missed, one asks "Why?" In recent
years there has been a strong revival of interest in the cre-
ative arts whether we have Jacqueline Kennedy or the
artists to thank is debateable.

The Atlanta Journal stated after opening night at the
Opera that the audience must have regretted the lack of
social intermissions in the one act opera. Was the news-
paper's jibe friendly or was there real truth within the
comment?

How really interested are the American people in their
cultural life? Do we go to the Opera to be seen there, or for
more aesthetic reasons? Is the cultural revival *a passing fad
among the middle and upper classes, or is it arising from a
deepseated, intellectual desire to know sosmething of the
arts?

Our government is one of the few in the world that does
not subsidize private cultural enterprises. Greece maintains
within the structure of her government in a poverty-
striken country a Bureau of Fine Arts.

While city and state governments finance the building of
public auditoriums, no allowance is made for the performers
or the artists. As the Colorado Daily has pointed out, the
Lyric Opera Company of Chicago had to petition the Italian
government for $16,000 when the U. S. government was con-
tent to see them go out of business.

Certainly a cultural benefit to society is as much needed
as la monetary gain, but while the people applaud govern-
mental support of everyone and everything from tenant
farmers to huge corporations, our individual and corporate
artistic concerns go completely unaided.

The Colorado Daily has reprinted some surprising figures:
under governmental subsidy and encouragement, 85 per cent
of the Russian population are regular theater goers, in com-
parison with the attendance here of 5 per cent of the Ameri-
can people.

It would be our nation's advantage to take hold of the
current revival in the arts and give momentum to the in-
terest already aroused. And if the most we as college under-
graduates can do is to encourage through our own responses
the revival, it is our responsibility to do just that. If the least
we can do is to sign a petition for one city's theater, we
must do that until we are able to work toward large gains
in the cultural growth of the entire nation. C. W.

Jumping Class Barriers
Involves Condemnation

There is an unwritten rule on this campus which goes
something like this: "Thou shalt not break the class barriers;
thou shaft not associate with upperclassmen."

This rule obviously was made

by underclassman who would not
think of doing such a thing and
: cannot under-
; stand why one of
their peers would
;do such a thing so
terrible as prefer
' an older student's
icompany to
theirs. Perhaps
this rule was
made by the un-
derclassman out of defense; for
perhaps there is a bit of envy
from those who do riot have upper-
classmen for friends.

There should be envy attached
to such a relationship, for out of
it can come a much deeper friend-
ship that that of peer and peer.
Remember that you. whether you
like it or not. are in competition
with your peers, socially and aca-

demically. This competition forms
a barrier.

There is no such barrier in an
under-upperclassman relationship.
The result is a deeper, more lasting
relationship.

Those who overstep the class
barrier risk the condemnation of
their classmates. They not only
risk condemnation but it usually
follows. This is stupid, ridiculous
ostracization, but it happens.

Those who condemn and ostra-
cize are always those who do not
have close friends in the upper-
classes. It is most unfortunate that
they do not, for they have missed
a great deal.

Let's think twice the next time
we are about to point our fingers
at a classmate who has upper-
classmen for friends. We. not she,
are the ones who are losing out.

Common Market To Create
erous Economic Crisis

By Guest Columnist MICHAEL BROWN

Negotiations of great potential importance are at this
moment being conducted in Brussels where representatives
of Great Britain and of the six states of the European Eco-
nomic Community are trying to arrange for Britain's entry
into the so-called Common Market.

The British decision to seek
membership is of significance not
merely to the countries that are
immediately concerned, but also
to the United States and to the
entire world both communist
and free.

that most of us
can do. Our
campus has two
"beaches": Wal-
ters and Inman
porches, and we
have approxi-
mately six hun-
dred students
who wish to sun-
bathe (excluding those who
freckle, peel or prefer looking like
they just came out of some kind
of animal burrow).

After tedious measuring it has
been calculated that there are 541
(Continued on Page 4)

If Britain is accepted there is
every indication that some of the
six states now joined with her in
the European Free Trade Asso-
ciation will also seek admission.

Their inclusion in the Common
Market would create an economic
bloc of almost three hundred mil-
lion people whose governments
would be working systematically to
reduce the tariff barriers that have
separated them for generations,
and, at the same time, would be
erecting a common tariff wall
against the importation of goods
from outside tlie area.

It is at this point that the Com-
mon Market becomes of immediate
importance to us in the United
States. Export trade is a vitally
important segment of our economy,
and almost one-third of that trade
is now carried on with Western
Europe.

We cannot afford to be excluded
from that market; and yet it is un-
reasonable to believe that our
goods, produced with highly-paid
labor, will be able to surmount the
European tariff wall and still be
competitive in price with goods
produced in Europe by lower priced
labor.

Some way must be found to
break the wall down and get our
goods through and this can be
done only by reciprocal tariff
agreements.

President Kennedy is currently
asking the Congress to give him
the power to negotiate this kind of
arrangement the power to "bar-
gain down" Europe's tariff wall.

Such agreements, if they are
made, will undoubtedly make
necessary some adjustments with-
in our own economic structure, but
these need not be detrimental to
our interests.

If past experience is any guide
we may expect that an integrated
Western European economy will
grow progressively stronger; it
will become a better customer for
American goods; it will be able to
bear a larger share of the burden
of aiding and developing the emerg-
ing nations of Africa and Asia, and
it could serve to provide the im-

The Swap -A Flop?

The question of the value of the Smith-Scott exchange has
been debated and discussed in formal and informal groups
since the program was first belatedly announced. The five
students who participated directly in the venture have been
questioned in hub discussions and a recent student forum as
well as reporting their impressions individually to those in-
terested.

It seems quite natural that these five
should consider the trip worthwhile for
they received the most direct gain since
they have had the opportunity to travel
to another school, to observe and take
part in the academic and social life of an-
other college.

They have been able to learn more perhaps
about the Northern mind and the stands on
various issues which it traditionally seems
to take. They have returned to Agnes Scott with a better
understanding of a school which is highly reknowned for
its academic rating among the Eastern liberal arts girls'
colleges.

Then, too, they have returned also with a clearer under-
standing of ' Scott, its strengths and its weaknesses in com-
parison with Smith.

But the main basis of dissent among those who oppose
the continuation of the program is the question of the
good of the exchange for the entire college, including its
faculty and students.
For some sections of the campus, the visit has accomplished
nothing. Some simply observed the notices of the forth-
coming visits and the girls themselves as they attended
classes or sat in the Hub.

Some of us read the signs announcing the discussions of
the five who participated in the exchange and some of us
simply settled back into our apathy concerning local events.
For these the exchange was a waste of time.
For those of us who did spend the early morning hours dis-
cussing various issues with the Smith girls and who did
attend" the later evaluations, the program has performed a
purpose.

The girls who went to Smith have presented us with some
of their impressions and opinions and many differences in
the nrocedures of the two schools in various circumstances.
Many of these procedures are now being carefully con-
sidered by students with the possibility of incorporating
them into the organizations of the campus.
From the Smith girls who visited here we have obtained
opinions reflecting the Eastern metropolitan mind and have
been able to see the differences and numerous similarities
which many of us did not realize existed.

Exchange of ideas is always desirable if each side gains
a better insight to the people with whom they come in con-
tact and about whom thev have read.

Any program which stimulates such learning and familiar
confnet with persons who differ from those with whom we
hnhituallv associate is recommendable if the program, in
pddition. presents us with a better understanding of our-
selves as well. N.B.

'Roun-Town

New Area Restaurants Offer
Various Unique Atmospheres

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

How's your appetite? Your appetite for elegance, for ro-
mantic atmosphere, for the excitement of a place where you
have never been before?

of Atlanta.

