Convocation Opens New Year At ASC Six hundred sixty-seven old and new students gathered in Presser Hall Friday as Convocation formal- ly opened the new term. Dr. Alston welcomed the student body on behalf of the faculty and administration and Mr. William C. Wardlaw, Jr., vice-chairman of the Board of Trustees, challenged the group to maintain high spiritual values as well as superior academic standards Miss Sarah Frances McDonald, president of the National Alumnae Association, pointed out one prob- lem at Agnes Scott the lack of communication between the stu- dents, faculty, and administration and the alumnae. She appealed to the students to correct this situa- tion by getting acquainted with the alumnae. DR. ERNEST J. SIMMONS Russian To Give Scholar Address Dr. Ernest J. Simmons of Columbia University will de- liver the Honors Day address October 3 in Convocation.

Yale Confers Ph.D. On French Scholar Miss Frances Clark, assistant professor of French, was recently awarded her Ph.D. from Yale Uni- versity. After studying at Yale, Miss Clark came to Agnes Scott where she completed the requirements for the doctorate while she taught French. Last spring she ended her dissertation, "Pascal's Concept of the Heart," and accepted her de- gree. With the opening of Agnes Scott for the 1962-1963 session the total number of students registered on this campus reaches the figure of 667. Two hundred sixteen are fresh- men, 186 sophomores, 142 juniors, 121 seniors, and two are special students. Some foreign students and those who have not been classified are called special students. In the student body this year approximately 28 states are repre- sented, as well as District of Co- lumbia and 11 foreign countries, including the Canal Zone, Ger- many, Italy, Japan, Sweden and Pakistan. Among the 229 new students there are 216 freshmen, 11 trans- fers, and the two special students. The transfers hail from 10 differ- ent colleges, and in the freshman class there are graduates from 172 schools, 150 of which are public and 22 private. Of the new stu- dents 18 are daughters or grand- daughters of alumnae. Ambassador to Pakistan W. P. McConaughy will discuss infor- formally the current situation in Pakistan. All Agnes Scott stu- dents are invited to this meet- ing which will be held in the cabin Saturday afternoon, Sept. 29 at 3:00.

'TTTTTTTTTTTTTT , News Subscriptions For Parents, Friends $2.00 per year Box 208 i THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, September 26, 1962 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. Letters to Editor A A, A The Agnes Scott lVews Published weekly except holiday* and examination periods, by the students of Airnes Scott College.

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, Michael L. Ingerman William R. Martin P. O. Box 2548 Washington 13, D.C. September 21, 1962. 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) Wednesday, September 26, 1962 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 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. The artistic board of the Berlin 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 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.

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.

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." Ellington Grocery Co. 307 E.

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!)

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.

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. Independent Study Program Nominates 29 Upperclassmen Students who have been invited to participate in the Independent Study program were announced in Convocation this morning. The object of the Program of In- dependent Study is to give to superior students the opportunity to explore for themselves some field of intellectual or artistic in- terest and to produce independent- ly some piece of work connected 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 the program during their senior year. Transfer students and students who reach a B average during the spring quarter of the junior year are to be notified early in the sum- mer. The following students are eligi- ble as of July, 1962: Ipek Aksugur, Sandra Johnson Barrow, Rebecca Lynn Bruce, Bryce Burgess, Martha Elizabeth Chew. Sarah Stokes Cumming, Nancy Malloy Duvall, Sara Ellen Ector, Sigrid Hanson Fowler, Mary Ann Gregory, Eugenia Stovall Heath and* Jo Ann Hoit have also quali- fied. Other seniors who are eligible are: Carol Ruth Hickey, Mary Ann Lusk, Nancy Catherine McCoy, Martha Murray McKinnon, Lucy Floyd Morcock, Nancy Miller Phillips and Linda June Plemons. Also invited are: Anne Claiborne Rose, Miriam Wiley St. Clair, Caroline Teague, Mary Beth Thomas and Rosslyn Troth. Louisa Walton, Sally Rodwell Whetstone, Linda Craig Wilson, Irene Elizabeth Withers and Mariane Wurst have also met the requirements. 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. In Convocation this morning, while the class of 1965 (present The scholarship award goes to the class with the highest acade- mic average in relation to the three preceding classes of that level.

The Class of 1964 had seventeen 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 and of Russian literature at Columbia University and its Rus- sian Institute. 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 with a reception following in Re- 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. Thursday the professor will lunch with all seniors doing inde- pendent study in Dostoevsky, while Friday during lunch he will dis- cuss Russian literature with senior English majors. Bible Scholar To Speak For Lectures Oct. 16-18 Prof. Samuel L. Terrien of Union Theological Seminary in New York will be a visitor to the Agnes Scott campus October 16-18. Although Dr. Terrien is an American citizen, he was born and educated in France. He is an ordained minister in the Reformed Church in France, which is equi- valent to the Presbyterian Church in the United States. During his stay at ASC Dr. Terrien will speak not only to the student body, but also to individual classes. On Tuesday, Oct. 16, at 8 p.m. he will present his opening lecture, "Job: Poem of Irony and Faith." On Wednesday he will be the guest speaker at Convocation. Any students interested in theo- logy are invited to attend class- room lectuees on Thursday. At 8:30 a.m. Dr. Terrien will speak to Miss Boney's class on the Hebrew Prophets. He will ad- dress Dr. Garber's class of Bible 304 at 11:10 a.m., and at 2 p.m. he will talk to the students of Miss Boney's Bible 201. Dr. Terrien has done outstand- ing work in theology and wisdom literature. He was Associate Editor of the Interpreters Bible and he has written two Biblical commentaries Job: Poet of Existence and TJte Psalms and Their Meaning for Today and a pictured Bible atlas Lands of the Bible. members named for work during the sophomore year.

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 (Continued on Page 4) Internationally Speaking II. S. Pakistani Ambassador Explains Far East Situations By LELIA JONES Under the excellent auspices of the newly-created World Awareness Committee, Mr. Walter McConaughy, the U. S. 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. Q.

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 Visit or Phone WATSON PHARMACY For Prompt 1 Delivery DR 3-165 YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE a 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.

