Keynote: Awareness

Lack of communication is a serious problem at Agnes
Scott. Yet the problem lies not primarily in communication
between faculty and students as in many other colleges and
universities. T he principle problem concerns communication
within various phases of the student body
itself. With the advent of this school year,
the first under the new Agnes Scott consti-
tution, should come a re-evaluation of many
previous attitudes accepted by many students.
Now is the time to formulate and put
into practice a freer communication be-
tween the student body as a whole and
various branches of student government,
especially the judicial council.

Although under the old constitution, Executive Council
meetings have previously been open to spectators and in-
terested persons, few have even attended. Hall by hall we
have been invited to the group's meetings by our judicial
representative, and hall by hall we have decided that we are
too busy with 'other activities or studies to attempt to under-
stand the workings of the council and its members. We have
failed to see what care and patience are taken with each
case; we have ignored the group which holds in its hands
the fate of students at Agnes Scott.

Supposedly we have elected these girls to their places be-
cause we saw in them the qualities of understanding and
fairness necessary for anyone assuming the tremendous re-
sponsibility of serving in such a capacity.

However, as soon as we have elected them, we seem to
shy away from them. Soon we hesitate to ask anything
which might pertain to a case which appeared before the
group. Instead, we resort to secondhand information which
by its nature may be a little more or a little less than the
truth.

This problem of communication could be solved quickly
if we as students would not hesitate to ask any member ^ of
the judicial board about any matter or even a rumor which
has disturbed us. If the action is confidential, the representa-
tive can censor the information. We need not be our own
censors by our hesitancy to ask questions.

In addition to asking members of the council we can also
obtain information of the workings of the group through
the posted order of business at the previous meeting which
appears on the Student Government bulletin board in the
mailroom, usually the day after the council meets. Included
on the paper are the different types of cases which the
group heard during its meeting.

By reading this list many of the rumors which often
circulate after a long meeting of the council can be
squelched or clarified. Yet few of us ever take the few
seconds required during the week to glance over the list.

We do not mean to suggest that each case discussed at
each meeting on Monday nights should be announced pub-
licly, for often there is no need. By its nature, the board
must be selective in information given to the student body to
keep from injuring the person involved. But the extent of
closemouthedness on the part of the majority of students on
the campus is unwarranted and can be alleviated by interest
in every aspect of life at Scott.

Such interest should not, of course, even slightly border
on nosiness, on a desire to discover who is involved simply
for the sake of knowing, but should stem from an increased
interest in the entire campus. Increased awareness is the
keynote. N.B.

Dear Editor:

Authorization for the Universal
Military Training and Service Act
will expire on June 30, 1963. We
strongly feel that the legislation
for extension of this Act should be
widely discussed throughout the
nation prior to possible enactment.
The average age of the draftee in
1961 was 23.1 and this figure is
increasing each year.

Also, modern warfare is requir-
ing more and more highly trained
individuals to operate complex
weapons. The two year draftee is
incapable of receiving such training
before his period of service has
expired. Both of these factors indi-
cate that serious revisions must be
considered in any extension meas-
ures. Enclosed is a flyer presenting
some arguments against extension.

Why are we writing you? Be-
cause we feel that you will want
to discuss this issue on your
campus this fall. This is an issue
that directly or indirectly will
affect persons in your community.
You have a right to have your
views, and suggestions for revisions
in the law, be heard by the Con-
gress.

What can you do? You can in-
vite debate in your paper through
editorials and letters to the Editor.
You can request the Congressional
Committees responsible for holding
hearings on this legislation to hold
hearings in your community rather
than only in Washington. And
finally, if you feel that the draft
should not be extended, you can
support the END THE DRAFT
campaign during the coming
months.

For or against, the colleges must
raise their voices on this issue. If
we can be of any help please write
and we will do our best in answer-
ing questions or supplying mate-
rials. We would be pleased to learn
of any action on your college
campus.

Respectfully yours,

Internationally Speaking

Disillusioned German Actor
Explains Reason For Flight

By DR. ELLEN DOUGLASS LEYBURN

One international episode of the last few months seems
to me to be of concern to us all, whether or not we are de-
votees of the special world of the theatre in which it took
place. Perhaps a word of background is necessary for the
understanding of its import.

Bertold Brecht, who believed
strongly in the people's revolution
and returned to East Germany
from his refuge in America as soon
as the Nazi persecutions were over,
was unquestionably the greatest
dramatist whom Germany has pro
duced in this century. He, in colla
boration with Piscator, had done
much even before the war to re
volutionize the conception of
theatre in our time; and when he
went back to Germany after the
war, with his wife Helene Weigel,
as preeminent in acting as he was
in writing for the theatre, he estab-
lished the Berliner Ensemble, the
most notable repertory troupe
since the days of Stanislavski at
the Moscow Art Theatre.

Since Brecht's death in 1956,
Helene Weigel has been head of
the troupe, which has received ac-
claim not just in Germany, but in
all the countries of the western
world for its compelling perfor-
mances, especially of Brecht's own
plays in what he called "epic
theatre" because he believed in a
loose construction which prevented
the audience's becoming so emo-
tionally involved in the dramatic
action as to lose the force of the
social doctrine which motivated all
of his plays.

When I saw the Berliner En-
semble performance in London of
Mother Courage, Brecht's most
famous play, though Weigel's act
ing in the name part was magni-
ficent, I could see why the disci-
pline and unity of the troupe were
what critics always singled out for
praise. So much for background.

When the Berlin wall went up,
Peter Palitzsch, one of the most
gifted actors in the company, was
caught in West Berlin. The ex-
change of open letters on his re-

Unfounded Beliefs

We have all heard of men who become convinced that they
know when the world will end. They gather family, derelicts,
and fanatical followers about them and prepare for the big
day.

If the newspapers bother to print their
story at all, they treat it with contempt or
as an amusing sideline to pressing national
affairs. We as college students look down
from our pedestal of enlightenment to scorn
these men who so earnestly believe that they
have the power to know of the end of the
world.

Faith without any reason is laughable . . .
and so we lau^h, and go on believing that
the events in the outside world do not concern us, that
World War III is out of the question, that America has to
triumph over Communism because she is "right."
We laugh . . . and go on believing that although we are
college students there are things that are more important
to us than our education, that giving up a date in order to
study is sheer madness.

We believe in concepts beautifully. As the fanatics make
their preparation for death, so do we adjust to our beliefs.
The problems of the world become remote to us, and educa-
tion becomes secondary to all else.

The world denounces religious fanatics for stupidity,
bigotry, intolerance. Occasionally we are labeled as
"apathetic," but we have a belief to combat this term: we
believe that since Agnes Scott is a superior school we are
superior students and therefore above the apathetic level.
Our faith in our own unfounded, often unspoken convic-
tions makes us closely akin to those zealous seekers of the
Judgment Day. But these people have one advantage over
us: after the night of the supposed end of the world, the
sunrise will illumine their folly. C. W.

fusal to return to East Berlin, I
quote in full as they appeared in
the Theatre Arts Monthly for June,
1962:

Peter Palitzsch to Manfred
Wekwerth:

Dear Manfred:

Since the day of the premiere I
have been sitting over this letter,
which did not come easy it came
hard, especially because I know
you cannot acknowledge or even
understand my reason for not re-
turning to the German Democratic
Republic.

Today, Manfred, I feel the
deepest shame at having never
really thought what a man loses
when he emigrates what it
means literally to "give up every-
thing." Not only all the things
that have survived fascism and air-
raids and with which part of a life-
time is linked. All the friends,
Erre, you, Jochen, Paul, Karl,
Wolfchen, Martin, Hans-Dieter,
Helli . . . Berlin . . Past and future
work at and with the Berlin En-
semble. The meaning of my work
is gone irrevocably; and with it the
most significant part of my life, the
hope of being able to found, if in a
modest way, a more humanistic
world. It sounds silly, but I am con-
fronted with sheer nothingness.
And every turn of events will put
the question afresh whether at this
time I did right. Naturally, I shall
go on working, as thoroughly and
well as circumstances permit, but
the jobs I do won't be as good as
the earlier ones on our team: there
won't be the joy, the knowledge,
the going-back-to-first-principles.
Whenever I think of this, naked
despair seizes me.

We live in a country whose un-
happy history has hammered into
us with blood and shame right
down to the present the fact that a
sense of responsibility is an abso-
lute necessity. In addition we prac-
tice a profession that, without such
a sense of responsibility, becomes
mere trickery, a horrifying farce.
Manfred, I cannot take the re-
sponsibility for the things that have
recently been going on, any more
than I could support the events of
June 17, 1953, or understand cer-
tain items of the development of
the Soviet Union and Hungary.
I am not their judge. I feel myself
most intimately bound to Socialism
and am too ignorant to formulate
an answer and beg you to take
each sentence as a question pro-
ceeding from a conscience in ex-
tremist, but I do not feel able to
answer for all this misery and this
anxiety.

Is it because of my bourgeois
origin? Do I know too much on the
one hand, and too little on the
other of Brecht, of Socialism? For
me, Socialism is the only possi-
bility of arriving at a fundamental-
ly human form of human living-
together; humanism and peace are
inherent in it. And in anguish I try
to understand that violence can be
necessary to put it through. But,
Manfred, only necessary, unavoid-
able violence! And so it is my un-
conditional duty to investigate
overy atom of violence in regard to
its unavoidability. It is therefore
the duty of those responsible to be
(Continued on Page 3)

Internationally

(Continued from Page 2)

responsible to me and to everyone.
It isn't listening to the RIAS
(West Berlin Radio) but to the
Berliner Rundfunk (East) that
makes me despair. Every use of
violence comprises (perhaps a mis-
print for "compromises"?) our
cause. For us us, in particular
it cannot be the occasion for joy,
for triumph. The recent measures
have hurt the peaceful passage to
Socialism in Germany in the most
frightful way. This is not an ac
cusation; it is a painful fact.

You will say the measures taken
on the 13th of August were un-
avoidable. Unavoidable like those of
the 17th of June. And the measures
taken next? And the way in which
they were carried out? Were only
the punished guilty in actuality?
And not the punishers too
especially in a Marxist's eyes? Can
RIAS agents and warmongers,
spies and extortioners bring so
many people to such a tremendous
step, if there isn't something wrong
somewhere else as well? What
were the causes of the 17th and
the 13th? We stand for the better
cause, isn't that so then why is
it not the better cause in the view
of so many? Are these questions
allowed, or not? I am permitted to
travel to Oslo and Wuppertal, you
promise me. But I want everyone
to be permitted to travel to Oslo
and Wuppertal: let the exception
be the rule. I see myself, full of
anxiety, becoming a privileged
person; what I wanted was to help
abolish privileges. Is that an empty
egalitarianism? You will say these
are all petty bourgeois thoughts,
poisoned by capitalism, but ever
since the German Democratic Re-
public was founded, I honestly en-
deavored to learn, to understand,
and to act accordingly.

You refer me to (Brecht's) Days
of the Cummune (in which the
wealthy flee from the beleaguered
Paris of 1870). But this time it's
the workers who leave the workers'
state influenced by foreign
broadcasts, no doubt, but living
with us, and so exposed more to
the good than to the bad cause. Is
it not tragic that the dictatorship
of the proletariat is directed
against large parts of the prole-
tariat? You refuse to speak with
me in West Berlin because there
are American tanks in West Berlin.
But, before the 13th, they were
not there. They are the effect of a
cause.

Manfred, I wanted to tell you at
least all the thoughts that had
come thronging into my mind since
the 13th: and now I say very little
badly. But perhaps you see that

I am through. Utterly ignorant;
but not prepared to take my share
of responsibility for the measures
taken. But also not prepared and
willing to criticize them. Perhaps
this makes it possible for you to
see me not as a traitor but a poor
swine. Honestly I wish you, Eire,
and the Berlin Ensemble all con-
ceivable good. Goodbye.

Peter Palitzsch
"The Answer"
Palitzsch's answer was an open
letter from the company bearing
many signatures headed by that of
Helene Weigel and including Wek-
werth's :

Open Letter to Peter Palitzsch:

"I tell you, he who doesn't know
the truth is just a fool, but he who
knows it and calls it a lie is a
criminal! Get out of my house!"

Brecht: The Life of Galileo
Galilei.

With patience that did not come
easy we have not failed in these
last weeks to suggest removing
your doubt about the justification
of the measures taken on August
13th in conversation with us. You
fear conversation with us. You
write that it has cost you a bitter
battle to leave your friends, and
that now sheer nothingness con-
fronts you. You call yourself our
friend. What kind of a friend is it
who takes his doubts, not to his
friends, but to the reactionary
press? And don't say sheer nothing-
ness confronts you. What confronts
you is a carriage to which you
now find yourself harnessed. You
write that it has cost you a bitter
Germany too, and you point to the
steadfast intellectuals. But have
you not by your example stabbed
in the back those who insist on
changing conditions in West Ger-
many?

You must know that all your
future work, done in the land of
the rising Arthuro Uis ( Arturo Uis
the Hitler figure of Brecht's play
of that name, now being adapted
for Broadway production by George
Tabori Ed.), must actually
assist them to rise, because the
price you have paid to do this work
is your personal refusal: you have
left the land in which the Arturo
Uis are economically and politically
disabled.

We have suffered losses. We
have recouped them.

Ensemble, signed: Helene Weigel
and others.

Anguish and Conviction
It seems to me that these two
letters reveal, as few other episodes
have done, both the anguished
doubts of communist idealists who
have fled East Germany and the
ruthlessness and unquestioning
commitment to the party of the
communists who remain and who
are motivated in their espousal of

Campus
Countdown

By CAROL FRAZER

Cupid had a busy summer, but
Scotties worked even harder
evidently! At any rate, the rash of
fraternity pins and wedding and
engagement rings on campus
seems to support this hypothesis.

Returning as married day stu-
dents are juniors Frances Mahon
Howard and Ann Coggins Sapp.
Seniors doubling as housewives
are Betty Libby Alderman, D'etta
Brown Barnhart, Jane Sharp
Nette, Sally Bergstrom Jackson
and Lindy Gearrald Rector.

Proving that summer promotes
engagements are Sue Heinrich,
fiancee of Reneau Van Landing-
ham, and Cheryl Winegar who
wears the "diamond brand" of Al
Mullins.

Not to be forgotten is Lou Ann
Terrell, who, with a little outside
aid from Tom Eddy, joined the
ranks of the "pinned."

Looks like a profitable summer!

the communist cause by what they
regard as the good of humanity.
The prominence of the figures in-
volved in this exchange of letters
has given them a peculiar signifi-
cance. But it is the thousands of
nameless Palitzschs and Weigels
who constitute the real problem
for those of us who hold a different
view of the way to the social salva-
tion of the world. It behooves all
thoughtful Americans to ponder
the convictions which gave rise to
both of the letters I have quoted.

Note: If you want to read fur-
ther about this episode, there are
letters concerning it in all the sum-
mer issues of Theatre Arts Month-
ly.

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.

Senior Remembers
Freshman Thoughts

By JULIA PRATHER

"Hail, Hail, the gang's all here." It's time once again to
start another year, and naturally at this time a great deal
of attention turns to the Freshmen. And as the Freshmen
begin their first days at A. S. C, upperclassmen can't help
but reflect upon their own "first days."

The absolute "goon" with whom
we roomed by some terrible mis-
take our fresh-
man year made
a horrible first
impression. HoKv
could anyone be
expected to live
with someone
who knew no-
thing about peo-
ple, classes, boys,
or anything else?
senior smiles ironically as
she looks back and realizes what a
wonderful experience it has been
living with this same "goon" for
four years.

Remembering the first few
weeks of classes an upper class
man remembers how discouraged
and unhappy she was about a cer-
tain required subject. No one
should have to take anything that
hard or that boring. Yet, its funny
how much she has enjoyed major-
ing in that same subject, and how
rewarding it has been.

The upperclassman with a huge
ring on her finger is reminded of
her first rush party. The only per-
son she met was some poor, piti-
ful, scared rushee. How she ever
endured those first dates is re-
markable.

But how did she get that ring?
You guessed it! that same rushee,
no longer a rushee, nor poor, nor
pitiful.

Hundreds of similar things hap-
pen. The girl who was so home-
sick decides it might be more fun
to spend Thanksgiving at a friend's
house.

Or the one crowd of girls one
didn't like at first turns out to be
the best friends she ever had.

There's a moral in this to ponder
when one has time about first im-
pressions and all that. But for now
it's much more fun for upperclass-
men to remember their first experi-
ences, and Freshmen to anticipate
theirs.

Bookkeeping, Store
Receive Renovation

BY ANN DANIEL

This past summer there has been
a complete revamping of the
treasurer's office, bookstore and
mailroom. Mrs. Delia Ray is man-
ager of the new bookstore.

Among the changes that have
been made in the bookstore are
new hours (9 to 5 except for
chapel) and student aid to work in
the afternoons.

There is a stock of paperbacks
on order which should arrive either
this week or next week. These
books will be placed where the text
books have been.The bookstore also
carries art supplies.

If a student wants a book that is
not stocked, she may ask Mrs. Ray
to order it for her.

The food that the bookstore used
to sell may now be bought in the
extra vending machines that are
being installed on the campus.

Mr. Richard C. Bahr, treasurer,
Mrs. Louise Altman, bookkeeper,
and Mrs. Miriam Smalley, secre-
tary are the new faces seen in the
treasurer's office.

The whole system of booking has
been revised. A new bookkeeping
machine which will keep all college
accounts, student accounts, payroll
accounts and student bank
accounts has been purchased. All
receipts and disbursments of funds
are to be handled through the
treasurer's office.

The mailroom and treasurer's
office are completely separate this
year. Mrs. Marie Lewis is mailroom
manager. Stamps, cards, stamped
envelopes and meal tickets may be
purchased from Mrs. Lewis in the
mailroom.

ties are made available there in
the dorm, and the cottage juniors
are urged to use the facilities in
/Iain and Walters. Strict rules have
been established for use of these
rooms. These areas are strictly for
studying; thus, absolute quiet is ex-
pected. The doors to the smokers
are to be kept closed at all times
and the smoking is to be confined
to these rooms.

As the handbook states, no dates
are allowed in these rooms, and the
dress policy is to be the same as
that for the "Hub."

'Roun -Town Suggestions

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

It's great seeing Scotties roun' town again! Where are they
h Gelded*^ LGt's ask!

To the STABLE of the THOROUGHBREDS? In Buck-
head? It's the show of great cars of all times. You'll see the
504 Mercedes Hitler gave to the king of Albania, the Lancia
Astura of Mussolini, the one and only Rolls Royce "Maisie
Thomas," and 37 more. Good show! (Bet your date loves
you for suggesting it) .

There's another

Sally Pocke! (L) and Jane
Wallace prepare themselves for
impending Hockey Season.

Scottie. Headed
where? To the
COPA to hear
Eddie Arnold
sing country and
| western style
i u s i c. Good
Style!

That Scotty is
in a quandry.
There are so many first-run
movies you don't know which to
see? There's THE MIRACLE
WORKER with the original Broad-
way cast at the PLAZA, the FINE
ART features THE DEVIL'S EYE,
another masterpiece of Ingmar
Bergman, and the "carry on"
gang is back in CARRY ON
TEACHER at the ART.

Not to add to this Scottie's
problem, but the NEW CINE-
RAMA, for its gala opening,
booked the spectacular WONDER-
FUL WORLD of the BROTHERS
GRIMM. And what a cast! Lau-
rence Harvey, Claire Bloom,
Yvette Mimieux, and Russ Tam-
blyn. Say your problem is solved!

Hey! Catch that Scottie!
Where's the fire? You've got to
make the twist contest at PIG-
ALLEY? And afterwards you're
going to ROOM AT THE TOP of
the new Americana to hear Gra-
ham Jackson? Then to HANK
and JERRY'S where Harmonica
Zack is playing for more twist-
ing? Hope you can twist all that
in by time-limit!

There's a Scotty in a thoughful
frame of mind. You're going to see
ELYSIAN, to see what you can
make of it? What IS it? Oh. The
prize-winning painting of the
Southeastern Annual Art Exhibi-
tion at the Art Association. It
closes Sept. 30. Better hurry!

What's the Scottie waiting in
line for? To get your season
tickets for the Atlanta Symphony,
the Ail-Star, or the Show-Time
Series? Can't afford to miss a
single production this year. Better
get all three!

THE SOUND OF MUSIC, not
yet off Broadway, will open the
season on Oct. 15.

Looks like there isn't any
place where Scotties aren't!
You're off, too? See you roun'
town?

Black Cat Seeks To Promote Traditional
Freshman - Sophomore Class Relationship

By LAURA HAWES

On Friday, Oct. 12, hockey sticks will clash, spirit songs
will be shouted, and the stage and floor of Bucher Scott
Gymnasium will come alive with music, dance and drama,
all in honor of the Cat and the freshman class.

The occasion, which marks the

end of orientation and is Scott's
formal welcome of the Class of '66
to the student body, has its roots
in a rugged hazing system which
once prevailed here. To take its
place, Black Cat's show of class
and community spirit was insti-
tuted.

For many years now, freshmen
and upperclassmen alike have di-
rected their energies toward crea-
tion of Black Cat songs and the
Black Cat production. This year's
celebration will focus more than
ever on the freshmen, who will sit
for the first time with the seniors
directly under the footlights, the
better to hear and see a production
planned especially for them.

Caryl Pearson, chairman of

Black Cat, refuses-as is traditional-
to divulge the theme of this year's
program or to explain its difference
from previous productions. But she
barely manages to suppress her ex-
citement and comments, "The
script committees have been won-
derful-so creative and original."

The first hockey matches of the
season will begin the Black Cat
celebration at 4 p.m. A community
picnic on the field will follow. The
student body is urged not to scatter
afterward but to assemble immedi-
ately in classes to enter the gym.

Immediately after the perfor-
mance and presentation of this
year's Black Cat songs, the street
dance will begin. The "Night
Shadows" will play from 8:30 p.m.
to Midnight.

Tempo

Tempo To Present
Campus Concerts

By FRANCES ANDERSON

When I took over the writing of this column last spring,
I spent considerable time and energy finding out what the
purpose of this column was. Since Tempo is only one year
old, its purpose is still in the process of being defined.

As it stands now, Tempo is con
j cerned with you,
the student. And
because it is con-
cerned with you
as students, it is
concerned with
campus life.

But the thing
Tempo is really
concerned with
is communication. Tempo is
your column I merely happen
to be writing it. It is your ideas
that are expressed here what
I am saying is this; Tempo is a

means for the expression and
communication of campus and
student ideas. I cannot begin to
express and communicate these
ideas alone. I need help. It is up
to you as a student and class
member to make your ideas and
feelings known to me.
(Let me make it clear right now
that I do not expect to hear only
the good things that happen on
campus. I know as well as any-
one that there must be criticism
and if this is constructive criti-
cism, there is space in this col-
umn for it!)

A. A. Gives Students
Chance Of Exercise

By MARILYN LITTLE

An odd misconception very prevalent these days is that
the initials AA. stand for Alcoholics Anonymous. Of course,
it hardly seems necessary to point out that if one is an alco-
holic at Agnes Scott, she had better remain very anonymous,
but the misconception still holds true.

Specifically, A.A. at Scott means
a guided tour of Atlanta, calendars
for school events and assignments,
hockey games, bicycles for after-
noon rides in the fall, "Please"
signs, and Blue Horse collectors.

But A.A. in general serves a
somewhat more important purpose.
The Creek ideal of "sound body,
sound mind" lends a key to this. It
is obvious that one does not do her
best after, say, three NoDoz and
two packs of cigarettes every day.

But it is not as obvious to some
of us that it is equally hard for one
to do very well after days of
strenuous exercises like walking
from the room to Buttrick, then to
the library, then to the dining hall,
and then back to the room.

physical, depends on good food and
good exercise. The food situation
is out of our hands ,but promoting
physical well-being through exer-
cises is not.

And that is where A.A. and its
activities may be of service to YOU.
In sponsoring many varied organi-
zed sports, A.A. creates valid out-
lets for easing the tensions and
strains of school life. After all,
tears are not that much fun . . .
and hockey is.

Such activities bring us out of
our shells, and give us common in-
terests with others. Incidental to
all this is that sports are FUN,
which is basically what A.A. wants
to have around the campus.

So why not give Athletic Asso-
ciation and its activities a try
why not have some fun!

ARCHITECTS DRAWING OF PROPOSED DORMITORY

Crews Begin Building;
Dormitory To Hold 150

Construction has begun on the new dormitory, which will
be ready for occupation in the fall of 1963. It will house
approximately 150, and will stand east of Walters and the
infirmary, facing the infirmary garden.

The plans, submitted by Ivy and
Crook architects, to be executed by
Barge and Co., show a ground
floor, three floors of living quar-
ters, and an attic for storage.

The ground floor will consist of
offices, study rooms, utility rooms,
and a large lounge complete
with fireplace which will be
used for gatherings of the com-

munity and visitors.

Each of the three floors above
will contain single and double
rooms, quarters for a senior resi-
dent, two bathrooms, a kitchen
and laundry room, a phone alcove
and a lounge.

The trustees have not yet chosen
a name for the newest addition to
the campus.

with it.

The program is open to all stu-
dents who have a B average by
the end of the winter quarter of
the junior year; and early in the
spring quarter they are to be noti-
fied by the Dean of the Faculty of
their eligibility to participate in

Campaign Program
Nears Final Stages

Agnes Scott, engaged in the
seventy-fifth anniversary develop-
ment program, has as of Sept. 11,
1962, added almost 9% million dol-
lars in capital assets. Between now
and Jan., 1964, slightly over one
million remains to be raised.

Dr. W. E. McNair, chairman of
the campaign, emphasized that the
primary task this year will be to
work with prospective individuals,
businesses and foundations. The
campaign launched by the Board of
Trustees began in 1953. If the
Agnes Scott community raises
10V 2 million dollars by January
1964, an anonymous donor will
contribute $500,000.

At the present time, $9,477,037.-
17 has been raised, leaving $1,-
022,962.83 left to be added.

The intensive phase of the pro-
gram began in April, 1960, with a
campus campaign in which over
$107,000 was raised. Hopkins and
Walters were built during the first
phase of this program.

Included in future plans are the
new dorm now in the process of
being built, a fine arts building and
the conversion of the old gym
into a student center.

Visiting Danforth Scholar Gives
'Honors Day 7 Chapel Program

"Education's Challenge to Youth" was the subject of the
Honors Day speech delivered today in chapel by Dr. Ernest
J. Simmons, Danforth visiting scholar in Russian Literature.

Dr. Simmons prior to 1959 had

professorships of Slavic languages

In 1959 he resigned to devote
more time to his numerous writ-
ings which include "English Litera-
ture and Culture in Russia", "Leo
Tolstoy", "Russian Literature and
Soviet Ideology", "Dostoevsky:
The Making of a Novelist", "Che-
kov," and "Pushkin."

The former professor has made
six trips to the Soviet Union in-
cluding one as the head of cultural
mission for ACLS.

Also a Danforth visiting lec-
turer in 1961-62, he has spoken at
the Universities of Paris, Munich,
Copenhagen, Aarhus, London, Ox-
ford and Cambridge. He is a Phi
Beta Kappa visiting scholar.

While on campus through Fri-

day, the reknowned scholar will
deliver a lecture on "Soviet Litera-
ture and the Tragedy of Paster-
nak" at 8 p.m. tonight in Maclean

bekah Scott Hall.

In chapel Friday Dr. Simmons
will speak on "Tolstoy's Message
Today".

Additional lectures which the
visiting Russian expert will deliver
include "Soviet- American Diplo-
macy in the Field of Culture" be-
fore the 8:30 a.m. Thursday Tsarist
Russia class. He will speak on the
"Ideal in Dostoevsky's Creative
Art" during the 12:10 p.m. Fri-
day English class on Dante.

Plea For Objectivity

A few nights ago a local T.V. announcer begged the stu-
dents of the University of Mississippi to do all they can to
help relax the tension in the present Mississippi situation.
Actually ,the announcer said nothing more than, 'The federal
and state government can no longer handle their little prob-
lem. So why don't you try?"

H This "enlightened" plea to the student
: body offered no suggestions as to how they
might bring about this minor miracle. Un-
like the Federal Government and National
Board of Education, no ultimatum was
offered. All it amounted to was one more
voice in the dark, or just another minnow
tossed into a barrel already full of rotten
fish. Yet it provokes thought!

What does all this have to do with us?
What it can mean is nothing just some stubborn, short-
sighted Southerners playing segregation against a team
that has a past record of wins in the same game of force.
Or perhaps it is only one more manifestation of the fes-
tering sore in the side of the United States.

What it should mean is something else. This idea of "world
awareness" has been fired at us from all sides. It is a pill
that may have a bitter taste in this present era of blunders.
However, you should have the experience of sampling it,
even if it is never digested.

It would be easy enough to resign oneself to a modern
Limbus where problems of national import do not exist,
ignoring the severity and meaning of such a situation sort
of like the "see, hear, speak no evil" monkey. This is a blind
hope that some political wonder-drug will be discovered to
heal all our little national sore spots, yet it is a hope lacking
the desire to become emotionally, intellectually, or morally
involved.

Here exists a situation that cannot be seen objectively,
damaging to the image of our United States as a free nation
and creating untold emotional erruptions. It is a situation
that should not be ignored by any one of us.

Open your eyes; see with the eye of either your heart or
head. But at least look at what is going on in your own cor-
ner of the world.

Be aware care and be careful! Do not open your mouth
and put your foot, dirty and unfounded, irrational prejudices
and ideas, in, or you might have to chew it up and choke
on it. C.F.

Letters to Editor

Hub-bub

"The Ugly Hubling"
Apologies To H. C.

By JULIA PRATHER

Once upon a time there was an ugly Hubling. The Hubling
was ugly because he was always so dirty. Nobody even
cared enough about him to try to keep him clean.

There were soft drink bottles

on the tables. And candy wrappers
and cigarette ashes on the floor.
In fact the poor ugly Hubling was
always messy.

The ugly Hub-
ling was so un-
happy. The other
buildings were
beautiful and
clean, and they
had nothing to
do with the ugly
Hubling. They
laughed at him
and chided him because he was
so dirty.

Some of the students pretended
to be friends with the Hubling.
They came and sang, played cards
and had a lot of fun. But, they
weren't true friends and left the
Hubling in an even larger mess.

Each day the Hubling became
more and more dirty. And each
day the ugly Hubling became
more and more unhappy.

But almost overnight some-
thing wonderful happened. Some
of the students formed into a
Hub committee. They made it
a project to help the ugly Hub-
ling, and suddenly he wasn't

ugly any more.

They fined people 5 cents for
d roping ashes on the floor. They
asked people to pick up their candy
wrappers and coke bottles and
made everyone interested in keep-
ing the Hubling clean.

They even threatened to close
the Hubling if it remained an eye-
sore on the campus. Students be-
gan to realize how much they
loved the Hubling and what they
would do if it closed.

And so, through the efforts
of students the ugly Hubling be-
came neat and clean. His floors
and tables were shiny, and
there was no more junk and trash
left around.

The Hubling was so happy. The
other buildings became proud of
him and he was no longer an eye-
sore. Everyone still came and had
a wonderful time, but now they
picked up their mess and kept the
Hubling neat and clean.

Fairy story? Maybe so. But. it
will come true if YOU will only
care enough about the Hub not
to drop ashes on the floor and to
put away your coke bottles and
trash.

Dear Editor:

Never have I been so proud of
being a part of our campus com-
munity as I was Saturday after-
noon in the cabin, when almost
150 students and faculty members
assembled to "Meet Mr. Mc-
Conaughy", the U. S. Ambassador
to Pakistan.

Everyone present contributed to
the success of the maiden effort
of the World Awareness Commit-
tee by intelligent and enthusiastic
listening and questioning.

And it is upon the entire student
body that the future success or
failure of our work to encourage
world awareness will depend. We
of the World Awareness Commit-
tee can only provide speakers,
forums, debates and films for the
student body.

The sense of belonging to one
world, a world far greater than

Ambassador to Pakistan, was presented at an informal dis-
cussion in the Cabin last Saturday afternoon

Mr. McConaughy in opening the

floor to discussion answered the
following questions :

Q. Why is India neutralist
and Pakistan pro-West?

A. Naturally there is no one
answer to this question. I would
say the chief reason lies in the
more militant position of the Mos-
lem religion. J inn ah, the George
Washington of Pakistan, believed
in fighting if necessary. Nehru be-
lieves in non-violence. A less
ideological reason is the fact that
Pakistan, upon becoming an inde-
pendent country, was in a desper-
ate condition. As a result, she
gravitated toward 'the U. S. be-
cause there she would find more
economic help and protection.

A Nation Of Sheep?

Ralph McGill noted in an editorial last week that several
of the men in governmental and educative positions in
Mississippi did not agree with Ross Barnett's decision to
m^^a^segregation at all costs.

Perhaps we wondered momentarily that
these Mississippi officials did not make
public their views Abraham Lincoln's
little maxim "To sin by silence when they
should protest makes cowards out of men"
ran through our minds. But after all, to
defy the word of the demogogue in Missis-
sippi is to endanger self and family. So we
excused these men and cursed Barnett
anew.

A Macon, Georgia, minister recently resigned his post be-
cause his liberal views were met with antagonism by his
church members. Reading of his resignation, one may for an
instant have thought of those who did agree with his views
and had welcomed him as a spiritual leader of the new South.

But, we say, if this minister was only causing dissention
which clouded his basic message then perhaps it is better
that the members of his church have a leader with whom
they are more comfortable.

A recent graduate of an excellent law school was heard
to remark that he " . . . did not mind if there was a little
graft among the elected officials of a state government. We
know they are doing it and can watch them, and besides,
they don't get paid enough anyway." This statement comes
as a shock from a young man who will, for the rest of his
life, champion the rights of men.
But the young lawyer ought to know of such things. Every-
one winks at these thieves who are quite cleverly disguised
as government officials. A completely honest man, we say,
can never be elected. We must allow them minor violations
in order that they may obtain the means to do major good.

Mr. McConaughy said that Pakistan is often reluctant to
show so openly its alliance with the Free World. The Com-
munist threat makes it easy for them to envy the non-com-
mittment of the Afro-Asian group. "And yet," said Mr. Mc-
Conaughy, "we tell Pakistan that the Free World relies on
the friends who will stand up and be counted."

As the Free World relies on the voice of Pakistan, so do
we rely on individual citizens who stand up and are count-
ed: the very foundations of our present civilization were
laid by such men.

We all cheered as Adolph Eichman was sentenced to the
gallows for not refusing to follow the orders of the Nazi re-
gime. Certainly the consequences of their silence is not so
grave, but why do we not expect that the voices of dissention
within Mississippi to Barnett be heard?

Why can we not demand that our public officials be of
impeccable character: is it so terribly fashionable, after all,
to laugh knowingly as they rob us blind? Is it too much to
hope that our ministers will be a tough lot who will stand
forever within the strength of their convictions?

Until we demand and support men who will sacrifice
expediency to idealism in a crisis we will deserve the title
which Lederer has given us: "A Nation of Sheep." C.W.

Q. Is there a sizable aid pro-
gram from the Communists in
Pakistan?

A. No. A handful of Soviet odl
technicians has been brought to
Pakistan to find oil. They haven't
found any yet, but they seem to
be concentrating earnestly on
their reason (for being in Pakistan.
Q. Can the Communists ex-
ploit the Kashmir issue?
A. As of right now they have
not found an effective way to ex-
ploit it. Russia is definitely siding
with India on the lissue; China is
vaguely in favor of Pakistan.
Neither of these Communist pow-
ers actually know what to do
with the dispute.

Q. Where do the Pakistanis
get their ideas of American
policy?

A. There is no principal spring.
More Americans are coming to
Pakistan at present. The Ful-
bright program has been greatly
enlarged and other foundations
are coming to Pakistan. The U. S.
Information Agency has done a
lot to familiarize the people with
American policies.

American movies are by far the
most popular. Rock and roll and
even the twist are in evidence
among the teenagers to the
horror of some of their conserva-
tive elders.

Q. Is this westernization good

for the individualism of the

country?

A. It is a mixture of good and
not exactly bad. Pakistan will not
become another U. S. Usually the
teenagers revert to their national
ways as they grow older.

Q. What influence does the
racial strife in the U. S. have in
Pakistan?

A. It definitely does us harm
but is not a major setback. This
strife is hard for them to under-
stand but on the other hand they
realize that we are not perfect.
They greatly admire our non-
censorship policies concerning
these matters.

Americans living abroad gener-
ally do not have racial prejudices.
This helps the situation as does
the fact that the Pakistanis do not
identify themselves with a minori-
ty group.

Q. How does Pakistan feel
about the nuclear race between
the East and the West?

A. They regard it as a very seri-
ous matter. Basically they side
with the U. S. on this and think
the U. S. should not stop testing.
They also believe there has to be
inspection to make disarmament
effective.

Q. What does Pakistan feel
about the Common Market?

A. They are deeply worried
about it because of their tie with
the Commonwealth. They are in-
sisting that England, if she joins
the Common Market, make pro-
visions which will protect coun-
tries such as Pakistan.

Campus C. A. Sponsors
Service Council Week

By LIL HARRIS

On occasions the boards of Agnes Scott have expressed an anxious concern about the

tendency of many students to limit their horizons to the four corners of our campus. Under

observation some of us seem to confine our existence to a monotonous cycle of classes and

activities that hardly extends beyond our immediate circles. But now, more than ever,

Christian Association through its volunteer program is trying to encourage us to take ad

vantage of the ample opportunities we have at Scott of learning to live in the world.

To stimulate an interest in vol- _ , , _

be ready to find a troop for

unteer projects C. A. is sponsor-
ing a Service Council Week, a
new program replacing the cus-
tomary skit for the freshmen.

This year C. A. wants to show
upperclassmen as well as fresh-
men the rewards of doing volun-
teer work in various projects
throughout ithe Atlanta area.

On Monday a conspicuous bulle-
tin board display was erected in
the mail room featuring on-the-
scene pictures of Scott girls work-
ing in behalf of the Service Coun-
cil.

With a skit in chapel on Thurs-
day the week's events have re-
ceived more notice. After the
fashion of a political rally each
project chairman made a cam-
paign speech in chapel emphasiz-
ing the benefits of her project.

At the same time the booklets
entitled "Opportunities Through
Love" have been distributed via
the mail boxes and outline more
fully the details of the projects,
such as location, time, and avail-
able transportation, and exactly
what each project entails.

Today, with interest sheets
passed around, anyone interested
has a chance to indicate her pref-
erences. It is urgent that these
sheets be returned to the ballot
box in the mail-room by NOON
on Thursday.

As the climax of Service Coun-
cil Week there will be booths set
up between the mail-room and the
bookstore where students can be
consulted for further information
about service council's activities.

These booths will be open from
3:45 to 4:45 on Wednesday after-
noon, after which time the interest
sheets will be tabulated and those
who have expressed interest will
be contacted.

The council has enough projects
to suit any volunteer worker's
tastes, from nurseries to nursing
homes. A very popular project is
the Central Presbyterian Girls'
Club, which is located at a down-
town church near the capitol, and
there it is entirely the responsibili-
ty of Scotties to manage a recre-
artional program for girls from the
second to the seventh grades.

The challenging fact about this
project is the realization that
without our help there would be
no program for these girls, whose
parents so badly need and cherish
a better place for their children
to play than on the streets. Marion
Smith and Jo Patterson are in
charge of this project.

As chairman of the girl Scout
program Mickey Molyneaux will

Scotties interested in working
with the Girl Scouts, either by
leading a troop or by helping a
troop leader. If you were ever an
ardent Girl Scout, why not dust
off the handbook and relive some
good times?

Juniors and Seniors here's an
exclusive project for you, of which
Carol Hickey will be chairman:
Juvenile Court. It's hard to evalu-
ate the gratification of working
with any project, but if the idea
of helping disillusioned girls our
own age is appealing, then maybe
this is your project.

The purpose behind juvenile
court is an unselfish and unpre-
tentious sharing of our time and
energy with girls that need a fresh
outlook on life. Scotties come to
juvenile court to sew, cook, paint
nails or roll hair, but always their
friendship is prized above any
material thing they can do.

At the Mary Elizabeth Rest
Home, which is essentially an old
folks home on College Avenue, the
presence of young people is espe-
cially inspiring. These elderly peo-
ple welcome the friendship of
Scott girls and look forward to
the rejuvenation of thought that
we can provide. Jinna Clark is in
charge of this project.

In the same vicinity across
from Columbia Seminary is the
Methodist Children's Home where
Scott girls lead a recreational pro-
gram for children of elementary
school age. As the chairman of
this project, Ann Durrance and
Judy Cruthids, may tell you, these
children, who often come from
orphanages or broken homes, have
a terrific need for love and affec-
tion.

In fact, after a few visits to the
home a volunteer can notice the
progress in their response to the
concern that we have for them.

This is also true at Serpassion,
another name for "Service With
Compassion," which meets at the
Atlanta Girls' Club.

Here girls from the low socio-
economic area around the club
meet after school for cooking and
sewing classes. Often they go to
the park or dance and listen to
records.

This is a particular area where
Scott girls can do a tremendous
service. Through affectionate
attention to the needs of these
children we can engage them in
more interesting activities than
the streets can offer.

At the Scottish Rite Hospital
the work is more sedate, but
equally as gratifying. This project
deals with crippled childreen up to
the age of fifteen, and when we
go there it is usually to read aloud
to 'them and most important of all
to be a companion.

These children are thrilled to
have attention, especially from
the person who ignores thedr
braces and crutches and accepts
them for what they are.

Assistance is also greatly appre-
ciated at 'the Sheltering Arms Day
Nursery, and on Friday after-

Southeastern Fair Offers
Midway Games Exhibits

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

There's a fine art to fair-going, and everyone has a talent
for it! If you're bursting with anticipation, clad in clothes
nothing can hurt, and hungry for cotton-candy, your night
is guaranteed to be a masterpiece of fun at the Southeastern
Fair.

The fair is even educational this
year. In the Exhibit Hall there is
a perfect replica of TELSTAR, and
brides- tonbe can see "quick to fix"
meal demonstrations. (Better take
along the husband-to-be, too).

Just because it's so delightful,
visit LITTLE BOY BLUE'S FARM.
He's asleep under the haystack,
Jack and Jill are tumbling down
the hill, and Mary's little lamb
has gone off to school without her
it's alive, even to the inhabi-
tants of the Swiss cheese mouse
town!

The easiest way to win a
teddybear without which no
trip to the fair is complete is
to stand up a coke bottle with
a ring on a string. Ifs not as
easy as it looks, but you do
have a sporting chance!
You'll just have time to grab a
hot dog and a cup of the fair-
ground's own special version of
coffee (bears some resemblance
to Scott's-burnt ! ) before the ex-
travaganza, FIESTA in the SKIES,
begins ait 10:30. With narration,
musical effects, and gigantic mov-
ing sets, it's the greatest display
of fireworks Atlanta has ever
seen and it's free!

As you're leaving, completely
pooped but happy, with Teddy
Bear in tow, stop for a swoop
down the giant SLIDING BOARD.
Somebody will be at the bottom
to catch you!

Then you'll have learned the
fine art of fair-going, and you'll
never have enjoyed anything
more! See you at the fair?

in the spirit of
things, stand in
the middle of the
Million - Dollar,
Mile-Long Mid-
way and just
look around you
at the maze
of brilliant lights
at the man cry-
ing "Get your
souvenirs:", at the eyes of a little
child.

Then on to the rides! At last,
you too can be an astronaut.
The METEOR, a new addition to
the fair, gives you your own per-
sonal orbital flight into space,
dipping, spinning, and diving at
an incredible speed. Try this one
before you stop for that foot-
long hot-dog!

If your courage is still intact,
ride the HIMALAYA. This was a
big attraction art the 1958 World's
Fair in Brussels, and was only re-
cently purchased for the U. S.
(You'll be riding history in the
making).

For those who prefer getting
their thrills vicariously, Dapper
Dan of the HURRICANE HELL
DRIVERS drives his car from
amazing heights through burning
hoops. (One report has it that
this "really isn't much," however.)
But of course there are the
safer thrills provided by the
FUN HOUSE and the GLASS
HOUSE, and nothing has ever
been dreamed up to top a ride
on the gaily painted, happy
CAROUSEL.

ing Seniors Report
Ireland, France Delightful

"Paris lived up to all my expectations, it is more like a
personality than a city." "The Irish people have a fantastic
way of speaking of the past as though it were the present."
The above quotes came from seniors Lyn Lindskog and
Nancy Gheesling who spent their junior years in France and
Ireland respectively.

Nancy studied at Trinity College
in Dublin while Lyn was at The
University of Paris under the
Sweetbriar program. Both girls re-
port that the European universi-
ties allow much more social and
academic freedom than is common-
ly found in American universities.
Nancy says that the faculty-stu-
dent relationship at Trinity is
close but relatively impersonal.

Although Lyn and Nancy took
courses that will count toward
their Agnes Scott degree, they
found the academic systems to be
different from ours. In the uni-
versities they attended there are
two main divisions ; General
Studies, a program resembling our
Liberal Arts and Honors, in which

a student studies the same subject
for four years.

Nancy discovered the Irish
people to be very friendly but says
that they have no sense of time.
She might wait several minutes
for an over-due bus, but when it
finally arrived she was sure of be-
ing greeted with a smile and "My
Lady". Nancy is sure she spent
hours waiting for service in stores
and for the postman to finally de-
liver the mail.

According to Lyn, Parisian
drivers would never get a license
in the United States. There are
neither speed limits nor set lanes;
therefore, the Frenchmen rush
their cars along which ever part of
the street happens to be empty
at the moment. Lyn remembers
that it took her forty minutes to
get up enough courage to cross the
Champs-Elysees for the first time.

Speaking in a more serious vein,
Lyn said, "Living in a foreign
country with the opportunity to
meet and talk to all types of
people was a very broadening
experience. In spite of the lang-
uage barrier, I met people that I
know will be life-long friends." In
speaking of the French people Lyn
commented that they have a very

"Out Of Wee-juns
A Scottie's Plight

By FRANCES ANDERSON

The other day, a Scottie hobbled into the Hub and sat
down, remarking, "I don't know why I bought these weejuns.
They are killing my feet!" A few minutes later this question
was batted around. Just how many Scott students on this
campus are wearing weejuns and why?

Everyone began defending the

shoes they were wearing. "Why
they are just better shoes," one
said. "They last at least a year
and for me that's a record," an-
other Scottie exclaimed.

During this conversation I
couldn't help thinking that the
real reason was being ignored.

The next day I
went downtown
shopping with a
friend who need-
ed a new pair of
loafers not
loafers but wee-
juns. We asked
| in the only three
stores in the
huge city of Atlanta that carry
weejuns| Of course, they were
without said article and all orders
were two months late in arriving.

One salesman threw his hands in
the air saying, "Well I guess you
are about the thousandth person
in the past week to come in here
asking for weejuns. We just don't
have any in stock. What does this
shoe have that the others don't?

"We have lots of other brands
here but they don't sell. Why, yes-
terday a boy came in here all in
a panic. He had to have a pair of
weejuns or he wouldn't be able to
join a particular high school fra-
ternity."

At this point my friend and I
were thoroughly disgusted with
the whole subject. Since when
does a brand of shoe become a
test of a person's character?
We decided to forego the wee-
juns and retreated to a less ex-
pensive shoe store only to get this
sales pitch; "Do you want the
weejun type-loafer we are sell-
ing a lot of those now. They look
just like the real McCoy and are
half as expensive!" My friend
shuddered and perish the
thought, bought a different style
of loafer.

So now, apparently the status
symbol of our generation is some-
thing as mundane as a pair of
shoes.

Our generation has been
termed apathetic but I hard-
ly think so when it can get all
riled up when a certain ship-
ment of a certain article of

apparel is two months late.

Shoes are only the beginning.
We all must have a certain type
of socks, of skirts and blouses. I
shudder to think of the conse-
quences all this brand wearing
has done and is doing to our gen-
eration and to many of us on this
campus.

If we are so willing to give up
our individuality in clothes tastes
then what about our individual
feelings and thoughts? Will these
not be sacrificed to the over-
powering god of conformity?
(Note I said "will" I hope they
are not already on the sacrificial
pyre.)

If you like certain clothes be-
cause they are becoming to you
or are true reflections of your
tastes, fine! But, if it is because
Sally and Mary and just every-
body has them, be careful. Soon
those ideas and convictions will
no longer be ours and our identity
will be lost in a whirl of Shetland
sweaters, McMullen collars and
weejuns.

We may wake up some day to
find our closets full of Mc-
Mullen blouses, wrap around
skirts and weejuns and a mind
that years ago ceased to func-
tion beyond deciding what Mc-
Mullen blouse went best with
which madras skirt.

At first there was the fear that
the Peace Corps was going to take

there has been a high measure of
public acceptance.

Students Ignore Chances
To Break Campus Apathy

By MARILYN LITTLE

It is rumored that the students of Agnes Scott are for the
most part unaware of the vast opportunities which lie in
wait for them at every turn, or if they are aware of these
opportunities, they do not take advantage of them. Could
this be true? Could a school with such an alert, demanding,
and intelligent student body be so apathetic?

Let us examine some typical
instances of this phenomena called
indifference." Here is the library,
with wonderful advantages for
those who study, such as good
lighting and soundproofing, yet it
is scarcely filled.

While the study smokers, where
visibility is admittedly dim and
nodse is omnipresent, are packed.

Another typical example is the
Hub, where fun and fellowship
abound. Yet some freshmen come
in trembling in fear of upper-
classmen. (Note that some seniors
tremble too, but one must con-
sider their advancing years.) And
many people do not come at all,
hence they miss all that fun.

Let us not make the same mis-
take again by ignoring the sports
opportunities provided. For ex-
ample, archery is now open in the
afternoons for everyone interested.
William Tell Lapp will give needed
instructions.

Swimming is also open in the
afternoons, which could mean a
refreshing dip after one of your
hard days of learning. Further-
more, tennis practice has begun in
earnest for the Singles Tourna-

Scott Starts Program
Of Alumnae Education

The Education Committee of the
Alumnae Association and the
Faculty Committee on Alumnae
Affairs will present a pilot project
in continuing education for alum-
nae this quarter after more than
a year of preparation.

Two courses of five classes each
will be offered to Scott alumnae
and their husbands in the Atlanta
area, from Oct. 23-Nov. 20. The
series will not be open to students.

The first course will be a study
of "Life in Latin America Today."
In this series Mr. John Tumblin,
Mrs. Edgar Dunstan, Mr. W. D.
Cornelius and Miss Marie Huper
will lecture respectively on the
social and anthropological, the
literary, the political, and the
artistic aspects of Latin Ameei-
can culture. The final program will
by a symposium on current prob-
lems in which Mr. Cornelius will
moderate a panel composed of Mrs.
Dunstan, Miss Huper and Mr.
Tumblin.

A course in "The Nature of the
Self" will follow. This series will
include five lectures presenting dif-
ferent approaches to the concept
of Self. Miss Mary Boney will dis-
cuss the concept found in the
Bible, and Mr. Kwai Sing Chang
will present the self as found in
oriental religions. Mrs. Melvin
Drucker, Miss Ellen Douglass
Leyburn and Dr. Wallace Alston
will present the contemporary con-
cepts of the self in psychology,
drama and theology.

These two courses, the admini-
stration hopes, will lead to the
growth of a strong Scott alumnae
education program. Tentative
plans are being made to tape-re-
cord each lecture, and reading lists
for the courses will be published.
These will be available to alumnae
clubs for use in planning programs.

An Indefinable Spirit

You the Class of 1966 may have grave doubts as to the
nature of Black Cat night. AU you know about it so far is
that it will feature several of your talented classmates on
the stage, and that you and the rest of your class will parade
into the gym, sing your song, and sit down.

Perhaps you are asking yourself if this
Black Cat is just another link in the chain
of incongruities you have found between
your high school dream of college life and
life as you have experienced it so far at
Agnes Scott.
How different Agnes Scott is from the
schools your friends are attending! Your
closest friend has written that she has
pledged Tau Kappa Rho at the old State U.
^^"herletter was positively oozing love for her newly found
sisters.

The only person who "rushed" you was your Junior Spon-
sor, and she did not offer anything nearly so elegant as
"Sisterhood."

Your high school rival the one you loathed has been
named "Miss Dream Girl" by the best fraternity at the uni-
versity. The fraternity you rushed for did not ask you to be
their sweetheart: it would be an out and out lie to say that
they even knew you were there.

Another friend writes to you that she made an A on her
first quiz this year. You did not consider this a feat until
she added that she had neither hought the text hook nor
attended class. There seems to he more poetic justice here
than at State U. not only did you huy your text and go
to class, you actually studied hard for that quiz you made
a C-minus on.

To top it all off, your mother writes that she saw Suzy's
mother, and that the boys are "just standing in line to date
Suzy!" (You ponder Suzy's plight while sitting alone on
Saturday night.)

You look with wonder at the upperclassmen and ask your-
self: "How in the world have they stood it here for such a
long, long time? This is not what college is supposed to be
like. This is only my mother's idea of college."

You are quite right: Agnes Scott is very different from
most colleges and universities, and that is putting it mildly.
But we upperclassmen have found something here that is
more meaningful to us than are the ordinary trappings
of college life.

We cannot name this special something for you, but it has
made us glad that we are not enrolled at State U. We no
longer envy our hometown friends when we exchange ex-
periences with them during vacations. We sit quietly with
a somewhat smug pride that we are not a part of all that
college means to them.

We rarely mention the feeling we have for Agnes Scott,
but there are times when it is prevalent spontaneously,
as with a group around the Hub piano, or deliberately, as
on Black Cat night. So plan on coming to Black Cat this
Friday, and enter into its spirit. For the spirit behind Black
Cat is indicative of that intangible "something" that has
made each upperclassman return. C.W.

Distortion Of Aims

College lasts four years. That's a long time. It is a time
filled with friends, fun and frustration. It is a time in which
we are allowed to grow and to become aware of ourselves
and our potentialities.

Ideally, college opens the way for us in
order that we may find meaning in our lives.
Realistically, college usually opens the door
for us to social status and a well-paid job.
This outcome is not deplorable, but it is
damaging since it clouds and distorts the
aims of higher education.

On this campus there are numerous
examples of this distortion of goals. We
all know girls who are here "because
there is nothing else to do," or "because Granny and Mother
came here," or "because Johnny has two more years of
school."

Seldom do we hear that someone really wants to be chal
lengcd and to learn. Seldom do friends discuss the fact that
the more they learn, the more they realize the boundless
ness of the realm of knowledge.

This distortion of aims ?s not the fault of the administra-
tion or the faculty. It is the fault of society. Stress is placed
on the lucrative and social advantages that a degree offers.
This is a natural phenomenon resulting from our capitalistic
democratic philosophy.

What can be done? Very little. The colleges endlessly
state their goals, but society pays no heed. It is the task
of the students to listen, to understand and to make known
to society the real aims of higher education. If students
will allow themselves to be broadened by education, to
be shown its true aims, there is hope. M L L.

Internationally Speaking

U. S. Ambassador Explains
Independence in Pakistan

By Guest Columnist LELIA JONES

Under the auspices of the newly-created World Awareness
Committee, Mr. Walter McConaughy, the U. S. Ambassador
to Pakistan, was presented two weeks ago in the cabin.

Mr. McConaughy, in giving a
description of Pakistan, said that
she has become increasingly im-
portant in world

pre:

affairs since be-
coming a sepa-
rate country in
1947. Until last
June there has
been martial law
in Pakistan un-
der the direction
of Ayub Khan,
Pakistan.

There is now a form of repre-
sentative government and the
country is trying to adopt more
of the U. S. legislative system in
addition to their British parlia-
mentary procedures.

Free World Committment

Unlike India with its neutralists
policies Pakistan is completely
committed to the free world. Her
people, according to Mr. McCon-
aughy, are very much like Ameri-
cans in their outgoing, fairly di-
rect qualities.

Religion in Pakistan cannot be
overemphasized. It was the chief
cause of the rift between Pakis-
tan and India. To Pakistanis the
Moslem faith is not only a theol-
ogy but also an ideology.

Although not a theocratic state,
Pakistan has as its driving force
this religion to which a great ma-
jority of the people adhere.

The U. S. fully recognizes
Pakistan as an independent coun-
try. India is also given full recog-
nition. The U. S. believes that the
two should be able to live next
to each other in peace and is do-
ing her utmost to bring about this
coexistence.

Kashmir Dispute

Coexistence is unforeseeable in
the near future, however, because

A *Neat* System
Of An Education V

By FRANCES ANDERRSON

Once upon a college campus a petite frosh found herself.
Now this frosh was filled with a determination to do well
in college.

She made out a study schedule
and spent her
free time in the
college library
delving into her
books, outlining
and memorizing.
She would study
every night until
the library
closed. Then she
would tumble into her bed content
with her days' accomplishments.

It bothered her a bit that her
roomy never studied. In fact her
roomy was quite proud of this
fact. "I haven't cracked a book
in three weeks. As for the libra-
ry who ever thinks of going
there. I didn't even go to those
stupid library classes."

of the dispute over Kashmir, which
has close ties with both India and
Pakistan. Through the years the
U. N. suggestion that the dispute
be settled by means of a plebiscite
in Kashmir has been lost in the
shuffle.

Afghanistan and the Northwest
frontier are the components of
another of Pakistan's chief prob-
lems.

Because of the dispute between
Pakistan and Afghanistan over the
Patahns, roving tribesmen, Af ghan-
istan has had to look to Russia
for trade. This has given the Rus-
sians a definite advantage; there
is a possibility that Afghanistan
will become a satellite country.
This would be disastrous not only
in Asia but also to the whole Free
World.

