Total Includes
213 Freshmen

The seventy-fifth session of Agnes
Scott College will open with the
largest enrollment in the history of
the institution.

During the 1962-63 session, en-
rollment totaled 669; as of Sept.
1 of the current year, registration
totals 699.

Of this number, 223 are new
students eight more than antici-
pated.

The 223 new students include
213 freshmen, eight transfers, and
two special students from abroad.

The 213 freshmen come from
schools in 22 states, England, Ger-
many, and Greece. The 170 schools
represented in the class include 145
public institutions and 25 private.

The states of residence include
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Geor-
gia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi,
Nebraska, New Jersey, New
exico, North Carolina, Ohio, Okla-
oma, Pennsylvania, South Caro-
lina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
and West Virginia.

Eighty per cent of the freshmen
come from outside the state of
Georgia. The 20 per cent from
Georgia represent the largest num-
ber from a single state: Florida
is second with 16 per cent, and
South Carolina and North Carolina
are third and fourth.

Four high schools are represent-
eded by five freshmen each: Gaines-
ville (Fla.) High School; Edge-
water High School, Orlando, Fla.;
Druid Hills High School, Atlanta;
and Myers Park High School, Char-
lotte, N. C.

There are more freshmen from
Atlanta than any other city; sec-
ond is Charlotte, N. C, with 6
freshmen.

Twenty- two per cent of the
freshmen class has been admitted
on the early decision plan.

The transfer students come to us
from the following colleges or uni-
versities: Millikin, Mount Holyoke,
Newcomb, Northwestern, Presby-
terian, Shorter, Stetson, and Whea-
ton.

Two will be juniors, five will be
spohomores, and one will be classi-
fied as a special student.

Twenty-one of the new students
are daughters of alumnae, and two
are granddaughters of alumnae.
Sixteen have sisters who are alum-
nae or members of the present
student body; eight of the 16 have
sisters in attendance now. One
freshman is the fifth sister to at-
tend, and three have had two sis-
ters to attend.

News
Welcomes
Class Of 1967

By WALLACE M. ALSTON
President of Agnes Scott-
Welcome to Agnes Scatt! I am
glad to have an opportunity to greet
you in this orientation issue of the
Agnes Scott News. I look forward
soon to the privilege of meeting
you personally.

You are coming to Agnes Scott
at a most important period of your
life. These next four years are so
valuable to you that you cannot
afford to waste or misuse them.

They will determine in large
measure your usefulness and your
happiness.

It is significant, too, that you
are entering Agnes Scott in one
of the great years of the college's
life.

This is the 75th Anniversary year.
The observance that has been plan-
ned will include a number of special
occasions including lectures, convo-
cations, and musical events.

I urge you to come to your col-
lege experience wtih a determina-
tion to give yourself wholeheartedly
to the tasks that face you.

This is a friendly place. Every-
body on the campus will want to
know you and to help you.

May the beginning of college days
at Agnes Scott be successful and
satisfying to you in every respect.

WELCOME FRESHMEN Junior sponsors and sophomore helpers
wait for the arrival of 223 new students for the 75th year.

Contributions Climb
As Deadline Nears

Less than $300,000 remains to be
raised of the $10,500,000 that Agnes
Scott has set as its goal by 1964
when the college will observe its
75th anniversary.

This program was launched in
953 when the college received word
that if they raised the money with-
n the specified time that they could
laim an anonymous gift of $500,000
which would raise the total assets
of the college over $11 million
within the 11 years specified.

The intensive part of the pro-
gram began in April of 1960 when
students, faculty and other em-
ployes raised more than $107,000 in
cash and pledges during an on-
campus campaign.

During the coming year a similar
campaign will be held, probably
around February, 1964, to close the
final attempt at raising the needed
$300,000.

During the summer an intensive
mail effort has been conducted
among alumnae, parents, friends,
and businesses throughout the
United States.

Sarah Hodges, president of Mor-

tar Board, and Professor Walter B.
Posey, chairman of the history de-
partment, have been chosen as
the co-chairman for the forthcom-
ing 1964 campus campaign.

The News will carry progress
reports throughout the year.

Leadership Retreat
Sets Year's Theme

Preparation for the freshman
class began as long as three years
ago when some students submitted
applications, but final plans for the
year were completed at Leadership
Retreat held Sept. 13-15 at Camp
Daniel Morgan.

The group heard Student Govern-
ment President Anne Foster intro-
duce the theme for the anniversary
year, "Identity."

All members of judicial council
and representative council were to
be at the retreat. About 89 were
present.

Various reports were made con-
cerning plans for honor emphasis
week, handbooks, and orientation.

By SARAH HODGES
President of Mortar Board

Welcome - Class of '66.

There, you have it.

That's the fruit of my efforts
to write "a short welcome to the
freshmen/'

I wouldn't for the world spoil
your fund or destroy your cult of
uniqueness by offering a blow by
blow account of the weeks to
come.

You don't need that kind of re-
assurance.

I could always dwell for a few
paragraphs on fond memories of
my own freshman experience, but
mercifully the entire fall quarter
has been erased from my memory.

Any "advice"' I might spout
would sound pompous and affect-
ed; and any gems of wisdom I
might drop would be soon forgot-
ten.

After all, it is September of
your first year at Agnes Scott
and I for one am glad you're here
'cause I'm anxious to get ac-
quainted.

Open Letter

Agnes Scott may not be all that it is cracked up to be for
you arriving freshmen.

There are numerous things which Agnes Scott is not in ad-
dition to those unique situations and opportunities which
only Scott has to offer.

You came to the college for a reason, perhaps even you at
this moment of first discovery, homesickness and uncertainty
do not know why.

As a senior and old hand at "first days'' and being the "new
kid on the block" perhaps we can advise (as if you didn't
have enough advisors as it is).

If you come to Agnes Scott thinking that a change of
scenery and friends can immediately totally change you, that
instead of being shy and very tactless you can be changed into
the complete feminist which is supposedly the ideal woman,
you are sadly mistaken.

You will find that indeed you remain the same person,
you react to situations the same.

Again Agnes Scott is not the place to loaf while .attempt-
ing to find a husband at one of the academic institutions in
the area. Scott is not the place to join in mass rallies cam-
paigning for banning of the atomic bomb or more equal
rights to all laborers, worthy as these causes may be.

This college is not the place to take as few credits as
you can, to attend classes as seldom as you can, to get away
with as such as you can, to have a sparkling social life
while having a half-hearted swat at academics.

Yet this list of what Scott is not can be offset (in the
opinion of those of us who have committed ourselves to
the college) by many advantages.

Scott is the college which will challenge even the most
brilliant student and yet still remain within the reach of
each student accepted. The college has a phenomenally low
"mortality rate," so to speak.

Here you can have freedom to delve as deeply into those
things which you feel are worth the sacrifice of sleep, food
or just spare time. Surprisingly you will find that many
things become this important to you.

Here you the liberal will discover brilliant people who dras-
tically differ from you in their political views. The con-
servative will find that many a professor will intimate he
actually feels that Medicare is one of the best pieces of
legislation yet proposed.

Views and unusual philosophies will be thrown at you from
all sides faculty, students and just acquaintances.

Yet for some none of this will take place. These young
women graduate from Scott or from any other college with-
out ever really having known what a college education
means, or should mean.

At Scott, obtaining a college education is studying day and
night; but one of the most important parts of the entire
curriculum is that which is classed by some as non- acade-
mic. r '

This subject includes a study of speeches by such men as
Wernher von Braun, Charles P. Taft, Viktor Frankl, C. P.
Snow and Mark Van Doren. It includes talks in the Hub or in
the dorm late at night over the meaning of Ultimate Truth, or
the underlying reason for racial tension.

It includes seeing your first opera and actually liking it.

It can include shaking hands with a student at Atlanta
University and feeling prejudice slink away.

Combine the academic and mon-academic studies.

Then you will discover that although you have not changed
immediately from the person you considered yourself when
you stood where you now are standing, you are somehow dif-
ferent.

Those beliefs which you held quite inviolable have been dis-
carded as immature; some ideas which you had never before
even considered actually add meaning to your existence.

The philosophies which had aided you have become either
stronger or weaker through questioning and you now feel
that you are beginning to know yourself.

Then you realize that the entire process is a college educa-
tion.

We of the Agnes Scott News welcome you to the college
at the beginning of this process and help that we using
the pages of this paper can offer a guide, a prodding and a
questioning through our news stories, columnists and edi-
torials.

Multitude Of Opportunities

Oh, the wonderful experiences
that will be yours for the first
time here in the Atlanta area!

You will have so many new
things to do and see! The Atlanta
area is always full of excitement
shopping sprees, movies, dinner
dates, dancing, concerts, frater-
nity parties, and even the Ponce
de Leon trolley!

Dinner dates are perhaps the
most exciting events for those
of us who like atmosphere and
unusual food, and goodness
knows Atlanta is full of good
restaurants!

You may enjoy a full nine-course
French dinner in genuine atmos-
phere at EMUJE'S or perhaps you
will be a bit more conservative
and join the rest of us at AUNT
FANNY'S CABIN (way out in the
country a wonderful southern
manner and marvelous "homecook-
ing") or at DALE'S CELLAR
(the best for steaks a nice, sec-
retive atmosphere here!)

If you are splurging or celebrat-
ing a special occasion, you may
dine and dance at TOP OF THE
MART, a marvelous rooftop rest-
aurant with a thirty- eighth floor
view of Atlanta almost rivaling
its cuisine.

Or for a similar occasion you
may enjoy FAN AND BILL'S, a
very smart and exciting new rest-
aurant in downtown Atlanta.
If you are interested in some-
thing "different," you may visit
one of the millions of Italian
restaurant or pizza places in the
area (LITTLE ITALY and CARU-
SO'S are favorites) or one of
the more oriental ones including
HOUSE OF ENG and CAMEL-
LIA GARDENS, their sukiyaki is
superb!)

But don't let me slight those
wonderful little spots you will
just drop by on your way back to
campus for a bite to eat the
SEVEN STEERS, the STAGE
DOOR which has very special
cheesecake, and especially LEB'S!
And shopping! You really
can't beat this man's town for
that! When you've visited the

To the Editor:

One of the best places for relax-
ing on our campus is the Hub. Its
purpose is more than a place where
girls can smoke. It is also a place
to relax, to be as noisy as you wish,
and generally to have a good time.

I remember when I was a fresh-
man, the only thing that got me
into the Hub was a craving for a
cigarette. For some reason I was
scared stiff of the place.

From what I've heard, this is a
typical freshman reaction even for
a smoker, and if a girl does not
smoke, the odds are pretty great
that she will rarely darken its
doors.

This is sad, for the Hub can
upply much-needed relaxation,
whether you smoke or not. It
really doesn't make any difference
about that. You don't have to
smoke to enjoy yourself.

And if smoke bothers you, that's
still no reason to stay out, for there
are exhaust fans on the windows
to keep out the excess.

So, whether you smoke or not,
come to the Hub anyway and have
a good time!

shops in Decatur (the CASUAL
CORNER, in particular) you will
enjoy going into Atlanta or out
to LENOX SQUARE (an excel-
lent shopping center our
favorite!) for a thorough and
delightful shopping excursion!
TRANSPORTATION is no prob-
lem, either. If you haven't a car,
a date, or an upperclassman, you
may hop in a taxi (check in the
dean's office there may be
someone else going who would like
to share the taxi and the expense!)
or on an Atlanta-bound bus or
trolley (it's certainly no disgrace
if you don't mind a few bumps for
atmosphere!)

Then there are the out-of-
town trips you may be taking!
Atlanta is not far from several
states, as I am sure you know, and
there are numerous lakes, moun-
tains, and special points of interest
close by (STONE MOUNTAIN,
CALLAWAY GARDENS, the UNI-
VERSITY OF GEORGIA!) for a
change of scenery on the week-
ends.

(real honest-to-goodness farms
near Atlanta they have lakes and
beautiful settings) or FRITZ
ORR'S (a day camp in a wooded

for parties!)

And then there are the seasonal
pleasures, including FOOTBALL
and BASKETBALL games at Geor-
gia Tech and Emory, ICE SKATING
later this winter, and finally PIC-
NICS and lake parties in the
spring!

There is just no end of excite-
ment in the Atlanta area, and
it's all here for you to enjoy.
You'll love it!

I could continue with more of
the new experiences you will be
having soon, such as a quick trip
to the ATLANTA ART ASSOCIA-

tions and the famous permanent
Kress Collection, or a stop on the
way back to school at the KRISPY

doughnut, but I'll save some of
the discovering for you.

This is your welcome! We are
glad you are here! I'll be seeing
you soon here in this column,
here on the campus, and certain-

Cons Come With Pros
In College Education

By

SUE
KEITH-
LUCAS

Suddenly you're free to make your
own. But . . . there's no Momma
now to take the blame if some-
thing goes wrong.

It's only one of the many bene-
fits of life at Agnes Scott which
have some drawbacks. Like any-
thing worthwhile, there are some
cons along with the pros. F' in-
stance:

You're at a girls' school (whoops,
women's college) and that means
all sorts of freedom in the class-
room that you wouldn't have at a
coed school, more chance to be a
big wheel, and fewer distractions.

But, on the other side, some
"distractions" might be nice . . .

"Liberal arts" is a fine idea and
means a broad education, but it
probably also means you're going
to have to sweat your way through
math, which you always hated, or
biology (frogs and things) which is
never very appealing right after
breakfast. And you won't get
classes in home ec or nursing, how-
ever useful they might be.

Atlanta, particularly if you come
from a smaller town, certainly has
advantages with concerts, plays,
lectures, movies and parties galore.

Of course you can get so involved
in all these that you forget that
you're here to get a college educa-
tion. Your grade sheet will have a

long memory.

Small classes are great for in-
dividual attention ... if you've
done your assignments.

One advantage no one would for-
get in the convenient proximity of
those other institutions of higher
learning; Tech, Emory and Colum-
bia Seminary.

Of course, after a while you may
begin to think that the advantage
of being near Emory is offset by
also being near Tech (or vice versa,
in deference to all you upperclass-
men who actually like Tech boys).

General disadvantages? Primari-
ly that you came to Scott to get
an education and may find the
other schools taking more time
(and teaching you more?)

And ask any Scottie who has
dutifully typed an engineering
term paper ... It is worth it?

But back to us here at Scott.
Another big advantage is that no
one is going to tell you when to go
to bed, wash your hair, press your
clothes, or go to meals.

The morning you crawl out of
bed having had six hours sleep in
the last three nights, your hair hav-
ing gone eight days instead of the
usual five without shampoo, noth-
ing but wrinkles to put on, and
starving from having skipped both
lunch and dinner yesterday, your
mirror will tell you something.
What's the result of all this?

if you like lots to do. its here.
But with classes, assignments and
church, parties and extracurricu-
lars, you may find that the major
disadvantage is that four years just
isn't long enough.

Which is exactly how I hope you
will feel.

Rush Party Tricks Increase Fun

Fraternity rush parties can be
among the most interesting and ex-
citing events for freshmen during
the first two weeks of school.

All it takes to really enjoy them
is an awareness of what a rush
party is and of what is expected
of a rush girl, in addition to a will-
ingness to do as best you can that
which is expected of you.

This article is designed to en-
lighten you on both scores. You
may be familiar with some or most
of the procedures involved, but for
those of you who are not acquaint-
ed with quite all of them, here they
are. Read on!

Importance

As you will notice, any fraternity
is especially concerned over rush
(the first weeks of school in which
new members are taken into the
fraternity), and well it should be,
for it is during rush that some of
the most important fraternity de-
cisions of the year are made.

Every little thing is of special
consequence in showing the frater-
nity with its best foot forward.

This time is extraordinary in
that the focus of the whole frater-
nity is on something outside the
fraternity the rushee the one
whom the fraternity is considering
for possible future membership.

Rush and all its activities are
predominantly conducted exclusive
of any outside assistance, with the
one exception of rush parties.
Purpose

The rush party originated as an
attempt to enable the members of
the fraternity (the "brothers" or
"actives") to see in a social situa-
tion those whom they are consider-
ing for future membership (the
"rushees") and simultaneously to
provide an opportunity for the
rushees to see the brothers in the
same social setting.

For the fraternity the rush party
is invaluable in that it reveals more
fully the personalities of the
rushees, thus enabling the brothers
to better evaluate them, and also
lets the fraternity introduce some
adidtional entertainment into the
business of "going through rush".

For the rushees the rush party
is important because it enables
them to see the strictly social side
of the fraternity. Thus, the rush
party has a definite purpose of its
own and most fulfill it.

Definition

What exactly is a rush party?
A rush parity is simply a party
which is given by the fraternity for
its rushees. It may be held in the
fraternity house or in any of many
different locations in the area.

There may be a combo present,
or it may be a record party
either way, there is always dancing,
and you can rest assured that most
people have a good time!

The brothers and the rushees are
there, in addition to the brothers'
dates, if any. (Some fraternities
have a rule against this.)

Who, then, will dance with and
entertain the rushees femininely?
Enter, the rush girl!

Rush Girl

The rush girl is the factor in the
rush party which changes it from a
gathering of the brothers and the
rushees into a "party" and enables
the rushees to enjoy themselves at
the party. No more, no less.

She is not a date for anyone, so
she may have the liberty of dancing

with and talking to any and all
rushees.

The rush girl is almost a hostess
for the fraternity and may behave
as one.

Her key to enjoying a rush party
is to remember that by coming, she
agrees to help the fraternity show
its rushees a good time, whether
this means discussing Brubeck with
them, dancing with them, or just
making them feel welcome and at
ease.

Behavior

How does a rush girl do all this?
The passwords are BE YOUR-
SELF.

You have been chosen to help
represent the fraternity to the
rushees because of certain quali-
ties people have seen in you.

The fraternity has considered the
fact that you go to Agnes Scott
and has invited you to the rush
party on the basis of its previous
experience with rush girls from
Scott.

The upperclassman at Scott who
is directly responsible to the frater-
nity for securing rush girls has
chosen you because of personal
qualities you have displayed here
on campus. She knows the kind of
girl the fraternity wants as a rush
girl and believes that you are that
kind of girl.

If you will BE YOURSELF, you
will repay the confidence that has
been shown in you.

The rush girl who is the biggest
success is the one who remembers
that the rush party is completely
for the rushees, that she is there
to help them enjoy it, and that she
can do this best without any pre-
tense or conscious and contrived
effort to impress them by just
being herself.

Party Itself

Perhaps a general discussion of
the parties will be a boon to some
of you. An important things to re-
member is that the rushees may
know little more about the people
there than you do.

They are still meeting the
brothers and the brothers are meet-
ing them, so a rush girl should not
be surprised that she knows few
people and vice-versa.

Brothers

Some rush girls have been puzzled
about the relation between the rush
girl and the brothers.

C. J. BUICE

For All tulf SorvicM

Colltfo and McDonough

DK 3-9172

Confusion can be avoided if it is
remembered that the brothers have
invited her as an aid to the rushees.
(Xhey will regard her much as a hos-
tess for them.

They will probably want to meet
as many rush girls as possible and
may invite those with whom they
are particularly impressed to come
again. The rush girl should re-
member that, as a rush girl, she
is not a date and she is not expect-
ed to entertain the brothers.

The brothers are especially ap-
preciative of one who is pleasant to
everyone but is particularly in-
terested in the rushees. Rush lasts
only a few weeks, and after it is
over comes the time when the
brothers with be dating those girls
they met during rush.

And neither they nor the rushees
will forget a good rush girl!
Role of Rush Girl
The rush girl should not feel
hesitant about rush just because
she does not know all about the dif-
ferent fraternities. She is not ex-
pected to. The rushees will be
given sufficient information about
the fraternity to form their own
opinions. The most a rush girl can
do for a fraternity along these
lines is to answer favorably ques-
tions about the fraternity if she
should be asked any, to decline
comment if she cannot give a favor-
able answer and feels that she
really may not know the whole
story anyway, and to refrain from
promotion another fraternity while

rushing for some other. This last
is expecially important and is only
common courtesy.

Types Of Parties

Rush parties come in assorted
sizes, locations, and kinds which in-
volve dress ranging from bermudas
to sarongs.

When you are notified concerning
the kind of party (hillbilly, South
Sea Island, gay nineties) you will
probably be asked to "dress accord-
ingly".

This means that the fraternity
will appreciate your wearing a cos-
tume if you have one, but it also
means that if you don't, you may
dress informally (skirt and blouse
or bermudas.)

The upperclassman who contacts
ou about the party will be a source
of information for you both before,
during, and after the party. If a
Problem arises during the party and
you cannot locate her, you may ask
one of the chaperones or the
brothers. They are used to it !
Have Fun!

The rush party can be a lot of fun
as well as a wonderful opportunity
for meeting all kinds of people.
Each fraternity gives about three,
and you may enjoy going to differ-
ent ones. The opportunity is yours
to enjoy this introduction to frater-
nity life. You should remember that
the rush girl who can help others
have a good time is the one who
is having fun herself! So keep your
ear open for the magic words,
"Would you like to rush for . . . ?"

Science, Human Values'
Explains Scientific 'Spirit 7

By SUSAN BLACKMORE

As part of their orientation to
Agnes Scott, the Class of '67 was
asked to read Bronowski's provo-
cative essay "Science and Human
Values."

The Orientation Committee
urged the upperclassmen to join
in this study in order that it might
be a catalyst for community dis-
cussion.

In view of this aim it is in-
teresting to speculate on just
why Bronowski's essay was
selected.

It is always exciting to search
for motives, and I believe, in this
case, such an approach provides
a valid (introduction to the author's
ideas.

Bronoswki states his purpose to
be "to display the links which give
society its coherence and, more,
which give it life." I contend that
this basis is a concept of knowl-
edge, what it is, where it comes
from, and what it is used for.

If this is a tenable interpreta-
tion, then I commend the Com-
mittee for its choice of "Science
and Human Values" as an in-
itiation into the intellectual at-

mosphere of a college seriously
bent on education.

The scientific "spirit" is hailed
as a model illustrating that what
men know originates from "the
irresistible need to explore." That
is a pretty powerful statement.

It seems somehow adolescent
to admit that the most admir-
able drive for education is cur-
iosity.

But what else could be more ex-
citing or could provoke that lump-
in-y our- throat feeling than that
delightful sense of self-satisfaction
when your own adventure into
new ideas has given you claim to
now perspectives.

To feel yourself slipping off into
personal exploration and involve-
ment makes education an end in
itself.

One can draw examples from
every discipline and from every
learning experience that verify
this difference in active and pas-
sive attitudes toward any task
at hand.

The very act of checking this
general premise against private
experience admits to Bronowski's

Hub-bub

Democratic Column
Exists To Illuminate

I was informed a short time ago
that I should compose a bit of
poetic prose, directed mainly to
those lucky young creatures of
grace and charm who will decorate
the traditional campus of Agnes
Scott in the form of New Stu-
dents.

Perhaps "should" is an unfor-

Science,,,

(Continued from Page 3)
definition of knowledge as truth
verified by its consequences.

Bronowski's discussion of what
knowledge is an introduction to
the epistemology of pragmatism.
This theory is not above criticism,
but even its half-truths carry an
insight into how as well as what
someone learns.

College for the preceptive stu-
dent is a kalideoscope of facts,
ideas, and states of mind.
Caught up in the urgency of per-
sonal exploration, students spin in
a world of contradictions and para-
doxes.

Often the only solid reference
is private experience in immediate
surroundings. Often too it is the
most valid.

Driven by curiosity to find
some coherence in a seemingly dis-
ordered world of Marches on
Washington and Pravdas and Bud-
list martyrs and Polaris missiles
and Bertrand Russells, students
with a passion for living must con-
stantly check notion with event or
suffer dillusion.

It is indeed a big wide world.

Any chosen field of knowl-
edge- politics, English, physics,
math, Roman history enacts
its own brand of scientific veri-
fication, as Bronowski, points
out.

All this to say that learning is a
process, a state of mind. Knowl-
edge for Bronowski is experi-
mental, a function of present
needs, circumstances and talents.

In an effort to reorient political
thinking, men like John Dewey,
Louis Brandeis and Walter Lipp-
mann insisted that law itself is
a social tool aimed at ameliorating
contemporary ills and not a static
concept grounded in a sacred past.
Bronowski adapts the same
attitude toward the evolution
of human values.

What men do affects what they
ought to do. The impact of science
and its particular state of mind
has impressed upon society the
values most necessary for scienti-
fic progress.

Knowledge born in human cur-
iosity and bred in available ex-
periences can thrive only if a
sense of self-respect and realism
is maintained.

Those notions about knowledge
are not new. With every act of
creating men live again the ex-
citement, and promise of just
learning something new.

With every reinactment of
Braham's 4th or Einstein's formula
or Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
someone feels a catch in his
breath. It is as true now as it was
for Socrates or Marx.

There is something eternally

intoxicating about it that

tunate choice of words, however,
as I feel that if I had failed to de-
liver said piece of work (not to be
confused with literature) I would
probably arrive at the Ivy-covered
campus to find my place on the
Agnes Scott News given to one of
my more enthusiastic classmates.

Thus, not wanting to be deprived
of my humble soapbox, I decided
to sit at my old battered type-
writer in my dusty old garret and
compose a bit of nonsense, hoping
more will be gained in the reading
than was in the writing.

Enough about my reason for
submitting this piece of work to
the News.

HUB BUB is classified as a
"fun" column. Its purpose is
simple to entertain its readers
as well as its author.

Please keep this in mind, along
with the fact that the author is
not trying to win a Pulitzer Prize.

During the course of the next
year, however, Scotties will prob-
ably notice that at times, the
column is failing in its objective.
This will not surprize me.

Rather, I would be most amazed
if the opposite should be so. I only
hope that these little lapses will
be the exception instead of the
rule.

As America tries to be a demo-
cratic society, so Agnes Scott Col-
lege tries to follow suit. I pride
myself on being one of the Col-
lege's greatest advocates of demo-
cracy.

Throughout the year, many of
you may observe things you
wish you could modify. Upon in-
vestigation, however, you find
that it is sometimes difficult to
effect this change immediately.
Yours is not to give up when
such stumbling blocks are seen.
Remember that "immediately" is
a relative word, meaning one thing
to one person and something else
to another.

The best way to insure a
pleasant definition of the word
is to publicize the need for one.
Make people aware that such a
need exists.

I immensely enjoy pointing out
these little things to the Agnes
Scott community. One might say
I get a kick out of it.

I am not omnipresent, however.
I cannot see everything, much as I
would like to.

I would greatly appreciate

cate a pair of blinders. Or a new

To be serious for a moment,
I would like to give a bit of
advice to new students. Don't
be afraid.

Upperclassmen and faculty only
eat 17 new students a year on the

Also, attend all the teas to which

I leave you to your unpacking

Some have said that happiness
is a warm puppy; a blanket; suck-
ing one's thumb; or a number of
tangible articles and/or actions
which are conducive to Security.

We, as Americans and partic- 1
ularly as young Americans, spend
a great deal of time in pursuit of
things tangible, which, we believe,
are certain to make us secure and
in turn will lead us to peace of
mind.

This sort of thinking, when
viewed in perspective, is ob-
viously wrong. It is distorted.

Yet it is easily understandable,
for it springs from minds constant-
ly troubled by and fearful of a
terrifically unstable world.

Furthermore these same minds
and hearts are engulfed in a hap-
hazard society, whose exacting
standards may seem to be in per-
petual fluxuation.

Although Scott has no blankets,
warm puppies, etc. to offer those
who just a short time ago found
themselves at the pinnacle of se-
curity and now find that their
pinnacle has crumbled before their
eyes to these we would only try
to suggest something that we have
found; that real security cannot be
derived from anything external;
that it is something, which, as we
have found, usually follows closely
on the heels of self-confidence.
And from whence comes this
self-confidence, they may ask
(they haven't but they may).
Well, we would say, one good
source of self-confidence comes
from pride and satisfaction in
one's accomplishments.

And then, of course, being on the
athletic 'board and all, we would
hasten to add that PARTICIPA-
TION IN SPORTS can do wonders
for a battered self-confidence.
There would really be little
value in citing examples of speci-
fic cases in which the therapeu-
tic aspect of athletics have
shown itself (even if we knew
of any), but, let's face it, athle-
tics do attract ALL types for
all types of reasons and, after

MONTMEAT

all, you may find that you are
able to help lead some lost and
battered souls back to useful
and productive lives.

And now, before parting com-
pany for this issue, I would leave
you with a brief but clever sum-
mation of the aforementioned sage
advice, which, I feel, is certain to
insure success during the forma-
tive stage at Scott and undoubt-
ably in later life.

Always remember that misery
loves company and that A. A.
stands for Athletic Association
in spite of any cute ideas you
may have had on the subject
(wipe out those nasty thoughts
IMMEDIATELY we'll have
none of that at Agnes Scott).

CATS PRACTICE Diane Pulignano (far right) instructs Cats in
preparation for the forthcoming Black Cat production. The junior
is in charge of the entire skit.

Black Cat Preparation
Continues Old Tradition

By SALLY POCKEL

Sophomores Take Trophy;
Honor Roll Recognizes 46

From looking at the history of
Black Cat as far back as 1936
one could expect almost anything
that promises fun and original en-
tertainment.

Because Black Cat is kept secret
in order to give a surprise per-
formance every year the amount
and the kind of information avail-
able are limited.

However, in 1936 each class,
through its wit and labor, pro-
duced a stunt and entered into
competition with the other classes.
The winner was awarded a small
porcelain black cat.

In 1946 a competition was held
between the freshmen and the
sophomores in the form of drama-
tic productions.

The winner was given the privi-
lege of adding a small silver bell
to a chain of similar objects which
hung around the neck of the black
cat.

The year 1951 marked the re-

turn of the competitive stunts.

But in 1962 the program was
changed to performances of skits
by the sophomores, juniors and
seniors and a talent show given
by the freshmen.

The 1963 program will be held at
7:30 Oct. 11. The program will not
include any interclass competition
except in the case of class songs.

The program will be one con-
tinuous production.

After the performance a dance
will be held in Rebekah Reception
Room featuring the Cavaliers.

This dance is reserved for Scott
girls and their dates.

Black Cat is sponsored by Mortar
Board. Chairman of Black Cat this
year is Diane Pulignano.

Class chairmen are as follows:
Kitty Strickland for the seniors,
Georgia Gillis for the juniors, and
Pam Gilbreath for the sophomores.

Freshmen elected Monday were
Becca Herbert and Janice Barron.

On Honors Day, Sept. 27, the
names of those students who made
the Honor Roll for the 1962-63 ses-

Shearer Heads Campus Arts Council

A new organization on campus
this fall is the Arts Council headed
by Katie Shearer as chairman and
Bunny Foster as secretary-treas-
urer.

In the constitution recently
approved by Representative Coun-
cil, the Arts Council claims to be
"a coordinating body, the purpose
of which shall be to increase
awareness of and participation in
the arts.

"It seeks to stimulate through
creative expression and under-
standing of the vital human situ-
ation. "

At present the Arts Council is
sponsoring the art exhibit on the
third floor of Buttrick Hall which
features recent additions to the
art collection of Agnes Scott Col-
lege.

In Convocation on October 16
the Arts Council will present a
program in which all the arts
music, dance, drama, writing and
art will participate.

In December, Folio, BOZ, and
Aurora will explain how a work
of art submitted to one of these
organizations is criticized.

News To Hold
Name Contest

The staff of the Agnes Scott

News is currently sponsoring a
contest among the student body to
obtain suggestions for a new name
for the newspaper.

Various attempts to change the
name selected by the student body
in 1940 (Miss Eleanor Hutch ens of
the English department was edi-
tor of the News during its first
full year of publication under that
name.) have failed due to lack of
interest and the great amount of
work involved in the process.

All suggestions should be sent
in the local mail and addressed to
Box 648.

Suggestions made when the staff
attempted in 1961-62 to change
the name included "The Mirror,"
"The Profile," "The Forum."

Smith Delivers Lecture
On Recent Experiments

By CAROLE WARLICK

Dr. Huston Smith, professor of
philosophy at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, delivered
the Honors Day address on Sep-
tember 27 in Convocation.

Dr. Smith spoke on "The Nature
of Man: Some Recent Evidence
from Science."

Professor Smith was introduced
by President Alston, who spoke of
him as a "builder of bridges" be-
tween East and West, between the
classroom and television and be-
tween scientific and humanistic
interests.

Professor Smith summarized
several experiments which have
been conducted in recent years.

One experiment demonstrated
the power of 'an electrical stimulus
applied to the brain to raise a
patient's arm against his will.

Even though scientists are learn-
ing more and more about the
brain, little is known about the
mind and how it acts as a stimu-
lus to the brain.

An experiment with Planaria
suggested that "learning on a low
level is transmitted chemically."

In another experiment, involving
an electrical shock to the brain, a
patient relived an experience that
had happened eighteen years be-
fore.

This experiment implied the
mind keeps a record of everything
it has experienced.

The third experiment discussed
by Professor Smith concerned a
study of rats of average intelli-
gence. The scientist told his as-
sistants that half of the rats were
very intelligent and the others
were stupid. The rats that had

been labeled "intelligent" did much
better on the maze test than the
others.

This implied that there is an im-
portant relationship getween ex-
pectation and performance.

College students were the sub-
jects of the next experiment. All
of them were given sugar pills.

Half of these students were told
that they had been given tran-
quilizers and the others stimulants.

Then they were given tests.

The students who thought they
had taken stimulants did much
better than those who thought they
had taken tranquilizers. In fact
the second group appeared drowsy.

Experiments were also made to
see what happens to the mind
when it is deprived of a stimulus.
The subjects were put in a state
in which they were "disconnected
from their senses."

Their reaction was panic.

For some groups of people, such
as the yogi, this detachment is
very relaxing and gives them a
clear insight.

These experiments reveal the
vast complexities of the mind and
how little is known about it.

News Needs Name

What's in a name?

This is a question we of the newspaper have been ask-
ing ourselves since we first came to this school and were
confronted with the Agnes Scott News.

This is the question which in various forms has been asked
us since we took over the newspaper proper.

To say the least, the name for this publication is nonde-
script, colorless and ill-suited for such a colorful and in-
teresting four pages of campus life resume (we hope).

Thus we of the staff at the suggestion of Representative
Council ( see page 82 in the handbook) have begun a cam-
paign to rename the newspaper.

Perhaps the many complaints concerning the present name
have been from a small minority of students who are vaguely
interested in the impression which the campus voice (we
hope) makes upon those hundreds of persons who read our
newspaper as it is circulated throughout the world (through
subscriptions to everyone from the board of trustees to per-
sons living in Sweden, for instance) .

Perhaps the majority of students on campus do not feel
that the newspaper is important enough to spend ten min-
utes of their time to suggest another name.

Perhaps this majority is satisfied with the present name.

The contest is designed to determine the amount of interest
and degree of receptivity of the students of the college to
changing the name.

There is certainly no sense in enduring the tremendous
amount of red tape involved in simply changing the name
of a publication (see page 82 again) if there is no interest.

Make your will known to the newspaper through sugges-
tions in the local mail addressed to Box 648 (you don't even
need to spend five cents on a stamp, only spend a little time.

We feel strongly about the necessity of a striking and
appropriate name for a dynamic publication such as this
newspaper.

Do vou? N.B.

From Rut To Road

"All is vanity!" "There is nothing new under the sun!' , We
wonder how many students fall back into the same cliche-
ridden rut after about three weeks of fall quarter each year.

Very few students actually begin the term without a slight
giddiness and feeling of anticipation for "all that is in store
for me!" Yet, somehow too soon, too many seem to lose this
feeling. Why?

Is it that we're expecting too much for ourselves? If our
lives were really as full as we imagine they should be, could
we then be satisfied? Would we even be able to handle it all?

Plenty of time ... to study, to date, to contribute, to live
... is much easier to ask for than actually to have. There is
a much greater necessity to choose, and to channel our lives
than most people realize.

Without using our right of choice in order to channel our
interests and abilities, we are likely to find ourselves com-
pletely lost in this full life we've asked for . . . and got.

We're not suggesting a narrower horizon, but a realization
of how limited is each person's particular road toward the
horizon they see. Roads of life intersect, thank goodness, but
each person must stay on his own. Travel your road often,
know it well ... it is all you have, yet it is a lot.

As Dr. Huston Smith said during his visit to Agnes Scott
last week even these psycho-mimetic chemicals cannot cause
one to discover new knowledge. A more perceptive look into
the old can be refreshing, exciting, and meaningful enough,
if we would but try it. S.E.P.

Ah-woo Creates Spirit
In New Class Rivalry

The Agnes Scott News

The Inman Indian, affectionately
dubbed "Ah-woo," has already be-
come a campus mascot.

Other schools have animals or
other symbols which become tro-
phies to their captors. Agnes Scott
has an imitation wooden-cigar-
store Indian. (Is this significant?)

Given as a distinctive and un-
usual adornment by the decora-
tors of the Inman lobby, Ah-woo
reigned over his dormitory do-
main until last week.

At that time a certain group of
sophomores, who shall remain
nameless, desiring a mascot for
their hall, whisked him to the
rarefied atmosphere of Third Wal-
ters.

Protest naturally followed from
Inman. Dr. Alston, (who, accord-
ing to my "informed source," is
enjoying the whole affair immense-
ly) was called to mediate.

Upon recalling the story of an-
other wise ruler's decision to di-
vide the disputed property, he
suggested that Ah-woo be di-
vided between Inman and Wal-
ters.

As this was not aceptable, Ah-
woo found himself joining Dr.
Alston in waving to students from
the north-east corner of But trick.

Bertie Bond then inherited the
"friendly, companionable" figure.

Ah-woo was called upon to dis-
play his modeling abilities, donning
an A. A. blazer.

As an honor to the scholarly
sophs, Ah-woo was granted to
them at dinner last Thursday
night. His route to the dining
hall, however, was circuitous,
involving a trip in a red car,
several mysterious kidnappings
(with clues such as "How") and
much confusion.

Board Affirms Policies
After Lengthy Survey

Prior to the opening of this
school term parents and students
received a statement from the col-
lege concerning the study of the
apartment and non-drinking poli-
cies.

The study was conducted by the
board of trustees and polled stu-
dents, members of the faculty,
alumnae and parents concerning
the views toward both policies
which came under questioning by
various members of the college.

Excerpts from the statement
read: ". . . the committee of Trus-
tees appointed to study the rules
of Agnes Scott College affecting
personal conduct of students with
reference to consumption of alcoho-
lic beverages and inter-visitation
recommend to the Board of Trus-
tees of the College that it strongly
reaffirm the two policies under
consideration."

The statement issued by the
board of trustees which was rec-
ommended by the special commit-
tee studying the matter says: "The
Board of Trustees recognizes that
the reaffirmation of these broad
policies leaves matters of definition
and implementation, as heretofore,
in the hands of the Administration
working with Student Government.

"Such decisions as the meaning
and extent of certain phrases in
the policy will require careful con-
sideration and determination, and,
understandably. re-examination
from time to time."

The two statements under con-
sideration read: "that Agnes Scott
students are not to drink alcoholic
beverages while directly under the
College's jurisdiction; that Agnes
Scott students are not to visit
men's living quarters (hotels,
motels, apartments, etcj, in-
dividually or in groups except
under circumstances which, in the
judgment of the dean of students,
assure adequate protection to the
students and to the good name of
the College."

By KAREN AUSTIN

Practically the first words a
freshman hears upon coming to
Agnes Scott are that the worst
tiling in the universe is a Scot tie
without a man.

With these words of wisdom ring-
ing in her ears like wedding bells,
she promptly sets off to let her-
self be found.

Occasionally she even goes in
for summer school if she finds the
current subject particularly in-
teresting.

On her return to school her
grades show up, on her sweater, or,
for those who have done honors
works, on the left hand.

This year independent study has
really paid off for some Scotties
who have returned to school with
suntans, pins, and rings.

The seniors, as always, have
come out on top. Kitty Strickland,
a senior from Richland, Georgia,
will wait two years to marry Jerry
Croxton, a student at the Uni-
versity of Georgia School of Phar-
macy.

Joe Powell, a law student at
Emory, passed all exams in Trish
Sights' opinion, judging from the
ring she now has.

An out-of-state conquest was
made by Ruth Zealy, who's pinned
to Ed Kerr of Wake Forest Col-
lege, N. C, and plans to be married
next fall.

Closer to home and to their
beaux are Sarah Hodges, pinned
to Georgia Tech ATO Gwinn Lev-
ret t, and Judy Hollingsworth.
pinned to industrial design major
Jack Robinson, a Beta at Tech.

Elizabeth Stewart has set her
marriage to Andy Allen, another
Beta at Tech, for June; and Boyd
Bauer, engaged to Mississippian
Gene Cater, an accounting major
and Sigma Chi at the University of
Georgia, will probably be manned
in late September of 1964.

One freshman didn't wait for
or mentation week: Mary Atkinson
used her professor-uncle at West
Point to good advantage, and now
can boast being pinned to graduat-
ing First Classman Pete McAtter.
Upperclassmen as well as fresh-
men and sophomores are busy tak-
ing notes.

Ruth Van Deman, a sophomore
from Virginia, has a long wait
ahead of her: her pin comes from
Randy Martin, a sophomore pre-
med and Phi Delt at Emory.

Pinned to Warren Adams, a Sig
Ep at Tech, is another lucky sopho-
more, Sue Ellen Hipp; and from
the same class is Susan Goode,
pinned to Tech's Sigma Chi Bruce
Douglas.

A junior has also come through
with a new ring for her left hand
and a man to go with it: Sue
Wyatt will be married next sum-
mer to Pete Rhodes, a student at
Columbia Theological Seminary,
who plans to be a missionary.

Senior Sue Dixon is also flashing
a hunk of carbon; hers comes from
Lieut. William C. Meredith, a Tech
grad stationed with the Navy in
Charleston. Sometime next June is
the big date.

Lines In Letitia Pate
Cause Student Pain

Recent Acquisitions
Enlarge Art Exhibit

Those of us who have been for-
tunate enough to attend Agnes
Scott for more than a week or
two have undoubtably noticed
something new.

In years past, it was possible
to go to Ye Ole Dining Hall"
and expect to be served in a
reasonable amount of time.
The magic lime in which to
arrive for vittles was: 7:53 for
breakfast, 12:47 for lunch and 6:23
for supper.

At those glorious times one
could whisk through in 19 Y2 sec-
onds. Need] ess to say, those in the
"I Hate to Stand in Line Club"
were delighted with this situation.
However, with the enlarging
of our worthy student body, we
find that the situation has been
greatly altered. No longer can
we enter the portals of this
establishment and expect serv-
ice with any degree of speed.
We feel that this is a deplora-
ble thing. Our nerves are shot; our
stability is in danger.

Luckily, however, all is not lost.
We still have Watson's and the
Pizza by Candlelight to fall back
on. There we can expect to be
served quickly and safely, with no
danger of fallen arches or vari-
cose veins.

The argument to this may be,
that since we pay for our meals
here, we should eat here, in de-
ference to our parents.
This has merit. It is certainly
worth our consideration.

Knowing that Agnes Scott is al-
ways open to suggestions of posi-
tive or negative variety, I shall
take this opportunity to put forth
one or two:

First, I think that something
should be done about the length
of the lines. Perhaps the lower
dining half could be opened to
accommodate the surplus.
Secondly, and more important,
students and faculty should be
given the opportunity as to wheth-
er or not they wish to eat at
school.

The dining hall should post its
menu for the day in the Mailroom.
This way, the community could
look at the expected repast before
going to meals.

If the listing is something they
think they can live without, they
can plan to eat elsewhere.

We all know that our Dining
Hall is proud of what they serve,
and justifiably so. Why not give
us the opportunity of savoring
the coming meal in our classes,
thus working up a he-man
appetite in anticipation?
Think of how healthy we would
all be!

If you agree, signify it by
putting your suggestion in the box
provided in The Dining Hall. They
would love it!

New Contest Spurs
ASC Artistic Drive

"Deck your dorms!"

This is the cry of House Council
in an effort to encourage upper-
classmen as well as freshmen to
beautify their rooms.

In October all rooms will be in-
spected, and the dorm with the
best overall appearance will be
given a trophy.

Awards will also be given to
the people in each dormitory who
have the most attractive rooms.

Mrs. Charles Pepe of the art
department will give suggestions
to those of us who are un-artistic.

Digest Uses Article
Of June Newsletter

Excerpts from an article on
Pwobert Frost, printed in the June
issue of the Agnes Scott News-
letter, were published in the Sep-
tember issue of the Reader's Di-
gest.

The poet, who died January, 1963,
on the eve of his 21st visit to Agnes
Scott College, often spoke here
about the qualities of a good
teacher.

It was one of these statements,
quoted to Mrs. Margaret Pepper-
dene of Agnes Scott's English de-
partment, a close acquaintance of
Frost, which was quoted in the
Digest.

Israel, Holland
Send Students

Two of the foreign students on
campus for the coming year come
to Scott through the Institute of
International Education.

The two are Doris El-Tawil of
Israel and Ilja van der Wal of
The Netherlands.

Doris El-Tawil, an international
traveler, was born in Cairo, Egypt.
She has studied in the Sudan and in
Israel itself.

Prior to coming to Scott she at-
tended Hebrew University located
in Jerusalem, where she studied
psychology and English.

She states that she is particular-
ly interested in continuing her
study of these two subjects at
Scott.

During the past year she has
been employed in Tel-Aviv as a tra-
veling secretary for CARE.

Ilja van der W al was born in The
Hague, Holland, where she has re-
cently completed her secondary
school work.

Her interests include chemistry
and sociology in addition to Eng-
lish.

Extra-curricular activities which
particularly interest the Dutch girl
include sports, music and ballet.

The Agnes Scott Art Department
is exhibiting the recent acquisi-
tions to the college's permanent
collection of art.

The exhibition, which will last
until October 14, can be seen in the
third floor gallery of Buttrick.

Among the art pieces acquired
are the portraits of President Wal-
lace M. Alston and Mr. Hal Smith,
chairman of the Board of Trustees.
Both were painted by Sidney Dick-
inson.

There are several gifts among
the collection.

Mr. Ferdinand Warren has con-
tributed one of his paintings, "The
Agnes Scott Glee Club."

A lovely landscape, "Heathcliff,"
has been given by alumnae and
friends of the school. It was paint-
ed by Sue Mitchell, Class of '45.

Dance Group Plans
To Extend Activities

New plans aimed at extending
the regular fall activities of the
Dance Group are now under con-
sideration by members of the
group.

On November 15-16 the Dance
Group will sponsor visiting lecturer
Harriet Ann Grey from Stevens
College. After lecturing Friday
night Miss Grey will hold a master
class all day Saturday for any
students interested in dance.

Dance groups from Florida State
University, the Woman's College
of Georgia, and the University of
Georgia will be invited to Agnes
Scott during the year.

Instead of presenting a Christ-
mas program this year, the Dance
Group plans either to participate
with Blackfriars in the presenta-
tion of medieval mystery plays in
November or to produce a special
program for Thanksgiving.

Newspaper Needs
Additional Staffers

The Agnes Scott News is cur-
rently in need of new reporters,
photographers and feature writers.

No previous experience on a
newspaper of any type is neces-
sary.

All sophomores, juniors and
seniors interested in working for
this publication should come to the
Publications building located be-
hind Campbell Hall at 6:45 p.m.
today.

Mr. Ewing S. Humphreys, Jr., in
memory of his wife, has given the
college one of her paintings. Mary
Louise Bealer Humphreys, Class of
'46, was killed in the Paris plane
crash of 1962.

The collection also includes a
portrait by John James Masque-
nier and a landscape by Claude
Lorrain Gelee. Both are gifts of
Mrs. Carl Mitson.

Among the recent purchases are
some early manuscript pages of
the fifteenth and sixteenth cen-
turies.

There are several etchings, in-
cluding one by Pierre Renoir.

Among the works displayed in
the hall are several by members
of the Class of '63. These works
are gifts to Agnes Scott by that
class.

College's Alumnae
To Extend Invitation

This year for the first time
Agnes Scott alumnae in the great-
er Atlanta area will serve as alum-
nae sponsors for the freshmen.

The program is part of the Alum-
nae Association's continuing ef-
fort to establish and maintain rela-
tionships between alumnae and stu-
dents.

An orientation meeting for the
alumnae was held September 11 to
discuss plans for *the project.

The alumnae will entertain their
sponsorees in their homes and will
encourage them to take advantage
of cultural and social opportunities
in Atlanta.

The sponsorship program was
initiated to replace the tea given
for freshmen in the alumnae house.

Seniors Announce
Plans for 1963-64

Caps and gowns have been order-
ed for 143 seniors. This is 21 more
seniors than in the Class of '63.

Laurie Oakes, president of the
senior class, says that the class
has few definite plans for the year
now, but intends to have "lots of
news" in the next two weeks.

Senior Advisory Council will
serve as a sounding board for
senior activities throughout the
year.

Members of the council are
Ruth Zealy, Ann Shield, Mike Bill-
iard, Polly Paine, Karen Selser,
Lucy Herbert, Lorrie Wicker, Ann
Kennedy, Charlotte Conner.

Another member will be select-
ed from the day students.

Plans are being made for tradi-
tional senior activities such as
Black Cat and Investiture.

Most of all, however, the seniors
plan to graduate.

View From Infirmary Sunroom
inspires Fall Sports Forecast

I am writing this while lying in
the infirmary just resting, no-
thing serious, I hasten to add,
knowing the amount of concern,
apprehension and so forth that can
follow something like this.

At any rate I guess my column
could be thought of as "direct from
the infirmary to you" and, of
course, I considered entitling it
"From My Bedside" or something
equally as witty and catchy.

However, realizing that the
title of the article always comes
under the title of the column
(A. A. News), it occured to me
that perhaps this was not the
image that the Athletic Associ-
ation would care to project of
one of their members.

You may be interested to know
that due to the lack of epidemics
being treated by the infirmary at
this time, I was given the Sun
Room.

This room which derives its
name from the ancient tradition
of many infirmaries' inclination to-
ward misnomenclature (i.e. this is
not a word), was so designated, I
gathered, because it had more
than two windows.

Now I may be faulty and un-
fair in my judgment a thought
that plagues me on numerous
occasions but, if this was not
the reason for its name, then I
am at a complete loss.

For one thing the room is lo-
cated in the rear of the infirmary
(note for those not yet familiar
with this section of the campus:
it is immediately in front of the
May Day Dell, the heart of the
shadiest section of the campus
community, and for another thing
the blinds were drawn the whole
time I was there.

Being immersed in the whole
intellectual atmosphere of Agnes
Scott, I naturally found it diffi-
cult to sleep right away, being
bothered by twinges of guilt and
small inside voices screaming out
something about wasting time.
All of this being quite a stimu-
lus, I glanced around the room to
see if there were something
handy which could be used as an
outlet for all of this excess
energy.

It was at about the same time
that I caught sight of the jigsaw
puzzles that drifted in from the
hockey field (only a stone's throw
away) almost like the wafting of
a soft breeze.

Hearing the gleeful sounds of
girls' voices lifted in ecstasy
and excitement rising to a
pitch of oneness and togetherness,
I couldn't help but be engulfed by

the spirit of unity that binds Ag-
nes Scott girls together.

In spite of the fact that it
turned out to be the record used
by the dance group inside the
gym, it was so much like the
excited sounds heard frequently
on the hockey field during the
fall that it really didn't make
any difference.

Because this is really the point
of hockey and all the rest of the
sports at Agnes Scott, the learn-
ing of actual skills and techniques
is always secondary to the spirit
of teamwork and the idea of
throwing all of oneself into a
group effort.

It is the idea of setting aside
self-glory in favor of striving for
the glory of the team and the
class.

Dr. Alston speaks quite fre-
quently of the wonderful day in
the life of every Scott girl,
when instead of speaking in
terms of "they," she begins
using the word "we."

There being many paths to this
ultimate goal, the Athletic Asso-
ciation believes sports to be one
of the best and surest paths in
this direction.

That is why right now I am ex-
tending again the "invitation" to
all especially to freshmen to
PARTICIPATE .

Start this year off with a bang
go out for the hockey team and
let yourself be engulfed in a uni-
fying experience and spirit that
you may never know again.

I had planned on closing this
column with some sort of a
reference to the infirmary as
being "a nice place to visit,
but . . ."

However, it seemed upon re-
flection, there being a greait deal
of triteness already within these
lines, could it be that that might
be the straw that would break the
camel's back?

Georgia's Teachers
Confer On Campus

The college will hold an invita-
tional conference for teachers Oct.
5. The theme will be "Georgia:
The Scene of Change."

The purpose of the conference
is to make Georgia teachers more
aware of the state's relation to the
federal government and interna-
tional affairs.

Mrs. Elizabeth C. Stack of the
Agnes Scott Department of Edu-
cation got the inspiration for the
concerence from the "Our World
Today" programs.

In talking to teachers, principals,
and school superintendents she
found a general desire to know
more about current problems of
Georgia.

Speakers for the conference in-
clude Dr. Wallace Alston, Mrs.
Anna Green Smith, Miss Mildred
R. Mell and William G. Cornelius
from Agnes Soobt.

Pat Kelly, managing editor of the
Atlanta Journal, will speak on "The
Future Issues of the Georgia
Scene" at the closing session.

all the walls.

In addition, new cream-oolored
linoleum flooring compliments the
neutral color of the walls, emd a
certain section of the ceiling has
been cleaned.

All these improvements have had
the effect of brightening up the
library and softening its atmos-
phere so -that reading and study,
ing there is a pleasure.

One of the most welcome innova-
tions is the new browsing area
established at the right of the en-
trance where attractive cases dis-
play a formidable collection of
paperbacks.

The books in this collection, some
of which are used for courses, cover
several broad areas of learning, in-
cluding anthropology, history,
literature and psychology.

The library has a fund set aside
for the development of this paper-
back collection and hopes to en-
large it in the near future.

There is a special allotment of
money for the purchase of art
books.

These books are not catalogued,
but students may check them out
for the regular time; the staff
hopes that students will take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to ex-
pand their reading lists.

When interviewed, Mrs. Byers
mentioned that she welcomes any
suggestions.

Eton College and at Oxford Uni-
versity. He received honors in
history and theology.

In 1930 he became the first Di-
rector of Religious Drama in Bri-
tain.

Since that time he has maintain-
ed a close association with various
fine drama groups of Great Bri-
tain.

From 1948-1957 Mr. Browne was
director of the British Drama
League, the world's largest society
concerned with the /theatre.

Mr. Browne was responsible for
the first productions in London and
New York of all the plays of T. S.
Eliot.

He was director and producer of
the first production of Christopher

Chorus Ranks By 50

The Agnes Scott Glee Club is
larger than ever this year.

Tryouts for new members were
held September 23-25. Individual
auditions lasted three minutes.

There are approximately fifty
new members, about forty of which
are freshmen.

The total membership for the
1963-64 session is ninety-three.

Membership is more evenly dis-
tributed among the different class-
es this year, with a wider repre-
sentation of upperclassmen than
previously.

From Pan To Fire?

Kennedy versus Goldwater in 1964? Unbelievable, ridicu-
lous? Maybe. But before anyone guffaws too loudly too soon,
let's look the situation over calmly.

Kennedy will undoubtedly try for a second term in office.
Anything Ike could do, he can do, too.

Kennedy's liberal ideas have upset many people he
wants to spend money too liberally, to cut taxes too liberal-
ly, to integrate schools too liberally.
In short, they say, his programs are socialistic, unconsti-
tutional, radical and unwise.

So thousands of disillusioned voters (especially in the
South) are now turning to Barry Goldwater in the hope that
he can defeat Kennedy and his youthful clan.
Goldwater welcomes this new popularity and is willing to
let people speak of him as a Presidential candidate. Yes, he
receives endorsements from such radical groups as the
K.K.K. and never feels compelled to make public his
thoughts on the race problem.

He is a paradoxical figure. He is against practically every-
thing. from foreign aid to farm parities.

He is for the Constitution, the individual and the United
States. His ideas seem sane enough when pictured on a
broad scale, but when one brings them down to a prac-
tical level, they seem vague and inadequate.
For example, Goldwater is himself an integrationist; yet
he insists that he would leave the states alone to find their
own solutions. This reasoning seems very noble and just, until
a state like Alabama or Mississippi exhibits to the world how
it will find a solution to the problem.

The year 1964 may bring Kennedy and Goldwater into the
Presidential contest. It would certainly make an interesting
campaign, since the two are so diametrically opposed.
But what about the millions of voters whose political
views are to the right of Mr. Kennedy and to the left of
Mr. Goldwater? How are those poor souls to exercise their
right to vote?

There is only one fair way to choose between two such
candidates. The voter must weigh each man's words care-
fully and vote for the one whose views seem more logical
and wise.

In any case, if Goldwater does face Kennedy in 1964, we
can be sure of one thing we will hear some really
passionate and eloquent arguments from both sides. And,
who knows, maybe one of them will convince us along
with those other millions of moderates!! M.L.L.

ASC - NSA

A dilemma faces the Agnes Scott Student body should
we or should we not withdraw our membership from the
National Student Association (NSA)?

As members of this organization there are several prob-
lems we must face.

The NSA primarily seeks to promote students' rights.

Such a policy means that it will try to insure our academic
rights to pursue knowledge freely and to evaluate not only
contemporary social issues, but also our relationship with
the faculty.

The NSA advertently oposes over-protective paternalism on
the part of college faculties 'and the practice of professional
oaths; in general it has taken a liberal stand on political
issues.

However, a liberal orientation by no means contradicts
its belief that an active debate of opinion, whether con-
servative or liberal, can be the most valuable part of a
student's life.

ft aims to extend education beyond the "cloistered life of
the classroom."

To accomplish this NSA sponsors student congresses and
forums at which a variety of opinions are aired. A congress
may also pass resolutions which summarize the consensus,
if any, derived from heated discussions.

In recent years the NSA has faced charges of being com-
munistic, but it denies all these accusations.

In short, the organization serves as a clearing-house for
ideas and as a medium of communication among students
from all parts of the country; it is also a coordinator between
students and faculties and a stimulant to "world awareness."

The question is do Agnes Scott students wish to partici-
pate in such an organization?

Each student will have to answer that question individ-
ually by investigating our obligations as members.

Tf we remain in NSA we should try to be at least active, if
not dynamic members, and to be active members we must
stay alert and take an interest in electing our proxies to NSA
debates.

Those elected will represent the entire student body of
Agnes Scott, and the stands they take will be attributed to
our individual opinions.

If we would like to be represented fairly, it is an obliga-
tion to voice our views on various issues and to seek the
election of sympathetic representatives. L.H.

By SUE KEITH-LUCAS

Have you even wondered what
happens when your date calls in
to Agnes Scott? Why can't you get
an outside line in less than ten
minutes sometimes?

Just look at the problems of run-
ning the switchboard for over 700
people then you'll know.

With 27 lines connecting us to
the outside world, you'd iJiink that
there would be enough for all the
necessary calls.

During a busy hour, however, the
switchboard handles 150-200 calls.

Figure it out; you'll see why the
five-minute rule is essential.

And also realize that when the
operator is busy, she can't keep
track of how long you've been on.
That's your job.

Yes, only one girl at a time
handles this job.

Working for student-aid, she is
often the first contact people out-
side have with the college.

How she remains pleasant is a
mystery to anyone who has ever
watched her.

Particularly frustrating is the
boy who calls and asks for "Susie
Jones, she's a Sophomore who lived
in Rebekah last year and is now
somewhere in Walters, I'm not
sure which floor, but it's extension
285."

All he needs to say is "285", and
maybe add a "please."

All that useless information is
just wasting time. If he doesn't
know your number, just your name
will do.

When the operator says "I'm
sorry, but that line's busy," to
an outside caller, she has already
checked all the extensions on that
floor, even though he only asked
for one.

She's smart, too, and knows he
doesn't care which phone on a haiU
he gets.

A little trick for the boy who's
really trying to get through: if
the number is busy, he may ask to
wait for it.

If there's no one else, or only
one, already waiting, the operator
will let him.

His line will sound dead, but
she'll break in periodically to let
him know that she hasn't forgotten
him.

Okay, so now our dates have
reached us. How about our getting
lines out?

Again there's a problem, getting
calls from about 300 extensions
through only 27 lines.

To begin, dia^ "O" and wait (all
calls coming in and progress re-
ports have priority over you so it
may take a little while).

Don't click the line unless it's a
real emergency. The operator
knows you're there, and clicking
will just annoy her.

She also knows you want an
outside line, so there's no need to
say it, just give your extension and
then hang up.

In a real emergency very slow

clicking will get her; a quick rattle-
rattle- rattle doesn't flash the lights
on the board, and she can't tell
where it's coming from.

There are six lines to the ope-
rator, so you may have five ahead
of you. Try some patience.

Finally, about those long-distance
calls.

If they come to the switchboard,
the operator will send them to the
pay phone on your hall. They don't
have to go through the regular sys-
tem.

Sound complicated? It really
isn't that bad.

The situation is improving fast
with the seven new lines this
year. (There were only 13 in '60-
'61 when the Seniors were Fresh-
men.)

Soon two girls will work the
board during busy hours.

Tuesday and Wednesday are the
worst nights now, but with a little
patience, anyone, who really wants
to talk to you can get through.

College Marrieds Juggle Dual Role

By SANDY PRESCOTT

There are about 15 girls at Agnes
Scott who seem to be managing
successfully the kind of life one of
last week's News editorials implied
could not be very easily managed
. . . . the very full one.

These girls are known, according
to my assignment title, as Agnes
Scott's "Married Students."

Unfortunattely, we were unable
to interview all of the girls, but
we were able to track down a few
between classes in the Hub. at
home and on the telephone.

Among those who still have that
six weeks' glow still on their faces
are Myra Morel ock Gottsche
(Jack). Marty Jackson Frame

(Dick), and Betty Alvis Giradeau
(John).

Myra, while sitting at the piano
in the Hub one afternoon, said that
being married and still going to
school Was easier and "a lot more
fun" than she had imagined.

She gets up at 6:30 each morn-
ing, fixes a huge breakfast before
going to classes.

She and Jack (he's at Tech)
study in the afternoon and from
7:30 to 11 in the evening. They
even manage to entertain company
and/or go out several times a
week.

Marty Frame seems to echo
Myra's opinion of being married.
Although she is plagued by two

He was a June graduate of Tech
and is now working for an air-
conditioning firm in Atlanta.

Marty claims that by now, she
can study easily while Dick watch-
es TV in the evening (sometimes
via those television ear plugs!).

Switching from these newlyweds,
let's go to one of the "older" mar-
ried students. Frances Mahon
Howard.

Ditty and Charles have been
married a year Sept. 8. long enough
to get settled and "off the cloud."
(It's hard to tell if they really are
yet. though!)

Ditty says that "settling down
and organizing eve ry thing" is much
"easier now" than it was when
they were first married.

She and Charlie don't have a set
study schedule (he's in law school)
and they work in the afternoon.

Still, she seems to find time to do

everything.

All of the couples interviewed
seemed to have no misgivings about,
their decisions, and. in a word, are
enjoying married life tremendous-
ly.

Ditty emphasized that there are
many problems and adjustments to
make < having a new roommate),
but they can all be solved and met
by time and effort.

Mail Locks Suggest
New Honor Attitude

As one of humble station in this
worthy institution, I hesitate to
make value judgements as to the
relative merits of this or that poli-
cy of the school.

It is with heavy heart and trem-
bling fingers, therefore, that I
peck out words that some may
take to be less than complimentary
to Agnes Scott. After all, who am
I to question?

Thus, this week I compliment
the administration for its far-
sightedness.

One of the best aspects of this
institution is the fact that there
is an honor system, something
which states that we all may
live in honor and trust.
We do not have the fear that
is omnipresent in other schools
that our personal belongings are
not safe from theft. We know that
everyone here is honest.

Oh, the beauty of this arrange-
ment!

We know that we could leave
our mail in our mailboxes for two
months and no one would think
of stealing (pardon me) or ' 'bor-
rowing' ' our Watson's bills or let-
ters from our true loves.

Yet, for some reason, which
I'm sure must be an excellent
one, the Powers That Be deemed

You know about the enforced

Conformity In College
Extends Past Fashion

"But you all wear dresses!" So

my bearded friend said, cinching
the argument that all Agnes Scott
girls are conformists.

Maybe so at least as far as
dress is concerned. Weejuns,
patched (unnecessarily) elbows,
and Villager labels are fairly com-
mon on this campus.

But is dress really the ulti-
mate indication of conformity?

Isn't it far more important in
an academic community that we
not fall into the trap of thinking
alike?

Whenever a student is afraid to
express an opinion that opposes
a professor's or that of the ad-
ministration ,a far more signifi-
cant conformity has won over in-
dividual freedeom.

Whether our views are uncon-
ventional, wrong or just plain
different, the freedom to hold
them belongs to each of us.

The Freshman who accepts the
Senior's opinion as gospel is aban-
doning her own freedom and re-
sponsibility.

The Senior who is afraid 'to ad-
mit that she would like to join
the Peace Corps or go on with
graduate work and accepts the
standard of "teach a year or so
and then marry" is guilty of a
similar type of conformity.

Freedom from conformity

must also exist in other fields.

Autumn Season Revitalizes AA;
Fervor To Spread on Campus

By

MARTHA

MONTMEAT

Alarming though it may be, it
has been brought to our attention
that there are far too many seden-
tary souls on our campus; far too
many of those around us are exist-
ing as organisms plodding along
day by day; "sticking it out" for
four years only a brief but typi-
cal segment in the non-descript
pattern that spans the many years
between birth and death.

Thank heavens, this cancerous
sore was called to our attention
while there is still time to prevent
further spreading.

And so in the interest of all of
this, it is my pleasure to dedicate
this, A. A.'s column, as a deter-
rent, as a guiding and illuminating
force, for the express purpose of
guiding and illuminating us all
back onto the ROAD OF LIFE.
Or maybe this is better

summed up in the phrase "Live

life every golden minute of it."

(Yes, indeed, that was a quote.

From whence cometh it? We are

not permitted to print those

nasty words, but if you will see

me about it . . .)

At any rate, here in the great
tradition of all the orators, states-
men, and politicians that have
ever rallied their people to action
is the tremendous power of the
press being the light in the dark
and infusing new life into its
opiated masses!

By the time that you have
finished reading this column, if
you don't feel as Sleeping Beauty
must have, after being awakened
by the Prince's kiss, then you had
better go back to Geritol, because
at least they'll give you a refund,
and there aren't a whole lot of
princes left in these parts, if you
know what I mean.

Now to begin with, it's fall,
which most of the nation associ-
ates with cool, crisp days, apple
cider, Indian com, wool, sweaters,
rosy cheeks and the autumn hues
seen throughout nature.

All right, now wait, calm
down certainly we can find
something to associate with fall.
(After all this is only one of the
ways in which we are, well, a
little different from the rest of
America).

We can certainly associate fall
with the beginning of a new school
year; a new beginning nine
months of complete unknown on
its way (Oh, boy, is it having any
signs of effect yet?)

On top of THIS, HOCKEY has
begun! Yes, it has! No, indeed, you
haven't missed it, but it's missed
you.

Don't forget that all hockey
games are on Fridays and you
only need to go to one practice
(Wednesday and/or Thursday
afternoons) before each game,
except the Black Cat game this
Friday. You must have attended
two practices before it.
The new hockey managers have
been chosen! They are Carol
Campbell, for the freshman class,
Jan Gaskell, for the sophomores,
Marilyn Little, juniors, and Mi-
chele Bullard, seniors.

Besides planning to attend the
hockey practices this week, be
sure to turn down all dates for
Thursday evening (tomorrow),
so that you can come to the
bonfire. Further information,
i. e. time and place is bound to
be released to us.
Now this bonfire is designed to
capture and channel in a healthy
direction all the excitement and
tingling in anticipation of this
weekend that seems to be electri-
fying the air these days just al-
most beyond control. This is a real
fun night be sure not to miss it
(would you miss Christmas Eve?)

