an enrollment of 754, the larg-
est number in the history of
the college. The student body
includes 234 new students.

Returning students will find
a number of changes in faculty,

Retreat Sets Emergence
As Theme For 1966-67

Over 100 student government
officers and board members
met last week at Camp Calvin
for the annual leadership re-
treat.

At that time, the theme for
1966-67, Emergence, was in-
troduced in a general way and
developed by the various boards
in specific plans.

Lynne Wilkins, student body
president, and board presidents
talked with their respective
groups about what emergence
can mean this year, emergence
into the Atlanta area, into the
nation, into the world.

Lynne spoke especially about
emergence into the future by
now initiating programs which
may not be completed this year
and which certainlycannotre-
sult in concrete change or modi-
fication until a later tme.

Inspired by her work in the
area of higher education at the
National Student Association
conference, Lynne is enthusias-
tic about examining critically
but constructively education in
general, but especially as con-
ceived at Agnes Scott.

The trend of student govern-
ment this year will be from the
trivial detail to the broader as-
pects of why one is seeking an
education at Scott and what that
education means. With this in
mind, Marilyn Abendroth, vice-
president of student govern-
ment, advocated "working with
what we've got" in the realm of
social and governmental struc-
ture.

This does not mean that Rep
Council will not concern itself at
all with structural reform.
Work is planned specifically on
elections, the apartment policy,

by Ann Roberts

and the acquisition of a campus
car.

There was wide-spread feel-
ing, however, to decrease em-
phasis on legislation in favor of
conversation and study. With
this as a goal, Rep Councils
members asked themselves
such questions as "Is our rep-
resentation system adequate?
What is our responsibility to the
Honor System? How active
should students become in the
academic area? What should
be Rep Council's role in this
educational experimentation?
What does it mean to be a stu-
dent, not only in 1966 but in the
years to come? How can we bal-
ance the desire for change with
long range goals and continuity,
or is this necessary?'

Joint sessions of all retreat
participants were held for the
consideration of this general
trend. The first of these in-
cluded Lynne 's address on
Emergence

Other programs included a
movie on the year's theme and
its relevance to the past and
purpose of Agnes Scott. The
film was made by the Board
president's at their pre-Retreat
meeting. It starred and was
narrated by these leaders. The
picture was an effective com-
munication means, as well as a
good emergence into a realm of
student creativity.

Following the movie, discus-
sion was carried on in small
groups, each with a special
question to consider and an-
swer.

Higher education was dis-
cussed by a student-faculty pan-
el at one session. Each partici-
pant stated his conception of

education and how well Scott
fits it. The group then con-
sidered such questions as the
advantages and disadvantages of
a "moratorium education, " the
questionable validity but prob-
able necessity of grades, the
possibility of a pass/fail sys-
tem, the lack of intellectual ini-
tiative on the part of students
and the faculty's responsibility
for the frequent lack of oppor-
tunity for such initiative.

Members of the audience were
free to ask frank questions of
the panel; the tone of the even-
ing was one of free, blunt ex-
change. Perhaps its greatest
value was this openness. When
Lynne asked that the panel end
what was rather a negative ses-
sion with a search for the good
and positive things at Scott, the
general feeling, voiced in turn
by each faculty member of the
panel, was that the opportunity
and ability to question and dis-
cuss the situation is one of
Scott's greatest assets.

Retreat closed with a talk by
President Wallace Alston which
included a hopeful preview of
the coming year.

Physical changes on the cam-
pus include the addition of Mc-
Cain Cottage for living space
and the installation of telephone
outlets in all dormitory rooms.

New offices for President
Wallace Alston and his secre-
tary have been completed on
the south wing of Buttrick's
first floor.

Also in Buttrick, fluorescent
lighting has been installed and
office and lounge space added.

Library

Robert Frost and Agnes Scott
rooms have been decorated on
the second floor of the library.
The Robert Frost and rare
book collections will be housed
there.

A large area of Campbell
basement, including the general
storage space formerly housing
the AA bicycles, has been con-
verted into a much-needed lab

Mrs. Stack
Dies In
August

Elizabeth Cole Stack, asso-
ciate professor of education and
chairman of the department,
died August 6 after a brief ill-
ness.

She was attending the NDEA
Media Institute at the Universi-
ty of Arizona in Tucson at the
time of her death.

Mrs. Stack joined the Agnes
Scott faculty in 1959. She was
a member of the Georgia and
National Councils of Social
Studies, the advisory board of
SOCIAL EDUCATION (the
journal of the National Council
of Social Studies), and in 1963-
64 was vice-chairman of the
Georgia Council of Teacher
Education.

Funeral services were held
August 10 in Raleigh, North
Carolina.

and equipped through a National
Science Foundation grant for
that purpose.

One of the most obvious ad-
ditions is the fountain and pool
in front of the Infirmary.

Less obvious are the exten-
sive repairs made to under-
ground electrical and steam
lines. This was emergency
action, resulting from the
bursting of some pipes during
the summer.

Looking ahead, lectures for
this session include Cleanth
Brooks, Blanche Dow, Stanton
Evans, -Maxwell Taylor, Eugene
Patterson, Juana de Laban,
Harold Bosley, Abraham Katsh,
Rufus Harris, Michael Grant,
and Rolo May.

The Baroque Chamber Play-
ers of the University of Indiana
will perform andMoliere's "Le
Misanthrope" will be present-
ed.

A special symposium, 'The
Modern City," will be held in
the spring. It is hoped and
tentatively planned that Robert
Weaver, Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development, will
be present.

Gives Fountain
inney's Memory

Members of the family of
Louise McKinney, retired pro-
fessor of English who died in
January of 1965, have given
the school a fountain and pool
in her memory.

The fountain, begun the first
of September, is located in front
of the Infirmary in the area
between the two staircases. The
landscape architect for the
project is Mrs. Edith Hender-
son of Atlanta.

Plans for the fountain call for
an oval pool 17' 6* x8' 4"xl5"
with a perpetual 6' spray. Two
accompanying bird baths will

be mounted on either side of the
pool on the staircase walls.

The pool will be brick topped
with crab orchard stone. Shrub-
bery will be arranged to com-
plement the setting.

According to Wallace Alston,
president, Miss McKinney loved
nature. Therefore the family
felt that a fountain with bird
baths would be an appropriate
way to honor her memory.

Miss McKinney came to Scott
in 1891,two years after the col-
lege was founded. In addition
to teaching, Miss McKinney
served as chaperone, house
mother, Registrar, and Direc-

Presidents Welcome
Freshmen, Returnees

We would like to extend our
welcome to the class of 1970,
and to all returning students.
We welcome you all as members
of this community of students.

It is our hope that you will
take advantage of the learning
opportunities provided for you,
not only in the realm of the in-
tellectual, but in all phases of
development. We recommend
participation in extra-curricu-
lar activities.

Through Representative Coun-
cil and student forums, we are
encouraged to develop an at-
mosphere of conversation; and
individual and community re-
sponsibility.

Through our understanding of
the Honor System in Judicial
Council, we are encouraged to
develop integrity that charac-
terizes the life of a mature
student.

As members of Christian As-
sociation, we have the oppor-
tunity to examine our funda-
mental commitments , and to
grow in our response to the in-
dividual's social and spiritual
needs.

Athletic Association promotes
a spirit of co-operation and par-
ticipation through athletic and
recreational activities.

Social Council provides the
student with the opportunity to
develop socially as they have
developed in other areas; it

helps promote a balance of
personality.

Although the structure of
these organizations reflect spe-
cific areas of interest, we are
working together in the common
concerns of the contemporary
student. Student Government
is a shared responsibility.
Without your interest and your
work, we cannot accomplish our
common task.

Sincerely,

Lynne Wilkins,
President of Student Government

tor of
mittee.

According to the late James
Ross McCain, president emeri-
tus, her strict and accurate
methods in admissions proced-
ure and in setting standards
played a large part in Agnes
Scott Institute's being chartered
as a college in 1906.

She was graduated from the
State Teacher's College in her
home town, Farmville, Virgin-
ia. The college, however, did
not confer degrees and Miss
McKinney was called to Scott
before she could finish work on
a degree at Vassar.

For the 46 years that she
taught at Agnes Scott she never
"had a college degree. She was,
for the most part, a self-edu-
cated woman.

After her retirement, Miss
McKinney lived in the small
white house between Winship
and the Dining Hall. Her 74
years at Scott is the longest
tenure in the history of the col-
lege.

Judicial to devote more time to
larger concepts of the honor
system, Reorganization pro-
posed and Rep Council approved
the establishment of a rotating
committee within the judicial
structure.

This committee, composed of
seven members of Judicial
Council, shall handle all minor
infringements of the honor sys-
tem (i.e. improper chaperon-
age, lateness, etc.)

All members of Judicial with
the exception of the officers,
shall rotate onto this committee
for a period of two months.

The rotating committee will
meet on Mondays before the
meeting of Judicial Council so
that a case can be reviewed by
the entire Judicial Council of
necessary. All appeals will be
handled by Judicial as a whole.

Reorganization Committee at
present is discussing the pos-
sibilities of a fall election, held
by the day students, of the day
student chairman. The commit-
tee is also considering the use
of preferential ballots in the
campus elections.

If any student would like to
make suggestions to the com-
mittee or ask any questions,
they should contact one of the
members who are as follows:
Anne Allen, Carol Blessing, Lee
Hunter, Eleanor McCallie,
Peggy Moore, Jane McCurdy,
Lynne Wilkins, Ellen Wood,
and Zolly Zollicoffer, chair-
man.

Retreat Speech

Emergence Today
Toward Tomorrow

by Lynne Wilkins Student Body President

For a brief moment at Berkeley, the machine stoppedl Yet
today little seems to have changed. Berkeley goes on and the
machine continues much as it did before. It looks quite the
same, students are the same, but these are only appearances.

The moment's pause was sufficient for students, for edu-
cators, to step back and take a conscientious look at themselves.
Education was forced into painful moment of self-awareness.
Few understood.

Many were horrified and shocked. Many chose to ignore what
was happening. Some were encouraged, and new patterns of pro-
gress were begun.

Though the following year evidenced far fewer dramatic epi-
sodes of student protest against either administrative or edu-
cational policies, the situation was far from quiescent. At San
Francisco State, students conceived and initiated their own free
university, outside the university structure, run and taught for
the most part by the students themselves.

In more and more colleges and universities, students pressed
for curricular reform, more voice in academic policy making,
and more relevence for their education. The one shot protests
have begun to seem less important than long range reform*

Yet in this last year, one central fact has emerged, that
students have arrived as a new voice, "a fourth estate which
is taking its place beside the traditional estates of administra-
tion, faculty, and trustees." We have discovered that the best
thing going for change is students.

Activism

What is more, the situation is irreversable. No longer will
students be able to sit back and accept their education as
spoonfed. The mood is activism and the tense active not
passive.

Students are not merely demanding a voice in education,
not merely protesting in negative terms, but they are insisting
that their education become meaningful - the very best that they
can make it.

What is happening is the emergence of the "new student' .
The term student itself is being re-defined, re-outlined, re-
opened, and certainly expanded.

What is actually new among students is a new understanding
and a new maturity about the aims of education and the methods
of realizing these aims.

No longer is the here and the now the only criterion it is
tomorrow, next year, and better worlds that have become the
students' battlecry.

They have become concerned with the roots of the problem
what is education? They are no longer willing to accept un-
criticized, such traditional definitions as Jefferson's "the pur-
pose of education is to provide adequate information to insure
the survival of democracy". (Continued on page 7)

Atlanta's Advantages
Include Food, Drama

by Ann Roberts

It would be very difficult to
find a freshman who did not
give Atlanta as one of her rea-
sons for coming to Scott. And
rightly so, for Atlanta has cul-
tural and entertainment advan-
tages surpassing any other city
in the South.

Knowing exactly what there
is, however, is a different story.
So humbly I offer this guide to
exciting life in the Big City,
with the sincere hope that you
can find someone who will take
you even one of these places.

There is always an oppor-
tunity for music, from the At-
lanta Symphony to folk and rock
V roll artists. Ticket sellers
will soon be on campus with in-
formation about exactly what
will be available this year.
One thing to remember is that
Joan Sutherland opens the sym-
phony series, October 20.

Choral and instrumental con-
certs, free or modestly priced,
are held regularly at Emory
and Georgia State.

Of course the musical high-
light of the year is opera week,
the first week in May. Watch
for the microscopic announce-
ments of ticket sales in late
winter.

Drama

Plays also are easy to find
in Atlanta. Theatre-Atlanta is
the oldest and best-established
group; they are moving into a
lovely new theatre soon.

This does not mean, however,
that one should neglect the
Academy Theatre, known for
its Shakespeare; tne Pocket
Theatre, ratheravant-garde;or
the Barn DinnerTheatre, where
drama and dinner come togeth-
er.

Fine fried ig^a' fast-growing
business in this town and there
are numerous good places, new
and old. If you're dating a
Rockefeller, you might try the
Chateau Fleur de Liss.

The rest of us stick to such
places as The Round Table, The
Lion's Head, Coach and Six,
Mammy's Shanty, Yohannan's,
or Top of the Mart.

For foreign cuisine, there is
House of Eng, Emile's French
Cafe, Caruso's Italian Restau-
rant, and El Mexicano.

Want a bit of the usual (and
variety)? Drop by Seven Steers,
The Iron Horse, The Maid's
Quarters, Nosh O'Rye, the
Prince George Inn, or Ruby
Red's Warehouse,

For a taste of English pub
life, complete with London
sandwiches and such, plus a
swinging dance atmosphere,
check out The Hound's Tooth, a
newcomer to the list of "spots."

If you're an art lover, there's
always something around for
you to admire. The High Mu-
seum is the oldest and standard
place, but there are many gal-
leries about, notably Atlanta
University Center, Berman-
Lipton, Georgia State College,
Mandorla Gallery. And there

are more springing up all the
time.

There's a lot of art just stand-
ing out on the streets, for exam-
ple, Sears in Buckhead, the
First Federal Building, Peach-
tree Center and its sculpture.

And who can overlook the new
big-time sports action. The
Braves have been doing un-
usually well lately, with Hank
Aaron, Filipe Alou, and Joe
Torre as popular as ever. The
just-born Atlanta Falcons are
beginning what should be an ex-
citing season. And a visit to that
beautiful stadium is worth it, no
matter what the team does on
the field.

M

ovies

By the way, while you're glan-
cing over the amusement sec-
tion of the paper, seeking a mov-
ie for this Saturday night, don't
overlook the Festival Cinema,
brand new and amazingly tiny,
showing film classics and se-
lected short subjects.

And while you're taking in all
this culture, don't forget about

the old stand-bys Stone

Mountain with its terrific new
park and many attractions, the
Cyclorama, Grant Park Zoo,
the Wren's Nest, home of Joel
Chandler Harris.

Seek out fun things for your-
self. Be creative. And tell me
what you find. Above all, have
a great time. It's a great town.

Freshmen Tell Rewards,
Upsets Of First Days

During the recent Georgia
)rimary the candidates have
been interviewied by so many
reporters that they could never
count them.

I decided that it was time to
forget the candidates and re-
member the freshmen. So as
a result, five freshmen, chosen
at random, were interviewed
about their first days at Scott.

Kathy Johnson of Lakeland,
Florida is now rooming on 2nd
Walters. When she arrived at
Scott, she was lost on the steps
of Main. Senior Judy Barnes
just happened to be there and
thus became the first person
Kathy met on this campus.

According to this Floridian,
her biggest dissappointment at
Scott so far has been the weath-
er. She thinks the food in the
dining hall is "marvelous"
and has not been at all disap-
pointed there.

Sharon Maxwell, another res-
ident of second Walters, is also
a Floridian from Panama
City. Marsha Davenport, her
house president, was the first
person who greeted her on the
campus.

Unforgettable

Sharon says she hasn't had
any disappointments thus far,
but she has had a very unfor-
gettable experience. On the
night of the dance, she saw an

body, this board is composed
of six representatives from
each of its four regions, three

upperclassman in a night gown
with a wedding veil and atten-
dants carrying her train wan-
dering around campus. Sharon
found this quite unusual and so
did the boy she was with.

Sandra Parrish didn't have to
adjust to the weather because
she just moved a few miles.
She is from Decatur and went
to Towers High School. She,
too, thinks the food is great, but
she has serious doubts about
the reliability of the elevators.
She and seven other people got
stuck in Inman's now infamous
elevator for 30 minutes while
she was trying to get to her
room on second. She said the
others in there were on her hall
and they really had a chance to
get to know eath other.

Richmond

Freshman Mary Ellen (M'El-
len) Gordon of Richmond, Va.
may be one of the quietest mem-
bers of the class the first few
days. She was out in the rain
so much she caught a terrible
cold and could hardly talk. She
croaked that that has been her
biggest disappointment and her
most unforgettable experience.

M'Ellen and three other
freshmen from Richmond were
met at the train by Lou Frank
at around 6 a.m. Lou was
there to meet one of the other
Richmond girls and brought
them all back to campus.

As for the picnic and dance,
M'Ellen did not like having to
stay with her group, but she
says she did have a good time.

Bryn Couey arrived from
Tampa, Florida Friday and
went to her dorm, Inman. On
the steps she met Nan Hart who
asked if she could help her.

Nan found out who Bryn's orien-
tation group was and discovered
that her own roommie, Terri
Langston, was one of the mem-
bers.

Disappointment

Bryn very candidly admitted
that her biggest disappointment
at Scott has been "Georeia
Tech boys." That, however,
has been her only disappoint-
ment. As for Scott itself, she
says, "It is everything I ever
thought it would be. Inevermet
so many neat people in my
life,"

She thought the picnic was
very ' interesting." At least

you got to talk to the boys
and find out what kind of engi-
neers they were going to be."

So now the Agnes Scott
thoughts have been switched
hopefully, from politics to
orientation and freshmen, who
are after all people and not just
names and statistics.

year while Miss Nancy Grose-
close is spending the year
teaching in Delhi, India.

She arrived in the United
States on June 18 and went to
Evanston, Illinois for an eight
week summer institute at
Northwestern University.

Miss Samuel will teach em-
bryology fall quarter to upper-
classmen. She will also be an
instructor in the lab for in-
troductory biology students.

She is very impressed with
the biology facilities here at
Scott, but she says 'They can-
not compare with those of a
university; they are real good
for a college."

Because she arrived at the
time that most of the new stu-
dents did, she has not yet met
many of the students and gotten
to know them. She is looking
forward to doing this in many
ol the labs and classes this
quarter and the rest of the year.

The Calvin Story

New Directions

Judging from what went on at retreat, very tangibly in the dis-
cussions and less tangibly in the general feeling, student govern-
ment is taking a turn toward the more profound this year.

We find this admirable. Student government is general and
Rep Council in particular have too long been bogged down in the
trivial and often unimportant aspects of Scott.

ft is time that someone on this campus started examining
this campus in terms of the education offered and the education
received. We decided during the summer to direct our coverage
that way this year. And we were enormously pleased to discover,
in mid-August and the midst of the NSA Congress, that Rep
Council was planning the same change in approach.

We look forward to working with student government in this
area, but want to say a few things about our peculiar position.

Since this is a place of education, what goes on in the class-
room, method and matter, are more important than and deserve
at least as much press space as what goes on in the evening
lecture hall or the Hub. We intend to act accordingly.

Secondly, we are actively seeking participation from the
faculty. It is rumored that you read the PROFILE; therefore,
you must have some kind of reaction to it. We wish you would
write it to us in an occasional letter.

Finally, we think that this year's paper will be the sort that
draws many letters and pleasant surprise in the dining hall
and angry shouts in the Hub. We hope so at least. It is not
so much that we plan to create scandal. We simply intend to
seek available news in previously-overlooked or politely-ignored
places.

We look forward to a meaningful year for student govern-
ment and for the PROFILE. We hope you share our enthusiasm.

Revised Dress Policy

by Joy Griffin
Social Council

The results are out on the revision of the dress policy, which
was presented to the administration by Social Council last year.

Upperclassmen will remember that a suggestion sheet for
changes in the policy was posted after a controversy about roll-
ed-up hair. Two revisions were requested by Social Council on
the basis of the student suggestions. It was asked that rollers
be allowed in the Lower Dining Hall during the week and that
sports attire be acceptable in the Rebekah date parlors.
The administration has approved the change of dress for the
date parlors in Rebekah. However, rollers will not be admitted
in the LDH other than at breakfast, Friday and Saturday nights,
and during the snack bar hours at night.

The policy also stresses that scarves be worn to cover rolled-
up hair.

The revised dress policy is the result of student suggestion,
plus the joint effort of Social Council and the administration.
As always, student co-operation is needed for the success of
the policy.

Congratulations

We congratulate the administration on its abolishment of Sat-
urday chapel.

Of course, this removes one of the PROFILE'S editorial
campaigns for the year. But we are glad we do not have to make
a campaign about the problem. We are happy to see that the
administration is willing to examine those things which are no
longer needed, or at least wanted, and to change them in accord-
ance with their findings.

Participants Reacte Favorably

The following are reactions
to retreat, specifically in an-
swer to the question, how do you
feel about the general tone of
retreat and about the effective-
ness of the specific programs?

Eleanor McCallie, president
of the junior class: We're
made a promise to each other
to try something. I feel a sense
of determination and obligation.
I like the idea of exploring
higher education. What we
really want from Rep Council
and the other boards is to fit in
by making the goal we work
toward more enjoyable and
broader. I feel the biggest de-
termination about higher edu-
catioa It's what we've promis-
ed each other. I think the most
important part of retreat is the
free time when we can get to
know people.

Kathy Reynolds, senior judi-
cial representative: The thing
that impressed me most is the
wish that everyone could have
the experience of retreat. It
gave me a perspective on the
entire year. I know where to
start and where I'm going. I
liked the film and was especially
impressed to learn they had

made it only the week before^
I'm glad to know they were not
afraid to try something new.

I got a lot out of visiting
board meetings and tossing
ideas d round. It helps you be
more concrete later. I es-
pecially liked the panel discus-
sion and hope to follow it up
with a very similar program on
campus. The interchange was

Search On In Quad
For Lost Frat Pin

by Susan Aikman

Would you believe people
searching the quad for a fra-
ternity pin from 12:30 Friday
night and starting again Satur-
day night?

Friday night a junior and her
date returned from an evening
on the town. As they got out of
the car, his frat pin came un-
snapped. So he quickly put it
in his pocket and they raced
across the quad to the D.O.

When they returned to Rebe-
kah, he discovered that he no
longer had the pin (Sigma Nu)
in his pocket. Somehow, some-
where, sometime, it had fallen
out on the quad in the grass.

Tliuy searched Friday night,
but decided it would be more
sensible to look the next morn-
ing.

Would you believed it rained
Friday ni^ht?

Saturday morning several
juniors and a certain Georgia
State Sigma Nu were seen on
the quad ruining their shoes
and their eyes and causing a
great deal of questioning from
passers-by as they looked for
the pin.

The questions that were ask-
ed were varied. One bright
person asked the five people
feeling through the grass if
they had lost a contact lens*.

Some hopeful person said,
"Are you looking for four leaf \
clovers?" In the grass I

Finally at 10 o'clock a break
was called for breakfast. At
that time they had collected a
Fresca cap, a Fanta orange
cap, a light bulb, a dog bone, a
heel from a shoe, and a stray
cat.

The search began again at 3
p.m. that afternoon. The night
watchman, several campus
workers, and even Dr. Alston
joined in.

Dr. Alston was heard to re-
mark, "If it were an ATO pin,
I'd get down on my hands and
knees to look, but since it is just
a Sigma Nu pin, Til do it stand-
ing up."

However, the searching came
to no avail. At press time, the
pin is still lying out on the quad
someplace . It anyone finds it,
please return it to Alice Har-
rison.

really wonderful. Students were
not afraid to say what they
think. On many other campuses
students would not have the

right, much less the courage, to
speak up that way. As Dean

Kline said, that ability and op-
portunity is one of the best
things we have at Scott.

Debbie Guptil, SILHOUETTE
features editor: I think retreat
was very well organized. The
buzz session was quite good and
the panel was excellent. Every-
one was completely frank and
got a lot out of it. From visit-
ing all the boards I got a much
better idea of how they work and
what they do. I believe Rep
Council should consider the
question of education and work
more with the faculty. We need
to see their position and have
both views better known.

Barbara Dowd, senior judicial
representative: The panel dis-
cussion gave me the strongest
feeling of being back at school.
Before we talked about educa-
tion but were involved in every-
thing else. The panel gave me
perspective toward the coming
year and I want to keep that in
mind. I hope we can commun-
icate to the rest of the campus
not just what we did at retreat,
but the feeling we had. We need
to explain the theme. I'm so
caught up in it now, and so hop-
ing I can keep it in mind during
the year.

Penny Burr, sophomore judi-
cial representative; Ttye panel
was particularly effective. I
found the joint sessions most
valuable. Judicial Board is dif-
ferent in that we discussed con-
cepts and ideas rather than con-
crete plans. We tried to set
the tone for the honor system
this year. It was good person-
ally for people who had never
gotten together before to sit
down and share ideas. I think
education is a very valid area
of investigation for Rep Coun-
cil. We need to evaluate the
system at Agnes Scott. We are
becoming better known and
more of a force in the nation
and the standards we set and the
system we have ^relates to that.

Summer With New York
Project Valuable For Stubbs

VT/

This summer I participated
in the YVVCA New York City
Project with 38 other students
from all over the U.S.A. There
were ten boys and twenty-nine
girls in the project.

We lived together in the Res-
idence Hall of the New York
Medical Center. The purpose of
the project was to learn about
New York City, its people, its
places and its problems.

We did this primarily through
work in social agencies. Each
of us worked at one of twelve
agencies, such as YWCA day
camps, the Floating Hospital or
Barbanas House.

1 was employed in a play-
school of the Henry St. Settle-
ment, located in the Lower East
Side. Besides our work, we
learned about New York through
weekly seminars, lectures from
many various people, field trips
and visits all over the city.

During -.the first four days we
had an-iintensive and fairly ex-
tensive orientation program.

We di'd a wide range of things,
such as tour the stock market;
eat lunch in Chinatown (i used
chopsticks successfully on
everything but the tea); go to
City Hall, where we met the
President of Manhattan (a most
impressive Negro lady) and sat
in on a Board of Estimates
meeting (unfortunately Mayor
Lindsey was in Washington so
we didn't get to see him)

We also visited an urban re-
newal area in the West Side,
where a Catholic priestdiscus-
sed with us the housing prob-
lems there.

We went to the Shakespeare
festival in Central Park (we
sat in line an hour and a half
waiting for the free tickets, but
we were well entertained watch-
ing kite flyers, playing with a
frisbee, and singing.

We visited a church in Cen-
tral Harlem and had a discus-
sion with leaders in the area
afterwards; and attended an off-
Broadway production of two ex-
cellent one-act plays.

"Fun-City"

Most of us then had a week
of job orientation before we
started work with the children.
During fflis time A : e other stu-
dents and'f went out every night
to ..explore "Fun-City/'

We didn't remain in our "in-
timate" group of 39, but rath-
er went out in smaller groups,
usually a different one each
night. It was a good opportun-
ity to get to know each other,
as well as a little bit about the
city.

We frequented the Village,
went to Times Square, took a
trip to Coney Island, and rode
t-ie State Island Ferry (can't
beat the five cents price I),
among other things.

After work started, our night
life subsided somewhat but we
continued to go out a few times
each week. Our budgets prohib-
ited too many gala "nights on
the town," so we took advant-
age of the many excellent op-
portunities for free entertain-
ment.

The Philharmonic gave three
free concerts in Central Park.
Everyone (70,000 people)
brought blankets and sat on the
ground to listen.

The first performance was
especially thrilling, because
Bernstein conducted. I also
went to the other Shakespeare
plays, and I naturally had many
more rides on the good oldSta-
ten Island Ferry.

Most of my waking hours

by Kathey Stubbs

were not spent being enter-
tained, however. The "boldest-
purple" memory I have of my
summer is my job at the play-
school.

Cullen Hayashida, a senior
at the University of Hawaii, was
my co-worker. We had a job
corps girl helping us in our
work with 17 seven year-olds
(and believe me, we used all
the help we could get I).

The children were predomi-
nantly Negro and Puerto Rican.

They were at playschool from
9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. five days
a week.

We played games in a room
at the playschool, used the gym
facilities, and played in the
neighborhood parks. Fortu-
nately Cullen was talented in
arts and crafts, so we did quite
a bit of hand work.

The children produced some
surprisingly good works. I
helped them do some cooking,
which was also successful (ex-
cept for the one time we spill-
ed cake batter all over the oven) c

Central Park

We took a couple of trips:
one to the Central Park Zoo and
one to a farm in upper state
New York.

The best part of the work
was getting to know the child-
ren and seeing their growth
and development. By visiting
the homes I was able to un-
derstand the children much bet-
ter.

Some of the housing condi-
tions were pretty poor, but most
lived in high rise low-income
apartments. There were many
unfortunate conditions in the.
families, and the work was at
times depressing.

The people were generally
warm and friendly, however,
and it was delightful getting to
know them. It was a sad day at
Henry Street for me when play-
school ended.

The summer was a fantastic
learning experience. The semi-
nars were helpful in giving us a
better understanding of the
prevailing conditions in various
parts of the City.

The trips, such as a visit to
Night Court and a day in East
Harlem, allowed us to see the
conditions for ourselves and
meet individuals who were try-
ing to change them.

I had my eyes opened to ways
of life I rarely thought about or
even knew existed. The expos-
ure to completely different sys-
tems of values was especially
educational.

The greatest thing about the
summer was the opportunity it
afforded to get to know all
kinds of people.

The students on the project
were terrific, especially my
roommate from Berkeley (the
neatest thing I learned about
Berkeley was that my room-
mate's two professors in Social
Psychology are two of the au-
thors of our social psych book,
which is one of my all-time-
favorite texts).

I will never forget the won-
derful children from the Lower
East Side.

I only wish I had taken them
on more trips in my spare
hme, because the Sunday trip
to Central Park with Nadine
and Rose Mary and the Saturday
trip to the swimming pool on
Staten Island with Owen, Jos-
eph, Philip, William, and Cul-
len were two of the most fun
things I did all summer.

I enjoyed talking with all kinds
of people, like a wonderful old

lady I met at the Central Park
Zoo who had been an opera star
in her youngerdays (she showed
me the program of her last per-
formance), a darling man who
runs the candy store at the
bottom of the Empire State
Building, and a medical student
who had gone to Princeton and
had been in the studio on that
decisive day last March (he
wasn't real pleased when he
first discovered I was from
A.S.C... but we became friends
and later went to see the Beatles
together).

As one old New Yorker said:
of the city : "It's a great plac
to live, but I wouldn't want to
visit there." I heartily recom-
mend living in NYC to anyone
vwio wants a liberal education
and an experience of joy.

New Test Available To Distinguish
Between Mono And Depression

As millions of students re-
turn to classes, school and col-
lege physicians and nurses soon
will be faced with long lines of
young men and women com-
plaining of feeling tired and
listless and having other diffi-
culty-to-pin-down symptoms.

Some students will simply be
suffering from laziness. But
many otherswill have a legiti-
mate reason for 'back-to-
school slump' infectious mon-
onucleosis a common back-
to-school disease which in the
past has been more difficult to
diagnose than to treat.

Close Contact

A theory that "mono" is
transmitted by close personal
contact has led college students
to romantically call it the
"kissing disease". Yet, when
it strikes, infectious mononu-
cleosis can be one of the most
miserable experiences in a stu-
dent's life. Recovery can be
slow and every day lost from
school can endanger marks and
play havoc with education plans.

Now, experts have found that
it can be an indicator of emo-
tional streets.

Recent studies conducted by the
Tulane University School of So-
cial Work revealed that high
school and college students who
were being treated for mono
were momentarily depressed at
the time they became ill. Thus,
mono becomes a trigger for
drop-outs, an excuse for failing
to repeat a year, a last straw
for requesting medical excuses
for postponement of examina-
tions.

Problem

In addition, mono is also a
serious problem because of its
ability to mimic other ailments
including appendicitis and hepa-
titis. One authority, in fact,
reports that no fewer than 29
separate maladies can be mis-
taken for mono if diagnostic
procedures are imprecise.
These ailments may call for
exploratory surgery to verify
or potent drugs to treat, while
the usual treatment for mono
is three to six weeks' bed rest,
aspirin and gargles.

Therefore, because of the
possibility of a mono patient
being subjected to the risk of
being diagnosed and treated in-
correctly, physicians have been
searching for a quick and accu-
rate test to confirm or rule out

the disease. The Tulane study
further indicates the need for
early detection of the disease
since postponement of needed
bed rest adds to the stress and
makes for emotional as well as
physical complications.

This year, however, it will be
less difficult for school health
officials to tell whether a list-
less student is discouraged
about his exams, malingering,
seriously ill, or another victim
of mono. Pharmaceutical re-
search has come up with an im-
portant new development the
"Mono-Test" --a simple, in-
expensive diagnostic test which
quickly, and happily for the
patient, reveals the presence of
mono in only two minutes. Us-
ing the new test, physicians can
now immediately order bed rest
and spare the patient further
diagnostic procedures and de-
lay in treatment.

With the new "Mono-Test"
diagnostic blood-testing for
mono becomes readily accessi-
ble. "Mono-Test" is distribu-
ted by Wampole Laboratories
of Stamford, Connecticut to in-
dividual medical groups and
school and campus health cen-
ters as well as to hospitals
and laboratories.

Two Minutes

"Mono-Test" is so simple
that any medical technician can
report immediate results in two
minutes. It can be performed
by a doctor in his office using
only a glass slide, a blood
sample from the patient and the
control samples provided in the
kit.

In addition, this new diag-
nostic test is inexpensive. To
screen an entire school or uni-
versity class costs only about
one dollar per student. Before
the introduction of this quick
screening method it would have
been almost unheard of to test
a large number of students be-
cause conventional diagnostic
techniques were too expensive
and too time consuming.

Roach Explains Scott's Participation At NSA

The National Student Con-
gress of The US National Stu-
dent Association is the oldest,
largest, and most representa-
tive student meeting in the coun-
try,

Agnes Scott has been a mem-
ber since 1949 and as an active
member this year sent Lynne
Wilkins, Student Body Presi-
dent and me to represent ASC
at the congress.

Preceding the congress Lynne
attended the Student Body Pres-
ident's Conference and I attend-
ed the NSA Co-ordinator's Con-
ference. I was given a thorough
orientation to NSA : n s goals,
history, programs, personnel
while Lynne studied areas of
student government concern.

it was, however, the Congress
which we found most stimulat-
ing and exciting. NSA has main-
tained the reputation of a lib-
eral and even left-winged or-
ganization because of its early
and strong support for the civil
rights movement and the con-
sequent disaffiliation of Ynany
of the southern and more con-
servative schools.

Last year, legislation on the
war in Viet Nam was wrongly
interpreted by the mass media
as radical. We observed two
things in relation^ to this. First,
the disaffiliation movement
left the conservatives who re-
mained fledging without strong
leadership.

Although many of the schools
are now coming back in, the con-
servative element was not yet
organized at this year's Con-
gress and was totally ineffec-
tive as a pressure group.

Mid nielli Caucus

All real political activity thus
took place in the liberal cau-
cus meetings which went on
every night at midnight. (As
an unofficial outgrowth of the
Congress, the political caucus-
es were not included in the tight
schedule and could only meet
when nothing else was sched-
uled.)

Lynne and I attended these
meetings, primarily as obser-
vers, because we believed they
would be the source of the final
legislation. We were wrong.

There was strong division
within the caucus between the
regular liberals and the left-
wing radicals.

A very high tension level
was sustained until the final
night before legislation began
when the radicals walked out
and the caucus split - too late
for either to be effective.

Secondly, reaction to what
went on was registered as un-
favorable by most delegates.
While being convinced of the
value of the National Student
Congress, Lynne and I reflect-
ed tins dissatisfaction with the
legislative procedure.

My committee, which was

drafting the international legis-
lation, met for fourteen straight
hours. The last six were spent
on Viet Nam and by the time
fojr a.m. came we were ready
to pass anything which is ex-
actly what I think happened.

Again on the plenary floor-
after the major issues were
passed a railroading process
began, which was stopped, but
as a result many drafts were
never considered.

We noticed one additional
thing many schools which
have just re-affiliated withNSA
were at the Congress in more
of an observation than partici-
pation role. Their presence
was perhaps evidenced more
clearly in the voting, for in my
opinion all truly radical legis-
lation failed.

ASC Reputation

Agnes Scott's reputation at
NSA was the one thing which
struck Lynne and me as most
remarkable about our exper-
ience at the Congress, and the
longer we stayed the more re-
markable it seemed.

At first we accepted it nat-
urally, being accustomed to
hearing praise of Agnes Scott,
but gradually, as the days pass-
ed and we began to have a new
awareness of ASC as she stands
in comparison with student ac-
tivity on other campuses. We
began to marvel at our reputa-
tion.

I would hasten to add it is a
good reputation that of a lib-
eral and alive school in a con-
servative and sleeping south.

We decided this was due pri-
marily to Jean Hoefer, who rep-
resented Scott in 1964 and was
elected to national office and
re-elected in 1965.

She was highly respected in
the organization and she was
constandy talking about Scott.
Secondly, in 1964 and 1965
Agnes Scott was the only school
from the Great South East Re-
gion (Georgia and Florida) rep-
resented at the congress.

Voting

When role call votes were
called for the Great South East,
one constant vote stood out as
quite obvious (if somewhat in-
effective) in comparison with
the 39 votes of the Met New
York region or the 37 of the
California-Hawaii-Nevada re-
gion.

Agnes Scott's vote at the Con-
gress was as much as possible
determined by the returns of
the questionnaire last spring.
The questionnaire was given to
everyone who came to lunch
on June 3, 1966 approxi-
mately five hundred students.
Only 245 were returned and
while this is clearly not a ma-
jority of the campus, the pur-
pose of the questionnaire was

by Helen Roach
NSA Coordinator

clearly
refused

ndicated and those who
to return it simply

their right to be repre-

voided
sented.

The actual results of the
questionnaire will be posted in
two weeks along with the votes
we cast and the resolutions
passed.

In general, however, the re-
turns of the questionnaire were
in favor of the status quo or
continuance in a direction that
has already been taken. Only
on the question of Red China
did we favor any new direction,
any complete change.

This gave us a conservative
stance at the Congress and put
us somewhat out of the main-
stream of student thinking, as
it was represented at the Con-
gress.

There were many newspaper
and magazine articles written
NSA COORDINATOR ROACH COM- about the Congress while we
PARES NOTES on the NSA Congress were in session. The article
with Student Body president Lynne i n Time Magazine is probably

most familiar to people at Agnes

Wilkins.

Saga Takes Over
Dining Hall Operation

Bill Rodgers, manager of
Saga, the new food service at
Agnes Scott, is optimistic about
his future here. "For a while
we'll be slow, but let us get
used to you, and we'll do fine."

Good grief-REAL mashed po-

"If you have complaints, don't
let them ride. Tell us about

them immediately. Don't be
wasteful with your food. If you
want more, go back and get it,
but don't get extra and then
leave it. It burns up all your
money in the garbage can.

"Call Tom (Allison) and
me by our first names. We
don't want to be formal."

Scott, which I think is unfortu-
nate, because it is not a true
interpretation of what was going
on.

There was not an air of "an-
ti-intellectualism," for though
the mass media was not in-
terested in it, there was much
study and legislation in regard
to education and the student's
role and responsibilities in the
academic field.

It was this legislation and
study which most excited Lynne

and me and the majority of stu-
dents there.

In the 18 day period which we
spent at the University of Illi-
nois we had the opportunity to
talk with many students from
all types of other schools and
it was not Viet Nam or the draft
which we talked about but what
the students are doing on cam-
pus.

Greatest Concern

The one topic we found every-
one interested in and anxious to
talk about was their education
their ideas about quality in
education, their reaction to the
educational process at their
school and what action they
were taking on their ideas. This
is where the majority of ex-
citement lay and the greatest
concern Lynne and I brought
back.

On October 13 Lynne and I
will lead a Hub discussion on
the Congress. We hope also
that all reactions to what has
already been said will be
brought to the discussion by
students and faculty.

have a while to get used to Saga
Food Service and its managers
who look like college students.

Part of the success of Saga
as a college food service can
be attributed to the fact that it
was begun by three college stu-
dents. Now almost 20 years
later, Saga has expanded from
the Hobart campus to almost
200 campuses around the na-
tion and one in Lebanon.

Agnes Scott is Saga's first
campus in Georgia, and Mr.

an enjoyable adventure for stu-
dents here. He has three re-
quests for Agnes Scott students.

Retreaters Ask Sharp Questions

At one of the joint sessions of
retreat, specific questions were
discussed by small groups and
the ideas suggested were re-
ported to the entire group. The
following are those Questions,

MOCKINGS

FROM
RAMONA

Dear Mother,

First I want to thank you and
father for moving my stuff into
the dorm while I was attending
the orientation meeting. It
really was great of you to do it.

Cassandra and I are getting
the room fixed up at last. For a
while there it was a close race
to see just which decorating
scheme would win out contem-
porary cardboard box or early
luggage. But now we are ar-
ranging things with their usual
charm. I did persuade Cas-
sandra not to repeat her mural
idea of last year, however.

We're using curtains and bed-
spreads that Cassandra wove
this summer during her stay on
the Shoshoni Indian reservation.
Unfortunately they were some
of her first work. What used to
be drapes is fast becoming cafe
curtains.

Although it really is great to
be back with all the girls, it's
going to be hard to adjust after
the co-ed dorm life of the sum-
mer. I miss dating in my
room and parties every night.
And I ' can no longer stay up
til three every night and sleep
to eleven, not with eight- thir-
ties every day.

But, all in all, I think it will
be a gala year.

The other day I emerged from
the shower and found Betty But-
ler looking rather blue, having
failed to get the dye out of her
clothes. From what she told me
I know retreat must have been
great. I'm looking forward to
working with CA this year.

Would you believe I had eight
requests to be a rush girl?
Would you believe 5? Well, old
Rho Rho Rho did leave a phone
message asking me. I called
them and explained that I'm
just too busy to do anything like
that. Honestly, mother, what
do they want from me? I AM
a sophomore and this silly rush
girl stuff is beneath me. I'm
fed up with it.

I'm excited about this year. I
have a perspective on it and I
really know where I'm going.

I'm still waiting to hear from
David. You know, he's the boy
I met this summer from Prince-
ton. Did I mention him to you?

There's so much I want to
write: I can't wait to tell you
about my orientation group.
But I have to run now.

Love,

Ramona

P.S. Tell Butch I enjoyed his
message.

with some of the answers found
by students.

1. How can we encourage sit-
uations in which to meet boys?
How would you organize Wed-
nesday night casuals? What
other suggestions could you
make?

Informality is the keynote for
Wednesday night casuals. Cas-
ual dress should be appropriate.
It is not essential that the same
number of boys and girls be
present. We should try to de-
velop this into a time when
boys will know they can come
out, have a good time, and meet
girls.

2. How can we encourage
more self-directed learning
based on individual interest?
How could the Independent Study
concept be broadened? How do
you deal with such barriers
as time, homework, etc?

To encourage more interest
in self-directed learning teach-
ers should be more open for
suggestions on subjects and
teach more loosely constructed
courses. They should make it
clear at the beginning of a
course that they are open for
independent work.

Independent

At every level there might be
one quarter where independent
work could be conducted. Soph-
omores might be able to choose
a major more intelligently if
they had the opportunity to work
independently in different
fields. Independent work should
not be limited to the major sub-
ject.

3. How, if at all, can Agnes
Scott encourage students to
think maturely about their fu-
ture? What help can we give
in considering graduate school,
marriage, vocations?

Perhaps a full-time vocations
counselor is needed. Material
on how and when to apply to
graduate schools should be
mimeographed and available.
Mortar Board's marriage
classes should be more ex-
tensive.

4. Should the student be ac-
tively involved in social con-
cerns? What role can the stu-
dent play in a community in
which he does not live, but goes
to school?

The student should be invol-
ved, but more in social than po-
litical ways. CA service pro-
jects are the main channel for
this now, but there is little par-
ticipation. There are a number
of organizations in the area that
need student volunteers for ser-
vice.

Controversial issues in the
community should be avoided,
since students know little about
the history of the community,
but they can sometimes look
more objectively at the issues
than residents. The best ap-
proach to community problems
is to stop fostering them. For
example, students can investi-
gate Scott's contribution to pov-
erty through low pay scales.

Honor Emphasis

5. Would you give some spec-
ific suggestions for Honor Em-
phasis Week. How can we in-
volve a wider cross-section of
the student body in the planning
and carrying out of Honor Em-
phas is Week? How can we ex-
tend the concepts of honor and
integrity beyond one week and
beyond this campus?

One week is not enough. Much
depends on junior sponsors,
emphasis on personal honor on
handbook classes. Discussion
on honor with freshmen should

be delayed until they have re-
covered from orientation to
"hear" what is said. It is
necessary to have a good speak-
er and to publicize him. All
boards should participate. The
theory of honor should be related
to the rules. We should em-
phasize pride in the honor
system and show how things
are at other schools.

6. Do you feel that programs
such as self-defense, first aid,
and blood drives are worth-
while? If so, what are some
further suggestions? How can
we structure them so atten-
dance does not fall off after the
first night?

The blood drive was a good
idea; perhaps two a year are
needed. A self-defense course
would work better with smaller
classes. Self-defense course
and first aid courses might be
worked into the physical edu-
cation program.

Perhaps they could run all
quarters and be scheduled at
the same time. We need to get
away from the idea of schedul-
ing things so everyone can do
everything. If things are going
on at the same time, you do not
feel obligated to try to make
every meeting. Other boards
might try such programs as
ceramics, handwork, knitting,
bridge, contemporary theology
guitar.

Communication

7. What are your specific sug-
gestions for ways in which the
boards can interest students in
what they are doing and com-
municate their programs? How
can students communicate their
likes and dislikes? Do you ex-
pect the programs of boards to
be only what students want or to
challenge the students and to
lead?

Communication can be im-
proved through PROFILE arti-
cles, more effective and up-to-
date use of bulletin boards, open
house discussions like the one
before elections, Hub discus-
sions in small groups on one
particular point. Everyone,
especially freshmen, should be
encouraged, perhaps, physical-
ly, to attend board meetings.

Representatives should seek
contact with those who elected
them, perhaps through class
meetings, and ask frankly
whether they are representing
the class well. Boards should
lead in their programs to the
extent that they are willing to
experiment, be creative, and
not dispair if n<j one likes what
they try sometimes.

8. What are your specific
suggestions for the chapel sit-
uation-programs and policies?
Do you feel the need of an op-
portunity for worship each
week?

The program and speaker in
chapel should be publicized
more and more concretely with
such information as why it is
happening. Individuals can in-
vite others to chapel and ask
around about what people want
for chapel programs. Pro-
grams in the Hub, Lower Dining
Hall, or May Day Dell from
time to time would improve at-
tendance.

More could be done with ves-
pers as a worship service. Per-
haps they could be held on
Sunday. There should be more
services of communion and not
always Presbyterian ones.

9. How can we encourage a
neater appearance on campus?
DRESS, ETIQUETTE, GROUNDS

It is the responsibility of the
individual student to prevent
poor dress standards. The

dress policy should be stress-
ed and a larger group of stu-
dents made aware of the prob-
lem. Perhaps a spring clean-
up at the beginning of spring
quarter would be effective. We
should stress more ladylike
behavior while smoking. A
panel of boys could be brought
out to campus, look around, and
later discuss their reactions,
likes, and dislikes about the
dress of students.

10. Do we allow ourselves to
be completely caught up in less
important details and lose per-
spective of the whole? Which
of our organizational activities
become this way? What other
areas of our experience here
manifest this quality? How can
we find this perspective?

with daily work and forget to
challenge and question what they
are doing. They do not com-
municate with Atlanta, but pre-
fer to be walled in on campus.
They do not read, and know lit-
tle about other campuses, much
less other countries and such
movements as black power,
socialism.

It is the individual, however,
who chooses to get out. Boards
are trying to plan programs to
help. They must keep it up and
not worry if there are not
masses of people at each ac-
tivity; the fact is that they are
reaching some people. The
problem may lie in over-de-
veloped structure. The key is
spontaneity and a sense of hu-
mor, especially towards our-
selves.

Retreat Speech

(Continued from page 2)

Students will not see education as a means of stereotyping
they want to "connect education with their primary concerns
as humans," and to make this connection increasingly more
clear.

Emergence

What is emerging however is not only a clearer understanding
of the educational process, but the idea of a student himself.

Where can we in our own process of emergence approximate
this new student? Emergence in itself can signify the growth
of chaos, of disorder, of the assymetrical or conversely of
pattern and form, of creativity and spontaneity, of forward
movement, of channeled novelty; in which we take very careful
evaluation of where we are, and what we are.

We mark out the good and the bad, and viewing it in perspec-
tive with both the past and the future, we move forward in a pro-
cess of "creative advance."

Perhaps emergence signifies the movement from the theorec-
tical of last spring to the actual of the fall. Perhaps it is a
movement from out of the limited horizons of the previous
years, from our introspective past, to the involvement of the
future.

Perhaps it is crystallizing of this past with our new ideas, in
terms of understanding, awareness, and the subsequent move-
ment forward. Perhaps it is the expansion of our concern from
individual to community and social.

Finally, perhaps it is that we move from the immediacy of
change, to the continuum of planning, that we begin to consider
times as an important element for those that come after us.

Deadline Nears For
Fulbright Competition

The Institute of International
Education reports that the com-
petition for U.S. Government
grants for graduate study or
research abroad in 1967-68, or
for study and professional
training in the creative and
performing arts, under the Ful-
bright-Hays Act will close
shortly.

This year marks the 20th
Anniversary of the signing of
the original legislation which
created this exchange program.

Since 1946, approximately
15,000 grants have been award-
ed to American graduate stu-
dents for study in countries
throughout the world.

HE conducts competitions for
U.S. Government scholarships,
for students below the Ph.D.
level, pro/ided by the Full-
bright-Hays Act as part of the
educational and cultural ex-
change program of the De-
partment of State. This pro-
gram, which is intended to in-
crease mutual understanding
between the people of the Unit-
ed States and other countries,
provides more than 850 grants
for study in 54 countries.

Candidates who wish to apply
for an award must be U.S. citi-
zens at the time of application,
have a bachelor's degree or its
equivalent by the beginning date
of the grant and, in most cases,
be proficient in the language
of the host country. Selections

will be made on the basis of
academic and/or professional
record, the feasibility of the
applicant's proposed study plan
and personal qualifications.

Retreat Speeeh

(Continued from page 7)

What is required first is that each of us think deeply and hon-
estly about a philosophy of education; that we examine seriously
the connotations of our own environment, realizing that any edu-
cational system imposes a complex framework within which he
individual must find himself.

We must understand that the problems facing education today
are the problems of the individual "his attempt to relate him-
self to the world, to search for a self, and to com? to a realiza-
tion of his own individual style of behavior on a continuum that
has as it poles reason and emotion."

Such a process can only be achieved as we accept that the
responsibility lies totally in our hands. The burdens of this
responsibility are all too heavy, and the guidelines all too few,
that perhaps the best we can do, is to implant the seeds of
questioning . ,

Moratorium

Can we regard our education as a moratorium? "an island
community set apart from the continent of life? the student
years an interlude between childhood and citizenship?"

There is certainly value to this view, for we each have the
unique opportunity to develop individually, the freedom to ques-
tion without the demands and pressures we will meet later, the
time for self-evaluation, and the possibility of viewing this world
with more detachment and perspective than in later years.

Yet often times this is to deny the fact that one becomes
through being, that education is integral not accessory.. Alfred
North Whitehead puts it this way:

The mind is never passive, it is perpetual activity, delicate,
responsibe to stimulus. You can not postpone the life of the mind
until you have sharpened it. Whatever interestattaches to your
subject matter must be evoked in the here and the now; what-
ever powers you are strengthening in the student, must be
exercised in the here and the now.

How can we achieve a balance?

Mow do we stimulate student involvement? How do we create
academic activism? How do we encourage a climate of intellec-
tual awareness?

Perhaps the novel experimental nature of other student pro-
jects such as the free universities, pass-fail systems, non-
graded systems, independent work-study programs, and inter-
disciplinary courses are beyond possibility or necessity at Agnes
Scott but the principles are not.

They are based on student initiative, independent study, and
acceptance of responsibility. And in time changes in atmos-
phere often bring about changes in structure.

The dissatisfaction we register now is not so much witli the
existing structure, but with ourselves for not contributing to the
possibility of a meaningful education.

However the evolvement of such an atmosphere is only a
part of the emerging process. The campus is part of the world,
and the concerns of students involve the furtherance of their
beliefs and the application of their knowledge.

Outside World

Most students are indeed vaguely disturbed about the outside
world. But somehow it rarely gets related to the individual
educational experience.

As students we have the responsibility to discover what the
words integrity, dignity, and equality imply; but as students we
must also go further than this, we must learn how to apply these
concepts.

The abolishment of Student Unions in South America, the South
African Apartheid, the denial of the right of assembly at univer-
sities in Barcelona, and the dismissal of 31 professors at St.
John's are challenges to students everywhere.

Until the equality of education both here and abroad is reach-
ed, each student has unfinished business. If we cannot relate to
social concern in hard political facts, we must certainly be able
to relate as student to student.

Not to do so is to deny the very possibility of the academic
freedom we value so highly.

To fail to question, to inquire, to communicate, to search for
truth and to seek to attain it is to fail inone's responsibility to
i oneself for personal growth, and to fail inone's responsibility
to the school which has insured this academic freedom. It is
to make education regressive rather than progressive.

Perhaps we can see vaguely where we are going and why, but
not the how? How much student activism? What kind?

Wilder

Perhaps the only thing we can be sure of is that the future
depends in large measure on studentsl "We live," as Thornton
Wilder says, "in a world in which every good and excellent
thing stands moment by moment on the razor edge of danger
and must be fought for."

To fight means to honor, to listen, to criticize, to build, to
look to the future, and to realize the potential within the actual.
It is the emergence of a continually ongoing process.

Quo vandimus we ask. The answer to this depends wholly
upon the seriousness and determination we dedicate to the tasks
ahead.

What will it mean to be a student? It will mean something
beyond the four years at Agnes Scott, beyond even the goals of
the institution or individual.

It will mean increasingly to be, to become. If the questions
are honest, if the movement is forward, if the concerns are in-
volved, to be a student is never to take no as an answer.

Quarterly"
Wins Award

This summer another Agnes
Scott publication received rec-
ognition for excellence.

The American Alumni Coun-
cil presented an award to the
Agnes Scott Alumnae Quarterly
"for distinguished achievement
in institutional content."

This is recognition for the
quality of the articles about the
college itself, such as the one
last year about the Dana Fine
Arts Building.

The contest was a part of the
Annual Publications Competi-
tion.

A certificate now hangs in the
Alumnae House in recognition
of this award.

Cleanth

Educator Cleanth Brooks,
Gray Professor of Rhetoric,
Yale University, will speak at
the Honors Day Convocation on
October 5.

Honors to be announced at the
convocation include the Honor
Roll, Merit List, Stukes' Schol-
ars, Rich Prize, Houghton Prize
and the Presser Scholarships in
Music.

A list of the students with
Independent Study Projects will
also be read.

At the Honors Day Convoca-
tion, Cleanth Brooks will speak
on "The Poetry of Tension."

Many students know of him
only as the co-author of Under-
st anding Poetry . Yet he is one
of the foremost literary critics
in America.

After receiving a B.A. from
Vanderbilt and an M.A. from
Tulane, Mr. Brooks has pur-
sued a variety of occupations.

He has been a Rhodes Schol-
ar, a university professor, edi-
tor of the Southern Review. Ba-

On October 4 the Continuing
Education Program of Agnes
Scott will begin its fall session.
According to Ann Worthy John-
son, Director of Alumnae Af-
fairs, the Continuing Education
Program is "part of the Alum-
nae Association's constant at-
tempt to provide something of
the intellectual fare w e all
shared when in college."

The program is guided by a
committee from the board of the
Alumnae Association. This
Education Committee, along
with the Faculty Committee on
Alumnae Affairs, selects the
courses to be offered.

It was begun five years ago
as a service to Agnes Scott
alumnae and their husbands who
live in the Atlanta area.

This session three courses
will be offered. Mr. George P.
Hayes, professor of English,
will teach 'The Russian Novel",
which will involve the study of
Dostoevsky's The Possessed
on the "aesthetic, psychologi-
cal, socio-political, and relig-
ious levels."

'The History of Christian
Art" will be taught by Mrs.
Marie Pepe, associate profes-
sor of art. It will be a survey
of Christian architecture,
painting, and sculpture from
the early Christian period to
the present."

It will cover early Christian
Byzantine, Romanesque, Goth-
ic, Renaissance, Baroque, and
Modern styles.

These courses will be offer-
ed on five consecutive Tuesday
nights through November 1 from
7:30 to 9:30. On Monday nights,
October 3 through October 31,
Mr. Calder, professor of

physics and astronomy, will
offer a study of "Astronomy
for Astronaughts".

To be held in Bradley Ob-
servatory, it is especially for
those people "who expect to
remain earthbound but who
would like to enjoy seeing and
learning about the universe."

These courses are offered to
Agnes Scott Alumnae, their hus-
bands, and if there is space, to
the public. The fee is seven
d j.' 1 irs :"or one person and ten
do' " for husband and wife.

Sjpcty^fiye "students" are
expected to participate in this
session.

CA Opens Discussion
Series With "Suicide"

The Christian Association
cabin discussions got underway
Sunday with Mr. Lee Copple,
associate professor of psychol-
ogy leading off the fall discus-
sions on "Quest for Identity/'
His topic was ''Suicide."

The informal discussions
have been arranged by CA,
Y WCA and Discussion Group
chairman Zolly Zollicoffer.
October 9, Mrs. Miriam Druc-
ker , professor of psychology
will lead a group in a discus-
sion of "Homosexuality." Dr.
Drucker, of the Georgia Clinic,
will examine "Alcoholism"
on October 23.

The Sunday afternoon pro-
grams begin at 3:30 in the Cab-
in. The speaker presents his
point of view on the subject and
then there is a break for re-
freshments. Following this, the
group reassembles for a dis-
cussion.

During winter quarter the
programs will follow a differ-
ent procedure. There will be
no discussions; instead students
will be invited to the Cabin to
listen to classical music during
the afternoon. There will be a

place provided during the quar-
ter for students to sign up for
specific compositions or com-
posers they want to hear.

In his talk Sunday, Mr. Copple
stressed the kind of people who
commit suicide and their mot-
ives for doing so. He said that
the highest suicide rates are
among college students and the
military because they are in the
main stream of facing conflicts
and questions of uselessness.

According to Copple, suicidal
motives are found often in the
notes which the person leaves.
These usually show one of three
reasons the person found
more to hate in the world than
to love; he comforts the survi-
vors and says his suicide is not
becauseof them; or he does it
as a punishment to get back at
others.

Mr. Copple closed his talk
with a discussion of a Chris-
tian's being his brother's help-
er, esp. with a potential suicide.
The service that these people
need is someone who will stay
up with them, get away with
them, and let them talk them-
selves out of the act.

the approach of American stu-
dents to poetry.

Mr. Brooks believes that a
poem is a unified experience
which the poet creates by care-
ful and delicate use of the tools
available to him.

Once the poet has constructed
the poem, Mr. Brooks feels that
the poem cannot be broken into
pieces called "style" and
"meaning" to be evaluated
separately, then thrown back
together.

He thinks that the various
elements used to create the
poem are related to, or inter-
woven with, each other to form
a unity.

This concept is a complete
reversal of the old critical idea
of tearing a poem down and re-
building it. The New Criti-
cism gives, as Miss Margaret
Trotter says, "a fresh, new,
and vigorous approach to poe-
try as an artistic whole."

Wilkins Talks
On Honor
At Breneau

Student body president Lynne
Wilkins will speak at Breneau
College in Gainesville, Georgia,
in connection with their Honor
Emphasis Week.

Student government leaders
from Georgia schools have been
asked to talk about honor and
specifically about the honor
systems at their schools.

Lynne, who will be speaking
Monday, has been asked to talk
about honor and an honor sys-
tem, and specifically about the
system's relationship to student
government and to the student.

Breneau wants to know how
the Scott honor system works,
and if it works.

Lynne plans to speak frankly
and say that it "works to a
certain degree." "I think it
works because of the type stu-
dents we attract," she says.
'They have a sense of integrity.
But sometimes that breaks down
and then peer pressure has a
strong part in maintaining the
honor system."

Emory and Tech are among
the other schools to be repre-
sented.

SEPTEMBER 29, 1966

Invasion

If a man's home is his castle, surely one can expect a certain
degree of privacy in one's dormitory room.

This, however, does not seem to be the case, not on this cam-
pus, at least.

Early this week a student placed in her room a small statue
that had formerly decorated the dorm lobby, but had resided for
several years unnoticed, in the closet of the senior resident.
Within a day, the statue was removed from her "private" room
and replaced in the lobby.

The point is not that she wanted the statue in her room if any-
one else wants it in the lobby, even ' on the radiator behind a
post," as she puts it. The complaint, a legitimate one, is that
a student has no privacy even in her own room.

There are other instances of such invasions. A lamp re-
sembling one in the dorm lobby was spotted and removed, and
broken in the process. A few years ago, a maid was instructed
specifically to go into a student's room when she was not there
to look for something, in this case cardboard name tags.

We are not talking about dorm searches; that is another thing
entirely. But at no time has the student body voted to the staff
the right to wander around in the dorm rooms.

We do not mean to encourage, or indeed support, anything
illegal in dorm rooms. We would like the assurance that a small
amount of privacy remains there.

Service?

It v/ould seem that three months is ample time to get the cam-
pus ready for a new school year. However, students returning
this fall found many campus services which did not operate prop-
erly- some which simply did not operate at all.

Perhaps the most serious complaint was the telephone situa-
tion. At first, many of the telephones would not work, meaning
some students had to go off campus to make necessary phone
calls.

Less serious, unless one was thirsty, were the broken Coke
machines, which took money but gave nothing in return. In ad-
dition, the elevators in some dorms were not working properly.
This was quite inconvenient to students moving in the dorm,
or carrying in stacks of new books.

Added to these grievances were the televisions-or rather the
lack of televisions. During the one time in the year when there
is plenty of free time to watch television most of the dorms were
minus their usual television sets until several days after classes
started.

It is understandable that in getting the whole campus back to
running smoothly something can go wrong. But this year seemed
to produce a multitude of unnecessary inconveniences.

Evaluation

To the Editor:

And to the Student Body: The
Lecture Committee is bringing
to the campus this year a ser-
ies of distinguished and provo-
cative speakers. We do this,
as you know, in order to aug-
ment and enrich the education
that is available to you at Agnes
Scott.

Beginning with Cleanth Brooks
on October 5-6 and continuing
through Rollo May on April 26,
the program gives you an oppor-
tunity to listen and to ask ques-
tions.

Especially would we ask this
year that you confront our
guests with inquiring minds, and
that you find opportunity to take
what they have to give. This
means that you come to lec-
tures not so much with ball-
point pens to take notes as with
sharpened minds to evaluate and
assimilate information. It
means that you isolate for your-
self and that you ask aloud
questions that are pertinent and
that will help you in your un-
derstanding of whatever field
may be under consideration.

Student leaders at retreat
asked for more opportunity to
be creative. The lecture pro-
gram offers one way: by giving
you the chance to "pick the
brains" of some eminent in-
dividuals, through your use of
discerning questions.

A. A. Shows
Frustration

Dear Editor,

Once upon a time there lived
in a great land a frustrated
individual. This individual was
not frustrated all the time, only
during every waking moment.
She felt the heavy hand of re-
sponsiblity upon her shoulder
and heard the weak voice of
initiative whispering in her ear:

Work for A. A.:
Do it today;
Tomorrow you play.
But the individual continued

MOCKINGS FROM RAMONA

Dear Mom,

Well, I ended up at a rush
party after all. I got mixed up
with this group of kids in the
D.O. I thought they were going
to a movie in Decatur. Actual-
ly, I had a pretty good time. I
played a lot of bridge.

But then just before the last
dance, I emerged from the girls'
room and ran into this creature
who asked me to dance. It was
too dark to see him very well
and the music was too loud for
me to hear him very well, but
it was a very nice dance. I
think he said he'd call.

At least he's taller than Al
Pope. I ran into old Al, by the
way. I think my belt buckle
cracked his glasses.

I guess I did mention David
to you when I was home. But 1
really don't think his name was
in every sentence. I finally
heard from him. He returned
something I had left in his room.
I've been wondering where the
pink dressy one was.

You may be having a little
trouble reading this letter.
That's because I'm writing in
my room where the first com-
mand of creation has as yet had
little effect, i may start writ-

ing and studying in the pool
room. It's the best lighted
place on campus.

Let me tell you about my
freshmen. It's really a motley
crew. The first is from the
middle of some African jungle.
His father is some sort of trad-
er and from what I can gather,
they must live rather like Tar-
zan. What a swinger.

I've been trying to help the
next one, Frieda Fraidiecat.
She's very nice and seems
smart, but she is a bit timid.
So far, I've had to walk her to
every class.

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

Letters to the editor aa-
welcome. These should be
typed,double spaced, SIGNED,

They should not exceed two

The PROFILE will 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.

The next one is a little puzzl-
ing. I took her on a tour of the
campus and soon she was point-
ing out to me the finer points
of Dana's architecture, the his-
tory of Rebekah, and other in-
teresting facts about Scott.
Somehow, when I'm around her,
I feel like Freida.

The last one I really crave,
though. She's from Pooler,
Georgia. She's not much of a
scholar, but she's a real neat
kid. I don't know what it is
about her that I like. She never
seems quite to know what's go-
ing on. As a matter of fact,
she spilled punch on her English
professor at the faculty recep-
tion. Can you believe it? She
dates the Rho Rho Rho's too.

I have a bit part in Black Cat.
So far my bit has been carry-
ing scenery and typing the
script. But it's great fun.

Love,
Ramona

her play. However, she become
more and more frustrated until
the inevitable occurred her
shoulder got pressed to the
wheel by responsibility's heavy
hand and her inner ear begin
to itch from listening to ini-
tiative's constant whisper. Play
stopped. She began to work.
She worked and she worked for
many days, She planned, she
shopped, she sketched, she
painted, she cut, she composed,
she packed, she shipped. And
suddenly her shoulder was not
pressed to the wheel and her
inner ear did not itch; she still
had occasional twangs of bursi-
tis and inner ear twitches, but
life was much pleasanter.

One day the sky turned from
blue to gray to black, and the
pleasant individual became
frustrated again. Her days of
toil had been in vain some

mysterious ogre in one deep
breath had enhaled her efforts.
Oh, alas I Poor frustrated indi-
vidual.

Yet in the black sky there was
a light --a light that symbo-
lized hope that her work would
be returned. What hoi Could it
be that there exists in the same
land another frustrated indivi-
dual, a mysterious ogre, who
feels the heavy hand of respon-
sibility on his shoulder and
hears the weak voice of ini-
tiative whispering in his inner
ear:

Return her work to A. A.
Do it today
Or you shall pay I
And here our story ends with
two frustrated individuals.
Won't someone give this true
tale a truly happy ending?

ANOTHER LETTER, PAGE 3

Early Good At Flat
Rock Playhouse

Remember those English
themes entitled "How I Spent
My Summer," and how you
really had to dig to remember
anything of interest?

Sophomore Sandra Early has
no problem recalling her ex-
perience this summer. For 12
weeks, Sandra studied at the
Flat Rock Playhouse in He nder-
sonville, North Carolina. She
received the Winter-Green
scholarship of $100 last spring
to study as an apprentice.

In past years, all recipients
from Scott had chosen to go to
the Barter Playhouse in Vir-
ginia. Sandra, however, chose
Flat Rock for its reputation of
offering the best opportunities
and treatment of apprentices.

According to Sandra, the ap-
prentice begins at the bottom of
the theatrical scale. She at-
tended class for an hour in the
morning, but spent most of her
time learning by doing doing
everything from policing the
grounds and scrubbing down
sets to running costume chan-
ges during shows.

Sandra feels that some of the
most valuable classes were
those in scene study and stage
movements. Each apprentice
chose a scene from some play
and presented it to the class
for criticism.

The students could be as
elaborate as they chose in cre-
ating their own set, costumes,
and lighting. In stage move-
ment, the apprentices learned
to perform realistic violence,
from slaps to knock-out punch-
es.

Besides the classes, students
participated in performances on
the main stages and presented
the plays for the children's
theatre. Since a new play was
offered each week in the main
playhouse and two a month in
the children's theatre, the ap-
prentice's were kept busy with

rehearsing, painting sets, and
doing odd chores.

Under the guidance of their
student director, the twenty ap-
prentices somehow managed to
find time to transform the flat
rock, from which the theatre
takes its name, into an amphi-
theatre. They worked the en-
tire summer on one perform-
ance of "A MidsummerNight's
Dream."

Sandra emphasized that the
time put on the apprentices'
project could be spared only af-
ter all work had been done on the
main production first and the
children's plays second.

About midway through each
season, the company presents
one costume show in other than
modern dress. This summer
the production was "Strange
Bedfellows" set in 1896. On
Thursday before the Tuesday
opening, the company's costume
mistress suffered a nervous
breakdown, after finishing only
seven usable costumes.

Sandra had been doing work in
that department, so the director
assigned her to complete the
unfinished costuming. The task
was 'no simple matter of 18
actors requiring period dress,
eight had at least six changes
each.

Sandra minimizes her re-
sponsibility by calling herself
' head scrounger" and ' glor-
ified seamstress." But her
skill as designer and tailor for
this production impressed the
directors, who put her in tip-
staff as full-time costume mis-
tress. Sandra is the first first-
year apprentice to make staff
in the middle of the season.
She was also asked to return
next year as head costume r.

Sandra's memories of her
summer are immediate and
warm, and she says, she is
looking forward to going home
to Flat Rock next summer..

Editor's note: This is a Col-
legiate Press Service account
of a conference on education
attended by Virginia Russell.
For her view see next week's
PROFILE.

ST. LOUIS (CPS)-- After two
years of planning, the United
Campus Christian Fellowship,
sponsored a conference on high-
er education, August 29 - Sep-
tember 2 in St. Louis, Mo., to
discuss problems confronting
students and came up against
one major obstacle the 300
students there did not know what
was bothering them.

Leaders in business, univer-
sity administration, and student
affairs at the consultation on
"Education: Social Adjustment
or Human Liberation" attemp-
ted to challenge students to
question traditional classroom
methods and the general pur-
pose of higher education.

The goal of education, con-
ferees decided, was "human
liberation," but neither speak-
ers nor participants could de-
fine the term. Instead, speak-
ers, lecturing from a platform,
proceeded to offer methods
whereby students participated
more fully in their education.

Two conference speakers,
Roland Liebert, representing
the National Student Associa-
tion, and Philip Werdell, editor
of Moderator magazine, advo-
cated student-oriented courses
in which the class including the
professor, determine course
structure and material.

Werdell explained that in stu-
dent-centered classes each
person feels a responsibility to
make the class meaningful and
relevant, since no one person
is leading it. In the end, each
student is committed to learn-
ing, and his definition of what
he learns is as important as the
professor's.

Delegates nodded aggreement
as they sat quietly and listened.

Paul Booth, SDS National Sec-
retary, succeeded in provoking
those attending. He attacked
grades and exams as mere
"conveniences" for graduate
schools, corporations, and the
draft.

'They're one of the first
tastes of authority and regimen-
tation students get from the
university," he said.

Booth claimed that university
management prevents revolt by
creating honors programs
which siphon off brighter stu-
dents from the less contentious
majority to avoid conflict and
prevent revolt. He added that
all students should confront
professors and, as other speak-
ers suggested, plan their en-
vironment together.

A professor had advocated
earlier, "If you do like the sys-
tem, you better do something
about it." Booth elaborated:

Bring Shoe Troubles To

Clairmont Shoe Repair,
Inc.
DR. 3-3676

141 Clairmont Aye.

Cannot
Trouble

When professors do not present
understandable or knowledge-
able lectures, students should
stand up and say "you're ir-
relevant or "leaflet" the
classroom. Booth encouraged
students to withdraw from es-
tablished institutions and create
free universities.

In smaller non-directed dis-
cussion groups, students and
administrators confronted each
other, but the students avoided
broad issues to exchange anec-
dotes about their own campuses.

One UCCF Executive Com-
mittee member estimated that
most delegates had little aware-
ness of their campus environ-
ments, and that many had never
thought seriously about educa-
tion before coming to the Con-
sultation.

Puzzled delegates could only
echo the lament of one student,
"My problem is that I don't
really know what I want out of
edu cation."

Todd Urges
Attendance

TO THE EDITOR,

The Agnes Scott tradition of
Saturday chapel is gone this
year. Only a few people regret
that the administration decided
to let it go. Saturday chapel was
a worthwhile practice until lack
of attendance made it imprac-
tical.

Vespers and the oth^r Volun-
tary chapels are in danger of
disavpearing also; but we should
not let these slip by too be-
cause of lack of participation.
These occasions are oppor-
tunities to know professors out-
side of class, and more impor-
tant, they are opportunities to
broaden our interests, thoughts,
and knowledge.

If everyone would attend
chapel or vespers only once
during the week, then there
would be no problem of lack of
attendance. Traditions that are
worthless are not worth our time;
but those that have something
to offer deserve and need our
support or they, like Saturday
chapels, will be lost to us.

French Professor Volkoff
Writes Science Fiction

New faculty members for this
year can be found in many of
the college's departments. At
the mention of the name Valdi-
mir Volkoff, some students may
wonder if a new department in
foreign language has been add-
ed as well. Actually Mr. Vol-
koff teaches French at Scott and
not Russian.

His grandparents were mem-
bers of the White Russian coun-
ter-revolutionaries who unsuc-
cessfully resisted the Bolshe-
viks. Mr. Volkoff himself was
born in Paris in 1932 in a sec-
tion inhabited mainly by Rus-
sian immigrants. Russian was
the first language Mr. Volkoff
learned as a child. But spend-
ing the war years of the early
forties in Normandy made him
fluent in French.

After World War II, Mr. Vol-
koff continued his education in
France. He graduated from the
University of Paris. During the
Algerian War, he served as an
officer in the French army.

When he returned from Al-
geria, Mr, Volkoff began, what
he calls, his real career-writ-
ing. He has already had six
novels published in France. His
principal interest is in science
fiction. In 1963, Mr. Volkoff
won the Jules Verne Prize for
science fiction- the highest
award for this form of litera-
ture.

Mr. Volkoff has also done
much work in the field of child-
rens' literature. He has writ-
ten several thrillers for young
people and has translated a

NEWCOMER
KOFF, soaks
the Wind."

IN FRENCH DEPARTMENT, VLADIMIR VOL-
up Atlanta atmosphere by reading "Gone With

number of works from Russian
and English into French for
children. Among these trans-
lations are T^e Pickwick Pap-
ers and Mary Ppppins . Inci-
dentally, Mr. Volkoff himself
enjoys the half- fantasy and half-
reality of Mary Poppins but
adds that the French do not care
for such duality. At present,
Mr. Volkoff is translating The
Three Investigators by Alfred
Hitchcock.

Mr. Volkoff was introduced

to Agnes Scott last year during
a trip to Canada and the U.S.
while visiting his aunt here in
Atlanta, he met a former mem-

ber of ASC s music department,
Miss Roxie Hagopian. Since
Mr. Volkoff wanted to teach in
Ameri6a, Miss Hagopian's rec-
ommendation of Scott interested
him. For- Mr. Volkoff, Scott
students are a pleasant change
from his former pupils in all
all-boys high school in France.
He finds that girls are more re-
ceptive to learning and more
willing to work than boys.

The friendliness of Scott has
charmed Mr. Volkoff. And ap-
parently the hospitality has af-
fected him from beyond the
campus since he confesses that
he is now reading Gone With
The Windl

Year Abroad Valuable,
But Nothing Sacred

Since my return from a school
year in Paris, many students
have asked me whether or not
the experience was a valuable
one. In any connotative sense of
the world valuable, it was and
HOW I It is true that any benefit
gleaned from such an exper-
ience is entirely in responsibil-
ity of the student who under-
takes it.

However, it rarely occurs
that anyone returns entirely un-
touched after having lived sev-
eral months in a foreign cul-
ture, particularly one as notably
foreign as that of France.

Americans still suffering the
effects of isolationism areper-
haps the greatest bete noire of
the American intellectual cult.
Kennedy's Peace Corps has
been one attempted and suc-
cessful remedy. In a recent
Saturday Review article on the
International Writers' Con-
gress, Norman Cousins sug-
gests that the role of the mod-
ern writer should be primarily
to indicate the necessity and
the means to a literally defined
"World Citizenship".

The implications of the pro-
posal are clear: Americans
must need all other peoples,
explore new techniques for
learning foreign languages, ac-
quire a greater tolerance for
foreign cultures and their val-
ues and develop flexibility in
their adjustment to these cul-
tures. For an American co-
ed, learning to nod pleasantly
at the frequent querry "Bon-
jour Mademoiselle, cava?" re-
quires a redefinition of proper
behavorial patterns. Hardly a
male passes her on the street
without this or a similar com-
ment.

A junior year spent in Paris,
then, is profitable in promoting
a sense of internationalism in
the student, yet this, the inter-
national crossroads of the world
offers opportunities that are un-
mistakeably French. The cui-
sine is delectible in a restau-
rant, but disappointing at home.

The theater season is un-
doubtedly the best in the world,
presenting a large variety of
productions, from the Miracle
Plays at Notre Dame to the
revolutionary work of theavant-
garde dramatists. The premier
of Jean Genet's work The
Screens excited a grave pole-
mic which proved to be an en-
lightening commentary on the
French character and what
some call "reactionary re-
sponse". Many critics claimed
it to be the culmination of the
avant garde movement in
French theater, while others
exhorted their bourgeois public
to avoid the perverted creation
at all costs.

The museums in Paris are
still more numerous than in
other cities, and though the gal-
leries are flourishing, there is
a noticeable lack of modem
French art among the displays
where that of American and
Middle European artists domi-
nate.

The American student arriv-
ing in Paris rarely finds the
Sorbonne difficult academical-
ly, but he is often surprised at
the extra curricular demands
French university life makes
upon him. With the absence of
such Anglo-Saxon institutions
as in loco parentis comes the
responsibility of complete per-
sonal maintenance. For the
student, his life becomes a job
for which certain attitudes and
skills must be acquired.

He is confronted with prob-
lems few New York or Chicago
undergraduates experience.

By Deirdre LaPin
Books are expensive and often
out of print; libraries are
crowded and contain insufficient
material; housing is extremely
scarce and equally dear; clothes
and food take a large bite out
* the small student budget.

There are advantages how-
ever. The only required acad-
emic appointment is the exam
period in June. The student
studies at his own rate, genera-
ally at quite a clip in May.
Although he obediently memo-
rizes his notes, the exam usual-
ly demands evidence of exten-
sive personal thought. Trained
to think clearly and quickly, the
French student makes a stiff
competitor for any Yalie.

There is nothing sacred about
a junior year abroad. It is
merely a convenience for those
students who are reluctant to
venture to Paris or to Europe
alone without being assured of
credit from his university or
college at home. Nor is it
generally accepted that the jun-
ior year is the most suitable

time for a leave of absence.
Smith College is considering
changing its program to the
sophomore year. Hollins sends
its studen:s for a semester of
the sophomore and junior years.

Despite the advantages of a
"program" there are draw-
backs, too. Most suffer from
cumbersome organization; they
are often expensive; and some-
times the directors are ill-

Many serious (and some who

In Morocco

Lysbeth Bainbridge Godbey,
class of 1965, has been named a
Peace Corps Volunteer after
completing 12 weeks of training
t at the University ofTexas Med-
ical Branch in Galveston,
Texas.

Math major Betsy is one of
40 volunteers trained this sum-

Peace Corps' work in Moroccan
public health. The group,
scheduled to leave for their as-
signments September 25, will
work in hospitals and sanitor-
iums throughout the country.

With this group's arrival,
about 120 volunteers will be at
work in Morocco. Other Peace
Corps' projects there include
teaching English in secondary
schools and teaching domestic
skills in village women's cen-
ters.

During their training at the
University of Texas, the new
volunteers studied French and
Moroccan Arabic, Moroccan
history and culture, U.S. his-
tory and world affairs. Techni-
cal training emphasized labor-
atory test procedures and prac-
tice in laboratory work as done
in Morocco.

"A Generous Man" Causes
Thought-Provoking Uproar

At Agnes Scott our most heat-
ed arguments have long center-
ed around college rules and
campus politics. This fall,
however, a stimulating intellec-
tual controversy has arisen
over the choice of Reynolds
Price's book, A Gener ous Man,
for the freshman orientation
program.

The announcement of the
choice last spring caused no
uproar, and the campaign urg-
ing students to read it over the
summer was low-pitched. Many
upper-classmen now protest
that they never heard about it.

Characteristically, their irate
lament is, "Why didn't they
tell us it was dirty?"

Circulating with the rumor
that 'That book is dirtyl"
are tales of baffled parents
storming Buttrick to protest
the choice. Though these ru-
mors have been exaggerated,
some parental protest was voic-
ed, and during discussions of
the book on the "image of the
college."

This concern with the col-
lege image is a familiar one
and has been a focal point in the
past for arguments about the
apartment policy and student
participation in activities of
questionable legality, such as
sit-in's.

A group of freshmen on first
Walters were asked whether the
book affected adversely their
idea of Agnes Scott. Most an-

by Anne Felker

swered no; and one girl volun-
teered that she had been afraid
Scott would be "guarded in its
choice of literature" and was
pleased to find the orientation
novel "frank and open".

A typical response from one
of the group was that she had

hated it when she read it but
had since found more in it.

All agreed that the reading
and the panel discussion were
extremely interesting and en-
lightening. One girl, who still
does not like the book, com-
mented that, "It's a good book
to discuss but not much for
reading."

Upper-classmen have been
generally more enthusiastic.
Many said they thoroughly en-
joyed the book, and discussions
have centered around Price's
characterizations and credi-
bility of the presentation of a
ghost which appears in the lat-
ter part of the book.

A senior who liked the novel
was undaunted by her mother's
humorous response that she
"just didn't like the family at
all."

With these responses in mind
we decided to ask the Book Se-
lection Committee why the book
was chosen.

In selecting a book the Com-
mittee was concerned with two
things: to choose a novel that
would be of interest to the stu-
dents and provoke discussion;
and to choose a novel which is

defensible as a work of art.

Since Miss Eudora Welty had
spoken highly of the work of
Reynolds Price during her vis-
it here last spring, the Com-
mittee considered A Generous
Man and an earlier novel of
his, A Long and Happy Lif e,
along with a number of novels
by other authors. A Generous
Man seemed to satisfy best the
purposes of the Committee.

According to Mrs. Margaret
Pepperdene, professor of Eng-
lish and one of the members
of the Committee, "Reynolds
Price treats the complex ex-
perience of 'growing up' in a
sensitive and honest manner.
It is indicative of the high re-
gard for the intelligence and
academic freedom of our stu-
dents that no hesitation was
voiced in the Committee to of-
fering this book for orientation
discussions."

Contrary to trends in the
past, lively discussions of A
Generous Man are continuing.
The book has aroused strong
feelings - both positive and neg-
ative - and has succeeded in in-
volving many members of the
campus community n a phase
of orientation which has been
largely ignored by upper-class-
men in the past.

It has thus come closer to
being a "campus book" rather
than a "freshman book" and
has been a thought-provoking
topic of conversation.

founded the Portuguese section
of the South Atlantic Modern
Language Society and the Portu-
guese section of the Modern
Language Association.

This summer Miss Cilley
returned to the Colegio Inter-
nacional, Barcelona, Spain,
where she had taught for a num-
ber of years before she came
to Agnes Scott. During her

nine-week stay she delivered a
series of ten lectures then went
to Madrid, Tauste, Zaragoza,
and Toulouse, where she at-
tended reunions with alumnae
of the Spanish women's college.

Miss Cilley brought back
from Spain five oil paintings by
modern Spanish artists, two
small stones from the Roman
ruins at Barcelona (these stones
have been added to the display
on second Buttrick), and the
thrill of being taken for a native
of Barcelona rather than an
American tourista.

OCTOBER 6, 1966

The Price Of Price

As everyone should, by now, be aware, this year's choice of
A Generous Man as the orientation book has caused quite a stir.
Freshmen and parents alike were enraged by the presence of
"too much of the sex bit." President Wallace Alston declined
to discuss Reynolds Price's work in his meetings with the
orientation groups. On the other side, upperclassmen and many
faculty members have leaped to the book's defense.

The upshot of all this, in our view, has been double value from
the book. Reading it is worthwhile in itself. There is no "sex
bit" in A Generous Man; it is not decorated with the physical
to sell copies or to shock or anything like that. Price's choice
of sex as the metaphor for growing up is perfect, and it is, for
the most, well done. Of course. A Generous M art's not perfect.
But there are few perfect books about today, in paperback or
hardbound additions.

Furthermore, the controversy raised has been provocative.
Never did anyone wish to draw arms over Science and Human
Values or The Democratic Prospect . Those who read them
and the number tackling the latter was small indeed, were for
the most part lost.

Many people read A Generous Ma n Moreare reading; it now.lt
is a learning for all. It has become a campus book and at last
we have campus-wide intellectual agitation, not merely social
dissatification.

As was right, the book selection committee never considered
the irrelevant questions of "image'* or creation of controversy.
The only goal was to choose a good, contemporary book by a
potentially distinguished author that would introduce freshmen
to the intellectual life of the college. A Generous Man has done
that, perhaps more than any other; the controversy surrounding
it has enhanced that intellectual life.

We do not recommend that the committee deliberately choose
a controversial book, but a good book should not be shunned on
that ground. The committee has done its work well in the past.
We hope its members can continue, in their freedom with, their
good judgment, to select books that will introduce freshmen to
the intellectual life at Scott and will interest upperclassmen as
well as A Generous Man.

Boxed In

Students checking reserve books out of the library have only
a limited time in which to return them. For instance, reserve
books checked out of the library during the week must be re-
turned by 8:30 a.m., and those checked out on Saturday must be
returned by 2:00 p.m. Sunday.

Since the library is locked and does not open until a half-
hour before these times, students have little leeway in return-
ing the books. This can be quite inconvenient, especially on
Sundays.

For instance, if a student has checked a book out on a Sat-
urday afternoon, she must either be here at two o'clock Sun-
day or make arrangements for somebody else to return the book.

A solution to the problem could be a covered box in front of
the library. In this way, students who were off campus or busy
when the library opened would be able to return their books be-
forehand.

If the box were covered, there would be no danger from rain.
When the library opened the box could be taken inside and stu-
dents would return books as usual.

This plan is only a suggestion. Perhaps there is some better
solution to the problem. But the point is, there should be some
way for students to return reserve books before the library
opens.

I

I want to talk about what I did this summer,
for a number of reasons. Among the more
valid is the uniqueness and value of the ex-
perience, value so great for me that I would
have others know it, however vicariously.

I participated in a seminar loftily named
Issues in Higher Education. Sponsored by the
U.S. Student Press Association and financed
by Carnegie, the seminar was composed of
16 college newspaper people and two USSPA
"directors," differing from the rest of us
mainly in that they had titles and salaries.

Participants represented the universities
of California at Berkeley, Colorado, Denver,
Hawaii, Michigan, Minnesota, Pennsylvania,
as well as Mount Holyoke, NUY, Rice, Rut-
gers, Valparaiso, and Wellesley. This mot-
ley crew assembled at St. John's College in
Annapolis in early July for a five-and-a-half
week session about which we knew little
save that it would be "unstructured."

One Dorm

Housed together in one dorm, freed from
any social or academic regulations, and
relatively apart from the early-rising, hard-
working, Philipines - bound Peace Corps
trainees, we began learning fast that multitude
of sins and virtues covered by '"unstructur-
ed."

T-Groups

The first few days were spent exhausting-
ly in T-group sessions, "T" being offic-
ially for training and unofficially for every-
thing from terrific to terrible. The T-group
experience was for everyone new and for
most people meaningful.

Separated into two groups, we sat silent
for a time with faces as blank as the table
and classroom walls. Without directions,
authority, or even a gunshot to start things
off, we floundered. We talked of Viet Nam
or Adam Clayton Powell, airing impassioned
opinions until, invariably, at the height of the
controversy, the "trainer" (i.e. the only
one with an inkling what was going on) would
calmly and maddeningly interrupt with the
question, "Is this what you really want to
talk about? Is everyone happy with what's
happening?" Naturally silence would take
over.

But none of us could long remain silent and
as we were together in our T-group more,
we came to see that there need be no substan-
tive, outside "issue." There is enough to
talk about when 10 wonderfully rich and human
people are placed in such an undirected sit-
uation. Gradually we lost the need of dis-
cussing our siblings, flights to Washington,
or opinions of Johnson; we could talk at
length and with great reward of our actions
and reactions, as a group and as individuals,
in that situation, at that hour.

Wrote Michigan's Ken Winter one of the
directors, of what he felt in the T-group:
"I find there is not a void inside me, nor
one inside you; those dark and tangled
events in there begin to make sense. This
is worth doing, and you (whom, in other
milieux, I would have been content to place
in some abstract category and thence ignore)
are worth doing it with. There is something
going on here and now: mel why, until
now, did I always attend only to the public,
the abstract, the distant?"

Frank

ness

Thus the tone was set for the frankness
and intimacy that marked the rest of the
seminar for what quickly became "the
group." If bored at a discussion, we were
free to, and did, say so or simply to walk
out. We read or wrote only if and only what
we pleased. Our one regular meeting was at
11 a.m. and could consist of a five-minute
announcement of that evening's excursion to
"Ginny Woolf" or an hour- and- a-half discus-
sion on the merits of required courses.
Soon, after-dinner, riverside seminars be-
came somewhat regular, too, and were gen-
erally much smaller and therefore much
better for substantative discussion.

Botticelli

By no means did we spend all our time
grandly declaiming on Issues of Higher Edu-
cation. Quite the contrary. A lot of tennis
was played. We made puns incessantly and in-
dulged in Botticelli for hour upon brain-
racking hour. Gin rummy fever struck in
early August and soon ravished four decks
of cards. My bridge game improved enor-
mously. But always for me, and for a mem-
ber of the others, the important thing was the
people, and how I was reacting to them and
they to me.

Perhaps it was the T-groups, perhaps it
was our constant "togetherness" from the
morning meeting til the last song at the night-
ly wee-hour party, perhaps it was just the
chance result of collecting those particular,
rather wonderful, people together. But some-
thing gave us a happy closeness. Not every-
one at Annapolis reacted as favorably as I to
that experience, but I do not think that any-
one would deny it was provocative and un-
forgettable.

Having spoken of the summer's personal
value, I would like to discuss, when time
and space permit, the points brought up by
our resource people, ideas about education
produced by the members of the group, and
the educational outcome of the experimental,
"unstructured" situation itself.

Convocation

Offends

Norwood

TO THE EDITOR:

I think that I am not alone in
stating that I was much annoyed
and indeed sincerely offended
by the convocation speech made
by President Alston on Wednes-
day last.

I must admit that after sev-
eral years of chapel attendance
I have inevitably come to expect
to leave occasionally with a
feeling of slight annoyance or
perhaps mild mid-morning
boredom, but never with the
sense of incredulity I felt at
this particular time. I appre-
ciate and respect the fact that
our president was seeking to de-
fine and explain the position of
Student government on our cam-
pus, and would thank him for
doing so.

I also admit frankly that I did
not then, and do not now, expect
any profound and earth-shatter-
ing liberties to be suddenly
granted us by the trustees, by
the administration, or indeed
by the faculty. But neither did
I expect, nor do I appreciate,
the cool dismissal given those
of us who would conscientiously
seek some sort of change in the
existing system.

Our president has not merely
called for, but indeed has de-
manded of us "whole-hearted
loyalty" to out governmental
system as it presently exists.

He has informed us that our
compulsory signing of the hon-
or pledge as freshmen has bound
us to the existing system and

that, indeed, as long as we
choose to stay at ASC we also
choose to ratify, implying that
if we are opposed we are quite
free to leave.

I personally cannot denounce
our president if he so chooses
to view our obligations; yet I
cannot refrain from saying that
all but Mother Goose must ad-
mit nothing lives happily ever
after that the essence and vi-
tality of a community is nec-
essarily derived from the in-
evitable changes that must come
of growing needs.

I do not mean to imply that
our president does not wish us to
change and grow, for I am sure
that no one desire it more ar-
duously than he I only think
that he is sincerelv unaware of
inc liK-x^aocu rate at which our
needs are growing and some
changes demanded.

Yours respectfully,

The recent, rather quiet de-r
mise of Saturday chapel is, I
think, a more complex occur-
rence than the almost unilateral
assent to it indicates. Whether
Saturday chapel was wisely or
unwisely discontinued Is not
the only consideration that de-
serves to be made: it is im-

the right things were done for
the wrong reason. That this
may, in fact, have been the

Informal Learning

The introduction to Cleanth Brooks session in the Hub fast
Sunday^asrffewajrding in both its form and its content. It was
billed as an opportunity to hear a tape featuring Brooks, Robert
Frost, John Crowe Ransom, and Robert Penn Warren in a dis-
cussion of poetry. The tape, however, failed to appear; some-
one had removed it from the library illegally. (On that, it is
quite edifying to discover even one person on campus that is
interested in the structure of poetry. We hope, however, that
in future poetry tape buffs will employ the proper channels).

What actually happened in the Hub was doubtless better
than what would have come from simple, half-hearted listen-
ing. In a small close college strangely poverty stricken in
seminar opportunities and overburdened with lecture classes,
h ^j| Ver g00c1, P acked with numbed transcribing students, the
sight of those two dozen students interested in poetry and Brook's
criticism of it to come of their accord and on their own time
to hear and talk about it was extremely gratifying.

telligent questions of him, Deirdre LaPin had done a great deal
of preparation herself. But the discussion was rather free and
non-directed, with , comments and questions from all sides.

Whether you view the discussion as good basis for Brooks'
approach to poetry, a major step in determining one's own
approach to art in a science-dominated age, or simply as a
enjoyable group reading of Donne - all of which it was - this
sort of intellectual community is a Good Thing.

We hope that Lecture Committee will continue this program
and that other groups will have similar informal seminars.
For this is indeed what education is all about.

Apologies

Last week's PROFILE chastised the powers that be for the
college's seeming lack of preparation for students. We would
like to apologize for some of those criticisms.

No one can be blamed for the breaking of the telephone
cable. Of course no one bothered to explain, as is often the case
around here.

The entire campus maintenance program was running behind
schedule, because of the unexpected trouble with the steam pipes.

Nothing, as yet, however, has explained the mysteriously
late arrival of the T.V. sets, a situation not new to this school
year.

tending such functions in num-
bers sufficient to justify their
continuation.

This type of concern, which
seems to be fairly widespread,
is disturbing when found on a
campus which has rightly been
proud of the superior quality
characterizing the education it
provides, because it indicates
the presence ot a conception
of the whole educational process
which is quantitative, not quali-
tative.

This indication is substan-
tiated by the nature of the stock
criteria which mark a student's
academic and social caste: the
number of hours spent in the
library, the number of papers
due in a week, the number of
nights stayed up, the number of
dates accepted (if you are a
freshman) or turned down (if
you are a senior).. .and on and
on. These status symbols are
indicative of nothing, just as
is a count of the audience at
vespers.

The worth of a chapel pro-
gram, or of anything having the
dimension of depth, is never
empirically determined. We, as
maturing students, need to re-
shape our guidelines for valuing
experiences - and to develop
personal resources to the point
that such stimuli as require
wide acclaim for their justifica-
tion will no longer be needed.

Regrets

Trouble

Dear Editor,

I was sorry indeed to hear

that Agnes Scott girls were un-
necessarily inconvienced by
telephones that would not ring,
coke machines that accepted
money and gave nothing in re-
turn, and elevators that were
out of order - leaving long
suffering Scotties to carry
stacks of new books up the
stairs.

Did you hear the telephone
truck running long hours into
the night as the telephone men
worked on the connections on
College Avenue? They were
there considerably past last
time limit. Did you watch Sylvia
Chapman and Mrs. Lindig type
up the revision of the operator's
flip file? The flip file saves
unmeasurable amounts of time
on the switchboard during the
first few days of school when no
one knows where any one lives.
This file, and the extension list-
ings posted on each hall are us-
ually not revised until halfway
through the quarter.

I'm sorry about the unneces-
sary inconveniences caused
contrary telephones, elevators
and coke machines. I'm glad
Scotties were able to buy new
books. Frances Foreman

Expresses
Gratitude

Dear Profile

Thank you very much for the
paper you published about me. I
think it was well written and
very nice and a very bewild-
ering and gratifying point for
people who, like me, have had
to deal rather often with inter-
viewers nearly accurate.

Fire Drills

Is House Council open for suggestions?

The safety of the student in case of an unexpected fire
remains an area worthy of much thought and consideration.
Education in the areas of fire prevention as well as conduct
and procedure during fire can mean the literal difference in
life and death. House Council stands to be commended for their
efforts in the thorough practice of fire drill regulations and their
interest in student safety.

On the other hand, perhaps House Council has overlooked,
or needs to be reminded, that the orgy of fire is no respector
of time. There is no natural lavvstatingthat disaster must and
will only strike during the early morning hours. Therefore,
why schedule the trio of fire drills between one and three in
the morning?

Cannot a fire blaze at noon or midnight? Prehaps a sche-
duled drill during the day when students are busy in the library,
running from classroom to class room, scurrying in the dorms,
washing their hair, taking a shower, scattered throughout the
dormitory studies, or engaged in a normal routine would help to
prepare the campus for the fire which is destined during waking
hours.

One drill which interrupts sleep is understandable; but why
disturb one catching precious moments of slumber and sleep-
ing hours do reach a premium at Agnes Scott three times
each year? Inevitably a student faces two quizzes the following
day, or she has spent the entire day and most of the night work-
ing on a paper. And a loathsome fire drill is not the most de-
sirably manner to end a hard day of studying.

Therefore, House Council, if the fire drill can be arranged
so that it looses neither its merit nor its student support, why
not consider adjusting the monotonous schedule to one with more
variety? It is hard to believe that after one has been awakened
by the sound of the seemingly Gestapo alarm, she will forget
how to evacuate a dormitory during the night.

Nevertheless, practice in deserting a building during the day
when one student must accept the responsibility of the absen-
tee house council member, close windows in the study smokers,
or check lights in several rooms not only might be beneficial
practice ia 'checking alertness if fire should strike during the
day, but also prevent a frantic campus from developing among
students if the threat of fire ever became a reality at Agnes
Scott.

AH my best wishes for the
paper and its staff.

Sincerely yours,
V. Volkoff

MOCKINGS
FROM

RAMON A

Dear Mom,

Of course not, mother. How
could you think such a thing?
It was my pink hair ribbon I
left in David's room. I wrote
him my thanks for returning
my, repeat, pink dressy hair
ribbon. I hope to hear from
him again soon.

It was a busy week, for every-
thing but study, as usual. I
served at the CA Circus. I was
an aardvark. Finding a costume
wasn't nearly as hard as learn-
ing to spell it. I was quite in-
spired by the acts, especially
Miss Boney's.

I went to hear Cleanth Brooks.
I really couldn't believe that
after struggling through that
book last spring, that f^would
actually hear him lecture. It
really made me want to take
the course over again. Funny,
Mr. Nelson and Dean Kline
thought I should do that, too.
Seriously, Mom, I am excited
about the top-notch lectures
we are having this year. As
Miss Boney suggested, I would
like to ask one intelligent ques-
tion of a lecturer before the
year is over. I'm working on
Rollo May right now.

Sunday the line in the dining
hall was so long that I went up
to get some chocolate milk to
sustain me through the three-
hour wait. Well, I ran into my
old friend Karen Shell and made
a big splash. The only nice thing
about the line was that I could
pride myself on being three
people in front of Dr. Alston.

I really craved it; maybe
that was because Mr. Nelson
introduced him.

Now the enchanting topic of
Georgia politics. Needless to
say, a few people were slightly
upset over the primary run-off
results. There is a grass roots
movement to write me in on the
general election ballot. Ex-
change committee is working
on a rather extensive exchange^
involving moving the entire
school to Alaska for four years.

That boy I met at the rush
party did call. He asked me to
the fair. His name is George
Maddox. We had a great time,
but his views are a little left
for me. I must keep him hidden
from Cassandra. She'd snap
him "right up. Cass sends you
her love, by the way. We're
looking forward to Sophomore
Parents Weekend when our fa-
milies can get together.

Tell all the gang howdy, es-
pecially Butch.

Love and kisses,
Ramona

"Exposed!

Boards Plan Exciting
Innovations For Year

Blanche Dow will be speak-
ing October 12 at Wednesday
Convocation about the Ameri-
can Association of University
Women. (AAUW), of which she
is now serving as National Pre-
sident.