U. S. Aid

The U. S. effort in Pakistan is
on an economic and a military
basis. With its 90 million popula-
tion it receives $250 million yearly
from the U. S. This aid helps to
combat problems resuluting from
the fact that at this point the
yearly population increase is out-
running that in production.

Through military assistance the
U. S. helps Pakistan defend her-
self against Russia and China.

Pakistan is standing fast on her
alliances with SEATO and SENTO,
but she also has her doubts as to
the effectiveness of these two or-
ganizations. She feels strongly
about being a new nation and
therefore has a definite affinity
with the countries revolting
against nationalism. This affinity
is directed toward the Afro-Asian
group which is basically uncom-
mitted.

"Cram! It's very simple. You
just cram in the facts the night
before the test and spout them
back the next day. And don't say
that it doesn't work. Look around
you. How many upperclassmen do
see you pricking o the library
and studying every night? Not
many. They all cram. It's the only
way! A junior told me and she
does it and so do her friends and
they got to be juniors so . . ."

Two weeks later the pair of
frosh had a history test. One
studied until eleven and the
other stayed up all night. "Well
what did you think of that test?,
our heroine asked her room-
mate after the test.

"Well ... I really don't know.
I can't even remember the ques-
tions let alone what sort of an-
swers I put down."

When they got their papers back
their grades were the same. Our
heroine rebelled, "This is ridicu-
lous. Why should I study every
night when one night's work can
get the job done?"

Thus began the vicious circle
of cramming all night and sleep-
ing in the daytime. This circle
continued for three years. Then
one day our matured crammers
were just sitting around.

"Roomy? A freshman came up
to me yesterday and asked me a
question about European history.
I couldn't even understand the
question let alone give an answer.
I sometimes wonder if I haven't
wasted three years here. Why, if
we had comprehensives I would
fail so flat! I don't know what the
word study means any more."

"I don't know either. You know,
we're in a big fat empty rut
Where did I get the idea that it
was neat to cram and neat to see
how much you could get by with,
without studying. You know that
sheepskin we are getting in June
won't be a symbol of an educated
woman. It will stand for the
despicable waste of the college's
efforts to educate us, and the
waste of our time and our parents'
money."

Book Competition Begins;
McKinney Awards Prize

As a special incentive to increase our personal libraries,
each year the Louise McKinney Book Award of fifty dollars
is given to the student who acquires during the current year
from May to May, the most interesting and discrininating
personal library and who reveals a real understanding of her
books. - ;

To be eligible for the Award, a
collection must contain at least fif-
teen ibooks. These may be inex-
pensive editions or second-hand

entries in the Book Award
Contest.

books; it is expected, however, that
the collector will choose as a
foundation for a listing library, the
best standard editions and well-
made books in good condition.

Paperback editions are accept-
able if they have a durable cover
of good quality.

A collection may contain gifts,
but the whole collection is except-
ed to give evidence of the collec-
tor's own initiative and discriminat-
ing choice.

The books should represent
genuine personal taste and ingen-
uity of search, in several fields of
interest or in a particular field,
such as any of the sciences, fiction
or non-fiction, philosophy, drama,
history or art.

Book collectors should enter the
contest as soon as possible. The
names of the contestants must be
submitted to some member of the
English Department by the end of
the fall quarter.

In May a committee of judges
will examine the collections and
informally interview the book
owners.

The winner, who will be an-
nounced at a Convocation, will
be expected to use the award for
some kind of intellectual or artis-
tic enrichment: buying books, pic-
tures or records, attending
plays or concerts. Sharon Atkins

was last year's winner.

The Award was established a
number of years ago as a tribute
to Miss Louise McKinney, pro-
fessor emeritus of English, who,
during her years of teaching,
awakened in many Agnes Scott
students a love of reading and a
delight in the ownership of books.
Living very near the campus, Miss
McKinney, at 94, still takes a live-
ly interest in campus life.

as a guest house for the college,
but also it is the location of the
Alumnae Office. The National
Alumnae Association, which has
its headquarters here, is an un-
obstrusive, but vital and integral
part of Agnes Scott's program,
and the college is fortunate to
have a devoted and competent
staff.

Members of the staff are as fol-
lows: Ann Worthy Johnson, '38,
Director of Alumnae Affairs; Doro-
thy Weakly, '56, Assistant Direc-
tor of Alumnae Affairs; Nancy
Jane Boothe Higgins (Mrs. Frede-
rick B., Jr.), '61, Secretary; and
Mrs. Johannes Schepman, Alum-
nae House Manager.

Although the Association has
many projects, its primary func-
tion is to keep up with graduates
and maintain the college's ties with
them. A scrapbook is made for
each class containing such infor-
mation about the graduates such
as marriage announcements or any
publicity they have received.

Addresses are available of about
eight hundred alumnae, who vol-
unteer information about their
occupations.

Agnes Scott reciprocates by
publishing an Alumnae Quarterly
magazine, another one of the
Association's major functions.

In addition, each alumnae re-
ceives an annual letter from her
class president, who also acts as
a fund agent shades of the class
dues collector!

weekend every year and planning
a tea for the freshmen, the alum-
nae staff engages in fund-raising
campaigns and particularly
through the channels of the thirty-
five alumnae clubs sprinkled
throughout the country.

At the moment a donation pro-
gram is being initiated in order to
raise money for the Agnes Scott
Fund. Now, parents and friends
connected with the college, as well
as 'alumnae, are invited to con-
tribute, whereas formerly only
alumnae were invited.

The money hopefully raised
from this project will serve to in-
crease faculty salaries.

Perhaps a highlight of the
alumnae projects for this year is
its program of "Continuous Edu-
cation for Alumnae." An educa-
tional committee has planned a
series of consecutive lectures
within two topics, "Life in Latin
America," and "The Nature of the
Self." These lectures will begin
on an experimental basis during
fall quarter and will meet on Tues-
day evenings from October 23
through November 20.

Atlanta alumnae and their hus-
bands have been invited to attend
and it is hoped that the response
to the program will stimulate its
expansion in the future.

At last Autumn is really, really here! The trees are bursts
of red and gold against a brilliant blue sky, the air smells
nostalgic, the sun's warmth is golden, and life is too, too

The special train leaves At-

This scenic trip takes only 30 min-

11:00 - 5:30 on Saturday and Sun-

Or pack a picnic (mind that

Start out early Sunday, as the
drive takes three hours. It gets
cooler there sooner, so the
leaves should be about right
about now. Be sure to take a
heavy sweater.

There's a friendly old mountain
there called SETULAH (See-tool-
ah) by the weather-beaten moun-
taineers who sit around the
square. Ask one of them how to
get there, and make your way to
the top (you can drive over half-
way up) for a fantastic view of
mountain ran^e after mountain

were the only human beings in a

is like that.

It-or-Not collec-
tion of phenom-
ena. Lest I rash-
ly call the kettle
black, however,
it seems neces-
sary to point out
that the Sopho-
mores and the
Juniors turned
out only nine players, while the
I Freshmen mustered up an entire
I team eleven strong.

Needless to say, hockey sea-
son begins at Black Cat Friday. It
looks as if the Freshmen will
win by forfeit, without even
having run up and down the
field once. Although it is nice
to make the Freshmen feel at
ease here at school, there is a
limit to the easiness with which
they should be allowed to take
over.

The obscure point in all this is
that since hockey practice is on
Wednesday and Thursday after-
noons, and since you only have to
come out twice before the open-
ing game, you still have a chance
to play in Friday's game if you
take advantage of the available
time remaining. Hockey is great
fun for all, so why not come out.
In the process, incidentally, you
may preserve your class's pride.

Among other interesting and
rewarding activities approach-
ing is the "Roommate" Shoot in
Archery, October 9th. Fresh-
men, any roommates you'd like
to get rid of?

Mrs. Lapp will bake a delicious
cake for the winning pair of
roommates even if there is only
one of them left.

In addition, practice has begun
for the Swimming Meet, October
30th. There are twelve different
events, so everyone may find one
in which she can excel. Susie Ger-
hard t, Micki Molyneaux, Barbara
Chambers and Janet Hodge, and
Valerie McLanahan are class
managers, so contact them if you
would like to compete on behalf
of your class.

No. 4

Archaeologist
Talks Thursday

Speaking to the Agnes Scott
Campus tomorrow night in Camp-
bell Hall Dr. Rhys Carpenter, the
University Center Visiting Scholar,
will discuss "What Makes Greek
Sculpture Good?"

He is presently the Emeritus
Professor of Classical Archaeology
at Bryn Mawr College and the
Andrew Professor of Classics at
the University of Pittsburgh.

Having received his M.A. degree
at Balliol College, Oxford, and his
Ph.D. from Columbia University,
Dr. Carpenter went on to become
the Director of the American School
of Classical Studies in Athens
(1927-32, 1946-48), the Professor-
in-Charge of the Classical School
at the American Academy in Rome
(1939-40), to mention only a few
of his achievements.

Among some of his publications
are: The Aestlietic Basis of Greek
Art, The Humanistic Value of
Archaeology, Folk Tale, Fiction
and Saga in the Homeric Epics,
and Greek Sculpture: A Critical
Review.

He will be speaking at Emory
University on Wednesday, October
24, at 8:00 on the subject of "The
Esthetics of Greek Architecture".

Dr. John F. Dashiell, former
chairman of the department of
psychology at the University of
North Carolina and now a visit-
ing professor at Emory, will
speak to the Psychology Club
Monday, October 29, at 7:30 in
Walters Recreation Room. All
psychology majors and other in-
terested students are invited.
Dr. Dashiell's topic will be:
"What is Intuition?"

(L.) Joanne Mark and Mr. Warren study Aldo Nava's painting ITALIAN TREES; the painting on their
right is Marcel Meuly's STREET IN SPAIN. (R.) Three Agnes Scott students pause to discuss Locca's
CHILD AND CLOWN, one of the more than forty paintings now on display in the Art Department's
gallery.

Dalton Art Exhibit Opens;
Features Oils, Lithographs

Opening last Sunday with a
more than forty paintings and

European and American artists
from the seventeenth century to
the present day are represented.
Many media from oil and tempera
to lithographs and water colors
were used.

Mr. Dalton, of Charlotte, N. C,
is married to an Agnes Scott
graduate and is the father of Betsy
Dalton, '61. His collection was
originally seen by Dr. McCain at
Davidson last year and brought
here through his efforts and those
of the art department.

The particular pictures in this
showing were selected by Mr.
Ferdinand Warren, head of the
Agnes Scott Art Department, from
Mr. Dalton's complete collection.

Mr. Dalton says he tries, in his
collection, "To represent as many
different schools of painting, from

tea, the Harry L. Dalton collection of Fine Arts, including
prints, is now on display in the Buttrick Gallery.

Debating Club To Participate
In Forthcoming Tournaments

Pi Alpha Phi, Agnes Scott's debating club, has made big
plans for the school year. Their first project will be to take
part in a tournament on October 26 to be held at Mercer
University in Macon, Georgia.

The topic of discussion will be
"Resolved: That non-Communist
nations should form economic
communities."

Judy Little and Betty Brown wDl
take the affirmative side while
Jean Hoefer and Margaret Rogers
take the negative. Dr. Lee Copple
will go with the group to Macon
in Dr. Hayes' absence.

Other plans in the near future
include tryouts for prospective
members. These tryouts are open
to Sophomores, Juniors and
Seniors. Freshmen will be allowed
to try-out in the spring. Anyone
interested is urged to try-out.

Experience is not necessary, and
the club objective is to learn to
speak before people logically. For
those people who are not interest-
ed in debating, there are the duties
of doing analysis and critical work.

Plans are still in the making for
the tournament to be held here
on January 11 and 12. Pi Alpha
Phi is expecting to make other
trips to intercollegiate tourna-
ments. They also plan to sponsor
some Hub debates.

Swimmers To Meet
In Annual Class Tilt

Even though it's the middle of
hockey season, another sport gains
the spotlight this week.

On Tuesday, October 30, at 7:30
p.m. the 1962 Swimming Meet will
get under way. Among twelve fea-
tured events will be form swim-
ming, diving, individual relays,
group relays, and the ever popular
comic relay.

Gerald, over-all swimming man-
ager has announced.

Class managers for the event are
Valerie McLanahan, Micki Moly-
neaux, Susie Gebhardt, Barbara
Chambers and Janet Hodge.

The sophomore class is defending
champion, having nosed out the
juniors by one point in last year's
meet.

Leyburn Talk Highlights
Honor Emphasis Week

Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn, faculty speaker for Honor
Emphasis Week, addressed the student body in Convocation
today on the topic "On Not Being a Bearer of the Plague.

The basis of Miss Leyburn's '

speech came from "The Plague",
by Albert Camus, and dealt with
the conception of integrity as an
affirmation of the self. This con-
cept was presented through the
character Tarrou, whose ideal of
life was not to be a carrier of the
plague.

Lasting from October 22-26,
Honor Emphasis Week is dedicated
to discussions and speeches per-
taining to the theme topic, "Why
Honor?".

In Monday chapel, Mrs. Gail
Weber, a transfer student, spoke
on "Honor and Freedom". Mary
Ann Lusk led the Hub discussion
Monday night.

Yesterday a panel discussion was
held in chapel on "Honor in the

Woman's World". Panelists were
Miss Evelyn Green, Miss Sarah
Frances MacDonald, Mrs. Bealy
Smith, and Mrs. Edward Hamler.
Margaret Rodgers, a junior, was
moderator.

At 10:30 p.m., October 23, hall
discussions concerning honor and
its relationship to the entire stu-
dent body were held in the dorms
and cottages.

Further events of the week will
be a Hub discussion at 9:00 p.m.
Wednesday, October 24, led by
President Wallace M. Alston; and
in Thursday chapel, October 25,
Mr. Lee B. Copple, Associate Pro-
fessor of Psychology, will present
the results of his experiment on
academic honesty.

Classical Fraternity

Sigma Phi, national classics honor-
ary, has selected eight new mem-
bers.

Chosen for outstanding work and
interest in classics are Dorothy
Bellinger, Cindy Coleman, Ann
Debele, Susan Keith-Lucas, Caro-
lyn Monroe, Ginger Pinckard, Dee-
die Withers, and Chi-Chi White-
head.

study several Greek tragedies dur-
ing the year and may send a dele-
gate to the national convention in
Baltimore next spring.

Officers of the fraternity are
Martha McKinnon, president; Edna
Vass, vice-president; Jane Wood-
ell, secretary ;and Mrs. Sigrid
Hanson Fowler, treasurer.

Dr. Land Discusses
Purpose Of History

Dr. Aubrey C. Land, an expert in
the field of American Colonial
History, spoke in Maclean Monday
on "The Tasks of History."

Professor Land, chairman of the
History Department at the Uni-
versity of Maryland spoke as guest
of the University Center of Geor-
gia.

Dr. Land also spoke at Emory on
Monday; on Tuesday he was the
guest of other institutions in At-
lanta; today he is speaking at the
University of Georgia.

C. A. Plans Activity
Relying On Pledges

Among the many activities of
Christian Association recently are
the attractive bulletin boards in
the mailroom, C. A. work projects,
and the budget for this term.

Although more people pledged
their financial support to C. A.
this year than last, less money was
pledged. Yet C. A. raised the pro-
posed budget for this year be-
lieving that a larger percentage of
pledges will be fulfilled.

The budget is divided into three
sections: Our World will receive
$500 this year. Our Country $300,
and Our Campus $150. These head-
ings represent many worthwhile
projects, such as the Korean Mis-
sionary Fund through which the
Cranes depend for one-fifth of
their salary.

In order to have effective lead-
ership, C. A. sends its president
and several of its members to
training conferences each year. On
campus, C. A. sponsors Religious
Emphasis Week, the Interfaith
Council, the World Relatedness
Committee, and various projects.

There will be a very important;
meeting of the NEWS staff to--
night in the Pub at 6:45.

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, October 24, 1962

Student Forum

Editor's Note: TJie following statements from members of the stu-
dent body are offered this week in lieu of editorials as a pan of Honor
Emphasis Week.

The idea that the Honor System exists only to replace a
police system is initially discarded by most individuals in
seeking to define the basic validity of the Honor System. They
I realize the importance of the rules if we are
to live in a non-chaotic community, but they
also realize that the rules are not the most
(profound part of the Honor System.
The Agnes Scott Honor System in its
highest form approaches man affirmitive-
ly. It presupposes that man can be trusted
to be true to his word and to his fellow
human beings. However, if we live by this
tenet only for nine months out of a year
for lour years out of our lives, we have ignored the greatest
opportunity offered by the Honor System.
The affirmative belief in man muust be an integrate part
of our lives when we leave the college, or we make a
mockery of the Honor System as it is ait Agnes Scott.

Nancy Yontz

We speak of the "honor system" when what we really mean
is "the rules." For me there is no such thing as "living by
an h onor system " unless that "System" is one of personal
responsibility and self discipline. Honor is an
intensely personal thing as Webster has
it, "a nice sense of what is right, just, and
true, with course of life correspondent there-
to."

The honor involved with abiding by the
| rules does not lie in the fact that you'll never
get into trouble that way. The honor comes
only after each of us has recognized and
accepted the responsibility which we owe
yery commitment we make, and then has conducted her
toward a positive fulfillment of the commitment. Where
is the sense of self-respect (from which honor must proceed)
in abiding by the rules with great bitterness, complaining,
and resentment?

Or where is the sense of honor in half-hearted academic
work? Certain situations may not be altogether pleasing,
but dissatisfaction does not relieve us of responsibility to
the pledge we have made simply by coming here. One can
abide by the rules and remain entirely without a sense of
honor. For honor touches the spirit of our obedience, not
the letter of the law alone.

Sally Ector

lif

In the midst of all the discussion on honor, we must stop
to realize that although the Honor Tradition is ideal, it does
work. It is an integral part of our life which allows us to
establish relationships that would be impossible in a dif-
ferent atmosphere.

It demands a respect for the persons with
whom we live and a personal integrity for
ourselves. A tradition of honor is not a set
of rules handed down by the Board of Trus-
tees and the Administration and preached
each year. Obviously, these would not be
effective if people ignored them.

The Honor Tradition is an atmosphere and
a belief which permeates the campus. It is
passed on from year to year in the course of
1 interest among individuals,
lea of "dual responsibility," the concept which
gives the Honor Tradition its strength, comes in. No person
who believes in something will stand by and watch it be
destroyed. However, it goes further, for no friend will
stand by and watch another be destroyed.
We have heard the warning that college is a one time
chance these days that once out, there may never be a
cfoamee to be in again. For this reason the exercise of dual
responsibility is also a concern for the well-being of friends.

Although the Honor Tradition gives a freedom of action it
does not give the freedom of destruction.

In practicing dual responsibility we are not only protecting
the Honor Tradition from destruction, which is our duty,
we are showing interest and concern in friends before it is
too late.

U. S. Peace Corps Volunteer
Writes of Africia Adventure

Editor's note: The following article is composed of excepts from
a letter written by Brownie Lee, sister of Agnes Scott student Eleanor
Lee. Brownie is presently serving with tlte Peace Corps in Lama-Kara,
West Africa.

October 3, 1962

"This letter comes to you from Lama-Kara, a small beau-
tiful town in the northern mountains of Togo, West Africa.
After all the weeks and weeks of training I am here at
last doing what I have been trained for . . .

We live in a wonderful little
concrete house. Actually it is not
little at all for us it has two
plenty big bedrooms with double
beds, a living room, a dining room,
a kitchen, a shower, and a bath-
room.

We have running water provid-
ed by a tank which the prisoners
from the village jail fill at least
twice a week. Our kitchen for the
moment contains only one kerosene
burner and a lot of cardboard
boxes. . . .

October 5, 1962
"It is now very near the end of
my first days of teaching. I am
teaching 18 hours of English at the
Cours Complementaire. My room-
mate is teaching at the College
Chaminade, a Catholic school . . .

To try to get the pronunciation,
grammar, reading, and usage all
out of a book printed in the early
forties and to try to use newly dis-
covered methods of teaching lang-
uage seems almost impossible.
However, it can somehow be done,
I hope.

They begin teaching English in
the 6th, so I have one beginning
class (even they have had some in
the primary school) and the rest
have had English before. The stu-
dents are wonderful; they really
want to learn English so they
work very hard in class. I am con-
stantly amazed at how much Eng-
lish they already know and how
much of my speech they can under-
stand (I don't think they have been
taught by a native speaker before).

Because of the students the ex-
haustion of teaching is the kind
of tired you like to be. When they
smile I feel as though the African
sun is shining even inside the un-
lighted classroom.

Also here (as in France) stu-
dents are expected to do every-
thing and anything for their teach-
ers, so that anywhere we go we
find ourselves accompanied by boys
and girls who want to carry our
books, translate into Kabre (the
language of the people here) our
letters.

The People of Lama-Kara
The people here are called the
Kabre. They are noted for being
one of the strongest and hardest-
working groups of people in Africa.
They have developed a highly com-
plicated system of agriculture;
there is only one other group
whose system can match the
Kabre's in effectiveness . . .

They have not been as much ex-
posed to western culture as the
people in the South, but. they have
a wonderful culture of their own.
Also they are the proudest
major crime is non-existent; we
are safer here than in almost any
city in the U. S. . . .

An Exciting Time
I suppose things will get to be
routine soon, but now everything
is excitingly new even cleaning
house. Almost every night and
afternoon we have visitors offi-
cials from the village, neighbors,
students, and last night an Ameri-
can . . .

All of which is to say that I am
very safe and very, very happy
here ... I do wish you could be
here to see and live all of this.

standing in a dining hall line.
This year a problem that has
always been bad has become in-
tollerable. The lines are always
huge and just creep along. After
observing for a few weeks it
would seem that the fault lies
in two causes.

There is poor organization in
the kitchen. They
are constantly
running out of
food because it is
not cooked fast
enough. There-
fore, the line
doesn't move
while we wait
for something to
come out. There needs to be real
organization and supervision to
keep food on the food line. Don't
say it can't be done because it is,
everyday in commercial cafe-
terias.

The help is slow in serving, but
they have to spend most of their
time counting plates, etc. Also,
they are constantly having to give
seconds. If people were allowed

PRATHER

majority of her time studying,
she spends most of her time

the portion they KNOW they want,
then they wouldn't have to slow
down the line coming back.
Students are to blame, too.
If we would pay attention and
give our orders quickly, they
wouldn't have to wait to find
out what we want. People either
don't say anything or mumble
what they do say.
People stop to talk in the line,
put butter in their roll, decide
which dessert they want, and day-
dream. It is no wonder that the
line moves so slowly. In some
ways we have no one to blame,
but ourselves.

It is discouraging to wait 45
minutes in line only to get there
just as they run out of the main
course. If enough good suggestions
filled the suggestion box, there is
a lot better chance of something
being done.

Maybe a committee of stu-
dents could be appointed to meet
with dining hall supervisors.
There is a solution to the prob-
lem if we could only take time
to work it out.

Emphases Ignore
Intellectual Work

By FRANCES ANDERSON

Last week, an attempt to arrange a conference between
a professor and his student ran something like this:
"Mary, when can we get

"Well I have

"Well, Mary, that leaves Friday
afternoon."

"Friday is fine. I have half an
hour between the self-study meet-
ing and the hockey game from
3:30 to 4:00 if that is convenient
with you."

This incident might be a bit
exaggerated but such incidents
occur again and again on this
campus.

There has been much talk lately
about the intellectual atmosphere
or lack of it on this campus. It is

Sally Frosh comes to Agnes
Scott bright eyed and eager to

even before she arrives? The four-
fold purpose of Agnes Scott and
what the four boards do in realiz-
ing this plan.

Dean Kline spends one hour
with the Freshmen discussing
study habits and the importance
of intellectual endeavor. The
four boards spend four years
emphasizing the importance of a
sound body, and sound soul, a
sound concept of honor and a
sound system of social graces.
We devote weeks to propaganda
and have all-out campaigns play-
ing up this four-fold idea. The re-
sult Sally Frosh is pressured
into participation on four commit-
tees. She runs the dorm parties,
the do-nut sales and the hockey
team. Sally says yes once and she
is trapped .She has said yes for
two years now. It is the easiest
thing to do.

AS IS Offers Program
For Sightseeing Work

The American Student Information Service is currently
inviting conscientious college students to work abroad, and
for the summer of 1963 there are more than 3,000 jobs avail-
able throughout Europe.

Not only does this program lo-
cate jobs abroad for young people,
but also it sponsors a series of
three Safaris, each of which con-
tains a tour of your choice
through several European coun-
tries.

Although one may participate
in a Safari without a job abroad,
he can't obtain a job through
ASIS unless he plans to join a
Safari. This program is a real
boon, since jobs abroad are ordi-
narily difficult to locate.

ASIS conveniently offers to
place you in the country and area
of your choice, whether it be
England's Lake District or the
Rh in el and Valley.

Openings include waiting-on-
tables, life guarding, office work,
factory work, hospital work, farm
work, construction work, child
care, camp-counselling positions,
and many more.

Through the wages, which
range from $175 a month for the
highest paying positions in Ger-
many to only room and board in
Spain, may appear to be less than
par for work over here, expenses
are greatly reduced.

cJletters to tlie Editor

VVAAAAA/VVVAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Dear Editor:

Last Thursday's chapel discus-
sion of the intellectual atmosphere
(or lack of it) at Scott drew from
a student a well-worded and deep-
ly-felt expression of concern that
there is not more evidence of in-
tellectual and artistic effort out-
side our classrooms. This feeling
is wide-spread and loudly-voiced
on campus, and is no doubt partial-
ly justified.

But it seems to me that it is un-
necessary and undesirable, at an
academic institution, to divorce
work done for class from genuine
intellectual effort. After all, we
are here in the expectation of find-
ing stimulation in our professors
and courses; if our main intel-
lectual efforts are largely within
the framework of class research
and assignments f is this so de-
plorable?

Of course, the sad fact is that
often we are not inspired by our
studies, and we may perform per-
functorily. But this is by no means
always the case: sculpture, paint-
ings, research, and essays which fill
an academic requirement can be
and, I believe, frequently are
the expression of genuine intel-
lectual and artistic involvement.

Ideally, an academic community
should promote the integration of
intellectual effort within and with-
out the curriculum. The implica-
tion that only extra-curricular
activity can be considered inspired
and inspiring is, I believe, invalid,
and is certainly detrimental to this
ideal of unity.

Atlanta Offers Festival '62,
Homecoming, Art Shows

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

WHAT A LIFE! WHAT A TOWN! WHAT A WEEK! THE
SCOTTY'S ONLY PROBLEM ENTERTAINMENT-WISE
WILL BE WHAT TO CHOOSE FROM THE BONANZA
OFFERED.

The week-end starts on Thurs-
day for our modern dance en-
thusiasts ."The First Lady of the
American Dance," Ruth St. Denis,
will make one of her rare public
appearances, at the Art Associa-
tion's Hill Auditorium. The 84
year-old interpretive dancer, read-
ing her original verse and nar-
rating a film presenting her most
important dance creations, should
be a bit unique, and very ex-
citing. Miss St. Denis will appear
again Friday evening.

And so will the FOUR FRESH-
MEN in Tech's coliseum, as part
of the Homecoming festivities.
Before or after, walk around to
see the displays unbelievable
what "tech"nical minds can come
up with (or down, too!)

Saturday promises to be a
good day, as Tech is bound to
beat Tulane. Agnes Scott was
well represented in the competi-
tion for Homecoming Queen
by Linda Mullins for SAE, Lynn
Miller for Sigma Chi, Becky
Reynolds for Sigma Nu, and
Mae Hall for KA.

If Tech wins, high spirits will
be on tap for the evening! Have
you tried the TTKI? Do! Poly-

nesian atmosphere is thicker than
ever under new management, and
they have evidently heard of
Scott's ban on booze they serve
a beautiful pink drink in a tall
iced glass, called HAWAIIAN
PUNCH. It looks so real ,only your
date can tell for sure.

Sunday you can divide your
time between the arts. Famous
Artists' Series opens its season
with FESTIVAL '62 at the
Municipal Auditorium (3:30).
Ifs mostly music, folk and
semi-classical, with somehow
the "voice of Mr. Magoo"
(Jim Backus) worked in.

At the Art Assocation, you can
spend a few hours in appreciation
of our great American heritage.
Through Nov. 14, 101 masterpieces
of American Primitive (means sim-
ply unschooled, not uncivilized)
Painting will be on display.

English majors, don't feel slight-
ed. Wednesday, October 31, the

"On the Square"

Dear Editor:

Caryl Pearson, Mortar Board,
and the Black Cat Committee and
cast are to be highly commended
for their production Friday night,
October 12. At last the real tradi-
tion, the true meaning of Black
Cat Day was recognized the
program was aimed directly at the
freshmen, marking their official
welcome to Agnes Scott.

The deletion of "peculiar"
campus humor and the condensa-
tion of the skits were notable im-
provements. These changes made
the program more appealing to the
campus community as well as to
out-of-town guests.

The countless hours spent in the
planning and preparation of Black
'63 certainly evidenced themselves.
Congratulations to all of those who
had a part in Black Cat ... for
a job well done!

Members of the Senior hockey team discuss game stradegy before
meeting the underclassmen on the field.

Freshman, Sophomore Classes
Take Leads For Hockey Season

By MARILYN LITTLE

Hockey, the sport of sports, Agnes Scott-wise, has begun
again, and first-of-the season enthusiasm is as high as a kite
(figuratively speaking) .

On Black Cat, the Freshmen were not even half-filled. Surpris-

played an exceptional first game,
although they were defeated by an
i even more excep-
j tional group of
Sophomores. The
I Junior - Senior
| game was mark-
! ed by flashes of
brilliance,
coupled with
moans of "Why
did s o-a n d-s o
have to transfer? I'm too tired!"

The score in this game was 4-2,
which perhaps indicates that scor-
ing is going to be at an all-time
high this year. The 1-0 score of the
first game, unfortunately, presents
equal evidence for the opposite
view.

In last Friday's games the Sopho-
mores were again victorious, chalk-
ing up an unusual 5-0 score against
their Senior sisters. The elder
team really deserves warm praise,
however, for their tremendous
turn-out, quite unusual for Seniors
in the past. Maybe THIS is the
year for true class participation
and competition.

The Freshmen and the Juniors
played a terrific game, spiritwise
and qualitywise, in which the
fired-up Frosh marked their first
victory, 3-2. The word is that these
improving Freshmen are gung-ho
to break the Sophomore record of
victories. Watch out, Dennis
there's always a first time . . .

Unfortunately, I must conclude
on a more sober note. There was
a stark contrast between the atten-
dance on Black Cat and that on
last Friday, in which the stands

ingly enough, the Freshmen were
represented by the least number
of supporters.

There is no excuse for this,
Madeline, you constitute nearly
one-third of the student body.
Maybe this week, when the Frosh
meet the Seniors, and the Sopho-
mores and the Juniors clash, we'll
see you there.

After all, since Black Cat has
come and gone, Hockey is about
the only thing left until Thanks-
giving to break the "monotony!"

Tempo

(Continued from Page 2)
discussion of world awareness n
the Hub next week? We talked
about the qualifications of several
students and you are the only one
that could do it."

"Well, I have 2 papers and 3
tests next week . .
"Don't worry, it won't take
much time. I'm glad you are doing
it. Oh 5 you will make a few posters
and talk this up in the class meet-
ings. You can get anyone you wish
on the panel.

After the discussion, we see
Sally surrounded by campus
leaders congratulating her on
the fine job. She is pleased that
she is needed and is enjoying the
recognition given her.
There is a slight worry in the
back of her mind about that test
and that paper. She knows that
she will be up all night.

Her academics will slide a bit
but it is worth it to feel "in."

Sally will be leaving Scott soon
and her list of activities partici-
pated in is long and impressive
but academic endeavor and in-
tellectual achievement is not on
that list .

Some students will argue that
academics are implicit in the
fouur-fold system here. Perhaps
this is true but I feel that they
are too implied. If academics
were so implicit in our sys-
tem, why is there all this con-
cern about the intellectual
atmosphere on this campus?
It is neat to go out for hockey
or to serve on the Lecture Com-
mittee or one of the four boards.
It is neat to study?

Blackfriars Presents
Two One-Act Dramas

Once again sets are going up, costumes are being made
and lines are being rehearsed as Blackfriars swings into
the production of its annual fall play. However, this year
it is presenting two one-act dramas instead of one three-act
play. Eugene Ionesco's "The Bald Soprano" and Brenton
Bretch's "The Measures Taken" will be produced in Gaines

on November 15 and 16.

Mr. Ionesco's play is a farcical
satire on society's ability, or rather,
lack of ability, to communicate.
Miss Roberta Winter is directing
this production. Included in the
cast of "The Bald Soprano" are
three Agnes Scott students, Mar-
garet Roberts, Ann Durrance, and
Sue Roberts.

Mr. Rice, of the Agnes Scott
faculty, Mr. Herbert Francis, of
the Emory English Department,
and Mr. Ken Haskins, an Atlanta
businessman, complete the male
side of the cast.

"The Measures Taken" by Bretch

is a didactical play written to in-
struct young members of the Com-
munist Party. It seems, however,
that Mr. Bretch did too precise a
job of presenting communism, for
the party does not allow the play
to be produced in a communist
theater.

A visiting director, Mrs. Richard
Hocking is directing this play. Mrs.
Hocking has had considerable ex-
perience in the theater and is pres-
ently head of the "Druids", a com-
munity playhouse. The cast for
this production is not yet complete
but includes Scottie Roberts, Mimi
St. Claire and Betty Earle Speer.

World Awareness Group
Works For Alert Campus

World Awareness is the concern of a newly formed com-
mittee which will function on campus this year for the first
time.

Under the leadership of Sally
Ector, the committee, composed of
representatives from the four
boards and other campus organiza-
tions, will serve as the co-ordinat-
ing body for all projects concerned
with world awareness.

The purpose of the committee is
to promote interest and enthus-
iasm in problems and happenings
in the world outside the Agnes
Scott campus. Emphasis will be
placed not only on the political
situation but also on the cultural,
moral and economic issues of the
community, the nation and the
world.

The committee plans to carry
out its purpose by the use of Hub
discussions, debates, speakers, in-
cluding foreign students in the
Atlanta area, and films which will
both inform and arouse the interest
of the campus community.

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.

Dr. Chang To Highlight
1962 Senior Investiture

By LAURA HAWES

This Saturday morning the Class of 1963 will receive from
Dean Scandrett their academic caps, the traditional sign of
official "seniordom" at Agnes Scott.

The activities of Investiture
Weekend will begin Friday. In
lieu of the mischievous boisterous-
ness of Little Girls' Day, which
has long been the terror of Scott's
underclassmen, the Class of '63
plans to observe Senior Day by
wearing their newly-acquired
academic gowns to class.

Although the seniors plan to
stand more on their dignity this
year, their solemnity does not ex-
tend to the skit which they will
present in chapel Friday. Mari-
ane Wurst is in charge of the
production of "Handbook Revisit-
ed," and Senior class president
Lelia Jones assures us that it will
be very comical.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, October 31, 1962

Enforceable Peace

Stuart Hughes, Massachusetts candidate for the United
States Senate, declared on October 24, that an invasion of
Cuba would be a "diplomatic and moral catastrophe of the
first magnitude."

We wonder that Mr. Hughes could single
out our possible invasion of Cuba as such an
outstanding example of bad diplomacy: our
relations with the Soviet Union have since
World War II been based on distrust. We
have lied to one another, broken our word
to one another, and constantly denounced
each other: practically all of our diplomatic
relations with the U.S.S.R. have been catas-
trophic.

It is hard to distinguish between "right" and "wrong"
hi the field of international relations, and as a result most
diplomacy is grounded upon expediency. But if, as Hughes
charged, any "moral catastrophe" has occurred, it was in
not acting earlier to avoid the suicide of the United States.

"Remember how we felt six years ago, when the Soviet
tanks rolled into Budapest," Hughes continued, "that is how
the rest of the world would feel if American Marines marched
into Havana." If we entered Cuba our purpose would be to
dismantle the Soviet missies, not to quell a rebellion, as was
the purpose of the Soviet invasion of Hungary. That the
Castro regime might be thrown out of power would be a
possible result of our invasion, not a cause of it.

Mr. Hughes "decried the President's implication that Cuban
based Soviet missies constitute a radical change in the bal-
ance of nuclear force." One wonders that Hughes can so
calmly consider missies which cannot be intercepted before
they reach their destination. It is naive to pretend that
every advance which the Soviets make in the production of
arms or in the ideological race is not a "radical change" and
one which constitutes a potential threat to our very existence.

Hughes further charged that our action has not been
"in the spirit of the UN." When Mr. Hughes can define
this nebulous "spirit" perhaps all nations may follow his
instructions and peaceful coexistence will automatically
follow.

Finally, Hughes charged that the action of last week would
"shatter American prestige around the world." At the date
of printing, the opinion of the free world is overwhelmingly
in favor of our nation's action. More important, the Ameri-
can people have regained a portion of that national pride
which has been disappearing in the face of the United States
blundering and vascillation in the Berlin and Cuban affairs.

The Wall Street Journal has quoted Norman Cousins from
an article in the Saturday Review, and his quotation stands
as an eloquent repudiation of those who, like Stuart Hughes,
oppose the course of our nation with weak, condescending
speeches:

"What does a genuine liberal believe?"

"In the context of today's world, he sees no contradiction
between believing in freedom and believing in peace. For he
believes neither in surrender nor suicide. He believes that
the policies that are committed to the cause of durable and
enforceable peace also best serve the cause of freedom.

"Nuclear war may not destroy all life on earth, but it
will certainly destroy the prime conditions for a meaning-
ful life. Peace without freedom is unthinkable; freedom
without peace is impossible. Hence the genuine liberal
never separates the two. He puts the making of enforce-
able peace at the top of the human agenda for our gen-
eration." C.W.

Bookstore's Future
Spurs Suggestions

By JULIA PRATHER

What is your opinion? On
chances are your opinion on
immediate approval. Nothing
ciated than the new bookstore

My next question is, What's to
become of it? By this I mean is it
to remain a store solely for books
and supplies or, as some have
suggested, might other things be
introduced?

Some students
would like to see
a magazine rack
with copies of
Harpers, McCalls,
Modern Bride,
etc. Also some
would like to
see a small se-
lection of rec-
ords offered, and cigarettes sold
by the carton (from under the
counter of course). Others oppose
this and would like to keep it a
store for only books, school sup-
plies and necessities.

I know for a fact that your sug-
gestions will be well received.
Mrs. Ray, who manages the store,

what?, you may ask. Well
the new bookstore is one of
was more needed or appre-
by faculty and students alike,
is a warm, friendly person and is
really interested in finding out
what we want.

Just this fall she has stocked
stenographer pads, certain kinds
of notebooks and many other
things solely at the requests of
students. If you can't find a par-
ticular book she is glad to order
it, or consider any kind of supply
you might suggest.

The bookstore is ordering novels
and other paperbacks that should
be here soon. Many students have
gone to Emory for things that we
have right on our own campus.
Let's support home industry! We
have a lot of new things and will
have more at your suggestion.

Write a letter to the editor, talk
to Mrs. Ray, or use the suggestion
box that is being put in the book
store. Let's show our appreciation
by letting the bookstore know
what we want.

To Move Forward

A tradition-controlled college. This phrase and many others
similar to it have been used to describe Agnes Scott by many
both on and off the campus, informed as well as uiiinformed

persons,

Yet when one considers the events of the
past few years on campus, one can readily
see that much progress has been made in
many directions, including social and in-
tellectual freedoms which on other small
southern school campuses are virtually non-
existent.

There is not space or really any need to
emphasize specifically the various changes
which have appeared during even the past
four years. More plans including needed changes are al-
ready underway in groups in charge of such details. With
the new buildings proposed for the campus in the next ten
years, many innovations never dreamed of will become re-
alities.

Many complain that any attempt to change anything at the
college is met with red tape and often with sneers from un-
concerned students. Frequently we hear that "it takes for-
ever to get anything done around here." Perhaps so, but
most of the formalities required are actually for the pro-
tection of the majority of students, to allow all concerned
to scrutinize all aspects of the proposed new process or rule
in order that no carelessly forgotten item will mar the plan
once it is effected.

Certainly there are always those who are frustrated in
their attempts only to see a few years later the identical
innovation approved without a murmur of protest. But there
are always those ahead of their times and there will always
be such.

Our problem is to continue this progress forward. We
MUST not slip backwards through our own neglect and
carelessness. Most of our freedom of choice and freedom
of movement is due to the workings of someone or some
group who has worked diligently to make this "a better
place to live." however trite the phrase may be. To retain
these privileges we as mature women must prove that we
are just that. Progression necessitates acceptance of re-
sponsibility. N.B.

Roswell Road.
Ask for skates a
half-size smaller
than your shoe-
size, and get
someone to push
you onto the ice.
That first "glide"
is always the
^ worst you
never know where it will end
or how. Get a group to go. The
more the merrier the tumbles.

Or go bowling! The new centers
around Atlanta are unbelievable.
One machine sets up the pins,
another sends your ball back, and
a third keeps tabs on scores. The
BELMONT, BRIARCLIFF, and
BROADVIEW centers are notable
examples.

Or horseback-riding! Nancy
Crosland suggests the Chatta-
hoochee PLANTATION, a coun-
try club at Sandy Springs, for
a fine afternoon in lots of open
country. (Call before you go so
you won't have to wait for a
mount.) If you prefer Western
horses, visit the LITTLE CREEK
RIDING ACADEMY on the
Lawrenceville Highway. Or if
the mood just strikes you one
afternoon, you're welcome to
join the classes at VOGT'S. A
car goes from Scott Monday
through Thursday at 1:45 p.m.

And then there's dancing! As an
anniversary special, the ARTHUR
MURRAY STUDIOS are offering
a $50 course for $10; Sign up, if
for no other reason than to save
$40! Sure you can Twist, but
what about the Rumba, the Sam-
ba, and the Cha-cha-cha?

All worn out from participating?
Okay! There's something to be
said for the spectator's least tax-
ing sport this week. Movie-watch-
ing, 'tho not at its best, is good
enough. THE WONDERFUL
WORLD OF THE BROTHERS
GRIMM has been getting top rat-
ings from Scotties. At the new
CINERAMA, it's for "children of
all ages."

Sounding a more realistic note
is THE CHAPMAN REPORT play-
ing at Loews. I don't know what
can be said for its subject, but the
cast includes Shelly Winters,
Claire Bloom, Jane Fonda, and
Glynnis Johns.

Biggest news, the ROXY'S latest
spectacular, THE LONGEST DAY,
will premiere here Friday night.
Boasting the longest list of top
stars in motion picture history
(42), it is expected to be a strong
contender for the 1962 "best pic-
ture" award. The story? It's a
three-hour epic the longest
of D-Day.

Around campus this week-end
will be many proud parents of
many proud seniors, and they'd
appreciate your spending a few
minutes talking with them. Espe-
cially the Daddys get very lost on
these occasions they're not
exactly in their element!

Great participating, isn't it?
Beats spectating any time! See you

Columnist Urges
More Exchanges

By FRANCES ANDERSON

While in Europe this summer, I met several girls from
Smith College. When they learned that I went to Agnes
Scott 7 they immediately asked about Ina Jones and Eleanor
Lee (two of the Scotties who participated in the Smith-
Scott Exchange)

We talked about our two
schools^ comparing them and eval-
uating them. We realized that this
conversation came as a result of
last year's Smith-
Scott Exchange.
We discussed the
possibility of ex-
changing stu-
i dents for one
quarter as
Smith's first se-
mester is the
same length as
our fall quarter. We parted in ex-
pectation of perhaps seeing each
other on this year's exchange.

Fall quarter is almost half over
now and there has been no men-
tion of an exchange. Having work-
ed on the committee for the
Smith-Scott Exchange last year,
I know the length of work this
committee put in and the prob-
lems and obstacles it overcame.
I know that the committee de-
cided to start in the fall to raise
money and to iron out problems
that might come up, so that the
next exchange would go much
more smoothly.

Why then has there been no
apparent action toward plan-
ning another exchange? Certain-

ly it could not be because last
year's exchange was a failure.
No one can doubt the value and
success of our Smith-Scott ex-
change last year.
Upon her return, Ina Jones
summed it up in this way: "After
being up there (Smith) I can
honestly say that I will never
feel that I have to apologize for
Scott. And I did feel this way be-
fore I went." The exchange made
us here and those who went up
to Smith realize what a good
thing we have here at our school.

The exchange idea has proven
itself at Scott. Yet it appears
that the word, "exchange" has
now been dropped from our vo-
cabulary. Are we in such haste to
forget a good thing? I certainly
hope not.

Perhaps not only more ex-
changes with Smith but ex-
changes with other southern
women's colleges are in order.
With each passing day, our
chances of an exchange grow
slimmer. I suggest or rather
urge Student Government to
form a Committee on Exchanges
or take some other definite
action toward this year's ex-
change.

Cuban Publication Presents

Editor's note: The following article is composed of excerpts from
THE CUBAN REPORT, a form letter received bi-weekly at our
office. The group which publishes these letters is the Cuban Student
Directorate, and they receive their information from the Red press
and radio as well as underground channels. The letters are not docu-
mented and cannot be taken as literal fact. But it is our feeling
that those things which they misrepresent or exaggerate through
misinformation or patriotism are more than compensated for by state-
ments which have proved accurate and by the love of Cuba which
the letters exemplify.

Cuba's controlled radio announced this morning that chil-

"honored" with the task of watching over the anti-aircraft
guns that protect the school.

now on, each person will receive

on the first week of the month

six ounces of first class meat, 4
ounces of second class meat, and 4
ounces of gristle. On the remain-
ing weeks of the month they will
continue to receive 7 ounces of
first class meat and five ounces
of second class ... In his speech,
President Dorticos referred to the
women who protest on the streets
for the lack of food for their chil-
dren as dope addicts.

After the optimistic statements
that some Communist leaders had
made concerning the increase in
the production, the Prime Minister
said: "Shoes and clothing will be
rationed the same as food is. Do
not think you can obtain abun-

without having to work very hard.
Only those who work will have
priority in the purchasing of
goods. We are Marxist-Leninists
as millions and millions of work-

Moscow: "The Soviet Union will
provide Cuba with arms deliveries

addressed the Soviet government
with the requst for help by de-
livering armaments and sending

these conferences, the headlines of
the Havana government-controlled

The Minister of Education,
Armando Hart, recently issued a
dispatch ordering all the students
from the secondary school "Simon

Cuba in less than a month due to
an intestinal disease epidemic. A
Cuban physician stated that the
Castro government is placing
labels belonging to North Ameri-
can Companies on medicines that
they receive from Russia and
Czechoslovakia. Much of this medi-
cine is not good and causes the
patient to die.

Cuba, Now and Before

Before Fidel Castro rose into
power, Cuba was the second
country in meat consumption per
capita in America. Cuba's meat
production was sufficient for its
internal demands and was begin-
ning to export high quality meat.
Now, under Fidel Castro's Com-
munist regime, Cuba does not ex-
port meat nor provide for itself.
Meat is rationed at % pound per
person a week when there is
some. . .

Before Fidel Castro rose into
power the Cuban sugar cane crop
of 1952 produced more than 7
Spanish tons of sugar. . . Now,
under Castro, the crop has pro-
duced only a little more than 4
tons of sugar. . .

Before Fidel Castro took over in
Cuba, during the democratic sys-
tem of free exchange, the Cuban
peso was always quotable at the
same level with the dollar. Now,
under Castro and the system of
controlled exchange, the value of
the Cuban peso is 14 cents on a
dollar.

nor to submit to the designs of
Moscow. We Cubans do not fear
the sacrifice and support this af-

Laughter, Crises Mark
Staff Members Work

By LIL HARRIS

A glance at the administration and staff focuses on four illustrious members whose
occupations are indispensable to Scotties.

As Secretary to the President,
Bertie Bond appears to be "jack-
of-all-trades" in handling numer-
ous odd jobs which, according to
Bertie, can't be classified. Many
questions, from delivery men, the
plumber or from campus solicitors,
are directed to Bertie, who in the
midst of this activity organizes
Dr. Alston's appointments, en-
gagements, and correspondence.

Besides serving as the college's
chief receptionist, which sounds
like a twenty-four hour job, Bertie
is the one who maintains the
official bulletin boards, compiles
the weekly calendar, and prepares
the announcements for convoca-
tion. In addition, she makes
arrangements for guests who stay
any length of time on campus,
and on many occasions she is even
"confessor" for chapel absences!

When asked about her job in
general, Bertie commented that
she is often entertained by colorful
characters, such as movie scouts
and unusual solicitors, who would
like to include Agnes Scott in
their projects. A most vivid ex-
perience she recalls from last year
when a lady who is an honorary
Indian princess donated to the
school a young sequoia tree. In
this episode Bertie was seen toting
a tree plant around the campus
for half the weekend!

Also, on the first floor of But-
trick, Mrs. Smalley, secretary to
the treasurer, Mr. Bahr, may be
spotted in action behind the
counter in the treasurer's office.
She declares that most of her
work involves extensive typing and
bookkeeping. Not only does she
take dictation and handle corre-
spondence, but also she handles
the payroll and assembles de-
tailed financial reports.

Mrs. Smalley mentioned that
this year her work has been par-
ticularly busy because of the
change in the school's financial
system. The most amusing aspect
of her occupation, however, hap-
pens to be managing the student
bank. Inevitably, there is always
a good laugh from some of the
notes written on checks, such as
the latest one that said "Happy
Birthday plus tax."

Across the hall from the treas-
urer, Louise Hull, Assistant Regis-
trar and Assistant Director of Ad-
missions, has various and sundry
tasks. Now that Annette Teague
is also Assistant Registrar, Louise's
work is mainly concentrated in

the registrar's office.

While in the past she inter-
viewed more prospective students
and travelled more to various high
schools and conventions, Louise
now handles "in the home office"
the permanent academic records
and the course cards of each stu-
dent. Also, as secretary of the
scholarship committee, she com-
piles all the necessary informa-
tion for the prospective scholar-
ship students.

Though she does mainly paper
work, Louise still represents Ag-
nes Scott by traveling to different
places, and she admits that this
aspect of her work has supplied
many a chuckle. Louise says she
will never forget that trip from
the Regional College Board Meet-
ing in New Orleans when she
offered a ride from the airport by
the Associate Director of Ad-
missions at Emory, the Head-
master of an Atlanta private
school, and a member of the
Board of Education. They gave out
of gas at 12:00 a.m. on the Atlan-
ta expressway! But, as a dignified
representative of Agnes Scott,

Louise managed to get the car
pushed to a service station!

Another member of the staff,
who works in the mailroom, is
Mrs. Lewis. She supervises the
distribution of registered letters,
packages, and special delivery
letters. Meal tickets for the facul-
ty, day students, and guests may
also be purchased from Mrs.
Lewis. Besides that, she sees that
gem clips, stamps, paper, string,
and postcards are available.

Mrs. Lewis says that she enjoys
her work in the mailroom because
it enables her to maintain asso-
ciations with young people, and
she is always entertained by the
crises that seemingly arise when
a student's mailbox is empty.
Often she hears abundant com-
plaints about the miserable corre-
spondence of males associated
with this student body.

Mrs. Lewis believes that the
girls must expect a letter from
a particular boy "five times a
day," and if either writes or reads
letters that often, she cannot un-
derstand how they manage to find
time for studying!

Frosh, Sophs Cop Hockey Lead;
Spectator Attendance Declines

By MARILYN LITTLE

There is an old French proverb that says in effect, "The
ones who are absent are always wrong." In applying this to
the turnout, spectator-wise, at last Friday's hockey games,
it seems necessary to amend the wording to "The ones who
are absent are always absent; and there are entirely too
many of them."

The Freshmen attendance in
particular was amazingly poor at
the beginning of
the game, but it
did increase to-
ward the end. At
any rate, their
team played a
beautiful game in
defeating the
Seniors, 2-0. It is
established tradi-
tion at Scott that Freshmen are
the most sophisticated class, but
surely they're not too old to cheer
for their classmates, and against
the other classes. Incidentally, a
keener rivalry often develops
among the spectators as to which
class has the best spirit, i.e., the

voice, and who spurred the

latter, playing without benefit
of either substitutes or many

And the Seniors, with most of

Blackfriars To Present
lonesco, Brecht Plays

A new experience in theatre is in store for the Atlanta
area. On Thursday and Friday, November 16 and 17, "Ex-
Communion" will be presented by the Agnes Scott College
Blackfriars dramatic group and the Druid Actors Lab in
Gaines Auditorium at 8 p.m.

Under the direction of Miss
Roberta Winter of Agnes Scott
and Mrs. Kay Hocking of the Druid
Actors Lab, the production con-
sists of two plays from the western
and eastern zones of contemporary
Europe, The Bald Soprano by
lonesco and Brecht's The Measures
Taken.

TJte Bald Soprano is a farcical
comedy concerned with the futile
attempts of two grotesque English
couples to maintain communica-
tion. This play has been called one
of the funniest plays of the con-
temporary theatre.

lonesco deals in a comic manner
with the problem which Brecht
treats with tragic seriousness in
The Measures Taken. The Brecht
play presents the story of three
young members of the Communist
party who have been forced to kill
the fourth member of their group

because his humanitarian impulses
have endangered the work of the
party.

The guilt felt for having denied a
part of man's humanity and the
conflict of subordinating human
feeling to an ideal which demands
its sacrifice, Brecht insists, must
be experienced by each of the four
actors . . . and each member of
the audience.

Juxtaposing these plays in the
production "Ex-Communion" is an
attempt to show, in two opposite
and highly individual treatments,
the common plight of modern man
his isolation from his fellow-
man, from his roots, and ultimate-
ly from himself.

Both these plays present a world
in which there is some kind of
communication but a world devoid
of communion.

Bach Musician
Lectures Today

Dr. Harriet Cohen, visiting music
lecturer to the ASC campus to-
day and Thursday, is one of the
few artists of her generation to
concentrate on Johann Sebastian
Bach.

A distinguished person in Eng-
lish music since the 1920's, she
was also one of the first pianists
to center her interest on eight-
eenth and twentieth century com-
posers.

When she was a young per-
former, several English composers
thought so highly of her work with
Bach, that they each made a dif-
ferent arrangement of Bach for
her which they published in A
BACH BOOK FOR HARRIET
COHEN.

She won renown as a concert
pianist in the thirties. Wounded
during World War II, Dr. Cohen
was decorated by the British
government for distinguished serv-
ice while performing in England
and on the battle front.

The University Center of Visit-
ing Scholars has brought Dr.
Cohen to us on one of her rare
visits to the United States. She
will speak at eight o'clock tonight
in Maclean on "A CAREER IN
MUSIC," basing her lecture on her
own career as a concert pianist.

On Thursday, at twelve o'clock
in Maclean, her talk will be
"TONE AND TECHNIQUE IN
INTERPRETATION." This lecture
will be directed toward aspirant
musicians, but the whole campus
is invited.

Sharp Soph Scholars Show
Scotties Superior Sagacity

By LAURA HA WES

Scotties, lift up your heads! According to a survey of gen-
eral very general knowledge recently devised, conduct-
ed, and compiled by Tech's Rambler staff, the scholars of
A.S.C. compare favorably with both Tech men and Emory-ites.

The quiz, which was given to

lows at Emory and Scott were 7,
while Tech's average suffered from
several lower scores, ranging down
to a 3.

Some of the questions on cur-
rent events were real Waterloos.
Though most of the subjects cor-

Court, a few befuddled souls man-

A Pioneer

Perhaps, now that she is dead, people will stop des-
pising Eleanor Roosevelt for her failures and begin to ad-
mire her for her accomplishments.

Eleanor Roosevelt was born in an era when a woman's
only virtue was that of social agility. She was raised by her
grandmother, a staunch believer in the idea
of a woman as a beautiful ornament to
society. It is amazing that from such a back-
ground Mrs. Roosevelt could live a life quite
the opposite of that which her grandmother
prescribed.

Franklin Roosevelt's political career be-
gan shortly after their marriage. Mrs. Roose-
velt entered into this aspect of his life with
| an enthusiasm that was to characterize her
as long as she lived. The first opposition to her was raised in
these days when it was quite unusual for a woman to be
seen actively engaging in politics.

Mrs. Roosevelt did not concern herself with the under-
current of censure that met her, however, and entered upon
a whirlwind life that took her to every country in the
world, and made her a spokesman upon almost every facet
of modern life.

Beyond her political and philanthropical accomplish-
ments, Mrs. Roosevelt came to be known for her personal
spontaneity. When 'asked why she worked so hard she replied:
"What else would I do?", and indeed, her drive and energy
have been a source of amazement to everyone who has known
her. In a statement which seems to characterize her whole
manner of living, Mrs. Roosevelt said: "One must have duty
and responsibility, and an irresponsible joy in being alive."
We who have grown accustomed to the prominence of
such women as Mrs. Kennedy, Madame Pandit, Claire
Booth Luce and Pauline Frederick too often forget that Mrs.
Roosevelt was one of the first of modern women to demand
and strive for individuality as a public figure. In a sense
Mrs. Roosevelt was a pioneer to whom we are indebted,
for we are today enjoying freedoms for women for which
Mrs. Roosevelt is partially responsible. C.W.

Southern Silence
Belies Education

By FRANCES ANDERSON

Last week Madamoiselle Magazine sent a representative
to our campus to stimulate interest in that magazine's cur-
rent fiction and art contest for college students. In recent
years there has been little response from the south to this
contest, and as a result, the southern college student has not
been as well represented in this magazine as it should be.

After dinner, Miss Fergison, who
had never visited the South, posed
I some questions
about the South
which I and the
other students
tried to answer.

The first ques-
tion she raised
concerned the
accuracy, or lack
of it. in northern
newspaper and magazine coverage
of southern issues. This is an age-
old question which has been batted
around for some time.

