lernaiiona u,
Speaking
by Sandy Prescott
"Welcome, 68!"
Admittedly, thi s is only an
echo which you freshmen hear
resounding from every lecture
and from almost every spot
on campus.
You may find yourself wish-
ing you weren't singled out so.
You will certainly spend the
next few weeks just trying to
find yourself. Period.
Letting you do this or help-
ing you, where possible, will
be the concern of every student
and professor at Agnes Scott.
It will not be many weeks be-
fore you do feel a part of this
school. Whether you will like
this feeling or not, you will
discover an inescapable identi-
fication with your college.
At least one Way, though, in
which the class of '68 will
remain distinctive is (ac-
cording to Look, Sept 22 is-
sue) that you are considered
more informed and better pre-
pared for the next four years
than any of your predecessors.
This label which some
1,255,000, and particularly
some 200 of you have earned,
will present a challenge to each
of you individually.
It is a challenge to stay in-
formed and prepared. Not only
during your college years, but
throughout life as well.
The International Relations
Club here on campus could be an
enormous help in this respect.
With a criticism of Democra-
tic foreign policy becoming
probably the main issue in the
Republican campaign, it will
be almost impossible to forget
the rest of the world during the
next few weeks.
Yet thinking of tomorrow's
quiz, yesterday's lectures, and
tonight's date, you will be
finding the almost- impossible a
pret-ty easy thing.
Internationally speaking, this
past summer could have seem-
ed rather quiet especially with
the mass TV coverage and in-
terest in the party conventions.
But the following events did
no weak heart any good:
(1) a Vietnamese coup, an
increase of American troops in
that area, an emergency re-
port-to-the-nation by the Pre-
sident on
(2) Fidel Castro's reported
overtures to the United States
which are being ignored by our
government, the breaking of
diplomatic relations with Cuba
by every country in the
OAS (except Mexico),
(3) The United Nations step-
ping in to settle the Cyprus
mess, and finding it a very dif-
ficult job, indeed,
(4) The shooting of a young
East German refugee in Berlin
as he tried to escape over the
wall (an American soldier, him-
self a refugee, was considered
a hero in defending the boy),
a small article in the middle
of the paper last week which
made note of the redefectors
to East Germany (they are
now wined and dined and given
preferential treatment rather
than considered as criminals

Soon after their arrival at
Agnes Scott each pair of fresh-

greater Atlanta area who has
expressed a desire to take part
in the sponsor program.
The sponsors will meet their
sponsorees early in the fall and
invite them for a special oc-
casion off campus the theater,
dinner in the sponsor's home,
shopping, church, or possibly
a drive in the Decatur-Atlanta

Alumnae sponsors will be
available to their students
all year, and after the initial
meeting sponsorees should feel
free to call on their sponsors
at any time.

Such stories as these are in-

Even in the places where there
is no actual fighting, the slight-
est pressure more or the

parties concerned would seem
like a light to a powder keg.

mistic. Still, at least be aware
of what could happen there be-

BOOK REVIEW
For Political Malaise:
Go Back To Grass Roots
by Felicia Gues f
"Hie central problem for de-
mocracy and for modern civi-
lization is to preserve humanis-
tic values and the possibility
of freedom for the individual in
a world now driven by the
sovereign powers of science
and technology," Charles Fran-
kel says.
In T he Democratic Prospect
he offers his suggestions
sometimes concrete, usually
abstract for moving toward a
solution. These suggestions are
important to us in this college
community because Frankel
says, "I am interested in the
possibilities of the present."
So are we.
Frankel leads his readers
through chapter after chapter
of format forecasts, clarifica-
tion of terminology, a history
of democracy, and even an ex-
planation of the title before he
even hints at his suggestions
for "the present's possibi-
lities."
Even if the author had
left it at that, the book would
be worth reading. The two
camps are already entrenched
at Scott and the like-minded
are aligning; a lucid and rela-
tively objective look at the rud-
iments and evolution of the de-
mocratic battlefield is pertin-
ent. In the case of The De-
mocratic Prospect it is also en-
lightening.
Frankel leaves nothing to be
assumed. He defines, exempli-
fies, fills in the history, and
explains the present status of
each aspect of democracy with
which he deals. His material is
organized and readable.
His democracy leaves out
flag-waving and Little Rock. It
is the democracy of human cap-
ability and human responsibi-
lity. He is concerned that the
actual democratic facts of life
fall short of our democratic
ideals.
The author compartmenta-
lizes democracy's problems.
He says that our basic tenet
of government by the consent
of the governed has lost its
effectiveness due to the compl-
exities of our technological so-
ciety. He adds that the average
citizen feels that politically he
doesn't count. Frankel suggests
more manageable dimensions
for government and more lo-
calized control over immediate
and personal matters.
Our tradition of an open soc-
iety, he says, has been weak-
ened by a public that no
longer upholds its end of the
bargain; it is no longer a re-
sponsive and responsible aud-
ience for judging governmental
affairs.
Frankel blames a below-par
presentation of issues and the
public's lack of a working know-
ledge of science and scientific
terminology for this weak-
ness. He suggests deliberately
planned programs to teach those
in high schools, college, and
adults what they need to know
about science. He suggests a
better management of the mass
media providing more instruc-
tive and enlightening program s.
The struggle to preserve
individual and personal auto-
nomy in an industrialized cli-
mate is explored in depth in
Frankel' s book. He holds a view
here that is contrary to the
popularly held opinion; he says
that an industrialized and tech-
nological society offers the in-
dividual more instead of less
variety in his working life.
He takes this stand because
he looks at indistrialization in
the light of its effects on man
as a social animal. The indi-
vidual's relationships with fel-
low workers, he says, are so-
cial and varied in nature.
Frankel is very much the
philosopher, but some of his
conclusions about the democra-
tic prospect in the closing chap-
ters seem to be more sen-
timent that theory.
His suggestions for a resp-
onsible government begin at

This Is Scott2
Dear Newcomers,
We hope you aren't sorry you missed the premieres of the new
T. V. shows this week-end! Probably, your reaction to orient-
ation at Agnes Scott is not so bleak But you may already have
fallen victim to a fairly common 'bug' attacking new students
unawares during orientation and throughout their first years.
A rough pathological tag for it might be " This is Scott!
itis Symptoms vary from mild puzzled and uneasy looks to
chronic disappointment.
Underlying cause is probably an Agnes Scott of every day
reality that is somewhat different from expectation, imagina-
tion, and long anticipation.
Place and time of exposure is probably some moment of uni-
queness in the bustle of early days an unexpected, surprising,
or frustrating situation: important decisions, a fallible spon-
sor, confusion, loneliness, doubt, challenged statements, a Gold-
water roommate who knows what she's talking about, a C!
Diagnosis by new students themselves is usually negative,
and thus mistaken!
New students faced with unique, question-raising situations
are in perfect academic and psychological "health" by this safe
and valuable exposure to perhaps the chief value of college
its uniqueness and challenge as a four-year experience and chal-
lenge in your life.
Therefore, diagnosis of "This is Scott! itis" by new students
should be positive.
Puzzled looks and disappointment should be lively, "participa-
tive" interest in Scott's unique situations, which provide a sti-
mulating, changed environment from home or high school.
If the orientation program has spread this "bug" by seeking
out and presenting the many and varied phases of college and
Scott in particular, we've been admirably mischievous and annoy-
ing.
We hope it's "positively" catching and offsets apathy and
blase attitudes.
Agnes Scott should be different, stimulating and unique.
It is not meant to be a sedative and soft bed for fours years
exactly like your last four.
It has been our goal in orientation to preview this uniqueness
and point out its value.
JO PATTERSON
Orientation Chairman
IdeaLism Vs. Realism
"What you don't know don't hurt you, for it ain't real. They
called that Idealism in my book I had when I was in college, and
after I got hold of that principle I became an Idealist. . . If
you are an Idealist it does not matter what you do or what goes
on around von because it isn't real anyway."
( All The Kind's Men )
Idealism is considered by many to be the attitude which one
should develop in college. But the idealism of which Robert
Penn Warren speaks is certainly not a commendable attitude.
College life is different, and its atmosphere does tend to pro-
mote this kind of idealism. The student, encouraged to think
abstractly, begins to lead an abstract life.
She tends to restrict her thought to academics and life at Agnes
Scott - and to forget the world (or pretend that it just isn't
there).
It is easy to ignore something so unpleasant as the world -
if you are given justification in Idealism.
Agnes ^ Scott is not the world. It is not even a "microcosmic
society." In "sheltering' the student, Agnes Scott provides
an excellent atmosphere for you and individual growth.
But the emphasis here is often wrongly placed on the value of
this atmosphere.
The peciliar kind of inner life which the student lives here is
natural for some- and most unnatural for Others. An individual's
direction in life is not always to be found in the institution it-
self.
Let the college and the contacts which you may find here guide
you. Let them - if possible - form a foundation for your own in-
dividual life and thought.
But don't always champion the cause of abstract idealism-
it can be wrong.

The Scottie
Questionnaire
What's On Your Mind?
Profile Has The Answers
Every year freshmen have
questions. Naturally. Some-
times these questions are never
answered. This week The Pro-
file features an expose of
freshman questions. We also
tried to answer them. Let it
be known now that these are
bonafide questions. They really
asked them.
Question: Do you send all
clothes to the college laundry
or just sheets and towels?
Answer: Do you love your
clothes?
Question: How can I get along
wth upperclassmen?
Answer: Be yourself and
ignore them. They're just trying
to show off anyhow.
Question: Are they going to
tear down the Hub?
Answer: Eventually. The Hub
will be razed within the next
few years as a part of the
Development Program.
Question: Where can I signup
for rush parties?
Answer: See Adelia McNair
or your nearest Junior Spon-
sor.
Question: Does the food stay
this good all year?
Answer: It will retain the
same quality, yes.
Question : Saturday night two
upperclassmen on my hall lock-
ed a third in the phone booth.
Is this an Agnes Scott tradi-
tion?
Answer : No.
Question: Does the adminis-
tration really mind if you set
your hair in beer?
Answer: Perhaps you should
ask the administration.
Question: Why can* t you
smoke in your room?
Answer: Some people don't
smoke, you know. Waking up to
the smell of cigarettes is odi-
ous (or, if you prefer, odorous).
Question: ' Is everybody as
smart as Dr. Alston thinks they
are?
Answer: Everybody thinks
they are. If you don't think you
are, see the Consulting Psy-
chiatrist.
Question : What is the Nifty-
Fifty?
Answer: The Nifty-Fifty is a
group of upperclassmen who
were jealous of the Dirty Thirty
last year.
Question: What is the Dirty
Thirty?
Ans wer: You'll never know.
Question: What is the dif-
ference between Dean Kline
and Miss Scandrett?
Answer: M is s Scandrett is a
woman; therefore she is Deanof
Women. Dean Kline is a man;
therefore he is Dean of the
Faculty.
Question: How do you get on
the newspaper staff?
Answer: An excellent ques-
tion. We commend you. Fresh-
men must wait until winter
quarter to join the staff, but
you may sit in on meetings:
Wednesday nights at 6:45 in the
Pub.
Question: What about the lit-
erary magazine?
Answ e r :^ Contributions are
placed in the Aurora box in the
Mail Room. Authors of pub-
lished material are automat-
ically on the staff.
Question: W hen in desperate
need, how does one locate a
night watchman?
Answer: 1. Secure a whistle
from a member of the Dean's
Staff;
2. Walk to the back steps of
Main;
3. Blow.

Question : Are you really
going to publish these?
Answer: Yes.
These are the questions
freshmen are asking. The ans-
wers, though they may not al-
ways be correct, are the ones
an upperclassman might give.
But, you know, we're only show-
ing off. We're really sort
of nice.
By
Linda
Kay
Hudson
As the end of summer all-too-
suddenly fuses with the begin-
ning of fall, nostalgia for the by-
gone days of "wine and roses"
merges with anticipation and
excitement, harbingers of a new
school year. W ith these mixed
emotions Agnes Scott students
hit the campus.
For returning students there
is the initial excitement of see-
ing old frields, catching up on
the summer's gossip, making or
remaking contacts at nearby
men's schools, and getting back
into the academic whirl.
Freshmen look forward to the
commencement of a new mile-
stone in their lives.
While trying to cling to the al-
ready fading memories of the
summer and the people we left
behind, we assume our respec-
tive places on campus. And for
all there is the expectation of a
good year.
Plans have been made for
this 76th session of Agnes
Scott. It's going to be a hectic
as well as a good, year.
In the midst of all the hustle
and bustle of campus life, Scot-
ties are going to need a place
to relax, meet with their fri-
ends, and play. And what bet-
ter place can there be than the
Hub?
The Hub is well-named, as
you freshmen will soon find. Not
only is it centrally located on
campus, but it is also the center
of campus life.
Informal committee meet-
ings, discussion groups,
gatherings with faculty mem-
bers, occasionally classes, and
always campus parties are
held in the Hub.
But the Hub's main use is as
an everyday meeting place for
scattered Scotties. A hint for
freshmen (and for upperclass-
men who aren't in the know)-
the Hub is the best place on
campus to get to know people
outside your dorm.
This year, more than ever
before, the Hub is going to be
"the place" on campus. Social
Council and Athletic Associa-
tion, two important groups
which have been formulating
big things for Scotties since
Spring Quarter of last year, are
going to keep the Hub swing-
ing.
This weekend, in fact, marks
the beginning of these Boards'
bimonthly Hub parties. This
month's will be held on the
next two Saturday nights after
the Social Council movies.
For all of us who plan to be
on campus, these movies and
parties will really be fun; so
let's all turn out for them.
During the following months
Hub parties will be cleverly
planned on school nights as
pleasant study interrupters and
a good excuse for getting to-
gether with friends.
For those of you who have
not yet experienced a Hub
party- expect lots of singing,
screaming, bridge-playing,
smoking, drinking (cokes, of
course), donut-eating, and fun.
Let's get together and socia-
lize. As one freshman said to
me, "We plan to put the "u"
back in Hub." See you in the
Hub?

Flicks Feature Burton,
Concert Series Begins
by Ann Roberts
Movies I Theatre! Symphony!
Opera! Art! The South' s cultural
center, of which you will soon
be very much a part, offers
many forms of all these. Let
me introduce you to a few.
Of course, the most obvious
date activity is a movie. And
this is a choice time for movie-
going, especially for girls.
Richard Burton is available in
two excellent performances
in "Night of the Iguana" with
Ava Gardner and Deborah Kerr,
and in "Becket" with Peter O*
Toole.
Also, Burton's "Hamlet"
will be shown four times this
week. Comedy offerings in-
clude "Shot in the Dark" and
"The World of Henry Orient,"
both starring Peter Sellars.
"Mamie," "Of Human Bond-
age," and "I'd Rather Be Rich"
are among the other shows play-
ing.
If you welcome the change to
legitimate theatre, you will wel-
come Atlanta, which now boasts
four theatres. The oldest, Thea-
tre Atlanta, starts its season
in October.
The Pocket Theatre will in-
clude "Streetcar Named De-
sire" and "Arsenic and Old
Lace" in this, its first full
season.
The Hideaway Playhouse will
soon resume production, and

petoire includes 'The Alche-
mist," an excellent production
of "Hamlet," and Laurence Oli-
ver's film of "Henry V". "Pe-
ter Pan" is but one of the
plays scheduled for its new sea-
son.
For the music lover, Atlanta
offers both local and imported
talent. The Atlanta Symphony
season includes its own per-
formers, plus opera, ballet,
and soloists.
A group of Irish pipers,
dancers, and drummers, and the
Berlin Philharmonic are among
the productions schedules for
the Marvin McDonald series.
And "Oliver," "Holiday on
Ice," and Ferrante and Teic-
her are coming through Fa-
mous Artists. More informa-
tion on these and other events
will be available on October
1, when tickets will be sold.
Of course, Metropolitan
Opera will be here for its
usual week in May. And choral
performances are often avail-
able in many churches.
Art exhibits are frequent and
good. There are many private
showings and the Art Associa^
tion has an excellent collection.
And no one, art lover or not,
should miss the Piedmont Park
open-air exhibit in the spring.
It, like all these other amuse-
ments, is an experience, a
worthwhile one.
I hope they will all be plea-
sant and enlightening, and that
you will soon be taking full ad-
vantage of all the opportunities
which now are yours.

the individual level with this:
It is the professional duty of
the expert to separate his
special competence and his spe-
cial preference. He is also
duty-bound to express both of
these feelings, separately, of
course. But he didn't say how
to go about this revolution of
experts.
The social suggestions for a
responsible government seem
to be equally unattainable.
Frankel's understanding of de-
mocracy, its pitfalls, mach-
inations, and problems are well
thought out and basically sound
But it is disappointing that
he is such a good analyst
and such a bad prophet.
He keeps saying that we
should all go back to the "grass
roots" and initiate reforms
for automony, responsibi-
lity, and ethical health. But he
has precious few concrete sug-
gestions for getting this done.
The Democratic Prospect
is easy reading but it isn't
easy thinking. Frankel neces-
sarily deal s with elemental
paradoxes. But if the text is
complex and abstract it is be-
cause the issue is complex and
abstract. Maybe nobody on
earth has any practical sug-
gestions.
At any rate it is a credit to
his understanding and writing
ability that readers can close
the book feeling that at least
they now see democratic as-
pects in better perspective.

could see the machine with

feel its power. But we didn't
know how to stop it. I don't

A.A. Welcomes Frosh
Makes Plans For Year
A hearty hello from Athletic
Association! We're glad you're
here to enjoy the varied sports
and activities we have planned
for this year.
Things got off to a good start
last Sunday with the A. A.
bus tour of Atlanta. Thanks to
all who went and made the tour
a success, and especially to our
capable guides for their fine
job.
We're on the move at Agnes
Scott. During the summer the
hockey field was resurfaced.
The grass is green and ready
for play after a summer of
watering with the new sprinkler.
The tennis courts are also in
fine shape. The new surfaces
are excellent, and the additional
court will increase our playing
facilities. Come down and ad-
mire these summer improve-
ments with us.
A. A. is happy to welcome
our new adviser Miss Beverly
Cox from Woman's College of
Georgia in Milledgeville. She
worked with the Athletic Board
there so she'll have many new
ideas to contribute to our pro-
gram. Let's welcome Miss Cox
to our campus.
The latest bulletin on A. A.
blazers is out. Those sung-
over, sought-out essentials to
campus wear are here and on
sale now. So come down to the
gym today from 11:00 until
4:30 to be fitted- and bring a
friend along.

This is only the beginning of
the many fun things that are
underway for the quarter. The
sports outlook promises to be
bigger and better and livelier
than ever before.
You'll be hearing from your
A. A. board members through-
out the year-from the first
Black Cat cheer in the fall to
the last athletic award at our
campus picnic in the spring.
We're all set to begin our
plans for '64-65. But the es-
sential ingredient for a suc-
cessful program is you- your

TROPHY
The Class Scholarship Trophy
was established by the Mortar
at Athens; Jerusalem, Jordan;
Jerusalem, Israel; Cairo; and
Rome for varying lengths of
time.
At each of these cities,
Dr. Garber was associated with
an institution, usually Ameri-
can and had the opportunity to
travel from his base of study
to the actual sites concern-
ed in that study.
Dr. Garber describes his
trip as "the culmination of
many things I've been work-
ing on through the years.
Having visited the Mediter-
anean world twice before
lone, he had promised himself
to return with his family
to share the places and the
friends.
In order to make possible
this type travel for five people,
he bought a British-made car-
avan, or camper, which provid-
ed ample sleeping and storage
space. With this, the family
camped through Europe when-
ever possible, sometimes in
authorized spots, more often
wherever they received per-
mission. "We never found any-
one to be inhospitable," re-
members Dr. Garber.
Dr. Garber had another such
opportunity before, when he
lived and studied in the Old
Testament world. This exper-
ience resulted in his build-
ing the model of the Temple
on display in 203 Buttrick.
Board Chapter of 1956-57. The
Trophy is awarded to the class
which for the past session has
earned an academic average
which is highest in relation to
the three preceeding classes of
that level.
The Trophy is awarded this
year to the Class of 1966 (pres-
ent junior class) on the basis
of their academic records as
sophomores.

Foreign Policy
Dean Rusk
United States Secretary Of State
The number-one objective of our foreign policy is, in the words
of the preamble to our Constitution, to "secure the Blessing of
Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity." Its primary concern is
the safety of our nation and its way of life.
We can be safe only if our environment is safe. And today the
environment which we must try to make and keep safe is no longer
local, or regional, or hemispheric it is worldwide. It includes all
the land and the waters and the air of the earth and reaches as
far out into space as man can maintain instruments capable of af-
fecting life on earth.
Foreign policy is as close to every citizen as the taxes he pays
to support this great struggle for freedommore than $300
per year for every man, woman, and child in the United States. It
is as close as his job or the price he gets for his farm products. It
is as close to every citizen as his own dreams for the future.
But the world will remain extremely dangerous until the Com-
munists abandon their ambitions for their kind of world revolu-
tion and until critical political problems are solved, such as the di-
vision of Germany and Berlin, the aggression against South Viet-
Nam, and the use of Cuba as a base for undermining the indepen-
dent nations of Latin America.
And the world will remain extremely dangerous until armaments,
especially the superweapons, are brought under control.
We are the most powerful nation the world has ever known -
militarily, economically, in every material way. And despite all
that has been written about the Soviets' rate of growth, our income,
both national and per capita, has increased more than the Soviets'
in the last 12 years. The Communist world as a world as a whole
is experiencing difficulties in production, especially in food produc-
tion. And the standard of living in Red China is lower now than
it was before the "great leap" backward began in 1958.
The survival of man is no longer a matter merely for philoso-
phical speculation; it is an operational problem for governments
and is involved in their daily decisions. The first visceral reactions
to the day's news could lead to catastrophe. Prudence requires
the highest intelligence and the deepest wisdom. We do not improve
upon the ancient Romans if we turn aside from consulting the en-
trails of geese merely to consult our own. We need wisdom-
thoughtful, prayerful, prudent, dedicated wisdom to lead man
through these problems in the next decades in front of us.
A Chance To Serve
Have you ever settled an argument among four indignant 6-
year-olds over which two could walk beside you first?
Or seen the glow of pride on a Negro fifth grader's face as you
helped him master the ' five times" of the multiplication tables?
Or discussed her anxieties with a teen-aged lawbreaker as
you taught her to bake a pie?
Such unsettling experiences are common for Agnes Scott students
who take part in the program of service projects sponsored by
the college's Christian Association.
Every week some 75 girls on campus share part of an after-
noon with others. They go into the heart of Atlanta's slums, to
orphanages, to day nurseries, to Girl Scout troops, to hospitals,
and to other institutions.' Their visits are physically and emotio-
nally exhausting, but inevitably satisfying.
It is indeed sad that so many of us can sit in our rooms and
complain about the unreality of the closed and sheltered college
community when we reject the plea of the "outside world" to visit
and learn about it. It is sad too that we can spend so much time
studying and discussing the "human condition,' and decrying the
lack of communication among peoples when we dismiss the chance
to learn firsthand^ about others.
Next weeK manes a period of special emphasis of Christian
Association programs. When the opportunity to participate in ser-
vice projects is offered, we would hope the challenge would be
met with interest and enthusiasm by the student body.

Black Cat: How It Began
And What It Has In '64
Perk-up, Freshmen! Your
Black . Cat is fast approaching.
October 16 is a red-letter
day for the Agnes Scott cam-
pus, a day which marks the
end of official orientation
and the college community's of-
ficial welcome to you at the
Black Cat production as full-
fledged Agnes Scott Students.
Black Cat is an old tradition
which is very meaningful to the
Agnes Scott community and, as
the freshmen will find, rightly
so.
Black Cat Day cams into its
primitive state of being in 1915
thanks to Dr. Mary Sweet, the
college physician. The kind-
hearted doctor felt that the haz-
ing ot Ireshmen by sophomores
was bad for both the phy-
sical and mental health of the
freshmen, and consequently
suggested that this tortu-
ous custom be replaced by
gooa-naturea competition be-
tween the classes.
The competition took the
form of two dramatic presen-
tations with the juniors and sen-
iors assisting their sister
cla r es. Because of Dr. Sweet's
lo of cats, the produc-
tion came to be known as
Black Cat.
As this production continued
through the years it became
more and more elaborate and
competitive. Finally in 1950
it reached its second evolut-
ionary stage.
In this year it was decided
that instead of having com-
petition between just the fresh-
men and sophomores, all four
classes would participate in
Black Cat.
Each class was to give an
original skit and to make up a
school song with an original
tune.
From this point growth was
rapid. In fact, now a Broad-
way musical would have a hard
time trying to compete. There
are sixteen black cats who sing
and dance original songs and
dances, one unified skit featur-
ing a mulitude of actresses
from three classes, and the
best of the freshman talent.
Last year's Cats pose on the Gym
stage to welcome the new freshmen and
a new year.
On the day of the production
there is much going on. This
"much" includes the discovery
of the freshman mascot, the
showing off for the first time
of the year of Dennis Made-
line, and Peter Pan, hockey
games, a picnic, spirited class
singing, the announcement of
the winner of the song compe-
tition, and the discovery of
the 1965 school song.
Black Cat Day is sponsored
by Mortar Board. This year's
Black Cat chairman is Debbie
Potts. Debbie will produce and
direct the production in colla-
boration with Mary Lowndes
Smith, president of Mortar Bo-
ard.
The Black Cat script com-
mittee includes Marilyn Little,
Poppy Wilson, Felicia Guest,
Lynn Wilkins, and Kathy Stubbs.
Carol Sutton is in charge of
music and Anne Rogers of cho-
reography.
The black cats include sen-
iors Rita Bennett, Kay Cook,
Marge Joyce, and Lelia Taylor.
Representing the juniors are
Kay Roseberry, Lucy Scoville,
Bobbie Trammel, and Cecile
West.

Year Of Decision
We've all heard the words so much they've almost lost their
meaning. If they ever do, we're in trouble.
This year, 1964, is a year of decision.
For the first time in recent history, we are choosing not just
a President, but a philosophy. Maybe a way of life.
The line between the liberal and conservative points of view
has suddenly materialized. No longer are we choosing between
degrees of more or less the same basic theory. We are choosing
the theory itself.
It is imperative that we understand these theories.
Do we know what the ADA is? Hubert Humphrey is a founder.
Do we go along with the views expressed in Conscience of a
Conservative and None Dare Call It Treason? Goldwater backers
are pushing their sale.
Have we read any editorials lately? The Atlanta Constitution
presents a liberal point of view, while The Atlanta Times, Atlan-
ta's new conservative paper, presents that view.
As a matter of fact, do we fully understand the terms them-
selves liberal, conservative?
There's no time to waste. We must be informed. We must sup-
port the philosophy of our choice.
If we really believe one is true, the other must necessarily seem
false, even dangerous to us.
Our future, or our lack of it, could depend on a wise choice
in November.
are Sophomore cats. Four cats
from the Freshman Class were
selected Tuesday night.
Also selected on Tuesday
night were the Freshman cheer-
leaders .
Freshman talent try-outs will
be held on Thursday at 7 p.m.
in Gaines.
Although the theme of this
year's skit is being kept a com-
plete secret, Debbie Potts let
slip one important fact when
she said, 'This year's produc-
tion will be a drastic inno-
vation."
Does this mean a new evol-
utionary stage for Black Cat?
We'll be anxiously awaiting
October 16 to see.
Emory M.A.T.
Group Includes
Three Alumnae
When school opens in the At-
lanta (Georgia) area this year
48 new "teacher-scholars" will
greet their pupils for the first
time. They are all enrolled
in the Internship Master of
Arts in Teaching Program at
Emory University. Among them
are Mary Agnes Anderson of
Griffin, Ga., Juanita McCan-
less of Nashville, Tenn. and
Mary Miller Womack of High
Point, N. C, recent graduates
of Agnes Scott.
This program, initiated in
1963 under a Ford Foundation
grant, selected highly qualified
college graduates who desire
to prepare for elementary or
high school teaching. During a
year of intensive study the M. A.
T. Interns take advanced cour-
ses in their major fields, study
teaching methods and educa-
tional theory, and spend one
semester in a full-time teaching
internship.
Emory officials report that
increasingly large numbers of
college students are expressing
interest in this program which
allows them to earn a teaching
certificate and a master's de-
gree simultaneously.
M.A.T. Interns receive a be-
ginning teacher's salary during
their semester of teaching in
addition to special scholarships
made possible by the Ford
Foundation grant.

"Iguana" Characters
By Linda Clinard
Tennessee Williams' mood
play, The Night of the Iguana,
is a powerful and sympath-
etic dramatic presentation of
the meaning of human weak-
ness and reserve strength.
Life's victims can tempor-
arily overcome, or at least
endure, their desperation.
One's personal "spook" can
be held at bay by panic-fight-
ing weapons such as drink,
diversions, and one- night com-
munications between people
whose emotional capital has
been overdrawn.
The screen production of the
play, now being shown at the
Capri in Atlanta, is extremely
well done under the direction
of John Huston.
Williams' three act play must
necessarily be extended in set-
ting as well as in action.
Somehow the power and mood
of the play are not lost.
Social Council Plans
Mixers, Discussions
By Libby McGeachy
During the Student Govern-
ment Fall Retreat, the Social
Council of Agnes Scott com-
pleted tentative plans for its
activities during the coming
months.
As in past years, Social
Council will sponsor several
movies to be shown in Camp-
bell Hall on Saturday nights.
The second of its series of
popular movies will be shown
October 3, with a party in the
Hub following the movie.
October 31 is the tentative
date for the first Freshman
Mixer which Social Council
will give. Fraternities from
Tech and Emory will be invit-
ed to attend.
Three new activities plan-
ned for fall are a party in the
Hub on the night of the Presi-
dential Election, a Bingo
party, and a seated meal to
be held in connection with the
celebration of Thanksgiving on
Tuesday night, November 24.
During the Winter Quarter,
Social Council is planning two
Fireside Chats for the student
body on the topics of morality
and marriage.
While the main event of the
Winter Quarter will be the an-
nual dance sponsored by A. A.
and Social Council, there will
also be a Bridge party in Jan-
uary and a second "mixer" in
February.
Although there will not be a
specific week of "Social Em-
phasis" in the Spring Quarter,
Social Council will sponsor
a Fashion Show and a discus-
sion on the proper techniques
of make - up during the first
few weeks of the quarter.
A letter has been sent to
Glamor Magazine asking about
the possibility oi Agnes Scott's
entering a contestant in the
magazine's Best Dressed Col-
lege Girl competition. It is hop-
ed that Agnes Scott will have an
entry in the contest this year.
In addition to the parties and
activities planned, Social Coun-
cil will write articles in The
Profile throughout the year
on such subjects as furniture,
new hairstyles, and etiquette.

hall seconds, ar are you al-
ready turning your head when
you pass by that mirror in the
hall?
In either case or just
for fu n, why not come out for
our first fall sport, hockey?
No, it's not played on horses,
and actually statistics prove
that it's safer than football.
So all's to gain-good exer-
cise, new friendships, and re-
laxing enjoyment.
At the general hockey meeting
Monday Betsy Hamner, A. A.
manager, announced the plans
and class managers for the
year.
Practices will begin soon
for that all-important, game of
games on Black Cat which will
open our hockey season.
Another activity which is both
therapeutic and fun is bike rid-
ing. Each year A. A. gets
campus bikes with those Blue
Horse and Silver Bear coupons
which you add to the hall col-
lection.
Come to the basement of
Campbell Hall to enjoy the
bikes, and do your part to help
us get more.
The doughnut season at Scott
got off to its first official
start at the A. A. open house
last Sunday at the cabin. The
report was that the doughnuts
outnumbered the students and
won by a majority of three to
one.
But the students were not
to be undone and emerged with
a happy, well-fed look.
We're glad for those of you
who came, and we welcome all
the campus to come down to the
Roger's A. A. cabin to enjoy
a rustic, "removed*' atmos-
phere for get-togethers and
parties.
Contact Poppy Wilson,
cabin manager, when you've
made your plans.
So here are some tangible
suggestions as to how you
can find that exhiliration in
the day to day life at Scott.

Bunk is a shortened form

Jnt ernaiiona u,
Speaking
by Sandy Prescott
While the President of the
United States is busy touring
about his country in order to
insure his re-election, his
counterpart in France travels
beyond national borders for the
same purpose.
Time
magazine
dubs
Charles DeGaulle, "le grand
voyageur" as he strides over
18,000 miles of South America
for about 30 days.
The purpose of such an ex-
tended trip by the 73-year old
French President is ostensi-
bly to "reactivate and reinvi-
gorate" French relations with
Latin America.
W hy this becomes so impor-
tant now is not very obvious.
Since France's decline after
W orld W ar II, DeGaulle has kept
most of his stabs at pres-
tige confined to the European
continent.
This is probably why le grand
homme must now seek a new
battle field. He could not have
as unobtrusively made a simi-
lar trip around Europe* there
would have to have been a too
urgent reason for that.
During his Latin American
tour and with fresh material,
DeGaulle can highlight the depth
and greatness of a country many
people tend to take for grant-
ed.
If he weathers the physical
strain of his tour, he will also
highlight the same about him-
self something else some
people tend to take for gran-
ted.
Evidently, DeGaulle hopes the
French citizens will decide they
still cannot get along so well
without as they can with their
revered leader of over two
decades.
Atlanta Stadium: Football Field
Atlanta Stadium: Baseball Field
Atlanta In The '70'$:
First, A New Stadium
by Sandy Prescott
(Editor's note: This is the tirst
in a series of three articles to
be written on Atlanta: A Growing
City.).
Anyone not a native of the
''Gateway to the South" may
have been surprised at Mayor
Allen's mention of Atlanta's
three major projects for the
next few years.
The fact that Atlanta does
not support a culture center,
a major althletic club, or a
decent city auditorium has long
been a strange factor in an eva-
luation of the city. How it can
still attract so strongly indus-
try, trade, and business is bey-
ond the comprehension of even
its most devoted citizens.
Not understanding the intri-
cacies of civic planning and city
organization, disgruntled resi-
dents and tourists of Atlanta
have complained and compl-
ained and complained.
Finally, this year Atlanta
can no longer be the butt of
even these well-justified com-
plaints. With^a- re-paved Ponce
de Leon and a marvelously more
efficient expressway system as
pacifiers, we can honestly be-
live Atlanta is progressing in
earnest.
For example, the new profes-
sional baseball and football
stadium is scheduled to be com-
pleted April 15, 1965.
According to a recc nt news
release from the Mayor's
office, Atlanta will definitely
host a major league team in
each sport by the next season.
Who and when remain a well-
kept secret even from the na-
tion's sports writers, who must
resort to changing their specu-
lations almost daily.
W hoever they are, the teams
will be playing in a stadium
worth a total construction cost
of $13,512,000. Combined with
architectural fees and surveys
the cost will pass $18,000,000.
There will be a baseball cap-
acity for 50,000 people and foot-
ball seats for 57,000. (All
seating is arm-chair type with
backs and foldup seat).
It is planned that there will
Eligible Seniors Named
For Independent Study
Alumna Teaches In
French West Africa
Letitia Brown Faucette,
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rob-
ert G. Faucett, 705 Taylor
Street, Bristol, Tennessee, a
1963 Agnes Scott graduate, has
departed for French-speaking
West Africa.
Before becoming teachers of
English in Gabon, Togo, Guinea
and the Ivory Coast, this new
group of approximately 100 Vol-
unteers will receive additional
training in the French language
and in technical studies at Laval
College, Quebec, Canada during
the coming weeks.
In addition to the teachers of
Engl i si i a few Volunteers will
instruct the women of the Ivory
Coast in home economics and
child care. Other Volunteers
will be engaged in physical edu-
cation.
All the new Volunteers took
part in an intensive three
months' training program at
Oberlin College, Ohio. They
studied French for several
hours daily. The characteris-
tics of these nations' history,
and culture were also review-
ed. Refresher courses were
given in American history and
institutions.
The departing Volunteers will
join the (\100 other Americans
now working for the Peace
Corps in 40 African, Asian,
and Latin American countries.
Peace Corps officials report
that requests for additional V ol-
unteers are being rece I \ ed da ily
from these nations.
The object of the Program
of Independent Study at Agnes
Scott College is to give to su-
perior students the opportunity
to explore for themselves some
field of intellectual or artistic
interest and to produce inde-
pendently some piece of work
connected with it.
The program is open to all
students who have a B average
by the end of the winter quar-
ter of the junior year; and ear-
ly in the spring quarte r they arc
to be notified by the Dean of the
Faculty of their eligibility to
participate in the program dur-
ing their senior year.
Transfer students and stu-
dents who reach a B average
during the spring quarter of the
junior year are to be notified
early in the summer.
In exceptional cases, students
who have not achieved a B aver-
age may be invited upon recom-
mendation of the department
and approval of the Independent
Study Committee.

The major design problem
faced by the architects and en-
gineers was to have all seats

for either sport.
To idopt the seating arrange-

ball and football, "the archi-
tects designed demountable

ball games in the area of the
baseball field."
An additional $400,000 is in-
cluded in the stadium contract
to provide for a future roof
and air-conditioning system.
This , in turn, will provide
a "gigantic" convention hall
with a column-free room
whose diameter is 720 ft and
has a 222 foot ceiling, an

American Conservatism
Paul J. Fannin
Republican Governor Of Arizona
Conservatism is today's challenge to the status quo. It is a
dynamic challenge to the prevailing policies of liberalism, to the
people who advocate and administer those policies, and to the
theories behind them.
In simple terms, conservatism is an adherence to ideas and
policies based on experience rather than theory. Conservatives
are constantly searching for new ideas, and in fact have probably
originated most of the world's best thinking.
Aristotle was a conservative. Cicero was a conservative. John
Locke was a conservative. Immanuel Kant was a conservative.
Edmund Burke was a conservative.
The list extends back through the most fertile periods of social,
political, and economic expansion in the world's history the 19th
Century industrial revolution, die 18th Century age of reason, the
development of science in the 17th Century, the tremendous world-
wide economic and intellectual renaissance of the 15th and 16th
Centurius, all the way back to Rome in the 2nd Century B.C. and
Athens in the 5th Century B. C.
Conservatism is sometimes mistakenly considered an archaic
form of modern political thought, which is ridiculous. It is not, as
its critics imply, a reactionary philosophy with the purpose of re-
storing an earlier social or political order any more than it is an
effort to maintain the status quo.
This is the argument used by the principal defenders of the
status quo, and in the United States today they are the so-called
liberals who have become fairly well established in public admin-
istration, the news media, the arts, the academic profession, the
professional labor field, social and welfare work, and some seg-
ments of American corporate management and finance.
Many of these people haw something to lose personally if the
staais quo is changed. Many others feel that a way of life which is
familiar to them is be ing threatened by any deviation from the
doctrinaire liberal views dominating their own professional and
social environment.
It seems to me that liberalism as a form of modern political
thought is acting as a deterrent to human progress in precisely
those areas where progress is now most needed, and while un-
fortunately it cannot yet be called archaic, the sooner it is dis-
carded for something more promising, the better.
Then we can begin to cope with the multitude of problems already
left in its wake. The role of conservatism today is to accomplish
this purpose.
More Than A Show
No freshmen are luckier than Agnes Scott freshmen. When
our freshmen get "orientated" all they have to do is attend
a hysterically funny and somewhat unique production called
Black Cat.
There are no rat caps, no hazing, and no temporary slav-
ery to seniority. Instead, upperclassmen work very hard to
welcome the freshmen.
Black Cat is one of the best things that ever happened around
here. It gives freshmen a first chance to develop class spirit
and to show their wares of talent on the stage and on the hockey
field.
It gives upperclassmen a chance to sport their keen percep-
tions of campus life and to give "the word" to the campus
parvenues.
So why is it that enthusiasm about Black Cat lags and lan-
guishes?
A handful of upperclassmen reject the world, the classroom,
sleep, and the fraternity to create and produce it. Others
find it a pain, and hardly worth the effort.
It is worth the effort. Black Cat creates a warmth, a unity,
a sense of belonging, and a pride in accomplishment.
Go to Black Cat. Appreciate the tremendous amount of work
that goes into its production each year. And most of all, think
about the positive tone it sets.
What better note could there be on which to start the school
year?

Reading The Catalog
William C Wooldndge
Collegiate Press Service
No reading is more melancholy than a large college cata-
log.
Spread out before the inquiring student are often hundreds
of little slices of history, literature, language, and science,
of which in his alotted time he can consume a paltry sixteen or
twenty. Lvery completed year more closely constricts the
range of possibilities open to him.
Lvery hall boasts a few famous optimists who intend to fill
in the gaps with private reading and, more rarely, someone
who actually makes the attempt. These intrepid souls' inevi-
table failure reflects discredit on their sense of perspective
rather than their talents: the uomo universale is impossible
today, and no amount of natural genius can compensate for
the condition of the times.
One student learns something about the Romans and at
the same time of necessity passes by the Greeks, Egyptians,
and Babylonians, not to mention misty peoples whose very
names he never knows. He has four years and a catalog; out
of the combination he must create and education.
Leonardocs were rare enough four hundred years ago. Since
then, the volume of the cranial cavity remains about the same.
This dichotomy is written down in black and white on every
page of a college catalog.
A recognition of the irremediability of the situation does not
banish that recurrent autumnal ennui which overtakes the stu-
dent when he leafs through his catalog to make a few more vista -
limiting choices.
What will he ever know about oceanography, the German
enlightenment, seismology, medieval English drama, the Sym-
bolist movement? About Latin literature in the early middle
ages, English social history 400-1642, Roman law? About the
theory of stellar atmosphere and about galactic structure?
The galaxy must largely remain in shadows, it and most of
its literary, historical, and physical components. Twenty or so
little slices we may investigate. What should they be? No one
can objectively say. What should they not be?
Well considered discrimination can at least begin to suggest
omissions.
One obvious class of candidates for the blackball need only
be mentioned. Other writers have railed sufficiently against
baskey-weaving, modern dancing, physical education, and re-
lated non-courses.
Baskets and basketballs are not intrinsically evil, not special
varieties of sin. When however, so many possibilities stand
arrayed before the student, choosing such a subject as one of
these is ludicrous.
Students now need little warning against the ridiculous. The
transitory proves more beguiling. There is little profit in
learning as a sophomore what will be obsolete at graduation
two years later. The category of transitory includes all those
tempting courses about the world today: current events* mi-
nority conflicts, economic problems, politics in the Middle East.
Too many students, fired up with social conscience instead
of intellectual zeal, look at college as a medical school to pre-
pare general practicioners for the world's ills. They come out
knowing everything about NATO and nothing about the history
of France and England.
A passion to study "real life" most often creates these
intellectual ephemerids. "Real life" last year meant the arms
race, and now means sit-ins. Next year it will be something
else again.
The student of "real life" is grabbing for the newspapers
which will be thrust at all of us quite soon enough. Now we have
the time to enjoy an education; to cull the catalog for courses
which specialize in diagnosing twentieth century headaches is
to throw away our brief respite.
Such courses may inform but cannot educate.
It would be hard to find many people who openly prefess
opposition to the ideal of a liberal education, but the student
who is exclusively preoccupied with " useful" knowledge of
current problems has utterly forsaken that ideal.
This is not written to plead the case of liberal education, but
simply to point out that the economics major and his kin are
not getting one. The country no doubt needs these social tech-
nicians, with the same undeniable urgency it needs " reliable
supply of garbage collectors, but from the point of view of a
student confronted with a pearl-packed catalog, the commoner
stones should have little appeal.
Thomas Jefferso.i late in his life wrote John Adam? he had
happily abandoned daily newspapers for Tacitus and Th Jcydid?s.
Generalized, th.- remark well defines an opportunity which conn s
only in rolleee and retirem-fit.

innovation on her namesake's
campus, tha window ?d date par-

Now before you completely
give up in disbelief, consider
the advantages of this new set-
up.
To those fortunate enougn
to have dates, this provides
a unique experience that of
sharing with the campjs com-
munity.
Participation is the keyno:e
at Agnes Scott. No longer m.st
we feel isolated and separated
while in those nasty little holes.
Now we can be an active part
of campus life at all times.
Protection from the clutches
of lusty Techmen is added to
the all over warm feeling of
being able to maintain visual
co.Tim nicatio.i with everyone
while having a date.
Of course, thare are other
srmll advantages too. No long-
er is conversation as strained
as it w&S when we had those
uncomfortable couches. We can
face our dates in :he new r.wo
chair arrangement, which ma-

promises this offers for the
future: totally glass date par-
lors with a load speaker sys-
tem <o the entire campus con-
mvaity can share not only vis-
ually, but audibly.
Of course, there will always
remain ihose"ne're say die-
ers" who will long for the
old days of wooden doors, cou-
ches, and privacy, but this is
simp'y a backward renunciation
o' tii at which makes for campu?.:

These conservative souls will
have to re-adjust o~ retreat
to other haven li the good old
days, a project which often re-
quires Ingenuity of the highest
type.

Lest We Forget;
Classroom Has
Special Values
Dear Editor,
Basically, we corr.e to Agnes
Scott for the type education it
"offers". Yet what is here that
isn't elsewhere?
At any school we could come
to understand that education
is a never-ending process.
At most any college we could
learn to study for the satis-
faction of understanding. At any
selective school we could rea-
lize the usefulness of competi-
tion.
A unique quality of the small
liberal arts college, however,
is its classroom opportunity.
Here there is time and space
for the individual. And here, at
Agnes Scott, there are profes-
sors who take time to be con-
cerned.
From private study we bring
opinions to the classroom,
where they are respected.
Because of our small num-
ber we can freely compare
professor's comments with our
personal concepts. We can
openly question discrepancies.
The professor knows that
questions originate from
sincere interest. In a small
class, minds can move togeth-
er into an understanding of
the material. Ideas are chal-
lenged by better ideas.
A class session is a vital
link in the experience of a
course. In the session itself we
Jearn alertness. We become
aware of wider possibilities in
unexplored areas-physical, so-
cial, and religious.
[ducation, in Dr. Johnson's
words, is a "multiplicity of
consciousness." Does our life
outside the classroom often
seem narrow because we limit
ourselves within the class-
room?

Employment Abroad:
Fact Or Fallacy
WASHINGTON The fifth re-
vised edition of the pamphlet
"Employment Abroad, Facts
and Fallacies" has been pub-
lished by the Chamber of Com-
merce of the United States.
The pamphlet says that jobs
abroad with business are diffi-
cult to obtain. It advises per-
sons interested in working out-
side this country to get a job in
the U.S. with a firm with over-
seas affiliates.
After that they should learn
the firm's operations, the
pamphlet says, and next tell the
personnel department of their
interest in working abroad.
For students ambitious to go
abroad with business, the
pamphlet urges "a good general
educational background in inter-
national relations, economics,
or special area studies."
The 13-page pamphlet con-
tains four pages of bibliography
listing other publications that
would be useful to persons seek-
ing employment outside the U.S.

students, both men and women.
These are the findings of Miss
Carol Muller, associate editor
of TOGETHER in that maga-
zine's October issue.
In Georgia, for example, 60
students from Emory Universi-
ty in Atlanta and 35 from Agnes
Scott College in Decatur have
been tutoring at two communi-
ty centers.
They have been teaching both
white and Negro children (at the
Wesley Community Center in
Atlanta and Bethlehem Center).
Their efforts have stimulated
the youngsters whose reading,
spelling, and even mathematics
have improved noticeably.
Students from "many diffe-
rent denominations" and some
without church affiliation have
joined the program, reports
the Rev. Lon Chesnutt, campus
minister and director of the
Wesley Foundation at Emory
University.
And in conclusion, the article
points out:
"In far greater numbers than
their predecessors, they (stu-
dents) are hammering away at
specific answers." They're no
longer content merely to think
about contemporary issues.
Actor's Equity in New York,
who sent inspectors from that
city to view the PocketTheatre,
called it a "first class opera-
tion". Professional actors and
actresses work almost exclus-
ively through Actor's Equity.
As a result, the formation
of an Equity company means
that the best talent in this area
and throughout the country will
be available for its use, The
Pocket Theatre says. It will
enhance production standards
^nd provide this region with
professional theatre on a sea-
son long basis.
A 30-week-long schedule of
play production is in the works.
The Pocket Theatre opened with
the musical, "Little Mary Sun-
shine" for a six week contin-
uous run followed by the mys-
tery comedy, "Arsenic and Old
Lace".
Also on schedule are Tenne-
ssee Williams' great drama,
"Streetcar Named Desire",
Jean Kerr's comedy, "King of
Hearts" and George Bernard
Shaw's "Arms and the Man."
Shows at the Pocket will be
staged every night of the week
except Mondays. There will be
two performances at 6:30 p.m.
and at 9:30 p.m. Saturday.
Sunday performances will be
scheduled at 3:30 p.m. and at
7:30 p.m. Performances Tues-
day through Friday nights will
be at 8:30 p.m.
Bishop Hardin
Faculty Honored
For Music, P.E.,
Science Work
Within the last months, three
of Agnes Scott's faculty mem-
bers have gained recognition
in their particular fields.'
On October 1, Dr. Richard
Hensel, a member of the
Agnes Scott music department
received the degree of Doctor
of Musical Arts with Emphasis
in Compostion Theory from the
University of Illinois. Dr. Hen-
sel's project was symphony
number one and his thesis was
"On Paul Hindemith's Harmo-
nic Fluctuation Theory".
This degree has been award-
ed by the University of Ill-
inois since 1953, and Dr.
Hensel is the ninth person to
receive it.
Miss Llewellyn Wilburn was
one of fourteen women recogniz-
ed at the fortieth anniversary
conference of the National
Association for Physical Edu-
cation of College Women, held at
the National Music camp at
Interlochen, Michigan, June 14-
20.
The subject of the conference
was "Aesthetics and Human
Movement". Miss Wilburn was
the only physical education in-
structor from the South to reve-
ive this recognition. She has
been a member of the associ-
ation since 1927.
Also receiving ack jwled-
gment were worn en from Smith,
Wellesley, Vassar, the univer-
sities <f Wisconsin, Califor-
nia, Nebraska, South Dakota
and Oberlin College.
On April 8, Miss Nancy
P. Groseclose of the Lioiogy
jcpartment was elected a fellow
of the American Association for
the Advancement of Science.
Miss Groseclose was chosen for
this honor in recognition of her
standing as a scientist.

Stormer's "Treason"
Could Very Well Be
COLUMBIA (UPI)-The Meth-
odist bishop for South Carolina
said Wednesday that the book
"None Dare Call It Treason"
could be a real aid to com-
munism.
Bishop Paul Hardin Jr. used
his weekly column in the South
Carolina Methodist Advocate to
attack the book, which has been
distributed by the John Birch
Society and is a fast-seller on
local news stands.
'This book, which so many
have accepted as truth, could
be interpreted as a malicious
attack and a deliberate attempt
to injure the church," Bishop
Hardin said.
"As such, it would be a real
aid to communism, in that su-
spicion and doubt are recogniz-
ed tools of the Communist con-
spiracy."
The Bishop said the National
Committee for Civic Responsi-
bility in Cleveland, Ohio, stud-
ied the book and concluded that
it is "at best, an incredibly
poor job of research and doc-
umentation and, at worst, a de-
liberate hoax and a fraud."
The book, by John Stromer,
criticizes the Methodist publi-
cation "Adult Student" and
charges that a series in it on
Christianity and communism
was misleading.

Need Funds
For Complex
Sisters of the Order of St.
Helena, Augusta, Ga., hope to
build a new Chapel, Convent,
and Guest House on the pro-
perty given them in the Flem-
ing Heights section of Augu-
sta.
Estimated cost of the "Con-
vent Complex" has been fixed
at $150,000, according to the
Reverend Sister Clare, OSH.
Pointing out the new build-
ings are to be erected for God
and His Church not only in the
Diocese of Georgia but through-
out the Sewanee Province, the
Sisters have issued an appeal
for funds to all Episcopalians
and other interested persons
throughout the South.
The present temporary Au-
gusta Convent, serving also as a
Chapel and Guest House, is bor-
rowed property, loaned by a
friend for a specific period of
time.
The Sisters now must vacate
the property, and they plan to
build on a nearby sight given
by the owner of the present
property, Mr. Gwinn H. Nixon,
an Augusta Episcoplain.
The proposed Chapel will ac-
commodate 10 Sisters and
30 guests; and the proposed
Convent building is designed to
accommodate o Sisters with
provision for 10 additional
Sisters .
The Guest Homes will ac-
commodate 4 guest with pro-
vision for 6 additional. Mr.
H. Lowrey Stub, an Augusta
architect, also an Episcopalian,
has finished preliminary plans
for the "Convent Complex."
The Augusta House of the Or-
der of St. Helena is part of the
over-all organization of the Or-
der of St. Helena whose Moth-
er House is In Newburgh, New
York. The Sisters have work
for the Church in the west of
.Africa, and they maintain
the Margaret Hall School for
Girls, Versailles, Kentucky.
The Sisters of St. Helena
came to Augusta and the Dio-
C-se of Georgia a little over
two years ago at the invitation
of the present Bishop of Geo-
rgia, the Rt. Rev. Albert R.
Stuart.

Throckmortimer
by Felicia Guest
It isn't often that a class wins
the Scholarship Trophy two
years in succession, but the
members of the Class of '66,
now poised and purposeful
juniors, have done that very
thing.
Madeline won the Trophy
both her freshman and sopho-
more years. Her scholastic re-
cord topped that of the three
preceeding classes of each of
those two levels.
The Scholarship Trophy is
just one of the varied goals
Madeline has attained over the
last two years: In the fall of
1962, she arrived 216 strong.
Her numbers included gradua-
tes from 150 public schools
and 22 private schools.
B. J. Brown was her fresh-
men president. The Class won
four hockey games that sea-
son, tied one, and lost one. In
the 1962 Swimming Meet the
freshmen tied with the Sopho-
moresDennis and Company
for first place.
Early in her college career,
spirited Madeline discovered
that she and equally spirited
Dennis had a definite persona-
lity clash. Never has a clash
been made manifest is so
many ways, and yet remained
so friendly. Madeline and Den-
nis have some strange rap-
port of friendly violence. . .
During winter quarter of their
freshman year, the Whiz Kids
of '66 won five out of six bas-
ketball games. They netted 147
for second place in Junior
Jaunt. Betsy Anderson repres-
ented Madeline on the Made-
mosielle College Board.
Spring quarter came , and
Madeline dated lots, played vol-
leyball, and planned for her so-
phomore year. She elected Deb-
bie Rosen as her sophomore-
president.
Madeline moved into her own
during her sophomore year.
Her members took offices on
boards and councils, took fra-
ternity pins from Tech and
Emory, and took life easy: the
Class of '66 had arrived.
Sophomoric to the core,
Madeline's spirit waxed. Dur-
ing the Campus Campaign, she
was judged the most enthusias-
tic class. For her spirit she
was awarded $1,000 extra to
boost her total to $15,718.68.
Sophomore Parents' Weekend
drew Madeline's parents to
Scott for basketball games, re-
ceptions, chapels, and pro-
ductions by Dolphin Club, Glee
Club, and Blackfriars.
Ah-woo the Indian joined Ma-
deline after a wild round of
competition with the other clas-
ses (yes, Dennis again) for his
possession. The Indian has now
been put away to protect the
innocent. (Ah-woo, that is.)
The Athletic Association Spi-
rit Cup went to enthusiastic
Madeline for the 63-64 school
year.
For work during their sopho-
more year, 26 members of
the Class of '66 made Honor
Roll. Merit List included 31
Madelines.
But is it plain to see that
Madeline isn't just scholarly.
She's spirited, industrious, tal-
ented, popular (notice the pins
and rings), and altogether well-
rounded.
And she still has two years
to grow, to accomplish, and to
learn: During her first two
years she has set herself the
best kind of foundation from
which to build.
(P. S. This is all factu-
ally correct, honest. If is sounds
slanted, after all, who knows
Madelines better than one of
her own?)

Birgitta Seeks
Wider Outlook
by Marilyn Little
"I want to get a broader per-
spective on everything!" With
this goal in mind, Birgitta
Johannesen has come to Agnes
Scott and the United States to
study for one year.
"Gita's" home is Karls-
hamn, a small town on the
Southern coast of Sweden. As
a Swedish Southerner, there-
fore, Gita is particularly in-
terested in the U. S. South.
"Everything is happening here;
I will be able to see for my-
self what is involved in such
things as integration."
Prefacing her comments
with a wise "I have only been
here a little while and can-
not really know yet," Gita
nonetheless has some very in-
teresting impressions of life in
the U. S. and at Agnes Scott.
In Sweden, the general opin-
ion of America is that
"everything is perfect" here.
"Tourists complain a lot, and
always seem to want to go back
home where'things are better."
The Swedish people "trust
United States policies and look
to America for leadership"
since the U. S. is "the only
thing between Russia and war."
Accompanying such trust in
American leadership, Swedes
seem to view with alarm the
nomination of Barry Goldwater,
"He is so unlikely a man to
lead the United States. And it is
not that I disagree so much with
his principles: it is his per-
sonality."
Gita is very emphatic in say-
ing this because she has faced
many times in America the im-
pression that Sweden is socia-
listic. "We are not socialistic.
We have a welfare state con-
cerned with the individual and
his needs, but this is quite
different from socialism.*'
The phenomenon of wide-
spread conformity disturbs
Gita about the United States.
And Scott is no exception be-
cause "everyone, dresses the
same way."
"People are very friendly.
I apreciate perhaps it is banal
to say now friendly and
helpful they are . However
they seem afraid to be differ-
ent or independent. . . But do
not misunderstand me. I like
it at Scott very much. The
idea of residential campus is
particularly nice. In Sweden
a "campus" is unheard of."
Twenty-year old Gita, who
has intensively studied Latin,
English, French, German and
the respective literature, his-
tory, and religion of the coun-
tries of these languages, has
much to offer Agnes Scott.
It is hoped that we can bring
to her as much, and can aid
her in pursuing the goal of
"getting a broader perspec-
tive on everything"!

Scott Sends Timmons Ambitious People
With Growing Pains
by Betsy Anderson
President Lyndon B. Johnson
recently told a group of campus
leaders from all over the na-
tion that he hoped when histor-
ians looked back on his admin-
istration they would note that it
was a time when "young men
and women of American and
their government belonged
to each other in fact and in
spirit."
Among those who heard him
speak was Sarah Timmons, who
was chosen at Johnson's re-
quest to represent the student
body of Agnes Scott.
Johnson also called today's
college students the "volunteer
generation," saying young
adults were eager to take on
responsibilities that called
for sacrifice.
Sarah, a senior from Colum-
bia, South Carolina, also heard
Secretary of State Dean Rusk,
Secretary of Labor Willard
Wirtz and Secreteary of De-
fense Robert S. McNamara
speak.
Rusk, speaking on U. S.
foreign policy said thehopefor
peace was based on the streng-
th of the free world, the troub-
les in the Soviet bloc and the
threat of nuclear war.
McNamara told the college
students that there could be no
vic tory in a nuclear war and that
the job of the defense depart-
ment today was to prevent
war.
W irtz said the biggest problem
facing labor forces today was
not strikes, but the issue of
employment. Knowledge, he told
the group, is now increasing
faster that the understanding
of people.
After the talks, the students
were received by the President,
Mrs. Johnson and Lynda. A
buffet supper in the White House
followed.
Sarah, who admits the pro-
spect of visiting the White House
scared her at first, had no un-
easy moments when the time ar-
rived. "I was on the steps of the
White House when the band star-
ted playing and I just sort of
floated the rest of the way up,"
she remembers.
About 275 students repre-
senting colleges and universit-
ies all over the country were

of Agnes Scott's art department
greeted Altanta patrons of the
arts, school art directors, col-

faculty.
During October, twenty-three
of Mr. Warren'i works are on
display Monday, Wednesday,

Works on exhibition range
from the 1945 painting. East

Jeweled City (1964), inspired
by seeing Atlanta from the air.

20th century, it was against
the law for Moslem Turks to
attend school.
"Halide Edib talked about the
college and when I received the
letter, I remembered all of this
very suddenly and it seemed
that I had to be interested in
the position," Mrs. Sims ad-
ded.
As a consequence of her four
years in Turkey, Mrs. Sims
has a verv real interest and
grasp of Turkey's economical
and political problems. As a re-
public 40 years old, Turkey has
not yet had the opportunity to
experience self-government
fully.
"She is going through a phase
of working out a constitu-
tional and political settlement
which will suit Turkish in-
terests and conditions," stat-
ed Mrs. Sims. "In addition,
she is an old country with a
rapidly growing population and
her resources are not yet ade-
quate for a high standard of liv-
ing."
Yet she emphasized that the
Turkish people are ambitious
for their children and for their
country in order that fu-
ture generations will have
higher standards than the pre-
sent.
On personal feelings about
her stay in Turkey, Mrs. Sims
remarked," I came to like
Turkish food and miss the fine
fruits and vegetables." She
said that Istanbul is a mixture
of the very modern and the an-
cient tradition.
Against the background of the
modern city one might see an
old man bent under the weight
of an enormous load.
Mrs. Sims is now living in
Atlanta with her husband, are-
tired businessman, and is
teaching history and political
science again at Agnes Scott.

Young Conservatives Rally;
Pickett, O'Callahan Speak
FASHION NEWS
by Rosalind Todd
Students from Agnes Scott,
Georgia Tech, and Emory at-
tended a Goldwater youth rally
here last Saturday, October 10.
The meeting was the first poli-
tical rally ever held on the
Agnes Scott campus.
Speaking at the rally were
Roscoe Pickett and Jim O'Cal-
laghan, Republican candidates
from the fourth and fifth con-
gressional districts, respec-
tively.
Ed Manget, Republican Cha-
irman for DeKalb County, and
Frank Lynch, Georgia chair-
man of the Young Americans for
Freedom, also talked to the stu-
dents.
The speakers stressed their
desire for a return to the
constitutional form of govern-
ment, and they emphasized
Goldwater's increasing chanc-
es for victory in Georgia.
The meeting began with "The
Star Spangled Banner" and the
Pledge of Allegiance.
Leading the speaking was Mr.
Manget, who spoke on "The New
Republican Party." He believes
the Republicans can win in Geo-
rgia by an even greater margin
than was dreamed of four years
ago.
A dynamic speech was then
given by Mr. Pickett who stat-
ed his platform in the current
campaign. Mr. Pickett belie-
ves the United States now has
the choice of a return to con-
stitutional government or a con-
tinuation on the road which
leads to socialism.
Mr. Pickett spoke of today's
loose and vascillating foreign
policy which, if continued, will
lead to holocaust war.
Using the present war in Viet
Nam as an example, he said
that 200 United States citi-
zens have been killed there,
yet we still have no definite
purpose or plan.
A firm supporter of Barry
Goldwater, Mr. Pickett stat-
ed, "I want to do what I can
(left to right) Clair Allen, Roscoe Pic-
kett, ji m O'Callahan, and Char lotte Black-
mon.
(left to right) Frank Lynch, Sara Uzzell
Charlotte Blacmon, and Ed Manget.
to help Barry Goldwater in the
Congress of the United States."
After Mr. Pickett, Mr. O'
Callaghan spoke forcefully as a
candidate for the fifth congre-
ssional district. He was follow-
ed by Frank Lynch, whose
main theme was the fight aga-
inst Communism.
Mr. Lynch challenged the stu-
dents responsibility for the
future of America, "a country
worth fighting for."
Young Conservatives began
work on the successful rally
last summer by engaging speak-
ers and arranging a date.
Besides this rally the Young
Conservatives are sponsoring
a survey of the Agnes Scott
campus to find out the presi-
dential choice of the students.
They are also supporting the
sale of the Atlanta Times here.
There are now twenty-three
student subscriptions on cam-
pus and two others taken
by the library and the Pub.
The first meeting of the Young
Conservatives Club was Tues-
day, September 29. Seventy-
six students attended the live-
ly meeting where "Goldwater"
was served.
Some of these students have
been giving out Goldwater mate-
rial on Saturdays and partici-
pating in a Republican canvass-
ing of Georgia Tech and Emory,
as well as Agnes Scott.
Changes For Winter
by Libby McGeachy
With the change from warm to
cooler weather, women every-
where begin to think about a
change in clothes.
They look over the ward-
robe which they have ac-
cumulated over the past years
and begin to revamp it, discard-
ing articles which can no long-
er be worn and looking for new
ones to revitalize the majority
of clothes which remain.
This winter's fashions are
bold and exciting from head
to toe, and buyers from sev-
eral Atlanta stores report that
they have the latest fashions
here within easy reach of the
fashion-conscious woman.
The newest and probably
most flattering hat this wint-
er is the beret, which comes in
several styles.
The deep-dish beret is of
medium size with a small brim,
while the chenille cap and the
watch cap fit the head more
closely.
These styles, which take
their cue from the latest Paris
creations, are slightly remini-
scent of the 1920's.
Sweaters this season more
often then not have some cab-
ling on them. The heavy ski
sweater is back and more fash-
ionable than ever.
The turtleneck sweater is
worn this season under ano-
ther sweater rather than under
a blouse as last season.
The blouse for winter has
long sleeves, a large collar,
and is generally made of a
supple fabric. It comes* in a
variety of colors and patterns
and styles from dressy to cas-
ual.
The most popular skirt shape
for winter is the A-line. The
trumpet skirt, which has a lit-
tle more flare, is als o quite
flattering.
Shirt fabrics run from bold
checks to quilted foulard.
Tweed is very good this fall
and comes in a variety of forms.
There are silk tweeds, cobb-
lestone tweeds, towny tweeds,
and many more to chose
from.
The most exciting sports-
wear this season is the pant-
suit. The pantsuit most often
has a long jacket with matching
pants short or long, or knee
breeches.
The flimsy dress with flare
for after five is found in one
of the many styles collectively
known as Discotheques-
The styles are strikingly
feminine, with low backs and
are decorated with lace, se-
quins, ruffles, beads, and ost-
rich.
A great deal of attention will
be on legs this winter, for fash-
ion says they will be com-
letely covered in bold new pat-
terns known as "zany- knit
stockings."
Shoes this winter are not quite
so revolutionary, however, The
toes are a little more rounded
and the heels a little thicker,
but the basic styles remain
the same.
As always with the coming
of a new season, fashions
change. The old goes out and the
new comes in.
However, it is heartening to
know that the basic - the sim-
ple hat, the cardigan sweat-
er, the round collar blouse, the
straight skirt, slacks and ber-
mudas, and the basic black
dress - are still as stylish and
useful as ever.

Hockey Season Opens;
Scotch Foursome Slated
Happy Birthday,^
All is ready. Time 55 at the
whistle. "Ground, sticks,. . .
ground," and they're off. A
quick pass to the inner and she's
dribbling down the field. She
passes off to her wing who drib-
bles, then dodges, recovers, and
moves on toward the goal.
The crowd is on their feet
yelling, "Go! Pass for the
goal." A few frantic moments
of getting beyond that full back,
and then she's inside the
striking circle driving hard.
A flash of movement as the
goalie lunges and kicks the
ball. The wing moves in close
and follows up her shot as the
ball scoots into the goal cage.
A pause, a whistle, cheers,
and the team leaps as they re-
alize their team is ahead.
Score- 1 to 0.
"You are there, Black Cat
hockey game 1964." The air
is crisp and clear, the green
field is dotted with color. You've
marched on as a class, and
somehow after this first game,
win or lose, you all leave with
an even greater sense of class
unity.
Yes, hockey is a great game,
but even more than this it's
a feeling. It's the fun of cheer-
ing on your friends and class-
mates, or the exhiliration of
the play itself for the team.
Why don't we have a "kick
off" occasion for this Black
Cat spirit? Sound like a good
idea?
Then come on down
Thursday night, October 15 at
10 p.m. for a campus bonfire
on the hockey field. There'll
be doughnuts, sweatshirts, and
songs immediately following
in the hub.
I'd like to congratulate the
hard-working hockey managers
and teams. Their effort and en-
thusiasm leads us to antici-
pate one of our best hockey sea-
sons ever.
- The class managers are:
Frosh- Gail Livingston; Sophs-
Linda Cooper; Juniors- Terri
Singer; and Seniors- Catherine
Sloan.
The A. A. manager Betsy
Hamner sends out word that
it's not too late to come out
for the season. Three practi-
ces are necessary for this
first game, and then one prac-
tice must precede each other
game.
Susan Landrum, golf mana-
ger for A. A., has announced a
special sort of golf tournament.
It's known as a Scotch Four-
some, and I hear refresh-
ments are provided.
No, actually this is a bit
misleading. The idea is that stu-

Eleven UT Students
Picket LBJ Ranch
Wart Core
Another "sure cure" for
warts has come to light:
Pour vinegar on the hinge
of a door immediately
after seeing a shooting
star. As the star falls, so
will the wart fall off the
victim's hand.
Eleven University of Texas
students picketed Lyndon Johnson
LBJ ranch recently "to encour-
age" the President "to take ac-
tion to stop the violence in
McComb, Mississippi.
Three of the demonstrators had
worked in Mississippi during the
summer, during the voter regis-
tration drive.
The students paraded along the
state ranch road about a mile
from the main entrance of the
Johnson ranch, but were not per-
mitted to picket in front of the
Johnson house. While President
Johnson is at the ranch, state
police do not allow persons to
stop in front of the house.
A spokesman for the demon-
strators, Robert Stone said they
were not demonstrating for the
sake of demonstrating, but be-
cause they feel that more needs
to be done in Mississippi, par-
ticularly McComb.
Stone, one of those who had
worked in Mississippi, said, "We
are sympathetic with the Presi-
dent, and believe he has his heart
in the right place, but we just
want what needs to be done to be
done."

