CA Plans Discussions On Relevant Theology by Judy Nuckols CA Discussion Group Chairman A hushed-up revolution has swept our century. It concerns the role of religion in an in- creasingly secularized world, a world of automation and threat of nuclear holocaust. For many, traditional reli- gion has failed to solve these problems and a search has en- sued for an answer to this secular challenge. Through contemporary literature and philosophy, an attempt has been made to find a relevant theology. Christian Association is spon- soring a series of discussions in an effort to bring these per- tinent issues to our campus. This Sunday afternoon, Miss Pepperdene will speak on T.S. Eliot, as an example of a poet who attempted to deal with these questions. In preparation for the discussion, Miss Pepper- dene has asked that those inter- ested in participating read "Burnt Norton", copies of which will be available in the mailroom. This is to be followed by Dr. T. M. Greene of the philosophy department, whose topic will be "Need We Re-think Our Re- ligious Beliefs and Un-be- liefs." Dr. Green is aware of the sharp division on our campus between fundamentalism and skepticism. He feels that the essential problem is that of re- ligious language and will speak to this issue. Dr. William Mallard of the Emory School of Theology will conclude the series on Sunday, October 24. He will explore the contemporary quest for the his- torical Jesus. All three discussions will be held in the cabin from 3:30- 5:30 and refreshments will be served. Council Plans Interfaith Tea With Ministers On Friday, September 24, from 4-5:30 p.m., a Meet The Ministers Tea will be held on the Scott campus. The tea is under the auspices of the Interfaith Council, which is a committee of Christian Association. Denominations represented on the Council are Methodist, Bap- tist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Catholic, and Episcopal. Ministers or representatives from congregations in which Agnes Scott students worship will be present. The purpose of the tea is to acquaint ministers and students with each other. Dress is casual, and every- body on the campus, including faculty, is invited to attend. Social Council Slates Movie Katherine Hepburn and Cary Grant star in 'The Philadelphia Story", the first Social Coun- cil-sponsored movie of this year. It will be shown this Saturday night at 7:30 p.m. in room 207 Campbell. As an introductory offer to new students (and others), ad- mission is free. With the 8:30 bell this morn- ing Agnes Scott officially be- gan its seventy-seventh ses- sion. Hie largest enrollment in history, 748 old and new students, includes 243 new stu- dents. There are 235freshmen, five transfers and three special students. The freshmen come from schools in 22 states, the Dis- trict of Columbia, France, and Guatemala. The transfers come from Bryn Mawr, Emory-at- Oxford, UNC, Oglethorpe, Baylor, and Vanderbilt. Thirty per cent of the Class of 1969 has been admitted on the Early Decision Plan. Eighteen freshmen are daugh- ters of alumnae, and thirteen are sisters of present students or alumnae. The freshmen include five National Merit Scholars, one of whom is among the 121 Pre- sidential Scholars in the nation. Returning students will no- tice that several changes have Retreat Keynote We Begin To Act: EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is the text of the opening ad- dress at the Camp Calvin Fall Retreat, held last Tuesday through Thursday, delivered by Student Government President Debbie Rosen.) 350 years ago Shakespeare's Falstaff commented, "...It is the malady of not marking, that I am troubled withal." It is time that we too should be troubled. But in spite of Fal- staff, "Markings" may still sound like a strange and esoteric retreat theme and worse, it may sound like a highly inapplicable emphasis for the year. But, if, as VV. H. Auden suggests, "our markings provide our true profile," then it is time that this word be made real and its concrete implications a reality. It is not necessary to pontificate on the definitions of the word marking, for they fall neatly into three categories. Marking de- notes (1) a distinguishing feature or sign by which something is known. It denotes (2 ) a line or object serving to indicate position. And it denotes (3) a target or goal at which one aims. Concurring with these dictionary definitions, a profile, then, would be composed of a montage of three ingredients: our unique function, our present position, and our goals. In short, it raises three questions: what we are, where we are, and where are we going. Traditionally, college students have concerned themselves with the first two aspects of this profile. Individuals and organizations focused their attention on the question of function: who am I, or who are we? The focus then expanded to include position: where am I, or where are we? But our student generation is not the traditional one. It is one that is characterized by action rather than self-analysis, by in- volvement rather than reflection. Today's American student is concerned with the third aspect of his profile: that of goals and of making these goals realities. The question has become what can I do and how can I do it? This shift in emphasis, which makes our student generation a new one, is not difficult to detect for it is characterized by a vi- tality unparalled by past student generations. Students are rest- less, demanding, and eager to participate. They are more con- scious of the world, their influence on it, and their ability to change it. New Jersey students, for instance, were appalled by the low percentage of students in colleges and universities in their state, the third largest in population. They noted that New Jersey is one of the few states which does not provide a broad-based tax for higher education. Last year student leaders in New Jersey col- leges and universities united and formed an organization called C.U.E. They petitioned legislators, they initiated radio and tele- vision series, they staged a symbolic march on the state capitol, and they indirectly encouraged gubernatorial candidates to make the problem of higher education in New Jersey a significant part of their campaign platforms. This student movement has not yet been completed; it will continue on New Jersey campuses through- out the next academic year. But regardless of their success, New Jersey students have shown us one thing: they care, and they care enough to do something about it. They are a part of the vitality of a new student generation. Berkeley students of course held the spotlight last year in the area of student protest movements. Told that they could no longer engage in off-campus political activity on campus, they formed the free speech movement, or the F.S.M. Though relatively small, comprising only about 7% of Berkeley's 27,500 students, the FSM was vocal and active. They demanded to be heard; they demanded channels of communication to the Chancellor where, hitherto, there were none not even for student leaders.. The FSM expanded into CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 been made on the campus over the summer. The lights of Gaines Cottage will shine a- gain after two years of vacancy. The former speech and drama studios in Rebekah have been partitioned into offices and meeting rooms for student or- ganizations. These offices were formerly in Gaines Cottage. Maclean Auditorium has re- upholstered seats, new carpets, and new curtains, and the li- brary has new stacks forperiod- cials. The outstanding change is the Dana Fine Arts Building, under construction since early in 1964. It is now open for classes, and will be dedicated in October. It houses the de- partments of art, speach, and drama. Special features in- clude the Dalton galleries, an outdoor sculpture court and stage, and a 3 10-capacity open- stage theater. BONNIE JO HENDERSON Henderson Ploy, Story Awarded Bonnie Jo Henderson has been awarded an Honorable Mention in the Third Annual Student Lit- erary Magazine Contest, spon- sored by Saturday Review and National Student Association. Her winning short story, "Here I Raise My Ebenezer," was written last year and ap- peared in AURORA. First place in the Outstand- ing Fiction category was won by a Bennington student. Bonnie Jo also won first place in the One-Act Play Competi- tion sponsored by Mademoiselle Magazine. Her play, 'There's Some Milk in the Icebox," will appear in the November issue. Insurance Firm Presents Grant To Agnes Scott Agnes Scott has received a $25 grant from the Connecticut General Life Insurance Com- pany. The money was given under its direct and matching grants program of Aid to Higher Edu- cation. Since 1958 the company has given a total of $358,899 in un- restricted financial aid to pri- vate colleges and universities. p THE 1 ROFILE Felicia Guest Editor Ann Roberts Associate Editor PAGE 2 SEPTEMBER 22, 1965 The New Year Felicitations 1 Still. . .1 guess This year too Will prove only so-so. These lines were written over a hundred years ago by Issa, a Japanese poet, and an uncommonly human man. He understood that most new year's resolutions are broken, and that often we can- not go forward in our endeavors, for it takes all our strength just to hold our present positions. Scores of freshmen are excited about beginning a very big new year here. Over a hundred members of student government, sparked with the enthusiasm and purpose of the Camp Calvin re- treat, envision a year of great change and progress for the campus. We would do well to profit by Issa's rare gift of foresight, for much of what we plan will remain undone, and only the strongest of our resolutions will survive. We will get behind in our studies; we will sleep too little; and our plans will fall apart. Even our greatest efforts to make this year a great one will fall below our intended goals. But for lssa a realistic outlook was not necessarily a pessimistic one. His life was a sad, but he never lost that spark of Will, the vital propellant in any drive forward. This year, perhaps more than ever before, we have that spark of Will to move ahead. It is this spark which will make 1966 a good year, if not a great one. No doubt in the spring we will look back on a year that held some heartaches and failures, but our efforts for progress will show; another year's experience cannot help but make our student gov- ernment and the whole school stronger and better. Will and fore- sight are our keys. Issa's last poem was found under the pillow of his deathbed. There are thanks to be given: This snow on the bed quilt It too is from Heaven. Complin: New Direction For An Old Service Christian Association, under the direction of President Mary Brown and Complin Chairman Lynn Smith, has taken the first steps in what may be a significant change for Scott's ailing, poorly at- tended hall services of worship. What you knew last year as Hall Prayers no longer exists. Evening services of worship on the individual halls, under the di- rection of CA, are now called Complins. Complin is an ecclesias- tical term. It denotes the seventh and the last of the canonical hours of liturgical prayers. In centuries past it has been said or sung after nightfall or immediately before retiring. CA hopes that a change in name will remind the student body that the service itself has new life and new direction. Complins began September 17 and will be held each week. Attend on your hall, and give Christian Association a change to show us that it seeks to offer thoughts on what it means to be a Christian this year, today, in our particular situation.

'FIRST OFF - IA A-Tfl\PIT)0WAU*T. it Point System Stresses Student Participation The annual Student Government Fall Retreat brought a major change in Athletic Association's point system. Formerly, the point system recognized students primarily on the basis of skill and secondly on the basis of participation. The new system reverses these two aspects and emphasizes the student's participation in athletic activities. There will be four awards given: an Agnes Scott pillow for the accumulation of two hundred points, a lavalier for 450 points, a blanket for 700 points, and a plaque for 1000 points. A. A. Board members will be glad to explain the point system procedure to new students. Interested upperclassmen should see Joan Kiker, Ann McClain, or Patty Williams to convert past points to the new system. Points will be given for the following activities: I. MAJOR TEAM SPORTS (hockey, basketball, volleyball) Practice outside class 5/hour Participation on class team 5/game Varsity member 10 Sub- Varsity member 5 II. INDIVIDUAL ACTIVITIES (archery, tennis, bicycling, etc.) Outside class 5/hour Participation in tournament 10 Winner or runner-up of tournament 5 III. CLUBS A. Tennis or Badmitton membership B.

Dietitians Mrs. Robinson and Mrs. Lanier are still with the staff. Mr. Evans replaces Mrs. Hatfield, chief dietitian for Scott who retired at the end of last year. Naith Head is head of the kit- chen staff, and Grover Benja- min is head chef, a position he has held for 28 years. Mr. Evans reports that a major difference in our food service this year that students will notice is that there is a wider range of choice than there has been in the past. He ex- plains that a wider choice elim- inates a lot of wasted food. He urges students not to get second servings until they are sure that they want them; but anyone can have seconds any time they want. Students are free to come to him at any time, he adds, if they have a favorite dish which they would like to have served more often, or if they have any suggestions of any kind for him and for his staff. He says "just tell us if you dislike some- thing." The Lower Dining Hall snack bar will be open Monday through Friday from 9:30-11:15 a.m. and from 7-10 p.m. Lun^h and Dinner will be served in the Lower Dining Hall. Mr. Evans says that he hopes to serve hot dogs later on in the snack bar. There is a grill equipped to handle all kinds of snack sandwiches. He adds that the Lower Dining Hall can also be open on special request at hours other than the regular ones. He says that Campus Chefs Inc. "appreciates being se- lected to serve Agnes Scott College." THE FIRST WEEK is especially busy for Mr. Evans, as he pre- pares the dining hall for the iq 65-1966 session under the auspices of the Campus Chefs. Oglethorpe Gets Grant From HEW Oglethorpe College has re- ceived a grant of $30,132 from the Department of Health, Edu- cation, and Welfare for the 1965-66 college year. The grant is allowed by the government in order to stimu- late and promote the part-time employment of students from low-income families who are in the need of income from such employment to pursue courses of study at the institu- tion. A student can work fifteen hours a week and earn money to continue his education. At Oglethorpe there are sev- eral areas of possible employ- ment, including food service, construction, and secretarial work. THE PROFILE bhKlbMbfcK 22, 1965 PAGE 3 * o Q.

QJ O) -C o u a -2 -2 X o Centorbe Spends Summer In Fashion Marketing Cathe Centorbe, a senior, has just returned to Agnes Scott af- ter serving as a guest editor in New York on Mademoiselle magazine. Her guest editor- ship was in the field of fashion marketing and merchandising. Cathe left May 28 for two weeks in New York, where she "MOCKINGS" FROM RAMON A Dear Mom, Well, my Junior Sponsor was right. I certainly avoided the crowd by waiting for her in the Prayer Room. Unfortunately I also avoided her. After stand- ing for three hours, I went to the Dean's Office and learned that she had been waiting for me at the Piedmont Hotel. We got together then, and af- ter standing in line a grand to- tal of 17 hours, I am REGIS- TERED. In other words, I have written my name and ad- dress three times. Then, on to the course com- mittee. They must have had me confused with someone else. They changed my art, speech, and music to math,, physics, and chemistry. You were right, Mom; I can't get away with seven hours. I'm really pleased with my schedule. It's unusual. It con- flicts only with meals. My service scholarship con- ference with Mrs. Curry prov- ed fruitful. She thought I am rather untalented, so she as- signed me to sweeping the Buttr- rick elevator. After registration, I ran into my roommate. Literally. She was carrying her art supplies up and tripped over my skate board as I came into the room. Cassandra is from Boston. She's never heard of good old Bug Hill, N.C. She dashed out for a date with a boy she met on a picket line and I haven't seen much of her since. The highlight of the weekend was the dance and picnic. It was mostly standing in line, too, but I did meet one neat guy and social life looks pretty good. I'm glad you forced me to read those books, Mom, be- cause when I met Dr. Alston, he asked me about them. I under- stood the panel discussion, too. Classes started today and I'm already behind with 20 hours of work. I must go. Give my love to Dad and Bobby. Take care of Butch. Love, Ramona worked in the magazine offices, made public appearances and store trips, and attended parties given in the G.E.'s honor by New York manufacturers. In the middle of June the guest editors left for Madrid, Spain where they photographed shots for the September issue and did promotion pictures for the magazine. They also went to Toledo on Corpus Christi Day for a relig- ious festival and bull fights. Each guest editor was as- signed to an editor of the maga- zine and given a project for the August college issue. Cathe was involved in the August showing of New York manufac- turers. She also helped backstage in shows and modeled at photo- graphy sessions. The fashion or merchandising editor sits in on shows to accessorize the costumes. She has a whole closet of shoes, bags, hose, etc., from which to select acces- sories. At the first of June the Made- moiselle scene was chosen to be "Campus 1965". The clothes to be featured in the college is- sue were presented in the Hotel Astor, packed with hundreds of New York buyers. After every piece o f the August college mer- chandise had been shown, the clothes were taken back to the showroom. Then the buyers made appointments to see the merchandise. Retreater Urges Communication Of Calvin Spirit Editor, This year's Leadership Re- treat held at Camp Calvin has started the new academic year with enthusiasm on the parts of at least the one hundred girls who attended. If this enthusiasm could be communicated to the student body then this year promises to be the best that Agnes Scott Col- lege has ever had. But the board presidents and members can do nothing, no matter how enthusiastic they may be, without the support and enthusiasm of every student on the campus. This holds true not only for board members but for class officers, editors of pub- lications, and other officers on the campus. This is a student body, not just a body of students. As a body it cannot survive success- fully without each member doing her part. Just as the Bible points out that the church is a member and that some mem- bers do more than others, it al- so points out that the head can- not do its task of coordinating unless the members are able to do their part. Every member of the Agnes Scott campus is able to do her part, however small it may be, to make this a wonderful year. So let's do it, how about itl Susan Aikman A new feature of Mademoi- selle this year was the fashion notebook, compiled primarily to assist incoming freshmen on clothes choices suited to their particular campus. In each city there are tie-in stores which agree to buy the articles shown in the magazine and the notebook. They also agree to present a fashion show in August with Mademoiselle clothes. The store buyers decide what to stock and then order the clothes through the manufactur- er. Then each department of the magazine calls the manu- facturer and requests one New York store and one tie-in store to be credited with the mer- chandise. In Cathe's department the magazine must be represented in showings, and the various stores ask the fashion and mar- keting editors to attend these shows. For the store trips in August, questionnaires are sent to the tie-in stores to see if they would like for a Mademoi- selle editor to present a show. Five of the girls in Cathe's department made store trips. Cathe worked two and a half weeks at Plymouth on Fifth Avenue at 52nd Street. Mademoiselle sends the script oF its own August fashion show along with ideas for scenes to the store. The stores then ar- range for interviews with radio and television for the store as well as the magazine. The publicity department of the magazine selects certain radio and television stations and sends biographies and pictures of the Mademoiselle editor and information on the store where she can be reached. The marketing and merchan- dising editor go on the market, just as the fashion editors do and try to spot trends, as man- ufacturers usually get togeth- er for a certain look for the season. If Mademoiselle sees an idea it gets a manufacturer to cut a pattern to fit the idea. Once in Greece a fashion edi- tor spotted an old man wearing a ribbed sweater his wife had knit for him. The editor bought it for two or three dollars, and in the States a leading knit- wear company transformed it into the now-popular "po boy" sweater. On Cathe's store trip she modeled clothes and answered questions about accessories and clothes for the working girl as well as the college student. She helped to promote hip hangers, bell bottoms, and argyles. The guest editors attended parties almost every night at which they met many personali- ties, including Richard Cham- berlain. They also interviewed Barbara Streisand and John Lindsey, who is running for mayor of New York City. After her guest editorship ended, Cathe stayed at the Bar- bizon Hotel and worked in New York.

KATHY JOHNSON Black Cat Skit Moves To Gaines by Mary Barnett Black Cat Chairman Don't let the secret out, but Black Cat this year is going to be better than ever before. No hints as to the theme, naturally, but the hardworking script committee has a real treat in store for the entire college campus. Soon the freshmen will be choosing their mascot, and the sound of hockey sticks will be heard as the classes battle it out in the big Black Cat rivalry games. After the hockey games the college community is invited to a picnic supper followed by the highlight of the 1965 orienta- tion program the Black Cat skit presentation. The climax of many fun-fill- ed weeks of orientation will take place October 22. The skit will be presented in Gaines this year instead of in the gym. The skit shares honors only with the excitement stirred up by the annual song contest.

After 12 weeks of training at the University of Utah, she has left for Ethiopia. Her group of volunteers will teach seventh and eighth gradei and in the Haile Selassie I School of Business. They will replace Peace Corps teachers who have completed two years of service. Education is the main job of the Corps in Ethiopia. With the arrival of this group, more than 550 volunteers will be teaching there, most of them at the sec- ondary level. About 60 others are at work in health, law, and highway construction. During training, English ma- jor Kathy learned Amharic, the language of Ethiopia, and stud- ied teaching methods. The group practiced their teaching in schools near the training site.

The program is offered at only a few colleges in the coun- try and is aimed at students who have a bachelor's degree in arts or sciences and who want to teach but lack teaching train- ing. The year of graduate study provides the training in educa- tion necessary as well as a master's degree. Panel Ponders Rush Pitfalls At Chapel Hour On Thursday, September 23, a Rush Chapel will be held in Gaines. A panel will answer questions that Freshmen ask about rush, in order to help them avoid pitfalls of rush. All five of the boy panel members are from Tech, since Emory rush has already start- ed. They are Jim Freeman, a Beta, who is President of IFC; Lee Hogan, an SAE, who is Vice-president of IFC; the Rush Chairman of IFC, Bill Viehman (ATO); KA president Hodge Gol- son; and Bob Frank, Sigma Chi president. Penny Penland, chapel chair- man, and Betty Rankin, social council president, will also be on the panel. The program is primarily for Freshmen, but upperclassmen are invited to come and remi- nisce. BLACK CAT OCTOBER 22 FACE 4 SEPTEMBER 22, 1965 THE PROFILE Colvard, Rosen Report NSA Conference Events From August 17 until Sep- tember 2 Debbie Rosen and Lin- da Lou Colvard represented Ag- nes Scott at conferences held on the campus of the University of Wisconsin in Madiso^. ^"scon- sin. The first week that they were' there, Debbie attended the Stu dent Body Presidents' Confer- ence and Linda Lou the National Student Association coordi- nators' Conference. Also that week the United States Student Press Association met at the University. The rest of the time there was spent at the National Stu- dent Congress. Debbie and Linda Lou were in regular at- tendance at the meetings al- though they had to walk two miles from their dorm to the au- ditorium. At the Congress were repre- sentatives from approximately 200 of the member schools of N.S.A. There were also obser- vers from non - member schools . Agnes Scott was the only school from the Great Southeast (Georgia and Flori- da) to be represented. The University of North Carolina was the other major Southern school represented. At the Congress keynote speaker Vice-President Hubert NAN JOHNSON'S father typifies the many weary, longsultering, suitcase-toting fathers of Scotties. Mother Of Five Enters, Seeks Teaching Certificate Freshmen, are you getting used to the rough and tumble of col kge Life? How would you like to lead three lives wife, Agnes Scott new student, and the mother of five children? This though has not stag- gered one special student, Aria Redd, who doubles off campus as Mrs. Bryan Redd. Mrs. Redd is the wife of a thera- peutic radiologist who is in private practice in the Peach- three Medical Building, and mother of children ranging from a six-year -old to twins who are entering the eighth grade this year. This double role is not new to Aria, who is entering with 38 hours from Oglethorpe where she was a part-time student. Although her children have learned to do a lot of things for themselves, she anticipates lack of time as a problem. Aria's first impression of college have been favorable. Her contact with students has been "warm and friendly," and the administration has been es- pecially helpful. No waiting in lines far this special stu- dent, since she has been hand- led separately. An English major, Aria plans to get her teaching certificate; she would like to combine high school guidance counseling with teaching English. Her own plans to return to college began long ago when she enjoyed teaching her own chil- dren so much. Possible gra- duate work is in her future plans also. Formerly a nursing student in Phoenix, Arizona, Aria does not see her educational career as disjointed. Nursing, being a mother, and teaching are re- lated in her opinion, for each is "a giving sort of thing, a close relationship, requir- ing personal contact." Although she's optimistic, Aria's thoughts about entering ASC are far from rosy, unrea- listic idealism. She expects the academic load to be de- manding and forsees a lot of hard work. but she's been encouraged that most Scotties seem serious about their work. "I'm very impressed with the girls, "she comments," they seem con- cerned about life, about people." Humphrey spoke on the Right of Dissent. His major point was that students and citizens not only have the right of dissent, they also have the responsibili- ty of offering constructive so- lutions. Other speakers at the Con- gress were the governor of Wisconsin and the Dean of Stu- dents of the University. The Congress consisted of seminars and study and dis- cussion groups as well as leg- islative sessions. Debbie was a sub-committee leader on the subject of Student Leaders and Social Reform. Linda Lou was in the group on International Affairs - Asia. Debbie and Linda Lou made it a point to attend different meet- ings at all times so as to be able to make a better report to the student body on the overall conference. Agnes Scott had one vote in the legislative sessions, which considered some of the major issues confronting America today. Some of these issues were the Berkeley Resolution, the Viet Nam Resolution, the Apartheid Policies of South Af- rica, and the Communist China Situtation. The Berkeley Resolution was passed with just a small minor- ity against it. Agnes Scott's vote went for this resolution dealing with the Student Free Speech Movement. The Con- gress approved the movement in principle although refusing to endorse some of the means. Linda Lou thinks that the Congress arrived at a respon- sible solution of negotiated peace in Viet Nam, allowing the people to determine their own government without interfer- ence from external forces. Ag- nes Scott voted with the Con- gress on this resolution, also. The Congress voted condem- ning the Apartheid policies of South Africa. Apartheid means "apartness" and is the poli- cy of "strict racial segregation and discrimination against the native Negroes and other color- ed peoples as practiced in the Union of South Africa." Agnes Scott's vote against went with the Congress on this action. Scott also voted for a re- evaluation of the United States' consideration of Communist China. Linda Lou says that through the pooling of specific and rele- vant ideas the campus program here at Agnes Scott can be bene- fited. There are plans to under- go major programs on this cam- pus and for visits from NSA of- ficers, regional directors, and other NSA members. ASC FRESHMAN DERA JONES was so excited about the new Greenbriar Shopping Center that she wanted to help. Dera has done modeling for Penny's and was a member of their College Board. WELCOME FROM JUDICIAL COUNCIL by Susan Ledford Chairman, Judicial Council Judicial Council is happy to welcome all freshmen and new students and would like to give substance to this welcome by extending an invitation to both new and returning students to visit our meetings each Monday afternoon at 5 p.m. in room 106 Buttrick. Judicial Council, which is comprised of representatives from all classes plus the Day Students, now numbers twenty- three. This number will be in- creased by two when the fresh- man class holds its elections in the fall. Under the principles of the Honor System, we handle all minor and major infractions of the policies of the college. Viewing each infraction as an individual and unique case, we function on a completely stu- dent-to-student basis. Judicial Council plans to channel its efforts into three major activities for Fall Quar- ter which we hope will interest, involve, and challenge the stu- dent body as a whole. The first of these is a ser- ies of handbook classes direct- ed toward the freshman class in order to constructively aug- ment knowledge of the Honor System and thus, of the school policies and regulations. Another of our activities will be a mock judicial meeting plan- ned by Poppy Wilson and Lynne Wilkins N and staged for the stu- dent body at 10:30 a.m. Thurs- day, October 7. We plan to give a composite picture of judicial case procedure by means of humorous example. The last of our Fall Quarter activities will be Honor Em- phasis Week, headed by Judy Ahrano. During the week of November 8-12, we plan to have one or two chapel programs, in- formal student discussions, and an emphasis on the why, what, and how of dual responsibility. We look forward to this quar- ter's activities, hoping all will join us in participating in them. Subscribe To The PROFILE Name ...

Rep Council wholeheartedly endorsed this series in planning sessions at the fall retreat, as a means to keep the activities and directions of this legisla- tive grou p before the student body, and as a means for a two-way communication be- tween Rep Council and the stu- dent body. Comments or re- plies to these articles should be submitted to PROFILE edi- tor, Box 719). Retreat Spurs Council To New Vitality by Marilyn Abendroth Student Treasurer I wish that every person on campus could have experienced the excitement of leadership re- treat. The plans and attitudes of each board are amazingly enthusiastic. Because of this vitality at re- treat, I predict a year of thoughtful action and of many realized goals. Yet is to Rep Council's new role that I wish to speak. I feel as though the function and place on this campus of Rep- resentative Council was mark- ed by its actions and plans at retreat. The theme of retreat most uniquely and appropriate- ly pointed this our,. From the text of Debbie Ros- en's speech came the theme of a focus on our "markings", markings denoting in this sense the unique function, present po- sition, and goals of student gov- ernment. Rep Council's unique function can be understood by a look at its history. From formation it was a loose group of diverse people held together by only a poorly attended bimonthly meeting. But because of an increasing concern for the college, Rep Council is beginning to come into its own as a creative, ef- fective, functioning, legisla- tive-coordinative council. This legislative aspect is an espec- ially vital part of our present position. The last aspect of the "Mark- ings" theme is most important to us now. We are now more clearly than ever looking to the goals of making Scott the most profitably educational commun- ity, and to use Dr. Greene's words, of increasing the har- mony between Scott's "older and younger scholars" (facul- ty and students). Rep Council and the boards have been challenged to action, to a consideration of their markings, and to an evolve- ment in the Scott college com- munity. I feel we are all ready to ac- cept this challenge, I hope the student body will be open to our enthusiasm in this, the be- ginning of a great year. WELCOME FROM STUDENT GOVERNMENT by Debbie Rosen President, Student Government On behalf of Student Govern- ment Association and Repre- sentative Council, I would like to welcome you to our enlarged campus and to what I hope will be a most exciting and stimu- lating year at Agnes Scott. This year student government is steering away from the analy- tical approach. Cognizant of students' desire to participate and the wide range o f student in- terests, we are attempting to provide a broad spectrum of activities. These structured programs are the publicized aspect of student government and it is therefore not necessary to pon- tificate on them here. But there is still another more subtle function of student government. This relatively dormant aspect of student gov- ernment has finally raised its head and recognized its rela- tion to the academic commun- ity. This means, in part, our re- sponsibility to create an at- mosphere on campus that will foster spontaneity and creativi- ty, that will give Agnes Scott the kind of vitality m and out of the classroom that will make all aspects of our life here a uniquely rewarding and educa- tional experience. Reo Council, as the hub of student government, has dis- covered that it must be on its toes as much as the dance group in order to involve itself 'in campus life and keep abreast of student interests and con- cerns. It is at this point that your cooperation becomes impera- tive if we are to maintain an effective representative, self- governing organization. I would urge each of you, as members of student govern- ment, to come to our meetings Tuesday at 5 p.m. and partici- pate in the discussion and de- bate. Agnes Scott should have an informed and participating student community and this is one way in which this goal can be effectively realized. I would urge you also to a creativity and a spontaneity that will make our life on this cam- pus an ever enriching and fe- warding experience.

Campus Organizations Welcome Agnes Scott's 1965-66 Students MORTAR ROARD by Jan Gaskell President, Mortar Board returning students to provide opportunities for the manifes- tation of the talents possessed by the newcomes, Finally, and actually of first importance, we feel that it is fitting to urge everyone, old and new, freshmen and upper- classmen, students and faculty, to recognize the place of acade- mics and to give primary at- tention to them. The essential life of the col- lege is the life of the mind, a life which is not limited to the classroom, but can be found in lectures, in planned and un- planned discussions, and in numerous daily relationships. It is with anticipation that the 1965-66 chapter of Mortar Board welcomes students to the college, especially the class of 1969. The prospect of some two hundred and thirty new faces and the thought of all the new ideas and interests which will be felt on the campus in the coming months is both exciting and challenging. The nine members of Agnes Scott's chapter of Mortar Board, a national society of sen- iors selected on the qualifica- tions of scholarship, leader- ship, and service, have several hopes for this year. We hope first that each student realizes that she is a vital part of Agnes Scott College and that each will enter enthusiastically into any 6f the various campus activities in which she has a particular interest. One challenge for every new year is that of involving the new students who have a great deal to offer. We would therefore urge new students to seek with- out hesitation ways of entering into the life of the college; at the same time, we would urge [ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION by Joan Kiker President, Athletic Association The intellectual atmospnere of Agnes Scott is one of Mortar Board's growing concerns. It is up to each individual to stim- ulate herself in order that the atmosphere of the college be in- vigorating and challenging. Mortar Board welcomes the student body with the hope that this year can be a n exceptional one, one of opportunity for par- ticipation of all and one of in- tellectual fervour and vitality. I would like to extend an of- ficial welcome to you, the Agnes Scott student body, on behalf of Athletic Association. You have been constantly in our thoughts for the last five months in preparation for a new and vital year at Agnes Scott. I hope that you will not just consider A. A. as **the place where I can buy my sweatshirt and blazer" (though this helps I), but rather, consider A. A. as a chance to enter into an activity because you love doing it; i.e., for funl All projects that A. A. spon- sors are for your enjoyment. As you take time out from the in- tellectual "meeting of the minds" remember that there is a time for play. Hockey, tennis, archery, golf, and a class swimming meet are on the calendar for Fall Quar- ter, sports-wise. But we urge you to ride bicycles (found in the basement of Campbell), take hikes (perhaps through the new Dana Fine Arts building), come to hub parties, bonfires, etc. In short, relax I This year Athletic Associa- tion will use profits from sweat- shirts and blazers to buy the first pool table for the hub. Agnes Scott blazers are on sale today from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the gym. They are available in white, light grey, charcoal, and navy. Also this year, A.S.C. sweat- shirts will come in an assort- ment of colors: white, navy, yellow, powder blue, and bur- gandy both long and short sleeved. Other A. A. activities to look for include ice skating and bowl- ing parties, first aid demon- strations, a self-defense course (which we hope you will not need, but you never can tell? 1), and a Red Cross blood drive in the Spring. Athletic Association encour- ages you to become aware of our activities, then to become involved with us in them so that a new vitality and spontaneity may be made real through A. A. on the Agnes Scott campus. SEE OTHER WELCOMES ON PAGES FOUR AND FIVE CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION by Mary Brown President, Christian Association The purpose of the Agnes Scott Christian Association is to make the essence of the Christian faith relevant to stu- dents in the twentieth century. All students are invited to par- ticipate in its program of wor- ship, discussion and service. A new series of discussion groups, "The Religious Reve- lution," has been planned for fall quarter. These provide an opportunity for serious dis- cussion of the problems of re- ligion in the modern world. Another innovation is found in Complin, a Latin word mean- ing completion and the last hour of the day, which is the new title for hall prayers. The Christian Association Representatives on each hall, in addition to being responsible for Complin, will be members of House Council. In this new capacity they will be expected to work with the council in mak- ing the dorm a more harmon- ious and happy living area. One of the most challenging fields tor unristian Associa- tion is in the field of service and relations. Our projects include tutoring in culturally deprived areas of Atlanta, working with children in hos- pitals and homes, visiting with the aged, and specific work in the field of race relations. Early in October all students will be given the opportunity to become involved in this com- munity. Tuesday chapels, sponsored by C. A., bring a variety of speakers from the Atlanta com- munity to the Scott campus. New plans for Vespers include selected faculty members lead- ing them for a week at a time. On Oct. 3 Dr. Alston will lead the campus in observance of World-Wide Communion Day. Concern with vocations, world-awareness, and inter- collegiate meetings also com- prise C.A.'s program. The Cabinet, which leads the Association, meets every Mon- day at 7 p.m. on the first floor of Rebekah. Visitors and their suggestions are welcome. On behalf of Christian As- sociation I would like to extend my welcome to the class of 1969. We anticipate an exciting year, and are glad you are already a part of it. SOCIAL COUNCIL by Betty Rankin President, Social Council Social Council Board has al- ready begun its activities for this year to welcome the fresh- men and provide social events and services for the upper classmen with the Open House, the Fall Fashion Show, "Swap Shop," and the Formal Recep- tion. The board is now very excit- ORIENTATION COMMITTEE by Ginny Finney Orientation Chairman Since nearly all the activities of orientation are now over, it may seem a little unnecessary to "welcome" the class of '69. But I think that you will find that all the events we have planned as an introduction to Agnes Scott are not your real welcome into the life of the col- lege. In spite of all that we try to do to make it as natural as possible, the orientation pro- gram must give a slightly arti- ficial-and necessarily idealiz- ed-picture of college life. Your real welcome will take place when you have fallen into the routine of living, and not just visiting, here. If your impression of life at Agnes Scott is that every mom- ent will be blissful, then you are no more a part of the college than the person whose every moment here is miserable. This week we have tried to give you an overall view of what this college can give to you. Yet it is only when you realize what the college will demand of you and when you decide what you will give to it that you will have made yourself truly wel- come. Looking forward to what you as a class and as individuals will mean to Agnes Scott, we can say how glad we are that you have come. ed about and beginning to put into effect plans for the rest of the year. Our plans range from Saturday night films to bridge parties, from an interior decoration demonstration to a bingo game, from a fire-side chat on "The American Wo- man" to a table setting contest, from a male discussion of the "Ideal College Girl" toa "sil- ly movie" party in the Hub. We are also looking forward to two big dance week ends this year and hoping to encourage more and better mixers on cam- pus by working with the var- ious classes. Our board is composed of twelve members: four officers, two representatives from each class, and a reporter and a pub- licity manager. These twelve are always open to your advice and criticism concerning social activities^at our school. It is for you, all members of the Social Council of Agnes Scott College, to let us know what you want, what you expect, and what you will attend in the way of social events on the campus. We feel that this is going to be a year packed full of fun and excitement and are anxious to do our part to make it just that.

One reason, according to Paul Weiss, Sterling Professor of Philosophy at Yale, is that there is a "new breed of 'non-philoso- phical philosophers!." "These philosophers consider themselves 'professionals' who speak only with one another and try to solve puzzles instead of dealing with the full problem. Thsy are playing games of academic charades I" This failure to communicate has boomeranged, in the opinion of Professor Weiss, to the point where philosophers have little status and less influence in contemporary American life. Who are asked to give answers to questions asked by a worried and tense American Public? The politicians, the psychiat- rist, and even the clergy, but rarely the philosophers, Pro- fessor Weiss cusingly. points out ac- New Grading System Gives Truer Picture The "new breed'* of philoso- phers is also cheating college students, in his opinion. "More than ever before, students are asking questions about life and society, but they don't get ans- wers from philosophers who won't discuss seriously any subject outside their speci- alty," he says. Religious leaders are also failing these students in a different way, Professor Weiss says. He feels that college chaplains across the country are prescribing "crusading ac- tivity" as the answer to all question. "When a student has a serious question or doubt abuut life, the clergy tells him to rush off and do civil rights work down South or join the Peace Corps. Too much ac- tivity and too little thinking can be disastrous." Albion Mich.-(I.P.)-A new grading procedure incorpora- ting intermediate achievement levels will be introduced at Albion College beginning with the 1965 fall semester. The institution's faculty also voted to replace the three-point grad- ing system with a four-point index. The new grading proce- dure will include the marks of A, AB, B, BC, C, CD, DE, and E. "Grade points will be assig- ned to the intermediate marks, thus reflecting a truer account of the student's performance of the student's performance," said Dr. Robert P. Lisensky, academic dean. "Pluses and minuses, awarded by some fac- ulty , do not affect the stud- ent's grade point average in any way, nor do they appear on his final transcript," he added. "Under the new system, a student doing B plus work will receive an AB grade and a grade point of 3.5." The over- all grade point average required f or graduation will be 2.0. A 2.25 average will be required in the major field. Hearn Jewelry Co., Inc. 131 Sycamore St. China - Crystal - Sterling Silver - Watches - Diamonds Watch & Jewelry Repair 377 5133 Decatur, Ga .

The campus site will be occupied by "cluster re- sidences" rather than the tra- ditional uOT JIJ. The cluster residence will house units of 16 students, in eight rooms around a lounge and bath. The master plan utilizes theconceptionof academic cen- ters as the logical fulfillment of the liberal arts college. The "cluster residence" is in effect, a revival of the Oxford tradition with each cluster of students having similar and compatible interests. Conceiv- ably, units could be made up of advanced language students, and the intim y would provide a more cons: tent atmosphere for the informal exchange of ideas which is the basic con- cept of residence living. The resident system has been started at the University of California at Irvine, and Pe- riera and Associates are pre- sently preparing final plans for the Occidenial dorm. Designed for 150 students, the dorm will be about sixty per cent men and forty per cent women. The cluster units will be connected to a central lounge serving both men and women. In fall 1966, when it will be opened for residence, the dorm will probably be limit- ed to upperclass students with major interests in language. Although dorms are presently unfilled, the Men's Residence Council is re-evaluating the present requirements for off- campus living. The result will probably be a return to the po- licy stated in the catalogue of total residence of all fresh- man and sophomore men. In the past few years, the Deans have been forced to make ex- ceptions because of the over- flow student residency. Don't forget... every litter bit hurts Dad! Mom!

KEEP AMERICA BEAUTIFUL Published as a public service in coop- eration with The Advertising Council. a protest against the "machine," that is, against the impersonal quality of a mass education. They wanted to be individuals, not numbers on IBM cards. They wanted real professors, not tele- vision lecturers. And they cared; they cared enough to do some- thing about it. As one Berkeley student said, "We're happening." These two incidents are only a small indication of the vitality on American campuses, campuses in which students ire happening. In order not to be misunderstood, I should point out here that I believe that what happens on another campus is not necessarily relevant or even right for Agnes Scott. But the vitality and the commitment which is characteristic of today's student world is relevant to Agnes Scott College. This vitality and concern is manifested in different ways on different campuses ranging from the legal and constitutional rights of students to the right of the editor to print freely, from due process to in loco parentis, from student films to academic freedom. The messages rising up from today's American colleges is not always clear, but it is loud. Our student generation is a vocal and active generation. It rep-* resents a new student, one who cares, one who wants to do and be and find out how. How does Agnes Scott stand in relation to the new student gene- ration? jLJs obvious from past retreat themes such as Focus, Identity,, and Perspective that we have dealt with the traditional questions, with the first two aspects of a full profile. Years of dissection and structural analysis have preceded us. Concrete goals and the fulfillment of these goals have taken second place to self-analysis, and they have consequently been forgotten. It is not necessary for me to comment on the lack of vitality that has thus become almost the characteristic of our campus. Yet the analysis that has been done was necessary; it was a necessary precondition for the kind of emphasis we COULD have this year. In a subtle and undynamic way, we can begin to make Agnes Scott the kind of school we thought it was before we came here. But there will be no great renaissance overnight. We can only begin, but we can do that. In evaluating our year, we may feel that we have done little. But if we can say at the conclusion of this year: "Agnes Scott is not only a school WITH promise, it is a crete plans and with an excitement that will generate outward and pervade the campus, the we will have done our part.

I would challenge you to become concerned with and involved in the great issues of our day as well as the more parochial issues and programs on the Agnes Scott campus.

Danish Visitor Studies Psych; Likes Warm Nights, Big Stitches One of the newcomers whose name you've probably mis-pro- nounced is Ingebord Bojsen from Naestved, Denmark. "So many people have tried to pro- nounce my last name, some- times I can't pronounce it when they ask," she commented. It's really not so hard In- ga-bor Boisen is how it sounds, and she's been conviently nic- named Inge. A psychology major, Inge is taking sociology, art apprecia- tion, English, and dance, along with an upper level psych course. Q: "Will you get full col- lege credit for this year?" A: "Not quite. I'm taking psychology, but not as much as I would at home. In our system you go through and just take courses in your major. We don't have liberal arts col- leges." Inge will return to the University of Copenhagen in Spring. She sDeaks English very proficiently having studied seven years. Q: "How does Atlanta com- pare in size to your hometown?" October 22 A: "Naestved has about 25,000 inhabitants. I like At- lanta very much because of all the possibilities to go to thea- tre, movies, concerts." About shopping, Inge's reaction was that of any shopper: "I 've been to Rich's and it was do big I couldn't find my way aroundl" Inge enthusiastically com- mented on the weather. "I like especially your warm nights you can go without a thick coat and warm things around your hair." Q: "What's this I hear about you and Clair making curtains for your room by hand- did you?" A: "yes," she laughed, "but we made them with very big stiches!" She and Clair Gaines, a junior from Atlanta, are ro- oming in Sturgis. Commenting on the friendliness she's en- countered, Inge said, "I think it is very typical of the South- ern people." Q: "What about your social life in Denmark is it very different from our own?" A: "Yes, quite different. What we have is not really a dating system. It's not nearly so organized as it is here." Inges's year at Scott is being financially sponsored by the Decatur Rotary Club. She is here under the auspices of the Institute of International Education, which placed her at Agnes Scott. Phi Beta Kappa Scholar Boas To Make Honors Day Address Phi Beta Kappa Visiting Scho- lar George Boas will be on the campus October 4-6. Dr. Boas is professor of phi- losophy, emeritus, at The Johns Hopkins University. He will lecture Monday, Oct- ober 4, to the Philosophy 313 class at 12:10. Also on Monday he will meet with the Phi Beta Kappa executive committee. Tuesday he will make a tele- vision appearance, and that night will give his public lec- ture at 8:15 in McLean. The topic will be "Philosophy and Common Sense." He will address the Honors Alstons Visit Mansfield, Tour British Landmarks Dr. and Mrs. Alston have recently returned from an eight week pleasure trip through the British Isles. At Mcinsfield College at Ox- ford the Alstons turned the tables and lived in a campus dormitory. Dr. Alston attended two seminars in theology there. The seminars featured such renowned scholars and lectures as J.A.T. Robinson, author of Honest to God, D.T. Niles of Ceylon, and C.H. Dodd, the New Testament scholar. During their stay at Mansfield College the Alstons made a weekend trip to Coventry. A key English industrial city, Coventry was devasted by German air attacks during World War 11. The present modern Anglican cathedral is built around the shell of the bombed out cathedral. Dr. Alston says that Coventry has inaugurated a unique program of layman worship services. This new typs of service creates a more per- sonal and meaningful relation- church. Also the people of Coventry have established a liaison with the people of Dresden, Germany which was similarly destroyed by exchanging gifts as symbols of their Christian brotherhood. After leaving Oxford the Al- stons acquired a red Ford An- glia and traveled leisurely across the English countryside. They visited Cornwall, the le- gendary land of King Arthur, and Shakespeare's home at Stratford among other places. In studing some of their favorite English authors, the Alstons visited the prison where John Bunyan was held and the village church which exerted a strong influence upon him. The home of the Brontes at Haworth was a highlight of the trip. The house, isolated on a wind-swept nil, in the moors recreated for the Alstons the feeling of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre, Scotland, the land of Sir Walter Scott, Thomas Carlyle, Robert Louis Stevenson, and Robert Burns,, was their next stop. In order to become closer to the Scotland of the past the Alstons stayed in 15th and 16th century inns. Before returning home the Alstons attended a part of the music festival at Edinburgh. The festival held at St. Giles Cathedral was a service of praise and thanksgiving by people of many cities and nat- ions. At the end of their stay in Edinburgh and the British Isles the Alstons attende d per- formance of M.ihler's Eight . Symphony by the Scotch National Symphony and the National Chorus. Day Convocation on Wednesday speaking on "Enemies of Edu- cation." Dr. Boas' degree include B.A. and M.A. from Brown Univer- sity; M.A., Harvard; Ph. D., University of California; L.L. D., Washington and Lee Univer- sity, University of New Mexico; L.H.D., Washington College, The Johns Hopkins University. Before joining the faculty of John Hopkins he was instruc- tor of forensics at the Univer- sity of California. Dr. Boas has been a trustee of the Baltimore Museum of Art, a member of the Institute of Advanced Study, a fellow of the Center of Advanced Stu- dies at Wesleyan University; and a member of several as- sociations of philosophers.

Foster Finds Paris Life Bearable Despite Reports by Bunny Foster DANISH SPECIAL STUDENT ^nge Bojsen smiles at Scott and the United States in gen- eral. "Oh, I didn't like Paris, " everyone told me before, during and after my stay there this summer. Somehow they still have not convinced me that life in Paris is unbearable , and I am still enthusiastic about all that I learned and saw there in the six weeks that I studied art at the American Center for Students and Artists this summer. Survival is no easy job in Paris if one lives, as twenty- five of us did, a little off the beaten track in a non-English speaking neighborhood. We stayed at the Maison des Etudiantes, a kind of international student boarding house hosted by two members of that famous breed of Paris ien, the concier- ges, whose main concerns were to control with a steady hand the incoming mail and clip from it any stamps for which they might get a good price at the bookstalls, and to see that we took no more than three showers a week. In the studios we were wonder- fully suspended between French and American ways of life. Our professors - were American, but the influences on our work were (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4) Student Government Group To Convene On Scott Campus Art is not creation but selec- tion and synthesis. The writer, painter, musician, dancer seems to create a world in his work. But in reality, the artist se- lects thoughts, characteristics, colors, forms, tones, rhythms, movements from the universe about him and m about him and combines them in RE-cr^ating that which he calls his work of art. Science works with the ob- servable facts, selecting and combining observations to bring order and meaning to our knowledge. Perhaps it is on the verge of "creating" life from certain elements we can control. The artist's act of creation, the scientist's discovery of a theory, the prospect of re- creating of life produce a tremendous thrill in the hu- man being. An artist or scientist usually feels that his work of syn- thesis is the result of inspira- tion from outside himself. What would be the power of a Force or Being who created anything, even if it was a tiny force or substance from which all else would grow, where nothing had existed before! The Southern Intercollegiate Association of Student Govern- ments (SIASG) will hold its 51st annual conference on the Agnes Scott campus next April. SIASG is a federation of wo- men's student governments which founded in 1914. Dele- gates come from sixteen col- Atlanta, Ga. -(I.'P)-Emory University will begin a pro- gram this fall in which stu- dents can earn a Ph.D. de- gree in chemistry only six years after entering college as a freshman. Initiation of the program coincides with a major cur- riculm revision within the Em- ory College which will allow students more leeway in course work during their senior year. This change will mean that stu- dents participating in the com- bined chemistry program will be able to start graduate work as seniors. Emory would not have con- sidered a combined program in chemistry several years ago, but students are now coming to college better and better pre- pared in science. At Emory, the improve leges in eleven states. Each year at the convention officers who run the associa- tion are elected from the dele- gates present. Last year's conference was held in Abing- don, Virginia and from 70 to 100 delegates attended. 1965-1966 officers represent ment in preparation is dramati- cally illustrated in mathematics where approximately 100 fresh- men now take calculus each fall. This subject was formerly a junior course. A major factor behind the ac- celerated program is the grow- ing realization that education is a continual process. A steadily increasing number of students go on to one or two years of post-graduate work (largely research) following their doc- torate. The combined under-gra- duate-graduate program will enable superior students to move more rapidly through the Ph.D degree; saving two years which can be used in post- graduate work. Tennessee Tech, Judson Col- i lete, Merer, and Coker Col- lege. Judy Ahrano, who with Su- 1 san Ledford attended the 1964- 65 convention is very excited i about the convention for this year. "Agnes Scott has be- longed to SIASG for a long time and has never had the convention on her campus." Judy believes that Scott has a lot to add to SIASG and hopes that people on campus will get interested in it. Although we have only two voting delegates, anyone can sit and listen. Several Scott people have been prominent in SIASG. Mon- key Lee (class of 64) was Pre- sident of the 1963-64 associa- tion. The senior resident of Main, Miss Mary Currie, was also president while she was at Queens. At present the main func- tion of the Association is to hold the yearly convention and exchange ideas and problems of and about student govern- ments. The convention is also a kind of leadership convention since each school usually sends its highest officers president of the student body and chairman of judicial to talk about their problems and responsibilities as leaders. Judy reports that there are many uptapped funds in the SIASG which could be useful. "In fact, the whole associa- tion is an untapped resource there are many problems (such as integration) that it could be working with."

Felicia Guest Editor Ann Roberts Associate Editor PAGE 2 SEPTEMBER 29, 1965 Sound And Fury For freshmen, Black Cat will be an entertaining pageant, full of the sound of well-rehearsed contest songs and the fury of the first hockey game. Signifying nothing? Just the opposite. It will be their own special investiture. With the traditional handling over of the Black Cat to their class president, they will offically belong to this student body. For upperclassmen, Black Cat will be the culmination of a great deal of hard work. It will be theexecutionof a complex plan which has been growing and taking shape since last spring. It will mean back to class songs, costumes, and hockey sticks. Black Cat, freshmen, is an old tradition at Agnes Scott. In 1936 each class had a stunt in the fall, and the winner of this competition was awarded a small porcelain black cat. In 1946 the freshmen and sophomores competed in dram a productions. Hie winner was allowed to add a small silver bell to the chain around the cat's neck. 1951 marked the return to competitive stunts, and in 1962 Black Cat took on its present form. The sophomores, juniors, and seniors present skits, and the freshmsnpresent a tal- ent show. On Black Cat Day, the upperclassmen will meet the Class of 1969 on equal ground for the first time. We will challenge your prowess at hockey, and at musical composition. We will entertain you with an elaborate spoof on life at Scott, and you will entertain us with your own special talent. The Class of 1969 will have an important part in Black Cat. You will have your own "cats" on the bill, your own hockey team, you own talent, your own song. You, too, will sing the year song. Black Cat is a collossal amount of work, just for the upper- classmen to say "Welcome Freshmen" for the last time. We think it's worth it. It's worth it because we want you to be one of us, and at Black Cat we let you in on many of the jokes and many of the traditions that describe our common ground, soon your common ground. It will be a big day. I don't think I'd swap it for a football weekend. If you enjoy this day-long furor over Le Chat Noir as much as we do, you WILL belong. pRSFession-- STDOEnT AX- P. ...In conjugation two cells of different mating type pair.

This innovation should prove popular with students who us- ually find their schedules too crowded to sample courses in other fields taught by profes- sors deemed outstanding by the campus "grapevine." The series grew out of the Union's Student-Faculty Com- mittee which seeks to improve out-of-class relationships be- tween students and faculty members. It was also inspired by students who felt there was a need to provide an open fo- rum for many academic dis- ciplines. For the most part, lectures are scheduled in the Union in the late afternoon to avoid con- flicts with regular scheduled classes. Since the invited spea- kers present material they nor- mally give in their own class- rooms, they do not have to pre- pare special notes.

Those who have been around Scott for many years tell us that never before have students prized this honor so highly. Today's awarding of the Scholarship Trophy to the Class of 1966 does not mean that the senior class includes the students with the highest l.Q. ratings or with the most intelligence. It means that somewhere, early in the college career of this class, a spark of scholarship, a spark of the deep satisfaction of learn- ing, caught fire and spread through a class. This class's dedication to learning was monitored in the gradebooks, and then symbolized in the Scholarship Trophy. Farbeit from me, a true- to-the-Golden-Mean, medi- ocre student, to brag on myself. lam praising the ac- complishments of my sisters who prize the mastery of a small part of all there is to learn. This trophy will be one of the brightest memories that the Class of 1966 will take away with them in June. This mem- ory, this record which the senior class has made, is a permanent one, rooted in the good minds of many stu- || dents. The members of the Class of 1966, and students like them, in one sense will win scholarship trophies in the future each time they close a book with the satis- faction of knowing that their minds are still growing, lMmffimm&z< , mm am s --.

ASC Junior Kelly Was Playboy Bunny By Justic ''I'm Rabbit-Happy, I guess. I just loved it," is junior Madeline Kelly's summary of her summer as a bunny at the New Orleans Playboy Club. Despite the "crazy hours" (7:30 p.m. til 4:00 a.m.), and having to wear three inch heels, Madeline liked her summer so well she plans to go back next summer. The experiences and working conditions of a Bunny are unique. A Bunny is thoroughly train- ed before starting to work. Dur- ing a week's training she learn- es many tilings, such as how to recognize the different keys, since the club is a private key " club. She learns the Bunny stance and the Bunny Dip. The dip is the unique posi- tions from which Bunnies serve the tables. With her back tc the customer, she arches her back and reaches over and ser- ves. "It's comfortable," Mad- eline explains, "since it's hard to bend in the costume. It's easy for balance, onceyoulearn it there's no strain. It's fun." One of Madeline's favorite things about the work is having a chance to get to know the en- tertainers. During the sum- mer the club had a variety of stars such as Al Belletto and his jazz quartet. Wick and Brand comedy team was a high- light. Known for their appear- ances on the Johnny Carson show, they're "two of the nicest commedians you could ever meet," recalled Made- line. "They left something to the imagination. They we re nice on-stage and nice off-stage." Bunnies work on a merit and demerit system, based on cour- teous service to the customers. 100 merits which Madeline earned was worth $25 extra. Each one girl is selected Bunny of the Week for excellent ser- vice; the title, which Madeline earned twice, is worth 25 mer- its and choice of schedule. One of the hardest parts of the job was learning how to carry the tray on one hand. Some- times the tray can weigh up to 35 or 40 lbs. "It's hard work, quite an experience." The Bunnies are known to be very well protected from im- pertinent customers. In each room is a room director they may complain to if a customer is insulting after being warned by the Bunny. "You learn to ignore things," Madeline re- calls. "If I didn't want to hear, I could just cut it out you know?" Under no circumstances may a Bunny date a key holder (a customer). There is a rule too that a customer may never touch Decatur Co- Op Cabs 24 HR. SERVICE Radio Dispatch Call DR 7-1701 DR 7 -3866 e Waldrop a Bunny under any circumstan- ces. Madeline says the most trouble is from women who want to find out the material of the tail or of the "shell" as the outfit is called. The fluffy white tail is a prob- lem: it must be white and fluf- fy as cotton candy all the time. After it's been washed, it takes over an hour to comb it out. Madeline set it with spray netl "Your crowning glory is your tail," she said, laughing. Madeline was especially pleased when customers re- turned to the club and requested her as their waitress.

Now , there will be people who recognize the unique-task quality of life, and who wish to actualize its concrete, singular situational values, but who still consider their personal situation "hopeless," We must ask ourselves first of all: -What does hopeless mean? After all, man cannot predict his future. Because man cannot prophesy, he can never properly judge whether his future will contain possibilities for the realization of values. But no man is justified in insisting upon his own inadequacies that is, in demeaning his own potentialities. No matter how discontented witli himself a person may be, no matter how sternly he sits in judgement upon himself the very fact that he is doing so proves that he is not so poor a creature as he thinks he is. The man who judges himself harshly has caught sight of a value and is taking part in the world of values. The task a man has to accomplish in life is at bottom always present and in principle always within man's power. Existen- tial analysis accordingly is designed to help the individual comprehend his responsibility to accomplish each of this tasks. The more he grasps the task quality of life, the more meaning- ful will his life appear to him. While the man who is not conscious of his responsiblity simply takes life as a given fact, existential analysis teaches people to see life as an assignment. The question of that assignment makes sense to a person only if he asks it in reference to a concrete situation and to his con- crete personality. It would be ethically erroneous and psychologi- cally morbid for him to take it into his head to perform an act of "supreme" value, instead of modestly "attempting" to do his best. That he must aim at the best is imperative; otherwise his efforts would come to nought. But at the same time he must be able to content himself with nothing more than approaching nearer and nearer, without ever quite attaining his goal. These remarks on the question of the meaning of life come down to a radical criticism of the question as such. It is life itself that asks questions of min u It is not up to man to ques- tion; rather, he should recognize that he is questioned, ques- tioned by life; he has to respond by being responsible; and he can answer to life only by answering for his life.

For many years Scott stu- dents have found these projects a good way to become active in the Atlanta community, to get experience working with people of all ages and frcm different backgrounds, and to get out and do some good (and get their minds off studying). Interest sheets for these pro- jects were delivered through the local mail Tuesday. Train- ing will begin this week with leaders from many of the places involved coming out to talk with the students. The pro- jects include the Fulton County Juvenile Home, the Methodist Childrens' Home, the Mary Eli- zabeth Rest Home, the Scottish Rite Hospital, Sheltering Arms Nursery, Tutorial and Girl Scouts. Tutorial, headed by Carol Ro- bertson, offers the student a chance to work with one indivi- dual child once a week all year. The tutor may choose the day of the week that she is able to go. Many students feel that they are not experienced to tu- tor, but there is training avail- able so there is no need to worry. Another project which allows the student to work with an individual is that at the Me- thodist Children's Home. Here thodist Children's Home. Here, headed by Carol Scott, is a weekly program such as that at tutorial. Besides the weekly program the Children's Home is in need soon of some- one to work with music at the home and maybe organize a choir. There Is also a need for a den mother for Cub Scouts. This would take approximately one and a half hours a week. Other possibilites include working in the field of athletics, dramatics, or home economics. In the latter there is the chance of creativity in teaching a class in cooking or sewing. Barbara Dowd is the chair- man of the Girl Scout project. Girl Scout leaders are need- ed for underprivileged areas and there is also a need for assistants in troups in the De- catur area. The Girl Scout office also wants some girls to help maybe in writing some publicity material of skits and some others who can do some art work. Sheltering Arms is a day nursery where children go after school. It is for the children from underprivileged areas whose parents work in the day- time. This proiect. headed by Betty Ann Boyd, involves going to the nursery and playing with the children. It may later de- velop into a kind of tutorial project, too. The Scottish Rite Hospital is a children's hospital deal- ing specificallv with orthonerlir problems (congenital birth de- fects.) Girls working here go once a week on Saturdays for about an hour and cheer up the patients. This is the hospital that is benefited by theThanks- (continued in next column) SEVERAL CHANGES HAVE BEEN made in the library this year.

Motley Crew Flocks To Bob Dylan Concert It was worth the price of my ticket to see the audience a true cross-section of Ameri- can youth, filling about 65% of the auditorium. There was one pink chiffon cocktail dress, se- veral Courreges, and as many collegiate "uniforms" as wheat jeans and T-shirts or wind- breakers. I almost felt over- dressed without hair to my j>vaist. *) But the people were only the sideshow. At last the lights dimmed and onto the stage strode an emaciated, almost effeminate, unim posing, bushy- haired little man clad, surpris- ingly, in a Mod suit with short jacket and tight high-water pants and fence-climber boots. Just like Santa, "He spoke not a word, but went straight to his work." The wails he forced from his throat were not dras- tically distinguishable from those he forced from his har- monica. But this was what everyone had come to see. This was Bob Dylan. The first half of his show consisted of seven songs, all of the tunes remarkably alike, dealing with.... Well, who knows just what they are about? As remarked a friend of mine, upon hearing another group per- form a Dylan song, "It sounds great. I just wish I knew what it meant." Long before I became ac- quainted with Bob Dylan him- self, I was familiar with the character of his songs. I have always thought of him as amis- fit who has a place.. As it is now the duty of the Republican Parry to criticize the Adminis- tration, so it is his right and privilege to attack the status quo, however extremely. But it is hard to believe that anyone can be that bitter, to say nothing of so esoteric. He was convincing. By intermis- sion I was ready to believe by Ann Roberts that here was a tortured soul, an honest man fiercely rebel- ling against the destructive evils of our decadent, hope- less society. However, he managed to kill that impression in me and in a large portion of the rest of the audience. After the half, he rallied back strong, supported by a average Madison-Avenue looking band, and surged ahead with his electric guitar and teen-age rock and roll beat for which he was justly booed at the Newport Folk Festival. Never a true folk singer, he is now far from even the folk tradition. My final opinions were two: 1) He is no showman. He main- tains that he does not try to sing well because he is not happy over his subject. This may be valid, but one can lis- ten only so long to a voice obviously under strain. Futhermore, probably to avoid convention, he made only three comments during the per- formance. This left those of us who have not memorized his albums in complete ignorances as to title and background.

Judy King and Linda Bloodworth are in charge of this project for Agnes Scott. Janet Hunter is in charge of the girls who go to the Mary Elizabeth Rest Home. The girls go once a week to visit and talk to the residents. Because this home is close to the school, girls are invited to go at any time and visit. The project at the Juvenile Home is open only to juniors and seniors. The girls at the home are from poor back- grounds and some of them have committed minor crimes. The Agnes Scott girls go to the home on Tuesday afternoon to pro- vide recreational activities and maybe some classes in cooking and sewing. This is the bright spot in the week for the girls at the Juvenile Home. There is something in these projects that everyone can do. Please fill out interest forms and return them soon. If there are any questions, talk to Kathey Stubbs or to the chairman of the project in which you are interested. Bring Shoe Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc.

Alum-Frosh Sponsor Plan Gets Underway Freshmen will meet their alumnae spons ors in the lobbies of their dormitories; during the chapel, October 25. Each alumnae will have two fresh- men usually roomates. This program is sponsored by the Alumnae Association, as explained to the freshmen at their class meeting, October 11, by Ann Worthy Johnson, Direc- tor of Alumnae Affairs. Atlanta and Decatur alumnae are contacted by the Alumnae Office, and if they volunteer alumnae sponsors, they (are as- signed two or three frfeshmen to be their sponsoreejs. The purpose of the program is to give the freshmen a friendly hcroae atmosphere in the Atlanta area. The program is now in its third year, and the Alumnae As- sociation feels that it has been very successful. It is seen by both alumnae and partici- pating students as a reward- ing experience. Sources Say Black Cat Is Full Of Surprises 'This year's Black Cat is go- ing to be full of surprises." Other than that, Kat Mitchell, spirit co-ordinator of A. A., is being pretty non-committal about the festivities of Black Cat which lead up to the high- light of the day, the Black Cat presentation. Surprisingly enough, Mary Barnett, Black Cat chairman, had almost the same thing to say about the presentation. "For the first time ever, this year's skit will have males in it." Not being one to do things half way, Mary has put not one, but two, men in the skit. Official Black Cat activities will start on Thursday night with a bonfire. Cheerleaders and classes will present their special cheers. Thursday night and Friday morning will hold their usual goings on while freshmen try (in vain, if sophs succeed)* to surprise everyone with their new mascot. At the hockey games, which start at 4, several unprecedent- ed events will take place. For a start, cheerleaders will lead their classes into the field to the tune of spirit songs. Weather permitting, a picnic supper will be served after the games are over at 6. Whether it will be eaten is another story (not because of the quality of the food). One tradition sure to be followed is the continual singing of spirit songs during the meal. After supper, classes head for Gaines where class song competition and the presenta- tion of the Black Cat to fresh- men take place. The zenith of the day is the Black Cat skit which starts at 8:15 p.m. All literary weapons have been blunted and the skit plays up the fun side of Scott. Mary Barnett has words of com- fort for freshmen: 'This year's script committee has made a special effort to reach freshmen. Mary is at this point en- couraged by what she's seen. "When we first started prac- ticing, I confess that I felt like resigning, but every time I go the skit looks better." She is especially proud of the cats and cast for their acting. In a way the skit is a Hitchcock produc- tion because each person of the script committee has one line in the skit. Organizers for the skit are Poppy Wilson, script chair- Alstons Have Freshman Tea Wednesday October 27 marks a tea day for the freshman class.

This year three freshmen talent acts instead of two will be in the skit. Anne Rogers is doing the choreography and Linda Marks is in charge of music. The procession of the classes will begin at 6:45. The song contest will start at 7, the pro- duction right after, and the dance at 9 in Rebekah Reception Room. McKinney Book Award Encourages Libraries Many people feel that too many students' libraries con- sist of a hodge-podge of texts and unwanted gifts.

BOZ is the campus writing club organized to promote creative writing at Agnes Scott, At informal meetings mem- bers have a chance to read and discuss their original works. The club is sponsored by Miss Janef Newman Preston of the English Department. A tryout for membership in BOZ may be an original short story, an essay, a one-act play, or a poem. The deadline for these try- outs is Monday, October 25. Send your original work to Box 160. All work will be re- turned. Mrs. Marybeth Weston sor emeritus of English/ Miss Louise McKinney, who was an essential part of the college community for many years. It was the desire of Miss Mc- Kinney that the rules of the com- petition be kept as simple as possible, and Miss Janef Pres- ton and the award committee followed this wish. A collection must contain at least fifteen books; these may be inexpensive and second-hand books but must be a suitable foundation for a permanent li- brary. Gifts may be included in the collection. All books, however, are expected to re- flect the owner's field or fields of special interest. The names of all contestants must be turned in to a member of the English Department by the end of this quarter. The collec- tions will be judged and the owners informally Interviewed in May. The winner will be an- nounced in Convocation. It is expected that the Award will be used for intellectual or cultural enrichment: the pur- chase of books, pictures., re- cords, or concert or theatre tickets. Alumnae Exec. Board Meets Oct. 25 Monday, October 25, the Exe- cutive Board of the Alumnae Association will hold its fall meeting. Mrs. Marybeth Little Weston, the Executive Board President, will be presiding. Mrs. Weston's home is New York City where she is the pro- duction manager of House and Garden magazine. The Executive Board has fall, winter, and spring meeting. At the spring meeting officers and committee chairmen are elected. The Board is the policymak- ing group of the Alumnae As- sociation. Its officers and com- mittee chairmen not only make policies but carry them out as well. The Board will begin its meeting at 11:30 a.m. October 25, and will break for lunch at 12:30 a.m. R THE X ROFILE MeL We, tZkonJa... Felicia Guest Editor Ann Roberts Associate Editor c:f>s PAGE 2 OCTOBER 20, 1965 MOCKINGS" FROM RAMON A ON TELEPHONES Student Government is now working on the project of allowing students to have private phones in their rooms. This seems to us a rather drastic way of attacking the problem of communica- tion. For those girls getting a phone, there is the process of getting legal financial backing from their parents. Then, merely pay- ing the bill is a headache. It is not easy to collect money from se- veral different sources. The benefits may be stronger than the drawbacks for those who find themselves in desperate need of phone, however. Therefore, consider the consequences to the neighbors, those who have no say in whether another has a phone installed. We can picture the situation as nothing less than chaotic, with phones ring- ing all over constantly, unintentionally loud conversations late at night. There are few people left who study in their rooms and a few more who try to sleep in them. Even if one should pay extra and get a phone that plugs into a jack, the company requires that a permanent bell be installed. We suggest an alternative solution: the immediate and sweep- ing re-working of the college switchboard, involving, at the least, a doubling of the number of phones on each hall, as well as an increase in personnel. The deal would be to make all campus phones the sort where one can simply dial 9 for outside. This in itself would clear up much of the present switchboard confusion. If students can be trusted to have private phones, surely they can be trusted not to abuse those of the college. We feel that the current proposal is not the shortest distance between two points. We are taking the long way around the heart of the problem. Job Corps Valuable However, the disenchantment that caused some of the eight to drop out is seen also in some of those who are still with the Corps. This stems often from the expectation of immediate entrance to vo- cational training. But just as the Job Corps participant must be patient to get full results from the pro- gram, the public needs also to be patient in its judgment of the program. We should not expect too much too soon. We can not expect low-rent people to be changed overnight. If the Job Corps can give these young men a purpose in life, it is a good thing. One Job Corps drop-out, when asked what he was now doing, replied, "Same as before-just setting around. No jobs-nothing to do." This is the feeling the Job Corps is trying to erase in the young men who enter the program. There is a chance- that they will succeed-if we also give them the chance they need. After operating for five months, the Job Corps has pu- blished a report evaluating its first 30 trainees. These trai- nees were young men who had experienced some kind of social or economic deprivation. Some of these were school drop-outs. Others had been thrown out. Often they also had medical or emotional pro- blems which had to be solved before they could begin learn- ing. The Job Corps wanted to help these young men by edu- cation and vocational training. A few are planning to finish high school or enter college; some have enlisted in one of the military services; and some, after completing basic edu- cational courses, will be trans- ferred to Urban Centers to ob- tain training in fields ranging from cooking to medical tech- nology. Of the original 30 men eight dropped out nr were released because of disciplinary pro- blems. When interviewed, most of them stated a desire to re- turn.

Friday night I had a date with The Man From U.N.C.L f E T I simply crave Ulya. Saturday I devoted my- self to less secular, more aca- demic matters. To wit, my Bible paper. Although it wasn't on the suggested list, I found it fascinating to write on whether there is any truth in the mo- dern theory that there were three of each kind of animals in the Ark. Then I went to Sun- day School the next day and the topic of the lesson was "Is there any truth in the modern theory..." Speaking of academics, irony of ironies, my faculty advisor turned out to be my English professor. He was as thrilled as I. My conference consisted of my description of my study habits. He likes the general plan that I study at all. He did suggest, however, that I switch the 7 to 10 period each night from break to study time. You asked why I didn't men- tion Cassandra last week. Ac- tually I was pouting because she made an A on her English paper. Although there has been some roommate trouble on our hall, we're still holding out.