In answering it, another very
thought provoking question was
raised. Why is it that all we hear
from the South are incidents like
Little Rock and University of
Mississippi. Surely this cannot be
the only thing happening in the
South.

Surely the South stands for
other important issues. It does,
but who hears about them? For
instance, who hears about
southern education and southern
intellectuals? Some people do
not realize that this intellectual-
ism exists in the South. The few

people outside the South that
recognize a southern intelli-
gentsia usually put this group a
notch below its northern coun-
terpart.

We all sat pondering this ques-
tion searching for a solution. We
could only half solve it. Many
southerners who are "eggheads"
will not recognize this fact nor be
proud of it. This fact is especially
true for the southern women.
I certainly was not satisfied
with this answer nor were the
other students present. My
mind went back to that old say-
ing about education and respon-
sibility going hand in hand
that with education comes a
terrific responsibility of making
my ideas and knowledge heard.
Why in the South has this re-
sponsibility been neglected and
how can it be remedied?
It is time for me to stop writ ins:
and for you to stop reading, and
for both of us to start thinking!
There are answers to the questions
I have raised complete answers,
nnd I expect with your help to see
them printed in this newspaper.

To the Editor:

This is to express sincere ap-
preciation to the Class of 1963 for
their observance of Senior Day.

The thoughtfulness and dignity
with which the Seniors approached
Investiture was a credit to their
maturity.

Mary L. Boney

Tlie Senior Class unshes to
Ouxnk our faculty for their splendid
cooperation with us on Senior Day.

To The Editor:

All this talking and planning
about making the Prayer Room a
real place to pray is all well and
good but it seems to me it is all a
waste of students' time, talents,
and money. What this campus
needs is a chapel not a renovated
date parlor.

The Prayer Room is even too
small to be used for the Episco-
palian Communion Services. Why
not devote our time, energies and
funds to a greater purpose a
functional student chapel?

No, I realize that any such a
chapel could not materialize to-
morrow or next quarter but what
about next year?

I honestly feel that some more
thought should be put into this pro-
ject.

A Concerned Senior
To the Editor:

I was appalled after reading the
editorial in the last issue of the
News. Does the editor or anyone
else really feel that we would
be proud of the United States if
our troops were to invade Cuba?

What would there be to be proud
of: open aggression in the name
of "liberation"? Are we so arrogant
to believe that we have been en-
trusted with the duty of making
sure that other nations are "free"?

But suppose we did invade Cuba
to dismantle the missiles. We would
then undoubtedly end in setting
up a new government, one that
would "insure the Cubans' free-
dom." Even if this did not bring
on a nuclear war, we could be
branded as aggressors. We have,
thus, lowered ourselves to the
Communists' level.

We would also be hypocrites be-
cause we have done the very thing
for which we have so often con-
demned and criticized the Com-
munist world.

And where is the line going to be
drawn? Why our next move could
be to take over all of Berlin, as
the Right- Wing has been urging,
or some of the Middle East coun-
tries, or Africa, or just any old
nation that makes us angry and
insecure.

Yes, we could invade Cuba be-
cause it is the easy way out. If,
however, the position that we strive
for in the eyes of the world is to
mean anything, we must, out of
plain old-fashioned respect for law
and order, if for no other reason,
direct the force of our hostilities
through construct ive channels.

Finally, the editor has said that
there would be a difference be-
tween a Cuban invasion and that
of Hungary. She has said that, al-
though the means might be the
same, the purposes would be dif-
ferent and that is what really
counts. It seems to me, though, that
it would be a sad day indeed for
the United States, when we had
to explain our actions in terms of
the result; and all this time I had
thought it was only the Commu-
nists who believed that "the end
justifies the means"!

Hub-bub

Chapels Committee
Urges Suggestions

By JULIA PRATHER

"And the little old wheel went around and around, and
the little old wheel went around." Sounds like a vicious
circle, doesn't it? Well, it is!

The chapel committee can not
provide excellent programs when
there is no assurance of a good
audience. How-
ever, they can
not be assured of
a good audience
unless there is a
good program.
Attende nee
has gotten a
lot better this
year and the
majority of the programs have
been excellent. But, there it still
great room for improvement
and Representative Council has
appointed a committee to con-
sider concrete suggestions,
which they hope will strengthen
the program.

A recent "crisis'* should have
taught a lesson. A great deal of
student disapproval has been di-
rected against the new sweatshirt
policy. We have learned that it is
a lot harder to get things to our
liking after a policy has been pass-
ed, than before.

This is why it is so important to
get student's opinions about the
chapel problem BEFORE the new
policy is formed.

Some suggestions seem to be
valid. It might be that classes

will start earlier in order to pro-
vide a free time during the
morning. This way students
could still go to the Hub or
room as well as chapel.
Also, the programs might be con-
solidated, leaving some days when
there might not be a chapel.

These are ONLY SUGGES-
TIONS, but they are being con-
sidered. Don't wait until the
changes have been made and
then gripe, about having to go
to class 10 min. earlier, or some-
thing else.

Many students feel that so much
of the committee work here is in
secret. They know nothing about
possible changes in policy until they
are sprung on them.

In this case this is not true. It
is up to you to realize that some-
thing IS going to be done, and that
it might involve changes that will
effect everyone.

Don't wait until the policy has
been changed and then be un-
happy about it and try to get it
changed. If you have an opinion-
and you surely must let your
idea influence the MAKING of the
new policy, not the CHANGING of
it.

Speak now! or forever hold

peace.

Epitome Of Eliot?

The education we are hopefully attempting to receive
may seem at times to be "streets that wind like a tedious argu-
ment of insidious intent to lead you to .an overwhelming ques-
tion. . . ." The learning process is, no doubt, occasionally
tedious, often argumentative; and in the
mind of a student, the "insidious intent"
may become personified. But the "over-
whelming question" what will it be?

As I see it, the question should be one
concerning the final point to which the
winding streets of this hard-earned higher
education are leading.
A concentrated period of study in diverse
fields often has the effect of instilling in the
mind ot the student the idea that all the necessary in-
formation has been absorbed. Knowledge is complete; edu-
cation is over; and now one may sit back and reap the bene-
fits of the tortuous period of knowledge collecting, tempering
it with some long awaited "experience in life."

Graduation should be a beginning of education. There is
no denial that experience plus formal education are a for-
midable twosome, or that some experiences are an education
in themselves. But the formal education should be a time
of opening the shutters of the mind, exposure to new ideas
and ideals, the study of which will be continued and com-
pleted.

Only through this process can experience gain meaning.
Termination of formal education should be a realization
of the overwhelming amount of knowledge yet to be

gained.

Some people will never be faced with an "overwhelming
question" of any sort because it often proves more convenient
to set up a barracade against new ideas with bridge clubs
and garden clubs.

I have nothing against bridge and garden clubs; but all
things have their place. I do object to the trend of letting
these things, in conjunction with the essentials of life
sleep, food, etc. . . ., make a complete routine.

True, no questions arise to unpleasantly overwhelm.
This way no questions come up at all. They are forced to
the bottom of the stagnate pool of the well concealed mind.
You may never dare to "disturb the universe" with indus-
trious post-graduate endeavor not all have the capacity.
Nor is it necessary to become an "angry young idiot," crusad-
ing for awareness. At least one may dare to exist as a think-
ing individual, realing that there is always more to learn.

There is an alternative. One may always become one of the
women that "come and go talking of Michaelangelo." C.F.

Atlanta Offers Glimpses
Of Continental Elegance

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

The season is sparkling, Atlanta is alive, and the doings
are delightful!

Out to dinner? Dining is an ad-
venture at the Golden Palm restau-
rant in the new Americana Motel.

| All done in gold,
with crystals
dropping from
golden palm
trees, the dining
room is so dim
you'll need a
candle to read
the menu and
^ } it's provided with

pleasure.

Boasting a chef for every spe-
cialty some are French it's
no wonder that the food rivals that
of Atlanta's best restaurants.
Shiskabobs are swished in on
flaming swords, a pineapple-
chicken dish is served up in a
chicken made of pineapple, and
French pastries of a hundred
varieties deck the dessert cart.

You may even be offered cham-
pagne on the house! (after-gradu-
ation idea!)

In the same motel you'll find
the Red Velvet Lounge a little
bit of Europe in the heart of At-
lanta. The Marie Conte Trio en-
tertains, the room glows red, and
you'll glow rosy! Stop in after a
movie.

On the concert schedule for No-
vember 20 is Leonie Rysanek, dra-
matic soprano of the Metropoli-
tan Opera. She thrilled Atlanta
audiences in NABUCCO last spring.

Conducting the Atlanta Sym-
phony will be Edwin Mc Arthur,
guest conductor of the Metropoli-
tan Opera, the New York Philhar-
monic, and the Philadelphia Or-
chestra.

most majestic . . ." by the N. Y.

C.A. To Redecorate
Scott Prayer Room

As one of their major projects
for the year, Christian Association
had accepted the challenge to re-
novate the Prayer Room. The
committee in charge, consisting of
Frances Anderson, Geneva Ritchie,
and Cappy Page, has taken steps
to include the suggestions of both
the student body and the faculty
in their plans.

Among the suggestions brought
for are plans for: 1) the addition
of stained glass windows, 2) adding
an altar rail, 3) including an altar,
players were designed by the and 4) changing the color scheme

author after the early mosaics of
Byzantine churches. If you're stay-
ing over for the holidays this ar-
tistic production will enrich your
weekend.

Another unmissable! The paint-
ings of Poucette primitive and
stylized, yet dream-like and ro-
mantic will be on view through
December 1 at the Art Association.

Who's Poucette? She's a 4 ft. 11
in. French doll from Paris' left
bank. Watch for her on campus
this week. She may be sporting
cowboy boots, hip-huggers, and a
checked shirt her favorite outfit.
And she's definitely delightful!

There'll be big doings at Tech
this weekend. Ray Charles will be
featured at the I.F.C. concert Fri-
day night. Saturday's game be-
tween Tech and Alabama promises
to be a close, exciting one, and the
weather promises to be cold
enough for your best winter out-
fit.

Something to look forward to
is the magical musical, Carnival.
The Music Club brings this tender
story of a shy young girl and an
embittered puppeteer to Atlanta

To The Editor:

A ZEN LEGEND FOR OUR
TIME:

Once, in China, there was a man,
whose horse, his only horse, ran
away. On hearing of his incident
the man's friends all came to him,
saying: "What a calamity, we are
so sorry." But the man merely
shrugged and said, "Maybe so".
The next day his horse returned,
bringing with it a wild mare, and
all his friends said to him "What
good fortune" and he said again
"Maybe so". It so happened that
the very next day his son was try-
ing to tame the mare and fell off
and broke his leg; whereupon the
man's friends came and commiser-
ated, saying "Truly, this is bad
news". But again the man smiled
and gave the same reply: "Maybe
so". Then, as fate would have it,
the next day, the conscription of-
ficers came to the village and
gathered all the eligible young men.
But the man's son they left behind
because his leg was broken. At this
all the man's friends came to him
and said: "Surely now you can-
not deny this to be your good for-
tune." The man shook his head
and said "Maybe so."

and relating it to the color of the
stained glass windows.

At present, the Prayer Room re-
sembles "a date parlor with a cross
over the mantle" according to a
number of students and as such
could never be used to carry on
liturgical services. It has been sug-
gested that the Episcopalian Com-
munion Services be held there
which, however, is not possible pri-
marily because of the size.

The Christian Association is pro-
viding all the finances for the re-
modeling which they hope to have
finished by Religious Emphasis
Week the 11th through the 15th
of February.

The committee is in need of sug-
gestions for designs and sketches
for the stained glass windows as
well as any other opinions from in-
terested students and faculty.
These ideas should be given to any
one of the three students working
on the committee.

U. N. Delegations Choose
Mock Assembly Leaders

By LIL HARRIS

Toward the end of last week the U. N. project for the year
bounced into action with a meeting of the Security Council.
Now each delegation is in the midst of electing a head dele-
gate to serve as spokesman for the group.

This is the member who will
answer roll call, announce her
delegation's decisions, and above
all she will handle any debates
that might seem expedient to her
group.

Dance Group To Give
Christmas Programs

Dancing, dancing and more danc-
ing is in store for the Agnes
Scott dance group for the coming
months.

First of the series of activities
is the annual Christmas program
which will be presented to the
student body Friday, December 7
during chapel time.

The Druid Hills Art Association
has requested that the group, com-
posed of 13 members and instruc-
tor Miss Kay Osborne, perform for
their Christmas festivities, Decem-
ber 6, 7 and 8.

These programs will be the first
time that the group has presented
the story of Christmas in dance
augmented by Bible readings. In-
cluded will be modern and classic
music. Dances will be a proces-
sional, four numbers and the finale.

Other activities in which the
dancers will be participating dur-
ing the year are programs for
church and various civic organiza-
tions. Recent performances include
a program presented to the youth
of the Decatur Presbyterian
Church last Sunday.

After the Christmas program, the
group will begin work on the
spring program. The theme of this
program has not been definitely
decided.

Members of the group include
Sophomores, Linda McElfresh,
Paula Savage, Amall Broach and
Julie Wells; Juniors Diane David,
Caryl Pearson and Andy Pfaf f, Sue
Epps and Katie Shearer. Seniors
include Jane Fincher, Nancy Duvall
and Anneke Schepman.

Katie Shearer is president of the
group and Andy Pfaff serves as
secretary-treasurer.

During the winter quarter the
group will be open to freshmen.
All students of the college are in-
vited to participate in the try-
outs required for membership.

Of course, every member has the
opportunity of compiling necessary
information and data in order to
become familiar with the views
maintained by her particular
country. The group together will
organize this information for
presentation by the spokesman. It
is the head delegate who will be
the articulator of the opinions ex-
pressed by her delegation.

In addition, a head delegate is
being appointed to coordinate her
group's frantic search for infor-
mation, which will hopefully ma-
terialize before April. To each
member she will assign various
letters to write and a particular
field to explore. She herself will
contact the foreign students from
her country who are located in the
Atlanta area.

While all this information is
being tracked down, and while
thoughts are being collected, there
will no doubt be a need for some
meetings before the big assembly
in April. The head delegate is re-
sponsible for calling them; she is
even granted the privilege of hold-
ing joint meetings with other
delegations (whether or not their
interests are similar).

By Sunday the following head
delegates had been elected, and
the other names will soon be sub-
mitted: Afghanistan, Betsy West-
fall; Argentina, Jinna Clark; Aus-
tralia, Bonnie Hatfield; Belgium,
Lyn Lindskog; Bolivia, Jean Jar-
rett; Brazil, Patti Williams; Chile,
Karen Lee; Nationalist China, Bet-
ty Alvis; Colombia, Mary Ann
Gregory; Costa Rica, Gay Hunter;
Cyprus, Judy Bousman; Denmark,
Beth Fortson; Dominican Repub-
lic, Debbie Potts; and France, Vir-
ginia Allen.

Other head delegates are: Guate-

Somalia, Ann Williams; Sweden,
Peggy Bell; U. S. S. R., Marilyn

Seniors Win Hockey Match, 1-0
For First Victory in Four Years

By MARILYN LITTLE

Before I get into the exciting details of recent sports activi-
ties, I would like to make a sincere apology to our freshmen.
In the past, cutting remarks about freshmen attendance at
various events have filled my articles.

Two weeks ago, however, Made-

line forever removed my doubts
about the school spirit of the class
i of '66 (at least
I until the next
| game) . In a hard-
fought and thril-
ling game, which
marked the high
I point of the sea-
* son thus far, the
j Sophomores and
| the Freshmen
battled to a 2-2 tie.

The supporters of both teams
turned out in force and in voice,
making every aspect of the game
satisfactory to all. The Frosh were
in top shape, so the tying Sopho-
more goal in the last few seconds
really "saved" Dennis's reputation.

On the other hand, the Junior-
Senior game was a reputation
"maker." In a close 1-0 score, the
Seniors won their first hockey
game in four years. Nothing against
the fine effort on Harvey's part,
but the Seniors' long- deserved vic-
tory was wonderful! It climaxed a
perfect Senior Day.

The Swimming Meet, October
30, was also an excitement-filled
event. All classes were enthusi-
astically supported, with the Fresh-
men and the Sophomores in the
majority (of course). Fate was
again on the side of the Sopho-
mores, as they barely, but suc-
cessfully, preserved their unde-
feated record.

The determined Frosh tied them,
with their manager, Susie Geb-
hardt, breaking a long-established
record. The Seniors came next in
score, and the Juniors brought up
the reai-. It was a thrilling meet,
and those who did not go really
missed some good old high school-
type spirit.

Last week's Hockey Games were
cancelled due to a rain problem,
but Hockey nevertheless claimed
the spotlight with the visit of
Miss Primrose Upton, British
hockey coach. Brought here under
the auspices of our ever-active
A. A., she gave two days of valuable
and enjoyable instruction to play-
ers of all classes and of all de-
grees of skill.

It was particularly unfortunate,
therefore, that Friday's games
were not held, as her many point-
ers would have no doubt signifi-

cantly improved the quality of
play.

But perhaps Miss Upton's tips
will not have worn off by this Fri-
day, so that these upcoming games
will also be better. They should
be thrilling, in any case, since the

?niors are determined to maintain
their winning streak, and the
Juniors are determined to main-
tain their self-respect.

The Freshmen and the Sopho-
mores are simply determined, as
usual. Be sure to come ... it is the
end of the season for the "hard-
working" teams. Show your inner
support of them in a new way
Come to the games!

German Student Describes
Refugee Neighbor in Berlin

By DIETER TRABE

Editor's note: Dieter Trabe is a West Berlin student whom Finances
Anderson met during her summer tour of Europe. In a recent letter
to her, he writes from personal experience.

As I was asked to write you something about my city,
where political differences come into personal life, I shall
try to do so.

I am a student of the Free Uni-
versity in West Berlin and live in
one of our student villages, where
all nationalities people from East
and West are to be found. We all
love freedom more than anything
else and would dare everything to
keep it. I shall not tell you about
details, which I am sure you have
read in the papers, but better tell
you about those people, who really
suffer from our situation.

One of my neighbors is Torn,
who is 18 years old. When Ber-
lin was still one city in the last
year, he lived in the Russian
sector and attended the School
of Arts in the West. You could
tell that he came from the
East, because he always looked
as if he feared something, as if
he was longing for something,
which he did not know what it
was.

Sometimes I would see him
standing before a shop window
and looking at pineapples or ba-
nanas. He could not afford to buy
anything, as he had only Eastern
money, which is worth very little

here. He told me that his sisters
had never tasted a pineapple.

One morning he could not go to
school, because a wall and soldiers
with machine guns did not let
anybody pass. So he stayed at
home and the party forced him to
work in a factory. After a month
he got a message from his class-
mates in the West telling that
they still cared for him and that
they would try to bring him to
W r est Berlin. Well, they at last
succeeded.

It was never known if he
came through a tunnel, which
his friends had built, or if he
passed the border using a false
passport.

He had left everything and every-
one, whom he loved, behind. He
has nobody here who cares for
him, except his friends. Tom
knows that he will never see his
family again. At Christmas he
cried, when he read his mother's
letter, who lives only a few streets
away, but it is further than Aus-
tralia for him.

Some weeks ago his sister tried

Spring seems not to be the only
season when a 4 'young man's fan-

Nancy Rose is engaged to Semi-
nary graduate John Ellington, but

Ann Debele also has a precious
"rock" from Dave Herbertson, a

an August wedding. Judy Little
joins the ranks of the newly-en-
gaged with her ring from Tom
Johnson, who is program manager
of WSAF in Sarasota, Fla. They
also plan a summer wedding.

Senior Julianne Williams has the
TKE pin of Don Bodnar, a senior
at Tech, while two Beta fraternity-
brothers, Bill Hargit and Andy
Allen, have pinned junior cottage-

Stewart.

Kathy McCauley has the Lamb-

General Assembly Elects
Hodges, Yontz To Preside

By DOTTIE STRUMPF

Sarah Hodges, candidate from Ceylon, and Nancy Yontz, from the United Arab Repub-
lic, were elected to the offices of Secretary-General and President of the mock U. N. Gen-
eral Assembly.

The first official meeting of the
Agnes Scott General Assembly
turned out to be a tremendous
success with only two of the
seventy-seven delegations absent.
The main business before the As-
sembly on November 15 was the
election of a president and chair-
man. The chairman of each in-
dividual delegation announced the
vote of the country represented.

The new officers, along with the
other candidates, adopted neutral
nations for the purpose of avoiding
blocs. Sarah, who had originally
chosen to represent the United
States, adopted Ceylon for the elec-
tion. Since she was elected, she
will remain a member of the
Ceylonese delegation. Nancy, repre-
sentative of the United Arab Re-
public will remain a member of
that delegation.

Spirited Election

However, the spirit of the assem-
bly was not all serious. In fact,
the delegation from the U.S.S.R.
was requested to restrain from its
boisterous activities. The delega-
tions all had signs of their nations
and a general air of ex-
citement was prevalent. Campaign-
ing was in process to the extent
that two of the delegations, includ-
ing the United Kingdom, came
dressed in costumes. Becky Bruce
could be seen bearing a sign saying
"Texas".

Other U. N. Meetings

Other joint meetings planned for
this quarter include a chapel pro-
gram with an international Christ-
mas as its theme on December 4th
and an informal discussion in the
Hub on December 5th.

Concerning the election Sarah
says: "It is indeed a position of
honor and respect for both Nancy
and myself. We consider this an
intellectual experience from which
we can benefit as future citizens
of the world as well as citizens
of the United States."

The chairman also requests that
work on the project should be done

New Dorm To Replace
Several Old Cottages

As the new dormitory goes up,
plans are being made for the re-
moval or destruction of several
cottages during the summer.

East Lawn cottage is definitely
slated for demolition, and the Hop-
kins parking lot will be extended
where the cottage now stands. The
two South McDonough houses will
also be removed or destroyed.

Plans concerning Ansley and
Gaines are not definite yet, but
ultimately they will both be
cVstroyed. The other cottages will
be kept for the present, but may
not be used for student housing.
More plans will be made in the
next few months concerning these
buildings.

with sincerity by each delegation
and with an effort to truly repre-

should make a personal attempt to
understand the religion, culture,
interests, and the position of her
country in the world today.
Community Interest
Nancy has brought out the fact
that so many people outside of the

interest in the project as a worth-
while, rewarding experience. It
offers a great opportunity for de-
tailed learning about, other coun-
tries. Nancy also says that foreign-
ers can be invited by the dele-
gations to attend their individual
meetings. A master calendar will

USNSA Urges Interest,
Concern For US

By LIL HARRIS

In the past students have
blatantly or otherwise promoted
social reforms and political move-
ments (take Russia's Bolshevik
Revolution, for example), and
there's no reason, says the United
States National Student Associa-
tion, for American students not
to be equally influential in caus-
ing needed changes in this coun-
try.

This is not to say that USNSA
is trying to mobilize a political up-
heaval, but the organization does
want to provoke greater concern
among American students for the
issues that are presently disturbing
ur domestic tranquility and strain-
ing our foreign relations.

Such a concern, the organiza-
tion feels, can be a result of camp-
us-wide debates on issues whose
solutions seem closed, Hopefully,
these forums will show the in-
terelation of critical issues such as
Cuba, Berlin, military bases, and
disarmament, and encourage fur-
ther discussions among students,
in their living units.

Action beyond the campus is an-
other purpose of USNSA's exist-
ence. One of its most important
projects, student non-violent co-
ordinating committee, deals with
the problem of civil rights, partic-
ularly in the South. Material and
information have been sent to
Agnes Scott in hopes that the stu-

dent body will form a commission
for civil rights. Such a commission
would have two functions: to bring
to the attention of Americans
the fact that many citizens are
being denied the vote and to seek
contributions for the work of
educating the public.

At any rate, the SNCC con-
tinues to be active in the South.
In fact, it has a fulltime staff of
about thirty students who primari-
ly work on voter education in
rural areas. While these students
are trying to alleviate the politi-
cal suppression of the Negro com-
munity, the fact remains that
these students are the only group
which has undertaken an elaborate
program of rural voter registration.

The continuance of student agita-
tion for civil rights in the South
depends on the support that
various college commissions of
USNSA choose to give the SNCC
project.

Due to inactivity week and^
exam week, the Agnes Scott

again until the Winter Quarter.^
Tryouts for reporters will be
held at our first staff meeting,

Thematic Tea Leaves

A certain sign of growing concern for conformity ex-
cuse me, "normalcy" in our time is the increased empha-
sis being placed upon personality and mental health tests
which are given in grammar and high schools.

Each of us has taken these tests, the SRA
Junior Inventory, The Mooney Problem
Check List and many others. And each of
us has spent hours answering such ridicu-
lous questions from these tests as "Do you
ever feel lonely?"

The mere taking of these tests is just a
harmless waste of time. The horrible part
of the testing is the increasing emphasis
being placed upon the results. As Life maga-
September 21, the results of these tests often
become^ part of a student's permanent record, without the
student's knowledge or that of his parents.

It is rather shattering to think that the "Top Secret"
file which contains your I. Q. and confidential statements
made by your high school teachers may also contain the
results of several years of personality testing: "Potential
Manic-Depressive."

Grammar school children who hardly know the meaning
of a family are quizzed upon their relations with their par-
ents and their parents' relations with each other. High school
students in the throes of turbulent adolescense are probed
as to the nature of emotions which, because of their age, they
are experiencing in unnatural degrees. Those impressions
which may have been merely the manifestation of a certain
stage in a child's mental development are neatly filed away
in the principal's office as signs of potential mental illness.

Since when did it become the business of education to
offer mental therapy? Do public high schools not have
enough to do, that they must read tea leaves for clues as
to the nature of their students minds and certainly these
supposedly comprehensive tests could ultimately tell little
more about the workings of a human mind than would
tea leaves.

Life reported that the makers of the College Board En-
trance Examination Tests are considering incorporating a
personality test into their standard testing program. If this
is done, every college and university which now uses College
Board should dispense with it as an entrance requirement.
From now on, if a student feels that "leaf is to tree as man
is to crowd," he will not only be showing his word mastery
and ability to make analogy, but he may also be showing
his neurosis.

The human mind is not an organ to be probed by a three
hour objective test. Until the makers of the personality
tests for our high school and grammar school children
can show a more thorough understanding of the mind than
these tests evidence now, these tests should be done away
with entirely. Psychology is in its infant state; the human
mind is not. C.W.

"Mouths Of Babes"

There once was a ship crossing the ocean. It was coming
to the United States.

One day a little boy was sitting with his father on the deck;

beside them there was a man and his small
daughter. Since he was a polite little boy,
Johnny asked his father if he could play
with the little girl. Father consented and
Johnny went over, introduced himself, and
challenged the girl to a game of hide and
seek. There was no response.

Little Marie, even though she could not
understand the invitation, promptlv
grasped the meaning of such gallantry.
Being a proper lady, she blushed, climbed into her father's
lap, and hid her face in his lapel.
Her father, Monsieur Grandet, explained to Johnny and his
father that Marie spoke only French. He then translated the
request for his daughter.

Still blushing, Marie refused. Since she was French and
a lady, she instinctively knew that a man's interest is
heightened by refusal. Johnny politely retreated to ponder
the situation.

Evidently, he did some deep and prosperous thinking,
because the next morning they appeared together on deck
ready for a day of games. Naturally, the fathers were de-
lighted. Both felt that they had contributed greatly to
international relations.

For the rest of the trip Johnny and Marie played to-
gether. The fathers marvelled that they could have so much
fun without being able to understand each other.

Here ends a tale of modern times. Today we put too
much emphasis on language as the only means of com-
munication. Johnny and Marie are living proof that under-
standing does NOT depend wholly upon words. Adults
can learn so much from children. M.L.L.

To the Editor:

The members of the Christian
Association Cabinet greatly appre-
ciate the interest and concern
shown in the letter to the Editor
which questioned the proposed re-
novation of the Prayer Room.

We, too, think it would be ideal
of there were a Chapel on the
campus and have asked Dr. Alston
about the possibilities. He says
there is no chance of having one
within the next four or five years
since the Board of Trustees has
already committed the College to
other building obligations. Of
course, if the money were made
available through some other
source, there would be no objec-
tion to building the Chapel.

As the decision to have a Chapel
rests in the hands of the Board of
Trustees, the more interest and
need they feel from the student
body, the sooner it will be realized.

Even if we could have a Chapel
right away, the Cabinet feels that
there would still be a need for a
personal and private Prayer Room
and that the one would not dupli-
cate the purpose of the other.
Therefore we feel that the work
we plan to do is justified in the
light of these reasons and that we
will not be wasting the time ,effort
and money of the student body.

We welcome any other com-
ments, questions or suggestions as
we continue with our plans.

Sincerely,

Christian Association
Cabinet.

Internationally Speaking

Secretary-General Hodges
Expresses Hope For Future

By Guest Columnist SARAH HODGES,

Secretary-General of the mock United Nations
General Assembly

When the United Nations was born in 1945 in San Fran-
cisco, it was largely an effort on the part of the major powers
to establish a system of collective security conceived as an
instrument of "unity in spirit and in purpose" with our
allies in World War II.

Since that time its membership
has grown to include most of the

PBj nations of the
H world, and its
1V 'J yield of interest
M has spread to in-
I elude such areas
as world food,
! labor, health,
bedP^W trade, and fi-

It cannot be
denied that the United Nations is
dominated by the great powers.
In the General Assembly there is
nominal equality among the na-
tions, but in the Securuity Council
the veto power is a definite source
of prestige in the control of de-
cision making. In the General
Assembly the growth of the
Afro-Asian bloc has become a po-
tential power blockade against the
individual leading nations not
foreseen in 1945.

The growth and ever changing
role of the United Nations in in-
ternational affairs does constitute
a hope that in the future this or-
ganization will be more than a
bar of balance between Com-
munist and American efforts to
further their own interests. It

should be our major concern as
citizens of the world community
that the operation of the United
Nations can transcend the im-
mediacy of the cold war dilemma
and involve its collective power
in projects of value to humanity.

Is it too idealistic to desire that
the nations of wealth and security
combine their resources in an
effort to raise the social and eco-
nomic welfare of all the peoples
of the world? I think not. Joseph
Mazzini's Italian unification still
holds a ring of truth for our
world situation today: "General
co-operation and the harmony of
work are the way of progress, the
mainspring of the world, and the
only means of regeneration given
to the human family." May the
United Nations be such an instru-
ment of progress for the general
welfare of all mankind.

and why some changes haven't
gone through?"

1 Well, they have a chance
through their elected representa-
tives."

And so the debate goes round
and round but should it? True,
our elected board representatives
do speak for us on the boards and
committees, but shouldn't the stu-
dents know about policy and rule
change before these changes be-
come fact? Shouldn't the students
know about these changes when
they are in the planning stage
and shouldn't they know how
changes come about and why cer-
tain rules or policies have not
been changed?

If the students knew about
changes from the first planning
stages to the moment when the
changes go into effect, a lot of
questions would be answered
about why this change and not
that one even before they
could be asked.

Right now we, the students, are
living in a state of ignorance
and ignorance certainly is not
bliss in this case. With ignorance
comes apathy. If we, the students,
knew what was going on in the
boards and committees while it
was going on, our interest in these
committees and boards would in-
crease tremendously.

We, as students on the outside
looking at the boards and commit-
tees, are only spectators. How can
we be expected to "be aware,"
"to be unapathetic," when we do
not know what is going on or why.

We revert to blind, unfounded
criticism because we are not
allowed to know the facts or his-
tories behind issues.

Whenever a News reporter
tries to get information about a
change in policy or rules or
often just tries to learn what is
going on in this or that board
she hits her head against a stone
wall. Certainly there is no rea-
son to hide behind a veil of
secrecy. We have nothing to
hide here on this campus.

I am not a gambler, but I am
willing to wager just about any-
thing that apathy on this campus
would disappear if the students
were informed at the time of pro-
posed rule or policy change and
were kept informed as to the
progress of these changes. If we
were allowed to "share" we
would certainly "be more aware."

Hub-bub

"Holiday Spirit" Hits
Campus Community

By JULIA PRATHER

You can almost see it on people's faces. If you listen hard
enough you can almost heair it in their voices. And you can
almost feel it in just the very air about you. When the
"Holiday Spirit" comes to Agnes Scott it is every bit as
alive and every bit as real as you or I could ever be.

No one knows exactly when or"
how it comes, but suddenly when
we are leaving
for Thanksgiving
it is here. And
from the minute
we come back
until we leave
for Christmas
the "Holiday
Spirit" reigns
supreme on the
^asmmsmmMmi a.S.C. campus.

The "'Holiday Spirit" has a
rival ifs true, for Exams bring
a terrific amount of work. But,
never doubt for one moment
that each student doesn't save
a few minutes either before
going to sleep, waiting in the
lunch line, or right before a
class either to remember
Thanksgiving or anticipate
Christmas.
In those moments our minds
leave the scientific, philosophical,
and literary realms and think
about a string of Christmas tree
lights, the real meaning of giving,
and "The Night Before Christmas."
Our most pressing practical prob-
lem is how to buy twenty-five
gifts with less than two dollars.
And our most pressing personal
problem is how to keep from ex-
ploding with excitement before it
is finally time to leave for home.

There are tangible signs of the
"Holiday Spirit." The washrooms
are filled with clothes washed for
the first time so they will be clean
to take home. Everywhere is
Metrecal and exercising girls try-
ing to get rid of the Thanksgiving
turkey so to have room for all the
Christmas goodies.

The big Christmas tree is
strung with lights, and there
are Christmas carols and open
fires in the Hub. Students are
seen studying more and more
as they prepare for exams, and
the dorms begin to fill with
wrapping paper and ribbon.
When all this happens the "Holi-
day Spirit" has come. It lasts a
short time the interval between
Thanksigiving and Christmas. But
its impact is remembered and then
anticipated throughout the rest of
the year. Happy Holidays!

Dr. Copple Reveals
Honor Study Finds

Agnes Scott's honor system is
firmly supported and defended by
the vast majority of Scott students
and is regarded with scepticism and
disbelief by many other college
students, especially our neighbors
at Georgia Tech. At least this is
what most Scotties believe about
their own and others' opinion of
Scott's honor system.

But according to Dr. Lee Copple,
this is not necessarily so. To com-
pare the opinion of those who have
lived under an honor system, and
the opinion of students at a com-
parable college with only a gen-
eral knowledge of how an honor
system works, Dr. Copple used a
series of tests in a psychological
scale called semantic differential.
Last year's student body responded
in a compulsory chapel and the in-
coming freshmen took the test on
the first day of orientation this
year. Last spring Dr. Copple also
tested the comparable school with-
out an honor system.

Mr. Copple's interest in this
study was stimulated by two
articles that appeared last spring
recording student attitude toward
the honor system. In one of these,
a magazine article, a student lead-
er called the system "a way of
life" which was said to result in
"an atmosphere of trust and great-
ness".

The other article which appeared
in this newspaper, written by a
Scott senior, said, "call the honor
system a set of very necessary
rules and leave it at that."

Dr. Copple attempted to deter-
mine which of these two extremes
was really the most accurate. His
original hypothesis was that as a
student lived under such a system,
and came to know and understand
it, her opinion would rise. There-
fore a senior would have a better,
more positive attitude toward the
honor system that would a fresh-
man who had not seen it at work.

Agnes Scott students did not sup-
port Dr. Copple's logical hypothesis.
With regard to the system as a
whole, all Agnes Scott students
had a higher opinion of the honor
system than did the students at the
comparative scheool, although the

Soften Fall Quarter Panic

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

Panic! The panic is on for Fall Quarter 1962, and no mat-
ter what anybody says, there'll never be another panic quite
like this one! Who's got time to play? You have, Scottie!
This is the time to do something you've never done before
and will probably never care to do again. Something crazy,
and by all means irrational.

students at the other school had
a strong positive opinion of such a
system.

Dr. Copple also scaled student
opinion toward persons who up-
hold the honor system. Agnes Scott
and the comparative college had
similar levels of comparison be-
tween the individual classes, but as
a whole Scott students responded
more postively. Dr. Copple dis-
covered that students had highest
regard for persons who turned
themselves in for their own
offenses; next was the person who
would speak to another student
about that person's offense; held in
low regard was the person who
spoke to a third student about her
offense; and lowest opinion was
for the person who reported an-
other student.

After further research on this
subject, Dr. Copple has plans to
publish his findings on student
opinion of the honor system some-
time next spring.

"The truth
between."

To borrow a phrase from "The
Bald Soprano" is to describe as
adequately as possible such two
plays as were presented by the
A^nes Scott Bla<?kfriars and the
Decatur Actors' Lab Thursday and
Friday, Nov. 15 and 16. Both plays
presented the dehumanization of
man, yet the approaches of Brecht's
"The Measures Taken" and
Ionesco's "The Bald Soprano are
entirely different.

"The Bald Soprano," with
Margaret Roberts aptly portray-
ing the wife of the family, pres-
ents the inability of man to com-
municate with man. Indeed, the
entire play, in which only the knit-
ting that Margaret did seemed to
have any sense at all, exposed the
ineptness of societal conversation.
Although termed a farce, the play
vacillated between near slapstick
and lines of marvelous implications,

All personalities within the play
were near caricitures of types
which are known all over the
world, although the scene of the
production was England. To be
commended for their performances
are all six members of the cast
who certainly had to memorize
lines which contained no continuity
whatever.

One of the most effective scenes,
judging from audience reaction,
was the exchange between Mr.
and Mrs. Martin. During the en-
tire conversation the same ex-
pressions were used as dialogue
and yet Ann Durance and Herbert
Francis managed to keep the re-
partee void of monotony.

George Rice of the faculty ap-
peared the epitome of a not- too-
bright Englishman with bis pipe
and smoking jacket. As the maid,
Sue Roberts furnished a relative-
ly simple spot in the all- too-
complicated play. Kenneth Haskin's
fire chief supplied a change of
pace for the witty dialogue which
was often too difficult to follow.

For a completely different sec-
ond half, four members of the
Communist party backed by a con-
trol chorus presented a deadly

Think nothing will help but
getting away from it all? Wish
you were on a desert island?
JOHNNY ESCOE'S will take
you there. You'll sail into a
world of fish nets and palm
trees, and you'll indulge in
Italian, Spanish or Mexican
dishes. Try it for an "afford-
able" change of scenery.

To get away during the day,
grab your books and a sketch pad

you may feel inspipred and
head for ARABIA MOUNTAIN
(Hwy 212 South to Klondike, left
to end 5 mi. then left again).
It's a miniature, less-frequented
Stone Mountain. If you're tired of
feeling like the whole world has
piled on top of you, climb to the
top. Up there the wind is blow-
ing, the sun is warm, and nothing
is any higher than you are. Good
place to regain your perspective.
There are clumps of pines on flat
stretches of rock where you can
do some quiet, unfrantic studying.

Another get away! Visit the At-
lanta airport, pay your dime to
the observation deck, and watch
the planes. The perfect rhythm
they maintain at busy hours is
fascinating! Go between 11 and
12 a.m., when the Atlanta airport
is one of the world's busiest.

Then have lunch in the FAR
EAST ROOM on the upper level.
You can manage this little
extravagance on a dollar if you
have the SPECIAL SALAD (77c).
To sprinkle over it you'll be
offered garlic croutons, and
chopped bacon and egg. Gob on
all three; then goo it up with
your favorite dressing. One
senior says you must splurge a
little more for rolls with orange
butter!

Maybe you don't feel compelled
to get away, but are seeking a
new adventure. Then drive to the
old Union Station, take the turn
that leads down, and find yourself
in a city you never knew existed

OLD ATLANTA. You'll see the
origins of the city, where it grew
up around the tracks to become
the rail center of the southeast.
There are ancient stores, boarded
up for the most part, European-

the likes of which you've never
seen before in our gentle South-

word who to notify "in case" be-
fore you go there, and have a

Future Fridays Provide Events
Including Hockey, Horse Show

By MARILYN LITTLE

"Amor vincit omnia" means many things to many people.
To Latin and Chaucerian scholars it is translated simply as
"Love conquers all!" To young married couples, it is the
motto with which they fight bankruptcy (if their parents
aren't particularly generous)

To us Hockey fans, however, it
has a more exciting meaning. It
says that "love
I of Hockey trans-
j cends time." For
i example, and pre-
j cedents to the
| contrary, the
Hockey season is
being extended
one whole extra
week. Now you
can stop moping around, wonder-
ing what to do with your free
time on Friday afternoons. Once
again, you can go to the games
and gleefully watch your class
either win or go down in defeat.
This week, the Sophomores face
the Juniors, and the Freshmen
meet the Seniors. Be sure to come!

As a matter of fact, all of the
coming Fridays are taken care of.
The 14th has something to do with
exams, but the 7th promises to be
thrilling. At 2:00 that afternoon,
Vogt's Riding School is sponsoring
our first fall quarter Horse Show.

In addition to seeing your
friends' skills and spills, you'll be
treated to a very special event.
"The Agnes Scott Equestrian Drill
Team" will provide, quote, "a
unique, incomparable, exciting
exhibition of precise drill maneu-
vers on horseback." Obviously, it's
going to be the comedy event of
the year.

The really nice thing about this
show is the arrangement Mr.
Vogt has made for us spectators.
We will view the whole show from
a cozy living room, complete with
roaring fire and a vast picture
window. No matter what the
weather is, we'll see the show in
perfect comfort. Of course, trans-
portation will be provided ... so
don't miss it . . . it's going to be
great!

In order that you won't forget
these two events, here is a helpful
calendar which you may clip out
and use for everything.

The acting was equally superb
as that of "The Bald Soprano" if
not more so. for the three boys and
one girl conveyed a sense of fana-
ticism with which they could not
have possibly been confronted per-
sonally.

In one of the last sketches of
the production, Scottie Roberts
captured the entire audience with
her apparent sincerity and earnest
convictions in leaping blindly onto
a high platform and screaming,
"We have come to help you; we've
come from Moscow!

vide a sturdy background for this
new addition to the acting crew
of the college, who astounded the
audience into complete silence

the last line had been uttered.

the impact of its message even
more disturbing, for Brecht was
commissioned by the Communist
Party of which he was a member
before his death to write a pro-
paganda play.

Yet, after its first performance
the production was forbidden a
second showing because it does in-
deed show the oftentimes idiotic
fanaticism of the doctrine of Com-
munism.

This local showing was the sec-
ond time that the difficult play
has been given in the United
States, due in part to its extremely
controversial subject matter. How-
ever, the entire cast managed to
convey the emotions of the play
in such a way that it provoked
thought but did not necessarily
offend.

One leaves the performance of
these two plays with the feeling
that somewhere in between the
extremely blase attitude demon-
strated in "The Bald Soprano" and
the intense emotions of "The
Measures Taken" must lie sanity
for man.

Velkoff Speaks
On Matrimony

By LIL HARRIS

On five Wednesday afternoons
during this quarter, room 207 in
Campbell Hall will be a mecca
for curious seniors and engaged
girls.

Meeting at five and at 4:45 on
January 16, the group, commonly
known as the "marriage class,"
will confront the apparently
staggering problems that married
life may present.

Last Tuesday Mr. Martin of the
Economics Department analyzed
money matters in marriage, such
as the planning of a budget and the
unpredictable expense involved in
such an undertaking. In the face of
these revelations, a mild panic re-
sulted.

Even though these sessions are
called classes they entail no assign-
ments. Nor is any credit awarded.

They are a series of lectures de-
signed to acquaint "qualified" stu-
dents with the adventure of marri-
age.

On January 16 Dr. Abraham S.
Velkoff, a gynecologist, will lecture
about the physical aspect of marri-
age.

The group will not meet on Jan-
uary 23. The next week, on Jan-
uary 30, Mr. Ted Westerman, who
is with the Sociology Department
at Emory, will discuss the "Reci-
procal Roles in Marriage."

His topic includes relations with
in-laws and the herculean task
of simultaneously being a wife and
a student.

Dr. Alston is scheduled to appear
before the group on February 6.
He will give a lecture entitled "On
Making Marriage Permanent/

The series will end on February
12, when Dr. Paul Lehmann plans
to deal with the religious side of
marriage.

Dr. Richard Benson Sewall, Pro-
fessor of English at Yale Uni-
versity, will lecture at Agnes Scott,
January 21-23.

Dr. Sewall, noted as a literary
critic and as an authority on the
theory of tragedy, will be in At-
lanta under the auspices of the
University Center Visiting Scholars
Program.

At 8 p.m. Monday in Gaines, Dr.
Sewall will speak on the subject of
tragedy. He will also give the ad-
dress at Wednesday Convocation,
and will lecture the class in literary
criticism (English 401) on Tuesday
at 2 p.m.

Students at Scott are already
familiar with Dr. Sewall through
his essay, "The Tragic Form,"
which is in the English 101 text,
Tragedy. His books include The

Vision of Tragedy and, as co-au-
thor, Tragic Themes in Western
Literature.

Born in Albany, New York, Dr.
Sewall received his A. B. degree
from Williams College and his
Ph.D. from Yale. He is presently
the master of Yale's Ezra Stiles
College, and the director of its pro-
gram of independent study for able
seniors.

Kay Gerald Announces
Junior Jaunt Activities

Beginning with a "slave" sale
next Thursday night, January 24,
Agnes Scott's annual Junior Jaunt,
a weekend of projects for charity,
will be under way.

Junior Jaunt is the only occas-
sion when Agnes Scott students
unite to give to organized charities.
The recipients of the funds to be
raised this year were chosen in
chapel last Thursday.

The money will be equally divid-
ed between the Children's Medical
Research Memorial, an Atlanta
organization, the Plantation Home,
a children's home in Conyers, and
the World University Service.

Friday, January 25 will be Sup-
pressed Desires Day with students
granted specific privileges by the
faculty. Tickets will be a dollar.

Climaxing the weekend will be
the Junior Jaunt Carnival to be

held this year on the first floor of
Rebekah. The carnival will begin at
3 p.m. and will last until 9 p.m.

Each class will have four booths
and will help with the food booth.
There will also be 'events' sponsor-
ed by each class. The faculty is also
planning to participate.

After the carnival there will be
a dance from 9 to 11, with the Jes-
ters, a singing group from USC,
performing for the first hour.

Kay Gerald is overall chairman
for the weekend, and is assisted by
Mary Ann Gregory, Carolyn Clarke,
Kitty Coggin, and Susan Gebhart,
class chairmen.

Kitty Strickland is in charge of
the Suppressed Desires Day skit,
while Daryle McEachern is in
charge of the Day itself.

her M.A. degree in international

Due to a discussion with a pro-
fessor, Miss Frederick instead de-
cided upon a journalistic career
which led her overseas during the
Second World War, to the Nurem-
berg trials, on an airplane with the
airlift into Berlin in the late 1940s.

She has been assigned to both
the Democratic and Republican
conventions and was the only
woman to cover the United Nations
during the Korean Conflict.

At present she holds the post of
NBC radio and television commen-
tator from the United Nations.

During her decade-plus history
in journalism she has worked for
many news organizations including
U. S. News and World Report, then
known as United States News, for
which she covered the Department
of State, the American Broad-
casting System and North Ameri-
can News Alliance.

In addition to her position on the
list of the top ten women in the
U. S. the newswoman has received
numerous awards including the
DuPont radio news commentator
award in 1953. She was the first
woman to receive this honor.

In her speech, Miss Frederick
emphasized the human aspects of
the international situation.

"Science cannot change the
hearts of men," she said, "but un-
less the hearts of men are changed,
science may destroy our civiliza-
tion."

Other colleges cannot be con-

Since it is already late in the

Student Art Exhibit
Features Fall Work

A student art exhibition was held
by the Art Department in the third
floor gallery of Butterick Hall be-
fore and after Christmas vacation,
to display the work which the stu-
dents did during fall quarter.

The exhibit included water
colors, oil paintings, ink sketches,
oil paintings, charcoal and pencil
drawings, pottery, and sculpture.

Each art class submitted select-
ed works of the students. All pic-
tures were for sale.

At the door of the gallery were
located two ballot boxes for the
students and faculty to select
their favorite painting. Anneke
Schepman's oil painting, "Out of
Darkness," won both polls. "Saint
Marco" by Frances Anderson came
in second in the faculty poll, while
Lynn Denton's painting "Facade"
came in second in the student poll.

"The struts on an airplane are
designed to serve a double pur-
pose," he continued. 'They hold the
wings both together and apart.
This is what Frost does with the
ideas in his poetry. He combines
pleasure and pain and good and
evil, seeing them as opposites hav-
ing value of themselves."

Thompson stressed the opposing
forces in Frost's life which con-
tributed to his ability as a poet.
"His parents were mismatched; his
mother a highly spiritual Scot,
his father a wild, carnal copper-
head," Dr. Thompson explained.

He went on to show how the
violent arguments between the
parents affected the two children.
"Both were sensitive children who
seemed to be born with their skins
inside out", but Jennie died in-
sane while Robert only became
more defiant.

Thompson then described various
events in Frost's early life, adoles-
cence and early manhood. "Fortu-
nately the diverse factors in Frost's
life broke constructively and
brought courage/ he contended.

Thompson told of Frost's first
step toward his present greatness.
Frost was living in the country, a

Sanders On Trial

It is with a great deal of hope and some skepticism that
we will watch Governor Carl Sanders in the first months of
his administration. The importance of his term cannot be
over-emphasized, for the future of Georgia will be estab-
lished within the next decade.

Former Governor Vandiver has laid the
groundwork upon which Sanders may in-
crease the stature of Georgia in the eyes of
the nation and the citizens of Georgia. The
number of votes cast in favor of Sanders
earlier this year 462,065 to the 305,777 of
Marvin Griffin indicates more than
Sander's popularity: this margin of victory
is evidence of Georgian opposition to the
type of administration which Marvin Griffin
represents.

Vandiver has been a pivotal figure between the admini-
stration carried on by Griffin and that which it is hoped
Sanders will maintain. Vandiver's positive attitude toward
the integration of the University of Georgia and his meas-
ures in favor of the abolition of the county unit system
have been among the several outstanding accomplishments
of the past term.

Georgia's move toward competent government is reflected
chiefly through the number of industries which are choosing
Atlanta as the site of branch offices. Smaller but equally
significant recognition of stable government is the considera-
tion of Atlanta as a possible site for the next World's Fair,
and Robert Kennedy's agreement to litigate the Supreme
Court's trial of the Georgia county unit system.

Georgia's prestige in the United States is at an all time
high: Sanders' failure in office could shove the state back
to the time when a reputable national magazine could
quote the cost of corruption during one administration as
$30 million. His success could make him the most important
individual in Georgia since Henry Grady, who forced the
South to look forward to unity with the North after the

Junior Jaunt

At one time the campus was constantly beseiged by persons
who were sol iciting for various organizations and charity
funds.

Throughout the year students and faculty
members alike were asked time and again
to be "considerate" or "think of others"
in other words, to give money to the organi-
zation under consideration.

To alleviate this continuous harrage,
Junior Jaunt was devised.

It was not only for convenience and as an
attempt to shoo ever-present solicitors from
the area that the week was designated for fund raising.

By a concentrated effort during one period of time, the
students of the early 1950's decided that more money could
be distributed where it would effect the most change and
that students could thus have more choice as to the type of
organization to which their money would be donated.

During its history the jaunt has become a force which
many of the officials and heads of various organizations
have come to recognize.
Co-operation of businesses which often deal with the col-
lege is extensive.

For instance, the printer of the tickets donates his equip-
ment and labor free of charge to print the thousand-plus
tickets. For this service he receives little recognition.

The only expenses of the entire week of concentrated
fund raising which are usually incurred are those which
arise from supplies to build booths and paper for hand-
made posters.

Faculty members cooperate by quietly enduring Suppressed
Desires Day antics and some are even longsuffering enough
to submit to the pre-emancipation practice of being sold as
a slave.

Actually now the only part of the entire campus popula-
tion missing from the festivities is the students. Many have
already contributed their time in planning and anticipating
the event.

Surely a little time from busy schedules will not he
"wasted* if it went toward seeing and supporting the forth-
coming Junior Jaunt of 1963. N.B.

India Strives For Solutions
To Many-Faceted Problems

By Guest Columnist ANNA BELLE FREEMAN

Chairman of the Indian Delegation to the United Nations

Prime Minister Jawaharal Nehru once wrote, "Problems
are not solved by merely looking in a different direction.
The Indian people are not "look-

' 'borne

ine: in a different direction." They
are seeking
peace. In the
Chinese - Indian
crisis the Indian
people have
rallied to their
nation's defense.

The Statesman
(newspaper, New
Delhi) stated
the ex-soldiers
were keen to get into their old
units. According to the authorities
at the recruiting office there has
been an unprecedented rush of
people wanting to join the Army
ever since the Chinese aggression
became known. And it was not al-
ways easy to convince the re-
jected.

"Not only are men stepping
forward to join the ranks in
safeguarding our India, but also
the women are attending clinics
for the instructions in emergen-
cy soup kitchens and general
health stations."
In another article the Statesman
printed: "They (women) were not
pessimistic about the future. The
important thing now was to pre-
pare for any emergency that might
arise, and they were confident
that ultimate victory will come to
India."

U.S. Aid

Help was sought without the
borders. Arms and transport in
the form of jets (from the United
States) and mules were requested
and granted.

These "aids" were given by U.S.,
Britain, and the U.S.S.R. The help
was granted.

What now? Senator Russell of
Georgia of the United States said
recently: "The Indians put on a
disgraceful exhibition in permitting
themselves to be driven out of
what should have been impreg-
nable strongholds in the border
mountains." (The Atlanta Journal,
Jan. 7, 1963)

The future aid from sources such
as the United States will elimi-
nate the possibilities of such so-
called "disgraceful exhibitions."
Should the world wait for all
Senator Russells to advance its
position? Does he actually know
what he is saying? On different
occasions Russell spoke con-
descendingly of Prime Minister
Nehru, then of former Defense
Minister Krishna Menon.
Where does he stand? Is he like
so many other foreigners who jump
to quick conclusions without
knowledge of the facts? The In-
dian people are willing to advance

Sometimes only RARE occa-
sions of course
people find them-
selves without
plans and the
feeling that if
they have to look
at another book
they will scream.
3 So, unless Social
Council is having
a movie these poor souls have no-
thing to do.

T.V. is always fun, but not
sitting in the basement of the
Hub in a chair that has no back
nor bottom, breathing stale
smoke and straining to see over
someone's head. Besides, no mat-
ter what that T.V. says, Dr.
Kildare does not have a wiggly
line down the middle of his face.
You may think Main's T.V. room
is fine, but so do two thousand
others, and you can't smoke there.
There is a T.V. room in Rebekah,

but that is for dates which if you
had in the first place you wouldn't
need.

Meanwhile back in the Hub, the
third floor rooms, such as the old
Silhouette room, are empty. Why
not put a new T.V. in there along
with some chairs that have backs
and bottoms?

Adding new T.V/s and fixing
the ones we have is not my only
suggestion. Why couldn't the
swimming pool be open on week-
end afternoons and nights? It is
open from 4-5 on weekdays, but
strangely enough it is closed at
the time when people have the
most spare time and are most
interested in doing something
besides studying.
The new Student Center will be
a big help in solving the problem
of what to do when you don't have
anything to do. But, in the mean-
time some of the things suggested,
and others, can be done.

Short Quarter Brings
Long Winter Diseases

By FRANCES ANDERSON

Some measure it in days 60 to be exact. Some measure
it in terms of a clean slate.

Freshmen measure it in terms of
"my first." Sophomores measure
it in terms of
Tom Jones.
Juniors have not
said in terms of
what they meas-
ure it. Seniors
measure it in
terms of "my
last." Others
measure it in
terms of "my best" or "my worst."
Most measure it in terms of a
nebulous limbo between a be-
ginning and an end.

By now readers you have as-
certained that this columnist Is
speaking of Winter Quarter.
Why does this quarter have so
many different measures and
why do so many students ap-
proach it with hesitation?
The Scottie returns to school
with fond memories of her Christ-
mas Vacation. In the first week of
school, she is "hit" with her whole
quarter's assignments which grow
larger and larger with each addi-
tional test and paper that is as-
signed.

If she did not get her cuts, she
is already carrying a heavy weight
around her neck (even though she
knows each class costs $3.50).

She knows that this quarter is
a long unbroken stretch. (There is
nothing like Thanksgiving Holi-
days to break it up). She knows
that this is the shortest quarter
but the same amount of material
must be covered. She usually is
under pressure to do better aca-
demically this quarter.

There are no spring breezes to
lighten her spirits no chance
for spring fever. In fact winter
fever is waiting to attack its
victim. She is very vulnerable
right now and the disease Is
very contagious.

Unfortunately, there is no fifty
cent shot offered at the infirmary
for such an illness oh, if only
there were!

However, there is hope. There is
a special potion which has been
known to work in the past. This
remedy is free and its ingredients
are as follows: one good sense of
humor, 50 layers of thick
skin (this is what repels winter
fever), 12 pints of tenacity, 12
pints of determination, 1 gallon
of common sense, a dash of self-
ishness (to prevent the patient
from becoming over-concerned
when a fellow student is hit by
depression) .

Mix the tenacity and determi-
nation well, blend in the common
sense and the dash of selfishness
and sprinkle in some extra-cur-
ricular activities to balance the
selfishness. Pour this mixture in
between the thick skin and place
the sense of humor in the middle.
Bake until well done.

The recommended dosage Is
one portion daily for two weeks
and then double portions for the
remainder of the quarter. Note:
for the weeks filled with tests
and papers a fresh batch should
be mixed substituting 60 ounces
of good luck for the extra-
curricular activities.
This "doctor" does not state
that the above remedy is uncon-
ditionally guaranteed to work"
but it is a lot better to try it than
to just wait for the fever to strike.
After all, you may be the one in
ten that is afflicted.