The Boards are ready or al-
most ready, to announce their
plans fortheyear.

Linda Cooper, president of
Athletic Association, has let
it out that her board is plann-
ing a "subersive campaign to
take over the campus," But,
they also have other plans. A.A.
is taking over a C.A. service
project and will provide recrea-
tion for the girls at the juve-
nile detention home in Decatur.

The board is also planning
interdorm competition in any
sport, including tug-of-war and
Softball. This will be on a
challenge basis, with the added
attraction of a dorm "booby"
prize. Some tentative plans are
for basketball games with
Emory sororities, tennis and
swimming teams, and a split
spring season of volleyball and
Softball.

A.A. is also planning another
Blood Drive. The Board is now
looking into several self-de-
fense programs and also a pro-
gram in First Aid. So, along
with having their publicity sto-
len, A.A. has a busy schedule
for the coming year.

C.A.

The members of Christian
Association paused from a
meeting of cutting wagons and
flags out of colored paper to
announce some of their plans
for the year. C.A. is stressing
its membership with the Y.M.
C.A. and will try to offer scho-
larships for some of the sum-
mer programs to encourage
student participation.

The Board is also planning
an intercollegiate meeting here
on October 16, with James Mac-
kay and Ben Blackburn as spea-
kers. C.A. also expects to have
several outstanding pastors on
campus next quarter to offer
counseling service to interest-
ed students.

Another plan is for informal
denominational get-togethers at
supper with representative mi-
nisters from this area. This
project is sponsored by Inter-
faith Council.

Social Council

Social Council now has con-
crete plans for Wednesday Night
Casuals and hopes to begin
these later in the quarter. So-
cial Council also is planning a
fireside based on the recent
PROFILE survey, in the con-
text of the New Morality. Other
firesides include a discussion of
European travel.

Social Council movies are
now being ordered on an indi-
vidual basis so they will be of
better quality. The movies will
be shown on Friday nights with
hopes that more students will
attend. Hub parties are also
being planned that are a little
out of the ordinary - such as
a silent movie party, a wig
demonstration party, and per-
haps a bef ore-and-after make-
up party.

Social Council has a few sur-
prising approaches to the Dress
Policy, too, like a group of boys

to "spy" on campus and to
report their discoveries at a
panel discussion on "How Scot-
ties Look During the Week."

Social Council's big project
for the year will be the winter
dance weekend. Friday night
will feature the "Dynamics",
dance band, and Saturday night
will be formal with an orches-
tra.

Judicial

Ellen Wood, Chairman of Ju-
dicial Council, has denied the
rumor thai Judicial is planning
to contruct a gullotine in the
Quadrangle. Instead, Judicial
now has a rotating committee
to discuss small offences such
as lateness and minor chapero-
nage problems. This leaves Ju-
dicial more time to discuss
concept of penalties, in an ef-
fort to better understand the
workings of the Honor System.

Plans for Honor Emphasis
Week, with Kathy Reynolds as
chairman, are being made by a
committee formed of represen-
tatives from all the boards and
all the classes. This goes along
with Judicial's plans to broa-
den into the whole campus. Ju-
dicial is also working with Re-
presentative Council on a "re-

just how long can you stand to
crawl around in the finite mind
of a lacerated sensibility?"

Walter Posey: "A statesman is

Susan Aikman; "I wish Lester
Maddox were a statesman."

Housing meeting last week
was the occasion for an attack
upon one of the alienable rights
of the college girl to cover
a multitude of sins with her
raincoat. When confronted with
a rather optimistic theoretical
situation in which a girl has
on shorts under a raincoat at
breakfast, and asked why this
was wrong since on one could
see and be "offended," a house
president replied that someone
looking under the table might
be able to detect them. The ques-
tioner then retorted that if
people were going to crawl
around under tables looking up
raincoats, she intended to wear
bermudas to breakfast regular-

Rep

Representative Council plans
revolve around a concept de-
cided on during retreat.
The members are in favor of
de-emphasizing legislation for
deliberation. A major project
is to co-ordinate the activities
of the Boards. More specific
plans include work on the Apart-
ment Policy, ideas for a com-
munity project, and planned
chapels winter quarter in con-
junction with C.A. and the fa-
culty.

These chapels will cover to-
pics over a period of several
days. Representative Council
also has planned a symposium
on the "Modern City". Com-
mittee work is being done on
chapel evaluation, re-interpre-
tation of the Honor System, and
evaulation of elections and elec-
tion procedures.

Student services has been
broadened to include the Food
Services Committee. Repre-
sentative Council also plans
to familiarize itself with edu-
cational issues.

Drucker Leads
Cabin Session

Sunday October 9th, the se-
cond in a series of three dis-
cussions entitled "Quest for
Identity" will be held at the
Cabin from 3:30 to 5:00. The
topic at this time will be "Ho-
mosexuality", and the discus-
sion will be led by Mrs. Mel
Drucker, chairman of the Psy-
chology Department.

It is hoped that those attend-
ing the discussion will gain an
understanding of the causes of
homosexuality. This relates
to the question of what beha-
vior really means and the fact
that it is different things to dif-
ferent people.

Thus, the causes of homo-
sexuality are various. Miriam
Drucker will discuss the signs
of homosexuality, what a health-

ful attitude toward it would
consist of, the prognosis for
homosexuality, and therapy
available.

Mrs. Drucker is a clinical
psychologist, licensed to prac-
tice in Georgia. She has done
extensive work with college stu-
dents in her capacity as a psy-
chologist.

The first discussion, held on
September 25th, was on "Sui-
cide" and was led by LeeCopple.
On October 23th, Mel Drucker
will speak on "Alcoholism."

The purpose of this "Quest
for Idenity" series, sponsored
by Christian Association, is to
give helpful and enlightening in-
formation on three problems
of our society, especially in
college communities.

Black Cat

Cheer up, Freshmen. If
you're confused as to just ex-
actly what Black Cat is, you're
continuing a fine tradition with
many in previous freshman
classes. Hold on for several
weeks more; October 14 is
coming.

Here to help a littfe is. back-
ground material on our favorite
feline.

He was born fifty-one years
ago when Dr. Mary Sweet, the
college physician, got tired of
patching up skinned knees and
decided that energies expended
in the hazing of freshmen by
sophomores could be put to bet-
ter use.

She suggested that a compe-
tition between classes be insti-
tuted. This contest was to be.
two skits, one presented by
each of the rival classes, with
assistance from their sister
classes.

The idea was eagerly adopt-
ed and soon became our friend,
Black Cat, so named because of
Dr. Sweet's love of cats.

Black Cat continued as skit
competition until 1950 when the
contest was enlarged to include
all the classes, represented
individually. Beginning that
year, each class performed a
skit which included a song with
original music.

Later more changes were
made and the feline evolved
still farther until its present
stature as a production seldom
equaled south of Broadway.

Today three classes partici-
pate in the show with the best
of freshmen talent and ten
irrepressible cats.

Black Cat with its show, hoc-
key games, dance, song compe-
tition, and year song is a

great celebration the end of

orientation and a rousing wel-
come to ASC for our freshmen.

NSA Resolution Calls For
Abolition Of Draft System

\

JANE MCCURDY AND CAROL YOUNG set down to the serious
study required of them as seniors. Saturday morning in the
library can be fun.

Emory University Holds

Institute

Psychiatry

Georgia's Third Annual Insti-
tute on Group Behavior and
Group Leadership will be con-
ducted by the Department of
Psychiatry, Emory University
School of Medicine, at Callaway
Gardens on October 19-22,
1966. Programs details of this
annual forum were released by
Dr. William C. Conner, Chair-
man of the Institute and Coor-
dinator of Group Training at
Emory.

Principal speakers will be
Dr. Max Day, an outstanding
authority on group behavior, who
teaches at both Harvard and
Boston University, Dr. James
Morris Perkins, Assistant Pro-
fessor of Psychiatry at Emory,
Dr. C. Downing Tait, Associate
Professor of Psychiatry at
Emory, and Mr. Elmo Ellis, a
community leader and Manager
of WSB Radio.

'The purpose of this Institute
which is a group project in com-
munity psychiatry," said Dr.
Conner, "is to promote an
awareness of the signs and ef-
fects of everyday group behav-
ior among the various groups of
our society. These include the
family, social, educational, in-
stitutional, occupational, and
professional groups."

'To demonstrate this theme,"
Dr. Conner continued, "those
attending the Institute will ac-
tually participate by functioning
in small groups that will hold
two hour sessions with trained
leaders five times during the
four day meeting. Each per-
son attending will be assigned
to the small group which best
matches his or her previous ex-
perience."

"In these sessions the Insti-
tute member will see and sense
how human emotions shape and
influence group behavior," Dr.
Conner explained. "Special
emphasis will be focused upon

the role of the leader in every-
day group behavior."

Numerous groups represent-
ing the helping professions and
business will be interested in
the project in community psy-
chiatry. For information con-

September 1, 1966, the United
States National Student Con-
gress adopted a resolution call-
ing for the abolishment of the
present system of selective
service and for organized stu-
dent resistance to the system
while it still exists.

After eight and one-half hours
of debate on the subject, the
final bill, which had been in-
troduced as an "ammendment
by .substitution," was ratified
in a vote of 210-112 with 12
abstentions.

The bill is based on the prin-
ciple that "free and unfetter-
ed exercises of civil liberties
cannot be in conflict with na-
tional security." It declares
among other things, that a con-
scription system should not
function by chance and that "no
government should have the
right to compel its citizens
to kill."

In abolishing the draft the bill
would establish a universal vol-
unteer service in which the mil-

U. Of Colorado Student
Appeals Failing Grade

BOULDER, Colo. (CPS)-- If
you don't like your final grade,
take it to court. In a prece-
dent-making case a University
of Colorado coed has done just
that.

Miss Jacalyn Dieffenderfer
has charged her English Litera-
ture instructor, Miss Kaye
Bache, with improperly giving
her a failing grade for miscon-
duct cheating on a final ex-
amination.

The 20-year-old junior seeks
an injunction from Boulder Dis-
trict Court requiring the uni-
versity to change her grade.

Instructor Bache contends
that similarities between Jaca-
lyn's and another student's exa-
minations could not have occur-
red without cheating.

Miss Dieffenderfer maintains
that her work in the literature
course deserved a "B" or
better.

A university disciplinary com-
mittee which was called to hear
the case found the evidence

against Miss Dieffenderfer in-
sufficient to determine guilt.
When no action was taken as a
result of the committee de-
cision, the coed decided the
state courts were her only al-
ternative.

The suit names as codefen-
dants the University Regents,

itary would be only one of a
broad field of alternatives.

However the resolution does
reserve for congress, not the
President, the right to call for
conscription in time of na-
tional emergency, for the dura-
tion of the emergency only.

The final .resolution) differs
from others introduced in that
it calls for immediate reform in
the present system until the
time when it can be abolished,
whereas other bills called for
immediate abolition and alter-
native to the present system.

The first reform declares
that 2-s (student) deferment is
undemocratic and biased to-
ward higher socio-economic
levels.

This of course is the idea that
higher education is still a lux-
ury in our country and those
who are able to reach the high
academic standards required
by a 2-s are those who have a
richer background of experience
and who are not forced to main-
tain part time jobs to carry
the expenses of college.

Consequently we are requir-
ing those who have least bene-
fitted from the American way
of life to defend it.

A second reform would allow
for conscientous objection, to
war in general or a particular
war, on philosophical or polit-
ical as well as religious
grounds.

Finally the resolution man-
dates USNSA to organize legal
resistance and opposition to the
present system.

The voting at Agnes Scott in
regard to this issue returned the
very large majority satisfied

in our present method of se-
lective service, wanting pri-
marily only more privileges for
students. My interpretation
of our attitude is that on the
first hand it is irresponsible
and on the second hand, selfish.

Being girls, we are not di-
rectly affected by the draft and
though our brothers and boy-
friends are nervous, the ma-
jority are able to get defer-
ments. There is little personal
discomfort. I believe our reg-
istered satisfaction is in fact
not satisfaction at all but alack
of knowledge and concern.

In supporting the draft we are
demanding that our men risk
their lives and at least give
two of their most vital and ac-
tive years to serve as tools in
doing the will of the Pentagon.
Weighed against all the argu-
ments in favor of a conscrip-
tion, this is still a very ser-
ious demand to make of a citi-
zen.

And of all the Scottles who
so overwhelmingly endorsed
this idea, exactly 0.028% were
willing to subject themselves
to a similar responsibility in
saying that women should also
be required to serve.

The vote Agnes Scott cast on
this bill was in abstintion. Ob-
viously we were not in favor
of the bill. However, in this
particular situation a no-vote,
had it been successful, would
have meant the congress would
produce no legislation on this
issue, save for a very radical
minority report. Lynne and I
believed this issue was too im-
portant to let this happen^and
thus abstained for Scott.

Kline Explains Fine Points
Of Scott's Grading System

Grades and grading systems
are a source of much concern,
not only among students, but
among faculty as well. A new
wave of liberalism among stu-
dents advocates the "pass-fail"s
system.

But, as Marion T. Clark,
professor chemistry, points
out, "What would you do about
the person on the borderline?"

Just what sort of grading
system do we have at Agnes
Scott? The Faculty Handbook,
as quoted by C. Benton Kline,
Dean of the Faculty, "recom-
mends" that A be 93-100, B be
82-92, etc.

Mr. Kline further states that
this is only a recommendation
and that it is part of a faculty
member's academic freedom to
choose his own grading system.
He also states that faculty mem-
bers use "all sorts of sys-
tems.'*

In the past Agnes Scott tried
a system of grading under which
the only grades given were me-
rit, pass , and fail. Mr. Kline
states that soon faculty mem-
bers began to give merit , me-
rit , and merit .

Lmtil four years ago, giving
an exact number grade was pro-
hibited. However, Mr. Kline
feels that students want more
exact grading.

Only one "Faculty Law"
exists concerning grading, and
Mr. Kline states that it is strict-
ly enforced. It is that a student
with a C average or better who
fails a quarter exam must be
given a re-exam. Also, a stu-
dent who has failed a quarter's

by Jane D. Mahon

work may not pass the quarter
by passing the exam.

He feels that this "law" pro-
tects the student from thewhims
of a faculty member.

The Dean of the Faculty's of-
fice keeps a close watch on
grades. Each quarter, each fa-
culty member must turn in to
this office the grade distri-
bution (number of A's, -B's,
etc. made by freshmen, so-
phomores, etc.) for each class
he teaches.

By carefully watching these
grade distributions, Mr. Kline
can discern whether or not a
faculty member is grading con-
sistently too high or too low.
When this occurs, he can sug-
gest that the teacher raise or
lower his standards. He might
even urge that the faculty mem-
ber change a grade, but he can-
not force a teacher to do this.

Mr. Kline points out that such
occurance are rare.

Any lack of uniformity
throughout the college is due,
however, not so much to the
diverse systems of grading but
to the difference in subject mat-
ter. Essay questions cannot be
graded as exactly as objective
questions. For this reason gra-
des on a history or English
quiz would tend toward the
middle while those on a math
or language quiz would be more
evenly distributed.

Frequently, according to Mr.
Kline, teachers scale grades.
However, they do not use a
standard deviation curve, be-
cause too few Agnes Scott stu-
dents ever make an F. When

scaling grades Mr. Kline says
that most faculty members use
B-as the median grade.

He has records of grade dis-
tributions which date as far
back as 1923. At that time the
percentage of F's in all the gra-
des given for that year was 15.
Now it is less that 1/2 of 1%.
Mr. Kline attributes this to
the increasing competence of
the students.

Other statistics attest to this
fact. Mr. Kline states that grade
curves have steadily risen in
the last 5 to 8 years. First
there were as many B's made
as C's. Now A' and B;s make
up more than 50% of all the gra-
des made. He says that this
has consistently been true for
juniors, and seniors in recent
years, but now it is also true
of freshmen and sophomores.

Not only are students increa-
sing in competence, but, as a
comparison of grades made
in college with College Board
scores shows, the faculty is
steadily stiffening its require-
ments of students.

Another example of Agnes
Scott's high scholastic stan-
dards is its requirements for
Honor Roll. Freshmen and so-
phomores must have a 2.3 over
all grade point average while
juniors and seniors must have
a 2.5 over all grade point ave-
rage. Anyone with a 2.0 over all
average is placed on the Merit
List. Many schools require only
a 2.0 average for their com-
parable distinction, the Dean's
List.

Mortar Board Asks
Students For Help

Mortar Board needs your help 1
This year, in cooperation with
Rep Council and its commit-
tees, we are attempting to eval-
uate thoughtfully certain areas
of life at Agnes Scott and offer
suggestions for new growth.

Many of these areas have
been discussed at retreat and
in the elevators, dining hall,
faculty lounge, and Hub on cam-
pus. We need to know what you
think.

Please discuss with Linda
Marks your suggestions about
Agnes Scott's role in preparing
its students for graduate school.

Betty Butler and Helen Heard
are undertaking a study of
Agnes Scott's money situation,
especially regarding scholar-
ships and employee and faculty
salaries.

Let Ellen Wood and Reorgan-
ization Committee know your
ideas about lessening the bur-
den of routine tasks which fall
upon students in student govern-
ment, and about eliminating red
tape. Jane McCurdy is com-
municating Mortar Board's
ideas on chapels to a Rep Coun-
cil chapel committee.

If you have thoughts about
what the college should do to
help us prepare for vocations,
see Barbara Dowd. And if you

have any notion about a less
cumbersome election proce-
dure, see Grace Winn or a
member of Reorganization
Committee.

We will have our ears open for
your suggestions about improv-
ing Agnes Scott and for your
voices raised in song a new
alma mater.

Tell any of us your thoughts
about Agnes Scott's preparation
of its students for marriage,
through marriage classes and
otherwise.

Our "boldest-purple" pro-
ject is the alma mater. Two
songs were suggested in the
spring of 1965.

Thanks to much hard work by
Marsha Williams, they are
slowly seeping into the public
domain. Sing them in the Hub
and give them a fair chance to
catch on.

If anyone can suggest another
candidate for an alma mater,
by writing an original song or
by suggesting new words or
music for a current favorite,
please let us know immediately.

Not many people are given
the chance to write a song to
be sung by all the future gen-
erations at their school. Seize
the opportunity.

Grades Have

No Later
Consequences

WASHINGTON (CPS) There
seems to be no direct rela-
tionship between high grades in
college anglprofessionalsuccess
in later life, two recent studies
indicate.

Dr. Eli Ginzberg, a New York
researcher, studied a group of
Columbia University graduate
students who had won fellow-
ships to the school between 1944
and 1950. Ginzberg's task was
to find out how successful the
342 students had become 14
years after they completed their
fellowships.

The findings showed students
who had graduated from college
with honors, who had won scho-
lastic medals or who had been
elected to Phi Beta Kappa were
more likely to be in the "lower
professional performance le-
vels" than students who had not
distinguished themselves while
in college.

In another survey, a team of
University of Utah professors
found there is almost no rela-
tionship between the grades a
medical student gets and his
later performance.

This finding startled the lea-
der of the research team, Dr.
Phillip B. Price. He called it
a "shocking finding to a me-
dical educator like myself who
has spent his professional life
selecting applicants for admis-
sion to medical school.

He added that the study caus-
ed him to question the adequacy
of grades not only in selecting
those who should be admitted
to medical school but also
in measuring a student's pro-
gress.

There are numerous theories
attempting to explain these sur-
prising findings. The most com-
mon one affirms that the over-
emphais on grades which be-
gins when a student is in junior
high school and continues
throughout his academic career
tends to destroy interest in
learning for its own sake.

John Holt, an educator and
author of "Why Children Fail,"
observes that current school
methods destroy love of learn-
ing by encouraging students to
work for petty rewards na-
mes on honor rolls, gold stars,
for the "ignoble satisfaction
of feeling they are better than
someone else."

Former Marburg
Prof Teaches Here

Hermann Bicknese, associate
professor of German and a new
member of the faculty of Agnes
Scott College, was born in Ger-
many and studied at Marburg
University.

He first came to the United
States in 1950 when he spent a

Hermann Bicknese

year at Duke University on an
exchange scholarship.

He returned in 1957 to teach
Latin, English and German at the
Grahm-Eckes School in Palm
Beach, Florida. His first col-
lege job was teaching German
at Southwestern at Memphis
from 1960-1963.

In 1963 he was asked to es-
tablish and direct the Ameri-
can Junior Year Aboard at Mar-
burg University for the Pennsy-
lvania state colleges under the
auspices of Millesvlle State
College. He was director of
this program prior to coming
to Agnes Scott.

Mr. Bicknese has written a
travel novel for young people
about his experiences in Ame-
rica, which was published in
Germany. He has also publish-
ed an article in the German
Quarterly about study aboard.
He plans to climax three years
of research on this subject with
a long article or a book.

Mr. Bicknese, his wife, and
three sons chose to make the
"South their home, because they
"don't like to live in congest-
ed, busy, impersonal areas as
are in the Eat and Midwest."
He states that the scenery here
is very pretty, and this was a
prerequisite for establishing
residence after coming from
the remarkable scenery of Ger-
many.

He states that he thinks he
will like living in Decatur, be-
cause it is near the mountains
as well as the coast. Also, he

wanted to live in the eastern
tTnfted States to facilitate sum-
mers in Europe.

Mr. Bicknese believes he is
going to like teaching at Agnes
Scott. From experience in a co-
ed school he states that he has
found girls more enjoyable to
teach, because he finds them
more motivated, especially in
languages.

He is presently teaching two
classes of second year Ger-
man and one drama course.

UCCF Speakers Present
Opposite Views Of Action

Upon first hearing of the Uni-
ted Campus Christian Fellow-
ship, I was greatly impressed
by its attempt at ecumenicity.
Therefore, I was excited about
being sent by the Synod of Geor-
gia Westminster Fellowship to
the UCCF National Consultation
in St. Louis the last of August.

The consultation title was
"The Aim of Higher Education:
Social adjustment or human li-
beration?" The meeting was of-
ficially opened by Dr. Stanley
Idzerda, Dean of the College,
Wesleyan University, with what
he called a rhetorical address
on the title of the consultation.
He was one speaker who said
much to me.

In speaking of college stu-
dents, he divided them into two
groups; the 96 per cent who are
in college "making a pact with
society," and the 4 per cent
who regard education as "a
laboratory for self - percep-
tion." Although he advocated
liberation of self through a
liberal education, he warned
that "specializing students are
more welcomed by professors
than those who are seeking
liberation."

Human liberation sets one
free from the "ratrace" and
free for something outside him-
self. Dr. Idzerda stressed the
importance of enjoying truth,
living it, and sharing it.

This liberation, then, enables
one to "join the human race."
Although human liberation is the
first step in education, "free-
dom is worthless outside the
bounds of society."

Another speaker who particu-
larly interested me was Paul
Booth, the Executive Secretary
of Students for Democratic So-
ciety. He first interested me be-
cause at this point in the con-
sultation I was a little tired with
being impressed by the voca-
bularies of speakers, and was
ready to hear something in
words of one syllable. He was
very frank, and to thepoint, and
expressed himself in a unique
way.

Second, he frightened me be-
cause I soon realized that he was
the kind of speaker whocan wrap

an audience around his finger.
I'm glad he didn't ask us to get
up at that moment and swim
across the Mississippi, because
I'm sure that I would have tried.

The differences in Booth's
and Idzerda's attitudes were
striking to me. Although both
spoke of the "ratrace," Booth
was much more hostile towards
it. He advocated getting out the
ratrace by physical action, ra-
ther than by mental endeavor,
as did Dr. Idzerda. Booth seem-
ed a little unrealistic to me as
he advocated students' setting
up free universities and pulling
out of classrooms in which they
felt no learning was taking
place. It would seem to me
more realistic for students
to work for change in the
situations in which they find
themselves.

The attitude towards educa-
tion of most of the students
and faculty at the consultation

was one of uncertainty-and

I believe rightly so. Once a

student has before him the
ultimate goals: human libe-
ration and social ajustment,
he must find the right means
to these goals. I'm not sure
that many people find the right
means to these goals, but I
believe that the people at the
consultation were looking har-
der than most.

The consultation left me with
an overall strange feeling. Al-
though the conference was
church sponsored, the Church
was never mentioned by the
panel members, and discussed
as almost an afterthought by
our discussion group. How ef-
fective is the church if the
only time we mention it is in
asking when it is "timely" to
identify ourselves to others as
Christians?

CatSkit Faces Student
ReviewFor First Time

This year, for the first time,
the Black Cat production was re-
viewed by a student board.

The old administrative-fac-
ulty Entertainment Committee
has been replaced by a student
group, known for the time as the
Productions Advisory Board.
The permanent positions on the
board will be filled by repre-
sentatives from Arts Council,
Blackfriars, Dance Group,
Mortar Board, and the publica-
tions.

The board this year is com-
posed of Mary Barnett, Sandra
Earley, Carol Sutherland,
Poppy Wilson, and Grace Winn,
They will serve until two weeks
after elections *

The idea for the board came
from President Wallace Alston
at a Mortar Board meeting last
spring. Mortar Board Presi-
dent Grace Winn states that this

"points out that we don't use
the channels we have enough.
We had barely articulated our
complaint when Dr. Alston sug-
gested that students take over
this review function."

The board will review all
original student production to
which the entire campus com-
munity. This currently includes
Black Cat and Senior Opera,
It may be called in to review
another production, such as at
Junior Jaunt. Groups like
Blackfriars that produce regu-
larly are not included.

There are no faculty mem-
bers on the board, but one may
be requested for a certain pro-
duction.

October 14, at 4 p.m., Agnes
Scott's 1^6 Black Cat Day of-
ficially begins with the first
hockey game of the season,
freshmen play sophomores,
and juniors play seniors.

Supper is to be served at
5:30 p.m. on the aforemention-
ed date, in picnic style (provid-
ed the elements are willing).
Further events planned are the
grand march; beginning at 6:45j
the song contest, at 7:00p.m. and
the zenith of the day, the Black
Cat skit.

At approximately 8 p.m., the
curtains in Gaines Auditorium
will part, revealing yet another
Black Cat production at Agnes
Scott. A cast of thousands is
rumored to be eagerly awaiting
the signal to cram itself behind
the scenes.

Alice Harrison, director,
promises that this year's skit
will open and close "with a rip,
snort, and bang." Candy Wal-
den, choreographer, intends to
keep nearly everybody on her
toes nearlv all the time.

Designed to depict the Agnes
Scott that uperclassmen know,
this year's work of art will
also arouse several not-so-
far-in-the-part memories from
freshmen- Although not a murder
mystery, the script has a plot
that curves and twines and bends
around intrigue galore.

In addition to the beauty of
its structural form and the

perfectionof its plot, there is
not much to say about the play.

The producers aim to per-
suade you, the audience, that not
only felines are catty, and that
rush parties can be fun.

been working frantically all fall

Mackay 9 Blackburn Engage
In Debate Sunday At Scott

Interested ' in Georgia po-
litics?

Candidates for Georgia's
Fourth district Congressional
seat, James Mackay and Ben
Blackburn will debate at Agnes
Scott Sunday, Oct. 16,

James Mackay. 49, is the in-
cumbent Democratic candidate
from the Fourth District in
which Agnes Scott is located.
Ben Blackburn, a 39 year-old
Atlanta attorney, is his Repub-
lican opponent.

As a member of Congress
Rep. Mackay is a member of the
House Committee on Interstate
and Foreign Commerce and the
Sub-committee on Public Health
and Welfare.

He has been influential in
passing a traffic safety bill
which provides a national pro-
gram to build a safer traffic
system throughout the fifty
states.

Rep. Mackay's campaign
points' out his accomplish-
ments in the Georgia legislature
where he was a leader in the
fight against the county unit
system, and in state welfare
programs.

During his term he has de-
veloped the Citizens Panel idea.
In an April, 1966 newsletter he
reported that these panels have
"increased the quantity and
quality of information in the
hands of our citizens, and . .
have helped me immeasurably
in my work in Washington."

Mr. Blackburn also supports
the theory of this idea. If elect-
ed, he says," I would hold re-
gular town meetings to keep
well-informed on the thinking
of our Fourth District citizens.
I would earnestly seek ideas and
suggestions for ways to improve
our government to benefit our
people. Many of our key laws
are the result of citizens back
horns taking the time to keep in
touch with their Congressmen."

In the campaign Mr. Black-
burn has attacked Rep. Mac-
kay for yielding to the demands
of President Johnson. In a state-
ment, issued at the opening of
his campaign headquarters Sep-
tember 9, Mr. Blackburn said,
"We don't need a 'Big Bro-
ther* in Washington. We need
someone who is willing to trust
us with a complete disclosure
of what is taking place.

"Unfortunately, our man in
Washington, James Mackay, has
stood silently aside from that
group of concerned Congress-
men from both political parties
who have desperately tried to
let the truth come out on the
Bobby Baker scandals, the bla-
tant use of influence through
membership by financial con-
tribution in theLBJ President's
Club, the Johnson bypass of
Congress and his abuse of po-
wer indealingwith the aluminum
and steel industries,"

The candidates have varying
views on other issues. In the

House Sept. 27, Rep. Mackay
spoke about his belief in the
economic opportunity program.
He said, "I have examined the
Headstart, the Upward Bound,
the Neighborhood Youth Corps
and other programs and found
them valuable. I will support
amendments that I think would
strengthen this program or eli-
minate abuses in it, but most
of the abuses I hear of are in
the administration and not in the
law.'

Mr. Blackburn has a strong
view on what he considers the
mismanagement of the Great
Society. In his September 9
speech he argued, "The peo-
ple of Georgia and the nation
applaud the high sounding goals
and objectives of the Great
Society. They cannot under-
stand the adsurdities of the
methods used to achieve it."

On the debate at Agnes Scott
Mr. Blackburn said, "I'm happy
to have this opportunity to dis-
cuss the issues with my op-
ponent before the students of
Agnes Scott. The political think-
ing of the students of today
will determine the course of
our national future."

Rep. Mackay is married to
a Agnes Scott graduate, Mary
Caroline Lee, and has two chil-
dren.

Mr. Blackburn met his wife
Mary in the Navy and they now
have four children.

Tuesday, October 18 M.Stan-
ton Evans will speak on the Scott
campus.

Mr. Evans is a spokeman of
conservatism and is best known
as the editor of the conser-
vative Indianapolis News .

At 26, he became the young-
est editor of a metropolitan
daily newspaper. He was an ex-
ponent in the resurgence of
"healthy conservatism" dur-
ing his years at Yale Univer-
sity where he graduated Phi
Beta Kappa, magna cum laude.
He has been assistant editor
of the Freeman, managing edit-
tor of Human_Events and a mem-
ber of the editorial staff of
National Review,

Stanton Evans' latest book is
The Liberal Establishment
which is subtitled, "Who Runs
America. . .and How?" In this
book he states that he believes
there is ari informal, powerful
community representing mutual
interests which through the pub-
lic communications media, civil
institutions, and foundations ad-
minister our affairs.

These people believe in ex-
tremely centralized govern-
ment, central planning, the wel-
fare state, and Cold War ac-
comodation.

He believes that this Estab-
lishment is dangerous in that its
liberalism is creating a system
of controls which will eventually
jeopardize our liberties.

book the Conservative Book
Club states that Evans draws
parallels between the ADA and
Fabian Socialism. Also he talks
about the danger of control
by the liberal Left in govern-
ment.

In a recent article in the
conservative tjgtio qal Rev iew
that is edited by William F.
Buckley, Jr.^Evans talked about
the defeat of the repeal of 14b
of the Taft-Hartley Act.

He called the defeat a posi-
tive step in Republican policy
because they came out as strict-
ly opposed to the repeal instead
of merely proposing an alter-
nate government plan of action
as they have in the past.

Also he saw the defeat of the
repeal of 14b as showing pub-
lic concern overthe present
men with too much power. Mr.
Evans is presently Associate
Editor of the Natio nal Review .

In addition to The Liberal
Establishment Evans wrote Re-
volt on the Campus and The" !
Fring e on Top and co-authored
What Is Conservatism?

In 1959 and 1960 he received
Freedom Foundations Award
for editorial writing. Also he
was given one of the highest
honors in journalism -- the
National Headliners Club A-
ward for "consistantly out-
standing editorial pages."

Tuesday night Mr. Evans will
speak at 8:15 p.m. Following
his lecture students will have
a chance to question Mr. Evans
about his lecture and his con-
servative stands.

In preparation for Mr. Evans'
coming there will be a Hub
discussion at 6:30 p.m. Sun-
day, October 16. The session
will center on conservatism in
contemporary journalism.

OCTOBER 13, 1966

Politics

There is a running debate among college journalists on the
question of taking political stands. Most likely, the PROFILE,
in a school as small as Agnes Scott, would not comment on,
much less endorse, a political candidate ordinarily. This, how-
ever, is no ordinary case. We feel that silence in the midst
of the current situation in Georgia would be failure to recognize
the gravity of that situation. Therefore, we proceed, though less
to endorse than to deplore.

We cannot even consider supporting "Democrat" Lester
Maddox. The only credentials for his candidacy that the high-
school drop-out can produce are his prowess with gun and axe
handle in his dramatic 1964 refusal to serve Negroes at his
Pickrick Restaurant and his subsequent shutdown of that business,
a course he chose in preference to compliance with the 1964
Civil Rights Act.

We must agree with Charles Weltner that Maddox is "the one
man in our state who exists as the very symbol of violence and
oppression."

It is terrible to think of the consequences of Maddox's elec-
tion to the number one office. Under Ernest Vandiver and then
nationally-favored Carl Sanders, Georgia has been reaching a
new level of economic power and national prestige. We see all
that gain, material and intangible, in danger of crashing away,
despite Maddox's wild claims of even greater progress. The man
is himself the very antithesis of progress.

Fundamental Lack

Finally, Maddox displays a lundamental lack of understanding
of American politics. Before the calamitous run-off election
he announced his sure victory over moderate Ellis Arnall be-
cause 60 per cent of the vote in the primary was conserva-
tive. (It is unknown how he arrived at that particular figure.
Arnall and moderate Jimmy Carter together polled more votes
than the four conservative candidates combined). Since then he
has talked of his conservative support in the conservative party.
It would seem that such a conservative as Maddox should run in
the traditionally conservative organization, the Republican Party.

But Georgia Republicans, so called to distinguish them from
regular Republicans, as is sometimes necessary, have their own
candidate. Millionaire Howard "Bo" Callaway has the distinc-
tion of being Georgia's first Republican congressman since
Reconstruction; he might be Georgia's first Republican governor
since 1868. Such a change from solid Democratic rule would
normally be a good thing, but this particular case is more
subtle.

Callaway is a Goldwater man and a segregationist, though
of a more refined type than Maddox. Someone has summed up
the choice between Callaway and Maddox as a question of
whether one wants the bigotry grammatically phrased.

Furthermore, Callaway is almost as lacking in experience
as Maddox; lie finishes his first term in the House of Repre-
sentatives this year. He also has ties with some of the darker
elements in Georgia politics, namely Democrats Herman Tal-
madge and Marvin Griffin.

Side Effects

Callaway's election would not have the disastrous side ef-
fects almost certain to accompany Maddox's. At least Georgia
citizens would not be ashamed to send him to the national gover-
nors' convention. Nevertheless, we cannot see him as the man to
lead Georgia.

The hope for the state emerges from the facts. The majority
of Georgia voters are moderate, as shown by the totals for
Arnall and Carter. Despite Republican denials, it was a GOP
crossover vote in the runoff that nominated Maddox, the easier
target for Republicans in November. One source estimates as
many as 100,000 Republicans, or at least people who will vote
Republican in November, voted for Maddox*. plenty of Callaway-
Stickered cars were spotted at the polls.

There is no other way to explain the outcome in DeKalb
County, state st onghoid of true Republican sentiment, where
\rnall squeezed by Maddox by only 7000 votes and moderate
George T. Smith, who barely made it into a runoff for lieu-
tenant governor, amassed 21,000 votes over encumbent Peter
Zaek Geer, "Georgia's Young Mr. Conservative."

The ^ad thing is ihat the trick may backfire. The easy
target i^ growing stronger. Maddox is taking the hard-line
segregationist support on which Callaway was counting, along
\wth Democratic loyalists. To win, Callaway must court the mo-
derate and liberal, normally Democratic, vote. So far he has
been in no hurry to do so. So far he has attacked both Sanders
and Weltner: he will win few moderates that way. They may not
vote, or they will protest with a write-in, organized or not.
We must place ourselves among those moderates who can, in
gotxl conscience, vote for neither Maddox nor Callaway. Ami
we hope this moderate majority can survive and influence the
unknown four \ears ahead.

Record

Dear Editor:

In order to keep the record
straight, I am writing to call at-
tention to an inaccuracy in the
lead editorial of the October 6
issue of THE PROFILE. The
person who wrote the editorial
stated: "President Wallace Al-
ston declined to discuss Reyn-
olds Price's work in his meet-
ings with the orientation
groups."

It is true that I did not pre-
cipitate a discussion of A Gen -
ero us Man with the groups com-
ing to me for ten-minute visits
during the opening days of
school.- 1 decided that it would
be far better for the book to be
discussed by the panel, in dorm
discussions, and in other ways
that had been provided by the
orientation committee.

While this is true, I did not
decline to talk about the book
with anyone who introduced the
matter. I have had a number
of talks with students and fac-
ulty members about the book,
and, I have no doubt, there will
be additional opportunities for
such discussions. As a matter
of fact, I have never "declin-

MOCKINGS

RAMON A

Dear Mom,

I want to apologize forth? in-
coherent quality of my last let-
ter. I really must take up
writing in the pool room.,

It was a fair to remember.
Of course, I dropped the lovely
cbina plates he won for me from
the top of the ferris wheel. On
the head of the attendant. We
had rather a long ride. It was
doubly exciting because Alice
Harrison, Ann Roberts, and
Virginia Russell were cram-
med into the car in front of us.
At every revolution, Virginia
shouted, "We'll all be killed!"

I really like George Maddox.
He's a doll. I asked him to the
Black Cat dance. Speaking of
Black Cat, the aforementioned
Alice threw me out for not
coming to rehearsal. But I
have such an important part,
she was forced to put me back
into the production.

Alice has done a great job,
though, as has the script com-
mittee. Black Cat is really
great this year and I can hardly
wait for the campus to see it.

Can you believe our class won
the scholarship trophy? That is
so terrific. Of course, they for-
got to read my name on the Hon-
or Roll but everyone knows I
am on it. They gave me a party
fact. It was truly the best Hub
party I have ever been to.

We had a great time trying to
find out the freshman mascot.
Some upper classmen stood in
the street and created a diver-
sion while I climbed up a lad-
der outside Maclean to over-
hear the meeting. Of course,
I fell off and the diversion cre-
ated was so great that I lay
moaning in the bushes for two
hours. I understand that the
black hooded rapist was spot-
ted back of Rebekah.

I really haven't time to write
more. My dramatic role in
Black Cat is demanding every
minute.

Dear Editor,

In the past, we have all heard
criticisms of the A.S.C. Infir-
mary. Haying just been dismis-
sed, myself, I would offer se -
eral things we might think about.
Often it is too easy to complain

or to criticize things or people
about which we know little.

It is important that we stu-
dents be aware of shortcom-
. ings that should be corrected,
but also it is good for us to
recognize the creditable as-
pects of A.S.C. services.

I want to thank the infirmary
for their concern as well as for
their medical help while I was
ill. It is a comfort when one is
really ill to know that there is
a place with a quiet room and a
bed and a staff who is inter-
ested, competent, and concern-
ed. Again I express apprecia-
tion and thanks to the A.S.C.
Infirmary.

Sincerely,

Laurels

We wish to recognize the progress represented by the use,
for the first time, for a student board to review the Black Cat
production. The fact is an advance in itself and it is indicative
of much more. -

As Mortar Board President Grace Winn has said, it shows J
that students do not often enough use the channels open to them.
There is too frequently a negative attitude, the feeling that there
is no use trying because the answer will be no.

The creation of the all-student Productions Advisory Board
is proof to the contrary. We commend the administration for
their intiative and urge students to take this as an example of
what can be done.

Congratulations to the staff of the 1966 SILHOUETTE, from
editor Bev Allen and associate editor Pam Burneyto the typists.

The achievement of an ACP Ail-American rating is quite
a distinction. We hope that the award can become more usual
in the future.

Good luck to the staff of the 1967 book under Frances Wads-
worth.

Dear Mr. Brooks,

In addition to the formal wel-
come extended to you by Dr. Al-
ston and the members of our
faculty, some friends above you
would like to add theirs:
SECOND WALTERS
WELCOMES YOU

On the campus during the day
you may not know we're around,
but I am confident that at night
you are fully aware of who we
are.

We are greatly honored to
have such a distinguished per-
son in our home, and due to
this Jact have tried to keep our
activities down to a mild
though continual roar.

For your own goo4jwe syg-
geS? that at 10 pMV you' step
outside for a break. For 30
minutes we are allowed to make
noise, needless to say, we take
full advantage of this opportun-
ity.

Since you are for a time,
one of us, second Walters would
like to invite you to attend our
"ARTY PARTY" to be held
Thursday night following your
lecture. The party will be
given by Marcia King and Olivia
Hicks in room 200, with proper
chape rones.

I hope that you understand
that if you accept our invitation
you may be called upon to make
several profound critical re-
marks concerning the art work
to be unveiled. Dress informal-
ly and come in good spirits.

This is a sincere effort by
us to show you, our favorite
ex- cultural attache, that al-
though Second Walters is loud,
it is not a cultural wasteland.

Respectfully yours,
Talissa McCormick

cessibility to agile camera fli-
ckers.

From his vantage point Mr.
Brooks could trace the route
of the hand - borne chocolate
drops, and could determine who
actually knew the words to
"Poor Lil" and who didn't.
Although he remarked upon the
4 tension" in the song, he con-
fessed himself unable to make
out the last line.

Mr. Brooks was also se-
renaded to the tune of "This
Land is Your Land." "I wish
you had been at the embassy with
me," he quipped. 'The British
would have loved to hear you
sing that." But the Singspiele
had to end. There were mat-
ters of greater moment at hand.

Object

The mysterious object was a
painting. It was done by an ar-
tist apparently as ill-reputed as
Poor Lil, since no one had here-
tofore been aware that she was
an artist (Vicki Justice).

The painting was to be un-
veiled at this particular time
because it was generally thought
that the event would be en-
hanced by the participation of
Cleanth Brooks, who is also an
artist . ('Of comparable ta-
lents, of course," Ann Hoefer
granted).

It was Sherry Grogan at the
lights at the indecisive moment.
The glare from the electric-
and candlelight was extinguish-
ed, and a small desk-spotlight
focused on the obiet.

What was revealed seemed to
be a collage of pink Edelweiss
and asparagus sprays, upon
which several fishing flies had
been superimposed. The entire
company viewed the creation
hand over heart, or as one wag
had it, "hand over eyes' , and
Mr. Brooks was asked to Com-
ment (favorably).

"Overcome"

What Mr. Brooks - Comment
was, was this: "I am over-
come."

The success of the Unveil-
ing propelled the hostesses onto
even greater endeavors. The
next event was the Reading of an
original story, written by Eva
Saggus. "Shakespeare '66", as
it was called, is a moderniza-
tion of the Romeo and Juliet
story.

There ill - starred lovers,
however, are kept apart not
because of the antipathy be-
tween their families, but be-
cause they probably could not
scrape up the bus fare to meet
in the city. In the end, they
decide to "take all and perish,"
and they do, plunging a rusty
spoon into their respective
hearts. (Loud Applause)

The ever-present Powers-
that-Be called Mr. Brooks away
from the lively group at this
point. The "artistes" thanked
him for coming, but he replied
that the thanks" go the other
way".

He complimented the group as
an audience who had listened
to his lecture on the Poetry of
Tension with more intelligence
and responsiveness than the
Royal Society of Literature.
The reason he gave for this
difference was, "You ain't stuf-
fyl'

None felt Mr. Brooks to be
stuffy himself, neither in his
lectures nor his conversation.
He left the students with a mo-
dest proposal: "Why don't you
come up and see me some-
time?"

Homosexuality
Has Two Causes

by Jane D.

Mrs. Miriam Drucker, chair-
man of the Department of Psy-
chology, led a discussion on ho-
mosexuality in Rogers Cabin,
October 9. This discussion was
second in a series, sponsored by
Christian Association, entitled
"Quest for Identity."

Twenty - seven students and
two male visitors took part in
the discussion. According to
Zolly Zollicoffer, chairman of
the discussion group for C.A.,
this discussion was better at-
tended that the last one on sui-
cide led by Lee Copple.

Mr. Drucker began talking
about homosexuality by giving
two brief definitions of the word.
The most well-known is that ho-
mosexuality is sexual response
to one's own sex and the other
is sex role inversion or taking
over the role of the opposite
sex.

She went on to give current
reasons cited in psychological
literature as to why people
become homosexuals. Of the
first group, which was made up
of physical causes and includ-
ed such reasons as genetic fac-
tors, hormonal inbalance and
brain damage, Mrs. Drucker
personally upheld as the plau-
sible idea in this group that of
immature physique as being
a contrubuting factor to ho-
mosexuality.

Homosexuality also has psy-
chological causes. Another
group of reasons has to do with
family relationships, speci-

Mahon

fically parent-child relation-
ships. Peer relationships can
also be influential in causing
homosexual tendencies.

Mrs. Drucker was careful to
point out that even if a child
has experiences which can in-
fluence him toward homosexu-
ality, he will not necessarily be-
come a homosexual. She also
stressed that one or even sever-
al homosexual experiences does
not make a person a"bone fide"
homosexual.

Mrs. Drucker moved from
trying to give reasons for homo-
sexuality to a description of the
behavior and personality of the
homosexual . The homosexual
is generally emotionally and of-
ten physically immature. He is
hostile and rebellious toward
society, and he wants every-
thing done for him.

She stated that the confirmed
homosexual can be helped by
psychoanalysis or some very
successful short term analyses
if he sincerely wants to change.
Howe ver, she pointed out that
if he does not want to be help-
ed, there is absolutely nothing
anyone can do for him.

An interesting point Mrs.
Drucker made was that the un-
derlying behavior patterns and
personality dynamics of the
homosexual are the same as
that of other addicts such as al-
coholics and drug addicts.

October 21, Mr. Melvin
Drucker will lead a discussion
on alcoholism.

Notice

There is far more creativity
here than the body of our crea-
tions would indicate. For some
reasons (which most of us would
be more than willing to enu-
merate) our input - output ra-
tio is obviously one-sided. Ra-
ther stifling pressures do exist,
to be sure: did Shakespeare ever
have three papers and two quiz-
zes dueonthe same day? None-
theless, one of the fringe bene-
fits of a creation is the th-
erapeutic effect on the creator.

For this reason, then, as well
as for obvious others, AURORA
welcomes contributions for its
fall issue - from the freshman

abashed by the amazing indif-
ference with which her first
critical paper was received and
anxious to override stodgy aca-
demic objections to her literary
license or the senior who is
making one last trial run be-
fore breaking into the Atlantic.
If you have no need of a public
mouth to perform one of the a-
bove functions, let your free-
spirit go: write a string quar-
tet, weave a rug, illustrate the
complete Mother Goose, design
a world's fair pavilion or some
such. And be sure to turn it in
to AURORA by November 5.

THE PROFILE

1966

Student Abroad Must Be
Receptive To Culture

In addition to students who
have seen European cultures in
contrast to their own, Agnes
Scott has on its campus stu-
dents and professors who see
these cultures as home. One of
these is Renate Thimester, as-
sistant professor of economics,
who was graduated from the
Sorbonne in Paris.
During her four years in the
United States, Miss Thimester
has done graduate work at the
University of Alabama and
taught French at Stillman Col-
lege.

Miss Thimester sees the pro-
blem of French university life,
a topic of recent discussion on
this campus, as anyone sees
problems in his own country.
Some things disturbing to a
foreign student she accepts as
natural for her country.

For example, student be-
havior in classes is often loud
and seemingly rude. This fact
is explained as typical of the
French people, according to
Miss Thimester.

"The French always want
to be sure their viewpoint is
heard- If they dislike a lecture
they may whistle, but they may
also clap if they like it very
much."

One problem MissThimester
said she knew of Americanstu-
dents' having at the Sorbonne
was that of disciplining them-
selves to study. Since many
courses have only one test of
semester a student is practi-
cally independent until then. "I
enjoyed this," she said, "but
some just got left behind."

Discussing the student - pro-
fessor ratio, MissThimester a-
grees that it is quite large.
In a popular course there may
be thousands of students, seat-
ed in an amphitheater, to whom
the professor will lecture
through a microphone.

To offset these crowded
classes students join smaller
study groups. Several students
agree to attend several dif-
ferent courses and Zerox co-

pies of discussion notes are then
distributed to all. Each student
is still responsible for read-
ing assignments on his own.

Speaking of the absence of
campus life at the Sorbonne,
Miss Thimester said that
French students are usually 20
or 21 when they come to a uni-
versity and are considered re-
sponsible enought to be on their
own.

"Living in the city is good
experience for any student. Just
to sit in a cafe or a park and
watch the people is fascinat-
ing," she said.

As for travelling through the
country, Miss Thimester ad-
vised, "Most people in France
travel on the train. Ride first
class and you see American
tourists. But go third-class and
youll meet the ordinary
Frenchmen."

Miss Thimester stressed the
importance of any student's tak-
ing advantage of a foreign cul-
ture to which he is exposed. Us-
ing her own year of study at
Victoria College in London as
an example, she said, "I lived
with an English family and was
responsible for getting the chil-
dren to school and also baby-
sat with them sometimes.

"I did this in order to learn
English more quickly from
speaking with the children. I
knew they would not be too po-
lite to correct me, and they

Miss Thimester said that her

She insists, however, that her
willingness to keep trying and
to be receptive was the big-

She urged that all students in

Outsider Looks At
Apartment Policy

RIVALING THE FEATS OF RO-
BIN HOOD ARE THESE ar-
chers, out for AA's open ar-

Bill Ewald is a graduate stu-
dent at Emory University who
would like to see the apart-
ment policy at Agnes Scott
changed. This may not make
him unique, but he has imple-
mented his ideas by research.

He questions the validity of
the present policy, not on
grounds of morality or prac-
ticality, but on what he con-
siders its lack of logic.

From research he has made
on the apartment policy, he has
found that it was instituted a-
bout seven years ago when se-
veral unmarried Scott stu-
dents became pregnant. Ac-
cording to his sources, several
unmarried Scotties have be-
come pregnant since.

He feels that "Agnes Scott
should either: change the rule,
or change other situations so
that they are in accord with the
rule."

There are five reasons why he
feels the policy should be chang-
ed.

MamasAnd ACF A ^ard
Papas Give
Concert

Popular recording and tele-
vision stars, The Mamas and
the Papas, will present their
first Atlanta concert Sunday
afternoon, October 23 at 3 p.m.
These four brilliant (if unlikely)
artists are 1 The most inventive
pop musical group around, the
first really new vocal sound
since the Beatles." Life Ma-
gazine.

The Mamas and the Papas are
a "s^roup" (in fact, here are
those who think Cass Elliott-
one of the Mamas - is a group
all by herself) who live in a
nutty world of semi-existentia-
lism of cuckoo clocks and anti-
que lampshades, and of beat-
up old cars and Indian boats.

These four (who, incidentally,
arc not mamas and papas) come
in all shapes and sizes. Their
names are John Phillips, Mic-
helle Phillips. Cass Elliott and
Denny Doherty, and in eleven
months they've gone from the
poorest of the poor to being
really wealthy. They've come
from four different directions
and from singing v- roups of
varying degrees of mediocrity
to a solid unit comprising The
Mamas and the Papas, consi-
dered by some the hottest vo-
cal roup now on the scene.

1966 SILHOUETTE has been
named All-American by the As-
sociated Collegiate Press. It
was edited by Bev Allen and
Pam Burney.

This is the highest category of
awards given by the ACP.The
lowest possible rating for an
All-American award is 6900;
the SILHOUETTE'S rating is
7500.

A num ber of copies of the book
will be sent to ACP for use in
its loanservice and for travel-
ing exhibits.

According to Frances Wads-
worth, editor of the 1967 SIL-
HOUETTE, the annual got an
All-American rating once be-
fore in 1959. All the other at-
ing have been first and second
class, with one third class.

Judges of the books liked es-
pecially the faculty section, fea-
turing pictures of the faculty at
home and at work with students.

The introductory section was
also cited as well done; the
theme was thought well-carried
out.

They found "especially im-
pressive" the fact that all de-
sign ideas, as well as the lay-
out and dummy itself, are en-
tirely the work of students.

Commenting on the book, the
judges wrote. "There is an ex-
cellent feelingone gets when he
reads this book. It is well-
edited and well-planned. . .You
ha\e a right to be proud of the
1^66 SILHOUETTE "

The following facts may prove
germane to the telephone-tele-
vision-steam pipe problem.
(A) TELEPHONES

(1) Last spring, after Rep.
Council passed the Resolution
Regarding Private Phones, ne-
gotiations with the phone com-
pany were begun immediately
for the installation of jacks in
every room. Even so, the final
plans were not approved by the
phone company until July 12.

(2) During the summer, 66
of the College's 90 existing
phone lines were disconnect-
ed. A phone company workman,
working on the installation of
the new phones, inadvertently
tied in these 66 inactive lines
with the new lines (since it is
impossible to distinguish the
apparatus of an inactive line
from that of a permanently dis-
continued one).

(3) While thus mistakenly
working with the permanent
phone installations, the phone
company made some con-
nections that weren't water-
proofed. Almost immediately
there was a heavy rain and
these lines were ruined.

(4) The damage was not dis-
covered until students returned
and tried to use the phones.

Thus, the fact that many
phones on the campus were not
working when school began was
due not to a broken cable but
to mistakes made by the phone
company during their installa-
tion of additional lines to ser-
vice all the rooms on the cam-
pus.

(B) TELEVISIONS

(1) T.V. sets cannot be in-
stalled before students arrive
on the campus because of the
number of extra workmen in
the dorms and a past history
of losses during this time.

(2) The T.V. sets were sc-
heduled to be moved in on Fri-
day, September 16, the day of
the arrival of the freshmen.
Unfortunately, however, all the
manpower had to be used in
making new arrangements for
the Tech-Scott picnic and dance
in the light of the unexpected
change in the weather.

(3) The sets were moved in
on the next working day after
the picnic, Monday, September
19.

(C) STEAM PIPES

(1) Last spring a leak be-
gan m a steam pipe near the
dinine hall (the stranee hissine

noise heard in the area and
the magnolia tree-blight at that
time are traceable to this).

(2) That this leak was deter-
iorating the pipe was discover-
ed near the end of the summer
when the pipe broke.
MISCELLANEOUS:

(1) During the summer there
was an 81 - day carpenters'
strike in Atlanta, causing a
drain on all types of skilled
labor in the city.

(2) The entire northeast sec-
tion of the campus was without
electricity for five weeks dur-
ing the summer after lightning
damaged the primary service
in tht area.

(3) It was not known until
July that the McCain house
was going to have to be re-
nova ted for student occupancy.

First, if the rule were made
to prevent pregnancies, and
pregnancies have occurred
since the rule, some girls, at
any rate, are not influenced by
the rule. Therefore, it is in-
effectual.

His main objection to the rule
is that it ' 'takes away the re-
sponsibility of the student to act
in the manner she considers
right or wrong. People go to
school not only to improve their
m i nds , but also to educate them-
selves in the social sense." He
believes that graduates are
lacking something when they get
into the cold cruel world.

His third objection to the po-
licy is that as it stands, it can
be gotten around. "Nothing
is said in the rule about girls'
or married couples' apart-
ments-" not to mention the fact
that the same thing that could
go on in apartments could go
on in the back seats of cars. }

Next, when girls leave Agnes %
Scott for weekends, there are no 5
regulations concerning apart-
j ments. "It would seem that
Agnes 'Scotr ig more interested - t
in its prestige thfcrrin the wel-
fare of its students, or merely
a'raid of adverse publicity in
Atlanta.

The policy is not listed in the
catalogue, and there is uncer-
tainty in Bill's mind as to
whether students know about the
policy before they sign the ho-
nor pledge.

He does not recommend that
students protest the policy by
breaking it, since such action
would be a violation of the ho-
nor code. He would, however,
like to seethe ambiguities taken
out, or the rule made more lo-
gical.

Deadlines Earlier
For Grad School

Now is the time for all sen-
ior who are planning to go to
graduate school next fall to get
busy. Application deadlines are
even earlier this year, accord-
ing to C. Benton Kline, Dean
of the Faculty. Interested sen-
iors should check these dead-
lines right away.

Mr. Kline named three things
that students should do in re-
lation to pians for graduate
school:

1) Consult college cata-
logues, a large number
of which are in Dean
Kline's office. The outer
office, where the catalo-
gues are shelved, is left
open on week nights for
the convenience of stu-
dents who wish to consult
them,, These catalogues
may be checked out
for two days, or students
may use them at Julia
Gary's desk.

2) Be familiar with file in
Ann Stapleton's: office
concerning information
about fellowships and as-
sistantships.

3) Be aware of three books
that may be very help-
ful. Copies of A Guide
ttl Graduate Study, An.
Assessment of Quality in
Graduate Education., and
Fellowships in the. Axis
and Sciences are avail-
able in Dean Kline's of-
fice. Copies of the second
book may be obtained
from department chair-
men -also.

Graduate record examination
applications are also available
in Miss Stapleton's office.

Seniors should talk to Mr.

particular areas of study, de-
partment chairmen should be
consulted.

Mr. Kline, stressing the im-
portance of getting busy now,
added, "In the past, we have had
people who did not check dead-
lines and waited too late. When
that happens, there is not much
that we can do about it."

Atlanta Newspaper Editor
Patterson To Talk Thursday

by Susan Aikman

Agnes Scott is being very fair
to all political viewpoints in its
presentation of lectures fall
quarter. James Mackay and Ben
Blackburn, candidates for Con-
gress, debated each other on
campus Sunday, October 16.
Later this week M. Stanton
Evans presented the conserva-
tive newspaperman's viewpoint.

On October 27 at 8:15 p.m.
Eugene Patterson, editor of the
Atl anta Constitution, will give
the liberal journalists' view
on 'The Way Ahead."

Mackay, Blackburn Debate
Federal Spending, Programs

Intercollegiate, meeting on
the Scott campus last Sunday,
featured a debate between can-
didates for Georgia's Fourth
Congressional District, Demo-
cratic incumbent James Mackay
and Republican Ben Blackburn.

In his remarks, Mackay re-
viewed the progress in this
country since he was in col-
lege, Especially since he has
been in politics (six terms in
the Georgia general assembly
and one term in the House).
He remarked that his college
generation was knocked out of
pacifism by the rise of Hitler
and the demands of World War
II.

He spoke of the state's long-
time discrimination againstthe
Atlanta area. Mackay worked
in the assembly for the repeal
of the county unit system.

He expressedhis wish to re-
turn to Washington to continue
his work on the current pro-
grams that mean progress to-
day. Noting his opponent's op-
inion that the United States is
now in the worst state it has
ever known, he expressed the
opposite view and his desire to
use his seniority in the 90th
Congress to further the good
conditions in the country.

Blackburn began by attack-
ing the increased federal spend-
ing since Eisenhower went out
of office, the time of the last
balanced budget. He complained

that more and more money is
being taken by the federal go-
vernment and that a tax raise
will be necessary.

He stated that while he may
' agree with Mr. Mackay in the
principles of method but has a
different idea about the admi-
nistration" of programs. He
pointed out the serious problem
of U.S. gold reserves; if pay-
ments were all demanded, they
could not be met today.

He attacked President John-
son and Mackay by name for the
greater expenditures.

In his rebuttal period, Mac-
kay noted that the national debt
is so large today because the
economy has expanded so since
Eisenhower's administration.
He agreed that a tax increase
will probably be necessary but
confessed that no member of the
89th Congress had the strength
to propose one just before
elections.

He stated that fiscaland mili-
tary policy is not turned over
to freshmen congressmen. He

er with the 10th Armored di-
vision during World War II com-
bat in Europe, he won the Silver
Star for gallantry in action and
the Bronze Star with Oak Leaf
Cluster for heroic achievement.
Thereafter he took flight train-
ing and won his wings as an
Army pilot.- He left the service
with rank of captain.

Patterson is a board member

mittee. on Space, and was 1965-

Blackfriars
Announces

Fall Cast

by Sandra Early

Blackfriars is proud to an-
nounce the cast list for its fall
production, "Glass Menagerie"
by Tennessee Williams.

Tryouts were held Tuesday,
October 4, with call backs on
Saturday, October 8. An unus-
ually large number of people
tried out for the four roles
in the play; among the group
auditioning were six men from
Atlanta theaters.

Terry Kay, well known dra-
ma critic of the Atlanta Jour-
nal, will play Tom, the male
lead in this "memory play".
Playing opposite him will be
Cathi Ford in the role of Aman-
da, his mother. Paige Dotson
will play Laura, the retiring
crippled daughter and Bill
Poulus of Theatre Atlanta will
be her "Gentleman Caller",
Jim.

In speaking of working with
Mr. Kay and Mr. Poulus, Ca-

The Saga Saga

We would like to express our appreciation to Saga, Inc. for the
way the dining hall is being handled this year.

The food is good and well-prepared; there is variety.

The greatest improvement, however, is in the atmosphere and
attitude. Saga's ASC managers Bill Rodgers and Tom Allison
personally enliven meals. But more than that, they are always
open for suggestions and ready to try new things.

Lines were intolerably long, so they made some physical
changes and talked to the staff, and service improved. Day stu-
dents complained of high prices for complete meals, so an a la
carte system for the lower dining hall is being considered.
The Black Cat picnic was one of the best-organized and effi-
ciently administered picnic held on this campus.

In problems great and small, we find Saga more cooperative.
Thank you.

Lock And Key

The year has begun with an outbreak of stealing. Large sums
of money as well as such items as cigarettes have been taken
from certain dorms and cottages.

Naturally we are opposed to stealing, by students or outsi-
ders. It is not a new problem. Last year the trouble led to several
dorm searches. Frequently the dishonesty has been traced to
off-campus sources. This may be encouraging to those concerned
with the integrity of the students and the success of the Agnes
Scott honor system, as we are, too, but that encouragement does
little to help the person who is missing $20 or even three packs
of cigarettes.

Perhaps it is time for House Council and Judicial to work to-
gether on consideration of obtaining locks for dorm rooms.
This would doubtless reduce stealing. It would also help the lack
of privacy problem so recently an issue on campus.

The installaton of private phenes in many rooms adds another
dimension to the situation. While the owner is away, anyone
can use the phone and run up quite a bill. It has happened here
before. Closet keys are available, but it is not always not con-
venient or even possible to lock the phone in the closet.

We hate to see the atmosphere of complete trust on this cam-
pus threatened. But someone is abusing that trust. It is time
to think about letting those who desire and some do most
vehemently lock their rooms.

Mackay, BlackburnDebate

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
recounted his work in the sub-
committee Public Health and
Welfare, for the national traf-
fic safety bill which received
bipartisan support in both
houses. Mackay believes high-
way accidents are the major
direct threat to the health and
welfare of the individual.

He asked to be returned to
Congress, as a worker and not
a complainer.

Blackburn began his rebuttal
complaining that Mackay had not
responded directly to his points
of debate, to which Mackay
responded directly that he had
not found them clear.

The rest of the rebuttal was
a further attack on federal
spending.

The first question let Black-
burn continue in this vein.
He was asked his view of the
individual's place in the pre-
sentsociety--does he get no be-
nefit from the money he pays
in taxes? Blackburn answered
that as the government takes
more money, he has less to
spend as he wants.

Next Mackay was asked a
question dealing with the pos-
sibility of decreasing arma-
ment, particularly in the face
oi the Viet Nam situation. He
pointed out the three choices
open to the United States in
Sou tl iea. st Asia: 1) Withdraw
completely into unilateral iso-
lation, 2) Garrison all of Sou-
theast Asia with military for-
ces, \) Create a strong hlock
of free nations who can sup-
|>ort themselves. The third is
the choice the count ry has made
and it is difficult to carry it out
and reduce spending for arms.

Blackburn was asked if he
could present some of his con-
structive ideas, as opposed to
the negative attacks ho had been
making. lie asked if those pre-

sent were familiar with the
Headstart program, which he
feels is t[ie only part of the war
on poverty that is worthwhile.
He noted that it was suggested
by Republicans.

He also explained the Repub-
lican alternative to the Job
Corps, whicli costs $13,000 per
trainee and whose success has
been limited. Hefavoreda pro-
gram to encourage private in-
dustry to instigate trainingpro-
grams.

The final question was direct-
ed to Mackay on his support of
Democratic nominee for go-
vernor Lester Maddox. He stat-
ed that when he qualified for the
primary on the Democratic tic-
ket, he signed a pledge, "not
under oath or in blood" to sup-
port that ticket. He still holds
to that pledge, although he made
it clear that he is running
for federal, not state office.

He pointed out that Maddox
may change when he is actually
in that office, that he may take
a different view of society from
the capitol. "Both Lester and Bo
are trying to sound like liberals
now," he said.

In a small group after the
formalities ended, Mackay said
that one man cannot control the
state that much. Having served
under several governors, feels
tli at the general assembly is
not to be dominated by Maddox.
He pointed out with hope that
the Fourth District went hea-
vily for moderates A rnall, Car-
ter, and Smith.

1-inally, he said, "I'm runn-
ing against a faction, not a man
. . .I'm more idealistic than
most people about this country
because I'm a first generation
American. It has always been
drilled into me that we're lucky

Skillful Cameo Appearances
Spice Up Black Cat Skit

by Poppy Wilson

The entire Black Cat organi-
zation, impervious to fatigue,
homework and even the Pla-
gue Week, has done it again.
After the production was over
at least one senior opened "that
it w as the best one that she
had seen."

An alumna here especially
for the program concurred,
"Although it was hard for her
to admit it," (she having been
in the previous year's Black
Cat). It is possible that such
accolade is heard every year,
but it is equally possible that
it is true every year.

Although the cast was sizable
enough to have presented a con-
siderable obstacle to the Gol-
den Horde, the show did not de-
pend on quantity alone for its
appeal, but on several skillfully
cast cameo appearances. Who
shall be able to forget such

MOCKINGS
FROM
RAMON A

Dear Mom,

I am happy to say that 1
managed to escape the Plague
last week. Five of us went
to the Prayer Room and stay-
ed all week. We amused our-
selves by telling stories.

Although I wasn't sick, it
will take me at least a week
to catch up after the excite-
ment of Black Cat. Everyone
says that the whole thing was
the wildest ever. I thought it
was great, riot and all.

And it was so thrilling to be
part of the production. Of
course, 1 didn't exactly get on
stage like those glory see-
kers Dr. Alston and Mr. Brown
I played the People's Choice
from behind the curtain. I al-
most missed my line, since I
was swooning over John. He
was really great.

The cats were good, too, I
hope I can be one next year.
I understand now why I wasn't
picked from freshman talent,
not only because I'm a sopho-
more. Paige really is terrific.
Not only can she sing, but she
wrote the song herself.

It was good to have such a
lively audience, of friends and
faculty. I was glad to meet
some of the parents, especial-
ly Dr. and Mrs. Stubbs and Mr.
and Mrs. Roberts, parents of
two of my favorite seniors. They
are such a dear group.

I went to the dance with
George Maddox, of course. It
was great fun. During the three
hour break that followed 15 mi-
nutes of groovy sound, he was
showing me a tricky little dance
step he made up himself. Itwas
just a bit too tricky, though.
On the third turn, he knocked
a coke off the table. Something
was fishy and suspishy. A
strange odor arose from the
floor not coke and floor wax,
not coke and coke. That did put
a bit of a damper on things.
Mostly the half of George's clo-
thes that weresoaked. His plaid,
bell-bottomed Mod pants got
most of the coke, actually.

It was a blast, though. We had
time for a pizza later. I brought
a piece back for Patrice Craig.

which while they have enrich-
ed the skit, have also made
much obscure to the freshman
who we should remember is on-
ly in the neophyte stage of Scott
-conciousness. We were glad
however that Manuel's was in-
cluded in the Black Cat script,
since much to our dismay, it
has been excluded from what is
termed the Decatur Area.

Yes, Virginia, you can get
a boy to be in Black Cat. We
found John Lee quite engaging,
and what is more, quite believ-
able as an Agnes Scott fresh-
man, and think it would be a
good thing to keep him on.
When he began to elaborate
the results of his hall discus-
sion on urbanization, he made
it evident that he could cer-
tainly be as responsible a mem-
ber of the campus community
as many of us are (who often
miss hall discussions).

Technically and mechanical-
ly, the production showed a good
amount of polish and show-
manship. It wasn't easy (as
Alice Harrison knows) to whip
half the campus into shape
and direct all its energies to-
ward a concerted project, but
we are witness to the fact

that it was possible. One mere-
ly deplores the truth that so
much talent and time go into
a production that can be* pre-
sented but once.

PAGE 3 OCTOBER 20, 1966 A THE PROFILE

LSD Trip Can Be

Very Terrifying

Editor's note: The following
article is reprinted from the
Colorado Daily.

The psychological effects and
legal restrictions of hallucina-
tory drugs were discussed Sun-
day night by c. psychologist and
an attorney.

In an all - encompassing
report sponsored by the Hillel
House, marijuana, Lysergic
Acid (LSD), and narcotics were
discussed from the human in-
take stage to prison sentences.

"A person on a trip can
feel that he is merely a part
of the chair on which he is sit-
ting; he can also visualize that
the room he's in is of lattice,
or has grotesque growths com-
ing out of the walls," John
Hannum, a Denver psycholo-
gist said. 'These visual effects
can be very beautiful or very
terrifying.'

Experiences are heightened
under the influence of LSD, Sen-
sually, the body could feel
weightless, and ' a man could
jump out of a window because
he thought he could fly.'

Real Self

According to Dr. Hannum,
the spirit sometimes tends to
leave the body and the two be-
come separated. The person
experiencing this usually feels
that the spirit which is out of
him is his real self.

People who have taken LSD
were given psychological tests,
however with some difficulty,
elaborated Hannum. "They
would rather see their visions."
The tests given were simple: a
response to the folk saying "All
that glitters is not gold" and
"What would you do if you were
the first to see a fire in a
crowded theatre building?"
They revealed that the general
intelligence of the "victim"
is impaired.

"LSD," said Michael Can-
ges, Denver attorney, "is un-
classified as a narcotic, and
possession of such is not illegal
statewise. But, if you have LSD
in your possession, you are vio-
lating a federal law banning all
and any import whatsoever."
All rights to the production of
LSD have bee n turned over to
the federal government by the
National Institute of Health and
a ban placed on lysurgic acid.

Rehabilitation

The Denver attorney said that
there are no suitable facilities
for the rehabilitation of addicts
that get arrested on the street.

The character mentioned
above may not be totally cur-
ed, as far as LSD is actually
concerned. It is non-habit
forming, but the most potent
hallucenogen. The general ef-
fects of this drug affect the
mind more than any other part
of the body. The physical ef-
fects are minimal, producing
only transient nausea and weak-
ness of the body.

"LSD produces undulatory
visual phenomena, violent mood
changes such as exhaltation, ex-
treme depression or flatness,
hallucinations, intensity of the
senses, effects on the ego, and
loss of identity," explained
Dr. Hannum, "but it really
depends upon the setting in when
the drug is consumed, the state
of mind of the individual, etc.

"If taken under controlled
circumstances, the effects are
less apt to be bizarre, but if
taken where the person feels
alone and his feelings are dis-
turbed, he is apt to be danger-
ous to others as well as to
himself."

Dr. Hannum compared LSD
with the hallucenogen mari-
juana, in it effects on the hu-
man body and mind. Marijuana
causes irrelevant hilarity, de-
light, the extremities become
chilly and there is a transfer
of ideas. LSD has a vague co-
herency, vagueness of the ex-
tremities, the eyes see the in-
finite and colors contain music.
There is an insight into the
communion with the infinite,
but no ecstatic feeling.

Medically, LSD is used in the
treatment of alcoholics, among
other things, and is found to
have a recovery rate of 50 per
cent. It has also been tried in
some cases of schizophrenia 1 ,
but is not as applicable.

LSD and schizophrenia have
been linked together in several
ways. They are not totally
alike, however, in that LSD af-
fects the visual tracts, causing
hallucination, and schizophren-
ia is mainly auditory, a mental
disruption more complete and
lasting that is the effect of
LSD. LSD can, however, cause
schizophrenia and some brain
damage, but not as much as al-
coholism.

Students Report

Tennis Club

Activities
Underway

Fall may be hockey season to
many students. But to one group,
autumn means tennis whites
rather than colored pennies.
These girls are the members
of the tennis club.

Activities for this year are
already well underway. Two
weeks ago, six new members
were admitted to the club. The
lone upperclassman is Mary
Lockhart, a junior transfer
from Vanderbilt. The freshman
class claims the other five: Eli-
zabeth Crum, Camille Johnson,
Janet Pholf, Pinky Ottley, and
Kathy Read.

Ellen Richter, Athletic Asso-
ciation tennis manager, has ar-
ranged a preliminary tennis
team from among the members
of the club. At present, the
team consists of ten players
in a ladder seeding.

Any member of the club can
challenge the tenth person and
if the challenger wins, she
assumes the tenth position. In
a similar manner, players move
up or down within the ladder.

The purpose of organizing
the tennis team is to give play-
ers an opportunity to develop
their competitive skills for
playing here at Scott and in in-
tercollegiate matches. -

Hockey Season Opens,
Impossible Happens

Headstart Program
Worthwhile, Helpful

Operation Headstart, started
by the Economic Opportunities
Act. has won the hearts of se-
veral Scott students who have
worked with the proeram. Two
of these students are Linda
Richter and Betsy Miller, who
, though they both worked with
Headstart, had vastly differing
experiences.

Linda was an assistant tea-
cher in a class of 18 Negro
children at the Hardnett Ele-
mentary School in Southwest
Atlanta, The school, a Negro
school, is in the center of a
middle class white neighbor-
hood.

The class had a Negro lead
teacher, a Negro college aide,
and two white volunteers. The
teachers and aides were all
young people except for one of
the volunteers, who was a
grandmother.

According to Linda the pur-
pose of the program is to "give
the child from an underdevelop-
ed environment a taste of school
that would be a pleasurable
one." The emphases in the pro-
gram for the pre-school age
children were on basic con-
cepts, such as family roles.

They put added emphasis on
music appreciation and art.
Linda says that most of the
children had never heard any
music except the rock'n roll
radio stations to which their
families listened. They taught
the children such songs as
' "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and
also taught them to distinguish
certain rhytmns.

In the neighborhood where
this school is located, the fami-
ly situation of the children us-
ually consisted of a mother,
brothers and sisters and some
man living with the family.
Nearly everyone in the neigh-
borhood is related in some way
or other so the children had
had sncipl relationships with
others prior to attending the
Headstart program.

Linda feels that the Head-
start program is definitely

worthwhile. The lead teacher
of the program is the kinder-
garten teacher at Hardnett and
told Linda that she can really
see progress with the children
who were in the program and
that they can deal with more
advanced concepts mw.

Betsy Miller is also firmly
convinced that Operation Head-
start is worthwhile and "es-
pecially in the areas of Ap-
palachia" where she worked.
In her county in Tennessee
the program was . centered at
four different schools: Betsy
was an aide in a program at a
city school.

Here 40 pupils were divided
into two classes which each
had -two helpers and two tea-
chers. An art and music tea-
cher came one day a week to
each room. In Betsy's class
of 20, there were 18 white
children and two Negroes. The
proportion was different out
in the county, according to
Betsy, because the children
have to meet certain qualifica-
tions of financial disability to
be admitted to the program.

The class took four trips.
One was a train ride to the zoo
which was 60 miles away. An-
other trip was a tour of the
town, including bank, drug
store, barber shop, and air-
port. An excursion to a large
farm was another source of the
information forthe childrenwho
got to see real farm animals.
The fourth trip was one to the
County Health Department to get
pre - school examinations and
shots.

Both Linda and Betsy feel,
that the Headstart program is
a great help to these children
in preparing them for their
school years.

Young Gives Many Reasons
For Value Of Study Abroad

ould You Believe?

Riots Sweep Campus
Police Intervene

by" Carol Young

In describing the experience
of spending her junior year in
France, Ueirdre pointed oit
very well the benefits of living
within a foreign culture, in-
creasing one's sense of 'world
citizenship.' The importance of
becoming aware of various
values and developing an ability
to accept and adjust to different
cultures is spmething I very
much agree with. An opportuni-
ty to spend a period of time
studying abroad makes possible
a natural entry into another cul-
ture.

As a university student, one
may be more fully integrated
into the life of another country.
This involvement seems neces-
sarily valuable, for it allows
confrontation of a completely
new situation and widen the
range of experience and aware-
ness that contributes to per-
sonal growth.

Retrospect

In retrospect one can try to
gather all the experience of the
year into a broad, general state-
ment of its value and the advan-
tages of submerging himself
into a different culture. How-
ever, beneath a general affir-
mation of its value, disconnect-
ed experiences come to mind,
impressions not completely as-
similated not lending them-
selves to expression within a
statement of the year's signi-
ficance: the breath-taking beau-
ty of the countryside, cups of
tea with Scottish friends, a
visit with a farmer whose broad
Scots dialect I could not always
understand, an invitation to a
Bobby Burns Society's dinner
complete with recited poetry,
and haggis brought in by a
kilted bagpiper...

Perhaps the most meaningful
aspect of my year in Scotland
was coming to feel I was a part
of things there, entering into the
life in a way that a more tem-
porary visitor can not. This is
not always immediately pos-
sible. In some cases there was
much initial reserve, close
scrutiny as people tested their
preconceptions of Americans
against me.

Landlady

My landlady at first told the
lodgings officers that she just
couldn't ha\c a 'sophisticated
American', who would pro-
bably be ruining her, living in
her home before she agreed that
she would 'look me over.' There
was warm friendliness from the
beginning with some, likea gen-
tleman who was thrilled to meet
an American, feeling we might
practically have a mutual friend
m a relative of his who had
moved to Michigan.

During the year there were
continually new experiences,
various attitudes and traditions
to become aware of, hut a-t the
same time there was a genuine
feeling of belonging and being
accepted there. There were
quite a number of overseas stu-
dents at the University so 1 re-
tained a nice sort of anonymity,
rarely being singled out as an
American student, Nit feeling
a part of the indent population.
Hem ever, there was no restric-
tion to contact with only pro-
vided an interesting insight in-
to life there. There was a chance
to form personal relationships
and participate in things there,
the gradual elimination of gen-
eralized preconceptions of each
other.

This absence of a campu<
centered life did not exclude
nnoUement with many stu-

dents. There was a definite
cohesiveness and various acti-
vities and interests that united
students, but also a feeling of
wider involvement by living with
a family away from theUniver-
sity and coming to know other
people, distinctly separate from
the students.

The wisdom of spending a
year abroad during the course
of undergraudate study is often
questioned. There are practical
disadvantages in transferring
courses, but the opportunity to
be involved in student life there
and to experience the differen-
ces in the approach to educa-
tion as well as more total in-
volvement in the life of a foreign
country seems very valuable.
Increased freedom within the
educational system requires
more personal responsibility
and there may be some diffi-
culty in changing from one sys-
tem to another, however it
seems a mistake to allow prac-
tical considerations or over-
catuiousncss to prevent an
awareness of the unique value
of such an experience.

It seems difficult to point
out specifically what made my
year in Scotland seem valuable.
It is made up of many things
hard to organize into a con-

mood in front of a

cise statement, but the memory
of various events meaningful
to me personally, theformation
of personal relationships, the
awareness of different attitudes
and ways of life all seem impor-
tant in my feeling that it was
an irreplaceable experience.

time was 9:00 o'clock
p.m., Thursday, October 13.
Those of the campus "lacking
in men" were on route to a ga-
thering at which they were to
release their tensions (which
were caused, no doubt, by the
absence of the opposite sex).

Alas! Faces were downcast,
feet were dragging. But lo!
Fate was destined to inter-
vene for these unhappy mor-
tals. Yonder there in the as-
phalt field were many males
(dancing a come hither dance).
But alack, these provocate e
beings were merely attempt-

They were assisted by a hu-

Success is a heady liquor
(KA's should know), however,
and, in the midst of the joyous
celebration which followed the
victory, the captives stole away.
Frenzy ensued. It was neces-
sary to remove the vehicle of
escape from the campus to avoid
having it demolished by those
scorned women.

Self-Defense

Queens
Pickets

Queens College in Charlotte,
North Carolina, was the scene
of picket lines and anti-picket
lines last week.

Local V22 of the International
Alliance of Theatrical and Stage
Employees were sent to unload
lIr- costumes and scenery [or
an evening performance of ihc
National Ballet*

The college, which uses its
regular employees for such
work, had not requested that
the workers be sent. When the
service of the union members
was refused, picketing began.

Early in the afternoon, a few
Queens students succeeded in
getting some costumes off the
union-controlled truck. Later,
a number of students formed
their own picket line to protest.

1 he ballet was performed on
a bare Stttge in rehearsal dress.

The Local president stated,
"We are professionals. The
only work we want at litis col-
lege is when a professional

crew." The ballet company
does have several union mem-

Last spring, Athletic Asso-
ciation sponsored a self - de-
fense program. Skills taught
were those any virtuous Scot-
tie should know for her many
dates or even for walking in
downtown Atlanta.

This year AA would again
like to sponsor a self-defense
course. However, according to
Elizabeth Cooper, project
chairman, before bringing to the
campus the program under con-
sideration, AA has to have an
estimate of the number of stu-
dents who would participate.
Consequently, next Wednesday,
October 26, questionnaires will
be handed out before convo-
cation and collected afterwards.

The program is one which a
number of colleges have had on
their campuses. The Agnes
Scott administration has re-
ceived letters of recommenda-
tion from Roanoke College,
Mary Baldwin, and Sweet Briar.

According to Mr. Fred Sto-
raska of Raleigh, North Caro-
lina, who presents the course,
the . . .program is one of
prevention of assaults with
a theme ol" non-violence." He
feels that judo and karate are in-
valid for girls in general as a
self-defense measure, since
his course is limited to three
consecutive lectures. Instead he
stresses prevention of assualt
situations. However, he does
teach certain defensive mea-
sures, such as utilization of
pressure points, which a girl
may use when under attaek.

His intial lecture is usually
45-61) minutes in length and is
voluntary. The follow - up pro-
gram consists of two two-hour
lectures, one each on consecu-
tive days following his intial
talk.

The cost of this program will
depend upon the resonseof Scott
students. The larger the turn
out the less each participant
will have to pay. At present,
Mr. Storaska may require a
minimum of HX) girls paying

$5 each in order to have the
follow-up program. But it is
highly possible that he will
charge a lower rate due to the
small enrollment of ASC.

The administration and stu-
dent government have endorsed
the course, but the support of
the student body will be re-
quired to bring the program to
the campus.

Write-in Arnall Campaign
Hopes To Upset Election

A JAZZ MASS SUCH AS THE ONE PICTURED WILL BE GIVEN
Sunday night at All Saints' Episcopal Church.

Eugene Patterson
To Speak Tonight

Eugene Patterson, contro-
versial editor of The Atlanta
Constitution, will speak tonight
in Maclean on "The Way Ahead"
for liberalism. The 8:15 lecture
will conclude a two part series
begun last week by M. Stanton
Evans who spoke on "The Fu-
ture of Conservatism."

A graduate of the Henry Grady
School of Journalism at theUni-
versity of Georgia, Patterson
was named editor oftheConsti-
tution in 1960 when Ralph Mc-

Gill was promoted to publisher.
He previously was executive
editor of Atlanta Newspapers,
Inc.

In 1964 he was made Vice
Chairman of the U.S. Civil
Rights Commission by appoint-
ment of President Johnson and
confirmation by the U.S. Senate.
He writes a daily column on the
editorial page of the Constitu-
tion and also takes time for na-
tional reporting.

The Write-in Georgia cam-
paign has hit the Agnes Scott
campus with full force. Pins
reading "Write - In Arnall'
are being seen on more stu-
dents, faculty members, and
camjius workers everyday.

In a meeting in the Hub
on Monday, October 24, Ric-
hard Croker of Georgia State
College, president of the
Young Democrats of Georgia,
presented some of the facts
and background of this cam-
paign.

In talking about the cam-
paign, he assumed that most
people already realized the
reasons for not voting for
Lester Maddox. Croker,
therefore, addressed most of
his points to facts about Ho-
ward "Bo" Callaway.

He spoke primarily of Call-
away's negative two years in
the United States House of
Representatives where he has
voted against such things as
federal aid to education and
the minimum wage law.

Croker also explained the
present correct procedure to
write-in a candidate in this
state. The name of the can-
didate must be correctly
spelled and his lffice lisited.
Those wishing to vote for
Arnall would write "Ellis Ar-
nall for Governor."

Council On Education
Holds Annual Meeting

Conference Calls For
Further Research

At the present time a suit
is being considered the
American Civil Liberties Un-
ion to permit people to use
stickers bearing Arnall's
name rather than writing it in.
This is because it is highly
inconsistent in a state in which
no literacy test is required to
register that one would have
be a perfect speller and le-
gible writer to cast a vote
for a write-in candidate. If
the suit is passed, literature
will be distributed explaining
the use of the stickers.

Edward and Alex Nunan, who
are working in DeKalb County
for the write-in, along with
Croker explained to Agnes
Scott personnel the mathe-
matical reasons that the
write-in campaign is feasible.

In 1964 there was a record
turnout of voters in this state.
There were 1,050,000 votes
cast in the presidential elec-
tion.

In the September 28 runoff
this year Maddox received
455,000 votes and Arnall 375,
000. At the same time mo-
derate George T. Smith beat
Peter Zack Geern, "Georgia's
Young Mr. Conservative." by
460,000 votes to 370,000.

The write-in people contend
therefore that the 75,000-80,
000 vote difference in the gu-
bernatorial race can be at-
tributed to Callaway suppor-
ters who voted for Maddox.
Since there was no need for
them to Sabotage" the lieu-

tenant governor's race.
Therefore it can be safely
assumed that the 75,000-80,
000 votes will not go to Mad-
dox in the geieral election.
This puts Maddox on a par
with Arnall.

There are only 275,000
registered Republicans in this
state. This is only about one-
fifth of the 1,800,000 regis-
tered voters in Georgia.

Assuming that there will be
another record turnout, about
70 per cent of the Republi-
can vote will go to Callaway.
This is approximately 192,
000. Add to that the Democra-
tic switch-over vote and the
projected total number of
votes Callaway will get is
272,000.

The entire basis for the
write-in according to E dward
Nunan is that the "mo-
derates are being blackmailed
into voting for Callaway."
People hate the idea of hav-
ing to vote for him. There
are many people in this state
who are die-hard Democrats
and are going to remain so no
matter what. Now these peo-
ple have a third choice.

There are 275,000 regis-
tered Negro voters in Geor-
gia, 150,000 of whom did not
vote in the run-off. It can be
safely assumed that the 125,
000 who did vote voted for
Ellis Arnall. Before the write-
in campaign was ever organiz-
ed, their leaders to.'d them to
"go fishing" on election day.

Alston
Attends
Conclave

American Council on Educa-
tion had its 49th annual meeting
last week, October 12-14 inNew
Orleans, Louisiana. The pro-
gram was "Improving College
Teaching: Aids and Impedi-
ments," Wallace M. Alston,
President of Agnes Scott Col-
lege, represented our institu-
tion at this meeting. While he
was there, he also attended an
executive committee meeting of
the Southern University Confer-
ence.

American Council on Educa-
tion, founded in 1918, is made
up of national and regional edu-
cation associations and institu-
tions of higher learning, co-
operating for the improvement
of education at all levels. "It
reflects the particular genuis
of the American Educational
System a system without na-
tional control, comprising a
large number of autonomous
units working together for the
establishment and improvement
of educational standards, poli-
cies, and procedures."

The Council is the most "in-
clusive" of all such organiza-
tions according to Dr. Alston.
It includes 184 national and
regional associations, 1,203 in-
stitutions of higher learning,
and 50 affiliated institutions.

NEW ORLEANS, LA. (CPS)
Despite general agreement
that overemphasis on research
has led to a neglect of under-
graduate teaching, participants
at the American Council on Edu-
cation conference here Oct. 12-
14 achieved little consensus on
specific measures to solve the
problem and called for fur-
ther research into evaluating
teacher effectiveness.

Meeting to discuss "impe-
diments" to good college teach-
ing, over 1400 college admin-
istrators examined various
ways to improve instruction
and agreed that students should
play a role in evaluating the
quality of teaching. There was
but one student scheduled on
the program, however, to dis-
cuss their suggestions.

The ACE, which includes al-
most all colleges and universi-
ties in the country, also heard
conflicting views on the pur-
poses of college teaching and
numerous suggestions that edu-
cational goals be defined teach-
ing can be evaluated meaning-
fully.

Commissioner of Education
Harold Howe, for example, told
the ACE that "if teaching to-
day suffers by comparison with

research, it is because col-
leges and universities have suc-
cumbed to external influences
and relegated teaching to an
inferior position."

Similarly, President John E 0
King of the University of Wy-
oming complained that "so
many of the able young people
emerging from these great
graduate schools obviously have
become 'indoctinated with the idea
that undergraduate teaching
isn't as important or as re-
warding as graduate teaching
or research."

But it was a University of
Texas Classics professor, Wil-
liam Arrowsmith, who astound-
ed the group by proclaiming that
"as presently constituted, the
colleges and universities are
as uncongenial to teaching as
the Mojave desert to a clutch
of Druid priests."

Arrowsmith also shocked the
group by calling for the com-
plete separation of teaching
from research, because "the
scholar has disowned the stu-
dent that is the student who
is not a potential scholar and
the student has reasonably re-
taliated by abandoning the
scholar."

THE PROFILE

TJlie words of tkeit Souls were
ike Syllables of popular Songs

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are
those of the majority of the editorial staff. They do not necessari-
ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body.

Credit To C.A.

Zollie Zollicoffer, chairman of Chris-
tian Association's discussion committee,
deserves a lot credit for the cabin dis-
cussions, "Quest for Identity."

The discussions were "Suicide" led by
Lee Copple, "Homosexuality Miriam
Drucker and "Alocholism, ' ' Melvin Druc-
ker. They were interesting and thought-
provoking.

Those who attended gleaned interesting
facts about these three areas of psycho-
logy. All three discussion leaders were
will informed but open to the opinions of
those who entered into the discussions.

The PROFILE is looking forward to next
quarter's discussions on music, and we
hope that C.A. is not discouraged by the
sparse attendance at the previous dis-
cussions.

The entire campus cannot be excepted
to attend, but those who did had the bene-
fit of a seminar atmosphere so often lack-
ing in many classroom experiences at Agnes
Scott.

Where Was
Stanton?

There was a notable absence of a library
display on recent lecturer M. Stanton Evans.
We like United Nations Day, too, but we had
looked forward, as had many people, to
learning more about the speaker, throL jhthe
usual, and usually helpful, library publicity.
Lecture Committee has been urging just
such preparation, and we were foiled right
here at the beginning of the lecture season.

What the library's reasons were we do
not know. We understand that a display
on Evans' liberal counterpart, Eugene Pat-
terson, who speaks tonight, would have been
allowed, but in the interest of fair play,
there was none. We would like the li-
brary to define the reasons behind any dis-
play on a campus speaker. Is it to inform
the campus community or to editorialize for
the library?

This question of the library is bound up
doubly with the problem of attendance at the
lecture. First, if there had been more pub-
licity, there might have been better atten-
dance.

Secondly, both situations seem to arise
from the same basic que stion- -what does
liberalism mean? Reaction on this campus
to Evans was a complement to his narrow
definition of liberalism, but neither view is
one of true liberalism, the sort that drives
one to seek a "liberal" education, the
sort that every person at Agnes Scott should
possess.

Write In Arnal

In the October 13 issue of the PROFILE,
we condemned both candidates for governor
of Georgia- -Democrat Lester Maddox and
Republican Howard "Bo" Callaway.

Campaign developments of the last two
weeks have only re-enforced that opinion.
Maddox has made no substantial move for-
ward from his well-known pistol-packing
racism. Callaway, who looked at first like
the lesser of two evils, has shown himself
as the "Lester of two evils". He has em-
phasized his anticivil rights stand and
promised a fight against federal guideline c;
earlier this year he voted against minimum
wage increase and just recently interrupted
his campaign to fly to Washington to vote
against federal aid to educationthis from
a representative of one of the states poore st
in education. His entire record has been one
of just such negative and non-constructive
action; he is indeed a "buttoned down Lester
Maddox. "

Fortunately for those of us who, as we
have stated, "can, in good conscience, vote
for neither Maddox nor Callaway" there is
an out--the write-in campaign for Ellis
Arnall.

^ A spontaneous movement among moderate
citizens concerned about Georgia's future,
the project is gaining momentum and sup-
port. To this we added ours.

For most people who will write in the name
of former governor Arnall, it is a moral pro-
test; these concerned citizens will not com-
promise their principles by trying to discern
and support the lesser of the two evils.

The movement could have a more tangible
success, however. If no candidate receives
a majority in the general election, the choice
is made by the General Assembly. In sucha
case, the outcome might be the same but
the ultimate disaster will at least be put off
a while. Fu rthe rmore, whoever wins will not
have a broad-based mandate from the
people.

Arnall was not picked from the phone
book, as it were, as the object ofthewrite-
in protest. In the September run-off he re-
ceived 375,000 votes to Maddox's 445,000--
75,000 to 100,000 cast by Callaway suppor-
ters. Called by some historians 1 'Georgia' s

greatest governor," Arnall has the experi-
ence of progressive and responsible leader-
ship behind him and the enthusiasm for
progressive and responsible leader ship be-
for him.

The Arnall supporters are not a splinter
group working for the destruction of the
Democratic Party . The splintergroup-Mad-
dox supporters-are in control of that party.

Unlike the look-alike promises of Maddox
and Callaway, his platform is not one of
childish resistance to the national govern-
ment and bland generalities for the state, but
a program of specific proposals for Geor-
gia's benefit and a mature approach to the
"states' rights" que stion- -a re -as sumption
of state obligations raher than infantile com,
bativeness toward the national government.

The chief objection to the write-in at-
tempt is that it will "take votes away from
Callaway." Hardly. The potential Arnall
write-ins are not votes now in Callaway's
bag. Arnall votes will come from moderate
citizens who otherwise would not vote,
those not now supporting Callaway, those
who slogan is "Go Bo--and take Lester
with you."

The write-in movement is not setting
out to take away votes from anyone. It is
with a concentrated effect, for those mo-
derate voters who consider neither Mad-
dox nor Callaway a prize.

"A vote for Arnall is a vote for Mad-
dox," cry the objectors. Many of these
objectors said before the Democratic run-
off, "A vote for Maddox is a vote for
Callaway/' As it happened, a vote for
Maddox was a vote for Maddox and the
outcome was the present situation. In the
November general election, a write-in
vote for Arnall is a vote for Arnall. And
a vote for responsible, moderate, intel-
ligent leadership.

It might work. Arnall was beaten in
September not by Maddox alone but by the
combined strength of Maddox and Calla-
way, strength that will be split in the
election. And if all else fails, a Maddox
win over Callaway and Arnall is better,
morally at least, than a Maddox win over
Callaway alone.

MOCKINGS

FROM
RAMONA

Dear Mom,

Well, what I've been dreading
had finally happened George
Maddox met Cassandra and I'm
afraid he's lost to me. Actually,
it's a political coalition. They
are beginning a move to write
in Ho Chi Minn for governor of
Georgia.

I'm still tryingto swing them to
the write-in Arnall team. I've
been working hard for that.
Even though I'm not a Georgia
citizen, as you are probably
aware, I am very concerned
about the political situation
down here and want to do what
I think can help.

Some pol ; ticos I met in that
movement O ot me to go out to
Belvedere Saturday to hand out
stuff for Congressman Mackay.
That was fun.

This darling little girl came
up and asked me for a button.
Imagine my surprise to dis-
cover that it was Mary Martha
Kline. You will recall how much
I crave the entire Kline family.

I've been enjoying hockey
season. Of course, the seniors
are so short on players (al-
though those they have are ter-
rific) that I may have to play
for the dear sisters. As a
matter of fact, some people
thought I was playing for them
last week.

Everyone thinks Stubbs scor-
ed the only goal in last week's
game. Don't tell a soul, Mom,
but it was me. It bounced off
my stick and right in. Now they
are really out to recruit me.

Dek Your Dorm was great. I
understand that Rebekah won
largely through the efforts of
Lynne Wilkins and Alice Harri-
son, who decorated Barbara
Dowd's and Ellen Wood's room.
I believe it involved picking up
all their clothes. Maybe they
would like to try the lobby now.

You won't believe this, but my
room won the prize in our dorm.
Cassandra's talent pulled
through at last. Actually,
everyone else was sick with the
Plague and didn't feel like
cleaning up. Love>

Ramona,

Win

by Evelyn Angeletti

Last week's hockey games
found sister classes pitted
against each other. In the open-
er, the seniors crossed sticks
with the sophs and won the
closely fought contest 1-0.

The lone goal was made late in
the second half by Kathey
Stubbs. Neither team seemed
able to break away and domi-
nate the game - mainly due to
fine defensive performances on
both sides.

The junior- freshman game
was a penny of a different col-
or (ouch, sorry about that). The
juniors controlled the contest
with a relaxed, but decidedly r
aggressive, command.

Frosh goalie Ruthie Wheless
commented that "she was ner-
vous" when halfback Lucy Rose
drove for goals. Hard driving
and swift broken-field running
also served the freshmen as
Ann Marquess scored Chris
Robinson's only goal. The final
tally: juniors 5, freshmen 1.

Transfer Compares Scott
With Chath am Situation

Editor's note: This article was
written, at PROFILE request, by
Marty Groske, a transfer from
Chatham College.

O.K, You Asked for it.

Chatham is a liberal arts
college located on a spacious,
hilly campus in suburban Pitts-
burgh. There are approximate-
ly 600 students, and the stu-
dent: teacher ratio is seven
or eight to one. Classes at
Chatham are generally smal-
ler than at Scott.

Academically, the schools
are similar, with two main ex-
ceptions. The basic curriculum
is more specific at Chatham,
since particular course re-
quirements in political science,
arts (humanities), philosophy,
and world affairs accompany
the English, foreign language,
science, and history general
group requirements.

A tutorial, or small thesis
in one's major, must be com-
pleted prior to graduation. The
tutorial carries the equivalent
of nine quarters hours, and is
taken in the senior year.

In this program, each se-
nior develops a close rela-
tionship with the professor
tutoring her for that entire
year; the tutorial provides an
introduction to research me-
thods which few students re-
ceive in undergraduate train-
ing; and it permits in-depth
study of a field of particular
interest, thereby stimulating
more students to enter gra-
duate school.

Honor System

The school governments are
similar, and both colleges ope-
rate under an honor system.
The most apparent difference
in this area is that each en-
tering Chatham student knows
what she is agreeing . to up-
hold when whe makes the ho-
nor pledge.

A Scott freshman or trans-
fer student must sign this
pledge without any knowledge
of the specific promises she
is making. At Chatman, the ho-

nor pledge is not signed until
opening convocation, after each
girl has passed a written test

on the contents of the honor
pledge and the workings of the
honor system.

Chatham's social life is much
more liberal than Scott's. Chat-
hamites are treated as thinking
adults, rather than untrustwor-
thy adolescents.

Permission

Parental permission is re-
quired to go out of town while
school is in session, unless the
parents have signed a "blan-
ket permission" at the begin-
ning of the semester. Sign-in
time Sunday through Thursday
is 12:00 p.m.

There is a 1:30 curfew Fri-
day and Saturday night, except
on special occasions or big
weekends at neighboring col-
leges. First semester fresh-
men have 10:30 curfew on week
nights, but they may elect thir-
teen twelve o 'clocks throughout
the semester. (They have the
same sign-in times as upper
classmen on Friday and Satur-
day.)

Drinking

Drinking at fraternity parties
or anywhere else (except on
campus) is up to the individual
students, and girls under twen-
ty-one fall under the jurisdic-
tion of the Pennsylvania Alco-
holic Beverage Control Board.
You may drink as long as you
are not caught. Big Brother, in
the person of the college, is not
watching you at Chatham.

Disappointment

Chatham's racial population
is far more representative of
the racial population of the Uni-
ted States as a whole. There are
many Negro girls at Chatham.

Scott has been a great disap-
pointment in this area, when
compared with the college life
I have known. How can a college
attempt to give its students a

liberal education in a southern
vacuum?

Scott seems to have captured
the essence of school spirit
in its Black Cat festivities.
Chatham is not so successful.

Unfortunately, it is in to be
blase', and the fight against stu-
dent apathy never ceases at
Chatham.

Although Chatham is an older
school than Scott (1869), the
class buildings & i dormitories;
are much newer, and-PLUG
Chatham's day student facili-
ties are far superior to Scott's.