College Bowl is a game based on quick recall and a flexible mind. It has a tempo all its own. The girl who is selected to fill the vacancy on the squad will find that our schedule is really not as rigorous as one might think. The team meets once a week to work with the buzzer boards and then journeys to WSB to watch present teams compete. Part of the squad supplies ques- tions for each work session and the remainder of our time is spent in analysis of the week's effort. We usually close the meetings with short questions merely to quicken reflexes. If being a Scott Scholar ap- peals to you, sign up on the list in the mall room. Try-outs will be held on Friday, Oct. 29, in the Rep Council Room. The College Bowl trip is an exciting opportunity take ad- vanfperp of If! Leary won't be able to make Black Cat. I'm really excited. Hockey practice has been going reasonably well. They haven't assigned me an actual place yet, but at least they know I'm there. Alice Davidson asked me to stop overstepping. Our class spirit is zooming. The song practices are going well. They did have trouble finding me a part that didn't involve a tune. I've heard that the juniors are all out to win again, though. I'm working on the costume committee; I've been up late for three nights now and I feel a little ragged. Oh, I almost forgot one of the really fun things. I feel so much more a part of the campus after the Hub party last week. After beating my way through the masses, I bought 15 doughnuts, 9 of which I dropped on the floor im- mediately after. I was getting into the swing of things, as I climbed up on to the mantle piece to sing the old Hub songs. Just as I was rising with the stirring music of that awe-inspiring ballad that I've always admired, 'Teen Angel," Ann Roberts spilled her Fanta grape all over me. For- tunately it doesn't show on my new supercool burgundy sweat shirt (it smells a little), but it did stain my wheat jeans. It was a bizarre way to make an acquaintance, but I do enjoy meeting upperclassmen. Thanks for coming through with the money, Mom. I was ready to go welfare. And the cookies were delicious. Love, Ramona Paradox By Grace Winn It is paradoxical that the most common perversion of Catho- locism, a religion traditionally emphasizing salvation by works, is a casual disregard of sinful deeds and a reliancesolely on the sacraments of the church. The most frequent perver- sion of Protestantism, tradi- tionally emphasizing salvation by faith, is a pharisaic con- cern with the smallest moral ru les governing deeds. Mile.

Hockey, Ice Skating This week marks the be- ginning of the season for one of A.A.'s most successful ac- tivities. The hockey season, especially the opening game on Black Cat Day, has become an Agnes Scott tradition. Many returning Varsity and Sub-Varsity members and se- veral skilled freshmen should make this season thrilling. Watch for action Friday with SUPER BALL Faster than a speeding bullet? Able to leap tall buildings in a single bounce? Well, it all depends on how hard you can throw the Super Ball, a rubbery plaything that's quickly becoming a firstclass fad in places as diverse as gradeschool playgrounds and corporate offices. Super Ball, a high-pressure ball developed by a secret for- mula, is produced by Wham- O Manufacturing Co., the Cali- fornia firm that also put Fris- bies and Hula Hoops on the m arket. A "recovery rate" (bounce- back) of 92 per cent, says Wham-O, is Super Ball's main selling point. Do you need passive exer- cise? Then drop a Super Ball from eye level, and watch it bounce for a full minute More strenuous activity? If you throw it to the ground hard enough, it will bounce as high as a three-story building. Super Ball's popularity is enhanced, too, by its price- usually less than a dollar Freshmen vs. Sophomores, Ju- niors vs. Seniors. The Atlanta Figure Skating Club would like to invite any students who are figure ska- ters, or who are interested in taking up the sport to visit or skate with the Club.

A transfer student from Sarah Lawrence, a college for women in Bronkville, N.Y., she is doing her senior year at Agnes Scott. Wife of a Yale gra- duate who is at Emory Law School, Judy will receive her degree from Sarah Lawrence in June. "The whole atmosphere is different," Judy generalized. The superficial reasons and dif- ferences are apparent when Judy describes classes and liv- ing conditions.. A student at Sarah Lawrence takes only three courses per year, each lasting the entire school year. She meets classes which usually have four or five students, only 11/2 hours per week per course. Once a week she meets for 45 min.her "don" or faculty advisor,, "We have very full class pa r- ticipation." Judy attributes this primarily to the size of the clas- ses. At Agnes Scott Judy finds classes consist of a lot more- lectures, out of necessity. "The teacher is totally in control here...the size of the classes li- mits the communication be- tween students, I think," specu- lated Judy. At Sarah Lawrence the students do most of the talk- ing in the classroom. Although there is class to class preparation, there are no tests and students receive no grades. The professors may give a student warning, and she has six weeks to improve the quality of her work or leave. The professor comments on the work, specific comments on the grasp of the student of the material. But there is no ge- neral standard. The student does receive marks, but never sees these unless she needs them for grad school applica- tion or is planning to transfer. When I asked Judy if the lack of grade incentive was an advan- tage, she spoke again of the col- lege's basic differences. "I think it (the non-graded system) is an advantage...You get much more of a feeling of personal satisfaction. You feel you're working for yourself and Bring Shoe Trembles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc. DR. 3-3676 141 Clairmont Avo. not for someone else," she re- plied.

Rogers, for the benefit of you who may not know him, is the wizard you have probably seen taking care of the finishing touches on the Dana Fine Arts Building. . .or su- pervising the freshman picnic . . .or working behind the scenes for Black Cat. Though you might not realize it, he is also the one respon- sible for fixing that leaky show- erhead, for keeping that tramp- led grass replanted, and even for steering the sophomores in their quest for the most satis- factory school ring. A veteran of Agnes Scott for thirteen years, Mr. Rogers is our official Business Manager and Purchasing Agent. He and his wife, Virginia have five children, a married daughter, a son at Georgia Tech, a son and daughter at Decatur High, and a son in grammar school. Be- fore coming to Scott he served in a similar capacity at Georgia Tech.

In apprecia- tion of his frequent smile, good will, and encouragement we dedicate the spirit of the day to him. fields each year. The senior year, two of the courses are in one field. When asked about social re- gulations at Sarah Lawrence, Judy smiled at the frequently- asked question. "I'm not gloat- ing, really," she smiled as she explained the three social rules. There must be no liquor in the students' rooms. Men must be out of the dorm by midnight (til 10 am). There is sign-out procedure for overnights, which are unlimited. Since there are no house mo- thers, the rule opposing men in the dorms past midnight is each student's responsibility. In- fringements may be protested by one student to the offender, or a student may represent her hall and speak to the of- fender. This peer pressure us- ually works. The formsr dean of women, Mrs. Ester Rosenbush, who has now been promoted to presi- dent, made a public statement about the policy. She stated her own opinion, emphasized that it was the students own decision. "She allowed for our own ini- tiative in the whole thing and we respected her for it, "com- ments Judy. From 5-10 pm Wednesday nights students may take any problem to the dean of women, whether academic, personal, a personality conflict, a problem in sex, anything. "It's quite useful, quite a success," according to Judy. At Sarah Lawrence, she be- lieves students can "develop more initiative in deciding for themselves.. People are a lot more individualistic at Sarah Lawrence. I'm judging from a first impression, I know," she concluded. Decatur Co- Op Cabs 24 HR.

Art Professor Robinson Likes Ceramics, Weaving The new face in the art de- partment this year is that of Miss Susan Robinson, visiting instructor in art for the '65- 66 session while Mr. Wester- velt is on leave. Miss Robinson did her under- graduate and graduate work at the University of Georgia, where she got a B.S. in Edu- cation with a major in art and a Master of Art Education. The unusual pottery on dis- play in the glass cases in Dana is representative of her thesis problem. She concentrated on the human form inceramicsfor her graduate study, using the human form to suggest deco- ration for pots and to suggest pot shapes. Another of Miss Robinson's TO THE EDITOR Letter Recognizes The rather naive letter of last week criticizing the PRO- FILE'S article on Agnes Scott's own "Bunny'" reveals a re- grettable absence of any sense of humor coupled with a fail- ure to accept or even to recog- nize the very real world that goes on outside the ideas of this campus. Miss Mallory seems con- fused on several points. First of all, the function of a news- paper is not merely to feed its public wth more of what that public already knows, thinks and feels. Indeed if it did, it would contain no news since all information is already known no editorials since all thought is already formulated and no insights since an all- knowing, all-decided public would not be interested. Only Campus readily testify that no such pro- tection was afforded them. The article was pertinent be- cause it concerned something perfectly legitimate which one of our own members did and enjoyed and wished to share.

Part of her graduate work involved jewelry -making, mostly centri- fugal casting with silver. Her idea for human form in ceramics as a thesis pro- blem evolved from her study of P re-Columbians ceramics. Since the human form was used to suggest both decoration and pot shape for ancient Greeks, Egyptians, Pre-Columbians and Indians, Miss Robinson became intrigued. "I wanted to explore not why the human form isn't being used today, but how it could be used in contemporary ceramics," comments Miss Robinson.

At that time, everyone agreed as to the need for one, and two songs were written and selected as tentative choices. At school's end, the idea was to sing and know these songs, that a decision would be made later. We need now to resurrect this aim, to learn and sing "Convo- cation of the Present" and "A Song That Will Recall." But we can do more. For Black Cat, four suitable songs were written. Let us enter the winning ones in the running for alma mater. The first- place freshman song should definitely be included. This done with the sanction of Mortar Board, the students must take the initiative and learn and sing these songs, giving serious thought to one of them as the possible, much-needed alma mater. "The Winnah! 19 Class Of 1969 Black Cat Song V/e sought a faith that we might declare, Trials to dare, friendships to share, A place where love might find us there, And so we came to Agnes Scott.

GUEST EDITORIAL CAPITAL PUNISHMENT By Linda Lou Colvard In our system of law, three objectives have governed the insti- tution of punishment: The first, retribution., is the theory by which one seeks to eliminate the offender's responsibility by fixing a punishment which is proportionate to the crime. The deterrence theory seeks to protect society from the persistent offender and to deter potential offenders. The justification of punishment as a con- tribution to the rehabilitation of the offender, and thus rendering him an acceptable member of society, is the third theory. In the application of these objectives to the death penalty-, the reform theory is obiously invalidated since dead men cannot be reformed. The other two objectives are supported as means of attaining the illusive quality of justice. But indications are that the death penalty is more a cause of injustice than a servant of justice. This is the result of unequal administration of the penalty. The ability or lack of ability of the offender's lawyer may be the deciding fac- tor in whether or not the convicted man ultimately is executed. A man is saved from execution by the appeal of ingenious counsel to the Supreme Court. Another man is convicted and sentenced to death because his attorney neglected to raise a point of procedure at trial, thereby barring higher courts from touching the issue. Emotions and human weaknesses of those in a position to deter- mine the offender's fate play there part. The result is that the fate of the wrongdoer is decided by a different yardstick in every case. For example, the statistics from the state of Virginia are typical of every southern state. While Negroes committed only 12% more rapes, they accounted for all 54 executions for rape. The inability of exercising mathematical precision in reach- ing the conclusion further allows for the possibility of convicting the innocent, demonstrated by the James Foster Case of 1956 in Georgia. Foster was positively identified at the capital offen- der, convicted, and sentenced to death. He was saved by the con- fession of the actual offender. If this confession had not occured, there would have been a drastic miscarriage of justice and the great probalility that the truth would have never been discovered because there would be no further motive for investigating the case. Dare we hope that the irremediable taking of an innocent human life is always prevented by such chance confession? States differ on the crimes which carry the death penalty, and in the practice of capital punishment. Thus, a defendant may stand to rsk losing his life for an act which if committed across the state line would only send him to jail. The courts have ruled that the phrase "cruel and unusual". . . "is not fastened to the obsolete but may acquire meaning as pub- lic opinion becomes enlightened by a humane justice." This meaning changes with the standards of society. When a punishment violates that standard set by society, is is the duty of the court to declare it unconstitutional. It may be noticed that in the disposi- tion of capital cases, the number of persons executed has been dropping steadily. Those who espouse capital punishment for its deterrent effect theorize that those who would committ crimes for which death is the punishment will see it as a potential threat and therefore not com it the crime. The Southern states have the highest rate of executions. If capital punishment had a deterrent effect, these same states should have the lowest rates of murder. The re- verse is true; the rate of murders is highest in the southern por- tions of the United States. Some plead for the deterrent effect in the protection of our police officers. The facts are that the rates of murder of police officers do not differ from abolition to non-abolition states. Finally, the murderer is not psychologi- cally the type of individual who would be deterred by the threat of death due either to his general psychological pattern or his behavior at the moment of his frenzied action. These arguments illustrate the impracticality of the death pe- nalty as an effective device in the fulfillment of any of the three decalred motives of punishment and in the obtainment of justice. Yet these arguments simply apply reason to an issue which should be confronted essentially with humanistic values. What right has the individual man, much less collectivized man in the form of the state, to deny another human being his life on the ground of justice? To continue this practice does far more than perpetuate injustice and permit our system its last vestiges of revenage. It undermines what we are all trying to achieve... .a society where human life is held as an ultimate value. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Low Interest In Mallard Embarassing Dear Editor; This Sunday, CA sponsored the third in its series of Sun- day afternoondiscussions inthe Cabin. The title of the lecture was "The Problem of the His- torical Jesus." The subject was the dcmythologizing of the New Testament, led by Dr. William Mallard, Professor ofTheoloe^- at Emory University. Dr. Mal- lard is a close friend and col- league of Dr. T.J.J. Altizer, one of the instigators of the "God is dead" movement described in Time Magazine, October 22. The discussion could not have been more topical; it dealt with one of the most controversial subjects of modern theology. Because, however, Dr. Mal- lard does not teach on this cam- pus, and has not, therefore, gathered a large clique of stu- dent followers, the attendance was less than infinitesimal. Al- though those of us there appre- ciated the intimacy of the group, we could not help but be em- barrassed by a campus that will not take the time to listen to an outsider with something rele- vant and vital to say. Many people on this campus complain that the traditional Christian religion is unaccepta- ble, and their many proofs are valid. However, they have just lost their right to deplore, and attribute their skepticism to, the lack of progressive thinking available at Scott. Debbie Potts "MOCKINGS" k FROM RAMON A Dear Mom, I finally feel in the true spi- rit of things after Black Cat. You'll never guess who the star was my old hockey friend Alice Davidson. Please send my pool cue in my next CARE package. The freshman talent was a great surprise folk singing. My upperclassmen friends tell me it was quite an original idea. Actually I'm just bitter because they wouldn't accept my tuba-playing and egg-juggling act. They did sound pretty good. The hockey game was fun. I participated in two plays, but I ran the wrong way on only one. Our sister class didn't do so well at hockey either, but we both came through inthe song contest. The sophomores contributed to the spirit of things by being a little more rambunctious than just peppy. We were all cutting up in Rebekah Thusday night, but the D.O. told them to cool it. I might have been kidnapped if my good friend Barbara Ayers hadn't suggested that we hide in the basement. The sophs are a pretty spiri- ted group, but I did think they overstepped by bursting into their song the minute the pro- duction was over. You would have thought they had won. The moment should have been ours. I thought hockey was the har- dest physical exercise. Then I got to the dance. It was exhaus- ting, but get fun. I asked Jerome to the dance, but he was going home, so I asked my Junior Sponsor to get me a blind date. Being a jun- ior, she deferred to one of the Sophomore Helpers. He was a Tech freshman from her home town, Al Pope. He was rather attractive. 4' 11". Long red hair, Inch-thick glasses. We danced every dance, v/hile he waxed on for two hours about some complex theory he's just taken up in freshman math. I hated to tell him I learned that in the eleventh grade. I was really starved, so I thought the evening's one sav- ing moment would be our visit to Pizza where we got a pizza. (Odd.) He ordered his own spe- cial conbination anchovies, peanut butter, bananas, and cu- cumber. He created it himself. Can you believe it? In accordance with my Vital Concern Policy I visited Rep. Council Tuesday. They were involved with a really fascina- ting topic that interested me. Yes, they spent five minutes on the Yamaha Policy. They way things are going, Mom, you may have to send written permission for me to ride next time. I took a whirl last weekend and it reminded me of the way I used to ride Butch around at home. Anyway the rest of the meeting was somehow less dy- namic and I fell asleep.

Michigan Students Have Chance For Viet Study avtx, r^r-^r^ , suddenlv realized that it hac ANN ARBOR, Mich. (CPS)- The University of Michigan is embarking on an experimental program with the U.S. State De- partment to send graduate stu- dents to study in war-torn Viet- nam. The students are to bridge a 20-year gap in educational co- operation between the United States and South Vietnam as an "intellectual peace corps." One University of Michigan student and four from other American universities have been selected to receive the academic fellowships for a year's study at the University of Saigon, Saigon, South Viet- nam. Dr. L. A. Peter Gosling, di- rector of the University's Cen- ter for South and Southeast Asian Studies, said the pro- gram is a new attempt by the State Department's Bureau of Cultural and Educational Af- fairs to place American stu- dents overseas. "Government officials have felt for a long time that the Bureau should involve the uni- versities and make use of their experience, teaching and se- lection of students for over- seas study," Dr. Gosling said. Dr Gosling said he was amazed at the numbers of ex- cellent students who applied for the new fellowships evidencing a keen desire to study in Vietnam* "In setting up the program, I suddenly realized that it has been impossible for students to get to Vietnam for the last 20 years," he pointed out. 'There simply was no way for interested students to do it. The foundations were keeping away because of the changing political developments, and no program encouraged scholarly pursuits between the American student and the Vietnamese peo- ple." The University of Saigon originally requested the State Department to set up a program enabling American students to study there. The students selected for the program are interested in re- searching topics ranging from the social sciences to the hu- manities, Dr. Gosling said. Dr. Gosling foresees tne stu- dents may play important roles in relations between the people of Vietnam and the United States. "We have virtually no social scientists who are well trained in Vietnamese studies per se, who have known first- hand the Vietnam language and culture," he said. "Except for the experience of the mil- itary, we have not had profic- ient persons in Vietnam who were cultural specialists."

It will be presented at Agnes Scott November 9. Dalton Display Opens In Dana The Dalton Art Collection do- nated to Agnes Scott by Mr. and Mrs. Harry L. Dalton of Char- lotte, North Carolina opened Sunday, October 24. The Daltons were present for the official opening in the Dana Fine Arts Building. The following works were exhibited: B.A. Graduates Must Prepare For Jobs Now 'To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven." For those who wrote the Bible, this phrase in Ecclesiastes might have referred to a phase in man's life other than work, but the philosophy behind it is still as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago , Now is the season to pre- pare yourself for a job whether you are a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior; single, engaged or married. Since the days of the stay- at-home-spinet-playing- woman seem gone forever, high on the list of what to do after col- lege seems to be a job with scope, interest and challenge for the married and unmarried woman. Everybody wants to work today I Wanting to work, however, does not always mean that there is a job for every desire. For the liberal arts graduate, es- pecially, the right job can be- come an acute problem. Although a liberal education does equip one to think it doesn't necessarily give one the tools that are needed for working in the business world. Even a magna cum laude, leading in all scholastic honors, may find it some what difficult to find a job if she doesn't have that very small but special skill that is required. We are not plugging that col- leges become trade or voca- tional schools. Far from it. What we do suggest, however, is that along with the broaden- ing of one's intellectual hori- zons, one should also consider the possibility of merging one's major into a saleable commo- dity for the Job market. To be a successful career hunter, we have observed, re- quires an ability to understand both One's inner needs and what the world may have to offer. Self knowledge is imperative. To be aware of the job market U another. Every field, whether it is pub- lishing, insurance, advertising and public relations, television, theatre and radio, market re- search, foundations, social ser- vices or industry has need at one time or another for a young woman with a college education* Then why the lament "No- body needs us"? The unfortu- nate truth is that the Bache- lor's alone is not quite enough for the specifications of ninety- nine percent of the jobs. The problem lies in the struc- ture of business. But until the needs of business change, the problem will remain. There are only a limited num- ber of jobs available to the col- lege grad that do not require office skills. Actually, asking that a college grad be able to type a letter is not really a strange request. When a young person pre- pares for teaching, she learns a special skill, for social work, another skill, for art, another, and so on. Why then, should she feel that she can enter the business world with no pre- pared skill to meet its demands? The fields most interested in and interesting to college grads are the communications field \ Imagine trying to communic-te without the written word 1 Visua- lize further, attempting to run a business without the ubiqui- tious typewriter! Some small but special skills are important for the job hunter. Fortunately, one of these skills is the easily acquired typing facility. Most of you know how to type already, and all you will have to do is practice enough to build up your speed and accuracy. Another important "special" is to have some knowledge of what to expect in the various fields.

Le Treteau de Paris, a profes- sional French theatre company of international reputation, will do the performance, in French. Paul Claudel is recognized as one of the great French dra- matists of the twnetieth cen- tury, and L'Announce is acclai- med as his poetic masterpiece. The play had over 350 per- formances in Paris at the Thea- tre de l'Ouvre during the 1961- 1962 season; it enjoyed a two and one half week limited enga- gement on Broadway last April, and will be seen a total of 125 times around the United States this year. Pierre Franck is the direc- tor, and starring roles are held by Jean Davy, France Descaut and Madeleine Vimes. The tour by the Treteau de Paris is sponsored by the French government. The com- pany's goal is to demonstrate the beauty of the French lan- guage as well as the nobility, poignancy and passion of the drama. Their talent has been proclai- med by both the French and American press. Critics claim that the clarity and precision of the players' language is such that the play is easy to follow and its dramatic impact can be felt, even with only a moderate familiarity with the Frenchlan- guage. Tickets for the Agnes Scott performance will be sold in ad- vance, but no seats are reser- ved. Admission is $2.00 for stu- dents, and $3.00 for adults. Everyone is invited.

THE PROFILE ' OCTOBER 27, 1965 - PAGE 5 Freshman Expects Carefree Year, Finds Hard Work, Responsibility by Betsy Anderson Excerpted with permission from articles in .Th e St. Petersburg (Florida) Times The high school graduate who packed his suitcases and headed for college last month may have expected to find a carefree year of fun, football games, fraternity parties, all night bull sessions and good grades. If he's one in a million, perhaps he'll find such a year. The time won't be so picture-perfect for most of his classmates, though. They'll find new cares and new problems along with the new friends, new experiences and new know- ledge. Dr. Thomas West, director of guidance and counseling at Florida Presbyterian Col- lege in Su Petersburg, calls the freshman year "a time for testing, for real movement into making big decisions and taking respon- sibility." "It involves a change in the level of dif- ficulty of courses along with the removal of supervision of high school," says Mrs. Nancy McGarry, dean of women at St. Petersburg Junior College and a former guidance coun- selor at Northwestern. She notes that the year "bridges a gap" between high school and adult life. TENSIONS Problems and tensions come with the newly found independence. The student who goes away from home to college no longer has pa- rents who are making sure that he eats the right food, gets enough sleep or does things when he should. Despite the lectures on "freedom and res- ponsibility" every college freshmen hears from professors who indicate he should be able to manage his new life, organizing and sticking to a schedule for getting everything done still befuddles many afreshm an. "Time", sayd Dr. West, "is the biggest problem our freshmen have." Away from home and direct parental influ- ence, college freshmen sometimes decide to "turn over a new leaf" and assume a new per- sonality. Many times this change comes as a result of pressure to conform to accepted norms in everything from manner of speech to matters of morals. SEX PRESSURE "The biggest pressure to conform comes in the area of sex," comments Dr. West. He says many new college students find a re- lative relaxation of moral codes they're ac- customed to. This results in pressure to test old codes and go against standards which the person has been taught to respect. He notes that some students need to change some of their standards, but suggests that "it's better to wait a^whilebef ore redefining values." And Mrs. McGarry counsels that "the emo- tional trauma of giving up standards a student believes in may be worse that the strain of not conforming." The college freshman has to learn to live with a number of different kinds of people. "Dorm life is a change," says a husky red- haired sophom ore at the University of Florida. "You just meet ALL kinds! EVERYBODY 1 1" he adds. Often problems stemning from bad room ate situations can threaten to wreck a whole year, says Dr. West. He suggests that "talking things out" as difficult as it might seem at first is the best remedy. Families are another source of pressure on the college freshman. Throckmortimer BROKEN TIES "Ties have to be broken somewhere, and often it's a hard thing for both sides. The freshman has a whole new life to live. He's not in the family community any more. There are problems in communication," explains a senior at George Tech. "You become so independent at school you feel you don't really need your parents. You think you can do what you please. Parents resent this," declares a blonde University of Florida sophomore. Academic tensions probably worry more college freshmen to a greater degree than any other kind of pressure. One nation- wide survey indicated that 58 per cent of college freshmen feel one of their greatest pressures is to make better grades. (The next most common pressure to get along socially was shared by only 24 per cent of college freshmen.) Harder courses, greater competition, in- decision regarding the right field of study and learning effective study habits are, in a nutshell, the biggest academic stumbling blocks facing the freshman. LOW GRADES Dean McGarry notes the "terrific adjust- ment necessary for the high school student who is used to being top drawer and comes to college with expectations of doing well, but who doesn't make top grades despite working at top ability." Freshmen curricula in many colleges and universities consist of a number of survey courses designed to give the student a gen- eral knowledge of a wide variety of fields. The student who is planning to major in Eng- lish may find the required sience course dif- ficult and may resent the time it takes away from literature courses. On the other hand, the freshman at techno- logical schools, such as Georgia Tech, starts basic courses in his major field at once and may find the subject not to his liking once he studies it in depth. The leads to changes in major fields of study which may prolong college and result in higher education costs. And then there's the matter of studying. "Most colleges feel morally bound not to accept a student who can't do the work re- quired of him," says Dr. West. "The vast majority are capable of handling the load if they learn to study." "I knew it was going to be hard," says a sophomore at the University of Florida, "but I didn't think it was going to be like this. You have so much freedom, you have to MAKE yourself study! You hear about all-nighters (when students go without sleep to study from dusk to dawn). They're for real I" EXCITING TIME Even with tensions and unhappy moments, the first year of college is an exciting time. "You change," says one student. "You start realizing how much you don't know. You don't think you're such a hot shot any- more." "The boy who has finished his freshman year has a sense of maturity he couldn't have had in high school, or even after the first quarter," says a Georgia Tech senior. "The real joy of college comes when you realize you can handle the tensions you face and become the man you must become," he concludes. Wh*Vt would Scott to wiruouT TCQMflS Eft boh? Protest Forms Against Cruelty To Lab Animals The Humane Society of the United States and the National Catholic Society for Animal Welfare are concerned about the proported cruel treatment of animals in laboratories. They say that, of course, some experimentation with animals is quite necessary, but it seems that animals are made to endure pain that is not at all necessary. Experiments are being re- peated which can, in no way, add new information. They feel that something should be done to protect the vertebrates a- gainst this unnecessary suffer- ing. Another point which has been brought up is that the treat- ment of the animals before they are used in experimentation. They are not fed properly, they lack the proper amount of exer- cise, and they are provided with inadequate shelter. Those who are trying to get something done about the sit- uation have tried to emphasize that they do not want to abo- lish the use of animals in the laboratories. They merely want to curtail unnecessary suffering of the animal. So far all efforts to secure enactment of an effective law have failed. The voices of the medical lobbies have been much louder than those of groups pushing the bills. This year Senator Joseph Clark of Pennsylvania has in- troduced into Congress another bill which also failed. This bill would require humane treat- ment of lab animals by insti- tutions receiving grants from the federal government. As the Washington Post states, "It aims to do no more than to minimize needless, wan- ton suffering. It has been care- fully drafted to avoid any im- pediment to rational scientifici study; it is no sense an anti- Yivisection bill. "It provides machinery for reporting and inspection de- signed to assure decent care of animals awaiting experi- mental treatment, anestheti- zation when this would not inter- fere with an experiment, and prompt dispatch of a dying ani- mal to avoidunnecessaryagony when the experiment has been completed." This bill was patterned after similar legislation which Eng- land has had for 90 years. One of the more popular bills has been introduced by Repre- sentative Claude Pepperof Flo- rida. It is, in essence, almost identical to the Clark bill, but is more explanatory and deals with solving the problem more extensively. Of course, if either of these bills were enacted, they would provide for the inspection of only the laboratories which re- ceive money from the govern- ment. In others, only educa- tion can prevent cruelty.

The Need To Adjust by Ed Schwartz New York University Students are often urged to "adjust." With the collapse last year of the educational philosophy of an entire decade at Berkeley and elsewhere, college admini- strators are going to have a few adjustment problems of their own. Higher education has changed. It is no longer a sa- cred luxury of the elite, as it may have been 25 years ago. Nor is it the protracted guide- book for technocrats encour- aged in the 4 50's. The numerous popular attacks on specializa- tion have succeeded sufficiently that even students are beginning to value liberal arts in the classroom and open discussion outside of it. This has come as a shock to those accustomed to the complacence of the "ivory tower intellectual" for whom a university was little more than a lab, a library, a classroom, and a bunk. It's time they re- covered. In the days of elite education, the re would have been some me- rit to the administrative conten- tion that powerful student go- vernments or vocal undergra- duate- political organizations were not an essential part of a campus. Learning was pursued either "for its own sake" or for a job. Even today, Dean Griswold of Harvard Law School could boast to a group of Oberlin alumni that "our students are too busy worrying about torts to get concerned about 'their role in the decision - making process'." His was the clea- rest statement of what I would call the "our Negroes are Hap- py" school of college admini- strators. Criswold, however, presides over one of the last strongholds of the elite. The relationship between the law student and the university is vertical. He has no social rules. He is not ex- pected to "develop as a whole man," although he might. Chan- ces are that he has his own apartment and lives independent of university facilities, except those' which relate to his study of law. His concern with univer- sity decision-making reflects the university's unwillingness to make any decisions for him. Undergraduate schools do not benefit from such laissez-faire policies. They boast large pro- grams of e xtra-curricular ac- tivities to develop qualities of citizenship. They strive to up- hold the moral standards of those enrol led. They may re- quire that a student live in a college dorm, eat in a college dining hall, and obey a long list of college rules n. printed in a college handbook or tacked on a college wall. They may hire psychologist, special counse- lors, administrators of extra- curricular activities, even so- cial directors. By their own admission, classroom educa- tion is only one part of their re- lationship to the student. When an undergraduate ac- cepts this premise, however, that student's involvement in policy is equally necessary to develop "qualities of citizen- ship" and that student action in local communities is a desir- able adjunct to courses in the social sciences, the same ad- ministrators will revert to the elitist argument that "educa- tion should be confined to the classroom you have no busi- ness doing any of these things." If I were a rabid leftist, I would brand such sophistry as a glaring example of Esta- blishment hypocrisy. So as not to inpugn motives, I would sug- gest that it represents an un- witting contradiction. I do not object to a univer- sity which seeks to provide extra - curricular as well as classroom programs for its students. Indeed, as higher edu- cation is made available to large numbers and as course material replaces vocational training with "broad develop- ment," opportunities for ac- tion will be necessary for stu- dents to test conflicting theo- ries through participation. But a university cannot confuse de- velopment with indoctrination, participation with manipulation, and expect a person trained in critical thought to accept. The student need only examine Na- poleon's system of non-repre- sentcd governments to evaluate the political position of his stu- dent government. A quick in- take of Socrates' "Apology" should provide him an incentive for honest expression. And then there's that messy business of civil rights. Therefore the administrator must adjust. If he wants the American campus to become a laboratory for the "leaders of tomorrow," he must create a campus community in which qualitie s of leadership can be develope d one which guaran- tees that a student opinion has some chance of implementation and which enables a student politico to work in the "real world" with the university's blessings. Otherwise, the ad- ministrator will discover that the student has learned his les- sons too we 11.

MONEY DOES GROW ON TREES IN THE SOUTH Atlanta's Municipal Thea- ter's first presentation of its new Fine Play Season was Geor- ge Bernard Shaw's "Saint Joan". It played at the Commu- nity Playhouse October 12-24. Sandra Kaufman was a bril- liant and dynamic Joan. And sne was excellently supported by Joel Fabiani as Robert de Bua- dricourt, John Wardwell as The Archbishop of Rheims, James Sloyan as Bluebeard, and Ric- hard Matthews as The Dauphin, Michael Ebert was a hand- some and firy Bastard of Or- leans. David Hook portrayed the insipid Bishop of Beauvois very well, and William Hanson as The Inquisitor was realistic and excellently pointed out the corruption of the Inquisition.

Michael Howard directed the play, and his product was uni- fied and lent itself to audience participation. The Community Playhouse has an open stage similar to the one in the Dana Fine Arts Building, and Mr. Ho- ward used it brilliantly. I felt particularly a part of the play in the first court scene at the court of The Dauphin and in the Inquisition scene. This, of course, was due to a large extent on the fine calibre of the acting throughout the play. In addition, the players vivdly dramatized the theme that clerical and civil heirarchies obscure the truth. Also, the theme of God's surpassing all human institutions to obtain His truth was portrayed well. In this light the Inquisition scene was particularly well done. Sandra Kaufman was an inspiring Joan, and William Hansen was as cold and un- swerving as the Inquisition he represented. The evening was a rewarding experience. Judging from the fine quality of this production of the Municiple Theater, thea- ter-goers are offered a rich experience in the remainder of the Fine Play Season which in- cludes "Death of a Salesman" and "Romeo and Juliet."

"A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Hustler" was the first in this "year of exciting mi- racles." The reasons are many. The choice of "The Music Man" as a basis for the idea as well as the music is the main one. Poppy Wilson and her talented script committee had imagina- tive material to work with, and they took the hint and adapted it imaginatively, coming up with terrifically satirical and clever lines and ideas. Some of the songs were espe- cially memorable, particularly the parodies of "Seventy-Six Trombones" and "The Wells Fargo Wagon." Picaynish Deb- vie Potts did a good job with the effective "We Got Trouble." The entire cast was good; some were outstanding. Among these are, of course, Alice Da- vidson as clear-voiced, pool- playing Marian, Chris Babbage as that "heck of a male libra- rian." Debbie Rosen as her- self presiding over a rather truly-depicted Rep Council, and Susan Landrum as the dis- traught, weeping, ousted artist. Portia Morrison and Martha Thompson displayed amazing talent at dancing. And the en- tire audience thrilled to the performance of that versatile thespian Dr. Alston, remem- bered by upperclassmen for his dynamic portrayal of Pooh. The freshman talent was good, and well-worked into the plot. Indeed, one of the pro- duction's chief virtues was its satisfying unity. The backstage work was equally commendable. Special thanks go to Carol Sutherland for scenery, Ann Rogers for choreography. Much credit goes also to Linda Marks for doing the music and so many other things, and to Mary Barnett for heading up the entire pro- duction. Congratulations are also in order for the audience, to Rag- gedy Ann and her song contest- winning freshmen and to junior Peter Pan who racked up again. This Black Cat Day was a great first step and assurance that "'66 will roll." A.A.

(CPS) Some students at Kalamazoo College are getting verbal gra- des. What they hear, simply, is the recorded voice of their pro- fessor evaluating and grading their term papers or lab re- ports. By replacing the red pen- cil with a dictation machine, se- veral professors have found that they can give students more than twice as many comments with- out increasing the time it takes to grade a set of papers. The school has not had the opportunity to evaluate the sys- tem scientifically but some ob- servations, based on the 200 students involved in the initial test, have been released. Thus far the system has been tried by professors in the Eng- lish, history, philosophy, and chemistry departments. All the teachers who have tried the new form of grading plan to keep us- ing it. Dr. John B. Moore, who introduced the system at Kala- mazoo, says that student-teach- er contact is greatly increased. Dr. Moore originally tried the idea in an attempt to save grad- ing time. Instead, he found he was spending about the same amount of time grading papers but was making far more detail- ed comments than he did with a pen. There have been no student complaints and much praise from those who felt they were receiving more personal at- tention. "We get a lot more understanding just by hearing the tone of the professor's voice," one student said. Bring Shoe Troubles To Cloirmont Shoe Repair, Inc.

"Hustler" Best Skit In Recent Black Cat Days by Ann Roberts by Margaret Davis When I elected to spend my summer in the slums of Wash- ington, D.C. as a social worker, I had only a vague idea of what my work or living conditions would consist. I think I went because the job presented a challenge to con- front poverty face-to-face and an opportunity to become in- volved in the way-of-life and in the problems of a segment of our society which has not be- nefitted from its growing af- fluence. I was employed, along with fourteen other college students, as a member of the Summer Service Corps of Friendship House. We were given room and board in the House and were paid a subsistence salary of $50. Friendship House is a settle- ment supported by government funds, United Funds, and pri- vate benefactors. The settle- ment idea originated in London in the latter part of the nine- teenth century and has become a traditional way of serving a deprived urban area. The House provides such ser- vices to the neighborhood as day care for children of working parents, day camps and resi- dence c amps ^ during t he sum- C.A. Evaluates Discussions Successful' "I think they've been really successful." This is the reac- tion of Judy Nuckols to the Christian Association discus- sion groups which she organiz- ed. , Led by members of the fa- culty, the discussion groups met on Sunday afternoons. The first discussion was led by Mrs. Margaret W. Pepperdene, who discussed T.S. Eliot. Dr. Theodore Greene spoke on the topic," Need We Re- think Our Religious Beliefs," specifically mentioning the di- vision on college campuses be- tween believers and skeptics. Concluding the discussions last Sunday, October 24, Mr. William Mallard of the Emory University School of Theology talked on the subject of "Quest for the Historical Jesus." Judy said that she did not want to discuss the success of the discussions in terms of numbers, because both C.A. and the faculty agreed that it did not matter whether "five people or fifty" came. However the discussion groups were well attended with about fifty people at each one. mer, an unemployment office, an emergency supply office, club programs for various ages, a savings and loan office, a casework agency, and lawyer services. Usually a settlement house is a center of community participation, but this role has taken on a somewhat different aspect with the new emphasis on Community Action. Supported by the War on Po- verty, many members of the community are taking the ini- tiative and assuming leadership in solving the problems of their area. The settlement house now serves as a coordinating point for the academic knowledge and skills of trained social workers and the background and exper- ience of community workers. Other aspects of President Johnson's Poverty Program which I encountered were Head' start and the Neighborhood Youth Corps. Friendship House was the former home of Francis Scott Key and has the further his- torical attraction of having pro- vided overnight lodgings for George Washington. Being lo- cated about seven blocks south- east of the Capitol, it was con- venient for sightseeing expedi- tions in free time. However, the sensitive ob- server is struck by the jarring spectacle of the heart of our nation surrounded by slums where hunger, want and depri- vation prevail. Friendship House is situated in one of these slum sections, of whose popu- r Visit or Ph one WATSON PHARMACY FOR Prompt Delivery DR 3-1665 Your Nearest Drug Store lace approximately 95% woula be classed in the lower income bracket. 70% of the neigh- borhood are Negro. I had been assigned to group work, which as I soon learned, was a field of social work which concentrates on helping the in- dividual achieve his fullest po- tential in a democratic group setting. My first task was to work with a neighborhood gang of about twelve boys and girls, ages six to twelve. Unfortunately their leader, a boy of eleven, provided a belli- gerent and potentially delin- quent example. My job was to provide constructive activities and opportunities for this group. Since the first step was to win their confidence, I began by making friends with some of the individual members and by visiting their homes in order to get a better picture of their environment and to secure the support of their families. In several cases, the children were from homes disturbed by familial or financial problems. My role as leader of the group was to create an atmosphere in which all the members were ac- cepted and to encourage the group to work together in plann- ing and carrying out activities and in problem-solving. By the end of the summer, group co- herence and cooperation had markedly increased. My work with two boys 'clubs followed much the same pattern. Looking back now, I feel that this experience has been one of the most satisfying and reward- ing experiences of my life. fV Game goes better refreshed. And Coca-Cola gives you that big, bold taste.

In an article entitled "The Ivyless League, "the magazine finds that more emphasis is being given in new colleges to flexible curriculms and ac- tive student governments. These examined schools offer students the chance to help create their own educations. A new branch of St. John's in Annapolis, Md., is located in Santa Fe, N.M. Classes dis- play the intensely academic fla- vor of the school an aura particularly noticeable in Santa Fe, where the campus is situ- ated on the brick-red , pinion- dotted, high desert, and the sky and light are very close; super- ficial values are reduced to size in such a setting. The curriculum is not re- stricted to departments andma- jors. Tutors, or teachers, are prepared to teach any subject to any group of students, all of whom take identical courses in language (Greek and French), math and science (four years of each), a music seminar, and numerous tutorials that more or less cover philosophy, theology, literature and history. Texts for these studies are pure primary- source material, not compiled textbooks, with heavy emphasis on classics. Students are evaluated on their oral work and performance on papers, rather than a set se- ries of examinations.

A coordinated effort to in- crease the number of interna- tional students who come to the United States will not only aid in developing other nations, but also help American institutions increase their "knowledge of the world and the people who inhabit it." 9* U.S. Attacks Hanoi Trials Of "Crimes The State Department on Sep- tember 29 asserted that any action on the part of the Hanoi regime to hold so-called "war crimes" trials against Ameri- can pilots who are prisoners of war in North Yiet-Nam would be a trespass on reprisals which is contained in the 1949 Geneva Convention. The U.S. has requested the InS ternational Committee of the Red Cross to bring its influence to bear on North Yiet-Nam, an adherent to the Convention, to abide by its terms.

The facilities included the ad- Joining Ringling Museum of Art, with its famous collection of Rubens paintings and excellent art library. New College's experimental curriculum is designed to emphasize the interrelation- ships between academic dis- ciplines. In the first year, all students take three basic cour- ses; in the second, they specia- lize- and in the third, they divide their time between their majors and a seminar with stu- dents from other disciplines, each bringing his own point of view to a discussion of a major issue. Classes are held all year round, and the program is com- plete in three years. Rules are made and enforced by the students, and the college has no required tests except for annual comprehensives. In all areas, as the dean said last fall, "We're trying to make the students really res- ponsible for what they do." The newest of the Claremont Colleges, a cluster of six schools in quiet town, an hour from Los Angeles, Pitzer open- ed in 1964 with 150 women stu- dents and a curriculum empha- siging the behaviorial sciences (psychology, anthropology, so- ciology). Pitzer offers an opportunity many new schools talk about but few can actually boast: The Pitzer town meeting, an experi- ment in true democracy, in a group far smaller than the citi- zenry of ancient Athens, has produced much sadder-but- wiser prose. In mid-May, a Pitzer senior wrote, "After emotional haran- gues and almost Southern Bap- tist-style speeches for three weeks, Community Government passes . . .but it was a fight to avoid an ordinary student government, with the faculty and administration heading the hie- rarchy." Like many new colleges, Pit- zer is not afraid of bringing the topical into the classroom.

(CPS) Students at Amherst College are protesting a new set of parietal rules, including a so-called "rat-fink" clause which makes all residents in each dormitory responsible for reporting vio- lations of the social code. Student protest has taken the form of college-wide discus- sions and letters to the student paper, the Amherst Student. About 100 students have not han- ded in signed honor code cards, by which a student indicates he is willing to abide by the social code, including the "rat-fink" clause. Hie student council is organi- zing a poll of all students on the social hours issue and is encouraging all dormitories to elect representatives to a stu- dent inter-dormitory council, which is in charge of formula- ting the social code. Along with the exclusion of the "rat-fink" clause, students are demanding a extension of the hours during which women are allowed to visit the dormi- tories.

Dr. Paul Tudor Jones Profile Meeting Monday Night 6:30 Presided For 28 Years At Agnes Scott College James Ross McCain, the 84- year-old president emeritus of Agnes Scott, died October 30 in a local hospital. He had been in good health until Saturday. Dr. McCain served as presi- dent of the college from 1923 to 1951. Earlier this year he completed an a round- the- wo rid tour alone, returning to his home on South Candler in Deca- tur after traveling 29,000 miles. Born in Covington, Term, in 1881, he was the son of Lula (Todd) and John I. McCain, both now deceased. His father was a professor of English at Ers- kine College, Due West, S.C r , which named its library in his memory. The president emeritus came to Georgia in 1905. In 1906 he married the late Pauline Martin, who died 12 years ago. They are survived by six child- ren, three sons and three daugh- ters. They are Mrs. Eugene M. Boyce of Tallahassee, Fla.; Mrs. William C. Brown of Haz- ard, Ky.; and Mrs. Barrington K. Kinnairdof Waynesboro, Va.; surviving sons are Dr. John R. of Decatur, Dr. Paul M. of Batesville, Ark., and Dr. Char- les R. McCain of LaG range, Ga. All of Dr. McCain's sons hold doctoral degrees, one in medi- cine, one in theology, and one in history. The historian is now president of Arkansas Col- lege. His three daughters are all graduates of Agnes Scott. Twenty-two grandchildren also survive him. Dr. McCain held nine de- grees. He had B.A., M.A., and LL.D. degrees from Ers- kine College, an LL.B. from Mercer University, an M.A. from the University of Chicago, a Ph. D . in history from Colum- bia University, and LL.D. de- grees from Davidson College, Emory University, and Tulane University. Before coming to Georgia, he practiced law in Spartanburg, S. C. from 1901-1903. He was a high school principal in his home town from 1903-1905. When he came to Georgia, James Ross McCain founded and was head of Darlington School for boys in Rome, from 1905- 1915. In 1915 he joined the Agnes Scott faculty as registrar and professor of economics; hewas later vice-president of the col- lege. In addition to his 28-year presidency at Agnes Scott, Dr. McCain was president of the Association of Georgia Colleges in 1926 and 1940. Hewas pres- ident of the Association of American Colleges in 1936- 1937. Dr. McCain presided over the Southern University Conference in 1938-1939, and was senator of the United Chapters of Phi Beta Kappa from 1937 to 1946. From 1940-1946 he was a trustee of the General Educa- tion Board of New York. James Ross McCain was in- strumental in founding the Sou- thern Association of Secondary Schools, and worked continually throughout his lifetime to strengthen scholastic standards of these schools. As a historian, Dr. McCain wrote three books, The Exe- cutive in Proprietary Georgia, Georgia as a Proprietary Pro- Ex "oT vince , and The Exe< Trust. He was instrumental in the formation of the University Center in Georgia, a coope- rative program among six in- stitutions Agnes Scott, Co- lumbia Theological Seminary, Emory University, Georgia In- stitute of Technology, Univer- sity of Georgia, and Atlanta Art Association which provides for the sharing of visiting lec- turers, professors, exchange of students, union library cata- logues, and other services. Dr. McCain was also active in denomination-wide Presby- terian work. He was mode- rator of the Presbyterian Church in the United States in 1951-1952, and chairman of the General Council from 1949 to 1951. Dr. McCain was interred at the Decatur Cemetery in a pri- vate service Monday morning, Nov. 1. Agnes Scott College placed the blanket wreatiionthc casket. Dr. McCain had re- quested that no flowers be sent. An open service of worship was held Tuesday, Nov. 2, at Decatur Presbyterian Church, which was attended by mem- bers of the Agnes Scott and De- catur communities. A.A.

Felicia Guest Editor Ann Roberts Associate Editor PAGE 2 NOVEMBER 3, 1965 Editorial A Modern Honor? Hpnor Emphasis Week this year, carrying as its combined title and theme " 'Something is taking its course* : An Ex- ploration of Integrity," is a departure from the norm and note- worthy for that alone. But it promises to be more than dif- ferent; it promises to be good. The basic approach is an exciting and vital one, its manifes- tations original and new. Rather than a discussion specifical- ly of the Agnes Scott honor system, or as is usually the case, a rehashing of the Agnes Scott rules, the work of the week will center on honor in the world in general, a materialistic, self- centered, strife-filled world where honor perhaps no longer exists as a positive value. The topics are such pertinent ones as the honor of student commitment to political and social movements, the integrity involved in dealings among nations as well as individuals. We urge all students to give it a try. Maybe you have been disillusioned, disappointed, bored, or plain confused by past Honor Emphasis programs. Come participate in the new idea. As far as honor is concerned, are we living in an Eliot's Waste Land drought, a Beckett's Endgame void? Hopefully we are not, but come study the problem of honor in the modern macrocosm, then relate the answers to the modern micro- cosm. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Sophs Explain Class Motives At Black Cat Dear Editor: We feel that the PROFILE did not give adequate coverage of the events of Black Cat. While we realize that the freshmen and the juniors took the honors in the song contest, and for this we heartily con- gratulate them, we do not feel that the song contest was the only instance of originality dur- ing Black Cat. The hockey gam 2, which war- ranted only a score box, was certainly full of surprises and, therefore, newsworthy. The seniors' cheerleaders were definitely unique and contribu- ted to the gaity of the after- noon. The sophomore class went to great lengths organizing a pep band, a card section, and a marching squad. We do not want praise, nor do the sen- iors; however, we do feel that, since the first hockey game is a major part of Black Cat, there is cause for us to wonder why there was no more mention of the activities of the afternoon. We do not mean to say that Black Cat should be anything but the upperclassmen's rec- ognition of the freshmen, nor do we feel that anyone should infringe upon the "moment that should have been theirs." However, we do feel the rep- resentation of the rest of the school should not be one-sided or malicious. "Mockings" this week was certainly true to its title. The sophomores appreciate Ra- mona's acknowledgement of their spirit, but we are deeply concerned about her miscon- strued idea of the motives be- hind our enthusiasm. Perhaps Ramona was so ex- cited over the sister classes' victories that she cannot re- member what really happened after the production. Immediately following the closing of the curtain, when all the proceedings were finished, there was an exceedingly long and strained silence. No one seemed to know how to express her happiness and ap- (continued in next column) STAFF Feature Editor Justice Waldrop Editorial Editor Rosalind Todd Campus News Editor Diane Dixon Copy Editor Helen Mann Photographer Pat Stringer Circulation Manager Betsy O'Daniel Business Manager Candy Hodges Advertising Manager Dale Pomerance Published weekly except holidays and examination periods by the students of Agnes Scott College.

In most cases, it will consist of topics not covered in the longer PROFILE editorials. Let us know what you think of it.) San Francisco While most of you were at- tending Black Cat weekend fes- tivities, I was in San Francisco, representing Agnes Scott at the Associated Collegiate Press Convention. ACP is a press service and a critical rating service which functions on a national level. Agnes Scott's newspaper and yearbook have been members of ACP for several years. I've never seen a more dedi- cated group. We had our fun at night, of course, but during meeting hours these college students from all over the coun- try and Canada were trying to solve some of the problems that plague school publications. On a whole, the people I met wanted to make college publica- tions a more accessible and ef- fective student voice. I found this true of the big university dailies as well as of the small monthly papers. I attended technical courses dealing with typography and makeup, a basic course in news- paper policies and organiza- tion, and an interesting course on the college newspaper's vul- nerability to libel. To me, the very fact that our publications often contain libel- ous material is a good sign. This means that we sometimes get excited, at least. All of us learned a lot, and it was good to talk to people with similar problems. If the PRO- FILE seems a little more pro- fessional m the future, it will be because of that really en- lightening convention. Dr. McCain I don't think many of us in the student body really knew Dr. McCain very well, and I don't think we understand how deep- ly his death has touched the people who have been at Scott for a long time. preciation for such a success- ful night. The sophomore class, in a spontaneous reaction, broke the silence and "stomped on the floor." The singing of our song was not intended to overshadow the freshmen's triumph, and we sincerely apologize if this was the appearance. Maybe Ramona slipped out a side door to met t Al Pope or she would have seen the groups of sophomore helpers, along with the rest of the school, hug- ging the freshman and offering sincere, enthusiastic congratu- lations. Ramona also se-.ms to have spent the night before Black Cat entirely in Rebekah, or else she would have noticed the furor on the other side of campus where the sophomores' rambunctious- ness was exceeded only by that of the freshmen. The sophomores are indeed a rowdy lot, but they were warned in class meeting to try to contain themselves this year where the freshmen were con- cerned. However, when your class made the valiant yet unsuccess- This sensitive, intelligent man led Scott for 28 years. Just think how many friends he must have made in that length of time, and think how much respect he commanded. We all know, though, that he was a happy man. Mrs. Byers told me that he said once, "the happiest day of my life will be the day I die." Letter Last week I received a let- ter to the editor which was un- signed. It was about the war in Viet Nam. If the writer would assert herself and tell me who she is, I will be glad to print her "open letter," as she calls it. Heaven Bound I hope a lot of you were able to see "Heaven Bound" at Big Bethel A. M. E. Church last week. If you didn't, make plans NOW to see it next fall. Each year the members of this church perform an original drama, which is along the lines of a medieval morality play. For me "Heaven Bound" puts Negro spirituals and fun- damental Christianity in anew- -and refreshing context* Civil Rights Christian Association is both wise and brave to air the issue of the tangible side of the Civil Rights problem in Atlanta. Their Tuesday chapel and Wednesday panel, supervised by Barbara Dowd, asked the questions many of us may have been afraid to ask. It's good to see that CA is an active rather than passive group, for Christianity is or should be an active religion. Bookstore I wonder if the campus book- store could have a best-seller shelf. If hardbacks wouldn't sell, perhaps they could stock the best sellers as soon as they get into paperback editions. It is becoming a pretty stuffy and "Dryden the wool" place.

It was at this point we concluded that you all had given up your studying to join in the tradi- tional pre-Black Cat chaos. We are aware, Ramona, that your article does not come un- der the heading of news and, therefore, has certain privi- leges, and we normally appre- ciate your subtle wit, but we really felt the sting this time. We also realize that you are not alone in your ideas about our class, and we are disturb- ed. Many have said that in deco- rating the dorms we were again trying to outdo the other class- es - especially the freshmen. Our motives were quite the op- posite; in fact we were under the impression, because of last year's proceedings, that every class was going to do thesama. We did not know that the freshmen had decided against decorating all the dorms, and we were glad that they did dec- orate some areas. It seems, Ramona, that a large portion of the school feels that the sophomores are trying to be too involved in school af- fairs and are becoming offi- cious. We assure you it is not our intent to take command over all projects whether they be in Black Cat or in Rep Council. We feel our ideas, organization, and participation are gq^l, but we realize our shortcomings in presentation. We would welcome any up- perclassmen's help and ad- vice, so that our enthusiasm may not be misunderstood. As for Black Cat, we were merely trying to join in the spirit of it in the only way we knew how, and to show the freshmen a side of campus life we feel is important. We hoped that the freshmen would share our enthusiasm and perhaps (continued on page 4) Visiting Professor Philip Brings India Home To Scott THE PROFILE NOVEMBER 3, 1965 PAGE 3 by Justice Waldrop Mrs. Aley T. Philip, of Kara- la, India, visiting professor for the fail quarter in political science,;, has stimulated mach inter^stun foreign affairs, par- ticularly those of India. A native Indian, Mrs. Philip received the B.A. degree from the Women's Christian College in Madras, which she describes as "very much like Agnes Scott." She earned an M.A. from a government college, the Presidency College, also in Madras. Wife of an engineer who works for the government-owned tele- phone company in India, Mrs. Philip is a lecturer in politi- cal science of India by pro- fession. Karala itself poses many pressing political and economi- cal problems for India, and Mrs. Philip has firsthand experience with these. Being extremely unstable po- litically, Karala's government has been Communistic from time to time. This political instability is rooted in the division of Karala into three comminities, the Christians, the Hindu, and the lower-class Hindu. It has been under presidential control since 1964, but there will be an elec- tion next year. "There is great fear that Communism will come back," explains Mrs. Philip. Mrs. Philip is frequently ask- ed about her Christian name. Not only is she Christian, but she is proud to explain that Karala is a stronghold for Christianity in India. In fact, in 1952 her church celebrated 1900 years of existence. In 52 A.D. St. Thomas converted some Hindus, thereby starting a church which has grown ever since. MRS. ALEY THOMAS PHILIP, visiting instructor in political science this quarter at Agnes Scott, is the woman we've seen dressed in colorful saris. Here she glances over a newspaper in her office. There is no missionary in- fluence in Karala; she herself sends out missionaries. The prevalent impression of India Mrs. Philip has discov- ered here, is naive. Some view India as a place of snake charm- ers and rope-trick players. Concerning student interest, Mrs. Philip observes that stu- dents are interested "only to a limited extent. There is not the awareness here I find in India. Raymond Martin Plans Organ Recital Friday The organ recital given an- nually for Agnes Scott by pro- fessor Raymond Martin will be given Friday, November 5, at 8:15 in Gaines Auditorium. Mr. Martin has planned a var- ied program ranging from pie- ces by Bach to contemporary compositions. His program is as follows: 1. Grand Jeu by Nicholas Du- Mage 2. Chorale - Preludes from Clavierubung III by J. S. Bach including "Kyrie, Gott Vater in Ewigkeit," "Christe, aller-Welt Trost," and "Kyrie Gott, heiliger Geist". 3. Fugue in G (a la Gigue) by J. S. Bach 4. Fantasia on a theme of freswbaldy by Ger- hard Krapf. 5. Le Jardin Sus- pendu by Jehan Alain and 6. Sonata on the Ninety-Fourth Psalm by Julius Reubke. His fourth selection, written by an active recital ist known in Europe and the United States, is especially of interest be- cause Mr. Martin's perfor- mance of it will be its prem- iere performance in this sec- tion of the country. Indian students are so invol- ved, in fact, that they frequent- ly participate in political move- ments such as strikes. She thinks this can be unhealthy, since '^unscrupulous politi- cians can exploit students." Despite the fact that she is a lecturer in political affairs of India, Mrs. Philip notes that she has not been asked by a group, and rarely by individ- uals, to talk on India's political happenings. "It is very reveal- ing," she comments. Very few ask about the Pakistan poli- cy," she said. "I hope my coming here has brought about good will and un- derstanding, because that's why I came," she commented./ "I don't know what I have given," she mused, "but I'm taking away good memories."

We couldn't make the concert because I had two tests Saturday. Come to think of it, we didn't make much of anything. I had a slight break- down after my tests so I wasn't quite ready when he came to pick me up for the game. Then he lost his way three times before we made it to College Avenue. Miss Wilburn got a little excited as we sped across the hockey field in his sporty 1949 Dodge. Dr. Cal- der was more than a little ex- cited since we barely missed him as he Honda-ed by. The traffic was completely thinned out on Ponce de Leon and we were able to get a great parking spot Rich's garage. We made Grant Field by the be- ginning of the fourth quarter, but stopped to chat with one of Wallace's friends who works at the concession stand. He's working his way through school on a hotdog scholarship. We finally got into the stad- ium, but we had a little trouble finding our seats. And we were looking up at a plane with one of those thrilling messages and missed the last exciting play. Did you know, Mom, that Mc- Moyerinshy's Milk is homogen- ized, pasturized, Grade A cer- tified, and vitamin D fortified? I'd be afraid to drink it. My dream s of exciting Atlanta night life really came true. We went to a lovely place for din- ner. The Varsity. I spilled a chili dog down my dress so I had to come back to school to RAMON A change. You guessed it, Mom; that made us a bit late to the party. Oh well, it was a fun day, if not a punctual one. A bunch of us went trick- or-treating Sunday night. (The original plan was to go Satur- day night to avoid the rush, but RRR thwarted that.) The high- light was Dr. Alston's house. He thought I was Mr. Rogers' lit- tle girl. I later learned that we were wearing identical witch costumes. It was a successful venture. My booty amounted to 13 apples, 27 candy bars, 8 packs of candy corn, and one submarine sandwich. I've decided the sophs are a pretty good group after all. They were terrific in their hoc- key win over the seniors. And I met Cindy Carroll and Betsy White in the Hub the other day and we had a great time. I tried out for the College Bowl team. I got off to a great start by missing the first ques- tion, "What's your name?" Then they asked "Who said, 'Let them eat cakel'?" and my finger got caught in the buzzer and all I could think of was Belle Miller. Cassandra, of course, knew that Labuan is a British island in the South China Sea, that William Thom- as Green Morton was an Ameri- can dentist of the 19th century, and that Thomas Wolfe said, "In which she waits alone." So I'm pouting again. I really wish you could ar- range for Butch to come see me. See what you can do. Love and kisses to all, Ramona Just time to get that second wind. Have a Coke.

Sunday they will rehearse at the studio all day, working with the lights and cameras. The show will be live or on video tape. Miss Hutchens, coach, met with the team of eleven last spring several times. The team watched the program together to study the pattern of ques- tions. In the final choice of a team of four, special attention will be given to covering each field and to selecting a balanced team. The squad of twelve will help select the foursome.

Students Must Protect Right Of Choice Dear Editor, It seems to me that in some ways the problem of the restric- tion of our activities because of the limitations of time is especially complex at Agnes Scott. In high school most of us had time to do everything we really wanted to do. All of us felt there was time for what we ought to do. By contrast, on a large university campus, no one has any illusion that a stu- dent can participate in every- thing that is planned for him. A symphony concert, a polit- ical lecture, and a sports event might well be scheduled at the same hour. But here on our little campus, although we frequently assert that no one can do everything, all our planning and advice seem to declare that we expect every- one to do everything, a la high school. A seminar cannot conflict with hockey practice or glee club. A student is urged with equal solemnity to attend stu- dent government chapel, her classes, vespers, a lecture on the theatre, and hall prayers all in the same day. Although none of these events are scheduled at the same time, it soon becomes obvious that full participation would prevent all study, participation in events in Atlanta, social life, corre- spondence, ironing, sleep and thought. Perhaps the most valuable non-intellectual growth of my college years has been the de- velopment of choice fostered by the conflict for my time of many valuable and trivial activ- ities. A person's real value system is demonstrated in time of such conflict. I learned to distinguish be- tween obligation to help as- sure that there would be a good crowd at an event and the deep- er desire to attend because of what I could gain as an individ- ual. I suppose I am an existential- ist in believing that the second reason is much more valid. Poor attendance at college func- tions sometimes reflects alack of maturity on the part of the students, but sometimes it shows that the program is not meeting a need, in which case there is no sense in supporting it. As we grow in making choic- es, our decisions are not al- ways the wisest. Sometimes we miss valuable experiences by chatting with friends in the low- er dining hall. Sometimes we miss essential relaxation and friendship by conscientiously attending chapel. But the process of learning to choose is essential to be- coming a "whole woman." We students should not be too proud to accept advice and guidance as to what programs can be valuable for us, but the ad- ministration, and all the horde of student planners, must re- spect each individual's privi- lege of choice. Grace Winn Legitimate Theater Municipal's "Salesman" Good, Theme Hits Close To Home The Municiple Theatre is now presenting as part of its Fine Play Season Arthur Miller's "Death of a Salesman". "Death of a Salesman" is a master- piece with a timely theme. Willy Lorn an , the protago- nist, is a salesman straggling against his own personality, time payments, and the failures of his sons, for a position of honor a place among his peers. Inwardly, he recognizes his own failures as a sales- man, but he hopes to be very proud of the success of his eldest son, Biff, who is an athlete. However, Biff fails to de- velop into a self-reliant per- son, and when he discovers his father's infidelity to his THE YOUNG Conservatives Club has announced that Miss Eleanor Hutchens of the English department will be the club ad- visor during the coming year. The club is circulating peti- tions supporting the American presence in Viet Nam. When completed, these petitions will be sent to the State Department. by Jane D. Mahon mother, he loses all faith in his father ^nd himself. As Willy Lorn an recognizes that Biff has come to hate him, all his hopes and dreams in life and even his desire to live die. His mind begins to fail, and he gropes in the past for some hope to which he can cling. His thoughts personified as his lost brother Ben yield no tangible evidence that anything is left. He was not honorable in the way in which he carried out his job, he instilled the wrong ideals in his sons, and now as his house is falling apart, he is about to make the last payment on the mortgage. All the things modern man strives for were never achiev- ed by Willy Lorn an. His fail- ure killed him. How many times in our world do men die because the tensions of success become too great? The MunicipleTheatre's pro- duction of "Death of a Sales- man" was utterly realistic. The acting was magnificent. We saw the inner struggles of a man in search for him- self brilliantly portrayed by Howard Wierum as Willy and Micheal Ebert as Biff. Michael Ebert showed so well that Biff was a person who could not take the pressures of the New York (or any city) rat race. Howard Wie rum's por- trayal of Willy was as real as last month's rent. Just as Willy was poignant so was Happy, his younger son played by Joel Fabiani, hate- ful. As Willy pampered Biff, he neglected Happy. And Happy grew to be a conceited, arro- gant playboy on $70 a week. His reaching desperately for the material things his father never had to the exclusion of in- ward development made him dispicable. Joel Fabiani por- trayed this well-known charac- ter of our society extremely well. Every character in this play is someone I have met before, and its theme is a prominent strain in American life. However, none of these con- clusions would have been so clear to me had the perfor- mance not been so brilliant. It was a magnificent and reward- ing experience. "Death of a Salesman" will play nightly at the Community Playhouse through November 7. There are special student mati- nees each week Thursdays at 4:00 and Saturdays at 3:00. Following "Death of a Sales- man" the Municiple Theatre will present 4 'Romeo and Jul-, iet." Bring Shoe TrAibles To Cloirmont Shoe Repair, Inc.

Tutoring is done at two centers. One is at Capitol Homes, a federal government housing project on Memorial Drive, near downtown Atlanta. The other is a Negro center on Richardson Street. These centers are recrea- tion areas with playground and a building where the tutoring is done. "So the tutoring is di- vorced from the classroom, explains Carole. "Although the conditions are not the best for learning, this is good. The children connect the centerwith play." The centers offer many activities and the tutoring is only one branch of its program. Scotties tutor an hour each week, and help with only one child each. There are many more children who need help than are being tutored now. More girls and more cars are needed, since Scotties must provide their own transporta- tion this year. The tutors use basal read- ers, supplemented with word games. This year they are teaching third graders, most of whom have a first-grade reading level. With word games and an encouraging attitude, Scotties try to overcome the children's disinterest. Al- though the child comes because he wants to, most of them are not encouraged to read at home. One of the worst problems is the discontinuity of the attempt to improve their reading. They come back a week later, having forgotten assignments; parents do not encourage them, gen- erally. "We have more problem with the white than the Negro child- ren, " Carole comments. She attributes this largely to the economic stituation. Although initially Scotties in- terested in tutoring received some brief instruction on teach- ing reading, those interested in helping out are welcome with- out training. "I don't think you can do any harm with the re- tarded reader," said Carole. "What they need is interest, encouragement, and just some- one who comes each week, someone they can depend on." Specifically, her lectures are entitled 'The Preliminary Pub- lic Meetings in the Forum on the Capitoline and in the Circus Flaminius" at Emory and "Voting Methods and Places of Assembly of Centuries and Tribes' at Agnes Scott. Although she is presently Professor Emeritus of Latin at Bryn Mawr College, where she taught from 1927 to 1952, Miss Taylor was also a pro- fessor at Vassar College for fifteen years. Included among her unique distinctions is Miss Taylor's Gold Medal of the City of Rome v/hich she received in 1962. She is the only woman and the only American to whom tiiis honor has been awarded. She is also the only woman to have been appointed Sather Professor of Classical Lit- erature at the University of California in the leeturship's fifty year history. Other honors which she has received are honorary degrees from the University of Wiscon- sin, Wilson College, Mills Col- lege, Columbia University and Smith College. Miss Taylor is the author of four books and has a fifth ready for the press. Those which have already been printed are: The Cults of Ostia (1912); The Divinity of the Roman Empv - or. (1931); Party Politics in the Agu of Caesar (1949); and The Voting Districts of the Roman Republic (19601. Mary Virginia Quattlebaum, Deborah Ann Rosen, and Sarah Smyth Uzzell are also named to Who's Who. The Who's Who Among Stu- dents In American Universities and Colleges organization is now in its thirty-second year. It publishes an annual directory listing seniors who have "ser- ved their class to an exceptio- ^\ degree" throughout their years in college. Twenty-three colleges in Georgia have chapters of Who's Who. Only students at four- year degree granting institu- tions are eligible for the honor. Members of Agnes Scott's senior class voted on their own Who's Who members in a class meeting early in Fall Quarter. Their nominations were then sent both to the national Who's Who and to the Agnes Scott administration to be approved.

Felicia Guest Editor Ann Roberts Associate Editor PAGE 2 NOVEMBER 10, 1965 GUEST EDITORIAL Give-and-Take In Car Problem by Ann Glendenning Chairman, Sophomore Car Committee This year Representative Council is taking anew approach to the old question of sophomore cars on campus. For several years the idea has been to stress the number of available parking spaces and the huge desire on the part of each sophomore class for their own transportation. Now the emphasis is shifting to a more give-and- take arrangement. The space and the desire are still there, but, hopefully, a new and more effective solution has been found. On Tuesday, November 2, Representative Council passed a rec- ommendation to the Administrative Committee that our parking problems be studied, current procedures be re-evaluated and the necessary improvements be enforced. This will be done in a joint student-faculty-administration committee, since all groups will be ultimately involved. (The recommendation is now posted on the Representative Council bulletin board.) There has been some question as to why this seemingly indirect approach is being taken. There are several reasons, not the least of which are traffic jams and confusion. It was pointed out to mem- bers of Representative Council that if currently available space was used properly, there would probably be adequate room for addi- tional cars. However, the parking situation needs to be examined regardless of the possibility of additional cars. In addition to these concrete reasons, there is also the simple fact that if students show an active concern for campus problems and a willingness to help alleviate them, the Administration will see further requests in a new light. They will realize that we are eager to deal on this give-and-take basis. As shown in the past, joint discussions lead to a clearer understanding of each party's position. For three years Representative Council has been fighting the barrier of misconception of the car policy issue. This personal appeal will undoubtedly prove more effective than words on a piece of paper. However, we are not lacking the necessary basic facts. There are 364 parking spaces on campus, 205 of which are in constant use. This leaves 159 available spaces. Fourteen sophomores have said that they definitely could have a car spring quarter if permitted by the college. If those people with cars parked in their assigned areas and in the correct manner, much wasted room could be conserved, and there would be no immediate need for additional areas. Our campus is probably unique in its park- ing regulations and enforcement. There virtually are none. Through this recommendation Representative Council is hoping to solve a current campus problem and, at the same time, open possibilities for greater privileges for students. Need We Boycott? This week two distinguished lecturers will be speaking at Agnes Scott and in the community. Their fields are the major interests of somewhat less than a majority of students. How- ever, we urge you to give some serious thought to attending these lectures even if the subject matter is not your first pas- sion. We are not advocating sweeping, indiscrimant lecture atten- dance at the expense of everything else, even at the expense of study alone. But many Scott students allow themselves to fall into the narrow trough of their likes and fail to see beyond their special interests. Lectures are an excellent time to learn from the experts, in any and all fields. Speakers are brought at student expense, with an eye to student likes, for student participation. Think it over. Amaze your friends at the dinner table; lectures are your chance to branch out intellectually. Feature Editor Justice Waldrop Editorial Editor Rosalind Todd Campus News Editor. ...