'Roun-Town Bring Shoe Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc. 141 Clairmont Ave. DR 3-3676 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 Welcome To Decatur!

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 (Continued on Page 4) 4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, October 3, 1962 99 Tempo "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. Nancy Gheesling Lindskog share memories. and Lyn European ASC To Celebrate World Communion People all over the world will take Communion together on Sun- day, October 7. Agnes Scott stu- dents will participate in this World Communion service at 5 p.m. in McClean Audiotorium. The Genevan form of Com- munion, originated in 1542, will be used. A Calvinistic form, it is different from the conventional forms used in most Atlanta churches. Dr. Kwai Sing Chang will con- duct the service with Dr. Wallace M. Alston assisting. Others par- ticipating in the service include Cantey Bryan and eight foreign students.

This feeling is what we are trying to encourage and to nourish through the efforts of World Awareness Committee. It is exciting, it is vast, and it is vital. The theme of activities on campus this year is "Focus". Our aim is to add another word to that theme to help each student achieve a clear "Focus: World." We're off to a fine start the finish depends upon each of you who reads this letter. Can we erase the passive word "apathy" and replace it with an active "Focus: World"?

Internationally (Continued from Page 2) the Peace Corps in Pakistan? A.The members of the Peace Corps are working in the areas of farming, nursing, sanitation, en- gineering, and teaching, among others. In the West wing there are more teaching and fewer out working with their hands. At first there was the fear that the Peace Corps was going to take over the jobs of the Pakistanis, particularly as teachers. Since the people have begun to realize that the Peace Corps is trying to com- plement the Pakistani efforts, there has been a high measure of public acceptance. Q. What do you think of The Ugly American? A. In my opinion the authors have oversimplified the situa- tion. In being venal, the charac- ters are not representative.

At this time the regular supervisor must be away, thus vacating a job that really re- quires a professional worker.

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.

Hub Reading Room Opens This Evening The Hub's Blue Room will have an aura of world awareness begin- ning October 10. Social Council, in converting it into a reading room, urges girls to use it as a center for quiet discussion of current affairs. Leigh Maddox emphasized that the reading room will be for informal discussion, not studying. Current issues of ATLAS, AT- LANTIC, OBSERVER, THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONT- TOR and The New York TIMES Sunday edition will be available to stimulate interest. The World Awareness Commit- tee will be in charge of a bulletin board devoted to international problems. Members of Social Council will post Atlanta area news on a second bulletin board. Students are urged to partici- pate in the campus trend toward increased world awareness by tak- ing advantage of the reading room. 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. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, October 10, 1962 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. Tempo Twenty - \t\Rze 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.

Copy Editor Campus Beat Entertainment Campus Editor ^ Advertising Manasrer Vi "But now do you expect pass?," asked our heroine. to "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." Wednesday, October 10, 1962 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 3 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 Miss Louise McKinney is shown with last year's display of 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. Above map shows proximity of Pakistan to China and Russia.

Alumnae Center Active For Campus Progress By LIL HARRIS The little red brick house situated between Hopkins and the dining hall appears at a glance to be very tranquil, but amazingly enough it is the scene of important and sometimes feverish activity.

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! Besides managing an alumnae PRUDTS BEAUTY SALON 123 W. Howard Avee. DR 7-7261 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. 'Roun-Town Fall Season Heralds Trips To Scenic Mountain Spots By VIRGINIA ALLEN 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 exciting! There are special pleasures re- served exclusively for autumn that can't be enjoyed at any other sea- son of the year. For example, the National Railway Historical Socie- ty invites you to climb aboard for a 'ROUND THE \ MO U X T A I X FALL COLOR SPECIAL. It is a non-stop train that makes its way as far north as Etowah, Term., thence eastward through the Hia- wassee Gorge to the famous "Hook and Eye," thence southward thru the copper mining country and home by way of the Blue Ridge. The special train leaves At- lanta's Union Station at 8:00 AoM. on Saturday, Oct. 27, and returns at aproximately 7:15 P.M. Space must be reserved ahead, and the cost is $7.00 per person. You might like to get enough Scotties to reserve a special car. Snacks and complete lunches may be bought en route. Says Dr. Rice, who gave 'ROUND TOWN the word on this great opportunity, "It would make a day that many would enjoy; riding the train away from all or- almost-all care, enjoying the autumn colors."

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.

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.

XLIX AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, October 24, 1962 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. Participants must have practiced three times before the meet Kay 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. traditional through modem, as possible." He began his collection over 15 years ago. Prior to this time he concentrated on manu- scripts and first editions. The artists in the collection range from Pablo Picasso to Rem- brandt van Rijn.

President Martha Chew asks that all inter- ested students submit their poems and short stories before the dead- line of November 7. All students are eligible except first and second quarter Freshmen. Entries should be submitted with- out the name of the author to Box 426 in the mailroom. Goirgio de Chirico, and Andrew Wyeth. Mr. Dalton declined to name his favorite painting, but Mrs. Dalton is particularly fond of a painting attributed to Jacob Jordaens. Other painters represented are: Jean Batail, Thomas Eakins, Win- slow Homer, Sir Russell Flint, Ubaldo Magnavacca, Aldo Nava, and Serge Clement. The exhibition includes two sur- realistic paintings, several land- scapes, portraits, and impression- istic scenes. Representatives of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution news- papers, outstanding patrons of the arts in the Atlanta area and stu- dents and friends of the college at- tended the opening reception Sun- day. In order that visitors who will be on campus for Senior Investi- ture the week end of November 3 may have an opportunity to view the Dalton collection, the display will remain through November 11. The gallery will be open daily from 2-5 p.m. 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 Receives 8 Initiates The Agnes Scott chapter of Eta 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. Transfer students coming into the Alpha Delta chapter are Jane Marks and Judy Hollingsworth. The purpose of the fraternity is to encourage scholarship in Greek and Latin. The group plans to 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.

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 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 when can we get to- gether and talk about that paper you are writing?" "Well I have judicial meeting on Monday after- noon, and classes every morning. Tuesday, I have dance group and Wednesday I have world awareness com- mittee and Thursday is cabin cleanup day." "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 learn, but what is thrown at her 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. "Sally. I see you are in charge not the intellectual atmosphere j of the Committee on Committees that needs discussion but the j this year. The campus leaders are extra-curricular atmosphere that -so glad.