All in all, though, I like
Scott. The friendliness of the
girls here is unmatched by any
college I have ever seen, and
the infectious spirit of "I'm
a Scottie, too," makes any
newcomer feel at home.

Maddox
CalledTo

Editor's note: This article, by
George Fox, is reprinted from
the Emory Wheel.

Word had it recently that Les-
ter Maddox, late of giant-kill-
ing fame, was going to call a
meeting of all Democratic big-
wigs. The purpose of the meet-
ing would be to solidify his par-
ty. The meeting should go
something like this:

"Well, gentlemen, I've called
you all together for the high
ideals of the Democratic Par-
ty, and also to help get me
elected. Now let's take atten-
dance. Gover Sanders?"

"He's in Europe on a Georgia
Trade Mission project to bring
industry to the state."

"OH. Senator Talmadge?"

1 He's in Europe on a State
Department or Senate factfind-
ing mission."

"Senator Russell?"

"HE's in Europe to..."

"Forget it, forget it. Well,
it looks like it's just you and
me, George. And oh yes, I'm
sorry, you too, Lurleen."

(Whispered) "Say thank you,
dear."

"WHAH, Mistuh Maddox, Ah
really appreciate y'all invitin'
me and mah husband heah."

"Now down to business. The
first thing we gotta do is con-
centrate on beatin' Mr. Bo. And
we shall do that by arguein'
the issues. Mr. Bo is for civil
rights, isn't he?"

"No, sir, he's not."

"WELL THEN, he'sformini-
mum wage laws?"

"No, not that either."

"How about bigger roles for
the UnGodly Federal Govern-
ment?"

"NO, LESTER, he ain't for
that either."

"Well, then, we shall not ar-
gue issues in the campaign.
We'll use strict impulsive emo-
tionalism,"

(Whispered) " He y Ge orge,
deah, what does that mean?"

"SHHHH, I'll tell you latuh."

"Quiet, QUIETI Wewillhave
NO cross conversation while I
jam ronductin' this meeting.
QUIET, QUIETI"

"Please, Lester. It's been a
long day travellin' over from
Alabama, and I don't hanker up
to your poundin' the table with
rhat sawed-off shotgun. ..."

Patten Of NSA
Explains Black Power

Gwen Patten, National Stu-
dent Association member work-
ing in Atlanta and past presi-
dent of the student body at
Tuskeegee Institute, was fea-
tured in chapel October 18 to

speak on the topic of "Black
Power," and the relevance of
the civil rights movement of to-
day.

"Black Power," Gwen stated
"is a strategy." This term des
cribes; the present tactics of
the Negroes of America to move
from a positionof discrimina-
tion to one of coalition with the
white people. Gwen pointed out
that, when the term was first
used by the Student Non-violent
Coordinating Committee leader
Stokley Carmichael in Miss-
issippi, the editors of northern
newspapers picked up the term
and defined it according to their
own whims. "We (the Negro
race) have even lost the right
to define our own terms," Gwen
commented.

A native of Detroit, Gwen
journied to Alabama for edu-

cation and to help with the civil
rights movement in the South.
"The racial discrimination is
not regional. You cannot isolate
the race trouble,'' Gwen noted.
"However, you can tell a dif-
ference in attitude: Governor
Wallace will shoot me openly;
Governor Romney will laugh in
my face and stab me in the
back."

Gwen pointed out that, in her
opinion, the civil rights move-
ment was a moving toward
Negro-initiated improvement of
life. "Since 1950 the progress
has been too slow. Now is the
time for Negroes to help them-
selves."

Gwen emphasized an econo-
mic problem which is inter-
woven into the Negro's search
for more freedoms. "The civil
Rights Bill gave us the freedom
to buy a hot dog at the same
counter with the white people,
but the Negro now needs the
quarter with which to purchase
the hot dog." In this area of
economic need, Gwen sees the
greatest concern by the Negro.

Meeting
Disorder

"THIS IS no sawed-off shot-
gun. This is one of my prize
ax-handles."

"Awright, just don't be so
loud. You sound like a lily-
white God-hatin' liberal."

"Well, is there anything we
can challenge Callaway on?"

"YUP. Think Ah got some-
thing. Rumor has it that if he
wins, he will change the name
of the state to 'Callaway Gar-
den.' "

4 WHAT 1 1 You can't be ser-
ious. Besides, I was fiVurin*
on callin' it 'Maddox Country. 1
It's got more of a wholesome
small businessman, un-capita-
listic, uncommunistic ring to
it."

(Knock at the door)

"YES? What is it? Oh...a
telegram."

"Whan, Ah do declaiuh, whan
this is such fun.

"Shuddup. Read the thing,
Lester."

"SORRI I can't be with you
today,' it says."

"Whan that's real nice. Who
signed it?"

"Gene and Betty, Hu'man,
Richard, Ivan, Jimmy. . . "

"JIMMY who?"

' Now stop askin' foolish
questions."

"Now let's get back to the
subject. We gotta hurry 'cause
I gotta get back. Bear Bryant
wants some advice on block-
ing."

"AWRIGHT. A WRIGHT!
Quiet down."

"Lester... I warned you about
poundin* the table with that
infernal drumstick."

"My gosh, George, you sound
like a goddam Commie. Any-
way, we have a report that
parts of Callaway Gardens is
segregated. Maybe we can use
that against Bo."

"GOOD IDEA, Lester. But
how?"

"That's a good question, too."
"Whan, deah, whah not call
up Martin Luther King and get
him to picket the place? And
then Lester can march up and
escore that big *l!$* in. And
then..."
(SILENCE)

' Say, Lurleen, why don't you
go inside and wait for me.
There are some good maga-
zines on the table."

"Now George, don't you get
fussy with me: You betuh re-
membuh who the guv'nor is
now."

"YES, DEAR, you're right,
dear."

"SHADDUPI QUIETI Let's
get on with this. Lurleen's idea
isn't so bad after all."

"Whah, Lester, youescortin'
Martin Luther King into a seg-
regated facility?"

"SHO' *NUF. Think of the
shock value."

"Yes. But who would believe
it?"

"Precisely, George. Who would
believe it? Come to think of it,
who would believe that either of
us have gotten to even this
point? Uh, careful, George,
don't pinch me. I'm afraid I
might wake up."

Evans Warns Against
'Compulsory Power'

Most Profess Belief In God

Editor's note: Here are the results of part
of the PROFILE questionnarie, distributed
near the beginning of the year. These figures
are not exact since the answers were counted
by PROFILE editors and friends, none of
whom are computers. In almost every case,
however, the trend of the answers is so
evident that exact figures are not essential.
Next week the PROFILE will print a dis-
cussion with the officers of Christian As-
sociation on the results, as well as the
reaction of the editors to them.

Nineteen Agnes Scott students admit that
they do not believe in God. This fact is in-
dicative of the results of the God and reli-
gion section of the PROFILE questionnaire.

An overwhelming majority of students do
profess, on the questionnaire at least, a be-
lief in God. A few of the answers were
qualified by such remarks as "not a per-
sonal, Christian one," and "but not in the
orthodox way." One girl wrote, "but not
the same on I believed in as a freshman
and probably not the same one anyone else
believes in."

Other saw fit to emphasize their yes's
with exclamation points, sometimes more
than one.

A smaller percentage of students feel that
Christianity is a vital world force today.
About 250 students answered yes to about 70
negative responses.

Some of these answers were commented
upon. One wrote it is effective in such things
as the Campus Crusade. Another said, "but
the church has not yet entered some world
arguments in which it should have a say;"
one girl said merely, "I hope so."

One student responded, "I do not think
this question can be answered yes or no."
She felt the same way about the question
"Is Christianity a vital force in your life?"
and wrote, "this too would have to be qua-
lified answer, qualified by a detailed phi-
losphical paper."

Others were less hesitant to express
themselves on their personal respond to
Christianity. Around 270 people to 75 feel
that Christianity is vital in their lives. A
number of students confessed thatitwasnot
a vital as it should be.

Quite a few students around 180
said they go to church every week. Sixty-
five go once a month and about 30 once
every two months. About half a dozen stu-
dents answered simply, "no."

The next question involved the effective-
ness of the organized church. Two hundred
and thirty people expressed their belief
in its effectiveness. This was another of
those questions which many students were
not content to answer without qualification.
One girl who checked no wrote, "but I'd
like to work to make it more effective."
A number of negative answers there were
around 80 in all were accompanied by such
remarks as "not as effective as it used to
be or should be."

Positive and negative answers were more
evenly distributed on the question of the
church's effective ministry on this campus.
There were about 195 yes answers to 104
no's.

Several people commented that the cam-
pus ministry was effective in general but not
in her individual case. "It is effective among
those it affects," read one comment.

On the other hand, one girl put, "I see
little evidence of it as a whole, but I be-
lieve that on private individuals it has a
great effect." Said another, "I think a signi-
ficant number of students are involved but
In off-campus actitivies."

One of the more constructive answers
was, "very good structure, but could use
more gospel."

Nays had it, for the only time, on the
question "Have your views and beliefs in
this area changed since you have been in
college?" Two hundred and twenty six peo-
ple said no, 126, yes. There were virtually
no qualifications of answers in this area.

CONSERVATIVE JOURNALIST M. STANTON EVANSof the Indiana-
polis News signs autograph following his talk last week.

On a rainy Tuesday even-
ing last week M. Stanton Evans,
conservative spokesman, lec-
tured to a small crowd in
Gaines. A large percent of the
audience was made up of Scott
professors, Emory students,
and other local people.

Mr. Evans' topic was "The
Future of Conservatism." He
began by defining modern con-
servatism as he sees it. Con-
servatism is a commitment to
the view that government should
maximize the number of options
that are available to the indi-
vidual.

In the conservative opinion
the reach of government power
should be limited. A govern-
ment which has too much "com-
pulsory power" is dangerous to
freedom and overrides the free-
dom of others.

He defined conservative go-
vernment as "government by a
kind of self - denying or-
dinance."

In Mackay
Campaign

Several members of the Agnes
Scott Young Democrats were
busy Saturday handing out lit-
erature for James Mackay, can-
didate for re-election to the
House of Representatives, at
Belvedere Plaza.

The Young Democrats are be-
coming increasingly active in
campaign work here in DcKalb
County. Plans are now being
made to cover the large shop-
ping centers in the area on
October 29 and November 5, the
remaining Saturdays before the
Nov. 8 general election.

Lee Copple, co-chairman for
Mackay for Winnona Precinct,
is asking interested students to
help cover the homes in this
precinct distributing literature
and talking with the residents.

William Cornelius says that
this person-to-person contact
established at shopping centers
and homes is helpful in focusing
the attention of the people on the
candidate whom they can sup-
port and m clearing up the
"confusion in their minds"
caused by the personality cen-
tered races on the state and lo-
cal levels.

Judy Fryer, Young Democrats
president, asks that all students
interested in helping with the
campaign contact her, Ron 704.

Thirty out of 1,000 persons
are alcoholic. This figure from
a recent psychological study
was quoted by Melvin Drucker.

Mr. Drucker, clinical psy-
chologist at the Georgian Clin-
ic, led a cabin discussion on
alcoholism Sunday, October 23.

This was the last in a series
of discussions sponsored by
Christian Association entitled
"Quest for Identity."

He began hi s remarks by
stating that he would not dis-
cuss the moral issue of drink-
ing, although he realizes that
this is connected to alcoholism.
He went on to give the charac-
teristics of a definition of a
alcoholism.

Next, he discussed the extent
and significance of the problem
of alcoholism. This was cen-
tered around two studies, one
by E. M. Jellineck, who is very
prominent in the field of alco-
holism, and another, mentioned
above, which was taken in the
Washington area. It is now
estimated that 30 people per
1000 are alcoholic. However,
there are sexual, racial and
ethnic differences in the inci-
dence of alcoholism.

Mr. Drucker stated that peo-
ple are reluctant to admit their

problem, and this is where the
effect of the current attitudes

rious groups, such as fresh-
men, faculty, etc.

toward the morality of drink-
ing enter.

Next, Mr. Drucker discussed
social attitudes toward alco-
holics. He stated that, contrary
to popular opinion, a population
of alcoholics differs in no way
from any normal population.

Mr. Drucker then gave char-
acterics of alcoholics as he
has observed them at the Geor-
gian Clinic. Generally, these
people are subject to abject
misery, self-hate and total
alienation from others. They
tend to see their only alterna-
tives as suicide or psychosis.
In a situation like this "the
bottle" becomes a very easy
and likely the only way out.

The questions asked Mr.
Drucker centered around
whether or not there is a physi-
ological cause for alcoholism
and how it can be prevented in
the home. Mr. Drucker was
also asked about the success of
the Georgian Clinic.

Mr. Drucker closed the dis-
cussion by stating that he would
be glad to give Scott students a
tour of the Georgian Clinic and
introduce them to the staff. He
said that any interested person
could just call him a few days
before they would like to come.

On the other hand Mr. Evans
sees modern liberalism as the
mirror image of the fundamen-
tal emphases of the conserva-
tive view. It is "the conser-
vative view turned inside out."

Liberalism favors unlimited
government that "can step into
all various zones and echelons
of society."

Under the future of conserva-
tism Mr. Evans stated that a
large number of people, es-
pecially young people, are dis-
enchanted with liberalism and
its restrictions.

As an illustration of govern-
mental restrictions he cited the
case of a farmer who planted
grain exclusively for his own
stock and was penalized by the
government for overproduction.

Also Mr. Evans cited the dif-
ficulties of the Amish people
who do not believe in laying up
earthly treasures and there-
fore, purchase no insurance or
other policies.

An Amish farmer attempted
to withhold his money from the
Social Security fund. As a re-
sult the farmer was penalized^
the team with which he
made his living was sold,and
the money used to pay for the
unwanted insurance policy.

Mr Evans sees these go-
vernment people not as "vi-
cious violators of conscience
and free speech," but as peo-
ple trying to do the best for
their country. They want to
create "a benevolent, coer-
sive state."

Finally Mr. Evans envision-
ed "the death knell of libera-
lism."

The freedom of any group to-
day is fast becoming depend-
ent on the caprice of "the guy
in Washington." No groups can
be sure of the length of their
freedom even if they are today's
"favored group."

The future of conservatism
as he sees it is in the hard
work of conservatives to "con-
vert people to freedom."

Gourmets

EAST LANSING, Mich. (CPS)
Anyone for french fried egg
plant or smelt? How about
sweet and sour tuna chow mein?

Students at Michigan State
University look forward to dish-
es like that, according toTheo-
dore L. Smith, assistant man-
ager of the food service.

Introducing new and foreign
dishes to students is part of
the educational value of uni-
versity life, Smith explained.

In the twelve years since
MSU has been feeding students
exotic dishes, there has been a
substantial change in food pref-
erences. Students have devel-
oped much more sophisticated
tastes.

They also plan their own
dinners, and now many Italian,
Chinese and European dishes,
like chicken tetrazzini, spa-
ghetti milanese, sweet and sour
pork and beef stroganoff are
regular features on the menu.
Each year the menu committee
tries to introduce new items.

One innovation was a gourmet
table set with 25 kinds of label-
led cheese, offered with sug-
gestions for serving.

The most popular item, how-
ever, is hamburgers. Last
year, MSU resident students
devoured one million patties,
turned out at the rate of 7,200
per hour through the wonders
of mechanization.

Blackfriars Initiates
Readings For Frosh

In its fifty-first year, Black-
friars, under the leadership of
its president, Mary Helen Good-
loe, has instituted an . exciting
new program.

This program is a series of
informal readings of short stor-
ies, poetry, etc. The readings
are of particular interest to the
freshmen in their 101 Approach
to Literature and Composition,
but all students are invited and
encouraged to come.

The first reading in the ser-
ies was given in September by
five Blackfriars and Michael
Brown. It was cuttings from the
freshman intellectual orienta-
tion book, A Generous Man, and
was presented preceeding the
faculty panel discussion of the
book.

The second reading was yes-
terday, October 26. JanCribbs
and Sandra Earley, Blackfriars
in charge of the program, work-
ed with Margaret Pepperdene,
advisor for the project, and
chose a short story, "Revela-
tion," by Flannery O'Connor.

Open tryouts were held for the
five member cast of the reading.
A number of those who tried out
were freshmen and the cast
chosen contained both old
Blackfriars and freshmen.

The reading was narrated by
Jan Cribbs with Sandra Earley
playing Mrs. Ruby Turpin and
Peggy Barnes as the Pleasant
Lady. Freshmen Marilyn Woot-
ton and Carol Anne McKenzie
played Mary Grace - the Pleas-
ant Lady's daughter - and the
White Trash woman.

The last reading of this quar-
ter will be given Wednesday,
November 2 at 5 p.m. in Dana.
Jane Morgan and Lennard Smith
have made tenative plans for it.
They include two brief short
stories, "The Lottery", by
Shirley Jackson and "The End

Editor Fired
For"Humor"

Austin, Texas (CPS)-- Things
do not seem so funny for editors
of college humor magazines
these days.

In the latest in a series of
controversies over the content
of student publications, the Uni-
versity of Texas at El Paso has
fired the Editor of "El Burro"
for publishing a fictitious inter-
view between Jesus Christ and
Beatle John Lennon.

The administration has also
suspended publication of the
magazine for the remainder of
the fall semester.

The September 14 issue of
"El Burro" portrayed on the
cover a girl wearing bell-bot-
tomed slacks and, in the back-
ground, a man dragging across
away.

Following the disciplinary
action against the editor, stu-
dents circulated petitions back-
ing the magazine. "El Burro"
is not usually censored, but
questionable material is some-
times taken to the director of
student publications for approv-
al.

The University of Massa-
chusetts administration recent-
ly took action against the cam-
pus humor magazine by denying
the publication any funds forthe
year. The magazine embroil-
ed the school in a controversy
last year after a cartoon of a
priest pulling a rabbit out of a
challice was published. The
State Senatecensuredthe maga-
zine and planned an investiga-
tion of all campus publications,
but the University dissuaded
the legislators.

Davis chose Josie Caldwell's
room as the best in Main. They
said they did not have much
trouble choosing Josie's room.

Bryn Couey and Amy John-
ston, who live on first Inman,
had so creatively decorated
their room that Carley Parker
and Jane Royall found it the best
in Inman.

Lois Fitzpatrick said that
Michael McDowell was very
sensitive to color and the gen-
eral impression of the room in
helping her find the most at-
tractive room in Winship. They
chose the room occupied by
Jeanne Gross and Sonia Boun-
ous.

Betsy Miller and Polly Matt-
hews took the honors in Hop-
kins. Their rooms were chosen
by Michael Brown and Mary
Audrey Apple. Cheryl Dabbs,
House President of Hopkins,
said that Betsy and Polly work-
ed real hard on their room.
Marcia King's and Olivia Hicks'
room in Walters was selected by
Mrs.Tumblin and Mrs. Calder,
who sa id she picked up a
number of decorating ideas.

Louise Allen Sickle and Anne
Diseker Beebe judged the cot-
tages. Their job was to choose
the best room in each cottage
as well as the best cottage.

They noticed whether or not
the rooms had been decorated
with an emphasis toward in-
creasing their size. They also
took into account how they felt
in the room.

Mary Jervis and Betty Hut-
chinson's room won in Harde-
man, and Penne Nowlin won in
Sturgis. In McCain another
single room, Peggy Whitaker's,
was chosen. Vicki Justice and
Allyn Smoak won in Alexander.

Gaines Cottage was chosen
as the best cottage, and Carol
Culver, Lucy Rose and Mary
Lamar were judged to have the
best room in Gaines.

Jane Davis Mahon and Wil-
liam Calder judged Rebekah.
They chose room 312. It is a
triple whose winning decora-
tions were conceived by Chris
Englehart, Patsy Bretz and
Tara Swartzel. Mr. Calder
stated that if he had to move
into Rebekah, he would move in
with Chris, Patsy and Tara.

Susan King and Susan Stevens
had the tough jobof choosing the
best dorm After much de-
liberation they chose Rebekah.
Rebekah won Dec Your Dorm in
1964 also.

Nelson Takes On
Inman Complin

by Louise Bruechert

Inman dormitory invited Jack
Nelson of Agnes Scott's English
Department speak at Complin
last Tuesday October 18. Having
a man in the dorm on a week
night caused quite a commotion,
but after Mr. Nelson grew ac-
customed to seeing everyone's
hair in rollers, they were off to
a fairly intellectual discussion.

Louise Bruechert had given
him the topic a few days earlier:
"You awaken your imagination
through the driving power of cu-
riosity and discontent," (W.A.
Peterson). Though she had for-
gotten to give him any informa-
tion about the author or the con-
text of the quotation, he never-
theless managed to find it "pro-
vocative".

Vii

igor

Mary .Ann McCall, who said she
definitely does not operate from
discontent but from curio-
sity and interest in the sub-
ject matter. Gay Gibson said
they both motivate her and Si-
grid Lyon agreed saying a
teacher should "let the student
know how much he doesn't
know" and this can lead to
both discontent and curiosity.

Mr. Nelson said this is pre-
cisely the strategy of the fa-
culty but that sometimes stu-
dents rely too much on curi-
osity aroused by aperson the
professor rather than by the
material itself. Ultimately it
is "lonely road between you and
the subject matter".

In trying to define "imagina-
tion "Mr. Nelson drew from
Shakespeare's "A Midsummer
Night's Dream v in which a luna-
tic, a lover, and a poet all
possess an intellectual vigor.
This vigor or imagination must
be vitalized and the catalists
for this purpose are " curio-
sity" and "discontent".

Mr. Nelson opened the dis-
cussion by askingwhich of these
is more important, and if dis-
content is necessarily a nega-
tive force.

It was agreed that tension can
act positively in readying one
to respond. Betty Butler confes-
sed she "personally operates
from discontent."

Susan Smethurst feels it is
"absolutely necessary", and
Sara Miller further reinforced
this opinion saying she feels
"perpetual discontent with
homework assignments", and
wondered if this means she uses
more imagination to get them
done.

Fear of dissent was discuss-
ed in relation to the administra-
tion's reaction to students,
through discontent, pressing for
change and concerning the atti-
tude of students themselves.
Martha Norwood asked: "If Ag-
nes Scott Students are afraid
of discontent and discontent is
an important factor in imagi-
nation, how would you (Mr. Nel-
son) rate our imaginations?"

Comparable

He answered that students
at ASC are comparable in this
area with students on many
campuses. Then he hesitantly
said that perhaps our imagina-
tions were "not as fully vital
and awakened as they could
be."

Using Cleanth Brook's state-
ment he said that poetry and
music cannot develop without
tension; indeed, poetry is an
"argument with ourselves".
Donna Hawley asked if ev eryone
has to go through this ' fer-
ment". Mr. Nelson said he has
met few "mushrooms" at Scott,
so if their ferment doesn't show,
maybe the "poetry" they make
just doesn't show either.

The other side of the argu-
ment was finally opened by

Return

Returning to the subject of
fear of dissent, Mr. Nelson
disapproves of suppressing
discontent as in the Viet Nam
situation. He said he values Se-
nator Fulbright more than any-
one else in the U.S. Senate even
though he disagrees with him.

The discussion moved into
"openmindedness," and Betty
Butler spoke of the problem
of being too open, leading to
ambiguity where one is inactive
because of the inability to make
decisions. Sigrid Lyon related
"over" selfrealization" to the
frustration of modern man.

Virginia . McKemie intro-
duced another topic, saying
there are two balancing forces
in nature: a stabilizing force
dominant in women and a dis-
content manifested in men.

Latest Tan

gent

It was nearing 11:00 (one
half hour later than it should
have been), and Mr. Nelson
immediately grabbed this la-
test tangent as a conclusion by
saying perhaps the stabilizing
force could be considered posi-
tive and represented by curio-
sity and the discontent consi-
dered negative.

Since the men and women
in whom these are manifest
balance each other, he con-
cluded that curiosity and dis-
content are equally important
in "awakening" the imagina-
tion.

Letters To The Editor

Cooper Notes

Black Pouer
Generalizations

Dear Editor:

With due respect for visiting
speakers who come to our cam-
pus and not intending to be dis-
respectful to any guest of Ag-
nes Scott, I submit this letter
to you to express my opinion
concerning the comments of
Gwen Patten, NSA member here
in Atlanta, who spoke in convo-
cation on October 18. Initially
let me say that I respect her
for her beliefs; I admire the
courage with which she spoke;
and I commend her for her
energetic attitude.

Because of the political en-
vironment from which I come,
i.e. Ross Barnett, Paul John-
son, and Mississippi, Iwaspar-
ticularly interested in Gwen's
comments. Resenting the repu-
tation which my state now pos-
sesses, I look eagerly for op-
portunities to broaden my per-
ception and to increase my un-
derstanding of the race issue in
particular, anticipating the day

when I can perhaps, as a voting
citizen, contribute my energies
to the adjusting or there-crea-
tion of the somewhat out-dated
policies at home. However,
Gwen overstepped her bounds
as she drowned her theories
in gross generalizations and

over-simplications.

Let me be specific. I am
convinced, contrary to Gwen's
opinion, that skin pigment is
not the sole contributor to rac-
ial discrimination. m I admit
that unjust and perhaps abnor-
mal discrimination and preju-
dice reside throughout the
South, but I cannot believe that
skin color is the only promp-
tor. I will adhere to the fact
that racial differences are made
more distinct by skin color, but
in my home town, whose popu-
lation is at least one-third Ne-
gro, qualities of personal clean-
liness, honesty, or trust alie-
vate the bars of social class.
Even the white man, whose per-

sonal habits conflict with the
fundamental laws of physical
as well as social science, finds
himself to himself. Is it dis-
crimination when a gardener is
fired because he is caught steal-
ing yard tools, even if the
hands which fired are white,
and the hands which stole are
black? I dare say a white em-
ployee would have faced the
same penalty.

In the second place, I feel
Gwen needed to qualify her
statement that white men are
violent, black men are not. Ne-
groes, though sometimes the
object of unfair play, have no
monopoly on the tranquil per-
sonality. Nor are they the sole
causes of riots. The point is
that the Negro is human with
the same limitations, faults and
inadequacies that can be traced
in the white man. Good person-
ality traits cater to no particu-
lar skin tone.

However, regardless of the
causes of discrimination, or
the possessors of violence,
these social menaces exist and
plague our nation. The race
issue poses serious and num-
erous questions, and the an-
swers remain primarily ob-
scure. I commend those who
work for improvement, utilizing
and abiding by the laws of our
country.

Tradition

Dear Editor:

I think something is missing
from the freshmen orientation
program that was noticeable
last year and extremely obvious
this year. When the freshmen
are told about the tradition be-
hind choosing a mascot, it is
drilled into them that their
mascot is to be kept a secret.

That is true: however, that
is only half of the tradition for
the other half is that it is also

Not So, Dear Agnes

Schools Abolish
Women's Rules

WASHINGTON D.C. (CPS)
Colleges and universities are
granting more liberal social
regulations to women, though
the privileges often entail ex-
acting qualifications.

This fall, the University of
Massachusetts abolished all
women's hours, and the Univer-
sity of Oregon did likewise for
its sophomores and juniors. For
several years, seniors and wo-
men over 21 have had this pri-
vilege at Oregon.

All upperclassmenattheUni-
versity of Utah are now eli-
gible for keys to the dorms,
but only if they achieve a 2.5
average (out of 4.0).

The University of Illinois
will experiment this fall with
unlimited hours and key pri-
vileges for seniors. If the sys-
tem is successful, the loosen-
ed regulations will extend to
juniors and women over 21.

Women at the University of
Pennsylvania, tired of rush-
ing back to their dormitories
at two minutes to twelve be-
cause they forgot to sign out,
have initiated a trial system of
telephone Mgnouts for lates.

Formerly girls had to sign our
personally for lates which could
extend to 1:30 a.m. on week-
days and 2:15 on Saturdays.
Now a girl may call her dor-
mitory and request someone to
sign her out for those hours.
A girl does not have to sign
out any time prior to midnight.

Although women must regis-
ter their destination with house
proctors in case of emergency,
signout cards are placed in an
envelope and not opened unless
returned.

At the University of Roches-
ter every class votes on its
own curfews.

After a long battle to allow
men in the rooms, women at
Smith College can now enter-
tain their malefriends from two
to five on Sunday afternoons.
Doors have to be open six
inches, and three feet must be
on the floor.

And at the University of Geor-
gia, administrators are just now
allowing women to visit men's
apartments. The university
does not consider one room
an apartment, however. Bath-
rooms don't count as a room
either but a kitchen might.

expected that the sophomore
class will find out the mascot.
When the sophomores do guess
it, this does not mean that the
end of the world is at hand, but
that the entire tradition has
been carried out.

Perhaps if the freshmen were
told the entire story, there
would be less heartbreaks and
Black Cat would be a happier
and safer occasion.

Dea
For

A few weeks ago I attended a between-
planes press conference with Ross Pirtchard,
Peace Corps associate director for East Asia
and the Pacific. Actually, "press confer-
ence" is not the best term to use. Al-
though college editors in the area were in-
vited, it turned out to be just three Peace
Corps guys and me.

Naturally we didn't set right down to
business. That being the day of Charles
Weltner's withdrawal we talked for a
while about the move and what it said about
the man. Mr. Pritchard sympathized with
Georgia's political situation; his home state
of Maryland is in a somewhat similar posi-
tion.

Then we got onto Thomas Wolfe somehow.
He likes him, too. Finally, quite by acci-
dent, the conversation touched on the Peace
Dorps.

Mr. Pritchard, who was born in New
Jersey, s udied at and played for the Uni-
versity of Arkansas and taught at Southwest-
ern, was on his way to speak at Mercer and
Wesleyan. His trip was a special effort to
attract Peace Corps volunteers from the
South.

He told me with concern that although 25
per cent of the nation's college students are
in the South, only 14 per cent of volun-
teers are Southerners. Only two Southern
institutions rank among the top 50 colleges
and universities that have produced volun-

Now, however, they have a
person for whom they can vote.

So with a projected Demo-
cratic turnout of 60 per cent
of the voters, this would be
900,000 votes, enough to put
the Democrats over the top
without even having the
switch-over vote.

In order for Callaway to beat
Maddox, it would take 75 per
cent of Arnall's original sup-
port to go to Callaway. Without
the Negro vote, it would take
almost 100 per cent of Arnall's
vote to go to Callaway. There-
fore, it seons almost impos-
sible that Callaway could beat
Maddox anyway.

So if Arnall even gets his
original number of votes, he
will be at least second. The
election would then be thrown
to the General Assembly of
Georgia. This presents an in-
teresting problem since the
House was ordered to reap-
portion by the Supreme Court
and has not yet done so. So
it is highly unlikely that the
Supreme Court would accept
a decision rendered by the
mal - apportioned legislature
as it would be a joint session.

says, "We need people now to

and to stop being apathetic.

leader in this particular statistical account.

I asked Mr. Pritchard about the value of
the more informal seminar-oriented P.C.
training programs such as the one with
which I had had contact this summer at
St. John's in Annapolis. He is much in favor
of the system, where natives of the coun-
try live with trainees, who can immerse
themselves in the culture at their own
pace.

He predicts that this type of program,
used at a number of training centers this
summer, will be in practice at many more
places next year.

He was enthusiastic about Peace Corps
results tangible and intangible. The form-
er of course is almost impossible to cal-
culate, but the Peace Corps has made its
mark.

Someone, to wit Virginia Russell, had
just expressed to me the concern that Peace
Corps volunteers often get more out of the
experience than they give. I asked Mr.
Pritchard's opinion and whether he consid-
ered this very good.

"The experience is a profound one for
most people; they learn much about them-
selves that's helpful later," he said. "No
one ever said the volunteers themselves
would not benefit ."

dline Approaches
Absentee Ballots

Agnes Scott students who
are registered voters in the
state of Georgia should be
making their plans now to ob-
tain their absentee ballots for
the November 8 general elec-
tion.

Requests for ballots which
must be sent over 300 miles
must be in by November 3.
For ballots going 30 miles
or less the request date is
November 8.

All ballots, however, must
be received by the local board
of registrars by 7 p.m. on

November 8. The Voter Re-
gistration offices send a per-
son to the post office at that
time to make sure there are
no more ballots.
The request for an absen-

tee ballot must come from the
voter or a member of her
immediate family. It must be
in writing.

The Fulton County Voter
Registration Office urges

voters to list their mother's
maiden name, birthdate, their

home address, and the address
to which the ballot is to
mailed so there won't be any
mix-up in just who is re-
questing a ballot.

So Georgia voters should
get busy now, and not wait un-
til the deadline, to get bal-
lots for the election.

Absentee voting may be va-
lidated by a post office em-
ployee or the college regis-
trar.

Wave Of Introspection
MarksCampuses This Fall

PAGE 7

OCTOBER 27, 1966 m THE PROFILE

"Back to school" magazine
articles do not generally pro-
duce significant insights into
contemporary education, but
this year's Newsweek contribu-
tion may be something of an
exception. Referring to an al-
most, "psychedelic" temper-
ament on college campuses this
fall, the article cites a new wave
of introspection, reminiscent of
the apathy of the '50s. What
began as a burst of energetic
progressivism in 1963 and 1964,
is ending as an acute melan-
cholia in 1966. Even the peace
marchers are beginning to won-
der.

There's a certain truth to
these observations. One could
detect the spirit at virtually
every student gathering of the
late summer. The N.S.A. Na-
tional Student Congress was
considerably less volatile than
those of recent years; there was
more sullenness than fervor.
Reports from the annual gath-
ering of the Students for a Dem-
ocratic Society emphasized a
growing feeling of frustration,
even despair. Four separate
workshops of the United States
Youth Council an 'inter-or-
ganizational confederation of
religious, political, and service
groups ended up asking what
they were doing there at all.
Young Americans for Freedom
dropped its Political Action
Committee, deciding to focus
on high school recruitment.

Same Spirit

The same spirit permeates
the campus itself. To be sure,
there is an unparalleled inter-
est in educational reform and
spurts of life from former cold-
beds of silence. Nonetheless,
the idea which seems to intrigue
students the most is that of the
"T-Group" Sensitivity
Training Sessions which involve
exploration into the innermost
thoughts and feelings of the par-
ticipants. And the brooding has
developed its morbid side
Moderator magazine predicts,
1,000 student suicides this year.

The Moderator story, unfor-
tunately, was more descriptive
than analytical kind of a
guided tour of campus psychos-
es. One quotation from a report
on the NSA Student Stress Con-
ference last year, however, fo-
cuses on a central part of the
problem: "Our solution is to
inject into the system more hu-
man qualities, the most obvious
of which is emotion..." Why
load us with superficial princi-
ples and ideals, obviously less
important than a $14,000-a-
year job and tenure? "We want
ideas that are worth some pas-
sion."

Feelings

Feelings that's the key.
The present generation of stu-
dents wants to feel. Further-
more, they are attempting to do
so in a culture which makes the
exercise of emotion extremely
difficult. Hence, the transition
from politics to psychology can-
not be considered a "new"
trend. It is, rather, a new
phase in a general pattern of de-
velopment on the campus of the
'60s.

Ed Friedenberg's Coming of
Age In America documents
many reasons why in terms of
their high school experience,
college students might seek, or
avoid, overt expression of emo-
tion. The high school, he finds
is "like a bad book: senti-
mental, extrinsically motivat-
ed, and intellectually dishon-
est." The poor are told to shut
up they're "uncouth;" the
rich are told to pipe down
they're "spoiled;" the middle
class is told to "be reason-
able;" "be mature;" "be a
gentleman;" "be quiet."

When the admonitions are re-
inforced by the good old "com-
petitive spirit," and an elabo-
rate structure of rules, they
serve to stifle openness of any
kind.

Blandness

"What comes out," Frieden-
berg observes, "is uniform,
bland and creamy, yet retains,
in a form difficult to detect, all
the hostile or toxic ingredients
of the original mixture."

The "original mixture," was
stirred up a bit in the early '60s.
Needless to say, Kennedy was a
major factor in legitimatizing
the passions of youth. The Civ-
il Rights Movement played a
large part demonstrating, as
it did, the results of our indif-
ference to a large segment of
the population. The opportun-
ity for direct involvement
provided added impetus. Stu-
dents were allowed to feel
they were given an opportunity
to vent emotions through
quasi - acceptable channels.
They responded.

The important point is that
the response was as much an
expression of personal emo-
tional needs as a "new social
consciousness." Snider crit-
ics often attacked this re-
vealing, perhaps, their own fea
of expressing themselves. To-
day, Civil Rights groups have
grown suspicious white
middle class kids with "hang-
ups" don't always make the
most effective organizers.
Nonetheless, the "FeelingFac-
tor" was and is a major con-
sideration. It is unfortunate that
the only people who discuss it
are the ones who enjoy im-
pugning such motives.

Vietnam

Today, the Feeling Factor has
had to find new expressions.
The War in Vietnam; the draft;
the general aura of Johnson-
ism do not provide the clear-cut
moral imperatives which in-
stantly command dedication.
The ineffectiveness of the anti-
War Movement has contributed
to an overall sense of frustra-

tion. Politics is "out,"
because feeling has been taken
from it. The rock has been
turned over, however, and
those, "inner voices" will do
longer be silenced.

New Forms

The new forms of expres-
sion "T-Groups;" psy-
chedelic drugs; privatism in
various forms are, as yet,
rudimentary. While a few have
been grabbed too hastily
LSD is a little more volatile
than a march in Selma the
willingness to explore may yield
techniques which could be bene-
ficial to the entire society.
Sensitive educational reformers
are already studying the de-
velopments with interest,
and, in some cases, applying
the techniques.

Yet, in the long run, the
real task will be integration
of finding ways to relatemthe
emotional needs of students
to the intellectual discipline
which enhances their expres-
sion and development. This has
always been the task of the
artist; the rest of us must ac-
cept it now as well. The es-
sence of style is that it em-
bodies form and substance.
In the past, we' were satis-
fied with form; in the psychede-
lic phase, we accept only sub-
stance. At some point, we have
to find both.

Black Power Invades
Even Dormitories

by Susan Aikman

Black Power is making its
presence known on the Agnes
Scott campus in loud, clear,
ringing tones. Its manifesta-
tions are seen in many ways.

There are considerably more
men on the halls. There are
more lengthy discussions going
on at all hours of the day and
night. And there is a feeling
of freedom and unrestraint
among Scotties.

The liberal tendencies began
to air themselves spring quar-
ter, but their full impact was not
felt until the last two weeks.
People have been discussing
what it would be like, but it is
unlikely that even one person
realized the full results that
the black power would bring.

This power, the black tele-
phones being installed in rooms
all over campus, serves just
as Gwen Patton said the Negro
concept of black power does
as a "strategy." And what
a strategy the phones are I

much happier these days be-
cause of this new strategy. Af-
ter all, they can talk to him now
first thing in the morning and
last thing at night.

Then there are the girls who
don't have their own source of
black power. But there is a
strategy in that, too. They are
saving money while everyone
else, so wisely and strategi-
cally, clears up the major jam
in switchboard service.

So when black power is men-
tioned around here, it's not al-
ways as controversial as that
discussed in chapel last week.
This strategy is ringing, loud
and clear.

Foreign Students Discuss
Reaction To ASC Education

\t} fa> f(f tm' ttue IM;

ACE Meeting

CONTINUED FROM
PAGE 1.

He challenged teachers to re- Ch arles Cogen, president

turn to their ancient Socratic
role as "visible embodiments
of the realized humanity of our
aspirations, intelligence, con-
cerns, skills, and scholarship...

"The teacher is both sanction
and goal of the education he
gives. This is why it is com-
pletely reasonable that a student
should expect a classicist to
live classically. 1

Arrowsmith admitted that not
every teacher can be a "hero"
or a "great man" but claim-
ed that educators "must at
least have a comprehension of
greatness and a hunger for it.
Only then can they speak to the
student's human concern for the
same greatness; at heart all
want realization; if we cannot be
heroes it is heroes nonetheless
we want to be."

The suggestions were, how-
ever, not taken up at the confer-
ence, and most discussion cen-
tered about the ways in which
teacher aims can be achieved
and the various methods for
evaluating faculty effectiveness.

Or. Robert A. Nesbitt, pro-
fessor of sociology at the Uni-
versity of California (River-
side), told the group that "the
primacy of research. ..and the
professionalization of academic
disciplines" are "here to
stay", despite the con/lict of
loyalties they create between
teaching and research.

The conflict universities can
resolve, he noted, is that be-
tween "research and research
-- that is, between research
that should be done outside the
university and research that is
congenial to the aims of the
university." He proposed that

large scale research, in which
students act as "technicians"
and professors as "project
administrators,' be eliminated
at universities.

Other participants in the pro-
gram had these recommenda-
tions for improving college
teaching:

O. Meredith Wilson, presi-
dent of the University of Min-
nesota, said that colleges should
find ways to honor excellence
in teaching, for "if teaching
is honored on our campuses, it
will be cultivated there, and
will finally be done there."
This notion was rejected by
Professor Arrowsmith: "If
you want to restore a Druid
priesthood, you cannot do it by
offering prizes for Druid of the
Year."

of the American Federation of
Teachers, called for unioniza-
tion and collective bargaining to
improve the status of teachers
vis-a-vis researchers. "You
must face it," he told the ad-
ministrators, "collective bar-
gaining is here."

Ester Rauschenbush, pres-
ident of Sarah Lawrence College,
claimed that independent study
programs should be instituted
to give students an "opportuni-
ty to discover questions to work
on and to discover ways of
working on them...."

Other panelists suggested
evaluation of teaching through
classroom visits by faculty,
through student ratings, and
through technological feedback
methods.

Student

The one student on the pro-
gram, James Johnson, former
National Affairs Vice President
of the U.S. National Student
Association, urged administra-
tors to encourage students to
set up their own courses, as in
free universities, and to pro-
mote studentevaluation of cour-
ses and faculty. Johnson was
unable to attend the program at
the last minute, and his paper
was read to the ACE by his
successor at NSA, Edward
Schwartz.

"If you want to improve
teaching. .performance," John-
son wrote, "you must be will-
ing to accept student questions
and answers about teaching...
in colleges and universities to-
day. Faculty teaching subject
matter cannot be confused with
students learning subjects that
matter."

Schwartz put forth his own
view of teaching during the dis-
cussion period. "Students ask,
does this person really care
about me? This in the end is
what is important the way
people treat people."

The ACE, sometimes called a
"presidents' club" of Ameri-
can higher education, meets
annually to discuss a problem
confronting higher education, to
give college presidents an or-
ganized opportunity for meeting
their colleagues, and to "do
business on the side," as one
participant put it.

Administrators are some of
the loneliest people in the world,
a Midwestern college dean said.
'They need this respite from
their campuses."

Editor's note: The following
article represents a conversa-
tion among Elizabeth Cooper,
Vibeke Hover, Amalia Helfgott,
and Miriam Guadalute Aldana.
Vibeke, Amalia, and Miriam
are special students at Agnes
Scott for the 1966-1967 session.
They are natives of Denmark,
Peru, and El Salvador respec-
tively.

ELIZABETH: What has been
your response to the emphasis
on independent initiative in the
area of academics here at Ag-
nes Scott?

AMALIA: In Peru one chooses
his career and his subjects are
automatically selected by the
university. He stays with the
same class and the same stu-
dents all the way through col-
lege. There are no electives.
Of course I like the academic
choice, but I am having a hard
time adjusting to my profes-
sors who guide rather than
teach. In Peru the teacher
taught everything one was re-
sponsible for on a test. Here
many professors emphasize
only the main points. I was lost
at the beginning, but, since this
is my first attempt at college
work, I think I will get use to
working on my own.

VIBEKE: In the universities
at home the professor lectures,
the class attendance is volun-
tary, there are no tests, and the
student is responsible for only
one examination. One follows
his major subject and only one
more course. HoweveF, I en-
joy the freedom of choice here
at Scott.

MIRIAM: The individual con-
cern and care which the profes-
sors display has been a chal-
lenge to me. I find that I can
get more out of my classes
when there is personal interest.

ELIZABETH: What has been
your greatest adjustment since
you have been here at Scott?

VIBEKE: The area of religion
has been my biggest adjustment
and the biggest difference in
life here and at home. At home
the church does not mean as
much as it does here in the
South. However, at home the
religious people are one hun-
dred percent religious, if they
are religious at all. Here many
people go to church for social
reasons, especially to meet new
friends. I think some of this
attitude is a little superficial.

THIS YEAR'S SPECIAL STUDENTS (FROM LEFT) Vibeka
Hover from Denmark, Amalia Helfgott from Peru, and from
El Salvador seem to like Scott.

Everyone acts the same no mat-
ter what his denomination is;
there is no wall between the
various denominations.

AMALIA: I find very little
religious difference because I
am a Jew. The higgest dif-
ference and my greatest adjust-
ment is, as I have already point-
ed out, the method of class
room instruction.

MIRIAM: I find that the pace
of life here is hard to adjust
to, much less keep up with.
Everyone is in a hurry; the life
is very rapid. On the other
hand, everyone seems to enjoy
life more. The studies are
more advanced and irs a good
thing that '.ife is paced more
rapidly or no one could do all
the work.

ELIZABETH: Why and how
did you come to Agnes Scott?

MIRIAM: Amelia and I both
applied through the Institute of
International Education. We had
no choice of school, however.

VIBEKE: I applied for foreign
study through the Danish
American Foundation. And I
would like to say that, although
I was a little disappointed to
discover that I was going to at-
tend a girls' school, I am very
glad to be here. I attended a
boarding school and a convent
for several years before I came
to the States. I must say that
Scott is more liberal and one
can come and go as she pleas-
es, if she signs in and out. The

Seniors To Be Recognized
In Investiture Ceremony

Members of the class of 1967
will be recognized officially as
seniors Saturday when they file
into Gaines for Investiture.

This annually capping ser-
vice signifies the rights and
privileges due seniors.

Kwai Sing Chang, associate
Professor of Bible and philo-
sophy, has been chosen by the

senior class as speaker for the
ceremony.

The seniors will enter Gaines
in a procession, following the
faculty. Sophomores, the sis-
ters to the class of 1967, will
form an honor guard along the
aisle.

Recital To Feature
Contemporary Work

Emphasis Shifts
For Honor Week

The work of contemporary
composers will be featured in
the organ concert of Raymond
Martin tomorrow night.

The program includes
"Trumpet Tune on G Major"
by David Johnson, chairman of
the Music Department at Saint
Olaf College in Minnesota. He
has written much practical
music for the church service.
This piece is patterned, after
the trumpet - featuring organ
composition attributed to Pur-
cell.

Gerre Hancock, organist at
the EpiscopalCathedral in Cin-
cinatti, has composed another
number on the program, "Air."

"Fete," by Jean Langlais,
the blind organist at the Church
at St. Clothide in Paris, is
described by the Scott Music
department as "a good exam-
ple of his masterful use of har-

monic and tonal color, and rhy-
thmic drive."

Cesar Franck's "Chorale in
E Major," one of the "purest
and most complete" express-
ions of his genius, and the
"Aria Con Varazione" of Gi-
ambattista Martini will also
be played.

Two compositions by J.S.
Bach complete the program.
The "Chorale-Prelude" is "A-
dorn Thyself, Dear Soul." Of
the "Passacaglia and Fugue in
C Minor" organist and com-
poser Joseph Bonnet wrote,
"upon the theme if this Pas-
sacaglia by Bach. . .there flou-
rish, like branches of the tree
of Jesse, twenty variations
crowned by a fugue on the same
theme.

The recital will be at 8:15
p.m. in Presser tomorrow
night.

What was formerly known as
Honor Emphasis Week will not
be held this year. Kathy Rey-
nolds, Honor Emphasis Chair-
man explaines the change, "It
is impossible to emphasize ho-
nor in just one week. It is con-
centrated too much and then
dropped."

This year's concentrated ef-
fort is to stimulate interest,
and is designed to" help people
have something to talk about.
Convocation on November 9 will
be a reading composed by Poppy
Wilson, which will give stu-
dents food for thought.

A Hub discussion will beheld
that night, with panel presid-
ing.

W hat happens after the dis-
cussion will depend on the stu-
dents. "If students desire an
immediate follow up, another
discussion will be held in about

three weeks." If not, another will

in winter quarter.

Another renovation of this
year's Honor Emphasis is the
stress placed on our campus.
It will deal specifically with our
honor system.

The committee membership
has been expanded to include a
wide variety of people. Its
chairman is a senior judicial

Rather than have judicial at-

Notice

PRUr-LE polls will be open
today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

At approximately ten o'clock
last Thursday night, the doors
to the dorms at Agnes Scott
College were locked. An anony-
mous tipster had warned the
Dean's Office of impending dan-
ger a Georgia Tech panty raid.

The Decatur police were on
hand and were efficiently
checking suspicious - looking
cars, not only those on campus,
but some on Candler as well.
The Profile Riot Squad was pre-
sent, subtlely casing the joint,
looking for action.

An air of expectancy lay over
the campus, as everyone waited
for something to happen. Five
hundred raiders were expected.

As the deadline came and left,
more girls gathered, making
more noise. The Riot Squad was
nearby when several boys came
by to tell the girls that the raid
was off.

Ironically, at that moment,
many carloads of boys drove
up. Ltisty cheers came from

The police sprang imme-
diately to action, and, fired with
zeal (and bullets, we might add),
began pursuit of these hapless
young men.

One boy reported later that

too scared to stop. Another
slipped and fell, driving a nail
almost completely through his
hand.

By the time the Raid was over,
the police were ready for one

"Society has always been di-
vided into a right and a left."
according to Atlanta Constitu-
tion editor Eugene Patterson,
"and the line between them
is diffuse." In a speech here
on October 27, Patterson said
that both true liberalism and
conservatism "are necessary
to free society and are doomed
to eternal conflict."

Patterson defined a conser-
vative as "a man who wants to
be happy" and a liberal "as
a man who wants everybody
to be happy." He added, how-
ever, that "hyperbole is the
language of American politics."
You need to forget stereotypes
to understand politics.

The environment is the mo-
tivating factor of political ideals
and Patterson urged his au-
dience to "consider reality"
when offering solutions to pro-
blems.

Taking the environment of
Georgia, Patterson pointed out
four facts. The Negroes in this
state are "victimized" because
of their color; the income level
in this state is 21% below the
national average; older people
have a considerably lower in-

come level than that; and the
education in this state is near
the bottom in the nation.

Considering these four facts,
Patterson explained carefully
and fully his reasons for his
stand on the 1964 Civil Rights
Act, the minimum wage bill,
Medicare, and federal aid to
education.
Concerning aid to education,
he made the statement that "go-
vernment should only do that
which the individual cannot do
for himself." We should work
locally first to meet our own
problems, but it hasn't worked,
and Patterson believes that aid
is needed in Georgia for educa-
tion.

Patterson said these four
facts caused "great collisions
on greap issues." There is
a heavy responsibility to use
common sense and not to hurry
to call the other side by stere-
otyped names.

At the beginning of his speech,
Patterson said he was going to
start at the top and come to a
crashing finish. First, hewould
describe "things as they ought

Surprise At Results

We must admit our initial surprise
at some of the results of the God and
religion PROFILE que stionnaire 0 We did
not expect, from the general appearance
of things on this campus, to get such a
widely conservative response. Con-
servative here is not meant in any sort
of derogatory fashion, but it is the word to
be applied to the overwhelmingly favor-
able reaction to traditional Christianity 0
There is still the inconsistency between
written word and deed, or even spoken
word, but we feel the reasons have been
summed up in the comments made by
the officers of Christian Association

It is nevertheless very hard for us
to believe some of the answers, such as
the large number of regular church-
goers, but we under stand the desire to give
a positive appearance on the question-
naire that doubtless led some people to
answer in terms of what they consider
their best c

It is very unpleasant to believe some
of the answers. We find the fact that 226
people confessed no change in their be-
liefs about God and religion in their re-
sidence at Agnes Scott nothing short of
appalling. We do not say that everyone
here should have reversed completely any
pre-college stand on any issue 0 However,
cannot see the point of going to college
at all if nothing is to change,

It is extraordinarily depressing to try
to be a person, a student, or a news-
paper in a supposed place of learning
and growing where one third of the peo-
ple say they are not learning and grow-
ing. It is so depressing, in fact, that we
choose not to believe it We prefer to
think that the question "Have your views
and beliefs in this area changed since
you have been in college'* following close
after such questions as "Do you believe
in God" was interpreted by many to mean
that if you once believed in God and
still do there has been no change 0 We
take this view because we cannot be-
lieve that anyone who has been in any
college for any length of time, believes
or disbelieves the same things and in
the same manner as before coming to that
college.

We want to add a word about the ques-
tionnaires in general. As we have said
before, we are not trying to find out any-
one's deepest secrets. We want to know
the opinion of Scott students on these is-
sues because they should have opinions
on them, because it is interesting read-
ing for the community at large, and be-
cause we want to know what type of au-
dience we are writing to and how inform-
ed they are about the questions that col-
lege students nationwide are concerned
about.

We asked questions in complete honesty
and openness. Many responses were not
as honest and open. Nevertheless, we feel
that those whose reaction was, as one girl
voiced it at the bottom of her paper, "My
opinion of this questionnaire is that it
is cheap and inane" did not understand
the constructive, friendly reasons behind
it.

'We Are Aware' ?

The World Awareness bulletin board
across from the bookstore has been very
well handled this year. We congratulate
those in charge who have taken the time and
care to make the displays attractive, peri-
nent, and varied e

However, we did notive in this week's
spread on the Georgia gubernatorial race
an omission -- of the Democratic candidate
Lester Maddox c

Now of course we are not for Lester
MaddoXo He was, however, duly nominated
as the party's candidate and he is cam-
paigning actively for the office.

Ellis Arnall, who is presented in the
World Awareness display as Bo Callaway's
opponent, cannot properly be called a can-
didate. He is only the object of a write-in
movement.

We regret this slight to the Democratic
Party and to the man, whatever he may be,
who is favored to be the next governor.

We appreciate the work of the World
Awareness people, but if we are going to
be aware at all, let's be completely aware
in future.

Vote

We certainly hope that all students,
faculty, and staff will vote today in the
PROFILE'S straw poll for governor of
Georgia.

Georgia citizenship is not a require-
ment (nor is literacy for that matter).
We urge Georgia voters and their room-
mates and classmates from everywhere
from Europe to California to partici-
pate.

With our undying appetite for statis-
tical evidence, we want to know how
Agnes Scott students and faculty and staff ,
all of whom will undoubtedly be greatly
affected by the political situation in Geor-
gia's next four years, feel on the issue.

Footnote to Georgia voters: Do not forget
to vote again next Tuesday in the general
election,, It's for real.

Failure

To the Editor,

Last Thursday night was po-
tentially a delightful social
event for the Agnes Scott cam-
pus. Alerted by a hot-line com-
munique, we anticipated the
evening's raid.

In keeping with the policy set
for the year by student govern-
ment, we all emerged from cot-
tage and from dorm to greet
the thundering hordes. How-
ever, we were almost trampled
by the eager dean's staff, the
trigger - happy campus police
flanked by their Decatur rein-
forcements, and old "Citizen's
Arrest" himself, Dr. Doerp,
all in zealous pursuit of the
handful which actually appear-
ed.

Glancing toward the Candler
area, we observed a spine-ting-
ling display of patriotic emo-
tion blockades to the left
of us; blockades to the right
of us; red, white and blue lights
(not to be confused with the
red lights visible from wel-
coming windows in Winship and
Walters) flashing brilliantly
atop the stagnant mass of sheet
metal, rubber and vinyl, as into
the valley of death rode the
handful.

Innocent passersby, unaware
of the great danger exuding from
the campus, were halted and
submitted to third degree inter-

rogation by our noble protectors
in uniform. All male dates were
forced to leave at once because
of the imminent danger they
presented to the campus.

Fortunately, all raidees es-
caped unharmed from the holo-
caust. Less fortunate were
those brave (male) souls who
dared approach our gothic halls
with such malevolent intent as
the theft of 39 cent pairs of
Shadow lines which were hanging
out of the windows and could
be had for the asking. (Would
you believe without the asking.)

Since little prior training was
available in the necessary mi-
litary tactics, casualties
mounted. Not to be surpassed
by the USO, several girls saw
fit to entertain the troops and
dress the wounds of the afflict-
ed.

Scholars
To Lecture
In Sciences

University Center of Georgia
will send two speakers to Agnes
Scott in the next two weeks.

William A.H. Rushton of Tri-
nity College, - Cambridge will
lecture on "Cambridge and Co-
lour" at 4:45 in 207 Campbell
November 8.

After the seminar students
can meet with him at a tea in
the biology library.

Mr. Rushton has been a fellow
at Trinity College since 1938
and was Director of Medical
Studies there from 1938 until
1963. His major area of re-
search is the physiology of the
vertebrate eye.

In 1948 Mr. Rushton received
the honor of becoming a Fellow
of the Royal Society.

He has been a Ferrier lec-
turer and is an honorary mem-
ber of the American Academy of
Arts and Sciences.

In his classes he has taught
many Nobel prize winners and
been acquainted with many wri-
ters and poets such as W.H.
Auden.

According to his students Mr.
Rushton is "an interesting
speaker and a delightful gentle-
man who appears rather like
Santa Claus in a hurry."

The following week Hartmut
Kallmann of New York Univer-
sity, a student and professor
in the area of radiation and
solid state, will speak to the
Physics 101 class at 12:10 on
November 14.

After this discussion students
are invited to lunch with him in
the dining hall.

Mr. Kallmann will breakfast
at Scott the next day and then
go to Emory to lecture on
"A Physicist Looks at Nature"
in the Emory biology lecture
room. This will be a general
talk on physics and biology and
is open to the public.

Editor

However, this Thursday night
casual was rudely interrupted
by our friendly campus police
under the director of our friend-
ly dean's staff, and we were
left alone with our tears and
our panties.

In retrospect, we ask our-
selves why we wanted this
panty raid. The Dean's office
asks why we wanted this panty
raid. The campus police ask
why we wanted this panty raid.
Dr. Doerp asks why we want-
ed this panty raid.
"Oh, reason not the need."

Former Army Staff Chief
Presents Vietnam Views

A man with "a glamorous
military record, a scholarly
trtlrioV and broad knowledge bas-
ed <on personal experience in
many important parts of the
world 1 ' is how one magazine
writter described Gen. Maxwell
Taylor, who will speak at Agnes
Scott this month.

In fact, the 65 year old ge-
neral has held nearly every top
post open to a military man.

As a paratroop commander in
World War II, Gen. Taylor
jumped into Normandy with his
troops on D Day in 1944.

After the war he was the su-
perintendent at West Point, U.S.
military commander in Berlin
and U.N. commander in Korea
during the closing stages of the
war.

Chief Of Staff

From 1955 to 1959 Gen. Tay-
lor filled the position of Army
Chief of Staff. During this time
he constantly disagreed with
Navy and Air Force officials
over the policy of "massive re-
taliation."

Gen. Taylor, who saw no fu-
ture in this policy, was con-
stantly in the minority and fi-
nally retired in 1959.

Convinced of his belief, Gen.
Taylor wrote "The Uncertain
Trumphet", criticizing this po-
licy of relying almost solely on
nuclear weapons. Calling for an
expansion of U.S. ability to wage
limited conventional warfare,
Gen. Taylor emphasized a
"strategy of flexible re-
sponse."

He wrote, "The military pro-
gram of the United States should
include all reasonable meas-
sures to prevent general and lo-

cal war and at the same time
contain the potentiality of wag-
ing any war large or small."

President Kennedy, who was
more sympathetic with Taylor's
ideas, asked Gen. Taylor to
study U.S. intelligence and the
capacity to engage in guerilla
warfare after the Bay of Pigs
incident in 1961.

In 1962 Gen. Taylor became
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff. He held this post un-
til 1964 when he was appointed
as U.S. ambassador to Vietnam
a post which he held for one
year.

Vietnam

Through the years Gen. Tay-
lor has been at the heart of
U.S. decisions on Vietnam-as
a soldier, diplomat, and White
House adviser. Consequently,
he believes the U.S. has a great
deal at stake in the Vietnamese
war.

Early this year he elaborat-
ed on this in an interview with
U.S. News and World Report,
stressing "our commitment to
the people of Vietnam. . .not
the 'Governments'. " He also
listed pragmatic reasons for
the U.S. stand in Vietnam.

Gen. Taylor said, "We have
seen the statements emanating
from Hanoi and Peiping that the

'war of liberation' is the wa
of the future for expanding
Communism. . .After its suc-
cess, as anticipated by th-
Communists in South Vietnam
they say-and I think they wil
make good on this statemen
that they will carry the same
tactic and technique into Latir
America, into Africa and othei
parts of Asia."

China

Therefore, Vietnam is an im-
portant point in the East-West
struggle. Its importance to the
Chinese Gen. Taylor believes
is ideological rather than stra-
tegic. However, "it can be a
rich country."

Looking forward to the end
of the war Gen. Taylor stress-
ed, "Obviously we can't all go
home at once. I think our troops
can go home, but we're going
to have to continue to help this
little country, just as we helped
in Korea."

However, Gen. Taylor con-
siders this situation optimis-
tically. "Vietnam can be made
into a rich country, exporting
rice in large quantities. Light
industry is developing a little
even now. . .So that, given a
break, this country could move
forward and become a prosper-
ous part of southeast Asia."

Gray Fights
Community
Prayer

To the Editor:

Why must prayer be a com-
munity affair on the Agnes Scott
campus? Why can't religion be
a personal concern rather than
a group effort?

In specific, why must the non-
Christian student be required
to attend a Convocation which
is nothing but a Christian wor-
ship service, such as the one
conducted by Dr. Alston on
October 26?

I am not criticizing Chris-
tian Association, which does a
good job of respecting the be-
liefs of each student. It is sup-
ported by voluntary pledges
rather than by student govern-
ment.

Complin is voluntary; why not
Convocation, if it is to be a
religious service?

It's my mistake. I should have
known better than tc come to a
Presbyterian affiliated college
expecting religious freedom.
Yes, I am an idealist.

I believe that the right not to
worship is as important as the
right to worship. And that right
is being infringed at Agnes
Scott.

Walkways

To the Editor:

I was asked the other day to

write an article for the Profile
on a Psychological Study of
Phonebooth Doodling at A.S.C.
I was going to avoid the Pro-
file staff and the lower dining
hall for the next two weeks, but
then I decided that I would write
an article that would be of more
lasting and permanent interest
for the future of A.S.C.

I have always been concern-
ed about girls getting wet in
going to classes between But-
trick and Campbell. Quite ob-
viously the two buildings should
have been interconnected so that
one would not have to go outside
at all while going from English
class to psychology lab. But
some very evil architect cle-
verly designed the placement
of the doors so that one must
make a maximum number of
steps no matter which way she
goes.

Girls who have been exposed
to the morning weather seem to
develop a somnambulistic psy-
chological dispositon. The dam-
age has been done, however, and
one way to correct it is to build
a vine covered walk - way be-
tween the back doors of But-
trick and the front and side
doors of Campbell.

While making this suggestion
1 would also like to suggest that
Main, the Hub, the Dining Hall,
and Winship Hall be similarly
interconnected with Buttrick
and Campbell .Then there will
be no more situations like last
winter when a girl slipped on
the ice and landed on her em-
barrassment. I suggest this
construction for next summer.

No, Bill James is not heir

some strange, fortunate chance
has been blessed by the Spirit

Sweet William (our young
hero) has for some time been
at the jeering mercy of his leer-
ing roommate (boo, hiss) who
keeps a record on their wall
of how much mail each of them
receives. This blackguard, who
shall remain nameless (partly
to protect the knave, partly to
protect this paper from suit for
libel, and partly because this
reporter i does not know his
name), has taunted our white
knight for the last time! With
an avalanche of mail, Scotties
have rushed to aid poor Bill in
his hour of need, again proving
that chivalry is not dead on the
Agnes Scott campus (a little
backward, perhaps, but not
dead).

If you have yet to join the
Campus Crusade for the En-
croached Upon Clemsonite, ad-
dress yourletter to Bill James,

the throng of Scotties who rush
to their mail boxes three times
each day, just hoping for a let-
ter from Bill.

Sorry about that.

the general messy condition of

Teamwork Pays
In Hockey Games

by Evelyn Angeletti

For the pa st month, Llewellyn
Wilburn of the Physical Edu-
cation department and Gail
Livingston, hockey manager,
have drilled on hockey as a team
sport and a thinking game. Ap-
parently, the message made a
goal with the class hockey teams
last Friday. According to Miss
Wilburn, all four squads seemed
to be working more as units.

This teamwork brought out

way streets), and a jeep with a
ferocious police dog was on
hand. Some students were glad
that the Raid didn't come off,
since the dog seemed not to
notice the difference between
girls and boys. Unfortunately,
by that time, most raiders and
dates had been asked to leave.

A short-lived attempt was
made to begin a movement to
throw panties to the police.
By twelve o'clock the campus
was its usual staid self, ex-
cept for a few later flareups
of violence.

(The following comments
were among those overheard
prior to and during the pantie
raid).

As the abortive raid began,
someone in the excitment
screamed "Shoot 'em down like
flies! "

From Walters Dorm came the
chant: "Damn Poor Raid!"

As students poured out to
watch the chase: "They haven't
been out of the dorm for 20
years, but they're coming out
now."

"This could replace Wednes-
day night casuals."

A senior was asked to com-
ment on the raid: "Tae Hae,"
quote shae.

An early campaign promise:
"Panties in every room, locks
off ever door, boys under every
bed."

Some bright soul suggested
getting name tags for every-
body.

"Self-defense and pantie raid
courses will be offered for
Tech boys this spring."

Retrospectively one could say
that a good time was had by all.
The police got to chase real
live renegades, and book about
54 of them; some of the boys got
panties; and all Scott students
got study breaks and excitment.

Both forward lines seemed to
be more active and agressive.
Passes across the field among
the forwards opened up the game
on several occasions.

In addition, the freshman de-
fense conceded only two senior
goals. And their stubborn stands
inside their circle gave the
spectators a traumatic thrill.
The seniors, however, showed
their hustle and experience by
allowing Chris Robin only
one goal.

Pressure was a key word in
the next match between the jun-
iors and sophomores. Each side
struggled to master the contest,

by both teams. The junior back-
field displayed the advantage
of the thinking game in a little
razzle dazzle on roll-ins. A
Popeye fullback, or halfback,
took the roll-in and would pass
to another defender who, in
turn smashed the ball across
the field.

Any sophomore charging to
intercept the pass was promptly
dodged, a most interesting play
particularly to the Raggedy
Ann players trying to gain pos-
session of the ball. The sophs
exhibited their ability as a team
determined to press their op-
ponents and to limit the jun-
iors' working room.

C A Officers React
To Profile Results

by Ann

When the results of the God
and religion section of the PRO-
FILE questionnaire had at last
been tabulated, it seemed lo-
gical to discuss them with the
officers of Christian Associa-
tion.

They were quick to point out
that they were not handing down
the C.A. judgment, since ac-
cording to its organizational
structure, C.A. includes the
entire student body of which the
officers and cahinet are the go-
verning body.

However, since these girls
have shown enough interest to
become officers and by virtue
of those offices are even more
concerned with religion on this
campus, it still seemed logi-
cal to discuss the questionnaire
with them.

The group dwelt on the ob-
vious inconsistency in the over-
whelming number of people pro-
fessing belief in God (only 19
said they had no such belief)
and the response to and interest
in C.A.

"The biggest thing on this
campus is apathy," said vice
president Kathey Stubbs. "It's
frustrating when people should
be concerned about something
like Intercollegiate."

Betty Butler, C.A. president
agreed: "So much is lost sim-
ply by default. People don't go
to chapel because they don't
know what the program is. They
don't know enough to make a
choice."

Sections

"Also, she continued, "peo-
ple don't see God out of church,
in anything they're doing. They
don't realize that saying hello
to a lonely person is an act of
worship. They section them-
selves out into socia^intellec-
tual, and religious compart-
ments and don't see God in the
development of minds, bodies,
social consciences."

One reason why written re-
sponse on the questionnaire does
not seem in accordwlth conver-
sation and action at Scott was
given by Kathey. "We can't
talk about our belief. We are
em brassed and afraid of being
termed 'conservative' Thewide
majority of students know
something about God but have
doubts. They don't want to say
anything definitely and are a-
fraid to share their grappling
and uncertainty."

I asked why, if this is the
case, C.A.'s programs deal with
rest homes and not the basics
of belief.

"Can you imagine reaction
on this campus to a prayer or
Bible study group?" some one
shouted.

Betty replied, "Serviceis not
distinct from belief, but basic
to it. It is a way of working
out belief."

Another inconsistency exists
between the faith in God and the
organized church and the re-
sponse to C.A.'s pledge cam-
paign.

"It's a lot easier to say you
agree than to give money," said
Marcia King, C.A. secretary.

Roberts

Betty pointed out that it is the
old question of profession and
action. Also, "some people ob-
ject to C.A.'s being organized.
They say they are supporting
financially a church instead."

"Many won't do both," said
Kathey. "But many aren't doing
either."

"But to use Dr. Marney's
definition of Church," said Bet-
ty, "any relationship between
people on campus is church. And
people forget about money .They
don't realize that response to
slum children must ultimately
involve grubby money matters.
But I don't see why belief in
God should mean contributing
to C.A."

"I don't want to give a com-
pletely negative idea about
Scott," Betty concluded. There
are moments between people of
keen insight, sensitivity and
mutual concern. That's why
things are sometimes frustrat-
ing. When you see what people
can do when they are concern-
ed, the present situation be-
comes more devestating.

"But as long as you are open
to saying you believe you are
subject to one such moment."

Patterson

to be" and then "conclude with
the Georgia governor's race."

In this race, there is no li-
beral candidate and no moderate
conservative candidate. There
are "two extreme conser-
vatives running against each
other on similar platforms."
As Patterson pointed out, these
two men have totally different
backgrounds educationally, etc.
Yet they have the same political
philosophy.

The luxury of blind partisan-
ship to the party is no guide
in determining how to vote in
this election. After all Maddox
"is an admitted party de-
fector" Both candidates are
Goldwater enthusiasts. There
would be no problem if it were
merely a choice between the two
men. But this choice is "larger
than the man or the party."
The voter must consider the
political intent or these candi-
dates and their long run effect.

The voter must make a judge-
ment now, according to Patter-
son, and not be "distorted by
things past." These things past
include the primary of Septem-
ber 14 in which the two mo-
derate candidates received
more votes than the four con-
servative candidates (including
Maddox) together. It also in-
cludes the September 28 run-
off when "Callaway voters forc-
ed Georgians to the present
choice by crossing over."

Maddox, according to Patter-
son, has had no experience in
public service. In the conduct
of his private business, he put
himself over others and broke
the law by pointing a pistol at

of the office he seeks." After
all, the governor is the exe-
cutor of the law.

When Callaway set out in this

campaign, he intended to "ride
the old tiger the ancient Demo-
crats rode for so long." Mad-
dox's nomination has cut into
this plan. Patterson said that he
goes give Howard Callaway cre-
dit for "declining to claim that
he is something he isn't." At
least, "he has the integrity to
be what he is." He still, how-
ever, needs an alliance between
the moderate conservatives and
the Negro voters to be elect-
ed.

Patterson believes thatCal-
laway who entered politics on
the side of the status quo, is
"insulated from life as it is."

There as a wide gap between
what Callaway believes and what
Patterson believes Georgians
need.

Patterson quoted Woodrow
Wilson's statement "I am a-
fraid of a strong man who is
wrong" in saying that this is
his objection to Callaway.

He also said that "1 am not
much for write-in campaigns,
but that every person should
do what he pleses and do it
out of the bottom of his own
heart.

"To wit": the call rings out anon
To woo the ears it falls upon.
"Pursue the studies you've begun;
Stoop notto stop before you're done
When only halve cours you've

And fast upon its echo free
In chorus rings a note (i.e.,

To strive to be more erudite-
To learn all day and eke all night,
Until the high degree's in sight -
We confidently start the fight.

Before we start the grad school bit,
To Graduate Records we submit -
To see if we are really fit
To take the rigorous pace of it
And deal in depth with English Lit.

Armed with knowledge, well-
thought-out,
Of concepts, trends we've traced

through out-
In pensive moods and grave, no

We enter, and we think about
Our task. But. lo, there comes a
shout:

"All right, you all, let's get in line.
Take seats one, three, five, seven,

Blackfriars Presents
Panel On 'Menagerie'

With opening night of Glass
Menagerie a week from today,
Blackfriars is presenting a pan-
el discussion on the original
Broadway production. The dis-
cussion will be held during cha-
pel period tomorrow, Friday,
November 11, in Dana.

Terry Kay, Amusements Edi-
tor of the Atlanta Journal and
Tom in the Blackfriars produc-
tion, and Jay Broad, Director

of Theatre Atlanta will be on
the three member panel mo-
derated by Miss Winter of the
Speech and Drama Depart-

The third panelist will be
Julie Haydon, now a member
of the resident acting com-
pany at Theatre Atlanta. Miss

Haydon played Laura in the or-
iginal Broadway show which
was first performed on March
31, 1945.

In speaking of Miss Haydon as

Marvell
Parallels

The controversy over A Ge-
nerous Man at Agnes Scott this
fall has a something of a par-
allel in a current situation at the
University of North Carolina.

There a group of students
have been "offended" by the
assignment of Andrew Marvel's
poem "To His Coy Mistress"
and a theme on seduction.

Graduate instructor Michael
Paull claimed that his class had
misinterpreted the entire point
of the poem. To demonstrate
this contention, he read aloud
to his class three of the pap-
pes one of which, he said
contained "words that were in-
serted merely for shock value."

Following student protests
and much local television pub-
licity, Paull has been trans-
ferred to "other duties" at the
school. University Chancellor
Charlyle Sitterson said, "On
the basis of the evidence before

created moonlight. She plays,
however, with a new authority,
and a new variety."

A seminar presenting both
sides of the United States' in-
volvement in the Vietnam war
will be held November 14
through 18. It will be in the
form of four Hub discussions
beginning with a presentation by
a student or faculty member
and followed by a group dis-
cussion of interested students.

The seminar is sponsored by
four groups on campus, pri-
marily NSA coordinator Helen
Roach. The other committees
are the Extra-Curricular Com-
mittee sponsored by Barbara
Dowd, the Young Conservative
Club represented by president
Claire Allen, and Christian As-
sociation's World Awareness
division headed by Sally Elber-
feld.

for the whole student body and
especially those students
"well-versed" in fifteenth cen-
tury French. Several distin-
guished members of the Agnes
Scott student body will take part
in this production of one of the
earliest comedies in the French
language.

The setting is a village in the
late Middle Ages. The action

a courtroom area, and will in-

ough discussion of both sides
of the Vietnam issue. Helen

Roach feels that too much em-
phasis has been in favor of
U.S. involvement. This stems
from the Affirmation Vietnam
program last year and General
Maxwell Taylor's visit to Scott
this year. She wants to be sure
students know the other side as
thoroughly.

The four Hub discussions will
take place Monday and Wednes-
day nights and Tuesday and
Thursday afternoons. Monday
from 8 p.m. to 9 p.m. the his-
torical background of Vietnam
since World War II will be pre-
sented. There are two conflict-
ing "sets of facts" whichwill
be discussed.

Tuesday from 3:30 to 5 the
talk will concern the political
justification of the U.S.'s pres-
ent policy.

Reactions

Wednesday from 7:30 to 10
the presentation will be by Mir-
iam Drucker, and the discussion
will center around reactions
and attitudes to the war. This
will include attitudes of the
American population, American
soldiers, Vietnamese soldiers
and the movement of protesting
students.

Thucsday afternoon, the final
discussion led by Claire Allen
will present alternatives to the
war. Helen urges everyone who
wishes to participate to be well
prepared.

Resources

To make this preparation
easier the committee has writ-
ten to twenty agencies for a
variety of resource informa-
tion. Some of these include NSA
which is sending major state
department material and some
information on the National
Committee for a Sane Nuclear
Policy, the Embassy of Vietnam
in Washington, D.C., the Student
Peace Union, the American
Friends Service Committee, the

Atlanta Committee to End the
War in Vietnam, and the Na-
tional Council of Churches.

There will be displays in the
Library and the mailroom of
this information. Packets of
the NSA material will be on sale
in the Bookstore for 25 35
cents.

Chapel Panel

Thursday, November 18, dur-
ing chapel the seminar commit-
tee will present a panel of rep-
resentatives from various ac-
tion groups in the Atlanta area.
These people will introduce al-
ternative suggestions to those
brought out in the Hub discus-
sions.

Sixty-five girls have signed
up to take part in the discus-
sions. Invitations are being sent
to faculty members to partici-
pate.

AA Sponsors
Self -Defence
Course

Athletic Association recently
conducted a survey to calculate
the interest for a proposed self-
defense program featuring a na-
tionally known lecturer.

The results of the survey
showed 224 students interested
in the lecture-type program
which would require a fee of
three dollars. Those interested
in a defense program without the
fee numbered 301, and those
students whose interest in any
type of program is negative
totaled 231.

"As a result of this survey
Athletic Association will spon-
ser a second self-defense pro-
gram, patterned after the one
held last year," reports Eliz-
abeth Cooper, chairman of the
Self-Defense Committee for
AA. 'The program will be
scheduled for the early part
of winter quarter."

me, it did not appear that (Paull)
had effective communication
with his class and that the read-
ing of themes in this class. . .
with consequent embarrass-
ment on many points, had ser-
iously disturbed the normal tea-
cher-student relationship. "

Paull contended that he was
not "deviating" from the course
syllabus and that the students'
themes he read aloud "sort of
embarrassed me."

"I went on to explain that
this was not what I had meant
by the assignment," he con-
tinued, and that the class had
"missed the entire point of the
poem."

Despite protests by several
students against the transfer
of Paull, Sitterson claimed that
his action was not meant as
discipline. "In makingthis rea-
ssignment, no punitive mea-

sures are being taken against
Mr. Paull nor are there any
charges being made against
him," he said.

Paull, editor of the Carolina
Quarterly, has refused to com-
ment on his reaction to the
transfer, but his case has won
the sympathy of at least one
amateur poet in the Chapel Hill
student body. In a letter to the
Daily Tar Heel, the student
newspaper, he wrote:

"The dumb, the slow, attend
the show

And join your family three;

All clap hands and dance and
prance

Under the ignorance tree."

structors treatened a boycot

Callaway Wins Poll,

Republican Howard "Bo"
Callaway carried 58 per cent
of the vote in the PROFILE
straw ballot for Georgia go-
vernor. This represented 235
votes.

The name of Ellis Arnall
was written in by 159 voters,
40 per cent.

Democrat Lester Maddox re-
ceived seven votes, Jimmy Car-
ter three, and Lynne Wilkins,
Gay Johnson, and Eva, one each.

Of the Callaway supporters,

82 are registered Georgia vo-
ters. Forty- eight of the Arnall
followers are registered in this
state.

Four of these write-ins would
have been thrown out in the
general election since the can-
didate's name was misspelled.
Of the out-of-state write-ins,
11 would be voided for the same
reason. (All votes were count-
ed in the unofficial PROFILE
poll.)

Study Study

For the first time this year, and per-
haps ever, education was discussed in Re-
presentative Council last week.

We are very glad to see the topic in-
troduced and met with such enthusiasm.
We hope that the faculty will be as re-
sponsive.

The proposed study is one which we find
valuable and valid for students. Students,
and faculty, need to be concerned with edu-
cation, specifically at Agnes Scott.

The tone of proposal is not negative,
with a fiery desire to change everything
at once. The tone is not even that of change,
but rather that on study, and study at the
most basic level.

We hope that this organ of study and in-
vestigation can soon be set up and get to
work. We look forward to seeing its work,
and we hope that it will not become bogged
down, as do so many fresh ideas, in red
tape from the outside or in trivia from
the inside.

Scott Hiorh
In Ph. D.

Degrees

Agnes Scott College ranks
high on the list of colleges in
the United States of its size and
type in respect to the percen-
tage of faculty that hold doc-
toral degrees. Also, Scott ranks
exceptionally high for number
of Ph. D. degrees held among
Southern schools.

Out of 85 full time or part
time, 53 members of the Scott
faculty have the Ph. D. degree
and 27 hold the masters de-
gree. Eight persons are now
working on their thesis for the
doctorate; when these disserta-
tions are finished, the per-
centage of Ph. D. willrisefrom
62 per cent at the present time,
to 72 per cent.

Twenty - one of the present
doctorates come from Southern
universities, and these belong
mainly to members of the
science, math, economics/
sociology departments. There
are more Ph.D.'s from Emory
than any other university, fol-
lowed by Yale, Columbia and
Harvard.

Only eight members ofthefa-
culty are Agnes Scott alumnae.

Current Program
Aims At 9 Million

If the current development
program is successful, by 1975,
Agnes Scott will have a total
endowment fund of $20,000,000.
The current total endowment is
a little over $11,000,000.

In May of 1965 the Board of
Trustees launched a ten year
development program to raise
$13,350,000. A committee head-
ed by the late president emeri-
tus, James Ross McCain, and
including twelve other members
of the Board of Trustees and
Wallace Alston presented this
program to the Board of Trus-
tees.

6,000 people contributed to
the development program which
culminated in the 75th Anniver-
sary Campaign in 1964. With
the funds raised in that develop-
ment program, Winship dormi-
tory and the Fine Arts building
were built.

Appeals will go out to foun-
dations, friends, business, in-
dustry, alumnae, faculty, stu-
dents and parents for funds for
for the current program.
$5,000,000 of the current pro-
gram will be used for new build-
ings.

A new dormitory will be built

Letters To The Editor

Committee
Clarifies
Mascot Issue

To the Editor:

In reply to Jane Morgan's
letter regarding the traditions
surrounding Black Cat, we
would like to clarify the issue.
Prior to the last four years, the
tradition was for the freshmen
to surprise the campus with the
announcement of their mascot
on Friday of Black Cat; how-
ever, one ambitious sophomore
class, upon discovering the
mascot, jumped the gun by wel-
coming the mascot Friday
morning.

Since a particular event needs
to occur only once in order to
be labelled a tradition, this
became the "tradition."

The Orientation Committee
regrets that recently this "tra-
dition" has caused such an ex-
treme amount of tension, ill
feeling, etc. between the fresh-
men, not willing to reveal their
mascot, and the upperclass-
men, determined to discover
the mascot; however, because
we do not believe the freshman
class should be told that the
sophomores "traditionally"
discover the mascot, we sug-
gest an alternative course of
action.

We suggest a return to the
true meaning of Black Cat: the
official culmination of Orienta-
tion by a welcoming of the fresh-

men into their place in our
college community. As such,
Black Cat should unite the four
classes to create one harmon-
ious student body.

The competition in which the
classes are involved has its
place on the hockey field and
in the song contestl It is not
meant to divide the classes into
separate camps choosing the
dormitories as the battle-
ground.

Let's hope that next year's
sophomores, the Class of 4 70,
along with the rest of the stu-
dent body, will recapture the
true Spirit of Black Cat and,
thus, welcome the freshmen
and their mascot without reser-
vation.

To the Editor:

Students' hostile reaction to
the hostile suppression of the

the college considers such raids
too seriously, and the students
consider them too lightly. In-

punishment being the less effec-

suggestion of a raid I suggest
that the College meet them
with coffee, donuts, and a cam-
pus dance. In this way the basic
nature of the raid will be sub-

C.A. Grateful
For Pledges

Dear Editor,

We would like toexpressour

thanks to the 212 students who
have made pledges for the C.A.
budget this year. We regret
that we cannot thank you each
personally, but time and money
do not permit it. Ramona offer-
ed to give her time to write
212 letters for us, but we de-
cided her time could best be
spent working in service pro-
jects and staying off the ineligi-
ble list.

As for the rest of cabinet,
we are trying to spend our
time planning the programs and
projects in which we will use
the money you have pledged.
And as for lack of money-
well, we have received
$1,826.45 n pledges from you,
which means you have generous
women. There are over 500
students who have not pledged,
however, so we are still se-
veral hundred dollars short of
our usual budget.

It is therefore probably not
wise to spend what we have
gotten on thank you note sta-
tionery. Instead we will save
it to spend on scholarships
for Scott students participat-
ing in YWCA projects, such
as the one in Chicago at Christ-
mas time; our contribution to
WUS; tutorial supplies for our
service projects; and many
other things for which C.A.
uses money.

The money you have pledged
is desperately needed. Thank
you, each of you, for contri-

buting. And special thanks to
all the C.A.R.'s who contri-
buted their time in a success-
ful effort to inform more people
about the C.A. budget and its
purpose.

To those who have pledged,
to the C.A. R.'s who have work-
ed especially hard, and to those
who are going to pledge but
have not done it yet, we extend
our appreciation for your sup-
port.

Sincerely,

Christian Association Cabinet

Reader Protests
News 'Slanting'

Dear Editor:

I have read, with interest,
your issue of October 27, with
particular attention to the lead
story on page one. As a former
working journalist, a political
reporter for a large and re-
spected southeastern news-
paper, I am moved to say that,
by any standards of responsible
journalism, your reporter's ef-
fort is a bad piece. It violates
every basic rule of good news
writing, the first of which is
impartial presentation of the
news. Only an idiot could fail
to discern the highly-charged
emotionally-involved personal
prejudice of a reporter car-
ried away by her own enthu-
siastic partisanship and dar-
ing to present it as news copy.
Over-played, badly slanted, and
questionably-placed, the story
is also tedious.

Conversely, in the page four
coverage of M. Stanton Evans'
speech, expressions of the con-
servative position are carefully
and properly, either attributed
to Mr. Evans and the conser-
vative opinion or strategically
identified by quotation marks.

I note that in your editorial
columns you have made abun-
dantly clear you position re-
garding Mr. Arnall's candidacy.
This is proper. In the interest
of fair play and good journalism,
it would be equally proper to
present all coverage of partisan
politics in a factual and con-
cise manner in the news in

nasium will be built across
Dougherty Street from the ten-
nis courts, and the old gym will
either be converted into a stu-
dent activities building or torn
down and a new building put in
that place.

$6,150,000 from the current
development program will be
for the general endowment fund,
and $2, 200,000 will be for schol-
arship endowment.

In a few years the Board of
Trustees will launch a major
capital funds campaign such as
the one which seniors helped ^
bring to a succe ssful close in
1964.

vantage point of what is pre-

it is poor ethics and wretched
journalism.

Freedom and a sense of re-

bound together, the one unable
to endure without the other,
whether it be freedom of a peo-
ple or of the press which helps
to keep them free. Conscient-
ious members of the working
press daily, and zealously,
guard their work against them-
selves, striving to assure that
they not misuse the power of
their positions to coerce
the minds of others. Tolerance
of biased news reporting, on
however small a scale, is an
affront to responsible journa-
lists and a negation of the
principles upon which a free
press rests. The earlier this

of 27.9 which Janice set her-
self last spring in the 40-yd o
back crawl. The freshmen
seemed to bring their hustle
from the hockey field inside
as they placed second in four
speed events.

The juniors pressed contin-
ually in their attempt to win the
meet which they captured last
autumn. But; seaman Popeye
could not overcome the first
place dominance of the sopho-
mores.

In the form swimming, Rag-
gedy Ann took, or tied, first
place in three out of four events.
However, gracefulness and
poise (though wet) were dis-
played by the other competitors.
The seniors made their only
appearance in the rn^et in Qje
form events. ^

Diving found only two con-
testants: junior Lynne Anthony,
who placed first, and freshman
Sally Tucker. Even so, the
skillful performance offered a
change of pace for the packed
gallery of spectators.

The final results of the meet
gave the sophs first place with
55 points; juniors, second with
32 1/2; frosh, third with 28;
and seniors, fourth with 1/2

The plot centers around the
poverty of Pathelin and his
chagrin at his dwindling law

The play, typical of its age,
is full of movement, gestures,
and exclamations which will aid
the audience greatly in under-
standing it.

The play's director, Mon-
sieur Volkoff, a new member
of Scott's French department,
has had much experience with
French drama and directed his
own troup when he was teaching
in Paris.

Much backstage work has
been done by the prop and

Regardless of the sport, tie
games have a flair for awk-
wardness and dissatisfaction,
because a team wonders if it
could have won with just a little

extra oomph. Hockey season
thus far has had four deadlocks-
two of which came last Friday.
The seniors and juniors knott-
ed (for the second time) with a
score of 0-0, and the freshmen
equaled the sophomores at two

The seniors and juniors
started their first half with de-

Emory Abolishes Wednesday Classes

As we struggling Agnes Scott
students sit here on our cam-
pus, attending classes on Wed-
nesday and Saturday, not to
mention Monday, Tuesday,
Thursday, and Friday, there
are those, a short two miles
away, who are more fortunate
than we.

"Wonderful Wednesday" goes
into effect beginning winter
quarter at Emory University.
Quoting Dr. C . Stephens in the
Emory WHEEL of October 20
says, " The object of the ex-
periment is to give each student
a full day in mid-week in which,
free from the routine of class-
es and labs, he may devote him-

Been seeing rats around late-
ly? P.J. Rogers, business ma-
nager, states that he and Otto
the Orkin man are waging a
semi - successful war against
them.

Lumber from the destruction
of a house on recently-acquir-
ed college property was stored
behind the steam plant. When the
buildings on the square in De-
catur were leveled, the pack
rats and wharf rats which re-
sided there migrated to this
lumber pile and a similar one
in Mr. Rogers' back yard.

The lumber was removed as
soon as the rats and snakes,
which migrated to the damp
lumber when a nearby creek
dried up this summer, were
discovered. However, this has
not completely eliminated the
problem.

The Alstons had the same
problem when mice discovered
an abandoned steam line in their
front yard. Mr. Rogers says
that a constant fight for sur-
vival exists between "us and
pests and rodents of all kinds."

self to his own intellectual pur-
suits under his own direction,' "

In other words, girls, Emory
is abolishing classes on Wed-
nesday for winter and spring
quarters of this year. The Leg
islative Council of the College
Faculty unanimously endorsed
"Wonderful Wednesday'* sev-
eral weeks ago.

And though the faculty is un-
animous on the subject, Dean
Stephens stressed that student
groups on the Emory campus
would have to cooperate by not
scheduling their events on Wed-
nesday.

Emory will have a non-activ-
ity day every week. That's just
like our one non-activity week
every quarter only it's dif-
ferent somehow.

"Wonderful Wednesday' is,
however, only an experimental
program. It can be discontin-
ued after spring quarter if it
does not produce its desired re-
sults. " The outcome,' "
Dean Stephens warned, " 'de-
pends on the degree of academic
and personal accomplishment
attained by each student.' "

If Emory does find it neces-
sary to discontinue "Wonderful
Wednesday" after its two quar-
ter experiment, we Scottiescan
all vent our frustrations in a
chorus of loud, fervant I-told-
you-sos. But then, of course,

the Emory students will have
had their glorious four-day-
week for two quarters longer
than any other college around.

The purpose of "Wonderful
Wednesday" is to " 'encour-
age the students to do as much
as they can on their own,' "
said Dean Stephens in conclu-
sion.

Well now. In conclusion here
at ASC, anyone for a few re-
quired lectures (better known
as "classes") on Sunday?

sive. Defensive stick work on
both teams disrupted forward-
line advances.

The second half found Popeye
and Peter Pan pressing for the
one goal that "might just have
won the game." Attempted goals
dented the library's masonry
and goalies' shins but failed to
pass into the cage.

The final whistle called the
scoreless draw, which leaves
the seniors in first place and
the juniors second in the over-
all standings.

From the opening bully in the
sophomore - freshman encoun-
ter, Chris Robin showed his
determination to revenge his
defeat by Raggedy Ann at Black
Cat. Even so, the sophomore

offense broke through the frosh
defense for a goal and led
1-0 at the end of the first half.

Miway through the second
period, the sophomores regis-
tered their second score. But
the freshmen, who refused to
surrender, struck for two goals
in close succession. With four
minutes remaining, the sopho-
mores tried in vain to muster
one tie-breaking goal. The 2-2
deadlock gave the freshmen
their first non-loss of the year.

Spain 'Second Home'
After Junior Year

MOCKINGS FROM RAMONA

In a recent interview for the
PROFILE., Claire McLeod sum-
marized her year in Spain by
saying that it completely broad-
ened her view points of every-
thing. She loved Spain and her
stay there, and described it as
"marvelous"

She said that she soon learn-
ed that she had her own little
job to do in Spain which was
being an ambassador from the
United States. She tried to give
the Spaniards she talked to her
version of the "true Ameri-
can."

CLAIRE MCLEOD RECALLS
junior year in Spain.

This usually involved chang-
ing the view that the United
States is not as powerful and
wealthy as generally thought.
This defense made her love
America even more, she said.

She regards Spain as her
"second home." The pastyear
helped her to understand how the
Spanish people think.

"By feeling the way and gain-
ing their respect, I was able to
become close to many of them."
Most of her friends were Span-
ish, even though she went to
classes with Americans. Her
friends came to regard her as
one of them instead of an Ameri-
can.

'Awakening

Spain is ' an awakening coun-
try" that is coming out of its
depths. Franco, who "has his
own special brand of dictator-
ship and socialism," is doing
much to improve industry, edu-
cation, roads, and other areas.
Life in Spain is pleasant and
not under Franco's iron hand.
The crime rate is so low that it
is safe for a girl to \yalk un-
escorted at night.

in tne larger cities, a middle
class is beginning to develop.
This is due to the emphasis on
education as one main factor.

Students are a part of this
middle class movement as is
shown by the three most popu-
lar degrees: engineering,
architecture, and law. Also,
every student wants an apart-
ment and a car other signs of
a middle class.

Claire found the University of
Madrid very formal. In theory,
she said, there is a superficial
respect for professors and stu-
dents are never allowed to get
to know a professor; however,
this seems to be changing some-
what.

University System

The university system in
Spain is very different from
ours, as a student decides in
high school as to whether he
will go into the school of philo-
sophy and letters or into the
school of science.

Upon entering, a student takes
general courses of the school
and then goes on to a study of
a particular major. Students
of one school never take cour-
ses of the other school.

The amount of work the Span-
ish student has to do is "fan-
tastic." Therefore the empha-
sis is not on grades, but wheth-
er one will pass or fail. If a
student fails, he studies again
until he passes. As a result,
cheating is the norm, not the
exception.

The New York University
group that Clair was with was
different than the usual Spanish
university system in several
ways. The classes were dis-
cussion classes which the Span-
ish professors loved as they
were used to the straight lec-
ture courses.

Letter grades were given so
that credit would be accepted
in American schools. And,
there was no cheating among the
American students who were
really separate from the rest
of the University of Madrid.

Claire stated her only criti-
cism of the Spanish university
system as the amount of work
that Spanish students are given.
She feels that it is too much
and if some of it were cut down,
the cheating might diminish.

Claire concluded by saying
that her year was an "ex-
tremely valuable experience"
which she would gladly do again.

Blackfriars Open'Menagerie]
Drama Critics 9 Best Play

TOM (TERRY KAY) BENDS OVER THE FALLEN LAURA (Paige
Dotson) as Amanda (Cathi Ford) looks on. Blackfriars' production
of "The Glass Menagerie" op-ns tonight.

Partisan Letter
Excites Alumnae

"You'd think they'd have better sense if they went to Agnes
Scott" was the reaction of one alumnae, a supporter of Bo Calla-
way in the recent gubernatorial election, in a casual conver-
sation to another alumna which took place recently, after all.
Georgia ASC alumnae received the following letter.

The letter was on "Callaway for Governor' stationery and
carried a November 1, 1966, date]^^..............^

Dear Agnes Scott Alumna,

As you know, Congressman
Howard H. "Bo" Callaway is

March 31, 1945, The New
York Drama Critics' Circle
voted Tennessee Williams'
"The Glass Menagerie" the
best play of the 1944-1945
broadway season.

Tonight the curtain will rise
on still another production of
William's famous play. This
production is Blackfriars' fall
play which will be presented
Friday night also.

The play has only four char-
acters, two men and two women.
Terry Kay of the Atlanta Journ-
al plays Tom, the "poet with a
job in a warehouse," as Wil-
liams himself says. Williams
goes on to say of Tom that "His
nature is not remorseless, but to
escape from a trap he has to
act without pity."

Tom's "act without pity" is
directed toward his mother,
Amanda, played for Blackfriars
by Cathi Ford. In speaking of
her, Williams says that she is
"a little woman of great but
confused vitality clinging fran-
tically to another time and place
...There is much to admire in
Amanda, and as much to love
and pity as there is to laugh at.
Certainly she has endurance,
and a kind of heroism, and
though her foolishness makes
her unwittingly cruel at times
there is tenderness in her slight
person."

Paige Dotson takes the role
originally played by Julie Hay-
don, that is, the part of Laura,
Tom's crippled younger sister.
One of Laura's legs is slightly
shorter than the other and as
Williams says, "Stemming
from this, Laura's separation
increases until she is like a
piece of her own glass collec-
tion, too exquisitely fragile to
remove from the shelf."

Jim, the Gentleman Caller, is

a thoroughly likeable fellow. He
is Tom's good-natured friend
from the warehouse who comes
for dinner and to call on Laura.
Bill Poulas of Theatre Atlanta
plays this fourth and final role
in the play.

"The Glass Menagerie" will
be presented tonight and to-
morrow night at 8:15 p.m. in
Dana Fine Arts Building. Tic-
kets are $1.25 and all seats are
reserved.

Taylor To Visit Scott,

General Maxwell D. Taylor

November 29. The lecture will
be followed by a reception in
Rebekah Reception Room.

At 6:30 p.m. on the 29th Gen.
Taylor will have dinner with the
Agnes Scott Board of Trustees.

Walter Posey's History 215
class and other interested stu-
dents are invited to participate
in an informal discussion with
General Taylor in Maclean Au-
ditorium, Wednesday morning,
November 30 at 9:30.

Now a special adviser to
President Johnson, Gen. Tay-

running for Governor. What you
might not know is that Mrs.
Callaway, the former Elizabeth
Walton, is an Agnes Scott gra-
duate. Beth majored in math and
chemistry and graduated in
1947. With your support, this
could be the first time that an
Agnes Scott alumna could be
First Lady of Georgia,

Of course, we do not ask you
to vote for Bo Callaway for
Governor simply because his
wife is an alumna. What we hope
you will do, however, is to take
a second look at Mr. Callaway
if you are still undecided.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Mary Beth Little Weston

man

Both supporters and non-sup-
porters of Callaway have react-
ed. Several Maddox suporters

learn more about the letter.

There has been some ques-
tion as to whether the Alumnae
Office even knew about it. Ann

able for comment to the PRO-

Senior Physicist
To Talk On Laser

Henry W. Morgan, senior physicist of the Oak Ridge National
Laboratory will be a guest at Agnes Scott the week after Thanks-
giving.

Mr. Morgan joined the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in 1948
and has conducted and directed research in spectroscopy at the
laboratory since that time. His interest in lasers is a natural
extension of his basic work with spectra.
He has spent some time

abroad presenting his work with
lasers in spectroscopy and, in
fact, the laser which he will
bring with him for the demon-
stration has, itself, traveled ex-
tensively over the continent of
Europe and has even spent some
time behind the iron curtain.

He will lecture to the mem-
bers of the Physics 101 class
at 12:10 p.m. Anyone interest-
ed in the technical aspects of
the laser is invited to attend.

At 4 p.m. in 207 Campbell

Fewer
Negroes
Drop Out

NEW YORK (CPS) Negro
college students have a lower
drop-out rate than even "cream
of the crop" Ivy League under-
graduates, a recent study has
shown.

Drs. Kenneth Clark and Law-
rence Plotkin of the Social Dy-
namics Research Institute at the
City College of New York found
that financial considerations
are the main reason for the
lower Negro drop-out rate.

"The Negro student, on the
threshold of considerable status
and security, is so highly moti-
vated that he more than makes
up for other handicaps", Plot-
kin said.

In contrast, students who lack
this financial motivation ac-
count for a large part of the
four out of ten freshmen who
never finish college.

The affluent student, accord-
ing to Plotkin, proves himself
to his family when he is accep-
ted in a top-ranking college.
Then, away from home for the
first time, he feels a pressure
to "find himself" both intel-
lectually and socially.

"I doubt very much that stu-
dents in the better colleges
flunk out because of lack of
ftbtlity,* 1 Dr. Plotkin said.
"Failure is the symptom
personal factors are the under-
lying attitudinal causes."

"A student who is dissatisfied
with his college life votes against
it by flunking," he added.

words, "Light Amplification
by Stimulated Emission of Rad-
iation," so that makes the whole
business crystal clea-r... but to
whom?," says Marion Clark,
professor of chemistry.

'The essence of any amplifi-
cation process is an arrange-
ment whereby the application of
a small amount of energy con-
trols the flow of a larger (us-
ually much larger) amount of
energy. In the laser a photon
of light controls the emission
of a larger amount of energy in
the form of light radiation,"
he said.

W. Joe Frierson, chairman,
department of chemistry,
states, "Dr. Morgan's lecture
in the afternoon is nontechnical,
and anyone will be able to enjoy
it. No one should hesitate to
come to the lecture because he
feels he lacks the basic physical
background."