ART critic for the NEW YORK TIMES was on campus part of last week lecturing on art. Here he con- ducts an informal gallery discussion with students in Dana Fine Arts Building. Dr. Alston Kim Chapin wrote a "profile" of Dr. Alston in last Sunday's Journal-Constitution , and brought out some interesting points. Dr. Alston says in the article that he started out to be a lawyer. "I sure didn't set out to become a college president." About being a minister he said, "I don't be- long to the school of theological morticians. I have always believed. . .been aware of a call- ing. I will always be a minister." He says that there is no phase of his job as college president that he dislikes. "The thing that appeals to me most is the close as- sociation with people, both the faculty and the students." Do you know that he follows baseball and foot- ball closely, is a frustrated golfer, and was a better than average tennis player until a knee injury 15 years ago? President Alston says that Agnes Scott "isn't the place for some girls, but if they want to do serious academic work, this is the place," He says this is true for three reasons: First, "this school has high standards, and a girlcanmore easily do that type of work if she's separated from boys." Second, "girls are more natural and freer to develop where they are not in competition with boys. And third, "in undergraduate life, extra- curricular activities are important. . .where girls can control these, they gain." "Bo" Callaway Congressman "Bo" Callaway who spoke to us in convocation this week is Georgia's first Republican congressman in 90 years. Atlanta Times staff writer Ben Chester made the following observations about Calloway in an article published last November. He is the father of five children, and his wife attended Agnes Scott. His oldest daughter Betsy is National Junior Girls Slalom Champion on water skis. Calloway graduated in the top 10 per cent in his class at the U.S. Military Academy, and was a six letter man in college. The Calloways have a Great Dane that they call "the beast." In his work as a congressman, Calloway is concentrating on Georgia's Third District mili- tary bases, Fort Benning and Robins AFB. Calloways points out that because of these bases he gets a larger share of veterans pro- blems and federal employee problems thancon- gressmen normally receive. The Georgia Congressman's only political objective is "simply to be the best congress- man I know how to be." Student Meeting So far this year, attendance has been good at Thursday student meetings, and nothing is more encouraging to the members of student government. Keep this good attendance record up all year long. You elected these people to work for you, so at least acknowledge their work when they come to you for approval and ad- vice in student meetings. Letters Your letters to the editor prove that the PROFILE is having a successful year, at least in one respect. Many of you now realize- that you have a place to air your views, on campus, and that you CAN USE this place. Nothing warms an editor's heart like a good fight resulting from something he or sheprin- Critic Canaday I don't know about you, but I'm an inve- terate name dropper. Here are some nifty quotes that you can preface with "John Cana- day said. . ." He made these remarks during an informal gallery talk in Cana. Pop art "is terribly old hat except for people with established reputations in it." He did find it, however, "a welcome change of diet." What happened to pop art? "As usual in New York, all the freaks came in." By definition, he says pop art is a "move- ment that sought its material in the crassest vulgarities of commerical art." It is "anit- esthetic." Canaday calls op art "eye-dazzlers" or "hard edge abstractions." About abstract painting, the critic says it is "j^je form of painting that is unique to our day. . .It is good if you enjoy art for art's sake, if your esthetic senses are re- fined enough to enjoy just line and color." His only complaint is that there are "too few people who are enthusiastic about it, who can tell the difference between what has meaning and what doesn't." He says "any great art is appreciable only on the abstract level." Canaday said about Henry Moore;s "Re- clining Figures" at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York that it works very well in the spot, simply because it has no subject; it is just natural forms that look like great rocks hollowed out by the water." "Common people today don't need art; it is for the esthetes," Canaday says. The skyscraper is the twentieth century symbol of our best in the arts. About himself, "I am the most avant- garde critic in New York." About critics in general, "A good critic is someone you agree with." And finally, he says "the most encourag- ing thing about art today is that everything is going on at once." TOLERANCE by Grace Winn Perhaps there are two possible approaches to life. One I shall call conviction. Conviction can be associated with the concept of faith. It is definitely choosing one thing over another, saying "no" to some alternatives and "yes" to others. It is willingness to uphold the decision once made in the face of all odds. When carried to extremes it means close-mindedness, intoler- ance, and inability to learn or grow. The other approach I shall call tolerance, a specialized form of love. Tolerance can grow out of a respect for every individual's ability to find the truth for himself or out of disbelief in the finality of any human conclusion. Tolerance refuses to condemn anyone as to- tally bad or mistaken, any ideas as completely false. Tolerance can lead to perpetual uncer- tainty, hesitation, and stagnation. Our age with its moral relativism, ecumeni- cal movement, search for universal peace, as- sertion of equality, and existentialist philoso- phy places supreme value on the attitude of tolerance. Conviction is admired almost exclusively in leaders of these various phases of the move- ment toward tolerance. We criticize Luther, laugh gently at St. Joan, and feel slightly contemptuous of the crusaders. It is not the fashion to be certain. Will the pendulum swing now in the direction of conviction, or are we part of a steady move- ment toward tolerance? FROM THE ED/TOR ELEVENTH HOUR I hoped I wouldn't have to say this. I told myself that this was a problem which, left alone, would work itself out. But I got too fired up at the collegiate press convention to keep quiet any longer, and your gratifying letters to the editor make me think that you might listen. Students of Agnes Scott, the simple fact is this: My staff and I cannot continue to give you a newspaper every week if you don't help. And you aren't helping. I know you aren't helping because I can count the number of people on my staff on the fingers of one hand. I suppose that there are lots of reasons why you don't work on the newspaper staff. You aren't interested in journalism; you don't know anything about it; it isn't as satisfying to grind out a news story as it is to create a poem or a sketch for AURORA; you can't spare the time. But I WILL NOT believe that all but four or five of you don't give a damn whether your newspaper is good or bad. I cannot conceive of your being willing to read (or not read) a second rate PROFILE every week. There are literally scores of small jobs that, while utterly inconsequential in them- selves, MUST be done each and every week if the PROFILE is going to be a good paper. Five people cannot handle all these jobs and handle them well. It takes a machine. I want to make the PROFILE what I promised you last spring I would make in. But it is a cold hard fact of journalism that I cannot do it un- less I have a staff large enough to mold into an efficient news-gathering machine. It may seem no you that I'm making prepos- terous demands. The opposite is true. You are making preposterous demands on my staff and on me. The members of a small staff have a hard, boring, thankless job, to say nothing about what happens to grades. On the other hand the members of a large, well- organized staff have small assignments and have a chance to choose their own fields to cover. Okay, that's the sales pitch, take it or leave it. You'll keep on getting some sort of PROFILE every week, whatever you think of this editorial. Freshmen aren't eligible for the staff until winter quarter. We meet in the Pub at 6:30 Monday evenings. I can't offer you glory or money, and I can't even guarantee you a byline. We want very much to be a good newspaper. We can't do it alone. So think it over. . . Liverpool Boasts Beatles History Professor Brown by Virginia Russell Noticed any Agnes Scott pro- fessors sporting British ac- cents? Actually, none of them do. Dr. Michael Brown, how- ever, is at least from England. In fact, he is not only from England, but from Liverpool as well. He did start out with an ac- cent, but has lost most of it somewhere between Liverpool and Atlanta. "One reason why I lost it so quickly was that I was never in one place long enough for it to get set." When he was about seven the Second World War started and his parents moved to North Wales until it was over. Back in Liverpool, he graduated from high school, first going to work, and then joining the British Army. In 1952, he was offered a scholarship for study in the United States. "The thought of coming here had never crossed my mind until somebody asked if I wanted to." He had always wanted to teach, and this oppor- tunity opened up the possibility. He received his B.A. from LaG range College, and his M.A. and Ph.D. from Emory. While in graduate school he "wand- ered around" teaching. For a short time he was at Davidson. Then he came to Scott and while here taught summer school at Emory. For three years he taught at LaGrange, and the University of Alabama summer school. He is married to an Atlanta girl whom he met in college, and they have three children. Ac- cording to him, his wife's ac- cent has also helped to neutra- lize his. Although seventeenth century English history is his special ty, he also builds model ships and wields a mean tennis rac- ket. Look out for him on the tennis courts and elsewhere- he doesn't even look half-way lost without his accent. MR. 3ROV/N, inEVv / DlaYION to the history department, here pauses mid-lecture to illustrate his point with a m?p. Misconceptions Exploded The Peace Corps, like many other governmental organi- zations, is plagued by a "knowledge problem." Many people,, including a large number of college students, don't know what the Peace Corps is all about. The misconceptions cover almost every phase of Peace Corps activity, but the truth about the work is simple and less men- acing than most suppose. Here are the most commonly offered objections to joining the Peace Corps: I don't speak a foreign language. Although some knowledge of Spanish or French is desirable, it is by no means necessary. The Peace Corps teaches you what lingual skills you'll need. I don't want to live alone in some remote jungle town. Don't. You can still join. Volunteers are placed in pairs, unless they want to be alone. Many work in cities, where they sometimes live better than they did at home. The mudhut image is just that , real to only a few. You never hear from the Peace Corps after you apply. Often a request, sent in, for example, in March, that in- dicates you'll be ready in November is put aside while more ur- gent requests for June, July or August - are processed. In any event, you'll get a note within a month telling you what's being done. THE PROFILE NOVEMBER 10, 1965 PAGE 3 ) TO THE EDITOR Open Letter Urges Closer Look At War Editor: I am writing an open letter to the girls of Agnes Scott College and to all the other girls of our generation. We are the war generation, i.e. we are the gene- ration that will lose our hus- bands, sweethearts, and broth- ers in the, rice paddies of Viet Nam. We will be the girls back home, watching, waiting, and fearful that today may bring a telegram that will change our entire lives. How many of us 66'ers Thank Sisters For Investiture Dear Editor, One of the most meaningful aspects of Investiture Weekend this year was the spontaneous participation and kindness of our sister class. The flag in the Hub, campus - wide decora- tions, assistance in the Investi- ture services were important parts of this. However, it was the personal warmth of the sophomore class which made this week - end particularly memorable. Thank you, sopho- mores. Seniors have sat down and really thought about what is happening? It seems so far away, and' yet, it will probably touch each and every one of us in some way. We must be prepared to face what is coming or what has already come to some of us. We must prepare ourselves to do without our men, to be able to support ourselves, possibly for the rest of our lives. These are dark and somber times for all of us. They will not go away. We cannot be a generation of happy, devil-may-care school- girls. We must become women before our time. I am not a member of one of those organi- zations recently in the head- lines, nor am I a traitor to my country. I am a mere woman, an average student at Scott, who asks you to recognize what is going on today, to face it, and to learn to live with it before it is too late. Don't laugh about this war, or push it out of your minds be- cause it is on the other side of the world. The other side of the world is as near as the lo- cal draft board. Let us support our boys in Viet Nam. Let us pray to God that this war will soon be over, and that our boys will come back to us alive. Name Withheld By Request SHIP OF FOOLS Porter Novel Becomes More Vivid On Film by Poppy Wilson If a trip into a world border- ing on the allegorical intrigues you, book several hours passage on "Ship of Fools". Although the script writers seem to have heaped on "mean- ing" in Brobdingnagian pro- portions, a sufficient wisp of a good tale remains. It certain- ly cannot be denied that Kathe- rine Anne Porter herself gave the characters and happenings more than a surface value. Yet in the expanse of her book, she could afford the time an d space for a great degree of subtlety, which the movie couldn't and doesn't . But the film is the real med- ium of sight, and because of this can present scenes even more vividly than did the writer; we actually see the steamy throngs of people in steerage, and the pathetic delight that is theirs when they are squirted down with hoses for sanitary conditions. We see too ex-baseball-play- er-turned-lush Lee Marvin, bending over backwards to ogle his dancing partner. I'm con- vinced that that is verbally indescribable. I am just as con- vinced that no words can match the visible spontaneity of Vivian Leigh, when she, having become rather tipsy at the ship party, suddenly breaks into a vigor- ous Charleston almost as an afterthought. Elements of melodrama are prevalent; no one denies this, even the characters, one of whom admits that the band mus- ic is pure "schmalz"; (the music endures, however, for it is at that time necessary for an outpouring of the heart from another character). But the melodrama is good, and long live it. It is never really cloying, simply because of the variety of the scenes, and the different symptoms of each bloc of characters. I thought the acting, by the way, was remarkably good; Jose Ferrer's portrayal of the lech- erous bigot is especially not- able. Perhaps the most exciting thing in the movie is the de- velopment of the relationship between the exiled drug taker, "La Condesa", and the ship Doctor, Schumann, played re- spectively by Simone Signoret and Oskar Werner.

This tournament is for no- vices only, that is for those stu- dents who are in their first year of college debating. Many colleges and universi- ties, primarily from the South will be represented. The sub- ject will be the National Inter- collegiate Debate Topic, Re- solved: That law enforcement agencies in the United States should be given greater free- dom in the investigation and prosecution of crime. Pi Alpha Phi has just re- turned from the Peachtree In- vitational Tournament at Emory University November4,5, and 6. It was open not only for novices, but also for varsity switch- sides competition. (A switch- sides team has two men and has to alternately debate the nega- tive and the affirmative sides of the question.) Agnes Scott entered a four- man team, with Susan Smith and Mary Bush as affirmative and Louise Hess and Candy Walden as negative. These girls repre- sented Scott extremely well and made an excellent showing, es- pecially since this was not only their first college competition, but also the only competitive de- bating they had ever done. The record for the affirmative team was two win-four loss and that for the negative four win-two loss. Several Scotties were on hand to enjoy the "scenery" at Emory and to help the Barke- ley Forum by serving as time- keepers during various rounds. Not only were they an asset much - appreciated by Emory and other schools; they also had the pleasure of hearing some of the finest debating in the coun- try and meeting people from as far away as Arizona, Annapo- lis, Dartmouth, U.N.C., and Mi- ami.

Plans Play Day Set; Swim Meet The Hockey Play Day will be held this Saturday morning, No- vember 13, with teams from Furman University, Judson College and Winthrop College will be traveling to Agnes Scott to compete in two games each. If this season's games are indicative of the ability of the ASC team, a very exciting tournament should be in store for all teams Saturday. Registration begins at 9:30 Saturday morning. The first game, in which Furman will play Judson, is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. At 11:30 Agnes Scott will play Winthrop. After a lunch break, the win- ners will challenge one another and the losers will be set against one another. Gail Livingston, hockey manager, planned the play day. She looks for an ex- citing day. A cabin party is planned for after the game. Players outstanding in pre- vious games Lucy Rose, Alice Davidson, Linda Cooper, Gail Livingston, Joan Kiker will be among those playing in what should be a fine exhibi- tion of hockey. The swimming meet, pre- viously scheduled for Novem- ber 9, has been rescheduled for Tuesday, November 16. Racing events are freestyle, breast stroke, backstroke, individual medly and several relays. The tragic underwater dis- tance swim has been omitted this year. The Americancrawl, backstroke, breast stroke, and side stroke form competition will be held. Diving competition is the loveliest event and will feature Lynne Anthony, last year's winner. Because of the narrow margin of victory (class of '67 over class of '68 ) in last year's meet, managers Grace Brewer and Lynne Anthony expect close races this year. Freshmen managers Mattie Lee Sayrs and Cheryl Phillips anticipate a good performance by the freshmen. This campus event-like those meets of pre- vious years will be a spirited one. The A. A. Pumpkin shoot was held October 26. Junior Janice Ford placed first and sopho- more transfer Elizabeth Cooper placed second. A Hub party and sweatshirt sale is scheduled for Wednes- day, November 17. Doughnuts will be sold to be eaten with free hot chocolate. Long and short sleeved sweatshirts have been ordered in Navy blue, bur- gundy, and yellow. A new "must" is an ASC nightie. They come in red and light blue and will make grand Christmas presents. If you are looking for some- thing different arid exciting, the INFERNO is for you. The Inferno has something for everyone. Art, music, the dance, poetry, and drama are all a part of the Inferno. It will feature an art gal- lery with paintings for sale and for rental. If your money is short this week, lay- away and time payments can be easily ar- ranged for paintings. If you would like to be im- mortalized, you can have a stu- dent artist draw your portrait. There will be continual en- tertainment. Among the per- formers will be dance group, folk singers, pianists, and Blackfriars players. The faculty is participating also. Mrs. Pepperdene will read Irish Lyrical Ballads and Mr. Jack Nelson will read poe- try. Again this year Miss Hut- 4.A.

School Paper Door To Professional Journalism EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the second in a series of articles about job opportunities. Today's article deals with the field of communications. From the small town daily to the vast complex of the New York Times , the smell of ink, the writing of copy, the fever of getting the paper to press may be just the experience to suit your temperament and tal- ents. Without doubt what first oc- curs to mind when one men- tions newspaper work, is of course, reporting. Although the glamor of the reporter seems to have fallen in favor in the fifties, we note with interest that it is definitely showing a comeback. We find that companies are demanding more and more that their writers have good report- ing background for writing as- signments. We note that reporting skills can be useful for newspaper, public relations and abstracting work, as well as serving as good in-training for any future writing activity. Journalism courses and work on the school paper are the most direct means of becoming are- porter. If you really want to write news stories, then bur- row your way into any news- paper office that you can and drive the editor mad until he gives you assignments. Getting out and tracking a story is the best way to learn. Other jobs on newspapers range from artist, production assistant, copy editor, special features editor, advertising space salesman, classified ad taker, and circulation promo- tion to secretary, gal Friday and the myriad of administra- tive and clerical jobs that it takes to keep the paper going. Newspapers probably offer one of the most exciting em- ployment possibilities for the creative individual. Not only are there opportunities for re- porting, but the advertising and promotion departments con- stantly need talent to write copy. The art department calls for an artist with a good eye for graphics. And since news- papers are more and more de- veloping a community-center- ed approach, the need for spec- ial interest articles is con- stantly growing. BUT BE WARNEDI Unlike the book publishing or even the magazine publishing field, the better jobs on newspapers are available with the small town dailies, rather than with the large metropolitan papers. Everybody flocks to the big city directly after graduating tc find that special job on none other than THE NEW YORK TIMES. The number ot neophyte re- porters hired each year, es- pecially women, is infinitesi- mally small compared with the number who apply each year. It is best, therefore, to take your training where you can find it. And if you must come to the metropolis, come pre- pared with one or two years of solid reporting and writing ex- perience.

THE PROFILE g NOVEMBER 10, 1965 8 PAGE 7 La Pin Reports From Paris On Junior Year Abroad (Deidre LaPin of Arlington Heights, Illinois, is spending her junior y?ar in Paris. Her account oi her adventures so far follows.) Although we were one hun- dred and seven "Sveet Breears" who hustled off the Queen Elizabeth into the fine cool mist of a mid-September day, each felt far more like a Julius Caesar conquering again the unknown land of the Gaulois. But unlike our predecessor, we peered through the soupy gray at an architecture inspired by the indisputable talent of a high- ly aesthetic and cultured peo- ple, but original in a most out- landish way; not even the most unimpressed of our members could dismiss with his usual overt nonchalance the fact that we had reached the shores of a country not only decidedly un- American, but slightly anti- at that. The historical illusions sub- sided quickly, however, as our howling stomachs dissolved "veni, vidi, vinci" into a re- sounding cry for food: five days of British cuisine on shipboard had appeased any reservations we may have had about crack- ing the language barrier; but helasl the hunger pangs were not to subside for two weeks more, though only for that ear- ly hour of the day when our rug- ged American bodies were nourished only by cafe au iait, either liquid from the cup or soggily gracing a generous slice of French grilled bread. However, the near absence of breakfast was easily rectified by the delicious cuisine served throughout the day, though frog's legs and snails rarely made it to the table, nor French dressing or French vanilla ice cream; frites (French fries) came through as a national fav- orite in grant style, the oppo- site of everyone's guess. During our first six weeks at Tours where we were to at- tend classes at the Institut Etab- li pour apprendre le francais aux etrangers , cracking thelan- guage barrier didn't appear ex- tremely difficult. Those wor- risome indicator at crossroads told us cordially to "STOP," or that "PARKING" was al- lowed, perhaps for the whole "WEEKEND." Tuxedos, or "SMOKING" could be cleaned at a "LAVOMATIC;" and the two biggest dance rages are surprisingly not the discothe- que, but the "MONKEY" and DEIRDRE LAPIN PONDERED her coming year of study in France on the campus last May. the "JERK" with a "COM- BO." Fraglais could take us but a small part of the way in learning this beautiful but complex and highly inflected language, but luckily, our errors are less noticeable in Paris, where even the grave grammatical faults are currently overlooked in fav- or of an English correspon- dent. The concierge, less au courrant than some of the more fashionable members of Paris society, has proved to be the best critic of our French next to Larouse, of course! Tours, a city of nearly 90,000 inhabitants, is situated in cen- tral-west France, the seat of the chateau country and the beautiful Loire. And although the natives batted their eyes dazedly when I questioned them about Charles Martel and bat- tle of Tours (They reminded one that the site of that great- est example of French courage is situated between Tours and the city of Poitiers; but since it is three kilometers closer to Poitiers that city won the ensuing battle of Names) the region still boasts many fine tales of history. We visited the Abbey of Mar- in outier founded by the kindly Saint Martin, who, according to legend, cut his coat in half to aid a poo r beggar. The ancient edifice now houses a Catholic school for girls, and we were cordially conducted through some of the oldest buildings dating from the 11th and 12th centuries by a tiny, crumpled gnome-like person, vivacious and energetic despite her near- ly eighty years; she immense- ly enjoyed reading every plaque out loud for the "jeunes filles anglaises" who, though we in- sisted to the contrary, were decidedly unable to read French. Close to the abbey, burrowed into a cliff over-looking the Loire, were located the origi- nal grottos of the first mis- sionaries of the region, who, we were surprised to find, includ- ed Saint Patrick, the patron Agnes Scott College Fall Quarter Events Mr. Michael Brown will speak on "Integrity in Foreign Affairs" in chapel, Thurs., Nov. 11, The theme of honor in literature will be traced by Mrs. Margaret Pepperdene in an informal talk in the Hub at 9 p.m. Thursday.

The research would not have to be connected with any course work. This program is thought to be the first of its kind involving a student government and one of the first involving research funds for undergraduates. Bring Shoe Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc.

The superb acting was a just counterpart to a literary tri- umph. Following in the tradi- tion of the masterful Greeks, the seniors indeed "saw life steadily and saw it whole." It was terrific seeing all the families around. Friday night the Dining Hall was packed, so I grabbed the first available seat. It just happened to be between Felicia Guest and her mother. That proved one of my most exciting adventures so far. Felicia has the neatest sister, too. Meeting all these seniors' parents, I understand better why they are like they are. The ceremony Saturday was especially impressive. I wonder if I'll ever get to wear a black robe and trip across the stage. At this rate I may never get to wear a white dress. I've gotten terribly involved lately with m y C. A. service pro- ject. I was assigned a Girl Scout Troop in Marietta, so I had a slight transportation problem. Actually I made it out all right, but on the way back my bike had a flat on the freeway. How- ever, a kind Army sargeant offered to help out. I had a little trouble explaining to the D.O. why I returned in an Army Jeep with four G.I.'s. The main problem was that 1 went out on the wrong day. So I returned the next afternoon. Luckily, Felicia let me borrow her car for the second run. It's the nicest troop. Those 83 girls are the cutest I've ever seen. We spent the first hour discussing various ways to raise money to buy uniforms, and had about decided on dough- nut sales and a floating crap game, when someone just happened to mention that they already had uniforms. The only real accomplish- ment of the afternoon was an exciting game we palyed. You fold your arms and hop on one foot, bumping into people. The object is to knock down as many people as possible. Fortunately the troop had a First Aid course last year. Cassandra is involved, too. Last week she went to the forum on involvement, mainly to meet her friends. I don't care what she does, but I do get tired of stepping on SNCC but- tons every time I cross the room. She's on four com- mitteess, two boards, and three executive councils. I don't know how she does all that and still keeps her grades so high. She's just a little more organized than I am. That's the basic difference between us. Well, that's one basic difference. They've changed my student aid activity from sweeping out the Buttrick elevator. They thought I was ready for bigger and better things. They were wrong. I've been put on the switchboard and I think I'm do- ing rather well. I was on for an hour yesterday and directed only 10 calls for the Hub to Dean Kline and disconnected only 50 others. Remember those tests? Weft* I didn't do too well on them, to say the least. I was walking tli rough the mail room today, contemplating transferring to Bug Hill Junior College, but fortunately I ran into Mr. Brown and he brightened up my whole- day. Kisses, Ramona Symroski Studies Oysters In Summer Research Work Some of you may have seen the article about Barbie Sym- roski in The Atlanta Constitu- tion, entitled "Agnes Scott's Her College, Marine World Her Oyster." If not, and even if so, you will be interested to know some of the student aspects of her summer. Barbie was on a ten week pro- gram sponsored by the National by Sharon La Science Foundation and station- ed in Virginia near Newport News. There were ten students in the program, six men and four women. The purpose was not so much to perform but to learn about research and to dis- cover if this could be what these students wished to do after graduation.

He lectured and led informal discussions at Scott. PROFILE Junior Editor Diane Dixon reviews Canaday's formal lecture, which was pre- sented October 28 in Gaines.) Mr. Canaday's evening lec- ture Thursday, October 28, was entitled, 'The Artist, the Critic, and the Public." He announced his own subtitle for the lecture as "How did Art get that way and can anything be done about it?" The artist (painters and sculptors), Mr. Canaday said, is a "displaced person today." Because there was no photo- graphy, he was needed long ago. "Today the artist works to satisfy himself and he hopes to interest and please others." Mr. Canaday also discussed the role of the dealer in today's art. Art shows today, he as- serts, are "artificial affairs." The dealers are most often very talented observers, yet it is still their business to sell a work of art. It is usually up to the deal- er to decide whose work he is ^oing to exhibit. The dealer must always face the problem of fashion, novelty, and the cre- ation of a demand for art. The critic, Mr. Canaday says, is "an evaluator" and a "so- cial commentator." It is the critic's function to serve as a middle man between the dealer and the public. Mr. Canaday described crit- icism as "a kind of conversa- tion' 1 between the critic and the public. Thus, criticism is no good unless it is read as such. Pop art and Op art Mr. Can- aday named as promising move- ments. However, they receiv- ed too much publicity before they had a chance to prove themselves and mature. Mr. Canaday proposed that one of the best things for art today would be its decentraliza- tion. "New York is so subject to commercial pressures that it eats an artist up." He says that artists and ex- hibitors should stop trying to imitate New York. Also he en- courages more patronage of local artists. Mr. Canaday concluded by naming what he considers as the great arts today: abstract sculpture and modern archi- tecture. He praised the movies and jazz as the two best spon- taneous arts today. gerquist In this program Barbie learn- ed what scientific research was really like and that it took pa- tience and creativity. Barbie's research included growing three groups of oyster larvae and studying their reactions to com- plete darkness, total light, an d regularly alternated darkness and light. Unfortunately, all but a few of the "guinea pig" larvae died. Barbie found that the water in which the oysters were growing was contaminated by dinoflagellates (one - celled plants) that gave off a toxic substance which destroyed the oysters. At the end of the ten week period, Barbie's sponsor in- vited her to stay for another week to work on some other phases of oyster research.Then a really exciting event occur- red. She was asked to work on a research vessel which was to be anchored in the James Riv- er for four and a half days in order to collect oyster larvae and to study the relationships between the distribution of the larvae and the environmental factors which oysters require. The reason for this research lies in the tentative plans of Richmond, Va. to deepen the James River so that Richmond can become a commercial sea- port. Oysters are a major in- dustry of this area, and the of- ficials of the city want to deter- mine whether deepening the river will affect the oysters or not. Those on the vessel did var- ious experiments, and it was Barbie's function to determine the oxygen content of the water at different levels in the James River. During the four and a half days, research went on day and night, but Barbie and anoth- er girl spent the first two nights on land. Then on the third day Barbie volunteered to remain on the ship all night to help with the work. Her offer was accepted, and she did not leave the boat for two and a half daysl This was the first time that a woman had become a real crew member on a research project such as this. Barbie stresses what a won- derful chance this National Science Foundation program is for anyone of any college age with a genuine interest in ma- rine biology. She points out, too, that it is the best way to learn whether you want to do research work or not. Multiple Choice Tests Penalize Depth, Subtlety Hushing, N.Y.- (I. P.)-' Mul- tiple-choice tests corrupt edu- cation," declares Dr. Banesh Hoffman, professor of Mathe- matics at Queens College. Au- thor of 'The Tyranny of Test- ing" charges that multiple- choice tests use ambiguity as a substitute for genuine difficul- ty and foster intellectual dis- honesty. "They favor quick-witted su- perficiality while penalizing depth, subtlety, and creativi- ty," Professor Hoffman as- serts. Dr. Hoffman has been three times a member of the Insti- tute for Advanced Study. An expert on relativity theory, he collaborated with Einstein and Infled on a classic research paper, and has written more than 70 articles on the subject. In the field of testing, he has been consultant to the Westing- house Science Talent Search for the past twenty years. Dr. Hoffman disputes the claim of test makers that they are scientists. He calls their statistical methods "inherent- ly misleading." He recom- mends that a distinguished com- mittee of inquiry be establish- ed to act in the public inter- est in examining the whole mat- ter of testing in education. In recent months, Dr. Hoffmanhas discussed the attempts of Edu- cational Testing Service to de- fend against challenges to its sample questions.

Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 NOVEMBER 18. 1965 BLACKFRIARS PRESENTS LORCA, PERYALIS PLAYS On Friday and Saturday, No- vember 19 and 20 at 8:15 p.m. Blackfriars will present Fede- rica Garcia Lorca's The Love of Don Perlimp lin and Belisa i n the Garden and Notis Per- yalis' Masks of Angels in the Dana Fine Arts Building Thea tre. The cast of characters for The Love of Don Perlim plin and Belisa in the Garden is Herman Humer as Don Per- lumplin, Ayse Ilgaz as Belisa, Dianne Gray as Morcalfa, An- gela/ Saad as Mother of Belisa, Frances Foreman as the First Sprite, and Grace Winn as the Second Sprite. The cast of Characters for Masks of Angels, which will be presented second, is Malie Bru- ton as Margo, Stuart Culpepper as Petro, Herman Flaschka as Dimitris, Margaret Peyton as Marcia, Blair Louise Major as The Girl, and Steve Harding as The Man. Federica Garcia Lorca is the great Spanish poet and play- wright. He died in the Spanish Civil War in 1936. He is pop- ular for the genius of his poems and plays, but he is best known for his play House of Bernan- da Alba . The Love of Don Perlimplin and Belisa in the Garden is concentrated and intense. It illustrates Lorca's gift for weaving fanatsy with brevity and swiftness. He tells the story of an old man married to a young and faithless girl whose soul is awakened by his sacrifice and death. Notis Peryalis is a contem- porary Greek playwright. He is best known in the United States for the film ''He Who Must Die! 1 As Robert W. Corrigan points out, Peralyis, out of deep com- passion for all earth's crea- tures "believes that man, in the midst of squalor, pain, and death is capable of putting on the masks of angels." In M a sks_of Angels Peryalis shows two peopie as they strug- gle to accept themselves, their unhappy past, and each other. Moreover, the author affirms his belief in the power of art to reveal man to himself, and he expresses his faith in man's ca- pacity to be redeemed. The chairman and co-chair- man of the production comTiit- tees are Mary Helen Goodloe, Stage Manager; Blair Louise Major and Bennett Rowan, Cos- tumes; Sally Barr, Lights; Mar- garet Peyton and Kathy Arnold, Blackfriar Name Has Long History by Frances Foreman "At a regular meeting of the Dramatic Club Thursday even- ing, the name Blackfriars was adopted as official title by prac- tically unanimous vote of the members." Blackfriars still meets on Thursdays, but this particular meeting was held fifty years ago. According to the report on page one, Vol. 1, No.l of THE AGONISTIC (forerunner 'of THE PROFILE), February 11, 1916: "The Dramatic Club was organized at Agnes Scott at the beginning of the first semester". It had a "nucleus of four- teen charter members, in- cluding Jeannette Victor, Pre- sident; Louise Ware, Vice Pre- sident; Mary Ellen Harvey, Se- cretary; Lois Eve, Treasurer; Vallie Young While, Property Manager; and Gjertrud Amund- sen, Stage Director." The purpose of Blackfriars continues to be, as was stated then, "to present to the public the best possible dramatic pro- ductions." True to form, "The Kleptomaniac" was the 1916 premier performance for the Blackfriars. Blackfriars had been preced- ed by two societies the Propyleans, and the Mnem osy- neans who took turns present- ing plays at Commencement. The theater in those days was under the big oak tree on the President's lawn (now Gaines Cottage). This practice was discontinued, however, as the uncertainty of the weather did nothing to combat the general uncertainty of an opening night. Then, until Presser Hall was completed in 1940, Blackfriars productions were staged inwhat was then the chapel and is now foundly known as Rebekah Rec. Room and later in the Gym. Today, firmly established in their new theater in the Dana Fine Arts Building, and about to premier with Ma sks of An- gels and The Love of Don JPe rl im pi in_ and _ Be lis a in the Garden . Blackfriars are happy to recall those words, printed so long ago in the 1916 AGO- NISTIC: "To be known as a Blackfriar has always been equivalent to a passport in full to the world of Drama." Make-up; Jean Jarrett, Prop- erties; Malinda Snow, Scenery; Katherine Bell, Sound; Frances Foreman; Publicity; Julie Zachowski and Sue Dixon, Pro- grams; Miss Elvena Green, Business Advisor. The plays will be presented in the new Dana Fine Arts Build- ing Theatre. Due to the size of the theatre, all seats are re- served, and an tickets are $1.25. Miss Green adivses, 'The sooner you buy your tic- ket; the better your seat will be." This year Blackfriars is celebrating its golden anniver- sary.

This lecture is one in a ser- ies of lectures under the title of "The Assemblies of the Lat- er Roman Republic in their Roman Setting." Miss Taylor also lectured at Emory University this week; there she spoke on "The Pre- liminary Public Meetings in the Forum on the Capitoline and in the Circus Flaminius." Berkeley Department Head Spends Week At Scott Agnes Scott will be honored in serving as host to Dr. Ar- turo Torres-Rioseco for the week of November 29 to De- cember 3. Dr. Torres-Rioseco is professor and chairman of the department of Spanish and Por- tuguese at the University of California, Berkeley. He will be visiting under the program of visiting scholars of the Uni- versity Center in Georgia. Dr. Torres-Rioseco is one of the leading scholars in the field of Latin American literature. He was born in Talca and edu- cated in Chile and the United States. In 1930, he received his Ph. D. from the University of Minnesota and has taught at Berkeley since 1926. As visiting professor he has lectured at such institutions as the University of Mexico, Co- by Louise Bruechert lumbia, Stanford, Duke, Guate- mala, New Mexico, and Bryn Mawr College. He has been on the faculty of the summer school at Guadalajara, Mexico, which is connected with Berkeley and the University of Arizona. Nancy Whiteside, a Scott sen- ior and president of the Spa- nish Club, studied under Dr. Torres-Rioseco while in Gua- dalajara. Her opinion of him as a lecturer is very high and what impresses her most is his man- nerly and gentleman-like per- sonality. Dr. Torres-Rioseco is an experienced editor and contri- butor to books, some of which include Revista d e Estudios Hispanlco and Revista Jberg- americana . His Epic of Latin Ame rican Literature is, according to Mrs. Dunstan, head of the Spanish de- partment at Scott, "one of the most popular and brilliant in- terpretations of both currents and phenomena of Hispanic let- ters." While Dr. Torres-Rioseco is at Agnes Scott, members of the Spanish Club will act as hs hostesses. From here he will lecture at various member- institutions of the University Center: His lecture at Scott will be held on November 29 at 8 p.m. in Maclean. The topic will be, "La novela hispanoamericana contemporanea," or The Con- temporary Latin American No- veL Following the talk will be a reception in Rebekah Scott Hall. DR.

Instead of merely concentrating upon our inner circle here on campus HEW brought a reassessment of the world we live in. It touched the outlook of our age as reflected in the neat produc- tion we saw of Samuel Beckett's Endgame. . It also included the complex problem of integrity in politics both national and inter- national. The informal discussions by faculty members were both en- lightening and very enjoyable. Of course, we cannot think about honor without considering Scott's honor. However, this year we have placed Scott's honor in the context of the world of which Agnes Scott is a part. Report On Desegregation This fall the Southern Regional Council, located in Atlanta, Georgia, published a report entitled "School Desegregation: Old Problems Under A New Law." It is the opinion of these writers that school desegregation is taking place at a much slower rate than has been publicized. The following are some of their findings and opinions on this issue. After the 1964 Civil Rights Act it was hoped that a larger portion of the nearly 98% of Southern Negro children still attend- ing segregated schools wouldgain admission to intergrated classes. However, before the 1965 school session the burden of ini- tiatine suits rested almost entirely on the individual Negro. Private organizations for this advancement had limited sources, and they found the prospect of going into all school districts and the mounting costs were frustrating their efforts. Moreover, the United States Office of Education which is now obligated to solve the problems of desegregation was acting feebly. For instance, at the beginning of the school year when accurate school population figures were needed to judge the success of the law, no private or government agency knew the rate of desegregation. The SRC therefore compiled data on this subject which subsequently varied greatly with the estimates published by the Office of Education on October 1. For instance, the Office of Education estimates that 216,000 Negroes-7.5% of the South's Negro pupils-are attending classes with white students. There is every indication that this figure is high. The SRC's figures differ from this total by over 60,000. In fact, these figures indicate that only 5.2% of Negro pupils are attending white classes. Only in South Carolina and Miss- issippi do the two agencies figures come even close to agreeing. The importance of this is that in the absence of current in- formation, optimistic reports were given on the rate of desegre- gation. The truth is that nearly 95% of the South's Negro pupils are still in segregated schools. Evasion has continued under the Civil Right Act. What's more, some Negroes have been intimidated and pres- sured when Negro children tried to enter white schools. In some instances the names and addresses of Negroes applying for transfer to white schools were published, there by inviting intimidation. It would be foolhardy to blame any individual or agency for this slow progress. The Office of Education official is con- fronted with many problems, such as the working conditions of a bureacracy, a small budget, and few staffers. And it is im- portant to remember the policy stated in the Office of Edu- cation's guidelines that "the responsibility to eliminate segre- gation rests with the school authorities and is not satisfied by rules and practices which shift the burden of removing dis- crimination to the class or classes of persons previously dis- criminated against.

Imagery, Simplicity Give Strength To Claudel Play Tuesday, November 11, Agnes Scott and the Alliance Francaise d'Atlanta presented Paul Clau- del's mystery play, L' Announce Faite'a Marie . It was perform- ed by the internationlly famous Treteau de Paris, the same group which performed 1' Alouette at Agnes Scott in 1964". The Treteau de Paris was formed in 1961 by Jean de Ri- gault. The actors and actresses, as well as the directors and designers of the Treteau. re- present the outstanding ability of almost every contemporary theater of Paris. The Treteau is brought to the United States under the auspices of L* As- sociation Francaise de' Action Republique of the Government of the French Republique. The play has eight actors, among whom is France Descaut, who plays the part of Violaine. Mile. Descaut is also known for her roles in Le M^entendu by Albert Camus, La Reine Moj by Henri de Monther- lant, and Le Cid by Corneille. The part of Jacques Hury is played by Daniel Gall who is also known for his roles in Horace and Cinna by Corneille, Tartuffe by Moliere, and Shake- speare's King Le fl r- Paul Descombes plays Pierre de Craon, the leper who is mir- aculously and symbolically cur- ed by Violaine's kiss M. Des- by Lucy Scoville combes has played in Horac e by Corneille, The Taming of th e Shrew by Shakespeare, and L' Otage, also by Claudel. Finally, M. Jean Davy por- trays Anne Vercors, the father of Violaine. M. Davy is per- haps the best known 0 f the ac- tors of L'Annonce Faite _Ma- (per- rie. He is a "societaire' manent member) of La Come- die-Francaise. L'Annonce Faite a Mar ie was written by Paul Claudel inl 9 12, and has been acclaimed as his poetic masterpiece. M. Claudel has the high distinction of being a member of L'Academic Fran- caise. The play was presented in French. The artistic excellence of the play itself, and the dra- matic excellence of the actors are evident in their portrayals of the different roles. The power of the play con- sists in its poetry, its, sym- bolism, and Its simplicity. Coupled with the incomparably fine and clear delivery by the actors, the language, in itself poetically beautiful, is rendered even more moving. The play is filled with sym- bolism and rich imagery; in fact, there is little inl' Annonc e Faite a 1 Marie which is not symbolic. Claudel makes use of these simple medieval folk to give expression to a mystical Conservative Club U.S. Must Free Cuba If Cuba is ever to become free, it must be with the help of the United States. This is the belief of Arthuro Suarez, a former Cuban who spoke to the Young Conservatives Thursday, November 11. Arthuro, who is a student at Georgia Tech, spoke about Canterbury Tales Sunday evening, November 21 at 7:30 p.m. a special service of the Holy Communion will be presented at All Saints' Epis- copal Church, North Avenue and West Peachtree.

This Mass will try to de- monstrate that our Christian experience can be communica- ted in a modern mode such as jazz as well as in "traditional" music. Using selected music from the Hymnal, the choir and con- gregation will sing familiar humns with a jazz accompani- ment being provided by the Mary Sue Rehm Trio. In addition, there will be times during the service when this combo of piano, bass and drums will improvise on their own. conditions in Cuba under both Batista and Castro before he left in 1960. He felt that after the first few months of Castro's regime conditions in Cuba be- came much worse than they had been under Batista. Under Batista there were po- litical restrictions, but the Cu- bans had economic freedom. When Castro took over he seized all of the land. Although he pled- ged to give it to the peasants, the land has remained in go- vernment hands. Arturo described Castro as being "very Castroite" or in other words, he likes himself very much. His rallies are fil- led with Communist agents who report those who do not respond favorably to his speeches. Because of the restrictions and uncertainties inside Cuba, Arturo did not believe that the Cubans there could overthrow the government. However, he believed that organizations, such as the Uni- ted Nations or the Organiza- tion of American States are al- so unorganized to do much good. He said that even if the Cu- bans should become free, they would need an indoctrination period under a country such as the U.S. to give them an idea of what government really is. Otherwise, Arturo believes the Cubans would never be able to keep the Communist out. Baileys Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Phone DR-3-0172 WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.

The monastery' of Montsanvierge is everywhere present in the story, imbuing the lives of these people with a sense of the presence of some- thing beyond the human, beyond the explicable. This incarnation of the divine is revealed to be Violaine, who is also called the "sacrificial" lamb", Justice, and is the "Ma- rie" to whom the tidings are brought. Finally, it is the inherent simplicity of the play which brings out most clearly the richness of its language and theme. The plot is uncomplex; there is almost no real action in the play. The scenery and costumes remain the same throughout. The power comes as a result of these charac- ters' confrontation with each other and most especially with Violaine and her effect on them. Her embodiment of the divine reaches out, touches and trans- forms every other character in the play. It is only by this absolute lack of any artifice, any detailed plot structure, or any real action that the mys- tical and mysterious experience is effectively conveyed. M. Claudel has said: "The actor is an artist and not a critic. His goal is not to make a text understood, but to make a character come alive. He must, therefore, so completely penetrate into the spirit and the feeling of the role he plays, that his language on the stage seems to be nothing more than the natural expression of that character." Of all the characters, M. Jean Davy exemplifies this most clearly when, in the first act, Anne (Jean Davy) tells his wife ( Alice Reichen) that he must go as a pilgrim to Jerusalem. He resists all temptations and entreaties to remain. Yet, as he speaks to his wife of his unwavering determination to set out, his hands are on her shoul- ders, and he caresses her lov- ingly and with a depth of feel- ing seldom reached on the stage. Agnes Scott was truly honored to have had the privilege of seeing this chef-d'oeuvre pre- sented by the masters of the trade.

Agnes Dr. Wharton Shows Films On Cambodia Dr. Charles H. Wharton, ver- tebrate zoologist at Georgia State College, will present his own films concerning the wild cattle of Cambodia at the Bio- logy Seminar, December 2. Dr. Wharton was born in Minnesota, but of a heritage of the western Carolina moun- tains. He holds the bachelor's degree from Emory, an M.S. degree from Cornell, and the Ph.D. from the University of Florida. He has served in num- erous capacities as consultant and explorer for the U.S. gov- ernment in its international en- deavors in cattle and diseases associated with cattle. Dr. Wharton prepared this motion pictures study of native cattle while a participant in an expedition in Southeast Asia in 1951-1952 under auspices of the Coolidge Foundation. He had done animal collecting earlier in the south Phillipine, and brought living collections of re- mote and little known birds, reptiles, and primates to the U.S. In addition to his work in re- mote regions of Southeast Asia, his zoological activities have taken him to remote areas of South America and Africa.

Scott took the ideal, added its own implications, and now boasts of the largest program of its kind. The student - alumnae pro- gram of Agnes Scott plays an effective role in the complete orientation and introduction of the freshman into the college life. "There is no yardstick to measure the value of the alum- nae to the college, for what the college put into us, we re- flect in our own individual lives," commented Miss Ann Worthy Johnson, director of the Agnes Scott Student-Alumnae Program. "This program offers the alumnae the opportunity to know Agnes Scott as it is today, while affording the f reshm an the chance to know an Agnes Scott alumna, which she will become one day." "This is by no means an idea that the alumnae become local parents," cautioned Miss Johnson, "but rather an occas- sion for each freshman girl to have contact with the greater Atlanta area and the Atlanta alumnae. Through the program girls attend concerts, go on shopping outings, enjoy an oc- cassional meal in Atlanta, while at the same time helping to se- cure the ties between the alumnae and Agnes Scott. This is not an entertainment pro- gram, but one which strengthens the alumna-student bonds." Working closely with Dean Scandrett and Molly Merrick, the alumnae - student program continually works to improve. At the end of the year, both the alumnae and the students submit a quick evaluation of the program, pointing out its merits and offering suggestions for betterment.

I recently attended a con- ference at which student go- vernment leaders from eigh- teen Georgia schools were pre- sent. One of the things 1 dis- covered in talking with them was that our student government has a tremendous advantage over most others: the size of college renders communication theoretically "no problem." I began to wonder whether we, the student government, and you, the students, are benefit- ing from the relative ease with which we can let each other know what we are doing. Speak- ing as a representative, I think that lack of communication (both ways, although perhaps a little more on the part of the student body at large) causes a lot of valuable energy to be wasted.

ROWSE Dance Group Sets Christmas Program Agnes Scott Dance Group will present a Christmas program for the student body on Friday, December 3 at 10:30 in Gaines. The title of the presentation is "The Joy of Christmas". Students Hold Bleed-In In Viet Support A "bleed-in" was held at the University of Georgia Monday and Tuesday of this week. The drive was sponsored by the "Is- aacs Movement" to "show sup- port for the United States' poli- cy in Viet Nam." A "bleed-in" is a dem- onstration in which the parti- cipants donate blood through the Red Cross for American sold- iers in Viet Nam. The sponsoring organization is named for Capt. Royall G. Isaacs of Texas who was kill- ed in Viet Nam fighting last year. According to Terry Wood- ward, one of the organization's leaders, the primary purpose of the movement is "to erase the stigma attached to college students and to show the sold- iers in Viet Nam that the peo- ple of the United States are be- hind them." NEXT PROFILE THURSDAY JANUARY 13 "The theme of the program is based on different movements that are expressive of joy", states Miss Dotson, sponsor of the Dance Group The dance is composed of several sections, each of which is reflective of some aspect of joy, "all re- lative to the Christmas sea- son, to the Christ, that he is the source of all our joy". "Certain sections have cer- tain theme movements" which are characteristic and are re- peated throughout. Some of these movements will be seen in other sections with new ones being added. This repetition gives a sense of unity to the several views of joy. The last section which is entitled *'The Mass," composed of stylized movements, forms the climax in the realization of the source of joy. The music that will be used is a collection of trumpet tunes by Purcell. This quarter the practice sessions of the Dance Group have been open to anyone who wishes to come and watch or to dance with the group. The practice sessions are on Tues- day, Wednesday, and Thursday afternoons. Tryouts will be held winter quarter for interested freshmen and upperclassmen. The officers of the Dance Group for this year are Debbie Potts, president; Bobbie Tram- mell, secretary; Mary Barnett, treasurer; Conya Cooper, pub- licity; Candy Walden, costume wardrobe mistress; and Bobbie Trammell, representative to Arts Council. Professor A. L. Rowse, Eliz- abethan scholar of All Souls College, Oxford, will spend the week of November 2 9- Dec em- ber 3 on the Agnes Scott cam- pus. On this, his third visit to Agnes Scott, he will speak in various classes, in convocation December 1, and in a public lecture at 8:15 p.m. Thursday, December 2. Dr. Rowse won scholarships to Oxford, where he held a scholarship in English litera- ture at Christ Church, obtain- ed a First Class in Modern His- tory, and was elected a Fellow of All Souls the blue ribbon of an Oxford career-at twenty- one. He has written many books nineteen of which are in the Ag- nes Scott library. Among the best known of his works are The England of El izabeth (which has sold over 120,000 in Brit- ain alone,) The Exp ansion of E lizab ethan England, Tudor " Co rnwal l and bir R ichard G ren- vill e of the Revenge. In 1958 he was invited to give the first Trevelyan lectures on their foundation at Cambridge Uni- versity; these form his book The Elizabethans and Ameri- ca. He has also written a his- tory of the Churchill family, complete in two volumes, The Early Churchills and.TJhe_.La.ter Chu rchill s. This latter book includes a biography of Sir Winston Churchill. Dr. Rowse has also written some literary books such as A C ornish Ch ildhood, The Eng- lish Spirit, (a book of essays) and Po ems Partly Ame rican.

Debaters Place Sixth In Tourney Agnes Scott Novice Debate- Team was represented at the University of Georgia Novice Debate Tournament last week- end by Candy Walden, Louise Hess, Susan Smith and Mary Thomas Bush. The debate topic was Resolv- ed: Law enforcement agencies in the United States should be given greater freedom in inves- tigation and prosecution of crime. Carol and Louise who took the negative position won four out of six debates and ranked sixth place overall in the tournament. Susan and Mary who repre- sented the affirmative team won three and lost three. Susan said that she and Mary presented a trick case and "were highly complimented on it." The team was very satisfied with the re- sults, says Susan. Ellen Hines, a former Agnes Scott student and now practic- ing attorney for Southern Bell in Atlanta, went along to ad- vise and act as chaperon as Dr. Hayes was unable to attend the tournament. There were twenty - two schools represented at the tour- nament. Some of the schools the Agnes Scott Team debated in- cluded Vanderbilt, Tul a ne, Uni- versity of Georgia, Davidson and Morehead. Emory walked a- way with all the speaker awards and also was acknowledged as the best four-man team. More- head won the best Negative team and Auburn the best Affir- mative. THE XROFILE Jirdt tlte bfade an J tit en the ec Felicia Guest Editor Ann Roberts Associate Editor PAGE 2 NOVEMBER 24, 1965 ON VIET NAM Students at the University of Georgia have taken a significant step forward in holding their "bleed-in." One of its organizers stated that among his motivations was the fact the "the morale of the fighting American in Viet Nam is being lowered" by protests at home. Well, it's about time someone took action in support of the United States position. We are engaged in a full war in Viet Nam; we are increasingly involved. Our military presence is not only justified, but in- evitable. It is both necessary and morally right. It is necessary, of course, because if South Viet Nam falls , to the Communists, so doubtless will fall most of Southeast Asia. This has been the Soviet strategy in the past and it will remain their method in the future. It is morally right because the United States is the actual, if not always acknowledged, leader of the free world; as such we must protect those countries who wish to be part of that world. This has long been our policy and it is the reason we first entered Southeast Asia. It was an extension of our action elsewhere. If we had fought Communist aggression in Korea, if we had fought it in Greece, we had to fight it in Asia. The United States is not forcing freedom on the people of South Viet Nam. Their dedication and fervor in this fight testi- fies that liberty is their desire also. We do not want to make South Viet Nam like the United States; we only want her to have the opportunity and freedom to decide her own fate. What is important is that the Vietnamese govern their country as they freely choose, not that they accept any imposed standard, in- cluding that of American democracy. The war in South Viet Nam, furthermore, cannot be properly viewed as a political issue; it must be seen rather as a national one. The present situation has developed under both Democrats and Republicans and now needs non-partisan support of United States citizens. We believe the protesters represent the minority. And too long has this minority isolationists, true pacifists, and plain draft-dodgers been the loudest voice. This is the time for sup- port of American action in South Viet Nam. Everything has been against us, but we are at last winning. It is a long prospect. We have to combat difficulties ranging from Tolstoy's theory of history to the actual ill-fated experience of the French in Southeast Asia. Even the most optimistic predict a minimum of five years needed to win. But we can win, and indeed we must. We need not be "Remember the Maine" flag-wavers to realize that ours is a double responsibility: first, to give the South Vietnamese people the freedom they want and for which they fight; second, to maintain the freedom we have always valued above all else and for which we have always fought, for ourselves and for others. Our national purpose, past and present was best articulated in recent years by John F. Kennedy, dead two years this week, who reminded us that we must be "unwilling to witness or per- mit the slow undoing of those human rights to which this nation has always been committed and to which we are committed today at home and around the world." Sunday Is Dead On November 7, only 50 people signed out on the lists to go to Sunday night church. A probable 25 others signed out on slips to go to church with dates. This total represents approximately 10 per cent of the college community, which means that 90 per cent of Agnes Scott students are not going to church Sunday nights, and many are on campus. We are not saying whether this is the way it ought to be. The problem is that this situation exists, and we are ignoring it. For instance, even with the great majority of students remaining on campus Sunday night, nothing can be scheduled at this time because we are operating under the assumption that everybody is at church. This assumption is false. The objection to Sunday night meetings cannot be because Sun- day is a holy day. Many activities, such as Athletic Association's tour of Atlanta and the recent Christian Association discussion groups, have been on Sunday afternoon. However, even activi- ties that are planned to be scheduled after most people have re- turned from church on Sunday night are forbidden. Even the Library which is open every other night is closed. Because Monday classes must be prepared for, this is one of the times when we need the Library most. The number of people who study in Buttrick Hall Sunday night is evidence that people are looking for a place to study. If the Library must be closed one night of the week, it would seem much more logical to close It on Saturday night when most of the campus actually is gone. A policy that is based on the activities of only 10 per cent of the students does not seem sensible. We are simply closing our eyes to the real situation. Last year's extension of Sunday night late time limit was a step in the right direction. If there are moral objections to scheduling activities at cer- tain times on Sunday, this is understandable. But if the only reason for not scheduling events and s : opening buildings on Sunday nighcis because it is assumed that everyone is at church, the facts need to be re-examined. QUESTIONNAIRES j Many thanks to the 125 of you who returned the PROFILE questionnaires. Replies ranged from "we laud and magnify ' thy holy name" to "open your eyes". And then some. Editorials and features were substantial leaders in the category of stories you like best. You like college press releases and sports stories least. You would like to see more reviews and features, and a lot of you want less press service stories. These results are pretty much as we ex- pected them to be, but the number of you who say you don't like the news from other schools is a little disappointing. We feel that the PROFILE has a real responsibility, when space allows, to print the news of other schools. A small college newspaper should try to present its news in perspective, and we select our press service releases accordingly. They aren't just fillers; they're carefully chosen to broaden our horizons a little. We aren't the only college with opinions on pep pills, on Viet Nam, and on a hundred other topics. Ramona walked away with the "favorite specific story" trophy. It was a landslide triumph. By the way, Ramona just didn't have time to write a letter last week. You know how that story goes. . . We received some good specific suggestions on topics to cover, and will try to work up some stories from them. Thanks again for your replies. Random comments: "Incite us to riot." "Satirize!" "Cater to the diversity of the student body not primarily to the Gung-Ho." "Perhaps a column of what's going on at other schools." "BE BROADMINDED." "Cover events on other campuses in Atlanta." "Please don't let Ramona turn sweet." OBSERVATORY Ever notice how many upperclassmen have never been to the observatory, and how many people graduate or transfer from Scott without ever having seen the place? Scott and UNC are, to our knowledge, the only Southern schools that have - observatories, and it is deplorable that so few of us will even bother to walk across the street to use it. Sometime, when you feel like you can't take another paragraph in a textbook, go up to Bradly Observatory. There's nothing more refreshing than a good long look at Saturn's rings, or a slow scanning of the face of the moon. And nothing can give you a real sense of perspec- tive faster than staring at another galaxy. Think about that. Another galaxy. The Observatory is usually open three or four nights a week from shortly after sunset until 8:30 or 9 p.m. If the lights along the path are on, the Observatory is open. The arabs would understand what we're trying to say. They pray that they "may never forget the uses of the stars." ELECTIONS Mortar Board and Rep Council have begun to tackle Scott's most hideous Gordian Knot, our elections proceedures. This issue is many-sided, to put it mildly, and is certain- ly one of our most pressing problems. Give any suggestions you have about revamping our proceedures to a Mortar Board member or to your Rep Council representative. They need all the help they can get. Editorial Dining Hall Investigation There has been concern among some stu- dents recently over certain aspects of the din- ing hall. This concern seems to center in two regions: the personnel and the food itself. I met with Mr. Rogers, Mr. Mann, who is dis- trict manager and temporary manager at Ag- nes Scott and Mr. Kuneyl, treasurer of Cam- pus Chefs, to get some idea of what is hap- pening. As to the personnel, students seem con- cerned mainly about the lack of familiar faces among the staff. There are two dif- ferent reasons for these vacancies. At the end of last year each employee was given the opportunity to join Campus Chiefs at no sal- ary reduction or other loss. Many accepted. This year, there was a worker surplus which had nothing to do with either the old or new management. For pure economic reasons these obviously had to be discharged. To do otherwise would be poor business prac- tice. Soon after school started there was an un- fortunate incident among some of the older staff members and the management, which resulted in the resignation of several em- ployees. Since that time the management has been completely changed and both Mr. Rogers and the new supervisor have gone to these people and invited them to return. There has been no response. One ex-staffer still fias a paycheck due. When she comes to pick it up, she will again be offered the chance to return to Campus Chefs. A business such as Campus Chefs must be practical, To beg someone to return to work as a personal favor would be untenable in any business, especially one still trying to estab- lish itself. As to the matter of food, all three men agreed that they had heard virtually no com- plaints about the food. It is impossible to correct deficiencies if the caterers don't rea- lize they exist. Some things, like a tea-bag shortage, are obvious, but a supervisor who doesn't eat every meal at Scott can't be aware of egg-shells in the scrambled eggs, etc. If you think there has been a surplus of pork lately, they want you to tell them, not com- plain among your'friends. If you want hard- boiled eggs for breakfast, tell them. Mr. Rogers has promised to put up a larg- er suggestion box complete with paper and pencil for this purpose. Rep council has a member especially assigned to the dining hall problems. Both of these channels must be used to be effective. We personally feel that the treatment of the personnel problem has been more than fair. We will reserve judgment of the food situation until we can see the results of what we hope will be increased communication between those who eat the food and those who serve it.

THE FRO FILE NOVEMBER 24, 1965 PAGE 3 Sentiment Dangerous In Viet War Dear Editor, In regard to the recent letter to the Editor: The sentiments expressed are commendable, but using pure sentimentality as the only context for an evaluation of a critical issue is dangerous. The regard for U.S. mili- tary men fighting in Viet Nam I presume to be shared by most of us. And I have not met a student who is of the opinion that the Vietnamese situation is removed and faraway with no bearing on our individual lives. As for the devil - may - care schoolgirl image, I can only suppose that such an image is now as it always has been, a myth. I would present a different framework of reasoning. It seems to me that whatever conclusion the individual rea- ches concerning this complex issue should be the result of a careful analysis beginning at this point. First, the freedom to dissent is the requirement of our de- mocracy. It is not patriotism to blindly espouse your coun- try's cause in its every conflict, nor is it traitorous to take is- sue with foreign policy by means of peaceful demonstration* One may occasionally question the timeliness or taste evidenced in some protests, but not therighc of the participating persons to so express themselves. It is ominous to hear those of the consensus opinion automatical- ly call into question the motives and integrity of the vocal mi- nority. There is nothing in- herently unpatriotic in a citi- zen's disapproval of his coun- try's policies, nor is there any- thing meritorious in the self- proclaimed patriot who is spouting forth with "my- country-right-or-wrongism .' ' It is Emerson who said, "If anything cannot bear free thought, let it crack," His ad- vice is as relevant to foreign policy as to social regulations at a college. Linda Lou Colvard Students Form Committee For South Viet Nam Dear Campus Editor: The college-aged students of the United States have been bad- ly criticized in recent months for their attitude toward the Vietnam issue. This criticism has resulted from the unfortu- nate wide - spread publicity given to the small, noisy mi- nority of students who have been opposing the American defense of Vietnam. Consequently, Young Repub- licans, Young Democrats, and Independents have come toget- her to form the new bi-partis- an National Student Committee for the Defense of Vietnam. This new student committee has no association with any extra - party political organization of either the right or the left. Our sole purpose is to mobilize col- lege students in a concerted program of responsible action in support of American resis- tance to Communist aggression in Southeast Asia. Specifically, we will engage in a number of activities on the campus level. First, our com- mittee intends to distribute and collect petitions supporting the United States defense of Viet- nam. If your college already has distributed petitions on be- half of American policy in Viet- nam, we would appreciate your indication to us of the number of students who have signed. At the end of November, we plan to announce nationally, the total number of student signatures favoring the American commit- ment to the people of South Vietnam. Secondly, we are urging col- lege campuses, especially dur- ing the period from November 22 to December 10, to engage in a series of rallies support- ing American policy in Viet- nam. If you feel that it is pos- sible for your university to hold such a rally during this period, please let us know the date for the rally and any information you might have as to its nature. Thirdly, we plan to distribute educational materials to col- lege campuses explaining this country's position in Vietnam. Please let us know if we can be of assistance to you in this area. Finally, we urge students on your campuses to send Christ- mas cards to our soldiers in Vietnam. You can address these cards in care of the World Affairs Forum, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah. The cards must reach Brigham Young by December 1, if your soldiers are to receive them on Christmas Day. We welcome your cooperation and assistance in this bi-par- tisan, national program to show the American people that the new student radicals do not speak for our generation in their irresponsible opposition to our country's policy in Vietnam. If you have any questions as to any phase of our committee, please feel free to write us or to call the individuals in Wash- ington whose numbers are list- ed below.

Those who have relied on "pep pills" to keep them alert for all-night cramming will find the pills aren't easy to get anymore. A bill signed by President Johnson last sum- mer tightens federal control over ampheta- mines and barbiturates and increases the pen- alty for unlawful sale of the drugs. Now, anyone who unlawfully disposes of the pills (by selling, delivering, etc.) to a person under 21 can be fined $5000 and sentenced to two years of imprisonment for the first con- viction. Af the Federal Drug Administra- tion (FDA) plans to spend about $10 million a year enforcing the new law. Amphetamines are chemical stimulants, often called pep pills. Benzedrine, Dexedrine and Dexamyl are the trade names for the most common ones. Bartiburates, "goof balls," are chemical depressants such as sleeping pills. Though classified as non-narcotic, the drugs have been labeled a menace tQ health and sanity. Neither is available legally without prescrip- tion. The death of a student at the University of Toronto last May was attributed to an overdose of pep pills during an exam week. Rumor has it that four students at a well-known university in Tennessee died from a similar overdose recently. Dr. Joseph F. Sadufk Jr., medical director of the FDA, told the American Medi- cal Association last summer that 4< the drugs can cause serious addiction, illness and some- times death." "Taking pep pills in order to take final exams casts some doubt on the stability of the individual and sets him up for additional problems later," says Dr. Harold Moon, as- sistant professor of psychology at Auburn Uni- versity. But the concern of medical authorities hasn't influenced the college students who need to stay up all night to cram. In order to stay awake, they take a pill easily available in recent years on most college campuses. One student estimated that 60 per cent of his friends at a state university had taken "dex," and the FDA estimates that half of the annual production of more than 10 billion pep pills and barbiturates is finally sold through illegal, non-prescription channels, mostly to juveniles and college students. College students usually obtain the pills from classmates and friends who have pre- scriptions for the drugs (the new law limits the number of times a perscription can be filled) or who have family or business con- nections with a drug store or drug company. Sometimes, says the grapevine, the source of supply is medical or pharmaceutical students. The pills and capsules are available in a variety of colors and potencies. The going rate for the most common pill varies from 30 cents per pill to at least $1.25 and maybe higher. Premium prices are charged during exam weeks, when the demand is greatest. LATE HOURS IN the smoker often bring the g temptation to take "pep pills" to get through the rest of the night. It's usually against the law, and its dangerous. With a prescription, the amphethamine pills are available in any drug store for about five cents apiece. They are used in treating over- 8 weight, depression and narcolepsy. Side ef- fects include insomnia, excitability and in- creased motor activity. Overdosage results in ft restlessness, dizziness, tenseness, irritabil- ;X ity, chilliness and sweating; often it creates a sense of exhilaration or a false sense of well- |:j being when the individual is fatigued. $: Techniques for using the pills vary with in- |:J dividuals. Some take a pill about 8 p.m., -x sle> p for an hour, then get up and are set for a night of studying. Others take a pill and sit g down immediately to study. Others prefer to study until about 10 p.m., then take a pill to ward off drowziness they fear will overcome $ them later. vj Reactions to the pill also vary. Some say the pills do no good whatsoever. "It's a fallacy!" snorted one who had used & several his freshman year. &; Others say that with a pill they can tune out # everything around them and have perfect ; concentration for hours. Still others recall having thought they were alert while writing a paper or an exam, and then later re-reading the paper or exam book to discover that all they wrote was inco- herent. Studies conducted by two Harvard medical school researchers in 1964 indicated that am- phethamine pills dull judgement. Not affected by the new law are the caffeine tablets that are sold over-the-counter in drug stores, truck stops and assorted other places. These pills are also used on many college campuses, though students report they are not nearly as effective as amphethamines. However, doctors don't approve of the caf- feine tablets either. Said one, 'They are poor crutches, and any crutch is bad. There is ter- rific letdown when the pill wears out. The stu- dents try to mask signs of their troubles rath- er than facing up to them and solving them." Social Council Quietly Working One important campus organization which does not stay in the limelight, yet is constant- ly working to provide a more interesting social life for Scotties is Social Council. Social Council plans the "mixers," bridge parties, entertainment films, fireside chats, and fashion shows. The But Of Faith This year two innovations have been plan- ned. One is a bridal show in winter quarter and the other is an interior decorating dem- onstration. We commend Social Council for a creative and imaginative program. Faith is a matter of BUT. We do not see life form a pattern that can be expressed in one clause. We condemn such statements as "Life is beautiful" and (with less harsh condemnation at present) "Life is painful." Yet we do not live our lives on the basis of two clauses corrected by AND: "Life is painful, and it is beautiful." Everyone must make a commitment, which if verbaliz- ed would be a BUT statement. "Life is beau- tiful, but it is painful," or "Life is pain- ful, but it is beautiful." The first clause is an expression of what is only an appearance, only transient, or at least of what is less important. After the BUTcomes what is real, permanent, or essential. There is every possible difference between the two state- ments. Which is correct "Man's attempts to achieve 'human dignity* can be glorious, BUT the world's ugliness gives him limits he can never overcome," or "The world's ugliness gives man limits he can never over- come, BUT his attempts to achieve 'human dignity' can be glorious."? "God is sup- posedly in control, BUT man declared him dead" or "Man has supposedly declared God dead, BUT God is in control."?

He received a Bachelor of Music degree from Furman University, and a Mas- ter of Music degree from the Eastman School of Music in Congress Considers School Tax Credits by Claire Allen Tax credit for the expenses of higher education is a con- gressional issue of interest to college students and their par- ents. In the past few years, various plans for tax credits or deductions to benefit those who pay college fees have been proposed in Congress. The sponsors of one plan ranged in political ideology from Barry Goldwater to Hu- bert Humphrey. At the close of the last session of Congress, none of the plans proposed had been enacted, as the result of which this issue will be ex- tended into next year. On September 2, 1965, the Senate passed a $4.7-billion higher education bill providing federal scholarships for needy students and funds to streng- then colleges which are trying to cope with rising enrollments. However, the bill neglects the lower-middle income parents who carry the financial weight of their childrens' educations themselves and also neglects the private colleges and uni- versities. Private colleges and univer- sities must deal with rising prices, increasing enrollments, and the necessity for expanding facilities, which requires in- creasing the tuitions. Raising tuition fees creates a situation in which many students decide to attend state supported schools where a college educa- tion is less expensive and they are likely to receive federal Decatur Alums Attend Chapel Dance Program Decatur Agnes Scott Alumnae Club will hold its December program on "Christmas and Contemporary Dance" jointly with Agnes Scott. The presen- tation scheduled for November 23 has been postponed until December 3. At that time, the Alumnae Club will join Scott's student body at 10:00 a.m. in Gaines Chapel for the Christ- mas Contemporary Dance pro- gram. The Alumnae Club's regular monthly meeting will follow the chapel presentation. Refresh- ments will be served at that time in the alumnae house. Hos- tesses for the occasion will be Mrs. S. G. Stukes, Mrs. C. W. Dieckman, and Mrs. Robert On, of the Decatur club, along with other members of the At- lanta Alumnae Club. funds to aid in financing their educations. Roger Freeman of the Hoov- er Institution at Stanford Uni- versity has proposed a tax- credit plan which would benefit middle-class families and pri- vate colleges and universities. Mr. Freeman maintains that colleges and universities could boost tuition revenues by as much as $50,000,000 annually under the plan without imposing burdens on parents. He suggests a 100% deduc- tion on the first $100 of col- lege fees, with a 30% credit on tuition fees paid between $100 and $500, and 20% credit on payments between $500 and $1500. The maximum credit per student would be $420 . This indirect method of aid rather than direct federal grants would remove the danger of conflict by participation of private institutions in federal funds. The issues of separa- tion of church and state and federal control would be avoid- ed. Also, the federal bureau- cracy would not be expanded. Rochester, New York. He has served as Minister of Music at Druid Hills Presbyter- ian Church, and now he and his wife, who aids him in directing the Scott Glee Club, are jointly in charge of music at Peachtree Presbyterian Church. Mr. Boyter founded the At- lanta Choral Guild in 1939 and was its director for 20 years. Another of his varied jobs is that of director of radio and television for the Atlanta Board of Education. The Glee Club, consisting of more than 80 members, will present a program with a wide range. From a madrigal by Monteverdi, "Hodie Chrisms Matus Est"; a selection from the Romantic period, 'The An- gelic Greeting" by Brahms; to more modern compositions including two by Flor Peeters, "Jubilate Deo Omnis Terra" and "in Excelsis Gloria". Others include "No Rose of Such Virtue" by Smith, "The First Mercy" by Warlock, "Madonna and Child" by Do- nato, "Christmas Dance of the Shepherds" by Kodaly, and Diemer's "Alleluia." Participation on the part of the audience on the form of familiar carols is being planned. The Glee Club will hold try- outs again Winter Quarter for those girls interested in join- ing them. Dues are $2.00 and the scheduled rehearsals are Tuesday from 7:00-8:15 p.m. and Wednesday from 5:00- 6:15 p.m. in 4 Presser Hall. These are the major topics covered in the Nov. 9th meeting of Rep Council: WEEKEND Policy Committee is working on the possiblity of changing the official weekend from Saturday and Sunday to Friday and Sa- turday. This change would ef- fect only freshmen, who are allowed one social engagement during the week and two on weekends. PRIVATE PHONES Rep Council passed a recom- mendation from House Council to the effect that students be al- lowed to have private phones. These are the conditions stipu- lated in the recommendation: 1) All students are to partici- pate in phone co- op whe- ther they have private phones or not. 2) Phones must be installed in rooms unless a whole hall decides to install a phone. 3) No one except the owner is responsible for answering a private phone. 4) House Council shall have the power to have private phones removed if they be- come a nuisance. News will be posted regarding what students desiring private phones should do. ELECTIONS Rep Council will spend several meetings discussing election procedure.

Miss Giles states that she is finding her first real teaching experience very rewarding. She sees as particularly interesting the difference in attitudes of men and women students. She taught men while she was at the University of Virginia and says that they seldom show excite- ment. She finds Scotties much more appreciative of her ef- forts as a teacher and feels that this is more gratifying to her. As an instructor of cytology, Miss Giles remarks that she spends as much time prepar- ing her lectures as she did studying in college. However, she says that the pressure is not as great as that in studying for tests and examinations. In addition to teaching cyto- logy, Miss Giles instructs all of the freshman zoology labs.