OTTAWA (UPI) As the Nov.
3 election south of the border
draws near, the press and pub-
lic of Canada seem convinced
that President Johnson will de-
feat his Republican opponent.
And to judge from newspaper
editorial comment, that is the
way most of them want it.
The Toronto Star, the coun-
try's largest newspaper, has
termed Sen. Barry Goldwater's
public statements on foreign
policy "a mindless creed, a
madness in this century that of-
fers the possibility of the
world's total destruction/'
Public support for Goldwater
has come from the Social Cred-
it party and its French-Canadi-
an offshoot, the Creditistes.
Real Cacuette, Creditiste lead-
er, said when Goldwater was
nominated that he "rejoiced"
at the prospect of a Republican
candidate who would "stand up
to communism."
Canada prides itself over the
fact it has the closest ties of any
nation in the world with the Unit-
ed States. The very intimacy of
these ties produces problems
and few Canadians expect any
election-either here or south of
the border- to settle all of them.
While Johnson has not con-
jured up as heroic a picture in
Canadian - American relations
as the late John F. Kennedy,
most Canadians have been
pleased with the continuity of
the post- Kennedy period and the
way that Johnson has met prob-
lems like the Gulf of Tonkin
crisis.
Of particular interest to Ca-
nada is the osition of the
candidates on foreign trade.
Canada has a billion-dollar ex-
port market at stake.
While Johnson has had little
to say on the subject, he has
acted several times to veto pos-
sible restrictive measures
against such key Canadian ex-
ports as lumber, oil and base
metals.
Goldwater, meanwhile, has
talked of protecting U.S. do-
mestic producers in these
areas, indicating to Canadians
that he might not be so quick
to reject demands for higher
tariffs or lower quotas.
Canada traditionally has got-
ten along well with Democratic
administrations - starting with
Franklin Delano Roosevelt's
"Good Neighbor" policy and
building to unrivaled public af-
fection during the Kennedy ad-
ministration.
Sir Bernard Lovell, direc-
tor of Britain's Jodrell Bank
Observatory, will speak at
Agnes Scott Tuesday, October
27, at 8:00 p.m. in Gaines
Auditorium.
Sir Bernard has just arriv-
ed in the United States from
London to undertake an Ameri-
can speaking tour. His lecture
at Agnes Scott will be on
The Exploration of Outer Space
Recently, at the invitation ot
the Soviet Academy of Scienc-
es, Sir Bernard became the
only western scientist ever to
tour Russian space facilities
within the Soviet Union.
Sir Bernard isgenerallyack-
nowledgedas the foremost inter-
national expert on the Ameri-
can-Soviet space effort. At the
conclusion of his tour he made
world headlines when he di dar-
ed that there is no race for the
moon.
Sir Bernard went on to ex-
plain that the United States is
only racing itself towards the
moon, as the Soviet goal is to
put a manned space platform in-
to orbit 150 miles above the
earth.
Claiming that such an as.,
ation would "be one of themosc
important moments in history
Sir Bernard also suggested that
the United States and Russia
pool their space efforts.
A noted educator in England,
Sir Bernard is an honorary
Foriegn member of the Ameri-
can Academy of Arts and Sci-
ences. He is also an honorary
fallow of the New York Aca-
demy of Sciences,
The National Acronauties and
Space Administration (NASA)
cited Sir Bernard for his work
with the American space pro-
gram.
President Eisenhower
has honored him for his
contributions in the tracking
of the deep space probe, Pion-
eer VI.
Sir Bernard was born in Old-
land, Common, Gloucester-
shine, and was educated at the
University of Bristol.
He then lectured in phy-
sics at the University of Man-
chester, and during World War
II was involved in telecommun-
ications research. Sir Bernar-
nard's Lectures have included
the 1958 series of Reith Lec-
tures and the Condon Lectures
at the University of Oregon.

TW 3
The mock election, sponsored last week by Christian Asso-
ciation, brought a number of interesting speakers to our campus.
It also emphasized the presence of student political leaders.
Each of the events was interesting for the outlook which it
brought us. The debate between Jean Hoefer, Democrat, and
Sarah Uzzel, Republican, drew a large, interested crowd.
The issues discussed were for the most part discussed
with clarity.
Most of us who attended are convinced that there are at least
two students on campus who are aware of the positions which
their candidates have taken.
The Hub, however, was definitely divided between Republicans
and Democrats.
Those wearing LBJ hats agreed with Hoefer; the Republicans
supported Uzzel.
The Mackay Haldi debate was certainly the most heated
discussion of the week. Both speakers made very per-
sonal attacks.
Haldi divided the country between the bad guys and the good
guys. "The Democratic Party'* he stated," is a party that
cannot see the issues."
It was also interesting that Haldi seemed to picture Gold-
water Republicans as diametrically opposed to every other poli-
tical group.
This may well be true. Yet is it for Haldi to say that Repub-
licans who oppose their "temporary spokesman" are there-
fore "not Republicans?"
During the Hub discussion after the debate, Haldi spoke on
many issues; Mackay, on very few.
Yet to many observers Mackay's statement at the end of the
hour was the most important of the day.
"Our political society is immature. . . We must grow up
before we are destroyed." "There are too many people" he
continued, "who think that somehow we will muddle through."
Mackay advocated a calm discussion of the issues between
candidates and parties and an end of the continual play on words
and definitions.
Eugene Patterson, editor of the Atlanta Constitution, present-
ed a very unbiased view of the political situation in chapel Wed-
nesday.
In his appearance Thursday night, however, Patterson was
definitely a Democrat - and a very convincing one.
The panelists Thursday night demonstrated the calm exchange
of ideas which Mackay advocated during his visit that day.
Their discussion was for the most part friendly, although the
audience was again sharply divided between the anti-Johnson and
anti-Goldwater factions.
Although this has been a full week and a very interesting
one, very few votes have been changed; and very little under-
standing between the supporters of the two parties has ensued.
Too much of this campaign has been concerned with oppon-
ent-baiting and deliberate misunderstanding of terms ("It de-
pends, Sir, on what you mean by 'freedom' ").
Can we not at least establish a common political language?

Profile Contest
Everybody at Agnes Scott knows this campus has Political
Spirit.
And almost everybody at Agnes Scott likes it this way.
Of course, there are always a few who claim they don't like
it (everybody knows the type they'd probably vote against the
drinking policy too)
Anyway, these few complain a lot about silly little things like
being trampled by Sarah Uzzell and Company in the quadrangel
or being utterly put down by a talk with Hoeffer.
Naturally the rest of the campus would like to squelch these
prudy dissenters in a big way.
Now there's a safe way for folks to retaliate, and they can't
hit back or anything.

Pamphleteering
Steven V. Roberts
Collegiate Press Service
WASHINGTON About nine million Americans have turned 21
since the 1960 election, and both parties are drooling like hungry
wolves as they attempt to win the hearts and minds of those in-
nocent lambs.
The Republicans, for instance, have singled out particular in-
terest groups for special attention. One leaflet prepared by Youth
for Goldwater-Miller was sent to every fraternity and sorority
president in the country.
In brown block letters, the first page bears the legend, "The
Fraternity System Has A Friend In Barry Goldwater."
Next to this portentious message is a picture showing the
candidate and his 22-year-old son Mike, as they admire a beer
mug whose lettering is inexplicably backwards. Between them,
hanging on the wall, is a portrait of a dour blonde girl, about six
years old.
Since Barry is a Sigma Chi from the University of
Arizona (as we are told on the back of the leaflet) one can only
assume the little angel on the wall is the "sweetheart" of song and
story.
The leaflet then quotes from a letter the Senator evidently
once penned to Mike: "A man must select his own associates.
In fact, that right is expressed in the First Amendment of the
Constitution. . . A fraternity is a wonderful institution. . . It is
the reitreation of basic philosophy in the rites of all fraterni-
ties that I think makes them important," the Senator wrote.
It is perhaps a piddling point, but one can't help but notice
that "rights" does not get equal billing with "rites;" nor does
Barry explain that "basic philosophy" he thinks is so impor-
tant. Hazing? Discrimination? Commual living?
Inside, the leaflet contains excepts from an address the Sena-
tor delivered before the National Interfraternity Conference on
November 25, 1960.
Making allowances for the endemic extravagances of political
oratory, the speech is still a corker. "Now, I maintain," the
Senator said, "that fraternities must survive; they are pro-
bably the greatest bastion we have here for our future, the great
bastion we have where we can develop leaders to take care of
the protection of the Republic and our way of life. . . "
All the other "greatest bastions" free enterprisers, the
Strategic Air Command, the churches might have had a word
or two with the Senator over that one, but we have not been able
to determine whether Curtis Lemay or Milton Friedman has seen
this opus.
The leaflet concludes with the plea, "The Goldwater-Miller
Ticket Needs the Help of Greeks Everywhere." A heart-rend-
ing appeal, to be sure, but peculiarly ill-timed; if it gets into
the wrong hands Barry could lose e very Turkish vote in the coun-
try.

Georgia State
Sponsors New
Radio Station
Georgia State College is
sponsoring a first college act-
ivities. With a projected broad-
cast date of mid-fall, a group
of students at the college are
working for their own radio
station!
The project is under the
supervision of Mr. Jack Wil-
liams, exctutive director of the
Georgia Association of Broad-
casters and a journalism pro-
fessor at Georgia State.
WPLO will be the real spon-
sor of the college station and
will bear the major effect of its
success or failure. The air-
time of WPLO-FM, as the new
station will be known, will, at
first , be in the place of re-
gular WPLO scheduling.
Mr. Williams believes the ex-
perience of working with such a
station will be exciting because
it is a real innovation in col-
lege activities.
It will, he says, be of end-
less value for anyone thinking of
entering radio as a profession.
It can be of great interest to
anyone willing to devote his
time and abilities even for
the time of the college years.
Student Manager of the new
radio station is Ed Sheahan.
His is the only paid position,
but the whole staff will have
a free hand in deciding the type
and the tone of the programs
and schedules.
Anyone expressing an inter-
est and a support will be wel-
comed in this new student-ope-
rated venture at Georgia State.
The station, though, will be
strictly non-commerical, as its
sole purpose is to provide exp-
erience in radio techniques
for college students.
Foreign Student
Enrollment In
USA Doubles
(CPS) The number of
foreign students and faculty
members at U. S. colleges,
universities, and hospitals has
more than doubled in the past
decade, according to a report
issued by the Institute of In-
ternational Education.
Last year 92,000 foreign
nationals studied, taught, or did
research in this country, com-
pared to 40,000 in 1954-
1955. Nearly 75,000 of last
year's foreign guests were stu-
dents, compared with 64,000 in
1962-1963.
The number of researchers,
teachers, and other academic
guests rose from 6,000 in 1962-
1963 to 8,000 last year. The
number of foreign interns and
residents in American hospi-
tals rose from 7,200 in 1962-
1963 to 8,800 last year.
The largest number of for-
eign students, 33,000, came
from the Far East. Fifteen
thousand came from Latin Ame-
rica; 14,000 from Europe;
12,000 from the Near and Middle
East; . 9,700 from North Ame-
rica; 6,500 from Africa; and
1,400 from Oo ania. The Afri-
can student group had the high-
est proportionate increase for
the fifth consecutive year.
Although 1,800 U. S. colleges
and universities enroll foreign
students, 40 institutions en-
roll almost half of them. The
University of Caifornia, Col-
umbia, and New York Univer-
sity each enrolled over 2,000
last year.

NSA Referendum
Proposed At Wayne
DETROIT (CPS) Wayne
State University students may
soon vote in a referendum to
decide whether that school will
retain its affiliation with the
United States National Student
Association. Better Off Out
(BOO), an organization of Wayne
students in favor of separating
the university from NSA, re-
cently asked the school's Stu-
dent-Faculty Committee to call
the referendum.
A referendum similar to that
proposed at Wayne took place
at the university two years ago.
At that time, the university
student body voted to retain its
NSA membership by a narrow
margin.
NSA has been most severely
criticized for its stands on pub-
lic issues. Allen Howell, co-
chairman of BOO, charged that
the organization has fallen un-
der the control of a clique of
left-wingers and is not repre-
sentative of the mainstream of
student thought.
"You'll find that USNSA has
condemned Spain, Portugal., and
South Africa, but not once did
they condemn a Communist
country," he said.
He also charged that USNSA
praised Fidel Castro's war on
illiteracy while fully aware that
Castro was only teaching prop-
aganda.
Friday In Chapel:
Graduate Schools
Miss Mary Hart Richardson
is chairwoman of a faculty panel
discussion which will be held at
chapel Friday, October 30. The
panel will discuss graduate
school to help Agnes Scott stu-
dents who are considering at-
tending one.
Speakers on the panel are
members of the faculty who are
now attending or have recently
finished graduate school.
Included are Mr. Jack L. Nel-
son who worked at Harvard last
summer and Mr. Fred K. Par-
rish who is working at Emory.
Other members of the panel are
Miss Sue Trotter and Miss
Elvena Green.
Miss Richardson studied at
Northwestern University last
summer.
"At the 16th USNSA Con-
gress," he said, " - mode-
rate Democrats who wouldn't
be caught dead as conserva-
tives on their own campuses"
opposed the liberal proposals
of the dominant clique.
Howell contended that the Stu-
dent-Faculty Committee is
afraid to bring the subject into
the open with a referendum.
Larry Glazer, chairman of
the Michigan Region of NSA,
disputed BOO's statement that
the majority of speakers at the
Congresses are left-wing.
He said the official speaker
at last summer's Congress
were Democratic Senator Eu-
gene McCarthy of Minnesota*
Minnesota's Lt. Governor San-
dy Keith, Carl Rowan, Director
of the United States Information
Agency, and O. Meridith Wil-
son, President of the Univer-
sity of Minnesota.
He noted that Barry Gold-
water Jr. spoke to the conser-
vative caucaus.
Glazer said, "It's not true
that students get no benefit from
NSA." He pointed to projects
of social significance such as
Books for Equal Education
(which distributes books to Sou-
thern Negro schools) and sup-
port for other Civil Rights
groups as beneficial programs.
Economic benefits singled out
included NSA's student life in-
surance plan (10,000 for $20 per
year) and European travel dis-
counts.
He also said that the dues for
Wayne State membership are
not $2,000 per year, as charged
by BOO, but $220 per year, or
an average of eight-tenths of a
cent per student.
He answered the charge that
NSA does not democratically
represent the student body by
saying, "the NSA constitution
states that delegates to the an-
nual congress (where policy is
decided) must be chosen either
by direct election by the stu-
dent body or by democratically
constituted student govern-
ments."
Glazer said the National Exe-
cutive Board, which BOO said
is speaking out on issues as if
it were speaking for the majori-
ty of students in the country,
has been out of existence for two
years.
Young Democrats Honor
Luci Baines Johnson
By Ann Roberts
Sixty Agnes Scott Young Dem-
ocrats, and four Republican
spies, attended the Hootenanny
Extravanganza in honor of Luci
Baines Johnson, October 17.
Peter, Paul, and Mary pro-
vided entertainment as well as a
few political comments. Peter
said that this election is a "de-
cision between two different
systems of morality."
He accused Barry Goldwater
of offering a "selfish approach
to living" while President John-
son offers "dignity and brother-
hood."
Said he also of Senator
Goldwater, "If you're white,
Protestant, young, and rich, he
likes you."
Following the concert, Cindy
Massell, daughter of vice-May-
or Sam Massell, presented Miss
Johnson with a key to the city.
Then Luci Baines began her
speech with a few comments on
the nature and truth of folk
music and the pertinence of
such questions as the one asked
by P. P. and M; "How many
times can a man turn his head
and pretend that he just doesn't
see?"
She urged young Georgia vo-
ters to ask this question and
answer it in their votes. She
revealed her "envy" for them
because they have been entrus-
ted with the "unique privilege"
of voting at 18.
She stressed the responsibi-
lity of young people because
"we are the ones who will
make the country whatever it
becomes." She said there are
some people who "deep down
in their hearts just don't care"
and that they "are to be fear-
ed more than those who hate."
Taking another folk music
line she said, "Your land and my
land is ours to do with what
we want." She called on the
young people to be leaders
to "learn how to make this a
better land."
Other special guests appear-
ing before the crowd of more
than 3000 young Georgians In-
cluded fifth district congress-
man Charles Weltner and fourth
district congressional candi-
date James Mackay, who was
granted the honor of introduc-
ing Miss Johnson.
He took the opportunity to
tell her "why we love her
daddy' and spoke of the Presi-
dent's concern for all men, and
his efforts to help them.
The affair held on the Albert
Love estate included a barbecue
for all guests. Later, Miss
Johnson traveled to Athens with
Governor and Mrs. Carl San-
ders for the Georgia- FSU game,
followed by a concert and dance.
Arts Council Plans
Vestibule Vermilion
99
By Beverly Allen
Conversation, Cuisine, and
Continuous Entertainment will
prevail at "Vestibule Vermil-
ion" from 8:30-12:00 p.m., Fri-
day, October 30. Arts Council
has chosen the Feast of All-
hallows Eve to provide Scott
faculty, students and guests with
a unique evening experience.
At "Vestibule Verimilion,"
(formerly Rebekah Rec Room),
you can discuss aesthetic values
over coffee and a cigarette,
argue politics to a background
of guitar music, nibble ginger-
bread while poetry is read, or
browse through student drawing
and pottery exhibits to select a
painting to rent or buy.
The Arts Council board ana
members of the represented or-
ganizations admit to having de-
signed "Vestibule Vermilion"
with a dual motive. They want
the campus community to know
what they are doing to help them
do more by contributing to their
cause.
Glee Club members are sell-
ing the 25$ tickets in the mail
room, October 27-30 from 2-4
p.m. and at the colonnade en-
trance of "Vestibule Vermi
lion" Friday night. The red
rectangle provides the holder
with admission, coffee, and such
entertainment as a dramatic
reading by Miss Roberta Win-
ter.
Inside "Vestibule Vermil-
lion" art students will draw
your caricature for 25$, SAI will
sell you home-baked eat-
alongs, and Joan Kiker will
tabletop tap dance.
Trhoughout the evening Carol
Young will "perform" as art
librarian. From her you can
rent student art which is mat-
ted ready to hang in your room
for the remainder of the quar-
ter. If you would prefer to make
a permanent aesthetic pur-
chase, you can buy one of the
paintings on sale.
At 1U:00 "auctioneer" Elvena
Green will offer ten pieces of
art to the highest biddres.
In the less-than-private side
parlors you may exercise your
own talents in spontaneous ar-
tistic expression via the med-
ium of finger paint or partici-
pate in a round of "Botticelli".
Fianlly, at midnight, there
will be a special "visitation."
The appearance of the Spirit
of Allhallows will herald the
occasion of October 31 and cli-
max an evening unusual.
Mark this Friday. Oct. 30,
with Vermilion. Venture to the
Vestibule I

Political Role For Universities
WASHINGTON (CPS) The
university must be "willing to
step out into the political arena
and do its part in defending
higher education against im-
proper procedures, controls, or
ill-considered legislation," ac-
cording to the President of the
California Institute of Techno-
logy, Lee DeBrigge.
Speaking at an American
Council on Education confer-
ence on research administra-
tion in colleges and univer-
sities, DuBridge said that "the
essential integrity of higher
education may well have to be
more and more protected and
promoted in Washington circ-
les."
"A university which tries to
believe it can passively accept
government funds without obli-
gations and responsibilities
and problems is headed for
disillusionment," DuBridge
said.
"There are risks and dang-
ers and headaches in govern-
mentfinanced research. . .there
are dangers of unintended or un-
desired imbalances or disru-
ptions within the institution as a
whole."
DuBridge said that the best
way to guard against these dan-
gers and to "follow a consis-
tent and logical (research) pol-
icy based on recognized educa-
tional objectives" is to "have
some non-government cash in
the bank."
He advocated "strong efforts
... to secure greatly exp?M-
ed funds from private and
state-government sources" as
well as increasing and broaden-
ing government support of high-
er education and research.
Arguing that teaching and re-
search are inseparable and
complementary, DuBridge cau-
tioned all colleges and univer-
sities to develop research
programs that are "consist-
ent with their aims and objec-
tives and financial limita
tions."
"American institutions of
higher education are not solely
schools for the formal class-
room instruction of students,"
DuBridge said. "They must
be centers for scholarly in-
quiry. They have a responsibi-
lity and the opportunity to ex-
pand knowledge as well as to
expound it."
"Advanced undergraduate
students and, of nec ssity,
graduate stud nts must be
introduced to the very frontiers
of knowledge in their princip-
al fields of interest. . .
"I believe that students can
be guided to these frontiers
only by teachers who are them-,
selves familiar with the terri-
tory," he continued. "And I
believe that when an active mind
of teacher or student has some
experience with the fascinating
frontiers of knowledge, there
will be generated an irresisti-
ble d. sire to penetrate these
frontiers. . .
Support For Johnson- Humphrey
RICHMOND, VA. (Special) The P res byte rian Outlook, indepen-
dent weekly published here, has expressed its hopes for the elec-
tion, pf the Johnson-Humphrey ticket in the November 3 election.
In an editorial statement which
reviewed expressed feelings of
religious groups and leaders in
support of the same ticket, The
Outlook declares that they "are
more nearly united (on this is-
sue) than at any time in this
century."
The paper, with no official
ties, serves the constituency of
the Presbyterian Church, U.S.,
and the United Presbyterian
Church, USA.
After reviewing the stand of
Protestant, Catholic and Jewish
publications and leaders in sup-
port of the election of the Dem-
ocratic Party's nominees, The
Outlook does what its editors
say has not been done in all its
past history of more than 145
years in endorsing the election
of a specific ticket*
The editorial was written be-
fore the appearance of the joint
statement of 700 Episcopal
leaders, including 10 bishops,
calling for the defeat of Sena-
tor Goldwater, but The Outlook
emphasizes the appeal of Epis-
copal publications for his defeat
and the opposition of two bishops
who are credited by Mr. Gold-
water as "prime influences in
his life."
Referring to the impact of the
opposition to policies espoused
by Senator Goldwater, the edi-
torial says:
"If there is any doubt as to
the position of these editors in
light of the emphases which
have been made here across
many years, and the stark clar-
ity of the issue before us in his
campaign, then thousands of
words have been wasted. We do
not presume to tell our readers
how they should vote/ though we
have hopes. For what it may be
worth, our vote will go for Mr.
Johnson and for Senator Hump-
hrey, with full confidence in
their leadership toward a world
of justice and order in interna-
tional affairs and a domestic
economy which will claim the
promise of our boasted demo-
cratic ideals."
In the 1960 presidential cam-
paign The Outlook's widely
quoted editorial declared that a
man's religious allegiance
should not be used as an auto-
matic bar to disqualify him
from office, but that every man
should be judged on his own
merits. The paper did not en-
dorse specific candidates.

Political
Book Sales
At Colorado
BOULDER, Colo. (CPS)
Two conservative student poli-
tical organizations at the Uni-
versity of Colorado were first
denied and then granted the right
to sell political information at
a booth in the student union.
Dean of Men and student un-
ion director James Quigley said
it was a "misunderstanding"
that had originally led to a uni-
versity official stopping the
school's Young Republican Club
and Young Americans for Free-
dom (YAF) chapter from sell-
ing copies of "None Dare Call
It Treason," and "A Tex-
an Looks at Lyndon."
Young Republican President
Bill Babcock said he felt the
sale of the materials was with-
in the scope of the education-
al aims of the university."
The two groups also offered
their customers a socialist
newspaper, New America, to
provide readers with both sides,
according to Babcock.
The sale on the books had
originally been blocked on the
grounds that they were non-
university publications. Quigley
said, however, that university-
affiliated or sponsored groups
would be permitted to sell ma-
terials in the student union .if
they got the approval of the
building's management, and
provided the materials sold are
related to the program purpos-
es of the group.'
Last year, members of the
Young Socialist Alliance (YSA)
were prevented from selling co-
pies of Young Socialist" and
"The Militant" on the campus
on grounds that the YSA was
not a recognized student group.

With the first Silver Survey
of the quarter close at hand,
Social Council would like to give
the reader some information
about the choice, price, use,
care, and setting of Sterling
silver.
Although the choice of a sil-
ver pattern is personal, there
are a few points which jewe-
lers suggest in choosing any
silver. First, of all, one should
notice theshape of each piece
and study the detail for har-
mony of line. Secondly, one
should examine the various pie-
ces in a pattern to see if they
are well balanced and comfor-
table to hold. Finally, one should
think of the future in decide if
the pattern will continue to
please.
The price of any piece in
a given pattern varies with the
style and the company which
produces it. Teaspoons range
in price from about $5.00 to
$7.50, palce forks from about
$9.00 to $1 1.50, and place kni-
ves from about $8.50 to $10.00
A butter spreader can range
in price from about $5.25 to
$6.75, Salad forks from about
$7.75 to $9.50, and place spoons
from about $7.75 to $9.25.
Although the use of each
piece of silver in a basic
setting is well known, it is also
good to know the functional val-
ue if several of the serving
pieces. The double pronged ol-
ive or pickle fork has many
uses. Besides serving olives
and pickles, it can be used as
a lemon fork and a butter pick.
The four pronged cold meat
or buffet fork serves cold
meats, chops, food served on
toast, and platter salads.
The tomato or flat servier is
used for tomatoes, croquettes,
eggs, pancakes, or jellied sal-
ads.
The gravy ladle is ideal for
serving stews, creamt dishes,
soups, whipped creai. and
dessert sauces, as well as gra-
vies.
Sugar tongs have several
uses. They may be used with
an ice bucket or on a candy
dish, as well as for serving
sugar cuves.
Sterling silver dealers sug-
gest that the primary rule in
silver care is to use each piece
as often as possible. It is sug-
gested that one rotate all the
pieces so that they may have
uniform use if there are mori
place settings than are needed
at a given meal.
Careful washing is another
way to protect the quality of
one's Sterling silver. It is sug-
gested that one wash all Ster-
ling promptly in hot sudsy-
water, rinse in hot water, and
dry with a soft clean towel
while the silver is still warm.
However, one should wait until
the silver is cool before plac-
ing it in a dry drawer or chest.
When polishing silver one
should rub each piece with a
lengthwise motion; wash it in
hot soapy water; and dry. To
bring out the surface luster, one
should rub it with a soft flan-
nel cloth.
Although chemical dips and
soda-aluminum baths are fast
to remove tarnish, these meth-
ods are not recommended if the
silver has any decorative de-
sign, for they dull the luster a
and bleach out out oxidation,
light and shadow effects.
Silver is placed at each place
in order to its use from the
outside in. Forks (except the
coctail fork) go on the left of
left of the place. Knives (ex-
c^pt the butter spreader) and
spoons are placed to the right
of the plate. Twenty-four inch-
es is the minimus am outn which
should be allowed for each plac^
setting.
Flat silver should be an inch
from the edge of the plate. The
knife blade cutting edge fac^s
toward the plate.
The coctail fork is placed at
the extreme right of the spoons,
while the butter spreader is
placed across the top or on the
right side of the butter plate.
The sharp edge of the but-
ter spreader should face the
dinner plate.
Only the silver that is to be
used up to the desert course
is placed on the table.
The desert silver is
brought in with the dessert.

"Vm Dennis the Menace." said Chris
Christian Association:
Relevant Or Irrelevant
By May C. Brown
With a happy four-year-old
laugh Christopher Parrish
dashed into the room in over-
alls, tee shirt, and bare feet.
"May I sit on your camera?"
he asked, cocking his head and
raising his eyebrows as if the
request were perfectly reason-
able.
I attempted to explain that the
action might prove deterimental
to the object in question. "But
you may sit next to the camera
on the sofa," I added.
"No," he said, occupying
himself with hiding his hand in
the sleeve of his shirt. "Who
are you?"
I introduced myself. "I'm
Dennis the Menace," said Chri-
stopher, pulling on his overall
straps.
That's for sure, I thought.
"I know," I said. "And you're
the senior class mascot. Do
you know what that means?"
"Sure ," he said, "but I'm
not gonna tell you!" He laugh-
ed delightedly and ran into the
next room.
I followed with pen, and
paper, and camera.
"I'm watching T. V.," said
Christopher.
"What are you watching?"
"Popeye. That's Popeye
the one with the pipe."
"Oh," I said. "What do you
do all day, Christopher?"
Since he didn't answer, I
rephrased the question. "Do you
go to school?"
"Yeah. . . I play wecords
(records) and I dwaw. . . When
I get big and get enough money,
I'm gonna get a banjo."
"Do you play a banjo?" I
asked dubiously.
"I play one," Christopher
said as if the question were ut-
terly ridiculous. "I'm gonna get
a grown-up banjo so when I
grow up I can play it."
"That's Pluto," he said, in-
dicating the T. V. "What are
you witing (writing)?"
"I'm writing down some of the
things you're saying."
"Can you wite my name?"
"1 think so," 1 wrote
CHRJSTOHHEll.
'That's not my name," he
squaeled and turned his at-
tention to the more important
matters at hand.
"What do you want to be when
you grow up?" I asked, at-
tempting to compete with Pop-
eye for attention.
"I wanna grow up to drive a
car," he said logically without
looking at me.
I waited, wondering how Art
Linkletter cound make kids say
such riotous things.
"Have you ever been to your
daddy's office?" I asked. He
nodded, and I pursued the sub-
ject hopefully. "What did you
think of it?"
"1 think is's stupid," he said
conclusively.
I reached for my purse to go.
'When I grow up, I'm gonna
be a 'biology'," Chris said
helpfully.
"You mean a biologist," I
said.
"A 'biology'," said Christo-
pher Parrish firmly and return-
ed his full attention to Popeye.
Guidance Office Announces
Dates For Peace Corps Test
Miss lone Murphy has an-
nounced that the Peace Corps
Placement Test will be ad-
ministered twice this year in
order to accomodate students
who may be interested in the
Peace Corps.
The first test will be given
November 17 at 3:15 p.m. in
room 102 Buttrick Hall. A sec-
ond testing date will be an-
nounced later.
Positions are open for "both
juniors and seniors who have
the necessary qualifications,"
Miss Murphy stated.
Students planning to take the
placement test should pick up
questionnaires in Miss Mur-
phy's office. These questionn-
aires must be completed
before the examination.
The Peace Corps Advanced
Training Program has recently
been developed for college
juniors. This program provides
early training for students who
would like to begin Peace Corps
preparation before graduation
from college.
The program has three phas-
es which include a summer
training program prior to the
senior year, additional study
during the senior year, and a
final training session during
the summer after graduation.
The Advanced Training Pro-
gram included 400 students
in its first session during the
summer of 1964. Participation
should increase this year.
Students who are interested
in this program should contact
Miss Murphy for further in-
formation.
Peace Corps Placement Test
results are used to help find
the most appropriate assign-
ment for each applicant. There-
fore, the test is "non-competi-
tive," and there are no passing
or failing grades.
GENERAL APTITUDE
The General Aptitude Test is
composed of three different typ-
es of problems: verbal, mathe-
matical, and spatial..
The verbal questions require
one to select from five alter-
natives the synonym for a giv-
en word. The mathematical
questions call for one to
solve a problem, stated in a
sentence or two, using proces-
ses generally taught in sec-
ondary school mathematics.
The spatial problems consist
of pictures of piles of blocks
and require one to judge the
number of blocks needed to
make up the pile.
Many of the piles include
blocks which cannoi be seen in
the picture but whose presence
can be inferred from the psoi-
tion o f the other blocks.
MODERN
LANGUAGE
The Modern Language Apti-
tude test is designed to pro-
vide an indication of one's
probable degree of sadness in
learning to speak and to under-
stand a foreign language.
One's score on this test will
depend to some extent on his
knowledge of English voca-
bulary, but the test also mea-
sures sound-symbol associa-
tion ability, sensitivity to gra-
mmar structure, and the rote
memory aspect of the learning
of foreign languages.
FRENCH, SPANISH
These tests are designed to
test mastery of grammar and
vocabulary and one's reading
comprehension ability.
They should be taken by those
having knowledge of the langu-
age. Only one option may be
taken.

Christian Association Cabinet
believes that its purpose as
leaders of the student Chris-
tian Association is to comfront
students with the implications of
Christian principles in light of
the 20th Century.
This entails a deeper under-
standing of the realities of the
Christian faith and of the dy-
namics of this faith as it meets
the problems of our society.
This year we choose to give
priority to four specific prob-
lems, although this is no way
lems, although this in no way
reduces the importance of the
total C. A. program.
A consideration of worship
has led us to the conviction
that there is a need for dis-
c^ rning the basic reality of
Christianity in meaningful
forms of expression.
Seconds, in the area of race
relations we desire to call at-
tention to the necessity for sou-
thern students to understand,
those of different races as indi-
viduals and as members of so-
ciety.
Next, we are concerned that
students often lack a sense of
vocation both in most fully using
the college years and in deter-
mining a long-range direction
for life.
Fourth, since being a Chris-
tian involves participation in
the complex social, economic;
and political issues of the world
we want to explore with students
certain areas of international
affairs.
The next four issues of the
Profile will carry articles ex-
plaining C.A.'s special concern
for these phases of our student
life.

Last Friday the weather was
clear, the air was crisp and
cool and the spectator bleach-
ers were almost full prime
conditions for the first hockey
game.
The "tired old Seniors" huf-
fed their way to best the Jun-
iors, and the Freshmen em-
ployed a vigorous all or nothing
pull to beat the Sophomores. A
great way to let off steam and
unite in a class effortl
The Seniors defeated their
vigorous opponents the Juniors
by a score of one to zero, and
the Sophomores and Freshmen
tied after a running battle with
a deadlock of zero to zero.
Let's take a closer look at
some of the players and events.
The Seniors were off to arous-
ing start in the first half with
a successful follow up drive into
the goal by Peggy Rose.
The Juniors showed strength
and control with the offensive
attack of Judy Ahrano and Alice
Davidson.
Despite the loss of fullback
Patsy Gay in the first half due
to a sprained ankle, the deter-
mined defensive efforts fullback
Betsy Hamner and goalie Jean
Hoefer helped to prevent the
scoring of the Juniors.
A series of about four cor-
ner shots in a row were block-
ed by the Senior defense to hold
the Juniors from hitting paydirt
the second half. The action of the
game was rapid and exciting,
and the zeal of each team was
apparent.
The second game of the day
featured the Sophomores and
the Freshmen. Although neither
team made that all-important
goal, each was in there fighting
all the way.
The ball changed hands re-
peatedly and the teams seemed
pretty equally matched. Parti-
cularly noticeable were the of-
fensive drives of Sophomores
Day Morecock and Linda Coop-
er, and the defensive counter
drives of Frosh Harriet Cross
and Gail Livingston.
FRESHMAN cheerleaders lead

Tennis Pros To Hold Clinic,
Play ASC Doubles Champs
By Lynn Wilkins
Big tennis has finally arrived
on the campus bringing with it
the famous Budge brothers.
They will conduct a clinic and
exhibition onThursday, October
29th at 3:00.
Don Budge is ranked close to
the top in any list of American
tennis players. Some even rate
him before Bill Tilden as the
greatest player in the history
of tennis.
He scored the first grand
slam in tennis by winning the
Wimbeldon, United States,
French, and Australian cham-
pionships in 1938. He received
the triple crown of singles,
doubles, and mixed doubles at
Wimbeldon, in 1937 and 1938.
Budge was ranked number one
for three years, and was top
ranking Davis Cup player. He
was the recipient of the E. C.
Sullivan award for the outstand-
ing amateur athlete in the world.
Don Budge is now a member of
the Tennis Hall of Fame.
His brother Lloyd Budge is a
well-known tennis coach. His
name is associated with such
outstanding players as Bobby
Riggs, Frank Kovacs, and Tony
Trabert. His book Tennis Made
Easy is probably the best sell-
er of its kind in the tennis
world.
Therefore both brothers, who
coach at the Miami Racket Club,
are excellently qualified to help
us learn more about tennis. The
cinic will begin at 3:00. It will
be a critical session on each of
the basic strokes.
At 4:00 the Budge brothers
will provide an exhibition dou-
bles match with two of our own-
Judy Ahrano and Alice Davidson.
So take advantage of this op-
portunity and come on down
Thursday from 3 until 4 o'clock.
This will be an excellent chance
to get out and enjoy our new
courts, which incidentally were
built by the Budge brothers.

Polls Predict Landslide For LB J t
Students Give Presidential Choice
Goldwater
BEVERLY ALLEN
"I'm scared of Goldwater," says the American Coward who
echoes the Democratic propaganda line that Goldwater is a
warmonger. This tired accusation, when tried, is false, not true.
An examination of Goldwater' s pledge and Johnson's past re-
veals which candidate it is who will bring the United States to
defeat by the Soviet Union.
In a Sept. 16 broadcast, Goldwater compared the Soviet Union
to the "Neighborhood bully.'* The more others give in, the more
he terrorizes and triumphs.
However, if someone prepared and determined stands up to him,
he dares not fight. Barry Goldwater has pledged to "face the
bully".
Compare this position with Kennedy's and Johnson's supposedly
peaceful and successful record.
1.) Laos, March 26, 1961; Kennedy promised that Laos would not
be permitted to fall.
Nevertheless, the peaceful "solution" planned by Kennedy and
the Soviets forced Boun Oum, head of the anti-communist govern-
ment, to give cabinet posts to communists.
2) Berlin. July 25, 1961: Kennedy promised that the U.S. would
meet its commitment in Berlin, saying:". ..if there is one path to
war, it is the path of weakness and disunity."
The Berlin Wall was built within the month and the U.S. "met
its commitment" by approving a 600% increase in licenses for
exports to communist countries.
3) Cuba r Oct. 1962: Upon Kennedy's promise that the U.S. would
not try to liberate Cuba, Khrushchev agreed to remove his troops
and missiles.
Kennedy received no real proof that they were removed. Todd,
of the Cuban Information Service declared their presence 30
days after their supposed transfer.
Similar reports followed. Finally, pressured by Keating, the
Senate revealed the 10,000 more troops were present than Kennedy
had admitted.
Kennedy denied rumors of a deal for removal in turn of U.S.
missiles from Turkey and Italy. In Jan. 1963, the Defense Depart-
ment declared these bases outmoded and closed.
4) 1964 : Johnson approved the abandonment of the B-70 and Dyna-
Soar, the closing of 30 bases here and abroad, the closing of the
strategic navy yards in Philadelphia and Boston, the withdrawal
of remaining bombers.
Goldwater warns: "This is not only stagnation, this is Dis-
armament."
If the "Bully" sees disarmament he may also disarm, perhaps
even totally. Why not? he can win anyway due to sheer size.
Soviet troops so greatly outnumber those of the U.S. that they
could overrun and conquer our country.
Goldwater is pledged to gain "Victory over Communism."
Without his championing our rights, the United States faces de-
feat either by war or by submission.
Now as new leaders assume control of the Soviet government,
the United States has a unique opportunity to establish new, firm
foreign policies.
A determined, uncorruptable defender of American liberty has
volunteered to meet the current challenge. Our country's future
depends on the proponent of victory, Barry Goldwater.

Election Returns
Party Planned
In Hub Tonight
Social Council is having a big
election returns party in the Hub
tonight, according to Libby Ma-
lone, Social Council president.
The Hub will be open until one
o'clock, and the night watchman
will walk people back to the
dorms between twelve-thirty
and one. "We want it clear
that you can't be going back and
forth."
When asked about the election
night activities of the Young
Conservatives, Claire Allen
said, "I think it should be a
bipartisan affair." She added
that many of the club's mem-
bers will be working late at
the polls.
Young Democrats president,
Linda Garrett, expressed the
silent sentiments of both
groups. "Of course, if we win,
we'll have a victory party. But
you can't plan something like
that."
Johnson
LINDA LOU COLVARI)
I support Lyndon B. Johnson for the presidency of the United
States of America on the basis of his proved record of public
service and his performance as our country's chief executive
since the tragic events of November 22nd. last.
Mr. Johnson has compiled a record of 24 years of service
in Congress; 12 of the years were spent in the Senate, and for 9
of these Senate years he exercised the forceful role of Majority
Leader. In contrast, Mr. Goldwater has 12 years of Senatorial
experience and has never assumed an impressive role of leader-
ship within that body.
Under Mr. Johnson's leadership as president, Congress has
passed a legislative program unparralleled in its scope for a like
duration of time in history. The result is the tax cut, the Civil
Rights Act of 1964, and anti-poverty legislation in accordance
with Mr. Johnson's proposed war on poverty. Executive influence
has been instrumental in the settlement of a threatened rail strike
and in the maintainance of general prosperity and price stabi-
lity.
In the realm of international affairs, Mr. Johnson has respon-
ded decisively to crises in Panama, Viet Nam, Cyprus, and the
Congo. Indications from allies and opposition alike support the
theory that Mr. Johnson is the respected and responsible lea-
der of a foremost world power. These same nations view the pro-
spect of a Goldwater presidency with reactions that range from
distrust to a very real sense of fear.
Finally, it is necessary to examine the issues of the campaign,
wich I suggest are very real although too seldom debated.
Mr. Johnson insists that nuclear power remain under the sole
control of the chief -executive. Mr. Goldwater suggests some dis-
tribution of this power control among NATO field commanders.
It seems probable to me that the smaller the number of nuclear
spokesmen, the less possibility of confusion which could lead
to error resulting in nuclear holocaust.
Mr. Johnson has proposed a method for re-activating now use-
less and dependent citizens through a program of education
and skills training. He also supports medicare under social
security for aged citizens in order to lessen their economic
dependency and to permit dignity in a condition of need. Mr.
Goldwater opposes such action and brands it socialism. I sub-
mit that it is instead a necessary service of good government.
Mr. Johnson supports aid to education so that a child may ul-
timately be educated to the extent of his ability. Mr. Goldwater
has consistently voted against federal aid to education, and has
suggested that children, for the most part, get along very well
without education.
The Civil Rights issue might well be considered a dead one,
sincL the Civil Rights Act of 1964 is now a law of our land.
However, that does not alter the effect it will have in this elec-
tion on voter sentiment. Since 1956 Mr. Johnson has support-
ed civil rights legislation, and as chief-executive has offer-
ed vigorous leadership in this area. Mr. Goldwater supported
earlier civil rights measures but voted against the 1964
Civil Rights Act. When accused of political opportunism, Mr.
Goldwater repliced that such was an affront to his personal in-
tebrity. Yet he has exploited the issue to its fullest advantage
in the racially charged southland and has as a result gained
the segregation vote while losing almost entirely the Negro
franchise.
Mr. Goldwater sees more and more clearly that theheart of
the problem is immorality and domestic violence. He propos-
es to blame these varied ills on a man who has been president
for 11 months, while at the same time im;lying that his persu-
asive moral leadership will change all of that, purely, I sup-
pose, by his force of character. Such absolutes of good and evil
simply do not exist. And it is, I think, insulting to the intelli-
gence of the vote to base a campaign on such low-level genera-
lities of abstractions.
In contrast to Mr. Johnson's progressive activism, Mr. Gold-
water offers the philosophy of negativism. Much, especially
big government, as he sees it, is bad. It exercises in his view
"creeping socialism." Yet Mr. Goldwater advocates governmen-
tal practices and solutions of a previous century, that are simply
inapplicable in the complexity of the 20th. century society.
The contrast between the candidates is marked; there remains
but the matter of choice. On the basis of his record, performan-
ce in office, and stands on the issues, I support Lyndon John-
son. I believe he has merited election to our nai ion's highest
elective office. One thinks back to that tragic day of last Novem-
ber. Hours after assuming the burdens of the presidency, Lyn-
don Johnson said to his fellow Americans, "I will do my best.
That is all I can do." I for one am well satisfied.

PAGE 2
NOVEMBER 3, 1964
Now That It's Over
Campus participation in the events of the political campaign has
been heartening. We have been interested, active, and informed.
And now what? Will we still check the front pages and editorial
pages of the newspapers to feel out political sentiment?
Will we still view political statements with an eye towards future
consequences?
The President of the United States is everyone's president, no
matter what one's personal feelings may be.
The President is elected by people who favor him, but for four
years the Chief Executive leads all of us.
For the most part, we've acted responsibly during the presidential
campaign. We must CONTINUE to take par; to be informed, and to
air opinions.
It is unfair, unethical, and foolish to take part in a heated cam-
paign, and then to slide back into political apathy after November 3.
We must keep reading the papers. It is not enough to know that
something's rotten in Viet Nam and in Cuba. It is not enough to
catalogue exploits into outer space. We must ask why, when, where,
how, and by whom. We must project effects of political events,
and deal with them with an eye to the best for the largest number of
people.
So let's don't loose ourselves in textbooks again. Whether we
like him or not, each of us has a responsibility to the Chief Execu-
tive. And our nation has immense responsibilities to the world.
School Spirit
School spirit is a nebulous term that everyone uses and no one
bothers to define. It does not consist of going to chapel everyday,
never missing a Black Cat, or wearing your Agnes Scott blazer to
fraternity parties.
What school spirit really consists of is a vital concern for what
Agnes Scott represents as an educational institution, and this in-
cludes the honor system which, good or bad, is a very integral
part of life on this campus.
For the first time campus leaders are really asserting their
views on the rules, which cannot be separated from the honor sys-
tem. These opinions are not being ignored.
Every question has two sides and everyone at Agnes Scott has
decided on which side she places her sympathies. Very few people
are neutral, and in this committment lies the essence of school
spirit.
The administration has heard the views of the campus leaders,
but these represent a relatively small number of students. It
is most important that it can hear from all of the student body.
So express your thoughts on the subject of the rules, the honor
system, or Agnes Scott as an institution, and to somebody other
than your roommate.
This should not be an emotional plea. Every opinion should be
well-founded whether pro or con, and a positive suggestion cer-
tainly means more than a negative one.
In being admitted to Agnes Scott, each of us has been designated
as a superior student and person. Therefore, we are not consid-
ered as totally insignificant nonentities by either staff or adminis-
tration.
The atmosphere of free discussion is a healthy as well as a stim-
ulating one, and on a foundation such as this will Agnes Scott truly
become a great college.

CANDIDATE of jour CHOICE ?P
Communism
Rep. William Miller
Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate
The number one question in the 1964 campaign is: Shall
we continue to preach accommodation of the Communists and
coexistence and thus suffer one defeat after another as we
fight the cold war on the Red's terms; or shall we return to
firmness and bolster the courage of the remaining free world.
The one sure way to prevent war in our time is to n ake sure
The one sure way to prevent war in our time is to it. ike sure
that Communism knows it cannot win a war if it starts one.
Wherever our strength has been applied, the enemy has yield-
ed. And there has been no war as a result I
When our Marines landed in Lebanon in 1958, the world did
not move closer to war. It moved, for a brief moment, closer
to peace.
When our ships blockaded Cuba in 1962 we removed, for all
too brief a moment, a bold Communist threat to the peace.
Sure aggressive moves will plague us again and again if we
do not move resolutely in the future.
Cuba remains Communism's open-door to Latin America.
Zanzibar has been newly opened as a side door to Africa.
Viet Nam threatens to be a revolving door in Southeast Asia.
Indonesia may be a trap door in the same ares.
And, meantime, in the original heartland of freedom itself,
in Europe, our NATO alliance teeters on the edge of disinte-
gration.
If men who share such a heritage of freedom, such a heri-
tage of history and such a history of conviction cannot agree
even upon their common defense against a common enemy then
freedom's cause is sick indeed.
The tragedy is that it need not be! I refuse to believe for an
iistant that the break-up of NATO is inevitable, that the West-
ern powers are doomed by forces of history to split and squab-
ble, to be divided and conquered, that the days of Western civi-
lization are numbered.
It is only Communist theory that reads history that way I
And those who share the reading in any way have lost their

Our generation, our nation, was not bom to sit in easy-chair
silence. The umbrella of false security is not the symbol we

deserve. The plea of "Don't Rock The Boat" is not the slogan
we deserve.
Either we seek the victory of freedom, the peace of freedom
or we are not worthy of the name American.
I implore all those who are concerned, all those who will
listen to ask of the men who propose themselves for the re-
sponsibilities of foreign policy formulation to ask of them a
single question:
Ask what they think of Communism, Ask what they think of
the profound crisis of the soul which produced it. Ask whether
they are prepared to come to terms with it or whether con-
cretely they would oppose it.
Ask and demand an answer to that, for that is the question
of war and peace in our time, It will be the question tomorrow.
It is the question before November. It will be the question after
November but by then it will largely be answered.
Arts Leaders
Support LBJ
One hundred and seventy Lead-
ers in the Arts, Letters and
Humanities today announced
their support of the Johnson-
Humphrey ticket so that "free-
dom of vision and expression
in the arts, letters and ideas
will be assured in our time"
The group is a remarkable
cross section of the most emi-

musical, visual and theatre arts
and related fields. Almost all
are winners of the highest

Although traditionally apolit-
ical, these artists and writers
have joined in a gesture of
support from the arts and let-
ters which is without precedent
in American political history.
They declare:
"President Kennedy estab-
lished, and President Johnson
has continued, a unique and pro-
ductive relationship with writ-
ers; painters; sculptors, archi-
tects, designers; performing
artists; and professionals in
the arts and humanities in the
historic recognition by the Of-
fice of the Presidency of the
fundamental importance of each
and his works to our civiliza-
tion.
"President Johnson, Senator
Humphrey have the desire
and believe in the standards
to enhance this relationship.
This is affirmed by their exe-
cutive and legislative records.
Moreover, they believe that,
in art and idea man achieves
the highest expression of the
human spirit; and that in the
combination of them, our civi-
lization achieves the highest
measure of its excellence".

A caravan of blushing Boston
University maidens, numbered
one to 121, took an adventurous
journey last week into the very
heart of New Hampshire's In-

what lay in store.
At their destination in Han-

Route 10 for signs of the B.U.

each been paired with one of the

The cybernetically inclined

Having heard of a similar so-

questionnaire which asked for
physical statistics, major in-

The information was fed to a
computer which "mated" the
pairs it found potentially the
most compatible.
According to Miss Bloom, the
arrangement proved "very suc-

rock and roll dance, had dinner
and then went to private par-

TOPKAPI
Phaedra Goes To Istanbul,
Or Robbery In The Mosque
by Felicia Guest
"Topkapi" is flickdom's lat-
est suave, continental, and tot-
ally unbelievable adventure
story.
Like 'The Pink Panther,"
this is the story of a slick set
of jewel thieves who are after
a slick set of jewels emer-
alds this time.
Like "From Russia With
Love" the caper comes off in
Istanbul.
Melina Mercouri, Maximilan
Schell, Peter Ustinov, Robert
Morley, and some wierd Turks
comprise this latest collection
of that genre of thieves which
began with Cary Grant in "To
Catch A Thief."
Mercouri hasn't lost one bit
of hervoltage since "Phaedra."
She's stiL Electra-fying, and
every inch the tigress. In "Top-
kapi" she even goes around tell-
ing everybody that she's a nym-
phomaniac, which is perfectly
obvious.
Maximilian Schell, the nerves
-of-steel-type criminal mas-
termind, is, from the first
frame to the last, efficient and
brilliant. In fact he's so effi-
cient that even when his fantas-
tic plot is falling to pieces at
his feet he still has time for
Melina. Hmmmmm.
Peter Ustinov has a bungling
Inspector Clouseau role, and
proves himself infinitely su-
perior to Peter Sellars in inep-
titude performed with aplomb.
He walks off with every single
scene, which isn't easy when
Max and Melina are acting aw-
fully continental together.
The world's greatest char-
acter actor, Akim Tamiroff, is
in 'Topkapi" and that in itself
makes it a great movie. I
couldn't understand a word he
said, but I got the message.
Tamiroff is still as wonderful
as he was in all those old
Egyptian mummy movies. He
just reeks the Near East, and
what would Istanbul be without
Akim Tamiroff?
Maximilian and Company are
after the famed Sultan's Dagger
that everybody goes to look at in
the Hagia Sophia Treasury
Building. It has three egg- sized
emeralds, millions of dia-
monds, etc.
Here's the rub old Hagia
Sophia has this unreal burgular
alarm system. It seems that af-
ter the last tourist slowing sinks
in the west, the alarm system
comes on. Then, every inch of
the floor is wired so that even
the slightest pressure i.e. a
footstep--triggers the alarm.
The only way to get to the
dagger is to fly in. So that's
what the thieves do. Honest. Us-
tinov and Schell lower a wonder
ful mute trapeze artist down
from the dome between revolu-
tions of a big searchlight in the
dark, Ustinov has vertigo at-
tacks at crucial moments, and
well, you know how that story
goes. . .
It's a real throat-constrictor
of a flick, as long as you don't
try to believe any of it.
It's worth seeing because of
Melina Mercouri's clothes (like
green nail polish), Maximilian
Schell's coolness, Ustinov's su-
perb acting, and Akim Tami-
roff's Turkiness.
The shots of Istanbul and the
camera work in general are the
best youll see. And there's this
Turkish style wrestling match,
girls, that you'll just have to
see to believe.
"Topkapi" tries a little too
hard in spots to be clever and
continental, but for the most
part the script is good and the
direction is discriminating.
Go see it, if for no other rea-
son, to see what strange assort-
ments of people they're putting
together in movies these days.
And if you figure out the object
of that wrestling match, let me
know.
Hurry Up
And Wait
(ACP) THE VIEW, Mount St.
Mary's College, Los Angeles,
Calif., has this to say:
Early marriage puts an end
to what is known as the freedom
of youth. So, too, does early
engagement in public affairs.
Of course, if you equate the
freedom of youth with freedom
from everything, then it might
be just as well to make a bee-
line for the homestead or the
marketplace. Better to be in-
volved in some responsibility
than to be just twiddling your
thumbs.
But if it should be that the
freedom of youth is freedom for
something, then it might be just
a little bit unfortunate that so
often it gets thrown away in a
scramble for husbands or hust-
ings.
From what is the freedom of
youth? From marriage and tak-
ing care of society.
For what is the freedom of
youth? For furious debate, ar-
gument, study, reading about the
foundations of marriage and
taking care.
It is not for making up one's
mind and coming to conclusions
and swinging into action. It is
freedom for holding off as long
as possible from care the while
one courses madly through the
arts and sciences, through phil-
osophy and theology, carefree.
No care at all? Care to learn
how to examine all things.
But surely, experience is the
best teacher? True. Yet to bene-
fit from its teaching you must be
an apt pupil, and to be an apt
pupil you must have developed
a mind capable of examining.
Forget the summer roman-
ces, then. Take those national
congresses with a pinch of salt.
Get back into your ivory towers.
The rest can wait.
"Feminine Mystique
Encourages Careers
by Betsy Anderson
Education was the key to
Pandora's box for American
women, says Betty Friedan in
her controversial book, The
Feminine Mystique.
Once happy with making beds,
fixing peanut butter and jelly
sandwiches, and organizing the
PTA and the Scouts, today's
housewife with a college degree
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 goocL
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
\n independent liberal aru college for women oi highest rank
academically, located in the Atlanta metropolitan area
finds these activities not
enough" to fill her life.
Education has caused an "un
named problem," Mrs. Friedan
asserts. Found all over the
country in all communities, it is
driving housewives of above
average intelligence to drink,
psychoanalysts' couches and,
in some cases, to suicide.
Primarily the problem is one
of boredom. Women, in our so-
ciety, are denied the right to de-
velop themselves as individuals
and live only through their hus-
bands and children.
They are manipulated by
Madison Avenue into believing
that using a certain cosmetic,
stove, or brand of toilet paper
is the ultimate; in the words
of one advertiser, "Beyond it
there is nothing."
Housewives substitute sex for
self-actualization, and are dis-
mayed when, because of such
heavy demands on love and
marriage , "there is no excite-
ment, no mystery, sometimes
almost literally nothing hap-
pens."
Finding a husband and keeping
him has become the only goal in
life, says the author. Childbirth
has become woman's only
means of establishing her iden-
tity.
Mrs. Friedan concludes the
discussion with a plea for all
women to become involved in
some professional interest be-
fore and after marriage. This
"career" is not designed to re-
place the husband as the fami-
ly's advocate men's taking the
role of housekeeper. Only with
the demands of professional
work, however, can one develop
the potentialities of self, she
suggests.
The book will be discussed in
chapel Thursday by Mrs. Allen
S. Hardin, president of the Jun-
ior League of Atlanta and a
member of the Class of 1956
at Sarah Lawrence. With her
will be Mrs. Rhodes L. Perdue,
a 1950 graduate of Vassar.
The book is available in the
bookstore.

you met it especially last week
with the deluge of midquarter
tests and papers. But some of
the happiest folk on campus can
testify that a little recreation-

all go better for the week.
Let's see what goes on in
this area of campus activity.

there was a pumpkin shoot in
honor of that great "trick or

After having dessert and

Then Thursd< / manyScotties
turned out for the Budge broth-

All seemed to join in the fun

Judy Ahrano and Alice David-

The following day on Friday
the hockey teams were the high-

The Sophomores were a jubi-

in Atlanta last February, to all
college campuses in Georgia.
Twenty-eight students from ten
schools attended, according to

er registration, were shown.
Joe Hendricks, dean of men at

C.A. Takes Stand
On Race Relations
Q. What position does C. A.
Cabinet take on race relations?
A. It is our conviction that
as Christian students we are
compelled to encourage and to
work for understanding and ac-
ceptance of individuals of all
races.
Because of our situation in
the South, we wish to provide
opportunities for contact bet-
ween white and Negro stud-
ents and for projects which aid
in the solution of community
problems.
Q. Are there any activities
by which C. A. supports this
position?
A. Due to our realization that
there are many variedmeans of
expression in this area, we sup-
port those students in any act-
ivity who are honestly seek-
ing more understanding re-
lationships between persons of
different races.
However, in our program we
have fostered the following op-
portunities for inter-racial
contacts:
(1) . Inter Collegiate Council
where students from all Atlanta
colleges and universities dis-
cuss current issues.
(2) . Conferences in which both
white and Negro students parti-
cipate.
(3) . The proposed exchange
between Agnes Scott and Spel-
man.
For those interested in more
active participation in the At-
lanta community, the follow-
ing projects are or have been
available:
(1.). A tutorial society for
white and Negro elementary
school students.
(2). A proposed group for
exploring in conjunction with the
Greater Atlanta Council on Hu-
man Relations the urban hous-
ing problem of racially mixed
neighborhoods.
(3.). A project for clearing
a playground which was equip-
ped by the city for use by
Negro children.
C. A. Cabinet is very much
aware of the fact that the raci-
al situation is changing.
For this reason we will con-
tinue to examine our program
and to investigate new opport-
unities for action. We welcome
any suggestions from the stu-
dent body.

Speaking
by Sandy Prescott
President Johnson has re-
ceived official notice from the
new Soviet Leadership of its
continued efforts toward world
peace.
In spite of Khrushev's dis-
missal, American national po-
litics and the war in Viet
Nam have maintained their hold
on newspaper headline space.
The President and his ad-
visors held an emergency ses-
sion the week-end following the
dismissal, but no dramatic an-
nouncement ensued.
We may conclude from all
these indications that althought
we may regret the loss of '01
Nik, we need not fear his suc-
cessors.
I've surmised that the rea-
sons behind the change in the
Soviet Union certainly will not
lead directly to an American
paradise. Kosygin seem to be
more "patiotic" and more sin-
cerely Communist than their
predecessor, Mr. Khruschev,
Such an attitude will force
Americans to re-evalute their
country's ideals and their own
political interests. President
Johnson has called the months
ahead as a time for Americans
to "forget the differences and to
unite with one mind".
LB*J Wins Landslide Vietorife
Georgia Goes For Goldwater
by Sandy Prescott
Election night, 1964. This
was a climax of a long, hot
summer and fall of campaign-
ing in the United States. People
vVho Know have called the
Barry-LBJ choice one of the
most emotional, personality-
tinged, and temper-frayed po-
litical battles ever.
The city desk of The Atlanta
Constitution, a place which had
been in the midst of the cam-
paign, was in no way a reflec-
tion of this political tension.
For most of the evening it
was suggestive of a parlor
where friends and relatives are
assembled while the priest ad-
ministers last rites to a mem-
ber of the community.
Expecting excitement from
the news room of a large metro-
politan morning newspaper on
any evening, I was puzzled that
the atmosphere should be so dull
on election night.

covered that the usual publicity-
seeking candidates were any-
where else that publicity could
be sought.
Atlanta's radio and
television had stayed away from
the hectic confusion of the city
news room of past election
nights.
Another reason for the calm
was the character of the early
national returns, coming over
the teletype.
There was such
an obvious landslide trend for
Johnson from the beginning, that
at 9:20 (EST), just a little over
two hours after the polls closed
in the East, the lead stories
began coming in acclaiming vic-
tory for the Democrats.
The only possible excitement
left was the results of the Geor-
gia voting.
At 9:30, with most
of the state's precincts yet to
report, there was a deathly air
about except for an occasional
whisper-yell of "Copyl" todis-
turb the stillness.
As Georgia began reporting,
the People Who Cared were not
too happy at all. The calm in
the news room became depress-
ing in contrast to the quiet
confidence about the national
returns.
When asked about the pros-
pects, editor Eugene Patterson
replied tersely, ' It's close.'
The most progressive, na-
tionally respected state in the
South was lumping itself with
its Civil War sisters, a situ-
ation which men like Patterson
have fought doggedly to avoid
for decades.
The more casual observers,
in the news room tried to "hope
and dream" that the late re-
turns of the metropolitan and
nothern parts of the state would
off-set the solidly Republican
voting of the area below Ma-
con, in the Heart of Georgia.
Mr. Patterson realistically
saw little hope for that, even
with Johnson at points closing
the gap between him and Mr.
Goldwater.
Governor Carl Sanders
whose political future was con-
sidered staked on his predic-
tion that Goldwater would lose
Georgia by 50,000 to 100,000
votes, could not be reached on
the phone.
Barry Goldwater finally car-
ried Georgia (along with Loui-
siana, Mississippi, Alabama,
South Carolina, and Arizona,
his home state) by over 75,000
votes, the first time in history
that the state has gone Repub-
lican.
The reaction to both national
and state returns combined to
keep the emotion of the news
room stable. Neither partisan
could be completely happy.
The most jubilant voice was
the young man who won the of-
fice pot by projecting Gold-
water in Georgia by 71,000
votes.
But, then, he had played
it smart by also signing under
the LBJ column, 140,000 votes I
By midnight, the Constitution
had settled down to its routine
pitch. The first deadline was
12:15. Telephones began ring-
ing more often with precinct
reports.
Each desk was now
occupied by a busy writer,
whereas before there had only
clusters of people here and
there.
Even the teletype area was
deserted; only occasionally
someone strolled over to take
a look.
There was a puzzling
moment, almost interest, as
the AP wire was suddenly re-
cording Johnson with a slight
lead in South Carolina. The
correction soon ticked in over
the wires.
The election was virtually
over. The morning Constitution
would be on the streets at
dawn, only slightly changed
from the early morning and four
-star editions.
Greater excitement in the city
news room will probably be
found in the aftermath of the
election, as the nation regroups
itself.
The grassroots of American
politics may face a harder de-
cision than whom to vote for,
as it tries to channel the emo-
tion which gave such decisive
victory and defeat in the elec-
tion.

CA.'s 'Meddling'
In a time when it's often more fruitful to avoid taking an un-
equivocal stand on controversial issues, the Agnes Scott Chris-
tian Association cabinet has taken a no-compromise position on
the issue of racial relations.
"It is our conviction that as Christian students we are com-
pelled to encourage and to work for the understanding and ac-
ceptance of individuals of all races," the resolution passed
unanimously by the 13-member board in mid-October begins.
The move came at a time when the campus was hotly divided
on political issues. It was also at a time when the financially-
independent organization faced economic problem after a dis-
appointing response to its annual pledging service, and at a
time when some students were already criticizing the involve-
ment of Christian Association in inter-racial groups.
Hence, since the resolution was clearly a harder road for the
cabinet to choose, it is especially significant.
There were two primary points of contention in the discussions
leading to the resolution's being adopted.
One was the desire of some cabinet members not to condone
activities of any particular civil rights group. This wish was
wisely respected in the resolution which was passed.
*>
The other issue was the almost-certain alienation of students
who had expressed the opinion that Christian Association ought
to confine its programs to those of a religious nature and not
meddle in "politics." Inevitably, the question was raised, "How
can we afford to offend these people?"
The cabinet, however, took the position that "in light of our
conviction to Christian principles, we can't afford NOT to take
such a stand." Furthermore, in last week's Profile, the group
outlined the program it would follow in the area of promoting
wholesome racial relations.
It is particularly appropriate that a board charged with dee-
pening the committment of the student body to the Christian
faith should take a positive and constructive stand on one of
the major problems facing Americans today.
The decision made by the Christian Association cabinet is a
noteworthy and commendable one.
Anxiety-Prone
The Daily Progress of Scottsdale, Arizona, quotes a University
of Illinois psychologist as saying that newspaper editors and
writers have the highest anxiety level of any professional group in
the nation. What is surprising is that second place goes to the Navy
underwater-demolition experts.

What Is Honor?
This fall a problem is being studied on our campus which, al-
though it has appeared before, has never been considered in such
depth.
This problem is concerned with what many have referred to
as the "essence" of Agnes Scott - the Honor System.
Many students are questioning the ethic of our honor system as
it has never before been questioned. It must be admitted that these
questions are concerned with the social rules which are a part of
the system.
There is a feeling that the social rules do not reflect a universal
Christian ethic.
In the context of Agnes Scott social life we are not given an
opportunity for growth and choice, although we are given such an
opportunity in the academic realm.
Many students agree that the situation as stated above does
exist - and that it is detrimental to the effectiveness of the whole
Honor System.
There are others who feel that the social rules as they now stand
should not prevent the student from committing herself to the
basic concept of honor here at Agnes Scott.
It is obvious that there is a major difference in the two con-
ceptions of honor. In the first conception, honor is impossible
without a committment to the practical applications of the Honor
System - i.e. the rules.
These students have found that they can commit themselves to -
and believe in - the ethic of the academic system, but not the so-
cial.
The second theory asserts that our honor is involved in making a
promise - in signing the pledge to act in conformity with the rules
set down for us.
The concept of keeping a promise is a universal ethical promise.
Therefore if we commit ourselves to the keeping of the promise,
no conflict should arise concerning obedience to particular rules.
Those who are concerned about the future of Agnes Scott have
spent much time and thought in honestly examining our honor sys-
tem.
The conclusions at which they have arrived are sound ones. They
have searched their own minds and (hopefully) have listened to the
ideas of others.
These individuals, however, represent only a part of the Agnes
Scott student body. The rest of us can and should examine this very
crucial problem for ourselves.
It cannot be solved without the intelligent participation of the
entire student body.
The 1964 Honor Emphasis Committee has planned its program
around a re-evaluation of the Honor System.
It should be an honest effort to see the Honor System as it is -
and to try to strengthen it in the best way possible.
This week we are given an opportunity to think, to speak - and
above all to listen to the thoughts of others.
This is a unique opportunity. It requires thought and a sincere
evaluation by every individual in the community.
Enrollment
Up 5 Million
CINCINNATI (CPS)-- Enroll-
ment in the nation's college and
universities this year may ap-
proach 5 million students, up
one-half million from last, ac-
cording to University of Cin-
cinnati registrar Garland G.
Parker.
Parker based his pre-
diction on reports from approxi-
mately 600 institutions asked to
indicate increases, no change,
or decreases in enrollment.
The freshman count will show
the largest percentage increase
of this decade and may be as
much as 15% or even more,
Parker said.
"While freshmen provide the
drama in the enrollment scene
this year," he said, "the full-
time students play a heavy sup-
porting role. Of 33 large public
institutions reporting 'Xin the
full-time category, all Showed
increases ranging up to per-
cent."
'The increase-decrease pat-
tern in both freshman and full-
time students suggests not only
that many of the small liberal
arts colleges could accommo-
date no more students but also
the continued drift of a higher
proportion of students into the
large public and private
schools," said Parker.
NSA Calls For
Freedom Fast
PHILADELPHIA (CPS) The
United States National Student
Association (USNSA) is ask-
ing the nation's college students
to skip one meal next month in
order to send food to indigent
negroes in the South.
The program, called Thanks-
giving Fast For Freedom, calls
for students with prepaid meal
contracts to abstain voluntarily
from one dinner meal on Nov-
ember 19, the money being used
to buy food.
Last year food was shipped to
families in six Mississippi
towns. The fast's sponsors hope
to expand the program. Plans
presently call for shipping part
of the food to the McComb area
where a number of Negro
churches and businesses were
destroyed recently during a
period of racial unrest.
The food, mostly preser-
ved meat and dried milk, was
distributed to 600 families
by the Council of Federation
Organizations (COFO), which
directed this summer's voter
registration drive in Mississ-
ippi. Each family received a
on -week supply.
Last year, an estimated
17,000 students at 42 schools
participated in the fast. Some
$10,250 was raised and used
to purchase more than 80,000
pounds of food a. wholesale pri-
C s.
Student governments at indi-
vidual schools are being asked
to direct the drive on their cam-
puses.