There is talk of how marvelous
Atlanta's newest restaurant, THE
COACH and SIX, is but my per-
sonal opinion Is definitely to the
contrary. Everything is average but
the prices.

You'll find the ultimate in
romance at THE KING'S INN,
where violinists stroll among the
tables, and where waiters serve
barbecued shrimp on flaming
daggers.

Don't plan to do anything after
dinner but sit talking and enjoy-
ing the high-priced atmosphere.

Then take a walk down Peach-
tree. It's not Broadway or the
Champs Elyssee, but it has a charm
unique unto itself.

Here's hoping you enjoy your din-
ner 'Roun-Town.

Appetite keen? Then convince
the most likely man in your life
that he should take you to one of
Atlanta's newer,
more fun, dining
spots.

This is a guar-
anteed cure for
any slump, and I
suggest it now to
avoid the let-
down you may be
expecting after
the glitter and the glory of opera
week.

FAN and BILL'S is very New
Yorkish, from the swan faucets in
the pink powder room to the
silver urn that decorates your
table, bearing delicacies on ice-
among which are the biggest olives
in Atlanta.

You'll find yourself at the tip-
top of town at the TOP O' PEACH-
TREE. The dining room looks out
over the golden-domed capitol to
the east, and the cocktail lounge
has an equally exciting view of the
west. Your ginger ale will never
have seemed so like champagne!

Take a cut in altitude and it will
pay big dividends in good food at
the TOP of the MART, one of the
famous Stouffer restaurants. You'll
dine on the edge of a tea garden
where flowers and shrubs are
blooming. You shouldn't pass up
the roquefort dressing, the almost-
authentic French bread, and the
apple-walnut upside-down pie.
After your delicious dinner, you can
stroll around gazing at the skyline

Group Makes
Arts Fund Gift

A sum totaling approximately
five hundred dollars has been do-
nated to a newly created fine arts
fund at Agnes Scott.

The money came from an unex-
pected surplus from last year's
Fine Arts Festival, and was voted
on by a committee to be spent in
this way.

It is hoped that other contribu-
tions will enable the eventual pur-
chase of a work of lasting beauty
and value for the school.

Exchange Participant Lee
Voices Personal Opinions

By ELEANOR LEE

We feel it is necessary to give fuller and deeper thought
to the Smith Exchange Program than has been done. I feel
the News did not present the program in a favorable light in
their feature story of April 26. We do not wish to leave the
campus with its present impression.

There are three ideas which

arose from our Smith visit which
I would like to present to the stu-
dents here.

The first of these ideas is
Smith's independent study pro-
gram. Smith has established an
Interim which is on a trial basis
for three years. After the students
return from Christmas holidays,
they have a three week period in
which no classes are held. During
this time the student is given the
opportunity to do independent
study, which is work done at her
own desire for her own benefit.

Each year they have a theme,
and this year it was the Far East.
Because the college has no spe-
cialists in this area, it invited out-
side speakers. Since the Interim
of the present year, criticisms
have arisen from faculty and out-
siders such as: (1.) Many girls
took it as a three week skiing va-
cation, (2.) Many freshmen and
sophomores did not know what to
do with themselves, and (3.) As
an Amherst boy said, the Smith
students were lost without their
assignments. With these criticisms,
the program will probably be im-
proved upon and revised for next
year.

The Interim is geared to those
students in the college who are
sincerely interested in gaining as
much as possible out of their edu-
cation. This is the level at which
an academic institution should be
oriented. Some of the faculty at
Agnes Scott hesitate in taking
such a progressive step, for they
fear the students are not ready
for it.

The primary value of an Interim
is that the studying done during
this period is completely self-
oriented. There are no papers or
quizzes hanging over anyone's
head. If a student takes advantage
of the week, it will prove to be
most valuable. If she doesn't, it is
her own loss.

A second idea gained through
the Exchange is that of an opin-
ionated newspaper. Two girls at
Smith have organized such a
paper, The Reverberator. Actually
it is a combination of literary criti-
cisms and opinionated views on
different school and political
issues.

The paper invites critical think-
ing and encourages people to ex-
press their views. Students, facul-

ty, administration, and any out-
siders are invited to submit arti-
cles. Do you believe that if the
Agnes Scott News should publish
a paper of this type, that they
would receive support, and that
you would be willing to submit
articles?

As most of the campus has
gathered from our discussions and
from the discussions of the Smith
girls themselves, one of their pri-
mary objectives was to learn opin-
ions on the integration situation.
One of the most valuable outcomes
of the Exchange was having the
opportunity to express the South-
ern points of view.

The Smith students were
shocked not only to find out that
all Southerners are not segrega-
tionists, but also to discover that
there is some validity in the se-
gregationist point of view.

A few obstinate integrationists
would not try to understand how
anyone could believe in segrega-
tion. Many, however, were glad to
become more familiar with the
situation in the South, and some
admitted that they would proba-
bly be segregationists if they
lived here. Being an integration-
ist myself, I found a couple of
people determined to make me a
segregationist; they were quite
disappointed when I wouldn't con-
form to what they considered the
Southern norm.

On the whole, the students with
whom I talked were good and will-
ing listeners and had a sincere in-
terest in the problem. Some of the
girls said honestly that they
thought there was as much racial
prejudice in the North as there
v/as in the South, but that it was
concealed by an outward profess-
ing of the integration ideal.

In conclusion, I would like to
say that valuable ideas have been
gained from the Exchange which
could possibly be incorporated into
our system. The program afforded
an opportunity to share opinions
on certain political, social and
academic questions. As a result the
five of us have acquired a higher
regard for Agnes Scott because we
consider it equal to Smith (in some
areas superior and in some in-
ferior). Do not ever think you
ought to apologize for Scott when
comparing it to the northern
schools!

Volleyball Participation Drags;
Frosh, Juniors In First Place Tie

By MARILYN LITTLE

And who saw the run-off Volleyball match between the
Juniors and the Freshmen last Friday? To you who are
vitally interested in its outcome, as I'm sure all of you are,
the Freshmen won overwhelmingly. But who watched them?

At this important and decisive
game, there were five Freshmen
and three males (class standing
unidentified).

Actually, such a quantity indi-
cates a tremendous turn-out, in
view of t>ooley's and Hub bridge
games.

This superb example of class sup-
port certainly did help team mor-
ale.

The Senior class's morale was
so high, they had to forfeit.

Due credit goes to the Sopho-
mores, however, who turned out an
entire six-player team.

At any rate, and for the record,
the Freshmen and the Juniors are
now tied for first place, each hav-
ing four wins to one loss.

The Sophomores are nearly bat-
ting average with two wins to
three losses, and the Seniors are
struggling successfully to maintain
their perfect record of five losses.

Next week, if a quorum of play-
ers is present, the Seniors will
battle the Juniors, and the Sopho-
mores will vie with the Freshmen.

The Championship will be decid-
ed by the outcome of these two
duels . . . so . . .

If you haven't been to a game
yet, or if you haven't attended
regularly, try, at least, to see these.

You'll be seeing Volleyball at its
best; you'll be supporting your
class, and you'll be having fun do-
ing it.

But don't take my word for it,
go and see for yourself.

Hub-Bub

(Continued from Page 2)

sq. ft. of legal sunbathing space.
Using approximate, but fairly
accurate, figures, there are 6,600
sq. ft. of girls who wish to sun-
bathe.

Even the poorest of mathe-
maticians can readily see that
6,059 sq. ft. of sunbathing space
are sadly lacking. Only fifty
students can be accommodated
at one time. For all to be accom-
modated at the same time it
would necessitate twelve layers
of sunbathers. Or with one layer
during the best hours of the day
each girl could have twenty-four
seconds apiece.