One of the things I have never
understood is that many of the
girls who spend the NIGHT BE-
FORE BLACK CAT in the Library,
seem to go completely crazy on
something as mundane as the night
before New Year's Day. It prob-
ably must have something to do
with emotions too long inhibited.
After this weekend is over
(we'll pass over this thought
quickly), if hockey is just not
for you, open archery is open
for all on Tuesday afternoons
from 4-5:30. Sally Abernathy
is the floating archery manager
i.e. the supreme manager; one
who is far and beyond all petty
class divisions.

On that note and the follow-
ing although we may feel de-
cadent, in most states medical
authorities do not recognize any-
one under twenty-one as being de-
cadent we shall close this week's
column, feeling somewhat as
Patrick Henry and others must
have.

Professor Praises
Smallness of ASC

This is the first of a series of
articles on new professors at the
college by Assistant Editor Sally
Pockel.

One of the new faculty members
this year is Mr. Frederick C. Gif fin,
visiting instructor in the history
department.

He is replacing Mr. Swartz for
one year while Mr. Swartz is in
Europe.

Mr. Gilrm, a native of Ohio, be-
gan his undergraduate studies at
the University of Michigan and
later received his B.A. degree at
Denison University.

He received his M.A. from Emory
University and is now working
there on his Ph.D.

Mr. Gif fin has taught as a stu-

mer he taught at Oglethorpe Col
lege.

His special field is Russian
history, and the title of hisdoctorial
dissertation is "Russian Labor
Legislation in the 1880's".

Mr. and Mrs. Gif fin have been
j living in the Atlanta area for three
years. They and .their nineteen-
month-old son Scott are now resid-
ing at the Emory Woods apart-
ments.

Mr .Giffin is particularly fond
of small colleges because of the
advantages of closer student-pro-
fessor contact.

He feels that large schools are
too impersonal to afford the stu-

This rating is the second highest
award given by the college press
association which has thousands
of members throughout the United
States.

Newspapers from colleges and
universities are submitted to the
group for judging by professional
journalists. The newspapers are
classified according to the fre-
quency of publication and the en-
rollment of the institution. The
News is classified as a weekly pa-

The News missed the coveted
award by 190 points when it ob-
tained a total of 3,310 points.

Special areas in which the
judges felt the News excelled were
treatment of copy, content, edi-
torials, sports coverage, headlines,
typography and printing (thanks
to the printer of the paper, Fred
Hill of the DeKalb New Era.

Papers judged included those
published under the editorships of

Arts Magazine
Sets Deadline

AURORA, the coUege creative
arts magazine, has set October 25
as its fall deadline date for entries.

Any student can contribute and
is urged to do so.

In the literary field, nearly all
types of creative work are accept-
able. Entries must be restricted to
the shorter forms, however. These
include, for example, the short
story, poem, and short play.

An art entry may be in any
medium from which an engraving
or photograph can be made.

Entries should be placed in the
AURORA box in the mailroom.

On November 5, an open AURO
RA staff meeting will be held.
This will be the first year such a
meeting has been held.

The staff will discuss informally
the literary entries. The authors of
all works criticized will be kept
ananymous.

The articles will be available for
interested students to read prior
to the meeting.

The meeting will provide an
opportunity for the student body
to observe the way in which the
AURORA staff works. It will par-
ticularly benefit the authors of
the entries and those who wish
to contribute in the future.

Skeletons

The spirit of Agnes Scott was well demonstrated last week-
end at the Black Cat ceremonies. However, the heart-warming,
outward manifestations of the spirit of ASC caused my most
skeptical mind to ponder upon the true character of the
Agnes Scott community.

Last year the campus was plagued by thievery.

Several thousand dollars worth of articles and cash were
"missing" from their owners. Some of the theft was concen-
trated in specific areas while the rest extended throughout
the campus.

The student executive committee, with the help of some
very discreet private detectives, made a great effort to solve
these "petty" crimes, all to no avail.

Many traps were set and numerous articles were dusted
with a substance which would only reveal itself under ultra
violet rays.

The tests for this substance revealed only that the articles
in question were turned into the Lost and Found.

It would give us the greatest pleasure to announce to all
of you that the thief or thieves have been apprehended. We
can make no such announcement.

Another year is well underway and the larceny is con-
tinuing as before.

The student executive committee, of course, has not dis-
continued its extensive efforts to solve this mystery.

The culprits are merely very clever.

Locks have been provided for closets, yet one can hardly
lock all one's possessions in a closet.

The solution lies somewhere else.

The Handbook states that theft is punishable by suspension
or expulsion. The honor system makes no allowance for theft,
and the Lord said "Thou shalt not steal.' 7 Under what policy
then is this person living?

Is she an example of the real Agnes Scott character, or
is she just a sister who is a little confused?
The shame cannot be restricted only to the thief.

The student body must blame itself for allowing such
activity.

We are a Christian school, which covets honor and integrity
above all else, yet we keep this skeleton in our closet.

Embarrassing, degrading, disreputable yet we cannot
allow ourselves to deny its actuality while we hasten to pro-
tect a sterling reputation.

Theft is common in society today and Agnes Scott is
not above this society; but she is a member of it.
If all our efforts fail us we shall most probably find our-
selves having to accept a final alternative.

This alternative may be our acceptance of the modern, and
often efective, methods of criminal apprehension practiced
and perfected by the larger community around us.

This, without doubt, would be a shock to Agnes Scott
as a whole and we would be forced to muster all the ma-
turity necessary to cope with such a situation should it be
impending.

Some say we lack this quality, but most probably they
would have a surprise in store.

The shame involved in the present situation will not be
compounded if we approach the future with the proper
attitude of maturity and understanding.

The time for action is at hand, but we're afraid that
without full student support it will be smothered into
oblivion.

The student body is asked to consider this problem as well
as its possible solution.

The articles being stolen are yours; the reputation being
damaged is yours and the only means of solution are through
you.

We cannot forget what happened last year, nor can we
ignore what is going on now.

The time has come to show the Board of Trustees that
maturity we once claimed to have. Is it still there or have
we just given up? S. Pockel

Letters to
Editor

Enderlin

To the Editor:

Late Sunday af ternoon a number
of us became concerned about a
collie which lay on the grass be-
side the colonnade, sick and visibly
suffering.

The Humane Society and the dog
pound weren't available on Sunday.

The campus police had two alter-
natives: to allow the dog to suffer
until the proper authorities could
pick her up in the morning, or to
put a merciful and immediate end
to her suffering.

Neither choice was pleasant to
make concerning someone's pet.

Last year the campus became ex-
cited over 'the idea that we wanted
to exercise more freedom, in spite
of the fact that in such matters as
voluntary chapel attendance we
have shown our inability to use our
present liberty wisely.

This unrest took the heading of
"IN LOCO PARENTIS." We de-
manded to be put on our own. We
could take care of ourselves.

Late on a Sunday afternoon, with
the Dean's Office closed, worried
about a suffering animal, we in-
stinctively and perhaps presumptu-
ously turned to Dr. Alston for ad-
vice. With characteristic kindness
and special concern for whatever
affects us, he immediately took the
time and trouble to have the ani-
mal cared for.

To those of us who are relieved
from concern about the dog, this
was one more example of Doctor
Alston's sensitivity to our assorted
needs.

We have seen this in his constant
recognition of the fluctuating
campus mood, and perhaps we felt
it most strongly when he met our
needs during the tense days of the
"Cuban Crisis" last year.

It is indeed a unique college in
which students can turn to their
president over such a mundane
matter as a sick dog.

It is one in which there is a par-
ental sort of concern for whatever
affects us. This is a reciprocal rela-
tionship.

If on one hand we have certain
standards decided for us instead
of being given complete freedom to
choose, on the other we find a
depth of concern and a degree of
availability which makes me deeply
appreciative of a school and of a
president who care enough to be
"IN LOCO PARENTIS."

Poetry Publication
Announces Contest

The National Poetry Press pub-
lishes annually a "College Student's
Poetry Anthology."

Any college student is eligible to
submit his verse.

There is no limitation as to
either form or theme. Shorter
works are preferred because of
space limitations.

Each poem must be typed or
written on a single sheet, and must
bear the name and the home ad-
dress of the student, as well as
the name of the college attended.

Entries should be addressed as
follows: National Poetry Press,
3210 Selby Avenue, Los Angeles 34,
California.

The allegory, "Enderlin," presented in chapel today proved
wrong the old saying that artists can never work together.

They worked, in addition, toward a definite, exacting goal,
disproving another pet theory of those who do not know
that artists cannot settle down to anything absolutely con-
crete and mundane.

The united groups presented a production which in con-
crete form was simple yet complex.

The plot was simple yet the meaning behind the plot was
far from that. The fact that the entire production was an
allegory only added to the impact which the skit had upon
the campus.

The entire field of the arts deals in symbols which, through
various media, attempt to express what artists experience
and need to communicate as real. The allegory therefore
attempted to deal in symbolic form with the field of symbols
itself, the arts.

Why should everything presented to the students of this
college be "spelled out?"

Through the means used today, more discussion is stimu-
lated and more people are given an opportunity to think,
if they will only take advantage of it.

The purpose of the convocation was to familiarize the en-
tire student body and faculty with the opportunities on
campus for participation in arts activities.

The News, to publicize further future arts events, has
included in this issue a calendar prepared by the members
of the Arts Council for the rest of the quarter.

Every quarter this paper plans to devote space to these
calendars so that students may clip them to use as references.

A glance at these events for the forthcoming months will
show that one does not have to be a professional or a person
majoring in the field to participate. Indeed, one need only
indicate that she is interested enough to come to these events.

The success or failure of this coordinating group still in its
formative stages depends upon the expressed interest of stu-
dents.

You have the opportunity; will you use it? N.B.

Hub-bub

Spirits Remain High
As Memory Lingers

Well, another Black Cat has
come and gone, leaving only vari-
ous and sundry memories.

To a girl named Diane, the event
will always bring back wonderful
17 hour practice sessions, and a
lucky week with no quizzes.
To members of the chorus,
Black Cat brings back frantic
moments of wondering whether
they were all in step.

To the members of the cast, they
are still breathing that sigh of re-
lief and contentment, that they
did get the big laughs they had
hoped for.

... A certain English professor
who showed up, his hair neatly
combed, leading his class with
gusto.

... A certain professor who fi-
nally showed up.

. . . The class that finally
gelled!

... A certain Dean who, for
some unknown reason, was con-
vulsed with laughter at the line
about "U.N.C. transfers."

. . . Some costumes that dis-
appeared, and a few broken win-
dows.

... A certain Presbyterian min-
ister who is still wondering about
the origin of the Psaltre.

. . . Some Tech boys who did

not seem to apreciate the Ag-
nes Scott of the future (I can't
understand it.)

. . . Seniors, who though few in
number, were large in spirit

. . . Freshmen who were over-
come with the excitement of it all,
and 'sophisticated" upperclassmen,
who were above it all.

So many memories to so many
people.

But whether you felt excited
or apathetic, if you went to the
skit you must have been struck
by the professional job you saw.
I think the members of the cast
should be congratulated for a
job very well done.

Debate Club Plans
Subject For Future

Debates will be held by the De-
bate Club throughout fall and
winter quarters on the topic,

"Resolved: that the federal gov-
ernment will guarantee a college
education for all qualified high
school graduates."

The first of these debates will
be held Tuesday, Oct. 15, at 4:30
p.m. in the McKinney date parlor.
The student body is invited to

attend.

Try-outs for the Club will be
held Tuesday, Oct. 22, for all stu-
dents interested in joining.

The club plans to take new mem-
bers to the University of Georgia
in the near future in order to give
them experience.

Tempo

Tech Comments Show
Slant On Superficiality

In response to my column last
week (dress vs idea conformity) a
Tech boy pinned to a Scottie
wrote me a long and thought-pro-
voking letter.

'It seems," he said, "that much
of the thought that does take
place is trivial . . . Any college
whose students confine their best
mental efforts to 'boys and profs'
is not a first-rate educational in-
stitution."

My immediate reaction was to
contend that "boys and profs"
are not all we think about.
But wait a minute . . . isn't it
significant that a young man who
thinks himself, and who would ex-
pect a girl to use her mind, finds
us flippant and brainless when he
dates one of us?

If so, haven't we carried the
dumb-blond bit so far that we've
lost an important part of our re-
lationships with the men we date?
Most of us came to Agnes
Scott partly because a woman's
college gives us a chance to use
our intelligence as women, not
ever afraid to excel our class-
mates or disagree with them as
we might be afraid to do if we
were in direct competition with
dateable men.

This is fine in the purely aca-
demic world and allows us a great
deal of freedom, but we often turn
our minds off the minute we go
out.

You object that Tech students
don't like smart girls? Maybe so.

But every girl here has an ex-
cellent mind or she wouldn't be
here, and if those boys want dumb
girls, let them look somewhere
else.

Perhaps most of our flippant
brainlessness is what we at-
tempt to substitute for femi-
nine ego-boosting of the male
animal.

It never hurts to make a boy
feel important, but sacrificing the
most characteristic of your own
abilities can't make either you or
him really happy.

Being smart doesn't mean you
can't be feminine in many other
ways, and you ought to be intelli-
gent enough to use them.

Maybe my Tech critic has dated
the wrong girls, but I doubt it. His
comments are disturbing.

Listen to yourself the next
time you're out: do you really
sound as if you are a person
with sound opinions on policies,
or existentialism, or the meth-
ods of organic chemistry?
Of course if you're discussing
football, I hope not, but do you
ever discuss anything on any level
below the superficial?

We're intelligent women, and we
often sneer at Tech or other
schools for having only dumb, un-
intellectual people.

Let's turn the picture around
for a change and see if we hon-
estly appear different.
I'm afraid it hurts.

tee.

Plans are being drawn up for an
exchange with a Mid-western col-

ern school. Diane Hendricks hopes
that an exchange will be possible
this year.

The Eastern colleges seem to be
interested in having their exchange

AGNES SCOn COLLEGE

Founded 1889

An independent liberal arts college for women of highest rank
academically, located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

By LIL HARRIS

No, those new faces among the
older generation are not senior
transfers they are only the girls
who have returned to Agnes Scott
after a year of imbibing the cul-
ture (and other things) of French-
speaking countries.

Margaret Moses, Mary Wearn,
and Ann Beard studied abroad
under the Sweet Briar program;
Smith College, whose program is
similar to Sweet Briar's, spon-
sored Marianna Guion, and Julia
Norton studied in Geneva for the
year.

In early September Margaret,
Ann and Mary sailed over on the
Mauritania "on the tail end of a
hurricane" and they stayed in
Tours for a six- week orientation
period.

They were located about 100
miles south of Paris in the Loire
River Valley, where the purest
French is spoken.

There Mary, Margaret and Ann
enjoyed living with French fami-
lies, eating fresh vegetables and
adjusting to "les microbes" in the
French diet.

Ann says that this period was
a very "calm, quiet existence," al-
though during the week there were
classes for three hours a day.

Their studies at Tours concen-
trated on oral, written work in
order to perfect their French and
prepare them for the "tough" days
ahead at the Sorbonne.

In Tours Margaret had the
chance to stay in the eighteenth
century chateau of a prominent
bourgeois family who run a tapes-
try business.

They make reproductions of pat-
terns from different periods in
French history, and people from
all over France come to solicit
their work.

This same family cultivates
several large vineyards, and every
year they invite the Sweet Briar
students to celebrate the "ven-
dange," which is the day of the
grape harvest.

On this particular day Ann,
Margaret and Mary helped to cut
down and stomp on enough grapes
to make eleven barrels of wine!

After October 20 they spent
most of their time in Paris except
for side trips to Italy for Christ-
mas and Spain for Easter.

At the Sorbonne their classes
were mainly lectures. Mary was
in one class with about 400 stu-
dents who crowded into a large
amphitheatre in fact some of the
students ended up taking notes on
the professor's desk.

Besides studying about the
theatre and taking a course about
impressionism, they actually at-
tended the theatre once a week
and frequently visited the muse-
ums of Paris.

When asked about their reac-
tions to their stay in France they
all agreed it was the most reward-
ing, enriching year of their lives.

According to Mary, the experi-

ences she had and the fact that
she could make so many decisions
for herself in a dynamic environ-
ment made her become a more
mature and independent person.

Ann said that she felt she had
learned more than in any one year
and that they had all learned,
along with the language, some of
the French art of living and en-
joying life.

Curriculum Group
Discusses Changes

The members of the curriculum
committee have recently discussed
the possibility of changing the
present system of major and re-
lated hours to the major-minor or
perhaps double major system.

The possibility of raising the
minimum number of hours re-
quired for a major has been a topic
for debate.

The new tutorial system now
on campus is also under considera-
tion by the committee.

Dramatics.

(Continued from Page 1)

These five plays are "The Crea-
tion of the Heavenly Beings," "The
Creation of Man," "The Garden of
Eden," "The Fall of Man" and
"Everyman."

The first four works listed above
are parts of the York Cycle of
medieval play. They deal with
creation and fall of man and of
heavenly beings.

"Everyman" is a later play. It
deals with morality.

This type of drama originated
and flourished in the Middle Ages.
These plays served as a rather
didactical means of religious in-
struction. They were usually per-
formed by priests.

Miss Winter of the Speech and
Drama Department says that the
! presentation of these plays at
! Agnes Scott will provide an artistic
approach to the universal questions
which arise from the history of
man.

All five of the short dramas were
edited by E. Martin Browne.

"The Darkness and the Light"
will be produced in its entirety on
each of 'two consecutive nights, No-
vember 22-23.

Although preparations for the
presentation of this series of plays
are still in /the early stages, several
details are already evident.

The Dance Group will play a
vital role in the production. They
will represent the Heavenly Beings,
the Devils, and Humanity in the
five plays.

The plays will also employ choral
and musical effects.

Richard Hensel will supervise the
musical contributions.

Miss Kay Osborne will supervise
the Dance Group's part in the pro-
duction.

Miss Winter emphasizes the fact
that the entire production is still
in the creative stages.

Biology Study of Man's Duality
Invites Criticisms for Column

By

MARTHA

MONTMEAT

As any first yeax Biology stu-
dent will tell you, one of the
distinguishing characteristics of
living things is re-activity, i. e.
sensitivity to environment.

Hand in hand with re-activity is
what is known as adaptability, or,
after sensing the environment, liv-
ing things must have the ability
to adjust to surroundings.

As we (if we) trace patterns of
life from microscopic organisms
on up, we find that due to the fact
that we, as human beings, are crea-
tures of ration and all, we have
need of a little more challenge
than, say, a Paramecium.

Thus, man is presented with
sort of a dual-sided environ-
ment: physical and mental.

If we were to further explore
the mental side, we would be
bound to stumble at some point
across the aspect of criticism, with
which every human being must
constantly contend.

As was aforementioned, but
which I will mention again any-
way, everyone contends constantly
with criticism.

However, I feel (with regards
to toes on which I may now be
stepping) that we might carry
this somewhat farther by saying
that some must contend more than
others.

That is, those who extend
themselves, risking lives and
fortunes, are naturally more
subject to criticism than those
who don't.
Newspapers in general are a
favorite subject of criticism.

Yet only in a most intimate
circle of trusted friends might I
be tempted to point out the fact
that THIS COLUMN, IN THE
FACE OF . . . but then again even
your best friend will tell you that
this is a somewhat childish
attitude and will probably go on
to remind you that you are not
being quite as Christian as your
neighbor, who more than likely
loves you (in other words, try
adopting an air of nonchalance
and/or an attitude of semi-in-
difference).

Or, if they happened not to
be Christian (a silly thought),
they might simply suggest that
I not let this get to me.
I'd probably, though, come back
at them with something profound,
like, CBI1 one retain his sensitivity
to environment if he becomes in-
different?

There does seem to be sort of
a conflict there, and I, on behalf
(?) of the newspaper, welcome
any and all ideas that readers (?)
may have on this.

The usual procedure, I sup-
pose, would be to write letters
to the editor.

However, in this case, it might
be better if all letters were en-
closed in plain wrappers and
slipped unobtrusively to me.

There are two prime reasons for
this, the second one being that
there are only so many words to
be said on the subject of nothing
and by next week's column, I feel
certain that if there is not some
outside help . . .

And now, having arrived finally
at the time/space usually alloted
for athletics in this column, let
me end it by saying that there is
certainly a lot going on in that
reolm (although one who kept up
with this sports column might be
inclined to just the opposite view)
and, if you all would just find out
about it yourselves, this column
might be a little more colorful
and a little less bound to the tra-
ditional, cut-and-dry sportswriting
(a great deal of insight would re-
veal this to be a prime example
of human adaptability to environ-
ment) .

How about a sneak preview,
though, into the exciting
WORLD OF SPORTS, at Agnes
Scott?

A little something to whet our
appetites ?

Did you know that the class
swimming managers had been
chosen?

Oh, well, did you know that
Mariana Guion is the senior
manager, Betsy Bainbridge,
junior; Susie Gebhardt, sopho-
more, and Louise Watkins, fresh-
man?

Or did you know that the prac-
tice schedule went as follows:
Monday, freshmen and seniors;
Tuesday, juniors and sophomores;
Wednesday, seniors and juniors,
and Thursday, freshmen and soph-
omores?

And now, with appetites sharp-
ened to the point of sprouting
edges, let us give thanks that we,
being far more complicated an
organism than the Paramecium
only, out of our sheer ingenius,
could have created an environment
far more subtle, refined and com-
plex, and an atmosphere that in-
cites us ever onward and upward!

Seniors and Sophomores stream energetically onto the Hockey Field to start Black Cat festivities.

Judges Announce Book Award Plans

The McKinney Book Award Con-
test will occupy an important place
in the seventy-fifth anniversary
celebration this year with its
emphasis on the arts and sciences.

Miss Janef Newman Preston,
chairman of the judging committee,
hopes that a number of stu-
dents with a genuine interest in
book collecting will enter the con-
test this year.

An award of $50 is presented
each year in the spring to the stu-
dent who has acquired the most
ctisCTiminating and interesting col-
lection of books during the year.

To be eligible a contestant must
own at least fifteen books, collect-
ed since the last award was given.
The collector should choose books

of lasting value which would form
part of a permanent library.

The collection may contain gifts,
but it should represent the owner's
personal taste.

Books in a field of the collector's
special interest or in several areas
such as science, philosophy, history,
drama, fiction, art, and music
could form a worthy collection.

As soon as possible, book collec-
tors interested in the contest should
give their names to a member of
the English department.

The deadline for entries is the
end of fall quarter.

Judging for the collections takes
place in May, before spring quarter
exams. The judges look at the
books and talk informally to the

Professor O'Bannon
Joins Scott Faculty

By SALLY POCKEL

The Economics Department of
Agnes Scott welcomes Mrs. Joan
Elizabeth O'Bannon of Hyattsville,
Md., to its staff.

Mrs. O'Bannon will serve this
year in the capacity of assistant
professor.

After completing her undergrad-
uate work at the University of
Maryland, Mrs. O'Bannon studied
at the University of Virginia, where
she received he: M.A. and Ph.D. de-

Mrs. O'Bannon taught at Tulane
during two of the three years that
she and Mr. O'Bannon spent in
New Orleans, and she has worked
as an economist for lumber pro-
duction in the forestry services.

Mr. O'Bannon is a research
economist at the Federal Reserve
Bank in Atlanta. Mr. and Mrs.

O'Bannon hope to teach in the
West sometime in the future.

They are considering Oregon
and Colorado.

Price theory is Mrs. O'Bannon's
special field of study.

Because she prefers theoretical
work to experimental work, she
finds teaching a very agreeable
career.

Mrs. O'Bannon offers a tip to
expectant graduate students: She
says that she ''finds it desirable to
change schools when you do grad-
uate work in order to gain varied
opinions".

Although this variation can be
carried to extreme lengths, Mrs.
O'Bannon has found from her own
experience that it can also be of
great value to 'the student.

11 a.m. to 1 p.m. to visitors present
for the dedication and others in-
terested in seeing Agnes Scott's
newest residence hall.

Winship's portrait has been
placed in the lounge of the dormi-
tory.

There is a placque beside this
painting, reading "Winship Hall,
named in recognition of the Win-
ship family and in memory of
George Winship, Chairman of the
Board of Trustees, Agnes Scott
College, 1938-1956."

George Winship was born in At-
lanta June 30, 1884, in the family
home on 'the land where the Howell
House is now. He attended Emory
College at Oxford and Georgia
Tech.

In 1914, he organized the Fulton
Supply Company and was its first
and only President from 1914 until
1956.

He became a member of the
Board of Trustees in May, 1931;
during his service on the Board,
he led four major development
campaigns.

While he was Chairman of the
Board, Pressor Hall, the infirmary,
the observatory, Evans Dining
Hall, Hopkins Hall, Campbell
Science Building, the President's
Home and Walters Hall were
erected.

Dr. McCain said of Winship, "he
was an encourager. He spoke a
good word for the faculty and stu-
dents. There was a promptness
with which he backed up sugges-
tions and made them possible."

"The college more than doubled
in size while he was on the Board."

Campus Democrats

In Search Of...

Are all the Conservatives on campus in hiding?

This campus seems to have a reputation for promoting con-
servative attitudes among its students, yet this year the stu-
dents which in the past have generated this atmosphere are
not vocal to say the least.

The chapel programs during the past two weeks have fea-
tured excellent speakers from both the major political par-
ties and Thursday a rather conservative conservative from
the Young Americans for Freedom will express his views.

During the first talk made by a leader of the Republican
Party in Georgia, emotions were aroused and many questions
put to him challenged a great many of his statements.

The students asking questions definitely indicated liberal
Democratic tendencies, inspite of ThornwelFs statements
concerning his opinions of liberal Democrats.

When Mrs. Melba Williams spoke, most students simply
sat quietly in their seats and few, very few attended a Hub
discussion after her talk.

Where were all the conservatives when they had a chance
to challenge as the liberals had challenged?

One of the most controversial organizations on most
campuses was discussed in the Hub Thursday. Harriet King,
National Student Association co-ordinator sponsored this
discussion in order to ascertain what the student opinion on
this campus was concerning NSA.

During a recent chapel program in which the organization
was explained numerous voices opposing the entire idea of
the organization were heard.

Yet when an oportunity arose in which these people
against NSA on this Southern campus could extensively
express their views, one, only ONE avowed Conservative
appeared.

Is Agnes Scott becoming a one-party student body?
With elections approaching are the conservatives going into
hiding? Are there any at all on this campus?

We would like to hear BOTH sides for a change. N.B.

Year Of Progress?

Agnes Scott celebrates its seventy-fifth anniversary this
year. Such an important year should be a milestone in the
history of an institution. It should be a time when the progress
of the school is noted and when further advancement is
planned.

When one takes the time to reflect, great progress can be
easily discovered. For example, the recent Black Cat depic-
tion of the rules circa 1900 proves that times and restrictions
do change, though somewhat slowly.

Hastily, let us say that this article is not intended as a
call to arms for the abolition of all rules. Rather, it is a
call to the students to remind themselves of the importance
of this year. By the broadening of our minds and experi-
ences now, we may aid the Agnes Scott of the future.

Especially this year we should take advantage of the
opportunities for enlightenment which abound on campus
and in Atlanta. The Lecture Association has done an extra-
ordinary job to procure famous speakers in varied fields of
interest. The rest remains in our hands.

Similarily, there are efforts being made now to start politi-
cal clubs on campus in order to spark more interest in na-
tional and world affairs.

Also, under the direction of Christian Association, there
has been set up a tutorial plan which will tfive students a
chance to aid underprivileged children in their school work.
Approximately thirty girls have offered their time to this
proiect.

Various other grouos have helped with other Jobs such as
voter registration in Southeast Atlanta and playground super-
vision.

Yes, Iheso are fine projects initiated by fine people, but how
can they contribute to Agnes Scott's progress in the future?
Those programs, if supported, will serve to widen the
scone of their participants, and in turn, that of the college.
If enough people make these nroiccts successful in this
Special year the Airnes Scott of the future will undoubtedly

profit greatly. M.L.L.

Dear Editor:

I once knew a boy in high school
who played golf. He talked about
golf "all the time and his friends
talked about golf all the time.

But never did I come to the con-
clusion that every boy in the whole
high school thought about golf and
golf alone.

Somehow the generalization
failed to come to mind.

'Winy, then, I wonder, are Scott
girls so often spoken of in general
terms?

How can anyone say that Scott
girls think only about boys and
profs, and how can one of our own
students write a newspaper article
speaking of our "flippant brain-
lessness"?

There are superficial personali-
ties among us, but I think that
they can hardly be taken to be the
norm.

I 1Link that the norm would be
hard to describe, because at Scott
we are free to be individuals and,
despite those who continually in-
sinuate otherwise, we exercise
that freedom.

During rush week of my fresh-
man year I was told by a seeming-
ly all-wise brother that Scott girls
did drink and that he had been a
witness on many occasions.

The same week I heard another
boy lecture on the obstinacy of
Scott girls who could not be pres-
sured into breaking rules.

Both points of view furnish ma-
terial for an excellent newspaper
story. But which shall we take
for the norm?

If one Scott girl can appear dif-
ferent to different people, how can
one make a statement about seven
hundred Scott girls?

"His comments are disturbing."
Yes, they should be, to his pin-
mate and to those of her friends
who have given him the impression

he has.

Let them worry about superfici-
ality; let the rest of the campus
worry about their own problem.

Like, perhaps, why they let
themselves be called flippantly
brainless, and take it sitting down.

To the editor:

I wish I were a puppy dog

Political Leaders
Discuss Parties

In Thursday chapels during the past two weeks, NSA on
the campus has sponsored speakers from the Republican and
the Democratic parties. The following are resumes of both
of these speeches. This Thursday a representative from the
Young Americans for Freedom will be the featured speaker.

Republican

Speaker was E. English Thorn-
well, director of the Young Re-
publican Delegation and president
of the Young Republican Club of
Georgia. Thornwell is an analyst
for Life Insurance Company of
Georgia.

During the past few years, he
said, there has been tremendous
growth economically in the states
of the Confederacy and with it
hand in hand, has come the growth
of the two-party system in the
South.

'The U. S. liberal democrat
will tell you he is in favor of pro-
grams and programs are no sub-
stitute for principles. The pro-
grams are forward looking look-
ing forward to getting more votes
for democrats."

Thornwell then outlined the
growth of the Republican Party
in the South and in Georgia, and
related circumstances surrounding
the founding of the Young Republi-
can Club in the area. He opened
the floor at this point for ques-
tions. The following are some of
the questions asked and their
answers:

Q. What is the basic difference
in the Republican and Democratic
parties?

A. The Republican party bases
its whole activities on constitu-
tional government. Business should
be handled through private enter-
prise and then through local and
state governments.

Q. What are the positive goals
of the conservative stand?

A. Return
government.

to constitutional

Q. What is the difference be-
tween a liberal and conservative,
specifically?

A. A conservative is one who
believes in the Jeffersonian prin-
ciples. A liberal is 180 degrees
away and believes government
should be involved in everything.
And 180 degrees away is Com-
munist.

Q. Define Americanism and
cite anti-Americanism of the Dem-
ocratic Party.

A. Americanism should mean
part riot ism and one ought not to
laugh at a guy who waves a flag.
For instance, the Republican Par-
ty opposes Medicare and the Demo-
crats then say Republicans hate

old people. Nine out of 10 people
are covered by private insurance.
Let people look out for them-
selves.

Q. Would you call Medicare
anti- American?

A. It would be to me.

Q. How closely aligned Ls your
organization to the John Birch
Society?

A. No one I know of in our
club is a member. If they were, I
wouldn't throw them out. The
John Birch Society is opposed to
Communism and I am too.

Democrats

Speaker was Mrs. Melba Wil-

liams, present secretary of the De-
Kalb County Democratic Executive
Committee.

Mrs. Williams first stressed the
fact that if more women would
participate in government, there
would be better government be-
cause "women usually go into gov-
ernment to make changes, not to
get what they can out of it."

"Everyone should work in his
or her own party. All government
is better when you have a two-
party system."

Mrs. Williams then outlined
what the Democratic Party could
"do for you."

"The Democratic Party is in-
terested in people. The Republicans
are concerned with money and
property.

She then traced the various laws
passed during Democratic admini-
strations in the past decades.

"I was interested to read in Bar-
ry Goldiwater's column the other
day that Franklin Roosevelt was
actually a conservative. That just
shows that the Republican Party
is only about 30 years behind
times."

The major part of Mrs. Williams'
talk concerned the need for a two-
party system in Georgia. She ex-
pressed the belief that the Repub-
lican Party should set up their
own primary system so that
voters would have a choice in the
primary elections.

"Republicans, I believe, should
run a candidate for each office in
the elections."

She then discussed the various
activities in which the Democrat
Club is involved in DeKalb County,
including an investigation into
conflict of interests in the DeKalb
County school board educational
system.

Because of the length of her
talk, questions were not asked.

Letter To The Editor

This letter was received by the
editor during the summer

To the editor:

I have a very unusual request
to ask of you. I would like to pur-
chase a sweatshirt in a size small,
as shown in the picture.

The reason for this request is
because my name is Agnes Scott.

This clipping was on the front
page of the paper wo receive daily.
(Editors note: the clipping was
from the Juno 19, 1963, issue of
the Sioux City Journal. On the
front page was a two-column pic-
ture accompanied by a story of
Elaine Nelson, a junior, who, with
three other people, was rescued
from a cave at Jasper, Term.)

Thank you very much.

BEFORE, AFTER The pictures above, one taken in April and one in October, bear
witness to the famous saying "order brought out of chaos/' The News is indebted to
Muriel Lindsay for this series of photographs.

CLASSIC, MODERN Winship Hall, to be dedicated Saturday, combines classic
Agnes Scott architecture with lavish interior decorations featuring bright colors and
comfortable furniture.

Dedication Of Main In 1891 Begins
ASC Growth, Challenges Winship

A question for the campus com-
munity: Do you realize (and this
may be a shock) that Sco titles
haven't always been interested in
the pursuit of knowledge above all
else?

That there actually was a time
when the incoming students
weren't all Merit Finalists or even
especially prepared?

Back in 1891, for instance,
there's a good chance that the
pursuit of knowledge was just a
secondary kind of thing here.

What the girls were REALLY in-
terested in was something else
entirely. (And that something else
wasn't boys) .

It was more like .the glamorous
and exciting new dormitory, Agnes
Scott Hall (better known to pres-
ent-day Scotties as Main), accord-
ing to Agnes Scott's first president,
Dr. Gaines.

In his history of Agnes Scott,
Dr. Gaines points out that there
was an overflow of new students,

By PEGGY PORTER

"nearly all poorly prepared," who
were "attracted by the new build-
ing and the success of the school".
He says "It is doubtful whether or
not this sudden large increase in
the student body was in the end
an advantage."

Of course, there WERE all sorts
of material comforts in the new
dormitory things that even the
haughty Wins hip-Hilton can' t
claim. Like its 'own electricity
plant. And (even better) its own
chapel. And (Hang on, Hiltonites!),
HOT WATER!

Dr. Gaines also says that Agnes
Scott Hall was "beautiful in archi-
tecture, was heated by steam, and
had sanitary plumbing".

But, actually to get to the point
of this article, and we bet you
thought there wasn't one, the de-
dication of Agnes Scott Hall was
such a glorious occasion that Win-
ship's little ceremony Friday may
never compare with it.

The whole Synod of the Presby-
terian Church in Georgia turned
out en masse for the occasion, and
the publicity and general hullabaloo
attracted so many new students
that the dorm was crowded in its
first year.

Col. George Scott, who had pro-
vided the $82,500 which the build-
ing cost, was there.

The Hon. John Scott, brother of
George and son of Agnes Scott
was there.

So were Agnes Scott's former
pastor, descendants and friends
from Pennsylvania, the session of
the Presbyterian Church of De-
catur, assorted ministers from dif-
ferent denominations, and curious
townspeople.

The president of Emory was also
there.

"It was a great day in the
history of our institution when the
present Main Building was dedi-
cated", says Mr. Gaines.

Can Saturday match this?

CA To Host Pakistani As Speaker

Anwar Barkat, Associate Gen-
eral Secretary Emeritus of /the
Student Christian Movement in
Pakistan, will be on campus Thurs-
day, Oct. 24, to speak with in-
terested students about the 19th
Quadrennial sponsored by the Na-
tional Student Christian Federa-
tion.

The theme of this conference
will be "For the Life of the World,"
based on the belief that the or-
dinary life of man in the world
is the arena of redemption and
reconciliation in which the Chris-

tian Church is called to undertake
its mission.

About 3000 students, half from
the United States and half from
other nations, of various races and
denominations will meet Dec. 27,
1963 Jan. 2, 1964 at Athens, Ohio.

"For the Life of the World" will
be the basic study book used.

The Right Reverend Daniel Cor-
rigan, director of the Home De-
partment of the National Council
of (the Protestant Episcopal Church
will also head the conference.

Other leaders will be the Rev-

erend Milan Opocensky, noted
protestant theologian and the
Reverend Philip Zabriskie, Execu-
tive Secretary of the Department
of College Work of the Protestant
Episcopal Church.

Mr. Anwar Barkat will be spon-
sored by the Christian Association
of Agnes Scott.

He has just completed his work
for the Ph. D. degree in political
science at Duke University.

He will meet with interested
students at 5:45 p.m. on Thursday,
Oct. 24 at Letitia Pate Dinning
Hall for a supper-meeting.

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

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

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

AGNES SCOn COLLEGE

Founded 1889

An independent liberal arts college for women of highest rank
academically, located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

COOL COLORS A faculty committee, working in co-operation
with Rich's in Atlanta, selected the furniture and color schemes
for the "Winship-Hilton." This is one of the numerous study rooms
located on the first floor.

Winship's Ceremony Saturday
Recalls Walters '56 Dedication

The last dedication ceremony
which took place on the campus
of Agnes Scott was on September
26, 1956 when the "ultramodern"
Walters Hall was dedicated.

The program of dedication as
described in the September 26,
1956, issue of the Agnes Scott
News was conducted by the presi-
dent of the college, Dr. Wallace
Alston.

Dr. J. Davison Philips, pastor of
the Decatur Presbyterian Church,
and now a trustee of the college,
delivered the invocation.

In a brief ceremony, the News
continues, the key of the build-
ing passed from the hands of the
architect, E. D. Ivey of Ivey and
Crook Architects, to Otis A.
Barge of Barge-Thompson, the
builders.

These firms were also the archi-
tects and builders, respectively, of
the building to be dedicated Satur-
day.

The key then passed to the
hands of a "member of the Board
of Trustees." President James Ross
McCain gave the dedicatory ad-
dress, after which Dr. Alston

closed the exercises with prayer.

The building was built with part
of a $4 million grant left to the
college in 'the will of Mrs. Frances
Winship Walters who died Nov.
14, 1954.

Total cost for Walters was esti-
mated at $700,000.

Hockey Offers Relaxation
To Students Amidst Tests

By

MARTHA
MONTMEAT

In the course of this week's sur-
vey of the campus scene or in
other words, our search to bring
vey of the campus scene, or, in
to light the REALLY pressing
problems, there seemed to be so
much pressure that we almost
were at a loss for turning out a
column this week (perish the
thought) .

There was so much urgency,
together with the overwhelming
response to last week's sugges-
tion of unobtrusive letters, not
to mention the amount of sports
activities that needed coverage,
that I hardly knew where to
begin and, as a result, almost
didn't.

However, as I glanced at that
ever-increasing mob that has set
up camp on the front lawn of the
Pub, living for the first copies of
the NEWS to be released or to
catch a glimpse of the members
of the staff.

Or that group that loiters in the
mailroom, awaiting the copies,
trying to kill time by re-reading
the engagement notices on the
bulletin boards.

Or as the image of that weekly
scene passed through any mind of
our circulation manager on top of
the table in the mailroom, trying
to calm the screaming masses.

Or when our editor pointed out
to me the fact that I did not seem
to understand exactly the differ-
ence between a weekly column and
free-lance writing, I began to get
an inkling of how many were de-
pendent on this column (do you
suppose they had to point out the
bread lines to ol' Franklin D.?)
And there are only two things
I would like to say further
along this line (I'm sorry; if you
would like to hear more along
this line, I'm completely open
to all requests, and I feel cer-
tain that we can surely squeeze
them in somewhere in next
week's column):
First, that this is indeed enough
to give one a deep sense of awe
and second, isn't it a gaud thin-
that I am by nature a humble
being, strong enough to resist any
surge of pride that might lead to
swel 1 -h eadedness ?

But enough said of this, and
too little of sports. Actually the
old pulse has really picked up
in the area of sports these days.
The outstanding attraction, of
course, is hockey and rightly so.

have been fun and games, but, as
we all know, the real show down
will come this weekend when the
sophomores play the juniors.

And when I say don't miss
this game, the question that goes
through your mind should no
longer be, "Will I have fun?"
but instead, "Agnes Scott, where
may I serve your most pressing
need?"

Hub-bub

All the members of the "Late-
Sleeper, Breakfast-Eater, 8:30
Class-Goer Society" arise and
unite!

In the infinite expansion of re-
corded time, the relative im-
portance of five minutes seems to
be very slight.

What difference does 35 sec-
onds make in a person's life?
Should anyone become con-
cerned about such a minute por-
tion of an hour, not to mention
a day?

Perhaps not, but, being that I
have to write on something, I
thought that this topic would be
as good as any.

To connect all this up with my
opening statement, let me say that
to the members of the aforesaid
society, the importance of a few
seconds is considerable.

There are only so many min-
utes in which to do all the
things that the Society members
have planned. They must keep a
close look at the "official" clock
near them, be that timepiece in
the Dining Hall (as they are
standing bravely in the break-
fast line, wondering what de-
lights the meal will hold for
them), or taking that last drag
off of their cigarette in the Hub,
before dashing off to class.
Now, this problem could easily
be solved, to the delight of all
concerned.

With all of the electric clocks
on this campus, it would seem that
they would keep accurate time.
Maybe they do.

However, the problem is that

their respective accuracies do
not seem to coincide.

This does not worry those who
do not eat breakfast, or get up
late. They must have all the time
in the world. At least they do in
the mornings. But what about the
rest of the day?

It is rather disconcerting to look
at the clock in the Hub and think
you have five minutes to get to
class, only to enter the doorway
to find that the teacher has just
marked you absent!

There are some teachers in
our school who would almost
rather have a student cut than
be late to their class.
For upperclassmen, they can cut
if they are in this plight, and then
spend two hours copying notes.
But, how about the poor Freshmen
who as yet have not received the
privilege of voluntary class at-
tendance? They are just out of
luck.

So how about it? Why not
synchronize all the "official"
clocks on campus so we will
know whether we are supposed
to be coming or going?

Growth Pains Include
Drudgery, Excitement

By SUE KE

Periodically, some one at Agnes
Scott mentions the "dialogue" of
learning and sets off a discussion
of faculty-student relationships or
response to assigned material.
These discussions tend to in-
clude the excitement to be
found in the learning process,
but too often would ignore the
daily requirements which make
it possible.
Studying daily assignments often
seems "mickey" or just busy-work.

The routine of five courses, three
times a week, requiring two hours
out of class for every hour in, can
easily conceal any real learning.
Because we let ourselves feel
that we are in a rut, we become
more and more bogged down
with the trivia, the details to be
remembered for quizzes, and the
mechanics of learning.
These routines, however, are
essential to the development of a
discipline that allows the real ex-
citement of learning to reveal it-
self.

We all know the feeling of
wasting a class period because
we were unprepared, unable to
participate, even silently, in the
process of communication.

Many seniors in Independent
Study find the freedom from daily
assignment rather overwhelming,
and, after several weeks of trying
to set up a discipline for them-

selves, rather wish that they had
course assignments.

It straightens out, of course, but
only because of the pattern of
daily work that has been estab-
lished. Without this framework,
the exhiliration of the discovery of
meaning cannot come.

Preparation is not the whole
story, however. A mysterious
kind of communication must be
set up between a professor, a
student and the material at
hand.

The sudden or gradual realiza-
tion that there is a meaningful
purpose in all of your seemingly
unrelated courses, that each has
something to do with who you are,
that something greater than each
has grown ou1 of the combination,
is a sign that the real "dialogue,"
the commiuii cation of academic
enthusiasm, has been established.
Few of us find it completely
in cur first two years, but as we
do, the process of education can
be seen far differently.
The drudgery never disappears,
for it is an essential part of the
stimulation, but it takes its right-
ful place as the framework on
which we can build our education.

Everyone is aware that Agnes
Scott has been blessed with an
ingenious faculty, a fact that be-
come more apparent when our pro-
fessors very modestly expose some
of their "extra-curricular" pursuits.

In the Department of History
and Political Science, Walter B.
Posey is in the process of prepar-
ing a third edition for his study of
religion in the Transapalachian
South.

Mr. Posey has already published
three books in this series, "The

of Methodism in the old South-
west", and "The Presbyterian

Spanish Club Reveals
Fall Quarter Program

Summer opportunities t o

Sue Roberts gave an account of
family life in the Basque region
of northern Spain where she lived
last summer. Cookie Johnson told
about Mexican customs and Mexi-
can boys which she encountered
in summer school in Monterey,
Mexico.

Winter quarter the Spanish Club
plans to hold one afternoon meet-
ing and one meeting at which they
will be hosts to Spanish-speaking
people from all over Atlanta.

Spring quarter's agenda includes
one afternoon meeting also and a
"paseo" or picnic with Latin
American students from Georgia

Church in the Old Southwest."

These earlier works include
stories primarily about the Metho-
dists, Baptist, and Presbyterians,
and the book he is currently pre-
paring wil be a similar compila-
tion of stories; only this time they
will deal with the Episcopalians, the
Catholics, and the Church of
Christ before the Civil war.

William G. Cornelius is making a
deep study of politics in the South ;
he will probably entitle his book
"Changing Southern Politics."

As his study mainly concerns the
urban areas, where changes in
political attitudes have been most
noticeable, Mr. Cornelius has
traveled to every city in the South
of 100,000 or more to gather data
on the voting patterns in urban
precincts.

Jack L. Nelson, of the English
Department, is writing a critical
study of the poet. Walter Savage
Lander for his doctoral dissertation
at Harvard. He expects to finish
sometime next year.

The biologists in Campbell are
also carrying on extensive re-
search.

S. L. Doerpinghaus has received
a National Science Foundation
Grant to continue the research he
began at U.N.C. last summer.

The grant will enable him to buy
the equipment needed to study the
physical properties of herbicides
(for all non- or ex-biologists: these
are plant poisons widely used to
kill weeds.).

Incidentally, (the equipment Mr.
Doerpinghaus buys will be a perm-
anent addition to the Agnes Scott
laboratories.

There are about four research
projects on Fred K. Parrish's zoo-
logical agenda, and they are all
concerned with invertebrates: he
just happens to like "critters."

One of his projects is a study

of the "relationship between black
field crickets and the protozoan
parasite that lives in her guts."

With the help of Martha Griffith,
Mr. Parrish is also using tracer
quantities of radioactive isotopes
to study calcium metabolism in
paleomonetes (transparent "ghost
shrimp" that live in fresh water.)

Rep Council Chooses
New Title For News

Three names for the Agnes Scott

News were selected by Representa-
tive Council Tuesday, Oct. 22, to
be sent to the administrative com-
mittee for approval and then to
the student body for selection.

Those which were chosen includ-
ed The Profile, The Ascott, The
Panorama, and The Monitor.

If the entire list is approved by
the faculty committee composed
of President Wallace Alston, Dean
of Students Carrie Scandrett, Dean
of the Faculty C. Benton Kline,
Registrar and Dean of Admissions
Laura Steele, and faculty mem-
bers Miss Julia Gary and John
Tumblin Jr., the student body will
then vote to select one.

Once the selection is made the
student body will have a choice
of keeping the present name of
the Agnes Scott News or changing
it to the newly select ea name.

The college music department
will present a program of organ
music by Raymond Martin, Friday
at 8 p.m. in Gaines Chapel.

Martin is associate professor of
music. He has attended the Judl-
liard School of Music and Union
Theological Seminary.

The recital is free and open to
the public.

Selections will include Handel's
"Organ Concerto II in B flat,"
three chorale preludes to Martin
Luther's "Ein f est en Burg ist
unser Gott," and Bach's "Prelude
and Fugue in C."

Martin will also play Cesar
Franek's "Grand Piece Symphoni-
que," Wyton's "Dithyramb," Lan-
glais' "Chant de Paix," and "Toc-
cata" by Leo Sowerby.

CA Project To Aid
Potential Dropouts

Christian Association is planning
a new project through which Agnes
Scott students will be able to tutor
children who need help with their
school work.

Working through the 'two settle-
ment houses sponsored by the Wes-
ley Foundation of the Methodist
Church, students will help children
in grades four through seven who
are doing poorly in 'their school-
work.

These children are the potential
dropouts of the Atlanta area.

Together with the teachers of
these children, Scotties will not
only provide actual help but will
also inspire the children to con-
tinue in school.

Although the program will not
start until after Christmas, there
will be several compulsory activi-
ties to prepare helpers.

Prospective tutors must visit the
center where they will work at
least once, and talk to the teachers
of their particular students.

Those working at the Negro
settlement house must also attend
an open house at the Negro ele-
mentary school on Nov. 17.

Myth Of An Image

"Oh, don't let that get in the newspapers, it might destroy
our image/'

This statement has been heard on campus too many times
recently.

No matter what a particular student is attempting to do
to improve relations between peoples, or improve conditions
on this campus or just to air gripes which she has, inevitably
in her course she is met with this statement.

Surprisingly enough, the statement which is indicative of
faculty admonitions on other campuses is heard at Agnes
Scott not from the administration but from students them-
selves.

Everyone seems to be overly conscious of the image
which the college presents to the often talked about, cliched
"outside world."

The college itself has employed two people whose job it is
to present the college to various organizations in the Atlanta
area and other cities in the United States.

We do not mean to say that an image of the college is to be
taken lightly but we think that students here should not try
to hide the fact that there are problems on campus and that
people here are concerned about them.

Besides, one can never tell what reaction will occur.

Recent publicity which appeared to be relatively harmless
brought definite repurcussions, while that which worried
many students received favorable rather than derogatory
comments.

Why can't we be open, then, in our statements? Responsi-
bility of presenting a fair view rests heavily on our shoulders.

But must we hush up all that needs improvement in
order to maintain an image which, although it may be
sterling, is false?

Nagy Presents Opinions

Editor

But, Officer, I /'

The efficiency of libraries should never be de-emphasized.

With a collection of thousands of books, a college library,
must keep account of each of these books in order to fulfill
its function in a college community.

There must be a set of rules with effective consequences
for their infraction.

Without a good library, a college is nothing.

Do you not think, though, there can be room for a bit of
soft-heartedness? Would this really decease the efficiency of
a respectable library such as Agnes Scott's? Would it really
tend to cause an almost flagrant violation of the rules?

For instance, the library places >a 10 cent an hour fine on
each overdue reserve book. This, although most of us clutch
our pennies pretty tightly, is not too unreasonable.
What is unreasonable is a case I heard of recently.

A student came rushing into the library at 3:35 a.m., having
overslept until 8:20. (Not a proud admission, but, neverthe-
less . . .)

The fine was 40 cents for her two books. You see, this girl,
in her rush to get to her 8:30 class, had merely dressed and
grabbed her books. She had forgotten her money, purse, etc.!
(Is that conceivable, Scotties?)

Can you wonder why she did not take the librarian's sug-
gestion* of looking for a friend from whom she could borrow
40 cents 0 Can you imagine her feelings of hostility, or her pro-
fessor's feelings as she came into class 11 minutes late?
Eight-thirty is early in the morning for soft-heartedness
and "understanding/' and a library must have regulations,
but, really, is such a rigid adherence to them as shown in
this case reasonable?

Considering the limited funds of some students, could not a
fairer penalty be applied?

For instance, could not some sort of call-down system be
used, at least for the first half-hour or less?

Money is precious: hence, fines are effective penalties.
But such a strict penalty and regulation, as indicated by
this case, is unnecessarily hard-hearted.

South's Image
Denotes Spirit
Not Land Unity

What connotations does "the
South" bring to your mind?

Most likely white columns and
mint juleps. But to some it has an
entirely different meaning.

The South to them is poverty,
bigotry, and fear. Herein lies the
heart of the question . . . just
what is the South?
There are some things that it
definitely is not.

It is not a single region easily
discernable from the rest of the
country. A glance at a topographi-
cal map will dispel this notion
quickly enough.

All Southerners are not the same.
Only 49 per cent of the Negroes in
the United States live in the South.
(Actually over one fourth live in
ten cities, only two of which,
Houston and New Orleans, are in
the South.)

Although there is a somewhat
high degree of homogeneity, that
being White Anglo-Saxon Protest-
ant, there are significant enclaves
of Slavic, Italian, French, and
Tu tonic peoples.

No, the borders of the old
Confederacy cannot define the
South either. What would you
do with Southern Indiana once
known as "little Dixie"?
The South is not one economic
unit. Various regions display dis-
tinctly different industrial and
agrarian pursuits.

And perhaps we are seeing the
dissolution of the politically "solid
><ni!h" if the Presidential elections
since 1952 are any indication.
The South's oneness is more
conceptual than factual.
The most distinctive characteris-
tic of the South is its history.

Southerners have known poverty
frustration, failure, and defeat
Theirs 'has often been a life quite
apart from the "American Dream."
There is here a legacy of con-
fusion and suffering outside of
America's gospel of progress and
optimism.
We have shown that the element
which unifies the South is not an
insurmountable physical thing, but
rather a heritage and an idea.

We have to a great extent creat-
ed the South in our minds.

And because it Is we who have
created it. it is we who are free
to refashion and i*ecreate it. We are
Southerners t>ecause we think we
are and because we love to be.

This very knowledge will be the
force which will enable us to wield
a new South out of *he turmoil.
Where there has been sorrow
there can be greatness as long
as men meet the challenge.

On the seventh anniversary of
the Hungarian Revolution. Agnes
Scott students were again present-
ed with comments concerning that
country's abortive attempt at oust-
ing communism, this time spoken
by t he former prime minister of
the country, Ferenc Nagy.

Speaking formally on campus
four times and informally to this
reporter and numerous other in-
terested persons throughout his
two-day visit, Nagy presented a
rather idealized conception of pres-
ent-day democracy and its power
in the U.S. - U.S.S.R. struggle for
the emerging countries of the
world.

Nagy spoke with a wealth of
political experience behind him and
with convictions stemming from his
personal experiences with the Com-
munist takeover in his former
homeland.

Personal Experiences

In 1946 he was in Switzerland for
a rest when the Communists in-
formed him that he would have to
resign or never see his four-year-
old son again.

This Tuesday he was scheduled
to be re-uniited with his 86-year-
old father for the first time in 16
years. His father has just received
permission to leave the country of
Hungary where he has lived his en-
tire life.

Prime Minister under the spon-
sorship of a peasants' party which
Nagy termed the Independent
Small Landholders Party, he spon-
sored a land reform program dur-
ing his administration.

Agriculture

His interest in agricultural pro-
grams of the Communists in his
own country and other satellites
was evident.

He said, for instance, that al-
though only 13.4 per cent of the
arable land in Hungary composes
private peasant lots, agricultural
products from this independently
cultivated land make up a majority
of the entire agricultural output
of Hungary at the present time.

Although numerous recent re-
ports coming from the country and
published in magazines here indi-
ate conditions are improving, Nagy
says that the agricultural and
economic programs of the Commu-
nists are definitely in trouble as is
evidenced by the move of Russia
and Hungary to obtain wheat from
the United States.

Wheat Deal

This move, he said, is simply a
move for the Russians to gain time
to formulate a new program to the
United States. Not too long ago,
Nagy stated in an interview, the

grain

Russians had bushels of
stored for the war effort.

They have definitely not used up
thus supply. By giving the U.S.S.R.
aid. the United States is simply
helpi ng the Russian war effort.

Red China-Russia

When questioned about the Sino-
Russian split, the ex-prime minister
who now resides in Virginia stated
that the split was not an ideological
one but is based on the fight be-
tween two major world powers,
both seeking domination.

It has political and economic
implications internally, not ideo-
logically.

Appealing for democracy to get
on the offensive in Eastern Europe.
Nagy was later questioned on speci-
fic methods which the United
j States and other countries could
I use to gain the offensive.

Revolution

Most of the discussions, however,
1 dealt with the abortive revolution
in 1956 which both Nagy and a
former Hungarian living in At-
lanta. Francis Banffy felt was com-
pletely spontaneous.

Although reports in the United
States intimated that various radio
organizations promised the Hun-
garians during their revolt that
the U.S. would give aid to the
country, the radios in fact, both
men said, only tried to keep the
spirit of freedom alive at the time.
Nagy admitted, however*, that some
Hungarians interpreted the state-
ments as assurances of aid which
never came.

The experience has left many
Hungarians bitter, Nagy, said, and
at present there is not, as far as
he knows, any underground or-
ganization for freedom operating
in the country.

When questioned about his asso-
ciation with the revolution Nagy
said only that he talked with per-
sons conected with the government
by telephone at one time and was
approached by telegram by the
revolutionary government to appeal
to the United States, suggesting
that they introduce a proposal in
the United Nations to send ob-
servers to Hungary. This proposal
was not acted upon.

During his stay, the former
Prime Minister spoke almost dis-
passionately in tone about the
Hungary lie once knew and the
country as it now exists under Com-
munist domination, but his words
were often so powerfully chosen
that many of those who heard him
will probably long remember his
firm belief in the "highest form of
political life in a country" Demo-
cracy.

New Column

A new column appears in this issue of the Aggies Scott
News.

Because of the local and national events during the past
few months and because of events which promise to occur
during the next few years in the field of civil rights and race
relations, we feel that the student body should be made aware
of various organizations and their purposes in this contro-
versial field.

This column is not designed to advocate any particular
action or to take any particular stand. It will be as objective
as is possible in such a field.

We simply feel that women liberally educated should be
informed about organizations which today are shaping the
events of the future. NJB.

Imprisoned by the ogre Study, I
chanced last Friday to find within
myself a compulsion to express my
aesthetic appreciation of the ac-
tivity ensuing on 'the lawn beneath
my fifth-floor hermitage.

Despite the fact that my position
on this page is not dependent upon
my concern for the athletic mani-
festations of our lives here, I wish
to take this occasion to comment
upon some of the hitherto unrec-
ognized aspects of hockey.

Just as in dance the body is
used to express the depths of
the human spirit, so upon the
hockey field the vigorous move-
ments of the human form play
out the rituals of fury, antag-
onism, and thwarted ambition.

Upon the verdant sward, the
kaleidoscopic patterns of blue, gold,
crimson, and green shift magically
in the pensive glory of Phoebus's
declining rays.

The modulations of the combat-
ants are accompanied by inytnrnic
chanting of the assemblage punc-
tuated by staccato shrieks of bliss
or dark despair.

Within the dramatic con-
struct of the action, strife,
anguish, ecstasy, horror, success
and failure of the protagonist
and antagonist provide catharsis

of the pity and terror of the
academic life.

Myth and image here combine in
all the ancient irony of elemental
combat, sign of complex ambiguity.

Viewing this spectacle of oppos-
ing forces in the context of our
enriched environment we find the
elements of the experience fused
into an identity far greater than
the mere sum of the parts.

(Which all goes to show that
you can find academic justifica-
tion for going to the hockey
game as an imaginative experi-
ence- You can see that it lured
me from my studying.)

In the Netherlands students are
completely on their own.

There are no such things as
dorms, and all lecture attendance
is purely voluntary.

This is one of the major differ-
ences between Agnes Scott and
the Dutch University that Hja van
der Wal, special student from the
Hague, Netherlands, might have
attended.

Ilja arrived in New York on
August 21. Although she has
traveled in Switzerland, France,
Germany, and Italy, this was her
first visit to the United States.

Many people worked together to
make her trip possible. Ilja's spon-
sor was the Institute of Interna-
tional Education, and she received
both a Fulbright travel grant and
a scholarship from Agnes Scott.

juniors.

It is part of the "Triumvirate" of
British universities along with
Oxford and Cambridge, in that
these three schools recognize de-
grees only from each other.

Trinity College Dublin (TCD)
numbers about three thousand
students. Most of the students are
English since TCD is a Protestant
school and Ireland is a Catholic
country.

The classes are conducted strict-
ly on a lecture basis, with alternat-
ing periods of seven weeks of
classes and six weeks of vacation
until examinations are given in
June.

By HELEN MANN

Prior to coming to Atlanta, she
lived in a private home in Martins-
ville, Va., under ;the auspices of the
Experiment in International Liv-
ing.

After only two months, Ilja has
formed no fixed opinions about the
United States yet, but she definite-
ly likes it.

"Everything is bigger, wider
here," she says, and she thinks
"the hospitality is great".

The work here is just as hard or
harder than in a Dutch university,
for American students must pre-
pare written assignments.

Ilja did expect to be freer at a
university, but so far the rules
haven't bothered her.

The Dutch universities require
that a freshman begin to specialize
the first year, and as Ilja was not
sure of her major, she decided to
come to an American school for a
year.

"I like to see the United States
and I would like to find out what
I want to study," Ilja explained.

Harriet and Susan lived off-
campus with a district judge and
his family.

Because Justice Reddin is Presi-
dent of PEN, Ireland's chief
literary society, Harriet and Susan
were able to meet some of the
literary figures of Ireland today.

During the vacation periods
Harriet and Susan traveled to Lon-
don in September, and to Germany,
Rome, Florence, and Vicenza in
December.

In the spring they lived in
Paris for a month, and then travel-
ed to Nice and "gloriously sunny"
Monaco.

After exams, these enterprising
students spent a month seeing the
England that Cook's Tours never
quite capture.

"In Ireland there is none of the
f renz ied R us h - Worry- Worry-Rush
that exists in America", Harriet
commented.

"The people enjoy life for what
it offers naturally; they don't feel
compelled to go to cocktail parties
when they could take a walk, or
to organize club meetings when
they could just sit down and talk
congenially."

Susan said it was quite diffi-
cult "to rejoin the organized pur-
poseless race" called the American
way of life. "The Irish are so
friendly, polite and relaxed.
They take time to enjoy life."

Needless to say, Harriet and
Susan certainly did.

Home, ASC

Ilja van der Wal

She is taking English 101, psy-
chology, sociology, and advanced
inorganic chemistry.

Ilja has not formed any definite
opinion on American males, either.

She feels more comfortable with
boys a few years older than
she, but really thinks she hasn't
met enough boys to judge.

Uja -thinks that the American
family is less of a unit than the
average Dutch family and that the
discipline is less strict in the
States. Then too, the Dutch child
is taught to be more economical
with his belongings.

One of her pet peeves is the
amount of grumbling that goes
on here about the cafeteria food. In
Holland no child leaves his plate
full, and Ilja thinks the food here
is remarkably good.

There is less single dating in
the Netherlands; the young people
go out more in small groups.

But despite these outward dif-
ferences, Ilja has found that the
truth of the old saying has been
proved again.

As she says, ' People are every-
where the same."

Athletic Conference Reaffirms
Academic Pursuit, Moderation

By

MARTHA

MONTMEAT

Last Friday there were two
hockey games: the seniors beat
the freshmen 3-0, and the out-
come of that other game was 2-1.

Tuesday, November 5, there will
be a swimming meet in our gym-
nasium be sure 1o attend this,
whether or not it's at all possible.
The Tennis Club has gotten
underway and matches will be-
gin soon.
All kinds of information can be
found posted in the mailroom, for
example, the ranking and sched-
uling of matches.

As it stands now Alice Davidson
is number one with Judy Ahrano
as a close second.

Last Friday also, following the
hockey games, a group from
Agnes Scott more specifically
from the Athletic Board at-
tended the athletic retreat at
Young Harris College.
Those attending were Mary Mac
Mitchell, president, Brenda Brooks,
person in charge of the point sys-
tem and trophies, Betsy Hamner,
treasurer, and Miss Kate Mc-
Kemie, driver.

Agnes Scott can at times appear
"stuffy" to outsiders and I'm
afraid that retreat was one of
those times.

On the other hand, though,
one always has to be a bit wary
of these conferences, where, it
seems, Kooks, Communists, Uni-
versity types and what have you
invariably turn up.
With all this in mind, however,
interesting customs in the daily
lives of the other schools repre-
sented can be observed (always
from a distance, of course) and by
so doing, it was learned that some
schools had quite a thing going
with jacks and pick-up sticks
tournaments.

Needless to saiy the question is
bound to arise as to why we don't
offer this sort of thing.

Well, all I can say is that it
probably has something to do
with our complete devotion to
academic pursuits, besides the
fact that we do not offer a
major in Physical Education.
Thus, it doesn't seem as though
this sort of ridiculous frivolity
would fit neatly into the campus
community.

Besides, one has to be always on
guard about going overboard, par-
ticularly on a campus, since extre-
mism seems to be one of those

New Physics Professor
Praises School s Spirit

By SALLY POCKEL

The new instructor in the Agnes
Scott physics department this year
is Philip B. Reinhart.

Mr. Reinhart was born in Phil-
adelphia, Pa. He has also lived in
both Fairfield and New Canaan,
Conn.

Mr. Reinhart received his sec-
ondary education at the Taft
School for Boys and later received
his B.A. and M.A. from Yale Uni-
versity.

While working on his Masters
Degree Mr. Reinhart worked as a
lab instructor.

He plans 'to begin work next
year on his Ph.D. but is still un-
decided as to where he will do
this.

Mr. Reinhart, a yankee.
says Southerners are just "great,"
and as for Agnes Scotot, Mr. Rein-
hart ttanks that relatively speak-
ing the Agnes Scott students have
an abundance of enthusiasm and
spirit.

The Physics Department has
been a comparatively small de-
partment at Agnes Scott.

College To Join Exchange
With Universities En India

Agnes Scott is among 13 colleges
for women which are planning an
Indian exchange within the near
future.

The exchange will involve send-
ing about six to eight faculty mem-
bers from the various colleges to
institutions in India in exchange
for Indian professors who wiH
teach on 'the campuses of the U. S.
various colleges.

Each professor will stay a year
in India, observing the various
differences in culture and teaching
methods while serving as instruc-
tor in his individual field. At Agnes
Scott the program will come under
the program of sabbatical leaves
for professors.

Each professor will volunteer for
the trip which will be financed
partly from a $356,400 grant in
rupees received from the State De-
partment and partly from money
from the college. At present plans

are underway to obtain ( money
from a national foundation to fin-
ance some of the cost of the pro-
gram.

Professors in both countries will
be selected on the basis of the needs
of the specific institutions in par-
ticular fields.

In addition, plans are underway
to send three or four adniinisitra-
tors to India in exchange for the
same number from India to the
United States in order that they
may study the adminis/trative struc-
ture in the respective countries for
six weeks.

In announcing the exchange,
President Wallace M. Alston com-
mented that this was a step which
Agnes Scott had long been desiring
in order that members of the
college might increase their knowl-
edge of Eastern culture. He ex-
pressed the hope that a similar ex-
change may sometime in the f uture

be inaugurated with colleges in
Latin America.

Dr. Elizabeth Lam, executive
associate of the committee on In-
ternational Exchange of Persons
with the Fulbright program, has
been employed by the group of
colleges as program administrator
on a part -time basis.

The faculty exchanges are cur-
rently planned to begin during the
forthcoming school year.

Schools participating in the pro-

Letters To The Editor

To The Editor:

I am so tired of hearing indig-
nant cries of how "the powers that
be" have invaded a person's sacred
sense of privacy in their dorm
searches.

No one has any right whatso-
ever to feel put upon by having to
leave the dorm so it can be
searched. Too many objects have
been "lost," and enough stolen,
for us to try to live as if Agnes
Scott does not have to face the
harsh realities of the "outside
world."

In answer to specific comments
I've heard so often, I would like
to use my common sense to sug-
gest reasons as to why everyone
has to leave the dorm and why the
objects of the searches are not dis-
closed.