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.

A member of the student body, Mrs. Lindy Gerreald Rector, parti- cipated in this program last sum- mer, and she emphatically insists that next to getting married it was the most wonderful experience of her life! Working in a small German town about twenty miles from the East German border, Lindy was thrown without any knowledge of German among people who spoke not a word of English. By the end of the sum- mer she was fluent in the collo- quial language. Considering the opportunities of imbibing European culture and learning a language, for which ASIS provides ample free time, one couldn't find a better deal for seeing Europe. This program offers a unique chance to have genuine associa- tions with European people as well as an exposure to the culture abroad. If interested in this opportunity, write to Dept. P. ,ASIS, 22 Avenue de la Liberte, Luxembouurg City, Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. Travel grants and cash scholar- ships up to $175 will be awarded to the first 1,000 applicants! XAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA/V 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.

"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!

Scholars Elect Subjects, Begin Independent Study Many topics ranging from "Slime Molds" to Dostoyevsky have been chosen for Independent Study work this year Work in the Bible field is being done by Sandra Johnson Barrow on the subject of Paul's letters dur- ing the fall quarter under the supervision of Miss Boney and winter quarter under Mr. Garber. The Biology Department is repre- sented by Mary Beth Thomas who is working both fall and spring quarter on "slime molds" under Miss Groseclose. Becky Bruce and Rosalyn Troth are doing work in chemistry. Becky has chosen Inorganic Chemistry study for all three quarters under Dr. Frierson. Rosalyn, also working under Dr. Frierson for the year, chose Analytical Chemistry. The department of English, how- ever, is working with eight stu- dents. Among these are Sigrid Fowler, Caroline Teague, and Marianne Wurst who are all work- ing on Dostoyevsky. These three girls are working only during the fall and spring quarter, under the direction of Dr. Hayes.

French this year is represented by Sally Ector, who begins work winter quarter and continues spring quarter on Francois Villon under Miss Allen. Elizabeth (Deedie) Withers has chosen the German Thomas Mann as the subject of her endeavour under the direction of Miss Harn. History and Political Science are represented by Miriam St. Clair and Nancy McCoy. The former will work winter and spring quarters under Mr. Swart on the Prussian Reform Period. Nancy, too, is working winter and spring quar- ters but is as of yet undecided about her topic. Mathematics is the area chosen by Sarah (Stokie) Cummings, Irene Lavinder, and Carol Hickey. Sarah, whose subject is Modern Abstract Algebra, is working win- ter and spring quarters under Miss Ripy, while Carol is doing Modern Geometry under Mr. Nelson. Irene has not yet decided. Finally, the Philosophy depart- ment claims the endeavors of Ipek Aksugur, whose subject is Nietz- sche and whose supervisor is Mr. Kline.

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. A6NES SCOn COLLEGE Founded 1889 An Independent liberal arts college for women of highest rank academically, located In the Atlanta metropolitan area. The first project of the commit- tee was the sponsorship of Am- bassador to Pakistan W. P. Mc- Conaughy, who spoke in the Cabin on Sept. 29. Another project of the committee is the sponsorship, in conjunction with Social Council, of a reading room in the Hub where students will have access to current periodicals and news- papers from all over the world. Members of the World Aware- ness Committee are: Nancy Walk- er, representing Athletic Associa- tion; Nancy Yontz, Christian Asso- ciation; Cheryl Winegar, Repre- sentative Council and the NEWS; Becky Reynolds, Social Coun- cil; Sarah Cumming, Chi Beta Phi; and Pam Elliot and Margaret Rodgers, International Relations Club.

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. Two Boards Name 54 Representatives Representatives to the Joint House Council and the Christian Association Hall representatives were elected last week. Those representing the Freshman Class on the Joint House Council are Patricia Aycock, Dorothy Zeller, Loretta Colucci, Ourania Gounares, Suzanne Malloy, Judy Broadaway, Susan Ledford, Jenny Davis, Martha Doom, Barbara Brubaker and Julia Burns. Sophomore representatives to Joint House Council include Laura Sanderson, Helen Davis, Elaine Orr, Lynn Burton, Barbara Bowers and Nancy Solomson. Martha Griffith, Jan Freeman, Sue Mc- Leod, Betty Earle Speer, Ginny Belcher, Mary Adair Pittman, Brenda Brooks, Patricia LeGrand and Michele Bullard will represent the Juniors. Senior representatives include Anna Belle Freeman, Mary Louise Hunt, Lydia Sudbury, Caroline Teague and Angelina Bagiatis. The Christian Association Repre- sentatives are Ann Booton, Judy Hillsman, Martha McNair, Ann Shield, Sue Parkin, Mary Jo Beverly, Susan Kapple, Crawford McGinnis, Diane Hunter and Judy Little from the cottages. Hopkins representatives to Chris- tian Association are Peggy Bell and Brandon Moore. Sarah S tow- ers, Judy Ahrarno and Alice Boyd are from Inman and Virginia Quattlebaum and Louise Smith represent Main. Rebekah has as its representatives Ann Morse, Lilli Peeples, Susan Dorn, Carol Davenport, Shirley Nelson and Donna Wright. These girls will serve as liasons between student government or the campus Christian Association and the student body. The Investiture program will be- gin at 11:45 Saturday morning in Gaines Chapel. Dr. Kwai Sing Chang of our faculty has been chosen by the senior class to give the address, which will be followed by the capping ceremony. Dr. Chang, Associate Professor of Philosophy and Bible, has been at Scott since 1956. Previously, he served as pastor of the Congre- gational Church of Kodala, Ha- waii, and was on the faculty of the University of Hawaii, from which he holds his B.A. degree. He received his B.D. and Th.M. degrees from Princeton Theologi- cal Seminary, and his Ph.D. de- gree from the University of Edin- burgh, Scotland. Also, Dr. Chang has the honor of being the father of Jasmine Chang, who is mascot of the Class of 1963. A tea will be held from 3:30 to 5:00 on Saturday afternoon in Wal- ters Recreation Room for the faculty, the seniors, and their par- ents and friends. On Sunday morn- ing at 8:30 a breakfast will be given in Rebekah Scott Hall for the parents of seniors. The last event of Investiture Weekend will be the eleven o'clock worship service, in Gaines chapel. Dr. Earl Strickland, president of Wesleyan College, will preach the sermon, and the Agnes Scott Glee Club will sing an anthem. World Awareness Group To Sponsor UN Assembly Sally Ector, Chairman of the campus World Awareness the plans for the Mock United Nations Assembly to be held Students will have the oppor-j tunity to sign up as a member of j one of the one hundred and eight delegations between November 5 and November 6 in the mailroom. The members of the delegations should write to the country which they will represent in the mock assembly and secure any pam- phlets or other information about the country its government, eco- nomic system, its culture that will be helpful in planning an in- telligent platform. Library books are available as further sources of information. The Reading Room of the Hub will , feature a list of foreign students in the Atlanta area with which stu- dents may meet to discuss aspects of their chosen country. Science Foundation Offers Fellowships Seniors interested in furthering their education by graduate study may apply to the National Science Foundation for Graduate and Post- doctoral Fellowships for the 1963- 1964 year. Awards will be an- nounced on March 15, 1963. Fellowships for study in mathe- matical, physical, medical, biologi- cal and engineering sciences will be offered. Also awards in anthro- pology, psychology (excluding clini- cal psychology), geography, econo- mics (excluding business admini- stration), sociology (not including social work) will be given. Also in- cluded are the history and philo- sophy of science. The grants are open to college seniors, graduate and postdoctoral students, and all others with equivalent training and experience. All applicants must be citizens of the United States and will be judged on the basis of ability. Applicants for the graduate awards will be required to take the Graduate Record Examination de- signed to test scientific aptitude and achievement. This examination will be given on January 19, 1963, at designated centers throughout the United States and certain foreign countries. The annual stipends for grad- uate fellowships are as follows: $1,800 for the first level; $2,000 for the intermediate level; and $2,200 for the terminal level. Limit- ed allowances will also be provid- ed to apply toward tuition, labora- tory fees and travel. Further information and applica- tion materials may be obtained from the Fellowship Office, Na- tional Academy of Sciences-Na- tional Research Council, 2101 Con- stitution Avenue, N.