The story gets even sadder when
it is realized that the sun does not
fully reach these areas until 12:00
noon. This means that in order to
get a place in the sun one must
get up about 5:30 A.M. and save
a sunny space with a towel. Hence,
for these reasons many never get
under "the big eye" until they go
home for summer vacation.

Is it absolutely necessary that
the situation remain this way?
With a minimum of effort and
cost it would seem that a large
enough area could be cleared for
the purpose down by the cabin.

The sunbathers would not be in
public view and would be com-
pletely removed from the campus.
They would also be near a tele-
phone, running water and smoking
facilities.

Others might have even better
ideas. Let's see if we can't all put
our heads together and come up
with a more satisfactory situation.

Campus
Countdown

By LINDA WILSON

Maybe it's just the Post-Easter
slump, but it seems you Scotties
aren't working hard enough for
that ring or pin. Let's get on the
stick, girls!

Lana Muellen is engaged to
Gwyn Jordan, who was a Beta at
Tech and is now with J. Gwyn
Jordan & Co. Their wedding date
is set for November 17.

Sandy Johnson is walking on
clouds since she received her ring
from Johnny Barrow, a Phi Delt at
Tech, who .graduates this year.
They haven't set the day as yet.

Another happy girls these days is
Mary Edson. Her fiancee is John
Knight, a TKE at Tech who plans
to work for Goodyear after gradu-
ation. Their wedding will be Sep-
tember 1.

J ere Zollicoffer, an SAE at Tech
is the reason for the sparkle in
Judy Hawley's eyes and the spark-
ler on her finger. They plan to be
married on December 21 at Sea
Island, Georgia.

Two more girls have joined the
Wearers-of-the-Pin, that exclusive
campus society. Jean Crawford is
pinned to John Cross, a Delt at
Tech, while Jane Patterson sports
the Beta pin of Emory Le well en,
also a Techman.

If the smile on Gru's face has
seemed to fade a bit, it's because
Gehli has pooh-poohed our poor
Gru!

Committee Reviews
Values Of Vespers

What are vespers for? This is
the question that several students
have been trying to answer since
winter quarter.

A committee, composed of Lucy
Morcock, Jean Hoefer, Molly Snead
and Sylvia Pruitt, was organized as
a result of the concern of students
and faculty members for the ves-
per program.

After talking to Dr. Alston and
interviewing faculty members, the
committee suggested improve-
ments that may be put into effect
next year.

Some of their suggestions were
singing more hymns before the
service begins, increasing the at-
mosphere of worship by using a
worship center, and asking speak-
ers to choose topics of vital interest
to them.

The Vespers Committee stressed
the importance of keeping vespers
a worship service.

For the remainder of the year
several special programs have been
planned. May 10 will be the instal-
lation of Service Council members
and interfaith officers. After the
AA picnic on May 16 Mr. Nelson
will have vespers on the hockey
field.

Faculty members who will lead
the other vesper programs are Mr.
Michael McDowell, Miss Ham,
Miss Kay Manuel, Mr. Charles
Martin, Miss Eleanor Hutchens,
Miss Margaret Phythian, Mrs. Mar-
garet Pepperdene, Mrs. Elizabeth
Stack, Mr. Robert Westervelt, Miss
Laura Steele and Mr. Edward Mc-
Nair.

Internationally

(Continued from Page 2)
petus for a dramatic expansion of
trade among the free countries of
the world.

These and other developments
may be anticipated even if Britian
does not join Europe's economic
community, but if she does join
they will be more certain and more
pronounced.

A number of obstacles still stand
in the way of Britain's member-
ship. The most important of these
concerns her relations with the
states of the Commonwealth.

Great Britian has major com-
mitments to these countries whose
economies have been built to a
large extent upon the premise of
free entry into the British market.

The British are determined not
to do anything to disrupt the econo-
mies of these nations which in-
clude the largest of the emerging
states of Asia.

Fortunately, the Common
Market governments are sympathe-
tic to these problems and, with
good faith operating on both sides
of the conference table, there is
good reason to hope that satisfac-
tory solutions will be found and
that the great and exciting project
of building an economically and,
ultimately, politically integrated
"United States of Europe" will
move forward, gradually obliterat-
ing the nationalistic strife which
has been the source of so much evil
and suffering over the centuries.

Alumnae Reconvene
For Reunion Activity

By LIL HARRIS

During the weekend of April 28, the Agnes Scott campus
witnessed a mass visitation of five hundred and ten alumnae.
The occasion was especially memorable to the class of 1912,
which celebrated its fiftieth reunion then.

To the alumnae, the varied

activities planned no doubt were
an incentive to return. After re-
ceiving numerous requests for some
kind of intellectual stimulation
over the weekend, the industrious
Alumnae office decided to initiate
the attractive program of faculty
lectures.

Two professors in each of six
academic areas, including science.
English, and history, were invited
to speak, one in the morning and
the other in the afternoon.

The alumnae were entertained
with such lectures as Mr. Swarfs
"The French Are They Indivi-
duals?" and Miss Bridgman's "The
Effects of Radiation in Genetics."
There was an enthusiastic response
to this innovation.

Having attended to the necessary
class business at class council meet-
ings, the alumnae assembled in the
dining hall for the annual meeting
and luncheon.

Traditionally Dr. McCain gave
the blessing and then Dr. Alston
greeted the guests. He was intro-
duced by Miss Hutchens who, as
president of the Alumnae Asso-
ciation, conducted the luncheon.

Special guests were Mr. J. C.
Tart and Miss Annie Mae Christie.

In honor of their outstanding serv-

given standing ovations.

After the Blackfriars' play "Ring
Around The Moon," which drew a
large crowd of alumnae, the week-
end reached a climax with the re-
union functions held by individual
classes.

Having been denied the oppor-
tunity for four years, the Class of
'61 eagerly met in the Faculty Club,
otherwise known as the "Flub."
Theirs was among the many dinner
parties that concluded a rewarding
weekend for many Agnes Scott
alumnae.

Alston Names Annual Awards

Thomas Calls
Voting Quorum

Thursday in chapel the student
body will vote on the by-laws of
the new student government con-
stitution, which must be approved
before the publication of the new
Handbook.

In order to transact business one-
fourth of the student body, 160
people, are required to be in atten-
dance.

A copy of the by-laws is posted
in the mailroom. The major
changes in the constitution include
the organization of the Day Stu-
dent Council, the procedure in
establishing and suspending stu-
dent organizations, and the proce-
dure for changing the name of a
publication.

The Day Student Council will
include a chairman and an advisor,
representatives to Representative
Council, and a representative to
Joint House Council.

The establishment of a new stu-
dent organization will require ap-
proval of a committee composed of
heads of campus organizations and
the approval of a written constitu-
tion by two-thirds vote of Repre-
sentative Council and by the Ad-
ministrative Committee.

Suspension of any organiza-
tion will call for a two-thirds vote
of Representative Council to re-
commend the suspension and the
approval of the recommendation by
the Administrative Committee.

To change the name of a publi-
cation, the editor will appeal to
Representative Council for per-
mission, a student poll of suggested
names will be taken and Repre-
sentative Council will choose two
to four names which must be ap-
proved by the Administrative Coun-
cil and voted on by the student
body.

The name receiving a majority of
votes will be posted for one week
and must receive a two-thirds vote
of students present at the next stu-
dent meeting for its adoption.

Other by-laws submitted for ap-
proval are the organization and
election of Joint House Council, the
specifications for offices, the pro-
cedure for extraordinary situations
and the proposal and approval of
amendments.

The student body will also vote
on the acceptance of the proposed
budget for next year.

McKinney Book Award winner Sharon Atkins instructs the Ken-
tucky debaters before their meet of January 18.