1) Everyone was made to leave
in order to minimize the traffic in
the dorm, therefore, involving few-
er people in the searching. By its
nature, a search has to presume
an object, and, in the case of theft,
a guilty party. Except for the
criminal who "wants" to be caught,
(rare he is), given a chance, a thief
will always dispose of mcriminat-
ing evidence. How easy it would be
if a few minutes of warning were
given. For those who may ever
contemplate even a moment of
crime: your life will be harder
than most.

2 ) Few people were intentionally
told of the specific objects of the
search because what possible good
could such knowledge do? Perhaps
the campus could "keep an eye
out." Fine, but would not the per-

son who took each object also be
keeping an eye out? Two competi-
tors never reveal their strategy to
one another if their competition
is serious. Believe me. this one
is very serious.

I'm sure I have not heard all the
indignant cries,) or even the justi-
fied ones about the messy results
of the searches) or given all the
reasons, perhaps not even the bet-
ter ones. Still, I cannot see why
everyone could not see as much as
I . . . I've got no special 'story" or
the like. I repeat: no one should
feel put upon. Sure, so it may be
unpleasant to the more sensitive
souls, but . . . "Hope springs eter-
nal . . ." We can hope that one
day, somehow these cases can be
solved.

To the Editor:

Some reflections on the News
editorial, "Myth of an Image."
Agnes Scott College is almost
unique in that it does not have a
publicity office but a news service.

Image projection (that tinsel
cliche) is simply the business of
communicating what and who we
are our ideas, our conflicts, our
uncertainties, our actions, aims
and commitments of the heart, the
mind and the spirit.

One means of communications
is through the media, radio, tele-
vision, newspapers, news letters,
etc., the tools used by the college
news sendee, whose professional
concern is not how we look but
what we are.

Betsy H. Fancher

Timely Panacea

It seems rather ironic that this newspaper, the so-called
outlet for student opinion on this campus, seldom concerns
itself with the most important area of life here. This area
is (for those who are wondering), academics.

Most of us are content to attack the social policies, com-
pulsory Convocations and the like. Meanwhile, each year,
Sophomores struggle alone trying to choose a major and plan
a two-year schedule; upperclassmen take unrelated courses
to "fill in" the required number of hours; and slower students
wade through certain courses without outside tutoring be-
cause faculty members are too busy to help.

Because some people recognized these problems and the
need for solving them, the Student Curriculum Committee
was formed. The committee assumes that the majority of
students are concerned with the content and planning of
their college work.

The committee also believes that students can offer valu-
able insights on academic matters, first, because of their deep
involvement in the learning process, second, because of the
perspective gained from sitting in the lecture chair, and, third,
because of their awareness of shifts in contemporary inter-
ests (in other words, what was important to students twenty
year ago may not be interesting to them today).

At present the committee is concentrating on four areas

of Agnes Scott's academic program which cause confusion

and disappointment.

By winter quarter a tutorial program should be in effect.
Freshmen and Sophomores having trouble in English will be
tutored in that subject by English majors for a reasonable
fee. Aside from the monetary benefits, the upperclassmen
will have a chance to apply their knowledge to a practical
situation.

At the end of this quarter questionnaires will be distributed
concerning the content of courses. The suggestions will be
used for future reference.

Also, spring quarter should brine: an easier time for Soph-
omores. The committee hopes to provide opportunities for
those interested in certain fields to meet with the depart-
ments and some majors in order to become better informed
about their major requirements before definitely choosing
a field of study.
Finallv, the committee is working on the introduction of
a minor program for those students who wish to do more
work in a second field than is now required under the re-
lated hours program.

If all of these plans are eventually put into effect, many
of the academic head-aches of the school will be cured.
The Curriculum Committee deserves a round of applause
and (he cooperation of those for whom it is working. M.L.L

To the Editor:

This evening a search of Main
was conducted, in which all resi-
dents were ' requested" to leave
the dorm and not return until a
definite, after dinner hour.

I would like to ask those in
charge a few questions regarding
the rather heavy-handed procedure
in which I feel this search was
carried out.

I am not objecting to the aims
of the search, that is, in so far as
the inhabitants were allowed to
know them, but only to the
methods used.

If the whole dorm was under
suspicion of harboring "borrowed"
goods, as I presume it was from the
similarity between this search and
others of other years, and if by im-
plication all those living in the
dorm were likewise under sus-
picion, why were the suspects, or,
the inhabitants of Main, not allow-
ed to remain in their rooms while
the search was being conducted?

I feel that the type of search
which was made (and from the
looks of my room 1 it was a rather
thorough one) should properly have
been conducted in the presence
of the people into whose private
possessions you were prying. This
type of search, after all, constitutes
an invasion of privacy in a very
real sense, not only of physical
possessions but also of reserved
and therefore at least semi-private
dormitory space-and an invasion of
time.

I realize that one good reason for
this ejection of residents was to
spare feelings on all sides should
anything be found but were any-
thing to be found, the chance to ex-
plain then and there would be wel-
comed by the innocent and abhor-
red by the guilty, I am sure.

I challenge the authorities that
be for their use of such police-state
methods not only leaving the
Main residents in doubt as to the
specific nature of the search, but
also requiring an emptying of the

dorm for the search.

In a school which is theoretically
governed by an Honor Code, it
would seem to me that honesty
would only help the innocent, if
accused, and would leave a great
many innocent but non-accused
people a great deal less angry.

Molly Gehan

To the Editor:

Upon picking up my paper for
Wednesday, October 30, I was first
surprised, then disgusted, to find
the complete waste and misuse of
one particular column.

I have always considered "Tem-
po" an important feature in the
News, a feature that should be of
meaning and interest in its em-
bodiment of current student
thought.

All partiality excluded, the
hockey game of October 25 was
one of the best I have seen at Ag-
nes Scott.

Surely it does not deserve such
a ludicrous write-up by one whose
concern has nothing to do with
"the athletic manifestations of our
lives here."

Scott's athletic activities do not
need such "justification" as this
article presents.

Cindy Coleman

Equitable Journalism?

During the weekend of October 17-18 three representatives
of the Agnes Scott News attended an ACP Conference in

New York City.

One of the lectures scheduled was a panel discussion by
several prominent directors of Time, Life Corporation.
Despite the early hour a mass of collegians with pencils
poised in hand waited to record expected advice about un-
biased reporting.

Nobody needed any morning coffee after hearing what
these con-men had to say; their discussion immediately
gravitated to a statement not only about Time's "unique"
mission in the communications network, but also about the
policies any news magazine should pursue.

The panelists explicitly stated that Time magazine in-
tentionally writes for an "enlightened'' public, the so-called
intelligentsia.

But, ironically, without admitting any contradiction to
their first statement, they also made clear its felt obligation
is to draw inferences from the news events for an allegedly
intelligent public.

The fact that Time feels this "need" to interpret the news
implies that maybe it doesn't think the public is so intelligent
after all.

The question is: Does a publication supposedly committed
to a reliable reporting of the news have the right to draw
subtle and often slanted implications from current events?

Undeniably, the flippant language (and vivid descriptions
in many of Time's articles are appealing. That may well be
why so many people subscribe to it because its writers
make the "news" interesting.

But, intellectually appealing editorial comments and
accurate news are not the same thing, and often the average
reader in search of a ready news summary fails to distinguish
between fact and the opinion of this select group of men.

For instance, in its report on the coup d'etat in South
Vietnam Time makes a little mention, as does the New
York Times, of how the generals in South Vietnam
planned and executed the overthrow.

Instead, Time consistently projects the idea that the U. S.
had the decisive role in Vietnam's coup.

U. S. policy has in the past favored a change in the gov-
ernment of South Vietnam, if not an actual abolition of the
Diem regime. Admittedly we have expressed our disapproval
of Buddhist suppression by reducing foreign aid and by
applying economic pressure, such <as the suspension of an
import program.

Time does not omit these facts in its Nov. 8, 1963, issue,
and emphatically states that "All this could, of course, be
only an invitation to overthrow." (If that doesn't sound
like an editorial comment, I don't know what does.)

The administration officials disclaim any responsibility for
the changes in South Vietnam. But, how does one resolve
this assertion of authority with Time's strong implication
that the U. S. through its policies and interests in Vietnam
practically incited the coup?

Whether or not Time's inference is true remains indefinite,
but it is very likely that many readers at this moment are
believing that the U. S. was an active protagonist in the
Vietnamese coup.

Maybe such a suggestion by a popular magazine doesn't
rattle too many people, but it does indicate the manner in
which Time succeeds in guiding public opinion by omitting
or shaping the facts about a particular subject.

With a widely growing circulation it may be that Time
will find itself in an even stronger position to mold public
opinion. L.R.H.

Tech Smears Scott Girls;
Enraged Student Protests

A recent article by Susan Keith-
Lucas discussing a Tech man's view
of Agnes Scott girls seems to have
aroused little interest on our camp-
us.

But students may be surprised
to discover that it was read,
thought about and acted upon by
staff members of the Georgia Tech
newspaper, the Technique.

The Agnes Scott girl has been
the topic of two Technique articles
in the past two weeks, and the
things being said about her may
amaze and infuriate her.

The first step of the Tech staff
was to send at reporter out to the
Hub to interview the Scott girls.
His intent was Ifao examine the
Tech-man image on our campus.

But the result was, rather, his
discovery of certain unfavorable
traits among those of our students
whom he interviewed. To get
things off to a bad start, everyone
ignored him when he entered the
Hub.

He approached a table where
four girls were thinking not about
boys, and not even about profs,
but about the bridge hand that
they were playing. (These girls
were not visitors to the campus;
they were real live Scott girls.)

When the reporter attempted to
talk to the girls, ithey continued
to play bridge and exhibited, in

By DIANE PULIGNANO

general, a cold and rude nature.

They did not like Tech men, as
their actions and answers to the
reporter indicated, and, conse-
quently, he did not like us.

Walton Beacham of the Tech-
nique speaks of the incident as a
"harrowing experience." And the
whole of the harrowing experience
was printed and circulated to thou-
sands of people.

However humorously the story
is presented, one cannot overlook
the seriousness of what is being
said.

One may argue that the Hub is
not what it used to be since the
opening of the study smokers and
therefore no characteristic group
can be found there, that the Hub
never has had and never will have
a hostess at the door to greet and
escort visitors, and that "Mother
told me never to speak to strang-
ers."

But the story merits our atten-
tion because it is a first-hand im-
pression. Perhaps those Scott girls
involved will make themselves
known and expose another, more
favorable side to the story.

It would certainly console many
of us.

The second article, entitled
"Scott ies Wreck Techmen . .
But Oh Those Emory Chicks" ap-

peared in .the Nov. 8 issue of the
Technique.

The first reaction of the Scott
girls towards it will undoubtedly be
wrath such as Achilles never
dreamed of.

An Emory girl told Beacham,
"Agnes Scott is just a sophisticated
campus with a bunch of pseudo
society girls. They try to create
a false image of themselves."

Obviously she has never set foot
in the Hub. One would venture to
say that she has not set foot on
this campus. Considering her re-
marks, we say to her, "Show me
one. Just show me one."

And if she does, that is. after all,
just one, isn't it, and not "a
bunch" and certainly not all?

Other remarks show us what
kind of critic we are dealing with.
" . . . they would not date the
younger generation because society
tends to frown upon the idea."
Who's worried about society?

'The first thing I notice about a
man's appearance is his bod." "I
just like to make out with anyone."
Speaking of Emory men, "Even on
weekends the pseudo sophisticates
sip tea and talk Zen Buddhism.

The Agnes Scott girl is not ex-
pected to bother to defend herself
against rash and unfair critics, but
she should at all times be aware of
what is being said about her.

Fine Arts Council Sponsors
Art Auction Of Student Work

The Agnes Scott Fine Arts Coun-
cil will sponsor an art auction of
student work on Wednesday, Dec.
4.

The paintings will be displayed
on Dec. 3-4 in the Rebekah Re-
ception Room.

The Council hopes to obtain
capital for their projects through
this auction. Students are urged to
attend.

The Arts Council plans grad-
ually to replace the prints in the
lobby of Presser with student
work. They will commission Agnes
Scott students for this job.

The Council will also commis-
sion students to write poems, short
stories, and one act plays. A poem
written by an Agnes Scott student
will be read and discussed with the
student body in January.

Hub-bub

Democracy Reigns
For ASC Proletariat

While reclining in my lonely
comer of the Hub, " independently"
studying the possible variations of
a baker's dozen number of cards.
I was suddenly distracted from my
pursuit of knowledge by the en-
trance of four strangely-clad
figures.

These apparition -like creatures
were chanting a mournful lay, be-
wailing the existence of certain
"gnomic" elements inhabiting their
environment.

The shadows these figures cast
were poignantly reminiscent of the
haunting strains of the "Funeral
March." capturing in their solem-
nity of movement and dignity of
stance the minor essence of that
great piece of music.

Oh, the philosophic bent of
these Gnomians and Anti-Gno-
mians!

Naturally the panorama which
passed before my enraptured eyes
obliterated all else from my per-
ception, and my independent medi-
tations were, for the moment, for-
gotten.

However. I do not regret 1his
loss when I think of the invalu-
able gains I received from view-
ing this procession.

I was caught up in their rhym- j
thic movements, and quite car- i
ried away with the remarkable I
resemblance they had to figures !

in the Classical Ballet.

Isn't it wonderful how, wheth-
er on the Field Reserved for
Athletic Pursuits or in the
Building for the Union of the
Community, one may relate
one's academic pursuits to one's
more fanciful artistic leanings?
All this without Independent

Study, too!

However, to show that this
school "cares" for its populace
even if they do not study "inde-
pendently," it. opens its arms to
welcome even the dullest of aca-
demic pursuers.

Ah, Democracy.

And. speaking of something open
to all, an excellent example of this
is that haven commonly referred
to as the Agnes Scott Bookstore.

It is, in this humble columnist's
opinion, the best place on campus
in which to while away time.

(That is, unless you prefer
the fifth floor of the library, ad-
miring the Hockey Field).

(Yes, Mrs. Ray. it is your turn!)

Well, back I creep to my soli-
tary carrel in the Hub. hoping that
more opportunities may arise
when I can relate Bridge to Phy-
sical Education.

Whaf s the difference between
cards and jacks except in the
size of the objects of play?

Signing Of Book, Discussions Highlight
Week Of Honor Emphasis Program

This week, Nov. 11-15, is the
first part of the 1963-64 Honor
Emphasis Program.

The fall portion is designed to
make new students more aware of
the Agnes Scott Honor System.

This morning, Dr. Alston and
Jean McCurdy, chairman of the
Honor Emphisis Committee, led a
short convocation. It dealt with
why we have an Honor Book and
why sign it.

After they spoke, all students
who had not signed the book and
who felt ready to do so, had the
opportunity to sign it.

This service was the climax of
the fall program, following the
Hub Discussion and the handbook

classes.

This year, the Honor Book will
be in Presser Lobby until Friday
afternoon, giving individuals time
to think about the meaning of

By JINNA CLARK

honor and the Honor System.

This is a compromise between
the compulsory signing and signing
it in the Library without cere-
mony.

Monday night at 9:30 p.m. Anne
Foster and Eleanor Lee led a Hub
Discussion entitled "Are You
Afraid to be Honest?" All students
were invited to come and partici-
pate.

Tuesday new students attended
compulsory handbook classes.
These were to explain the honor
system and the Honor Book. Ques-
tions raised by the Hub Discussions
were considered.

The Honor Emphasis committee
is composed of Margaret Whitton
and Mae Hall, seniors, junior Jere
Keenan, sophomores Bebty Bridge-
forth and Wendy Williams, and
freshmen, Susan Dorm and Deidre
La Pin.

Mary Jo Winterle is responsible
for the Honor Emphasis signs
placed around campus.

During winter quarter, the com-
mittee has planned hall discussions
at the end of the development cam-
paign week.

These will deal with the general
theme of the campaign, a time
of looking back 75 years and
forward 25, and seeing our role
in this context.

This will include, said Jean Mc-
Curdy, "looking at the academic
institution as one which necces-
sarily must be founded on honor-
able relationships.

The committee will select who
will lead these winter discussions.
Any suggestions for such people
will be welcomed by the Honor
Emphasis Committee.

HUB DISCISSION A discussion as part of the fall quarter pro-
gram of Honor Emphasis lasted until late Monday night.

Blackfriars will present a series of
five mystery plays.

The general title of these plays
is 'The Darkness and the Light".

The mystery play originated in
Chaucer's day in small communi-
ties and towns throughout Europe.

A play was usually presented on
a holiday in an outdoor theater,
and it sometimes lasted for an en-
tire day or more.

The mystery plays were based on
the Bible and carried the theme of
salvation. They told the story of
man from his beginning, to his fall
and his eventual salvation through
good deeds and God's mercy.

The five plays to be presented by
Blackfriars are 4 The Creation of
the Heavenly Beings: the Fall of
Lucifer." "'Creation of Man." "The
Garden of Eden", "The Fall of

Man" and "Everyman".

The dance group will play an
important role in this production.
They will portray the heavenly
beings, the devils, humanity and
will finally welcome man into
heaven. Miss Kay Osburn will be
in charge of the choreography.

Foreign Student Notes Differences
Between Israeli, American Schools

"It's different!"

Doris El-Tawil, a special-student
junior from Israel finds quite a
few things different at Agnes
Scott; not the least of which is
the work: "'When I told my friends
I was going to a college in the
States, they told me that I would
have no trouble whatever, after
going to a Hebrew University.

"I have never studied this hard!
The work isn't really that much
harder, but the assignments seem
to take more time.

"I enjoy most of my courses
very much they're very inter-
esting and challenging.

"There is much more concen-
trated study here than at the
Hebrew University; there we have
a much greater choice among
requisite courses.

"I had a little trouble at the
beginning understanding my pro-
fessors accents, but they've all
been very helpful."

How does Doris use her spare
time?

"Ha! I heard that a man came
last year and counted up how
many hours were left over after
classes, studying, sleep, etc.

"I would very much like to
know where he put them after he
found them.

By KAREN AUSTIN

"When I have some extra time,
I write letters, go to international
students' meetings, or watch a
little television those commer-
cials are real brain -washers.

"The girls here are very friendly
more so than they were at the
Hebrew University.

"I think it may be because it's
so much smaller.

"Everyone seems to know every-
one else, and there's much more
individual attention here.

"There are so many rules here.
At home there are no rules or
regulations whatsoever.

"I like the attention, but I think
by the time you go to college you
should be able to decide some of
these things for yourself.

4 When I first heard about the
honor system, I though 'it will
never work.'

"It really does! I am so amazed
it really does!

"I have not dated a lot of boys
yet, but the American boys seem
not so independent or mature as
the boys in Israel.

' However, I have met really
quite a lot of very intelligent, very
interesting people. And everyone

is so much more hospitable than
I could have imagined!"

What does Doris think about the
food in the dining hall?

"Some of the dishes I have
never had before, so I ask a girl
what it is but sometimes no
one seems to know what it is.

"Most of it is really all right,
however. I really enjoy it.

"Some things here are much
cheaper than they are in Israel:
for example, we pay much more
for a dress or a sweater.

"But the people here seem to
think it's so necessary to have so
many clothes that by the time
they have as many clothes as they
think are 'enough,' they have spent
much, much more than we ever
would.

"I'm planning to be a psycholo-
gist, so I will finish college here,
and then get my MA either here
or in Israel. Then I hope to work
with some of the new communities
in the south of Israel.

"You know, at first I was really
homesick, but I was working so
hard that I didn't have time to
think about it.

"Now I feel very much at home.
I think it's wonderful!"

Professor At Seminary, Scott Views
Differences Between Bible Scholars

A visirting associate professor of
Bible this year is Charles B.
Cousar.

Orrgki&jly from Chattanooga,
Term., Mr. Cousar received his
secondary education at the Mc-
Cally Miliary Academy.

Air. Cousar received his B.A.
degree from Davidson College, and
his B.D. from Columbia Theologi-
cal Seminary.

After only two years of study at
Kong's College of the University
of Aberdeen in Aberdeen, Scotland,
he was awarded his Ph.D. His
specia] field is the New Testament,
Greek exegesis.

By SALLY POCKEL

A full time professor at the
Columbia Theological Seminary,
Mr. Cousar is helping to replace
Mr. Garber who is on leave this
year.

He is teaching Bible 201-D and
Bible 401, a seminar course for
Bible majors.

Mr. Cousar is in his fourth year
of teaching at the Seminary. He
was a ministerial assistamt at the
Decatur Presbyterian Church while
receiving his B.D. degree at the
Seminary.

Mr. and Mrs. Cousar are now
living on Missionary Avenue and

are the parents of two active boys
aged four and one.

Mr. Cousar finds Agnes Scott
students of "good calibre" al-
though they lack the technical
training of the Seminary students.

After an academic career that
has been almost completely mascu-
line he finds Agnes Scott a "pleas-
ant experience".

Mr. Cousar is planning a trip
to Europe this summer where he
will attend a meeting of the World
Presbyterian Alliance in Frank-
fort.

He will be one of about thirty-
five United States Presbyterian
representatives there.

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

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

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

AGNES SCOn COLLEGE

Founded 1889

An independent liberal arts college for women of highest rank
academically, located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

Doris El-Tawil takes a break
from her busy schedule to dis-
cuss her views on American

Smith Reads Area
Development Paper

The News welcomes all infor-
mation concerning activities of
faculty members' work within
their fields.

Miss Anna Greene Smith of the
sociology and economics depart-
ment will read a paper concerning
"Southern Rural Population and
the Area Development Admini-
stration" at the Southern Econom-
ic Association's meeting Nov. 15

association of some 300 econo-
mists and social scientists con-
cerned about social change in the
South. The entire program will
feature economic development in
the southern region with two
seminars in economic development
in Latin America and Asia.

Miss Smith's paper will deal
with the work of the area Devel-

neled over $10 million into Geor-
gia rural towns and is used by
private, local and state agencies
to develop industries.

Students'Organization
Co-Ordinates Program
To Improve Relations

By SARAH HODGES

I "If I am not for myself, tlien who

is for me?
If I am for myself alone, tlien wliat

am It
If not now, when?"

The student revolt was born in
a Woolsworth Dime Store in
Greensboro, North Carolina on
February 1, 1960, when four Negro
college students sat down aft an all-
white lunch counter. CORE,
NAACP, and SCLC all contributed
financially to the youth movement
which exploded on the country's
120 Negro campuses.

The Student Non-Violent Co-
ordinating Committee was formed
in April, 1960, when a group of
student sit-in leaders met to con-
sider some kind of organization
primarily for students. The co-
ordinating committee, composed of
one representative from each of
the southern states met regularly
in its Atlanta headquarters to ex-
change information, methods, non-
violent techniques, and to plan
joint projects.

With ithe advent of the freedom
rides SNCC's thinking began to
broaden to encompass direct action
protest aimed at segregation in
hospitals, libraries, theatres, em-
ployment, and housing. In 1961
voter registration and citizenship
classes became a major part of
SNCC's program.

Today, SNCC's membership
amounts to about one himdired
representatives from autonomous
protest groups. It has an executive
committee elected from the co-
ordinating committee membership,
a sJtaff, and volunteer workers. It
is financed by contributions from
such organizations as the Northern
Student Movement, NSA, CORE,
SCLC Field Foundation of Chicago,
and Friends of SNCC chapters on
Northern and Western university
campuses.

Violence, bloodshed and possible
death is the job description of a
SNCC field worker. And the re-
wards are few. It is difficult to
overcome the suspicion and fear of
the Negro community and to con-
vince them of the importance of
their vote. Progress is slow but
there is progress. These young stu-
dents are gaining the respect and
admiration of the Whites and
Negroes alike. They are Americans,
and they are willing to fight to se-
cure the freedom and privileges
due them.

Anyone interested in working
with the Atlanta Work Camp
Group on Saturdays should meet
in the Hub on Thursday, Nov. 14,
at 5 p.m. with Margaret Rodgers.

Colder Coaches Hockey Teams;
Sophomores Defeat Freshmen

By MARTHA MONTMEAT

There were two hockey games
last Friday. The sophomores beat
the freshmen. 4-0, and the juniors
beat the seniors, 6-0.

There will be two more hockey
games this Friday.

Tuesday night, Nov. 5, there
was a swimming meet. The
freshman team was relatively
large and well-organized and
took first place.

The sophomore team came in
second, in spite of their small
team. The senior class placed
third and the juniors were
fourth.

Records were broken and there
was a great deal of excitement
created from the spirit of class
rivalry.

As many of us already know,
Miss Calder, who plays with the
United States Field Hockey As-
sociation, visited Agnes Scott
last week.

Li the course of her stay
Wednesday and Thursday, she in-
structed three hockey classes and
the two practice hours for the
class teams.

We were very lucky indeed to
have the privilege of working
with Miss Calder last week.

Finally, I would like to apolo-
gize for making light of the
ping-pong and marble tourna-
ments held at other schools (see
last issue), because I may have
hurt somebody's feelings. I'm
very sorry I can't imagine
what I must have been thinking
about at the time.

Collegians Jeopardise
Faculty-Student Bonds

By

SUE
KEITH.
LUCAS

wmm

"Close faculty-student relation-
ship" the catalogue calls it, and
most of us are well aware of the
personal meaning of that phrase
to our life here.

We do have professors and ad-
ministration who care, who take
time to be available to students,
and who are genuinely interested
in our development.

Sometimes, however, in our
enthusiasm about their interest,
we forget that we have a re-
sponsibility to protect this re-
lationship from abuse.

The student who begs to have
a paper postponed as a special
favor is usually imposing upon the
generosity of her professor.

Many will consider the prefer-
ences of the majority of the class
as to dates for tests or written
work, but we need to remember
that this is not a right but rather
comes from an atmosphere of co-
operation in learning.

We can also abuse the privi-
lege of communication by over-
use. There is a tendency to use
professors or the administration
as parents-away-from-home who
can be consulted on each prob-
lem, no matter how trivial.
A too-personal relationship of
this type can defeat the possibility
of independence for the student,
and also waste valuable time for
the faculty member.

A rather subtle misuse of the re-
lationship comes when students
expect the faculty to impose per-
sonal discipline.

Too often we hear "make it
due at 8:30 in the morning, not
5 p.m. That way I'll have to do
it the night before." Ifs our re-
sponsibility, not the professors'/
to make ourselves do our work
the night before.

Very few Agnes Scott students
abuse the privilege of close com-
munication, but the danger is
present. Some of the faculty have
expressed concern to individual
students that the present freedom
of contact may deteriorate if we
misuse it.

Many of our professors can be
adult friends to us, but they are
neither parents nor contempora-
ries, and the dividing lines are
often very subtle.

The privilege of communica-
tion we have is very precious;
lef s not run the risk of losing it.

Christie Gives
Arp Collection
To Agnes Scott

By JINNA CLARK

Miss Annie May Christie, asso-
ciate professor of English, emeri-
tus, recently gave the Agnes Scott
Library a collection of material
concerning Bill Arp, (Georgia jour-
nalist and humorist.

The material includes original
letters of Charles Henry Smith,
better known as Bill Arp, and
issues of the 1902-1903 Home and
Farm newspaper containing re-
prints of his letters to the Atlanta
Constitution.

There are also several letters
from Margaret Mitchell Marsh to
Miss Christie about the Bill Arp
research.

These letters of Bill Arp's are
the first original manuscripts, out-
side of the Robert Frost collection,
the library has received.

Miss Christie obtained the let-
ters while working on her disserta-
tion, "Bill Arp as a Civil War
Humorist" at the University of
Chicago.

Although she retired from the
faculty in June 1962, she still
maintains an active interest in the
college. She resides in Decatur.

Bill Arp was born in Lawrence-
ville, Georgia, in 1826 and died at
"Fountainfoleau," his farm near
Cartersville in 1903. He practiced
law in Rome, Georgia, and in 1864
was judge advocate in Macon.

The Southern Confederacy, pub-
lished in Rome in 1861-62, printed
four letters from him. This was
the beginning of his career as a
humorous rustic philosopher.

For 25 years, he contributed
weekly letters to the Atlanta Con-
stitution. They were noted for
their blend of humor, genial but
forceful satire and commonsense
philosophy.

The letters were reprinted in
newspapers over the south.

Bill Arp wrote several books in-
cluding "Bill Arp, So Called," and
"From the Uncivil War to Date."
He was a popular lecturer, touring
the Southeast from Arkansas to
Florida.

There will be a display of some
of these new additions to the Li-
brary during this week.

Glee Club Plans Program
Of Holiday Carols, Cantata

The Agnes Scott Glee Club will
present its Christmas concert Dec.
15 in Gaines Chapel at 7:30 p.m.

The 85 members of the club will
present an asymetrically balanced
program in three segments.

Five carols sung in five different
languages will comprise the first
segment of the program.

The club will sing the carols in
the original languages in order to
give to the program a feeling of
the universality of the Christmas
celebration and story.

The five carols are "Hodie
Chris tus Natus Est" by Nanino,
"L' Adoration des Bergers" by De
Manziarly, "What Is This Lovely
Fragrance?", an old French carol

arranged by Mr. Hensel, "A Littel
Childe" by Carl Davis and "Brich
An, O Schoenes Morgen Licht" by
Bach.

The second part of the concert
will be "This Child of Life," a
cantata by David Cox.

Cox is a modern British com-
poser. He adapted the Old English
words sung in the cantata from
religious lyrics of the fourteenth
and fifteenth centuries.

The final segment of the concert
wil] con/tain four traditional Christ-
mas carols.

The Glee Club will sing a Bach
chorale, "Now Let All the Heavens
Adore Thee," at the Thanksgiving
Convocation. Richard Hensel ar-
ranged the chorale.

Blackfriars Gives
Fall Productions

See a pictorial feature on Backstage with Blackfriars by
Photographer Muriel Lindsay on Page 3.

Agnes Scott Blackfriars and
Dance Group will present a series
of medieval plays, "The Darkness
and the Light," at 8:15 p.m. Fri-
day and Saturday nights in
Gaines chapel.

The five plays include the my-
stery plays of the creation of the
heavenly beings, the fall of Lucifer,
and the creation and fall of man.

After the intermission, "Every-
man," a morality play of the
period, will be presented.

Instead of medieval staging, the
set, costumes and lights for the
production have been planned in
order to present the religious
drama in a timeless manner. Sym-
bolic, rather than representational,
colors and forms have been used.

Directed by Miss Roberta Winter
and Mr. Robert Singdahlsen, the
production also includes music di-
rected by Mr. Richard Hensel and
dance choreographed by Miss Kay
Osborne.

Scottie Roberts plays the role of
God, while Teena Biscoe takes the
part of Everyman.

Adam and Eve are Malie Bruton
and Carol MacDonald.

Bunny Foster as Death and Pam
Gilbreath as Lucifer also take
major roles.

Mary Jane Gilchrist, Margaret

Peyton and Boyd Bauer are angels,
While Ann Daniel, Karen Austin )
Anne Felker, Sue Roberts, Malinda
Snow and Beverly Allen have other
parts.

Bonnie Jo Henderson, Jo Patter-
son, Tish Emmer, Helen Mann,
Carol Mobley and Betsy Westfall
are also in the cast.

Angels, demons and Humanity
will be represented by the dancers.

The production will be preceded
by a procession, adapted from the
medieval manner, of all the cast
and crew.

Betty Earle Speer, as president
of Blackfriars, is overall chairman
of the production.

Daryle McEachern is stage man-
ager with Susan Keith-Lucas as
assistant.

Molly Gehan is responsible for
costumes, Margaret Peyton for
lights, and Betsy Feuerlein for
the set.

Makeup is Mary Adair Pittman's
job, and sound is supervised by Tish
Emmer.

Tickets for the plays are avail-
able in advance in the mailroom
at posted hours or by calling JA. 5-
4585 .

Advance tickets are $1 while tic-
kets bought at the door will cost
$1.25.

Intrusion

Information, for the most part, is a very useful commodity.

We at Agnes Scott are here for the purpose of obtaining a
fantastic amount of information. Our minds are being trained
to seek out and analyze all kinds of data.

However, there is a more subtle lesson being taught on
this campus that concerns information other than aca-
demic.

Our personal lives are becoming the subject of a large
part of the school's extra-curricular life.

This seems to be happening irregardless of any wishes on
our part.

We seem to carry on a very satisfying existence until, all
of a sudden, we are confronted with the fact that there is
a large group of people who are extremely well informed
on something we had previously considered private in-
formation.

It is only recently that we have begun to realize that this
has been happening, and this enlightenment has not been
pleasant.

It seems that a large percentage of the campus community
has developed an unusually skillful techniqe of extracting
information from other members of the community.

Strangely enough, this information is usually of little or
no value to those who seek it, which makes one wonder
whether we are the victims of this old game or the vic-
timizes.

Gossip is an ancient malady of the female sex and even
today there are scars to be found on our campus.

Sometimes falsehoods are spoken for the simple purpose
of finding truths, but more often than not the falsehoods
cause more harm than the truths provide benefits.

Minor insinuations can and have grown into huge and
devastating lies.

It is not only those who probe for information but those
who allow themselves to be informers and also those who
listen and repeat who comprise this vast and intricate system
of gossip.

The honor system is a marvelous screen behind which to
conceal one's actions.

Because we are supposed to be concerned with our sis-
ters' welfare, morally speaking, we extend this to mean
even her most personal welfare.
This is an intrusion of her personal rights to which no one,
absolutely no one, has any right whatsoever!

The community life to which we are being subjected at
the moment has stripped us of more than enough of our per-
sonal privacy and what little that is left to us should be
sacred.

If we allow ourselves to become completely devoid of
any personal privacy we will soon lose our individuality
and become a meaningless stereotype group.

If we let this happen we will prove beyond a doubt that
we have neither the strength of character nor the personal
maturity of the adult women that we are supposed to be.

We will simply be completely subject to the whim of those
influential members of our campus. What this will lead to
in later life is obvious and terrifying.

We must protest against these intrusions.
That which binds friend to friend should be the knowledge
and business of those two people only.

That which passes between boy and girl ought not to be-
come the business of the campus.

That which goes on between student and family is private
and should remain so if the parties involved so desire.

Any infringement of school policy should be dealt with
according to the Honor System. It has been observed that
no system can survive unless its principles are observed.
Part of growing up is learning to deal with our personal
lives and recognizing the rights of others to deal with theirs
privately.

Sometimes it is difficult to determine when and when not
to become involved, but when we learn to do this we will
have achieved a new quality and virtue.

The value of such a virtue is immeasurable.

It is one of the most difficult and subtle of all virtues and
yet it is one of the most rewarding.

This quality is subtle when present, but has become con-
spicuously absent in many people today. S. Pockel

To the Editor:

Sometimes, in our lack of con-
cern with and appreciation of the
unique atmosphere in which we
live, we blatantly ignore the
opportunity we have for meaning-
ful, rewarding communication with
our "adult friends" and the learn-
ing experiences which result on
both sides.

Must w<; continually agonize
ourselves with worry about
"images," devices of communica-
tion, etc., etc.? Must we contin-
ually bustle about, picking, probing
for such often meaningless details
with which we feel it our duty to
concern ourselves?

Let's stop being so wrapped up
in ourselves and trivialities and
worry about how effectively we
are communicating and what we
are willing to give of ourselves.

Does this not in itself require
our full attention?

Individual respect for personal
integrity is heightened by such
communication, not violated.

Ours would certainly be a dreary
and futile existence without the
freedom of the communication that
is possible in our situation.

Communication is an activity in
which to indulge with fervor and
intensity, not an exercise to be
regulated and protected

To the Editor:

Our faculty-led vespers service
has, I believe, a very real place in
our campus life; but it currently
appears in danger of being mis-
understood. There sometimes al-
most seems to be a concern with
entertainment value, popular ap-
peal, and the size of the crowd that
one would expect in the profes-
sional theater and its patrons! This
is a far cry from the concept of
vespers as a campus-community
almost a ''family" religious serv-
ice.

Vespers should be a time of wor-
ship and meditations, when people
who would like to commune with
God and each other may do so. It
should not be expected to be one of
the cultural or intellectual high-
lights of the campus calendar
though I remember with pleasure
t :d inspiration certain vespers serv-
ices which have been.

To the Editor:

In answer to a letter appearing
in your last issue and criticizing
the article in the Tempo column
of the previous week I should like
to stand up for the Tempo editor.

Your letter writer seems to have
missed the point of the entire
article.

In speaking for the Arts Counci
I would urge those who feel the
article was a blast at the Hockey
games to go back and read Tempo
again, rememljering that Symbo-
lism is not only found in English
text books and that the Arts Coun-
cil is (we hope) a part of current
student thinking.

Bunny Foster, Secretary of the
Arts Council

As Thanksgiving and Christmas
draw near this year, it is obvious
quite a few Scot. ties will be think-
ing of or being with someone spe-
cial during the holidays judging
from the newest pins, lavaliers. and
rings seen around campus.

Diane Pulignano is now pinned
to Warren Dawson, a Sigma Chi
at Georgia. Another Sigma Chi at
UT, Ronnie Cox, has given his pin
to senior Nancy Barger.

The Pikas also happen to have at
least two pin-mates at Scott: Vir-
ginia Quattlebaum is pinned to
Sterling Laney, a PKA at South
Carolina. Jennifer Meinrath, a
freshman, has John Callender's
PKA pin from Davidson.

Junior Emily Tyler has been pin-
ned for the past month to BiU
Baxter, a Lambda Chi from the
University of Kentucky. A Lambda
Chi at Tech, Jay Bennish, gave
sophomore Kathy McAulay his pin
about the same time.

Jeanette Ellis joined the grow-
ing ranks of ATO pin-mates on the
Scott campus. For her, "he" is
Pete Smithe from Sewanee.

Ed Albritton. an ATO at Tech,
gave his pin to Senior Sue Mc-
Leod this past week end.

Ruth Van Deman, a sophomore,
now has the pin of Randy Martin, a
Phi Delta Theta at Emory.

And Betty Garlington, another
sophomore, is pinned to Tim Pel-

worth, a Pi Kappa Phi at Tech. He
gave her a birthday party in the
Hub last week!

Lavaliered are Jan Smoot, to
Bob Cox. a Sig Ep at Tech, and
Liza Roberts, to Bill Harwell, a
Theta Chi at Georgia.

Libby McGeachy, pinned to a
Beta at Davidson, has been named
Sweetheart.

A senior. Linda Langley, has an-
nounced her engagement to Charles
Burton, of Lafayette, Alabama.
Sophomore Mary Cantey also has
a ring from David Wild, of Denim,
England and Miami, Florida. He
will graduate from Tech in June,
and they hope to get married next
September.

Liz Stewart and Andy Allen have
set their wedding date for Dec. 20.
So have Laura Dorsey and Tommy
Rains.

Molly Dominey's fiance, Tom
Harrington, is now stationed in
Korea. Brandon Moore's Frji pin-
mate, Bob Brannon (Ga. Tech '63),
will soon become a 2/Lt., stationed
at Aberdeen Proving Grounds in
Maryland.

Nancy Payne Slaughter (an ex-
'65) and Butch are the proud par-
ents of Virginia Payne Slaughter,
born Oct. 1, 1963.

Lib Singley Duffy and John also
have a little baby girl, Beth, bom
about three weeks ago.

Hub-bub

Letter Elicits Reply:
Reputation At Stake

The other day, in my mailbox,
I found the following desperate
letter, from an anonymous Agnes
Scott student who, quite obviously,
has a problem.

Dear Hub Bub,

I find myself in the most horri-
ble situation, and I am at my wit's
end to try and find a solution.

I have been dating this student
at a certain neighboring engineer-
ing school (I won't mention
names).

He is a straight "A" student, on
the Dean's List every quarter. He
has his own car, not a new foreign
one, but nearly acceptable.

He is in a "sharp" fraternity,
and, of course, he is terribly
good looking.

He has so much to recommend
him as a date; however, there is
one thing about him which I can-
not abide.

He flatly refuses to take me to
the Top of the Mart. He keeps
telling me that he can't afford it,
but. I know that it' lie really want-
ed to date me he would agree that
everyone who is anyone goes
there.

I have continually pleaded with
him, to no avail.

Now, I feel that I have no
choice but to quit dating him.

After all, I have to think of my
reputation! I am already looked
down upon by all my friends.

I hope that my letter may serve
as an inspiration for other Scott
girls.

We must remain strong; we
must remember that any boy
worth his salt will take us only to
the "best" places. They must know
we have our pride, too.

A Troubled Scottie

This girl later confided to me
that what motivated her to
write this letter were some arti-
cles that she had read in the
boy's school newspaper. (Now,
I know that no one else at Scott
has heard about them.)

They made her realize that Scott
was not living up to its reputation.

There are people who are ac-
cusing Scott girls of falling down
on the job.

They say that we are "pseudo-
society" instead of the real thing.

Don't they realize that we
appear that way because some
boys do not seem to know the
first thing about the social
amenities?

Keep your values straight, girls;
don't let people say those things
about us! Remember what's im-
portant.

I would like to thank the Geor-
gia Tech Technique for its psycho-
logically penetrating and remark-
ably perceptive study of our
campus.

Keep 'em coming,
love it!!!

"I can remember when the

Believe it or not, this was not so
very long ago: no more than 22
years, for that is how long Mr.
White, of the Engineering Depart-
ment, has been at Agnes Scott.

For the unlucky students who
may not have met Mm yet (via
locked trunks or frayed wires,
etc.), Mr. White's office is right
across from Mrs. Smith's in Main.

You will always find him willing
to help ("we do a little bit of every-
thing"), and you'll never be turned
aside without his "trying to find a
cure" for any of Scott's electrical
ills. (Though, that probably does
not include Georgia Tech EE
majors).

As his associates will testify, Mr.
White does a rather successful job
of trying "to keep everybody

happy." This, as most of us realize,
may not always be an easy task.

Before coming to Agnes Scott,
Mr. White was in the plumbing
business here in Decatur, where he
has lived for the past 37 years. So,
even before he came to Scott, he
felt he knew it.

He says there is no better school
for girls in the country.

One of the most amazing things
about working among so many
girls, says Mr. White, is noting the
changes from their freshmen year
until they are "finished" four years
later.

He assures us it is for the better,
so . . . take heart, girls!

yeans at Scott, Mr. White recalled
the lightning which struck the
tower of Main about 10 years ago.

It seems that water escaping
from the tower pipes was flowing
rather abundantly down the halls
of ye ol' Agnes Scott Hall.

Mr. White is never without a
twinkle in his eyes. When we found
out his fourth grandchild (second

it was quite easy to imagine him
baby-sitting, as he says he does
quite often.

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.

Students Discuss Plans
For Sign-out System

By SUE KEITH-LUCAS

Although the proposed signing-
out-in-the-dormitory has many ob-
vious merits, it also involves some
inconveniences .

In the past there has been a
tendency to accept recommenda-
tions from student government
with little or no discussion, giving a
unanimous decision.

This particular proposal is very
important to all of us here; it
should be considered by each stu-
dent before she votes.

The following is a series of
objections which I have heard
voiced or feel myself.

It is not intended as an organized
attack, rather it should suggest
some of the problems which will
arise so that the student body will
be aware of what is involved in a
vote for the proposal.

To begin, there is the obvious in-
convenience of being required to
spend a Friday or Saturday eve-
ning, or the major part of it, serv-
ing as hostess. Remember that this
will include Homecoming weekend
for someone . . . who won't find it
easy to get someone else to take
it.

What happens if the hostess
doesn't show up? or isn't on time?
Will the penalty be great enough
to prevent the problems which
come up with phone co-op? Some-
one will answer the phone, but will
someone fill in for the hostess who
"forgot"?

Use of the space is a wonderful
idea, but using the living rooms in
Rebekah, Inman, and Hopkins will
mean that there is no place in
those dorms to study on weekends
except your room, and no quiet
hours to make that possible.

How about the people who live
in first Inman? Boys on the porch
will not make life any too easy for
them, noise or privacy-wise.

The hostess job usually -takes a
bi't of practice to do well. The girls
who take it for student-aid do it
often enough to be efficient and
organized. A person who takes it
maybe twice a year is not likely to
be so good.

What about the gal who doesn't
date (for academic or other rea-
sons). Will she want to spend time
greeting everyone else's dates?

This is not a complete list of the
possible objections: I'm sure every-
one has her favorite which was not
included. I do hope, however, that
this will start some serious dis-
cussion of the problems involved
so that we so into this experiment
aware of the situation.

Agnes Scott has made definite
progress toward a method of sign-
ing out in the dorms, for social
engagements. Tuesday night in
House meetings, House Presidents
council proposed a plan to the stu-
dent body to facilitate 'the signing
out process and to open the dorm
living rooms and lobbies on camp-
us to our dates and guests on Fri-
day and Saturday nights.

The proposed system would
allow Scott students to sign out
in their own dorms instead of the
D. O. for most social engagements.
Boys could meet their dates and
bring them back to their dorms
instead of to Main. This would
greatly alleviate the scramble and
crush in the D. O. at late time
limit, the ridiculous parking prob-
lem on the circle, the inhospitable
goodnight in the rain and sleet on
a winter quarter night and the
lonely walk to the D. O. to meet
your date.

Each student's responsibility in
this system would be to serve as
hostess for one half of an evening
once or twice a quarter.

Agnes Scott is one of the few
schools still retaining a central
sign-out location, and student
opinion has favored a change for
several years. The student body
will vote on this plan next Tuesday
night.

Friday. The juniors played the

sophomores tied the seniors, 1-1.

We were pleasantly surprised
at the appearance of Jenny Davis,
who has been noticably absent
from the sophomore team since
the Black Cat game.

To her we would say, Welcome
back! But on second thought we
would probably restrain ourselves
in the end, as this sort of thing
might be termed silly and frivo-
lous. So to avoid any risk of the

NO. 9

A.S.C Launches Ninth Campaign

Faculty Show
Heads Events

By KAREN AUSTIN

The faculty review, to be called
"Now We Are 75," will be pre-
sented Saturday, Jan. 18, at
8 p.m. in the auditorium.

The entire play will be produced,
directed, and acted by the faculty
and staff. The original script was
written by Miss Trotter with the
aid of Mr. Jack Nelson and Miss
Richardson.

Miss Julia Gary, who seems to
be in charge of something to do
with the play (everything is high-
ly classified information), stated
in a most authoritatively vague
manner that the theme of the re-
view has psychological and psy-
chiatric implications, with a
strong Freudian analysis.

Speaking parts will be taken
by such well known actors as Miss
Scandrett, Dr. Alston, Miss Ley-
burn and Dean Kline.

Another feature, which will no
doubt greatly interest every red-
blooded young Scottie, will be an
enticing men's chorus line, made
up of such well known figures as
Dr. Doerpinghaus, Dr. Frierson
and Dr. Clark.

There will also be a singing
chorus and several vocal numbers
with instrumental accompaniment.
No names have been released in
connection with this or the two
solos scheduled, as it is feared that
some of the parties involved may
actually be able to sing.

A poetry recitation is also on
the agenda. For reasons obvious
to every English student, abso-
lutely no information relative to
this particular portion of the pro-
gram is being released.

The play, which will be directed
by Miss Winter, is being given to
boost the coming campus cam-
paign.

Campus Luncheon
To Spark Campaign

To begin the campus campaign
a luncheon for the entire campus
will be served Thursday, Jan. 9.

The student body, faculty, staff,
faculty emeriti and trustees are
invited to the dinner which will
be held in Bucher Scott Gym-

Students will sit as classes at
tables decorated in class colors.

Student chairmen for the lunch-
eon are the class vice-presidents
who include Senior Mary Adair
Pittman, Junior Peggy Simmons,
Sophomore B. J. Brown and Fresh-
man Dudley Lester.

This luncheon will be similar to
the one which began the campus
campaign in April, 1960, when the
intensive phase of the present
Agnes Scott campaign began.

FACULTY REVIEW One of the scenes from the 1960 Faculty
Review given in conjunction with the preceding campaign featured
dancing "girls." Identifiable (?) are (from left to right) Miss Ro-
berta Winter, Miss Ann Worthy Johnson, Miss Josephine Bridgeman
and Miss Katherine Omwake.

Campaign Includes
Country-Style Party

By SALLY POCKEL

The joint fund-raising effort of
the campus community has under-
gone further combining by the
Freshman and Sophomore classes.

These two classes have organized
an evening of entertainment and
fun which will be colored with the
i-ythmical culture of the South.

Saturday, Jan. 11, from 8:30
p.m. to 12:30 p.m. a bam dance
and Hootenanny will be held in
the Agnes Scott gym.

The igym will be appropriately
and festively decorated for the
occasion adding to the general
gaiety of the evening.

The sophomore class will start
out the evening with a Hoote-
nanny performance to be followed
by a barn dance presented by the
freshman class.

The barn dance will be supplied
with recorded music and Dr. Par-
rish will call the dances.

Later in the evening there will
be another Hootenanny perform-
ance. Groups from Tech, Emory
and the Atlanta area will provide
the music for the Hootenanny.

The student body is reminded
that the Tech and Emory fraterni-
ties have all received invitations
and therefore girls are asked to
come whether they have a date or
not.

Costumes will be in order al-
though informal dress may be
worn. Refreshments will be served
and cokes will be on sale.

Tickets will be on sale in the
mail room from Thursday through
Friday from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at
the advance price of $1. However,
tickets may be purchased at the
door on Saturday night for $1.50.

Binky Benedict of the freshman
class and Jenny Davis of the soph-
omore class are the co-chairmen of
this event.

Events For Coming Week
Invite Students To Give

By LIL HARRIS

Now that winter quarter has
arrived, Agnes Scott's 75 th Anni-
versary Development Program is
anticipating a victory of $10,500,-
000 in additional assets for the
college.

The climax of the program will
be the college's own contribution
through the efforts of students
and faculty members in a campus
campaign.

Our goal is to raise $64,000. This
amount will help the college com-
plete its 1953 pledge to raise
$10,500,000 for endowment and for
the improvement of Agnes Scott's
physical facilities.

Such an increase in assets is
essential so that the college may
expand its educational program.

The success of the campaign will
make available more funds for
teachers' salaries, for library
books, laboratory equipment, etc.

Already the construction of
Walters, Hopkins and Winship is
concrete evidence of what the de-
velopment program can do for Ag-
nes Scott.

There are many more improve-
ments to come, including the con-
struction of the Charles A. Dana
Fine Arts Building.

Jan. 9-21 are the dates of the
campus campaign, which is being
organized by classes.

Each class has a chairman: Kit-
ty Strickland, '64; Marge Joyce,
'65; Jinny Davis, '66; Binky Bene-
dict, '67.

These girls will not only direct
the presentations of each class,
but also they will lead the com-
petition in several categories.

Classes will compete for the

highest per cent of share gifts, for
the largest total amount con-
tributed and pledged, for the lar-
gest per capita donations and for
the most enthusiastic participa-
tion.

If we meet our goal, the faculty
has promised to concede a holi-
day.

The Campaign officially begins
next Thursday, Jan. 9, with a
"Kickoff* Luncheon" in the gym.
The entire community is invited,
and Sarah Hodges, co-chairman
of the steering committee, will pre-
side.

On Friday night, Jan. 10,
the precocious Junior Class will
sponsor a College Bowl in Gaines.

That same weekend, on Satur-
day night, there will be a com-
bination Hootenanny-Barn Dance
in the gym. This is the Freshman
and Sophomore projects.

"Suppressed Desires" Day and
the Senior Class presentation will
take place on Friday, Jan. 17, and
on the next night the faculty is
planning a play entitled "Now
We Are 75."

The Campaign will conclude on
the night of Jan. 21, and a Victory
Convocation is planned for Jan.
22.

The "share plan" has been sug-
gested as a convenient way of
pledging contributions. Each share
is a donation of $64.

Of course, a contributor may
give more than one share, and she
will have five years to fulfill her
pledge.

Parents as well as students are
invited to contribute to the drive.

Southern College Debaters Convene
In Intercollegiate Debate Tournament

About 75 students from 15 col-
leges and universities will be on
campus Friday and Saturday for
the annual All Southern Inter-
collegiate Debate Tournament

Affirmative and negative teams
will debate the 1963-64 national
topic, resolved: That the federal
government should guarantee an
opportunity for higher education
to all qualified high school grad-
uates.

Questions which will be in-
volved in the debates include: Are
scholarships sufficient to meet
rising costs of higher education?
Should the federal government
play a major role in supplying
funds and/or facilities for higher
education? Are some qualified
students being denied a college

education because they lack
funds?

Trophies and certificates are to
be awarded on the basis of per-
formance throughout the five
rounds of debating.

Awards will go to the best
over-all school, the best individual
debater and to the best affirmative
and negative teams.

Schools which will be partici-

Tradition Enriches Drive

This year, as everyone knows,
is the 75th Anniversary of Agnes
Scott. Since 1889 our college has
been developing into an educa-
tional institution of renown.

Few can deny, in spite of the
faults (small and large) many
manage to find, that Agnes Scott
has used her 75 years well.

One indispensable ingredient of
Scott's growth has been marked
by the eight campus campaigns
the college has conducted since
1917. Dr. McCain, President,
Emeritus of Agnes Scott and ac-
tive in all the campaigns, remarks:

"Except for the B.E.F. one,
when war interfered, all the other
seven campaigns have been thrill-
ingly successful so much so
that many students have said that
no generation of girls ought to go
through college without the ex-
perience of such a united effort."

The "B.E.F. one" refers to the
first campaign in 1917, known as
the "Benefit Endowment Fund."
The goal for this campaign was to
add $100,000 to the $175,000 en-
dowment fund of the college at the
time. This campaign was off to a
good start until World War I in-
terfered.

One student told of her effort
to raise $25: "... in order to get
it, I gave up my class ring at 10

By SANDY PRESCOTT

dollars and getting my annual at
six dollars and all my trips home
from Christmas to Commence-
ment at nine dollars." Another
student, Dr. McCain remembers,
dressed as an impoverished widow
and wheeled triplets, "B," "E," and
"F," through the dining hall.

As this year's campaign is
titled, 'The $64,000 Question,"
each campaign since 1928 has
been organized around a central
theme.

There have been airplane races,
horse races, boat races, football
games, and in 1960, a race to the
moon via rockets.

The settings for each of these
exhibititons has usually been the
lobby of Buttrick.

The competition in all the cam-
paigns except the 1930 one, has
been between five teams: the fac-
ulty and each of the classes.

The progress of each team has
been measured in the ways al-
ready mentioned. Each horse, air-
plane, football player, etc. was
moved ahead according to the
standing of each team.

The smallest goals for a cam-
pus campaign were, obviously, set
during the depression of the 30's.

Whereas the goals usually have

Guest Editorial

Better faculty salaries ... a fuller and richer library col-
lection ... a fine arts building . . . Winship ... a gymnasium
with a patio for sunbathing with all this the South shall
rise again in the quality of college education.

Students around the nation have been aware of the neces-
sity of raising faculty salaries. The Campus Campaign pro-
vides the opportunity for students at Agnes Scott to help
improve the situation on their own college campus.

Our aim in the forthcoming campaign is to show we
appreciate what this college has contributed to our in-
tellectual growth and our development in overall maturity.
The 64,000 dollars is secondary to the programs and the
participation of students in the wild assortment of activities
which lie ahead.

On the academic side there is the College Bowl which is
sponsored by the Juniors.

For the socialites the Freshmen are giving a barn dance,
and for the folk music lovers there will be a hootenany
sponsored by the Sophomores.

Those who are sports fans and those who have been
battling Tech in other ways, come to the competition be-
tween the Agnes Scott Seniors and the Tech football team.

The specialty of the week will be the spectacular perform-
ance put on by the Faculty Actors Guild. This show ought
to be an education in itself the true nature of the pro-
fessors will be revealed.

As for the money, we need to consider seriously where
we want our money to go and how we want it to be used.
Remember that you can earmark your pledge.
Pledge the amount you want to give and what you think
you can handle over a period of five years. No matter how
large or small your pledge may be, it will be appreciated.

Perhaps there will be those who wish to pledge but feel
they cannot at this time. They, too, will be appreciated.
It is the desire to give that is significant, for the desire
in itself means the college has been valuable.
Each student's reason for giving will be different, for each
student gets something unique from her college experience.

The coming campaign will be a new experience for all of
us. Tf it's anything like the last one, then it will be a week
to let down your hair, to throw out inhibitions, to relax
and have a great time.

ranged from $30,000 to $175,000,
in 1930 and 1935 the campus was
asked to raise only $20,000 and
$15,000, respectively.

In both instances, the goals were
surpassed by about $10,000. Such
success we should keep in mind
during the next month.

One aspect of the coming cam-
pus campaign few will be likely to
forget is the promised holiday if
our goal is reached.

This promise dates back to the
1924 campaign when though plans
were being made for the "marve-
lous (in that day)" gymnasium,
according to Dr. McCain, "there
was no money for a swimming
pool."

A mere look about our gym to-
day will show that a campus cam-
paign is worthwhile.

Another aspect of the 1964 cam-
paign was instituted in 1960 as the
"Faculty Review."

According to Miss Mary Hart
Richardson, the student chairman
for the campaign in 1960, this is
a hilarious skit put on by the
faculty members in which nothing
escapes ridicule.

Secrets, rumors and scandals, of
which students often think only
they are aware, are suddenly re-
vealed for the mere price of chapel
attendance that day.

In the 1960 review, "The Devil-
to-Pay," Dr. Paul Garber played
the devil. (For the benefit of new
students, Dr. Garber is the head
of our Bible department who is
currently on sabbatical leave).

Often, the past campaigns have
contributed to the initial organi-
zation of a subsequent one.

For instance, because the stu-
dents raised $55,000 of the total
$107,000, the goal for this year
was set at $64,000.

Of course, this is an over-
simplification, but it was figured
that with an increased student
body in a period of increased pros-
perity, 1964, this would be a rea-
sonable goal.

After the initial organization is
settled, it is left to the campus
activity and enthusiasm to deter-
mine the final success. Perhaps,
as the Feb. 15, 1939 issue of the
Agnonistic, the old name for the
Agnes Scott News, suggests dur-
ing the campaign that year.

"The College has challenged us:
'Is Agnes Scott to be just a col-
lege lost in the swarm of others?'
Or is she to take her rightful place
of leadership in the higher educa-
tion of women in the South?"

Though it is doubtful that all
contributions are so highly moti-
vated, Dr. McCain, Dr. McNair.
Miss Richardson and other past
contributors agree that the cam-
paigns represent more than a mere
fund-raising drive.

The atmosphere on campus dur-
ing these weeks is comparable to
neighborhood cooperation in build
ing or repainting a house.

As we enter the Campus Cam-
paign, we are being asked to con-
tribute financially to the support
of Agnes Scott College.

Money, however, is not the only
thing we need to give.

Support comes not only
through monetary provision for
new facilities, but also in our
total cooperation and commit-
ment to the process of educa-
tion here.

When we came to Agnes Scott,
we did so for many varied rea-
sons.

Underneath all these, however,
was the idea that Agnes Scott, as
it stands, can give us something
we want. And we have to trust it
to give us this.

Education is not a passive
process, but it involves a trust

Dear Editor:

I am writing this letter as a
means of reaching the Agnes Scott
Student Body with a plea that
they join a political club on
campus.

Many of you probably feel that
you don't know which party you
prefer you are independents. This
is fine except that the American
system is the two party system,
and this doesn't include the inde-
pendent party!

But, some will say, "I'm still
making up my mind." How long
does it take to make up one's
mind? With one day of intelligent
study most of us could decide
which party we prefer do we
need to wait four years? or two
years? or even one year?

Stand up and be counted now
while the party platforms are be-
ing formulated; don't give up
most of your political choice by
waiting until the alternatives are
narrowed to two.

If our nation participated in
politics as do the Agnes Scott stu-
dents, 40 people out of 700, 5.7%,
would be dictating the party plat-
forms!

Finally, to those of you who
say, "I lean toward this party, but
I'm not certain . . ." Participate
in that party anyway. How many
of us failed to go to college be-
cause we couldn't find one that
was exactly what we wanted? How
many of us failed to join an or-
ganized church because it was not
exactly what we believed?

Thus, I urge you all to join the
party of your choice, to work for
it, and not to be afraid to change
allegiance if you find your origi-
nal choice to have been wrong.

We can't remain in a state of
indecision indefinitely if we are
to move forward.

As the late President, John F.

placed in the whole structure
and ideals of the college.

In coming to a college, any col-
lege, we accept the proposition
that it, through its trustees, ad-
ministration, and faculty, knows
more about educating us than we
ourselves do.

We submit to group require-
ments, to exams, and to pressure
with the belief that those we trust
feel that these are important parts
of our education.

We also accept social regula-
tions which bear on our aca-
demic lives, and for the same
reasons.

We are free to question the
structure, but if we want what it
offers, we must support it.

We have seen the results of an
Agnes Scott education in the
women around us, in the reactions
of graduate school deans to our
applications, and gradually in our
own lives.

So now we are being asked for

money money to keep Agnes

Scott, a growing concern, never
standing still.

Our money alone is not
enough: "The gift without the
giver is bare."

Kennedy has said, "Our fight
yours and mine is to keep de-
mocracy safe by keeping it mov-
ing forward. In such a fight it is
an unhappy place to be on the side-
lines. To the young people of
America I say: Join with us; ours
is the real struggle to continue
and preserve democracy in Ameri-
ca."

Harriet King

Dear Editor:

Having had a mild affair at one
time with a girl now attending
Agnes Scott, I occasionally read
through the copies of your news-
paper in the Student Union.

Usually they're not very good,
but a close friend and I have con-
tinually been singularly disgusted
with the utter tripe contained in
columns such as 'Tempo."

The editorials seem somewhat
obscure. The one possible excep-
tion this year, "Myth of an
Image," was nullified the follow-
ing week by "Timely Panacea."

This letter is primarily addressed
to the article concerning Geor-
gia Tech student's opinion of Ag-
nes Scott girls. I am forced to
back him one hundred per cent.

Not only are a majority of Ag-
nes Scott girls pseudo-society, but
on dance weekends here my friend
and I have both noticed that Scott
girls tend to sit around with an
almost vulture-like aloofness, as
if above speaking to anyone.

The young lady with whom I
used to step out also took great
delight in frequent outbursts of
pseudo-intellectual pedantry, not
unlike that usually contained in
'Tempo." Pseudo-society and
pseudo-intellectual seem to sum
up the typical Agnes Scott girl.

I feel certain that you will not
print this letter, due to your
timorous journalistic policies. Any-
way, Agnes Scott girls tend to ig-
nore adverse criticism, and would
probably take the comments en-
closed herein lying down.

Hub-bub

Scottland Sacrifices
Traditional Idealism

By ANN KENNEDY

Once upon a time, deep in the
heart of Scottland, there lived a
nice young lady who, more than
anything else in the world, wanted
to help poor people.

This sweet young thing, named
Agnes Winter The Charitable,
spent every spare minute collect-
ing old toys to mend and give to
the poor starving Armenian chil-
dren.

Because of her big generous
heart, she earned the title of
"Saint Agnes." Our Saint Agnes
was very, very poor. She lived
off scraps she gathered from
Miss L. P. Evans, a wealthy
woman in Scottland.

Since little Agnes was so poor,
not even having enough money to
travel to nearby Watsonland to
visit, she was not able to give
money to the poor starving Ar-
menians.

Alas, she could only send them
toys she found in old trash cans,
and even had to send those col-
lect!

Poor Saint Agnes.

However, ail was not lost. Ag-
nes had one time each year when
she could send money to her
starving proteges. For once a year
the rulers of Scottland had a
fund-raising drive in order to get
money to send to all the poor
people. They always got so much
money that they did not even
have to send the parcel collect.
They could pay the postage them-
selves.

Little Agnes always worked
harder than anyone else on this
project. She sponsored a special
day when, for paying 13% Scotts
(equal to one American dollar),
people could go and see a play
performed which ridiculed the
leaders of Scottland. Naturally, no
one wanted to miss that!

The leaders, though they did
not like to be ridiculed, nonethe-
less endured the insults since
they also liked to help these
Armenians. Leaders are nice,
too.

The year was 1964. Agnes had
been thinking ahead ail year,
planning new and better ways to
get more and more money for her
little poor friends. She had thought
of many new schemes that she
hoped would bring in more reve-
nue.

She was so happy. This year
was going to be the most wonder-
ful one yet. Now, millions of
starving children would get to
play with glee for they would have
had enough to eat.

Oh the nobility of purpose to
which our Saint Agnes was com-
mitted!

Meanwhile, back at the palace
of the ruler of Scottland, there
had been a decree. In order to se-
cure enough money to erect a new
wing on the palace, the state was
going to have to raise 23,419.67%
Scotts before the end of the first
month of 1964. Thus far, only
19,099 M Scotts had been raised,
and time was growing short.

If this money was not raised,
the ruler would have to make do
with his old palace for another
five years. Needless to say, this
was not right. The ruler would be
the subject of much ridicule from
neighboring kingdoms.

Thus, the decree went out that
in order to insure the ruler that
he would have his new wing,
instead of having the traditional
day to raise money for the Ar-
menians, this year the money
would be given to the ruler, and
the Armenians could fend for
themselves.

When Agnes read this she was
so disappointed that she ran to
her poor little shack and cried.
However, she was not dense, and
could see the genius of this new
arrangement. The people were
used to giving money on this day
so that they could help poor peo-
ple. Thus, they would probably
give again from force of habit, and
the ruler would get lots of money.

Yes, little Agnes had to admit
that the plan was smart. So, sick
at heart, she returned to rummag-
ing trash cans to find some toys
to mend and send to her orphan
friends. (Collect, of course!)

Later she discovered that the
Armenians were destitute.

However, all was not lost be-
cause the ruler had a gorgeous
new wing on his palace, and every-
one came from miles around to
admire the beautiful palace in the
rich country.

No one calls Little Agnes
"Saint" anymore, for she has
lost her idealism. Now Little
Agnes Winter has seen the
world.

that it might be possible, but the
danger that I see is that in the
rush of things we might miss the
real significance of the whole ven-
ture.

The campaign is an opportunity
for a smart business woman to
make a sound investment.

It's an investment guaranteed
to produce beneficial results. We
wouldn't be here in the first place
if we did not earnestly believe in
the value of a good education for
young women today.

Atlanta Snowstorm Surprises
Cynical North, A. A. Calendars

By MARTHA MONTMEAT

In the same way we all laughed
off Khrushchev's threat about
burying us all, so some of us still
find it difficult to take seriously
the often heard remark that the
South will rise again and surpass
the North.

Since at least half of this
sort of battle is staged in the
realm of the mind, which neces-
sarily involves attitudes, it must
follow that while the party of
the first part (in this case the
South) must adopt an attitude
typical of an over-confident,
too-eager youth, the party of the
second part (here the North)
must in turn assume a patroniz-
ing, understanding smile along
with an attitude made up of
maturity and cynicism both
mellowed with age and knowl-
edge.

Recently there has occurred an
event which has dealt a definite
blow to a particular area of life
which the North has long held as
sacred, and has considered its ex-
clusive and private property, and
never would have dreamed that
the South would even attempt to
venture into this area; a blow that
has left the North virtually stag-
gering under its impact and, we
might add here, a blow which was
unquestionably aimed below the
belt.

Winter sports, which have
grown up over the years and
around the snow, have become in-
tricately woven into the intricate
hearts and lives of Northerners.
White Christmases rather
than white columns, they
thought.

And those few who were too
weak in body (character?) could
go to . . . that is, it was suggested
to them that they go South for
the winter.

White columns, however, were
apparently not enough: there had
to be both.

And, it followed that once the
initial barrier had been broken
down, there seemed to be no
stopping the onrush.
This surging tide has grown in
such magnitude as to have tran-
scended even the walls of Agnes
Scott.

"Can nothing be left chaste in
this world today?" might well have
been asked upon seeing the snow-
men against the background of
Inman's white columns.

As rumors fly every which
way over the campus, people are
asking themselves, "Can it be
that the fishpond is to be used
as a skating rink?" or, "Did you
say they plan to block off the
road to the infirmary for to-
bogganing?"