Magazine Chooses
New College Board

MADEMOISELLE magazine has
chosen Martha Chew, Frances
Anderson, Lynn Denton, seniors,
and Betsy Anderson, freshman, to
be College Board Members this
year. Both Lynn and Martha have
been College Board Members pre-
viously.

This fall interested college stu-
dents submitted assignments to
Mademoiselle. Frances evaluated
the Agnes Scott News as her
assignment, and Betsy designed ad-
vertisements. Since Lynn and
Martha have been members before
they did not submit assignments
this fall. Examples of assignments
which Mademoiselle suggested are
the planning of a 40 lb. wardrobe
for a trip to Europe, discussing the
differences between college women
of today and those in the last gen-
eration, and discussing what writer
or artist one would like to meet.
These assignments could have been
submitted seriously, humorously or
by drawing.

In February after the completion
of another assignment; 20 Guest
Editors will be chosen from College
Board Members. Guest Editors
spend early June through July
working with Mademoiselle on reg-
ular salaries and actually produce
the August issue. If articles by the
Guest Editors are published they
are done so at regular rates.

In addition the Guest Editors
see much of New York, and as a
surprise last year they were flown
to Rome for a five day vacation.
Guest Editors often remain with
Mademoiselle and during this
month of training are considered
potential staff members.

College Board Members not
selected to be Guest Editors keep
Mademoiselle in contact with cur-
rent college trends and submit in-
formation to Mademoiselle
throughout the year.

Resolutions For Atlantans
include Fun, Frolic In 63

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

Made all your New Year's Resolutions? All of them? Or

did you forget to declare all the fun and frolic you're going

to have in 1963? Better do it! There'll never be a New Year

quite like this one, and once it's gone, 365 days for having

fun will never come again. Need SOME SUGGESTIONS?

RESOLVED: to get the most _ . . .

birthplace of jazz, he makes his

music livel

RESOLVED: to go to a new and
different place, at least once (once
for every new place, that is!)

One suggestion: When you're in
a mood for quiet talk and guitar
strings, for thirty varieties of
coffee and people playing chess by
candlelight, stop in at the Golden
Horn. It's located in a block lifted
right out of Greenwich Village,
and there's a lantern burning at
the top of the steps.

RESOLVED: to see the best
of the good movies. One of the
best of the year is showing at
the Peachtree Art. Ifs PHAE-
DRA, a modern version of Ra-
cine's tragedy based on the
original great story. Strange,
absorbing, ifs a film you won't
be able to forget even though,
in parts, you might like it.
RESOLVED: to look ahead, plan
ahead, to see the greats of the
entertainment world.

A notable is Dame Judith An-
derson, who will appear at the
Wesley Memorial Methodist
Church in her two greatest roles,
Medea and Lady Macbeth. She will
be presented February 22-23 by
the Famous Artists Series.

Also in February, WHIST-
LER'S MOTHER, famous study
in black and white and grey by
the American painter, will be
on loan to the Art Association
from Paris.

Rep. Council Begins
Student Ability File

This year Representative Council
has taken as a project the forma-
tion of an interest card file.

A similar file has been used in
the past as an aid to anyone look-
ing for people with special talents
or interests for committee work or
participation in various activities.

Responsibility for carrying out
this project was delegated to the
junior class, with Laurie Oakes as
overall chairman.

Assisting her as chairmen for the
other classes are Libby McGhee,
freshmen; Diane Miller, sopho-
more; and Bryce Burgess, senior.

Information for the file was col-
lected on interest sheets filled out
by the members of each class last
quarter. The sheets contain 40
topics to be checked for interest,
special skill or ability and talent.

Notebooks will be made up for
each class. The interest file will
consist of the 40 topics with the
cards filed behind them of all
people who checked each topic.

The cards will be a different
color for each class and will con-
tain only the name of the person
who checked the specific topic.

The notebooks can then be used
as a cross-reference to show the de-
gree of interest, skill and exper-
ience in the topic checked.

The topics contained on the
sheets are sports and fields of
special interest, activities in which
each person is interested in taking
part, fields in which she has had
special training, activities and posi-
tions of responsibility in high school
and college, special talents and
major field of study.

The file and notebooks will be
kept behind the hostess desk in
Buttrick.

Agreements Sought

India is in favor of peaceful
agreements. The Pakistan govern-
ment has considered recently with-
drawing from CENTO and SEATO
alliances because of India's mili-
tary buildup.

Should India act with caution
in the future because of the agree-
ment between China and Pakistan?
Pakistan claims pro-western lean-
ings but has entertained an invi-
tation from Moscow. What does
this mean?

Where does Britain stand?
Does she give weapons to two
opposing forces to kindle fires?
It is well known that Britain
is still selling Viscounts to Red
China.

Another member of the Com-
monwealth is selling wheat to
Red China. To whom does one
turn?

With help a determined people

Countdown

By BETSY ANDERSON

Dan Cupid pulled out his ear-
muffs and climbed aboard the
sleigh with Santa and the elves
this year. And Scott girls are glad
he did!

Roommates Kaylyn Ogburn and
Bonnie Hatfield are wearing the
engagement rings of fraternity
brothers Bob Kirkland and Billy
Hairrell, PKA's at Georgia Tech,
now. Kaylyn and Bob will be mar-
ried June 22; Bonnie and Billy (he's
PKA president), next Christmas.

No date has been set, but the
stars in her eyes are as bright as
the diamond on the hand of Vir-
ginia Maudlin, engaged to Annap-
olis first classman Tony Womble.

The sparkle on the third finger
left hand of Anne Miller was put
there by Howard Patterson, a
senior at East Tennessee State,
Johnson City. They are planning
a wedding this summer.

Sigma Chi Tom Redford pre-
sented Kaye Stapleton with a dia-
mond too . . . they'll be wed in
September.

New Year's Eve was the date of
the engagement of Sandra Chand-
ler and Bob Hancock, a senior at
Georgia State. They plan wedding
vows in August.

Who's superstitious? Certainly
not Dee Chandler and fiance
George Bulgin (He's with the
Army at Red Stone Arsenal,
Huntsville, Ala.)! They'll be wed
July 13.

Helen Jones and Ty Robin, a
grad student at Tech, plan to be
married on June 8. They will
honeymoon in Bermuda after
Helen's graduation.

Nuptials are planned June 17
for Bryce Burgess and John Beas-
ley, a graduate student at Tech.
They've been engaged since Octo-
ber, will be married in Fort
Worth.

Lynne Cole and Artie Scott, who
was just graduated from the Uni-
versity of Georgia, are planning a
"late summer or early fall"
wedding.

Dot Laird and Quentin Foster,
an electrical engineer with NSA,
Washington, D .C, and a '61
grad of Tech, plan to be married
June 14.

Fraternity pins are as suscepti-
ble to being given away as en-
gagement rings.

Mary Kibler now wears the Pi
Kappa pin of Robert Reynolds, a
junior at Davidson.

"The dear hearts who live in
my hometown" is the theme song
of sophomore Cindy Coleman,
pinned tx> William WLllson, a stu-
dent at the University of South
Carolina and, like Cindy, is from
Charleston.

Jinna Clark has been wearing
the TKE pin of Georgia Tech de-
bater Phil Talton.

Nancy Payne is pinned to Emory
SAE Butch Slaughter.

Pat O'Brian's pin belongs to Foy
Divine, an ATO at Chapel Hill.

Carol Roberts is also beaming

Collins from VPI.

Charles Castles has pinned junior
Ann Pennebaker.

in thif
weeks,

although some always refer to it
- as "mono." At
any rate, our
m^^^HHHHffi over-active A.A.

has resolved to
put forth some
decisive and
*J Jf stringent action
in this matter.

To be specific,
there will be
lumn for the next few
series of exercises de-
signed to REDUCE and TONE UP
the sloppy appearance of each of
us. These exercises will, it is
hoped, be of inestimable value.

They will be fully illustrated
by various members of A.A.,
and clearly explained in each
issue.

Furthermore (for merely $20.00)
one may pick up a copy of the
complete set, which will, of course,
be bound in a brown-paper wrap-
ping with the innocent title of
Tom Jones, for those who are
embarrassed.

The Sophomores have advance
copies, it seems, which require a
mere fifty-sixty hours of perusing
to get the gist of the matter, but
ours are shorter.

In regard to sports, the past
quarter's Horse Show was a tre-
mendous success. Nancy Cros-
land won the Advanced Riders
class, with Laura Sanderson
copping the Jumping event.
Betty H. Armstrong tok the Be-
ginners group and many others
participated in the Drill.

The Winter show will be equally
as good, so be looking forward to
it with great vigor.

Of more immediate import, how-
ever, is the upcoming basketball
season. Even the Seniors have
enough players, so the four classes
should wage an exciting and hard-
fought season. Incidentally, it be-
gins at 4:30 this Friday in the
gym. Start the quarter right
come to the Games!

A.A. and C.A. are having a
basketball game this Thursday
night, following the bonfire, to
really show what the season
won't be like.

Last fall, one of these councils
beat the other in volleyball 21-0,
and the victums are determined
to get "an eye for an eye," so to

speak.

It starts at 9:30 and will last
only a half hour So come
out for the council of your choice
but come out.

Music Conference
Hears Hensel Duo

"Duo for Violin and Piano" writ-
ten by Richard Hensel of the ASC
music department has been chosen
for presentation at the Eighth
Annual Forum of Regional Con-
temporary Music, Feburary 1 and
2.

Mr. Hensel's piece, which was
completed in October of 1962, con-
sists of four movements entitled
Poem, Fantasy, Dialogue and Di-
version. These names, says the pro-
fessor, only present the moods from
which the music grew.

The meeting at the University
of Southern Mississippi, formerly
Mississippi Southern College, will
be attended by members of the
Southeastern Composers League, a
group which has members in 12
southeastern states.

The program will include pres-
entation of pieces which have been
chosen for this honor. Following
the concerts will be panel dis-
cussions.

Usually, Mr. Hensel says, the
panelists, include members of the
league presenting pieces at the
meeting, review the work just
played and related problems of
other contemporary music.

The piece presented at the meet-
ing will also be a part of the
violin concert which John Adams of
the department will present later
during the year.

Since finishing the duo, Mr. Hen-
sel has been working on a sym-
phony, a work which will go to-
ward completion of his doctoral re-
quirements at the University of
Illinois.

Committee Eliminates
May Day Possibilities

A committee formed to investi-
gate the possibilities of holding a
May Day production this year has
decided that the time and money
necessary to produce a program of
real quality is too great to make
the effort worthwhile.

The committee was composed of
Daryl McEachern, Julianne Wil-
liams, Gayle Stubbs, and Betty
Hood from Representative Council;
and Miss Wilburn, Miss Winter,
Miss Osborne, and Katie Shearer,
representing the physical education
department, Blackfriars and the
Dance Group, who would be in-
volved in the production.

Reconsideration of the May Day
program, which has not been held
for several years, arose from a
question in a student forum.

The main objections raised by
the committee were, first, that the
May Day production, which was
begun to provide an activity in
which everyone could participate,
no longer serves this purpose in a
school life already crowded with
extracurricular activties.

Blackfriars and the Dance Group
have their own programs and have
little time to spend on such a large
production.

Secondly, the cost of the pro-
gram, which was not great in the
past, would now be a real obstacle
in that costumes, scenery, and an
orchestra to produce a program of
quality would be very expensive.

Campus Mock UN Plans Continue;
Security Council Selects Freeman

By DOTTIE STRUMPF

Last week, on January 17, an-
other step was taken to forward
the Agnes Scott campus Mock
United Nations project. The Se-
curity Council convened at a meet-
ing led by Sarah Hodges and Nan-
cy Yontz. Many of the plans con-
cerning future functions of the
project were discussed.

The main items of attention
were:

1) The election of the President
of the Security Council which re-
sulted in a victory for Annabel le
Freeman, one of the delegates
representing India.

2) The agenda for the Assembly
to be held on April 20th was sub-
mitted and approved. The 3 -item
program wil be centered around
the following topics: a) Economic
and social consequences of dis-
armament, b) Economic develop-
ment of underdeveloped countries,
and c) Restoration of the lawful
rights to the People's Republic of
China in the United Nations.

Another of the more pending
items announced was a schedule of
the Bloc Dinners to be held in the
dining hall. For these occasions
there will be special tables re-

served with displays and the like.
Jan. 22 Asian Bloc Dinner
Jan. 29 Latin American Bloc
Dinner

Feb. 5 Soviet Bloc Dinner
Feb. 12 Western Bloc Dinner
Feb. 19 Middle East Bloc
Dinner

Feb. 26 African Bloc Dinner

Other reminders included the
fact that reports are to be turned
in by each delegation on March 1
and on April 1 to the box in the
mailroom. Along with this was the
announcement that the master
calendar, mentioned before in the
News, has been placed on the
United Nations bulletin board.

All delegations are requested to
schedule their meetings there.

Also lists of foreign students
have been posted on the United
Nations board for the convenience
of the delegate members.

More news concerning the pres-
ent activities of the United Na-
tions project is the results of the
meeting of the Delegation Heads
on January 18.

The main topic of interest dur-
ing this meeting was the appoint-
ment of the girls who will be in
charge of the Bloc Dinners. These
are:

African Bloc

Susan Kapple (Nigeria)
Muriel Lindsay (Tanganyika)

Soviet Bloc
Patsy Gay (Ukrania)
Kay Harvey (Yugoslavia)

Asian Bloc
Betty E. Armstrong (India)
Lucia Howard (Nepal)

Western Bloc
Margaret Brawner (Portugal)
Frances Fulton( Finland)

Latin American Bloc
Karen Lee (Chile)
Betsy Dykes (Panama)

Middle East Bloc

Frannie Bailey (Yemen)
Jan Smoot (Iraq)

As a closing note to the meeting,
all of the delegate heads were
urged to begin writing the Dele-
gates from their country in the
United Nations, the Embassy, the
State Department of their country
and the United Nations Informa-
tion Service immediately.

The possibility of inviting
foreign students to participate and
lend their aid was strongly urged,
an aspect which will add a great
deal of authenticity to the Assem-
bly to be held in April.

New 'Peace Corps'

The Peace Corps, Kennedy's brain child, is viewed today
as a success by many of those who denounced it as idealistic,
impractical, and politically unsafe a few
years ago. Its success is attributed to two ' """"No-
things: the idealism of youth and the tanta- 1
lizing appeal of travel in foreign lands.

Time magazine, in its January 18 issue,
reports that now the administration is
planning a new corps just as idealistic but
much less exotic. Probably to be named the
National Service Corps, this organization
send volunteers into the jungles of New York
slums and the deserts of Arizona in order to aid our own
underprivileged people.

Protests are expected to be numerous. Many people, in-
cluding Ohio Senator Frank Lausche, feel that "we have
legions of Peace Corps workers already in our country"
such as ministers, social workers, teachers, the police, and
parole officers.

The administration feels that a special government agency
is needed (probably under the Department of Health, Edu-
cation, and Welfare) to guide interested volunteers in the
solution of several social problems.

The N. S. C. will probably start out with 500 volunteers
in mid-summer and grow within three years to a force of
3,000 to 5,000. It will rely on students and retired people for
the majority of its volunteers. Top pay will be about $900
for a minimum of two years' work.

If the National Service Corps does go into operation, it
will represent a great step forward. The U. S. will be help-
ing its own people most of whom need guidance more
desperately than some of those served by the Peace Corps.
For example, the children of migrant workers will receive
education heretofore denied them because their families
were not legal residents of the communities in which they
worked.

The N. S. C. may seem idealistic, but it is desperately need-
ed by people who have been neglected by the current social
aid structure.

If the N. S. C. succeeds as its older sister has, Mr. Ken-
nedy deserves to pat himself on the back proudly. If it
fails, at least no one can accuse his administration of
neglecting America's trouble spots in favor of those of
Ghana or the Congo. M.L.L.

U.N. Commentator Discusses
Opinions Of World Leaders

By NANCY BRADFORD

President Kennedy, during the recent Cuban crisis,
literally, "cut the ground out from under" U. N. Ambassador
Adlai Stevenson, according to U. N. Correspondent Pauline

Frederick.

When Kennedy neglected to pro-
vide Stevenson with adequate in-
formation concerning the crisis,
the ambassador was forced to
make many statements which later
proved to be false. This, accord-
ing to the veteran correspondent,
resulted in almost irreparable

The official number of English majors at Agnes Scott last
spring was 59. An interesting corollary to this tidy sum are
the small numbers of students holding mem-
bership in B. O. Z. or Folio, and the com-
paratively few works submitted each quar-
ter to Aurora.

It is natural that in searching for creativi-
ty on campus we should look first to the
English majors, but even those students
: - Jfc|!^-V" whose interests lie the farthest from Eng-
;-^^^HL, lish should remember that they spent two
Ipij'^ years and approximately $360 being exposed
" v< to the English Department.

Whatever our major, it seems that somewhere in our
college career we have decided that criticism and creativi-
ty do not go hand in hand in literature. The literary maga-
zines of a great number of colleges come to the Aurora
staff jammed full of the creative outpourings of the stu-
dents' minds. The mere size of magazines from other
colleges points to Agnes Scott's unique avoidance of cre-
ative writing.

There are many causes for the lack of literary creativity
on campus. One primary motive behind non-writing is the
lack of student interest in that which is produced creatively.

A "100" on a Shakespeare objective is far more admired
than is an original poem, and a well-written chapel skit re-
ceives more praise than a good short story.

Less than 15% of the student body attended the recent
student art exhibit.

Another explanation for our reluctance to write creatively
is seen by some students as a fear of student comment on
original work.

Our tendency to be hypercritical of everything from the
food in the dining hall to the works of Donne is reflected
in student reluctance to be exposed to such judgment.

The remedy for the lack of creativity is implicit in its
causes. Student attempts must be fostered and encouraged
at every oportunity. The abundance of creative criticism
which manifests itself in assigned papers must be channeled
to purely creative ends.

Aurora does not boast of collaboration with John Ciardi,
but each piece submitted receives the careful consideration
of a selected staff, and even the most futile of attempts are
returned to the author with suggestions that may enable her
to write a very good piece the next quarter.

Somewhere in the gap between high school creativity
("What I Did Last Summer") and the work of professional
and free-lance writers there is a definite place for attempts
at self expression.

Such creativity at the college level will not be rewarded
by a grade, as in high school, nor will it be rewarded fi-
nancially. But such creativity is the more meaningful be-
cause of the end which it contains in itself.
Simultaneously humbly and egotistically submitted for
scrutiny by one's peers, the original work becomes upon
publication evidence of one student's ability to creatively
employ the years of her education and her experience. C.W.

with the other delegates.

Where befort the members of
the U. N. always listened when
Stevenson spoke, now they merely
acknowledged his remarks.
Stevenson and Kennedy

This lack of communication be-
tween the President and his U. N.
representative, Miss Frederick
blames on the method which the
President uses to make his de-
cisions. A group of his close
associates gather around him and
they seem to discuss everything
thoroughly before reaching a de-
cision. Stevenson is not among
the select group.

Apparently, Miss Frederick feels,
the President of the United States
wants a "yes man" and Stevenson
at times disagrees with the Presi-
dent. However, Stevenson is now
scheduled to make more public
appearances at official functions
and members of the press believe
that he may "stick it out."

When asked to make a compari-
son of former ambassador Henry
Cabot Lodge and Stevenson, Miss
Frederick definitely favored the
present man, for she said that
Lodge displayed an "arrogance"
and at times even "refused to
shake hands with some of the
delegates."

Stevenson, on the other hand,
"knew and was known by the
delegates" and at the time of the
Cuban crisis was in the process
of winning the support of the
African and Asian blocks.

Zorin

The recent removal of Zorin, the
former representative from the
U.S.S.R., according to the NBC
commentator, had nothing to do
with the manner in which the
Russian handled the recent crisis.
Apparently the Russians are wish-
ing "to soften their line" with re-
spect to many of the issues before
the U.N. and the newly appointed
ambassador has been directed to
effect this change.

Since Valerin has just arrived
in New York to take over his post,
Miss Frederick feels that 'it is too
early to tell" about the policies
and character of the new ambassa-
dor.

Speaking of the issues before
the U.N. in its first session during
1963, the reporter says that the
only thing standing in the way of
the acceptance of Red China to
the organization is the attitude of
the United States.

Miss Frederick apparently feels
that soon if the U. S. continues
with its present policy of non-
recognition the entire world
will be forced to admit its poten-
tial danger, for Red China is now
almost capable of detonating its
first atomic bomb.

Silhouette Announces
Proposed Redefinition

(Editor's note: Hoping to make the 1963 Silhouette the reflection
of student body events and ideas, the annual staff welcomes your
opinions on this proposed change m the concept of Silhouette's beauty
section.

By Guest Columnist MARGARET VAN DEMAN,
Silhouette Feature Editor

Each year the Silhouette includes in the feature section
the pictures of seven girls who have been recognized for
their "poise, personality, and charm." The staff of the 1963
Silhouette offers a redefinition of the standards and manner
of selection.

In thinking about the girls you
will nominate for this honor this
year, we ask
that you consider,
not only physical
beauty, but
feminimity, vital-
ity, integrity, and
individuality.

We ask also
that on your
nominating bal-
q reason you feel
your nominee is qualified for this
honor. This is necessary and im-
portant since there will be pub-
lished in the Silhouette with each
girl's picture a short write-up de-
scribing her.

This year you as a student body
will do all the selecting. Each
class will nominate four of its
classmates. From these sixteen
girls, the entire student body will
elect seven.

Obviously this is going to take
more time for consideration on
your part. But this is appropriate
since it will be an indication of
what the Agnes Scott student body

considers most worthy of praise.
It wil be a genuine token of honor
to the seven girls chosen.

Group To Perform
For Sophs' Parents

Five new members were elected
by >the dance group in the winter
quarter try outs. The girls
Conny Cooper, Bobbie Trammell,
Ann Rodgers Debbie Potts, and
Leslie Hawkins are freshmen.

Dancing during Sophomore Par-
ents' Weekend, the group will
present Catfish Row from Porgy
and Bess and the Street Scene
from The West Side Story. Be-
sides this, the girls have begun
working on their Spring Concert
to be held in May.

Says Katie Shearer, leader of
the group, 'We are trying to work
up our own production crew for
costumes, make-up, and lights."
The girls also plan a lecture-
demonstration on Contemporary
Dance ait the physical education
conference in February.

Students Speak Out
On Chapel Changes

Eighty-five percent of the Agnes
Scott students polled on a recent
questionaire said that they feel
that a successful chapel program
can be carried out on a voluntary
basis.

The questionaire was issued by
the chapel committee formed by
the Representative Council to study
the problem of poor chapel atten-
dance and to try to draw up some
solutions. It enabled the committee
to get a cross section of student
opinions on the chapel situation.

When asked where they go when
they do not attend chapel, the
largest number of students replied
their rooms, the library, and the
hub. Outside of class meeting, they
showed most attendance at the
faculty-held chapels.

In reply to the question of when
they attend chapel, 23 said every-
day, 248 said several times a week,
200 said seldom, and 10 said never.
Ninety-two percent of the students
feel that the chapel programs on a
whole have been successful this
year.

The majority of the students dis-
approve switching the chapel days
around and having a break before
chapel if it means starting classes
earlier.

Positive suggestions include more
publicity for the chapel programs,
devotionals planned to coordinate
more with the chapel themes, and
the omission of long, slow, un-
familiar hymns.

The chapels which students said
would be of most interest would be
panel discussions by professors and
students; programs stressing cur-
rent social, economical, cultural,
and political topics; faculty-student
talent shows; and outside speakers.

Several students suggested that
a smoking room in Presser Hall
would help increase chapel atten-
dance.

It was also suggested that a com-
pulsory Thursday chapel in the
form of an open forum be held to
inform the students of possible
compulsory chapels, and that
chapel should be renamed "assem-
bly" because the former is not a
reflection of the true nature of the
program.

The report furthur assets that
the chapel programs should be
made more meaningful in order to
change the prevailing attitude of
the student body.

"If this change is not accom-
plished, the only alternative will be
compulsory chapel," said Pat
O'Brian, committee chairman.

"But the chapel committee feels
that compulsory chapel would de-
feat the college's purpose of teach-
ing each student to decide what
is valuable for herself."

Go to the theater. How long has it been since you felt
the excitement of those last few minutes before the curtain
rises? Curtain time is 8:30 at Theater Atlanta, and it goes
up on Eugene O'Neill's genial comedy drama, AH WILDER-
NESS! January 22 through 26.

Due to the immense popularity
of Henrik Ibsen's A Doll's House
evidence was a solidly sold-out
closing week for

The regular pro-
duction, begin-
ning this week, is
' a double bill of
Edward Albees's plays, The Amer-
ican Dream and Fam and Yam.
English majors might enjoy the
open forum that follows Thursday
night performances, when the cast
and audience discuss the plays'
meaning and their relation to the
controversial "Theater of the Ab-
surd."

Or go to a movie. The features
are finally changing! Windjammer
is at Martin's Cinerama and is a
delight for the armchair tourist.
You'll take a "basket" ride down
a cobblestone street in the Maderia
Islands, barely missing water buff-
alo and flower carts, and arriving
joggled and a little ill at the bot-
tom. You'll sit right on the front
of a fire engine as it fies down
the streets of New York, and you'll
hold on for dear life to the hatch
of a submarine as it submerges.
Once you get used to the narra-
tor's voice, you'll have a beautiful

Frederick Displays
Personality, Ability

By SUE KEITH-LUCAS

Miss Pauline Frederick at close
range seems just as efficient and
poised as she seemed from the
lectern Monday night.

Arriving by jet late Monday
afternoon, the NBC news analyst
submitted to a full hour of radio
and television interviews before she
even left the airport.

Though her day had begun with
a 6 a.m. broadcast and a 1 p.m. one
just before she left New York, she
never acted tired in her hurried
trip to Atlanta.

In the unusual position of one of
the very few women in the higher
echelons of broadcasting, Miss
Frederick was constantly asked
about the disadvantages of being
a women in a predominately man's
world.

"The main problem," she said,"
is that a microphone is not kind to
a woman's voice. A low, clear voice
is essential."

"Some people also feel," she
continued, "that a woman's voice
does not carry the authority neces-
sary to reporting of 'hard' news."

The U.N. delegates from coun-
tries where women are not given
equality with men afford no prob-
lem to Miss Frederick.

"Most of the delegates are edu-
cated, liberal people, and some of
the delegations have women mem-
bers. They are just as co-operative
as the members of other delega-
tions."

Miss Frederick seems completely
in control of any situation. In her
description of her job during the
Cuban crisis, the necessity for this
self-control became evident.

"During the crisis," she said,
"I was on the air several hours a
day, constantly on the job, getting
no sleep and grabbing sandwiches
on the run.

"One evening I had to get a
friend to come over to cook me a
steak while I washed my hair in
order to get back to the United Na-
tions on time. Along with a low
voice, you need lots of vitamin pills
for this kind of job."

After her speech with its
emphasis on man in the world sit-
uation, Miss Frederick was asked
about her religious views. Brought
up an orthodox Methodist, she now
finds more meaning in a philosophy
such as that of Dag Hammarskjold,
and is not a member of any reli-
gious sect.

Quoting a passage she particular-
ly likes from Martin Buber, "Love
is a surplus of power with which

sonal qualities that make her in-

Good Games, Attendance Mark
Basketball Season Openers

By MARILYN LITTLE

After due reflection, analysis, debate, research and intro-
spection, it has been officially decided that last Friday's
opener of the Basketball Season was a tremendous success!
Apathetic participation, in either play or spectatorship, was
non-existent.

The stands were full of people,
supporters on one side and the
overflowing teams of the Under-
| classmen on the
\ other. Since even

i were present,
s this is not
without signifi-
cance. This week
the goal is to
empty the Study
Smokers. If this
is successful, maybe the Dorm-ites
will come the next week; and if
this is successful, before the end of
the season we will even get the
Termites out.

At any rate, the quality of play,
though nervous and very rough in
spots, was quite good. Enthusiasm
and hustle was exhibited by all
classes, their close scores being the
best proof of this.

The Sophomores and Juniors
waged a thrilling game, with the
outnumbered upperclassmen win-
ning by a mere (but decisive, it
seems) two points, 30-28.

In the Freshmen- S enior game,
the upperclassmen again grossly
outnumbered, managed to main-
tain a slight lead until the final
minutes.

The never-say-<iie (unfortunate-
ly) Frosh, however pulled ahead,
and the score at the end was
26-25, Madeline's favor.

If these games were any indica-
tion of how the season is going to
be, then it's anybody's guess as to
who will win the championship.

Come out this week to see who
will be in first place for the follow-
ing week (kind of like Queen for
a Day).

Regarding the exercises, we
(Debbie Drake and A. A.) are
emphasizing today LEGS. First,
raise your left leg by bending the
knee while standing on the ball of
the right foot. Think about the
upper part of your right leg. Con-
tract the muscles and hold. Change
feet and repeat. Do this for two
seconds, then four, then six sev-
eral days later. See how EASY it
is? Then try it . . . and next time
we'll have yet another goodie for
you.

Academic, Social Benefits
Impress Junior Transfers

By LIL HARRIS

Despite the transfer-away trend
that occasionally plagues Agnes
Scott, there are still those people
who transfer to the school. Just
why they abandoned another insti-
tution for this one never ceases
to be an eager question.

The three transfer students with
whom interviews were attainable,
Mrs. Gail Weber, Judy Stark, and
Bonnie Wade, volunteer different
reasons for selecting Agnes Scott
as their Alma Mater. They agree
on one point, however that Scott
has fulfilled their expectations.

A native of Decatur, Bonnie
Wade says she feels rights at home
as a boarding student in the Sopho-
more Class. The desire to be closer
to family and friends and to At-
lanta, she adds, influenced her de-
cision to transfer from Converse to
Agnes Scott.

Besides being impressed with the
intensity of academic pursuits, as
she expected, Bonnie also finds the
social life, very stimulating.

At Converse, she says, the girls
often have to travel long distances
for social life, since there are no
men's college's nearby. Here is At-
lanta she finds enough social and
cultural attractions to make it un-
necessary and enough work to
make it unwise to sacrifice all of
every weekend for recreation.

Like Bonnie, Judy Stark, a junior
transferee from Vassar, considers
the urban proximity of Scott a real
advantage.

She is especially glad to be back
in the Southland, as this was her
main reason for transferring. Now,
she says, it's not out of the ques-
tion to go home to Jacksonville,
(Florida) for a weekend. Spending
a week here last spring quarter
confirmed her choice.

Amazed at the friendliness of the
student body, she is delighted to be
at Scott.

Judy has also noticed the unusu-
ally close relationship among the
administration, faculty, and stu-
dents. At first she attributed it to
the school's small size, butl ater de-
cided it results from the basically
warm atmosphere that the ideals
here promote.

As a day student, Mrs. Gail
Weber has had a slightly more
limited contact with the social
aspects of Scott. Her opinion, of
the academic life, however, has be-
come very concrete in one quarter.
She says she has never worked
harder in her life!

Mrs. Weber graduated in 1960
from Centenary Junior College,
which is in Hackettstown, N.J.

Then she and her husband spent
two years in Iran, where he taught
economics and physics in a college
for Iranian boys.

At the same time she worked as
a secretary in an oil company.

While her husband teaches at
Emory and completes his M.A.,
Mrs. Weber plans to finish her last
two years of college here as a
history major.

She happened to select Agnes
Scott because it was so highly
recommended by an alumna she
met while in Iran; and after visit-
ing the school she found all its
recommendations justifiable.

Originally from Trenton, N.J.,
Mrs. Weber enjoys being near the
city of Atlanta, as do Bonnie and
Judy. But so far, she says, she has
been so busy studying that she
really hasn't had a chance to ex-
plore the charms of Atlanta!

It has flourished through the centuries because

(Continued from Page 2)

great powers of the world are
facing each other directly. No-
thing can be gained by U.N. inter-
vention until the U.S. and Russia
are able to negotiate on a more
direct basis.

Being a friend of former Secre-
tary-General of the United Nations
Dag Hammarskjold, Miss Fred-
erick was able to discuss the com-
parison of present Secretary- Gen-
eral U Thant with the late Ham-
marskjold with personal emotion.

The present holder of the posi-
tion, Miss Frederick says, is much
freer with reporters and is in many
ways much easier to talk with.
U Thant was at one time a journal-
ist and therefore understands the
difficulties of that profession.
Hammarskjold, on the other hand,
was principally a diplomat and
lacked the "frankness and blunt-
ness" of U Thant.

During the last two years of his
life, the official killed in a plane
crash in 1961 became almost a
mystic and displayed many char-
acteristics which were ahead of
his time.

Hammarskjold, Miss Frederick
feels, will eventually be recog-
nized as "one of the greatest men
of our century."

Committee To Visit,
Evaluate Self Study

The visiting committee for the
evaluation of Scott's Self-Study
program will arrive on campus
February 24 and remain through
February 27.

The five members of the com-
mittee are Dr. William F. Quillian,
president of Randolph-Macon; Dean
John Hubbard of Newcomb Col-
lege, Tulane University; James
Serves, librarian of the College of
William and Mary; Dean Sara Hen-
ley of University of Alabama; and
Dean Marguerite Roberts of the
University of Richmond's West-
hampton College.

The purpose of the visiting com-
mittee is to evaluate, with com-
pletely objective eyes, the results
of our self-study. To this end, the
members will meet with repre-
sentatives of the faculty, admini-
stration and student body.

The visit of this committee will
be the culmination of an effort, ex-
tending through three years, to
make a comprehensive appraisal of
the school. The visiting commit-
tee's investigation will be the final
stage of the study to which the
faculty, administration, alumnae
and students of Agnes Scott have
already contributed. (Remember
those almost-endless question-
al res?)

The information gathered and
evaluated by the committees of
the Self-Study Program has now
been compiled and will be sub-
mitted to the members of the visit-
ing committee before arrival here.

The compilation is in two parts:
a narrative summation of condi-
tions, evaluations; and an appendix
tabulating all reactions to the
various questionaires used. It will
be available to the student body
for help in making plans or to
satisfy curiosity.

In addition, The News plans to
print a series on the findings of
the Self-Study program.

Nets $1,617;
To Charities

By SUSAN KEITH-LUCAS

Junior Jaunt weekend this year
topped its goal of $1,600 with total
proceeds of $1,617.11 to be given
to charities.

The money will go to three
organizations selected by the stu-
dent body. After overhead is sub-
tracted, each group will receive
over $500. The Plantation Home,
World University service and The
Children's Medical Fund were
chosen.

In the class competitions, the
sophomores collected the most
money with their Club 65, Beauty
parlor, dart throw and ring-a-leg,
raising $219.74.

The freshmen came in second
with $147.00 collected from their
fishing, golf course, and
booths.

The juniors collected $94.49 while
the seniors made a profit of $113.-
17.

Suppressed Desires Day, where
a great many desires became un-
suppressed, was also extremely
profitable with $526.75 being col-
lected for the privileges of wear-
ing sports clothes to class, yelling
in the library, riding the faculty
elevator and other usually out-law-
ed activities.

Though slavery was abolished
many years ago, the faculty did
their part in the fund-raising by
selling themselves to students for
the day.

pensive slave, going for 74.90 while
Miss Gary sold for $30.07, Dr.

Blackfriars Hold Technical Tryouts;
Kollock, Webb To Visit With Group

By ANN DANIEL

Winter quarter is thought by
many to be Blackfriars "inactive"
quarter. A glance, however, at the
group's schedule of activities for
the period from January to March
of 1963 shows that, although Black-
friars does not produce a play, the
campus is not void of theatre
activity during this period.

On January 22 Blackfriars held
technical tryouts for those interest-
ed in becoming members. The girls
who were chosen to become "Try-
outs" will each put in 15 hours of
work during the next two months.

To aid in their understanding
of the technical field of drama,
workshops in the various areas
such as lighting, costumes and
make-up are being considered.

Among the "Tryouts" who hope
to receive invitations for member-
ship in Blackfriars at the end of
the quarter are: Alice Airth, Lee
Allums, Nancy Bruce, Malie Bur-
ton, Molly Dominy, Laura Dorsey,
Ann Felker, Jeanne Ficquette,
Bunny Foster, Molly Gehan, Mary
Jane Gilchrist, Pamela Gilbreath,
Susan Goode, Patsy Graham, Jane
Greenfield, Mary Gunnison and
Dot Hampton.

Completing the list of "Tryouts"
for this quarter are Margarine
Hendrichs, Harriet Holt, Jean Jar-
rett, Connie Magee, Carol Mc-
Donald, Emily McNorton, Martha
Montmeat, Julia Murry, Sonja Nel-
son, Lilla Peoples, Margaret Pey-
ton, Suzanne Scoggins, Jan Smoot
and Melinda Snow.

In addition to activities within
the group, Blackfriars is going to
have two meetings which should be
of general campus interest. The
dates are tentative so far and will
be announced definitely in the
future.

The first meeting will be held in
the Speech Studio at 8 p.m. on
either February 5 or 6. At this time
Mr. John Kollock of Theatre At-
lanta will discuss and demonstrate
many of the varied techniques help-
ful in stage make-up.

As a special treat after the
demonstration, club members will
make themselves up as famous
theatrical protagonists under the
supervision of Mr. Kollock.

Anyone who may have future
dealings with drama (and these
may come in the form of school
plays, scout troop plays or com-
munity playhouses) should take
advantage of the chance to get

some excellent inside information
on make-up.

The second meeting which Black-
friars is opening to the campus will
be at 7:30 p.m. in the Speech
Studio on either February 20 or 21.
Interest in children's drama has
been greatly increasing in the past
few years and Blackfriars has in-
vited Mrs. Neva Webb to discuss
the subject of "Creative Drama
with the Child."

Those interested in either of the
fields of education or psychology
should find this program especial-
ly interesting.

Incidentally, upperclassmen may
remember Mrs. Webb as the slight-
ly insane, but most perceptive
grandmother in The House of
Benvarda Alba, Blackfriars' pro-
duction for the fall of 1961.

For those who frequent the read-
ing room in the Hub, or perhaps as
an incentive for those who do not,
Blackfriars is now adding to the
collection' of publications available
to the students.

Council Considers
Revised Legislation

Amid the hustle and bustle of
inventing ways to get more Scotties
into circulation, the members of
Social Council have given serious
consideration to the method of
legislating the dress policy.

At present proposed changes of
this policy go directly from the
council to the Dean of Students
who has the final word.

Under the new system, rules
formulated in Social Council will
be sent to Representative Council
for approval by the rules commit-
tee before going on to the admin>
stration for endorsement.

Social Council members feel that
this revision of legislation will
strengthen the dress policy since
it will give the representatives of
the student body an opportunity to
discuss and revise any proposed
rules before they go into effect.'

Plans are in the making for a
party in the Hub that will give
students a chance to talk to the
officers of Social Council, ask
questions, and offer suggestions.

Artist Dickinson Sees Painting
As Finest Mode of Expression

By CAROL FRAZER

For the past three months one of the best known artists in
the country has been on and around the Agnes Scott campus.
Twenty-eight years ago Sidney Dickinson, resident of Pleas-
antville, New York, came to Agnes Scott to paint the portrait
of Dr. James Ross McCain, president of the school at that
time.

Back in Decatur once more, Mr.
Dickinson has returned to do por- 1
traits of Dr. and Mrs. Wallace,
Alston, Mr. and Mrs. Hal Smith,
and Dr. Martin, past president of
Emory University.

Mr. Dickinson, a cousin of Emily
Dickinson, is from a family of
writers and describes himself as
being of the same line. He also
claims Indian ancestory through
Otstoch, a woman of the Mohawk
tribe. Whatever his family back-
ground, Mr. Dickinson has estab-
lished himself as an unusual in-
dividual as well as an artist in
his own right.

Along with artistic interests, Mr.
Dickinson displays an intense in-
terest in the people he has met
throughout his diverse lifetime.

Quite a sports fan, he stated that
he "was not the worst athlete
that's ever been,"; and he counts
among his friends several men out-
standing in the sports field.

Interested also in music he
names "every member of the Phil-
harmonic" as his friend. Yet in
spite of this diverse appreciation
of other fields, Mr. Dickinson feels
"that painting is the greatest mode
of expression".

Mr. Dickinson discussed at length
his admiration for the people he
has painted here. His main con-
cern was not wth the painting but
with the individuals; and he re-
marked that he "adored being with
these people."

No less was his admiration for

Sidney Dickinson paints Mr.
Warren in an art class potrait
demonstration.

Mr. Ferdinand Warren, professor
of art, whom he regards as "a
great artist of our times."

The remarks that most reveal
the personality and drives of Mr.
Dickinson are those concerning his
art. He stated that he has lived his
life in the idea of Keats' words,
"beauty is truth, truth beauty."

He regards painting as "the
finest means of communication in
the world. It beats words." Want-
ing "only the best; only the top,"
Mr. Dickinson says that "if I didn't
feel that way I'd have gone into
something else."

From a life "pledged to painting
since the age of four years" Mr.
Sidney Dickinson has established
himself as the finest portrait paint-
er in our times as well as an in-
teresting and interested individual.

Winter Of Discontent?

A challenge was issued to the youth of America. It was in
the form of an accusation: that we are soft, taking for granted
the little luxuries that, through constant use, now seem so
necessary not necessary for comfortable
existence, but essential just to maintain an
existence.

If the present "winter quarter'' spirit of
Agnes Scott campus is any indication, this
accusation is more than valid.

Objectivity and an appreciation for
being able to pursue an individual goal
for happiness seem to be lost beneath
petty complaints. The majority of the time,
le solutions to "great and pressing" problems lie solely
within the individual.

How many of us have set ourselves up as self-imposed
censors? Yet, who among us is willing to accept the "awe-
some" possibility that malcontent might lie in personal short-
comings?

It has become quite common to hear such imbicilic phrases
as "I can't possibly muster up enough brain power to study
on the food I have to eat" or "If I can't smoke in a class-
room, I can't possibly concentrate."

The only answer, of course, is to quit eating and give up
all hope of concentration. Then, of course, everything will
be just dandy.

If, in truth, wisdom does come "out of the mouths of babes,"
then Agnes Scott can boast of one of the largest collections
of "wise babies" around. And that, children, is the impressive
atmosphere being displayed.

Personally, we hope it changes in the near future. The
diaper and pablum supplies are running low and someone
is sure to complain. C.F.

Le Bruit Anonyme

During the past week a small mimeographed sheet bearing
the name of Bruit appeared in the mailroom. Seemingly this
sh eet was des igned as the beginning of competition for
The News.

After we had noticed this little sheet we
ialso noticed a supreme reticence on the part
of others to ask us about our opinions of
this "competition." When questions were
raised, even the closest of friends almost
visibly ducked, apparently expecting a
barrage of criticism and derogatory state-
ments in general.

Yet this is not the case. The News as a
whole always welcomes criticism and constructive think-
ing on campus. We have always aspired to be the organ
for the airing of various opinions on campus and eagerly
welcome Letters to the Editor. All letters are carefully read
and, if signed and of worthwhile note, are published in
The News.

In the same manner we also welcome competition, for we
feel that such competition is highly conducive to progress
and thinking on campus. As the main organ of student in-
formation on campus we need constantly to be spurred and
enthusiastic about the activities and even gripes among the
students. This Bruit had indeed suprred us forward in mind.

Yet one thing about this attempt at competition bothers us
considerably. All of the articles are anonymous. Indeed, the
entire procedure is anonymous. We feel that anyone who has
confidence in what they are saying should be willing to
stand behind their opinions.

In each issue of the News there appears a masthead of
the members of the staff. If room is not available for the
entire listing of names, then at least the editors' names
appear. A mailbox in the mailroom is reserved expressly
for mail for the News and assistants in the mailroom
willingly place any mail for us in this box.

The members of the Bruit, whoever they may be, remain
anonymous; the entire formation of the sheet remains anony-
mous. Anvone who disagrees with the sarcasm apparent
in the paper has no outlet through which to voice his opin-
ion except to small groups of friends.

In the Guide to Reporters which the News has printed
to present to new members of the staff and to which the
regular staff refers frequently aonears the "nrimarv iourml-
iStk law: A NEWSPAPER IS RESPONSIBLE EOR EVERY-
THING IT PRINTS"

We welcome this new addition to the cammis printed
page, but we sincerely feel that if this sheet ever appears
aeain that it should be as a legitimate paper, not as an
attempt at a "scandal sheet." N.B.

Internationally Speaking

Delegate Defends De Gaulle
In Position on Britain, Arms

By GUEST COLUMNIST FROU CALHOUN

Member of the French Delegation to the
Mock United Nations General Assembly

In December of 1958, Charles De Gaulle was elected to the
Presidency of the French Republic. Setting forth his "policy
of grandeur," he expressed a drive for diplomatic autonomy
for a France restored to its rank of power with world re-
sponsibility.

Britain and

This desire for greatness
accounts for De
Gaulle's 1958 re-
quest for a three
nation director-
ate (England,
U.S. and France)
controlling poli-
cies of the Atlan-
tic Alliance
throughout the
world.

America's half-
hearted response to this plan
explained his refusal to act as a
fully integrated NATO member,
his determination to act inde-
pendently in exploding France's
first A-bomb, and his backing
of Little Europe and the Paris-
Bonn axis.

Last week De Gaulle, standing
firm on his policy, steadfastly re-
fused to fulfill French commit-
ments to NATO and to join in the
formation of a NATO controlled
nuclear force: he is determined
to build his own. At the same time
he voted not to admit Britain to
the Common Market.

We, the French people, resent
Britain's behavior since World
War n. There has been only super-
ficial solidarity with France, and
Britain has sought salvation pure-
ly in terms of her alliance with
the U.S. She refused to join the
European Coal and Steel Com-
munity and haughtily rejected ad-
mission to the European Defense
Community while urging us to
do so.

Britain dismissed the Com-
mon Market until it was shown
to work. Finally, when the Suez
crisis demonstrated the futility
of total dependence upon the
U.S. and a need for closer re-
lationships with the rest of
Western Europe, MacMillan re-
established a close tie with the
U.S.

De Gaulle has seen fresh evi-
dence in the Nassau agreement
that Britain is wedded to the U.S.
Britain's admission to the Com-
mon Market would increase U.S.

influence on France as well as the
rest of the Market members. But
what we want is a great Europe
and the diminished greatness of
the U.S.

De Gaulle recently signed a
treaty of co-operation with West
Gemany and regards this recon-
ciliation of divergent interests as
the crowning achievement of his
political career. Germany and
France, he says, can lead the for-
mation of a united Western
Europe strong enough to with-
stand the Soviets.

At Adenauer's appeal De
Gaulle agreed to a temporary
stay of action to let the Com-
mon Market Executive Commit-
tee review the whole question
of Britain's application for
membership. But De Gaulle
stands so firmly by his "policy of
grandeur" that he is not likely
to permit Britain's entry.
And why should our country not
be able to block Britain and to
push its own nuclear button when
we think it necessary? The United
States is now the leading western
power. However, that does not
mean that she has to control
France and the Western European
continent, too.

a lot about 'Winter
"Sophomore Slump"
and "apathy."
Yet there was no
sign of this dread
trio this week as
people joined in
the fun of Junior
Jaunt. Maybe
"laughter is the
best medicine"
after all!

But let us not forget that the
fun and laughs were made possi-
ble by the wonderful sense of
humor and sportsmanship
shown by the faculty and ad-
ministration. They were the
most fun of all and the
biggest hand goes to them.

Take the slave sale for instance.
People laughed for four hours at
exhibitions of the twist, stories
and songs of college days and
jokes and "slapstick" comedy.

Friday morning in But trick
there was something mighty fun-
ny going on. Laughter was heard
from behind every door and occa-
sional bursts echoed through the
whole building. There was lots of
fun mixed with learning on Sup-
pressed Desires Day.

"Sense of Humor" was the
word for the day as the faculty
and administration joked and
laughed in class, wore J. S.
Bach sweatshirts and Cub Scout
hats, roared at takeoffs of
themselves and others in Chapel,
came to the Hub in pairs and
cheerfully gave up their dining
hall to students.

Largely because of all this,
much was gained by Junior Jaunt.
Not only was money raised for
worthy charities, but we all did
something together and laughed
the whole time we were doing it.

So let's give ourselves a great
big hand! First, because we all
have a sense of humor and can
enjoy ourselves and each other.

Secondly, because we can take
on a project as a group and put
everything we have toward reach-
ing a goal.

Thirdly, and maybe most Im-
portant in the long run, because
we have learned that apathy,
depression and unhappiness can
best be cured by a good dose of
laughter and fun. And it's the
easiest medicine of all to take.

Promise Change Of Pace

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

What comes but once a week, 'tho' always there are
three, and pass so fast they never last whatever can they
be? Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, of course! What to do
with them? Plenty!!

Take Friday. What's it for? It's
for curing the doldrums brought
jon by five days
of concentrated
(!) study! You
need a change of
! scenery an in-
I ternational eve-
I ning. Have din
ner at CARU-
SO'S no din-
W ing hall for you!
All new, it's here just as it came
from Italy. Arcades outside, and
as it must be red booths and
checked tablecloths inside. The
pizza isn't greasy, and the wine
list is fun to read!

To the other side of the
world, now, for dancing to the
Bossa Nova beat at the EL
MOROCCO. This is for real, the
kind of place you'd find if you
took a trip to Latin America.
Not flashy, not loud, if s got
its own kind of class. Let your-
self go with the music of the
Latin American band. (If you're
really gung ho, Mary Ann Greg-
ory is giving lessons in Bossa
Nova in her "Alcoba" on 2nd
Walters.)

Pooped ... but must carry on 7 Snap
right back and keep going! Take Verv*
continuous action alertness capsules.
Effective, safe, not habit-forming.

Saturday is another sort of day.
While the cold weather lasts, get
a group and head for Highlands,
N. C. (only 3 hours away), where
the lakes are frozen and the
skating's good. You can eat lunch
with the mountain folks at Talley's
Sandwich Shop and rent your
skates there for 50 cents an hour.

At night a lake front house has
its floods on the ice and the
Skaters' Waltz on the stereo. A
bonfire will be burning somewhere.
When you're tired of skating, drive
around and look at the falls,
beautifully frozen. (If you can't
stay the night you can easily
make the trip in a day and have
ample time to skate until your
ankles fold.)

Last and best comes Sunday.
Time for a quiet, talky evening.
Time for dinner at the RED
BARN which really is a con-
verted barn, by the way. The
stalls were left, and you'll have
one all to yourself. Over your
head you'll see a plaque bearing
the name of the horse who was
there before you. At one end of
the room an open fire crackles
cozily what better music to
match your mood? Big salads
and thick steaks will put the
finishing touches on your feel-
ing of well-being.

If you feel like a stroll after
dinner, take one down Peachtree
and window shop. If you find your-
self in front of the BROWSE
SHOP, go in and browse awhile.
You can play the records and read
the books, and you don't HAVE to
buy anything. Good way to warm
.'.p. Walk down by the airline
offices, look at all the travel pos-
ters and dream a bit.

Then WHOP! Back to Scott!
It's Monday morning, 8:30 A.M.
"They pass so fast they never
last" . . . but they DO come once
a week! See you 'ROUN TOWN?

library steps

The minutes are ticking off to-
ward 7 pjn., the starting hour
for the race. The racers are
jockeying for position .Here comes
the starter (the librarian with
her precious library key in hand).

The racers are
flexing their
muscles and
checking their
shoes. (Which
are tennis shoes
by the way
weejuns would
never make the
dangerous run
down those steps to the Reserve
Room).

At 6:55 p.m., threats are
heard. "If I get to that shelf
and there are no more Under-
standing the Old Testament
books by Anderson some fur
will be flying around here,"
comments one scholar emphati-
cally.

"Well, four of us will lose out,
as there are ten students out here
waiting to get their hands on the
Anderson book and there are
only six copdes!"

The starter is now unlocking
the library door. They're off! (In-
cidently there is nothing left of
the librarian who was trampled
by the students.)

With a great thundering of
feet the racers round the first
turn and start the dangerous,
dark descent to the Reserve
Room. (She who dares to waft
for the lights to be turned on
will never even see that reserve
book.)

Two of the starters have now
been forced to drop out because
they stumbled on the dark steps
and ran into tables in the pitch
black Reserve Room.

The racers are approaching the
finish-line (the Bible Reserve
shelf). The race is over now
this time there were only four
winners it seems that two day
students ran and won their own
race at 4:30 that afternoon.
At this point, dear readers,
you are probably labeling the
above race ridiculous. I have
been forced to run in the above
race myself (quite fortunately,
I won) and it is ridiculous
but if you are taking a basic
Bible course this quarter you
will be in the races yourself (un-
less you wish to leave the test
questions on outside reading
blank).

There are six sections of the
basic Bible course. Each section
has a minimum of twenty stu-
dents and each student has on

her list of required outside read-
ing, Anderson's Understanding the
Old Testament. On the reserve
shelf in the library are six (count
them if you can find them) copies
of this book. According to mathe-
matical calculation, this leaves
twenty students for each copy.

Might we add that there are
actually more students demanding
this book we are using the
minimum number of students en-
rolled in the basic Bible course
and are not counting those stu-
dents taking an advanced Bible
course which might require this
same book for outside reading.
Reserve books are available for
student use in the library 65 Ms
hours a week. This would mean
that each of those 120 Bible stu-
dents would have three hours and
ten minutes a week to read this
book.

Now this figure seems reason-
able especially if we add more
hours to this if the student is
swift of foot or has a day
student friend who can check
this book out overnight. (Or if
the student is related to the
Rockefeller millions and can
afford to pay the fine and keep
the book out all day).
This figure of three hours plus
is not reasonable if we remember
that students' study schedules
overlap and they do have to pre-
pare for other courses.

This problem is not just con-
fined to Bible students history
and English students often have
the same trouble.

Students at Agnes Scott are
proud of their library. It has a
wonderful collection of books
and an efficient staff that
strives to help students in every
way possible. It seems that the
library staff did not anticipate
the large numbers of students
that would be assigned to read
the same book for outside read-
ing.

There is a shortage of some re-
serve books and there are too
many students being forced to
read these same books. Might this
columnist suggest that more books
such as Anderson's Understanding
the Old Testament be purchased
and that professors who require
outside reading provide substitute
books so that this supply and de-
mand problem can be solved.

In the meantime this columnist
would like to wish the racers who
will line up on the library steps
tonight the best of luck, and she
would like to urge better sports-
manship tonight please don't
trample the librarian!

AA Provides Adequate Release
For Winter Quarter Discontent

By MARILYN LITTLE

Winter Quarter is a time of overwhelming academic en-
deavor, a time of trials (Judicial and others) and tribulations.

It is a period when one's room-
mate on one's acquaintance down
the hall seems suddenly obnoxious,
when one's professors become even
more predatory.

It is a season
of unpleasant
cold or raininess
(or both), and of
an unnatural
amount of dis-
satisfaction with
self and with
others. It is tru-
ly "a winter of
discontent."
Bearing this gloomy reality in
mind continuously would drive
most of us out of our heads (or,
even worse, into the stacks).

Therefore, it is with extreme
generosity and forethought that
the Athletic Association of Agnes
Scott provides adequate releases
from, or expressions for, our
tragic depths of despondency.

Every week you may slink de-
jectedly (as usual) down to the
gym and come out an hour or so
later with "wings on your wee-
juns" and light in your heart.

A good example of this rehabili-
tation occurred in last Friday's
games.

What junior or sophomore left
the gym with renewed faith in her
friends in the Goddess of Luck?

And what freshman or senior
left without new resolutions of
improvement and 'fight-back-
ism?"

It is simply amazing what a
good basketball game can do for
you. No one need take Compoz or
NoDoz ever again.

At games, troubled spirits will
be soothed, and tired minds will
be invigorated, and both will be
done naturally.

So don't settle for artificial or
synthetic imitations of life, get
the real thing Go to this Fri-
day's Game!

And to tone calf and thigh
muscles: Lie on your back, and
pull knees to the chest.

Extend the right leg up, with
heel leading, until hips are slight-
ly raised.

Bend right knee again, at same
time raising left leg.

Keep both legs constantly in
motion, bending and stretching.

Do this six times. Rest, if you
haven't already.

Repeat six more times. C'est
tout.

involvement, can easily provide a
couple of hours of very enjoyable
and informative reading when the
sight of a textbook becomes a bit
unbearable.

Although busy with these winter
quarter projects, Blackfriars is also
looking ahead to spring quarter.

A committee composed of Miss
Winter, Mr. Singdahlsen, Brownie
Faucette, Dot Laird and Stokie
Cuniming has been active since
Thanksgiving trying to select an
appropriate play for the spring pro-
duction.

They are looking for a light
comedy, worthy of a college drama
group, with only a few men in the
cast and would welcome sugges-
tions of any plays with which you
are familiar which fit the require-
ments!

The committee hopes to be able
to announce its selection in the
very near future.

Campus Holds
Charity Drive

By SUSAN KEITH-LUCAS

Beginning with the slave sale
Thursday night, the Agnes Scott
campus became a strange world for
the weekend as professors obeyed
students, were called by their first
names, submitted to pop quizzes,
were mimicked in a chapel pro-
gram and were even put in 'jail'
by their students.

All for charity, Junior Jaunt
weekend began with a slave sale,
where, with the prodding of
auctioneers Mariane Wurst, Mary
Hamp Lowry, and Lelia Jones, pro-
fessors were made to show their
abilities as twisters, reciters, story
tellers, and singers before students
would buy the privilege of being
their masters on Friday.

Friday was Suppressed Desires
Day and found, along with the
usual rule changes, angels in
faculty offices, professors given
some of their own medicine in the
form of pop quizzes, Dean Kline be-
ing "pinned" as sweetheart of a
cottage, and all sorts of strange
attire being worn.

In chapel, the faculty were re-
minded of their own school days as
they were portrayed as first
graders.

On Saturday, the first floor
of Rebekah swarmed with students,
dates, and faculty trying their skill
at the various booths, watching
productions, and consuming all
varieties of food being sold by the
four classes.