Sharon Atkins Wins
Annual Book Award

Books are the "open sesame" to many avid readers, open-
ing many new avenues of thought and adventure. The Louise
McKinney Book Award, awarded today in chapel to Sharon
Atkins, seeks to awaken us to this heritage we have in books.

Each year art award of $50 is
given to the Agnes Scott student
who, in the opinion of the judges,
acquires during the current year
from May to May the most inter-
esting and discriminating personal
library and reveals a real under-
standing of her books.

The award is to be used to buy
more books, records, concert
tickets or anything which will
bring aesthetic pleasure to the win-
ner.

The first book award was estab-
lished in 1931 to encourage love of
reading and delight in ownership as
a tribute to Miss Louise McKinney,
professor emeritus of English. Miss
McKinney, at 94, is still an avid
reader; she believes "a love of
reading is one of the most valuable
things one can acquire."

The collection, consisting of at
least 15 books, may be concerned
with one field or may cover several
fields of interest. The main pur-
pose is to exhibit a love of owning
books and reading them. Those
interested in entering the contest

should hand their names in to a
member of the English department
by the end of fall quarter, but are
urged to do so before school is out
in order that full advantage may
be taken of the summer reading
period.

On Friday, May 18, the collec-
tions were judged by Miss Janef
Newman Preston, chairman, Mrs.
Byers, Miss Mary Rion, Miss Chloe
Steel, and guest judge, Mrs. Betsy
Fancher, public relations director
of the college and an author in her
own right. The book collections
were examined and an informal in-
erview was held with each contest-
ant to insure that, the student real-
ly knew her books, and to provide
a personal contact with the col-
lector.

Other contestants included:
Georgia Gillis, Sigrid Hanson, Lil-
lian Harris, Ina Jones, Jane Kel-
ley, Nancy Phillips and Marijke
Klein Wassink. All the collections
will be on display in the Main
Reading Room of the library all
this week.

Actors, Debaters
Awards For Achievement

Members of Blackfriars and Pi Alpha Phi were honored
this morning in Convocation for outstanding contributions
to their organizations.

Recipient of the George P. Hayes
Debate Trophy was Sarah Adams.
This award is offered by Agnes
Scott Alumnae Mrs. Preston Mac-
intosh and Mrs. Larry E. Peclrick,
who established it four years ago
to go to the best debater of the
year.

Sarah was awarded this trophy
by a faculty committee composed
of Chairman Walter B. Posey, Dr.
Lee Copple and Dean C. Benton
Kline in consultation with Dr.
Hayes. Mrs. Macintosh made the
presentation.

Blackfriars awarded three hon-
ors this morning. The Bennett
Award for Best Acting went to
Marian Fortson. This trophy is giv-
en in honor of Mrs. Claude S. Ben-
nett (Estelle Chandler), an alumna
of Agnes Scott, and was first
awarded in 1932. Judges for this
award were Mrs. Newton Hodgson,
a graduate of the American
Academy of Dramatic Art; Mr.
Percy Hearle, Director of Public
Relations for WAGA-TV, and Mrs.
Ed Garret (Ida Lois McDaniel), life
member of Blackfriars. Mrs. Garret
announced the decision of the
judges.

Established in 1959 the Kimmel
Award is offered each year by

Friday evening will be filled

Nancy Kimmel (Class of '58) and
her mother as a memorial to her
father, Marley R. Kimmel. The
donors wished any Blackfriar to be
eligible for this trophy, acting or
non-acting.

The trophy is set up "To honor
the member of Blackfriars who, at
the decision of the judges: the
directors, president, vice-president,
secretary, treasurer, and stage
manager of Blackfriars, has made
the outstanding contribution to
Blackfriars' productions during the
school year in which the award is
given." This year the Kimmel
Award was also given to Marian
Fortson.

Third of the Blackfriars' honors
to be awarded this year was a part
scholarship to a summer theater.

Seniors Announce
Graduation Events

As commencement looms less
than three weeks away, the senior
class is making big plans for the
graduation weekend.

A class picnic for the seniors at
Fritz Orr's on Friday, June 8, will
launch the activities of commence-
ment week end. Class day follows
the next afternoon at four o'clock.

This will include the traditional
daisy chain carried by the sopho-
mores and a senior class skit under
the direction of Lucy Forrester.
The graduating class will make its
gift to the school at this time.

A senior speech program will be
held Saturday night at eight
o'clock, followed by a book burning
ceremony in front of Main. The
capping of the juniors takes place
immediately after the burning
ritual, and then there is to be a
campus sing.

Dr. Alston will deliver the bacca-
laureate sermon at eleven o'clock
Sunday morning. At five o'clock:
Sunday afternoon senior vespers
will be led by Carey Bowen.

The faculty, family and friends of
the seniors are invited to a dinner
with the graduating class in the
dining hall that evening, and a
coffee will be given in Rebekah by
Dr. Alston immediately afterwards.

The week end will have its
climatic event on Monday morning
at ten o'clock when the seniors
cross the May Day Dell to receive
their hard-earned diplomas.

A Few Orchids

We take the quality of our administration pretty much
for granted here at Scott. We never think it at all unusual
that Dr. Alston knows each student by name, that Miss
Scandrett frequently entertains students in her home, or
that Mr. Kline is available to us at any time.

As natural as all of this seems to us, it is
far from the normal student-administration
relationship as it exists on other campuses.

Some Emory students will see their Presi-
dent face to face for the first time at gradu-
ation. Tech annually holds what amounts to
sanctioned student body interrogation of the
President.

Vassar's President recently set her stu-
dents and the eastern newspapers on fire
WLttPher lack of discretion while presenting school policies
to the student body. Why is Agnes Scott's situation unique?

It would be flattering to think that the excellent relation-
ship between administration and students which exists here
is typical because of the attitudes of the students them-
selves. But this is not the case.

We complain about everything in the school from the
picnic policy to the lights (the lack of them) in the library.
And if we could find anything wrong we would not be above
criticizing the administration.

The combination of a small student body and the personal
dedication of the members of the administration is respon-
sible for the unique student-administration relationship. They
quite literally followed "open door" policy is one of the most
precious aspects of the college. C.W.

Brain Parasites

"Brain Parasite." It sounds like a science fiction shocker,
but the term unfortunately has a factual application. I use
it to refer to all those who continuously utilize their time
thinking of new ways and means to secure knowledge with
no work.

These are the students who are never able
to get through a course unless they borrow
someone else's notes; those who manage to
leave labs two hours early because they are
blessed with a patsy of a lab partner who,
they feel sure, doesn't mind cutting up two
formidable frogs or taking "extra good"
notes on the ever exciting demonstrations;
and last of these exemplary classmates are
the language students who learn French or
Spanish or German from those handy little English trans-
lations that are found at the corner bookstore.

The set-up may sound ideal, but to misquote Mom's
favorite cliche, "It hurts you more than it does me!"

Already I can imagine the poetic voices of dissent asking,
"How can this thing you say be true, For no work I get credit
where no credit's due?"

Credit, perhaps; benefit, no. The only lasting reward for a
parasite is the dubious friendship of other "borrowing bud-
dies" and the even more dubious esteem of their "hosts."

The "borrowing" form of intellectual dishonesty cannot
he ruled out in the handy dandy handbook. No definite
lines can be drawn stating what is fair in this war of
education*

Basic ideas concerning footnoting and outright cheating
are clearly defined; but the "just this once" kind of borrow-
ing of scholastic material that lasts a whole year stands out
clearly only in annoyance to those who have the often
unfortunate reputation for good note-taking.

In a college such as Agnes Scott, scholastic competition is
generally high. How long will it remain so if a good student
knows she must compete with herself? This is just what
"Brain robbery" can do.

If one good student continually supplies several others
with her lecture notes before a big quiz, she is, in a large
souse, competing with herself. True, the parasitic problems
pass each quiz; but other than that, what do their helpful
hosts do for them, except perhaps aid in the development of
depending on others?