In the midst of all of this quan-
dry and agitation, which is, natur-
ally, to be expected, we search for
an escape, for something into
which we can throw ourselves
headlong and thereby lose sight
of a troubled world.

Suggestions for escape have
been pouring in and as we sift
through the great mass of them,
there are at least two worth men-
tioning right now.

This week dance group is
holding tryouts and in the very
near future basketball practice
will begin!

Keep your eye on the A. A.
bulletin board in the mailroom for
more information about these and
many other exciting activities
planned for this quarter.

Meanwhile, though, what about
the snow, you may well ask.

This certainly is a perfectly
justified question. As a matter
of fact, the A. A. board itself has
been hashing over this very
same question and, I am sorry
to report, as of yet there is no
answer to this question.
One of the main obstacles to
progress in this matter seems to
be the fact that the A. A. calen-
dars have already been printed
and, apparently, there was little
or no time set aside for activities
involving snow.

Finally, as far as the North and
South are concerned, we wonder
if it would not be fair to ask the
latter if she has no respect for
tradition and, further, why she
finds it so difficult to grasp the
idea that when dealing in a mat-
ter involving attitudes, people will
not be changed overnight
especially by force.

Pi Alpha Phi Hosts Tournament
For Southern College Debaters

By KAREN AUSTIN

The Pi Alpha Phi debating so-
ciety of Agnes Scott was host to
eleven visiting debate teams on
January 10 and 11. The visiting
teams were welcomed Friday at 2
p.m. by Dr. Alston in the Rebekah
Recreation Room.

Debates were held on the basis
of four speeches of 10 minutes each
and four rebuttals of five minutes
each, making a total of 60 minutes.

The topic debated in the tourna-
ment was: Resolved that the fed-
eral government should guarantee
an opportunity for higher educa-
tion to all qualified high school
graduates.

This topic is the official one to
be debated for a year, dated from
the beginning of this school year
until the beginning of the next.

The 11 schools represented at the
tournament were West Georgia,
Sewanee, Emory, the Universities
of Kentucky and Georgia, Tennes-
see Tech, Georgia Tech, Georgia
Southern. Florida State Universi-

ty, Berry and Auburn.

Two trophies, one for the best
over-all college and one for the
best individual debater, were pre-
sented Saturday at 1 p.m. by
Carolyn Craft in Rebekah Rec-
reation Room.

Also presented were 16 certifi-
cates. Debaters representing Agnes
Scott were ineligible for any
awards.

Judging of the debates was based,
upon analysis of the proposition
knowledge of 'the subject, logical
reasoning based on evidence, skill
in refutation and rebuttal, and
general effectiveness as a public
speaker.

The College Bowl was postponed
until 8:30 Friday night in order
that the debaters might to able to
attend; visiting debaters were ad-
mitted free of charge.

The tournament was the seven-
teenth annua] one held at Agnes
Scott. The tournament next year
wil be held on January 8 and 9.

Council In Review

Representative Council, created in a new capacity when
the new Constitution was adopted two years ago, may well
be a hindrance rather than a help at Agnes Scott.

Created as an executive and legislative body for the school,
the group seems to have done little during the past two years
other than nod its head to matters which scarcely needs its
approval.

Functions delegated to it, such as passing the recent pro-
posal for signing in and out in the dormitories and approving
constitutions for new groups, such as the Arts Council, could
really be relegated to another group which has been in ex-
istence for years.

One of the reasons, apparently, for the formation of this
new group was to eliminate some of the routine committee
work on this campus. Yet committees still must pass the
legislation which Rep. Council handles, both before and after
the group of supposed 'campus leaders and representatives
of the student body" has discussed the legislation.

Little indication seems to have been given within the
group itself of a feeling of representation of the student
body. Members are mostly concerned with their own spe-
cific field of interest, since presidents of boards and classes
serve on the council.
The presence of these people is designed to strengthen the
board, in the opinions of those who first formulated the con-
cept of the new group. This is where all the information of
the campus is to be aired in the company of those "who should
know."

There seems to be a question as to the effectiveness of
this policy, for often the student body never hears of the
business discussed unless one reads the minutes in the
mailroom.

After all, who in the world ever does that?
We would suggest that the student body acquaint itself
with members of the group, find out their opinions and
formulate a personal opinion of the use of this group and
its place in the college's organization.

We certainly have enough organizations now not to desire
another one for the sake of having one.

Rep. Council itself tried last Tuesday to evaluate its
position and effectiveness for 45 minutes and, characteristi-
cally, much was said and nothing constructive decided.
If you feel you are represented on the council by someone,
talk to her. If not, decide why you know so little about the
group.

Do we or do we not need a Representative Council on
this campus? N. B.

Hub-bub

Disorder Threatens
Future Use Of Hub

Even though it may not have
seemed so the last few issues, the
name of this column is "HUB-
BUB"; therefore, by virtue of this
title, it should concern itself with
those aspects of life within these
sacred walls that affect those
girls who continually endanger
their future usefulness to the
world by smoking vile cigarettes.

First and foremost, those of us
who do fall into this category
should have a nice, hygenically
clean place to smoke. We don't
want any germs around that are
not contained in the cigarettes
themselves.

The best way to have such a

place is, obviously, by keeping

it clean.

Although Eva is paid to insure
as a nice HUB. she should not
have to do it alone. We all must
do our share.

After all. this is a college with
high Christian standards, as all of
us know.

To be true to this ideal of

love and friendship to all ("and
a sister to every other Scottie")
everyone will have to pick up
their own "soft" drink bottles
(those bottles not in this cate-
gory may stay as the Eighth
Wonder of the World and will
be sent, postage-free to the next
school the owners attend).

Seriously, the HUB has been a
little grubby lately with all kinds
of nasty thngs strewn here and
there in general chaos. We shall
have to improve this situation or
I fear the "Powers that Be" will
deem it necessary to close its hal-
lowed portals for a while.

Then, no Bridge after lunch or
joyous times around the old faith-
ful piano.

TRAGEDY!!

And thus I will conclude with a
warning from those who have the
authority to exclude Scotties from
their Playhouse: "Either start
picking up or be prepared to start
playing Bridge in the Quadrangle!"

Students Present
Views On N.S.A.

By HARR
President of
These two views are presented
to acquaint the student body
with NSA. Rep. Council will
vote next week whether or not
ASC will continue as members.
Dear Editor,

The United States National Stu-
dent Association, USNSA, was
formed in 1947 at the University
of Wisconsin, where its constitu-
tion was drafted and ratified by
delegates from a number of
schools which had expressed in-
terest in having an American stu-
dent association.

The impetus for the meeting was
the concern of a number of Ameri-
can students who, after attending
some international student con-
ferences, felt that there was a defi-
nite need for such an organization
here.

The aims of USNSA are many
and are clearly stated in the pre-
amble of the constitution:

"To maintain academic freedom,
academic responsibility, and stu-
dent rights;

'To stimulate and improve dem-
ocratic student governments;

"To develop better educational
standards, facilities and teaching
methods;

"To improve student cultural,
social and physical welfare;

"To promote international un-
derstanding and fellowship;

"To guarantee to all people, be-
cause of their inherent dignity as
individuals, equal rights and possi-
bilities for primary, secondary and
higher education regardless of sex,
race, religion, political belief or
economic circumstances;

"Foster the recognition of the
rights and responsibilities of the
students to the school, the com-
munity, humanity and God;

"And to preserve the interests
and integrity of the government
and constitution of the United
States of America."

Noticeably omitted from these
aims are political objectives. How-
ever, the question of education and
the inherent dignity of man, for
example, are, by their nature, po-
litical.

This has often resulted in NSA's
being concerned with " things po-
litical" and being called, therefore,
a political club.

It is political only insofar as it
must be to work effectively to-
wards attaining its aims.

It is not a political club.

The governing body of NSA is

IET KING
NSA of ASC

the student congress which meets
annually with the member schools
being represented in proportion to
the size of their respective student
bodies.

The delegates are selected by
popular vote in campus elections
or are appointed by a popularly
elected student government.

The congress elects national
officers to execute the congres-
sional program for a term of one
year. The legislation is codified
after every congress and sent to
member schools.

The country is divided into re-
gions, all having regional officers.
This is to have smaller groups
within the organization that can
deal with problems of a more local
nature.

The link of the individual camp-
us to USNSA is the student co-
ordinator who may be elected or
appointed.

It is the student's responsibility
to see that USNSA does function
on the individual campus and that
it is an effective force. This per-
son is usually aided by an NSA
committee.

This article has been designed
to give you a few facts about the
aims of NSA and its organizational
structure. Anyone interested in
more detailed information is in-
vited to study the literature which
will be in the mailroom.

By SARAH UZZELL
Vice President of NSA of ASC

For some 15 years Agnes Scott
has been a member of the National
Student Association.

Each summer two to four girls
attend its week-long congress or
one of the various smaller con
ferences specifically for college
newspaper editors, student body
presidents, etc.

Once a year one of the national
officers of NSA visits Agnes Scott
to present a speech in chapel and
to conduct an afternoon discussion
in the Hub.

This summarizes the extent of
the school's interest and partici-
pation in the National Student
Association.

We pay our dues faithfully every
year, but possibly 25 students real-
ly understand the purpose and
function of NSA, and a few more
may have at least heard about
it.

Yet, over 50 per cent of the girls

Letters to
Editor

This week the Arts Council is
sponsoring an Art Auction in the
Rebekah Reception Room. Perhaps
there has not been adequate ex-
planation of the purposes and aims
of this sale.

There have been some misunder-
standings that can be cleared up
by knowledge of a few facts.

In the first place the artists and
the Arts Council would like to
contribute to the Campus Cam-
paign.

Secondly, the Arts Council would
like to support the artists.

Thirdly, the artists need the
market to have further funds for
materials. For those who are not
aware, artists' supplies are ex-
pensive and need constant re-
plenishing.

In considering the prices of the
works now on sale the sum arrived
at may seem unreasonable to
some.

These persons should know that
two dollars have been added to
the artist's asking price. One dol-
lar and fifty cents of this will be
given to the campaign and fifty
cents will be kept by the Arts
Council.

This 50 cents may be questioned
until it is understood that the
Arts Council has no funds due to
its recent formation.

The real question of an artist
concerning his work is often "How
much is it worth?"

Yes, this is difficult for an
artist to answer.

Let it be known that the prices
asked here on campus are con-
siderably lower than asked else-
where and that the artists have
tried to be realistic in linking
what could be paid by students.

Dear Editor,

This letter is a response to the
article "Scottland Sacrifices Tra-
ditional Idealism," written by the
author of Hub-Bub in the January
8 issue of the Agnes Scott News.

I feel that the Campus Campaign
is a well-planned and much needed
effort to make Agnes Scott into
a great school and give her the
recognition she deserves.

However, one can
money to charity.

also give

Through my work on C.A. Cab-
inet as co-ordinator of the 10
service projects I have come in
contact with many, many young
children . . . teenagers . . . adults,
who needs someone's time and/or
money.

Since the author of last week's
article so evidently would rather
give money to a charity than to
Agnes Scott, I suggest that three
shares ($192) can be used by
Christian Association or another
organization which sponsors pro-
jects in the slum areas of Atlanta.

If she and any other interested
person will contact me, I will glad-
ly drop everything and give them
any advice I can, or information
about organizations which will
gladly receive her donation.

Bryn Mawr Will Hold
Interracial Conference

By LINDA CLINARD

"The Second American Revolu-
tion" dealing with the Negro
movement in the United States
will be sponsored by the Student
Conference Committee of Bryn
Mawr and Haverford Colleges on
February 7, 8 and 9.

The effects on American society
made by efforts to improve the
Negro's position will be described
and considered during the confer-
ence.

Two of the speakers will be Mal-
colm X, chief spokesman for the
Black Muslim movement, and
James Kilpatrick, editor of the
Richmond News Leader and author
of The Case for Segregation.

Other important speakers will
include Herbert Hill, Labor Secre-
tary of the NAACP, and James
Farmer, National Director of the

Congress of Racial Equality.

Three Agnes Scott students,
along with delegates from a num-
ber of other colleges, will hear
addresses and attend panel dis-
cussions and seminars led by ex-
perts in the field of discussion.

Topics such as the psychology of
prejudice, the role of government,
and class structure will be con-
sidered in relation to the racial
issue.

Approximately eight Agnes
Scott applicants have submitted
essays as to their interest in the
conference and the benefit which
they believe their attendance
could do the college.

These applicants will be re-
viewed by a faculty committee,
and those accepted will be asked
to pay their own expenses.

The Towncriers and Larry Crisman join Dierdre LaPin in enter-
taining at the Hootenanny sponsored by the Sophomore Class.

on 'this campus are unaware that
such an organization exisits, or, if
they do realize its existence, they
are too apathetic to find out ex-
actly what kind of organization
it really is.

We have reached the point at
which Agnes Scott will make a
decision, through Rep. Council
(next week) as to whether this
campus will renew its membership
in NSA, will pull out completely,
or will make the selection of our
representative to the summer Con-
gress a part of the campus-wide
election in the spring.

Either the general student body
must realize exactly what being a
member of NSA involves, or it is
time to get out!

From 'the very beginning NSA
has involved itself in activities far
removed from 'those explained in
the organization's constitution and
from normal student government
affairs.

Because of this, it is one of the
most controversial student groups
in the country today.

During the period from Septem-
ber through May when most col-
lege students attend classes full-
time, 'the National Executive Com-
mittee of NSA takes on the burden
of carrying out 'the measures pass-
ed at the congress (the previous
summer and of choosing the issues
to be considered the following
summer.

Thus, it is the measures passed in
the large summer congress that
really determine the policy of NSA,
and it is here that this organization
has over-stepped its bounds.

At the 1962 congress almost 25
per cent of the issues voted upon
had nothing to do with student
governments, but were concerned
instead with the most controversial
subjects in national and interna-
tional politics.

Resolutions to abolish HUAC, in
opposition to the McCarran- Walter
Act (one of the cornerstones of
our national internal security) and
attacking the Nationalist Govern-
ment of Free China, were passed
at that time.

Just this past summer the con-
gress voted to give complete fin-
ancial support for a year to one
worker of the Student Non- Violent
Coordinating Committee.

Not only has NSA deviated far
from its original educational pur-
pose concerned with student gov-
ernments and has passed resolu-
tions with a consistently liberal,
leftist viewpoint, but also during
the time between congresses the
leaders of NSA spend most of their
time traveling all over the world

Although tJve paper doesn't
come out on Suppressed Desires
Day, I am taking this opportunity
to unsuppress a long-standing de-
sire to write a "gripe 3 ' column.

I am usually supposed to be
concerned with larger issues than
petty inconveniences, but the
accumulation of some particular
problems has finally grown large
enough to fill a column.

The cracks in the sidewalks
are a problem of such enormity
that I feel incapable of doing it
justice in a short space. I would,
however, like to suggest that to
save our heels and our balance,
they be filled in immediately.
This has gone on too long.
An unrelated but significant
problem is the yellow scratch
paper we are given at exams.
Either more restful green or a
prettier shade of yellow would be
a great improvement.

Just to prove that I am broad-
minded and write for all the
campus, I have noticed (even
though I live in Rebekah) that the

representing one million American
students.

They represent the political
opinions of ' s the American student"
before such groups as the Ameri-
can Association for the U.N., the
World University Service and the
U.S. Commission for UNESCO.

Their lobbying activities in Wash-
ington (where it hey are given a
great deal of attention, for what
senator or congressman would
ignore one million prospective
votes) have caused a strong re-
sentment among member colleges
causing a fast drop-out rate.

NSA does not represent any-
where close to one million students,
since a good part of that figure
is made up of students like those
here who have no idea such a
organization exists: ASC contri-
butes 700 to that total.

Secondly most students haven't
yet made up their minds about
politics, and (thirdly 'Uhe American
student" can no more be represent-
ed by one political viewpoint on
any subject than can "the Ameri-
can businessman" or "the Ameri-
can farmer."

Thus, the decision is up to you.
Do you want to be repre-
sented in Washington by such an
organization? Do you want to give
your money to someone to organize

Walters elevator is at the wrong

end of the building.

While I recognize that we
cannot rebuild the whole dorm,
part of the problem would be
alleviated if the washing ma-
chines were placed near the ele-
vator so that it wouldn't be
necessary to disturb those who
are studying.

In Buttrick, a major congestion
problem is created by the water
fountain under the official bulle-
tin board. Could not one or the
other be moved?

Our favorite haunt, the mail-
room, also has problems. Far more
inconvenient than the locked box-
es is their position.

I would suggest that next
year boxes be assigned accord-
ing to height, not alphabetically
so that little girls get low ones
and tall girls the high ones.
One of my more frequently ill
friends has suggested that the in-
firmary needs to install an ele-
vator to keep the sick or newly
freed patients from having to
climb all those steps.

In lieu of this, perhaps stretch-
ers could be available in each
dorm to transport the fallen.
And finally, since I have been
speaking of such pressing prob-
lems, we are in dire need of
some new ironing board covers!

CA-AA Basketball Game Opens
Season With Violent Showdown

MONTMEAT

On the wings of the snow, the
campus campaign and ail, Chris-
tian Association Cabinet is hereby
challenged to put inner as well as
outer strength to a test in a real
eye-for-an-eye, tooth -for-a- tooth,
good old-fashioned showdown in
the form of a basketball game to
be held in the gym at 10 p.m.,
Monday, Jan. 20, directly follow-
ing the bonfire at 9:30.

It is to be understood, further-
more, that not only will the spirit
of non-violent, love-thy-neighbor
type of pacificism be unaccepted
here; it won't even be respected,
much less popular.

The final stipulation is that
the game must be played with
all feet on the floor at all times.
Out of fairness to the members
of A. A., it was felt that perhaps
for one evening we could put away
our differences and that the game
could be based on a supposition,
anyway, that we are all mortals
with human limitations.

This game was originally
planned as an attempt to usher in
the '64 basketball season. Let me
just remind you that you must
have attended three practices to
play in the first game, which is
Jan. 24.

(Sorry, but the C.A.-A.A.
game does not count as the first
game in that sense. Ifs more
along the line of a closed game.
Discrimination, you cry? Non-
sense, why as for the feelings of
me and the other board mem-
bers, some of our best friends
aren't on any board. )
In order to play the rest of the
games, though, you need only at-
tend one practice before each. The
practice times are as follows:

Monday, 4 p.m., Freshmen and
Sophomores; Monday, 5 p.m.,
Juniors and Seniors; Wednesday,
4 p.m., Freshmen and Seniors;
Wednesday, 5 p.m., Sophomores
and Juniors.

The class team managers have all
been picked.

Managing the Freshman Class
team is Betty Butler, the Sopho-
mores Alice Davidson, Juniors
Sue Marshall, and Seniors
Cammie Jane Mauldin.
Lastly, we want to remind you
of the volleyball game coming up

Scott Athletics Include
Gymnastics Program

This quarter, for the first time, a
course in gymnastics is being offer-
ed here ait Agnes Scott.

The original type of physical
education was gymnastics, but up
until recently the United States
has slighted this sport in favor of
swimming, track, and other sports.

Since gymnastics is just starting,
the physical education department
was only able to purchase a balanc-
ing beam and a "horse".

However, more equipment will be
added soon, and later this quarter,
a trampoline may be available to
the class.

This gymnastics course is being
taught by Miss Kay Osborne, who
stresses the importance of having
a very small class.

The gymnastics class will begin
its program with mat routines and
progress to floor routines, stunts on
the "horse" and balancing beam,
and then to the trampoline.

Lacy Hunt and Bill Lee relax with Coach Ralph Marsh after
winning first place as an affirmative team at last week's debates.
Their record was 5-0.

Boards To Vie In Basketball
As Hardwood Season Opens

Athletic Association has chal-
lenged Christian Association to a
basketball game which will be held
January 20 at 10 p.m. in the gym.
Members of both boards plan to
participate.

Miss Kate McKemie and Miss
Mary Boney, faculty sponsors of
A. A. and C.A., will take part in

the game.

The game will be preceded by a
pep rally and a bonfire in the trash
can at the end of 'the hockey field.
The bonfire will be lighted at 9:30
p.m.

Both the basKetball game and
the bonfire are annual events be-
gun last year. The student body is
encouraged to attend these events.

VOL. L AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE, DECATUR, GEORGIA, Wednesday, January 22, 1964 No. 11

Campaign Exceeds $ 64,000 Coal

1 Alston Holds Victory Convocation,
Announces Recipients of Awards

CONSTRUCTION BEGINS Preliminary construction buildings
mark the site of the new fine arts building. Entrance will be lo-
cated near center of photograph, facing Campbell.

Work Begins On New Building
Kline Reveals Details of Plans

Work has begun on the $919,000
Fine Arts Building by J. A. Jones
Construction Company, a world-
wide firm with offices in Charlotte
and Atlanta.

The contract signed during
Christmas holidays calls for com-
pletion in 330 calendar days which
would be sometime in December.

However, Dean C. Benton Kline,
in announcing the plans of the
building, stated that the building
will be opened for teaching pur-
poses in the fall of 1965. However,
he expressed hope that theatre
productions and art exhibits might
be held there during the spring.

Architects for the structure
winch will house the departments
of painting, sculpture and ceram-
ics, and speech and drama are
Edwards and Portman, architects
of numerous large structures in
Atlanta.

Although the building contains
only 53,000 square feet, it also
features a courtyard enclosed
within the front wall which is 38
feet wide and 150 feet long.

This courtyard has two levels
which can be used as display areas
for sculpture or in the future may
be converted into outdoor drama
area.

On the ground floor is the sculp-
ture and ceramics department,
which opens into the courtyard,
lower level, by sliding glass doors.
The area includes a classroom and
room for four studio areas as well
as rooms for various pieces of
equipment.

The second floor where the
painting department will be lo-
cated is one large open space with
moveable dividers which can sep-
arate any amount of space for
studio work. These dividers are
actually cabinets which will house
materials.

A space 125 feet long composes
the third floor which will in the
future probably be used by ad-
vanced students for studio space.

The theatre wing houses a stage
which seats 324 people. The area
was designed by expert James Hall
Miller, a special design consultant.

Seating on the lower floor is on,

three sides of the stage which
measures 20 feet deep with an
apron which includes a pit with a
cover. There are seven rows of
seats in the lower level so that
the person furtherest from the
stage is only 34 feet away.

Seats in the entire theatre will
be similar to those found in the
newly remodeled theatres on At-
lanta. The balcony will contain
three rows of seats.

Lights will be located on a cat-
walk almost suspended over the
stage and a platform near the
back of the theatre. Iron beams
on the platforms will enable the
lights to be moved to various lo-
cations on the platforms. Each
light will have its own switch in
the control room.

The control room will house
switchboards for the various sets
of lights and an entire intercom
system connecting the booth with
various areas in the theatre.

On each side of the stage are
storage spaces. In addition there is
a service area in the theatre wing
which will enable students to
move heavy machinery from the
loading platform to the workshop
located below the main level of
the building.

Within the wing are a green
room, a class room, two dressing
rooms on the first floor. On the
second floor are three classrooms
on the front side of the building
which will face Campbell Hall.

Also on the second floor are two
conference study rooms, a cos-
tume room and three offices for
the department.

A total of seven offices with a
darkroom and workshop are de-
signed for the art department.

Also in the building will be a
lounge, permanent art gallery,
which will house most of the val-
uable art objects which the col-
lege possesses, three exhibit gal-
leries and an art history lecture
room.

An architect's drawing of the
proposed outside features will be
available in the near future and
the Agnes Scott News will carry
a photograph as soon as it is avail-
able.

In a victory convocation before
the entire student body and fac-
ulty, Dr. Wallace M. Alston an-
nounced that the campus cam-
paign had exceeded its goal of
$64,000.

The total reached, according to
the latest figures available, is
$83,888.98.

The four classes competed in
four areas for the awards of $1,000
each to the campaign. The sopho-
more class won perhaps one of
the most coveted awards, the
spirit, enthusiasm and originality
award.

Other awards announced by Dr.
Alston included:

Highest percentage of share
gifts

Highest total amount

Highest percentage per capita

To win the first award the soph-
omores attended most of the

Mrs. Florence Duns tan, associ-
ate professor of Spanish at Agnes
Scott, has been chosen as Atlan-
ta's 1963 Woman of the Year in
Education.

The honor was .given to Mrs.
Dunstan by the Atlanta branch of
the American Association of Uni-
versity Women in recognition of
her significant contribution, espe-
cially in the Atlanta area, to the
general field of education.

Mrs. Dunstan was especially
cited for her aid to such contempo-
rary problems as school drop-
outs, ethnic issues, and interna-
tional understanding.

To further international under-
standing she and her husband, an
area physician, for the past ten
years have extended their home,
friendship and occasional financial
support to countless foreign stu-
dents enrolled in Georgia colleges.

Dr. and Mrs. Dunstan have
established a memorable scholar-
ship fund for "promising young
people who have devoted their
lives to definite Christian work in
the preaching, teaching or health
fields.

As a scholar, Mrs. Dunstan has
added to her daily teaching at Ag-
nes Scott by participating in the
continuing education for alumnae
program.

She is presently continuing post-
doctoral work in Mexican litera-
ture and the Pre-Columbian civil-
ization.

Dr. Dunstan will be honored,

events, requested that all faculty
members wear Madeline hats on
Suppressed Desires Day and gen-
erally displayed a great amount of
enthusiasm. Judges for this event
were faculty members of the steer-
ing committee.

The second award is for the
class which donated to the col-
lege's campaign the largest per-
centage of share gifts. A share
during this campaign was worth
$64.

The third award involved the
greatest amount of total funds
donated either in shares or just a
specific amount. The fourth award
was presented for the largest
amount of money given per person
in the class.

The campaign, in the words of
the president of the college, put
"a capstone" on an 11-year effort

1963 top Woman of the Year will

Biltmore Hotel.

The Atlanta branch of the
American Association of University
Women, led by Mrs. Dunstan, fi-
nanced and co-sponsored with local
school systems and with civic, re-
ligious and educational organiza-
tions a conference to study the
problem of school drop-outs. Its
results were forwarded to the
U. S. Office of Educatiton.

branch of the AAUW, Mrs. Dun-

of the college to raise the total
assets of the college.

The intensive part of the cam-
paign had its beginning and its
end on the campus. On April 5,
I960, students at Scott kicked off
an intensive campaign with a goal
of $75,000.

On April 20, Dr. Alston for the
first time told a convocation that
the goal had been exceeded. The
amount for this campaign was
$104,784.

The difference between the two
amounts by which the goals have
been surpassed is due probably to
the fact that during the previous
campaign faculty members pledged
a total of $51,074.

Many of these professors are
still paying on their five-year

pledges.

courage, and tact in expanding the

tional background." Her example

the problem."

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, January 22, 1964

Q

uorum!

We are not going to beg, although such action might help.
Thursday in Open Forum the election of the proposed
names for the Agnes Scott News was scheduled to be held.

No quorum appeared.

This Thursday, Student Government will try again.

We urge all students who would like to see the name
changed and those who would like to see it remain the same
to appear at this Thursday's chapel program in order to cast
their vote for one of the four proposed names.

Personally, we of the News prefer The Profile because
it expresses the object of this newspaper, to present student
and sometimes faculty opinion on this campus and to re-
flect in a brief, precise manner the activities of the college.

The name also is similar to the names of the other publica-
tions on campus.

However, we will adhere to the wishes of the student body.
If only the student body will care enough to make its
wish known! N.B.

About Nominations

Nominating committee will soon be in action once more.

For freshmen and those who are just not too well versed on
the working of the group, nominating committee is a group
of elected students of the college including the presidents
and vice presidents of the boards, the editors and managing
editors of the publications, house presidents, plus other stu-
dent "leaders" who weekly (if they so desire) convene during
the course of winter quarter to draw up a slate of nomina-
tions for 1964-65 elective offices.

The list which they formulate is posted in the mailroom
prior to nominations from the student body.

In the past this group has been the object of much criti-
cism and has been plagued by being called names such as
"personality players" and accused of showing favoritism
in the making out of this list.

Last year after the group had been under much criticism,
the students elected as major leaders, persons whose names
did not appear on the nominating committee's list.

Leaders did not know if the students simply were rebelling
or really felt that the students were worthy.

We firmly believe that the students during the spring
elections did make the right choice, but this type of situa-
tion is extremely dangerous.

It must not for the future of the school happen again!

If students on the campus would be aware that the nomi-
nating committee is not a group of the "high and mighty"
who feel as though they should have the power to decide
the next leaders, but a group of individuals who knows
what the jobs require and how well others with whom
(hey have worked are prepared to bear the responsibility.

Maintenance of this thin line depends, to a Large extent,
on the members of the group themselves. We hope that those
who will become part of this committee will constantly guard
against petty personality conflicts which they have with
others.

Their position in campus elections, since they are con-
ducted in the way they arc, can be a most enlightening one
for the student body as a whole.

Certain qualifications are needed for certain jobs and much
consideration should go into the nominating of persons for
one elected position.

In previous years the policy seems to have been that
certain people were qualified for every job while others,
apparently, were good for nothing.

Hardly anyone on the campus falls into either of these
categories.

Thus, a grave responsibility falls to this group and a still
graver one to the student body at large.

It must be met maturely. N.B.

SUE
KEITH-
LUCAS

As the accidental and infamous
originator of last quarter's Tech-
Scott feud, I would like to add a
final note in a rather different key.

If the six specimens of For-
ever-Ever land who participated
in Friday's volleyball game with
the senior damsels of Never-Never
land are any example, Tech de-
serves an apology for all our nas-
ty remarks.

Not only did the six football-
ers (including the famous Billys
Martin and Lothridge) agree to
come in the first place, but they
entered completely into the
comic spirit of the event.
Playing piggy-back or sitting
down, on the girls' side or under,
around, and through the net, they
accepted the rigged scorekeeping
and obviously biased officials.

We tend to think of football
players as great hulking brutes
who are fine on a field but rather
awkward around the house.

The Yellow Jackets, however,
proved to be just as agile in-
doors as out, gracefully tapping
the ball over the net and mov-
ing as if their part of the game
had been choreographed.
They also demonstrated their
musical ability (on guitar and tri-
angle), joining brilliantly in an
absolutely unrehearsed perform-
ance with the Agnes Scott march-
ing band.

Big special cheers for the "fair-
est flower of southern manhood,"
our Homely Coming Kin<j. Charlie
Lockwood, and his court of sup-
porting homelies.

They allowed their pictures to
be ignominiously plastered to
mayonnaise jars in the mail-
room, endured the homely things

said about them, and still man-
aged not to suffer too much by
comparison to their lovely es-
corts from Never-Never land.

The king also had the unique
honor of wearing that robe and
that crown.

Are all Tech men graceful and
athletic? I doubt it. Or musical?
Probably not. Are they all homely,
patient campus leaders? Of course
not.

But after Friday night we
have many reasons to hope that
they are all as good sports as
their representatives.

Dear Editor:

A letter was recently published
in Agnes Scott News with a plea
to the students to participate in
a campus political club.

The writer of the letter said to
those individuals unsure of which
party they preferred that, "This
is fine except that the American
system is the two party system,
and this doesn't include the in-
dependent party."

I have always believed that the
American system was founded on
dissent. Surely in a democracy
more than two parties are tol-
erated. And surely it is not neces-
sary to support one or the other
of the two major existing parties.

Ronald Regan, the film-star,
once said, "In this land of ours
occurred the only true revolution
in man's history the only revolu-
tion that did not just exchange
one set of rulers for another. Ours
was the only revolution that rec-
ognized that man had the dignity
and sacred right to determine his
own destitny as an individual!"

To those who hesitate before
becoming involved in a campaign,
I give my heartiest applause. To
everyone I say: Linger a moment.
Be sure that you support what
you earnestly believe to be right
even if you must become inde-
pendent to do it!

Louise Watkins

Dear James Cowser Baker (Esq?),
Instead of sitting around your
Student Union reading the "dis-
gusting tripe" of a "pseudo-in-
tellectual," "pseudo-society" girls'
school newspaper, why don't you
and your "close friend" go out and
have a beer with the boys (if you
know any) ? It would probably be
a lot more enjoyable.

One of the Scott girls
whom you have so clever-
ly stereotyped.
Editor's Note: Upon extensive in-
vestigation, we can find evidence
of the no existence of a J. C. Baker
at Davidson. Talk about "timor-
ous journalistic policies^!

Tribute To Tech

The College Bowl last week temporarily decided the battle
between our wits and those of Tech, but Friday night the
A.S.C. Wildcats and the Yellow Jackets confronted each other
in a field in which "brawney" Tech men should be more at
heme.

Age-old (75 years) maneuvers between the "Trade School"
and the Bloomer Girls finally came to a showdown in a
deadly serious volleyball game made possible by our own
senior class and the efforts of twelve bouncing beauties
accompanied by a band of virtuosos.

Skillfully our delicate team dodged the spikes of mas-
sive figures like Lothridge and Martin, who with great
effort managed to return a few high-powered, staggering

serves.

But, in spite of our agility, poise, and other disarming
qualities, the only lady-like thing that we could do was to
concede the game to a team that proved itself so worthy of
"Never-Never Land's" favor.

That explains the close score.

Yellow Jacket gentility and technique were apparent not
only on the volleyball court and in number 18's assistance
to the band but also backstage where their services were
welcomed.

Thirty-five seconds before the coronation, Diane David
announced his newly won honor to Charlie Lockwood.

Modestly, but firmly, he resisted the robe, the scepter, and
other laurels that were his to claim until two of his school-
mates from the team "assisted" Charlie in donning his robes.
The show went on; the "fairest flower of Southern man-
hood" was crowned; and the senior class brought the cam-
paign closer to the goal of 864,000 with many thanks to
Georgia Tech leaders and their leading football team for
an enthusiastic participation. L.H.

Pooh Review Climaxes Campaign

Miss Shelley, alias Miss E. D. Leyburn, gains insight from Dr. Una-
frued that a teacher's duty is not to teach, but to entertain.

At a faculty meeting, Miss Shelley shares her experience and is
met with an enthusiastic response.

Faculty members entertain students with a dramatic (?) reading
of the "Expotition to the North ole."

Members of the A.S.C. ballet group give their unique interpretation
of the "deeper meaning" of Pooh.

The student body and other se
lected guests selected on the
basis of $1.50 were entertained
Jan. 18 by the faculty and staff
of Agnes Scott, impelled, one is
led to believe, by the vision of
Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn.

The very original script was
based on the well-known problem
of teachers who seem detemiined
to teach, for better or worse.

Miss Leyburn, cleverly dis-
guised as Miss Shelley, led in
the effort to clear the cobwebs
from our beloved teachers' eyes
and classrooms, insisting that their
real duty was to entertain, not to
teach.

Miss Margaret Pepperdene,
highly enthusiastic, gave an inter-
pretation of a song and dance,
with encouraging shouts of 'take
if off" from a star-gazer in the
back row.

Later, however, he reformed and
accompanied the lovely pseudo-
soprano voice of Miss Carrie Scan-
drett on the harp.

Other classic performances were
given by Miss Kay Osborne, Miss
Elizabeth Zenn, and Mr. Fred Par-
rish, already reknowned for his
interpretation of deep and mean-
ingful poems.

Mr. Pierre Thomas whiffled and
sniffled chamiingly through a
poem while Mr. Fred Warren dis-
played his concept of art.

More musical entertainment was
provided by several of the faculty
children: Florene Dustan, better
known as "Cuddles," Lee Copple,
who is better known as a result,
Master Freddy Giffin, and those
two darling Franceses Clark and
Harrold.

Also included among the child
prodigies were Mike McDowell in
his first appearance of this sort,
and John (Slim) Tumblin, who
showed definite signs of improper
socialization and seemed to find it
difficult to disengage himself from
his teddy bear long enough to keep
up with the others.

Surely, though, one of the high
spots of the program was that
memorable rendition of the classic
Pooh.

Who can forget the perform-
ances of W. McPooh Alston, Chris-
topher Nelson > Eeyore McNair,
"Rabbit" Fox, oV piglet Richard-
son, and Kanga Hagopian.

And who would try to forget

The independent coDege 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.

Jackets Buzz Scotties;
Bloomers Bounce Back

By SUSAN STEVENS

Excitement and anticipation
were at a peak when the blushing
and demure lassies from Agnes
Scott met the rough and ready
men from Georgia Tech in A.S.C.'s
annual homecoming volleyball
game last Friday night.

While the fans breathlessly
waited for the buzzer to start the
contest between brains and brawn,
cheers were yelled for the favored
team (Agnes Scott, that is) and
also for the visitors who needed
extra moral support before their
"big game."

As the bloomered ladies warmed
up and heard a pep talk from their
shy coach, Miss Kate McKemie,
the Yellow Jackets were being pre-
pared by their Coach Carling for
the seige.

At the same time, the referees
were making out (rules of course)
in the other corner. They were
Miss Kay Manuel, master of phy-
sical arts at Agnes Scott, and
Larry Morris^ celebrated line-
backer for the Chicago Bears.

Then buzzzzz and the game
had begun. "Jump, girls! Up,
up, up!" urged Miss McKemie.
While from the other side Coach
Carling bellowed, "Come on, Davis,
keep your eyes on the ball! Watch
out, Martin, stay on your side of
the net!"

After the first period of rigor-
ous action, Tech needed a rest.
Thus the opportunity arose for the
Agnes Scott marching band to per-
form for the delighted crowd.
,Led by Lynn Miller, who was very
easy to follow, the band executed
precision drills and difficult for-
mations.

An unexpected addition to the
band was Tech guitarist, Billy
Lothridge, whose name is some-
times connected with the Yellow
Jackets.

Also during the time out for
Tech, Billy Martin and his fellow
volleyball players did their own
version of "Two Bits," accompa-
nied by cheers from enthusiastic
onlookers.

Game time came again, and Ag-

to offset Tech's first win.

Alas! Nothing to it especially
with the help of three of Tech's
men, Doug Cooper, Dave Simmons,
and Dave Suell. The second period
ended with a victory for A.S.C!

Highlighting the entire spectacle
was the presentation of the Home-
ly Coming King and his court.
Their beautiful escorts were
as follows: John Hayes and Anne
Foster, Stewart Smith and Becky
Reynolds, Jim Simpson and Sarah
Hodges, Bill George and Eleanor
Lee, Judy Hollingsworth and Tom-
my Tuttle, and finally the King,
Charlie Lock wood escorted by
Becky Vick.

Charlie can now add to his many
other honors the coveted title of

maidens of Never-Never Land.

The coronation was made by the
President of Never-Never Land,
Dr. Alston.

The remainder of the game was
really a free-for-all. It was clearly
evident that everyone thoroughly
enjoyed themselves, especially the
players, lucky girls!

With all kidding aside, we owe
Tech a tremendous debt of grati-
tude.

The Yellow Jackets were not
only great volleyball players, but
wonderful sports and entertainers
as well.

Certainly the proceeds from the
event were a marked boost to the
campus campaign. However^ the
fun and frolic, laughs and cheers
were enough to spark the entire
effort for the final phase.

Despite past rumors, Agnes
Scott loves Tech!

A A Urges Campus Awareness
Concerning Existence Of Litter

Hub-bub

Date Parlor Crises
Precipitate Tragedy

By

MARTHA

MONTMEAT

Thanks to some keen observa-
tion and shrewd reporting of a
fellow columnist, our world, once
so secure and impregnable, has
been in the most conservative
analysis cracked.

Yes, cracked, shattered^ call it
what you may, but the fact re-
mains that our ignorance, once so
blissful, no longer exists.

But with the passing of naivite,
we have acquired awareness.

As we stand in awe, face to face
with reality, no more and never
again will anyone be able to pull
the wool over our eyes: we have
arrived.

Perhaps our world of illusion
took form because of a tendency
we all have of looking skyward
rather than earthward.

No doubt there are at least
several reasons for this tenden-
cy, but we needn't enumerate
them now.

The point is that we certainly
must have been looking any way
but down, or we all would have
noticed the cracks between and
around each brick in the side-
walks.

More than likely some of us
had noticed this before, but at
long last not only has someone
amongst us brought the issue out
of the dark cloak of secrecy and
into the light of the public eye,
but also has dared to take a stand
on it.

Since last week's issue of this
paper hit the newsstands, there
has been nothing but chaos on
campus.

Everywhere people have been
literally falling all over them-
selves, while trying to check out
this miserable situation for them-
selves.

Needless to say, the A. A. Board
has been swept along in this move-
ment also.

Having directed their vision
right down-to-earth and all,
however, they have sadly noted
an awful lot of litter around
campus.

Now this practice of littering
would hardly constitute a prob-
lem if it merely involved some-
thing in the nature of a study

smoker.

In that case we could simply
say ? "Keep it clean or it will be
closed down."

As you can see, though, we
are dealing with something of a
different nature than a study
smoker.

There seem to be several ways
of handling this. We could say,
"Keep it clean or else!" and hope
that the general mass might be
taken in by the somewhat threat-
ening tone of the command.

It might be more effective, how-
ever, if we could work this com-
mand up into a matter of honor.
There are several more possi-
bilities here. We could start-per-
haps by having the command
printed in all future applications
in the form of a pledge, which
must be signed before the appli-
cant will be considered.
Next, we could issue a some-
what pointed statement to the
present study body, like, "Please
refrain from littering the campus.
(You are on your honor.)" below
a large picture of a prominent
figure on campus, pointing direct-
ly at the reader.

As a last resort, perhaps, we
could organize a campaign in or-
der to raise money to hire help
that would do nothing but keep
the campus free from litter.
(This, as I said, could only
be a last resort ? for it is always
a difficult task to convince peo-
ple of a necessary expense, wor-
thy of contributions.)
The problem with all of these
methods, though, is that instead
of keeping us in our new-found
path back to REAL LIFE and all,
they seem to lead back to the old
world of illusion.

Could it be that some ele-
ments of our present setup are
a bit behind the times?

57 Years In Decatur

Look At Your Shoes

142 Sycamore Street

One of the aspects of the Agnes
Scott ideal, if I remember rightly,
is the social.

Now social implies boys, and
boys imply dates.

Remove yourself for a moment
from this mundane existence, and
think of an all too frequent prob-
lem:

You are campused, and madly
in love with a young man who
is about to be sent to Alaska.
This is his last night in Atlanta.
He has no car, so must ride the
bus out here.

He comes at 7:15 Friday night.
You, dressed in your prettiest
dress and looking as good as pos-
sible, rush down to meet him.

You look at each other with a
poignant look of happiness mixed
with sorrow.

With one accord you rush to
Rebekah. Naturally, no date par-
lor.

Tears are shed.

Next ? you run to Main.

Ditto.

Thus, you go to the stone
bench in the Quadrangle.

There you are, staring at each
other. It starts raining!

Oh, what to do? As a last re-
sort, you go to the Hub.

Fortunately, there's a party in
session. Thousands of screaming
Scotties!
Finally, your friend leaves,
swearing never to come back to
Scott again.

Then for the next seven years
you write each other. One day you

receive a letter telling you that
he has fallen in love with a young
Eskimo maiden. He has found so-
lace in the warm atmosphere of
her igloo.

Back to reality. All of this tragic
story might have been averted if
the Scottie and her young man
could have gotten a date parlor in
which to say their last farewells.

He not only might have re-
membered the girl longer, but
also (and infinitely more im-
portant) might have had a bet-
ter opinion of Agnes Scott.

I think there ought to be a peti-
tion circulated which states that
we will not bear this deplorable
situation much longer.

Either stop giving out campuses,
confine all girls without dates to
their rooms on weekends, or GET
MORE DATE PARLORS.

Ed's. Note Social Council is
working on the problem.

Noted Scientist
Holds Seminar
For Zoologists

Dr. H. E. Lehman, chairman of
the Zoology Department at the
University of North Carolina, will
lead a seminar on our campus
January 30.

Dr. Lehman is also 'the director
of line Bermuda Biological Station,
a marine lab and research station
set up for the investigation of
zoological specimens in the At-
lantic Ocean.

This station, staffed with biolo-
gists from all over the United
Slates, studies the types and dis-
tribution of animals around the
oceanic islands.

Dr. Lehman's seminar on Scott's
campus will be Jan. 30 ait 4:40 p.m.
in 214 Campbell Hall. His topic
will be "Developmental Problems
in the Origin of Biological Speci-
ficity."

Dr. Lehman wil also conduct a
seminar for the Emory Graduate
School of Biology. This seminar will
be held Jan. 29 at 4:50 p.m. His
topic will be "Cellular Interaction
in the Morphogenesis of Pigment
Patterns."

January 30 at 8:00 p.m. Dr|
Lehman will hold an informal con-
ference with (the Georgia State
Biology Department.

Dr. Lehman is expected to
lecture to some of the biology
classes at Agnes Scott while visit-
ing the campus. His visit will also
include informal talks and meals
with biology students here.

Rep Council Decides
To Keep Scott In NSA

Representative Council has voted
that the school remain affiliated
with the National Student Asso-
ciation.

At the last meeting of Rep
Council, Laurie Oakes made the
motion that Scott remain a mem-
ber of NSA.

The motion was seconded and a
discussion followed.

The discussion brought to light
the fact that some of the Rep
Council members feel that NSA is
too politically oriented.

Although NSA is not tied to any
political party (it would lose its
tax exemption if it were), many
people consider it to be definitely
a left-of-center organization.

Last year Scott had one liberal
and one conservative NSA repre-
sentative, both of whom were ap-
pointed by our elected student
government. This year only one
person will represent NSA.

Some members of Rep Council
feel that this will make Scott's
relationship with NSA one-sided.

The vote was 24-6 for Agnes
Scott to remain affiliated with
NSA.

Sophs' Weekend
Attracts Parents

By MARILYN LITTLE

PLAN WEEKEND Sophomore Class President Debbie Rosen
( right) and Secretary-Treasurer Mary Kibler discuss plans for
forthcoming Sophomore Parents' Weekend. They expect about
300 parents.

Leyburn Obtains Grant
For Sabbatical Project

Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn,
Professor of English, will take her
sabbatical leave next year.

She has been offered a fellow-
ship under the auspices of the
American Council of Learned So-
cieties, which offers fellowships
for research projects in all fields
of learning.

When asked the object of her
research project, Miss Leyburn
said that she hoped to write a
critical study of the development
of Henry James's "use of the comic
point of view to enhance the feel-
ing of tragedy" in his works of
fiction.

She commented that in James's
earlier fiction he used comedy to
contrast the tragedy but later
fused the two.

An interesting story lies behind

her initial introduction to James.

When she first came to teach at
Agnes Scott, she was assigned the
works of Henry James to teach
during spring quarter.

As she had never studied James
before, she, needless to say, imme-
diately began an intensive study of
his works.

She found that his profound
moral sense and great powers to re-
veal human life gave value to
everything he wrote. Consequent-
ly, she became one of his great
admirers and is to this day.

Miss Leyburn will do mos t of her
work here at Agnes Scott, but will
spend several months at Harvard
University consulting the manu-
scripts of James's letters and note-
books in the Houghton Library.

Sophomore Parents Weekend,
that great life-saver of the Slump
Year, is rapidly approaching.

2 # THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, January 29, 1964

Bold Look At Morals

A recent article in a leading international magazine has
somehow struck very close to home.

The article discussed a topic which, as far back as I can
remember, has been a favorite on this campus, sex.

However, as was pointed out in the article, this is a subject
that has become a nation-wide topic not only in conversation
but in literature, the theater and even in government.

A few of us still have the grace to blush now and then if
a particularly intimate detail is mentioned, especially in
mixed company, but often even this reaction is forced to
save what little air of innocence we have left.

Although one would never wish to ignore or minimize
the importance of this subject we cannot help but feel that
such constant and, often times, sensational references to
sex are unnecessary.
It is fairly well recognized that college women know or
ought to know most of the present-day information on this
subject.

For a woman of today who is enjoying the benefits of
higher education to remain ignorant of the details involving
sex is stupid and highly impractical.

Even to appear ignorant of this subject shows obvious
hypocrisy.

But in the same manner we can condemn the flagrant
abuse of this subject that can distort the real meaning and
importance of sex.

The article to which I referred earlier suggested that as
a result of today's preoccupation with sex the moral re-
strictions of the college group have been greatly loosened.
We will not nor do we wish to take Agnes Scott out of
this category.

There is only one thing which will protect us from being
overly influenced by this new sexual revolution and it is
not a religious sermon.

Only a broad education including a reasonable fund of
information on the subject of sex will enable us to difffer-
entiate between the cheap and sensational aspect of sex and
the truly valuable qualities therein.

We are probably the best equipped of our generation
to make this distinction.
If we fail to do so we will have no one to blame but our-
selves and we will be the ones to pay.

No externally enforced restrictions will mold our moral
scruples. This task is one of many that is ultimately left to
our own judgment.

The time of reckoning is here and decisions must be
made without further delay.
We must pool all of our education, formal and otherwise,
and use it, never forgetting the gravity and the sincerity
which this situation calls for. S. Pockel

Elections

Elections have long been a problem at Agnes Scott.
Candidates seem afraid to say which of the often dozens
of positions they particularly feel qualified to hold.

This fear, of course, often stems from the fact that they
feel they will lose the election for that particular office and
thereby practically eliminate themselves entirely.

Then, too, one must not appear too eager in cases like
this.

Although one may know that she is qualified and is defi-
nitely the best person for the job, she hesitates because of
the stigma against believing strongly in oneself.

All this has been said time and again by this newspaper
in an attempt to frighten or cajole students into express-
ing themselves freely prior to and during election week.
This year we of the News have taken a definite step. Dur-
ing the next few weeks our assistant editors and other juniors
serving on our staff will publish one of the newspapers.

The present editors will sit back, smile smugly and read
Wednesday the finished product.

This will enable the student body to judge beforehand the
type of newspaper each of the prospective editors will publish.
Of course, the finished product should not be the sole
criterion for judging at election-time, but at least it will
inform the students to a greater extent than ever before.
By the standards of other colleges, the process of electing
publication editors in a campus-wide election seems almost
barbaric. However, students and administration have been
unable to solve the problem.

We sincerely hope that this loosening: of secrecy of elec-
tion positions will aid the situation and eventually lead to
an even more satisfactory solution. N. B.

Dear Editor,

A car stopped in front of Main
Hall on Friday night, Jan. 24, 1964,
at 11 p.m.

The man within sat looking at
the old brick structures on the
small campus, perhaps marveling
that any institution could retain
as much of its tradition amid its
progress in the changing world.

Perhaps he had heard of the
clays when a young man calling on
a student at Agnes Scott did so
by sitting in one of the large, fore-
boding parlors in this imposing
building, discussing the weather
and current events under the
watchful eye of the ever present
chaperone from the ranks of the
dean's staff.

Perhaps he had heard of the
steps forward the small school had
taken to meet the pace of the
present day. Perhaps he knew of
the revisions which had recently
been made in the infamous drink-
ing policy for which the school had
in years past been noted or the
work in progress that very night
on the likewise outdated apart-
ment policy.

Surely as his eyes wandered
across the darkened brick build-
ings Main, Inman, Rebekah
his thoughts turned to the highly
publicized campaign in which the
college had) lately engaged for the
purpose of adding to and improving
its facilities.

He certainly thought of the at-
tractive new dormitory he had
passed as well as the work he had
seen in progress toward the modern
fine arts building.

Yes, the young ladies' seminary
had truly become a modern col-
lege.

And, he probably mused, the
beautiful part was that it had not
paid for its rise in status the price
of its rich heritage. The man
settled himself and waited, his
mind occupied.

Inside Main Hall a scene of an-
other sort was being enacted. Two
senior girls had recently asked
pel-mission to use the telephone in
the dean of students' office, ex-
plaining that their car had given
out of gasoline in front of Decatur
High School, one block from the
college.

Permission was granted and the
22 year old students called a near-
by filling station. Arrangements
were made for the gasoline to be
furnished and for the attendant to
drive by Agnes Scott to take the
girls to their car.

The senior then explained the
plans to the dean's staff member,
who was completely horrified at
the thought of the two seniors
riding with the strange filling sta-
tion at tendant the block to Decatur
High School and promptly demand-
ed that the seniors get someone
else to go with them.

So as one waited in the office,
the other ran to the Hub and
brought back a third senior to ride
with them.

When the three seniors present-
ed themselves in the dean's office
this time, the lady explained that
it was still an unsafe situation, and
rather than take undue chances,
she felt it necessary to require that
they have masculine accompani-
ment.

Disgruntled, the seniors ran to
the television room in Main and
asked a junior and her date (a
senior at Georgia Tech) to ride
with them and the unknown filling
nation attendant the block to get
the car.

Bare Facts

Winter quarter evokes, for most of us, probably the
dreariest connotations imaginable. This is the time when the
rains depress us, the worms repulse us, and the work over-
whelms us.

Unfailingly, some demonic force torments us by creating
beautiful weather ONLY during the week.

Yet, this quarter has been somewhat brighter than most
previous ones. The Campus Campaign provided two weeks
of entertainment and fun. Basketball season promises to
produce excitement and rivalry.

But in spite of this bright beginning, it is almost inevi-
table that Sophomore Slump and "transferitis" will soon
make their traditional appearances at A. S. C.

Why do these goblins plague us every winter? A current
theory is that Atlanta's rains do not seem to enhance our
campus, indeed, they seem to point up its ugly spots.

So, following this strictly logical train of thought ,one
soon comes to the conclusion the "Life at A. S. C." might be
made less wearisome if students were provided with more
aesthetic surroundings.

Innumerable examples spring into mind, but we shall
confine ourselves to a few.

Since our Campus Campaign exceeded its goal, it seems
reasonable to suggest that at least a small sum be used
to plant larger and better quality shrubs around the build-
ings in order to offset their stark and foreboding facades.

Also, we would like to suggest an all-out campaign (an area
in which we usually excel) to cover the campus bare spots
with healthy, green grass. This accomplishment alone would
be a vast improvement.

Finally, we would like to mention the fact that there are
about 600 frustrated nature lovers here who, every spring,
are forced to migrate to other parts in order to observe
Mother Nature's beauty. It does seem a pity that we have
such a small quantity of flowering trees.

I If Agnes Scott is destined to take a major part in the
future of Southern Education, she must provide not only
an excellent physical plant, but also an appealing appear-
ance. And if the two are to complement each other, they
should be planned simultaneously. M. L. L.

They graciously consented, and
returning to the dean's office, the
two Scott seniors, the one Scott
junior, and the one Tech senior
presented themselves to the staff
(which, in light of the unusual
situation, had increased itself to
two members).

After brief consultation the two
ladies reached the decision that
even this was a larger risk that
should be run, and much against
the repeated protests of the humi-
liated seniors and the amused
junior, the lady took her whistle,
walked to (the back steps of Main,
and whistled for the campus police-
men.

When both had appeared, the de-
cision was made that one of them
ride with the two seniors and the
strange filling station attendant to
get the car which was sitting quite
in view from the Scott campus.

Needless to say the seniors were
completely dismayed, but the ladies
were no longer uncertain about the
safety of their students.

As the third member of the
dean's staff walked into Main, she
sighed and commented thankfully
of the campus policeman, "He's a
father to us all."

Back to the man patiently mus-
ing in his car. When he saw the
two girls he had come for, he
moved the container of gasoline
from the front seat and opened
the door.

When he discovered that the
campus policeman had been dele-
gated to accompany the girls, he
revealed that the car was not large
enough for three more people, so
one senior turned and walked back
up the steps of Main as the other
senior and her escorts drove off,
the filling station attendant shak-
ing his head and probably revising
his thoughts about Agnes Scott's
progress in the world of today.

Having a chaperone sit in the
parlor while a student's visitor
talked with her was mild in com-

parison to sending a fully uniform-
ed policeman with her to ride one
city block!

Dear Editor, this little drama,
as fanciful as it sounds, is not a
figment of my imagination.

This is intended as a true ac-
count of actual events, the only de-
parture from straight fact being
the thoughts of the filling station
attendant (and this is indicated
by "perhaps" and "probably".)

If any verification of this ac-
count is sought, it can by given
directly by any of the three mem-
bers of the dean's staff involved
( two of whom were on official duty
that Friday night), by the two both
shocked and amused seniors on
hostess duty in Main at the time,
by the two night watchmen on
duty, and by the three seniors and
the junior who were understand-
ably at patience's end.

This is a plea to the student
body to let itself be heard in one
united effort concerning not just
this one incident but the others of
similar caliber which occur each
week.

This is a plea also to the-powers-
that-be to be receptive to the
voice of the students as they pro-
test such antiquated behavior in
the face of the social freedom the
rulebooks assert.

This is not the first nor will it be
the last, of such incidents until
common sense is exercised on both
sides and respected by each when
exhibited by the other.

Just as the students must re-
spect the sense of responsibility
the administration and staff feel
for them, so much the responsible
people realize that they are not
dealing with students drastically
deficient mentally, physically, or
morally.

Please, as we expand physically
and financially, let us grow in-
wardly in the way ultimately more
important.

A Concerned Senior.

Abusing Cut Privilege
Threatens Academics

By SUE KEITH-LUCAS

It's 8:20 a.m. when you roll over
to realize that your roommate for-
got to reset the alarm and class
starts in ten minutes.

If it's a usual grey winter quar-
ter day, what is your reaction?
Roll over and go back to sleep,
of course.

You can always get the notes
you missed from someone else.
And besides, that class is usual-
ly dull.

And you haven't really done
your assignment so that if you
are called on you'll just make a
fool of yourself. Good thing Ag-
nes Scott has unlimited cuts.

Which is also handy when you
miss breakfast and it's Wednes-
day morning so you can't have a
brunch break during chapel.

Since you couldn't possibly
hold out 'till noon, Watson's at
11:10 is the only answer.
Or you've had a huge test at
12:10 and so cut all your morning
classes.

Of course yesterday you cut the
12:10 because of the paper at
5 p.m. and the day before it was
the 11:10 that got omitted be-
cause you were exhausted from
the test at 9:30. (It's been a bad
week).

And now, after that introduc-
tion, you probably expect me
(pious old senior that I am) to
say that we ought never to cut.
Which is NOT what I'm going
to say.

But there is something wrong
when a class has only half of its
members present, or when a stu-
dent misses a third of the classes
in a particular course and isn't
sick.

We are allowed the privilege of
"voluntary class attendance"
which means exactly that: class
attendance.

It may be entirely true that
in lecture courses you can get
much of the material from
someone else's notes.
Of course, you'll miss that
famous "dialogue," and you may
lose some brownie points.

You'll also, however, lose the
discipline of being where you're
expected to be, whether you're in-
terested or not.

We've been given a great
amount of freedom as to where
and how we spend our time, cer-
tainly more than we'll have at
nine-to-five jobs after graduation.
Very rarely, however, do we
belong anywhere else at class
time.

Presidential Assistant Peterson
Discusses Views With Editors

By NANCY BRADFORD

If one opens most current mag-
azines or newspapers, the face of
a genteel, finely-dressed, middle-
aged woman stares back.

This vvoman j who has her gray-
ing hair coiled on the back of her
head, is Mrs. Esther Peterson, just
appointed presidential assistant on
economic affairs.

Last week this reporter, with
other newspaper editors from the
\tlanta area, had a chance to ob-
serve this woman in action in a
collegiate press conference at the
U. S. Department of Labor in At-
lanta.

Mrs. Peterson is a long-time
employee of the United States
Government. In addition to her
newly appointed role, she is also
Assistant Secretary of Labor un-
der Williard Wirtz, dealing mostly
in labor standards.

She is presently also head of a
special commission investigating
the economic status of women.
This commission was under the
leadership of Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
velt before her death.

In short, this wife of a foreign
service man and the mother of
three teen-age children is a busy
woman.

Yet, somehow, during her entire
news conference, which was
jammed into an extremely busy
schedule, she never lost her gra-
ciousness nor her idealism.

When asked about the future
for a graduate of a liberal arts

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

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

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

AGNES SCOn COLLEGE

Founded 1889

An independent liberal arts college for women of highest rank
academically, located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

college like Agnes Scott, Mrs.
Peterson replied that she often
hears top executives begging for
such women. Of course, she ad-
mitted, additional training is
needed.

Who should pay for this addi-
tional training? Mrs. Peterson
favors governmental assistance,
since she feels that often the peo-
ple involved cannot afford it nor
can industry.

She feels that governmental aid
should continue past the high
school level and favors the pres-
ent move in Congress to supply
college scholarships to qualified
and needy students.

Community colleges which are
appearing across the country in-
cluding, possibly, Decatur within
the next few years, Mrs. Peterson
sees, as one of the alleviating fac-
tors in the approaching higher
education, space shortage.

"Society is built for people, not
for things." With this philosophy
in mind, the presidential assistant
advocates governmental steps to
all but alleviate unemployment.

When asked about make-work
rules, she replied that they are
not always bad but should not be
employed until it is evident that
the economy cannot take care of
the unemployment.

This is possible. The three per
cent unemployment rate which is
the aim of the present administra-
tion is still too high, she feels.

"There should be a chance for
every person who wants a job to
be able to get one."

Problems of the consumer are,
however, her immediate worries.
Delving into advertising, Mrs.

Campus Donations
Hit Over $85,000

The campus answered Agnes
Scott's "$64,000 Question" with
the greatest of ease.

As of last Monday afternoon, the
grand total stood at $85,907. Mr.
Edward McNair, Director of Pub-
lic Relations and Development,
says that, as he is still receiving
pledges from the 1960 campaign,
this "grand total" of the '64 effort
will be under constant revision
for at least the rest of this year.

The Seniors won the campaign
for having the most per capita
rating and the greatest percentage
of shares among the classes. In-
cluding their $2,000 prize money,
their final total was $18,095.22.

The Freshman class, though,
actually accumulated the greatest
amount of money by its pledges.
Along with the $1,000 award, the
phenomenal total was $18,227.10.

The Sophomores entered into
the campaign with the most en-
thusiasm, according to the judges.
For their spirit they were awarded
$1,000 to make their final total
$15,718.68.

The faculty's grand total, with-
out any prize money included, was
$17,219.95.

The campus campaign was but
the final effort to finance Agnes
Scott's 11 million dollar develop-
ment program announced in 1955.
With the campus success the final
total for the 11-year campaign
will be over 12 million dollars.

MRS. ESTHER PETERSON

Peterson proclaimed that often
pictures on packages were highly
misleading. She plans to investi-
gate the more flagrant violations
of the Federal Trade Commis-
sion's laws on advertising.

However, she does not plan any
direct action.

"I believe in giving people the
truth," she says, "then they can
make up their own minds. I don't
believe in forcing anybody to do
anything."

In her function as presidential
assistant for giving people "the
truth," Mrs. Peterson will soon
move her office into the White
House.

In talking exclusively to the
News concerning this matter, she
said that she did not really know
where her office would be, but it
will probably be in the same wing
that the President of the United
States has his office.

Art, Tag, School Interest
Energetic Senior Mascot

By SALLY POCKEL

That attractive young creature
with deep brown eyes and mellow
complexion, who has no doubt
been observed around campus giv-
ing moral support to our aging
seniors, at last consented to an ex-
clusive interview with a highly
discrete member of the Agnes
Scott News.

She is none other than Sarah
Francis Tumbiin, who has been
known to exercise no little
authority in the sociology depart-
ment.

Miss Tumbiin has graciously con-
sented to become the 1964 senior
mascot, a highly coveted position
in the Agnes Scott student body
and one which requires such quali-
ties as only someone of Sarah's
calibre could provide.

Sarah is excellently qualified for
her honored position.

She has reached the mature age
of five years, carries the nursery
school degree and is now hard at
work in kindergarten.

She finds art the most stimulat-
ing of her subjects, but she recog-
nizes the worth of math and is
busy familiarizing herself with
the subject of counting.

However, even with all her aca-
demic endeavors she finds time for
the domestic side of life.

Santa Claus was kind enough to
give her a tea set and other essen-
tials such as pot and pans and as
soon as Daddy builds that much
needed oven Sarah will be allowed
to express another of her many
and varied talents.

Miss Tumbiin is particularly in-
trigued with the modern telephone
and finds it extremely useful in
contacting her school friends for
informal discussion sessions after
school.

Even after a long day at school,
(9 a.m. to 12 Noon), she finds
time to brush up on the latest
sketching methods and hear a few
adventure stories in order to
broaden her fund of information.

During moments of relaxation
she indulges in such physical ex-
ercies as hopscotch and tag, that
is, whenever the snow doesn't in-
terfere.

Miss Tumbiin has been blessed
with two brothers and an older
sister.

Anita, who is ten and rapidly
approaching eleven, is an extreme-
ly mature and charming lady and
has a somewhat serious nature.

Jack, eight years old, is a bud-
ding young chemist, and although

he shows the utmost confidence in
his work, we feel that Winship
dormiory should be fairly warned!

This, of course, brings us to the
subject of Billy. This young gen-
tleman is two years of age and
bears all the delightful attributes
of that age group. Need we say
more?

Miss Tumbiin has noticed that
Billy has an almost uncontrolable
attraction for a certain black cat
familiar to all Scotties and for
this reason she has had no little
difficulty in maintaining its safety.

Nevertheless, to date she has
handled the situation with extra-
ordinary competence and finesse
and she has our complete confi-
dence in regard to this rather deli-
cate situation.

So far Sarah has been of im-
measurable help to the seniors.

She intimated to me that it
was through her efforts that the
senior hockey team achieved as
much success as it did and she also
hinted that she was in large part
responsible for the winning of the
black cat.

With such meritorious accom-
plishments to her credit the future
looks bright indeed. The seniors
are most grateful for all Miss
Tumblin's efforts and look forward
to her support in the future.

MASCOT Sarah Tumbiin
takes time out from her active
schedule for exclusive inter-
view with roving NEWS re-
porter.

Leak Enchances Basketball;
Badminton Tourney Begins

By MARTHA MONTMEAT

All of us, I think, realize that
here at Scott we have a unique
way of doing just about every-
thing we do the basketball game
last Friday being no exception.
And so it was, for the most part,
those from without the walls who
were somewhat confused by the
yellow towels on the floor during
the game.

This was simply a matter of ab-
sorbing the water (it was raining
outside) coming in from the roof,
in order to prevent its ruining
the floor. As you can well imagine,
the game's excitment was terribly
enhanced by these extra-added
handicaps.

Thrilling, must have been the
comment on everyone's lips as
they watched the game being
played on what looked more like
an obstacle course than a
basketball court.

The final scores show the
Seniors and Juniors to have been
the victors over the Sophomores
and the Freshmen by 29-16 and

No. 14

R. E. Week To Introduce
Vatican Observer Outler

ALBERT C. OUTLER

Dr. Albert C. Outler, Professor
of Theology at Southern Metho-
dist University, will speak on
"Christian Morale and Christian
Morality" during Religious Empha-
sis Week, Feb. 10-14.

Dr. Outler is an Elder in the
Methodist Church and once
preached in the South Georgia
Conference. Since 1951, he has
been professor of theology at
SMU.

He has been a delegate to many
international church conferences.

Dr. Outler has published num-
erous articles and several books,
including Psychotherapy and the
Christian Message and The Chris-
tian Tradition and the Unity We
Seek. Copies of these books are in
the Agnes Scott Library.

Monday night, Dr. Outler will
give a lecture on the Second Vati-
can Council to which he was an
official delegate-observer. He will
show some slides of the meeting.

After his presentation, there will
be a question and answer session.

Dr. Outler's chapel topics will
be as follows: Tuesday, "Footloose
and Fancy-Free"; Wednesday, "The

Basketball, Chapels, Dolphin Show
To Highlight Sophomore Week-end

Sophomore Parents' Weekend,
another one of Scott's fine old ivy-
covered traditions in honor of the
sophomores' fine old ivy-covered
parents, will be held this week-
end, Feb. 7, 8, and 9.

With Debbie Rosen, B. J. Brown,
and Mary Kibler as the steering
committee, parents will be steered
into various and sundry events.