Students Approve Honor System Ideal
by Marilyn Little
Every year there is an offi-
cial week set aside to study,
discuss, and appraise the Honor
System and its values.
As part of background work
for Honor Emphasis Week this
year, we took a limited poll,
a cross-section of the student
body. Asking some frank ques-
tions, we received some even
more frank and thoughtful an-
swers.
These answers reveal a per-
ceptive awareness of the prob-
lems an Honor System at Agnes
Scott must face. Yet they ex-
press an overwhelming vote of
approval and support for the
Ideal of an Honor Sustem.
The first question involved
whether or not the girls thought
the Honor System an effective
one for maintaining the acade-
mic and social standards which
are imposed.
JOHNSON
Sophomore Susan Johnson:
"The system is ideal. ..How-
ever, it is based on the assump-
tion that we are all mature
enough to be trusted with the
responsibility of governing our-
selves...(Any) flaw in the Hon-
or System lies...within the in-
dividual girl."
BROWN
May Cameron Brown, Sen-
ior: 1 The Agnes Scott Honor
System- the most effective hon-
or system that I know of in any
educational institution. . .We
students gain a personal respect
from being allowed to use our
integrity - from being trusted."
system it seems to me a new
and more concentrated effort
should be made with the fresh
men classes to impress upon
them the necessity of living un-
der such a system and how this
system, when effective, is con-
ducive to the well-being of the
entire college community."
STUBBS
Kathy Stubbs, Sophomore: "In
my personal experience I have
discovered that although it is
hard and painful at times to
live by the Honor System, es-
pecially when we have to admit
we have abused the freedom
afforded by it, it is more than
worth it."
SANDERSON
Laura Sanderson, Senior:
. it can only be as effective
as we, the students, will make
it. . ."
Question #2: Do you feel more
commitment to the Honor Sys-
tem in the academic realm
than in the social realm?
LANDRUM
Susan Landrum, Junior: "I
see nothing wrong with the sys-
tem as it is now set up... Rath-
er than trying to find a better
JOYCE
Marge Joyce, Senior: "Yes...
the basis of this difference of
respect for honor in these two
areas is that students find them
quite different in their reason-
ableness
...the social standards
set by our college are frequent-
ly not those of the girls. (But)
such a difference in regard for
these two areas of policy under
the Honor System does not nec-
essarily mean that standards in
the social realm are disregard-
ed...
...few of us realized the import
of the pledge when it was sign-
ed."
BARNWELL
Sandra Barnwell, Senior: "No
...(although) what is and is not
acceptable in an honorable way
of life seems to be more sharp-
ly defined and universally held
in the academic realm than in
the social realm."
SYMROSKI
Barby Symroski, Junior: "No
...A student can disagree with
some of Scott's rules, but still
feel a deep appreciation and
support of the Honor System and
the atmosphere it generates...
Simply because lam so wholly
for the Honor System and its
freedom and trust, I accept and
comply with the college's
rules."
May Cameron Brown, "Yes...
I think this is true of the ma-
jority of students. It's the old
story of feeling that cheating,
lying, etc. are not on the same
level with drinking, smoking,
and visiting apartments...
For most people cheating is
out of the question, where as
drinking may be a normal part
of their lives."
Laura Sanderson: "Yes...
BUT... as persons of honor and
integrity we have agreed to live
by these standards though they
may not be the standards that
we will choose when away from
Scott."
MORECOCK
Day Morecock, Sophomore:
"No... both are equally in-
volved in the Honor System in
my thinking, as both are nec-
essary parts of living in a com-
munity...! feel equal commit-
ment.''
HART
Mary Hart, Sophomore: "I
feel equally commited...After
all, my honor is my honor and I
am pledged to both, regardless
of whether it's social or acade-
mic."
3.) Would you say that al-
though the system could and
should be effective, it is not
because of the way it it is pre-
sented...?
Mary Hart: The honor system
is presented under the assump-
tion that everyone realizes what
pledging one's honor means. It
seems to me we should discuss
first things first and then at-
tempt to explain Scott's Honor
System.
Barby Symroski: It is effec-
tive. ..but there's always the
need of finding a way to make
it more effective. This way
lies... in the Honor System it-
self in the actual attempt to
establish an ideal in a dynamic
relationship with this relative
world...in order to better the
Honor System, let's constant-
ly take a new look at the indi-
vidual and her changing environ-
ment, without taking our eyes
off the ideal.
Sandy Barnwell: (In its pres-
entation, ).. it must be stressed
that the Honor System is a way
of life for a close-knit commun-
ity and not merely a set of rules.
Marge Joyce: (It has become)
...a vicious circle. The more
dissatisfaction with the rules,
and therefore disregard of our
Honor System in the social
realm, the harder it is for any
group which represents our
Honor System to make a dent
in the mood of the entire stu-
dent body. I think that our stu-
dent body has reached this point.
May C.;...any failure in the
honor system is a result of the
habits, beliefs, and ethics of the
student body.
Kathy Stubbs: I think the
freshmen should know what the
school's policies are drinking,
apartments, etc. before they get
accepted...
4.) Do you feel that the Honor
System makes a significant and
positive difference in the at-
mosphere of Agnes Scott.?
Barby: Boy, I certainly do I
(Having attended other univer-
sities) I can really see that the
Honor System makes a Very
significant and positive diffe-
rence in a campus community.
Reason? At Agnes Scott the in-
dividual is trusted...
Marge: ...I have felt that those
who regard the Honor System
negatively are rapidly increas-
ing at our college, and those
who do respect the Honor Sys-
tem in all areas of their lives
at Scott, in spite of annoying
regulations, are becoming less
effective in tiieir influence on
those who do not share their high
regard for our Honor System.
Sandra: I believe the concept
of honor as both individual and
collective as framed in the Hon-
or System has a positive in-
fluence on the lives of the girls
who live under this svstcm)...
Susan L. : . . . it makes a
significant difference, but I
think this difference could be
much more positive than it is.
May C. ...our Honor System
does help create a positive,
unique atmosphere not shared
by many college students.
The responsibility required
by the Honor System builds the
personal integrity of the stu-
dents, and does, consequently,
make a positive difference in die
atmosphere 0 f the college.
Mary Hart: Any time there is
an agreement of trust between
people, either academic or so-
cial, these people become closer
and more willing to work togeth-
er. When the system fails a
part of Scott fails which I con-
sider to be very important, that
being a mutual trust and a sense
of responsibility.
These are the opinions of
several Agnes Scott Students.
We leave you to draw your own
conclusions but we encourage
you to come to the various
events of Honor Emphasis week
to hear other opinions and to
express your own. *
The Honor System is integ-
ral to Agnes Scott, but only the
students can make it vital.

Best-Deked
by Nancy Ca rmichael
Last Friday, the day of the
Dek- Your- Dorm Contest, many
dashed around madly making
beds and throwing clothes be-
hind chairs. It was the after-
noon that changed the entire ap-
pearance of our home-away-
from *-home.
At 3:00 the judges, Miss Rich-
ardson, Miss Murphy, Mrs.
Turner, and Mrs. McCracken,
viewed the dorms and cottages.
They finally chose Rebekah as
the most attractively decorated
dorm and Alexander as the best
cottage.
In each dorm and cottage one
room was picked as the most
outstanding room. The following
rooms were selected:
Hardeman, room 4, Pam Hol-
lands and Susan Sleight;
Sturgis, room 7, Gail Savage
and Adelia McNair;
Alexander, room 2, Cathy
Centorbe, and Cathy McAulay;
Walters, room 204, Suzanne
Mallory and Carol Davenport;
Winship, room 313, Ginger
Martin and Ellen King;
Inman, room 323, Penny Pen-
land and Justice Waldrop;
Hopkins, room 200, Cathi
Ford and Cathy Ridgeway;
Rebekah, room 219, Beverly
Allen;
Main, room 218, Judy Nuckols
and Marilyn Abendroth.
It is hoped that the refresh-
ing neatness displayed in the
dorms last Friday will inspire
a repeat performance.

Guidance Office Plans
Increase In Program
by Rosalind Todd
Miss lone Murphy has an-
nounced that the guidance office
will increase its activities this
year to aid Agnes Scott stu-
dents in finding vocational
fields.
A vocational questionnaire
has been sent to the student
body by Christian Association.
The questionnaire contained
questions about the student's
major, interests, and career
choices to obtain information
Group Studies
Education
For LBJ
WASHINGTON (CPS) A sec-
ret task force has been hard at
work since August preparing a
comprehensive report on edu-
cation for President Johnson*
The report will deal with
problems of education at all
levels from a national point of
view. President Johnson has
said that the report would form
the basis "for the course that
we will recommend that the na-
tion follow" if re-elected.
Neither the report nor the
names of the task force mem-
bers will be made public until
after the election. The chair-
man of the task force is John
Gardner, President of the Car-
negie Foundation.
The task force on education
is one of eleven such groups the
President has formed. The oth-
ers are in the fields of agricul-
ture, foreign economic policy,
government organization, met-
ropolitan affairs, intragovern-
mental fiscal relations, natural
beauty, natural resources, re-
ducing costs, sustaining pros-
perity, and transportation.
Faculty members and ad-
ministrators from the nation's
colleges and universities re-
portedly form a large part of
the membership of these task
forces.
President Kennedy had 29
similar task forces helping him
prepare his policy proposals in
1960 before his inauguration*
for planning a program of vo-
cational interest.
In connection with this, plans
have been made for meetings
twice a quarter for students
considering a church - related
vocation.
Also included in the plans of
the guidance office is a meet-
ing of student leaders and the
chairman of the vocational guid-
ance committee for alumnae.
The committee will planaseries
of programs to meet the needs
of Agnes Scott students.
To study these needs the
guidance office plans to issue a
career newsletter, which it has
not done in the past few years.
By this means they plan to re-
activate the channel of com-
munication between the office
and the students.
Another plan is to approach
all classes for a report on the
students' summer work experi-
ences.
'This program will
be a real value for students to
tell them what they can expect
in the way of summer experi-
ences," said Miss Murphy.
All students interested in tak-
ing the examination should pick
up questionnaires in Miss Mur-
phy's office. These question-
naire should be completed be-
fore the test.

New French Teachers
Note Academic Standards
by Peggy Porter
The ' high academic stan-
dards here" came in for com-
ment by the three new French
instructors when interviewed
recently.
Other comments about the
school ranged from 'The girls
are very intelligent" to "I like
very much everything about it"
when Odette Marguerite Mor-
phy, Sue Sexton Trotter, and
Claire M. Hubert were asked
about their impressions so far.
Mrs. Trotter, who received
her B.A. degree at Wellesley
College, said she found "a great
deal of similarity between the
two schools" and an "excel-
lence both places".
Mrs. Trotter also studied in
Grenoble, France, where she
received the Certificatd'etudes
francaises.
gree at fcmory was ivirs. Hu-
bert, who did her undergraduate
work at Duke University and
then studied in France in 1957-
58 on a Fulbright Fellowship at
the University of Aix-Mar-
seille.
Mrs. Morphy, who is from
France, received the Diplome
1'Ecole des Societies Savantes
in Paris and her M. A. at Emory.
All three women have taught
before, Mrs. Trotter teaching
here last fall quarter, and Mrs.
Hubert teaching at Oglethorpe
and Emory.
Rabbi's View
The Rev. Dr. Israel Margolies, New York rabbi, commenting on
participation of clergymen in political discussion: "Since politics
is the main means by which a democratic society determines its
character and goals, it is incumbent upon everyone, including and
especially the religious leader, to involve himself in the political
affairs of his country and to speak and act on all public issues."
National Review.
University Ignores
Red-Tinged Group
ALBUQUERQUE, New Mexi-
co (CPS) University of New
Mexico President Tom L. Pope
joy has announced his school
will not extend recognition to
any organization which the FBI
has charged is Communist-
tinged.
Pope joy issued the state-
ment although he conceded that
the organization concerned, the
W. E. B. DuBois Club, has
not made an application to be
recognized as a student group.
The club, which contends it
is a socialist and not a Com-
munist organization, was re-
cently formed in Albuquerque,
the bulk of its membership
being university students.
Popejoy said his decision was
based on a report last week in
a bulletin by FBI Director J.
Edgar Hoover that the national
DuBois group is a "Communist-
spawned Marxist youth organi-
zation."
"I admit the usual procedure
for turning down an application
is after it is received," Pope-
joy said. He added that the ad-
ministration decided to make its
statement only after it appear-
ed the group would seek affili-
ation.
The existence of the Albuque-
rque chapter was revealed by
publication of a letter by James
Kennedy, club president, in the
University of New Mexico stu-
dent newspaper, the Lobo. Ken-
nedy commented on a Lobo
editorial which said that cer-
tain forms of socialism are
needed in the United States.
After the publication of the
letter, the two Alburquerque
daily newspapers reported in
front page news stories the
existence of an organization
called "Communist-spawned"
by Hoover.
The local press also repor-
ted that the Lobo will carry a
left-wing column by Kennedy.
A Lobo editorial staff member
said he had arranged with Ken-
nedy for the column before
any controversy had arisen and
that it still would be carried.
Popejoy indicated he would
take no action to prevent the
publication of Kennedy's col-
umn.
Mrs. Morphy has taught in
the public schools and on educa-
tional television here and at
Emory.
>he is married to an
engineer and has lived in At-
lanta for ten years. Mrs. Trot-
ter, who showed a lively interest
in the Scott honor system, has
been married to a practicing At-
lanta attorney for two and a half
years.
Mrs. Hubert is also married
to an Atlanta attorney and has
two children, a boy five and a
girl three.
He said any such action
would have to originate in the
Board of Student Publications
and that he did not anticipate
it materializing.
Kennedy did not indicate what
action, if any, his group would
take toward university affilia-
tion, but he asked Popejoy if the
Attorney General's list of sub-
versive organizations should
not be used rather than Hoo-
ver's directives as a criterion
for rejecting applications.
Popejoy said, in effect, that
he would leave the door open to
the group, and if additional
information shows Hoover's re-
port to be inaccurate, the Du-
Bois Club still may be recogn-
ized.
Kennedy scored Hoover's
statement in an article pub-
lished Friday in the Lobo, say-
ing his group of merely so-
cialistic and not connected with
the Communist Party.

"NSA's aim is to give stu-
dents an opportunity to be in-
volved in the democratic pro-
cess.
"One of NSA's important as-
pects is that unlike other na-
tional student unions, NSA is
neither subsidized nor control-
led by the US government; it is
entirely student-run.
"Students are involved in a
microcosm of U.S. Govern-
ment."
So says Jean Hoefer, whore-
presented Agnes Scott at the
Annual NSA Convention this
summer.
STEPHEN ROBINS, President
of the United States National
Student Association, 1964 - 65.
(CPS photo)
The NSA Convention was held
on campus at the University of
Minnesota. Eugene McCarthy,
Democratic Senator from that
state, spoke at the opening
meeting.
Among the important accom-
plishments of the Convention
were these:
(1.) NSA legislated program
mandates for individual col-
leges, helping the schools exe-
cute such projects as Tutorial
Programs.
(2.) A recommendation was
made that states set up bette r
programs to care for migratory
farm laborers, including a pro-
gram to train these farmwork-
ers in skilled labor.
NSA recommended that states
initiate these programs with
financial aid from the federal
government.
(3.) A basic policy declara-
tion was made that fraternities
and sororities put an end to
clauses pertaining to discri-
mination in their constitutions.
(4.) NSA resolved that the
Mississippi Freedom Demo-
cratic Party be seated along
with the Regular Democratic
Party in Mississippi at the
Democratic National Conven-
tion.
This resolution was a com-
promise, because some mem-
bers of the convention did not
want to name a specific party
in the legislations.
After NSA delegates legis-
late these mandates and re-
commendations, they are sent to
schools, to the President of
the United States, to Congress-
men, and to Federal Commit-
tee Heads.
Jean Hoefer says that this is
a winning point for NSA; NSA
has never officially attended
their conventions, and it af-
firms the prestige of NSA that
Iron Curtain students attended
this convention.
Again on the international
level, NSA ratified the charter
for the International Student
Congress.
This is a new international
student group. The International
Union of Students, a previous
international body, has been
taken over by communists.
Due to her leadership, Agnes
Scott was placed in a position
of Southern leadership at the
Convention.
Jean Hoefer says that this will
help Scott in receiving more
attention from the NSA national
office.
She stresses the fact that
NSA's effectiveness depends
upon how much students sup-
port it, and how much they in-
volved themselves in NSA's
work.
It is in this way that NSA
makes its voice heard to those
in executive positions in gover-
nment.
This year proved that al-
though NSA is a predominant-
ly liberal body, both liberal
and conservative elements can
exist side by side. The voice
of the conservative faction is
being heard, and is effective.
She also points out that the
tendency toward direct action
and demonstration is waning
in NSA.
There is now a more conser-
vative civil rights platform.
NSA tends, instead, towards
long-range programs such as
tutorial projects, programs to
send books to schools that need
them in order to be accredited,
and student exchange programs.
But she also points out that
Scott doesn't take the respon-
sibility it should in the South.
We should be active in the
area of exchange programs with
other southern schools in order
to broaden the prespectives of
the southern students.
"We warrant leadership
and we ought to accept it. Agnes
Scott people tend to become
complacent.
"And the South is poverty-
stricken in solid, intelligent
leadership."
This year NSA had an in- National Anthem.
ternational flavor. Delegates
from 15 foreign national student .
groups spoke at the Convention. tvBpiQCG DODIOS

sion. The meeting was held August 16 -27 at the University

Several of the NSA legisla-
tions that were made in Au-
gust pertain to southern
schools: ,
NSA made constitutional
changes to promote more tra-
veling on southern campuses, in
order to get the South back into
NSA.
This recommendation will
give Southerners a better per-
spective of the South, and of
student opinion all over the na-
tion.
It will also train southern stu-
dent leaders to present the sou-
thern viewpoint intelligently
and effectively.
NSA founded the Student Or-
ganization Committee to work
on white southern campuses.
SOC will lead white southern
students to discuss southern
college issues, and will help get
these white students into a dia-
logue with Negro students.
Jean Hoefer organized, in-
troduced, and led the floor fight
for SOC and for the Traveling
On Southern Campuses legis-
lations.
Jean Hoefer says that an im-
portant trend in NSA came to
light at the August Convention:
Also, for the first time ob-
servers attended the conven-
tion from behind the Iron Cur-
tain.
She adds that Scott is better
off than most southern cam-
puses because we are looked
to for leadership in the South.
With Grain
College Fraternities Sign
Non-Discriminatory Oath
NEW YORK (CPS) All
sixteen social fraternity cha-
pters at Columbia University
have complied with the school's
requirement that they file a
"Declaration of Non-Discri-
minatory Practices," although
one house had to disaffili-
ate from its national organi-
zation in order to do so.
The local chapter of the Sig-
ma Chi fraternity found it
necessary to resign from the
national fraternity. The resign-
ation was accepted, effective
Oct. 1, 1964, by Harry V. Wade,
national president ofSigma~Chi.
The requirement was origin-
ally stated as a university po-
licy in 1953, with the date
for compliance set as Oct. 1,
1960, and later extended to Oct.
1, 1964.
The prohibition would not ap-
ply to "a student group that is
organized in good faith for de-
votional purposes or for the
study or prpoagation of a re-
ligious faith."
The university said that af-
ter this date "no fraternity,
social organization, or other
student group shall be permit-
ted to function on the univer-
sity campus if it is com-
pelled by its constitution, ritu-
als, or government to deny
membership to any person be-
cause of his race, creed, color,
or nation origin."
The University also required
that alumni organizations re-
sponsible for the local chapt-
ers, and the national organiza-
tions of the fraternities, join
in the "Declaration of Non-Dis-
criminatory Practices."
While the Supreme Court is
about to commence worrying
about "under God" in the pledge
of allegiance, at least one Con-
gressman was worried enough
about our national anthem to
suggest getting rid of it.
In the last Congress one lone
bill was introduced, referred
to committee, and forgotten to
dump "The Star Spangled Ban-
ner" as America's national an-
them. It's about time.
Anyone who is put in a posi-
tion of having to sing the
thing must find it an embarrass-
ment. The song has a two-and-
a-half octave range that would
strain the voice of a John Mc-
Cormack.
Its second and third
verses are grounds for sever-
ance of diplomatic relations
between Britain and the U. S.
Overall, it is a sabrerattling in-
sult to a great nation.
The Congressman's substi-
tute? "America the Beautiful.
"What better patriotic song than
one which emphasizes "amber
waves of grain" instead of
"bombs burstin in air?" Let
us hope that the next Congress
adopts this bill.

Sophomores Win Swim Meet;
Judson Ouiptuys Scotties
"Ring, and they're off." A
hoard of hungry feet descend
on the green as competitive
Scotties pad the blades on their
way to the dining hall.
Once again class is out, lunch
is the key thought, and the short-
est distance between two points'
is a well-worn line on the turf
of the quad.
But a brief consideration of
the respective merits of a voy-
age via grass or via brick will,
I believe, suggest the latter as
the better route. Little orno
time is gained by the geometric,
grasshopper tactics, and the
campus emerges more greenly
endowed if one follows her more
conventional sisters on the cob-
blestones.
So please pause a moment
as you direct your course to
Letitia Pate after that 12:10
class. Resist the urge to des-
cend like locusts on the vulner-
able sod.
This will aid the A, A. member
who has long been in an un-
comfortable position of sup-
pressing her yell, "Off the
grass," and it will put all in an
equal line-up for the race for
lunch.
And besides who knows
but that the grass will grow
there again. Thanks very muchl
Now on to more positive as-
pects of the athletic world. On
Saturday, October 31, a group
of 13 Scotties journeyed to Ju-
son College in Marion, Ala-
bama.
The purpose of this ex-
ecursion was a hockey game be-
tween A 'ik s Scott and Judson.
This was a return bout which
followed the visit of Judson Col-
lege to our campus last fall.
The score of that encounter had
been dead locked at 0-0, so both
teams were ready to match wits
again this year.
Betsy Hamner, the organizer
of the Scott end of the game,
gives this account of the day.
The travel-worn Scotties un-
folded themselves from the cars
after the drive, and were on the
field in little time.
A goal by Judson early in the
first half of the game roused
the Scott team to retaliate de-
terminedly with a goal of their
own. Georgia Gillis was the ini-
tiator of this successful A.S.C.
bid for pay dirt.
But the Scotties were not able
to prevent the offensive thrust
of the Judsonites who ended the
game with a final victory of 3-1.
A slight psychological disad-
vantage must be granted to have
had an effect on the Scotties
as the Judson bleachers cheer-
ed enthusiastically for the home
team. Specator support does
play its part.
After the game, the Scott
girls enjoyed meeting and talk-
ing with the Judson players over
coffee and doughnuts. A quick
shower, a cordial invitation to
Judson to return to Scott the
next hockey season, and the
hearty Scotties tumbled back in-
to the cars for the return trip.
Betsy reports that much can
be learned in a five hour ses-
sion of Botticelli, especially
with Jean Hoefer at the helm of
the game and the car. Miss
Manuel's car was also well en-
tertained in a similar intellect-
ual vein with a rousing name
game of famous personages.
All reports indicate that the
day wps a success, and that
the Scott players enjoyed both
the game and the contact with
the students from Judson.
Agnes Scott was ably repre-
sented by the following girls:
Jean Hoefer, Wendy Williams,
Betsy Hamner, Catherine Sloan,
Mice Davidson, Gail Linging-
ston, Missy White, JanGaskell,
Caroline Amason, Lucy Rose,
Charlotte Hart, Kathy Stubbs,
and Georgia Gillis.
A special news flash on the
annual swimming meet which
took place on Tuesday, Novem-
ber 3rd.
The results were an
indication of the competitive
spirit and the thrilling per-
formances seen especially
among our more youthful con-
tenders.
The able Sophomores, who
were defending their win from
last year, emerged as the vic-
tors with a total of 48 points.
The spirited Freshman followed
closely for a second place with
47 1/2 points. The Juniors were
third, and the Seniors followed
with a fourth place.
Particularly outstanding were
the skillful dives of FroshLynn
Agnew, the 40 yard backstroke
sprint by Sophomore Louise
Watkins, and the 60 yard in-
dividual medley by Frosh Lynn
Rusk.
Her new school record
for this event was set at 43.2
seconds, formidable indeed I
Frosh AnnGlendenning show-
ed a tremendous will and an
even greater capacity for swim-
ming with her 4 laps or 80
yards of underwater swimming.
Special recognition should be
given to all the students who
participated and provided such
an exhilirating evening of swim-
ming for the school community.
The meet showed a great amount
of work on the part of Betsy
Bainbridge, A.A. swimming
manager, the four class manag-
ers, and Miss Manuel, who gave
invaluable aid and encourage-
ment to all teams.
Congratualtions to all, es-
pecially to Peter Pan and his

Moscow Night Life
Can't Match Budapest's
BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP)~
Moscow and Budapest are both
seats of Communist power. But
Budapest is scarcely like Mos-
cow. It is gayer, brighter, and it
is beautiful.
Outwardly it is as different
from the Soviet capital as are
London or Copenhagen.
Why the contrast in two capi-
tals ruled by the same political
ideology?
To Hungarians, the answer is
simple: They are Hungarians.
The Russians are Russians.
Where young Muscoviets are
told Western music is decadent,
Hungarian teenagers crowd into
shops to buy the latest tunes.
Compared to chic and stylish
Hungarian women, Russian wo-
men still look dowdy.
Moscow bans nightclubs but
in Budapest the Twist is danced
in a club complete with a floor
show.
And why does Budapest just
feel so different. Why is the
atmosphere so relaxed and
carefree and Moscow's so sul-
len and watchful?
One Hungarian commented
that* "we are a Western
country - in the geographical
sense of the word. We have a
Western culture, a long radi-
tion of Western standards of
style, fashion and food. Hun-
garian women have flare,
they're naturally good dress-
ers. They couldn't be dowdy.'
When you are in Moscow you
can never forget that you are
living in an intensely political-
ly-minded state. Slogans, stret-
ched across a road or illuminat-
ed on a tall building, are as
much a part of Moscow as street
signs and traffic lights.
None is seen in Budapest.
Budapest even has some pri-
vately owned stores. There's a
restriction on the number of
people an owner can employ -
three or four is tops - so he
can't build up a capitalistic
empire.
But the stores do a
thriving trade and pay taxes
like businesses in any capitalist
capital.
None of this means that Hun-
gary is going capitalist, though
some people here say the coun-
try is beginning to take a more
liberal line in its domestic poli-
tics.

Yoko's Wish Fulfilled,
She Comes To U.SA.
NOVEMBER 11, 1964
THE PROFILE
PAGE 7
Eight years ago Yoko Kakehi
traveled to America with her
father.
Although only in the
seventh grade at the time, she
then decided that at least part
of her education should be spent
in an American college.
Today "Ako is back in Ameri-
ca enrolled as a special student
at Agnes Scott,
When asked why s^e chose to
come to Agnes Scott, Yoko ex-
plained that her father, a Doc-
tor of Radiology, has been in
America on several occasions.
On one of his visits he learned
of Agnes Scott. Being interested
in the college, he came to At-
lanta to discuss Yoko's admit-
tance with Miss Steele and Dean
Kline.
Yoko was quick to add that the
possibility of a scholarship was
also a factor considered in
choosing this campus.
This year at Agnes Scott is
not Yoko's first experience with
an American university. On her
earlier trip she saw Kansas
University.
Her education in Zokogo has
been in anAmerican-Sponsored
university system.
Yoko feels that it is a little
too early to make any real
comparisons between Scott and
the International Christian Uni-
versity, the school she formerly
attended.
In many respects the Inter-
national Christian University is
similar to our campus. It is a
small, liberal arts college. But
there is one major difference:
it is coeducational.
Yoko seems to be well-
pleased with her choice of an
American college. However,
she did comment that, "the first
impression was rather dif-
ferent from what she had thought
of American colleges in Japan."
She had felt that the Ameri-
can student enjoyed college life.
He (or she) worked hard but
played just as hard.
Now she is not entirely cer-
tain about this. She said that
the educational system at Agnes
Scott created more interest than
that of the schools in Japan.
Yoko explained that in the
Japanese schools classes were
large.
Even hearing the lec-
.ures became difficult. It is
not surprising that interest
might lag.
Dormitory life is new to Yoko,
but she has found the students
"friendly and helpful" during
her first few months at Agnes
Scott.
Les Etoiles
No one knows the stars who has not slept, as the French happily
put it, a la belle etoile. He may know all their names and distan-
ces and magnitudes, and yet be ignorant of what alone concerns
mankind their serene and gladsome influence on the mind. The
greater part of poetry is about the stars; and very justly, for
they are themselves the most classical of poets. -Robert Louis
Stevenson.
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.

Application Dates
Application periods for un-

Paris, Madrid, Vienna, and
Freiburg, West Germany, will
Open October 24, the Institute
of European Studies has an-
nounced.
To supplement the courses
students take in the European
university, the Institute's Mad-
rid, Paris and Vienna centers
each off. r from 34 to 55
courses taught by European uni-
versity professors in fields
ranging from art history to
sociology and theology. Ex-
cept in Vienna, where a number
of courses are taught in Eng-
lish for students still brushing
up on their German, all instru-
ction is in the native language.
Formal applications arc due
Dec. 7 for next spring's pro-
grams and May 10, 1965 for
full-year programs starting
next fall.
Sailings arc set for
Feb. 1 and late August or
mid-September. All programs
end in late June or July.
An Institute spokesman said
the programs aim at "immer-
sing the student as deeply as
his background permits" in a
European university. Total im-
mersion is rarely practical, he
said, because European univer-
sity courses arc so highly
specialized that U. S. under-
graduates can usually profit
from foreign university cour-
ses only in their major or minor
fields.
"On the other hand," he said,
"we don't want to place the
student in a "ghetto" where he
is exposed only to American-
style courses taught by Ameri-
can professors, and must live
and study only with other
Americans.
Whether you look at
it academically or culturally,
the European experience should
be both excellent and different.
"Our aim is to maximize the
student's conformation with
Europe and European educa-
tion, within the practical limits
set by U. S. college requir-
ements."

All four Institute centers will

programs tor students in his-
tory, political science, modern
languages and literatures, phi-
losophy, and other liberal arts
and social science fields. The
programs are designed for col-
lege juniors, but some sopho-
mores are admitted in Paris
and Vienna.
Because University ot Paris
courses last the full year, and
do not admit new registrants
for the second semester, stu-
dents in the spring-semester
program there will be unable to
attend regular university lec-
tures.
Instead, they will con-
c^ ntrate on language deve lop-
ment and French-taught cour-
ses organized specifically for
American students.
In Freibi -g, the principal
town in < crmany's Black
Forest, Institute students take
all their work with German stu-
dents in the 500-year-old
university, described as a gra-
duate school by U.S. standards.
They receive as much as one
our of tutorial assistance for
every hour of lecture they at-
tend.
For its Vienna programs, the
Insitute has introduced a new
requirement of at least a sem-
ester of college German or a
year of German in high school.
These programs also require a
C-plus college grade average.
All the other centers require
a B average and one or two
years of the appropriate lan,
guage. Applicants must also
have the approval of their U.S.
colleges and universities.
Students in all the centers
live in private European
homos or in European student
dormitories. Before regular
classes begin, they are given
from four to seven weeks
of intensive language training.
The programs also include or-
ientation, meals, and two field
trips under Eruopean univer-
sity lecturers.

bekah Reception Room.
In order that those who attend
the survey may know something
about the products which they
see, this article will discuss
several important facts to re-
member when buying china,
shapes of china, and its proper
care.
First of all, as in the choice
of Sterling silver, the china
pattern should reflect the
owner's personality. One should
also choose china which will
complement one's home and
furniture.
Fine china, in general, falls
into three classes - contem-
porary, traditional, and transi-
tional.
Next test the translucency
of the chosen pattern by hold-
ing a plate up to the light.
If the outline of the hand can
be seen behind it, it is china.
The examination of a cup
for rough, warped, or wavy
edges is important. The shape
and joining of the 1 foot" and
of the handle should be evenly
glazed and joined smoothly.
Glazing is the process by
which the glossy, glass-like
coating is applied to the suf-
face of china.
In checking the glaze of one's
pattern, one can hold a plate
on an angle to the light. The
glaze should be completely
smooth with no waviness, no
heavy pools, no bumps, pits,
or blisters.
Checking the color of the
pattern is also important in
the choosing of china.
Whatever the color of the pat-
tern, it should have a sense of
clearness about it. There should
be no little black or brown
specks any place on the plate.
One should also consider the
size and shape of the various
pieces in his pattern. It is es-
pecially good to certain that the
cup handle is large enough for
a man's finger and that the
cups and pitchers are in ba-
lance.
The pattern and trim ought
to be examined closely to be
certain that the gold or plati-
num have been carefully and
uniformly applied.
There are several different
shapes of china ware. The pla-
tes of the Standard Shapes are
round with sunken centers.
Sculpture Shapes have pattern-
ed indentures on the rim of the
plate.
The Coupe Shapes are round-
ed as the name implies, without
the sunken center. The plates
in the Temple Shapes have a
verticle pattern of indentures
on the rim and a sunken cen-
ter.
As it is not really fragile,
fine china has very simple
washing instructions. It is sug-
gested that one always use a
mild soap or detergent, avoid-
ing gritty cleansers and steel
wool.
The cost of a place setting
of china varies with the quality
and style. Fine china ranges of
china varies with the quality
and style. Fine china ranges
in price from about $17.95 to
$42.50 per place setting. A
place setting usually consists
of a dinner plate, salad plate,
bread and butter plate, tea cup
and saucer.
Some famous manufacturers
of fine china are Royal Doul-
ton, Wedgewood, Minton, and
Haviland.

Dr. Hiram O. Stout, head of
the political science department
at George -Washington Univer-
sity, lectured November 24
on "Britain's New Government,
Problems and Prospects."
Dr. Stout gave an extremely
interesting and succinct view of
America's "faithful ally" as
Great Britain undeniably has
declined in power since World
War II.
Lord Franks, in reference to
Britain in 1954, felt that the
country could regain this power
by its "conditions of great-
ness."
These conditions, according
to Lord Franks, were based
upon associations with perman-
ent friends such as the United
States, the Commonwealth and
Western Europe.
It is just these associations,
then, which present the new La-
bor Government with its prob-
lems and prospects.
Just over six weeks ago, La-
bor upset a 13 year slightly
"stale" Conservatism in Briti-
sh politics.
Although the Conservatives,
under four different leaders,
had added to their statistical
record by increasing their ma-
jority each time, they really
had little to offer the voters.
There had been no great
diplomatic victory since the last
election in 1959; there had been
the very recent Profumo scan-
dal-which certainly couldn't be
considered a moral victory.
As in America, the incum-
bent's defense was based on
"peace and prosperity." Un-
like America, this was not en-
ough to insure power.
Lord Daniel Home, who be-
came Prime Minister inOctober
1963, "put off the election as
long as possible." By doing so,
he lost the election by the nar-
rowest margin possible.
At least 3.5% Labor swing
was needed to upset the Con-
servative majority in the House
of Commons. Labor won by the
3.6% predicted in the Gallup
poll.
The lineup in Commons is
now Labor: 317, Conservative.
304, Liberals: 9. The latter in-
creased their popular vote since
the last election, indicating
that "the people were not en-
thusiastic about either major
party."
Wilson and the new govern-
ment of Britain, according to
Dr. Stout, face three major pro-
blems:
(1.) They have few experie-
nced leaders because of possi-
bilities who have recently died
or moved to the House of
Lords.
(2.) With only a 4 seat ma-
jority, there can be no defec-
tions on voting, even on small
issues. Illness or death of any
member could be critical to the
Labor political status. (Labor
has 87 members over 60, while
the Conservatives have only 48.)
(3.) The British have a chro-
nic problem with their balance
(cont. in next column)
of payments. Approximately
every two years imports run
ahead of exports. New ways
must be found to solve ihe
delimma. Wilson has proposals,
but will they work any better
than the previous solutions?
The new Labor government
also faces two general problems
in addition to those mentioned
above;
(1.) The controversial multi-
lateral force in NATO: Labor
opposes such a move and would
give up its weapons and rely
on the United States for nuclear
defense.
This, of course, will affect
not only Anglo-American rela-
tions, but also Britain's stand-
ing with her Western European,
Allies.
(2.) Labor would like to see
the Common wealth of Nations
strengthened by economic as-
sistance to new members. One
proposal is that 1% ($700 mil-
lion) of the annual budget should
go to foreign aid. This, though,
depends on the success of 'the
blance of payment problem.
Wilson offers a different style
of leadership to Britain. He is
more the modern "man of af-
fairs" than his conserva-
tive predecessors.
The Labor Party itself
is more nationalistic than the
Conservatives, yet Dr. Stout
sees no major shift in policy.
The new government must
"work in the present alliances
. . . there is little room for
manoeuvre."
Britain must still face its
constant problem of limited re-
sources. Such a problem will
keep our "faithful ally" from
being too nationallyminded.

The Agnes Scott Glee Club
will give a Christmas program
December 13, in Gaines Chapel
at 7:30 p.m.
Parts I and II of "Christmas-
Oratorio" by J. S. Bach will
be sung. Featured in this will
be Diane Swaime, who will
sing the soprano solo.
Also performing in the
Christmas program will be
several people who are not
members of the Glee Club.
Raymond Martin, associate
professor of music, will play
the organ.
Also accompanying the Glee
Club will be Suzanne Brooks
Campbell on the flute and Kat-
herine Bell on the cello.
Eleanor Sikes will be the vio-
linist. Eleanor, a senior at
Georgia State College, is also
a music major.
Another prominent role will
be performed by Linda Marks,
a member of the Glee Club.
Linda will be the harpsichor-
dist.
Selections from this program
will also be given at Decatur
Presbyterian Church during
their annual Christmas banquet
December 8.
Another performance of the
Agnes Scott Glee Club will be
recorded for a national radio
program. This recording will
be given sometime between De-
cember 18 and December 25.
Lasting a half-hour, the pro-
gram will be for nation-wide
by Betsy Anderson
Pete Seeger, who sometimes
expresses his political views
by writing songs such as
"Where Have All The Flowers
Gone?' and the 1 Hammer
Song" will sing at Emory Sat-
urday night.
His concert of folk songs will
be at 8:30 p.m. in the Emory
gymnasium. Tickets can be pur-
chased at the Emory AMB, the
Emory Camera Shop, and at
Rhodes Salon of Music.
If the concert is a typical
one, the 44 year old folksinger
may well appear wearing heavy-
soled work shoes, purple socks,
wrinkled brown pants, a bright
red sports shirt and a yellow
tie.
There probably won't be
printed programs. Usually See-
ger knows what his first num-
ber will be, but then plans the
the rest of the program as he
goes along. "I used to write
down a few" before a concert,
he says, "but they never seem-
ed to fit in so I gave it up."
And if the concert runs true
to Seeger- form, the uncon-
cerned entertainer doesn't
know, and doesn't care, how
much money he's being paid
to sing. One long-time associate
presentation on the ABC net-
work from New York City.
Before the Glee Club sings,
Governor Carl Sanders will
speak to the nation.
A brief Christmas greeting
will then be given by Dr. Wal-
lace Alston of Agnes Scott.

A special Christmas concert
was presented by the Agnes
Scott Dance Group in chapel
Friday.
Called "Christmas Carols",
the program featured dance
interpretations of the 150th
Psalm : read by Diane Swaim,
and of fam.Uiar carols whicn
were sung by a men's quartet
recruited from the faculty.
Men hers of the quartet were
John \dams, Michael Mc-
Dowell Kwai Sing Chang, and
Lee B. I opple.
Karen earrald accomoained
the group, while Raymond Mar-
tin played the processional and
recessional.
Members of the dance group
entered carrying holly. The au-
dience joined them in singing
"Oh Come All Ye Faithful" as
the dancers walked down the
aisles and mounted the stage.
Paula Savage, Anne Rogers,
has said, "I've never known
him to ask what his fee would
be for a concert."
Seeger, one of the nation's
foremost folk singers, left Har-
vard in 1938, his sophomore
year, to travel. He's been tra-
veling ever since, stopping
along the way to talk to people,
listen to their stories and learn
their folk songs. "It would be
impossible to re - create the
aura in which the songs were
originally sung, "he says, "but
if you can capture the feeling
of the people and the times,
you have folk music."
Unlike many other entertain-
ers, Seeger is most outspoken
about his political ideas. In 1948
he toured the country with the
Progressive Party's presiden-
tial candidate Henry Wallace.
He was called to testify be-
fore the House subcommittee on
Un - American Activities in
1955, and was cited for contempt
for invoking the First Amend-
ment, which guarantees the
right of free speech and as-
sociation. His sentence was la-
ter set aside.
Because of his political
views, he has been barred from
some music halls and most
television shows. He has never
been prevented from singing at
a scheduled concert, but the
American Civil Liberties Union
has occasionally had to step
in and see that he was allowed
to go ahead with performances.
Seeger has devoted his lite
to spreading folk music. "Fu-
ture generations will be cap-
able of living fuller lives by
understanding thesetimes," he
says "Any person interested in
life is interested in more than
his own life, and those people
are profoundly concerned with
the future of humanity itself."
Betsy Dykes, and Conya Coop-
er interpreted the reading of
the 150th Psalm, followed by
Debbie Potts, Joan Kiker, and
Johanna Logan dancing to the
"Westminster Carol.'
The wonderment of "We
Three Kings" was interpreted
by Bobbi Trammel, Mary Bar-
nett, and Betsy.
Kay Osborn, director of the
dance group, joined Debbie Jo-
hanna, and Joan in "What Child
is This?".
Leslie Hawkins, Diane Step-
hen, Anne, and Paula presented
an interpretation of "Go Tell
It On The Mountain".
The final dance, "Silent
Night", was performed by Bob-
bi and Conya, as a duo, accom-
panied by Diane, Anne, Leslie
Paula, and Betsy.
"The motiuation for religious
dance is quite dilficuk to ac-
hieve," said Paula Sauage, pre-
side nt of the Dance Group.

HIGHER EDUCATION:
Tradition Out Of Focus
by H. Niel Berkson
The Michigan Daily
Collegiate Press Service
As the percentage of American college graduates begins to
move from elite proportions toward 50 per cent of the popula-
tion, universities will take on more and more of the attributes
of such social institutions as the church and state.
The ramifications of such an event are multifold, but above
all, the university will become increasingly embedded in the crust
Df its traditions. Practices and concepts which originated when
the university was a far different institution will keep their
momentum sacrificing the realities and exigencies of the pre-
sent to the false security of the past.
The most immediate parallel to this situation lies in American
politics: even the so-called pragmatic politics of the center deals
in cliches and slogans from another era.
In that same era, and before, the university was an institution
for the intellectual elite. Both intellectual and elite are important
words, for while they are the ancnors of higher education, they
are no longer definitive.
The minute proportion of a population which used to receive
a university education was very much apart from society. The
university functioned in an idealistic atmosphere.
Philosophy reigned; every subject from the sciences to the
arts was studied in a philosophical context. Liberal education
defied the concept of breadth and depth; the Renaissance Man.
By making education at lower levels possible for virtually
everyone, the United States created the foundation for the influx
of numbers into the colleges and universities, a phenomenon which
has been picking up speed for a generation.
This trend has thoroughly destroyed the foundations of the elite.
While it is perfectly possible that the "community of scholars"
might have broadened to accomodate the new numbers, this has
not happened in fact.
Only a very small percentage of the University of Michigan's
29,000 students is faithful to the tradition of liberal education.
In short, there is now an elite within the elite. A large ma-
jority of students are here simply because higher education has
become a prerequisite for middle-class life.
At the same time, knowledge has accumulated at such a fan-
tastic rate that most men have forsaken any comprehensive
grasp of its boundaries. This has led to a rigid compartimentali-
zation.
The specialist dominates while links between field grow weaker.
A new field begins by crossing departmental lines; it ends by
becoming an entity in and of itself.
I am talking about two separate groups of people, both di-
vorced from the traditions of university education. The first is
anti-intelletual.
Its followers move automatically from high school to college
to $200,000 more per lifetime. The second is a-intellectual Its
followers are scholarly, but they have lost touch with the philo-
sophical base of education and consequently have narrow con-
cerns.
The university bemoans the lact of values of its students, jut
it shouldn't be surprised. The so-called community is so frag-
m2nted that there are few shared vales.
In theory, the university remains true to the historical prin-
ciples of education; in practice, it cannot commjnicate these
principles. Education is a status symobl or a vocation; it is no
longer the means to a better society.

Procrastination
by Carrol Cagle
Collegiate Press Service
LETTERS
Whatever else may be said about college students, they main-
tain a high degree of excellence in two different fields.
The two are related; the second stems from the first indeed
the first almost never is found without the second and both usually
are advanced to about the same degree.
The first field is, of course, Procrastination. College students
will be the first to admit, somewhat proudly, that they have deve-
loped this are which has been lying dormant, so to speak, to an
unprecedented low.
Also chiming in agreement, although in a more ominous tone,
will be parents, professors, and student government committee
chairmen.
The art of Procrastination has been practiced so long and so
diligently by some students that they can waste an entire weekend
with no effort at all (which is the idea, but the point is that they
expend no effort in figuring out how not to expend effort).
They can look back upon the weekend, or in some rare cases
an entire Christmas holiday, and not be able to explain what
they did or why they didn't do it.
It is startling, but true, that a Champion Procrastinator can
while away two or three days without dating, without studying, with-
out cleaning the apartment, without leaving town, and without
feeling guilty which brings us to the second area in which the
college student has attained excellence, Rationalization.
If one is to reach the Bottom in Procrastination, he quickly deve-
lops his rationalizing skills to new highs. The acquisition of this
talent removes any feelings of guili: while simultaneously pro-
moting Procrastination.
That is, once the student realizes he has a device to promote
the first, he will be encouraged to rise to further depths.
A sample: "Well, I've been working hard all week (he read
three pages in Health), and I had things to do, anyway (he made
one trip to the grocery store). Besides, I can get caught up next
weekend (he won't).
You get the point by now, I'm sure. And you would've got it
sooner, but I just never did get around to writing this....
FROM THE EDITOR
Letters: Lack Of Participation
The Profile welcomes the expression of student opinion in let-
ters to the editor. Yet, as many have noticed, only one letter
has appeared in this quarter's publications.
Considering the lively discussions on campus this fall - par-
ticularly during Honor Emphasis Week - this lack of letters
could hardly suggest a lack of interest on the part of Agnes
Scott students.
Some have suggested that if the newspaper took a highly contro-
versial stand on some issue, student interest and participa-
tion would be excited. We feel that this is not the answer.
The Profile staff has attempted to present articles which re-
present a variety of opinions and interests.
In the past, however, letters to the editor have not been con-
cerned exclusively with comments on the actions of the newspaper,
although these comments are certainly welcome.
Letters have served as a sounding-off place for student opinion
on any matter, whether it be concerned with campus affairs or
with the war in Viet Nam.
We would like to urge Agnes Scott students, faculty, adminis-
tration, and others interested in the college to take advantage
of this opportunity to communicate their ideas to others.
Freshman Interest Welcomed
Freshmen are eligible to join the Profile staff at the beginnig
of winter quarter.
Those freshmen and upperclassmsn who are interested in
journalism are invited to attend the first staff meeting of the
quarter.
The date of this meeting will be posted on class bulletin boards
in the mail room.
Responsibility In Little Things
The Hub has lost her cards again, you know. And what's more,
this time she lost her magazines too.
No doubt these were taken by a wandering petty thief who ap-
peared, stole, and left unseen.
No one has seen the cards, though - least of all the Hubbers(?)
who want to play bridge (they can't because the 4 of hearts is
missing from the Hub's only deck).
And Social Council can't afford to buy new cards every quar-
ter. So you see, we'll have to do without.
Solution To Car Problem
(ACP) THE DAILY REVEILLE, Louisiana State University,
Baton Rouge, took stock of crowded conditions and asked:
Instead of taking undergraduate cars off campus, why not re-
move some of the undergraduates?
Foregin Relations
Improve With
Letters Abroad
Dear Editor:
Now that the election is over,
Americans must again close
ranks in a unified effort to meet
the problems of an increasing-
ly difficult world.
Our quadrennial presidential
campaingns often give the im-
pression to observers abroad
that we are a nation of disunity
dissatisfaction and even of cor-
ruption and immorality.
We, of course, know that our
system has always withstood the
excesses of critical oratory that
accompany our elections. But
our friends overseas are not al-
ways as confident.
How can we as citizens reas-
sure and inform our counter-
parts in other lands of our in-
terest in them and our continu-
ing plans for assisting them to
realize their aspirations for a
richer and free life?
The most practical way is by
writing someone abroad with
whom you could share mutual
interests.
Letters Abroad is anon-gov-
ernmental clearinghouse which
introduces Americans, espec-
ially college students, to cor-
respondents of similar age and
circumstance.
Our organization has in its
files requests from hundreds of
eager students overseas asking
for an American pen friend.
Many of these students are
quite probably the future lead-
ers of the developing nations of
Africa and Asia, and they have
many stimulating ideas and o-
pinions to exchange - and ques-
tions to ask.
Any student wishing to share
the experience of international
friendship should send a self-
addressed stamped envelope to
Letters Abroad, 18 East 60th
Street, New York 21, N.Y., to
gether with pertinent informa-
ation concerning age, studies
and general interests. There is
no fee for this service.

Mariekaty Feels At Home,
Plans Further Study In U.S.
DECEMBER 5, 1964 THE PROFILE PAGE 3
by Ann Roberts
"I feel at home here," says
Mariekaty Georgota, special
student from Athens, Greece,
The reason, she reveals, is
not only the friendly attitude
of the students and faculty, for
which she is grateful, but also
because Scott is quite like the
high school she attended-small,
private, girls'.
Asked to compare her school
to American high schools,
Mariekaty says that although the
diplomas are the same, the
Greek school is "more in fact."
Before coming to this coun-
try Mariekaty traveled widely
in Europe, almost everywhere
except Scandinavia. "And
Turkey," she adds. "My dream
is to go to Turkey, especially
Constantinople."
She is also better traveled
in the United States than many
Americans. She arrived at the
first of August and traveled with
her Fulbright group in the North
and West before coming to
Atlanta.
She likes Atlanta, but hopes
to "see the South" better. She'll
get a chance, for she plans to
spend Christmas vacation in
Kentucky and South Carolina.
And although she will return
to Greece this summer, in fu-
ture years she hopes to re-
turn and travel here.

She regrets that she does not

Mariekaty hopes to continue

Academy Theater Plans
'Peter Pan" Production
The Academy Theatre an-
nounces the opening date of
Peter Pan on Thursday Decem-
ber 10.
This musical version of Sir
James M. Barrie's famous
story will run for four weeks
with performances scheduled
on Thursday, Friday and Satur-
day evenings and mitinees on
Saturday and Sunday afternoons
at 2:30 p.m. There will he no
performances on December 24
& 25 in order that the Academy
company can enjoy Christmas.
One of the largest casts in
the history of the Academy,
over 20 parts, Peter Pan will
debut many new young faces to
Atlanta audiences. Chief among
these actors is 14 year old
Gary Enck who plays the title
role.
This is an innovation in
theatre history, for the role
is noted for being played by act-
resses since Maude Adams
first made a hit in it in 1905.
Gary Enck has an impressive
background. He comes to the
Academy from the DallasThea-
tre Center where hestudied and
acted in the Dallas Teen Thea-
tre.
Supporting "Peter" in child-
ren's roles will be John Homins,
Douglas Porter, Dave Hassel-
hoff and Paul Sambol, a current
student at the Academy Drama
School.
The other well known parts
will be played by actors who are
quite familiar to Atlanta au-
diences: Joe Kimmons, as Cap-
tain Hook; Page Lee, as Wendy;
George Bowling as Nana.
Evalyn Baron, who made a
smasli hit in Atlanta as the fe-
male lead in Stop The World
is to play the role of Tiger
Lily.
Due to the advance demand
for tickets, the Academy re-
quests that reservations be
made in advance by calling
233-9481. Threu performances

The Academy production is
being directed by Frank Wittew,
the executive director of Aca-
demy, and Jon Lorraine as
musical director. Bill Mayton
is designing the intricate set
and Charles Brame is lighting
chief. There will be musical
accompaniment in the form of
several percussion pieces.

CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION:
A Response To
Vocational Confusion
This is the third in a series
of articles outlining Christian
Association's emphasis for
this year.
Q. What is Christian Associa-
tion Cabinet's concern about vo-
cation?
A. Our interest in vocation
is directly related to a concern
for what we feel a Christian
means in striving to be a per-
son.
This involves the develop-
ment and use of abilities and
capacities which allow the ful-
lest individual expression.
A person's vocation should
foster such expression which is
a response to God's claim on
our lives.
Furthermore, we as students
are vitually committed to this
process. To become educated
women involves disciplined, or-
ganized study now in antici-
pation of an intellectually mean-
ingful vocation after graduation.
Q. What is C.A. cabinet do-
ing to aid students in vocational
growth and selection?
A. After considering our stu-
dent life we are concerned that
students often lack a sense of
vocation both in most fully us-
ing the college years and in
determining a long - range di-
rection for life.
Therefore, we have decided
for this year to expand our in-
terest in vocation and to con-
centrate on three areas.
First, for those who feel the
need for vocational guidance
we will work with Miss lone
Murphy in making the services
of the Vocational Guidance Of-
fice known on campus. This
office fills requests for taking
vocational interest test, parti-
cularly helpful to sophomores in
the major selection process.
Those who want information
about career possibilities in
various fields can find it here.
Also available is information
about application for jobs, both
summer and permanent.
Second, we plan to work with
the alumnae office in provid-
ing students with vocational in-
centive. That is, students will
be given the opportunity to meet
and talk with graduates who
have been successful in pursu-
ing various vocations.
Third, for those who are spe-
cifically interested in church-
related vocations, we will pro-
vide information in quarterly
meetings.
History Of Christmas Cards
Father of the American Christmas card industry was German-
born Louis Prang who in 1874 began making cards in Roxbury,
Mass.
By 1880, according to the December Reader's Digest, his press-
es were turning out five million a year (the biggest U. S. firm
now prints that many in a day.)
Today, cards come in 50,000 different designs from 300 manu-
facturers.

Anticipation is the extra in-
gredient in men's days that
spices up the here and now and
points to an even better to-
morrow.
One can not know what lies
at the next curve of the road,
but the steps are less dogged
when one is open to the pos-
sibility of potential good which
is being realized all along the
way.
So don't let the icy fingers
of winter clutch at you. Just
put on an extra layer, walk more
briskly, and insulate your inner
forces to weather the buffets
of winter with a smile.
And now's as good a time as
any to begin. How about a trial
run this Friday at 4:00? That's
right, it's the last hockey game
of the season.
At the present the Junior
class is ahead with the Senior
running a close second. This
will be the last game in their
college career for the Seniors,
so I predict some lively com-
petition and fun.
So bring along a blanket, and
come support your class team
in their final game of the sea-
son. The Seniors will meet the
Freshmen, and the Juniors will
play the Sophomores.
In case you've been curious
about that red pole in the quad-
rangle near the hub, that is the
A.A. flag pole. When a till e tic
events are underway, you will
notice the appropriate sports
flag flying.
The campus self study re-
vealed that the presence of
a flag pole would contribute to
student morale. And certainly
A.A. wants you do their part
in this area.
Therefore A.A. invites you to
stop and examine the hockey
flag made by Betsy Hamner.
I hear she even took a refresh-
er course in sewing to do this.

Just a short report on that
hockey playday attended by 13
Scotties a few weeks back at
Winthrop College in Rockhill,
South Carolina. First of all
it was a tremendous success 1
On Saturday, November 21,
the Scott team met Winthrop
College for the second game of
the playday. The two teams had
an evenly matched game which
ended at a deadlock of 2-2.
Then after lunch the Scotties
played Coker College from
Hartsville, South Carolina. And
what a game I Scott emerged a
ji'vilant victor with a score of
4-0.
All participants in the four-
college playday were enthusi-
astic over the success and fun
of the day. The Scott players
returned to Atlanta with much
talk about the tactics tried, and
the people met, and the game
enjoyed. Voilal
The candy being sold
presently on campus by A.A.
members will contribute to the
funds for more intercollegiate
sports trips like that to Win-
throp College.
A.A. feels that these events
are a valuable part of our pro-
gram, and we invite your sup-
port and show of enthusiasm.
Have you bought your candy?
If you haven't please do so
soon because we A.A. members
and our roommates are rapidly
gaining weight with the candy
supply so close at hand. (And

Indonesia's withdrawal from
the United Nations, delayed al-
most a week for dramatic sus-
pense, is now effective.
The action marks the first
time in the 20-year history of
the world organization that a
nation has so overtly turned
its back on "man's one hope
for peace," as the U.N. is
often considered.
President Sukarno of Indo-
nesia pulled his small south-
east Asian country outside the
consensus of world opinion be-
cause of a long standing ter-
ritorial dispute with neighbor-
ing Malaysia.
Malaysia is a new country,
just formed out of a formsr
British colony. It was recent-
ly admitted to the United Na-
tions, in spite of violent ob-
jections from Indonesia.
President Sukarno considers
the world organization as a
strictly Western interest of na-
tions.
Indonesia and Red China, Su-
karno has said, can get along
without the aid and influence
of the United Nations. In
fact, he seems to see a great-
er development for the two
countries if they remain alone
and outside.
Why, then, the question might
arise, has Indonesia so far
retained her membership in
the sub-organizations affiliated
with the U.N.?
This incongruity is cleared
up slightly by the military
build-up which Indonesia is
making on the tip of the Ma-
lay peninsula. Diplomats in
Washington believe that the
build-up is on the advice of
Red China.
If this is true, it makes
even more probable the fear-
ed all-out attack by Indonesia
on Malaysia. Until this rumor
of Chinese participation, it
seemed that the anti-Malaysia
obsession was Sukarno's idea.
Great Britain is flying in
n -inforcements to match the
50 guerillas landed early last
Friday near Singapore.
These re-inforcements in-
clude fighting units, air and
sea craft, as well as hastily
called military conferences
with Malaysian leaders and
southeast Asian British com-
manders.
Prime Minister Harold Wil-
son has also announced plans
for a conference of Common-
wealth prime ministers"as soon
as possible."
If Indonesia does go through
with the attack on Malyasia
another very sharp thorn will
be added to that side of the
world.
There would be Red China
and Indonesia against New
Zealand, Australia, and Great
Britain supporting Malaysia.
Surely the potential of such
a conflict is so great that the
United States may even find
herself involved by virtue of
her system of allies.

The Agnes Scott College
chapter of Phi Beta Kappa
is sponsoring the appearance on
campus of the eminent biogra-
pher, Dumas Malone. Mr. Mal-
one spoke to the student body
at Wednesday Convocation and
will deliver a lecture on Thurs-
day evening.
Mr. Malone, former Thomas
Jefferson Foundation Professor
of History at the University of
Virginia, is presently biogra-
pher-in-residence there.
He was instructor in history
at Yale University from 1919
to 1923, associate professor and
later professor at the Univer-
sity of Virginia from 1923
to 1929, and visiting professor
at Yale in 1926-27. He was an
editor of the Dictionary of Ame-
rican Biography from
until 1931 and its editor-in-
chief from 1931 to 1936.
From 1936 to 1943 he was
director of the Harvard Uni-
versity Press. Mr. Malone
taught at Columbia University
from 1945 until 1959 and then
returned to teach at the Univer-
sity of Virginia.
Although renowned as a bio-
grapher of Jefferson, Mr. Mal-
one says:" I have never liked
to think of myself as being a
specialist, and as a teacher
and editor I have roamed over
the whole of American history.
Most of my own writing, how-
ever, has been in the biogra-
phical field. This was to some
extent accidential, for I happen-
ed to have a biographical sub-
ject for my doctoral dissertion,
got interested in Jefferson when
I first came here (Virginia)
forty years ago, and then
became committed to the bio-
graphica 1 field as editor of
the Dictionary of American Bio-
graphy.
I like this approach to
history because I am more in-
terested in persons than in any-
thing else."

again in 1958-59 when he trav-

closely aligned with his study of
Jefferson.
He was a member of the exe-
cutive council of the American
Historical Association from
1934 to 1938. During World War
I, Mr. Malone served in the
Marine Corps, an experience

Not With A Bang
IF A TREE FALLS WITH
SOUND. ?
NO ONE TO HEAR, IS THERE ANY
We're wondering if there is a necessity for a newspaper
at Agnes Scott. In the past, there has been some favorable or
adverse reaction to the judgment used in forming an issue.
We have seen no direct reaction to any specific articles or
changes made in the Profile this fall. This is particularly dis-
concerting to the editors, who tend to be a little paranoid any-
way.
The criticism we hear-always adverse-comes from friends,
staff members-anyone but the original critic. Anyone with a
valid complaint and sincere interest in the newspaper should
come to the ones who can do something about it.
We have heard that:
some clubs and groups on campus fe^l that the newspaper
gives them inadequate coverage.
the press service articles which we have introduced to
the newspaper are not satisfactory.
there is a definite need for more campus news coverage.
The Profile does not express or reflect the opinions
of many students.
there is dissatisfaction about the page placement of
articles in certain issues.
there is a definite lack of humor and a scarcity of
feature articles,
the news is
newspapers
To these and
the answers.
We were very enthusiastic about the newspaper last spring
when we took over-and so were the students. We even got a
few letters.
While studying volumes of the Agnes Scott News, we were
surpriztd to note that papers generally start out well in the
spring-and then become progressively worse.
Now we see the reasons for this phenomenon-and they are
reasons, not excuses.
Some of our old enthusiasm has definitely been renewed by
the freshman response to newspaper tryouts.
Due to their response we feel that we have the staff and the
ability to satisfy Agnes Scott students, faculty, administration
and other subscribers. But we can't do anything without coop-
eration.
We are falling, but we don't seem to make a sound.

Classes Lock Interest
Good ideas are hoarded at Agnes Scott saved for the criti-
cal paper or personal conference with a professor. Virtual sil-
ence in a classroom, except for the lecturer's voice and the
scratch of pen and pencil, is often attributed to fear of fellow
students.
As a freshman, I feared attending class unprepared because
of the prospect of the disdain of my peers. This still is a factor
when starting to volunteer information.
Even if you suspect that your neighbor is a potential Phi Beta
Kappa metabrain (to borrow a phrase), her presence and/
or stare should not force you to be a taciturn note-taker.
Every student present at this college has a capable mind.
Failure in the area of student interchange is a tragedy.
Admittedly it is one of the arts of teaching to elicit classroom
discussion and questions from the floor. However, just because
the professor has a well-organized lecture does not mean he
would be offended by the interjection of a meaningful commen-
tary, or a question.
In fact, a faculty member has told me of incorporating this
tighter system of classroom procedure because of embarass-
ing silences when he attempted to make the session more of a
forum 'or ideas.
Not often enough do you hear a student comment on another
student's statement, or challenge her point. Some visiting pro-
fessors, fresh from other institutions, have been disappoint-
ed with the lack-lustre quality of Agnes Scott classes classes
filled, as well they knew, with able students.
Participation is a key word at Agnes Scott. We meet it again
and again in reference to chapel attendance, class spirit, and
community life in general. The vibracy of academic life also
is dependent on students' personal involvement in the exchange
of ideas in the classroom.

These students, under the
supervision of career staff and
adult volunteers, enthusias-

Folk Singers
Tell Tricks
Of The Trade
(ACP) The Smothers Bro-
thers, who brought their folk-
singing talents to Oregon State
University, Corvallis, left
behind some suggestions for
budding folk singers.
"Learn to sing," the brothers
suggested to the DAILY BAR-
OMETER. "This is an impor-
tant part of being a folk sin-
ger."
The first step in learning to
sing, they said, is to find your
voice range- To do this, sing
the lowest note you can. Then
sing up the scale to the highest
note you can reach. This is your
range. Now find the center note
of your range. This is YOUR
note.
Start all your songs on this
note, for you can thus sing up
and down and around it and still
stay within your range (and you
will have to learn to sing in only
one key.)
Since the guitar is virtually
the symbol of the folk singer,
the boys recommend that you
obtain one "preferably in
playing condition, but even a
broken one makes a nice prop."
Dressing the part of a folk
singer is rated as very import-
ant.
Male singers can wear almost
anything as long as the out-
fit includes some piece of old,
torn clothing (the outfit is not
acceptable unless the old, torn
thing SHOWS), and don't get
a haircut the shaggy look is
the look of success.
As for female singers, Tom
and Dick feel they should strive
for the "somber, suffering
look".
They should dress all in
black and avoid high heels.
Their legs must NOT look at-
tractive.
The brothers concluded
"Take advantage of every op-
portunity to sing for your fri-
ends. You will probably lose-
all your friends, but only in
this way will you establish a
name for yourself."

Green Eyes" doesn't have green
eyes at all, but they are none-
theless remarkable.
Rita Tushingham, to whom
they belong, stares, gazes,
glances, and glares her way
through this touching story of
love in Dublin.
She portrays Kate Brady, an
Irish provincial who comes to
work in a Dublin grocery and
falls in love with a writer.
"Girl With Green Eyes" is
another of the distinguished
films that Tony Richardson has
directed for Woodfall Films.
In ''Tom Jones" it appeared
that Richardson and company
had combed every inch of Eng-
land to find the perfect spot
to film ?ach and every scene,
and that they had never dream-
ed of resorting to sets.
"Girl With Green Eyes" con-
veys the same impression
in Gaelic. The solidity of mas-
terful execution is always there
to protect a very, very fragile
story.
Kate Brady has a friend nam-
ed Baba. They grew up together
(Limerick, where else?). Baba
embodies the worst possible
connotations of the word "pro-
vincial." The two girls board
together in Dublin, and work
and go to secretarial school
respectively.
Enter Eugene Gaillard, an
Irish-Hungarian who writes a-
bout African savages and is
separated from his wife.
He draws Kate into his life
and then tosses her out again,
moving from delight with her,
EST? 0 * t0passion > and their
to fatal involvement.
He seeks a simple, innocent
creature to bathe his wounds,
and finds inevitably a wo-
man. Kate seeks and F. Schtt
Fitzgerald hero, and finds a
man.
Her Eugene is a man who,
like all men, has a life which
she cannot touch. The girl who
reads too many novels learns
to read between the lines.
Peter Finch portrays Eugene
Gaillard. He is intelligent, so-
phisticated, articulate, and ever
the writer. Finch is at his
best when he is the sensitive,
experienced man who knows
what he is doing to Kate and
yet can't help himself.
He can't help indoctrinating
her into the world of reality
'and yet what he wants her to
be is a simple creature who
is "mad in one eye."
Of course, Rita Tushingham's
biggest job is to keep Kate
Brady from becoming all eyes
and no substance. She never
lets it happen.
She uses her eyes to create
a whole being. Her progression
from "convent girl" to "woman
with a past" could easily have
been jerky and prosaic. It isn't.
She touches every gradation
in the difficult metamorphosis
of growing up.
"Girl With Green Eyes" is
just a story. To make it a
movie, pithy little roads igns
were stuck up along the way
to keep the masses from think-
ing that the film has no mean-
ing. "We outgrow our best
friends." "Nothing is perma-
nent." "One relationship
There may be more talk a-
bout immoral college students
these days, but some Agnes
Scott students don't think
there's much more immorality
among college students now than
there was when Mom and Dad
were in college, they indicated
in a fireside chat on morals
in the college realm last week.
If there is more immorality
now, it's due in large part to
relaxed standards men hold
for women now, they suggested.
Bonnie R. Strickland, dean of
women at Emory University,
led the discussion in Walters'
basement Thursday. About 150
students attended the event
sponsored by Social Council.
Miss Strickland referred to
nationwide surveys which in-
dicate widespread sexual im-
morality on university cam-
puses. "Many have abdicated
ihe responsibility of setting
some sort of goals and stan-
dards for behavior," she said
In a society in which key
words are "flexibility" and
"growth," we must make a
"crucial decision" regarding
what is right and what is wrong,
she commented. "You can't
move the world unless you have
something solid to stand on."
BONNIE R. STRICKLAND, dean of women at Emory Univer-
sity, chats with Social Council president Libby Malone.

doesn't cancel out another."
It is a beautiful, sad film.
On the way out of the theatre
you will want to think of it
as a labor of love on the part
of everyone involved in its pro-
duction.
The truth in it is pinpointed
with precision from the first
scene, and it is never blurred.
"Girl With Green Eyes" has
a great deal to say, but it
shouldn't be put into words.
It's so much better left in
Rita Tushingham's eyes.
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.

Bridge Session
Includes Food,
Prizes For All
All Agnes Scott students are
invited to attend the bridge
party sponsored by Social
Council Saturday, January 16
at 2:00 p.m. in the Hub.
Interested students are asked
to sign up on a list in the
mail room, so a progression
may be worked out for the
players.
Prizes will be given to the
high and low scorers.
There will also be a Bingo
prize and a roving prize, which
is given to the person who
takes a trick with a two. If
more than one person does
this, the prize will go to the
last person who takes a trick
with a two.
During the bridge party re-
freshments will also be
served.
Considering the interest in
bridge on campus, Social
Council is planning to join the
Association of College Unions.
This association sponsors
bridge tournaments in which
fixed hands are sent to the
college members.
The college then holds the
tournament and sends in the
results^ Later the scores are
sent back to the college. A
tenative date of February 6
has been set for Agnes
Scott's tournament in which
eight couples may play. On
the board of the Association
of College Unions are many
bridge experts, including
Charles Goren.
Survey Examines
Future Circuits
For College TV
(CPS) Every college and
university in the country will
have at least one closed-circuit
TV system by 1971, according
to a survey by Stanford's In-
stitute for Communications Re-
search.
More than 400 colleges now
offer courses over Educational
TV. according to Education
USA, which reported on the
survey.
Today 3.5 million students
are taking courses for credit
over ETV, and 5.5 million oth-
ers use ETV for supplemen-
tary instruction.
The construction and opera-
tion of all ETV stations now
on the air cost only $90 mil-
lion, much less than at least
one corporation spends in one
year to advertise its soap pro-
ducts on commercial TV.