The Jesters, a University of
South Carolina singing group, also
added to the entertainment with
folk songs after the carnival.

Winding up with a record dance,
the weekend came to a close, and
by Sunday morning the campus
was back to normal, but three
charities were $1600 richer.

By STOKIE CUMMING

In his essay, "The Foundation
and Pattern of Christian Be-
havior," Dr. Lehmann wrestles
with the nature and context of
Christian ethics.

Christian ethics is not, he says, a
matter of mere speculation, about
which one could say "various in-
teresting or uninteresting things."
Rather, it is "an actual and urgent
question of affecting what, in fact,
Christians are doing in the world."

As a part of theology, it is that
which seeks to define the presup-
positions and criteria of Christian
conduct. It is this view of the na-
ture of Christian ethics which is
basic to the rest of his discus-
sion.

If we agree to this, can we then
agree upon the context of Christian
ethics? For example, Dr. Lehmann
brings up a question which touches
the belief of a great many Chris-
tians: Is Christian ethics identical
with New Testament ethics?

For many of those Christians
who hold firmly to this identity,
the problem seems greatly simpli-
fied.

The "ambiguity and complexity"
in each particular situation can be
overlooked by the man who gleans
from a New Testament passage
the absolute terms of what he is
to do in that situation. Of course,
the central such passages are the
Sermon on the Mount and the
other teachings of Jesus.

However, when Christian ethics
as a theological discipline examines
both the scripture and the man in
his concrete situation, it finds that
Jesus' teachings "are not so simply
and purely accessible to knowl-
edge."

Man lacks the single-minde&ness
to hold, on his own, to the teach-
ings as merely a set of laws. Dr.
Lehmann points out that even the
early Church had difficulty "mov-
ing from the New Testament pre-
suppositions and criteria of Chris-
tian behavior into an ethical situa-
tion dominated by oriental asceti-
cism and the Hellenic vision of
the excellence of the soul uncoor-
rupted by sensory involvement."

A fruitful probe into the content
of Christian ethics is, then, one
which takes into account both the
presuppositions and actualities of
Christian behavior. Will we find Dr.
Lehmann's approach satisfactory?

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.

DR. PAUL LEHMANN

Annual Scott R. E. Week
To Feature Dr. Lehmann

By LIL HARRIS

From February 11-15 the campus
will welcome Dr. Paul Lehmann
as speaker for Religious Emphasis
Week.

Besides his contributions to
Christian literature, Dr. Lehmann's
career includes wide experience in
the field of education, both as a
student and as a teacher.

He received his B. A. degree and
a B. S. in education from Ohio
State University and his Th. D.
from Union Theological Seminary
in New York City where he is
now teaching in the field of sys-
tematic theology.

Several other colleges have
bestowed honorary degrees upon
Dr. Lehmann.

In the past our speaker has
taught at Wellesley College,
Princeton Theological Seminary,
where he was director of graduate
studies and at the Harvard Di-
vinity School.

The topic selected for Religious
Emphasis Week is "Rethinking the
Conscience."

The initial event will be a stu-
dent-conducted chapel Monday
morning, February 11.

That night at 8 p.m. a worship
service in Gaines has been planned
when Dr. Lehmann will speak on
"Doing What is Good." Follow-
ing the service there will be a
reception in Rebekah.

In chapel on Tuesday the sub-
ject of Dr. Lehmann's talk is "The
Decline and Fall of Conscience."

Then at 12:30 the day students
will have a chance to engage him
in an informal discussion during a
luncheon in Walters Recreation
Room.

For Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday afternoons a time from
3:00-4:40 has been set aside for
Dr. Lehmann to hold personal con-
ferences with students. Anyone in-
terested is invited to sign up at
the Hostess desk in Buttrick.

At five on Tuesday Dr. Leh-
mann will conduct a "Freshman

Fireside"; at the same time on
Wednesday he plans to lecture to
the marriage class about "The
Risks of Belonging."

The Rebekah Recreation Room
will be the location for informal
discussions from 9:30-10:30 on
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
nights.

Dr. Lehmann plans to give
several other talks during the
week: for convocation his subject
will concern "Conscience in Search
of a Context," and for Thursday
chapel he will speak about "Where
Christians Begin."

On Thursday night at 7:30 Dr.
Lehmann will spend an evening
with the faculty in Dr. Alston's
home.

Then on Friday morning he will
address the student body on the
subject of "What God is Doing in
the World."

As the climax of the week there
will be a communion and dedica-
tion service in Maclean at 7 on
Friday night. With Dr. Alston
assisting in the communion service,
Dr. Lehmann's topic for the serv-
ice will be "Remember Who You
Are!"

As the number of events for the
week indicate, there has been a
brigade of students working behind
the scenes.

The Chairman of Religious
Emphasis Week is Linda Plemons,
and secretary for the committee is
Doris Poliakoff.

Martha McNair is in charge of
arranging personal conferences, and
Barbara Brown is the person to
contact if a group would like to
have lunch or dinner with Dr. Leh-
mann.

Starting Thursday, February 7,
there will be an art exhibit in
Rebekah Reception Room.

As an added attraction of Re-
ligious Emphasis Week, religious
art works by Margaret Riggs, art
editor of "Motive," a publication
of the Methodist Church. Every-
one is urged to attend the exhibi-
tion.

All of the prints are for sale
at prices ranging from $2.50 to
$5.50.

In a letter to Mr. Warren, head
of the ASC Art Department, Mr.
Crumbo explains that he has priced
his prints within the range of stu-
dent budgets so that they may have
a chance to become acquainted
with Indian art.

He also hopes that this will en-
courage students to start an art
collection of their own.

Ideal Made Real?

The "Agnes Scott Honor system" is a grand and lofty ideal
under which we all live. But does it work?

Most of us would answer this question with an emphatic
u Yes." Yet, there are many areas of our com-
munity life which are utterly devoid of this
so-called "honor."

Take for instance the reserve room of the
library. Yes, there are some of us who, a
bit too eager for knowledge, would literally
hide that certain book which is needed by
many others in order to pass a quiz!
Does this shock you? It should. To many
of us, the "academic honor" at Agnes Scott
is terribly important and- until now, seemed to be the strong-
est type of "honor" here.

Most of us have, at some time, been tempted to take a
drink or to visit an apartment, but few of us ever seriously
considered taking a reserve book without signing for it! Evi-
dently, there are a few of those academic misfits on this
campus.

For example, in a check of books up to the 300 level, the
library has found that 48 copies are missing. When the check
is completed the number will undoubtedly be doubled.

Where are these books? Who has them? How many stu-
dents have been affected by their loss? No one knows.

But it is depressing to think that many students might
have been the victims of their own classmates' dishonesty,
isn't it?

We might blame this matter on the Winter Quarter with
its depressing weather and demanding work, but this and
many other problems have been present throughout the
year. They only seem to have become amplified recently.

Meanwhile, across Buttrick Drive, the "Hub-ites" are
plagued by additional burdens.

On rainy days umbrellas mysteriously disappear from the
Hub and re-appear in Buttrick or the dining hall. The owners
are usually left to get drenched while their umbrellas are
protecting the "borrowers."

The Hub has become a dangerous place to leave any-
thing, including cigarettes. Most people do buy their own,
but there are still "those few" who are not above "borrow-
ing" a pack every now and then.

These examples may seem petty when contrasted to that
of the library books, but, in my opinion, they are just as
meaningful. They seem to be evidence of the general atmos-
phere of laxity on campus.

How can we honestly say that the Honor System really
works when we see evidence of laxity every day? Isn't
personal honor a necessary quality in order to make an
Honor System successful? M.L.L.

Internationally Speaking

British Delegate Blasts France
For Action In Common Market

By GUEST COLUMNIST MARGARET VAN DEMAN

Member of British Delegation to the Mock U. N.

Charles De Gaulle's recent action in Brussels has made
all observers of the international scene draw back and take
notice.

His nationalistic desires for a
strong France have been evident
for some time, but his influence
in the European
Economic Com-
munity (EEC)
has shown itself
most powerfully
in last week's
decision to reject
Britain's bid for
membership in
the Common
Market.

time that we can all
either look for-
ward to, or look
back on, or look
around in. So
now. just a few
days before
H Sophomore Par-
ents' Weekend,
JE * e *' 8 do just
that.
Sophomore year comes at a
time when you've come too far
to quit and not gone quite far
enough to have the end in sight.
It's a time when everyone says
they're going to transfer but
fortunately not everyone does
(witness the Juniors and Seniors).

It's a year of work and wonder-
ful times, fun and frustration,
doubts and dates, panic, parties,
problems, papers, pins and any-
thing else you might think of.
It's a year of getting all or
most of the required subjects

under your belt and of choosing
the major thafs just right for
you.

It's a year of talking and study-
ing until the wee hours, and a year
filled with much needed after-
noon naps.

It's fortunately the only year
when you might have five papers
and five quizzes in one week.

Ifs the only year which finds
someone newly pinned every
weekend, and it's the only year
that has a special weekend
planned just for you and your
parents.

It's a year of making big de-
cisions about the trivial and im-
portant; a year of searching and
finding.

So have a lot of fun this week-
end! The rest of us will enjoy
looking back or forward to our
Sophomore Parents' Weekend, just
as we enjoy looking back or for-
ward to our Sophomore year.

Election Dilemma

The spring elections have always been one of Agnes
Scott's biggest problems. From this time of year until the
elections are over a total silence accompanies the can-
didates and those who are going to vote.

Granted that no one wants posters, cam-
paign speeches, or campus political parties,
but we have gone to the other extreme: we
have silent nominees, unquestioning voters
and absolutely uncommitted upperclassmen
Instead of relying on their personal quali-
fications for the major offices, the junior
nominees often must rely solely on their
popularity. To receive an office a sophomore
: must usually have gotten "in" with the
upperclassmen.
The girls who receive a nomination are embarrassed to be
seen in the mailroom checking their competition, and are
very reluctant to discuss the office with even their closest
friends. This kind of humility is deadly to any election.
The nominees are not the only students at fault in the
elections, however. The whole student body shows an amaz-
ing nonchalance about the matter. Last spring's interview
with the candidates was a grand failure. Forty nominees
gathered in the Hub and after having stood around with the
other candidates for an hour, admitted the unconcern of the
student body and left.

The failure on the part of the upperclassmen to orient the
freshmen to the importance of elections is another factor
in Scott's election week dilemma. Many freshmen are not
aware that we have four boards, let alone know the individ-
ual candidates and the demands of the jobs well enough to
vote intelligently.

The upperclassmen could alleviate freshman bewilderment
by describing the offices to the girls with whom they live,
and by not being reluctant to strongly recommend particular
candidates. An unbiased description of the major offices
could be the subject of a class or house meeting for the
freshmen.

An informal get-together with the candidates m the Hub
should be tried once more, and hopefully the students will
avail themselves of this opportunity to talk with the nomi-
nees concerning their attitudes toward the offices they may
hold. t
Last week the ground hog promised us six more weeks
of winter, and his calendar agrees with ours. In six weeks
the campus must assume the tremendous responsibility
of choosing: next year's leaders: we do not have time for
silent candidates or unconcerned voters. C. W.

Although the other five mem-
bers wanted Britain to join, they
could not wreck their work of the
last five years.

De Gaulle's plan for a "Europe
from the Atlantic to the Urals"
leaves the island of Angleterre on
the outside.

To further this plan France
has just signed a three-year
agreement with the Soviet
Union calling for a 10-15% in-
crease in trade.

The estimated value of this
trade is between $1 and $1.2
billion whereby French industrial
equipment will be exchanged for
Russian coal and oil.

De Gaulle has been preaching
a plan for all Europe, but his plan
could better be termed "Omnia
Gallia" or All De Gaulle's.

What Britain is to do since
her attempt to enter the Con-
tinental door has been barred is
the prime question facing Mac-
millan and the Conservative
Government now.

Her trade agreements with the
other members of the Lesser
Seven (Norway, Denmark, Switz-
erland, Austria, Sweden, and
Portugal) has resulted in internal
tariff cuts up to 50% in the last
two and one half years.

This EFTA is to meet 'in Geneva
on the eighteenth of this month.

This has been a mere palliative
compared with the eventual tariff-
free access Britain had hoped for
with the rapidly expanding mark-
ets of the Six.

Unemployment is a chief
problem related to the economic
troubles of Britain.

Now speculations run that due
to the increase in unemployment
and the failure to get in the EEC,
a general election will be held
this spring, perhaps in May, rather
than in the fall as analysts had
previously predicted.

Perhaps closer ties with Ameri-
can economy are in sight. Canada
has for several decades felt a
much stronger economic pull from
the United States than from her
fellow member of the Common-
wealth, Great Britain.

President Kennedy's Trade
Expansion Act offers the possi-
bility of some compensation for
Britain's rejection by the EEC.

One of De Gaulle's main argu-
ments behind his veto is his ex-
treme dislike for American power.

De Gaulle's strong antagonism
With regard to the threat of U. S.
economic and nuclear control in
Europe is not to be taken as just
a nationalistic sentiment.

But by excluding Britain from
his economic circle, De Gaulle has
forced Britain to look to the west.

Let it be hoped that "Omnia
Gallia' 'does not lead to a de-
vision into three parts the
Soviet bloc, the Anglo-Ameri-
can bloc, and De Gaulle's circle.

Wednesday. February 6, 1963 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS S

DR. PAUL GARBER

Dr. Paul Garber Plans
Year Of Studies, Travel

By LAURA HAWES

Dr. Paul Garber, Professor of
Bible at Agnes Scott, will fly with
his family from New York this
June to spend fourteen months of
studying and sightseeing in
Europe, North Africa, and the
Near East.

This is Dr. Garber's twentieth
year at Scott without a break. He
is planning his year abroad mainly
as an opportunity to enrich his
teaching. Agnes Scott does not pro-
vide a regular program of sabbati-
cals, but gifts have made this one
possible.

The cultural environment of the
New Testament will be the subject
of Dr. Garber's study. He feels
that his work on the temple model
enabled him to gain insight into
the world of the Old Testament,
and hopes to do much the same
type of investigation of the cultural
background of the New Testament.

The itinerary of the Garber
tour allows for extensive study in
the principle centers of the New
Testament story: Rome, Athens,
and Jerusalem. The minor centers
will be touched by both travel
and study.

This year abroad will combine
extensive sight-seeing with inten-
sive Biblical study. Dr. and Mrs.
Garber and their two younger sons,
David and Carter, will fly from
New York to London in June, and
will spend four or five weeks in
England, Scotland, and Ireland.
Their oldest boy, Leslie, will join
them in August after spending
some time in England, France and
Germany with friends.

While in England the Garbers
will pick up a "caravan", a trailer
affair which will provide trans-
portation to the out-of-the-way
points on their itinerary, and will
be "home". Mrs. Garber will have
her hands full with house-keeping,
sight-seeing, and tutoring her sons!

Leaving England, the Garbers
will cross to Calais, spend some
time in and around Paris, then
move by easy stages across central
Europe to Vienna. From Vienna,
they will drive down through
Yugoslavia to Athens.

The Garbers will remain two
months in Athens, where Dr. Gar-
ber will study at the American
School of Classical Studies. Then
they will drive up the east coast of
Greece, and cross the Bosphorus
at Istanbul.

Next they will circle western
Turkey, visiting the Seven Cities
of Revelation, including Ephesus,
going approximately where Paul
went. Then they will tour the in-

terior, including Laodicea.

Passing through the Cilician
Gates, like Alexander the Great,
the "caravan" will proceed to
Tarsus, St. Paul's birthplace. Then
they will go on to Antioch in Syria,
and through Lebanon to Jerusalem.

The Garbers will spend from six
to eight weeks in Jerusalem while
Dr. Garber studies at the Ameri-
can School of Oriental Research.
From there they will fly to Egypt,
where the American University of
Cairo will be headquarters for one
month.

During this month, the Garbers
plan to see the ruins at Luxor and
Karnak, and if possible to make
the long trek across the desert to
Mt. Sinai.

Returning to Jerusalem, the Gar-
bers will rejoin their "caravan" and
cross over into Israel, where they
plan to spend about a month. They
will sail from Israel, hoping to
touch at Malta, then travel through
Greece to Rome. Rome, and speci-
fically the American Academy, will
be the base of operations during
March and April, though they hope
to see southern Italy and Malta.

The last of April, the Garbers
will leave Rome for Holland. Re-
turning from Holland, they will
swing through Western Europe,
touring France, Spain, Portugal,
and the Riviera.

The month of June will be
spent studying in Rome, and after-
ward, with research finished, the
Garbers will tour Austria, Switzer-
land, and Germany.

They will then proceed to Scan-
danavia, and, after over a year of
studying and touring, will leave
for home from Denmark at the
first of September, 1964.

Rogers Reveals Mysteries
Of Job, A.S.C. Operations

By NANCY BRADFORD

It uses 475 pounds of chicken at
a single meal, 25 gallons of milk a
day, over 500 gallons of roof coat-
ing and hundreds of gallons of
paint for repairs a year, had over
5,000 repairs made during the past
year and needs at least 1,000 more
at the present time.

It has 60 houses and buildings
scattered over 70-plus acres of land
and uses about 30 tons of coal per
day during cold days.

Sound like a small city? No, its
only Agnes Scott College, which,
by the way, uses enough steam dis-
tribution to heat a business area
of a small city.

This information was gleaned
from P. J. Rogers Jr., during a
recent visit to his paper-cluttered
office.

The business manager of the
college at the time had papers on
his desk which referred to jobs
ranging from the purchase of a
spool of thread to the furnishings
of the new dormitory.

Mr. Rogers has under his direc-
tion over 114 employes who work
in the dining hall, laundry, power
house, grounds and dormitories and
other buildings.

Since he came to the college in
December of 1946, calamities, crises
and little incidentals have plagued
the office located in Rebekah.
Through all of this Mr. Rogers has
retained his sense of humor and
sanity without ulcers.

About 1948 a student on the
third floor of Rebekah decided to
see if the sprinkler system really
worked. She lit a candle, fastened
it to the top of a broom and held
the flame next to one of the sprink-
lers in her room.

The system did work.

Consequently the entire floor

Mr. Rogers answers one of the
hundreds of calls which come
into his office daily.

was "flooded," according to Mr.
Rogers who had to attempt to
salvage clothing, furniture and
walls after the deluge.

Many of the incidents which are
presented daily to this patient man
never reach the ears of the stu-
dents.

For instance, during the recent
sub-zero weather, students "never
knew how close we came to hav-
ing no heat whatever."

Heat is furnished on campus by
two boilers, one gas, the other
coal.

When extremely cold weather
occurs the gas boiler is unable to
generate enough heat to warm all
the buildings adequately and those
who maintain the plant switch to
coal.

However, when they did this re-
cently one of the water tubes
burst.

Quickly the men had to convert
back to the gas boiler.

In order to do so, however, they
had to contact the gas company
from which they obtain the fuel

Scientific Honorary
Elects MacDougall

Dr. Mary Stuart MacDougall,
teacher of biology at Agnes Scott
from the fall of 1919 to 1952 and
also head of the department for a
number of years, has been elected
to life membership in the Ameri-
can Association for the Advance-
ment of Science.

This honor was conferred on Miss
MacDougall at the December meet-
ing of this association of which she
was named a Fellow some years
ago. Only a limited number of re-
tired professors have beed admitted
to this new emeritus status.

The science museum in Campbell
Hall was named after Miss Mac-
Dougall upon her retirement, and
her portrait hangs there.

NSA Vice President Mannring
Talks of Student Responsibility

By LIL HARRIS

The minus 2 degree weather two
weeks ago couldn't keep Tim
Mannring, vice-president of the
National Student Association, from
making his expected appearance
on campus.

Surrounded by females (he seem-
ed to enjoy it!), Tim fearlessly
addressed a "formidable" portion
of the student body in Gaines about
the responsibilities of being a stu-
dent.

His timely speech brought into
focus such thoughts as the neces-
sity for American students to be
articulate. In his opinion we are
obligated to be inquisitive and con-
cerned about domestic and inter-
national affairs, especially when
the latter involves our country.

Tim maintained further that re-
gardless of the remarkable diver-
sity which characterizes the
American educational system, all
our colleges and universities do
have one common purpose that
is to prepare students to function
constructively in a free and demo-
cratic society.

This training, he says, demands
that we formulate opinions and ex-
press them. The responsibility
rests with students themselves.

To promote an articulate atmos-

phere on campus Tim suggested the
instigation of forums and discus-
sion groups (based on the implied
student right of assembly). He
also supported the idea of a mock
U. N. Assembly.

In these meetings, Tim empha-
sized, there is usually a need to
overcome inhibitions and feelings of
incompetency, for it is essential
that problems of national security
and civil rights be aired.

Often, according to Tim, through
discussions ideas have been trans-
lated into reality by students who
in the past have been influential
in overthrowing governments and
inciting revolutions. This was true
in Turkey and also in Korea.

Tim suggested that perhaps we
can help solve some of the future's
problems, but first we have to be
aware of them. This awareness in-
creases with investigation of to-
day's problems.

It is unfortunate, he admitted,
that our mass media do not al-
ways emphasize crucial issues. Of-
ten T. V. is not amply concerned
with cultural and educational en-
tertainment, but rather tends to
overdo the "Gunsmoke" type of
program. In Tim's opinion this
situation challenges the student and
increases his responsibility to stay
well informed.

and, because of the emergency,
had to pay a higher price.

Just as they had repaired the
tube and again attempted to switch
to coal fuel, the manhole covers
blew off.

The first crisis occured on Wed-
nesday and the plant was not
operating normally until Satur-
day.

Yet students had no way of
knowing any of this and con-
sequently they only complained of
the chill of the dorms.

Also under Mr. Rogers are the
night watchmen whom the business
manager commends for their silent
service.

As are all colleges, Scott is
plagued with people wandering
around. The students "would be
surprised" at the amount of
trouble the force averts by their
careful observation.

The college cooperates with the
Decatur police and Emory Uni-
versity in the apprehension of these
wanderers. Usually the local uni-
formed watchmen "talk to" the
men before any further action is
taken.

Other crises include the dis-
covery of a stolen car just last
week on campus and extricating
cars in "unusual" locations from
mud.

In addition to his other duties at
present Mr. Rogers has just com-
pleted constructing numerous
booths and other carpentry for
Junior Jaunt.

Employees of the carpenter shop
on campus could be seen during
the days before the event examin-
ing various locations in Rebekah
Hall for their constructions.

Mr. Rogers with Mr. Ferdinard
Warren, Miss Marie Huper, Dr.
Wallace Alston, Dean C. Benton
Kline Jr., Miss Carrie Scandrett
and Mr. Bair is selecting furniture
for the dorm under construction.

Mr. Rogers praised the members
of his staff and said that they
"work out of a devotion to the
college," for many of them have
been employees for numerous
years when they could have ob-
tained jobs at a higher salary.

For instance, eight of the
thirteen members of the laundry
staff have served Scott for over
30 years.

Since his arrival the manager has
seen the college budget rise from
$400,000 to $1,800,000.

Yet students could help him cut
expenses by at least 10 per cent
by doing only three things.

Instead of opening windows
when the rooms are hot from too
much heat, Mr. Rogers suggests
that they first cut off the radiator.

Then if they still are too warm,
open the windows.

When leaving rooms, students
should cut off lights which are
not in use.

The third area is the dining hall
where waste is apparent.

Cases have been observed where
students have taken as many as
four glasses of milk and have
drunk only one.

Since the dining hall uses over 25
gallons of milk a day, every waste
adds to the cost.

In his soft-spoken, smiling man-
ner, Mr. Rogers sums his job up as
"a jack of all trades and master
of none."

There is a doubt as as to the real
truth of that last part of the
statement in the minds of the stu-
dents.

Columnist Encourages
Discussion Of Election

By FRANCES ANDERSON

For the past several weeks- the nominating committee has
been "holed up" in the Pub going about the business of com-
piling a list of nominees for this year's campus elections

Dare we talk about elections?

We dare! Some-
one has already
started talking
or rather whis-
pering about
elections. We
have heard some
speculation about
j a two party sys-
tem being start-
ed and some speculation aibout
open campaigning.

I think we can agree that the
blind, deaf and dumb atmos-
phere that has surrounded elec-
tions in the past is not wanted
now or in the future but
neither a two party system nor
open campaigning is the solu-
tion on this campus.
A two party system with open
campaigning would not be possi-
ble, feasible or constructive at
Agnes Scott.

What would be the basis for a
two party system? There are not
two opposing factions with two
opposing ideologies on this campus.

We are not saying that the stu-
dents here all think alike are
all conformists.

We are saying that students
here are in agreement with most
of the basic ideals of this school.

The very presence of each of
you on this campus affirms your
belief in this school.

There is within the context of
this agreement vast room for dif-
fering opinions and interpretation
of policies and purposes of the
different campus organizations.

Upperclassman, please witness
the changes in each of the boards
as their officers have changed.
When we differ in our indi-
vidual interpretations of school
policy and organization pur-
poses, we sit down and try to
bring these differences closer to-
gether, and often a change in
some aspect of a policy results.
Now just suppose we did have a
two party system at Agnes Scott.

Imagine the campus smothered
with posters and slogans and soap
boxes and speech making and
campaign promises.

"Vote for Ramona she will
see that we get later time-
limits-"

"Vote for Missy, and she will
see that the Hub is opened all
night every night!'

By now, readers, can you not
see how ridiculous this would
be? The campus would be de-
structively split in half and
our campus is too small for that.
We still have not solved our
problem of a blind, deaf and dumb
electorate electing a seemingly
blind, deaf and dumb candidate.

It is obvious that since a two
party system is not, in this situ-
ation applicable, we, the elec-
torate, must rely on a careful
examination of the individual
nominee in lieu of the scrutiny
of a party.

This consideration for the In-
dividual candidate should in-
clude what her individual in-
terpretation is of the office she
is to hold, the particular way
she has handled responsibility in
the past, and the particular way
In which she has handled people
and meetings in her past roles
of leadership remember dif-
ferent offices place different

demands on the office holder.

(It goes without saying that
anyone nominated has the ability
to hold the office for which she is
running.)

Now if elections proceed in the
usual way, the electorate dare not
ask any of the above questions
outright and the nominee dare not
attempt to answer them for fear'
of having to wear the politicking
label.

(This writer incidently would
like to see nominees state that
they want a certain job or at
least indicate a preference as the
same nominee will be running for
many different offices.)

This columnist would like to
advocate open discussions of
elections.

If done the right way, and in
the right spirit, open election dis-
cussion could solve the secret
election problem.

An attempt was made last year
to make elections an open subject
of conversation.

One short issue of The Agnes
Scott News cannot do this.
I honestly believe most of us do
want open discussion about elec-
tions; we must discuss elections
openly.

Now for some of us, open dis-
cussion is impossible because two
friends are running for the same
office.

There is at Agnes Scott a
large number of students who
can and should discuss elections
openly.

I am a member of this group-
Seniors, I am talking about you
and me.

We are the only group of stu-
dents at Agnes Scott (provided
there are no transfers) who can
view the forthcoming elections
objectively, and who for the most
part have had the experience of
working with the future leaders
of our campus, to be able to judge
these nominees fairly.

(I feel that I must exempt
those seniors who have headed
boards and publications for they
really are in no position to voice
a preference as to their suc-
cessors.)

Seniors, if you have worked
with candidate "X," and know her
to be capable and by far the best
suited for a specific job
SPEAK OUT.

Perhaps another senior will dis-
agree and a discussion would re-
sult which would show candidate
"X" in an entirely new light.
And you underclassmen
you can certainly talk to the
seniors about candidates "Z"
and "Y."

It could happen that you know
them better and have worked
with them more closely.

If you cannot voice your opin-
ion among your classmates per-
haps the seniors can do it for you.
I challenge myself and my
senior classmates to begin open,
objective, well thought out dis-
cussions about elections and
nominees.
(Please remember that you have
great influence whether you know
it or not).

This challenge starts today. It
cannot be shelved until the week
before elections. I am ready to
discuss, are you ?

Group this season.

Atlanta Group To Present
ASC Alumnae Ballet Dancers

The Community Playhouse will

Concert Dance Group.

Two Agnes Scott alumnae will
appear with the company.

Bess Lundeen Finch '50 and
Blanche Spencer Wynne '56 will be
featured in many of the ballets
being presented this season.

Bess has been dancing with the
group for several years and is
responsible in many ways for the
success of the company.

Although her official title is pub-
licity chairman, she actually takes
part in every phase of getting an
evening of ballet together . . . en-
tertaining associate members, get-
ting posters distributed, selling tic-
kets, selling ads for the souvenir
programs, and getting together
accessories for costumes, just to
mention a few.

Besides the tremendous job she
does of promoting the company,
she is the company's leading soloist.

Blanche, who is performing with
the company for the second year,
has interested her family in con-
tributing their talents to this cul-
tural endeavor.

her brother designs and executes
sets, and her husband makes photo-

music by Jimmy Giuffre offers a
glimpse of creatures of the sea
matched to the vibrations and
sounds of the music.

Modern dance and jazz innova-
tions are used to mimic the move-
ments of the various fish.

"Si J'Etais Roi", choreographed
to the overture of the opera of the
same name by Adolph Adam, is an
abstract ballet meaning only "If I
Were King".

Debussy's "Danses Sacree et
Profane" will be played by Mar-
jorie Tyre, a noted harpist, who
will be seated on stage with her
harp while three dancers in cos-
tumes reminiscent of ancient
Greece symbolize worshippers who
profane religious rites by their
narcissistic concern with them-
selves.

The program will close with a
jazz ballet set to the musical score
of the movie "Baby Doll".

Impressions of the Tennessee
Williams' play will be danced, act-
ed and sung by members of the
company and guest artists from
local drama groups.

Cooley Visits;
Talks in Chapel

The A.S.C. campus had as a
guest Tuesday the Reverend George
M. Cooley, Secretary of the Stu-
dent World Relations of the Board
of World Missions in Nashville,
Tenn.

Mr. Cooley's agenda for Tues-
day the 5th included the program
in chapel on "Participating in the
Will of God" and private confer-
ences with interested people for
the remainder of the day. He ate
both lunch and dinner with people
interested in his work. At 7:30
p.m. there was an informal gather-
ing with Mr. Cooley at Dr.
Alston's home.

He came to the board in 1961
from the Presbyterian Church in
Lebanon, Ky. Mr. Cooley served
from 1955-1958 as the Presbyterian
University pastor at Washington
and Lee University and Virginia
| Military Institute in Lexington, Va.

A resident of Lynn Haven,
Florida, Mr. Cooley graduated from
the University of Florida and
Louisville Presbyterian Theological
Seminary. While serving in the
Air Force during World War II he
spent one year in Germany as a
prisoner of war. From the war Mr.
Cooley went into personnel work
with the Veteran's Administration
and the United States Navy Under-
water Defense Laboratory at
Panama City, Florida.

Presently Mr. Cooley is respon-
sible for coordinating the approach
to college and high school students
in the interest of involving them in
the World Missions enterprises of
the church. He administers the
Board's international scholarship
program for training key persons
to serve within the life of national
churches and countries with which
we are related in the mission.

Mr. Cooley is encouraging the
Presbyterian Church U.S. in a
ministry to international students
studying in this country. In addi-
tion, there is a program for Pres-
byterian U.S. students in summer
projects, work camps, and so on.
Similar opportunities are also open
to adults.

He also serves as the Board of
World Missions' representative on
the National Student Christian
Federations' Commissions and
Committees.

Among his past achievements
must be included his services to the
New Providence Presbyterian
Church in McAfee, Kentucky and
the Poplar Hill Presbyterian
Church in Lexington, Va. Mr.
Cooley has also been active in
Presbytery affairs, serving as
Chairman of the Committee on
Candidates in Lexington, Transyl-
vania, and Nashville Presbyteries.

The program this year begins
with "Panopticon", a ballet done
in the classic style, to Ravel's
Piano Concert in G Major.

The theme is the frustration of
individuals trapped by prisons of
their own making.

Another ballet, in demi-caractere
style, is "Bonbons Aus Wein" with
music by Strauss, Mozart and
Schubert.

The dancers, in colorful 1890
costumes, portray the humorous,
flirtatious and intellectual char-
acter types who attend an outdoor

Lehmann Discusses
Power, Christianity

By SUSAN KEITH-LUCAS

In "Religion, Power, and the
Christian Faith," Dr. Paul Leh-
mann, ASC's Religious Emphasis
week speaker, discusses power and
its control as a religious problem.

"Power," Dr. Lehmann claims,
"is a religious phenomenon because
it defines the transcendental foun-
dation of the world."

Power is a problem, he con-
tinues, because the energies of
this world do not carry their own
authority.

It is the job of religion, he feels,
to resolve the problem of meaning
by integrating power with the ful-
filling purposes of life.

Power has often been misused,
and by the church as well as
secular groups, Dr. Lehmann feels.

"Christianity has its own distor-
tions of power by religion," he
eels, citing Roman Catholicism and
theocratic Calvinism as examples
of these.

Totalitarianism is the most ob-
vious instance of power mas-
querading as religion, but demo-
cracies have also fallen into the
same idealogical and organizational
patterns.

"The identification of the power
to act with the power of meaning-
ful purpose is the unique achieve-
ment of Christian faith," Dr. Leh-
mann says.

Grace, he feels, is the key to
Christianity's relationship with
power since it is "the reconciling
and enabling power whereby man
can deal with the complexities and
the unpredicabilities of nature and
his fellows as God has dealt with
him."

Low-Cost European Trip

By VIRGINIA ALLEN

Got ,a minute? An hour? A few hours with nothing to do
or when you don't want to do what you have to do? Then
settle back and dream a bit!

on a student

Picture your
self waving good-
bye to the Statue
of Liberty as
confetti whirls
all around you.
You're off on a
nine-day floating
house - party,
f bound for Europe
sailing!

Mornings are lazy bridge,
informal lectures (like "What's
So Continental About European
Men?") by prominent people in
every field of interest, salty air #
blue sea, white foam, and sun-
shine.

Afternoons are busy and full
too much fresh fruit and delicate
pastries, language lessons (taken
with a sun-bath), fashion shows,
and good conversation with col-
lege students from all over the
United States and Europe.

Evenings are boisterous or ro-
mantic, depending on you and
your date for the evening jazz,
twisting, and limbo tournaments
(ever tried it on a rocking horse?),
or Ravel, moonlight on the waves,
and a bottie of French wine.

Now picture yourself on land-
ing day in Rotterdam, with
bands playing, speeches of wel-
come, answering cheers, and a
few tears so much fun is
over. But lots more is yet to
come!

A Dutch boy college style
will be waiting for you. He knows
his way around, speaks three or
four languages, is full of all sorts
of interesting tid-bits, and is de-
lightfully fresh-faced and pink-
cheeked. He's your guide and
driver.

With four or five other girls
you climb into his Volkswagon
bus and you stick your head out
the top to wave one last goodbye
to your friends on the dock (whom
you will probably run into again
in some little corner of Europe).

And you're off! Off to those
far-away places with the
strange-sounding names to
the Swiss Alps, the opera at the
Baths of Caracalla, the Champs
Elysee on Bastille Day, an eve-

ning of Shakespeare, to a
in a gondola . . .

date

In your fondest dream, you're
not a tourist sight-seeing and
touristHtrapping but a student
experiencing fully each country
you visit: laughing in its cities,
understanding its people, invaded
by its culture.

All along the way you're invited
to parties with European stu-
dents. Talking and dancing to-
gether, you learn what different
values you hold, what strong
loyalties you feel, what aspira-
tions you have in common.

Then finally picture yourself
a little sad and nostalgic, sitting
on your well-worn suitcase back
on the dock.

Everyone else seems to feel the
same way you do, so you relive
your whole summer and theirs,
too, on the return voyage.

iBy the time you see the Statue
of Liberty again, you've begun to
put into place the events of an
unbelievable experience.

Enjoying your dream? The
reality of it goes beyond that
fondest dream! And THIS
dream comes true!

The NBBS, a group of Dutch
students who work without pay to
further international relations
through student travel, plan just
such European tours as this! They
sponsor four types, ranging from
$1,055 (you can't go for less) to
$1,495 (you can't go better for
three times more).

If you have your own way of
doing things, find four friends who
agree with you, and NBBS will fit
you perfectly with tailor-made
arrangements!

You're packing?!!? Off to

Classes With Supporters Win;
Sophomores, Seniors Need Aid

By MARILYN LITTLE

Yes, the Freshmen and the Juniors have done it again
(won the basketball games, of course) .
Last Friday the ubiquitous
Freshmen grab-
bed a solid vic-
tory from the
great (?) Sopho-
mores 28-24; and
the fast-moving
Juniors stomped
our high-spirited
Seniors, 28-11.
The interesting
thing about these victories is that
the supporters (the ones who cheer
for a team and aren't dressed
out) who were present were pre-
dominantly of Freshmen and Junior
origin.

This high correlation between
victorious teams and large num-
ber of loyal spectators should be
noted.

Because the scores of the games
are usually rather close, one won-
ders if the difference between vic-
tory and defeat lies in the amount
of spirit and loyalty shown to a
team by its classmates.

Of course, this columnist would
certainly hesitate to throw out any
derogatory remarks about the lack
of support shown to her team and
her sister team, the excessive busi-
ness of everyone on Friday after-
noons is well-known.

But this coming Friday is dif-
ferent. No Sophomore wants her
parents to be the ONLY ones in
the gym cheering. After all, they
might become disillusioned with
the whole atmosphere at Scott.

Therefore, a bargain must be
struck with the Student Body. If
it is at all possible for you to at-
tend, please do so. And then you
won't be under any obligation to
support your class again. (Certain-
ly once is enough).

As each class has been lacking
in the skills of spectatorship thus
far, it must be pointed out who in
particular needs to come.

The Freshmen, although very
strong vocally, need numerical
strength. And with a giant class,
this should be no problem.

The Juniors, quite good in turn-
out, need noise. There must be
some loud ones, somewhere.

And the Sophomores and Seniors,
sadly enough, need some cheer-
leaders (who are they, by the
way?), some more loud supporters
and many more classmates in gen-
eral.

Here is how the teams are pres-
enly ranked:

Juniors 3-0; Freshmen 2-1; Soph.
1-2; Sr. 0-3.

It is rather obvious that your
team could use your active support,
so . . . See you Friday!

Just as a coincidence, the exer-
cise of the week is walking mov-
ing forward with head up, should-
ers back, chest hi^h, and spirits
(unbottled kind) overflowing.

One may walk anywhere in this
exercise, but the authorities rec-
ommend, that for best results, a
walk to the Bucher Scott Building
this Friday afternoon is excellent.

Humanism Debate

Humanism was the topic of a
Hub discussion co-sponsored by the
World Awareness Committee and
the International Relations Com-
mittee last night.

Mrs. June Youngblut argued the
postive side and Mr. Johnston, a
professor at Georgia State College,
argued the negative side to the
question, "Are humanistic and
Christian ideals of man compati-
ble?"

The second Humanism discus-
sion will be held after Religious
Emphasis Week by Miss Glick.

Future discussions of the World
Awareness Committee will be held
in the fields of art, music and
dramatics.

The World Awareness Commit-
tee has as its main objective keep-
ing Agnes Scott students in touch
with issues of the world and show-
ing our relation to them.

The committee is headed by
Mary Jo Winterle and has one
member from each of the four
boards. Miss Harrold is the faculty
advisor. International Relations
Committee, which was responsible
for the start of the World Aware-
ness Committee, works in close
association with it on many dis-
cussions.

Campus Treasures Visits
Of Late Poet Robert Frost

By KATHY JOHNSON

Agnes Scott seemed empty last
week. Students and faculty walked
a little slower, not to catch every
word the great man said, but be-
cause he was not here.

He was sick, in a hospital, and
then, unbelievably, Robert Frost
was dead.

Even the pigeons on the quad-
rangle seemed sad until somebody
remembered the unnamed, un-
published poem he gave to Agnes
Scott last year. He said,

"I see for nature no defeat

In one tree's overthrow

Or for myself in my retreat

For yet another blow."

As always, he left on a hopeful
word of wisdom.

As he once said about a poem,
Agnes Scott can say about her re-
lationship with Robert Frost, "It
begins in delight and ends in wis-
dom."

Agnes Scott paid her tribute to
the beloved poet today in Convoca-
tion as President Wallace M. Al-
ston recounted "Agnes Scott's
Friendship with Robert Frost."

In 1935 Miss Emma May Laney,
then a member of the English De-
partment and Chairman of the lec-
ture committee, became acquaint-
ed with Mr. Frost, and invited him
to Agnes Scott.

He came again in 1940 and for
his third visit in 1945.

Since then he was on campus
every year. Last week would have

been his twenty-first visit to Agnes
Scott.

President Alston told the stu-
dent body of Robert Frost's deep
interest in the college.

He was a great help in the de-
velopment of our Robert Frost
collection, started by Miss Laney,
which Miss Edna Byers has taken
great initiative in expanding.

During his 1962 visit, Mr. Frost
said it was one of the finest col-
lections in existence.

Mr. Frost sat for his portrait
here for Mr. Ferdinand Warren.
He was present at its unveiling and
said it was one of the very best
portraits ever done of him.

President Alston said that when
Agnes Scott began her intensive
phase of the seventy-fifth anni-
versary development, Robert Frost
became honorary chairman of the
project. He expressed a desire to
help in any way.

He did help in many ways, bring-
ing humor and wisdom to Agnes
Scott.

We can read his poems a hun-
dred times and they will forever
bring us the same freshness he
brought to Agnes Scott.

At the retirement of Miss Laney,
the Emma May Laney Library
Fund was set up to be used for
the development of the Robert
Frost collection.

Contributions in memory of
Robert Frost should be made to
this fund.

Students To Vote March 7
On Reorganization Plans

The last few weeks of this quar-
ter will be busy ones for all of us,
especially for the leaders of stu-
dent government as they complete
the plans for reorganization before
elections can begin in March.

On Thursday, February 21, the

final amendments will be presented
to the student body in chapel, and
they will be posted on the bulletin
board in the mailroom.

One week later students will
have an opportunity to discuss the
amendments in student meeting.

March 7 is the date set for voting
on the proposed changes and begin-
ning nominations for student
government elections.

The amendments to be presented
are as follows:

(1) The editor of the Silhouette
will be included as a member of
Representative Council.

(2) The secretaries of the Four
Boards will no longer be members
of Rep. Council, but the board
presidents will become active in-
stead of advisory members.

Four juniors and three sopho-
mores, none of whom need be day
students, will be elected to Rep.
Council by their respective classes.

(3) Judicial Council will add two
juniors and two sophomores to its

membership, each representative
being elected by her class. The
junior representatives being elect-
ed by the student body, and the
sophomore representatives being
elected by the sophomore class.

(4) Joint House Council will be
abolished since its duties are so
similar to those of Rep. CouncU.
However, each dormitory will re-
tain its own House Council.

(5) To provide some liaison
among the dorms, the presidents
of each dorm will automatically be
a member of the House Presidents'
Council.

The duties of this new body
will be (a) to present suggestions
to and discuss campus problems
'ith Rep. Council and other campus
organizations, (b) to report the
evaluations of major campus activi-
ties to Rep. Council, and (c) to
co-ordinate the overall campus fire
drill program.

(6) The first House President
elected will be the chairman of the
House Presidents' Council.

(7) The president of the senior
class will be elected immediately
after the chairman of the House
Presidents' Council and before the
other house presidents.

Dr. Ellen Douglass Leyburn,
professor of English will speak on
"One Great Society" in a special
Founder's Day chapel this Friday,
February 22.

Founder's Day commemorates
the birthday of Agnes Scott's
founder, George Washington Scott.

Miss Leyburn is a graduate of
Agnes Scott in the class of 1927
and did her graduate work at
Radcliffe and Yale.

She is the author of articles in
many critical and scholarly journals

1956.

After the lecture visiting mem-
bers of the Greater Atlanta area
will attend a panel discussion led
by Miss Eleanor N. Hutchens, also
a member of the English faculty.

Seniors Lynn Denton, Mary Ann
Lusk, Becky Bruce, Mariane Wurst,
and Lucy Morcock will discuss
their ideas of Agnes Scott today.

After the panel, the local alum-
nae will eat in the dining hall.

luncheons and dinners on Found-
er's Day.

Jacksonville, Fla. will welcome
Dr. John Tumblin, while Miss Marie

Susan Walker will appear as Agnes in the National Players pro-
duction of Moliere's comedy "The School for Wives."

Production Date Nears
For Moliere's Comedy

The National Players will present
Moliere's classic comedy, The
School For Wives, on Tuesday,
February 26, at 8 p.m. in Gaines
Chapel.

The play presents the intricate
plans of Arnolphe, a middle aged
gentleman, who, fearful of being
cuckolded, locks up Agnes, his be-
trothed, in order to preserve her
complete innocence and to insure
his hoped-for marriage status.

Miss Leyburn

Huper will speak in Tampa, Fla.

Miss Roberta Winter will go to
Birmingham, Ala., and Dr. W. E.
McNair will meet with Greenville,
S.C., alumnae.

Miss Leslie Gaylord will travel

bration, and President-emeritus J.
R. McCain will meet with the Char-
lotte, N.C., alumnae group.

Dr. Posey spoke at a dinner last
night in Washington, D.C.

Committee To Plan
'64 Scott Exchange

The Committee on the Scott Ex-
change Program has released in-
formation concerning the exchange
program with another school for
this year.

The faculty and the Representa-
tive Council have given their ap-
proval of the program; however,
the Exchange Committee itself has
decided that it is too late in the
year to make plans and carry them
out during the 1962-1963 session.

They are, nevertheless, preparing
for an exchange to be completed
in the next academic year.

The Committee is now in the
process of arranging a program for
the financing of this enterprise.

The schools under consideration
for the next year's project are
Bryn Mawr, Mount Holyoke, Wel-
lesley, and Vassar.

It was decided that since the
Scott-Smith exchange was only a
one year arrangement, it would be
better to invite another school to
participate for the benefit of a
more broadening experience.

Michael Flanagan will appear as
the foolish Arnolphe and Susan
Walker will play the role of the in-
nocent, but wise, Agnes.

Horace, the ambitious lover, will
be portrayed by Gerald Simon and
Alan Jorgenson and Halo Wines
will play the hilariously idiotic
servants, Alain and Georgette.

The National Players is an
organization which grew out of
the speech and drama department
o f the Catholic University of
America in Washington, D.C.

This year's tour will mark the
fourteenth complete tour of the
U. S. made by the Players. The
company has also made European
tours for the Department of De-
fense.

Sponsored by the Lecture Com-
mittee, the play will be presented
in English and should prove to be
a delightful entertainment.

Genie Heath Slates
Organ Programme

Eugenia Stovall Heath will pres-
ent an organ recital on Sunday,
February 24, in Gaines Chapel.

Genie, a senior music major, has
planned a programme including
selections from Bach, Schumann,
and Brahms.

She will also play compositions
from Johann Pachelbel and Carl-
Marie Widor, and the recital will
close with the "Te Deum" of Jean
Langlais.

The campus community is in-
vited to attend.

Students Elect
Class Beauties

Nominations were made in class
meeting Monday for the annual
Silhouette Beauty contest.

Those chosen to represent the
Senior Class in the final election
of Agnes Scott beauties were
Becky Bruce, Lynn Denton, Lyn
Lindskog, and Kaye Stapleton.

Junior Class nominees are Anne
Foster, Sarah Hodges, Caryl Pear-
son, Becky Reynolds and Sue Ellen
Wheless.

Robin Belcher, Libby Malone,
Nina Nelson, and Mary Lowndes
Smith will represent the Sopho-
more Class.

A run-off election is to be held
later this week among the follow-
ing freshman candidates: Barbara
Bishop, B. J. Brown, Cathe Cen-
torbe, Carol Davenport, Laura
Dorsey, Pain Gilbreath, Jan Kel-
sey, and Ellen Singer.

Seven students will be chosen
for the Beauty section of the Sil-
houette by popular vote of the
student body and will be an-
nounced in the spring.

Committee To Study
Appraisal Program

The visiting committee for the
evaluation of Agnes Scott's Self-
Study program will be on campus
February 24 through February 27.

The visit of this committee will
be the elimination of a three year
study and comprehensive appraisal
of the college. Administration,
faculty and students have helped
with this understanding, both in-
dividually answering questionaires
and working collectively in com-
mittees.

The five committee members
who will be visiting our campus
are: Dr. William F. Quillan,
President of Randolph-Macon;
Dean John Hubbard of Newcomb
College, Tulane University; James
Sewes, hba^rian of the College of
William and Mary; Dean Sara
Henley of the University of Ala-

erts of the University of Rich-
mond's Westhampton College.

The visitors will be talking tx>

tee asks one final favor of you.

Image Scrimmage

Last week Time magazine reprinted a letter from two
Agnes Scott seniors concerning an error in Time's art section.

The name of our school was given at the
bottom of the letter, and this is the kind of
advertisement which creates for Agnes Scott
the best kind of public image.

We try so hard here to present a good
public image that we become almost
laughable in our attempts.
We have a dress policy that is not only
% founded upon the hope of instilling individual
discretion in the matter of dress, but which
pon a concern for the way in which the public
interprets the girls who go here by the clothes they wear.

We do not use cigarette advertisements in our printed
material in order that those who do not smoke will not be
ilnduly influenced.

Our second motive for denying ourselves this sizable in-
come is an attempt to appease readers from outside the
campus who would become indignant at such advertise-
ments.

Agnes Scott girls are known for their conspicuous absence
at apartment parties, not only as a result of a poll taken
three years ago concerning parent attitudes on the matter,
but also as an attempt to show the public the kinds of things
in which Scott students will not indulge.

Every college must seek to present a favorable impression.
Our pride in our school makes us want it to be well thought
of and well known.

But the matter of on what we hope to found our impres-
sions and to whom we hope to appeal is another question.

Can we call those people "friends of the college" who
burden Dr. Alston and our campus with their cries con-
cerning the trivia of policy? Can we not have done with such
meddlers, and attend to those who have a real feeling for
the value of the school and its purposes?

We can be grateful that good reasons underlie our rules in
our dealings with the public, but we should be careful in the
exterior rules not to include the matter of public opinion.

Hopefully, Agnes Scott does not care to bother with an
impression which is manifested in clothes, advertisements,
and places-not-to-be-seen-in.

We will look to things which are more worthy of public
attention, and through these channels create a public im-
pression of Agnes Scott that is worthy of our school: the
work of the students within the CA service projects, for in-
stance, or in intelligent letters to national magazines; in the
impression which a few girls impart at a convention; in recog-
nition of a student in a national poetry contest; in our stand
on integration; in the academic freedom in which our pro-
fessors work; in the success of our honor system, to name
only a few examples.

It is only when the college breaks down in forming the
larger, more valid impression of Agnes Scott that it must
rely upon the images which are given in the terribly minor
details of campus life.

Through years of building a noteworthy image of the
campus, someday we will arrive at the point when the
Saturday Evening Post (Feb. 16, 1963) will have more valid
adjectives for our school than "old and aristocratic." C.W.

To the Editor:

In the February 6 issue of the
Agnes Scott News an essay by Dr.
Paul Lehmann titled "Religion,
Power and the Christian Faith"
was reviewed by one of your
columnists.

Quoting from this review (and
not from Dr. Lehmann) :

" 'Christianity has its own dis-
tortions of power by religion,' he
feels, citing Roman Catholicism and
theocratic Calvinism as examples
of these.' "

The impression given by your
reviewer is that Dr. Lehmann con-
siders the Roman Catholic Church
as a whole a distortion of Christian
power.

We feel sure that anyone who
will take the time to read Dr.
Lehmann's essay will find that the
impression given by this reviewer
is itself a distortion.

Any organization in which human
beings participate must bear the
burden of mistakes made by cer-
tain of its members.

We do not think that the Agnes
Scott News must be responsible
for the mistake made by its re-
viewer.

Nor do we think that the Roman
Catholic Church should be blamed
for mistakes made by certain of
its members. (Likewise for theo-
cratic Calvinism.)

The reviewer owes not only Dr.
Lehmann an apology for having so
carelessly misinterpreted his essay.

She also owes an apology to
our students who have embraced
the Roman Catholic or Calvanistic
traditions.

A Roman Catholic
A Protestant
A Free-thinker

To quote Dr. Lehmann on page
6 of "Religion, Power, and Chris-
tian Faith:"

"Contrary to its analysis of
power, Christianity has its own dis-
tortioyis of power by religion.

The two most influential ex-
amples are Roman Catholicism and
and theocratic Calvinism.

Roman Catholicism is a particu-
larly virulent form of sacerdota-
lism.

By a curious paradox, Calvinism
has inspired both democratic and
theocratic forms of power, which
in the latter instance have made
for a particularly virulent kind of
political and economic royalism. ,f ..

I am sori-y if anyone wax offend-
ed by this but I cannot apologize;
Dr. Lehmann said this, and I could
not have reviewed his essay honest-
ly if I had left out this important
part of it.

Exam Dates Foretell
Seasonal Activities

By JULIA PRATHER

Exam schedules are up! People are making plans for vaca-
tions in Florida or Bermuda and the braver ones are ven-
turing out of the dorms on warmer days without heavy coats,
gloves and scarves.

And what does all this mean?

It means that Old
Man Winter is
just finishing up
his work. It
means that the
"Lion and Lamb"
' JBL-J^-r days are not too
gjtiHipi far off, that

* ^ ' Spring Quarter is

just around the
corner.

It's not too long before we'll be
studying out on the lawn, listening
to the sounds of the lawn mower
and smelling freshly-cut grass.
Trips to Yellow River, drives
through the Candler Estates, ice
cream cones, some classes out-
side, hours spent on Inman
roof, daily trips to the Casual
Corner, and evenings talking on
the Hub steps are soon in store
for us.

If young men's fancies don't
turn to thoughts of love, they at
least turn to thoughts of fun eve-
nings at parties or "on the town."

There are mass exoduses to
Lake Lanier for swimming, skiing

and soaking sun. And somehow all
the work gets done with time left
over to play.

Wedding bells are ringing in
some imaginations, if not literally,
and the dorms fill with Bride
magazines, travel brochures, job
applications, summer school cata-
logues, new clothes, sun tan lotion,
sandals, laughter and lighthearted-
ness.

Seniors plan their future,
whether career, graduate school,
or marriage.

Juniors plan for next year,
where and with whom they're
going to live, and dream of only
one more year to go.

Sophomores plan their major,
and congratulate themselves for
making it through Winter Quarter.
Freshmen make plans for the
summer and put the finishing
touches on their first year at
Agnes Scott.

Yes, Spring is almost here and
though it seems as if it will never
really come, we all know it will be
worth waiting for.

A Time For Timidity?

Are we what W. I. Thomas would term "philistines"?
By the sociologist's definition a philistine is a person whose
ideas include only those he has maintained for a considerable
length of time. He goes through life with
blinders on, looking neither to the right nor
left at other conceptions, other ideas.

With his pre-conceptions he cannot assimi-
late different thoughts of others, new defi-
nitions of old concepts. He has, in other
words, a closed mind.

Could this term apply to students at Agnes
Scott?

Do we refuse to attempt to understand
another's ideas which are different from our own?

At most other colleges the answer would be an emphatic
No! for at most colleges there are various factions which
rebel and refute accustomed habits and regulations.

College, to many students, is a time of radicalism, of
accepting new ideas and then discarding them for still
others which seem to apply more to the situation.

But at Scott there seems to be a reluctancy to admit that
one's ideas differ from those prevalent on campus, let alone
openly defy some of the existing beliefs.

A true political liberal is hard to find for even if one be-
lieves in liberal principles, she is intimidated by the furor
which results if she casually mentions some of her convictions.
Consequently she keeps her mouth shut.

In the religious sector this apparent timidity is also
prevalent.

Perhaps Dr. Lehmann sensed this closed-mindedness when
he stepped on campus, for all of his talks and discussions
seemed directed to tearing off the blinders of the religious
mind of the campus and exposing us to new, vivid, dynamic
conceptions.

How many of us even attempted to discover what the
religious contextualist was trying to say?

After Wednesday convocation's provocative invitation to
consider ethics and the part which ethics should play in
our lives, how many of us went to any of the other dis-
cussions to hear what he had to say ahout one of the mfnor
prohlems of the day Christian ethics in the modem world?

If we did go, how many of us opened our minds to under-
stand what Dr. Lehmann was explaining?

How many of us after hearing him simply let his opinions
drift out of our minds?

Are we wasting the formative years of our lives by simply
using without questioning ideas which have been shoved
into our minds since childhood?

Are we philistines in a time when nonconformity in the
right manner could mean so much hoth individually and
for society in general? N.B.

cjCettetd to tlie Editor

To the Editor:

We would like to commend and
thank Christian Association for a
meaningful and stimulating Re-
ligious Emphasis Week.

Dr. Lehmann has provoked much
thought and consideration, not as
some people think, about some-
thing as petty as the non- drinking
policy and the apartment policy,
but about the nebulous concept
upon which the college is allegedly
based.

For once, someone (Dr. Leh-
mann) has dared suggest that
rules and honor are not necessari-
ly synonomous.

It is time that we listen to
voices such as those of Dr. Leh-
mann and others who recognize
that rules without bases which
recognize the dual question of
freedom and responsibility are
little more than ''words full of
sound and fury, signifying no-
thing."

This is not to recommend that
we immediately abolish the non-
drinking policy and the apartment
policy, but to recommend that we
re-examine our reasons for having
them.

If these reasons are worthwhile,
surely they will stand up under
practical, intelligent, understand-
ing analysis.

If they are not worthwhie, it is
time that we all realized the truth.

Perhaps in such an examination
we shall discover what really
makes Agnes Scott the college we
believe it to be.

ble sign of any attempt at place-
ment by the college and a
rather strange attempt as no
senior to date has expressed any
intense desire to work for the
U.S.A.F!