Highlights of the week end will
include a basketball game between
sophomores and juniors; a Dol-
phin Club Water Show, which
will undoubtedly be the only wet
part of the weekend; and an Arts
Program in chapel.

Open House will be held for
sophomores and their parents and
teachers Friday afternoon on Win-
ship terrace. Rumor, and not a
few students, has it that Winship
was chosen to show parents part
of what all that money is going
for.

Parents are urged to attend
classes during their stay. This, at
first glance, would appear to be
cruel and unusual punishment, for
I know at least one parent who
has looked forward with glee to
many years without formal edu-
cation.

On the other hand, however, it
may have a most ameliorating
effect when certain sophomores
take home certain grades with
great uncertainty.

The luncheon Saturday in honor
of the parents became a subject
of great debate. Suggested for the

By KAREN AUSTIN

meal was baked potato, but a
moan of "My mother's dieting;"
was heard around campus.

Also suggested were a cranberry
salad and a V-8 cocktail, red being
the color of the sophomore class,
but those of a taste more aesthetic
than culinary felt that the reds
would clash too badly.

As a result of all this contro-
versy, it was decided to again rely
on tradition, a surprise meal by
the Scott cafeteria.

Parents will most definitely be
entertained by the Saturday
chapel program, which will includ
dramatic readings, dances, and mu-
sic, all centered around folk music.

The object of the program is to
reveal to parents something of the
true natures of their daughters, a
point which they are probably
most anxious to have clarified.

At one point, directly after a
most touching account of a young
girl who freezes to death, the nar-
rative returns to the theme of the
long life to which we all look joy-
ously forward.

This is, no doubt, intended to
illustrate the paradoxical nature of
woman.

Sunday was created, it is said,
as a day of rest ; it might be better
termed from the standpoint of the
parents a day of recuperation.

We welcome them with open
arms and empty pocketbooks.

Dr. Outler says that his purpose
during the week will be "to ana-

Student Committee
Welcomes Petitions

Nominating Committee will con-
sider petitions from individuals
or groups for particular elected
positions this year.

In the group's first meeting
Thursday, members considered the
fact that campaigning for offices
of the school has gone on, al-
though rather secretly.

Therefore, they decided in order
to open elections further, they
would inauguate a system of peti-
tioning whereby an individual who
feels that she is qualified for a
particular elected position (from
student body president to Repre-
sentative Council member or any
other position) could petition the
group to consider her for the
job.

Included in the petition should
be, the committee said, a state-
ment of qualities which qualify
her for this office and the reasons
which led her to petition.

In addition, any group can peti-
tion Nominating Committee to
consider an individual the group
feels is qualified.

The committee stressed the fact
that all petitions must be signed.
They will be confidemfcial, and a
petition does not assure the appli
cant that she will receive a noml
nation.

However, the committee said
that pouplar nominations are al-
ways held after the committee an-
nounces its slate and those who
did not receive a committee nomi-
nation are still eligible for a popu-
lar nomination.

In addition, the committee said
that it could consider persons for
offices who had not petitioned.

Student Curriculum

Agnes Scott's newly organized
Student Cun^iculum Committee
feels that students' knowledge of

how it works should be stimulated.

In order to aid the work of the
Curriculum Committee, Dean Kline
will speak in chapel Thursday,
Feb. 6.

He will talk about the school
curriculum, how it has grown and
developed, and what considerations
are involved in setting up a
school's aggregate course of study.

He will also cover such topics
as the manner in which subjects
are distributed in Agnes Scott's
curriculum, and the concentration
of work in the student's major
field of study.

Dean Kline will also discuss how
the Agnes Scott course of study
relates to the curriculum of other
schools.

Requiem For A Hub

The Agnes Scott student has often been criticized for
isolating herself from "the world outside," but never has
isolation inside the walls been quite as obvious as it is this

year.

The Hub, once the center of the campus, is now a meeting
place only for the few who still know how to enjoy it. The
rest of us select our favorite study smoker and live there
for the rest of the year.

The study smoker is certainly the place for study, but
the Hub should be the place for recreation. We seem to be
recreating in smaller and smaller groups.

We form our own little cliques, and then we never want to
leave them. We have our own special meeting places where
intruders en masse are not welcome.

"It's not that we don't like other pople," we say; "it's just
that we don't have much in common with them." This state-
ment may be true, but it is also true that many of us are very
limited in our knowledge of others because of this attitude.

The Hub (except for the Hootenanny in the far corner)
now seems to be dead most of the time. Not long ago it
was the center of activity on this campus. Is there such a
center now? J.K.

Optimists, Emerge!

Certain groups on campus are immediately recognized as
those who are not "happy" at Agnes Scott. They are those who
cannot remember a single good reason that they applied to
Scott.

They are sophomores who wouldn't come back "if you
paid me," juniors who were "crazy not to have transferred
last year," and seniors who "can't wait to get out of this
place."

The girls are easily recognized because they so
generously share their views with all who will listen.

The Agnes Scott News is a popular outlet for such opinions;
by-lined columns and letters to the editor have in many
cases earned a reputation of cynicism and pessimism for the
News.

The policy of this paper is, of course, to accept and publish
all letters and to give free rein to the writers of Hub-Bub,
Roun Town, and Tempo.

If anyone feels that only one side, and that side negative,
is being offered, it is because only negativists have cared to
make their opinions known.

Are the criticisms valuable, or are they merely criticisms
for criticism's sake? This would seem to be the first con-
sideration.

Many famous Scottie pessimists do have a point sometimes.

Secondly, we can take steps to eliminate the admittedly
unbearable situations. Do those boards and committees
which arc supposedly helping the students read and act
on the suggestions made in the News?

As for unnecessary criticism, it can be overwhelmed by
positive student opinion, if only that majority will raise its
voice.

Students are condemning those who poison enthusiastic
minds with cynicism; are they not more disgusting who
assent with silence? D. P.

Dear Editor,

A car stopped in front of Main
Hall on Friday night, Jan. 24,
1964, at 11 p.m.

The driver was a stranger to
Agnes Scott, and a stranger in
fact to the one who had sent him
on his mission. The service sta-
tion (attendant had been alone
when called by a us, a pair of drip-
ping wet Scotties, whose mode of
transportation was waiting in
front of Decatur High School with
a very dry gas tank.

Our benefactor just happened
to be getting his ancient panel
truck serviced, and he replied in
the affirmative to the shout from
the station agent. Yes, he'd tote
some gas to a couple of maidens in
distress.

These three things were going
on at once: the junior was in the
Hub routing out a third Scottie
to ride in the man's car; the senior
was shattering peaceful dates in
Main's date parlors as she looked
for a beau with a car; the man
drove up in front of Main; and the
dean's office ladies called the
campus police.

All concerned found the situa-
tion more amusing than exasperat-
ing. And we would not like the
campus to know of the incident
solely from last week's "report,"
written at the expense of the
dean's staff.

The impression the gas man
made here, as he stood waiting on
the porch of Main, is as important
in our tale as last week's letter
felt his thoughts about our col-
lege to be. It was the decision of
the policeman that we girls
now three in number not go
with the man.

Even though the situation was
handled somewhat awkwardly
in view of the confused circum-
stances, the rain, and the hour, we
the culprits who neglected to
notice the gas gauge would like to
express appreciation for the assis-
tance and concern of the dean's
staff and policemen.

Dear Editor,

For their efforts in the campus
campaign the students here were
rewarded with a holiday. Look-
ing back, we wonder just how
generous the reward was.

Late time limit on Sunday night
remained 11:00, despite the fact
that it would have been a per-
fect night to stay out later. The
extra sleep was necessary, as it
turned out, since reserve books
were still due at 8:30 and break-
fast was served at the regular
early time.

Students working on service
scholarship in the dining hall,
library, and on switchboard work-
ed as usual, many of them as ear-
ly as 7 :30.

The library staff, dining hall
staff, and dean's office staff work-
ed as usual.

Freshmen, sophomores, and up-
perelassmen with Saturday classes
used the holiday to provide the
much needed rest from constant
pressure, the rest which Agnes
Scott has still not recognized as
indispensable.

To those girls who were able
to enjoy the holiday, and to those
members of the staff and ad-
ministration who were allowed to,
congratulations. Too many of us
could not.

Would it not have been better
to give us the Monday after

Crisis To Disaster

The college group of one of Atlanta's Presbyterian churches
had the opportunity last week-end to hear an authoritative,
though impromptu, analysis of the Panamanian crisis.

Two students from Georgia Tech, one a Canal Zonian and
the other, a Panamanian, each presented the respective sides
of the situation which has dominated international headlines
for the past several weeks.

Both boys were extremely well-qualified for their roles.

Jim has been an American in the Canal Zone for all of his
21 years. Bill is the son of the President of Panama. His
family has played a very prominent part in Panamanian
politics for the past six generations.

Jim and Bill have been close friends for most of their lives.
Because of their mutual respect and friendly humor, their
arguments were sound and objective, while still very frank
and firm.

There were actually more points of agreement than dis-
agreement.

The treaty establishing the Panama Canal under United
States direction was signed in 1903. For at least three years
the Panamanian flag flew alone as a symbol of sovereignty.

Approximately 80% of Panama's economy depends upon
the operation of the canal.

Because of this acknowledged need, the United States has
steadily, though not maliciously, gained control of the Pana-
ma Canal.

Until a few years ago only the American flag was flown
in the Zone.

Acquiescing to the understandable resentment of the Pa-
amanians, it was decided that neither flag would be flown
in the area.

The American students who precipitated the flag-raising
incident a few weeks ago were trying to fly the American
flag, not take or keep down the Panamanian.

Nevertheless, they were clearly violating an order.

Neither the economic distortion in the Canal's operation,
nor the admirable patriotism of either country's citizens justi-
fied the violation and resulting tensions.

Panama has now been put in an awkward position of
demanding its rights. This is a position it cannot afford.

Panama's side of the matter is based on three points:

First, Panama is the sovereign government of the area in
which the Canal operates. Therefore, its flag should be flown
in recognition of this sovereignty.

Secondly, the Panamanians feel they should be given
monetary benefits from the Canal income in keeping with
the equalitarian terms of the treaty. (In defense of the pres-
ent arrangement, Jim points out that Panama's national bud-
get is still $20 million dollars less than its portion of the
Canal's income).

Thirdly, the wages of Panamanian employees of the Canal
should be equivalent to their occupational status, not to their
nationality. The obvious wage difference amounts to blatant
discrimination, according to the Panamanians.

The U. S. side of this point is filled with the intricacies of
the American economic and taxing system.

Jim also points out the dangers of inter-Panamanian social
implications if that country's Zone employees were raised
noticeably above the rest of the citizens in economic status.

Both boys agree that the treaty must be re-negotiated. Bill
emphasizes the necessity of keeping a united front in face
of the ''common enemy": Soviet Russia and party, we assume.

Panama does not want the Canal itself. ("We are not
prepared for it," Bill stresses). The country merely wants
a more representative voice in the operation of the CanaL

As a whole, America has few stauncher allies that the
people and government of Panama.

The Canal has no better place to be than its present loca-
tion.

Realizing these three facts, it seems to us that only
America is in a position to alter the recent tightening of

tensions.

Re-negotiation is inevitable.

If it does not come soon, the "Panamanian Crisis" will
cease to be a mere headline that those of us in the States
read for Current Events class. It will necessarily become an
incalculable disaster for both countries. S. Prescott

Easter, when we could spend East-
er Sunday with our families and
be free from all obligations to the
school?

We have been told that this
would pose /too many oonplica-
tions. We have never known any-
thing to stand in the way of the

school's doing what it set its mind
to raising several million dol-
lars, for instance.

Our reward leads us <to say, why
cannot those who asked us to be
generous be as generous witih
us?

Have you ever noticed one of
Agnes Scott's strangest phenome-
na?

The dining nail line grows longer
in front of you instead of behind.
Now, unless you're facing the
wrong direction, surely this is
curious.

There are other, equally in-
triguing mysteries.

The main steps in Buttrick have
a fascination for conversationalists
unparalleled by any other spot on
campus.

Since these steps meet none
of the criteria for "Pleasant
Places to Stop," not being par-
ticularly well-furnished, lighted,
or private, one can only say
"how bizarre" and try to push
on past the rendez-vous.
Another curiosity is a childlike
fascination, found in all ages, with
the reverberation of long empty
halls or tiled bathrooms.

Have you experimented with the
possible variations on your fav-
orite tune recently? (Your room-

In order not to disturb any-
one, however, it's wise to choose
a time where there are few
people around such as 2 or 7
a.m.

One might also marvel that Ag-
nes Scott has not had any fatali-
ties from the prevalent disease,
telephonitis.

Surely addiction to 45-minute
conversations and midnight local
calls received on the pay phones,
coupled with such a violent re-
action to answering calls, must
have dire medical consequences.

Such curious events have a
habit of accumulating during
winter quarter.

Is it any wonder that, surround-
ed by these daily phenomena, we
are all especially cheerful and con-
cerned for the welfare of others?

Thursday, February 13, to talk
with students who are interested
in the Peace Corps.

She will speak in Mr. Tumblin's
Anthropology class is 219 Butt-
rick at 9:30, and in Mrs. Stack's
Education class in 3 Buttrick at
11. The latter lecture will be "Op-
portunities for Teachng in the

"There's nothing to do but
study . . ." is an all too familiar
complaint around Scott. The hard
seed truth in it is downright grim.

But one good way to escape "the
horns of our dilemma" is to go to
the show. And this week we are
indeed blessed in having good ones
available.

If your taste runs toward live
drama, why not try the Academy
or Pocket Theatres, which offer
very convenient student rates?

At the Academy is "The Fanta-
s ticks." This revival of the famous
Off -Broadway musical is very well
done. The music is unforgettable
in its freshness, although the
voices of some of the characters
lack training.

However, for its blend of satire
and romanticism, bright comedy
and serious verse, "The Fanta-
sticks" is one of the most reward-
ing and unusual events that have
been presented here recently.

Now showing to SRO crowds at
the Pocket Theatre is "Oh Dad,
Poor Dad . . ." This off-beat Off-
Broadway comedy is delightful.

The play moves quickly and
effectively from beginning to end,
and the cast is excellent.

A visit to the Pocket would
guarantee a very entertaining
evening.

Currently at Emory is the Sec-
ond Annual Creative Arts Festival.

Friday night Cannonball Adder-

After a long season of such

"The Wheeler Dealers," etc., it
would seem refreshing to have
such a deep drama as the "Vic-

But Time, Newsweek, and other

panned this anti-war spectacular.

So perhaps the best feature of it
is the cast: dozens of good-looking

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

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

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

AGNES SCOn COLLEGE

Founded 1889

An independent liberal arts college for women of highest rank
academically, located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.

On February 23, "Le Treteau
de Paris", a company of French
actors, will present the play
"L'Alouette" (The Lark) by Jean
Anouilh at 8:30 p.m. in Gaines
Auditorium.

The Alliance Francaise of At-
lanta, an organization composed of
French people as well as those in-
terested in French, is sponsoring
the play. The presentation at
Agnes Scott will be the group's
only performance in Atlanta.

The recreation of "L'Alouette"
by the company has been under the
supervision of Anouilh himself.

The play, which deals with the
Life of Joan of Arc, is based on
historical fact.

Luce Vincent, who plays the role
of Joan of Arc in the production,

studied at the Drama Centre of
the Rue Blande, one of the most
important drama schools in
France.

She was selected for the part by
Anouilh over a number of well-
established actresses of the Paris
stage.

Three French 103 classes and
eleven French 101 classes are read-
ing the play at the present time.

A reception will follow the per-
formance in order that faculty,
students, and guests may meet the
cast.

Junior and senior French majors
will serve as ushers at the play
and hostesses at the reception.

Tickets, which will be sold with-
in the French classes and at the
door, are priced at $1.50 for stu-
dents and $2.50 for adults.

A A Advises Outer Buttressing;
Wants Identity Through Sports

By

MARTHA

MONTMEAT

But the fact is that we may be
mare 'Buttrick-ed' than buttressed.

Certainly the terms do seem
somewhat synonomous. What's
worse is rthat they sound alike,
and, thus, any confusion over all
of this is quite understandable.

We now may find ourselves
confronted with a problem. Call
this confrontation what you will;
truth, reality, life; nevertheless,
there remains an exciting chal-
lenge behind all of it.

In approaching this problem, we
first ought to consider the terms,
' "within" and "without."

We may indeed be within and
without of Buttrick at any given
time, but how much of the time
are we really buttressed within
and without?

We devote a great deal of
time to discussions of the mean-
ing of being buttressed within
and, therefore, let us now take
a look at what being buttressed
without really means a look,
I might add, that is long over-
due.

We must ask ourselves (since, as
usual, we have here a matter that
is strictly personal) if we really
feel safe, secure and confident
when we are without these 'walls.'

Do we find an "outer" strength
when we leave campus or do we
feel weak-knee- ed, somewhat in-
secure, hot and cold all over with
funny feelings inside?

(This is not meant to be a
'Choose One' test for reactions;
however, if the last reaction is
a familiar one, it may well be
that you are coming down with
something; it might also be that
you simply forgot to wear a
coat. The point is, though, that
this is not always a sure indi-
cation.)

Between the moat effect of the
streets that surround the campus,
which is further enclosed by the
buildings, a much-talked about
atmosphere of protecliveness or
false security is created.

It is certainly easy to use these
physical barrier as crutches.

As we come to depend more
and more on these physical
properties, our own outer
strength diminishes.

In the tradition of Samson in
the temple, let us take a firm
stand to overcome these weak-
nesses and dependencies! Let us
be strong! O, in the words of A. A.,
let us be physically fit.

Through exercise, through par-
ticipation in sports (basketball,
badminton now), we may each
find ourselves physically!

Identity above all. It is, thus,
of secondary importance as to
how we reach this identity. And
as for a catchy phrase for this
new movement, perhaps something
along the line of "The End Justifies
The Means'. . . .

It remains ultimately, though,
an individual sort of thing. Make
up your own mind: will you be
a man or a mouse or a whole
woman?

And speaking of whole women
or nearly whole (or is it nearly
women?), the seniors were quite
victorious over the juniors, 36-8,
in last Friday's basketball game,
as were the sophomores over the
freshmen.

If you missed last Friday's
game, you will, no doubt, be com-
forted to know that there will be
another one this Friday afternoon.
Be sure to come to it better
yet, play in it.

Last, but by no means least,
before you even begin making
plans about the basketball
games, don't forget the annual
Dolphin Club pageant tonight!

Dolphin Production

The Dolphin Club will present a
water show entitled "Kaleido-

The general public is invited to
attend the first performance, but
the latter performance will be pre-
sented only for sophomores and
their parents.

As the name suggests, the show
will be based on color, color,
color!

Each number has a color as its
theme, and the colors range from
red (sexy) to black (eerie).

Hub-bub

Perceptive Scotty Sees
Absence Of Pepsi-Cola

I consider myself one who can
speak with authority on the sub-
ject of soft drinks, as ,alas, all
Scotties can!

As long as the Non-drinking pol-
icy is in effect (and it seems as
though that will be many moons),
all Scott girls by necessity must
quench their thirst with soft
drinks.

Now, this is not in my opinion
the ideal situation, but, none-
theless, it is the status quo. The
soft drink people, no doubt, love
the Non-drinking policy as it in-
creases their revenue.

I propose, therefore, that Agnes
Scott should make a choice: either
change the policy (silly me!) or
do something about the monopoly
the Coca-Cola Company has on
this campus.

I, personally, do not like their
wonderful beverages. Much as it
may sound like heresy, I like
Pepsi-Cola better.

For my first three years at
Scott, this preference did not
bother me. When I wanted to
splurge, I got a Pepsi. When I
felt very diet-conscious, I bought
a Diet Rite Cola (Royal Crown
Bottling Company, and very
tasty, by the way.)

I would like to know why I re-
turned to the hallowed halls last
fall to find my beloved Pepsi and
Diet Rite machines mystically re-
moved from campus?

For all I know, the Pepsi and
Royal Crown companies may have
decided themselves to take away
their goodies. If this be the case,
someone please tell me, and I will
get up a petition to get them back,
if possible.

The more I think of it, this must
have been what happened. Surely,
no one around here is so anti-
Pepsi to insist that these wonder-
ful machines be removed.

Or is there anyone like that
around here? Come on lefs
get them back. Ifs the Ameri-
can way!

DR. VIKTOR FRANKL

Frankl Visits Campus,
To Lecture Feb. 26, 27

By Jennie McMurray

February 26 and 27, Agnes Scott
will be host to the eminent psy-
chiatrist, Dr. Viktor Frankl, M.D.,
Ph.D., whose "logotherapy" is one
of the schools of existential psy-
chiatry.

Dr. Frankl is now professor of
neurology and psychiatry at the
Medical School of the University
of Vienna, head of the Neurologic-
al Department of the Poliklinik
Hospital of Vienna, and president
of the Austrian Medical Society of
Psychotherapy.

Internationally prominent, Dr.
Frankl is a world famous lecturer.
In the United States, he has been
a visiting professor at Harvard,
and has made ten lecture tours of
the country.

He has also been a guest lec-
turer at the Royal Society of Medi-
cine in London, at the University
of Melbourne, at the University of
Buenos Aires, in Ceylon, and in
India.

We are especially privileged in
having Dr. Frankl as a lecturer
because he is coming to the United
States specifically to lecture at
Agnes Scott.

Dr. Frankl has been prominent
in the field of psychiatry from the
beginning.

His first article was published in
1924 at the invitation of Sigmund
Freud in the International Journal
of Psychoanalysis.

His three years experience in
concentration camps (including
those at Auschwitz and Dachau)
have influenced many of his
works.

His book From Death-Camp to
Existentialism was chosen as the
1961-62 "Book of the Year" by
Colby College. Man's Search for
Meaning: is a revised and enlarged
edition of that work.

On February 26, at 8:15 p.m., in
Gaines Chapel, Dr. Frankl will
lecture on "Man in Search for
Meaning."

Students are reminded that ad-
mission to this lecture will be by
ticket only.

An informal coffee for students,
faculty, staff and special guests
will be held in Rebekah Recep-
tion Room after the lecture from
9:15 to 10 p.m. On February 27,
at 10:30 a.m., in Gaines Chapel,
Dr. Frankl will hold a question
and answer period growing out
of the Wednesday night lecture.

Campaign Effort Nets
Over $12,500,000

A total of over $12,500,000 has
been raised by the college during
the past 11-year campaign effort.

The original goal of the college
was $10,500,000. The total rose
due to contributions from various
conditional grants and many
grants from large trust funds. The
challenge grants to the college
amount to more than $2,000,000.

The campaign was begun in July,
1953, although the intensive part
of the campaign did not begin until
the spring of 1960 when a campus
campaign was held.

In both of the campaigns held
on the campus to begin and end
the final effort, over $200,000 has
been pledged by faculty, staff and
students.

During his lifetime, poet Robert
Frost served as honorary chair-
man of the campaign.

Honorary co-chairmen since his
death have been Catherine Marsh-
all LeSourd of Chappaqua, N. Y.,
and John A. Sibley of Atlanta,
both trustees of the college.

Active chairman has been Hal
L. Smith of Atlanta, chairman of
the Board of Trustees.

In announcing the victory, Dr.
Alston said, "The academic life of
the College has never been at a
higher level than it is at this time.
Our faculty is exceedingly able,
and our students, a carefully chos-
en group, are competent and re-
sponsive.

Agnes

"Those of us here at
Scott now are building on a
strong foundation laid by our pre-
decessors and strengthened by

those who have participated in a
recent effort to increase substan-
tially the College's capital assets.

'Tt is our firm purpose to en-
hance the excellence which has
always characterized the college
so that Agnes Scott, because of
her academic stature, became of
her Christian commitment, and be-
cause of her concern for young
people, will continue in the com-
pany of the truly great colleges

of our nation."

The Agnes Scott News is the

first published announcement of
the culmination of the drive.

On Sunday all local newspapers,
all area chairmen for the cam-
paign, presidents of alumnae
clubs, publications of the Presby-
terian Church of the U. S., private
publications serving colleges and
Trustees of the college will release
this information.

Alston, McCain, Gaines Direct
75th Thanksgiving Convocation

In a Thanksgiving Convocation
at Noon today, Dr. Wallace Alston
announced the successful culmina-
tion of an 11-year campaign effort
to raise the assets of the college
by $10,500,000.

The 45 -minute service was de-
signed to begin the formal ob-
servance of the 75th Anniversary
of the college which was founded
first as Decatur Female Seminary
in 1889 through gifts of George
Washington Scott, who was born
on Feb. 22.

Following an academic proces-
sion the congregation of faculty,
students and friends of the college
sang "Come Thou Fount of Every
Blessing."

During the term of Dr. Gaines,
the first president of the college,
this song became the college's
hymn of worship.

Drt Gaines also inaugurated
Psalms 103 as the scriptural pas-

sage of the college.

The Scripture was read by Alex
P. Gaines, grandson of the first
president of Agnes Scott. Gaines,
a lawyer in Atlanta, is also a
member of the Board of Trustees.

After an anthem by the Agnes
Scott Glee Club, Dr. James Ross
McCain, second president of the
College, spoke praising the great

of Agnes Scott to one of the lead-
ing women's colleges.

Dr. McCain ended his talk with
a prayer.

Following Dr. Alston's announce-
ment concerning the campaign, all
present stood and formally re-
dedicated the college to the
"things which matter."

At dinner students received a
piece of a birthday cake in the
shape of a diamond. Dr. Alston
cut the first piece. Miss Hatfield
provided the cake.

Guide To Future

This Anniversary issue of The News is a panorama of
progress. Though some of us complain that "progress" is an
unknown word here, we must admit that occasionally during
the course of 75 years, it has raised its head.

Consequently, now there is very little emphasis put on
our table manners or the neatness of our rooms. Slowly, our
Alma Mater has come to realize that many areas of students'
lives need not concern her.

Agnes Scott has matured, and in the process she has
exchanged most of her early "finishing school" atmosphere
for that of an academic institution.

And naturally, any sort of retrospective vijew of this pro-
cess is humorous. But humor is not only entertaining in its
own right ; it also provides an opportunity for serious inter-
pretation. This is an appropriate year for everyone connect-
ed with this college to evaluate not only its past but its
future.

Agnes Scott is at present a well-endowed institution with
great potential. Academically, she is broad-minded and real-
istic. But, the very mention of the realm of social intercourse
evokes immediate discord.

It is in regard to this area that the most vehement charges
are heard concerning the need for progress and a realistic
outlook. Whether these charges are well-founded or not is
a question which only time can answer.

But meanwhile, the aims of the college must be consid-
ered seriously with respect to its surroundings and its fu-
ture.

If the year 1989 finds the world still spinning, we hope we
can be proud to say we graduated from Agnes Scott, a
truly progressive institution.

There are now (MANY brick

The Anti-Walking Club obvi-

being made to walk, for the girls
were back then, three times a
week.

Today there is no 'Walking

students) appear to be mature

ant because it is Washington's no Hub, the subject towards which

birthday. The sanctity of this day
was brought about by the birth
of one vastly more significant to
the course of human destiny than
a mere President of the United
States.

Our own Col. George Washing-
ton Scott was born on this im-
mortal day.

In tribute, each student, alum-
nae, and "friend" of Agnes Scott
should have a few minutes of
silent meditation, allowing her
soul to commune with this great
personnage who brought so much
cheer and happiness to each of us.

Oh the wisdom and foresight of
this man!

Without him, there would be no
winter quarter at Scott, no basket-
ball games (Seniors winning, of
course), no chance to transfer if
one desires, no chance to reveal
your moral righteousness by refus-
ing that beer or saying "of course
not" to that invitation to the apart-
ment party.

No Saturday classes or science
labs.

No hours spent in the library or
study smoker.

No letters sent home from Dean
Kline or pink slips in the mail 48
hours after a final exam.

No forgetting to sign in or com-
ing in late.

(Thus, no campuses).

I have been leading for quite some
time now.

About the Hub - I like it, as '
is obvious since I spend more time
there than anywhere else.

I think I know how to enjoy
the Hub, even though it has been
pointed out that few people do
any more with the Study Smokers,
etc. I feel that if people had rather
stay in their respective smokers
instead of playing in the Hub, I
say let them.

They obviously don't like to play
anyway. If they are anti-social,
they welcome the opportunity to
stay away from the herd, in their
very own corner of their very
own SS.

We don't like anti-social people
in the Hub. If they don't like the
atmosphere (and I must say I
can't blame them sometimes) then
they should not be coerced to
enter.

People w T ho want to make honor
roll also should stay away. At
least, I hear that when people
decide they want good grades they
find that burying themselves in
their SS in invaluable.

So, don't come expecting to
learn something that will help you
ace your quizzes, or win an elect-
ion. Come if you want to have
fun and relax.

Or isn't that a good enough
reason?

MARGANNE HENDRICKS

E>ear Editor:

Last night's Joint House meeting
brought to the attention of the
Student Body several issues which
deserve some thoughtful consider-
ation.

In Eleanor's words, we need to
"evaluate what we, as Agnes Scott
students, are making of Agnes
Scott," and to try to discover "how
we could make a more meaning-
ful and rewarding environment at
Agnes Scott.

In brief, the many rumors of
rule infractions, as well as more
subtle symptoms of apathy, in-
difference, and boredom on cam-
pus, emphasize the definite gaps
we have in our understanding of
our responsibilities in areas of
learning and interpersonal rela-
tionships.

The only way for us to carry
on any kind of meaningful exist
ence comes through commitment
to ourselves, to others.

We are already committed to
Agnes Scott and its standards for
as long as we remain here. We
chose this school for what we
could gain from it.

Although it is a lot easier not
to be committed, not to face our-
selves, and thereby to escape res-
ponsibility, nonetheless we are
committed: these rules do apply
to us.

We can be honest with ourselves
in that our moral values differ,
but we cannot be honest with our-
selves and violate what we said
we would do and we said we
would uphold these standards of
the school.

Eleanor enlisted the aid of the
student body in trying to diagnose
and clear up what is wrong with
the atmosphere on campus.

One cannot blame the apathy
entirely upon the continuing pre-
sence of certain policies; a great
deal of the responsibility stems
from our own individual attitudes.

This is the first time in nearly
three years that Judicial Board has
felt its chairman should speak out
so strongly about the need for re-
evaluation of judicial policy and
student response.

It is hoped that her words will
evoke a reawakening of our sense
of responsibility.

The Bicycle Club is gone, too,
with another era, another way of
thinking.

Today as the world has moved
into a democratic era, so Agnes
Scott Athletic Association has
made bicycles available to all.

Being swept up in new ways
of thinking, such as all men are
equal, Egalite, Fraternite, Li-
berie, etc., the existence of a
privileged minority, who had
brought their own bicycles, would
be inconceivable.

Thus, bicycles are bought and
maintained for the enjoyment of
the masses.

(Note to masses: the bicycles,
which most of this year have not
been available for general use
due to mistreatment are once
again available.)

The sports scope has widened
tremendously.

There is, though, an aspect of
SPORTS here that has remained
the same.

We still have class basketball
teams.

As a matter of fact just this
past Friday (as on most winter
quarter Friday^) there were two
games: the Seniors winning over
the Sophomores, 43-24, while the
Freshmen beat the Juniors, 25-17.

The game last Friday was the
fourth game of the quarter, which
means that the classes have be-
gun to play each other for the
second go-around.

It also means that as of last
Friday the Seniors are in first
place, having won all of their
games; (thirdly this means that
things are becoming somewhat
tedious, as this is the third year
in a row that that which is at
present the Senior Class has been
in first place.)

The Freshmen are in second
place, having won two and lost
two.

Security

This then leaves the Juniors and
Sophomores tied both with one
win and three losses.

There will, of course, be two
more games this Friday: Sopho-
mores vs. Freshmen and Juniors
vs. Seniors.

This year's dance, 'Tantasia",
is featuring the 'Zodiacs' and will
be held on March the seventh at
the Americana Motor Hotel in
Atlanta.

The tickets, about four dollars
again this year, will be available
for purchase SOON!

As a side note, which may be
interesting to some, a question of
honor is involved in this.

It seems that at last year's
'Spring Fling* there were some
couples, who, although they k had
not bought tickets, came anyway.

After taking a hard look at
what human nature is really like,
this year's A. A. Board has de-
cided to require that tickets be
brought to the dance and shown
upon entering.

There will be a list of names
to be checked this does not
mean that any Scott girl with a
date and without a ticket will be
turned away perish the
thought!

Assuming their duty is that of
protecting, then remains the ques-
tion of whom they are protect-
ing exactly and/or from what.

After all, the dance Is being
held off -campus i.e. an Atlanta
hotel, whose atmosphere cannnot
be expected to be comparable to
that which exists on-campus.

Thus, it may be that the pres-
ence of these detectives sort
of night watchmen figures may
be an attempt to add that note of
security; all the comforts of home
or something.

Yes, times have indeed changed;
why, back in the good oP days of
'89, no one would have even un-
derstood the words 'compulsory
convocation'. . . .

'Round Town

T. J! Arrives In Atlanta,
Georgia State Gives Play

By Marilyn Little

This view 'roun-town certainly
has revealed some very interesting
opportunities for entertainment.
One could hardly say that Winter
Quarter is dull-this week, that is.

Atlanta has outdone herself in
the realm of the cinema. Foremost
among the available films this
week is "Tom Jones," hailed al-
most everywhere as "movie of the
year," and hailed in some other
places as merely "book of the
year."

"T. J." starts tomorrow at the
Capri, and Sophomores whose
papers are due soon should count
themselves extremely fortunate.

This is certainly an opportune
time to see the rollicking, bawdy
adaptation of one of the few popu-
lar Agnes Scott traditions.

And for those whose tastes are
not quite along 18th century lines,
Loew's has provided Steve Mc-
Queen in "Love with a Proper
Stranger."

This is superb Hollywood "they
lived happily-ever after" fare. But
whether it's good or not is really
of secondary importance: Steve
McQueen is in it: Need I say more?

"Seven Days in May," which
starts soon at the Hoxy, is an
exciting yarn about the effort of

a military group to take over the
United States in the kind of palace
revolution Americans are accus-
tomed to read and laugh about as
happening somewhere else.

Someone must be opposed to the
U. S. military, because also coming
soon is "Dr. Strangelove, or: How
I Stopped Worrying and Love the
Bomb."

Versatile Peter Sellers stars in
this brilliant, bizarre satire which
concerns the results of an Air
Force paranoiac 's attempts to pro-
voke the Russians into a nuclear
war.

The performing arts are not be-
ing neglected in Atlanta, despite
the fine cinema offering.

Oglethorpe is undergoing its
Second Annual Arts Festival this
weekend, and Georgia State Play-
ers are presenting John Osborne's
gripping play, "Look Back in An-
ger".

The "Philadelphia Story," with
Jeanne Crain, is running currently
at the Community Playhouse.

And don't forget, Ferrante and
Teicher are coming to Atlanta in
two weeks, while in three weeks
the final curtain will close that
memorable drama, "Winter Quart-
er, 1964."

Pageant Crowns
Commemoration

VESTAL VIRGINS Three shining examples of the kind of beauty which abounds on the Agnes
Scott campus practice their roles for the forthcoming May Day production.

The pageant commemorating the
first 25 years of the life of Agnes
Scott College was probably the
high point of this year.

The entertainment consisted of
two great parts, the processional
and the stage performance.

In the processional the students
and faculty, dressed in costumes
which corresponded to their re-
spective departments, paraded to
represent the present time in the
life of the institution.

Alumnae represented the past in
the history of education in the
State of Georgia. The subject was
to symbolize the part which Agnes

Academic, Social,

Mission Groups
In Organizations

At this time we wish to present
a resume of a number of the or-
ganizations and activities of Agnes
Scott College for the edification
of its students.

It is hoped that those young
women not already members of
some pleasurable group will see fit
to join one, and those who are
now members will continue in
their duties with increased zeal.

For everyone knows that the
young women of today must pur-
sue endeavors in all phases of life,
academic as well as social.

The Young Women's Christian
Association reports that it has a
total of 199 women on its roll.

One hundred sixty-six of its
members are engaged in Bible
study and 100 are studying mis-
sions.

In addition, the budget for the
year has been increased to 110
dollars.

The committees of the organi-
zation, which include the religious
meetings, the Bible study, mission
study, membership, association
news, social, music and conference
and convention committees have
been working diligently to pro-
mote the highest ideals and co-
ordinate meaningful religious ac-
tivities for our institution.

The three captains of the Fire
Brigade from Rebekah Scott Hall,
Inman Hall and Agnes Scott Hall
wish to commend students for
their performance during the first
fire drill of last week.

However, for the clarification of
some students, instructions are

College Endowment
Increases Greatly

During the past 25 years the
college has grown phenomenally.

Starting the Agnes Scott Insti-
tute precipitated going into debt
for a few years. However, at pres-
ent, total assets are about $719,-
000 with endowment funds reach-
ing $180,000 and building and
equipment valued at $551,000.

Instead of the original four fac-
ulty members, the college now has
39 professors and instructors.

Tuition, too, has risen to $110
with the charge for boarding set
at $240.

Graduating on May 24 of this
year will be 23 young ladies in
contrast to the five who graduated
only eight short years ago.

herewith presented.

At the sound of the alarm stu-
dents are to arise as quickly as
possible, put on slippers and ki-
monos and proceed to the lobby
where the roll will be called. If
response is not heard when your
name is mentioned, a 25 cent fine
must be paid, or as the theory
goes, you get "burned up."

The coming of Commencement
ushers in the yearly Intersociety

white of the Mnemosynean Liter-
ary Society will match wits with
the blue and gold of the Propylean

prove to be an exciting spectacle.

Team captains report that prac-
tice sessions are in progress and
that the eloquence of the speakers
should make the match an in-
vigorating one.

The subject under analysis is:

ASC Debaters Win
Newcomb Tourney

Agnes Scott once again made
headlines in the Atlanta papers
this year by winning the first in-
terstate debating tournament in
the history of southern colleges.

The Hottentots defeated Sophie
Newcomb by the unanimous de-
cision of the judges.

They debated: Resolved: that
federal government should acquire
and operate the telegraph system
of the country.

When word was received by
telegram of the victory in New
Orleans, over 300 ASC girls staged
a snake dance around a bonfire
on the lawn.

Seniors Start Opera,
Suggest New Tradition

Other firsts began at Agnes
Scott this year of years, the 25th
anniversary of the institution.

The senior class of 23 young
ladies decided that the entire class
should stage an opera. Therefore,
they picked one of the most popu-
lar, Madame Butterfly.

The entire production was a
huge success, and members of the
class have expressed the hope that
following classes will follow their
example.

Members of the North Georgia
Club, South Georgia Crackers,
Alabama Club, Passengers Club,
Tennessee Club, Tar Heel Club,
Florida Club, Arkansas Blacks,
Virginia Club, and Texas Club will
hold a joint meeting for the pur-
pose of planning a picnic to be
held in the spring.

All active participants are urged
to attend as well as those who
wish to join the club of their par-
ticular state.

Students are reminded that
games between the Freshmen,
Sophomore, Junior, and Senior
basketball teams are now under-
way. According to managers, no
previous experience is necessary to
qualify for a position on your class
team.

They further state that athletics
should have a place in the life of
every young woman at Agnes
Scott.

Trustee Death
Stuns Atlanta,
jASC Students

During the past year the college
has suffered a great loss within
the ranks of the Board of Trustees.

S. M. Inman, Chairman of the
Board, died this year. Inman had
long been a member of the board,
having had confidence in the fu-
ture of the school when no one
else did. His portrait will be hung
in the lobby of Rebekah Scott Hall.

At the beginning of the decade,
Inman obtained some money from
Andrew Carnegie on promise of a
match gift of $25,000 from the
school itself. He also aided in ob-
taining more funds from J. D.
Rockefeller.

These gifts started the first Ag-
nes Scott campaign, a feature of
the school which has continued
since that time.

This campaign under the direc-
tion of Inman, was responsible for
bringing the college partially out
of debt.

Inman was also active in other
colleges in the area.

Agnes Scott girls will be
allowed to attend the funeral.

Named to succeed Inman is J.
K. Orr, a member of the Board of
Trustees since 1904.

Scott has played on the past, pres-
ent and future of the educational
work in Georgia and the South-
land.

In addition to costumes which
were displayed in the processional,
the various departments developed
music and standards which they
felt to be representative of the
particular field of study.

Many areas of interest presented
plays, pantomimes, music and folk
dances indicative of their fields.

The performance of these dances
and other activities was given un-
der the great oaks northwest of
Inman. Approximately 400 people
took part.

Over 2,500 people from the area
watched the performances, indi-
cating the great effect which this
institute of learning has already
had upon the populace of this area.

Institute Becomes
College In 1906

During the past 25 years since
the beginning of this college, build-
ings, grounds, and endowments of
Agnes Scott have changed.

Even the name has been
changed. We have not always been
Agnes Scott College, dear friends,
but originally began as Agnes
Scott Institute.

At that time we had the stand-
ing of a college preparatory school
for young ladies.

However, on March 16, 1906,
only eight short years ago, leaders
of the institute petitioned in the
Superior Court of DeKalb County
to change the name from Agnes
Scott Institute to Agnes Scott Col-
lege.

Five young women of that year
were the first graduates of this
college.

However, the college prepara-
tory part of the college which was
called Agnes Scott Academy was
not discontinued until last year.
Trustees of the college decided
that we should devote our time
solely to the college.

Well, the newspaper deadline
has arrived, and so this member
of the administration again takes
pen in hand to record the boun-
teous workings of Cupid on this
campus filled with so many desir-
able, sought-after young women.

This writer wishes to take the
opportunity to reiterate the posi-
tion of the powers-that-be in re-
gard to budding friendships with
young gentlemen:

We do all in our power to wel-
come and encourage their visits
(all within the bounds of pro-
priety, of course).

We walk hand in hand with
Cupid.

Now for our news: Anna Mae
Wildwon has already had two
visits in only one and one half
semesters, from a certain young
gentleman who lives in Atlanta.

We cannot but express amaze-
ment at the ostentatiousness of
their relationship, and pity for the
already overworked members of
the dean's staff who must chaper-
one these constant visits.

We're all for friendships with
men, Anna Mae, but Really!

Finally, we hear that two of our

charming, well-rounded alumnae
are engaged to be married. They
are Abigail Smith, 79, and Rosa
Hardup, 63.

We always did know that these
lovely ladies would find the
gentlemen of their dreams, al-
though they often expressed their
doubts while attending our beloved
alma mater.

That's all for this week. The
reader is flabbergasted, we know,
with the overwhelming abundance
of romance on this campus.

And we owe it all to our excel-
lent guiding rules!

ASC Fire Brigade
Opens Membership

The fire brigade will hold a
training session tonight for all
young ladies who would like to
try out for the group.

Started in 1907, the brigade is
designed to train girls by unex-
pected alarms and drills for fire
and orderly action so that in case
of fire there will be less danger.

For those who have been won-
dering, then, that is what those
Scotties were doing on the roof of
the new Rebekah Scott Hall.

ASC Regulations Give
Freedom To Students

For benefit of students, both old
and new, we are publishing some
of the rules and regulations which
appear in the new catalogues for
Agnes Scott.

Undergraduates may not enter-
tain gentlemen on Sunday unless
by special permission of the Dean
of Students.

Visitors may be received on Sat-
urday evening and from 3 p.m. to
6 p.m. in the afternoon.

Students wishing to entertain

Students must not use bath-
rooms after 9:45 p.m.

Written permission from par-
ents or guardians must be filed
in the Dean's office for receiving
callers, spending the day or night
away from the college, or leaving

Campaign Drive
To Aid Progress

By Felicia Guest

This last week of the Semi-
centennial Campaign has been a
busy one on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus. Our campaign activities, cul-
minating with the school-wide
banquet in the Gym, have left
the college $52,002 richer.

Members of the Mathematics
Department verify that the shell
crew race across the huge tank of
water in the lobby of Buttrick was
won by the Sophomore Class.

The Sophs put forth a heroic
last-minute drive to defeat the
other classes in the fund-raising
totals, which the shell crews race
indicated.

The Gym Banquet celebrating
the end of the campaign was en-
livened by songs and stunts by
each of the four classes. Afternoon
classes were cancelled because of
the event.

Dr. McCain has declared two
holidays as a reward for the suc-
cess of the campaign. One of these
holidays will give the campus a
long weekend this month. The
other holiday will lengthen our
spring vacation this year.

The funds from our Semi-
centennial Campaign will be used
for the construction of Hopkins

We hear that Inman enthusiasts
rented, for only a dime, that mar-
velous contraption, the Ouija
board, "since we felt the need of
outside help and the full instruc-
tions were thrown in free."

A short blond shrdlshh young
one of the class of '42 says: "I
think eggs should be scrambled
with the shell because it gives a
consistancy to the breakfast that
we get in no other proportions.

"It gives a 'crunch' to the break-
fast which generates the activity
for the day."

Witness little "Stupie" Slack,
while attempting to corral her re-

stumble and fall right smack on
her . . . face, into the fish pool!

a revelation, at least to Evelyn,
who saw a pullman made up (or
is it down?) for the first time,
witnessed her first poker game,
and heard her first Geeche.

No less thrilled was Eleanor who
discovered she could wiggle her
middle toe without movement of

This week, the Agonistic became
the Agnes Scott News. The name
change was accomplished by stu-
dent vote.

The vote was as follows: Mirror

The News staff reports that it
is pleased with the new name, and
wishes to thank the student body
for its participation in voting at
Student Meeting.

This week, a brand new RCA
combination radio-record player
was installed in the Murphey
Candler Building, and jitterbugg-

The record player was used for
the first time at after-dinner cof-
fee Wednesday night.

ASC Refuses
Proposal For
Rules Revision

Margaret Ryan

The rules applying to the stu-
dent body of Agnes Scott for the
session of 1939-1940 have under-
gone close examination by the
administration, and the suggested
revisions were considered of rules
unnecessary and unwarranted.

The major rules remain as fol-
lows:

(1) Freshman, sophomores, and
juniors may have the use of
lights only from 6 A.M. till
10:30 P.M.

(2) Girls and their dates may
walk on the front campus
and on the back campus
only as far as the front of
Buttrick and as far as the
front of Inman.

(3) Students are allowed five
church cuts a quarter, but
no students are to go to the
drugstore in little Decatur
on Sundays.

(4) The administration has is-
sued the statement that
"smoking is a serious of-
fense and will be dealt with
accordingly.'* NO student is
to smoke on campus, on
trips to and from school,
and only in private homes
with the permission of the
hostess.

A $10,000 sprinkler system has
been installed in the dorms cutting
the yearly fire insurance cost by
$700.

The construction of Presser Hall,
the music building, has begun, and
all who live in Inman have en-
joyed the new creme-colored walls
in their lobby.

But the greatest new addition
is the modern switchboard!

Installed by Southern Bell, it
will connect us to the "outside
world" far more efficiently than
the pay phones used in the past.
However, for calling long-distance,
four have been retained on campus
one in each of the three dorms.

The old tube system by which
calls on campus were made be-
tween dorms has also been re-
moved, and now one has only to
dial to be connected with another
dormitory.

Controlled by a trained switch-
board operator, the system has
fifty phones.

It will allow seven incoming
calls simultaneously and the same
number of outgoing calls all on
the same number.

will be able to expand to handle
1,000 calls at one time including
intracollege rails ,

It is the most efficient system
found on a campus in the Atlanta
area and has already saved us a
great deal of trouble and time.

Dean of Students Carrie Scan-
drett had this to say, "Cooperation

and patience on students' part will
be necessary to get the new sys-
tem in quick, efficient working
order."

Students are asked to limit their
calls to a reasonable amount of
time so that the fullest possible
benefit may be received by the
student body.

College Clubs
Mark Success

Briefly reviewing the highlights,
we see that clubs at Agnes Scott
have been very active this year.

On the social side, the Cotillion
Club sponsored two very success-
ful dances. Local orchestras pro-
vided the music as couples danced
the Jitterbug and the Lambeth
Walk.

The members of the Grand-
mothers Club enjoyed a gay round
of activities including a wiener
roast at the new Harrison Hut, a
steak supper, a picnic and a gala
candlelight banquet.

On a more cultural level, the

members of the Poetry Club have
been busy writing and discussing
poetry.

They have kept Aurora supplied
with original verse as well as a
few translations from Greek and
Latin poets.

In the world of sports, the unde-
feated juniors were most success-
ful in hockey; while the freshmen
were undefeated in basketball.

The Swimming Club's water
pageant was a special treat. It was
inspired this year by the familiar
Greek myth of Daphne and Chloe.

Seminary Now Becomes Institute

Catalogue Lists
Assets, Tuition
Of First Year

Agnes Scott Institute will soon
have great influence in the South,
judging from the first catalogue
which has just recently been sent
out by Dr. F. H. Gaines, president
of <the Board of Trustees.

Among the information furnish-
ed in the catalogue is a description
of the physical assets of the In-
stitute.

The Institute is located on a
common ridge which serves as a
divide. Water on one side of the
Institute goes to the Gulf of
Mexico while water on the other
side finds its way to the Atlantic
Ocean. Elevation is 1,050 feet above
sea level.

The catalogue mentions that
the new Main building made possi-
ble by the contribution of Col.
George W. Scott is presently under
construction.

Made of brick and granite of
the latest design it will be built
with every approved modern con-
venience, having ample dassrooms,
halls, offices, music and art rooms
and sleeping apartments. It Will
be 170' by 50' and three stories
high excluding the basement.

Expenses listed in the catalogue
cite that cost of fuel, lights, fur-
nished room and tuition for the
primary or collegiate course is
$185. However, there are numer-
ous extra charges including $2 for
drawing and crayoning.

Dr. Gaines Announces
Initialing of Covenant
By Institute's Faculty

President of the Board of Trus-
tees of the Institute has released a
copy of the prayer covenant sign-
ed by many of the first associates
of the Institute.

We 'the undersigned, believing
in the promise of our Lord con-
cerning prayer (Matt. 18-19) and
having at heart the largest success
of Agnes Scott Institute in its
great work for the glory of God, do
hereby enter into a covenant with
each other to offer daily prayer
in our "closets" for /the following
specific objects:

L For each other in our work
in and for the Institute.

2. For the Board of Trustees
and the Faculty.

3. That God would convert
every unconverted pupil before
leaving the Institute.

4. That He would graciously
build up in faith and prepare for
highest usefulness all who are
His.

5. That He would baptize the
Institute with the Holy Spirit and
make it a fountain of blessings.

6. That He would give it so
much of endowment and prosperity
as He sees would be for His own
glory.

7. That He would have the In-
stitute constantly in His own holy
care and keeping, that His name
may be glorified.

The covenant is signed by Dr.
Gaines, Mi-^s i Hopkins and other
teachers who were first with the
Seminary and are now with the
Institute.

SPINNING WHEEL This is the spinning wheel of our dear
namesake, Agnes Irvine Scott. The institute hopes to keep this
wheel for years to come.

Founder Scott Honors
Mother Through Giving

In this year when this school
for young ladies changed its name
from the Decatur Female Semi-
nary to Agnes Scott Institute, we
feel that the girls here should
know something about their kind
benefactor, the Colonel George
Washington Scott.

Col. Scott was born Feb. 22,
1829, in Alexandria, Pa., the fourth
child of John and Agnes Scott who
were both of Scotch, Scotch-Irish
descent.

Col. Scott's father was a busi-
nessman whose industries includ-
ed a tannery and an establishment
where boots and shoes were sold.
He served in the Pennsylvania
State Legislature and in the Con-
gress of the United States.

His mdther, the former Agnes
Irvine, for whom the Institute is
now named, was born in Ballykeel
County Down, Ireland on June 15,
1799.

At the age of 17 she with her
mother and little sister started for
the United States. On the 36-
day crossing her sister Susanna
took sick and died.

The two went to Alexandria
where some of their relatives from
Ireland had previously settled. It
was here that Agnes and John
met and fell in love.

They were married Oot. 29,
1821.

Because he had always been a
sickly boy, George left Alexandria
for the more healthful south Oct.
4, 1850.

In a letter home he described
the beauty and excitement of the
rapidly growing Atlanta where he
stayed uritdl Nov. 5, 1850. He
then toured the southland, stop-
ping in Griffin, Columbus, south
Alabama and Florida.

In Tallahassee he started a
merchantile business in 1852 called
George Washington Scott and
Company. Quickly prospering in
this endeavor he also became a
plantation owner.

However, he soon lost all he
had because of the outbreak of the
Civil War.

With an unhappy sigh this man
shouldered his gun and went off to
fight on the side of the South al-
though he was originally a Yan-
kee.

He soon became a colonel and in
time was promoted to be the com-
manding officer of the army of
Middle and West Florida and
Southwest Georgia.

Returning home he was persuad-

ed to run for governor during Re-
construction on the Democratic
ticket and was defeated. He never
again ran for any (type of political
office.

Moving to Savannah he went
into the cotton industry in 1870
and again, through no fault of
his own, lost his fortune a second
time.

In 1877 he moved to Decatur
where he became a pioneer in
the commercial fertilizer busi-
ness.

Coh Scott was one of the first
men interested in starting Decatur
possibility of using Florida phos-
phate rock in the manufacturing of
commercial fertilizer.

In addition to this business
which he eventually sold to a
larger firm, he became interested
in real estate. Thus he became a
wealthy man.

During his younger days in the
South he frequently made trips
back to his home in Pennsylvania
and in 1854 he married Miss
Rebakah Bucher of near Harris-
burg.

Col. Scott was on the first men
interested lin starting (Decatur
Female Seminary when Dr. F. H.
Gaines suggested the possiblity.

Recently he donated a total of
$40,000 to the institution. Decatur
Female Seminary then became
known as Agnes Scott Institute
in memory of his mother.

Institute Elucidates
Agnes Scott's Ideal

With (the renaming of Decatur
Female Seminary to Agnes Scott
Institute, an Agnes Scott Ideal has
been adopted.

The goals set forth in the Ideal
include:

1. A liberal curriculum fully
abreast of the best institutions of
this country.

2. The Bible as a textbook.

3. Thoroughly qualified and con-
secrated teachers.

4. A high standard of scholar-
ship.

5. All influences of the College
conducive to the formation and
development of Christian char-
acter.

6. The glory of God the chief
end of aH.

New Name Accompanies
Improvements In College

As we in 1891 look back upon
the first days of this school which
is now named Agnes Scott Insti-
tute, we marvel at the steps which
have been made in the past two
years.

The first session opened Sept.
25, 1889, with an enrollment of 60
pupils and four teachers. Included
were seven boys enrolled in pri-
mary department. We were fort-
unate, some of the announcements
appearing in local papers pro-
claimed to have with us Miss
Nannette Hopkins who graduated
from ithe reknowned school of
Holiins located in Virginia.

Total assets of the college were
$5,000 obtained by buying shares
of stock at different prices. Col.
Scott purchased a large number
of shares of stock.

The Seminary had no endow-
ment, no buildings or equipment,
no campus.

However, the group purchased

from Mrs. Allen of Decatur the
Allen House which was erected in
1882 by Judge Hilliard an ex-
minister to Brazil. The building
was rented for three years with an
option to buy it at a specified
price.

The first cornniencemenFexefcis-
es included a demonstration of free
calisthenics, songs, recitations,
duets, dumb bell exercises and
broom and regimental drills by the
girls.

In addition there was a delivery
of distinctions and the writing
prize. Over 200 people from the
area were turned away, indicating
the effect which the school early
had upon the residents of the
area.

Although the Governor of Geor-
gia John B. Gordon was scheduled
to speak he could not appear. The
Rev. H. K. Walker of Marietta
spoke in his stead.

Calm Meditative Sabbaths
Provide Uplifting Influence

Sundays at Agnes Scott differ
from other days of the week as
much as summer from winter.

There is not a girl 5n the
Institute who does not welcome
the Sabbath with its rest and
quiet, lack of half hour bells, free-
dom from work and interruption
of the week; Who does not lay aside
her books on Saturday night with
a sigh of relief and pleasure in
anticipation of the day of rest
between her and renewed work.

At half past seven the rising
bell rings.

At eight we have breakfast and
in the interval between some girls
go to their rooms, walk on the
campus, suit beneath the shade of
the trees, chatting or looking over
their Sunday school lessons, or go
to the library to prepare special
topics for the lesson, or gather in
chapel and practice gospel hymns.

At mine the bell rings for Sun-
day school held in the chapel of
the Institute.

During hymns, reading and
prayers the girls sit arranged by
classes and then go to different re-
citation rooms for the lessons.
They then assemble again for the
last hymn and then prepare for
church.

At fifteen minutes until eleven
the bell for church rings and the
roll is called on the first floor hall
and the household goes to church.

The attendance is generally upon

the Presbyterian Church in De-
catur although members of other
denominations frequently attend
their own churches and when they
wish it, girls may go, only two
at a itime unless on special
occasions to church in Atlanta.

After church, the brick walk is
largely patronized and the benches
on campus, some of the girls how-
ever seeking the coolness of the
galleries or retirement of the
Mbrary or itheir own rooms.

At one-thirty the dinner is serv-
ed, the best of the week. From
then until three the girls of the In-
stitute are variously occupied.

From three to four is the medi-
taltion hour and how welcome it is
in a life of interruptions to have
one hour absolutely free from dis-
turbances to be used as will and
conscience dictate.

By rule the house is quiet so
there is nothing to disturb the
calmness. This is a time which may
be especially used for long, heart-
relieving letters home and for
other things too sweet and sacred
to tell or write of.

To many of the girls growing
to womanhood here this medi-
tation hour has proved a blessing
indeed.

At 5:30 supper is served. From
6:10 until 7 is Christian Band.
Many attend the evening services
in Decatur churches though they
are not i^uired to do so.

Often a group of girls gather-
round one of the pianos in the
chapel and there practice our Sun-
day songs.

At 9 p.m. the whistle blows
and by 9:30 the buMng is darken-
ed.

Think of the hearts and souls
of girls who spent their Sundays
here and you will get a better idea
of what goes on beneath. Memories
of Sundays spent here may last a
lifetime and be far-reaching In
their effects.

1891

Walking Supplies Benefits
As Gentlewomanly Sport

Back in the good oY days, about
1891 or so, there were three or-
ganizations which pertained to
athletics in one way or another.

There was the Tennis Club, the
Bicycle Club, but by far the most
interesting was the Anti-Walking
Club.

In addition to its overall motto,
"Foolery , sir, does walk about the
orb like the sun," each member
had her own individual motto.

"Rest and be thankful," "Sink
to rest"; "The sad mechanic
exercise;" and "I hate to walk in
winter/ I hate to walk in fall/
I hate to walk at any time/ I hate
to walk at all" are but a few
examples of the personal mottos.

This, however, it must be re-
membered, was only the feeling of
a few; the majority of girls en-
joyed walking.

Thingrs, of course, were different
then a brick walk had recently
been put in on the campus; Deca-
tur at that time was more country
than anything: else, Candler Street
being one of its main thorough-
fares.

As a matter of fact one of the
more popular songs was entitled,
"Candler Street To-day."

Sung to the tune of "Auld Lang
Syne," the first verse went as
follows:

Should we forget those good old
days,

And Candler Street as well?
Should we forget the walks we
take

In woodland and in dell?

No, indeed they shouldn't; if,
however, for any reason a remind-
er may be needed, handily enough
there is in the 1899 annual, Aurora,
an essay, "Our Walks."

The following are exerpts from

it:

"You know that among the
many things that men are said to
admire in woman, are those of a
beautiful complexion and a fine
and healthy figure.

"It is also a known fact that
exercise is one 0 f the best means
of obtaining these happy results.

"Whether the faculty here are
training us especially to become
pleasing to the eyes of the other
sex, we dare not presume to know,
but we are certainly forcibly con-
vinced that they approve of exer-
cise as a means to promoting good
health.

"You may wonder what various
kinds of exercise we have.

"We live in a 'dry town', so there
is no chance for a fine row in
summer, or a merry skate in
winter.

"There is one livery stable here
where they keep for our special
benefit, one saddle horse - a little
worse for wear but what is one
among so many?

'Thus being deprived of such
sports as these, we are forced to
hire our service the two trusty
steeds called 'shanks* and it is on
these fiery animals that we travel
the country o'er.

"First of all our delightful walks
are those found on our own cam-
pus, and chiefest of these is the
brick walk.

"This from its popularity, might
lead you to think of a winding
path, losing itself here and there
among the cool shade of mossy
bowers.

"But not so, fair reader.

"Were its position inverted and
were it placed on end, it would
assume no other form than the
perpendicular.

"But this is for all its unroman-
tic appearance, one of our favorite
haunts.

By Martha Montmeat

"But especially do we love this
walk in the summer, when about
the time of the five o'clock car, the
girls begin to pour forth from the
building all bent upon exercise (?)
and enjoyment.

"Certainly anyone who has seen
our girls at the time mentioned
will never forget the pretty sight
of the gala group, all dressed in
white or other dainty summer
toilettes.

"Yes, this walk does lead to the
front gate and quite near the cor-
ner, but these are minor considera-
tions when compared with the op-
portunity that it gives for a long
nice walk, which must of neces-
sity, be beneficial.

"There are other walks on the
campus, and these are truely de-
lightful, winding gracefully all
around the grounds, crossing the
drives, and somehow usually plea-
santly terminating at the summer
house, which the climbing Lady
Bankshire roses make a perfect
bower of beauty.

". . . We walk outside of the
yard three times a week, and the
first day the new girls are always
taken out Candler Street, the Fifth
Avenue of Decatur.

"By the end of the first month
they have become so familiar with
it that they can name the houses
in order; by the end of the second,
they can correctly place every
child they meet, black or white;
and by the end of the third, they
can mark with accuracy every new
bud on the trees, and are quick to
spy a new shingle on a leaky roof,
or a broken gate repaired.

"Truly, the affection of the
teachers for this street is simply
marvelous.

"It seems that there is within
each one of their hearts such a
yearning for its sandy strands that
successively as each one assumes
duty our faces are turned in that
direction, and the delightful walk
is begun.

"One of its most attractive
features, however, is the "short
cut," that is a street one block
long, by which we are enabled to
come in at the back gate, and thus
cut off two blocks of the assigned
walk.

. . Oh, but the favorite walk
to the store must not be forgotten.

"This is one which truly fills
the girls' hearts with delight, as
by the merry handling of paper
bags our homeward trips are al-
ways made entertaining and ex-
tremely pleasant.

"Sometimes on our return we
follow the electric car and return
by the jail, but as there is seldom
anyone confined there we have
become quite brave, and really
pass it with little fear.

"l>ecatur is a very intellectual
little place, and not only boasts
of our fine school, and justly, but
also of a school for boys.

"Any girl's heart that has leapt
up at this announcement please
remain undisturbed a moment
longer, for though the Donald
Fraiser is indeed a fine school,
yet it believes in the same motto
that our faculty insists on "No
men allowed" so that there are
onry boys real young boys
to be seen at all, and these are
rarely visible to us as we pass.

"Situated as this school is, clear
on the other side of town, it makes
us a very pleasant walk, leading
through town, by the new stone
courthouse and then on, out into
the lovely woods beyond.

% . . A familiar sight to Deca-

turites is that of our departure
from the back gate, while we take
a due south direction and follow
the electric car track down to
Juanita station, then leave it
abruptly and take a stroll over the
violet- covered hills to the left or
the woods at the right, returning
in one case by Candler Street, or
in the other by the big road lead-
ing west.

"But a sketch of our walks
would not be complete without the
one out directly west, which we
often take in summer, late in the
afternoon, while the sunset tints
make the sky a beautiful study.

"It leads out in a straight line
through the country a good
road to Atlanta but we usually
branch off the main road a short
distance from the Agnes Scott
Institute, at this time and have
a fine ramble in the woods.
During violet time this is a favor-
ite tramp.

"Now, the only chief walk that
has been omitted, I think, is the
one to the 'tank*.

"Long ago there used to be a
dummy line between Atlanta and
Decatur, and this "Decatur tank"
was one of the supply stations.

"There it stands yet, bright and
red, a relic of bygone days, while
running on the old dummy track,
the electric cars now shoot dis-
dainfully by, ignoring its former
services.

"It is on this walk that persim-
mons grow, and at certain times of
the year it is in great demand.

"This, of course, is but a brief
sketch of some of our most fami-
liar promenades.

"There are others equally plea-
sant or otherwise that need not
be refered to, and surely those
who have been here a year will
remember, that on our daily walks
have occurred some of our fun-
niest and pleasantest experiences
of school life.

"We know that no one is to
blame for this scarcity of pleasant
walks, and that it is only our fre-
quent traveling over them that
has made them monotonous.

"But who did not hail with de-
light the announcement that if the
girls played tennis in the after-
noon they would be exempt from
walking."

(All of the above material has
been taken from the 1899 Aurora
whose editors wrote of themselves,
"We never dare write as funny as
we can." An interesting statement,
worth considering. . .

A Step Forward

The decision of the administration which will allow us
to receive gentlemen on Sundays is heralded by the student
body as a step forward.

For some time many of us have had gentlemen friends
whom we have wanted to see occasionally, but we have been
unable to because of the Sunday restriction.

We agree that the Sabbath should be a day of relaxation
and holy meditation, but when circumstances have prevented
week-day visits, there has been an unnecessary strain and
inconvenience on our friendships.

It is regrettable that the war in Europe and our coun-
try's military preparations have been the precipitation for
the sudden leniency of rules.

But we are glad to see the patriotism shown by our ad-
ministration. Their willingness to be flexible in time of na-
tional crisis deserves recognition and appreciation.

Our boys are preparing to give their lives for the cause
of democracy and peace. It is the least we can do to make
their last months at home, perhaps of life, more enjoyable.

No longer will we have to run like juveniles to the windows
of Main and Rebekah Scott Hall to wave and shout encour-
agement as they march by.

The iron fences around the campus have been removed,
and we, as becomes an Agnes Scott woman, are being given
the privilege, in trust, of conducting ourselves in a mature
and adult manner.

To do away with the Sunday restriction and the iron
fences is a generous gesture on the part of our administra-
tion. We must be appropriately grateful and conduct our-
selves accordingly.

Girls, remember: this is only a temporary leniency, but
by a dignified and scandal-less behaviour we may be able to
make it a permanent step forward.

Let's show our trusting administration we are worthy
of such freedom! S. Prescott

field.

Included among the exciting
events will be a merry-go-round
(25 girl-power) and a bingo game.

One of the most interesting ex-
hibits will be the Fashion Show,
featuring the latest sports attire
for any sport from archery to field
hockey.

There will also be a contrasting
exhibit of garments which an older
generation considered appropriate
for athletic activity.

Pink lemonade and several skill
booths promise to attract their
share of the fair-goers who are
brave enough to climb through
the barrel marking the gate-way
to the mid- way.

McCain Recalls Customs,
Individuals Of A.S.C. Past

When I first came to Agnes
Scott in 1915, there were few of
the so-called modern conveniences
available.

"Certainly we had lights, but
they went out at 10 o'clock.

"Yes, we had a telephone too
. . . one . . . located just outside
the office of the president. It was
for all to use, if all didn't mind
talking five feet from the presi-
dent.

"Oh, and cars, there were two
of those, not at Agnes Scott, but
in Decatur.

"Fortunately they belonged to
some people named Scott across
the road.

"When we had a visitor to im-
press, we simply borrowed one of
the prized autos.

"In these early years, the entire
financial condition of the college
could be described as very meager,
much like the facilities that I have
mentioned."

"Admission to the college was
extremely strict.

"The requirements were such
that almost every student was ac-
cepted 'on condition.'

"That condition was that she
take and make-up for the subjects
she had not had.

"For example, a student was re-
quired to have had three years of
Latin, and the course was even
specified.

"Suppose the specifications said
a year of Virgil and the student
had had a year of Cicero. In that
case, she was accepted 'on condi-
tion.'

"The academic work itself was
difficult. Only half of your grades
had to be C work. On other words,
D's and C's were quite average,
because even those C's were hard
to get.