Biologically speaking, the only answer I can suggest is an
attempt at symbiotic living. In other words, "do your own
work," and all good Scotties will live happilv ever after.

The degree to which any college student can successfully
practice self-survival in the academic realm is purely per-
sonal. There is no proverbial "watch bird" who sees you
when you practice the fine art of parasitic living, no hand-
book to give a printed NO!

There is only the individual conscience, a desire for a real
education, or just an adult outlook and acceptance of aca-
demic responsibility. If all these fail some good students
can perhaps develop a cheerful and giving nature! C.F.

Hub-bub

Columnist Suggests
Spirited Awareness

By JULIA PRATHER

About two or three weeks before school is over the campus
begins to resemble a New Year's Eve party. Hastily, I add
that this is in the sense that everyone begins to make reso-
lutions. However, instead of being resolutions for the New
Year, these resolutions are for the summer and next fall
quarter,

Girls who are a bit overweight
firmly vow to lose at least ten

pounds o\

summer. Thinner
girls may vow to
gain at least ten.

People also
vow to exercise
at least once a
I day, either just
I on the floor or
I Through sports.

And everyone
I is going to brush
hundred times daily
and do other things to improve
themselves.

Some people make resolutions
to read a certain number of books
per week, read newspapers and
news magazines, and faithfully
correspond with all their friends.

Others may be determined to
learn to type, learn to sew, or
learn to cook.

Others may intend to learn no-
thing, but to catch a man and
have a good time.

Everyone resolves that next
fall quarter they aren't going

to let themselves get in the posi-
tion they are now.

We're all going to never cut
classes, study each subject daily,
write papers ahead of time, and
completely turn over a new leaf.

I have two resolution sugges-
tions to be made as a student
body. Just walk in the Hub and
you'll agree we need not only to
vow we will keep it clean, but
act upon this vow.

When we come back it will be
clean, waxed, etc., and there is
NO EXCUSE to let it get in the
condition it is now.

Also recent attendance at Chapel
programs show that we need to
make a resolution for next year
concerning this. When we return,
various people and organizations
will have worked hard preparing
programs. We sadly need to take
more interest in this phase of
campus activity.

Here's hoping we keep both our
individual resolutions, and the
ones we SHOULD make as a stu-
dent body.

when it comes to

In case some have forgotten what
the handbook has to say on this
subject, allow me to quote:

enterprises of piracy.

The town-dwellers of Barbary
are, in the main ; "Arabized" in
language, way of life, and in cul-
ture. The country-dwellers are
often, in the more remote moun-
tainous parts of Algeria and Mo-
rocco, purely Berber in speech and
in custom. The Berbers are all pro-
fessing Moslems.

Today the light of new Moslem
modernism shines from Egypt, and
that country enjoys a prodigious
prestige in Barbary. The area of
Berber speech has been gradually
reduced ever since the Moslem
conquest in the seventh centuryi
but probably a third of the people
of Barbary will speak Berber as
their mother-tongue.

From a population figure of 2.5
million in 1856, the estimate taken
in 1961 gave the population of
Algeria as 10.8 million people of
whom 9.7 million were Moslems.
A Short History
In 1048 the Beni Hillal pillaged
Cyrenaica, Tripolitania and Kai-
rouan and swept through the
Maghreb. They destroyed all the
sources of the old prosperity. The
olive groves and the irrigation
works were laid waste. Thence-
forth, when the riches of Spain
failed, the men of the Maghreb
turned to piracy.

In 1536 Mohammed Hassan or-
ganized the country as a Turkish
vilayet whose main revenues were
derived from piracy.

In 1710 the pirate state became
practically independent. Its inter-
nal conditions went from bad to
worse. Even the United States was
at war with Algeria in 1783, and in
1815 the Washington government
imposed its terms on the Dey. A
combined Anglo-Dutch force bom-
barded Algiers in 1816.

On June 14, 1830 French forces
landed south of Algiers beginning
an invasion which continued for a
period of 28 years. In March, 1848,
a decree was issued by the French
Government declaring Algeria "an
integral part of France."

"The Algerian Revolution
On November 1, 1954, the Al-
gerian Revolution broke out under
the leadership of the National
Liberation Front.

The Secret Army Organization
came into being under the leader-
ship of Gen. Raoul Salan.

In February, 1962, a cease-fire
agreement was announced at
Evian-les-Bains by Louis Joxe,
head of the French negotiating
team.

Highlights of Agreement

All Algerian citizens will vote in
a referendum in which they may
choose whether:

They uxmt Algeria to remain an

Students Receive
Honors At Picnic

A. A. Community Day last Wednesday was proclaimed by
all (all who went) to be a great success. Everyone seemed
to be really enjoying themselves at this annual event.

Tennis and Volleyball matches

opened the festivities. The faculty
defeated our Varsity in a close
and exciting game, and Betsy
Schenck and Molly Snead over-
came Marijke Klein- Wassink and
Georgia Gillis for the Tennis
Doubles Championship.

Freshmen Win

The highlight of the fun-filled
picnic was the presentation of
awards to the winners of the past
year's sports activities. The Fresh-
men, of course, copped the Ath-
letic Cup, as they have won the
majority of sports.

To their credit goes the cham-
pionship in Hockey, Swimming,
and Volleyball. The Sophomores
claim of championship rights in
Basketball marks the only other
class to win a team event besides
the victorious Frosh.

Individual awards went to Ann
Middlemas for the Golf Champion-
ship; to Margaret Smith for Bad-
minton Singles; and to Betsy
Schenck for Tennis. Margaret and
Missy White copped Badminton
Doubles, while Betsy and Molly
Snead took Tennis Doubles.
Athletic Keys

Athletic Keys, earned by 240
points worth of hard work, good
cooperation, and exceptional skill
in athletic activities, were given
to the following seniors: Ann

Hutchinson, Dot Porcher, Meade
Boswell, Beth Hendee, Caroline A.
Hughes, Anne Thomas, and a
junior, Lelia Jones.

Special recognition was given to
Ann Hutchinson and Dot Porcher,
President and Vice-President, re-
spectively, of 1961-1962 A. A.

The Junior Class proudly re-
ceived the Trophy for Best Spirit
and Sportsmanship.

Hearty congratulations go out

Warren Exhibits Art
In Columbus Museum

Mr. Ferdinand Warren opened a
one-man show at the Columbus
Museum of Art and Crafts last
weekend. Mr. Warren was honored
at an opening reception at the
museum on May 22. The show will
be on exhibition for three weeks.

Included in the show are 25
paintings and drawings. Mr. War-
ren selected the works from dif-
ferent phases in his painting career.

One of the paintings on exhibit
is "Shrimp Boats" for which Mr.
Warren was recently awarded the
Edwin Palmer Memorial prize. The
Columbus Museum has in its per-
manent collection two of Mr. War-
ren's paintings: "Gullah Lullaby"
in oil, and "Jezebel" in encaustics.

This exhibition is the fifteenth
one-man show in which Mr. War-
ren's work has been featured.
Other shows have been held in
New York, Kansas City, Tampa,
Knoxville, Chattanooga, Maryville,
Atlanta, Decatur, Athens, Milledge-
ville, Augusta and Savannah.

Tempo

(Continued from Page 2)
Quiet Hours are especially im-
portant at this point in the quar-
ter. At this time they are the
hardest to keep as the weather
has forced all windows and doors
open.