Winter Quarter Calendar
Shows Basketball, Dance
This is the season of renew-
ed aspirations, of hours in the
library with Tom Jones, of
colorful umbrellas in Buttrick,
of pounding tennis shoes on
a gym floor, and of the many
other personal events and at-
titudes that we each find in
winter quarter of 1965.
If the sun continues to shine,
we may have a good crop of
January tulips and daffodils.
But if the weather shifts, we've
at least had a delightful fore-
cast of what we can antici-
pate for spring.
Our main sport for this
quarter is basketball. Sally
Blackard, the basketball mana-
ger for A. A., reports an en-
couraging turnout for the gen-
eral meeting held on January
6th.
The class managers who will
be working closely with Sally
are: Frosh, Lucy Rose; Soph-
omore, Ann Davis; Junior
Ginny Finny; and Senior, Sue
MarshalL
Three practices will be re-
quired for the first game to
be held on January 22. The
schedule of practices is as
follows: Monday, at 4:00, Jr.
and Sr., and, at 5:00, Soph,
and Frosh. Then on Wednes-
day, at 4:00 Soph, and Frosh.,
and at 5:00, Jr. and Sr.
Professional training is not
necessary at all for basket-
ball.
Rather the essentials for
this sport are a willingness
to participate, a love of the
game, and a dash of enthus-
iasm and energy. A. A. encour-
ages you to try your hand at
basketball and come out for the
next class practice.
Another event to mark on
your calendar is the upcoming
Winter Frolics dance on Sat-
urday, January30th.
The dance will be held at
the Star Room of the Georgian
Terrace Hotel from 8:00 until
12:00. Then you'll have an ex-
tended time limit afterwards
for fun group parties or break-
fasts. C'est bon, n'est-ce pas?
Each year this dance, which
is sponsored by Social Council
and A.A., is a highlight for
the campus. This year we're
anticipating another success

The first is the scale of your research over the whole range of

Speaking
by Sandy Prescott
Winston Churchill is gravely
ill. If by the time of this read-
ing, his death has not come, it
seems irreverant to speak of
the man he was.
This writer sincerely finds it
difficult to write of Sir Winston,
even though his direct influence
on my generation is small. He
of all men, can truly be called
"the man of the century."
These past 100 years have
been magnificent ones in world
history. Perhaps never before
have things changed so obvious-
ly.
This one man has lived in
or directed every significant
event in 90 of these 100 years.
To those which occurred in
fields other than his particu-
lar one, politics, he could offer
pertinent and profound com-
ments.
One would find it extremely
beneficial to read about the life
and experiences of Winston
Churchill.
So many of the phrases in
international relations which
are elementary to its study and
practice were coined by him:
iron curtain, summit con-
ference, for example
As Prime Minister of Eng-
land, he gave real inspiration
to the people of France, and
later became the only honorary
citizen in the history of the
United States.
Truly, an international man.
Out of respect, as well as an
inadequate knowledge of all of
his deeds and words, may these
simple reminders encourage
every reader to remember
on his own.

Swart' s Book Gives
New View Of History
by Rosalind Todd
'This book, though dealing
with the nineteenth century, is
the cause of interest today be-
cause people now are wondering
where we are going," says Koen-
raad W. Swart, history profes-
sor, about his recently-publish-
ed book: The Sense of Decad-
ence in Nineteenth - Century
France,
The work is a revision of a
widely-held view that the period
from Napoleon to World War II
was a period during which
everyone believed in unlimit-
ed progress.
Pessimistic views of history
were held in the nineteenth cen-
tury. Mr. Swart says that these
were mainly a response to the
times.
Factors included in this were
the rise of the masses, revolu-
tions, military and diplomatic
defeats, industrialization, and a
breakdown of moral and re-
ligious values.
The book proves that these
were especially prominent in
France where there was a de-
cline of national power and
problems from an economic and
democratic society.
The gloomy views of this era
are not found in its literature.
However, they were held by
many historians, religious lead-
ers, philosophers, and social
and political scientists.
Mr. Swart worked on The
Sense of Decadence in Nine-
teenth-Century France for ap-
proximately six years.
While on leave in Europe last
year, he worked to put the book
in shape.
Research on the book, how-
ever, had been done earlier. He
took trips to Europe in the sum-
mer and used the Agnes Scott
library for information.
Also included in the book is a
short survey of historical pes-
simism in earlier centuries.
Mr. Swart is now working on
a book on nineteenth century in-
dividualism.
Born in Rotterdam in 1916,
Mr. Swart attended the Univer-
sities of Luden, Paris, and Har-
vard.
He has taught at the Universi-
ties of Illinois, Georgetown,
and Emory, and is now an asso-
ciate professor of history at
Agnes Scott.
After the Second World War
he was research assistant at
Netherlands State Institute of
vVar Documentation. Mr. Swart
represented this institution at
the Nuremberg Trials.

tern University.
He has served as pastor of
the First Congregational
Church, Quincy, Illinois, from
1915 to 1918; of the First Con-
gregational Church, Rutland,

of the First Presbyterian
Church, Buffalo, New York,
from 1921 to 1927; and of the
Madison Avenue Presbyterian
Church, New York City, from

Among the- positions Dr.
Buttrick has held are preach-
er to the University and Plum-
mer Professor of Christian
Morals at Harvard University

Emerson Fosdick visiting
professor, Union Theological
Seminary, New York City,

ing professor, Chicago Theo-

Dr. Buttrick is past presi-
dent of the Federal Council of
Churches of Christ in Ameri-

Born and educated in Eng-

Winters Are For Living
It's winter quarter and traditionally the time to slave
in the library from breakfast to bedtime, talk about transfering,
and complain about the work, the weather, and the environment.
Fortunately it's also the time for the AA-Social Council
dance, Junior Jaunt, Sophomore Parents' Weekend, and a scat-
tering of other pep-you-uppers.
It is interesting, and perhaps significant, that in the first
two thanksgiving (Saturday) chapel programs of the quarter,
Linda Richter and Debbie Rosen noted the necessity of finding
more than the humdrum in our day-to-day-lives with the
people we meet and the situations we find ourselves in. Both
stressed the potential of the fleeting moments of today, which
must be used now, or not at all.
Our lives are, and always will be, tied to the posts of some
rather mundane responsibilities. Our task is to recognize the
moments of freedom and the opportunites for creativity when
they come and to respond to them.
Those who make the time to play in the snow, talk to a friend,
or take a long walk can make their lives exciting, even though
they are involved in the same activities that others complain
make their lives monotonous and dull.
Committee Studies
Non-Drinking Policy
by Ellen Croswell
The newly formed Policy
Committee, a subcommittee of
Rep. Council, will have its first
meeting on Thursday, January,
21.
Its first aim is to review,
evaluate and consider revision
of the Non-Drinking Policy.
Student members of the com-
mittee include appointed Rep.
Council members Helen Heard,
Judy Roach, Susan Ledford,
Debbie Rosen, and Lynne Bur-
ton; appointed Judicial Council
member Elaine Orr; President
of the Student Body Nancy Yontz
and Judicial Chairman Dee Hall.
Elected faculty representa-
tives are Mrs. Miriam Druc-
ker and Mrs. Merle Walker.
Miss Scandrett, Dean Kline
and Dr. Alston represent the
administration. Dr. Alston will
serve as chairman of the com-
mittee.
The first few meetings will
be devoted to comments from

each of the committee members
on his or her concern toward
the Non-Drinking Policy.
Information about other col-
lege and university drinking po-
licies will be brought into the
subsequent discussions.
This information has been
gathered from student govern-
ments by the secretary of Rep.
Council, Susan Ledford. Similar
information has been collected
from presidents of various
schools.
This combined research will
present the opinions of students
and administration on all dif-
ferent types of drinking po-
licies.
The Policy Committee hopes
that such a detailed examina-
tion of widely differing poli-
cies will prepare them to e-
valuate the Agnes Scott policy.
Students are requested to
make their ideas known to mem-
bers of the Policy Committee
so that their thoughts may be
represented in Committee dis-
cussions.

Aurora
Work has already begun on the
winter quarter edition of
"Aurora," the student arts ma-
gazine. The staff meets today
to make definite plans, and the
deadline for submitting ma-
terial will be announced in the
near future.
According to editor Paula Sa-
vage, "Aurora" hopes to add
several sophomores to the staff
some time this year. Details
will be revealed after the staff
has made definite arrange-
ments.
Dolphin Club
Dolphin Club is now rehears-
ing for a program to be pre-
sented as part of the enter-
tainment for Sophomore Pa-
rents' Weekend.
The club is composed of
twenty - three members who
meet two hours a week in or-
der to learn more about syn-
chronized swimming.
The theme of the program is
being kept a secret. Betsy Bain-
bridge, president of Dolphin
Club, says that the program is
"really going to be great."

tled in one's mind, and, like any
work of art, a thing to be seen
again.
This is the way I feel, and,
here, admittedly, this attitude is
more an evasion. I have found
that, just as the characters of
"La Strada" cannot communi-
cate their feelings about each
other, I cannot communicate my
feelings about "La Strada", at
least not in this space.
However, two pertinent com-
ments may be extracted from
the discussion (most people
found plenty to say, after all),
which included various touches
EAST LANSING, Mich.
Michigan State University will
offer credit for overseas lan-
guage courses for the first
time this summer in Paris,
Madrid and Cologne.
The three intensive language
programs, scheduled from Jul.
5 to Aug. 20, are offered by
the American Language and
Educational Center (AMLEC)
of the MSU Continuing Educa-
tion Service, in cooperation with
the Department of Foreign
Languages.
Three Michigan State
language professors will be on
hand to provide the instruction.
Nine credits will be given for
each of the courses.
In addition, noncredit
language courses will again be
offered in Lausanne and Neu-
chatel. Switzerland; Barcelona,
Spain, and Florence, Italy. They
will run the same time as the
credit classes.
"We feel that through
AMLEC, students will be able
to continue their language train-
ing 'on the spot'," reports Dr.
Sheldon Cherney, head of MSU's
Office of International Ex-
tension, through which AMLEC
is administered.
"These programs also will
help to prepare students for
language teaching careers, and
will internationalize their educ-
ation by providing them with
information about nations and
their peoples, first-hand."
Dr. Cherney notes that
priority will be given to stu-
dents in good standing with two
years of language training in
French, German, Spanish or
Italian.
He adds, however, that other
students in good standing with
on the Christ theme as well as
a warm controversy over the
ending.
Mrs. Pepperdene pointed out
that one of the film's aspects
is that it presents such a life
of filth and rags, and, yet,
shows that out of this dirt and
squalor can come "something
so profoundly real, so fragile."
And Mrs. Yungblut stated as
one of the main themes, "If
suffering cannot be communi-
cated, it can be exchanged."
Mrs. Pepperdene ended the
discussion with thanks to Arts
Council for presenting an out-
standing example of the film
medium.
Bunny Foster, speaking for
the Council, stated that they
hope to do more of this sort of
thing, and would, if assured of
interest. As this was greeted
with an enthusiastic "Yes",
the community can doubtless
look forward to more exam-
ples of art as it emerges in
movies.
one year's background, but who
have demostrated high language
proficiency, may also apply.
The program in Paris will
offer French 311, 312, and 313
(Advanced Oral French) and
French 320 (Phonetics).
The program in Madrid will
offer Spanish 311, 312 and 313
(Advanced Oral Spanish).
The program in Cologne will
offer German 321 (Advanced
Composition and Conversation).
The noncredit courses will be
taught by faculty members af-
filiated with the Foundation for
European Language and Educa-
tional Centres, with which
AMLEC is affiliated, who are
highly qualified and ex-
perienced.
Dr. Cherney points out that
both the credit and noncredit
courses will be supplemented by
optional lectures and trips to
points of historic, culturai or
geographic interest.
Since AMLEC was establish-
ed as a part of the Continu-
ing Education Service in 1961,
it has sent over 700 students
to Europe for language study.
These students attended non-
credit programs in Ambolse,

MOVIE REVIEW
THE PROFILE JANUARY 20, 1965
PAGE 3
'My Fair Lady' Has Captivating Charm
by Louise Bruechert
"My Fair Lady" is truly the
epic film of this generation.
Into the grand scope of the mo-
tion picture screen are brought
suave Rex Harrison, radiant
Audrey Hepburn, along with the
gifted director, George Cukor,
to make a remarkable and tal-
ented team.
The essense of Alan Jay
Lerner and Frederic Lowe's
charming musical has been cap-
tured and magnified with the
many technical devices of the
motion picture industry.
Producer Jack L. Warner,
president of Warner Brothers,
confidently invested his com-
pany in the seventeen million
dollar production; and has been
rewarded with pleasing returns.
In capturing the essence of
the Lerner and Lowe stage
play, director Cukor, a veteran
of Hollywood for thirty-four
years, employed simplicity, but
with the utmost care given to
minute details.
Audrey Hepburn, playing Eli-
za Doolittle with her dirty-
under-the-fingernails ap-
pearance, in the opening scene,
in contrast to the gloriously-
bedecked women attending the
opera, is displayed with expert
photography, especially in the
close-ups.
Rex Harrison, making him-
self at home in Henry Higgins'
overstuffed library scattered
with countless speech control
devices, is followed by the
camera with extreme care to
make every detail realistic.
The scene at the Ascot races
is another masterpiece of pre-
cision. Three hundred brill-
iantly arrayed ladies and
gentlemen gather to perform the
Ascot Gavotte. The symmetry
and seemingly-simple design
and balance combine to make
it one of the play's unforget-
table sights.
Though careful of details, the
two stars have the freedom to
fill their parts with their own
personalities. Rex Harrison is
not an "ordinary man"either
as Higgins or as himself. He
is suave, elegant, monstrous,
unforgivably inconsiderate; and
his magnetism is overwhelm-
ing.
Audrey Hepburn has to make
the big step from a beggar-
girl to a great lady realis-
tic, and this she does expert-
ly. Her long and persistent study
of the cockney accent, habits,
and character of Eliza Doolit-
tle is evident in her charming
performance.
There has been much said
indicating that Julie Andrews
could have fulfilled Eliza's part
better, but most people who have
seen the film agree that Miss
Hepburn is dainty, lady-like,
funny, and a most captivating
heroine.
Among the other actors in
"My Fair Lady", none is so
delightful as Stanley Holloway
in the part of Alfred P. Do-
little. A lovable ne'er-do-well
who is faced with "middle-class
morality," he is a ham from
beginning to end.
Wilfred Hyde-Whiteas, Colo-
nel Pickering, and Gladys Coop-
er as Higgins' wise and witty
mother give equally fine perfor-
mances.
Jeremy Brett as Freddie, the
young, love-sick boy who a-
dores Eliza, seems at times a
bit too worldly for a boy, but
his magnificant voice over-
comes any faults.
The total excellence of "My
Fair Lady" makes the whole
movie expert, entertaining, and
generally "loverly."

POCKET THEATRE
Critic Reviews Williams Play: " Streetcar"
by Malie Bruton
The building at 535 Court-
land Street is a very interest-
ing one. As its name, The
Pocket Theatre, would indicate
it is quite small, but what
goes on there is exciting out
of all proportion to its size,
as the present production of
Tennessee Williams' ' A
Streetcar Named Desire' will
testify.
The stage itself is an un-
sual type, being on a level
with the first row of seats and
surrounded on three sides by
the audience.
It is an arrangement well
suited to the hard reality of
the play; the audience is
brought as close to the situa-
tion as possible, yet never feels
like a spy peeking through a
"fourth wall".
Spanish Department
Has New Member
by Candy Hodges
A new face on campus this
year is that of Miss Ruth Kea-
ton,. of the Spanish department.
Miss Keaton is originally from
South Carolina but now claims
Atlanta as her home.
From Camden, South Caro-
lina, she was coordinator of lan-
guages in the city schools there
for eight years. Under her di-
rection they Ij^gan Spanish in
the elementary schools, and es-
tablished four years of high
school Spanish and a language
laboratory.
She received her B.A. from
Columbia College in Columbia,
South Carolina, and her M.A.
from Middle bury College in
Bermont. She hopes to attain
her doctorate.
Miss Keaton has studied in
Mexico and Puerto Rico and
has traveled in the West In-
dies, Spain, and Europe.
Her classes here at Agnes
Scott include first year, inter-
mediate, and conversational
Spanish. She also directs the
language lab.
Asked about her opinion of
Agnes Scott, Miss Keaton re-
plied that she found Scotties
"highly motivated in acade-
mics".
She likes classical music and
people who are willing to dis-
cuss controversial subjects.
She also enjoys trying to inter-
pret the United States' stand
on international relations.
Last summer Miss Keaton
taught American students Span-
ish in summer school on Mon-
terray, Mexico. This summer
she will do demonstration
teaching for high school Spanish
teachers under the NDEA pro-
gram.
Miss Keaton thinks of herself
as a "career teacher", finding
the experience very rewarding.
She encourages Scott students
to find the same reward.
What goes on on the stage
is fascinating. It is the story
of Blanche De Bois, who fled
from a plantation in Mississi-
ppi to a slum in New Orleans,
and who always fled from rt-
ality.
It is also the story of Stel.
Kowalski, Blanche's sister, and
Stella's husband, Stanley.
It is with these two, to whom
she goes to begin again, that
the forces of reality, old and
new, finally destroy Blanche.
The play is one of Williams'
best, and in his portrayal of
these people not just "degen-
erate Southerners", but people
who are a real part of the
world- he has created a
drama of almost tragic dimen-
sion.
The performances are cer-
tainly worthy of Mr. Williams'
material. Mitzi Hyman as
Blanche could haunt an audience
for years; the depths of the wo-
man she reveals are frighten-
ing.
Her taut, nerve-racked body
looks as if it might shatter
any minute, and there is a
scream constantly on the edge
of her throat.
Miss Hyman's control in a
part that could be easily over-
worked is beautiful as, indeed,
is her whole performance.
Ed Riley is excellent as the
brutish, almost sub-human
Stanley. Although at first he
draws a little audience sym-
pathy, by the end of the show
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.

there can be no feeling for him
but one of revulsion.
Polly Holliday as his wife
gets pity or respect but al-
ways understanding. She is
very good as a woman torn
between the sister who needs
her so desperately and her hus-
band, showing the finer instincts
that link her to Blanche, yet
caught on "the streetcar named
Desire" that makes it impossi-
ble for her to leave Stanley.
Ed Sturdivant is quite good
as Mitch, the man who might
possibly have saved Blanche
for a time, and the rest of the
cast support these four well.
Richard Monroe has done a
good thing for Atlanta in giv-
ing it a production of such
high quality and relevant mean-
ing.

Bonfire, Interboard Game
Kick Off Basketball Season
How will Thursday night be
different from Wednesday
night? Instead of studying from
seven o'clock on, you'll take a
break at 9:30 and come join
in the fun at the A. A. bonfire
on the eve of the kick-off bas-
ketball game.
Have you ever sung school
songs around a blazing fire on
a winter's eve? It's true that
the glow emanates from a
large tin can, but then who needs
an ordinary bonfire? Resource-
ful is the word.
Afterwards at 10:00 there
will be a basketball game in
the gym featuring A. A. and C. A.
pitted against Social Council and
Judicial Council. This will be
completely novel and unre-
hearsed A warning for the
weaker: "there may be blood.'*
So be sure to remember that
Thursday is the night to ven-
ture forth and witness this
special showing of interboard
competion and/or conflict.
Then Friday we'll continue
the momentum with the first
basketball game of the season.
At 4:00 the elder classes will
play, and then at 5:00 Popeye
and Peter Pan will take the
stage. Take the time to sup-
port your team and join the
fun.

From Try-outs
Dance Group try - outs have
been held and seven new mem-

eighteen participants,,
New members are Becky Da-

mar, Penne Nowlin, Pat O'Neal,
Candy Walden, and Betsy White.
Johanna Logan, secretary of
Dance Group, stated 'The qua-
lity of the group as a whole
was unusually good, and we had
a very difficult time making our
decisions."
'The try-outs were geared to
test all aspects of the student's
understanding of dance," says
Miss Kay Osborn, Dance Group
sponsor.
The participants were judged
on ability to perceive the key
lines of movement, skill in em-
ploying locomotor and axial
techniques, sense of rhythm,
and skill in actual performance.
course of a normal day? I de-
light in these small antics that
arrise so unexpectedly.
There was the Freshman at
the first of school who locked
herself out of her closet, and
came immediately to her Ju-
dicial, but being something,
dicial representative.
Not finding my roommate on
the hall, she tactfully ventured,
"Well, you're something on this
hall, maybe you can help me."
Not being on Judicial, but
being something, (whatever that
may entail), I suggested that
she get the key from Mr.
she get the key from Mrs.
Moore.
And there was the Frosh who
rushed to the phone and panted,
"Listen, would you run down
the hall and unplug, my iron.
And hurry, I think the dorm
might be burning downT'
A slight pause and then the
answer, I'm sorry but there's
some mistake. This the
Dean's office."
Then the other day I saw the
sign at the steps of Walters,
"Cat has already had dinner,
thank you." I expected it to be
signed," Love, Cat."
Later that day a Freshman
came along and I heard her
say to Cat, who was reclined
on his towel at Walter's stoop,"
"Look here, see what I've
brought you."
She stopped to play with him
a moment and then resumed on
her course to the library, leav-
ing the animal staring quizzi-
cally at a long piece of
string.
I don't know who was more
puzzled-'Cat or me. But he
had surely arrived-he too was
"something" on campus.
These are the little signs that
the Freshman are healthily
fresh. But then-aren't we all?
Maybe that's what makes life
so interesting.

*Speabin<
by Sandy Prescott
"Any Way Out?" Recently,
Newsweek contained an article
which presented a synopsis of
viewpoints on the situation in
Southeast Asia.
Each comment was from an
expert who has at one time
been closely connected with the
government in South Vietnam:
the French, English, and Amer-
ican voices of ambassadors,
generals, and scholars.
Every one of the eight inter-
viewed agreed that there has
been a "deterioration" in
Southeast Vietnam, most dating
the decline from the overthrow
of the Diem government in Nov-
ember, 1963.
Frederick E. Nolting, Jr.
U. S. Ambassador to the coun-
try at that time, feels the change
was sudden and unexplicable ex-
cept by coincidences.
As Bernard E. Fell, a poli-
tical science professor and
Vietnamese specialist at Ho-
ward University, says, most
probably "the war has really-
been going to hell in a hand-
basket since 1959."
He holds this theory as he
considers the overthrow of
Diem merely a point when
"the unreal facade (of govern-
ment) was destroyed."
Nevertheless, we have de-
teriorated into an obvious stale-
mate in Vietnam, for whatever
reason and from whenever the
deterioration began. All the ex-
perts do not agree that the
stalemate must be irreversile.
Solutions range from an all-
out military attack to a "sele-
ctive bombing" and economic
injury to the "vulnerable"
North Viet Nam, and a "neu-
tralization" and recognition of
the status-quo.
P. J. Honey, one of Brit-
ain's most authoritative wri-
ters on North and South Viet-
nam, violently rejects the
common proposal for neutra-
lization, calling it "a euphem-
ism for U. S. capitulation."
Whatever the eventual and ul-
timate aim of the U.S. in South-
east Asia (and this is a matter
still rather undecided), these
experts seem to feel that sin-
cere negotiations must be car-
ried on, even if simultaneously
with complete military effort.
The solutions all can be con-
densed under a basic heading
which is the psychological need
of the South Vietnamese to
which the United States must
respond.
"Evidently, the Vietnam sse
people do not have the psy-
chological resources to create
a viable state of their own,"
explains Hans J. Morgenthau of
the University of Chicago.
"They are utterly dependent
upon the fact of outside sup-
port, presently in the form of
the American committment.
Pulling out now, Morganthau
warns, would "mean, China
would be recognized as the dom-
inant power in Southeast Asia."
Students Anticipate Frolics;
Dee Clark Provides Music
by Sandy Prescott
Social Council and Athletic
Association have completed
plans for Agnes Scott's annual
winter dance. The custom was
begun in 1960 and until last
year was a more sedate, or-
chestrated affair.
Kathy Johnson, editor of the
"Silhouette," has announced
that the results of student votes
for "Silhouette" beauties will
be made known at the dance.
"Winter Frolics," as this
year's evening is called, will
be held in the spacious Star
Room of the Georgian Terrace
Hotel, Saturday, January 30,
from 8:00 until 12:00.
Echoing into the near-by
Fox Theater will be the
music of Dee Clark and his
Band, as Scotties and their
guests twist and shout themsel-
ves away from the quarter's
academic demands.
Dress for the dance is publi-
cized as "semi-formal." This
means that dates are not requir-
ed to wear tuxedoes.
Libby Malone, President of
Social Council, says, though,
"We hope the girls will still
feel free to wear long or short
formals. Either will be pro-
per."
As usual, there is late 3:00
permission for Scott students.
This extra time is designed for
couples to enjoy a late (or
early?) breakfast or snack
off -campus. The campus date
parlors will be closed at the
regular late time-limit.
Cokes are on tap for refre-
shments during the evening. Da-
tes are "asked" not to bring
their own brand of beverage.
Social Council and Athletic
Association have gone to great
length not to make elaborate
plans for Saturday night, but
there will be a bare, but bea-
utiful lobby decor.
Various committees include
one for dates, furnished by
Terri Singer and Cathy Cento-
rbe and dorm class represen-
tatives.
Tickets will be under the
charge of Louise Allen and Patti
Williams. They will be sold
in the mail room daily from
The only "way out," then,
seems to be a sincere aware-
ness in Washington and Any-
town, U. S. A. of the danger
and depth of the situation.
We must be willing to negot-
iate while also being commit-
ted to the risk of a pure, un-
adultrated war.
As Barry Goldwater obser-
ved, there is a war now. . . we
must give our all to it, or we
will leave not only the people
of South Vietnam to Communist
domination, but ourselves and
the rest of the free world as the
next objective.

Buttrick's RE Message:
What I Must Say"
by Diane Dixon
Religious Emphasis Week is
a special time on this campus.
Again this year we are priv-
ileged to have a very special
leader for this week.
Dr. and Mrs. George Arthur
Buttrick have come to Agnes
Scott from Chicago where he
teaches at Garrett Theological
Seminary.
Agnes Scott College repre-
sents a new experience for Dr.
Buttrick in that he has never
before taught a class compos-
ed entirely of young women.
Dr. Buttrick has received a
good impression of Agnes Scott
and her students. He is also
pleased by the active interest
and response of the students in
his classes.
The Buttricks have opened
their home and their minds
to Agnes Scott students. Stu-
dents who would like to have
a conference with Dr. Buttrick
may make an appointment with
him through the switchboard.
Dr. Buttrick has led an ac-
tive and interesting life. In Eng-
land, his native land, he grad-
uated from college in the same
class as the well-known histo-
rian Arnold Toynbee.
DR. BUTTRICK
However, Dr. Buttrick is not a
follower of Toynbee, who sees
history as a circle through
which our civilization may
break.
The cyclic view of history,
Dr. Buttrick believes, is erron-
eous.
In his latest book, Christ and
History, he writes that his-
tory is a dialogue between God
and man. History, Dr. Buttrick
says, is made up of human be-
ings.
"What I feel I must say"
will guide Dr. Buttrick's choice
of subjects for his lectures. To
everyone here at Agnes Scott
Dr. Buttrick has something to
say.

97 years of age at the time of
her death.
Funeral arrangements were
incomplete at the time the Pro-
file went to press.
A book fund was established
at the college many years ago
as the Louise McKinney Book
Fund. The income from this fund
is used as a prize for the best
collection of books accumulated
in any one year by a student.
Muriel Harn, professor
emeritus of German and Span-
ish, died Tuesday, January 26,
1965, at her home in Decatur.
She had been ill. for several
months.
Miss Harn came to Agnes
Scott in 1921 as associate pro-
fessor in the department of
romance languages, and later
became chairman of the de-
partments of German and Span-
ish. She retired in 1964 after
43 years as a member of the
faculty.
She was one of the found-
ers and a charter member of
the college's chapter of Phi
Beta Kappa.
At the time of her retirement,
Miss Harn was described in
the 1964 "Silhouette," the
school yearbook, as "an indi-
vidual of outstanding and in-
numerable talents." The tri-
bute continued: "Her students
say that she is personally 'en-
thusiastic and warmly human,'
a teacher for whom they want
to work,"
Miss Harn, born in Baltimore
in 1894, was graduated from
Goucher College in 1915. She
received her Ph.D. degree from
The Johns Hopkins University
in 1919. She later studied in
Germany, Spain, and Mexico.
MISS HARN
Funeral services will beheld
Wednesday at 4:00 p.m. at the
Columbia Presbyterian Church.
The Rev. Lee B. Willingham
and Dr. Wallace M. Alston will
officiate. Interment will be in
Baltimore.
The college has established in
honor of Miss Harn a fund of
$2,000 to be called the Muriel
Harn Book Fund. Any former
students or other friends of
Miss Harn who wish to express
appreciation of her in a tangi-
ble way may do so by sending
contributions for the fund to
the development office. The
family has asked that contri-
butions to the fund be made in
lieu of flowers.

Elections: A Serious Matter
This spring we are again faced with the problem of choos-
ing our leaders for the coming year. The procedure at Agnes
Scott is not one of poster-hanging campaigns.
It is rather a serious matter-a choice made with great care.
Each student may have a voice in the nomination of candidates,
and, subsequently, in the election itself.
This opportunity is first made possible through the function
of Nominating Committee. The committee, which met for the
first time last week, is composed of seventeen key senior of-
ficers.
These officers make the official committee nominations, but
their individual decisions are by no means the final voice.
The most important part in committee proceedings is played by
students who are not members of the committee.
Last year's Nominating Committee for the first time ac-
cepted student petitions suggesting possible nominees. This year
the committee will again accept these suggestions.
Students should petition for offices in which they are inter-
ested. They should include a statement concerning interest and
ability.
Petitions can also be filed suggesting a friend or classmate who
one feels is eminently qualified to fill a certain position.
Student petitions are carefully studied by Nominating Com-
mittee in their effort to provide the best possible slate of nom-
inees.
Rife For Fashion's Soke
I hesitate to think about what might be next: On top of our "In"
stockpile of Weejuns, textured hose, Villagers, and London
Fogs we have tossed an infinite number of pierced earrings.
The Pierced Ear Look is popular on many campuses. Well-
stocked jewelry stores and fashion magazine advertisements
encourage the rite.
Pierced earrings have their advantages. They are dainty, fe-
minine, and sexy (sometimes). There is less danger of losing
expensive pierced earrings. They're great for gypsy moods. .
Bad points include the possibility of an infection and the ever-
present fear of snagging an earring. Pierced ears are frustrat-
ing if one feels "out of the mood" for jewelry.
But the fascinating angle of the pierced ear phenomenon is
the complexity of the folkways and mores which cluster around
it.
It is almost an insult to one's honor to have the rites perform-
ed by a doctor. The surgeon must be an amateur, preferably
a slightly jittery classmate.
After having one's ears pierced, there are two proper res-
ponses. One may say that "it didn't hurt at all," in a nonchal-
ant tone of voice. Equally acceptable is a weak, "I fainted the
minute I saw that needle coming toward me."
The one valid criticism on pierced ears is the attitude that most
initiates hold toward them. How many girls on this campus
have their ears pierced just from an esthetic motivation? I
wonder how many will keep them when the fad has waned.
Pierce your ears if you have thought about it and really want
to have it done. Don't pierce them solely for your moment of glory
when you waltz (or wobble) into the Hub straight from the oper-
ating room.
Of course, it really isn't a matter of life or death.
. . . Words are words; I never yed did hear That the bruised
heart was pierced through the ear.

Oh well. At least we haven't reverted to swallowing goldfish.

C. A. Service Projects
Offer Chance To Serve
by Libba Goud
During the college years, it is too easy to get cut off from the rest of the world. Children strug-
gling through grammar school or a serious illness are easily forgotten in the rush of classes,
dates and stydying.
The Christia n Association of Agnes Scott gives students an opportunity to fulfill the needs of
the community through its service projects.
Ranging from Juvenile Court
to the Mary Elizabeth rest home
for aged persons, these pro-
jects are open to the entire
student body.
Girls working on tutorial pro-
jects help boys and girls in the
4th, 5th, and 6th grades with
their schoolwork. The children
usually need ths most help in
reading and math, and just plain
encouragement to stay in
school.
This project was begun last
year in response to a request
from the Wesley House, a Met-
hodist community service
center. C. A. works in conjunc-
tion with Wesley House and se-
veral Emory students.
According to Portia Morri-
son, C. A. Director of Service
Projects , the results have been
fantastic.
A representative from the
United States Education Depart-
ment was extremely interested
on observing the project. He
stated that he intends t o report
to the Health, Education, and
Welfare department about its
progress.
Any students interested in
participating should contact
Marge Joyce, the chairman.
Tutoring can be done on any
afternoon Monday through Fri-
day at 3:30.
A project which needs more
girls is the Scottish Rite Hos-
pital. The hospital holds chil-
dren of all ages, who are really
bored. Most are confined to the
bed, and they rarely have visi-
tors.
It is difficult to have group
activities which could be led by
a few girls because of the chil-
drens' illnesses. What they need
is individual attention. Most
are not ill enough to lie quiet-
ly; the majority are limited
only to physical handicaps,
such as hip-length plaster
casts.
Instead of wasting Saturday
afternoon, why not spend it with
a lonely child? Participating
students meet in the basement of
Campbell and walk or bicycle
to the hospital. If you are in-
terested, contact Sheila Terrill
or Frances Wadsworth.
"Service projects are one of
the few opportunities Scott girls
have to serve a community that
serves us in so many ways,"
said Portia. Remember the
problems of other people for an
afternoon once a week.

Arts Council To Give
Short Story, Dance
by Ann Roberts
Arts Council will present the
Convocation program, Feb-
ruary 3, under the leader-
ship of Bonnie Jo Henderson.
"We want to present the kind
of thing Arts Council is in-
terested in, to show what it
does, rather than just to talk
about it," says Bonnie Jo"
We want to give an idea of
the artistic process."
The basis for the program
will be one of Bonnie Jo's own
stories, on which she has been
working with the help of Miss
Margaret Trotter.
Malie Bruton will read the
story, which is about a trip
taken by a nine-year-old girl
who sees everything in terms
of color and who paints what
she sees.
As the story reaches its cli-
max, Debbie Potts will inter-
pret it in dance. Luanne Ter-
rill is in charge of the music
which Bonnie Jo hopes will
be "impressionistic, perhaps
Ravel."
The presentation will extend
into the lobby where there will
be an exhibit of art that fits
with the story. Cappy Page will
display some of her work on
children; other featured artistis
will be Betsy McCord and Dot-
tie Radford.
CA Vocational Series
Young Atlantan Owes Much To Scott
by Wallace Bryan
"Everything I learned at Ag-
nes Scott, I have used, not es-
Decially to make a dollar, but
just to live," said Mrs. Ma-
son Louance during an infor-
mal discussion last Thurs-
day afternoon in Rebekah Rec
Room.
Mrs. Louance, a 1955 gradu-
ate of Agnes Scott, has since
that time had a very succes-
sful career in advertising with
the First National Bank of At-
lanta she now teaches lip-read-
ing to children at the Atlanta
Speech School.
Mrs. Louance discussed the
advantages of a liberal arts ed-
ucation and the importance of a
woman's developing a broad
outlook rather than attempting
to specialize too early.
"Women said Mrs. Louance,
"Should be as broad as they
can and learn as much as pos-
sible. When you have a liberal
arts education, you can turn in
many directions and do many
things.
"You only learn enough at

Southern Literary Festival:
Student Entries Encouraged
Entries may now be turned in
for the Southern Literary Festi-
val, to be held this year at the
University of Mississippi.
Manuscripts in the following
categories are eligible: short
story, one-act play, poe-
try, familiar esaay, and criti-
cal essay.
Members of Aurora literary
staff and the English Depart-
ment will serve as judges for
the campus competition, after
which two top manuscripts in
each category may be sent to
the Festival judges.
First and second prizes are
$25 and $15.
Some thirty colleges and uni-
versities belong to the Festi-
val organization.
Since Agnes Scott has won
prizes or honorable mention
in all categories except poe-
try, bards are especially need-
ed.
For the Festival, to be held
April 22-23, early plans inclu-
de Eudora Welty and Robert
Penn Warren as visiting wri-
ters. It is hoped the Faulkner
home will be open at that time.
The deadline for entries in the
Agnes Scott competition is Feb-
ruary 15. Manuscripts should
be sent through the campus
mail to Miss Trotter or left in
her office.
vocabulary in livng. Agnes
Scott gives you the raw mate-
rial to refine later and to re-
fine beautifully, not cynically."
By having an optimistic view-
point which she developed to a
great extent at Scott, Mrs. Lou-
ance has been able to maintain
confidence in her abilities and
to approach any task, no mat-
ter how difficult, with enthus-
iasm.
Although Mrs. Louance had
been for several years a very
successful career woman, she
began to realize that what she
was doing was simply a repet-
ition of what she had done for
several years. She wanted
something more.
I wanted to be me, to learn
to live with society construct-
ively," said Mrs. Louance. "It
is our nature as females and
women to live outside oursel-
ves."
She then traveled in Europe
where she began to do things
she had never done before and
to experience a real "waking"
attitude.
There she met her husband,
who is now a professor of Eng-
lish literature at Emory Uni-
versity.
Mrs. Louance concluded her
talk by saying, "Life is all ac-
tion on the other side of a de-
gree. You have to put in in-
formation so when something
woman's developing a broad
outlook rather than attempting
to specialize too early.
Ayse Tells Future Plans
And Views Of America

Mademoiselle Names Four
To 7965 College Board
by Cathy Walters
In the Islam religion a few
nights each year are deemed
lucky. There is a tradition that
a person born on one of those
nights will have the best of luck
throughout his life.
Ayse llgaz was born on such
a night twenty years ago, and
the tradition has certainly held
true so far.
Ayse is currently a member
of the Junior class at Agnes
Scott. She is the daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Cela llgaz and has
a very small two year-old bro-
ther.
Ayse came to Scott after gra-
duating from the American Col-
lege for Girls in Istanbul,
Turkey. She had previously at-
tended a Turkish high school.
Ayse entered the American Col-
lege for Girls in 1957 and
studied there for six years.
Two of these years were spent
in an intensive study of the
English language. She earned an
American Junior College Dip-
loma along with a Turkish Ly-
cee Diploma.
Mrs. Catherine Sims of the
Agnes Scott History Department
was the Dean of Faculty of the
college in Istanbul for four
years.
After having applied to Agnes
Scott, Ayse discovered that
Mrs. Sims was a member of
the faculty. Ayse says that Mrs.
Sims has helped her very much
in adjusting to an American
community.
Ayse has had some exper-
ience in living with an Ameri-
can family in Toccoa, Georgia,
as a participant in the Exper-
iment in International Home-
living before coming to Scott.
She has found that American
slang expressions are very hard
to understand. The expressions,
"pulling your leg", "putting
your foot into your mouth,"
and "being all thumbs" still
send Ayse into spasms of
laughter.
Ayse has been struck with the
emphasis on conformity and so-
cial acceptance. She says, "In
Turkey it is good if you are a
little different, but here people
try more to be alike."
From the point of view of so-
ciety as a group she thinks the
conformity is good enabling us
to work well together because
we have learned to co-operate.
Still she adds that we must
do justice to ourselves and try
to be a little bit more indi-
vidualistic.
Ayse has a double major in
psychology and in English. Af-
ter graduation from Scott, she
would like to get her M. A.
in psychology and return to Is-
tanbul to teach.
Since more and more women
are working in Turkey, there is
definite need for schools to care
for the children during the day.
Ayse's big ambition is to set
up a nursery school in which
the children would not only be
cared for but also would be
taught.

To Present
Thomas Play
A gift will be presented to the
campus Friday evening, Feb-
ruary evening, February 5.
Arts Council has planned a
dramatic reading of Dylan Tho-
mas's unforgettable play, "Un-
der Milk Wood."
The play is a portrait of a
day in a small Welsh village.
The play, Miss Richardson
says, is "sometimes lyrical,
sometimes quite baudy; it is
satirical, and often sentimen-
tal."
Miss Mary Hart Richardson
is working with Blackfriars"
Sue Robetts in directing the
presentation.
There are many "voices" in
the play, but only several key
parts. Of the students who tried
out for the reading, Malie Bru-
ton, Barbie Symroski, and Sha-
ron Lagerquist were chosen for
the parts.

Hubert New Addition
To French Faculty
by Candy Hodges
A new face in the French de-
partment this year is Mrs. Cla-
ire Hubert, wife of Richard Hu-
bert , Atlanta attorney. Mrs.
Hubert is originally from Jack-
sonville.
She attended Duke Univer-
sity and graduated with a B. A.
from that institution. She rec-
eived her M. A. from Emory
University and will submit her
doctroral thesis in March.
She is doing her doctoral
work on the comparison of the
poets Gerard De Nerval and
William Butler Yeats.
She also rec^ ived a Fulbright
Scholarship to study in France.
After completing her study,
Mrs. Hubert and her husband
rented a Volkswagon and tour-
ed Europe.
Mrs. Hubert has taught at Og-
lethrope and Emory. She has two
children, a boy five years old
and a girl four years old.
When asked for her opinion of
Agnes Scott, Mrs. Hubert said
that although Scott has a fine
academic level, the students are
a Little passive.
She said she thought that the
students should become actively
interested in something and
speak out for it.
This summer Mrs. Hubert
plans to return to France and
also travel to Ireland to the
Yeats summer school.
Mrs. Hubert and her hus-
band are both active in many
Atlanta activities, including the
Academy Theatre.
Her husband acts non-profes-
sionally and they are very in-
terested in bringing the best
theatre possible to Atlanta.
And what a game I The Judi-
cial judges and the Social Cou-
ncil belles displayed dazzling
tactics in their basketball vic-
tory over A. A. and C. A.
Thursday night.
Despite the halleluias of our
angelic participants and the
zest and brawn of our athletes,
the final score of 17-9 could
not be repressed. The fore-
boding figures in black (Judi-
cial that is) were not to be
outdone.
The spectators were enthusi-
astic, the plays were chao-
tic, and the evening was a grand
success!
Now that you have had liv-
ing proof of the fun available
in this great sport, come each
Friday at 4:00 to the class
games.
Orphaned Scotties
Need Alma Mater
Mortar Board, heading a se-
arch for an Agnes Scott Alma
Mater, urges all talented stu-
dents and faculty members to
write music and lyrics for a
school song.
"The lack of an Alma Mater
is noticed at graduation, inves-
titure, and other school occa-
sions," stated Elaine Orr, cha-
irman of the drive for the new
song.
Those interested in submit-
ting songs for consideration
should let Dr Alston know about
their plans. Elaine has stencils
on which the music and lyrics
can be copied.
The official Alma Mater must
be approved by a screening
committee, the student body,
the faculty, the administrat-
ion, the alumnae, and the board
of trustees.
All songs must be turned in
to Dr. Alston on or before the
8th of February.
Songs which pass the screen-
ing committee will be sung
before the student body by the
Glee Club during Winter or
Spring quarter. When they are
presented, they will be sung
several times so that every-
body can get used to them.

Jnt ernationa
Speakin
by Sandy Prescott
Reprinted from LIFE, January
29, 1965:
One damp night 10 days ago
a boy pushed through the crowd
outside 28 Hyde Park Gate in
London and handed a single hy-
acinthbuib to a policeman, to
be delivered the the sick man
inside. "I've read about Wins-
ton Churchill in my history
books," he said.
The lad said he was sorry
Sir Winston was sick. Then,
with his gift, he linked himself
personally with the awesome fi-
gure of the history books.
In much the same mood of
sorrow and awe and hope
the world stood by as the in-
domitable 90 year-old Sir Wins-
ton fought for his life.
Who now alive can remember
a day when he did not know the
name Winston Churchill?
Most remember it best from
World War II, when as prime
minister of Britain, he stomp-
ed around in his siren suit,
his distinctive voice, and his ci-
gar and his "V" sign all fir-
ing simultaneously at the en-
emy.
He called it "Britain's finest
hour," It was also Churchill's
and perhaps the free world's.
Yet much of his achievement had
gone before; there was much
still to come. . . and always
with a flourish.
Even his arrival in the world
was full of drama. His Ameri-
can mother, Jennie Jerome of
New York, gave birth prema-
turely in the cloak room of
Blenheim Palace, ancestral
home of his father, Lord Ran-
dolph Churchill, while attend-
ing a ball there in 1874.
From that moment on, no ca-
tegory could ever hold Winston
Churchill, no era contain him.
He was politician, author,
historian and statesman and
also painter, wit, hearty eater
and drinker, matchless orator.
He lived to watch his procla-
mation as an honorary Ameri-
can citizen the first and only
one in 1963.
Stubborn, mercurial, opinio-
nated, Churchill was not always
easy to get on with or always
loved. His personal fortunes
rose and fell; the empire he re-
vered and served melted away
in his time.
Yet he also revered and ser-
ved the free world, moving with
it from imperialism to a cher-
ished dream that the English-
speaking nations could lead all
men to freedom.
The world he loved survives
because of what he, more than
any other man, did to save it.
He swept away boundaries with
his vision, hatred with his
magnanimity, fear with his
courage.
It is comforting to know that
toward the end of his splendid
life Sir Winston knew for sure
that the world loved him back.
Sophomore Parents Weekend
Fights Winter Quarter Slump
by Diane Dixon
For Agnes Scott sophomores,
this weekend, February 12-14,
will split winter quarter into
two parts, before and after.
This is the occasion of the
annual anti-Sophomore Slump
campaign led by the administra-
tion, the parents, and the sop-
homores themselves.
On Friday parents will regis-
ter and enjoy coffee in Walters
Hall from 9 a.m. till 12:30
and from 2 till 5 p.m.
Friday's chapel at 10:30 will
be conducted by Dr. George A.
Buttrick. Dr. Buttrick is visit-
ing professor of Bible at Agnes
Strott. He is also editor of
the Interpreter's Bible.
Parents will be treated to a
vie\v of how this middle half
lives during Friday and Satur-
day open house. Sophomore
rooms and the day student loun-
ges will be open to parents
from 2 till 3:30 on Friday and
from 12 till 1 p.m. on Satur-
day. Open house in the Winship
living room will be held from
3:30 to 5, Friday afternoon.
Friday at 5 p.m. parents
will sec the battle of the bas-
ketball Titans as the Sopho-
mores and the Juniors clash in
Bucher Scott gymnasium.
Since these two classes are ar-
chrivals, the game is sure to
be exciting.
Friday evening there will be
two performances of the Dolphin
Club water show, "Une Aven-
ture a Paris." The first per-
formance will be at 7:30 p.m.
and the second at 8:45.
Saturday morning chapel will
begin at 10:10 a.m. The Agnes
Scott Glee Club and the Dance
Group along with members
of the sophomore class will
present an original program.
At 1:00 there will be a special
luncheon in honor of parents
in the dining hall. Part of the
luncheon program will be the
performance of the "award win-
ning" sophomore class song.
Dr. and Mrs. Alston will re-
ceive parents in their home Sat-
urday afternoon from 3:30 to
5:30.
In addition to these scheduled
activities Bradley Observa-
tory will be open to visitors
from 7:30 to 9:30 on Fri-
day and Saturday evenings.
The art gallery in Buttrick
Hall will also be open and will
feature a special exhibition of
student art with emphasis on
sophomore work.
Of course, one of the high-
lights of the weekend for so-
phomore parents is attending
classes with their daughters
on Friday and Saturday.
The parents are confronted
with old memories and make
new ones, and embarrassed so-
phomores endeavour to impress
their parents with a good per-
formance.
This is the plan for battle
against the monster, Slump.
Let's all try to make it a suc-
cess.
Dolphins Plan Show
With Parisian Theme
by Sharon Lagerquist
Accompanied by cries of
"Listen to the music" and by
sloshes of water, the Dolphin
Club splashed and dived through
another of the many practices
for their water show, "Une Av-
enture A Paris.
It is to be given at 7:30 p.m.
and at 8:45 p.m. both Thursday
and Friday nights. The public
and campus are invited Thurs-
day evening.
New Reorganization Ideas
by Poppy Wilson
Since fall retreat the keynote
of campus thought has been "re-
evaluation." The Student Reor-
ganization Committee, after a
careful study of past practice,
has proposed several changes
in student offices, and the order
of their election.
Trie first proposal is that Sec-
retary of Student Government be
the first elected Junior office;
that Student Recorder be the
second; and that Treasurer of
Student Government be the
third,
T3ie second proposal is that
Secretary and Treasurer of
Student Government be remov-
ed from Judicial Board, and
that Student Recorder be re-
moved from Representative
Council.
The third proposes that the
Junior Day Student be removed
from Judicial, and that a Jun-
ior or Senior Day Student be
elected as a separate mem-
ber of Judicial.
NANCY WHITESIDE and Laura Morgan look on as Jere Keenan
and Angela Lancaster play Carol Sutton and Louisa Philpott in
the Social Council Bridge Tournament, May C. Brown and
Sally Barr won for overall point average Saturday afternoon.
The scores of the North-South and East- West winners will be
entered in the Southern States Division. The winners in each
of the National Association of College Union areas will compete
in Chicago in April. Scott's North-South winners are May C.
and Sally. Kay Harvey and Charlotte Webb won the East- West
Divlsion - (Staff photo by Justice Waldrop)
The proposal also entails the
election of a Senior day student
representative on Representa-
tive Council, who would serve
as Day Student Chairman.
The fourth proposal calls for
the election of three members-
at-large to Representative
Council (one Junior and two
Sophomores).
The fifth proposal asks that
there be no popular nomina-
tions for publications. Nomin-
ating committee will prepare a
slate of nominees from peti-
tions.
The members of the Reor-
ganization Committee are
Nancy Yontz, Sara Timmons,
Dee Hall, Nancy Auman, Jan
Gaskell, Debbie^ Rosen, and
Lynne Wilkins.
These people or the members
of Representative Council
will gladly answer any ques-
tions relating to the reasons
for these changes, and the bene-
fits to be derived from them.
On Thursday February 11 in
Chapel we will vote on these
propos Is.
It is >oth important and es-
sential o have a quorum for
this vote Representative Coun-
cil stro Ly urges (and de-
mandsl) that everyone come.
Miss Manuel, the author of
"Listen to the music" is the
head director and "choreogra-
pher" for the show. Members
of the club direct different acts
themselves. The theme is "I
love Paris," and the show in-
cludes eight act.;, all don io
French melodies.
The first act is entitled
"Street Sweepers" and th
swimmers a-e Patsy Williams
and Cheryl Dabbs. Next on the
program is "Perfumes." The
fragrant perfor.n - ? in this
very difficult act are Taffy Mit-
chell, Mary Lowndes Smith,
anc! Betsy Bainbridge.
Kenney Knight, Fenton Allen,
Caroline Amason, Susan John-
son, and Nancy Bland depict
Parisian models in the skit
"Designer." You can pick out
your favorite hat while listen-
ing to "C'est Magnifique." Of
course, a little French "Cafe"
comes next, and the swimmers
Sally Barr, Cookie Johnson, and
Patty Williams.
"The Artist," executed by
Betsy Bainbridge, is the last
act before intermission. This
and the preceding acts will bring
you back, thirsting for more.
The first skit after inter-
mission is named "Flowers,"
and the performers are Bar-
bara Dowd, Helen Mann, Julia
Murray, and Marie Moore. Fol-
lowing is "Left Bank" with
Binky Benedict, Laura Morgan,
Marsha Murphy, and Cookie
Johnson participating.
Next we are treated to din-
ner wirh "Top Hat," done by
Anne Dinseker and Betsy Ham-
ner.
The evening of "Une A ven-
ture A Paris" is concluded
by a fantastic trip to the "Fb-
lies Bergere"- can-can and all I
The showgirls are Fenton Al-
len Caroline Amason, Marty
Ryan, Sally Barr, Binky Bene-
dict, Cheryl Dabbs, Barbara
Dowd, Susan Johnson, Kenney
Knight, Helen Mann, Marie
Moore, Taffy Mitchell, Nancy
Bland, and Marsha Murphy.
Now who could ask for a bet-
ter , more exciting adventure
in Paris, although a somewhat
damp one?

Reorganization :
Pro and Con
The student body will make a major decision in the move to re-
organize the Student Government Association in student meeting
Thursday.
The reorganization committee has recommended some seven
points which would continue the plan of reorganization which
has been discussed since 1944.
The general trend of the movement has been to separate the
judicial from the legistalive and executive branch of student
government.
In 1962, Executive Council, which held all power, was abolish-
ed and Representative Council and Judicial Council establish-
ed.
The first three points, if adopted, would remove the secre-
tary and treasurer of student government from their positions
on Judicial Council, making them solely responsible to Re-
presentative Council. The secretary or Judicial Council would be
taken off Rep Council.
The proposed changes would make both councils more indepen-
dent of each other. Five key members, the three just mentioned,
the president of student government and the judicial chairman,
now occupy berths on both boards, resulting in an overlapping
of authority and in areas of concern.
In addition, such action would allow the juniors on each board
to devote more time to their particular boards, without having
to fulfill responsibilities to two.
All this is well and good, but the ramifications of such a dec-
ision deserve serious consideration.
They become aware of the problems facing both boards
and of the precedents by which each council functions.
According to present practice, the three people who appear-
at the spring of their sophomore year to be most likely to hold
the school's top offices their senior year are elected to offices
which give them experience on both Representative and Judicial
councils.
The proposed system would give two people experience on Re-
presentative Council and one person experience on Judicial Coun-
cil during the junior year, cutting down on the qualifications of
all three, and eliminating the branch, likelihood of running for
a position in the other branch.
Perhaps such an objection should not, in itself, mean the de-
feat of the resolution.
However, if the proposals are adopted, there should be an
increased importance placed on the selection of junior officers
who, under the new system, will be channeled into one branch
or the other for service. Both junior judicial members and re-
presentatives need to be chosen with care.
"Blessed be Seynt Valentyn, ^
^ For on this day I chees yow to be myn,
Withouten repentyng, myn heerte swete!"

Profile Staff Shows
Editorial Ability
When voting in Agnes Scott elections, many student have nothing
on which to base their choices. Certainly many have no way of
knowing who is better qualified or who has the ability needed
to fill a certain position.
In an attempt to remedy this situation- at least in the case
of this publication - we have invited eligible members of the
Profile staff to show the student body exactly what they can do.
The next issues of the Profile will be planned and managed
by staff members who are qualified to be nominated for the posi-
tions of Editor and Associate Editor of next year's Profile.
They will plan the content of the issue, place the material,
lay out the pages, approve the headlines, supervise proofread-
ing, write the editorials, and spend about seven hours at the
printer's.
These girls will show you the kind of paper they would like
to give you next year. Their effort certainly deserves your care-
ful consideration.
Examine their work well, talk to the candidates, and your choice
in this election must be an intelligent one.

Service Projects Avail Girls
Of Rewarding Experiences'
by Louise Bruechert
Two of the many service
projects offered to Agnes Scott
students by Christian Associa-
tion are concerned with help-
ing children: Sheltering Arms
Day Nursery and the Metho-
dist Children's Home.
At Sheltering Arms, Scott
students are given the oppor-
tunity every Monday after-
noon from 2:30-4:30 p.m. to su-
pervise recreation for under-
priviledged children from the
Atlanta area.
Nancy Solomonson, who is in
charge of the project, and Mary
Lemley, co-chairman, lead
about three to six girls who care
for and play with the children.
Working mothers can bring
their children to the nursery
from nursery and kindergarten
age up through grade school
years.
The boys are eligible up
through age ten, while girls may
continue until they are twelve
years old. In all there are about
forty children.
The organized recreation in-
cludes art activities such as
making cards for special days,
drawing pictures, and finding
other means of self-expression:
music, stories to be read, and
various games suitable for a
wide range in ages.
Nancy has worked on this as-
pect of Christian Association's
projects for three years and
feels the experience has been
truly rewarding. She has been
able to "watch the individual
children grow", besides having
the reward of giving one hour
a week to the service of others.
Those who have worked at the
nursery would like to have more
girls volunteer for the job, not
only because the project would
be more effective with fewer
youngsters per girl, but also be-
cause they wish to share the ex-
perience with others who might
enjoy it.
If anyone is interested,
she may contact Nancy Solomo-
nson at box 535, or simply
meet the group in front of Main
on Monday at 2:30.
The program for the Metho-
dist Children's Home has been
changed from being similar to
Sheltering Arms to being more
of tutorial project.
Instead of playing with the
boys and girls, the Scott stu-
dents teach them skills such
as reading and counting. There
are usually seven children
from the first grade level with
whom the girls work.
The grojjp meets in the psy-
chiatrist's office at the home
every Wednesday from 3:45-
4:45p.m. This time is tenta-
tive, however, since the pro-
gram is still being changed to
suit as many girls as possi-
ble who would like to help.
If anyone is interested in this
project, she may contact either
Jane McLendon, ext. 219 or
Ruth Van Deman, ext. 309.
They would appreciate your
help.

Sigma Alpha lota
For the rest of winter quar-
ter, composer Benjamin Britten

Jean Hoefer and Margaret
Brauner will represent Pi Alpha
Phi in a debate with two mem-
bers of the Harvard debating so-
ciety to be held in the first week

"Co-education is no educa-
tion" is the topic with Margaret
and Jean taking the negative
side in this humorous debate.

dents and faculty members to

ween Harvard's touring team

Students Approve Judicial Speech
by Ann Roberts
There were the usual gripes
and complaints tha: arise from
the campus everytime that hat-
ed word "compulsory" appears
especially last week before Ju-
dicial Chairman Dee Hall spoke
to the boarding students.
Reaction, however, seems to
run in a different vein. A re-
markable number of students
declined to publicize their opin-
ions and countered journalistic
advances, in horrified tones,
with "Will my name be on this?"
The comments of those who dar-
ed follow.
Claire Allen, sophomore:
"Thought it was a good speech.
I think it is true and I don't
think it can be said often enough.
If the majority of the girls ap-
preciated whal she said we
wouldn't have a problem."
Jane Watt Balsley, sopho-
more: "I think it was very
well said and it was definitely
needed, but I think the whole
idea of the way people react-
ed, the cry of 'Purge I' just
shows the negative attitude to-
ward honor policy that the
peopie on this campus have. And
that's the basic problem. It's
presented negatively and it's
looked at negatively."
Judy Bousman, junior: "I
thought it was very direct and
presented in a way that the stu-
dents could understand it."
Fletcher Cross, freshman:
"She had to do the speech.
I feel for her because I know
she didn't enjoy it. But it
didn't make any impression on
me because I knew all that al-
ready."
Carolyn Dahlem, sophomore:
"Very good speech. She got
right down to earth and really
hit home. I think she said what
had to be said."
Susan Dalton, sophomore:
"Good. I enjoyed it. It was
all called for, all deserved.
She did a really good job."
Martha Doom, junior: "Best
one I've heard since I've been
here. Less sensationalism. She
said it well. The only thing
I don't like is that it has to be
an 'annual winter quarter
speech'."
Ann Gilbert, freshman: "I
thought it was good and neces-
sary, but many of those who
needed it didn't think it appl-
ied to them."
Anne Hutton, freshman: "Id-
eally, of course, Dee should not
nave had to remind us that we
are supposed to live by our
honor. It was a disappointment
to learn that som e of our stu-
dents aren't exercising their
reasonable responsibility in the
maintenance of our policies. I
was glad that such a speech
came to us through our stu-
dent leaders rather than the
administration."
Ellen King, junior: "Ex-
cellent. About time we had
something that strong. It plac-
es responsibility on the indi-
vidual student."
Harriet Kirkley, senior *: "I
thought it was a good balance
between the idealistic and the
practical."
Marilyn Mayes, senior: "I
thought Dee's point was well-
made, but I wish she had been
more specific in speaking of
violations of rules. I would like
to know if the drinking policy
is being broken more than in.
the past, for if this is the
case, I think it is time to
make adjustment in this area."
Gue Pardue, freshman: "I
thought it was excellent, to the
point. It was needed, too."
Suzanne Scoggins, junior:
"An excellent speech-well wor-
ded, well delivered and unques-
tionably necessary- but for
those who are already sinning
it probably didn't do any good,
and those who aren't were
bored."
Susan Thomas, junior: "It
should have been said, especi-
ally the emphasis on the dual
responsibility and the pressure
that's put on Judicial Board. We
need more awareness of the
position Judicial members are
in because of our shortcom-
ings."
'The Pumpkin Eater" Portrays
Moving Aspects Of Womanhood
by Felicia Guest
Atlanta's Fine Art Theatre is
currently featuring "The
Pumpkin Eater." This British
film comes to America trail-
ing an impressive list of acco-
lades from European Film Fes-
tivals.
It seems the Continentals
know a good thing when they
see it.
"The Pumpkin Eater" is a
story of a woman, a wife, a
mother, and a lover. The sup-
erb Ann Bancroft plays
them all.
She is a wife, thrice-marr-
ied, who embraces each hus-
band with a consuming love.
She is a mother who must
give birth to placate the pas-
sion that shames her.
And she is a lover who mak-
es the marital bedroom a hell
of tormented, conflicting needs.
Racine was a master at pro-
traying the intense and pro-
found struggles of mature
womanhood. Had he written to-
day, he would have created
the type of woman Miss Banc-
roft brings to life:
She is a woman filled with
overwhelming needs to love and
to be loved. But she must san-
ctify her needs and desires
with childbirth. She is tortur-
ed by a deep love that to her
is wrong unless it culminates in
childbirth.
The film picks up her story
when she is married to her third
husband (Peter Finch). She al-
ready has eight or nine chil-
dren. She is already exhausted
by the long struggle that racks
the most basic structure
of her womanhood.
Her husband is sick of the
children and has resorted to
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.

infidelity to soothe his shatter-
ed nerves. The film relates the
turning point in the life of the
man and his wife:
When he learns that his wife
is pregnant again, he demands
an abortion and sterilization.
This couple, already so tired
and so drained, makes a mon-
umental but intensely human
effort to save a marriage and to
save what has become only a
shell of a woman.
Peter Finch creates with tre-
mendous talent the husbandwho-
finds himself in a suffocating
position from which he can ex-
tricate himself only at the ex-
pense of other people he loves.
But "The Pumpkin Eater"
is the story of a woman, and
his struggle fades before the
white-hot passions of Ann Ban-
croft.
She is the modern Racinian
heroine, drawn with the indes-
cribable sensitivity that she
alone among the current crop of
actresses seems to have.
She is a woman caught in a
dilemma. And the stunning Ban-
croft talent throws woman-
hood into its most complex,
most moving, most magnificent,
and most tragic light.
Pensees
Grace Winn
Those who clamor for a "hard line" on Communism can see
very clearly the threat of such a system's taking over in this
country, but they just can't believe that it would ever come to
nuclear wa
The pacifists can see very clearly the potential total dest-
ruction of nuclear war, but they just can't believe that the United
States would ever fall to Communism.
My friends in SNCC are very concerend about human rights and
seem to have no regard for human relations.
I am confused by the terms "left" and "right." I see the poli-
tical possibilities as being rather like a triangle:
A government must struggle to maintain order, justice, and
individual liberty. In the system I have called anarchy there is
complete and unrestricted individual freedom, but no order, and
no justice.
Fascism totally denies both individual liberty and justice,
but is the ultimate in order and efficiency.
That which I have called socialism reaches the ultimate in
justice by making all men. equal, but this is obtained at the
expense of personal liberty.
Such a system, which exists only in theory, by eliminating
all hierarchical government, eliminates all order and efficiency.
Communism in Russia ironically combines some of the ideals
of that form I have called socialism with fascist-type dictator-
ship and control.
Goldwater Republicanism, also ironically, combines the anar-
chist concept of limited government with fascist demagoguery.
American government must avoid all three extremes and find
a balance between order, individual freedom, and justice in order
to survive.

This has been an eventful
week for the sports minded on
our campus.
Thursday, Feb. 4th, the play
night sponsored by A. A. In the
gym was a success for those
who participated. Group activi-
ties included badminton, voll-
eyball, pingpong, tumbling, and
swimming.
If you enjoyed the chance
to recreate at night, let A. A.
know and maybe we can plan a
similar night during Spring
quarter.
If you're happy and you know
it, let your voice be heard.
The best board is the one that is
doing the most for the most
people. By giving us your sug-
gestions, we're halfway there
toward being a more effective
A. A. board.
Friday the basketball games
were the occasion for some ex-
citing play and high scoring.
In the 4:00 game the Fresh-
man bested the competitive
Juniors to win in an exciting
three minute over time period.
Katherine Mitchell dropped
in a free throw before the buz-
zer to add the extra point
and put the Frosh on top. The
final score was 28-27. Con-
gratulations to Frosh Lucy
Rose, who split the nets for 21
points.
The 5:00 game was a high
scoring skirmish with the Sen-
iors finishing off the Sopho-
mores at 42-16. Sue Mars-
hall initiated a dazzling scor-
ing attack to end the game
with 27 points to her credit.
At the midpoint of the bask-
etball season, the Freshman
and the Sophomores are tied
for first with each class win-
ning two games and losing one.
The Juniors and Seniors fol-
low in second place with each
having one game win and two
losses.
Anything could happen this
Friday so come join your team
and the Sophomore parents and
guests for the games. At 4:00
the Seniors will meet the Frosh,
and at 5:00 the Junior-Sopho-
more game will follow.
This past Saturday on Feb-
ruary 6, Scott was host to
about 45 or 50 guests
who came down for a basket-
ball playday.
Sally Blackard, A. A. mana-
ger, reprots that the day was
fun for all. Woman's College
of Georgia was the champion
for the day with victories over
Scott and Brenau.
The Scott team gave Woman's
College a spunky fight, how-
ever, before losing to them
45-33.

International Union Of Students
Shows Discord In Communism
by Betty Miller
The clash between pro-Soviet
and pro-Chinese delegates at
the Eighth Congress of the In-
ternational Union of Students in
Sofia, Bulgaria, was the first
open indication of the Sino-
Soviet conflict since Khrush-
chev was deposed in October.
The early December assem-
bly of the IUS, Communist-dom-
inated youth organization, was
highlighted by a struggle for
control between delegates,
while less committed dele-
gations tried to bridge the con-
flict.
Issues of disagreement were
whether or not criticism of
"imperialism" was to include
the phrase "imperialism head-
ed by the United States," whe-
ther or not the Nuclear Test
Ban Treaty was to be suppor-
ted, and whether "peaceful coe-
xistence between states with
different social systems" was
the most important international
problem, as the Soviets argued
or "tht struggle against U. S.
imperialism, "as The Chinese
argued.
Taking hard stands against
"U. S. imperialism," the test
ban treaty, and peaceful coex-
istence, the Chinese lost their
proposal to change the first
point to "imperialism headed
by the United States."
The Chinese then submitted
an "emergency- motion" against
alleged U. S. agression in the
Congo. Argument over the
motion centered on the question
of specifically naming the Uni-
ted States and its President.
After an eight-hour debate,
during which the Russians pre-
sented a series of telegrams
concerning the Congo situation,
the Chinese resolution passed.

AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE
FEBRUARY 17, 1965
ASC To Celebrate 76th Year
BY BETSY ANDERSON
Agnes Scott College will ce-
lebrate her 76th birthday Mon-
day with Founder's Day obser-
vances which will emphasize the
ideals and purposes of the
school.
Dr. Wallace M. Alston, pre-
sident of the college, noted last
week that the occasion is "a
time to stress the kinds of
things the college has stood
for."
Susan Cobbs, dean of Swath-
more College and former pro-
fessor of classics at Agnes
Scott, will speak at the Foun-
der's Day convocation at 10:10
a.m., February 22. An acade-
mic procession will begin the
annual ceremony.
Other alumnae throughout the
country will hear Miss Leslie
Gaylord, Dr. W. Edward Mc-
Nair, Dr. Catherine Sims, Dr.
George P. Hayes, Dr. Paul Gar-
ber, Dr. Kwai Sing Chang, Mrs.
Clinton M. Schaum, and Miss
Ann Worthy Johnson speak at
special Founder's Day meetings
during the week*
Following the convocation,
Atlanta alumnae will hear a pan-
el of students talk about cur-
rent trends on campus. Miss
Julia Gary, assistant dean of the
faculty, will moderate the pan-
el. Students on the panel are
Marge Joyce, Mary Brown,
Georgia Gillis, Bunny Foster
and Betsy Anderson.
Looking over the past year,
Dr. Alston cited the arrival
of Dr. Theodore Meyer Greene
and Dr. George A. Buttrick,
the progress on the Charles
A. Dana Fine Arts Building,
the gift of $50,000 worth of
paintings and the increasing
interest of Agnes Scott patrons
in the fine arts as among the'
most significant happenings of
the period.
TTie enrichment of academic
offerings and the strong emph-
asis on fine arts will continue
in the next year, he said.
Dr. Greene will be in resi-
dence throughout the 1965-66
session.
In addition, Mrs. Aley Tho-
mas Philip, lecturer in poli-
tics at the University College
for Women, Hyderabad, India,
will be a visiting scholar in po-
litical science next fall quar-
ter. She will teach a course on
the governments of Asia and
will participate in alumnae
continuing education seminars.
Mrs. Philip received her
B. A. and her master's degrees
from Madras University in In-
dia. She will be coming to Ag-
nes Scott under the auspices
of the United States-India Wo-
man's College Exchange Pro-
gram, a program in which 12
other leading women's colleges
in the United States partici-
pate.
Dedication of the new fine arts
building is set for October 13,
1965, and the ceremonies will
kick off a year's emphasis on
the arts. Among the lecturers
who will visit the campus in
connection with the program is
Sir Kenneth Clark, reknown
London art critic.

the American College for Girls
in Istanbul, Turkey, from 1960
to 1963.
Mrs. Sims will succeed Dean
Mary J. Earl who is retir-
ing at the end of this acade-
mic year after 37 years on the
faculty and 15 years as dean
at Sweet Briar.
Mrs. Sims is the wife of Roff

ASC Conservatives
Protest CA Plan
John Birch PR Man Visits
BY LIBBA GOUD
John H. Rousselot, national
public relations director of the
John Birch Society, will be at
Agnes Scott today to give stu-
dents a better understanding
of the ideals of his organiza-
tion.
Rousselot will be having lunch
at 12:30 in the dmiag hall.
Any interested students are
invited to eat with him.
Later in the afternoon he
will give a short informal talk
on what the John Birch Soc-
iety really is, followed by a
question and answer period.
This will be held in the Re-
bekah Reception Room.
Another talk by Rousselot,
though not specifically for Ag-
nes Scott students, may still
be of interest to many. "Civil
Rights: Communist Betrayal of
a Good Cause" is the subject
for his speech. It will be held
in the Air Host Inn at 8:00
tonight. Tickets, costing $1.50
each, may be purchased by Ag-
nes Scott students from Sarah
Uzzel or Claire Allen.
Rousselot was graduated
from Principia College in Els-
ah, Illinois, in 1949 with a B.A.
in Political Science and Bus-
iness Administration.
He has been president of the
Young Republicans of Califor-
nia and director of public re-
lations for the National Fede-
ration of Young Republicans.
He is now a representative to
Congress from California.
The John Birch Society, has
always been a controversial one
because of its ultra-conserva-
tive stands.
BY ROSALIND TODD
The Young Conservatives
Club at Agnes Scott has vot-
ed to take a definite stand
against part of Christian Asso-
ciation's new project entitled
"Opportunities in Human Rela-
tions."
This plan , a copy of which
has been placed on each hall
in the dorms, includes "com-
munications" and "service"
projects in the field of human
relations.
Listed under these topics
are various organizations in
which the students are invited
to participate. Some of these
groups are oriented politically
to the liberal view.
Sarah Uzzell, Conservative
leader on campus, expressed
the views of the Young Conser-
vative in tnis way:
"W eel that such actions do
not hs - a place' in Christian
activitj
"Mor er, we don't feel that
Christiai \ssociation should
enter into he field of race re-
lations by S ggesting organized
participation in such poli-
tically-oriented groups."
In particular the Young Con-
servatives object to three or-
ganizations listed under service
projects and organizations.
Among these are the Student
Non-Violent Coordinating Com-
mittee (SNCC), the Georgia
Council on Human Relations
(GCHR), and the Atlanta Coun-
cil on Human Relations.
The Young Conservatives feel
that each of these organizations
is connected with the far libe-
ral view and the Democratic
Party. The Christian Associa-
tion list does not point this out.
For instance, the purpose of
the GCHR as stated on the list
is "to increase communication
among college students
throughout the state concerning
human rights, to stimulate stu-
dent, interest in human welfare
and civic responsibility, to en-
gage in political and educa-
tional activity.
The purpose of the SNCC is
stated only as "to meet speci-
fic needs as they arise."
No specific mention is made
of the organizations' political
beliefs. The Young Conservati-
ves think that the student body
should be given a chance to
know the background of these
organizations.
They suggest a chapel pro-
gram or debate to establish what
they consider the ultra-left
political influence in these or-
ganizations and to have both
points of view represented.

Student Body
Participation
'Disgusting!'
Dear Editor:
Student participation on this
campus is absolutely disgust-
ing I I see no reason why girls
who are eligible to be in college
cannot take thirty minutes a day
of their precious time to show an
interest in student or class act-
ivities.
Admittedly, high demands
are made on us by studies, but
if we are to become decent citi-
zens one of our key endeavors
should be participation in col-
lege and class activities.
It is sickening and very dis-
couraging to go to a Thursday
Student Government Meeting,
as this past week, when a quo-
rum just a mere quorum-
is the student who is so enth-
usiastic when it comes to advo-
cating change in social regula-
tions? She is most likely catch-
ing a smoke before class,
drinking cffee, playing bridge,
or soms other important invo-
lvement. There is time for tak-
ing part in college activities,
as is shown by several stu-
dents on the campus who are
not necessarily "brains."
Don't let Agnes Scott become
a community of rebellious in-
dividuals who cannot take time
to stand and participate as a un-
ited and concerned body. There
will always be some who will
be completely apathetic, but
there is no reason why nine-
tenths of the student body should
be this way.
Mary Kibler
L'autres
Pensees
Dear Editor,
In regard to Grace Winn's
Pensees in the February 10
issue of the Profile, the writer
of the article stated that she is
confused by the terms "left"
and "right". After reading her
thoughts on the subject of the
"left" and the "right", I must
agree with her that she is indeed
confused.
The writer of the article vis-
ualized today's political possi-
bilities as being like a triangle
with anarchy, fascism, and so-
cialism at the three points, of the
triangle. The fault I find with
this concept is that the three
systems do not represent equal
possibilities as potential choice
by the American public. Com-
munism , which Grace claims
combines socialism with
"fascist-type dictatorship and
control", could hardly have in-
corporated fascism because,
historically, communism was
an earlier movement. Modern
communism dates from 1917
while fascism dates from 1919.
According to the 1961 edition of
the Encyclopedia Britannica, -
fascism, as a political techni-
que, "follows the lead of to-
talitarian bolshevism. . ."
Communism appropriately,
belongs somewhere on the tri-
angle.
After making this historical
error, Grace proceeds to laun-
ch into an attack on Goldwater
Republicanism which she cla-
ims combines the "anarchist
concept of limited government
with fascist demagoguery."
Since limited government is
far from an anarchist concept,
anarchy advocating the des-
truction of all government, and
Goldwater, too much of a con-
servative individual to ever be
a demagogue, I think that Grace
should reevaluate her thoughts
on the present political situ-
ation.

Junior Jaunt
Chases Apathy
Dear Editor
Winter quarter needn't be
dreary Junior Jaunt is almost
here! February 25, 26, 27
are the dates. All that is need-
ed to make Junior Jaunt a ter-
rific success this year is the
interest and support of the en-
tire student body.
The proceeds are going to two
-very worth causes. two-thirdsto
the Marian Howard School and
one-third to Save American
Youth. (Details concerning
these charities will be post-
ed.) Besides raising money for
these charities, the weekend
promises to be filled with ex-
citement and fun.
Class chairmen are well at
work organizing events for Jun-
ior Jaunt, which will begin
Thursday nigh: with a slave sale
and will end Saturday night with
a dance.
We hope everyone on the
campus will help "stamp out
apathy" by participation in Jr.
Jaunt.
Patty Williams
Students
Welcome
Dear Editor:
Many students feel that the
Judicial Council meetings
every Monday afternoon are
only for the select few whom
the student body has elected or
for those who, because of in-
fractions of rules, find.tt nec-
essary to make a special visit.
This is no: the case.
Visitors are very welcome.
If you come you will not be
intruding or catching up on the
latest gossip, for names are
not used when a case is pre-
sented. But at the same time the
procedure in handling a case
is made clear to all tose in
the room.
Elections are just around the
corner. A student should under-
stand how a board functions
if she is to cast an intelli-
gent vote for the candidate of
her choice. More students
should take advantage of the op-
portunity that is open to all.

Arts Council: Needed Stimulation
Arts Council is still in its formative sta-
ges of service to the Agnes Scott campus.
The Council, organized only last year, has
already opened our collective eyes to Che
availability and to the excellence of fine
arts productions all around us.
This year Arts Council has brought us
"La Strada," "Under Milk Wood," "The
Bob," and "Inferno."
The Gallery, its monthly calendar, cata-
logues the fine arts productions for the en-
tire Atlanta area. The Gallery also includes
critical articles on selected productions.
Arts Council has slated another "Inferno"
for early in Spring Quarter. It also plans
to bring another art film to the campus this
year.
This Spring, Arts Council will sketch
out its activities for next year. A tenta-
tive plan is a continuing series of related
art films to be shown throughout the year.
The Council is a non-elective body It
is composed of representatives from each of
the campus fine art organizations, fou_-
art majors, and representatives from eac
of the four classes. n|
This coordinating body seeks to serve
the entire campus through wider represent-
ation. Anyone who has any suggestions for
the Council is invited to talk to any of its
members. She may also air her ideas in
a letter to the Profile editor. bl&
J io3 yniJnij
Bev Allen says tnat tne growtn ot Arts , JfP
Council has been "most encouraging, but it
is still formative."
Acting Chairman Bunny Foster says that
"campus response has been good and enthu-
siastic, among the faculty too. This is what
pushes us along. "-
Agnes Scott needs the Arts Council. It
increases our awareness of the fine arts,
and it stimulates our participation in them.
Support Arts Council with your ideas and
with your participation in the excellent pro-
grams if offers. Through it we move toward
becoming the artistically active and aware
community that a liberal arts college should
be. F. G.

Sophomore Spirits Soar
During Parents 9 Weekend
FATHERS AND MOTHERS cheered along as sopho-
more daughters tried in vain to beat the Juniors at
basjcetball. Here are Mr. and Mrs. Charles Nuckols,
parents of Judy Nuckols.
BY CANDY HODGES
It finally came. And then
before the campus knew it, the
whirlwind of activities planned
for Sophomore Parents Week-
end had been a success.
The first hint came Thurs-
day afternoon when the smiles
on certain sophomores' faces
said some parents had already
arrived. And arrive they did.
Each sophomore proudly show-
ed off her parents all weekend,
starting with coffee and registr-
ation in Walters.
Mama found out that her Scot-
tie really did know how to clean
up her room. Now that she
knows her daughter can do it,
just wait until she gets home for
the summer.
Daddy found that his daugh-
ter's Spanish teacher really
does speak Spanish the whole
time. He even offered to help
with his daughter's calculus to
show off.
PARENTS and sophomores were received by Dr. andMrs. Wallace M. Alston Satur-
day afternoon. Here Mr. and Mrs. S. J. Morcock and their daughter Day, presid-
ent of the sophomore class, chat with the Alstons.
Representative Council Proposes
Two New Offices For Juniors
BY LCKJISE BRUECHERT
Two important offices about
which Rep. Council is consid-
ering changes this year, and
which the student body will
vote on March 4th, concern
juniors. They are the National
Student Association (NSA ) co-
ordinator and the associate edi-
tor of the Profile.
Concerning the Profile Is the
question of whether the asso-
ciate editor may be a junior
as well as a senior. There are
frequently so few seniors
eligible for this position that
it would be more convenien: and
perhaps more efficient if ris-
ing juniors were also able
to fill the office.
In the past the managing edi-
tor did bookkeeping and ac-
counting for the newspaper. The
business manager has this job
now, however, so that the mana-
ging editor has moved into the
position of associate editor.
Jere Keenan, editor of the
Profile, feels the office of as-
sociate editor could be adequa-
tely filled by a junior, and that
a better choice could be made
from among a larger group of
girls.
The question concerning NSA
is that of making the NSA re-
presentative from Agnes Scott
to the national association an
elective office instead of an ap-
pointed one.
The present resolution prop-
oses that an NSA representative
be elected from the rising
junior class before the other
members to Representative
Council are elected. The rea-
son for the representative's
being a junior is that after her
term of office she can still
function as an informed, in-
terested, unofficial member of
NSA.
The National Student Asso-
ciation is the only nation-wide
organization of its kind and of-
fers oppetunities for guest spe-
akers; benefit programs for
students; information about
other campuses, such as other
honor systems; a travel pro-
gram; and various other worth-
while facets leading to an en-
rched curriculum.
Jean Hoef er has done a great
deal of work unofficially toward
furthering NSA on our campus.
Nancy Yontz, president of our
student body, feels that it is a
very worthwhile program of
which full advantage has not
been taken, and which would add
greatly to the Agnes Scott cam-
pus community.
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.

Lost Cards
Social Council president
Libby Malone asks that stud-
not take playing cards from the
Hub even to date parlors or
downstairs in the Hub.
From the fourteen decks of
cards put in the Hub at the beg-
inning of the Fall and Winter
quarters, six or eight decks are
left. Libby said, "The money
for the cards comes from So-
cial Council out of student funds
so there is a loss to everyone
from these missing cards."
Classics
Scholar
To Speak
Professor Bernard M. W.
Knox of the graduate school
of Yale University and the
Center for Hellenic Studies
in Washington will visit the
Agnes Scott campus tonight.
He will lecture at 8:15 p.m. in
Maclean Auditorium; the topic
will be "Cassandra: the Aga-
memnon of Aeschylus".
Knox is one of the foremost
contemporary critics of Greek
drama. His major work on So-
phocles has just been publish-
ed by the University of Cali-
fornia press.
Associate Professor of clas-
sics Elizabeth Zenn comments,
"We consider the lecture timely
because of the contemporary in-
terest in Greek drama among
students of literature, an inter-
est which possible results from
the heavy influence of Greek
drama upon modern drama."
Knox will lecture at Emory
University on Thursday even-
ing. His topic then will be
"Euripides: the Poet as Pro-
phet."

and I'm writing a Chaucer pa-
per that's due tomorrow, I feel
a Chaucerian verse on spring is
appropriate at this point.
To me these lines from "The
Parliament of Fowls" have a
lvrical beauty than can pene-
trate even the smo^ gray-
ness of a study smoker on a
winter Sunday afternoon. Are
you in my existential frame
now? O., K. then the selection
follows:
"Now welcome, somer, with
thy sonne softe,
That hast this wintres wed-
res overshake,
And driven away the longe
nyghtes blakel
Saynt Valentyn, that art ful
hy on-lofte,
Thus syngen smale foules
for thy sake:
Now welcome, somer, with
thy sonne softe,
That hast this wintres wed-
res overshake."
What a gift to be able to
have the bird songs and the
summer sun so close in the
gift of a fourteenth century
poet. He saw the beauty in his
day and he shared it with gen-
erations to come.

Smiles Tell Happy News
By WALLACE BRYAN
Those who can manage to
keep their eyes open and heads
up in the midst of winter quar-
ter slump cannot fail to notice
the flash of diamond rings which
adorn the fingers of newly en-
gaged Scotties and the sparkle
of fraternity pins which many
girls are now wearing. The in-
crease in rings and pins is not
only evident among the seniors
who are planning ahead for June,
but also among the juniors and
underclassmen. Agnes Scott's
"Marriage Class" which is held
to help those Scotties who will
soon walk down the aisle to the
strains of "Here Comes the
Bride" is now attended by rep-
resentatives from all classes.
Kay Roseberry wears the pin
of Jbhnny Saunders, a Chi Phi

is engaged to Bob Cox, a Sig
Ep at Tech. Mary Kibler is now
engaged to Robert Reynolds, a
graduate student at Vanderbilt
University while Judith Weldon
wears the ring of Billy McGuire,
a Georgia law student. Kay
Cook is now engaged to Howard
Schaefer, a student atThe Cita-

According to Judy Roach, so-

an obsession with safety and re-
fuge and features Miss Osborne
as solo dancer.
Betsy Dykes, Leslie Hawkins,
Anne Rogers, and Paula Sa-

dance.
"Tendrils of Restriction,"
the third composition, portrays

position said Miss Osborne, is
"sycophantic subservience to
authority."
The last composition, "Com-
mon Bond", is the resolution
of the first four. Miss Osborne,
Johanna, Debbie and Conya will
appear in it.
Narration preceds each com-
position and serves as a unify-
ing factor to the suite. Music
for the thesis was composed
by Dr. Richard Hensel, assis-
tant professor of music at Ag-
nes Scott, and will be played,
on tape, by five members of the
Atlanta Symphony including
John Adams, assistant pro-
fessor of music.
Miss Osborne's thesis has
been prepared under the dire-
ction of Texas Woman's Col-
lege, Denton, Texas.
Georgia Tech will then per-
form a number of light selec-
tions.
The program will close
with a presentation of several
popular pieces. Agnes Scott
will sing "I Feel Pretty," fol-
lowed by the Tech singers and
"There is Nothing Like a
Dame."
The two glee clubs will sing
together "Halls of Ivy" and "All
the Things' You Are."
The Glee Club members are
really excited about the joint
performance. One freshman
said," I surely hope everyone
will come to the concert, be-
cause the music is fabulous!"
Everyone will have a chance to
vent a universal secret pas-
sion at the pie throw during

Use Votes Wisely
When we return from Spring Vacation it will be time to get
down to the serious business of electing our officers for the
coming year.
There are three pitfalls we must be careful to avoid if we
are to have elections that represent true campus opinion, and
that will give us the best possible leaders.
One, go to election chapels EVERY DAY. Too many of us at-
tend the Monday sessions, elect the big boys, and ignore the
other offices. Granted, voting is a tedious process: But we
negate the value of our votes for the major offices if we aren't
concerned enough to show these leaders whom we really want
in the subordinate positions.
This brings up the second pitfall: Too often we think of these
offices as isolated islands of power. And if we vote according-
ly, we get a cumbersome hierarchy of officers who don't know
how to work together.
Think of who must work closely with whom. Vote for those
who can bring us an effective, united effort, from the highest
office to the lowest.
Agnes Scott student government could easily become a
"divided we fall" regime. Without understanding and coopera-
tion with each other, our officers can do nothing for us.
Thirdly, vote with an eye to the future. Elect subordinate
officers who will be effective major officers in following years.
Remember that legislation is a slow, grinding process. Each
year's leaders must continue the work of their predecessors
if progress is to be made.
This year, elect capable people who will gain the experience
they need to be our leaders in the future.
Have a ball Spring Vacation, but think soberly when you get
back here. We have a lot of potential on the slates this year.
How much of it gets actualized depends on your thorough and
thoughtful voting. p # q #

Standing On Custom
What is there sacred about custom if that custom is wrong?
"It's just Southern custom," I was told this weekend, "and
the can't change it just like that."
This bit of fallacious logic was presented as justification for
the fine old Selma, Ala., tradition of making prospective Negro
voters use a back door of the county court house to register.
More logic was forthcoming. "If a nigra came to my house,
do you think I would let him come to the front door. Heck, no, I
wouldn't.
In fact, one time one came to the front door, begging for some-
thing. I told him, Til see you around back.' Then, at the back
door, I told him I couldn't help him.
"This is just the way it is in the South. They owe us that much
respect."
That last sentence was the one that worried me most. That a
person, living in 20th century, "enlightened" society, could be-
lieve skin color automatically makes a debt outstanding is incre-
dible.
BUT APPARENTLY he does. And he is not alone in the South.
In fact, he may be in the majority, although I would hope not and
I think not.
Southerners have a way of expecting the United States to be run
expressly for them and for their whims. And to hell with the rest
of the country.
That's not the way things happen, however; we still are a part
of the U. S., and, as such, we are expected to abide by its edicts
and laws and, yes, customs.
This may mean in some situations the overthrowing of tra-
ditions that history has designated in intrinsic part of Southern
life.
Morally right or not, they are part of our Southern heritage,
and it is hard to shuck them.
But we must, and Southerners need not fight the change merely
to fight change.
I am not a person who says that change any change neces-
sarily betters society. But when the decision must be made as
to whether we must hold to ancient ways "because it was good
enough for granddaddy" or compromise to an obviously better
position by changing, it seems to me that to do the former is idi-
ocy.
So we are back at the beginning. There are the traditions;
they are wrong, but they are traditions. The question we must
face is this: Do we continue to adhere to the old ways on prin-
ciple, or do we do what is right and catch up with the rest of
the country?
The decision is ours.

The New Diplomacy
THE SUBTLE, ingenious ways of diplomacy have taken a new
form a bit barbaric, but at least new. It's called demonstrat-
ing against the embassy of your choice.
The Russians, Chinese and some African nations have already
developed this technique to some extent.
The United States and its allies have so far refused to use it.
But the embassy demonstration may be the vanguard of the
future, and the United States should start to consider its use.
First, the new method would draw much more attention that
just sending some dry communique. Second, as any psycholo-
gist could tell you, it would draw the people into active parti-
cipation in our foreign policy, rather than merely reading about
it in a newspaper.
The only problem would come in being able to communicate
various degrees of governmental anger. Perhaps for a minor
displeasure, like a burp, we could have 20 or 30 students wav-
ing American flags and chan ing "George Washington didn't like
Communists."
For mors s.2nous confrontations :o our national honor, we
could Increase the number of demon.r raiori, intesi'y their tac-
tics and lengthen their time with, of course, proportionately
decreasing police protection.
For five-star demonstrations not only ink bottles and cray-
ons, but stones and B-B buns could not be used. Students could
shout "Dead Reds."
All this sounds rather silly, and it is.
In our technological age, it is ridiculous that the Soviet Union
has to rely on stones to communicate its foreign policy.

Summer Jobs
For Collegians
In Washington
Getting a job on Capitol Hill
for the summer is much harder
than getting a job with a fede-
ral agency.
Unlike the civil service con-
trolled agencies, Congressional
employers often show political,
personal, geographical, and
even racial favoritism in their
hiring practices.
A student from Pennsylvania,
for example, has a greater
chance of getting a job with a
Congressman from his own
state than with a representa-
tive of another. A Congressman
from one's local district is the
best bet particularly if the
student is willing to work as a
volunteer.
Last summer a total of 510
college students worked on
Capitol Hill 315 of them
men and 185 women. Of those,
273 were in the House and 217
in the Senate while 20 found work
on committees.
Stanford University had the
largest number of students
working on the Hill with 22.
Columbia University followed
with 20 and Harvard, Welles-
ley, and George Washington had
17 each.
Many of the students were
sponsored by their home uni-
versities or by one of the for-
mal internship programs that
ev*st.
Of those who came on their
own, one Columbia University
freshman had written letters
to every Senator and Congress-
man and was finally accepted
as an unpaid intern by only a
handfull.
Summer employees and in-
terns are given a variety of
tasks on the Hill. These may
range from opening mail to re-
searching legislation. Student
aides also write letters and
speaches and clip newspapers
for Congressmen.
A number of special lectures
and social events are arranged
for summer students and an in-
terns' newsletter is even pub-
lished.
Above all, however, summer
students on Capitol Hill watch
and listen. They- rummage
through files and the Congres-
sional Record, question every-
one in sight, attend hearings
and debates, and discuss pol-
itics.

Scott Enters Eleven Girls
For Glamour Best-Dressed
New York is at its very best
in June and will literally be
bursting out all over for the
winners of GLAMOUR Maga-
zine's 1965 "Ten Best Dress-
ed College Girls" contest.
Each year the "Top Ten"
visit GLAMOUR for two weeks
as honored guests. They fly to
New York via American Air-
lines, stay at the lovely Bar-
clay Hotel.
Though the activities vary
from year to year, the fun and
excitement are constant.
The winners learn the inner
workings of a magazine, visit
with leaders of the fashion and
beauty industries, are en-
tertained with the infinite
variety that can only be found in
New York.
For a sampling of the type of
things to come, the highlights
of the 1964 winners' trip to
New York: the two weeks were
off to a swinging start to GLA-
MOUR'S Discotheque Party, at
the Palladium.
One thousand guests packed
the palce to meet the "Ten Best
Dressed College Girls". Trinl
Lopez headed the list of en-
tertainers and even Sammy
Davis, Jr. couldn't resist th
chance to perform.
Killer Joe Piro, master of
the Twist and Frug, had every-
one doing the Monkey, Swim, and
Hitchhiker.
A famous New York news-
paper called it "the party of
the century"; NEWSWEEK got
in "the swim" with a picture
of the "Ten-Eleven." (Identical
twins won as a single entry.)
They visited the World's
Fair; went to the Charles of
the Ritz plant in Connecticut to
learn how cosmetics are manu-
factured; had tea with Madame
Helena Rubinstein in her art-
filled penthouse; even went
swimming at a party at the City
Squire Motor Inn.
Among the fashion shows they
attended were those of a brand-
new designer, William Biddle,
and the fall fashion previews
by grtat couturiers, Pauline
Trigere and Luis Estevez.
The winners went backstage
after Broadway plays to meet
Richard Burton, Beatrice Lil-
lie, and Sandy Dennis, and were

Our staff has tried to fol-

Also we have stressed high
quality photography both in pic-

technique.
The overall format is similar

There is increased emphasis
on our excellent faculty and

All the usual class and or-

Classical scholar Victor
Poeschl will be on the campus
March 3 and 4. He will speak
Wednesday, March 3, in Ma-

"Philosophy and Poetry in Ho-

Bircher Aims, Policies
Discussed By Rousselot
By Candy Hodges
Last Wednesday John H.
Rousselot, national public re-
lations director of the John
Birch Society, was on campus
to speak on the society and
what it stands for.
Mr. Rousselot said that the
Society was formed in 1958
under Robert Welch and ele-
ven associates in Indianapolis,
Indiana.
He also emphasized the fact
that the John Birch Society
is not a political organization.
Fifty per cent of its members
are Republican and fifty per
cent of its members are De-
mocratic. It does not endorse
candidates and gives no money
for any candidate's campaign.
There is no racial or reli-
gious bias. Five per cent of the
members are Negroes, five
percent Jewish, and thirty
per cent Catholic.
It stands with theFBI on the Ku
Klux Klan and has no intentions
for a third party movement.
The main interest of the John
Birch Society is maintaining
our constitutional republic and
combatting any forces which
seek to overthrow it i.e. Com-
munism.
Mr. Rousselot summarized
the Society's objections to the
Civil Rights Bill, federal troops
intervention in local affairs
federal aid to public schools,
the United Nations, and for-
eign aid to communist coun-
tries.
rent academic year in the
United States, first as Sather
Lecturer at the Universityof
California, and presently as
Visiting Professor of Classics
at Yale University.
According to Miss Elizabeth
Zenn, "Dr. Poeschl is one of
the outstanding contemporary
critics of Latin Literature; the
first of his books on Vergil,
The Art of Vergil : Image and
Symbol in the Aenledj is the
most important work of Vergi-
lian criticism since the turn of
the century."
Dr. Poeschl has studied at the
Universities of Grenoble, Cam-
bridge, Munich, and Berlin; and
previously lectured in this
country at Princeton, Cornell,
and Michigan.
He has also published books-
on Cicero and Sallust and pap-
ers on Horace. His Sather Lec-
tures on Tacitus will appear
from the University of Califor-
nia Press probably within
the next year.

"Look Homeward Angel"
Among The Plays Offered
By Malie Bruton
Thomas Wolfe's insistent ef-
forts to become a playwright
met with frustration and fail-
ure. Ironically enough, Ketti
Fring brilliantly adapted his
novel Look Homeward Angel for
the stage and in 1958 wonboth
the Pulitzer Prize and the New
York Critics Circle Award.
This prize-winning play will
open March 16 at Theatre At-
lanta.
By Poppy Wilson
Edith Sitwell, Music and Cer-
emonies^ Vanguard Press,
1964, 44 pages.
With the death o f Edith
Sitwell, England bade farewell
to one of the last, and most
distinguished, of her eccen-
trics. The poetry of Dame Sit-
well, unique in its music and
rich imagery, haunts the imagi-
nation.
She has an infallible gift for
choosing words which most
clearly evoke the mood she in-
tends, and she has the whole-
ness of vision to build with these
words a structure of thought al-
ways concentrated, and always
complete.
She states in the preface,
"although poetry has, or should
have, the beauty of the lily, it
is as unseeing to ask what is
the use of poetry as it would
be to ask what is the use of
religion."
Dame Sitwell certainly did not
struggle to present a compact
"message" in her poetry, but
the exquisite practice of her art
took the thought of her extra-
ordinary mind and shaped it in-
to several significant messa-
ges for us.
In this volume Dame Sitwell
dwells not on life, and not re-
ally on death, but on the ravag-
ing of life by "Death, our one
equality, who holds/ Alike the
maelstrom of the blood, the
world's incendiarism, The
summer redness and the hope
of the rose".
She speaks of Time's draw-
ing birds' feet on young skin,
and of the tattered, mocking
shadows into which valiant
young men will be transformed.
Because of her glory in life,
she, "an old dying woman, tied
To the winter's hopelessness/
And to a wisp of bone," feels
intensely the tragedy of the
Throckmortimer
The outstanding cast is now
in the second week of rehear-
sal. It is headed by Mer-
cer Harris in the role of Eu-
gene Gant autobiographically
Thomas Wolfe. Tony Perkins
played the Broadway role.
The Mother and Father are
played by Francis Mansfield
and Coe Hamling, who are well
known to Atlanta theatre-goers.
disfigurement and finality of
death.
Yet Dame Sitwell does
not leave all life and beauty
unredeemed.
Death is overcome, she
knows, by the "Great Men,"
all artists and men of vision
who "sing/ Green hymns of the
great waters to the dry/And
tearless deserts in the sould
of men."
Compassion can save men
from Death, as can Love, "the
power/ That holds the Golden
Rainers in the heavens, bring-
ing us/ The calyx of the flow-
er of the world."
The subjection of the love-
liness of youth to the harrowing
defacement of death is the most
lamentable of all, and Dame Sit-
well maintains that youth with
its love, can defeat death.
"Although a gray bough
drips/ With dews of death, still
the lost floras of the world/
Lie on young cheeks, young
lips."
Such utterance s seem to come
from the mouth of a Sybil, or
of some ancient and austere
sage.
What they say is both old and
new; it partakes of life and
death, and is knit together with
grandeur, by Love.
Hie
Theatre Atlanta has chosen
to use a non-realistic set. Its
suggestive spac^ arrangement
and skeletal outlines contribute
to the lyrical and dramatic in-
tensity of the play. The pro-
duction, directed by Jay Broad
promises to be exceptionally
exciting.
Elsewhere in Atlanta it seems
to be a season of Shaw. At the
Academy Theatre Frank Wit-
tow is directing The Million-
airess with Jo Demmond in
the title role.
In the course of this knock-
down farce the heroine marries
a prizefighter, learns to hold
her own in his field, and man-
ages to acquire an Egyptain
philosopher-physician. The
comedy opens February 25
(quite a contrast to the pro-
duction of February 24 Ham-
let.)
A former Hamlet, Jonathan
Phelps, plays the lead in Shaw's
Arms and the Man which opens
March 4 at the Pocket Theatre.
Mitzi Hyman, who directed the
current production of Come
Blow Your Horn, is directing
it.
The play is typically Shavian-
comedy with a philosophical and
social purpose. As with Shaw's
Pygmalian, which is now far
better known as My Fair Lady,
Arms and the Man has become
more well known in its delight-
ful musical reincarnation of Th
Chocolate Soldier.
This production of the origi-
nal play should certainly be de-
lightful, and any prospective
playgoer has an exciting few
weeks ahead.
On Campus
This Week:
Several meetings have been

Professor Richard Hocking
from Emory.
Professor Greene spoke on
"Nature of Artistic Insight,"
Professor Hocking's talk was
on the East-West Philosophical
Conference.
Another meeting this week
is being held by the Executive
Board of the Alumnae Asso-
ciation. They will meet on cam-
pus today.

That frustration and depre-
ssion prevail during winter
quarter is a natural phenomenon
at Agnes Scott. We anticipate
it from spring quarter of one
school year right through fall-
quarter of the next.
At the opening of the regis-
tation lines in September we
upperclassmen thoughtfully
prepare the freshmen for the
"worst that is to come." And
as consistently as the moon is
eclipsed at the predicted time,
frustration and depression sha-
dow the Agnes Scott micro-
cosm right on schedule. Un-
canny?
As a rather constant inhabi-
tor of the Hub for the last four
years, this columnist has had
ample opportunity to observe
this phenomenon and has watch-
ed it strike to the absymal
depths some six classes. (I
will have to exclude from this
observation the present fresh-
men class, the majority of
which has not yet discovered
what the building in the center
of the campus is)

Continuing
Education
Program
This quarter the Agnes Scott
Continuing Education Program
offers three courses for alum-
nae and their husbands.
(1.) Dr. Mary L. Boney, As-
sociate Professor of Bible, tea-
ches "The Biblical Concept of
Man." This course deals his-
torically with the Biblical treat-
ment of the nature of man.
(2) "Adolescents, Center St-
age!" is a discussion course
about adolescence as it is por-
trayed by contemporary play-
wrights. Dr. Lee B. Copple,
Associate Professor of Psycho-
logy, teaches the course.
(3) Dr. John A. Tumblin, Jr.,
Professor of Sociology and An-
thropology, teaches "The Am-
erican Negro: From Slavery
Toward Citizenship." This
course involves placing Ameri-
can Negros in context in the
changing pattern of intergroup
relations.
These courses are taught on
campus for five consecutive
Tuesday nights. They are spon-
sored by the Agnes Scott Col-
lege Alumnae Association.

duty to impart to the under-
classmen (thank goodness, the
seniors don't have to exist thr-
ough another) some insights into
and alleviators for the winter
quarter slump.
It seems r.har one cause o:
frus; ration is "he lack y ways
to release tension. During fall
and spri.ig quar'.ers one can
throw rocks, climb mountains
and swing r rom trees. But with
its monsoons and papers win-
ter quarter confines the stu-
dents within the four wall of the
study-smokers.
Running to Buttrick to meet
the deadline on a paper and
scurrying to the infirmary to get
another tranquillizer before be-
ginning the next paper seem to
be the only major outdoor
sports.
Although there once was a
time when trumping your op-
ponents aces in a card game was
great emotional catharsis, un-
fortunately this is almost
impossible now. Since there are
not enough cards in the Hub to
go around, frustration only inc-
reases as one searches in vain
for an unused deck.
But don't despair. Although
Social Council cannot afford to
keep replacing the cards (some
30 decks) which keep mysteri-
ously disappearing, they are
now working on a new indoor
sport called "let's check the
front of every card on campus
for the Social Council insignia."
It should be a good substitute
for Bridge.
Of course, if you are not much
of an athlete there are other
ways to release tensions. A good
laugh, such as that provided by
the Social Council "ole time
movie" on Tuesda y night, is
one such way. Be aware of
such events in future winter
quarters and take advantage of
them.
Finally, if you don't like to
exercise or laugh there is one
last way that I foresee for the
underclassmen to conquer win-
ter quarter slump. Sublimate!
Convey that pent-up tension,
frustration, and energy into
c yiativs sitting s.
Not oily will you be much
happier, bur also ihe staffs of
the Aurora and The Proiile can
stop pulling out rneir nair as
publi ration lime draws near.
Underclassmen, next winrer
quarter try these three eclipse
preventions. Take time from
your studies to exercise and
play, laugh, and create. Per-
haps you can remain undaunt-
ed.

Howard Brings Moral Message
To Students In U.S. And Abroad
FEBRUARY 24, 1965 THE PROFILE
PAGE 5
By Sandy Prescott
Peter Howard is a tall, lanky-
looking gentleman with a veddy
British air in his appearance
and words. Unlike the stereoty-
ped Englishman, though, Peter
Howard is not very reserved
about his feelings.
At least, he is not reserved
about some of them. He is anx-
ious for the entire world to
know exactly what he believes
and thinks.
In his own words, Peter Ho-
ward's "interest is revolution.
It is a revolution involving not
just the West but the world, and
everybody in it. . . a revolu-
tionary commitment to change
the direction of history."
Because of the modem ten-
sion and sticky balance by which
most societies exist, these
words alone are enough to make
he who would utter them very
suspect and "dangerous."
Yet, I think Peter Howard's
revolution is different, as he
claims it is: "It will be ac-
complished neither by hot air or
cold steel, but by an explosion,
a thunderstorm of the human
heart. ..."
Last spring Agnes Scott was
entertained during a convoca-
tion by Mr. Howard's wife and
a lady and her bagpiper, Dame
Flora McCloud and "Sandy".
We all had a jolly time as a
Japanese couple introduced
themselves as being active in
the Moral Re-Armament move-
ment. Sandy gave us a light
laugh as he marched up the aisle
and across Gaines, decked out
in his traditional kilt.
This is rather unfortunate,
for such representatives of
Moral Re-Armament left us
with no sympathy or enthus-
iasm for the organization. The
cyncism and tolerance could not
be hidden from the fa cxs and
smiles of faculty, administra-
tion, and students.
It was a nice, little exhibi-
tion of our liberalism. We pat-
ted ourselves on the back, con-
veniently forgetting that true
liberalism is much more than
mere exposure to unfamiliar
ideas.
Although the representatives
of Moral Re-Armament who
spoke at Scott were not the most
impressive individuals. Per-
haps Peter Howard himself
would not be, but his words
do deserve attention.
He is not a young , particul-
arly liberally-educated rebel,
common to most "revolun-
tionary" groups. He was born
in London, educated at Oxford
University and is considered an
author, playwright and poli-
tical columnist.
As co-author of the book,
Guilty Men, he is consid-
ered to have played a "signi-
ficant" part in arousing pub-
lic opinion against appease-
ment and preparing for the ad-
vent of Winston Churchill as
wartime Prime Minister.
Although pamphlets published
by his friends can naturally be
expected to be selective in
their information, it can be saf-
ely claimed that he is an
extensive world traveler,
spending most of his time a-
broad speaking, upon invitation,
to groups of students.
Since 1961 Mr. Howard has
been in charge of the world
program of Moral Re-Arma-
ment. The best way to evaluate
this program is Irom excerpts
of Peter Howard's speeches
during a recent tour of Ameri-
can colleges.
The basic tenent of the pro-
gram is that the world is going
to be changed onlv by people
who change. A cliche , perhaps,
but an unfamiliar one to those
of us who sit back and let things
"take their course."
"We get called many things
worse than Utopian. . . but no-
body is more Utopian than peop-
le who think they are going to
get the world straight without
dealing with the fundamental of
society, which is man."
Unlike many "revolutionary"
estly say I have love in my
heart for every man, woman and
child I have met on earth.
I am not a racist. I am not a
fascist. I am not a Communist.
I do believe that an extremity
of evil must be met by an ex-
tremity of good. And I think
we are in an age when there
is an extremity of evil."
In addition, Mr. Howard is not
a pacifist, for "I would be
quite willing to fight and die to
make available to other people
the freedom of choice on which
I believe the development of
the human spirit rests."
Finally, Mr. Howard is not out
to "understand" Communism,
Worm kocmmicwt:
groups, Moral Re-armament is
not anti-God or anti-religion.
Its principles are the "true and
traditional property" of the
Christian Church. Its program
is one which "believes in ab-
solute standards of honesty,
purity, unselfishness, and
love."
Q: "Sir, I am not trying to
be difficult, but are you an ex-
tremist?"
A: "In the sense in which the
word is used now, I am not
an extremist because Icanhon-

for he has no sympathy at all
with their ideology.
He is not looking for "con-
verts" in the usual sense of the
word. His is not an organiza-
tion which is membership or
power-crazy.
You can not even join Moral
Re-Armament, for it is not an
organization at all. It is "an
idea on the march," and Peter
Howard believes "it is growing
verv fast."
Condition Yourself
For Spring Vacation
by Diane Pulignano
What art- YOU doing for
spring vacation? It's less than
three weeks away, so you had
better make your plans i f you
haven't already.
The usual way it's spent is
cooped up in a room, with a
minimum of hours spent in the
sun. The purpose of sunning is
to meet boys, of course; once
this is accomplished, the coop-
ing-up begins.
It goes without saying that
"vacation" is the important
word. The fact that it is spring
has little to do with it, in
many cases. Whatever the wea-
ther, it is a glorious time to
be remembered all spring quar-
ter.
Begin today. Don't listen any
longer to your friends who in-
sist on going t the dangerous,
wild places such as Lauderdale,
Daytona, or Nassau. This tak-
es a lot of tact, as you would
expect. So you won't be call-
ed "snob" or "moody", may-
be you had better stuff cotton
in your ears.
There are some disadvanta-
ges to the matter, however. The
chief one is returning to school,
where one must sign in and out,
keep decent hours, and live a
decent way of life, in general.
But don't despairl Don't ask
the administration to cancel the
holidays I There are certain de-
finite steps that can be taken to
avoid all of this. The keyword
is CONDITIONING.
ii you are normal, though, you
will end up in one of the fun-
and-games places, and will see
all your friends, incuding me.
The rules to follow in such
case are these:
1. Sign in and out of your
motel. This way you will not get
out of the habit, if you were
ever in it. Please remember
as a courtesy, to take your own
pink or white slips, which you
will find in the D. O. or al-
most anyone's room.
If you are living in a car or
on a blanket, this practice may
seem silly, but it pays off on
March 24. Freshmen; don't for-
get to get someone to approve
your slip. Policemen are very
helpful in this regard.
2. Buy your books for next
quarter before you leave (the
list is posted by the bookstore)
and take them with you. You
can't imagine how effective a
studious looking girl is when it
comt'S to discouraging boys.
Or maybe you can.
Anyway, a little preparation
for next quarter might Be in or-
der, and it will keep you out
of all kinds of trouble, that you
wouldn't want to get into, would
you?
Please try hard to remember
thast-t ~ules; clip this out of the
paper and take it with you, if
necessary.
You see, for a very good rea-
son I won't be there to remind
you this year.

Election Of Editors
Editor's Note: The following
article is by Ed Jacobson* It
appeared in the February 19
Technique.
Mr. Jacobson erroneously
thought that the Profile was a
"fledgling" publication, print-
ed along with the Agnes Scott
News.
Nonetheless, the content of
his article is worth our read-
ing.
A few most audacious women
a few years ago at Agnes Scott
College set out to make their
campus more complete.
One particular bold deed that
I have in mind was done few
enough years ago that I can
count them on one hand and yet
have digits to spare.
The Agnes Scott Profile , a
fledgling college newspaper,
was born of the daring of some
interested humanitarians.
A campus cannot be anything
but parochial unless there is
a strong, efficient news and cul-
ture medium present.
I fear, however, that the Scott
Profile is tied to a stake. More
specifically it's not a stake, but
rather, it's a poll.
That is, both the editor and
the managing editor of the Pro-
file are elected through general
balloting by the student body.
Freedom of the press does
not entail merely a non-inter-
vention policy of the governing
body or, as in the case of many
institutions of higher learning,
of the president or deans.
Freedom, to a newspaper, is
not only the license to operate

as the editors see fit, but it
requires more.
The very organization of an
efficient, well-disposed edi-

good newspaper, must be the
bottom point at which indepen-
dence is felt.
The only effective way to edit
newspaper of any quality, pre-
cludes any necessity to play
up to the general public.
The editorial policies and the
outlook of the staff must not
be cloudtd by the thought of
having to face the potentially
lethal whim of the people.
All that is presented in a good
newspaper must be entirely
straightforward.
The Profile editors and staff
do a remarkable job.
Although a prospective editor
and managing editor must lower
themselves to campaigning for
their positions, they do not
wince at the responsibilities of
reporting the news, of taking a
firm editorial stand.
Interesting things like jour-
nalistic freedom often die as a
result of such restrictions.

The Young GOP said that al-
though he could not speak for
the whole organization, he was
sure that most of the members
were against U. S. aid being
sent to governments "controll-

The aid cutback which pas-
sed the House was the first
big legislative test of the
89th Congress and spelled a
tactical defeat for the John-
son administration.
The measure stipulates that
none of the money from a $1.6
billion amended appropriations
bill can be used for shipping
surplus commodities to Egypt.
Anderson, in commenting on
the foreign aid program, said
that shipping food and clothing
to needy people in Egypt is bas-
ically good, but that Nasser us-

Republicans do not want U.S. aid
sent to governments "controll-
ed by totalitarian leaders."
This is a logical contention,
but it has led them to disagree
with the Georgia Congressmen
who opposed a direct restric-
tion upon the President in de-
termining if such aid should be
granted.
The Young Republicans have
avoided or overlooked the real
issue, that is, should the Chief
Executive's discretionary pow-
er in foreign policy be so re-
stricted bv Congress.

The U.S. Constitution desig-
nates the President as Com-
mander in Chief, and through
his function as head of state he
necessarily becomes "the Na-
tion's organ for foreign af-
fairs."
Unfortunately, in this realm,
the legislative process is a
slow and cumbersome piece of
machinery, especially when
Congress is not in session.
The executive is always in
session, able to move quickly,
and meet emergencies that
Congress cannot always pro-
vide for with prior legisla-
tion.
It is the President who com-
municates officially with other
nations and who protects
American interests and rights
abroad through his control of
the armed forces.
While the legislative process
is essential in a democracy, it
is the President who must deal
with an international crisis at a
moments notice.
He must be free to use his
own discretion and good judg-
ment when making emergency
decisions. He must not be re-
strained by partisan political
actions which could cause in-
ternational embarrassment.
This is true even when an
international emergency does
not exist. What may seem in the
U.S. only a restriction on send-
ing foodstuffs to a "totalitar-
ian government" could become,
at some future date, a move by
which Congress had hampered
the President's influence at the
international bargaining table.
It is the President who deals
directly with foreign nations,
and in exercising this authority
he should not be impeded by
unnecessary, and possibly dam-
aging, legislative action.
It should be noted that if the
President acts in conflict with
the chosen majority opinion on
foreign policy, the 1 safest way to
change direction is through the
election process, not by legis-
lative action which would be-
come an embarrassing and dan-
gerous restriction related to the
peace and well-being of the Na-
tion.

Burton Clarifies
Cabinet Position
On Racial Issues
Dear Editor:
In response to the Young Con-
servatives' protest against cer-
tain Christian Association ac-
tivities in the area of human re-
lations, I would like to clarify
the position CA cabinet has
taken on this vital issue. Our
activities reflect this position.
During October the cabinet
unanimously passed a resolu-
tion based on our conviction
that as students who believe in
the Christian faith we must be
involved in the application of
this faith to the problems of
our society.
To express this belief in the
area of race relations we stat-
ed that we sponsor the fol-
lowing opportunities: a tutorial
society; a proposed group to
work with the Atlanta Council
of Human Relation in aiding
people to learn to live harmon-
iously in newly - integrated
neighborhoods; Intercollegiate
Council, and interracial confer-
ences.
We have no official connec-
tion with a political party
nor do we support by means of
finances or personnel any spe-
cific civil rights organization.
However, the November 3 is-
sue of the Profile we stated
that "due to our realization that
there are many varied means of
expression in this area, we sup-
port in any activity those stu-
dents who are honestly seeking
more understanding relation-
ships between persons of dif-
ferent races."
The Young Conservatives have
questioned our intention in the
distribution of information con-
cerning the Student Non- Violent
Coordinating Committee
(SNCC), the Georgia Students
for Human Rights, and the At-
lanta Council on Human Rela-
tions. This information, listed
with descriptions of projects
under the direct supervision of
CA, was posted on each hall.
The purpose of the list was
to make known to interested stu-
dents "opportunities in the At-
lanta area for communication,
service projects, or prganiza'
tional participation in the field
of race relations." Because of
numerous inquiries addressed
to the CA Intercollegiate cha-
irman, the sheet of information
was prepared in order to make
more readily available the
names of persons to contact for
specific human relations act-
ivities.
The organization sponsoring
each activity (CA or an out-
side organization) was stated
so that an individual student
could choose that group which
best expressed her concern.
We feel the posting of this
list is in keeping with our de-
cision last October to encour-
age individuals, not specif ic or-
ganizations, in working for bet-
ter understanding between
members of different races.

Kiker Protests
Scheduling Of
Thursday Exam
A month ago in house meeting
the student body voted on the
proposed changes in the exam
schedule; i. e., whether to move
Thursday's exam to the follow-
ing Wednesday afternoon,
thereby providing a Reading
Day.
The vote was to keep the exam
schedule as it then stood, BUT
with the understanding that the
class period affecting the fe-
west individuals would have the
first exam period on Thursday
afternoon, March 11. This
would have provided the lar-
gest group of students with a
Reading Day.
When the exam schedule was
posted it was quite evident that
this was not in fact the easel
The Monday-Wednesday-Fri-
day 9:30 class period affects
perhaps more people than any
other period does, not the few-
est as we were led to believe.
And if it is true that the exam
schedules were already par-
tially finished BEFORE we
even voted on the matter, does
this not leave something to be
desired?
I feel that students should
have the right to air their op-
inions and views both to and
through Representative Coun-
cil, but NOT for the purpose
of being simply disregarded
by the administration or others.
If there are VALID reasons
'*why not," then the student body
SHOULD BE INFORMED!
This suggestion not only af-
fects this issue, but others al-
so, and we as students have a
right to know the "whys" and
"wherefores" if we are sup-
posed to live under them.

Advice To Girls
On Fraternities
Dear Editor:
I know that for many girls,
college is the first experience
they have with large-scale dat-
ing and fraternities. During or-
ientation, girls are told about
the mysteries of rush. But there
are a few things nobody tells
them, probably because they
should be able to figure them out
themselves.
Some apparently do not rea-
lize that by their careless act-
ions, they get their names (and
sometimes the name of Scott)
on the "fraternity blacklist"
which does exist, and which is
hard to squelch. So let's run-
over a few of these breaches of
the code.
First, when a girl accepts a
blind date at a frat house (or
anywhere, in fact) and the boy
has taken the time to call her,
it is her date, not the date of
the girl who arranged it. There-
fore, if she finds it necessary
to break the date, the girl her-
self (and Not the girl who ar-
ranged it) is expected to call
the boy and break it.
Now this is only sensible
when you think about it: further-
more, if the boy hears that
the date is off from someone
other than his date, you can be
sure she'll be labeled a "flake-
out" and that neither he nor his
friends and fraternity brothers
will date her. And sometimes
her name will be passed on to
other fraternities. So she can
well afford five minutes to take
care of her own obligations.
Secondly, when a girl signs
up to rush at a party and then
decides not to go, she should
tell the rush chairman who sign-
ed her up. Otherwise, the chair-
man and some fraternity boy
may well spend two hours that
night waiting for her in Main,
and miss most of the party.
Thirdly, if a girl at a rush
party is unhappy, all she his
to do is ask the people, .who
brought her to arrange to have
her taken back then.
There is no stigma attached to
this request: those who brought .
her are just as responsible
for her welfare and fun as they
are for that of the boy rush-
ees.
What frequently happens is
that a girl will simply disap-
pear from a house, telling no
one she is leaving; then when
the party is over, the fraternity
brother responsible for bring-
ing her back to Scott cannot
find her I This is terribly frus -
trating, and may get the boy or
the whole fraternity house in
trouble with the Tech and/or
Scott authorities and all be-
cause some girl was thought-
less.
Finally, if you desert a party
at one house and skip out to
another house, you will usually
get yourself blacklisted at both
fraternities; in other words, it
is never a good idea. And rem-
ember that if you must leave
the party for any reason, please
tell someone you're going.
I hope this has been of some
help.
Sincerely,
Carol Ann Denton

Editor's Note: This letter is
a reprint from the National Ob-
server.
The best liberal-arts col-
leges. . . can uphold the time-
less idea of a liberal educa-
tion, which measures all sche-
mes of learning by the contri-
bution they make to the enlarge-
ment of our freedom and human-
ity.
The characteristic vice ol
scholarship is pedantry, and
there needs to be some place-
some proud sanctuary for the
protection of broad ideals
which punctures the petensions
of the pedant by asking, "What
is the profit in this?"
I am thinking of much of the
scholarship in humanistic sub-
jects like the study of history,
which happens to be my own dis-
cipline:
The scholarship which redu-
ces a splendid forest of human
endeavor to a heap of sawdust;
Which salvages all of the flot-
sam and jetsam of knowledge
which a wiser age would have
left onshore; which holds up to
equal admiration the Greek and
the barbarian; and which has
lost all sense of standards in
a debauch of openmindedness.
This scholarship has no hon-
orable place in a liberal-arts
college.
Some of the newer social sci-
ences are worse offenders than
the old.
They often seem in a famous
phrase to be falling into sen-
ility before they have advanced
into middle age.
To all purveyors of such who
reach us from tfae depressed
ar^as of the universities, we
propose to say. "You have noth-
ing to lose but your chains."
And of course we hope, th-
rough the graduates whom we
send to the universities, to re-
form these professions before
they are overtaken by total ir-
relevance.

Students Seek Government Positions
Judicial Chairman
Judy Ahrano
Student Body
President
Susan Ledford
Debbie Rosen
The Judicial Chairman is at once in a representative
position and a guiding position. As a representative she
must be sensitive to the problems and needs of the in-
dividual students and the groups of students with whom
she deals. She must maintain a sensitivity to the frus-
trations and the constructive thinking of the individual
members of the council and the council as a whole.
The council needs to be able to depend on the Chair-
man to direct its constructive thinking into active
channels. The Chairman is vitally important in guiding
the attitudes of the members of the council toward a
positive acceptance of responsivility.
The responsibility of the Chairman is to guide the di-
rection of the thinking of the council without trying to
determine the direction.
Judicial Council can be one of the most effective as-
pects of the college in uncovering the needs and prob-
lems of individual students and of students as a group.
One of the most valuable characteristics of Judicial
Council is its flexibility in dealing with the problems
which it confronts.
This flexibility necessitates responsible representa-
tion by the members of the council. The representation
is responsible if it is willing to act before it is forced
into action. It is my hope that the council will be a more
vital concern of the representatives on the council. The
indifference of the members of the council themselves is
responsible for much of the indifference of the majority
of the students. (continued on page 8)
The position of Judicial Chairman is a uniquely im-
portant one on our campus, as it is her function to or-
ganize and give direction to the branch of Student Gov-
ernment which works most closely with the student body
as individuals, rather than as a mass. The Judicial
Chairman assumes the responsibility of making her own
numerous personal contacts with the student body worth-
while. She also functions in an important legislative
capacity in her position on Rep. Council and subsequent
service on various committees such as Reorganization
and Rules.
I want this office first because I feel that my exper-
ience on Rep. Council, Judicial Board, and the Policy
Committee makes me capable of accepting its respon-
sibilities. Secondly, this same experience has aroused
my interest in and concern for Judicial work which I
want very much to be able to actively and directly ex-
press.
My aims for this office are of a general and, I feel,
important nature. Unlike the members of Rep. Council,
Judicial members do not represent a particular group.
They are elected for themselves and are expected to ap-
proach each case in this way. I should like very much to
encourage this vital individuality in the board meetings,
in both discussion and voting.
I would also like to promote a real reach to every
student, to put an end to the misinformed "we"
"they" feeling. This can be done most effectively bv
(continued on page 8)
As a candidate for student body president, I submit my
vision for Agnes Scott College as a progressive Southern
institution.
My central concern is with Representative Council. Its
possibilities, as a legislative and coordinating body, as a
positive , action-taking force, have just begun to be rea-
lized.
It is my hope that the Handbook can be made intelligi-
ble and rational so as not to occupy the full attention and
efforts of students.
I am anxious for Agnes Scott to resolve its inner ten-
sions and so to move out in a wider circle. Rep Council
should engage in extensive intercollegiate activities and
host college conventions and exchange programs
throughout the year. With the new NSA coordinator, this
possibility has become a probability.
A cohesion of all the organizations on campus, includ-
ing the Boards, the Profile, Arts Council, political and
language groups, can work effectively for this enlarge-
ment of the Agnes Scott horizon.
We are a college with the student ability to move for-
ward and make an impress on our community, to set the
pace for the world around us instead of watching idly
while the world and the times move around us.
(continued on page 8)
National Student Association Coordinator
Claire Allen
The office of NSA coordinator
could be a vital part of the Ag-
nes Scott campus if the duties
and privileges of membership
in the National Student Associ-
ation were fully developed.
The organization of NSA is con-
cerned with the welfare of the
student in relation to the facul-
ty, administration, the commun-
ity, and the world at large.
In my opinion, the coordinator's function is to stimulate interest
among the student body in the activities of student government, in
the work of NSA, and in national and international affairs which
affect the student. It is also the coordinator's responsibility to
keep the campus informed about the student activities and oppor-
tunities which are sponsored by NSA and to see that Agnes Scott
fulfills its role as a member schooL
Because NSA has become very active in the field of politics and
has attempted to speak as the representative of the students who
are members, I am seeking election to the office of NSA coordi-
nator,, I feel that the coordinator should have an interest in current
political issues and that she should have some kno. /ledge of them 0
Also, she should be willing to represent the point of view of the
majority of the student body.
(continued on page 8)
Linda Lou Colvard
An organization on a national
level for the expressionof stu-
dent opinion is, I feel, vital to
the principle of democracy.
The United States National Stu-
dent Association is a self-gov-
erning body independent of go-
vernmental influence but dedi-
cated to the "interests and in-
tegrity of the government and
constitution of the United States
of America.'
It is concerned with the stimulation of student
awareness and exchange of student opinion on matters of student
government and legitimate national and international political and
social activities.
USNSA is formally organized with a constitution, by-laws, and
congress rules. The legislative body of USNSA is the National
Student Congress. This is the most effective organ for the ex-
change of student opinion; it is the stage for open debate and the
voting body which establishes NSA policy. The National Student
Congress is advised by a Congress Steering Committee. The
National Supervisory Board maintains the activities of the body
by the execution of established policies and the enacting of
emergency policies when such decisions are required.

More Open Elections
The 1965 Agnes Scott student body should certainly be a well-
informed voting group. Increased efforts have been made this
year to provide for a more open expression of interest by students
seeking office.
Nominating Committee has again considered student petitions in
making its nominations. This procedure, which was initiated last
year, has proved to be most helpful both to Nominating Committee
and to petitioning students.
This year Mortar Board has encouraged a further use of peti-
tions for appointed offices. In addition, a free day has been includ-
ed in the election schedule for those students who would like to ac-
cept an appointed office rather than an elected one.
Both of these innovations will be of great help to newly elected
board and publications officers in their effort to choose the best
possible members for their board or staff. Appointed positions
may be petitioned for to the presidents of C.A., A.A., and Socia
Council as well as to the editors of the Profile and the Silhouette .
The "Meet the Candidates" party will be held in the Hub again
this year. The party, also held for the first time last year, gives
students an opportunity to ask questions to nominees about their
platforms and plans. It also provides nominees with a chance to
campaign using the real issues of the race.
The Profile has increased coverage and information in this Elec-
tion Issue, a tradition (we hope) which was also started last year.
We hope to arouse student interest by including more offices and
pictures of nominees, as well as the entire list of nominees for of-
fices in which all candidates did not submit a statement.
These statements are the nearest thing an Agnes Scott candidate
has to a campaign speech. The nominees for 1965-66 offices have
submitted remarkably interesting statements.
Most nominees have dealt with the most important issues and
have stated their views very clearly. These statements should be
read carefully.
An effort was begun by last year's student leaders to provide for
a better informed and more interested Agnes Scott voting body.
This year has brought increased efforts in this direction,,
Agnes Scott elections are becoming more open - more honest.
Students should know the issues in each race, for they are given
ample opportunity to learn them. This year Student Government of-
fices should be filled by the most capable girls nominated.
THE PROFILE
We hope that students will agree that the Agnes Scott Profile has
made some progress this year toward a goal which you, the stu-
dents, have helped to set. Both of the candidates for editor of
this publication are certainly capable of continuing this progress.
They are both much more gifted and better informed than we
were at this time last year. Both have had plenty of experience in
newspaper work professionally as well as at Agnes Scott.
The four sophomores who have indicated their interest in the
office of associate editor are also faithful staff members and ex-
perienced in newspaper work.
The "trial" issues of the Profile , edited by these six candi-
dates, can be seen on the Vital Statistics bulletin board in the mail
room. The appearance and content of these papers, as well as the
statements which appear in this issue, indicate the relative ability
of the candidates.
NSA Coordinator
The office of N.S.A. Coordinator deserves special attention.
This spring for the first time this office is elected - not appointed.
The office is open only to juniors so that the immediate past
coordinator can be present the year following her term - to advise
the coordinator as well as to boost campus interest in N. S. A.
The N. S. A, Coordinator will represent N. S. A. at Agnes
Scott - and Agnes Scott at N. S. A. This person will fee. Agnes
Scott to many students all over the nation.

Betsy Anderson
There are many facets of an editor's posi-
tion, but among the most important are provid-
ing responsible and complete news coverage,
establishing a constructive editorial policy,
and designing a newspaper that is attractive
and interesting.
The Profile has made great progress in these
three areas in the past year; this progress
must continue, and indeed must be intensified,
if Agnes Scott is to have a campus newspaper
which is of the calibre of work done in other
areas of the campus.
News coverage should be extended to include,
in addition to most of the news articles now
printed, reports by staff writers of the meet-
ings of Representative Council, other student
government boards, and other student groups.
We should publish stories about how your
money is being spent, including not only the de-
tails of the budget of the Student Government
Association, but also of the college's annual
budget.
The Profile should explore on this campus
the topics which interest the national press:
college morals, political feeling, religious
movements, interest in ^ e arts fashion
trends.
We need to tap the area of newsfeatures on
such topics as the reflections of students who
have transferred from Agnes Scott to other
schools.
Our coverage of newsworthy events at other
colleges and universities should be organized
to include student body and student press re-
action to events which are related to our inte-
rests, and should include everything from
mention of Jolly Green Giant Day at Vassar to
the story of the controversy at Yale over grant-
ing tenure to philosophy teacher Richard J.
Bernstein. When situations warrant the atten-
tion, The Profile should investigate the reac-
tion of informed Agnes Scott students and fac-
ulty to such events as Clark Kerr's threatened
resignation as president of the University of
California.
The editorial policy of The Profile must be
based on the conscious and continuous recogni-
tion that those who participate in organizations
on the Agnes Scott campus are sincerely inte-
rested in and committed to the purposes of these
groups, and that they have nothing tangible to
gain from their involvement. Therefore, when
The Profile disagrees with the program of any
board or organization, the position of the news-
paper must be tempered with a great deal of
respect for the individuals who formulated the
policy.
Any college newspaper should seek to lead
student opinion in areas which affect its read-
ers as members both of a particular education-
al community and of a large segment of the na-
tion's population. It should encourage indivi-
dual creativity, exploration and discovery. It
should promote an environment which is con-
ducive to personal development and friendly to
personal differences, though at the same time
relatively harmonious for all.
A newspaper rightfully deserves influence in
shaping opinion only when it first wins the re-
spect of its readers by responsibility fulfilling
its obligation to inform them. Therefore, there
must be less emphasis on expressing the opin-
ions of the staff and editors and more stress on
actual news content than there has been in the
past in the Agnes Scott News and The Profile.
Finally, there is the third major aspect of the
editor's job, that of "packaging" the news in
as attractive a bundle as possible, in order to
lure readers into examining every inch of ma-
terial the editors consider worthy of printing.
The Profile faces several technical difficulties
in improving its appearance, but attention
should be directed to these often-neglected
problems, for it is largely through graphics
that the personality and tone of a newspaper
emerge.
I am running for the position of editor of
The Profile because the job facing next year's
editor is, to me, among the most exciting and
challenging on campus.
Felicia Guest
I want to edit next year's Profile because I
think I can make the newspaper the articulate
campus voice it is capable of being.
A good campus newspaper performs two
functions: It provides the campus community
with a thorough, timely, objective, and reliable
account of campus news and with pertinent news
of other schools.
Secondly, the good campus newspaper serves
as an instrument of expression that is readily
available to any campus group or individual who
has a newsworthy comment for the campus to
hear.
The newspaper's dual function leaves the edi-
tor with a dual responsibility. In order to ful-
fill the first function of her paper, she must
coordinate a staff of reporters, encouraging
good journalistic style, deciding what is news-
worthy, and making the staff an efficient and
cooperative body.
The editor must have a firm and judicious
editorial policy. She must use discretion so
that the editorial page will be thought-provok-
ing, and neither dull nor complaining without
purpose.
In order to fulfill the second responsibility
for her newspaper, the editor must achieve
an effective liaison between her newspaper
and all of the important campus groups,
boards, committees, and associations.
This liaison is the newspaper's life-giving
element: The paper is dead unless it can of-
fer its readers information on trends, com-
mittee activity, and formative planning which
the readers would otherwise probably never
hear about.
The editor must be in constant contact with
the campus leaders and workers, making the
newspaper available to them for airing ideas
and for arousing readers' interest in the activ-
ities of the campus committees.
In this campus-wide interest lies progress.
I feel that I can edit the Profile and make
it a newspaper which is a readable, vital, and
campus-wide voice.
I have worked on the Profile staff for two
years. I have worked on a professional news-
paper, where I learned the mechanics of off-
set publishing and the responsibility involved
in making editorial decisions.
I want the Profile to be a better disciplined
reporter of news. I want its editorials to be
valid statements of the campus climate. In
short, I want the present good features of the
Profile to be better. I think I can provide the
leadership and experience to make it better.
I want the Profile to become something it has
not been in the past: A publication which in-
terprets news facts and which prints the
opinions, plans, and ideas of anyone who wishes
to have a newsworthy statement published.
I want more than just the opinions of the
editorial staff to be published.
It is the editor's responsibility to get these
trends and interpretations of campus activi-
ties before the readers.
As editor of the Profile I would keep in
steady communication with campus leaders
and workers, and would work closely with them
to overcome the frustrating apathy which is
symptomatic on our campus.
I think that a revitalized Profile can help a
great deal to make the campus a responsive,
informed body. And I think I can revitalize it.