THE PROFILE NOVEMBER 24, 1965 PAGE 5 Sophomores Win Swim Meet; Freshmen Br eak Old Records A large crowd was on hand Tuesday, November 16, to watch the sophomores inundate the freshmen, juniors, and seniors. The final scores were sophs. 37, freshmen, 34.5, seniors 24.5, and juniors, defending champions, 21. Tension ran high as records were broken and tied. The meet narrowed down at the end to a close race between the sopho- mores and freshmen. The freshmen are to be con- gratulated on breaking three previous records and tying one other. The freshman team for 80 yard medley broke the rec- ord set by the class o f '65- 55.1 sec.- by finishing in 49.0 by Ann Teat seconds. Cheryl Philips was especially outstanding by breaking the 4- yard. freestyle record and 60 yard individual medley record- previously held by sophomore Lin Russ. Cheryl beat Lin's record by 5.9 seconds. Freshman Janice Autry tied Louise Watkins' record for 40 yard backstroke with a 27.9. In the form swimming, Grace Brewer, Susan Smith, and Courtney Tuttle were among the most graceful swimmers. Excellent diving was shown by all three participants - Lynn Anthony, Louise Watkins, and Mary Ellen Bond. The following is the over-all outcome of the meet: CONNIE MAGEEsets out a greased slide to catch pollen from the air, as part of her independent study; she smiles triumphantly with slide box in hand. Observatory Dome Is Site Of Magee Study by Justi While the rest of the campus is still stumbling out of bed, Connie Magee, a seniorbiology major, dressed in tomboy garb, steathily climbs "ole obser- vatory hill." Like a veteran burglar, she prowls through the observatory, gathers a slide box, a tube of stop-cock grease, and a ladder. She goes to the top walkway, swings a leg over the gutter, and sets out a greas- ed slide that completes the cer- emony of catching the pollen in the air. Connie has just begun a two year study, of which she will do nine-months work, of the pol- len in the area. Winter and spring quarters, she will begin her independent study project for which these daily excur- sions are in preparation. Each day she places an oiled slide on a stand atop the obser- vatory, which is an ideal place, not being surrounded by build- Alums Commend Sponsor Program ce Waldrop ings. The pollen gathers on the slide. Connie later stains these slides. Her independent project will include identifying the different pollens. According to Dr. Doerping- haus, the object of the study is to aid a group of doctors in the area by making a positive iden- tification of pollen in the air and correlating this with a quan- titative study. This will enable the doctors to predict what pol- len will be in the air a week or two in advance, so they can give patients with allergies a shot before the air is too polluted. The pollen keys which are available at the present time are inadequate, and "it may always be inadequate identifi- cation," according to Dr. Doe r- pinghaus. t Once the exact pol- lens in the are are identified, the doctors can crush these pollens, and chemically analyse them to make treatments- How does participation in the alumnae - student program ef- fect the outlook and opinion of alumnae of Agnes Scott? This question posed to three Agnes Scott alumnae aids in the un- derstanding of the purpose as well as the merit of the alum- nae - student program. Sara Frances McDonald, who sponsors freshmen Pam Gaf- ford and Mary Garlington, ex- pressed: "I am deeply impress- ed with the quality of students now at Agnes Scott. I fear I could not get in or out of the college now. The girls seem to have poise, intelligence, and charm. My relation to my two sponsorees has brought warm- th, fun and enthusiasm." Miss McDonald is the immediate past president of the Alumnae Association. Elizabeth Davis Johnston, wife of Smith Johnston who adds to his business duties that of bank president, insurance ex- ecutive, chicken farmer, mem- ber of the Board of Trustees at Emory, and past mayor of Woodstock, Georgia, sponsors Lennard Smith and Melinda Johnson. Because this is her first year to participate in the program she commented: "I am interested in participating in this program to strengthen my ties with the college community by getting to know the fresh- men. I hope, also, that the pro- gram will interest my high school daughter, who I hope will attend Agnes Scott." Married to former Georgia Tech football captain, John Hun- singer, Jo Ann Hall Hunsinger presented the assets of the pro- gram as she stated: "This program is an excellent means of keeping in contact with the college. When one leaves, the atmosphere and certainly the times change. This student- alumnae relationship gives graduates insight into current feelings and opinions on cam- pus. As I get to know the stu- dents I can compare how they react as freshmen to college as to how I reacted." 80 yd. Medley Relay: 1 Fresh- men, J. Autrey, C. Phillips, L. Frank , M. L.

MOVIE REVIEW "MOCKINGS" FROM RAMON A Dear Mom, Please forgive me for not writing last week, but I didn't have a minute. I wanted to write this letter, even though I'm coming home today, because there are a few things I want you to know before you see me. Yes, I've put on a little weight. Don't worry about my clothes not fitting. I've bought a com- plete new wardrobe... size 14. I'm sure we can find a nice home for all my old size 8's. Let me explain. The desserts have been so good and so vari- ed, I've just had to eat two or three a meal. Also campus chefs had a terrific birthday party last week for people whose birthdays are in November. I felt a little guilty about hav- ing four pieces of the delicious cake, since my birthday is in May, but it was my half -birth- day, after all. We also had a scrumptious spagetti dinner, with candles and all. And after I located my spagetti, it was great. I don't know what's the matter with these people. Everyone else was full after one helping: I went back twice. Of course it can't compare with your cooking, Mom, but after Campus Chefs, I don't believe I'll be known as a 98 pound weakling any more. One other quick item. I've had my ears pierced. That is, I had one ear pierced. I never could get the earring through the other ear. I wore one for a while, hoping to set a new trend, but everyone just call called me Mr. Clean, so I've given it up. There is still a slight hole in my left ear, but that's nothing to be alarmed about. I'm afraid athletics just isn't my forte (that's a new word I learned in English). Although I made a big splash at the swim- ming meet I was fully cloth- ed at the time I didn't get to participate as I'd planned. I know I would have broken the record for underwater hula- hooping, but we couldn't find any competition^ The one good thing which came out of the venture was my meeting Anne (Fumpsey) Glendinning, who reached fame through her underwater perfor- mance last year. We've really gotten to be good friends. Act- ually Fumpsey asked me to spend Thanksgiving with her, and I really wanted to. However, when I found out she was just going to Main, I decided to come home. I really ought to stay here and study for exams. When I got my schedule and saw I had two scheduled for the same time, I frantically worried whether they would have to run back and forth between Butterick and Campbell, but then I got a note from the D.O. Everything is straightened out now. I have two Friday, two Saturday, and Then English Thursday morn- ing. I've had a little trouble work- ing out my transportation for this weekend, and I do hope to make it for dinner Thursday. I'm taking the train to Mem- phis, where I'll have a three- hour wait. Then I'm going with a friend who's flying her pri- vate plane to Bowling Green, and from there I have a ride to Bug Hill. Just seven of us in a Volkswagon. I can't wait to see you all, especially Butch. Must dash. Love, Ramona Marshall Movie Inspires Similar Scottie Success by Virginia Russell Agnes Scott played a pro- minent role in Peter Marshall's life, whether he realized it or not. Those who watched "A Man Called Peter" on Monday Night at the Movies" November 15 were cheered to see the in- fluence of Scott on him. Throughout the movie were incidents which made Scotties proud of another of our alum- nae.. If his Scottie had not been a true one, Peter's life story might have been different. Catherine Wood Marshall is a Scott success story, and helps prove the theory "he (or she) who stands in wait, etc. (?)" For two years she went to the same church-Peter Marshall's in hopes of getting his atten- tion. Finally, when she was a sen- ior, and a little desperate, no doubt, she got a chance to meet him. Surmounting formidable odds, she made a roaring suc- cess of her very first public speech and won his admiration. Perserverance pays off. But there are others: On her honeymoon, when Catherine got seasick, she didn't interfere with her hus- band's fun. While he was out fishing, she sat on the beach- and read. Who but a Scotty? When the Marshalls moved to Washington, where he was to preach at the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church, Peter once misinformed Catherine a- bout the dress for a dinner party. Did being grossly un- derdressed bother her? Nobody ever knew-she's a Scottie. Quite symbolically, or at least miraculously, as the movie ended, Catherine was in a boat and was no longer sea- sick. Scenes filmed on the Scott campus quickened all hearts especially those scenes in the formal gardens, and plush In- man bedrooms. The audience even got to see a quick mo- ment of a hockey game, and a tennis class in action. PAGE 6 NOVEMBER 24, 1965 THE PROFILE "Masks" Tops "Perplimplin" Blackfriars Celebrate With Magnificent Performances "The red light is comingl" Agnes Scott students and facul- ty had seen signs bearing this warning for two weeks, and on Friday and Saturday nights, by Susan Aikman of the old man married to a young and faithless girl whose soul is awakened by his sacri- fice and death." This is the way that Lore a i k v THIS IS A SCENE from "Masks of Angels", a one-act play pre- sented Friday and Saturday nights by Blackfriars. Malie Bruton and Stuart Culpepper played the lead roles. those who attended the Black- friars fall productions found out just what the red light was. The red light was an inte- gral part of "Masks of An- gels" one of the two one-act plays presented by Blackfriars commemorating their 50th birthday and the opening of the new theater in the Dana Fine Arts Building. The first play to be present- ed was Federico Garcia Lorca's "The Love of Don Perlimplin and Belisa in the Garden," The scenery in this play was well made and appropriate, the cos- tumes grand, and the acting for the most part superb. The play was billed in the program as "concentrated, intense, it illu- strates Lorca's gift for weav- ing fantasy and reality, comedy and tragedy, with brevity and swiftness as he tells the story COME TO THE wrote the play. But in the Agnes Scott production, it seemed that it was the story of the girl. The acting that was turned in by Ayse Ilgaz as Belisa oversha- dowed that of the other prin- cipal members of the cast. An- gela Saad was also good in her role of the mother anxious for her daughter to wed. Other members of the cast were Her- man Humer as Don Perlimplin and Dianne Gray as his maid who was reallymore in love with him than Belisa could ever be. The change of scenes was highlighted by the performance of the two sprites Frances Foreman and Grace Winn. Their actions and facial expressions were as good as or better than their lines (which inciden- tally were the funniest of the comedy). They served to quick- en the action which bv that time was definitely dragging. The second play presented was Notis Peryalis' "Masks of Angels," a fast moving story of two people's trying to accept "themselves their unhappy past, and each other," With this play came the revelation of the red light. If "Don Perlimplin" was billed as "intense", then there is no adequate way to describe "Masks of Angels." Malie Bruton and Stuart Cul- pepper, as Margo and Petro, were magnificent. The roles which they played were diffi- cult because they called for sucn differing moods and high points of emotion, but they were play- ed to perfection. These were offset by the roles of their past loves Dimitris (Hermann Flaschka) and Maria (Margaret Peyton). The perfor- mance of Dimitris was excel- lent in every way and especi- ally in the last dramatic scene. Margaret Peyton gave a good performance but was over- shadowed by the superb acting and the emotion-packed roles of Culpepper, Bruton, and Flasch- ka. The lighting in this play con- tributes very much to the total effect and it was handled ex- tremely well. The famous red light showed up the anger, pas- sion, and ugliness in the world while the blue light allowed the calm, quiet, and beauty of the world to penetrate. Just as the sprites relieved the situation in "Don Perlimp- lin" so Blair Louise Major and Steve Harding as the young girl and boy helped to inject a sense of frivolity into an emotion packed play. This made a grand contrast and added much to the effect of the play. "Masks of Angels" cannot be discussed without a final word of praise for Stuart Cul- pepper. Not only is his acting ability excellent, but he did a terrific job of playing a most difficult role with one leg tied behind him. All in all, Blackfriars turned in performances well up to their standards. Miss Winter, has proved once again to be an ex- cellent director and Miss Rentz in her year at Scott provided wonderful sets. It was a fine and fitting celebration for the 50th birthday and a fine inauguration of a beautiful new theater.

Mollie Burton Bu- ford, Jenny Dillion Moore, and Judy Orthwein (transfer from Sarah Lawrence) had some in- teresting and enlightening things to say about marriage in general. In considering some of those "little things" that are sour- ces of irritation in this dif- ferent world of the Agnes Scott married student Mollie prompt- ly said that she and her husband could never agree on which way to turn the blinds I (Maybe that doesn't seem like a big prob- lem now - but it just might be under different circumstances.) Jenny added that it was not pleasant to have to pick up her husband's dirty clothes which seem to be everywhere but where they should be - "he's used to having his mother pick up after him." Jenny didn't con- sider this too big a problem, however, in light of all the good things. Some of the bigger problems, they all agreed, was the prob- lem of budgeting. Both Judy and Mollie are on a "strict allowance." Judy is given money by her husband to buy groceries, gas for the car, books and she pays all utility bills. If she wants something new she has to do a little shuffling with the allowance; it was mucl easier to finagle father out of the money. Jokingly she said: "My husband just can't under- stand why I can't buy every- thing with the money he gives me." Jenny seems to be just a little luckier. She says when she Visit or Phone WATSON PHARMACY FOR Prompt Delivery DR 3-1665 Your Nearest Drug Store needs something, she just asks Larry for it; she's not on any set allowance. "Both Larry and I are really very thrifty," she explained. What about those days when everything comes at once, such as two tests and a paper all due on the same day I Will your husbands take on "wifely chor- es" to help you out? Mollie says that her husband will usually stop by the Braz- ier on the way home to bring home the supper when she is really pressed for time. She then added, with a mixture of obvious surprise but sincere gratification "He will even dry the dishes sometimes.'* Judy's husband, however, will never come near the kitchen except maybe "to lick the cake pan." She divulged that he never did any household chor- es but is "really rather au- thoritarian." They all agreed that when you are a married student, you are first a wife, then a student. Judy said that, of course, she takes her classes seriously, but "Agnes Scott is on the periphery of my life." All seem to be doing as well in school now as before, however. Jenny suggested when you are married you can see extra time for work that just didn't seem to exist before. She makes better use of her time now. One very interesting point Judy brought out, which was seconded by Jenny and Mollie, was how much she learned and was still learning about her husband that she never sus- pected before. (Judy quickly added that she didn't mean "suspect" in a bad sense.) They all agreed that you do dis- cover different aspects of your husband's character, but did not seem the least disappointed with this process of enlightment for all ended by recommending marriage highly. WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W. College Ave. Phone 373-9267 Complete Car Service Just Across The Street THE PROFILE| NOVEMBER 24, 1965 \ PAGE 7 Emory Conference Altizer Sees America Best To Advance New Concepts Already the scene of much recent controversy concerning the "Death of God" theologians, last weekend, November 18-20 Emory University hosted a con- ference on "America and the Future of Theology." Its co- sponsors were Columbia Theo- logical Seminary and the Inter- denominational Theological Center, with the collaboration of The Westminster Press. Dr. William Beardslee of Emory's Department of Bible and Religion was chairman of the planning committee which worked on the speakers and other arrangements for about a year and a half. The particu- lar theme was chosen because it seemed that there are "cer- tain frontiers of a theological exploration that are particular- ly open to American work, both because of the intellectual tra- ditions which areavailableto the American scholar, and because of the particular historical con- text within which we find our- selves as Americans. The central theme of the con- ference will be a dialogue about the religious meaning of the world within the context of the dislocation and uprootedness of American life. **The discussion of the various special topics will illuminate the meaning of doing theology in the American context of life." Dr. William Mallard, also on the planning committee and a Professor of Church History in the Candler School of Theology, commented that when plans for the gathering were initiated, it wasn't imagined that a mere four weeks before the con- ference would see nation-wide attention focused on Emory's Dr. Thomas J.J. Altizer and consequently on the conference itself. According to Dr. Mallard this only enhanced the interest and the attendance for this past weekend's activities. Although the speakers includ- ed a most illustrious assort- ment of prominant philoso- phers, ministers, theologians, and sociologists, it was evident that the session at which Dr. Altizer read his paper on "The- ology and the Contemporary Se- nsibility" was the most heavily attended. Dr. Altizer drew heavily on two literary works, "Ameri- ca," a poem by William Blake and Mobv Dick, the novel by Herman Melville, From the poem he calls forth images which help to describe his own eschatalogical and apocalyptic vision for America. He said that it is"characteristic of America to have detachment from its past, which frees it to affirm the future." Dr Altizer sees true redemption as the in- version of traditional Christia- nity and the role of this coun- try to be the force impelling the forward thrust of this new understanding. Dr. Altizer views Captian Ahab in Mq hy rick as the Arch- type God-slayer. In his quest of the great white whale, Ahab symbolizes all men who would "strike through the mask of God," who would rid themselves of the tyrant-God to which they have been bound. Ahab is driven to seek out and kill his mon- strous opponent, for only then can he be free. Altizer went on to say that the Incarnation and the subse- quent death of God in Human history caused the distance be- by Penny Penland tween man and the transcend-* dent God to disappear. The early church could not accept this state of affairs and in ef- fect "ecclesiastical Christiani- ty imprisoned God in his tomb by resurrecting him to the so- vereignty of the risen Lord." He cautioned against seeking an eschatelogy that would be a "repetition of the primordial beginning. The relative move- ment of involution and return must be thrown out. We must move into the future by nega- ting the past." With these words and the theme of Blake's poem in mind, it becomes a little clearer why Altizer envisions America as the nation best e- quipped to grasp these concepts and expand and advance them.

Day Nursery Work Offers Outlet For Talent by Elizabeth Cooper The Sheltering Arms Day Nursery, both an affiliate of the Capital Homes on Memorial Drive, and a service of the federal housing projects, offers to the alert Agnes Scott stu- dent the opportunity to trans- form her talents and imagina- tion into service. Christian As- sociation, recognizing the value of the student-child relation- ship, branched its arms of ser- vice to include a project in con- junction with the day nursery. "The nursery provides a se- cond home for approximately one hundred children from ages two to twelve," commented Betty Anne Boyd, chairman of the project, as she pointed out the project's background. Eigh- ty-five percent of these child- ren have only one parent, who works from early morning un- til evening. The nursery divides the chil- dren into four age divisions, each of which is headed by one of the four staff members. "However," added Betty Anne, '*these staff members act more as disciplinarians. The Agnes Scott students, therefore, give the young boys and girls the chance to be closely associated with older people on a more says Betty Anne. The Sheltering Arms project members meet at Main on Thursday at 2:30 and return from the nursery by 4:30. "Any- one who has creative ideas for games or musical talent is in- vited to join us," remarked Betty Anne. Juniors Plan Campus Party Before Exams The junior class is giving a campus-wide party in the Hub, Wednesday night, December 8 the day before Reading Day. The party will begin at 9, and says Carole Robertson, presi- dent of the class, will end at 10 o'clock, "so the people in the library can study." This party is not to be confused with the Community Christmas Party. Dress will be casual. Hot chocolate and cookies will be served. Carole says this will be a good chance to "get away from the books for thirty min- utes or so to shout, relax, and sing." social basis. The twenty Agnes Scott par- ticipants of the Sheltering Arms project lead the children in varied social activities.

CALL 377-8133 Tumblins Discuss Sex And Morality By Justice Waldrop '1 Only rarely does a bull-ses- sion in a dorm develop into anything more. And only on rare occasions do the students involved carry their questions and opinions the one step fur- ther that can change the bull- session ideas into fruitful dis- cussion. Such was the case when students in Winship invited Dr # and Mrs. Tumblin to discuss with them "Is Sex Still an Issue in Social Morality or Is It an Individual Decision?" Touching at the heart of the matter immediately, Dr. Tumb- lin suggested two definitions of "new morality." In much of the current literature and ve- nacular, it is an "anything goes" attitude, total rela- tivism. Dr. and Mrs. Tumblin sug- gested a new orientation based on a reverence for the "Thou" in each other, for that which is holy in every human being.This Tillich calls theonomy. He cit- ed Harvey Cox's morality as depicted in Secular City which "places us in a community of ourselves, free in that we live for each other." The discussion ran the gamut from grandmother's moral code to license. Students were par- ticularly interested in the effect the modern way of life is having on morals. Said one," Con- traceptives remove the extern- al bans (on premarital sex) on the basis of fear of pregnancy. Will we find a new basis?" Grandmother was really nev- er faced with the choices, with a code of absolute rights and wrongs , Tumblin commented. Her sex code revolved around three ideas about sex: it was a duty to her husband, a fear for her daughter, and a sin outside of marriage. This Dr. Tumblin termed as heteronomous moralism rather than morality; this treats peo- ple as less than people. The , old moralism ignores the to- tality of persons and the to- tality of sex. Dr. and Mrs. Tumblin recog- nize the dangers in both ex- tremes: the person-destroy- ing restrictions and the per- son-destroying license. Winshipites perked up when Plavbov made its way into the discussion. Dr. Tumblin at- tacked 'Svhat they're preach- ing" not the pinups: it preach- es what a man should be and how he should treat a woman. This is an "exploitative, ir- reverent view," according to Dr. Tumblin. As the evening wore on, com- ments became more frank. What to do with a Hugh Heffner-in- fluenced boy, what to do "when you know he isn't looking for the Thou' in you" were: up for consideration. Dr. and Mrs. Tumblin threw back not any absolute laws, legalistic codes but some guides, stressing a reverence for the thou-ness in each mem- ber of a dating relationship, a sense of responsibility for the partner in this matter. * J ev Girl talk.

Because of limited space, only one hundred participants are allowed in one class. How- ever, if enough people above the one hundred limit show interest in the class, another can be or- ganized for spring quarter. Mr. Wagner is very enthu- siastic about his work. He teaches policemen self-defense courses and has wrestled. His assistant, a woman who works with the Welfare Department, also wrestles. Students will be taught how to use common everyday things as weapons, such as a water pis- tol with amonia in it. No ka- rate will be taught, but a small amount of judo will be. The knowledge gained by tak- ing the course will be useful if something happens when someone is waiting for a bus or a car on a streetcorner, or in any situation when someone is attacked. This course is one of A.A.'s efforts this year to give stu- dents a wide scope of things to participate in other than just ordinary sports. Harvard Senior Flips Way To Pinball Glory CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (CPS) Robert D. Willig, a Harvard senior, flipped his way into pin- ball immortality last week. With a virtuoso performance on the red bumpers and master- ful flipper control, Willig scor- ed an all-time record 2785 on the Tommy's Lunch pinball machine, obliterating the pre- vious mark of 2350. The epochal performance started innocently enough, as Willig totaled 450 after his first two balls. But the ball was sheer poetry. The sandy- haired senior lit all four bump- ers almost immediately, ca- romed the silver spheroid against the century target sev- eral times, and made brilliant saves repeatedly. When the smoke cleared, Willig had sur- passed 1900 points and every- one at Tommy's knew he might be seeing history in the making. His hands trembling, Willig lit a cigarette and paused be- fore shooting the fourth ball. He was thinking of the pool hall in Brooklyn where he had pushed his first flipper, never dreaming that some day he- would be standing on the brink of greatness. He was thinking of his mother and father, who more than anything else in the world, wanted their little boy to grow up to be a pinball champion. Playing too cautiously, Willig scored only 200 on his fourth ball. When his fifth shot fail- ed to light the all-important red bumpers, a hush fell over the crowd. But Willig began to show the stuff of which champions are made. Deftly he lit the blue bumper. Then he left the fans exophthalmic with a long flip to the hundred target. After bouncing the ball between the blue and yellow bumpers, Wil- leg was home free. It was a moment that will be remem- bered as long as The Game is played.

A long-range development program authorized by the Board of Trustees last spring calls for the building of an- other dormitory, a student cen- ter, and a physical education building by 1975. The plans also include a small chapel, a steam plant, possibly another dorm and a small of- fice - classroom building, as well as certain remodeling pro- jects, including the enlargement of Gaines.

Felicia Guest Editor Ann Roberts Associate Editor CPS PAGE 2 JANUARY 13, 1966 Honest Rethought by Betty Butler Chai rman Religious Emphasis Week The student of 1966 is an individual, questioning and re-examin- ing his concerns and committments in the social and religious worlds. He, more than likely, is actively involved in the metramor- phosis of his community; and it is in terms of this physical and intellectual action that the Religious Emphasis Week within a group of such students must be examined and evaluated. The crux of this consideration necessarily lies in the statement of what a "Religious Emphasis Week" is. It is a week in which there exists a concentrated and centrally focused theological dia- logue and religious experience designed for a community of sensi- tive human beings. There is then, the opportunity for community- wide discussion and reaction a breadth of applicability not found in any other campus situation. The presentation of the ideas which are to initiate such a drawing together and exchange is made by a man outstanding in his field. He advances his current ideas and concerns in both ethics and metaphysics for the purpose of crea- ting a basis for individual thought. The speaker, then sets himself up as a sounding board for an intellectually and religously acute community. In order for us to achieve the fullness of opportunity and bene- fit from this week, however, we must recognize the responsi- bilities congruent to it. There is, first of all, the responsibility of listening and of hearing. The subsequent responsibility lies in valid and honest response to what has been heard. This includes not only the opportunity to discuss frankly with the speaker in the evening, informal meetings, but also the opportunity to con- front, on the grounds of mutual involvement, one's fellow students. We must, however, guard against the tendency to fall into complete intellectual negativism: the validity of our discussion and investi- gation lies in the coming to a more positive acceptance of our- selves and our world. With the putting on of these responsibilities within the frame- work of our understanding i.of Religious Emphasis Week, the op- portunities for and fulfillment of honest rethought and examina- tion is achieved for each participating individual. Affirmation: Vietnam In the last fall quarter issue of the PROFILE we expressed our belief in and support of the United States position in South Viet- nam. We remain firm in that belief and are pleased to see, in "Af- firmation: Vietnam" confirmation of our suspicions that a majority of American college students stand with us. We salute the Georgia students who have conceived and organized this movement, and we urge all Agnes Scott students who support their government in this war to work with "Affirmation: Vietnam." To manifest one's convictions in action is a satisfying experience, and that action will effect a change in the world, perhaps in even more than the important area of public opinion. Our support of the project has a two-fold basis. First, as we have stated, the Southeast Asian war is both a practical and a mo- ral cause. We recognize the necessity as sometimes outweighing the horror of war. Our position agrees with that of "Affirmation: Vietnam." in backing our government on this basic question. Our second reason is a domestic one. We do not deny the right of peace movements to speak out. The privilege of dissent is one of the freedoms for which we fight in Vietnam. Too long, however, the pacifist-isolationist-draft-dodger element has falsely domina- ted the press and minds of American and world citizens. For we believe this faction to be a minor one. Believing the majority of American college students, and their elders, to be in favor of U.S. military involvement, we join with this movement whose purpose it is to present tangible proof of that majority opin- ion. Such positive action as "Aff irmation: Vietnam" should be the role of the perceptive student, especially now, when we must sup- port our nation as it battles to secure and protect the freedom of man.

I also read the Fall issue of the HARVARD ADVOCATE. Of course, it isn't fair to compare the contents of these two journals of art. The ADVOCATE contribu- tions ranged from spots by a Radcliffe sopho- more to sketches by a Russian professor at MfT to an especially prepared poem by Marianne Moore. But there are ways to compare these two magazines which throw light on the qualities of the Fall AURORA. The layouts of the two are quite similar. Both are designed with copy by one artist and art by another com- bined to form an integral page design. In both magazines, the combinations are such that the artists' works enhance each other. In this issue of AURORA, more than in any past issues I've seen, art and copy are care- fully and tastefully combined a clear vic- tory over the problems of magazine layout. The ADVOCATE used the conventional and conservative Galvin type for its copy. (How like them.) It is more readable than the stark, modern type used in the AURORA. To be stark and modern is all well and good (and arty), but the prose pages are too dense, and too pale. There are occasional lines, occasional sen- tences in the AURORA which are awkward and amateurish, but on the whole the prose and poetry are products of talented, skillful writers. Almost all of the written art grap- ples with The Big Issues, life, love, death, beauty, those illusive questions we chase through course after course, book after book. At times the questions are pierced with striking perception, notably in "The Problem of Objectivity and Subjectivity," "Christus," and "A Medicine of Cherries." It was good to meet Candace again. The editors of AURORA are shrewd people. They know whom we listen to, whom we re- spect. They know that Dr. Greene and Debbie Rosen will be read, and that each can con- tribute unique work to an arts magazine. One would suffer the loss of a vital side of life in this college community if the crea- tions of artistic fellow students were private things. We are fortunate in that AURORA gathers the best for us. We are more for- tunate that its staff handles the material in such a way that the creations retain their privateness, the sum is not diminished by bringing a creation into the light. rr SECURITY IS A CLOSED RAINCOAT Wesleyan College Town and Country Underground Concert Awaits Scott Students by Eliz In the turmoil of the everyday rush, the Agnes Scott student fails to take advantage of the most complete musical concert to be found anywhere.

Hayden offers many surprises, complimented by a sonata by Beethoven. In the dancing mood? Try listening to the daily perform- ances of a Hungarian dance by Listz or a German melody of Grieg. Even the more con- temporary tunes such as the scores from popular Broadway musicals find their way into the show. Etudes, dances, sonatas, waltzes, marches, and rhap- sodies are always found in this unique musical attraction. The performance presents itself complete not only by means of the variety of selec- tions, but also by the ones performing. Musicians come from numerous states to dem- onstrate their particular tal- ents. Nowhere in the world are so many talented and gift- ed artists gathered together in one place at one time. The opportunity, the concert, the irusicians are rare indeed. One needs only to go to the basement of Presser Hall to find such a musical treat. MOCKINGS" FROM RAMONA Did I tell you about the PRO- FILE workshop? Oh, that's right, I did call you. It was everything I had hoped for. And I didn't spill coffee on Felicia or anyone else. I did overstep. Yes, Carrington Wilson's toe. There was a great group of freshmen there. They are both capable and enthusiastic. Some are even more qualified than I am for newspaper work. Among these standouts is a former editor of a first grade literary magazine. I thought it was all very beneficial, too, especially the comic routine from Helen Mann. When I talked to you,, you seemed a bit worried about my grades. It's not all that bad, but I was called in for a short chat with Dean Kline. I am not on the ineligible list, but as he eloquently pointed out in our three hours together, I am as close as you can come. As a matter of fact, he's created a special list, just for me. I really craved talking to him; he's such a neat guy. And I am going to keep my New Year's resolution to study. Speaking of resolutions, I have broken 73 to date, but I am determined to keep that one about physical fitness. I've joi- ned, that is practiced with, the basketball team. I think we will have a winning season with these trick plays we're getting up. One involves locking me out of the gym. In the other, I climb on a fellow team members's shoulders. We're still looking for a volun- teer. I'm also attending the self- defense class. Already I'm learning judo to go with my U.N.C.L.E. gun. I was trying out a hold on Cassandra and it seemed pretty successful, un- til suddenly she flipped me out the door. Fortunately I landed on my laundry bag and was un- hurt. I think I'll pay more at- tention in next week's class. I miss you all very much. And thanks for all you did for me at Christmas. Love.

Dr. Shiver Publishes Revised German Textbook Dr. Erika Meyer Shiver, Pro- fessor and Chairman of the Ger- man Department, has published an extensive revision of her col- lege textbook for first-year German students. This revision was tested in the Agnes Scott classroom for two years, and Dr. Shiver com- ments, "I was very grateful for the comments. You can't do this sort of thing without class- room testing." The need for revision is pri- marily due to the changes in teaching methods since 1951 when the first edition was pub- lished, since "the emphasis is more and more on speaking," Dr. Shiver pointed out. To fill this need, the new edi- tion includes some 1800 pat- tern drills, for classroom or laboratory use. The book is suitable for both the traditional grammar or the modern audio- lingual approach to the study of German. The first edition, heralded by The German Quarterly as "one of the best brief gram- mars available," has been used widely in colleges throughout the nation, as well as at Agnes Scott. Dr. Shiver is also the author of a second-year grammar , In- termediate German and of six German Graded Readers , all published by Houghton Mifflin Company. The readers, which are "based on personal obser- vation and experience," have also been extensively used in classrooms and even by the U.S. Army in Germany. Two of the six have been pub- lished in England as well as in America. Dr. Shiver's "real joy" is that they have now been done in braille. .These readers were an in- novation in German texts since they offered mature subject matter written in a simple style. "So often older books are like children's books," Dr. Shiver explained. "They do not dis- tinguish between simple style and simple subject matter." Each of the readers discuss some phase of life in Germany. "It's a special kind of writing," commented Dr. Shiver. which she considered "old stand-bys," such as Farmer in the Dell, or London Bridge. "I made a discovery that simple games and songs such as Ten Little Indians are a way children can learn important things to count or to tell their left hand from their right."

The senior team played as well as they had ever played during this game. The fresh- men had only a slim chance against the teamwork of Jan Gaskell, Louise Smith, and Judy Ahrano and the aggressive de- fense of Wendy Williams, Alice Davidson, and Debbie Rosen. The remarkable freshman goalie, Windy Lundy, had a rough job defending her cage. The seniors won 4-0. The junior-sophomore game, being a decisive one, was a closely fought match. The jun- ior defense, especially Mary Helen Goodloe and Linda Coop- er, held the sophomore forward line in check during the entire game and rarely allowed the forwards to cross the 25 yard line. The juniors won 2-1. Get Dates Now For Dance Weekend January 28-29 Sponsored By A. A.

Mortar Board Slates Classes On Marriage Marriage classes for all sen- iors and engaged students will be held during January and Feb- ruary. Each class will be at 5 p.m. in 207 Campbell Hall. Diane Hendrix is the planning chairman of these classes which are sponsored by Mortar Board. The first class was held Jan- uary 12 by Dr. Irene Phrydas. Dr. Phrydas' talk was an in- troduction to the main theme of the classes, 4 'Maturity in Mar- riage." The title of her talk was "The Role of a Woman as an Individual and a Wife." January 19 Dr. Carlyle Mar- ney, the Religious Emphasis Week speaker, will discuss "In- suring the Permanence of Love and Marriage." Dr. William J. McKenzie, an Atlanta physician, will speak tc the class on January 26. His topic will be "Sexual Adjust- ment and Birth Control." February 2 Mr. and Mrs. Herbert Jenkins will speak on finances. Dr. Phrydas will return on February 9 to conclude this series of classes. She will hold an informal question and answer period with the students after a brief talk. At this final class Mortar Board will pro- vide a list of recommended readings to aid the students. Indeed the records of all four teams support this hypothesis! The seniors won the tourna- ment with a record of five wins and one loss. The juniors be- came a strong team as the sea- son progressed and were run- ners-up with a record of three wins, two losses, and one tie. The sophomores, however, showed much promise in the first two games but slowed down as the season progressed. They posted a record of three wins and three losses. The freshmen had a promis- ing team and did exceptionally well against the juniors once and the sophomores once; how- ever, they finished the season with five losses and one tie. Special recognition should be given to the players named to the Varsity and Sub-Varsity teams for 1965. They were se- lected on the basis of votes from the team members and the final decisions of the hockey managers. Varsity members are Judy Ahrano, Evelyn Angeletti, Lin- da Cooper, Alice Davidson, Jan Gaskell, Joan Kiker, Susan Lan- drum, Gail Livingston, Windy Lundy, Sally Rayburn, Lucy Rose, Debbie Rosen, Louise Smith, and Wendy Williams. Sub-Varsity members are Mary Helen Goodloe, Susan Johnson, Eleanor McCallie, Jane McCurdy, Day Morcock, Gue Pardue, Kathey Stubbs, Lynne Wilkins, Winky Wooten, and Zolly Zollicoffer. The team managers worked hard this year for a successful season. Special thanks to Gail Livingston, Wendy Williams, Lynne Wilkins, Zollie Zollicof- fer, Sally Rayburn, and to Miss Wilburn for their work this fall.

Here southern troops are holding a captured viet cong soldier. Key Role In Project Georgia Youth Council To Conduct Opinion Poll The Georgia Youth Council, a politically non-partisan or- ganization of students who have proved themselves to be lead- ers in the state, is playing a key role in the operations of "Affirmation: Vietnam." The Council is using its state- wide structure to conduct an opinion poll throughout Georgia concerning the United States government's commitment to South Vietnam. Civic clubs, schools, and oth- er similar groups have been contacted by the district chair- men of the Council regarding execution of the poll. According to Tom King, state chairman of the Council, can- vassers will attempt to reach "a representative number" of Georgians. The poll will give citizens of the state an oppor- tunity to register feelings of support or non-support for the United States' commitment to Vietnam. Members of the Youth Council are also participating in the educational program of "Affir- mation: Vietnam." Several district chairmen are serving as lecturers to civic groups concerning the historical back- grounds of the United States' position in Vietnam. The Council is also taking part in the publicizing of all as- pects of "Affirmation: Viet- nam," including the assembly in Atlanta Stadium February 12. Members of the group voted support for the movement early in December of 1965, and all officers agreed to join in the effort. Governor Carl Sanders was instrumental in the establish- ment of the Georgia Youth Coun- cil last November. The group consists of student leaders from each of the ten Congressional districts of the state; these leaders are appointed to the Council by Governor Sanders, and run the organization. According to its constitution, the purpose of the Council is "to become better citizens through understanding of the affairs of State Government; through par- ticipation at the community level to establish a better way of life for all young people; through assistance of govern- mental departments and leaders in matters concerning all youth." Officers are elected on state and district levels. 1 Students Support Vietnam Policies "YOU'RE PART OF 'Affirmation: Vietnam' simply by being com- mitted to it," Debbie Rosen explains to hall friends. Emphatic public affirmation of the United States commit- ment to South Vietnam is the goal of a three-phase state- wide student movement re- cently initiated at Emory Uni- versity in Atlanta. Named "Affirmation: Viet- nam" by its student organiz- ers, the movement will begin with a comprehensive poll of the residents of Georgia re- garding their opinions of the U.S. commitment in Vietnam and will culminate in a mas- sive assembly at Atlanta's new athletic stadium. The third point of the plan of the organization is a statewide speaker's bureau to help in- form the public on the facts of the Vietnam crisis abroad and at home. Non-Partisan A politically non-partisan ef- fort, "Affirmation: Vietnam" has already received endorse- ments and promises of support from student leaders of all the major colleges in Georgia. Included among these sup- porters are Dick Langford, president of Emory's Student Senate; George "Buddy" Dar- den, President of the University of Georgia Student Body, and Howard Tellepson, President of the Georgia Tech Student Body, all of whom are charter mem- bers of the student steering committee. One of the main purposes of the organization is to present to the public the various his- torical bases for the United States present position in the Vietnam situation. A statement prepared by the student organizers of "Affir- mation: Vietnam" explains, "In recent months world opin- ion has been focused on small segments of the United States' population who openly protest their government's involvement in Vietnam. These objectors give strong voice to their con- victions, and the nations of the world, friend and foe alike, must surely wonder at the strength of conviction of those who consider the United State's commitment an undeniable and irrevocable one. "The opinion of the majority cannot be obscured by the voice of the minority. This minority has a right to be heard and, indeed, should and must be heard. However, there rests with the majority the task of making known to the world that our nation's commitment is supported by her people and will be fulfilled. This task can no longer be ignored." Three Prongs According to its constitution, "Affirmation: Vietnam" through its three-pronged plan of attack (consisting of the edu- cational effort, the opinion poll, and the assembly) will "ana- lyze and present the factual foundations of the position and commitment of the United States in the present Vietna- mese conflict." The accomplishment of these goals will entail "the presen- tation of public discussion groups, forums, panels, lec- tures, public assemblies, or other similar programs, the publication of papers, pamph- lets, and books, and making known the results of public polls and other indicia of public opinion," the constitution states. Leaders Although the organization consists entirely of college and high school students of the state of Georgia, it has received en- dorsement and much support from outstanding national lead- ers of government, business and the press. Included among these are Georgia's Governor Carl E. Sanders and Senators Richard B. Russell and Herman Tal- madge; six Georgia congress- men: G. Elliott Hagan, Howard "Bo" Callaway, James A. Mackay, Charles D. Weltner. John James Flynt, Jr., Russell Tuten and Augusta Courier Edi- tor Roy Harris. Other student leaders who have pledged their support to the program are Marvin Moate, president of the University of Georgia Student Senate; Char- les MacDonald, president of the Georgia State student body; Jim Hambrick, president of the Georgia State night school; Frank Hughes, president of the Oglethorpe student body; Deb- bie Rosen, president of the Ag- nes Scott student body; Jane- Sampson, president of the Spel- man student body; and Tommy Tucker, president of the Emory College Council. Remar M. Sutton, Jr., a stu- dent in the Business School at Emory, is general chairman of the project.

This spontaneous movement, begun by two Emory students in De- Georgia Chief Justice Praises A:V Intention Georgia Supreme Court Chief Justice W.H. Duckworth has re- gistered his support of "Affirmation: Vietnam" in a letter to the workers in the project. The chief justice's letter reads, "I love peace. I abhor war. But our liberties can survive only so long as Americans defend it even unto death. "Having experienced the grief of leaving home and loved ones," the letter continues, "and peace and security, to join American fighting men who were dying to defend our land, I am simply unable to understand how any American can enjoy liberty and security, and at the same time, ignore the solemn duty to defend that liberty. "IT IS TOO LATE now to debate the wisdom of our government in going into South Vietnam in fulfillment of its pledged word. Many of us doubted if we should have made that decision. "But now demonstrations against what we are doing are not debating the decision to do it but are insulting our men who are dy- ing to defend our country including the demonstrators, and falsely picturing America as a divided ungrateful Nation, thus giving en- couragement to the enemy to prolong the war and kill more of our patriotic citizens who are away from home and fighting for us. "ONLY AN obstinate refusal to read and heed repeated avowals of communist leaders to conquer and bury us, and to observe the successions of their subjugations of weak nations can enable any American to agitate against our country in this sad hour of misery and death that our men are enduring. "All power to you, and you can tell the world that I am whole- heartedly with you. Good luck and God bless you." (Emory Wheel) Expert Discusses Viet War Policies (Dr. Donald Weatherby is an assistant professor of interna- tional studies at the University of South Carolina. He lived in Southeast Asia from 1957-1961 and has traveled extensively in the area. His field of speciali- zation is Southeast Asian poli- tics, and he is presently work- ing on a book to be published next June on proto-insurgency in Thailand.) Q. Do you hold to the "domino theory?" A: I do not hold to the "domi- no theory". . .1 do hold to the idea that any demonstration of American weakness in Viet Nam after the terrible performance that we put on in Laos 1960- 61 would seriously jeopardise our security system, and would throw a great deal of doubt on the worth of the American al- liance to our friends in Asia. I would not argue that if Viet Nam falls then automatically Cambodia will fall, then Thai- land will fall, then Malaysia will fall. I will say that in the Vietnamese case a failure of the United States would have serious repercussions that would probably leave our own position in Asia very weak. Q: Do you put any faith in the theory that the United States has a role as a "world policeman"? A: No, I do not, I won't buy that,. . .but I do think that . . .our interests in non-com- munist Southeast Asia are as legitimate or even more legiti- mate than the interests of the communist states of Asia in de- stroying the non-communist re- gime. Q: What is the extent of the danger of massive Chinese in- tervention? A: I think very remote, for a number of reasons. In the first place, the immense logistical problem the Chinese would have to face. For the Chinese to intervene in South Viet Nam they'd have to move 700 miles. Now, the Chinese soldier, even at a forced pace, can only travel 12 miles a day. He- has to be fed, he has to be sup- plied with ammunition and so forth, and our air superiority, I think, would mean that Chi- nese intervention in South Viet Nam is nonsensical. . . (From Emory Wheel) cember, is primarily concern- ed with affirmation of the United States' committment in Viet Nam. "It is a mainstream type of movement," said Debbie Rosen, a member of the board of direc- tors. She stresses that "it is not a protest," but an affirma- tion that "we're there now and do have a committment to the South Vietnamsse." The program is three-fold. The Georgia Youth Council is in charge of a public opinion poll, taken all over Georgia, in communities and colleges. Freshman Nancy Still is active in this area of the organiza- tion. A second aspect is educa- tional. Knowledgeable and trained Georgia college stu- dents are speaking to business and civic groups, and to other campuses outside of Georgia. They present a history of the United States' place in Viet Nam and explain the purpose of "Affirmation: Viet Nam." The third major job of the or- ganization is termed by Debbie Rosen as "very exciting." On Feb. 12 at 2 p.m. there is to be a massive assembly in the At- lanta Stadium as a part of the affirmation. Governor San- ders, several Georgia congres- men and senators are sched- uled to speak, and possibly a representative from Viet Nam. The endorsement of the or- ganization has been widespread. "We have had no refusal of sponsorship yet," Debbie pointed out. Sarah Uzzell, on the board of directors of "Affirmation: Viet Nam" explained, "we are not seeking to affect any legislation, or to endorse any political par- ty. People of both parties arc participating." Sarah lists three purposes of the organization. Primary is the affirmation of the United States' committment in Viet Nam "as stated by three pres- idents." It is hoped that the news of such a movement will bolster the morale of the men fighting there. It further seeks to combat some of the publicity given "peace" demonstrators and draft-card burners, "which we feel," commented Sarah Uz- zell, "are plainly known to be from only a minority of stu- dents." National and international publicity is important, accord- ing to Debbie Rosen. "That the Vietnamese people hear what we have to say is a large part of it," she commented. She believes that the affirmation is more indicative of American thought than that of widely- publicized "peace" marchers. The leaders of "Affirmation: Viet Nam" stress the fact that it is a non-partisan organiza- tion, supporting only the United States' committment, not the specific policies in the war. "How it is done is not a part of our program," stated Debbie. Members of both political parties have agreed to speak at the assembly on Feb. 12, and students from both parties arc working together. "Even in this wide spectrum of opinion there is still a great majority of people who find they can agree on this affirmation," said Deb- bie. Mary Brown, also active in helping, sees two possible dan- gers. "It is important not to over-simplify the issues invol- ved," she warns. "It is im- portant to recognize the com- plexity of our involvement. Sec- ondly, we should try to keep it as much as possible in the hands of students. There is a danger of its becoming a polit- ical movement, and it is not that at all." Remar M. Sutton, Jr. A:V Director Feels That Majority Must Speak Out "Affirmation: Vietnam" is being organized because of a fact of human nature. This fact is that persons who hold a minority opinion regard- ing a certain political situation or moral question are always the first to demonstrate in the streets to show their position. They do this simply because they are in the minority, and demonstration is the most ef- fective way of making their feelings known. Persons who hold to the opinion of the majority, on the other hand, seldom demon- strate, because they feel secure in their position. THEREFORE, it is mem- bers of the extreme right and left groups who have thus far done the only salient demon- strating regarding the United States government's commit- ment to Vietnam. They have registered the opinion , via the press and other international news media, that the United States should withdraw from Vietnam whether for moral or political reasons. SINCE THIS is so, Ameri- can citizens who are members of the majority i.e., those who support our government's com- mitment to Vietnam have the responsibility of showing their position, in order to coun- teract the false impression given to foreign countries that general opinion within the United States is radically di- verse. "AFFIRMATION: Vietnam" proposes to show as many people as possible that in at least one state the mass ma- jority of the citizens support their government and its com- mitment even if they happen to be opposed to war, or if they disagree with elements of the government's policy. The movement will accom- plish this purpose by three methods: a statewide opinion poll, a speakers bureau and an assembly at Atlanta Stadium. The poll will reach as many people in Georgia as possible, to quantify its citizens' opin- ions concerning Vietnam. The speakers bureau will send stu- dents from twentv-five diffe- rent colleges to speak to clubs and other organizations on the historical position of the Uni- ted 4 States in Vietnam. The assembly will be the focal point of the movement. There, the results of the poll will be presented to a govern- ment representative, and the affirmation of Georgia's sup- port of our country's commit- ment will be symbolically com- pleted.

Brunson said, "I think you've got something there," and both students drove to the Emory University campus and held conferences with President Sanford S. Atwood and a num- ber of student leaders. All were enthused by the idea. Immediately the organizers made move to obtain support from leaders in the fields of student government, business, polities and press, and AFFIR- MATION;. VIETNAM had be- gun to move toward realization. General Chairman Sutton, commenting on the philosophy behind the project, said, "Any- one who has ever travelled overseas realizes that many events of no significance what- soever in the United States take on great proportions abroad. "Because foreigners exag- gerate the importance of these demonstrations, it is our re- sponsibility to show them what the true story is. In addition, we are trying educationally to help the people understand why we are in Vietnam." (Oglethorpe Stormy Petrel) PICTURED HERE WITH GEORGIA Senator Richard B.

Political Leaders Back Affirmation: Vietnam 44 95 Affirmation: Vietnam has received votes of confidence from a large number of well- known Georgia political figures. In addition to Governor Carl E. Sanders, Senator Richard B. Russell and Senator Herman Talmadge, leaders in state and municipal government have voiced their approval: Con- gressman James A. Mackay, Howard "Bo" Callaway and Charles L. Weltner; Atlanta Mayor Ivan Allen, Jr.; Lt. Governor Peter Zack Geer; State Senator Leroy Johnson, and retired U.S. Army General Lucius D. Clay. Protestors Contribute "Personal Involvement" (AC) Sure, we appreciate the anti-war protestors. But why? Not because they have "made Americans aware of how important morale is overseas and caused united supporters of our boys over there." And we don't appreciate the anti-war protestors because their efforts have "backfired." That's ridiculous. The reasons we appreciate some of these protestors is that they represent some very encouraging signs. FIRST, THESE people are aware of and concerned with national policy. Unfortunately, American people are traditionally pre- occupied with themselves and are willing to let the rest of the world go to hell. And, in many cases, our foreign policy reflects this attitude. SECOND, THE protestors are utilizing their awareness and con cern by voicing, strongly and pointedly, their feelings. By this action, they are "watchdogging" our government and the poli- cies it makes. THIRD, AND perhaps most important they represent a trend in America toward personal involvement of citizens in what the country is doing. Perhaps the protestors are accepting their share of the responsibility everyone must bear for the actions of his own community toward other communities. If we appreciate what the protestors are doing, even if we don't agree with their stands, we can stop calling them names and give them credit for doing a job that our schools, newspapers, political leaders, and churches have failed to do. In a letter to General Chair- man Remar M. Sutton, J r com- mending the project, Governor Sanders wrote, "The great and good benefit of Affirmation: Viet nam is that it brings into clear focus the need that we have for voicing to the many thousands of American boys on the battle front our support, our good wishes, and our prayers. "I wish you well in the task you have undertaken" continues Sanders' letter, "and I com- mend you and your associates for what you are doing and what you seek to accomplish. "Both as Governor and as a citizen, I urge all Georgians and all Americans to likewise pledge their support and com- fort to this movement, to our troops in South Vietnam, and to the cause of liberty and free- dom and the protection of the American way of life." Georgia Senator B. Russell, also writing to Chairman Sut ton, stated, "...I am sure that the movement will spread throughout the state, will be embraced by student bodies of all. of our educational institu- tions and will be applauded and supported by our people gen- erally. "As chairman of the Senate Committee on Armed Services, I am of course familiar with the day to day conduct of this dir- ty, nasty war for the libera- tion of South Vietnam," the senator's letter continues. "One of the greatest ob- stacles to success has been the impression created by a handful of misguided off-beats that there is a considerable school of thought in our country who are opposed to the war and are hoping for the defeat of our country. "When the spark that you have alighted spreads throughout the state, it will indicate beyond per-adventure the insignificant minority that are opposed to the discharge of our commitment in Vietnam. Carl Vinson, former United States congressman who served as chairman of the House Com- mittee on Armed Services, has endorsed the project. Retired General Lucius D u Clay has also expressed his pleasure with the movement. In a letter to Sutton, Clay stated, "lt has been very worthwhile to "...the greatest danger of all would be to do noth ing. The cost of freedom is always high, but Americans have always paid it.

The board recently proposed that the entire faculty devote time and effort to the task of improving teaching on campus. In a report to the board, Dr. Walter Douglas Smith, dean of the college, said that the "Ma- jor responsibility of the Win- throp professor is teaching, and that its improvement might come about if the faculty should carry out a self study. This study," he added, "is not too N.C. Eases Tough Ban On Speakers North Carolina's General As- sembly has amended its contro- versial speaker ban law into impotence . Formerly the toughest of such laws in the country, it is now only a hollow shell on the books to appease a certain element in the state, says The National Ob- server. The ban, passed hurriedly at the end of the 1963 session, pro- hibited Communists and Fifth Amendment pleaders from speaking on any of 11 state- supported colleges, although it was directed at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. This original law aroused much protest among students and other citizens, as well as a threat of loss of accredita- tion of the schools. As amended recently, it re- turns control over speakers to the various boards of trustees of the schools who are asked to adopt statement opposing communism and provide that appearances by such speakers be "infrequent." Visit or Phone WATSON PHARMACY FOR Prompt Delivery DR 3-1665 Your Nearest Drug Store unlike a self study carried out in 1960, however, the present study will be limited to the teaching process." Dean Smith further reported, "In all the proceedings of the college, teaching receives sur- prisingly little attention. Most of us tend to focus attention on such matters as grades, class- room and laboratory space and equipment, course titles and numbers, social activities, and the like. What the professor does in the classroom is rare- ly the subject of debate or dis- cussion. "Winthrop students have from time to time voiced questions about our teaching. They, above all people, know what we are doing in the classroom and their performance is evidence of our success. Students will be in- volved in the self study after a faculty steering committee is formed. A request for student involvement will probably be one of their first actions." Students For Extending Viet War Into North A majority of the country's college students believe that if there is no negotiated settle- ment in Viet Nam before the end of this year, the U.S. should push the war into North Viet Nam, according to a survey taken by Playboy magazine. An even larger percentage of students believe we should extend bombing raids to vital installations in Hanoi and other North Viet Namese cities. The survey finds that the majority of faculty members polled do not take this 'ag- gressive" attitude and believe that military actions should be confined to South Viet Nam only. The Playboy College Opinion Survey is based on responses from a representative sample of approximately 1,000 students from all classes, ages and back- grounds, who serve as a perma- nent "sounding board" on questions of current interests.

CALL 377-8133 "Last year the Southern Re- gional Education Board carried on a study of undergraduate teaching," Dean Smith stated. However, "some of us felt that this study did not come to grips with the real issues involved or have a strong enough design. We believe that the self study procedure which has evolved over the last decade in the Southern Association of Col- leges and Schools is a most promising procedure because it involves the essential people: faculty and students." EXPOSE: BLIND DATES I don't know how this happens, but every year a new crop of people gets sucked into blind dates. For some reason the kind upper- classmen, who tell the freshmen not to buy the elevator passes and not to cut Prof. Smith's course and #here to drink and what kind of clothes to wear, never warn their friends off the blind date. A careful survey of my roommates proves that only 0.15 per cent of blind dates are MSEs (Minimal Survival Events). This means you (a) did not throw up on sight, (b) did not throw up when she opened her mouth, and (c) made it home without pledging perma- nent celibacy. Yet the same event repeats itself with the grim inevitability of winter solstice (neat literary allusion). So here's an easy guide for young men on what to avoid, with a short suggestion for counter- plays to the dormitory den mothers who will not rest happy until every resident who can walk, breathe, and simper spends Saturday night in the company of some hapless male who didn't get out of the way in time. You know your "buddy?" the nice girl who is on 13 committees and is your real friend and who laughs at your jokes and who wears cardigan sweaters and is always ready to solve your problems? Immediately act as though she is a carrier of the four worst communicable diseases you can think of. Otherwise she will Fix You Up. But Good. She will get you a Date for the weekend. When she calls you, hang up. If you do not hang up fast enough, and she tells you that Esther or Sandra or Maureen would love to go out with you next weekend, ask her if Ester or Maureen or Sandra is attractive. Any one of the following answers and you Win. That is, you Lose. Big: "Oh she's a doll." "All the girls in the dorm love her." "She's a marvelous cook." "Do you like good bassoonmusic?" "She has a warm personality." "She's a fun person." (this is It, boy. She has seven teeth in her head and looks like an unsuccessful Metrecal experiment.) She's a doll." If you get roped into this thing, make sure you're on a double date with a friend you can trust. To be alone witu a blind date has now superseded, or supplemented, M. Sartre's definition of Hell: it is not just other people it is when you and your b.d. are the only people. A friend can be talk- ed to, (b) invent an excuse for an early evening ("Gee, Esther, Sandra, Mureen, it's too bad George and I have to observe that eclipse tomorrow morning") and (c) in an emergency do you a favor like stab you in the neck with a fork to blow the whistle on the whole thing. R>r the dormitory den mothers: it is clear that sooner or later the guys are going to figure out this racket. Next time try these telephone responses to crucial question: is she attractive: "Well, if you like the Playmate type she's okay, but I personally..." "That's what I don't understand. She's really not, but the way these guys follow her around..." "I don't know her well. She's sort of ...quiet. A little like Julie London." "Well, she has this psychological problem. All she has to do is look at a guy, and..." "No, she isn't. She's rather homely. But if she doesn't get a date this weekend, she will kill herself (the appeal to guilt has not failed in recorded history)." The ultimate solution for this terror may be the computerized date, or it may be that when people come to college they will be old enough and adult enough to plan their own social lives. But I somehow suspect that in 50 years I will stagger back to my Alma Mater to hear some kindly, friendly girl telling her nervous male buddy that "Sandra is a doll, and all the girls in the dorm love her, and she makes all her own cookies, and. .

Advertising Mecca ForGrads For the competent, comely and career-minded, the vast field of advertising opens its greedy doors. It is hungry for talent, creativity, energy and for young people. College graduates, in par- ticular, seem to gravitate to- ward the raecca of advertising, and from all reports their ta- lent is keeping Madison Avenue alive. Interestingly enough, with the high degree of success possible for college grads, the amount Bailey's Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Pnone DR-3-0172 of training is minimal indeed. The use of media ranges from a two-line advertisement in a newspaper to a spectacular million dollar TV show. And from all appearances, the collective emphasis seems to be youth. Executives in powerful positions are often under, or in, their early thirties. Before you commit yourself to an advertising career, how- ever, it is important to study its structure and see if there are areas of advertising that will be suitable to your per- sonality and talents. Examine the functions of the different departments. Be your own researcher and read about advertising agencies. You may find that you do not want to write copy but prefer to train for a job as account executive. Or you may gravitate toward the art and production departments. If you enjoy figures, market research or media may offer more potential. If you like ad- ministrating, perhaps traffic is the answer. And if you're lucky, you may hit radio and TV. Most advertising jobs are with advertising agencies. How- ever, some of the large business organizations have their own advertising departments, as do book, magazine and newspaper publishers. These departments are sometimes self-contained with their own copy-writing, media, research and production staffs. PAGE 8 JANUARY 13, 1966 THE PROFILE WINTER QUARTER'S SELF-DEFENSE classes are now in full swing; Detective Wagner instructs Lucy Rose in the art of fighting off an attacker. Athletic Association sponsors the classes. Womanly Art Of Self-Defense Over 80 Students In AA-Sponsored Course Thursday night, January 6, A A introduced a self-defense course to the Agnes Scott cam- pus as part of the board's ef- fort to educate the college com- munity in fields outside of the sports offered at Scott. This program is the first of many that A A will sponsor during the year, says course coordinator Mary Barnett. Detective Henry Wagner of the DeKalb County Police Di- vision and assistant Judy Smith of the Atlanta Welfare Depart- ment delivered a lecture on self-protection as well as a demonstration to the 85 parti- cipants. Detective Wagner found him- self in awkward positions on the gym floor several times as Judy and various brave volun- teers managed to execute some of the many throws that were presented. Those who attended the hour session were instructed in how to handle an attacker with a knife-, a throat choker, and a bear-hug executioner as well as how to "release many un- usually strong holds which the unexpecting Scott ie might be subjected to some day," Mary says. Although only two-thirds of the expected 125 students show- ed up on Thursday evening, Mary predicts from the enthu- siasm produced by the first meeting that all will attend next Tuesday. To avoid any chaos that may develop from too large a num- ber of interested persons, De- tective Wagner has requested that the girls be broken up into four groups of 25 with each se- parate group meeting on one of the four remaining nights sche- duled for the course. The lists of the individual groups will be posted with the night they are expected to meet in the mail room on the A A bul- letin board. If the Winter Quarter pro- gram goes as well as planned and there are students or fa- culty members who did not get to sign up and are still interes- ted, the entire program may be presented again in the Spring Quarter. The other classes will be held on January 11, 12, 25, and 27. All of the classes will begin at 7 p.m. and are for one hour. Counibus Provides For An Inter-Campus Rapport Bring Shoe Trebles To Cloirmont Shoe Repair, Inc. DR. 3-3676 141 Cloirmont Ave. Counibus is an organization which deals with actvities for the Campus Crusade for Christ International. It is an interde- nominational group which is trying to acquaint people with the basic principles of Chris- tianity. "The Campus Crusade for Christ places a strong, wholesome emphasis upon the living Christ." The organization began on the UCLA campus in 1951. There are 400 trained staff members at the present-some attended seminaries-and they hope to in- crease to 1000 by 1967. They are now in 12 countries, and hope to reach the whole world. Counibus is interested in reaching the people on college and university campuses, and those in the business world be- tween the ages of 18 and 28. The staff in the Atlanta Area consists of seven members who are on campus every Tuesday at 12:30 for lunch to meet stu- dents who are interested. On Thursday nights at 7:30, there are study groups which meet at Tech. The topic of these study groups is "College Life." Their purpose is to in- crease interest in and know- ledge of the Bible and Chris- tian teachings, and to bring people to greater Christian ma- turity. The study groups ane U. Of California Erases Female Male Distinctions (ACP) After years of putting students through the machine, the University of California committed the final ignominy the distinctions between the male and female students have finally been erased, says the Daily Califomian T At least that seems to be the case since the University began putting draft deferment forms, bureaucratically known as "SSS Form 109 for undergraduates" in registration packets sent to women students. Happily, most of the women students weren't too distressed by the complete disregard of their sex. One smiling frosh coed said, "I thought it was a sign of their non-discrimina- tion." A spokesman in the regis- trar's office explained that the cards were automatically put into all of the registration pac- kets sent out.

Each Sunday night at 9:00 there is a meeting of Couni- bus at the home of Jon Braun, to provide fellowship with other Christians. The Ten Basic Steps to Chris- tian Maturity, is a series of books put out by the organi- zation. Each deals with a dif- ferent topic. The monthly ma- gazine is entitled, "Challenge". It features different articles by student and business leaders who have accepted Christ through the C.C.C. One article, for instance, was written by the President of the Student Body at Berkeley, who became a Christian during the riots. If anyone is interested in reading these books and magazines, or getting more information, con- tact either Sarah Uzzell or Anne Overstreet.

After a trip to the Holy Land, Mr. Slotkin felt that stones from no more than 20 feet where Jesus lay in the maager would have great meaning for many Christians. Consequently, he arranged to bring 2 1/2 tons of the rock to the United States and had the rock broken up in- to pieces weighing about four ounces each. These were mounted on cardboard to be given away. Another of his adventures consisted of the search for the tomb of St. Joseph, husband of Mary, mother of Jesus. One of his philanthropic en- deavours is a clinic conducted by Slotkin for underprivileged, disfigured persons who want plastic surgery. Slotkin foots all or part of the bill, depending upon what he learns from the charity applicant s in a quick but penetrating interview. Mr. Slotkin will be in At- lanta for approximately 10 days and will be speaking to several different organizations in this area.

A professor at Oglethorpe University, Van Brock, will lead the final workshop on January 31. He has recently had a poem published in 'The New Yorker" as well as in other literary ma- gazines. At the workshop he will give critical readings of student poetry that was written or revised during the previous workshops. Students interested in having their poetry read by Mr. Brock should submit their work to the AURORA box in the mail room by noon January 26. These poetry workshops mark the first time emphasis has been placed specifically on the writing of poetry at Agnes Scott.

Faustus" in his Marionette Theatre on the Dana stage, January 26, at 8:15 p.m. The performance is open to the public, but children un- der 12 will not be admitted as it is "serious dramatic en- tertainment" according to Dr. Arnott. This is a one-man perfor- mance. Dr. Arnott created the puppets and their costumes and built the state. He manipulates the strings and recites every line during a performance Born and educated in Great Britian, Dr. Arnott came to the United States in 1958. He is currently Assistant professor of Classics and Speech and Drama at Indiana University. The Marionette Theatre of Peter Arnott originated in 1949 as an exploration of the po- tentialities of puppetry in the field of serious drama and par- ticularly Greek plays. The theatre can (1) present formal drama without the na- turalistic influence of actors and directors, (2) present plays usually read, not performed, and (3) take drama to areas where theatre is not seen at all due to the cost of import- ing a live company. Dr. Arnott has given per- formances in cities and univer- sities all over Europe and the United States. His repetoire includes "Oedipus the King" (which he will give at Georgia Tech January 28) "Medea," "Volpone", and "Les Four- beries de Scapin." He also plays a regular summer ses- sion at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival. Miss Elvena Green, who has seen a performance of the Ma- rionette Theatre, commented that not only were the puppets fascinating but "the lines are beautifully, vividly given."

PAGE 2 JANUARY 20, 1966 Bond Case Appalling The action of the Georgia General Assembly in refusing his rightful place to representative-elect Julian Bond is appalling. We are not here changing our position on the war in Vietnam. On the contrary, we do not agree with the statements of either the Student Nonviolent Co-ordinating Committee or Mr. Bond; we do not side with peace movements or draft-card burners. However, they have their right to speak. It seems that these card-burners are allowed more rights than Bond, He is a properly elected representative, chosen by his own people who were aware of his liberal stands. If he is disqualified because of his position with SNCC, that question should have been decided last spring before the election. His statement this month did not include plans to burn his own draft card. He praised those who so defend their convictions and, as a conscientious objector to war, proposed additional areas to the present three where conscientious objectors may fulfill their service obligations. Such positive, constructive action hardly qua- lifies as treason. Perhaps our quarrel is with a state constitution that allows removal of an elected reDresentative of that state's people on no more definite grounds than used* Something is wrong. Such a provision opens the way to thoughtless abuse, and we believe 6uch abuse is evident here. The worst development of the situation is that the issue has been falsely made a racial one. The Committee, which has been responsible for some rather effective work in the civil rights struggle, probably went too far by officially involving itself in foreign relations. But blame lies equally on the other side, where too many people have taken the opportunity to attack Bond on racial grounds and to condemn SNCC and all it stands for. This action of the General Assembly has destroyed something in Atlanta's reasonably good race relations and in the legal rights of Julian Bond. Tuition Tax Credits Important To Schools Tuition tax credit is the most important idea to have evolved during the post World War Ilyears. This was the opinion of Oliver C. Carmichael Jr., chairman of the board of the Associates Investment Company in South Bend, Indiana, when he addressed the Educational Writers Association at its 1965 annual meeting. His report is summarized below. Education directly effects our national growth. In the United States we are presently educating a higher percentage of our people than any nation in history. The unique factor which en- ables us to do this is the diversity of our system of higher ed- ucation the publically supported institution vs. the private in- stitution which may or may not be denominational. However, recently this mainspring of our educational system has been threatened by rising costs which have been, for the most part, met by an increase in tuitions. These increases have not been based on what the population can bear, but instead on the increasing expense of providing education to more students with no sacrifice in quality. And there is no evidence which contra- dicts the theory that tuitions and fees will continue to rise. As this happens, it becomes increasingly difficult for more and more parents to finance their children's college education. There is, however, a solution to this problem which lies in the tax credit concept. The most important feature of this is the tution tax credit. An example of this is seen in the Ribicoff Bill. Here credit is based on the first $1500 paid for tuition, fees, books, and supplies per student at a college or university. In this bill the amount of credit is 75 per cent of the first $200 paid, 25 per cent of the next $300, and 10 per cent of the next $1000. This credit is not a deduction. Instead, the credit is sub- stracted from the amount of taxes the individual or parent would owe. Who would benefit from this program? Sixty-two percent of the dollar benefit would go to families with incomes between $3,000 and $10,000. These families make up 62 per cent of our population. Students of limited means would also be aided be- cause of the millions of dollars of scholarship aid which could be liberated to help them. For instance, scholarship-holding students from middle income families could reduce their scho- larships to the extent that they received tax credits. This would permit the institutions to make more generous and selective use of currently available scholarship funds. Tuition tax credits will help. "Its benefits will devolve fairly and impartially upon the parents of students at all types of in- stitutions. Its fruits will serve national interest by helping to provide better education to more of our young men and women despite rapidly rising costs. It will strengthen the diversity which has been the bedrock of our educational excellence.' CA Offers New Tutorial Service Opportunities To strive to create and dis- cover novel service projects , the Agnes Scott Christian As- sociation looked in the Decatur area for needs, which, accord- ing to Kathy Stubbs, director of the service projects," are in our own neighborhood, and are vital to the overshadowing of ignorance and unhappiness. CA desires service efforts to be re - levent." "Because the most success- ful project by far sponsored by CA has been the tutorial ones, where there is a personal re- lationship, a one to one ratio, and an individual responsibility for each student involved," na- thy commented, 'Sve have dis- covered three new projects which function on the same scale as these projects." The first new service oppor- tunity calls for students to tutor children in the Kirkwood area ranging from grammar school to high school age. Working in conjunction with the Kirkwood Christian Center, the Rev. Law- rence Robinson and the Rev. Daniel Bryan, the ASC students will tutor in basic subjects or teach music lessons one after- noon per week for one hour. "Arrangements can be made di- rectly with the Center by call- ing 377-6353," instructed Ka- they. Decatur High To work with Negro students who have transferred to Deca- tur High School epitomizes the second project. "Math tutors are especially needed, but any field can be used greatly," said Kathey. The tutoring will be from 7-8:30 PM on Wednesdays at the Trinity Presbyterian Church behind Decatur High. A workshop for interested participants is scheduled for January 29 at the St. Bartho- lomew Episcopal Church from 12-3 p.m. "The kids have the ability but need attention to develop it, " observed Kathey. "I find this highly rewarding, for working with the same child, the progress in school work can be watched." The third project, created and initaited by Kathey, involves recreational work with Negro Wolf Whistle Bad Taste At Fashion Show Dear Editor. Styles change but etiquette does notl A wolf whistle from a lady is certainly not "in vo- gue" at a fashion show. At the recent bridal showing many of those present were to- children in the Decatur area. "The project is still on the drawing board," commented Kathey. "Definite arrange- ments for a meeting place have not been made, but we hope to use the AA cabin. "In this way we will give the kids more opportunities and we will give the Scott girls a chance to work with children and for- get their studies for a while. We hope to take these kids on tours of Atlanta including the zoo, the capital, or the Coca- Cola plant." C.A. HOPES TO HELP such Decatur children as these through its new service projects. Intrigue Marks "Spy; r Burton's Acting Good by Virg "Intrigue" is perhaps the best word to describe the plot of the film rendition of John Le Carre's best seller, The Spy Who Came in From the Cold. From its tense beginning until its bizarre ending, the film is a challenge to all those in the audience who haven't read the book. inia Russell Richard Burton, playing the part of "the spy," hands in a top flight performance. His cha- racter is that of a moody, sto- lid man who occasionally alle- viates the tension by exercising his dry wit. Claire Bloom plays the part of Burton's librarian lover who is also a member of the Com- munist party. She is consistant- ly an idealistic, naive charac- ter. tally embarrassed by the imma- ture act of one student. We feel this display of crudeness was a reflection on the entire stu- dent body. Perhaps a change in curri- culum should include a course in manners. Alice Alexander Bonnie Rea Linda Cole Action switches from London to Holland to Berlin's Wall in swift sequence. The great amount of action, added to the complexity of the plot makes the movie seem much shorter than it actually is. Much of the fun of watching is working out the plot and deciding who is on whose side. For a good, believable game of cops and robbers, "The Spy Who Came In From the Cold" is the movie to see.