Delegations are encouraged to write to the United Nations in securing further material for speeches. Students should be pre- pared to debate and to discuss the issues on the College UN agenda as if they are representing that country's interests in UN affairs. Delegation meetings may be held in the old Silhouette room of the Hub. To reserve the room, stu- dents are asked to sign the name of the delegation on the calendar posted on the door. Each delegation will elect a chairman, and the names of these girls must be submitted to the World Awareness Committee be- fore November 13. On Friday, November 9, the dele- gations from the United States, Russia, Great Britain, France, and Nationalist China will meet to nom- Committee, today announced on campus Saturday, April 20. inate students for the positions of Secretary-General and President of the United Nations. The election of the UN Secretary General and President will take place in Student Body meeting on Thursday, November 15. In addi- tion to those girls nominated by the Security Council, nominations for these two offices will be taken from the floor. A roll-call vote of the delegations will be taken at this time, and each delegation will have one vote. Several other events are planned for the remainder of the quarter in connection with the campus mock UN General Assembly. On November 5 the dining hall staff will cooperate with the program by sponsoring an International Night at supper. World Awareness Committee will sponsor Chapel on November 13, and there students will have an opportunity to learn of the basic functions and workings of the UN. Institute Offers 7 Scholarships For European University Study Scholarship applications for undergraduate study in Europe during the academic year 1963-64 will be accepted by the Institute of European Studies 'beginning Thursday, Nov. 1. Seven scholarships are being' offered for study at the Institute's centers in Vienna, Paris, and Frei- burg, West Germany. Included are three full scholarships which cover all basis costs such as tuition, fees, field-study trips, room, most meals, and round-trip ocean trans- portation from the United States. Each program embraces formal classes, lectures, seminars and field-study, and is designed to ful- fill usual course requirements at its academic level, officials of the Institute said. The programs in Vi- enna and Paris are open to college sophomores and juniors, while the Freiburg program is limited to juniors. A full scholarship valued at $2,230 and partial scholarships valued at $500 and $1,000 are available for the Institute's pro- gram at the University of Vienna. The program there combines English-taught liberal arts and general studies courses, intensive German language instruction, reg- ular university courses taught in German for those competent in that language, and supplementary lectures and seminars. Previous knowledge of German is not re- quired. For its program at the Universi- ty of Freiburg, the Institute is offering a full scholarship worth $2,125 and a partial scholarship valued at $1,000. The program stresses political science, German language study, German philoso- phy and literature, and European history, with all classes taught in German. Scholarships offered for study in Paris include one covering all basic costs, equivalent to $2,475, and a partial scholarship valued at $500. Intended for superior students, the program encom- passes liberal arts and general studies combined with opportuni- ties for independent study at the University of Paris and other in- stitutes of higher learning in Paris. The Institute's announcement said scholarships will be granted on the basis of academic achieve- ment, financial needs, and recom- mendation by the applicant's "home" college or university. Applicants must be aged 18 to 24 and unmarried. Completed applications must be submitted no later than Feb. 15 r 1963. Forms and descriptive liter- ature are available from the Insti- tute of European Studies, 35 E. Wacker Drive, Chicago 1. SENIOR INVESTITURE PRACTICE Thursday in Gaines at 4:30 Please bring your heels 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.

Get out of the spectator's rut and get into the game. Ever tried ice-skating? There's a rink at the Belvedere shopping center, or drive out to The Igloo on Hub-bub 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 'ROUND TOWN? Wednesday, October 31, 1962 MB AGNW SCOTT NEWS 3 Tempo 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. COPYRIGHT (S) 1961, THE COCA-COLA COMPANY.