Since Quiet Hours were taken
cff the call down system four
years ago, the situation has gotten
progressively worse. They have
become the subject of long dis-
cussion in House Councils all over
campus. No penalty for the abuse
of Quiet Hours has as yet been
given but if they continue to
be abused, a penalty may result.
I do not feel that call downs
or campuses will solve the prob-
lem. I feel that we are mature
enough to solve the problem be-
fore it gets out of hand. If we
can reinstate the "noisy" half-
hour from 10:00 p.m. to 10:30
p.m., part of the problem would
be solved. The students would
then have a time to "let off
steam."

Notice I said part of the prob-
lem. The rest of the problem is
up to us, as individuals.

City Entertainments Hold
Cultural Non-activity Time

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

It's Non-Activity Week on campus and from the looks of
things, it's Non-Activity Week 'Roun-Town.

If there has ever been a slow
week in Atlanta entertainmen-
wise, this is it. Probably it's a good
thing no distractions from
studies! Some
people, however,
like to be dis-
tracted.

If you're one of
those who do,
there are a few
things of interest
to fill your stolen
hours. Actually,
some law or other says you accom-
lish much more in less time if
you take an occasional break.

If you only have time for a
movie, see JUDGMENT AT
NUREMBERG, with Spencer
Tracy it's being held over at
Lowe's Grand. Go early, it's a
long one.

You might also enjoy THE
CHILDREN'S HOUR with Audrey
Hepburn at the Fine Art Cinema.

You should see something on
the lighter side, but the offering
is meager.

The most enjoyable way to
spend an afternoon away from
the books would be skiing and sail-
ing at LAKE LANIER or ALT A-
TOONA. Several fraternities are
planning such outings get your-
self invited or agree to a blind
date. You can enjoy the water and
the sun even if your date is a
complete dud!

The cultural offering in Atlanta
this week is meager, too. You will
be delighted, however, by a show
of pastels and paintings by chil-
dren of Tokyo on display in the
YOUNG PEOPLE'S GALLERY of
the Art Association.

And in case you missed the
original show, the Painting of the
Year exhibit has been moved to
the Atlanta Public Library.

A dining spot has been recom-
mended by several juniors. It's
THE PLANTATION HOUSE. Un-
der the same management as
Dale's Cellar, it serves the same
meat at two-thirds the price.

If, as late as June 1, you dare
set foot off the campus, a sure
bet for a pleasurable evening is
the first ATLANTA POP CON-
CERT.

Classical, popular, jazz, and
Broadway show selections are all
a part of an evening and it's
free!

And that's the best of entertain-
ment this week why not stay
home and study? Absolutely not?
Well then, see you 'Roun-Town?

of hostilities in the whole of Al-
geria and trouble for De Gaulle.
The French and Agreement

The optimist: The agreement is
much better than anyone had
hoped for 50% of Sahara oil,
keeping Mers-el-Kebir, fair treat-
ment for the "European" minority.
And the Algerian war is over.

The pessimist: Agreements mean
nothing unless backed by force:
"Look at the Suez canal." The
minute the French forces are out
violent social revolution will take
place. Sahara oil, security of
shipping in the Mediterranean will
be lost for France and for the
West.

Consequences

It has been said that there is
more oil in Sahara, and Libya
(Anglo-American-Italian) than in
the whole Midle East. So, one way
to look at the question is this:
"The power who will control North
Africa will control Libyan-Sa-
haran oil resources, the western
entrance of the Mediterranean,
the shipping from Europe to the
South Atlantic and the access to
Central Africa (Congo).

the OAS?

Faculty Summer Plans
Vary In Subject Matter

By LAURA HAWES

With summer approaching, and wander-lust affecting all
the campus, many members of the faculty and staff are
planning projects in their fields which will take them
geographically far a-field.

Modern American Literature has
been added and the English Novel
course has been expanded to cover
2 quarters. Lastly the Canterbury
Tales will be offered every year
instead of alternating with Beo-
wulf.

Two new courses will be taught
by the French Department. They
are Poetry and Prose of 16th
Century and Voltaire and The
Philosophical Movement.

Contemporary Southern Politics
is a new course in the Political
Science field.

Topology is the only new Mathe-
matics course, while the Music
Department will add three courses.
They are Intermediate Theory and
Musicianship, Vocal Literature and
Ensemble.

In the Philosophy Department
Mrs. Walker will teach Post-Kan-
tian Philosophy, and Miss Osborne
will offer an Introduction to the
Dance in the Drama Department.

All other departments will offer
no new courses.

Miss Chloe Steel will sail June
8 for Paris, where she will spend
much but not all of her time
in the Bibliotheque Nationale, pre-
paring a chapter on Balzac's liter-
ary reputation for her dissertation.

Germany and Spain respectively
will be summer headquarters for
Annette Teague and Miss Herbert.
Annette will work on her master's,
nd Miss Herbert will participate in
an N.D.E.A. workshop.

Miss Clark will also be in Europe
this summer purely for pleasure.
Her tentative plans include France,
Italy and Greece.

Miss Cilley will voyage in spirit
to sixteenth-century Spain. She will
edit for publication in the U.S. and
Spain a comedy by the Spanish
playwrite Lope de Vega. She plans
to use the Hispanic libraries at
Columbia University and at Har-
vard for her research.

Miss Groseclose will also be at
Harvard, attending the Summer
Institute for College Teachers of
Comparative Anatomy, on a grant
from the National Science Founda-
tion.

Miss Ripy plans to teach in an
N.S.F. program in Texas, while Mr.
Frierson and Miss Gary will partici-
pated in the program at Emory.

The N.S.F. Anthropology Insti-
tute in Colorado is Mr. Tumblin's
summer objective. He plans to take
the Tumblin tribe camping and
sight-seeing, in addition to writing
term papers and inspecting archaeo-
logical diggings. Dr. Rice is also
heading west for the summer, to
teach in Montana.

Mr. Hensel will complete his
doctorate in music. His plans in-
clude several weeks of consultation
at the University of Illinois on his
project, which is the composition
of his first symphony (which he
says regretfully, is inspired more
by practicality than by wine,
women and song).

CA Group To Study
Essay By Lehmann

Christian Association is organi-
zing a study group for next fall
in preparation for Religious Em-
phasis Week winter quarter.

Dean C. Benton Kline will lead

Kaye was also chosen as a 1961
Silhouette beauty. She is a member
of Mortar Board, S.A.I, and Presi-
dent of Athletic Association.

Judy, a senior from Albany,
Georgia, was selected Greek God-
dess at Tech in 1960, and has pre-
viously been a Silhouette beauty.
She is past Judicial Chairman and

can Colleges and Universities.

Becky, a sophomore from Green-
wood, S.C., was chosen as the top

Tennessee, was selected Miss De-

member of the beauty section of
the 1961 Blue Print. Lynn is a
member of Mortar Board, the
Aurora, and is next year's Presi-
dent of Social Council. She has

gram and as Songleader for Black

By ELIZABETH McCAIN

Logan Wilson, who addressed the graduating Class of 1962
at its Commencement Exercises today, is well-known in
literary and academic circles. His interest and hard work in
educational fields are widely recognized, and it was with
great pleasure that we welcomed this distinguished visitor
to our campus

A graduate of Sam Houston
State College, Mr. Wilson received
his M.A. from the University of
Texas and his Ph.D. from Harvard
University. He holds honorary de-
grees from Tulane University, Tex-
as Christian University, and the
University of Rhode Island. He is a
member of Phi Beta Kappa and
other honorary societies.

After completing his education,
Mr. Wilson taught sociology at
Harvard and the University of
Maryland. He became head of the
Sociology Department at Tulane,
later at the University of Ken-
tucky.

In 1953 he became President of
Main University of Texas. Later
he accepted the offices of Presi-
dent and of Chancellor of the Uni-
versity of Texas system. Currently
he is president of the American
Council of Education.

In addition to the numerous po-
sitions he has held, Mr. Wilson has

served on various committees of
the American Sociological Society,
the Southern Association of Col-
leges, the Ford Foundation and
other educational organizations.