And somethings have gone wrong. Some serious things and some very serious things. The weather is ugly. The external fact of a slacken- ed social life is certainly de- pressing. These things are se- rious. We all feel them. Yet there is one very serious thing that may have been over- looks because at first glance it seems trivial. Some things are missing on this campus. And they aren't "intangibles." At this point one can't continue to believe these things have simply been "misplaced." They are small things. They are cards and magazines taken from the Hub. Twelve decks of cards in one quarter nearly a deck per week. Thirty dollars' worth of magazines which week after week continue to disap- pear. These items are clearly mar- ked as the property of the Hub. There is no question of "mis- taken identity." The plain fact is that cards and magazines are being sto- len from the Hub petty thefts by petty thieves. And this is very serious. What sort of person sells his integrity so cheaply? What is the reaction of the campus to be? Shall Social Council continue to spend the money of the stu- dent body to supply materials to be stolen? Must we degrade ourselves by dorm searches? Judicial Council has remin- ded the campus that stealing is punishable by expulsion. But it is going on right now. And it is very serious. Who are these people? What are they thinking? Who has these cards and magazines? Why have they taken them? Whoever does have them needs badly to ask herself what has gone wrong this winter quarter at Agnes Scott? Conservatives Hear About Rhodesian Crisis At the present time the Uni- ted States is applying harsher economic sanctions on Ian Smith's Rhodesian government than it is on the Communist government in North Vietnam. This was the report of Taylor Scotties Hear About Viet Move At the Student Government chapel January 6 a discussion of Affirmation: Vietnam was presented by some of its lea- ders to the student body. This is now being supplemented by weekly meetings of hall repre- sentatives who will give an- nouncements to the students. The latest news from the or- ganization is that the keynote speaker for the assembly Febr- uary 12 at Atlanta Stadium will be Secretary of State Dean Rusk. Added to that news is the fact that Bob Hope is taping a special show to be shown on television here in Atlanta Febr- uary 6. Also on the show with Hope will be Gov. Carl Sanders and Sen. Richard B. Russell, chairman of the Senate's Armed Services Committee. Sarah Uzzeil has issued a call for all students who have or can get a car February 12 to let their hall representative know as soon as possible. Jones, chairman of the Geor- gia Young Americans for Free- dom, when he spoke to the Con- servative Club January 13. His program entitled "The Crisis in Rhodesia" stressed that there was no evidence of collective suppression in the country based on race. Instead, the only qualificaton for voting is education which is provided free to the level which allows citizens the right to vote. Under the present constitu- tion, which Ian Smith supports, the entire population would gra- dually be able to vote, and a black majority of voters would be achieved in at least 15 years. However Mr. Jones stated that the government in Great Britain wants a total majority vote immediately with no quali- fications. The principal leaders of this harassment are the La- bor Party and the Johnson ad- ministraton in the United Sta- tes. Mr. Jones indicated that the vast majority of the voters, even among the blacks, had votedfor independence in Ian Smith's re- ferendum. However, the sur- vival of Smith's government is in doubt, and it is unlikely that it can stand without economic assistance.

Students Present Henderson Play "I was going through my short stories looking for one to sub- mit to the short story contest when I ran across the play. I said "why not?" and sent it in." On this whim, Bonnie Jo Henderson submitted "There's Some Milk In the Ice Box" to the "Mademoiselle" writing competition and won first place for one-act plays. 'There's Some Milk in the Ice Box" will be presented in the Dana theatre onThursday, Feb- ruary 3. "We're intending the play as a workshop," Bonnie Jo explains. There will be a discussion following the forty- minute production. "Oneof the reasons fordoing the play is that it offers an opportunity to realize what the author intended," pointed out Bonnie Jo, who has discussed each of the characters with the actors. "And it gives me a chance to see what lines could and couldn't be used on the stage. I rewrite as we go." Bonnie Jo discussed how the play has changed, and is chang- ing; for her it is not static. Written originally for submiss- ion to the Southern Literary Festival, it has undergone the author's revision seven times. It has even been rewritten since its publication in the September issue of "Mademoiselle". "If you asked me if I would change anything right now," stated the author after a month and a half of rehearsal, "I would write a three-act play." The play published in "Ma- demoiselle" is one work and the one to be presented on the stage in February is another, according to the author, for "the students are working out their own interpretation." Understanding the actors' in- terpretation of the characters has been a learning experience for the playwright. "I hadn't done the intense study of cha- racter relations that these ac- tors are having to analyze and work out for themselves," said Bonnie Jo. "For example, the character of Dolly was never real to me til I heard Malie read it for the first time." Malie Bruton and Libby Pot- ter are the actresses from Ag- nes Scott. From Georgia Tech come Sid Schell, Pete Remsen, Ed Griff en and Oliver Jones. Dr. Francis Benjamin from the Emory University history de- partment completes the cast. The author herself cast the play. Miss Green of the drama de- partment is directing the play, and Blackfriars president Alice Airth is assistant director and stage manager. Miss Rentz' play-production class is handling the lighting, and Blackfriars committees are in charge of props and cos- tumes. Bunny Foster manages the sets and Margaret Peyton is technical director. Thursday, February 3, was selected "so everyone can come." The first basketball game of the season will be held Friday, January 21. The freshmen will play the juniors; the seniors will play last year's champions, the sophomores. "MOCKINGS" FROM RAMON A Dear Mom, Everything is excitement around here. Cassandra is con- stantly dashing off from one protest to another. Her current passions are, of course, Af- firmation: Vietnam and the Bond case. Actually I've been doing a little myself. Our hall has taken a vote and decided that the fastest, easiest way to win the war would be to send me over to the Viet Cong. As for the General Assembly situation, as soon as I heard that they had refused to seat Bond, I dash- ed down with my placard de- fending 007 Then I learned the J was for Julian, not James, so left Cassandra to do the de- monstrating. Today was disastrous. I went to lunch right after my 11:10 class. It must have taken a little longer than I realized to get through the line. I thought it only seemed like two hours. I must have enjoyed the delicious meal longer than usual, too, be- cause when I looked up, it was already 2. This being lab day, I panicked and hitched a ride to Campbell with Dr. Calder. vVhen I arrived, no one was there, so I guess we had a cut. I enjoyed my nap. I've gotten started on my term paper for English, My topic is not exactly on the list, so he thinks we ought to talk about it. I don't see what's wrong with the history of motorcycles beginning with the development of the bicycle and continuing throught the scooter, culmina- ting in the fine specimen seen on our highways today. I did a lot of research Saturday; I rode over 20 miles. Last week I dropped by the Hub party and ran into my old friend from Rho Rho Rho, quite literally, of course. We had coffee together, all over both of us. He had driven out another boy who had a date, and said he was just about to call me. Of course, I didn't know my number was listed in the current issue of Time. Anyway, we had a good time together and he asked me out for Saturday night. I hope I'll get to see 'Thunderball" for the 12th time. All my love to you and Butch, Ramona Baileys Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Phone DR-3-0172 DID YOU KNOW?

Theory Class Conducts Classical Era Seminar Travel In Russia by As a climax to a five-week study of the music of the Baro- que era, the Music 308 class under the leadership of Dr. Hen- sel conducted a weekend semi- nar January 8 and 9. The seminar was held at a Trip Behind Iron Curtain Brings New Understanding "It was the warmth of the Russian people that impressed me more than anything else while I was there," said Gay Johnson ('69). Gay made this observation after a twenty-eight day stay in Russia this summer. This visit was included in a private tour of seven countries with the "East vVest Study Tour". Gay has much to say about her trip that cannot be covered in one article. But she speaks fre- quently to groups on campus and is eager to share her ex- periences. Gay Johnson by Justice Waldrop "I want people to think more, feel more, not just think about The Enemy'," she explains. Perhaps this sensitivity would be more probable if we all could have shared Gay's exper- iences. The purpose of the tour was to get to know the people, and the means employed was primarily talking with them. The group itself offered was unique. The students ranged from sixteen to twenty-two in age. They were from all over the United States, from Coral Gables, to Houston, and Chi- cago. It included two Germans. "Discussion among the group was always lively because of the diversity," Gay said. Since each person in the group knew a language besides his native tongue, they were their own interpreters. They traveled from France, to Germany, Poland, Russia, Rumania, Hungary, Austria, then returned to France. All over, both in Russia and in the other countries, Gay found the natives "pro Ameri- NOTICE The PROFILE has changed its weekly news meeting to Thursday night at 6:30. Ef- fective tonight. cans but anti -America that is, anti -institutional America." She found them consistently against America's policy in Vietnam. The group's experiences in Russia were unique in that un- like most tourists, they man- aged to talk with the men on the street. Every tourist group is given a guide, provided by the govern- ment, who carefully selects what the group should and should not see. "Our guide was real gung- ho Russian red all the way through," Gay recalls. But she couldn't keep up with all twenty-seven of them at once, so they all were able to talk a great deal with the people. "We wanted to talk to the people, not see the typical tourist sights. We talked from the moment we arrived, from the every-day man on the street to the highest official we could get to," said Gay. In Moscow, for example, be- sides talking for hours with na- tives, they talked with police- men, who are lower govern- ment officials They talked to the official delegation of the Northern Lib- eration Front, the Viet Cong representatives in Russia. They CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 Adelia MacNair lodge in Dillard, Ga., where good food, quiet surroundings and abundant time provided the necessary factors for stimu- lating and meaningful discus- sion. The three discussions of the seminar were based on the question: what factors, non- musical and musical, shaped the music of this era i.e., what events in political, philosophi- cal, religious, social, econo- mic, and artistic activities dur- ing this time influenced the Baroque composers as they de- veloped characteristic styles and forms? In the first discussion each member of the class reported on a specific aspect in the over-all situation of the seven- teenth and early eighteenth cen- turies. The second discussion was an attempt to analyze the speci- fic events and conditions of the time which influenced directly or indirectly the music of J. S. Bach. After this probing study of the context in which music de- veloped, the group was ready in its third discussion to analyze- some specific works of Bach including the cantata Wachet A_uf, the Or chestral Suite in B Minor , and the Brandenbu rg Concert! numbers 2 and 5. This extended seminar com- posed of several consecutive sessions proved to be an excit- ing and worthwhile means for going deeper than the textbooks . in confronting more adequately the questions underlying any study of a specific development. What were the factors which influenced and shaped it, and in what kind of conditional con- text did it grow? The class, as a result, returned with this study as background much bet- ter prepared to launch into a study of the classical age in music be Saturday at Prichett's, from 8:30 to 12:30. In selecting a place, "we were careful to get the most for our money," ac- cording to Terri, "since So- cial Council and A. A. wanted to provide the student body with two quality weekends." An innovation this year will be free cokes and parking. The entire weekend costs $4. Ac- cording to Mary Helen Good- loe, "one dollar per person per dance is a really good buy!" Music will be provide d by the Soul Searchers formerly known as the Kingsmen. Social Council representative Fontaine- Harper recommends them, saying "I've he ard them several time s, and they provide- a real gooel party atmosphere-."

JANUARY 27, 1966 PAGE 2 Retrospection: RE Week Betty Butler, Religious Emphasis Week chairman, is "pleased with the response to Religious Emphasis Week." She feels that many students share her attitude. There is some adverse cri- ticism to Dr. Marney that he "talked down to women," that one "wanted to pull his point out of his roundabout lectures," that he flaunted knowledge outside his field, knowledge not al- ways accurate at that. There will always be such critical re- sponse, especially, as Betty puts it, to "a definite personality." But we agree with Betty that the good results of RE Week are seen in the tremendous response created, to both Dr. Marney and what he said. As a matter of fact, he was reportedly "over- whelmed" by the response at week's end. Many people were happy to find him not talking the usual re- assuring line. "I think he worked up to something positive by the end of the week," says Betty, "but it was in different language." Such an attitude in message and in open willingness to talk, and more importantly to him, to listen is refreshing in anyone, especially in an RE speaker. Such a willing attitude is doubt- less the reason for the success of the anything-goes evening discussions, where students asked the questions. Perhaps Dr. Marney's attitude was halfway defeated before he reached the campus, however. There is evidence that the week was somehow set aside as a special holy time. For instance, yearbook pictures, requiring 30 minutes an evening, as well as a fire drill, could not be scheduled. (Fires do not hestitate to break out anytime, even Religious Emphasis Week). VesDers. of course, were canceled, but, as Betty says, "Speaking just in C.A. terms, there's only so much time in a day, and the discussions were 'more important." But the canceling of other activities worries us. There is not question of a time conflict. If it was an effort to set the week very much apart from others, it was only a half-hearted effort, for tests and papers were still vividly with us. Dr. Marney came very eager to talk to us and perhaps help us in our lives of this world the lives of pictures and tests and fire drills; he wanted to meet us where we stand, but we stood in a special place to meet him. Finally, we come to the choice of Dr. Marney, or any Reli- gious Emphasis speaker. The decision is not a student one. And it seems hardly fair, to speak bluntly, for C.A. to run a show whose star it did not pick. We do not wish to be radical; we are not in a position to know everyone who is well qualified. But we must agree with Betty that "students should be allowed to make suggestions that would be very seriously considered." We hope things can work on these lines in future. As for the choice of Dr. Carlyle Marney for Religious Emphasis Week 1966, we again agree with Betty: "It worked out very well." It seems to me that something is revealed about each class from the following cheers heard during the last hockey game. Seniors (ccolly); Rip'em up, tear 'em up, go Madeline 1 Freshmen (eagerly): Ishum wishum squashum washum bo bo, etc. Sophomores (deafeningly): We are the best, S-P-I-R-I-T. Juniors (plaintively): I wish those sophomores would sit down in front. The greatest artist is he who makes those who appreciate his work of art join actively in the process of creation.

Notes From Underground If you haven't been to Underground Atlanta, make it a point to go; there's nothing like a little adventure to pep up Winter Quarter. Underground Atlanta stands on the site of Old Atlanta. It didn't start out to be under- ground at all, but over the years viaducts, overpasses, and the like have completely submerged whole blocks of the city, right in the heart of Downtown near Five Points. Most of Underground Atlanta is ware- houses, but there is one place with an awn- ing-covered entrance called "Big John's." A dive, I suppose. (Dive, Underground, get it?) The walls are dank and drippy, in the Murky Gothic Novel tradition. There are in- congruous fire hydrants, stop signs, and no parking signs. Don't go alone, and don't go at night, but go. How to get there is sort of an unofficial secret, I gather, so find it yourself. Faculty Ten u re Members of the Agnes Scott faculty are either given or not given tenure after they're taught here three years. It is during these first three years that the administration, the dean of the faculty, and his staff evalu- ate the new teachers. W'e as students can give these administra- tors helpful information about new teachers, because WE are the people who see them in action, day in and day out in the classroom. Too often we just gripe among ourselves about bad teachers, they receive their tenure, and we are stuck with them for years and years. vVe have a real responsibility to air our professorial complaints AND plaudits be- fore the administration and other responsible ears. But it is most important that we be mature in what we say. The administration will welcome our criticism as long as it is sound, constructive criticism. They don't have time to listen to the complaints of immature students who just don't know how to get along with their professors. Campus Politics A week from today we're having an im- portant student meeting. Rep Council's mo- tion concerning the creation of the office of student government vice president and its motion concerning the creation of a pub- lications board will be the major topics. Get familiar with these issues before you go. GO is the operative word here, of course. So far this year attendance at these meetings has been good. Thursday's issues are pro- bably the most vital ones we've have all year, so come and vote. PROFesSlotV- STUDENT PAUC HftJHEA/V "im ism, m ep. %, w mm Mix' ANP' W. THK 1m, ID SQ. 11, M <>Wh\X TAKfc UP..." Practice Teaching John Ciardi says "there are no dull teachers; there are only dull people in classrooms impersonating teachers." In this state- ment he underlines the most important fact about teaching: The success or failure of a teacher depends on what happens when she is in front of a class. vVithout question, practice in the art of holding the attention of a class and in being a real teacher is a great help to prospective teachers. Agnes Scott students who plan to teach are fortunate in having the opportunity to practice under a trained and exper- ienced person in a local school during spring quarter of their senior year. But we raise this question: Is it academically valid for the grades which practice teachers get to be considered exactly as are grades other students get for papers and tests? Does five hours of A in practice teaching equal five hours of A in independent study? Should 18 hours of A in practice teaching count towards Phi Beta Kappa? There is an essential difference- between work IN class and work BEFORE a class that leads us to say no, it is not valid. What we do in class at Agnes Scott is pure academic work. Even research projects and lab work, as they are handled at Agnes Scott, constitute purely academic endeavor. On the other hand practice teaching is APPLIED learning. Practice teachers go into classrooms and apply what they have learned in seminars and education courses. We are not saying that practice teaching is easy. It is a delicate- job, and one which requires careful and constant preparation. The point we are making is that practice teaching and regular classwork are different disciplines. They should not be evaluated on the same scale, and success in one discipline should not be rewarded with an honor indicative of success in clearly another discipline altogether. "MOCKINGS" FROM RAMON A Dear Mom, Let me tell you about my date last weekend. My Rho Rho Rho pal and I headed for Tom and Irma, but, since it's a double feature, Tom was half over. My sophomore friends had warned us not to miss the first part, so we didn't go in. Finally we decided the thing to do was see Richard Burton, but we spied the long line and knew we'd never get out of the cold. We ended up at "That Darn Cat". It was all right until I started sneezing. I had almost forgotten about that cat allergy. I had such a great time. Rob- in and I make a dynamic duo; he's wonderful. I've asked him to the dance, so please send me something to wear. Dress covers a wide range so I think I'd like my pea-green May Day dress with the puce sash. Don't forget the hoop. And, of course, you know to send my purple and yellow leopard cock- tail (hal) dress. You might stick in my roaring twenties number. I'd like that as soon as pos- sible because I'll have to dye these shoes. I can't remember exactly what shade of brown it is mouse or murky. We may have our picture tak- en, but since the dance is at - Would you believe? - Prit- chett's Cafeteria we might have the cash register in the back- ground. At least, as my friend Caro- lyn Dahlem says, they're having a unique stag line. Just pick up your tray.... I hope it's not too dark that night. I'm not quite sure of the exact location and we might get the wrong warehouse. I had my conference about my term paper, and he's going to let me do the history of motor- cycles after all. He did sug- gest that our library probably won't have too much informa- tion so I'd better go over to Tech. (I wonder if my inten- tion was a bit too obvious in that choice of subject?) I can't wait for the next rain- ing day, Mom. This nice man just gave me a free batbrella. Give my love to Butch and the whole gang.

Activities include the tradi- tional Dolphin Club water show, which will be presented twice Friday evening, and an exhi- bition College Bowl match in chapel Friday. Also on Friday, the sophs will face the seniors in basket- ball at 4. From 3 to 5:30 sop- homores and their parents can meet each other and the fa- culty at the open house in Win- ship. There will be a tour of the Dana Fine Arts Building Fri- day from 2 to 4. Mr. Tumblin will speak at chapel Saturday morning. At 12:30 the luncheon for sopho- mores and their families will begin in the dining hall. An innovation this year will be a faculty panel following the meal. Dr. Alston, Dean Kline, Mr. McNair, and Miss Scan- drett will answer questions from parents. Dr. and Mrs. Alston will host sophomores and parents at a tea at their home Saturday from 3:30 to 5:30.

Phillips, Winship open house; Susan Clarke and Betty Whitaker, luncheon; Dale Steel, Limited Affirmation For A: V Movement Dear Editor: As the "Affirmation: Viet- nam" movement sweeps cam- pus, state, and nation, I feel it necessary that we question and clarify some of the appeals on which the organization gains support. 1. The appeal of being posi- tive must be tempered by a rea- lization that in many ways this is an anti-anti organization, existing to counteract the pub- licity of the "pacifist-draft- dodger element." "Affirmation: Vietnam" de- fends the rights of such people. Furthermore, it is probably historically true that every as- sertion ever made has been partly a negative reaction to something else. But we must make certain how much is negation. We must al- so be sure that we are affirm- ing something more than a good image for college students. 2. The appeal of affirma- tion amidst the doubt, ques- tioning, and uncertainty ex- pressed by many, including many experts, is strong. Is it valid, though, to get swept up and affirm just for the sake of affirming? We must be careful what we are affirm- ing. 3. Is it really possible that the February rally will be heard as affirming the basic commit- ment but not the day-to-day act- ions of our government? Of course one can make ex- ceptions in endorsing a general policy. But there is a limit beyond which we cannot support a "why" without supporting the "what." An affirmation of our com- mitment will affirm its basis and nature. It will endorse the refusal to consider any of the Viet Cong as legitimate South Vietnamese on which our defi- nition of freedom for that coun- try has continued to be based. It will affirm to the world, .whatever we intend, a military commitment. 4. I deplore such things as the harassment of soldiers' wives and the attacks on the in- dividual men because of their courageous actions in service of their government. The soldiers deserve our en- couragement and admiration. But does this oblige us to sup- port the government in sending them? 5. The appeal to rally to the support of the government points up one of my major crit- icisms. The government has not committed itself at the de- mand of the people of this coun- try. Time and again, and this cannot always be justified as necessary strategy, the govern- ment has acted secretly, given false information as to what it was doing, then informed the nation (often because it has been forced to by news cover- age), then asked for support of what it has done. This is a reversal of democ- racy as I understand it. 6. Perhaps the major appeal of the movement at Agnes Scott is only implied. Everyone seems to endorse "Affirma- tion: Vietnam," from the state bigwigs to entertainers to stu- dent body presidents to all the girls on the hall. But the appeal of mass sup- port, used by everyone from Bill Graham to Madison Avenue, does not necessarily validate anything. It appeals to the emotions more than to reason. Conformity certainly should not be the only reason you can give for support of "Affirma- tion: Vietnam." Grace Winn mm CLAIRMONT-AT- NORTH DECATUR.

Gov- ernor Sanders and Senator Rus- sell will join Mr. Hope in the informal discussion about "Af- firmation: Vietnam" and about Mr. Hope's recent entertain- ment tour of Vietnam. The program will be broad- cast February 6 at 5 p.m. on channel 2. As Sarah Uzzell said, 'This program should be very inter- esting and we're all very ex- cited about it. We also hope that Bob Hope will be able to attend the rally." Dean Rusk The keynote speaker for the rally February 12 will be Dean Rusk, Secretary of State. Spokesmen for A:V urge all Ag- nes Scott students to make room on their schedules for this rally at Atlanta Stadium. Including hall representa- tives and students working in the offices at Emory, "Affir- mation: Vietnam" has invol- ved over 200 Agnes Scott stu- dents. According to Sarah Uzzell, "Affirmation ; Vietnam" has jolted this campus more than anything in the past four years." The chairmen of the various committees have been announ- ced. Kathy Blee and Betsy Jones head the hall represen- tatives and set up opinion polls. C. C. Ford and Vicki Justice are in charge of the Watt line telephoning at Emory, used to contact mayors and other offi- cials in cities in Georgia to update them on the "Affirma- tion: Vietnam" calendar. Tina Bender and Susan Aik- man arc working with high schools in the area. Susan Landrum, Claire Al- len, and Sarah Uzzell have been making speeches.

Cooper, Davidson Shine Q: Why do you think it worthwhile to come to a campus for a Religious Emphasis Week? A: I come to get a pulse, a point of view. You are not isolated here. Your homes and your backgrounds are with you very much. I get a feedback of political, social and re- ligious ideas from all over the country. It would be not only arrogant but false for me to assume that I could do you some good. We will have to discover whether my coming means anything or not. I may or 1 may not be heard. 1 have come to find out if we can talk. I must be true to what has happened in my life. We are all human beings with myths, masks, and inner pressures. I want to know what there is to find if I am heard. We must find out what can be done where we are today. If that is the same as what the Bible says, then it will be Christian. I have to come, and not lie, and let it happen or not. It's out of my hands. The issue is always in doubt, but 1 am obligated to come. I am not only willing but eager to hear your views. But our conversation must open with a question from you. I am willing not to be heard by many for the fun of being heard by one, or 10 or 20. But there is always the prospect of failure. Q: What do you, as a representative of the church, have to say to us as represen- tatives of the campus? A; I'm anything but a representative of the church. I wasn't asked as a represen- tative of the church. I'm obviously not a very good Baptist or I wouldn't have been asked. I wouldn't have been asked if I were a very strict southern Presbyterian. The church is a medium through which here and there Christ may be represented. But there's no guarantee. But anywhere I do meet him, it is church. by Ann Teat A third quarter rally proved unsuccessful Friday as the so- phomores defeated the seniors, 41-34. The game revealed new talent in the form of Elizabeth Cooper, a transfer from Baylor and soph high scorer with 14 points. Alice Davidson was overall high scorer with 16 points. Jan Gaskell and Lucy R ose record- ed 12 and 11 points respective- iy. The freshmen team won over the juniors. The freshmen led 23-15 when the game was for- feited because of insufficient number of players due to in- juries. Patricia Auclair, Lou Frank, and Windy Lundy led the fresh- men to victory; Linda Cooper Scott Deadline Nears For Festival Entries Attention all writers: Contri- butions for the Southern Liter- ary Festival are now being ac- cepted. Entries may be one act plays, a single poem or a series of related poems, short stories, informal essays and formal or critical essays. LDH Adds Sandwiches Our lower dining hall is no longer a mere lower dining hall. It's a soda fountain, a Jimmie's and a P. byC. (min- us the P.). Thanks to Mrs. Ethel Jen- kins, who worked at Emory for 12 years before coming here, the L. D. H. will be enhanced by a new menu board. Among these recent addi- tions are sandwiches: bacon- lettuce - and - tomato, ham, ham-club, pimento cheese, and peanut-butter-and-jelly. There are also new drinks, ice creams and sherbets. A hot dog machine may be in- stalled. But that's not all-there is a house specialty: the Scott Derby. Yes, it is a hat, but with different ingredients: pound cake, ice cream, choco- late sauce, whipped cream, and a cherry. Bonhoeffer, Cox Spark Classes The office of Alumnae Af- fairs announces the 1966 Con- tinuing Edcation Program for alumnae and their husbands and friends. Miss Mary Boney and Mrs. Margaret Pepperdene will lead courses in the current challen- ges to faith and readings in the contemporary novel, respec- tively. The education program will commence February 1 and con- tinue for five consecutive Tues- day nights from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. The religion studies will in- clude selected Biblical refer- ences and works of Bonhoef- fer, Cox, Robinson, and Thie- licke. A study of American, British, French, and Italian novelists including Flannery O'Connor, Muriel Spark, Alberto Moravia and Albert Camus will compose the novel course. Creative entries will be judg- ed by a faculty-student commit- tee and critical entries by a faculty committee. The papers chosen by the committees will be sent as Agnes Scott's entries for the festival writing compe- tition. Last year the Southern Lit- erary Festival was held on the *'01e Miss" campus in Oxford, Mississippi. Special guests were Eudora Welty, Ruth Ford, Malcolm Cowley and Robert Penn Warren. This year the festival will be held April 22-24 at the Univer- sity of Alabama. The deadline for entries is February 7. All work should be typed and double spaced. En- tries should be turned into Miss Trotter's office, 317 Buttrick. Preston Awards The deadline for entries in the competition for the Janef Newman Preston Poetry Awards is January 31. This is thefirst year that these awards have been offered. The first place award is $25, second $15, and third $10. Durin g the past weeks a poe- try workshop has been conduct- ed on campus. However, stu- dents who have not attended the workshop are eligible to enter the competition. Poems should be typed and unsigned. Accompanying the poem should be a sealed enve- lope containing the author's name. The title of the poem would be on the outside of the envelope. Entries must be placed in the AURORA box in the mailroom on or before January 31. There is no limit to the number of entries a student may submit. The poems will be judged by a faculty - student committee. Winning poems will be publish- ed in the winter quarter issue of AURORA and sent to the Southern Literary Festival.

Love, Popeye Gay Discusses Russia Continued also talked to the New York Times foreign correspondent in Moscow. One of the most interesting situations the group experien- ced was reading in the Russian papers about the racial riots in Watts, California. "We thought the whole United States had fallen into the Pa- cific," Gay said, because the story was so exploited. They printed the worst pic- tures, and the story, while "technically true, was a skil- ful bit of propaganda," she stated. "This is what they do with the information we feed them." This episode, Gay suggests, is a good example of the view the Russians have of Ameri- cans. Both the Vietnam situa- tion and the racial troubles are featured in an exploitative man- ner by the Russian press. Viel n a in Opin ion She noticed the worst pic- tures on the newspapers, such as those of American protest "peace" marchers. There is a general impres- sion created by the press in from page 1 Russia, according to Gay's ob- servations, that the Americans are generally against the gov- ernment's actions in Vietnam and that the public has very lit- tle voice in the decisions. Gay points out several ob- servations which she wished to impress upon Americans with whom she comes in contact. "I keep remembering the title of a Pete See ger album, "Stran- gers and Brothers,' because that's what we all are, really. I was constantly impressed by the warmth of the Russians.... In the American minds it is still a Stalinistic Russia, with terror and blood in the streets. Stalin no longer lives."

Summer Tour I n f o r in a t i o n Now Available "Ever Been To Outer Mongo- lia?", "Europe by Car", "A Great Student Ship Sails Again." Scotties planning summer tours need to be looking for slogans such as these. They'll all be found in pamphlets in the voca- tional office, "Especially if you're inter- ested in an economy tour, you need to plan for it right now," said Miss lone Murphy, voca- tional guidance counselor. She has all the information about tours, study plans or work programs for the summer spent in almost any foreign country. Here are some unusual travel opportunities: Youth hosteling is an inex- pensive summer travel idea popular with European students. American Youth Hostels, Inc., says "Travel simply with sev- en of your friends and a train- ed leader. Meet the unexpect- ed by cycle, train, or station wagon," The price for this trip -$170 for Morocco, Poland or Hawaii Operation Crossroads Africa requires a fluency in French of those who join its tour and work camp project. The nine week program costs $1000. Students interested in sum- mer study abroad could con- sider the Experiment in Inter- national Living, the Centre D'Art Mediterranee, or the International College of Copen- hagen. Miss Murphy will see any student by appointment. Plan your summer abroad now. Visit or Phone WATSON PHARMACY FOR Prompt Delivery DR 3-1665 Your Nearest Drug Store Decatur Co- Op Cabs 24 HR.

The production will be in Dana Fine Arts Building. No ad- mission will be charged. Fol- lowing the one-act play will be an on-stage discussion led by Mrs. June Youngblut. Sid Schell of Georgia Tech plays the part of a war vete- ran, the leading role. Malie Bruton of Agnes Scott plays Dollie Roemer, his second wife. Hubert the Welfare child will be played by Oliver Jones of Ga. Tech. Dr. Francis Benjamin, of Emory University history de- partment, plays Elijah Sasson, an old ice man. The role of candy striper Shirley Brannon will be portrayed by ASC freshman Libby Potter. The remainder of the cast draws from the Sigma Phi Ep- silon fraternity at Georgia Tech of which Oliver Jones and Sid Schell are also members. Ed Griffin plays the part of a de- German Club Does Goethe's "Der Urfaust Goethe's "Der Urfaust" will be presented in Dana Fine Arts Wednesday, February 16 at 8:15 p.m. The production is in Ger- man, but an English scene-by- scene synopsis will be provided in the program. Blair-Louise Major ('68) will play the part of Gretchen. Gail Livingston and Susan Bergeron are also in the cast. Mrs. Shiver of the German Depart- ment is directing the play which is an early, incomplete version of "Faust." There will be no admission charge. 1 by Justice Waldrop livery boy and Pete Rem sen portrays Jack Roemer. The discussion after the pro- duction will allow questions from the audience to both the actors and the playwright. Mrs. Youngblut, director of Quaker House in Atlanta, is working on her Ph.D. in the Institute of Liberal Arts at Emory. The set, made by Blackfriars try-outs and members from an original design by Bunny Foster, is like the framework of a house. The walls are not filled in, so that the audience may be aware of people enter- ing and exiting, and "aware of the house itself as a symbol," said Bonnie lo. Rehearoals have not been with- out amusing moments, of which Beastie contributed his share. His position was threatened by two Siamese cats offered by Mona Umphlet, but "baby sit- ting" with nervous cats became a bit taxing, and when the play- wright herself decided that a cat was not absolutely necessary, "everyone was overjoyed," she admits. Ironically, the milk in the ice box itself presented pro- blems, when it spoiled one day. It became a test of acting abi- lity and fortitude to say lines in front of the ice box with a straight face. If the roles are realistically portrayed, it is with good rea- son. The role of Walter the war veteran calls for acute stomach pains which actor Sid Schell had never experienced. But "we all fussed at him, and now he has acute stomach pains," said Bonnie Jo. Oliver Jones who plays the idiot has learned to cross his eyes and has even forsaken a well-parted hairdo for the sake of realism. Malie Bruton, a senior who is majoring in English, has compromised with the play- wright about the bad grammar which her role calls for but SEEN IN THIS PICTURE are twenty scattered reasons why Joan Kiker (left) and Debbie Rosen (right) won the coveted title of Wal- ters Dorm "Grub of the Week"; undaunted by the honor or the state of their room however, they struggle on in earnest academic endeavor. Reaction from neat roomate Rosen: "I don't believe it" when told of the honor. which she detests using. Malie has been frowned upon by her hall friends for the tight skirt and sleazy sweater she has been wearing for dress re- hearsals. Lighting for the production is being handled by Miss Ren- tz' play production class. Les Garber, a member of the class, and student at Emory, is in charge of the lights, and will be assisted by Angela Saad and Sally Barr. Margaret Peyton is respon- sible for make up, Betty But- ler for programs, and Cappy Page for publicity. DianneGray is in charge of props. Mary Helen Goodloe is tech- nical director (a correction of the error in last week's Pro- file). Blackfriars members are helping with make up and props, and Arts Council members are ushering. Miss Green is the director. "THERE'S SOME Milk in the Icebox," written by Bonnie Jo- Henderson, contained this scene played by Oliver Jones (left and Pete Remsen (right).

Fuller Plays Debussy, Shumann, Beethoven Mr. Jay C. Fuller, instructor of piano in the Agnes Scott Mu- sic department, will give a re- cital Friday, February 4, at 8:15 p.m. in Gaines Chapel. The program will be varied covering a wide range of music history. Beginning with the Baroque period, Mr. Fuller will play "Jesu, Joy of Man's De- siring." Beethoven and the classical period will follow di- rectly with "Sonata, Op. 53," commonly called the "Wald- stein" sonata because it was dedicated to Count Waldstein. The Romantic period is brought in next by Shumann's "Carnival". The Impression- ists, also of the Romantic per- iod, will be represented by De- bussy's "Reflets dans L'Eau", and by Faure's "Impromptu", "Alborado del gracioso Ravel. Mr. Fuller is a graduate of the Peabody Conservatory and the Johns Hopkins University, both in Baltimore. He has been praised by mem- bers of Scott's music and Eng- lish departments. Mr. McNair, who has studied with Mr. Full- er, calls him "a brilliant pianist". Mr. Martin praises him highly, "I think he is an exceptionally fine musician." Three of Mr. Martin's child- ren are studying under Mr. Fuller. As a concert pianist, Mr. Martin says, "He is one of the finest performers in At- lanta." Mr. Fuller's concert man- ager has arranged a number of programs this year, of which he does not yet know all the details.

FEBRUARY 3, 1966 PAGE 2 Dance Weekend Social Council and Athletic Association deserve both congratu- lations and thanks for the Winter Dance Weekend. Through their efforts, Agnes Scott has continued her tradition of successful dances. The idea of two dances was good. The contrast between the Hub party and the semi-formal affair was fun, and both dances were great. We like the idea of a dance WEEKEND. Perhaps in the spring we can add another feature open house. For the present, much credit goes to those who planned last weekend. The Saturday night dance was an outstanding one in a succession of good winter dances. The choice of the Soul Seachers and of Pritchett's proved appropriate and excellent. Again, congratulations and thanks. Independent Study Nobody reads independent study projects. Although each one is bound and placed in the library, few students ever know they are there, much less stop to read them. However, most of these works are on subjects of interest to us. Some of them, such as "Look, Stranger," have extremely interesting titles. And in the past independent study projects have ranged from "The Lint Dod- gers" to 'The Other Side of Roman Satin," covering all subjects from science to English. There are worlds of knowledge in these papers. Plus this, they illustrate new fields of interest which Agnes Scott students have explored-mainly in our library. It is a wonderful example of the knowledge, that people with the same resources we have, have found, and it points out the wealth of material that is in our li- brary. We should not let this vast amount of knowledge simply sit on the shelf. It is available to all of us, and there is no excuse not to use it. Dining Hall Hope We are sure that everyone who heard Mr. Lapheimer of Cam- pus Chefs, Inc. in chapel last Thursday appreciates his open helpful attitude. He is faced with two terrific problems simply preparing food for over 700 people and trying to please as many as possible. And he certainly is trying to please everyone he can. He heeds suggestions. If things are not as you like, it's probably because you've told only your friends. TellCampusChefs instead and they'll see what they can do. Such eagerness to please as well as serve is welcome and en- couraging. We look forward to more successful operation of and better satisfaction with the dining hall.

As an old college dropout of '40 I have an unfulfilled taste for the academic life. Books aren't enough. I yearn to go back to the cam- pus. 'The world's oldest schoolboy," my wife calls me. But I don't know if I could adjust to the present generation. Maybe it's too yeasty for me. Business took me out to Westwood on a re- cent Saturday morning. It was a limpid day, nippy and electric. A rain had washed down the trees and lawns and brick facades. I felt like a sophomore in Bzantium. A hold sign caught my eye; big red letters on a white placard: "LEGALIZE ABOR- TION I" it admonished. "Good God 1" I thought. "How things have changed." In my day a well-bred college man would never have thought the word abortion, much less use it in society. It might be coun- tenanced in a metaphoric sense, to suggest some grotesque fiasco. But never, never as a clinical procedure. I think they even em- ployed a euphemism for it in medical school. Since that eye-opening morn, I have been trying to keep abreast of the new tides on campus. Vicariously, as a subscriber to the Bruin and, rather less important, the father of a couple of UCLA sophomores, I am now involved. I am cast about in the heavy con- troversies that surge back and forth over the green hills and plains of Westwood. I devour Intro and Spectra. One day I'm a war hawk for victory at any cost in Viet Nam; and the next a dove, ready to put my dog-eared draft card to the torch. Yet in KW, I just loani fsfcu^rtj. my day, the gravest calamity of modern history was gathering over the world, about to open like a thundercloud, loosing death and misery on millions, but few of us seemed to notice. I fancy myself in the editor's chair, and I see nothing imprudent in assigning a half dozen nubile coed reporters to the medical department to test the availability of The Pill. When I was editor of the old college paper I could have never dared to send a gaggle of coeds on such a brazen mission. It would probably have meant expulsion, at least, and probably tar and feathers. In the eyes of 1940 propriety, I might have sent them naked up the stone steps of an Aztec sacrificial pyramid. In my day the chastity of the unespoused college girl was a sacred presumption, if not a shining fact. Contraception was no more openly discussed as a possible course of ac- tion than treason. The word "pill" meant aspirin or a rat fink. I'm afraid our drama class would have drowned in the new wave of undergraduate cinema. We had neither the money nor the creative license to turn out an evening of movies ranging in theme from a nude's night- mare to the loneliness of the long distance homosexual and collectively called "Op, Pop and Kicky Flicks." Our most daring presentation was, "Bury the Dead", Irwin Shaw's futile one-act pro- test (yes, we knew the word) against the folly and horror of war. I played a young soldier, killed in France, who refused to lie down and be buried. We never heard the likes of Dick Gregory, Joan Baez, Wayne Morse, or Martin King. Bertrand Russell would have been drummed out of our town as he was from the enlighten- ed city of New York. Our speakers were rarely controversial. Art Linkletter would have been all right, and Calvin Coolidge, but Linkletter was unheard of yet, and Coolidge was safely dead. But we weren't zeroes. We weren't exactly like nowhere. We did have our values. We had ideals and courage. We are the genera- tion that won the war. And we did produce the present generation, didn't we? After all, we didn't have the pill. But these are wider, higher times; exhila- rating times. The mood of my era was lan- guor. Our sex goddess was Dorothy Lamour. We read A. E. Houseman and Thomas Wolfe (not Tom Wolfe) and had nostalgia for a youth we hadn't even lost yet. Maybe we sensed not only that we were living our own youths out, but were living, for the last time, a kind of youth that was never to be again. I knew quite where I stood, though, on the issues of the day. I was for Wendell Wilkie, Benny Goodman, Jeanette McDonald, the U. S. Marine Corps and love. Where would I stand as an undergraduate today? I'm not so sure. At the moment, I don't see any graceful or prudent or sane way out of Viet Nam, but I have a feeling that be- ing there is all wrong. I'm for birth control if it isn't retroactive; I wouldn't want to be undone. And I have a couple of suggestions of my own. Plant some ivy out there. Everything looks so raw. Besides, it will impress your professors, especially those who have never been east of the Pecos. Don't sell Wendell Wilkie short. Don't kick so often on third down. Don't try to use the zone-court press against Duke. Beat Michigan State and Legalize Love. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor are welcome.

THE FRO FILE FEBRUARY 3, 1966 PAGE 3 Archbishop Hallinan Former ASC Prof Sims Tours Programs Abroad In her first year as dean at Sweet Briar, Mrs. Catherine Sims, formerly professor of history and political science at Agnes Scott, made a tour of Junior Year Abroad programs, including Sweet Briar's own program in France. Correction In last week's paper the edi- torial on practice teaching im- plied that grades in practice teaching can be counted toward Phi Beta Kappa. Practice teaching grades are not counted towards this award. The PROFILE is happy to set the record straight. The purpose of the trip was to visit as many programs in different countries as possible and to compare them with the Sweet Briar program. After visiting the Sweet Briar students and the families they are staying with in Paris, Mrs. Sims traveled to Munich, Athens, Florence, Madrid, and Rome. Examining these pro- grams, she found many simi- larities among them, though some programs were stronger than others. She also decided that study abroad for juniors is best for students specializing in lan- guages, literature, history, and history of art, and of least benefit to those interested in the natural science and mathe- matics. Scott Theft Increases With Other Schools 9 The recent outbreak of steal- ing at Agnes Scott is not a local problem. All over the country colleges are troubled by such crimes from petty theft to ma- jor break-ins. And no one is certain to what extent students are responsible. One major problem area is shoplifting, especially in school stores. The FBI has reported shoplifting as the nation's fast- est-growing crime, having in- creased 93 per cent in the past five years. Colleges report that students are often involved. A mer- cnant near Maryland's College More Students Plan Weddings Mary Pensworth and Fred Reagor are planning to be mar- ried this summer. Doris Morgan is engaged to Bobby Maye, a physics major at Georgia Tech. Linda Lou Colvard is enga- ged to Bob Dorian, a Washing- ton, D.C. employee of NASA. They are planning a late sum- mer wedding. Park campus says students are usually caught taking items they don't need. They consider it a "challenge to see if they can get away with it," he said. The Yale Co-op reported last fall that student arrests for shoplifting were averaging one a day. Store detectives said stu- dents from every area of the school had been involved. Campus police refer all cas- es directly to the New Haven police. Students are booked and ordered to appear in city courts. C. L. Willoughby, the Co-op's general manager, said that mo- tives ranged from "prankster- ism" to little-understood com- pulsions, which are seldom fi- nancial. At the University of North Carolina, Wally Kuralt, owner of the Intimate Bookstore, es- timates that he loses $7000 a year through shoplifting. The thieves are mostly UNC students, Kuralt says. "Usually they work in twos or threes. One man blocks off the view while another stuffs a book under his coat." They steal anything from 15-cent paperbacks to $20 art manuals, he said. Unconcerned Society Doomed Says Ward A society without a heart, in which the rich are uncon- cerned about the poor, builds only monuments to the dead and is doomed to extinction, economist Barbara Ward told Archbishop Speaks In Convocation Archbishop Hallinan of the .Catholic Archdiocese of Atlanta will speak at Convocation Fe- bruary 9. The topic of the Arch- bishop's speech is "Vatican Council - In Perspective." Since 1962, Bishop Hillinan has been Archbishop of Atlanta. He was Bishop of Charleston from 1958 - 1962. The Archbishop received his Ph.D. degree from Western Re- serve and his B.A. degree from Notre Eane. Archbishop Hallinan was a delegate to the second Vatican Council. He is also a member of the committee formed by the Vatican Council to revise the liturgy of the Catholic Church. By Betsy Anderson an audience at Agnes Scott Jan. 26. Noting that the 18 per cent of the world's population com- prising the white industrial so- ciety of Europe and North America share more than 70 per cent of the world's annual income, she said the disparity could result in the class con- flict Karl Marx predicted. She urged economic assistance and the reduction of tariffs to aid underdeveloped nations raise their standards of living and to help in the "creation of a com- mon human society." Miss Ward compared today's international society with a spaceship with "a very vul- nerable, small crew that has to get along. . .If there's trouble in the galley, 20 hands on the wheel, and someone letting the fuel out of the back, you haven't got a very good spaceship." She said the "crew" of this planet needs to get along too. There is inherent instability in a society when large and po- werful states dwarf smaller ones, Miss Ward commented. She urged large nations, such as the United States, to en- courage the establishment po- werful blocks of smaller states, such as those of Latin Ameri- ca and Africa. The United Nations should be used as an international police force to protect weak areas unable to protect them- selves from the great powers and to hold off conflict between the large powers. She noted with optimism that there is now "a possibility of dialogue within the international community." "We're not talk- ing about different principles anymore," she said. "Both (the Russians and the West) believe in the betterment of mankind and in the progress of history." The burden of responsibility for the condition of the men and women in the poorer, under- d e v e 1 oped countries lies squarely on the shoulders of the giants of world power, Miss Ward said. "We have the wealth. . .We have no alibi," she said. Social Council Presents Ford, Remick Film "Experiment in Terror" is the fast-paced suspense movie Social Council will present Saturday, Rbruary 5. Glenn Ford and Lee Remick star in this classic suspense film. The story takes place in San Francisco where Lee Rem- ick, a young bank teller, is in- timidated into embezzling $100,000. The New York Herald Tribune says this film is "the most ex- citing thing of its kind to come along in many a moon. Every inch of this exceptional sus- pense picture vibrates with ten- sion and moves the story on with a panting exuberance." "Experiment in Terror" was directed by Blake Edwards, whose previous works include "Breakfast at Tiffany's" and "The Pink Panther." Henry Mancini composed the music for this film. It will be shown February 5 in 207 Campbell Hall. Admis- sion will be 35 cents. Davidson Repeals Drinking Rule The student body of Davidson College has repealed a regula- tion of the Student Body Consti- tution against on-campus drink- ing. The rule was repealed by only one vote more than the neces- sary two-thirds majority. According to Student Body President Bill Council, 'The repeal of the drinking rule is not the result of a general desire of the students to consume al- coholic beverages on campus. It is a result of student feeling that the rule is unrealistic and serves no definite end." He further indicated that the faculty of the college was strongly committed to a dry campus and that was a possibil- ity of dorm and room searches authorized by the faculty. "The action taken by the stu- dents," Council said, "re- quires that they show a definite responsibility and maturity. If they do act with responsibility, they will be able to maintain a certain amount of jurisdiction." Other rules up for repeal failed to get the necessary ma- jority. A rule against gamb- ling failed by only a few votes.

After I fouled out I was informed that she's a sop- homore. The team thought they would have a better season without me, so I've switched to badminton. I signed up for the singles tournament, most- ly because no one wanted to play doubles with me. I've been prac- ticing all afternoon and meet my first opponent tomorrow. I know you will all be as disappointed as I was to learn that I wasn't chosen SILHOUET- TE beauty. The shock was soon forgotten, however, in the fun of the dance. I had a really neat time. As a matter of fact, the entire weekend was fantas- tic. Not wanting to waste my two- dance ticket, I invited Alexander Pope for Friday night. You know it had to be a great dance for me to have a good time with him. The band was wild-John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Or was that Fido? Seriously, I had a terrific time. I'm still sore from dan- cing. But Friday was only the beginning. It's only fair to tell you (especially since you'll get the bill next week) that I bought a new dress. It's a lovely light green; it looked very nice with my blue boots. Robin got me a sweet little corsage. Bib lettuce, I believe it was. At least it went well with my dress. Everything went beautifully at the dance. It was truly a perfect evening. How- ever, I can sympathize with that Greek who advised not to call a man happy until his life is completely over. We were going downtown, and we were so excited about round- ing out our evening at the Top of the Mart. The weather was miserable. The parking lot back of the Mart has to be the coldest spot in Atlanta. The wind was whipping about in eight different directions. We finally made it to the lobby and were just begin- ning to warm up when the night- watchman gave us the news. They closed early because no one was there. We struggled back through the blizzard to the car and Robin, wonder that he is, turned the key to unlock the door. Snap I Yes, Mom, the key broke off in the frozen lock. Well, Robin mastered the situation beauti- fully. He got a cab in record time and I could hardly wait to warm up. There was a small problem though. Would you be- lieve no heat in the taxi? At least I had a good time comparing experiences with the girls in the dorm afterward. And that night will remain one of the year's outstanding me- mories. Cassandra had an unusual weekend, too. Her date had to come from New York. I haven't yet gotten a complete list of all the means of transportation he employed, but I have an idea that at least half of the way he came by dog sled. Yes, on 1-85. He was looking forward to a weekend in the sunny South, but by the time he left Sunday he was anticipating his return to the sunny North. I don't blame him. It was up to 15 degrees when he left Friday night. Love. Many Teaching Posts Available Overseas THE MAGIC PUPPETRY of Peter Arnott thrilled Scott students this last week as he presented "Dr. Faustus"; here he examines two of the puppets used in the play. Harvard Appoints First Woman Editor CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (CPS) A medium-sized blonde coed from Radcliffe has been elected the first female editor of the Harvard Crimson , and news stories around the nation hailed it a "major victory for femi- nism." The post goes to 19-year-old Linda McVeigh, an honors major in American History and literature. She will become managing editor in February, and thus is second only to the Crimson president in the news- paper's leadership. She will be responsible for a news staff of about 30, about a third of them women. The job is, according to Crimson staf- fers, the hardest, most mascu- line post on the paper. Andrew Beyer, the Qri;nsoji sports editor, was asked by reporters if he had found it dif- ficult to vote for a woman. "Not Linda," was his reply; "she's tough." Harrison Young, a drama critic, said, 'There's more to her than just being tough. She's brave 0 You wouldn't mind being in a resistance movement with her." The only problem Linda sees involves her social life. Her dates, she said, are generally with Q^jiis.qji men. "After Saturday night, I have to be boss on Monday morning," she said. "That might be sort of touchy." Criticism has erupted from the Yale Daily. &ffii which loses all composure every time a female wends her way into a Yale dining hall. 1 'Her appointment is just ano- ther part of the feminine con- spiracy to end the male sex," John Rothchild, the new manag- ing editor of the New s, declar- ed. Rothchild has challenged Linda to a game of jacks, rea- soning that "this would be her only weak point. If I challenged her in wrestling or drinking, she would probably beat me." Miss McVeigh has agreed to Council Picks Committee Rep Council has named the members of the steering com- mittee for the gift to Agnes Scott in memeory of Dr. Mc- Cain. Students on the committee include chairman Jan Gaskell, Mary Brown, Mary Chapman, Mary Lamar, Betsy Anderson, and Jane McCurdy. Administrative members of the committee include Dr. Al- ston, Miss Scandrett, Dean Kline, Dr. McNair, Miss Wil- bum, and Miss Ann Worthy Johnson. the challenge and has also said she would compete with Roth- child in tennis, headline writ- ing or news writing. "You see," Rothchild com- mented, "she's already trying to usurp my role again." Agnes Scott students can get teaching jobs not only here in Georgia and in the United Sta- tes, but also in interesting and unusual schools all over the world. Mrs. Stack has information in her office concerning teach- ing and administrative opportu- nities in schools all over the world. One of the most exci- ting ones to her is the Inter- national Schools Service. It is an independent, non- profit agency providing profes- sional educational services to approximately 200 schools in Asia, Africa, Europe, and La- tin America. Most of these schools are sponsored by pa- rent groups and international communities. Others are spon- sored by international industry and by church organizations. International Schools Service has facilities for about 26,000 U.S. children and 23,000 stu- dents of other nationalities. The parents of the students from the U.S. serve international pro- grams of diplomacy, technical aid or industry. JUDICIAL'S LONG BLACK robes in the gym?

Scott Girls Evaluate For Chairman Boney Do college students have any voice in the affairs of the church? Dr. Mary L. Boney would say YESI At her request ten Agnes Scott students have been reading and evaluating the Presbyterian .&ury-.e.y. Dr. Boney was elected last June as chairman of the Board of Directors for the Survey, the official publication of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. She thus has the distinction of being the first woman to serve as head of one of the Church's major boards. The ten Scotties selected are Susan Aikman, Betsy Anderson, Mary Brown, Margaret Cal- houn, Jan Gaskell, Jane Mc- Curdy, Adelia McNair, Portia Morrison, Wendy Williams and Grace Winn. These girls ex- amined the magazine from se- veral aspects, including ap- proach, content, and layout. They presented their com- ments to the Board and Staff of the Sury.e.y at its semi- annual meeting which was held on campus last Thursday and Friday. Grace Winn said, "One big suggestion was for more ar- ticles on contemporary theo- logv." Dr. Boney stated that she was "quite proud of the job they did, for they were informed and articulate. The Board and the Staff were deeply impressed with the thoughtful work the students had put into their eva- luations." The Scott girls did their cri- tiques with a view toward ap- pealing to all age groups, not only college students. As Dr. Boney explained, the Survey, "tries to promote and encour- age the Christian life by speak- ing to people where they are." Mary Brown was especially delighted that "effortless dia- logue was achieved between the students and the adult leaders of the church. It made us aware of the Church's attempt to con- front contemporary concerns... and to emphasize the impact of Christianity in the world." Dr. Boney revealed this ex- citing coming attraction: "With the help of Carrington Wilson, a photograph of an Agnes Scott student at work in the Lena studios will appear on the cover of the April issue of the Sur- ve_y." by Susan Aikman Beginning today and lasting until Sunday there will be many smiling sophomores at Agnes Scott. For tonight at 7 o'clock marks the official opening of the ninth annual Sophomore- Pa- rents' Weekend. The original suggestion for Sophomore Parents' Weekend came from Dr. McNair in 1957. He and I>. Alston took the idea to the faculty who approved the appointing of a committee to investigate the prospects of having such a weekend. The chairman of this comm ittee was Miss Mildred Mell, who became chairman of the weekend after it was officially approved. The first Sophomore Parents' Weekend was held in February 1958. The class of 1960 was the first to have the weekend. Eve Purdom, president of the class, was the first student committee chairman of the weekend. Miss Mell was faculty chair- man until her retirement in 1960, when Miss Gray succeed- ed her for four years. The SEE SCHEDULE PAGE THREE chairman now is Mrs. Young The faculty chairmanship now rotates every three years. Miss Mell says that the first ye ar was very successful. "The form se t up then is still fol- lowed. The most popular part of the weekend for the parents right from the start has been attending classe s." Miss Mell remembers one February when thexe was a terrific storm with ice and snow. "We had to put down ashes to keep people from slipping down, but they came on any- way." She says that the atten- dance at the' wee kend had grown every year.

On February 14, at 8:15 p.m. the Juilliard String Quartet will give a concert in Presser Hall. They will play Quartet in E. Major, opus 54, number 3 by Haydn, Quartet in F Minor, opus 95 by Beethoven and the Fifth Quartet(l934) by Bartok. Robert Mann is the Quar- tet's first violinist, second vio- linst, Isidore Cohen, will be re- placed for this concert by Earl Corlyss. Raphael Hillyer will play the viola and Claus Adam the cello. Library Of Congress The group was established in 1946 by William Schuman as the Quartet-in-Residence of the Juilliard School of Music in New York, and was appointed Quartet-in-Residence of the Li- brary of Congress in Washing- ton. This honor entails their use of the Stradivarius instruments willed to the people of the Unit- ed States by Mrs. Gertrude Clark Whittall in 1936. In 1961 the Juilliards became the first American string quar- tet to visit the Soviet Union. "Magnificent harmony and purity of sound and deep pene- tration into the conceptions of the composers," commented the music critic of the Tass News Agency. Under the auspices of ANTA and the State Department, they have presented 35 concerts in eleven Far-Eastern countries. Ripe Mangoes In Laos, tanks rumbled through the streets while they performed. "Yet," says cellist Claus Adam, "the main danger was from ripe mangoes falling from trees in the open air con- cert hall. We were worried not so much about ourselves as about direct hits on our pre- cious instruments!" European tours have taken the Juilliard String Quartet all over the continent, this side and beyond the Iron Curtain. "In Hungary, for instance," says Raphcal Hillyer, "the people told us that we had accomplish- ed more in one night than diplo- mats had done in two years."

These sentiments have- been expressed in retrospect by the mothers of two of last years' sophomores. Mrs. Tom C. !Vn- lanel, mother of Penny Penland, who was vice-preside nt of the class last year says that with Sophomore' Parents' Weekend she' "gained an insight into cam- pus life." She feels that it is a fine- opportunity for parents to get acquainted with the faculty. Even though the Penlands live- near by, they had not seen e very nook and corne r of the school. Mrs. Penland describes it as a very "pleasant weekend." Mrs. Trawick Stubbs, mother of Kathey Stubbs, and herself an alumna of Agne-s Scott, said that Sophomore Parents' Week- end was one of the grandest weekends she ever had and that she had never had so much fun. She enjoyed seeing "how dif- ferent classes are from when I was there." In Kathey's philosophy class she was amazed at how well the girls responded to a "different language." She- also remembers very vividly Dr. Buttrick's cha- pel spe ech. "I go back into the flavor of learning, challenge, and knowledge." Mrs. Stubbs also enjoyed meeting the parents of the othe r girls. She especially enjoyed the luncheon and Dr. Alston's address. "I got a close feel of college- life today." To her the "big point was the atmos- phere and quality of the teach- ing and the spiritual and cul- tural atmosphere." Sophomore Parents' Week- end this year again promises to be the high spot in winter quarter both for the parents and for the students. Some features this year include Dr. Tumblin's Saturday chapel on "On Doing Something Shocking," the tours of the Fine Arts Building ar- ranged by Arts Council, and rcc^ ptions in Winship. MEMBERS OF THE JUILLIARD String Quartet, which will perform here February 14, are (L to K) violinist Robert Mann, violinist Isidore Cohen i, cellist Claus Adam, and violinist Raphael Hillyer.

Last October Mr. Rogers conducted a survey which showed that the present system is being over-used. At first the plan was to allow each girl to have her own line installed in her room. This line would have to be removed at the end of the school year, however, and the bi-annual damage to the walls simply would not be economically feasible. Rep. Council and Mr. Rogers have therefore recommended that a telephone be permanently installed in every room, to be used or not. There would probably be a master control in the basement, and if a girl wanted to use her phone, it would be connected to a main system. The bills would come to her and would be about $7 a month. This recommendation will be placed before the administration for action the next time it meets. Planning all this required much time and numerous conferences with Miss Scandrett and Mr. Rogers, whose calendars are both notoriously tightly filled. The PROFILE thinks action has been remarkably swift and fruitful. Congratulations. Critics Analyze "Milk In Icebox" Following the premiere per- formance of "There's Some Milk in the Icebox" by Bonnie Jo Henderson, a group of At- lanta critics and writers dis- cussed the play. Mrs. June Yungblut moderat- ed the panel composed of Bar- bara Halpern, writer with the Academy Theatre; Pat Robert, A tlanta Magazine drama critic; Charles Shackleford, local playwright; and Guy Waldron, writer with WSB-TY. The discussion began with Mrs. Halpern's comment on the humor of the play. She had not seen anything funny in the manu- script, yet the performance brought out amusing lines. Mr. Waldron, who had not read the play, agreed thatsomr lines were funny, but he felt it was "gallows humor," "You laughed as a relief," he said, "and that need shows the strength of the play." "I was most impressed with the playwright's awareness of the grotesque and the pathetic," commented Miss Robert. "In the play there is so much strangeness that is part of the grotesque and we laughed at the strangeness." Changing the direction of the talk, Mr. Shackleford said he believed Bonnie Jo tried "to encompass too many different things." He felt she imposed upon her characters too many profound statements that they would not make naturally. There was an ensuing discus- sion over the point of realism. Mr. Waldron said that as he had not expected a realistc play, the profundity did not seem imposed. Mrs. Halpern, however, felt that if the play was to be un- realistic "it was not unreal- istic enough." E co no my Mr. Shackleford pointed out a lack of economy in the son's entrance. He suggested leav- ing out the son and pursuing further Dolly's great fear of his physical presence. Mr. Waldron also questioned the validity of leaving so unclear the reason for Dolly's terror. "You left it to my imagina- tion," he remarked, "and everything I thought of came out of early Tennessee Williams." The author admitted that he was close. Despite their critical com- ments and difference ideas among members of the panel, majority opinion was with Mr. Waldron that the play is "brilliant for a first effort." Feature EdltWrr .

Editorial Study Manager, Employees Give Comments On Scott Laundry Editor's note: Felicia Guest, Ann Roberts, and Justice Wai- drop visited the Agnes Scott laundry plant this week and talk- ed with the manager and with some of the employees. Their findings and opinions are re- ported in the following article.) Thirteen people, 11 women and two men, work in the Agnes Scott laundry, which is located next door to the steam plant. The manager of the plant is Mr. Copeland, who has been with Scott for four years. Our laundry articles and all the dining hall linen are marked, sorted, washed, dried, and iron- ed in one large' room. The employees come on duty at 7:30 in the morning and leave in the afternoon at 3:45. They are off duty Thursday afternoon and Saturday after- noon, Mr. Copeland says. The' employees have a 30 minute break for lunch. They bring their own lunches and eat at a long table which is in the same THESE TWO EMPLOYEES operate the large press which irons sheets and flat work. The plant also handles all the flat work for the Scott dining hall. room with the washing machines and presses. There is a coke machine in the room, and a small table with salt, pepper, sugar, ketchup, etc. Most of the laundry's equip- ment is not new, but it is in the process of being modernized. Manager Copeland reports that Mr. Rogers bought one new washing machine this fall, and plans to buy another one next fall. He says also that three or four new pneumatic presses will make the ironing of starched articles quicker and easier. He adds that all the equip- ment is "inpretty good shape." We found that ventilation is the plant is not good. The win- dows are very high, and we saw only one window fan and one large floor fan in the room. The air is wet and hot. When asked about the heat, one employee said that "it is especially hot in the spring." We asked Mr. Copeland if he ever got complaints about the hours or the working condi- tions. He replied that he hears very few complaints, and that his employees "hardly ever leave." PNEUMATIC PRESSES ARE used in the Scott laundry to press the starched articles. This type of press is currently being updated at the school laundry plant. He says that in the four years he has been with Agnes Scott "not over four employees have left." But he adds that when workers do leave "you can't get another right off, you have to find somebody." Salaries for the workers are on a graduated scale, based on seniority, Copeland says. We talked to one young wo- man who has worked at Scott for three years. Her usual job is sorting laundry articles as they come in, but this week she is working with the large press which irons sheets and other flat work. She says that she earns "$27 a week before deductions. "This means that she takes home a little more than $23 each week. The young woman adds that even though she has worked here for three years, some who have worked here for only six months earn as much as she does. Her estimate of the salary of the highest paid employee is "about $33 a week." She says, "with the cost of living what it is, we could cer- tainly do with more money." She told us that in general, even though it is hot in the spring, otherwise working con- ditions "aren't too bad." She says that one advantage of the work is that "the hours are- good." MR. COPELAND, LAUNDRY MANAGER, washing machine bought last fall. stands by the new Students Affirm Affirmation Movement To the editor: In answer to some statements made and questions raised in a recent letter concerning Af- firmation: Vietnam, we would like to make the following ex- planations: 1. One of the main purposes of Affirmation: Vietnam is to lend morale and support to the 200,000 American men in Viet- nam. If this is not unquestion- ably affirmative and humani- tarian, we would like to know what is. 2. There seems to be a pre- valent feeling of fear in the world today among all types of people, fear at becoming in- volved in anything. We think that it is better for students- to become committed to some- thing like Affirmation: Vietnam, when and if they firmly believe in it, rather than do nothing about their beliefs. This indifferent manner re- minds one of 35 people who stood by while a woman was stabbed to death on a main Street in New York. We are not affirming for the sake of affirming. By sacrificing study time to work in such a movement, no student is failing out of school for the sake of failing. Af- firmation: Vietnam has a de- finite, deep purpose, which cri- ticism cannot counter. 3. Anyone who has studied the history of American commit- ment in Vietnam knows that we are providing more than military assistance. We are also helping with the food pro- blem, with agricultural deve- lopment, industrialization, and with health service in Viet- nam. This is standard foreign policy. THE PROFILE I'l HIU'AKV in, |%<> PAGE 3 " Airline As for considering "any of the Viet Cong as legitimate South Vietnamese," how can we consider them when their government has not even been recognized? We are recogniz- ing the continuation of the go- vernment set up in 1954 by the free world and which is still aligned with the free world. Because the Viet Cong ulti- mately have no legal right to be in South Vietnam, how can their government be considered le- gitimate? 4. Whether we like it or not, the United States is now com- mited militarily to South Viet- nam. Unless this country wishes to start breaking promises to ot- her parts of the world, we have got to fulfill this commitment. Affirmation: Vietnam stands for government as opposed to the chaos which would result if we started violating previous treaties. This puts "govern- ment" on a higher scale where it belongs with this movement. 5. According to the United States Constitution, the person delegated powers of determin- ing foreign policy is the Presi- dent. If there is a declaration of war, Congress must approve it. There has been none, there- fore, the foreign policy is in the hands of the executive de- partment of the government. 6. This is a time of crisis for the U.S.: we have men abroad fighting for an Ideal which stu- dents at home refuse to affirm, a situation which demands ac- tion on the part of those who are not afraid. The number of endorsees from "Billy Graham to Madi- son Avenue" docs not show con- formity but necessity. With an organization composed of De- mocrats, Republicans, Li- berals, Conservatives, and Mo- derates, you do not have con- formity, but agreement more basic than party lines. In Affirmation: Vietnam we are not conforming,; we arc confirming. This is one place- where you can confirm and pro- claim simply, "I'm proud to be an American citizen."

Pritchett's turned out to be a good selection, and the spe- cial touches like decorations and free cokes were added at- tractions that appealed to the girls and their dates - respec- tively! The innovation of the Friday night party was a good idea and was especially appreciated by the out-of-town dates. Social Council and A.A. must have taken to heart the "sug- gestions" from last year, be- cause they really cams up with a marvelous weekend - except for the weather. Now I'm look- ing forward to the spring fes- tivities. . . Penny Penland History Of Publications Board Dear Editor: So much discussion has arisen because of the establish- ment of a publications board that a look at the history of resolution RC-6 seems advisa- ble. RC-6 was first mentioned in Representative Council on Nov- ember 16. It was introduced by Felicia Guest, editor of THE PROFILE; Beverly Allen, edi- tor of THE SILHOUETTE; and Bonnie Jo Henderson editor of AURORA. At that time they discussed the possibilities of changing procedure concerning publica- tions. At another meeting of Rep. Council during fall quarter, the idea was again brought up. Questions were asked and it was decided that the idea should be reformulated and presented again. On January 18 Beverly Allen presented RC-6, Resolution Re- garding the Establishment of a Publications Board. At this time the resolution had not been printed. If it had been, much of the later confusion might have been cleared up, according to Debbie Rosen, president of Student Go- vernm ent. But the problems seemed to iron out and a roll call vote was taken. There was much sup- port for the resolution. There were 26 votes for, 3 against, and 3 people were absent. The members who voted against the resolution were LeC Cfcrvis, Linda Lou Colvard, and Mary Brown. The Resolution was printed and posted. The procedure for adopting a resolution is to post it, wait two weeks, and then vote on it. There was ample time and op- portunity in these two weeks for students to find out about RC-6 It was mentioned in Rep. Coun- cil reports, and posted on the bulletin board. In student meeting on Janu- ary 27 Debbie Rosen announc- ed that RC-6 would be voted on the following Thursday. She also gave instructions for pro- c^dure on proposing an amend- ment to the resolution. In the next meeting the re- solution was read in its en- tirety. Debbie then, following the correct parliamentary pro- cedure, called for a "speaker for" the resolution. As pre- senter of RC-6, Beverly Allen spoke. Then a "speaker against" was called for. Linda Lou Col- vard at that time presented an amendment providing for popu- lar election of the editor of THE PROFILE. There were several queries made. A query is a question of fact that has precedence over all other statements and is di- rected to someone qualified to answer it. Beverly Allen and Bonnie Jo Henderson respond- ed to these queries. In deference to time, the chair asked for either a mo- tion for postponement or for the previous question. The latter being called for, a vote was taken concerning the a- mendment. There were nearly two times as many for as op- posed. Then a vote was taken for the resolution as amended. It received overwhelming sup- port, and meeting was adjourn- ed. After the meeting Debbie Ro- sen made the statement that "it was felt by the chair that a great mail) stylistic changes needed to be made in the re- solution as amended." She felt that it was "more implicit than explicit." She therefore appointed a committee headed by Linda Lou Colvard and Beverly Allen to stylize what was passed. This was read to Rep. Council Tues- day and posted. It has gone into the Constitution and elections will proci de accordingly. Susan Aikman Thanks For Student Cooperation Dear Editor: The SILHOUETTE staff ap- preciates all the co-operation that the organizations have giv- en us this week with our sched- uled and rescheduled club pic- tures. We were so sorry that the plans had to be changed so many times, but unexpected delays and Mr. Bucher's program nec- essitated the arrangements. We hope that our use of more informal and more sophisticat- ed shots will tell the purposes and projects of your club more effectively this year.