Social Council President
Betty Rankin
This year the function of
Social Council has been great-
ly expanded, and it is my hope
that next year this expansion
will be able to continue, My
two years on Social Council
have shown me how many fie-
lds are open to this organiza-
tion - contrary to the view that
I was confronted with my fresh
man year that Social Council
was an unnecessary and use-
less board.
I believe that social life at
Agnes Scott is often over-sha-
dowed by the tremendous em-
phasis put on scholarship, and,
therefore, I think Social Coun-
cil's role should be to offer
weekly opportunities for the
pursuit of "socializing" in
contrast to the ever present
pursuit of knowledge.
Christian Association
President
I am very interested in hav-
ing two or more dance week
ends at Agnes Scott next year
and bringing entertainment to
the campus in the form of con-
certs with the help of the var-
ious classes and the possibili-
ty of a raise in Social Coun-
cil's annual allotment.
I should like to continue the
bridge tournaments, mixers,
Hub parties, fire-side chats,
and movies that were included
in Social Council's agenda
this year, but I would try to
increase their number and add
to these activities some new
ones.
I feel that my previous ex-
perience on Social Council,
plus the enthusiasm I have for
the work of this organization,
well qualifies me for its Pres-
ident in 1965-66. I would wel-
come the opportunity to serve
in this capacity.
President
Joan Kiker
I feel that the Agnes Scott
Athletic Association should
contribute to an individual's
development in the following
areas: physically to satisfy
student need of physical acti-
vity through a program of
sports and recreation; emo-
tionally to release tension by
providing athletic activities;
socially to offer a feeling of
group belongingness and coop-
eration at recreational activi-
ties, at the intercollegiate le-
vel, and through the sponsoring
of play days; and mentally to
provide training in leadership
responsibility.
A successful AA program de-
pends primarily upon student
interest and participation. As
a candidate for president, I
would encourage AA to provide
every student an opportunity to
partipate individually or as a
member of a group. In this
way a more unified school spi-
rit may be created.
AA should consider the fol-
lowing proposals:
1 0 There should be a work-
ing spirit committee which
functions at all AA sponsored
events and promotes student
interest in various ways at o-
ther school sponsored events.
2. The point system should
be completely re-evaluated
and/or revamped.
3. Intercollegiate activities
should be broadened not only
with surrounding schools but
also with other comparable
women's colleges in the
North.
4. Tennis, golf and swim-
ming teams and perhaps o-
thers should be established.
5. There should be an em-
phasis on individual sports, and
and more clinics should be
provided for tennis badminton,
archery, etc.
6. More recreational activi-
ties such as ice-skating par-
ties, bowling parties, splash
parties, and ping-pong tourn-
aments should be available.
7. AA should make available
professional events such as
the Atlanta Braves games and
the Masters Tournament.
8. AA should work with Social
Council to help revitalize the
Hub so that it can really be-
come the student activity cen-
ter.
9. The cabin rules should be
examined and lights to the ca-
bin should be provided.
10. Student body members
should be more in contact with
all AA activities by way of
questionnaires, etc.
11. Policies should be estab-
lished with respect to forfeits,
ties, rained-out games, etc.
12. There should be an
increased effort on the part of
AA to envolve day students.
13. Most important, however,
is a working AA board consis-
ting mostly of spirited sopho-
mores with two freshman re-
presentatives, and the work of
the board should be more ev-
enly distributed. The boear
(continued in next column)
of Athletic
should be its own publicity and
should be the major factor in
unifying school spirit especi-
ally in AA activities and in o-
ther school-sponsored events
as well.
Louise Smith
The office of the presidency
of Athletic Association should
be open to all those who seek
and will act for a health within
and a unity of that abstract
principle called "spirit" or
attitude of the student body.
It is for this reason that I seek
the office.
The president of Athletic As-
sociation must act as coordin-
ator between her board, which
directs organized activities
for the students, and the needs
of the student body. She must
not only be able to feel these
needs , but she must also be
willing to provide solutions to
them.
The present board has done
a fine job, and the only change
I should like to see made is to
a more lively interest on the
part of those who do not actu-
ally participat e in the sports.
This may be accomplished in
part through the much-talked-
about "personal contact " I
should hope to make this a
concrete policy and take the
term out of quotation marks.
Patty Williams
"Help Stamp Out Apathy"
seems to have been the slogan
at Agnes Scott for the past
year. Many solutions to this
problem have been offered to
the campus and while some
have partially succeeded, the
majority have failed. I do not
pretend to have the solution to
end the problem of apathy but
I believe that Athletic Associ-
ation can do much to take our
minds off ourselves and direct
our energies outward to re-
lieve some of this apathy.
Having served a s Point Re-
corder on the AA Board this
past year, I have seen AA try
and try again to get the cam-
pus community interested and
participating in sports activi-
ties.
As a nominee for the office
of President of Athletic Asso-
ciation, Ihave tried to think
over the policies and projects
of AA that were the most suc-
cesful and that did the most
good for the campus. I would
like to see Hub sings and 1 bon-
fires continues for these seem
to create class spirit, school
spirit and unity.
I would like to see the play-
(continued in next column)
Association
nights continued for these give
those who don't participate in
organized s ports because they
either don't have the time to
devote to an organized sport
or they don't feel that they
have the ability required for an
organized sport a chance to
get exercise and have fun.
I would also like to see Ag-
nes Scott compete more as a
school with other schools and
perhaps fcmory sororities.
This type of competition tends
to build up team and school
competitive spirit.
Something I would like to see
changed is the point system.
I think it should be changed to
a one year system as has been
proposed to AA already , for
I feel this will create more
interest in keeping points and
winning keys and disks.
My qualifications for this
office consist mainly of an
enthusiasm for sports and AA
ideals and aims. I have ser-
ved on AA Board for the past
year and I have also served
as Secretary-Treasurer of
Dolphin Club this year. I was
class cheerleader in my soph-
omore year and have been a
member of my class swimming
team for rhree years. In most
other sports 1 just enjoy being
a spectator.
I would like to be given the
chance to work with the AA
Board to help create more in-
terest and activity in sports on
this campus.
Mary Brown
This past year has seen a
significant change in the na-
ture of Agnes Scott Christian
Association. Two of the out-
ward manifestations of this
have been the unanimous deci-
sion of CA Cabinet to take a
strong position in the area of
race relations, and in the pro-
jected chapel series on basic
Christian beliefs. These new
directions come as a result of
the conviction that CA Cabinet
should function as the dynamic
leadership of the association-
that it should raise issues, not
react to them, that it should
lead, not follow. As candidate
for President of the Cabinet
and Association I am in full
accord with this trend.
Any attempt to lead, to chal-
lenge, is empty unless it is
based upon a belief. The stat-
ed purpose of CA begins:
"Believing that the Christian
faith is necessary for a full
and meaningful life ..." The
raison d'etre of CA is the con-
viction that a recognition of
the love of God can give mean-
ing and purpose to the academ-
J c scholarship, the questions,
the anxiety which is the nature

Virginia Quattlebaum
Christian Association can
and should be a vital force on
the Agnes Scott campus. The
President of CA has a great
opportunity and responsibility
in making this become a real-
ity. She must be capable of
taking the initiative in devel-
oping CA's immediate pro-
jects and its long-range aims.
She is also responsible to a
large degree for how effect-
ively the CA Cabinet commu-
nicates these plans to the ca-
mpus and for how well the Ca
binet members work together.
Her position on the Repre-
sentative Council of Student
Government and her concern
for students individually and
collectively are both impor-
tant in determining how effec-
tively CA Cabinet meets the
needs of our campus.
I have several specific sug-
gestions for ways in which
areas of CA could be changed
or strengthened.
First, I feel that the Vice-
President should be given
greater responsibility. This
would alleviate some of the
pressure which now rests sole
ly on the President, would

Terri Singer
Social Council performs a
vital function of the Agnes
Scott campus, and its presi-
dent plays a large role in org-
anizing and directing its acti-
vities. I am interested in ser-
ving as Social Council Presi-
dent because I feel it is a po-
sition where a great deal can
be done for the students in
many phases of campus life.
These phases range from
tips on table setting, home de-
coration, and changing fashions
in chothes to raising general
campus morale with movies,
mixers, Hub parties, and
dances. These activities and
others I feel are very neces-
sary on a campus having such
an academic emphasis.
The social aspect of campus
life should not and cannot be
ignored. I have thoroughly en-
joyed serving on the Social
Council Board, and I have re-
alized through this experience
the importance of its place at
Scott.
Under the direction of Libby
Malone this year Social Coun-
cil has increased its number
of activities and contributions
to the students, If elected I
would like to continue these
new activities and add to them
in areas where the students
would benefit directly.
This might include such pro-
grams as more entertainment
on campus such as folk sing-
ers, more mixers, and new
Fireside Chat topics. Also
with the new change in the So-
cial Council Constitution which
allows a reporter to the Pro-
file to be appointed, I believe
that Social Council activities
may be increased and become
more effective.
My aim for the Social Coun-
cil Board would be that it plan
its activities so as to benefit
every student on campus.
There are many areas in whi-
ch Social Council can operate
to do this. I would try to lead
Social Council activities into
these specific facets of cam-
pus social life.

Sophomores Vie For Top
Treasurer
Marilyn
Abendroth
I petitioned for and am inte-
rested in the office ofTreasur-
er of Student Government for a
number of reasons.
I have always received satis-
faction from the challenge and
effort that a treasurer's job
demands. I enjoy this type of
work which not only deals with
math and the handling of money
but which calls for preciseness
and organization of a workable
budget.
Also, I feel I am more cap-
able of carrying out the duties
of this office than any other po-
sition not only because ot my
interests but also my past ex-
perience in jobs similar to this.
In addition to the handling of
all the financial matters of Stu-
dent Government Association an
important part of this office,
which seems to have been car-
ried out very well in my two
years at Scott and which I would
strive to continue to fulfill, is
the effective working together of
the treasurer and the various
treasurers and business man-
agers of campus organizations.
Another aspect of this job
which interests me is the part
I might play in the work of Rep.
Council. I feel that this coun-
cil is a vital part of Agnes Scott
and is one of the reasons for
Scott's effectiveness as a uni-
fied academic institution, in
which students, professors, and
administration all work togeth-
I feel that the main things that
I could bring to this job are a
willingness to work and an in-
terest in Agnes Scott.

As Treasurer of the Student
Body I would work diligently

the financial matter in accord-
ance with the decisions of the
Student Government Associa-
tion. Besides the accurate
maintainence of important rec-
ords, I see the primary func-
tion of the Treasurer as ser-
ving as chairman of the Budget
Committee.
This leads directly to the vit-
al question of how the most ben-
efit may be distributed to the
student body as a whole and
the answer to this question will
hopefully never be settled once
and for all.
It seems to me that this com-
mittee is one of the most cru-
cial on campus, because it de-
cides on the proposed distri-
bution of at least $17,500 ayear
This relatively small group
composed of the treasurers and
business managers of campus
organizations which receive
funds from the Student Treas-
ury is able to discuss the par-
ticular needs of our campus
and to consider how they shall
be met in the most beneficial
manner.
As long as ours is adynamic,
growing campus, and as long as
new organizations are created
and appeal to Budget Committee
for funds, we must continue to
evaluate and re-evaluate the
situation.
I feel capable of doing this
job effectively and would like
to have the opporrunity of ser-
ving the student body in this ca-
pacity.
Treasurer
Secretary
Linda Marks
I am running for Secretary and
Treasurer of Student Govern-
ment for 196 5 -66 because I am
sincerely interested in, proud
of, and ambitious for student
government at Agnes Scott. The
challenge of making our life
here relevant to the strategic
"now" and to the future can be
met successfully only with ma-
turity, sound judgment, inde-
pendent thinking, and a boldness
of purpose that will naturally
assert itself in those matters
which cannot be compromised.
We as students need to re-
evaluate our willingness to
make Agnes Scott what we want
it to be. Student leaders in-
variably set the tone for student
body unique. The conviction
that these ideas are meaning-
ful is the basis for my desire
for one of these Student Govern-
ment offices.
My experience in working
with C.A. Cabinet, glee club,
dance group, Arts Council,
Black Cat, and orientation has
helped me to see the impor-
tance of the offices I am seek-
ing within the framework of the
whole purpose of student gov-
ernment. I will bring interest,
dedication, a positive outlook,
and the understanding I have
gained through these activities
to bear on the situations I will
confront as a Student Govern-
ment officer.
Representative Council is the
most powerful body in the struc-
ture of our student government,
because of its executive and leg-
islative power. Even through
the machinery of making the
campus function there is much
room here for creativity. The
efficient carrying-on of these
matters of machinery is, how-
ever, extremely important in
order for the creative ideas of
Rep Council to have a smooth
situation in which to work them-
selves out.
The chief problem to be met
by the Secretary is, it seems
to me, one of connumication.
My work, if I am elected, will
be guided in the direction of
making the campus aware ot
Associate Editor of The Profile
Diane Dixon
I would like to run for the of-
fice of associate editor of the
Profile. I am willing to devote
my time and effort to the news-
paper for the benefit of our
school.
As for my general, and more
important, reasons, I think that
the Profile has achieved a level
of excellence among college
newspapers this year. It has
found a happy combination of
good journalistic practice and
popularity with its readers. I
want to continue this upward
surge.
I propose continued improve-
ment, with the possible addition
of more humorous articles but
with firm maintenance of the
emphasis on Agnes Scott not
apart from the world but a part
of the world.
Rosalind Todd
I am interested in running for
associate editor of the Profile,
because I enjoy working on the
newspaper staff. I feel that I
am qualified for this office since
I have worked on the Profile in
both my freshman and sopho-
more years at Agnes Scott, and
I am willing to work in the in-
terests of the paper and the
school.

Lucy Williams
I have been interested in
journalism for several years
and here at Agnes Scott have
enjoyed being a member of The

will make every effort to give

fort it deserves.
Ann Roberts
I am running for Associate
Editor of the Profile for rea-
sons both personal and general.
As for the first, I enjoy news-
paper work and feel I am quali-
fied for the position through my
study of and experience in

years. I find all phases of
journalism fascinating and ex-
citing.

what student government is do-
ing. Another important part
of this communication will lie
in letting Rep Council know what
student opinion actually is.
In connection with the job of
Treasurer, I believe that there
should be an extensive re-eval-
uation of Budget Committee,
with the purpose of ascertaining
whether the present scheme fo
the allotment of money is the
most beneficial to the campus.
Certain vital and dynamic or-
ganizations, such as Arts Coun-
cil, are not receiving money at
all, while others affecting far
fewer students are allowed an
ample amount.
Secretary
Lynne Wilkins
The prerogative of a strong
Student Government must be
earned by responsible student
leaders and a discerning student
body. The Secretary of Student
Government is in a vital posi-
tion on the campus because she
becomes a liaison between the
governing body and the campus
itself.
Her function on Representa-
tive Council is to consolidate
the ideas presented by the Stu-
dent leaders and to effectively
communicate them to the cam-
pus community - to communi-
cate them is such a way that
students not only become
aware, but become concerned.
She must obtain an under-
standing of the campus through
committees, through an ex-
change with the other boards,
and in communication with oth-
er schools. Therefore she re-
ceives a broad view of the cam-
pus as a whole and is in the po-
sition to co-ordinate activi-
ties and to aid the campus lead-
ers in directing the turn of
student affairs.
This office could be render-
ed more effectual with the use of
a Secretariat committee. Un-
der the new reorganization, the
office is open to a redefinition
to enable it to best serve the
new Student Government.
In this new Student Govern-
ment I see many opportunities
and directions for it to ex-
pand; in strength, politics, ser-
vice, and unification. This will
require a sensitive understand-
ing of the campus, obtained only
through participation in many
varied areas.
In these respects I feel I am
qualified to seek this office. I
have an interest and a concern
for the campus, and the exper-
ience of working with my class,
with A. A., and with a Repre-
sentative Council committee,
and I would work to the best of
my ability for the goals of the
student body. With the "per-
spective" provided by this year,
I foresee 65-66 as a "prospec-
tive" year.

Secretary of Judicial
A student government can
be strong and effective only
if the leaders are competent,
lively, and willing to work.
This year's leaders have been
particularly active and influ-
ential in many areas of cam-
pus life, and this trend toward
more participation and increas-
ed involvement must be contin-
ued.
There is much to be done on

it is not as effectual as it shou-

cept of it is secrecy, penalties,
and black robes. I feel that
visitors should not only be al-
lowed but rather be encouraged
to come. Being seen realist-
ically, Judicial Council can
have a more effective contact
with the campus.
Next year the Secretary of
Judicial will have a hall as well
as have the customary duties of
keeping all Judicial records,
recording penalties, and sending
out notices.
Having served a year on the
Council, I feel that I have a re-
alistic picture of the work ex-
pected and of the time it will
involve. Also, I have had the
experience of being a represen-
tative on a hall this year.
Although I feel it would be
more expedient to elect a re-
cording secretary from among
the Council members, lam sure
that I could take minutes of the
meetings.
I want to serve on the various
committees of which the Secre-
tary of Judicial is a part and
become more involved in cam-
pus life. I feel that I could do
the job well; and if lam elected,
I will certainly give my best ef-
forts to being a capable and en-
thusiastic campus leader.
Chairman of Lecture Committee
Beverly Allen
The Chairman of Lecture
Committee's fundamental res-
ponsibility is to represent the
student body both in the choice
and in the reception of lectur-
ers. In the first capacity, I
would advocate inviting many
different types of speakers in
order to appeal to many differ-
ent student interests.
Next year when the Fine Arts
Building is opened, an empha-
sis on the fine arts in the lec
ture series would be particular-
ly appropriate. Visiting dram-
atists and artists could hold
workshops in the new building,
as well as lecture in Gaines.
I would like to instigate a
spring evaluation of the year's
lecturers in order to have aba
sis for next year's selections.
Furthermore, by corresponding
with other colleges, we could
learn about especially effective
speakers on other campuses.
The informal association be-
tween students and lecturers is
even more important than the
formal lecture. I would like to
post lists and times for students
to sign in order to eat with vis-
itors. Having a specific time
and location would facilitate stu-
dent -visitor contact. I would
hope that menus and student
dress might be planned around
guests' eating in the dining hall.
More informal discussion gro-
ups would enable students to fol-
low up lectures with questions
and comments.
Preparation for lectures by
means of student or faculty-led
chapel talks, Hub discussions,
library displays, book lists,
and Profile articles should be
co-ordinated by the Chairman
of Lecture Committee.
The visitor, if unfamiliar
with Agnes Scott, should also
be prepared for his visit by
being sent pictorial brochures,
a college catalogue, and other
pertinent information. In this
manner, both he and we will
know what to expect.
I think that by all these care
ful arrangements, the Chair-
man of Lecture Committee
can do much to determine the
student body's reception of
visiting lecturers and their
impression of Agnes Scott.
May Day Folk
I am seeking the Chairman-
ship of Lecture Association
because I feel that in this ca-
pacity I can best serve Agnes
Scott. I believe that Lecture
Association has a very vital
function to fulfill on this cam-
pus and that it is the chair-
man's function to guide and
stimulate campus interest in
the forthcoming lectures.
I feel that the Chairman of
Lecture Association must be
eager to establish a firm con-
tact with the lecturers and
must endeavor in as many
ways as possible to effective-
ly connect the lecturer with
the student body and the ad-
ministration.
With the help of Lecture
Association Committee , it is
my desire to increase campus
interest and participation in
next year's lecture series and
to enable the various lectur-
ers to know Agnes Scott more
closely and with more person-
al interest.
I would like to have more
advanced preparations for the
lectures, additional and ef-
fectively concentrated publi-
city, better lecture attendance,
all interested students to talk
informally with our outstand-
ing lecturers during their stay
on campus.
Through increased communic
cations each of us at Agnes
Scott will truly benefit more
from the efforts of Lecture
Association and from out Lec-
our
ture series.
Linda Richter
Due to the reorganization of
Student Government, most of
the work of the new Secretary
of Judicial Council will be
concentrated on Judicial mat-
ters. She will be concerned
with minutes and reports from
these meetings, and of prime
importance is her responsibi-
lity to be an effective member
of the Council.
I have served as a sopho-
more representative to Judi-
cial Council and have felt that
it has been a rewarding exper-
ience. I have known what it
means to be part of a board
which makes decisions that
are relevant to our life on
campus and to try to interpret
these decisions and policies
to the students on my hall and
in my circle of acquaintance.
I realize the responsibility
that would be mine if I were
elected Secretary of Judicial
Council, and I would like to
serve in this position in the
body concerned with an inte-
gral part of Agnes Scott, the
Honor System.

Chairman of House Presidents Council
Betsy
Anderson
House presidents perform
the vital function on campus
of attempting to develop within
eack dormitory a spirit of to-
getherness and kinship between
members of a living unit.
They also work to maintain
pleasant living conditions, and,
in addition, they serve as per-
haps the most accessible chan-
nels of communication between
individual students and student
government.
The Chairman of House Pres
idents' Council needs to be a-
ble to meet creatively the day
to day household problems
that arise in a dormitory hous-
ing a hundred or so people.
She must be able to plan acti-
vities and lead a campus wide
program of activities which
will tie together individuals in-
to a single unit, as well as to
encourage individual halls to
plan their own get-togethers
and parties.
With the growth of the stu-
dent body, more importance
will be placed on the living
units as a centers of campus
life. Therefore, house presi-
dents next year and in the fol-
lowing years will be faced with
the task of providing - perhaps
through interdorm athletics or
social events - functions which
satisfy this demand.
B.J. Brown
House Council is a vital area
in the avenues of communica-
tion which have been eggected
at Scott. Although its total
spectrum is wide, its prime
purpose is to effectively co-
ordinate and correlate the in-
ter-dorm and intra-dorm en-
deavors involved in dorm life.
Specifically, the House Cou-
ncil Chairman, first as a
House President, has the uni-
que area of contact of her in-
dividuall dorm. She is respon-
sible for not only the objective
aspects of its overall technical
maintenance, but can also work
with the personal activities
and problems of the students
within the dorm.
Secondly, as Chairman of the
Council, she is responsible for
the pervasive equilibrium of
the dorm complex. She can
move reflectingly from the
representation of this area of
student life to work with the
administration, faculty, and
student government.
(continued in next column)
As a member of Representa-
tive Council, she can form a
liason between student con-
cerns and the means witn
which to activate them. Suc-
cintly, the Chairman, can work
within her dorm, among all of
the dorms, and finally, with
the other forms of student gov-
ernment.
The significance of this job
is challenging and demanding,
and I would like to work in the
dimensions of both its object-
ive and subjective scopes.
Particularly, I would like to
see more activities which
would "draw together M dorm
life in a meaningful situation.
Whether this means lies in
more planned activities such as
parties or interdorm competi-
tion remains to be explored-
As the impetus for reor-
ganization continues, House
Council will play an increa-
singly important part in student
government.
Before the dorms are given
additional power and become
more autonomous, House Coun-
cil must be able to accept
these new responsibilities with
the gravity which has come
from evaluating and ascerta-
ining its relationships to stu-
dents and to the administra-
tion.
For House Council, the com-
ing year will involve apprehen-
ding its responsibilities and
exploring the areas in which
it can effectively move.
This apprehension and all
of its implications will require
the interest and energy of each
member and the coordinating
leadership of a flexible Cha-
irman who is willing to meet
and accept the unlimited possi-
bilities and responsibilities
which this job offers.
Ginny Finney
I feel that Chairman of House
Presidents' Council is an im-
portant office, a channel of stu-
dent government that needs to be
strengthened in its effectiven-
ess. The council must of course
work largely through Represen-
tative Council, and the Presi-
dents" council is itself a re-
presentative body.
I would like to have the op-
portunity of being on Rep. Coun-
cil again next year, because I
feel that it has become a vital
legislative body.
House Presidents' Council
functions in many areas of
student life; one of the most
important of these functions is
its work in enforcing dorm
rules and helping keep morale
up by making the dorms more
pleasant to live in. The house
president has much to do with
determining the atmosphere of
her dorm.
If the proposed eventual decen-
tralization of student govern-
ment is to be under discussion
next year, the council chair-
man should be a member of
any committee which is formed
to study it, since the council
is largely decentralized in its
function now.
I feel that in order for this
(continued in next column)
to be a vital office the council
chairman must function first
as a representative of all the
boarding students. She must
be aware of student needs and
opinions, but must also show
initiative and leadership.
House Presidents* Council
can and should be one of the
main areas through which stu-
dent feeling is expressed.
Alice Lindsey
It is the duty of House ^re-
sidents' Council to co-ordinate
matters that concern living in
the dorms, such as hostess
duty and fire drills, to take
suggestions to Rep Council and
to bring ideas or questions
for discussion back to the in-
dividual dorms.
I am running for the office
of Chairman of House Presid-
ents' Council because this is
an area of student govern-
ment in which I like to work
and have had experience.
This year as House Council
member from Hardeman I re-
present the cottage on House
Presidents' Council, so I have
had a chance to see how the
Council functions, what type
problems arise, and what areas
could be improved.
Ideally there should be a chain
of representation and delega-
ted responsibilities from the
House Presidents' Council,
which is in touch with other
campus organizations through
Rep Council, to the indivi-
dual House Councils and throu-
gh its members to every
person on every hall, who take
the responsibility for quiet
hours and phone co-op.
In many cases the House
Councils need to be more ac-
tive than they are; instead of
degenerating into nothing but
organs for holding meetings to
make announcements, they
should be the channels for
complaints, suggestions, and
discussion when someone wants
to change the way hostess duty
is handled or the way quiet
hours are not being heeded.
Peggy Marion
It seems to me that the most
important function of any irl who
is Chairman of House Council
is the co-ordinating of the var-
ious activities that occur in
the different dormitories and
between the dormitories.
The office has its objective
aspects, such as co-operating
with and, to a certain extent,
sportsmanship, and assuming
(continued in next column)
assisting maintenance women
and men. A Chairman of House
Council would want to work
closely with these people and
with Mrs. Smith to insure the
maximum in the conditions of
the dormitories.
Equally important are the
more subjective aspects of the
job, such as a real interest in
the efforts of a House President
to acquaint the girls of differ-
ent floors of a dormitory with
each other, whether through a
party or some other medium.
An important function of this
office is the achieving of a
close working relationship with
and between the House Presi-
dents, and the willingness to as-
sist them. The Chairman of
House Council must be open for
suggestions from the entire
campus and be willing to work
toward the changes that seem
most desirable.
I would like the opportu-
nity of working toward these
objectives.
Debbie Potts
House Presidents Council
should be a dynamic force in
reshaping campus policy. The
House Presidents and the Cha-
irman of the Council are im-
portant offices and careful
thought must be given be-
fore they are filled.
As the student body enlarg-
es, a cohesive force is needed
that can observe the campus as
a whole. Judicial Council, with
members on each floor of each
dorm, provides one such organ-
ization; House Presidents
Council can provide another.
This group is in a position
to hear student opinion in each
dorm, take suggestions, and
then take action.
House Presidents Council,
working closely with Repre-
sentative Council, could be a
major force in sponsoring re-
form legislation. One such sug-
gested reform is smoking all
night in the study smokers;
another is the possibility of
signing in and out in the dorms
at all times.
These and other problems
should be studied by the House
Presidents, then turned over to
Representative Council for leg-
islation. This type of work is
already being done by the Coun-
cil, but it should be intensif-
ied.
House Presidents Council
should be ready to take thelead
in reorganization of the judicial
structure of the campus. Judi-
cial Council presently spends
most of its time listening to
cases of petty rules break-
age, while the Student Recor-
der writes literally hundreds of
campus slips.
These small, automatic cases
should be the job of indivi-
dual dorm councils, headed
by the dorm presidents and the
senior judicial representative
to each dorm. Each dorm coun-
cil would deal only with cas-
es from its own dorm, thus
cutting meetinc time to a mini-
mum. Judicial Council could
reduce the number of its mem-
bers, and regain its status as
(continued in next column)
an honor court.
For such a plan, or any
plan for decentralization, it
would be almost imperative
that the Chairman of House Pre-
sidents have had judicial ex-
perience. It would be up to her
to set up judicial procedure
in each dorm and insure its
smooth functioning.
A student must work in stu-
dent government to be interest-
ed in it and to appreciate
it.
It is better to have more par-
ticipants with a smaller part
than just a few leaders, with
what is perhaps an unfair re-
sponsibility. It is my object-
ive to broaden the scope of
House Presidents Council with
this in mind.
Louise Smith
Part of the job of the Chair-
man of House Presidents' Coun-
cil is to aid in the physical
upkeep of the dorm buildings
and to be available for personal
contacts with the students.
She must often tackle difficult
personal problems or conflicts
between students by acting as
mediator in disputes (which in-
evitably occur).
She should endeavor to unify
the residents of the various
dorms into a working body, con-
stantly sharing ideas, pulling
together for the welfare of the
entire campus, and supporting
the other organizations on cam-
pus.
The Chairman of House Pre-
sidents' Council must enjoy
working closely withpeoplc,
both students and administra-
tion. I do enjoy this type of
work and would try to bring my-
self and the rest of the stu-
dent body to a fuller awareness
of what is involved in the up
keep of these aspects of the
college and the meaning of such
responsibility as is involved.
SusanThomas
The Chairman of House-
Presidents' Council has two
major responsibilities. As a
house president she must make
every effort to mold a smooth
functioning, well-knit dormi-
tory.
On the other hand, this off-
icer has an obligation to the en-
tire campus community. She
is in an excellent position to
receive ideas and opinions from
every part of the campus and to
co-ordinate and mobilize these
through both Rep Council and
House Presidents' Council.
The office can be one of the
major lines of communication in
Student Government.
I am running for this office
because I want to see its po-

Editor Of the Silhouette
As a magazine of student ex-
pression, I believe that Aurora
can be the vital link between the
creative student and a creative
audience. And if it is to be, its
editorial policy must reflect
the experimental consciousness
of the student searching for his
own form and content.
Consequently I would like to
see Aurora come out two weeks
before Reading Day so that the
student body will have the time
and opportunity to respond to the
work.
I think that the business staff
should be increased to sell ads
so that Aurora would have more
money for space to enlarge its
contents.
I think that the position of
Literary Editor should be di-
vided into the positions of Fic-
tion Editor and Poetry Editor,
someone who had had the course
in modern poetty and can offer
critical guidance to the staff.
I would like to see the Art
sections more focused, per-
haps on a single student's work
in different media with great-
er emphasis placed on the cov-
er and good- layout.
Finally, as editor, I would
work closely with an expanded
staff to meet the needs of the
writers and the artists on cam-
pus, and most of all, to meet
the needs of the student body
with what is being about the
experience of growing up in our
age.
The Aurora is the vehicle of
student expression in the arts
and thus provides the incentive
for creative activity on cam-
pus. The Editor therefore has
a two-fold job: to encourage
this student creativity and to
publish the results in a vitally
interesting magazine. One can
virtually accomplish the first
requirement by fulfilling the
last.
A magazine of highly selec-
tive artistic and literary work
necessarily raises the standard
of work submitted to be publish-
ed. A publication of more pro-
fessional appearance and qual-
ity increases the creative per-
son's interest to have work pre-
sented in it.
As Copy Editor on the pres-
ent staff of the Aurora I have
been concerned with the techni-
cal and aesthetic problems in-
volved in the lay-out of the
pages, the choosing of type and
of course the proofreading.
The final decisions as to the
appearance of the magazine rest
with the Editor. This year you
will have noticed the radical
(continued in next column}
changes in the appearance and
outlook of the Aurora that have
been initiated by the Staff in or-
der to bring it up to the stand-
ard of similar publications at
colleges throughout the nation.
The smaller size and type of
this year's Aurora is that used
by the majority of literary and
arts magazines. We have also
expanded the scope of the
Aurora to include articles by
the faculty and visitors at Agnes
Scott.
If elected Editor of the Au-
rora , I will continue to seek
even higher quality to be pre-
sented in a more professional
magazine. Student creativity
should be encouraged and will be
if publication in the Aurora is
based on competition among
higher quality examples of ar-
tistic and literary entries.
The Aurora should and will
provide the impetus for in-
creased student creativity and
thereby represent the creative
temperament of Agnes Scott.
House Presidents
tentialities realized to the ful-
lest. The Chairman of House
Presidents' Council has the op-
portunity to make Student Gov-
ernment a vital movement for
the total community.
Though direct contact with
her dorm, Rep Council and
House Presidents' Council, this
officer can distribute respon-
sibilities among a larger num-
ber of interested students. This
would both increase campus in-
terest and relieve thos e offic-
es which have been overworked
in the past. I feel that this is
quite necessary for an efficient
student government.
Of course, this idea of more
campus communication and
participation is not original. In
the past few years many Posi-
tive steps have been made in
this direction.
The dormitory sign-out sys-
tem and the strengthening of
Rep Council have proved effec-
tive. I would like to work to-
ward furthering the plan next
year, I feel that Rep Council
coulde be even more active and
reach more students on camp-
us. It is designed to be the
sounding board of the com-
munity.
I also favor the plan to have
the minor, routine judicial of-
fenses handled through the
dorm organization and thus rel-
ieve some of the needless work
of Judicial Council. Ideas of this
sort are what I feel are im-
portant for next year.
Agnes Scott is fortunate to
have an active student organ-
ization, and I want to see more
students concerned with cam-
pus government.

To organize, to supervise,
to systematize, and to immor-
talize the essence of Agnes,
'66, is my ambition and the re-
sponsibility of the Editor of
Silhouette .
When I was a delegate to the
Associated Collegiate Press
convention in Chicago this fall,
I realized the enormity and di-
versity of an annual editor-
ship.
Having worked on the copy
staff my sophomore year and as
the editor of the annual's intro-
ductory section this year, I
have had experience with layout
and copy, the two types of con-
tent which the editor supervis-
es.
Because the material for the
'66 Silhouette will depend on the
year itself and on the ideas of
staff members, my ideas for
content are not as presently rel-
evant as my opinions about staff
organization.
In order for the annual to
have unity, each section needs to
be planned in terms of every
other section, the cover, and
the division pages. To assure
continuity, I want to discon-
tinue the tradition of keeping
Christian Association
Quattlebaum
strengthen the office of Vice-
President, and would increase
the effectiveness of CA.
A great deal has been done
this year in the area of World
Awareness; I think, however,
that its scope should be broad-
ened next year. More guest
speakers for informal meet-
ings about various current
issues would be a step in this
direction.
CA's involvement in Service
Projects should also be ex-
tended , particularly in con-
tinuing to develop its work
with the tutorial system.
I believe that CA should de-
finitely continue to be aware
of new ways through which
students can relate their
Christian faith to atlairs tnat
are vital in our community
and nation. CA cannot foster
a truly living faith unless it
is interested in and strives to
find Christian answers to mo-
ral and social questions facing
us today.
There is also a great need
at Agnes Scott , however, for
students to gain a firm basis
for their religious beliefs.
CA has been and should con-
tinue to be conscious of the
necessity of providing ways in
which students can frankly dis-
cuss and question their reli-
gious convictions. I feel that
study groups and hall prayers
should be used more extensi-
vely for this purpose.
It seems that only as stu-
dents build a strong foundation
for their faith and strengthen
their present commitments
can Christian Association be-
come a vital part of Agnes
Scott.
order that adjustments and
needed changes can be made by
Rep. Council.
Changes may involve such
issues as quiet hours, fire dril-
ls, the smokers, and organi-
zation of phone co-op. The
Chairman of House Council pre-
sides over dorm meetings at
which time she announces chan-
ges proposed in Rep. Council
in addition to general announ-
cements other board presidents
have presented in Rep. Coun-
cil.
The office of Chairman of
House Council functions as
coordinator and mediator bet-

ing the hall representatives,

tives, and the senior resident,

of our world in 1965.
I believe very firmly that CA
needs to work creatively in
discovering new approaches to
the religious questions of our
generation, to relate specifi-
cally to the thoughts and ques-
tions of Scott students . If it
is to do this effectively today,
CA must extend in two direc-
tions - both to those who have
found their answers in church
and to those whose only reli-
gious thought may be a neb-
ulous philosophic question
mark. The dialogue in chapel
on "The Divinity of Christ"
is an example of a new appr-
oach. In addition to a contin-
uation of such formal pro-
grams, I would recommend a
new Cabinet position which
would deal solely with the ex-
pressed desire for informal
discussions.
The integrity of the Christ-
ian faith is found in its active
concern and involvement in
the crucial issues of our
time. In the area of human
relations there is a need to
investigate new opportunities
for direct CA participation.
There is also great poten-
tial for Agnes Scott leader-
ship in inter-collegiate con-
cern with race relations.
To widen our perspective in
national and world affairs, I
would encourate close co-op-
eration between the CA World
Awareness chairman and the
The President is respon-
sible for the smooth function-
ing of all aspects of CA's
program - chapels, service
projects, vocations, etc. Her
most difficult task is to be
' sensitive to the needs and at-
titudes of fellow students. If
I am elected, I will do my
best to lead - but also to lis-
ten, to understand, to meet
the challenge of the office of

ciation.
tions are again brought back
to the respective dorms by the
House Presidents.
Thus the most vital role of
House Council is a means of
communication between stu-
dents ingeneral and the legis-
lative body.
The function of the office of
Chairman of House Council and
of House Presidents as it is
now defined in the handbook
needs no change unless reor-
ganization can bring into ef-
fect the needed change of shift-
ing some Judicial duties in-

weekly all-staff work meetings
and access to the filed sec-
tion plans, every staff member
would be able to visualize the
book as a whole.
A good annual depends on
good pictures, but by March
the Silhouette had one student
photographer. A professional
photographer can not capture
candid dorm shots. I hope that
this spring the Silhouette can
organize a group of student pho-
tographers who could begin to
become familiar with the an-
nual's equipment. Perhaps in
early fall, the Taylor Publish-
ing Co. (which prints the Sil-
houette) could sponsor a clinic
for college photographers in
this area.
In order for students to join
the staff with their eyes open,
I would like for those interest-
ed, especially freshmen, to at-
tend a Pub "open-house" this
spring to talk to the out-going
and in-coming section editors.
Every staff member should be
delegated a specific responsi-
bility. If each section editor,
her staff, and photographer
formed a more or less auto-
nomous unit with a do or die
responsibility for their sec-
tion the '66 Silhouette could

The main function of the Sil-

publication, for it is her respon-
sibility to establish the trend
and direction of the various
areas of the annual and to see
that they are well co-ordinated
and suitably related.
It is necessary, in addition,
that she be creative, for a year-
book must certainly reflect the
high artistic ideas of the campus
which it represents.
The Silhouette must be a true
and meaningful reflection of the
clanedar year that it captures,
for both the classes themsel-
ves and the generations to come.
It must reflect every vital facet
of campus life, and its content
should mirror the spirit, inter-
ests, and activities of the stu-
dents therein.
The Silhouette staff, there-
fore, must be primarily con-
cerned with an adequate repre-
sentation of the campus com-
munity, which can be achieved
through the many areas of
photography, lay-outs, organi-
zation, and style.
It must, in addition, be pre-
pared to meet the challenge of
finding new and better ways to
meet the demands of new trends
of thought in yearbook publica-
tion.
The position of Silhouette edi-
tor is a vital one, for it is here
that the co-ordination and or
ganization of the yearbook
rests.

Judicial Chairman
Judy Ahrano
Susan Ledford
This may require a new approach to chat ideal we
cali the honor system and dual responsibility and an ex-
tensive effort to reach all classes, instead of just new
students.
This may require a persistent re-evaluation of the
present rules, working with the administration, and a
new approach to the Handbook perhaps with explana-
tions and interpretations.
This may require the formation of a Student Service
Committee to handle intercollegiate activities, lunch-
room suggestions, and other responsibilities.
This does require more open election campaigning
with panel discussions and statements of platform.
This does require the revamping of our present Con-
stitution and financial support of Arts Council.
This does require an active and publicized Rules
Committee with weekly meetings.
This does require a student body that can get more
than one-forth of its members to popular nominations,,
This does require a student body that is interested
enough in its school to come to Rep Council and voice
their suggestions and grievances openly and construc-
tively.
Only with a strong Rep Council can decentralization
take place; only with a strong and effective House Coun-
cil can dorm councils undertake the minor Judicial re-
sponsibilities.
With such vital forces plus the interest and Integrity
of every student, perhaps progress could be made in hav-
ing dorm sign-out an everyday affair and study smokers
open around the clock.
If every student would offer suggestions and critic-
isms and work creatively for their fulfillment, then the
discontent and tension that has been manifested on this
campus can be channeled into positive and constructive
action.
If this school has let you down, it is because you have
let it down. It is because you and others like you and
before you have not taken an active interest in their stu-
dent government. (continued in next column)
By hierarchical necessity the student government can-
not consider itself equal in power to the administra-
tion. However, student government is equally signifi-
cant. The college does not exist without students and
it cannot exist without administration.
I support strongly the Policy Committee as a channel
of honest exchange of ideas between administration,
faculty, and students. Constructive change comes
through this exchange. Any activity that sets adminis-
tration against the students and students against the ad-
ministration can only be destructive to the hopes and
purposes of both.
The past few weeks in Rep Council have proved that
the administration is receptive to new ideas and mature-
ly formulated concerns of the students and is willing to
act on suggestions. The students and student govern-
ment must likewise be receptive to the problems of
the other components of the college.
Dissatisfaction with the rules that finds expression in
disregard of the rules reflects immaturity and unsophis-
tication. Dissatisfaction that finds expression in con-
structive concern is mature and valid dissatisfaction.
The students who apply for admission should know as
truly as possible the nature of the community to which
they are requesting admission. This knowledge would
foster and support a mature reaction of students to the
community.
In these ways and with these hopes Judicial Council
can become more positively effective in contributing to
the effectiveness of the educational purposes and oppor-
tunities here.
Student Body
President
Debbie Rosen
the individual board members on each hall who should
attempt to know each girl they live with and give each
girl a chance to know them.
I should like to emphasize, but emphasize intelligently
the flagging concept of dual responsibility which is of
basic importance to the preservation of our Honor Sys-
tem. Dual responsibility has been made to seem an alien
virtue while it is actually a normal aspect of life 0
I agree with and would continue the policy held by the
current board that when individuals fail to accept their
responsibility under the Honor System, the council must
of necessity assume it for them.
I would also hope to continue and encourage the present
board's willingness to be an active and creative body, ac-
cepting additional responsibility by giving judicial inter-
pretations to hazy facets of rules and policies.
As is obvious the actual realization of my aims would
be in the hands of the future board members. I feel that
I am capable of organizing and directing such a board.
Who is the student government? Not Rep Council. Not
Judicial Council. Not the Boards. But every student
member of Agnes Scott College. In short, you.
This vision of our college is a lofty one, but I would
like to be a part in its realization.
I have tried to be honest and so I must go on to say
that perhaps no single student administration can accom-
plish this aim. But now is the time to begin.
House Presidents
volving cases of dorm violations , such as signing
in and out, to House Council.
Although the function as it is now structured
needs no change, I think House Council could be
more effective in stressing consideration in the
dorms. Smokers can be closed, but in areas con-
cerning noise regulations cannot be forced, for
this is left to the individual, but consideration can
be stressed. Another area in which dorm spirit
could be strengthened is through inter-dorm com-
petition in basketball, volleyball, tennis, eolf, etc.
The office of Chairman of House Council is a
vital link between students and legislation, and the
choice of one to fill it deserves careful considera-
tion.
Claire Allen
NSA Coordinator
Linda Lou Colvard
In my opinion, the best way for the coordinator to learn the opin-
ions of the student body is for her to present probably issues which
the NSA congress will consider. Then, the various sides of the
issues would be presented to the students by the girls who support
them.
Because each one of us is a member of NSA and the organization
attempts to speak for us, it is very important that the student body
form opinions on the issues and then make their feelings known to
the coordinator who should be available to listen to their points of
view. An arrangement should be made to take an objective student
vote to determine the thinking of the majority of the student body.
On the campus, I would like to see more classroom stimulation
through the interchange of ideas between students and faculty and
more intellectual stimulation and discussion during debates and
discussions outside the classroom. Agnes Scott is a good college
but it will be a great one when we as students are alert and inte-
rested in the current events taking place on other campuses and
across the nation in trends of thought and action.
Specifically, I would like to see more organized seminars on
broad topics involved in the humanities. Also, I would like to
strengthen the relationship and communication between the faculty
and the students by informal discussions between the student body
and members of the faculty in the Hub and in the dining hall.
These things can take place if the NSA coordinator will act as an
active link between the students and the other parts of the campus.
If elected, this is what I intend to do.
Although the NSA congress usually supports the liberal point of
view, I believe that a political conservative, such as myself,
would make a good representative to the summer conference. 1
believe that there should be voices attempting to explain the con-
servative position even though it may be supported by a minority
of students.
While casting Agnes Scott's vote in accordance with the opinion
of the majority of the student body, I could also attempt to explain
the point of view of the conservative minority on campus to illu-
strate that there are indeed two sides to current debates. If elect-
ed as NSA coordinator, I will sincerely endeavor to represent
Agnes Scott well while working for improvements on the campus.

NSA policies are divided into matters of a national and interna-
tional character. Under each of these divisions are Basic Policy
Declarations, which are continuing theories of NSA dealing primar-
ily with student rights and responsibilities as a member of the
academic community equal to its other members.
Basic Policy Decisions are considered to be of such a degree of
importance to the organization as to be placed on an equal status
with the by-laws. Resolutions are continuing policy and are in
effect until repealed. The subject matter of resolutions corre-
sponds generally to current active political and social issues.
Resolutions are enacted on a national level concerning such di-
verse issues as selective service, the aims of education, faculty
pay raises, human relations, and civil liberties. On an interna-
tional level there are resolutions relating to nuclear testing, dis-
armament, and conditions of oppression in various countries.
As NSA coordinator I would encourage Agnes Scott's participa-
tion in USNSA to the fullest extent in order to render our students
the greatest benefits. Some particularly rewarding programs which
are now open to us but in which we do not participate are the
Travel Department's offer of student discount cards for NSA tours.
1 would would recommend that Rep Council designate a Campus
Travel Director to work under the NSA coordinator and activate
this program on campus.
The NSA program for Life Insurance Trust is another privilege
valuable to our students as a member student body. I would like
to see us participate in this program.
The fullest participation in NSA meetings should be encouraged
by Agnes Scott's sending its Student Body President and Judicial
Chairman in addition to the NSA coordinator to the available na-
tional meetings. In this way opinions can be evaluated by three
different student leaders and these leaders can utilize their exper-
iences to improve the several areas of student government.
There is a library of information concerning the problems en-
countered and the solutions found by other campuses in areas of
student government. I would circulate this material to our campus
for the enlightenment of the student body and compile such infor-
mation from our experience in student government activities,
such as freshman orientation, judicial bard, lecture programs,
and speakers, for the benefit of other member colleges.
I would present several chapel programs throughout the year to
inform students of NSA activities and encourage student interest
and participation. I would attempt to anticipate the issues to be
dealt with at this summer's Congress to which I would be a dele-
gate, and would ask for student discussion and opinion to indicate-
to me the position which 1 should take on a particular issue in
cognizance with the wishes of the campus majority.
Since much of the operation of NSA is of a distinctly political
nature, the political inclinations of candidates for the office of
coordinator are legitimate bast s of consideration. Although I
align myself without hesitation with the more liberal political
philosophy on this campus. I can say with complete sincerity that I
would be as objective as possible in my role as coordinator
and would bring back the more conservative opinions encountered
at the National Congress to the conservative elements on campus.
As an elected official, I would consider myself in the role of NSA
coordinator at all times accountable to the student body. But I be-
lieve that by the fact of election that I would be obligated to exer-
cise my own initiative as well. I am eager to serve the student
body in this capacity.

Spelman Students
Discuss Reactions
by Sandy Prescott
"I conform to the rules... If I
can help change them to make
them more realistic, I will...If
I can't do something honestly,
I'd rather not do it."
No, do read on, for this is not
going to be a re-hashing of the
all too familiar. In fact, it is
to be a review of the all too un-
familiar.
The above quote is attributed
to one of the five Spelman ex-
change students who visited Ag-
nes Scott last week. Taken in
context, these words are indica-
tive of the striking similarities
between Agnes Scott and Spel-
man.
Spelman and Agnes Scott are
both small, liberal arts colleges
for women in the metropolitan
Atlanta area. They are both de-
nominationally affiliated and
maintain a strong Christian
identity.
The goal of both colleges is
the development of the whole or
the ideal woman. There are
those who doubt the means of
this development in "the one
big sisterhood," as Spelman's
"sorority system" was called.
And on and on. There are
many similarities between Scott
and Spelman. The one big dif-
ference which has kept them
strangers to each otherwas re-
in Dved last week.
Del ores Turner comm anted
on her visit: "I thought they
would talk more about race re-
lations, and I'm glad we haven't.
We talk like college students and
I don't realize there's a differ-
ence unless I look around."
"Dee" is a senior psycholo-
gy major from Atlanta who plans
to teach elementary school in
this area after graduation.
In general, the Spelman girls
observed more of a concern
here at Scott on "getting mar-
ried immediately after gradua-
tion."
This may seem incongruous
considering how many more
men the Spelman girls see .
around campus. (In addition to
Spelman, the Atlanta Universi-
ty system includes AU which is
huge and coed, Clarke- coed,
Morehouse which is a little
larger and all men, and Morris
Brown, co-ed).
But , for the same reason, it
may seem very logical that at
Spelman"Fratpins are like high
school rings," as Cheryl Bir-
chette observes.
As president of her sopho-
more class, Cheryl is typical of
those who are overflowing with
bits of wisdom and wit. In her
case, this writer will admit it
was not "foolish," for Cheryl
really is a "biology major who
acts like an English major and
whom everybody thinks is a
French major,"

Spelman Exchange Broadens
Scoffs Liberal Horizons
The Scott-Spelman exchange last week seems to have been a re-
warding experience for all involved. Agnes Scott students enjoyed a
friendly exchange of advice and ideas with the five personable young
women who came here from Spelman.
In retrospect, the exchange with Spelman seems to have been the
perfect program. The two schools are identical or similar in many
ways, so our problems are also alike.
By permitting the exchange between Scott and Spelman, the col-
lege has again clarified its liberal stand on the racial issue.
Most important, many Scott students made their first real friend-
ships with Negro college students. Once the step had been taken,
color was forgotten.
This is as it should be. Agnes Scott students felt like amateurs
in realizing this for the first time.
This is the first exchange Scott has participated in since the
Scott-Smith exchange three years ago. Since that time, Smith has
exchanged students with many other colleges, including two colleges
in the Atlanta area (Emory and Spelman).
Spelman also has participated in several exchange programs -
with most of the "Seven Sister" schools as well as many others.
This kind of exchange program is something we should definitely
have more of at Scott. The change of atmosphere on campus during
the Spelman exchange was no accident. The campus wakes up when
presented with new ideas and new values.
We at Agnes Scott need to be confronted with views and problems
other than our own. We should be sick of being classified as
cloistered idealists. ,
We should, of course, attempt to broaden our outlooks on our
own, but the college can help us through more programs in which
students meet and talk with each other. It is surprising how little
communication exists even among students in the Atlanta area.
We cannot, therefore, drop the exchange idea to pat ourselves on
the back about how successfully we exchanged with Spelman. The
results of a sincere effort for communication must always be good.
The exchange program at Scott should and must be continued.

Easter Services Include
Comparison Of Liturgies
by Grace Winn
In connection with this year's
emphasis on worship, Christian
Association Cabinet has plan-
ned a series of worship ser-
vices, morning watches, and a
sunrise service for Holy Week,
April 12-18.
The worship services will be
held during the chapel hour,
Monday through Friday. They
have been planned on the theory
that the best method of learn-
ing about worship is by doing it.
They will use the liturgies of
five different churches, with a
backward progression in time
as we approach Easter.
This is not a presentation for
the entertainment or even for
the education of the campus, but
an invitation to join in a wor-
ship experience.
Monday's service, directed
by Lynne Burton, will be a mod-
ern worship service using con-
temporary language and music
from the Twentieth Century
Folk Mass.
For Tuesday Heather Roberts
has planned a service using the
liturgy of the Church of South
India.
Honorary Elects Uzzell
As National President
The National Convention of
Eta Sigma Phi, national class-
ics honorary fraternity, recc n-
tly elected Agnes Scott junior
Sarah Uzzell to the off ice of na-
tional president. Sarah held the
office of national treasurer dur-
ing the past year. This is the
first time that any one has
held a national office two years
in succession.
Sarah's official title as na-
tional president is Megas
Prytanis. She along with three
other Agnes Scott students,
Claire Gaines, Suzanne Scog-
gins and Bonnie Wade attend-
ed the convention March 26
and 27, neid at the Hotel Rich-
mond, Richmond, Virginia.
Ninety-two delegates repre-
senting thirty-two schools were
present at the conference.
As national president, Sarah
will organize and preside over
the 1965 national convention
which will be held at Canisius
College, Buffalo, New York.
Agnes Scott has the Alpha
Delta chapter of Eta Sigma
Phi. The members include
Teena Biscoe, Claire Gaines,
Jane Keiger, Liddell Mcleod,
Suzanne Scoggins, Karen Stifel-
meyer, Sarah Uzzell and Bon-
nie Wade.
Sheila Terrill is directing the
Huguenot service on Wednes-
day.
Nancy Yontz and Jean Hoe-
fer will conduct a service ap-
proximating the worship of the
High Middle Ages on Thurs-
day.
On Good Friday there will be
a reconstruction of a Second
Century worship service, di-
rected by Sue Marshall.
The art work for the series
is being planned by Peggy Whit-
taker, and the music by Linda
Marks.
The orders of worship for
the services will be printed so
that the participants may keep
them to compare the different
liturgies.
A further opportunity for wor-
ship during the week before
Easter will be the five morning
watches, Monday through Fri-
day, at 8 a.m. in the amphi-
theater.
Under the direction of Mary
Brown, these brief services
will be studies of the events of
the week between the entry into
Jerusalem and the Resurrec-
tion.
The final event of the Holy
Week series will be a sunrise
service at 7 a.m. on Easter
morning in the amphitheater.
Neighboring churches have
been invited, and the service
will be followed by a community
breakfast in the lower dining
hall.
rJLetterA ^Jo ^Jke Editor
Spelman Student
Finds Exchange
Very Rewarding
Dear Editor
My recent visit to Agnes Scott
was an experience that I will
long remember. The students,
faculty, and everyone at Scott
were so nice to us. I want to
thank everyone Mrs. Peppe-
dene, Dean Chievers of Spel-
man, Drs. Alston and Manley,
and the student governments of
both colleges for initiating,
planning and carrying through
this endeavor.
The experience has added
greatly to my education. My
greatest hope is that the Scott
girls (those who went and those
who stayed) benefited as much
from the experience as the Spel-
man participants.
The various reasons I will
never forget many of the girls
Nancy Yontz (my brilliant,
though sometimes forgetful
roomate), Betty Armstrong
(who can ever forget a nick-
name like 'Mouse"), Poppy
Wilson (who must be the cutest
little girl in the world), Hoe-
fer (who should be the model
for an intellectual rag doll),

DELO RES TURNER
Gehan Protests
Interference
Of "Guardians"
Dear Editor:
There is a recent event at,
Agnes Scott which has disturbed
me greatly and which I feel
should be brought to common
light and officially answered
by those responsible for this
decision.
The specific item which con-
cerns me and which seems to
me to be an unnecessary inter-
ference in the students' morals
and private lives is the recent
declaration that the apartment
of a certain ex-Scottie now liv-
ing in Atlanta is off-limits af-
ter ATL.
This attitude implies, to me,
a distinct expression of a feel-
ing that I have often sensed in
my four years here but which
has never before been express-
ed in a concrete and there-
fore arguable manner. This
attitude is, to be blunt, the
feeling that Scott girls are not
to be trusted and that some civ-
ilized aspects of a private life,
such as the occasions of temp-
tation offered by this apartment
for drinking and/or sex are
to be met with reprisals.
The lack of privacy accounted
us is, in my opinion, another
expression of this same attitude
a girl cannot, legally or
"morally" - - in Scott's very
retarded view be alone phys-
ically at night without engen-
dering both suspicion, and, if
repeated often enough, a "talk"
with one of the guardians of the
public morals mat we have in
residence.
Someone must at least
legally know where you are
at ALL times, and you cannot
leave the campus alone even
to get a cup of coffee at the
Pizza by Candlelight after
ATL.
It seems to me that the free-
dom to be alone and therefore
the freedom to make individual
decisions if necessary some
of which will most probably be
morally "wrong" - is basic to
an education that is to be any-
thing more than superficial.
The declaration that this
apartment is off-limits shows
exactly how far we are trust-
ed; we are trusted with boys,
but not with ourselves, to make
our own decisions.
I am only glad that my time
of service is almost up and that
I can soon live my own private
life without Scott's smothering
moral togetherness.

Social Council's Spring Fash-
ion Show in chapel Friday, April
2, previewed the season's
"Look" for Atlanta and Agnes
Scott.
Franklin-Simon's of Atlanta
supplied the clothes, and Mar-
ian's Beauty Salon of Decatur
supplied the models with spring
hairstyles.
Ten Scott girls modeled spr-
ing fashions of all types. Mrs.
Janet Allen described the fash-
ions and commented on this
year's spring trends..
The **frothy, feminine look"
is big this season, and it comes
in everything from culottes to
hostess gowns.
Anything goes on the beach
as far as colors are concern-
ed. Swimsuits are brief and
bright.
The Picadilly, already popu-
lar on campus, has new and col-
orful variations for the sea-
son. Bright, offbeat patterns are
a part of this season's Pica-
dilly look.
London's influence on spring
fashions is evidenced in the
smart "London" cut of suits,
and in the "Mod" patent leather
hats.
Dressier fashions feature the
walking coat and the coat dress.
Spring's standards, beige and
navy blue, are joined by brigh-
ter colors. Pink, in countless
shades, is good this year.
Evening wear is elegant,
starking, and simply styled.
Here too the delicate, frothy
look is in evidence. "Candle-
light Hour" fashions, too, fea-
ture a lot of pink.
Social Council's Libby Mc-
Geachy and Mrs. Allen drew
three names for door prizes
from Franklin Simon's at the
conclusion of the show:
Carol Scott won a shampoo
and set at the Franklin-Simon
Beauty Salon; Joan Kiker won
a pair of shoes; and Eva Lewis,
of Hub fame, won a John Ro-
maine purse.

Elizabethan Songs
by Linda Marks
Many who entered Gaines Au-
ditorium last Tuesday evening
and noticed that the stage was
set with a semicircle of tables
and chairs might have wonder-
ed whether they had come to
the right place. They had come
to the right place- for one of the
most intriguing and distinctive
concerts they had probably ever
heard.
The Ceciliennes, a group of
thirteen girls from William
Woods College in Fulton, Mis-
souri, sang with an energetic
sense of wonder that could hard-
ly help being contagious. Their
dress and bearing were those of
aristocratic Elizabethans, am-
using themselves after a feast
by singing madrigals at sight.
But it is doubtful whether any
random tableful of overly-stuff-
ed Elizabethans could even
remotely approach the polish
and enthusiasm of their twent-

Discotheque,
Sazeracs:
A Big Hit
The second sophomore-spon-
sored discotheque of the year
was held in the Hub last Satur-
day.
Following the folk-singing
concert, Scott girls, with or
without dates, and boys from all
Tech and Emory fraternities
received for their admission
fee of 25 an evening of the
latest dances and music, as
well as refreshments.
The Hub was decorated in the
typical ye-ye fashion and the
music was the recorded beat of
such disco-artists as Johnny
Rivers.
It has been suggested that in
the future Social Council hold
such functions to replace the
traditional mixer.
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.

SPELMAN EXCHANGE
Cheryl is from Teaneck, New
Jersey. As a Yankee, she is in
the minority at Spelman. She
figures she will travel to dis-
tant lands after graduation. She
says, "will have to be a medi-
cal librarian in a French hos-
pital" in order to harness all
her interests.
Marian Shivers is a vivac-
ious future teacher who, as
president of her senior class,
has found a way to harness her
interests. She is a true politi-
cian who usually finds some-
thing good to say on any sub-
ject.
For example, this perceptive
psychology major likes Scott's
"Meet the Candidates,' but "I
like /our/ open campaigning
too."
A petite senior psych major
from Camilla, Georgia, Connie
Johnson had very little to say on
any subject. Her silence
though, was intentional, for she
said she soon realized she was
giving out all the wrong infor-
mation about Spelman. Like
Scott seniors, she finds it dif-
ficult to remember all the cam-
pus details.
Ernestine Beck is from Ash-
ville, N.C., and is a sophomore
sociology major who seems to
share the "major concern" of
Scotties. She wants to get mar-
ried after graduation, but was
vague on when and wouldn't say
if she really had the groom
picked.
Ernestine voiced a very pro s-
ceptive opinion about the idea
of the "core curriculum," as
Spelman's required courses are
called.
Spelman students, as far as
these girls could remember,
must take one year of math,
philosophy, and religion; hu-
manities as freshman, political
science, and speech; two years
of a foreign language, of Eng-
lish, and history along with six
semesters of P.E.
Quite a load, for as Ernes-
tine put it, "when you start
flunking the requirements
you've had it."
All the girls agreed that at a
predominantly Negro college
there are distracting pressures
which can make studying diffi-
cult. Cheryl pointed out that
many just don't have the time
to spare from classes, for ex-
ample, to join demonstrations
or picket-lines.
She addes, "Many people are
interested in demonstrating but
they are impressed with their
role as representatives of the
school. People are not discrim-
inated against for not partici-
pating. You are informed, kept
abreast of what's going on, and
you decide for yourself how
much you want to participate."
Ernestine remarked that she
had not picketed since once at
Rich's when she realized she
was picketing Negroes, too. "I
said, 'Just forget it 1 * "
Cheryl adds, the younger kids,
some still in high school, "are
much more impressionable. . .
all set to uump in without di-
rection" or understanding. This
has led to unpleasant experien-
ces for some, she says.
All the girls agreed that "At-
lanta is like the Vatican set
apart from Rome" as far as
race relations are concerned.
Connie, for instance, would have
a very "difficult" time finding
a good job in her home town,
Camilla.
There was another point on
which all agreed. Although the
girls enjoyed all the classes
visited, Mrs. Pepperdene's ran
a definite favorite. In general,
the classes at Spelman vary,
as they do at Scott, between
straight lectures and seminars.
All in all, this writer be-
lieves that the sponsors of this
exchange program deserve a
very sincere thank-you for the
interesting and fun three days at
Scott last week. Rumor has it
that the Scott girls who went to
Spelman feel the same was ac-
:omplished from that end.

Mortar Board Sponsors Panel
by Libba Goud
Freshmen and sophomores
will have a preview of the quar-
ters to come tomorrow night
when Mortar Board sponsors a
panel discussion on the major
fields available at Agnes Scott
The panel will be composed of
students majoring in each field,
who will discuss the organiza-

Broer To Analyze Movements
by Mary Ann Miller
Dr. Marion R. Broer, visit-
ing scholar for the Physical
Education group of the Univer-
sity Center of Georgia, is cur-
rently staying on the Agnes
Scott campus.
Thursday, she will work with
the 9:30 and 11:10 gym clas-
ses in the gym in activity
sessions. In these sessions she
will analyze movements.
Dr. Broer received her B.S.
and M. S. at the University of
Wisconsin and her Ph.D. at New
York University. She has taught
at several colleges and univer-
sities and is now a professor
of physical education at the
Ceciliennes
ieth-cc ntury imitators.
The Ceciliennes sang mad-
rigals from the sixteenth and
early seventeenth centuries,
ranging from intensely fevernt
love-songs such as "Come
again, sweet love" to "Un jour
vis un foulon," a nonsense song
about a man making soap. In
all their singing they were pro-
perly motivated, and, whether
gay or sad, the emotion they
represented seemed genuine.
Their excellent training and
balance were evident in the ma-
drigals, which are, at best, com-
plicated and difficult to sing,
and in the nineteenth-century
numbers: excerpts from the
Villa-Lobos Missa sao Sebast-
iao" and two songs from
Bra hms.
Their singing was every-
where tempered with reserve:
one felt that they could be sing-
ing rwio as loudly and vigo-
rously, but one was glad that
they did not.
The entire concert was taste-
fully out-of-the-ordinary. Even
the director entered into the
spirit by matter-of-f actly turn-
ing around to explain interest-
ing footnotes to the audience.
University of Washington in
Seattle.
She has written two books,
Efficiency of Human Movement
and Individual Sports for Wo-
men, and has also had publish-
ed numerous articles in The
journal of Health, P hy sical Ed-
ucation, and Recreation, The
Research Quarterly , and The
Physical Educator and Quest.
Dr. Broer has conducted sev-
eral workshops in movement
education and has done tele-
vision programs on "Body Me-
chanics in the Homes."
Tuesday, Dr. Broer went to
the University of Georgia to
speak at a dinner for the Phy-
sical Education group of the
University Center. The subject
of her illustrated talk was
"Common Threads of Human
Movement."
Dr. Broer also plans to meet
with the physical educationf ac-
uities of Emory and Georgia
Tech. Dr. Broer arrived Mon-
day night and will remain
here until Friday morning.
Yungblut Leads Talk
On Tournier' s Book
Practice of the Swiss Ecumeni-
cal Institute, will speak at Agnes
Scott later in the quarter.
Elections
Suzanne Mallory was elected
president of the rising senior
class.
Gue Pardue was chosen class
president by next year's soph-
omores.
Bonnie Jo Henderson was el-
ected editor of the Aurora,
Scott's literary magazine.
Dale Pome ranee will be the
'65- '66 Chairman of Day Stud-
ents.
Debbie Potts will head House
Presidents' Council, which in-
cludes the following House
Presidents: Betsy Anderson.
A runoff will be held for the
other four posts.
by Ann Roberts
Mrs. Yungblut led the Chris-
tian Association-sponsored dis-
cussion on Escape From Lone-
liness in the Cabin last night.
The book, written by Paul
Tournier, a Swiss physician
and theologian, maintains that
loneliness is the malady of the
age. It results from the compe-
titive spirit of the modern
world, for by man's sense of in-
dependence he has cut himself
off from other men.
Tournier suggests that man
needs not the justice and equal-
ity for which he cries but love
for all men. He cannot continue
to seek hapoiness as a thing to
be individually owned but to be
shared.
The Geneva doctor combines
his findings as a therapist with
the Christian concept of com-
munity. He sees m an as a crea-
ture of God living in open rela-
tionships with other men.
Tournier, who is an active
worker in the organization in
Christian Faith and Medical
courses relating to the var-
ious major fields.
Because of the size of such a
panel, it will be divided into
two groups. Students are wel-
come to attend both panels or
only the one which interests
them. The first, set for 8:15
p.m. in McLean Auditorium,
will include the following major
fields:
English, Philosophy, Bible,
Music, Speech, Art and Langu-
ages.
The second panel will be held
at 9:15 p.m., also in McLean,
and the following fields will
be discussed: The sciences,
Math, Classics and Political
Scienct .
The moderator for both pan-
els will be Georgia Gillis, who
will also discuss teacher edu-
cation for both secondary and
elementary schools.
It is hoped that, through this
project, freshmen will be able
to look ahead to eventual major
selection when choosing their
sophomore courses, and sopho-
mores will understand more a-
bout the departments before
choosing a major.
The panelists will stress the
multiple possibilities available
in every major field through
wise choice of electives. Each
will express what to her has
been the challenge and the in-
terest of her department.
Mortar Board hopes that as
many freshmen and sopho-
mores as possible will take ad-
vantage of this opportunity to
hear other students discuss the
available programs of study.
They feel that this may also
encourage underclassmen to
seek the help of upperclassmen
and professors when making
course decisions.
Church Related
Vocation Series
Another in the series of church
related vocational meetings will
be held Wednesday, April 7, at
five o'clock in East Main date
parlor.
Ben Hartley, editor of 'The
Presbyterian Survey", the offi-
cial publication of the Presby-
terian church, will be the speak-
er. His topic will deal with the
subject of religious journalism.

man of church related voca-
tions urges those interested in
this subject to attend the meet-
ing.

and has lived in China five
years, Dr. Mehnert is well ac-
quainted with the elements of
the Sino-Soviet rift.

colorful" person.
"Measurement Problems in
the Social Sciences" will be
Mr. Lazersfeld's subject when
he speaks here Friday, April 16,
at 9:30 in Maclean Auditorium.
Mr. Lazersfeld will also speak
at the University of Georgia
and Emory.
by Lucy Williams
Dr. Paul Tournier, noted psy-
chiatrist-theologian of Geneva,
Switzerland, will lecture in cha-
pel on Tuesday, April 20. His
topic will be "Young People
and Loneliness". At 12:30 p.m.
Dr. Tournier will attend a
luncheon with Agnes Scott stud-
ents and faculty.
Mrs. JohnYungblutof the Eng-
lish Department recently led
discussion held in the Cabin on
Dr. Tournier's book, Escape
from Loneliness, published in
1962.
"We are lonely," says the
author, "because of our spirit
of competion, which leads us
to use each other as things
in the race for personal suc-
cess. . . We exclude each other
as things in the race for per-
sonal success. . . We exclude
each other in our possessive-
ness, seeking happiness as if it
were something to be indivi-
dually owned, whereas it can
only be shared. . .".
Dr. Tournier comes to Agnes
Scott as a University Center
Lecturer in cooperation with
several campus and community
groups. He was born in Geneva,
Switzerland, and has practiced
general medicine and psychia-
try there since 1928.
In one of his books Dr. Tour-
nier describes himself as "the
least specialized of all doctors.
I am nothing more than an ob-
server of man, the infinitely di-
verse and infinitely similar
man who comes to me day
after day to open his heart."
Dr. Tournier's deep relig-
ious convictions and his inter-
est in the whole man has led
him to the concept of medi-
cine of the Person. He has writ-
ten a book on this subject en-
titled Medicine de la Personne
which is considered his most
important single work to date.
It was published in English
in January under the title of
The Healing of Persons.
About the concept of Medicine
of the Person, Dr. Tournier
states that this is "medicine
itself, lighted by the sun of the
spirit, adding a sense of trans-
cendence to the two elements,
body and mind. It is the third
dimension of medicine, which
takes account of the true nature
of man as a sick person rather
than only a sick body."
Dr. Tournier's books have
been translated into ten langua-
ges. They include A Doctor's
Casebook in the Light of the
Bible, Guilt and Grace, The
Strong and the Weak. The Mean-
ing of Persons , The Meaning
of Gilts , ana lne Seasons of the
Life.
Marriage Difficulties will be
published in English this f all and
The Secret will be published
in English in the spring of
1966.
Among the other speaking en-
gagements scheduled for Dr.
Tournier's visit to Atlanta is
the public lecture," The Irra-
tional Aspect of Life" Tues-
day, April 20, at the Alumni
Building Auditorium, Emory
University at 8:00 P.M. and the
lecture, "The Meaning of Guilt
and Grace" Wednesday, April
21, at Columbia Presbyterian
Church, Columbia Theological
Seminary at 10:00 a.m.
Dr. Tournier will speak in
French, but as he speaks, an
interpreter will translate his
address into English.
ASC vs. HARVARD
Female Superiority
In Harvard Debate
by Ann Roberts
Pi Alpha Phi Debating Soc-
iety held a humorous debate
with Harvard last Friday.
Margaret Brawner and Jean
Hoefer spoke for the negative
side of the topic "Resolved:
That Co-education is No Educa-
tion" Rick Richmon and Brant
Mitler represented Harvard
for the affirmative.
The affirmative team bas-
ed its arguments against co-
education on the fact that wo-
men are naturally superior to
men and should receive a sup-
erior, and therefore separate,
education. They cited evidence
to show that women excel men
by being constitutionally stron-
ger, healthier, smarter, and
emotionally stronger.
They pointed out a recent Gal-
lup Poll demonstrating that a
definite majority of people in
the United States think women
are prettier, have better figur-
es, and are nicer, the last be-
cause they never swear or fight
and, surprisingly enough, sel-
dom get drunk.
In its argument, the negative
team trace d the history of Ame-
rican education, emphasizing
that only since 1900 has co-
education been wide-spread.
The Scott speakers did not deny
that fact of female superiority,
but regretted that it took the
mal so long to recognize it.
The affirmative speakers
noted that combined classes for
Harvard and Radcliff seem to
beenfit no one, and that the
"Cliff ies" are especially worse
off for it.
Girls have less of a chance
when they share classes with
boys, and the boys feel inferior.
Generally, as Hoefer phrased it,
girls suffer when forced to be

There followed much tossing
about of, a comment by a for-
mer Barnard dean stating that
tests show more differences
within the sexes than between
them.
The debate ended with a heat-

distraction " issue, which,
maintained the Scott team, girls
are "all for."

Administration Considers Rep Council
by Libba Goud
The Administrative Commit-
tee, meeting last week to con-
sider the propoals passed
by Rep Council, voted to ac-
cept four and reject two.
The Atlanta area was enlar-
ged to include Stone Mour <n,
thereby making it unnecessary
to sign out for out of town when
going to Stone Mountain after
ATL. The Committee will fur-
ther sDAy the Atlanta area
to see if any more revisions
are necessary.
Late time limit on Sun-
day night was extended to 11:45
the same limit as on weekday
nights. This change goes into ef-
fect April 18.
_J3oys other than family and
clergy will be permitted in the
infirmary on weekends, though
the date for this change is un-
decided. Patients must have ad-
vance consultation with the
nurse.
The committee changed the
staff dining hall from the base-
ment of Rebekah to Rebekah
Rec Room. Further study is
planned to see if this change
should be a permanent one or
if there would te a better place.
The rule which would have
allowed smoking in cars on
campus was rejected by the
committee. Rep Council has
rewritten the policy to be re-
considered by the administra-
tion. The new policy is an open
policy restriction certain
areas.
The other change rejected by
the committee would have al-
lowed sophomores to have cars
on campus. The reasons
for the rejection were lacK of
parking facilities, the increa-
sed number of cars that would
be brought on campus, and gene-
ral problems such as chaper-
onage.