The catalogue states on page 114
that the college
operates a Place-
ment Service.
Prior to this
year, Miss lone
Murphy ran the
placement office.
This year Miss
Murphy is on a
leave of absence
and no one has been hired to
run the placement office during
her absence. So like so many other
jobs that need filling, the Place-
ment Service is now operated
through the office of the Dean of
the Faculty.

Now our Dean of the Faculty
has numerous other things to
busy him and so he cannot de-
vote even a tiny bit of his time
to running the Placement
Service a job which is a full
time one. We can hardly agree
this year with what is stated on
page 114 of the catalogue
about the operation of a Place-
ment Service.

With less than four months until
graduation, seniors should have a
better answer than, "I don't
know," to questions concerning
their future jobs. Seniors would
not be so upset about the lack of
an adequate placement service on
this campus if they did not know
that only fifteen minutes from
Agnes Scott there is an active,
effective college placement service.

Since Emory University's Place-
ment Service is serving the 30 per
cent of Emory seniors who are not
planning to do graduate study, no
great demands are being made on
it and many jobs remain un-
filled.

Since the Emory Placement
Service has the facilities, con-
nections and personnel to serve
many more students, could not
Agnes Scott ask to be included
in their placement program?
Seniors would be willing to
spend the fifteen minutes
necessary to get to Emory for an
interview.

Time is passing and many large
companies both in and out of state
have already been to Emory Uni-
versity interviewing students for
jobs and Agnes Scott has not
been visited by these companies.
Lef s face the facts Agnes
Scott has neither the personnel,
nor the facilities, nor the con-
nections for a Placement Serv-
ice this year. Seniors are very
upset about the above facts
and want to see the situation
remedied immediately!

USNSA President
Announces Student
Seminar Plans, Aid

By W. DENNIS SHAUL

President of USNSA

The United States National Stu-
dent Association is pleased to an-
nounce that applications are now
being accepted for the Eleventh
International Student Relations
Seminar.

The Seminar attempts to meet
two objectives: to provide for a
select number of student leaders a
high-quality academic experience
in international relations; and, to
instruct them in methods and case
studies to prepare them for leader-
ship roles in international youth
and student activities.

Following an opening week of
general readings, the Seminar
moves into an area by area con-
sideration of the important forces
which shape policies and affect the
people in these countries.

Reports from USNSA representa-
tives traveling throughout the
world provide first-hand and up-to-
date analysis of the student situa-
tions in every key area.

The Seminar will begin in Phila-
delphia on June 16, end its sessions
in Philadelphia on August 13 and
conclude by having the participants
participate in the National Student
Congress from August 15-29.

USNSA is able to provide a full
scholarship to participants worth
more than $1,700 and including
travel expenses, tuition, and room
and board, for the entire period, in
addition to several weekend trips.

In considering applicants, NSA
/ill be seeking persons with demon-
strated interest and ability in inter-
national affairs and who are poten-
tially will to make some commit-
ment to student affairs, either on
the campus or in a domestic or
overseas capacity with USNSA.

Proficiency in a foreign language,
although not a requirement, is
taken into consideration.

Deadline of submission of appli-
cations is March 14, 1963.

Initial considerations will be fol-
lowed by interviews which will be
held during the latter weekends in
March.

In the fifteen years of its history,
the USNSA has secured a reputa-
tion for effective achievement in
its international program and has
formulated an ever-expanding pro-
gram in the International Commis-
sion.

President Kennedy, in his mes-
sage of greeting to the Fifteenth
National Student Congress, said,

"During the fifteen years of its
existence, the National Student
Association has provided the
American student community with
a forum for expressing student
opinion on vital issues of the day.

"But even more important than
(representation and other serv-
ices) is the interest that the NSA
has always shown in the interna-
tional student world.

"Each year the need to establish
and maintain good relations with
the students of other countries be-
comes more widely recognized and
the vital influences that these
students exert in many countries
becomes more apparent."

"The NSA through the establish-
ment of such programs as the In-
ernational Student Relations Semi-
nar . . . has sought to both under-
stand and to assist students in
their problems and programs the
world over."

Ask yourself: What do you have a right to expect from
entertainment in Atlanta? Nothing but the best! And look
around. That's exactly what you've got!

from a Racine

ly at the Peach-

Maybe the choice is between
Charleston Heston, Tony Perkins,
and Robert Mitchum, who is re-
portedly less whatever-he-usually-
is in this movie.

Under the heading of special-
ties come two big treats.
Shimmering with music and se-

1963 HOLIDAY ON ICE, beginning
this weekend at the Municipal
Auditorium.

At the Wesley Memorial Meth-
odist Church ,the long awaited
DAME JUDITH ANDERSON will
piay her immortal roles, MEDEA
and LADY MACBETH, this Friday
and Saturday.

Those who saw HELEN
HAYES at Emory recently won't
want to miss this event, for the
sake of comparison, and because
the two are our greatest living
actresses.

The theaters' presentations are
not to be overlooked.

Still at the Pocket Theater is
the controversial A LB EE play,
THE AMERICAN DREAM, pre-
ceded by the 15 minute curtain-
raiser, FAM AND YAM.

Ask anyone who has seen

them if they can explain them
to you.

(Just a reminder to you to take
advantage of student rater and
the discussions following the
Wednesday and Thursday per-
formances.)

The Academy Theater offers
Oliver Goldsmith's SHE STOOPS
TO CONQUER this weekend and
to look forward to is Atlanta's
rendition of PYGMALION sched-
uled for March 12.

As to the Art Association,
run right down for a look at
the world-famous WHISTLER'S
MOTHER and George de la
Tour's THE PENITENT MARY
MAGDALENE.
While you're there, visit the
Upper Gallery, where POMP and
CIRCUMSTANCE, a graphic collec-
tion of the Achenbach Foundation,
is on display.

Since you're out for the best,
don't miss the food of the world's
best chefs French, of course!
You'll find a couple of them
cooking up something delicious
at EMILE'S.

Have a green salad with authen-
tic oil dressing (bears no resem-
blance to the bottled variety sold
as French), and escargots that's
snails, and they ARE NOT slimy,
but yummy!

Ask the waiter to verse you in
the art of teasing them out of the
shell.

Finish off with cerise flambe.
Indigestion may follow this feast,
but it's worth it.

So there's the best of it! As
they say, don't settle for less!

Questionnaires Yield Opinions
About Activities, Schedules

By LIL HARRIS

Remember the Self-Study Pro-
gram last year? Well, the answers
to those questionnaires have now
been tabulated, and two massive
volumes remain with very reveal-
ing facts about our college com-
munity, twenty copies of which
are now on the reserve shelf in
the library.

Students were asked to evaluate
aspects of the college ranging from
living conditions and other facili-
ties to academic courses and pre-
cedents.

They were also invited to ap-
praise themselves in regard to such
areas as the use they make of
the college's facilities, especially
during leisure time.

If figures are any indication,
Agnes Sootit students, in spite of
suggestions for certain changes, are
hardly on the verge of a revolution
or even a mild strike.

The results indicate that most
students are making an effort to
live up to the Agnes Scott four-
fold ideal.

There is widespread and regu-
lar attendance at church on Sun-
days, and generally a large crowd
makes it to breakfast during the
week, even if the last bite of toast
is sometimes on the steps of
Buttrick!

Evidently students are devoting
much energy to academic pursuits.

According to the questionaire a
majority spends less than 16 hours
a week "at movies, bridge, talk-

ing or loafing in the Hub, the grill,
or in the dorm."

During the Sophomore year,
however, there is a marked in-
crease in the number of students
speading more that 19 hours "loaf-
ing." (Sophomore Slump?)

The library was found to be a
popular study area, but hardly a
place of relaxation.

No students reported that they
spent any hours of leisure in the
library, and 300 out of 490 stated
that they never checked books
out of the stacks for leisure read-
ing.

When asked about the tempera-
ture in the library most people
agreed that it was comfortable, but
those who did not were not in
agreement as to the source of the
discomfort.

One hundred and ten students
said it was too "hot and stuffy,"
79 said it was "too cold and
drafty," and 15 said it was a re-
sult of "unregulated temperature !"

There was a general consensus
that the quarter system should be
maintained.

Every class had a large number
of students comment that such an
arrangement provided for a "better
vacation schedule," and "vacations
free from worry."

Said 29 Seniors "no exams after
Christmas, please!"

The student body is urged to
look at these results. The volumes
might provide an interesting
change of pace from our text
books!

Basketball Season Ends Friday;
Teams Need Altruistic Support

By MARILYN LITTLE

A leading historian has suggested two important reasons
for the victory of our friends of Northern extraction in the
Civil War.

He said that the noble sons of
the Confederacy suffered a severe
case of "defeat and defeatism,"
jhence they
! caused their own
I surrender.

Obviously, this
illness reached
! epidemic form
nearly 100 years
ago, and yet, de-
spite modern
medicinal ad-
vances, it has recurred right here
at Agnes Scott.

Unsurprisingly enough, one finds
it in all aspects of Scott's life,
whether in social life( with special
regard to blind dates who don't
call back), in academic endeavor
(with emphasis on C plus students
who never attain a B minus), or
in athletic competition (reaching
epidemic form in the area of
basketball).

As this last aspect is most im-
portant, it seems necessary to
examine "defeat and defeatism" of
basketball teams in great detail.

Two weeks ago was Sophomore
Parents' weekend.

For general information, there
were held two basketball games.
In one, the Freshmen soundly de-
feated the Seniors, and in the
other, the Juniors retained their
deservedly undefeated status by
whipping the Sophomores.

Furthermore, the supporters of
the Juniors inexplicably outnum-
bered the Sophomore supporters
(including parents).

"Defeat," continual, has set in
for the sister classes of the Sopho-
mores and Seniors.

This can only be cured by im-
provement in skill and in better
luck.

But "Defeatism," highly con-
tageous, may still be guarded
against.

It can easily infect an entire
team, so it must be stopped in
its earliest stages.

Fortunately, there exists one

excellent panacea, although some
people may cringe to hear it.

In case after case, it has been
proved that active class support

of class teams absolutely cured
'defeatism"!

Therefore, if one merely comes
out and yells, or even laughs, for
her team during a game (Friday
afternoons, 4:00, in the gym), she
will be aiding the physiological
and psychological states of her
classmates to such a degree that
they might even win.

At any rate, she will make them,
and herself, feel a lot better.

Besides, if one supports the
March of Dimes, the Fight Against
Cancer, the Dystrophy Drive, the
Heart Fund, the Community Chest,
and others ad infinitum with
monetary support, the least one
can do is suport the "Down with
Defeatism Drive" with one's phy-
sical presence (although money
won't be refused).

So be an altruist for a change
and come to the game!

Peace Corps Offers Teaching Positions

The liberal arts graduate has a
wide variety of Peace Corps
opportunities in teaching, since
mere than half the Volunteers are
serving in classroom situations.

The majority of the requests for
teachers come in the fields of
mathematics, physics, chemistry
and biology, or for the teaching
of English as a second language.

If new and emerging nations are
to achieve and maintain a com-
petitive position in the contempo-
rary world, they must develop
their own technicians and
scientists, trained to cope with an
increasingly complex society.

English, the language in which
seme 90 per cent of the world's

technical writing is available, is
a prerequisite, as are the physical
sciences.

Therefore, Volunteers who have
had a sufficient grounding in these
areas will undoubtedly be asked
to take teaching assignments if
they are otherwise qualified.

Qualifications for teaching in
the Peace Corps include a bache-
lor's degree.

While the Peace Corps looks for
experienced teachers, and seeks
the graduate who has been trained
in teaching for some overseas pro-
grams, formal education courses
are not mandatory in all projects.

dent Mary Beth Thomas.

Popular nominations will be
made in student meeting Thursday,
March 7.

The nominating committee, com-
posed of seniors who are presidents
and vice-presidents or hold other
top offices of publications and or-
ganizations on campus, have been
compiling a list of committee nomi-
nations since the beginning of win-
ter quarter.

Both popular nominations and
committee nominations will be
tabulated during spring vacation
and will be posted Monday, March

25.

Tentative plans for the week
preceeding elections are a special
edition of the News containing the
qualifications of each candidate,
and a "Meet the Candidates Party"
in the Hub to enable the student
body to talk with the candidates
concerning the va^us offices.

Also to be voted upon during
Student Meeting March 7 are
several recommendations for
changes in the construction of stu-
dent government. The amendments
to be presented are as follows:

(1) The editor of the Silhouette
will be included as a member of
Representative Council.

(2) The secretaries of the four
Boards will no longer be members
of Representative Council, but the
board members will become active
instead of advisory members.

Four juniors and three sopho-
mores, none of whom need be day
students, will be elected to Repre-
sentative Council by their respec-
tive classes.

(3) Judicial Council will add two
juniors and two sophomores to its
membership. The junior represent-
atives will be elected by the stu-
dent body, and the sophomore
representatives will be elected by
the Sophomore Class.

(4) Joint House Council will be
abolished since its duties are so
similar to those of Representative
Council. However, each dormitory
will retain its own House Council.

(5) To provide some liason
among, the dorms, the president of
each dorm will automatically be a
member of the House Presidents'
Council.

The duties of this new body
will be (a) to present suggestions
to and discuss campus problems
with Representative Council and
other campus organizations, (b)
to report the evaluations of major
campus activities to Representative
Council, and (c) to co-ordinate the
overall campus fire drill program.

(6) The first House President
elected will be the chairman of
the House Presidents' Council.

(7) The president of the senior
class will be elected immediately
after the chairman of the House
Presidents' Council and before the
other house presidents.

Members of the Washington and Lee University Glee Club will pre-
sent their Spring Concert at Agnes Scott on Friday, March 8.

Blackfriars Announces Players
Of de Vega's 'Gardener's Dog 7

Casting of the Blackfriars'
spring production "The Gardener's
Dog" is now complete. The play,
a comedy by Lope de Vega, is a
gay, romantic drama of the six-
teenth century.

This fast-moving, suspense-filled
comedy is basically the story of
the struggle between two women
for the love of one man.

Diana, Countess of Belflor, who
is protrayed by Ann Daniel, falls
in love with her secretary Teodoro
(Angela Lancaster), only to reject
him because he is not her equal in
society.

Although Diana will not marry
Teodoro, she refuses to let him
marry Marcela (Sarah Cummings),
whom he loves.

Diana's suitors plot the death of
their rival the ill-fated Teodoro.

The whole is an exciting piece of
escape drama, far different from
the plays presented last fall.

Other characters in "The Gar-
dener's Dog" are Tristan, a servant,
played by Myra Morelock; Fabio
(Brownie Faucette), Diana's
squire; Octavio (Anne Felker),
Diana's major-domo; and Dorotea
(Marilyn Mayes).

Arnado is played by Sue Roberts;
Ricardo, a suitor, by May C.

Brown, and Celoi, Ricardo's at-
tendant, by Carol McDonald.

Federico (Pamela Gilbreath) is
another suitor; Leonido (Mary Jane
Gilchrist), Federico's attendant;
Ludovico (Nancy Bruce), an eld-
erly nobleman; and Camilo (Bunny
Foster), Ludovico' s attendant are
also cast.

Furio (Mane Bruton), a ruffian;
An tone k) (Lee Allums), another
ruffian; and Lirano (Pat Emmer),
still another ruffian are the other
characters in the play.

In Loco Parentis

Practically speaking, there are two reasons behind the
function of a college in loco parentis.
First, there is no denying the fact that parents demand
this of a college, and this is even more true
of a small private college where individual
attention is possible.

Secondly, by willfully going to college
a student has of his own volition extended
his adolescence. Until a student can take
J,y. * full financial responsibility for himself he

must, as a financial adolescent, expect to
have a parent.

A college cannot choose whether or not it
win act m loco parentis: it can only choose how effective a
"parent" it will be.

As in the case of some quite liberal schools, the college func-
tions with only minor rules, such as when students are ex-
pected to return to the dormitories at night, and thus upon
a quasi-parental authority.

Those schools which take a greater concern for the stu-
dent will extend their authority into other areas in an
attempt to act as a parent who is concerned not only with
what time its students are in at night, but with the larger
questions of their morals, their conduct, and their values.
The mind and the body are not two separate entities. A
college cannot say to a student that it will train his mind to
its fullest possibilities, and ignore the other aspects of his
person.

A student goes to college to be led intellectually, and he
would have every right to leave if he found that his pro-
fessors did not lead him but rather consistently turned their
backs to him, and replied to his questions that they could not
take any responsibility for his intellectual growth.

The same principle holds true in the realm of a student's
growth as a member of the human race: a college cannot
say to a student that its concern with him is one-
dimensional, that the student's life is not the concern of
the college.

There is something of the attitude of parental love in a
college which acts in loco parentis. It is a love which would
protect the object of its affection from that which would be
harmful.

A college acting in loco parentis limits present choices in
order that later choices will be possible, in the same way
that the parent of a teen-ager would tell his child that he will
not let her marry now in order that later she may have the
choice of whether or not she goes to college.

Plato said that by surrounding a child with what is
beautiful he will grow to be beautiful in spirit. A college
which seeks to impose a code of values upon a student for
the duration of his college years is acting as Plato recom-
mended.

To the college belongs the tremendous responsibility of
drawing from all of western civilization those values and
standards which it believes to be most valid, and then of
creating an atmosphere in which students may develop under
their influence.

The college does not say that its students must adhere to
its standards after graduation, but it does sav that a life in
accordance with the highest standards of the human spirit is
more possible after a student has lived under their influence
To deny that one's environment affects his life is fool-
ishness: the wise college therefore will create an environ-
ment that is in accordance with its highest hopes for its
C.W.

students.

Columnist Questions
Dining Hall Concert

By JULIA PRATHER

Students entering the dining hall last week were greeted
by unusually pretty music. It was smooth, soft and soothing
all in all appropriate to the desired atmosphere.
However, this is not always the,

case. Sometimes are (And here I am speak-

the music coming in S of tne French Revolution type

A forth sounds like
c| i h e original

f : :' ^\ tion.

* For some rea-
son (perhaps
this Is only co-
incidence) this seems to happen
when special groups of the
Mock U. N. meet for dinner.

I know of no one who doesn't
enjoy music at meals.

I know of no one who does
enjoy some of the selections that

of music).

Perhaps some kind of system
could be arranged whereby stu-
dents could suggest particular
music).

Some people might even be
willing to lend some of their
own records, if it could mean
leaving the dininq hall free
from indigestion and/or head-
aches.

Students might also like to re-
quest that certain music NOT be
played. Why not write a Letter to
the Editor so all can know what
you think?

To the Editor:

I write this as a senior sister
in what has been called "a so-
phisticated nunnery" my about-
to-be Alma Mater, Agnes Scott.

I feel that to be quite accurate I
should say "we" instead of "I",
because in this community I am
forced to be two people.

I am on the one hand the matur-
ing young woman who is en-
couraged to grow intellectually to
the farthest capabilities of my
mind, to think clearly, to make
thoughtful and honest critical judg-
ments, to maintain my intellectual
integrity.

And I am on the other hand dealt
with as a child who is incapable
of conducting herself properly in
society and who must therefore be
told what to do and how to do it.

I am not mature enough, I do not
think clearly enough, I have not
sufficient judgment to make my
own social decisions.

I have not the moral strength
(nor the conviction) to withstand
the onslaughts of a hedonistic
society.

I came here as a whole person, a
girl who wanted to grow in mind
and in spirit.

And I chose Agnes Scott because
I believed that here I would live
among girls whose backgrounds
and aims were compatible with my
own a home built on love and
Christian concern, and the hope of
being a whole woman with a use-
ful, positive place in society.

Soon I shall leave Agnes Scott
but not in exactly the way I wish-
ed for three years ago.

For I have been split in two. I
have learned to lead two lives; I
have become two half -people and
the two halves do not make a
whole.

I protest against an institution
which acts in place of a parent who
says in one breath, "Think for
yourself; use your best judgment.
Grow up; and in the next breath,
"You must listen to me and obey
me, for you are not mature enough
to be trusted with decisions."

I protest against an institution
which says to me, "You must pro-
mise to do everything I require of
you; and if you disobey, if you
break your promise, you bring dis-
honor upon yourself and upon me."

Where is the honor in blind
obedience? Where is the integrity
in enduring a situation whose con-
clusion is determined for me?

In signing the honor pledge I
bound myself by my word to some-
thing in which I do not now believe
and in which I did not then be-
lieve, had I but had pre-college
occasion to realize it.

My rejection is of absolutism
and of an imposed morality; my
dissension is not with the rules per
se, but with the instransient prin-
ciples behind them.

My morality and my integrity
are in no way involved in my ad-
herence to the "honor system". For
me the matter of honor lies far
from that.

T abide by the rules, for these
reasons: I wish to go on living here
with my friends, I wish to go on
learning from them in our times to-
gether, and with them in classes. It
is that simple.

I protest strongly against a sit-
uation which, in the name of
"Christian concern," denies me the
right to become one self, a whole
being.

Instead of realizing myself. I
have had to divide myself against

In Loco Parentis

By GUEST COLUMNIST JAMES E. JORDAN
Associate Professor of Education, Emory University

How can a college function in the place of parents?
What is the role of parents in the lives of young men and
women eighteen years and older?

Is the role of parents so clearly defined, especially in its
protective phases, that a college can fill such a role? I seri-
ously doubt it.

A college can take the place of parents by giving ad-
vice when it is asked, but how can it melt the hundreds of
opinions about what is moral and good into a helpful set
of rules?

Four years after a boy or girl enters college he emerges
to take on the full responsibility of citizenship, parenthood,
and economic production. Some boys and girls take on these
responsibilities earlier, but all take more or less of them on
at least soon after their four years of college.

One of the things a boy or girl has to create for himself
is the set of principles he intends to live by. There are
ready-made principles all around him which he can accept
from mother, from a favorite teacher, from the church,
from the gang but to accept a ready-made set of prin-
ciples is to live with a synthetic umbilical cord perpetually
plugged in.

To become a man or woman in any genuine sense means
to forget a set of principles for oneself out of one's own con-
frontation of the problems of being a man.

The princinles one finally wrests from his life situation
may be no different from those of millions who have fought
the same problem before, but unless one fashions principles
for himself out of his own genuine confrontation of choices
that make a difference, he runs the risk of never being able
to identify himself. To identify oneself is to know with some
accuracy what one believes in and acts upon, and to know
why.

Thus the chief function of any educational institution, but
especially of a college or university, is to provide experience
with the various tools, skills, and knowledge that men have
discovered and created to help them make choices.

As one progresses through school, the final decision of
what to do in any situation that confronts him is allowed to
rest more and more in his hand.

In the long run, to persist in making decisions for a boy or
girl, whether as parents or in place of parents, is to destroy
him. When one leaves college he should leave with some
knowledge of his cultural heritage to assist him in making
decisions with some hope that he will be building upon
rather than simply repeating the experiences of men be-
fore him.

In other words, college is the place to fashion the way one
will attempt to add his identity as a human being to the
growth of the culture of which he is a part. Before one can
add his identity, he must construct it.

To construct it, one must become a person apart from his
parents, whether in real or in loco.

It is one function of a college to assist an individual in
identifying and becoming himself. If a college accepts the
role of parent, it may protect the individual from the bruises,
challenges, and excitements that give rise to himself.

One identifies himself by making choices that matter
moral, ethical, aesthetic, social, religious. It is one function of
a college to help a student make choices, not to protect him
from having to choose, and not to protect him from the con-
sequences of his choices.

Students must choose many things whether to be
Christian, whether to be moral, whether to pursue pleasure,
mainly how to spend the time that is the living of their
lives. A college can be a repository of knowledge, but only
individuals can make the choices that fashion identities.
If a college is to function in loco parentis, let it offer the
sympathetic advice freely when requested, but let it make
no rules that abridge the freedoms, rights, and privileges its
students might have as a member of society at br^e. After
all, to have the collective wisdom of Western civilization at
one's service if he needs advice is no small protection, but
a rule that prevents one from making a choice that is legiti-
mate! v his is no protection, and surelv it is no parent.

College is a place to become the person one chooses to
be. No parent much less a parent in loco can make
the rules that will create a person.

Letters to the Editor

(Continued from Page 2)

myself and I cannot stand.

I protest not as Sally Ector the
personality, but as a human being
striving to become.

I am an individual within the
human community, and I am will-
ing to live as a member of that
community.

But I am not willing to submit
myself to an absolute, imposed
morality, for that denies to me the
free will which is the full partner
of individual responsibility.

Sally Ector

To the Editor,

I, too, am concerned with the
age-old problem which has recent-
ly come to a head.

Ever since I have been at Agnes
Scott, stabs have been made at
the school's policies concerning
drinking and men's apartments.

However, it is not these policies
in themselves that concern us,
but rather the reasons that lie be-
hind them.

It is time for everyone to push
futile gripes aside and to begin to
review the situation in a mature
manner.

Now more than ever, the stu-
dents, the faculty, and the ad-
ministration must work with one
another in an atmosphere of mu-
tual concern.

Yes, there have been many
times when these groups have dis-
cussed these problems, but how
often have any of us really
listened?

What is our basic concern? Ag-
nes Scott states that its purpose
is to develop the whole person.

The college believes in freedom
and responsibility, or it would not
have established honor as a basic
code.

However, our freedom of choice
is limited in certain respects. If we
are to develop wholly, we should
be allowed to do so in all areas
academic and social.

Since the college does not seem
to allow the proper degree of
freedom, its perspective becomes
somewhat distorted and limited.

The college fulfills its purpose in
the religious and academic realms.

It has been wise to allow us to
make our own decisions and to
make our own mistakes about the
time we allow for studying.

Between the freshman and the
senior year a student learns how
to handle academic pressure.

Perhaps at times we are even
pampered in the academic area,
and this too may need revision.
The religious atmosphere en-
deavors to strengthen our faith,
but at the same time it allows
us the freedom to doubt.

We wish the school to under-
stand that we do appreciate and

recognize the areas in which it
does allow us freedom.

If we did not feel the college had
a great deal to offer, we would not
be concerned by the fact that it
appears to be restricting itself in
its aim to develop the whole per-
son.

A great deal is involved in our
approach to this problem.

Communication must be estab-
lished. This may be difficult.

We need to objectify our posi-
tion so that we may gain the
proper perspective.

Pat arguments and pat answers
must be thrown out.

Everyone must have the will to
stand up for what they believe and
at the same time the courage to
admit that they are wrong.

All must be willing to listen and
to try to understand points of
view other than their own.

If we are honestly concerned
not only with acquiring changes
for the benefit of ourselves during
our one to four years but also
with the entire perspective of the
school, then we can approach the
problem in a mature way and
a mature approach is essential.

We, the students, must be
realistic about our responsibility
and prove our dependability in all
areas attending chapel, keeping
the smokers neat, getting papers
in on time, attending classes, etc.

All of us have a tendency to
speak only of the freedom Leh
mann mentioned, but what about
real responsibility?

All I ask is that everyone be
completely open.

If you do not know the whole
situation, inquire about it from
those who do. Do not complain that
everything is being kept a secret.
If you want to know, ask. Wild,
rash statements not grounded on
knowledge and understanding tend
only to complicate the situation.

When we can prove to the fac-
ulty, the administration, and to
each other that we are mature,
only then can something be
accomplished. At the same time, it
must be acknowledged that real
character development comes when
maturity rather than immaturity
is expected.

We must make an effort to
break down the present communi-
cation barriers for which we are
partly responsible. Once the com-
munication is established and the
aim is mutually affirmed, we, the
faculty, and the administration can
work together on the necessary
changes. By no means do we ask
to abolish all regulations, but we
do ask that all reconsider those
which at present appear to be
limiting our freedom to mature.

Cabinet Announces
Financial Condition

By ELIZABETH STEWART
Christian Association Treasurer

C .A. Cabinet reports the Asso-
ciation's financial condition with
respect to the program it has been
about to undertake this school
year:

As has been announced, a larger
proportion of the student body
pledged monetary support than
ever before. The fulfilling of these
promises also has been commend-
able, for by the end of fall quar-
ter, a full third of the total
amount was received.

Such response has enabled the
cabinet to forward the total pro-
gram of Christian Association with
confidence. This, however, has in-
evitably meant a full tapping of
budget expenses. Through the
Y. W. C. A., students have attend-
ed the quadrennial National Stu-
dent Assembly of the Y at the Uni-
versity of Illinois during the
Christmas holidays.

Three more will leave March 1
for the regional conference in
Gatlinburg, Tennessee.

Wider campus participation in
community service projects,
coupled with the recent addition
of a new project, brought to the
campus in addition to the guest
speaker, Dr. Lehmann, a collection
of art work which has appeared
in Motive magazine, now sub-
scribed to by many students on
campus.

Efforts to revitalize campus fa-
cilities have included improve-
ments for the vespers and prayer
rooms.

Attractive publicity has en-
couraged increased campus in-
volvement in the total program.

In addition to the national, com-
munity and campus areas of our
budget sketchily mentioned here,
we must be able to live up to our
commitments abroad.

At this point, near the end of
winter quarter, we are halfway to
our goal of $2,220.

Like all other
^uuiui ies or tne socialist camp, the
Ukraine is following the Soviet
Union's policy of peaceful coexis-
tence by seeking peace and friend-
ly cooperation among all nations.

Our republic considers general
and complete disarmament as a
realistic step in the direction of
world peace. Therefore we have
actively supported the policy of the
Soviet Union which is persistently
pursuing this goal.

The Sixteenth Session of the
United Nations General Assembly
accepted a proposal by the Soviet
Union and the United States that
an 18-nation disarmament commit-
tee be established.

Also at that same session the
General Assembly adopted by 55
votes against 20 votes (mainly
members of Western military
blocs) a resolution prohibiting
nuclear weapons for war purposes.
Although no conclusion has been
reached to settle a test-ban agree-
ment, the Soviet Union continues
to seek universal peace by its ef-
forts in this direction.

The Ukrainian Republic also
speaks out firmly in the UN in the
defense of the freedom and inde-
pendence of nations against
colonialism.

We stand behind the provisions
of the UN Declaration on the
Granting of Independence to
Colonial Countries and Peoples.

This declaration proclaims the
need for every people under the
colonial yoke to seek its inalienable
right to independence.

Another important issue sup-
ported by our republic is the resto-
ration of the legitimate rights of
the People's Republic of China.

In order to deal justly with this
nation of 650 million strong
Chinese people and in order that
the prestige of the UN as an inter-
national organization be retained,
this issue must be settled postively
in the nearest future.

How can the UN hope to con-
tinue "to practice tolerance and
live together in peace with one an-
other as good neighbors" when it
refuses to recognize the rights of
this steadily increasing world
power?

The Ukrainian Soviet Socialist
Republic, despite these unsolved in-
ternational problems, continues to
attach great importance to the role
of the United Nations today.

The tasks set by the UN of
strengthening peace, and seeking
the security of all peoples on an
equal basis are the tasks that
determine the overall policy of the
Soviet Union.

Cool Scotties Cheer In Dorms;
Subtle Spirit Pervades Campus

By MARILYN LITTLE

Fearing that perhaps a resume of Winter Quarter would
bring tears in too many eyes, and pain in too many hearts,
(and indigestion in too many stomachs) , the past few months
will not be dealt on in much detail in this last issue of the
paper.
There are

few features in the
athletic events of
past weeks, how-
ever, that seem
worthy of noting,
in the hope that
they will be re-
peated in the
near future.
First of all, the
|i basketball games

were supported with tremendous
crowds. An unbelievable amount of
class support was evident every
Friday afternoon.

And the exciting feature of this
participation was that it was so
subtle.

(If one wasn't aware of how
strongly the student body felt to-
ward their teams, one might have
jumped to the hasty conclusion
that there was no support at all ! )

Of course this is a gross mis-
conception; observers just don't
realize how cool Scott students
are about recreational opportuni-
ties.

They don't go in for the "rah-
rah" loudness so prevalent in high
school.

Scotties, the really sharp ones
that is, are subtle and refined, and
prefer to cheer for their class-
mates from a reasonable distance.
(Like from the dorms, the Hub,
and the library.)

In addition to the terrific parti-
cipation, there is another feature
of A. A. events that warrants spe-
cial attention.

Needless to say, the strong fel-
lowship which everyone enjoyed
with everyone else this quarter is
really admirable.

Just look at all the people who
went to the bonfires and to the
Hub Sings.

The glowing spirit of Agnes
Scott was everywhere.

If only Spring Quarter will dup-
licate Winter Quarter. (The trans-
fer rate will be phenomenal.)

All in all, however, the basket-
ball season was a tremendous suc-
cess.

The four teams played very well
(or tried to), and each game was
exciting and fun.

The Juniors, having maintained
their undefeated status success-
fully, are Champions (and it
couldn't have happened to a better
team.)

The freshmen, ever-improving,
finished second, and the sopho-
mores and seniors, ever-spirited,
successfully maintained their de-
feated status.

The really outstanding feature
of Winter Quarter Sports was the
sportsmanship exhibited in great
quantities by all.

It was this that gave basketball
an excellent season, and it is this
that must be carried over into
next quarter.

There's only one way to do this,
however . . .one must have some
teams. How about it?

Four Glick Canines
Win Show Awards

By LIL HARRIS

The hobby of Miss Kathryn
Glick, head of the Classics Depart-
ment, is raising and showing cairn
terriers.

Although she enjoys her dogs
for their companionship, Miss Glick
is always delighted to enter them
in shows.

Only recently, from February 10-
12, Miss Glick ventured up to New
York City for the Cairn Terrier
Specialty Show and the West
minster Kennel Club Show, which
was held in Madison Square Gar-
den.

As there is much prestige attach-
ed to the Westminster Show, Miss
Glick was particularly pleased with
her dogs when they were accepted.

Not only did they qualify for a
difficult entrance, but the dogs
also received several noticeable
awards.

At the Specialty Show, which
allows 62 dogs in the classes and
49 in the sweepstakes, Miss Glick's
puppy bitch Heather won the Stud
Dog Stakes and the Brood Bitch
Stakes in her age group, which is
6-9 months.

Heather also won the puppy
classes and the regular classes in
her age group.

Mark, Heather's little brother,
walked off with third place in the
puppy class of his age group, which
is also 6-9 months, and Bunty, Miss
Glick's' 14-month-old bitch, came
in second in the Bred By Exhibitors
Class.

Since dogs have to be at least a
year old to enter, puppies are not
eligible for the Westminster Show.

Jack and Bunty however, were
not without recognition at this
event.

Jack placed second in the open
class, and Bunty won the Bred By
Exhibitors class at Madison Square
Garden.

All four of the dogs that Miss
Glick entered in these shows won
some kind of an award, and this
certainly indicates her talents as
a dog breeder.

She says that her cairns are
wonderful pets and companions; by
supplying several members of the
faculty with cairn terriers she has
convinced them that this is so.

Milstein To Perform
In Atlanta Concert

Nathan Milstein, one of the
world's most distinguished violin-
ists, will appear with the Atlanta
Symphony, Tuesday, March 5, 8:30
p.m. at the Auditorium.

Mr. Milstein, whose last Atlanta
Symphony concert was a near sell-
out, is Russian by birth and is
now an American citizen.

He began his career when nine-
teen, touring his native country
extensively with another young
musician who also later became
world famous, Vladimir Horowitz.

The violinist, who was already
famous in 1929 when he made
his American debut, will play his
Stradivarius, one of the most
famous instruments made by the
Italian master.

The program will open with
Bach's Suite No. 2. Warren Little,
principal flutist, will be heard
through the solo passages.

Ravel's "Dalphnis and Chloe"
Suite No. 2 will complete the first
half.

The entire second half will be
given over to Brahms Concerto for
Violin and Orchestra.

This outstanding piece has been
termed "the ripe fruit of the
friendship between Joachim (the
great Hungarian violinist) and
Brahms.

Joachim worked with Brahms
through many of the violin pas-
sages and performed the work at
its debut in 1879 with Brahms
conducting.

The "Daphnis and Chloe" Suite
No. 2 includes "Daybreak," "Pan-
tomime," and "General Dance"
from the Ravel ballet which was
written for the Ballet Russe when
it was in its hey-day.

Tickets are available at J. P.
Allen's downtown or by calling
JA. 5-2956.

Students to Audition

Maclean Chapel will be the scene,
on March 2 at 2 p.m., of the state
student auditions sponsored by the
National Association of Teachers of
Singing.

Talented students of the mem-
bers of the Association will perform
before a board of judges and re-
ceive their criticism.

Scott students are welcome to
attend the auditions.

Professional Groups Recognize
Physical Education Department

Miss Kay Manuel of the Physi-
cal Education Faculty has been ap-
pointed Chairman of the Aquatics
Examinations Committee of the
Division For Girls and Women's
Sports of the American Associa-
tion For Health, Physical Educa-
tion and Recreation.

In this capacity Miss Manuel and
her committee will prepare the
examinations for rating Swirnming
Officials. These will be distributed
to the Officials Board throughout
the United States.

The excellence of the Aquatics
program at Agnes Scott under Miss
Manuel's direction is recognized.
The Dolphin Club under her leader-
ship has contributed enjoyment to
swimmers, the college community
and parents.

The American Red Cross has ap-
pointed Miss Manuel a Water
Safety Instructor under the A Plan
which permits her to give the
Water Safety Courses without di-
rect supervision by the Red Cross.

The fact that two hundred and
ten of our students (one third of
the students) are either Senior
Life Savers or Water Safety In-
structors indicates her qualifica-
tions in the area of Aquatics.

Miss Kay Osborne was recently
elected Secretary of the Dance
Section of the Southern Associa-
tion For Health, Physical Educa-
tion, and Recreation.

Interest and understanding of
dance has deepened since Miss
Osborne joined the Agnes Scott
faculty. Many students are en-
rolling in her classes and the
dance group is outstanding tin their
dance technique and productions.

The work of Miss Osborne and
the dance group has been recog-
nized in the community and they
have been invited to discuss and
demonstrate the dance in many of
the churches in Metropolitan At-
lanta.

Mr. Juscelino Kubitchek, for-
mer president of Brazil, was
scheduled to speak at Agnes
Scott College April 4. Because
of a change of plans involving a
meeting with the Latin Ameri-
can countries, Mr. Kubitchek's
American tour and visit to Agnes
Scott are indefinitely postponed.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 3, 1963

Exeunt Exuberant

Although I am rather comfortable up here, I understand
that it is now time for me to climb down
from the upper left hand corner of the News.
Sparing all of us a eulogy, I will simply say
"Thank you' to all of those people who have
made the News a joy to me: to Wurst, my
right-arm for the year, our wonderful
columnists, our dependable printer, and our
utterly delightful (if somewhat unprofession-
al) staff. C.W.

Rags To Riches

Ssshhh! It is only I, crawling out of the filing cabinet. Now
that you have seen me, I suppose I ought to stop a minute
and tell you goodbye.

The experience of being managing editor
of the News has been a very rewarding one
for me in many ways, and in one way in par-
ticular.

Having known Cheryl for over three years
as a wonderful friend, I have come to know
her as an equally wonderful boss. It has
been a fine thing to watch her operate as
editor of this newspaper, and I thank you for
having put me in the position to watch her and work with
her and come to appreciate her in a relationship outside that
of friendship.

There is a tender spot in my heart for Sue Roberts who
kept the advertisers happy and consequently kept the News
from declaring itself bankrupt. If it hadn't been for Sue
there would be many empty spaces where issues of the
paper now stand.

And to Helen Jones who so willingly took on the unglamor-
ous, tedious and very important job of circulation manager
and never forgot one of the hundreds of people who bought
the News, I want to say, "Bless you" for having spared me
the agony of apologizing to irate and newsless subscribers.

The editorial and reporting staffs who kept us in fine
writing on Wednesday afternoons and in fine spirits on
Monday nights have been two more bright spots in my life
this past year.

I feel almost sad to know that I am crawling out of the
filing cabinet never to return again. I shall miss those ledgers
and bills and bank statements and advertisements. But it is
time to leave. And so I creep out of the filing cabinet and slip
out of the Pub into the dark forever, very much richer than
when I first went in last April. Don't tell anybody, but you
see, I have embezzled the Agnes Scott News money. Bye
M.W.

To the Editor,

Before elections become simply
another past crisis on campus, I
would like to consider an aspect
which, unfortunately, will form
a part of the 1963 record.

To remain candidates for offices
all of us who have ever run for
anything have had to reflect on our
capabilities and interests in par-
ticular organizations.

For some it has meant admitting
significantly greater concern in cer-
tain areas.

Then, in isolated, clear-cut in-
stances, it becomes justified to in-
dicate this to the student body.

This year, however, the number
of names scratched from the no-
minations list may well indicate a
growing tendency to evaluate our
potential rather too coldly, too
'^reaJlistically."

The danger is that we may vis-
ualize our limitations more clearly
than our potential, and our in-
terests with little attempt to appre-
ciate the perspective of the student
body.

I am suggesting, in effect, that
the concept of service has become
too minimized in our thinking.

Each of the votes cast to no-
minate a candidate represents a
particular opinion of someone why
that person would qualify for an
office.

Certainly the student body is
capable of a generally disinterest-
ed, objective view which deserves
the consideration of the candidate
despite her convictions concerning
her interests.

As for her potential, it would be
expected that a candidate con-
clusively affirm at election time
that she can offer the necessary re-
sources for the office.

Any experienced office-holder
would agree that feelings of in-
adequacy can be the necessary key
to conscientious service in an elect-
ed position. To the extent that
there is a source of strength beyond
oneself this statement may be
magnified.

We have not disregarded the
meaning of service on our campus;
it is the obvious justifying factor
of every office here which demands
time away from academic work.

But just as it will support the
work of leaders now being elected
for next year, it can well stand to
become re-emphasized for con-
sideration by the candidates in
future elections.

Sincerely,

Lynn Denton

To the Editor:

The question of a creative
impetus on the Agnes Scott campus
has been discussed in groups, and
in this paper. It seems to be a
growing concern.

At this time there is a feeling of
unrest as indicated by the re-evalu-
ation of the college's ideal.

A part cf this restlessness grows
from a need for expression. This
is what is basic to human beings
and to art. that compulsion to
communicate.

It appears that not many find it
possible to be active participants.
This may be due to the ever pres-
ent academic pressures.

It may also be a part of a basic
apathy as to what is going on in
the fields of visual and plastic
arts, music, drama, dance, and
literature.

There does not seem to be audi-
ence for those who do create. I am
personally duly involved in this
| situation. There is a dichotomy in

Senior Reviews Year,
Lists Effect Of Column

By FRANCES ANDERSON

This tired old senior is about to walk away from her type-
writer and Tempo but not with out a few final words.

Perhaps the one main criticism

in some cases have found a solu-
tion to the Reserve Book problem.

You have discussed elections
openly and frankly and have
approached them maturely and
realistically.

Although beginning m a some-
what negative fashion, Tempo
has ended in a positive one. Per-
haps the most important thing
Tempo has done is to "clear the
air" between individual students
and campus organizations. I cer-
tainly hope that each student
realizes that her opinions do
count and that they can be ex-
pressed.

The machinery is set up for con-
tinued communication, continued
expression of each student's indi-
vidual thoughts. The machinery is
well oiled and running for those
changes that each of you deeply
feel should be changed. You are
running that machinery you can
keep it clean and well fueled or
you can let it develop "knocks and
pings" or if you want, you can
slow it down or stop it.

(I am not just referring to
changing major policies, I am
speaking about things like ex-
changes and open elections). It is
up to you. I just ask that you de-
cide what you want and then see
that you act. (And do not say it
cannot be done it can!)

I have tried through Tempo to
write and to reflect student
opinion as best as I could in-
terpret it. And remember, it is
always easier to criticize be on
the negative side of something
than to praise. College students
love to criticize. The difficulty
comes when we seek a solution
to our criticism make our criti-
cism constructive.

This columnist has tried to make
all of her criticism constructive.
The proof of this constructive criti-
cism is how you, dear reader, have
taken this criticism as a cue, and
have acted upon it.

You have kept alive the idea of
exchange with other schools and
next year you will have another
exchange!

There are fewer signs of con-
formity on campus (methinks
fewer Weejuns are being worn
this spring). You have seen to it
that the minutes of all board
meetings are posted weekly.

Sunbathing Facilities
Remain Insufficient

By JULIA PRATHER

There is always a strange feeling when you do anything
for the last time. And I must confess to that same feeling
as I write this column.

I'm not entirely glad because it
has been something I enjoyed
doing. But, I'm not entirely sorry
either because I was just about
running out of things to say.

Partly because of this I would
like to re-ask a question I asked
way last spring. "Can't anything
be done about better sunbathing

facilities?''

People still
crowd onto the
tiny porches of
Inman and Wal-
ters, and there is
never enough
room for all, be-
sides the fact
that the tar
ruins your clothes.

Surely some solution can be
found to this problem. It gets
worse every year instead of better,
and now is just about the time
when we really need a place set
aside for just this purpose.

I suggest once again a cleared
area down by the cabin. This is
away from the campus and near
running water, a telephone, etc.
I'm sure there are lots more
suggestions. Let's hear them so
maybe something can be done.

Goodbyes should be brief so I
will simply say "thank you" and
hope that you have enjoyed read-
ing my column a tiny bit as much
as I have enjoyed writing it.

tion of art. I find it necessary to
continue in my present bent of
producting art; thus promotion be-
comes somewhat embarrassing.

Yet I would be untrue to myself
if I did not promote creativity.

This is a difficult realm to at-
tempt to make a change. It may
also be that I am blinded.

'Recent exhilarating discussions
lead me to believe that others too
are aware. They too seem to
realize something should, can, and
must be done.

The college is now working on a
fine arts building. This will or
should be a vital dynamic means
of reaching a higher degree of
creativity. What happens in this
building in ultimately up to the
students.

There too is no reason why action
cannot begin now to embellish the
ideal behind this construction.

There is also the present transi-
tional period anticipating this build-
ing that needs an outgoing cre-
ative aftmosphere.

My suggestion is that those who
eel a sense of responsibility in pro-
notion of creativity to unite. I
un open to all and any suggestions.
1 am interested in positive action
toward improving present condi-
tions. Contact me if you are in-
terested.

Next year Agnes Scott has its
75th anniversary. It seems a good
time to make this liberal arts col-
lege more fertile in art.

To the Editor:

Once upon a time there was a
herd of sheep who dwelled in a
valley. These were no ordinary
sheep; they were chosen to be a
part of the herd for four years and
then were sent out of the valley,
with a certificate to prove they
were exceptional.

For the most part life in the
valley was quiet andKimdisturbed.
The sheep kept fairly much to
themselves, for they were becoming
enlightened. They did not have
time to bother with what was
happening in other valleys.

Once they did get very excited
when they heard that a bear
was gobbling up sugar cane
which belonged to a nice man
called Sam, but their interest
soon died out because it took too
much time away from their be-
coming enlightened.
Sometimes strange animals were

invited to the valley to educate
these sheep, but their visits were
generally ignored. The sheep simply
did not have the time; they had
enough to do in the valley to keep
themselves occupied.

In addition, the animals who
came very seldom knew as much as
the sheep did (at least that's what
the sheep thought), and, as a re-
sult, the sheep who did hear the
animals had a wonderful time cut-
ing down everything the animals
had said.

It pleased the sheep, all of
whom had come chiefly from the
same social-economic and geo-
graphical background, when they
found out that they seemed to
have the same ideas on each
issue.

All the sheep who lived in the
valley were not equally satisfied
however. One of the main areas
of dissatisfaction seemed to be
that of the forbidden grass. For the
longest time any sheep accepted
into the valley had to promise not
to eat a certain type of grass be-
cause it was bad for them.

This was only one of many pro-
mises which had to be made, but
it above the others caused the
most bleating. The main reason
why it caused so much frustration
was the fact that sheep in other
valleys were eating this grass. Why
shouldn't the sheep in this partic-
ular valley be allowed to eat it,
too?

Time passed in the valley. The
sheep became more and more
upset as they "baaed" among
themselves all the reasons why
they should be permitted to eat
the forbidden grass. When a
strange animal came into the
valley, the sheep would cleverly
maneuver the conversation
around to the topic of forbidden
grass, regardless of what the
animal wished to discuss.

None of this was particularly un-
usual, though, because the sheep
ever discussed anything other than
what was happening in then- own
little valley. One can easily under-
stand why these sheep had no time
for the "mundane" affairs of other
valleys.

They were becoming enlightened
on a variety of their own subjects,
such as the forbidden grass and
what kinds of wool they should be
allowed to wear in certain places.

When they left the valley after
four years, these educated,
"above-average" sheep were able
to tell sheep in other valleys
about all these topics which they
had discussed over and over and
over again for four years.

Let's hope there never comes a
time when one of the "average"
sheep wants to discuss something
other than this unique valley com-
munity. In that case our enlighten-
ed sheep just might be sheared.
Exaggeration? Maybe.
Sincerely,

Lelia Jones

Campus Ends Week
Of Social Emphasis

With all its diversions Social
Emphasis Week proved to be a de-
lightful "kick-off" for spring quar-
ter.

The theme for the week, "Break
Away: 1001 Ways to Kick Your
Heels Up" belongs to the song
"Beautiful Candy" from Carnival,
and was introduced by some Agnes
Scott "nymphs" in chapel Monday
morning.

As they tantalizingly danced
around in pink costumes adorned
with red crepe paper roses, the
nymphs tried to suggest ways
that a haggard Scottie could re-
nounce her drab winter quarter
(study) habits.

Late that afternoon the girls
who had already "broken away"
had their hair set to illustrate
various new hair styles.

All during Monday, the Hub was
the scene of a display and contest
which suggested the fine points of
"playing hostess."

On the table lay 14 unusual
items included in various table
settings, and several students ven-
tured some bizarre identifications
for such items as an asparagus
dish.

In convocation Miss Doris Lock-
erman, columnist for The Atlanta
Constitution, spoke on "Dangerous
Women" and the need for women
to "break away" from the un-
fortunate trend of degrading them-
selves.

Miss Lockerman also suggested
how women can assert to their
capacity their important role in
the world.

Appearing in Walters basement
Wednesday afternoon, a founda-
tion specialist from Rich's present-
ed a lecture and demonstration to
answer "Basic Questions."

Models were on hand to supple-
ment the lecture, and five door
prizes were given away.

In the Hub on Thursday Caryl
Pearson volunteered her services
as the "guinea pig" for the Merle
Norman cosmetic demonstrations.

Carrying out the theme "Too, too
pretty to . . . ," the demonstrators
made up Caryl's face while ex-
pounding upon the merits of their
products.

The "... Time to start singing
for Rhyme" was at the Social
Emphasis Week party in the Hub
on Thursday night. With Kay
Staple ton at the piano members of
the Social Council modeled their
"break away" hats in a mock
Easter parade.

Also on display were accessories
for spring from Joseph Brennen's
of Lenox Square "... Something
you really don't need."

Climaxing this eventful week,
Agnes Scott girls modeled clothes
from Atlanta's J. P. Allen's. The
highlight of this spring fashion
show, a bell-skirted wedding dress,
suggested the boldest "break away"
of all!

That afternoon in the gym Kay
Osborne sponsored an exercise
clinic where girls could literally
"kick up their heels."

ing my column, I'd tell you all
about the new plays in town.
About Norman Krasna's comedy,
SUNDAY IN NEW YORK, at the
Pocket Theater, and about the
Academy Theater's presentation
of . . a wild expose of modern
foibles . . ." by Brendan Behan
and entitled THE HOSTAGE.

Oh! If only
this were still my
column, I'd rec-
ommend that
you see every
movie in town
Mutiny On The
Bounty if you like
a bit of salt with
your sugar; Di-
vorce Italian Style if you prefer
sophisticated comedy; The Court-
ship of Eddie's Father if comedy,
period, and a lovable little boy
will do; David and Lisa, for those
with a taste for the unusual; and
To Kill a Mockingbird for every-
one, because it's a well-done and
all-round good movie.

And finally, I'd remind you
(as if you need reminding) that
Lawrence of Arabia, starring
that devastating Peter OToole,
opens April 5 at the redecorated
Rhodes.

Then I'd inform you of the ex-
citing goings-on in the painter's
world. Do you ever wonder what
the living, breathing artist is
painting at this moment? New ex-
habits will show you that variety
in style and subject are the order
of the day.

At the New Arts Gallery, the
etchings of Gabor Peterde, highly
touted New Yorker, depict deserts
and dark brooding moods, and
leave one with the impression that
they are experimental, unresolved,
in need of fulfillment.

At the Dzirkalis Galleries, a
Cuban exile, Hilda Pardinas, is
showing her portraits of Atlan-
tans (which have been called
wearily conventional, with little
to inspire, whether because of
painter or subject, no one says.)
And at Adair's Gallery, Bill
Bray's encaustics evolve into tur-
bulent, renditions of creation.

Anyway, these three are creating
"art right now," and I could tell
you about them, were this still my
column. I'd just have to mention
one more artistic item. Through
April 16, a loan exhibit from the
Museum of Modern Art, "The
Figure," is on display at the Art
Association.

If only . . sigh . . . There'd
be so much to tell you about!

Like the Southern debut of Allan
Sherman, maker of "kosherladen
comedy" who . . . "musically
traces ups and downs of urban-
it es to the tune of some of the
best known folk songs in the
world." He'll be at the Auditori-
um one night only, April 9, and
will be accompanied by chorus,
orchestra, and Jo (Fingers) Carr.
Or like the Shrine Circus (com-
ing to the auditorium April 12-18).
There'll be clowns and elephants
and acts of all sorts, for those
who like that sort of thing.

But since this is no longer my
column, and as I only have this
last bit of newsprint, I can only
say, "Have fun! I'll see you
'Roun-Town!"

Sports Situation Seems Simple
As Students Support Activities

By MARILYN LITTLE

When we, as Agnes Scott students, examine our environ-
ment we are usually alarmed by the terrible insecurity of
international affairs, the incomprehensible complexity of na-
tional affairs, and the helpless frustration of student life.

Therefore, it is with real pleas-
ure that we analyze the Scott
| sports situation,
| because it, in con-
trast, is unbe-
I lievably simple,
I encouraging, and
reassuring.

The past year's
sports activities
at Scott are sam-
ple: they are
based on one major tenet, that of
having fun.

Certainly no one who played and
watched sports like Volleyball,
Hockey, or even Hub Sings, did
not enjoy them.

Since everyone thus has under-
stood, and further, put into actual
practice the central idea of all
these activities, the simplicity of
the whole situation has become
really admirable.

The past year's events are en-
couraging because they prove,
first of all, that the legs of stu-
dents who lead primarily sedentary
lives are not vestigial structures
after ail, and that we can still
move rapidly and even skillfully.

Furthermore, it is encouraging
that people still want to be active,
when given a simple choice be-
tween apathy and activity.

This was proved when partici-
pants in basketball frequently out-
numbered their spectators (a fact
which has been noted in previous
issues).

The last and most important
aspect of these sports is their in-
spirational quality.

It is truly reassuring to realize
that with frustration, disillusion-
ment ,and dissatisfaction on all
sides (from Letitia Pate's daily
fare to Quiet Hours), we can
nonetheless derive genuine enthusi-
asm about something.

In hard play and heart-felt sing-
ing, there has appeared a spirit
of fellowship and fun that is vir-
tually unmatched.

It is with high hopes, therefore,
that we can look forward to a new
year in sports activities.

Please make it a point to par-
ticipate and to show your spirit (if
for no other reason than not to
forget how to get enthusiastic).
Few things are so simple,
cou raging . . . and FUN.

Self Study Findings
Answer Questions

By NELL TABOR

The Self Study 1961-1963 re-
port is on reserve in the library
. . . don't deny yourself the oppor-
tunity of finding out what the stu-
dents and faculty really have to
say about our campus life, their
praises and suggestions for im-
provement.

Is there anywhere a student
who, at sometime or other during
the courses of the Freshman re-
search paper, Tom Jones, endless
rounds of meetings, or a Saturday
night studying in Walter's base-
ment, has not wondered what
Agnes Scott is really trying to do?

Where does this round of study-
ing, "compulsory" teas, and special
emphasis week end?

Read 'The Purpose of the Insti-
tution" as it has evolved and been
expressed by Dr. McCain in 1925
and by Dr. Alston 35 years later.

How is the school meeting the
established purpose? Is it? Two-
thirds of the faculty think that
a nine hour course in art, music,
and/or drama should be required
of the Agnes Scott students.

What about the sixteen stu-
dents who answered in the affirm-
ative to the question "Do you ever
feel that you have nothing to do?"
"Was the conception of the col-
lege which you held upon arrival
essentially correct?" . . . 125 mem-
bers of the class of '65 last year
said "yes." What did YOU say?

These reports are now avail-
able for you to read, enjoy and
judge the validity of your per-
sonal comments on the school. It
is an education in itself!

Dr. Rupert Vance, Professor of
Sociology at the University of
North Carolina, spoke Monday,
April 1, here in Buttrick Hall. His
topic was "The South: Prospect
and Retrospect." Mr. Vance will
also speak tonight at Emory Uni-
versiity.

By BETSY ANDERSON

"Winship Hall' has been chosen
as the name of the $700,000 dormi-
tory now being built on South
Candler Street.

The name was selected "in rec-
ognition of the helpfulness of mem-
bers of the Winship family over
many years, but particularly of the
distinguished service rendered by
George Winship as Chairman of the
Board of Trustees during the years
1938-1956," in a resolution adopted
by the Executive Committee and
unanimously approved by the
Board of Trustees in December.

Thus, Agnes Scott honors one of
her most devoted patrons. George
Winship, one of Atlanta's first
citizens until his death in 1956, was
a strong leader in both the spiritual
and material life of the campus.

Described as "modest and re-
tiring," he was "a man of faith and
of strong Christian character . . .
. . . connection with the College
was widely known and was a great
asset to the institution," said the
administration of Agnes Scott at
his death.