PAGE 4 FEBRUARY 10, 1966 m THE PROFILE "AFFIRMATION: VIETNAM'S" OPINION POLL comes to the office of Dr. Alston; watching him sign the poll are "Affir- mation: Vietnam" workers Sarah Uzzell (right), Tina Bender (center), and Monteze Snyder. A:V Receives State, Congressional Support In the past few weeks both na- tional and state leaders have en- dorsed "Affirmation: Vietnam." The last two issues of the Congressional Record have in- cluded speeches supporting this movement. On one occasion eight of Georgia's 10 Representatives praised "Affirmation: Viet- nam", and Rep. Bo Calloway spoke for thirty minutes on this movement. Outside of Congress "Affir- mation: Vietnam" has been on four television shows in this area, plus two nationwide t.v. programs including "The Today Show." There has also been support on the state level. The No 1 resolution passed by this year's session of the Georgia legisla- ture was a unanimous endorse- ment of "Affirmation: Viet- nam." Businessmen, mayors, and college and high school students throughout the state have also supported this movement. Some towns, such as Griffin and var- ious Atlanta suburbs, have spon- sored Vietnam days and public opinion polls. 75 F rom Scott At Agnes Scott over 75 girls have worked at the "Affir- mation: Vietnam" headquarters at Emory University. Accord- ing to Sarah Uzzell, an Agnes Scott leader in the Affirma- tion movement, "Agnes Scott girls were solely responsible for the successful operation of "Affirmation: Vietnam" head- quarters." During the past two weeks Agnes Scott girls have been at the headquarters from 9 a.m. until 1 a.m. Sarah said that the Speaker's Bureau has done equally well. This includes Agnes Scott stu- dents Clair Allen, Carol Blessing, Louise Hess. Susan Landrum, Debbie Rosen, Mon- teze Snyder, and Sarah Uzzell. The girls have made over 200 speeches to civic clubs and high school audiences since the first week in January. Another function of Agnes Scott students has been the coordination of public opinion polls. Freshman Tina Bender, helping on a high school com- mittee, coordinated the final two weekend drives of a public opinion poll covering shopping centers and major street cor- ners downtown. The results of this poll in- dicate that 95 per cent of the population support the United States' policy in Vietnam. Another freshman, Nancy Still, coordinated signature col- lecting for public opinion polls in DeKalb County. Contacting every beauty par- lor in downtown Atlanta was the job of Ann Fisher. Other Scott students working at the head- quarters were Monteze Snyder, Dean Rusk chairman of transportation; Lane Jennings, chairman of ad- vertising; and Lynn Cook, who was in charge of contacting the mayors of Georgia cities. Sarah remarked that these people "not only have had the chance to work and throw them- selves into a project, but every- body knows a lot more about that section of the world." She emphasized the hard work and fast pace that is kept at the Affirmation headquarters. In fact, one worker told her recently that the pace at the headquarters was so fast her typing increased 20 words per minute. Profile news front Rusk, Ambassadors Speak At "Affirmation" Rally The climax of the current "Affirmation: Vietnam" movement will be a gigantic rally in the new Atlanta Stadium Saturday, Febru- ary 12. Secretary of State Dean Rusk who is a native of Georgia will be the keynote speaker of the rally. Georgia Governor Carl Sanders and the two Georgia senators, Richard B. Russell and Herman Talmadge will also participate. All 10 of the Georgia Congressmen will attend. Anita Bryant will be a special guest at the rally. Miss Bryant has recently returned from Vietnam where she traveled with the Bob Hope USO troupe entertaining American soldiers. Projected plans for the rally include co- median Bob Hope as the master of cere- monies. "Bob Hope has received the affirmation program with more enthusiasm and more willingness to help than any other national figure," said Sarah Uzzell, Agnes Scott stu- dent and leader in the local "Affirmation" program. Ten or more foreign ambassadors are ex- pected. They will be the ambassadors to the United States and the United Nations from Japan, Malaysia, Thailand, South Korea, and South Vietnam. In order to extend a personal invitation to these ambassadors two Georgia college stu- dents recently traveled to their embassies. They dined with the ambassadors in true Ori- ental fashion, sitting on the floor and eating with chopsticks. The high point of the rally will be the More Students Plan Weddings Carol Ann Denton will marry Jim Ayres, a Chi Psi at Tech, in mid-June. He is presently working for Georgia Power Company. presentation of the results of the recent pub- lic opinion poll conducted by local high school and college students to the ambassador from South Vietnam. The ambassador will announce this re- newed affirmation to his people in South Vietnam. Supporters of "Affirmation: Vietnam" from all over Georgia will be in attendence. The mayors of at least 10 prominent Geor- gia cities plan to be there. Three chartered trains, from Savannah, Augusta and the University of Georgia at Athens, are bringing in participants. There will also be motorcades from most of the major Georgia cities and the Atlanta high schools. Press coverage of the rally will be pro- vided by the major news media. In fact, if the stadium is filled, it will be featured on the cover of LjLie magazine the following: week.- Th rally will also be broadcast over all three major television networks. However, television coverage will be blacked out in the Atlanta area; the rally will be broadcast on local radio. There is ample transportation available for Agnes Scott students. Buses will leave from Scott at 12:30 Saturday, February 12. The round-trip fare is 75 cents. There will also be shuttle buses from downtown Atlanta and Rich's. Entertainment by high school bands and choruses including the Emory University chorus will be featured from noon till 2 p.m. when the rally begins. Sarah Uzzell stresses that this is the biggest rally of its kind originated, planned, and executed by students. "Every student in Georgia ought to be there." Junior Jaunt Aids Vietnam Refugees Agnes Scott's traditional Jun- ior Jaunt will be held February 23, through Saturday February 26. Junior Jaunt is an annual cha- rity project sponsored by the junior class. A slave sale Wed- nesday night will begin the pro- gram. Thursday, "Suppressed Desires Day", the slaves, pro- fessors and students, will "serve" their "masters", and Friday the different classes will hold their separate pro- jects. All the proceeds from the projects will go to charity. The charity this year will be in the form of relief to re- fugees in Vietnam. The money will be used through the Church World Service and the Division of Overseas Ministers of the National Council of Churches. This is an emergency program to raise a minimjm of $250, 000. According to Marsha Daven- port, in charge of the chari- ties this year, the contribu- tions will go to the "immediate relief of human suffering." Marsha says the project is in- terdenominational, the money will not be used to promote the war effort, but to aid women, children, and the infirm, "who have been caught in the midst of the war for over twenty years." As of January 1, 1966, one million refugees were in need of food, clothing, and shelter. The average refugee exists on six cents per day. In many provinces with a population of over 300,000, there are no doc- tors at all. The money raised will cover a wide variety of expenses. It will send doctors, nurses, so- cial workers, child care ex- perts, agronomists, and other specialists to refugee camps, and will also make available food and medicines. One dollar will provide three hundred pounds of food or a quantity of medicines. mm WORK IN THE AFFIRMATION: VIETNAM officers in Wesley Hall at Emory includes, among many other things, stencil- ing; here Betty Anne Boyd, (left) Patrice Cragg and Kathleen Pease oversee a letter to be stenciled out this week.

Well C.C. herself came to vi- sit me last week. She had a little trouble finding my room. Mr. Rogers found her in the hall and arrested her for being an alien. After I bailed her out in the D.O. we sat down to catch up on things. A few boys came through, though, and she immediately had ten dates. Ca- milla's really changed, Mom. As a matter of fact, she is no longer chaste, cringing, cloddy Camilla; she is now chawhmhing, curvaceous, co- ed Cordelia. The university has wrought quite a change in her. She's even sweetheart of Sig- ma Epsilon Chi. She told me about how she goes out every night and I ask- ed her how she could find time to study. She says it's a little rough. She's taking table-set- ting and history of Latvian edu- cation, but her real trouble is with English. They've been reading the short storiesinMc- Call's. For their paper they had to read several books by one author, so she concentra- ted on the Hardy Boys. She must do all right; she made Dean's List last quarter. She was busy with dates all weekend, so I didn't have to entertain her. I arranged my own adventures with two of my junior pals Linda Marks and Poppy Wilson. We all went tun- nelling under the campus. I was thoroughly equipped with pith helmet, cyanide death pill, ci- garette-lighter blow torch, and my trusty U.N.C.L.E. gun. We went under the Library, Buttrick; between Main and Re- bekah; from the steam plant to the gym. Then we decided to find new worlds to conquer. We went under Inman where two tunnels diverged in a yel- low basement and we took the one not there. There is now a new under- ground passage to Hopkins. It comes up in the living room, right by the hostess desk. It was my first trip to Hopkins and, contrary to all reports, it's really a neat place. I finally did get to visit some with Cordelia at the Pe- ter, Paul, and Mary Concert. Of course, we were sitting in the middle of a group of boys and you can guess what hap- pened. Thanks for your note remind- ing me to take care of myself. It may have come too late. Right after Cordelia left, I plunged myself back into my studies and, as usual, drown- ed. 1 have resolved to stay up every night until my work is done. I haven't been to bed since Sunday and I'm still behind. Remember I signed up for the badminton tournament? Well, I was disqualified for hit- ting 30 shuttlecocks into the rafters. I've been keeping fit with the Royal Canadian Air Force exercises. Sheila Ter- rill recommends them highly. Love, Ramona Hadley School Names Gearreald Best Student Most people would settle for- doing good academic work at Agnes Scott. But Karen Gear- reald has been "Moonlighting" in the summer and has done so well she has been named "Stu- dent of the Year" by the Hadley School for the Blind. She will be flown in May to the annual meet- ing of the board of directors to receive the award. Karen was selected from some 2,000 students. A decid- ing factor was probably the work she did in German last summer, when she completed the equi- valent of a whole year of college work. Acting both as a student a no employee, Karen also planned two English courses for the school. She was provided a text for which she wrote the exams and study guides, plus an in- troduction on how to study the text. A photographer is on cam- pus this week, taking pictures of the "Student of the Year" for the school's annual report in which Karen is being featur- ed. This report is distributed to contributors of the non-pro- fit organization. The article will probably re- cognize Karen as almost a tra- dition of the Hadley School, where she has taken courses "on and off" since 1956, some during the regular school term, some during summers. An English major, Karen has a special interest in languages, and has taken correspondence courses in Spanish, German, and some extra English courses. Karen is also a Latin and French student, and , like- most language students, has the most trouble with idioms and irregular verbs. At Hadley School she acted as substitute Latin teacher last summer. "I most enjoyed getting to know my students," she recalls. Although correspondence courses cannot offer direct stu- dent - professor contact, the school encourages the pro- fessors to get to know their students. "And people reveal themselves amazingly through letters," Karen states. She had a variety of students, ranging from a West Indian green grocer, to a civil ser- vice worker from Lngland to a Puerto Rican. When asked whe- ther she was a "hard" or an "easy" grader, Karen repli- ed," I think I was pretty strict." This summer Karen will work for Hadley School again, plann- ing courses for junior high Eng- lish students. If "things go well' this summer, Karen may try to work part time while in graduate school and perhaps become a full time employee after that.

"Milk" Successful; Performance Good by Ann Roberts "War simply objectifies, on a far grander scale, the war between individuals. Why not stage this personal cold war so that the absurdity of war on any level becomes more apparent," comments Bonnie Jo Henderson on her motivation for 'There's Some Milk in the Icebox." She has certainly fulfilled her goal in the creation of the play. The battle between Dolly and Walter Roemer over the trivial fact of the milk is fun- damental and believably - written. Dolly lives in hard work and fear of her stepson fear that is really too passionate. She is a realist who lives in the world and she refuses to sym- pathize or communicate deep- ly with her husband. She is disgusted with him and she is tired of supporting him, for she is thereby acting the man's, not the woman's, role, in the family. Preserves She sums up her social the- ory, saying that a man should work and fill his pockets with money and his wife should fill jars with perserves. The re- mark is typically Henderson in its crisp profundity and na- tural growth from the situa- tion and characters. Dolly's husband Walter is a man who thinks that he thinks; he at least pretends to be me- ditative. He does not openly feel resentment of his inabi- lity to be a husband, but it seems to temper his attitude. Basically, however, he is a co- ward who once ran from war and now runs from responsi- bility; he hides behind his ill- ness, real or imagined. At bottom, Dolly and Walter are entirely different people. Their natures are summed up in their reactions to the red and white candy striper's uni- form. "Like Christmas and Va- lentine's Day rolled into one," cries Dolly. To Walter it looks like flesh and blood. His memory of war's horror and his cowardice in the face of it have destroyed him and therefore poisoned Dolly's natural joy. They are forced to live artificially, with reversed roles. Objecli fixation Hubert is an excellent touch, the ever-present, dumb, dull objectification of their sense- less existence. The entrance of Walter's son I'aul is pro- bably unnecessary. His drunk Singing of "I Need Thee Every Hour" is appropriate, but his appearance at Walter's rooms is forced. Not only has it been stressed that "he never comes up- stairs," but everything tie says is implicit in all that goes be- fore. Furthermore, considering the buildup of fear in Dolly's anticipation of his return, she needs to react here much more violently than she does, or can. Elijah the icemen is a nice character, demonstrating that one can be content in the midst of such drabness. He is left with only his broken feet, yet he finds solace with his friend, Mockingbird the cat. Francis Benjamin was delightful in the role. And here we come to the performance itself. M u mo r Bud Griffin was good as the Delivery Boy, enlivening the hu- mor that always sparks Bonnie Jo's work. Libby Potter did a fine job as Sally, who naively asks Walter about "the real war" for her English paper; she never realizes that she stands on the battleground of the real war. Bonnie Jo herself says that before production of the play, Dolly was only a vehicle, who "had to say this, so Walter could say that." In the per- formance, however, the play revolved around Dolly, and all because of Malie Bruton's dy- namic talents. Walter was not weak, but he had to grow stron- ger, as he did, in the course of the action. Both the staging and the set were excellent. All contribut- ed to the laudable production of a very fine play.

Paul Quinn is a Negro church college in Waco, Texas. It has been able to build a new library that will hold 50,000 books, but there are only 14,000 books in it now. Bernard Rapoport, president of the American Income Life Insurance Company, and a trus- tee of the college, says: "It occurred to us, during a recent board meeting, that many of the college students use their books and then don't want to keep some of them, but really can't get what they're worth in selling them back to the book stores, and that perhaps many of these students would like the idea of giving such books to the library at Paul Quinn." Mr. Rapoport said he also thought college bookstores around the state might find it feasible to shop spare quantities of current college-level books those that are still good but perhaps are one year out of date for a particular school. The books may be shipped EX PRESS-COLLECT to: Mrs. De- lores Harris, Librarian, Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas 76704. Hardbound editions would be preferred.

Decatur and North Decatur Dr. John Letson, Superinten- dant of Atlanta public schools, has spoken of West Fulton High School as "the most exciting experiment in education in At- lanta at the present time." Certainly West Fulton has se- veral novel aspects. It has one of the only integrated school faculties in Atlanta. In the last two years, West Fulton has ex- perienced a wholesale shift from a completely white student body to a predominantly Negro student body, a shift brought about by the school integration policy and by the moving of Ne- groes into the surrounding res- idential area. Fascinating Practice teaching at West Fulton is really fascinating. I have two classes of tenth grade world history, and there is rarely a dull moment. Here for the first time Ne- gro youngsters are learning to pay attention in class. They are learning to discuss opinions in- telligently and are acquiring a larger vocabulary. Hopefully, they are learning better self- discipline and studyhabits. I was somewhat surprised to find that, although most of the students are not poverty - stricken their parents have not yet been able to give them a home environment conducive to learning and self - motivation. No doubt this is because the parents themselves are poorly educated and have just recently reached a middle class standard of living through their own ef- forts. Depressing Odds 1 have found the faculty to be really enthusiastic and dedicat- ed in the face of what often seems depressing odds.

German Students Act Goethe's "Der Urfaust An early version of Goethe's "Faust," the bewitching tale of Faust, who in search of com- plete understanding, makes a pact with the devil, will be pre- sented Wednesday, February 16 in Dana Fine Arts Building. "Der UrFaust" will be pro- duced in German, and an Eng- lish scene-by-scene synopsis will be provided in the program. Samuel Moore Shiver, of the Emory German Department, plays Faust. Georgia Tech stu- dent Hermann Flaschka, seen previously in several campus productions such as "Mask of Angels," plays Mephistopheles, the devil. Blaire-Louise Major will portray Gretchen, with whom Faust falls in love. Frau Marthe will be played by Gail Livingston, and Susan Bergeron, also of Agnes Scott, will play Lieschen. The three remaining roles are played by Emory students; Roger Brown plays Wagner; Laura Boddiford, the student; and Ju- lius Arial, the evil spirit, Bo- ser Geist. Erika M. Shiver, head of the Agnes Scott German Depart- ment, is directing the play. No admission will be charged. The story is familiar: Faust, searching total understanding of all life, makes a pact with Mephistopheles. Through him, Faust meets Gretchen and falls deeply in love with her. Be- cause of his restless spirit, he deserts her after having seduced her. Gretchen bears a child, and in mad despair drowns it. Faust, learning of her fate, tries to rescue her from pri- son. She refuses to go with him, giving herself up to the merci- ful judgment of God. Halt-priw to wdlvyv st ad vats a ad faeulty: thv avaspaper that aea\spapvr pvaptv wad. . .

The time when, if you aren't going on a world cruise this summer or marrying a million- aire, you are probably wonder- ing what you will do to earn enough money to go on that world cruise next year. If you don't have a summer job waiting for you then you'll be happy to hear that Miss lone Murphy and Miss Sylvia Chap- man are now making appoint- ments to talk to students and give them ideas about where to write and who to see. Miss Murphy said that they have been receiving directories listing opportunities for sum- mer jobs. Agnes Scott is on the mailing lists of many agencies which employ summer help. Miss Murphy and Miss Chap- man can give information about different programs which are set up for college students, such as privately owned camps and day camps which are sponsored by the government. Information about paying jobs as well as voluntary is available. Miss Chapman will be avail- able on Monday andTuesday af- ternoons and Miss Murphy at her usual hours. You may sign up for appointments in the voca- tional office. The vocational office has compiled information about the summer jobs held- by Agnes Scott '-Students last year. Miss Murphy said that though this may not be completely accurate, about 25 per cent of the stu- dent body held jobs last sum- mer, some on a voluntary basis, some paid. The salaries rang- ed from $18 to $1025. 'The ability to get a job goes up with class rank," says Miss Murphy. The reason for this is that although industries believe that students should have sum- mer jobs, qualifications get stiffer. There has been an in- crease in available jobs during the past years. There will be 10 per cent more jobs avail- able in 1966, but there will be 16 per cent more student ap- plying for them However, salaries are expected to rise three or four per cent. Miss Murphy added a note of caution. She said that over the country, most organizations re- port that they discard one third of their applications because of carelessness in filling them out, incompleteness, and sloppiness. Olivier's Othello Moving Portrayal "It is the most moving the- atrical experience I have ever had or ever expect to have," says Dr. George P. Hayes of Laurence Olivier's "Othello." "Of course, you can object to individual features," he went on. For instance, Othello, as a Moor, can be black, but he is not a Negro. Olivier emphasiz- ed Negroid traits to "play up to the Negro movement." Also, the Moor is descended from kings, he is looked up to as general of Venice; yet Olivier was barefoot. Nevertheless, Dr. Hayes feels that the play was "made for Olivier" for he was "made for passion." Not a great in- tellect as an actor, he captured both the terror and the pity in Othello. His rage was real; it seemed "to come from the inside." He was an object of terror for Des- demona and for the audience, which is "part of the play's effect." He "has the fire to create that terror." The pity in the play he con- veyed equally well. "How much nobility there was in him, I don't know," says Dr. Hayes. "Perhaps there was not enough of his loving, noble nature." His kind innocence came out, however, when Iago asks if Des- demona has a handkerchief with strawberry design and Othello replies, "I gave her such a one 'twas my first gift." (Ill, iii). "For the first time, the pathos of that line came home to me/- remarks Dr. Hayes. Oli- vier's acting "gave a wonderful new light to that line." As for the others, Iago was "good as far as he went," but one side of his character, that of his intellect, summed up in his line "I am nothing if not critical" (II, i) and all his speculations of the second act were left out. His "sensual suggestion side" was very good, however. His portrayal weakened at the end when he was borne off, cringing and yelling at the threatened torments. This should not be the final action of the powerful man whose strength of character draws our admiration from the first. This is not the man who, though evil, wins our regard in his proud promise "From this time forth I never will speak word." (V, ii). Desdemona did "all right" with the willow song, but, as Dr. Hayes points out, that is one place where Verdi could go beyond Shakespeare with his music. The "Ave Maria" of the opera perfectly caps the scene. Olivier was "faithful to the text." He did not modernize the text, as in "Hamlet" or change the order of events, as in "Ric- hard IIL" The only major om- mission was that of some of Iago's rather important lines. He worked for months on the role, working out each line ex- actly as he wanted. He also lowered his voice from its natural tenor to a rumbling baritone. The play is superior partly because of the time devoted to it. The actor has done the role many times, Therefore, like great actors of the past, he- has "grown into the role and can see now meanings in it." Another factor of superiorty was the careful working out of details. The most vivid was the theme of the rose. Othello first enters smelling a large red rose, having just plucked both it and Desdemona. The rose returns in his last scene speech over the sleeping Desdemona when he says, "When I have pluck'd the rose, I cannot give it vital growth again, It needs much wither: I'll smell it on the tree" (V, ii). Such intricate care and such vitality and ability as Olivier gives the role, make "Othello" a unique, moving experience.

College Ave. Phone 373-9267 Complete Car Service Just Across The Street Students Hold Chapel Debate On Vietnam Last week's Tuesday chapel featured student debate on the United States presence and action in Vietnam. Summaries of the opposing views follow. rro by Claire Allen Historically, legally, and mo- rally, the United States has a commitment to the peoples of South Vietnam. From an his- torical viewpoint, the United States has been involved in the affairs of South Vietnam since 1950 when this country extend- ed diplomatic recognition to South Vietnam's government. In 1951, President Truman sent direct economic assistance to this country at the request of the French nation. When the French were defeated by the North Vietnamese led by Ho Chi Minn in 1954, the United States attended the Geneva con- vention at which the defeated French and the victorious North Vietnamese signed the "Gene- va Accords" which were to end the hostilities between the nor- thern and southern portions of Vietnam. The "Geneva Accords" pro- vided for the country to be di- vided at the seventeenth parallel with neither zone to be used as a basefor aggression against the other. From the very be- ginning, the North Vietnamese broke the treaty by engaging in political and military subver- sion in South Vietnam. I) inn Although Diem, the head of the South Vietnamese government, called for free elections in his country, he refused to join with the North Vietnamese in holding elections because he felt that they had no intention of up- holding their commitment to the "Geneva Accords". Since 1960, the United States has sent military aid to South Viet- nam to aid her people in their struggle against the Communist- led North Vietnamese. Legally, under the terms of the SEA TO treaty signed by the nations of Great Britain, France, Australia, New Zea- land, the Phillipine Republic, Thailand, and Pakistan, the United States may be asked to send aid to any of these nations which requests it. SE iTO Each of the members of SEATO has asked us to aid South Vietnam in her struggle against Communism. The legi- timate government of South Vietnam has repeatedly ask- ed for the aid of the United States in her efforts to re- sist the aggression of the North Vietnamese. South Vietnam has emphasized that she cannot re- sist Communist aggression without our aid. Morally, we have a commit- ment to the peoples of South Subscribe To The PROFILE Name Address Z ip Code Make check to: Agnes Scott PROFILE Through June, $1.75 Send To Betsy O'Daniel Agnes Scott College Decatur. Ga. 30030 Vietnam to honor our word and to help them to build a free, progressive society with- out the domination of either the East or the West. Many South Vietnamese and Americans have given their lives for the cause of a free republic in South Vietnam. The Department of Defense estimates that if we pull out of South Vietnam now, the North Vietnamese Communists will kill 1,000,000 of the South Viet- namese people inretaliationfor their resistance. We cannot af- ford to abandon the free peo- ples of Southeast Asia at a time when they desperately need our help. Con by Linda Lou Colvard If there is something to affirm in U.S. policy in Southeast Asia, it is the democratic principle of a people's right to self-de- termination. This does not mean a kind of self-determination-as long-as-we-like-it policy that our government has followed in the past. We must accept the fact that there are those people for whom a democracy on the American model and the Soviet form of government are equally objec- tionable and unworkable f Their expression of national will must be found in a form of govern- ment distinct from either ideo- logical camp. There are things in our go- vernment's present policy which should be objectionable to persons of whatever politi- cal persuasion. Rather than en- couraging honest debate on foreign policy the government has been increasingly identi- fying dissent with disloyalty. Effects can be seen in an order issued for the immediate re-classification to a 1-A status of students protesting U.S. Vietnamese policy at the Uni- versity of Michigan, the fail- ure of a critical legislator to be seated in the Georgia House, and the jeering in the U.S. Senate of a statesman of such stature as Wayne Morse of Ore- gon. An attitude of public respect and confidence in the govern- ment is not inspired either by repeated press indications of governmental misinformation to the public;the fact, for in- stance, that there was no clear- cut cessation of bombings this past summer, and that there was an opportunity for negotiation during the politically sensitive election period this past au- tumn, which was ignored. When such embarrassing de- tails do come to light the go- vernment might at least pre- serve stature by acknowledging past mistakes rather than plunging its head ostritch-like into the sand and shouting hys- terical invective to critics. Several facts present them- selves as realities which must be dealt with to point the dif- ficult way to a lasting solu- tion. A policy of escalation only invites reciprocal escalation. If we bomb ports in North Viet- nam, we have equally accessi- ble ports which are open to at- tack. ..and thus up the scale of military horror. Peacekeeper The United States may pride itself on being the strongest nation and thus the peacekeeper of the world. But it cannot ignore the fact that nuclear strength is no aid to proficiency in guerilla warfare. Such war- fare is peculiarly well-adapt- ed to the inhabitants of the ter- ritory., and is hostile to foreign combattants on that land. The other and most impor- tant fact essential to any dura- ble peace in Southeast Asia is that the U.S. cannot go it alone. It is primarily an Asian pro- blem and can best be dealt with by an Asia ^organization, SEATO. This would remove the taint of imperialism and ra- cism. It would also place the re- sponsibility for preservation and self-determination of a re- gion squarely where it belongs, with the nations comprising that area. The clearest hope re- mains a policy of collective security for a number of small nations which have good reason to object both to western and Communist intervention. United Nations If SEATO refuses the chal- lenge, the United Nations is the only possible alternative. In a conflict whose repercussions could destroy mankind, the pro- per arbitrating body must be that of the world theater. United States foreign policy must undergo serious and dras- tic revision, and southeast Asia may be the testing ground. We must quit insisting that any nation will choose "our" form of government when it attains the proper degree of enlighten- ment, and until that time we will see to it that it does not swerve from the proper course. Let us rather endeavor with the family of nations to provide a situation conducive to poli- tical self-determination within a country, and then accept the validity of the results.

Comments heard on the way back from the rally: "Something 111 never forget." and "Moving, definitely worth itl" by Susan Ledford Judicial Chairman In a recent study of the current Policy Regarding the Use of Alcoholic Beverages, Judicial Council gained information which we felt should be shared with the campus at large. Because of questions in our own minds and because of questions that had been directed to us by other students, the board asked, with Dr. Alston's help, that Professor Wil- liam Agnor of the Emory Law School advise us on several points of Georgia law which are incorporated within the Agnes Scott policy. Mr. Agnor cited for us the following sec- tion of the Georgia Code: "Any person who knowingly, by himself or another, shall furn- ish or cause to be furnished, or permit any other person in his employ to furnish any minor spirituous or intoxicating or malt liquors, without first ob- taining written authority from the parent or guardian of said minor, shall be guilty of a fel- ony and shall be punished by confinement and labor in the penitentiary for not less than one year or more than five years." It should be noted that while the Georgia Code places the burden of responsibility up- on the server or seller,our policy, under the tenets of the Honor System, places additional responsibility upon the student and minor be- ing served. In reference to permission for minors, Mr. Agnor quoted the following from Judge Bleck- ley's decision in the 1891 Case of Gill vs. State: 'The parent must hold control of the sup- ply, both as to time and quantity, and the written authority must be special... It must be applicable to one occasion only and must be repeated separately for each subsequent occastion." Thus, under this currently acknowledged interpretation, any sort of blanket or form permission, which we had previously consid- ered, would be invalid as it would constitute an illegal delegation of authority from parent to child. Such specific permissions from parents do not need to be seen or approved by any mem- ber of the administrative staff of the college, but should be kept by the individual student as evidence of parental consent. Judicial Council does not seek to merely enforce Georgia Law, but hopes to uilize this knowledge of our greater context in exercising its jurisdiction with respect to stu- dent policies affecting the college.

PAGE 2 FEBRUARY 17, 1966 Soph Comments Parents See 'ReaV Side Of Soph Life by Susan Aikman Sophomore Parents' Weekend was observed this year in its usual festive way. Many inno- vations were observed in mem- bers of the Popeye class beds were made, rooms were clean, smokers became non-smokers, and sophomores studied for class with the idea of active participation. Not only did the sophomores prepare for the weekend in un- usual ways, but several strange behavior patterns were noted among faculty members as well. Mr. Doerp wore a white shirt to class; Mr. Tumblin left his pipe in his office, and Mr. Nel- son was conveniently unavail- able for class. Parents learned much during the classes which they attended. Some perhaps found the answer to questions like, "But Cas- sandra, why did you get a D in fundamental radiology?" These answers came to new- ly enlightened parents in sev- eral ways. After a short time in a dormitory one father was heard to remark, "Now I see why you have to go to the li- brary to study I" Others found that courses just aren't as simple as they sound. Many bewildered moth- ers and fathers realized that Mr. Chang's Bible class is cer- tainly nothing like Sunday School. Popeye parents showed their interest in the school by the questions asked at the Saturday luncheon. These questions by the way were handed in anony- mously prior to the luncheon. The weather did not dampen the spirits as sophomores and their parents arrived at the Al- stons' reception Saturday af- ternoon. What's a little water to some- one like Popeye? The only thing really dampened was the Al- stons' rug. This reception was very ef- ficient but also very personal. After being met by Mrs. Young, guests proceded to the coat room where the Pepes and Miss Ripy collected coats and gave out hat checks. Dr. McNair then guided guests to the reception line made up of Dean Kline and the Alstons, who stopped to talk to each person coming down the line. The food was served by members of the Dean's staff. Sophomore Parents' Week- end again proved to be a device to pull the slumping sopho- mores through winter quarter. It is one of the high spots in the life of every Agnes Scott student. Even members of other classes enjoyed it upper- classmen with wonderful mem- ories and freshmen with high expectations. Clocks You won't believe this. Last Saturday night the clocks in Mammy's Shanty were stopped at 2:02. John Updike I recommend John Updike to those of you who are not amused by the Tom Wolfe brand of current American fiction. First andfore- most, Updike has compassion, a love for strangers and for things he does not know. He hasn't been away from Harvard long enough to have lost his ability to pin down the illu- sive world we know; yet he can write about his youth with a sure, steady perspective. He is a craftsman, and in most of his work he is as concerned with style as he is with characterization and "message." His short stories, especially, are polished and te*rse. Each sentence is as carefully worked as is the story as a whole. His latest work is Of The Farm, a rather short novel which leads him away from what Douglas Davis calls his "verbal athletic- ism." Here Updike has only four charac- ters, and he foregoes any and all devices which might distract him from saying what he has to say about these people. Like al- most all his fiction, the resolution is, in Davis' term, bittersweet. His two volumes of poetry, Telephone Poles and The Carpentered Hen, are full of short, light pieces. They are the work of a writer who has put aside his serious craftsmanship to toy with words awhile. It is in his nonfiction, mostly reporting work he did for the New Yorker and recently compiled under the title Assorted Prose, that one of Updike's rarest qualities comes out. He can express the ineffable without actually saying it. Because he knows better than to try to use words for that which is inexpres- sible, he devotes himself instead to the con- struction of a frame which outlines and en- closes what he has to say. For example, his coverage of Ted Wil- liams' last baseball game in Fenway Park is, in his own words, a "labor of love." Al- though he says no more than any other re- porter would say, what he communicates is much more than a sports write-up. He man- ages to arrange his material in such a way that at the end it has enclosed and frozen a meaning and understanding that is too per- ishable to survive being forced into a word or a sentence. It is the greatest writing skill to admit what words cannot do, to work on the lan- guage's own terms, and then to succeed in getting exquisitely fragile meanings com- municated anyway. iOTre w rag mnm Dining Hall Food Better Than Some Dear Editor, What is all this noise about the food in the dining hall? Asa graduate of many forms of academic eating, I am somewhat dismayed by these rantings. Maybe a word or two PRSFession STUDENT about my experience with oth- er forms of campus cookery will help inject new zest into student tastebuds. Sorority eating was cer- tainly more consistent, but then consistency becomes less desirable when it's always in the shape of a Skippy peanut butter jar. Then, came French student restaurants. Any dreams of great cuisine were shattered the first time I moved down the line, tin plate in hand. The concept of choice is un- known in such places, so if you wanted to have anything to pick over, you had to accept sans mot the blobs of lentils, nood- les,- and gravy with meat bits. Top it all off with straw- berry yogurt, and you lasted for an hour and a half at the most. Two years later, and ten pounds lighter, I entered the graduate school phase. What glorious freedom, what a vic- tory over mass feeding to be able, at long last, to eat what, when and where one chose. Long about January, boiling mushroom soup gushered forth all over my hotplate, and ef- forts to clean it in my bath- room sink were, I'm sorry to say, not successful. Dining freedom took a nose- dive on that fateful day. Add- ed to this discomfort was the humiliation of standing in the checkout line at the grocery store with nothing but cans in your basket. The average housewife can be most abu- sive, without ever saying a word. Now, we come to the glam- ourous career girl stage. Modern science moves for- ward with remarkable speed, but to date I can still find only six or seven kinds of TV din- ners in the biggest supermar- kets in town. And only one of these, the turkey dinner, rates more than a one-night-per- week consumption. So, friends, if you don'tlike your lunch, pass your plate to me. Itll taste great.

The PROFILE wili not pub- lish anonymous letters. Let- ters may be published unsign- ed at the discretion of the edi- tor, providing she knows the identity of the writer. While a senior at Macalester College in Minnesota, Marilyn Hoff decided to try to write a novel about college students for her honors thesis. With a lot of hard work and the continued support of her honors examiner, she succeed- ed so well that DINK'S BLUES won her a McKnight Founda- tion Award and was published by Harcourt, Brace & World on February 9. Her concern while writing DINK'S BLUES, says Miss Hoff, "was not to tell about student life; it was to create a parti- cular kind of character with a particularly wild imagination and image of herself, a parti- cular kind of audacity, and a particularly significant effect on other people: a person who lived as though continually an actress, who would dream up plots for herself, and then, as unlikely as they were, would live them." Miss Hoff interrupted her four years at Macalester to spend one semester as an ex- change student at a Negro col- lege in Knoxville, Tennessee, an experience which she considers "deeply significant." When not writing or study- ing, she has worked as swimm- ing instructor, playground director, door-to-door sales- woman, and factory hand. She also spent one summer in Rome where she worked as a waitress. She enjoys painting, sculpting, and playing the guitar. Miss Hoff was born In Iowa Falls, Iowa, but grew up in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. She is now twenty-three, lives in St. Paul, and is writing a second novel. Administration Talks THE PROFILE FEBRUARY 17, 1966 PAGE 3 Parents Ask About SDA, Tensions, Cultural Life AMONG THE ACTIVITIES of Sophomore Parents' Weekend was Saturday chapel conducted by Dr. Tumblin; Betty Letourneau and her father look for seats in order to hear his speech "On Doing Something Shocking." Cheaper By The Dozen Mother Visits Scott by Susan Aikman In case anyone wondered who the cute little lady eating din- ner with Miss Groseclose, the Alstons, Miss Boney and sev- eral students in the dining hall last Thursday was, she is one of America's leading industrial engineers and most famous mothers. Mrs. (Dr.) Lillian Gilbreth visited Agnes Scott last Thurs- day at the invitation of Miss Nancy Groseclose. She was in Atlanta at the meeting of the Southeastern Section of the American Institute of Industrial Engineers. Mrs. Gilbreth is perhaps most widely known as the moth- er of the dozen in Cheaper by the Dozen which was written by her son and daughter, Frank and Ernestine (Carey). The book ends with Mrs. Gil- breth 's making the statement, "I can go ahead with your fath- er's work" after his death. She certainly has lived up to this prediction. Her presence in Atlanta last week bears this out. She spent last Thursday on the Georgia Tech campus giv- ing a few talks. Friday she had conferences with industrial en- gineering majors. Friday night her visit was culminated when she attended a dinner honoring Dr. Frank Groseclose, Miss Groseclose's brother. Mrs. Gilbreth made a state- ment with which the majority of Agnes Scott students would agree when she said, 1 'I think Georgia Tech is a fine place." When asked about the movie made from Cheaper by the Doz- en, Mrs. Gilbreth said she lik- ed it but that she liked the play written by a young Chicago man better. She likes to "see the child- ren taking part" in the history. There has been talk of mak- ing a musical from Cheaper by the Dozen but the plans have not worked out yet. Mrs. Gilbreth has heard some of the music and thinks it very "attrac- tive/ She says that she "would love to come take a course here." She is very interested in the theater. She once at- tended a theater workshop at the University of California in Berkeley and felt that it was a very "rewarding experience." She likes now to spend more and more of her time on college campus to see "young people coming along." Agnes Scott students who had the privilege of meeting her are certainly glad she spent some time on this campus. Mrs. Gilbreth, in carrying on her husband's work after his death in 1924, is now at 87 one of America's leading efficiency experts. She was named Wo- men of the Year in the late 1940's. She originally got her B.A. in English and psychology, but her husband wanted her to work with him. She went back to school and got degrees in in- dustrial engineering. "I worked with my husband and am still carrying on." While registering for Sopho- more Parents' Weekend, par- ents were given a chance to ask questions for which they want- ed faculty-slant answers. Saturday at the Sophomore banquet, the question and an- swer period revealed rather clearly what is on their minds nowadays. Questions ran the gamut from cars for Sophomores and tui- tion increases to the problems of tensions on students and preparation of Scotties to cope with the cold cruel world. Someone even wanted to know if we had a chapter of Students for Democratic Ac- tion on campus. Several Sophomores were found out by parents as Dean Kline answered questions about the problems of the lack of spare time and the effects of tensions on the student. Dr. Alston came quickly back with 'That's just Sopho- mores" as the former ques- tion was applauded. Lack of efficiency and "stewing" take a lot of spare time, according to Dean Kline. Dean Scandrett was given the task of answering to what kind of effort is made to give students a well-rounded social life. Georgia Tech and Emory certainly play a part in Agnes Scott's social life, but Atlanta and its cultural side have much to offer student s-with or with- out boys along. She declared herself open to "social suggestions" which would improve girls' dating life, but her position on the ultimate goal was clear: "I by Virginia Russell know of no way to find the bov or the girl, and I speak from experience." Asked about Agnes Scott's plans for the future, Dr. Mc- Nair came up with several surprising answers. In the next ten years, the Board of Trustees plans to add $13,350,000 to its pro- gram. The money will be di- vided between Scholarship En- dowment, General Endow- ment, and a building fund. This is what Dr. McNair calls 'The long future at Agnes Scott." This planning is the last great work of President Emeritus McCain, in whose memory a Lectureship En- dowment Fund will be set up. A drive for money will be led by Mortar Board starting in the spring of 1966. Dean Kline's answer in re- gard to the qualifications used in selecting teachers for Ag- nes Scott sounded suspicious- ly like the qualifications used in selecting students for Agnes Scott. The last question gave Dr. Alston a chance to launch into his annual speech to Fresh- men on the controls held over the thinking of Agnes Scott students. It was concerned with the changing ideas in the world today and what is being done for Scotties to prepare us to either agree or disagree with them. His answer probably alarm- ed some parents, but probably reassured many Sophomores. It was, in short, that Agnes Scott guides its students rath- er than controlling them. The faculty feels that students are capable of thinking for them- selves and coping with new ideas. Arts Council Presents Film Festival Winner "Be prepared for an exper- ience such as you've never had from watching a film" New York Tlmes r All critics agree that the film "Last Year at Marienbad" provides a unique experience for everyone. Arts Council will sponsor a showing of "Last Year at Mar- ienbad" at Agnes Scott Fri- day, February 18. Winner of the Golden Bear Award of the Venice Film Fes- tival, "Last Year" marks a new era in movie making. It is the story of three peo- ple, two men and a woman, who meet at a baroque interna- tional palace-hotel. One of the three is a name- less man who tries to convince the woman that they met last year at Marienbad and planned to meet at the hotel to run away together. Did they? Find out at 7:30 p.m., Friday, February 18, in Maclean Auditorium. There will be no admission charge. Following the film there will be an informal dis- cussion of the film in the Hub. The discussion will be led by Miss Carrington Wilson and Mr. Tom Gray, movie and theatre critic for the Atlanta Constitu- tion. A SEA OF PARENTS and their Sophomore daughter-students filled Room 3 Buttrick for Miss Boney's Bible lecture; un- daunted by the presence of parents, the girls kept up a lively student-teacher exchange in this class as well as in all the others.

PAGE 4 FEBRUARY 17, 1966 THE PROFILE Pomerance Leads Rebels, Leaps From Birthday Cake If you have been watching the la*e show ( or rather, the late show in between commercials) perhaps you've noticed a fami- liar face trying to convince you to join the "Dodge Rebellion." Dale Pomerance, a senior at Scott, is that familiar face. Dale has been modeling since' the age of fourteen, but she MOCKINGS FROM RAMON A Dear Mom, I'm sorry if my handwriting's a bit shakey, but I'm in the In- firmary. My all-night stands proved a little too much for me and the results were devastat- ing. I came down here last Sat- urday with a fever and a sore throat. So far, I've been test- ed for jungle rot, beri-beri, scurvy, malaria, and would you believe chicken pox? All those tests proved nega- tive and the doctor was at a loss until it occurred to her I might have that rare disease, mono. She immediately con- sulted four medical encyclo- pedias, seven textbooks, and a specialist, Dr. No. She still doesn't have the report, though. One thing is certain: I am sick. There's also another small problem. As the nurse was helping me out of bed last night, I slipped and sprained my wrist. But I think it 11 be all right by the time they de- cide on my original ailment. Saturday night I thought I was delirious. I heard all this wild jungle noise. Then I rea- lized it was only people coming in from dates. Noise is very disturbing when I am on my deathbed. Like Sunday. I thought it was Batman and Robin at the very least when I heard a sudden swoosh. But no. Only a few happy-go-lucky skateboard- ers. The one nice thing about be- ing in that weekend was that the parents of a couple of sophomores came down to vis- it. Everything I've heard about Sophomores Parents' Week- end says it was great. It's really helped the sophs get through winter quarter. I even know a few who've burned their applications to U.N.C. Now I wonder what will help me get through win- ter quarter. All my professors have been very nice. He says it's all right if I just get in my term paper by the opening of school next year. Of course, by being sick last weekend I missed the big rally. Cassandra, however, gave me a glowing report. Actually, she had a few reservations about "Affirmation: Viet- nam," but you know Cassan- dra. She cannot resist a chance to be involved. She also couldn't pass up the idea of riding in a motor- cade to a demonstration. She's worn out so many shoes walk- ing. Don't worry about my health, Mom. I'm confident Hi be out by spring vacation. Write me a long letter about Butch and all the gang. Love, R amona by Janice Weatherby doesn't seem to have any aspi- rations to become a "high fashion model." She is planning to be married in March to Dr. Bruce Gillette of Atlanta. Af- ter graduation she plans to teach. Dale describes her varied ex- periences in modeling as "fas- cinating." As she says "Every job is different." Dale works for a modeling agency and has done everything from tea room modeling to jumping out of birthday cakes at the Qrand Ball Room at the Marriott. Recently she and several he- lium balloons were the con- tents of a gigantic birthday cake. The hollow cake was part of the festivities of a convention at the Marriott, Dale and the balloons popped out while the guests sang "Happy Anniver- sary." Fbr the sake of pro- priety Dale added that this wasn't the usual "girl-in-cake- pop-out." Her attire consisted of black bermudas and a frilly white blouse. Eale regards as her most harrowing experience the time she did a live TV commerical. She had on a leopard skirt, opera stocking and heels and was carrying a tray of ice cream (obviously, she was ad- vertising for ice cream company). Dale then proceeded to trip over a cord and almost dropped the tray. Fortunately she managed to regain control of the situation so that no one but she knew what had happen- ed. Her comment to this was "I'll never again do a live com- mercial." Fbr all aspiring Agnes Scott students who have an unquen- chable desire to get into the fashion world, Dale suggests that you have a composite made of yourself (Be sure to get yourself at the best angles - naturally), and distribute it a- mong fashion agencies. But if this doesn't interest you, per- haps we best consider Eale's ultimate choice and sign up for education courses so we can teach. FRIDAY'S CHAPEL was the scene of the last appearance of Scott's College Bowl team before the March 6 appearance. Participating were (left to right) Katherine Bell, Malinda Snow, Karen Gearreald, and Betty Butler. Pernell Roberts Back In Atlanta For "Seesaw Actor Pernell Roberts has returned to Atlanta this week to star in the Municipal Theatre's Winter Play Season production of "Two for the Seesaw." Roberts was bom in Way- cross, Georgia, and attended Georgia Tech, where he was an engineering major. While at Tech, he enlisted in the U.S. Marine Corps where he served two years. After the service, he returned to college at the University of Maryland where he became in- terested in acting. After acting in Cleveland and Washington, D.C., he appeared in New York with the American Lyric The- atre in a series of one-act operas, ballets, and dance operas. In 1955 he won the Drama Desk Award for Best Actor Off Broadway for his efforts in Shakespearean drama, notably "Romeo and Juliet," "Mac- beth", and "Henry VI." Leaving N. Y. for Hollywood, he appeared in "Desire Under the Elms" and "The Sheep- man." He starred in such te- levision productions as "Ma- tinee Theatre," "Gunsmoke," and "Cimarron City." From these roles he became a member of one of television's most famous families the Cartwrights of "Bonanza." Af- ter several seasons onthePon- derosa as Adam, Roberts de- cided to return to the live the- atre. BUSY WITH CLASSES and modeling, Dale Pomerance pauses on the campus. Dynamic Duo Sweeps Campuses Nationwide The Collegiate Press Service Any possibility that camp humor has run its course on the campus was laid to rest with the advent of the "Bat- man" television series. Although the New York Times critic decided that "Batman" was too good to be bad enough to be good, thou- sands of students apparently agree that the worst is yet to come. At the University of Wash- ington, socialogist Vance Pac- kard spoke to a similar audience that those crowded around the television sets in the student union and every one of them, doubtless, status seekers, if that is any con- solation. At the University of Illi- nois, officials installed 100 extra chairs in the student union TV room but still had to turn students away. For the next installment, they set aside the ballroom of the union building and still had standing room only. Perhaps they recalled with horror their experience of two years ago, when they used a soldering iron to fix the dial on one set to the uni- versity's educational TV sta- tion. Students used a wrench to force it back to "Gunsmoke." The student center and dormitory lounges were re- ported overflowing at the Uni- versity of Kentucky as each new installment of the series was aired. Especially popular was the student center lounge where students could see "Biff, Zap, Bam, Blam.." come out in purple, green, and yellow on the color television. At the University of Michi- gan, the Michigan Daily' s tele- vision critic tried to explain why students who digest Sam- uelson by day and Sartre by night could be drawn so mag- netically toward the "electronic and intellectual vacum tube." He quoted Phineas T. Barnum: "No one ever lost money un- derestimating the intelligence of the American people." Bring Sho Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc.

On February 28 Mr. Koen- raad Swart's intellectual his- tory class will also hear Dr. Gay. Mr. Swart, who has heard the historian speak several times, describes him as an excellent speaker who makes things in- teresting and clear. Although Dr. Gay was born in Scott Hosts Governments Conference Plans are being made for the Southern Intercollegiate Asso- ciation of Student Governments Conference which will be held on the Agnes Scott campus April 14-16. Marilyn Abendroth is co- chairman of the committee and "is working hard to make the conference a big success," said Alice Zollicoffer. The students who will be at- tending the conference are all from girls' schools with the ex- ception of representatives from the girls' part of the student bodies from two coed schools. Zolly says that the weekend should be really exciting and that everyone involved in the planning is enthusiastic about it. Bloodmobile Due Here March 31 by Kat Mitchell Athletic Association is pre- paring for perhaps its most worthwhile project of the year - the Red Cross blood drive. This is a new undertaking for Agnes Scott, but in other parts of the United States over 300 colleges and universities parti- cipate in similar programs. There are two reasons why A. A. feels that the blood drive will be good for our campus. First, it is an opportunity to get outside of our campus and to perform a service for the com- munity. Second, this project will be a joint effort on the part of students, faculty, and ad- ministration. The Bloodmobile will be on campus March 31. The members of A.A. are en- thusiastic about the blood drive. Perhaps it will be the beginning of a project that can be con- tinued in the years to come. AGNES SCOTT ON COLLEGE BOWL MARCH 6 Berlin, Germany, he came to the United States as a young man and attended the University of Denver. He has specialized in Euro- pean intellectual history, con- centrating mainly on the intel- lectual history of France. This includes an interest in Rousseau and Voltaire, about whom Dr. Gay has written such books as Voltaire's Politics . Dr. Gay is presently a full professor of history at Colum- bia University where he receiv- ed his MA and Ph.D degrees. Bat Agnes, Tom Jones Help Junior Jaunt Drive Junior Jaunt weekend started last night with the Senior Slave Sale. Slaves were auctioned off as the highlight of the evening and, as an added attraction, homemade candies, cookies, pies, and cakes were available at the faculty booth. The second event of Junior Jaunt, Suppressed Desire's Day, is taking place right now. Uninformed freshmen and ab- sentminded upperclassmen should remember the following rules for this annual event: Sports attire may be worn to classes and to the dining hall but not off- campus; quiet hours will be suspended one hour be- tween 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and be- tween 7 p.m. and 10 p.m.; Elevators in Buttrick may be used ; smoking will be per- mitted in the lower dining hall during lunch; students may vent their emotions in the library between 1 and 2 p.m. Tonight the juniors will pre- sent Club '67 which was be- queathed to them by the class of 1965. The theme of Club '67 will be 'The Bat Cave" and will feature a satirical skit star- ring Bat Agnes and Scottie Won- der. Refreshments will be served and admission will be 50 per person. Cotillon Club Sponsors Cavallaro The Decatur Cotillion Club is sponsoring Carmen Cavallaro, "The Poet of the Piano,"in concert with his trio at 8 p.m. March 5 at The Biltmore Ho- tel. All proceeds will benefit the Club's charities, one of which is an annual scholarship gift to Agnes Scott College. Mr. Cavallaro has earned a solid reputation in the world of music for his interpretations in jazz, swing, general music and semi-classics. He is as much at home with his celebrated rendition of Cho- pin's "Poloniase" as with his popular Latin arrangement or in the current Jazz idiom. His concert will have something for everyone. Those interested in tickets may sign a list in the Dean's Office or purchase them at Clark Lquipment Company in Decatur. Tomorrow night will be old English night at Scott. At 5:30 the sophomores are having a Tom Jones dinner complete with entertainment in the main din- ing hall; visitors are welcome and admission will be 50# per person. Immediately after the dinner, at 7:30, the freshmen will have a dance in the Hub. The Hub will be decorated like an English pub to continue the English theme. Admission to the dance will be 50< per person.

College Board members re- port regularly to M ademoiselle on events at their colleges, re- search articles, and help the magazine select models for col- lege fashion features. The Board is composed of some 1500 winners of the annual nationwide competition. The contest is designed to recognize young women with talent in art, writing, editing, photography, layout, fashion design, mer- chandising, retail promotion or advertising. Board members are selected on the basis of the entries they submit showing ability in one of these fields. Each girl re- mains on the Board until she graduates.

Each year, 20 of the Board members are chosen to become Guest Editors. To win one of these positions, a Board member must submit a second entry showing superior aptitude for magazine work. Cathe Cento rbe, Agnes Scott senior, was one of the Guest Editors who helped to write, il- lustrate, and edit Mademoi- selle's August 1965 college is- sue. NSA V ice President Stresses Student Power Jim Johnson, National Affairs Vice - President of the National Student Association, spoke for Scott students Thursday March 17. He discussed Agnes Scott's involvement in NSA and answer- ed questions raised by Tom Houston, head of the anii-NSA drive, who spoke at Scott early in February NSA has been accused of be- ing "left of center" and of not being concerned enough with the problems of student government on the individual campus. Tom Houston, president of the Young Americans for Freedom, told Scott students that a student organization should not pass re- solutions on current political situations and then use these statements when lobbying or protesting certain actions. Jim argued that students were not active enough in political affairs, and should take advant- age of their power as a lobby group. He produced evidence that the National Student Association is now enlarging its library of ma- terial on student governme nt, and reminded listeners of the special travel rates and other benefits to be received with membership in the organiza- tion. Agnes Scott is the only pre- dominantly white southern school still a member of NSA. During Spring Quarter the student body may be asked to vote on whether or not to re- main a member of NSA. Stu- dent government President Debbie Rosen encourages all students to bear this in mind and to keep in contact with the facts and issues of NSA. in NOTABLF ' Atlanta 1 "An Evening with Batman and Robin."

Many of these girls are simply frightened; others who have already signed up also have misapprehensions. The giving process is easy. As explained by a spokesman for Dr. Grcenberg, the donor's pulse, temperature and blood pres- sure are taken, and, if acceptable, her finger is pricked (this is the most painful part) and her blood examined to see if she is anemic. If she passes all these requirements, she lies down on a Red Cross cot, a needle is inserted in the arm vein and the transference starts. Seven and one-half minutes is all it takes to remove one pint blood, leaving 8-10 pints in the body, ample for any need. This pint is replaced by the body within 24 hours. Physical after effects are negligible; men from the General Motors assembly line give blood and return to the line immediately, working at full speed. Any reaction will occur within 5-6 minutes, and a medical doctor and several RN's will be on duty at all times. There should be no noticable weakness. The Red Cross needs 300 pts. of blood per day just to serve Atlanta and the 40 surrounding counties. The war in Vietnam has increased the need for blood deri- vatives, especially gamma globulin, to help fight the tropical diseases such as malaria which live in the blood. Anyone who wishes to may designate her blood for this pur- pose. The PROFILE realizes that some people get physically ill at the sight or thought of blood. This editorial isn't aimed at such people, although we feel this reaction isn't too practi- cal for daily living. But there is a chance for all us preachers, especially the AVN preachers, to get out and practice a little. There is no room for comparison between the momentary pain of a finger prick and the death of a human being. Elections This is the time of year when everyone, especially freshmen who haven't been exposed before, is tearing her hair over elec- tion procedure. We're tearing with the best of them, but would like to inject a note of hope. Yes, elections are a rangle. We know it and Rep Council knows it, but no one seems to have the answer right now. For the present, bear with it. In the end, everything does work out, and surprisingly well. This erratic system does produce a fair method of election, and the best people have the best chance of being chosen for the positions. The excellent ends usually justify the messy means.

MOCKINGS FROM RAMONA Dear Mom, I finally got out of the Infir- mary, but the last days of my stay were not without their ex- citing moments. First, Robin came to see me Monday night. Since boys are allowed only on weekends, he dressed as a min- ister. Things got a little tense when a real minister showed up. He and Robin got into a theological debate, but it all came out all rights The nurse was so im- pressed she's going to hear Robin preach Sunday. At last, the doctor thought she had pinpointed my disease a rare cattle malady of northwes- tern Kenya. She called an am- bulance but it couldn't get to the Infirmary until they had moved the 19 cars blocking the drive by Winship. You can bet I'm going on a Park-in-the- p roper-place campaign when I get out. Anyway, then they found my high fever, the main symptom of my rare disease , was a re- sult of an over-warm heating pad. By that time, they had the re- sults of my blood test, showing I had had a slight case of mono. I was allowed to leave Wed- nesday, .on the condition I take it easy. The next problem was mov- ing back to the dorm. I had 9 stuffed animals, two radios, my stereo, 23 Johnny Mathis al- bums, four flower arrange- ments, and two stacks of maga- zines. Somehow the lab manual I had been studying got lost in the shuffle. On my seventeenth trip, Lin- da Lou Colvard rushed out of Gaines and offered to help. She and Frances VVadsworth helped me into a car, shouting some- thing about needing a third to ride to the airport. I was too weak to resist, and before I was really alert we were on the freeway. We did travel in style - Fran- ces' Aunt Becca's Model T. They borrowed it so Linda Lou could drive out to see Bob on a 40-minute wait between planes. I never found out whether Bob was her uncle or cousin, but I was glad to help out. Well, after that adventure, on top of a frustrating week in the Infirmary, I was ready to un- supress a few desires today. First I started a fire in the Reading Room fireplace. It was quite nice until I remem- bered that rule from my Girl Scout days always open the flue first. Then I commandeered the Buttrick elevator and didn't let any faculty members ride. That was great until I got stuck and forced to call for help. At last I found the way to re- lease all my tensions in the tra- ditional way kissing the pro- fessor. Mr. Tumblin was most cooperative. Then I went after Dr. Hayes, but the line to his office was backed up to Dana and I just didn't have time to wait. The real highlight came when I pounced on Mr. Brown. He tried to get away, but my self- defense course tactics paid off and won me the prize for the day. After all that I'm a bit tired. Give Butch my love. Love, Ramona A HUB DISCUSSION on the movie "Last Year at Marienbad" was held on Friday night, conducted by Tom Gray of the Atlanta Constitution. Publicity Director Carrington Wilson (left) opened the discussion. inraiaTOTOgginria Reader Proud Of Student Affirmation Dear Editor: Having read with interest and pride the Affirmation on the part of many Agnes Scott students of the government's policy in Vietnam, and "Outside" Affir- mation of their Affirmation seems to be in order. In experiencing the feeling of reclusion from the events of the outside world which so fre- quently occurs when one be- comes predominantly involved with academics, one can realize and, thus, applaud the efforts of those students who have suc- cessfully made an attempt to take part in current affairs. Also, besides being a heart- ening sign of the students' a- wareness of happenings outside the college community, Agnes Scott's participation in "Affir- mation: Vietnam" gives encou- ragement to those of us more intimately involved. Being human we all gain con- fidence from knowing that others approve of our actions and when emotions could distort the true objectives of the war, making many wonder about the Tightness of their sacrifices, it is extrtmely important that those who approve speak out. As one sees neighbors on all sides leaving an army base, the wife going home to her parents and the husband to Vietnam, and as one realizes that the possi- bility of one's own husband's going is becoming increasingly a probability, the war becomes a reality. Under these conditions it is good to hear that all students (those who are supposed to be, above all, thinkers) Do not feel, as those at Berkeley and else where, that the contribution of those who are sent to fight is in vain. Thus, one feels gratitude for those who openly Affirm our go- government's policy in Vietnam both for the indication of their concern and for the necessary moral support which their con- cern provides.

COMPUTER QUEST Independent Study THE PROFILE FEBRUARY 24, 1%6 PAGE 3 Eliot Has Vision To See Beauty Beneath Ugliness by Portia Morrison T. S 0 Eliot once said that "...the essential advantage for a poet is not to have a beautiful world with which to deal: it is to be able to see beneath both beauty and ugliness; to see the boredom and the horror, and the glory." This statement is an expression of just the sort of poetic vision that Eliot himself pos- sessed, the sort of vision that gives his poetry an appeal and an influence that is perhaps wider than that of any other poet in the world of contemporary literature. One of the most difficult and certainly the most important tasks for the scudent of Eliot's poetry is that of reconciling the fact of his distinct Christianity with the knowledge of the peculiar appeal that his poetry has had for the members of a civilization in which tradi- tional Christianity has been largely discard- ed as irrelevant to the problems of the age. However, if an examination is made of the poetic method through which Eliot works, the task does not seem so difficult. For Eliot was not always a Christian; his conversion to Anglo-Catholicism came after many years of writing about "the boredom and the horror," and his vision of "the glory" was achieved only after a very slow and painful process of intellectual and spirit- ual searching. Man And Poet For Eliot, both as a man and as a poet, the old symbols for central human experience had become obscured and distorted so that they were no longer able to perform their func- tion in infusing the life of man with trans- cendent meaning. Thus it seemed to him that the task of the poet had become, in the words of Cleanth Brooks, "not only to find new symbols for the central experiences but to reconstitute the old symbols, reclaiming them, redeeming them, setting them in contexts which will force us once again to confront their Chris- tian meanings." My independent study paper was conceived as an attempt to trace Eliot's religious jour- ney throughout the whole range of his poetry, dealing with particular care with the poems or passages of poems that embody the attitude of the poet at the most noteworthy stages in his quest. I have chosen the journey metaphor, which Eliot uses consistently in his poerty, as a focus for the paper, for the concept of the journey, or quest, forms the framework and the direction for all of Eliot's most significant poetic endeavors. Through a study of the use of the imagery of the journey in Eliot's poetry it is possible to gain a sense both of the nature of his own personal religious quest and of the way in which that quest has been conducted. For Eliot has based his poetry in the de- spair and the futility that infuse contem- porary civilization and out of that sense of meaninglessness has discovered, through a process of spiritual searching, a source of renewal and of purpose that is able to trans- form human existence. Honesty His poetry appeals to contemporary man primarily because of the fairness and honesty with which his journey has been conducted. He does not ask either of himself or of his reader that any traditional values be posited; rather, he begins with the assumption merely that life as it is lived in the world of today is empty and meaningless, and he proceeds from that point to rebuild and revitalize the symbols that generate meaning and purpose in human life and bring about rebirth in the beauty and fullness that is achieved when one is able to order his life around "the still point of the turning world" and to "move in measure, like a dancer." Speaking As A I Representative... I (A report of Rep. Council; Feb- ruary 15) The Council passed RC-11, a resolution providing for a sty- listic change in the Constitution concerning the election of Ju- dicial representatives. It sim- ply clarifies the fact that the number of junior and senior ju- dicial representatives will be determined prior to popular no- minations after consideration of the number of living areas on campus for the coming year. The Council passed a resolu- tion providing for the following changes in the Arts Council Consitution; (1) two non-seniors will be chosen by Arts Council from petitions made to the Council at the time of student body elections; (2) one representative each will be elected by the freshman, sophomore and junior classes: (3) the officers (Chairman and Secretary - Treasurer) will be elected by the stu- dent body; (4) the Council will meet every Monday unles c ot- herwise requested by the Chairman; and (5) the Chairman will be a voting member of Rep. Council. Linda Marks Student Leaders Discuss Activism "Student Activism" was the topic discussed by a panel of four nationally known political figures for 250 students from the Atlanta area March 17 at Emory University. About 12 Scott girls attended the discussion. On the panel were Dr. Shac- ko, the youngest Peace Crops director in the nation;"Bubba" Sutton, head of the "Affirma- tion: Vietnam" movement; Tom Houston, president of the Young Americans for Freedom; and Julian Bond, ex-representative elect to the Georgia State Se- nate. The discussion began with each panel member's defining activism as it applied to his realm of activity. Though their approaches to and programs for student in- volvement were all different, the panel saw the need to take students out of their apathy through this activism. Questions were asked of each panel member by the reporters present, interested students, and the other members of the panel > One Scott girl who was pre- sent noted that panel members directed most of their ques- tions to Julian Bond, while ques- tions from the floor went most- ly to Bubba Sutton and Tom Houston. Sarah Uzzell felt the most in- teresting questions raised were directed to Julian Bond; "Can acitvism be justified when it demands taking the law into your own hands?" and "Had you (Bond) planned your recent con- troversial actions for a long time, expecting the publicity you would receive?'* While the public discussion was impressively calm, Sarah disclosed that tempers flared and real arguments shaped up after the discussion when pa- nelists talked individually with acitve soirients.

Seniors, Sophs Stay First In Basketball by Ann Teat Few spectators were in the, gym last Friday to see two fast and furious basketball games. The seniors and the sopho- mores managed to win the vic- tories each needed to maintain the top position tie in the bas- ketball tournament. The junior class, who were obliged to play with only five players, played a better game than the score of 49-17 would indicate. Mary Helen Goodloe and Day Morcock were the most outstanding juniors. Alice Davidson led the scor- ing with 17 points. A strong de- fense led by Judy Ahrano was one of the main factors in gain- ing the victory. Bonnie Creech revealed ac- curate scoring ability by chalk- ing up 14 points. In the second game, the so- phomores led from the opening whistle. Their lead was chal- lenged once by a freshman third quarter rally; however, the so- phs kept their number one slot by a 33-25 victory. Kat Mitchell played well of- fensively (8 points) and defen- sively by demonstrating good rebounding. Elizabeth Cooper was high scorer with 15 points. Freshman Pat Auclair was outstanding defensively as was Wendy Lundy offensively. Lee- Cooper was high scoring fresh- man with 8 points.

Don't miss it two shows, one Julliard Quartet Aesthetic "An excellent performance of excellent music," commented Richard Hensel, after the per- formance of the Julliard String Quartet, February 14. "In performing Hayden and Beethoven," he continued, "they achieved a sensitive bal- ance between stylistically au- thentic playing and the kind of playing that results from con- temporary license to improve upon performance norms pe- culiar to traditional styles/' The music by Bartok gave the audience the opportunity to hear an example of "problematical contemporary work," accord- ing to Dr. Hensel. Though Dr. Hensel does not feel that the Fj_fttl is Bartok 's best quartet, its presentation demonstrated the ability of the Julliard group to recreate Bar- tok, "giving the Quartet new meaning in this present time." A survey of Bartok shows that he was concerned with the twen- tieth-century conflict of tonali- ty versus atonality. "In tins work (the Fifth) he tried to resolve the conflict by modulating melodic cells rath- er than key centers. This re- sults in a kind of atonal tonali- ty, if there can be such a thing," commented Dr. Hensel. ''In general," summerized Dr. Hensel," the eveing pro- vided an aesthetic experience which has left me recreating this experience in an attempt to possess it." night only.

Croswell Competes For Scott by Sonja Nelson Social Council is placing a Scottie in GLAMOUR'S Best- Dressed College Girl Contest for the second consecutive year u The girl must be selected by the campus community and is judged by the magazine on the basis of photographs. The ten winners go to New York during the summer as guests of the magazine. They are photographed extensively for a special fall issue,, Ellen Croswell, a sophomore from Ohio, was chosen as Scott's '66 entrant. A local fashion photographer has been engaged by Social Council to photograph Ellen for the con- test. The girls selected by the magazine are treated to a round of parties in their honor in New York. Although the girls seldom work on the magazine itself, the social life is exciting. The contest also is an excel- lent source of publicity for the schools involved. Perhaps the most interesting facet of the contest is the type of girl often selected. Pictures entered of contestants range from shots of the girl smoking a pipe to riding a motorcycle or arriving at the opera. The magazine also relies heavily on the girl's background and wide range of activities in its selection. The decision is usually based on originality of dress and unusual personality traits. Social Council hopes that the campus will show continued in- terest in the contest and contri- bute ideas for enlivening the format of the entry. by Justice Waldrop "It pleased me here and here", said a visitor in broken English, touching her ears and heart. 'To hear Goethe, to hear it so beautifully ..ah, it's been so long." It is difficult to find even an area for criticism. Frankly, many students had not expected such dramatic skill from a play handled by the German Depart- ment ratherthanadrama group 0 But director Erika Shiver had directed the play three times previously, and this, plus the experience of the main actors probably contributed to the pro- fessional quality of the produc- tion. The rich, deep voice of Sam Shiver, who played Faust, cap- tivated the audience immediate- ly. It contrasted sharply with the sly, spirited, coniving speeches by Mephistopheles, played by Hermann Flaschka. Gretehen Blair-Louise Major's por- trayal of Gretehen was probably the most effective performance. Certainly it was the most mov- ing. Though at times barely audible, she developed in inten- sity as the role developed and her final scene is truly a high- light of the performance. Flaschka's interpretation of the devil was spirited. He hand- led several scenes especially skillfully. His cunning answers to the eager student and his ris- que lines urging Faust to allow him a week to procure Gret- chen's affection were comical- ly effective. Although the prison scene was superbly acted, generally Gretehen and Faust performed better when not together on the stage. Faust as the man cfdeep feeling seemed more at home talking to Mephistopheles of his desire than when conver- sing with Gretehen. But the garden scene itself, with its circular turn-taking conversations first one cou- ple, then another is a good example of the episodic quality of the play which is an unfin- ished, early version. High-Schoolish This leads to the production problems themselves which de- serve special attention because they were overcome on the whole by remarkable direction. Since this is an early version, the scenes were more like brief flashes than unified parts of a whole. Director Shiver attempted to unify them by moving rapidly from one to another, not break- ing the mood, and succeeded. Fortunately, Wagner's role was minor, for much of his speech was garbled and difficult for the non-natives to follow. Laura Boddiford, as the student was a bit high-schoolish and gullible, though it was hard for me to discern if this was a weakness in the script or her acting. Sham- Widow Gail Livingston rendered the role of a fickle, coniving, sham-widow with an excellent sense of comic timing, and sav- ed several scenes from drab- ness that resulted from Gret- chen's overly weak soliloquies. Susan Bergeron must have known some gossipy women, she portrayed one so well. And the crowd, too, should be commended. They praised the performance, in German, all the way out of Dana.

The thoughts of modern theo- logy, "God is dead", played a part in the first meeting, but there were six major areas which were specifically dis- cussed. They were mass communica- tion, student's relationship to foreign policy, civil rights, new campus honesty, cybernetics and automation, and the role of women in society today. The conference made resolu- tions on each topic. These resolutions were sent back to each local chapter. Mary and Judy voted on and approved each of the resolu- tions, which will be posted in the mail room next week. President of Christian As- sociation, Mary Brown, said, "The importance of Agnes Scott's being an affiliate mem- ber of the Y.W.

Shell Gratit Goes For Faculty Fund, Equipment The Shell Oil Company a- warded Agnes Scott College a $1500 Grant. This is the four- th annual grant the Shell Com- pany has made to the college, and it has been made in the same way each time. Lach year the Shell Oil Com- pany stipulates that the money be divided into three $500 por- tions. $500 is to be used at the' dis- cretion of the president of the college. In the past Dr. Alston has either dispensed this money for use in current expenditures or in capital funds. The dean of the faculty is in charge of using one $500 portion of the Shell grant. Dean Kline always places this money in the summer study and re- search fund for the faculty. This fund helps pay faculty members' expenses when they do special travel for study pur- poses in the summer. It aids them with such expenses as summer school tuition and work leading to the Ph.D. degree. The chairman of the math- matics department has at his discretion the use of $500 of the Shell grant. This por- tion is to be used for special expenditures for which Che col- lege does not budget mone-y. In the past, Mr. Kobinsonhas used this money to buy such items as a desk calculator, a mathmatics typewriter, and a full sequence of mathmatics journals. Gaskell Announces McCain Lectures Scolt (tills Aid Alston Would you believe President Johnson stalled on South Cand- ler? Would you believe Presi- dent Alston stalled on South Candler?

People riding down Candler at about 9 p.m. were probably surprised to see two girls and a man pushing a large Buick back and forth across the stre e t. Failing in an attempt to re- move the ve hide from the tho- roughfare, the young ladies con- tented themselves with consol- ing Dr. Alston, who was the most calm of those present. A program of annual lectures, bringing to the Agnes Scott campus outstanding spokesmen in the fields of the liberal arts and sciences, will be established in memory of James Ross Mc- Cain, the late president emeritus of the college, it was announced in convocation yesterday. Jan Gaskell, president of Mortar Board and chairman of the student-faculty-administration steering committee for the me- morial, told members of the student body and faculty that 'The lectures will have significance not only for the college community, but also for the larger community, the friends of Dr. McCain and of Agnes Scott. "Such lectures are in keeping with the educational purposes and aims of the college and will stimulate an interest in affairs beyond this campus," she said. "Members of the the memorial was noted.

Students, faculty, administration, alumnae and friends are ex- pected tocontribute the funds for the lectureship. An eventual goal for the program is $50,000, a principle which will not only assure outstanding speakers, but will also provide for publish- ing James Ross McCain lectures. At least $25,000 is required for the activation of the lecture- ship. The committee hopes that this amount will be donated this spring. Students will be contacted and given an opportunity to con- tribute during the first week of spring quarter. They are asked to discuss the amount of their gifts with their parents over spring vacation* The steering committee for the memorial was established last quarter by Representative Council at the request of numerous students.