Guest Vows
Continuing Improvement
Next week's PROFILE will be the first edition published by the
newly-chosen staff. My staff and I will fill the places of a hand-
ful of students who for the last year have made the newspaper a
publication in which we can all take pride.
These conscientious, competent, and hard-working seniors have
changed a weekly "in-crowd" performance into a college news-
paper.
They have improved the PROFILE'S coverage, variety, and
photography.' And they have improved your newspaper in many
many behind -the-scenes ways that you may never have noticed,
but which nonetheless contributed a great deal to its improve-
ment.
Because last year's staff made the PROFILE as good a news-
paper as it is, we who succeed them have a greater opportunity
than ever before to make it an even better newspaper.
Of course, you know better than to expect radical changes in
next week's paper; but I canpromise that before long you will see
a PROFILE in which the plans and goals of a new staff have mater-
ialized.
You can expect firm, openly expressed, editorial statements
that will voice the opinions of a unified editorial staff.
You can expect more feature stories which will reveal the cam-
pus climate on issues from the international to the campus level
and which will focus on Agnes Scott students as thinking; indivi-
duals. b
You will soon be reading a PROFILE that will not let you forget
or ignore the fact that we are a student-led campus, trying very
hard to improve this school on the student level.
The new PROFILE would be an overnight succi ss if it were up
to the staff. We are willing, excited, optimistic, and I think quite
competent to do the job.
But is is not up to the staff alone. It is up to every student on
this campus to make this a good year for your newspaper.
You make a lot of the news, you read the news, and you have
opinions about the news. And unless you do your part, your news-
paper will be stale and dry, no matter how hard the staff tries.
Your part is this; Read your papers, and tell me what you think
of what you read. Better yet, write me a letter and tell the cam-
pus what you think.
If you are in a position of leadership, see to it that the campus
knows what you are trying to do for the school. The PROFILE will
do its part, but we can hardly send reporters to every single
committer meeting every week.
A committee room can be the most secret place on campus,
but it does not have to be that way. If you want the campus to be
informedand interested in what you are trying to do, use the news-
paper. That is what it is here for.
I have talked about only a few of the improvements that we
want to make in this year's PROFILE. I promise you the best
possible effort on my part, and on the part of my staff.
If you care enough to help, and if you will do your part it will
be very good PROFILE.
And you will see what tremendous constructive and creative
power a newspaper can have.

On Smoking At ASC
The new "open smoking policy" which Rules Committee
presented to Rep Council last week, is indeed worthy of notice.
Rep Council made every effort to keep the policy as "open"
as possible, naming only a very few areas off-limits for smok-
ing.
This policy reflects the spirit of Agnes Scott in 1965. It
actually allows the student too much freedom- so much that
she is forced to set her own rules of behavior.
This, we believe, is a step forward.
If and when this new smoking policy goes into effect, the matur-
ity of the Agnes Scott student will be tested.
She is strongly urged to use discretion in smoking. She is
asked to be responsible for herself and for her appearance.
Can we accept responsibly the freedom which we ask for in
this case as well as in others?
We urge students of Agnes Scott to activate the movement
for social freedom through their maturity in supporting this
policy.
^ The "non-smoking" policy has been passed by Representative
Council and is now subject to the approval of the administra-
tive committee. If it is approved, Rep. Council will recommend
that it go into effect as soon as possible.

11964-1965 In Review?
including a scandalous attack on
stone throwers and other critics
Naturally, this year at Agnes Scott has not been the Utopia
we once dreamed of. Hopes and plans, made in the heat of elec-
tions and retreat, have disappeared, and the cold face of reality
has taken their place.
Some things have been accomplished- both in Student Govern-
ment and in other areas: Improvements, constructive changes
which have perhaps been recognized by the student body.
The PROFILE, too, has improved bit by bit. Oh yes, we have
struggled along, hampered by fate and various scarey enemies,
thinking we were uniquely wonderful although terribly misunder-
stood by various groups on campus wanting their stories on the
front page.
After a year of exciting, creative manual labor, the editors
grow prematurely old and free underpaid. This is the signal for
new, enthusiastic II blood to take over.
The new staff of the PROFILE deserves the cooperation of
the student body.
Please voice complaints in a soft, pleasant and ready-to-help
voice, without seeming to interfere in something that is none of
your business.
Please do not whisper about defects in the newspaper in front
of the editor.
Please do not laugh if the lines aren't straight or if someone
(accidently) left the "campus" off of Campus Countdown.
Please say nic^ things to the editor about her editorial and/
or layout every week. Editors are sensitive people and like to
hear nice comments. Besides, a large percent of newspaper
editors have ulcers and stone bruises and usually bad tempers,
no money, and bad grades.
Common Interest
In Folk Music
Initiates Society
At a recent meeting, a large
group of folk-music lovers
adopted a constitution, elected
officers, and declared them-
selves in Business as the At-
lanta Folk Music Society. Their
intention in forming the society
was the promotion and perfor-
mance of folk art throughout
the Southeast; they plan publi-
cations, field trips, a tape li-
brary, a folk festival, sings and
concerts.
Those present elected Ele-
anor Walden as the Society's
First President, Bernice Rea-
gon, Vice President, Martha
Foote, Recording Secretary,
Members at the organiza-
tional meeting included ama-
teurs and professionals, singp
ers and instrumentalists and
listeners. Among them were
Ernie Marrs, regarded by
many as the Southeasts's lea-
ding topical song writer; Kay
Cothron, regarded by Ernie
Marrs as the Southeast's lea-
ding topical song writer; Be-
rnice Reagon, the lead sopra-
no in the original Albany Free-
dom Singers; Jeaneane Bril-
es, who has appeared on Grand
Old Opry; Jeff Espina, one of
Atlanta's most accomplished
guitarists; Red Bell, ininerant
banjo-neck maker; Max Ivey,
who while still a Tech under-
graduate has made a name for
himself as a guitarmaker and
custom izer; Bud Foote, Tech
professor, topical song-writer,
and jingleer; and many others.
A fund-raising concert is
planned for the near future. In-
quiries about membership

Intercollegiate Magazine Has
Uniqueness To Offer To Student
A national intercollegiate
magazine devoted to the general
interests of college students-
including sex, sports, careers,
religion, fine arts, travel, fash-
ions, poetry, humor and fiction-
will make its first appearance
this Spring, according to an an-
nouncement by the magazine's
founder, RDL Publishing Com-
pany.
The name of the magazine will
not be publicized until the first
issue goes on sale, according to
the publisher. This is necessary
to protect the name until it is
registered as a trademark. The
uniqueness of the publication
will be its national charact-
er, being written for, by, and
about college students through-
out the United States.
There is great diversity on
the campuses throughout the
country, but the individual stu-
dent wants to be informed about
the thought, the spirit, the news
of other students in other parts
of the country. Students are
aware that "college" is more
than the familiar things at their
own school, but a dearth of cov-
erage of collegiate affairs sty-
mies their curiousity. This cre-
ates a need for a communica-
tions medium that is aimed at
this desire to be informed
about other colleges, in the
opinion of the magazine's pub-
lisher.
The magazine will be issued
ten months a year, September
through June, with the first is-
sue being published this Spring.
The magazine is currently buy-
ing cartoons, photos and short
articles but assumes no res-
ponsibility to return material
submitted for consideration un-
less accompanied by a self-
addressed envelope with return
postage. The usual require-
ments for material submitted
to magazines, such as double
spacing, etc. should be obser-
ved.
The publisher is presently
seeking circulation represen-
tatives for all campuses, who
will be paid on a commission
basis. Aminimum of two hours
per week will be required, and
as many additional hours can
be worked as desired. The ad-
dress for those interested is:
RDL Publishing Co., Box 1331,
Atlanta, Georgia 30301. Addi-
tional information will be fur-
nished to those who reply.
Curriculum Evaluation
Course criticism sheets for
the content of the winter quar-
ter curriculum will be placed
in student mailboxes on Thurs-
day, April 15. Student Curri-
culum Committee requests that
the sheets be placed in the box
in the mailroom by Friday, Ap-
ril 23.
The good response of last
quarter must be repeated for
this year-long evaluation to be
a genuine representation of stu-
dent views.
Each student is requested to
return her sheet, whether blank
or filled with praise or sugges-
tions for change in or addition
to the curriculum.
Results will be compiled by
the committee and channelled by
the Dean of the Faculty to the
appropriate departments.

Administration To Review
Lower Dining Hall Policy
by Louise Bruechert
The lower dining hall, a rela-
tively new addition to Agnes
Scott, has finally been initiat-
ed into the campus life by hav-
ing the representative council
pass a policy about it. Rep.
council, made up of elected re-
presentatives from each class
and campus organization, is
the first to consider questions
concerning such things as stu-
dent dress policy.
After the council has reach-
ed an agreement or passed a
administration committee for
changes or final approval. Such
is the procedure now taking
place concerning the lower din-
ing hall.
Susan Ledford, secretary of
student government, said there
are two main points being con-
sidered about this dress policy
in question. First, it has been
suggested that sports clothes be
permissable during all night
snack periods and also during
the Saturday morning snack
time.
The second point has to so
with wearing hair rolled up.
This is suggested to be per-
mitted at the night snack per-
iods, and at all meals.
If students were allowed to
wear their hair rolled up to
all meals, they could restrict
themselves to the lower dining
hall at most times, particular-
ly on Friday nights when the
sight of such attire does not
present the most favorable im-
pression to dates and guests.
These questions mentioned
about the dress policy are still
subject to the approval of the
administrative committee.
Nancy Yontz stressed the fact
that if students show general
good taste at all times, there
should be no problem with fac-
ulty-student co-operation and
agreement.

EMORY UNIVERSITY
Should Students Rate Teachers?
(ACP Professors need in-
centive to place instruction a-
head of research, says the
Emory Wheel , Emory Univer-
sity, Atlanta, Georgia.
The incentive suggested was
a student survey of professors,
Emory's College Council last
year asked juniors and seniors
to rate professors according to
such things as knowledge of
subject, preparedness and
classroom attitude. The tabula-
ted results were distributed to
the student body.
The newspaper said:
While the report was being
compiled, severe criticism was
heaped upon the College Coun-
cil for having the audacity to
suggest that one professor
might be a much worse teacher
than another.
After the report was issued,
however, the comments were
more favorable. Faculty and
administrators admitted that
students had been very open-
m inded about the ratings and had
shown an unexpected percep-
tion.
"Hard" professors, verbally
criticized for difficult tests,
had some of the best ratings,
while professors who don't
force students to produce rank-
ed low.
Results were noticed in some
areas the following quarter,
and several professors told
their classes the report had
shown them inadequacies in
their teaching they were un-
aware of.
In other words, the faculty
evaluation served as an incen-
tive to some faculty to imp-
rove what should be their pri-
mary job teaching.
This question of teaching ver-
sus research is receiving in-
creasing attention as one of the
major problems facing the
teaching profession. A rectnt
article in Time magazine en-
titled "Publish or Perish" told
of professors released from
colleges or decreased in rank
because of their lack of pro-
ductiveness in journals.
John Fischer said in Harp-
er's magazine that "there is no
solid, safe yardstick that a dean
or department head can use to
justify raising the pay of a
good instructor or firing a poor
one. . ." so "the administra-
tor falls back on something
that can be measured: research
and publications."
There is more, but the moral
is here: if a student survey of
teachers were taken regularly,
preferably with the approval of
the administration, a yardstick
would exist. Such "guides to
courses and teachers'* are pub-
lished quarterly at out inflict-
ing "any irreparable blight."
We would like to see this
adopted as a regular program
at Emory.
Gamblers, Newspapermen
Have Plenty Of "Acid"
Gamblers and newspaper men
are prime vctims for ulcers
because they live lives of pres-
sure, a Cleveland surgeon said
Thursday.
"It's a misconception to think
you have to be an executive to
have an ulcer," said Dr. Stan-
ley Hoerr, chairman of the sur-
gery division at the Cleveland
Clinic Foundation.
"You can be feeble minded
and still get them," he told
the Midsouth Postgraduate
Medical Assembly.
Hoerr said ulcers are caused
by what he termed "angry
acid."
"It's a temperamental thing.
It comes partly from being un-
der pressure and bottling up the
pressures inside.
"When you don't get angry on
the outside, internally you are
producing the acid which spills
into the stomach and produces
ulcers."
Hoerr said one time he sug-
gested that a big-time gamb-
ler change occupations because
of his ulcers.
"I advised him to loaf all the
time. He was so grateful when
he was cured that he sent me
a switchblade knife," the surg-
eon said.
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.

Question Of A Trial In Connection
With Student Arrests In Berkeley
(ACP) Both the prosecution
and defense in the trial of stu-
dents arrested in connection
with the Free Speech Movement
(FSM) sit-in at the Univer-
sity of California, Berkeley,
have asked for permission to try
only a fraction of the cases,
with the verdict to apply to
all the arrested students, re-
ports the Daily Californian.
This information came from
Robert Treuhaft, a defendant
and an FSM defens attorney.
Malcolm Burnstein, another de-
fense attorney, said he believes
the prosecution will also ask
the court permission to try the
cases without a jury.
David Dutton, assistant to the
Alameda County district at-
torney, called both of these at-
tempts a "breach of ethics."
The 814 students were charg-
ed with unlawful assembly,
failure to disperse, and in some
cases, resisting arrest in the
Dec. 3Sproul Hall sit-in.
Treuhaft said the request to
try only some of these stud-
ents was made "in the hope it
(the case) would be disposed
of in one trial." He also said
a verdict of guilty in a case
tried only by a judge would be
grounds of appeal to a higher
court on the basis of U. S. Con-
stitutional guarantees.
The statutes don't apply be-

German Professor Huber
Interested In Travel
by Candy Hodges
The soft-spoken Mrs. Angel-
ika Huber makes people realize
that German is not the guttu-
ral language it is commonly as-
sumed to be.
As a first year instructor
in the German department, Mrs.
Huber is well qualified. She was
born in Berlin and spent her
childhood in Austria.
Her first trip to the United
States was at the age of twel-
ve. She returned to Austria for
a short duration and then im-
migrated to the United States
with her parents in 1953.
Mrs. Huber attended high
school in New Orleans, New
York, and Atlanta. She finished
here.
She graduated from Emory
with a B. A. in French and will
soon receive her M. A. in Com-
parative Literature from that
institution.
Commenting on her travels
about Europe, Mrs. Huber says
she is continually impressed
with the beautiful natural coun-
tryside of Austria.
' She sees America as a coun-
try with open, enthusiastic cit-
izen.:/- Her future plans in-
clude a trip back to Austria

The young instructor is of-
ten mistaken for a student at
Agnes Scott. She finds Scotties
interesting and eager to Soar*.
Her interests include read-
ing, swimming, and listening to

ing to play the guitar.

burnstein said the defense
will base its case on two ma-
jor grounds:
Hie statutes in question are
invalid per se because they
are vague and run counter to
the First Amendment.
Treuhaft said 53 defendants
have pleaded no contest because
of "special circumstances."
He speculated that they would
receive the same sentence as
those pleading not guilty. Dut-
ton said it might be a month
before the case comes up for
trial.
These developments came
about the same time the Emer-
gency Executive Committee of

that the academic functions of
the University have "resumed
their proper place" since the

The committee, formed
during the height of the cris-

report called political advocacy
one of the "key causes" of the
controversy and cited it as "one

ectually active campus."

Holy Week Chapels--
Valid Worship Services
Christian Association should be commended for their
fine chapels during Holy Week.
It is significant that these chapels were representative of differ-
ent types of religion. The services ranged in form from a Litur-
gy of the Church of South India to a Liturgy of the French Hugenot
Church, and in time from a second century worship service to
a contemporary one.
Also significant is the fact that the purpose of these chapels
was not for instruction or entertainment. Instead, these chapels
were held purely as religious services.
While there were a few instances in which the chapel services
seemed more a period of instruction than worship, in most cases
the services were conducted in a religious manner.
This purpose was greatly aided by the printed programs con-
taining the order of the service which members of Christian
Association distributed at the beginning of each service. These
programs allowed the worshipers to participate in the service
instead of merely observing it.
These religious programs during Hoyly Week are an innova-
tion this year. At this season of the year when religion has
such an important meaning to many people, it is good that some
organization at Agnes Scott has provided a means for worship
here on campus.
In The New Catalogue:
Criticism On Both Sides
The much-anticipated catalogue is out and the plans for aca-*
demic 1965-66 are before us. Many changes are minor and,
in view of the Curriculum Committee's extensive study, un-
questioned. Others raise criticism on both sides.
Diversifications within one level are good, such as the changes
in the freshman math course and the addition of Spanish 103.
Welcomed enthusiastically are the academic additions: a ma-
jor in Dramatic Art and the expansion of that department;
history courses on England ' under the Tudors and Stuarts
and on the New South; the comprehensive World Religions cour-
ses in the Bible Department; the upper level introductory study
in music; philosophy's Existentialism.
Somewhat questionable are some of the procedural changes,
such as the elevation to the 300 level of all advanced Bible
courses. While we recognize the possibility of exception, we
find it strange that a Bible major may take the basic course
her freshman year but not continue her study until she is a
junior.
The course in existentialism is an excellent addition, but its
time conflict with other courses in the department may cut its
value. This brings us to another problem for the consideration
of the committee, the general question of conflicting hours. It
cannot be necessary to teach every course at 9:30.
This time problem might be somewhat alleviated by a change
we had suspected would be brought about this year by such situa-
tions as a 60-member Chaucer class the splitting of some up-
per level courses.
The course changes may not be as many or as meaty as some
had expected, but generally the changes can be called improve-
ments, major steps in academic advance.

Emmer Deplores
Student Apathy
Toward Arts
Dear Editor:
We hear a great deal of talk
on campus about the arts and
participation in them. Yet when
performing art comes to At-
lanta we are often very slow to
take advantage of it.
On April 15, the Romeros,
considered to be a very fine
group of classical Spanish guit-
arists were here. I was unable
to find anyone but myself signed
out in the Dean's Office to go.
This meant in effect that
I was unable to go also.
I realize homework often con-
sumes a large portion of peo-
ple's time, but I hope we did
not come to a school located
in a great metropolitan area
to sit on campus for four years.
What happened to the desire
to go out to hear good music?

Young Democrats Organize
Student Support For Cornelius
THE PROFILE
April 21, 1965

Student support for the cam-
paign of Dr. William Cornel-
ius is being organized through
the Young Democrats.
Dr. Cornelius is a candidate
for Post 1, District 119 in the
special election of the newly
reapportioned Georgia House of
Representatives.
Dr 0 William Cornelius
Student leaders in the drive
are Linda Lou Colvard, Linda
Garrett, and Susan Landrum.
Realizing that Dr. Cornelius has
much student support from
those who do not identify with
the Young Democrats, they have
opened all student efforts in his
behalf to these friends and sup-
porters.
Dr. Cornelius is opposed by
Mrs. Abel in the Democratic
primary on May 5, and by Re-
publican Jack Ted Bean in the
June 16 election.
Young Democrats have al-
ready begun their efforts with
a car-wash April 9. Thirty-
five cars were washed for $1
each. Last night they conduct-
ed a doughnut sale following the
installation service.

Arms And The Man
Shavian Impact
Biting Fun
By Malie Bruton
"The action takes place in
Bulgaria around the turn of
the century. The Balkans are a
fairyland of beautiful princ-
esses, gallant and heroic sol-
diers and colorful peasants."
One can enter the scene of
this action at the Pocket Thea-
tre and, in fact, meet there a
princess (if a bit nouveau), gal-
lant soldiers (the regular kind
and the chocolate-creme type)
and peasants (the kind who
marry the lord of the manor),
all in George Bernard Shaw's
Arms and the Man.
This very good production of a
delightful play is witty, fast-
paced, and biting. Shaw gets
across his ideas with per-
haps as much fun and as little
lecturing as he ever did.
The actlor begins with the
announcement of the glorious
news glorious, that is, to
Raina Petkoff that the Serbs
have been completely vanquish-
ed by the brilliance and bra-
very of the Bulgarian soldiers,
and especially that of Raina's
fiance, Sergius, the hero of
the day.
Chocolates
Her joy is suddenly inter-
rupted by the appearance of an
officer in the Serbian army who
has climbed up the drainpipe and
into her window getting away
from the gunfire below and
looking for some chocolate-
cremes, which he much pre-
fers to fighting.
He gets his chocolates and
ridicules the victorious charge
led by the bold Sergius, but is
nonetheless helped to escape
from the -Bulgarians by Raina
and her mother.
Romance
The fun of the comedy is
kept at a high pitch as the
cowardly Mercenary returns to
show the victors how to manage
their army, and he and Raina's
maid Louka lead the "prin-
cess' ' and her gallant soldier
to the belief that the "higher
type of love" which they share
might not be quite as much fun
as another type.
The performances are all ex-
cellent, especially those of
Martin Sharter as the charm-
ing chocolate- creme soldier
and Jonathan Phelps as the (al-
most) ever-gallant soldier and
noble lover Sergius. Doris Buc-
her (daughter of our Mr. Buch-
er) as a beautifully high-soul-
ed Raina, and Gloria Maloof
and David Warfield are quite
good as the extremely new Bul-
garian aristocracy.
Arrvs and the Man is a play
well worth seeing, and this
delightful production does it
full justice.

Dr. Cornelius observes that
the "support of Agnes Scott
students is a valuable contri-
bution to starting off the new
legislature with constructive
leadership from our country.
This demonstrates the aware-
ness of Agnes Scott students of
the opportunities available to
them in public life.
"I am gratified at the en-
thusiastic student support that
I have received thus far, and
will appreciate all further ef-
forts on my behalf."
Dr. Cornelius offers pro-
gressive leadership and ad-
vocates a public defender
system for the courts and a
hospital for south and west De-
Kalb. He is a recognized au-
thority on constitutional law
and as an advisor, has spoken
to the state legislature concern-
ing legal points.

THE PROFILE
Blackfriars Present
"Major Barbara"
Centorbe Chosen Mademoiselle Issue Editoi
By Justice Waldrop
"Away, away, with rum, by
gum. . . the song of the Sal-
varion Army," and the echoes of
the BIG BASS Drum irom the
props of Major Barbara, are
resounding all over campus.
Rehearsals for the Friday and
Saturday night presentations of
George Bernard Shaw's spoof of
the Salvation Army have created
excitment (and some minor cha-
os) themselves:
Inhabitants of Rebecca dorm
have learned to study throueh
Malie Bruton's (in her Major
Barbara m\e\ moaning over the
i soul of her "munition making,
capitalist father Andrew Under-
shaft," and through the boom-
ing of a drum.
Following on the heels of two
Shaw hits in Atlanta, Arms and
the Man and The Mlin onalr.es s".
Agness Scott Blackfriars will
present Ma jor Barbara in Gain-
es at 8:00 on Friday night and
Saturday nights April 23 and 24,
after eight weeks of rehearsal.
Reserved tickets cost $1.00
reservations maybe made by
calling JA 5-4585. Tickets sold
at the door will be $1.25.
A student art exhibition plus
a painting by Mr. Warren await
playgoers in the lobby; Sharon
Ross is directing this art show.
Anyone who has scavanger
hunted for a Salvation Army
bonnet or a big bass drum can
appreciate some of the difficul-
ties encountered.
Since the play spoofs the S. A.,
costumes and props weren't so
easily acquired. To design the
bonnet, they leafed through old
issues of War Cry (the official
S. A. organ), only to find a do-
zen versions.
The real problem was locat-
ing a big bass drum: Malie Bru-
ton's search included music
stores, instrument rentals,
even extended to local high
school bands, but no big bass
drum. "Salvation" camefrom
an alumna whose father is a
colonel in the S. A.
The sets should be outstand-
ing: Bill Mayton, who has crea-
ted sets for the Academy Thea-
tre and Theatre Atlanta, is the
designer and has worked close-
ly with Bunny Foster and Mary
Gunnison on them.

dance, primarily because the
play promises to offer a well-
done production of an excellent
Shaw play, and because she re-
cognizes Blackfriar's need of
student body support.
Although it is rare for col-
lege dramatics groups to be
self supporting, Blackfriars'
income is entirely from the pro-
ceeds of the play. Being the
only large group on campus that
receives no funds from the acti-
vities' budget, Blackfriars de-
pends on student support.
Besides the big bass drum
episodes, the preparation for
the production has run the
gamut from diligent long hours
to the not-so secret backstage
romance.
While Alice Airth, stage man-
ager, and crew havepractically
learned the dialogues from con-
stant prompting, Angela Saad
has learned to knit while not
rehearsing, and Miss Winter,
dealing with as many men as
Scotties, has learned to pro-
nounce as precious "valuable
m ale minutes."
The production promises
to be unforgettable: so, if you
haven't got a big bass drum a
wash tub will do and if you
havent' got a wash tub. . . .

Cathe, along with fellow edi-
tors, will spend June in New
York putting out the August
issue, learning about publish-
ing, and generally enjoying the
New York atmosphere.
Cathe decided to enter the
contest when she saw the ad-
vertisement on the bulletin
board and like the picture on
the poster.
Mr. Warren further stimu-
lated her interest when he show-
ed the art major a portfolio
by the last Agnes Scott student
to win a guest editorship.
The prospect of a summer in
New York is the result of
a fall and winter quarter of
hard work. Cathe's first as-
signment was a numerous
guidebook for college fresh-
men and her second was a
"Little Saint Francis: How to
Be Kind to Animals" child-
ren's book.
In between assignments, Cathe
received long distance calls
from the college editors of
Mademoiselle from New York.
Virginia Weissinger, college
competitons editor, visited her
on a trip to the South, to meet
the top contenders.
"She was a walking ad for
the magazine," quipped Cathe.
"None of her clothes matched.
She wore a figured ascot, a
white blouse with a tremen-
dous pointed fly-away collar,
a pink sweater vest, a 'pink
and ink' jacked, a short navy
walking skirt, and about ten
chains I couldn't figure out
where they came from. I loved
it'."
Cathe's biggest problem in
New York as she sees it will
be communication, "The edi-
tors told me that when they
called the first time, they laugh-
so hard over my accent they
could hardly talk to the next
girl they called on the phone."
But Cathe takes the whole
matter rather philosophically;
"Virginia Weissinger told me
that after my first assignment
they thought that I would be
chubby (she meant fat in her
tactful way) with short curly
hair, and sarcastic and quiet.
"After the second assignment
they thought I would be rowdy.
I wonder if that means any-
thing?"
The excitement of getting
ready for her live interview
with Miss Weiss ingerwas shar-
ed by everyone in Alexander
Cottage.
"I tried on everything in the
cottage and felt like a clothes
tree," stated Cathe. "When I
was ready to leave, I didn't
recognize myself in the mirror
because none of the clothes
were mine!"
She expects an entirely dif-
ferent environment in New
York. "I guess all the men will
wear black felt 'fruit-boots'
with stacked heels instead of
Rah-rahs at the parties and
will talk about all the prom-
ising young artists," laughed
Cathe.
"I've never been outside of
Georgia except for an enlight-
ening trip home with my room-
mate to Candor, N.C., city of
500. Do you think that will
help my cosmopolitan image?"
Cathe is an art major. "I
love to study," she added doubt-
fully.
Her main preoccupations as
she describes them are "rid-
ing, dating, and talking."
French is her big frustration
at Agnes Scott. "My vowels
are not the best," she explain-
ed.
She has been a member of
both social council and ath-
letic council.
"As I see it, " she con-
cluded, "Mademoiselle will
have two major problems with
me: toning down my hair and
my three rows of teeth in the
pictures."
And somewhat more optimis-
tically, "I wouldn't mind find-
ing a rich husband in New York
if he were bigger than me."

"They wanted a painting that
captured the spirit of Laurie
Bane, M explained Mr. Warren,
who was commissioned by the
sophomore class to do a paint-
ing which is to be presented
to the school on May 5 in
memory of Laurie Bane (*67).
The o.iinting, which is not a
portr but a floral still-life

At fii recalled Mr. War-
ren, "I ought they wanted
a portra. of Laurie from a
photograph. | don't like to do
that."
But Laurie's classmates had
discussed the idea with Dr. Als-
ton and among themselves. They
wanted a unique memorial that
expressed symbolically the loss
they felt for their friend and
the class' spirit chairman.
Several sophomores ap-
proached Mr. Warren soon af-
ter Christmas about the pic-
ture. Since he had not known
Laurie he was reluctant un-
til several classmates talked
with him about her.
"I understand that she was a
happy, gay, vivacious person,"
said Mr. Warren. From this un-
derstanding, he was free to de-
cide that a floral theme might
be appropriate.
"I like to do flowers that
have more content than just a
picture of flowers," Mr. War-
ren added. It is a difficult task
to do such a commissioned job,
to capture the essence of a per-
son without being overly drama-
tic. It's the kind of picture, he
concluded that lets people "get
out of it what they can and will."
Spelman Exchangers Value Relationships
Last Thursday at a chapel-time Hub discussion, participants
in the Spelman exchange presented their respective views, re-
actions and experiences.
Georgia Gillis began by pointing out facts which led to the
exchange, such as Spelman's proximity and similarity to Scott.
Just this year, Spelman has started using College Boards
as a basis for entrance, but will accept non-graduates whom it
feels will benefit more from college than from a sub-standard
high school.
Portia Morrison spoke of the personal relationships she
established and their importance to her. She values her ex-
perience of knowing the students well enough to dislike some as
well as like others.
She found the students "receptive, open and friendly." As
did the others, she enjoyed relaxing in the room, discussing
dates and rules, attempting the Jerk.
The- students were especially interested in academics and eager
to know what she thought about certain professors whose classes
she visited.
She noted the awareness of some girls in the lack in their
cultural background. One in particular is discouraged that her
courses seem "geared down."
Lucy Scoville's experience was unique in that she stayed in
the French House, a cottage for French students.
Lucy did not feel out of place because everything was "so
easy," nothing was forced. The race problem was not discussed
as such, but came up only in connection with something else.
To Barbara Dowd also, the individuals she met were most
important. Any strangeness she felt as first was the "strange-
ness of any new situation," anyone's wanting to be accepted.
She also was glad the "the conversation didn't center on race."
She found common bonds with the students in their similar por-
blems, plans, hopes.
She feels that she has begun building friendships, but the
"real value lies in the follow-up."
Georgia pointed out the value in the uniqueness of the ex-
change. All the schools in the system have semestei exchanges
with Northern schools, but this was the first such pr ^gram in-
volving Southern students.
She found that often the other exchanges were unsuccessful
because the Northern students were more interested in "get-
ting into The Movement" than in individuals.
"Our coming across the city was quite different," she said.
Hope for more exchanges was voiced and Mrs. Pepperdene,
a member of the Exchange Committee, spoke for most, wishing
that the Spelman exchange can be continued for "it is this sort
of thing that will mean most to those of us who will live in the
South most of our lives."

Tech Advances
Sophomore John Gill has been named managing editor of the
Technique by the Tech publications board, composed of editors,
business managers, and faculty advisors of all school publica-
tions. He is the first Negro to hold a major campus activity posi-
tion.
A chemistry major from Atlanta, John has a 3.9 average and
hopes to study for a master's degree, possibly a Ph. D. in math.
He has been working in journalism for four years. Immediat-
ely after entering Tech last year he joined the Technique staff
and has served as copy editior since November, 1964. He has par-
ticipated in the band, glee club, Newman Club, ROTC band, Ame-
rican Chemical Society, and Phi Eta Sigma.
We believe in this appointment. We commend the publications
board for its selection; it has not let any other consideration
interfere with the choice of an obviously well-qualified indivi-
dual.
COMMUNIST CHINESE
AT THE UN?
(by Bob Cory, Quaker United Nations Program)
If the Peking government should win its claim to China's
seat at the UN, it could send to New York a major "Permanent
Mission" of some 50 or more diplomats. The impact of China
as a major power would effect not only the operation of the
General Assembly and the Security Council, but also the many
formal and informal caucuses, subcommittees, and operating
units in the UN system. The People's Republic would automatically
become a party to the Statute of the International Court of Justice;
it would be offered a seat at the 18th Geneva Disarmament
Conference. China would have many debating platforms from which
to putforwardits view of issues such as Formosa, Korea, Vietnam,
and Tibet. It would also become engaged in a network of communi-
cation and in a broadly defined set of international responsi-
bilities.
In the UN, China would engage in three dialogues: with the
Soviet Union, with the Afro-Asian Group and with the U.S.A.
The dialogue within the Soviet voting bloc might be the most
significant, for, should attempts at a common communist policy
fail, the UN could become the arena for bitter Sino-Soviet rivalry.
Communist China would probably be, as Nationalist China
has not been, a member of the Afro-Asian consultative group
at the UN. In its drive for leadership of the developing nations,
it might well find itself in rivalry with India and the United Arab
Republic.
If accepted as the claimant to the Chinese Seat at the UN,,
the People's Republic would probably be less a recipient than
a giver of UN aid. (To receive assistance from UN field per-
sonnel, China would have to guarantee UN personnel freedom
of operation.) But China could benefit from the many UN spon-
sored technical conferences and could, in specialized fields,
take advantage of UN fellowships for training in universities
abroad.
The confrontation with the U.S.A. would not only be on the formal
diplomatic level. Chinese diplomats would be reporting to Peking
their impressions of America; they would be the object of probing
by U.S. reporters. In the event of a crisis, they could communi-
cate informally with U.S. officials, perhaps through the Secre-
tary-General,
In its formal confrontation with the U.S., the People's Republic
of China might, at least initially, bitterly contest U.S. strategy
in East Asia and seek allies in trying to force a U.S. military
withdrawal from the perimeter of China. Ultimately, there could
be softening of the rigid positions on both sides the develop-
ment of a "coexistance" policy.
Communist China's participation in the councils of the world
might test not only the patience but also the ingenutiy of A-
mericans; to find ways of living at peace with 700 million people,
neighbors on our shrinking globe.

Concern Over
Lack Of Mental
Stimulation
Dear Editor,
This letter was partly inspir-
ed by the A CP article from
Emory University entitled
"Should Students Rate Teach-
ers?" which appeared in the
April 14 issue of The Pro-
file.
However, my concern is with
an unfortunate situation which is
discussed quite often but is very
seldom improved the lack of
intellectual stimulation at Ag-
nes Scott.
The decision to write this
letter to the editor has been
inspired by a number of things
-a little attended lecture,
an interesting chapel which goes
unnoticed, a professor's dull
lecture, a potential class debate
which fails because too few
students either know enough or
care enough to express their
opinions, the fifth repetition of
everyone's plans for Saturday
night, the transfer to another
college of a valuable, but dis-
appointed, intellect.
Perhaps, there would be less
griping over the rules, the din-
ing hall, the infirmary, etc.,
if these elements of campus
life were overshadowed by a
truly dynamic intellectualism.
Surely, some professors are
tired of looking at blank faces
and some students are weary
of having their opinions pass-
ed over.
Of course, there are excep-
tions to this rather sad pic-
ture and some attempts to im-
prove the situation.
But there are enough con-
cerned students and, I hope,
faculty to warrant an effort
on the part of student govern-
ment and the faculty to shape
a vital campus interest in build-
ing an open, intellectual atmo-
sphere which will make Agnes
Scott not merely good, but great.
Sincerely,
Claire Allen

Demonstration
against US War
in Asia Praised
Mr. Dudley addresses his let-
ter to the Editor of the Atlanta
Constitution. He also sent a
copy of his letter to the PRO-
FILE.
Dear Sir:
1 respect more than 90 per
cent of editor Mr. Eugene Pat-
terson's opinions but his con-
demnation of some 15,000 Ame-
rican youth for demonstrating in
Washington on Easter Sunday
against American militarism in
Viet Nam, in his Atlanta Con-
stitution editorial of April 19,
1965, should be answered by
someone.
We have a small minority in
America who are coerced by
the thoughtless majority
through unprincipled legisla-
tion called military conscrip-
tion to bear the brunt of suf-
fering from American militar-
sim.
This small minority, once
they have beenconscripted into
American military forces, if I
remember correctly from my
own military experience, are
forced to submit to rules call-
ed Articles of War which ren-
ders them thereafter subject
to the direst penalties if they
openly oppose the military ac-
tions to which they now have
been compelled to submit.
Thus the youth of America
can not effectively protest Ame-
rican militarism once they have
been forcibly herded into the
military.
This is about as rank, vici-
ous and contemptible an injus-
tice as I can conceive of.
The armaments manufactur-
ers in America who make
hundreds of millions of dollars
from American militarism have
no need for protest marches.
They have their full time paid
year round lobbyists to pro-
mote American militarism.
The upper echelons of the
huge military organizations of
every nation always are exert-
mnae
ing themselves to the utmost to
promote the militarism thatwill
produce their professional
advancement.
But these American youth, the '
helpless grist of war, these
poor and unfinanced and unre-
presented by hundreds of pro-
fessional lobbyists American
youth who will be ground up
into human ashes in an Asian
war as ruthlessly as a butch-
er grinds up hamburg some
Americans think should be up-
braided for expressing their
legitimate self-interest against
war, for denouncing outright the
viciousness of war.
I think that the truth in Viet
Nam is that American armam-
ents have become so huge, and
the moneyed interests in pro-
moting these armaments have
become so powerful, that
American militarism in Viet
Nam, under its veneer of self-
justifying sophistry, is but an
expression of the immense poli-
tical power of a small minority
of enormously rich Americans
who profit from American mili-
tarism.
For their humanity, for their
intelligent self-interest, for
their conscientious scruples
and for their efforts to bring
America to the light of reason
of withdrawing from an unjust
and unprovoked Asian war the
some 15,000 American youth
who demonstrated in Washing-
ton on Easter Sunday against
American youth who demon- :-
stratedin Washington on Easter
Sunday against American mili-
tary aggression in Viet Nam
should be honored and cherish-
ed by all thinking Americans.
Yours very truly,
Derwood M. Dudley

Alumnae President
Combines Two Roles
Southern Festival
Writers Visit Faulkner Home, Win Literary Honors
Mary Beth Little Weston '48,
president of the Agnes Scott
College Alumnae Association is
an example of one who success-
fully i combines the roles
of hoirfemaker and career wo-
man. Mrs. Weston stated in a
recent interview that "Nowa-
days it is very easy and ex-
traodinarily satisfying to have
a home and husband and a pro-
fession."
She advises Agnes Scott stu-
dents to continue their studies
in graduate school. She also ur-
ges them to make the most of
their first job and try to se-
cure a job that really inter-
ests them.
Mrs. Weston is very inter-
ested in everything that takes
place on campus. She listed
the close relationships that
students have with professors
and the pursuit of excellence
as two things that had meant
much to her during her four
years at Agnes Scott.
Mrs. Weston majored in Eng-
lish but also took a large
number of courses in music
and German. She has a great
interest in languages and would
like to see the institution of
more language tables and a
language wing in one of the dor-
mitories.
Students were not allowed to
smoke when Mrs. Weston at-
tended Agnes Scott. In addition,
Agnes Scott held its first dance
on campus during this time.
"Life Magazine" covered the
event.
Mrs. Weston was Agnes
Scott's first guest editor to
"Mademoiselle Magazine."
This job enabled her to move
to other positions in the field
of publications. She is currently
Boards Make
Plans For 65-66
At Cabin Retreat
Tomorrow night at 5:00, the
1965-66 boards will have a re-
treat at the cabin to make plans
for the coming year.
Supper will be served by Mor-
tar Board to members of Rep
Council, Judicial Council, Ath-
letic Association, Christian As-
sociation, Social Council and
the new Mortar Board.
Following a brief opening ad-
dress by Debbie Rosen on her
vision for Agnes Scott, Dr. Als-
ton will speak to the new
board members.
Each board president will
then tell about her plans for
the year. The theme of each
will be communication between
the students and the boards and
what will be done for the stu-
dents by each board.
Debbie will close the pro-
gram with a talk to the members
of Rep Council. She will empha-
size the importance of commu-
nication between student and
government and also between
Agnes Scott and other schools.
"We want conventions,
sports, anything to get other
schools involved," she says.
"And we always want the stu-
dents to be aware of what is
happening on campus."

Portable Faulkner" In a morn-
ing address.
The dignified,
white-haired Mr. Cowley de-
livered a delightful lecture. He
gave the audience a new insight
into the character of William
Faulkner through their corres-
pondence about the book.
Faulkner's frank, sometimes
fiery, sometimes gentle, let-
ters to Malcolm Cowley ex-
pressed a wide range of temp-
eraments.
Ruth Ford, wife of the actor
Zachary Scott, and a graduate
of 'Ole Miss' was there to speak
about modern drama. Miss Ford
was a close friend ottnerauiK-
ner family. She adapted Wil-
liam Faulkner's novel, Requiem
for a Nun, for the stage and
played the leading role of Tem-
ple Drake.
Saturday morning Miss Ford
told the story of the origin of
the play. Then, with two drama
students from the university,
she gave a reading from the
play.
The Pulitzer Prize winning
novelist and poet, Robert Perm
Warren also attended the festi-
val. Friday afternoon he held a
seminar on poetry and gave an
evening address on the Negro
in the writing of William Faulk-
ner.
Agnes Scott was honored in
the Festival's writing contest.
Katherine Bell won the first
prize for an informal essay.
Bonnie Jo Henderson received
first honorable mentionfor her
short story, "The Bob."

Maybe It Works
Nikita Khrushchev, to a Wes-
tern correspondent while visit-
ing a Moscow art exhibit:
"The world must coexist. No
alternative can be found. Try-
ing to solve controversial ques-
tions with weapons is a prac-
tice that must belong to the past
or we will be thrown in disas-
ter."
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.

THE PROFILE
A.A. Travels For Golf, Swimming
By Ann Teat
The Agnes Scott campus has
shown itself to be very cos-
mopolitan lately with the visits
of Dr. Paul Tournier and Dr.
Klaus Mehnert. Not to be out-
done, the Athletic Association
has been and will be on the
move this month.
On April 24, Kitty Coggin,
Susan Landrum, Joan Kike r and
Kathy Stafford traveled to Mary
Baldwin College to the Virginia
Invitational Golf Tournament
held annually at Mary Baldwin.
Cold and wet weather limited
the play to nine holes.
Winner and runner-up were
Sandra Paine from Duke and
Carol duke from University of
Maryland with 41 and 46 re-
spectively. Last year, Joan Kik-
er received ah award for being
"farthest from the hole."
On May 1, several Dolphin
Club members will go the Uni-
versity of North Carolina to
compete in the Fourth Annual
Extramural S ynchro-
nized Swimming Competition.
Patty Williams, Betsy Bain-
bridge, Laura Morgan, Louise
Fortson and Taffy Mitchell will

how to be silent remains a
child," said Dr. PAUL TO-
URNIER in his chapel talk Ap-

represent Agnes Scott in the
group competition. They will
swim to "St. Louis Blues."
In the duet competion, Louise
and Betsy will perform to "Walk
on the Wildside." Taffy will be
swimming in the solo division.
Her act features a figure eight,
foot first dolphin and a Cata-
lina. Their practices promise
an excellent showing; at Caro-

Interested Students
Form Young
Republican Club
A Young Republicans Club is
being formed by a group of stu-
dents on campus to work for
the Republican candidate in the
forthcoming campaign in De-
Kalb County.
Because there are only two
other politcal groups at Agnes
Scott, the Young Conservatives
and the Young Democrats, this
group feels that the views of
many students on campus are
not represented.
A steering committee which
is working on a constitution and
obtaining a charter has been ap-
pointed, members of the com-
mittee are Betty Derrick, Susan
Johnson, Ann Teat, Cindy Car-
ter and Betty Ann Boyd.
Other plans include a trip to
Calloway Gardens May 1, where
the Georgia State Young Repub-
licans Convention is being held.
Any students who are interest-
ed in attending this convention
should contact one of the mem-
bers on the steering commit-
tee.
"Major 8" Competent,
Not Captivating
Ann Roberts
Can the daughter of the
world's largest munitions mak-
er be happy as a major in the
Salvation Army? Well, as
Blackfriars has pointed out,
the mottoes of the two groups
are the same "Blood and
fire."
The subject was treated fully
in G. B. Shaw's "Major Bar-
bara, "BlackFriars' spring pro-
duction staged last weekend.
The performance was well-
done and completely competent,
excellent in places, but we did
not find the play as totally
"captivating" as other produc-
tions have been.
Malic Bruton was extremely
good as thu warm, personable
Barbara. Sue Roberts likewise
exo lied as the dominating, out-
spoken mother.
Cathi Ford, Blair Louise Ma-
jor and Angla Saad proved that
the freshman class has plenty
of dramatic talent.
Comedienne Nancy Yontzwas
a standout as one of the
"saved." She was joined by
Basil Bateman as Snobby Price,
"the Converted Painter", to
make this pair of West Ham
moochers the best comedy team
in the show.
All of the "outsiders" did
good jobs, including Carl Bain,
Hermann Flaschka, Les Gar-
ber, Denis Payne and especially
Richard Russell, as the "reli-
gion-collecting" professor of
Greek.
Special commendation goes to
Peter Dowell who was forced
to fill in for Stuart Culpepper
as well as play his own part.
Although those who have seen
Culpepper's work regretted his
absence, they found Dowell eq-
ually entertaining in both his
roles.

part of the Office of Economic
Opportunity created by Presi-
dent Johnson to wage the war
against poverty.
Any one who is eighteen years
of age or older and is living in
the United States is eligible to
apply for a position. The period
of service is one year, includ-
ing a four to six weeks tra-
ining program. The training is
directed towards the needs of
the job and location to which
the volunteer is assigned.
The training program stres-
ses supervised field experi-
ence, the application of par-
ticular skiils to the environ-
ments in which the volunteer
works and discussions of the na-
ture and causes of poverty in
these areas.
Volunteers are given allow-
ances to meet necessary living
expenses. The amount varies
depending upon local conditions.
Volunteers do not receive a
salary, but will receive fifty
dollars for each month of ser-
vice, payable upon completion
of service.
Participants in VISTA after
completion of training are plac-
ed among migrants, in mental
hospitals, in clinics for men-
tally retarded children, on In-
dian Reservations and in urban
and rural community action
groups in the small villages
and large metropolitan areas of
our nation..
There are also opportunities
in ''Operation Headstart" for
VISTA volunteers to help the
underprivileged of pre-school
age to become more familiar
with schools and communities
prior to enrollment. Volunteers
working in "Operation Head-
start'* introduce children of the
poor to the opportunities which
a community affords.

THE WAR ON POVERTY:
a message to the Nation's college students.
Inspiring causes have always fired the
imagination of students
Today the United States is committed
to the greatest humanitarian cause m its
history a massive counterattack on the
causes of poverty, which are robbing
35.000.000 Americans of the opportuni
ties most of us are free to pursue be
cause we had the advantage of a decent
start m life. That start has been denied
to one fifth of the nation's people. Thir
teen million of them are children
This is a moment In history for the
fortunate to help the least privileged of
their fellow citizens. You can help this
summer, or for a full year if you choose,
as a volunteer in the War on Poverty
In July and August, 30.000 volunteers
will be needed In their own communities
to assist four and five-year old children
of the poor through Proiect Head Start
Child Development Centers Thousands
more are needed to live and work among
poor families by enlisting in VISTA, the
parks, organize creative play for them,
and help build the security and self
confidence they need to succeed in
school The rewards come when a with
drawn child begins to ask questions or
responds to the affection lor which he
has been starved Without such help,
many of these children would be headed
lor school failure and the poverty cycle
which trapped their parents.
Many young people who aro 18 or
older and can serve for a year enroll for
training in VISTA -both to help others
and to enlarge their own capacities lor
teaching, social work, or careers in so

Last Vocations Discussion
Will Be On Advertising
By Linda Marks
On Thursday, May 6, at 5:00
in Rebekah Recreation Room,
Mrs. William Rhodes, an Agnes
Scott alumna, will lead an in-
formal discussion on her Scott
education and its bearing on her
life in the business world.
Mrs. Rhodes graduated from
ASC in 1938, with a major n
English.
Mrs. Rhodes has worked in
the advertising departments of
Rich's, Davison's, and Allen's,
and she now heads the Jane
Rhodes Advertising Co. in De-
catur. She has won national
acclaim for her outstanding
work in many forms of adver-
tising.
This discussion is the last in
a series on vocations and the
ASC degree, sponsored by
Christian Association. It is
hoped that through these oppor-
tunities tor students to talk with
alumnae who have made their
education meaningful and rele-
vant to the rest of their lives,
through other activities in the
vocational program of C.A.,
and through the work of the
Vocational Guidance office, stu-
dents will be led to consider
their vocations as integral parts
of their lives. In this context
CA hopes, graduation from Scott
will become not a point which
segments a student's life, but
an opportunity to relate all that
has gone before with all that
will come after.

Sophs Unveil Memorial Painting
During convocation today, Day
Morcock President of the Sopho-
more Class, presented a paint-
ing in memory of Laurie Ann
Bane to the school. Doctor Al-
ston accepted on behalf of Agnes
Scott College.
The painting is not a portrait
but a painting done with Laurie
in mind. Mr, Ferdinand Wai>
ren, the artist, did not know
Laurie personally. A commit-
tee of Laurie's friends headed
by Carol Sutherland was ap-
pointed to tell Mr. Warren about
her so that he could arrive at
some idea of her personality.
Mr. Warren expressed Laurie
Ann Bane through a painting; of
flowers. Carol Sutherland, who
explained the subject matter in
chapel, said, 'The use of Flow-
ers is a perfect way to cap-
ture Laurie's personality be-
cause of the way she was and
the way she lived. This subject is
so appropriate to express the
active, vivacious spirit of the
sophomore killed during
"Christmas vacation in an au-
tomobile accident."
The painting was unveiled by
the Secretary-treasurer and the
Vice-President of the Sopho-
more class. unveiling of
Laurie's family attended the memory of
this painting in
Laurie Ann Bane.
MR. WARREN examines his painting, a memorial for Laurie
Bane, which was presented to the school today, May 5. It will
be placed in the Fine Arts Building. (Staff photo by Pat Stringer)

Guest Editorial
Orientation In Retrospect
Dear Editor,
One junior officer, the Orientation Chairman, is doing the bulk of
her work at this time, involving a lot of you with the still-evolving
class of '69.
As that officer last year, I was forever amazed at the number of
people involved, the intricate plans made, and the work done by all
phases of the school just to welcome new students in summer
and fall.
Like any new officer I was absolutely sure there had to be an
easier and more effective way to do my job tho^e retreats, 174
helpers and sponsors, so many THINGS TO DO during that first
weekl It was all awfully complicated.
But then I lived through (and enjoyed) our Orientation program
and compared the programs of several other colleges. As a result,
I gained a new respect for all the "trouble" taken to introduce
new students to every phase of Agnes Scott.
So, instead of suggestions for radical changes, I would like to
leave a firm endorsement for the whole complex processl
When you think that over 300 people become actively involved
at Scott in what is done at some schools by a very select, small
group, you see a new value of organizing our large process into a
worthwhile system.
Every success of the class of '68 makes this perspective even
clearer to me every sophomore helper, every letter, ever clean-
up girl at the Tech picnic, every smile (even a tired one), every
cookie and cup of punch is helpful in the overall process called
orientation.
A lot of you are now a part of this undertaking. Please don't
minimize your importance just because of the large number of
people and plans involved! You are needed and are an invaluable
asset, no matter what your job. And I hope youll enjoy it.
Sincerely,
Jo Patterson
Services Have Value
The PROFILE subscribes to two college news services, the
Associated Collegiate Press (ACP) and the College Press Ser-
vice (CPS). These two press services give vital and inter-
esting news from Colleges and universities other than our own.
Because tins is true, we should not ignore an article simply be-
cause it has the press service initials before it. These articles
have been selected as ones in which Agnes Scott students have a
special interest. They can be valuable to the student body if
only we stop to read them. Please do.
Support Snack Ba
r
The snack bar in the lower dining hall has been a welcome addi-
tion to our campus this year. During the evening hours it provides
a relaxed, informal atmosphere for study breaks and gab fests.
Also, it is inexpensive and convenient, especially for campused
Scotties.
Yet, there has been a disturbing lack of support for the snack bar
at Bight* Because of our apathy we are now in danger of losing this
privilege winch will be only too dear to us when it is gone.
So, if we really want a snack bar, let's support ltl

JFK: Students' View,
Retrospect On Dallas
Austin, Tex. (CPS) While
the nation was still stunned
over the assassination of John
F. Kennedy, two Texas phy-
chologists, Dr. S. Thomas
Friedman and Dr. John Pierce-
Jones, began an examination of
the attitudes and beliefs invol-
ved in student views of the as-
sasination.
"In addition to furthering
knowledge in the field of psy-
chological research, we wanted
to try to help develop some un-
derstanding of the burden of
tragedy," Friedman and
Pierce-Jones agreed.
The project indicated that
patterned differences in student
attitudes were directly related
to such factors as the universi-
ty attended, geographic region,
sex , family income level, re-
ligious affiliation, preference,
and self-styled liberalism or
conservatism.
The recently compiled re-
sults of the project indicated
that none of the student groups
questioned felt Texas should be
assigned the sole responsibility
for the assassination. **Texans
sampled ascribed guilt to, or
denied guilt of, Texas to about
the same extent as did non-
Texan students," said Pierce-
Jones.
Collective responsibility was
felt equally by all groups re-
gardless of their region, home
or university; but the tests in-
dicated that women, Democrats,
and self-styled liberals show-
ed a stronger belief in collec-
tive responsibility than other
university students.
Fatalistic determination was
also examined by the survey.
Women and Texans expressed
greater acceptance of the fatal-
istic view than did men or non-
Texans. Non-Texans, however,
along with self-styled liberals
and women, registered less
criticism of police efficiency
than other groups.
Less doubt or skepticism con-
cerning the assassination was
indicated by men, Texans, Jews,
Democrats, and individuals in
the high income bracket than by
their counterparts.
In exploring evaluations of
lawlessness in society, the
study uncovered wide differen-
ces of opinion. Women, con-
servatives, Jews, political in-
dependents, Democrats, and
people from the low income
bracket saw more lawlessness
in society than their opposite
numbers.
With the final tabulation of
the results of the 1963-64 pro-
ject, a new study has begun this
year to determine the shifts in
attitude toward assassination
within the one-year period.
The results of the study will
be published by Stanford Uni-
versity Press as a chapter in the
book, 'The Kennedy Assassi-
nation and American Public So-
cial Communication Crisis."
CA Books Excellent
Christian Association has chosen two books for the incoming
freshmen to read in connection witfi Intellectual Orientation next
fall. They are Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning and John
Knowle s ' A Separate Peace .
We commend C. A. for a discerning choice, and a very readable
choice.
And we commend C. A. for filling an important gap in freshman
orientation. By providing both a fiction selection and a no n- fiction
selection, they have allowed for an orientation toward two very dif-
ferent types of literary criticism.
There are very real differences between the papers freshmen
will write on a book like Frankl's and on one like A Separate Peace .
A single selection for Intellectual Orientation would inevitably
leave the freshmen completely out in the cold about Scott's gen-
eral procedure for criticizing the other type of literature.
We feel it is worth the extra effort on all our parts to read two
books instead of one. And we feel it will prove invaluable to the
Class of 1969.
Student Protests

Dear Editor
Last week's PROFILE pub-
lished a letter from Mr. Der-
wood Dudley who protested Eu-
gene Patterson's condemnation
of the 15,000 college students
who demonstrated on Easter
Sunday against "American mil-
itarism" m Viet Nam.
I agree that students should
have a right to express their
own opinions. But these should
be opinions based on facts, not
emotions.
It is natural that everyone in
our country will not agree on
any stand that the government
takes, much less on so contro-
versial an issue as the Viet Nam
situation. Because tins is a
democracy, we have the right to
protect this position of die gov-
ernment. However, this right
means not only free dom, but al-
so iv sponsibility.
Perhaps a few of the 15,000
students who marched in Wash-
ington are experts on foreign
affairs. However, how many of
these students who were pro-
testing the Americans' pres-
ence in South Viet Nam can ex-
plain the fact that one million
people have fled from North
Viet Nam since the Commun-
ists took over?
If they can explain away tins
fact then perhaps they are en-
titled to their opinion.
John Chamblerlain's editor-
ial, which is posted in the mail
room, asks how the American
youth can "assume they are en-
titled to sway public opinion"
b< fore they have had an oppor-
tunity to travel and make a com-
parative study of governments.
It is good that American stu-
dents are interested enough in
our government to participate.
However, if the American stu-
dents learn to study first, the
opinions formed will have more
worth not only for the students,
but also for the public.

Hi
Opera Week In Atlanta
By Felicia Guest
The Met is in Atlanta for the
42nd time 0 It isn't hard to tell:
the Monday night crowd in the
lobby of the Fox Theater smell-
ed like mothballs; Buckhead is
spruced up for club and private
parties, for both before and af-
ter the performances; the Stage
Door Lounge is making a for-
tune; and Scott opera buffs are
wearing their hair rolled up to
dinner every night.
Menotti's "The Last Savage,"
the Opening Night opera, prov-
ed once again that Atlantans
(and Scotties) will pack the Fox
to see and hear anything the Met
company chooses to perform:
Even if it happens to be the
story of a rich American girl
who brings a Himalayan Abom-
inable Snowman back to her Chi-
cago penthouse.
Last night a striking produc-
tion of Saint-Saens' 1 'Samson et
Dalila" brought Giulietta Si-
mionate and tenor Dimiter
Uzunov to the stage in the title
roles of this typically French
operatic version of a Biblical
tale.
High drama and deep passion
were the pervasive themes.
Tonight
Tonight opera-goers will hear
Verdi's popular "Rigoletto,"
the tragic story of a hunch-
backed jester's struggle against
a deadly curse.
Richard Tucker sings the col-
orful Duke of Mantua. His re-
sounding tenor is the perfect
vehicle for the famous arias,
"Questo o Quella" and "La
Donne e Mobile."
Gentle, lyrical Gianna d'An-
gelo sings Gilda, the daughter
of Rigoletto. Her "CaraNome"
should be precise, well-temp-
ered, and moving.
Anselmo Colzani sings Rigo-
letto, and Jan Behr conducts
the Metropolitan orchestra.
Tomorrow night's perform-
ance will be Puccini's sumptu-
ous oriental drama, "Turan-
dot," the most famous quiz
show in opera. It is the story
j>t a fiery princess who is court-
ed by suitors who must answer
her riddles or die.
Puccini died before "Turan-
dot" was completed, but the
production as a whole is magni-

ficent, nonetheless.
Franco Corelli as Calaf and
Lucine Amara as Liu should be
superb. Mr. Corelli is one of
the finest tenors around, and is
a highly convincing actor.
Miss Amara is a perfect Liu,
a fragile woman grown strong
with love. The beauty of her
voice is hard to pinpoint. It
is pure, gentle, technically per-
fect, and clear. She is exqui-
site.
Otello
Verdi and librettist Boito con-
verted Shakespeare's "Othello"
into an opera which is a mas-
terpiece, both musically and
dramatically.
"Otello"' is the Friday
night opera. The cast is un-
beatable. Jon Vickers sings
<Otello', Renata Tebaldi sings
Desdomona, and Robert Merrill
sings "honest" Iago. Under
Fausto Cleva's experienced ba-
ton, opera goers can expect the
matchless beauty of Grand Ope-
ra at its best.
The Saturday matinee isn't
really a matinee opera at all,
but Atlantans aren's complain-
ing. Wagner's "Der Flie-
gende Hollander," the eerie
story of a ghost ship, is sure to
be a success.
Ernst Wiemann is Daland,
Leonie Rysanek is Senta, and
George London is the Dutch-
man. Joseph Rosenstock will
conduct.
The Met closes Atlanta's 1965
season with a Puccini favorite,
"Madama Butterfly." Dorothy
Kirsten sings Cio-Cio-San,
Barry Morell sings Pinkerton,
and Clifford Harvuot sings
Sharpless. George Schick will
conduct.
Yoshio Aoyana's production
conveys the sad beauty that this
oriental tragedy evokes.
Many things contribute to the
excitement of Opera Week; long
lines of limosines, a glimpse

of Mr. Bing, thundering ova-
tions, that first opening of the
Fox's version of the famous
Gold Curtain.
But most of all, the excite-
ment lies in the magic of opera-
tic music, the highest expres-
sive instrument.
We in Atlanta are most for-
tunate to have the Met here, and
there are no grounds for com-
plaining that we don't have
the unforgettable lineup of in-
ternational stars we had last
year. The Met's second string
is superb too.
When Mr. Bing was planning
the new Lincoln Center opera
house, he sent acoustical en-
gineers to Atlanta to study the
wonderful acoustics at the Fox.
We have a good "Opera House**,
and that Moorish architecture
will finally make sense at the
Friday night performance of
"Otello."
High Spot
It would be difficult to pick
the high spot of 1965 Opera
Week. There is excitement in
seeing something as modern
as "The Last Savage," as
monumental and powerful as
"The Flying Dutchman", or as
moving as "Madama Butter-
fly-"
But perhaps it is "Otello"
that most closely approximates
what Grand Opera ideally is.
"Otello" expresses "what
can't be said, but must be com-
municated," as Victor Hugo
puts it.
Music and theatre combine,
and somehow the whole is much
much greater than the isum- of
its parts.
But this magic catalyst, what-
ever it is, could be present at
any performance, in any opera.
And the greatest excitement of
Opera Week is knowing that
perhaps this time we will hear
that once in a lifetime miracle;
the perfect performance.

Opera Week Previewed By McDowell
The Metropolitan Opera As-
sociation, under the management
of Rudolf Bing, is in Atlanta
May 3 through May 8 to present
seven outstanding operas for the
city's annual opera week.
Mr. McDowell, head of the
music department at Scott, gave
a brief preview of the different
operas in chapel Friday, April
30. He gave particular atten-
tion to 'The Last Savage" by
Gian Carlo Menotti, for the lib-
retto for this opera has not yet
been published because of the
relative newness of the work.
Students would not have had easy
access to it befo re seeingit pre-
sented.
Mr. Menotti is a contempor-
ary composer, probably in his
late forties or early fifties.
'The Last Savage" was first
presented by the Met in Paris
in 1964, but this is the first time
it has come to Atlanta.
These presentations are un-
der the auspices of the Atlanta
Music Festival Association and
in cooperation with the Atlanta
Junior League.
The seven productions will be
played at the Fox Theatre.
The prices for tickets to the
operas are as follows.
Orchestra.$13.00, $10.75, $8.25
Loge $13.00, $10.75

Alumnae Show Enthusiasm
For The Scott Of Today
During their annual Alumnae
Luncheon on April 24, Agnes
Scott graduates showed a lively
interest in the current activities
of the college. A question and
answer period was held after the
luncheon by Dr. Alston, and
many of the alumnae asked
questions which showed that
they still have strong ties with
the college.
The first question reflected
their affection for Dr. McCain,
who was not present at the
luncheon. Everyone wanted to
know where he was. Miss Ann
Worthy Johnson, Director of
Alumnae Affairs, said that this
was probably the first Alumnae
Luncheon he had missed since
coming to the college. Dr. Mc-
Cain is presently on a trip to
the Far East.
Many of the alumnae seemed
concerned about Agnes Scott's
standing among other colleges.
One alumna asked how Agnes
Scott ranks with eastern wo-
men's colleges. Dr. Alston re-
plied that there is no adequate
yardstick for comparing
schools.
Several wanted to
know if the academic work is
more difficult now than it was a
few years ago. One alumna
asked about S. A. T. scores
required for admission. Dr.
Alston answered that each in-
coming class determines the
level for that year.
The alumnae also expressed
a wish for an alumnae post-
graduate program sponsored
by the college, and wanted to
know why alumnae are not al-
lowed to audit courses here.
One alumia asked if the fac-
ulty's interests are shifting
from instruction of students to
writing and research. Dr. Al-
ston said that Agnes Scott the
primary purpose of the faculty
will always be to teach and
guide students.
Many of the alumnae were
eager to know the attitudes of
the present student body. They
asked about the morale of the
students, attendance at chapels,
and other related subjects. Oth-
er questions concerned faculty
salaries and the Dana Fine Arts
Building.
The most touching question of
the day came from members of
the Class of 1915 who were
holding their fiftieth reunion.
Their question was, "Does the
present student body love Agnes
Scott as much as we do?"

Negroes Can Check
Illiteracy, Crime
(Editor's note: The following
article appeared in the Savannah
State College "Tiger's Roar.'
It was written by student Robert
L. Joiner, Jr.
The PROFILE and the 'Tig-
er's Roar" have been exchang-
ing newspapers during the past
year.)
The commemoration of the
birth of Christ has reached its
heights and another year awaits
this tradition.
Before that time, the Negro
should think seriously of what
he can do for his country as a
race.
Will he win America another
Nobel Peace Prize or will he ad-
vocate the signing of another
Civil Rights Bill?
Problems
Even if nothing historic is
achieved by the Negro, there are
little problems that he can help
solve.
Illiteracy among Negroes is
very high. There are too many
Negroes who can neither read
nor write. Surely these people
ask for a life of decorum.
But their illiteracy is an im-
pediment. It keeps them from
descent jobs. It robs them of an
average American life. I Hit
eracy, in short, is like a com-
municable disease - unless it
is isolated and dealt with, it
will spread.
Juvenile delinquency is a ser-
ious problem. It is not unusual
to pick up a paper and read of
a lad who has committed a
crime. It is folly to under esti-
mate the future of juvenile de-
linquency.
Therefore, the situation nec-
essitates immediate action, and
the Negro can play a major role
in helping to solve the problem
of delinquency.
Solutions
There is no one answer to
any of these problems, but some
solutions tend to work better
than others.
Perhaps local programs for
the illiterate could be adopted*
Then better jobs would substi-
tute for unemployment; educa-
tion would substitute for ignor-
ance and illiteracy would be-
come obsolete.
As I see it, illiterate Ne-
groes have no real position in
our complex society. But it is
not too late to reverse the re-
action.
Juvenile delinquency among
Negroes, in the past, was pro-
bably due to inadequate culture
and social facilities. Now that
the Negro is able to enjoy a
fuller culture and social life, he
should take advantage of the op-
portunity.
Negroes, who are educated,
could stimulate others, through
a series of programs, to learn
to appreciate the fine arts.
This is not, however, a program
that will greet success over-
night, but if it is well supported,
progress would be unlimited.
While the White House at-
tempts to solve the Viet Nam
Crisis, the Negro should ask
himself what he can do for his
country.
Another year awaits his
plans. Will he continue?

On Friday, May 14 at 8:15
p.m., the Agnes Scott Contem-
porary Dance Group under the
direction of Miss Kay Osborne
will present its annual spring
concert.
The three thematically diverse
suites provide a well-balanced
framework for the program.
"Rhythmical Progression"
utilizes a popular, light-hearted
theme; "The Exodus," a tradi-
tional religious theme;
THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY,
a modern, psychological theme.
Jazz Theme
"Rhythmical Progression"
studies styles of jazz by the use
of rhythmic patterns. It is com-
prised of four compostions
which picture phases in the de-
velopment of jazz.
"Primitive Origins" shows
the earliest sources of jazz.
"Downbeat" is a boogie-woo-
gie employing movements which
remain near the ground.
"Upbeat" is a more sophisti-
cated, gentle jazz which uses
Scott Students Compete
In Mock College Bowl
Agnes Scott has been ap-
proached by the G.E. College
Bowl for an appearance on that
show sometime next year. Al-
though a formal invitation has
not been issued, Dr. Alston has
sent in tentative dates for win-
ter and spring quarters.
Miss Eleanor Hutchens is the
team's coach, and SusanThom-
as has been appointed by Rep
Council to be (as she calls it)
waterboy for the team.
This Friday, an exhibition
match will be held in chapel.
Mr. Nelson will be moderator,
and Miss Richardson the judge.
Karen Gearreald, Felicia
Guest, Bev Allen, Barbie Sym-
broski, Mary Brown, Lucy
Scoville, Sarah Uzzell, and
Linda Lou Colvard have been
asked to make up the two teams.
Students should notice that
the people who will compete
Friday ARE NOT on the team.
No team has been chosen. The
purpose of the program is to
encourage people to try out for
the team.
Miss Hutchens gives definite
requirements for members of
the team. "They should have
exact knowledge and quick re-
call." They also should have
competitive spirit and willing-
ness to study.
Members of the faculty have
been asked to help the team in
their own fields. They will
submit questions to be asked in
practice sessions. They will al-
so submit lists of books which
will be helpful to the team.
Tryouts for the actual team
will be held by the end of spring
quarter, and the members will
do "independent study" all
summer.
Those chosen will have to be
compatible, and will NOT nec-
essarily be all Juniors and
Seniors.
Rubin Visits Campus
Larry Rubin, one of the young
practicing poets of this area,
will give a reading of some of
his works Tuesday, May 18.
The reading will be at 5 p.m.
in McLean Auditorium. After-
ward Mr. Rubin will answer
questions about Ins poetry.
Larry Rubin was born in Bay-
onne, New Jersey in 1930. He
received his Ph.D. from Emory
University.
At the present time he is a
member of the Georgia Tech
English Department.
Mr. Rubin's poems have been
published in Harper's, Poetry,
The Saturday Review, and Prair -

Poetry Society of America.
A collection of Mr. Rubin's
poetry written between 1956 and
1962 has been published by the

leaps and jumps to signify mo-
tion away from the earth. The
last composition, "Blues," is
a dramatic use of jazz.
Religious Theme
"The Exodus" abstractly de-
picts the oppression and the
journey of the Israelites. The
first scene pictures the suffer-
ing of the Israelites in Egypt
and their defiance of bondage.
Eleven of the plagues are col-
lectively represented, and the
Passover is enacted in a sep-
arate dance.
After the plagues the people
prepare for their departure.
The second scene takes place in
the wilderness. The Israelites
are at first joyous and reve-
rent, but they soon become
discontented.
The pagan orgy is portray-
ed, followed by the giving of
the Law. In this suite there is
no delineation of characters.