Actually none of the physical
principles involved in laser ac-
tion are new, according to Mr.
Clark; it was their proper com-
bination that showed the touch of
genius.

In 1960, T. H. Maiman, a
physicist for Hughes Aircraft
Company, achieved the first
flattened, polished and silvered,
and within three years, between
four and five hundred groups in
university, industrial and mili-
tary laboratories were collec-
tively spending upwards of thir-
ty million dollars investigating
this new kind of light, methods
of producing it and useful appli-
cations of it.

According to Lawrence Lass-
ing in an article in FORTUNE,
June 1963, "No technical de-
velopment in recent times has

much basic promise." NEWS-

Winship
Initiates
Bed Check

Following hot on the heels of
the dorm search controversy, a
new form of search has been
initiated. Last Saturday night
Winship had a bed check.

About an hour after late time
limit, 1 a.m., a nightwatchman
saw three girls leave the dorm
by a terrace door and walk down
the street. He chose to go im-
mediately to the Dean's Office,
rather than to follow the fugi-
tives.

lone Murphy, senior resident,
was awakened and she roused
the dorm Judicial representa-
tives. They discovered that one
of the outside doors, onto the
terrace was unlocked and held
open by a small piece of paper.

Miss Murphy suggested that
a fire drill would be an effec-
tive, and unobvious, means of
checking to see that everyone
was in the building.

The Judicial people, however,
preferred the less noisy and
more sneaky method of opening
the door of each room and mak-
ing certain there was someone
in each bed.

The search was conducted be-
tween 2 and 3 a.m. and it was
discovered that every bed was
occupied. The supposed es-
capees were not found in the
surrounding neighborhood.

The results do not necessari-
ly show, however, that every
resident of the dorm was pres-
ent, since there were many vis-
itors spending the night in Win-
ship.

Furthermore, at least one
door that had been locked for
the night was not unlocked.

One Winship resident com-
mented, "This just shows that
yet another area of our privacy
has been invaded."

German Singer To Give
Folk Music Concert

Karl Wolfram, lutenistsin-
ger, will present a concert
Monday. Sponsored by the Ger-
man department, Wolfram is
well-known throughout Europe,
North and South America.

His concert will consist of
Germanic folk songs covering
four centuries, including epoch

ballards, ancient love songs,
songs of the Landsknechte
(mercenary soldiers) and a se-
lection of original medieval ly-
rical poems by Walter vonder-
Vogelweide, Oswald von Wal-
kenstein and other bards of the
Middle Ages.

He will use three instruments
-a therbo, which is an ancient
lute-like instrument with se-
venteen strings, a theorbic al-
to lute and a vielle, a rare
stringed instrument common to
the 10th - 13th centuries.

The concert will be sung
entirely in German and Scan-
dinavian tongues with English
introductions by Wolfram as
well as extensive printed pro-
gram notes in English.

Wolfram has been praised
for his large repertoire, lin-
guistic ability and voice.

The concert will be Novem-
ber 21 at 8:15 p.m. in Presser.

Alumnae Letter

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)
At least one letter in answer
was sent to Mrs. Weston, Mrs.
Edge, and Miss Johnson. The
writer said that the letter would
have accomplished its purpose
if the signatures had not been
accompanied by the positions of
the signers.

This alumna agreed that it
would be good to have an ASC
alumna as first lady, but called
it "byond the bounds of pro-
priety" to use elected alumnae
position and access to class
rolls for partisan purposes.

Attention was called to the
fact the Mrs. Weston is not even
a resident of Georgia, but ra-
ther lives in New York.

A reliable source has informed
the PROFILE that a few alumnae
see nothing wrong with the letter,
many are irritated, and some en-
raged.

One alumnae angered by the
letter showed it to a friend who
favored Callaway but who re-
marked, "I think that if I had
gotten such a letter as that, it
might have turned me against
him."

"Reporting from the Elec-
tronic Computer Center, this is
Election Night, 1966." Yes,
from the hours of 8 p.m. to 2
a.m. November 8, 1966 I was
witness to news in the making.
The Computer Center is a cen-
tral place for the collecting and
distributing of ele ction infor-
mation.

I was there along with rep-
resentatives from the NBC,
CBS, ABV networks, the AP
and UPI news services and WSB
radio. I was the copy girl for
one of the major TV networks;
actually there was nothing
glamorous about my job, but it
was exciting to hear on the
radio the very information that
I had just delivered to my news
desk.

Election returns and analysis
were the business of the night.
We were all partisan in some
manner, but this night we cheer-
ed not for candidates but for a
repaired DeKalb computer and
returns from key counties that
that were slow reporting. We
groaned when country county
officials stopped counting be-
fore completing all their bal-
lots and when DeKalb's compu-
ter broke again, because that
meant a very late departure
from the center.

There was no break down in
the communications or proced-
ures at the Center. Telephone
reports were taken in an in-
famous back room and then
punched on computer cards.
Each news desk reo ived a car-

bon copy of these telephone re-
ports. Every 5 to 10 minutes the
computer produced a printout
compiled from these prelimi-
nary reports.

These printouts contained the
latest totals and percentages by
counties for each candidate in
the Governor's race and in the
Congressional races. It was my
job to deliver these prelimi-
nary reports and printouts to
our desk. Consequently, I have
become adequate in responding
to cow bells and avoiding swift-
ly moving blurs of bodies.

The telephone reports and
printouts came endlessly, per-
haps the largest amount from
8:30 through 11:00. It seemed
the machines never tired, only
my feet did. Amazingly, the
WSB radio announcers broad-
casting Election Night 1966
from a very open and accessi-
ble room in the Center never
showed signs of faltering or of
fatigue.

The joke of the evening was
the early (One prior to 8:00
p.m.) predictions of the national
television networks that Maddox
would win without a run-off. It
was obvious, even to the copy
runners, that the Governor's
election could go either or
neither way as was the result.
The network computers were
obviously not as sophisticated in
their analysis as the astute
minds that were congregated in
Computer Headquarters. The
moral to this story: tired feet
win out over the flawless ma-
chines after all.

Faculty Approves Ivy League

Education Study Elects First

PAGE 3 NOVEMBER 17, 1966 . THE PROFILE

A proposed study by a joint student-faculty committee was
passed by the faculty at its meeting last week. The proposal
came in the form of a letter drawn up and approved by Rep-
resentative Council. It was accompanied by a list of concerns,
that is areas where Rep Council feels the committee should
look in its investigation. The list is composed of suggestions
made at a recent Rep Council meeting by the members and put
into its final form by the student government officers when
Rep Council could not raise a quorum for its weekly meeting
last week.

The letter and list was read at
the faculty meeting; professor
of chemistry W. Joe Frierson
moved that it be accepted by
unanimous consent, which it
was.

The letter from Rep Council
to the faculty is as follows:
To the Faculty:

The past years have witnes-
sed much devoted effort to im-
prove the life of the student on
campus, primarily in the area
of social concern. The energy
with which we approached these
tasks has, I think, been nota-
ble. There is,
however, still much more in this
area which can be achieved, but
it will come as times and peo-
ple change.

We chose "Emergence" as
our theme for the year with
great care to signify what we
believed to be a movement to-
ward more meaningful and long-
range goals. Representative
Council decided they would like
to de-emphasize legislation in
favor of coordination and con-
versation in working together
with other boards towards a
common goal.

With our present system,
however, we cannot help getting
bogged down in a certain amount
of trivia. Yet, throughout this,
there remains a strong tone of
optimism about the direction of
the year. With this comes a
new awareness of the possibili-
ties and responsibilities that
face each students in her con-
frontation with higher educa-
tion.

We see student government
becoming "students" involved
in many concerns, only of which
is government. The major con-
cern for the ear is that if high-
er education our education,
and we hope that this concern
will continue in the coming
years. We recognize a need to
make our educational exper-
ience more relevant and more
meaningful. It is a need which
we feel is consistent with the
academic nature of this campus.

We need to discover what IS
relevant in the educational ex-
perience. We need to discover
what things are central and what
peripheral to our task. We want
to re-examine the picture of the
traditional passive student, that
receives rather than discovers.
We want to define the role of the
student in the educational pro-
cess. Finally, what is most dif-
ficult, we want to see that the
needs and concerns of each in-
dividual are being met, and to
involve the entire campus in

Girl Prexy

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (CPS)
In a last-minute political
coup, a University of Pennsyl-
vania coed has broken into the
ranks and become the first fe-
male student body president in
the Ivy League.

When Barbara Berger met
with Milton Block in September
they agreed to throw the elec-
tion for the presidency of their
to-be-merged women's and
men's student governments to
Block.

In the interim, however, Block
turned out to be a less than in-
spiring men's president (he has
not been able to muster a quor-
um in three weeks). Miss Ber-
ger decided last week to make it
a real race after all and allied
her women with the men's op-
position party. The last minute
coalition boosted her to a 25-
14 victory.

our understanding.

This is no doubt a monumen-
tal task. It involves a clearer,
more realistic perception of the
entire campus community and
the educational process how
student and faculty perceive it.
Accuracy here is, I realize, a
major issue, but it must be re-
membered that these percep-
tions define a reality of their
own a base from which one
must move.

If a group has enough integ-
rity to make a contribution, it
must have enough integrity to
organize. This is what I ask
you to do to join with us in tak-
ing a serious and critical look
at the educational process on
our campus.

I ask your support for a joint
faculty- student committee to
set up a dialogue which will I
hope not only prove fruitful to
us as individuals but also will
make a lasting contribution to
future students and the college
as a whole.

We are not asking for unqual-
ified freedom in the academic
realm, but unqualified honesty.
We are trying to be honest about
ourselves and self responsible
about the situation as we pe-
ceive it. We are willing to de-
vote our energies and serious-
ness to the task ahead, but we
cannot begin without your con-
cerns and your support.

Sincerely,

Lynne Wilkins,

President of Student
Government

Rep Council Lists
Education Concerns

Here are the concerns which accompanied the Rep Council letter
to the facultv

We are concerned that we as students do not think about what we
want from an education (i.e. we have no philosophy of education).

We are concerned that our intellectual endeavor is sporatic
and not deep- seeded.

We are concerned that we are not interested in knowledge as an
organic whole.

We are concerned that we are often immature in our choice of
curriculum and base our choice on personality factors, etc.

We are concerned about the problem of pressure, where it comes
from, and what we can do about it.

We are concerned that we do not take advantage of chapels, lec-
tures, and outside opportunities already offered.

We are concerned about our own lack of scholarly discipline.

We are concerned that our education often becomes four years
of fragmentation.

We are concerned that we do not often attempt to establish
"intellectual" relationships with the faculty.

We are concerned that we do not always take an active interest
in prerequisites and requirements.

We are concerned about the classroom situation because of our
own failure to get out of the classroom situation what we should.

We are not criticizing the system as much as ourselves for our
own failure to contribute to the possibility of a meaningful educa-
tion.

We are interested in discussing possibilities of changes in inde-
pendent study, course requirements, schedules, classroom struc-
ture, etc., and of more flexibility within the present system.

These are not necessarily suggestions for changes but sugges-
tion for discussion in the hope that they may help provide us
with some broader insights and answers to the problems as we
see them.

Wednesday Casuals

by Joy

Reactions to the Wednesday
Night Casuals are mixed. Re-
sponse ranges from real ex-
citement and enthusiasm,
largely from the freshmen, to
hesitation and even some dis-
appointment. The main reser-
vations are that the students
have difficulty in meeting and
talking to boys they do not
know. But, according to Social
Council, the Wednesday Night
Casuals themselves are to be
an effort to provide an informal
atmosphere where girls can
meet and talk to boys without
the pressure of the blind date
or the rush party.

Candy Gerwe, President of
Social Council says, "It is dif-
ficult to 'plan' something cas-

the 41 letters she received from
Clemson last Saturday.

Clemson
Returns
Favor

Clemson strikes backl After
Agnes Scott's heroic rescue
of White Knight Bill James
from the dragon (his room-
mate) in the mail contest (score:
Bill-72, Noel-13), grateful let-
ters have poured into the ASC
mailroom.

Bill's final letter total was
60, including two from girls in
Maryland who heard of his plight
through friends at Scott. The
latest word is that Columbia
College and Greenville Hospital
nurses plan to come to his
roommate's rescue.

Bill has tried to answer every
letter with a return address, but
admits that his piles of "an-
swered" and "unanswered" be-
came confused when various
Clemsonites begged to read the
letters.

Surprised Scottie of the Week
was Vicki Hutcheson, who re-
ceived 41 letters in her box
Saturday. Bill's Clemson
friends chose her to answer
en masse. Our only question is,
"Vicki, what did you say that
the rest of us left out?"

ual and spontaneous; there's an
element of risk involved. But
I think I speak for the members
of the Board in saying that the
first two casuals were quite
successful.

"The boys, especially, were
enthusiastic, and that's the most
encouraging factor of all. One
thing: if this school (and not
only Social Council) is going
to be hostess to a group of
boys, we cannot expect them to
make the first move, because
they often do not feel enough at
ease on this campus to do so.

"We are perhaps victims of
habit being so accustomed to
blind-dates that we tend to for-
get our own obligation to make
the boys feel at home. But this
really is our obligation, and I
would like to see more girls
relax, and help the boys relax -
invite the boys to play cards,
watch television, etc."

In spite of reservations, the
majority of the reactions have
been favorable. All of the girls
interviewed have said that the
Wednesday Night Casuals
should be continued and approve
of the basic purpose. Some of
the reactions are as follows:

Claudia Holler, sophomore -
"I think it was necessary and
good for the Social Council to
be there to introduce the girls
to the boys. The second one
was better because there were
more people there who could
make these introductions."

Patsy May, sophomore - "It
would have been better if the
boys had been taller and more
available."

Judy Williams, Junior - "I'm
shy, so I didn't go."

Barbara Ayers, sophomore -
"I think it's a good idea. It's
like not being at a girl's school
for one night a week."

Cathy Chandler, freshman -
"I really do think that they
should be continued. They're
definitely 'in'. And all my
friends think so too.

And, even the boys seem to
agree. Overheard on Wednes-
day night:

"I think it's a good thing.
It's nice to know that not all
Scott girls look like 'blind
dates'."

"This is great! But I thought
you were have the Hot Nuts."

One boy even suggested that
Social Council go in with Tech
and Emory to occasionally get
a band on Wednesday night.

Another commented that
some of the boys would like to
come out and bring their gui-
tars - for an added attraction.

Social Council will have Wed-
nesday Night Casuals again next
quarter. And, it looks like the
Casuals will not be replaced by
pantie raids after all.

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are

HEW

Scattered throughout the campus and
throughout the past several days (Novem-
ber 8-9) signs of Honor Emphasis week,
days, or hour s- -whatever the committee
choses to call it--have flourished, pro-
claiming the event and the realization of
the annual pause to concentrate on per-
sonal honor. The approach and emphasis
this year was one of examination and spe-
culation on the possibilities and probabi-
lities of an honor system in any given
society, working directly toward discus-
sion on the merits, the structure, and the
fallacies of our honor system.

The Wednesday convocation proved to be
the height of the honor emphasis activities.
Whether or not this feature was intended
to be the backdrop for future events or the
highlight itself is unknown and unimportant;
but the stimulation and well-groomed read-
ing from Lord of the Flies almost made
further efforts anti-climactic.

The Hub discussion faced all the dis-
advantage of any Hub discussion of its
kind: lack of attendance, interested but
silent participants, etc. However, an added
faculty member well-versed in matters
of philosophy --the discussion of honor tend-
ed to move a little deep--or a word from
a person stating the psychological aspects
of personal honor might have perked the
panel and the discussion. On the other
hand, the experiment with a panel com-
posed completely of students of alumnae
helped to keep the discussion channeled
down the lines most pertinent at Agnes
Scott. But a little variety may help fu-
ture panels.

Viewing the emphasis "day s" as a whole,
one tends to detect a slight degree of dis-
organization. The speculation was interest-
ing, but a guide toward proposals for more
clarity, keener perspective, and more af-
fective application of the honor system
and a movement from the philosophical
and idealistic to the tangible and realistic
would have added force and concreteness
to the emphasis.

No one admits that honor is an easy
topic with which to deal, especially here
at Agnes Scott. The effectiveness and
strength of the honor system lie in the
degree to which each student upholds and
practices her personal honor. The honor
emphasis, if nothing else, dusted a few
cob webs from the long-evacuated thoughts
of honor which have lain dormant within
the minds of many students. And this in
itself is a mark of achievement.

Raid Revisited

A recent issue of the PROFILE ran a
story on Tech's abortive panty raid. The
article carried a headline with the words
"Police Brutality". The phrase was not
intended seriously, nor did we ever ima-
gine that it would be so interpreted since
the story contained nothing serious.

However, it was thought in some quar-
ters that we were serious and we have
been requested to prove the ''charge" or
print a retraction. Here it is. If there were
any real brutality to, and we know of none,
we certainly would have said something
more positive that a mere ambiguous head-
line. It is too bad that our intended humor
was missed.

So Long, Farewe

This will probably be the last PROFILE
this quarter. The calendar and the bank
book are forcing us into temporary silence.
We therefore think this an appropriate time
to comment on what has happened on these
pages this quarter. On the whole, we are
pleased. We feel that we have reported
controversy and delved into areas pre-
viously untapped with good results. Some
of what we have said has itself created
controversy, although that is not always
our intent.

We do not claim perfection; we have
made mistakes. Yet neither do we claim
perfection for our readership. Our chief
complaint is that some criticism has been
misdirected. We see no reason why the
student body president should receive the
criticism of the paper that should go to the
paper itself.

Most of this criticism has come about
from the serious misinterpretation of ar-
ticles intended to be humorous. As stu-
dents we all are often encourage to main-
tain a sense of humor, especially winter
quarter. We have a sense of humor and
we do not intend to lose it, especially win-
ter quarter. Nor do we intend to decrease
our serious investigation of the life and
times of Agnes Scott, 1966-67.
See you next year. c i n

Computer
Seminar

Offered

by Ann Hunter
One of the new opportunities
at Scon this year is a Com-
puter Seminar. This is available
to us as a result of Pnil Rein-
hart's planning. Having taken
a course at Tech last year, he
thought a similar course at
Scott would be valuable. Enough
people ve re interested, so, for
a slight fee, anyone in the cam-
pus community fee late Tues-
day and Thursday afternoons
may learn to write his own pro-
grams under the instruction of
Walter S. Fleming.
Mr. Fleming, a Tech gra-
duage, is soon to receive the
Ph.D. in chemistry. In addi-
tion to research work on calcu-
lating molecular properties,
Mr. Fleming also does pro-
gramming and teaches various
computer courses. He admitted
a little nervousness when first
facing a class full of gjrls,
buy says he won't know how
the response is until he tries
to run the programs.

Numerically the response is
enthusiastic for a non-credit
course - two or three faculty
members and about fifteen stu-
dents. However, venturing forth
into the Algol "language" may
prove to be quite an undertak-
ing.

Rep Council Debates
Day Student Question

"Psst! Who should I vote for
for day student chairman?. .
OK, but who is she anyway?"

It would be embarrassing to
know exactly how many times
this question was asked during
elections last spring by both
boarding and day students. It
seems only logical that the per-
son elected to represent a cam-
pus body should know and be
known by those whom she rep-
resents.

But under our present elec-
tion code many students know
nothing about the people they
elect, and they don't bother to
find out anything because the
person elected will not be rep-
resenting the whole student body
anyway.

The day student officers are
being elected by the boarding
students. It's a fact which can-
not be overlooked. Of course,
boarding students have only
one-half vote in the election of
day student officers. But, there
are approximately seven hun-
dred boarding students; at one-
half vote apiece they cast 350
votes for day student officers
as opposed to the 50 whole votes
cast by the day students them-
selves. Three hundred votes is
enough to swing any election I
So the boarding students do have
the final say in the election of
day student officers, most of
whom they don't even know I

The re-organization commit-
tee of rep council, in conjunc-
tion with Louise Sickle (the
present day student chairman)
made a study of the situation
and proposed a solution.

The main points of this pro-
posal follows: 1) the day stu-
dent chairman will be elected
by the day students exclusively;
2) the day student judicial rep-
resentative will be a junior or
senior who has been a day stu-
dent for at least one school
year before her election and
will be elected by the student
body as a wholej 3) the hand-
book editor will be a junior At-
lanta area student appointed by
the president of student govern-
ment.

It may seem unusual that the

by Lou Frank
actions about the judicial rep-
resentative and handbook edi-
tor were included in one bill
with the day student chairman,
but the necessity for these sec-
tions arose from the discussion
of the original proposal. Even
though the day student judicial
repressntative is representing
only the day students, she votes
in all cases, including those
concerning boarding students.

Therefore, it seemed best
that the student body have some
voice in her election. As the
proposal indicates, the day stu-
dents are protected from having
a judicial representative whom
they do not know by the stipu-
lation that she must have been a
day student for at least one
school year before her election.

As to the handbook editor,
this is a highly complicated sit-
uation. The present policy pro-
vides that the day student chair-
man edit the handbook, but this
is a little ridiculous. The day
student chairman is elected in
the spring to compile and pub-
lish a handbook on which some-
one else has been working for
three quarters. Last spring the
president of student govern-
ment and day student chairman
spent two weeks, after every-
one else left the campus, com-
piling and editing our handbook.

Under the new proposal a

girl will be appointed in the
spring quarter of her sopho-
more year to be the handbook
editor for the next year. She
will be associate editor of the
handbook that is already being
prepared, giving her some nec-
essary experience; she will be
editor for the next school year
(her junior year) and serve un-
til her book is published. As
the appointed handbook editor
she will be an advisory mem-
ber of rep council.

The position was opened to
all Atlanta area students, rath-
er than day students only, to al-
low a larger cross-section of
the student body the opportun-
ity to hold this position. The
majority of rep council felt that
she could fulfill her responsi-
bilities just, as well being an
appointed member as she could
being an elected, voting mem-
ber of rep council.

This is the proposal as the
student body will receive it.
However, it will be open for
discussion and amendment in
the forum. The student body as
a whole must approve it.

If you don't like something
about the proposal (or, if you
don't like the proposal at all),
say something in the open for-
um about it. The efficient op-
eration of student government
as a representative unit depends
upon the students' utilization of
the channels provided.

Letters To The Editor

Plowden
Disgusted By

Flippancy

Dear Editor:

The flippant manner in which
you rejected, or rather pushed
aside, the excellent and con-
structive criticism offered by
Mrs. Esther M. Fuller in the
letter printed November 10, is
disgusting.

Sincerely,
Vicki Plowden

You may be interested to know
that Mrs. Fuller and I have
carried on a delightful private
correspondence concerning her
letter. Her criticism on the
whole may well be "excellent"

Regrets

Criticism

Dear Editor:

Several weeks ago I read a
letter to you in the PROFILE
concerning the compulsory
Wednesday convocation in rela-
tion to mandatory worship ser-
vices. My concern, however,
deals not with the question of
the validity of required worship
nor with the student body's ga-
thering for fifteen minutes of
announcements and song, when
no speaker is scheduled. How-
ever, I regret the comments
slanted toward Dr. Alston. I
fear that sometimes we aim our
criticisms of school policies,
practices, or traditions unwitt-
ingly at those who are connect-
ed with these personally disap-
proved practices and not at the
practice per se.

On the other hand, I have no-
ticed that, inspite of the fact
that Dr. Alston spends energy,
time and concentrated effort
in working directly with stu-
dents, promoting individual stu-
dent projects, and coordinating
school activities, he receives a
minimum of student recognition.

I recommend that the student
body be particularly careful

not to imply undue criticism
of nor to project unnecessary
blame on Dr. Alston for acti-
vities which themselves should
be the source of criticism. That
a person is associated with a
perhaps unnecessary or un-
wanted practice does not always
imply that he is responsible
for it.

I eagerly support improve-
ment and the saving of wasted
minutes; I equally encourage
a direct approach to basic
structure, not to personnel.

Student
Offers Aid

Editor:

The student newspaper here
at Birmingham-Southern has an
exchange program with the Pro-
file and occasionally I have an
opportunity to see a copy of
your newspaper. Glancing over
the issue of November 4 I was
gravely concerned to read of the
extraordinary measures taken
by the Scott administration to
combat the recent visitation of
a number of Georgia Tech men.
As a participant and observer
of pantie raids which have oc-
curred at Southern in recent
years, I am interested in the
perpetuation and expansion of
this truly unique American in-
stitution. Fear notl the Arch-
fiends of Officialdom can be
foiled. Therefore if the con-
tents of this missive can be
called to the attention of the
proper individuals at Tech,
perhaps we here at BSC can
lend some assistance to the
noble Cause.

Yours very truly,

Name-Calling

Dear Editor,

I was accused the other day
of being prostudent, but one
cannot let bad names stop him
from writing. Actually the stu-
dents are much too cunning
and sly for anyone to have
much sympathy for them. Upon

meeting a student the other
day, I exclaimed, "Here's the
student who cut my class on
Saturday," She replied, "I
didn't cut; I was out of town
for a football game!"

There is a widespread be-
lief among the students that
premediated cutting is okay,
whereas impulsive cutting is
inexcusable. The wise student
will not generalize these be-
liefs and attitudes to the out-
side world, however, for if
this was murder, she would
get the chair.

Five Seniors

Chastise

Ramona

Dear Editor,

Please tell Ramona that we
have been disappointed with her
letters lately. We know she's
only a sophomore, but perhaps
the English Department could
be induced to take her on as a
special student in a directed
writing course, or maybe she
could have a fling at Informal
Prose (no, it seems she has
already mastered that). We
are afraid that in her present
Sturm und Drang period she has
made some rather recondite,
occult, esoteric references and
has been quite fulsome, over-
much, and redundant. We sin-
cerely hope she will get through
this stormy time and will soon
have a second spring.

Sincerely,

Five concerned seniors:
Linda Marks, Ann Rob-
erts, Carole Robertson,
Kathey Stubbs, and Poppy
ilson

Mockings From Ramona

Dearest Mom,

Please forgive my hurried,
esoteric postcard, and do for-
give me for forgetting to put
the stamp on it. I know it must
have been a bother to have to
go to the Bughill Post Office to
pay the 4, and I reckon it
was a let-down after all the
trouble. At least you noticed my
penmanship has improved.

About the wild evening I men-
tioned-I'll let Linda Marks and
Poppy Wilson explain about Ma-
ma Fifi and the Earl routine
when you meet them Sophomore
Parents' Weekend.

The reason I haven't written
much lately is because I've
been in a slump-it is that year,
you know. And when Dr. Chang
gave us the definition of sopho-
more at Senior Investiture, I
realized it really does fit me.
I'm in high spirits now, though,
because I've only go 4 tests and
2 papers due before Thanks-
giving (don't despair, Mom, I'll
do o.k. I've cut down on extra-
curricular activities. For ex-
ample, I didn't practice hockey
last week).

In spite of having tons of work,
I have been having fun lately.
I got a lot of laughs from the
election returns. I heard of one
precinct where the voting was
interrupted for a few minutes
when somebody yelled out from
her booth, "How do you spell
Ellis?"

The highlight of the quarter
was going to the Georgia Tech
Homecoming with my liberal
friend, George Maddox. He gave
up Cassandra and started dat-
ing me again when she unwitt-
ingly said she liked him be-
cause he was always right.

We went early to see the
wreck parade, and by some
fluke ended up in it. George's
car, which is a '32 ford, conk-
ed out shortly after we got on
campus. I slipped into the dri-
ver's seat to hold the brake
while he got out to crank it.
Just as he started it, I looked
up to wave to Jane McCurdy,
who looked like she needed
a ride (She looked stunning,
but appeared to be a little
tired from walking. I think her
date had gotten her to run in
the cake race.).

Anyway, my foot slipped off
the brake, I lurched forward,
and George came running be-
hind. I drove up on one lawn
and through a homecoming dis-
play. The car was a little dif-
ficult to steer.

As I cut through a parking
lot and rounded a corner, I
saw the streets lined with
people. I knew the car looked
silly with a lion across the
hood, two yellow jackets flying
from the antenna, and a sign
lighting up periodically saying
"Sting the lions", but I didn't
think I'd attract a crowd that
big. Then I realized I was in
the parade.

I got great cheers from the
crowd. They were all chanting,
"1 love a parade," I guess
they thought I represented one
of the co-ed groups. Anyway,
George finally caught up with me
just as the car conked out again
at the finish line. I think I
would have won the prize for
most original if I hadn't been
disqualified for not register-
ing in the contest before hand.

After the excitement the game
seemed a little anti-climactic
but I'm glad Tech won. I'm
secretly hoping someone is go-
ing to ask me to go to the Orange
Bowl.

After the game it took us an
hour to get the car started.
This time I cranked it. We then
went to dinner at the old Heidle-
berg. I saw Jane and her date
again. They were trying to hurry
so they could go see The Man
Who Came to Dinner, Drama
Tech's presentation. Apparent-
ly their waitress had gone to
dinner (at another restaurant),
because she has mysteriously
disappeared after taking their
order an hour earlier. Poor
Jane was clawing the napkin.

We rounded off the evening
by going to see Alfie*Mom,
Michael Caine is my new all-
time-favorite. By the time we
got back to Scott, I was ready
to mutiny and go see the movie
again.

I must run work on publicity
signs for the upcoming Hockey
Playday. I'm not sure why
they didn't ask me to parti-
cipate as a player.

Can't wait to see you Thanks-
giving.

Love,
Ramona

Judson,Salem ToParticipate
In HockeyPlayday Saturday

Hockey at Agnes Scott usual-
ly means the Friday games be-
tween classes. But this Satur-
day, November 19, players
chosen from all four teams will
represent Scott in a playday
against units from Judson and
Salem Colleges.

The first-round games will
be held Saturday morning begin-
ning at 10:30. The finals and a
consolation round will start that
afternoon at 2 p.m.

Besides the playday on Satur-
day and the regular class games
on Friday, there is a possibility
that a group of players from
West Georgia College will be on

campus tomorrow to practice
with the Scott team and to ob-
serve the playday games. If
West Georgia does send a team,
the practice scrimmage will be
held tomorrow afternoon at 2
p.m.

According to Gail Livingston,
Athletic Association hockey
manager, Judson (located in
Marion, Alabama) is "gung-
ho" hockey and enthusiastic
about the playday. Gail expects
the Salem team, from Winston-
Salem, North Carolina, to be
good competition.

ASC's players were chosen
from the members of the class
squads by the team captains and
Llewelyn Wilburn of the physi-
cal education department.
These girls will be divided into

two equal units, each one to
compete in the playday.

On offense, the following
players were selected: Seniors
Kathy Stubbs, Day Gilmer,
Kathy Mason and Louise Wat-
kins; Juniors Bronwyn DuKate,
Gue Pardue, Eleanor McCallie
and Zolly Zollicoffer; Sopho-
mores Evelyn Angeletti and Sal-
ly Rayburn; Freshmen Ann
Marquess and Elizabeth Crum.

Defensive players include the
following: Seniors Sheila Ter-
rill, Linda Cooper and Mary
Helen Goodloe; Juniors Lucy
Rose, Gail Livingston, Susan
Johnson and Judy Williams;

Sophomores Adelaide Sams and
Carol Blessing; Freshmen

Set For
Holidays

Juniors and seniors will have
an opportunity for career inter-
views with over 100 Georgia
employers during the Christ-
mas holidays.

The Georgia State Chamber of
Commerce is arranging this
program for the convenience of
students and employers. The
Chamber is interested in re-
taining in Georgia well-quali-
fied young people who might
secure employment in another
state, according to Charles R.
Yates, Chamber president. "We
don't want to lose tis talent,"
he said.

The meetings will be at the
Marriott Motor Hotel December
28 and 29.

Interested juniors and se-
niors should write for infor-
mation on participating com-
panies and the procedure invol-
ved in scheduling interviews
to "Careers in Georgia Place-
ment" Committee, Georgia
State Chamber of Commerce,
1200 Commerce Building, At-
lanta, Georgia 30303.

The letter should include the
student's name, home address,
college, and degree sought.

Honor

Players

by Evelyn Angeletti

Each week two of four hockey
players of the week are select-
ed for their performances in the
previous week's games. Until
this year, these players have
been chosen by Athletic As-
sociaton's representative to the
PROFILE staff.

But in an attempt to enhance
the status of this honor, three
members of the physical edu-
cation department have agreed
to select the competitors.
Theses instructors, Llewllyn
Wilburn, Kate McKemie and
Kay Manuel, coaches and
the game referees. They are
in a positon to know players'
potentials and to evaluate indi-
vidual efforts in the weekly
contests.

Hockey is a team sport. And
the players of the week are
chosen for their ability to
work as individual players with
their teammates in effort, atti-
tude and skill.

Players chosen in the past
weeks include Sheila Terrill,
Ann Marquess, Carol Blessing
and Garnett Bowers. For last
Friday's games, the instruc-
tors have selected Susan John-
son, Gail Livingston, Sally Ray-
burn and Elizabeth Crum.

Popeye's pair of Susan and
Gail merited selection for their
defensive work, particularly
ball control and passing. Eli-
zabeth and Sally were chos-
en because of their timing and
positioning in offensive plays.

Assets Worth
Eight Million

Agnes Scott has over eight
and a quarter million dollars
invested in its physical assets
of land, buildings, furnishings,
and teaching equipment. Six
million, eight thousand dollars
is the current value of the build-
ings and land without furnishing
and equipment.

The college owns 76 acres of
land and 61 houses and build-
ings. This property extends
along Candler Street to Han-
cock. It is fairly continuous
on the west side of Candler,
but is spotted on the east side.

Along South .McDonough
Agnes Scott owns an almost
solid plot of land to David Street
on the east side, but its pro-
perty is scattered on the west
side.

The college's budget allows
for a certain amount f pro-
perty acquisition for each year
of development.

P.J. Rogers, business mana-
ger, states that there is a dire
need for more parking space.
He says thatthe property on the
corner of Ansley and South Mc-
Donough will definitely be made
into a parking lot.

Flood Strikes Again,

2nd Main

by Ruth

The bathroom on Second Main
East is unique in that it has a
haunted toilet, which turns it-
self on in the middle of the night
and begins flush, flush, flushing
away to itself. This is rather
unusual in light of the fact that
none of the other johns can be
flushed at all.

Saturday night this Evil John
outdid itself. A sophomore,
even in her chronic sophomore
stupor, noticed something
amiss, and was heard banging
upon her Senior Resident's door
and shrieking, "Helpl Waterl
Water 1 Helpl Now cometh

Noah's Flood but don't

worry, the animals are safe..'

The valiant Senior Resident,
clad in the latest of pink robes
tastefully embroidered with red
roses, etc., and armed with
coathangers and bottle brushes,
battled the rising waters with
superhuman strength. The
sophomore yelled encouraging
remarks from herperchon top
of the radiator, and dissuaded
two seniors from getting their
surf-boards out of the attic.

Meanwhile, the Evil John
sniggered and began sending out
a continuous geyser approxi-
mately 3 feet high. Things be-
gan to look rather damp for the
DO directly below, but then the
noble Senior Resident showed
the mettle of which ASC Dean
Staffers are made. Leaping

'All Wet'

Everett

into an adjoining stall, she be-
gan flushing with might and
main, and the Evil John subsid-
ed somewhat.

However, when she paused for
breath, it started up again, so
this HEROIC woman stood and
flushed it for 16 MINUTES
STRAIGHT 1 1 The sophomore
maintained an awe silence in
the face of such unselfish devo-
tion to duty.

At last, the Angel of the Lord,
personified by Messr. Plumber
and Friend, came to her res-
cue. Making mystical signs
with his screwdriver, he grap-
pled with the Evil John and sub-
dued it. There was a fero-
cious snort and one last defiant
spurt, and the spirit in the John
went down the drain, hopefully
never to return. A peaceful
silence reigned; the waters
subsided. She stood ankle-
deep in water; a rainbow
stretched from sink to sink.

The Senior Resident and the
Plumber shook hands and left,
promising that the Evil John
would have a frontal lobotomy
on Monday. But the sophomore
stayed on, sitting on top of the
radiator to write it all down.
She wanted something to tell
her grandchildren, and after,
"The Night of the Evil John"
sounds much more impressive
than "The Night the Tech Boys
Failed Again".

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

During this hearing Gen.Tay-
lor stressed his belief that the
war is necessary and has only
limited means and ends. The
objective of the U.S. is not ' the
occupation of all South Vietnam
or the hunting down of the last
armed guerrilla," but the na-
tion's independence and free-
dom from attack.

Gen. Taylor also stressed
that a secondary aim is the dis-
couragement of future Com-
munist attempts to swallow
weak nations which are vulner-
able to subversive aggression.

If the U.S. does not resist
the Communist threat in Viet-
nam, then, Gen. Taylor be-
lieves, we will have to resist it
somewhere closer to home.
Therefore, the abandonment of
these people would be disas-
trous.

During the Congressional
hearing senators questioned
Gen. Taylor about the positions
of Russia and Communist China
in relation to the Vietnamese
war.

It was Gen. Taylor's belief
that Russia is for peace because
she has nothing to gain in that
part of the world.

As for China, Gen.Taylordid
not believe that the Vietnamese
war would lead to a general war
with the Chinese.

Some Risk

He explained that there is al-
ways some risk, "but when
you look at the problems of
China, there are enormous pop-
ulation food problems, their ex-
treme vulnerability to air at-
tack, the fact that they can't af-
ford to have their own strength
diminished in relation to the
Soviet Union with whom they
are engaged in a bitter compe-
tition..* It seems to me that the
likelihood of deliberate mili-
tary involvement in confronta-
tion of the United States on the
part of Peking is unlikely."

However, even with full-scale
war unlikely Gen.Taylordid not
"see any quick solution." To
win, the U.S. must be success-
ful in all four components whicn
make up American strategy.

This strategy includes the
U.S. military objective on the
ground to cripple the main for-
ces of the Viet Cong.

Other Compon en ts

Other components are air
power, non-military activities
to achieve a better government,
economy, and society, and ef-
forts to find a peaceful solution
by negotion.

Gen. Taylor considers all of
these efforts important. "It's
a package. One component
can't be separated from the oth-
ers. We must be successful
on all four fronts.'

This strategy takes time. But
Gen. Taylor says, "I do think
we have the resources to carry
this thing through."

PAGE 7 m NOVEMBER 17, 1966 m THE PROFILE

Faculty, Students Air Views On Class

Editor's note; The research for
this article was done by quite a

few members of the staff. The
article it^'.f was written by Ann

Roberts.

As a prelude, with perhaps a
hint or two of themes, the PRO-
FILE has conducted a bit of an
informal study to determine why
professors use the particular
teaching methods they do and
how students react to them.

We talked with several teach-
ers of English 101, since that
almost a universal course and
the one which generally intro-
duces freshmen to the acade-
mic life of the college (includ-
ing the shock of grades, I might
add).

Mary Rion calls her basic
course open. Her main purpose
in it is to teach her student to
read. The freshmen are more
open to discussion than upper-
classmen, she says. Upper
classmen often sit passive and
never raise questions or dis-
pute their professor's point of
view. In the freshmen class,
however, "You never know
what's going to happen," she
says.

In his freshman course, Jack
Nelson teaches "through class
discussion, in which success
depends on the ability to ask
the right questions.'

"Freshmen need to develop
reading tools," he says, "And
discussion is the best way of
teaching them."

No Qualms

Assistant professor of his-
tory and political science Pene-
lope Campbell thinks that class
discussion should be particu-
larly exciting on a woman's col-
lege campus because the girls
should have no qualms about
stating their opinions.

As for the matter and form of
a discussion, Margaret Pepper-
dene, professor of English feels
that "a teacher must have
control of a class. This is not
in order to dictate to them, but
to direct the development of
ideas so that nothing irrelevant

ic m<=>nrirnp>H *

wouldn't expect from an under-
graduate.' She adds, however,
that this depends on the prep-
aration and outside reading the
students have done before class.

"Really most professors
want discussion," says Judki
Giles, instructor in biology. "I
guess you do have to put some
of the blame on the way the
material is presented by the in-
structor. Some of them just
race through and give the im-
pression that they don't want
the students to discuss."

Material

The chief bar to discussion
seems to be the amount of ma-
terial that the professor feels
he must cover in a given time.
Miss Campbell believes that
discussion enhances her upper
level courses, but "in the basic
course there is little time for
discussion because there is so
much material to cover."

On the other hand, the work
to be done cuts down the time
given to discussion for some
professors in advanced cour-
ses. Miss Rion says that al-
though she does not like pure
lecture, there is not as much
time for class discussion in
upper level courses, because
they must cover a specific body
of material.

Mr. Nelson concurs. In upper
level course, "although there
is still value in class discus-
sion, the material must be cov-
ered. Students put too much
value on class discussion any-
way, for learning in an acade-
mic community should be the
result of individual thinking.
Any discussion can be carried
on more profitably outside of
class."

Mrs. Pepperdene feels she is
forced to lecture to her large
Chaucer class because of its
size. "The function of the lec-
ture is to give the students
something to bounce off of," she
says, "so that they can read the
literature in terms of their own
experiences."

PIERRE THOMAS HOLDS A PRIVATE SESSION WITH one of his
students. Many professors supplement classroom work with
private conferences.

Mr. Nelson also directs the
discussion. He tries to ask the
right questions of the students.
They "learn more if they think
the conclusion is their own.'

Most of the professors inter-
viewed agreed that one of the
Values of class discussion is
what they learn. Mrs. Pepper-
dene says "I like to teach
because I like to learn."

Mary Virginia Allen, asso-
ciate professor of French, val-
ues discussions "for insights
student have which open up new
paths of thinking for other stu-
dents and teacher."

According to Miss Campbell,
juniors and seniors often bring
more to class than she does.
"They often bring out things I

Ideally, for her, the teacher
will disappear and just the ma-
terial is left.

In biology Miss Giles agrees
that teachers tend toward lec-
ture often is that there is a cer-
tain amount of material which
must be covered in a quarter.

Another science teacher,
Alice Cunningham, visiting as*
sistant in chemistry, lets stu-
dents use their own initiative
in lab by planning their own
experiments. She realizes that
they flounder to a certain ex-
tent, but they need to get to
thinking for themselves.

The question of preparation
on the part of a professor in-
terested me because I have

MARGARET PEPPERDENE USES THE LECTURE method with
her large Chaucer class. She says that she spends seven or
eight hours a night in preparation for her classes the next day.

heard people who have taught,
with or without previous exper-
ience, in such informal situa-
tions as Mississippi freedom
schools talk about how they
learned so much in the class-
room from students. Some have
said they now prepare less,
would go into a classroom to
"teach" a poem which they
themselves do not understand.

Mr. Nelson never writes out
a lecture, but he has a general
outline of what he hopes to ac-
complish. Neither does Miss
Rion write a lecture for her 101
class.

Responsibility

Mrs. Pepperdene, who says
that the main part of her Chau-
cer course comes from in-
sights, ideas, and interpreta-
tions from her students which
she incorporates into her lec-
tures, calls preparation "the
essential responsibility of the
teacher." She spends at least
seven or eight hours a night
preparing for her classes. She
says she would never come to
class unprepared and if that
should happen, she would dis-
miss the class.

Interestingly, two of the pro-
fessors interviewed have ideas
for course they think should
be in the curriculum, both of
the seminars. Miss Cunning-
ham sees a real need for a
chemistry seminar, a course in
organization of research.

A cross-departmental semi-
nar has been suggested by Miss
Campbell. It would be on one
particular subject, a country
perhaps, and would include
teaching by professors of his-
tory, sociology, literature, art,
political science, etc.

Student Views

We also asked some students
what sort of classroom situa-
tion they prefer.

Says junior Bible major Paige
Maxwell, "I'm inclined to fall
asleep in a lecture class."

She feels that students can
read and that, having read the
material, should discuss it. She
opposes seminar classes in the
basic course, however. "Stu-
dents have no background," she
points out, "but seminars are
much more effective in upper
level courses."
Seminars also urge students

to prepare for class. "I feel
like I'm cheating myself if I go
to a class discussion unprepar-
ed," she says. ' I don't feel
this way in a lecture class where
I get the material from the pro-
fessor's notes anyway."

In a rather extraordinary
way, students value discussion
less than professors for what
professors may learn. Paige
considers it very rare for stu-
dents to give professors a NEW
idea.

Betsy Fuller, a sophomore his-
tory major, agrees. She says,
"Students can come up with good

ideas, but no earth-shattering
knowledge."

She prefers lectures because in
class discussion, a student learns
from hearing himself talk, but

hearing him talk "is of little value

to other students."

While she believes lecture
class better than discussions,
Betsy feels that they can be-
come monotonous; professors
should break up a lecture with
something out of the ordinary.

Betsy confesses what gov-
erns these views. "I personal-
ly do not participate in class
discussion," she says. "I
just hate to talk in class. I
just like to keep things to my-
self."

Freshman Patricia Daunt
likes lectures, too. She thinks
students should be able to ask
questions, but doesn't like a
class which is completely dis-
cussion because sometimes she
"gets lost."

Junior Mary Ann McCall re-
calls that she felt she "didn't
know anything at all" as a
freshman and liked lectures
best. Now she prefers a mix-
ture of the two sorts of classes.

"Participatory classes" are
preferred by Vicky Plowden,
but dislikes the 'nebulousness '
that may result.

There are two final, and ano-
nymous, comments from stu-
dents.

Classes should be "inform-
al, liberal discussion groups
and a semi-personal relation-
ship with the professor. If the
class consists of only text ma-
terial, why go at all?"

"More supplementary ma-
terial and practical applications
to aid the students and to give
a needed vigor to the somewhat
and sometimes dull texts... and

courses which are required
would be a definite asset. The
professor needs to tie in mod-
ern theory and promote active
discussion. If a student wants
to hear someone talk for an
hour, she can listen to the ra-
dio."

Interdorm
Competition
Still Alive

by Evelyn Angeletti

Mystery of the week, month
and year: Whatever happened
to interdorm competition? Two
weeks ago Walters and Winship
were to begin the round robin
with a tug-of-war between hal-
ves at the hockey games. The
event never materialized.

According to a report given
by Miss Cox of the P.E. de-
partment at an Athletic As-
sociation meeting, the P.E.
department has information that
tugs-of-war are dangerous to
the feminine physique and con-
sequently are not advisable for
such competition. However,
other field events, such as 3-
legged ranees and zipper strips
(shades of Sigma Chi), are not
' ruled out.

A.A. encourages spontaneous
competition among the dorms.
And to keep the competition cen-
tered in dorm initiative and en-

Research Reveals
Racial Prejudice

by Anne Felker

Editor's note: This article is a condensation of a study made last
spring by Carolyn Dahlem, Marge Davis, and Anne Felker for a
sociology course. Questionnaires were distributed at random to
Agnes Scott and Spelman Students

Occasionally Agnes Scott students venture out of their shelter-
ed, matriarchial society. Not often, but occasionally. When
they do, they most frequently come in contact with other college
students from the Atlanta area. Notably absent in their group
of contacts are students from the surrounding Negro colleges who
compose a large segment of the college population from this area.

How do Scott students feel

about interracial contacts with
students? Using data gathered
in connection with a sociology
course, it was found that ap-
proximately 75% of the student
body would accept eagerly if
invited to participate in a sem-
inar on a subject in which they
were interested and to which
their college had invited sev-
eral Negro students as partic-
ipants.

More Personal

The next situation examined
was considerably more per-
sonal. Students were asked
what their reactions would be
if, after arriving at a party and
finding several Negroes there,
they were introduced to a Negro
by their hostess and asked to
dance by him. Twenty-four
per cent of the white students
would accept without reserva-
tions, 23% would acce pt because
they felt obligated, 48% would
decline politely, and 5% would
decline with embarrassment.

The next two situations con-
cerned responses of a student
to social contacts between a
close frined and a Negro.
Learning that a friend was dat-
ing a Negro, 2% would admire
her, 61% would consider it her
personal decision which would
not affect their feelings toward
her, 13% would maintain the
same outward relationship with
her but would disapprove in-
wardly, while 24% would avoid
her.

Learning that a close friend
was to marry a Negro, 2% would
admire her, 50% would consider
it her personal decision, 11%
would maintain the same out-
ward relationship but would dis-
approve inwardlv, while 37%
would avoid her. As the situa-
tion becomes more intimate,
then, the disapproval increas-
es. It is interesting that 50%
of the subjects said that inter-
racial marriage would not in-
terfere with their friendship.
This emphasis on the freedom
of the individual is in keeping
with the contemporary trend
toward relative, personal stan-
dards.

Marriage

The next situations examined
concerned the subject's willing-
ness to engage in interracial
dating and marriage and tried
to determine reasons which
were behind the responses. If
a Negro boy whom the subject
had met called and asked for a
date, 15% would accept. 66%
would decline, offering an ex-
cuse, while 17% would decline
with indignation. Two per cent
did not know how they would re-
spond. Of those who would ac-
cept, most said it would be be-
cause they liked the boy per-
sonally.

Not \ (I \ en t u rv

No one said they would accept
because it would be an adven-
ture or because they felt inter-
racial contacts should be pro-
moted. It may be inferred that
either the Scott students tested
were not very adventurous or
that they considered these sit-
uations more of a threat than an
adventure. Of those who would

decline, 92% refused solely on
the basis of race.

When asked if they would re-
fuse to marry a Negro solely
on the basis of race, only 7%
said they not refuse. Of those
who would refuse, 2% said it
was because others would dis-
approve, 40.7% said they feared
social difficulty, and 51.9% said
they believed the races should
remain separate. 5% gave two
or more of these reasons. The
reasons given in answering
the last questions on interracial
dating and marriage would in-
dicate that racial prejudice per
se is more important in declin-
ing this type of contact than is
fear of what others would think.

Spelman

Responses from Spelman
College to the same questions
were much more liberal.
Eighty-two per cent of the Ne-
gro girls would agree to dance
with a white boy without reser-
vations, and 14% would accept
because they felt obligated, giv-
ing a total of 95% who would
dance. A friend's dating or
marrying would make no dif-
ference to 96% of the Spelman
students.

The difference in response to
the four situations inquiring di-
rectly into the participant's wil-
lingness to engage in interrac-
ial dating and marriage is
equally striking. 75% of the
Spelman girls would accept a
date and 50% wc^uld not refuse
to marry interrWially solely
on the basis of race.

Of the Negro students who
would refuse to marry inter-
racially, 82% stated that they
would do so because they were
afraid that they and their child-
ren would encounter social dif-
ficulty. Thus it can be seen that
the Negro students feel much
less strongly than the whites
that the "races should remain
separate," perhaps because
they are more aware of the ex-
tensive mixing that has already
taken place.

Receptive Climate

In conclusion, it is clear that
the climate of opinion regarding
interracial contacts is recep-
tive, at least in academic areas.
The eagerness of 75% of the
student body to participate in
some sort of educational under-
taking with Negro college stu-
dents in this area has not been
exploited. Perhaps reasons
underlying the reluctance to ini-
tiate contacts of this sort are to
be found in the reactions of
Scott students to hypothetical
social contacts with Negroes.
Or perhaps this is another
example of 'liberal-minded
narrowism," to rephrase an
inane remark from last week's
Overheard column. Thought is
less threatening than action.

Caldwell's 'Tobacco Road'
Competent, Interesting A t TA

The stage thrusts into the
stomach of the audience and the
seats rise at a dizzying angle
on three sides of it. The seats
are upholstered in tones of
brown and rust; the carpeting
in the aisles is an electric
blue-green.

The new Theatre Atlanta is

arresting in two ways in its

physical plant and in its pro-
duction of 'Tobacco Road."

"Tobacco Road" is a dra-
matization by Jack Kirkland of
Erskine Caldwell's novel. The
play is a graphic portrayal of
desperation in a family of Geor-
gia sharecroppers.

The picture Caldwell paints in
"Tobacco Road" is not a pleas-
ant one; it is even repulsive and
loathsome, especially to the
Southerner. In production, on
the stage of Theatre Atlanta, it
loses none of these qualities.

The position of the share-
cropper is shifting and falling
around the Lester family in the
late 1920's. They are franti-
cally trying to maintain a shad-
ow of life, existence as the
means and hope of doing so
trickle away.

Ronald Bush plays Jeeter
Lester, the reprobate who is
head of the Lester clan. Mr.
Bush has a visible understand-

by Sandra Early

ing of his role. However, he as
yet lacks certainty in it; this
can be attributed to the fact that
he was cast in the part two days

before the show opened.

Ada Lester is a defeated,
overwhelmed woman who longs
for two simple things from her
drab life snuff and a new dress
to be buried in. She is worn
out from a life of unending work
and unending child-bearing.

The ethereal Julie Haydon is
difficult to imagine as such a
woman; she is even more dif-
ficult to believe while portray-
ing her. Miss Haydon is unable
to bend low enough to get into
the character of Ada Lester,
though her physical life on stage
is very good.

Terrell Bennett and Kathryn
Loder as Dude and Ellie May
are very strong points in the
show. Mr. Bennett is the lout-
ish son of the family; he pro-
vides many needed bits of comic
relief, but also adds a tension
of his own.

As the hair-lipped Ellie May,
Miss Lodder performs mag-
nificently. She is thin, un-
washed, repulsive and pitiful;
moreover, she is thoroughly
believable.

A third strong point in the
production is Charles Munro
as Lov Bensey, a son-in-law of

the family. Mr. Munro gives
the audience security as he de-
livers a solid, sure-footed per-
formance.

An added touch to the evening
is Miss Ethel Dilts. Miss Dilts
is delightful as Grandma Les-
ter though she only has a few
lines. She began in the theatre
in 1904, and as Grandma Lester
she shuffles in and out of the
action throughout the play.

In its technical aspects, "To-
bacco Road" is a pleasure to
see. The set is ably designed
by Vincent Piacentini, Jr. and
in accordance with good sight-
lines for the audience. Cos-
tumes are in keeping with the
characters and look disturb-
ingly authentic. Neither the set
not the costumes are pleasing
to see, but their excellence is ir
their unpleasantness.

"Tobacco Road" will not fill
the businessman's desire
for light entertainment after
a hard day at the office.

It is, however, an in-
teresting play; it is also pro-
duced with general competance
by Theatre Atlanta.

It runs in repertory with
"Royal Hunt of the Sun" for
several more weeks on Thurs-
day through Saturday nights at
8:30 p.m.

Concern Over War

Wilkins Among lOOSigners
Of Letter To President

Lynne Wilkins was among the 100 student body presidents and collegiate newspaper editors who
signed the open letter expressing concern for United States policy in Viet Nam that was sent to
President Johnson recently.

The letter, which appeared in full in the New York Times December 30, 1966, and excerpts of
which are in the January 6, 1967, issue of Time, said in part;

SUSAN SMITH, CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION'S Religious Emphasis
Week's Chairman, and student body president Lynne Wilkins,
who signed the letter to President Johnson, examine material
for the Viet Nam Seminar last quarter.

Scott Names Chair
ToHonorLevburn

The trustees of Agnes Scott College in their November, 1966,
meeting established the Ellen Douglass Leyburn Professorship of
English, in memory of the late Ellen Douglass Leyburn, chairman
of the department. This is the third named professorship in
existence in the college. One is the Adeline Arnold Loridans
Professorship of French, held by Chloe Steel, chairman of the
French Department and the Annie Louise Harrison Waterman
Associate Professor of Speech and Drama held by Roberta
Winter, chairman of the speech and drama department.

The late Miss Leyburn gave
over half her life to Agnes Scott.
She was graduated from the col-
lege in 1927. After receiving
her Masters degree from Rad-
cliffe and her Ph.D. from Yale,
she joined the Agnes Scott fac-
ulty in 1934 and remained here
until her death last spring, 1966.

Although Miss Leyburn was
well acquainted with the whole
realm of English literature, she
specialized in the eighteenth
century. Her thirty-two years
on the faculty were productive.

She wrote over forty articles
published in periodicals and
journals and one book, Satiric
Allegory; Mirror of Man, pub-
lished by the Yale University
press. At the time of herdeath
she had finished the manuscript
of another book on Henry James.

Edward McNair, assistant
Professor of English, called her
a "great, great" teacher and
person, who "made you a better
person because you knew her."
President Alston in bringing her
tribute said, "...in all my ex-
perience I have never known a
more effective or inspiring
teacher than she was."

"Significant and growing num-
bers of our contemporaries are
deeply troubled about the pos-
ture of their Government in Viet
Nam. A great many of those
faced with the prospect of mili-
tary duty find it hard to square
performance of that duty with
concepts of personal integrity
and conscience. Even more
are torn by reluctance to par-
ticipate in a war whose toll
keeps escalating, but whose
purpose and value to the U.S.
remain unclear."

The letter hoped the New
Year's truce would be extended
de facto by restraint on both
sides and that, if fighting were
resumed, it would be on a re-
duced scale. It continued:

Growing Conflict

"Many of our contemporaries
raised in the democratic tradi-
tion of thinking for themselves,
are finding a growing conflict
between their own observations
and the statements by Admin-
istration leaders. These are
people as devoted to the Consti-

tution, to the democratic pro-
cess, and to law and order as
were their fathers and brothers
who served willingly in two
world wars and in Korea.

"Unless this conflict can be
eased, the U.S. will find some
of her most loyal and courage-
ous young people choosing to go
to jail rather than to bear their
country's arms.

Frank Discussion

We write in the hope that this
letter will encourage a frank
discussion of these problems.
If such a discussion clarified
American objectives in Viet
Nam, it might help reverse the
drift, which is now from con-
fusion toward disaffection."

The letter called attention to
certain questions which stu-
dents are asking.

There is doubt that Ameri-
ca's vital interests are suf-
ficiently threatened- in Viet Nam
to necessitate the growing com-
mittment there.

There is doubt that such vital
interests are best protected by

Methodist Bosley To Speak
AtR eligious Emphas is Week

Agnes Scott's annual Religious Emphasis Week will beheld this year during the week of January
16-20. The special speaker will be Dr. Harold A. Bosley, senior minister of Christ Church
Methodist of New York City.

In his speeches in chapel and during informal evening discussions, Dr. Bosley will explore
with students some "straight talk" about the words "meakness, honesty, mercy, purity, and
peace" and their use as "Fundamentals of Christian Character." Susan Smith, chairman of
Religious Emphasis Week, says that the purpose is to "redly see what these words have to say
to our situation today."

Dr. Bosley took the post at
Christ Church in 1962. Prior to
that time, he had held the posi-
tions of pastor of the Mount
Vernon Place Church in Balti-
more; Dean of the Divinity
School, Duke University; and
pastor of the First Methodist
Church, Evanston, HI.

Some of his previous exper-
iences giving campus lectures
include delivering the Chancel-
lor's lectures, Queens Theolog-
ical Seminary, Ontario, Canada;
giving the Mendenhall Lectures,
DePauw University; and giving
the Willson Lectures at various
colleges and universities in
Kansas and Texas.

When not writing books or de-
livering campus lectures, Dr.
Bosley has traveled widely,
preaching in seminaries in Ja-
pan and Korea. He has been a
delegate to the Second and Third
Assemblies of the World Coun-
cil of Churches. He is also a
member of the interfaith team
to South Viet Nam, 1965, under
the Fellowship of Reconcilia-
tion; and member of the inter-
faith team to the Soviet Union,
1966, under the Appeal to Con-

especially recommends that
students try to read Doing What
Is Christian and The Mind of
Christ, two short ones through
which students can become fa-
miliar with Dr. Bosley before
Religious Emphasis Week ac-
tually begins. His other books
include Sermons on the Psalms,
Sermons on Genesis, He Spoke
to Them in Parables. He has
also contributed to the Inter-
preter's Bible and the Ency-
clopedia Americana an article,
"Exposition on the Book of
Micah."

During Religious Emphasis
Week chapel will be held at
10:20 Monday through Friday.
The informal discussions will
meet in Rebekah Recreation
Room from 9:30 - 10:30 p.m.
Monday through Thursday.

Students are invited to eat
lunch with Dr. Bosley through-
out the week. On Monday a
special luncheon with day stu-
dents will be held at 12:30 in
Walters Recreation Room. Per-
sonal conferences with him can
be scheduled in the afternoons.

The freshmen and other in-
terested students are invited to
a Fireside in Walters Recrea-

No Scott
Policy For

'The Pill 9

A study released by the Paci-
fic Coast College Health Asso-
ciation indicates that one in 25
of the 315 colleges'health ser-
vices polled' will prescribe con-
traceptive pills for single wo-
men who do not intend to marry
in the near future.

Compiled earlier this year,
this national survey released
November 23, showed that:

55 per cent do not pre-
scribe contraceptive pills;

26 per cent prescribe only
to married women students;

7 per cent prescribe only
for medical purposes;

8 per cent will prescribe
for single, unmarried women
who take a premarital exam or
show other intent to marry in
the near future; and

4 per cent will prescribe
for single, unmarried women.

Nineteen of the institutions
polled had written policies cov-
ering contraceptives. Rose-
monde S. Peltz, college physi-
cian, states that Agnes Scott has
no written policy concerning
contraceptives.

She further states that this is
"first of all a medical decis-
ion." A doctor, "must be ab-
solutely certain it is safe" for
his patient to take contraceptive
pills.

Dr. Peltz states that she
writes prescriptions for con-
traceptive pills only when the
student has had a previous
examination by her own family
doctor or by Dr. Peltz at her
office. In the former case, the
prescriptions she writes are
usually to replace lost ones.

Dr. Peltz did not indicate
that under any circumstances
she would prescribe the pills
for a single girl not planning to
marry in the near future.

THE PROFILE m JANUARY 12, 1967 * PAGE 2

THE PROFILE

li e IP i //. . .^o r people who Jon I
know wliat tliey re missing.

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are
those of the majority of the editorial staff.They do not necessari-
ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body.

Holiday

Very few people were pleased with the
fact that winter quarter began on Tuesday,
January 3. A number of people did not
come back then. Permission was freely
granted by the powers that be to students
who went to bowl games, wanted to go,
watched games on TV at home, and to at
least one student whose parents simply did
not want her to leave home on the holiday.

The students who did return on time were
forced to leave home on what most of the
country observed as a holiday and travel
through heavy vacation traffic.

Nothing can be done about that now. But
we can profit from the experience, since we
face a similar situation next quarter. Spring
quarter is scheduled to begin Monday, March
27, the day after Easter.

It hardly seems right to ask students to
leave home on Easter Sunday, especially
since many will have to leave early in the
morning.

As the calendar is now set up, there is
one day of classes above the required 180
class days. We certainly hope that the ad-
ministration will chose to use that extra
day as a holiday March 27.

Rep Councihasmade several suggestions
as alternative courses to returning the day
after Easter. We hope these will receive
serious consideration, and that something
will be done.

MOCKINGS

Dearest Mom,

I was really glad I took the
train back, even if I did have to
leave Sunday morning. I didn't
have any fog trouble. Of course,
I did miss out on the tours of
such scenic spots as Macon.

They've finally located my
luggage. It was in Wyoming. I
can stop wearing my bathrobe
now. A strange thing happened
on the train. I walked back from
the dining car and there was a
new car added to our train. It
was completely deserted, but
there was a lot of luggage. Noth-
ing looked very valuable except
this beautiful scarf, though.

It was nice to get back to
school on time. Lonely, but
nice. It was to bad I didn't
think of telling the D.O. I wanted
to go to the Orange Bowl, date
or no.

When I first went to class,
I was sorry to see that so many
sophomores had transferred
already, but glad at last to be
in classes of a reasonable size.
I thought it would be a valuable
and exciting experience to have
class with only four or five peo-
ple. Well, with the fog lift and
the last game, there was at
least a 1000 per cent increase
across the board.

The train trip up to New York
was less eventful. Nancy Kelly
met me, and we had a truly
marvellous weekend. Saturday
night our dates tookustoTimes
Square to see the new year in.
The crowds were overwhelm-
ing. I got separated from my
date and as midnight approached
I was afraid I would have no
one to kiss at the magic hour.

I decided to gra b the next
man I saw. I went up to this
guy from behind and it turned
out to be, of all people, my old
friend from the summer, David.
It's true that youll always see
someone you know at Times
Square.

He had lost his date, too. I
hope the two of them got to-
gether and had as much fun as
we did. We spent the rest of
the night running all over New
York, from Coney Island to the
Top of the Sixes. It was ter-
rific.

He took me to Perm Station
Sunday morning. We got sepa-
rated in the mob there, but just
asl left he said he had something
important to ask me. No, I'm
not engaged, Mom.

FROM RAMON A

By the way, everyone is en-
gaged.

I'm really sorry I didn't make
it to the sophomore party for
the freshmen. I was all ready
to go when old Al Pope called
and I hated to turn him down.
I threw on a raincoat over my
costume since he said we were
just going to drive around. Well,
somehow we ended up at Fan
and Bill's and they insisted on
checking my coat. I'm never
going back there again. At
least that's what the manager
said when he threw us out.

I thought this quarter I would
get involved in a few activities,
so I tried out for Dance Group.
Unfortunately I fell off the stage
during my dramatic leap. I
should never have tried to leap
over Miss Dotson. She said
I should be on the stage. I think
she meant bus.

Apology

It seems that somethong was
lacking in the editorial about
Honor Emphasis Week that ap-
peared in the last PROFILE. It
stated that the Hub discussion
"faced all the disadvantages of
any Hub discussion of its kind:
lack of attendance, interested
but silent participants."

This is not the opinion of
many people who attended the
discussion. Some have called
it the liveliest Hub discussion
ever.

It was learned too late that
the information on which the
editorial was based came from
interviews with people who were
at the discussion, not from at-
tendance by the editorial wri-
ter.

We recognize the gravity of
misrepresentation, or, as
seems to be the present case,
semi-representaton, and apo-
logize for any offense to those
responsible for Honor Empha-
sis Week.

THE EDITOR

What really inspired me was
my experience with movement
when Miss de Laban was here.
She was quite impressed with
my portrayal of Falstaff when
I fell off the chair. Little did
she know I was doing Antigone,

I'm so excited that you think
Butch can come for Sophomore
Parents Weekend.

Much Love,

Pocket
Revives
Hit Comedy

by Jane D. Mahon

Pocket Theatre's current
production of You Can't Take
It With You is funny, fun, and
completely -enjoyable. This sea-
son the Pocket has revived sev-
eral old standby plays.

You Can't Take It With You
is a series of hilarious situa-
tions involving the eccentric
Sycamore family. Moss Hart
and George Kaufman wrote You
Can't Take It With You, and the
play won the Pultizer Prize for
the 1936-37 season.

Charles Pepe, who is inti-
mately connected with Agnes
Scott faculty, played the Russian
ballet instructor, Kilenkov. His
novice performance was believ-
able and very funny. Ed Buch-
er, Decatur photographer, who
has held the S iltrouette account
in the past, gave an excellent
performance as Mr. Sycamore.

Richard Bowden as Grandpa
and Ann Simmons as Penelope
Sycamore also gave excellent
performances, and I could go on
and on as a rather large cast
is involved in the play.

Schools Change Girls' Rules
Reject In Loco Parentis'

by Sapdra .Early

As TIME magazine pointed out in a recent article, the debate between student freedom and in loco
parentis on the part of the college has gone on for many years. The matter is still being discus-
sed and college rules are always coming under close examination.

William W # Van Alstyne, of the Duke University Law faculty, is an authority on the legal
rights of students and colleges. In a speech on the subject, he said, 'The student has been regard-
ed as an infant, the college as an extension of his parent whose discretion is virtually unlimited..."

AT THE PROFILE NOBODY makes the same mistake twice.
That's why we need and welcome freshmen and anybody else.

Thanks, Colorado Daily.

Aval onTime,GMC,
Give Grants Here

Agnes Scott has been re-
cently cited for three finan-
cial grants from Time, In-
corporated, General Motors,
and the Avalon Foundation of
New York.

Agnes Scott is the recipient
of a recent grant of $10,000
from Time, Inc. The college is
the only institution in the seven
southeastern states to be se-
lected for inclusion in this pro-
gram in which Time, Inc., is
giving $250,000 to twenty-five
selected women's colleges
throughout the United States.

These colleges were cho-
sen for their "leadership, out-
standing academic qualifica-
tions and the incidence of their
graduates on the Time, Inc.,
staff." The grant to Agnes
Scott is unrestricted.

In December, Agnes Scott
received notice that the Ava-
lon Foundation of New York
has made a grant of $50,000
to the college.

Following the suggestion of
the Foundation, Agnes Scott will
use this grant "to provide the
stimulus, both to faculty and to

students," which can be deriv-
ed from having distinguished
visiting scholars visit the cam-
pus and participate in the col-
lege's work.

According to President Als-
ton, the scholars and lecturers
who visit Agnes Scott under
the auspices of this grant will,
through public lectures and
other means, also enrich the
cultural and intellectual life of
the surrounding community.

General Motors has just an-
nounced Agnes Scott's partici-
pation in the General Motors
Scholarship Plan for 1967-1968
with the award of a scholarship
to a freshman entering in the
fall of the 1967 session. The
recipient will be selected by
the college scholarship com-
mittee; her scholarship will
range from $200 to $2000 per
year, depending upon financial
need.

However, he goes on to say,
by the age of eighteen in most
states, a young person can
marry without parental consent,
as well as secure a driver's
license, hold a job, leave home,
and pursue many other inter-
ests. 4 ...He is often individual-
ly responsible under general
law well before he becomes
twenty- one.*'

"A university is not the ex-
tension of the parent, but an in-
stitution committed to the pro-
vision of educational opportuni-
ties and the value of critical
inquiry. Unless a rule can be
shown to be relevant to the con-
servation of these concerns, it
is questionable whether the rule
is anything more than an act of
supererogation...The rationale
of in loco parentis is neither a
necessary for sufficient justifi-
cation of college rules and col-
legiate authority."

Dr. Van Alstyne states that a
reconciliation of student pero-
gatives and university power
will recognize that students
have interests other than acad-
emic ones and that they should
be pemitted to "pursue their
non-academic interests subject
only to the same restraints as
society, peer groups, parents,
and others customarily attempt
to bring to bear through their
own separate connections with
individuals who offend them,
without gratuitous university
support."

Goucher

Goucher College in Balti-
more, Maryland, has made a
move toward modification of
some of its rules. A six a.m.
curfew bill went into effect Jan-
uary 3 on a one year trial basis.
According to the plan a senior
may choose her own curfew up
to six a.m.; after that time she
may take an overnight.

A letter to the editor in the
Goucher Weeklv applauded the
curfew modification. "For a
number of years, Radcliffe has
given seven a.m. curfews to

upperclassmen (this includes
sophomores after Thanksgiving
vacation). From our vantage
point, we have not seen a dras-
tic deterioration of Radcliffe's
academic standards."

Goucher's president, Otto F.
Kraushaas, warned, however,
that "We should keep in mind
that the first obligation of our
community is to provide the
best possible conditions for
learning and education, intel-
lectually and morally. Also we
have to keep in mind not only
the best interests of those who
are affected directly by the de-
cision, but the best interests of
all other members of the col-
lege community."

Emory

At Emory University, the
Resident Women's Association
issued a statement saying, **The
undergraduate Emory women in
residence believe that student
self government is an educa-
tional process which is valuable
in teaching them responsibility
and in preparing them to accept
their places in a democratic
society. Therefore, they do
petition the appropriate author-
ities of the University to grant
them the right and power to gov-
ern their lives to the extent con-
sistent with their age and ex-
periences."

As a result of this, the resi-
dents of each upperclass wo-
man's dormitory are able to
meet, discuss, and decide upon
rules for their building. Their
plan is then subject to approval
by the Dean of Women.

McTyeire, a small dormitory
containing sophomores and
some juniors, held its first
meeting before Christmas.
Plans for either no curfew or
voluntary signout or a distribu-
tion of door keys to girls with
extended curfews were suggest-
ed. Action on their rules was
held over until after the holiday
so that girls could think and talk
to their parents about it.

Here at Agnes Scott curfews

In your mailbox on Tuesday
you found a questionnaire re-
garding the basic curriculum at
Agnes Scott. If you have ever
griped about having to take Bible
or not having enough hours to
take electives, you now have a
chance to channel your gripes
and suggestions constructively-
through the Student Curriculum
Committee.

Curriculum Committee will
spend this quarter making a
study of our core curriculum
in order to determine, on the
basis of student opinion and
comparisons with other schools,
how well it serves the ends of
our liberal education.

At the beginning of next quar-
ter, a formal report of Curricu-
lum Committee's findings : will
be presented to the Faculty Cur-
riculum Committee, with whom
the authority for changes in the
curriculum rests.

A little learning

can be
a dangerous thing...

for you!

You may think you'll go places with a small
education. But you're wrong! Starting to work
with a too-small education is like running a
race in cement track shoes. It's almost a sure
bet you'll come in last in the race for the good
paying jobs.

Toaay, to get a good job you need a good
education. A good education is the first thing
employers ask for. It proves you've got what
it takes to handle a good job ... a good-paying

job ... a job that really goes someplace.

So, it you're in school now . . . stay there!
Learn all you can tor as long as yon can. II
you're out of school, you can still get back in
the running. There's plenty of valuable train-
ing available outside the classroom. To gel
the tacts, see the Youth Counselor at your
State Employment Service. Or visit a Youth
Opportunity Center, which has been set up
in many cities to help yon.

and signouts are also coming up
for review. At the suggestion
of Dean Carrie Scandrett after
some confusion concerning

committee is headed by Gue
Pardue, chairman of the Rep-
resentative Council rules com-

day the committee met a third
time and members presented
plans they had formulated for

expressed this concern in mod-
erate, respective terms. The
whole tone is good. I think it
is a responsible attitude toward
the problems."

'This is a view not often ex-
pressed," she continued. "It
expresses my own questions. I
don't agree with all the ques-
tions the letter raise, but I think
they are being asked."

Lynne has heard little reac-
tion on the campus about the
letter. A numberof people have
asked her what it was, since the
notice in the Atlanta newspapers
was so vague.

She is disturbed that some
people whom she has heard from
have interpreted the letter as an
anti-war statement. She has
received some letters from
people opposed to the letter.
One writer, who called the
thinking behind the statement
"sophomoric" wrote to Lynne
for all the signers, since her
name headed the list.

Favorable mail has included
comments from Joseph Heller,
author of black humor novel
Catchr22, a poem from author
Edith Segal, and an advance copy
of Our Bitter Heritage, histor-
ian Arthur Schlesinger's new
book about the U.S. involve-
ment IN Viet Nam.

Lynne has received a lengthy
letter from Secretary of State
Dean Rusk answering some of
the questions asked by the stu-
dents' letter. The State De-
partment letter admitted that
they may not be able to answer
all the questions since the prob-
lems involved are so complex.

"My main disturbance,"
Lynne says, "is that some peo-
ple think it is an anti-war let-
ter. I don't think so. I signed
because I am not yet certain
about my view of the situation."

Neither Lynne, nor the other
signers, spoke for their student
bodies, a fact which was made
clear in the letter.

"I would never presume to
make a statement for the student
body without learning its opin-
ion," says Lynne.

Most of the signers were stu-
dent body presidents. Others
were campus editors.

The only other Georgia stu-
dents who signed were Tony
O'Donnell of Emory and Ros-
well Jackson of Morehouse.

Among the other women's
colleges on the list were Chat-
ham, Duke University Woman's
College, Goucher, Mount Hol-
yoke, University of North Car-
olina at Greensboro, Radcliff,
Randolph-Macon, Sarah Law-
rence, and Wellesley.

Other schools listed included
Amherst, Columbia, Cornell,
Duke, Harvard, Johns Hopkins,
University of Michigan, Univer-
sity of California (Berkeley,
Davis, and Los Angeles), South-
western, Stanford, Swarth-
more, Tulane, Union Theologi-

Groups Form Communities
Modeled After ' Walden Two

"WE BOTH HAVE RAIN-
COATS, but neither of us thought
it would rain," says President
Wallace Alston as he and his
dog seek shelter in Buttrick.

In 1948 Dr. B. F. Skinner, a
Harvard psychology professor
and researcher, wrote a novel,
Walden Two, which descrives
an experimental community, the
most important characteristic
of which is its use of scientific
methodology (guided by ethical
writings from the world's phil-
osophical and religious teach-
ers) in developing its social,
interpersonal, and technologi-
cal frameworks.

Since the publication of this
book, at least four groups of
people have worked somewhat
independently toward a scien-

Objectors Migrate
To Canada,Avoid War

Few minority groups in
America today have received
more adverse and emotional
publicity than the young men
who refuse to fight in Viet Nam.

The draft dissenter today has
few courses open to him. He
can submit. He can refuse in-
duction and accept imprison-
ment. He can ask for conscien-
tious objector status, difficult
to obtain and carrying with it
sharp social disapproval.

A fourth course of action is
attracting an increasing number
of Americans: emigration.
Canada is a logical choice, a
nearby English- speaking coun-
try which one can enter with-
out a passport or visa. The
Committee to Aid American

War Objectors has been set up
in Vancouver to inform them
about Canadian Immigration
Laws.

An American citizen can en-
ter Canada easily unless he
comes under one of the prohib-
ited classes defined in the Im-
migration Act. These include
those who have been associated
with subversive organizations,
those who have been involved
with drugs, those convicted of
crimes involving "moral tur-
pitude", prostitutes, homo-
sexuals, chronic alcoholics,

There are three immigrant
statuses in Canada: visitor,
student, and landed immigrant
(this classification enables one
to take up permanent resi-
dence). After five years of
landed immigrancy the Ameri-
can may apply for Canadian cit-
izenship. He may renounce his
American citizenship before
that time, or he may simply
remain an American citizen
living in Canada.

The American in Canada may
not be extradited for violation
of Selective Service laws since
these are not covered in the
extradition treaties between the
two countries. Canada has no

one of them.

The fourth group was formed
by Jim and Annette Breiling,
who met with Skinner in the fall
of 1965 and arranged to com-

children.

The over 80 participants of
the national convention included
people from each of the four
groups. These participants
conducted workshops in all
phases of community founding

essential to community de-

Committee Tackles
Basic Curriculum

The basic curriculum of required courses, which has remained
without a major change in 50 years, is being evaluated this year
by the student curriculum committee.

Using student questionnaire suggestions, comparisons with
other schools, and the opinions of professors, each member of
the student committee will research a specific course or group
requirement. At the end of the year their reports will be com-
piled and submitted to the faculty curriculum committee.

Frequent suggestions in the
past have been one course a

will begin a new program designed to improve the quality of and
interest in chapels.

All chapels next week will center around the topic of disease

of vital concern to everyone but about which students have little
opportunity to learn.

day's chapel. Dr. Peirce is
director of the surgical re-
search laboratory at Emory.

"These are the outstanding
doctors in Atlanta," says Betty.

"We are trying with these
programs to furnish informa-
tion to the students by bringing
first rate speakers and improve
the general temper of chapel
programs."

Nest week's venture is the
first half of a two-part series
planned for this quarter. A

Was Last Quarter Worse?
Most Felt More Pressure

It seemed last quarter that the cries of "Pressure" and "Too much work" were louder
and thicker last fall quarter than in recent years. In an attempt to "psych out" possible truth
and source of this feeling, the PROFILE has interviewed a number of people.

C. Benton Kline, dean of the faculty, points out that it is difficult to remember
how much pressure there was in former years. He adds that he projects his own feeling into the
general temper of the campus, but he felt more pressure on himself last quarter.

BEST NEGATIVE TEAM BOB AND TOM Falone of the Univer-
sity of South Carolina pose with Bobby Durden (r.) of Emory,
who was named best individual speaker, at the All-Southern
Intercollegiate Debate Tournament sponsored by Agnes Scott.
The University of South Carolina was named best overall team
also.

The PROFILE contacted col-
lege consulting psychiatrist
Irene A. Phrydas, since she
might have tangible evidence
of any increased pressure. The
questions asked were two: did
she see more patients last
quarter, a fact which might
indicate more pressure, and
did she sense greater pres-
sure through her contact with
Agnes Scott? Dr. Phrydas' an-
swer was "I really wouldn't
have the answers."

Some of the comments (and
complaints) from students were
not about this fall quarter spe-
cifically. Says sophomore Jan
Cribbs, "I am thoroughly in
favor of having three classes
five days a week; you get more
done. With Saturday classes,
you have no morning to sleep

and no day to relax, if you are
to go to church on Sunday which
is strongly encouraged around
here."

Susan Aikman says, "Forme
as a junior, it was bad, be-
cause you have to adjust from
three hour classes to classes
every day and all the extra
work that comes from five hour
classes."

Frequently heard comments
come from Linda Marks,
senior, "I think the pressure
gets worse all the time the
longer you're here, the worse
it gets," and Helen Roach, ju-
nior, "Once you're behind, it's
impossible to catch up."

Nevertheless, many people
felt that last quarter was un-
usually bad.

Junior Sally Eberfeld says,
"I think there was a general
dissatisfaction last quarter. A
lot of people felt too restrict-
ed both socially and acade-
mically. You had to fight to
grow. I feel like last quarter
was a year, not a quarter."

Exchange

Committee
Waiting

Exchange Committee, head-
ed by Ann Glendinning, began
writing schools for exchange
late last quarter. Those
schools written were suggest-
ed by members of the commit-
tee and other students. Also,
representatives of Radcliffe
asked at the NSA Congress in
August that they be written
about an exchange with Agnes
Scott.

Letters went out to Goucher

Ann has recently heard from
Randolph - Macon which sug-
gests an exchange February
15-17. They will be exchanging
with other schools that weekend
and hope that Agnes Scott can
participate.

Spelman College, which has
had exchanges with Agnes Scott,
is in favor of shorter exchanges,
such as Christian Association
Boards' visiting each others
meetings, and having tennis
matches between Agnes Scott
and Spelman.

The committee has received
answers from Fisk, Randolph-
Macon, and Colby Junior Col-
lege. All three are interested
in semester-long exchanges.
Ann is waiting to hear from the
others.

Red Tape Syndrome

Reynolds Frice, author of orientation
book "A Generous Man," is not coming to
Agnes Scott this year. This fact may not be
shocking or tragic in itself, especially
since few people even suspected he would
come. His schedule does not allow him time
to come and talk about his book in the light
of the controversy it raised, as some stu-
dent gove rnment leade rs had hoped. It would
be appropriate and doubtless intellectually
exciting if he could come, but it is not tra-
gic that he cannot.

What is more likely to be tragic is the
mountain of red tape that lies behind the
fact. In October, someone got the idea to
ask him and approached intellectual orien-
tation chairman Helen Heard and student
body president Lynne Wilkins. The pro-
posal was that student government would
use a sum of money it has saved for a
special event to bring him since such a
visit would be so timely.

The proposal was brought to president
Wallace Alston for discussion of an ap-
propriate date. He told the students that
it would be necessary to talk over the
suggestion with lecture committee.

There were the usual hang-ups in first
getting the committee to meet. Lecture
committee offered, unasked, to pay for the
visit and took over the plans according-

iy.

By the time Price was invited, which
was, it must be said, the day after the
committee meeting, his schedule was al-
ready too full. Perhaps if he had been
asked when it was first thought of to ask
him, he would have been able to come.
That, however, is now wine under the
bridge (you should pardon the expression).

What is still with us and still important
is the precedent set in procedure. Why,
if student government has money and the
desire to bring a speaker, should it be
necessary to work through lecture com-
mittee 7 It seems that clearance with the
central calendar would be enough. Other
groups, significantly NSA and the Con-
servative Club bring guests to campus
without waiting for clearance from another
group.

We trust that this situation will not be-
come a precedent, but the opposite. It is
certainly to be hoped that in the future,
groups or individuals who wish to bring the
outside world to Scott and have the financial
means to do so will be able to procede
without pressure and red tape from other
roups.

"Edit the PROFILE and see the world"
is not an exactly accurate slogan, but the
one who edits frequently sees things others
miss.

Last week these tangible compensations
were two: I helped judge the Hapeville High
School annual "beauty review" (male and
female) and I and a few journalists from
Emory and Oglethorpe received a tour of the
new Theatre Atlanta and an interview with
its director Jay Broad.

The former was great fun, but the latter
seems to be of more general interest for
this space. 1 hope that anyone who has not
yet seen the new theatre will waste no more
time before hurrying over to West Peachtree
new Pershing Point.

The complete building is unfinished. It
will eventually house a restaurant and lounge
off the theatre lobby and several floors of
offices above. There are parking decks below
the street level.

The lobby area differs little from that of
any modern movie house, but one is startled,
pleasantly, upon entering the theatre itself.
Broken by turquoise-carpeted aisles, the 765
seats, in shades of ferewn, rise sharply on
three sides of the angular, curtain-ess stage.

"A platform for action," says Jay Broad.
"That is what this theatre is. Beautifully
finished, stained and shaped; but, nonethe-
less, an austere platform for action."

It is. The stage commands completely
the rows of seats that tower above yet move
only 40 feet from it. As Broad continues, "'It
juts forward into your midst.. .and almost
shouts, "I have secrets, and glories and my-
steries and laughter. Wait. Wait. I want to
show them to you,"'

Our visit was not confined to the magni-
ficent public area, however. We climbed the
steep aisle to the control booth where sound
and lights ate managed. Operated by re-
mote control, the lighting system is elaborate
and if I may say it on the experience of one
performance extraordinarily effective.

TA does all its own technical work, both

> mwm

sets and costumes. The facilities for back-
stage production are adequate, if low-roof-
ed. And the costumes and scenery' created
are fantastic. I had seen the recently-closed
"Royal Hunt of the Sun" and been impressed
by the costumes. That play uses no scenery ,
but we saw the complete "shack" that was
on stage for "Tobacco Road" ("Many poor
south Georgia families would probably like to
have a house this well-built," remarked pu-
blicity assistant and actor Richard Baron
who was our guide) and the elaborate furni-
ture created for the French satirical comedy
"Waltz of the Toreadors."

The physical facilities are impressive,
and doubly welcome to those of us who grew
up with a TA housed in the less-than-mag-
nificent Community Playhouse. The acting
is also admirable, carried mainly by the
resident company of 12, including distinguish-
ed actress Julie Haydon of "Glass Mena-
gerie" fame and Atlantan Stuart Culpepper
who did such a fine job in "Masks of Angels"
which helped open the Dana Theatre last
year.

This full-time core and their part-time
supporters did a good job, with a few hang-
ups, with the production I have seen Peter
Shaffer's "Royal Hunt of the Sun," a rather
new play which is both demanding and
something less than a masterpiece.

Currently running in repertory is "Waltz
of the Toreadors," a witty sophisticated
comedy by Jean Anouilh. Also to be seen
is Arthur Miller's "After the Fall," a work
highly influenced by Marilyn Monroe and his
own political wanderings. I am told it is a
play much better in the performance than in
the reading, a fact which does not surprise
me.

Whatever the material, however, Theatre
Atlanta does a good job, especially in its
new home. The one who goes is twice re-
wardedby a look at that beautiful new home
and by a thoroughly enjoyable evening of
theatre.

Letters To The Editor

Stringer
Approves

Paper

Dear Editor,

Got the PROFILE for the first
time last month and of course
read it avidly from cover to
cover; I was very pleasantly
surprised with all the innova-
tions and well-written articlesl
Having been away for four
months, I've missed seeing the
development of the PROFILE
in the first half of 1966-67.

The national and international
issues mentioned (among them
Viet Nam and the fall Georgia
elections) added just enough to
the "flavor" of the ASC news-
paper, but not enough to make
things dull. The small car-
toons, provocative headlines,
and humor articles also blend-
ed well to make the issue of the
PROFILE really good college
newspaper reading.

I would just like to say that
the hours you and your staff
have spent on this year's PRO-
FILE are evident. Keep up the
good work I

Sincerely,

Pat Stringer (1968)

Adams
Defends
Viet War

Dear Editor:

Having read the recent ar-
ticle about Lynne Wilkins, 1
am moved to several questions.

U W hy does she seem to avoid
any mention of communism?
Isn't that what we are really
fighting? That is what the Pre-
sident has said repeatedly. Our
purpose is to stop communism,

which will become more dif-
ficult to stop the more we
wait to stop it.

2. Why is it that veterans
(those of us who have fought
wars and those who are now
fighting them) are not "deep-
ly troubled about the posture
of their government"? It seems
that those who know war aren't
troubled at all-we realize that
we must roll up our sleeves
and get to work or someone
will deprive us of our hard-
fought-for freedom.

3. Just what will be gained by
a truce? We have had generals,
senators and others who know

the most about Viet Nam here on
our campus. They say that we
should try to win this war. And
of course that too goes' back to
communism.

If you will not accept the fact
that the enemy is communist,
that he will do anything to de-
ceive you, that he would not
honor any type of settlement
except that on his terms, then
of course you see no reason for
the war.

1 feel very strongly about
this as you can see. I should
be glad to discuss or debate the
matter further.

Life's Good Things
Pervade 'Georgy Girl

by Poppy

I thought that "Georgy Girl"
would be another product of the
"Alfie" or "Darling" "genre"
which exposed the shallow de-
bauchery and emptiness in the
world in a (somehow) humorous
manner, and from which you
did not emerge without a sod-
den towards sundown feeling of
depression.

However, it turned out to be
not only delightful, but also
uplifting, not only because it
ended relatively serenely, but
chiefly because it was pervaded
throughout by an awareness (and
not a railing against) of good
things in life, and of their tran-
sience a tacit acceptance of
the possibility that it is un-
founded to except love to last
more than years.

Georgy herself is an undenia-
bly appealing, warm, and elu-
sively whimsical waif, although
her ungainly and uncoordinated
body render her liable to com-
parison with "the back end of

Wilson

a bus" and things of that dis-
couraging nature. One sees her
as the good person who never
gets what she wants; only
Georgy does.

Lynn Redgrave's portrayal
of Georgy is really above com-
ment. As it is nowhere tinged
with the consciousness of play-
ing a role, the audience cannot
think of Georgy girl as a por-
trayal or "part".

Alan Bates is more than con-
vincing as Jos; he is insistent.
James Mason is appropriately
disgusting and amusing as "the

old lecher", and is quite as
maneuverable as any girl could
wish.

One must take great delight
in "Georgy Girl" not only as a
wonderful story, but especially
for the many unforgettable and

inimitable single scenes which

are interspersed in the action

quite integrally. They really
should be seen.

Christian Center Grows Fast,
Works With Kirkwood Residents

The Kirkwood Christian Cen-
ter is a unique church. Sit-
uated at 1980 Boulevard Drive,
N.E., Atlanta, it serves at
times as a sanctuary, a scout
center, a PTA meeting hall, a
piano studio, or a school house.
It is also unique in that it is the
only church in the Kirkwood
area which ministers wholly
to the residents around it.

The Center's uniqueness
grew out of the area's need for
its services. In 1963 and 1964,
a large change occurred in the
Kirkwood area. In a relatively
short time there was an almost
complete racial turnover of in-
habitants. Since that time the
neighborhood has spread al-
most to Agnes Scott's back
door.

Unfortunately, the establish-
ed churches of the area reacted
rather typically to this new
ministry of theirs. In all cases,
the members moved, and the
churches either ignored the in-
habitants and continued in their
white Christianity, or sold their
santuaries and built others
elsewhere. The Kirkwood
Presbyterian Church was of the
latter type, and moved from
the problem completely.

Great Need

Because there were few Ne-
gro churches in the area, and
because the white ones that re-
mained refused to allow any-
body new, there was a great
need for a church such as the
Christian Center. Seeing the
need of the neighborhood, the
Episcopal Diocese of Atlanta
and the Atlanta Presbytery join-
ed forces to acquire the par-
tially completed plant of the
Kirkwood Presbyterian Church,
and formed the Kirkwood Chris-
tian Center.

Ministers Larry Robinson and
Captain D. S. Bryan of the
Church Army (Episcopal) work
with the Center. The success
of these two ministers in work-
ing together could give hope to
a coming trend in Christian
groups, that of ecumenicity.

SEVERAL OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE who attend the Kirkwood
Christian Center gather with Agnes Scott students (1 to r) Mar-
garet Calhoun, Sigrid Lyon, and Virginia Russell for an after-
services informal portraits

The purpose of the church is
to help .with the transition of
the neighborhood and to keep
stability in the community.
Looking to the future it also is
striving to develop community
and church leadership. There
are several ways in which the
church is working to attain its
ends.

On Sundays the center holds
Sunday school classes and
church services and evening
meetings for young people from
the fifth to the twelth grade. At
other times, Bible study groups
are held for adults,

The youth of the neighborhood
are a part of the Sunday activ-
ities, and dominate the center's
activities throughout the week.
The atmosphere of the place
completely changes on Mon-
days.

Two Incomes

Most families in the area have
two incomes, and so the day
kindergarten sponsored by the
center during the week is of
great use to many mothers. It
also helps prepare its partici-
pants for first grade.

Mockings From Ramona

Dear Mom,

1 was going to write earlier
this evening but Lynne Wilkins
was in here muttering about
"eternal objects." She just
left to plan her own Walden II
community.

Well, SILHOUETTE pictures
were exciting. Mine was in the
Main tower. It was rather uni-
que. The photographer was in
the Decatur Presbyterian spire
in order to get the proper
perspective.

The problem was that they
left me locked up there. I yell-
ed at all the people in front
of Main, but they all thought
I was merely trying to pass an
endurance test.

Actually, the time wasn't a
total loss-I learned a lot about
pidgeon life. I may write my
biology paper on that.

After several hours I tried
the door again and realized
it wasn't really locked after
all. I wandered down to fourth
Main right into a lovely re-
ception. At first I thought Ge-
neral Taylor had returned but
it turned out to be general con-
fusion instead.

What it was, was a cocktail
party Marks gave in honor of
Poppy's birthday. It featured
bloody mary mix and other
delicacies.

The cake was especially de-
licious. There was so much we

all stuffed ourselves. The only
bad thing, aside from my crash-
ing, that is, is that I felt un-
der-dressed.

I got a letter from David yes-
terday and the Big Question
was would I like to come up
for the big dance weekend next
month. Of course I would. Un-
fortunately it's the same week-
end as our dance, but maybe
it's better. This way I can
save the $6 on the tickets. By
the way, Mom, could you send
$40 for my plane ticket right
away please.

Everybody around here has
been dieting so they can look
lovely in their bikinis at spring
vacation. Well, they had more
success than expected when
plague struck again last week
and everyone lost five pounds.
And their appetites.

I have to be going now; I
have to catch up after having
the Black Death 1967 myself.

By the way, my good friend
Namkia Nasus says hello.

Love,
Ramona

high school students to college
professors tutor at the center
at various times during the
week. (Among them, several
Agnes Scott students). Approx-
imately six people teach piano
lessons. And there are large
waiting lists for both services.

In the spring of 1966, a boy
scout troop was begun by two
Georgia State students. The
original troop size of 120 was
whittled down to about 60, and
now numbers about 110. Mal-
coln Babbage, one of the troop
leaders, asserts that nearly all
of this number are active, and
at times almost "too active."
Dr. Austen J. Wallers of Sau-
tee, Georgia, donated a 35 acre
camp site near Toccoa to the
scouts, and a camp is held once
every three or four weeks year-
round.

Since the formation of the boy
scout troop, girl scouts have
bee n begun, with senior, cadet,
junior, and brownie troops now
active. This fall an explorer
troop was formed for the boys.

Boy Scouts

The Atlanta Area Weekly
Profile recently cited the Boy
Scouts of the center as the most
progressive troop in Atlanta.
The troop supported a Cleanup
Kirkwood Campaign sponsored
by the Georgia Council of Hu-
man Relations, a campaign de-
signed to keep Kirkwood in good
condition by cleaning up trash
and getting police protection
when needed. During the recent
gubernatorial election, the
Scouts distributed voter infor-

mation sheets to residents of
the area.

The growth of the scouts can
be used as an example of the
success of the Center in its
aims. Since its start with no
scouts almost a year ago, the
program now works with almost
three hundred boys and girls.
Adults of the neighborhood are
in greater and greater num-
bers working with the Center.

Competition

Increases

PRINCETON, N.J., Jan. 6
(CPS) Competition for grad-
uate fellowships continues to
grow stiffer, as an all-time
record 13,695 candidates were
nominated for highly-coveted
Woodrow Wilson Fellowships
this year.

"The number of nominations
is astonishing," Woodrow Wil-
son National Fellowship Founda-
tion Director Hans Rosenhaup
said. "It means that there are
eight candidates for every
Woodrow Wilson Fellowship
that can be offered."

Since 1958, the number of
bachelor's degrees awarded in
this country has risen 54.6 per
cent, but Fellowship nomina-
tions have increased by an
"amazing 142 per cent, Rosen-
haup said.

The Foundation director at-
tributed the phenomenal rise in
nominations to the growing in-
terest in graduate study, the de-
sire of college seniors to win
highly-competitive awards, and
the teaching profession's inter-
est in "self-renewal."

Ten Scott students were nom-
inated for fellowships this year.
Six students actually applied,
and two were called for inter-
views.

OrientationChairman
Proposes Changes

EDITOR'S NOTE: The Orientation Committee proposed to
Representative Council on Tuesday, January 17, three resolu-
tions for the expansion of their committee. The following inter-
view between 'Judy- Fryer, Orientation Committee Chairman,
and a PROFILE reporter relates the major reasons and causes
for the proposals by this" committee.

REPORTER:- Judy, what are
the prbpOs'ed 'changes' and/or
additions that you and your
committee are .see'<*n?

JUDY: Our" committee first
wants Representatives Coun-
cil to adopt our recommenda-
tions for an organized consti-
tution. Second, the committee
wants to substitute "Council"
for "committee" in the name
of the present "committee."
Third, we want to move the
election of the committee chair-
man up in the order of elec-
tions to be with the other senior
chairman.

REPORTER: What are your
reasons for wanting a consti-
tution for the committee?

JUDY: Initially, a constitu-
tion will explain what the com-
mittee does. It will clarify the
work of the committee and the
duties of the officers. We pro-
pose a flexible, not a rigid,
constitution so that the com-
mittee can work as it sees fit.
No one is aware of the respon-
sibilities of the orientation
committee; therefore, no one
petitions because the functions
of the committee are not clear.
Our aim is to get people to
petition because they want this
job.

REPORTER: What will the
changing of the name of the com-
mittee accomplish?

JUDY: Actually, the com-
mittee functions as a council,
regardless of its present tit-
le. The group meets and works
each quarter on a regular ba-
sis. We work throughout the
year with the freshmen, we
are not a committee that ends
when official orentation is
over.

REPORTER: Why doyou think
that it is important to move the
election of the orientation com-
mittee chairman up in the or-
der of student body officer elec-
tions?

JUDY: Since all the senior
officers are to be elected by
Tuesday this year, it is impor-
tant that the orientation com-
mittee chairman be elected with
the other senior chairman so
that she may organize her com-
mittee by Wednesday like the ot-
her senior chairmen. With the
advantage of early election with
the other senior officers and
chairmen, the orientation com-
mittee will be able to get as
effective a committee as the
other seniors do. Therefore,
we propose to move the elec-
tion of the orientation commit-
tee chairman from its present
position to behind the election of
House Council and Arts Coun-
ciL

Qualified and interested
people will see this position
with the other senior chairman
as it indeed is. As it stands
now, orientaton committee
chairman is the only senior
committee chairman not elect-
ed except for lecture commit-
tee chairman. The responsibili-
ties of the committee necessita-
tes effective leadership, and
our committee believes that
these proposals will help to
stimulate interest, thus more
students will petition for the
job.

According to a senior who
does not wish to be indentified,
"I've decided because of last
quarter not to go to graduate
school, but to take a year and
rethink my educational expe-
rience, if you can call it edu-
cational; I call it an emo-
tional nightmare. There's not
an intellectual atmosphere
here; it's just competition.
People are in classes for the
grades, not the interest."

"How can you be expected
to do your best when you don't
even have time to do a halfway
decent job?" asks junior Susan
Johnson. "I think there ought
to be some way to appeal im-
possible situations, i.e. a paper
and two quizzes on one day.
The daily work takes so long
to just keep up with that it's
impossible to work ahead. And
there was alot of things pushed
into the last week. I felt like
there was a awful lot of busy
work forced upon us.

Susan's work last

quarter consisted of two maps,
a report, an essay, six tests
two on the same day, one on
the same day as a paper four
more papers, and eight novels
in Spanish.

The problem of papers and
tests falling due at the same
time is a major complaint. So-
phomore Dera Jones says, "All
the assignments run together;
the papers came at one time.
It was too easy to get behind,
and too hard to keep up with
just the daily work. Everything
comes at one time and there is
just so much pressure trying
to do everything at once."

According to sophomore
Candy Chotas, "There was ab-
solutely no care among the
departments as far as sche-

duling tests goes."

Classmate Bonnie Dings
agrees,'" The whole quarter

seemed chopped U p; all the
tests and the papers came at
the same time.''

"I find the first part of each
quarter wasted," says Ca-
therine Doster, junior, "The
professors feel like they have
to introduce their subject and
they introduce and introduce,
and that means you are more
pressed at the end of the quar-
ter."

Eleanor McCallie finds this
situation a problem also: "The
first four weeks of school we
had no tests or papers and then
all at once it came. There was

book report

Susan Aikman reports that
she had five papers due the
same day.