Knox, a mem- ber of the Class of 1899 of Agnes Scott Institute wrote the Alumnae Office recently con- cerning some of her experien- ces when she was a student: "It is also an interesting item perhaps that Nellie Man- seville and I were deprived of any honor status for scholar- ship because we were caught making fudge (with an electric bulb as cooker) Sunday night during "Christian Band" ser- vices! Miss Nannette Hopkins - Lady Principal, herself smelled us out and wept cop- iously over her two culprits leading seniors and both editors of AURORA (then the name of the yearbook). This really is the truthl' Miss Knox is a graduate of Columbia University in New York. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor are welcome.

Agnes Scott College Alumnae Association Three G.I.'s Want Letters From Seott Dear Editor, We are three American soldiers serving our country in Viet Nam. The reason we are writing is that we are almost completly out of touch with the American public. The second reason is that we would like to know what is hap- pening in the U.S., but above all we just want mail from in- telligent young ladies. We are all members of the Army's Strategic Communica- tions Commands, stationed in Phu Lam, Viet Nam, working in the field of our choice, name- ly electronics. We are trying to do our share for the people of South Viet Nam. We are writing to a few colleges, hoping that we will get a reply from someone. Thank you for your time and thoughtfulness, and we would also like to say that we will appreciate all letters sent to us. Jesse C. Hardwich Jr. Vincent A. De Stefano Jerry W.

Night Life in the "We Recommend" department, Manuel's and Ruby Red's Warehouse come at the top of the list. Both these places have so much atmosphere that I can recommend them for minors as well as for those who can "go ahead and taste it." Manuel's is a real old fashioned tavern, located at North Avenue and Highland. The two main attractions of the place are the au- thentic neighborhood-pub- type motif and Manuel himself, a burly old Lebanese who is also quite a self-styled philosopher. Many of the habitues are Emory and Tech people, and the hotdogs are divine. Ruby Red's Warehouse is a new club which opened about three weeks ago. It is located at 57 Ellis Street, near the Marriott. Ruby's is a real warehouse, and features prime beef hamburgers and Roaring Twenties music played by a banjo, tuba, and piano trio. The motif is more "Late Speakeasy" than any- thing else. The music is great, and Ruby's is one of the few places where people really do sing along. The crowds are large every night, so plan to be there by 8:30 on weekends if you want a seat. Music starts at 9 p.m. I don't think there are a lot of legitimate complaints about the dining hall situation, but one complaint that IS sound is die tact tnat those who don't break Into a snappy sprint after their 12:10 classes are likely to find that the late lunch bill of fare is bread and cauliflower dregs. More than once those who arrive at 1:20 have found that there is literally nothing to eat. And no matter how much we complain about the food, we still insist that it exist. Sophomores A word of advice to sophomores. Don't wait until next quarter to start planning your major courses. Course selection week is one of the most crucial times in your academic career, and it deserves your deliberate and ob jective consideration over spring vacation. It is important that you be completely rea- listic about your courses. Don't always base your course choices on the description in the catalogue. Talk to upperclassmen who have had the course in question, and see what it is really like. Don't be lured by high-sound- ing courses that don't deal with what you want them to deal. On the other hand, a course with a deceptively simple title could prove to be a scholastic pitfall. PROFessiorv- STUDENT It 'Patch Of Blue" Brutal, Tender by Ann Roberts The weak should not see "A Patch of Blue." It is an ex- haustive alternation of extraor dinary brutality and extraor- dinary tenderness. But it is worth every emotion-draining moment. Elizabeth Hartwell plays beautifully the completely in- nocent blind girl who, in her eighteenth year, goes for the first time beyond her one-room hell into the park. Shelley Winters is her almost unreal bitch of a mother who, although responsible for the girl's blindness, feels her dau- ghter should be her slave. Wonderful Sidney Poitier is the kind young man the girl meets in the park. Their relationship is a thing of beauty full of help, under- standing, and joy. Her color- less love for him grows and he feels very strongly for her. But he, and the audience, are always haunted by reality and the restraint he must show in the light of it, all made more painful for her child-like open- ness. The movie is without senti- ment or politics, but it is far more than a simple love story. For an enjoyable and moving experience, see 'A Patch of Blue." Help fight Beloit Tries Five Year Curriculum Beloit, Wis.-(I.P.)-A four point program to lessen college student pressures-including the chance to stretch the study for a degree over 5 years for the price of 4-has been advanced by Or. William L. Kolb, dean of Beloit College. "There is nothing sacred about taking 4 years for a de- gree," Dean Kolb stated here recently. "While some students may take less, some may re- quire more because they can do good work with fewer courses. Total tuition paid to work for the degree might remain the same for up to 5 years work. 1. Adopt a system of grading in which the grade point average need not count all the failures, reducing the fear of low gra- des and dimissal in the early years of college. "This system could be com- bined with a requirement that all courses to be counted to- ward a degree be at the satis- factory C level, or combined with a requirement of a high er grade average in the major field", Dean Kolb explained. 2. Educate parents to be rea- listic about their children. There are many good schools available, and not all the stu- dents in these schools will re- ceive A's; a moderate perfor- mance in these schools may still be related to later occupational success and satisfaction. 3. When possible have the faculty separate essential work from knowledge that may be- come obsolete in a few years. "Under the Beloit Plan of year - around education two steps have already been taken to help reduce pressure," Dean Kolb said. "Students take only four courses a term instead of five, and in a flexible Middle- class period, each student may arrange two vacation terms and an off-campus field term in many different combinations with two academic credit terms. "This makes it possible for him to take time off from aca- demic work in a manner better fitted to his individual need. As one example, he may take as much as a full year away from academic work and still make normal progress towards his d'-gree," Dean Kolb added. THE PROFIL Profile news front Jim Johnson, National Affairs Vice-President of the National Student Association, (NSA), spoke for Scott students March 17. He covered many issues not included in the article on his discussion which appeared in the February 24 issue of the PROFILE . Jim talked briefly about the history of NSA. (Agnes Scott was a charter member.) It was founded in 1947, declaring to be interested in better education and more effective student in- volvement. He discussed the period of NSA's intense political acti- vity, and the change its chief emphasis to the problems of campus government, campus government in 1959. He then outlined services now of- fered member schools. In Washington, the NSA main- tains a Student Government In- formation Service and Library. On file there are activity re- ports from member schools. A student body faced with a specific problem can request any helpful information from these files. Jim estimated that 1200 such requests were hand- led last year, Jim described NSA's print- ing services. Over 100 publica- tions have been printed by the organization for use by stu- dent governments. Regular newsletters are also sent to member schools. NSA maintains five staff spe- cialists who can be sent to any school needing their advice or evaluation. NSA will soon be able to serve the individual student, Jim pre- dicted. Plans for a discount buying and travel service are NOTICE All candidates for student body president, judicial chair- man, NSA Coordinator, editor and associate editor of the PROFILE, secretary of stu- dent government, and treasur- er of student government are urged to submit articles to the PROFILE stating their plat- form, projected plans and qualifications for the position. These statements will be published in a special election issue early Spring Quarter. Also urged to submit arti- cles are candidates for secre- tary of judicial council, chair- man of lecture committee, and chairman of house presidents council. All articles must be submit- ted to Helen Mann or put in the copy box in the Mail Room on or before March 31. They must be typed and double spaced. Student body president, ju- dicial chairman, and board presidency candidates may submit articles of no more than three typed pages. Can- didates for all other offices named above may submit ar- ticles of no more tan two typed pages. now being made, and soon stu- dents will be able to obtain international student identifica- tion cards. Jim continued to describe the NSA. It unites 250 colleges and is recognized as a representa- tive student voice Congress and Blackfriars Announce Play Cast With a cast of 20, including a nine feet tall giantess and a four feet, nine inches short hero, the Blackfriars spring play will be produced April 22 and 23. The play Tom Thumb, the Great was written by Henry Fielding, of Tom lones fame. Principle role^ will be play- ed by Jane Morgan, in the title part, Lennard Smith, Debbie Potts, Ray Dikes, and Francis Benjamin. Mr. Michael J. Brown and Dr. Kwai Sing Chang will take cameo roles. The top half of the giantess, Glumdalca, will be played by Poppy Wilson. She will be carri- ed on the shoulders of Les Garber. Other roles will be played by Hermann Flaschka, recently seen in Per Urfaust^ presented by the German department, Peggy Barnes, Sarah Bowman, Sara Boyd, Sandra Earley and Marsha Williams and Dick Hu- bert. Extras include Carol Bless- ing, Jan Cribbs, Claudia Hol- ler and Carol Thomas. Patti Clark Owens Sets Senior Recital Patti Clark Owens, an Agnes Scott music major, will give her senior recital this week. It will be held in Gaines Audi- torium Sunday, March 6, at 3:15 p.m. Works from the romantic pe- riod begin and end the pro- gram. First is "Piece Heroi- que" by Franck, and Part I of Widor's "Fifth Symphony" is last. Two pieces by Bach are also on Mrs. Owens' program. They are "Nun freut euch, lie- ben Christen mein" ("Rejoice, Beloved Christians') and"Pas- sacaglia and Fugue in C Minor". Completing the program are two modern works, "Apparition de 1 'Eglise Eternelle" by Mes- siaen, and "Macht hoch die Tur, die Tur macht weit" by Pepping. Mrs. Owens is President of Organ Guild and S.A.I, at Agnes Scott. She is a pupil of Dr. Raymond Martin. Jim Johnson Explains NSA History, Services, Value the American Council on Edu- cation. It is a non-partisan organi- zation and any school which uses its membership to be- come partisan can be expell- ed. Jim then answered questions. To the charge that NSA was mainly a lobbying force, he said that as a tax exempt body, law requires that "no substantial portion of time (10%) be spent in lobbying, "so NSA could be- come no lobby power. Jim explained that recom- mendations are sent to Con- gress, but any dissenting mi- nority opinions always accom- pany policy statements. NSA policy is formulated at the National conference held dring the summer. 15-20 speeches a day are heard by delegates, and some 25 semi- nars cover national and inter- national politics, evaluate the educational system and discuss problems of student govern- ment. Linda Lou Colvard and Deb- bie Rosen, Scott's delegates to the conference last summer, agreed that the major issue was educational reform, and noted that only five of the seminars dealt with international affairs. Linda Lou said she felt that though Scott's vote was not so powerful as that of some other member southern schools, such as the University of North Ca- rolina, membership was inva- luable. Scott's membership in all national student organizations will be examined by Rep Coun- cil in the spring, said Debbie Rosen, President of the Stu- dent Body. PHILOSOPHY MAJOR Judy Brondnway read her paper on "White- head's Conception of 03d" atthis weekend's Annual Undergraduate Philosophy Conference at the University of Chattanooga. Five Attend Annual Philosophy Meeting A delegation of five philoso- phical Scott girls attended the 13th Annual Undergraduate Phi- losophy Conference Saturday, February 26. University of Chattanooga hosted the gathering which was also attended by students from Vanderbilt, Scwanee, the Uni- versity of Georgia, and Lmory. The theme for the conference was "Philosophy of Religion." The Scott paper on "White- head's Conception of God" was a joint effort, but it was pri- marily the work of Judy Broad- way who presented it at the meeting. Judy commented, "I think it was the most thrilling and worthwhile thing I've ever done!" She also reported that her en- thusiasm was shared by the other Scott delegates, Carol Ann Denton, IJubbie Rosen, Lynn Wilkins, and Judy Williams. Next year's conference on the topic "Social Philosophy" is likely to be held on the Scott campus. Judy Broadway's parting shot was this exuberant' exclamation about some of the young male- philosophers they met: "It's really good to know that brains do sometimes go with brawn"' Six From Scott Try For Six Flags THANKS, AA! iWe Love The Pool Table. Management With winter quarter nearly over, Scotties have been mak- ing summer plans. Friday night, February 18, six girls went over to Georgia Tech to audition for jobs in the summer revue of Six Flags Over Texas, a large Dallas amusement park. Three sophomores, Louise Fortson, Anne Field and Candy Walden and three freshmen, Sara Boyd, Dee Brannen and Marsha Williams tried out for jobs. Louise Fortson and Anne Field sang and danced to "I Won't Grow Up" from Peter Pan. They wore green costumes borrowed from members of the junior class. Candy Walden danced to three songs from South La cifjp. These girls were aided in their musi- cal arrangements and coreo- graphy by Linda Marks and Miss Molly Dotson. Dee Brannen sang "Frankie and Johnny" alone and was join- ed afterward by Sara Boyd. Together they sang "Winken, Blinken, andNod." Marsha Wil- liams played "Gitanerias" by Ernesto Leceuana on the piano and then changed her mood to sing "Swing on the Bell, Nellie" while accompanying herself on her banjo-ukelele. On May 1, a re-audition will be held in Dallas. Out of all the applicants, 75 will be se- lected and flown to Dallas by Six Flags. 25 of these will be asked to report for work May 28. In Atlanta Six Flags Over Texas is es- pecially interested in hiring ten people from this immediate area. In the summer of 1967 a new amusement park like the Dallas one will open in At- lanta. Lxperienced people will be needed to staff it. In speaking of the auditions, Marsha Williams mentioned the high quality of talent displayed by the college students. She al- so said, "I was impressed by how nice the people (the repre- sentatives of Six Flags) looked and were." Louise Fortson hadthis com- ment about the experience: "It was just a lot of fun and we didn't have anything else to do." PAGE 4 MARCH 3, 1966 THE PROFILL 4. ' t| Writer Attacks "Dixie, Draws Strong Protest 55 RALEIGH, N.C. "I may have bitten off more than I can chew," Bob Holmes, the editor of the North Carolina State Technician, says several days and several demonstra- tions after he wrote an editorial condeming the song "Dixie." "I never expected it to es- calate to the scale it has," he said. "We were just trying to provoke some discussion among the students here, but its gotten out of hand." The editorial had no argu- ment with the song, only to the reaction to the music. The editorial added "it appears that all a group has to do is strike 'up a few notes of that tune and . . .people automatically shout frantically, and stand up and sing. 'Dixie" represents all of those things the South would should be attempting to lay aside. 'Dixie' gives unrecon- structed Southerners something of the past ot cheer and there certainly is little in the past of the South about which anyone should wish to cheer." The morning after the edi- torial appeared, a big banner reading "Dixie Forever" ap- peared on a smokestack on the campus. Students rose at break- fast in the cafeteria to sing "Dixie." A A News MOCKINGS Opinion Poll Indicates FROM Good Drive Response RAMONA by Ann Teat iil SOPHOMORE "WENCH" MARY ROGERS lights the candles on her table for the Tom Jones dinner presented Friday night; the evening was completed by such touches as "wine," costumed waitresses, napkins tucked in at the neck, and an uproarious Upton Inn skit. That night some 600 students gathered between two dormi- tories and began singing the song. Half of them moved on to the newspaper office after a student counsellor confiscated a bull horn and told the demon- strators to move on. They gathered outside the of- fice and shouted for the edi- tors to appear. They even bur- ned copies of the paper on the doorstep. The crowd grew and then marched to the state capitol, only blocks away, singing "Di- xie" all the while. Marches on the capitol are a traditional form of protest on the Raleigh am pus. During the march to the capi- tol, one Confederate flag-wav- ing student announced that the editorial had "disgraced" the state. The state takes particu- lar pride in its motto, he said, which is "First at Bethal, far- thest at Gettysburg, last at Appomattox." Holmes, a native of Raleigh, said, "We've had a lot of let- ters, about two-thirds of them against us. The phone hasn't quit ringing, and some of the profanity and threats we're get- ting would put a sailor to shame." The following responses to the question "What is your opinion of the Red Cross Blood Drive sponsored by Athletic As- sociation?" were obtained after the hall discussions of the blood drive February 17 by members of the A. A. board: Elaine Harper: "I'm for it. It's not only for Agnes Scott. On the overall, my giving is a small move towards fulfilling a larger need." Jean Jarrett: "I think it's good to do it under the rea- sons that A. A. has stated. It shows we have interest in other things than our campus." Ann Roberts: "I think the blood drive in general a good idea-especially good to involve college students because they are a large group in the country but they seldom provide their quota." Heather Roberts: "It is really a pitiful attempt at charity. With so much suffering in the world this is a small thing to do.'" Cupie Pulignano: "It gives the students a chance to give of themselves, to do something for other people. I'm glad that I have an opportunity to do it." Susan Thomas: "It's a chance to give and you can't lose any- thing by it." Claire Allen: "It's a good project - an unusual project- something most people wouldn't do unless the opportunity were provided." Prentice Fridy: "I think it's really fine. It takes us out of our own world and makes us think of something bigger." Joy Griffin: "I am in favor of the way the blood drive is being handled. I would object to its being run as a campaign." Poppy Wilson: 'The blood drive is really worth while for people to do something definite. Fine words don't count only thing that means anything is actually giving blood." Best Sellers Ficti on 1.

Well, they were in place at last at the Tom Jones din- ner. It was really terrific. All Junior Jaunt was great. I have a new idol Bat Agnes. I'm starting a fan club. The neatest thing happened. I was so thrilled to receive a form about computer dating. I think that's a really cool idea. I sent in five different forms, each giving me a dif- ferent personality. I figured I was bound to come up with something. I did. Would you believe Al Pope? Irony of iro- nies. I also got one date with a girl on my hall and another with the computer. There were a few neat people in the group. One junior execu- tive of an advertising agency. One garbage man. We had a lovely date in his garbage truck. I met one really sharp guy who has just been drafted. (May- be he enlisted after meeting me). I'll have someone to write to at least. Actually I was ra- ther disappointed. I guess Mr. Brown didn't send a form. A funny thing happened on the way to the Hub. I met Virginia Russell who had just turned in her Tog? Jones, and Jesus papers. She had just realized she got a little confused. She wrote on the miracles of Tom Jones and English country life in the gospel. She drowned her sorrow in a Hub crap game for the rest of the day. I want to ask you a big fa- vor, Mom. You may think my ideas for Spring Vacation sound a- bit far-fetched, but we have all the plans made perfectly, so I know you'll say I can go. We've made all the reserva- tions on bus, train, plane, heli- copter, ferry, dog sled, and steamboat. We just have to get a confirmation on the canoe trip down the Ohio. We're leaving the minute exams are over. Then, first to Daytona since everyone goes to Florida Spring Vacation. Then we'll zip up to New York, on through Canda to Detroit. One of the party wants to go to her brother's wedding, so we'll drop down to San Anto- nio. I hope to slip into Mexi- co while we're there. We'll stay one night in New Orleans on the way back. And we'll definitely be back Mon- day morning in time for clas- ses. I had planned to hop over to London to see a friend, but since one girl has an exam Saturday, that cuts one day off the trip. I realize it sounds am- bitious, Mom, but I know we can do it. Tell Butch I hope to see him as I go through. Love to all, Ramona THE PROFILE MARCH S, 1966 a PAGE 5 Independent Study Chemistry Student Explores Two Nickel-Nicon Complexes by Kay Broadwater A new organic compound produced by Easman Kodak Company named 1,2,3, cyclohexanetrionetrioxime (nicknamed Ni- con) has been found by other independent study students under the direction of Dr. W.J. Frierson to react with nickel, cobalt, copper and iron to give highly colored compounds called complexes, which have been useful for the colorimetric identifi- cation of these metals. Although these new colored compounds have been used in this way, the formulas and structures of them have been unknown. Some work has been done toward determining their structures, but the evidence obtained has been insufficient to arrive at anything de- finite. For my independent study I have been working mainly with the Nickel-Nicon com- plexes. It had previously been found that two forms of this compound could be iso- lated one red in color and the other green the color of the complex obtained depend- ing simply upon the order in which the two components were mixed; that is, upon the relative concentration of each component in the solution at any given time. One of the major goals of this project is to determine the structual difference in the two forms of this complex or chelate. Because of extreme difficulty in working with these two complexes, experimental pro- cedures are usually long and arduous but very rewarding when a positive result ap- pears and it does eventually. The two compounds are virtually insolu- ble in any of the common organic solvents as well as in any other chemical solvent in which they were examined, with the green form having a tendency to change into the red form in the presence of any water or water- containing compounds. Since many chemical procedures are carried out in solution, this is a major dif- ficulty. The red compound, being not quite so contrary as die green one and soluble to a very limited extent in water, has been fairly well characterized through spectro- photometric methods, including a determina- tion of the ratio of the number of moles of metal iron to the number of moles of or- ganic reagent. This week our expectations on this com- pound were verified within experimental error when results from a quantitative analy- sis supported the proposed composition C12 H16N606 Ni for the compound. The green compound is much more dif- ficult to interpret. Attempts to determine absorption data have been complicated thus far by its extreme insolubility. But the dif- ference in the infrared spectra, obtained by using a solid disk as a medium, of the two forms seem to indicate that I am definitely dealing with two compounds not just with different structures of the same compound. I hope that by further interpretation of spectral results on both forms, a quanti- tative analysis of the green form, and com- parison with theory and known complexes of both nickel and related complexing rea- gents to deduce the composition, structure, and probable bonding mechanism of the Nickel-Nicon complexes. Colder Teaches Many People About Stars "Dear, Mr. Calder We love you for helping us learn about stars from your Blue Bird Valentines-.. ."Nine signatures are at the bottom of this valentine made of white paper and a red, heart-shaped paper doily. If it seems incongruous for the chairman of the Physics Department to receive and be proud of such a valentine, you don't know Dr. Calder. The Blue Birds is just one of many groups who appreciate the monthly "open night" in Brad- ley Observatory. Sometimes hundreds of people come for Dr. Calder' s tour and look out of the two or three telescopes at the moon or plantes. "Open night" is held the second Fri- day of the month. Also meeting at Bradley Ob- servatory monthly, usually the third Friday of the month, is The Astronomy Club. The club, S^anized many years ago, now has about 200 members. It's a diversified group rang- ing from housewives to doctors and scientists, many of whom are avid amateur astronomists. The president of the group is from Lockheed. Right now the club has a "hot line" to N. A. S. A., to report their findings on a new moon- beam project. There has been reported a red coloration on the moon the nature of which is not yet understood. Members of the club are observing from Bradley with a special instru- ment on loan from N.A.S.A. Bradley Observatory itself is "one of the best collegiate ob- servatories in the world, for the purpose of undergraduate by Justice Waldrop study," states Dr. Calder. "Many people ask why have such a good observatory at a small woman's college. Why not?" he asks. As a legiti- mate area of study, astronomy warrants proper equipment. The telescope was purchased in 1949 and the observatory was dedicated the following year. Dr. McCain procured money for the observatory from va- rious sources including the Bradley Foundation. Twenty thousand dollars was contribut- ed by the Beck Foundation. But even before Bradley was built, students took astronomy. Back in "the good ole days" they studied the sky, using Dr. Calder's own five inch tele- scope, on the athletic field. "I miss it, sort of," Dr. Cal- der reminisced. "We had some good times." For students who want to see the stars "in style," the ob- servatory is USUallv nrv-n rw<% nights every week, depending on the weather. Lights along the' path are an indication that it is open. Morehouse President Speaks In Convocation Morehouse President Dr. Benjamin E. Mays will speak in convocation Wednesday, March 9. Dr. Mays holds A.B. and D.D. degrees from Bates College, and MA and PH.D. from U. of Chicago. He is the author of several books in the field of religion and race relations, the latest being The Christian In Race Relations. Dr. Mays, who is listed in the current edition of "Who's Who," was a delegate to the first assembly of the World Council of Churches. He has been a member of the US national commission for UNESCO, he is on the national advisory council to the Peace Corps, and is a member of the U.S. Advisory Committee for the UJSJ.

Audiences Participate In Loud Performance AUDIENCES, When the house lights go down on a concert to- day, reports "Time," The Weekly Newsmagazine, it is of- ten the audience that strikes up the overture. It is a kind of barnyard symphonette. // The Hummer and the Time Beater serve as the rhythm section. ff The Cellophane Cr inkier and the Program Rattler handle the solos. // In the percussion section, the principal performers arc the Bracelet J angler and the Premature Clapper. // Special effects are contri- buted by the Knuckle Cracker and the Watch Winder. '# The Coughers' Chorale is directed by the Dry-Throated, Red-Nosed Hacker, whose feeb- lest lead always gets a resound- ing antiphonal response. // The entire performance is choreographed by Fidgeter, produced and upstaged by that notorious team of Latecomer and Earlyleaver. ARTISTIC RETALIATION ff To teach latecomers a les- son, Stokowski once had his musicians wander idly off-and- onstage while playing a Mozart symphony. Another time he turned to the audience and con- ducted the coughers: "All right, cough!" he commanded. "I want a rhythmic cough I Make it louder!" ff Classical Guitarist Andres Segovia recently stopped a per- formance in Chicago, whipped out an enormous handkerchief, and honked and wheezed along with the audience. // Jascha Heifctz prefers the withering glare or, if things get too bad, departure. // The late Sir Thomas Bee- cham was even less subtle, once whirled on the podium and roar- ed; "Shut up, you fools!" SUGGESTIONS // As for the dreaded cello- phane crinklcr, critics rec- ommend that mute fruit something nice and quiet like bananas should be sold at intermissions instead of candy. // Conductor Eugene Orman- dy, who has been jolted from his sleep by a radiator whistling off- key, recently requested that women check their dangly bracelets before entering the concert hall. It would not be so bad, reports New York Times Critic Harold Schonberg, if "all the bracelets weren't different- ly pitched." // Schonberg is also bugged by serious types who lug music scores to the performance. They turn their pages in unison and sound "like a bunch of locusts going through a wheat- field." // To help separate himself from such extraneous noises, one Manhattan concertgoer cups two programs to his ears. // The audience-participation show, suggests Metropolitan Opera Director Rudolf Bing, is the result of "a general de- terioration of manners every- where, spurred by the Beatles and similar creatures." He should know. Met audiences often seem better suited for Ringo than Rossini. Wake e/P, o Decadent Ann eric d / z o I'm h*T?y .

But Franconia College in New Hampshire is experi- menting with a new admission system that's designed to let a student start "clean." The basis for the system is that the student makes the de- cision for admission himself. Franconia, a small liberal arts college, has invited every third person inquiring about admission to participate in the experiment. If he agrees to do so, the student sends his ad- missions application to a neu- tral consultant from Boston or Brandeis University. The consultant keeps the ap- plication completley confiden- tial and notifies Franconia of- ficials only if there is an ex- treme academic or medical problem. The student is then invited to visit the school and to, in a small way, become involved in the student life. He lives in the dormitories, is given ample op- portunity to talk to students, and attends classes that in- terest him. After this visit, if the stu- dent feels Franconia is where he wants to go to college all he does is inform the school of his decision. He will auto- matically be "accepted" on the basis' of his decision alone if there is room in the student body. During the entire process, the college does not ask the stu- dent to give them any informa- tion about his background, aca- demic or otherwise, that he does not want to reveal him- self. Robert G. Greenway, direc- tor of educational research at the college and designer of the study, said, "By allowing stu- dents to come in 'clean' we hope to try to break the vicious cir- cle of academic success or failure which frequently results when students are judged on the basis of their past record." Periodically, during their stay at Franconia, the students will be studied and their aca- demic record will be analyzed to determine the outcome of the study. Forest fires cripple the South s largest source of PLEASURE and BUSINESS ft HELP SMOKEY BEAR PREVENT FOREST FIRES IN THE SOUTH Dr. Greenway said he hopes that these students will feel a higher obligation to learn and a more candid relationship with the school than if they had been admitted in the conventional way. Those who might normally have expected to have been weighted down by their high school record can now optimis- tically look to the next four years, Greenway said. He said it is debatable whether the study will be a success but called it "an interesting and open- minded approach." Greenway predicated that the study would prove students who have defined their goals more carefully after an earlier fail- ure can succeed in college and go on to successful careers in graduate schools. He points out it will be sometime before any conclusions can be drawn. Dana Gives Classrooms To Berry Berry College will presently feel a kindred indebtedness with Agnes Scott to the philanthro- pist Charles A. Dana for an addition to their campus. Berry College is a coeduca- tional institution in Mount Berry, Georgia. In the near future a new multi-purpose classroom building will be con- structed. Completion of this project is planned for Septem- ber, 1967, "to help meet in- creasing enrollment demands and further strengthen the pro- gram at the college," President John R. Bertrand said. The initial funds for the build- ing came as a $315,000 chal- lenge gift by Charles A. Dana, a leading U.S. industrialist and philanthropist who resides in Wilton, Connecticut. The Berry College trustees met the chal- lenge and raised the matching funds, with the help of a grant from the U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare. Berry College was previously indebted to Mr. Dana on two accounts. He made a challenge offer which resulted in the building of Dana Hall, opened in 1959. Again in 1962 he es- tablished the Dana Scholarpro- gram. (Agnes Scott's own Fine Arts building, opened this year, 1965-66, is another example of Mr. Dana's diversified philan- thropic works.) Student Group Plans Road Show For Vietnam WASHINGTON (CPS) A group of students from three Washington universities has won approval from the State Department of an idea to show soldiers in Vietnam that "stu- dents care." The students are organizing a road show and will go to Vietnam, at goverment expense, in either April or June. Final word fromthe State Department on the script for the show and whether the group will tour immediately after graduation in June has not come through as yet. Two scripts have been pre- pared and the State Department will decide which one is to be used. One is a straight musi- cal comedy on the "boy meets girl" theme and the other is a series of shorts based on the 'That Was the Week that Was" format. The idea originated with Bob Johnson, an American Univer- sity junior, who decided stu- dents "should do something" about Vietnam. The idea came, he said, after a series of pe- titions went around the AU cam- pus last November. Johnson took his idea to se- veral professors and one of them presented it to Presiden- tial assistant McGeorge Bun- dy. Bundy referred the matter to the Vietnam desk of the State Department, and Johnson appeared before the Psycholo- gical Warfare Committee, the multi-agency group that han- dles such matters relating to war zones. The committee was favorably impressed and recommended the idea, and the official invi- tation came from the U.S. am- bassador to South Vietnam, Henry Cabot Lodge. Auditions are now being held to fill the cast of the road show at American, Georgetown University and Howard Univer- sity. A cast of about 65 will eventually be chosen and a staff of 11 will also make the trip. The number of performances and the itinerary has yet to be decided by the State Depart- ment.

Refuse To Attend Classes CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (CPS) Twenty five Harvard medical students say their lectures are dull and a waste of time, so they're being excused from class and told to study on their own. "The lecture system just doesn't work out," says An- drew Weil, 23, of Philadelphia, a second-year student at the Harvard Medical School. "The psychological effect of sitting in a class and being lectured and 'labbed' at is to make you passive, dull, lose motivation and curiosity," he said. Weil is a leader of the student group that petitioned Dean Robert H. Ebert to be excused from classes for the rest of the year. Weil said medical schools are throwing too many or- ganized laboratory sessions and too many lectures at their me- dical students. Ebert agreed to excuse the 24 students from the lectures and laboratories. He said if anyone is "really going to ex- cel at anything, he must con- tinue with his own education, and a university must have the abi- lity to stimulate a person to study in a particular field that he could only survey superfi- cially in school." The 25 students are part of a 106 - member class studying pathophysiology, a combined approach to diseases and their effect on the body. They will be divided intc groups of five to devise their own learning techniques with the help of volunteer faculty ad- visers. They will take the same ex- amination as their 81 class- mates and will attend whatever lectures interest them. Doctors' Service Certain WASHINGTON (CPS ) A shortage of doctors in the Arm- ed Forces means that in the future a new MD will find it very difficult to avoid service, especially with increased re- quirements during the Vietnam war. In a move to accelerate the induction of doctors the Secre- tary of Defense has announced procedures that will require each Army examining and en- trance station to eliminate 90 percent of its backlog of phy- sicians within a few months. After that time, each station is expected to have completed and processed the papers of any physician eligible for induction within three days of receiving them. The army said that any phy- sician who has graduated from a U.S. medical school is likely to be inducted shortly there- after.

It includes trade books, bod hard and soft cover, textbooks encyclopedias, consumer mag- azines, trade (industry) mag- azines, newspapers, house or- gans, comics, greeting card manufacturers, technical re- port writing, abstracting -- anything actually that has to do with the printed word 0 One of the most coveted fields for the erudite, however, is trade book publishing. This in- cludes fiction and non-fiction books published by such illus- trious houses as Doubleday, Harper & Row, and Random House. In the editorial divisions, col- lege graduates are indeed very much in demand.

Woodcuts, Etchings Dana Exhibit Topic by Janice Weatherby The 'inhabitants" of the art gallery in Dana for the past week have been the various graphic art works from private collec- tions. Graphic art is the "new thing" in the art world. The graphic art display in Dana con- sists of lithographs, etchings and wood cuts. Ben Smith, a teacher at the Atlanta Art university, conduct- ed an informal lecture in the galleries of Dana Sunday, Feb. 13. He told the guests that wood cutting has "become some- thing that rivals painting." Mr. Smith then led the visi- tors upstairs to give a demon- stration in the process of wood cutting. A wood cut is a print that is produced from a block of wood that has the design carved out. Ink is then applied to the rais- ed area of the carved block of wood, and a print is made from this. The whole process is a very meticulous and time-consum- ing one. The making of the block from which the print is to be made is similar to "intri- cate carpentry, only much more," says Bunny Foster, an art major doing special study in wood cutting. In the past lithography and etching have been considered more as a commercial med- ium. From each block can be made a number of prints - each being an "original" in itself. It is possible to get as many as 100 etchings from one plate. Lithography, also grew out of a practical application* Mr. Smith emphasized, however, that not only lithography, but all the graphic arts have de- parted from commercialism. Included in the display at Dana are the works of such ar- tists as Georges Rouault, Hon- ore Daumier and Ferdinand Warren. Mr. Smith particular- ly liked one lithograph by Rou- ault. "Something this simple, yet so fine," was his comment as he pointed to the lithograph "Veil of Veronica." UNC Slates Seminar "Man, Mind and Myth: The Conditioned Society" will be the topic for the fourteenth pre- sentation of the Carolina Sym- posium in Chapel Hill this spring. During the week of April 17-21, speakers such as Walter Kaufmann, Daniel Boorstin, Ralph Ellison, Morris K.Udall, and Tom Wolfe will particiapte in an examination of the forces of myth, and its role in shaping society's values. An integral part of the Sym- posium will be the Intercolle- giate Seminar, which brings together selected students from many colleges and universities. Those chosen to participate arc- given a unique opportunity to explore the topic in depth in small, informal discussions with the Symposium speakers of the day.

The student panel, composed of Mary Brown, Jan Gaskell, Bonnie Jo Henderson, Joan Ki- ker, Betty Rankin, and Debbie Rosen, gave a brief summary of their board's activities for the year and then answered questions. Joan informed alumnae of the three new projects of AA, the blood drive, the self-de- fense course, and the pool table project. Jan spoke on the James Ross McCain Lectureship Fund and explained the ideas and pur- poses behind the independent study program. Former Scott students were particularly interested in Mary Brown's discussion of the new projects of Christian Associa- tion in the Decatur area and the outlined plans for Holy Week chapels. Bonnie Jo and Betty discussed the increased interest of stu- dents in artistic and social activities. Student Body President Deb- bie Rosen explained Agnes Scott's role in the "Affirma- tion: Vietnam" program and re- lated its success. In the question and answer period that followed two topics were of particular interest. They were the independent study program and Bonnie Jo's play. When asked what their study topics were, students said they were working on everything from math to getting married this summer.

Baileys Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Phone DR-3-0172 stant recruitment ior highly motivated career-oriented wo- men. However, the majority of jobs do call for good typing speeds, and a great many of the jobs also call for stenography. Just about any job offered in publishing to a college grad should be regarded as a ste|>- ping stone. Whether the job is tided trainee (usually requir- ing steuo of about 80 and/or very good typing), gal Fri- day, secretary, editorial as- sistant, proofreader, or even clerk-typist, the alert person will be in an ideal position to saturate herself with publish- ing know-how and step along on the career ladder. Companies make every at- tempt not to hire a college graduate on a "dead-end" job. It is much too expensive to constantly retrain and recruit new personnel, if job and can- didate are not mutually satis- fying. On the other hand, the personnel manager cannot al- ways give a ready answer to the question of "where will it lead." So much is up to die individual. (i row I h Experience has proven that an eager interested person cre- ates rather than fits into an existing job. There is always room for growth and change. Much of this depends upon the individual. We have seen the same job handled quite differently by two people. One young lady quit an editorial assistant position af- ter three we. ks of trial stating flatly that there was no poten- tial. The second girl on the job found it fascinating from the day she entered, was promoted within six months, and a year later called us for an assistant to herself. Her salary had doubled within twelve months. Although editing is consider- ed by many as the only job worth having in publishing, such a conclusion is both shortsight- ed and ill-founded. The adver- tising department of publishing calls for a facility with words that out-creates the editorial department. The publicity department uses bodi writing and contact talent. Part of the job generally con- sists of taking authors out to lunch, arranging TV and radio appearances and writing inter- esting stories about the books published by your company. The administration depart- ment sees the manuscript through the various stages of copyright and permissions. The production department puts the book together in the form that reaches your hands. Sales correspondence calls for ability to wrate letters that will sell books. All of these departments call for special skills and abilities, most of Decatur and North Decatur which can be learned on the job. l^ach in its own right is interesting and challenging. Another large area of pub- lishing is the magazine field. This is, m fact, far larger than book publishing. Essentially magazine pub- lishing covers consumer, trade (read by people in a specific industry such as engineering, food, drug, management, etc.) and house organs which are company or organization pub- lications for the benefit of mem- bership or staff. K r<| u i rrmrnl An important requirement for jobs in diese fields is sum j edi- torial work on a college news- paper or literary magazine. The more one has to show in actual work experience during college, the more one is apt to land an editorial job. An editor of a college paper can almost choose her position, but since you all cannot be edi- tors, any experience from writ- ing to proofreading is consid- ered an asset. Summer jobs on horn j town papers are also considered valid experience. An editorial assistant may do any job from writing fea- tures, reporting, copy-editing and proofreading to produc- tion. Typing is an asset, but it is not always essential.. How- ever, since speed and dead- lines are constant in these areas of publishing, typing is much more help than hindrance. Majjazinrs As with book publishing, die field of magazine publishing does not end with editorial of- fice. Here too, there is need for publicity, copywriting, produc- tion and sales correspondence. On some of the women's mag- azines, there are positions that call for a knowledge of fashion and merchandising. The per- son with these qualifications would handle the back-of-the book section that gives infor- mation on new products and new developments. Other mag- azines have begun to use young women as sales representa- tives. Both consumer and trade magazines have a special de- partment to take care of circu- lation. A creative writing abil- ity combined with a sales sense is extremely important for cir- culation. Production may include the make-up of editorial pages and the lay-out of advertisements, as well as all the activity con- cerned with printing the paper. No talent, however small, is wasted in publishing. All you need is that "in." Then you can do the rest.

Complain consistently about the cafe- teria food, rising grill prices, patrolling housemothers, standards chairmen, and li- quor laws. Be sure to develop the proper glib tone in discussing these issues; for instance, "Gad, but this jello looks like swampscum." 2. At the same time, be sure not to get involved in any organized action to change anything you've complained about or make any constructive suggestions. Decry organi- zers as "rabble rousers" or "publicity seekers." 3. Decide what's cool and what's not. Then gather a group of friends and cut down people who aren't by your definition "cool." 4. In debate or argument, grant the other side several points but insist that everyone recognize your rights as well. Remember that putting the blame on who started the trouble is more important than ending the argument. 5. Dtvelop an arsenal of gross jokes and remarks and laugh it up. 6. (a) Assume people are bastards at heart and that cutting one another underhandedly is normal procedure. Above all, don't try to act better than the "bastards." Remember: be realistic. Label anyone who proffers an idea for improvement as an impractical idea- list. (b) Or, if you favor the idealistic ap- proach, demand immediate improvements. Join a marching and singing society. Ad- ministrative restrictions and peace in Viet Nam are good subjects. But watch out for compromises that might undermine your chances of achieving your goal. 7. Decide (a) God is dead or (b) you can't prove anthing. And be ready with proof of either view to last through an all-night bull session. 8. Adopt the theory of free love. Discuss with a member of the opposite sex the psy- chological crippling created by society's re- strictions on sex. Convince her to join you in building a more honest society. Believe in Hugh Hefner as a prophet of our times. These are the tenets of the faith of sopho- m or ism. They foster a faith of noncommit- ment. Under them the "sophomore" whines about minor nuisances but does not act to correct them. He often ignores important issues, or he protests for world reform without adding the day-by-day compromise the true reformer uses. The "sophomore" does not know people, especially those who are different. He knows only the shell of the cool and the non- cool. In sexual relations, he regards both him- self and his partner merely as objects and so creates a new dishonesty. He argues that one unprovable belief is as good as the next, but he lacks the true agnostic's constant study of belief. His psuedo-philosophizing can keep him from commitment to any faith that demands action. And even if his world is bastardly, must he contribute to the bastardliness? Sophomorism is a faith without works, and both the faith and its followers are dead. Jay Broad Directs For Theatre Atlanta Theatre Atlanta is holding its first repertory season this year, 1966-67.

THE ROFILE VOLUME LII NUMBER 19 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 APRIL 7, 1966 Ellen Douglass Leyburn Professor Leyburn "She showed us how to live: with dignity and with courage; "and she i showed us how to j die, with these same qualities," says Miss Mary Boney of Miss El-! 1 len Douglass Leyburn, who died March 21, 1966. Miss Leyburn received her A. B. degree from Agnes Scott in | 1927 and her M. A. from Rad- cliffe the fol- lowing year. She taught at Buffalo Seminary from 1929 to 1932. received her Ph.D from Yale in 1934 and came to Agnes Scott that year as an in- structor in English. She became assistant professor in 1938, as- sociate professor in 1943, full professor in 1957. In 1965 she was appointed chairman of the English Department. For many years she served as faculty marshall. She was a member of Phi Beta Kappa and served as president of the Beta of Georgia chapter. She alsc belonged to the Interna- tional Institute of Arts and Letters, the Mod- ern Language Association, and the English In- stitute. Her numerous publications include two books, Satiric Allegory: Mirror l Man, published in 1956, and a new work on tragedy and comedy in Henry James which is now in the hands of the publisher. Miss Boney writes, "From the time I first heard of her, in letters more than two decades ago from a freshman captivated by her clas- ses, Ellen Douglass Leyburn's name has meant to me the utmost in integrity in teach- ing. "Her devotion to God through service to Agnes Scott College was the mainspring of her life, and her investment in the lives of both students and colleagues has been uncal- culable. She was one of those rare per- sons whose uncompromising standards made us all want to do better than our best, and whose compassion with failure inspired us to get up and start again." "It is too soon and too personal to write of our bereavement," writes Mrs. Drucker, "But I can write with joy soma of what Miss Ellen Douglass Leyburn has meant to Agnes Scott College and to her associates. . . . "It would have been unthinkable to boast or to pretend with Miss Leyburn. You had only to be honest. 'There was, however, nothing very modest about her enthusiasm for Agnes Scott. Her commitment was never blind, but it was to- tal. She bristled when someone referred to Agnes Scott as a 'school' instead of a "collegel' " Miss Leyburn always managed to make something other than excellence in college matters be the issue; she made us expect excellence as a given." As Honor Emphasis Week speaker in 1962 - 63, Miss Leyburn spoke about The Plague by Albert Camus. 'The sinister forces working against our real integrity are as powerful and as pervasive and as sly in attack as the bacillus of the plague and are present in every false assumption and prejudiced conclusion we let go unexamined," she said. "We may never be able to wipe out the plague; but in the clarity of thought and the moral courage we bring to bear in combating it, consists our every identity, our integrity, as human beings and opportunity to make such identity possible for others. I should like to leave with you for pondering in relation to your own goals, Tarrou's quiet statement that it is necessary not to be a bearer of the plague." As Mrs. Drucker concludes, 'Through the integrity of her life, Miss Leyburn has given us a living legacy, the legacy of our personal growth in committment to the vitali- ty of Agnes Scott College and to simple human values." Two Indian Educators Visit Scott Campus This Week Dr. M. Chandy, principal of Miranda House, University Col- lege for Women in Delhi, India, and Miss B. Das Gupta, prin- cipal of Indraprastha College for Worn en in Delhi arrived he re Monday, April 4. They are visit- ing Agnes Scott through Friday, April 8, as part of the United- States-India Women's College Exchange Program. While in the United States, Dr. Chandy and Miss Das Gupta will visit seven of the program's participating colleges. Mrs. Phillip, who was visit- ing professor of political science during the fall quarter, was here as a part of this pro- gram. During the next school year in India, Miss Groseclose will be teaching biology at Mi- randa House in connection with this program. As biologist and philosopher, respectively, Dr. Chandy and Miss Das Gupta have been in- terested in the science and philosophy classes they have been attending during their visit. In addition, Dr. Chandy and Miss Das Gupta have met with various members of the admini- stration and faculty and also with student government lea- ders. Their particular interests are in finding out the areas of responsibility of faculty com- mittees, how a curriculum is obtained and changed, and how students are selected. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11) Winners Happy With Fellowships by Virginia Russell Ask Jan Gaskell how she feels about her Woodrow Wilson Fellowship and she'll reply with a smile, "I feel fine about it." More seriously, she ad- mits that the award is somewhat frightening. 'That's a lot of money to be handed." Mary Brown is undoubtedly quite pleased with hers, but she is more likely to look worried about it. When one of her friends suggested that she think really hard about which school she will go to, she retorted, "What else do you think I do all day?" "It was really frightening. We all were afraid that one of us wouldn't get it (the fellow- ship). I think we're almost happier for each other than for ourselves." Debbie Rosen also supplied information about the fellowships themselves. Woodrow Wilson Fellowships are given to college seniors proficient in their majors who are going into college teach- ing. The student's tuition is paid for a year and he is given $2,000 in addition (by the foundation). The college at which he attends graduate school also receives money. Students are recommended by their department heads. This year, out of 11,000 nationwide applications, 1400 fellows were chosen. CA Chapel Programs Celebrate Holy Week Christian Association has had several events planned in cel- ebration of Holy Week. Monday, the Spelman Glee Club presented a program of Easter music in Gaines Audi- torium. A choral reading, "Indif- ference" was given Tuesday in Dana's theatre. It was ac- companied by music and dance, the music being written by Rich- ard Hensel of Agnes Scott's faculty. Nancy Bruce was di- rector of the production. Convocation yesterday was given by the Agnes Scott Dance group. It was a worship service of Psalms and hymns. Today's program is one of slides and music, and is about "Changing concepts of the cru- cifixion as seen in painting through the ages." SigridLyon is in charge of the arrangement of the slides. "Parable" will be shown to- morrow. This film was featur- ed in the World Council of Chur- ches pavilion at the New York World's Fair. Saturday's chapel will be a worship service led by Mary Brown. On Easter morning a: 7:30, a sunrise service will be held in the amphitheatre. Dr. Gar- ber will lead the worship. Fifty churches from the Decatur area have been invited to attend with Agnes Scott students. Zenn Addresses Phi Beta Kappa Convocation Miss Elizabeth Zenn, Agnes Scott associate professor of Greek and Latin, will speak at the 40th Phi Beta Kappa convo- cation Wednesday, April 13, on the classical tradition behind -Phi Beta Kappa. Following Miss Zenn's talk, the new initiates, chosen the day before, will be announced. These members of the senior class are chosen on a grade point basis. The class of 1966 is out- standing in that more people may be qualified than can be elected, for the number of ini- tiates is limited to 12 to 15 per cent of the total class. Phi Beta Kappa was first founded at William and Mary in 1776 as a secret social organi- zation. Mrs. Pepe will speak at the annual banquet in May. THE PR OFILE iJlirow, fjjLreW, Ukrow IJour Vote..

APRIL 7, 1966 The Ultimate Committee Administrative Committee plays a decisive role in changing student policies at Agnes Scott. Presently made-up of Dr. Alston, Dean Kline, Dean Scandrett, Miss Steele, Dr. Tumblin and Miss Ripy, Administrative Committee has the power of final approval on all "important" matters considered by Repre- sentative and Judicial Councils. Specifically, "important" matters affecting the whole college community. Although the Committee has no authority over minor penalties given by Judicial Council, matters concerning aca- demic probation, suspension, or expulsion must be reviewed by Administrative Committee. Dr. Alston comments that he thinks the Committee ought to have this final responsibility, because these matters affect not only the student, but also their families. The Administrative Committee acts primarily for the college. Dr. Alston also explains that the reason some students may think the Committee is slow is because many rule changes are first referred to other groups, such as the Dean's Staff. Ad- ministrative Committee then considers the recommendations made by both the student government and the Dean's Staff before making a final decision. In the past there have sometimes been student complaints about this committee. However, this year Administrative Com- mittee has worked with Rep. Council on the revision of many policies, including the drinking, chaperonage, and sophomore car policies. Only one recommendation by Rep. Council has failed to receive the approval of the Committee. This is an encouraging sign in the relationship between Rep. Council and Administrative Committee. In particular, we thank Admini- strative Committee for its cooperation in examining student government proposals. PROFILE In Perspective During spring vacation Susan Aikman, and Virginia Russell and I went to the Southern Regional meeting of the United States Press Association. Attended by over 70 students from the 13 state Southern Region, the convention was both enjoyable and practical. Although I must admit that the weekend's greatest excitement was seeing Julian Bond in the Americana lobby, I feel that we and, thereby, the. PROFILE, benefitted greatly. I stole some good ideas from other college journalists and I was inspired by their discussion to think of other ideas es- pecially appropriate for Agnes Scott. The most striking aspect of my response to the experience was seeing Scott in a completely new perspective. Never be- fore had I looked at our college from strictly the journalistic viewpoint and compared her with the strictly journalistic view of other colleges. We came out both better and worse in this new light. Filling out a questionnaire, I regretted saying what I consider true that being a PROFILE reporter carries low campus prestige. Another question listed a dozen issues and asked our editorial stand, if any. I was happy that we are free of some of the problems, such as shortage of parking space (and would you believe draft-card burning?) I was worried about our si- lence, both editorial and general, on other issues, such as the morality and availability of birth control pills. (On this par- ticular problem, many of our readers would doubtless be shocked.| The fact is, however, that, for better or worse, Agnes Scott students simply are not bothered, in large part, by the issues that concern many students. On the whole, I had more occasion to be proud than ashamed of Scott, particularly in a session entitled "The Editorial Page." The discussion centered on the unique and pecarious position of a campus editor: how much freedom of speech is truly his? A city administration must endure the existence and cri- ticism of a commercial press; a college administration can react by removing a student from his editorial position at the very least. And the amount of unconstitutional censorship that goes on on some campuses is appalling. A little news managing there, a little withholding of information here, but at Scott I have never encounted the like of non-student control that many papers must endure. Perhaps the PROFILE is so harmless, it needs no control. This I fed is unfortunate but in part true. The greater reason, however, is the general freedom of thought that exists at Scott. To m2, anything less than this freedom is fatal to both college and press . I am grateful for it here and shocked at its absence elsewhere. So what benefit to you is this convention and my thoughts about it? Hopfully, a great deal. We have specific ideas to put definite campaigns and studies to start, have a more abstract grounding, a new firmer attitude all of which are best contact and discussion with others who by Ann Roberts into practice, some More than that, we perspective, and a gained through such share our situation.

Alabama Politics Over spring holidays I attended the Big Jim Folsom for Governor Kick-Off Rally in Cullman, Alabama. He's big all right; about six feet eight inches tall, and wore a lime green suit with chartreuse tie and hand- kerchief ("because my mama was Irish). Jim says,' I started out with 40 acres, a plow, and a hard-tailed mule, and now look where I am." Alabama's ex-governor admits that he did a little drinking when he was "down there in Montgomery," but he says that was all due to a cerebral anurism ("a blowed out blood vessel on my brain), and now that the doctors have "cut on it," he has no more need for alcohol. "After all," he says, "no baseball player ever made any hits without making a few errors along the way." Jim had a large, attentive, placard bearing crowd. Squads of children stuck "Y'allCome" bumper stickers on all the cars. He told the crowd, "Every one of you people in this county has free and equal rights, and I help- ed give them to you." I looked all over Cull- man that day and didn't see one Negro. That, to Jim Folsom, is the definition of equal rights. Folsom has been running for governor of Alabama since the 1940's. He has won twice. He expects to win this election by making such quasipositive statements as his parting shot, "It may have clouded up when I was in that governor's office, but folks. ..it never rained." (Wild applause.) ^TOSS TO 1E>UTO53 Scott Grad Sents Team Gratitude Dear Editor: To the members of the win- ning College Bowl team: THANK YOU. I was getting very tired of this dialogue: University of Wisconsin stu- dent: "Where did you do your undergraduate work?" Me: "Agnes Scott College."

The Hooded Rapist Princeton Man Gives "Inside" Bowl Tale To The Editor: Although Princeton Seminary and Princeton University share the same name in the same town, the relation between the two can be called cordial but by no means intimate. Moreover, the Seminary has two students who claim a cer- tain Southern college for women as their alma mater. Therefore, I am not betray- ing my fellows by sharing with you a relatively inside picture of the wonderful event which hap- pened Sunday . (Scott's college Bowl victory over Princeton, of course.) During my usual Sunday af- ternoon trek to Princeton Uni- versity Firestone Library (ours was closed of course), I stopped by the PU Student Center to grab a bite to eat and watch the College Bowl. As the 5:30 hour grew near, "Whoever heard of Agnes Scott College?" was perhaps the most common joke as about three score grubby PU students jam- med themselves in the smoke- filled TV room before a huge color TV. As the girls from Agnes Scott College were announced, the names were barely audible amidst the roar of hisses and boos which permeated the room. The calm, confident PU team members were welcomed with joyous shouting as they pre- pared to slaughter the obviously nervous, trembling girls from that unknown Southern school. It looked like a runaway as the PU boys jumped to an early lead with gleeful grunts and raucous laughter from loyal supporters in the TV room. But waitl The Southern girls tied the score, then surged ahead to a 100-60 lead at the intermission. The atmosphere was tense and a pin-dropping silence flooded the room as the second half started. The Tigers regained their old form and soon claimed the lead. With renewed confidence the PU boys soared to a commanding 185-130 score, and the viewers relaxed as the game appeared to be in the bag. The team members from PU seemed to relax, too, and to forget about the buzzers.The girls responded to the final bar- rage of questions with great finesse. It was pure joy to hear Betty answer "Calvin" after the boys earlier had displayed such ignorance of Augustine and Luther. The irony of ironies and the crucial blow to the boys came as Scott shouted "Einstein" and the man doubtless rolled over in his grave. The halls of ivy turned from green to a shriveled brown. Al- bert Einstein, former Profes- sor of the Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, walked the streets of Princeton daily during the last years of his life, and his home is little more than a stone's throw from the Grad- uate College of Princeton Uni- versity. The boys from Princeton van- quished the girls from Mt. Holyoke (one of those top EASTERN girls schools) the week before, but there was no joy in Tigertown Sunday. Some comments I overheard were: 'The ignominy of it all I" "How humiliatingl" "Mmmmmmm.. c Like those Southern girlsl" "Whoever heard of Agnes Scott College?" is a question Princeton boys will ask no more.

THOMAS TRAVEL SERVICE, BOX 22?, GRIFFIN, GA. * Write us for names of Agnes Scott students PAGE THE PROFILE College Bowl Team Reveals Wild N ew York Adventure It is common knowledge that a little over four weeks ago our College Bowl team, made up of Katherine Bell, Betty Butler, Karen Gearrald, and Malinda Snow, Captain, went to New York to play against Princeton on General Electric's "College Bowl." It is also known that our team won, and returned to New York to play against Mar- ietta College the next week. But there are some things about both of these trips that up to now have not been known, except to a few. "Our Saturdays in New York were the most fun," says Ma- linda Snow, captain of the team. "Just being together was fun, and we weren't really thinking about College Bowl, it was noth- ing. After all, we'd been doing that for a long time." The team took almost ail their own food both weekends. Sflid Malinda. "We wanted to jm^ i by Carolyn Dahlem "Betty and I unhooked one of those big carts which the por- ters use and used it to get ail our luggage to the escalator," said Malinda, "and then we put it, one piece at a time on the escalator to get it upstairs." They finally arrived at their hotel in New York, and at 4 a.m. Miss Hutchens wanted a ham sandwich and a glass of milk. The girls walked, in the rain, to what they called "Shy- lock's Corner" to get it. Saturday, Malinda, Betty and Susan Thomas set out for the Metropolitan Museum. It was both "interesting and free." They saw knights in armor and bought some reproductions and prints. "We took our lunch and ate outside because you can't eat inside. We bought chestnuts and pretzels from a the next week. "It was almost as if we'd had a premonition." says Malinda. The team, except for Karen who was with her parents, spent some more time in Central Park. They went to the zoo and "saw some kind of sea lion which Susan Smetherst had nev- er seen before." "We saw this wonderful clock which is built into the city wall surrounding the park. At one o'clock all the animals started dancing and playing the "Anvil Chorus" on their instruments. I'm sure we looked like coun- try come to town to all the children who see it everyday," recalls Malinda. "A photographer from At- lanta Magazine went with us and was taking a picture of us on a bench, when a lady asked us if we were professional mod- els," said Malinda. Betty didn't hesitate to tell her they AN OVERFLOW CROWD OF HAPPY Scotties (and a sprinkling of Tech and Emory students) filled the Hub hours after the Scott victory over Princeton; returning team member Betty Butler (center right) read a telegram to the clapping crowd from Yale men, it said "Congratulations on your glorious victory! "This was the climax of an evening which began with the College Bowl Program, songs at the airport, the motorcade back to Scott, adn ended in the Hub party cele- brating the victory. save our money for the more important things. We bought only one meal each weekend." The first weekend, it seems, it was a little foggy around New York, and so, impossible to land there. When the pilot announ- ced that they were having a lit- tle difficulty, Miss Hutchens, who was a little nervous any- way, did not run up and down the aisle, but sat even more rigidly in her seat than before, and flipped through her maga- zine even more vigorously. They landed at Dulles Inter- national and had a delightful drive to the train station. In- cidentally, they saw Robert Kennedy's house which, Malinda said, is "just like anybody else's house." They also got a glimpse of the White House. But the excitement had only begun. When they arrived at Pennsylvania Station at 2 a.m. there were no porters available. man in Central Park and then sat on the bench and ate, fed the chipmunks - one of the near-sighted little things bit my hand - and watched the little old ladies walking their dogs, which looked like deflated bal- loons," according to Malinda. Katherine spent all afternoon sitting in front of the Metropoli- tan Opera House until she final- ly got a ticket. Karen was contacted by a wo- man about recording for the blind so she spent the after- noon with her. The second Saturday was spent walking some 35 blocks. "We did more shopping the second week," said Malinda. "We went to a discount record store and bought the 'Fireworks Music' of Handel. Then to the Frick Gallery where we saw The Portrait of the Doge of Venice'. Both the rqusic and the painting were on the show- were not. Since Miss Groseclose had prepared most of the food for the trips, the team decided to bring a little something back for her. They found a little shop where candles in the shape of Easter eggs are made and "painted very beautifully and delicately." They bought one and Susan Thomas carried it the rest of the day in a paper bag. Well, when they decided to go back to the hotel they tried to catch a bus. Katherine jumped on a crowded bus and the driver, not seeing Susan, closed the door with the egg on the bus and the rest of the bag and Susan still standing on the curb. It's no wonder the people on the bus looked a lit- tle confused when Susan kept yell ing , "My egg I My egg I " T he egg was rescued. Both Saturday nights every- one went to a restaurant, and 'THE TEAM" WAS GIVEN a send-off party in the Hub before their first departure for New York and the College Bowl pro- gram; laughs were provided by a hilarious "cheer" made especially for the Team and the antics of such "cheer- leaders" as Bronwen EXiKate (left) and Betty Derrick, who presented a typical half-time show from the sidelines of the crowded Hub. then divided up and saw a total of four plays. They ate at a little English restaurant next to the ice skat- ing rink in Rockefeller Center where Betty saved a little boy from a revolving door. The funniest thing of all hap- pened to Miss Hutchens. She was determined to find a cer- tain English- made overcoat while in New York. After going to several stores without any luck, she asked one of the salesmen where she could find the coat she wanted. He looked up the distributors and came back apologizing, "I'm sorry but the only distributor on the East Coast is in Atlanta." "I guess I haven't said much about College Bowl, have I?", Malinda apologized. "It was nothing, it was so short. It was a little saddening to see the Princeton team after we beat them. I felt sorry for them." When asked about the captain of the Princeton team and his apparent smugness during the show, she said, "We liked him. He was just nervous, I think, but after the show he kissed me and congratulated us. He came back the next week and tried to be so pleasant and kind, having experienced losing the week before." "He told us about living with seven boys in a suite at Prince- ton. They do their own cook- ing. Each makes a dish and they eat together. They gave us some recipes and Katherine is sending them hers for bread. It was one of those nice little moments that pops, in and pops out." Miss Carrington Wilson ac- companied the team to New York. She said, 'The girls were surprisingly composed and calm before the show. Of course, there was much ex- citement and jumping up and down afterwards." Work man Miss Wilson went back to the studio after the set had been removed. There was a work- man there sweeping the floor. As he pushed the broom, he mut- tered, "I just can't believe itl I just can't believe what those girls did to them Princeton boys I" Malinda said that she and Betty kept punching each other all the way home on the plane tp say, "Just five pointsl" It was a memorable, exciting, and sometimes unbelievable two weeks for everyone involved, all the Scott students and es- pecially the team. MD Speaks On Health And Future Sponsored by the University Center in Georgia, Dr. Edward R. Annis, medical doctor from Miami, Florida, and visiting scholar in physical education, is a guest on the Agnes Scott campus today. Dr. Annis will speak at 11:10 in MacLean auditorium on "Your Doctor Your Health and Your Future." During the class hours, Dr. Annis will ad- dress the physical education students. While in the Atlanta area, Dr. Annis will appear on the Emory and the University of Georgia campuses. The past president of the American Medical Asso- ciation, Dr. Annis is "a most outstanding speaker and in great demand in the United States on medical topics," according to Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, chair- man of the Agnes Scott physi- cal education department.