"The honor system was an in-
tegral part of the school and it
was rigidly upheld. The character
of our girls, then and now, is such
that it is sufficient for providing
the backbone of the honor system.

"In those days, there were a
number of wealthy girls. Perhaps
there were even more than there
are now.

"One man in New York who
was president of a subway line
sent his two daughters to Agnes
Scott and furnished them with
their own personal maid to look
after them.

Incidentally, many of the girls
like these were not particularly
in teres ter in taking the degree.
They just wanted to come to a
nice place to practice their music
and polish their manners.

L. L. TUCKER, JR.
Lessee and Manager

By Dr. James Ross McCain
as told to Susan Stevens

"The girls participated fully in
the campus activities (the ones
they had anyway).

"The biggest event of each year
was the Junior-Senior Banquet
held at East Lake. Girls were es-
corted there on streetcars by
faculty chaperons.

"Then, too, there was the big
Founder's Day celebration.

"This happened to be the only
exception to the 'no-dancing' rule.
During this one festive occasion,
the girls could enjoy doing the
Virginia Reel.

"Before 1920 there was constant
rivalry on campus between three
sororities: the Bulldogs, the Com-
plicators, and the Sigma Delta
Phi's.

"In that year, however, some
members took the initiative to dis-
solve the exclusive clubs because
of the small nature of the college.
This, I think, was highly com-
mendable on their part.

"When the freshmen today refer
to their sophomore helpers, it re-
minds me of the days when they
were called sophomore 'enemies.'

"As a result of the rather tor-
turous freshmen initiation, feelings
were hostile even to the point of
physical combat. Therefore, the
original Black Cat was devised to
take the place of the battle of
brawn.

"Wits were now at their sharpest
in competition of a different style.

"I suppose the restrictions have
changed considerably. There was
one rule that a girl's correspond-
ances would be approved by her

parents. Some faculty member also
would read all telegrams first.

"Dating was quite a problem.
Boys were only allowed in the
Main date parlor.

"However, the girls kept finding
ways of being invited out by Deca-
tur hostesses to avoid the strict
supervision.

"On Sundays, when only rela-
tives could call, many of the girls
found long, lost cousins at Tech
and Emory.

"The girls were watched very
closely about their appearances.
The first girl who had her hair
bobbed was almost expelled.

"She happened to be president
of Christian Association as well
as the smartest girl at Agnes Scott.

"Her hair gave her the title of
'bungalow.' It was shingled in the
back, painted in the front, and had
nothing on top."

"Yes, Agnes Scott has come a
long, long way from her beginning.
I am indeed proud of her develop-
ment as well as her rising in-
fluence among American colleges
and universities.

"Her students are certainly of
the same fine character and scho-
larship that they have always
been.

"Agnes Scott is where I sent
three daughters, and I now have
three granddaughters here. I
would have wanted them to come
here even if I had not been here.

"My forty-nine years of service
to the college have ben extremely
gratifying to me.

"I am against Agnes Scott's ever
being called just 'Scott.' As long
as she keeps her real name, then
she will always be the number
one college on all the listings!"

Hub-Bub

Smoking Prohibition
Jeopardizes Health

Fellow Scotties, I have a prob-
lem to bring forward which should
be a concern to all humanitarians
on our campus.

This may be a little ahead of the
times around here, but it seems to
me that the Administration should
be concerned about the health sit-
uation on our campus. On last
count there were 13 pneumonia
cases in the Infirmary.

During the Fall and Spring it is
not dangerous to go across the
street to smoke a cigarette. And
the people who live over there do
not seem to mind if we use their
steps. In fact, they find it a little
amusing.

In the Winter, however, with
all the rain and snow, it is al-
most suicidal to venture over
there, much less to expose one-
self to the elements for the

length of a cigarette or two.

Why can't we mature Agnes
Scott students smoke some-
where out of the weather?

It seems we have two choices:
either pay the people who live
nearby to let us in (in which case
we still endanger our health by
the trek over and back), or we
can be allowed to smoke some-
where on campus.

I know this is a revolutionary
idea, but is this not the Age of
Discovery? The basement of the
Murphy Candler Building could
be used easily. Maybe it would
even be the "hub" of the camp-
us.

We don't ask for the whole
building. We're not greedy. We
can still get written permission
from our parents.

But don't you want freedom
from illness? I hear there is a new
disease going around, Infectious
Mononucleosis, and soon if things
don't change we'll be getting that
too!

Contennial Lecture List
Features Drug Expert

By Lewellyn Jones

Monday evening 2030 hours in
Gaines, Dr. Harrold L. Mheuler,
who discovered Ayalirdin, the
drug which cures cancer, will
speak to the student body and
guests on the subject "Education,
the Most Potent Medicine.' ,

Following his lecture, he will
answer questions concerning Aya-
lirdin and cancer and its causes.

At 1600 on Tuesday girls in-
terested in the new controlled
digestion method of dieting will
be able to hear Mrs. Kirby, the
chairman of the President's Coun-
cil for Weight Control.

Through Mrs. Kirby's efforts,
the United States now has only
1092 overweight persons among its
population.

Mr. T. H. Jennings, mayor of
Carnirado, the capitol of Arnan,
Lunar I, will discuss the problems
of city government in areas en-
closed due to their external at-
mospheres in chapel on Wednes-
day morning.

We rarely have chapel so it is
hoped that most of the student
body will attend.

Thursday night the Atlanta
Acadamy of Dramatic Arts will
present an old play which has been
revived with great success this
year, Arthur Miller's ,After the
Fall.

Students and their dates and
friends are cordially invited. The
play will be in Alston, the class-
room building auditorium.

Saturday at noon we will hold
our 100th Anniversary convoca-
tion. The speaker will be the
chairman of the General Council
of the World Church, Dr. Charles
C. Hollins.

Dr. Hollins, now serving his
third term as chairman, is a ren-
owned theologian, especially
known for his work in uniting the

protestant denominations under
one head council.

New Buildings
Show Modern,
Gothic Blends

By Helen Mann

The dedication of the new Al-
ston class-room building yesterday
marked the completion of the ten-
year building program embarked
upon Jan. 30, 1979.

The new building is a blend of
the Gothic tradition and modern
trends in design.

Each classroom is equipped with
the E-Z-Learn teaching machines
and also has a movie screen which
allows the professors to project
certain vital frames before the
students for special emphasis.

The desks are, of course, uphol-
stered in the latest colors, and a
student can change from a right-
hand to a left-hand desk by pres-
sing a button.

Escalators promise to facilitate
movement through the crowds that
form on the stairs after each class.

Each room will be equipped
with an individual heater and air-
conditioner, which can be adjust-
ed to the needs of the class.

The E. D. Leyburn library, dedi-
cated last year, has announced that
more recordo-books and video-
books have been ordered, and that
acoustitone floors will be installed
over the spring vacation, to re-
duce the echoes.

The new gymnasium, also com-
pleted last year, has a new gravi-
room, where students may learn
anti-gravity stunts and also gain
experience in moving in lesser
gravity fields.

This will be helpful to many
planning to work off Earth.

The new dormitory, named in
honor of the Dean of Women, Miss
Scandrett, features vibra -mattres-
ses and wall lighting.

Adjoining the new dorm will be
built a new copto-port, with a
signout slate in the control room.

Squad Successfully Gravitates;
Blackfriars Move To Bermuda

Last Wednesday, Feb. 6, 1989,
Athletic Association traveled to
Lunaport, Mars, to meet the girls
of Agatha Simpson University in
a rousing game of gravitate.

This game, played in the ab-
sence of gravity, requires excep-
tional coordination, and our team
deserves great praise for winning
490-350.

Urna Alston was high scorer for
our team, making 25 gravs.

Blackfriars announces that its
spring quarter production will be
held in the air dome off the coast
of Bermuda, to catch the exotic
atmosphere necessary for a
thorough understanding of the
play, which remains a mystery.

Strato-trains will leave Main at
1900, and because of the occasion,
the D. O. has extended the Friday
time-limit until 0230.

The name for our spring dance
has been announced by Social
Council.

Called the "Satellite," its theme
will be the decade of 1954-1964.

The Andromedans will play, and
a special committee will be in

charge of finding people willing to
demonstrate the popular dances
of that period such as 'Twist."

The Interplanetary Languages
club will have as its guest speaker
Dr. Soochow Miller, the famous
Martian dead language authority.

Dr. Miller's topic will be: "The
Relation of Venusian Verbs and
Martian Idioms."

The Planet-Hoppers will remain
earth-bound for their next hop.
They plan to explore the Great
Fissure in the Pacific Ocean.

Campus
Countdown

Last weekend was a big one all
over the world.

A group of five seniors flew
to Munich for the annual Rosen-
montag beer festival.

These girls really took advan-
tage of the new rule passed last
week by Student Rules Commit-
tee.

This rule as we all know, per-
mits Agnes Scott girls to drink
anywhere on the other side of
the Atlantic.

This rule's twin, the "Pacific
Rule," may be o.k.'d this week.

These rules are a part of the
100th Anniversary Development
Program.

Senior majors in the Russo-
English Language and Literature
department took a field trip to
Moscow last week.

"Since the state of Russia has
been annexed to the U.S.A., great
improvements have been made in
that territory," reported one of the
participants.

Mr. and Mrs. Henri Jacobs an-
nounce the birth of twin daughters
in the A.S.C. Hospital.

The Jacobs reside with their
family in the married students'
dorm on N. Decatur Road.

Famed Alumnae
Return In Glory

By MARY LOU LAIRD

Attending the festivities in cele-
bration of ASCs 100th Annivers-
ary were several alumnae who
were enrolled at Scott 25 years
ago.

A number of these charming
ladies consented to talk with your
reporter about their experiences
after graduation from Scott.

Mrs. Harwood Bartlett, nee
Eleanor ' 'Monkey" Lee, arrived a
week before everyone else in order
to meet all the present students
and to attend a few classes "to
get back in the groove."

She and her husband, a promi-
nent Episcopal minister, are living
in the deserts of New Mexico and
are leaders in the current Indian
Civil Rights Movement.

She is also the author of the
best-seller, A Man Called Woody.

Another early arrival was Mrs.
Ijo Ting-Ling, nee Susan Keith-
Lucas, who lectured in Convoca-
tion last week on "Lyric Imagery
in Aeschylus."

Susan met her husband when
she was in Quemoy with the Peace
Corps. 'When he mentioned that
he spoke 13 languages, I just
couldn't resist him!"

Arriving fashionably late was
Jean McCurdy, known in the en-
tertainment field as Irma La

Student Group Announces
New Curriculum Changes

The Student Curriculum Com-
mittee announces the following
changes in the Agnes Scott curri-
culum for the 1989-90 school year:
The newly constructed Astro-
Science Building houses facilities
for these courses: Lunar Physics
101; Galactic Optics 211 (open to
upper-classmen only); and Ther-
modynamic Problems of Inter-
stellar Resolution Involving Elec-
tromagnetic Emulations from the
Nebulous Regions of Galactic Ex-
tremities 295 (hours to be ar-
ranged).

The Pyschology Department is
offering two new courses this year.

By popular demand, a course
entitled The Psychology of Al-
coholism lOla-c will be offered.

This course will be subdivided
into Social Alocholism, Experi-
mental Alcoholism, and Adolescent
Alcoholism.

Delerium Tremens Ol, an ap-
praisal of the more common types
of psychoses and psychoneuroses,
with emphasis on the sobering up
methodologies, will be offered.
lOla-c is a prerequisite for this
course.

The Music Department announ-
ces that it will offer Beatlemania
101, a study of stylistic character-
istics and elements of form, tonal
counted points, harmonics, lyricism,
hysteria and meter in American
popular music from 1964 to the
present.

Finally, the History and Political
Science Department is offering
Governmental Scandals 253a this

Spring Quarter. Scandals is open
to majors only and only with writ-
ten parental permission.

Bouche, the second M.M,

After college, Jean went back
to the Alamo and promptly took
up a singing career (Texas songs,
you know).

Hollywood soon heard of her
fame and snatched her up for the
female lead in a musical version
of Gone With the Wind.

Steadily, her charm endeared her
to the U. S. public.

In order to help in ASCs Cen-
tennial Funds Campaign, Jean has
offered to act as Honorary Chair-
man.

Also arriving late and breath-
less was Nancy Bradford, Editor of
The New York Times.

She turned down personal inter-
views at the White House and the
Kremlin in order to start national
coverage of this year's Scott Cam-
paign.

No doubt her memories of the
1964 Campaign and the college
newspaper influenced her decision.

Harriet King was also among
the group. Aside from her thriving
law practice, she is considering the
possibilities of running for Presi-
dent.

Her platform is that of a con-
servative less government spend-
ing, more states' rights.

Like Jean and Nancy, Harriet
is also a key leader in this year's
campaign.

It is regrettable that space does
not allow for more resumes of the
alumnae present. This cross-sec-
tion, though, should prove that lib-
eral arts graduates are capable of
success.

NSA Announces
Student Seminar

The United States National Stu-
dent Association has announced its
plans for the Twelfth International
Student Relations Seminar.

ISRS will be held June 14-August
27 at Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania.
The closing two weeks will take
place at the Seventeenth National
Student Congress on the University
of Minnesota campus.

The Seminar is designed as an
"eleven-week, expense-paid summer
training program ... to provide
. . . American students with an in-
timate understanding of the politics
of student groups in one hundred
countries."

It also prepares these students
for positions of active leadership
in American and international stu-
dent organizations.

The value of the summer study is
is its intellectual emphasis on com-
bined theory and practice.

There will be analysis of student
politics rather than a simple ac-
cumulation of facts.

The seminar speakers will include
representatives from various em-
bassies in the United States, the
UN delegations and committees, the
Peace Corps and "graduates" of
NSA.

As members of NSA, Agnes Scott
students have the opportunity to
participate in ISRS.

Anyone interested in the program
is asked to see Ann Foster or Har-
riet King for more detailed infor-
mation.

The final decisions on the applica-
tion forms are made by a national
Selections Committee.

All applications should be filed
before April 1, 1964.

Scotch Clan Chief
Presents Vision of
U.S. Woman Today

Dame Flora McLeod, head of the
McLeod clan, spoke in Convoca-
tion Wednesday, Feb. 26. Her topic
was "On a Vision for American
Womanhood."

Dame Flora's home is the Dun-
vagen Castle on the Isle of Skye off
the coast of Scotland. She is cur-
rently on a tour of the southern
states, and is bringing her piper
with her.

Al Kuethner of United Press,
who arranged this tour for Dame
Flora, introduced her.

Troupe From Paris
Does "L'Alouette"

By Marilyn Little

On Thursday, Feb. 26th, "L'Alou-
ette" by Jean Anouilh, will be pre-
sented in Gaines Auditorium at
8:30 p.m.

A traveling company of French
players, "Le Treteau de Paris,"
will perform in this famous adap-
tation of the story of Joan of Arc.

Anouilh bases his drama on his-
torical fact; but by his skillful time
technique of flashback sequences,
and by his excellent characteriza-
tion of Joan and the people involved
in her fate, the playwright is in-
ordinately able to transcribe the
bare facts of her story.

In this play, Anouilh celebrates

human experience and human good-
ness rather than the mysterious
and paradoxical goodness of God.

His point seems to be that one
must constantly rethink history,
judge its great figures for one's
own time, and extract from them a
meaning valid for oneself.

To emphasize his point, the con-
clusion of the play does not end
conventionally with the death of
Joan by fire or even with her canon-
ization but rather with the high
point of her career: the coronation
of the Dauphin.

"Thereby the audience is fur-
nished with a perspective on the
event simultaneously with the
event itself."

Within that perspective, Anouilh
leaves the audience with a new
image of Joan: a conquering hero-
ine, rather than a beleaguered
martyr.

The recreation of "L'Alouette"
by this company has been under
the supervision of Anouilh himself.

A reception will follow the per-
formance in order that faculty, stu-
dents, and guests may meet the
cast.

Junior and Senior French majors
will be ushers at the play and
hostesses at the reception.

Tickets, which will be sold with-
in the French classes and at the
door, are priced at $1.50 for stu-
dents and $2.50 for adults.

Emory University
Sponsors National
G.O.P. Convention

By Margaret Ryan

On April 17-19 Emory University
will be host to a mock GOP Na-
tional Convention which is to in-
clude delegates from 51 colleges in
Georgia.

These delegates will represent
50,000 students, and the number of
delegates from each college will be
directly proportional to the size of
the student body.

The purpose of this convention is
to provide Georgia college students
with an opportunity to learn more
about the "out-party" (party not in
White House) and the basic opera-
tions of our government.

Emory plans to hold a convention
such as this every four years.

Since the Southeastern Young
Republicans will be in Atlanta that
weekend, Emory hopes to have at
least two important Republicans as
speakers.

Invitations are being sent to
Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard
Nixon, Margaret Chase Smith, Wil-
liam Scranton, George Romney,
Thurston Morton, John Towers, and
others to be keynote speakers.

Agnes Scott is to send four dele-
gates to this convention, and the
methods of choosing candidates will
be announced at a later date.

ASC Group Debates
At City's Penitentiary

By Ginny Belcher

As a fitting climax to Saturday's
anniversary celebration, four Scot-
ties and their noble chaperone, Dr.
George P. Hayes, motored to the
federal penitentiary. The ostensible
purpose of the excursion was a de-
bate between the two institutions.
The students were also interested
in finding out how the other half
lives.

The debate topic was federal aid
to higher education, the issue be-
ing debated this year in colleges
throughout the country. Jean Hoef-
er and Margaret Rodgers, negative,
challenged the affirmative team of
the opposition.

After depositing all keys, drugs,
and knives at the gate, the visitors
were met by the director of edu-
cation and the debate coach. They
were immediately made to feel at
home when they were asked to
sign in.

The Scott representatives were
ushered through magic doors into a
modern attractive conference room.
They were greeted by ten or fifteen
men who had assembled to hear the
battle of wits.

The debate itself was excellent,
and, incidentally, was awarded to
the affirmative by the judge.

After several minutes of friendly
discussion of the debate issue, pol-
itics, libraries, the weather, etc.,
Dr. Hayes and his girls were es-
corted once again into the outside
world, where they signed out and
reclaimed the articles mentioned
above.

The general impression unani-
mously agreed upon by those at-
tending was favorable. The men

were attractive, friendly and intel-
ligent. They did not exaggerate or
avoid the fact that they were in
prison. They were interested in
meeting and talking to people and
in keeping up with current affairs.

In their "leisure" time the men
are offered such activities as voca-
tional training, academic courses
on the high school level, and chess,
debate, and bridge clubs.

Since Agnes Scott lost the debate
someone suggested that we might
be able to beat them in a bridge
tournament, since bridge is the
sport most often used to fill "leis-
ure" time at the college.

Dr. Frankl lectures tonight at
8:15 p.m. in Gaines Chapel. Stu-
dents are reminded that admission
to the lecture is by ticket only.

Afterwards, from 9:15 to 10 p.m.,
there will be an informal coffee for
students, faculty, staff and special
guests to be held in Rebekah Recep-
tion Room.

Tomorrow for the chapel program
at 10:30 a.m., Dr. Frankl will hold
a question and answer period aris-
ing out of tonight's lecture, "Man
in Search for Meaning."

The public is invited to his talk
at 12 noon tomorrow in Maclean
Auditorium when he will speak pri-
marily for the students of Psy-
chology 312.

Student Election Petitions
Due February 27

2 THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Wednesday, February 26, 1964

What Now?

We've been wondering how deep an impression the words
of our Judicial Chairman last week made on the student
body.

Undoubtedly, the-powers-that-be (and we do not mean
that derogatorily) considered the existing atmosphere crit-
ical enough to warrant such words.

No matter which side of the honor system fence one
is on, it would seem to us that the situation as it was
described does exist.

Those who believe in Agnes Scott's honor system and
want to maintain it and those who don't, have together
created the "sick" and apathetic atmosphere. Honor has
indeed become an individual matter.

There seems to have been little relation of differing view-
points on the campus this year.

The reasons for this, as it concerns the Honor System,
were probably all brought out in the hall discussions last
Thursday.

One inescapable explanation that we heard, immature re-
action though it may seem to some, is the bitter disillusion-
ment that others have felt with the questionnaire results
last spring.

Those who are not convinced that they actually gave their
word to obey The Rules and to turn themselves in if they
broke the same, have catapulted themselves into what had
been a constrained attitude :

"I am here to get an education. My social standards
are my own. I will not be forced to act against what I
believe."

The countering argument "But don't you believe in
Honor?" is met with "Yes, but there are more important
things to apply my honor to than a few rules whose viola-
tion should not be so important to an academic institution."

The validity of the former argument is that Honor can
not be so dissected. Aware of the implications or not, we
did promise to uphold Agnes Scott's Honor System.

The validity of the latter argument can be understood if
one realizes the difference between one's attitude when she
says now, "I promise you" or "I give you my word of honor"
and the attitude with which she signed what-most-of-us-
can't-remember-we-signed on admission.

A question evolves out of the differing viewpoints:
"Does one's honor realize itself (in the philosphical
sense) and become meaningful only if one is aware of
the specific implications?"

A 17-year-old girl admitted to the college she will attend
(her choice or not) is aware of few things other than Come
September.

Agnes Scott is celebrating her 75th anniversary this year.
We are constantly being reminded of the college as an in-
stitution that has stood for those many years.

The blatant echo of Eleanor's words last week is that
Agnes Scott has not merely stood, but stood for some-
thing for 75 years.

Few of us have realized the strength of her stand until
this controversy over The Rules.

When the latter's practicality is so repugnant to so many
people, it is difficult to associate their function to a more
admirable abstract thing such as Honor.

What we must realize, though, is that for those
who've made the rules and the Honor System of Agnes
Scott, there is no real distinction.

By our rebellion against the rules or, as the atmosphere
on campus indicates, our increasing disregard for them
we are, in the eyes of those-powers-that-be (again, not
used derogatorily), attacking the Honor System itself.

This, they cannot and will not tolerate. The Board of
Trustees, the administration, etc., may attempt to change
the rules, but, probably only if the current test-of-wills is
eased.

We, and only we, the student body, can afford to ease
the situation.

Right or not, like it or not, it seems as if we are the ones
who must be flexible and conciliatory in order for Agnes
Scott to become the type of college it needs to be in the
future.

The decision is ours. What now?

I spend most of my time com-
plaining in this column, and prob-
ably you are tired of it. Actually,
I'm rather tired of it myself.

However, now I feel that I have
finally arrived at the right state of
apathy, so that I can accept things
which I do not like, and not bother
to complain about them.

Take the social rules for instance.

We seniors have been complain-
ing about them for four years now;
we have talked to the "powers,"
circulated petitions, and threatened
a dire future for Agnes Scott if
they were not altered so as to be in
keeping with the twentieth century.

For what? Four years later
I can drink out of town, at a fel-
low student's home, if I have
permission from my hostess and
my mother.

Apathy Only Answer

CAMPUS
COUNTDOWN

Oh, spring is going to be so, so
nice! No telling what the score is
going to be after Sadie Hawkins
Day, February 29, but so far 1964
has seen many an Agnes Scottie
really playing that game.

Marge Joyce has been wearing
Rick Cromer's Phi Delt (Tech) pin
for night on six weeks now.

Beck Johnson decided to trade
James McCraye's pin (he's a fra-
ternity brother of Rick's) for an
engagement ring.

A few other pins-for-rings trade
have taken place:

Judy Connor is now engaged to
Frank Scarbrough, ATO president
at Tech.

Bobby Holman, also an ATO at
Tech is now engaged to junior
Becky Beusse.

Others just-engaged are Joh-
nana Sundy and David Walker.
They are hoping for a late June
wedding.

Barbara Chambers is now en-
gaged to Bruce, whose Chi Phi pin
she had been wearing.

Mae Hall and Tommy are plan-
ning a November wedding. (She, for
those who may not have heard
the announcement in front of the
Hub, received her ring a few weeks
ago).

Sue Ellen Wheless has a ring
from an ATO graduate of Tech.

Lila Sheffield and Slocum Howland
are planning their wedding for
early June.

Diane Hunter and Bill Cox have
decided their wedding date will be
May 27.

Sarah Stowers has received her
engagement ring from Fred Modre,
a senior at Tech.

Eleanor Lee and Harwood

"Woody" Bartlett have also an-
nounced their engagement. He, as
everyone knows, is the closest Scott
has to a campus chaplain.

See Page 4, Col. 3.

For that I wasted so many long
hours to change the status quo?

Outside social restrictions I have
also beat my head against a stone
wall. Do they post menus in the
Dining Hall? Does the Treasurer's
Office have more convenient hours ?
What do you think ?
We must realize what our posi-
tion is at Agnes Scott. W r e are
not really given the opportunity
either to make rules or change
them (one exception a biased
questionnaire).
See what I mean ? Apathy is the
only escape: to be able to say that
you truthfully do not care whether
Agnes Scott changes its rules or
not.

Either you love her anyway, or
you are counting the days 'til you
graduate.

This is not to say that you trans-
fer your apathy to the realm of
academics, of course. If you chan-
nel your energies into your studies
and don't bother about the fate of
the Agnes Scott social restrictions,
undoubtedly your learning will in-
crease.

If you get really discouraged,
read Plato's "Republic" or More's
"Utopia" or something to encour-
age you.

Thus, either love your school or
hate it, it does not make much dif-
ference. But either way, don't worry
about it.

It isn't worth the sacrifice of
whatever remnants of idealism
you have left to put all your
energies into "tilting at wind-
mills.

Active or Passive

We have heard much about apathy on our campus recently.
Could it be that this state of unconcern extends to our
world, nation and city?

This disinterest should not be a facet of today's American
woman. To be actively concerned means keeping informed
about current issues, decisions, and events.

But does it not also involve something more?

Radio, television, newspapers and magazines pour a bar-
rage of information upon us.

Absorbing this, we can either say "Oh, really," and for-
get most of it or we can do something about it.

Discussing events with others in order to learn their
views is one means through which we can express our
concern.

Joining a political club such as the Young Democrats or
the Young Republicans is a more active expression of in-
terest.

These clubs not only stimulate interest but force each
member to gain a thorough understanding of his own
thoughts.

Recently students, acting on their convictions, have
been making news in Atlanta and the South. These stu-
dents are not afraid to act when they feel action is
necessary to maintain their intellectual integrity.

We do not presume to judge the actions of these students.
The question of whether they are right or wrong is a ques-
tion for each individual to decide.

We do feel, however, that they show us one thing: that
we must constantly strive to know what we believe is right,
and then not be afraid to believe it.

Certainly each individual must choose the path which
is best for her. We maintain, however, that if one be-
lieves in an ideal, one has made a commitment.

The late John F. Kennedy liked the saying that "the sole
prerequisite for the ultimate triumph of evil is that good
men do nothing." J. Clark

Leap Year Comes,
Presents Timeless
Chance of Pursuit

By Diane Pulignano

Nothing, they say, remembers
like the currently popular elephant,
but when it comes to Sadie Hawk-
in's Day, women can put elephants
to shame.

Males, feigning ignorance most
likely, may ask who this Sadie
lady is and when her day is. Fe-
males, with unerring practicality,
answer, "Who cares?!" Everyone
gets the general idea.

The general idea is that girls
have the inalienable right to the
happiness of pursuit. The tradi-
tional rule has been that anything
in long pants and short hair may
be chased and caged by anything
in skirts and long hair.

Amendments have been made in
modern times, naturally, to exclude
female wheat-jeans fans from the
male grouping, and to include the
Beatle-type boys.

The law is even flexible enough
to include boys in dresses, al-
though very few of these have
been observed except at Agnes
Scott mixers, of course.

February 29th alone has long
been recognized as insufficient time
in which to corner a man, and the
women have been extended a later
time limit.

It was once thought that men
were in hiding, or that they were
too strong for their female assilants
on Sadie Hawkins Day, but these
excuses for failure are definitely
outmoded.

Now it is evident that (a) fe-
males can obviously learn nothing
from watching the way men oper-
ate, and (b) single (and poten-
tially lonely, we remind them)
young men are too busy yelling
"pseudo" this and that, that they
can hardly be attractive to the ob-
jects of their name calling.

But considering that this is all
we have that fits under the cate-
gory, "our opposites," we are eager
to know what to do with our Sadie
Hawkin's Year.

The newspaper, always on the
spot with constructive information,
offers these suggestions, compiled
from watching notorious Agnes
Scott students (if you don't know
them, you don't go here) :

1. Get yourself elected social
chairman of your class, borrow a
car, and personally invite every boy

On (iouA mqhk <

in every fraternity to your class
mixer.

2. Get phone co-op as often as
possible. Talk to every boy who
calls. Be charming.

3. Visit Watson's or the Pizza
place every night. You've seen this
one work.

4. Get on service scholarship and
have hostess duty in Main. Snake
like crazy. If your father has
money, that lets you out, but then
it seems that you could buy your
way into some fraternity.

5. Go to church Sunday morning,
Sunday afternoon, and Sunday
night. There's more than one kind
of salvation.

If you can't think of more on your
own, perhaps you need to be re-
classified.

One last note does anyone know
why we make so much of this par-
ticular year? It seems to me that
these practices are timeless. Well,
somebody has to be Sir Galahad.

Greenroom Efforts
Spark Blackfriars
In Winter Quarter

Blackfriars has held three
"Greenroom" session this quarter
on make-up, the stage and props,
and lighting.

The final session, on Wednesday,
March 4 will be on costumes.

The prop room has been painted
this quarter with Malinda Snow as
the chief painter.

Betsy Feuerlein is in charge of
planning an inventory of stage
materials.

The spring play and cast will be
officially announced soon.

You've got two tests and a paper
tomorrow when you suddenly real-
ize you'd promised Alice you'd be
sure to get up the posters for that
chapel.

Or three days after you were
supposed to help send out notices
about a meeting, you remember
that you 'forgot' in all the rush
of more exciting activities.

Well, somehow your job got
done, so why worry?

But how did your job get done?
Sure you had an excuse, and any-
one will admit that your studying
is more important than some little
busy work.

Students Decline Toil,
Receive Vain Honors

But still either the job didn't get
done, or someone else did it.

And what about that someone
else's studying? Maybe she had
a test but just felt more respon-
sible than you did.
Extra-curricular activities have
real, positive values and can be a
lot of fun.

They also, however, often require
some time spent on picky details,
planning meetings you'd rather not
attend, and inconvenient duties.

Some people on this campus,
and the number seems to be in-
creasing (though it may be just a
winter quarter symptom I
hope), like the honor of a position
and a title but would prefer to
let someone else do the work.

Every Blackfriars' program,
News, Arora, or Silhouette or club
officer's list includes names of some

of those "responsible" people who
somehow managed to get away with
little or no work.

No one can force you to take
responsibility, and many times
your neglect of duties is known
only to the one or two people
who had to fill in for you.

And if you aren't found out, you
may even get elected to another,
even more 'responsible' office this
next year, and have even more
work to let someone else do for you.

Obviously the problem of people-
who-promise-to- wovk-and-then-
don't doesn't apply to everyone,
since most of the jobs do get done
somehow.

It does apply far too often,
however, and shows a distressing
lack of the responsibility which
we always think we want since
it comes with freedom.

Senior Musicians
Give Organ, Piano
Recitals in March

By Jennie McMurray

On Sunday, March 1, at 3:15 p.m.,
Sylvia Chapman will give her sen-
ior organ recital in Gaines Chapel.

Miss Chapman will play "Toccata
Per Elevaxione" by Girolamo Fres-
cobaldi, "Basse et Dassus de Tro-
pette" by Louis Nicholas Cleram-
bault, and "Pdelude and Fugue in F
Minor" by J. S Bach.

The recital will also include
"Choral No. 3 in A Minor" by Cesar
Franck, Prelude on Brother James's
Air by Searle Wright, and Dialogue
Sur les Mixtures by Jean Langlais.

On Sunday, March 8, at 3:15 p.m.,
Martha Kissinger will give her sen-
ior piano recital in McLean Audi-
torium.

Miss Kissinger will play "Sonata
in D Minor" by Beethoven, "Ballade
in G Minor by Chopin, "Intermezzo,
Opus 118, No. 3," by Brahms,
"Saraband" From "Suite Your le
Piano" by Debussy and "Rhapsody"
by Dohnanyi.

The public is cordially invited to
attend these recitals.

The independent college belongs to those who believe
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 indepen-
dent college abides as a citadel of the unfettered mind and
spirit.

Founded 1889

An independent liberal arts college for women of highest rank

Junior Critics See "Tom Jones/ 7
Enjoy Addition of Eating Scene

By Jere Keenan
and

Diane Pulignano

If you think you are escaping
from academics by flitting off to
the movies, the Comfortable Capri
may have a big English technicolor
surprise for you. The movie Tom
Jones (advertised "for adults only ,, )
adheres closely to the tone of the
novel.

The music is light and bouncy,
and the movie hops from scene to
scene just as Tom himself hops
from bed to bed (or field to field, as
the case may be). Don't be fright-
ened away by rumors of Tom's im-
moral antics even Eeyore was
seen there.

The movie does, of course, omit
or change many episodes included
in the novel. The tone, however, is
not altered by these changes, and
the characters shown are very well
cast.

One hilariously funny addition is
what may be known to future gene-
rations as "The Eating Scene."
Here Mrs. Waters devours various
cows, pigs, chickens and voluptuous
fruits with increasing abandon. As
is to be expected, this acts as an
aphrodisiac to Tom, who follows her
to her room. Hop!

In addition, Molly, Black George
and peers are convincingly dirty;
Thwackum and Square, appropri-

ately designing; and Blifil is most
wonderfully blifily (in a pimply
sort of way). It goes without say-
ing that Mrs. Waters carries her-
self well.

It never enters the viewer's mind
to pronounce adverse moral judg-
ments, for our favorite subject,
sex, is treated in much the same
way as in Irma La Douce.

The rapid succession of scenes
and events hardly admits time for
moralizing, and, even in retrospect,
one can only say that Tom Jones is
boisterous, natural, and overwhelm-
ing attractive.

If this doesn't sound like the
Tom Jones you know, chances are
you've been trying too hard to be
intellectual, or have been reading
too fast or sporadically.

A. A. Advertises
Fantasia, Sports

BY
MARTHA
MONTMEAT

You may have noticed strange
sounds in the mailroom as of late.

Tickets for "Fantasia" are now
being sold in the mailroom and the
strange sounds emanate from a
record by the Zodiacs the group
which will be with us at the dance.

This was a clever gimmick de-
vised by A. A. to promote ticket
sales.

(There are lists posted in the
various dorms indicating the times
that tickets will be sold.)

Other nifty advertisements you
may have noticed are the plain
white pieces of paper with only a
few black lines and the date,
"March 7th" on them.

While you probably have
noticed these, you may well have
not understood them. And, of
course, this was exactly the point.
That is, it was hoped that these
"notices" would catch the eye and
cause the general public to wonder
exactly to what it was they were
referring.

Then, after what would take a
long period of consideration the
idea would be inextricably im
planted in the oV memory for good.

An ingenius scheme, thought
A. A.; this being the age of psy-
chology, the Cold War, and all,
this w ill surely be the most effec-
tive approach; after all this is an
appeal which the younger gene-
ration can really understand.

Following this line of thought,
then, nothing would be able to stop
the tremendous demand for tickets

However, sales just don't seem
to be at their maximum exactly.

Thus, it was felt that if the
signs were explained (though
of course, this does do something

Be sure your matches are all
played off so that you will be elig-

Last Friday's basketball games
were quite exciting there was
an exceptional amount of fouling.

The Seniors beat the Juniors 46-
17, and the Sophomores beat the
Frosh, 34-29.

As it stands now, the Seniors, of
course, are in first place with five
wins and no losses.

The Juniors and Sophomores
are tied in second place with two
wins and three losses each. The
Freshmen are last with only one
win and four losses.
The game scheduled for this Fri-
day will not be held then instead
it will be played next week.

This is certain to be an exciting
match as the Juniors and Sopho-

Campus Countdown

Continued from Page 2.

Peggy Rose is wearing the Phi
Gamm pin of Bob Day, a junior
at MIT.

Eddie Hookes, a Sigma Nu at
Tech, has given his pin to sopho-
more Angie Holt.

Out of the round of fraternity
festivities recently, Agnes Scott
has come out with several on sweet-
heart courts.

Diane Miller was named Swet-
heart of the Kappa Sigs at Tech;
Betsy Freuerlein for the Chi Psi's.

So, this is a partial list of those
couplies who will bring the true
spirit of spring to the campus next
quarter.

Our apologies to those we may
have missed in this countdown.
Hold on until the next issue!

Mr. Singdahlsen coaches Pam, Susan and Malie Bruton for their roles in the
forthcoming plays.

Singdahlsen's Group
Presents Three Plays

Three short, twentieth century
plays will be presented in Maclean
at 7:30 p.m. on March 3.

Malie Bruton, Susan Spahr, Pam
Gilbreath, and Dave Anderson, a
student at Columbia Theological
Seminary, will cast the three ex-
amples of modern drama forms, as
a part of the acting class project.

"Riders to the Sea," by John M.
Synge, is "a tragic play, though
not a tragedy," according to Mr.
Singdahlsen, who is directing the
group.

Shorter than one act are the two
other plays, Arthur Schnitzler's
"Milestones" and "Act Without
Words II," an example of the the-
atre of the absurd by the contem-
porary playwrite Samuel Beckett.

The members of the cast, with
the exception of Anderson, are tak-
ing Drama 211, Fundamentals of
Acting. The purpose of the per-
formance, according to Singdahl-
sen, is to give the class the oppor-
tunity to bring something to pro-
duction.

After the plays, the cast will eex-
plain to the audience how they de-
veloped their parts. The audience

is invited to ask questions concern-
ing this development or the plays
themselves.

The plays will be presented as
lab productions, without lights or
scenery, in contrast to Blackfriars
performances.

All interested persons are invited
to come and participate in the ses-
sion.

Velkoff Holds Final

Group Plans
Spring Trips

By Jinna Clark

Agnes Scott Glee Club perform-
ances for the spring quarter will
include joint programs with Se-
wanee, a concert before the South-
eastern University and College Bus-
iness Managers convention and the
annual spring concert in Gaines.

On April 17, the group will pre-
sent a 20 minute program at the
Dinkier Plaza Hotel before the Bus-
iness Managers convention. Rep-
resentatives from colleges and uni-
versities in 14 states will be present.

Sunday, May 10, at 8:15 p.m.,
the Agnes Scott Glee Club will host
the Sewanee Glee Club. The two
groups will join in singing Faure's
"Requiem." The second half of the
program will be presented by Se-
wanee alone.

May 16, the Glee Club will sing
at Sewanee when the joint work
will be Benjamin Brittain's "Re-
joice in the Lamb." After intermis-
sion, the Agnes Scott Glee Club will
sing alone.

Friday, May 22, the Glee Club
will hold its spring concert in
Gaines Auditorium. The program
will consist of music composed ex-
clusively by contemporary com-
posers.

Vincent Persichetti's "Hist
Whist," with words by E. E. Cum-
mings, "What Will Love Do" with
words by Robert Herrick, music by
Burrill Phillips, and "Bought
Locks," Peter Minnin's setting of
the Latin poet Martial's poem about
a blonde wig, will make up the first
section of the concert.

"Verses from the Book of Ruth,"
a cantata written in 1959 by the
Chilean Claudio Spies will be the
major work performed.

Glee Club Director Richard Hen-
sel explained that the work is
written in "a 12 tone system insur-
ing atonality."

The music is not often per-
formed by amateur groups because
of its technical difficulty.

The song cycle "A Goodly Heri-
tage" by Gordon Jacob will be ac-
companied with strings and piano
played by members of the Atlanta
Symphony.

The cycle is a setting for poems
by Shakespeare, John Bunyan, Ro-
setti, Lovelace, Philip Sidney, Grey,
Robert Herrick, William Blake and
Shelley.

The concert will conclude with
Hansel's modern settings of four
folk songs: "On Top of Old Smoky,"
"Oh, Dear, What Can the Matter
Be," "He's Goin' Away," and
"Cindy."

Fantasia Reflects
Liberal Innovations

By Jere Keenan

The annual spring dance will be
held this year in the dead of winter
quarter. It will perhaps boost our
sagging morale.

The dance to be called Fantasia
will be this Saturday night,
March 7, from 8 until 12 p.m. at
the Americana Hotel.

Maurice ("Stay") Williams and
the Zodiacs have been chosen to
provide the musical entertainment.

Plans for the dance, described
as the "best ever," include quite a
few new ideas.

Previously boys were forced to
pay for the hundreds of soft drinks
which Scott girls consume during

parties.

The coke situation has long been
a point of contention between the
Scott girl and her date.

Students will be pleased to learn
that refreshments (coke type) will
be served free of charge.

What about the "critical dating
situation at Scott"?

This problem too has been solved
for the occasion. Jan Kelsey has
agreed to provide blind dates for
those of us who have been turned
down by the Beatles.

The Dean's Staff has allowed us
another liberal 3 a.m. permission
for the dance.

Rumor has it, however, that at

12 midnight the beautiful ballroom
turns into just another hotel and
we all know what that means.

It means that we must all go
elsewhere to amuse ourselves until
3 a.m.

Dress for the dance will be either
semi-formal or formal so open
your closet, close your eyes, and
point!

Tickets are being sold in the mail
room and in the dining room by
A.A. and Social Council members.
Price? only one twenty-fifth of 100
dollars.

Buy your tickets now this may
be your only opportunity to spend
a Saturday night in a motel.

Lecture Offends Students

By Diane Pulignano

Mr. Al Kuettner of UPI an-
nounced that he had brought us a
big news story, and with that the
strangest chapel ever witnessed be-
gan.

Without further explanation, he
introduced a Japanese couple whom
we greeted with enthusiastic clap-
ping. Our politeness was immedi-
ately rewarded.

The attractive Japanese woman
began to acclaim loudly that her
country was a country of imitators,
and that it was to the United States
that Japan was looking for leader-
ship.

A representative from Great Brit-
ain bounded to the podium and ex-
pressed the subservience of England
to the United States and affirmed
the pupil-teacher relationship be-
tween the two countries.

The temptation toward yelling
in Cassius-like fashion "We are the
greatest!" would at this point have
been strong if it were not for cer-
tain historical facts disproving the
statements of our foreign visitors.

Arresting words and people,
present and absent, continued to fly
by. Mr. Kuettner introduced his
wife (why not?), and Peter How-
ard, who wasn't there, was elab-
orately introduced.

Dame Flora McLeod, main
speaker, was introduced toward the
end of the chapel period in one of
the most thing-filled, name-filled
few minutes ever experienced.

Dame Flora, a charming and at-

tractive personality, began an in-
teresting talk, but one curiosly un-
related to the announced topic, "A
Vision for American Womanhood."

Perhaps she might have gotten
around to that; no one will ever
know since she was reminded by a
number of tugs on her suit by Mrs.
Peter Howard that the show must
go on.

She expressed the hope that we
would learn to love the music of
her country as she had ours, and
Mr. Kuettner immediately nulli-
fied the thought by telling a joke
in which several people were killed
by the sound of bagpipe music.

Rumors of Fascist leanings are
based on the fact that Frank Buch-
man, originator of the "Oxford"
movement from which Moral Re-
Armament grew, is said to have
supported Hitler.

In an attempt to clear Buchman
of this charge, Howard says in
"The World Rebuilt," "The fact
is that Buchman never met Hitler,
and Hitler was too cautious to get
into Buchman's orbit."

The students then received Sandy
Gordon and his music with appre-
ciation and followed him out accord-
ing to the orders of Mr. Kuettner.

What was it all about? The pro-
gram was typical of the way in
which the Moral Re-Armament
workers present themselves to the
public.

Moral Re-Armers are no strang-
ers to Agnes Scott; they have come
to our campus for a number of

Budapest Quartet Here
Performance To Be
Friday Evening 8:15

years, and at one time they even
brought us an elaborate play writ-
ten by Peter Howard, the leader of
the group.

The group has been observed to
ally itself with the moneyed peo-
ple of a district and to drop names
of these people, as well as of other
famous personalities, in order, we
suppose, to ground itself in tradi-
tion and culture.

Such a practice has earned the
group a reputation for snobbery in
some cases.

This statement seems neither to
clear Buchman nor to represent
Hitler accurately.

In a generous contribution of his
time, Mr. Tumblin discovered that
Moral Re-Armament is not on the
Attorney General's list of subver-
sive activities.

This fact is directly opposed to
campus rumor; students are
warned, therefore, that opinions
should never be taken for fact.
This includes the opinions of mem-
bers of the faculty.

People, are all too ready, it seems,
to brand groups with titles, espec-
ially in the deep South.

Still, Agnes Scott students have
the feeling that something was very
wrong with the chapel presentation.
We despise the flattery, the name-
dropping, and the underestimation
of our intelligence.

Why was not the material pre-
sented with the emphasis in the
right place, or at least with some
emphasis ?

Perhaps they do not know the
student mind, or perhaps they have
geared their program to what they
believe to be the norm of Georgia.

In an attempt to have some of
these questions answered, this
writer called Mr. Kuettner for fur-
ther information.

This he promised to send, in-
cluding facts about the conference
and where the group spends their
money.

This information will be made
available to the student body as
soon as it arrives.

ASP Formed

On Tuesday, Feb. 25, at approximately 9 p.m. a new organ-
ization was born in Atlanta, the Atlanta Student Press, or
as a prominent columnist of the "Technique" has termed it,
"ASP."

The local institutions of higher learning were represented
by their respective newspaper editors at a meeting at Georgia
State College.

Their hostess, Cary Howard, editor of the Georgia
State College "Signal," had, with the aid of her manag-
ing editor, Mike Jones, conceived of an idea for the organi-
zation and cooperation of the various school newspapers.

It was felt that the lack of internewspaper communication
had become a tedious and mutually detrimental fact on all
our campuses.

The news has been transferred previously by the exchange
of newspapers sometimes after their release to the home
campus.

The news that reaches any other college in the vicinity
is often too late to benefit the other student bodies.

As the Atlanta Student Press is set up, this problem will
be eliminated for the most part.

A central office has been set up at Georgia State College
to which each college press will send stories they feel would
be beneficial to other student groups.

The main office will then make enough copies of these

stories to send one to each college in the organization.

This whole process will take less than two days, thus the
news will be prevented from becoming stale before reaching
everyone, and the news scope of each college newspaper will
be vastly increased.

The members of this new organization include Georgia
State College, Georgia Tech, Spellman College, Morehouse
College, Emory University and Agnes Scott.

There remain certain potential candidates for member-
ship, and it is hoped that the number of member colleges

will eventually rise to 11.

This plan was put into operation immediately with the
understanding that a trial period of a few months would be
necessary before the value of the organization could be
determined.

The system will remain on a trial basis for the next few
months during which time the "Agnes Scott News" will
expend its greatest effort to realize the potentialities of the
new Atlanta Student Press. S. Pockel

m

Much has been said this past quarter about the apathy and
indifference on campus . . . perhaps too much.

It is therefore refreshing to know that positive steps are
being taken to help remedy the situation by means of making
Student Government more responsive to the needs of the
school.

The Student Rules Committee has come up with some
interesting suggestions for a reorganization in Student
Government that should have significant consequences.

Among these is the separation of Judicial Council into an
"Honor Court" which would handle only major transgressions,
and individual Dorm Judiciaries, which would handle such
matters as lateness, chaperonage, sign-out, etc.

This would, of course, mean the reduction of the size of
Judicial Council to about twelve members, including the re-
moval of the Secretary and Treasurer of Student Government
from the Council.

One could appeal a Dorm Council's decision to the Honor
Board, and from there she could appeal, of course, to the
Student Body.

Student Government would be primarily focused upon

the activities of Rep. Council, in conjunction with the

Honor Board and the Dorm Judiciaries.

But both Rules Committee and Administrative Committee
agreed that these proposals should not be put to a vote by
the Student Body yet in view of the fact that we're still be-
coming oriented to the reorganizations that took place two
years ago.

So this is probably the first time in Scott history that
faculty and students have agreed that changes in the status
quo would be too much, too soon.

Also under discussion are several issues which might

warrant some more scrutiny.

For instance, a reduction of the size of Social Council and
Athletic Association, or even a reorganization of these boards
into committees might make them more efficient.

The establishment of a Publications Board to unify and
co-ordinate school publications is worth considering.

This Board alone would elect the editors, rather than

the members of the Student Body, who sometimes have

no way of knowing who is best qualified for the job.

Whether one thinks the present organization is fine as it
is, or whether one thinks it is a needless bureaucracy, in any
case, a consideration of these proposals should be of interest.

They could be a definite step in the direction of making
the boards of Student Government more effective, efficient
and representative governing bodies.

Letters To

The Editor

Dear Editor:

In this year of our Seventy-fifth
Anniversary we have been hearing
a great deal about the administra-
tion's, and, no doubt, the students'
desire for Agnes Scott to become
a "great" college.

We have been told that by in-
creasing our endowment, we will
enable our school to reach a level
of greatness in the academic world.

But is this concept limited to our
intellectual life?

It would seem so, but hopefully
it is not thus intended. If Agnes
Scott's greatness were only of an
academic nature, she would never
be truly great.

Our highest endeavors should
certainly extend beyond this area,
granted that it is an important one.
The first principle of the Agnes
Scott purpose is indeed "the em-
phasis of high intellectual attain-
ment."

Our greatness should, I believe,
be one by which a liberal arts col-
lege produces well-rounded grad-
uates "able to assume responsibility
in the community in which . . .
[they] live, both now and in the
future, and to maintain an educated
concern for the world of today."

We spend three hours in classes.
If we are so fortunate, we may
spend an hour on personal cleanli-
ness, seven in bed, two at meals,
and one on a trip to Watson's,
Decatur, or the Hub.

We do not have a well-rounded
life here.

Agnes Scott could easily breed a
graduate who can offer the world
nothing but her shining intellect.
Most of us have more freedom to
judge and think for ourselves at
home than we do at college.

We are not offered an adequate
opportunity to come into contact
with many of the concepts and
habits which will challenge our one-
sided views when we leave Agnes
Scott.

To develop this graduate, we are
given three other fields of concern:
religious, athletic, and social.

But do we enter these fields? Or,
to put the question more directly,
do we have the time to develop
ourselves in these aspects?

Our life here is centered around
books. Six hours of daily prepara-
tion are an expected minimum for
three subjects.

This schedule leaves four hours
to develop ourselves in three other
major ways, and I would suggest
that if any factor is neglected here,
it is the essential study required
for those joys of living termed
papers and quizzes joys which so
often deprive us of our attempts
to be well-rounded.

I believe that a student's life at
Agnes Scott is lop-sided.

Personally, I have found the qual-
ity of the work demanded to be
much less challenging than the
quantity a definite endurance test.
So we might pursue our college
years and how well would they
prepare us, mature us for the years
which lie ahead ?

We will have delayed facing
many important social, political,
and spiritual problems by four
years. And we will be unable to de-
fend our way of life because we
have been isolated from others who
believe in their way as fanatically
as we do.

'Basic Philosophy of the College
Should Withstand Pressures 7

BY
SUE
KEITH-
LUCAS

We laughed at the pictures in
last Sunday's newspaper as we
looked at Agnes Scott life 75 years
ago. We also find a feeling of a
totally different world as we think
about all the rules and academic
changes.

It is easy, however, to become
so amused by the changes, par-
ticularly during an anniversary cel-
ebration, that we miss the essential
purposes of Agnes Scott in 75 years
of educating women.

The purpose of the college it-
self does not change, but the

purpose can involve and require
change as Agnes Scott attempts
to educate us in a world that
won't stop.

Within this purpose, there is a
great deal of room for specific al-
terations in social rules and even
in academic regulations.

There is not room, however, for
changes, student-pressured or
otherwise, that interfere with the
basic philosophy of the college.
Minor changes will come, in
time, but they have very little
to do with our essential purpose
in being here.

We are certainly allowed to com-
plain, and we ought to try to change
constructively as our world changes.

If, however, change and com-
plaints about change or lack of it,
become central to our purposes, we
have lost the whole reason for com-
ing to college in the midst of com-
parative trifles.

I believe that three existing pol-
icies at Agnes Scott are examples
of this isolationist trend.

The drinking policy is the first.
Many parents may approve a rule
which denies their daughter liquor
for her "protection." Many students
may feel that liquor is a social
evil. But in these formative years,
if the student is denied a chance
to decide how to handle the problem
of drinking, she is left unprotected
when she departs from college.

She is deprived of personal ex-
perience, a better teacher than par-
ents, professors, or rules.

The honor system is the second
policy.

The basic administrative motiva-
tions of the college have remained
unchanged for seventy-five years,
barring minor alterations which
even the strictest school would have
been forced to concede as time
passed.

I feel that in the last analysis, a
struggle for personal honor must
be settled inside the individual.
Perhaps a student breaks the drink-
ing rule and a good friend who is
aware of the infraction approaches
her.

The girl knows that now, no mat-
ter what the outcome of her inward
struggle, she will be turned in.

She obviously turns herself in
since she cannot avoid punishment,
reflecting that she had better be
come careful the next time if
there is one and nursing a grudge
against her friend.

The narrow political conservatism
on campus is the last policy.

I believe that Agnes Scott needs
a new liberal outlook to become
great but let me define the word
"liberal," for many of you will im-
mediately begin to think me social-
istic, immoral, unchristian, and un-
American.

There is no provision within the
school for really coming to grips
with true Communist, Socialist, and
Leftist believers. Isolating our-
selves from these evils if we could
prove to a Communist that his
theory was evil will not educate
us about them or enahle us to de-
fend our own country.

A Southerner in Moscow would
be laughed off the street.

And, finally, to return to our de-
sire for greatness, is not the wide-
spread discontent or "sickness" on
campus proof of the fact that we
are far from great? No brilliant
scholastic level can nullify this cur-
rent trend.

Are we really on the road to be-
coming great?

Beauty Needs Sleep
As Well As Clothes

The other day I heard one of the
nastiest rumors I've heard since
this time two years ago when I
found out I was flunking every-
thing.

I heard that Social Council
might put the dress policy on the
call down system.

I think all of us will agree that
people should look neat so that if
any rich old men who endow schools
should happen to drop by, they will
see all the little Scotties dressed all
nice and looking pretty. No nasty
sweatshirts to obstruct their view
of feminine loveliness.

8:30 Saturday morning class?

Which is more important, sleep
or sweatshirts?

It seems to me that with all the
rules we have already which you
get call downs for if you break,
the one thing this campus does not
need is a whole new set of rules
that are aimed toward making you
have a campus date every Friday.

I can certainly see why Agnes
Scott would not like to see Lady
Godiva on campus. But if you're
covered, you're covered. Isn't that
enough? Why worry about rich
old men? We've got our money
already.

How can Agnes Scott expect
anyone to take her seriously if she
regards wearing your pajamas to
the Dining Hall the same type of
offense as not signing out?

So why not just keep on telling
us we can't wear this or that to
those places, and slap our hands
when we do.

Let's not be too petty!

The apathetic student

Letters To The Editor (Continued)

Atlanta Coca-Cola Bottling Co.

Dear Editor:

Many students have been alarmed
and appalled at the phenomenon of
apathy on this campus.

This week in the Agnes Scott
News, in "Hub-Bub," a rather novel
idea was presented as "Apathy is
the only escape," presumably from
an archaic set of rules which have
not mellowed, but moulded with
time.

I'm sure we all agree that there
are several things which are out-
moded, confining, and in need of
revision. It seems to me that any-
one who can welcome, and even
exalt apathy, has never really felt
a deep concern for making the
changes we need.

So, what has such a person es-
caped from?

I inferred that the columnist
thought that those who love Agnes
Scott do so because they love the
rules and therefore do not feel the
need for an "upheaval" in the sys-
tem. This seems fallacious, for it is
evident that the necessary reforms
will be realized only by the girls
who do care, and do possess some
feeling of love for the school.

I am sorry to learn that there are
some who really hate Agnes Scott

and are "counting the days." Ap-
athy can be no solace to them; it
cannot soothe unhappiness, assuage
bitterness, and stifle injustice. What
it can easily stifle is self-expression,
delight in life, desire to learn, and
most grievously, the ability to feel.

I hope that the girls who love
Agnes Scott will never stop caring,
will never stop trying, and will
never give up "tilting at windmills."

Game Attendance On
True Honor System

BY
MARTHA
MONTMEAT

In keeping with what seems to
be the way of going about things
at Agnes Scott, we have, of course,
considered "turning in lists of the
names of those who . . are not
participating in athletics: either
actively or as spectators.

Certainly there are no rules about
this nor is participation compul-
sory.

How ridiculous!
After all, we say, this can only be
a strictly individual affair.

Yet then again we say this about
many things and, thus, somehow
"lists" just don't seem quite in
keeping with what we imagine to
be the scheme of things, do they?
There is little to fear though;
unlike other organizations, A.A.
can take little or no direct action.
Furthermore we wouldn't want
to.

We would indeed be interested in
those who would take it upon them-
selves, as their responsibility, to
turn in lists of others' names.

Particularly would we delighted
if someone should turn in a list of
the names of those not at games.
First subject to question would
be this helpful individual herself.
If we were to rely on the author-
ity of a firsthand report, we would
certainly be at least curious as to
exactly what our friend the in-
former herself was doing during
these time periods.

If she attended the games, ob-
viously she was missing the point
of the whole thing, being too con-
cerned w r ith who wasn't there.
If she herself wasn't at the
games, how dare she turn in a
list of others' names?
Secondly we would have to re-
mind our friend that she has mis-
understood the way the honor sys-
tem here at Scott works or has
she?

While certain actions, we would
continue, may be considered noble
and honorable elsewhere, these
same actions here at Agnes Scott
possibly would be considered "rat-
ting."

Nor would anv of the Board

members be interested in check-
ing on the whereabouts of others;
WE are too busy having fun at
the games.

While we do all we can to urge
attendance, we would never con-
sider punishment as an alternative.

After all, those who aren't at-
tending are missing the fun and
excitement and this, to us, is enough
suffering for one human being.
So we on A.A. would leave it
up to each individual to choose
for himself (or in this case, her-
self).

And in conclusion we must add
that Athletic Association is a truly
great organization: not only do we
try to bring out what is best in the
ol' human spirit, but our way of
doing it is really the most fun.

Try it our way: you'll probably
love it!

To prevent what seems to be
now inevitable, i.e., a mass on
rush to participate and all, let
me just add that it is almost
non-activity week.

This means that we have only
one last chance to participate be-
fore next quarter.

This chance or dance called "Fan-
tasia' will be held this Saturday
night.

Remember (1) it will be held at
the Americana Hotel, (2) it fea-
tures the Zodiacs, and (3) all who
go will have 3 a.m. permission.

Tickets are now being sold in the
dining hall at lunch and dinner
buy one and go!

Don't let it be said that you didn't
participate this quarter you know
how people will talk . . .

Student Body
President

Sarah Timmons

The student body president is the
presiding officer and representative
of the students to other students,
faculty, administration and others
outside the school.

Therefore, her main concern is to
be open and receptive to the stu-
dents.

She is the main "unifying force"
on the campus and she can be re-
sponsible for changing and form-
ing the tone, attitudes and em-
phases of the students and the work
of student government.

I feel that she should always be
available to every individual on
the campus and go out of her way
to show everyone her availability
and willingness to listen to any
suggestions or problems. There-
fore, the president must be willing
to give up much of her own time
and individual concerns for the in-
terest of the students.

As a unifying force, she must
channel the concern of each individ-
ual and find common goals for the
whole student body.

Representative Council is one of
the ways to achieve unity on the
campus. I definitely feel that it is
a much neglected and underrated
body and with encouragement and
interest it can become a positive
action-taking board instead of "just
another coordinating meeting to go
to."

The president and other members
of the student body must be aware
of Representative Councirs poten-
tial and take advantage of it.

The members of Rep Council
must have a concern for its legis-
lative powers and students must be
willing to offer constructive sug-
gestions for things they would like
to have done.

It will take initiative on the part
of all students and a realization of
the importance of the job by the
members of Rep. Council.

As far as specific suggestions
are concerned, I would like to see
a coordination and strengthening
of Curriculum Committee. It can
have an important voice in the
college curriculum if the students
have the desire and interest to
work for what they want.

I would also like to see continued
work on reorganization and decen-
tralization.

Signing out and in the dorms has
been a great step forward, and in
my opinion, strengthening of the
duties of House Councils to include
some Judicial cases will strengthen
the work of Judicial Council and
make all of us more aware of our
responsibilities.

Another concern of mine is that
the relationship of -the student body
with the administration is neces-
sary for an effective student gov-
ernment.

I want to continue working to
improve our regulations, but I see
the position and feelings of the

Nancy Yontz

I would like to make Rep Coun-
cil an active and coordinating body
which is distinctly legislative.

I would like to see it become
more involved in all areas of cam-
pus life, including, perhaps, the
academic area through the student
curriculum committee.

I would encourage the members
of Rep Council to be more informed
about the groups which they serve,
so that they may be truly represent-
ative and that Rep Council might
be a melting pot of ideas from
every area of the campus.

Rep Council is now in a position
to work strongly for reorganiza-
tion of Student Government, and I
feel that I could be an effective
leader in the reorganization effort.

I would like to see the student
body fully informed of reorganiza-
tion plans, and I see that this can
only be done through a body such
as Rep Council.

I believe that the members of
Rep Council can cultivate better
communications among students,
faculty and administration by
sharing more with other students
their comprehensive view of the
campus situation.

I feel that I can be an effective
link between student body and ad-
ministration, making it possible for
both to work together toward a
common goal.

Because of my belief in the basic
principles of our college, I would
like to have the opportunity to
foster the constructive develop-
ment of the future of Agnes Scott
and to encourage vital concern
among students.

administration. I believe that it is
much easier and more effective to
work with the administration and
students rather than constantly
fighting them.

I respect the feelings of the ad-
ministration, but want to work
along with them to find the most
suitable situation.

I realize that president of the
student body requires a great
amount of time and work and giv-
ing up much time for others, but
I am willing to accept it and work
to make the seventy-sixth year the
best ever!

Special
Election
Issue

Social
Council
President

Charlotte Webb

The responsibility of the presi-
dent of Social Council is to act as
a leader and a guide in co-ordinat-
ing the social events on the Agnes
Scott Campus.

She should be constantly aware
of feelings in the student body
and should be willing to criticize
any suggestions with a sense of
purpose and an open mind.

She should be continually search-
ing for ways to improve the social
conditions which exist on campus.

If elected, I would try to meet
these responsibilities.

Through the board and through
the students, I hope to get many
suggestions for improvements and
do whatever is necessary to facili-
tate changes where the board feels
those needs exist.

Through comparisons with other
schools and colleges, I would like
to discover and in turn present to
this campus ideas which will bene-
fit the students in all phases of
social life: recreation, social devel-
opment, and social "know-how."

I feel that there is much room
for improvement in the present
set-up of Social Council and sin-
cerely hope to be able to be of
help in beginning and carrying out
these improvements.

Libby Malone

I feel that the responsibilities of
the President of the Social Council
are to guide the board in such a
way that the members share re-
sponsibilities and work together
effectively, to organize and preside
over meetings, to guide and assist
individual members in carrying out
the work of the Board, and to act
as a liaison between Social Council
and Student Government and the
Administration.

The desires of the student body
can be carried out only if the board
is under the leadership of a presi-
dent who is willing to listen to
new ideas and to work to carry
them out and to improve existing
conditions.

The creativity and interest of the
president are very important in
guiding the board to work with
enthusiasm.

I would try to show this enthu-
siasm and devote the time and in-
terest which is necessary to make
the work of the board a direct
reflection of the desires of the Stu-
dent Body, as well as a source of
enjoyment for the board members.

Judicial Chairman

Dee Hall

To some students, the traditional
words seem trite and the system
which was effective ten years ago
seems impractical for an expanding
student body.

Judicial Council has reached a
crucial point in its development, in
that it must meet the demands of
change and yet preserve the integ-
rity both of itself and of the col-
lege.

In order to do this the council
must go beyond individual cases to
deal with attitude and understand-
ing.

We must always retain our ideals
and yet there comes a time when
it is best to talk in terms of con-
crete application.

Too often we talk about honor
on such a high plane, that we fail
to see its relation to everyday pro-
cedure.

Perhaps this is because we forget
that honor is grounded in more
easily understood concepts such as
consideration, responsibility, and
personal honesty.

It seems that many of our campus
problems could be realistically dealt
with in terms of these ideas.

Judicial Council should remain

open to the needs of the campus

and seek to relate itself and its
policies to these needs.

By periodical self-examination,
the board should formulate and ad-
here to a definite judicial policy
which should be made known to
the student body.

In approaching a case, Judicial
Council considers both the individ-
ual girl and the college whose
policy she has broken.

To achieve campus justice, the
council must maintain a balance
between the personal and the legal
aspects of a case.

The Council must guard against
over-sympathizing with a girl who
has broken a rule and must pre-
serve the validity of obeying a rule
because it is a rule.

However, we must not lose the
personal approach in which every
case is viewed as an individual
one.

Reorganization offers an oppor-
tunity for broadening the scope of
Judicial Council.

Working closely with House Pres-
idents' Council, I would begin im-
mediately to plan for a transitional
period in which some judicial re-
sponsibility would be delegated to
the separate house councils.

However, I feel that it is im-
portant that the potential of the
Council under the present organi-
zation not be overlooked and that
this potential be developed to its
fullest.

Thus I feel that a re-evaluation
and strengthening of our present
position will best prepare us for
future change.

Jean Hoefer

A relationship of trust is a stim-
ulus to self discipline which is the
major goal of both an educational
and a judicial system.

This idea is the basis of our stu-
dent governing, whether it be in
classes, in independent research, or
in our work on each of the "boards."

Approaching this idea from the
standpoint of a Student Govern-
ment Association, I feel that Judic-
ial Council and the Judicial Chair-
man can be extremely positive
means of effecting a real dialogue
among students as to what trust,
or honor if you like, can mean.

I feel that working with this prin-
ciple now in the context of com-
munity living must be seen as valid
and realistic preparation.

As the other columnists in this
issue point out, our student govern-
ment is in a unique position right
now.

With increased decentralzation
will come a "spreading out" of re-
sponsibility which will make stu-
dent government much more a stu-
dent concern.

This broadening of student in-
volvement should work both ways.

That is, Judicial Council can only
benefit from increased constructive
concern for what campus justice
really means.

To me, Judicial Council is not
merely a once a week gathering of
twenty-four black robed girls who
"hand out" penalties.

Each of those girls serves on at
least one Rep Council committee.

The Judicial Chairman works
even more closely with Rep Coun-
cil as well as administrative com-
mittees.

A student government with this
extensive responsibility is, accord-
ing to NSA's research concerning
campus legislatures and judicial
organizations, rare.

Each of this week's columns is
evidence that we can accept this
responsibility.

Elections

This edition of the Agnes Scott News was originally de-
signed as exclusively an election issue.

Candidates for various offices were requested to send a
statement to the newspaper concerning what they felt the
office for which they received a nomination involved and
how they felt that they could best fulfill the office.

About 20 students nominated for Student Body Chairman,
Judicial Chairman, President of Social Council, Athletic Asso-
ciation, Christian Association and the Editor of the soon-to-
become Profile were asked to send these statements to the
editor.

The group of statements within this issue is the result.

We hope that from now on there will be no griping
about the uninformed methods of elections. Nominating
committee and interested students had long advocated
this type of newspaper issue.

Yet, when even the same people are given an opportunity
to alleviate or just start to alleviate lamentable snide cam-
paigning during elections for officers of the student body,
they do not take advantage of the opportunity.

We of the newspaper staff have attempted to allow all those
nominated for the top offices to speak out concerning their
opinions.

Those who responded show their interest simply by
their actions.

Now it is the responsibility of the student body to pay
attention to the subtleties present in the statement of all the
candidates. Having read the statements, students should then
take advantage of the Hub discussion and dinner discussions
scheduled for tonight.