George Winship spearheaded a
building program during which
Presser Hall, The Frances Win-
ship Walters Infirmary, Bradley
Observatory, Evans Dining Hall,
Hopkins Hall, Campbell Science

GEORGE WINSHIP

Building, and Walters Dormitory
were erected. Main, Inman and Re-
bekah were renovated at a greater
expense than their original cost
during the same period.

The assets of the college in-
creased from $3,500,000 to $12,500,-
000 during the 18 years he was
chairman of the Board of Trustees.

He and the late Frances Winship
Walters, an alumna and trustee
of Agnes Scott were cousins.

Business manager P. J. Rogers
Jr. has "no doubts" that the new
Winship Hall will be finished in
early August and furnished when
students arrive next fall.

Spring, with its warm weather,
has brought a spurt of renewed
construction which is rapidly mak-
ing up for the five weeks lost due
to the unexpected cold winter
weather.

Plans for the building were dis-
cussed for several years before
they were drawn in their final form
last summer. Construction began
October 3.

The cost of the dormitory, in-
cluding furnishing and architect's
fees, will be about $700,000.

The three floors of living area
will include 70 double rooms and
six single rooms; there will be
suites for three senior residents.

Lounges on each floor will open
onto a kitchen-laundry area.

The ground floor will include
study areas and offices for the dean
similar to those in Walters.

Atlanta architects Ivey and
Crook designed the modern Gothic
building.

Barge and Company, which has
been involved in most of the build-
ing on the campus since 1949, sub-
mitted the low bid for construction
and was awarded the contract.

1 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, April 17, 1963

Nous Entrons

A newspaper is responsible for everything it prints.
This primary law of journalism is one which we as the
editors of the Agnes Scott News for 1963-1964 now take as

our way of life. We must see
that all stories are factually
correct and virtually un-
biased.

We must make certain
that each aspect of the col-
lege is portrayed in such a
manner that those on camp-
us and those on our mailing
list will be able to ac-
curately see this institution
as it truly is.

Although our news stories must be concise and precise,
we must see that our columnists present views which are
indicative of the opinions which are stimulating and aggra-
vating students on the campus.

In addition, our editorials must contain interesting ideas
which will cause others to think at least twice about the
opinions thus expressed.

We pledge ourselves to accomplish these requirements.

Our staff, although still in the formative state, represents
a cross-section of the student body which, we believe, will
enable the News to sense the currents of thought and con-
cern throughout the coming year.

Our columnists represent a range of views and back-
grounds which will undoubtedly make for a diversity within
the newspaper editions themselves.

Our editorial policy at present is in an essentially fluid
state. We are not dedicated to any one path and will prob-
ably remain thus. This does not mean, however, that we
will not take stands on various important and "touchy"
subjects.

We pledge that we will consistently seek to express our
views on controversial subjects. Contrary to most college
newspapers, we have no limits as to the types of subjects
which we present nor as to the opinions which we must
have concerning these subjects.

As our own censors we of course feel the intense respon-
sibility even more than many fellow editors of censored news-
papers do. Yet this responsibility enatoles us to stand behind
our opinions in a way not possible in other institutions.

In the course of the year we will undoubtedly criticize
many facets of college life as we see it, bvit we pledge to
attempt to offset this negative attitude with a more posi-
tive one. Thus, we as a staff of editorial writers will always
thoughtfully search for a constructive suggestion to
remedy the situation about which we complain.

Yet one aspect of the law of journalism has been largely
ignored that which pertains to the "everything it prints."
We of the staff are dependent upon you, the students, to give
us the news which we print.

Without cooperation and criticism of the student body
any campus newspaper is nothing but a piece of paper to
be left in the mailbox or thrown on the mailroom floor.
We certainly are no exception!

We will constantly need throughout the coming year of
work communication between the News and the students.

We do not ask that you agree with our editorial policy,
in fact we hope that in some instances you will disagree
with it, for often disagreement indicates that the process
of thinking has occurred.

Our Letter to the Editor column is always open to any one
who would like to express an opinion. All letters under 300
words which clearly and maturely express a valid opinion
and are signed will be printed if the News feels that it can
be held responsible for the views discussed.

These requirements do not mean that we will not print
those letters which do not express opinions similar to our
own but that we still feel strongly the responsibility of the
press and the aura which a work assumes once it is in print.
Names will be withheld if requested.

The straight news stories describe you, the student, and
it is from you that we must obtain our information. The lines
of communication on both sides must remain open at all times.

Thus, the staff of the News pledges itself to reflect Agnes
Scott, its values, aims, opinions and gripes. But you who com-
pose the college also hold in your hands the power to make
or break this newspaper.

We need your help! N.B., M.L.L.

lfna*in* Bdlter 1CARY LOU LAIRD

By ANN KENNEDY

Hello. As your new Hub-Bub
columnist, I would like to take
this opportunity to congratulate
the Agnes Scott student body.
The students have decided to
emerge from
their own little
world of quizzes
ind papers which
dominated the
preceding quar-
ter (and are per-
haps best for-
gotten) and greet
the wonderful
world of Springtime.

April 10 was an important
milestone in the life of the
Agnes Scott student. On that
day she turned in her question-
naire to Dr. Alston.
In this questionnaire she could
freely express exactly what she
thought about the social policies

of the school

She was allowed to agree or
disagree with the school's stand
on drinking and apartments some-
place other than impromptu
Hub discussions. This time she
knew she would be heard by those
who counted.

Dr. Alston has revealed that a
gratifying 474 out of 660 thought-
fully answered, signed and re-
turned their questionnaires.

This seems to indicate that
the apathy with which many
were concerned last quarter may
have been only a product of

their imaginations.

Perhaps it indicates instead that
Spring is conducive to enthusiasm.

Whichever is true, the result is
that these questionnaires show
that the students are really inter-
ested in the school.

The faculty has expressed in-
terest in the project and will
be given the same questionnaires
to answer.

Also to be questioned on the
subject are the parents of all stu-
dents, a cross-section of alumnae
of recent graduating classes and
some interested friends in the At-
lanta area.

Next fall there will be a com-
mittee appointed to review the
findings and make recommenda-
tions to the Board of Trustees.
It seems that there will be a
lot of excitement in store for us.

All this is possible because the
students were interested enough
to fill out their questionnaires and
let the administration know what
they think.

However, the job is not yet
over. Dr. Alston has said that he
is always ready to talk to any
student about this matter. He
hopes that the students will not
be hesitant to come see him about
it

Now that the ice has been
broken, each student should make
sure there is not a late freeze.
Spring is here in all its beauty
and excitement. Winter Quarter
is mercifully a thing of the past.
"Happiness Is Spring Quarter!"

Weather Brings Chances
For Outdoor Picnics, Fun

By LYNNE MILLER

In addition to the long-awaited
pleasant weather, spring brings us
many exciting
activities, espe-
cially those of the
out-of-doors va-
riety!

PICNICS on
the rich green
grass or broad
flat boulders
head the list of
things always fun to do. (Have
you been to Soap Creek or Yellow
River?) And there are excursions
to the many beautiful lakes near
Atlanta for water skiing, boating,
sunbathing, and SWIMMING!
Sunny af t t mnm In GRANT

PARK eating peanuts and watch-
ing the animals (and the chil-
dren!) can be delightful now
before the weather is too warm,
and everyone should see the
CYCLORAMA at least once.
Of course, the sky lift at Stone
Mountain offers one of the newest
and most breathtaking additions
to springtime fun. Be daring and
take the ride both up and down,
or for more fun, try walking down!
The recent progress they have
made there is amazing! And be
sure to see the newly opened plan-
tation, Stony Acres.

In a slightly more active vein,
remember the wonderful SPRING
SPORTS especially golf and
tennis and the possibility of bi-

hands under ultra-violet light in
the middle of the night, just go
and sit outside, or sunbathe, if
you can find room.

There are some other things,
such as the Diet -Cola machine in
the Hub, that deserve cheers all
the way around (particularly by
those of us who are concerned
about how far we are around).
And no one could complain
about the movie offerings in
Atlanta, or Easter at home, or
pink dogwood (or white dog-
wood, for that matter).
There are also more important
good things happening as seniors
find jobs, juniors see the end
finally coming into view, sopho-
mores have Tom Jones behind
them and look to their majors,
and freshmen become really active
parts of the campus as they take
on board and other extra-curricu-
lar responsibilities.

A new feeling of freshness is
also coming in with the new
ideas of the recently-elected
student government officials.
Even classes seem to be affected
by the overall optimism. With the
summer in view and new chances
to pull up those winter quarter
mistakes, it doesn't look half as
bad as before.

Just because this is a period of
general optimism, it is also a
chance to make some spring reso-
lutions. It may not be a New Year
on the calendar, but it feels as if
it is.

Many things are very good on
this campus we would not
be here if we did not think so,
but there Is also room for con-
structive criticism.
Tempo is meant to be an outlet
for student opinion and communi-
cation, and it is now the time to
resolve to look objectively at more
things than just the drinking and
apartment policies.

Considered ideas are always
welcome; I have the typewriter
ready.

cycle excursions all around and
horseback rides!

And if you're not quite that
type, spend an hour RIDING with
the windows open or the top down
through the residential areas of
Atlanta and Decatur (West Paces
Ferry Road in particular) and
notice the fresh green and bright
new colors popping out every-
where, along with the housewives
and gardening gloves!

Or find an Emory student
who'll take you to the CAND-
LER ESTATES.

Or quick, before they are gone,
run and see the magnificent tulips
and the windmill in HURT PARK!
With the fountain spraying rain-

loveliest spots in the city.

Or on your way from one gay
shopwindow to another, duck into
the PET SHOP (There's even one
at Lenox) and inspect the new
little spring animals especially
those of the fluffy, cuddly variety!
Even the fish, and particularly the
birds, are appealing in the spring!

Or splurge and spend the day
at IDA CASON'S (in Pfoe Moun-
tain, Ga.) You'll find it well worth

Volleyball Game Inspires Poet j
As 'Phantoms of Delight 7 Romp

By MARILYN LITTLE

LINES COMPOSED WHILE STUDYING ENGLISH 211
AND CONTEMPLATING VOLLEYBALL SEASON . .
(With deep apologies to Wm

Wordsworth ) .

She was a phantom of delight
Clad in her gym suit, wrinkled and
tight,

A lovely apparition, sent
To start a moment's argument;
Her eyes as stars of make-up
fair;

Like make-believe, too, her frosted
hair;

A once thin shape, full of Sprite,
All things else about her drawn
To Playtime on the Hockey lawn.

And now at last the game begins,
The once-bored spectators sit on
pins;

The ball goes almost as quickly as
breath,

Could be those Scotties smoke
sticks of death;

Each player firm, from Temperance
and will,

Endurance,
and skill?

What perfect women, truly stretch-

A Scottie, yet a woman too!
Her Volleyball serve was light and

A product of virgin liberty?

Sweet victories, forfeits just as

For any class typical brood;
From transient sorrows, simple

Praise, blame, love, kisses (?),

Professor To Give
Mysticism Lecture

Dr. Walter T. Stace, the current
University Center Visiting Scholar,
will speak at 4:30 p.m. on April
19, in Maclean Auditorium on
"Mysticism: East and West."

Professor Stace was born April
17, 1886, in London, England, and
has spent much of his life in serv-
ice for his country.

He was a member of the British
Civil Service in Ceylon from 1910
to 1932, coming to Princeton Uni-
versity as a lecturer in 1932. He is
now Professor Emeritus of philoso-
phy at Princeton.

The history of Greek philosophy,
the philosophy of Hegel, the mean-
ing of beauty, the theory of knowl-
edge and existence, and a concept
of morals are among his fields of
special interest and qualification.

His published writings are "A
Religion and the Modern Mind,"
"Time and Eternity," and "The
Gate of Silence."

New Officers Hold
Leadership Retreat

The leadership retreat which
Mortar Board holds annually for
the incoming school officers will be
held this afternoon from 4:30 to
7:30 in the cabin.

In past years this Retreat was
primarily for the purpose of hand-
ing over each association's books
to their new officers, but this
year it will be different, and, of
more benefit, according to Nancy
Rose, president of Mortar Board.

This afternoon a panel will dis-
cuss "The Responsibilities of Being
a Leader", and Nancy Rose says
that a genuine effort will be made
to get beneath the cliches and glib
phrases and down to the very
essence of leadership on campus.

After an informal supper, Dr.
Alston will talk and answer ques-
tions on whatever topics arise.

Company Gives
Plays In French

"Women are on earth to tell
men that they are handsome." A
re-play of last week's date? No, a
theme from Jean Giraudoux's
"L'Apollon de Bellac," one of two
French plays being presented on
Thursday, April 18, at 8 p.m. in
Presser Hall.

Also on the agenda is "Orphee,"
by Jean Cocteau. Supposedly based
on the Greek legend of Orpheus,
this play follows the imaginative
and mysterious turns of the au-
thor's creative mind.

Walking through mirrors and
hanging in mid-air, in accordance
with the script, is the Treateau de
Paris, a company touring the
United States and appearing in At-
lanta for the second time.

Agnes Scott students may recall
the company's performance of
"Huis Clos" and "La Cantatrice
Chauvre" at Emory last year.

Tickets for this year's presenta-
tion are $1.50 for students and
$2.50 for adults.

"The orchard-keeper's dog
neither eats nor lets one eat." This
saying is the basis of the title of
Lope de Vega's "The Dog in the
Manger", which Blackfriars will
present April 26 and 27 in Gaines
Chapel.

The play centers around the con-
cept of honor, both personal honor
and social reputation.

Ann Daniel plays Diana, a
Spanish noblewoman who is in love
with her secretary, Teodoro, play-
ed by Angela Lancaster.

She reveals her love in her
jealousy of Teodoro's courtship of
Marcela ( S tokey Cummings ) .
Diana's marriage to Teodoro is
made possible by the invention of
a false title for the secretary.

The central plot is complicated by
various subplots. Two *iitore,
Ricardo (May C. Brown) and
Federico (Pamela Gilbreth) are in-
volved in a plot to murder Teodoro.

Myra Morelock plays Tristan, a
quick-witted Spanish picon*. This
comic character adds i^Murkling
humor to the play.

Blackfriars dipped into ita re-
sources to have elegant period cos-
tumes made for the production. Mr.
Singdahlsen is in charge of pro-
ductions, and Corney Bryant is stu-
dent director.

Miss Winter, the director, is tha
supervisor of the entire production.

Tickets are one dollar in ad-
vance and may be obtained from
any Blackfriars member.

Mock UN Forum Seats Red China

Amid cheers, clapping, and sign
waving from the Soviet bloc na-

the United Nations during the
Model UN General Assembly held

proposals submitted by several na-
tions.

Deiegates representing 44 differ-

Op

en Line

This week the officers for the year '63-64 step into their
new positions. It is their responsibility to represent us as
well and as fairly as possible.

They are pledged to do this. But they
cannot represent a student body successfully
unless the students themselves show an
active interest in campus affairs.

The recent questionnaire success proves
that a large number of students are vitally
concerned about the school (at least in some
areas of its life).

But the success of the poll stems from
one factor which is not always present open communi-
cations.

This newspaper can provide that needed factor if the stu-
dent leaders and the students will lend it their support. ^
For example, the boards could plan the topics of their
meetings in advance and post them in the Mail Room and
announce them in The News.

Through this rather simple procedure several unpleasant
episodes could be avoided easily (remember the Sweat Shirt
Crisis. Fall '62?)

If a group of students happens to oppose a board's dis-
cussion of a certain subject, this method would give them
the chance to be heard before a final decision is made, not
afterwards when it is too late.

If individual opinions are heard before decisions are
made, the all-important lines between the boards and the
students will be strengthened and developed.

Also, our type of self-government will become even more
representative of the views of a better-informed student body.

The News can help to provide more information for the
students, but the co-operation of the boards and other or-
ganizations is needed.

Let us hope that this next year will be a very "communi-
cative" one. M.L.L.

Road To Peace?

" . . . Neither war nor the threat of war can any longer
be successfully used to settle international disputes ..."

This is an excerpt from the "statement of purpose" of a
newly created (1958) organization known
as the Student Peace Union. Its bulletins,
which you may have noticed, perhaps read,
on the boards in the Hub and the basement
of Buttrick, were placed there by a young
man from UNC who came to Atlanta a few
weeks ago in order to case Agnes Scott's
concern for the world situation and its
potential interest in the SPU's approach to
a solution.

The SPU, he says, is an organization which, unlike many
of its facsimiles, has been investigated and cleared by the
Congressional Committee. Although anyone must draw
his own conclusions based upon astute analysis, this young
man's particular remarks led me to consider him (and
possibly the SPU) as much more realistic, reasonable and
sincere than any preconceived opinion of "peace move-
ments."

He does not seem to be willing to turn the American way
of life over to the Communists, he does not criticize every
policy of the U. S. government, and, most significantly, he
does not seem to believe that the SPU approach is an in-
fallible and certain mass reform.

The SPU. according to him, feels improvement in the
world's critical situation must begin with the smaller prob-
lems of ordinary life of domestic (U. S.) economic, edu-
cational and social areas of strife and laxity.

The most important effort, he believes, must be made in
education in making young people aware and concerned
about the good and the less desirable situations existing
under each system of government, and of their ability
to influence these situations.

That. too. is all this editorial attempted to do: to oresent
one approach which I hope my readers will analyze, criti-
cize accent or reject, or just wonder about.

The SPU approach to world peace mav not be the onlv
wav for conscientious Americans, or other citizens, to choose.
T very seriously wonder if it is the best way .esnocially
for me. Ts it for vou?

T would like to suggest certain trickv questions vou COuW
trv answering: What is education? How important is "Ameri-
can" to vou? What are you really against in life? How can
you achieve what you are really for 9 Is it worth risking

Fond Farewells Mar
Charmed Paradise

The unfortunates, however, did
not lead such a charmed life.
Instead, their thoughts were on
schoolwork and card games.
They had no young men to take
them out in the evenings. They
were not so happy.

In this paradise, there was a
horrible monster who preyed on
the young fortunates. His name
was Late Time Limit. He waited
silently every night until a certain
time and tried to gobble up the
young fortunates who had not bid
their young men farewell.

This monster caused unhappi-
ness among the young
fortunates.

By ANN KENNEDY

Once upon a time in the spring
there was a paradise inhabited by
many lovely young ladies. These
fair young creatures were divided
into two groups, the fortunates
and the unfortunates.

The fortunates were the girls

The young ladies did not like
to leave their young men because
the ugly monster told them to, but,
because they feared the punish-
ment of Late Time Limit, they
complied with his orders.

However, each night they waited
were filled with as long tas P 0 ^ 01 *? to tell their men

iences. They were their good-byes, the un-

fortunates were trudging back to
Mieir humble abodes. As they pass-
ed their fortunate friends under
the light of the romantic street-
lights, they hoped that these young
ladies and young gentlemen might
take pity of them and speak com-
forting words to them.

Exams start five weeks and three
days from today. It may seem a
little early to start worrying about
them, but it is not too soon to
wonder where the exam schedule
is.

Since Agnes Scott regularly be-
gins the summer
recess a week
later than many
other schools, it is
particularly im-
portant for us to
know exactly
fwhen we will be
through with
exams so that
plans can be made.

Some of us have been told to
report for summer jobs on June
3. Obviously this is impossible,
but just when can we tell our
employers we are free?
Others have the same problem
with summer schools, and must get
permission to register late . . . but
how late?

The daughters of the military
among us must apply for orders to
join their parents overseas . . .
and may just have to assume they
cannot leave until the last minute
of exams, possibly wasting several
days here in Atlanta.

Even some seniors want to
know whether they will have
time to go home between
exams and graduation.
I can go on and on with this, in-
r- hiding the student who wants to
be in a wedding, even her own pos-
sibly, and ran not be sure whether
she will be free, leaving everyone in
doubt; the student who wants to
make reservations to travel; and
even the student who would just
like to know so that she can try to
prevent the last-minute pile-up
that comes when all her exams
are in the first three days.

Why can't the schedule be
worked out and posted sooner?
One reason is that student sched-
ules do not get in on time.

Surely the call-down system now
being used should help a great
deal . . . but last quarter when it
was used the schedule did not get
posted until the usual late time.

Couldn't student schedules be due
at the same time as blue cards at
the beginning of the quarter?

If they could be turned in at the
registrar's office, when you have
your blue card with them and so
can check course numbers, many
more would be in on time.

Another way of speeding up
the process would be to have
the penalty, like that for blue
cards, be one dollar if they
came in late.
Call downs are social penalties
and should have nothing to do with
the academic regulations.

With all student schedules in by
the first week or so of class, the
Dean's staff could arrange the
examination hours and have them
posted before the rush of new stu-
lent government officers and room-
ing plans becomes too great.

Something needs desperately
to be done about this situation.
Let us hope it will be soon.

TTTTTTTTT

B. O. Z.

DEADLINE

MAY 1

However, the unfortunates
were doomed to disappointment.
The happy creatures were too
engrossed in their own happi-
ness to pay heed to the poor
unfortunates.

The unfortunates could only hope
to learn about the other side of
the world by picking up the crumbs
thrown them by the fortunates
after they had escaped Late Time
Limit and were safely back in their
rooms.

The young fortunates never did
learn that their unfortunate friends
did not like to walk by and see the
happiness on the faces of the lucky
young creatures.

The romance of the glow of
the streetlights was lost on the
unfortunates. Their eyes were
too clouded with embarrass-
ment.

Oh, the unfortunates thought, if
only our happy friends could find
some time earlier than the bewitch-
ing hour to say their fond fare-
wells.

If only these goodbyes were some
place other than in the glow of the
streetlights.

Then we could be alone in our
misery and would not have it point-
ed out to us every evening.

Aren't we at Agnes Scott lucky
that we don't have this problem?
Aren't we fortunate that our
girls in love realize that they
should say their "fond" fare-
wells some place other than on
the public sidewalks in front of
their dorms?

about life and religion.

A.S.C. Chaplain Views
School's Religious Life

By DOTTIE STRUMPF

Contrary to popular thought,
Reverend Harwood Bartlett, Epis-
copal chaplain to Agnes Scott stu-
dents, has not been an Atlantan all
his life.

After being born in New York
City where he spent the first six
years of his life, he moved to Balti-
more for a year and then to Bloom-
field, New Jersey.

Five years in Bloomfield brought
him to Atlanta where he has been

Scholar To Lecture
On New Testament

"Professor Gun t her Bornkamn of
the University of Heidelberg, Uni-
versity Center Visiting Lecturer in
Bible will speak in Convocation
May 1 on the topic "The Under-
standing of Freedom in Greece and
Primitive Christianity."

One of the foremost New Testa-
ment Bible scholars in Europe, Dr.
Bornkamn is best known in
the United States as the author of
a study of the life of Christ, Jesus
of Nazareth.

At present Dr. Bornkamn is Pro-
fessor of New Testament at the
University of Heidelberg. He has
also held positions at the Uni-
versity of Marburg and the Uni-
versity of Gottingen.

During World War II the Nazis
deprived Dr. Bornkamn of his
teaching positions, so he served his
countrymen then as a minister in
various churches.

While on a world lecturing tour
Dr. Bornkamn will be in Georgia
from April 29 to May 3.

During his visit in the Atlanta
area Dr. Bornkamn will speak at
Candler School of Theology Thurs-
day, May 2, at 10:00 on the subject
of "Paul's Doctrine of Faith."

On Friday May 3, he will speak
on the subject of "The Christology
of Paul" at Columbia Theological
Seminary at 10:00.

ever since with the exception of
three years in the Air Force and
three years at Virginia Theological
Seminary.

Here he became involved in
many organizations such as Boy
Scouts, drama, and was elected one
of the Episcopalian representatives
to the North Fulton Student Chris-
tian Fellowship, which was found-
ed during his junior year.

From North Fulton Woody' s
academic pursuits led him to Geor-
gia Tech with an interest in me-
chanical engineering, but he
changed his major to mathematics
before going to Seminary.

Asked if he had any general
plans about his work at Agnes
Scott, Woody replied that his in-
terests lay not in overfall projects
but rather in individuals, and how
he as a chaplain might be of help
to those who seek him out.

On the subjects of academic and
religious apathy on the campus,
Woody said that he had not been
conscious of the former and, as
for the latter, stated, "Interest in
religion runs in cycles. Certain
courses and experiences lead people
to think more deeply than usual
about God and religion.

He went on to say that he
thought apathy was caused by a
loss of the capacity to "get involved
in things, and to give oneself to
people."

Senior Class Plans
Annual May Opera

The traditional Senior Opera will
be varied this year to present a
comical take-off on Greek tragedy.

Present plans, though incomplete,

Gaines Chapel.

The students, with Nancy Gheesl-
ing in charge, are writing the script
themselves. The play has no title

World Awareness Group
Polls College For Opinions

World Awareness Committee is a
new organization on campus this
year. Its goal is to stimulate the in
terests of Agnes Scott students in
all fields of the world around
them.

Politics and the UN are not the
only concerns of World Awareness;
it is also interested in the current
trends in art, literature, music,
theatre and religion.

Tuesday night questionnaires
were given out at House Meetings.
These questionnaires give students
an opportunity to express their
opinions and to give suggestions to
the committee.

The results will be compiled and
sent to the Boards.

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.

minutes to speak at a time; how-
ever, if another nation wished to
cede its time to the nation speak-
ing, this could be done.

The debate was mostly carried
on by the delegations from the
United States and the USSR.

Amid alternate cheers and hiss-
ing and much note-passing be-
tween delegations, the representa-
tives debated whether Red China
should gain a seat in the Assem-
bly and, if so, what would be
done concerning Nationalist China.

When the resolution was called to
a vote, there was some confusion
over exactly what it entailed.
Admittance to UN

After the assembly voted (25-
yes, 16-no, and 3 abstentions) to
admit Red China, Secretary-Gener-
al Sarah Hodges clarified the ques-
tion by stating that as a result of
the vote as it was, Red China would
gain a seat, while Nationalist China
would retain the one that it
occupied.

The question of whether Na-
tionalist China should lose its
representation in the United Na-
tions was a question for another
debate.

A committee report on an eco-
nomic study of underdeveloped
countries followed, after which a
recommendation was submitted
that each nation reappraise its
economic and social development

In this way the World Aware-
ness Committee can serve as a
source of ideas for the Boards, and
the Boards, in turn, can present
programs on subjects which are out
of their regular jurisdiction.

World Awareness Committee also
acts as a pool for the ideas which
are expressed by the Boards and
the students.

The Committee can help the stu-
dents relate the things which hap-
pen around them to one another
and to themselves.

Mary Jo Winterle, Chairman of
the World Awareness Committee,
stresses the interest this group has
in each organization on campus.

World Awareness committee
works to help the various campus
organizations publicize their activi-
ties so that the entire student body
can be aware of the opportunities
on our own campus.

If the organizations will notify
World Awareness of their special
activities, the Committee can then
help them spread the word to the
students.

This past week-end World
Awareness Committee sponsored
the Agnes Scott Model UN General
Assembly.

Next year World Awareness pro-
jects will include fields other than
political ones.

and support the work undertaken
in less developed nations while
the UN agancies be given more
authority and be allowed to co-
operate more closely.

Disarmament
The last item on the agenda was
a debate on proposals for disarma-
ment in which each nation was
given the opportunity to present a
proposal or comment upon the
proposals offered by other delega-
tions.

The United States opened the
debate with a proposal providing
for a 30% reduction of all major
arms, nuclear and conventional in
a 3 -point program, which would
eventually result in total disarma-
ment with mutual security for all
nations involved provided by inter-
national inspections.

The delegations of India and
Turkey commented upon and offer-
ed suggestions for revising the
proposal.

The USSR felt that it could not
agree with the provision for inter-
national inspection and asserted
that no inspections should be made
in a country after its compliance
with the first requirements for dis-
arming; inspections should be made
only of the arms destroyed, not of
the remaining stockpiles.

End of Assembly

The debate was not near resolu-
tion at the end of the allotted time,
so no vote was taken.

In summary, the disarmament
question seemed to be on the
type, number and description of
weapons to be banned, the inspec-
tion of retained arms, the possi-
bility of nations' beginning to
build up arms again, and the
maintenance of peace in a world
disarmed.

When the debate was closed,
Sarah Hodges made closing re-
marks, after which the delegation
from Britain asked for a vote of
thanks for Sarah's and Nancy's
work.

(Raising hand to

tha, just let me
say this: There
1 is a bond be-
tween us, which

fuily express and
may even destroy.

Therefore, let us leave this on
a purely emotional basis, so that
each of us can feel, and thus,
know that it exists, without
ever having to confine some-
thing so fine and so wonderful
to words."

Martha: "Marilyn, I think I . . ."

Marilyn: "Please. Again, Martha,
this is something we feel. Why,
Martha, don't you see that this
is that which separates man
from the lower animals?''

Martha: "Well. I don't . .

Marilyn: "For man is the only
animal that is able to pass in-
formation, experience, and what-
have-you to new generations.

Furthermore, when two peo-
ple, such as we, share an experi-
ence, such as ours, they also
share something that those
around us could never under-
stand . . ."

Martha: "Speaking of those
around us, Marilyn, do you have
anything you would like to
say . . ."

Marilyn: "To the masses I would
say, 'Let them eat cake!' n

Martha: ^Marilyn, to our read-
ers?"

Marilyn: "To our readers I would
say . . ."

Martha: "Marilyn, why don't you
tell them about the tennis
doubles tournament or the
faculty-student tennis tourna-
ment now going on? Or how
about the fun-filled archery
shoots and the exciting volley
ball games?"

Marilyn: "Yes, Martha, these are
all exciting events, but as you
have probably noticed I have
tried to stay clear of the purely
factual side of the news; instead
I have tried to make the column
into one of ideas. For, Martha,
by using our column as a medi-
um for transmitting ideas, we
serve as a link in the chain which
joins men across the ages, as a
preservation of human civiliza-
tion. Now, Martha, one last
thing: there is something which
has helped me during times of
stress, which I would like to
pass on to you ..."

I regret that we must cut off
this lively discussion so abruptly,
but we have no more room for it

However, if anyone is interested
in finding out exactly what has
helped Marilyn in times of stress,
she has intimated that she is at
all times most willing to share her
secrets.

Because of this willingness and
extraordinary cooperation on her
part, I have, as you can see just

Hensel Directs
Club's Concert

The Agnes Scott Glee Club,
under the direction of Richard
Hensel, will give its spring concert
May 24, featuring two songs by
Brahms and some American folk
songs.

The main work will be a modern
cantata, "Rejoice in the Lamb," by
Benjamin Brittain which will be
accompanied by Raymond Martin
on the organ.

The words to the cantata were
written by the eighteenth century
poet, Christopher Smart, while he
was in an insane asylum.

The theme of the cantata is "the
worship of God, by all created be-
ings and things, each in its own
way."

The work has been called "brilli-
ant, but chaotic in parts."

For the concert, Hensel has ar-
ranged "Oh Dear, What Can the
Matter Be?" and "On Top of Old
Smokey."

He also wrote the chapel re-
sponses that the Glee Club has
sung this quarter.

Seniors Elect
Life President

Nancy Rose has been elected
lifetime president of the senior
class of 1963. Sarah Stokes Cum-
ming will serve as the first secre-
tary.

The lifetime president works to
carry over the continuity of each
class into the alumnae organiza-
tion.

Miss Ann Worthy Johnson of the
alumnae office said, "As Agnes
Scott has no sororities, the class as
a unit has special significance.

"The lifetime president serves
as a liason between the college and
the class."

The president presides over the
regularly scheduled reunions,
handles much of the class business,
and sends a letter each year to the
alumnae.

The secretary serves from re-
union to reunion, at which time a
new secretary is elected.

It is her function to gather news
items for the "Alumnae Quarterly"
and then compile information
about the alumnae for this pub-
lication.

For the first time, the Class of
1963 will have a new officer, the
fund agent, who will be appointed
by the president of the class.

It will be her responsibility to
urge her class to participate in the
Agnes Scott fund. She will not be
appointed until July.

By SALLY POCKEL

The spring performance of the
Dance Group to be given at 8 p.m.,
May 10, is experimental and quite
advanced.

Miss Kay Osbume, advisor to
the group, has been particularly
insti-umental in helping the mem-
bers of the group work out the
choreography.

The costumes were designed by
Anneke Schepman, Kay Osburne
and Mrs. Schepman.

The lighting will be directed by
Susan Richards and Lenora Wick-
er. Accompanying the dance num-
bers will be Suzanne West at
piano.

The performance will be divided
into two suites.

The first suite is based on the
theme of emotions. There will be
seven separate dances within this
suite. The first dance will express
fury.

Included in this dance are
Anneke Schepman, Nancy Duvall,
Paula Savage, Diane David, Linda
McElfresh, Kate Shearer, Andy
Pfaff and Charlotte Wyohe.

The second dance is based on
complacency and performing in this
are Janie Fincher, Arnall Broach,

Betsy Dykes, Sue Bpps, Bobby
Trammel, Cony a Cooper and Leslie
Hawkins.

The next dance will be a solo
by Anneke Schepman on the sub-
ject of humor.

The next number, on loneliness,
will be done by Nancy Duvall,
Debby Potts and Ann Rogers.

The love of a mother and child
will be the topic of the next dance
with Janie Fincher and Caryl Pear-
son.

Andy Pfaff and Paula Savage
will present the emotion of self-
love in the following dances, and
Kay Osburne and Katie Shearer
will end the first suite with a num-
ber on antagonism.

The second suite will be based
on negro spirituals with no dis-
tinguishable breaks in the basic
theme. The entire dance group will
be included in performing the sec-
ond suite.

The performance will be held in
Gaines. No admission will be
charged to students and faculty.

Those not affiliated with the col-
lege will be charged an admission
fee of one dollar for adults and
50 cents for children.

This weekend Agnes Scott stu-
dents beheld the alumnae, the illus-
trious products of years gone by.

The alumnae in their spring suits
and flowered hats provided a sharp
contrast to students in tennis shoes
and madras.

All alumnae, whether of the class
of '13 or of '62, are interested in
the college as it is today.

Lecture Series

This year for the first time Dr.
Alston conducted a panel on ques-
tions by the alumnae on every facet
of college life, from social regula-
tions to the building program.

Miss Eleanor Hutchens C40)
also conducted a discussion by
seniors of existing social, academic,
and religious moods on campus.

Other faculty lectures for the
alumnae by the faculty covered
many fields of academic life.

Mr. Cornelius lectured on the
future of southern politics, a field
in which he has done extensive re-
search.

The organ guild, under the direc-
tion of Mr. Raymond Martin, pres-
ented a program of church music,
and Miss Marie Huper talked on
"the international language" of art.

Miss Sara Ripy presented a

lecture on the way to understand
the new math.

A study of Marcel Proust's Re-
membrance of Things Past" was
the topic of Miss Chloe Steel's
lecture.

There were two lectures on the
tragedy of Othello.

Dr. Hayes discussed Shake-
speare's treatment of Othello, and
Michael McDowell spoke on Verdi's
opera "Otello", which was present-
ed Tuesday during the Atlanta
opera season.

Class Reunions

The Alumnae Association was
founded in 1895. Six years ago the
annual meeting was moved from
commencement to the spring.

All classes are invited to the
meeting, but certain classes hold
special reunions.

This year the classes of 1913,
1938, 1953, 1958, and 1962 were
holding their "milestone" reunions.

On the "Dix Plan" classes who
attended Scott at the same time
also meet.

The classes of Miss Scandrett,
Miss Leyburn, Miss Winter, and
Miss Bridgeman are holding re-
unions this year on the Dix Plan.

A Few Suggestions

Course selection week is once
again here and with it come head-
aches, disappointment due to time
conflict of choice courses, and
final victory when the course card
is finally filled out.

With this week also come many
complaints concerning the range
in choice of subjects for the forth-
coming years as many subjects
which had previously been con-
sidered by some as possible parts
of their schedule fail to appear in
in the roster of prospective 1963-
64 courses.

Many of these courses are
eliminated due to lack of in-
terest shown by students. Many
fall by the way because of
equally good courses which con-
flict in time. Others do not
appear in the new catalogue due
to the unusual times which they
have been offered.
Students oftentimes express a
dislike of classes which meet at
12:10 p.m. (too near lunchtime),
2 p.m., 3:30 p.m. or later. Besides
conflicting with campus activities,
these subjects are offered at times
when students say they are "too
sleepy" to attend class. Of course,
this same excuse is heard in re-
lation to 8:30 a.m. classes.

By our own laziness or lack of
proper emphasis on one of the
most important parts of a college
education classes we are
constantly narrowing the field of
offered courses.

Yet there seems to be a lag
in the vitality of the courses
themselves.

Colleges throughout the United
States are currently experiment-
ing with various new forms of
teaching. This experimentation ex-
tends not only to the use of vari-
ous machines in grammar schools
but also encompass the field of
higher education methods as well.

Agnes Scott has to some extent
revitalized her curriculum.

The new system of teaching
addition which is now being em-
ployed in many grammar schools
has just recently been intro-
duced in classes here.
The independent study programs
instituted during the past few
years are another innovation which
have added much to the present
curriculum.

More needs to be done in this
field. We would like to see the
freedom which has been extended
to seniors through the study pro-
gram be widened still more.
This could be effected through
the introduction of a group of
seminars dealing with specific
subjects which cut across vari-
ous fields of interest.
These seminars, which are cur-
rently being held extensively at
colleges and universities in the
North and East, could be modeled
after those which were offered to
alumnae earlier this year.

Certainly the professors on
campus are well versed in areas

By

NANCY
BRADFORD

which would lend themselves well
to the seminar approach.

Possible topics could include
"The Russian" with emphasis on
aspects of the U.S.S.R. as seen
through its history, literature,
and economy. Another topic
could be "Latin America Today"
with members of the history,
sociology, art and Spanish de-
partment emphasizing various
aspects of the life of these
southern neighbors.
We would suggest that these
seminars be held in the spring
quarter. Students could then do
additional reading during spring
vacation on the seminars which
they are scheduled to attend.

Perhaps the first few days
which students return from va-
cation would be the most con-
venient. The problem of class
attendance could be solved by
registering for the seminars prior
to vacation. The class roll could
be checked the first day.

The purpose which these
seminars would perform would
be several-fold. Students unde-
cided about their majors could
delve more deeply into the vari-
ous fields of interest within the
specific subject since in many
introductory courses so much
time is spent with basic me-
chanics that illuminating the
prospects of the major is neg-
lected.

In addition upperclassmen al-
ready emersed in their majors
could obtain an idea of the rela-
tion of their field of interest to
others.

Within the bounds of the cur-
riculum itself we would suggest
that students and faculty consider
the possibility of strengthening
the Russian studies of the school
by offering a course in the me-
chanics of the language.

Another welcome addition
would be a course on the chang-
ing political and geographic pic-
ture of the African nations. Al-
ready offered are courses on
Latin America and the Far East.
We firmly believe in the in-
herent worth of the curriculum
already offered here. We feel that
the professors perform their duties
with skill and devotion. But dur-
ing the forthcoming year, the
75th anniversary of the founding
of the college is the time for look-
ing ahead as well as to the past.
In doing so we would attempt to
enhance still further the worth
I of the college. N.B.

In the freshness of springtime
after the horror of winter quarter
the fancies of young men seem
to have turned to Scotties, and
Cinder ellas are turning up every-
where.

The spring holidays were the
magic 'time for Martha Booth and
Betsy Schenck.

Martha, a freshman, received a
ring from Bill Burleigh, an Am-
herst College graduate.

A senior, Betsy is engaged to
James Davis, who is studying at
Union Theological Seminary at
Richmond.

Fran Welch is engaged to Bill
Force, a Tech graduate now work-
ing in Augusta.

Also proudly displaying her dia-
mond is Margaret VanDeman
She is engaged to Charlie Black-
mon, a graduate of Georgia Tech
now living in Marietta.

Dee Chandler and George Bulgin,
a familiar couple on campus, have
moved their wedding dale up to
May 2 because he has been un-
expectedly ordered to Korea.

Anita Yount is wearing a Delta
Upsilon pin belonging to Fred
Sturgis of Georgia Tech.

Also proud possessors of pins,
Becky Beusse and Martha Doom
are both pinned to ATO's; Becky,
to Bobby Holman at Tech and
Martha, to Chris Bentley at
Emory.

Nancy Crosland's smile these
days is for Jack Taylor of Emory,
whose SAE pin she is now wearing.

The whole of next year will be
most memorable to the Scotties
who have been elected sweetheart
of their favorite fraternities.

Barbara Chambers is the new
sweetheart of Chi Phi at Emory.

Three fraternities at Tech se-
lected girls from Scott.

The sweetheart of Sigma Chi
is Lynne Miller.

Beta Theta Pi has chosen Myra
Morelock, and Linda Mullens was
the choice of Sigma Alpha Epsilon.

To the student body,

I have received a questionnaire
from the Student Council of Saint
Mary's College, Notre Dame, Ind.
which is making an "effort to feel
the pulse of women's education in
particular areas."

The following are some of the
questions asked:

1. Do the students think that
they are challenged in the following
areas:

a. by their teachers.

b. by their friends.

If challenge is lacking or present
can you describe it?

2. Can the intellectual attitude
of your students be characterized
as active or passive?

3. Is there a sharing of ideas
between the upper and lower class-
men?

4. Do you consider your student
government only as a service or-
ganization?

5. As students are you regarded
as maturing individuals both in
and out of class or only in class?

I believe these are questions
which have a vital relevance to us
at Agnes Scott and would like to
answer them accurately and fairly.

How would you answer them?

ASC Library Offers
Books For Leisure

With the coming of Spring
Quarter and a new spirit of en-
thusiasm, there should be also a
new emphasis on the use of our
spare time. After the English
paper has been written and the
math homework done, the student
should have time to stop and won-
der, "What can I do now?"

The answer to this question is,
"You can go to the Agnes Scott
Library and get a good book to
read."

At least, this is what the answer
should be.

The Library continually gets
new books which they put on
rental until the books pay for
themselves, at which time they
go into stacks. This rental is only
two cents per day, certainly a
small sum to pay for hours of en-
joyment.

I was browsing through these
rental books the other day, which
was not hard to do since most of
them had not been checked out. I
ran across many that I would love
to read, and I thought that many
other people would enjoy reading
them too.

For humorous entertainment,
there is "The Reivers" by
William Faulkner. One com-
ment about it is: M 'The Reivers'
is, with no reservations whatso-
ever, one of the funniest books
in our literature."
For those who like to read about
famous people, there is Charles
Van Doren's "Letters to Mother."
Van Doren has collected hundreds
of letters that people have written
to their mothers, for he said, "If
there is anyone in the world whom

we should not have to deceive . . .
that person is our mother." "His
words explain why this is a book
crammed with surprise, shock,
humor, tenderness, sorrow, love,
and desperation." Sounds fascinat-
ing, doesn't it?

There is also "The Judas Tree"
by A. J. Cronin, "an engrossing
story of a man beset by a supreme
egoism which affects his entire
life."

For deeper but not dull read-
ing, try Cleveland Armory's
"Who Killed Society." . . ."Here,
best of all, is the generation-by-
generation saga of the doings
and undoings of America's
Good Families, the ones," as the
author says, "that used to be
better."

These are just a sampling of the
wonderful selection our library
has. It is now making plans for an
enlarged recreational reading sec-
tion next fall. However, don't wait
until then. Go to the Library now,
look through these books as well
as those in the stacks and enter
into the enchanting world of
reading.

whatever interests you, but

Ex Post Facto

Last week "Time" featured an article, "End of the Chase,"
describing the apprehension of a former SS Captain, Erich
Rajakowitch.

Once the legal expert for Adolph Eich-
mann, whom the Israeli government re-
cently convicted of crimes against humani-
ty, Rajakowitch managed to escape arrest
as a war criminal at the end of World War II.
Many assumed that he had perished
somewhere on the Eastern front.
Now almost two decades later his un-
fortunate association with the Nazi move-
ment still remains an obstacle to his freedom.
It happened that Eichmann when under custody mentioned
to several alert Israeli investigators that he had encountered
his friend in Buenos Aires sometime after the war.

Thus the search gained momentum until Simon Wiesen-
thal, chief of the Jewish Documentation Center in Vienna,
located the Nazi "war criminal" in Milan, Italy.
Apparently Rajakowitch, alias Enrico Raja, was living
prosperously and unobtrusively in Milan where he had estab-
lished a lucrative business handling metal imports from
Communist Eastern Europe.

When both the Italian and Austrian government refused
to extradict Rajakowitch (he is legally an Austrian citizen)
Wiesenthal ran the story to Italy's most prominent news-
paper and placed so much pressure upon him that the for-
mer Nazi finally gave himself up.

After expulsion from the Lake Lugano area, Rajako-
witch appeared in Munich with the explanation that he
was tired of being hunted down and preferred to "clear
himself."

Instead of clearing him, the Israeli authorities are holding
him under arrest for his particular role in a war that took
place nearly twenty years ago.

Without excusing Rajakowitch's share of responsibility
for the notorious brutality of the Nazis, we can still ques-
tion the equitability of singling out individuals to answer for
the suffering that a mass movement inflicted.

How can we blame one or even a few individuals
for a program of atrocities whose success resulted from the
support and participation of a much greater number? L.H.

Now that we are confronted
with the crucial decision of living

We spend fall quarter accustom-

"But there are thirteen of us
and we want twelve singles."

"Can we have a triple and a
double next to each other so five

By DIANE PULIGNANO

It's common knowledge that Ag-
nes Scott devises hundreds of
ways to keep the theme of honor
before her students.

Perhaps the most delightful way
yet devised was Lope de Vega's
"The Gardener's Dog," presented
Friday and Saturday nights by
Blackfriars. All credit for delight,
however, goes to Blackfriars and
to Blackfriars alone.

Having only a worn-out plot,
and competing with Georgia Tech's
Greek Week, they somehow drew
a fairly large audience both nights
and kept interest high.

Charming costumes and Mr.
Singdahlsen's excellent backdrop
held attention when Lope de
Vega failed.

A primary source of delight for
the Saturday night audience was
the chain. When the chain was
supposed to come apart, it would-
n't; when the chain was supposed
to stay together, it came apart.

The actors showed remark-
able stage presence in the face
of such calamity. Pam Gilbreath
quickly adlibbed, and Myra
Morelock, in but one of many
incidents where her natural
Shakespearean spirit poured
forth, gave the audience a look
that should be printed in the
stage directions and passed on to
posterity.

Despite their efforts to make a
mountain out of a literary mole-
hill, the actors never quite lost
their own identities and became
the characters that they were por-
traying.

Lope de Vega saw Diana and
Teodoro embrace; Scott students

of us can room together?"

"I want to live in the new
dorm, but if there aren't enough
singles there, we all want Re-
bekah, unless they paint Inman
then we want to live there."
"Miss Scandrett says our group
will have to spread out. Won't it
be awful to be separated at dif-
ferent ends of the hall ... in
Hopkins?"

"I've got a radio and a hair-
dryer, and I'll room with anyone
who has a record player and a
coffee pot."

"I want a room in Walters
that isn't near the stairs, ele-
vator, telephones, bathrooms,
Hub, or garbage cans."

"But they say three judicial
representatives can't triple!"

"Do you realize whose back yard
is practically in the south end of
the new dorm?"

"I go to bed by ten every
night and she usually stays up
until six or seven a.m. and then
sleeps all afternoon. Maybe we
could use a single in shifts."

"But I've got a pink bedspread
and she has a red one and that
room is yellow."

"I'm number 642 on the regis-
tration list; I guess I'll be living
in Walters basement."
Happy home-hunting!

saw Angela Lancaster and Ann
Daniel embrace and couldn't
quite defend the situation to their
snickering dates. Nancy Bruce,
limping affectedly, rather than
effectively, was still Nancy Bruce.
The fault was not entirely
Blackfriar's, however.

When 'an actor's lines failed
miserably to carry the onlooker
into the spirit of the play, it was
too easy for the onlooker's mind
to wander to the perfectly hysteri-
cal thing that the actor had said
in the Hub yesterday.

The characters of Lope de Vega
couldn't compete with the per-
sonalities of Agnes Scott College.

Special interest, totally un-
planned for by Lope de Vega,
was aroused by the lines, "Oh,
honor, I curse your name. What
a thoughtless invention to cut
so cruelly across our natural
inclinations."

Publicity during the week re-
peatedly included the phrase,
"Lope de Vega, contemporary of
Shakespeare." A smart move,
psychologically, but his play bears
witness to the fact that his con-
nection IS in time and certainly
not in talent.

All the talent is in Blackfriars.
It must be acknowledged if s
a point of honor.

Posey Finishes
Auburn Series

Dr. Walter B. Posey of the his-
tory department will return today
from Auburn University where
he has completed a series of five
lectures dealing with the "Religion
of the Old South."

Dr. Posey spoke to the members
of the college on "Churches in the
New Land," "Civilizing Forces of
the Church," "The Church Searches
for Members," and "Slavery Di-
vides the Church." He presented
these topics before the group dur-
ng lectures held Monday and Tues-
day morning and afternoon.

In an evening lecture Dr. Posey
presented "The Heroic Age in
Southern Religion".

This series is presented by
Auburn for the first time in lieu of
a special Religious Emphasis Week.

Opera Week is finally here!

After the first two great operas
presented Monday and Tuesday
nights, there is still more to come!
These operas will satisfy the
tastes of all opera buffs.

Tonight brings Wagner's Die
Meistersinger. Wagner wrote his
own libretto for this work. Here
he created a work whose salient
features are humor, gentleness,
glowing warmth, joyfulness.

In Die Meistersinger we are
no longer in Wagner's custom-
ary world of gods and legendary
heroes, but are in that of hum-
man beings whose problems are
those of the real world.

There is a human quality here
which we find nowhere else in
Wagner. The story is quaint, rus-
tic, and 'thoroughly charming.

Mussorgsky's Boris Godunov is
the Thursday night presentation.
If any single work can be said
to realize the artistic goal of the
Russian rational school it is
Boris Godunov. This opera de-
rives its subject matter from
Russian culture and history,
and its music from Russian folk
songs and dances.

Godunov is enhanced by colorful
ballet scenes. For his lyricism
Mussorgsky went to Russian folk
songs and liturgical music, adapt-
ing their individual rhythmic and
harmonic traits for his own pur-
poses. He also devised a melody
that followed the inflections of the
Russian language.

Brilliant costumes, an elegant
ballroom, and unforgettable
waltzes will be the highlights on
Friday night in the production
of Strauss' operetta Die Fleder-
maus.

Scoff Plans Survey

A china survey and tea will be
held for all students from 3:30 to
4:30 p.m. on Monday, May 6, in
Rebecca Reception Room.

The sponsor of the survey, the
Syracuse China Company, will give
60 to Agnes Scott Student Govern-
ment if 80 to 100 girls attend.

As an added attraction, an $85
china tea service will be given
away either to a campus organiza-
tion or as a door prize.

One of the most popular operet-
tas of all time, Fledermaus has

often been performed in the major
opera houses of the world. When
first produced in 1874 the work
was a failure.

Soon after its Vienna premiere
it was performed in Berlin and
was a sensation. Its international
popularity soon followed.

Mascagni's Cavalleria Rusti-
cana and Leoncavallo's Pag-
liacci will be the double-bill
Saturday matinee. These one-act
favorites are highly melodic and
beautifully contrasted.

Cavalleria is highlighted by a
beautiful aria by Santuzza which
is followed by a solemn procession
from the church and the famous
"Intermezzo."

Pagliacci has charming and
emotional music; the final cur-
tain after the aria "Vesti la
Giubba" falls upon the weeping
Pagliacci and and a weeping audi-
ence.

These two operas have striking
points of similarity in musical
style, and in the emotional tur-
moil of their stories. But it is im-
portant to notice their points of
difference.

To his opera Leoncavallo
brought a refinement of writing
and a poetic feeling as weD as
occasional comic relief not found
in Mascagni's Cavalleria. The pop-
ular soprano Eileen Farrell will
sing Santuzzo in the Mascagni
work.

The Saturday evening presen-
tation will be Puccini's Tosca.
The libretto is by Giacosa I Mica.
Tosca did not at first seem the
kind of drama that suited Puc-
cini's talent, which up to now
had been at its best in tender
and sentimental plays.

Tosca was lurid, willed with
horror, sadism, murder and sui-
cide. However, with the true dram-
atist instinct Puccini changed his
style to meet the demands of the
play.

His beautiful lyricism was far
from forgotten. The overall effect
of Tosca is one of compelling
drama, but several of its arias
are among the most memorable
that Puccini ever wrote.

Opera Week of 1963 will cer-
tainly prove one of the most
exciting ever 'Roun Town.

Converted Yankee Writes Home
Of Southern Sports Experience

They say that Yankees don't
understand the South.

As we Yankees strike back at
this in defense of our pride, among
other things, we sometimes say I
things we later wish we hadn't
said; at other times, however, we
say just THE thing to say and,
while we really do get very ex- 1
cited about the whole affair, we
must hide these feelings, as we
are hardy, rugged people, to whom
life is not a frivolous thing (sort
of the strong, silent type).

Just to disprove this popular
misconception, our editors have
graciously consented to allow the
following letter, which is deemed
the typical Scottie, writing typi-
cally to her typical loved one, who
is typically far, far away from
her, to be reprinted in this, the
A. A. NEWS column.

It goes thusly:

Dearest Rhett, honey,

Sugah, you really must come
by and say, "Hey/' to yo* L'il
ol' Belle sometime soon. If you
could only see the beautiful
magnolias!

And if you had only been heah

Freshman class triumph ovah the
Juniahs in volleybahll!

You remember Ah told you be-
foah about volleybahll? It's a

und, and th' othah on the othah

Th'ahll take this big ol' bahl,
which goes back and f oahth ovah

at it with thhyah ha-nds.

Really you must come soon,
as theah ahr only two moan
weeks of it. Jus' to keep you
up to date, as it stands now, the
Soph-a-moah class is in first

hrunt gaemes and lost only

The freshman and the j union
classes ahr tahd fo' second place,
each having won two games and
lost two. The senioh class, alahs,
has lost three games, but they did
win one!

And Rhett, sugah-dumplin', if
you had been heah last week, we
could've seen togethah the hohse

matter of fact that is just what
it was called, The Stone Mountain

Ah'm so excited, tew, Rhett,

Quartets" and Nancy wrote on
Ishmael in "Moby Dick."

The Southern Literary Festival
consists of 31 member colleges or
universities who are each eligible
to submit two manuscripts in the
categories of short stories, poetry,
formal essays, informal essays, and
one act plays.

After a preliminary contest on
campus Agnes Scott submitted
manuscripts in all categories ex-
cept one-act plays.

The festival is held for three days
in the spring on the campus of a
member institution. Seminars are
conducted for each category. This
year Eudora Welty conducted the
seminar on the short story.

All Agnes Scott students are eli-
gible to submit manuscripts for the
preliminary campus judging.

Information concerning applica-
tion to the festival judging will be
announced during the fall quarter.

R.J. Martin To Obtain
May Doctorate Degree

Raymond J. Martin of the music
department will receive his Doctor
of Philosophy degree May 21 from
the School of Sacred Music of
Union Theological Seminary in
New York.

The subject of Martin's disserta-
tion is "The Transition from
Psalmody to Hymnody in South-
ern Presbyterianism, 1753-1901."

These dates were chosen because
of their significance in Presbyter-
ian music.

In 1901, "New Songs and
Hymns" was published, using the
word "hymn" in the title.

This hymnal was edited by
Joseph Maclean for whom Maclean
Auditorium is named.

Psalmody received its first offi-
cial mention in the Presbyterian
General Assembly in 1753.

Martin had not expected to re-
ceive his degree until October of
this year. He hopes to attend the
ceremonies in New York later this
month.

Esprit De Corps

Plans for the 75th Anniversary celebration are now under-
way!

Yet before most of the students on campus become in-
volved with the details of the celebration itself is the time
to attempt to obtain a detached ond overall view of just
what the celebration is all about.

The immediate reason is, of course, obvious. Agnes Scott
College during 1964 will be 75 years old. Yet why celebrate
this occasion with such illustrious guests as
C. P. Snow, Wernher von Braun and Ferenc
Nagy, former minister of Hungary?

A clue to this huge year-long commemora-
tion of the founding of this college can be
found in the topic about which most of the
speakers have been asked to deal.

They will all discuss the next 25 years in
their fields, dealing with the various philoso-
phies and scientific developments which
t . :. - they individually will predominate.

Thus, the 75th Anniversary will be not only a time of
looking backward to what this college has meant to the
past but a forward glance to what it hopes to be in the
future.

The role of Agnes Scott in the past is self-evident. It has
long been one of the most revered, small, liberal arts schools
in the South and in the nation.

So often we as students here become so concerned with
the tiny, relatively unimportant details of campus life
that we lose our perspective.

Subjects which have concerned us this year becomes less
important when one views the promise of the next 25 years.
Will the line in the dining hall, the heating situation in our
rooms, the noise of the elevator next door or the fact that
we have beef for five straight dinners really matter at the
end of this period?

Will even the fact that we cannot go to men's apart-
ments under certain conditions, drink in the Atlanta area
or stay out until 3 a.m. on Saturday make that much
difference with this perspective in mind? Perhaps to some
people they will, but the chances are slight.

Perhaps, one may say, these are conditions which we can
change more easily through intensive concern than plans
which will help determine the role of the school in society
during the next quarter of a century.

Is this true?

We do not think so.

The recently formed student curriculum committee is
but one of the ways in which we can advocate and execute
plans which we as students have for the school.

Another is through the campus campaign which will prob-
ably be held during the winter quarter next year. Financial
support will have the foreground during this period, but are
not finances only a manifestation of an inward emotion?

For some reason we came to this school; we felt as
though it could give us something which we lacked.