BAILEY'S Shoe Shop 57 Years In Decatur Look At Your Shoes 142 Sycamore Street Cuban Publication Presents Picture Of Island Conditions 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. July 21, 1962 Cuba's controlled radio announced this morning that chil- dren between 12 and 16 years old will not attend classes at the Ceiba del Agua Technological School for they have been "honored" with the task of watching over the anti-aircraft guns that protect the school. custom the workers to teaching, to Marxist thoughts, and to political ideas . . . The Minister of Educa- tion said that "the work of ideo- logy was as important as any other kind of work." July 22 The Government Official Enter- prise that controls the production and distribution of meat, an- nounced that it will establish a new regulation in Havana for the distribution of this product. From 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. August 3 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- dance from one day to the other 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- ers in this world are." September 2 Moscow: "The Soviet Union will provide Cuba with arms deliveries to help meet threats of aggressive imperialist elements", the Soviet news agency Tass reported ... In view of the threats of the agres- sive imperialist quarters, the government of the Cuban republic addressed the Soviet government with the requst for help by de- livering armaments and sending technical specialists for the train- ing of Cuban servicemen . . . After these conferences, the headlines of the Havana government-controlled press announced that: "Cuba is not alone in its fight against Yankee Imperialism." September K A Havana communique said that all employees from the City Bus Company and Hospitals of that city that do not become active members of the Communist Party are to be expelled from their jobs. The Minister of Education, Armando Hart, recently issued a dispatch ordering all the students from the secondary school "Simon Bolivar" to join the batallions en- gaged in the picking of coffee. He finally "exhorted parents to en- courage their sons to fulfill their duty toward their country by tak- ing part in any job necessary to the improvement of production." Lazaro Pena, Secretary General of the Confederation of Cuban Workers, said before an assembly of the Municipal Councils of Edu- cation, that it was necessary to ac- ' one will detain them, One thousand, seven hundred and fifty children have died in 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.

We Cubans do not fear the sacrifice and support this af- firmation with the feats perform- ed daily by our people. Our free- dom fighters, the Cubans in exile and in combat, have proved it at the price of their blood; the in- vasion patriots did not fear the holocaust when they said "pres- ent" at their rendezvous with destiny and relived on the sands of a Cuban beach the scenes that years before were lived by the Hungarians on the streets of Bud- apest . . .

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! Magazine To Offer Editorships, Prizes Do you have talent as an artist or writer? Why not try your skill and enter one of the Mademoiselle College Board Contests. The grand prize is to be selected as the 1963 guest editor-in-chief. These winners are given a month's vacation in New York while being allowed to work for Mademoiselle on the staff.

The deadline for these con- tests is March 1, 1963. 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." loudest voices, than that between the hockey teams. A word of praise goes to the Sophomores, who turned out in unusual number and in usual 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 Bring Shoe Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Bepair, Inc. 141 Clairmont Ave. DR 3-3676 Visit or Phone WATSON PHARMACY For Prompt Delivery DR 3-1665 YOUR NEAREST DRUC STORE voice, and who spurred the white and gold to a hard-fought 2-1 win over the Juniors.

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. u 2 u Dr. George P.

Emory and Tech two highs each of 21. The Twelve members of the Class of 1963 will be listed in this year's edition of "Who's Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities. ,, These seniors were elected by the members of their class, subject to faculty approval, for their leadership, citizenship, service and promise of future usefulness.

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- rectly identified Arthur Goldberg as a new member of the Supreme Court, a few befuddled souls man- aged to instate Barry Goldwater in his place. In the same vein, one Tech man (Continued on Page 4) 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, November 14, 1962 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. Tempo 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. -TTTTTTTTTT* oCetterd to tlte Editor The Jjqnes Scntt News Fublished we'.dy except holiday* and examination periods, by the students ol Ajrnes Scott College.

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"! Martha Montmeat Not only the Communists, but Machiavcllists Comrade Editor. 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.

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.

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." Anneke Schepman 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. IS!, 1961 ' the Cocmou company, coca.^ and COKE ARE REO.STERED TRADEMARKS GREAT BETWEEN COURSES !

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- mala, Betsy Feuerlein; Hungary, Maxine Housh; India, Annabelle Freeman; Portugal, Cathy Draper; Somalia, Ann Williams; Sweden, Peggy Bell; U. S. S. R., Marilyn Little; U. S., Diane David; United Arab Republic, Sonja Nelson; Venezuela, Sylvia Thorne; Yugo- slavia, Kay Harvey; Algeria, Sue Marshall; Byelorussia S. S. R., D'Etta Barnhardt. Completing the list are: Ethio- pia, Molly Gehan; Tanganyila, Muriel Lindsay; Yemen, Corny Bryant; New Zealand, Bobbie Trammell; Jan Gaskell, Nigeria; Leopoldville, Judy Hollingsworth ; Pakistan, Margaret Murphy; Ghana, Jane Wallace.

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.

And the Tech men were ahead of Emory in realizing that the gentlemen should precede, in order to break a fall. (Premeditated, maybe?) Internationally Speaking 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 The independent college belongs to those who be- lieve in it. It can have no other ownership.

Campus Countdown By SUSAN KEITH-LUCAS Spring seems not to be the only season when a 4 'young man's fan- cy" turns to Scotties, for the fall quarter finds a multitude of rings and pins rivalling the brilliance of the leaves. Junior Kelly Mulherin flashes her diamond in anticipation of her wedding December 29 to Jack Oates, a middler at Columbia Seminary. Nancy Rose is engaged to Semi- nary graduate John Ellington, but will wait until June 28 to join the ranks of ministers' wives. Ann Debele also has a precious "rock" from Dave Herbertson, a senior at Davidson. They hope for 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- sisters, Eve Anderson and Liz Stewart. Kathy McCauley has the Lamb- da Chi pin of Tech junior Al Secur, and Kay Cook is pinned to Billy Schafer from the Citadel. Marty Jackson, a sophomore, has Tech graduate Dick Frame's SAE pin, while junior Biddy Smith wears the KA pin of Johnny Long, an Emory senior. to flee to West Berlin. She was killed when she swam a lake, which crosses the border. She was seventeen years old. Will you please excuse me for telling you such a sad story, but it simply is the truth. I think you can get a better idea of what is going on here, than if I would write about political facts, which by the way, news- paper reporters can give much better than I could. If you want to know anything in particular, give the letter to your editor. You will understand that we must be careful over here and that the names which I used are changed.