Issues such as the proposed changes in the constitution,
ideas concerning Joint House Council's work, Representative
Council's place in the government of the school, type of
columns used in the Profile, student-based versus interna-
tional issue-based newspaper, ad infinitum should be ones
discussed at these times.

This newspaper and its editor refuse to suggest either
publicly or privately a successor. All candidates are qual-
ified to edit this newspaper.

However, each one will form and publish an entirely differ-
ent newspaper.

Thus, students should decide what type of newspaper they
desire the Profile to be. In addition, the upcoming editor will
have to deal with the prospect of changing the entire format
of the newspaper.

Nominees have definite ideas concerning the possibilities.

Such questions as "Are you going to change the drink-
policy" are childish and futile since no one person can
change rules on this campus, as we so well have dis-
covered.

We plead, therefore, for an increasing awareness of the
various issues and the various persons nominated to deal with
these various issues.

We plead for a better informed public.

Letter to

To the editor:

A chapel program was post-
poned recently because of inade-
quate attendance.

This all-too-obvious lack of inter-
est in voluntary chapel programs
is illustrative of our common dull-
ness. It would appear that to pub-
licly announce, by our absence,
such a disinterest in others' ideas
and opinions would be too embar-
rassing for a college campus.

Agnes Scott may be seventh in
endowment and in the top ten with
scholastic opportunities of the
women's colleges in this country,
but this is an empty "honor" with-
out a backbone of thinking, grow-
ing students.

"We have been complaining
about the social rules for four
years now. For what?"

One year, the students were giv-
en the right to elect coming to

the Editor

chapel. We speak out so strongly
for the revision of the school's
drinking policy; yet, it does not
seem as if we are capable of man-
aging voluntary chapel attendance.

How long will it be before we
stop our playing at The Mature
American Student and settle down
to a sincere attempt at coping with
growth ?

It has never been sound practice
to build from the top down.

Can we be sincerely and effec-
tively involved in world attitudes
and affairs when we cannot or do
not participate in our smaller aca-
demic sphere, our task at hand?

As long as we esteem ourselves
as above this "petty" exchange of
ideas in chapel programs and else-
where, we lack the self-honesty
essential in our "so-important-to-
us" maturity.

Betty Butler

Very few people have exactly the
same ideas on how a newspaper
should function and operate.
Though in all cases there must be
coordination and cooperation among
the staff, the ultimate decisions
have to be made from the editor's
viewpoint.

Though almost all newspapers
are responsible enough to give a
clear presentation of the news, they
receive their distinction from the
editorial pages. Always within the
circle of accuracy, it is here, and
only here that a newspaper should
pursuade or be allowed "to arrange"
the facts.

The editor has a personal obliga-
tion to know and to justify what-
ever appears in his paper. To be
so responsible, an editor must care
enough about the newspaper "busi-
ness" itself and his particular news-
paper's function and problems.

A small college newspaper such
as the Agnes Scott Profile faces
several unique problems. There is
a shortage of real newsworthy
events and, in general, a lack of
overt interest by the student body
in anything other than academics.

Without a full-time staff which
can participate in extra-curricular
activities as on larger campuses,
many college newspapers seem
dead. Although the Agnes Scott
News, judging from my conversa-
tions with several small campus
editors last fall, is comparatively
very alive, there are still things we
could try to do to make our news-
paper first-rate.

Primarily, we need a steady and
efficient and dedicated staff who
identify with the newspaper. If
they worked together the actual
size of this staff would be relatively
unimportant.

Yet the Profile cannot rely solely
on its staff in order to be a good
newspaper.

Their "nose for news" is basic,
yet their job and each issue of the
paper would be more interesting if
the campus would also identify
enough to provide news hints, guest
articles, and letters-to-the-editor.

In particular, a possible improve-
ment could result from more fea-
ture stories and more "back-up"
news stories (e.g. the "Lecture Of-
fends Students" article by Diane
Puglianano in the March 4 issue).

It is very easy to carry both
techniques to extremes, making
the newspaper little more than a
magazine.

It is very difficult to have them
at all without a working staff. With
effort and in the right proportion,
though, (i.e. subservient to the
strictly news story) this would
make a better Profile.

Much comment has been heard
on campus this year about apathy.
This has invariably, for some
reason, been connected with criti-
cism of ASC policies in general.
Many feel that the News has been
one-sided in its presentations of
these criticisms, i.e. it has favored
them.

This has not necessarily been the
case. I would like to make one
more plea in the name of unbiased
journalism: no matter what your
opinion, speak out and you will be
acknowledged.

The primary purpose of a small
newspaper such as the Profile
should be to reflect the ideas of the
9tudents as well as to bring new
ideas into the life of the college.

The paper has been criticized in
the past for presenting a pessimis-
tic campus attitude.

Criticism has also been heard
concerning the narrow amount of
material covered. I believe that
both of these problems as well
as many others can be solved
through the effort of an adequate
staff interested in its work.

Whoever the next editor is no

Kitty Coggin

I feel that Athletic Association
plays a very important part in
developing the ideal "all-around"
Scottie.

In addition to the high scholas-
tic standards at Agnes Scott, the
Christian commitment, and the
social concern, physical fitness is a
necessity in order to complete this
goal of well-roundedness.

As far as the aims of Athletic
Association are concerned, I believe
that the most important aim is that
of promoting interest among
students.

This can only be done if the
board members are actively inter-
ested in the athletic and recrea-
tional activities of the school.

They, in turn, have a responsi-
bility to the rest of the campus
to encourage student participation
in the activities.

I would personally like to see
every girl on this campus take a
real interest in just one recrea-
tional activity a quarter.

I believe that this can be done,
and I know that the individual
student as well as the student body
as a whole would benefit from it.

By promoting interest and ac-
tive participation, more school
spirit would be created.

I feel very strongly that Agnes
Scott needs a stronger and more
enthusiastic school spirit, and one
way of creating more spirit is to
have not just a few, but everyone
interested and competing with and
against one another.

In the coming year I would like
to see the AA Board take advan-
tage of the opportunities of being
in the Atlanta area.

Atlanta has fine talent in many
of our sports at Scott, and I know
exhibition matches and clinics
would be an added attraction, very
much welcomed.

I'd like to see Scott compete not
only in the Atlanta area, but with
other schools and colleges in the
South.

Intercollegiate activities in ath-
letics are rewarding in many ways.

Besides having the opportunity
of meeting college students from
other parts of the state and coun-
try, each person whether watching
or playing learns and shares a
great deal.

what promises she may
make she cannot deal with these
problems without the help of a
much larger staff.

I would like to try to broaden
the coverage of the newspaper by
including more varied columns and
more interesting feature articles
not always about Agnes Scott.

I think that it is possible to make
the Profile a less Scott-centered
paper. Perhaps this would also
make the tone of the paper a less
pessimistic one.

I am most interested in doing
everything possible to make our
paper a more representative and
balanced publication.

Betsy Hamner

Agnes Scott wants to develop
well-rounded students. Athletic As-
sociation has the responsibility of
adding to our mental health by
promoting our spirit on campus
and by encouraging participation
in physical exercise.

It is the responsibility of the
president of AA to see that these
two aims of AA are achieved.

The president can carry out this
responsibility by leading her board
wisely and by being a good example
in the carrying out of the aims of
AA and the ideas of the board.

If I'm elected president, I plan
to encourage new ideas from the
board members; I will serve as co-
ordinator of these ideas of the
board, and not just my own ideas.

I would like to stimulate an in-
terest in the board in increasing
AA's responsibility on campus.

In order to improve and main-
tain campus spirit I will certainly
try to stimulate the enthusiasm of
the board members with that which
I know I have for AA and its job.

I will stress the importance of
personal contact between the board
members and the rest of the stu-
dents for the relating of the ideas
of the board to the campus.

Several ways in which AA can
improve campus spirit, I believe,
is by having more Hub sings; by
getting the student body as a whole
more interested in the government
of Agnes Scott and this could be
done by encouraging the students
to attend the meetings of the
boards, all of which are open to
the students; and by making the
students realize the importance of
physical exercise for a healthy and
alert mind.

I think if the students realized
this fact, they would see that AA
is not promoting sports just for
the highly skilled, but for every-
body on campus.

In closing I'd like to say that
I'd like to be a part of A A Board
for the coming year, not only be-
cause it is an organization of girls
who share a deep enthusiasm for
athletics and recreational activities
individually as students and mutu-
ally as a Board, but particularly
because these students are pri-
marily interested in sharing this
"spirit" with all the rest of the
students on campus.

Athletic Association

THE AGNES SCOTT NEWS Thursday, April 2, 1964 3

Christian Association President

Elaine Orr

The President of Christian Asso-
ciation necessarily has unlimited
responsibilities.

As stated in the Christian Asso-
ciation constitution, she must call
and preside over all cabinet meet-
ings, work individually with all
cabinet members, serve as a mem-
ber of the Representative Council
of Student Government, and be
aware of and seek ways to fulfill
the spiritual needs of the students,
individually and collectively.

It is this last area which is most
comprehensive and which is the
most significant.

The President of CA must, there-
fore, have perception of the variety
of religious needs of Agnes Scott
students, a knowledge of possible
and available programs, fresh
ideas and enthusiasm to meet these
needs, strong personal convictions,
understanding and tolerance, and
the ability to communicate with
all members of the campus com-
munity.

In addition she should be well
acquainted with the structure of
the association and its affiliation
with the YWCA.

These demands are many, but I
feel I can meet them and lead CA
in a new and worthwhile direction.

Having actively participated in
all areas of the program as it now
stands and having gained experi-
ence both as a Cabinet member
and as chairman of Religious Em-
phasis Week I believe I have gained
insight into areas which could and
should be influenced by CA.

I have only recently realized how
few students know what the pres-
ent CA program includes.

We try in some way to reach
every student through service proj-
ects, denominational meetings, ves-
pers, hall prayers, Tuesday chapel
programs, the freshman book dis-
cussion in the fall, Religious Em-
phasis Week, study groups, world
awareness bulletin boards or Inter-
collegiate Council.

I do believe that each of these is
vital in its respective function.

However, I do not believe that
I am being idealistic in saying that
CA's purpose on campus cannot be
separated from our academic lives.

To be effective in the campus
community we cannot oppose the
activities or program of CA to
intellectual growth, but need to
so relate them that academic pur-
suit may open up the way to hon-
est inquiry in all aspects of our
lives, the religious necessarily in-
cluded. I do not mean to imply
that religious needs are secondary.
Rather, they are inseparable from
our vocations as students. It is
here that we at Agnes Scott seem
to be overwhelmingly lacking in
understanding.

It is particularly in this area
that I would like to lead CA.

Furthermore, I would hope to re-
evaluate and reorganize the pres-
ent Cabinet positions in order to
eliminate the existing overlap of
responsibilities and to provide for
those areas which have not been
developed or expanded.

I feel this would give greater
continuity to the CA program and
would result in a more effective
one. I would also attempt to initi-
ate a broader world awareness pro-

Lynne Burton

The responsibilities of the presi-
dent of Christian Association are
closely connected to the purpose of
the total organization.

Therefore, they include a realis-
tic approach to the fact that each
student can be offered help in un-
derstanding the meaning and im-
plications of the Christian faith in
her life.

The CA president must see that
opportunities are available for
questioning and discussing reli-
gious beliefs as well as for
strengthening previous commit-
ments.

As a leader the president should
encourage cabinet members to ex-
plore current campus interests.

They then relate to the discov-
ered needs both as individuals
committed to the nature of Jesus
Christ and as members of a group
which organizes specific activities.

As a co-ordinator the president
helps establish and then act upon
the long-term goals of CA. She
works also for the effective inter-
action of campus organizations so
that all needs may be met more
efficiently and adequately.

Carrying out these responsibili-
ties requires, I feel, an emphasis
by CA on student confrontation of
basic religious questions and cur-
rent issues and on an active ex-
pression of concern for them.

By broadening the scope of the
Christian Association Representa-
tive Council there can be a strong-
er link between the CA cabinet and
the campus with more opportuni-
ties for group discussion of reli-
gious questions and world issues.

Study groups are also vital for
this purpose.

Through an increased program
of world awareness CA can help
students to become more informed
and to then see the Christian impli-
cations of present situations.

The service projects offer oppor-
tunities for student action, includ-
ing activities in filling immediate
needs in the areas of human rela-
tions and poverty.

In order to fill the responsibili-
ties of CA president I would also
suggest an evaluation of this or-
ganization's relationship to the
YWCA and of the total Christian
Association program.

Students should be aware of the
meaning of CA's affiliate member-
ship with the YWCA and of the
opportunities it offers.

The Christian Association pro-
gram is, of necessity, a broad one,
because it attempts to fill many
needs for worship, study, and
action.

Perhaps, however, it should
choose one or two special areas for
emphasis in any one year.

gram as this area has been prac-
tically neglected heretofore.

We have limited ourselves far
more than we have been limited
by structure and this I would try
to correct.

I sincerely believe that by lead-
ing CA in the above direction our
Christian Association will better
meet the spiritual needs of every
Agnes Scott student.

Betty E. Armstrong

I feel that in the search for
meaning which is so much a part
of each of our lives here at Agnes
Scott, too often many of us reject
Christianity without having fully
explored it . . . never to consider
it seriously again.

In a Christian college, one often
is not forced to examine his reli-
gious beliefs ... in the warm, ideal
atmosphere, God, the church, mor-
als, somehow slip right over our
heads or we reject them, without
knowing exactly why.

There must be an absolute to
which we can relate, most of us
realize, yet we must be sure we are
not looking in the wrong direction
for one which does not exist.

Many of us have preconceived,
or newly formed conceptions of
Christianity which completely miss
the point; others of us feel that
we have grasped the meaning of
Christ's words: "that they may
have life, and have it more abun-
dantly," yet do not know how to
express our belief to others.

I am of the opinion that Chris-
tianity needs re-interpreting on the
Agnes Scott campus.

The joy, enthusiasm, sense of
purpose, depth, meaning to life
with Christ at the center can only
come after we have been confront-
ed with Christianity as a way of
life possibly only because Christ,
the perfect man did actually live,
did actually die for our sins, was
actually raised from the dead, and
because the God who did not fail
in this act, will not fail now.

CA can easily become a mere
humanitarian organization, with
organization itself claiming most
of the time and effort of Cabinet
members.

It is much simpler to plan the
details of a new service project,
than to be sensitive to everyday
needs of individuals here on our
campus.

The President of CA must be
aware of the needs of the many
different types of individuals here
at Scott and then guide Cabinet
in meeting these needs most effec-
tively.

CA must have a President who
does not merely direct action but
one who takes the initiative when
necessary.

She is responsible to a large
degree for the bond between Cabi-
net members and the effectiveness
with which Cabinet communicates
with the campus, a job which I
realize after having been a CAR
and a CA Cabinet Member.

I would like to be President of
CA and lead it in acting effectively.

Homans Talks
To Sociologists

Dr. George Homans, Professor of
Sociology at Harvard University,
spoke in McLean at 9:30 a.m. on
Wednesday. Dr. Homans is best
known for his work in small group
research.

His book concerning this field,
The Human Group, has been widely
/read and has provoked further
sociological research in this area.

He has also done much research
and writing in the field of social
theory. His talk here Wednesday
morning was entitled "What Is a
Theory?"

Crowing Pains

During this election week many decisions are being made
which will influence all the major policies of the college. It
is not the intention of this newspaper to swing votes in any
particular direction.

Rather, it is more advantageous to reiterate a plea to the
newly elected officers. Heeded, it will produce better relations
between the student body and its leaders; ignored, it will
become one of the many causes of apathy among the students.
The plea is one concerning communication. If every

effort is made to inform the student body, then apathy

cannot be blamed on the leaders. The excuse of ignorance

of issues will be invalid.

Various opportunities for communication are available on
campus. The newspaper, along with bulletin boards, chapel
announcements, and posters are the usual media.

These have been used effectively in the past, but with
increasing decentralization it will become more difficult to
reach "the masses."

This problem is an important one. We hope the new

officers will solve it. MLL

H

appiness is

With renewed expectation we en-
ter the final quarter, and, finding
ourselves in harmony with creation,
we too are swept into the cycle of
rebirth.

There are efforts to recover from
winter, to shake off its insomnia,
and to expand with ripening buds.

Dungeon-like smokers are re-
nounced, and, hoping that the mon-
soons will drift away, we venture
into the sunlight, armed with cop-
pertone and a dusty edition of Lyri-
cal Ballads.

The mind's energy is spent in
aimless, but therapeutic thoughts,
or in aspirations that reach beyond

the confines of next week's biology
test to span the years ahead.

Visions of summer joys rival eru-
dite volumes: Martha's Vineyard,
Yellowstone National Park, the
World's Fair.

Cotton clothes that fit too snugly
are laid aside to await an overdue
diet, and muscles are awakened on
bicycles or on tennis courts.

It is a season of change, a begin-
ning, and everywhere there is dis-
covery, of people, of ideas, and of
feeling, and not without reason is
graduation called "commencement,"
because it points to the time when
the Seniors will begin a new way of
life. L.H.

Letters to the Editor

Dear Editor:

In answer to last week's letter
equating absence from chapel with
immaturity, I would like to say
that the word VOLUNTARY is still
used when chapel is mentioned.

Students still have the choice of
going or simply relaxing for a half
hour. When I go to chapel it is
because the program is one which
interests me, not because an inner
voice whispers that I should go so
as to insure the maintenance of

this privilege.

This is as it should be. People
do not benefit from any exchange
of ideas if they are not first in-
terested in that exchange.

Admittedly, there are people here
who never attend chapel programs.
But it is neither the responsibility
o fthe college nor of Betty Butler
to insist that they BE INTER-
ESTED in anything except aca-
demics. The rest is their own con-
cern. Name Withheld

Dear Editor:

Having long been associated with
"inciting revolution" on campus, we
find ourselves in the opposite camp
concerning an attitude toward
school policies expressed in the AA
column of the ASC News March
4, 1964.

Heretofore we have always wel-
comed criticism of certain school
policies and have found the school
newspaper an excellent means for
voicing this criticism.

However, if the ASC News is to
serve as a vehicle for such opinions,
it must serve in a responsible man-
ner. We found this article inex-
cusable. Not only was the column
cleverly indirect and written for
a small group of students, but the
columnist was guided by erroneous
information.

If criticism is valid, there should
be no fear of voicing it openly. The
use of implication is not a mani-
festation of responsible journalism.

Those who have complaints about
the operating procedure of the Ju-
dicial Council and its members need
not resort to such subterfuge.
"Exec" has always been open to
discussion and criticism on this
campus! There is no reason to
expect that the expression of an
opinion of this nature would be
stifled at this time.

First of all there were no "lists"
nor was there any "ratting" as the
article implied.

The readers of the News should
be able to rely on the reporters' be-
ing an authority on what they are
reporting, and their "first hand"
reports should be authoritative.

Although this column was the
most flagrant abuse of journalistic
responsibility, similar instances of
sloppy journalism could be found
throughout. Examples are the im-
plication that the dress policy would
be put under the call down system
and "News of the Week" which
had questions dating back farther
than "this week" about two years
to be exact.

In closing, we hope that the News
will continue to be just that: News,
and not "Straight from Scotty-
wood" by Louella.

Past Election Spirit
Inspires Runoff Vet

BY
SUE
KEITH-
LUCAS

In this paradoxically ever-ex-
panding, ever-decreasing world of
international crisis and technologi-
cal change, Agnes Scott finds itself
once again confronted with the
monumental task of electing, from
its 650 lovely and capable young
ladies, the leaders of this illustrious
institution for the anniversary year
1964-65.

Distressingly, however, the pro-
cess itself involves disillusionment
and defeat for some, for although
many are called, few are chosen.

Whence can the poor unfor-
tunate, rejected maiden find con-
solation for her woeful ostra-
cism?

Perhaps she should follow the
illustrious example of defeated of-
fice-seekers in national elections
and write a memoir of her harrow-
ing experience. There is a wealth
of material . . .

AGNES SCOTT ELECTIONS
OR, HOW I LEARNED TO STOP
WORRYING AND LOVE BE-
ING NOBODY:

The ill - fated nominee trips
gaily one morning to her mailbox,
from which she withdraws a sealed
envelope wherein she discovers an
important missive from that august
body, Nominating Committee, upon
which is inscribed words to the ef-
fect that she has been nominated
for six offices, although she only
petitioned for five.

Now, dear reader, can you
imagine what passes through the
mind of this favored damsel as
she scans the message?

"What a popular person I am"
she meditates (privately).

"How vital I must be to the

smooth functioning of the wheels
of progress."

But, alas, her fond hopes are
to be rudely shaken as the fatal
election week approaches.

At the evening past when she
had envisioned herself dispensing
words of wisdom and wit to groups
of adoring voters, she finds her-
self alone, unnoticed by the crowds
who comment as they pass, "Oh,
look, it's steak night."

Soon the momentous day arrives,
and dressed in her finest (but cas-
ually!) she modestly enters the hal-
lowed halls of Gaines Chapel, smil-
ing to all she has met (and some she
hasn't) and proceeds calmly to the
middle of the middle section, from
which point she can be clearly seen
by all.

Far her first office, she is one of
18 candidates competing for the
honor.

After a few preliminary run-offs,
the choice is narrowed until at last
our heroine finds herself opposing
only her roommate, who coldly and
ruthlessly votes for herself. (Since
ballots are secret, dear reader, we
will not reveal the vote of our
heroine.)

Because of this selfish act on the
part of one she had always treated
with the utmost devotion and re-
spect (oh sorrow, oh dismay) our
heroine is defeated for her office
(which of course she knows she
didn't really want anyway, so
there).

To condense our tale, dear reader,
347 runoffs later, our luckless
maiden is still smiling gamely as
she returns on the last morning
for her last chance only to find that
there are only 30 voters present,
all of whom live on her opponent's
hall, while her friends have taken
advantage of the Saturday morning
to sleep.

After such a resounding de-
feat, dear reader, what else is
left for our heroine but to write
her memoirs or, if she prefers,
a column?

Holiday Exemplifies
"Nothing In Excess"

Now that Spring Quarter is fin-
ally, here, we can all breathe a sigh
of relief that no one got frostbite,
etc., the last quarter.

Also, and more important, we can
sit in the Hub, dorm, or class and
relieve all the beautiful times we
had during Spring Vacation.

Spring Vacation; The very
mention of the words brings a
tear to my eye. (I wanted to stay
here on campus, of course, but
couldn't because the school was
closed.)

Instead, I did the next best thing,
and conducted myself in exactly
the same manner as I would have,
had I still been under Agnes' juris-
diction.

Before I came here, I was weak.
I liked to drink beer and other
sinful beverages. However, now,
thanks to my school, I have given
up such harmful habits, and can
spend my vacations sipping tea and
reading my Sunday school lesson.

I am writing this because I have
heard that this is the way most
Scotties spend their time away
from here. No one is ever tempted
to drink or go to apartments, etc.,

while they're in Florida, according
to what people have said.

Anyway, someone told me that
Agnes Scott girls have the best
reputation for conducting them-
selves properly during vacations.

Much better than Randolph
Macon. I wonder exactly what my
informant meant by that?

Well, anyway, I think everyone
sees what I mean. Isn't it fortunate
that our social restrictions have
such a lasting effect on us that we
keep them all year long? I guess
our vacation experiences prove to
everyone what good kids we are.
Too bad we don't have films to
show the Administration!

anthropologist, seemed to become
almost a maternal figure as she lec-
tured and talked informally to the
students.

In her lectures the world traveller
presented a most unimposing as-
pect with her simple movements
while on the platform before a
crowd which packed Gaines or on
Maclean's tiny stage before a group
of about 30.

Extremely quick in mental agil-
ity, the writer of (numerous books
answered questions with diplomacy,
tact and great stage presence, es-
pecially when a man almost chal-
lenged her to give a personal testi-
mony regarding her religious be-
liefs.

Yet in her main lecture concern-
ing the next 25 years (which tended
to be rather repetitious) and in her
chapel lecture dealing with absence
of trust in present society she was
not so entertaining nor awe-inspir-
ing as she was in face-to-face con-
tact.

Upon arriving on campus, she
was asked to speak extemporan-
iously on minority group relations
to a class dealing with this sub-
ject.

With wit Dr. Mead told the class
of about 40 that the reason for
all the problems in dealing with
monority groups stems from mo-
bility of humans.

would know would be those who
lived in the next street, next county,
next state and next country.

These people would not be so
different from oneself, and there
would be no problem.

At lunch Dr. Mead talked with
about 30 majors in the department
of sociology and economics. During
the entire hour she was asked nu-
merous questions, all of which she
answered with personal warmth.

Never, during the entire period
did she indicate that she judged
any of the questions ignorant or
petty.

She explained that eating food
was one of the hardest parts of
primitive life to become used to.

She also described her method
of writing a book. She makes notes
as inconspiciously as possible dur-
ing a ceremony and types these
notes as soon as possible into a
rough draft for the book.

Oftentimes, she says, she has
two typewriters set up at the same
time so that she may make nota-
tions about the actions of the chil-
dren playing on the floor.

Children frequently were men-
tioned in her conversations. (She
has a daughter who is a professor
at Harvard.) During the dinner
meal with professors prior to her
final lecture here she said that she
can look at a baby now and tell
from which of the tribes which she
has studied the baby is.

During even the earliest infancy,
Dr. Mead says, the baby reacts to
the manner in which it is held in
one's arms and the attitude preva-
lent in the society toward the child.

Glimpses of life in the primitive
societies which she has examined
dotted her speech and mannerisms
and added much to her third visit
to this campus.

Horticultural Aid
Reaches Garden

By Helen Mann

If you have been wondering about,
those potted palms by Inman, or
have maimed yourself getting to
Watson's some dark night, it is all
in the interest of beautification.

Mr. Rogers and an alumnae com-
mittee have decided to develop and
extend the Alumnae House garden
to include the whole quadrangle
formed by Inman, Hopkins, the
dining hall, and the Alumnae House.

This renovating includes new
brick walkways, new trees and
shrubs, and more flowers. The gold-
fish pool will probably be kept, al-
though the little statue may not
remain.

The winning bid, submitted by
Edward Daugherty, an Atlanta
architect, called for completion of
the whole project in sixty days, but
bad weather has held up work. It
will, however, probably be com-
pleted within this month.

A Young Republicans Convention
will be held at Emory April 17-19.
Louise Watkins, Claire Allen, Bunny
Wright and Sarah Unel have been
chosen as Agnes Scott's delegates to
this convention. A Republican candi-
date for the 1964 Presidential race
will be chosen. Visitors are invited to
attend. For moer information concern-
ing this convetnion, see any young
Republican.

Blackfriars Give
A Spirited "Spirit

99

The Blackfriar's spring quarter
production, "Blithe Spirit," will be
presented to the public on April 17
and 18.

This improbable farce revolves
around Charles Condomine (Ken
Haskins) and his two wives.

Elvira, the first wife (Susan
King), who passed "over" seven
years before, returns from some-
place (she can't remember where)
to be with her former husband, who
has now married Ruth (Myra
Gottsche).

It all began when Madame Ar-
cadi (Nancy Yontz) arrived on her
bicycle to hold a seance.

Perhaps Daphne had a cold, or
maybe Madame A. had eaten red
meat, but at any rate, something
went wrong, and Elvira was re-

called to this world, visible only to
Charles.

From here on, the play becomes
increasingly hilarious as the two
wives battle it out; the final out-
come is a surprise to everyone.

Dr. and Mrs. Bradman are
played by Jack Gottsche and Bev
Allen, while Malie Bruton is the
Condomine's maid.

Mr. Singdahlsen is director, as-
sisted by Betty Earle Speer, over-
all chairman of production.

Daryle McGeachern and Susan
Keith-Lucas are stage manager
and assistant stage manager,
respectively.

The play was written by Noel
Coward, and takes place in
England.

Eleven members of the class of
1964 have been elected to Phi Beta
Kappa. Those honored for their
outstanding scholastic achievement
are:

Nancy Charline Barger, a math
major from Chattanooga, Tennes-
see. Nancy was President of the
Baptist Student Union and served
on the Christian Association Inter-
faith Council.

Ann Gloria Beard, a French ma-
jor from Mobile, Alabama. Ann
spent her junior year studying in
France.

Susan Naylor Blackmore, a his-
tory major from Winston- Salem,
North Carolina. Susan is a member
of Judicial Council and Vice-Presi-
dent of Mortar Board. She was
Secretary of Student Government
and is now Chairman of the Stu-
dent Curriculum Committee.

Janice Lynn Freeman, a history
major from Georgetown, South
Carolina. Janice was a member of
Joint House Council and the Stu-
dent Curriculum Committee.

Dr. Chang hopes that such an
intensive and stimulating program
will enable him to further expand
and improve his major non-West-
ern courses, World Religions and
Oriental Thought.

Hawaii will be the place of resi-

he is in Taiwan.

Poet Preston Publishes
First Volume Of Verse

Miss Janef Newman Preston of
the Agnes Scott English Depart-
ment is having her first book of
poems, entitled Upon Our Pulses,
published this month.

The title of the book is taken
from a letter of Keats in which he
says "Axioms in philosophy are
not axioms until they are proved
upon our pulses."

Published by the Golden Quill
Press in Francestown, New Hamp-
shire, the slender volume will be
available for $3 in the Agnes Scott
Bookstore in Rich's and in Miller's.

Over 50 poems, including "Bayou
LaFource" which won one of Miss
Preston's earliest awards, comprise
the collection.

Miss Preston said her poems,
"written out of sheer joy," begin
with a "state of emotional and im-
aginative intensity" which then
crystallizes around a subject.

She carries her idea in her
head, testing its sound. After she
actually writes the poem, she re-
vises and revises.

Some of her poems are written
in a modified traditional form
which she calls a "free wheeling
metrical pattern." Miss Preston
also uses the traditional forms.

Upon Our Pulses by Janef New-
man Preston will arrive at the
Bookstore before April 25.

Purple Passages

Now that someone else is in the seat of responsibility (and
mighty hot it gets sometimes), no one can be sued for libel
because of what we say here and the charter of the news-
paper cannot be revoked nor money rescinded, we, the have-
been editors, do hereby ceremoniously open our confidential
files and thoughts.

Be it hereby declared that all incidences here explained
are straight from the files ranging back to April 17 ,1963.
Who could EVER forget:

A picture of a senior which had to be pulled because she
didn't measure up.

Photographs which never fit the column until an anony-
mous donor did "his part" in order to shut the editor's mouth.
Two pictures on the front page of a now-famous bush

and an ample posterior.

A newspaper and editor who went to bed at 3 a.m. after
managing editor, date and roommate rebelled, mentally ex-
hausted.

Criticized criticism of the present managing editor's first
journalistic attempt.

Accusation by handsome member of staff of "irrespon-
sible journalism" concerning cartoon which didn't get
printed at very last minute.

President of Mortar Board welcoming present freshman
class as "Class of '66."

Wife who discovered husband pictured with famous Indian
and collapsed with laughter.

Dead dog which died at least twice on our pages!

Arp!

Five swaying grass skirts and the CAMPAIGN-never to
be mentioned again in our presence.

$12,500,000 that just wouldn't count!

Paper with 39 headlines all written by editor and managing
editor.

Printer-adviser firing which backfired.

Ad that editors censored as too revealing.
An ACP rating which is non-existent.
An Indispensable Roget's Thesaurus.

A trustee's world-wide business which almost didn't
advertise.

Six-page issue which was really five.

Four-page issue which was really three, and showed it.

An April Fool's issue that was an election issue of
sorts.

Victory! A six-month campaign to get quorum finally re-
warded.

A Pepsi-Coke clash.

A columnist that wasn't.

A midnight secret dash to Atlanta.

W. McP with beard contemplating Zen and not coveting it.

And now dear friends as the old masthead slowly slips
off the page, never to return, we take up our empty coke
bottles, Roget's Thesaurus, sophomoric head count, trusty
typewriter, illustrious titles and wander back into bliss-
ful oblivion.

Bye now! M.L.L. and N.B.

Letters To

The Editor

Dear Editor,

I realize that probably nothing
can be done to speed up the elec-
tion process, but it seems, at least
to me and the people around whom
I sat for seven days, that some-
thing should be done.

The fact that our elections run
for a week is understandable in
view of the number of offices to
be covered and the quantity of girls
running for more than one position.

However, the situation is not as
excusable when the Junior Judicial
and Rep. Council members are not
even voted on until Saturday and
Monday. These are fairly important
Junior offices, I think. The fact
that they were voted on by less
than a fourth of the Student Body
and at such a late date is deplor-
able.

The lack of participation, notably
by those who complain the most
about "the way things are run
around here," is rather ironic. But
I suppose nothing can be done about
that. The privilege of voting, after
all, also connotes the privilege of
not voting.

In any case, however, I hope
something can be done in the near
future (the next five years or so)
to facilitate and accelerate the
counting process. These past seven
days have been a little too long.
Marilyn Little

Dear Editor,

We predict that this issue of
The Agnes Scott News will be re-
ceived with the greatest enthus-
iasm shown our publication this
year. The reason is obvious. It will
be the last effort by the present
staff.

Students, faculty, alumnae, and
the few friends who still subscribe
have been first disheartened, then
disgusted by the "quality" of jour-
nalism exhibited in the News this
year.

The new staff may feel they in-
herit nothing more than a great
deal of resentment and the largest
budget deficit amassed by any or-
ganization in recent years. The
blame for this state of affairs can-
not be entirely written off as lack
of discretion by the journalists
themselves.

If we object to the way the paper
is written, if we really feel that
its negative tone has damaged our
campus, we must have the incen-
tive to do something positive about
it.

This includes writing articles and
letters, as well as making our views
known to the staff. Our campus
has no excuse for taking the
amount of diatribe, inept attempts
at humor, etc. that we have swal-
lowed unprotestingly this year.
(See Page 3 Col. 3)

Hub's Plaintiff-In-Chief
Gladly Rests Her Case

No, my friends, I am not going
to bore you with my usual pessi-
mistic tripe. It's going to be
cheerful tripe this time.

With the coming of Spring and
flowers and the beginnings of a
blade of grass here and there, even
I can find something to be happy
about.

I am so glad that my pessimism
of the past year has done nothing
to shake the bubbling optimism
and cheer which always prevades
our campus.

If I thought that any of my
fellow students had lost their
faith in their school because of
anything that I might have inno-
cently said, I would carry the
burden of guilt to my grave.

Fortunately, though, the weather
is a good stimulant, and I can now
join the ranks of those cheerful
people who are happy all the time.

I would like to take this last
opportunity to apologize for the
many wrongs I am sure I have
committed.

I have been charged with cen-
tering my column around less than
the majority of the student body.
The reason for this is that I don't
know all the students my job
being an appointed one and not

requiring that I get out and meet
the voters.

As for not writing what the
majority of students think, I can
only hope that I haven't. What's
the point of restating what ev-
eryone already believes?
I kept hoping that Scotties would
ask themselves, after reading what
I had written for the week, "Do I
agree with this? Why not? Should
I? Would my mother approve of
this?"

Then, I hoped, the newspaper
would be swamped with mail.
This never happened.

Oh, well, I guess it's all for the
best. This way I never knew what
people thought and I could say
whatever I liked, assuming that
everyone agreed! (Except for the
icy looks in the Dining Hall.)

Now, though, that time is over,
and I can no longer have the op-
portunity to let everyone know
how much I agree with my school
policies.

I shall have to get my own
soapbox and stand in the Quadran-
gle. (Once you get used to saying
what you think, it's hard to keep
from it.)

At least now I will have my
Sunday nights free so I can watch
TV instead of slaving over my
typewriter.

However, I enjoyed writing
Hub Bub, so there's one Agnes
Scott student that liked it any-
way!

Departing Columnist
Gives Up The Ghosts

BY
SUE
KFITH-
LUCAS

By Sue Keith-Lucas

Well, with this column, I give
up the ghost (and I think she'll
be relieved).

However, there are still some
ghosts around, whether of Christ-
mas Past or as fugitives from the
Blackf riars' play, I'm not sure, but
someone else will have to take on
the job of exorcising them.

When you walk around with
bell, book and candle (or Tempo
headline, legal pad and midnight
oil) for too long, either reaction
gets too violent or you're ignored.

Some of the charms I've tried
have worked, as much to my sur-
prise as to anyone else's.

Some, however, either weren't
said properly or were misunder-
stood.

The most interesting of all
were the innocent little nothings
dreamed up in desperation on
Sunday afternoon that somehow
called forth a whole host of
wrathful poltergeists. (Tech boys
have been called many things by
Scotties, but "poltergeists"?)

Through my medium (newsprint)
I have tried to communicate with
some in other worlds and have oc-
casionally made contact.

These weekly seances have some-
times been exhausting, but calling
on spirits (school or otherwise)
has its rewards.

But the witches' pot (to switch
metaphors slightly) still has plenty
of eyes of newts, toes of frogs,
wool of bats, and other such good-
ies for my successor to occupy her-
self with.

In order to give her a chance
to practice her own spells, this
particular spirit will fade quickly
and quietly into the past (on my
broomstick).

Patsy Gay, math major, who was

Nancy Auman, an English ma-
jor from West End, N. C, will be
chairman of House President's

man, Jo Patterson, a French ma-
jor from Charlotte, N.C., and a
member of the Silhouette staff, '64
and '63, will be responsible for
planning a program for the incom-
ing freshmen.

We should and do have the power
to have our opinions of the school,
not to mention the city, nation and
world made known in this paper.
Very little but a distortion of the
first has been seen in this year's
News.

Our opinions, our concerns have
not been represented. This year
there has been practically no at-
tempt at anything which resembles
responsible news coverage. What
appeared has been merely the com-
pletely unsupported opinions of a
few.

However, in all fairness to this
staff we must say that they have
worked under an intolerable lack
of concern from the student body.
We have taken it, by and large,
without a word.

The change of name from The
Agnes Scott News may be symbolic
of the fresh approach which the
new staff seemed to exhibit when
we talked to them. The least we
can do is give them our fullest sup-
port, and this means more than
just an occasional verbal past on the
back.

We predict a new day for jour-
nalism on this campus.
Hopefully,

For the top junior position the
student body elected Debbie Rosen

Smokers Double As
AA Recruiting Posts

BY
MARTHA
MONTMEAT

Last Saturday some outstanding
exhibition matches were held on
our campus. We hope that all were
able to attend. They were brought
to us by the Agnes Scott Tennis
Club. On April 18th this same fine
group is scheduled to play in a
match at the University of Georgia.

The Doubles Tournament begins
this week; also coming up soon,
April 20th actually, will be the Fac-
ulty-Student Tournament.

The new volleyball class man-
agers have been chosen. They are
Mike Bullard, Senior Class, Sloan
Fouche, Juniors, Ellen King,
Sophomores, and Mary Helen
Goodloe, Freshmen. The first
game was held last Friday.

The volleyball group would like
very much to rally the campus to-
ward participation in volleyball.
Thus, there is now a list posted in
the mailroom, on the A. A. bulletin
board, intended to encourage the
campus to sign up by study smok-
ers.

What with the fiercity of dorm
loyalty and all, it was felt this
effort should result in an intense
spirit of competition, etc.

Agnes Scott will participate in
a mail-in archery tournament;
the shooting dates are April 14-
May 11. Also the horseshow will
will probably be held on May
23rd.

Be sure to mark Sunday, April
19th on your calendar this is the
day of the A.A. party for the
campus.

Tennis Matches
Attract Interest

By Ann Sjogren

Although the weather was not
cooperating with Mr. Westervelt
and his kite, it was splendid for
the tennis exhibition sponsored by
the Agnes Scott Tennis Club on
Saturday, April 11.

Four people participated in the
event Sally Seebeck, Betty Jo
Braselton, John Skogstad and Bob
Nichols.

Sally Seebeck is ranked number
one in tthe South, seventeenth in the
nation, and made a playing appear-
ance at Forest Hills last year.

Betty Jo Braselton is twelfth in
the South and is the winner of the
Georgia State Women's Singles
Championship. She also holds the
Atlanta City Singles Championship
title.

John Skogstad was number one
on the famed University of Miami
tennis team and is ranked number
four in the South.

Bob Nichols was number one on
Georgia Tech's tennis team in 1959.
He was also selected for the Ail-
American tennis team in that same
year.

The first event of the day was
the women's singles pro set. Miss
Braselton, winning the last point
of the last game by a double fault,
took the set 8-5.

Next the men played a set of
singles. After spectacular serves
and blistering drives on the part of
both players, Mr. Nichols finally
won the set.

The last event of the exhibition
was a set of mixed doubles. The

teams were composed of Miss See-
beck and Mr. Skogstad playing
against Mr. Nichols and Miss Bra-
selton. Miss Seebeck and Mr. Skog-
stad won, making the day a winner
for all in one phase of the exhibi-
tion events or other.

Af ter the matches, all went home
satisfied to have had a beautiful
day and to have watched good ten-
nis. Mr. Westewelt, deciding to
try again another day, went home,
dragging his kite behind him.

Scoff Alumnae Plan
Weekend, Coffees

In connection with the annual
Agnes Scott Alumnae Weekend,
the Alumnae Association is pro-
viding a series of special lec-
tures by members of the Agnes
Scott faculty to be held Satur-
day, April 25.

There are to be eight lec-
tures, four to be given from
10:15 to 11:15 and four from
11:30 until 12:30.

The first series is to include
lectures from the English,
mathematics, classics, and his-
tory departments.

Representing the English De-
partment will be Dr. Hayes, who
will speak on Shakespeare's
tragedy, King Lear . Miss Ripy
will inform alumnae about the
"new math".

In connection with classics,
Miss Zenn will discuss Petro-
nius* fictional work, Satyricon .
For those interested in history,
Mr. Posey will lecture on Jef-
ferson Davis.

Members of the Bible, chem-
istry, sociology, and English
departments will lecture during
the second series. Miss Boney
of the Bible Department will
speak on ' Job's Search For
Meaning."

Mr. Clark will lecture to
alumnae interested in science
about recent scientific discov-
ery. Mr. Tumblin's lecture will
present problems of the modern
missionary. Miss Rion will dis-
cuss 'The Moral Dilemma Of

Huckleberry Finn."

This series of lectures is
designed to stimulate alumnae
in these several areas as well
as to re-acquaint them with the
classroom situations- of which
they were participants.

The Agnes Scott Alumnae As-
sociation, in cooperation with
Miss lone Murphy, announces
Wednesday, April 29, as the
date of the first of two "Ca-
reer Coffees" to be held in the
Alumnae House this spring.

All Agnes Scott students are
invited to come at 7:30 p.m.
and hear three alumnae speak
on the subject of "Data Pro-
cessing."

The three speakers will be
Marion Greene (1961), Rose-
mary Kittrell (1961), and Mary
Clayton Brian Dubard (1959).

In speaking to students, they
will seek to inform them about
the possibilities of job oppor-
tunities in the field of data pro-
cessing and to answer any ques-
tions which may arise.

Marion Greene, who will
serve as chairman at this dis-
cussion, was graduated from
Agnes Scott in 1961 and major-
ed in mathematics. She is em-
ployed in a division of IBM

Rosemary Kittrell, who maj-
ored in physics, also was grad-
uated from Agnes Scott in 1961.
She works for the Systems Ser-
vice section of IBM.

The third speaker, Mrs. Du-

Dear Editor,

In regard to the letter of April
16 signed by "Relieved Jun-
iors" which attacked the News
for its "irresponsible" journ-
alistic practices, its pessi-
mism, and its "deficits", we,
the undersigned, would like to
present the following FACTS:

The newspaper received few
letters from students who dis-
agreed with its policies and no
letters from alumnae or facul-
ty on any subject. If views of
this sort are not made known
to those responsible for news-
paper policies, there is no way
of knowing if the policies offend,
and therefore no valid reason
for altering them.

At the end of winter quarter
the News bank account showed
a surplus of about $215.00.
This surplus would have beer
substantially greater (about
$170.00) had it not been nec-
essary to change printers dur-
ing the quarter. A surplus was
also shown at the end of spring
quarter, 1963, and the end of fall
quarter. This clearly shows
that the News has been operat-
ing within its allotments from
the Student Treasury. Due to the
unforeseen expense of the print-
er, it was estimated that the
News would need a larger al-
lotment for spring quarter.
Therefore, a request for
$150.00 more was made and
granted. This does not mean
that the News has 4 'amassed"
any deficit at all. It simply
means that due to circumstan-
ces which could not possibly
have been foreseen one year
ago (when the allotment re-
quests for the entire year were
made), the expenses of the News
were greater than it was
thought they would be. There-
fore, it was necessary to ask
for a larger allotment than had
bee n requested for this quarter,
a not uncommon practice.

The newspaper has also been
accused of distorting campus
opinion concerning the school
and its policies. These "dis-
tortions" were made in edi-
torials and columns only. These
were written by individuals,
stated the opinions of indivi-
duals, and NEVER claimed to
be anything but opinions. These
articles were signed by indi-
viduals a cardinal rule in

"responsible journalism.'

Again, concerning the nega-
tive and pessimistic opinions
as one columnist stated in her
first column, these opinions
were designed in part to bring
about a response from the stu-
dents. Controversial issues
and opinions not only make in-
teresting reading, but by na-
ture force people to review their
own opinions and retaliate if
they so desire.

We admit that the newspaper
has had a lack of city, nation-
al, and international news. This
is due again to lack of concern.
The column relating to city
news was dropped because a
writer could not be found. Fac-
ulty members and students who
were approached about writing
reviews of national and inter-
national news were too busy
or uninterested.

It appears that the letter of
April 16 was calculated to come
at a time when it would do no
good in improving the attitude
of the paper, but to do the most
"good" in discrediting the news
staff. The old staff has lost the
opportunity to reply directly in
the columns which have most
offended, or to modify the tone
of the paper to be more in
keeping with the prevailing pub-
lic opinion.

Is this a more "responsible"

and positive attitude on the
part of these relieved juniors
than the attitude of the news-
paper which has been so offen-
sive?

SIGNED.

To the Editor:

As a former managing editor
of The Agnes Scott News (so
recent a former managing
editor that I have not yet for-
got what working with a campus
newspaper means), I feel it my
duty to respond to the letter
of April 16 which was written
by Relieved Juniors (?) con-
cerning the late staff of the
News.

While not in any way a mem-
ber of the inner circle of the
faculty of this College, I do
feel that I am in a more ad-
vantageous position than Re-
lieved Juniors (?) to comment
on faculty reaction to the 1963-
64 Agnes Scott News. Admitt-
ing that I have not heard every
word spoken by the faculty, I
submit that I have never heard
one comment by faculty about
the News that I would consider
"disheartened" or "disgust-
ed."

Nor have I ever heard any
alumnae reaction to the News.
However, since I work in the
alumnae office, see, talk on the
phone with, and correspondwith
different alumnae groups every
single day except Sunday, I am
sure that Relieved Juniors(?)
can speak more authoritatively
about alumnae reaction to the
News than I can.

I will not presume to com-
ment on student response to
articles and columns in the
newspaper other than to say
that I commend those few stu-
dents who used criticism con-
structively and aired their dif-
ferences with editors and colu-
mnists in letters to the editor
while the editor was in a posi-
tion to deal with that criticism.

I deplore the writing of the
letter signed Relieved Juniors
(?) as one of the most childish
acts ever perpetrated by a
member of the Agnes Scott stu-
dent body coming as it does at
a time when it can do absolute-
ly no good and when its cri-
criticism can in no way be call-
ed constructive.

While I was associated with
The Agnes Scott News, one of
my principal duties was trying
to see that there was always
enough money for another issue
of the paper. I am in no posi-
tion to know whether Relieved
Juniors (?) are correct in their
statement that the present staff
had inherited "the largest
budget deficit amassed by any
organization in recent years."

(I have been more concerned
lately with the tiny problem the
United States Government has
with its budget deficit).

But I do know that if a debt
was left by last year's News
staff it was left because the
News is prohibited from forcing
its advertisers to pay their
bills, and consequently money
spent printing ads in the pap-
er is often never returned.

I remember one firm which
"amassed" a $190.00 bill with
The Agnes Scott News; and al-
though a statement was sent to
that firm every month, the bill
was never paid and finally had
to ne put on the books as a loss.

U Relieved Juniors (?) have a
solution to this problem, I am
sure that the paper staff and the
College administration would
appreciate hearing from them.

1 look forward to reading
about the "concerns" and "op-
inions" of Relieved Juniors
but I am pessimistic enough to
believe that since no one
bothered to voice those con-
cerns and opinions in The Agnes
Scott News they will not bother
to contribute to The Profile.

In conclusion may I congratu-
late the late staff of The Agnes
Scott News who, while not per-
fect (only Relieved Juniors (?)
seem that virtuous), did the best
they could with students whose
only opinions were heard too
late to be considered as any-
thing but sour grapes.

HUB-BUB

With much fear and tremb-
ling, I take pen in hand to write
this, the first of my written
words to be published in The
Profile. The reason for this
paroxysm is the paralysing
question: how does one repre-
sent the true sentiment of the
Agnes Scott community?

This is a question that has
plaqued this year's columnist
and which has been weighing on
her successor's mind a great
deal in the last few days.

There is a side of the cam-
pus sentiment which has not
been represented in Hub-bub
this year, a side which many
of the complaintants have said
is the true feeling of the cam-
pus. If this be true, why hasn't
this "true spirit" of Agnes Scott
been expounded?

The purpose of Hub-bub is to
tap, drain and print the feelings
of that once- representative
group on campus, the Hub-
bites. Since this column was
first begun, new editions have
been made on campus which
have sapped this group's
strength - those heinous smoke-
filled, book-Iadened rooms
commonly referred to as study-
smokers.

Time was when people from
all areas of the campus con-
stantly filled the Hub during
study breaks or when wasting
time. Singing around the piano,
playing bridge or frolicking and
talking with friends were the
rule and not the exception to it.

Now the study- smokers are
usurping people from the Hub
and the "spirit" of the campus
has no common abode. How can
one person possibly seek it out?

Spring is here, the time for
fun and games. What better
place is there than the Hub, the
one-time center of campus life,
for exploiting study time7

My plea to the campus is
this: please inhabit the Hub
again. It's hard to get material
for an article by simply look-
ing at the building's four walls.

If Hub- bub has not represent-
ed your sentiments this year,
let's change this. Join the ranks
of the Hub-bites and help make
"Hub- bub" your column. See
you in the Hub?

Nancy Yontz Steals Show

by Diane Pulignano

Those of us who have can-
celled our subscriptions to
Blackfriars* plays after the
mystery plays and Brecht's
alienation delightedly returned
on Friday and Saturday nights.
Noel Coward's*' Blithe Spirit"
was just what we would have
chosen ourselves*

The choice of actresses was
as wonderful. Myra Gottsche,
who showed last spring what an
actress with stage presence
looks like, reconfirmed the
conviction in her portrayal of
Ruth.

She did little to help psycho-
logists convince the masses
that redheads aren't by nature
fiery and temperamental. Her
hysteria at seeing objects float
and fall of their own accord won
her a good deal of applause at
the fall of the curtain.

What better choice for a
beautiful, voluptuous ghost
could there be than a beautiful,
exciting girl? Susan King played
the part with professional
artistry. Her voice and her
graceful stage movement
charmed the audiences when-
ever she appeared.

Tlie actors, except Charles,
had strict orders to keep their
eyes off the ghost. We, for-
tunately, had no such orders.

The appearance of Nancy
Yontz was looked forward to for
days. No play at Agnes Scott
seems quite complete without
her since her success in "Ring
Around the Moon. "No one, na-
turally, was disappointed this
time.

Yontz has the peculiar talent
of endearing her audiences im-
mediately and of stealing every
show she appears in. She
manages to look seven feet tall,
one inch wide, ridiculously
dressed, and infinitely at-
tractive.

"Do I ever get to be slinky?
No" she says. She'll have to
show us the slinky side in the
classroom sometimes, because
on stage she is assigned some-
what less-than-sexy boots and
sunflower hats.

To Yontz go all the super-
latives. Her acting training in
Dallas only gave a polish to the
"natural exuberance" that is
Yontz and Yontz alone.

Malie Bruton, a student with
superior ability, showed one
side of what she can do in her
role as Edith. We're hoping that
the perfect part will come up
soon so that she can give full
expression to her talent.

Lori Wicker's lighting at the
seance was excellent. Mr. Sing-
dahlsen demonstrated his talent

f n tern a tion a

as director and designer, and

was mosr helpful to the actors
by using his acting talent to
show them what to do.

In the shortest rehearsal
time Blackfriars has had, the
group struggled with Coward's

quick humor and all the dif-
ficulties that a ghost presents.

Do you look for mistakes?
They were there. I prefer to
remember the delight - like
Nancy Yontz's eyes behind the
teacup.

United States Pushing Forward
In European Common Market

Charles P. Taft commented
recently that "it is clear" that
the United States is "pushing
forward" in trade agreements
with the European Common
Market, despite being faced with
two large problems.

Taft, who heads tne commit-
tee for a national trade policy,
took a businessman's approach
to discussing international
trade at his appearance at Ag-
nes Scott April 16.

The son of the 27th President
of the United States, he is a
leading tax and trial lawyer,
labor consultant, housing ex-
pert, and churchman.

He quickly captured the at-
tention of his audience with the
personable grin which Dr. Wal-
ter B. Posey, chairman of the
history department, said in his
introduction had once caused
an opposing lawyer to acuseTaft
of "smiling me out of court."

The first problem facing
United States traders is based
in European internal politics,
he said. This is particularly
true in the field of agriculture,
which brings Americans some
$1.3 billion a year.

DeGaulle wants France to
raise enough field grains to sup-
ply both her own needs and

those of Germany. U. S. farm-
ers, however, raise grain more
efficiently than the Europeans
and can ship grain to both coun-
tries for less than it would
cost French and German farm-
ers to raise it.

The governments of both
countries , however, can set
tariffs on American grain which
can raise its price to that of
the home-grown commodity.

The $60 million a year chic-
ken market, for instance, faced
a tariff of three or four cents
a pound several years ago. Re-
cently Germany wanted to set a
tariff of 17 or 18 cents a pound.

"The reason we screamed,"
explained Taff, "is that If they
do it with chickens, they will do
it with field grains.""

The second problem facing
American trade negotiators is
the one of "disparity argu-

These are caused by the fact
that while U.S. tariffs are down
an average of 80% since 1934,
they remain excessively high in
such fields as textiles, chemi-
cals, watch parts and photo-
graphic equipment.

Europeans want these tariffs
(some as high as 200%) cut be-
fore they agree to cut anymore
tariffs.

The independent college belongs to those who believe
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 indepen-

spirit

Here and there in the corri-
dor were clusters of people
talking quietly. Gradually they
began to trickle into the almost
empty auditorium. It dawned on
me as I watched the clusters
that the auditorium would still
be almost empty when the
trickle ended.

To someone's puzzled query I
could only inanely reply that
surely more students would
have come to hear Mr. Taft if
there had not been so many
quizzes assigned for the next
day.

This did not really seem like
a very valid excuse when I
thought that Agnes Scott was
having an opportunity to hear
one of the more renown and
competent public officials
speak on one subject we surely
could not be tired of discuss-
ing I

There had also been ample
publicity preceding the lecture.
In addition to Charles Tafr*s
being one of our 75th Convoca-
tion Series lectures, this
newspaper had run two recent
articles about him.

Even a lack of knowledge on
the intricacies of economics or
politics or the Euoopean
Common Market should not
have kept so many students
from attending the lecture.

The latter excuse was, I ad-
mit, the reason for my hesi-
tancy to go and hear Mr. Taft.
Yet, not even to give one's self
a chance to understand is in-
excusable.

Such a chance is what I feel
that I, and too many others
on this small women's college
campus in Decatur, Georgia,
have denied ourselves.

My freshman year at Scott I
was astonished at how little the
people I was meeting knew or
cared about subjects beyond
their immediate concern and
influence.

m the area of international
relations there has been little
noticeable change. I can no
longer be astonished or criti-
cal, for I have awakened to re-

alize that I am now in the same
boat.

I don't think this is a boat
that any of us willingly booked
passage on. Very few of us can
experience with the rest of
. the world.

Too many Ag-
nes Scott stu-
dents are going
to feel very awk-
ward and will act
even more so
during their
J u n i o r year
aboard or their
post junior or
senior year summer excursion
to Europe.

It is unrealistic (and un-
necessary) to expect interna-
tional orientation or inclination
on the scale which Euro-
pean students face it, but I do
feel that most of us could do
more to help ourselves to in-
formation and understanding
when we have the opportunity.

This column is intended to get
us all out of the afore-mention-
ed boat. The objective of the
columnists* presentation and
analyzation of internationally
current events is the campus
community's understanding.

Anyone student, faculty,
friend, enemy or what-not of the
college is invited and en-
couraged to express their
views. Perhaps life will not
seem so dull If we help our-
selves to know more about it I

Seven Operas Coming
To Atlanta This Year

by Felicia Guest

Atlanta's 1964 Opera Week,
May 11-16, features a 1 reper-
toire and cast that would be im-
pressive in any of the opera
houses of the world.

Such divas as Joan Suther-
land, Leontyne Price, Birgit
Nilsson, Renata Tebaldi, and
Anna Moffo highlight the female
vocalists in the cast. Jerome
Hines, Cesare Siepi, Franco
Corelli, and Richard Tucker
will sing the male leads.

The seven operas coming to
Atlanta this year are highly di-
versified. Setting s range from
the exotic Egyptian pageantry
of *'Aida" to the baroque em-
bellishments of Mozart's "Don
Giovanni.**

The operas range in tone from
the ageless drama of "Faust**
to the high, subtle comedy of
"Falstaff." "Manon" and "La
Boheme" depict Eighteenth
Century and realistic Nine-
teenth Century France, respec-
tively.

The Opening Night perfor-
mance will be Verdi's "Aida."
Verdi,, the genius of Italian
lyricism, or bel canto, filled
his "Aida** with pageantry, bal-
lets and dramatic situations.
The opera amply illustrates the
spectacular effects, big emo-
tional scenes and unforgettable
Italian melodies for which the
composer is so famous.

The story of "Aida" is one
of love, war and intrigue. Aida

is the daughter of the Ethio-
pian king. Taken slave by the
Egyptians, Aida is loved by Ra-
dames, captain of the Egyptian
guard, while Radames, in turn,
is loved by Amneris, daughter
of the Egyptian king.

Radames must leave the coun-
try to fight the invading Ethio-
pians; before he goes, Amneris
discovers that it is Aida, and
not herself, with whom Radames
is in love.

Victorious in the war, Ra-
dames returns to be given a
rousing hero's welcome. One
of his prisoners is the Ethio-
pian king (Aida's father), whose
true identity is not known to the
captors. The Ethiopian king
prevails upon Aida to get the
secret military plans from Ra-
dames. This act of treason is
uncovered by Amneris.

Radames is seized, tried,
and found guilty. His sentence
is burial alive. But Amneris
is ready to save him if Ra-
dames will give up Aida and
marry her.

When the Egyptian captain re-
fuses to do this, he is im-
prisoned within a tomb. There,
after it has been completely
sealed, he finds Aids awaiting
him, willing to share his fate.

Birgit Nilsson will sing Aida.
Radames will be sung by Fran-
co Correli; Rita Gorr will sing
Amneris.

Giacomo Puccini went to see

a performance of Verdi's
"Aida" in his boyhood, and
from then on he pursued musi-
cal studies, and eventually pro-
duced poignant works of art
which are unfailing in their
ability to delight and enchant
audiences with their beauty and
intense feelings.

His music is lyrical, and pos
sesses a bittersweet character
which is all his own.

Tuesday night of Opera Week
will be Puccini's "La Boheme."
This is an opera without big
scenes, immense climaxes or
eye-filling spectacles. The
story is built around four Bo-
hemians in Paris whose lives
are a contuinual struggle for
existence.

One is the poet Rodolfo, who
is in love with Mimi; another,
the painter Marcello, is invol-
ved with Musetta. Love, like
life, is not without complica-
tions.

Rodolfo 's intense jealousy
brings about a rupture of his
affair with Mimi. Mimi be-
comes ill, fatally so, and is
brought to Rodolfo 's attic,
where the lovers are finally re-
conciled. But it is too late. The
death scene the duet of Mimi
and Rodolfo, "Sono andati"
arrives as the tragic climax
of the opera.

"La Boheme" is Puccini's
most down-to-earth opera. The
central interest is in the every-
day problems, the little joys
and sorrows of the Parisian ar-
tists.

The naturalism of the story
combined with the restraint and
tenderness of Puccini's music-
- makes for a poignant human
drama.

It is undoubtedly for this
reason that "La Boheme" has
through the years remained
Puccini's best-loved work.

Renata Tebaldi will sing Mi-
mi. Barry Morell will sing
Rodolfo.

TEMPO

Having never written a col-
umn before, nor having been
thorougly indoctrinated with the
journalistic style, I hope to
make Tempo a very informal
column with a style of its own.
For a starter, Tempo will be
concerned with the prevalent
ideas on campus and the be-
hind-the-scenes events.

Several days ago at the in-
vitation of the Morehouse Col-
lege debate team, Betty Brown
and I went over to their campus
to debate the affirmative case.
We had been selected (in my
absence) to go by the ASC club.

After we were chosen it was
rumored (by the very members
who were so anxious for us to
attend) that Morehouse defeated
Howard at the West Point In-
vitationals last year. Betty and
I decided rather quickly,
though, that a "little" compet-
ition never hurt anyone!

As we arrived on the More-
house campus with Dr. George
P. Hayes, sponsor of our club,
we were ushered into an elabor-
ately furnished lounge in one of
the senior dormitories. Piped-
in music played in the back-
ground and artificial potted
trees decorated the foreground.

Soon, one of our opponents,
Harold Ingrom arrived to show
us the way to the chapel. Upon
meeting Sam Johnson, our sec-
ond opponent, Betty and 1 start-
ed to extend certain questions
to find out their past debating
experience.

When Sam replied, "We've
just returned from debates at
Harvard, Dartmouth, and Prin-
ceton," we became curiously
quiet.

Actually, the debate was non-
decisional and both teams did
quite well.

After the debates, while talk-

This is the long awaited quar-
ter I We have anticipated spring
quarter, and have looked to
these days of sunshine and act-
ivity. Why not take advantage
of some of the fun things that
are going on in the various
sports?

One group at Scott, the Sail-
ing Club, has taken to the water.

On Saturday, April 11, two of
our more illustrious sailors,
Leslie Hawkins and Ann Hunter,
went to Lake Lanier to partici-
pate in the Carling Regatta,
which was sponsored by the
Yacht Club there.

I hear that our team bested
the entries from the University
of Georgia and Vanderbilt on
Saturday, and arrived in top
form on Sunday to compete
again. But, alas, the land

mm

navigation slowed them (a car*
blowout) so they were too late
for the race.

Leslie Hawkins is the Vice
Commodore for this group,
which is associated with the
Georgia Tech Sailing Club. Any
nautical-minded students can
contact her for more details
about the upcoming Black Lace
Regatta between Scott and Tech,
and about the possibility of
joining next fall.

Dolphin Club also tried their
skill recently at a synchroniz-
ed swimming share session at
Woman's College of Georgia.
Taffy Mitchell, one of the eight
girls who went, placed first in
each stunt that she did.

In the golf line Kitty Coggin
and Joan Kiker will represent
Agnes Scott this weekend at the
Intercollegiate Golf Tourna-
ment at Mary Baldwin College,
Staunton, Virginia. Teams from
girls' colleges throughout the
southeast will participate.

This is a special announce-
ment for all who are engaged
in that well known sport of pass-
ing up the pie and reading the
scales:

Doctor Thomas Cureton, a
University Center visiting
scholar in Physical Education
from the University of Illinois,
will be on our campus Tues-
day, April 28th, for a physi-
cal fitness clinic.

s P . a u 9 Mark Van Doren To Lecture

by Sandy Prescott

Those who criticize the Unit-
ed States for its current strife
over civil rights sometimes talk
as if we are the only nation (or
the only democratic nation) in
the world which faces such a sit-
uation.

The fact that we are not does
not justify the existence of the
Problem, but a look into simi-
lar conflicts might help us to
understand and to deal with our-
selves more effectively.

For example, the fighting on
Cyprus which has made front-
page news since Christmas
stems from a minority group's
effort to maintain their consti-
tutional rights.

(It will not be my intention
here to delve into the history of
the island which had contributed
significantly to the Christmas
eruption, - for we hope we may
get the story first-hand in a
later issue - but, merely to
state, to the best of my know-
ledge, the situation as it exists
now and as it relates to the
American viewpoint).

Unlike the minorities in the
United States, there seems to
be little identification with the
Cypriot citizenship.

It is hopelessly idealistic to
assume any permanent assimi-
lation of the Greek Cypriots and
the Turk Cypriots. Neither have
ever considered themselves as
one people, but as two Greek
and Turk happening to live
in the same place.

Cyprus is geographically an
obvious "part" of Turkey, be-
ing less than Fifty miles
from the latter *s shores. Yet
80% of its population has been
Greek*

When Britain gave the island
its independence in 1961,
complete with a constitution
ratified by both the Greeks and
the Turks on the island, even
this unusual geography and pro-
bation combination did not
seem to present a bleak future.

The Turks, as a distinct mi-
nority group, were given voting
and officeholding rights more
than equal to such a status.

President Makarios decided
in December, on whim theTurks
say, to change the constitution.
The minorities feel it will de-
prive them of the rights they
deserve and, to some extent,
have had under the constitu-
tion.

As is obvious in the United
States, the deprivation of con-
stitutional rights is an extreme-
ly emotionally packed issue.

The fighting and the blood-
shed which has occured on Cyp-
rus cannot be condoned, but
neither can it be completely
condemned. Each side's attempt
to achieve their desires by vio-
lence sets off such a chain re-
action that it becomes impossi-
ble to decide who started it or
where to put the blame. (A small
private argument can be the
trigger to a mass riot and vir-
tual massacre).

Unfortunately, there seems to
be no foreseeable solution to
Cyprus's problem. The Turks
tend to personalize their argu-

Emory Chorale
Spring Concert

The Emory Woman's Chorale
will present its Spring Concert
Wednesday, April 29 in the Alu-
mni Memorial Building Audi-
torium on the Emory campus.

The program will include
works by Handel, Rachmani-
noff, Beethoven and will feature
selections from English com-
poser Benjamin Britten's "A
Ceremony of Carols," accord-
ing to Director Dr. William Le-
monds.

Carole Camp, Emily Harris,
Marion Kilgore and Becky
Loveless will be soloists. Flu-
tist Sally Burrows and guitar-
ist Pam Spache will perform
with the Chorale for several
numbers.

This will be the first concert
of this year's Spring tour by
the Chorale which will include
performances at Presbyterian
College in Clinton, S. C. and St.
Andrew's Presbyterian Col-
lege in Laurinburg, N. C.

Dr. Lemonds was chair-
man of the department of
music, orgainst andchoimaster
at the University of the South,
Sewanee, before coming to

men's Chorale and Men's Glee
Club last fall.

will be needed.

ment against Makarios him-
self, yet the violence among the
common mass of citizens testi-
fies that such is not valid.

The United Nations cannot
really be justified as an abso-
lute arbitrator, since the situa-
tion is obviously as private
a national problem as the
American civil rights move-
ment.

What will happen no one pre-
sumes to know. The island can-
not be depopulated, it is not a
question of Greek or Turkish
ownership; Britain is also now
an outsider. The people must be
left to decide for themselves
where their sentiments lie and
how much each side is willing
to sacrifice mer ely for the sake
of civil peace.

Mark Van Doren, famed au-
thor and critic, will be a guest
on the Agnes Scott campus on
Tuesday, May 5 and Wednes-
day, May 6. Mr. Van Doren
will lecture to and talk with
students during his visit here.

On Tuesday, May 5, Mr. Van
Doren will speak in McLean
auditorium to students in Eng-
lish 314, Mr. Hayes's Shakes-
peare course. At 2:00 p.m. he
will lunch with a group of Eng-
lish majors in the Dining Hall.