Now is the time to take stock of the situation, to see if
indeed we have received what Scott has to offer and if what
the college has to offer is adequate.

The answer to the question is an individual one but we
believe that for most of us the answer will be that indeed
Scott has something to offer whether it be material or
nontangible.

The campaign, then, is a means whereby we can pledge
our support both monetarily and mentally for the future
which we believe the college has in the next 25 years.

For this reason the Agnes Scott News will support the
campaign. N.B.

To the Editor:

In answer to your scathing re-
view of the recent production of
Lope de Vega's 'The Gardener's
Dog," I should like to question the
authority of your writer to con-
demn Lope.

It is perfectly within reason to
condemn the actors, scenery, or
costumes as related to the play,
but to say, without studying the
play or truly understanding it, that
the author fails is unfair.

Your writer has taken "honor"
out of context and applied it to our
college honor system.

The "honor" Lope spoke of is
that of blood and family; the
"honor" your writer speaks of is to
self and is not governed by the
same rules whatsoever.

If your writer attended only the
Saturday night performance, she
did see the lesser of the two shows,
and she is right when she says that
the actors never quite lost their
identities.

The Saturday night audience
would not allow them to. It is com-
mon knowledge that a play never
goes across to a cold audience.

I am afraid your writer will be
forced to bow before greater critics
in speaking of the play. Black-
friars bows in favor of Lope de
Vega.

Untied Hands

It may not have occurred to even the most informed stu-
dent on our campus but in most colleges and universities
today the student body, in the form of a student curriculum
committee, shares the responsibilities of college curriculum
with a faculty committee and the administration.

Agnes Scott has formed such a com-
mittee and in doing so has increased the
influence and responsibility of the student
body immeasurably.

In order to explain the importance of this
organization it is necessary first to become
acquainted with its powers and functions.

The Student Curriculum Committee is
analogous to the Faculty Curriculum Com-
mittee in all accounts.

It has been formed for the purpose of receiving the vari-
ous academic departments for the purpose of perhaps sug-
gesting revision in course content or even a revision of the
whole academic approach to a certain field of study.

The committee will not allow itself to become a tool for

the relief of personality conflicts.

However, this is the only restriction which it has placed
on itself.

The freshman courses are of particular interest to the
committee because of the campus-wide indication that they
are, for the most part, repetitious and often without stimu-
lation.

Dissatisfaction has not been limited to freshman courses
and should not be.

The students are requested to examine their various fields
of study and appraise them carefully keeping in mind that
there now exists an organization through which revision
can be perpetrated.

The students' hands have been untied.

If the content of a certain course is for any academic
reason unsatisfactory to you it should be reappraised at
a higher level and will be at your request.

Courses not being offered at present but which in your
opinion should be offered need to be considered by those
responsible for departmental content.

The Student Curriculum Committee is also interested in
securing visiting scholars and lectures for a longer period of
time than one or two days.

This is the students' opportunity to have a voice in what
most of their tuition is being spent on and in what they
primarily are here for.

The success of this committee will reflect the academic
interest of the students and will reveal the real reason that
led us to this campus.

Is it education or something else? Let's hear it! S.J.P.

at 4 p.m.

Sunday brings the Cathedral
Bellringers of St. Phillips at 2 p.m.
(an excellent performance don't
miss it!) and the Atlanta Civic
Ballet and the Atlanta Choral
Guild at 8 p.m.

And still on the subject of art,
until May 26 an unusual exhibi-
tion of contemporary European
and Oriental Art from the Albert
B. Block collection, as well as a
collectin of dynamic Israeli Ab-
stracts by the Jewish painter
Olga Freudman-Rodo are being
show by the Atlanta Art Asso-
ciation. It should be worth even
a trolley ride to see them!

Saturday night will be a par-
ticularly rich night for those with
a taste for the unusual. Joan Baez
will be presented at 8:30 p.m. in
the Morehouse College Gym in a
benefit performance which will be
recorded by Vanguard Records (in
case you've never been to a live
recording session!) and the con-
cert promises to be a thrilling one.

At 8 p.m. T. S. Eliot's "Murder
in the Cathedral" will be presented
by the St. Bartholomew Episcopal
Players in their newly designed
altar and chancel at 1790 LaVista
Road, and the Gregorian chants
used in the play will be taken
from recordings of the Trappist
Monks at Gethsemani Monastery
in Kentucky. The decision could be
a difficult one!

For the movie-goers there are
also some adventures in store!
"Sundays and CyBele," the Acad-
emy Award winner for best
foreign films, begins tonight at
the Peachtree Art. French schol-
ars should find the French dia-
logue challenging while the rest
of us frantically read the English
subtitles!

"The Ugly American" at the

Loew's is a powerful movie, de-
parting slightly from the book by
conveying essentially the same
feeling. One scene is filmed in a
large Buddhist temple in Thailand
and gives a beautiful view of the
temple interior and a large gold
Budha in the earth -pointing
mudra!

Those who will be near Atlanta
this summer can plan ahead for
"Cleopatra" which opens June 26
at the Roxy. Especially exciting
will be the Theatre Under The
Stars beginning July 8 and in-
cluding "Music Man," "Call Me
Madam," "Flower Drum Song" and
"Carnival."

Class of 1963

Here we are ladies and gentle-
ment, roving around the Agnes
Scott College campus in Decatur,
Ga., where in every corner
people are huddled, speaking in
hushed tones.

Let's sidle up a little closer and
see what could possibly be so in-
triguing.

Aha! Eureka! We should have
known. What else?

This is the ides of May meaning
only two days until Senior Opera.

Obviously, everyone, but EVERY-
ONE, is thinking, talking, wonder-
ing what she is going to wear.

Let's ask the girl standing on
the grass by a "PLEASE" sign
what she is going to wear.

"Young lady, this is your roving
society reporter, roving! What are
you going to wear Friday night
when the Class of 1963 presents
their magnificent production of
"The Tragedy of Or kin and
Eureka?"

"E-e-e-e-e-e-!"
"Young lady!"
"E-e-e-e-e-e-!"

"Well, E-e-e, I'm planning to
wear my divine chartreuse polka
dotted formal with dyed-to-match
P. F. Flyer tenni-pumps. Do you
think that will be dressy enough?"

"Yes, young lady, that should
easily get you a seat in the Dress
Circle. Thank you."

Now, ladies and gentlemen, We'll

line. "Pardon me, young lady?"

"Get out of my way!"

"But, young lady, I'm not on
the dining hall squad, I'm only in-
terested in what you're going to
wear on Friday night when the
Class of 1963 presents its magni-
ficent production of "The Tragedy
of Orkin and Eureka".

"Oh, well in that case! I'm so
glad you asked. I'm going to wear
a gorgeous black sequined culotte
cocktail dress, red patent leather
loafers, and one of Smack Factor's
newest shades of lipstick Lusci-
ous Lime!"

"Thank you very much, young
dadfy, You can resume your fight
for a place in line now."

And now, why don't we rove over
to Buttrick Hall where anyone who
is ANYONE (EVERYONE) has
classes.

"Pardon me, sir, I notice you're
lecturing about what you're going
to wear on Friday night when the
Class of 1963 presents their magni-
ficient production of The Tragedy
or Orkin and Eureka.

"Would you mind giving a brief
summary for the edification of the
general public and your stu-
dents?"

"I'll be glad to. As you know, we
faculty members like to maintain
the academic atmosphere in every
phase of campus life.

"Therefore, I'm going to wear an
cademic tuxedo, my academic hood
(which my wife has embroidered
with many varieties of academic
spring flowers especially for the
occasion), my Phi Beta Kappa key,
my ODK key, my Hi-Y pin, and
my Boy Scout penknife!"

"That sounds very academic, sir.
Thank you."

Well, seems we're all out of
space, so until Friday night when
the Class of 1963 presents its mag-
nificent production of "The

of Buttrick in order to get my
check cashed.

It was a desperate race
against time.

I felt like an Olympic runner,
complete with tennis shoes.

However, I was again doomed to
failure. Again I was unable to get
in under the line and make it to
the Treasurer's Office before it
closed.

So, with tear in eye and pain
in stomach, I walked slowly over
to the dining hall to break
bread with my fellows who were
also unable to beat the clock.
Many people have this problem.
Many people are unable to get to
the Treasurer's Office before 12:01.

Perhaps they have a quiz at
11:10, as I did, and need all time
before class for last-minute cram-
ming so they can remain at Agnes
Scott and eat more hamburgers!
Perhaps they were running
late and did not have time to
check their mail until after
chapel time.

Perhaps they didn't realize that
they had to have a certain book
from -the bookstore, and when they
realized their need, remembered
that they only had 12 cents to
their name.

Maybe they had a deep-seated
desire for a coke after lunch (be-
fore 1:30 when the Treasurer's
Office re-opens) and found only
an old movie stub in their billfold,
which, unfortunately, is not
enough payment for the Coca Cola
people.

There are many possible rea-
sons. Each person has her own.

We are all together in this. We
must fight!

If there is a good reason for not
keeping the Treasurer's Office
open until 12:15, I do not know it,
but I would certainly like to.
These desperate leaps are
dangerous to my physical stam-
ina and harmful to my mental
well-being, since they give me
a terrific sense of defeat. Also,
they are tearing up my tennis
shoes.

I would like to suggest that the
Treasurer's Office remain open for
business until 12:15, if possible. If
not, at least until 12:05. I'm
getting faster each time, and who
knows, someday I may make it!

Future Promises AA Specials;
AA Presents Awards at Picnic

There have been many and vari-
ous reactions to this column.

There have been many clever and
original slogans thrown our way,
such as "Yankee Go Home!" and
"Forget it, Martha!", just to men-|
tion a few.

But somehow I have managed
to keep cool, calm, and clear-
headed in the midst of this
strife.

I have restrained myself and
remained silent and unprovoked.

This admirable reaction on my
part has brought out the more
noteworthy elements in the com-
munity to rally in support, clam-
oring, cheering, making sugges-
tions and requesting more special
columns.

Well, naturally, I received
many more requests and ideas
for special columns than I could
possibly use.

Therefore to be fair about the
whole situation, I listened thor-
oughly engrossed, to each indi-
vidual suggestion, but made no
promises.

Then I filled a barrel (actually
it took several to hold all of the
suggestions) with all the sugges-
tions, which had been written on
slips of paper, and decided that
for each issue I would draw out
a suggestion.

That way, I figured, it would
be surprising and fun for all of
us!

This week's surprise is that there
won't be a special column.

Instead it will be an attempt at
straight reporting of A.A. News
(there seem to be quite a few
suggestions along this line, which,
I have heard rumored, were made
by the members of A.A.).

In any case I must tell you
hurriedly NOT to miss the A.A.
community picnic this afternoon
whatever you do!
There is going to be a volleyball
game between the newly-picked
varsity volleyball team and the
faculty.

The awards for the year's sports
will be presented.

And you don't want to miss
Anneke Schepman's singing,
backed up by Betty Hood on the
tiple, Sylvia Thome on the har-
monica and Juanita McCanless on
the guitar!

Another special feature of this
is the traditional gifts from the
AA. board to the faculty children.

If only they will be able to enjoy
playing with their gifts half as
much as we enjoyed picking them
out!

Now that I've worked you up,
I feel certain, to a very high emo-
tional pitch with only part of the
story of fun that awaits you this
afternoon, be sure to go.

Accusing any inconvenience of

One of the current gripes is a
familiar one: the books in the li-

with sex).

Internationally Speaking

Columnist Discusses Merit
Of Controversial DeGaulle

By GUEST COLUMNIST
LYN LINDSKOG

DeGaulle, giant mystery leader
in the Western World!
What makes him tick?

No one knows, not even the
French and obviously it doesn't
worry them half as much as it
does the rest of the world.

DeGaulle remains perhaps the
greatest example of French indi-
vidualism today, and his love for
"La Douce France" rests at the
base of all his actions selfish,
tyrannic, uncompromising may-
be so but a politician, a leader
through and through, undoubted-
ly a man of unquestionable cour-
age.

No matter how hard a slap in
the face he received with regard
to his Common Market attitude,
no one can deny that the Gen-
eral has done much for his
country and may well be on
the way to doing twice that
much more.

French economy has greatly
been stabilized, thanks to De
Gaulle, and Algeria is no longer a
weight around France's neck
two of the more obvious reasons

why the French aren't about to
oust their chief d'etat!

De Gaulle may be looking after
De Gaulle, but France is his first
and foremost love. What will hap-
pen when De Gaulle drops out of
the picture another question
no one can answer.

Adopt the French attitude and
the problem will solve itself

casual shrug of the shoulder

ture" judgment to read whatever
we please.

All of these rumors are distor-
tions and come from ignorance.

The books behind the circulation
desk are there for a very prac-
tical reason: if not protected they
are "borrowed" from the stacks
without being signed out.

They have not always been

kept off the stacks, though this

method of protection is used in

many other libraries.

About ten years ago it was dis-
covered that all these books had
been taken and had to be re-
placed.

In order to make sure that they
would be available to anyone who
wants them, they have been placed
behind the desk and must be re-
quested.

Anyone may check them out,
and none of us should be embar-
rassed to do so; the library asks
no questions and does not impose
any restrictions on who may have
them.

In order to make students
aware that these books are
available, Mrs. Byers is putting
a list of them in a convenient
place, possibly with the periodi-
cal list at the main desk.
Students have also been con-
cerned that the library does not
own copies of such controversial
books as "Lolita" and "Lady Chat-
terly's Lover."

Annual Prizes

Annual awards of various clubs
were announced in convocation to-
day.

The Sigma Alpha Iota Dean's
Award was presented to Nancy Lee
of Atlanta who was the 1962-63
president of the Agnes Scott chap-
ter of the national musical frater-
nity. The award is judged on gen-
eral scholarship, musicianship and
service to the chapter.

The George P. Hayes Debating
Award went to Margaret Rodgers,
1962-63 president. This award is
presented annually in honor of the
sponsor of the club, English pro-
fessor George P. Hayes.

Winner of the MeKinney Book
Award was Sarah Stokes Cum-
ming. This award is presented to
the student who collects during a
year's period a wide selection of
books and displays an understand-
ing of them to the judging commit-
tee. It was established in honor
of former English professor Louise
MeKinney.

The annual scholarship for sum-

Annuals Due May 31,
To Portray Scutt 'Life'

Agnes Scott annuals will be
distributed May 31. Students may
pick up their copies from the Pub
at that time.

This year the staff of the annual
has tried to give a picture of the
school that includes some of the
"little" things that occupy a good
bit of the students' time, as well
as the big events of the year.

The annual will preserve some of
the be9t creative work from
Aurora and the Agnes Scott News.
Original art work done by Ferdi-
nand Warren, Lynn Denton, and
Frances Anderson will be an in-
tegral part of the annual's theme.

Dana Contributes
$350 000toASC

CHARLES A. DANA

The college has received word
that a donation of $350,000 for the
proposed fine arts building has been
made by Charles Anderson Dana
of New York City.

This is the largest gift which the
college has ever received from a
living donar and will enable work
to begin on the $850,000-$900,000
building during the next school
year.

Dr. Alston stated that the rest
of the funds for the completion of
the new building which will house
the speech, drama, and art depart-
ments is presently available in cash
and pledges.

Although plans are presently in
the designing stage, the president
expressed hope that definite plans
and specifications can shortly be re-
leased so that construction may be-
gin during the next fall quarter.
The building will be located where
cottages 220 and 226 S. McDonough
now stand.

Seniors Present Graduation Plans

Representing the seniors, Lelia
Jones has revealed the Commence-
ment plans for the Class of '63.

Initially the juniors and seniors
will exchange formal farewells at
the dining hall at 6 p.m. Thursday,
May 23.

Professor Retires
At End Of 32 Years

Miss Melissa Annis Cilley, assist-
ant professor of Spanish, will retire
in June after almost 33 years as a
professor at the college.

In honor of her "devoted service
to the college" a Melissa Annis
Cilley Library Fund will be start-
ed.

Miss Cilley came to Agnes Scott
in September, 1930, having taught
previously in Spain and at the Uni-
versity of Wisconsin where she re-
ceived her master's degree. She re-
ceived her B. A. degree from the
University of New Hampshire.

During her years with the col-
lege Miss Cilley has done extensive
traveling and teaching in summer
schools. In 1950 she and the late
Mrs. Cilley went around the world
by air, visiting about 45 different
countries on their tour.

Other trips which Miss Cilley
completed were to Portugal and
Spain where she often taught sum-
mer school.

Miss Cilley says that she plans
after her retirement to make maps
and frame pictures of the Latin
countries for the Spanish depart-
ment and to compose an Italian
bibliography similar to the ones
which she has recently completed
on Portugese and Brazilian litera-
ture.

Following the banquet there will
be a capping ceremony at 10 p.m.

At this time the seniors plan to
initiate the juniors into the
"mysteries" of being the leading
class on campus.

The ceremony also symbolizes
the seniors' yielding of responsi-
bility, authority, and prestige to
the aging Junior Class.

After exam week the Commence-
ment exercises will formally begin,
and on June 7 the seniors are hold-
ing their class party a picnic
and swimming party at the Vene-
tian Club.

Class Day will be held in the
May Day Dell on June 8. The
plans, Lelia confesses, are at the
moment a bit nebulous.

However, the seniors are ex-
pecting the sophomores to form a
daisy chain. At the same time the
Class of '63 will present its gift to
the school, as well as recognize its
faculty advisors.

That night at 8 p.m. there will
be a music program to honor the
seniors, who plan to engage in a
book-burning session afterwards.

themselves on the subjects that
plagued them the most!

The day after the book-burning
the seniors have an opportunity to
repent, as the outgoing members of
C. A. conduct a vesper service in
the May Day Dell on Sunday after-
noon, June 9.

That evening the school will
honor the seniors with a dinner at
6:30 in the dining hall.

Immediately following the din-
ners the Alstons will entertain the
seniors and their guests in Rebekah
Reception Room.

Finally Monday at 10 a.m. the
seniors will walk across the stage
of Gaines and receive their B.A.
degrees !

Development of this theme will

Peter B. Sherry is to be the Tech
speaker.

This panel will be moderated by
Many Ann Lusk and will be held
in Maclean Auditorium.

Ralph McGill, publisher of the

writing in recent weeks.

Dana and the trustees of the
Dana Foundation will be on campus
Friday, May 24, when a luncheon
will be held for them with Dr.
Alston as host in the President's

and attended the Cutler School and
Columbia University where he re-
ceived his B.A. and master's degree
in law.

Dana created an industrial em-
pire beginning in 1914 which end-
ed in consolidation of more than 30
companies under the Dana name.
He presently owns firms in the
United States, Canada, France and
a ranch at which he worked as a
cowhand in Mexico.

A lifetime philanthropist, Dana
has endowed the University of
Toledo, Davidson College, Stetson
University, and the Indiana Tech-
nical Institute.

Dana is married and has four
children.

Mrs. Pepperdene, faculty chairman,
Mrs. Walker, Kwai Sing Chang,
Dee Hall, student chairman, Marcia
McClung, and Diane Hendrix.

Dee Hall said that the commit-

Creative Arts Unite

Editor's Note The following editorial was written by Scottie
Roberts of the Aurora Staff:

As plans for next year are being drawn up, it seems to us
it would be an appropriate time to re-emphasize an old
concern.

This concern is something in which we are all involved
in the field of creativity.

Granted that the art areas are more immediately involved,
but it is a very human concern.

This project has the backing of people in music, drama,
speech, dance, graphic arts and plastic arts. Their plan is to
co-operate in an effort recently dubbed Creativity Projected.

A group of interested students recently met together in
an understanding of their common goals and commitments.
Their immediate plans include an art exhibit during
orientation.

Some consideration is also being given to displaying during
the year exhibits with other schools. Shortly after the start
of school there will be a dramatic presentation unifying all
the art areas.

Amazing interest has been shown by faculty, students,
and administration. It is exciting what each person has to
contribute.

The sort of program mentioned above is merely a start
for several distinct plans that Aurora, Blackfriars, Dance
Group and the art department and others will be carrying
out next year.

The resources on this campus have not been explored.
Those involved in the arts hope not only to perform but to
involve many more in their activities.

The plans are still being formulated. The ideas seem to be
growing spontaneously every time interested folk talk.

We are delighted that we need only mention this cause
and it sells itself. It seems to us that we shall benefit one
and all from emphasizing a creative atmosphere. S.R.

Roads To Maturity

America's latest space victory was an achievement that,
even if greatly surpassed by future triumphs, will retain a
very special spot in our memories.

It symbolizes a moment which could be very valuable to
any person, especially to young people our age.

We re in a phase of "growing up" when so many of our
ideals and our dreams seem so inaccessibly far in the fu-
ture or irretrievably far in the past.

So often most of us must wonder if we'll ever get what we
want out of life.

Will we ever discover what it is we want? Questions such
as "Should I have?" "Why didn't I?" "Will I?" or "What
if?" plague us constantly.

Gordon Cooper went up in space the same day the rising
juniors received their class rings.

These are two ostensibly separate events which one might
think we're trying to relate irrelevantly.

Yet, they made even more profound a realization that
we've been coming to for the past couple of weeks.

Ideals are worth holding on to, goals are worth having
and fighting for life, life is worth living.

The United States Space Program has suffered astounding
criticism, defeats, and disappointments since it "came of
age."

The rising junior class has been through the traditional
"sophomore slump," which, for some of us, began over a year
ago when we "came of age."

All of us, undoubtedly, have met discouragement, and
despair in our personal lives ... in our relationships with
family, loves, and friends.

Agnes Scott itself is in the midst of a crisis: an analyzation
by both those who believe in "it" (the ideal or the means to
it) and those who don't.

Somehow, last Thursday (Cooper and the onyx) made us
know (as we have always felt) that living is a matter of
perseverance, of never giving up.

There is a "toning down" as one matures and as he ex-
periences or witnesses the shattering of dreams.

But it doesn't have to be a "dulling," as it is sometimes
termed.

It is, rather, a "toning in" which maturity offers for the
building of bigger and better, though, of course, often dif-
ferent dreams. SP.

"Once there ruled in the distant

feared for his might and loved for
his wisdom.

"Now, in the heart of that city
was a well, whose water was cool
and crystalline, from which all the

Seniors Lead Campus Revelry
In Annua! Production of Opera

By DIANE PUL1GNANO

As hundreds stood on the dining
all steps cheering, the black lim-
ousine pulled to a halt and three
magnificent celebrities stepped
out.

An eager group of sophomores
rushed for autographs, then gazed
adoringly at the names before
them: Moffo, Bastardio, and Orkin
Mobley.

It was, at last, Friday, May 17.
the night of the Senior Opera.

Quotes, Ariss

Agnes Scott has not had such a
night since Black Cat.

First, the script wns ingenious.
The audience delighted in hearing
quotes from literature in fascinat-
ing new contexts and in listening
to arias from Termite, Pluto, Or-
kin and towering Eureka.

The actors also had their share
of attention remember the
attempts of a certain past chair-
man of Judicial Council to control
her slightly hysterical laughter
and conform to the deadpan ex-
pression of the chorus?

To Success

The captivating beat of the
pedalled garbage can. the repre-
sentation of the general opinion
of Liz and Dick, and the antics of
the conductor all cntributed to the
success of the production.

Credits go to Nancy Gheesling.
Ina Jones, Mary Hamp Lowry,
Kathryn Mobley, Anneke Schep-
man, and Marianne Wurst.

But to mention only these names
Is to do injustice to a great many
people. Hats off to the entire
senior class!

To Student Body

Hats off, too, to the student
body! If it is true that "a play
never goes across to a cold audi-
ence." the seniors had the perfect
audience to make their perform-
ance a smashing success.

The dress circle extended from
the first to the last row.

Students came not just to see,
but to participate.

Forgotten for the time were
apathy and negativism. It was not
seniors, juniors, sophomores, and
freshmen, but just "we."

And we had the Black Cat-like
spirit from dinner time until the
last chord sounded on the piano
in the hub after the opera.

The seniors dedicated their
opera to the Priest and Priestess
of Dionysus, alias Dr. and Mrs.

Alston.

How many college presidents
and their wives appear clad in
sheets before their student body,
just for fun?

How many times are they
thanked?

Next Met

The Met can perform with con-
fidence next year; the seniors will
have scattered, relinquishing their
title of World's Best Opera Com-
pany.

But if the Met rejoices, Agnes
Scott mourns.

The talent and the enthusiasm of
the Class of '63 will be missed by
all.

Thank you, seniors, for your
opera. We loved it!

To the Editor:

On behalf of the seniors who par-
ticipated in Senior Opera, I would
like to thank all the students who
"dressed up" for the occasion. We
greatly appreciate their enthusi-
asm.

Our special thanks goes to Dr.
and Mrs. Alston, Mr. Rogers, Miss
Manuel, and Dr. Calder, whose co-
operation made zur efforts seem
particular- wort h wh i 1 e .
Sincerely.
Lelia Jones

Senior Class President

mad/

"Next mornig all the inhabi-
tants, save the king and his lord
chamberlain, drank frm the well
and became mad, even as the witch
had foretold.

"And during that day the people
in the narrow streets and in the
market places did naught but
whisper to one another, The king
is mad. Our king and his lord
chamberlain have lost their rea-
son. Surely we cannot be ruled by
a mad king. We must dethrone
him.'

"That evening the king order-
ed a golden goblet to be filled
from the well. And when it was
brought to him he drank deeply,
and gave it to his lord chamber-
lain to drink.

"And there was great rejoicing
in that distant city of Wirani, be-
cause its kings and his lord cham-
berlain had regained their reason."

This story, written by Kahili
Gibran in The Madman (no re-
f lection on the intellect of the
author) seems strangely appro-
priate to our campus.

When we become disillusioned
with Agnes Scott, we think
everyone else should be.

When we get over our disillu-
sionment, we think others should
get over theirs.

If we decide to transfer, we feel
everyone should; if we want to
stay, everyone else should want
to stay too.

How easy it is to be like the
people in the town. How easy to
condemn those who seem a little
different.

However, how much easier is it
to be like the king and his cham-
berlain. How simple to conform
tin order to be accepted.

It is always easier to suppress
oneself in order to seem exactly
like everyone else.

How simple, and yet, what a
waste!

Parks, Theatres Provide
Relaxation Before Exams

Before exams render us unable,
let's have one last fling!

Several new and exciting con-
tributions have been made to the
list of things to do, and these
along with those we have never
yet done are full of promises of
fun!

Guy Carawan will be presented
in a concert of American folk
scnge Friday night at 8:30 in the
Atlanta Art Association's Walter
Hill Auditorium. His drawing card
seems to be his support by Theo-
dore Bikel, and perhaps this is an
indication of something good to
come for those who enjoy folk
music!

The Stone Mountain Railroad is

now in operation, adding to the
activities surrounding that one of
Georgia's seven wonders! In the
nice spring weather an interesting
afternoon could be spent at Stone
Mountain ... or Grant Park!

Nelson Riddle will be presented
May 31 by the Atlanta Pop Con-
certs at the Chastain Memorial
Park Amphitheatre in the Star-
light Concert Series. This is a sug-
gested way to relax before your
Saturday exam!

Two excellent movies still run-
ning in Atlanta are "How the West
Was Won" and "Lawrence of Ara-

bia." Both be ast numerous stars
and much entertainment.

And two new, lighter movies
are "Follow the Boys" at the Fox
and "Come Fly With Me" at the

Loew's. Each promises a gay eve-
ning of movie-going.

Following "Follow the Boys" at

the Fox will be Walt Disney's
"Miracle of the White Stallions/'

a romantic drama based on a true
occurence in World War II in-
volving the famed Lippizan horses
of Austria.

Robert Taylor stars as Col. Alois
Podhajsky, director of Vienna's
renowned Spanish Riding School
of the Hofburg, the ancient palace
of the Hapsburg emperors.

This is Robert Taylor's first
motion picture in five years and
co-stars Lilli Palmer, Curt Jurgens
and Eddie Albert. Filmed in Aus-
tria, it will be a thoroughly de-
lightful experience!

And looking ahead to summer
fun, make plans to be here for
the third annual Southeastern
Shakespearean Festival opening in
July. "Julius Caesar," "Macbeth,"
and "The Taming of the Shrew"
will be featured.

There is never a lack of things
to do in Atlanta, so during these
next two weeks, let's make certain
that we do them . . . 'Roun Town!

Horseshow, Doodling Activities
Dominate End-of- Year Athletics

Following the directions of a
suggestion drawn from the barrel
last week, I had planned to leave
this space blank, more or less for
the purpose of a doodling space.
The suggestee gave many
sound arguments for this, such
as the fact that there is a defi-
nite shortage of scrap paper
these days.

By

MARTHA

MONTMEAT

From this jumping off point, she
jumped off into a full detailed
account of how scrap paper has
evolved into the position it now
holds in the modem world of to-
day and so forth.

Another sound argument she
gave for leaving the space blank,
was that, and I quote, "Maybe,
just maybe, some of your read-
ers might find it enjoyable to
write in something they would
like to read/'

Well, needless to say, I was
somewhat taken aback by 'the
whole thing I mean, after all,
when you come right down to it,
who am I to stand in the way of
IDEAS, for goodness' sake.

No one, that's who, I thought
to myself, and one thing led to
another, and, naturally, after
reflecting on all my manifold
sins and wickednesses, I decided
it was definitely time for a
change.

Thus, with a warm glow within
me (as well as without really the
temperature these days . . .) and a
twinkle in my eye (I had begun
to feel almost like Santa Claus),
I marched forthwith into the Pub
to leave my blank column.

Being an easy-going sort of per-
son and all, I took the reaction
in stride, (the details of which I
think it would be best not to go
into here) and began to write a
somewhat violent type of column.
Consequently it was all cen-
sored, but heroically I managed
to save the following:

Don't forget the horseshow on
Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. There
will be 34 Scott girls par-
ticipating in five classes.

This sad, sad story is dedicated
to the anonymous suggestee, who-
ever and wherever she may be.
If I may be permitted to do
so, I would like to make a sug-
gestion, which may be very help-
ful to our suggestee and the
multitudes everywhere who
share her feelings.

This is the Screaming time.

The year is at least two weeks
long already, and the prospect
of two more weeks of this is
enough to make anyone scream.

Roommates are screaming at
roommates; professors are scream
ing at students.

Students are screaming right
backs at the professors. And who
knows, maybe the professors are
screaming at each other.

There have been, however,
and will be, in spite of hectic
schedules, some civilized out-
lets for all this vociferance.

It all began, officially, with the
A.A. picnic last Wednesday where
at least some of the student body
heralded with shouts of joy the
faculty volleyball victory.

Later the sophomores demon-
strated their vocal capacity as
they burst forth with shouts of
joy in honor of themselves.

Even the children got into the
act with their "squeak-boxes."

Screaming came to a climax
Friday night at the Senior Opera,
where everyone let clown his in-
libitions.

Moans for the untimely demise
>f Eureka were interspersed with
shouts of "bravo" from the en-
thusiastic audience, which had
earlier greeted each other's attire

with shrieks of approval.

Dr. and Mrs. Alston also got
into the act as they arrived
dressed in sheets, arousing cries
of delighted disbelief.

All this goes to show that there
are some socially approved chan-
nels for those temper tantrums,
even during the screaming season.

When you're all screamed out,
remember that music hath charms.
The Glee Club concert is Friday
night, proving that there is a
means of vocal expression other
than screaming.

And it wouldn't hurt to have
a few "bravos" there . . .

New Class Of 1967
Brings Total To 680

About 215 new students are ex-
pected in the fall quarter, bringing
the total to about 680 students, ac-
cording to the Registrar's Office.

Although final registration has
yet to be stabilized due to the June
15 deadline for the retainer for
dormitory space, Registrar Laura
Steele states that she expects the
current overenrollment to drop
when the $200 fee is due.

Included in the freshman class
which will be the Class of 1967 are
three foreign students, daughters
of well-known officials and several
beauty queens.

The foreign students include the
sister of Lucy Yang of Hong Kong
who graduated in the class of
1961. One prospective freshmen
will be coming from the new state
of Israel, while another will journey
from the Netherlands.

The daughter of the Israeli con-
sul stationed in Atlanta has also
been accepted. The daughter of the
Admiral of the Sixth Fleet station-
ed off Japan has also indicated that
she will be present on campus in
the fall of '63.

Sciences Receive
Grant, Instructor

The chemistry and physics de-
partments will receive several addi-
tions during the corning year.

Coming as an instructor in
physics is Philip Reonhart. Rein-
hart has received his B.S. and M.S.
degrees at Yale University where
he has been serving recently as a
research and laboratory assistant.
He is originally from Fairfield,
Conn.

While at Yale he was in the
glee club and played on the
university's soccer and tennis
teams. He is also a ham radio
operator and during one summer
served as a leader of a NSA
European tour.

The Atomic Energy Commission
has presented a $7,000 grant to the
chemistry department for the pur-
chase of various radio isotope
equipment. The equipment will be
used in advanced organic and in-
organic chemistry classes, physical
chemistry and advanced quantita-
tive analysis classes.

will also be a member of the prom-
ising Class of '67. She was original-
ly scheduled to be a freshman dur-
ing the past school year, but her
duties as the beauty from her state
detained her.

From the bluegrass country of
Kentucky will come 'the girl who
this year was crowned Queen of the
Kentucky Derby.

In the Orientation Issue of the
Agnes Scott Neivs currently plan-
ned for the beginning days of the
coming school year, these girls and
others of the class will have a
chance to express their views.

Agnes Scott Receives
Valuable Oil Paintings

Four valuable paintings have
been presented to the college, three
from a single donor in Paris,
France.

Mrs. Carl Mitson of Paris has
given three paintings to be added
to the college's permanent collec-
tion.

"Bird Life" by Franz Snyders is
the most valuable with an esti-
mated worth of $2,500. Snyders
studied under the master, Rubens.

"Italian Landscape" by Claude
Lorrain Gile was painted during
the 17th century. Gile's paintings
are rarely found in the United
States and the number of his oils
still in existence is unknown be-
cause many of them were destroy-
ed during World War H.

"Portrait of an English Noble-
women" by John James Masquenier
is the third and last of the collec-
tion of Mrs. Mitson which has been
received by the college. A 18th
century artist, Masquenier is most
famous for his painting of Na-
poleon.

The fourth painting was donated
by Ewing S. Humphreys Jr. of At-
lanta and was painted by his wife,
Mary Louise (Pudden) Bealer
Humphreys, Class of '46. Mrs.
Humphreys was killed in the Paris
air crash of the Atlanta Art Asso-
ciation plane. Before her death
she had been an active alumna and
at the time of her death was vice
president of the national associa-
tion of Scott alumnae.

Karen Gearreald, Sandra Hay
Wilson and Laura Little Hawes
were recognized as Stukes Scho-
lars at Commencement today.

Dr. Wallace Alston announced
that these students rank first in
the rising sophomore, junior and
senior classes.

The award is given annually in
recognition of Dean Samuel
Guerry Stukes' distinguished serv-
ice to the college.

Karen is from Norfolk, Va., and
served as Black Cat song chairman
from her class during the past
year and will again write the song
in the 1963 session.

Sandra Hay Wilson a rising
junior, is from Langley Air Force
Base, Va., and worked on the 1963

Silhouette.

Laura Hawes, a rising senior,
from Owensboro, Ky., has been in
the Glee Club, worked on the
Agnes Scott News and will be the
house president of Rebekah during
(the next school year.

Also announced at Commence-
ment was the recipient of the
annual Rich prize awarded by
Rich's of Atlanta for distinctive
academic work in the freshman
class. This year the award went to
Mary Jane Gilchrist of Gadsden,
Ala.

Ipek Aksugur of Istanbul, Tur-
key, was awarded the Quennelle
Harrold Fellowship for graduate
study by an alumna of the college.

Georgia Governor Gives
Commencement Address

Carl Sanders, governor of the
tate of Georgia, delivered the Com-
mencement Address to approxi-
mately 120 members of the grad-
uating class of Agnes Scott and
their guests today at 10 a.m.

The speech and following exer-
cises climaxed a weekend of grad-
uation activities which included a
Baccalaureate sermon Sunday by
Dr. George Buttrick, former pastor
of Madison Avenue Presbyterian
Church of New York City.

Buttrick spoke on "Faith and
Knowledge" and took his text from
Hebrews 11:6b.

Among his many activities, Dr.
.uttrick has been the general editor
of "The Interpreter's Bible" and
the "Interpreter's Dictionary of
the Bible."

A native Englishman, Dr. Butt-
rick was educated in that country
at Victoria University and Lan-
cashire Independent Seminary with
honors in philosophy.

He is the former professor of
Christian morals at Harvard and
held at one time the presidency of
the Federal (now National) Coun-
cil of Churches of Christ in
America.

Sanders is presently one of the
most widely publicized men in the
South. Since his inauguration he
has initiated many reforms within
the state which have brought both
praise and criticism from across the
nation.

Other festivities surrounding
graduation were the capping cere-
mony in which members of the
Class of '63 presented their caps
and gowns to rising seniors, signi-
fying the transfer of senior re-
sponsibilities.

The ceremony was held during
the week before exams, a depar-
ture from the usual time of the
Saturday before graduation in
order that more juniors could be
present.

Class Day, replete with daisy
chains carried by the sophomores,

was held Saturday, June 8. After-
wards, the annual bookburning ses-
sion took place.

New Gifts Add
To Fund Drive

In the drive toward the goal of
an increase of $10,500,000 in capital
utlay funds by Jan. 26, 1964, Agnes
Scott College to date has raised a
total of $10,150,000.

In recent weeks the college has
received word of contributions to-
ward this goal totaling over $590,-
000.

Largest of the contributions is
$350,000 presented by Charles A.
Dana for the construction of the
fine arts building.

An anonymous foundation which
has never before presented a capital
gift has recently donated $150,000
to be placed in an endowment fund.
The foundation in Atlanta has pre-
viously given annually to the col-
lege.

Mrs. John K. Owtley of Atlanta
has presented $20,000 in memory of
her mother, Mrs. Helen Baldwin
Woodward, to be used in the
scholarship funds of the college.

The J. M. Tull Foundation has
established a $20,000 scholarship
fund in memory of J. M. Tull. Tull
during his lifetime established in
memory of his wife a scholarship
fund totaling $25,000.

Emily and Ernest Woodward
have presented a grant to the col-
lege of $25,000.

Dr. Wallace Alston expressed
hope that the rest of the goal will
be reached by January in order
that the college might claim an
anonymous gift of $500,000.

The drive was inaugurated in
July, 1953 and will end as it start-
ed with a campus campaign tenta-
tively scheduled for the first of
winter quarter.

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Monday, June 10, 1963

Composite

"She wears Madras skirts and tennis shoes,
She hears Robert Frost and Brubeck blues,
She dates slide-rule Sam or an Ivy man,
She writes dear-John letters all over the land."
The lyrics of this campus song attempt to describe the
"Agnes Scott girl" if such a person really exists. But does
this description really portray the students who are leaving
the school as the 1963 graduating class?

In an attempt to discover the real characteristics of this
phenomenon, the Agnes Scott News submitted a question-
naire to the members of the graduating class which we hope
enabled the group to explain exactly how they felt about
certain key issues.

What is the Class of 1963 really Jike?
First we must see what they are not like. They are not par-
ticularly fearful of the forthcoming years in the "wide
world." In fact they believe that what they will experience
when they leave Scott will not be too different from situa-
tions faced as students at the college.

They are not violent conservatives in their political views
which include subjects like foreign and local aid to the under-
privileged.

In their concepts of home life they do not look forward to
an extremely romantic husband nor a primary career in
the business world.

What then are they like?

In retrospect, they feel tbait they may have been protected
a bit by the "in loco parentis" attitude of the college, but they
are looking expectantly toward post-graduation experiences.

Within the next ten years they hope to become principally
homemakers, wives and mothers, although some tend to
think that a career and marriage can be interwoven.

Their husband's, they hope, will display intellect and prac-
ticality although he should prohobly be fun-loving at the
appropriate time. One married respondent replied that
from experience there was no such thing as an "ideal
husband."

In relationships with men they feel that women are be-
coming more equalitarian although in some respects they dis-
play a quality of competitiveness.

Most members of the senior class feel that they could live
on a budget that includes only $15 a week for food for two.
Some tended to be a bit more conservative and say that they
would require five dollars more.

When the time for children arrives, most would desire
four. Only one person answered that she is looking for-
ward to managing five children. Not one graduate chose
six or seven as the "magic" number.
In their individual views the members of the 1963 gradu-
ating class said they personally adhere to the philosophy of
Paul Tillich and follow the political leanings of J. F. Kennedy,
although running a close second was Nelson Rockefeller as
political hero. The conservative element came behind the
liberal Republicans by one vote.

Admiration was expressed primarily for Queen Elizabeth
and author Harper Lee.

Cuba and the struggle for civil rights dominated the
thoughts of most of the graduates when asked about world
situations. Very few expressed interest in medical care for
the aged.

When asked about the primary role of women in con-
temporary society, members of the class demonstrated what
most of the graduates feel is the class' chief characteristic-
diversity.

Answers ranged from the most idealistic to the practical.
One replied "to be women." Another commented that women
should "produce peace out of chaos through love." Still an-
other said "to provide for those whose lives they touch a con-
stant contact with the things that endure in the human spirit."

There is some question as to the accuracy with which the
questionnaire illuminates the "Agnes Scott graduate of 1963."
Whatever its validity, qualities mentioned above are relative-
ly common, yet the class itself cannot be described as common.

Motley, diversified, introverted, iconclastic, independent,
dissatisfied, apathetic and lively it has received the "badge of
courage/' the diploma, and will never again be an integral
part of this immediate campus.

We, for one will miss them. N.B.

Staff Lists Summer Plans

By SALLY POCKEL

The members of the faculty at
Agnes Scott have planned numer-
ous and varied activities for the
coming summer.

Miss Muriel Harn plans a sum-
mer in Europe as does Miss Mary
Lucile Rion. Miss Frances Clark
also plans to be abroad particular-
ly in France with the Emory
French Language Group.

Koenraad Swart will be on a
leave of absence for the 1963-64
school year and will spend most of
his time in his native home of Hol-
land; also spending some time in
France while completing his book
on 19th century France.

Dr. Walter Posey will be teach-
ing at the University of Oregon.

William Cornelius plans to com-
plete his report on Southern poli-
tical movements this summer.

Miss Sara Ripy will be teaching
in the N.S.F. workshop at the
Texas Women's University.

Mrs. Elizabeth Stack and Everett
Keach will both be professors in
education at Emory this summer.
They are on a special program of
joint professorships with Scott and
the university.

Lee Copple will also be teaching
in the education department at
Emory. Robert Nelson has reported

Ideal - A Reality?

Graduation has finally arrived. For many of us this cere-
mony means very little because we are not personally in-
volved.

But, each year, seniors await this day with varied and
mixed emotions. For them it is the end of an era, the climax
of their college careers. It is also the beginning of a new life.

Whether that new life happens to involve a new husband,
a new job, or a new academic experience, it most certainly
will involve a re-entry into society.

Graduation is the launching-pad, so to speak, from which
one is thrust out into a world which thrives, not on honor
and politeness, but on monetary success, social prowess, and
mental agility.

After four years in an ideal community, it is hard to adjust
to the reality of the "life outside.'' Instead of polite competi-
tion for grades, one encounters open, undisguised, ruthless
combat between individuals, trying to achieve greater suc-
cess, regardless of how many toes are trod upon.

This new ruthlessness may be difficult to adjust to at
first, since the Agnes Scott student has been taught in
college that success is desireable only if it does no harm
to others.

Thus, she should not, according to college standards, do
something which may blemish the reputation of the school.
She should not campaign for something if it may be against
some ideal the school holds.

The student is encouraged to be conservative since it seems
to be less harmful to the majority, and less likely to offend
anyone.

Students have been "in the sheltering arms" their four
years at Agnes Scott, secure and safe from the "big, bad
world."

They are removed from the disagreeable elements in so-
ciety, and learn about them only from hearsay evidence,
which they are encouraged to disregard

Thus, it is easy to remain in one's ov/n little ideal world at
college, and not be too concerned with the problems in con-
temporary society. After all, they do not affect the Agnes
Scott student!

However, when one finally has to emerge from the cocoon
and enter the reality, one finds a definite conflict between
what one has been taught in college and what one now
finds to be true.

Conservatism in every phase of life, desireable in college,
becomes ridiculous in the world of reality. It leads to a stag-
nant existence, for, to be true to oneself one cannot alwavs
look for the way which seems least offensive to the most
people.

Sometimes, one must stand up and fight for what one be-
lieves, regardless of the feelings of others.

For a person to hold completely to the tenets of extreme
conservatism that she has been taught in college seems to
be wasting the education that she has received her four
years at Agnes Scott.

These four years should have taught her to think ration-
ally about her world, to .iudge it according to the best
standards she can find, and try to improve it in any way
she can.

She cannot do this, however, if she does not realize that
the ideal world of Agnes Scott is exactly that: an ideal.

Thus, the ideal is something she should strive to achieve
after she graduates, not something she should expect to
find. M.L.L.

Graduates Plan Marriages, Jobs

By SANDY PRESCOTT and
LIL HARRIS

During the last-minute panic of
school's remaining days, seniors
are harder than ever to track down

Of course, we all want to dis-
cover their mysterious post-grad-
ulation plans, and about the only
way to do this is to have them
fill out some more questionnaires.

Regretfully, though, not every
senior submitted her statistics, and
we can only give an approximate
forecast of what the class of '63
plans to be doing in the year or
years to come.

Do you suppose the others think
they will become famous (??) so
quickly we can read about them in
the newspapers?

Careers

Amazingly enough, a very siz-
able portion of the class seems to
be turning away from the usual
matrimony trend after graduation.
The questionnaires indicate that
this year Agnes Scott is turning out
a very career-minded mass of young
women into the world.

In fact, many of those already
married, or planning to marry soon,
will also be holding jobs outside of
the home.

Shortly after her wedding next
April or Easter, Margaret Van
Deman plans to teach in the Ft.
Worth or the Dallas school system.

Linda Plemmons has an assist-
ants hip at Purdue University, and
will be teaching freshman English
there.

Marriages

Nancy Gheesling plans to get
married during the 11 Christmas holi-
days" and will be "probably be
teaching in Charleston, S.C." %

The summer brides soon to begin
work are Dot Laird, Bryce Burgess,
and Ann Williams.

Dot will be a cryptanalyst, and
Bryce will work with the guidance
department at Georgia Tech (yea!)
Ann has the position of Choir Di-
rector at Aisenal Hill Presby-
terian Church in her home town
of Columbia, (where's that?)

Lynne Cole is planning an August
wedding, and will be an elementary
school teacher in DeKalb County
next year.

Already Weds

Already married, Betty Ann
Wylie and Sandy Barrow hopefully
see a chance for travel in the near
future. Sandy will be "gone to
Texas" for Bryce's wedding, and
Betty Ann and her husband plan
a trip next spring to see the out-
standing architecture of Greece,
Italy, and France.

Lindy Rector and Judy Zollicof-
fer, two more "already marrieds",
don't plan to travel very far, but
will work here in Atlanta.

Lindy will be on an executive
training program for Davisons, and
will be going to the Art Institute at
night.

Teaching

Some of the class of '63 plan to
go right into the field of revenge,
and will be teaching come Septem-
ber: Frannie Bailey, Polly Craig,
and Caroline Teague.

Frannie eventually hopes to get a
Master of Arts in the Teaching
Program.

More School

Others think they need a little
more training and conditioning for
such a tough field, and intend to
go on to graduate school first.

If Cornelia Bryant doesn't work
instead, she will get an M.A. in
history.

Nancy Duvall, who won a Ful-
bright Scholarship, will be in Gre-
nable, France, next year, where she
will study French literature. Upon
eturning to the States she will con-
sider going to the University of
Wisconsin to get her MA in English
and French literature.

Nancy Rose and Ann Williams
also plan to go to graduate school
next year. Ann will be at "Emory,

most likely," getting her MA in
Education.

Nancy will be in Richmond at
the Presbyterian School of Chris-
tian Education, working toward a
Masters in Christian Education
with an emphasis in social work.
Working

And one of these things that one
just can't understand: Lelia Jones,
an economcs major, is really going
into business. She will be with the
U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau
of Labor Statistics. From a home
base in Atlanta, she will travel
around the south collecting data
for "cost of living indices."

Next year Edna Vass returns to
the Congo where she will be "work-
ing in a bookstore or teaching." A
lelpful hint for those who will want
to keep in contact with Edna: "the
regular mail takes two months."
So, save your pennies for the air-
mail letters.

Kaye Stapeleton has her wedding
planned for September. She has no
definite plans for working "outside
of the home" as of now.

Former editor of the News,
Cheryl Winegar, after her marriage
this June, will be teaching high
school English in Atlanta.

Her assistant during the past
year, Mariane Wurst, will be at
Scott, working in the Alumnae
Office.

Also among the "hope-to-weds"
are Bonnie Hatfield, Kaylynn
Osborne, Irene Lavinder, and Caro-
lyn Lown.

Sue Heinrick is getting married
August 3, and will be teaching high
school math during the summer in
Orange Park, Fla.

Ina Jones will be working with a
publishing firm in New York city:
"editorial assistant probably re-
search work, copy reading and
possibly traveling."

Doris Poliakoff and Mary Jean
Knightree will be with the U. S.
Government, Washington, D.C.,
they're hoping.

Jobs

Sue McKenzie and Lynn Morley
will be working here in Atlanta;
Sue with the DeKalb County Board
>f Education and Lynn will be asso-
ciated with Merrill Lynch, Pierce,
Fenner and Smith.

Elizabeth Withers and Mary Ann
Gregory have some unusual careers
planned. Elizabeth will be doing
hospital work in Hannover, Ger-
many beginning in October. In the
meantime she will tour Europe.

Mary Ann is going to be a Pan
Am Stewardess, with her home
base either in New York or Miami.
She will fly to all points in Latin

America. After being transferred
to the European branch, she will
also act as interpreter for Spanish,
French, and Portuguese.

Grad School

Judy Brantley and Mary Ann
Lusk definitely have graduate
school planned. Judy hopes to be
getting her degree in English
(Middle Ages) at U.N.C. During or
after graduate school she will
travel in Europe.

Mary Ann will get her Master of
Arts in Teaching (English) at the
Radcliffe Graduate Center in Corn-
bridge, Mass.

Lucy Gordon will be working
on a Research Assistantship at the
University of Georgia, and working

toward her degree. Her NDED
Fellowship will allow her to receive
her Ph. D. in Botany in three years.

Nell Tabor will go to graduate
school at the University of Illinois,
working toward a Masters in
Library Science. This summer she
will be a lab assistant ("bug
counter") with the Coastal Plains
Experiment Station in Tifton, Ga.

There, you see, are the plans for
the graduates of 1963. Most either
plan careers or housekeeping (this
isn't a career?). Many others, for
instance, Betty Parsons, are as
yet undecided about their future,
but are planning to work for a
while, at least.

Hub-bub

"Classic Columnist
Considers Caesura

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.

AGNES SCOn COLLEGE

Founded 1889

An independent liberal arts college for women of highest rank
academically, located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Sing, O Muse, of the bitter-
sweet memories of four years of
college bliss which our young in-
nocent must now leave.

... of her first rush party, when
she discovered she was a wall-
flower. ("But, Sophomore Helper,
why can't I meet the brothers?
They're so much cuter!)

... of fall quarter, freshman
year, when she found out that true
love for the boy back home who
goes to Sewannee was not enough
to justify cutting four days of
class.

("But Miss Scrandrett, it's
just te most important event of
the year. I can take my five
quizzes anytime.")

. . . of the time she finally
' screwed her courage to the stick-
ing point" to go to the Hub for
her first cigarette and was sick
for three days.

... of that day in September of
her sophomore year when she
stood in line from 2 a.m. til 9 a.m.
to get the perfect schedule only
to find that the administration had
changed the times for all the
courses she wanted to take, and
she found herself with four Sat-
urday classes.

... of sophomore winter quar-
ter when she discovered that,
much to her surprise, everything
had suddenly become black, even

However, she was lucky since all

forgotten she existed and she had
a lot of time to study!

she had decided were okay after
all.

worked for four years, of that

Summer Recreation Fills Void,
Maintains Figure, Good Health

By

MARTHA

MONTMEAT

I was given specific instructions
for this column.

I was first told that it might be
very good if I were to write a very
clever article this time, as this
was the last issue of the news-
paper and all.

Later (last week to be exact)
I was told to make it a rather
long column, i. e. covering at least
the whole last page (leaving space,
of course, for the advertisements),
because we were somewhat short
of copy this time.

As a matter of fact I had
heard rumors very unfounded,
naturally that Those-At-The
Top were considering the possi-
bility of doing away with the
whole idea of the issue, until it
was pointed out that everyone's
quarter had already been paid.
Thus, so the story went, it boiled
down to the question of which
would be easier: trying to divide
up and return all quarters or
putting out an issue of the news-
paper.

Needless to say the majority
was in favor of putting out an
issue of the paper to sharpen
wits, to keep in shape, more or
less, and so forth.

Having nothing to say really,
I turned to the idea of writing
sort of an elegy over in my
mind. It was to start out some-
thing like: "They are all gone
now." and, of course, would be
very blank verse.
Among the other drawbacks to
this idea, I had to consider how
sad and depressed I would be cer-
tain to make all of our readers.

Why, I realized, at this very
moment, no doubt, they are throw-
ing themselves whole-heartedly in-
to summer activities, so as to
overcome this great sense of loss
and of ending.

Thus, if this column were to
bring back memories of the
study smokers, now empty, of
Buttrick classrooms, now empty,
of the Library, now empty, etc.,
it would be most unfair, not to
mention the pain it would in-
volve.

So instead, I thought to myself,
why don't I just encourage their

summer pursuits? After all, They
Can Be Fun. Just think of all the
time we now have to indulge in
recreational activities (one of the
main factors for a Scott girl's
anticipation of summer.)

Just think of the boating, swim-
ming, tennis, golf, water-skiing,
bike rides, hikes or just plain old-
fashioned walks (just to mention
a few) !

In other words all the fun
things we did at school, we can
now do at home.

Just think of the physical stami-
na and good health, not to mention
the fantastic shape we'll all be in
by the end of the summer!

So let us not waste another
minute. Right now, since you've
finished reading the paper (you
can skip the advertisements I'm
sure by this time we all know
them by heart and since you're
sitting indoors doing nothing (don't
try to deny it we know you
are), on the count of three let
us all run with light heart to the
great out-of-doors and indulge!

One (last one out is a rotten
egg) . . . Two (remember SHAPE!)
. . . Three!

All out? See you next fall!

In September of 1959 the present
senior class, over 200 strong, de-
scended upon the Agnes Scott
ampus. Since then we have dwindl-
ed 'to a graduating class of 120; yet
within this core are the elements
which make up the diversified unity
which is our class.

Freshmen and Sophomores

Our freshman year we were not
only diversified but also typically
oblivious. Out of this oblivion,
however, came the sophomore class
who had won the scholarship tro-
phy for their efforts of the pre-
vious year.

Having tried scholarship for a
year, we decided to take up a new
talent acting. For this we won
first place in the skits connected
with Junior Jaunt.

"The Tragedy of Orkin and
Eureka" has since been expanded
into our Senior Opera production
which won wide acclaim as the
best Senior Opera of the year.
Juniors

Our junior year found us the
winners of the Spirit Cup. In addi-
tion to this, over the years, we have
received various sportsmanship
trophies.

Graduate Remembers

By JULIA PRATHER

Class of 1963

One thing about graduation
(contrary to popular opinion) is
the fact that most of us usually
leave the same way we came
wide eyed and excited about what
is in store for us next.

But at the same time we are
thinking about what we are going
to do in the future years, we are
also thinking about what we have
been doing for the past four years.

Our feelings about leaving it all
are quite mixed.

Most of us will probably never
write another paper, or take
another test again. Make what
you will of that!

We will never see many of our
friends again and close ties will
slowly be severed.

We will also never have to
keep all our worldly possessions
from soap to coffee pots in one
room.

We will miss the challenging
academic atmosphere where the
main objective is to learn. We will
also never have to step on at least
300 dead worms on the way to
breakfast on rainy mornings.

We hate to leave the faculty and
administration, but take with us
the ideals and standards we have
formulated here.

We hate to leave the little
things; the sound of the lawn

mowers in spring, the last night
in the dorm before vacations,
impromptu jam sessions in the
Hub, the Christmas tree beside
Walters, exam teas.

We don't feel so strongly about
leaving radiators that bang, phones
that are always busy, the dash to
get in by time limit, and six tests
and four papers in one week.

The trivial and the important
we leave it all. The big things and
the little things that seem big at
the time.

We leave knowing we will never
have an experience that will mean
as much to us.

And seriously, it's not really
so bad meeting 300 dead worms
first thing in the morning.

The field of athletics has been
one of our particularly strong
points. Our freshman year we won
the Softball championship, our
sophomore year the volleyball
championship. Our endeavors dur-
ing our senior year are noteworthy
in that we won only three out of
the 18 games in which we partici-
pated.

Seniors

Each year we have diffused more
obviously into every area of campus
life. As seniors, we have manifested
our preparations of the past three
years.

In addition to filling the various
positions of leadership, we have
produced 12 members of Who's
Who, 13 Phi Beta Kappas, and 8
members of Mortar Board.

We have the recipient of a
Woodrow Wilson scholarship and a
Fulbright scholars, among others
who have received scholarships for
graduate work.

Compared to past classes we
are probably unique in that we
never won a Black Cat song con-
test. It took us four years to win a
hockey game.

These are the highlights of our
four years at Scott. Our history
cannot be classified as a long rec-
ord of awards. On the other hand,
it cannot be described as a period
of stagnation by any means.

Probably the most general obser-
vation that can be made, as we
leave, is that the history of the
Class of 1963 does not lend itself to
duplication.