Yet not everyone blames the
scheduling of tests and papers
specifically. One anonymous
senior states, "I never felt
or believed in pressure until
last quarter. And I don't know
where it came from or what
can be done about it. The at-
mosphere somehow was worse.
If this mounting pressure indi-

cates a general trend, we're in
trouble, man."

According to Betty Butler,
the pressure last quarter was
"terrific." "1 couldn't be spe-
cific,'* she says, "but it seems
that I had a great deal to learn
in an excruciatingly short time.
It may ha\e been that being a
senior, I tried to catch up on
things I had missed in three
years, but it wasn't that my
other activities took too much
time.

Another senior, who asks that
her name be withheld, reports
that she had no time for out-
side activities because of de-
mands from classes and petty
jobs.

Relief came from at least
one source last quarter; Mar-
garet Pepperdene, professor of
English, became the first Scott
professor to make a major
paper optional. She allowed stu-
dents in her Chaucer class to
decide for themselves whether
they wanted to write a paper
and their decision did not af-
fect their grades.

Says Mrs. Pepperdene, "I
sensed an increase of pressure
on the part of the students. They
seemed more pressed than ever
before. They never tried to
have anything postponed or
excused, but they seemed under
excessive pressure.. ..I don't
know where the pressure was
from, but it was worse last
quarter than ever. And, they
did all their work, but did it
under the worst pressure with
seemingly little time. Some of
it may have come from the
courses; there was so much
reading to do."

There is probably no an-
swer, certainly noclearcut one.
Yet part of the problem doubt-
less lies in Mrs. Pepperdene's
words, "The students here have
somewhere gained a standard of
excellence that they don't want
to fall short of and this creates
an inner pressure."

Peace Corps
Recruiters
Here Today

Peace Corps recruiters are
on campus this weekend. An
information center has been set
up in the Mailroom. At 4 this
afternoon the 45-minute film
about volunteers in Brazil,
"One Step at a Time," will be
shown in 203 Buttrick..

The Peace Corps placement
test, a language aptitude test,
will be given tomorrow at 3
and Saturday morning at 11.

Three PC volunteers are here
to talk to students about the
Peace Corps and hope to in-
terest them in it. Margurette
Norton, a native of nearby
Fairburn, Georgia, was an Eng-
lish teacher in a co-ed high
school in Thailand. She gra-
duated from the University of
Georgia in 1964 with a B.A.
degree in political science.

Social Council Lists
Winter Dance's Merits

Social Council does not promise that the Winter Dance will re-
place pantie raids, but it does have its advantages-
It provides an excuse to get a new formal. (And, it may erase
doubts that our wardrobe runs the complete (?) line from wheat
jeans to cut-offs - with accessorized sweatshirts.)
Winthrop may be there.

It's cheap. (Most fraternity formals run anywhere from 10 to
20 dollars.)

It will make Social Council feel better about singing "Boola-
Boola" in the dining hall.
It's always fun to try to get a boy to put on a tux.
You get to stay out latel
It's a nice excuse to see the boy from home.
Your mother will be impressed.
Grindl may be there.

It fills in the gap between Wednesday (or should I say Tuesday?)
Night Casuals.

It's a eood way to pick up winter Quarter.

After all, we may not have a pantie raid this quarter - and
we know we're having a winter dance.

Meroney Defends
Year Survey Courses

Much has been said lately, especially by sophomores, about
the possibility of only taking three five hour courses per quar-
ter. So, in connection with its current interest in education at
Agnes Scon, the PROFILE decided to interview Geraldine M.
Meroney, who has recently come from Georgia State which ope-
rates on a pure quarter system and offers mainly five hour
courses.

Miss Meroney does not sup-
port the idea of having five hour
courses on the freshman and
sophomore level where most
of the subjects are of the sur-
vey variety.

"A five hour survey class
must meet five days a week in
order to cover the necessary
material, and this creates a
greater pressure on both the
professor and the students,"
she said.

"The professor has no time
to talk to students because all
of his time outside the class
must be spent in preparation
for the next day," she continu-
ed. "The students have to spend
all their time on just keeping
up with the required material
and have no time for any out-

side reading. All of this tends
to create a superficial handling
of the material."

She emphasized that five hour
courses on the junior and se-
nior level are to be considered
differently. This is because up-
perclassmen are studying in
their major field and already
have the background material.

She prefers the semester
system to the quarter system
because there is more leisure
and flexibility automatically
built into it. With only two
exam periods and twc midterms
per year, the students are not
as pushed and the general at-
mosphere is more relaxing.

But, she said that she did
not think that the quarter sys-

education.

The SSOC representatives
pointed out that they do not be-
lieve that a simple restoration
of the recent cut in enrichment
funds would insure a high qua-
lity education system for all
Georigians.

They call for a new dedication
to an educational system which
will be "free" to all of the
state's youth.

Legitimate Steps

A statement of the group
reads, "We see it as the re-
sponsibility of all concerned
Georgians, and particularly of
us on the campuses, to take all
legitimate steps to not only
restore this cut in enrichment
funds, but also to forge a new,
freer outlook on education by
all Georgians."

Specifically, SSOC members
see the necessity of a state-
wide campaign, probably in the
form of petition, to get the
Georgia legislature to begin a
dedicated quest for more, bet-
ter education by restoring the
lost funds.

A statewide petition, as they
see it, could be the means not
only of speaking to this specific
issue, but also of forging a new
awareness of the educational
question on the Georgia cam-
puses.

SSOC calls itself a "mem-
bership organization of Sou-
thern students, black and white,
who share a common dedication
to social change, particularly
through political activism in
the areas of civil rights, edu-
cation, peace, foreign policy,
and the alleviation of poverty."

Demonstration

Regional staff member Jody
Palm our, who spoke recently
at Agnes Scott, led a demon-
stration of students before the
capitol building during the in-
augural ceremonies for Mad-
dox recently.

Gathering an hour before the
ceremony began about two
blocks from the stands, they
stood in twos carrying signs
with such legends as "Pray
for Georgia," "Now," "More
Money for Education," and "Se-
gregation is Sin."

In the center of the group
were six students who carried
a black coffin with the slogans
"Here Lies the New South"
and "Here Lies Justice, Wis-
dom, and Moderation," the
words on the state seal.

Commitment

Palm our explained, "The
purpose was to demonstrate
the commitment of Georgia stu-
dents to the development of pro-
gressive policies in state go-
vernment. The past statements
and actions of Maddox indicate
quite strongly that he is not
really committed to solving
the problems of the poor white
to whom he most strongly ad-
dresses himself."

The fifty students marched to
the capitol for the inaugural.
They stood silently until Mad-
dox rose to take the oath of
office when they turned and
left.

Speaking to the group of a
few hundred left, Maddox avoid-

THE PROFILE

So

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are
those of the majority of the editorial staff. They do not necessari-
ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body.

Right Direction

Agnes Scott may someday be receiving
federal grants as authorized by the Board
of Trustees. The move is not very ag-
gressive, but it is a step in the right direc-
tion.

The PROFILE already had planned an in-
vestigation of why federal money was not
accepted much, and almost never sought,
to finance college projects.

We recognize the feelings of the college
in wishing to remain completely "private"
by being supported by the money it raises
and by gifts. However, we feel that such
needs as a gymnasium and another dorm
are now so pressing that the time has come
when federal money, which is available for
such undertakings, can be used to the ad-
vantage of the college.

We hope that the administration not hes-
titate to seek, nor the board hestitate to
approve, federal money to be used in the
campus improvements most needed.

Don't Just Sit There

In light of the discu ssion and complaining
about the dining hall and the food of late,
we would like to remind the student body of
the food committee, set up this year by Rep
C ouncil.

It is the proper channel for student sug-
gestions and opinion about the food service
and has been effective in a number of areas
already.

So don't sit in the Hub and complain to
your friends. Complain to a member of the
food committee, which can do something
about it. There are many recepticles around
campus for your messages.

Letters To The Editor

Students
Oppose

'Masses'

Dear EditoY:

Whereas Agnes Scott College
has some people that mustcon-
stantly complain about anything
and everything, we who have
never had the priviledge of pub-
lishing a complaint think it is
high time we voiced our griev-
ances, too. The matter we are
so indignant about is the "cute"
petition anonymously posted on
the dining hall door listing
everything considered to be
wrong with the food, service,
etc. in the dining hall.

Obviously, this person was
either a freshman trying to
make the ranks of the elite or
an upperclassman who has ab-
solutely no sense of propriety.
There are some things that may
be appropriately made into a
joke, but one must also main-
tain a certain amount of dig-
nity and good taste when at-
tempting such a project. De-
finitely this petition was out
of line in the department of
good taste!

Granted there are areas
which could be improved in the
dining hall. We agree that tables
with dirty dishes on them are
not desirable and that some of
the food has been under par
lately. What w e disagree with is
the manner of exposing this pro-
blem. This person should at

least be adult enough to voice
her grievances to either Tom
or Bill in person or to the stu-
dent committee set up for this
express purpose.

If this is not agreeable, then
she should at least have cour-
age enough to sign her name to
the petition instead of "The
Starving Masses." If she can-
not identify herself and pre-
sent a list of constructive sug-
gestions for improvement, then
she has no right to complain!
The next time someone feels
the need to make known pub-
licly a complaint, we sincere-
ly hope that due to possible em-
barrassment of other Agnes
Scott students she will use a
little more adult judgement and
discretion.

University In Dispersion'

\Peace Corps Moves From
I Classrooms Into Slums

Peace Corps trainees are getting out of the classrooms and, despite the grumblings of some
old-line pedagogues are training in thebig-city slums, Puerto Rican rain forests, Indian rese n a-
tions and Israeli kibbutzim (cooperative iarms).

While the Peace Corps still trains its volunteers in partnership with colleges and universities,
the emphasis now is on practice instead of book-learning. A new phrase gaining currency within
the Corps is "university in dispersion."

Staff members and volunteers adeqU ately for what they would

use the term to define the high-
ly successful organization, and
with that in mind they are creat-
ing training programs that may
be radical models of educational
reform for this country.

Since its inception six years
ago, the Peace Corps has re-
lied largely on universities and
academic faculties to conduct
three-month training pro-
grams. These usually consist of
intensive academic, and some-
times physical, exercises. They
are often rigid, authoritarian,
and irrelevant to Peace Corps
activities overseas.

Wronfj Things

What has been wrong with
Peace Corps training are the
same things that are wrong with
higher education in general,"
according to Associate Director
Harris Wofford.

Wofford was appointed head of
an Education Task Force in
August 1965, charged with de-
veloping plans to "move train-
ing from a three-month opera-
tion to a two-year or three-
year process of volunteer ed-
ucation.'' One year ago the task
force produced a draft report
indicating the weaknesses of
Peace Corps training and rec-
commending reforms. A final
report is expected this month
which will evaluate the new pro-
grams run during the past year.

The report urged, among ot-
her things, that training pro-
grams include community ac-
tion in unfamiliar environ-
ments, either in slums, rural
areas, Job Corps camps, or in
the host country itself.

Another recommendation was
that volunteers should be train-
ed in small groups of no more
than 100, in which individual
needs and interests are re-
spected and the trainees par-
ticipate in some of thedecision-
making and evaluation.

R o x b u r v

One recent training program,
whose members just left for
Nigeria, was set up inRoxbury,
a Negro ghetto of Boston. The
60 trainees were scattered in pri-
vate homes in the area, and al-
lowed to develop their own com-
munity action projects.

The trainees came together in
groups of 15 for seminars and
language instruction. They pro-
vided the substance of the semi-
nars, developing their own cur-
riculum. Only two books were
assigned at the start: "The
Autobiography Of Malcolm X"
and Graham Greene's "The
Quiet American."

Although a few new volun-
teers left the first day of the
project, most of the trainees
seemed to find the setting a
challenge.

The Roxbury project was not
without weaknesses, however.
Several trainees expressed a
desire for more "intellectual
substance."

This "intellectual sub-
stance" the Peace Corps di-
rectors attempted from the first
to provide from professors in
higher education.

Out Of Reach

But, as Peace Corps officials
explain it now, many of the aca-
demicians proved lamentably
out of touch with the realities
of the overseas situation, and
their teaching methods, while
fine for producing scholars,
didn's prepare the volunteers

meet in the field.

David Sherwood, a training
officer for Africa, remarks that
"being a volunteer overseas
meant great emotional involve-
ment, which university class-
room situations didn't take ac-
count of."

At the campus training cen-
ters, scholarly teachers are in-
creasingly being succeeded by
returned volunteers with first-
hand experience. Discussion
groups have replaced lectures,
and over-burdened trainees can
now opt to undertake a variety
of activities instead of doing
calisthenics.

Some programs bring the for-
eign culture to the campus. At
the University of Missouri,
trainees set up a Nepali house

replete with Nepali food, uten-
sils, furniture and traditions
for instance, spreading cow-
dung on the floor (mixed with
water it makes a good plaster)
according to the Nepalese plac-
tice.

Despite problems in train-
ing, the Peace Corps has re-
ceived applications from 2.5 per
cent of the senior classes at
more than 200 colleges this fall,
the highest percentage in the
agency's history.

Peace Corps officials said
they expected increasing need
for liberal arts graduates in
the Corps, but pointed to serious
shortfalls in some programs
requiring persons with agricul-
tural, math, science, and other
specialized skills.

Mockings From Ramona

Dear Mom,

You won't even believe what
happened last Saturday. I had
a date with this guy I know
named Charlie. We were on
our way back to school when a
pickup truck backed into his
little sports car and broke the
headlight.

Well, the truck pulled off and
we tried to catch it and almost
got creamed. Finally, the truck
driver got out and Charlie told
him about it. He was virogous-
ly denying it when a friendly
neighborhood policeman hap-
pened by.

He told Charlie and the guy to
settle it between themselves,
and gave us the guy's driver's
license to keep until he paid
for the light.

Well, the friendly policeman
left and the guy in the truck told
us he lived not too far away
and we could just follow him to
his house and get the money
then.

We followed him all right,
for about 20 miles. He ob-
viously didn't know where he
was going and kept turning in
circles. Finally he stopped and
came back and stuck a knife
(would you believe?) right in
Charlie's ribs. He wanted to
know why we had told a lie
about him and the headlight and
wanted his driver's license.

Charlie had given the license
to me, since I never lose things.
Well, you know how cool-head-
ed I am in every emergency. I
just got out of the car and told
him that I had his license and I
wasn't about to give it to him
until he removed his blade and
gave us the money for the light.

Needless to say, he was suf-
ficiently frightened by my com-

manding manner. We complet-
ed the exchange, but before we
could leave he started beating up
Charlie and tried to pull him
from the car, but fortunately
Charlie, too, has been to the
cinema many times and knew
to have the motor running and
just stomped the gas pedal in his
best Ulya Kuryakin manner.

What a night. Charlie and I
are such a good team we are
considering applying for a job,
either at the C.I. A. or NBC.

I've had another letter from
David, and we're finalizing
plans for The Weekend. Thanks
for the money, Mom; I can
hardly wait to go.

I've been inspired academi-
cally lately. I may even try to
do independent study my senior
year. I've been talking to Linda
Marks who is now working under
Mr. Nelson. She finds it very
satisfying.

There have been a few com-
plaints about the dining hall
lately, but I think they're doing
a pretty good job. My only
complaint is the lack of rain-
bow sherbert. It's so good
with strawberries or in hot
fudge cake.

As a matter of fact, I'm
writing you in the dining hall
right now. Please pardon the
beef stew stain on the station-
ery. For that matter, please
pardon the stationery. Could
you send me some? These nap-
kins tend to spread the ink.

I must run.

Much love to everyone,
Kanmiui

Time Shrinks For Most
ProfessorsRedueeHours

Time is one of the most prominent criterion in decision-making at Agnes Scott. With the high
entrance standards established by the college, ability is not as often a consideration every-
one has a nearly equal degree of ability the question becomes, rather, "Do I have time?"

for a particular activity. As students become more and more involved in college work, the cliche
of being able to "make time" to do what one particularly wants to do becomes less possible.

PAGE 3

JANUARY 26, 1967 WL THE PROFILE

Life tends to be very regi-
mented and organized for the
student. As Theodore M. Greene
suggested in an interview, a
series of academic hoops have
been set up for the student to
hop through everyday and the
ambitious girl sets up extra-
curricular hoops for herself in
the afternoons. The student
spends her whole day hopping
through hoops like a trained
animal.

The weekends are very si-
milar to ordinary weekdays.
With classes on Saturday morn-
ing, there is little opportunity
to relax Friday afternoon and
Friday night. Again, there is
little time for relaxation on Sun-
day if one attends church in the
morning and begins after lunch
to prepare for classes on Mon-
day. Saturday afternoon and
night become the only periods
free for rest and reflection,
and they can be filled quickly
with the usual routine of living
shopping, washing, ironing.

Activities

Freshmen are often coun-
seled as they begin their col-
lege careers that there are
three types of activities one
can follow on campus aca-
demic, extracurricular, and
social but, they are warned,
one can only do two of these
well, not all three. The main
purpose and emphasis of col-
lege is the academic one, but
girls in college are more than
students, they are people with
interests other than purely aca-
demic ones.

After fifteen hours per week
in class and many hours of pre-
paration for the classes, time
becomes the deterant to the
possible development of the
other two areas open to the stu-
dent. The girl should not be li-
mited to only one of the two;
she should be able to enjoy both
to some degree as well as her
studying.

Own Approach

Not only does the student need
time to pursue other interests,
but she needs time to think and
search for her own approach to
learning. Mr. Greene pointed
out that by the time a girl rea-
ches college, she should be able
to transcend teaching and the
teacher.

He suggested that one of the
main duties of the teacher is to
encourage independence and to
make himself unnecessary. In
this process of making the stu-
dent independent, she needs "a
little elbow room in time" to
spend absorbing and reflecting
and then begin working alone.

Jack Nelson of the English
department pointed out that the
pressure of time is as heavy
on faculty as on students. The
faculty have the problem of pre-
paration for teaching several
different courses a quarter, as
well as keeping abreast of new
developments in their fields. It
would be much easier for them
to take last year's lecture notes
out of the file and deliver them
again, rather than taking time to
rethink when time is limited.

Little Research

Claire Hubert of the French
department agreed that with the
average teacher teaching twelve
hous per week, there is little
time for research if one is a
conscientous teacher. It also

concerns her that there should
be more time for the teacher
and the student to study things
outside their own field's which
are important to the under-
standing of western culture.

Kwai Sing Chang of the Bible
department says that each
course is taught in the "hope
the student will catch fire." But
"to evaluate how much (work) is
too much." There is the pro-
blem of doing justice to the ma-
terial without overburdening the
student.

Experiments

Many colleges already have
systems of classes and free
time different form Scott's.
Other colleges are experiment-
ing with extended free time.

Emory University does not
have Saturday classes and is
not ^experimenting with the
"Wonderful Wednesday" pro-
gram. Instructors at Emory
teach twelve hours per week,
but assistant professors teach
only eight hours per week and
have more opportunity for re-
search.

At Harvard University clas-
ses continue up to Christmas
vacation; after the holiday there
is a two week reading period
before two weeks of examina-
tions. In the reading period a
student is free to work on his
own and prepare for exams.

In the European system at
Cambridge University, classes
are held for two months which
constitute a quarter. Between
each quarter is a months vaca-
tion and between spring and fall
quarter, a four months sum-
time is also to be used as a
reading period and as Mr. Chang
says, the system "assumes a
highly mature student."

Florida Presbyterian College
has still another approach to

free time and independent study
for student. Time magazine of
December 9, 1966 says of it,
"Spliced in between the two
regular semesters, it (the inde-
pendent study) gives the stu-
dents a month each year
ranging from the study of non-
thermal radio emissions of Ju-
piter. ..to working with migrant
workers in Florida's orange
groves."

Reading Cuts

Here at Agnes Scott some
professors have begun to make
modifications of their courses
in conjunction with the need for
more time outside the class-
room. In many five hour cour-
ses, classes are meeting only
four hours a week, with the
fifth hour being a reading or
research cut.

Mr. Nelson used this idea
in his English Novel course
during fall quarter and he said
that he found the morale in his
class to be "very good." He
said also that occasionally the
class had to meet for the fifth
hour when it became involved
in discussion and outside re-
ports.

John A. Tumblin, Jr., Chair-
man of the Economics and So-
ciology department, is trying
two experiments in his clas-
ses. In his five hour anthropo-
logy class he is meeting it only
four times a week; the fifth
hour is for reading and work
on a term paper. His introduc-
tory sociology course is "much
less structured than it has been
in the past."

He is conducting the class
as a discussion group rather
than as a lecture. Students are
to prepare material which is in
the textbook, and in class they
try to relate the text to life.

Scott Accepting
Federal Money

In a recent interview presi-
dent Wallace. Alston answered
questions about the possibility
of receiving federal aid for
Agnes Scott. Until this time fe-
deral aid had been accepted in
the form of Fulbright Scholar-
ships and a National Science
Foundation research grant to
Thomas Hogan which the col-
lege used to aid in building
the new psychology lab.

Dr. Alston explained that
there were no further plans to
accept any federal money to
construct a new dormitory
or gymnasium. However, there
is an opportunity to use federal
funds in building the new gym-
nasium, which will probably be
located on the south side of
Dougherty Street facing the ten-
nis courts. Presently, an arch-
itect is being sought to draw
the plans and to estimate the
cost.

The attitude of the Board of
Trustees has been one of cau-
tion in that the board has re-
stricted the acceptance of fe-
deral monies in an action ta-
ken May 6, 1966:

That the Agnes Scott Board
of Trustees record approval
of a policy that would enable
the administration and/or
proper committees of th,

Board to apply for and to
receive U.S. government
loans and grants for build-
ing and other purposes, pro-
vided such application and ac-
ceptance is done with the spe-
cific authorization of the
Board or the Executive Com-
mittee for programs and pro-
jects that the Board or the
Executive Committee appro-
ves.

Requiring the approval of the
Board for each specific grant
places the responsibility in the
hands of the entire Board of
Trustees and the administration
rather than on the administra-
tion alone.

As Dr. Alston said, "The
trouble is to find somethingthat
really will help us."

SALLY TUCKLR TAKLS A FOUL SHOT for the freshmen in the
basketball season opener last Friday.

Sophomores Slip Past
Frosh 21-19 In Ope iter

One minute left in the game. Spectators clutch chairs, gnaw
fingernails. Score: sophomores 17, freshmen 19. Forty-five
seconds to go tie 19 up. Students tensing, players passing, foul
shots missed (agony). Time: zero minus 35 seCondS'arfd count-
ing... last basket tried and INI Final score: sophomores 21,
freshmen 19.

So ended the first basketball
encounter of the season. But
the final score gives just an
indication of the strain clamp-
ed on the entire game. The
freshmen hustled to an early
11-2 lead in the first quarter.
Dazed by the swiftness of Chris
Robin's ball handling, the so-
phomores failed to click as an
aggressive unit. In addition, the
referee's whistle increased
Raggedy Ann's hesitation and
caution as the officials noted
each floor mistake. The fresh-
men capitalized on the free
throws to help maintain their
lead until the final seconds.

Emerging trom their initial
shock, the sophomores manag-
ed to confine the freshmen to
five points in the second and
third quarters while grinding
out eleven for themselves. The
freshmen, as yet undaunted by
the sophomores' scoring, con-
tinued to pull in rebounds and
to attempt baskets.

But as the fourth quarter be-
gan, the sophomore defense
tightened and harassed the
freshman shooters with nu-
merous jump balls. Compared
to their earlier scoring at-
tempts, the freshmen had only
limited success in tallying three
points, while the sophomores
picked up seven four points
coming from two conversions
in the last minute of play.

In the scoring statistics, the
freshmen were pac?d by Be be
Guill with five points and Eli-
zabeth Crum and Ann Marquess
with four apiece. Winkie Wooten
led the sophomore scoring with
ten points. Patsy May followed
with six. Windy Lundy scored
the final tie-breaking basket.

Tomorrow's games will have
the sophomores pitted against
the juniors at 4 p.m. At 5 p.m.,
the seniors (who were unable
to gather a team for a game
last week) will take on thefresh-
men.

(Clarification of comments
made in last week's PROFILE:
The seniors placed first in
hockey to the juniors AND the
sophomores who TIED for
second place.)

Bosley Discusses R.E. Week, Winshi P Beats Main In S P'

r-i A *-i /~t a I .-\ * !

Tour Of South Viet Nam

by Marilyn Merrell

This year's Religious Emphasis Week held something special in the form of Dr. Harold A. Bos-
ley. Anyone who comes in contact with this dynamic man feels his vivacious personality and senses
his sincere concern for the world.

When asked why he likes to
conduct weeks as our R.E.
Week, Dr. Bosley replied, "be-
cause I want the church and the
college to stay as closely to-
gether as possible. We have
so much in common and that's
why it's important for the two
to stay together." He feels these
seminars can help the church
share in the life of the college.

Dr. Bosley said a student
needs, to feel the church's in-
terest in her while in college.
Then she can feel an interest
in the church after graduation.
These four years of college
are the most decisive years
in one's life; therefore, with
the church as a factor in a stu-
dent's life, here decisions are
led by Christian principles.

Effectiveness

Another question presented
to Dr. Bosley concerned his
feelings toward the effective-
ness of the week. His reply was
"the students will have to an-
swer that." Dr. Bosley feels
his only guage for measuring
effectiveness is through active
responce in the form of stu-
dents' questions. Incidently, he
commented that the questions
posed to him indicated a cer-
tain degree of effectiveness.
However, he wants each girl
to ponder the thoughts present-
ed and ask questions, and,
thereby, profit through self-
examination.

Of course, Dr. Bosley was
asked the classic question:
"What is your opinion of Agnes
Scott?" On this second trip to
our campus, Dr. Bosley said
of Scott: "Agnes Scott repre-
sents to me one of the very
finest of our small liberal arts
colleges. I am impressed with
the quality of the faculty, the
scope of the courses, thetrain-
ing of the faculty, the library,
and the quiet, unashamed way
the college stands in theChris-
tain tradition without sectarian
views."

He has travelled extensively
preaching in seminars in Japan
and Korea and serving on inter-
faith teams. 1965 found Dr.
Bosley in Viet Nam as a mem-
ber, of theinterfaith team creat-
ed under the Fellowship of Re-
conciliation. This team sought
the feelings of Buddist and Ro-
man Catholic priests towards
the war in Viet Nam.

Viet Nam

The group, composed of 12
Americans and two Europeans
talked with Buddhist and Ca-
tholic priests, the people of
Saigon, leaders of small vil-
lages, and even members of a
Viet Cong defector camp.

Dr. Bosley reports that the
priests felt "war weariness"
from a war that has run on for
25 years. They have "an al-
most unqualified desire to end
the war right away."

The priests explained to the
team their disregard for the la-
bels in which the war is fre-
quently described in the Uni-
ted State democracy versus
Communism. Rather, they see
it as a clash between rival
groups not interested in the
peasants. Therefore the priests
see no advantage to the peasants
in continuing the war.

After visiting some small
villages, the Interfaith, Team
realized that the peasants want
to remain neutral, although the
war does reach them in terms
of taxation and the presence
of war refugees.

Their villages belong to the

V.C. by night and to the govern-
ment by day. Any identification
with either side would of course
mean death.

Dr. Bosley says that the
Interfaith Team generally
shares a feeling for deescala-
tion of the war. To them, the
only for peace is in turning
the war over to the United
Nations. They would expect the
U.N. to call a conference of all
nations involved who would, in
turn, accept the terms prepar-
ed by the conference.

Copies of the report of the
tourweresent to President John-
son, the State Department, the
government of South Viet Nam,
the U.N., and all with whom
they were involved during the
trip.

Later, the participants met
with U.N. Ambassador Arthur
Goldberg and Secretary of State
Dean Rusk.

Tax
Credits

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
prohibitively large, and the re-
sult is that students from fam-
ilies of modest means are de-
nied a college education," he
explained. "These students
and families need help now, and
the best assistance we can give
them at the federal level with-
out involving federal control, is
to grant tax credits against the
income tax for the expenses
of tuition and fees."

The Republican Congress-
man said such credits will not
only help the student and his
family, but also the colleges.
He said tuition costs are rising
rapidly averaging some $222
for public institutions and $831
for private institutions.

Total expenses for attending
college average $1560 for pub-
lic institutions and $2370 for
private institutions.

"It is imperative that we
plan now and provide some
means to help families in the
middle and lower income brac-
kets all over America off- set
rising college costs," Thomp-
son declared. "It is for that
reason that I will offer this bill
in the Congress tomorrow."

"We must not subject a large
percentage of our youngsters
to less rewarding careers be-
cause they or their families
cannot afford college training,"
he added.

The congressman said his
district includes one of the larg-
est concentrations of public and
private colleges in the nation
including Georgia Tech, Geor-
gia State College and the world's
largest grouping of Negro col-
leges at Atlanta University.

Before swooning, relax for
a brief explanation. Spit is a
card game (as those who read

spirit of inter-dorm compe-

lenged Main to a match with
winner taking all, including a

last Friday during the half-
time at the basketball game.

cupied the center ring of the

dest number of rooters. Main's

tern was entirely the cause of
the pressure at Agnes Scott.
To change to all five hour
courses or to all three hour
courses, or even to change to
the semester system is what
she calls a "mechanical solu-
tion." "I want to get away
from a mechanical solution to
a problem that's deeper than
just that," she concluded. Her
answer to some of the pressure
is a flexibility within thesys-
tem, not more rigidity.

Juniors Sponsor
Jaunt Activities

Junior Jaunt cabinet has be-
gun discussing plans for the
traditional event this year.
Eleanor McCallie, president of
the junior class, and Paige Max-
well, general chairman for Ju-
nior Jaunt, announced that the
tentative date is February 23
and 24.

Traditionally, Junior Jaunt is
the main activity of the junior
class, and its purpose is to
help some worthwhile charity
by giving the money which the
junior class and the other three
classes make at various, and
often times strange, activities.

Both the Slave Sale (at which
teachers are sold to the highest
bidder for whatever purpose
the buyer wishes) and Surpress-
ed Desires Day (during which
students for a price may do
such sacreligious things as
scream in the library, wear
slacks to class, or do almost
anything they have been dying
to do all year!) are celebrated
during Junior Jaunt weekend.

This year for the first time
the whole student body voted for
the charity to be sponsored by
Junior Jaunt, and the hospital
in India won a large majority
of the votes. The hospital is
to be established by Miss Mercy
Samuel's father, three bro-
thers, and brother-in-law, all
of whom are doctors.

As yet, however, the land
must be bought, and to this end
the money raised at Junior Jaunt
will be given. The hospital itself
is to administer to in and out
patients, both charity and pay-
ing, and will be located at Tan-
jore in the southeastern tip of
India.

The Samuels hope to expand
the capacity of the hospital
year by year because the need
for a general hospital is so
great in this area.

Federal Law Affects Scott;
Wages Raised In December

MARCIA CARIBALTES (1) AS-
SISTS ANITA STEWART in
dressing for the Winter Dance
Satuday night the Dinkler.

For the first time this year
Agnes Scott comes under the
provisions of the federal wage
and hour law. The new law was
expanded to cover schools of
higher education both public
and private and institutions
whether profit or non-profit.

Separate provisions are made
for businesses previously co-
vered and those which came
under the act. In the former
category, as of February 1,
1967 businesses must pay a
minimum rate of $1.40 an hour.
This must be $1.60 by Feb. 1,
1968.

The latter category, which
includes Agnes Scott, provides
a minimum hourly wage of $ 1.00
by Feb. 1 of this year with $15^
increases each year until it
reaches $1.60 in 1971. The
overtime rates are also pro-
vided for in this act.

This will not at the present
effect the wages of Agnes Scott
employees since they just re-
ceived a raise in December.
P.J. Rogers, business manager
of the college, points out that
"the salaries were not raised

because we had to do it. We just
got to the point where we were
financially able to do it."

This raise in pay was plan-
ned in the budget two years ago
before the wage and hour law
covered Agnes Scott. It went
into effect in December so that
employees could enjoy it in
their Christmas paychecks.

As of now the maids at Scott
are paid between $37.50 and
$45.50 for a 36 hour week. In
Sept. they earned between $1.03
and $1.21 an hour. In contrast
to this at Georgia Tech and
Emory, maids work a 40 hour
week. At Tech the range is
$1.00-1.15 and at Emory$1.10-
$1.22.

This was according to a sur-
vey made in September before
the pay raise became effective
at Scott. Another raise for all
workers here is planned dur-
ing February.

The janitors at Scott, Tech,
and Emory work the same
hours. The pay range is Scott
$1.46-$1.66; Tech $1.20-$ 1.51;
and Emory $1.21-1.38. As of
December janitors at Scott are

paid between $5l.75-$65 a week
depending on the number of
hours they work.

Rogers points out that there
has to be some difference in
the pay of the employees who
have been with the school for
some years and the ones who
just recently came. One policy
of Scott regarding employees
is very different from that of
most colleges.

Agnes Scott is one of the
few schools which pays its em-
ployees even when school is
not in session as at Christ-
mas vacation time. They are
hired from September to June.

The 85 Scott employees are
paid for the full Christmas pe-
riod if they have worked here
over one full year. The first
year employees receive one
week's pay during Christmas.

The salaries for workers at
Agnes Scott already thus com-
ply with the new federal wage
and hour law. They have been
considerably and steadily in-
creased since 1950 when maids
earned between $13 and $15 a
week and janitors from $20 to
$26.

Seniors Discuss Value Of
Independent Study Program

i

STEPHANIE WOLFE, SQUEEZED BETWEEN THE STOCKINGS
AND THE WALL in the bookstore, tries to find a particular title
on the crowded shelves.

Bookstore Faces
Space Problems

by Rosalind Todd

Independent study, awarded
to outstanding seniors, is an
opportunity for thorough study
in the area of the student's
major interest. At the end of
the junior year students with
a "B" average or better are
invited by their major depart-
ment to enter this study pro-
gram for two quarters of the
senior year, with credit for
either a five or a three hour
course each quarter.

If the student chooses to par-
ticipate in the program, she
then spends time deciding un-
der which professor she will
study; what her subject matter
will cover, though this is some-
times limited by the professor;
and in which quarters she wish-
es to work.

This program is a real pri-
vilege for the student if she
is interested in her field, be-
cause along with freedom for
personal study, she is great-
ly helped and directed by her
advisor, who receives no cre-
dit nor extra pay in return.

Discipline

Agnes Scott book store is
working under crowded condi-
tions. Confined to one small
room and a storage room, ma-
nager Delia Ray and her assis-
tant Jerry Shippe are faced with
the problems of an increased
enrollment and the increased
demand by students for items
other than textbooks.

Mrs. Ray reports that these
problems will be solved if a
new student center is built.
As plans now stand, the book
store would move into this
building and have expanded fa-
cilities.

However, this is somewhere
in the future, and new facilities
may be necessary before then.
According to Mrs. Ray, "If
they keep increasing the en-
rollment, they will have to give
us more room."

Even with the limited space
Mrs. Ray said that the book
store increases its sales and
its stock of extra items each
year. The usual procedure is
to consider the things most
requested by students during
the year, and then add those
items that room permits.

grant was unrestricted, and Dr.
Alston dec ided to use it in this
way.

The Avalon Foundation gave
Agnes Scott a grant of $50,000
to be paid over a two year per-
iod. $25,000 has been paid.

This money is to be invest-
ed, and the income will be used
to bring distinguished visiting
scholars. Dr. Alston states
that it could be used to bring a
visiting professor.

He hopes to be able to bring
a poet or other specialist to
stay for a week or as long as
a quarter.

Mrs. Ray added that even
with this space shortage,
"We've had a lot of compli-
ments on utilizing the space
that we have." She gave the
example of a group from Queens
College which came to Agnes
Scott to study the arrangement
of the book store.

Although only limited chan-
ges can be made until more
room is acquired Mrs. Ray
emphasized. "We would be
happy for any suggestions from
faculty and students."

Independent study however,
does demand a great deal of
discipline and time from the
individual student. Julie Zacho-
wski, an English major, decid-
ed not to do it for just this
reason. She said, "It takes
a certain temperament and ex-
tra drive to do the kind of work
required, which all people don't
have." She also said that be-
ing "to pushed towards the
end might cause frustrations
which would detract from the
benefit to be gained."

Cindy Carter, a chemistry
major, gave quite different rea-
sons for not doing independent.
"There were too many other
courses I wanted to take for
there to be enought time for
research." Though Cindy has
three labs a quarter and is stu-
dent assistant to Dr. Clark, she

AA Brings Lecturer
On Self-Defense Course

Self-defense? Big deal. Who
needs it, or rather, who wants
it? One 18-year-old girl in
Smithfield, North Carolina be-
lieves that one half-hour lec-
ture in self-defense which she
attended saved her life. This
assault-rape case took place
two years ago.

It is cited here, not for shock
value, but as an example of
situations more compromising
and less which do happen. The
lecturer is Frederic Storaska,
a holder of the black belt in
karate and a graduate of Nor-
th Carolina State University
in criminal psychology.

Last quarter, Athletic As-
sociaupcL questioned the stu-
dentCfeoyi? on bringing Mr. Sto-
raska's program to the cam-
pus. Of 756 students respond-
ing to the survey, 525 indi-
cated interest in a program
with 224 willing to pay a fee
of three dollars.

Since that time, Mr. Storas-
ka has contacted the college
and has offered to cut his fee
in half in order to make his
program (arj) financially attrac-
ts e as possible.

According to Elizabeth Coo-
per, A.A. project chairman,
Mr. Storaska believes firmly
in the value of his program so
much so that he had an inter-
view with Carrie Scandrett,
Dean of Students, last month.

He asked that he be allowed to
give his initial lecture which
would not in any way obligate
the college. If students respon-
ded (as he trusted they would),
then two follow-up lectures
would be arranged. These three
lectures comprise Mr. Sto-
raska's program in full.

Mr. Storaska's enthusiasm
for his program of preventive
defense is contagious. A.A. be-
lieves, like Mr. Storaska, that
self-defense, is a serious and
critical necessity for women
today. A situation which re-
quires protection of one's life
perhaps above honor is not to
be snickered at or shrugged off.

For this reason, A.A. has ar-
ranged for Mr. Storaska to give
his initial lecture this coming
Tuesday, February 7, at 7 p.m.
at the joint house meeting. Fol-
low - up hour lecture - demon-
strations have been scheduled
for consecutive Tuesdays, Fe-
bruary 14 and 21, at 7 p.m.
for a fee of $2.50.

Any A.A. board member will
be glad to answer questions re-
garding the function and con-
tent of Mr. Storaska's program.
A.A. encourages every student
to give the initial lecture cri-
tical consideration and then de-
cide for herself how prepared
she wants to be for any situa-
tion.

says she is not a "good che-
mistry scholar." She added ho-
nestly that she is a "little
lazy".

From the other side of the
picture, Jane McCurdy enthou-
siastically said, "Everyone
should do it." Jane, an Eng-
lish major, is studying T.S.
Eliot under Mrs. Pepperdene.
Although she was influenced by
various people and did not
choose the area herself, she
is "very happy in it now." She
expressed what she feels she
has gained from her study: "You
can't understand a poet until,
you've studied all his works.
It's been a real illumination
for me."

Appreciation

Avery Hack, a French ma-
jor, studying Balzac under Miss
Steel, said she gained much the
same appreciation of an author
by studying in detail one of his
works. When asked about the
pressure, Avery said she is
"not allowed herself to feel
pushed."

Linda Marks, who has just
begun her independent study,
is feeling pressure, but main-
ly because her interest is ga
thering momentum and "tanta-
lized by the freedom," she
wants to spend all her time on
it. An English major, she is
studying Gerard Manly Hopkins
under Mr. Nelson. In many
courses, because of the short-
ness of time, it is necessary
to skim the surface, but in her
weekly conferences with Mr.
Nelson, she writes a paper
and together they "analyze a
poem to death." Linda feels,
however, that one "can't share
an insight, and that it's most
valuable when it comes on one's
own." The design of the pro-
gram allows this personal
study.

Plodding

She says that "although there
are high points, ninety per cent
of the time is spent plodding,"
and that this type of work is
good "discipline of freedom."
In describing her advisor's
role, she said he helps her
"keep her perspective."

Jane Watt Balsley decided to
do independent study 4 as a
"learning experience." Al-
though she plans to go into the

Alumnae
Executive
Board Meets

The executive alumnae board
will hold its winter meeting
February 16 at 10:30 a.m. in
the alumnae house. Composed of
officers and committee chair-
men serving two year terms, the
board is now nominating offi-
cers for the following term.

Grace Winn and Barbara
Dowd, representatives from
Moetar Board, have been invit-
ed to attend the meeting. Di-
rector of alumnae affairs, Ann
Worthy Johnson, explains the
purpose of their visit, "It is
our responsibility to keep open
all areas of communication.
We began to think of how we
could do it with the students
in particular. The Alumnae
sponsor project for freshmen is
good but limited. So we're ask-
ing Mortar Board for their help
in formulating some new
ideas."

Current president of the exe-
cutive board is Elizabeth Black-
shear Flinn (Mrs. William A.)
'38, of Atlanta.

MAT program and will not need
to write a thesis, she said, "the
discipline of this type of study
was a challenge to me." A
history major, studying under
Mr. Brown, she is comparing
the reigns of Elizabeth I and
James I, regarding to relation-
ship between the crown and Par-
liament. Jane Watt says her
interest has grown since she
began, and "there are times
when the only way to describe
what you're doing is exciting."

It was interesting to note that
she is taking a course on Tu-
dors and Stuarts under Mr.
Brown now. She says, how-
ever, that the more detailed
study she does, the more she
realizes this is "just an in-
troduction into the subject."
She concluded by saying, "dis-
cipline and a sense of accom-
plishment are more important
to me than the actual know-
ledge gained."

Synthesis

Betty Butler's independent
study is a kind of synthesis of
three fields, all focusing on
literary criticism. Under Miss
Trotter, she is comparing Ho-
race (Latin), Boileau (French),
and Pope (English) in their
varying and similar critieria
for literary criticism. Betty
said she had "never considered
not doing Independent Study if
asked." Although she did not
relate it directly to prepara-
tion for graduate school, she
feels, like several of the other
girls, that, "a thorough study
with detailed writing is very
valuable."

New Loans
Available

WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 23
(CPS) A new program of loans
for vocational students, simi-
lar to one already in effect for
college students, is being put
into operation by theU.S. Office
of Education.

The Office last week announ-
ced signing of agreements that
will activate the program in 19
states and Puerto Rico. Nego-
tiations are under way for
agreements covering most of
the other states. Normally,
loans are available up to a max-
imum of $1,000 a year. Repay-
ment usually begins nine to
twelve months after the student
leaves school and may be exten-
ded over a period of three to
six years.

The new program was au-
thorized by the National Vo-
cational Student Loanlnsurance
Act of 1965. A similar program
for college students is operat-
ing under the Higher Education
Act of 1965. Both programs are
administered by the U.S. Office
of Education.

Under the vocational student
loan program, a student in good
standing in an eligible vocatio-
nal, business or trade school,
or one who has been accepted
for enrollment in such a school,
may apply for a loan from a
bank, savings and loan asso-
ciation, credit union, or other
eligible lender.

There are no age require-
ments nor is a high school
diploma required. If the app-
lication is approved, and if
the applicant's adjusted family
income is less than $15,000 a
year, the Federal Government
will pay interest charges up to
six per cent on the loan while
he is in school and three per
cent after he has completed his
course.

PAGE 3 FEBRUARY 2/1967 * THE PROFILE,

Informal Poll Reveals Various
Sentiments About Viet Nam War

A informal, spontaneous
PROFILE poll was taken at
lunch in the dining hall one day
last week. The question: What
do you think about the war in
Viet Nam and why? The an-
swers:

Linda Marks, senior: I ab-
hor it; BUT Agnes Scott Col-
lege is the safest place in the
world to abhor it from.

Anne Felker, senior: It up-
sets me very much because I
hate murder. I'm a humanist
or a pacifist. I hate the war.

Tom Hogan, assistant pro-
fessor of psychology: I sup-
port the Johnson Administra-
tion's position. However, I think
it would be wise to end it as
soon as possible.

Virginia Russell, junior: I
think I'd like to start all over
again with the 19th century
when Asia was first exploited
by the West. In lieu of that,
I'd like to do something about
the plight of the peasants whose
land is run over twice a day.
I'd like to see something con-
structive done.

Charles Johnson, Saga em-
ployee: The U.S. is too deeply
involved to back out now. Mis-
takes were made in the begin-
ning* too many lives are lost
and Involved, but there should
be some type of understanding,
beginning the way things stand
now. We aren't making any
headway.

Mary Agnes Bullock, fresh-
man: I'm for it. I feel that the
people of Viet Nam need the
support of the United States
in helping them keep Commu-
nism out of their country. We
have to stop Communism. If
we let them gain ground, they'll
keep on gaining ground. We
should go all the way and get
it done. I know it's taking a
lot of lives, but I still think
we ought to go all the way and
get it done.

Self-interest

Poppy Wilson, senior: I want
the war to stop because there's
no way you can justify us white
Americans being in Asia killing

Asians. I think we're equating
world interest with American
self-interest. I think one reason
God is dead is because Ame-
rica has become God.

Bill Rodgers, Saga manager:
I have many feelings about it.
Broadly, I think we should have
determined policy to expedite
as fast as we can. We are not
solving the problems in South-
east Asia with arms. Men have
minds; let's use them. McNa-
mara should be given his head
more; maybe he could solve
our tragedy. It's not fair to
pursue a foreign policy that's
so contradictory to a decent
philosophy of life.

Foothold

Sharon Hall, freshman: I don't
think it would be right to back
out again, like we've done is
so many countries. If we back-
ed out of Viet Nam, it would be
giving Communism a footho'.d
in Asia. I'm still confused be-
cause I think the U.S. is break-
ing some treaties by being there
(numbers of soldiers, bombing).

Carolyn Gray, sophomore:
I'm terribly unrealistic because
I say let's pull out and bring the
boys home for Christmas; let's
have Christmas in February. I
just hate it because I'm not
aggressive and won't hit you
unless you hit me first and no-
body's hitus. But I realize that's
unrealistic, because somebody
might. I'm tired of the point of
view that America is thepolice-
man for the world.

Gail Miller, freshman: I feel
that we should either go in to
win or pull out completely.
We're losing manpower for a
cause that's not going to pay
off.

Joy Kitchens, freshman: I
can't see how even if we did
win, it would be of any benefit
to us because of the manpower
required to hold what we've
gained* And therefore, in spite
of the domino theory, I am
against the war in Viet Nam.

Kathy Johnson, freshman: I'm
for it. I don't see how we can
possibly withdraw now that
we're so deeply embedded in it.

rill, Anne Marquess, and Evelyn Angeletti; Windy Lundy and

Gilmer, Mary Helen Goodloe, and Zolly Zollicoffer.

There's nothing to do but sit
it out, and hope.

Sally Stanton, freshman: I
feel that it's necessary to a
certain extent, but the escala-
tion is going a little bit too far.

Mixed Opinions

Cornelia DeLee, freshman:
I have mixed opinions about the
war. Occasionally , I feel that
it's a necessary thing, and that
all should be done to end this
war; however, I am often con-
cerned about the moral aspects
of the war. It's definitely a
problem for future thought.

Carol Young, senior: I'm very
much opposed to it. I may not
be very well informed about
everything but I don't under-
stand destroying the people
we're supposed to be doing
something for. I don't know all
the problems involved in say-
ing let's pull out immediately,
but I wish we could do that.

Francis Foreman, junior: We
should be there. I really feel
like ther're some people who've
found that some things are
worse than death. Many people
have chosen death rather than
continuing to live under a Com-
munist system. Everybody's
beefing because nobody likes
the thought of people dying.
That's what people are com-
plaining about, but there might
be a few things worse than death.

Unjustified

Grace Winn, senior: It's a
very complex situaton for
which there are no pat an-
swers. But I basically think that
our presence there is complete-
ly unjustified. There are as-
sumptions the government
hasn't faced. For instance, any
way you look at it, it's a civil
war. We're completely muddy
on when it will all end; I've
heard nothing satisfactory. This
idea that we can understand the
Vietnamese mind, much less
control it, is ridiculous.

Sue Snelling, freshman: I
wish in the first place that we
hadn't gone into Viet Nam, but
now that we're there I think
that we should definitely stay.
There are a lot of Americans
over there now fighting for what
we believe in, and if we with-
draw from Viet Nam now, we're
letting the boys in Viet Nam
down, as well as admitting de-
feat to the Communists.

fessor ^f^m^lishMt^s a ter-

6 A 9 Students
Smoke Less

WASHINGTON, D.C., Jan. 16
(CPS)-- Freshmen who have
poor grades and participate in
few campus activities are also
likely to be smokers, a recent
University of Illinois study has
shown.

Published in the current is-
sue of the American Medical
Association's Journal, the study
of 3,557 freshmen showed 40
per cent to be smokers.

The director of the study, Dr.
Dorothy Dunn, said "there was
an inverse association between
grade averages and smoking."
She reported 16.7 per cent of
the "A" students smoke while
59J per cent of the students
below the "D" level have the
nicotine habit.

Dr. Dunn reported that par-
ticipation in campus activities
reduced the odds of a student's
smoking. A third of campus or-
ganization leaders and 39 per
cent of their clubs' members
smoked; almost 50 per c nt of
the non-joiners smoked.

rible war, but I don't see that
there's much choice in it. I
think we're necessarily com-
mitted and have to stay.

Gay Johnson, sophomore:
We're totally wrong in being
there. I take a moralistic point
of view. I'm against killing
people; wars can no longer
solve differences between na-
tions.

Betty Butler, senior: I think
I'm a pacifist. I'm not sure
because I'm not sure how I
would act in a moment of cri-
sis in self-defense. I'm not
sure I would kill in self-de-
fense.

Mary Thomas Bush, junior:
With a brother and a cousin
in Viet Nam, I'm not that fond
of the war. I think we have a
place over there I'm not sure

what we're doing is what we can
do best.

Frenchman

Vladimir Volkoff instructor in
French: I feel in two different
ways. As a Frenchman I feel
politically there is no real
chance for America to win in
Viet Nam. It's just fair for
France to see this war as a
chance to annoy the lion (or
eagle).

As an American, I see that
the absolute evil is communism,
and that anyway you fight com-
munism is all right. I agreed
with MacArthur in the Korea
War. Why not go all the way-
why keep escalating, and esca-
lating? I keep wondering how
America can get out of it-as long
as we don't want to fight all
out.

I don't think America can
from a strategic point of view
afford to lose this foothold, and
I think that the strategic point
of view is the most important
one, as, to my mind, World
"War 3 has already begun. As
a matter of fact it begun in 1917,
when the communists seized
power in Russia.

A Salute to the Arts was
the theme for the premiere of
Rich's Centennial celebrations.
A cross-section of the arts
in Atlanta was displayed in the
seven theatres set up in the
store on January24, the pre-
miere.

Entertainment included two
folk-rock combos, the Atlanta
Symphony Strings, the Academy
Children's theatre, the Wits
End Players, the Opera Atlanta
Quartet, the Atlanta Civic Bal-
let and a group of soldiers from
Fort McPherson.

A gallery of photography and
an exhibit of painting and sculp-
ture will be in the downtown
store until February 4. Fer-

Mo eking s

From
Ramona

Dear Mom,

I'm so excited I just can't
study. I leave at 3 this after-
noon. As a matter of fact, I
haven't been able to study all
week. It was a good thing that
one of my professors decided
not to give us a test. But then
the class begged him to have
one. Yes, back by popular de-
mand; a test. I wonder if it's
too late to drop the course.

I had a very interesting date
the other night. I met him ra-
ther by accident in Main the
week before when he had a date
with someone else. Then he
called me so we went to"Fide-
lio." The experience almost
matched last weekend's. Not
only could he not drive, but he
couldn't even see.

The performance was at
Westminster and we walked
through the bomb shelter on the
way to the auditorium. He just
couldn't take it in about it be-
ing a bomb shelter, with food
and water and all. He wanted to
have a snack, but I talked him
out of it.

It was great lift this week with
all the boys on campus during
their semester breaks. The big-
gest thrill was meeting Robbie's
friend Bob. Surprisingly he was
such a gentleman and quite fun-
ny. He asked me to the dance,
since Robbie will be in Washing-
ton; but since I'll be in Prince-
ton and he'll be at Chapel Hill,
we decided to cancel it.

Some of the more interesting
boys were some colorful little
fellows who came out to visit.
I think they are the same ones
Bronwyn DuKate took to the
zoo last week.

I hear that Winthrop is mad
at Susan so he's going to the
dance with Grindl.

It really sounds like the
dance is going to be fun. 1
kinda wish I could go, espe-
cially since Joy Griffin forced
me to buy a ticket.

I must finish packing.

Love,
Ramona

THE PROFILE g FEBRUARY 2, 1967

PAGE 4

Is Typical Agnes Scott Student

Sophomore Carolyn Gray was
dining in a restaurant in South
Carolina sometime last sum-
mer when the waitress asked
her< where she went to school.
When Carolyn said Agnes
Scott, the woman replied, "I
knew "it had to be some place
like that; you have such nice
table manners."

Yes. Agnes Scott does have
an image. Of course, each Scott
student is an individual, but the
"outside" has a general view,
almost necessarily. And those
"Images" of The Agnes Scott
Student are as individual as the
students themselves.

C. Benton Kline, dean of the
faculty, was asked to charac-
terize Scott's image in the
community and in the South.
In the educational world, ac-
cording to Dean Kline, Agnes
Scott is seen as "a liberal
arts college, with a very stiff
academic program, and first
rate students."

To people in small Southern
towns Scott is "a top flight
institution where students are
outstanding people.' They think
it is a good place for your
daughter to go if she can
get in.

Leaders

In Atlanta, people think the
girls are "very polite and
thoroughly nice." They see cha-
racter and personality more
than the intellectual side. Ge-
nerally, alumnae are seen as
dedicated, hardworking, skill-
ful with social consciousness.
They are the people that do
things, the leaders.

Perhaps the most intimate
picture from the outside comes
from boys in colleges in

the Atlanta area.

Says Georgia Tech student
Hodge Golson, a member of
Kappa Alpha fraternity, "Well,
I think it's the best place to
date, and I'm going on my
fourth year, of course, you've
got various types as you have
anywhere. You've gotsomecute
ones and some that are prudes.
But I wouldn't trade it for any-
thing! They're pretty nice
chicks."

"They are prudish and unrea-
listic," says Emory sophomore
Bobby Durden.

K ules

Most boys asked did not se-
parate the girls from the rules
governing them. Alpha Tau
Omega Bo Powell, of Tech, who
has also dated Scott girls for
four years, says, "It used to be
a joke around here to date a

Scottie, but now more boys are
dating them. The girls now have
a more liberal interpretation of
rules. Four years ago the girls
were so busy looking for other
girls who might turn them in for
anything, they couldn't have any
fun or be any fun on a date.'"

An Emory Business School
student, who confesses he has
has very seldom met a Scott
student he wanted to date a
second time, says, "But the
more lenient regulations have
brought emancipation to the
Scottie and generally they now
seem much more attractive."

Two other boys said the girls
should be allowed to drink; one
said they are more reserved
than girls in co-ed schools,
maybe because of the drinking
rule.

The lucky Tech student who
answered the phone when our
roving reporter called Terry
dorm said, "Scott girls are
more serious than girls from
other colleges in the area. They
are more confined to school,
one area. The honor system
keeps them inhibited."

Still other students asked
made a distinction between
those "confined" by the rules
and those not. Says a male
Emory sophomore. "There is
not 'the' Scott girl. There are
two distinct kinds: there're
girls that go by the rules and
turn you in if you go to the din-
ing hall in curlers, and there're
girls who when they work, they
work, and when they play, they
play."

Svv injjers

"There is a certain group
that are real swingers, sharp,
fun to date, great," according
to Tech Phi Delta Theta Char-
lie Robbs, "but the majority
are just there and 'forget it!'"

Finally, some potential da-
ters seem to be looking for
something beyond the rules
and what they can touch.

Jim Ratteree, of Tech's Tau
Kappa Epsilon, says, "First of
all, as far as the image around
town is concerned, I think it's
pretty favorable to them. It's
a good school it's a real good
school-and for this reason, they
are impressed. As far as Tech
is concerned, it's a matter of
debate. I do like Scott girls.

Decatur and
North Decatur

It depends on your taste in girls
if you prefer more intelligent
girls than just broads. I like a
girl that can carry on an intelli-
gent conversation, and I can.
usually find such a girl at
Scott."

Sincere Respect

Tech Sigma Chi John Lee, who
thrilled Agnes Scott students as
Frankie in "Frankie and John-
nie were Roommates" states,
"Having been a regular member
of Scott during Black Cat, I found
there was more to be appreciat-
ed than solely the desireability
of Scott girls as dates. I have
developed a sincere and deep
respect for the creativity and
originality of Scott women, and
I am proud to have been part of
Scott tradition. I have a stand-
ing invitation from Dr. and Mrs.
Alston to be Scott's first coed
and the more I reflect on how
impressed I was during Black
Cat, the more I want to trans-
fer."

Random comments included
these anonymous ones from the
Tech Baptist Student Union. "I
think of a rich girl, one who
doesn't have to worry about
money and studies frivolous
things, learning to be a socia-
lite instead of something use-
ful. Snobbish? Yes and they
all like to hang around with
frat guys. But I must admit
that the only one I know per-
sonally is an exact opposite
of that."

According to another, "I have
a good opinion of all of you.
You're sophisticated not
snobs and you really have
class. There's just something
about you all that I love."

S n o l> I) i s in

A University of North Caro-
lina student thinks of intellec-
tual snobbism. He thinks Scott
students feel mildly superior,
and in many ways are superior,
especially academically. "They
are much less interested in
dating than at other schools.
At the same time there is
a freer expression of acade-
mic interest."

The consensus of those asked
at Columbia Seminary was that
Agnes Scott is a place where
you are drilled full of idealism
and you think you're going to
graduate and save the world
and all you do is teach. 1 '

One interesting comment co-
mes from a Mercer girl who
says, "They're the party go-
ing type and have lots of acti-
vities. I've never heard any-
thing bad about their social
conduct although they seem a
little wild. They walk nastier
than we do. Agnes Scott, like
most girls' schools is thought

"In general, they're more
or less the cool type, although
they're pretty friendly. All I

can do is to compare them to
the girls around here. Agnes
Scott has more different ty-
pes-some are super-sophis-
ticated, some kind of wierd -
they go in for wierd records
and playing the piano all the
time. They're quite a few in-
troverted brains; some must
be admitted just on scholar-
ship, whereas my school looks
for the well-rounded, good gra-
des and popularity type."

R eserv ed

Another Mercer student con-
curs, "Some qualities are in-
stilled in them by Scott. You're
a Scott girl so you have to act
in a certain way in public;
you're expected to be sophis-
ticated and reserved, like here
you're expected to be friend-
ly to everyone. Scott would like
them to be the sweet little girl,
naive and studious. But at par-
ties I'd call their conduct wild.

"They seem wild and are us-
ually the grossest acting girls
there. I think that's because
most girls brought up in high
society are that way.

Mod Dress

These Mercer students
brough up two points which a
few other people questioned also
mentioned - dress and snob-
bery. One of the Mercer girls
says, "They dress different-
ly in the dorm; they wear kind
of mod dress, like dungarees
and patterned stockings. But
in public it's different - like
they'd never think of going to
a fraternity game in jeans or
buzzing around on a motorcycle.
I picture them always wearing
a hat when they dress up."

The Chapel Hill student thinks
thet are sloppy and less in-
terested in dress than girls at
other schools.

Harry Wood, youth minister
at Decatur First Methodist
Church states, "A Scott girl is
always dressed nicely not du-
ring the week, but on weekends,
they look sharp."

Again, one of the students
from Mercer says, "Agnes
Scott girls seem to be too par-
ticular about their friends.
They're not willing to take a lot
of people in. When you talk,
they look at you so critically,
they turn this expectant special
attention on you as if they're
appraising you for everything
you say. Maybe the study pres-
sure makes them preoccupied.
There's a lot more pressure
than there is here and they're
taken up with their own respon-
sibilities. To uphold the Agnes
Scott image I think the girls try
to be sophisticated and intelli-
gent acting because they think
that's what is expected."

High Society

The other states, "I've never
been to Agnes Scott, but my first
thoughts are that they would be
wealthy, high-society, intelli-
gent, kind of worldly. The Scott
girls I've seen are always "ap-
propriately" dressed, well -
versed, interested in culture
and good students. Some people
dislike them on first impres-
sions because they envy them.
They'd like to be in an exclu-
sive school like Scott. You have
to be fantastically intelligent
to get into the place.

"Most girls here- are from
small, friendly Georgia towns
and they're more genuine than
Scott girls usually. They make
you feel like you're supposed
to be in awe."

Woody Bartlett, col lege chap
lain for All Saints Episcopal

Church, says that there is some
snobbishness between Scott stu-
dents and nursing and high
school girls, "but I don't think
it is snobbishness as much as
female rivalry or a sort of 'law
of the jungle' type thing."

"I don't think of them as
snobbish; I think of girls from
Sophie Newcomb and Sullins
as being snobbish. But I just
don't think of girls from Wes-
leyan or Scott that way."

Emory* University co-eds
present their own view of Ag-
nes Scott students, mostly that
they are dying to get out where
the boys are, that they are
strictly controlled by rules.

Says one senior, they are
starved for dates. She knows
some Scott girls and likes them,
but this is the first thing that
comes into her mind.

A girl in Kappa Alpha Theta
says that her impression has
changed a lot from last year
when the Scott girls she knew
seemed extremely boy crazy.
Her impression has improved
now to a respect for the school's
high academic standards which
she got primarily from the Col-
lege Bowl last year. She has no-
ticed that the liberal dorm go-

Low Scorers
'Make It'

NORTHAMPTON, Mass.,
Jan. 13 (CPS) What are the
chances for a student with low
College Board scores to grad-
uate from a highly competitive
college?

According to a Mount Holyoke
experiment of 33 "calculated
risk" students, who averaged
approximately 150 points below
the average Mount Holyoke stu-
dent in verbal College Board
scores, 80 per cent of the risk
girls graduated. This percent-
age equals that for the college
as a whole, year after year.

Miss Clara Ludwig, director
of admissions at Mount Holyoke,
accepted the 33 students for the
class of 1966.

She reported that of the 27
risk graduated, three ranked in
the top quarter of the class and
did honor work.

Miss Ludwig discovered, how-
ever, that the college careers of
two-thirds of the risk girls were
in tht bottom half of their class
at the end of freshman year,
and at the end of four years,
oik. -third of the risk students
graduated at the bottom quarter
of the class.

None of these girls were
"disadvantaged." They closely
resembled the class as a whole
in kinds of background and geo-
graphical distribution, accord-
ing to Miss Ludwig.

Wild?

vernment at Emory seems to
cause Scott transfers to take
advantage of their freedom and
this causes her to think we don't
have enough freedom of choice
and responsibility.

Strict Rules

A girl in Chi Omega sorority
said she had the impression that
the rules at Scott were very
strict, the school was academi-
cally hard but that Scott was a
very good school academically
and socially.

The opinions of some non-
students was gathered. Mrs.
Mary Jordan, housemother of
the Tech Phi Delta Theta house
says, "The first thing, the most
outstanding, they're dependa-
ble. They show good breeding,
always polite, and ladylike. I've
never seen anyone over here
that has done anything inappro-
priate. The association I've had
with them has always been plea-
sant."

Figi house mother Mrs. Sut-
sly says "Scott girls are nice
and I'd like to see more of
them at the fraternity." She
was surprised and disapprov-
ing that some of the go-go girls
at one of the parties were from
Scott. "They are usually better
dressed and less faddish than
most of the girls who come
here."

Prudish

"I must say first that I mar-
ried a Scott girl," says Woody
Bartlett, "but I think that the
Tech boys tend to look down on
the Scott girls even though they
do most of their dating here. I
have long thought of your school
as a prudish institution, but I
find that it is changing.

"The school has a respect-
able image, academically, and
it is a remarkable school in its
administration and faculty.
They are closely related to the
students it works and is good.
I don't think they realize how
good they actually have it."

A worker in the dining hall
reports that students are incon-
siderate to the help because
they don't pay attention to what
they're doing in the lines; they
are too busy talking to friends.

Roland Perdue, a Presby-
terian minister who works with
the Synod of Georgia says most
ASC graduates are unrealis-
tically ready to save the world
and end up being mothers and
PTA presidents who make
themselves and their husbands
miserable.

Wife of former Atlanta ma-
yor William B. Hartsfield says
that Scott is expensive.

When asked about the Agnes
Scott image, Former Georgia
Fifth District Congressman
Charles Longstreet Weltner
thought of three words: "schol-
arship, discipline, and excel-
lence."

Callaway

Defeated gubernatorial can-
didate for Georgia Howard
"Bo" Callaway says that Agnes
Scott is "tops."

Georgia governor Lester
Maddox states that Scott is a
"very nice school for young
ladies."

Peace Corps recruiter Mar-
gurett Norton, who was here
last week, said, "Being from
Georgia, I know that Agnes
Scott is a very good school
academically. The girls we have
talked with have been friendly
and interested, and have asked
intelligent questions. I like the
atmosphere of a small school.
It's not snobbish."

First Impression

With her was Mike Gale, who
stated, "I'm from California,
so I'll have to speak from my
first impression. The girls all
seem to come from fine fami-
lied. They are interested in
more than just their class work
and local happenings. They have
widespread interests."

The owner of the record shop
in Decatur says, "They can't be
catalogued. I've met some real
kooks, but mostly they are a
very nice group of girls."

According to R.J. Martin of
the geology department at
Emory, they are academically
superior, carefully, conscious
of tradition and indoctrinated.
They date less but more for-
mally. Agnes Scott will pro-
duce loyal alumnae of life-time
duration. "I've known some,"
he says.

Faculty

A few members of the Agnes
Scott faculty were consulted.
Says Penelope Campbell, assis-
tant professor of history and po-
litical science, "Before coming
to Agnes Scott to teach, I heard
that it was a manufacturing cen-
ter for Presbyterian ministers'
wives where stuffy formal teas
were entertainment. The at-
mosphere here IS very con-
servative but improving. I find
the students very interesting
with a great deal of ability.

IS THE SCOTT IMAGE of a frivolous, boy-crazy socialite? Linda
Marks demonstrates the picture many people have of Agnes
Scott students.

But there is a need to get stu-
dents from a wider range of
financial background."

"The girls are LOVELY!"
says instructor in French
Vladimir Volkoff, "I am very
impressed by their friendli-
ness; in France a teacher is
the natural enemy of the stu-
dent. But here even the girls
I do not teach speak to me in
passing. The student-teacher
relationship here is very good."

Soandret t

Dean of students Carrie Scan-
drett says, "Scott girls are
generally intelligently alert and
interesting. As a group, they
are characterized by their de-
sire to prepare themselves to
take their places in society
and by their genuine concern
for their fellow man.

"An Agnes Scott girl is
thoughtfully considerate, she
learns to use her heart as well
as her head. She comes to Ag-
nes Scott for its Christian at-
mosphere and its academic
standards. There is not really
an image because the girls are
individuals. There's no distinct
type of Scott girls except that
they have in common these pur-
poses for choosing Agnes Scott.

"The image is not changing
basically; the girls are re-
garded as normal and up to
date, I think. The qualities which
they possess perhaps are not
wholly realized here as much
as when they go out into the
community and reflect what
they have gained. While they
are here their perspective is
not as clear as it will be-
come."

ASC Students

Finally, a number of Agnes
Scott students were asked to
try to typify themselves. Many
found they could not.

Mary Ann McCall, junior,
"I don't think there's a typi-
cal Agnes Scott girl. There is
an image because people think
of an upper middle class back-
ground. The people I know aren't
the same not the background
or experience. Wejiave a va-
riety of everything.

A freshman; "There two dif-
ferent images of what Scott girls
are like. One is of a prim and
proper lady; the other is the
exact opposite. A college can't
be typified by an image."

No Snobbishness

Senior Nancy McLean: "I
don't think there is a typical
Agnes Scott girl, even though
boys may think so. The girls
here cover such a wide spec-
trum, from the very social to
the very academic. The aca-
demic standards here are very
high. I think there is less of
the "social butterfly" type here
than at other girls schools. Con-
trary to what some people seem
to think, I don't think there is
any snobbishness."

Senior Louise Wright: "The
Agnes Scott image differs from
place to place. In my experience
I have found that the Emory
students have a low opinion of
the typical Scottie. I think our
image is better at Tech. The
overall image has improved, as
a result of changes here. Per-
sonally, I have a very good
opinion of Scott girls. There are
so many different kinds of girls
here, but the types are well ba-
lanced. I like 'em."

Others did offer an image
from within the confines.

Peggy Chapman, freshman:
"An Agnes Scott student is a
person who is aware of what is
going on around her, perceptive,
considerate, thoughtful and de-
dicated to her convictions. She

THE PROVINCIAL PIUS PROUD-
Of-It SCOTTIE is captured by

realizes she is at Agnes Scott
to learn, to grow and to make
herself a better person. But at
the same time she realizes that
her life must contain pleasure
and relaxation and the happi-
ness which comes from them.
Most of all, an Agnes Scott
girl tries to think of others
as well as herself."

'Scotties Care'

Dusty Kenyon, freshman: "I
like to think that Scotties - all
of them - are distinguished by
the sincere concern that they
show towards other people. It
is this element of considera-
tion that makes life on the Ag-
nes Scott campus unique from
that of other campuses. Scotties
care."

Penny Burr, sophomore:
"Though we lose sight of it
too often, Agnes Scott is a won-
derful place to grow- to learn
how to live and to discover
what kind of person you are.
The typical Scottie comes here
because she wants to be with
people with whom she can seek,
then she can leave with a foun-
dation upon which to build. I
think of a Scottie as looking for
a living faith.' '

Provincial

A junior finds the majority of
the students pitifully provincial
and unrealistic. "I think they
are looking for the wrong
things," she says. "Most are
either frivolous or goody-goo-
dy."

"I think the student body is
getting more conservative,
more provincial, more willing
to accept what's fed to them,"
remarks a senior. "And I think

it's bad. I think our class is
great because we're not all
alike.'

So where do we end up? Many
laughs later, no doubt, and about
where associate professor of
biology Leonard Doerpinhaus
was when he stated, "I really
don't think there IS an Agnes
Scott image.. ..I think, however,
there are some who would like
to make an image of the girls."

Bookstore Bulge

Have you been in the bookstore since
those frantic first days of the quarter'? If
you haven't recovered from that mad house,
we understand. But maybe you have been
there. Maybe you searched hours for
psych flashcards, which are cleverly hid-
den behind the 1 1 Movables" and inspira-
tional phamplets.

Maybe you were looking at Peanuts cards
and backed into the stocking rack, sprain-
ing your ankle. Would you believe trying
to find a book in a stack containing, among
other works. "The Dissolution of the Hab-
sburg Monarchy," "Three Plays of Ra-
cine, "Introduction to Existentialism,"
"The Poetry of Dylan Thomas" (which is
a critical work, incidentally), "The Impact
of Freudian Psychiatry," "Philosophy of
Democratic Government," "Medieval Is-
lam," and "Greek Tragedies," volumes
2 and 3?

There is clearly a need for more space.
We are not blaming the bookstore; the
managers have made a very efficient use of
the space. The new shelves and cubbyholes
to the floor are hard on the back, but good
for the notebook paper.

And lack of organization results fre-
quently when browsers put books back in
the wrong places. (But there are very few
browsers in our bookstore; most people
want to avoid claustrophobia.)

As a matter of fact we are not blaming
anyone. We are pointing out that something
needs to be done now. And not when the
money is raised, and the plans drawn, and
the new student center moved into.

With Agnes Scott's increasing enroll-
ment, the affluent society's increasing in-
terest in books reflected in our bookstore,
and students' demand for items other than
books, the possibility of expansion, prob-
ably into the classroom behind the book-
store toward Campbell, needs to be consid-
ered seriously.

Week-End Games People Can Play

Exams Represent Foibles;
Humphrey,DylanFall Prey

by Ed Schwartz

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10 (CPS) Wind-up dolls have had their day; magazine hybrids never got
started; "would you believe" has been run into the ground it's Lime for something new. With
some finals just past , a new rhetorical pasttime suggests itself exams for the examined,
'The examined" are those whose foibles are on the collective lips of the nation. The exams are
designed to represent those foibles. The following are several to get the ball rolling:

The Hubert Humphrey exam:
You start off with an original
thesis, but end by repeating the
lectures verbatim.

The Bob Dylan exam: Good
answers, but you can't read the
handwriting.

The William
exam: You have
half the essay.

The Warren Commission
exam: Convincing at first
glance, but tends to fall apart
on second reading.
The Stokely Carmichael examr
Most of the class flunks.

The George Hamilton III

Board From
Six States

Agnes Scott Board of Trus-
tees is a group of 32 business
and professional men and wo-
men from six states.

The six women on the board
are alumnae of Agnes Scott.
Most of them are homemakers,
but two of them are also au-
thors. Mrs. Leonard LeSourd
of Boynton Beach, Fla. is bet-
ter known to her readers as
Catherine Marshall. Mrs. Mary
Beth Little Weston a wife and
mother, is also a magazine wri-
ter.

Six of the men are husbands
of alumnae, and four trustees
had daughters attend Agnes
Scott. There is a duplication
here because Dean Emeritus S.
Guerry Stukes is the husband of
an alumna and the father of one.

The tradition of the college
has been continued through the
years. The vice-chairman of
the Board of Trustees is Alex
P. Gaines, the grandson of the
first president of the college.

According to Edward McNair,
Director of Public Relations and
Development, most of the men
on the board are in business,
the ministry, or the legal pro-
fession.

exam: You flunk the exam,
but get an "A" in the course.

The Ada m Clayton Powell
exam: You get caught cheating.

The TIME Magazine exam:
Your style is entertaining, but
your content is distorted.

The Cassius Clay exam: You
get sidetracked by answers
which have nothing to do with
the course.

The Ronald Reagan exam:
The same exam given in two
different courses.

The Dean Rusk exam: You
repeat the same answers over
and over again.
The Beatles exam: You scream
as soon as you see it.

The Robert Kennedy exam:
Pretty good, but not nearly as
good as the last one.

The Johnny Carson exam:
The professor interrupts you
every ten minutes for further
instructions.

The George Romney exam:
You decline to answer the most
difficult questions.

The Students for a Demo-
cratic Society exam: You at-
tack the professor's sex life.

The Bill Movers exam: You
shoot your bolt on the first two
questions and leave early.

The Marshall McLuhan exam:
Returned with a large question

Have you ever wondered what
to do with a date on Saturday
afternoon? With the big Win-
ter Weekend coming up, this
problem will seize many at ASC.

Social Council has wisely
planned a Hub Folk Sing at
2:00 p.m. But before and after
this activity, there are hours
of free time. Your problem is
how to fill these hours and
we have some solutions.

The classic idea is "take
your date to the date parlor,
where he belongs." For this
simple idea, you must plan a
campout for Friday night in
your favorite date parlor. Then
with Saturday's rush, you will
already have claim to one.

If the pigeons don't all die
out before Saturday, maybe even
catch a few and "band" their
legs. Lying in the grass on
your stomachs, hands outstre-
tched and filled with stale pop-
corn will attract many hungry
pigeons and many wondering
stares. If you are allergic to
pigeons' teeth, simply sit on
the steps of Buttrick and study
the habits of pigeons.

Relay races are always funl
Get together three of four of
your favorite couples, choose

by Marilyn Merrell

into teams, and go to Maclean
Auditorium. The object of this
first race is for your team to
be first in slamming down all
the seats in a section. One team
has the left section and the
other uses the right section.

Slamming the seats can be
handled in various ways: each
team member could be respon-
sible for four rows. Or, half
the team could run up the aisle
pushing seats down, and the
other half run down the aisle
pulling seats up. The team wins
whose members have all had a
run.

The second relay is another
race-up and down the halls of
Buttrick. Of course, hide-and-
seek or piggy wants a signal
would be ideal games for Dana
with all the inviting nooks and
crannies.

Another idea for the more ad-
venterous concerns travel.
Take a bus in front of school
for Stone Mountain. Get off a
few stops before the end with
a transfer slip. Then ride down-
town and get another transfer.
Go to Lenox Square, then tell
the driver you thought you w ere
going to Emory! Panic and get

everyone else excited, then ask
directions from the driver. Ask
enough to confuse him, then
get a transfer.

Many visitors are fascinat-
ed by our campus, so for the
out-of-town boy, take him on
a tour of our campus. Be sure
to include the "Old Faithful"

steam building. Of course, you
will want tc hang ground long
enough to see the steam >shoor
off. To appreciate this wonder,
time the intervals between
steam shoots. Call his atten-
tion to the ASC - initialed to-
wer, too.

The next suggestion is for the
athletic couples: walk the wall
running from the dining hall
behind Walters. Butpleasedon't
crush the ivy!

Why not take the "Winter
Key to Trees on the Agnes
Scon Campus" from your bo-
tany lab manual and identify
all the trees?

Put "Do not disturb" signs
on all the doors of empty date
parlors. Or organize a spit
tournament. Camoflouge the
trash cans to look like mail-
boxes. Camflouge your blind
date to look like a human be-
ing.

mark.

The LSD exam: You take
twelve hours to finish it and
two days to recuperate.

The New York City exam:
You can't pull any of your an-
swers together.

The Charles de Gaulle exam:
You announce to the class that
you don't want to take it.

The George Wallace exam:
Your girlfriend takes it for you.

The Berkeley exam: You rip
up the paper three times and try
to start again.

The draft exam: You try to
cut the class.

The Richard Nixon exam: You
give ten different answers to
each question.

The Martin Luther King exam:
You see the same technique
as on the last test but it doesn't
work.

The General Ky exam: You
keep asking for more time.

The Jimmy Hoffa exam: You
didn't know the material on the
others either, but this is the one
you flunk.

The pop art exam: You hand
in a blank piece of paper.

The Jean Dixon exam: You
answer all the questions to the
next exam.

The Lyndon Johnson exam:
You can't believe the questions.

On a recent Friday afternoon
the football season opened at
Scott. Perhaps it wasn't an of-
ficial opening but it was a real
live tackle football game, boast-
ing eight freshmen players who
chased each other around the
hockey field with some rather
doubtful interpretations of foot-
ball rules.

For the few onlookers it was
an exciting spectacle - eight
girls who seemed to spend most
of their time on a very wet
ground, some touchdowns that
would surely not be recognized
by the NFL, and some defi-
nitely fascinating tackles.

In the end, Hurricane Hat-
field's Horrors trampled Car-
olina Conder's Catastrophes in
an 18-12 victory.

The game was fast and fur-
ious despite the fact that time-
out periods often lasted longer
than time-in periods. In addi-
tion, a new tackle was intro-
duced whereby a player is clev-
erly brought down when the
tackier grabs onto the runner's
sweatshirt and simply hangs on
until the runner goes down.

by Colleen Nugent

Exactly who originated the
tackle is uncertain since it was
used freely by both reams.

In spite of the rather unath-
letic condition of all players
the game was enjoyed by all,
and the teams look forward to
another attempt by the class of
'70 to destroy the seventy-eight
year-old tradition that has iden-
tified the Scottie with dignity,
poise, and tranquillity.

After all. Today the hockey
field. Tomorrow the 1 Qramge
Bowl. n Q t

Ann Worthy Johnson, direc-

the goal of the continuing educa-
tion program in saying, "The

purpose is not to give a full
college course, but to give the
alumna a channel through which
she can continue her education

on her own by supplementing
her reading. Thus, the program
is one of 'continuing' in two
senses."

Students
Active

(CPS) College Students else-
where are also politically active

Student lobbyists at the Uni-
versity of Utah have prepared
their first proposal for the state
legislature removal of the
state sales tax on textbooks.

The Legislative Relations
Committee, formed last De-
cember by the student govern-
ment, plans to urge the legisla-
ture to amend a state law regu-
lating tax exemptions on sales
to government, religious and
charitable organizations.

John Kesler, author of the
proposed amendment, said that
while state-owned educational
institutions are required bylaw
to pay sales taxes on books,
religious groups are exempt.

The amendment, which would
not apply to non-educational
items sold by the college book-
store, is based on the principle
that education should not be
taxed.

The student lobbyists have no
official connection with the Uni-
versity administration.

Clowns Of Court
Spice Basketball

by Evelyn Angeletti

Lost in the tenseness of com-
petition, a sport like basketball
seems to misplace some of the
participation - for -fun's - sake
quality emphasized here at
Scott. But warmth and a hail-
fellow feeling dominated the
senior - freshman game last
Friday. The senior sextet, who
referred to themselves as the
Clowns of the Court, earned
laughter and applause for an-
tics in retaining the freshmen
to a 25-14 win.

. The freshmen, however, did
not bow in defference to age.
They preferred to keep a firm
lead in the scoring while en-
joying the floor show. Chris
Robin's squad was led by Eli-
zabeth Crum with ten points
and Camille Johnson with eight.

The seniors relied on Day
Gilmer's scoring prowess for
the sum of their 14 points and
on the rest of the team's defen-
sive ingenuity to keep the fresh-
men alert. Once, senior Mary
Barnett was triple-teamed by
eager freshmen.

Unable to pass the ball
through the tangle of arms and
bodies, she ducked and rolled
the ball between the legs of
an opponent to a waiting team-
mate. At another point in the
game, Peter Pan's Judy Nuc-
kols found herself examining
the court's floor design at close
range. She promptly converted
the basketball into a pillow for
more comfortable viewing.

At half-time, the seniors
sprawled on one side of the
court. The freshmen, who had
caught the spirit of the game,
honored the seniors by parad-
ing in front of them singing "We
Are Tired Old Seniors."

The game ended on a note of
triumph for the freshmen and
of contentment for the senior
Clowns of the Court.

The senior - freshmen play
was preceded by the duel bet-
ween the juniors and the so-
phomores. Popeye mastered
Raggedy Ann's forces by a final
score of 27-23.

Battlelines were drawn early
in the game. The juniors set up
a tight defense which left few
holes for possible sophomore
lay-ups. The sophomores pre-

ferred to shoot from the out-
side rather than run plays
under the basket.

This stategy caused Kate Mc-
Kemie of the P.E. department
to call out, "He who hestitates
is lost." Miss McKemie's ob-
servation foretold the outcome
of th rame.

The soph defense began in a
close formation around the free
throw lane. Much effective ju-
nior scoring from the outside
forced Raggedy Ann to relax
the zone to cover more of the
floor. At the end of the half,
the juniors led 20-11.

In the last two quarters, the
sophomores refused to concede
so wide a margin of victory.
Flashing the ball up-court for
baskets, the sophomores col-
lected 12 points to the junior
seven. In the last two minutes
of play, the juniors gained pos-
session of the ball and froze
the play to insure their win.
This tactic caused one sopho-
more guard to note after the
game that "the juniors had
people open under the basket
if they had really wanted to
shoot."

High scorer for the juniors
was Lucy Rose with 14 points,
followed by Eleanor McCallie
with nine. WinkieWooten chalk-
ed up ten for the sophomores.

Tomorrow's games find the
juniors against the freshmen at
4 p.m. followed by the seniors
vs. the sophomores at 5 p.m.

"a Long And Happy Life' _j Weltner Gives Position,
Price NovelDeals
With Rosacoke

by Susan Aikman

History In 'Southerner'

The Mustian family became
familiar to Agnes Scott students
first through the story of Milo
in "A Generous Man." Those
who were intrigued by the Nor-
th Carolians then will be in-
terested in Reynolds Price's
earlier novel, "A Long and
Happy Life."

Although written before "A
Generous iMan", the action ta-
kes place at a later date. Here
the reader encounters the 19-
year-old Rosacoke and experi-
ences with her the trials of at-
tain ng full adulthood.

"A Long and Happy Life" en-
compasses almost all the extre-
mities of life from birth to ap-
proaching adulthood to old age
to death. Each is seen in a dif-
ferent character but each af-
fects greatly Rosacoke's com-
ing of age.

The story centers around
Rosacoke's six -year-old "ro-
mance" with neighbor Wesley
Beavers who seems often more
interested in his motorcycle and
Norfolk girls than in his home-
town girlfriend. Also central to
the story are Rosacoke's rela-
tionships with the other people
in the communing ranging from
her Negro friend who died giv-
ing birth to an illegitimate child,

"Southerner" is a "small
comment" on the past, pres-
ent, and future changes in the
South "by one who loves the
South, and who has had a part,
however small, in bringing them
about" (p. 13). This is what
Charles Longstreet Weltner,
Georgia's ex- Fifth District Con-
gressman, believes his book to
be.

"Southerner" is actually
three books in one. The first is
a basically autobiographical
section which begins dramati-
cally with Weltner's being the

to the old man in DelightChurch
who wanted to die but couldn't.
Throughout all these things, the
influence of Wesley on Rosa-
coke's life is seen.

"A Long and Happy Life" will
perhaps seem clearer and more
understandable to Agnes Scott
students than "A Generous
Man" not only because the sym-
bolism is not quite as developed,
but simply because it is about
the problems of a girl, not of a
boy.

'Indian Summer 9
Subtle As Graham

by Linda Marks

The book-jacket reviewer of "Indian Summer" says this:
"John Knowles has written a novel which affirms his position
as one of our best American novelists." This statement is
indisputably true: "Indian Summer," however, is not that
novil. In comparing "A Separate Peace," Knowles' first no-
vel, with "Indian Summer," there is evidence of a sad reversal
of the before-after syndrome. It is as if the gross faults of the
later novel have been corrected in the earlier one.

It is almost superfluous to
mention what these gross faults
are. But perhaps a brief con-
sideration of them will serve
some useful purpose, such as
pointing up the dangers of mar-
tyring one's creativity to the

Skinner Presents
Possible Utopia

Editor's note: In light of the
recent interest In Walden Two,
some of it aDDroarhina violence
we are printing this review for

those who cannot read the book,
which is older than the others
mentioned here.

Is Utopia a realistic idea?
Centuries of religion, philoso-
phy, and education have failed
to create heaven on earth. B.F.
Skinner, in his book Walden Two
suggests a form of Utopia which
may be realized in this century.
Skinner, a Harvard professor,
is well-known for research in
psychology, particularly in the
field of operant conditioning.
In his book he envisions the use
of scientific principles to pro-
duce a society where men will
live together in peace and hap-
piness, doing away entirely with
cruelty and selfishness so ap-
parent in contemporary society.

As a literary work, the book
leaves a great deal to be de-
sired. The obvious vehicle six
people on a tour of the Walden
Two community wears a little
thin at times. Yet the endless
discussion and the visitor's
varying reactions, rangingfrom
opposition to simple acceptence
of a wonderful reality, serve ad-
mirable for Skinner's purpose
outlining a new basis for an
unparalleled way of human life.

liven though the book does
not solve all the problems of
establishing a Utopia, it ob-
viously is the product of sy-
stematic observation of the
w orld's problems and a brilliant
attempt to solve them. Skinner's
solution is truely Utopian.
"What we ask is that a man's
work shall not tax his strength
or threaten his happiness. Our
energies can then be turned
toward art, sciences, play, and
the exercise of skills, the sa-
tisfaction of curiosities, the
conquest of man. of man him-

Francis Foreman

self, but never of other men.
We have created leisure with-
out slavery, a society which
neither sponges nor makes
war."

The community is based on
maximum efficiency and scien-
tific control. For instance, the
factors which influence the
forming of an individual child's
character are agreed on and
controlled by the whole com-
munity and not by inconsistant
parents who may or may not
have the qualifications or time
for successful child raising.
The whole community is built
around behavioral engineers
yet the only information given
about them is that they achieve
amazing results.

Skinner's main purpose
seems to be to encourage those
people who have valid criti-
cism of society to consider a
scientific, communal approach,
but he fails to suggest any way
of beginning such a project.
Many imaginative people would
be ready to sign on the dotted
line if such a community as
Walden Two were actually a
going reality. Others would not
be as ready to give up the
extremes of human existence
and feeling. Hazy as his me-
thods might appear, Skinner
has presented a possibility.

Parents
Weekend

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1)

commented that "this Sopho-
more Parents Weekend is going
to show a lot ofsophomore^rea-
ti\ity for acha.ige, for example,
with the art displays and Sa-
turday's Chapel. We're trying
to give the parents an over-all
picture of Agnes Scott."

American hardback-novel -
reading public's demands.

The novel is hardly more
subtle than a Billy Graham
crusade. Its didactic message
is this; it's more important
in the long run to be yourself
than to be rich. But unlike "A
Separate Peace" (which mana-
ges to get inside of a particu-
lar and many-faceted situation
through the sensitive and syn-
thesizing mind of a persona),
this novel merely recounts the
entirely predictable reactions
of seven type-cast characters
to a very ordinary situation.
The novel is - at best - a para-
phrase of what is real.

Not only are the characters
transparent, but also the plot
(which could at least raise the
book to the level of a Gothic
novel) is simply dull. Cleet
Kinsolving, an idealistic and
healthy young man, returns
from the war and reluctantly
allows himself to be hired as a
private secretary to Neil Rear-
don, his best friend, who has a
hundred million dollars and,
thus, has won fame as an au-
thor.

Though rich, Reardon is un-
happy, and he tries to make
Cleet sell his soul to him. But
the indomitable Cleet finally
resigns his job and, duffel bag
on his shoulder, drifts into the
autumn sunset to take up crop-
dusting in Kansas. Aside from
an airplane crash in which no
one is hurt, and Cleet's inevi-
table advances towards Neil's
wife, nothing else happens.

Our interest is sustained only
by the unfolding self-awareness
of thecharacters, which is com-
municated in this manner: "It
was true that he was beingwell-
paid, but he felt that in ex-
change for his salary he was
slowly giving up his life's
blood;" and "Charley loved him
not because of anything he had
done, but because he was
Cleet.' Certainly this does not
exhibit the delicate craft of the
skillful novelist - the novelist
that John Knowles has been or
is. ______

only Georgian in the House of
Representatives to cast a vote
in favor of the 1964 Civil Rights
Act. Weltner thus begins with
the climax in his own thinking
and goes on to explain how his
thoughts emerged.

Countv IJ n i t S y si e m

Part One deals mainly with
the steps in his political ca-
reer. He discusses his involve-
ment in the legal battle against
Georgia's county unit system,
his participation in Ivan Allen's
campaign for mayor of Atlanta,
and his own campaigns for Con-
gress. Most of the issues dis-
cussed are seen in relation to
his growing convictions about
segregation and the experience s
which made these convictions
grow.

He concludes his section with
his dramatic decision not only
to vo^e for the Civil Rights Act
but to stand up in the House and
speak in favor of the Act.

History Recap

Part Two of "Southerner"
is a recap of Southern history
with a special emphasis on the
racial issue. Weltner includes
this section because he feels
that we must understand the past
in order to have any under-
standing of the "present
strife." (p. 87).

The concluding section is a
prophecy of what the present
can mean and the future can
hold for the South. Weltner
examines the economic oppor-
tunities of this region, the edu-
cational facilities and other

things which are essential for
a developing area.

Danger

He tells of the dangers which
such things as racism and the
Ku Klux Klan could hold ashin-
derances if the South is "to
win." Weltner says that he be-
lieves the South can and will
win.

He closes with these words.
"Our fundamental charter de-
clares all men created equal.
Our basic religion declares us-
our brother's keeper. But the
demand for justice rests not
alone on legal precepts or theo-
logical tenent. It is a demand
that spans creed and clan, age
and continent. It speaks now as
it has to prophet, saint, and pa-
triot and to unnumbered mil-
lions of men and women
throughout all tme.

"It wells up from the heart
as plain truth and clear duty.
"Let right be done." (p. 188).
Six months after the publica-
tion of this book, Charles L.
Weltner proved that these, to
him, are not fancy phrases and
idle words. When he withdrew
from the race for re-election,
he did so because he could not
support the Democratic Party's
nominee for governor of Geor-
gia. At that time he said, "I
love the Congress. But I will
give up my office before I give
up my principles."

Anyone who does not believe
this should read "Southerner".
Anyone who has read "South-
erner" could not doubt the
truth of his statement.

Board Adopts New
Faculty Policy

Agnes Scott Board of Trus-
tees has recently acted upon
a new statement of policy in
regard to the requirements for
> faculty members.

The statement, adopted by
the board January 27, 1967,
is as follows:

Since its inception in 1889,
Agnes Scott College has been a
Christian liberal arts college,
striving for excellence in the
higher education of women. As
stated in its charter, it was
established for the purpose of
"perpetutating and conducting a
a college for the higher edu-
cation of women under aspices
distinctly favorable to the main-
tenance of the faith and prac-
tice of the Christian religion,
but all departments of the Col-
lege shall be open alike to stu-
dents of any religion or sect,
and no denominational or sec-
tarian test shall be imposed
in the admission of students.'*

In order that the purposes for

which the College was founded
and the principles upon which
it has been operated for se-
venty-eight years may be most
effectively implemented, it is
essential to sustain on the cam-
pus conditions "distinctly favo-
rable to the maintenance of the
faith and practice of the Chris-
tian religion."

The Trustees of Agnes Scott
College therefore believe it is
imperative to continue to secure
for the faculty of the College
men and women of the most
competent scholarly training
and teaching historically in the
mainstream of Christian
thought and action, and in the
ecumenical nature of the con-
temporary Christian Church.
Other than this commitment,
the Trustees do not require
of faculty or administration any
theological, sectarian, or ec-
clesiastical preference.

Sophs Welcome Parents
For Annual Weekend Fete

by Betty Sale

Anyone for a "normal picture of Scott"? In the words of class president Tina Bender, this is the
objective of Sophomore Parents' Weekend. The festivities begin with registration Thursday night
and Priday morning followed by a coffee in Walter's basement. Interested parents are invited
to attend classes both Friday and Saturday.

The group will converge later

classrooms packed with in-
terested observers and the aca-
demic routine should round out
the total picture of Scott life.

Dining Hall Losses
Seem On Increase

Fifty-eight dinner plates, 63 bread-and-butter plates, 74
salad plates, and 83 spoons are among the equipment missing
from the dining hall since Christmas.

According to business manager, the disappearance of this
equipment is a most pressing problem, and is costing the col-
lege a great deal of money.

noon. The panel is to be com-
posed of administrative leaders
who are prepared to enlighten
their audience upon the various
aspects of Agnes Scott life.
If bewildered sophomores will
kindly submit their questions
to their respective parents, it
should guarantee a stimulating
session.

class spirit as the sophomores
meet the freshmen on the bas-

pecially will enjoy the demon-
stration of their Raggedy daugh-
ters' athletic dexterity. Here
Tina injects the comment that
the game may be a little tense,
considering the last one, but it
should prove exciting.

Next on the agenda we have
an evening of entertainment
presented by the Dolphin Club.
Afterwards parents are encou-
raged to join the party over in
the psych lab. It's rumored that
typical Agnes Scott types may
be on exhibit. The public should
be informed that they're per-
fectly harmless since they all
wear a ball and chain, just in
case the pressure has been get-
ting to them.

If the parents are ambitious,
they may like to join a guided
tour around Dana to survey the
sophomore art exhibit and va-
rious Cyril paintings. They
should definitely take advantage
of the opening of the Robert

Scott Ranks Ninth With
Women, Fifth In South

College-Rater, an independent organization, has recently published a rating sheet of the nation's
colleges and universities in which Agnes Scott is ranked ninth among women's colleges nationally.

This listing is based on statistical criteria compiled from standard sources. These criteria
are student-faculty ratio, admission standards, numbers of seniors entering graduate school,
numbers of books in the library, number of Merit Scholars admitted, percentage of faculty with
the Ph.D degree, and faculty salaries. After the total points are computed from these criteria, the
colleges are separated into one of three groups: private institutions, state-supported institutions,
or women's colleges.

between the colleges ranked 39
(Washington in Missouri) and
40 (Denison). This list of private

The college has had to buy
new equipment in order to have
enough service for Sophomore
Parents' Weekend.

The loss appears to be in-
creasing. Fall quarter the toll
was $1500; since the first of
winter quarter $1000 has been
spent in this area.

In many cases, the loss is
so great that the number of
students cannot be accomoda-
ted. For example, the 1760 forks
counted at the beginning of the
school year have dwindled to
600 that can be accounted for.

In addition to those listed
above the dining hall has also
lost the following since Christ-
mas: 17 cups, 34 saucers, 15
desert plates, 1 cream pitcher,
110 water glasses, 111 other
glasses, 41 trays, 46 knives,
71 forks, and 35 soup and ce-
real bowls.

House Presidents Council has
been working on the problem
and encouraging students not to
take dishes. Council chairman
Jane McCurdy comments "I
just don't think each student
has a fork. After all, whowants
a plate in her room?

"I think if people take things,
they don't keep them in their
rooms, but put them in the ki-
tchens for the maids to re-
turn. I don't think students are
the whole problem."

On the other hand, one stu-
dent was heard to remark that
some people have "service for
six in their rooms."

Agnes Scott is ranked ninth
following the top Northeastern
girls' schools. Radcliffe was
listed in first place and was
follovsed (in this order) by Bryn
Mawr, Wellesley, Pembroke,
Mount Holyoke, Barnard, Vas-
sar, Smith, and Agnes Scott.

Placed after Scott were (also
in this order): Wells, Connec-
ticut, Sophie Newcomb, Chat-
ham, Goucher, Wilson, Sarah
Lawrence, Randolph - Macon,
Scripps, Jackson, Sweet Briar,
Hollins, Manhattanville, Whea-
ton (Massachusetts), and Mary
Baldwin.

Although Agnes Scott is se-
parated into the women's
college catagory, its score can
be compared to the other pri-
vate institutions that are either
male or coed. It can be placed

institutions is headed by Har-
vard, Yale, M.I.T., Cal. Tech,
Swarthmore, and Princeton.

Scott can also be compared
to the private schools of the
South and Southwest. In this
regional catagory, it would be
placed between the fourth and
fifth positions in which are Da-
vidson and Emory respectively.
The top three ranked Southern
schools are Rice, Duke, and
Vanderbilt.

It is interesting to note that
Scott scores eight points above
Emory which is ranked 43 na-
tionally and fifth among Sou-
thern schools. Also, Scott beats
Georgia Tech by 182 points;
Tech is rated 129 nationally
and 18 in the South.

Dr. Wallace Alston, Presi-
dent, thought the rating was
"pretty objective." "I'm gra-
tified to see us show up as we
do," he said. He gave three
main reasons for Scott's rank
in the survey:

"First, I think for seventy-
eight years many people have
been working hard for Agnes
Scott's welfare the adminis-
tration, faculty, trustees, and

alumnae," he said. "Secondly,
I think Agnes Scott has had a
well-defined purpose from the
beginning. We have always tried
to offer the best liberal arts

degree we can. Finally, in do-
ing this job, we have had the
most wonderful cooperation
from the community in which
we live."

Mr. Rogers reports that he
requested Judicial representa-
tives to make announcements
about the losses and discourage
further ones in a house meet-
ing. That week, after the an-
nouncement, the number of
items missing was equal to the
total of the two weeks previous.

SC Sponsors
J.P. Allen
Bridal Show

Social Council is sponsoring
a bridal fashion show. Ethel
Ware Gilbert, in charge of
the program, states that twen-
ty students will model the clo-
thes from J.P. Allen.

"Not only will we have bridal
gowns, but also dresses for
brides-maids and clothes for
the trousseau," she said. "I've
seen the gowns and they are
truly beautiful.

"After the presentation, the
audience will be able to ask
any questions they wish about
weddings, clothes or what-
ever," says Ethel Ware. So-
cial Council thought that, in this
way, we might be able to give
some ideas to those who are
planning to get married soon.
But everyone is invited; you can
always just come and drool."

The show will be February 13,
at 7:30 p.m. in Gaines.

tion of Vladimir Volkoff, in-
structor of French, the company
consists of two other Agnes
Scott faculty members, Clair
M. Hubert and Anna Belle H.
Illien, both of the French de-
partment, in addition to se-
veral others in the Atlanta
area.

Though written by Labriche,
a nineteenth century author,
"La Main Leste" and "Mon
Ismenie" will be placed in a
modern setting for, explains
Mr. Volkoff, "the action and
meaning are universal." "La

Main Leste," literally trans-
lated to mean "to hit people
easily," concerns a lady who
boxes people. A man so fond
of his daughter that he end-
lessly schemes to keep her
from marrying is the main
figure in "Mon Ismenie."

Concerning the newly form-
ed group and its future, Mr.
Volkoff states, "We just want
to present GOOD French plays,
those that amateurs can per-
form and will be interesting
to watch."

Admission for "La Troup's"
first performance will be free
to Agnes Scott students. It will
be February 16 at 8:15 p.m.
in Dana theatre.

Mailroom Mess

Everyone knows the Mailroom is a
horrible mess, especially at that peak hour
between 9:20 and 9:30 a.m.

Something should be done to ease the
problem , certainly about the bottleneck
around the package window and the door
toward Presser. Until that day comes,
however, we are stuck. We may be stuck
for a long time; we certainly stuck for this
year. So, for the duration, may we offer
a few suggestions to help things out.