Sociology Reports Aid U.N. Delegates Delegates to the mock United Nations General Assembly have an opportunity to receive information concerning their country without going to too much trouble, due to an assignment in a sociology course. Members of Sociology 316, a course in population study, during the weeks after Thanksgiving will be presenting oral reports of com- plete research into the condi- tions of a particular country of the world. Professor Anna Green Smith in- vites all delegates representing the specific countries discussed to at- tend the class which meets at 11:10 ajn. during the week when the country in which she is inter- ested is described. Countries and the days on which the reports will be given include: Australia, Nov. 28; Ireland, Dec. 4; Japan, Dec. 5; France, Dec. 6; Sweden and China, Dec. 7; India and Brazil, Dec. 10; and Hong Kong, Dec. 11. 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.

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- sent its nation.

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.

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. Tempo Ignorance On Campus Causes Student Apathy By FRANCES ANDERSON Place: The Hub Time: Anytime during the academic year. Characters: Scot ties all ages, shapes and sizes. Setting: Ann, an Agnes Scott News reporter, in search of a story has just joined a group of said Scotties in said place. "You all, I have been having the worst time getting anything out |I of the Rule llll Changes Ctorrim.it- fH tee or the Smok- ing Committee or any of the boards about policy change. They all seem to know that there are millions of things up for change but no one will talk. It is all a big secret and I am supposed to get a news story!" "What is all this secretiveness?" Sally Soph went on, "It sounds like a big conspiracy to me!" "I would venture to say it was," Ann said in defeat. "Now wait a minute," a board member spoke in defense, "it is not at aH like that. When we make changes we feel it is better that all the problems involved be ironed out before any change is announced." "That may sound fine but shouldn't the student body know what is proposed for changes 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." The Agnes Scott News Published weekly except holiday* and xajBiaatUm perUds. fcy the student* of Apnea Scott College.

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! Visit #r Phene WATSON PHARMACY Fr Prompt Delivery DR 3-1665 YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE 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 'Roun-Town Jean Hoefer meditates on best strategy for a victory the Western Imperialists. the over Special Atlanta Activities Soften Fall Quarter Panic By VIRGINIA ALLEN Panic!

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 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!

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. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, January 23, 1963 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. Internationally Speaking 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 best positions idamage to stev enson' S prestige Miss Frederick said in an ex- clusive interview during her recent visit to the camp- us that Steven- son had entered the United Na - tions in one of "We lack a quorum today, so possible, for he knew most of the delegates ^sJP from his previ- ous political experience and was greatly admired and respected.

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.

Editor _ _ _ OHHRYL WTNEOAB , ICsnartnff Editor .MAHIANE WURS7 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.

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. ..

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. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, January 30, 1963 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."

We talk Quarter," Britain wants some cake with her tea 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. The Agnes Scntt News Published weekly except holiday-* end examination periods, by the students of Agnes Scott College.

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!

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.

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. R. E.

Gallery Sells Work Of Modern Artists Now on display in the art gallery in Buttrick Hall is a collection of Graphics by Modern Masters. The show is open to the public until the end of January. Renoir, Picasso and Villon are only three of the many well-known artists whose works are being ex- ibited. The drawings include wood- engravings, lithographs, etchings and woodcuts. There are also pages from a thirteenth century English Bible and the Dutch Book of Hours. The display is not limited to artists of any one nationality, Japanese, Spanish, French, Russian and Swiss designs are well repre- sented in the gallery. The graphics are for the most part originals, and they are all for sale at prices ranging from three to thirty dollars. 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.

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.

There are colored and ink draw- ings of the Indians and animals of the Southwest. 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. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, February 6, 1963 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. Hub-bub Weekend Provides Chances To Reflect By JULIA PRATHER Somewhere between the excitement of coming as Freshmen and the excitement of leaving as Seniors lies the Sopho- more Year. "Will it be this . . .again?' 1 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. 4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday February 6, 1963 Tempo 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 ? Bess Finch (left) and Blanche Wynne are Agnes Scott alumnae who will be featured in many of the ballets of the Atlanta Concert Dance Group this season. Atlanta Group To Present ASC Alumnae Ballet Dancers The Community Playhouse will be >the scene of the seventh an- nual performance of the Atlanta 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 sister designs the costumes, her brother designs and executes sets, and her husband makes photo- graphs of rehearsals and per- formances which are used for pub- licity and for the souvenir pro- grams. performance of old Vienna. The "Bottom of the Sea" with 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. For ticket information, call CE. 7-8829. 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 SOPHOMORE PARENTS' WEEKEND SPECIAL!

"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." Student Group Sponsors 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 shop for a whole new wardrobe!

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.

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.

Agnes Scott News VOL. XLK AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, February 20, 1963 No. 14 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. Leyb urn Speak: On Founder's Day 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 and wrote Satiric Allegory: Mirror of Man, which was published in 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. Alumnae in other parts of the country will meet with members of the faculty or administration at 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 to Shreveport, La., for the cele- 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- bama; and Dean Marguerite Rob- erts of the University of Rich- mond's Westhampton College. The visitors will be talking tx> as many of the students as they can in our classes, the library, the dining hall and most probably in the Hub. The Self-Study Commit- tee asks one final favor of you. Please express yourself honestly and sincerely should you be In conversation with one of the visitors. The Self-Study Commit- tee thanks you ahead of time for the cooperation we know you will show. Mrs. Bruce Schaeffer will be < the guest speaker at the open" meeting of the DeKalb Demo-< crats to be held Monday, March J 25 at 8 pjn. in the Biology lee-" ture room of the new Biology I building at Emory. Mrs. Schaef-^ fer is the new director of the" State Department of Welfare." Interested Agnes Scott stu-< dents are invited to attend her* discussion of the proposed < Youth Department of the Wei-' fare Agency. < 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, February 20, 1963 also rests 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."

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. The Reviewer Hub-bub 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.