He is a member of the Board of
Trustees of the Committee for
Economic Development, the Edu-
cational Testing Service and the
Institute of International Educa-
tion.

He has published articles for
such magazines as Sociology and
Social Research, American Socio-
logical Review, Journal of Higher
Education, Frontiers of Democracy
Science and Harvard Educational
Review.

In recognition of his outstanding
contributions to the field of educa-
tion, he is listed in Who's Who in
America, Directory of American
Scholars, Who Knows and What,
World Biography and American
Men of Science.

College Renovates
Student Bookstore

Plans are being completed for a
complete renovation of the campus
bookstore. Presently run by the
treasurer's office, the bookstore
will continue to be operated by the
college.

Management will come from a
newly formed Board of Managers
composed of Dean Kline (chair-
man), Mrs. Byers, Mr. Rogers, Mr.
Bahr, Miss Boney, Mr. Posey and
Miss Glick. Mrs. Delia Ray will be
the new direct manager of the
bookstore. Mr. Bill Hooper, man-
ager of the Presbyterian Book
Store will serve as Mrs. Ray's ad-
visor for a year.

The new look of the bookstore
will be carried out in the redecora-
tion of the room. Walls will be
painted, new lighting will be in-
stalled, shelves will be put around
the walls, and display islands will
be placed on the floor.

No food will be sold. Instead, the
stock will consist of texts, books
recommended by the various de-
partments, current fiction and non-
fiction of general interest, and
necessity items such as kleenex,
stationery, art and biology supplies.

Much of the stock will be rotat-
able and will be ordered for 30-60
day periods before being returned
to the publisher. Dean Kline ex-
plained the need for this system lay
in the fact that the college can not
subsidize the bookstore and the
management will have to learn
through experimentation just what
books and items will sell.

Since the bookstore will no
longer be connected with the mail
room, the hours will be longer:
from 8:30 a.m. 5 p.m.

Four Faculty Members
Accept New Positions

In a recent Convocation service
Dr. Wallace A. Alston announced
the newly appointed administrative
and faculty positions.

Dr. C. Benton Kline, Jr. has re-
ceived a promotion from Associate
Professor of Philosophy to Pro-
fessor of Philosophy. Miss Miriam
K. Drucker will serve as the new
chairman of the Psychology De-
partment.

Miss Julia T. Gary will serve in
the newly appointed position of
Assistant of the Dean of the
Faculty. She will continue to serve
as Associate Professor of
Chemistry. Miss Annette Teague
has been promoted to an Assistant
in Admissions.

These promotions, approved by
the Agnes Scott College Board of
Trustees, will go into effect in
September of 1962.

The Senior, 1962

Her last exam is over and has been passed, she has gone
through the formalities that symbolise the end of a part of
her life, her job is finally secured in the working world: the
Senior of 1962 has gone.

In an informal survey taken last week the
seniors gave an objective, if somewhat
sketchy, profile of themselves. We asked the
seniors what they were like, and their an-
swers were as we had hoped quite
diverse.

On some aspects of herself the Senior of
1962 agrees with her classmates in their
own self-evaluation. Above all, for instance,
she hopes to be a successful wife, home-
maker, and mother within the next ten years: she is not
at all interested in a permanent career.

She is quite explicit in the most important requirement
of her future husband: he must be intellectual. She wants at
least three children.

Politically speaking, she finds herself most closely aligned
with the views of President Kennedy. Paul Tillich most
nearly expresses her own ideas of the meaning of life. She
admires Queen Elizabeth above other prominent women of
today.

The Senior of 1962 is practical-minded enough to know how
much it takes to feed a family of two for a week. The astro-
naut flights have lately engaged her attention upon the
world scene more than have the trouble spots.

She is happy and expectant at the thought of being gradu
ated (and feels that she has been over-protected here!) She
characterizes her class with the word "versatile."

Whatever her aspirations and attitudes, to those of us
who will be back next year the Senior of 1962 is unique and
irreplaceable. Any attempt to thank her for her presence
here would lead to sloppy sentimentality: we will only close
by wishing her, quite literally, the best of everything. C.W.

The Negos

Editor's Note: All quotes used in this article are from Barbara

Cummiskey, "The Voice of the Nego", Life, May 25, 1962, pp. 8,11.

"We're sick of aphorisms from the pulpit, sick of bogus
people and fraud ideas. It doesn't look very hopeful. Every-
thing's gray. There aren't any values."

How often have you heard views similar to these? How
often have you felt the same way? I am sure most of us have
been confronted with this experience at one time or another.

But why should OUR generation feel
the need of "values" so much more than
did the preceding ones? Because the
America of today is a little less ideal, a
little more mechanized, a little more
tolerant of "shady" business, and a little
more intolerant of religion as a "cure-all"?
According to the May 25 issue of Life
magazine, the Eastern prep school "negos"
are prime examples of the pessimism of our

find any basis for the standards of morality most
take for granted: faith in life, religion, ethics, judg-
of right and wrong."

Seniors Review Four Years Achievement;
Sports, Academics, Drives Share Spotlight

By NANCY BOND

The Class of 1962 has partici-
pated in numerous activities, both
academic and social, during its
four years at Agnes Scott.

The first athletic victory came
during the winter quarter swim
meet in which the Class of 1962
swam away with the trophy. For
two years the class continued to
take first place. They also actively
participated in hockey, basketball,
and volleyball, winning the volley-
ball trophy as sophomores.

By spring quarter of their soph-
omore year, the class reached its
peak of spirit and enthusiasm.
Hanging their banner from the sec-
end floor of Walters, the Sopho-
mores never underwent the peren-
nial slump.

The class marched to a sweep-
ing victory in the Campus Fund
Raising Campaign and topped
every other class by pledging over
$17,000. When the spirit cup was
awarded in May no one was sur-
prised when the Class of 1962 took
i top honors.

Be is a bewildering paradox. He does NOT believe, yet
he wants to believe in something. He wants to break away
from society's " 'System' * yet he conforms to its maxims
concerning money as a stepping-stone to " 'success' "
" 'status' " 'prestige' ", and " 'security' ". Outwardly, he
conforms to the accepted standard of dress even though
he may detest it.

Why is the pessimistic nego so important? Why does he sav
one thing and do the opposite. What possible connection is
there between these pessimistic prep school boys and the
optimistic girls at Agnes Scott?

For the negos life itself is a gigantic paradox. It presents
many problems which seem to overshadow its rewards.

They are not content to sit passively by and ACCEPT
life on those terms. They want more. They must conform
in many ways, but they flatly refuse to THINK as society
does.

Life comments that "the boys are thinking harder than
most students who have gone before them in itself a good
thing, and perhaps a cause for hope."

Composite Of Traits
Make Scott Student

By JULIA PRATHER

Between the gawkiness of early adolescence and the dignity
of full womanhood, we find a creature known as the Scottie

She comes in assorted sizes,
weights and ages, but all seem to
have the same creed: to learn as
much as possible
while enjoying it
as much as possi-
ble, to grab every
extra minute for
much needed
sleep, to remain
a lady and still
have fun, to date
the cutest boy in
the best fraternity, and to attain
wisdom, honor, truth and a B. A.
degree in four years.

The Scottie is found everywhere-
on campus and off, (except apart-
ments), eating at the grill, sum-
mer school, the Decatur flick, a
fraternity party, on Inman roof,
in the library, or in the magnolia
tree outside the dining hall.

The Scottie is Truth with an
Honor System, Punctuality with a
slip in the D. O., Wisdom with her
college outline series, and Hope-for-
the-Future with only more days
till graduation.

She is a composite she has
the energy of one with a purpose,
the irresponsibility of one with an
overdue reserve book, and the
seriousness of one who values her
education.