On Tuesday evening at 8:15
p.m. in Gaines Chapel, Mr. Van
Doren will read several of his
poems. Following the reading,
there will be a reception in Re-
bekah Scott reception room.

The following morning at 8:0t>
fie will lecture in room 207
Buttrick Hall to Miss Rion's
class in American literature.
He will speak at Convocation
at 10:30 a.m.

For as long as most Scotties
can remember, Spring Quarter
has meant Opera Week - that
cherished time when we can
drink from the fountain of Cul-
ture each night for an entire
blessed week.

Usually, we gain our appre-
ciation from the loftiest place;
the back row of the highest bal-
cony, cleverly hidden behind a
seven-foot posture enthusiast.

This year, however, the Ag-
nes Scott community has the op-
portunity to experience operatic
inspiration ahead of time. For
the uplifting of all spectators,
the Senior class will present
of Friday evening, May 1, what
has been known mundanely in the
past as Senior Opera.

Mortar Board
Elects Officers

The 1965 chapter of Mortar
Board met for the first time on
April 22. The President of Mor-
tar Board, Mary Lowndes
Smith, was tapped during elec-
tion week.

The following officers were
elected on Wednesday night:
Sarah Timmons, vice-presi-
dent; Betty Hunt Armstrong,
secretary; Nan Walker, trea-
surer; Becky Beusse, editor.

Mortar Board sponsors ro-
tate every three years. The
1965 chapter has elected W. G.
Cornelius of the political
science department to take the
place of Dr. Frierson, the re-
tiring sponsor.

Miss Eleanor Hutchens and
Mrs. Merle Walker will also be
sponsors of Mortar Board in
1964-1965.

Again Wednesday afternoon
he will eat lunch and talk in-
formally with English majors.
At 2:00 in room 211 But-
trick Hall, he will lecture to
English 102, Miss Leyburn's
advanced Freshman English
course.

Mr. Van Doren was born in
Hope, Illinois, on June 13, 1894,
and received his A. B. degree
from the University of Illinois
in 1914. He gained his A.M. de-
gree from the University in 1915
and received a Litt. D. in 1958.

He also holds the Litt. D. de-
gree from Columbia University,
Bowdoin, and Adelphi.

He received his Ph. D. degree
from Columbia University in
1920 and began teaching there
in that year as an Instructor in
English.

He remained at Columbia un-
til his retirement in 1959.

It deserves a title more wor-
thy of its great merits this year.
The Seniors have taken this an-
nual tradition and changed it
into an unforgetable musical
allegory.

The cryptic title of this grand
performance, "How I Stopped
Worrying and Learned to Love
my Mother", given in Convoca-
tion last week, is only the sub-
title of the wonderful opera.
The real title is saved for a
surprise.

The reason for this is that
if the real title became known
prematurely, Gaines Opera-
house would be filled to capa-
city in a manner of minutes,
and many deserving people
would miss the performance.

This way, it is hoped that the
riff-raff will absent themsel-
ves so that the cultured ele-
ment can get good seats.

Such Met stars as Luigi
Laird, Murielio Lindsalli, Mar-
garet Rodgerio, and Maelli Hall
will perform with their usual
brilliance. Music will be sup-
plied by "Beethoven" Belcher.

Gaines will resound with the
stirring and familiar strains
of the best loved music - given
new significance by the genius
of Mary Womackiski.

Mere words cannot describe
the wonder of this great per-
formance. Only your actual
presence will suffice.

There will be only one per-
formance at Scott. The com-
pany leaves the next day for
New York and points east. So
there is only one chance.
To miss this would carve a
great hole in your cultural foun-
dations, and you would leave
Agnes Scott with a sense of a
profound lack.

Falls Village, Connecticut.

Mr. Van Doren was literary
editor of "The Nation" from
1924 until 1928 and a motion
picture critic from 1935 to 1958.

A member of the American
Academy of Arts and Letters
and winner of the Pulitzer
Prize for Poetry, Mr. Van Dor-
en has written many books.

Several of his works are in
the Agnes Scott library. Among
his books of poetry which are
in the library are Collected
Poems , for which he won the
Pulitzer Prize in 1940, and
Collected and New Poems .

Several of Mr. Van Doren's
books which are in the field of
non-fictional writing and which
may be found in the Agnes Scott
library include Liberal Educa-
tion. The Autioblography of
Mark Van Doren, and Shakes-
peare .

His play, The Last Days of
Lincoln, is also in the library.

Other works which Mr. Van
Doren suggested in preparation
for his visit on campus include
Selected Poems . Collected
Stories t The Noble Voice , and
The Happy Critic and Other Es-
says.

Westervelt
Given Grant

Mr. Westervelt, art profes-
fessor at Agnes Scott, is the
winner of the 1963-64 Grant-
in- Aid Award of the Atlanta
Arts Festival, composed of a
group of local artists who lend
moral and financial support to
deserving local artists.

This is the first time that
the Award has been given to
someone not a painter or sculp-
tor. Mr. Westervelt feels that
this reflects community inte-
rest in other kinds of art.

Mr. Westervelt plans to use
the grant to finance his experi-
mentation with pieces thrown
on the pottery wheel that are
used as decorative forms (us-
ually for an architectural set-
ting).

Asked what motivated him to
experiment with pottery, Mr.
Westervelt said, "After you
have made about 10,000 pieces
of pottery, you try -to think of
ways to use them other than to
eat and drink out of".

"Historically, there has been
a divorce between pottery as a 1
form of expression and painting
and sculpture. My experiments
are an effort to bring about a
synthesis between wheel-
thrown forms and the classical
forms of painting and sculpture
in an architectural context."

Coming Back

Alumnae Weekend - and a question comes to mind: why do
so many of the "old girls" come back? Will we? So many of
us vow: "Never I" and yet we wonder.

There must be something here at Agnes Scott which brings
us bacK - which makes us remember our years here with a
touch of Sehnsucht.

A girls' school is boring at times to most of us, but there
is something unique about the life it offers.

Its secluded (cloistered?) atmosphere may separate us from
the world, but it also may draw us nearer to ourselves.

We may resent in loco parentis; we may disagree with the
policies; but are these points the center of our lives? The
alumnae return perhaps not so much to see the school as to see
their old friends in the place where they first knew and loved
them.

This college offers us the opportunity to live with other girls
(no boys, just girls). Strange and unnatural? No preparation for
life? No-a part of life which we will not miss - a very valuable
part.

The most important factor in our lives here is not necessarily
an academic one, nor can it be rightly be called campus-wide.

Our happiest memories will not be of courses but of people -
of those we have loved and admired most: a professor (secretly
and from afar), a friend.

Freshmen think that they will never be upperclassmen. Seniors
realize that the years have indeed flown. When we leave Agnes
Scott, we leave not only the school but also the people.

For this we may return.

J. K.

Moving Ahead

The staff of the Profile wishes to thank all those students who
made their criticism of our first paper last week. The new
Profile was in many ways an experiment - the staff met Thurs-
day night to discuss changes that will be made to provide the
campus with the best possible paper, one that reflects the true
spirit of the college.

We meet this challenge with renewed enthusiasm because you
took the time to tell us what you enjoyed as well as what was not
so good. Comments came from administration and students; we
take this opportunity to say that we will do all we can to con-
tinue to deserve the praise.

One of the first steps toward improvement comes in the area
of letters to the editor. The staff has formulated rules concerning
these letters which we feel will be helpful to us and to you.

No anonymous letters will be considered for publication. If
you have a responsible opinion to state, state it lresponsibly-
signedl Letters should not exceed 200 words in length.

We encourge your response, out we reserve the right to decide
what is fitting for publication. Criticism of the dining hall, for
example, should first be taken to the suggestion box or to the
staff there.

A four page paper cannot abserb the atmosphere created by one
letter in many cases. We are the first to stand up for freedom

Seminars

Student Curriculum Committee is sponsoring two study groups
during fall quarter, 1964. These are designed to offer busy
scholars with interests outside their course work and an oppor-
tunity for reading and discussion in areas of concern.

Members of the Agnes Scott faculty have consented to con-
tribute the time to this effort. "The Civil Rights Movement"
will be the topic under examination by the group led by Mr.
John Tumblin of the Department of Sociology.

A seminar on the lively political events of this 1964 election
year will meet with Mr. W.G. Cornelius of the History and
Political Science Department.

Each week during the fall the groups will meet for one hour's
discussion of pertinent reading material and the implications of
current developments.

During course selection week, which ends Wednesday, May 6,
registration forms for 'The Civil Rights Movement" and for
"Issues and Candidates 1964" will be in the office of the Regis-
trar along with official course selection materials. They are to
be returned to that office by 5 p.m.. May 6.

No credit will be given for these seminars. They are intended
to supplement the academic curriculum in the best interest of
an informed and concerned student body. Projected topics for
future quarters include "Existentialism" and "Moral Values
in the Real World."

Before the end of this spring quarter, the persons registered
for each group will meet with their professor to discuss reading
materials.

Letters To The Editor

Dear Editor,

If the hospitality of Agnes
Scott were to be judged by the
graciousness in the dimng hall,
we would be characterized as
being a most unhospitable col-
lege.

Saturday morning at exactly
8:32 two elderly alumnae polite-
ly asked to be served. However,
much to their amazement they
were confronted with an abrupt
"no".

It made no difference that
these hungry ladies had pre-
viously bought their breakfast
tickets or that the food was
still out.

These ladies, who obviously

did not wish to cause a scene,
asked the gruff keeper-of-the
food if she knew of any restau-
rants near Scott.

She uttered only one word,
"grill". If several girls had not
been present, these ladies would
never have located this grill.

Surely Agnes Scott is more
gracious to elderlv visitors than
this episode indicates. How-
ever, unnecessary scenes as
this are definitely a discredit
to any institution.

Signed,
Nancy Carmichael

HUB- BUB

That our generation is a
"unique one" has been a the-
ory much-adhered to, not only
by our peers, but by our pa-
rents' generation also. "There
is a definite lack of communi-
cation," many have said, "be-
tween today's young people and
their parents."

We college students flatter
ourselves by thinking that the
estrangement is to be blamed,
not on the age difference be-
tween the two groups or on
th e difference in the age in
which we live, but on some-
thing more basic.

Members of our generation
are more intelligent, more
open-minded, more rebellous,
more independent, and above
all, have more pressing pro-
blems (or so we like to think
than our parents.

Consequently, no other gene-
ration has the adequate criteria
on which to base an under-
standing of us.

If any Agnes Scott student
had previously held to these
ideas, she wo.uld have surely
had them dashed this week-end
had she spent some time in
talking to the alumnae who
swarmed our campus for Alum-
nae Weeekend.

It seems that the gap be-
tween today's Scotties and those
of the previous generation is
not so wide as one may have
imagined. For that matter many
alumna told of college experi-
ences that are strikingly simi-
lar to those that we may tell
our children.

A conversation between two
alumnae, the mother of one of
our contemporaries and her
college roomate, concerning
smoking problems in "their
day", was overhead.

On seeing girls smoking in
the study smokers in the dorms,
they showed marked surprise
and began to lament the in-
conveniences they had to face
to have a cigarette.

Mrs. A. Why, I remember
going to Atlanta many times
for the express purpose of hav-
ing a cigarette.

Mrs. X Big problem you
hadl You didn't even inhale.
I used to have dresses altered
at the Decatur dressmaker's

have a place to smoke. Think
of the expense I

At 2:55 p.m. on Saturday
as one of our illustrious Shakes-
pearean scholars raced across
campus to turn in a paper (due
at 3:00 p.m.), she nearly knock-
ed down an alumna.

Stopping briefly to apologize,
she explained the reason for
her hurry. The middle-aged
alumna smiled understandingly.
"Ah yes, I took the course my-
self. In fact one of my most
vivid memories of college life
is that of failing the Hamlet
objective."

A shudder went down the stu-
dent's spine at the all too vivid
memory this statement evoked
in her as she raced off again.

One pleasant little lady was
asking a Hub-bite about chapel
programs. When told that we
have compulsory convocation
only once weekly although there
are daily programs, she ex-

by Felicia Guest

Jules Massenet's famous mas-
terpiece, "Manon," will be pre-
sented by the Metropolitan Ope-
ra on Wednesday night of At-
lanta's Opera Week this year.

"Manon" is both one of the
most popular French operas
and one of the most character-
istic. It contains delightful dan-
ces in antique style which help
evoke the background of eight-
eenth century France.

It is also filled with a ly-
ricism of such grace and re-
finement that only a French-
man would have written it.

Massenet, however, does not
sacrifice the dramatic element
for his lyricism. It is for this
reason that "Manon" is one of
his most effective works.

The climactic scenes, while
never aspiring to the grandeur
and bigness of those in Italian
opera, do not fail to affect au-
diences everywhere.

It was to serve the drama
that Massenet resorted to the
innovation of utilizing the spok-
en dialogue traditional to the
opera comique against an ef-
fective orchestral background;
the dialogue keeps the action
fluid, while the accompaniment
emphasizes and intensifies the
mood of the play.

The action takes place in
Amiens, Paris, and Le Havre
early in the eighteenth cen-
tury. Chevalier des Grieux falls
in love with the beautiful Man-
on Lescaut and prevails upon
her to run away with him.

They set up house in Paris.

More infatuated with her than
ever, Des Grieux is determin-
ed to marry Manon, as he
writes to his father. To pre-
vent this marriage the father
contrives to have his son ab-
ducted.

Unable to forget his beloved,
Des Grieux decides to renounce
the world and find peace in
priesthood. The arrival of Man-
on alters this decisionl once
again he runs away with her!

At a gambling house Des
Grieux is falsely accused of
cheating and is saved from the
police only by his father's in-
tervention; but Manon is ar-
rested as a disreputable char-
acter. She is sent into exile.

On the road to Le Havre, Des
Grieux awaits her coach in an
attempt to save her. But it is
too late^. sick and emaciated,
Manon dies in his arms.

Anna Moffo will sing Manon,
while Des Grieux will be sung
by Barry Morrell.

Mozart's incomparable "Don
Giovanni" will be heard on
Thursday night of Opera Wet k.
"Don Giovanni," like most of
Mozart's operas, is in the tra-

ed in his day.

If it was not stifled by these
traditions as were so many
other eighteenth- century ope-
ras, it was only because of Mo-
zart's gift for characterization
and dramatic development to-
gether with his wit, noble feel-
ing, and inexhaustible musical
inventiveness.

an opera seria, but a combina-
tion of both, Mozart applied to
his new opera the designation
of "Drama giocoso" or "gay
drama."

Don Giovanni is, of course,
the famous lover of story and
legend. In disguise he has come
with his servant, Leporello, to
the palace of the Commenda-
tore to seduce the latter 's
daughter, Donna Anna, betroth-
ed to Don Ottavio.

Donna Anna's resistance, as
she tries to uncover the iden-
tity of the Don, brings the Com-
mendatore to the scene. The
Don kills him and escapes.

He next tries to win Donna
Elvira. When he suddenly rec-
ognizes her as one of his old-
time sweethearts, he makes a
discreet exit, leaving his ser-
vant to make the necessary ex-
planations.

Don Giovanni is now attract-
ed to Zerlina, who is being
married to Masseto. At the wed-
ding ceremony Leporello en-
gages Massetto, while Don Gio-
vanni works his charms on the
bride.

When Zerlina cries for help,
the Don effects his escape by
fighting his way through the
crowd. But Don Giovanni's ruth-
less escapades are not to go un-
punished.

Leporello comes to him with
the startling news that the mar-
ble statue of the Commendatore
has spoken, promising to bring
vengeance.

Mockingly, Don Giovanni in-
vites the statue to be his guest
at supper that very evening. The
statue comes. When Don Gio-
vanni brazenly refuses to mend
his dissolute ways, a pit of fire
opens up and envelopes him.

The epilogue (frequently
omitted) is a gay recital by
Leporello of the Don's fate, and
the joyous reaction of the other
principal characters.

The setting is Seville, Spain,
in the middle of the seventeenth
century.

Cesare Siepi will sing Don
Giovanni. Donna Anna will be
sung by Leontyne Price and

Movie Drives Columnist Mad

By Marilyn Little

"It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad,
Wgrld" is advertized as one of
the funniest movies ever pro-
duced, Well, it is the funniest
Cinerama ever produced (and
also the only Cinerama comedy
that has been made).

"Mad World" has all the
potential for success: beauti-
ful photography, a cast of fam-
ous comedians, a fast and hard-
hitting plot, and two million
slapstick stunts.

Such assets are extremely
valuable in making a successful
comedy. No doubt the producers
felt that such valuable pro-
perties would be even more
successful if given in quantity.

As a result, everything is laid
on so heavily that the audience
should feel as if they've been
run over by a steam roller.

Instead of two or three come-
dians carrying the punch lines,
there are thirty. Worse still,
they are such notables as
Mickey Rooney, Ethel Mermen,
Milton Berle, Sid Caesar, etc.,

who have never been known
for their ability to share a spot-
light.

They certainly do not try here
either.

For a fast and hard-hitting
plot, there is nothing more
"sure-fire" than a cross-
country race to find buried tre-
asure.

In fact, the best scenes in the
movie come from the spectacle
of this race along the highway:
four cars, alternately neck and
neck, bumper to bumper, doing
80 m. p. h. around the Sierra
Nevadas.

But as for the two million
slapstick stunts, the writers
must have thought them up at a
Bacchanalia.

The only stunts or optical ill-
usions omitted from "Mad
world" are Pink Elephants,
which, in all honesty, should
have been the central images.

nicolor version of "Thirty
Stooges," save your money and

Honorary Fraternity Elects
Sarah Uzzell Treasurer

An Agnes Scott sophomore
has been elected to a high post
in a national honorary fratern-
ity.

Sarah Uzzell has received the
office of treasurer of Eta Sig-
ma Phi, the national honorary
classics fraternity. She was
elected at the fraternity's an-
nual convention, held this year
at the University of Missouri
in Columbia, Mo.

Miss Uzzell was representing
Alpha Delta chapter, the A.S.C.
chapter of Eta Sigma Phi. Jane
Woodell is president of the
local group, whose purpose is
to stimulate an interest in the
classics.

As treasurer, Miss Uzzell

says that she will have all oi
her expenses paid to the na-
tional convention next year,
which will be held in Richmond,
Va.

Besides her work in Eta Sig-
ma Phi, Miss Uzzell has been
active in other groups. This
year she was local treasurer of
Pi Alpha Phi, debating fratern-
ity, an officer in Canterbury,
and on the school Inter- Faith
Council.

She is also interested in po-
litical activities. She has been
vice-chairman of N.S.A. on
campus and an active partici-
pant in Young Republicans, Y.A.
F., and politics in general. She
is presently co-chairman of
the State Youth for Goldwater.

At the midpoint of the Volley-
ball season, here are the cur-
rent class standings. This past
week the young blood campus
took the honors. Freshmen
downed the Juniors, and Sopho-

So the Sophomores and the
Juniors are tied for first place
with two wins each. The Fresh-
men and the Seniors are run-
ning a close second with each
class having one win. At this
point in the season anything
could happen.

Marge Joyce and the girls
working with her on the Chris-
tian Association tutorial pro-
ject are quite enthusiastic about
the progress made this year.

Fall quarter, Scott girls
signed up to work with either
Negro children from the
Cooper St. School or with white
children from the Cook School.
(There was an over abundance
of Scotties who preferred to
work with the Negro children).
This program is coordinated
through the Wesley House Com-
munity Center.

Several introductory classes
were given on the Scott cam-
pus during the fall session. Win-
ter quarter the project actually
got off the ground. Thirty-six
girls with five substitutes are
currently tutoring the children.
A car leaves the campus each
after noon at 3:30 and returns
at 5:30. Each Scott girl goes
once a week to meet with her
child. These children are in
the fourth through the seventh
grades.

At the beginning of the pro-
gram the school teachers fill-
ed out forms indicating what the
particular needs of each child
were. The white children are
allowed to bring their books
home from school so that Scot-
ties can help them with their
actual assignments.

The Negro children quite often
are not allowed to bring their
school books home.

Sandy Wilson, junior, is cur-
rently helping a fourt h grader

with math. Sandy says that the
father of her child is complete-
ly blind and the mother partial-
ly blind.

Sandy's task is not only to
help the child with math but to
give her extra attentions which
she needs. Sandy says, "I had
forgotten how much arithmetic
is sheer memorizationl My
child is having trouble remem-
bering how to distinguish be-
tween larger and smaller frac-
tions."

Portia Morrison, sophomore,
is working with a fifth grader
from Cooper St. School. Portia
helps the child in particular
with reading and in general
with her study habits. She says,
"I make charts for my child to
take home so that she can keep
track of her study habits."

After winter quarter teach-
ers filled out evaluation sheets
indicating that some children
had improved their grades, and
many had an increased interest
in school.

''Many children have much
more confidence in school,"
says Marge Joyce. Plans for
next year include the possibi-
lity that the children will be
tutored on campus.

Students Contribute
To Kennedy Library

The word memorial' may
have stale overtones to you, but
this Memorial Library is to be
a living, working research cen-
ter. It will contain all of Ken-
nedy's documents and papers,
also movies of his speeches and
his career in general.

It will be a center of educa-
tion and a living memorial to a
president and a man greatly in-
terested in education. It will
also be the only national monu-
ment, built by the states, to
Kennedy.

The library will eventually
be provided for by Congress;
hence, it is for all Americans.

During the next two weeks
each of us will have an oppor-
tunity to contribute to this fund.

Everyone who does contribute
will be asked to sign one of the
signature sheets, all of which
will be permanently displayed
in the library.

Phi Beta Kappa

This year's Phi Beta Kappa
banquet will be held Thursday,
May 7, at 7:00 p.m. in the Sky
Room of the Decatur Federal
Building. Dr. Virginia Tuggel,
an alumna of Agnes Scott, will
be the guest speaker.

Dr. Tuggel, who is a specia-
list in internal medicine, will
talk on 'The True Meaning of
Medicine."

Dr. Tuggel became a member
of Phi Beta Kappa while she
attended Agnes Scott.

Preceding the dinner, there
will be a formal initiation for
the new members.

We hope each student will take
advantage of the opportunity to
have V part in the building of
this center of education and re-
search this living memorial to
John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

When John Fitzgerald Ken-
nedy died last fall, his death
meant many different things to
all of us. To the college stu-
dents it was the tragic death of
not only a President but also a
man greatly interested in young
people, as exemplified in the
Peace Corps.

All of us have wished that
there were something we could
do in his memory, and now there
is. A national drive has been
started to raise funds for the
John Fitzgerald Kennedy Mem-
orial Library, and college stu-
dents are leading the drive with
a final goal of $500,000.

Here in Georgia fifty-five
schools will participate under
the chairmanship of Mike Smith,
an Emory student. When Sen-
ator Edward Kennedy was in
Atlanta Monday, Governor San-
ders issued a proclamation de-
claring the weeks of May 4-18

*3n tern a lion a (fy
Speaking,

by Sandy Prescott

Few of us will ever forget
the afternoon which is official-
ly termed, "October, 1962" or
'The Cuban Crisis."

Most of us were shocked in-
to a sudden awareness of ' the
world outside" as we listened
throughout the day to the tele-
vision and radio news broad-
casts and, especially, to the
President's emergency report
in the early evening.

Fears and uncomfortable
thoughts of friends and relatives
even remotely connected with
the armed forces hovered about
us as persistently as we listen-
ed for "the News."

We felt then (and history has
maintained) that President Ken-
nedy made an excellent show of
American strength and deter-
mination. Ironically, the most
frequent reaction was an ex-
pressed confidence in the Pres-
ident's leadership. A good many
of our generation felt the first

awareness of "America

my country. Where would I be
without it? What would I be?"

The news magazine, "U. S.
News and World Report" car-
ried an interesting article in its
May 4 issue which gives much
thought for reflection concern-
ing American foreign policy in
the Cold War.

There has been a noticeable
softening since Kennedy's
death, according to the evi-
dence presented by this maga-
zine:

An "arrangement" (no trea-
ty) between the U.S. and Russia
for a cutback in nuclear ma-
terials a reprimand by

American officials in Laos to
"right-wing leaders who upset
a left wing coalition" there,
thus upsetting the neutral laos
of another American- Russian
arrangement;

According to Khrushchev and
Secretary of State Rusk, these
moves represent a "policy of
mutual example" or "a cer-
tain circumstance of policy,"
respectively.

In spite of skepticism among
Congressional leaders who
point to past Russian betrayals,
President Johnson's advisers
emphasize that such deals are
made only if in the American
interests, , and only when they
are "safe" for us.

To encourage faith and con-
fidence in Johnson's new ex-
periment in the Cold War, his
supporters point out that the
"truce" is only with Moscow
directly. The United States is
rigidly maintaining a "no-non-
sense policy" o*. Cuba, South
Vietnam, Red China or any-
where else it needs to.

For example, the U.S. refus-
ed last week to discontinue its
reconaissance flights over Cuba
in spite of Khrushchev's "war
abyss" warning).

American authorities feel the
new line is justified especially
because of Kennedy's calling the
1 962 Cuban showdown. They are
also taking into account Rus-
sia's present internal economic
difficulties and its growing feud
with Red China.

Orientation

Little girls, some say, are made of "sugar and spice and every-
thing nice," but we know that there are other things in little girls
too.

Agnes Scott's freshmen orientation program, some of us think,
is made of new students, junior sponsors, sophomore helpers,
viewbooks and name-tags; but just like the definition of little girls,
this one of the orientation program is incomplete.

The personal involvement of each student is often the missing
ingredient in our conception of what makes this program. Too
many of us tend to let all the responsibility for a worth-while
introduction to the school fall on the five-member orientation
committee and its advisory council.

Let's make this the year each board considers the value of
its own activites during orientation and re-evaluates the effective-
ness of traditional plans.

Let's make this the time, now, when plans are still being made,
that the rest of us air our gripes about last year's orientation
and make our suggestions for next year's.

And let's us all realize the part that each upperclassman plays

in the first and often lasting impression the new student

will get of the college. B.A.

Whither Thou Goest

Obviously it is time to fill out room cards again. It is rather
obvious since I (Jere) was awakened in the middle of the night
to find four freshmen whispering, "Isn't that cute?" in the corner
of my room.

And I (Diane) was interrupted at my bath by sophomores check-
ing the plumbing. It has occured to us that everyone might be
spared from such interruptions if we published this handy dandy
wallet-sized guide to Agnes Scott dorms:

Group Presents
Spring Concert

On Friday, May 8, the Agnes
Scott Dance Group will present
their annual concert at 8:30 p.m.
in the gym.

The program will consist of
three suites which depict dif-
ferent phases of man's histo-
rical and mental development.

The first suite is a folk suite.
Its dances show life on the
plains, on the seacoast, and in
the mountains. It presents the
development of living from the
Civil War to the jazz age.

The second suite has a slight-
ly different approach in that it
deals with the inner develop-
ment ol man, the development
of his characteristics and mind.

The seniors present a dance
entitled die ' Ladder" which

shows how man is constantly
fighting to reach the top. Al-
though his attempts are unsuc-
cessful, he manages to destroy
other peoples' lives in his fight
for success.

The third suite is entitled
"Chains of Time", and it deals
witli all of the former conquerors
of the world. It shows how man-
kind is constantly enslaved by
conquerers (Hitler, for exam-
ple), and it shows how each suc-
ceeding conqueror is just a new-
er example of the age-old ty-
rant.

Admission is free for the
Agnes Scott community. Ad-
mission for visitors will be
$1.00 for adults and 50f for
children.

note on the third Winship bulle-
tin board and others like it can
and will be seen as the Young
Republicans on campus, lead
by Sarah Uzzell, sophomore,
prepare for a busy election
year.

Last weekend Sarah and other
Goldwater fans from Scott at-
tended the State GOP Conven-
tion at the Municipal Audito-
rium.

Sarah was the only Scottie
who arrived in time for the
twenty - five dollar - a - plate
breakfast at the Dinkier Plaza
Hotel. She walked into the lob-
by of the hotel, expecting to
stand up during the breakfast
when a man said, "I always
like to help young people." He
handed Sarah a free ticket
which , incidentally, gave her
a place right across from
Barry.

Helping as official Goldwater
girls at the convention were
Ginger Martin, Ellen King,
Terri Singer, sophomores; and
Barbara Bates, Frances Wads-
worth, Claire Allen, freshmen.
These girls acted as official
ushers escorting Goldwater in
and out of the convention and
they handed out resolutions.
The girls even helped to de-
monstrate with the elephant at
the convention.

In previous weeks the Scott
Young Republicans have been
quite active. They attended the
GOP Mock Convention at Emory
campaigning for Goldwater pri-
marily against Emory who voted
solidly for Henry Cabot Lodge.
Other schools present at the
convention were Georgia Tech,
Georgia State, Georgia Medical
School, Spellman Morehouse,
and Atlanta University.

Barry Goldwater, Jr. was in
town the weekend of the Mock
Convention. He spoke at some
length to the Scotties about his
father's political views.

Sarah is co-chairman with
a student from Georgia Sou-
thern of the South Eastern Young
Republicans. This area includes
five southern states. On May
23, Sarah as co-chairman will
preside at the Georgia Con-
vention of Young Republicans
in Augusta.

If Goldwater is nominated
as the Republican presidential
candidate Scotties will work
closely with the DeKalb pre-
cinct next year. No matter who
receives the nomination the
Young Republicans will bring
guests to the campus next year
to speak on the issues of the
election.

An interesting note for poli-
tically minded students is that
both the Young Republicans and
the Democrats have submitted
constitutions to Rep, Council
in order to become official
clubs on the Scott campus.

bands were ex-GI's, matured
by several years in an adult
world. But even so, it was al-
so noted that in the instances
of the happier marriages "al-
most every woman went on to
get her degree with little or no
intei ruption. . . . the- fact that
they did- despite pregnancy,
poverty and motherhood-seems
to have an important bearing
on the successful outcome of
their marriages."

Critic Praises "Hamlet" Rendition

By LIBBY McGEACHY
For an hour on Friday night,
May 1, the stage of Gaines
Chapel was transformed into
the "Wonderful, Wonderful El-
sinore," as the world famous
Senior- Politan Opera Company
presented its own interpretation
of Shakespeare's Hamlet, alias
"How I Stopped Worrying and
Learned to Love My Mother."

The star of the performance,
Mary Lou Laird, seemed to
have taken a slight cue from
Richard Burton, for she, too,
portrayed Hamlet as a calcu-
lating castle politician one who
remembered his Psychology
312 and used it. However, Ham-
let seemed to lack just a little
of his pathos as he burst into
the song ,"Oh My Papa," upon
the mention of his murdered
father.

In the end of the show Ham-
let died in true operatic tra-
dition with a song on his ^ips
and a sword through hi heart.

Sylvia Thorne became Polo-
nius with characteristic gusto.
Her movements and facial ex-
pressions added greatly to the
parody on the famous tragedy.
Her death aria, "What ho! Ho,
help, help. O, I am slainl" was
excellent.

Another hilarious perfor-
mance was given by Mary Mac
Mitchell, the comedienne of the
last few convocations. Her en-
trance as the dancing ghost and
her duet with Hamlet, "Some-
thing's Rotten in the State of
Denmark," brought down the
house.

Adelaide Hutto who was Ger-
trude, the sexily indulgent
mother of Hamlet, played the
part well. Her boudoir and ba-
nanna scene with Hamlet
brought reminiscences of Mrs.
Waters and the movie Tom
Jones.

Mae Hall as Hamlet's love,

Ophelia, and Margaret Rogers
as King Claudius were proper-
ly convincing. The movement
of the opera from Mae's song,
"I'm Gonna Wash Those Men
Right Out of My Hair," to the
song "Ophelia's Drowned" was
particularly funny.

The best thing in the opera
was done by Muriel Lindseywho
sang "All Those Bills," and by
Sue Dixon and Lynn Weekley
who sang "Rosencrantz and
Guildenstern."

Sandy Tausig's imitation of
Mrs. Pepperdene's song, "Let
Me Entertain You," from the
Faculty Revue was also well
rendered.

Of course, the Orchestra in

ment, was given by Ginny Bel-

ior musicians directed by Bren-

Recognition is due also to

was composed of Sandy Tausig,
Lucia Bacot, Mary Womack, and
Mae Hall. The costume commit-
tee consisted of Betty Earl

who, along with Ann Booton and
Eleanor Chiu, also did the light-
ing.

Margaret Whitton, SusanTut-
hill, and Mary Jo Winterlewere
in charge of publicity and tic-
kets, while Sarah Hodges and
Ennis Parker served on the
program committee.

Ann Daniels was in charge of
the house and Frances Howard
did the make-up. Polly Paine,
Karen Selser, and Anne Foster
were in charge of props.

As for every opening night of
an opera, the audience came
dressed in its finest regalia.

The Senior- Politan Opera was
especially honored by the en-
trance of Tom Jones and his
three loves, the Klu Klux Klan,
and an academic procession.

The audience was not disap-
pointed. It saw a truly unique
opera which, as promised, left
them primed for the Opera Week
to come.

The independent college belongs to those who believfc
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 indepen-
dent college abides as a citadel of the unfettered mind and
spirit.

Sutherland, Hines Sing Opera Weekend

By FELICIA GUEST
The ageless drama of Gou-
nod's "Faust" will be pre-
sented by the Metropolitan Ope-
ra Company on Friday night of
Atlanta's Opera Week this year.

The popularity of this opera
is attested to by the fact that
is was the work chosen to
open the newly-founded Metro-
politan Opera in 1883.

"Faust" overflows with won-
derful melodies of all kinds:
rousing choruses, mocking and
satiric tunes, sentimental me-
lodies, and heart -warming lyr-
icisms. The music is direct in
its emotional appeal, with no at-
tempt at subtlety.

LOVE AFFAIR

The text of the opera was
derived from the epic drama
of Goethe. But the opera does
not concern itself with Goe-
the's metaphysical ideas; it

HUB- BUB

Our heartiest congratulations
to A, A. on the success of last
Wednesday night's Donut party
and old-fashioned Hub sing. It
reminded many of the old-
timers (Juniors and Seniors)
of the "good ole days".

Some of our most pleasant
memories of Agnes Scott are
those of singing around the
piano, "tip-toeing through the
tulips", and throwing inhibition
to the winds and dancing wildly
with our normally sedate
friends.

For those of you who missed
the party, let it be known that
you missed a really good time.
It was a time which was well-
utilized in "letting off steam"

If you have had the uncon-
trollable urge to hit your room-
mate, wring your dates neck,
or poison a professor you had
the opportunity to displace these
hostile feelings at the A. A,
party.

Everyone felt completely
drained of tension when the
party was over. Not only did the
bellowing to the top of one's
lungs and the frenzied body
movements of those caught up
in the throes of the primitive
dance, the bird, add to the
tension-letting atmosphere of
the night, but also a totally
unexpected attraction lent it-
self to the Scott students as a
scapegoat for any physical vio-
lence that may have been pent-
up.

As the mob the Hub was
reaching the peak of exuber-
ance, suddenly a terrifying fi-
gure appeared in the doorway

centers entirely around the love
affair of Faust and Marguerite
and the tragedy it brought them.

The story is well-known:
Faust, the aged philosopher and
alchemist, trades his soul for
his lost youth with Mephistophe-
les. He returns to make love
to Marge rite, betrays her, and
deserts her.

Her brother, Valentine, seek-
ing revenge, challenges both
Faust and Mephistopheles, and
is killed. Marguerite meanwhile
has killed the child that was
born to her and must suffer
execution.

Faust comes to save her. It
is to late. She withstands
Faust's urging, swoons, and is
carried aloft by the angels.

Jerome Hines will sing Meph-
istopheles, and Alexander will
sing Faust in Atlanta.

The Saturday matinee will be

"skeleton in the closet", Doo-
ley, that symbol of "fun and
frolick", as one Emory stu-
dent aptly puts it, who is re-
leased once annually as the har-
binger of "Dooley's Week-
end".

Feelings rose as the hideous

figure raced through the crowd
of startled girls, squirting them
with waterguns.

After a stanza or two of "Hang
down your head Tom Dooley...
for tomorrow you're going to
die". mob of Scott strong-

arms converged on Dooley,
lifted him bodily from his bony
feet, and carried him, fight-
ing and screaming / to the boy's
restroom, where he was locked
in for a short stay. This event
capped a perfect party.

For those of you who missed
this Hub party don't make the
same mistake twice. Of course
a Dooley at every Hub parry
can't be promised, but a good
time can.

Don't miss the next Hub party
on May 6 sponsored by Social
Council. See you there?

Donizetti's masterpiece, "Lu-
cia di Lammermoor". Joan
Sutherland will sing the title
role, the role that crowned her
achievements as a matchless
early be canto stylist of the cur-
rent operatic ora.

Containing two of the most
famous numbers in all opera,
the sextet (II, ii) and Lucia's
mad scene G^ii) "Lucia" has
remained popular with audi-
ences just as much because of
the sustained beauty of its lyr-
icism.

The text, based on Sir Walter
Scott's 'The Bride of Lammer-
moor," is filled with violent
emotions: love, hate and jea-
lousy of the most intense kind.

Lucy and Edgar Ravenwood
are in love. But Lucy's brother,
Henry Ashton trying to reha-
bilitate the fortunes of his fami-
ly has pledged her to Lord
Arthur Bucklaw.

FORGED LETTERS

When Edgar Ravenswood goes
off on a mission to France, Hen-
ry Ashton intercepts his letters
to Lucy and forges others to
prove her lover's infidelity.

He finally succeeds in win-
ning Lucy's consent to marry-
ing Lord Arthur Bucklaw. No
sooner is the marriage contract
signed than Edgar Ravenswood
suddenly makes his appearance.

Overwhelmed on learning that
Lucy has apparently jilted him
to marry someone else, he
curses the house of Lammer-
moor. On her wedding night,
Lucy loses her mind.

She kills her husband and
commits suicide* Ravenswood,
too commits suicide when he
learns the truth.

Richard Tucker will sing
Edgar Ravenswood in Atlanta.

"FALSTAFF"

"Falstaff," Verdi's last
opera and his only comedy, is
to be the last opera in At-
lanta's 1964 series. The appeal
of "Falstaff" lies in its deli-
cacy of expression rather than
in passion and intensity, in
subtlety of detail rather than
in massive effects.

"Falstaff" is a score of the
most consummate craftsman-
ship as well as artistry. Since
Boito's libretto is, at the same
time, one of the finest in opera
literature, the opera stands as
an outstanding example of
comic opera.

The story is adapted from
two Shakespeare comedies,
'The Merry Wives of Windsor"
and "Henry IV".

Falstaff, in sorry financial
condition, aspires to rehabili-
tate his fortunes by entering into
a liason with either of two re-
spectablp and affluent ladies:

To each he writes identical

to play a game with the fat old
man: they arrange a rendez-
vous. Falstaff leaves happily
for the house of Mistress Ford,
but the approaching voice of
Ford sends him hiding behind a
screen.

LAUNDRY BASKET

When Ford goes searching
through the house, Falstaff is
concealed by the ladies in a
laundry basket and dumped un-
ceremoniously out of the window
into the river below.

Another rendezvous is ar-
ranged for midnight in Windsor
Park; here the women and their
friends have planned to taunt
and harass him. As he makes
love to Mistress Ford, strange
sounds make him fear that
supernatural powers have been
let loose.

Disguised as fairies, the con-
spirators emerge from their
hiding place to give Falstaff a
resounding beating. Falstaff has

What's Celestial
At Agnes Scott

One of the items on many a graduating senior's list of "Things
I Just Never Got Around to Doing" is a trip to Bradley Observa-
tory.

It seems that the Observatory is another "captive audience
on campus. The only students who go are those who take astronomy
and a few celestially inclined couples spending a quiet evening
on campus.

The Observatory deserves a better turn-out. It merits a more
appreciative audience.

The Observatory has an atmosphere of quiet gazing coupled
with resounding tones of the FM Radio speakers that Dr. Cal-
der has rigged up. They broadcast good music from every corner
of the observatory. Going to the observatory is not a case of
walking up a steep hill, looking at one star in a telescope that
looks like every other star, and then walking back.

There are all kinds of interesting activities going on up there.

The big telescope is used to look at the wire topography of the
moon, impressive clusters of stars, the rings of Saturn (they look
just like the pictures), and othe r distant-and beautiful-stellar
objects.

The Observatory also houses a small planitarium that is
used to point out constellations and demonstrate the principles
that apply in astronomical work.

Out on the roof there are usually small telescopes, binocu-
lars, and streoscopic binoculars for looking at large objects.
One can contemplate that strange crater on the moon that insists
on glowing in the dark for example.

Usually Dr. Calder will whip out his trusty army surplus signal
gun to point out the constellation outlines in the sky. You may
look at a small met or track a satellite.

The Observatory is the place to go if you want to be impressed
with how little you are and how big everything else is-
Or if you want to get out in the air and just enjoy a Wordsworthian
communion with nature - Or if you want to learn about the biggest
and most exciting area of human endeavor going.

Vis tors are always welcome, and it doesn't matter whether
you know what's going on or not. You'll know when you leave,
and you'll be glad you took advantage of one of the most in-
teresting places on campus.

Impressions Of A Poet

Of all the ways in which Mark Van Doren endeared himself to
our campus community, perhaps the most amazing was the relish
with which he ate his peanut butter sandwich at Wednesday lunch.

In any case, Agnes Scott will long remember Mr. Van Doren
for both his wit and charm and the ideas which he presented in
his various campus lectures.

In our twentieth century society which seems dominated by
a pessimistic and nihilistic philosophy, Mr. Van Doren's postive
approach to life was most refreshing and rewarding.

He acknowledged the state of our civilization. Since Nietzsche
proclaimed "God has died," the word "Godlike" has not been
used, for no one knows what God is like.

"A dimension is missing in all aspects of our existence-
religion." Yet to Mr. Van Doren, God seemed a most real
entity and experience.

In discussing the idea of creativity in art, he said, "Much of
our problem in art comes from the desire to be original. No
man ever created anything. God did that."

Mr. Van Doren, like Keats, always emphasized the artist's
neet to present not subjective reactions, but an expression bey-
ond himself. "We can't know ourselves. Our job is not to try."

The personal experience of all the students who were with Mr.
Van Doren was as rewarding as were his lectures. Everyone
was compelled by his distinguished appearance combined with
his humility.

When he read his poetry, his love of the world was the domin-
ant impression. "Life itself, if understood, is wonderful," he
emphasized.

When Agnes Scott's 75th anniversary is considered in retro-
spect, the visit of Mark Van Doren the poet, the scholar, and the
man will be a highlight. B. A. H.

COLLEGE MARRIAGES

You Thought We Forgot?

Dear Editor:

There was a mistake that I
wish to acknowledge in my
last Tempo article. Claire Al-
len, a freshman, has brought it
to my attention that the Young
Conservative Club is beingLar-
med on campus through Rep.
Council rather than the Young
Republicans' Club.

This is to provide for a nuc-
leus of conservative thought
either Republican or Demo-
cratic.

takes we made, too.

The Editors

NEW YORK More than 90
per cent of couples who were
married while still in college
report that after 13 years their
marriages are happy, according
to a survey published in the
May issue of Redbook.

Questionnaires were sent out
to 100 women who were marr-
ied before they received their
undergraduate degree in 1950.
These questionnaires were fol-
lowed up by personal inter-
views. The results showed that
"after more than 13 years,
only four of the 100 women in
the study have been divorced-
and three of ttiem are remarr-
ied."

Today, according to Redbook
statistics, "there are about 40,
000 married coeds, 18, 19, 20
and 21 years old who attend
college full-time." Housing
units for married couples have
become routine construction
projects at many universities.

Two other studies by Antioch
College and Syracuse Univer-
sity confirm the Redbook find-
ings that on-campus marri-
ages are for the most part
successful.

One advantage of college
marriages that was pointed out
was the lack of social pres-
sures. While the couple are still
in school there are no status
symbols expected of them such
as new furniture, membership
in the country club, or owning
the latest model car. During
this pressure - free period the
young couple has an opportu-
nity to become acquainted with
and adjust to each other in a
relaxed atmosphere.

Some of the disadvantages of
college marriages listed were
missed opportunities, lack of
independence and the ever-pre-
sent money problems.

Marriage counselors and col-
lege deans of women who
were approached on the subject
agreed it was quite possible
for college marriages to be suc-
cessful "when both partners
finish college, when they have-
enough money and when both
partners are emotionally
mature." It was discovered that
when the wife had to drop out
of school before graduation to
help support her husband, a
certain amount of resentments

HUB- BUB

Last week on a beautiful, tru-
ly spring day, one of the first
in many days, my spirits were
high as I left my last class of
the day.

It was one of those days
when one wants to escape the
cares and strains of college
life, throw books and papers
away, and simply frolick and be
happy with one's friends.

Into the Hub I bounded, ex-
pecting to see people playing as
is customary on a day such as
this. But nol - I was greeted
by groups of Hub-ites glumly
reading their mail or sitting
with dazed looks in their eyes,
as if they had just been con-
fronted with terrible news.

Stopping to consider wheth-
er to chance having my mood
dashed by joining them or not,
I noticed that clutched in each
hand was what appeared to be an
orange envelope.

My curosity got the better of
my qualms, and I approached
the nearest group of seemingly
distraught people.

What had the mail brought that
could possibly effect so many
people? How could an envelope
cause so much distress? The
answer came all to soon. Wat-
son bills had arrived I

The orange envelopes were a
clever, new convenience for
making bill-paying easier for
customers, and typed on these
time saving devices was the
terse sentence: May we have
your remittance by return mail?

Gone were the blissful days of
buying on credit. No longer could
a Scottie walk in and charge
numerous articles with a clear
conscience.

How hard it would be to face
the proprietor until the enor-
mous debt accumulated over the
last six months or so had been
paid I

Underclassmen were be-
moaning that fact that from now
on when entering the store they
would have to crawl past the
back counter, duck behind the
rows of Lady Clairol dyes and
tints, and hide in the confines
of a booth to avoid detection
from the bookkeepers until the
bill had been paid.

Seniors had more weighty
consequences to ponder. Could
the school really hold back dip-
lomas until all bills had been
paid?

Misery consumed many of the
Hub-bites and was beginning to
get its clutches into this col-
umnist also.

All were faced with the di-
lemma of whether to write home
for money or to wait and let
the bill be sent home at the end
of the year when they would
be there to face the music.

As this question was being
discussed, I gathered my scat-
tered books and walked out into
what had seemed a beautiful
day. My mood was completely
squelched, and the only feeling
left was the dread of opening
my mailbox.

All hope of happiness had been
usurped from the day. "The
world is too much with us."

and disatisfactions resulted.

A partial explanation offered
for the success of the marri-

BOOK REVIEW

'Ted Kennedy's speech was
a Johnson speech with a Boston
accent, " says Jean Hoefer,
Young Democrat.

Beginning with Ted Kennedy's
reception Monday, May 4, the
Young Democrats on campus
have become quite immersed in
party politics during the last
two weeks. The reception mark-
ed the kick-off of intense Dem-
ocratic activity in the Atlanta
area.

Jean felt that Kennedy's speech
reasserted the idea that the
Democrats were the "doing"
party. She was impressed with
the vigorous tone of the party.

Jean especially emphasized
that though Southerners are di-
vided on President Johnson's
civil right's stand they seem
to respect his leadership. This
she thought was evidenced as
Kennedy spoke at the recep-
tion of Johnson's leadership.

Many Scotties were at the air-
port to greet President Johnson
when he arrived May 7. Portia
Morrison, sophomore, and Lin-
da Lou Colvard, freshman,
stood on coke boxes to get a bet-
ter view of the President
through the crowd.

Peggy Bell and Kathy John-
son, juniors, stood next to the
press pen and got a close-up
view of Johnson. All students
were infected by the tremen-
dous enthusiasm of the crowd.

This enthusiasm was again
emphasized by Jere Keenan,
junior, as she related the events

that emotion was high as John-

Chief".

Johnson, she thought, was
received quite well even though
he made a strong, broad state-
ment on civil rights.

pates that Scott will send dele-
gates to the Young Democratic
Convention in June.

At this moment Scott students
are affiliated with the Young
Democrats of Georgia. The par-
ent organization is the Young
Democrats of DeKalb County.

In June the Democratic party
organization of the state is to
be changed. We will become
affiliated with the Democratic
Party per se.

Harriet has made a personal
plea to all Scott students. Many
students are interested in can-
didates for the campaign, eith-
er Republican or Democratic,
but there is a lack of interest
in what each party stands for.

She feels that students should
make a decision and then get
out and work for the party of
their choice. Independents en-
joy the undeserved luxury of
voting between candidates which
the Young Democrats and Re-
publicans have worked hard for
to provide.

Let's see some more party
enthusiasm for both the Re-
publicans and Democrats on
this campus I

The independent college belongs to those who believe
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 indepen-
dent college abides as a citadel of the unfettered mind and
spirit.

Go/ding's "The Spire"

by Felicia Guest

There isn't a student here,
I'm sure, who doesn't know that
William Golding wrote a chil-
ling tale called Lord of the
Flies. There can't be many here
who don't know that Lord of
the Flies has as its message
the innate darkness of the hearts
of men.

Golding has published a new
book called The Spire. It is
another fable with another hard-
hitting and provocative mes
sage.

The S pire is the story of a
phenomenal architectural feat,
the building of the great stone
spire for the Cathedral at Sal-
isbury.

The fictional dean of the cath-
edral is a devoted and pious
man called Jocelin. The build-
ing of the spire is Jocelin's
vision and his obsession..

Sure of his righteous motives
and unfailing in his God-in-
spired drive, the dean ignores
the hard fact that the frail
walls of the cathedral cannot
possibly support a stone spire.

Jocelin has to fight his ves-
try, his parish, and even his
architect, for all these men see
the impossibility of raising a
spire over Salisbury.

Jovelin's spire is built,
though, and it stands. But the
man has won no victory, for in
building the spire he has had to
sacrifice his faith in divine in-
spiration and resort to the sor-
did dealings that comprise the
ways of this world.

As Golding weaves his fable of
construction he simultaneously
tears away all the trappings that
make up what men call their
"divine motivation."

Yet somehow this grim fable
is not totally pessimistic. After
all, the spire does stand. We
can only take this to mean that
Golding feels that human striv-
ing is not completely useless.

At least Golding leaves the
question of the existence of God
open. "God knows where God
may be," he says.

The Spire is provocative
reading. The power to capture
the reader's rapt attention to
meaning which is so strong in
Lord of the Flies is here in
this latest book.

The Spire may not live up to
the title of 'Golding's crowning
achievement," as it is adver-
tized to be. It is good reading,
though, and the topic is cer-
tainly a worthwhile one that
will never be treated fully
enough.

Golding's viewpoint is not a
very encouraging one, but it
is forceful and well wrought-
and worth pondering.

By the time the spire- a sym-
bol of all human effort-is con-
structed, man symbolized in
Jocelin has been striped away
until he is the embodiment of
helplessness.

Man is unable even to know if
God-the source of this divine
motivation-even exists. As
Golding sees it, man's only hope
is to admit this helplessness and
face up to it.

In The Spire Golding ela-
borates upon and sums up the
messages of all his earlier
works. Man goes wrong; he is
always helpless; and all his so-
cial systems are to no avail in
the long run.

CAMPUS COUNTDOWN

Kinsey Report In Miniature

By Marilyn Little

This quarter's Campus Count-
down has revealed several sur-
prising facts about boy-girl re-
lationships at Agnes Scott, the
principal one being that such re-
lationships do indeed exist.

The second big surprise is
the showing our Seniors have
made in the intra-collegiate
competition for such relation-
ships. The Seniors have set an
all-time record for "committ-
ment" this quarter.

To name just a few recent
winners: Mae Hall is engaged
to Tommy Boys, a KA at Tech,
and Lila Sheffield is engaged
to Slocum Kelly.

Anita Yount is planning a
June wedding with FredSturgis,
Tech DU; while Ann Pennebaker
and Phil Arnold _> are waiting
until August. Becky Reynolds
and Bruce Bryson, an ex-Sig-
ma Nu at Tech, are having a
fall wedding, as are Anne Shield
and Dr. Walter Bishop, Beck
Johnson and James McKae (Phi
Delt, Tech), and Diane Pulig-
nano and Warren Dawson (Sig-
ma Chi, Georgia).

Hopkins Dorm strikes again
with the engagements of Sandy
Shawen to VMI graduate Don
Kane, and of Suellen Wheless
to Edwin Jelks, Tech ATO grad-
uate. But Winship is still in
the running with the engagement
of Carol Wilson to Kay Owens
of Tech.

The Sophomores as usual are
in the lead in "pin-getting."
Blaine Garrison is wearing Jov
Chapman's Sigma Chi (Tech)
pin, while Judy Broadaway
wears an Emory dental fra-

ternity pin belonging to Jim
Weir.

Cecil West and Donna Wright
are bearers of Tech SAE pins:
Cecile's belongs to Chris Wren
and Donna's belongs to Craig
Martin.

Gail Savage moved out of town
to get the pin of Earl Sasser of
Duke. Bob Kay, Emory KA, is
now pinned to Laura Morgan,
while Marge Joyce wears Rick
Cromer's Tech Phi Delt pin.

Tech KA Gerald Pusser and
Betsy Dykes are pinned, as well
as Tech ATO Bob Allen and
Carol Sutherland.

Jane Davis andTechTKE Bob
DiMiceli are lavaliered, and
Smith is engaged to Dave
Thorpe, a Phi Kappa Sig atTech.

All of which goes to show that
in Spring a young man's fancy
certainly turns. . . although not
to Ann Beard, Sandy Tausig,
Lucia Bacot, Mary Lou Laird,

Speaking

by Sandy Prescoff

Internationally speaking,
things have been relatively quiet
this past week, judging from the
newspaper headlines.

Atlanta newspapers, at *"**st,
were too concerned witu the
visit from LBJ to de-
vote much space to the rest of
the world.

(The innumerable pictures
and human-interest stories on
Johnson scattered throughout
the Atlanta Journal indicated
a journalist's paradise in those
Forsyth street offices where
even, one must have contributed
their nose-for-news this past
week ).

Nevertheless, even though
Atlanta stopped for LBJ, the
other side of the Atlantic kept
right on with its usual antics.

Ironically layed-out parallel
to a story on the end of John-
son's visit to Atlanta was one
on Khruschev*s being 'wel-
comed warmly to Egypt."

Both trips were made in an
attempt to foster political unity.
Evidently, both trips proves
highly successful therein

It seems, though, that Nikica
has a bit more to worry about
than London. While the former
was being wined and dined
ostensibly in honor of the
completion of the Aswan High
Dam, Red China issued a state-
ment which intensified the real
purpose of his trips.

The Chinese suggested that
the world Communist con-
ference which Russia proposes
for this year be postponed at
least five years.

Such a move indicates the
depth of the split in the Com-
munist camp, as much as
Khruschev* s trip to Egypt itself
does.

In Egypt- as the first time
Khruschev set foot in Africa-
Russia is trying to offset the
gain the Chinese Cmmmunists
have already made there.

Though the warm reception
for Khruschev was reported as
far exceeding the one given
Chou En-lai last December,
Khruschev emphasized the
Russian-Chinese split evenfur-
ther by refering to the Soviet
policy of peaceful co-existence
on truly "Leninst - Marxist"
doctrine.

There seems to be no indica-
.tion that the split can be heal-
ed under the present leader-
ship of either country.

Even though the United Sta-
tes can take time out from
world affairs for a united "war
on poverty", the Commun-
ist ideological battle continues
steadily.

Though some Americans may
feel that such a controversy is
to our eventual advantage, the
present splitting of the Com-
munist world gives me the un-
comfortable feeling that two en-

Spring Dance Program
Received Enthusiastically

By

Sue Taliaferro

Gaines Auditorium was the
scene, Friday night, May 10,
of the highly successful pro-
gram presented by the Agnes
Scott Contemporary Dance
Group. The concert was divid-
ed into three suites, each re-
presenting a different theme.

The first suite was done to
folk music, with the 'Hoe Down"
number illustrating country
music and dance. Other folk
renditions were "Shenandoah,"
"St. James Infirmary," "Syl-
vie", a solo number by Katie
Shearer, "Blow the Man Down,"
and "Two Brothers," a folk
song of the Civil War.

The second suite consisted
of modern dances with abstract

Dr. Florene Duns tan, past

one, under any circumstances.

Nevertheless, our only
course seems to be to contin-
ue to take time out for LBJ's
visit or the like, and to concen-
trate on keeping our allies such
as France.

Such is best preparation for
the enevitable day in the next
decade or two when America
faces its biggest international
crisis, no small factor of which
will be the Russian-Chinese
ideological disagreement.

executed by the "Senior Trio";
Andy Pfaff, Katie Shearer, and
Diane David. The Cone Dance
showed four people moving in
their own worlds, oblivious to
others. Miss Kay Osborne's
Chair Dance brought the second
segment of the program to a
close.

"Chains of Time" was the
theme of the third suite, which
made use of a symbolic human
chain, and of the figures of
great conquerors of the ages.

The chain, representing the
people, moves in the back-
ground, while Caesar, Genghis
Khan, Napoleon, and Hitler
each performs. To end the con-
cert, the chain theme is resum-
ed, with the dancers' return

Art Association
Elects Mrs. Pepe

Mrs. Marie Pepe of the Agnes
Scott art department was elect-
ed vice-president of the South-
eastern College Art conference
at the annual meetings on April
23-25. This organization is a
regional branch of the Art As-
sociation of America.

As vice-president Mrs. Pepe
will work with Professor Les-
ter Walker, who was elected
president. Professor Walker
teaches at the University of
Georgia in Athens, which will
host the next meeting in April
of next year.

Besides the election of offi-
cers, the meeting at Chapel Hill,
North Carolina, featured read-
ings of papers on art history
and visits to art museums.
The members also worked on a
minimum standard for college
art departments in the South-
east.

Nan
Walker

Congratulations to Miss Os-
borne and the dance group!
The hours of practice and work
that you put in were recognized
and appreciated by all who saw
your program.

Also, I'd like to congratulate
the newly selected members of
Dolphin Club, especially the
fourteen freshmen.

These frosh swimmers are:
Fenton Allen, Caroline Amason,
Anne Diseker, Cookie Johnson,
Marty Ryan, Sally Barr, Louise
Watkins, Jane McCurdy, Lucy
Waters, Pat Gibbons, Ginny Yag-
er, Cheryl Dabbs, Barbara Dowd,
and Susan Johnson.

Two other students who were
chosen are Nancy Bland, a sopho-
more and Betsy Hammer, a jun-
ior.

If you came to the lower hock-
ey field last Friday, you saw
some exciting volleyball games.

The sophomores and the juni-
ors, who were tied for first,
battled out a three game match
with the sophomores winning.
Despite the efforts of the jun-
iors to hold the ranks firm, the
powerful punch serves of Ahrano
and Davidson broke through.

The second game was won
by the seniors who outmanuvered
the spunky freshman team. The
red bomber M.M. Mitchell and
the ballet-limbed B.E. Speerwere
at their best in these games.

The truism of S. Thorne as
the seniors left the field, reveal-
ed the antimated spirit of the vic-
tors. "Oh, we're wonderful I!"
M.M. Mitchell added the note of
a battle-worn senior when she
countered with her question,
"Where's the lemonade?"

Don't miss the last games of
the season next Friday at 4:00

when the juniors meet the fresh-
men, and the seniors meet the
sophomores.

To round out this day of acti-
vity, I dropped by the Vogt's
Stables where the Agnes Scott
horses how was held.

In the walk-trot class Kathy
Mason came in first with Ann
Sjogren as the second place win-
ner. First place was won in each
of the intermediate canter
classes by Carol Denton and Ann
Overs treet. *Cathe Centorbe and
Caroline Owens each won second
in these two groups.

The winner of the advanced
canter class was Ruth Nay lor,
with Barbie Worcester in second
place. The thrilling jumping class
was next on the program. First
place was won by Laura Sander-
son and second by Laura Morgan.

The final trophies of the pro-
gram were given to recognize
superior riding. Ruth Nay lor was
announced the most improved
rider, and Laura Sanderson the
best rider.

The spring horseshow was a
highlight to the spectators and
to the participants. Agnes Scott
certainly has a group of out-
standing riders. These students
and the Vogts are to be com-
mended for their fine job I

One last note-AA invites you
to use the ASC bikes often (please
save your Blue Horses and Sil-
ver Bears for more), and to sign
up friends on your hall for ca-
bin spend-the-nights and parties.

Above all enjoy yourselves
these last days of spring quar-
ter. Let's keep the sun shining
on campus especially as we ap-
proach the end of the year I

| ^Jlie Experiment j
| by Mary Womack |

There has been nothing like us

before.
Proud of our eccentricity,
We are whatever else we be
Uniquely the Class of Sixty four.

Ergo: In summing up our past,
We marvel at the bold intent
That juxtaposed the Hermes
group

With Status Quo Apollo's troupe,
And seemed to think that it

would last.
So, we conclude, someone was

bent

On having an experiment.

The prospect looked a little dim.
Oh, the equipment was the best.
But somehow the rumor went
around

That the theory behind it was

none too sound,
And although the experimenters

knew

Their job, it nonetheless was
true

That the plan was something of
a whim,

And we were, after all, a test
Conclusions being as yet un-
guessed.

So we were not too much per-
turbed

To find the elements would not
blend;

Lacking, perhaps, a catalyst,
But with no hint of what we
missed,

We looked apathetic, undisturb-
ed,

Watching our reputation tend
Toward some unknown, un-
Godly end.

What else could anyone expect
From an experimental class
But water battles in the halls,
And rioting that shook the walls;
Hermes' Hubbite oratory,
Apollo in the dormitory,
Muttering conservatism;
Democracy explored to schism;
Tradition battered blow by blow,
And a new academic low?
And that is just what came to
pass;

The gloomy prophets were cor-
rect.

But still, the experiment's ef-
fect-
Through four long years of
strife and stress,
Through days of talk and nights
of toil,

We have, from verge of revolu-
tion

Come, at least, to a kind of
solution;

Though never chemically com-
bined,

Now in our seniorhood we find
A bond that holds us side by
side

AnH close ro what we once de-
fied.

Perhaps it was our friction's
heat

That fused us But the thing's

complete,
The long experiment is done.
And now a new one has begun;
The whole wide world we'll soon

embroil
Then was it failure or success?
Let Agnes and the Future

guess.

'64 Class Gives
Scholarship

Laurie Oakes, senior class
president, announced Wednes-
day, May 27, that the class of
1964 has presented to Agnes
Scott as its class gift a scho-
larship for foreign students.

Since this class has had many
foreign students during its four
years here, the members
thought it fitting to start a
fund which will allow more stu-
dents in the future to have the
experience of education in the
United States and at Agnes Scott
in particular.

Farewell

So the Class of 1964 has gone. Enough has been said about
your individuality - your failure to "jell*'. You are an indivi-
dual class, as is every class which has left or is to leave these
cloistered walls.

You leave and go out into the world. We wish you luck and hap-
piness in your life to come.

You gladly leave the inconveniences of Agnes Scott: the polic-
ies which you rebel against, the campus attitudes with which
you differ. You leave with relief the long, hard hours of study
and worrying- cramming for your last exam.

From this day on you can smoke in your rooms, eat when you
want to, leave without signing out.

Throughout last week glad shouts of 'Tm through- for goodl"
have been heard all over the campus. You are through. You are
leaving- and. the incoming Class of 1968 can never take your
place.

These four years have passed quickly- your freshman year
with all of its excitement and anticipation must seem as if it
were yesterday. You leave behind many things which have been
precious to you.

You leave your friends. You are separated from your group.
You face the world alone- with your degree.

You know that your future life will be different from the one you
have found here. You prepare yourselves to face reality.

Some of you have decided to make the change- to be as others
are and to leave Agnes Scott behind. Others of you vow never to
lose what you have gained here- never to change from what you
are now. The decision is yours.

The in loco parentis which is Agnes Scott has sheltered you
from what is considered the real world; but in sheltering you,
the school has given you something also. From your years here
you have gained a quality - a perception- which is totally dif-
ferent from any gift another school could have given.

Here you have learned to see your friends as they really
are- to understand and to love. This perception- this aware-
ness of others- you will carry with you as you leave. It is per-
haps the only heritage which Agnes Scott can give.

Foreign Students Relate
Impressions Of Agnes Scott

by Diane Dixon

The two students from other
countries who are graduating
this year, Marguerite Ehrbar
and Eleanor Chiu, greatly in-
fluenced the choice of the sen-
ior gift, a scholarship fund
for students from abroad.

The two girls have been a vi-
tal part of our college commun-
ity in the years that they have
been here. From them the stu-
dents have been able to learn
about their countries and about
our own country.

Why did Eleanor and Mar-
guerite choose to come half-
way around the world to go to
school in the United States?
Their answer is "to get to
know the American people."

Living here in Decatur they
really have gotten to know many
people. Each girl on campus
has done her best to make
them feel at home.

Marguerite remembers that

when she was told that she
would be coming to Decatur,
Georgia she had never heard
of it.

Naturally she was apprehen-
sive about coming to a strange
country, but then she was flood-
ed with "wonderfully friendly"
letters from all the orientation
workers and even before she
came she felt that she really
belonged to the college.

Next year, instead of re-
turning home to Hong Kong,
Eleanor is going to Boston to
study medical technology. Mar-
guerite is going home to Zu-
rich, Switzerland.

What image of Agnes Scott
and of our country will they take
with them when they leave?

Both of them agree that they
will remember most the kind-
ness and understanding that
they have received from the
students and faculty.

HUB- BUB

Once a year the King Build-
er accepted two hundred ap-
prentices to come and work for
him. Each group of recruits was
required to erect, within four
years, a new building on the
palace grounds. The King em-
ployed excellent draftsmen,
carpenters and architects to
assist the students.

The appointees were always
very much alike. They came
from the surrounding villages
and were industrious and talen-
ted. Each group built its struc-
ture within the required time
and each was satisfactory.

One year the King decided
to select apprentices that were
not all alike. He selected them
from all over the world, each
was different- why some of
them did not even want to be
builders I

The teachers were astounded
when the novices appeared at the
palace. They were sure that
these people could not build a
suitable structure. The Palace
staff even went so far as to call
this group 'The King's Ex-
periment."

Soon after the apprentices
arrived they divided into little
groups. Each person had his
notch and the building was be-
gun.

Some of the students used li-
brary stacks and scholarly pap-
ers to build their edifice; oth-
ers used cigarette butts and
bridge cards. Some of the ap-
prentices just thought about the
building, and others did noth-
ing.

The teachers were very up-
set and went to the King. It
was rumored that some of these
students even wanted to change
the ancient statues of the pal-
ace. Imagine I

The Builder King smiled and
said nothing. He was even calm
when, after two years, some of
these apprentices quit and went
to work for a rival king in the
Tar Heel kingdom.

Near the end of the four years
the teachers were still dis-
traught. The apprentices would
not work together in the con-
ventional manner.

When the building was com-
pleted the King called together
all of the people of the King-
dom and showed them the work
of his "experiment." They were
amazed, for this was one of the
most handsome buildings ever
seen in the kingdom.

The teachers were stunned.
The King's "experiment" had
been a success!

The King was pleased - his
"experiment" had worked and
some of the students we re going
on to become master builders.
Maybe someday they would even
work as instructors in the pal-
ace.

The students now left the pal-
ace, but their magnificent
structure had proved that all
of the apprentices did not have
to be alike. And you know what,
I think that the King was rather
surprised at this too.

Now that the smoke has clear-

and you're all on your way tow-

look at the events of the past
hurried days.

On May 20th, the A.A. picnic

under way at 4:30. The student
team rallied their best efforts,
but they were outmatched by the
Parrish panthers and such stars

lius, and Mr. Chang.

During the picnic the specta-
tors ate to the rhythm of over-
head lobs and serves as they
viewed the finals of the Doubles

three set match the team of Lil
Harris and Georgia Gillis final-
ly bested their opponents Judy
Ahrano and Alice Davidson.