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. A Concerned Group of Seniors Humanism Debate To Continue in Hub "Christianity and Humanism" will be the topic of the Hub discussion to be led by Miss Katherine Glick at the Hub discussion Wednesday, February 27 at 9 p.m. The discussion will be a continua- tion of the last Hub discussion led by Mr. John Johnston and Dr. Jolih Youngblut, who debated the compatibility of the Christian ideal with the humanist ideal. Miss Glick will put special em- phasis on Greek humanism. The Hub discussions are sponsor- ed by the International Relations Club and World Awareness Com- mittee.

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!

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."

And look around. That's exactly what you've got! movies you can choose from a Racine tragedy (that's PHAEDRA, final- ly at the Peach- tree Art), a b roadway hit | (TWO FOR THE SEESAW at the Rhodes), and a % ' he-man thriller ^.rtiv^HU HEAD at Lowe's). 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- quins whiz the skaters of the 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.

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! See you 'ROUN TOWN? 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! 4 ' TfiE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, February 20, 1963 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 DONT FORGET!

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).

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.

XLEX AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, February 27, 1963 No. 15 Student Body Elections Begin April 1; Campus To Vote On Changes Mar. 7 Student elections will be held Monday through Friday, April 1-5, according to Student Body Presi- 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. Two Glee Clubs To Give Concert Here March 8 The Glee Club of Washington and Lee University will join the Agnes Scott Glee Club to present the annual spring concert at 8 p.m., March 8, in Gaines Audi- torium. The W & L chorus, 50 voices strong and well-known throughout the central and southeastern states, will present a varied program of sacred songs, traditional melodies, spirituals, sea chanties, and hit tunes. The Scott Glee Club will sing several short selections, including three Brahms love songs. Together the two choruses will close the program with Vivaldi's sacred work, Gloria. The concert will be free for the college community, and an admis- sion fee will be charged for off- campus guests. On Sunday, March 3, the Agnes Scott Glee Club will present a portion of a Lenten musical pro- gram at St. Philip's Cathedral in Atlanta. Drama Critics Visit Class Presentation Distinguished critics of drama will be on campus Thursday, Feb- ruary 28, to discuss the acting ability of four Agnes Scott drama students. Scenes from Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet and Othello, O'Neill's Anna Christie, and d'An- nunizio's Gioconda will be present- ed by the Drama 211 class as part of a course requirement. The presentation, which is pri- marily a study in acting, will be followed by an evaluation of the merits of each student in the form of a panel discussion. Members of the panel are Mrs. Kay Hocking, who is director of the Actors' Lab in Atlanta, Mrs. Mary Louise Stark, who holds an MFA in Acting from Yale Uni- versity, and Mr. Ted Kingsford, who is President of Theatre At- lanta. Each student participating in the presentation will appear in two scenes portraying two different characters. Carol McDonald will depict Juliet and Nancy Bruce will act the part of the Nurse in a scene from Romeo and Juliet. In a scene from Othello, Carol will become Emilia while Nancy l akes the role of Desdemona. Elaine Ellis as Anna plays opposite Malie Bruton as Marthy in Anna Christie, and they will appear again in a scene from Gioconda with Elaine as Silvia and Malie as Gioconda. Mr. Robert Singdahlsen is direc- tor of the presentation, while Mr. P. J. Rogers and Mr. C. Dexter White are assisting in setting up the stage and Mr. Richard Hensel is in charge of the music. The entire student body is urged to attend both the presentation of scenes and the panel discussion afterwards in Gaines Auditorium at 7 p.m. tomorrow. The next issue of the' Agnes Scott News will be; published Wednesday, April \ 3. (L) Spring Fling chairmen Becky Bruce and Judy Brantley discuss final plans for Saturday's dance.

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. Visitor To Discuss Summer In Africa A student at Spelman College of Atlanta will speak in chapel Friday on Operation Crossroads. Josephine Dunbar who partici- pated in the program during the past summer will discuss the oppor- tunity to travel to Africa during the summer and work on various projects while living among the people. Immediately after the chapel program an open house will be held at the home of Professor John Tumblin. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, February 27, 1963 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. Hub-bub 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 J soundtrack of the French Revolu- 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 (Continued on Page 3) 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.

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!" 'Roun-Town 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- bows everywhere, it's one of the 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 the drive. And whatever you do do take advantage of the season I There are fascinating things to do in the spring 'ROUN-TOWNI Wednesday, April 17, 1963 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS 3 Committee Picks 22 For Study Program A total of 22 rising seniors have received invitations to participate in the college's Independent Study program during the next school year.

The display is from the "Book of Hours" and also includes Persian miniatures, and color engravings of the 15th to 18th centuries. The show can be found in the art department hall gallery on the third floor of Buttrick and will be up until April 22. or who are invited by their depart- ments will be notified during the summer. Scholar Addresses Honor Convocation James Harrold Plumb, British historian and Walpole scholar, ad- dressed the student body in chapel this morning during the annual Phi Beta Kappa Convocation to celebrate the election of new mem- bers. His topic was "A British View of the American Revolution." The University Center is spon- soring Mr. Plumb, who is making a lecture tour of the country. The scholar will also lecture at Emory University and at Oglethorpe Uni- versity. Mr. Plumb comes here from Christ's College, Cambridge Uni- versity, where in earlier days he received his Ph. D. and Litt. D., having taken first class honors in history for his B. A. degree at London University. Throughout his academic career Mr. Plumb has engaged in various enterprises. Once an Ehrman Research Fel- low at King's College, Cambridge, he is now a Fellow of Christ's Col- lege and a university lecturer in history at Cambridge. From 1950-59 he was a steward and tutor at Christ's College. Besides being a Trustee to the National Portrait Gallery, Mr. Plumb has served as editor of the publication "History of Human Society." In 1959 he was also the European advisory editor to "Horizon." In 1960 Columbia University wel- comed Mr. Plumb as a visiting pro- fessor. Among his publications Mr. Plumb includes a biography of Sir Robert Walpole. Volume I was published in 1956 and Volume U in 1960.

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.

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?

S P. 1 /mk, Hub-bub 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 wonderful things. s ' ood ni S ht - Therefore, each night who had faUen in love in the spring Their thoughts Their evenings would find many young creatures filled with cau S ht * n the sadness of good-byes. exciting exper- While these young ladies were very happy. Tempo Plan-Making Scotties Await Exam Schedule By SUE KEITH-LUCAS 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?