She likes Kennedy, Bass Wejuns,
tennie pumps, madras, Villagers,
"A's," honor, integrity, K. A.'s,
SAE's, Phil Delt's, Betas', Sigma
Chis\ Delt's, ATO's, etc.

She is not much for morning,
classes, afternoon classes, time
limits, the drinking policy, Winter
quarter, "Easter Vacation" and
exam schedules.

At Scott you will find a conglo-
meration of all sorts of characters-
the very intelligent, the moderately
intelligent, the sophisticate, the
"gung-ho", the transfer, the sin-
cere, the honest, the well-rounded,
the square, and the future of
American womanhood.

Mothers love them, fathers fin-
ance them, boys date them, the
(lining-hall starves them, the
library robs them, the night watch-
man protects them, and the college
educates them.

She comes a little girl and leaves
a woman. She has contributed
something, but she has gained
much more than she could ever
give, and she leaves knowing that
-he has had the best opportunity,
been exposed to the finest, and will
always remember her days at
A.S.C.

Enthusiasm reigned high and
carried over to the junior year. At
Black Cat the class sang its prize
winning song "She wears madras
skirts and tennis shoes." As spon-
sors of the Junior Jaunt Charity
drive the class again raised -the
most money. They sponsored the
Winter Charity Ball at the Dink-
ier Plaza.

In the fall of its senior year, the
Class of 1962 walked away with
all honors at Black Cat, winning
both the sweepstakes and the song
contest.

Academic honors have been a
part of the class record, too. Twen-
ty seven members of the class did
Independent Study and ten were
elected to Phi Beta Kappa. Twelve
were chosen to represent the col-
lege in Who's Who In American
Colleges and Universities. Nine
members of the 1962 group lead
the campus as members of Mortar
Board.

After graduation the members
of the Class of 1962 will go to 1he
far corners of the earth in many
varied positions. The reunions
should be exciting!

Columnist Thanks
Grads For Spirit

By FRANCES ANDERSON

When asked to write an lairticle for the Graduation Issue of
the News, I am somewhat at a loss for words. First of all, I
am not able to peer into my crystal ball and forecast "mystic
goodies" for each of you graduates.
I felt that I must try to char-

acterize Yogi and his classmates
in some way. This sounds easy
enough to do until one sits down
and tries to do it, and then the go-
ing gets tough. It is impossible to
characterize a class by one word -
especially this class.

What I can do then is to share
some of my recollections and im-
pressions of your class with you.
When I think over the past three
years two things have been out-
standing about your class: your
friendliness and your class spirit.

As a freshman, I remember that
the seniors and juniors seemed
quite aloof it was your class as
sophomores that really did the wel-
coming and helped us poor fresh-
men out. Your class did not set
up the "cold class barriers", and we
really appreciated this.

My freshman year the feeling on
campus was that there were three
groups: the seniors, the juniors,
and the underclassmen. Since then,
and because of you, the tables have
turned. Now the feeling exists that

there are first the students and
then the particular classes. You
have made us feel that we are a
whole made up of parts instead of
parts making up a whole.

You have also set up a standard
of spirit on campus. It is true that
every class has spirit of some kind
or another in varying degrees, but
yours has always been unique. Your
class has always turned out en
mass for hockey games and skits
and campus functions. I think this
spirit can be attributed to the fact
that each one of you is vitally
aware that you are members of a
particular class the Class of
1962. The idea that it is "mickey"
to have some class spirit has never
occurred to you.

The two traditions that yau have
established are well worth follow-
ing. I would like to conclude by
wishing your class the best of
luck. I hardly feel this is necessary,
however; your success here will
continue because you stand upon
your own merits.

1962 Art Majors
Display Projects

By JUDY LITTLE

Agnes Scott's first senior art major show was held this
year. The four majors, Ethel Gilmour, Germaine Calhoun,
Ruth Shepherd and Ann Hutchinson, each displayed repre-
sentative work in the gallery.

A different style was noted in
each girl's work. Ethel's paintings
were characterized by strong
heavy lines, Germaine's by muted
color compositions, Ann's by circu-
lar picture movements; and Ruth's
pottery by lightness and handsome
glazing.

Besides the senior exhibition, the
art show also included a studio
exhibit of sections 350 and 410
work and a hall exhibit of 350, 252,
262, and 199 section work. Prints,
watercolors, temperas, caseins,
oils, pottery, and sculpture were
included in this part of the ex-
hibit.

Dr. Ferdinand Warren, head of
the art department, says "I really
think that the exhibit is the best
spring quarter art show we've had
since I've been here."

Two other faculty members, Dr.
Leyburn and Dr. H. A. Robinson,
have voiced similar opinions. Dr.
Walker sent a letter to Mr. War-
ren to express her enjoyment of
the show.

There has been a greater re-
sponse from the students and other
guests attending the show than in
previous years.

Mr. Warren says that an exhi-
bition similar to this year's show
will be a requirement for all senior
art majors in the future. He com-
pares such a requirement with the
music majors' compulsory senior
recitals.

Besides continuing to exhibit in
a senior art show, it is hoped that
art majors will continue to leave
some article of their work for
Agnes Scott's permanent collec-
tion. Among this year's gifts is an
oil painting by Germaine Calhoun.
The painting, which represents a
desolate city, is primarily in
orange, yellow and brown.

The paintings left by the art
majors will be framed by the art
department and exhibited in the
new Fine Arts Building. Mr. War-
ren says that "they will be an in-
spiration to struggling freshmen."

Sporting Seniors Show Talent,
Non-Academic Achievements

By MARILYN LITTLE

The year 1961-1962, whatever else one may say about it,
has definitely been marked by extra-high interclass spirit.
Although the juniors won the Sportsmanship Trophy and the
freshmen were runners-up, the "tired oF Seniors" really de-
serve an accolade for their fine exhibitions of "never-say die
say forfeit" spirit.

During Hockey season last fall,
despite shortness of breath and
tiredness of body and victorious-
ness of other classes, these Red-
coats steadily plugged along. They
were 2nd runners-up for the
championship; a fact made possible
by their good teamwork, sports-
manship, and refined skills.

In Basketball, the mark of the
forfeit played a large part in deter-
mining the seniors' won-lost per-
centage. However, this did not
dim their spirits at all when they
actually did play. Here again,
sportsmanship and teamwork were
their trademarks.

Volleyball seison contained an
event in which the Seniors en-
deared themselves to the Freshmen
forever, (though it's very doubtful
that the Seniors would have picked
this class in which to be admired,
if they had had their choice.)

At any rate, when the last volley-
ball game rolled around, the fresh-
men and juniors were tied for the
lead, the sophomores were next in
line, and the seniors had yet to win
a single game. The sophomores
were playing the freshmen, and the
juniors were battling the seniors.
The Class of '62 summoned up all
its skill, teamwork, sportsmanship,
and sneakiness to defeat the
juniors, in its only victory of the
season, thereby making the fresh-
men Champions. It was a truly
great moment in the annals of
Agnes Scott sports.

But such an event is only par
for the course for these seniors.
For four long years, they have real-
ly been 'the finest of their kind.

mand for a dramatic presentation
annually, the National Players of
Washington will present Moliere's
delightful comedy, School For
Wives on Feb. 26.

Finally ,on April 2, the Rt. Hon.
Dr. J u seel lino Kubitschek will be
presented in an evening lecture.
Now in the Senate of Brazil, he
was President during the building
of Brazil ia and is solely responsible
for the removal of the capital to
that city.

Lecture Committee has en-
deavored to engage the most in-
teresting authorities in fields of
greatest concern to the student to-
day. We look forward to wel-
coming these distinguished guests
to our campus.

their years together. traditions of Agnes Scott.