Do not pull out your mail piece by
piece and read slowly everything from the
stamp and postmark to the zip code in the
return address. Certainly, do not open and
read your letters while standing in front
of your box.

Do not pick the most crowded hours to
read the Rep Council minutes, check out
the wedding announcements, or see which
faculty member wants a baby sitter or
a buyer for his '32 Ford.

Do not open packagess and try on the
clothes your mother has sent while stand-
ing in front of the package window.

Do not discuss your date last night
while standing in front of a number of
boxes, most of them belonging to short
people who tend to get lost in the press
anyway.

Do not stand there and deliver a 10-
minute impassioned speech on how you
hate your boyfriend who didn't write you
for the fifth time this week.

Do not use your umbrella as a bayonet,
even if you are trying to clear the crowd,
gathered to do all the above things, in
front of your box. At all times carry your
umbrella point-down. We would hate to
have a blinding of Glouchester scene in
Buttrick.

In short, be careful and considerate of
others. Only through the efforts of indi-
viduals can the mess created by students
be helped.

Kline Outlines
Faculty Criteria

How is the faculty chosen? When asked the criteria for hiring
professors, C. Benton Kline, dean of the faculty, gave as the
first requirement that they be "people who are competently
trained in their subject field. This usually means that they hold
at least a masters degree and preferably a Ph.D or be working
on iL cern that uur professors meet

A second concern is whether these requirements in the light
that person can really teach of a personal Christian com-

and communicate. "We want
someone with spark."

Once these requirements of
a good teacher have been met,
the question remains as to what
extent the prospective profes-
sor seems he would be able to
identify with the purposes for
which Agnes Scott stands. This
means, "do they believe teach-
ing is really important, "and
"do they believe people are
important?"

This is an attempt at dis-
cerning whether they would have
real concern for the individual
students, make themselves
available for counseling and
perform other such personal
services.

Penetrating all the other qua-
lifications is the college's con-

mittment. According to Mr.
Kline, "We want peoplewhoare
committed to some form of the
Christian faith, because this
is a Christian college, and we
can only maintain it as such
with committed persons."

With some sixteen positions
to be filled for next year, Agnes
Scott is busy canvassing such
sources for qualified teachers
as graduate schools, the Coo-
perative College Registry, let-
ters of those interested in tea-
ching here, educational meeting
registries, etc. and at the same
time trying to maintain an in-
teresting variety in the graduate
backgrounds of its professors
and a proper balance of male
and female teachers within the
departm ents.

Mockings

From
Ramona

Dear Mom, j

You wouldn't even believe this
weekend. I arrived in Philadel-
phia just fine. The plane was on
time, the flight was beautiful,
everything was great. 1 even
managed to make it to the train
and thence to Princeton without
mishap. David met me, of
course, looking as marvelous as
ever.

Then we started looking for
my luggage. We couldn't find it
anywhere, and the man in the
station suggested maybe it
would be on the next train, which
would be there in only three
hours.

We walked to the campus,
which is lovely, and took a for-
mal tour, with David as guide. I
met his roommates and friends,
who are all so neat. They were
thrilled to know I go to Agnes
Scott.

We went back to the station
to get my luggage, which was
there on the next train. They
can't have cars and we didn't
want to walk through the snow
so we borrowed a bicycle built
for two. Unfortunately, it was
not built for two and two suit-
cases. The doctor said David's
leg isn't broken, only badly
twisted; but he can walk.

I went to a class while I
was there. The lecture was on
"Tom Jones" and I'm real
glad, because I don't think I'll
need to read it now. I think I
can write a good paper from
that lecture and from the mo-
vie.

There was a wide assort-
ment of dress in the class,
everything from coats and ties
to bluejeans and sweatshirts.
I felt right at home in one of
my mod outfits, dungarees and
patterned stockings.

I may have found that I can
do with myself next year.
Princeton has this program for
juniors. It's not a junior year
abroad or even junior year as
a broad, but I think it would
help me a lot to spend a year
at Princeton.

The neatest thing happened.
I saw Frankie. You know, the
boy who was here for a few
weeks the first of this year.
We watched College Bowl Sun-
day and since David had to go
to a meeting, we were free to
discuss old times.

Good old Frankie. He's just
as cute and wonderful as ever.

Saturday night after the party
we drove up to New York to
recapture a few of our own
memories. We couldn't decide
whether to round out our even-
ing at the Four Seasons or Ne-
dick's. It was really great fun.

A small problem arose when
I got ready to come home.
Philadelphia was havinga slight
snowstormone of the winter's
worst, actually. The airport
was closed and they said I might
be able to get a plane out some-
time Tuesday.

I didn't think Miss Scandrett
would go for that so I took a
train to Washington. It wasn't
too bad, if you like sitting on
your suitcase on a hot train
packed with people who couldn't
get planes. Dulles was open, so
I took a plane. It was sort of
a roundabout route home, but
I'm glad I've been to Toledo.

I understand the dance was
a great success. But I had a
terrific time, too.

I missed church last week,
of course, but you'll be happy
to know I made up for it
Monday. I ate lunch with Betty
Butler who regaled us all with
her now famous bus story.

I can't wait to see you this
weekend. I'll be waiting on the
steps of Main. Love

Ramona

Early Emerges* From Scott
Into Big World Of Students

by Sandra h. arly

I emerged last weekend. And it was a long trip- all the way from 2:30 a.m. bedtimes and stacks
of tests and papers to an awareness of the generation gap, a student group called S.D.S. (Students
for a Democratic Society), and underground movies. More simply stated, I went from Agnes Scott
College, Decatur, Georgia, to the College Editor's Conference of the U.S. Student-Press Associa-
tion in Washington, D.C.

vered Friday night by Paul
Potter of the Students for a
Democratic Society, a student
political organization of the New
Left.

My venture into the wide
world had me quivering in my
clean white gloves as I left the
Washington airport to go to the
hotel, but I was determined to
appear composed and definitely
suave on the outside. I shared
a taxi to the hotel with two
middle-aged ladies, a man, and
a tall, fat, and not-so-handsome
college boy.

When the boy tried to engage
me in conversation, I was pro-
perly disdainful. He asked me
if I went to Winthrop College to
which I replied gently, but
haughtily, "No, I'm afraid not,
I go to Agnes Scott College."
He immediately wanted to know
if this was some kind of prep
school for Winthrop College.

Bethel-Ripley

Then he began telling me
that he was a student delegate
for a "small Christian College
in Florida," that is, Bethel-
Ripley College, to the Pilot
Club convention (which 1 later
found out is a club for only
women). He began pumping me
about where I was going and I
patiently told him all I knew
about the USSPA conference.

When we arrived at the hotel,
my friend carried my bags in-
to the lobby and was immediate-
ly mobbed by people, all wear-
ing USSPA name-tags. Yes, my
Pilot Club friend was not really

all he pretended to be he was,

after all, only the editor of the
University of Miami daily news-
paper. 1 stood there in the lobby
of the hotel in all my blatant
naivete ready for an exciting
weekend.

It was an exciting weekend
and the most impressive fact
of the conference was that it
was completely student organi-
zed and student run under the
sponsorship of Newsweek and
the Washington Post. It was the
most well-integrated and well-
planned meeting thatl haveever
attended.

'Generation Gap"

The theme for the conference
was "The Generation Gap"
which seems to exist between
our generation and that of our
parents. The gap was discuss-
ed in seven particular areas:
The Negro Revolution, Anti-
Communism and American Cul-
ture, Journalism and Social
Change, American Foreign Po-
licy, The Arts in America, The
American Economy, and Pro-
blems of Values and Morality.
A panel discussion was held
in each area and we were able
to attend three of the seven.

Each panel consisted of three
distinguished men in its par-
ticular area of interest and a
student editor as moderator.
Each man on the panel address-
ed the assembled group of col-
lege editors, and after some
little discussion between mem-
bers of the panel, the meeting
was opened to questions from
the floor. This became one of
the most stimulating times of
the conference for me. Ques-
tions were thoughtful without
exception and they reflected
a high degree of intelligence and
world-awareness on the part of
the student editors.

The conference was address-
ed three times by individuals.
The keynote address was del i-

Lippmann

At a luncheon on Saturday,
Walter Lippmann spoke brief-
ly to the conference. Mr. Lipp-
mann stressed that there has
alwasy been a generation gap,
because the movement of events
is always faster than the move-
ment of minds. This is parti-
cularly so now with the tremen-
'dous advance in technology in
today's society. He said that
the older generation may not
be able to transmit knowledge
of the new technology, but it
can pass on something greater

wisdom. Students should, he

said, look for this.

The final event of the confe-
rence was a luncheon address
by Senator Walter Mondale of
Minnesota. Senator Mondale
was appointed to succeed Hu-
bert Humphrey in 1964 when
Humphrey became vice presi-
dent. In this speech, Mr. Mon-
dale encouraged students to
work for change within the al-
ready existing political sys-
tem. He did not deny that stu-
dent action groups at lower
levels do serve a purpose and
accomplish things, but he wish-
ed to see more youth in the es-
tablished order.

Mo

vies

The gap between generations
was shown and discussed in a
third way during the weekend.
On Saturday night a series of
movies dating from the 1920's
to 1966 were shown. These
ranged from the 1928 Robert
Benchley film, "The Sex Life
of the Pleyp," to the 1964 un-

Faculty Policy

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
According to C. Benton Kline,
dean of the faculty, this new
policy is more liberal than
the one it replaces, which re-
quired that special exception
be made for Roman Catholics.

Dean Kline states that not
a large number of perspective
faculty members otherwise
qualified have been excluded
on account of this religious
test.

The most recent instance,
which is being rumored around
the campus in a number of
versions, most of them wrong,
is that of a graduate student at
Emory University. A member
of the Agnes Scott faculty be-
gan investigating on his own
the possibility of this girl's
joining the Scott faculty; but
upon greater knowledge, he
learned that she would not be
able to fulfill this require-
ment and terminated the in-
vestigation. There was no of-
ficial action in the case, and
no exchange of papers.

Dean Kline points that the
board feels that it can main-
tain the purpose of the college
as stated in the charter only
through the people it selects
for the faculty. The purpose
is not maintained through the
requirement of the Bible
course, nor such forms as cha-
pel, vespers, and complin.

derground (and I might add,
banned) film, "Scorpio Ris-
ing." These movies provided
the most obvious contrast be-
tween generations and, more-
over, they were entertaining
and literally eye-opening.

A college editor's confer-
ence on techniques of journa-
lism and styles of writing might
have proved boring, and, even
worse, a waste of a weekend.
This conference did neither.
In dealing with issues of vital
interest and concern to all
people, not just college jour-
nalists, it was a stimulating,
thoroughly enjoyable experi-
ence.

In Ga. Tech Elections

Over It ear J

There was a junior, industrial engineering major from
Houston, Texas running for vice-pesident of the Tech student
government in the elections completed Wednesday.

This in itself docs not seem very unusual. This IE major,
however, is named Susan and yes, believe it or not, she is
a GIRL!

The candidate herself says
that she can't get over all the
fuss that is being made because
she is running. "It didn't seem
that unusual to me because
around here I'm not really con-
sidered a girl."

Susan Clemmons has been in
student government activities
ever since her freshman year
and for the past two years has
been a member of the student
council.

When asked about how the
election was going, the politi-
cian replied, "I think I've got
it in the bag." She and the rest
of the Tech student body will
find out today at 5 p.m. just how
good a prophet she is.

She went on to say that "the
boys say they will vote for me,
but you can't tell. They go to
the polls to vote for me and
then decide they just can't vote
for a girl after all." She re-
covered her calmness enough,
however, to say "I'm not real
worried about it."

Now holding the position of
historian, Susan has served on
the Student Activities Commit-
tee and the Special Events Com-
mittee.

She decided to run about two
weeks ago when one of the
presidential candidates approa-

ched her after a student coun-
cil meeting. He said that if she
would run for the office of vice-
president he would support her.

It is a safe assumption to
say that if Susan Clemmons is
the new vice-president of the
Georgia Tech student govern-
ment, she will be Alpha Zi
Delta's first member to hold
the post.

Yes, the Tech student govern-
ment elections have had a new
look and the government itself
may be in for a few changes
at long last woman's suffrage
movement may be reaching a
real climax.

Yale, V assar Consider Unity.
Most Girls Favor Merge

by Susan Aikman

y

If Yale and Vassar can form a committee and consider merging, why not Agnes Scott and some
time-honored male liberal arts college? Maybe even Princeton Scott could then fight with them
instead of against them.

Gerald Bruck, a staff member of the Yale Daily News, went to Vassar to find out for himself
the attitude of the girls about the projected venture. He discovered that the Vassar student news-
paper had put out a special extra edition with a studentreactiondescribed as "For God, for Coun-

Frosh-Junior Game
TurnsB'ball IntoBlitz

by Evelyn Angela i;\
When did basketball cease to be a game and become a do-or-
die blitzkrieg? When the juniors took on the freshmen last Fri-
day, that's when.

The juniors' 20-19 victory pressured their usual coolness into
tense defensiveness. Popeye refused to compromise winning and
used the tactic of freezing the ball to protect his one-point lead

Rating

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

In connection with this survey
by the College-Rater, it is in-
teresting to note an article in
the February edition of "Sou-
thern Living," a relatively new
publication. The article names
six colleges which it calls the
"Six Sisters of the South" pa-
ralleling the Seven Sisters of
the Northeastern Ivy League
colleges.

Agnes Scott is one of these
six schools which the article
calls "schools of the highest
prestige that offer both an in-
tellectual atmosphere and the
subtle emphasis on social
awareness traditionally expect-
ed of the woman's college."

The other five colleges call-
ed by the article "the elite of
the South" are Hollins, Mary
Baldwin, Sophie Newcomb, Ran-
dolph-Macon, and Sweet Briar.
At these "Six Southern Sis-
ters," "students can expect to
receive a strong liberal arts
education in a warmer atmos-
phere than commonly found in
the Eastern schools" the story
adds.

in the final minutes of play.

In contrast, the freshmen
drove for an open game and
forced frequent exchanges of the
ball. Their guerilla tactics
snapped at the composure of
the juniors.

Testifying to the scrapping
and clawing were the numerous
fouls drawn by both teams.
Three players gathered five
fouls and were sent to the
bench. At least two others fi-
nished the game with four of-
fenses. In a larger sense, fouls
became the pivot for the out-
come of the entire game.

The score at the half found
the juniors in the lead 14-6.
During the next quarter, the
freshmen took advantage of
junior floor mistakes and fouls
to come within one point of
Popeye, 16-17. The juniors put
a halt to Christ Robin's advance
by freezing the ball in the last
minutes of the quarter.

But the game was not over.
Could the juniors regroup to
protect their lead and possibly
to counterattack? Could the
freshmen breach their oppo-
nent's defense and gain the
lead?

Whenever they could, the ju-
niors slowed the pace of the
game to use up as much time
as possible. But the freshmen
refused to be stalled for long
at a time. They clutched re-
bounds and grabbed jumpballs.
W hen the fouls came, thefresh-
men converted more than the
juniors but not enough to gain
the lead.

The juniors managed to hold
out. With two minutes left in
the game, Popeye again froze
the ball. Chris Robin's squad
went into a man-to-man de-
fense and finally broke the
freeze in one of the few ways
possible by fouling one of the

juniors (and hoping she would
miss her free throws).

The freshmen did gain control
of the ball and called time out
with only five seconds left. The
freshmen decided there was
time for only a desperation pass
play.

The frosh were to begin play
by throwing the ball into the
court from out of bounds. Eli-
zabeth Crum took up this posi-
tion and arced the ball between
rafters to teammate Camille
Johnson at the opposite end of
the court. The referees, how-
ever, failed to signal time-in for
the time keeper. Play was re-
begun as before, but this time
the juniors prepared a defen-
sive welcome for the toss and
prevented a freshman score.

Fifth quarter statistics found
Lucy Rose the high scorer for
the juniors with 1 1 points. She
was followed by Elizabeth Coo-
per with six. Elizabeth Crum
and Camille Johnson divided
the freshmen scoring with 12
by Elizabeth and seven by Ca-
mille.

Tomorrow the sophomore pa-
rents will see their daughters'
class against the freshmen at
5 p.m. The seniors, who de-
faulted to the sophomores last
Friday, are scheduled to take
on the juniors at 4 p.m.

Bruck also learned that when
the new committee was announ-
ced at Vassar the seniors held
an afternoon rally and sang such
things as "Boula Boula" and
"Eli Yale."

Most of the girls interviewed
were very receptive to the idea
of uniting with a men's college.
But there was a small group
against the move. "Perhaps in-
tellectually and socially it's
a good idea," said Katrcne
Ames, 1969, "but emotionally
I have a lot of doublts, because
I'm very attached to Vassar
as a place." She was alsoafraid
that Yale would "swallow up
Vassar's identity" and tradi-
tions.

This would present a problem
is Scott ever even remotely
considered such a venture. Who
would do the moving? Would
we forsake our buildings, old
dorms, classrooms, and muddy
canals for male companion-
ship? (No, don't answer that!)

Other girls pointed out that

phere" needed to be alleviat-
ed. "You have to get all your
work done before the weekend,
then you leave, you run down
to Yale, and you have only three
days to have fun. You got to
have fun, so you cram all the
'fun' into three days, and then
it's back to the bus, and you
still have that paper due Mon-
day," said Elaine Tucker.

Bruck points out that there
was a widespread feeling that
Vassar had something important
to offer Yale. "The Yale at-
titude toward Vassar girls is
so condescending," said one
junior.

"All the Yale people I know
have a double standard about
moral codes, and a real double
standard about sex really
mid-Victorian. I think we're
much more liberal in that sense,
both intellectually and morally.
I think it's the boys who are
going to have to make some sort
of adjustment."

Yale students, however, were
less excited about the whole
thing. Eighty per cent of the
student body, and 89 per cent
of the faculty had gone on record
as favoring co-education in a
poll sponsored by the Yale Paily
News last year.

But now students seem to feel
that it was "too late" for them
to get in on the projected mer-
ger. "It won't mean anything
to you," a senior remarked to
a jubilant friend on hearing the
news. "Nothing's going to start
here for five years, and unless
you take a few years for Viet
Nam, you'll be long gone."

A few students, according to
Bruck, felt that Yale could find
a better school then Vassar.
(Would you believe suggesting
ASC? We already beat Prince-
ton.) Most, however, seemed
to think highly of Vassar and
of the idea of having a co-or-
dinate college in New Haven,
instead of letting girls enter
Yale itself.

Rogers Suggests Ways
To Help Mailroom Mess

-1 cestions.

In view of the crowded con-
ditions, which seem to worsen
every day, in the Mailroom, the
PROFILE asked business ma-
nager P.J. Rogers to comment
on the situation and what is to
be done about it.

According to Mr. Rogers the
Mailroom must be expanded if
it is to remain in the basement
of Buttrick or box space must
be allowed in the dormitories.
To help ease the situation until
something definite can be done,
Mr. Rogers offered three sug-

gestions.

"First, if all mail had a box
number on it, the mail would be
easier to put in," he said.

"Second, students should try-
to plan their schedules around
the 9:30 a.m. confusion. Itwould
help if they could stagger their
time of comingtothemailroom.

"Third, we hope to alleviate
some of the congestion by in-
stalling stamp dispensers on the
campus."

Marie Lewis, manager of the
Mailroom, refused to comment
on the situation.

Craftsman
Exhibit
In Dana

Atlantans will have the op-
portunity of seeing recent work
by craftsmen from all over the
state of Georgia when a major
exhibit of the Georgia Designer
Craftsmen opens in the Dana
Galleries.

Members of Georgia Desig-
ner Craftsmen are professio-
nal craftsmen. The organiza-
tion, active in this region since
1959, is affiliated with the Ame-
rican Craftsmen's Council in
New York, sponsors of the Mu-
seum of Contemporary Crafts
on 52nd Street.

The Georgia chapter spon-
sors periodic exhibitions, and
as part of its educational pro-
gram, sends traveling shows
throughout the state.

Many well-known artists will
be represented in the upcoming
show. William Dodd, president
of Georgia Designer Crafts-
men and a sculptor, will have
several pieces on display.
Charles and Rubynelle Counts
of Rising Fawn, Don Penney of
Valdosta, and Atlanta artists
Robert Westervelt, Nels Ar-
nold, Richard Palmer, John
La Rowe and Mildred Moer-
oins are among the potters
exhibiting.

Some of the weavers show-
ing work will be May Moul-
throp, Pat Richardson, Ade-
line Turman, Guthrie Foster
and Susan Robinson Walker,
all of Atlanta. Ann Orr and
Wuley Sanderson of Athens
will be displaying jewelry and
enameling. Several of the dis-
tinctive wooden bowls of Ed-
ward Moulthrop will also be
included in the collection.

The show will run February
19 through March 4. There will
be a public reception on the 19
from 3 to 5 p.m.

SOPHOMORES AND THEIR PA RENTS GATHER IN THE tastefully
decorated Rebekah lobby after dinner in Atlanta last weekend.

A student exchange is cur-
rently underway with Randolph-
Macon Woman's College in
Lynchburg, Virginia.

Two Agnes Scott student, ju-
nior Kat Mitchell and senior
Kathey Stubbs, are at Randolph-
Macon now. They left Atlanta

Saturday.

Randolph-Macon is carrying
on a wide-spread exchange and
girls from a number of other

College Honors Founder
Scott In Chapel Wednesday

Founder's Day at Agnes Scott dates back to 1918. It was at this time that President Frank H.
Gaines first designated February 22 a school holiday to honor the birthday of Col. George Wash-
ington Scott, the college's founder. At first, the celebration was a quiet one, with just a speech
about Col. Scott or some other historical figure followed by a special supper.

Hamilton, of Jacksonville, and
Jody Johnson, of Litchfield, ar-
rived Tuesday night and will be
on campus through Friday.

Both girls are juniors and
economics majors. They are
staying with Eleanor McCallie,
215 Walters, and AnneGlendin-
ning, 200 Main.

Activities for Elian and Jody
include the party given by Car-
rie Scandrett, dean of students,
for the freshmen: class atten-
dance; and a special Rep Coun-
cil session, held Wednesday and
featuring refreshments.

This is the first exchange at
Agnes Scott since the 1965 pro-
gram with Spelman College in
Atlanta.

Exchange Committee, under
the chairmanship of Ann Glen-
dinning, is working on the pos-
sibilities of other exchanges
this year, notably with Rad-
cliffe and Antioch.

In later years, the dinner
became more elaborate and the
seniors dressed in the costume
of George Washington's time.
After dinner they would all
dance the minuet and then the
other classes would join in
and turn it into a normal dance.
It could last "as long as they
chose, up to a reasonable hour."

The alumnae would get to-
gether all over the country on
this special day for dinner
and to reminisce abou the
"good old days". Atlanta's WSB
radio used to broadcast a spe-
cial program that night that they
would all listen to President
James Ross McCain and Nan-
nette Hopkins dean of students,
would usally speak.

These festivities were dis-
continued during World War II,
but were revived. The dinner,
the costumes, and the minuet
appeared again with an added
skit about the early history of
the school performed by the
Granddaughters Club. (This was
made up of second generation
Scotties.)

Juniors Sponsor
Jaunt Activities

Junior Jaunt, the annual project of the junior clas to raise
money for charity, will get underway next Wednesday with the
traditional slave sale held by the seniors.

1958 was the first year that
Founder's Day was not cele-
brated by a day's freedom from
classes. Instead, the form of
celebration evolved into what it
is today.

Convocation is extended;
there is an academic proces-
sion: and a distinguished spea-
ker is invited to talk on some
aspect of education. This year's
guest is Dr. Rufus C. Harris,
president of Mercer University,
a former president of Tulane
University for 23 years, a ve-
teran in his field of law, and an
experienced educator.

Following Dr. Harris' ad-
dress there will be a student
panel to talk with the Atlanta
and Decatur alumnae who will
be on campus that day. The
alumnae will also visit classes
and stay for lunch.

Many of the professors will
scatter to speak to various
alumnae groups gathered for
the celebration. President Wal-
lace Alston will speak in Char-
lotte, N.C., February 18.

Committee Grants Credit
For Advanced Placement

Next year, for the first time,
entering students will receive
credit for advanced work in high
school as a new recommen-
dation approved by the curri-
culum committee takes effect.

A statement issued by the
curriculum committee outlines
the procedure for granting cre-
dit: "Students who receive gra-
des of 4 or 5 on Advanced Place-
ment Examinations may, with
the recommendation of their
school and the approval of the
department concerned, be gi-
ven college credit and advan-
ced placement. Students recei-
ving a grade of 3 may, with
the approval of the department,
be given advanced placement
but not credit."

Mary Rion, associate pro-
fessor of English, chairman of
te committee which made the
recommendation, explained that
the new policy is designed to
give the qualified student an op-

portunity for advanced work,
not provide the means for ac-
celeration. The student may use
Advanced Placement scores for
credit toward her requirement
but must go on to a more ad-
vanced course.

Previously students were gi-
ven advanced placement without
credit on the basis of College
Board and Advanced Placement
Examination scores, or place-
ment tests given at the col-
lege after the students' ar-
rival. The reason students could
not get credit before this, Miss
Rion said, was because the sou-
thern schools from which Agnes
Scott draws most of its stu-
dents did not offer a real Ad-
vanced Placement program.
More and more students,
though, are now coming to Ag-
nes Scott with high scores on the
Advanced Placement Examina-
tions, especially in English,
history and languages.

The auction will be in the
Hub from 7 to 9, February 22.
Certain faculty members will
be sold to the highest bidder or
group of students bidding.

In the past, in the course of
the bidding, prospective slaves
have been required to preform
certain stunts, such as a well-
remembered r e n d i t i o n of
Swarthmore songs by George
Hayes.

Money collected by the pro-
jects this year will go to pur-
chase land for the hospital
which the father and brothers
of Mercy Samuel, visiting in-
structor in biology, hope to start
in Tanjore, India.

This personal contact with the
recipient of the funds has lent
a new angle to this year's pro-

ject. A number of juniors are
wearing saris around campus
this weekend. Students will have
achance to place orders for their
own traditional Indian costume.

Most of the events of Junior
Jaunt will be next weekend.
Thursday and Friday the jun-
iors will sponsor Uncast Your
Caste Day (nee Suppressed De-
sires). The sophomores are gi-
ving an Indian dinner Friday
night, to be followed by the
freshmen's nightclub in the ob-
servatory.

All day Friday, a joint ef-
fort of all classeswill bring
a bazaar to campus. Some of
the bizarre features will be
a milkable cow, a faculty cake
sale, and poetry reading by
Jack Nelson, assistant profes-
sor of English.

City Symposium
Set For Spring

JANE MCCURDY ENJOYS
THE FIRST (AND PROBABLY
LAST) snowfall of the year.

by Eleanor

One of the most exciting
"happenings" at Agnes Scott
this year is going to be the
symposium on the city which
will take place March 28-30.
The symposium will be a con-
centrated period of study on the
problems of the city and its
force on modern culture.

The symposium and its topic
has arisen out of the interest
and request of several students.
The extra - curricular acade-
mics committee, headed by
Barbara Dowd, is handling the
organization.

The symposium will consist
of three days of intensive study
led by speakers of local, state
and national significance. For-
mer Governor, Carl Sanders,
will commence the discussion

McCallie

with a comprehensive talk on
the political, economic, and so-
ciological implications of the
city.

The following two days will
concentrate on specific areas.
The topics center on the human
implications of the city. They
will include the effects on the
individual of mass culture, city
planning and environment, po-
verty, suburbian prosperity and
the family structure. We will
see its effects in the social
area, such as anonymity, neu-
roses, delinquincy and in the
artistic and creative produc-
tivity.

tionally acclaimed theologian

Commitment

The current controversy over the policy
requiring from faculty members a commit-
ment to the Christian faith is probably
justified. Many students have been shock-
ed to learn that such a policy exists and
that the Board of Trustees has just re-
examined and reaffirmed it.

We are among those shocked to learn of
the policy. We do not want to oppose it.
We understand the different notions of run-
ning a "Christian college, 99 and we recog-
nize that Agnes Scott is entitled to her own
idea of how to organize such a college.

We do feel the need to point out a few
things involved. Fir st, we believe that many
students come to Agnes Scott with what may
be a false idea of what is the college's
commitment. It may be possible to blame
the college for mis-representing itself.
Few, if any, applicants read the charter of
the college. Maybe they should, for there
seems to be a discrepancy between what
the charter actually says and the way it is
interpreted in the bulletin. The charter
calls for "a college for the higher educa-
tion of women under aspices distinctly fav-
orable for the maintenance of the faith
and practice of the Christian religion."

The "History and Purpose" section of
the bulletin begins, "Agnes Scott is a pri-
vately controlled college of liberal arts for
women offering courses leading to the
Bachelor of Arts degree." It is not until
paragraph four, after a run-down of history
and assets, that the question of religion is
mentioned: "Agnes Scott was founded by
Presbyterians and has always maintained a
close relationship to that church. The Col-
lege is not controlled or supported by the
church, however, and special care is taken
not to interfere in any way with the religious
views or church preferences of students."

And, with the mention of "emphasis on
the development of Christian character,"
that is what the perspective student knows
of this commitment which has been reveal-
ed to be so ingrained that it controls the
selection of faculty.

We are not accusing the college of de-
ception; we are accusing her of what might
be called under-advertisement. We want to
point out that given a choice of reasons
for coming here, most students would put the
college's academic excellence above its re-
ligious commitment. And chance s are, most
did not realize just how strong is that com-
mitment.

And that brings us to the second point
we have to make. As long as Agnes Scott
can continue to be both academically excel-
lent and committed to the Christian faith,
fine. We are extremely happy that the col-
lege can be ranked ninth among women's
colleges, which are secular, and have this
additional demand when seeking faculty.

We want to express the hope that should
there arise the choice between being an ex-
cellent academic institution and a Christian
college as maintained by this faculty policy,
that the choice will be made in favor of
academic excellence.

We are not predicting anything for the
future. We are saying that such a choice
could arise in a world where emphasis is
shifting to the non-Christian elements and
where many forms of organized Christianity
are dying.

While we cannot throw our full support
behind such a written restriction, we can
accept it for the present as a "given" at
Agnes Scott. We hope, however, that the
door to the change has not been closed and
that the administration and the board, in the
true spirit of academic inquiry, will continue
to question and consider what is best for
Agnes Scott as an educational institution,,

The Answer is no.

I was working quietly in my carrel the
other day when I heard footsteps and sup-
pressed laughter coming in my direction. I
looked up and saw Lynne Wilkins, practical-
ly running toward me, waving a piece of
paper and trying to laugh quietly. It seems
that she had made one of her rare visits
to the student government suggestions box
in the mailroom. (She checks the box on
about the same schedule by which the ad-
ministrative committee meets. Her reason
is that finding a worthwhile suggestion in-
side is even more rare than visiting the
box. I don't know their reason.)

And Lynne* s efforts were not disappoint-
ed this time. She discovered a rather tired
piece of mimeograph paper smudged with
this message in a shakey printing style:
"Please stop publishing the newspaper."
And "T.Y." which must mean "Thank You."

Well, you're welcome, but don't get your
hopes up. We ain't gonna do it. As a matter
of fact, you -who- wrote - the - note - but-
wouldn't-sign-it, we aren't going to do any-
thing but laugh about it, since you have only
your rather extreme request, and no rea-
sons.

There may be some reasons, good ones
even, for not publishing a free newspaper
at Agnes Scott. I don't know any, but mine
is a biased position. However, I believe
that it won't take most people on this
campus long to think of a good reason
for having a newspaper. And one reason is
more than you have given.

I could deliver, at this point, any one of
my diatribes on freedom and responsibility
of the press, the necessity of a free news-
paper, and the professional status and duty
of journalists. But I won't. I shall only point
out that there will always be newspapers,
There will probably always be one here;
college journalism is on the rise. News-
papers will not die if only because there
is always someone around who loves them
and who loves to publish them.

Since I have only about four more issues
to edit, and since I have ventured into this
space reserved for the editor only about
four times this year (my writing time is us-
ually spent on an upcoming speaker or past
meeting), I am going to vent here my rage
about a current issue.

I think that James "Sloppy" (Oh, the
irony of it) Floyd is disgusting to act as
he did about last week's demonstration re-
garding the education cuts.

A Hairy Issue

In the first place, I am extremely tired
of everyone complaining about long hair.
Of course I'm not going to trust any one
over 30 when all they can talk to mc about
is the disgusting appearance of my genera-
tion. They don't have to like it, but they
don't have to point to it constantly as a sign
of decadence.

I don't even need to say (she said, doing
so immediately) that a glance through any
history book will reveal swingers with
hair longer than any teeny-booper's on the
Strip or anywhere else.

As far as the generation gap is concern-
ed, I think the rebels have good reason to
complain that they can thank their parents
for much of the mess the world is in to-
day. I also think that most of those rebels
will become very much like their parents.
But today's tension is not helped by people-
parents, aunts, and legislators who can
see the struggleon none but thefashion-fad
level. I suppose I'm just disappointed that
more people cannot live and let live.

Student Power

There is a second place to my disgust
over reaction to the demonstraton. I think
it's great that those students care enough
to do something. I believe that demonstra-
tions, orderly and respectful, as this one
was, have their place in society. The state
of education in Georgia and the very fact
that additional money was cut from the bud-
get shows that most elected representa-
tives are not representing the students and
do not care enough about them. When this
happens in the structure, it is time for
pressure outside the structure, and I'm
glad Georgia students are taking this course.

As for the remark that they should have
been in class studying (the speaker ob-
viously ignored the fact that most demon-
strators were reading) it is ridiculous.
I am all for the semi-cloistered educa-
tion (proof: I am at Agnes Scott). But let
us not be so blind as to deny that these
demonstrators doubtless learned a great
deal that day if only to campaign against
the man who made that remark.

And speaking of Student Power, 1 am
very happy to know that there is some at
Agnes Scott. See you the TUESDAY after
Easter.

Ribicoff Proposes Tax Credits

WASHINGTON, D.C., Feb. 6
(CPS) A bill to povide in-
come tax credit of up to $325
for college students and their
parents was re-introduced in
the Senate today by Sen. Abra-
ham Ribicoff (D-Conn. ).

The proposal, co-sponsored
by 46 senators, is opposed by
several major education asso-
ciations including the National
Association of State Univer-
sities and Land-Grant Colleges
and the Association of StateCol-
leges and Universities.

Ribicoff s bill would allow a
75 per cent income tax credit
on the first $200 of tuition,
fees, books, and supplies. This
means that if one paid $200 tui-
tion, $150 could be deducted
from the individual's net income
tax bill. The next $300 would be
lessend by a 25 per cent credit
allowing another $75 in deduc-
tions from the tax due, while a
10 per cent credit, or up to $100,
would be provided on the fol-
lowing $1,000.

The Connecticut senator's
proposal this year is slightly
changed from those he has in-
troduced in previous sessions
of Congress. For thefirst time,
it give coverage to students in
accredited post-secondary bu-
siness, trade, technical and
other vocational schools.

Though Ribicoff claims over
two-thirds of the benefits under
his bill would go to families
earning less than $10,000 a
year, opponents of the proposal
note that families with several

children, earning $5,000, would
not gain from the bill since they
pay no income tax.

Thus, such opponents as the
National Association of State
Universities and Land - Grant
Colleges suggest, those who
need it most will gain the least
from Ribicoff s bill. These op-
ponents also claim that the tax
benefits would be eliminated by
increased tuition costs.

Additionally, opponents of Ri-
bicoff s proposal charge, thetax
credit could be used as a way
of bypassing the Constitutional
provisions against use of public

funds for discriminatory pur-
poses.

The tax credit bill was de-
feated in the Senate during the
last session by a vote of 47-37.
With its current 46 co-sponsors
and the strong possibility that
its provisions will be included
as part of the Republicans' tax
proposals, passage seems like-
ly.

A similar bill has been intro-
duced into the House by Geor-
gia's Fifth District represent-
ative Republican Fletcher
Thompson.

FEBRUARY L6, 1967 THE PROFILE

Mockings From Ramona

Dear Mom,

I want you to know first how
very much I enjoyed Sopho-
more Parents' Weekend. It was
really great having you and
Dad here, especially to go to
class with me.

I have found out who is the
central character of Gulli-
ver's Travels since flubbing
that question Dr. Hayes asked
me. I hope you weren't too em-
barassed. But since you in-
sisted on sitting on the other
side of the room, maybe no one
knows you were with me.

You really made an impres-
sion on some of my profes-
sors, Mom. A number of them
have remarked how much alike
we are. It must be our looks.

By the way, don't worry about
spilling coffee on Dean Kline
at the reception. I hope it came
out of your dress all right.
He says just one more trip
to the cleaners will take care
of his suit.

When I was asking him about
the burn on his hand, which is
healing very well, he ques-
tioned me closely about our
family. He wanted to know if I
have any sisters who are think-
ing of coming here. When I
told him no, but that my cousin
has applied for next year, he ex-
cused himself and ran toward
the admissions office with a
destructive look on his face.

1 applied for the Randolph-
Macon exchange, but they re-
jected me. Well, it wasn't real-
ly rejection. Fumpsy said
they're saving me from some-
thing bigger the University of
Alaska exchange. That will be
on a more permanent basis.
About two years, I think.

I'm enjoying getting to kno#
Randolph-Macon girls. I hoped
one of them would stay with
me to help me with my work,
but the committee didn't think
that was such a good idea.

I got the most heavenly Va-
lentine from David. He is such
a dear.

I never got around to telling
you the story of what happen-
ed last Friday night when you
were having dinner with the
Cowdens and I had hostess duty.
It was a rather bizarre night.

First these sailors came in
looking for dates. I think they
probably lied about their ages

in order to join the Navy. Even
I thought they were young. Any-
way. I sent them over to Main.

I hope the girl on duty there
enjoyed their visit.

Then I overheard these ob-
scene seniors talking in the
TV room. I think Mr. Hoffman
was grossed out, too.

Then Jane McCurdy slinked
in with this boy she had met
quite by chance. But he turn-
ed out to be the best friend of
her best friend or her grand-
uncle or something like that.
And he was good-looking be-
sides.

He went to Yale (a fact which
threw Namkia Nasus into fits
of ec stacy). After graduation
he went to Europe, but was a
little late getting back to en-
ter Yale Law School. After he
discovered that all the cour-
ses were already half done,
he told the dean that he was
really supposed to be in the
economics graduate school
(which involved ignoring the
fact that he had majored Eng-
lish and never had an economics
course in his life).

The dean believed him and
now he's almost gotten his
Ph.D. in economics from NYU,
which involves a tricky little
switch that I must try to learn.

My bruises and aches are al-
most gone from my fall in the
snow. It wouldn't be so bad if
I had actually fallen in the snow,
but it's pretty em harassing to
admit that you were inside look-
ing out at the snow when you fell
down the steps.

I really did enjoy having you
here last weekend.

Love,
Ramona

Moderate Factions Emerge
On American Campuses

by Ed Schwartz

WASHINGTON, DC (CPS) The lineis shifting. Earlierin the academic year, it appeared that the
political movements which characterized the 60' s would yield to a national 'cop out, drop out"
drive. This has not occurred. What instead has happened is the politicization of the middle. As
the Left wanders off in a cloud of its own creation, the "moderate" campus factions have emerg-
ed.

The Vietnam letter to the President, signed by over 200 student body presidents and editors is
the most prominent example, but there are others. The drive against Ronald Reagan in California

is being spearheaded by student government, leadership

Student moderates in Illinois
have initiated a campaign to end
the state speaker-ban law. Edu-
cational reform even radical
educational reform has been
coopted by the student Esta-
blishment. Tutorials, the draft,
the eighteen-year-old vote old
causes, new marchers.

The Old New Left, the Old
Old Left, and the New Old Left
can take heart. All those spee-
ches about involvement in the
late 50's, all those cries that
people were dying in Mississi-
ppi, all those pamphlets about
apathy and alienation people
who never read them are offer-
ing a belated response.

It's even respectable the
prudent, responsible, aware
course of action for today's
young ingenue to puruse. The
American Council on Education
reports that 82% of last year's
entering freshman class be-
lieves "to be aware of politi-
cal events" is important.

The tone of the campus po-
litical debate has shifted as
well. When stability was the
norm, belief in the necessity
for change became the radical
pole. Now that change has be-
come the norm, rejection has
become pole.

"Traditional politcs is a
drag, man; we've got to create
a new style. Until we do that,
none of your steps will do any-
thing to change the system."
The Old Middle used to say
that from another perspective
"there's nothing we can do."
Now they're insulted at the sug-
gestion.

Yet agonizing questions re-
main; it's unfortunate that the
Left does not ask them more
precisely. What is, in fact, the
direction of the New Middle?
Does it have any direction? Is
it strictly a set of pragmatic
responses to specific issues, or
does a broader set of goals
dictate its new militancy? I
would like to believe the lat-
ter; I fear the former.

Politics is people only a
generation encapsulated in ab-

stractions could believe anything
else. Students spend their aca-
demic lives fighting for some-
thing called "principles" with-
out any consideration of the im-
pact of one or another of them
on the constituencies involved.
That, more than any other rea-
son, explains the collapse of
the Civil Rights Movement.

We erected the principle of
integration, without reflecting
that the Negro middle class
was the only group that really
wanted it. Dick Gregory told us;
"I waited six months to get
into that restaurant, and then
they didn't have what I wanted."
At least he could afford the price
tag.

So the problem becomes not
the creation of a "radical cri-
tique of society" or the build-
ing of a Movement the grand
images of a search for cohe-
rence. The question becomes
whether or not the premises
of our culture and the institu-
tions of our society are con-
ducive to the development of
decent human beings people
who are sensitive enough to
love, articulate enough to ex-
press it, committed enough to
desire it, and compassionate
enough to realize how difficult
it is to sustain.

That sounds pretty soppy
like one of Dr. King's speeches
which used to get the masses
moving. Yet if the rhetoric is
stale, the prescription is not.
There are reasons for all those
principles, friends. We want
civil liberties because the pre-
sumption that there are words
which should not be heard de-
bases the character of those
who would speak them.

We want participation be-
cause exclusion presumes that
we are inadequate to the occa-
sion of life. We want some
people to give other people
their money or their time or
their services because we think
that people want to help others,
more than to exploit them.

We want professors to ask
us questions or get to know

. us or stop grading us because
we believe that the complexity
of our identity and its crea-
tion is a little more complicat-
ed than the lettered critique
of an 18-line essay.

All of that rhetoric has to do
with people. The New Left says
this when they talk about the
"game," but they say it badly,
and many of them are less ap-
pealing than their ideologies
would have them become. The
New Middle has picked up the
principles even a few of
the programs without the
burning mandate to apply them
to the human dimension which
makes a political stance rele-
vant or irrelevant. The pro-
blem is serious endemic, in
fact, to a mass society to a
society, "which places noparti-
cular value on the individual' .
Start worrying about it, friends;
it's more difficult than you
think. Look around you.

Glass Menagerie"

Pocket Interpretation
Of Play Different

by Jane Morgan

The Pocket Theatre's newest presentation/ The Glass Menage-
rie," should be of special interest to Scott students for two rea-
sons. First of all, Blackfrairs presented the same play fall quar-
ter, and secondly, Bill Poulos, who played the Gentlemen Caller
in our production, is doing the same role at the Pocket.

The Pocket has given Ten-
nessee Williams' script a very
different interpretation from
that of the Scott production;
which interpretation is better I
think is irrelevant as both have
their merits. The Pocket's pre-
sentation was not as intense or
as serious as ours; some parts
were played much too lightly.

The main problem with the
Pocket's production was incon-
sistency. This was especially
noticeable with the characters
of Amanda and Tom, and per-
haps this is because Mitzi Hy-
man who played Amanda and
Richard Bowden who played
Tom also co-directed the play.
Most of the time, Miss Hyman
was very believable as Amanda,
especially in the scenes with
her daughter, Laura. She cap-
tured the dream-like quality of
the former Southern belle very
well.

The inconsistency of charac-
ter came when she played op-
posite Mr. Bowden. She seem-
ed too nice to Tom, and he,
in turn, got along with her too
well to make the situation seem
bad enough to warrent his leav-
ing home. As Tom, Mr. Bowden
was too smug; his narratives
became almost comic monolo-
gues. As a drunk in one scene,
he was entirely unconvincing.
Nevertheless, he too captured
the dream-like quality of the
poet-adventurer stuck in a
warehouse.

Judith Van Buren played a
touching and very beautiful
Laura. She was completely be-
lieving in the part and had no

French Club
Considers Films

by Carolyn Gray

Does the student body of Ag-
nes Scott want to bring a French
film series to the campus? This
is the question which prompted
the French Club to show "Mon
Oncle" earlier this quarter.

The possibility of a series
of French films is still being
investigaged. Foreign films, as
a means of artistic expression,
are a valuable supplement to
teaching a language, for they
help the student reach an un-
derstanding of a people. Li-
terature is a good way of learn-
ing about another culture, but
it is not the only way.

The films, which would have
subtitles, would be valuable to
all the students, not just to
those who are taking French.
The cost of the series would be
small in comparison to thecost
of transportation to comparable
films which are shown in At-
lanta fine arts theatres and on
other campuses in the area.
The cost would have to be co-
vered by the admission price,
since there are no other funds
available for the presentation
of more than one such film a
year.

Some students were disap-
pointed in "Mon Oncle" be-
cause they did not understand
the Fench humor. It has been
suggested that a short explana-
tion preceding each film might
be helpful. The student should
understand that theprimary ob-
jective of a viewer is to under-
stand, not to be entertained. The
lasting value of the proposed
French film series would be
to students' understanding of a
foreign culture.

problems of consistency of cha-
racter. The high point of the
play was her scene with Bill
Poulos who played Jim O'Con-
nor. As the perfect gentleman
caller, he stole the show.

The play definitely picked up
with the second act; this was due
in large part to the consistent
characterizations of Jim and
Laura. Also, the second act was
more consistent in technical
areas. In the first act, there
were noticeable problems with
costuming, as the clothes worn
by Amanda, Tom, and Laura
seemed to belong more to the
1950's than to the 1930' s in
which the play is very evident-
ly set.

But for the second act, cos-
tumes were more in period.
The set done by Luis Maza
(who also did the costumes)
was very effective and work-
able; however, sometimes it
seemed a bit too nice for a
poor family of the Depression
era.

The Pocket has always been
known to give its audience an
enjoyable evening; once again
they have more than succeed-
ed in doing that. "The Glass
Menagerie" is one of Ameri-
ca's great plays and the Poc-
ket's presentation easily con-
firms this fact. It is well wor-
th seeing.

Students Study-In
At State Capitol

About 30 students from Georgia State College, Emory Uni-
versity, and Atlanta University, held a "study-in" in the hall
of the Georgia State Capitol last week.

Protesting the "Maddox cut" of about $14 million worth of
"enrichment funds" from the proposed budget for the Univer-
sity System, the students mostly sat silently in the hall during
a meeting of the House Appropriations Committee.

The students are members
of the Southern Students Or-
ganizing Committee, which is
circulating a petition through-
out the state, urging the imme-
diate return of the funds to the
budget.

A statement of the demon-
strators said in part, "This
study-in is taking place for
the express purpose of inform-
ing the governor of Georgia, the
legislature and the people of
Georgia that the students of this
state will not sit quietly by
while their educational system
stays at its present level."

The students were ignored
for the most part by members
of the Appropriations Commit-
tee. Chairman James "Sloppy"
Floyd remarked, "The first
thing that about half of them
ought to do is go to the barber
shop and get a hair cut."

"It dusgusts me that this is
going on in the great state of
Georgia," he said.

Another legislator, who said
he was working on the rein-
statements of the funds, told
newsmen that the students
should be in school studying
their books, instead of holding
a "study-in" in the Capitol.

He added that he thought the
demonstration might do more
harm than good.

The petition being circulated
by SSOC is as follows:

As members of the academic
community of the state of Geor-
gia, we hold the implementation
of the following platform to be

crucial for the continued ad-
vance of higher education in the
state.

1. Enrichment funds request-
ed by the Board of Regents of
the State of Georgia must be im-
mediately reinstated in full and
all public school teacher's sa-
laries increased as promised.

2. The members of the state
Board of Regents must include
student and faculty representa-
tives with full voting rights. The
proposed state - wide college
council must have an effective
voting voice in the operation of
the university system.

3. Georgia must commit her-
self to the principle and goal
of tuition-free higher education.
Scholarships must be made
available to all Georgia students
financially unable to finish high
school or attend college.

4. Students and faculty must
have increased power to add to
curricula, sponsor activities,
and set degree requirements.

5. In order to have a free
academic community, its mem-
bers must have those academic,
intellectual, social and political
freedoms guaranteed to all ci-
tizens by the U.S. Constitution.

The university must not as-
sume by regulation or action the
role of a parental guardian of
young adults (in loco parentis).

The university must not make
students or faculty to punish-
ment for legal activity; or bes-
tow punishment for illegal ac-
tivity separate from that of civil
authorities (double jeopardy).

Pigeons Dying From
Exhaustion, Not Poison

by Virginia Russell

The pigeons of Agnes Scott are not being poisoned, according
to P.J. Rogers, business manager. If anything, they are dying
of exhausion. Mr. Rogers' latest attack against Agnes Scott's foul
friends takes the form of a pigeon retarder called "Roost No
More". It is a concoction of chemicals which, when sat in gives
one (as Mr. Rogers describes it) the hot foot.

Apparently it is impossible
to kill the pigeons off by hook
or crook. Mr. Rogers has be-
hind him a long record of fai-
lures on this score. Recently
he heard that feeding pigeons
corn bread with salt cooked in
it killed the pests, and when
he tried it, the pigeons just got
fat.

Once he poisoned them, and
97 died in one day. The next
day it was impossible to tell
that one had died. New tenants
quickly moved into the vacant
spots. Pop guns worked for
a while, until the pigeons be-
gan to recognize Mr. Rogers
and vanish when he appeared.

Agnes Scott's pigeon popu-
lation was given a boost several
years ago when Decatur start-
ed its urban renewal. The old
roosts of the pigeons were torn
down, so they moved on to gree-

ner pastures-Agnes Scott and
its college Gothic architecture
which is perfect for birds to
roost in and on.

At present they are busily
engaged in ruining the fronts
of Hopkins, Presser, Buttrick
and the library. A view of
Buttrick from the windows of
the language lab will show that
pigeons are not the cleanest
of house keepers. In fact, after
walking around in the attic of
Sturgis cottage last summer,
Mr. Rogers could see maggots
hopping around on his coat
sleeve (shudder).

The present attack on pigeons
is not particularly successful,
since it does not kill the birds.
Mr. Rogers welcomes solutions
to his problem, however. That
is, any that won't bring the
ASPCA down on his head (along
with the pigeons).

Scholarships According To Need, Ability

by Jane Mahon

From 22 per cent to 24 per-
cent of the students attending
Agnes Scott need and obtain
financial aid. Laura Steele, re-
gistrar, says, "Within the li-
mits of available funds, the
college attempts to make it pos-
sible for all who qualify to
be able to attend, regardless
of their economic circumstan-
ces. The success of this ef-
fort is dependent upon the
amount of endowed scholar-
ship funds and the wisdom with
which their income is used."

Scholarships are, therefore,
awarded on the basis of need
and ability, with the size of
each stipend based on need.
Each award is made for one
year, but may be renewed. The
basis for determining the need
is the parents' confidential
statement of the College Scho-
larship Service.

This service is a coopera-
tive activity of some 800 parti-
cipating colleges and is spon-
sored by the College Entrance
Examination Board. Miss Steele
states, "It operates on the pre-
mise that colleges should not
provide more aid than the dif-
ference between reasonable fin-
ancial sacrifice by parents and
the total expense of the student
in college."

Scholarships are awarded by
a scholarship committee of
which President Wallace Alston
is chairman and an assistant
to the registrar is secretary.
In the case of returning stu-
dents, decisions are made on
the basis of financial need
statements and interviews with
Ela B. Curry, assistant to the
dean of students, who is su-
pervisor of the service scho-
larship program.

A scholarship for a fresh-
man is a grant-in-aid unless it
totals $300 or more; then $150
of the amount is designated a
service scholarship. A scho-
larship for a returning student
is (1) a service scholarship
(up to a maximum of $275 for
a senior) or (2) a combination
of a service scholarship and a
supplementary grant-in-aid.

Service Scholarships

The grant-in-aid represents,
therefore, the portion of the
total award that is in excess
of the amount for which the
student must work. The por-
tion designated as a service
scholarship is determined by
a work scale graduated ac-
cording to class, and no grant
-in-aid is given unless the
student satisfies the minimum
service requirement for her
class (150for sophomores, $200-
$250 for juniors, $225-$275 for
seniors). In no case does a
service scholarship exceed
$275 (or require work in excess
of 10 hours per week).

In the past, according to Mrs.
Curry, freshmen were often
admitted with a $100 service
scholarship. She says these stu-
dents felt they were not doing
enough, so the college now
awards a service scholarship
for no less than $150.

Also under this plan sopho-
mores may work for $150. Mrs.
Curry states, "At the same time
there was an increase in the
rate of pay to 90 cents an hour.
This has resulted in much bet-
ter satisfaction among the stu-
dents."

Mrs. Curry as the supervi-
sor of service scholarships in-
terviews each service scholar-
ship recepient. She states, "The
girls choose from the available
positions three for which sheis
most qualified and in which she
is most interested. No girl is

put to any job against her feel-
ings."

She further states that more
want to work at the Main hos-
ress desk than any other plac
primarily because it requires
no special qualifications. Many
freshmen choose the library.

No Differential

Mrs. Curry says that although
students who work at the Main
hostess desk or in the library
have a chance to study as they
are working wheras some ser-
vice scholarship work never
allows time for study on the job,
there should be no differential
in the pay scale.

The reason for this is that a
student may not stay at the same
job all year. Because of sche-
dule changes she might have
to change her service scholar-
ship work, or she may decide
to change her job because of
certain interests.

Mrs. Curry declares, "I don't
know of any group numbering
140 who works more effective-
ly, more harmoniously than the
students whom I supervise. It
is a good, well regulated pro-
gram."

She states that she never
hears complaints although she
is sure some dissatisfaction
with the program exists. She
would welcome "good sugges-
tions about improvements."

All scholarships are applied
toward tuition charges and are
not cash awards. One-half of
each scholarship is deducted
from the September payment
and one-half from the January
payment.

Day Students

A student who is awarded a
scholarship as a boarding stu-
dent will have her scholarship
reviewed if she changes from
boarding to day student status
during the session. A student
who is awarded scholarship aid
from another source is expect-
ed to notify the college; her
award from the college is then
subject to review. "This is
common procedure among col-
lege," states Miss Steele.

In addition, Agnes Scott spon-
sors four National Merit Scho-
larships. Eligible students are
finalists in the National Merit
program who have indicated
Agnes Scott as their college
choice. "Approximately 100
colleges and universities in this
country offer college- spon-
sored Merit Scholarships in
this way," states Miss Steele.

Foundation

She adds that an educational
foundation is interested in our
Merit program and (anony-
mously) takes care of half of
the scholarship stipend in each
case. "It is because of this mat-
ching plan that we are able to
have four Merit Scholars. We
are in the second year of the
program, and we originally had
only two."

Miss Steele says that there
are some 14,000 finalists in the
National Merit Scholarship
Program, but only about 2200
can actually become winners,
because of the number of spon-
sors in the program. "We feel
therefore, that by having four
Merit Scholarships we can en-
courage some very able stu-
dents in their plans for coming
to Agnes Scott - and also help
increase the number of fina-
lists who can be actual scho-
lars."

She further states, "We sign
an agreement with National Me-
rit Scholarship Corporation to
award stipends in accordance
with the regulations of the na-
tional program up to a maxi-

ing for service scholarship holder Olivia Hicks.

mum of $1,500 per year (bas-
ed on financial need, of
course)."

In addition to scholarships,
the college also has a limited
number of loan funds produc-
ing approximately $1900 in in-
come per year. There are se-
veral local loan foundations
which the college recommends
to students and which have made
loans to our students at rea-
sonable rates for a number of
years.

In general, students and their
parents have preferred not to

borrow. However, the new fe-
derally assisted state guaran-
teed loan program effective in
most states offer excellent op-
portunities, and some Agnes
Scott students are already par-
ticipating in the program. Full
details about loan opportunities
are posted.

$35,000

"Agnes Scott's current fees
require approximately $35,000
of invested funds in order to
endow one tuition scholarship,
and approximately $60,000 to
provide one student's total cost

of education for a year. At pre-
sent, the college has endowed
scholarship funds which pro-
duce income that will take care
of about one-sixtli of the scho-
larship amount needed in a
single session.

"At present, the income
amounts to $32,000 from
$811,000 in scholarship endow-
ment. The college has actually
budgeted $100,000 for the cur-
rent session and $105,000 for
1967-68, when more students
will enter under the tuition in-
crease effective for 1966-67.

"This additional money must
be taken from the general edu-
cational budget of the college
since the scholarship endow-
ment is not sufficient," states
President Alston. Agnes Scott's
current development program,
which culminates in 1975, in-
cludes a goal of over $2,000,000
in scholarship endowment.

"In most cases, the college
has discretion from the donors
in awarding income from en-
dowed scholarship funds on the
basis of demonstrated need, and
all students follow the same
procedure in applying for scho-
larship aid. The scholarship
range is from $100 to full room,
board, and tuition in the case
of foreign students; the average
award is $575," says Miss
Steele.

Covington Visits
In Form Of P.O.

'Outside'
Auction

by Louise Bruechert

Last week, Kate Covington, a junior took a rather unusual jaunt to get away from the regular
grind. On her way home to Marietta for the week-end, she decided to explore the area of big-
time auctions and made a trip to the Atlanta post office.

Once a year the post office holds an auction for articles that have been lost in the mail and not
claimed because of damage, a lost tag, or an incorrect address. The artilces are auctioned off
in lots and not singley, making it more profitable for retail buyers to purchase them. All those
interested were allowed until 11:00 that morning for appraisal and estimation of the worth of
the goods.

Individual buyers were at a
disadvantage partly from lack
of knowledge and partly be-
cause none of the merchandise
could be sold separately. For
example, a jeweler might be
interested in buying and resell-
ing a lot of four watches, or
even if the watches were da-
maged he could salvage and
make use of some of the parts.

Kate, who went on the spur
of the moment at 11:30, arri-
ved in the middle of the auc-

tion and since she had not
"thoroughly" appraised the
goods, since she was not par-
ticularly interested in such
bargains as a set of watch
parts, 12 volumes of the "Won-
derland of Knowledge", men's
underwear, 2 temperature wind
clocks, men's raincoats, 2
Presto Pressure Cookers, 5
tape recorders, a set of gar-
dening tools, men's belts and
suspenders, a set of brooms,
brushes and mop heads, and

Student Poll Reveals
Discont With Draft

The results of a college and
university student opinion poll
regarding the draft were re-
cently released by the United
States National Student As-
sociation. The question of whe-
ther or not college students
should be drafted has aroused
widespread interest in the past
year and this referendum was
taken in an attempt to help in
providing unified support for
an alternative to the present
Selective Service System.

Statistics from the poll were
compiled from questions ask-
ed in twenty-three colleges with
a total student population of
99,000. Approximately 31%, or
30,500, of these students ac-
tually voted. Schools sampled
were widely diverse but the
consistancy of their response
is clear.

Some of the better-known col-
leges included in the poll were
Harvard University (graduate

school), University of Michigan,
University of Minnesota, City
College of New York, Brown
University and Goucher Col-
lege.

Following is a summary of

the results obtained:

...More than 90 percent of Ame-
rican students feel that a
nation can be justified in con-
scripting its citizens into the
military.

...More than 70 percent of Ame-
rican students are not satis-
fied with the present Selec-
tive Service System.

other goodies, and since she
was not over-abundantly stock-
ed with cash, she mostly ob-
served the proceedings.

Kate was very candid
throughout this interview,
though she pronounced the whole
article "utterly ridiculous."
Shesaid small businessmen and
some other questionable-look-
ing characters made up most
of the participants. Most of
these paid a twenty-five dollar
deposit and received a placard
which they held up during the
auction. The autioneers, post
office employees, rather than
the participants raised the
prices consecetively and when
the price had risen sufficiently
high, the last person still hold-
ing up a placard received the
article being sold.

Though Kate was amused at
various times during the auc-
tion, she was a humorous sight
herself. She was the youngest
person there except for two
children asleep on the floor-
single and female, and she was
carrying her suitcase (to go
home), a sociology book, and
a Bach score (she is a music
major).

She stayed only forty-five
minutes and although two old
women kept pushing in front of
her so she could not see half
the time, she says it was an
interesting experience. She had
always wanted to attend a post
office auction, and felt in the
mood "to do something tomake
life interesting something
that presented a picture de-
finitely different from the Ag-
nes Scott campus."

Library First With Color,
Houses 15,700 Shelf Feet

by Susan Aikman

Did you know that Agnes Scott's McCain Library was the first college library to use colored
chairs? Did you know that the Robert Frost Room has over 3000 items from newspapers about the
poet? Did you know that the library has some 15,700 feet of book shelves?

There are many things that the typical Agnes Scott student should know about the library which
she takes sofor granted. There are over 100,000 volumes in the library including bound periodicals.
Last year there were 4200 new books added.

The library subscribes to
over 500 periodicals and adds
about 20 titles a year. A pro-
ject now being worked on is
collecting microfilms of the
editions of the New York Times.
The file now goes back to 1945.
One or two more years of the
paper are acquired each year.

The budget for acquiring new
books, periodicals, and supp-
lies is now $43,375 for theyear.
In the school year 1950-51 the
allotment was $7,500.

Edna H. Byers, librarian, is
now working on the Agnes Scott
Room which will be opened
sometime next year. There are
to be found there complete col-
lections of faculty writings in
magazines and books, alumnae
writings and even all of the
student's independent study pa-
pers. There are also on the
shelves copies of the student
directory, student handbooks
and collections of student pub-
lications.

Frost Room

The Robert Frost Room,
which was open for the first
time during sophomore parents
weekend, has over 100 books of
first and limited editions of his
works. There are over 600
items of his work in prose,
magazines and anthologies.

The Agnes Scott library is
a part of the University Center
of Georgia and students at any
of the member schools may bor-
row books from the other

schools. To check out a book
from another library the student
must get a cara from a member
of the library staff. Thesecards
are issued only for books which
are not in our catalogue.

Last year 17,000 books were
circulated to Agnes Scott stu-
dents for a two week period.
Circulated overnight were
10,000 books on the reserve
shelf. The library circulated
2,300 phonograph records.
There were 828 books circula-
ted off-campus, including inter-
library loans.

The four professional libra-
rians and four clerical assis-
tants are kept busy processing
books, binding them and "doing
housecleaning." The process of
just acquiring one new book in-
volves numerous steps. Some
of them are checking informa-

sions together into a framework
for individual identity in urban
culture. His books will be on
sale in the bookstore. They
would make interesting reading
for spring vacation.

We have titled the symposium
"Conscience of a Blackened

"Preludes" by T.S. Eliot.
We hope the symposium will

not end in three days. It is only
an introduction, for we can

the problems and implications
of the city. We hope it will be
an impetus for concern, educa-

it we hope to open this vast
area of interest and action for
Agnes Scott.

will be released later.

The Robert Frost Room, a
special project of Edna H. By-

Salisbury's suspension from
the university on Jan. 14, 1930,
was for a "deliberate, public,
and unforgiveable offesne"
smoking in the library ac-
cording to the then university
president, Lotus Coffman. The
suspension marked the high
point in a '^Great Nicotine War"
between students leaders and
administrators who issued an
ultimatum against smokers in
the library.

f Several Reasons
1 For "Farenheit 9

by Linda Marks

Believe it or not, there are other reasons for seeing "Fa-

It would be easy to make a case for the other point of view, be-
cause this is a film which creates it effect by doing what it sets
out to do and being what it seems; and it could easily be called
transparent and silly.

LIBRARIAN EDNA H. BYERS PROUDLY DISPLAYS part of
the Robert Frost co T lection. These are the many clippings
about the poet; the collection is quite valuable.

Library OpensSpecial
Robert Frost Room

Take the plot, for instance:
the time is 1967-plus, and civi-
lization has reached such a
pitch of technological perfec-
tion at last that no one need
bother about anything more tax-
ing than how to rearrange the
furniture. The government has
decreed that in this purified
society, men have no need of
books, which only trouble their
minds with suggestions of
inequality and other evil; there-
fore, fire departments have
been established whose busi-
ness it is to search-and-des-
troy all books.

What could be more obvious
than the fact that this arrange-
ment is bound to lead to trouble
- or more inevitable than the
fact that Montag (who is the
fire department's rising star,
because he does his work and
says little) is saying little be-
cause he has a secret carving
for books himself. This is what
happens, and its resolution is
Montag' s murder of the fire-
men who are burning his books
and his escape to the land of the
Book-People with the girl who
awakened his intellectual cu-
riosity in the first place.

The plot, then, (as well as
much gadget-y accoutrements
as a firepole which carries the

firemen up as wellas down,
could be straight out of a Bat-
man scenario.

But it is the very obviousness
of the movie which makes its
final effect very moving. Every-
thing, including the people, is
spic-and-span, unreally so.
Even the martyring of an old
woman who "wanted to die as
she had lived," among her
books/ is strangely dispassio-
nate, poly-unsaturated.

But it is in this scene that
the peak of artistry is reach-
ed and the clue to the movie's
seriousness is given. The ca-
mera dwells for a long time
on the destruction of the books,
one bye one, page by page -
everything from Henry Miller
to Aquinas.

And seeing this incredible
thing happen as the logical con-
sequence of the existence of
things of which we can con-
ceive (such as Montag' s wife's
dependence upon stimulants,
anti-stimulants and television),
has a dry-eyed, blunt, yet very
powerful effect. Its subtlety is
in its obviousness and its truth
in the extravagance of its fic-
tion.

for the first time during sopho-
more parents weekend. It hou-
ses more than 100 first and
limited editions of Frost's poe-
tray dri more than 600 antholo-
gies, proseworks, translations,
and critical works.

There is also in the red car-
peted room a file of more than
3000 newspaper and magazine
articles about Frost and his
works. All of the materials in
the room have been catalogued.

One of the most interesting
features of the exhibits is the
collection of Christmas cards.
Each year Frost and several
of his friends sent a card with
one of his poems on it. A set
of cards consists of one card
from Mr. Frost and one from
each of the friends and rela-
tives who used to cards for
that particular year. In every
case the poem is exactly the
same, the only difference is
in the printed name of each
person who used the card as
his greeting.

The Agnes Scott collection
contains all but 22 of the cards
which were first sent in 1929.
Most of those in our collection
were the gift of the poet him-
self.

Robert Frost visited Agnes
Scott 20 times from 1935 to his
last visit in 1962. He became
a very familiar figure on the
campus and served as Hono-
rary National Chairman of the
Seventy-Fifth Anniversary De-
velopment Program in the win-
ter of 1960.

In the book about the Robert
Frost collection Mrs. Byers
said that the "collection has a
position of honor in our library
as a permanent tribute to the
man and to the fact that he is
still with us at Agnes Scott."

Campbell
Tradition

Parents Ask Questions.

Revives Pancake Administration Replies

For Sophomores

SOPHOMORE BETSY FULLER DISPLAYS the graceful form that won
her first place in the pancake race held by Penelope Campbell for her
advisees Shrove Tuesday.

by Sandra .Larly

We often hear cries of "But it's a tradition!" here at A.S.C. We do have our honored traditions,
but then there are those events which occur one time and are successful and the next year are im-
mediately decried as "tradition." Possibly this is the way all our time-honored traditions began.

Tuesday, February 7, 1967, an event occurred for the first time to Agnes Scott students. This
time, however, the event was already tradition-especially in the towns of Olncy, England and
Liberal, Kansas. It was a Shrove Tuesday pancake race.

Penelope Champbell, assis-
tant professor of history and
political science, spent part
of her Christmas vacation
thinking about a different kind
of party she could give for her
ten sophomore advisees. As a
member of our history depart-
ment, she came up with an idea
appropriate to her profession
one of the historical cele-
brations of Shrove Tuesday.

Invitations

Each sophomore received a
blue invitation headed by a
Shrove Tuesday quotation from
"Poor Robin's Almanack,"
1684. The invitation also stat-
ed, "Shrove Tuesday, or Pan-
cake Day, is traditionally cele-
brated with a pancake race from
the market square up the path
to the church." Tradition had to
be modified somewhat for mo-
dern conditions and the girls
were told that they would "dash
up the slight knoll" by Lle-
wellyn Wilburn' s house where
Miss Campbell lives.

One rule of the race was
that, "No competitor may be
under eighteen and she must
have lived in St. Agnes Pe-
rish (sic) for at least six mon-
ths." And the girls were pro-
mised, "According to tradi-
tion, all pancakes surviving the
race go to help feed the par-
ticipants at the meal following
it."

In an interview about the
great race, Miss Campbell said
that it took "weeks to get rea-
dy and twenty minutes to do."
She said that Miss Wilburn and
she experimented "a couple
of Sunday nights trying to see
the best model" of pancakes,
for eating, that is, not for rac-
ing. They found that pancakes
made from "scratch" were
"horrible" and settled on a
Pillsbury prepared mix.

"What The Heck"

Then there was the problem
of dessert. Nothing seemed to
fit with pancakes particularly,
so Miss Campbell thought
"What the heck" and decided
to be creative. The result was
a chocolate torte. She made
it for the first time and tried
it out on a group of faculty.
The second model made for
the race was reported by an
informed source to be three
feet high, glorious, and de-
licious.

On the day of the race, the
two hundred foot course was
marked out by red flags and
frying pans in which the racers
would carry their pancakes
were borrowed from neighbors.
Miss Wilburn found a bell to
start the race.

Aprons

Contestants assembled at
4:55 p.m. in dresses, aprons,
and hats or scarves, the re-
quired attire for the occasion.
Girls were also required as
another rule of the race to
"toss their pancakes at least
three times during the race,
once at the start, once dur-
ing the final spurt up the street,
and once at some other point
during the race."

Miss Wilburn rang the bell
once to assemble neighbors to
watch the great pancake race
and once more to start the

race. Miss Campbell said that
the race was "really hilarious"
with girls running, flipping,
dropping, and plopping pan-
cakes back into their pans.
"Martha Smith was the best
flipper," Miss Campbell said.

Fuller

However, carrying the second
heaviest frying pan, Betsy Ful-
ler emerged the victor of the
race. She had the most effec-
tive flipping technique she

didn't toss the pancakes too
high. She was presented with
the traditional prize some-
what like the Olney, England-
Liberal, Kansas, silver skil-
let a small black iron fry-
ing pan.

At the feast after the race,
the contestants were served
all they could eat. When asked
who ate the most, Miss Camp-
bell replied, "I think Phyllis
Parker." But, she ad ded, "All

Spanish

Club Meets
Tonight

When asked to describe the
Spanish Club here at Scott,
Florene J. Dunstan, associate
professor of Spanish, spoke of
it as being "composed of stu-
dents with serious interest in
Spanish and a wish to use the
language."

The club will be having two
meetings this quarter, the first
of which will be today at 7;45
p.m. At this meeting the club
will host the Circula Hispan-
Americana, an organization,
in the Atlanta area two-thirds of
whose members are Latin Am-
ericans. The club's 27 mem-
bers will put on a program- of i
s ?ngs, discuss a Spanish play
and afterwards sample some
refreshments made from Spanish
recipes.

The second meeting will be
March 2, at which there will be
a discussion of the themes of
"Don Quixote."

Spring quarter the club will
share a cena or Spanish dinner
with several Latin guests. The
club's programs have been
planned by the faculty and the
officers of the club, headed by
president, Cookie Mallory, in
an attempt to provide as many
opportunities as possible to use
the Spanish language.

of them ate like a bunch of
lumberjacks; I don't think fel-
lows could have eaten more."
They ate sixty four inch pan-
cakes, two pounds of bacon,
and huge quantities of milk and
coffee. Miss Campbell said that
they kept "digging in and yell-
ing 'we're ready for more.'"
From all reports the cele-
bration was a huge success.
The contestants declare that
Miss Campbell is a wonder-
ful cook. Miss Campbell her-
self says that she would like to
continue the race here as a
tradition and mark out an of-
ficial course of a quarter-
mile.

It looks as though we have
here another opportunity to
cry, "Tradition." Maybe next
year the city of Decatur would
like to let us use the town
square for the race. And may-
be Miss Campbell would like
to feed all seven-hundred-fifty
of us contestants afterward.
It sounds like fun.

One of the events of Sopho-
more Parents' W eekend was a
question and answer session
with members of the adminis-
tration. Questions were sub-
mitted ahead of time by pa-
rents are answered by a panel
of Wallace Alston, president;
C. Benton Kline, dean of the
faculty; Carrie Scandrett, dean
of students; Laura Steele, re-
gistrar; Edward McNair, di-
rector of public relations and
development; and P.J. Rogers,
business manager.

A number of questions dealt
with issues that have been in-
vestigated by the PROFILE re-
cently. Therewercothers, such
as:

What is done to balance the
work load between courses?

Dean Kline replied, "As much
as can be done with a fierce-
ly independent faculty." lie
pointed out that the work for
one hour of class should be two
hours, but that it is sometimes
difficult to determine how much
can be done in two hours. It
is hard to judge what a "mo-
derately well-prepared student
can do in a reasonable amount
of time." He added that faculty
members are concerned if they
feel that someone is assigning
too much work, and they will
say something about it to the
offender.

In answer to a question about
vocational counseling for jobs
after graduation, Miss Scan-
drett reviewed the work of lone
Murphy in the vocational office,
in bringing interviewers to the
campus and in administering
tests to students.

Dean Kline added that parents
often think that a liberal arts
graduate can do nothing but
teach. On the contrary, the gra-
duate of a liberal arts college
is "sought after," according to
him. "You'd be amazed at the

Movie Describes
Berlin Life

Haben Sie Deutch gern? Ja,
ich habe Deutch gern.

One of the first questions and
answers learned in German 01
is this couplet. But even if you
do not know "Sie" from "ich,"
you may still enjoy the film
"Berliner Ballade." Theniovie
will be presented by the Ger-
man department this Monday,
February 20, at 7 p.m. in room
203 Buttrick. The showing will
be free of charge, curtesy of
the German Consulat here in
Atlanta. The movie will last
approximately 90 minutes.

As indicated in the title, the
setting is Berlin. Filmed in
1948, the movie depicts the life
of a veteran returning from a
prisoner-of-war camp. The si-

tuation in all of Germany is de-
sperate.

Honest people starve while
others subsist through black
market goods. The trials faced
by the veterans typify "die
Probleme Deutchlands" of the
period.

Of note to movie buffs is
Gert Frobe, the star of "Ber-
liner Ballade." Frobe current-
ly has the starring role of the
German general in "Is Paris
Burning?"

kinds of things our students do,"
he told the parents.

Another question directed to
Dean Kline was, "Is there any
way to eliminate Saturday clas-
ses?"

His answer was that the "ea-
siest way to eliminate them is
to decide not to have them."
He went on to say that while
it works best for freshmen
and sophomores, who are tak-
ing five courses, to meet some
Monday, Wednesday, Friday,
and the others Tuesday, Thurs-
day, Saturday.

It would be possible to have
classes for one and a half hours
on Tuesday and Thursday, but
that involves two problems. One
is convincing faculty that a
course can be taught twice a
week. The other is the conflict
that would be involved with
five hour courses that are taught
one hour every day.

He admitted that such a
change would involved a radi-
cal schedule, but that "many,
many of us on the faculty and
staff feel that having an extra
day free would be of great bene-
fit to faculty and staff as well
as to students."

Scott Bomb
Shelters

Hold 3000

Agnes Scott has facilities for
Civil Defense bomb shelters
which have collectively a ca-
pacity of 3,000. The shelters
are being stocked with pro-
visions which will last for 14
days.

The provisions are being sent
to Agnes Scott by the DeKalb
County Civil Defense Commis-
sion, which has already check-
ed and approved nine buildings
on campus for use as bomb
shelters. They are: Presser,
Dana Fine Arts Building, Camp-
bell, Buttrick, Letitia Pate
Evans dining hall, McCain li-
brary, Bucher gymnasium, and
Walters and Winship dormito-
ries.

These buildings will be de-
signated as bomb shelters with
Civil Defense signs. The sign
will also state the building's
capacity.

P.J. Rogers, business mana-
ger, is in charge of stocking
the shelters and will meet with
student leaders to explain pro-
ceedure in case of an attack.

THE U.S. PAVILION AT EXPO 67 is a $9.3 million geodesic
dome designed by R. Buckminster Fuller, the inventor of such
structures. It has a plastic skin and windows geared to the sun's
progress; solar-operated cells open certain windows at certain
times of the day, maintaining a comfortable temperature at all
times of the day, and at night it glows like a fluorescent igloo.
The theme of the exhibit inside is ' Creative America," a dis-
play that includes a three-screen film, important historical doc-
uments, and United States art.

Canada Marks 100
Years With Expo 67

There will be a new "In"
place to go this summer: Mon-
treal.

For six months beginningAp-
ril 28, Canada will celebrate
her 100th anniversary as a
confederation by sponsoring the
Canadian Universal and Inter-
national Exhibition of 1967 (Ex-
po 67).

Designed to be both educatio-
nal and entertaining, the pro-
gram will feature everything
from opera to an amusement
park. For instance, Expo 67's
Festival of the Arts will in-
clude the Red Army Chorus
and the North American All-
Indian Lacrosse Tournament.

This entertainment calendar
also includes performances by
orchestras from various coun-
tries, ballet and such top shows
as "Funny Girl" and "Hello
Dolly."

On the purely entertainment
level Expo 67 will feature an
135-acre amusement area call-
ed La Ronde. This area includes
a Pioneer Land, that ^offers a
ride which shoots cabins down
into the water, a volcano and
a fire-belching monster that
swallows the participants.

As for food, La Ronde has 39
restaurants, many of which will
convert into discotheques after
dark. For the non-eaters in an-
other area there is Lucifer
which has a complete bar and
stripper performing to topflight
jazz.

In addition to this, national
pavillions will also span the
fair. The architecture of these
pavillions will certainly beuni-
que. For instance, the U.S.
Pavillion will be a 20-story

$20,000,000 inverted pyramid.

There will also be a series
of theme pavillions which may
feature anything from a mo-
del of a human cell magnified
millions of times to an auto-
mated egg factory.

Admission to both the natio-
nal and theme pavillions will
be free. Admission tickets to
the fair grounds will be sold
at rates as low as $2.00, $7.50
and $22.50 for daily, weekly
and season passports respec-
tively.

Canada is "going all out"
for this exposition. At least
$350,000,000 will be spent by
Canada alone.

Plus this, many of the Mon-
treal schools will close early
this spring to allow students
to take advantage of job and
cultural opportunities at Expo
67.

And the Montreal event will
have three times as many par-
ticipants from abroad as the
recent New York World's Fair
and will be 50 percent bigger.

Expo 67 has also published
a general guide to Montreal
which tells everything a visi-
tor needs to know. It includes
information on restaurants,
services, "how to buy a bottle
of something," and even infor-
mation on a theatre where the
audience brings its lunch.

Under the over all theme of
"Man and His World" Expo 67
is set up to be educational and
informative.

But it is also supposed to
be fun. As one Expo 67 official
said, "Of coursewewantpeople
to come and to be informed.
But to my mind fairs are fun,
fun, fun.'"

This is the only summer du-

Basketball games in the Bu-
cher Scon Gymnasium-Audi-
torium sometimes lack the at-
tractiveness and audience of a
"happening." But last Friday's
encounters had both.

To begin with, two games
were played since the seniors
mustered a team. The senior
sextet took on the first-rank-
ed juniors in the opener. De-
spite the hustle of Peter Pan's
squad, the juniors set the pace
of the game at a commanding
trot. Occasionally, a Popeye
player would break for a quick
bunny (not as in Easter but a
fast, undefended basket) to vary
the speed of the offense.

The seniors used a similar
offense. While relying main-
ly on the scoring ability of Day
Gilmer, the seniors had other
team members shooting. This
kept Popeye' s defense "ho-
nest," that is, often prevented
the juniors from double-team-
ing one senior.

In their previous appearance
on the court, the seniors had
injected a feeling of fun into
their playing. They brought this

same attitude to their encoun-
ter last Friday. The juniors
met it with their sense of
sportsmanship. The result an
attractive spectator's game. At
one point, senior Linda Cooper
was placidly dribbling the ball
down court when junior Kat Mi-
tchell whistled by and stole the
ball. Linda stood for a moment
muttering conventional chas-
tisements to herself.

Another time, the juniors
broke into a ball-handling rou-
tine which resembled the antics
of the Harlem Globetrotters.
Popeye' s team passed the ball
in a weaving pattern that kept
the Peter Pan defenders flit
ing from one junior to another
in pursuit of the ball.

The juniors won 36-16. Lucy
Rose was high scorer for the
juniors with 12 points. Eliza-
beth Cooper and Eleanor Mo
Callie followed with eight each.
The senior scorers were Day
Gilmer with 11 points, Sheila
Terrill with four, and Louise
Wright with one.

The second half of last Fri-
day's happening featured the
sophomores against the fresh-
men. The audience consisted of
assorted students and parents
of sophomores.

Besides their two regular
cheerleaders, the sophomores
added a bevy of fraternity pled-
ges. The boys had been won by
a sophomore in a raffle. Trim-
med in Raggedy Ann aprons and
bows, the gracious "belles"
cheered their owner's class to
victory and even intoned a ren-
dition of "Dixie" at halftime.

The game itself spun through
frequent exchanges of the ball.

The sophomores were anxious
to win with their parents watch-

ble, and Canada is building a fun, fun" of Expo 67.

ing. And the freshmen were just
as anxious to upset their op-
ponents' plans. Thus, both
teams attempted numerous bas-
kets and kept the game play
open.

At the half the sophomores led
11-10. During the next two quar-
ters, the Raggedy Ann forces
added on 12 more points while
the freshmen gained five. This
made the difference as far as the
scoreboard showed. But on the
floor, the difference lay in ball
control and defense. The sopho-
mores met the freshman swift
ball passing with an aggressive
defense. The final score so-

Scott Faculty Policy
Reported Nationally

Agnes Scott has received na-
tional news coverage in con-
nection with the recently adop-
ted statement of the board of
trustees, reaffirming the 78
year old policy of hiring
faculty persons who are com-
mitted to the Christian faith.

Charles F. Wittenstein,
Southeast area director of the
American Jewish Committee,
released a storylast week about
the case involving Mrs, David
Harris, an Emory graduate
student with whom two of the
Agnes Scott faculty members
were having preliminary dis-
cussions about her teaching at
Scott next year.

Wittenstein accused Agnes
Scott of "compromising the
principle of quality education"
by "not hiring the most quali-
fied people available." He
pronounced the situation a case
of "discrimination without pre-
judice."

Most news stories quoted
Harry Pratt, assistant profes-
sor of political science at
Emory, who said he thought the
policy is not bigoted or anti-
Semetic, but that he opposes it.

The New York Times article
said that "according to Dr.
Pratt, the hiring issue was
placed before the trustees at
Agnes Scott late last year af-
ter Mrs. David Harris, a Jew-
ish graduate student at Emory
applied for a job."

As has been explained pub-
licly by Agnes Scott president
Wallace Alston and the PRO-
FILE, Mrs. Harris never ap-
plied. All contact was informal
and personal, between Mrs.
Harris and the two Scott fac-
ulty members.

rday

Agnes Scott will be host for
an annual philosphy conference,
this Saturday. This conference
is held each year for the pur-
pose of getting small colleges
together to present papers on
philosophy and to exchange
ideas.

Schools participating this
year include Agnes Scott Col-
lege, Vanderbilt University, Se-
wanee, the University of Geor-

College, Oglethorpe and the
University of Chattanooga. Four
of these schools will present
papers on some piiase of the
overall conference topic, "So-

On Saturday morning and
afternoon sessions these papers
will be discussed by the indi-
viduals attending the confer-
ence. Those who participate in
the discussion of the papers are
all undergraduate philosophy
majors and Agnes Scott's re-
presentatives are Peggy Moore,
Marsha King, Bronwyn DuKate,
Lynne Wilkins and Judy Wil-
liams.

Anyone who would like to at-

carried the incident; wire ser-
vices also sent the story out.
The UPI release, carried by
the Marietta Daily Journal,
called the American Jewish
Committee director "Wallen-
stein" and Agnes Scott a "fash-
ionable women's college."

Thursday night, a spontane-
ous movement on the part of
student leaders produced a pe-
tition of support for the col-
lege's right to have the policy,
if not for the terms of the
policy itself.

The statement drawn up and
circulated throughout the dorms
and library is as follows:

"In light of the present cris-
is, we should like to express
student support of Agnes Scott
College. Whether or not we
support the specific terms of
the Board of Trustees' faculty
policy, 1) we uphold the right
of a college to be founded on the
basis of a Christian commit-
ment. 2) If the college choos-
es to maintain this commitment
by making requirements re-
garding the selection of faculty
members, we feel it has the
right to do so without being
guilty of any sort of prejudice."

The original statement was
signed by Betty Butler, Linda
Cooper, Ann Roberts, Carole
Robertson, Virginia Russell,
Lynne Wilkins, Grace Winn, and
Ellen Wood. There were around
400 signatures attached to the
statement which was taken to

NSA Calls For Termination
Of Relationship With CIA

National Supervisory Board of the United States National Student Association has issued a
statement calling for the immediate and complete severance of NSA's relationship to the Cen-
tral Intelligence Agency, following the revelation of that financial relationship last week.

After three days of meetings, the 10-member supervisory group issued a statement denounc-
ing the "ethical trap" into which the CIA placed NSA's officers and staff members in past years.

National Supervisory Board
chairman Sam Brown, a Har-
vard Divinity School student,
said that "honorable people act-
ing out of the best of motives
were faced with an impossible
choice: to expose the relation-
ship and thereby harm them-
selves and hundreds of others
or to remain quiet and thereby
be dishonest to new generations
of students."

Security Agreement

According to Brown NSA of-
ficials who were to be told of the
CIA relationship were first ask-
ed to sign a national security
agreement. The agreement pro-
vides for jail terms of up to
twenty years if classified infor-
mation, such as the NSA-CIA
link, is disclosed.

After signing the agreement,
Brown said, the NSA staffer
was trapped. "This is the dis-
gusting, horrible part, and it
should not be permitted to exist
in a free society," he said.

During the years of the NSA-
CIA association, which began in
the early 1950's, the student
group received as much as 80
per cent of its funds from the
intelligence agency. Most offi-
cers and staff members of
NSA's Internatonal Commis-

sion were aware of the relation-
ship.

Brown named the sources of
CIA-originated financial aid as
the Foundation for Youth and
Student Affairs of New York, the
Catherwood Foundation of Bryn
Mawr, Pennsylvania, the San
Jacinto Foundation of Houston
the Independence Foundation of
Boston, the Sidney and Esther
Rabb Foundation of Boston, and
Mr. Robert E. Smith of Houston.

He added that "at least 15
other foundations and indivi-
duals have passed funds to NSA
for the CIA." All CIA financial
support ended in December
1966, Brown stated.

Ram parts

The connection between NSA
and CIA was discovered by
Ramparts magazine which ran
a full-page ad in the New York
Times February 14, advertis-
ing the March issue in which the
story will appear. The ad an-
nounces that the CIA has infil-
trated and subverted NSA, used
student spies, and forced inter-
national student organizations
into taking Cold war positions.
It calls its article a "case
study in the corruption of you-
thly idealism."

A front page story in the

same edition of the Times con-
tained a statement issued by
the NSA officers, that since
1952 NSA has received appro-
ximately $3,000,000 from the
CIA, of which only each year's
top two or three officers were
aware.

They reported that no "sen-
sitive intelligence" informa-
tion had been passed totheCIA.
In a letter to Agnes Scott stu-
dent body president Lynn Wil-
kins, Southern Area member
of the NSB Eric Van Loon writes
that "Presumably this means
that 'non - sensitive intelli-
gence' information has been
passed."

Finally, the officers report-
ed that despite the financial
connection NSA has maintained
its independence.

NSA stands are frequently
in opposition to those of the
U.S. government; it has been
accused of being an extreme-
ly left-wing, even Communist
organization.

The official statement of the
NSB says that no NSA coordi-
nators, student body presidents,
or regional officers of the as-
sociation knew of the connec-
tion. The funds were given for
specific overseas programs,

Give Three
One- Acts

The speech and drama de-
partment, in cooperation with
Blackfriars, will present a night
of one-act plays on Tuesday,
February 28 in Dana.

"The Stronger," by August
Strindburg, is an unusual play
in that one of the two charac-
ters never speaks. Paige Dot-
son and Katherine Vansant will
portray the two women. Ac-
cording to their interpretation
the audience must decide which
is the stronger.

Elvina Green directs the play.
Sally Barr of the advanced de-
sign class is technical direc-
tor.

An elevator is the confining
setting for "Two in a Trap."
directed by Roberta Winter.
Sophomores Peggy Barnes and
Jan Cribbs will portray the two
trapped women.

Paige and Katherine will re-
appear in the third play, Ten-
nessee Williams' "At Liberty,"
which concerns a broken down
actress in Blue Mountain, Mis-
sissippi. Miss Green directs
the play, and Alice Airth is
the technical director.

NEXT WEEK

Next week's PROFILE, the
last t iis quarter, will in-
clude articles on tenure,
academic freedom at Agnes
Scott, beliringer John Flint,
and a review of "Marat/

thing that was squeezed out
this week by late-breaking
news developments.

THE PROFILE g FEBRUARY 23, 1967 PAGE 2

THE PROFILE

Cjo up and skake tlie Land
of Someone you can t stand

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are
those of the majority of the editorial staff. They do not necessari-
ly represent the , opinion of the administration or the student body.

Hold It!

In the midst of local pressures and na-
tional publicity, Agnes Scott students are
reacting, in some cases vehemently, to the
board of trustees' just-reaffirmed faculty
policy, of which many were unaware until
last Thursday, despite ample opportunity
for information.

We spoke our mind on the policy last
week. We still feel that the policy should be
changed should the excellence of Agnes
Scott education be threatened. We have not
seen such a threat to date.

While we insist that in the future this
restriction may have to go in the interest
of what is best for the college as an institu-
tion of higher learning, we maintain that
the college has every right to make such a
policy.

Some students are claiming that the
college is trying to isolate itself, protect
itself against viewpoints other than its own.
We have not seen this a cause for complaint.
In addition to the ' 'ventilation* ' achieved
through the guests and lecturers* there, is
wide diversity of opinion and belief within
the faculty. The truth of this is proved by
the very fact of strong student surprise at
learning of the faculty policy.

Therefore, we feel that nothing has been
compromised yet, though wC support even-
tual change of the policy.

This, however, is not the time.

Agnes Scott is going through probably her
most trying period, especially in the eyes
and editorial columns of the community and
the nation. Very little else has concerned
many of the college personnel for the last
three months.

Such a time of trial and pressure is the
time for students to stand with their col-
lege's right to be organized the way it
chooses, whether they agree with that choice
or not.

An upheaval within the college, a violent
student move for immediate change, could be
far more detrimental at this moment than
most students realize.

Besides, we do not think the college should
back down on a principle that has stood
since the college's inception simply because
people outside or within shout against it
in a moment of emotion reaction. And we
know the college will not back down for no
more reason, and that is one of the reasons
it is so good a college.

We believe that change must eventually
come, and that it will certainly come if
the religious question prove harmful to
the educational question. But for the pre-
sent, it is most important that students not
react on an impulse, but study the policy
and its rationale, put it into its wider
context, and consider all the implications
of change before demanding it.

We repeat what we said last week, that
we cannot throw our support behind such
a written restriction, yet we add that the
college has not only reasons for the po-
licy, but the right to make it. We urge stu-
dents to consider that it is more important
at present to preserve the life and strength
of Agnes Scott as a whole college com-
munity, with many excellent aspects, than
to endanger the whole by attacking part.

As a sometime member of the press, of
whatever quality, I want to express my disap-
pointment of the handling by the commercial
press of the present controversy involving
Agnes Scott. Indeed, it has caused as much
as reported controversy.

My basic complaints are two. First, news
and editorial writers have repeatedly stated,
as recently as the Atlanta Constitution editor-
ial Tuesday, that Mrs. Harris "applied" for
a job. Not so. As Dr. Alston has stated
from the first and the PROFILE has reported,
there was no official contact with Mrs. Har-
ris. The investigation was informal and en-
tirely between Mrs. Harris and the two Scott
faculty members involved. She never submit-
ted an application or any papers.

Along with this goes the frequent appear-
ance in the coverage of Harry Pratt, assis-
tant professor of political science at Emory.
He has been quoted several times as stating
that she applied, though I have it on good
authority that he knows that is not true. Mr.
Pratt's connection with the case has never
been explained, nor have we been told why
he, an assistant professorof political science
at Emory, is qualified to announce, as he
has done, how, when, and why the Agnes Scott
board of trustees meets.

My second objection can be equally well
directed at many students. I am concerned
with the refusal of observers to put the board's
faculty policy into its proper perspective.
Not only is this policy not new to Agnes Scott
("the 78 year old scoop," Susan Aikman

calls it), but this is not the first time an in-
stitution has had such a policy, nor is Agnes
Scott unique in the nation now.

The Danforth statement on the church- re-
lated college calls, it "perfectly proper for
an institution of higher learning to appoint to
its faculty only persons who seem most like-
ly to contribute to its purposes (including
whatever religious purposes it has)." (page
68, "Church-Sponsored Higher Education
in the United States").

Finally I want to remind those who read
the Cleghorn column in last Friday's Atlanta
Journal of his comparison of Agnes Scott with
Emory and Randolph-Macon, with which,
he says, "Agnes Scott often is ranked"
Consider the recent ranking done by the Col-
lege Rater. In that report Agnes Scott is
ranked ninth among women's colleges na-
tionally whereas Randolph-Macon places sev-
enteenth. Agnes Scott beats out Emory for
fourth place among private schools in the
south and southeast, winning eight more
points than the nearby university.

In light of the whole matter, of policy and
press, I recommend the quotation from
Henry David Thoreau that appears on one of
the reading room beams in the library. I
find it heartening, as written and with the
addition of appropriate quotations marks in
the first clause: "Read not the times, read
the eternities."

Ex-Student

Criticizes

Policy

Dear Editor:

Lots of snow in Washington
this morning, but the happy at-
mosphere was dispelled when I
picked up 'The Washington
Post" and came upon an ar-
ticle on page 10 concerning
Agnes Scott College. I focused
on the headline, "Jews Criti-
cize College for Hiring Chris-
tians Only", and something
rather unpleasant happened to
my stomach.

Another of the noble tradi-
tions of the college is out of
the woodwork. The professed
aim of Agnes Scott is to become
a first-rate educational insti-
tution. If its present policies
are pursued, it never shall.

During my three years at
Scott, I became increasingly
convinced that religion and edu-
cation were incompatible aims
of the same institution. Chris-
tianity would win converts, and
it is the nature of education to
hold all creeds up to unbiased
examination. Thus, the one is
predisposed; the other is not.
Also, I came to feel that a
Christian college was more
concerned about being "Chris-
tian", in a narrow sense ofthe
word, than about the business of
being a college.

Christianity has become a
"creed outworn" to a number
who were formerly of the Chris-
tian community because after
painful examination they were
unable to convince themselves
that it had accomplished more
good than evil. This recent
action by the Board ofTrustees
and Dr. Alston goes a long way
in arguing for this negative
aspect of Christianity. Exclu-
siveness, discrimination, and
defensiveness are corruptions
of the "Christian commit-
ment" that Dr. Alston espous-
es.

Agnes Scott does have a com-
mitment, and whether it be to
the goals of education or to
Christian proselytizing must
now be decided. If it is to the
latter, we will watch it vanish,
Camelot - fashion, from the
world of academic excellence.

Bruechert
Supports

Petition

Dear Editor:

I want to reinforce the peti-
tion some 400 Agnes Scott stu-
dents signed last week support-
ing the administration's stand
on its present Christian-orient-
ed policy for accepting faculty
applicants. Though the policy
has been in existence since the
founding of the school, many
students were unfamiliar with
it, and there was a feeling that
the first article in the PROFILE
was an announcement of some-
thing new.

First of all a college is jus-
tified in making any policy stip-
utations it wishes in accepting
faculty members and/or stu-
dents.

Second, those connected with

the school who feel directly
bothered by such stipulations
have an obligation to find out
about them before becoming
part of the institution. Then
such devastating attacks by out-
side newspapers and the feeling
that such a policy is secret or
out of the ordinary would be
avoided.

Third, any kind of construc-
tive criticism and any open-
minded move for change are
welcomed in an academic at-
mosphere. In such an atmos-
phere, however, those moving
for change must have accurate
facts and accurate generaliza-
tions of the climate of feeling.
It is difficult to be completely
accurate in these areas from
outside the college, and clear-
thinking students need to rea-
lize this to avoid being swayed
by outside influences such as
distorted or sensationalized
newspaper stories.

Finally, spur of the moment
clamor for drastic change is out
of place at this college. Evi-
dence of this can be seen in the
thorough study prece ding any

mm

of the policy changes made in
the last three years since I've
been here. (Smoking, the car
policy, and drinking) Hostility
toward the administration, es-
pecially personally, achieves
nothing except providing fuel for
more distorted opinion outside
the college. These distortions
harm the school, which, despite
our particular feelings, we be-
long to, and the prestige of
which we care about.

I think the recent petition
helped us clarify this feeling of
personal membership, and I
was glad to see the majority
support our president and dean
under antagonistic pressure.
Sincerely,
Louise Bruechert

Reaction
Concerns

Kelly

Dear Editor,

I am very concerned by the
emotional reaction of much of
the student body to the article
in the Times about "anti-Se-
mitism" at ASC. "Anti-Semi-
tism" carries very strong value
connotations which makes ASC
seem a breeding ground of neo-
nazism. These connotations are
fallacious and harmful. I rea-
lize the damage such an article
can do to the college's public
relations. Yet the criticism is
not unfounded, ASC's hiringpo-
licy is discriminatory.

I fear that the reaction to
the "bad publicity" - which so
offends our student pose of
liberality - by causing us to
defend this policy as the col-
lege's "right", will block any
change in the policy. Thepolicy
should, in my opinion, be chan-
ged. It's such a waste not to
have qualified professors of
different faiths who might add
some diversity and freshen the
intellectual atmosphere of the
campus.

Female Seminary

Circular Notes
Healthful Climate

With the celebration of Founder's Day just past, and the cam-
pus in the depths of the infamous winter quarter depression, it
may be refreshing to examine the conditions at Agnes Scott
when it was founded in 1889, as Decatur Female Seminary.

The "First Annual Circular of Information" points out in
its "Location" section that the seminary is located six miles
from Atlanta in Decatur, which "is noted for its healthful cli-
mate, and as an intelligent and well-ordered community."

The "Boarding Department"

is under Mrs. E. G. Elyea,
whose "long experience and
reputation justified as in as-
suring parents that their daugh-
ters will be well and kindly
cared for, both in sickness and
in health."

The "Influences" paragraph
is as follows: <# The Trustees
are aware that intellectual
training is not all that is to be
desired in a Female Seminary.
They consider it of great im-
portance that all influences of
such an institution should be
refining, and above all, relig-
ious. The Trustees have had
these qualities in view in the
selection of teachers and ma-
tron, all of whom are cultivated
ladies and earnest Christians.
The Principal (Ivliss N. Hop-
kins') will reside with Mrs.
Elyea, and assist her in mak-
ing the boarding department a
delightful home."

The Circular continues,

the Seminary in the town is all
that could be desired. ..The fact
that this house ("Allen House,"
built by Judge Hilliard) stands
on a ridge dividing the waters
of the Gulf from those of the
Atlantic will show the perfect
draining of the premises."

Expenses for "day schol-
ars" were $3, $4, and $5
per month, depending upon the
grade of the students. Expen-
ses for those in the "boarding
department" included tuition,
board, fuel, and lights, totalling

of course our reputation as a

"I have no idea what it will

We've had to call back exchange

"There is no more eligible

as a secondary school. In 1906,
the Institute was chartered as

Scott Academy (discontinued in
1913) was organized to offer
preparatory work. The first
degrees of the college were
conferred in June of 1906.

Mortar Board Changes letters to
Own Election Procedure THE EDIT0R

by Grace Winn

In a recent meeting Agnes Scott's (HOASC) chapter of Mor-
tar Board voted unanimously to change its procedure for the
tapping of new members and the election of the president.

In the past the president of Mortar Board has been tapped
at a candlelight ceremony the evening of the first day of stu-
dent government elections, and the rest of the chapter has been
tapped about a month later in a Mortar Board convocation.

This procedure is the result

of a historic compromise.
Years ago Mortar Board was
the most powerful campus or-
ganization and chose its pre-
sident before student elections,
often taking the key leader-
ship that would otherwise have
gone into student government.