If the college has a clearly defined purpose, and I am not sure that it has, two important elements of this purpose are the achievement of a liberal arts education for each student and the strengthening of a Christian faith in each student. Perhaps, in the past, students who have attended Agnes Scott have understood and accepted these two purposes. Because these avowed purposes influence each student here today, I feel that, as part of student government's program, there is a need to discuss the value and the meaning of a liberal arts college and an emphasis on the Christian faith at Agnes Scott. I feel that a large segment of the present student body is not actively seeking a broad education and does not accept the Christian religion. Therefore, I think it is the student body president's responsibility to open a forum for discussion in an effort to bring Agnes Scott's image and the true spirit of the campus into closer accord. Potentialities The potentialities of Agnes Scott as a dynamic intel- lectual and social community are very great, and yet, have existed largely unrealized. Many students and many faculty members have had the heartbreaking ex- perience of listening to a bright student who is trans- ferring to another college explain that she feels closed in at Agnes Scott and that she feels herself losing the intellectual interest and excitement which she brought with her to the college. This situation is deplorable, but has occurred over and over again. I feel that there are two main ways to improve a campus which is composed of students who smile and speak to each other but who feel cut off from any real communication with each other. The first way is to increase the students* voice and power in the adminis- tration of the college and the second is to spend less (CONTINUED ON PAGE 9) Wilkins Plans Concentration On Academics Exchanges JUDY ROACH To accomplish the purposes and goals of student government, it is necessary to develop a structure that will insure efficiency in serving the needs of the com- munity. However, structure is only part of any or- ganization even a structure like Representative Coun- cil. Within the Agnes Scott community, Rep Council ser- ves as a vital liaison between the various organizations on campus and between the students and the adminis- tration. It is only a means of communication not an end in itself. In the final analysis, it is not structure but people and ideas that make a student government good or poor. The government on this campus must not only be by the people and for the people. It must be "of the people," expressing the philosophy and goals of the student body which forms the constituency and the college wherein the student government exists. Thus, in its endeavors the student government must commu- nicate with its student body, its administration, and the community at large. In the coming year, I would like to urge, then, a cultivation of bridges of communication both on the campus and in the Atlanta community, and an innova tion of channels where they do not already exist. Faculty Interplay On the campus, I would like to see more"student- faculty-administration interplay, with students aware of the student and faculty committees and channels that are available to meet their needs and with joint temporary committees for more open discussion of com- mon difficulties and concerns. One of the student committees that has been par- ticularly active in recent years with seminars, major nights, etc. is Curriculum Committee. This sphere of education is of interest to the entire academic com- munity and should be accentuated and broadened. In some cases, cultivation of the existing structure (CONTINUED ON PAGE 9) LYNNE WILKINS The role of student government is one which con- stantly alters, both because of the moving times and the changing character of the students who administrate it, but the basic aim remains that of preparing students to assume their roles as responsible citizens in society. The past three years have seen much reorganization and reworking of the structure and influence of student government in order to relate the college community more closely to the larger community in which we live. The past year has provided an immense step forward in opening channels of communication and in demon- strating our maturity in shaping and supporting major policies. Great Solidity Student government at Agnes Scott has achieved great solidity and rests on a very strong foundation, but it must go further if it is to merit validity. It can and must move outside rule changes and reorganization, or this past year will have proved to be a peak rather than an important beginning. It is in this broad area that I would like to see student government concen- trate its efforts for the coming year. There are two major directions which can provide positive steps in accomplishing this aim. The first of these involves the formulation of the academic environ- ment. Since education is the prime concern at Agnes Scott, students should take a vital interest in the meth- ods and implements used to accomplish this goal. I would like to see student government become an im- portant vehicle in expressing opinions on curricula, educational policy, and academic freedom. Curriculum Committee has worked very hard in this area, but it needs the support of student government and the entire student body before it can have an effective voice in any changes we would like to see made. Student government could assume more responsibility in supplementing the curricula by sponsoring convo- cations, symposiums, forums on important issues, and (CONTINUED ON PAGE 9) Two Seek House Council Post During the present year, House Presidents Council has worked quite hard, and the improved structure of the individual House Councils reflects this work. Our expanding campus places more demands on the dorms, and only a well-organiz- ed House Presidents Council will be able to cope with the new problems as they arise. If I were elected Chairman of House Presidents Council, I would try to continue the work begun this year and strengthen further the organization's foundations. JANE McCURDY PENNY PENLAND Because the House President is responsible for the girls and the activities in her dorm, she has a most important job, but one whose significance has often been overlooked in the past. This year, more than ever before, the House President has actualized the possibilities inherent in her office by working with the Senior Resident and Judicial members to create a more cohesive and efficient system. However, I would stress a closer relation- ship between the Senior Judicial Representative and the House Council. One obvious result of such a relationship would be a joint effort in dealing with losses. This year fire drills have been conducted in a more realistic manner than before. Although everyone hates to be waked up at 3 a.m., no one can question the validity of drills late at night. I think we would also benefit from some day-time fire drills and air-raid drills. Signing out in the dorms on week-nights has been a much-dis- cussed topic. Until it were feasible to install an elaborate check- out system, I would suggest allowing girls to sign out in the dorm on week-nights on pink slips. Unlike Friday and Saturday hostess duty, week-night hostess duty would require a girl's reporting to the desk at 11:30, making a list of those who are out, and calling the DO at 11:45. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 10) For the Chairman of House Presidents' Council, there is a two- fold responsibility, and the two aspects are complemen- tary, rather than contradictory: Organization and Flexibility. If the two can be brought together to mesh smoothly, the potential of the Council can reach a dynamic actualization. We can avoid the rigidity that often cripples an organization by maintaining a pliable struc- ture. The Council functions both as co-ordinating body for the living areas, with each other and with Rep Council and as the most di- rect and continuing link be- tween the Dean's Staff and the student body, a dual role which became clear to me only after a talk with Debbie Potts, the present Chairman. There must be an open means of channeling information back and forth between the Dean's Office and the students, between Rep Council and the living areas. This requires an established line of co-ordination. Yet, on matters such as the scheduling of phone co-op and the meeting of each House Council, there is no need for a mandatory uniform pattern. It is highly desirable for each Dorm Presi- dent to have the freedom to design certain tailor-made arrange- ments for her particular living area. Within such a flexible organization there are many possibili- ties. Dorms can plan their own uniqe parties or even have an after-the-dance breakfast. A new twist might be a dorm rum- mage sale for hats, sweaters, or stuffed animals. The operation of each House Council for next year will be great- ly facilitated by the change in the by-laws which will permit the Councils' members to be elected early in the fall quarter. Through the living areas there is a great opportunity for stu- dent evaluations of various campus activities to be funneled back to the Dean's Staff and to Rep Council. Making more extensive use of this channel could result in a more rapid communication of student opinion and in desired improvements. In short, it is my view that the potential of House Presidents' (CONTINUED ON PAGE 10) Wood Airs Conception Of Judicial In all elections, the center of attention is usually focused upon the candidates' personal quali- fications for the particular of- fices for which they are running; that such considerations should enter in choosing candidates for office goes without saying. As it is stated in our Pledge, the Agnes Scott student accepts the Honor System as her way of life within the larger context of Honor. Thus, above all in the choice of a Judicial Chairman, the Student Body has not only a right, but an obligation to con- sider the candidate's personal qualifications, especially with an eye to her conception of the responsibilities and attitudes of a body concerned with inter- preting and executing a code of (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11) ELLEN WOOD PAGE 6 APR IL 7, 1966 | THE PROFILE Athletic Association President Why is Athletic Association an integral organization on the Agnes Scott campus? Generally speaking I might say that if a student participates in any one of the activities offered by AA then she is fulfilling not only her own pesonal satisfaction but the desire of AA. i MARY BARNE77 However, this broad state- ment must be narrowed down in order to understand the exist- ing purposes of Athletic Asso- ciation and how this organiza- tion affects the individual. AA functions as a coordinating body which exercises its power to construct in areas where in- terest has been expressed and to destroy existing rograms that have lost student support. In other words, Athletic As- sociation is not a group of girls who advocate that sports should be "shoved down the throats" of individuals, but rather it is an organization that operates to create a flexible plan of con- tinuous offerings found outside of the academic realm. It is important to erase any brand which might be stamped on AA as a sponsor of rough- necked, strictly athletic type endeavors. AA deserves rec- ognition in its direct relation- ship with the student body to raise the level of excellence physically as well as men- tally. Athletic Association's prime interest is in you. Instead of putting two heads together it puts twenty-one together every Monday as the board probes new ideas which will further develop the individual's growth, her sense of sportsmanship, her willingness to participate, her cooperation and teamwork, and her skill. AA's major aim is to create interest, if it is not already there, and to offer many varities of activities. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 12) LINDA COOPER This year has seen the insti- tution of several new programs to the Athletic Association re- pertoire - the self-defense course, the blood drive, the sponsorship of Sigma Chi Derby on the Scott campus, not to mention the pool table. And yet these programs will be of only momentary value unless they are consolidated and form a base on which to build in future years. It is the continuation of these programs which I feel to be the primary task for next year's A. A. board. In addition I feel that an ef- fort should be made to carry out more fully the purpose of Athletic Association as set forth in the constitution. That is, "...to promote interest in ath- letic and recreational activities among the students, as a means of creating spirit, encouraging good sportsmanship, and de- veloping physical fitness." Since a successful A.A. pro- gram is dependent primarily on student interest and participa- tion, as a candidate for presi- dent I would encourage A. A. to provide an opportunity for every student to participate either in- dividually or as a member of a team in some phase of the program. This could be ac- complished by the use of ques- tionnaires to discover what type programs the student body would like to see effected. A.A. should also consider the following proposals: 1) An increased emphasis should be given to individual sports, with more clinics pro- vided for tennis, archery, etc. 2) Intercollegiate activities, both conferences and sport both conferences and sport events, should be broadened to provide contact with students outside of our immediate geo- graphic area. 3) Tennis, golf, and swim- ming teams should be estab- lished. (CONTINUED ON PAGE 12) MARY HELEN GOODLOE The purpose of Athletic As- sociation as stated in the Con- stitution is 4 to promote inter- est in athletic and recreational activities among the students as a means of creating spirit, en- couraging good sportsmanship and developing physical fit- ness." While accepting this state- ment, I realize that A.A. has the added responsibilities of of- fering for everyone some ac- tivity that will relieve the ten- sions of academic life, creating a spirit of unity along with one of competition, and developing individual proficiency as well as interest in athletics. To achieve these purposes next year, I would like to pro- pose the following program: -A.A. must continue to offer its wide variety of team and in- dividual sports and other activi- ties such as Hub parties, spirit competition and sweatshirt sales. I would like to place special emphasis on a physical fitness program directed by a standing committee on A.A, which would conduct an organiz- ed information campaign about exercises and health. -Individual activities such as tennis, bike-riding badminton, archery, etc. should be encour- aged and revitalized by promot- ing A.A. tournaments and stres- sing the rewards of the point system. A program should be developed to aid beginning or in- termediate players by utilizing the talents of individuals in the Tennis Club, the William Tell Club, or the Dolphin Club. A.A. should assume a lead- ing role in on the Georgia Ath- letic and Recreational Federa- tion for College Women (G.A.R. F.C.W.) to strengthen that or- ganization and our own Associa- tion. I would eventually like to see a delegate from Agnes Scott attend the national conference, which would be an experience that would broaden the ideas and scope of A.A.'s activities. -A.A. should become an agen- cy of contact between Agnes Scott students and students of schools within the Atlanta area, the state, and our region. Play- days in team and individual sports should be arranged through G.A.R. F.C.W. and on our own initiative in order to achieve this purpose. -The executive Board of A.A. needs to be regularly used dur- ing the year to propose projects and programs to the entire Board and to coordinate all activities of Athletic Associa- tion. -Certain standing commit- tees created this year need to be continued along with their programs: Self-Defense, First- Aid and especially the Blood Drive. The responsibility for the Drive should be under the leadership of the Vice-Pres- ident and a committee. All of these proposals are possible only if the A.A. Board is composed of enthusiastic, hard-working and spirited girls selected from the rising Junior and Sophomore classes. I feel it would be a pleasure to be the leader of such a dynamic group which is striving to achieve good sportsmanship, physical fitness, and spirit. President Of Christian Association BETTY BUTLER "The academic world is hardly more awake than the church to questions of ultimate significance. We get gut courses with gutless sentimentalities about man and society. The campus is gung-ho for academic honors, but without academic excellence, for action without direction, and for involvement without meaning. All these idolatries are reflected in rlie Christian community on cam- pus. The academic community is a sitting duck, awaiting the blast of a sharp polemic from some unknown quarters for its scientism and sentimentalism. Will that blast come, as it should, from the student Christian movement, or will it have to come from more awakened forces on the campus, such as drama, philosophy, or psycho- therapy?" Professor Thomas C. Oden has here sounded the challenge that I believe Chris- tian Association ultimately to face. Social Council President dances or week-ends it is necessary to assure that there will be sufficient funds. This can be done by establishing the present dance fund on a more sophisticated basis: that is, the Board will have a set mini- mum amount always available in the fund, and if money is taken from the fund to pay for expenses, it will be replaced by the sale of the tickets. In the past, Social Council has depend- ed heavily on allotments and has had to rely on the ticket money itself to pay expenses: Secondly, I was displeased that the fireside chats were not (CONTINUED ON PAGE 12) CANDY GERWE Social Council does not mere- ly organize and co-ordinate campus social activities. Its purpose, in the most general and important sense, is to provide to the students the opportuni- ties to develop socially as they have developed in other areas; it helps promote a balanced per- sonality. The Board's activi- ties relate the students to the faculty, to each other, and to men on the same basis as they will meet people in later life. In the past year Social Coun- cil has expanded its services in many directions: two daooa w-^ek-ends instead af one annual dance, faculty-student coffees, a bridal fashion show, more In- teresting and varied newspaper articles, and bulletin board fea- tures. These should be continu- ed as well as movies, other fashion shows, and Hub parties. I have given special conside- ration to the following three areas. Concerning the dance week-ends. I would like to work with House Council to have the dorms open to dates one after- noon, perhaps serving refresh- ments on the halls. I would like also to incorporate a third dance week-end, or at least a third dance, featuring a name band, into the fall quarter on a week- end when Tech's football game is away. To sponsor three grand scale BETTY HUTCHISON This year Agnes Scott has been widely recognized as a leading woman's college. It is becoming known not only as a "good school" bu: as a pro- gressive school which places primary emphasis on an acade- mic education but also realizes that there are other aspects of the individual which need de- velopment. A major function of Social Council is to stimulate one of the most important of these "other aspects," the social life of the college. A school can progress (CONTINUED ON PAGE 11) To begin to cope with such a challenge, Christian Associa- tion must accept the responsi- bility and implications of a defi- nite leadership that is, however, sensitive to the obvious, and to the subtle, needs of the cam- pus. This acceptance of leader- ship responsibility will include the facing of that "bug-a-boo" of all leaders not having 100% student agreement on most campus issues. But theneedfor direct and effective action with- in the terms of a cabinet's un- derstanding of the needs of the campus must be met. We, both cabinet and student body, should examine our own religious commitments and necessities and then not hesi- tate to speak to them through the programs of CA. We all (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8) GRACE WINN The purpose of the Agnes Scott Christian Association as I envision it is to encourage the growth in Christian maturity of each member of the campus community. Its function is dif- ferent from that of the Church because it is a campus or- ganization concerned with stu- dents. But in its concern with stu- dents, it must lift our sights be- yond the routine of college study and organization to a facing of the real decisions and action de- manded of us by life. As the constitutional purpose states, Christian Association attempts to do this by a program of ac- tion, study, and worship. One of the most exciting parts of the program of Christian As- sociation this year has been the initiation of new service pro- jects. I would like to see this attitude continued as we keep in touch with needs, especially in the community nearest to the campus, and establish pro- grams directed toward these needs. We should encourage in- creased participation in service projects and plan so that peo- ple who are too busy with such activities as Blackfriars and Athletic Association to partici- pate regularly may share their special abilities on occasions. I would like C.A. to become aware of campus problems such as employee relations and the need for increased scholarships to allow students of different backgrounds to enter Agnes Scott. There are many oppor- tunities for student participa- tion in conferences and in pro- jects during vacations and sum- mer, sponsored by the YMCA, churches, human relations groups, etc. One cabinet mem- ber should be in charge of re- cruiting interested students for such opportunities Some scholarship aid for summer projects might be available from student govern- ment or such community or- ganizations as Rotary Club. The (CONTINUED ON PAGE 8) THE PROFILE APRIL 7, 1966 PAGE 7 Editor Of The Profile I suppose everyone else is as tired as I am of reading elec- tion articles that say only "Every- thing's great. Let's keep up the good work." It is a used and unimagina- tive thought, but one that I wish to slip in here at ANN ROBERTS other way to express my feelings about PROFILE'S progress. I remember the paper of my freshman year an esoteric complaint and gossip sheet for an in-group. I am extremely grate- ful to editors Keenan and Guest for their ef- forts and success in making the PROFILE a true newspaper, and I am proud of the part I have played in this improvement. Now that the PROFILE has become a de- cent journalistic example, I want to make it excellent in its class a publication of dis- tinction beyond the campus and of influence on the campus. I propose innovations as well as continu- ing improvement in the three basic areas which I feel characterize any newspaper. 1. Mechanics: Writing and Makeup. Make- up and, to a lesser degree, writing are relatively unimportant to the average read- er. These factors affect a reader rather subtly but are no less important for it. I hope to improve steadily PROFILE writing and style through more careful proofreading. I am also aware of improvements that can be made in typographical errors, headlines, pictures, and general appearance. 2. Coverage and Attitude. Perhaps you have noticed in recent issues increased em- phasis on reviews of events, rather than simply the announcement of their coming. The proper role of a newspaper is to be merely neither a bulletin board nor a review, but a combination of the best of both. I want the PROFILE to be such a combina- tion; its news, before and after, must be news in depth. That news should not be only campus news but coverage that points out Agnes Scott not as a world, but as part of the world. But the PROFILE needs to increase its on-campus coverage. Of course, the staff itself must be more alert and active in find- ing news. However, increased responsibili- ty must lie with the campus community. Lead- ers would look naturally for support and coverage to the paper as I want it to be. A newspaper is the logical means of communi- cation of news and opinion for all those it serves. And I want the PROFILE to serve all, as a school, not merely a student, newspaper. I want very much to see increased partici- pation and response from faculty and ad- ministration. As we will attempt to cover and comment on all phases of college, es- pecially Agnes Scott college, life and thought, so all aspects of that life should look to us. 3. Policy. Rapid radio and television coverage has lessened the importance of front-page headlines for commercial news- papers; similarly, a paper on a campus such as this, a campus with a highly developed grapevine, seldom finds a "scoop." For both commercial papers and the PRO- FILE therefore, the editorial page is in- creasingly important. I can make only one promise regarding editorial policy of a newspaper under my editorship: it will not necessarily represent consensus opinion. The purpose of press opinion is more to stimulate than to mirror. Policy will continue to be decided by the editorial staff and can deserve no definite label. I believe that our support this year of both the war in Vietnam and represent- tive-elect Julian Bond, stands considered opposing by some minds, represents our open attitude. I wish to maintain this open- ness, a willingness to change if necessary, in official PROFILE opinions, always en- couraging, even seeking, other voices, in our letters column. I want to carry out these ideas for the PROFILE because I enjoy journalism and because I want the PROFILE to reflect better the qualities of Agnes Scott. Ever a mainstay of democracy, a free, respon- sible, and excellent press is most appropriate in such a college community that strives for freedom, responsibility, and excellence in all fields. A college newspaper is an important part of any campus. Because the paper is read not only by the stu- dent body, but also by people outside of the immediate col- lege community, it should be a represen- tative and balan- ced publication. This includes adequate and re- liable news coverage, plus a constructive editorial poli- cy. There should be an emphasis on actual news at other schools as well as Agnes Scott, making the paper informative instead of being merely an instrument of expression. It is especially important at a small col- lege that the paper not only should reflect the ideas of the college, but should also bring new ideas into it. In the past two years the PROFILE, often operating under the handicap of a small staff, has improved tremendously. I think it can continue to improve. I have worked on the PROFILE since my freshman year at Agnes Scott, and I think that as editor I could continue to make the PROFILE a better paper. I would like the chance to try. ROSALIND TODD Roach Seeks Position As NSA Coordinator HELEN ROACH A student is a responsible in- dividual, responsible not only to himself but to his campus, his community, his nation and his world. The purpose of the Unit- ed States National Student As- sociation is to encourage the American student to become more aware of his responsibili- ties and to provide channels through which he can involve himself with these responsibili- ties. In meeting this purpose NSA serves as an exchange and communications center for or- ganizations from across the nation. The function of the NSA co- ordinator is to work to accom- plish NSA's purpose on his own campus and to serve as a link between the organizations on his campus and the National Asso- ciation. He serves his campus as a voting representative to the National Student Congress whose legislation dealing with political and social issues ser- ves to give the student com- munity an effective voice in concerns of national and inter- national importance. On the local level the NSA co-cordinator should work with the student government and existing organizations on cam- pus to insure the student ade- quate voice in situations on campus which affect his life as a student. He should be the means of access to the library of information collected bvNSA concerning typical problems encountered by student organi- zations and various solutions which have been used in sol- ving them. It is the co-ordinator's job to introduce to the individual stu- dent the multiple advantages offered him by the programs of NSA, such as the NSA travel and work programs; student life ''CONTINUED ON PAGE 10) Student Government Secretary Position LIBBA GOUD When I first considered run- ning for Secretary of Student Government, everyone told me that it was simply a high office with very low duties. Instead of dealing with people, I would only be dealing with paper and machines. Granted, there is a considerable amount of dirty work involved - typing, mimeo- graphing, writing letters and minutes. But that is not the only type of work open to the secretary. Her job has tre- mendous possibilities for con- tributing creatively to campus life. She is the main liaison be- tween Rep Council and the stu- dent body, and can develop greatly her role as a liaison between Rep Council and facul- ty. A possible and very bene- ficial addition to her duties would be ths chance to attend meetings of the administrative committee as an interpreter of Rep Council policies and the ideas expressed by members in the formation of the policies. She could also write up Rep Council's important activities for publication in the PROFILE each week to keep the students in touch with their govern- ment. Communication is such an important function in a repre- sentative government, and in a small college such as Agnes Scott there is no reason why every student and faculty mem- ber cannot know what student government is doing. The sec- retary's job is to see that they are informed and that Rep Council is informed of their reactions. It is an office of considerable responsibility, but it is re- sponsibility which I am willing to and would like to accept. Paper work may mean a couple less bridge hands in the Hub, but that is such a small price to pay for such a great oppor- tunity.

The officer to be chosen in the coming elec- tions will to a great extent de- termine the effectiveness of the office. It will be a job of crea- tivity, experimentation, and re- sponsibility, for she must find the way in which the Vice- President will best function to serve Rep Council and the stu- dent body. It will be a role MARILYN ABENDROTH calling for organizational abili- ties, imagination, and enthus- iasm. She will be depended up- on to bring a working know- ledge of student government to all her decisions and also to exercise thoughtful maturity in her actions. The organizational respon- sibilities and chances for cre- ativity are the facets of this office which interest me the most. I feel that I am capable of effectively carrying out the duties of this office which have been set up by re-organization committee and Rep. Council. I worked closely with the or- ganization of Fall retreat last spring in the financial end through my duties as treasurer of student government. Or- ganizing this retreat is the type of work that I enjoy and also that I feel myself able to carry out efficiently. Also, if elect- ed, I plan to give much time and consideration to the coor- dinating of the committees of Rep Council. As a link between the officers and members of Rep Council and each commit- tee I would do my best to help these groups to operate smooth- ly, to be influential in the area of student life which they were created to benefit, and to func- tion in a concise, business-like fashion. The position of editor of the Handbook is another of the big undertakings the vice-president will tackle. I would accept this job as a challenge and do my best to edit carefully and wise- ly the changes, as well as to see that the ambigious sections of the present handbook are re- fined and stated in clearer terms. The connection the Vice- President will have with orien- tation committee also interests me a great deal. And if elect- ed I would look forward to this additional duty. As a candidate for the office of Vice-President I feel we have much to look forward to in the coming year. I anticipate a further emphasis on acade- mics. I also feel Rep Council should do a great deal toward evaluating its place in student government activities beyond its own campus and in student life on its own campus. PAGE 8 APRIL 7, 1966 a THE PROFILE Derrick Seeks Office Of SG Treasurer I wish to be elected to the of- fice of Treasurer of Student Government for several rea- sons. First, because of the op- portunity it would give me to serve in Representative Coun- cil. I consider Representative Council the basic and funda- mental organization upon which the student government of Agnes Scott is built. With its initiat- ing and directing powers it is able to change, modify, and bet- ter the activities and life of the campus. It also serves as a vital link between the student population and the administration and fac- ulty. I would like to take a part in the responsibility of rep- resenting other students in ere- -Judicial Council Secretary- BETTY DERRICK ating and choosing roles for the college and student body to play. I think that in any organiza- tion such as Representative Council there is a great oppor- tunity for those who hold a posi- tion of leadership to direct the thinking of others and to carry a larger share of responsibility and problems. I would like to serve as Treasurer in order to undertake to solve some of these problems. In this past year the atmos- phere of the campus has been to seek a greater awareness of its responsibility to look out- side itself. I would like to be a part of furthering its goal. I think exchanges of students with other colleges which are simi- lar to Agnes Scott in order to share problems and solutions, as well as those which are un- like this college to obtain a new perspective would be very good. I think we need to revitalize organizations if possible to which we and other colleges are members or to seek dif- ferent groups to work with in order to tie ourselves to other colleges in cooperative efforts. I would bring to this office a great desire to work and an in- terest in the affairs of the school. In the management of the financial affairs I would maintain order and precise- ness. I would strive to keep the cooperation which has exist- ed in the past with the treasur- ers and business managers of other campus organizations. I would very much like to serve the campus in this capacity. Huge discounts with the International Student ID Card. Student ships for lively, informative crossings.

U S National Student Association 265 Madison Ave . New York, N Y 10016 NINA GREGG Perhaps the most important aspect of a strong and effective student government is its rela- tion to the individual student and, in turn, each student's in- terest and concern for the prin- ciples and policies of Student Government. The primary channel through which this mu- tual involvement arises is the Judicial Council. Having ser- ved on the council for two years, I have become acutely aware of the necessity of enthusiastic and interested members of the council to carry the understand- ing of the policies to the stu- dents; for without understanding no interest or concern can exist within the student body. The experience I have gain- ed on Judicial Council in an ef- fort to make our government as effective as possible has en- couraged me to seek the office of Secretary of the council. While I have enjoyed my years on the board, I would like to serve in an even more respon- sible position. The student who runs for this office must realize not only the time required to fulfill the ma- jor duties of keeping Judicial | Betty Butler (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6) often fall into the trap of think- ing Christian Association only as a board of social work. It seems, however, that there is also a profound need on cam- pus for a speaking to the psychological and to the spiritual. One means of ac- complishing this is beginning to be discussed this quarter through :h2 framework of In- terfaith Council: the possibi- lities of having a counseling, campus chaplain. I feel that the continuation of this discussion as a major consideration of Christian As- sociation is obligatory. There are, of course, many aspects and responsibilities involved in having a campus chaplain which the administration and student body will have to consider and evaluate before final action is taken; but it is the responsi- bility of Christian Association, I think, to sustain the continua- tion of such an examination. There is, now, a great lack of looking beyond our own cam- pus situation - both in time and Id location. We, the students, seem to have assigned ultimate values and concern to relative- ly insignificant matters of academia and legality. For this reason, I believe that an exam- ination of the CA membership in the international YWCA is necessary for the entire cam- pus. There is a great avenue open through the YWCA and through the World University Service for our recognizing and responding to world-wide stu- dent need. The moving to al- leviate the wants of others in such a universal perspective files, recording penalties, and issuing notices but also the re- sponsibility of holding a major office.

For these reasons I am run- ning for Secretary of Judicial. I am aware of the time and re- sponsibility demanded by this office, and I am eager to devote the best I have in fulfilling these duties. System and to her fellow stu- dents. The individual is the pri- mary concern of the Judicial Council. A successful Honor System does not depend only on a Judicial Board. The success of an Honor System depends on each individual member of the Student Body and the aware- ness that each student has of the part that she has in making an Honor System a success. Having served on Judicial Council for two years, I am aware of the vital role that it plays at Agnes Scott. I know the responsibilities that the position of Secretary of Judicial Council involves, and I feel that 1 have the interest and time to devote to the duties of this office. ALLYN SMOAK The Judicial Council of Agnes Scott is not merely a board to hand out campuses, call downs, and other sorts of penalties to the Student Body; it is a board that deals with honor and is more of an Honor Council. The Honor System is our way of life here at Agnes Scott, but it also prepares us students to assume our places as responsi- ble citizens in other communi- ties after leaving this campus. The Judicial Council tries to help the Student Body better un- derstand the Honor System by which each member is expect- ed to live and the responsibili- ty that each has to an Honor JUDY WILLIAMS In the course of an acade- mic year a Judicial represen- tative becomes aware of the re- sponsibility the board has to the student body. One responsi- bility is service; another is communication. The former is more easily fulfilled than is the latter, especially with a board like Judicial, the wear- ers of the "black robes." Christian Association is vital to our affective func- tioning as human beings in the world today. The facing of the campus challenge, however, does not seem to me to call for im- mediate and all-inclusive turn- over. There are many areas in which a continuation of work and ideas already initiated would seem to be most effec- tive for our campus program. Of course, we must here as- sume the willingness to be re- evaluating the work always and the need to be open to change in this program when it be- comes necessary. Som: 1 of the areas which seem to me to warrant a continu- ing sensitive use are service projects, both those initiated by us and those initiated by WUS and the YWCA; the Intercol- legiate Council, one of the al- ready operating means open to us to extend our concerns and ideas to other campuses; chapel programs, as presentations of relevant discussion and speak- ers as well as a possible time for worship; book discussion groups; world awareness; and the Complin-CAR program, as liason between CA cabinet and the campus. In order to be able to parti- cipate in rhe programs of the YWCA, WUS, and our own cam- pus projects, a complete examination of the pledge-bud- get system is necessary. The increasing difficulties of such a financial arrangement must be realized and answered in one or a combination of some of the following th -ee ways: the reeducation of the campus to taking an effective financial part in the program of Chris- tian Association, the reduction of the budget, or the becoming part of the student treasury bud- get. I feel that the validity of student projects should not be compromised by a reduction of the budget and that the new cabi- net with the campus must decide the most effective m eans for the support of student work through CA. If I am elected to the presi- dency of Christian Association, I shall endeavor to initiate the discussion of these proposals, to continue the work in exist- ing vital areas, and to be open to the suggestions and needs of the student body. Grace Winn (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6) insight of other students would be deepened if those who had participated in such programs shared their experiences in hub discussions, chapels, complins, or job jamborees. Even though we are students, we are enough a part of our pragmatic age that we some- times find it easier to act than to think. I would like to ask each cabinet member to devote one half hour each week simply to thinking about what she should do with Christian Association. I believe the effect would be amazing. I would like to see a large part of the Christian As- sociation program directed to- ward study of vital issues, hope- fully leading to individual de- cision. As liberal arts students we are all involved in at least a partial study of the nature of the age in which we live. I would The best opportunity of com- munication is for the student body to see how the board ac- tually operates, to see its rep- resentatives in action. Pro- gress has been made this year in making Judicial more "open." It has eliminated the closed eye vote and substituted roll call vote. This, I think, is progress away from the secret- ness and exclusiveness with which the board is often asso- ciated. This is only one step; others can be taken ones that make the board more realis- tic, without discarding its ideals. I hope that in the coming year many such steps will be taken. As secretary of Judicial I can give the time required for the official duties of the posi- tion. This office will allow me to serve as a member of the board, giving my opinion if it should be useful. I would like to see the Judicial Board more open, more realistic, and ser- ving as secretary I would be given the opportunity to help see that this is accomplished if the Board also feels that it would be desirable. For the Judicial Board to be as functional as it should be, idealism should be combined with realism. It should be rea- listic and creative in its judg- ments. It should remember that "Four things belong to a judge" but that a Judicial member is also responsible for communication with the student body. The Judicial Board should not be something exclusive and detached from the student body, for it is only with the co-ope- ration of the student body that the Judicial Board and the honor system are able to ope- rate. like to see forums or discus- sion groups directed toward the answers of Christianity to the questions of the twentieth cen- tury. What is the relationship of Christianity and the basic presuppositions of science, of modern art and literature, of psychology, of the American economy. What are the deci- sions demanded by current poli- tics and international affairs? I would like to have a group participate in the Great Deci- sions program of study of na- tional policy. The C.A. shelf in the library could be used to call campus attention to crucial articles in books and periodi- cals. There could be groups for Bible study and consideration of theological questions. We need to study such vital personal is- sues as the role of woman and the effect of birth control on sexual morality. We need to rouse individuals to serious thought about their vocations before the middle of the senior year. As citizens of an age which is losing the sense of mystery, we find it harder to worship than to think or act. I believe it is essential for Christian Asso- ciation to maintain an emphasis on worship through vespers, some complins, and some chap- els. We should search for new ways of worshipping as well as using the very best of the tra- ditional forms. The structure of Christian Association should emphasize flexibility, co-operation, and communication. Many of the programs I have planned would require co-operation with such (CONTINUED ON PAGE 10) THE PROFILE APRIL 7, 1966 PAGE 9 President Of Student Government Claire Allen (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5) time doing the very thing I am doing now intro- specting when there is a rapidly changing and exciting world just beyond our doorstep. Perhaps, a number of students feel that Agnes Scott is not vitally related to the world community and is not attempting to understand and become part of the movements of our time. However, I am attempting to speak for those who do feel this way and who would like to cast their vote for someone who is dedicated to improving the situation. Although I cannot promise to complete the projects which I might begin as student body president, there are several specific things with which I would like to worko Each of the efforts would involve the support and advice of every student. I am not one of those who delight in making a distinction between "student body leaders" and the rest of the campus, because I feel that every student's opinion and action are val- uable and should be encouraged. The weight of voca- lized student opinion could be the decisive factor in bringing Agnes Scott into the twentieth century. The following are several things which I would like to see done and by no means constitute a priority list: 1. faculty evaluations by the student body which would give the students an opportunity to express, anonymously, their opinions of the effectiveness of their professors. 2. thestrengtheningof an Intercollegiate Council for the Atlanta area which has been supported by Chris- tian Association but by few others 3. increasing the powers and responsibilities of Rep Council including the requirement that members of Rep Council contact their constituencies to deter- mine student body opinion of matters discussed by Rep Council, and increased power of Rep Council to speak to the administration for the student body and to make plans not subject to administration approval. 4. an effort on the part of student government to increase communication between the faculty and the student body. 5. a study of the infirmary, by Rep Council to try to discover why it is so badl 6. an updating of social policies, including abolish- ing the Apartment Policy in an effort to provide an environment in which women can become responsible members of a realistic society. 7. a master calendar of events on this campus and other campuses not subject to the approval of the Dean of Students. 8. a student committee to bring current, controver- sial speakers to the campus not subject to adminis- tration approval 9. involvement in the programs of other colleges including attendance at seminars and programs con- cerning the student's role in the world today 10. more clearly defined functions for judicial members 11. a Rep Council study of admission procedures Any other proposals from the student body should be given consideration. The 1966-67 session at Agnes Scott can be a progressive one if you and I, as students, take the time to consider elections carefully this year and cast our votes for candidates who have the imagi- nation and energy to lead Agnes Scott into involvement in the wider world which we so often miss through our narrowness. PROFeSSIOfl' ^p^ M ^ STUDEnT Judy Roach CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5) will not solve the problem. Therefore, for example, I definitely see the need for the reorganization of two of our major organs of self-government, Judicial and House Council, to provide for judicial regulation of minor social infractions by the House Councils and a Residence Council. This will give House Council the responsibility and structure it should rightly have, and will enable Judi- cial Council to concern itself more with the larger questions of the honor system and its purpose. Also, Social Council might be re-organized to better serve the needs of the student body. In an academic community like Atlanta with ap- proximately ten colleges of every size and variety, there should be much intercollegiate exchange of ideas and information. I would like to work again through existing structures like Social Council, A.A., C.A., and Arts Council to provide such commun- ication and co-operation, and also to work to reor- ganize Intercollegiate, if possible, having elected rep- resentatives from the various campuses who could exchange information about activities elsewhere in At- lanta and could also co-ordinate and plan joint pro- jects where such projects were feasible. While in college, a student's primary purpose is obviously to learn, but she should also be "gaining a knowledge" of the outside community. The emphasis on the arts this year has been excellent in this res- pect. This emphasis should be affirmed and pursued even further in the coming year so that students may participate in the cultural opportunities that are avail- able. Secondly, the service projects of C.A. and the tutorial project of Curriculum Committee should be fur- ther developed and stressed, for these offer us a real bridge into the larger community and its needs. FinaJly, L would like to continue the communication and active participation in NSA that has been evident this year. I would also like to further investigate the possibilities of a good regional organization other than SIASG to which we might belong. Student government should now, I believe, cultivate its means of communication to become more informed and aware of the real purpose that confronts it. It should so structure itself that it may be a means to ends from which the whole campus may benefit. Write your name in the pages of history. But-don't forget your address.

The Atlanta area offers much in the way of controversial speakers, debates, etc.; which might stimulate more interest and concern if brought to our campus. I should also like to see Agnes Scott take a more active part in the Atlanta college community. This entire area involves an important question ol jurisdiction in what areas can we as students work, and how much authority can we exercise. This depends a great deal on how effectively we handle that which comes under our definite jurisdiction now. On the basis of the maturity we have shown this year, I think it will be an excellent opportunity to establish between students and the administration, the specific limits of power: and then to assume complete responsibility in those areas which are totally student and effective ad- vis .9Y. responsibilit y in administrative areas which di- rectly concern us. The second area for emphasis is that of our relation to other educational institutions. One important as- pect of this would be a well-planned, supported ex- change program with other colleges. These could be with schools not closely related in size, character, and purpose, or with a more closely related school located in a different geographical area- Both of these could provide invaluable experience, both in establishing some contact with other colleges and in giving us an insight into Scott from a different perspective. The Atlanta area itself provides many op- portunities for exchange which could be utilized more of- ten. The off-campus organizations also provide many op- portunities for relating to the academic circle as a whole. SIASG, made up of southern girl's schools which are equivalent in size to Agnes Scott, offers us the opportunity to share similar problems and solu- tions. SUSGA is a larger organization of a more di- verse nature offering many opportunities for confer- ences, etc. NSA has a wide scope of activities which we have not really even begun to tap: speakers, travel ser- vice, information service, conferences etc. Moreover it gives us a place in a large, and influential voice of American students. There is also a possibility that Agnes Scott might have a seat on the National Steering Committee for the Student Congress. However I think that an evaluation of the opportuni- ties that each of these organizations offers us and in turn what we can contribute to each of them, is very essential. Then once a decision has been made of support to one or more of these organizations, we should live up to this support bv active participation and lead- ership. This is not to neglect the traditional lines of student government. There are still many areas of student life that need evaluation and change. I would like to see the student services committee be broadened to include many more areas of student life. Rule changes are always pertinent and important in order to keep up with changing campus life. One thing requiring careful attention next year will be the student treasury. It will receive a larger allot- ment and a very conscientious reapportionment will be needed. This will be an excellent opportunity for stu- dents to express their opinions as to how their money is used. Much of the structure of student government is un- wieldy, limited and necessitates constant change. The reworking of this would provide a more efficient gov- ernment with less time spent and less red tape. I would like to re-evaluate the representation system of Rep Council, and the role that each member should play. I would expect hard work, careful attention to student problems, and conscientious representation from each of these members. Finally, it seems important to me to express my feel- ings about the student body's participation as a whole in student government. Effective government does not depend on good leaders entirely; it is "people and ideas," for leadership is a shared responsibility, as an elected representative, the liaison between the student body and the administration, I would be willing to work for those goals which the student body sets as far as I am capable: but I would need the support and responsibility of the students in carrying out these goals; for the privilege of self government is a con- tinually earned right. I sincerely believe that the coming year will prove to be an exciting and important one for Scott, and that more than this, it will be a prophecy of the direction Agnes Scott is already heading...that of mature, strong, effective students who are vitally concerned with the processes of higher education and the world around them. PAGE 10 APRIL 7, 1966 THE PROFILE HOUSE PRESIDENT Jane McCurdy (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5) Reorganization was dealt with this year; and although it has temporarily been tabled, House Councils should be structured so as to assimilate the eventual decentralization. The office of Chairman of -House Presidents Council has great potentiality. Among the many new fields of influence are inter-dorm competition and dorm improvement. The latter could include anything from the installation of milk machines to obtaining better washing machines and more dryers to re- questing more showers and reliable water temperature. In this area, of course, the Chairman would have to work closely with the Student Services representative on Rep Council; and al- though some ideas could not be acted upon immediately, such improvements would be in the incipient stages. The House President should provide a link between Rep Council and the girls in her dorm, and she can do this only if she is concerned with each individual and takes the time to get to know every girl. Naturally, this is time-consuming, but it remains the most important and the most rewarding aspect of the House President's job. Penny Penland (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5) Council is just now being recognized, and with the right combina- tion of organization and flexibility we can tap a great resource for achieving a more satisfactory and harmonious- campus life. SIASG Convenes On Scott Campus The 1966 conference of the Southern Intercollegiate Asso- ciation of Student Governments (SIASG) will be held at the Agnes Scott campus April 14- 16. The stated purpose of these conferences is to bring the leaders of worn en's student gov- ernments together for the free exchange of ideas and a conse- quent broadening of their own potentialities as student gov- ernment leaders. SIASG is run entirely by stu- ^ f dents who are elected each year tileClTlOr McCdlHe from the delegates present at have been made. Marilyn Aben- droth and Alice Zollicoffer have steered the planning of the events. Working under them as committee heads are Mary Barnett, Libba Goud, JoanGun- ter, Marganne Hendricks, Susan Philips, Kathy Reynolds, and Cathy Walters. Judicial Secretary the convention. These officers serve through the following conference. The annual conference is the highlight of the year's activi- ties. Here the business is con- ducted, projects for the year are adopted and discussion groups are held. The theme for this confer- ence is "Something is happen- ing!" Dr. Wallace Alston and Dr. Theodore Greene are the speak- ers. Marilyn Abendroth and Alice Zollicoffer are the co-chair- men and have been making many plans for the reception of these 60-70 girls from colleges all over the South. A banquet scheduled for April 15 has been planned to precede the keynote speech by Dr. Greene. After the speech there will be a "Hub" party be- ginning at 8:30 p.m. Everyone on campus is en- couraged to come and take the opportunity to meet these visit- ing representatives personally. Also, these girls will be eat- ing all their meals in the Din- ing Hall which should provide an opportunity for us to infor- mally welcome these visitors to our campus. Some of the colleges repre- sented are Erskine, Mercer, Wesleyan, Sweet Briar, Missis- sippi State College for Women, Coker, Centre and many more. The representatives from Agnes will be the newly elected President, Secretary, and Treasurer of Student Govern- ment and also the Judicial Chairman. This is a "first" on the Agnes Scott campus. Our school has been represented before but has never been the host for the conference. Many preparations "What is honor? A word. What is in that word honor? What is that honor? Air." If Falstaff's cynicism is pen- etrating Agnes Scott, we need to reevaluate our sense of values. The most cherished part of a community of students is the re- sponsibility and opportunity of the students themselves to de- velop and carry out the policies of their community. They elect those who work with the cam- pus at large and with individuals to understand and develop a sense of honor permeating all areas of personal and public life. I am running for Secretary of Judicial to help in the revalua- tion of Judicial Board's com- munication with the student body and to deal more directly with individuals who make Judicial necessary.

NSA Coordinator (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7) insurance program; scholar- ships for study programs; par- ticipation in the International Student Relations Seminar. Because I believe the Rep- resentative Council and Judical Board provide adequate chan- nels for student participation on this campus, I feel the NSA co- ordinator's specific responsi- bility at Agnes Scott is to work, both on her own and in conjunc- tion with campus political or- ganizations, to stimulate in our students more awareness and concern for problems in the At- lanta community and on national and international scales. Be- cause this is the area of re- sponsibility in which I feel Scott students are most deficient, it is the one which I, as NSA co- ordinator would emphasize. I would like to continue the good line of speakers and pro- grams which NSA has presented in chapel this year and I would like to provide more which :ould be scheduled at times )ther than chapel period. I hope to find means to pro- vide the Agnes Scott students with better information as to political and social activities in the Atlanta area and establish means through which these acti- vities will be more available to her. I would hope to work with student government in Gillis Entertains At Gala Miss Georgia Gillis, Class of '65, was hostess Monday, March 28, to a gala party given at her charming residence on South Candler in honor of the rites of spring.

As NSA co-ordinator I would want to make available and ex- pose to students material, put out by other student organiza- tions not represented at Agnes Scott, especially from contro- versial groups, so that while we cannot have the experience of actual exposure to such groups, we won't be so naive as to be ignorant of their exis- tance and the trends which they indicate. I believe it would be neces- sary for the NSA co-ordinator to conduct a poll to determine the opinion of the majority on campus concerning issues which will be voted on at con- gress and thus for her to ade- quately represent the campus in her vote. I am concerned that students are satisfied with grumbling about classes with which they are dissatisfied. As students our first responsibility is to secure the best education pos- sible and I would seek means to stimulate more academic responsibility in this area. I believe channels exist or can be made available through which effective communication of an evaluative nature could take place between faculty and student.

I would like to see many people who are not cabinet members become invol- ved in the planning of Christian Association programs. An ex- ample would be a rotating com- mittee to suggest topics and speakers for chapels. I would like Christian Asso- ciation to become aware of the activities of off-campus church groups and religious organiza- tions in which Agnes Scott stu- dents are involved. As the cam- pus interdenominational reli- gious association we should en- courage communication among such groups. The ministers of churches attended by students should be invited to visit the campus at times other than the Meet-the-Ministers Tea. I would like to see us move toward having a full-time cam- pus chaplin. This would neces- sitate great flexibility, since a chaplin would take over some present functions of C.A. cabi- net and require some new ones. The carrying out of the pro- grams I have outlined requires money, and the money-raising of C.A. must be improved. One suggestion is individual solici- tation of each student for pled- ges in the fall. Most of my other ideas are about continuing the fine pro- grams of this year. I hope that Christian Association would effect the entire campus community. But I would like to see many activities, such as small discussion groups, aimed at a specific group likely to be most interested. I believe this would be more effective in the long run than a constant attempt to reach everyone with every- thing. I would hope that Chris- tian Association could create an atmosphere in which we would all become more aware of each other as persons, with in- dividual contributions, desires, and needs. Many of the ideas in this ar- ticle come from other people who have suggested them tome. If you have a suggestion or com- ment, please tell me. Whoever you elect as officers of Chris- tian Association, creative ideas will be of use next year. ct&m COMR Simply i Wonderful Sportswear OPEN DAILY 9:305:30 Open Friday Night Until 8:30 133 Sycamore St. "On The Square" In Decatur DRake 7-4913 DRake 3-4922 DECATUR CAKE BOX Belle Miller Florist - Baker - Caterer 112 Clairmont Avenue Decatur, Ga. 107c Discount on Birthday Cakes for Agnes Scott Girls THE APRIL 7, 1900 PAGL-. 11 Judicial Chairman THE VARSITY TEAM :s the cream of the Agnes Scott crop of eager basketball players; left to right, front row: Elizabeth Cooper, Day Morecock, Laura Morgan, and Pat Auclair. back row: Mary Helen Goodloe, Windy Lundy, Alice Davidson, Jan Gaskell, Kat Mitchell, and Lucy Rose 0 Not pictured is Louise Smith, Sub-varsity members are AHyn Smoak, Judy Ahrano, Lou Frank, Gue Pardue, Winkie Wooten, Bonnie Creech, Ann McClain, Susan Landrum, Eleanor McCallie, and Pat Smith, Glamour Picks Croswell Ellen Croswell, a sophomore at Agnes Scott, has been chosen by Glamour magazine as a semi-finalist in its contest for the ten best-dressed girls on U.S. college campuses.

Betty Hutchinson (CONTINUED just so far without an active social life. Agnes Scott is at a point in its development where a realistic and sophisticated ap- proach is needed in this area. This year Athletic Associa- tion and Social Council have taken steps in this direction by initiating two dance week- ends instead of one dance. Th? success of the winter dance week end and the expected suc- cess of the spring one have done a great deal to change the image of "The Agnes Scott School Dance." Next year Social Council will be solely in charge of dance weekends. I'd like to see this image dispelled still further by having larger well-known bands and entertainment which will be attractions in themselves. Eventually, Social Council should be able to arrange con- certs by popular entertainers. Many girls' schools have Student Centers, such as the Hub in which the boys of surround- ing schools feel very much at home. These boys don't neces- sarily date particular girls but come to enjoy the afternoon or night, play bridge, etc., and maybe meet a girl they would enjoy dating. If this situation existed at Scott, it would help alleviate the problem of blind dating. As a starting point, fraterni- ties could be invited to drop in after their meetings on Wednes- day night or Friday or Satur- day afternoon. This invitation could be informally issued by FROM PAGE 6) girls who date in the different fraternities. The Hub has bridge tables, a pool table, and a T.V., and a juke box could be add- ed. This situation would be con- dusive to the informal gather- ings which are characteristic of a co-ed school. Social Council has an appoint*- member who writes articles for the PROFILE. I would like to see this position enlarged to en- compass national publications such as magazines and other news media. This would consist of submitting articles of parti- cular interest in which Scott students are involved, such as Affirmation: Vietnam. These are a few of the things I would like to see Social Coun- cil accomplish. It should be a dynamic, vital organization, willing to try new things and pro- gressing with the rest of Agnes Scott. I VISITORS I (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) Also, Dr. Chandy and Miss Das Gupta are interested in studying extra-curricular ac- tivities, student - faculty re- lations and counseling, student health and housing, placement of students and financial aid to students at Agnes Scott. .CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5) honor. Therefore, the criterion of personality is de-emphasiz- ed, and the electorate partici- pates in the rare situation of grass-roots democracy in its privilege of policy-making. However, I hasten to add that this article does not voice a po- litical platform; the nature of Judicial work renders formula- tion of such a platform impos- sible. The chief function of the Judicial Council is to act in specific situations to which it comes with only immediate foreknowledge. With this in mind, the Board must maintain an inner tension the healthy sort of tension that will enable it to contend with a difficult situation at a given moment. The question then, is how the Judicial Council can maintain the spirit of readiness that al- lows it to cope with the prob- lems immediately confronting it. Such a spirit must first be exemplified by the individual Council representative in fact, for the Judicial Council to be most effective, an alertness that can successfully encounter situations involving Honor must pervade the entire campus. . However, it is the responsibili- ty of the Judicial Council to set the tone, through the individual representatives, that will unite the Board itself within the larg- er framework of a student body that is willing to support its decisions. The basis of this sort of spir- it is inherent in the type of stu- dents found at Agnes Scott. These students hold the ideal of Honor in high regard, but are realistic in their approach to the responsibility involved as they confront its intrinsic prob- lems. Such responsibility was demonstrated during the 1964- 65 session when administra- tion, faculty, and students en- gaged in discussion leading to subsequent modification of the Policy Regarding the Use of Al- coholic Beverages. However, it seems unfortu- nate that tli is atmosphere of lively questioning should be ex- tinguished as soon as a policy is altered. Should it not be the responsibility of the Judicial Council to sustain this spirit? This spirit of healthy tension, of an active, vital sense of in- terpretation and execution, will prevent stagnation as the Judi- cial Council engages in the ser ious matter of points of Honor within the framework of Agnes Scott and the ideals of its Hon- or System. In its efforts to maintain this spirit, the Judicial Council should be self-reliant yet sen- sitive to the trend of student opinion. For the representa- tive this involves loyalty to oneself, to one's friends, and to the college with regard to points of Honor. Such individ- ual acumen can provide the deep understanding necessary among the members of the Board; furthermore, it can strengthen the relationship be- tween the Board and the Stu- dent Body itself. 1 freely admit that I have dealt in this article largely with gen- eralities, and yet I feel very strongly that these generalities are pertinent to any discussion of the question of Honor. The establishment of such basic considerations is a pro-requi- site for maintaining the flexi- bility needed by such a body as the Judicial Council. As Dr. Theodore Greene told the Student Body during Honor Emphasis Week in 1964, honor is ineffable: it can be talked about but not defined, it must be realized first-hand. As candi- date for the office of Judicial Chairman for 1966-67, I am ready to accept the responsi- bility of guiding die interpreta- tion and administration of the Honor System in student life at Agnes Scott, the responsibility which I have discussed in the previous paragraphs.

Mary Barnett (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6) This year the board intro- duced several new programs such as the Self-Defense Course and the Red Cross Blood Drive to associate the college com- munity more directly with the life outside of classes and homework. Thus AA has in- creased the formerly too nar- row scale of activities to include programs which deal with par- ticipation other than between teams. In this sense, Athletic As- sociation's new approach reach- es out towards a more unlimit- ed resource for its material. Although the maintenance of individual as well as team sports must be emphasized and enjoyed as ever, it is neces- sary not to be completely con- tent with the way things are and instead to seek and ex- plore many new possibilities both on and off of the campus. As President of Athletic As- sociation I would like to see the establishment of intra-dorm competition especially in the less played sports such as golf, archery and softball. I would like to see exhibitions present- ed by leading athletes and a more extensive program of vis- iting speakers brought to our campus. In addition, there should be several playdays and tourna- ments which take place at Agnes Scott to promote a better feel- ing and closer association be- tween our college and sur- rounding schools. In addition, 1 would like to see more of the money acquir- ed at sweatshirt and do-nut sales to be used in securing new trophies and a better tro- phy case. I would like AA to introduce the awarding of a new trophy to be presented to a girl elected "athlete of the year" by a panel of the AA officers and board members, physical education department and sport managers. Along this line, if more mon- ey could be raised through new activities other than hub par- ties, such as car washes or magazine sales. This extra money could be used to buy new trophies as well as badly need- ed bicycles. Enough money would enable us to get bicycles "built for two," something a little different for students. Also we could construct a permanent scoreboard on the hockey field for any sports which take place at any time of the year. During the winter months ice skating parties could be organized and. for the snow when it arrives, AA could buy sleds for the students to use as they do bicycles in the spring. I feel also that softball and soccer should be introduced and participated in as much as Bring Sho Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc. DR. 3 3676 141 Clairmont A**. Decatur and North Decatur the sports already offered. Teams should be organized in both these activities and soft- ball especially could become a main attraction of the annual Spring AA picnic, at which time our own world series could be held between the top standing teams. AA has expanded its program to include so many areas that everyone can now find an oppor- tunity to give of herself either for her personal enjoyment (as through sports) or for becoming a better person (as through the Blood Drive). Here, essen- tially, lies the purpose of Ath- letic Association on our cam- pus. AA does not limit the ad- vantages it holds for every stu- dent if only the individual will reach out for them. With the close association to all the other boards, Athletic Association can enlarge its of- ferings and eventually create an unifying program which would bring many facets of life into everyday activities, avail- able to all at any time. As President of AA, I feel that I am qualified to introduce new programs as well as ini- tiating a movement towards one hundred percent participation in something outside of a strict academic schedule. However, these plans can evolve only from a strong AA Board which shares the responsibility and the desire to work with the of- ficers in securing new channels through which every individual might benefit. Linda Cooper (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6) 4) More recreational activi- ties, such as skating and bow- ling parties, ping-pong tourna- ments, should be provided. 5) Interdorm competition should be organized on an in- formal basis with competition in field events such as sack races, etc. 6) The gym should be opened at night with all facilities avail- able for student use. 7) Physical fitness and gym- nastics classes should be set up in a manner similar to the self-defense course. In addition to being able to devote all of my time to A.A., I feel that my experience as treasurer this year has given me valuable knowledge about the workings of the board and the manner in which the above programs could best be de- veloped. I would appreciate the opportunity to serve as Presi- dent of Athletic Association and to help it serve the needs of the students. | Mary Lamar | (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7) vitalized her this year, but the united efforts of us all will mark the degree of achieve- ment. As we as individuals continually find ourselves in need of self-reevaluation, so are we as a campus community in need of self -exam ination. We have accomplished much this year from changing of policies to expanding of campus partic- ipation in the arts. We must use this firm foundation. It is now necessary to con- sider those things which we have not achieved and to open our minds to catch new ideas. From this will come our new challenges. A living organism must continue to take nourish- ment or it will wither. It is the job of all of us to see that Agnes Scott will continue this healthy growth. I am seeking the office of Secretary of the Student Government because I believe in the positive future of Agnes Scott and because I want to show my willingness to do my part. The office of secretary is an integral part of campus life for it provides a functional channel of communication between Rep- resentative Council and stu- dents, between students and oth- er students, between adminis- tration and studenrs, and be- tween Agnes Scott and the larg- er community. The secretary must be alert to every pulse of the campus: from discus- sions at student meetings, to brain-storming at committee meetings, to the private sug- gestions of students. I feel that past experience gives me good qualifications for secretary of Student Gov- ernment. I have found satis- faction in the challenge of the position of secretary in the past. Here at Scott my work as secretary-treasurer of the freshman class and as a sopho- more member of Representa- tive Council has given m? op- portunities for a fuller realiza- tion of the work of Student Gov- ernment and its elasticity and increasing possibilities. My experience as a member of Dance Group, the James Ross McCain Memorial steer- ing committee, the PROFILE staff, as chairman of the Sopho- more-Freshman Party, and my work with orientation, Black Cat and Junior Jaunt have enab- led me to have contact with many different aspects of cam- pus life. I believe that I am capable of handling this office efficient- ly and effectively and I would like to have the opportunity to serve our campus. - Candy Gerwe (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6) more successful since the topics were very interesting and well-planned. I think discus- sions or demonstrations by ex- perts in make-up and hair styles, interior decorating, flo- wer arranging, er:. are valid and fun; and 1 wouldn't elimate them. Perhaps a survey criti- cism would help; perhaps having them at the very beginning of quarters when people have more time would attract more in- terest. Une student suggested that all of the Hub activities be co- ordinated solely by Social Coun- cil. I think this has very good possibilities. This would mean that Social Council would place a calendar in the Hub some- time after th^ Retreat when the major activities for the year had been assigned dates. The dates already chosen would be blacked out and groups planning Hub activities through- out the year could reserve Hub space by putting the event on the calendar. The basis would be first come, first serve just as always; but the system would take some of the burden off Miss Scandrett and would save time for the boards. I am aware of the work that the office of president entails and can honestly say that I will enjoy this work and give my time to it. My two years experience on Social Council, tftt last of which I served as secretary, and my experience as social Chairman r my class last year well-qualify me for this posi- tion. SPRING IS HERE, as everyone can tell by the sudden rash of sunbathe rs, red faces caused by the sun, daffodils and tulips, greener grass, balmy days and warm furry ducklings; this one is dwarfed by seemingly huge tulips near the dining hall and appears to be considering its next move in the forest. Administrative Committee Passes Two New Policies There are two new policies in effect for the campus begin- ning this quarter. These are the new car policy and the ex- tended time limit for girls with- out dates. Sophomores who have an overall 1.0 average are allowed to keep cars on campus. Ann Glendinning, chairman of the committee which formulated this policy, said that she thinks its passage is a "fine exam- ple of the good communications between Rep Council and the administration.' Rules Committee originated the policy concerning extended time limit. The need for this change was evidenced especial- ly because of the new car poli- cy. Under the old policy the soph- omores needed a junior or a senior as a chaperone to ride in a car at night without a date. Under the new policy sophomores are adequate chaperons for themselves and for freshmen. Three girls riding in the At- lanta area and two in Decatur may now stay out until 11:45 any night. Girls walking in De- catur, however, must still be in by 11:00 p.m. Linda Richter, of Rules Com- mittee, said that she thinks this is a mature way of handling the chaperonage.

White, anthro- pologist at the University of Michigan and 1964-65 president of the American Anthropologi- cal Association, is on the Agnes Scott campus today. "Dr. White is the leading American exponent of culturo- logy," says Mr. John Tumblin. Although all types of studies of men are traditionally called an- thropology, the distinctive thing about culturology is that it is the study of man in his cultural con- text. Dr. White believes that the American non-physical anthro- pologists, who study the pre- literate ancient societies and some literate societies of to- day, should devote more time to the study of the American cul- ture. In his presidential address to the American Anthropologi- cal Association in Detroit, White states, "We know, or un- derstand, very little about our own culture. We were born and reared within it and are there- fore inclined to believe that we understand it, just as the Hopi Indians believe that they under- stand their Snake Dance. But we are unable to provide answers to some of the simplest questions." One of Dr. White's famous papers is ' Culturological vs. Psychological Interpretations of Behavior. Mr. Tumblin is especially anxious for sociology andpsyc- hology students to hear Dr. White, who will be speaking at 11 a.m. this morning in room 3 Buttrick . The entire campus is invited.

Sigma Chi Derby Day Features Zipper Strip by Evelyn Angeletti Would you believe a Zipper Strip, Squirt Shooting, and Raunchy Relay? Mysterious though they sound, these events are part of the Sigma Chi Der- by. Saturday, May 7, the Geor- gia Tech and Emory Sigma Chi fraternities are co-sponsoring the Derby Day events. Sorori- ties from Emory and Tech and the classes from Agnes Scott Weekend Brings Two More Dances Social Council and Athletic Association announce a first for Agnes Scott the Spring Dance Weekend. Following the suc- cess of the winter weekend, April 29 and 30 will see two name-band dances and a picnic supper for the student body and dates. The weekend begins Friday at 8 p.m. with a dance in the Hub, featuring the Five Di- mensions. Dress is casual, from school clothes to slacks or bermudas. Music and dance will continue until midnight in the Hub, which will be deco- rated for spring and supplied with cokes for sale downstairs. Saturday brings two more events of the weekend. A.A. will sponsor a picnic supper to be held on the hockey field from 5 to 6 p.m. Then from 8 to 12, the Tarns, a well known group from the Atlanta area, backed up by Spider and the Astronauts, will entertain for the dance in the dining hall. In answer to the many ques- tions that have been asked, there are no stipulations about dan- cing in the dining hall. It is by Joy Griffin ideal an ideal location for dances and will be decorated for party atmosphere. For cokes and refreshments, the lower dining hall will be open during the dance. Dress again will be casual school clothes for students and their dates, but no bermudas. Right now is the time to get into a party mood and make plans to attend the weekend. For girls who have not made dates, we have a list of fra- ternities of your choice and of girls who would be happy to ar- range blind dates for the dan- ces.

RICHARD HENSEL reminiscences with an alum. 27 Juniors Eligible For Independent Study Work Agnes Scott's program of in- dependent study is to give stu- dents the opportunity to explore for themselves some field of in- tellectual or artistic endeavor.

PAGE 2 APRIL 28, 1966 Working Scholars Theodore Meyer Greene has described the college community as a gathering of "older and younger scholars," denoting an interaction among, a cooperation with, and working for each in- dividual member of the group. One way in which Agnes Scott demonstrates the importance of an atmosphere encouraging such mutual relationships is notable in the Scholars at Work program. A series of seminars conducted by both students and faculty members, this program encourages excellence in independent research and learning, and provides a means by which the "old- er and younger scholars" can share the results of their individ- ual intellectual endeavors. Initiated, organized, and sponsored by Mortar Board, the Scholars at Work series has featured students participating in the Independent Study program and faculty members engaged in academic research for these and publications. Consequently, as the fruits of self-initiated scholastic work are revealed, in- terested students become aware of both the difficulties with and the rewards of such study. Particularly fitting to Agnes Scott is the program, for in an academic community which thrives on superior scholarship, one stands not amazed to discover a student-organized program which recognizes those who have expanded their mental hori- zons by stepping beyond required study to reach for satisfac- tion of intellectual curiosity. A challenge for the observer, an advancement for the participant, the Scholars both "older and younger" at Work program caters to those interested in zealous intellectual pursuits through second helpings of learning. Doubtless you've noticed the PROFILE has lost weight lately. The reason is the logical one we've been put on a diet. Financially, that is. We have received as much money as is pos- sible from Student Treasury, which, as every- one knows, is not in excellent fiscal shape it- self. There is nothing we can do about the situa- tion but live with it. We will publish as often as possible, probably every other week, and bring out the annual graduate issue, hopefully a larger paper, at the end of the quarter. We apologize for the problem and will do our best to pack as much as possible into the pages we can print. Rep Council At last week's joint meeting of the old and new Rep Council members, committee chair- men for this year gave final reports regard- ing their accomplishments and effectiveness this year and suggesting changes in operation for next year. The reports covered subjects from major policies to the hours meals are served, but most of them had a common thread. Most leaders mentioned ignorance of what the stu- dent body wanted done. Now, as the new officers take over, is the best time to consider this problem of com- munication. And consider this time from a new angle. Much talk goes on about know-your Rep Council. We feel that students are beginning to know more what goes on in their governing body. What about a little know-your- student body talk now? Representatives are elected to represent; part of their job is to talk to stu- dents and find out what they want changed, maintained, modified in all areas. We are not disparaging to work done by the committees this year. Progress has been made, in many thing from major policies to the hours meals are served. More communi- cation is need for new year, however, start- ing at the Rep Council end. If leaders can- not find out what students want done, they should at least know whether what they are doing is acceptable to the students. Bulletin Aw'- Ut it bu.m( Looking Back E rskine Our compliments to those responsible for the look of the new catalogues. Those of us accustomed to sloppily-made 60-cent paper- backs are always happy to see a beautiful- ly made paper-bound book. The bulletin for 1966 is such a beautiful book. The contents of the catalogue was thorough- ly reviewed and revised last year; it was time to change the format. Appropriately enough, the contemporary color and cover design fit well into this year of fine arts' emphasis. The inside typography also has a fresh, clear look. The darker type set with narrower margins is more readable. And the change from "a," "b," and "c" notation to "f," "w," and "s" is much more logical. The appearance of a book has much in- :CLuence on how well it will be read. We hope ;the attractive new form of the catalogue is Lnspiring careful study this course selection week, especially among sophomores who should be considering with care a choice of major. At the student government retreat last fall each committee presented a report of its plans for this year. While many of these plans were good, some of them were not completed. Sometimes this came from a lack of action by the committee. At other times there were problems over which the committee had re- latively little control. The following report is an analysis of some of thesecommittees' ac- complishments. One of the most active committees was the Student Curriculm Committee. This com- mittee was formed several years ago to en- able students to be involved in the process of considering improvements and changes in the curriculum. In accordance with this the com- mittee set two of its goals as 1) a study of student opinion on the possibility of including Russian and Italian in the curriculum; and 2) language houses to be established for students with proficiency in foreign languages. The committee found that there is a defi- nite student interest in offering courses in Russian and Italian. However, these courses are hard to organize, because a professor in these subjects would probably have to teach courses in another language also. Although the committee was not able to materialize the language house for next year, work is still being done in this area, and there is a pos- sibility of forming one after this. This committee also organized the study group on Modern India led by Mrs. Philip last fall. This seminar was well attended, and both Mrs. Philip and the committee consider- ed it successful. On a different level, the com- m ittee has helped in organizing the typing and shorthand courses in conjunction with Decatur High School. Recently, the committee has fixed major booklets for sophomores to aid them in choos- ing a major. Another activity along this line was major nigh^ an excellent idea. How- ever, although it was good this year, it was not well attended. The committee is there- fore planning a re-evaluation of this activity. While this committee was successful in ac- complishing many of its goals, some commit- tees were blocked even though they worked hard. An example of this was the Exchange Committee. Although an exchange with an- other college was planned for this year, none materialized. Many of the problems were con- nected with other schools. For instance, let- ters written to other colleges were often un- answered. An exchange withSpelman was im- possible, because they were not interested in a short term exchange. The exchange committee was therefore confined to encouraging group participation at other schools. The Spelman glee club per- formance here during Holy Week was an ex- ample. The usefulness of this committee can be improved next year by enlarging its scope to include all contacts with other schools, and having greater communication between students and the committee. The Policy Committee was also partially hampered by problems. This committee, how- ever, did succeed in changing the Chaperonage Policy. Although the committee tried to adopt a rule allowing one girl to walk to Cabin, the Administrative Committee did not think this was safe. Besides working on policy changes this committee also helped on the wording of the Handbook and worked more closely with Rep Council than in the past, especially in revising the car policy. However, one of the problems of this com- mittee was the infrequent meetings of Ad- ministrative Committee. This caused a delay in the final decision on some pro^sed changes. Another problem of this committee was determining the pulse of the student body. Policy Committee has several ideas for solv- ing this problem, such as forming a link of communication from the students to the com- mittee through judicial or house council representatives. Another committee on campus this year was the Student Services Committee. This year its biggest project concerned private telephones. However, the committee was also active in other fields. Besides working on many little changes with Mr. Rogers and Mr. Lap- pheimer, the committee made improvements in* I) starting Saturday lunch at 12:00; 2) ex- tending bookstore hours during registration; and 3) helping with "Affirmation: Vietnam" work on campus. The committee considered the possibility of having a Zerox machine for student use, oat these plans did not develop . This is only a sample of the committees on campus. While much was accomplished this year, there are still problems. However, most of the committees recognize what their pro- blems are and are anxious to solve them. This in itself is an encouraging beginning for next year. Author Welty Sensitive, Interested In People by Diane Dixon For several days last week Scott was hostess to one of the South's most distinguished wri- ters, Miss Eudora Welty. As she lived and moved on campus the qualities which make her the very sensitive and observant writer that she is were evident. Miss Welty was alert to everything about her, the dog- wood trees and the little ani- mals. In front of the dining hall she attracted a crowd as she inspected red tulips. She was delighted by the "red cow eats Tom Thumb" episode in con- vocation. Most of all Miss Welty was interested in people. Her love for people, even the most or- dinary people, is reflected in the stories she read in her lectures, "The Petrified Man" and "Why I Live at the P.O." Miss Welty was also inter- ested in aspiring writers. "The best part of my lecture tour is talking to interested groups like this," Miss Welty told a small circle of English majors who lunched with her Wednes- day. At Millsaps College where she is teaching creative writ- ing Miss Welty gives her stu- dents a free hand in class. "I make no definite assignments to my class." Creative writing is an individual thing Miss Welty believes. A teacher can guide a student in creative writing but the product must be from the student herself. Her writing class holds infor- mal discussion sessions in the faculty lounge of Millsaps "where they can smoke and put their feet on the table" or out- of-doors when the weather is good. In all her discussions Miss Welty particularly stressed the independence needed for a wri- ter. She objected to detailed stories on a writer's life and writing habits. Instead she em- phasized the important need for all writers to be individuals and not to copy the ways of others. Feature Editor. Editorial Editors . . . Campus News Editor.

U.S.-India Exchange 1 IGroseelose Joins Miranda House Associate professor of bio- logy Nancy Groseclose will j Din the faculty of Miranda House, Delhi, India, this July as part of the United States- India Wo- men's College Exchange Pro- gram. The program sponsored visiting professor of political science Aley Philip at Agnes Scott fall quarter. In the third year, six Ameri- can professors selected from the applicants of the thirteen participating American col- leges receive appointments to the faculties of the six colleges which belong to the exchange program. This will be the first year that Agnes Scott professor has taught under the Indian sys- tem. In addition to the two lec- tures per week, Miss Grose- close will hold a seminar for Miranda House's biology pro- fessors to instruct them in the laboratory procedure of teach- ing embryology and histology. She has also been requested to assist in establishing a dean's offi' for co-ordinating student activities. Miranda House, an affiliate of the University of Delhi, has a student body of 1100. Oni" ,o 0 live in hostels, the India equivalent of dormi- tories. Classes are held in English. However, discussing her plans with other exchange professors, Miss Groseclose finds that her major problems under the In- dian college system will be in teaching by a syllabus towards a standard final examination which is issued and graded by the University of Delhi. In addition to the lack of freedom in planning and grad- ing, Miss Groseclose has been warned that there may be unex- pected holidays, lasting from one day to several weeks as the occasion calls for, which tend to disturb the progress of the class towards the completion of the syllabus and preparation for the standard examination. Because residence is not pro- vided, Miss Groseclose will live in a residence hotel for Euro- peans and Americans in Delhi. Teaching in Indian colleges under the programs this com- ing year are two professors from Randolph-Macon and one from both Sweetbriar and Mary Washington. While the students accept Western clothes when worn by Westerners, Miss Groseclose notes that she has been warned that if she is buying a new cock- tail dress, it should be color- ful,, She comments, "American women are noted for being drab at Indian parties." NSA Plans Congress At Illinois National Student Congress of NSA will be held August 21 through September 1 at the Uni- versity of Illinois.

Lynn Wilkins will represent Scott at the four-day Student Body President's Con- ference. NSA Co-ordina tor's Confer- ence is designed to communi- cate to the campus co-ordinator the aims and potential value of NSA programs through speak- ers, seminars and workshops. The Student Body President's Conference offers the student body presidents an opportunity to exchange ideas on programs they have undertaken in their colleges and universities and to study the opportunities and responsibilities of student gov- ernment in dealing with the problems of the students and colleges.

Bailey's Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Phone DR-3-0172 Tom Thumb" Shines For 50th by Susan Aikman and Virginia Russell The Golden Anniversary pro- duction of Blackfriars was ce- lebrated last weekend with alums helping to swell the ca- pacity crowds of Friday and Saturday nights. It was a grizzly affair as Ray Dykes stole the show in Field- ing's "Tragedy of Tragedies or The Life and Death of Tom Thumb the Great." The play, a satire of heroic drama of the seventeenth cen- tury, is seldom serious as it portrays courtly affairs ofTom Thumb, Grizzle, Princess Hun- camunca, Queen Dollalolla, King Arthur, and giantess Glumdalca the sides of an eternal polygon. The figure, however, proved to be tempo- ral as all characters lay dead at the end. The production of the play is an achievement for Miss Elvena Green. It was definitely the result of good direction as well as good acting. Hugh Loftin and Hermann Flaschka especi- ally turned in some fairy good Derby acting. Technical production of the play was handled very well by Miss Jerry Rentz. Each of the three perfor- mances had its unique quality. Friday night Hermann Flas- chka, as Noodle, lost not only his life but also his wig. Saturday afternoon in the si- lent moment preceding the king's last speech, Mrs. (Ger- man department) Huber's dau- ghter astutely informed the au- dience, "They're all dead." Saturday evening Frances Foreman, one of the "stout men," used her padding to full advantage as she gracefully ex- ecuted an accidental forward fall. Out of usual costume and na- tural habitat were two Agnes Scott professors Kwai Sing Chang and Michael Brown. The latter's role the Ghost of Gaffer Thumb was more than slightly reminiscent of Shakespeare^ "Hamlet." The production from sound effects and lighting to cos- tumes and scenery to delive- rance of lines was a fitting climax to the first fifty years of the Agnes Scott Blackfriars.

Advertisement - PAGE 4 APRIL 28, 1966 THE PROFILE MOCKINGS FROM RAMON A Dear Mom, Why didn't you warn me about the Cartwright family curse? You don't know what a shock it is to find out suddenly that your blood type is OB neutral. I've written the computer to see if it can quest for a boy who matches me. Meanwhile, my weird blood has not slowed down social life in the least. Recently I went to a baseball game. Actually, I had two dates for the night, and since I wanted the second guy who asked me to ask me out again, I didn't tell him I had a date, but said I had to go to a meeting. Well, naturally, he asked to come out when the meeting was over. . In the third inning I wormed my way to a phone in the rest room and called. It was so noisy that I had to shout. It made no small sensation when I yelled into the phone, "Well, the lec- ture's over, but now I think they're going to show a movie." I never did find out who won the game. I spent most of the time finding my way back to my seat. Then the brain I was with thought the game was over at the seventh inning stretch, so we left. Last weekend was Alumnae Day, as I learned the hard way. I had a cut in my class, so I slept late, then dashed to the mailroom in usual Saturday morn attire long nightgown, short raincoat, leopard-design bedroom shoes, rolled hair and purple scarf. You guessed it, Mom. Dr. Alston was conduct- ing a tour of the mailroom for the class of '99. Later, when dressed, I was talking to a graduate of 1920. She was amazed to hear about all the changes. She was most shocked to learn thatwehavean apartment policy. They had no such restrictions. Of course, I'm not sure they had apart- ments, either. I had not realized until last weekend how many truly famous people came to Scott. Why from the class of '99 there was Uneeda Cantelope who is now president of the PTA in Orangeburg, Greenland. Then there was Penelope Sch- linklenheimer. She tried out for "Captain Kangaroo" but is now a big TV star in her own right. Yes, she stars on the top-rated show "Private Pene- lope's Party Time" inElwood, Indiana. I was most impressed by Sal- ly Forth, the only Moral Re- Armament missionary to the Hunkydory tribe of deepest Af- rica. 1 was disappointed at the Dlackfriars play. The giant was neither a ball player from San Francisco nor one of those tall Globetrotters. Get it, Mom? Hee, hee. Actually, the play was terrific. Love, Ramona Decatur and North Decatur WOODROW WILSON WINNER Mary Brown presented her independent study results in the "Scholars at Work" series currently being presented on campus. Mary, here talking with Dr. Swart, her advisor, conducted a study on "Marx to Mao: The Revolutionary Role of the Peasant." London Appoints Swart For History Dr. Koenraad W. Swart has been appointed to the Chair of Dutch History and Institutions at University College of the Uni- versity of London. With the end of the current academic year he will there- fore resign his position of as- sociate professor of history at Agnes Scott College which he has held for the last ten years. In his new position, which has been held by many prominent Dutch historians, Dr. Swart will have a teaching load of not more than five hours a week so that he expects to have ample time for research. The first announcement that he was be- ing considered for this distin- guished position came as a com- plete surprise to him. Since he is an American citizen he hard- ly expected tha t the Dutch go- vernment, who is financing the Chair, would approve of his ap- pointment. His major field of interest is, moreover, not Dutch his- tory, but European intellectual history. Evidently the Univer- sity of London was looking for a qualified historian with broad Interests rather than a narrow specialist in Dutch history. Be- sides various articles he has published two books: Sale of Offices in the Seventeenth Cen- tury and The Sense of Decaden ce in Nin eteenth-Centur y Fran ce. Dr. Swart's appointment at thf University of London will bring to a close his teaching career in the United States. After having studied at the Uni- versity of Leiden, the Sorbonne, and Harvard University he be- came a permanent resident of this country in 1949 and has taught at the University of Ill- inois, Georgetown University, and Brenau College previous to his coming to Agnes Scott. He and his family plan to leave this country early this summer so that they will have time to find appropriate housing and schools for their four chil- dren. He will spent part of the summer in preparing the inaugural lecture which he will have to deliver at the Univer- sity of London next academic year. Although Dr. Swart is leaving Agnes Scott with mixed feelings, he is looking forward to his new teaching assignment at one of the world's leading institutions of higher learning. "The Univer- sity of London," stated Dr. Swart," has been a pioneer in granting complete freedom to faculty as well as students in expressing their political, phi- losophical, religious, or irre- ligious point of view. It was founded in the beginning of the nineteenth century with the ex- press purpose of marking an end to the domination of the Church of England over the English uni- versities of that time." New Leaders Confer, Plan At Retreat Lynne Wilkins, president of Student Government for 1966- 67, has announced that the an- nual spring leadership retreat will be in the Cabin at 5 p.m. on Sunday, May 8. Dr. Alston will address the joint meeting. Following the speech each board will meet to discuss plans for the coming year. Bring Shoe Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc.

Students Better, Grades Stable As perhaps students have suspected, professors continue giving about the same porpor- tion of good, medium, and fail- ing grades despite the greater ability and the better prepara- tion of today's students. A study by the Office of Eval- uation Studies at Georgia Tech indicates that although entering freshmen in 1965 scored con- siderably higher on the average than those in 1957 on the Scho- lastic Aptitude Tests and have better high school records, a "change in earned grade dis- tributions has not occurred." Why? It is believed that ma- terial at a higher or more in- tensive level is being offered, Dr. Sam Webb, director of eval- uation studies says. 'This sort of thing is happening in schools across the country wherever, by virtue of large numbers of applicants, schools are allowed to be selective," he concludes.