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. By LYNNE MILLER 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."

By MARY HAMP LOWRY 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 rove over to Letitia Pate Evan* dining hall which seems to be mobbed! Ah, yes, we have here a young lady?? breaking into the Hie independent coMege belongs to those who be- lieve in it. It can have mo other ownership.

"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 Tragedy of Orkin and Eureka," this is your roving reporter ROV- ING!!!!! ftop00~*butiiras* canyon? snap 4^t^andfceepgoinsa^fe^ DWttlHOBtaOtoM" 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!

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.

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.

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."

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- mer school work at Harvard Uni- versity was presented to Susan Blackmore.

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. Into the fire near the front steps ot Main seniors can hurl books, Exhibit Displays ASC Art Work Oil paintings, water colors, draw- ings, ceramics and sculptures will be featured in the Spring Quarter Art Exhibition which will be held on the third floor of Buttrick Hall, Wednesday, May 29.

Senior art. work will be on special exhibition in the Art Gallery. old tests and papers, thus avenging 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 ! Tech-Scott Faculty, Ralph McGill Speak "Synthesis or Fractionation", a consideration of technology and the liberal arts, will be the subject of student meeting tomorrow. Development of this theme will be conducted by a panel of Agnes Scott professors and a Georgia Tech chemistry professor. Representing ASC are Miss Frances Harrold, Miss Mary Hart Richardson, S. L. Doerpinghaus and C. F. Martin. 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 "Atlanta Constitution", will speak in chapel on Friday. His topic is as yet undecided, but it will probably deal with some of the issues about which he has been 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 dining room. Dana was born April 25, 1881, 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. Choral Group To Sing Friday The 55-voice Agnes Scott Glee Club will present its spring concert April 24 at 8 p.m. in Gaines Chapel. The public is invited; there is no admission charge. Led by director Richard Hensel, the program will include three songs from the late Renaissance era; "Adoramus Te, Christi," by Orlando di Lasso; "Sing Me a Song," by Orazio Vecchi; and "Fire, Fire, My Heart" by Thomas Morley. Three songs from Brahms' "Mar- ianlieder," two popular folk songs and the cantata "Rejoice in the Lamb" by Benjamin Britten and Christopher Smart are also featured. Committee Considers Exchange For '63-'64 The Scott Exchange Committee is corresponding with several Eastern women's colleges including Bryn Mawr and Mt. Holyoke about an exchange of students next year. The object of the exchange is to give the schools involved an opportunity to exchange ideas. Members of the committee are Mrs. Pepperdene, faculty chairman, Mrs. Walker, Kwai Sing Chang, Dee Hall, student chairman, Marcia McClung, and Diane Hendrix. Dee Hall said that the commit- ee would continue its planning dur- ing the summer and will have de- finite plans made by next fall. 2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, May 22, 1963 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. Hub-bub Parable Sheds Light On Scott Conformity "Once there ruled in the distant city of Wirani a king who was both mighty and wise. And he was 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 inhabitants drank, even the king and his courtiers; for there was no other well. "One night when all were asleep, a witch entered the city, and poured seven drops of strange liquid into the well, and said, 'From this hour he who drinks this water shall become 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!

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 . . .

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. ami mm Simply Wonderful Sportswear OPEN DAILY 9:305:30 Open Friday Night Until 8:30 133 Sycamore St. "On The Square" In Decatur I have upon occasion, found it both fun and decorative to use the margins of this newspaper for doodling.

'TTTTTTTTTTTT GET THE GRADUATION ISSUE OF NEWS Contact Hall Representative For Details 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 Visit or Phone WATSON PHARMACY For Prompt Delivery DR 3-1665 YOUR NEAREST DRUG STORE By SUE KEITH- LUCAS 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 . . .

Congratulations Graduates of Gearreald, Wilson, Hawes Attain Highest Class Grades Sandra Wilson Karen Gearreald Laura Hawes 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. The 1963 Miss North Carolina 1963 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. The Aqnes Scott News Published weekly except holidays and examination periods, by the students of Arnw Scott College.

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.

Delia Ray Cook of the book store will attend a workshop relating to her work this summer. Summer Conferences Attract Five Students Four Agnes Scott students Anne Foster, Sarah Hodges, Nancy Bradford and Harriet King will attend -the 1963 National Student Association Congress this summer. The congress will be held at the University of Indiana August 17- 19. A number of pre-congress confer- ences wtil be held August 14-17. At- tending these conferences will be Anne Foster as student body presi- dent, Nancy Bradford as editor of the newspaper, and Harriet King as N. S. A. coordinator. In the pre-congress conferences he concerns of students are reflect- ed through these individuals who are in close contact with the stu- dent body. Sarah Hodges will participate in the Southern Seminar on Human Relations for three weeks before the congress begins. The seminar is an intensive study of problems peculiar to the South and is spon- sored by the N. S. A. Immediately following exams, Becky Vick, president of Christian Association, left for a leadership training conference in California. Monday, June 10, 1963 THE A6NBS SCOTT NEWS 3 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. Simply Wonderful Sportswear OPEN DAILY 9:305:30 Open Friday Night Until 8:30 133 Sycamore St. "On The Square" In Decatur 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.

College Ave. DR 7-3841-3842 4 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Monday, June 10, 1963 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 Bring Shot Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc. 141 Clairmont Ave. DR 3-3676 C. J. BUICE For All Gulf Services College and McDonough DR 3-9172 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!

Classics Honorary Elects '63 Officers The classics honorary society, Eta Sigma Phi, has elected officers for the coming year. Jane Wooddell will be the new president, and Judy Hollingsworth will serve as vice-president. Secretary of Eta Sigma Phi will be Carolyn Monroe, and Chi Chi Whitehead will be the new treas- urer. By LELIA JONES President of Class of '63 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 where fashionable college women shop for distinctive sportswear charge accounts available 2098 N. Decatur Plaza (at Clairmont Rd.) 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. Congratulations Seniors Decatur Cleaners and Hatters 145 Sycamore St. DR 7-5465 Best Wishes To The '63 Seniors WATSON PHARMACY Your Nearest Drug Store 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.