As a result of pressure from
the administration and student
body, Mortar Board finally
made the concession that it
would tap the president after
the five presidents had been
elected. The other members
were tapped later to avoid in-
fluencing student elections.

The current chapter deci-
ded to change the system fur-
ther for a number of reasons.
According to the National Mor-
tar Board Constitution the pre-
sent method is illegal. The
whole chapter must be tapped
at once and the officers elect-
ed by the new chapter, the old
chapter, or the two together.

The current candlelight cere-
mony sets apart one student
for honor by the campus. This
honor belongs to all the mem-
bers of Mortar Board, not just
one girl.

The method we have been us-
ing diminishes the importance
of the other officers of Mortar
Board, who work as hard and
have as much responsibility as
their counterparts on other
boards. Do you know who is
vice- president of Mortar
Board? or secretary? or trea-
surer? or historian?

For such reasons the follow-
ing plan has been set up for
spring, 1967. On Tuesday even-
ing, April 18, all the mem-
bers of Mortar Board will be

tapped at a candlelight cere-
mony. That night the old and
new chapters together will elect
the five officers for the com-
ing year. The officers will be
announced to the campus the
following day at Mortar Board
convocation.

Mortar Board realizes that
there is one obvious disad-
vantage to the new plan. Since
Mortar Board tapping comes
almost a month after elec-
tions, most of the strongest
leaders may already have ac-
cepted positions of major re-
sponsibility in campus organi-
zations.

However, anyone elected to
Mortar Board should have the
leadership qualities necessary
to preside over the group. The
board hopes that it will be-
come customary for the board
president to feel free to
delegate responsibility, for ex-
ample for Black Cat or fall
elections or attendance at com-
mittees, to other members of
her board. In this way some-
one already holding a minor
office could also accept elec-
tion as Mortar Board president.

Mortar Board asks campus
support for its new procedure.
We realize that it is a difficult
thing to change tradition. We
hope that the disadvantages of
the new system will be offset
by its advantages.

The prestige of the office of
president may be lessened, but
it is hoped that the prestige
of initiation to Mortar Board
will be increased and that the
ideals of scholarship, leader-
ship and service will be re-
newed for the entire campus.

(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2)
By refusing to have non-
Christian professors, the admi-
nistration underestimates the
integrity and conviction of
ASC's Chirstian students. I fail
to see how the inclusion of non-
Christians in the faculty will
bring the Presbyterian frame-
work of ASC down about our
ears.

As for the student responsi-
bility in this matter: 1 have
heard it said, "It isn't discri-
mination, it's tradition!" I did
not realize the liberalism es-
poused by our "committed"
students was daunted by tradi-
tion. Can tradition be over-
ruled when it comforts us (dan-
cing in the dining hall, the
drinking policy, etc.), but not
when such action might rock
our complacency?

Macon Exchange Reveals
Schools Alike But Different

Two students from Randolph-Macon Woman's College in Lynchburg, Virginia, Elian Hamilton
of Jacksonville, Florida, and Jody Johnson, of Litchfield, Illinois, were recently at Agnes Scon
as part of a student exchange program. The girls, both juniors and economics majors, attended
classes, sat in on a special Rep Council meeting and went to a tea given by Carrie Scandrett, dean
of students, for the freshmen. Representing Agnes Scott at Randolph-Macon were Kathey Stubbs,.
senior, and Kat Mitchell, junior.
At the end of their stay at

Agnes Scott, Elian and Jody
concluded that the two colleges
are similar in what they have to
work with in enrollment and
purpose but that Randolph-Ma-
con approaches it in a different
way. The classes are compara-
ble in size and informality, and
as Kat Mitchell noted, many
of the same textbooks are used,
but there is more independence
and more is left up to the in-
dividual.

There are no Saturday or
Wednesday classes, this time
is spent in independent study.
Often the students will have
"take-home" tests, and many
upper-classmen take elective
courses on a pass-fail basis.
Distribution requirements and
the number of hours are simi-
lar, although Randolph-Macon
is on the semester system.

There are also more semi-
nars at Randolph-Macon. Kat
and Katheyattended a colloquium
for freshmen who exempted
freshman English in which pro-
fessors from several other de-
partments participated. Kathey
commented that this could take
the place of some seminars

for seniors, but that the collo-
qium, dealing with the nature
of man in contemporary so-
ciety did not seem to allow
the students to go into any
depth on any specific topic.
All seniors at Randolph-Ma-
con have a seminar.

One of the major differences
between the two schools appears
in the organization of the stu-
dent government. Kat and Kathey
said that a great deal of acti-
vity is centered in the dorm.

Students receive their mail
in the dorm, eat in dorm dining
halls, and in some cases even
have classes in the same build-
ing they live in. Minor infrac-
tions of the rules are handled
within the dorm by the social
and dorm rules committee of
student government, and there
is also a hall presidents' coun-
cil.

Elian and Jody, comparing
student government and organi-
zations, said that their judicial
committee is comprised of stu-
dents and faculty members. The
judicial committee handles only
cases of lying, cheating and
stealing, and each case is trea-

Faculty Policy continued from page i

show to C. Benton Kline, dean

of the faculty, and then left with

Wallace M. Alston, president of

the college.

Student body president Lynne
Wilkins has received a letter
of thanks from Dr. Alston which
asked her to convey to the stu-
dents who signed the statement
"how much Dean Kline and I
were strengthened and helped
by the knowledge of student sup-
port in the rather trying situa-
tion through which we are now
passing."

An editorial column of At-
lanta Journal writer Reese

Cleghorn appeared Friday sta-
ting that while Agnes Scott is
the "only college or university
in Georgia which already can
claim to be among the best in
its particular kind of the na-
tion," by "the exclusion of
Jewish faculty members it re-
mains in another world the by-
gone world of a provincial, pas-
toral, homogeneous, narrowly
pietistic South.

He continued that Agnes Scott
has moved out of the world in
other respects but "is clinging
to a policy that simply does not
exist in the best colleges and
universities, and for good rea-
son."

He cited rhe case^ nf Me-
thodist schools with no taculty
restriction Emory and Ran-
dolph-Macon "with which Agnes
Scott often is ranked."

Dr. Alston says the college
has received much reaction. He
estimates that about 90 per cent
is favorable, but the other 10
per cent is "rough."

He has drawn on the Danfor-
th Commission r e port
^Church Sponsored Higher Edu-
cation in the United States"
which places the Agnes Scott
situation in the broader context
of church-related schools.

That report states, "If.. .a
college intends to be a Chris-
tian community and to conduct
its work within a Christian
context, the appointment of fa-
culty members who are sym-
pathetic with this purpose and
can make a contribution to such
a community is an important

factor in selection.. .The selec-
tion of personnel is, of course,
the indispensable means by
which an institution carries out
its purpose."

Agnes Scott was one of the
case studies for the Danforth
report, written by Manning M.
Pattillo, Jr., and Donald M.
Mackenzie, and published last
year by the American Council
on Educaton. There were 50
case studies out of 817 in-
stitutions researched.

Dr. Alston points out that
one of the problems dealt with
in the Danforth study is that of
"ventilation," the presentation
of other viewpoints.

Some church-connected in-
stitutions have chosen to have
a faculty which represents
views other than Christian. Ag-
nes Scott has "worked at this
problem a long time," says
Dr. Alston, and in 1956 achiev-
ed the right openly to have lec-
turers and visiting professors
"of all stripes."

Speakers and guests have in-
cluded "every sort of leader
you can imagine," says Dr.
Alston, "and to our profit."

He says that for a long time
he has wanted to have a dis-
tinguished Jew'ish scholar such
as Abraham Katsh who spoke
at Scott recently come for a
quarter, teaching perhaps on
modern Judaism.

"We are not afraid of expos-
ing people to anything y he says,
"but we have tried to be sure
they're first rate."

As for the selection of per-
manent faculty members, Dr.
Alston says the college is look-
ing for "people who can come
and support the aims of the
college, not just the religious
aims, but the academic and
personal ones."

In the last 10 years, the col-
lege has filled around 100 po-
sitions, reviewed the papers
of 800 to 1000 prospects, and
interviewed 150 to 200 appli-
cants. Mr Kline estimates that
in that time, in only 30 cases
has the question of religion
come up and only two of the
people involved were Jewish.

ted individually; there are no set
penalties, such as campuses.

They explained that the em-
phasis is on improving an offen-
ders attitude and on rehabilita-
tion rather than on punishment.

Elian and Jody noticed also
that where Scott has chapel
everyday as well as convoca-
tion, Randolph-Macon has
no regular chapel, except ves-
pers on Thursday, and usually
has one assembly a week with a
speaker. Attendance at assem-
blies is required.

There is an active YWCAand
church groups meet on campus.
Other student organizations at
RMWC include a radio station,
student political union, a stu-
dent-run snack bar, the college
newspaper, the SUN DIAL (Elian
is managing editor) and literary
societies . There is no Mortar
Board, but there is a Phi Beta
Kappa chapter.

There are clubs for special
interests, and language halls,
where students live and are
supposed to speak only the spe-
cial language. Kat Mitchell said
that one of the differences she
noticed as far as social life

the girls go to Washington and
Lee, University of Virginia and
other colleges, for the week-
end.

All four students who parti-
cipated in the exchange program
felt it was an interesting and
worthwhile experience. Ran-
dolph-Macon also sponsored
exchanges with Hood, Wheaton,
Vanderbilt, Howard and Welles-
ley. This is the first exchange
program at Agnes Scott since
1965. The exchange committee,
under the chairmanship of Ann
Glendinning, is trying to stimu-
late interest in the program and
may sponsor other exchanges
with Antioch and Radcliffe this
year.

Glee Club
In Chapel

Agnes Scott glee club, under
the direction of Haskell Boy-
ter, will present a group of
light songs in an informal con-
cert during chapel Tuesday,
February 28. The numbers will
range from Gershwin to a six-
teenth century madrigal, call-
ed, "Mother I will have a hus-
band."

Also included will be a few
selections from familiar, mu-
sicals.

This program has been de-
signed in a light mode and is
intended to help boost spirits
during Winter Quarter Slump.

Alzada Knickerbocker of Knoxville. Tennessee, -in the plaid dress - returned from the study-
travel semester to complete her senior year in English at RadelifTe College.

Jan Knippers of Lawrenceburg, Tennessee, a graduate of the University of Tennessee, and a
former Peace Corps Volunteer, first pursued graduate studies in International Relations and re-
turned a second semester as a teaching assistant in Spanish on the world-circling campus.

Students live and attend regular classes aboard the s.s. RYNDAM. owned by the ECL Shipping
Co. of Bremen for which the Holland-America Line acts as general passenger agent. In-port activi-

graduate students through the Panama Canal to call at ports in Venezuela. Brazil. Argentina. Nigeria.
Senegal. Morocco. Spain. Portugal, The Netherlands. Denmark and Great Britain, returning to New
York May 25.

Next fall World Campus Afloat -Chapman College will take another 500 students around the
world from New York to Los Angeles and in the spring, a new student body will journey from
Los Angeles to ports on both west and east coasts of South America, in western and northern
Europe and as far east as Leningrad before returning to New York.

C.A.'s Search On For
Orientation Book

by Helen Heard

Christian Association cabinet
has already begun thinking about
orientation next year in making
plans for the freshman book
discussion. In view of the cam-
pus interest in the choice for
this year, "A Generous Man,"
the book selection committee
would like to have suggestions
from the campus at large of
possible books to consider.

Out of concern that orienta-
tion was giving a one-sided

Blood Drives

Besides self - defense, Ath-
letic Association has under-
taken to sponsor a variety of
other programs and activities
for the rest of this quarter and
the beginning of next.

Foremost is the blood drive.
Ellen Richter, chairman, sta-
tes that the introductory lec-
ture given a few weeks ago by
Doctor Greenberg of Emory
University will be complemen-
ted by hall discussions with A. A.
board members. The bloodmo-
bile will be on campus March
31.

Now that students have learn-
ed to poke out an assaulter's
yes or render one paralyzed,
they may now discover, through
a first-aid course, how to re-
pair the damage they can do.
Gail Livingston, chairman of
the first-aid committee, com-
ments that the Atlanta chapter
of the Red Cross will supply
a qualified instructor. The first
aid program will be presented
during the chapel periods on
April 25, 7 and 28.

Two other activities begun
this quarter are designed to
give the student practice in
blood-letting techniques and
setting broken bones, namely,
open fencing and ice-skating.

Each Thursday night from
7-9 p.m., the gum and the
fencing equipment will beavail-
able to all aspiring Zorros.
A board member will be there
to fence if your roommate sud-
denly remembers that a fencing
mask gives her claustrophobia.

The Belvedere ice-skating
rink has offered to rent its fa-
cilities on Sunday evenings to
Scott groups with a minimum of
15 students. The rate is $1.35
per student. This includes ren-
tal of skates and the privilege
of having only your friends see-
ing you skate sitting down. In-
terested students are requested
to sign the list posted onA.A.'s
bulletinboard in the mailroom.

view of Agnes Scott life, in 1961,
the book discussion and faculty
panel were added to the activi-
ties of orientation week. Chris-
tian Association took respon-
sibility for the program, ap-
pointing a committee of faculty
and students for the planning.

In past years, the committee
has strived to introduce the
freshmen, informally, to the
kind of intellectual activity in
which they would be engaged at
Agnes Scott. The method has
been through examination or a
contemporary book with "dis-
cussible" ideas and value as
literature. Some of the selec-
tions have been 'The Strang-
er", "The Lonely Crowd,"
'To Kill A Mockingbird,"
"Lord of the Flies," "Man's
Search for Meaning," and 'The
Democratic Prospect."

If you have any suggestions
of books to be used next year
or ways in which intellectual
orientation could be improved,
please send them to Helen
Heard, Box 253, by noon Fri-
day, March 3.

The extra-curricular aca-
demics committee has organiz-
ed a symposium on the city
entitled "Conscience of a
Blackened Street." This sym-
posium will consist of three
days of intensive study from
March 28 to March 30.

Former Georgia governor
Carl Sanders will begin the
discussion with a talk on the
political, economic, and socio-
logical implications of the city.

Sanders, who is presently
with Sanders, Hester, and Molly
law firm, began his political
career in 1954 when he was
elected to the Georgia General
Assembly from Richmond
County.

Heading the Democratic cam-
paign in Georgia in 1964, San-
ders supported Lyndon Johnson
for president and spoke in be-
half of the Democratic ticket
in other parts of the South.

As governor, he was espec-
ially interested in the extention
of educational opportunities in
Georgia. At the beginning of
his term he emphasized this to
a reporter from the "Satur-
day Evening Post." Sanders
asserted, "While I am gover-
nor we are not going to resist
federal court orders with vio-
lence and we are not going to
close any schools."

Sanders also repeatedly de-
plored extremism as an en-
couragement of violence and
was noted for his record of
moderation as governor.

Paris Theatre Group
To Give Moliere Play

Bringing 17th century drama
into a contemporary mood, Le
Treateau de Paris Theatre
Company will present "Les
Femmes Savantes" on March
3 at 8:30 p.m. in Gaines Chap-
el.

Moliere's classic concerns
the conflict between a man
whose simple wish is to live a
quiet natural life and to have
his dominant "savante," or
intellectually minded wife cook

a good meal rather than subject
the family to endless recitations
of poetry and current cultural
fads. Playing in modern cos-
tume and setting, the company
retains Moliere's ridicule of the
17th century "savantes" yet
in a universal manner.

The company comes to Agnes
Scott on a tour of 150 campuses
in North America. Admission
is $2.00 for students and $3.50
for adults.

by Rosalind Todd
"Ethos: Mass and Mediocrity."

Presently visiting professor
of philosophy at Agnes Scott,
Mr. Greene has also been a
member of the faculty at such
schools as Yale and Princeton.

Mr. Greene has written ar-
ticles on aesthetes, philosophy
of religion, and liberalism, as
well as several books, including
* Liberal Education Reconsid-
ered," 'The Arts and the Art
of Criticism" and "Liberal-
ism, Its Theory and Practice."

Of the latter book Mr. Greene
once said, "All I have tried
to do is formulate and defend,
as simply and directly as pos-
sible, what thoughtful and loyal
Americans have always believ-
ed and still believe about lib-
erty and the conditions and ex-
pressions of liberty. These
beliefs are indeed old, but not
old-fashioned. Today they
stand in need of reaffirmation
and clarification."

Another speaker at the sym-
posium will be Ivan Allen, may-
or of Atlanta. Mayor Allen
will be a member of a panel
along with Rodney Cook, Repub-
lican State Representative, and
Glenn Bennett, Director of At-
lanta Area Metropolitan Plan-
ning Commission.

Allen was first elected may-
or in 1961. Since then he has
promoted programs which have
resulted in the desegregation
of Atlanta schools, the creation

Week's Chapels
Deal With
City Problems

The second week of concen-
tration on one topic for a week's
chapel comes up next week. This
time the general subject to be
explored from different angles
is the rapidly growing city,
specifically Atlanta.

This discussion is to boost
interest in chapels and to pre-
pare students for the sympo-
sium on the city to be held the
first week of spring quarter.

Dr. Vernon Broyles, minis-
ter at North Avenue Presby-
terian Church will begin the
program Tuesday, March 7. He
will speak on "North Avenue at
the Crossroads."

Atlanta's poverty, crime and
alcoholism will concern the
convocation speaker Wednes-
day. He will be Michael H.
Trotter, Atlanta attorney.

Fulton County Manager Alan
Kiepper will speak Thursday
on the problems of "Govern-
ing a Metropolitan Area."

Friday's program will cfeal
with "Poverty and Affluence."
The speaker will be Mrs. O.T.
Clarke, director of the Depart-
ment of Family and Children
Services of DeKalb County.

Allen has also prided himself
on his relations with the Negro
community. He was one of the
few Southerners who testified
for the 1964 Civil Rights Bill,
including the public accommo-
dations section.

Concluding the symposium
will be William Stringfellow, a
lawyer and Episcopal lay theo-
logian.

Tech Frosh
Hold Mixer
Tomorrow

To fulfill a campaign promise
of the freshman class president
at Georgia Tech, and to repay
Agnes Scott for their picnic
each year, their freshman class
is giving us a dance tomorrow,
Friday, March 3. This is also
in response to complaints from
Georgia Tech as to, "How can
we meet them if we don't have
a car;" and to those from Scott,
"We don't ever see anybody
from Tech."

The dance will be held in the
Crenshaw Building atTech from
8-12 p.m., and the band will be
Carnations. Dress is informal
and refreshments will be ser-
ved. The Tech freshmen are
paying for everything except
the transportation. But Sally
Tucker, the president of the
freshmen class, has arranged
to charter buses and charge
only 75 a piece to pay for ex-
penses.

The dance is strictly a mix-
er, designed as Sally says to
give Scotties, "A chance to get
to know tons of boys. We are
planning on plenty of mixer
dancers so that everyone will
get a chance to circulate and
meet different guys. It's going
to be a lot of fun, all we need
is lots of girls as the boys will
be in a big majority. Don't
be shy, come on out and we can
guarantee you a good time."

The dance is not restricted
just to freshmen, however. Up-
perclassmen from both schools
may attend also, or you can take
a date.

sticflil disorder in tlxe dre33<

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are
those of the majority of the editorial staff. They do not necessari-
ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body.

Apartment
Department

There has much much dissatisfaction this
year with the apartment policy, stated in the
Handbook that "Agnes Scott students are not
to visit men's living quarters (hotels, motels,
apartments, etc.) individually or in groups
except under circumstances which, in the
judgment of the Dean of Students assure
adequate protection to the students and to
the good name of the college. "

The time has come to add our voice to
those in dissent. We see no justification for
the maintenance of the policy as it stands.

The first reason, the adequate protection
of the students, is not, we feel, the right of
the college in this case. The college is acting
"in loco parentis" without giving parents a
chance to act in their own right first. If the
college considers it essential to curtail the
activities of students in this way, parents
should certainly be given a voice as to whe-
ther they want the college to act for them.

Students can obtain parential permission
to drink, drive a car, visit our of town, and
a number of other things e Visiting men's
apartments should certainly be equal with
these activities, some of which are more
"dangerous."

The maintenance of the college's good name
is the other "justification" for this policy.
It was not deemed necessary to point out why
any other course would damage the college's
good name (which reason is even more diffi-
cult to discern than why any other course does
not protect students adequately).

Furthermore, a member of the administra-
tive committee has stated that the reason for
the policy is not the "image." In all, this
particular reason seems too vague to justify
it as a reason.

We recommend an immediate change in the
apartment policy. We realize the all-out kind
of freedom, which includes freedom under pa-
rental permission, for all students, which
would be a great advance, is entirely too
much to hope for. There must be modifica-
tion, however.

The college policy as it now stands does
not justify itself, nor can we find any way
to justify it for the college.

Freedoms Award

Aikman Relives 4 77 Winter
In Trip To Valley Forge

by Susan Aikman
Valley Forge must have been miserable for those men quartered there during the winter of
1777. It was bad enough for those of us who were there last week in heavy wool clothes touring
on a heated bus.

The occasion was the annual Awards Ceremony of the Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge,
held of course on George Washington's birthday. Sophomore Ann Fisher and 1 were among those
freezing in the old historic barn where the ceremonies were held.

The trip came about because
the Principal Award for a Col-
lege Campus Program for which
so many Emory and Scott stu-
dents worked so long last win-
ter quarter.

The Foundation in presenting
the award described the organi-
zation this way "a well-planned,
unique patriotic program
(which) involved well - known
speakers and students from col-
leges across the State of Geor-
gia in an enthusiastic rally to
show support for the United Sta-
tes Government's commitment
to South Vietnam."

Remar M "Bubba" Sutton,
who was chairman of the Board
of Directors of the organiza-
tion, accepted the encased
George Washington Honor Me-
dal and check for $500 from
Dr. Ken Wells, president of
the Freedoms Foundation, and
Howard H. "Bo" Callaway,
chairman of its trustees.

The day of Washington's
birthday started off with a tour
of Valley Forge guided by a
man dressed as a member of the
Life Guard. We saw the statue
of General "Mad Anthony"
Wayne, who was the best dres-
sed soldier of the Revolution.

His caprices with his mis-
tresses kept him away from
the bloody battles and chances
of getting dirty. -One of the
Emory boys termed him "the
James Bond of the Revolution."

We "dismounted" from the
bus, tramped through the icy
snow and visited a log cabin
like those where the men were
quartered. After being through-
ly convinced of the hardships
which the Revolutionary War
soldiers endured, we heard se-
veral tales- of gruesome woe.
The guide almost burst into
tears a couple of times he
was either extremely patrio-
tic or else a very good actor.

We learned some interesting
facts, however. Did you know
that the first troops into Valley
Forge in December 1776 were
from Georgia and South Caro-

Mockings From Ramona

Dear Mom,

Junior Jaunt was really a
thrill. I decided, however, that
faculty skits, like Black Cat
and senior opera, should al-
ways be reviewed by the en-
tertainment committee.

I also decided that Dr. Hayes
must be retiring to go to Holly-
wood for amovie career. I know
MGM must want him to sign
after his magnificent perfor-
mance last week.

I've been carrying around a
box of crackers hoping to meet
Dean Kline. But I didn't see
him, so I ate them myself.

I must confess that it was I
who kept shouting "No!" from
the front row when Prince Bum-
po kept saying he wanted to be
a fairy prince.

I was sitting next to Harri-
son who missed Mr. Brown's
entire scene. As soon as he
came on the stage she swoon-
ed in her sari and came to on-
ly for the curtain calls.

Dr. Rob came dashingacross
the Mailroom Saturday to con-
gratulate me on my Sunday
School attendance pin. Then he
discovered it was my "I Milked

Rosebud" pin.

Miss Click congratulated me
on my authentic Roman cos-
tume. Somehow the instructions
on sari - wrapping lost some-
thing on me.

In case this letter seems in-
coherent, Mom, let me explain
that I am in the lobby, and not
only has the jungle patrol just
been through, but the love of my
life, Gudge Nichols, justwalked
in (even if it is Monday). He's
so cute. I'm still hoping to knock
out Mary before the big day.

The exchange with Randolph-
Macon was really exciting. I'm
looking forward to the one with
Alaska.

I was going out to dinner with
the girls, but I got parted from
them. I was to meet them at
Dixieland, but I took the wrong
bus. Later 1 found out they
went in a car. I ended up at
Underground Atlanta.

I ran into old Al Pope, of
all people. My self - defense
course this quarter came in
very handy. First this man ap-
proached us rather menacingly
so I ran over and stroked his

face. It turned out to be the
proprietor of Big John's asking
us to come in. We did, but when
he discovered I'm not 21, he
asked us to go out.

We were met by this other
man who scared Al so, he
fainted away, crushing my foot,
which is my only injury.

I gave him the karate yell,
and he lost his lunch. I felt
sorry for him, then, so I help-
ed him find it. It was in a plain
wrapper by the tracks. We split
his egg salad sandwich. When
Al came to, we offered him
some, but he wasn't feeling
very hungry.

Cassandra is all in the midst
of transferring. She's applied
about 15 places. She has to have
so many recommendations that
she's asking professors she
hasn't even had teach her. But
Mary Rion, Ph.D. was very
nice about the whole thing.

Guess who I say yesterday.
Kit McMillan with my old friend
Barbara Ayers.

Hazel sends her love.

Love,

Una and were wearing their
summer uniforms? Did you
know that Lafayette was only 19
years old at the time of the out-
break of hostilities?

I must admit to being slight-
ly disillusioned with George W.
While his men suffered and died,
he lived in a two story rock
house with fireplaces and sat
up till four o'clock in the morn-
ing writing letters to Lafayette.

Following the tour, we atten-
ded the banquet would you be-
lieve cherry tarts for dessert.
Then we trooped down to the
awards ceremony.

One highlight of the cere-
mony was a direct phone hook-
up with Bob Hope, an awardee
who couldn't make it to Penn-
sylvania. Another highlight
came when Emory's Bill Tucker
closed the historic door of the
historic barn and kept out the
historic wind.

The top award of the Foun-

dation, the George Washington
Plaque, was awarded posthu-
mously to Pfc. Hiram D. Strick-
land who died last year in Viet-
nam. It was prompted by a let-
ter which he had written to be
sent to his family in case of
his death.

The letter read in part "Don't
mourn me, Mother, for I'm
happy I died fighting my Coun-
try's enemies, and I will live
forever in people's minds. I've
done what I've always dreamed
of. Don't mourn me, for I died
soldier of the United States of
America."

It was quite an hbflor^ fb^ Af-
firmation: Viet Nam to receive
this award. It is a shame that
all the Scott and Emory students
who worked for it could not
have made the trip to Valley
Forge on the private prop- jet,
for an historic time was had
by all.

Kline Explains Faculty
Tenure Method At Scott

Most Agnes Scott faculty members are granted tenure after
teaching four years , If an instructor is not granted tenure
after this time, he or she will usually leave, but may remain
a maximum of one year longer.

Tenure lasts until age 65.
Professors may retire at 65,
but must retire when they are
70. After age 65, appointments
are made annually.

The basis of evaluation for
tenure comes from colleagues,
students, administration. As
for student opinion, according
to C. Benton Kline, dean of the
faculty, he can judge teaching
effectiveness by students' com-
ments and by their perform-
ance in other courses. "We
watch the grades they make in
upper courses in the depart-
ment," says Mr. Kline.

"Some students come direct-
ly to-complain, or to commend,"
he says. Much of the evalua-
tion is informal, however.

Mr. Kline says he can learn
a great deal from what students
say informally, particularly
when they are changing courses.
"But J don't want to sound like
I have a complete spy system
set up," he said.

"It is important that we look
for patterns, not individual
things," he says. "It bothers
the faculty that we listen to
students sometimes, but we
watch for patterns forming."

"We find out almost every
way except by visiting classes,

which they do in some places,"
he said.

Rating by other faculty people
is also "extremely informal",
according to Mr. Kline. There
is departmental judgment, the
formality of which depends
largely upon the size of the de-
partment involved.

"We have all sorts of infor-
mal ways," he says. "Faculty
advisors talk, for instance."

Alumnae are a source of eval-
uation, although because of the
time span involved, the com-
ments rarely can affect tenure
decisions. Mr. Kline values the
opinion of alumnae who have
been out of school for a year or
two, especially if they have gone
on to graduate school.

The administration expects to
give tenure to almost all faculty
persons who are hired. There
are special exceptions when
someone is filling in for a pro-
fessor on leave or in a large
department where there may be
a floating instruetorship.

President Wallace Alston
says, "Our life as a college
depends pretty much in the
hands of the small group of
people that are given tenure.
We hope they'll be permanent.

THE PROFILE

Administration, Faculty
Discuss Academic Freedom

"T he lack of external restraint on content and methods is one of the reasons I'm glad I'm teach-
ing here," says Kwai Sing Chang, associate professor of Bible and philosophy, of the academic
freedom at Agnes Scott.

The statement governing academic freedom for faculty members was passed by the board of
trustees May 11, 1956. It is as follows:

"We are proud of a tradition that assumes and safeguards the freedom of faculty members to
think, to speak, to write, and to act. It is expected that faculty members will exercise this free-
dom with due regard for the purposes and ideals of the College, with common sense, and with a
maturity that discriminates between the irresponsibility of license and the responsibility of true
liberty."

Says Mariam Drucker, pro-
fessor of psychology, of the

what he wishes... I've never seen
anything otherwise here. There
are differences among colleges.
The AAUP has published a
statement on academic free-
dom. Our statement has dif-
ferent words but the same

Agnes Scott Operates
Four Loan Programs

Despite lack of scholarship funds to meet its lull need Agnes
Scott is not a part of the National Defense Student Loan Pro-
gram, sponsored by the federal government.

This loan program is provided for in Title II of the 1958 Na-
tional Defense Education Act. In this program, thefederal govern-
ment contributes up to 90% of the totalamount of each institutio-
nal loan fund. The individual institution is then responsible for the
administration of the funds, the selection of the student recipients
and the collection of the loans.

Laura Steele, director of ad-
missions, said this stipulation
involving a ten per cent commit-
ment of the college would en-
tail the need for a full-time
financial-aid officer. She said
the college's own loan funds
are not used fully enough to
justify the considerable expense
of employing such an officer.
She said we accumulate ap-
proximately $ 1 700 annually for
use in student loans, and that
this year for example $400 is
not now being used.

Wallace Alston, president of
the college, said the main rea-
son Agnes Scott is not a part
of the program is because there
"has not been enough demand
for it", either when it was be-

Juniors,
Sophs Tie
As Champs

by Evelyn Angeletti

The final game of the basket-
ball season found the juniors
emerging victorious over the
freshmen to the score of 29-20.

Both teams had difficulty in
locating the basket for points
from the floor, but the juniors
eventually found the mark on
set shots ftfom 15 and 20 feet
out to break the jinx.

Popeye also stole the ball
from Chris Robin and disrupted
his plays. In reply, the fresh-
men pulled in frequent rebounds
and harrassed their opponents
with jumpballs.

Spirit and humor marked the
game. According to the rules of
fair play, a team defends one
goal for half a game then swit-
ches baskets with the opposing
squad for the second half. This
allows each team to shoot for the
balcony and the stage curtain.

As the second half began,
Kathy Stafford received the tip-
off ball and dribbled fiercely
for the stage-end basket, which
happened to be the one the fresh-
men were supposed to shoot for
that half. Her junior team-
mates soon informed Kathy of
her error despite freshmen at-
tempts to keep her and the ball
on their side.

High scorer for the juniors
was Lucy Rose with 15 points*
Elizabeth Crum contributed 14
points to Che freshman efforts

The juniors and the sopho-
mores tied fur first place in
the season standings. The
freshmen placed third with the
seniors in fourth position.

gun or now. He added that this
does not mean we could not be-
come a part of it in the future.

Miss Steele pointed out that
the present federal program
may be "phased out" by the
federally-aided state program,
under which we now receive
loans. This is another reason
she gave for our non-participa-
tion in the National Defense Stu-
dent Loan Program. Under the
federal program, a student may
borrow an equal amount an-
nually, and the school cannot
receive money from both since
it is prefer ed to owe only one
group at a time.

The loan programs under
which Agnes Scott now ope-
rates are four:

(1) The federally - assisted
state - guaranteed loans, pre-
viously mentioned, which give
insured loans with the amount
depending on the state in which
the individual lives, and only
need - usually a family income
of less than $15,000 annually.
The government pays the in-
terest on the loan while the
student is in school and three
per cent of it when she is out.

(2) Agnes Scott loans. These
include the Bing Crosby Youth
Fund, and loans from endowed
funds in which four per cent
interest is charged only after
withdrawal or graduation and
must be repaid within five years
of withdrawal or graduation .

(3) State Teacher Scholar-
ships, for prospective teachers
with a "B" average, in both
undergraduate and graduate
study. These may be repaid
through teaching in the state.

(4) Loan funds, of which the
Student Air Foundation and the
Pickett and Hatcher Education
Fund are two examples.

For a while, Stringfellow liv-
ed and practiced law as a mem-
ber of the group ministry of the
East Harlem Protestant Parish.
Out o f this experience String-
fellow wrote an account entitled
"My People Is the Enemy."

Here, Stringfellow writes,
"Coming to Harlem did not
mean a desertion of my past;
it meant bringing it with me
into a new situation. There
was no need for any physcholo-
gical disassociation, nor was
there any practical disassocia-
tion either."

He continues, "I crossed a
lot of boundaries in the course
of a day. That in itself is not
so important. What is very im-
portant is that in crossing boun-
daries of class and race and
education and all the rest, a
man remain himself. What is
important is not where a man is,
but who a man is, and that he
be the same man wherever he
is."

Tennis Team Sends
Girls To Tourney

Tennis season is beginning a
little early this year for Agnes
Scott players. The occasion is
the Southern Womens' Intercol-
legiate Tennis Tournament to
be held tomorrow and Saturday.

The girls leave today with
Kate McKemie of the physical
education department for the
University of Florida at Talla-
hassee. Approximately twenty
colleges are scheduled to par-
tic ipate from Sophie New-
combe in New Orleans to Mary
Baldwin in Virginia.

The tournament players will
include some of the top-ranked
girls in the South, for example,

Stephanie DeFina, Windy Over-
ton andCarol Hughes. Stephanie
has been a member of the Jun-
ior Wightman Cup squad for the
past two years and won atTalla-
hassee last year over Windy.
Carol Hughes from Mississippi
State College for Women won
the Middle-Atlantic Intercolle-
giate title this past season.

With such a wide range of
schools and highly ranked play-
ers, the competition will offer
opportunities both on and off the
court. One Scottie commented
on her going, "I'm very excit-
ed. It should be a lot of fun
and good experience tool"

"We are not given to adopting
someone's else's stuff straight
around here."

Asked about the academic
freedom, Wallace M. Alston
president of the college, com-
mented, "To me it's all a pack-
age. With the careful selection
of faculty members and the
careful selection of students,
we can have confidence in each
other.

"Any violation of the acade-
mic freedom is a violation of
something very important to a
college like this. One of the
good things about a private col-
lege is the right to bring to-
gether people in whom we can
have confidence. The freedom
and confidence are related."

"My conception is an atmos-
phere of confidence and respon-
sibility," he continued, "and
this is what freedom involves.
This is the essence of acade-
mic freedom; it's the essence
of academic freedom as ap-
plied to students/'

He pointed out that he feels
quite strongly, as did former
president James Ross McCain,
on the question.

Dr. Alston says he has never
had occasion to tell a faculty
member not to say or write
something, and that he would
not do so to a student either.

Danforth
Commission

He cited the recent report
of the Danforth Commission en-
titled "Church - Sponsored
Higher Education in the United
States," a 1966 publication of
the American Council on Edu-
cation. Authors Manning M.
Pattillo, Jr. and Donald M.
MacKenzie. studied 817 insti-
tutions which have connections
with Christianor Jewish bodies.
Agnes Scott was one of the 50
institutions used as a case
study.

The authors state, Dr. Alston
pointed out, that while it is
proper for a college to appoint
only faculty "whom seem most
likely to contribute to its pur-
poses," whatever those are,
"once appointed, faculty mem-
bers must have intellectual
freedom if they are to dis-
charge their educational re-
sponsibilities."

"There is no violation of
freedom here," he concluded.
"If it isn't true of students, we
need to do something about it."

Associate professor of history
Geraldine M. Merony indicates
that this freedom is not always
the case.

Loyalty Oaths

She comments, "Some state
legislatures have required loy-
alty oaths, security forms, this
sort, of thing, which in one
sense can limit academic free-
dom if they are interpreted in
certain ways - i.e. narrowly.
This might keep you from dis-
cussing, for example, the Rus-
sian Revolution.

'There are some schools
where football is so vital there
would be pressure on faculty
to pass students for reasons
other than academic. Also,
sometimes in public institu-
tions, .the political views of the
faculty may be stiffled. This is
not necessarily my personal ex-

perience, but these situations
can exist.

'The other side of the coin is
academic responsibility. Fac-
ulty members can fall down in
this responsibility; they might
teach their own personal opin-
ion, political or religious, in
the classroom, rather than
presenting an objective and
scholarly viewof the material."

"I've taught in three schools, "
says professor of chemistry
Marion T. Clark, "Birmingham
Southern, Emory and Scott, and I've
never felt any restraint in aca-
demic matters by the adminis-
tration. But with a chemistry
professor sticking to chemis-
try, this is not surprising, and
I'm aware of that. Until you
go into matters that involve so-
cial issues, there is little rea-
son to think an administration
is going to be concerned at all,
for anything except accuracy.
In some areas there arise hon-
est differences of opinion as to
what the truth is. Nobody's
ever told me what to teach."

Student Freedom

Although the policy of the
trustees speaks specifically of
faculty only, the same freedom
is generally accorded students,
as indicated by Dr. Alston.

Says Mr. Chang, "I likewise
extend the same kind of free-
dom to my students. I don't
grade their papers as to what
the answer is, but as to how
they get the answer they do,"

"It is the academic respon-
sibility of the faculty to insure
the academic freedom of the
student in the classroom, " says
Miss Meroney. "I would hope
that the academic freedom of
the students is just as complete.
The students' responsibility is
the same as the faculty's - ob-
jectivity, sticking to the sub-
ject, etc. Faculty members
should allow complete freedom
of speech in the classroom.
Students should not be afraid
to speak their views."

Asked if he hears complaints
of the abuse of academic free-
dom, Mr. Kline said that stu-
dents sometimes object when
a professor speaks on irrele-
vant subjects in class. "But
students learn to correct for
professorial bias," he con-
tinued. "It's part of the ma-
turity of learning."

Independence

Mr. Kline pointed out that
there is a "fierce independence
in the faculty" which results
in academic freedom that has
nothing to do with the board's
statement.

"It's part of the whole style
of life here," he said. "You
are hired because you are a
good teacher and you are left
to teach your own way."

Mrs. Drucker's final state-
ment was, "I have seen Dr.
Alston and Dean Kline undergo
some testing of whether we
really have academic freedom.
And they have defended our
right to have academic free-
dom in our college community.

"With my name I would like
to go a statement of ao^recia-
tion for the support of the ad-
ministration in the area of aca-
demic freedom. It is excellent;
I don't see how it could be bet-
ter."

as it setting. On the technical level, "Marat/Sade" utilizes
the revolutionary method of "total theatre." And on the per-
formance level, this play helps to revolutionize American
theatre by bringing back artistic theatre to the American

Stage.

The literal action of the play
is actually established by its
full title. The Marquis de Sade,
who himself is in the Charen-
ton Asylum, directs the inma-
tes in performing a play that he
has written about the persecu-
tion and assassination of Jean-
Paul Marat, a French Revolu-
tionist. The audience is actually
acknowledged, but they are ac-
knowledged as fashionable Pari-
sians who used to attend the pro-
ductions of Sade's plays.

Against this revolutionary
background, Peter Weiss, the
playwright, combines all the
elements of theatre, even though
there might be contradictory
ones in this combination, to
produce a technique which is
called "total theatre" in dra-
matic circles.

Two noteable new concepts
explored by Weiss are Brecht's
concept of alienation of the
Theatre of the Absurd and Ar-
taud's concept of shock in the
Theatre of Cruelty. Alienated
by their insanity from any com-
prehension of the meaning of
their pleas for political free-
dom as they reenact parts of
the French Revolution, the in-
mates encompass most of the
absurdity suggested by the play.

Weiss is able to prove through
the patients the absurdity of his-
torical revolutions for man's
poUtcal freedom until man is
able to free himself from "these
cells of the inner self." By us-
ing cruelty, the playwright
shocks his audience into reali-
zations. One is shocked by the
use of cruelty by the asylum

guards in handling the patients.

As the pantomimic enact-
ments of the Reigh of Terror are
portrayed, the imagination be-
comes appauled by the sugges-
tions of repulsive tortures. The
shock felt by the audience from
these excruciating violences
was not nearly as detectable as
the shock from the nude as-
cension of Marat from the pit.
Thus, one was able to experi-
ence not only absurdities upon
the stage, but also within the
audience.

In keeping with his total me-
thod Weiss has very artistically
juxtaposed comic and tragedic
aspects. Just when the trage-
dic depths are being reached
with murders and assassina-
tions and insanity, a four-piece
musical chorus, in the musi-
cal-comedy tradition, sing and
dance to suchcatchy tunes as
"And what's the point of a re-
volution without general copula-
tion."

The philosophical motifs of
the play are both didactic and
confusing. The heavily propoun-
ded dialogues between Marat
and Sade, which border on be-
ing philosophical monologues,
supply some of the didactic ele-
ment. But this didactic quality
is encompassed by confusion
which the audience experiences
upon hearing two such conflict-
ing philosophies proven true.

. Marat proposes idealistic and
revolutionary ideas, and Sade
upholds realistic and stoic ones.
The patients both approve and
react against Marat's ideas,
and thus upholding each argu-
ment. The audience is left con-
fused by the simultaneous pro-
ving of two such conflicting
ideas.

One's immediate reaction to
anything total is usually with
approval. However, after seeing
"Marat/Sade" I have my reser-

Early Relives Scott's Past
With Bellringer John Flint

by Sandra Jiarly

Who is John Flint? If you don't know, you should find out (hint: he has nothing to do with John
Gait).

I met John Flint last Thursday afternoon and spent one of the best afternoons I've had since
I came to Agnes Scott.

It all started with a bell the bell that Llewellyn Wilburn, associate professor of physical

education, found in the office of P.J. Rogers, business manager , and rang to start the Shrove
Tuesday Pancake Race which Penelope Campbell, assistant professor of history, sponsored
for her sophomore advises. The bell has a history, and I set out to find out about it.

In the earlier years of the
college, when the original
building, called the White
House, was still on campus,
meals were served in what is
now Rebekah Reception Room
and also in the White Mouse.
Meals were seated and were
quite a social occasion accor-
ding to which faculty member's
table one sat at.

Girls were called to meals
by the ringing of a bell. Se-
veral of these bells were worn
out in the course of the years,
but the last one was the brass
handbell rediscovered by Miss
Wilburn for the Pancake Race.
The bellringer was John Flint.
He used to walk up and down
the colonade, ringing the bell,
and calling the girls to dinner.

Piercing Tone

The bell is brass with a
chipped, but sturdy, black woo-
den handle and when rung, the
bell has a clear, piercing tone.
Use of the bell was discon-
tinued when meals began to
be served cafeteria style.

Miss Wilburn polished the
bell and took it to Dr. Als-
ton; he was so pleased with
it that he decided to keep it
in his new office. Soon, how-
ever, he was persuaded by
Edna H. Byers librarian, to
give it to the library to be put
into the Agnes Scott Room.

Sentimentalist

Being a sentimentalist, I was
charmed by the story of the
bell and the pictures it brought
to mind of an earlier time of
grace and ease that we seem to
have lost. So I telephoned John
Flint and asked him to come out
to the college.

I intended to have his picture
taken with the bell, ask him to
reminisce about it and then
write an article calling for a
revival of this grand old tra-
dition on some occasion like
founder's day or alumnae week-
end. The story turned out to be
more than that.

I should have realized before
I met John Flint that I was to
meet a very special person.
Everyone spoke of him in such
an admiring way. In an interview
with Miss W'ilburn, she called
him "one of the most dignified
of men" and she added that he
made serving the meals "quite
a ceremony."

When I went to Bertie Bond
to ask to borrow the bell from
Dr. Alston for the picture, she
told, me that John Flint was "the
epitome of dignity" and "as dig-
nified as any of our col lege pre-
sidents." Roberta Winter want-
ed to know when Mr. Flint was
coming so that she could come
over and see him.

Then I met John Flint. It was

lobby of Buttrick with Miss Wil-
burn and Roberta Winter, asso-
ciate professor of speech and
drama. I borrowed the bell and
gave it to Mr. Flint and we all
went to make the picture. On
the colonade Mr. Flint took a
few practiced rings on the bell.

Buttrick Lobby

Back in Buttrick John Flint
pointed out that he had done all
the painting in the lobby. It was
done first with a cream back-
ground and then dark brown
highlights.

The design in the plaster on
the ceiling (have you ever look-
ed at the ceiling?) was espe-
cially hard to do. Mr. Flint
said, "Mr. Rogers didn't know
I could do that kind of work; he
said I saved the college four
or five hundred dollars."

While returning the bell to
Dr. Alston's office we admir-
ed the new office and Mr Flint
and Dr. Alston talked for a few
minutes. When they shook hands
Dr. Alston told John Flint,
"You've still got a good old
hand-clasp." And as we were
leaving Mr. Flint said to Dr.
Alston, "I remember you and
the college in my prayers.'*

Omw ake

On our way to the library we
met Katherine Omwake, asso-
ciate professor of psychology,
who shook hands with John Flint
and made the bymow -common
statement: "Let me tell you
this is a wonderful man." In
the library Mrs. Byers showed
us the Robert Frost Room and
the as-yet unfinished Agnes
Scott Room. While Mrs. Byers
and Mr. Flint reminsced over
pictures of old friends of the
college and places on campus,
I looked at a program from
the 1953 Employees' Testimo-
nial Dinner.

John Flint was the college's
oldest employee in terms of
continuous service. He was
born in 1884 in Newton County,
Georgia, and came to work at
Agnes Scott in December, 110,
as a janitor in Rebekah Dormi-
tory.

He was headwaiter in the

White House dining room and in
the new dining hall was head-
waiter and director of cafeteria
personnel. "John was a favorite
among those who came in con-
tact with him when the college
used the White House dining
room."

Later when we were sitting
in the Hub, Mr. Flint talked
about his career at Agnes Scott.
While working in Rebekah, Mr.
Flint waited tables, cleaned the
lobby and collected linen for the
other waiters. The bell had to
be rung three times a day for
meals.

He said that the girls only
stole the bell from him once
and hid it, because when he rang
the bell there was no time to
play pranks; "When I closed
the door (to the dining room)
there was no coming in." He
occasionally would ring the bell
a little later than usual for girls
who had told him they would be
late for a meal and begged him*
to hold the bell.

Hot Rolls

He spoke about the meals and
remembered especially the hot
rolls which Miss Winter had
reminded him of. They had hot
biscuits for breakfast and either
pancakes or waffles. Then they
had hot rolls for lunch and din-
ner and occasionally a whip-
cream topped dessert which Mr.
Flint called "crumb pudding."
But Mr. Flint said he "never
did eat very much himself."

Mr. Flint worked at Agnes
Scott all year around, and for
several years during the sum-
mer he helped dig the founda-
tions for Inman Hall and the
Hub.

When he was headwaiter he
was in charge of all the men
who served food. "All my wai-
ters had to be dressed like go-
ing to a banquet," he said. They
wore white coats, white shirts,
black bow ties, and blue or
black "trousers." They had to
have their shoes "shined three
times a day." Mr. Flint went
on to say that "It was given up
at that time that I had the best
waiters that there ever was on
campus at the White House."
Speaking of our dining hall now,
he said, "I look at some of
those boys over there now -
whee-oo!"

( lafeteria

After the Rebekah dining
room was closed, meals were
served in the new dining hall
and were cafeteria style. Dur-
ing this time one dietician told
Mr. Flint that he "could serve
more people than anyone she
ever knew." Mr. Flint said that
she claimed he had served 350
people in ninety minutes.

Mr. Flint worked at Agnes
Scott until 1958, and he still
remembers little things he used
to do for the college: a number
of times he got up at 4:30 a.m.
to come over and help decorate
Rebekah for parties; once a
year he used to get a horse
and wagon and haul "great big
old long logs" to burn at Hallo-
ween; he also scattered food for
the squirrels and often was the
target for student-thrown snow-
balls. He concluded our conver-
sation by saying "Some of my
best white friends are here at
Agnes Scott;" then he went off
alone to say hello to Mr. Rogers
and then go home.

Scott, Emory
Co-Operate
For Reform

by Helen Roach

Increasingly over the last de-
cade students across the nation
have become aware and con-
cerned about what they want
and expect from their educa-
tion. Again, across the nation,
but primarily in the North and
on the West coast, students
have begun to move and take
responsibilities in an effort
to realize and secure their as-
pirations.

But what about the South?
Always a lagger, she seems
to be slowly nodding her head
and trying to wake. Already
at Scott students have made
a very positive and promis-
ing step through initating the
joint student-faculty education
evaluation committee.

Now the student government
of Agnes Scott, in co-opera-
tion with student government of
Emory, is making an effort
to involve students from all
over the South in a conference
discussion of the purpose of
education, the function of the
college and university in edu-
cation, and specifically, the role
of the student in the educational
institution.

The conference, titled "The
University Experience Edu-
cational Reform in the South",
is to be held on the Emory
campus, April 21-22, 1967 and
will be gopen to delegates from
all southern institutions of high-
er education. Major effort is
being made to see that faculty
members are included in the
delegations.

The speaker and resource
person list is thus far incom-
plete but will include Scott's
own Theodore Green, former
Georgia U.S. Representative
Charles L. Weltner, Dr. Bevin
of Florida Presbyterian Col-
lege, Ed Swartz NSA vice-pre-
sident, Tom Altizer of Emory,
and Georgia State Representa-
tive Julian Bond.

General discussion areas will
include the university and so-
ciety, the role of the student,
aspects of expermentation in
education, initating reform.
Workshops are planned in the
following areas: the experimen-
tal college, independent and di-
rected study, course and tea-
cher evaluation, and pass-fail
systems.

Hopefully the Scott delegation
will be open toas many students
and faculty as are interested in
participating. More thorough
information will be posted later.

Grading Systems Differ
Greatly Among Schools

Until the 1940's Agnes Scott had a grading system consisting of 'merit," "pass," or "fail"
rather than the conventional letter grades. Students received one of these tree evaluations,
but letter grades were entered on their permanent records, "Merit" was A, B, or C with "pass"
being D and "fail" F.

As students called for more accurate grades, teachers began giving "merit ' " and "merit-".
Eventually the system was simplified to the more conventional letter grades. In recent years
there has been a movment in colleges and universities to try systems similar to our old qn.e.

This movement is called
pass-fail and in a course under
the system, a student receives
only a grade of either "pass"
or "fail". The system usually
does not extend to the grading
of all courses of a college It
is an option openonlyto upper-
classmen in many cases. In
most colleges the option can
only be used once per term
and is limited to courses out-
side a student's major field.
Some colleges do not count
pass-fail courses toward gra-
duation requirements.

Princeton University and
Brown University are two of the
colleges which have used pass-
fail long enough to have some
idea of its effects. They have
both said it is moderately suc-
cessful in luring students to at-
tempt new fields.

About one-eight of the stu-
dents at Brown took a pass-
fail course last spring. In a
survey done at that time, it was
found that the courses taken un-
der the new system convered
a wide range of fields; no area
received more than ten percent
of the total. English was found
to be the most popular area
with math and science being the
areas least chosen.

Colleges like Columbia Uni-
versity and the University of
Pennsylvania and, on the west
coast, California Institute of
Technology, Stanford Univer-
sity and the University of Cali-
fornia at Berkeley have recent-
ly instituted the system. Wo-
men's colleges with pass-fail
include Bennington, Mount Hol-
yoke, Goucher, and Randolph-
Macon.

Cal Tech

Cal Tech gives as its rea-
son for trying pass-fail the need
for an easier adjustment to a
special technical curriculum.
Freshmen take all their cour-
ses on a pass-fail basis and
dean of freshmen, Foster
Strong, says that the system
has reduced dropouts and en-
couraged students to study to
learn rather than only for gra-
des.

The faculty of the college of
Columbia University voted in
December to institute pass-fail.
Here students will be permitt-
ed to take the first course in
their major field on a pass-fail
basis. This is done in order to
"let them get a taste" of their
major, according to the asso-
ciate dean of student affairs at
Columbia, John W. Alexander.

Some colleges have gone be-
yond a pass-fail option once per
term. Florida Presbyterian
College participates in a Ford
Foundation project which al-
lows some students to choose
all their courses without gra-
des or credit requirements.
New College in Sarasota, Flo-
rida, grades all its students in
all their courses on the pass-
fail basis.

No Grades

Other colleges have a modi-
fied grading system different
from pass-fail through which
they hope to encourage student
motivation. Sarah Lawrence
College students receive a writ-
ten evaluation of a course's
work rather than a letter grade;
however, these evaluations are
translated into conventional
grades for permanent records.

At Reed College in Oregon
students only hear about gra-
des when they are called for a
conference because of slipping
marks . Conventional grades are
recorded for all students but
they do not see them until after
graduation.

No Plans lit re

When asked about the possi-
bility of reviving an optional
pass-fail system at Agnes Scott,
dean of the faculty C. Benton
Kline replied that pass-fail had
been discussed informally at
Fall Retreat, in Curriculum
Committee and in the new Edu-
cational Environment Study
Committee. However, there are
no plans to institute it here.

Mr. Kline noted that there
seem to be two reasons for
pass-fail: one is to de-empha-
size grades as a whole and the
other is to allow within the con-
ventional system students to
experiment outside their major
without being penalized.

He pointed out that grades
are not emphasized as much
at Agnes Scott as they are at
many other colleges. For ex-
ample, the requirements for

honor roll and merit list are
not published in the college
catalogue or the student hand-
book and the names of students
on the ineligible list are not
posted on any bulletin board.
And we have the privilege of
auditing here.

Student Interest

Until about five years ago,
Agnes Scott also had a rule
that no numerical grades were
to be given. However, due to a
student interest in what Mr.
Kline calls a "more accurate
feedback" this rule was chan-
ged.

Mr. Kline is interested in
the effect of pass-fail on class
morale in a situation where
some of the students in the
class are on pass-fail while
others are receiving conven-
tional grades. He also said
that a pass-fail system to be
worthwhile would have to be
used on a basis like summer
school work is done here now;
hours would be counted to-
ward graduation but the course
would have no effect on quality
points.

Swim Team
Wins First

Agnes Scott may not offer
a physical education major, but
its students are capable of
contending successfully in in-
tercollegiate competition.

Two weeks ago, a Scott swim-
ming team composed of four so-
phomores and three freshmen
won first place in the first an- .
nual Invitational Intercollegiate
Swimming and Diving Meet.
Sponsored by the Woman's Col-
lege of Georgia at Milledgeville',
the meet included participants
from four Georgia colleges,
Tift, Mercer, Woman's Col-
lege and Agnes Scott.

The Scott swimmers won se-
ven of eleven events. Swimming
manager Kathy Vansant com-
mented that "the girls from the
Woman's College couldn't be-
lieve we didn't have a P.E.
major. I think they all were
majoring in phys. ed." The
Woman's College placed se-
cond, Mercer third.

Individual statistics include
the following:

Sheril Phillips: 1st in 50 yd.
butterfly; 1st in 100 yd. indi-
vidual medley^ Lynn Carssow:
3rd in 50 yd. butterfly; 3rd

Co. of Bremen for which the Holland-America Line acts as general passenger agent. In-port activi-
ties are arranged to supplement courses taught aboard ship.

Belts 'In' For Spring '67,
Three-Piece Suits Popular

Designers have wisely chosen
many silhouettes for spring,
'67. Not one definite shape is
demanded for top fashion, so
everyone can choose the shape
she likes best and the one that
flatters her own figure and per-
sonality.

Belts are definitely "in" m
three big ways: up high under
the bosom, at the hip, and on
the waist. The high belt is on a
generally A-shaped dress with
close-fitting shoulders. The se-
cond type of belt pulls in a
cylinder dress at the hips. Now
don't let the waist belt fool you;
it's not a reversion to an old
standby.

A definite dress, the dirndle,
boasts the belted waist. A
dirndle skirt is slightly gather-
ed in front and loosely falls
from under the belt. Side slits
serve as pockets and are very
predominant in dresses and suit
skirts. Belts produce a high,
smooth fit, or a detailed fit.
Designers are leaning back to
the belt and by fall, somefashion
watchers feel the waist will no
longer be a wasteland.

Three-piece suits will be
sweeping through the Easter
parade and contrasting-color
blouses give them a fresh, in-
teresting note. Noteworthy, too,
are the short sleeves and a
slightly gathered skirt with slit
pockets, of course. One parti-
cularly popular suit hosts nar-
row, horizontal stripes set
widely apart.

The coat dress is a deceiv-
ing fashion that will make the
'67 scene, too. This dress again
has the short sleeves. The fit
starts high and opens into more
fullness than an A-line. Some
are with military influence, but
regardless, the coat dress will
march with honor in the Easter
parade.

Don't despair if belts are not
your craving, The ever-popular
shifts are still fashion-smart
and even have a few new shapes
and trims.

One new shape is the T-shirt
dress, a straight shift with short
sleeves. When held up by the
shoulders, the shape resembles
a boy's T-shirt.

Such eye-catchers as polka
dots and splash prints make the

tent dress a wild fashion to note.
Yet, believe it or not, the tent
dress can be .quite subtle in
black crepe or such. In the tent
dress, the innovation of cut-in
shoulders creates the unique
and new parasol dress. It still
fits close over the shoulders,
but from there, anything goes I
Even over the arms material
flows as an extra adventure.

Notice the sleeveless or
short sleeve shift has a knubby
texture of linen or hopsacking.
A scooped-out neck with con-
trast-color binding has given a
new look to shifts of lime with
blue or pink with green. Anot-
her shift with feminine thoughts
has a tucked bib-front and long
sleeves with lace trim. So you
can easily see the easy shifts,
T-shirt and tent dresses will
be a strong trio for the belts
to match.

The silhouettes of '67 mirror
your shape and personality as
never before. The versatility
of fashion has never before been
so vast.

CAROL COOK DISPLAYS A NEW LOOK for spring, the African
print shift. Motifs from the dark continent are quite big this
year.

Africa Influences
Spring Fashion

Our world is rapidly" snrink-
ing with transcontinental com-
munications and travel common
to so many. Its effect is seen
in many phases of life; but,
especially in the world of fas-
hion. And this year's destination
for fashion travel is Africa-the
"Dark Continent" that ironi-
cally produces the brightest
fashions.

Imagine yourself in a dark
African jungle, surrounded by
tropical flowers and dense f o- ,
liage. In the distance sounds
of jungle animals screaming
and roaring mingle with a steady
drum beat, beckoning the ima-
gination's eye to natives danc-
ing around a roaring fire. Your
safari members, each in their
own version of khaki hunting
suits, remind you of a television
series as they trample through
the unexplored regions.

This picture could well be a
back-drop for any fashion photo-
grapher in spring, '67. The
African safari look with epau-
letted shoulders, brass buttons,
on natural-colored khaki is THE
look.

An essential accessory for
the khaki or the gabardine shirt
and pants or culottes and jacket
is the safari hat, also in khaki
color.

Then the tropical flowers,
warpaints colors, and jungle
animals combined their color
and personality for another '67
fashion craze. These African
sights have brought new prints
in a burst of color and rage of
design.

The tropic, or flora, prints
have fresh colors and splashes
of more color. Especially pre-
dominant in the designs are out-
lines of African animals; yes,
such friends as the leopard, the
cheetah, the jungle cats, the
lion, the giraffe.

The influence for '67 is defi-
nitely Africa-wild, tropic, mys-
tic, new for youl Whether you
choose the adventure's role with
khaki costume or the adventu-
rous side of jungle color and
animal influence, Africa sets
the pace.

If you are feeling a bit of
dreary February in your soul,
imagine that it is spring in the
city and you are clad in the
freshest look in colors, soft
chocolate and white. This com-
bination goes anywhere during
the day, especially in the new
awning stripe. The wide hori-
zontal stripe is stunning when
it is cut unexpectedly in suit
form.

The citified look calls for cool
linen or cotton in any shade of
the creamy neutrals. For effect,
why not try a white trim to set
off newly-tanned skin, but stick
to demcure beige accessories.
The prefect thing to accent your
daytime outfit is natural fishnet
or patterned stockings. Sum-
mery fabrics are keyed to tex-
ture and the warm weather
greets such a variety was waf-
fle-weave cottons, hop- sacking
and cotton knits.

When the sun sets and the
bright lights flash, the cue is
to go wild. Mad swirls of color
and crazy zigzags create a fas-
hionable pandemonium as the
night life begins to throb. There
is no place for quiet littleprints
this spring. Black and white
emerge from sobriety in mad-
cap combinations and clear
bright colors run rampant. ( )nly
the sheerest cottons and chif-
fons dare to show themselves
and, naturally, stockings reflect
the colorful shimmer. It looks
like a hot summer in the fash-
ion world.

Accessories Play Big Part
In Any Fashion Picture

iwoL :

MARCH 2, 1967 Till- PROFILE

Fashion is so often misinter-
preted by many who feel a fas-
hionable blouse or new pair of
shoes make an entire ensemble
fashionable. However, unless
there i harmony in the com-
plete outfit, the fashion is not
there. Afterall, fashion is a
total look, the sum effect of
each basic garment and acces-
sory.

If one wears a mod dress
designed for day with silk
evening shoes, the harmony is
ruined. Each ensemble should
have a theme, if you will, that
is carried out in the basic
garment and in each accessory.
Therefore, accessories play an
important role in fashion's to-
tal look that is carried out from
head to toe.

A glance around our campus
reveals many popular acces-
sories (by this term, I mean
hats, earrings, gloves, hand-
bags, shoes) that are versatile
enough to go to the city, the
classroom, and on dates. But
some accessories are strictly
for one type of basic garment
and for the instances when this
garment is worn. Admittedly,
many accessories team with
various outfits for different to-
nes still in the same general
effect.

Some of the latest spring and
summer accessories are not
so different as the fall's. Of
course, they are in spring and
summer materials and colors,
but the basic shape and lines
are the same. Then there are
completely new designs, too.
Starting the head and going
to the toe, here are some of the
popular accessories for spring
and summer '67.

From the top, popular hats
for suits and dresses are those
big, easy-going, easy-to-wear
hats that give the wearer a
peek at the world. Too, flat
tarns and berets of silk shan-
tung are so flattering to many
spring fashions and to many
springy lassies. There are hats
for little linen dresses, mini-
shirts and sweaters, suits,
pants, and beachwear.

Such fetching names as Coo-
lie hats, Planter's hats, cow-
boy hats, and Panamas are a
few on the list. The latest style
for this season is the Panama
hat of natural straw with a
sash. All brims, all big, hats
let you wear your hair up un-
der them or behind your ear.
All versions of hats are silk or
straw, natural or colored.

Next comes the hair without
a hat. The two notes for hair
are long or short -either ex-
treme. Or have both with a
fall or hairpiece. Even hair
has its own accessories in bows,
sashes, and ties. Lots of chif-
fon is wrapped around the head
in a casual yet unfussy way.
But as always, the musts for
hair are shine and naturalness.

Another accessory note for
the season is the earrings.
Gold or bright-colored, ear-
rings come in sure shapes for
any and every moment. The
knobs or buttons and loops
neatly trim daytime fashions.
For parties the dangles hit the
spot. Casual parties of a fes-
tive, fun mood call for larger
loops of color and shapes with
geometric shapes posing the
biggest hit. Pierced ears have
put earrings in fashion in a big
way to be sure.

Now to the hands, gloves, in
short, are kid or string. Driv-
ing gloves, cut out in patterns
to keep you moving are the
snazzy way to go. For practi-
cality, short white kid gloves
are always sure to enhance
any ensemble.

On down the list, handbags
squeeze themselves into small
squares and odder shapes, easi-
ly hanging from a chain. Colo-
red patents and wooden bead
bags are raging; whether they
match the shoes or not is not
necessarily important.

Last but not least, shoes
often set a whole outfit into
context. Categories of shoes
with almost infinite members
could be listed. Back to the
day and night looks, the neu-
trals-black, brown, white, dry
ice, and navy-carry you down-
town. Then, night's color mi-
rage must have color from
head to toe. With the toes are
sling-back shoes in electric
colors of patent. The slings are
many strapped and often many-
colored. One-high heels and
rounded toes prevail in city
shoes, while slings often have
higher heels.

For sports and casual wear,
the new gucci shoe, which is
a loaf ter sporting a chain across
the toe, is right for you. The
"Mary Jane" flat is still on top
of many lists. Also, the laced
spectator in two-tone patent or
leather and Belgium linen in an-
other leader. Sandals of leather
of a combination of leather and
Belgium linen are right for
sports and shore.

Most shoes call for stockings
in color or neutral beige, which
overrates white. Stockings are

actually of four types: the fish-
net, the smooth opac stockings,
the lacy stockings and the line-
knit stickings. Many versions
and even combinations of these
four basic weaves will be on
the spring market. In one style,
the line knit with widely set
lines has a background of fish-
net. Another has lines in a V
shape so that the point of the
V thrusts down the middle of
the leg in front and back.

These versions are only a
few specific examples that show

stockings are being for spring-
summer, '67.

These accessories are a few
of the season's biggest hits.
Still, the most important thing
to remember is match the types
of accessories with the appro-
priate type of clothes for a full
fashion effect.

The stocking of knee-sock
length, to be worn with low
heels, is a new thing for this
year. These are usually a heavy
weave with an open design near
the top front.

'67' s Dressy Clothes
Two Distinct Types

In 1967 dressy clothes are actually of two types-the reser-
ved city-look for shopping, working, or travelling, and the late-
day-look of clear color. The party clothes and fun, faddy clo-
thes take another entirely different shape and pattern from
the day-look of the city. This spring and summer your ward-
robe will be versatile enough to fit your every mood and mo-
ment.

The words for the city are
jackets dresses or suits. The
fascination of these two is
culottes influence. A dress with
culottes, sometime hidden
among pleats or with a wrap-
around skirt effect, makes the
jacket dress the absolute la-
test. Culottes, rather than a
skirt, teemed with a double-
breasted jacket goes anywhere
a skirt can or cannot. The
shorter lengths of dresses cer-
tainly influenced the culotte en-
semble; yet, the culottes will be
more practical and much more
fun.

The essentials to accent this
style are matching or pastel
tights and low - heel or flat
shoes. (See the article on ac-
cessories.)

After the hot summer sun lea-
ves the sky, the silver moon
and shimmering stars set the
scene for a symmer party.
You can be there, as beauti-
ful as the soft summer night
with shimmering glimmering
lights, and be the fashion
story.

Color is the keynote-the
wildest, clearest, freshest co-
lors you can find. Night calls
up the clear, solid colors and
the big prints.

Airy chiffon or light-weight
cotton give a tent dress the
softness of a summer breeze.
Or silks and linens make the
scene in new drindl dresses
and shifts. The T-shirt dre-s,
small sleeves and straight, will
make the party scene in clear
colors with contrasting trim.
Sparkling silver hose and shoes
to match the contrast color
carry party fashion to the toes.

The look of pants in after-
five clothes is the silk of chif-
fon tunic dress or tent dress
with catching short pants. Be-
cause the length of dresses
is just above the knee, and there
is no sign of change up or
down, these pants are rather
like blummers with frills and
lace.

For a more informal par-
ty, designers have planned the
whimsical, fun clothes. Ani-
mal-print pajama suits and pa-
tio dresses can start any par-
ty swinging. The patio dres-
ses are actually floor length
culottes that loosely flow for
comfort and beauty.

Election Issue

As girls plan a spring
wardrobe of bright colors and
light fabrics, they may not rea-
lize that men, too, are concern-
ed about spring and summer
clothes.

This year as never before
men w ill be competing w ith wo-
rn en for first opportunities at
bright colors and interesting
weaves and prints.

Suits are always major con-
siderations for men and this
year men will have a wide se-
lection of colors and fabrics.
Patterned fabrics will predomi-
nate in subtle stripes and plaids.
Stripes will be either pin stri-
pes or chalk stripes with lighter
colors more frequently seen,
especially in black and white
combinations. Plaids may be in
bronze, tan, or gold tones or
for a bit more variety, black
and white plaids with a red over-
plaid or blue and gold with a rust
overplaid.

Sport coats appear in solid
colors and are made of dacron
and wool blend fabrics. A sug-
gestion for a light color is back-
bone yellow; brighter colors in-
clude master's green, stripper
blue, crusty bronze, and sea-
foam green. These solid-color-
ed coats are coordinated with fi-
gured, plaid or checked pants.

Sport coats will also be found
in houndstooth check, tattersall,
and plaid materials for the more
adventurous.

Bright is the key word es-
pecially for casual trousers and
bermudas. The tattersall check
with a white or off-white back-
ground will be popular here. Ca-
sual shirts are seen in knits
with conventional, mock-turtle-
neck, or turtleneck dollars.
Cotton shirts will be plaids
and wide-track stripes to be
worn with the new figured ties
and plaid pants.

Pass-Fail Passes Faculty;
Five-Day Week Studied

Three proposals dealing with three diverse facets of Agnes Scott College were passed by the
faculty at the last meeting winter quarter.

The first is the institution of courses for credit on a pass-fail basis. Recommended by the
education committee, this proposal was adopted for a two year trial period, beginning in the
fall of the 1967-68 session.

LONDON GRAFICA ARTS EXHIBIT!^,,
one day last week, drew many visitors.

The pass-fail option will be
open to juniors and seniors and
must not be in the student's
major field or in her related
hours credit.

A maximum total of ten hours
of pass-fail credit may be elect-
ed in the two years; the ten
hours may be taken at any time
and may include any combina-
tion of hour s.

Professor
Sings Here

Robert J. Fusillo, who for a
year had a weekly radio pro-
gram for the British Broad-
casting Company, will give a
concert of folk songs at Agnes
Scott on April 6 at 8:15 p.m. in
Maclean Auditorium.

The folk singer is also a
professor at Oglethorpe Uni-
versity and received his Ph.D.
at the Shakespearean Institute
in Stratford-on-Avon. Besides
his BBC program, he has also
sung on CBS-TV.

In his concert at Scott, the
program will include a variety
of folk songs with some Eliza-
bethan ballads included.

Student body elections will begin Monday at chapel time and
continue throughout the week.

This year, for the first time, a type of preferential ballot
will be used to help speed up the election procedure.

This ballot will be used only
when only one person is to be
elected and more than two are
nominated. The voter will mark
her preference by arranging the
candidates in the order in which
she wishes to select them.

In this way, a voter can in-
dicate her second choice if her
first choice is eliminated, and
the necessity of a runoff vote
is avoided.

Zolly Zollicoffer is the only
candidate for president of stu-
dent government. Gue Pardue
and Allyn Smoak are candidates
for judicial chairman.

Sally Elberfeld and Marcia
King are running for president
of Chrisitan Association; Kat
Mitchell and Kathy Stafford for
president of Athletic Associa-
tion.

Candidates for Social Council
presidents are Ethel Ware Gil-
bert, Lucy Hamilton, and Elaine
Harper.

At press time there was no

candidate for editor of the PRO-
FILE, the next office in the or-
der of elections.

Betty Derrick and Susan Phi-
lips are running for student
government vice - president.
Nina Gregg, Tunia Corbitt, and
Susan Philips are candidates
for chairman of house presi-
dents' council.

Candidates for N.S.A. coor-
dinator, are Cheryl Bruce and
Marsha Williams.

Most candidates for these of-
fices have outlined their plans
and qualifications in the ar-
ticles in the election portion
of this issue which begins on
page 4.

An innovation for elections
this year is the entertainment
scheduled while votes are being
counted. The program will fea-
ture such well-known acts as
Jane McCurdy's animal and in-
sect imitations and will pro-
bably include the famous big
mouth contest.

The student may not elect a
course for which she has not
fulfilled the prerequisite, nor
may an absolute or group re-
quirement be taken on a pass-
fail basis.

Letter grades will be given
on all the work of the course,
but grade slips and permanent
record will show only pass or
faU.

The final condition is that a
student may not decide to take
a course for a grade after she
has elected it for pass-fail
credit*

Pass-fail systems have been
widely adopted in the last two
years. They began sweeping
big name schools last year and
have gone into effect in many
institutions. Most allow a stu-
dent to elect one pass-fail
course outside his major as
one of the five subjects usually
taken in a semester.

The second recommendation
adopted by the faculty also came
from the education committee.
An intensive study will be be-
gun in the fall to consider ser-
iously the possibility of doing
away with Saturday classes, in
order to relieve some of the
pressure on both faculty and
students.

The final proposal involves
the technicalities of the classi-
fication of students. Effective
for the class of 1971, a sopho-
more must have completed 36
quarter hours of credit, with a
minimum of 18 of grade C or

above, with a quality point ratio
of 0.5.

Juniors will be required a
ratio of .75, 84 hours of credit,
and 18 hours of C.

To be a senior, a student
must have completed 132 hours,
with 24 hours of C, and a point
ratio of .91.

Symposium SpeakerSanders
Defines American City

Black Describes Poverty Problem

The Symposium on*he City opened Tuesday evening, March 28, with a "Profile of the American
City ' given by former Georgia Governor Carl E. Sanders. He discussed the major characteris-
tics of a city, its relationship with state government, and used Atlanta as a particular example.

In defining 'Vhat is a city?", Sanders pointed out that it is a symbol of the "best and worst
of society." Whereas the growth of the city brings out much good in society, it also involves the
growth of crime, etc.

The American city, however,
according to Sanders, is dis-
appearing and is being eaten up
by metropolitan complexes. We
are rapidly becoming a "su-
burban society." In Georgia
60 per cent of the people live
in urban areas (over 25,000
in population), and 50 per cent
of the people live in metropoli-
tan areas.

Sanders pointed out the need
for better organization and co-
operation between the govern-
ments of the municipalities
comprising a metropolitan
area. In the Atlanta area (five
counties), there are 40 or 50
governmental units.

In the area of state govern-
ment the greatest needs for aid-
ing cities comes in two areas:
rapid transit and recreation
areas. These needs are being
studied and acted upon in Geor-
gia and Atlanta.

The former governor enume-
rated four steps in helping cit-
ies in their rapid growth. The
first is a detailed study of the
economic base of the communi-
ty. Secondly, a recasting of the
urban renewal programs is es-
sential to maintain any harmony
in an urban area. As exam-
ples of good uses of urban re-
newal and consideration of the
people, he pointed out the area

around the Atlanta Stadium and
the downtown highway connec-
tor.

The third essential step is
an examination of governmen-
tal services and functions in the
metropolitan area. The many
governing units in the area need
to be streamlined and coopera-
tion between them is neces-
sary. The Metropolitan Coun-
cil of Local Governments which
is now functioning in the five-
county metropolitan Atlanta
area is a good start on the pro-
ject.

What qualifications must the
members of the Board of Trus-
tees possess? How are they cho-
sen? How does Agnes Scott Col-
lege relate to the Presbyterian
Church?

The Board of Trustees con-
sists of not more than 32 mem-
bers. At least three-fourths
must be members of the Pres-
byterian Church in the United
States, and all must be "mem-
bers of some evangelical church
and sympathetic with the prin-
ciples of the Christian reli-
gion," states the charter of
Agnes Scott College.

"Not more than 19 of the total
number of 32 Trustees shall be
designated as torpor ate Trus-
tee* and shall be chosen and
elected by the Board in office
as and when vacancies occur in
said designated class,** stipul-
tes the charter.

Eleven of the trustees are
classified as synodical. Four
are chosen from within the
boundaries of the Synod of Geor-
gia. A synod is a governing body
of the Presbyterian Church.

Four more trustees are chos-
en from the bounds of the Synod
of Alabama and three from the
Synod of Florida. The persons
chosen for election by the Board
of Trustees must be ratified or

approved by the synod in which
they live before they can be
duly elected.

The two remaining trustees
are designated alumnae trus-
tees. They must be chosen by
the Board from "the duly ac-
credited membership of the Ge-
neral Alumnae Association of
Agnes Scott College, and their
names submitted to said As-
sociation for ratification or
confirmation, their election to
become effective only when and
after they shall have been ra-
tified or confirmed by the said
Association at a regular annual
meeting thereof.

"Should the Association de-
cline, neglect or fail to ratify
or confirm any such nomina-
tion, the same manner of pro-
cedure prescribed herein as to
the choice and confirmation of
*Synodical Trustees" shall
thereafter be followed," states
the charter.

Wallace M.Alston, president,
says that one of the alumnae
trustees is always the retiring
president of the Alumnae Asso-
ciation. She serves two years as
president of the Alumnae As-
sociation and two years on the
Board of Trustees.

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are

Orientation ?

At a recent committee meeting someone
mentioned that orientation teaches freshmen
how to live at college, how to be good citi-
zens. The PROFILE has been thinking about
that and decided that citizenship is not the
only reason one comes to college; it is pro-
bably not even a very good one. Nor are rush
parties, friendly groups at meals, or strange
picnics. The point is that orientation as it has
operated for years is set up along lines al-
most purely social. The ' 'intellectual orien-
tation" is one book, supposedly read, then
discussed by faculty and in hall groups 0
That hardly seems enough introduction to
the nitty-gritty of college life --study and hard
work. Freshmen play the first week or so;
everyone does. Then the upperclassmen dis-
appear and freshmen often keep on playing,
wondering where the upperclassmen are. Then,
mid-quarter, when the honor roll is publish-
ed, perhaps, they learn that the upperclass-
men have been in the library, or campbell,
or the smoker-studying constantly.

We are not suggesting a destruction of any
social aspect of orientation as it now stands;
social reasons affect many people's choice
of Agnes Scott, and freshmen need to meet
people at the beginning of the year. We do
not want to cut out any fun. We do want more
emphasis on the academic side, which should
be the prime concern in the mind of every
student.

It is entirely possible that orientation will
need to be redone completely; we feel that the
whole approach must be re-evaluated and chan-
ged.

Perhaps the entire student body needs this
sort of orientation. Ideally, it would include
not just the essentials of how to study and what
to expect in a certain course, but fir st thoughts,
at the beginning of the college career, of what
the whole thing is all about. All students need
to consider, , freshmen probably need to be
prodded more-- 1 'education," not in terms of
the courses breezed through by your friend
who is majoring in it at the state university,
but in terms of why you came to college and
how you hope to leave.

Maybe the student body as a whole needs
to think about it, but in the first few days of
college for the freshmen it is almost essen-
tial. The Scott orientation program has work-
ed pretty well; it succeeds excellently in the
social realm. But academics are increasing-
ly neglected. The one thing academic, a talk
from the dean of the faculty on how to study,
is pushed later and later each year until
it is really too late.

We suggest a complete re-evaluation of
orientation, with perfect willingness to re-
tain nothing simply because it has been done
that way for eons, and with a definite intent
to orient the freshmen at the first to what
they will be facing later.

The first week in any quarter, especially
spring quarter, especially spring quarter
one's senior year, should be relatively peace-
ful, moderately relaxed, free from the usual
nervous-breakdown-every-three-days pace
of good old Agnes Scott life.

Not so. Imagine my thrill to return to
campus after an extremely restful spring
vacation during which I had my wisdom teeth
removed to the exciting task of publishing
that great tradition THE PROFILE ELEC-
TION ISSUE.

Don't take my sarcasm too seriously. I
love my job as editor, but I do resent un-
necessary pressure added to the job, as in
this case. And many others felt the pres-
sure.

The basic problem is that elections were
pushed up this year from what they have been
in the past. This left major candidates with
the problem of writing an article for this
issue by noon of the first day of the quarter,
and saddled the staff with the near impossible
job of putting out a regular PROFILE plus
election coverage in a mere four days, half
our usual time.

I hope that future Rep Councils will heed
my advice: Never, never, never again have
elections the second week of the quarter. The
advantages, and I can think of none, come no
where near the hardships involved in such a
schedule.

My second complaint is more personal. I

think the election issue is pretty much a
waste of time, effort, and newsprint anyway.
In the past it served a great service to ac-
quaint students with the candidates, whowere
allowed to air their ideas and plans.

However, we now ha\e election speeches
from the candidates for the major offices,
and the articles can differ very little from
the speeches. Plans are plans.

This leaves the secondary offices the can-
didates for which write articles but do not
make speeches. OK, sjo the paper helps
them; but, with no offense to any such can-
didate, how much can you say about some of
these offices: Some of those candidates ask-
ed me that very thing this week.

For that matter, and I say this also with
malice toward none, what can you learn from
most of these articles anyway? I'm not com-
plaining; it's the nature of the beast. I know.
I wrote one. And I don't think they accom-
plish that much. Ask anyone who's ever writ-
ten one. Or read a few.

As for exposing the campus to the candi-
dates, you can read the Mailroom bulletin
board.

In short, I advocate the abolishment of the
tradition (short-lived though it be) of the
election issue. I tried to do away with it this
year, but Rep Council insisted it is a Good
Thing. Therefore, I am seeking more grass
roots support. Think it over.

Owen Receives Surprise
From U.S. Supreme Court

by Susan Aikrrian

Most Agnes Scott students complain about their chronic lack of mail at 9, 2, and 4. Imagine the
surprise of one such person who went to her mailbox and pulled out a letter from the United States
Supreme Court.

No, she wasn't being sued in any big court case; she wasn't being subpoenaed as a witness; and
she wasn't being appointed to replace retiring Justice Tom Clark. She was actually receiving a
thank-you note from Justice Hugo L. Black.

It all started at the beginning
of winter quarter when Mary K.
Owen chose the labor cases in-
volving the Justice for her re-
search paper for American
Constitutional Development. In
the process of digging through
the material in the library, she
discovered that Justice Black
would celebrate his 81st birth-
day in February and that the
class would be meeting on that
eventful day.

Being one of the typical Scot-
ties who enjoys birthday parties
for all occasions, she decided
that a celebration was definite-
ly in order. Dr. Cornelius
agreed, and the party was on.

One major problem arose
when the lady at the bakery
couldn't quite understand that
Mary K. really did want her to
write "Happy Birthday, Hugo"
on the cake decorated in yel-
low. She also had trouble de-
termining whether Hugo was one
word or two.

Another point of confusion
came when Mary K. stopped en
route to the festivities to show
the cake to a friend who said,
"Hugo Cornelius?" These min-
or obstacles were overcome,

however, and the
off on schedule.

party came

Trustees

CONTINUED FROM PAGE I

The other alumnae Board
member, according to Dr. Al-
ston, may be reelected, and at
this time that person is Ka-
therine Marshall LeSeur. These
are not the only alumnae who
are members of the Board of
Trustees.

The corporate and synodical
trustees serve four year terms.

The political science class
during the course of the party
decided democratically that
Mary K. should definitely write
Justice Black to inform him
about his party. Dr. Cornelius
made it an assignment for her,
so she complied and told the
Alaharna Justice that the class
had celebrated "complete with
cake" and had wished him
many more happy years on the
court.

So when Mary K. Owen open-
ed her mail box and found a
United States Supreme Court
envelope, she was not afraid of
the contents. As a matter of
fact, she saw Mr. Cornelius
(Bill, not Hugo) right there in
the mailroom and told him. He
spread the exciting news to all
the members of the class that
he ran into that day.

The moral of the story has to
be that something beside grades
do come from the research
papers assigned at Agnes Scott,
but who would have believed it
would be mail in the old empty
mailbox?

Voting Poll
To Be Taken

NSA and the Conservative
Club are sponsoring a survey
to determine the percentage
of potentially eligible voters
at Agnes Scott who have re-
gistered to vote. The survey
will also determine how many
of these registered voters have
exercised their voting privi-
lege.

Questionnaires will be plac-
ed in mail boxes sometime this
quarter.

DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS IS? The answer is around here
somewhere.

FreshmenDisouss Value Of Orientation

Inasmuch as freshmen for
next year are now being accep-
ted and the students who will
be concerned with helping them
into life at Agnes Scott are
being elected, the PROFILE is
undertaking an evaluative study
of the orientation program this
year in its specifics and the
annual approach to orientation.
A number of freshmen were
interviewed and asked speci-
fically about intellectual orien-
tation, which consists usually
of reading a book which is dis-
cussed by a faculty panel and
then in hall discussions led by
an upperclassmen.

Freshman Chris Pence said,
"Orientation just didn't stress
the academics. I had no idea
how hard this place was going
to be. After the first few days
I couldn't figure out where the
upperclassmen had disappear-
ed to. It didn't hit me until the
first test how important outside
work is."

Too Late

One student asked replied,
"Academics didn't hit me un-
til the middle of the quarter,
but by then it was too late.
I finally got into the swing of
studying by second quarter. It
seems significant to me that
most of the gripes about orien-
tation revolve around the social
side of things, instead of the
academic area where the pro-
per emphasis should be.

"All we were told about in
the first two weeks were Geor-
gia Tech, rush, dating rules
and the picnic. It's no wonder
that no thought was given to
studying and the good old li-
brary until late, late in the
quarter."

Several students had con-
structive comments about what
can be done to improve orien-
tation to the academics. Chris
Pence suggested, "Maybe even
during the summer in some of
those letters we get they could
tell us what a good idea it is
to bring old notes and basic
texts with us."

Grading System

"I wish they could have ex-
plained the grading system to
us, what the merit list is, etc.,"
says Shelby Dodds. "I thought
it was peculiar that the biggest
class-wise orientation was in
P.E. Orientation can only do
so much anyway. We have to
learn. They could have expan-
ded the library program pos-
sibly and should have gotten
that paper on when the build-
ings open and close, etc. out
sooner."

According to Bev Lee,
"Orientation was unbalanced
and there was not enough em-
phasis on academics. There
are too many sides to college
life to be presented equally,
but we should have been warn-
ed about how much tests count,
for example. There are so few,
and so much depends on them,
unlike high school."

Break

Tests concerned Betty Lou
Winey also. "We should have
been told that there are ways
to give yourself a break and
ease your schedule when you
find you have three tests and
a paper due the same day. For
example, there is some condi-
tion about not having three or
more tests on the same day.
Library

"We should have been gi-
ven a more practical intro-
duction to the library, before
we were assigned the English
research paper. I had two
papers before that, yet the
use of magazines and the films
were not explained until the

English paper came along."

Another freshman response
was, "The only thing I would
really like to see changed is to
have more stress placed on the
academic side of school. The
fraternities are played up too
much and other activities such
as the church denominational
days suffer."

One of the most specific sug-
gestions camefrom Anne Wash-
ington, who said, "I think we
should have some sort of con-
ferences, maybe in the form
of firesides, with seniors in
each of the majors so that they
could explain what they are
doing, what they are planning
to do after graduation and ge-
nerally just what the major in-
volves. I know a lot of fresh-
men haven't decided on a ma-
jor and this would give them
a chance to find out more about
the fields they might be in-
terested in.

Long Run

"This would give the fresh-
man some idea of what lies
ahead, so that they know a
little better what they are work-
ing for in the long run and
could plan ahead. We bog down
so easily when all we have is
the mass of general courses,
and we get involved in the other
aspects of life at Scott.

"I think some explanation
of what the courses we take
freshman year are supposed to
accomplish would be helpful as
far as acadmic orientation goes
too. For example, the English
courses are not dealing with
meaning as much as they are
form, and the mechanics of
building a story, and it was
hard to get used to looking at
English from that angle. We
should also be told about the
principle of cutting and how
important it is not to waste
cuts and what it does to our
grades.

A number of students com-
plained that they did not rea-
lize how much studying would
be required.

Says Diane Wynne, "I really
didn't have to work very hard in
high school so I didn't know
what to expect academically
when I came here."

Last Year

A sophomore recalled last
year's program in compari-
son with the one the freshmen
received this fall, "The fresh-
men this year didn't have the
proper study attitude orien-
tation could have stressed this
more, because someone needs
to. We had an academic panel
that spoke to us last year and
literally put 'the fear of God'
into us about studying here.
"They just laid it on the line-
study or else get out. This
helped us start off right from
the very beginning. I think this
year's freshmen class could
use this."

Mary Little spoke about this
year's intellectual orientation
the book reading and discus-
sion specif icially," i don't see
any point in reading the book.
I thought we would spend a lot
of time on it and that it was
really important, but then the
discussion wasn't even requir-
ed."

A few freshmen interviewed
saw no need for a major change
in the present orientation.

Says Vicky Haggard, "I think
orientation should be as socially
inclined as it was this year for
"poor, scared freshmen" who
don't have a lot of chances later
on to meet boys. After all, so-
cial life contributes to our edu-
cation, too. But I agree that we
ought to have a study orienta-
tion so that freshmen will be
more prepared for what's com-
ing and maybe will start off
working harder."

New Friends

Mary Lou Romaine agreed,
"I don't think any of the social
activities should be cut out, ex-
cept that ridiculous freshman
picnic. At the beginning of
school people aren't ready to
settle down; they need to meet
new friends, both boys and girls
and get situated in the Agnes
Scott community. It's not a bad
idea, however, to have an intro-
duction to the academic part of
Scott."

Also supporting the social
side was Hariette Huff, "The
first of school is the only time
most girls get to meet boys.
If only a few social activities
are planned lots of girls will
be left out. But having talks on
academic responsibilities is al-
so good. These could be given
by upperclassmen who would
speak from our point of view."

There were other comments
on various specifics of the first
few days of school.

"I think the faculty reception
was just a silly formality. It's
stupid to stand in a long line
to shake hands with somebody
you don't know, and you don't
even get to talk to them. For
the first two weeks, I thought
Dr. Alston's name was Dr.
Wallace."

On the other hand, Diane
Wynne suggested, "It would be
nice if we could have met the
faculty as a group sooner, but
we probably would have been
scared to talk to them."

Comparison

Asked to evaluate orientation,
an anonymous freshman said, "I
thought it was good compared
to other schools. I liked the pic-
nic because I liked the boy I
met. The rush teas were bad,
but necessary, I guess. At the
first frat parties, you learned
to ditch a bad date if you didn't
already know how to. Orienta-
tion DID NOT prepare me for
studying, but it did give me 'the
college atmosphere'. The
upperclassmen were friendly,

unlike those at other schools,
and they really helped out and
were kind."

Some general comments on
the junior sponsor program fol-
low:

Anonymous: "After the first
few weeks, if you ever had a
junior sponsor and sophomore
helpers you don't know it. They
don't even speak to you the rest
of the year."

Betsy Brewer: "The junior
sponsors were very effective.
They really made the first few
weeks easier. Even though those
first weeks were hectic, I felt
like I learned a lot about Scott."

Valerie Pearsall: "They
don't spend enough time telling
you things you need to know
like rules.

Donna Hailey: During orien-
tation the junior sponsors baby
you. You get to be real depen-
dent about little things, like
going to meals. They came
around reminding you about
everything."

Mary Little: They scare you
to death with all the rules. You
can't really just memorize
them; you have to learn them
as you go along."

Anonymous: "The junior
sponsors and sophomore hel-
pers aid in the association with
upper classmen, but they could
also help in the stress on aca-
demics.

Ann Mizell: At first they keep
you running all over the place
and then one day there's no-
thing to do. So you just sit there,
because nobody is there to tell
you where to go and what to
do."

A sophomore recalled the
letters she received the sum-
mer before her freshman year:
"Last year, when I began re-
ceiving all those letters, I was
quite surprised. I didn't ex-
pect it, and it added a per-
sonal touch. It gave you a good
idea that they cared. You had
a place before you got here.
Associating with upperclass-
men is good. The orientation
groups help the freshmen meet
other freshmen at first when
everyone and everything seems
so strange.

Said a freshman, "The let-
ters in the summer made us
feel better about coming and
helped to keep us from being
scared but didn't really inform
us that much. We need to know
the background of all they're
telling us."

A number of students spoke
out against the picnic, said one,
"The picnic was ghastly
there's something about the
practice of putting an equal
number of boys and girls in a
room to pair off with each
other that seems medieval. And
I'm sure that if there had been
a prize for the greatest collec-
tion of ugly boys in one area,
my group would have won hands
down. And I got stuck with this
creature that I couldn't ditch
all evening, so my whole night
was ruined. Rush was a little
bit better, but not much. I
learned a lot about fraternities
in a hurry - but most of it I
would rather not know anyway.

Lizards

"Well, I learned everything
you're not supposed to do, and
nothing that you're supposed
to do. It just wasn't that help-
ful. I was oriented into confu-
sion and got to do a little bit
of everything except study. The
handbook classes stressed two
things: Chastity and Abstinence,
and said nothing on all the other
things. Oh yes, there's nothing
like going to a picnic your first
weekend and meeting lizards
when you expect boys.

"They prepared me to bring
my laundry bag, sewing kit and
sheets, but didn't tell what kind
of clothes I would need. The
booklet that I received stress-
ed more formal clothes, not
everyday clothes and lounging
rags.

About that picnic again - I
wish it would have moreupper-
classmen-those rats just won't
do. As for Rush, I frankly didn't
go to meet freshmen, but their
upperclass brothers - some-
how I lost out. And those blind
dates I had with pledges-some-
how that sexy voice on the phone
turned out to have grease on his
face, long hair, mod clothes and
a bottle in his back pocket. It
was bad, I tell you, Quite bad."

There can be no realistic reference to Student Government at
Agnes Scott without implying at the same time the students and
the College itself. However, there must be a joint effort made
between those directly active in Student Government and the stu-
dents at large, if we are to have effective ideas, plans, and goals.
A student elected to work within Student Government must be
open to opinions and suggestions of her fellow students and be
willing to be a follower as well as a leader if Student Govern-
ment is to be an effective voice on the campus.

However, there needs to be a certain amount of initiative
taken within Student Government as well as a following through
with those feasible ideas and plans presented by previous Stu-
dent Governments.

This year Student dovernment has made a definite and positive
rechanneling of its emphasis to academics and Education. It is
within this realm that I would like to see our primary concern
remain. The Education Committee has good potential for be-
coming a strong, influential area of Rep Council, of Student Gov-
ernment, and of the College in its evaluation of the academic
concerns and standards of the school and the students.

The possibility exists that the Education Committee can be
structured as a channel for the Curriculum Committee and the
Co-Curricular Committee. The Exchange Committee, too, could
work with these committees and enter into some joint projects
as part of exchange activities, which would be held on a larger
scale than at present.

The Freshman Intellectual Orientation program is an im-
portant facet of the educational concerns, yet it is not as effec-
tive as it should be. This program must be extended to work in
a broader context other than the fall book discussion, if we are
to orient the incoming classes academically as extensively as
we do socially. A study of the Intellectual Orientation program
should be made with the primary concern being to meet the
academic orientation needs of the Freshmen. However, this
program should also be geared to re-orient the returning class-
es to a new academic year.

So often we seem to forget that learning can be exciting- not
only in the strict academic sense but also in out-of-class dis-
cussions and informal seminars. The lack of enough time to
participate and the increased pressure felt among students are
problems which must be studied carefully both on an individual
and group basis.

While the emphasis on Education will be underlined, the needs
of the students in other areas cnnot be ignored and, I think,
must be met if Agnes Scott is to maintain its high ranking and
standards. This includes a strong, honest reevaluation of var-
ious rules, policies, and procedures as well as of the Honor
System- both by Judicial and Rep Council.

Such an evaluation is made yearly and yet the core of the prob-
lem remains. It is toward this point that our evaluation should
continue with the hope that we constructively handle the problem.
It is obvious that there is an undercurrent of discontent and
tension within the student body which must be dealt with if -the
College is to preserve its open atmosphere.

Communication between Student Government and the student
body has always been a problem and will continue to be one.
However, we can take more advantage of our present channels
and at the same time begin to establish newer, and hopefully,
more effective ones. With the extra aid of the Administrative
Secretary in Student Government, the secretaries of various or-
ganizations will have more time to spend working in this area.

Also, if students knew that their concerns were also the con-
cerns of Student Government and that their opinions would be
expressed in Rep Council, I feel that this could lead to opening
channels of awareness and interest.

Within Student Government, the problem of communication
would involve a questioning and evaluation of the structure
and size of Rep Council including a close study of the effec-
tiveness of representation of students. The problem of com-
munication can only be handled with the support of the student
body and that of Student Government; necessity demands that it
be a two-way proposition.

Concerning the various associations to which the Student
Government belongs such as NSA, SIASG, and Intercollegiate, I
would like to see an increase ofnon- Rep Council -member par-
ticipation along with more awareness of the advantages these
organizations offer within Student Government.

This year Intercollegiate has reorganized itself and within a
short time hopefully will establish some joint projects among
the colleges within the Atlanta area. This could present an in-
valuable opportunity for Agnes Scott students to work off cam-
pus within the community with other students.

The concerns of Student Government can be perpetual and
oftentimes one year will pick up where the previous left oft.
Student Government involves a process of evolving ideas within
the continuing purpose to better that which we have. The areas
which I consider important, or any other areas considered im-
portant, by any other student, can be worked with effectively
only if we have student support. Whoever you elect I am sure
will welcome your suggestions and criticism. And if I am elected
I will try to represent you responsibly and with integrity.

Judicial Chairman

Pardue Examines
Punitive System

The role of Agnes Scott's
Student Government has always
been one of communication be-
tween the students and admin-
istration. This function of stu-
dent government is one that is
needed and should be continued
but there are many other roles
which should be developed but
haven't been. Our student gov-
ernment has not taken an iden-
tity of its own, it is neither
liberal nor conservative it
is simply there. Our student
government has not become in-
volved in many of the important
issues which are facing higher
education. We have become
lodged in a structure that is
carrying us around in circles.

One of the few breaks in this
circle was the recent discus-
sion of the Faculty Hiring Poli-
cy by Representative Council.
The action taken as a result
of this discussion whether we
agree or disagree with it was
at least an expression of con-
cern by students of something
beyond the immediate. The
place where we must begin to
liberate ourselves and Student
Government is in the Honor
System where we need a
more flexible and realistic ap-
proach.

The Honor System, the rules
and the penalties which are the
functions of Judicial Council
need a serious evaluation. The
Honor System works very well

Gue Pardue

in the academic realm and there
must be a reason why it falls
down in the social realm, in
drawing a comparison I can
see some reasons for this dif-
ference, (1) the academic sys-
tem is not cluttered with spe-
cific rules, it is more of a
concept similar to our present
drinking policy. (2) the acade-
mic system is considered ser-
iously because most people
agree it is the primary purpose
for being here. (3) the concept
expressed by our academic reg-
ulations are accepted by every-
one at Agnes Scott as a reason-
able standard.

We can use these principles
in trying to guide certain stan-
dards for our social regula-
tions. I think the college has
the right to ask and to get from

Smoak Demands
Critical Attitude

Allyn Smoak

Judicial Council plays a vital
role in the functioning of cam-
campus activities. As indicat-
ed by its reason for being, it
is more personal and individual
in nature than any of the other
boards. It is composed of some
twenty- four students who rep-
resent the different living areas
of the campus, but more impor-
tant than that, they represent
at least twenty-four different
opinions and ideas.

In an organization that deals
with honor relative to a com-
munity as well as honor rela-
tive to individuals, there is no
place for stifling traditions. An
atmosphere of questioning and
criticism must continue to per-
vade the Judicial Council. The
Board must keep its eyes open
to students' frustration; it must
be sensitive to the needs and
problems of the campus com-
munity and flexible enough to
meet the individuality that char-
acterizes each problem that
arises.

The individual Board member
must make an effort to affect a

closer relationship with the Stu-
dent Body. She must be able to
sense the problems of the peo-
ple on her hall, of her friends,
of the other students in her
classes. She cannot be isolated
from the Student Body. The
Board should attempt to reach
all students by discussions and
re-evaluations of the present
policies.

In return, the Student Body
should exert its influence in de-
termining Judicial Council ac-
tion. Judicial Council exists
for the Student Body, and it can-
not be effective without the Stu-
dent Body's co-operation and
support. The Student Body can
play an important part in student
government if sometimes its
members would forget their
apathy and indifference.

Questioning and criticism are
not limited to Judicial mem-
bers. Often discussion that
takes place during a Board
meeting is originated from
points or remarks made by
non-Judicial people. More peo-
ple should be made to realize
that Judicial meetings are us-
ually open to the Student Body,
and that they may come to par-
ticipate in the discussions.

The Honor System is not just
a set of rules under which a
person lives during her four
years on the Agnes Scott cam-
pus; it is an attempt to build
people who are honorable
throughout their lives. Judicial
Council has demonstrated this
year that it is willing to give
the individual more responsi-

Derrick
Seeks VP
Position

Because the office of Vice
President of the student body
is a newly established office, it
is not hampered by the tradi-
tional duties and responsi-
bilities which may tend to re-
strict the actions of other po-
sitions. The Vice President is
free to use her own resources
to create a position which can
utilize the ingenuity and ima-
gination of its holder.

This office can and should
remain this type of position.
The number of specially de-
legated responsibilities of the
Vice President should remain at
a minimum. In this way the vice
presidency can become a vital
office stimulating various
phases of student government
by ideas from a person whose
office enables her to retain an
over-all perspective of stu-
dent government activities
while freeing her from deep
involvement in any particular
one.