People, as seen through a wo-
man's eyes, are the focal point
of the dance. Musical arrange-
ment is by Linda Marks.
Modern Theme
THROUGH A GLASS DARKLY
is a creative thesis, which Miss
Osborne choreographed, pro-
duced, and presented as a par-
tial fulfillment for the Master
of Arts Degree, It is a suite
of five modern dance composi-
tions based upon a prism of
emotions as seen through sym-
bolic associations with stage
properties.
The first four compositions
portray negative interactions
between individuals. In 'The
Point Center" the dancer is
obsessed with security, which
is symbolized by a chair. "The
Vacuum" portrays dancers
who lack communication with
each other. They are in cones
symbolizing isolation.
In "The Tendrils of Restric-
tion" the dancers are parasit-
ically dependent upon each oth-
er in their attempt to attain
prestige, represented by a lad-
der.
'The Knife Edge" pictures
absurd subservience to author-
ity* A Pl e signifying power is
manipulated by a dancer who
aggressively destroys a
"group".
The last dance, 'The Com-
mon Bond," suggests a resolu-
tion for the experiences in the
preceding dances. A rope is
used to symbolize friendship,
the key to mutual understand-
ing and concern.
The music for this suite was
composed and directed by Dr.
Richard Hensel. The poems
are by Mary VVomack; the cos-
tumes by Mrs. Charles Cans-
ler; the lighting and special
effects by Molly Gehan.
The choreography for the first
two suites was created by
Miss Osborne and the ensemble.
The entire campus communi-
ty is invited to attend without
charge. Admission for guests
is $1.00 for adults and $.50
for children.

Vespers Need Change
Christian Association's plan for a change in vespers is a good
one.
According to the proposals vespers would be assigned to one
faculty member for a week at a time. This way only ten or
eleven faculty members would have vesper services each quarter.
With the low attendance at vespers recently it seems that a
change is necessary. This is a good idea which should be followed
through.
Hub Comes To Life
We could say, Social Council, you're wonderful, you're stupen-
dous, you're out of this worldll! But, we won't.
We'll simply say that the Hub party and doughnut party on
Tuesday night was a good idea. The two humorous movies on be-
ginning dating and personality provided some light entertainment
that could be enjoyed by the student body.
Guest Editorial
Something Of Value
The opportunity of being near a large number of colleges and
universities is one of the greatest advantages of going to school in
a city like Atlanta.
Agnes Scott is one of approximately ten colleges of every size
and variety in this area. Yet there is surprisingly little communi-
cation between Agnes Scott students and these other schools.
It is all too easy for us on this campus to become so involved
in our own activities and routines that we do not realize how much
our outlooks and attitudes may be broadened through conduct with
other students.
A major attempt to increase the communication among the Atlan-
ta schools is being made through Intercollegiate. This is a group
which meets on the afternoon of the first Sunday in every month to
discuss topics which are of interest to all college students.
The discussions, usually faculty or student led, may range from
literature to politics. Although the group is integrated, it tries to
avoid the racial issue altogether.
This makes Intercollegiate one of the few situations where
Negro and white students can meet without centering their talk
around topics which immediately divide the group down the middle.
This allows individuals to meet each other as people who share
common opinions and problems and who can mutually gain excit-
ing insights from new and different viewpoints.
Intercollegiate is not new to Atlanta or to Scott. It has existed
on this campus for almost 40 years. It has grown from a small,
rather formal council to an open group which invites - and urges -
any Atlanta student to participate.
Although the last meeting of Intercollegiate for this spring was
held the first of May, plans are already underway for the fall
meetings. It is hoped that with the new year a new interest in
Intercollegiate will be stimulated.
As they realize that this campus is too narrow a world to exist
in, it is hoped, too, that Scott students will take advantage of the
opportunity to broaden themselves as individuals through communi-
cation with a dynamic and varied community of colleges and univer-
sities.

Adopt Reorganization
Representative Council is now considering a reorganization
proposal that would radically change judicial proceedings on the
campus*.
The pending measure would move minor offenses, particularly
those bearing automatic penalties, under the jurisdiction of
House Presidents, leaving only important, extraordinary cases
to be heard by Judicial Council.
We find this an excellent plan. The time-wasting burden of
more trivial, automatic cases lifted from Judicial, it could bet-
ter give time to those cases that require consideration. The posi-
tion of Judicial Representative would be a more responsible,
a less trivial one.
Even more important would be the elevation of the office
and duties of dorm officers. House Presidents, now chiefly
concerned with hostess duty and fire drills, would have more re-
sponsibility in their respective dorms.
We recommend that Rep. Council adopt this reorganization
proposal and commend to the student body for popular approval.
Practice f^p* Teaching
(ACP) This is from THE INTERLUDE, College of St. Francis,
Joliet, 111.:
"Class, I would like you to meet Miss"
(Oh, my heart, that's me. Why, yes, hello to you. Did he really
call me Miss? Sounds so old. Why, I do feel even a bit older than
a shaky 21).
"She will be assisting me for a while in class. . ."
(How considerate of him to say "assisting" - it fits in with the
"Miss." Yes, I do think it sounds more professional than student
teacher).
"I will seat you in alphabetical order to make it easier for Miss
to learn your names."
(Yes, of course. . . row two, seat five John, with the dimp-
les. Must remember: dimples equals John. Up in front Julie.
I won't play favorites, but I do like her so much.
And, those legs extending from row three, it's Mike, star what?
Linebacker? I must keep posted on sports events. And Mike?
I do hope you like English).
"For class tomorrow, turn to page. . . dismissed."
(The bell. In just 55 minutes I've been renovated. . . into a
"Miss" who will be assisting," But more than this. Years of
hesitation, qualms and theory are all muddled together, with me
in the middle. I feel needed, responsible, in my mixed emotions.
I know something now. . . for sure. Teaching is not a certificate
or even a prized degree. It is John, Mike, Julie and the rest.
That's why I am here now. That's why I'll be back tomorrow).

Loans Available
To Junior Trainees
In Peaee Corps
College juniors who wish to
use the summer before their
senior year to prepare for post -
graduation Peace Corps service
now may borrow up to $600
to help pay their senior year
school expenses.
Loan repayment may be de-
ferred until after Peace Corps
service has been completed.
The loan program, announced
today by Peace Corps Direc-
tor Sargent Shriver, is the pro-
duct of an agreement between
United Student Aid Fund, Inc.
(USA Fund) and the Peace Corps
Volunteers Fund, a non-profit
foundation established by the
Peace Corps National Advisory
Council.
Privately funded, the loans
are guaranteed by USA Fund,
a non-profit corporation pro-
viding loan guarantees to stu-
dents on 700 campuses, with the
participation of more than 6,000
banks throughout the United
States.
The loans are expected to
enable more third-year college
students to enroll in the Peace
Corps Advanced Training Pro-
gram, a two - phase plan that
provides intensive PeaceCorps
training during the summer
months between the junior and
senior year, and just after gra-
duation.
Many students who have had
to work during summer months
now may participate in the
Peace Corps Advanced Pro-
gram.
Allen D. Marshall, president
of the USA Fund, called the
loan program "A unique re-
lationship between two private
organizations (USA Fund and the
Peace Corps Volunteer Fund)
jointly benefiting a unique
agency of our Federal Govern-
ment."
Trainees in the Advanced
Training Program begin their
Peace Corps training in June.
They rece ive travel allowances
to covep- transportation to and
from the training center, and a
living allowance while training.
Selection for the Advanced
Training Program is the same
as that used for all Peace Corps
applicants, based on an evalua-
tion of the candidate's back-
ground as revealed in the Peace
Corps Questionnaire, Place-
ment Test results, and charac-
ter references.
Evaluation continues during
the summer training program,
and final selection is not made
until the end of the second stage,
following college graduation.
Following the eight - week
summer program, Advanced
Training participants return to
their regular college, where
they may continue language
study on an individual basis.
No specific course require-
ments are made.
After graduation, partic-
pants return to a training cen-
ter for eight weeks more of
intensive instruction. Those
who successfully complete the
final training program then will
begin their work abroad as re-
gular Peace Corps Volunteers.

Bell Stresses Internal Help
In Countries Receiving Aid
David Bell, administrator of
the Agency for International
Development, spoke last Friday
night on the role of his agency.
He began by calling the term
"foreign aid" a "misnomer''
and pointing out that "security
interests, the economic incen-
tives, and the humanitarian
motives that have led our coun-
try to provide assistance to
others are very powerful."
He called attention to the suc-
cess of the aid programs, in
such places as Europe and Free
China.
Bell stressed the importance
of the cooperative aspect of the
assistance programs. "In any
country the bulk of the energy
and brains and resources that
is available to achieve economic
and social progress must be
mobilized from inside that
country."
American aid is aimed "at
releasing and supporting the
energy and resources of the
people." It has "been a cata-
lyst- a critical margin of re-
sources from outside which has
enabled much larger resour-
ces within the country to be put
to work effectively."
The Alliance for Progress, in
Bell's opinion, is the "clear-
est expression of this rela-
tionship between our aid and
the self-help efforts of aid-
receiving countries."
He spoke of the difficulty of
making "permanent and last-
ing progress," and continued
with a word about the cost of
the foreign aid program. In
relation to the gross national
product, we are today spending
less than half as much as in the
days of the Marshall Plan.
Furthermore, over 80 per-
cent of these funds are spent
in the United States for goods
and services which, rather than
Spelman Singers
Perform Bach,
Modern Works
Last Thursday's chapel saw
another manifestation of the new
tie between Agnes Scott and
Spelman.
Some fo rty students , many of
them members of the Spelman
glee club, under the direction
of Dr. Willis James, presented
a musical program.
The group began with two se-
lections from Handel "Great
is the Lord" and "How Ex-
cellent Thy Name." They then
sang Bach's "O Jesu Sweet"
a capella.
Slightly changing the mood,
they continued with two sections
of the modern work ' An Ameri-
can-Song'' by Robert Sanders.
The program was concluded
with a number of spirituals.

dollars, are made available un-
der the Foreign aid programs.
His concluding estimate of
the AID was "our aid programs
are only one element in our
foreign policy. They are no
cure all." He pointed out that
France has received more eco-
nomic and military assistance
than any other country.
However, the aid programs
are making a major contribution
toward the creation of "free
and independent nations."
Cornelius Wins
Nomination For
Georgia House
In last week's democratic
primary Dr. William G. Cor-
nelius, Associate Professor of
Political Science at Agnes Scott
College, was nominated for Post
1 in the 119th House District
for the Georgia House of Rep-
resentatives.
Dr. Cornelius ran strong in
all precincts and even took sev-
eral that he expected to lose.
Dr. Cornelius said, 'The Ag-
nes Scott volunteers were pri-
marily instrumental in this vic-
tory." The volunteers sold
doughnuts, washed cars, and
distributed literature in shop-
ping centers.
During the last two days be-
fore the election, they went from
house to house campaigning in
the high voting areas.
The general election will be
on June 16. All four of the Dem-
ocratic nominees in District 119
have opposition.
Debbie Potts, Paula Savage, and Betsy Dykes will perform "The Knife Edge," one composition

Glee Club To Perform
For Decatur Civitans
The Agnes Scott Glee Club,
under the direction of Dr. Rich-
ard Hensel, is anticipating a
busy schedule toward the close
of the 1964-65 school year.
The Glee Club had a slight
set-back for two weeks while
Dr. Hensel was in the hospital
undergoing surgery. During
his absence, Linda Marks and
Adelia McNair took over the
management of the Glee Club
and continued the rehearsals.
This involved the group's
practicing one of the more diffi-
cult works much on their own: a
song cycle entitled 'The King-
dom Between" with music writ-
ten or freely adapted by Mr.
Hensel.
The Glee Club is now back to
normal, with Mr. Hensel's re-
turn. They will have the first
trial of their skill on the even-
ing of May 13, when they will
sing for the Decatur Civitan
Club at the Decatur Federal
Building.
Last Wednesday in convoca-
tion , May 5, the Glee Club sang,
"A Song that Will Recall", one
of the proposed alma maters.
The music for this song was
freely adapted by Mr. Hensel
from Mahler's Ninth Symphony,
and the words were written by
a 1964 Scott graduate , Mary
Womack.
Next Wednesday, another song
will be presented to the stu-
dents. The words for this work
were written by Bon .ie Jo Hen-
derson, and the music written
by Mr . Martin of Scott's music
department.
Following the spring concert,
the Glee Club will participate

Academy Theatre
Student Festival
Plans "Tempest"
The Academy Theatre of At-
lanta, Georgia, announces the 11
Annual Student Shakespeare
Festival to be held on May 22,
8:00 p.m., at Chastain Memorial
Park Amphitheatre with the
production of "The Tempest"
Admission is $1.00 for stu-
dents and teachers and $2.00
for the general public.
The history of this Student
Shakespeare Festival began in
1963 when the Academy Theatre
trouped high schools and col-
leges with productions of The
Taming Of The Shrew and Mac-
beth.
The response was gratifying
from both the teachers and the
students. Since the Academy
Theatre's five year old South-
eastern Shakespeare Festival
ran only during the summer
months of June, July August, and
since this missed large num-
bers of students, the idea of
giving a festival for the students
before school ended was con-
ceived.
An added enhancement was
the outdoor amphitheatre which
would provide better conditions
for a finished production than
working on school auditorium
of different sizes.
The goal of this festival is to
grow from one performance and
one play to a week of perfor-
mances and several plays. At-
lanta is such a vital city and
strong in its cultural voice, it
is only fitting that she offers
this opportunity for her young
people.
Block reservations for school
and other groups can be made
for The Tempest by calling or
writing to The Academy Thea-
tre, 3213 Roswell Road, Atlan-
ta 30305. In the event of rain
on Saturday night, the play will
be performed the following
night, Sunday, May 23.
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.

on Independent Study. Four sen-
iors who have participated in
the Independent Study Program
during the past year will com-

Betty H. Armstrong has done
Independent Study in Bible; Jo-
hanna Logan, English; Peggy
Simmons, Chemistry; and San-
dra Wilson, Mathematics.
The panel will discuss the
problems and advantages of In-

an evaluation of this program.
Interested students who would
like to have specific questions
answered should submit these
questions to Miss Trotter by
noon May 20.
Dr. McCain
Returns From
World Travels
Dr. James McCain returned
home last week after a trip
around the world which took him
29,000 miles in 31 days. Among
the places Dr. McCain visited
were Alaska, Japan, Korea,
Hong Kong, India, Jerusalem,
Rome, Paris, London, and Edin-
burgh.
Japan was perhaps his favo-
rite country because he stayed
there longer and had the oppor-
tunity to get acquainted with
more people. Dr. McCain found
Agnes Scott alumnae all over,
and in Korea he attended an
Agnes Scott reunion.
Dr. McCain was most im-
pressed with "the millions of
people and the thousands of
languages." He managed to find
someone everywhere, though,
who spoke enough English to
be able to communicate with
him.
"It was a beautiful time of
year," and the weather was very
good everywhere, Dr. McCain
said. This was especially so in
Japan and Korea where the
cherry trees were in bloom.
In spite of seven cancellations
on plane flights and eight mis-
carriages on hotel reserva-
tions, Dr. McCain had a "won-
derful" time.
Class Of '65
To Fete Frosh
At Hub Party
The seniors will give a cas-
ual party for the freshmen
Wednesday, May 19, at 10 p.m.
in the Hub.
There will be refreshments,
piano playing, and singing.
Traditionally in the Fall the
senior class gives a party for
freshman as a part of orienta-
tion. This year because of the
many orientation activities, the
party was planned for the
spring.
At present thirty-six students
are doing Independent study
for five to ten hours credit
per quarter. Forty-four mem-
bers of the class of '65 have
been declared eligible for Inde-
pendent Study for the 1965-66
session.
The object of the Independent
Study Program at Agnes Scott
is to give superior students the
opportunity to explore for them-
selves some field of intellec-
tual or artistic interest and to
produce independently some
piece of work connected with it.
Students who have a B aver-
age by the end of the winter
quarter of the junior year are
eligible to take part in the
program. Independent Study
may be undertaken for three,
four or five hours per quar-
ter, with a minimum total of
three and a maximum total of
ten. Except in unusual cases,
this work must be continued
through more than one quar-
ter.
Faculty members who pro-
vide direction for students un-
dertaking Independent Study do
this in addition to their regular
program.

Rosen Leads Formation Of
Atlanta Presidents 9 Council
Agnes Scott's student govern-
ment, led by Debbie Rosen, has
been working on a new idea
of communication among
schools in the Atlanta area,
the Atlanta Presidents' Coun-
cil.
The Council, which is pre-
sently in the planning stage
DEBBIE ROSEN
only, would include the pre-
sident and approximately two
representatives from all At-
lanta area colleges and uni-
versities.
The idea of a Presidents'
Council was born at a meet-
ing of leaders from the var-
ious schools. Since little in-
terest was shown by the other
represented schools and since
most of those present were out-
going presidents, Debbie was
chosen to be chairman of the

ted," said Debbie, "Agnes Scott

Club Presents
Song Concert
The Agnes Scott Glee Club
under the direction of Dr. Rich-
ard Hensel, will present its
annual spring concert May 21,
in Gaines.
The program will consist of
two main groups: selections
from the "Fantasticks", and a
song cycle freely adapted by
Dr. Hensel, entitled, "The
Kingdom Between".
Several feature attractions
to be anticipated are Jane Lum-
pkin, who will play the percus-
sion accompaniment for the
"Fantasticks", and Diane
Swaim, who will sing a solo
part along with the chorus in
the song cycle.
Linda Marks, the regular
accompanist, also will accom-
pany Malie Bruton and Susan
King. They will serve as the
speakers who unify the theme of
the "Fantasticks".
Fall quarter the Glee Club
presented its concert in Gaines.
But the winter quarter concert
was held in Walter-Hill Audi-
torium. This spring the club
is looking forward again to per-
forming before the Agnes Scott
student body.
freely and ideas for improve-
ments exchanged.
It will be an opportunity for
the schools to make known to
each other the cultural and pol-
itical opportunities available on
their campuses and to sponsor
lectures, debates, etc. jointly,
Even if their were no other
advantages, the contact between
presidents of the various stu-
dent governments alone could
be very beneficial.
If Agnes Scott's president
frit there was some problem
on our campus in which another
school might be involved (such
as the disappearance of cards
from the Hub), she would feel
free to contact the other pre-
sident and secure his help in
the matter.
Debbie stresses the fact
that the ideas for the Council
are very idenfinite, and she
welcomes any suggestions from
the students.
NSA has also been contacted
for information on such organi-
zations in other large cities.
Those involved in this pro-
ject have high hopes for the
success of the Council in pro-
moting better communication
and better intercampus rela-
tions in the future.

Next year the Agnes Scott
Dining Hall will be operated on
a new system. The meals will
catered by the Campus Chef
Catering Company. However,
the dining hall will continue to
maintain cafeteria style ser-
vice.
| Income Tax Information For Workers
The Internal Revenue Service
provides some information
which will be very helpful to stu-
dents holding summer jobs this
summer. According to their
pamplet" Personal Exemptions
and Dependents," students may
still be claimed as dependents
by their parents even if their
gross income exceeds $600 or
more for the year. Gross in-
come is defined as the total
taxable income of the indivi-
dual.
A person may be declared a
dependent regardless of age or
gross income earned during one
year if he qualifies as a full-
time student.
A full-time student is consid-
ered to be one who is enroll-
ed for the number of hours of
courses which is considered to
be full-time attendance . He
must also attend school dur-
ing some part of five calen-
dar months of the year, not nec-
essarily consecutive months.

Songs Good, Not Great
Two new school songs have been written and introduced under
the leadership of Mortar Board m its search for an alma mater.
We feel that a song should be selected. We agree with the idea
that it should be one written by Agnes Scott people. And we have
our opinions on these songs recently introduced.
"A Song That Will Recall" is lovely but it would be very dif-
ficult for an untrained group to sing as an alma mater should be
sung spontaneously and easily.
The music to "Convocation of the Present" is more fitting.
The words must therefore be considered.
Basically the lyrics are appealing. However, the split infini-
tive in line three does not speak well of the intellectual cali-
bre of Agnes Scott.
Furthermore, the word "dialogue" is too current a word for
an alma mater that must last . Being The Word at present, it
is overworked now and will have no meaning in the future.
Progress is being made. These songs should be sung and ac-
cepted as school songs. But we see neither in its present form
as an alma mater.
Students And Stimulants
Anyone who has ever stayed up all night to study for a big-
quiz or to finish a paper has confronted the temptation to take
a drug stimulant in order to stay awake.
Many of us do take the path of least resistance and take a
stimulant of one kind or another.
Ideally, the situation should never arise; ideally we should
never get behind in our studies; ideally a little coffee should
be enough to refresh our healthy bodies.
But Scott is anything but an ideal world, and it often happens
that an already exhausted student has a full night's work a-
head of her. So she takes a pill.
Usually the worst harm that comes to the occasional pill-
taker is a reprimand from the teacher who resents her sleeping
in class the morning after an all night stand.
There is far more possible harm for the student who comes to
rely on drugs. She falls into the habit of staying up night after
night. Usually her health and ironically her grades both suf-
fer. Cokes and cigarettes harm her health, and lack of sleep
dulls her mind, thus lowering her grades. She also cuts more
classes than she should in order to catch up on her sleep.
THE PROFILE recognizes that we are human, and that some-
times a pill may really be the best way out of an academic crisis.
What we deplore is the reliance on drugs to get students through
every single crisis and imagined crisis.
Sleep is essential to both physical and mental health, and when
it is a question of either sleep or a good grade, in nine cases out
of ten we say, GET SOME SLEEP.
Don't get hooked. The pill that looks like a life-saver now may
prove to be the worst thing that ever happened to you.

Dear Editor:
The inconsistency in the re-
solutions passed by Represen-
tative Council May 11 indica-
tes a disappointing lack of dir-
ection, and calls this body to
define, to understand, and to
have the integrity and courage
to carry out its position on cam-
pus.
Until this meeting, there
seems to have been a two-fold
move in the Student Govern-
ment Association: to strength-
en Representative Council and
to encourage the participation
of students in the affairs of
the campus.
Reversal
Actions at this meeting would
seem to be a reversal of this
trend, with the members of this
body first shirking the respon-
sibilities of campus leader-
ship to which they were elect-
ed and then assuming autho-
rity, which not only is not gran-
ted by the Council's consti-
tution, but which is specifically
delegated, in charters approv-
ed by the Council, to other cam-
pus organizations.
I refer first of all to the
Council's decision to refer the
selection of a judicial repre-
sentative from Alexander Cot-
tage to the student body, rath-
er than making the decision,
which is well within its juris-
diction, itself.
Judicial Council had reques-
ted that Representative Coun-
cil elect, from a slate of nomin-
ations made by the girls invol-
ved in the living area, one re-
presentative to Judicial. The
request was made in recognition
of the fact that members of

NSA Grant
Offers Study,
Travel Abroad
N. S. A. grants scholarships
to students who wish to study
abroad. In many cases N. S. A.
pays the full travel cost to and
from the country.
The main purpose of the stu-
dent exchange program is to
promote understanding between
the students of this country and
the students of other countries.
All of this is done on a stu-
dent to student basis and N. S. A.
works closely with the student
associations in another country;
The criteria for selection
differs with each country: but in
general the student must be flu-
ent in the language, have a good
knowledge of the country; its
people and customs, and she
must have a good knowledge of
American society and be able to
communicate this knowledge ef-
fectively.
Representative Council have
been delegated with the power
and obligation to represent
the student body, and further,
that they are expected to be
somewhat more informed on
campus matters, and to con-
sider their legislative deci-
sions more carefully, than the
average student.
Refusal
The refusal of Representa-
tive Council to fulfill this ob-
ligation brings into serious
question its confidence in its
authority and gives the stu-
dent body every right to doubt
its validity as a governing coun-
cil.
Secondly, I refer to the de-
cision to comply with the re-
quest of the student government
of Sacred Heart College of Cul-
lman, Ala., to support Senate
Bill 12, an addition to the
general internal revenue code
which relates to tax deductions
for higher education, by writ-
ing to Sen. Abraham Ribicoff,
sponsor of the bill
There are at least four cam-
pus organizations which are
concerned with political acti-
vity and study. These groups
offer ample opportunity for any
student, whatever her ideo-
logical inclinations, to express
an opinion on national or in-
ternational issues to policy
makers.
In this case, Representative
Council, in presuming to speak
for the collective student body
on a national issue, directly
undermines the potential of the
programs of these campus
groups. Rather than encourag-
ing individuals to participate,
the Council, in doing this, robs
them of their perogative and
has issued a statement to the
general public which express-
es the supposed opinions of all
Agnes Scott students.
Only One
The fact that only one mem-
ber of the Council had read
the bill and that possibly no
one on the Council is quali-
fied as a lawyer or is well-
enough informed about the ec-
onomics of federal taxes to un-
derstand or to render a com-
petent opinion as to the mean-
ing, ramifications, or value of
the bill makes the Agnes Scott
letter to Ribicoff useless in
theory, though unfortunately not
in practice.
In short, it seems ironical
that Representative Council
should feel qualified and will-
ing to speak for the student
body on a national issue such
as this one, when there are oth-
er organizations better fitted
for this function, when it does
not feel qualified and/or will-
ing to represent the same
students in matters which af-
fect the campus and which it
should be competent to judge.
BETSY ANDERSON
Student Raft For Peace
CHICAGO (CPS) In the wake of the failure of the April 17
March on Washington to end to war in Viet Nam, a special com-
mittee of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) has been
formed to take, as one SDS official put it, "the most direct action
ever."
The idea of the "Student Raft for Peace," as it is called, was
originally conceived by Michael Fitzbeezer, of the Roosevelt
University (Chicago) SDS.
Explained Fitzbeezer, "According to my analysis, the April
17 march failed to end the Vietnamese war because we did not
protest in the right place. After all, it is not President John-
son and Secretary Rusk who want the U. S. to fight the Viet Cong.
"The Vietnamese war," continued Fitzbeezer, "is being con-
ducted on the basis of false information provided by CIA and
State Department officials in Viet Nam. Therefore, we feel that
a non-violent student protest march should have been conducted
not in Washington, but in Saigon. Realizing this, we have decid-
ed to sail and row to the South Vietnamese capital on a huge 'Stu-
dent Raft for Peace.'
"Building our own raft and sailing it across the Pacific to
Saigon all by ourselves will show the world that this is a real
grass roots protest," explained Fitzbeezer.
The raft was designed by Roosevelt SDS member Noah Fulton
during spring vacation, with the technical advice of two vaca-
tioning Annapolis cadets who wished to remain anonymous.
"We're calling her 'Ultimate Concern", said Fulton. "The
'Concern' will be 50 cubits wide and 300 cubits long and will carry,
in addition to food and water, two students, one male
and one female, from each participating SDS chapter." He said
the trip is expected to take 50 days.
Jeffrey Seagull, former Roosevelt student now working in the
National Office of SDS, explained how the rrft will be built.
"Fifteen different sizes of logs are required to build the
'Concern", said Seagull. "Each SDS chapter which wishes to
participate will be given a set of blueprins. They will choose
the type of log they wish to contribute. No birch logs will be
accepted.
"The Harvard-Radcliffe SDS," continued Seagull, "will contri-
bute the first log and the first two crew members. The 'Student-
Raft-for-Peace Caravan' will then proceed west towards Berke-
ley, picking up additional logs and crew members from SDS
chapters on campuses along the way.
"The Caravan," concluded Seagull, "will wind up at Berkeley,
where the raft will be built. It will be launched from the San
Francisco Bay Harbor after a ceremony with speeches by fa-
mous liberals such as Murray Unkempt and I. F. Pebble."
The raft will be launched in late June. SDS chapters wishing
to participate can apply for information and blueprints from
Roosevelt SDS, 430 S. Michigan, Chicago, 111. 60605.
John Paul Jones Aptheker, of the Roosevelt SDS, said the Viet-
namese air force and navy will be alerted that the raft is com-
ing "so they don't mistake us for Viet Cong and gas us."
Fitzbeezer added that while they are sailing, the crew of the
'Concern' will sing traditional songs of peace and freedom such
as "We Shall Overcome" and "We Shall Not Be Sunk."

NSA Opportunities

Last Thursday, May 13, Lin-
da Lou Colvard, NSA coordina-
tor, led a Hub discussion on
"The Wide World of NSA."
She introduced the members
of her committee and explained
their duties. Babs Ballantyne
will be in charge of Scholar-
ships and Finance, Susan A He-
rn an , the Educational Tra-
vel Discount Service.
Managing Agnes Scott's con-
tributions to the Moderator, the
NSA affiliated magazine, will be
Sylvia Harby. Libba Goud will
ultimately be in charge of the
Insurance Trust Fund, but until
that information comes, she will
handle Scope, the magazine
listing opportunitues for com-
munity service.
NSA has received some in-
formation suggesting the addi-
tion of a Human Relations ser-
vice here. Linda Lou, however,
has decided that since Christ-
ian Association provides many
of these services, NSA does
not need to &et up a division of
this kind.
Linda Lou explained that she
has written to the Student Gov-
ernment Information Service
for much information about stu-
dent government organiza-
tion and orientation in other
schools. NSA provides this ma-
terial free for a period of three
weeks, after which it is sent
back to the main office.
Information
Anyone who needs infor-
mation of this kind for next
fall's planning should get in
touch with Linda Lou. This ser-
vice should be reciprocal, how-
ever. Agnes Scott should file
in the main office information
about our student government
activities so that this can be
of use to other colleges. Since
we are listed first in the mem-
ber schools of NSA, we should
at least be active.
The budget is one problem
that NSA has already encoun-
tered. TTiere is an expected
allotment of $400 Three
fourths of this is going to send
Debbie Rosen and Linda Lou to
Madison, Wisconsin this sum-
mer from August 17-September
2.
There Debbie will attend the
meeting of the Student Govern-
ment Presidents, and Linda Lou
will meet with the NSA coor-
dinators. Both will represent
ASC at the Student Congress.
Because of its size, ASC has
one vote at the Congress. Linda
Lou and Debbie have pledged to
vote as they feel the student body
would think best.
Viet Nam
This preterence, however, is
hard to determine in many
cases. NSA plans to have the
student body fill out question-
naires in the near future on the
attitudes 0 n the Viet Nam situ-
ation. Linda Lou requested that
students make an effort to be-
come or to remain as well-
informed as possible on this in
the next few weeks.
The student bodv will be told
in the fall how Debbie and Lin-
da Lou voted on each issue.
There are several projects
being planned for NSA next year.
They include having debates in
chapel with contrasting points
of view represented.
These debates would be co-
sponsored by the three politi-
cal groups which will be active
on campus: The Young Republi-
cans, the Young Democrats, and
the Young Conservatives. NSA
plans to remain and pledges to
be a non-partisan group.
Linda Lou hopes to have sev-
eral guest speakers on campus
next year. Hopefully, one of
these will be George Brown,
Mary's brother, who will be
visiting schools overseas with
NSA this summer.
Discount
Through the Educational Tra-
vel service of NSA, students
can obtain for $2 an Interna-
tional Student Identity Card.
This is explained in one of
the pamphlets sent from NSA.
1 'Until this year, the Interna-
tional Student Identity Card was
valid only for discount abroad.
Things have changed. Now, with
the same international card
previously bought only for tra-
vel in Europe, students can take
advantage of price reductions
in hundreds of areas within
America.
"Over 300 college dormitor-
ies plus hotels of the Hilton,
Sheraton, Pick, Manager, and
Howard Johnson chains honor
the International Card for dis-
counts. Moreover, merchants
in Los Angeles, New York
City, Minneapolis, and Chicago
honor the card. Selected
World's Fair pavilions will re-
duce charges on admissions and
souvenirs as well."
Cards can be ordered for
any number of students, or for
just one. Get in touch with Su-
san Aikman at ext. 218 or box
23 by Monday if you would
like to order a card, or at
any time Tor further informa-
tion.

For Gala 'Othello' Production
BY FELICIA GUEST
A glittering, glamorous first-
night audience graced Gaines
Opera House Saturday night
for the production of "The Le-
gend of Othello."
Mary Poppins, Snuffy Smith,
Dr. Hayes, Miss Hutchens, and
countless others of the cos-
mopolitan elite enhanced the
gala atmosphere.
First credit for the astound-
ing success of the opera goes
to Seniorpolitan General Man-
ager Marilyn Little and Assis-
tant Manager Kathy Johnson
for assembling a production
which reeked of creativity and
virtuosity.
Sue Taliaferro, a baritone of
astounding dramatic ability,
was a heinous and fiendish Iago.
Her debut was poised and poli-
shed. Rarely are such mellow
tones heard in such a villa-
inous role.
Tenor Aria
The famous tenor aria "De-
sde, How I I Love Ya" was
executed by Sue Roberts with
uncommon warmth anc gallery-
pleasing vocal virtuosity. She
brought great humanity to the
role of the Moor who loved
not wisely but oh so well.

terpretation of Desdemona was
cr refreshing. If ever an
adolescent was truly sexy and
bewitching, her Desdemona
certainly was.
The costumes ranged from
the 14th to the 18th Century,
lending an air of universa-
lity, a touch of the "Every-
man" to the opera.
Sandra Wilson's sets were
incomparable. Only these col-
orful, meaningful backdrops
could provide a tactile situa-
tion suitable for such pow-
erful drama and breathtak-
ing music.
Seldom has the underlying
message o f "Othello" come
across quite as it did Satur-
day night. Credit must be giv-
en first to the librettists and
to the cast of thousands ex-
cellent to the last senior.
The inebriate Cassio, tor-
mented Emilia, studpid Roderi-
go, unearthly spirits, and ir-
ate Brabantio were all created
with skill and high-calibre vo-
cal expressiveness.

Chaucer
The innovation of the Chau-
cerian prologue and epilogue
provided a most satisfying Ar-
istotelian unity of time (?),
place (?), and action (I). The
spoken diaglogue was resonant
and worthy of any operatic
stage.
May C. Brown, Rose Hoover,
and "The Remnant" performed
with great sensitivity and feel-
ing. The magnificent overture,
one of opera's most demanding
symphonic pieces, was a tour
de force of agility and subtle
meaning, e. g. "Drink, drink,
drink."-
;nior
We can only complain that our
opera season is far too short.
But we can comfort ourselves
that we have heard the best
of all possible operas, cre-
ated and executed by the ini-
mitable "fascinating Sixty-
Fivers." Bravo I

Picnic For Campus
Today is one of the days that
the campus community looks
forward to all year. The an-

nic will be held on the hockey
field and in the amphitheater.
The new board has been work*
ing hard to make this one of
the best picnics ever.
The activities begin at 4:00
with the final match in the ten-
nis doubles. Immediately follow-
ing is the student-faculty vol-
leyball game. The students are
anxious to revenge previous de-
feat.
The faculty, captained by Dr.
Clark, will be in champion-
ship form, to be sure. (By
the way, Dr. Clark has never
played volleyball before.) We
regret that Mr. Parrish will be
unable to play this year.
Supper will be served at 5:30
Members of Representative

Chemistry Department
Expands Resources
The chemistry department of
Agnes Scott has recently com-
pleted the acquisition of
some costly new equipment.
Among the new equipment are
six radiation instruments. The
radiation equipment consists of
four Geiger counters, a radia-
tion analyzer, and equipment
for working with radioactive
carbon.
With this equipment a full
introductory course will be of-
fered and it will be used in
other advanced courses as well
as for research in independent
study.
Another of the new instru-
ments is a chromatograph which
will be used to carry out the ana-
lysis of volatile substances.
Heretofore this was a long,
complicated process to be done
in the laboratory with uncer-
tain results.
Now all the student has to do
is to feed a sample of the sub-
stance to be analyzed into the
m achine and receive the answer
a short time later on a recor-
der.
There are three spectropho-
tometers. These instruments
will measure light absorbed by
solutions in the ultraviolet, vis-
ible, and infrared regions of the
spectrum and will be used for
both analytical purposes and
as an aid in determining the
structure of molecules.

"The stick doesn't work,"
Conya explained. "But we
cheered Mr. Parrish on while
he grabbed him barehanded."
The snake was brought back
from the trip in the "Snakes
Alive I" box and now resides
in a coop in the comparative
anatomy lab room.
What does he eat? "Nothing
so far," his mistress admits.
She may have to force feed him
raw eggs or hot dogs, accord-

"He's got quite a person-

him several times daily. He's
learned to recognize her, lets
her pet him.
But naming him presents a
problem: "I haven't gotten to
know him that well yet. I don't
even know if it's a she or a
he yet," she added sheepishly.
"And I hate to give him a name
like Blackie; he needs a name
that shows personality."
This is only one of a series

favorite. She's "just happen-

8 Class Poem I
BY KATHY JOHNSON
We are no experiment,
Nor remarkably intelligent-
Just diligent, competent, and
collectively excellent.
We're a very ordinary class
With an extr'ordinary ability-
to pass;
(And alas, a flair for walking
on the grassl)
By careful calculation,
investigation,
speculation,
And close interrogation of the
administration
We conclude we're not here on
probation,
But rather on commission for a
very special mission:
We're both remnant and har-
binger, a
combination
Of the past and future genera-
tion.
Expressed in plain language,
clear and succinct,
The Class of '65 is
The Missing Link.
We arrived in '61 hard on the
heel
Of double-dating repeal.
And we had the tremendous ap-
peal
Of early potential to congeal.
It was the year when:
Robert Frost last came;
We had no cuts to claim;
Kay Os was new;
The Scott Exchange debut'd;
And Freshmen joined the Walt-
ers' crew.
In the year of Phaedra's glori-
fication,
And the Study Smoker inaugura-
tion,
We made a presentation
Of a ring to Mr. Rogers at our
spirit
celebration.
And we had the last commemo-
ration
Solemnization
Of Tom Jones' final inhuma-
tion.
We are the class fantastickl
And extremely elastic
Aganinst campus tradition re-
belling
We broke the habit of cottage
dwelling;
The News changed to Profile,
Thanks to our vote:
And at our instigation
Came the formation
And first nomination
Of Motor Boat!
We stirred such a hullaballoo
In subjecting everything to re-
view
(And exhausting all the reve-
nue 1)
That was the year that:-
The Lower Dining Hall came
through,
Though we were never catered
to;
New strides were taken at our
initiation,
But we missed each final in-
novation:
The Dana building dedication;
The College Bowl edification;
The Cabin path illumination;
AND a major policy modifica-
tion!

Fine Arts
Emphasis
Next Year
Next year promises to be rich
in cultural activities at Agnes
Scott. The emphasis on the arts
will be heralded by the opening
of the Dana Fine Arts building,
where much of the activity will
be centered. It will continue
through the dance and choral
concerts in the spring.
Because of the campus em-
phasis and because of Atlanta's
new cultural thrust, a group of
faculty and students have been
meeting to determine how best
to share campus presentations
with friends of the college and
the community.
They are considering the
physical and financial factors
involved in this attempt. Pub-
licizing and focusing on events
already on the school calendar
which would have significance
for people of this area is the
emphasis.
A call for student help in this
endeavor includes work in
many areas: Miss Carrington
Wilson needs ideas on how to
best publicize events on and off
campus; Dr. McNair will need
help addressing brochure which
are being sent out about the
opening of the new gallery in
Dana; help is also needed on
the brochure itself. Students in-
terested in helping with any of
the activities should contact
Miss Winter.
The events of the year in-
clude the gallery opening in
October, a Blackfriars play, a
lecture by an expert on Shakes-
peare and other facets of his-
tory, an economist, the Juil-
liard quarter, a visit by Mark
Van Doren, and special events
during Alumnae Weekend, to
name only a few.
Dr. Frank G. Dickey and Dr.
Harold A. Bosley have deliver-
ed addresses at Agnes Scott's
seventy-sixth commencement.
Both the graduation exercises
and the baccalaureate service-
were held in Gaines Chapel and
were presided by academic pro-
cessions.
This morning at 10 a.m., Dr.
Dickey presented the graduation
address to the class of 1965,
their parents and friends. Dr.
Dickey is presently Director
of the Southern Association of
Colleges and Schools, a posi-
tion he assumed on July 1, 1963.
He is moving to the post of
Executive Director of the Na-
tional Commission on Accredit-
ing in Washington, D. C, effec-
tive July 1, 1965.
Dr. Dickey completed his un-
dergraduate college education
at Transylvania College, Lex-
ington, Kentucky, where he was
graduated cum laude in June,
1939. The University of Ken-
tucky awarded Dr. Dickey the
Master of Arts degree in 1942
and the Doctor of Education de-
gree in 1947.
From 1952 - 1953 he served
as a post-doctoral fellow at
Harvard University. He holds
honorary degrees from Loyola
University, New Orleans; Tran-
sylvania College; Berea Col-
lege; Findley Colk-gc and Jack-
sonville University.
In 1949 Dr. Dickey assumed
the position of Dean of the Col-
lege of Education, University of
Kentucky, in which capacity he
served until he was named
President of the University in
June, 1956.
He has been a member of

DRINKING POLICY-
Mature Process
One of the most important aspects of the new Policy On The
Use Of Alcoholic Beverages is the way it came into being.
The Policy comes into existence with an excellent progno-
sis for the simple reason that it was developed with a great
spirit of communication, maturity, and cooperation.
Our Policy does not belong to Student Government, to the fac-
ulty, or to the administration. It belongs to every
member of the college community, for in a very real sense every
member of the community was represented and considered in
the formation of the Policy.
The result of this sharing of opinion, experience, and perspe-
ctive is a very balanced Policy.
And the PROFILE staff thinks that the end result will be a
WORKABLE Policy, provided that each of us will bear in mind
our individual responsibility to a Policy that belongs to us in
every way.
Silhouette Superb
We want to congratulate the Silhouette staff, under the leader-
ship of Kathy Johnson and Nancy Solmonson for the excellent
job they did on the 1965 yearbook.
The theme is appropriate and well-portrayed; the color pho-
tographs are unusually good; the cover is attractively digni-
fied. The formal pictures were well-planned and provide an
accurate record. As for the candid shots, it's all there the
classroom, the smoker, the dorm, the unity, the individuality.
The 1965 Silhouette is an outstanding picture of the essence
of Agnes Scott her eternal qualities and the uniqueness which
was hers this year.

(ACP) There are almost
15 miles of sidewalks on the
Kansas State University cam-
pus constructed at a cost of
more than $125,000.
But throughout the years it
seems that students prefer to
walk on the lawns rather than
use the sidewalks, says the Kan-
sas State Collegian.
\ V\\\\\ w \\\\\\\\\\\
On a recent Friday, between
10:50 and 11 a.m., 46 students
used the two paths directly
north of Anderson Hall. One
student, in his hurry to beat the
crowd to the Union, almost trip-
iped and fell while running
across one of the paths.
The odd part of this situation
is that most of the paths shor-
ten our walking time by only
20 or 30 steps 30 seconds.
It is even more ridiculous to
note that during the winter
months we prefer to walk
through the mud.
One solution to the problem
would be to erect fences and
barricades at all points where
paths are used, or we could dot
the campus with "Keep Off the
Grass" signs like those in front
of the Union.
The barricades would prob-
ably look slightly humorous to
visitors and the signs would
ultimately fall into disrepair
and be regarded with little more
than a passing glance.
To erect such impediments
might not only further the im-
age that K-State is truly a
"cow college" but also sug-
gests that the students are in-
deed a bunch of cattle.
The ultimate answer to this
problem is self-discipline.

A thorough study on the part of administration, faculty, and stu-
dents has just been completed regarding the use of alcoholic bev-
erages by students at the College. In view of a continued concern
on the part of students and with confidence in the time-honored
channels of procedure, the administration supported Representa-
tive Council in their inauguration of a Policy Committee.
The aim of this committe was to study and appraise our former
non-drinking standard along with the policies in operation in com-
parable colleges in order to recommend, if possible, a statement
that would be right for Agnes Scott.
This committee, composed of students, faculty, and administra-
tion, unanimously recommended the Policy Regarding the Use of
Alcoholic Beverages. The new policy was then unanimously ap-
proved by Rep Council and the Administrative Committee and was
received and supported by the Board of Trustees.
In their desire to find the fairest and most reasonable method
for controlling the use of alcoholic beverages, these groups dis-
played the finest spirit of cooperation and concern for the College.
This spirit has marked every phase in the formation of the new
policy, a policy designed not to make it easier for students to
drink but to provide a reasonable method of controlling a situation
that could be detrimental to the College.
This policy is based on a trust in the students at Agnes Scott, in
their mature judgment and responsible behavior. For this reason
the major responsibility of the policy falls in the hands of each stu-
dent and in the hands of her fellow students.
We believe that students at Agnes Scott will support this policy in
the finest kind of spirit and with an attitude and determination to do
the best thing for the College.

Policy Regarding The Use
Of Alcoholic Beverages
i
Agnes Scott College does not approve the use of alcoholic bev-
erages by students enrolled in the College. The College exercises
full jurisdiction over the actions of students on the campus and on
other campuses in the Greater Atlanta area. The College shares
jurisdiction with parents when the student is away from the cam-
pus. In all circumstances, the student is responsible for her
good behavior under the provisions of the Honor System.
II
Students are prohibited from the possession or use of alcoholic
beverages on the Agnes Scott campus and at any function sponsor-
ed by Agnes Scott College or any organization within the College.
Students are prohibited from the use of alcoholic beverages when
representing the College or any organization in the College in the
course of any official activity (conferences, debates, etc.).
The use of alcoholic beverages by visitors on the campus and
the possession of such beverages in College buildings is prohibited.
Each student is responsible for seeing that her guests (dates, par-
ents, etc*) abide by this regulation.
Students are prohibited from the use of alcoholic beverages on
any college or university campus in the Greater Atlanta area or
at any event sponsored by these colleges and universities or any
of their organizations (including fraternities).
Agnes Scott College recognizes that it shares with a student's
parents the responsibility for herwelfare in situations not directly
involved with the life of the campus or of other campuses in the
Greater Atlanta area. In such situations, the College must assume
that parental authority and counsel will be honored by the student
in decisions concerning social drinking.
Agnes Scott College expects her students to uphold the laws of
the state. Under the statues of the State of Georgia, a person un-
der twenty-one can legally neither buy alcoholic -beverages nor be
served alcoholic drinks without written permission from herpar-
ents for each specific occasion. When a student is away from the
College, she is expected to know and observe the laws of the state
in which she is visiting.
A student carries with her the name of the College at all times
and is expected to maintain a high standard of conduct so that her
behavior will not be subject to criticism or be in any way detri-
mental to the College, her fellow students, or herself.
IV
The College places reliance upon the honor and good judgment
of students in their social life off campus (in the Greater Atlanta
area and when visiting in other communities). This means that the
student is expected to conduct herself in off-campus situations so
that her behavior will be above reproach. It also means that when
returning to the campus, she must be fully able to resume a
normal, responsible place in the community.
A student who abuses the College's confidence in her forefeits
the privilege of membership in the Agnes Scott student body. Be-
havior contrary to the provisions of the policy stated above will
be regarded as a major offense, and the student will be subject to
suspension or expulsion from the College.
Agnes Scott's policy regarding the use of alcoholic beverage^
puts major responsibility for a student's behavior in her own hands
and in the hands of hei fellow students, to whom and for whom
each student has pledged her honor.

Cathe Centorbe, of Atlanta,
Georgia, a junior at Agnes Scott
College, has been selected by
Mademoiselle magazine from
1500 contestants to be one of
its 1965 Guest Editors.
Miss Centorbe, daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. J. K. Centorbe, of
4246 Peachtree - Dunwoody
Road, Atlanta, Georgia, will be
brought to New York by the
magazine to spend the month of
June with 19 other winners to
help edit the August, 1965 col-
lege issue.
They will receive a salary for
their month's work: writing,
editing, illustration and laying
out the issue, and being photo-
graphed for fashion and feature
pages.
In small groups, they will
interview noted artists, actors,
writers, designers, and polit-
ically prominent personages of
their choosing.
Collectively, they will visit
advertising agencies, publish-
ing houses, and manufacturers'
showrooms in the fashion mar-
ket to learn first-hand how some
of the important businesses of
New York operate.
A special assignment for the
Guest Editors will be a trip to
Madrid, by Iberia Airlines. At
take-off time, they will all be
wearing identical traveling out-
fits of Easy-to-pack fabric, of
DuPont Orion and rayon, a
pleated skirt and pullover in
beige and off-white.
After five days of sight-see -
ing in Spain, they will return
to their editorial duties in New
York.
The twenty competition win-
ners will be treated to a coif-
fure and makeup at the Eliza-.'
beth Arden Salon. They will
also be among the professional
models showing fall fashions in
Mademoiselle's annual Back-
to-College fashion show June
2, before 2,000 store buyers
and executives, in the Grand
Ballroom of New York's Astor
Hotel.
The twenty young guests of
the magazine will be introduced
officially to New York at a spec-
ial anniversary party, obser-
ving Mademoiselle's 30th year
of publishing, which will be
given June 7 in the Promenade
of the New York State Theatre
of Lincoln Center.
Miss Centorbe is an art major
at Agnes Scott.
Her interests extend to horse-
back riding, commercial art,
book illustration and merchan-
dising. She worked as a camp
counselor for two years as head
of the arts and crafts depart-
ment because she likes child-
ren and the outdoors "and
where else could you learn to
supervise 45 little boys in chis-
elling and painting a 15 foot
totem pole?"
Occasionally she models for
a bridal salon, although "they
almost have to light a fire under
me to get me on a runway."
When asked why she had en-
tered the Guest Editor compe-
tition, Miss Centorbe replied,
"I would hope that my position
as a Guest Editor would help
prepare me for a permanent po-
sition on the magazine staff af-
ter college."
Her entries would seem to
more than qualify her for a job
in publishing.
The first was a guidebook for
freshman women which could be
too true almost enough to
frighten a freshman off.
The second was a beautifully
researched and illustrated
children's book telling them
how to be kind to various ani-
mals.
In the process of putting it
together, she met "the zoo-
keeper, the cage cleaners, the
local veterinarian and I became
very attached to an aardvark
named Frank."
The Guest Editors will be
housed, for their month's stay,
at Manhattan's Barbizon Hotel
for women, long known as a dis-
tinguished residence for New

Does This Help, Seniors?
Student Stresses
Aspects Of
Senate Bill 12
Dear Editor:
I would like to emphasize one
point made by Betsy Anderson
in a letter to the PROFILE
May 19, concerning a recent
action by Rep Council.
The student government of
Sacred Heart College, Cullman,
Alabama, requested that the
ASC Rep Council voice support
for Senate Bill 12, which in-
volves tax credits for higher
education. Rep Council replied
by writing the bill's sponsor,
Sen. Abraham Ribicoff (D. -
Conn.).
In doing this Rep. Council
expressed an opinion for the
entire student body of Agnes
Scott College without making
any effort to seek out student
opinion on this issue, and with-
out any real understanding of
the bill's nature on the part of
its members.
I have always been appalled
by the implications and the con-
sequences of an uninformed and
misinformed minority's making
decisions for the majority.
We have been disappointed
with administration - student
communication in the past; per-
haps we should be even more
concerned with student leader-
student communication*
Senate Bill 12 was presented
In Rep Council as a "non-
controversial and non - par-
tisan" bill. I not only question
this statement, but regard it as
nothing short of deception.
More than 120 such bills have
been introduced in Congress.
This particular bill was nar-
rowly defeated in the Senate
last year. It is one of the most
controversial issues before the
Senate now.
I think it is significant that
the Association of American
Colleges has repea redly refus-
ed to take a stand on this issue
due to its controversial nature.
Senate Bill 12 involves the
use of tax credits to relieve
the costs of higher education.
In Rep Council this was pre-
sented as tax deductions, an en-
tirely different thing.
The bill does have 34 co-
sponsors, Democrats and Re-
publicans. But it is a partisan
issue.
The 1964 campaign platform
of the Republican Party endor-
sed the use of tax credits to
ease the burden of higher edu-
cational costs. The present Ad-
ministration opposes this, pre-
ferring to ease costs through
a Federal scholarship program
and the expansion of student
loan and work-study programs.
Logical
This proposal is only logical,
for if these costs are to be
eased, it would be only fair
to ease the burden where it is
most needed - certainly not in
the high tax brackets where
education costs are not diffi-
cult to meet.
It is doubtful that revenue
from tax credits would ease
the burden for those who real-
ly need help, while direct
spending or loans would aid
those who truly merit such help.
Further, I question Rep.
Council's right to decide such an
issue for the student body of this
college.
There is only one Rep Coun-
cil office in which a candi-
date's opinions on national is-
sues are of paramount concern.
I do not feel that any other
Rep Council member was elec-
ted because of her political
views in the national realm. How
could she have been? To my
knowledge no such opinions
were asked for or given.
Student Poll
I do not believe that a fair
and correct student opinion, re-
presenting the entire student
body, on national issues can
be achieved through any means
other than a direct student poll.
Perhaps what should concern
us most, however, is the fact
that Rep Council chose to en-
dorse Senate Bill 12 without
more than two or three mem-
bers having read the bill, and
without any knowledge of the
true nature and implications of
the bill.
This type of action can be one
of the most serious threats to
a working democracy, whether
it be the student government
or the national goverment.
I criticize Rep Council for
its recent action solely in hop-
es that its members will more
carefully consider their fun-
ction as a legislative body on
this campus, and in hopes that
issues of this nature will be
more thoroughly discussed and
deliberated if Rep Council does
decide to commit the entire
student body to a particular
political stand.
SUSAN LAND RUM
Rep Council
More Steady
Than Member
Dear Editor:
In regard to the letter to the
Editor of Betsy Anderson last
week.
It appears to me that there is
far less of an inconsistency in
the resolutions passed by Rep-
resentative Council than there
is a real inconsistency in the po-
sitions of Betsy Anderson. Un-
der the imposing title of "Re-
fusal," Rep Council is chas-
tised for its refusal to accept
the "obligation" of electing the
judicial person from Alexander
and choosing instead to have
this person elected by the en-
tire student body through house
meeting voting.
Certainly Rep Council has the
authority to do this, and should
do so if it is impossible to
elect the Judicial Representa-
tive by a direct vote of the stu-
dent body. But why should Rep.
Council take the student's pow-
er of voting directly when it is
feasible to do so in a house
meeting?
Direct Vote
Surely the student has as
much right to vote directly for
this Judicial member ,as she
did in electing the other mem-
bers of Judicial by direct vote.
It seems to me always more
desirable for the individual to
express himself directly rath-
er than through a representa-
tive when it is possible to do
so. Fortunately, a majority of
the Council agreed.
I feci uniquely qualified to
speak on the "Only One" sec-
tion since I am the "Only One"
referred to. It is well In
the rights of Rep Council to re-
flect student opinion on a polit-
ical issue which offers no con-
flict between partisan political
groups on campus. Senate Bill
12 allows tax deducations to
families with members engaged
in higher education and is on a
graduated basis as is the In-
ternal Revenue Code.
This seems to me to be one
issue on which college students
of whatever political coloring
can take a united stand. Other
schools are offering support to
this bill through the organ of
student government as the most
influential body for an intelli-
gent and adequate relection of
student opinion, and I should
hope that Agnes Scott could take
her place with them.
I introduced this bill to Rep
Council on May 4, and asked that
they read the bill, which was
posted on the NSA bulletin
( board, during the week and form
an opinion on the basis of its
knowledge so that Rep Council
could vote on it May 11. It is
absolutely untrue that only one
person, myself, had read the
bill.
Majority Interest
The vast majority of Rep
Council took a concerned atti-
tude and acquainted themselves
with the measure so that they
could take an informed stand,
rather than descry the issue on
a basis of ignorance. The intel-
ligence required to take a po-
sition on any political issue be-
fore the legislature is that de-
manded of any citizen...he has a
duty to inform himself and then
take his stand.
Most of us don't require the
aid of a lawyer for this process.
If this responsibility over-
whelms one person.. .fine. But
don't cry foul to those of us
who can cope with it.
From all indications, Rep
Council is in a healthy state of
consistency of action, taking di-
rect action when it can do so
most effectively, and leaving di-
rect action to the individual
whenever it is feasible.
Betsy fares less well. She
would exercise her power as a
representative when the indi-
vidual can better speak for her-
self, and cry usurpation when
Rep Council seeks to perform
as the representative body
which it is. Justwhois "shirk-
ing the responsibilities of cam-
pus leadership" to which she
was elected.

(ACP) A recent survey of
1,072 leaders in business, edu-
cation and government listed in
"Who's Who" showed that the
majority of these men graduat-
ed from college with only a "C
plus' to "B" average.
This lack of correspondence
between people at the top of
their classes and those who are
leaders 20 years later makes
us wonder just how much grades
will indicate, says the Oklahoma
Daily, University of Oklahoma.
Naturally, some will earn
poor grades from lack of appli-
cation and laziness and some
will earn top grades only
through narrow interests and
exclusion of all other activity.
These are poor reasons for
both extremes.
But equally, one may earn
less than top grades because
he is learning and growing in
other fields, in other abilities
not totally academic.
Sigma Chis
Elect Goode
Sweetheart
Susan Howard Goode, rising
senior from Clifton Forge, Vir-
ginia, is the new Sweetheart of
Sigma Chi at GeorgiaTech. Her
election was announced at the
Sweetheart Formal at Stone
Mountain on last Friday.
Susan is pinned toTech grad-
uating Sigma Chi Bruce Doug-
las. While Susan is serving
as sweetheart Bruce will still
be nearby at Auburn graduate
school. They were pinned her
freshman year.
The senior member of Social
Council will preside at all Sig-
ma Chi functions during the
coming year. She was present-
ed red roses and the sweet-
heart pin at the formal.
Another editor remarked last
week, "Life and human nature
are too complex and varied to be
caught by grades and pinned for
all time, like dead butterflies
in an exhibit case."
These 1,072 and others like
them are those who were not
pinned in a "grades for grades'
sake" cage while in college
and who were able to go on
growing and learning after leav*-
ing colleges and their "only
average" grades behind.
SC Plans Year.
Dance Weekend
Included
Social Council plans to head-
line 1965-66 with two dance
week-ends, January 15-16 and
April 28-29. Both events are
to be jointly sponsored with
Athletic Association. The plans
include an informal discotheque
in the Hub on one night and a
picnic - perhaps with athletic
events followed by a dance
off campus on the next night.
Social Council begins the year
with several activities during
Orientation. Parents and new
students will be received at an
Open House in the Hub on Sep-
tember 17.
On that same night the annual
Fashion Show takes place in
Gaines. This year it is under
the direction of senior Council
member Susan Goode.
Swap Shop with a new look
opens in the Hub on September
20 for three days. The Council
hopes to have more space next
year to facilitate display.
The formal reception is set
for September 22 in the Re-
bekah Reception Room.
Throughout the year Social
Council plans to present its us-
ual movies. There will be also
several bridge parties and Hub
parties.

BY FELICIA GUEST
On Wednesday, May 19, a
group of marauding delinquents
pulled off a daring daylight ca-
per in the hallowed halls of
First Buttrick.
At 4 p.m. Jan Gaskell waltz-
ed into Dr. Alston's office for
a scheduled appointment, which
proved to be nothing but a ruse.
Jan, who already had a record
as long as her arm (Judicial,
Honor Roll, Mortar Board Pre-
sident), was the set-up man for
the theft of Ah-woo the wooden
Indian.
While Jan distracted Dr. Als-
ton's attention, a group of
J. D.'s wearing raincoats, sha-
des, Madeline hats (how subtle)
and brandishing water pistols,
burst into the room.
At this point Jan zipped into
her own disguise as the other
assailants held Dr. Alston at
gunpoint.
"This is a stick-up," they
said menacingly. "We want Ah-
woo," they said alliteratively.
Stunned, Dr. Alston dutifully
led the robbers to the treas-
urer's office where they learned
that the "cause celebre" was in
truth locked up in Laura
Steele's sanctum sanctorum.
The vandals marched Dr. Al-
ston across the hall, where
Mary Beth Thomas and Miss
Steele were interviewing a pro-
spective student and her par-
ents. The group left a watch-
out at the office^door as they
plundered the inner Registrar's
office.
Dr. Cornelius was terroriz-
ed, and forced against the hall
wall at gunpoint. Other inno-
cent bystanders were also
threatened.
Dean Kline walked by and with
quick thinking he sized up the
situation and quietly closed the
door on the somewhat bewild-
ered prospective student and
her parents.
Meanwhile, Miss Steele re-
luctantly opened the safe and
delivered the goods to the thie-
ves.
As the band sped away to the
getaway car (which looked a
whole lot like Susan Landrum's
T-Bird) Dr. Alston called out
instructions as to what the
wooden Indian likes to eat.

THE PROFILE
Seniors,Freshmen Win A A Honors
BY ANN TEAT
From archery to hockey, from
horseback to tennis, whatever
the season, the Athletic Asso-
ciation has been watching the
winners this year. The culmi-
nation of such "winner-watch-
ing" came on Wednesday, May
19, at the A. A. picnic for the
campus community.
The highly coveted Athletic
Cup was won this year by the
class of 1965. Winning the tro-
phy is the result of accumulat-
ing the most class points in
both individual and team sports
this year. Linda Kay Hudson,
senior class president, ac-
cepted the award.
A very excited freshman class
received this year's spirit tro-
phy. Sally Bainbridge, spirit
chairman; Gue Pardue, rising
class president and Alice Zol-
licoffer, past president, accep-
ted the award on behalf of the
"Pop-eyes".
Trophies were awarded to the
classes victorious in each of
the four major sports. The
seniors won both the hockey
and volleyball trophies. The
sophomores won the swimming
trophy; while the freshmen
took first place in basketball.
Seven keys and four discs
were awarded this year. Keys
and discs are A.A.'s award to
students for their participation
in recreational activities. A
girl must have at least 240
points to earn a key, and at least
120 additional points to earn a
disc.

Students Enjoyed
Rubin's Poetry
By Diane Dixon
Tuesday, May 18, Agnes Scott
students had the rare oppor-
tunity of hearing a poet read
his own works.
Larry Rubin of the Georgia
Tech English Department read
some of his poems and discus-
sed them for the students.
Mr. Rubin draws his sub-
jects from his personal ex-
periences. These varied and
colorful subjects range from the
Saturday football crowd to the
stacks at Emory.
Recently he spent a year as
professor of English literature
at the University of Krakow,
Poland. From this experience
came his poem "Souvenir" in
which he tries to portray the
austerity and coldness of Pol-
and in contrast to the warmth
of the people he found there.
Also, Mr. Rubin is a versatile
writer. The tone of his poems
varies from the whimsical in
"A Note on Library Policy"
from his days at Emory Uni-
versity to serious reflections on
death in "The Son, Escaping."
Mr. Rubin has created an in-
teresting poem written in the
style of Emily Dickinson, one of
his favorite poets. He has com-
posed several poems on Emily
Dickinson, including "The
Nun," "At the Birth of a Poet:
Amherst, 1830," and "A Note
on the Morality of Ignoring
Deathbed Requests."
Mr. Rubin gave an entertain-
ing reading. He evinces a sin-
cere love of poetry and a real
feeling for his work.
However the discussion fol-
lowing his reading was sketchy
and rather shallow. Perhaps
this was due to the hour and the
fact that students were exhaust-
ed from an afternoon of work.
Nonetheless Mr. Rubin's read-
ing provided a most enjoyable
and profitable sixty minutes.

Voice In Press For Negroes
Is Goal Of Harvard Editors
Several editors of the Har-

this summer an independent

the "Black Belt."
The purpose of the project is
to give an "honest account of
civil rights activities in the

Dear Sisters,
Though we have been close-
ly involved with you this year
in many activities, we have had
no real opportunity to make
known our sincere affection for
your class or to thank you for
all that you have done for us.
When we entered Agnes Scott
last fall, a little uncertain, per-
haps, of what was to come, you
were sitting on the steps of
Main to welcome us and to make
each one of us feel a part of
our new environment.
Since then we have grown very
close to your class. You have
been friends with whom we
have shared many pleasant ex-
periences. You have been advis-
ors to whom we could turn with
our problems. You have been
the ones to most influence our
attitudes and conceptions of life
here. We thank you for this,
for you have taught u s to
love and honor Agnes Scott.
We thank you for the many tra-
ditions that you have passed
on to us and we thank you for
"Club 65".
We wish you much success
and happiness in the years to
come. We will miss you for you
have been a vital part of our
lives and of the whole campus
community.

Hints Of 1965-66
BY FELICIA GUEST
1964-1965 has been a year of
change and progress at Scott.
In addition to our new Policy
On The Use of Alcoholic Bev-
erages (see PAGE 2 ), Scott
has changed in other ways:
The Lower Dining Hall has
been opened for cafeteria-sty-
led meals, a cozier replica of
the Upstairs Dining Hall.
The Lower Dining Hall is also
opened from 9-11:15 a.m. and
from 7-10:30 p.m. as a snack
bar where students, faculty, and
dates can take an on-campus
break. Coffee, soft drinks, ice
cream, doughnuts, and sodas
are some of the items avail-
able.
Ah-woo
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
Ah-woo was spirited away,
but suspiciously turned up sev-
eral hours later at the Junior-
Senior Banquet.
He was turned over to the pro-
per authorities after the
Banquet.
Among the responsible,
level-headed rising seniors who
confessed to the magnificently-
executed theft were Portia Mor-
rison, Susan Landrum, JanGas-
kell, Bobbie Trammel, Susan
Ledford, and Mary Brown.
Also booked were Virginia
Quattlebaum, Debbie Rosen,
Joan Kiker, Betsy Anderson,
Bernie Burnham, Alice Hopk-
ins, Anne Lane, Bev Allen, and
Malie Bruton.
PLEASE!
For the first time Scott's of-
ficial National Student Asso-
ciation Coordinator was elect-
ed by the entire student body in
the spring student elections.
Linda Lou Colvard will re-
present Agnes Scott as NSA
Coordinator until the elections
next spring.
Hie Scott- Spelman student
exchange early in spring quar-
ter was a most successful and
rewarding experience. Student
Government is already at work
planning along the lines of sim-
ilar exchanges in the near fu-
ture.
This year Scott took steps to
improve the eatingfacilitiesfor
its staff. The area the staff
now uses in the basement of Re-
beckah has been improved for
present use, and plans are
being made to locate a more
suitable eating area for the
staff in the future. The Reb-
ekah Recreational Room is be-
ing considered.
As the Dana Fine Arts Build-
ing nears completion, Scott pre-
pared for next year's emphasis
on the fine arts here on cam-
pus.
A Fine Arts Committee head-
ed by Miss Winter of the speech
and drama department has been
established to coordinate next
year's special events.
From this smattering of var-
ied changes it is clear that
Scott is not standing still. This
year has proved that we are a
vital, alert, and progressive
college community.

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.
AGNES SCOTT COLLEGE
Founded 1889
An independent liberal arts conYge for women of highest rank
academically, located in the Atlanta metropolitan area.
The Board Board, held during
a recent chapel time, answered
a number of student questions
and revealed plans for next
year.
Susan Ledford, Judicial Chair-
man, responded favorably to a
suggestion that handbooks of
other schools and organiza-
tions be available somewhere
on campus for consultation, and
that Agnes Scott send her hand-
book to the other groups in-
volved.
Student Body President Deb-
bie Rosen anticipated Rep Coun-
cil work for next year, particu-
larly in Reorganization. Much
attention will be given the pro-
posals and many things other
than the re-allocation of some
judicial powers considered.
Work on the Atlanta Presi-
dents' Council, not at present
a structured body, will con-
tinue with thought to common
problems and opportunities for
exchanges, such as the Agnes
Scott arts program for next
year. A tentative meeting is
set for the fall.
The Policy Committee, hav-
ing successfully completed
work on the Drinking Policy
change, will turn its attention
to the Apartment Policy. This
was next in line for this year,
but there was not enough time
for its consideration.
More work is planned for a
change allowing sophomores to
keep cars.
President Mary Brown relat-
ed the changes that C. A. will
effect in the fall. Twelve facul-
ty members who, in the C.A.'s
view have "something to say
to die students," have been
chosen to have Vespers for one
week each fall quarter. A dif-
ferent C. A. cabinet member
will also be in charge each
week.
Furthermore, the name Hall
Prayers has been changed to
Complin, from the Latin mean-
ing a tying together at the close
of the day. This name was
picked for being broader in
meaning than Hall Prayers.
Social Council is planning
broad changes for next year,
according to President Betty
Rankin. There will be two
dance weekends, tentatively
scheduled for January, 29,
generally semester break, and
April 16, during elections.