However, this unique aspect
of the office must be activat-
ed with a concern for the di-
rection of student government
or the creativity of the office
will be wasted. The freedom of
the vice presidency must not be-
come license to operate with no
purpose. The President and
Vice President's work should
be closely associated. There
are decisions which one person
may feel are too far-reaching
to be made alone.

While ultimate responsibi-
lity must always rest with the
Student Body President, the
Vice President in order that
they may be consolidated be-
.fore reaching a larger group
such as Rep. Council. Pro-
posals offered to Rep. Coun-
cil can never be considered in
a final form but the President
and Vice President can work
together to present Rep. Coun-
cil with concrete ideas on which
to build.

Betty Derrick

I would like to see RepCoun-
cil become less of a legisla-
tive-oriented body and more of
a forum for student opinion.
Too often student ideas are con-
centrated in small groups and
never find expression in an
atmosphere where action can
be taken. This condition tends
to stifle student aims and to
create a feeling of frustration
among students who feel their
ideas can count for little. Such
a feeling defeats the purpose
of student government in a col-
lege such as this one. With the
freedom inherent in the of-
fice of Vice President this of-
fice can become a strengthen-
ing tie between the students and
those who represent them.

In the past year great gains
have been made in re-evaluation

promise for the student body
of Agnes Scott. The "shape
of things" is looking good. Con-
tinued progress, however, is
dependent on the students. Ef-
fective leadership and a re-
sponsive campus community
will be the main tools in im-
plementing and making a suc-
cess of new policies and changes
in the old. The individual must
be an active part of the whole.

The office of Vice President
of Representative Council is one
to be considered with careful at-
tention and to be filled respon-
sibly. The vice president is a
vital link between the student
government council and the stu-
dent body. She must be enthu-
siastic and creative as well as
dedicated to her job.

A great deal of the effective-
ness of the committee work de-
pends upon the guidance and or-
ganization that are the stated
responsibilities of this officer.

Influential in her role as co-
ordinator of the Rep council
committees, the vice president
has much to do with the smooth
functioning of Rep council pro-
jects. Having been a Rep coun-
cil member and committee
chairman this year 1 understand
the work involved and recog-
nize the committees as a very

The purpose of college life
is growth to maturity, mental,
social, spiritual. To be most
beneficial for the individual this
growth should involve signi-
ficant and real challenges to
one's accepted ideas, honest
evaluation of old beliefs in new
perspectives, and considered
changes if found necessary.

The challenges and changes
of this growth should be met
without fear and with consi-
derable thought. The fine line
between openness and weakness
should be drawn but must it-
self be constantly questioned
and evaluated. This growth
should involve the student in all
aspects of his life both pri-
vate and social.

Christian Association, I be-
lieve, has the responsibility
to initate and encourage this
type of growth in the student.
Its work will be primarily con-
cerned with their religious
growth but by the nature of the
maturation process the growth
will not be confined to one area
of life, for the growth itself
will involve an awareness of the
unity and interrelation of one's
beliefs in all aspects of life.
Stimulaton of religious thought
will then involve diverse ques-
tions and issues of theological,
social, and psychological na-
ture if the thought is to be
a viable part of one's life.

With this type of growth as the
controlling idea I would like to
see Christian Association ini-
tiate discussions of current re-
ligious problems and issues and
their importance and relevance
to modern man. These dis-
cussions would center around
the fundamental problems man
faces in his religious life today,
the influence of existentialist
thought, and the influence of
social problems on the char-
acter of man's faith. These dis-
cussions would hopefully lead
not to definitive answers but to

clarification of the problems in-
volved, further individual dis-
cussions, and careful con-
sideration and thought on the
part of the student.

Along with these discussions
I would like to see more re-
sponsibility and initiative on
the part of the Christian As-
sociation Representatives on
the individual halls in the sti-
mulation of students. This could
be effected by giving the nomi-
nees specific information about
their responsibilities, by provi-
sion of good discussion ma-
terial, and by encouraging the
CAR's to lead and participate
in the campus discussions.

To correlate with these dis-
cussions Christian Association
should continue and increase
some of its present programs.
A variety of worship services
would help make religion more
meaningful to the student.

Its applicability and oppor-
tunities for service would be
realized by increased plunges
into the surrounding areas and
by continuing the present ser-
vice projects. Cooperation with
other area Y's would both pre-
mote interaction among the stu-
dents and provide service for
their common community. Book
discussions, movies discus-

Christian Association is
made up of 750 individuals.
These individuals are students
in an academic environment
which encourages questioning
of ultimate values. Each is at
a different stage of develop-
ing her philosophy of life.

A religious organization on
this campus should meet each
student with what is relevant
to her as an individual. Chris-
tian Association does not exist
for Baptist, Methodists, and
Presbyterians alone, but also
for atheists, agnostics, and
those who do not know what they
are. Programs that are of in-
terest to one individual may
not be of interest to somebody
else.

An afternoon of classical
music in the cabin may be a
meaningful experience to one
person, while another may feel
the need of the intellectual sti-
mulation of a book discussion.
Some people find it meaning-
ful to express their commit-
ment through service projects,
while such activities as
"plunges" help others to get
outside of the narrow world in
which they live.

A Christian Association that
is made up of the entire stu-
dent body, led by students, and

Mitchell Seeks New
Involvement For AA

Stafford Defines AA:
Something

Kat Mitchell

Having worked with Athletic
Association as a cheerleader,
as Spirit Coordinator, and as
Secretary, I have found that it
is the area that my individual
talents best meet the needs of
Agnes Scott. Because I am in-
terested in all of its activi-
ties, my experience on A.A.
has not been limited to one par-
ticular division of the board.
I support many of its past pro-
grams but I also see opportu-
nities to initiate projects in new
areas.

It is because of this total in-
terest in A.A. and because I
believe in its potential to make
a bigger contribution to Agnes
Scott and to Atlanta that I seek
the office of President. My pri-

mary goal will be to construct
in areas where interest has been
expressed and to evaluate and
possibly discontinue programs
that seem to have lost student
support.

As President of A. A., I would
be concerned with introducing
new areas of involvement. One
of the fundamental functions of
A.A. is creating unity among
the students. In the sports
areas, I would like to see a spi-
rit of unity as well as a spi-
rit of competition.

Perhaps this could best be ac-
complished by providing more
play days so that classes have
an opportunity to play with each
other as well as against each
other. But I am even more in
terested in seeing A.A. develop
in areas other than the strictly
athletic.

There is an opportunity to do
more work in the community.
Providing recreation for the
DeKalb Juvenile Home is a step
in that direction, but the pos-
sibilities of providing recrea-
tion for slum children or for
the handicapped should also be
investigated. I would also like
to see A.A. work more closely

What is Athletic Association?
As stated in the constitution, A.
A. is an organization with the
expressed purpose of 'promot-
ing interest in athletic and
recreational activities among
the students as a means of
creating spirit, encouraging
good sportsmanship and deve-
loping physical fitness."

This Athletic Association
does through various means.
Already established are the in-
terclass competition in hockey,
basketball, volleyball, and
swimming. Also, not so readi-
ly recognized as class com-
petition but rather as individual
are tennis, golf, archery, etc.

But what about the person
who is not so athletically in-
clined? Here A.A. has pro-
vided bicycles for an afternoon
ride or a picnic. Athletic as-
sociaton realizes that interests
change throughout the years and
therefore, constantly offers dif-
ferent activities. Recently be-
bun have been open nights for
the trampoline, the well fre-
quented pool table, open fenc-
ing, and this spring Softball.
All of these are aimed at the
athletic activities mentioned in
the statement of the purpose.

To carry out the "recreation-
al" purposes Athletic Associa-

Kathy Stafford

tion sponsors many varied Hub
parties, ranging anywhere from
animal crackers to marsh-
mellow roasts. In the spring
A.A. sponsors the spring
picnic at which time awards
are made to those who have ac-
quired enough points from par-
ticipating in various athletic ac-
tivities. These recreational
activities are aimed at raising
the spirit of the students out of
their slumps and also unify-
ing the student body in fun.

Athletic Association has not
just strictly stayed in the bounds
of this statement. Recently A.
A. has branched out into other
areas. Last year the blood drive

instituted for students cannot
hope to accomplish more than to
provide opportunities for the
expression and stimulation of
thoughts about ultimate values.

As a group of unsure and
questioning students, Christian
Association cannot give the an-
swers to questions students
face. Neither can it "convert"
the entire student body to a par-
ticular brand of religion. Its
responsibility is to stimulate
thought, conversation, and op-
portunities for interpersonal
relationships, and to present
Christianity as an alternative
to students who are searching
for something meaningful with
which they can live.

The kinds of opportunities
provided by a Christian Asso-
ciation are as varied as the
kinds of activities that make up
what is known as the Christian
way of life. The kinds of pro-
grams offered should fit the
needs of the individual student,
no matter how small a group
of students feels this need. Dis-
cussion groups, chapel pro-
grams, and books may help give
the student an intellectual basis
for his religious commitment.

Worship services give one
means of expressing this com-
mitment, while service project
give another. It is important to
understand what a religious
commitment means, not only on
this campus, but also in the
community and in the modern
world. Service projects in this
area, "plunges", and local
speakers help in the under-
standing of the community.
Books, speakers, and dis-
cussions help one to see what
it means to be a citizen of the
world.

A religious organization
which is part of a college with
a religious commitment is po-
tentially a meaningful part of
this college. It must realize
that almost everybody here is
searching for something, whe-
ther it be "the truth" or sim-
ply enough truth for them to
live with.

No organization or institution
can give them "the truth" or
even tell them what beliefs they
can best live with. The best
an organization of students can
hope to do, as an organization,
in this area is to stimulate
thinking and questioningin those
who have always taken every-
thing without questioning, and to
offer possible alternatives to
those who are searching and
questioning*

I would like to see people
who are not on cabinet take
a more active role in the work
of Christian Association, so
that every member of the stu-
dent body who wishes to can
feel herself to be a real part
of Christian Association. This
is the only way in which an or-
ganization such as this can
speak to each individual student.

I would like to seem o/em em-
bers participate in activities
that are not Agnes Scott cen-
tered. One way of doing this is
to realize the opportunities a-
vailable through affiliation
with such groups as the Y.M.
C.A. Most of all, I would like
to see Christian Association
continue to work as individuals
to find their own meaningful
commitment and to develop the
kind of interpersonal relation-
ships that foster the openness
and honesty necessary for liv-
ing together in the best kind of
community.

Social Council President

Gilbert Desires
Broader Function

Agnes Scott's Social Coun-
cil is in a stage of transition.
Recent past presidents have
worked toward a council which
fills a need on the campus in
more than merely theory.

A council which serves only
to organize dances and enforce
a dress policy is not essential
to a campus such as ours. These
are, of course, the functions one
thinks of in connection with So-
cial Council, but it is working
for more than this.

Agnes Scott dances should
fill a social need of the students.
This year's dance featured an
orchestra. This type of dance
is one which we do not have
many opportunities to attend.

A dance which echoes and
does not quite live up to a
fraternity dance cannot be suc-
cessful. Social Council must
continue in this trend and work
only toward the interests of
the student body, not just to
hold with a tradition.

The dress policy should be
one which embraces every as-
pect of the active life of the

students, not one which forces
an outdated mode upon them.
This is possible only through
continual observation and work.
As our society is not static,
neither is the dress it accepts.

I would like our Social Coun-
cil to be one which continues
to fill an ever larger place on
the campus. One which changes
its policies and functions with
the changing society we live
in. Social Council should pro-
mote in a very informal way
friendly relationships between
faculty and students. It should
offer firesides and discussion
groups on topics which are
both useful and interesting. It
cannot be successful as a dat-
ing bureau.

Social Council can be an es-
sential part of our campus only
if it continues to change in two
ways. First, its position must
change. Its functions must be
spread to every part of life at
Agnes Scott. Then, it must al-
ways be changing to meet the
needs of the fast-paced society
we live in.

Pardue

its student certain standards
which it feels are important to
the development of the stu-
dent. My interpretation of the
Honor System is that it is a
good moral guideline and that
it asks nothing that shouldn't be
asked of a person. I think that
the Honor System could be stim-
ulated and maintained if we can
improve our concept of rules
and punishments, but as 1 see it
now the Honor System is slowly
losing its force because of the
rules which surround it.

There is another problem in
student government which has
hurt the Honor System. Stu-
dent government is too wrapped
up in student government. Stu-
dent government has lost con-
tact with most of the people in
the school who don't care if
Representative or Judicial
Council meets or not. This is
because student government
people get so involved in com-
mittees that they can't emerge
to see the rest of the campus
( I am one of the worst offen-
ders).

We must make people say
what they want student govern-
ment to do as their voice in-
stead of student government
making up their own ideas. Be-
cause of this disinterest the
Honor System has become the
System that is mainly support-
ed and discussed by the Judicial
Board. One of the solutions to
this problem would be to let
House Council have a more in-
teresting role in student gov-
ernment, and there is a good
possibility of this is there is a
change in the sign in-out sys-
tem.

We need to use different peo-
ple for the various jobs in order
to spread interest around the
campus. If we can get people to
work their freshmen year, we
can solve many of the problems.
Freshmen and Sophomores
should be used much more than
they are, because whenever they
are asked to do something they
usually do an excellent job.

This brings me to our Judicial
Orientation Program which
lacks in its ability to commun-
icate the attitude of the Honor
System to the Freshmen. The
upperclassmen are the people

Hamilton's Motto
'Communication'

Ethel Ware Gilbert

Following the same thought
pattern of the advertising mot-
to, "Progress is our business,"
I, in turn, would 1-ke to state a
motto which I feel Social Coun-
cil should work toward: "Com-
munication is our concern."
Without trying to defend the
purposes and services of Soc-
ial Council in a typically ne-
gative way (such as: "It is
not merely a social club that
tells students that they must
not wear Bermuda shorts in the
dining hall,"), I would like to
explain the above stated motto
and relate it to my interest in
and aspirations for this Board.

The services and projects
of the Social Council Board are
themselves a means of com-
munication. The work of the
board is orientated toward in-
troducing the students to an
equally important side of cam-

who can correct this error by
having a greater personal con-
tact with the Freshmen.

I think besides the present
handbook classes each Judicial
member should talk with her
handbook class in Winter quar-
ter. When we have better com-
munication and interest in stu-
dent government and the Honor
System we will have much of
the battle won.

The penalties which Judicial
are giving are strictly punitive
in most cases and are serving
no positive function. I would
like to see Judicial have some
creative penalties that would
help the person who broke the
rule. When a person gets four
3-day campuses for failure to
sign out, she probably won't
remember to sign out any better
the next time. If this person
could be given a penalty such
as checking mistakes on sign-
out slips or something con-
cerned with the rule that she
broke, I think our penalties
could be more effective. In
some cases this would be im-
possible, but I think that we can
branch out to better areas of
punishments.

We also need to cut down on
the number of campuses we
give, but when we give a cam-
pus make it more restrictive
similar to our present re-
strictive campus. There is no
sense in burdening down people
with multiple campuses which
serve only to foster a bad atti-
tude.

The problem with student
government is rooted in our
over-concern with rules and the
Honor System. Until we have
developed a responsible and
mature Honor System, we have
little hope of getting Agnes
Scott outside ourlittle block be-
cause people will naturally be
concerned with the immediate
problems of irritation." I would
like to help the Honor System
through a critical analysis of
the entire procedure and to sug-
gest changes which I believe
can help the entire school. By
running for Judicial Chairman I
am asking for your support in
developing a more mature ap-
proach to our Honor System
therefore resulting in a more
mature student government.

Social Council. . .creative?!
Of coursel Now that Social
Council has expanded it's scope
of activities and shown itself
to be an integral part of cam-
pus life, ingenuity is what will
keep its acitvities alive and in-
teresting. The new ideas which
previous councils have come
up with show that coordinating
the social events of Agnes Scott
and providing for the needs of
the campus involve much more
than planning a successful dance
weekend or sponsoring parties
and fashion shows during orien-
tation, though these are de-
finitely two of the most impor-
tant activities of the Council.

The biggest new undertaking
of Social Council this past year
was the Wednesday Night Cas-
uals. These have great potential
in my opinion in that they pro-
vide an opportunity to meet boys
on other than a blind-date basis.

For this reason, particularly,
I feel that they should be con-
tinued for at least one more
year since they have just now
begun to develop some continui-
ty. The main thing which will
be needed for their success is
the support of our campus, not
the boys; the boys will come if
we are there to meet them!
It would help if our student
center provided some other di-
versions besides pool and peo-
ple such as a juke box or ping
pong tables, both of which I
would like to see provided in the
Hub.

The Winter Dance Weekend
this year was a big success and
I definitely would like to see a
repeat of that next year. I think
that our dance weekend should
always be the combination of
casual and formal as itwasthis
winter. Since we go to school
in such a metropolitan area as
Atlanta, I do not think that more
than one dance weekend a year
is necessary of desired.

By this I mean that all ef-
forts should go towards the
Winter Weekend which would be
held during the last part of Jan-
uary ( since that is semester
break in so many schools). I
think that eventually Scott could
build up this weekend into a
three-event weekend, with some
well-known entertainment pro-
vided on Saturday afternoon.
This could be done for little
raise in the cost of tickets if
the entire student body could
be counted on to buy tickets,
which so far cannot be assured.

One thing which will be new
for Social Council next year
will be taking on the Marriage
Classes which have previously
been sponsored by Mortar
Board. Since Social Council is
made up of girls from all the
classes, it may be that the pro-
gram set up for the classes
will be open, at least in part,
to others than seniors and en-
gaged students.

I would like to see a com-
mittee be formed to set up al-
ternative subjects and speakers
which would then be submitted
to the board as a whole to de-
cide. This, it seems, would
be advantageous to the under-
classmen who would be planning
the program in future years be-
cause they would be aware of the
possibilities which the program
holds and the drawbacks which
they may anticipate.

Elaine Harper

One thing which has been
dropped this year was campus
movies. There was almost no
demand for these so it was the
most practical thing to do. What
I would like to see done is to
put the "movies" with Hub
Parties, such as cartoons or
silent movies.

This is one area which I think
has been neglected to some ex-
tent. Hub Parties have gotten
into the rut of "free cokes and
expensive doughnuts," when
they could be the subjects of
innovation and be made into a
wig demonstration or a make-
up demonstration, using stu-
dents as models!

Besides organizing the acti-
vities of Social Council and
acting as an intermediary be-
tween the Dean's staff and the
board, the person who is So-
cial Council President serves
as a senior representative to
Representative Council. Hav-
ing served as Treasurer of
Social Council I feel that I
am qualified for the position of
President because of my en-
thusiasm for the work of the
council and my experience on
it.

pus life, that of social develop-
ment.

In the same manner that the
faculty directs its efforts to-
ward academic achievement and
progress, Social Council di-
rects its work toward offering a
balancing curriculum of social
opportunities. The balance of
academics and social life pro-
motes the balanced personality,
which we refer to as the "whole
woman."

At present, Social Council
is a working and progressive
organization directing its pro-
gram of activities toward the
student. In order to continue its
program of services and in or-
der to expand the work of the
board, I would advocate de-
veloping more completely the
possibility of communication in
four areas: between the stu-
dents and the board, within
the board itself, between So-
cial Council and other boards,
and between Agnes Scott and
similar girls' colleges.

Because the student body is
the first concern of the Board, I
feel that the students should
have a voice in the work of
the board. By having a sugges-
tion poster placed near the So-
cial Council minutes, students
would be able to comment upon
suggestions made by the board,
to record their opinions in an
honest manner of evaluation and
to offer their ideas for improv-
ing the activities of the board.

To further communication
with the student body, I would
like to see the Profile repre-
sentative continue writing in-
formative articles; I would also
like to continue assigning board
members to dorms in order that
they might emphasize and pub-
licize the work of the board.
This latter medium would al-
so allow for personal student
questions and suggestions to be
directed to the board members.

Within the Board itself, I
would like to see an organized
set of reports prepared by board
members who work on special
activities. In these reports
could be listed the process,
problems and suggestions for
improving the particular pro-
ject. Reports have been writ-
ten for certain Social Council
acitvities, but the expansion of
detailed reports would help the
present board members as well
as those of future years.

Because of the importance of
all five campus boards, I see
the need for a very close work-
ing relationship between them.
I would suggest that the boards
work together on service pro-
jects and campus activities.

As a further means of com-
munication, I would like to see
a board member designated for
correspondence with other
schools. This person would
write to other colleges relat-
ing the work of the Agnes Scott
Social Council Board, and
through this correspondence,
obtain new ideas and new per-
spectives from these other
campuses.

Having mentioned my con-
cern with communication, I
would now like to deal with
some specific aspects of the
Social Council program of ser-
vices with which I am particu-
larly concerned.

The Winter Dance Week-end
is the largest or rather the most
widely publicized project of the
Board. I would like to continue
the precedent set this year,
having an informal dance on

This past yea
improvements made possible
through House Councils and
House presidents. Such con-
veniences as additional washers
and driers, rubber padding on
stairways and new kitchen sup-
plies have certainly added to
the comforts of each dormitory.
Installation of improvements
like these necessarily rest in
the hands of the dorm president
and her council. Yet there is
the possibility of improvements
to be made in another direc-
tion also that of instilling a
sense of honor, in which Agnes
Scott earnestly desires to pride
herself.

With the increasing number
of boarding students, the re-
sponsibilities of Judicial Board
members are becoming much
harder to fulfill effectively.
Having served on the board I
have become greatly aware of
the problems presented by an
expanding campus I do not pro-
pose a larger Judicial Board or
that House Council members be
included on the board. But I
encourage a strengthening of
the House Council's sense of
responsibility to Student Gov-
ernment and her fellow stu-
dents. This can be accom-
plished only by increasing the
actual responsibilities placed
on the councils.

Steps in this direction can be
taken only by actions suggested
by Reorganization Committee
and Rules Committee. Poten-
tial for measures such as these
is increasing due to the chair-
man of House Presidents Coun-
cil's membership on Reor-
ganization Committee

Tunia Corbitt

There are several changes
now under consideration of
Rules Committee which could
bring direct changes in House
Council's responsibilities. The
major of these is a revision of
the sign-out procedure. Look-
ing optimistically toward ac-
ceptance of this suggestion, we
may also see an eventual trend
toward more judicial respon-
sibilities within each dorm
rather than all within the single
body of Judicial Board, thus
more responsibility for the
House Council. Although such
possibilities lie in the future,
an increasing sense of respon-
sibility must begin now.

I do not propose a transpo-
sition of House Council into a
so-called Honor Council, mere-
ly an increased awareness of
the needs of the students and
student body as a whole in areas
other than needs of the dormi-
tories themselves. In recent
years there has been a trend
toward fulfilling the needs of
the students through dorm par-
ties and inter-dorm competi-
tion. This tendency needs to
be continued and broadened.

It is my hope that the poten-
tial within House Council be
realized and that it obtain re-
sponsibilities other than main-
tenance and improvement of the
dormitories. These house
councils are in a position both

to sense the needs of the whole
campus and to strengthen the
ideals of honor and integrity in
each student.

These goals can be obtained
through the existing close as-
sociation with Representative
Council and an increase asso-
ciation with the members of
Judicial Board. This associa-
tion has been encouraged by the
invitation extended to Judicial
members to attend the House
Council meetings. Measures
such as this must be continued
in order to increase the aware-
ness of House Councils and in-
crease their sense of responsi-
bility.

was begun. This seeks to help
students feel that they are doing
something for the greater com-
munity while at the same time
providing insurance for their
needs.

-A.A. is sponsoring this again
this year. Another program just
completed is the self-defense
program. Also, this spring A.A.
will sponsor a First Aid Pro-
gram that will be held during
one week of chapels. Both of
these programs are aimed at
protecting the individual by pro-
viding vital and useful informa-
tion to the student.

I realize that there are a num-
ber of areas in which Athletic
Association could better carry
out the stated purpose. There
are several proposals that I
would like to make for the fu-
ture of A.A. First, one main
area of improvement is in the
interest of the student body.
Although all are not capable of
participating in an athletic
event, everyone can yell.

We do not want to force
students to come to all acti-
vities; however, we hope to
encourage participation in one
form or another. Also, I would
like to see the interests of
students expressed in some sort
of questionnaire or poll so that
A.A. can better meet the wants
of the student body.

Secondly, I would like to have
more emphasis placed in the
area of recreation. Athletic As-
sociation could introduce a ge-
neral physical fitness program-
especially during the winter
months. I feel, also, that the ca-
bin should be put to more use.
This could be done by having
some A.A. sponsored parties
in the cabin and also by en-
couraging more student use.
Following up with Sigma Chi
Derby Day, we could introduce
some kind of playday on cam-
pus at which time we could have
class or even dorm competi-
tion.

Furthermore, I would like to
see Athletic Association spon-
sor tournaments and playdays
with schools outside of our im-
mediate area. Also, we should
sponsor students to attend con-
ferences at which our Athletic
Association could benefit and
also at which we could aid other
colleges in improving their pro-
gram.

It is through these roughly
sketched plans that I hope that
Athletic Association can offer
more and better programs for
the individual student. Athletic
Association's main aim is to
serve the individual student. To
do this the Athletic Association
board must consist of enthus-
astic and interested students.
It is as the head of such a board
that I would feel it an honor
and a privilege to serve.

House president is primarily
a position of understanding and
guidance. A house president
must be receptive and able to
handle problems; she must be
sensitive and sensible in deal-
ing with these problems. Im-
proved student relations and co-
hesive dorm life should be the
goal of every house president
and the main goal of the chair-
man of house presidents in par-
ticular. This will be my pri-
mary goal if I am elected chair-
man of house presidents.

The question now is how I
plan to carry out this goal.
First of all I advocate con-
tinuance of the close relation-
ship between the house presi-
dents council, the judicial board
and representatve council.
Only through the cooperation
of these boards can dormitory
life be improved and students'
problems be solved.

House presidents council this
year has strived for greater
cooperation among these three
councils; this effort has prov-
ed productive in maintaining the
ease and friendly attitude so es-
sential to dorm life. Students
need to feel "at home." This
atmosphere can be obtained only
when students living together
know one another and when con-
flicts among these students are

eliminated.

Often tension due to academic
and sometimes other pressures
is an undercurrent in dorm life.
Dorm parties and projects
would help relieve this ten-
sion and promote friendships.
Besides being interested in the
welfare of the students in the
dorms, the chairman of house
presidents must deal with prac-
tical prablems such as fire
drills, facilities in the dorms,
etc. A person with foresight
and common sense must be in
the position to handle these mat-
ters.

I feel the most important qua-
lification needed in the chair-
man of house presidents is an
understanding of her responsi-
bility. I feel I have this under-
standing. Time, enthusiasm,
and good ideas must accom-
pany this understanding to back
it up and lend force to it. These,
too, I have. I hope you consi-
der my qualifications good en-
ought to elect me chairman of
house Dresjdgp^ s.

Proposals

The system is different from
the present one in several ways.
For example, to attain senior
standing now, a student must
present 129 hours of credit, a
minimum of 120 quality points,
and a minimum of 21 hours of
C or above.

The classification will be fig-
ured on a quality point ratio
rather than a total number of
quality points.

Furthermore, a student who
fails to earn at least 30 quarter
hours of credit in a session will
be "automatically excluded."
Also excluded is the student
who fails to attain proper class
standing two successive years.
Exception may be made for
summer school work.

in

that this procedure should be
continued. Judicial Council can
be very influential in determin-
ing more responsible student
body members by its interpre-
tations and re-evaluations of
existing policies.

The Judicial Chairman as-
sumes a very important posi-
tion on such a board. It is she
who does the most to encour-
age and maintain an atmosphere
of questioning in discussion and
voting.

She can also guide the policy
interpretation and the action
that the Board takes in certain
matters, but let it not be mis-
understood, guiding is the ex-
tent of her influence. The in-
terpretations and decisions
made by a particular Board
necessarily reflect the opinions
of its chairman, but atthesame
time, the influence of the indi-
vidual Board members can be
noted.

However, the role of the Jud-
icial Chairman is not only that
of a leader; she must be a list-
ener as well. She, above all
other Judicial members, must
be especially aware of campus
opinion. She must be sensi-
tive to campus feeling, and must
attempt to organize discussions
that concern these problems.

In this article, I have discus-
sed only general aspects of Ju-
dicial work, but it cannot be oth-
erwise. Otherthan that Judicial
Council is concerned with the
concept of Honor, there can be
other specific purposes stated
for an organization that must be
flexible enough to treat each
particular case or problem that
arises individually.

My experience as a member
of Judicial Council for two years
and as Judicial Secretary this
past year has made me very
aware of the problems that con-
front the Board. I also realize
the time and effort the Chair-
man must devote to Judicial
Council to make it function ef-
fectively. I am confident that
I have the qualifications and in-
terest to guide an effective
Judicial Council next year.

moratorium during

College
become a

which period the student's ex-
istence becomes more and more
ego- centered. The upcoming
symposium on the City is an
acknowledgement of the ten-
dency to fall into an individual
world. Scott is small enough,
however, for it to be difficult
for a student to entirely cut
herself off in her attempt to
achieve what might be wrong-
ly called "self fulfillment."

One means by which this
estrangement is hindered is
the existence of the Honor Sys-
tem. We cannot live in a mora-
torium in that we are not re-
sponsible for ourselves alone.
Yet each student and individual
reaches to the Honor System in

a different manner one may

idealistically think it a fault-
less system, one may think it
a frace, one may think it point-
less.

The crucial acceptance of the
Honor System, I feel, rests with
the individual. Yet it rests with
her in a double manner in her
acceptance of the life establish-
ed by it and in her acceptance
of her position in it. I feel it
is a failure of the Honor Sys-
tem if a student accepts the Ho-
nor System without a realization
of this double acceptance fol-
lowed by a definite reaction.
The Judicial Board's main re-
sponsibility should not be con-
sidered to be to DEAL with
those who have violated the
system, but to make each stu-

Kay Jordan

dent react to the system. I
sincerely believe that it is
harmful for a person, aitnough
she may never break a rule,
to consider herself untouch-
ed by it.

The Judicial Board has seen
this responsibility and is at-
tempting to get the students
to regard it not as a police
agency, but as a body which
regulates student life through
a necessarily structured group-
as is necessary in any institu-
tion to maintain cooperative
life.

So much emphasis is put on
the individual during the col-
lege period, that a student of-
ten feels as if her opinion
at that time, anyway is the
one which is correct for her
and that it is against self-
development for her to be pre-
vented from living according
to this opinion. It is at this
point that Judicial must en-
deavor to clarify the seeming

contridiction of the stress on
the individual choice and the
so called restrictions against
this choice. It is to this seem-
ing contradiction that each stu-
dent must react and it is the
duty of Judicial to see that this
reaction occurs.

I feel that the general move-
ment of the student population
is to assert his individual re-
sponsible choice. In the Scott
environment this choice may
seem to be learning more to-
ward the responsible angle and
less toward the individual. Yet,
the Judicial Board is and must
combine the two aspects realis-
tically. I feel that the Judi-
cial Board by attempting to be
less of a police force, by the
interest shown in the issues
beyond their routine regulations
is turning toward this respon-
sibility.

I see both angles and rea-
lize that the endeavor is nebu-
lous and sensitive, which may
lead to misunderstandings; yet I
feel strongly that it is the vital
duty of the Judicial members to
see this as another opportunity
of avoiding the sinking into the
moratorium by seeing the anti-
egoc entered life suggested by
an Honor System. I am inter-
ested in an individual's re-
sponse to the Honor System be-
cause I feel that this reaction
goes as deep into a person's
fulfillment as any reaction at
college. I want to have this con-
tact with individuals and intend
my response to a person's reac-
tion to be realistically sincere.

Outlines

Duties

The Constitution of the Stu-
dent Government of Agnes Scott
lists in Article VII two duties
for the Secretary of Student
Government: to record minu-
tes for student meetings and to
act as Representative Council
secretary. Although discus-
sions of secretarial quali-
fications generally focus on
such skills as writing ability
and accuracy, to execute effec-
tively the two tasks delineated
in the Constitution the Secre-
tary of Student Government
should be more than simply the
writing arm of the student body
and of Rep Council. She should
function as a link between Re-
presentative Council and the
student body, serve as liason
between the student government
and the "outside world" at
large, and participate in Rep
Council as an active member.

For the many in the Agnes
Scott student body who are in-
terested in school affairs but
unable for various reasons to
attend regularly the Rep Coun-
cil sessions, the minutes on the
mailroom bulletin board are the
major official source of infor-
mation about Rep Council pro-
ceedings. It is essential that
communication exist between
the Student Government As-
sociation and its legislative and
executive branch Represen-
tative Council; students are free
to communicate by attending and
participating in Rep Council,
and the Secretary is one of the
agents through whom the Coun-
cil does its part in maintain-
ing communications. The Sec-
retary thus serves both Re-
presentative Council and the
students and is a vital link
between informally-expressed
student opinion and the organiz-
ed expression via Rep Council.

The Secretary is also in cor-
respondence and in conference
the liason of Student Govern-
ment Association and Rep Coun-
cil with people outside of Agnes
Scott. Like all secretaries, she
thus bears responsibility for the
attitudes and opinions others
form toward those for whom
she works. The Secretary must
be willing to give time and ef-
fort in order to carry out her
oral and written responsibili-
ties as efficiently and careful-
ly as possible. She plays an
important role in the "Emer-
gence" which must continue if
Agnes Scott is to progress.

Finally, the Secretary must
do her part as a functioning
member of Representative
Council. What she hears and
sees should stimulate her
thought as well as her pencil;
she must contribute ideas as
well as words on paper. Rep
Council is the constitutional-
ly-organized vehicle for stu-
dent opinion, effort, and pro-
gress, and the needed changes
which must come to Agnes Scott

Are you aware that you are
one of approximately five mil-
lion college students in the Unit-
ed States today one of the
group that President Johnson
tagged as "our most valuable
national resource"? Did you
realize that you also belong, as
do other students to the U.S.
National Student Association,
the largest student organization
in the U.S. today?

Do these facts mean anything
to you? They should. And mak-
ing you aware of that place
you hold in the world beyond
the walls of Agnes Scott Col-
lege is the function of the NSA
coordinator. By serving as a
"liaison between ASC and
NSA," she carries your ideas
to other schools and students
and brings theirs to you.

The NSA coordinator speaks
for you when she attends the Na-
tional Student Congress that an-
nually determines policy for
NSA and as she communicates
with other schools about their
problems, projects and ideas.
She speaks to you, reporting
what she has learned from
others and awakening you to an
awareness of the issues facing
students all over the world.

The National Student As-
sociation has three major goals.
The most highly organized task
and the one that affects stu-
dents more directly than any
other is service to students.
This category includes provid-
ing for the aid of student govern-
ments a consulting service and
lending library of documents
which analyze common pro-
blems and suggest established
solutions. The discount, travel
and insurance programs which
come in this area are evidence
of the benefit of banding toget-
her.

The second major goal of NSA
is representing student in-
terest. Students should be re-
presented when questions in-
volving them are being decided.
A national union offers the best
provision for representation at
meetings and conference that
have a national scope.

USNSA also serves to pro-
vide an international voice. It
informs U.S. and foreign stu-
dents about the needs and pro-
blems of the other. Where there
is a need for action technical
assistance or moral support
NSA acts as an agent of U.S.
students.

As you can see NSA is much
more than just a political or-
ganization. However, it is also
more than just a student or-
ganization for the purpose of
getting special benefits because
of greater numbers.

USNSA reflects the myriad
concerns of today's college
youth from the individual's
desire to travel in Europe at
reduced rates and his inter-
est in his school's educational
problems and its student go-
vernment to the young citizen's
involvement with national and
international issues.

NSA has failed if it does not
touch and involve the individual
student. The coordinator is re-
sponsible for linking the two.
I believe that her responsibi-
lities fall into two major cate-
gories.

There is quite definitely a
political side of her duties. This
is the one that interests me the
most and the one for which I
feel most qualified to serve. As
a political science major, Pre-
sident of the Agnes Scott Young
Republicans and summertime
member of a newspaper staff,
I feel that I am qualified by
interest and experience.

I am disturbed by the poli-
tical vacuum that exists on
this campus. My personal goal
if elected to this position would
be to fill that vacuum with
awareness and involvement. We
are not isolated from others
and their problems, and we
must not act as though we
were.

The NSA coordinator herself
must be informed. This is not
all, however. She has a unique
opportunity and responsibility
for instructing and creating in-
terest on the part of the entire
student body.

There is another aspect to the
responsibility of the coordina-
tor. This is the non-political
side. The most complex, it is
the one that directly touches
the individual student and his
school.

Scott students seem only on-
ly vaguely aware of the pos-
sibilities in this area. The dis-
count programs and travel tours
are well-publicized, but how of-
ten do you hear about the aids
available to student governments
or the reasons why we must be
concerned about another
school's students' battle for
academic freedom?

Cheryl Bruce

So much that NSA does in
the realms of student services,
community involvement, edu-
cation and international affairs
is not political. It is other di-
rected and as such draws stu-
dents into relationships outside
of themselves. We must become
more aware of the intangible
as well as the tangible bene-
fits to be gained from member-
ship in NSA.

As NSA coordinator I would
be in a position to put my
ideas and ideals into action.
There is a need the political
vacuum must be filled, and each
Scott student must realize her
identity with other students and
those outside of the student
realm. Achievement of each of
these ideals means the develop-
ment of characteristics of the
liberally-educated person who
will become an inteUigent, in-
formed and thoughtful citizen.

Remember last Friday when
you got home for Spring Va-
cation? Remember the shock? -
The world was still therel In
the course of one day you were
amazed to discover Aunt Har-
riet had had your newest cou-
sin, or your brother was DAT-
ING, or your sister was wear-
ing a bra! But then when you
read a newspaper, or got hit
with the every - hour- on-the
hour headlines from your tran-
sistor you realized that you
hadn't been paying much atten-
tion to the World lately, and
you should' ve been mad at your-
self. I was.

Marsha Williams

Did you know that the milk
crisis was as serious as it is?
Have you formed an opinion on
whether or not Congress has the
right to chastize its members
just for getting caught at what
everybody knows is going on all
around? Are you anxious to see
if Garrison will take a lie
detector test to prove the ho-
nesty of his accusations, and
nature of the whole proceeding?

What I'm trying to say is that
sometimes we at Scott get so
involved with studying, that we
don't take the time to learn. We
need to be aware of the hap-
penings on the national and in-
ternational scene. We need to
know what's erupting on other
campuses. We need to get upse
about problems other than the
validity of our own policies, or
arrangement of our own curri-
culum. We need to be, as the
frayed - edged phrase says,
"whole."

Stimulating the campus to-
ward involvement with the Out-
side would be an exciting chal-
lenge for me. As NSA co-or-
dinator I would represent Scott
at the yearly convention, and
bring communication fromthat
convention back to you. I would
acquaint you with all that NSA
has to offer in the way of tra-
vel advice, or special rates
available to students through
NSA.

But beyond this, I'd work to
insure our alertness to the
pulsings of our nation. I don't

important base for student go-
vernment progress.

The planning of Fall Retreat,
the vice president's responsi-
bility, is essential to success-
ful and progressive board work
for the year because it is the
time to co - ordinate student
aims and develop the spirit and
framework for real and lasting
cooperation. I will do my best
to facilitate well organized and
fruitful Retreat for the coming
year.

I feel strongly that each new*
class of freshmen should be
introduced to Agnes Scott in
the most effective way pos-
sible. The vice president of stu-
dent government also serves
as a lifik between Rep Council
and the Orientation Committee

in an advisory capacity. I am
most interested in orientation
plans and am eager for the op-
portunity to have a part in plann-
ing for the freshmen.

As editor of the Handbook,
I simply would do my best to
edit with care, concentrating
on the re-wording of ambiguous
statements and on the changes
made in the past year. Cla-
rity in Handbook exDla nations
and rules is a "must".

I am extremely interested in
student government work and
hope to have the opportunity to
serve with the determination
and dedication that are expected
of student officers. If afforded
the honor and confidence, I
anticipate eagerly the satisfac-
tion of serving well.

know yet what channels could be
opened for student-world com-
municatio, but I'd like the
chance to find them. The job
of NSA co-ordinator is a big
responsibility - I'll do my best
for yo u.

Friday of the week-end follow-
ed by a formal dance on Sat-
urday night.

This year's dance week-end
proved that this plan was popu-
lar with the Student Body. If
there is continued support of
the dance week-end, I would,
however, recommend one
change. I would suggest having
the informal Friday night dance
off campus rather than in the
dining hall or the Hub.

During the dance week-end,
I would like to see a Saturday
afternoon concert featuring a
well-known band or group of
entertainers. This suggestion
requires substantial financial
backing, but it is possible if
student support of the dance is
as great as it was last year.

Also during the week-end,
I would recommend having dorm
lobbies open from Friday af-
ternoon until Sunday night. Be-
cause of the inadequate number
of date parlors, this arrange-
ment is necessary if only to al-
low out-of-town guests a com-
fortable setting in which they
may wait for their dates to make
a "grand entrance."

The Dress Policy which So-
cial Council formulates is, of
course, an everyday concern of
the board and one which the stu-
dents realize most frequently.
I would like to see two major
changes made in this policy.
First, I would recommend that
students be allowed in the lower
dining hall during week nights
with hair rollers.

Visitors to the campus would
not be offended by the sight of
giant curlers if students re-
stricted themselves to the lower
dining hall in their rollers. The
second recommendation is that
students be allowed in the dining
hall at Saturday lunches inber-
mudas. I would restrict this
suggestion however, asking
these students to eat outside
in the Alunnae Gardens. Per-
haps something could be ar-
ranged with the dining hall to
set up tables in this area for
this purpose.

The Wednesday Night Cas-
uals in the newest project ini-
tiated by the Board. I would
like to see these casuals con-
tinued and given a chance to
become a regular weekly oc-
casion. I do believe, however,
that the addition of a Juke-box
to the Hub would not only help
the casuals, but would also
make the Hub a more popular
student center.

Social Council's possibilities
are growing along with the
growing campus community
and, therefore, it is impossi-
ble to deal with all the pro-
jects and activities of the board
herein. The work of Social
Council, however, must be em-
phasized as being important
to the well - rounded college
campus.

My main qualifications for the
position of President are my
experience as Secretary of the
Board this past year and my
interest in the work of the
Board. I realize the difficulty
and amount of time required to
fulfill this position, but I am
willing to devote my time, in-
terest and experience to the
work and expansion of the So-
cial Council Board.

Student Government Treasurer 1

The Texas night was warm
and still, but faces froze as the
young college girl announced
that she had a very important
matter to discuss with her fa-
ther. Thoughts of general panic
raced through the minds of these
present,

"I know she took Dean Kline's
advice to go to the movies dur-
ing exams, but surely she didn't
flunk out because. . .," mulled
the mother.

"She's been dating a boy from
Tech, but surely not. . .,"
mulled the brother.

The father took a deep breath
and led the way into the den.
From behind the closed door,
there came a peal of laughter.
In a few moments the father
stuck his head out to announce
that everything was fine.
"Patsy's just running for Trea-
surer of Student Government at
Scott."

"For Treasurer I" laughed
my brother. What makes you
think you're qualifiedfor that?"

"Dunn. . ., " I eloquently
replied. "Well, I have partici-
pated in other phases of student
activity, like A.A. Publicity,
Black Cat scenery, and Silhou-
ette. I was even a pigeon in
the last class skit."

"Wow," interjected my bro-
ther.

"Anyway, I have had exper-
ience in keeping a budget, and
1 do think I'd have the pro-
per arguments for the Budget
Committee. After all, I've been
arguing with Dad about money
matters for years."

Distracted by Dad's chuck-
ling, all focused their attention
on him.

"Oh, I'm sorry, dear. I don't
mean to offend you f but I can't
help laughing when I think of
another of your qualifications.
How many of the other Scott
girls running started out their
education in a school for the
mentally retarded?!"

"You have to admit I've made

progress I And we who spent
two years in first grade, one
with the retarded and one with
the normal after discovery of
the placement error, have had
vast experience handling num-
bers. After all, six weeks of
learning the numbers from one
to ten does form a good basis
to build on."

"You know, running for this
office may not be such a bad
idea after all. I'll even give you
the slogan to swing your cam-
paign."

"Oh really, Brother dearest.
What?"

"Joan of Arc's being burned
in May is no reason to vote
against Patsy May for Trea-
surer of Student Government."

"Oh, I like that positive at-
tiude. No, I think I'll use my
own: In April, vote May?"

Remember that. . .pleasel

Responsibility Of SG

The office of treasurer is one
which demands the time, inte-
grity, organizational abilities
and business aptitude of the per-
son who fills that position. Be-
yond this criterion there must
be a desire within the person
to work for and with members
of the immediate governmental
organization and all the mem-
bers of the association as a
whole.

With the full knowledge that
this criterion is essential for
the success of a workable go-
verning plan, I wish to come be-
fore the members of this col-
lege as a candidate for the of-
fice of treasurer of Student
Government Association.

As treasurer I would assume
those responsibilities of all fi-

nancial matters of the Associa-
tion. Also, I would serve as
chairman of the Budget Com-
mittee and be responsible for
the preparation of the student
budget. These duties would re-
quire the elements of that cri-
terion which I have named as
applicable to all treasurer posi-
tions.

Because I have served as
treasurer of some several or-
ganizations prior to my can-
didacy for treasurer of S.G.A.
here, I feel that I am capable
of co-ordinating the financial
matters and working with the
members of an organized go-
verning system. If elected, I
would concentrate my efforts on
the organizational inner work-
ings of this position.

of student government's focus.
The committee on academics
is one which offers great po-
tential in increasing the em-
phasis placed on an area of
student concern which has not
always been accorded the im-
portance it deserved. The stu-
dent's relation to the academic
atmosphere of the college is
primary here and is one which
influences all aspects of her
college life.

The advances which this com-
mittee has achieved, notably its
opportunity for open faculty -
student dialogue, must be con-
tinued so that students can see
their integral part in the aca-
demic life of the college. The
joint participation of students
and faculty in a common goal
can result in a uniting of the
two sides of the college com-
munity.

The concern over the fail-
ure to adequately introduce new
students to the academic life of
Agnes Scott as well as the pro-
posals concerning course se-
lection and class scheduling are
only the first of the benefits
of this committee if it is streng-
thened and made a vital part of
student government aims.

This unique opportunity for
student and faculty cooperation
in an area which concerns them
both can make this committee
an "idea" committee giving
impetus to many phases of
student government activity as
well as faculty involvement. The
Vice President should work
closely with this committee as

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

well as others to direct the aim
of student government in areas
not applying solely to rules and
legislation.

One of the few specific re-
sponsibilities delegated to the
Vice President is that of co-
ordinating retreat activities.
Retreat affords an important
time for students to concentrate
on their plans for the year ahead
in an atmosphere separat-
ed from other demands of
college life. However, I feel
that too often in the past this
opportunity has been diminish-
ed bv a poor us^ of the time.
vVhen meetings have been sche-
duled beyond the time neces-
sary to delineate proposals for
the new year, the initial en-
thusiasm has been lost and the
projects thus have suffered.

I think better use can be made
of the time at retreat and that
the length of the actual retreat
can thereby be shortened. Too
often a project has been dis-
cussed so much at retreat that
those most intimately connect-
ed with it have been lacking in
enthusiasm when they returned
to present it to the campus.
This defeats the entire pur-
pose of retreat and need not
happen.

Whoever is elected' to the of-
fice of Vice President will be
presented with an excitingchal-
lenge to her abilities and will be
given a special opportunity to
create an office unlike others
in student government. If I am
elected I will try to meet this
challenge.

Tar a Swartsel

The treasurer of S.G.A.
works with the treasurers and
business managers of those
campus organizations which re-
ceive funds from the Associa-
tion. To function well in this
capacity the person who serves
as treasurer should be interest-
ed in the inter-relationships of
these various organizations
not only on a financial basis
but on the basis of how those
groups can best complement
each other in their service to
the student body. I am interest-
ed in this aspect of the trea-
surer's duties and want towork
in this capacity.

If chosen by the members of
this campus community to serve
as treasurer of S.G.A., I would
serve you to the best of my
ability and work to make that
position one of effective finan-
cial and organizational co-
ordination.

"I'm running for Treasurer
of Student Government be-
cause. . .," but I'm not sure
that I can express it in 25
words or less, or even in more
than 25 words. There are many
things I'd like to say but I don't
know where to begin.

I'm interested vitally In-
terested in student govern-
ment, especially in the form of
self-government that we have.
We have much more freedom
than we often realize. I feel
that we should use this freedom,
not in usurping our relation-
ship with the faculty and admi-
nistration, but in improving this
relationship and that with our
entire community. Our free-
doms, both social and academic,
are the major areas in which
we stand out from other col-
leges. I would like to be a part
in directing the flow of this
freedom.

I'm also concerned for the
future of our student govern-
ment. We can't escape it: there
are places for improvement. We
all recognize that ours is not
the " super - government".
There are portions of our con-
stitution that are valid for our

present situation but will need
to be altered to accommodate
changes within the next year.

I want to be a part in mak-
ing these changes. Though it
may not be a part of the stated
duties of the treasurer to seek
out areas needing reform and
instigate the necessary

changes, it is not outside her
responsibility as a member of
a student-governing board.

It would be unfair to say that
I'm seeking the office to insti-
gate great reforms in the dis-
tribution of our money; because,
frankly, I'm not. I have no spec-
ial revelation on ways to im-
prove the system, but I'm will-
ing and eager to work with the
other treasurers and business
managers in allocatingthe avai-
lable funds.

I feel that I know enough of
the purpose and operation of
our student government to be
interested in learning more, and
yet not to flounder in my ef-
forts. I would like to be given
the opportunity, in the form of
the office of treasurer of stu-
dent government, to work with
and for our governing body in
making Agnes Scott her very
best.

Student Govern

Enthusiasm,
Ti me Wood
Promises

The opportunity to serve is a
challenge, a challenge to be
met with an awareness of those
whom you serve and an en-
thusiasm directed toward gett-
ing done those things the people
you serve want. The opportunity
to serve is also the responsi-
bility of the Secretary of the
Student Government and the
reason that I am seeking that
office.

Not only must the Secretary
be present at the meetings to
record the business transacted
there, but she must also be
present on the campus to hear,
to see, to feel the needs and
problems of the students and
make sure that they are brought
before the Student Government.
She must also carry the ideas
of the Student Government back
to the students, to keep them
conscious of an interest in
the activities of the body that
has the power to direct most of
the innovations and improve-
ments on this campus and be-
yond.

If elected to the office of
Secretary of the Student Go-
vernment, I will devote my
time and enthusiasm to a re-
opening of the direct lines of
communication between the stu-
dents and their governing body.
I will work to present to you
the business which vitally con-
cerns you in a fresh manner
that attracts attention and in-
creases interest.

I will also work to encourage
you not only to respond, but to
present your responses so that
you and other members of the
college and the community may
benefit from them. My goal
as Secretary of the Student
Government would be the ideal
of increased participation
through greater awareness of
the students and their govern-
ment of each other. Having
worked with Rep Council's new-
ly organized Edcuation Com-

ment Secretary

mittee, I am eager to put the

have for its ability to deal with

sions, and other present pro-
grams should be continued and
changed as needed.

I would like to evaluate the
possibilities and needs of con-
tinuing the use of counseling
ministers. Here the CAR's
could help evaluate the pro-
gram and provide their halls
with the nature and opportuni-
ties of thecounselingministers.

After discussion of this
year's Religious Emphasis
Week it seems that it would
be more effective with grea-
ter student participation and
preparation. Increased oppor-
tunities to talk with the spea-
ker by diverse groups of peo-
ple seem to be warranted.

By continuing the present
programs and maintaining its
flexibility Christian Associa-
tion could help the individual
student to growth and thought.
This growth is necessary if his
religious faith is to be a vital
viable part of his life. These
programs are attempts to sti-
mulate this growth. Any sug-
gestions or ideas would be wel-
comed by the new Cabinet.

Book Review

Miss Jean Brodie Not
Uniqueln Her Prime

Editor's note: The Prime of Miss
Jean Brodie was seriously con-
sidered for the orientation book
this year.

Miss* Brodie was not unique
at the point of her prime with
which the book deals; "There
were legions of her kind dur-
ing the nineteen thirties, wo-
men from the age of thirty and
upward who crowded their war-
bereaved spinster - hood with
voyages of discovery into new
ideas and energetic practices in
art or social welfare, education
or religion." She was unique
in that she taught at stuffy, re-
spectable Marcia Blain's
School for Girls, inhabited by
the daughters of Edinburgh fas-
hion, and by authorities with
Calvin in their smiles.

Miss Brodie was orthodox in
nothing but romanticism. She
had lost* a lover on Flanders
Field, had achieved a personal
Renaissance in Italy on Holiday,
and she fully intended that the
small group of girls she fa-
vored should benefit from her
prime. She was at Marcia Blain,
she clarified, to discharge her
office as "the leaven in the
lump!' Antagonism between
Miss Brodie and headmistress
Mackay was inevitable,for their
two concepts of education dif-
fered radically (L rp^ix, root).

Intrusion

According to Miss Brodie,
Miss Mackay' s theory of tea-
ching was one of intrusion, from
the Latin verb trudo (I thrust).
It was the intrusion of useless
material that did not belong in

will probably come via this or-
ganization. When it is support-
ed by informed and interested
students, sparked by alert and
capable members, and spear-
headed by able and competent
officers, Rep Council makes
progress and does not dis-
solve into a stagnant talkathon.

The success of the Student
Government Association and
thus of every student at this
college depends to a great ex-
tent on the effectiveness and
activity of the "striking arm"
Rep Council and on the eager-
ness and willingness of those
involved to work. The Secre-
tary should fulfil the written
obligations of her job and at
the same time not neglect her
opportunities as member and
scribe. In addition, she should
serve and help the Council Pre-
sident, Vice - President, and
Treasurer to insure effective
governmental operation.

The Secretary should be re-
liable, thorough, and efficient,
and she should be able to write
capably. But to be effective
the Secretary of Student Go-
vernment should be more than
an animated pen. In many cases
she is the connection between
the students and their govern-
ment; often she links the Agnes
Scott students and government
to the world of which we are
both a part and apart. She func-
tions both within and beyond
Representative Council.

I wish to do my part for and
with the Agnes Scott Student
Government Association, if the
students want me to work. I
would like to serve Agnes Scott
and her students as Secretary
of the Student Government in
accordance with the conceptions
of the job which I have ex-
pressed in this article.

a girl's head. Miss Brodie's
own theory was rather that
suggested by educo., to lead
out what was already in the
pupil's soul, "Give me a girl
at an impressionable age," she
would say," and she is mine
for life."

What Muriel Spark explores
in the story is the effect of
Miss Brodie's molding of her
little girls, "the creme de la
creme," into her own stamp
and cut. Her medium for this
exploration is the mental and
spiritual raction to the pure-
sure of Miss Brodie that ab-
sorbs Sandy, the most precep-
tive girl in the Brodie Set.

The story is told in retro-
spect, and Sandy has become
Sister Helena of the Transfig-
uration. She has lately been
besiged by newsmen and psy-
chologists as a result of the
appearance of her startling psy-
chological treatise, TheTrans-
figuratLon of the Commonplace.

Crucial Title

This title is crucial not only
as an indication of Spark's own
method of disclosure, but also
for the reason that it provides
one with the illuminaton nec-
essary to define an implicit se-
paration between the wavering
line of the narrative, and the
straight line of Sandy's psy-
chical interpretation, which to-
gether impart to the novel a
metaphysical significance. San-
dy's imagination was quite as
vivid as that of Miss Jean Bro-
die, but her imaginative world
was merely a pasttime to keep
her from boredom. Miss Bro-
die lived her world.

Sandy's orthodoxy was real-
ism, not in the sense of the
acceptance of the world as it
is, but through her power to
define the moral significance of
its events. She perceived that
Miss Brodie was the head of a
spiritually knit body of which
the little girls were only the
members, serving Miss Bro-
die's selfish needs, acting as
pawns in the realization of Miss
Brodie's idealized pattern of
her prime.

Sanely, with her insight, was to
be Miss Brodie's spy and inter-
preter. But the resentment that
generated in Sandy as a result
of Miss Brodie's penetration in-
to her very will had hardened
into a massive intellectual ha-
tred. In an examination of such
hatred, one's thoughts are fun-
neled toward a consideration of
guilt and its opposite.

Intellectual Hatred

It is not until intellectual
hatred is driven out, Yeats
says, that "The world reco-
vers radical innocence." What
strikes one is the genuine in-
nocence of Miss Brodie. Sandy
had never been innocent. Sandy
"betrays" Miss Brodie to Miss
Mackay as having fascist sen-
timents, and Miss Brodie is
prematurely retired. The be-
trayal, and Miss Brodie will
call it by no other name, ab-
sorbs her for the rest of her
life, just as Miss Brodie con-
tinues to absorb Sister Helena
of the Transfiguration.

Muriel Spark does not elu-
cidate upon the meaning of San-
dy's transfiguration, nor does
she advocate the union-in-ten
si on of Brodie romanticism and
Sandy's piercing metaphysic of
moral determination. The im-
plication remains that a guilt
exists which must be driven to
\iolent reaction when it con-

fronts the excessive lack of
guilt of a Miss Jean Brodie.

What Sister Helena knows
is that the entire Brodie Set
had partaken of the absolution
Miss Brodie had assumed to
herself. "It was twenty-five
years before Sandy had so far
recovered from a creeping vi-
sion of disorder that she could
look back and recognize that
Miss Brodie's defective sense
of self-criticism had not been
without its beneficient and en-
larging effects; by which time
Sandy had already betrayed
Miss Brodie and Miss Brodie
was laid in her grave."

What Muriel Spark has done
is to inform the novel with a
motion that supersedes mere
action, a prolongation of the
concern with events that are
disclosed in the first part of
the book. Because the motion is
suspended, one can (and must)
interpret it with increasing ex-
actitude and a broadening ap-
prehension of what is being re-
vealed.

Of course the book can be
seen on an immediate level, and
is not so unsubtle as to yield
anywhere near its full richness
without close scrutiny. However,
the development of the charac-
ters through themselves, which
is the most efficacious method
Spark uses to suspend the pro-
gression of events, has quite
felicitous results on any level,
and one cannot easily resist the
charm of a barrage of enlight-
ened and unorthodox opinions
of Miss Jean Brodie in her
prime.

first of a number of distinguished speakers participating in the
symposium on the American city this week.

Youth Leaders Meet,
Call For Draft Shaft

WASHINGTON, D.C. Feb. 5(CPS)-- Seventeen youth leaders,
representing the political spectrum from the left-wing Students
for a Democratic Society (SDS) to the right-wing Young Ameri-
cans for Freedom (YAF), today called for abolition of the draft
and the creation of new programs for voluntary national ser-
vice.

They charged that "the pre-
sent draft system with its in-
herent injustices is incompa-
tible with traditional American
principles of individual free-
dom within a democratic socie-

ty."

The meeting marked thefirst
time that such a diverse group
had reached agreement on a
statement of major policy. Al-
though the participants signed
the statement as individuals, it
was expected that most of the
organizations represented
would adopt the position taken.
These organizations must meet
in convention to adopt state-
ments of official policy.

In introducing the conference
statement, Sherman B. Chicke-
ring, the publisher of Moderator
magazine, stated. "No one in

The most important factor in
determining the success of A. A.
in '67-'68 is the selection of
its board members. It is es-
sential that an A.A. member be
proficient in her particular
area, but it is even more im-.
portant that she be able to work
well with a group, that she have
the enthusiasm to experiment,
and that she enjoy her work.
I would like to help choose such
board members.

The President of A.A. has an-
other important function - her

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5
role as a leader. In directing
the meetings, in setting up com-
mitties, and in the individual
relationships with board mem-
bers, the President plays a vi-
tal part in establishing the at-
mosphere of the meeting and in
determining the attitudes of the
board members. The work of the
board needs to be more evenly
distributed.

As President of A.A., I would
set up standing committees for
the year. This should divide the
work more evenly as well as
provide an opportunity for
members to work together. In
addition, there needs to be a clo-
ser tie between the class cheer-
leaders and spirit chairmen and
A.A. Perhaps the spirit com-
mittee should meet with the
board once a month.

Along these same lines, I
think it would be beneficial for
the officers to meet with Miss
Cox every two weeks to discuss
problems and plans. But it is
also important that the power
does not become concentrated
in these four people. By becom-
ing acquainted with each of the
board members individually, I
think a President can encourage
more honest discussion and
participation among all board
members. Instead of putting to-
gether three or four heads at
A.A. meetings, it should put
together twenty-one .

In general, I hope that I can
help make A.A. an effective, vi-
tal organization -improving the
opportunities and facilities of
the sports areas but also pro-
viding additional involvement
for the less sports minded stu-
dents. I want to improve, to ex-
pand, and to experiment. And
I hope that I will not forget
that A.A. is also fun - that
it should continue to be fun,
and that it should spread fun.

government seems aware of how
widespread and deep runs the
resentment toward the draft
among young people."

Chickering, whose magazine
sponsored the meeting, said
government officials did not
realize "that the country is in
danger of losing the loyalty of
an entire generation of Ameri-
cans." He suggested that Pre-
sident Johnson's State of the
Union address "didn't have a
word for young people on any
subject."

In calling for a program of vo-
luntary national service, the
conference participants said,
"An urgent need exists within
our society for young people
to become involved in the eli-
mination of such social ills as
ignorance, poverty, racial dis-
crimination and war."

Cickering anounced the
creation of a Student Serving
Society to act as a registry
of individuals willing to serve
voluntarily to correct social
problems. A 50-cent fee will
be charged to help maintain
the registry.

The magazine hopes that at
least 500,000 students will en-
rol in the program "to total
up the individual commitments
to serve, and to make known
the willingness of thouands of
students to serve their socie-

ty."

One of the signers of the
statement, Joseph Higdon, Sou-
thern recruitment director for
the Peace Corps, commented
that as a southerner he saw
voluntary national service "as
a means of uniting the South
with the rest of the country on
a basis other than militarism."

Viewing "service as the way
and volunteeringas the means,"
Higdon said he came to the mee-
ting "with Ferlinghetti, the
poet, to say that I am 'waiting
for the American Eagle to
spread its wings and straighten
up and fly right'."

Most of the organizations re-
presented at the meeting are
members of the United States
Youth Council (USYC), which
will stage a national meeting
duscussing voluntary service
in Washington early in March.

In a related event earlier in
the week, the National Student
Association (NSA) released the
results of a survey on the draft
representing the opinions of
100,000 college students across
the nation. Almost 80 per cent
of the individuals surveyed felt
that if conscription was neces-
sary, those chosen to serve
should be allowed to do so in
alternative areas such as the
Peace Corps, VISTA, or the
National Teachers Corps.

most vital step", according to
Sanders, is the creation of a
spirit of growth and progress.
There is an urgent need for
public support and "grass
roots" support in order for
any government to be an effic-
ient organ. There must also be
cooperation between city and
state government, for the "cen-
tral cities are locked in*' as
was shown so well in Sandy
Springs' recent refusal to be an-
nexed to the city of Atlanta.

Following the lecture, Gover-
nor Sanders answered questions
at a reception in the Rebekah
Recreation Room.

Also on the opening program
was Decatur Mayor Jack Ham-
ilton who pointed out that De-
catur is really the heart of
Atlanta. One-third of the met-
ropolitan population lives in De-
catur and DeKalb County. Ham-
ilton, who was also on the panel
Wednesday afternoon, termed
Agnes Scott "Decatur's great-
est and proudest asset" and
announced that in seven years
Scott students will be able to
step on rapid transit trains and
ride to Atlanta in six minutes.

"Why should a child be
punished because he's born poor
and he's born black? Where is
the justice in that?" asked com-
munity organizer Hector Black

Black
lived

Vine City since 1965 in con-
nection with a Quaker House
program.

Black pointed out that the
child is being punished, and
asked where the responsibility
lies. He sees everyone as re-
sponsible for the poverty that
exists in Atlanta and in the na-
tion.

It has become fashionable to
be concerned about the poor, he
said, but what is needed is "a
real concern for what's hap-
pening in our own city as a be-
ginning point for all of us."

He feels that the situation is
getting worse in Atlanta if any-
thing. He cited examples of
abuse by the police "and just
about everybody," failure to in-
spect houses, inferior schools,
lack of playgrounds and quick
eviction.

He and the Vine City resi-
dents have often worked through
the proper channels for such
thing as building inspection and
playgrounds to no avail. "We
got nothing through the proper
channels," he said. "It's really
self-defeating."

In such cases they have stag-
ed demonstrations and picket-
ing order to feel that they were
not just sitting by. These me-
thods proved somewhat more
effective, but "we didn't en-
joy it," he said.

Black has a rather low opin-
ion of current governmental
welfare programs. He calls the
present method of administer-
ing welfare "a fraud."

The war on poverty has suc-
ceeded little more. "It's almost
exclusively a professional ap-
proach," he said.

"People come in and say to
poor man, 'We know your pro-
blems, little man, and this is
what to do about it.' No one
ever takes the time or has the
respect for the poor man to ask
him what he thinks he needs."

He pointed out that many
houses have been torn down for
the new auditorium and stadium
and that houses are being con-

demned daily while the resident
have no where to go. The public
housing substituted is usually
far out of their price range and
imposes many regulations.

"You can't expect people to
take it year after year," he said.
"There is a change coming.
It's a pity we haven't awakened
fast enough to meet it. We feel
that we don't have to do anything
personally; it will be taken care
of by a committee or govern-
ment."

He warned that there will be

Editor's Note: Michael Rags-

see Institute of Technology. He
is active in campus activities
being a member of the college
drama group, writing for the
school purlications, and work-
ing with aprogram to help the
children of poverty areas of
the Applachian Mountain region.
He is also on the debate team,
and while attending the All-

several Scon girls. Itwas prin-
ted in one of the college publi-
cations in December, 1966, and
greatly endangered his grades;
one of his teachers almost fail-

It is a tragic chain of events
when educational institutions
put more emphasis upon class
attendence than upon the know-
ledge to be gained from the
attendance of those classes;
notwithstanding, this seems to
be the plague that is sweeping
our already crowded colleges

fers when he is honest! his QPA
falls. (Quality Point Average)

Many teachers feel that class
attendence is an important part
of the maturation process; stu-
dents should come to class with
little or no regard to how well
the lecture or lesson is pre-
pared. Consequently, class at-
tendence is an important factor
in determining grades which
are important if you want to
stay in school which is impor-
tant in our social structure if
you want a good job or want to
stay out of Vietnam.

My rebellious spirit concern-
ing class attendence is based
on the fo' lowing principles:

Many classes are required if
a student wants a diploma in a
certain field of study. Many
students are already familiar
with the curriculum content in
these required courses and
could better utilize their time

by pursuing new avenues of
learning.

Teachers should not expect
students on a university level
to attend classes where the
teacher is inadequately pre-
pared.

My theory is that the good
teacher will not have to worry
about class attendence since
he will be able to postively
motivate and provide an atmos-
phere conductive to learning;
the mediocre to poor teacher
will put emphasis upon class
attendence to rationalize away
his own failures in the class-
room situation.

The core of the problem lies
in the fact that too many tea-
chers and too many students
have established the QPA as
Baal. Have you been worship-
ping idols lately?

When the cafeteria begins to
pall on you, and Jimmy's and
P by C are out of the question
financially, do you ever begin
to wish for a home-cooked
meal.?

Sixteen girls in Scott's now
famous S&W (i.e. Steak at Wal-
ters), revived their almost for-
gotten domestic qualities and
evolved the idea of a dorm din-
ing in.

Chris Pence, the instigator of
it all, explained in this way,
"We all had to relieve the ten-
sions of eating roast beef every
night and short of mass deser-
tion, this was the nearest we
could get to a home-cooked
meal." The whole hall im-
mediately approved the idea
and set to work on it. Chris,
with a shopping delegation,
raided downtown Decatur and
bore back such trophies as
steak, frozen peas, noodles and
cake mixes.

Another stalwart group un-
der the direction of Linda Rod-
en, cajoled the cafeteria into
lending the necessary silver-

by Kay Parkerson

ware and glasses, while we
supplied the paper plates.

Refusing all offers of help
and advice from the hall, Chris
cooked the meal while simul-
taneously holding off the down-
stair's book worms near Wal-
ter's basement kitchen.

Bringing the food up in the
elevator, she managed to arouse
the whole dorm by the smell of
steak drifting through Walter's
stout walls.

The location of the meal was
also a problem. Since the tab-
les and chairs had been set up
in the hall, everyone getting
off the elevator to go to supper
came face to face with sixteen
girls heartily eating by candle-
light to the strains of Andy
Williams. After hungrily eying
the steaks, they muttered and
trudged valiantly off to supper.

The food was delicious and
Lynn Birch summed up the
feelings of all by saying, "It
was well worth the time spent;
the break in routine and change
of food did us all good."

Randy Jones was all in favor
of having one again soon, may-
be on Valentine's Day. "It
demonstrated the closeness of
the hall," she said, "and
helped us all to relax before
exams, which is what we need-
ed."

Several girls enthusiastically
started planning a dorm cater-
ing service until the seven
o'clock bell abruptly called
them to other pursuits.

off year after year.

So if you're in school now . . . stay there 1 Learn
all you can for as long as you can. If you're out of
school, there are plenty of ways to get valuable
training outside the classroom.

City Symposium Provokes
FavorableStudentReaction

The recent symposium on the city has provoked discussion both on and oti the Agnes Scott cam-
pus. A great deal of this reaction has been geared to particular speakers. The PROFILE has
attempted to draw together this reaction to "The Conscience of a Blackened Street" as a week
of programs.

Student opinion for the most part has been favorable. Junior Debbie Gupril feels that the sym-
posium ^''provided a great opportunity for the school. "We've lived in a big city like Atlanta, but
we haven t seen it all. We've been restricted to the baseball stadium, shopping centers, and movies.
A tew people here have worked in such places as Vine City."

She went on to say that in the
symposium "we've had opin-
ions of people who are actively
involved in the city's develop-
ment so naturally they have
more insight than we do. After
the symposium, I feel I know a
little more of what goes on be-
hind the city instead of what you
see on the surface."

Freshman Betsy Brewer con-
curred when she said, "I had
never thought about these as-
pects of the city before, but
now I'm more aware of cities'
problems and am more able to
evaluate future proposals
regards to it."

For some, the week fit
very well with what they
been studying. Junior Nonnie
Carr remarked that "we had
just gone over the city in socio-
logy, so I could relate what I
had learned in class. I liked
it all."

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are
those of the majority of the editorial staff. They do not necessari-
ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body.

Election Reflection

The time has come to examine another
Agnes Scott tradition, this one two years
old secret scratching on the election bal-
lot. Nominees are now required to notify
the president of Mortar Board that they are
not planning to run before the list of can-
didates is announced, and the public knows
only those who decided to run.

We think it is very important to know who
has decided not to run. For two reasons.

Many more people were nominated for
some offices than are actually running. It
is important that the student body know that
the regular nominating committee or the
Publications Board committee thought that
more than the one or two people on the final
ballot were qualified.

Secondly, voters should know the choices
made by the people they are voting on. A
student may have been nominated for many
high positions and declined to run for them
in favor of a less prestigious job she really
wants to do.

Scratching was made secret because
nominees were waiting to see who was run-
ning against them and what their chances
were of beating them. The situation is re-
grettable but true.

We have the proverbial happy medium to
recommend, however. We suggest that in
the future nominees decline to run in secret
to one person, Mortar Board president or
whomever, but that the full list of nomina-
tions be posted, with all names scratched
out save those people actually running for
the offices.

Such reduced secrecy will help communi-
cation between student government and the
electorate and give the latter a more mean-
ingful basis for voting.

Symposium

Hearty congratulations to everyone who
had anything to do with the symposium on
the American city held last week. It was
terrific.

Perhaps the most remarkable thing about
the program was that it was planned and run
by students. And it was not only a large
undertaking but a successful one.

We found that the types of people includ-
ed provided a beneficial balance; they were
different from each other and from people
at Agnes Scott.

It would be hard to select one highpoint
of the three-day program. Perhaps the
highpoint is the way each participant feels
now, having heard and digested all the
varied views and plans and lack of plans and
optimism and defeat.

We have no illusions that anyone here has
come to understand, much less solve, any
of the problems of the city. But now we
have an idea of them that we never before
dreamed maybe. And, as several speakers
pointed out, exposure and contact is one of
the great problems of urban society.

There were, of course, facets of the pro-
gram more to the point than others, but we
regret no part of it. We congratulate Bar-
bara Dowd and the committee that worked
so hard for so long. And we hope that
this meaningful program can be continued
in the future.

The question of whether William String-
fellow had the right to be a well-paid guest
at Agnes Scott and use the opportunity to
attack her publicly is probably irrelevant.

I tend to believe that his remarks about
the "little controversy" were not only
"unfavored" but uncalled for and unjustified.
Nevertheless, I am not here to refute what
he said; I think the insubstantiality and ob-
scureness of almost all his remarks on any-
thing do that nicely without my assistance.

I am far from regretful that he came and
spoke, though I think I could number on about
two or three fingers the clear, sensible
points he made about the self and the city,
his assigned topic and one which he finally
managed to mention.

The real value of his visit is that we saw
the obvious fact that he has only doom, and
no answers, to expound like the Old Testa-
ment prophet I believe he thinks he is. We
were thereby stimulated to see what is wrong
with him and to realize there must be another
way, even if we cannot point to it clearly yet,
and to see the beginnings of a direction.

I don't like people who are only negative.
I didn't like Stringfellow because he was not
positive enough even to state definitely what it
is he's so negative about.

Furthermore, it seems to me that he is
reaping great benefits from the society he
hates so much and which he apparently wants

to destroy. I cannot accept the words of any-
one like that.

While I recognize that Hector Black's was
a one-sided view of the city, I can listen to
what he says about it: he is in the middle of
it and is trying to do something about the
problems. 1 see nothing of this in String-
fellow and therefore he has no right to talk
to me about the city as a symbol of death.

Speaking of one-sided viewpoints, I think
the politicians were the best group included
simply because they are so blind to many
things and so optimistic. Agnes Scott students
are isolated from the world in general, often
through their own blindness, but they are
isolated most from politics. People likeCarl
Sanders and Ivan Allen turn them off because
Agnes Scott students are idealistic and com-
pletely out of touch with the everyday facts
of political and governmental-administrative
reality. To hear people from that far-off
realm was extremely beneficial, despite the
frequently unfavorable reaction from stu-
dents.

The entire symposium was excellent, but
very likely inclusion of the politicians did the
most to acquaint students with the facts of
the world with which they must someday cope.

MOCKINGS FROM RAMONA

Dear Mom,

Sorry to be so tardy in my
correspondence, but it's been a
busy week.

Spring vacation was quite
nice. I got a ride north with
Anne Hutton and Linda Marks.
In Abingdon, we stopped by to
see Stella Dickinson Harrington
Dickinson. We had a wonderful
visit and I complimented heron
her articles in the Abingdon
News, which I read as does
every other well-informed per-
son.

She especially liked Marks'
leopard skin boots.

I went on to New York and
managed to get lost in Penn
Station. I wandered upstairs
hoping to see Zorro. After wait-
ing three hours, I realized the
new Madison Square Gardens
isn't built yet.

After that I began to wend my
way south and got as far as
New Jersey. I visited the Bene-
dicts who were having a party
in celebration of Binkie's en-
gagement. I really impressed
the girls from Vassar and Rad-
cliff with my jitterbug.

The bus trip to r'ort Lauder-
dale was divine, except that I
was stuck in the bathroom for a
day and a half.

Once on the beach. I prompt-
ly climbed a tree to get a co- -
conut to bring to Mr. Tumblin.
Well, the police thought I was
trying to start a riot and threw
me into jail.

I wondered why the standby
lines were so short when I
tried to fly to California. I
guess everyone went home dur-
ing that week I spent in jail.

I visited my old friends Mary

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Smith
Defends

Stringfellow

Dear Editor,

In regard to Mr. Stringfel-
low's recent lecture here at
Scott, I think it has brought about
some constructive as well as
destructive results. I strongly
disliked his condescending and
dogmatic attitude, and I think
that this has led to the destruc-
tive result of students reject-
ing all that he said as being
merely "sound and fury." To
the extent that we do this, we
are meeting the problems in-
volved with a closed and de-
fensive attitude that, in my
estimation, is no better than
the attitude which was pre-
sented to us. I would hope
our criticisms (or worse yet,
our rejection) of Mr. String-
fellow's lecture are not born out
of our hurt pride or ad hominem
arguments.

The constructive results
which Mr. Stringfellow's lec-
ture has had and continues to
have include his emphasis on the
much needed physical planning
of the "accessible city" which
helps to mend men's souls, and
his "gratuitous" comment on
the hiring policy which I think
uncovered a crucial issue: the
existence of a "Christian Col-

lege." Can we justify its per-
petuation?

Does, in fact, the Christian
faith have an obligation to per-
petuate such humanizing tools
as the poverty programs, edu-
cation, inner city work, etc.,
as tools which are distinctively
and exclusively Christian?
These and other questions can
be formulated from Mr. String-
fellow's lecture to yield a valid
position for inquiry. Hopefully,
we students will react to Mr.
Stringfellow with an honest and
open evaluation and not reject
his whole argument just because
we do not agree with a part of
it or do not like the way in
which it was said.

Sincerely,
Susan W. Smith

Brown and Joan Kiker at Stan-
ford. Unfortunately I missed
Debbie Rosen, who was back at
Scott helping Kathey Stubbs in
some sort of grocery cart pro-
ject.

I must tell you about my ad-
venture the other evening. 1
took a little after-dinner walk
with Betty Butler and Virginia
Russell. We wandered about in
the woods near the observatory
and found this wonderful little
ticket with several paths
through it.

We took the road less travel-
ed by and it turned out to be
something less than a road.
We proceeded, however, warn-
ing off the snakes Bill Cosby
fashion.

We made it through and into
"a crowd, a host of golden daf-
fodils," which I immediately
announced. The others were
bursting into "Lara's Theme."

Little did we know we had
stumbled into the yard of Mic-
hael J. Brown, associate pro-
fessor of history. He suddenly
arose, sprung from the earth
as it were, and demanded,
"Who's quoting poetry in my
woods?"

He then repeated our entire
conversation, rather to our dis-
advantage. We had a lovely chat
with him and Mrs. Brown, and
dog, however, before wending
our way through the woods back
to campus. They're all so neat.

I was disappointed not to be
elected treasurer of C.A., but
I do consider it an honor to
run. Not everyone in my posi-
tion would be nominated.

Love,

Ramona

Watkins Spends Vacation
Preaching At Lauderdale

Louise Watkins is one of many Agnes Scott students returning from spring vacation with a sun
tan acquired at some lively beach. But she is one of the few who did not go to the beach primarily
for the tan and the male companionship it could attract.

The ASC senior was one of 80 students who journeyed to Fort Lauderdale as an Intervarsity
team to "tell people about Christ." Most of the students were from the Northern schools, but
there was a boy from Emory and one from Georgia Tech.

April First Out Of
Ordinary For Kline

by PTamona Cartwright

One perspective student and

Saturday, April 1. A day like
any other day. What could go
wrong on such a beautiful spring
day? Plenty if you happen to be
C. Benton Kline, dean of the
faculty.

Second Main juniors kept
alive the memory of his widely-
acclaimed performance as Po-
lynesia the Parrot in "Dr. Do-
little Goes to India," the fa-
culty skit given at Junior Jaunt.

Xhe girls, most of them green
to the elbow all week ("I gave
blood," quipped Peggy Moore.),
decorated Mr. Kline' office in
authentic jungle style. Palm
leaves hung from the ceiling and
draped all three desks, ants
crawled across the ceiling,
ducks (I'm told they we re ducks)
swam on a pond, and all the
Dr. Doolittle characters looked
right at home.

Several observors had the
gall to suggest that the office
looked no messier than usual
- only greener perhaps.

The tropical decor did not
stop Mr. Kline from interview-
ing job candidates and talking
with students as usual. The
younger brothers of a perspec-
tive student discovered the jun-
gle, to their delight, and one,
around four years old, spoke
"very learnedly," says Mr.
Kline, about all the Doolittle
characters.

Trouble was not over for the
hardworking dean, however, A
group of unknown vandals (ru-
mor has it they were seniors
and not exactly unknown) put into
effect a plot hatched in a smoke-
filled backroom (the LDH) dur-
ing last quarter's exams.

The result was that Mr.
Kline's sickly - yellow Opel
moved from his reserved park-
ing place to the middle of the
quadrangle and was replaced by
a bicycle.

The dean received word of the
event when Bertie Bond, secre-
tary to President Wallace
Alston, slipped him an adminis-
trative offices envelop ad-
dressed "BEN" containing a
photograph of the car in the
middle of the quad. The picture
was taken with an unidentified
Polaroid camera by a photogra-
pher from an unnamed big-time
newspaper.

Word spread quickly along
first Buttrick and workers
poured out of administrative
offices to look and, we must
confess, laugh.

At last the owner himself
appeared. He approached a
group of seniors innocently sun-
bathing byRebekah annex and
announced, "I didn't know we
had a race of Amazons."

Complimented on his new
means of transportation, the
bicycle, he replied, "Yes, my
wife has been trading for one."

student

her parents walked around the
car and examined it closely,
apparently thinking it was for
sale.

The car stayed in its parking
spot until late Saturday when
Mr. Kline and one of the can-
didates got in, drove down the
walk under the tree, bounced
down the curb, and disappear-
ed in a cloud of dust.

Anyone with information
leading to the capture of those
guilty of the crime against the
car are asked to contact this of-
fice.

FOR SALE? OR IS THE PARKING
PROBLEM SUDDENLY WORSE?
Neither, just April Fool.

The Intervarsity Young People
held two "open forums" daily
on the beach under the two un-
brellas which they had as head-
quarters. The programs began
with some folk singing to attract
the interest of the crowd. There
would follow a speaker discuss-
ing some issue in the church
today. After about a ten minute
speech, he would open the floor
(or beach) for discussion.

The role of the young people
there was, as Louise says, to
engage in conversations with the
vacationing students and ap-
proach them on a personal lev-
el. So far as she knows, there
was "no condemnation of the
drinking or other activities go-
ing on there."

Louise estimates the usual
crowd at the forums as between
75 and 125. But she points out
that even when there was no one
who was there specifically to
listen, there were always at
least 50 people within hearing
distance.

When asked about the re-
sponse of the crowds, Louise
explained that it ranged from
that of the "fellow who accep-
ted Christ right on the beach"
to those who mocked and ask-
ed " 'Is this for real?' "

She was amazed, however, at
two things, in particular her
reaction and that of the other
students. "My reaction was
one of surprise that I could do
it and that the Lord really used
me in a situation like that. It
wasn't me speaking."

As for the reaction of the
others, Louise was amazed that
most of them were interested
in discussing Christianity if
not in accepting it. She found
out that it is really "an im-

portant, vital subject to stu-
dents today."

Asked about the long-range
effects of such a program,
Louise emphasized the fact
that for those who had accepted
Christ, contact would not be lost
for there is an Intervarsity

chapter on almost every Ameri-
can college campus. She be-
lieves that the deciding factor,
however, is the "intent in the
person's heart. It is up to the
Lord whether or not he re-
mains with his commitment."

Sigma Chi's Invite All
To Derby Day Tun'

Attention SportsFans:
Knockahoma KeturnsR e( j

by Susan Aikman

Have you ever seen a "derby
steal" or a "zipper strip"?
What about a Ibamboo ram-
ble"? Well, the Sigma Chi fra-
ternities from GeorgiaTech and
Emory are combining forces
to demonstrate these and other
events. The participants in the
contests will be the feminine
side of Tech and Emory plus
the gals from Agnes Scott and
Georgia State College.

The occasion is the second
annual ' 'De rby Day , " a tradition
of Sigma Chi's throughout the
nation* Friday, April 14 has
been established for the "derby
steal". . .each women's group
has to get as many black der-
bies from Sigma Chi brothers as
time will allow. The group with
the most derbies wins the eve nt.

Saturday will fea-

ture the Miss Derby Day beau-
ty contest. The contest begins
at 1 p.m. in the Alumnae Me-
morial Building at Emory. Field
events will take place after-
wards on the Athletic Field.

What is the purpose of all the
schools combining to celebrate
this momentous day? Well, one
Sigma Chi brother expressed it
this way. . ."It ought to help the
colleges know each other bet-
ter I" Y'mean we really need
to know each other better??! 1
Last year, the first annual
Derby Day, Agnes Scott's class
of '69 captured first place.

"Fighting teams Falcons,
Braves get our screams."

Yes, Scotties, know that it is
that wonderful, marvelous, ex-
citing, and vital time of year
again. No, not elections.

The Braves come home Fri-
day from their spring exhibition
season in Florida's Grapefruit
League to play three exhibi-
tion games with the American
League's Minnesota Twins
(whom the Braves beat last
weekend 4-2, and 6-1.)

Sq for the first time since
September 28, Scotties have
a chance to see their Braves
in Atlanta. Three enthusiastic
fans availed themselves of the
opportunities of being in West
Palm Beach and watched the
Braves beat their Richmond
farm club 4-3 during spring
vacation.

They observed that baseball
is a different game in Florida
than in Atlanta Stadium. In the
first place, the number of play-
ers substituted in the game just
about equaled the number of
fans in the stadium on that
Thursday afternoon.

And to top that off, the ones
who were there* with the ex-
ception of the loyal, sunburned
Scotties were for Richmond.
Two of the girls got a little
over-enthusiatic over the re-

lief pitcher for the Braves and
decided that the goal in Atlanta
this spring is to meet him. The
third Scottie the true baseball
fan was disgusted with his pit-
ching, but admits that he was
very good-looking. (The name
of the pitcher will remain a
secret to protect our sports
fans' interest.)

It is a real good thing that
no home runs were hit that af-
ternoon because Chief Knock-
a-homa was not in the sta-
dium. Neither was his tepee.
But it was worth the effort to
attend the game for in At-
lanta you could never walk out
of the stadium right next to the
players.

At any rate, the Braves will
open their regular season in
Houston next week and then on
April 13 they and Chief Knock-
a-Homr will be home for the
opener with San Francisco. The
game will be televised on the
Braves network so all sports
fans could take advantage of the
opportunity of seeing the Braves
and of waving at the cameras.

So if you hear your friends
walking around, humming the
Mexican hat dance, it would be
safe to assume that they have
been stretching during the se-
venth inning at Atlanta Stadium.

Blood Drive
Successful

The Red Cross blood drive,
held last Friday, netted 123
successful donors and no re-
ported faintings. This record
indicates that the drive
achieved its goal to get suf-
ficient participation to cover
emergency needs of any mem-
ber of the campus community
for the next year.

Eighteen participants were
students at the Columbia Theo-
logical Seminary. Another four
were Scott faculty members.
Fifteen would-be donors were
rejected for various reasons
ranging from low hemoglobin
counts to colds.

But all those who attempted
to participate felt thecause*vas
worth the effort. As one anony-
mous junior commented, "It's
a wonderful opportunity to DO
something to help someone
else."

place winner receives atrophy,
which is kept for one year.
However, if the same team wins
two years in succession, they
keep the trophy for their col-

French Club
Sponsors

Two Films

French Club will be spon-
soring two foreign films at
7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, April
12, in Room 207, Campbell.
Members of the Alliance Fran-
cais have been invited. The
films are "Marcel Marceau's
Pantomimes" and "Le Mariage
de Figaro." These two French
pieces have been selected to
appeal to the Agnes Scott com-
munity at large.

"Marcel Marceau's Pan-
tomimes" gains its effect from
the well known French come-
dian's artistic mimicry. Its
thirteen-minute length yields
a caricature of the comic ele-
ments of French perspective.

The second piece, "Le Mari-
age de Figaro," is a filming
of the 1784 comedy by Beau-
marchais. The film-play cap-
tures the revolutionary essence
of France at the turn of the
eighteenth century.

Classic comic devices are
employed as Beaumarchais
places the nobility in subservi-
ence to the lower class. The
action concerns a count's a-
morous advances toward Figa-
ro's bride - to - be. The farce
reaches its climax as the Coun-
tess switches roles with the
servant girl in an attempt to
snare her lecherous spouse, the
Count.

Things Go Better
At Scott In

by Susan Aikman

Spring

I walked down the hall in Butt-
rick yesterday and everyone I
passed smiled at me. At first
I had trouble figuring out why.

Sure I had turned on my Pep-
sodent smile, but that didn't
bring any reaction until recent-
ly. I had just finished a Coke,
but things hadn't gone this much
better in ages.

Still puzzled, I stepped out-
side and all of a sudden, I
realized the reason for the
drastic transformation in peo-
ple around here. IT'S SPRING!

Spring quarter has a way of
doing things like that to people.
The dogwoods are in bloom; the
tulips are showing up all over
campus; and people's personal-
ities are even showing their
good side.

Well, why not? Seniors are
practice teaching or taking their
last courses. Graduation, which
so long has seemed unreal, is
suddenly taking on a definite
shape. The future is different
and exciting whether certain
or uncertain.

As if that weren't enough,
senior officers are turning over

their tasks to enthusiastic jun-
iors for whom spring quarter
is their big chance. So junior
smiles are produced not only
by beautiful weather and a new
quarter, but also by the fact
that this is election week soon
it will be their school.

Sophomore slump is coming
to a definite culmination just
wait till they get those rings
on their fingers. They will
soon be upperclassmen with un-
limited social engagements.
Besides - THEY HAVE CARS.

And as for freshmen, it hard-
ly needs to be said that spring
quarter means the termination
of their lowly status. Next
year, they will be looked up to,
asked advice, and hold more
student government responsi-
bility.

So to members of all the
classes here at Agnes Scott,
there is a special reason for
smiling at people during spring
quarter. People who like spring
like people.

A RIBBON-DECKED HUB GREETED CANDIDATES AND VOT-
ERS at the Hub Razzle preliminary to elections last week. The
electorate questioned and aspirants answered about issues and
plans.

'Man For All Seasons 9
More Than Just Movie

by Beth Herring

"A Man for All Seasons" is
something more than just a
movie. It is an intensely mov-
ing experience to those who are
at all receptive. Less violent
than "Dr. Zhivago" and less
romantic than "The Sound of

BlackfriarsProduce'Liliom
Under Direction Of Green

Friday, April 21 and Saturday, April 22, Blackfriars will present its spring production

"Liliom" by Ferenc Molnar. Evening performances will begin at 8:15 p.m. in the Dana Fine Arts
Building and there will be a matinee, Saturday at 2:30 p.m. All seats are reserved and tickets
cost $1.25 and will go on sale at thebox officeApril 10.

Elvena M. Green of the Speech ancf Drama Department is directing the play and Jerry Rentz,

rehearsals and work on techni-
cal aspects of the show began
in February. During the weeks

also of the department, is the designer and technical director.

In speaking to a meeting of
, Blackfriars, Miss Green com-
mented that "Liliom" is one
of the most difficult shows
Blackfriars has ever attempted.
It involves six set changes and
has the largest cast of men
Blackfriars has ever used. The

entire cast is very large

thirty-four people including ex-
tras. There are a number of
women's roles for Agnes Scott
students.

Dan Santacroce, an Atlanta
businessman who has acted with
Theatre Atlanta, will play the
title role of Liliom. Carol
Anne McKenzie, an Agnes Scott
freshman, plays Julie, opposite
Mr. Santacroce as Liliom.

AA Brings
Softball
At Last

Both fall and winter quarters
have one major sport which is
emphasized. The spring term,
however, has at least three ac-
tivities to claim the attention of
students. Besides tennis, which
is oriented to individual par-
ticipation, volleyball and soft-
ball will share the season for
team sports.

Volleyball will occupy the
next three weeks. The first
games are scheduled for tomor-
row, April 7, in the afternoon.
The sophomores will take on the
freshmen at 4 p.m., and the
seniors will confront the jun-
iors at 4:45.

Volleyball manager Julie
Link states that three prac-
tices are required before the
first game and one before each
of the following two. The prac-
tice schedule has been posted
on the Athletic Association bul-
letin board in the mailroom.

The desire of students for
some form of Softball competi-
tion came to A.A.'s attention
about a year ago. Since that
time, A.A, has worked with the
physical education department
in arranging a schedule, rules
anti time limits for the games.
The phys. ed. staff will pro-
vide the needed equipment.

Following the last volley-
ball game on April 21, there
will be a week for the tran-
sition to Softball. During this
time, the hockey field will be
re-done in the latest Softball
style. In addition, students will
have a lengthy opportunity to
sharpen their batting abilities
and to work out the kinks in the
ol' pitchin' arm.

According to the latest in-
formation, the first Softball
game will be held Friday, May
5.

of spring quarter before the
show's opening, students in
Miss Green's Speech and Drama
140 class are working four
hours per week on the show in
addition to regular hours of
work put in by members of
Blackfriars.

"Liliom" is the stage play
of the musical "Carrousel."
"Liliom" was first produced
in Budapest in 1909 where it
was not well received. It was
revived, however, after World
War I and brought to the United
States. It was selected as one
of the best plays of the 1920-
21 Broadway season.

The name "Liliom" is a
translation of a Hungarian word
meaning "roughneck". The
man, Liliom, is a barker in
an amusement park. The play
is a mixture of reality and fan-
tasy with scenes on earth and
in heaven. It is subtitled "A
Legend in Seven Scenes and a
Prologue."

The play was selected to pro-
duce Dy a Blackfriars commit-
tee early in winter quarter from
a group ol other suggested plays
including "Anastasia," "The
Madwoman of Chaillot," and
"A Midsumer Night's Dream."

After the casting of the show,

Symposium

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
Most students questioned
commented on the variety of
speakers and thought that they
were well chosen. One senior,
who considered the speakers
fairly well balanced politically,
said that she was glad the week
ended on a negative note in con-
trast to the "optimistic" pic-
ture painted by Governor Sand-
ers.

Another suggested that since
this symposium was a success,
one on a "less controversial"
subject shoul d be attempted in
the future. She pointed out that
at some colleges there are lit-
erary symposiums with play-
wrights and authors as speak-
ers.

Sophomore Cheryl Bruce
thought that this symposium
was "well handled." "I was
absolutely thrilled with it, I
would like to see more like it.
It made the people think, and the
speakers were well chosen.'

Sally Elberfeld, a junior,
"enjoyed it very much, because
it had a variety of beneficial
speakers." She says she
"didn't always agree, but the
whole symposium was very in-
formative."

That seemed to the attitude
expressed by most about the
symposium^ ^

Music," the emotions dealt with
in "A Man for All Seasons"
are no less strong and compell-
ing, and are in many ways su-
perior.

The movie program de-
scribes the story as based on
the last seven years of the life
^ of Sir Thomas More, "focusing
on that dramatic moment when
a man can no longer compro-
mise with his conscience with-
out losing his soul." The con-
flict is, of course, Sir Thomas's
refusal to condone King Henry
VIII's divorce of Catherine of
Aragon and marriage to Anne
Boleyn %

The characters are power-
fully and individually portrayed,
and the personalities of the
actors in no way interfere with
those of the historical person-
ages, as tended to be the case
in "Becket," thus making it
easier to identify with the char-
acters in the story. The reason
for this may be that, with the
exception of Orson Welles, who
as Cardinal Wolsey appears in
only two scenes, none of the
stars have the kind of fame and
following that such stars as
Richard Burton and Peter
O'Toole have.

Two members of the famous
Redgrave family are present
in this film. Corin Redgrave
plays Sir Thomas's son-in-law,
William Roper; and his sister
Vanessa's three-minute ap-
pearance as Anne Boleyn though
without spoken lines, won her a
commendation in "Time." The
rest of the acting is of equal
quality.

As the story progresses, the
characters grow and expand,
revealing notably the develop-
ment of a martyr and that of a
villain, Richard Rich, a thor-
oughly weak being and Sir
Thomas's foil in every way.

On the surface the story may
appear to be one of the triumph
of evil in spite of all that good
can do, but there is, of course,
far more to it than that. There
is a depth and meaning to be
found in this drama that af-
fords a richly rewarding ex-
perience to the interested spec-
tator.

Destitute
Tennis Buffs
Wash Cars

by Evelyn Angelctti

Spring was just made for ten-
nis, or perhaps tennis was made
for spring. At any rate, the
two have gotten together this
quarter for several intercol-
legiate and intramural events.

Mississippi State College for
Women will be hosting the
Southern Women's Collegiate
Tournament, April 20-22. From
four to six Scott players will
represent the college but only
if sufficient funds can be rais-
ed to finance the trip.

Athletic Association will pay
registration and lodging fees for
the girls, approximately $50.
Transportation will cost an add-
ed $100. This amount the play-
ers themselves and their fel-
low members in the tennis club
hope to raise by sponsoring a
car wash this Saturday, April
8, in the afternoon. Tickets at
$1.50 per car will be sold in
the mailroom this afternoon
and tomorrow. The car wash
will be held in the parking lot
beside the tennis courts.

The girls feel the tourney is
well worth this effort. Some
of the top-ranking southern
players will compete and will
offer high-caliber tournament
experience. So buy a ticket, get
a clean car and send these needy
girls to Mississippi!

In other intercollegiate com-
petition, a team from Agnes
Scott travelled to the University
of Georgia yesterday for a
match. The outcome was not
available at the time this ar-
ticle went to press. Fall quar-
ter, however, Scott played
Georgia here and won.

Next Wednesday, April 12, a
team from West Georgia Col-
lege is scheduled to come here
for a match at 3 p.m. Specta-
tors are invited to come and
encourage the Scott players.

The finals of the singles tour-
nament, left over from fall
quarter, found freshman Ca-
mille Johnson the winner over
Ellen Richter, a junior. The
final score of the two-hour
match was 6-0, 2-6,6-4.

The Scott doubles tourna-
ment is scheduled to begin this
coming Monday, April 10. Lists
for signing up will be posted on
the A.A. bulletin board in the
mailroom. A.A. urges interest-
ed students to find a partner
and to see how well tennis and
spring go together.

Walters Tonight

Education Committee Moves
Into Dorms For Hearings

RING OUT THE OLD, RING IN THE NEW and all that sort of
thing. Old Judicial chairman Ellen Wood (1) starts taking her
belongings out of her office as the new chairman Gue Pardue
eagerly moves in. See story p. 4.

Seven New People
Fill Departments

Concerning a list of some new teachers hired for next year,
dean of the faculty, C. Benton Kline said, "These are seven first-
rate people." This list is partially complete with other appoint-
ments still to be announced ard some places to be filled. How-
ever, these appointments are in departments in which all open-
ings have been filled.

Carolyn Byrum has been
hired as an assistant profes-
sor of physical education in
dance to replace Molly Dotson.
Miss Byrum received her B.S.
and M.S. from the University of
Tennessee where she is cur-
rently assistant director of
dance. She has also studied in
summer sessions at Connecti-
cut College and Colorado Col-
lege.

A second appointment to the
physical education department
is Peggy Cox who will teach
here as an instructor. She was
head of girls' physical educa-
tion in a Mobile, Alabama, high
school after receiving her B.S.
from Mississippi State College
for Women. She is presently
an M.A.T. candidate at the Uni-
versity of North Carolina while
teaching part-time.

During the 1967-68 session
there will again be an exchange
professor from India. Urmila
Daniels will be a visiting lec-
turer in biology and will teach
an invertebrate zoology course
which was discontinued two
years ago. Miss Daniels is now
a lecturer in zoology at the
Isabelle Thoburn College in
Lucknow, India, and received
her B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees
from the University of Agra, In-
dia.

Erika H. Kockert is a native
German and has taught in sec-
ondary schools in Germany. She
will be an instructor in German
at Agnes Scott. Miss Kockert
earned a teaching certificate
from the Teacher's College,
Berlin, Germany, and is a can-
didate for the Ph.D. degree at
the University of Massachusetts
where she is presently a teach-
ing assistant. She has also
earned the equivalent of a B.A.
from Harvard University.

The first of two men in this
list of seven new faculty mem-

bers is Richard D. Perry who
will be an assistant professor
of philosophy. He has taught at
the University of South Caro-
lina for a year and is now a part-

Education committee hear-
ings in the dorms are begin-
ning this week with the program
scheduled for Walters tonight.

The education committee,
composed of faculty and stu-
dents, was begun last quarter.
Student body president Lynne
Wilkins wrote the faculty ask-
ing support for a study of edu-
cation at Agnes Scott and the
academic atmosphere on the
campus. A resolution to set up
the committee was passed by
both the faculty and Rep Coun-
cil.

The meeting tonight will be
in Walters basement at 7 p.m.
Questions have been collected
on the halls from Walters res-
idents and student chairman of
the committee Betty Derrick
has tried to pattern them for
the discussion.

The questions submitted will
not be answered one by one.
Rather, the committee will dis-
cuss the issues raised, some-
what in the manner of its usual
meetings.

Says Betty, "I thought we
could talk about the questions
and everyone on the committee
can make whatever comments
they wish. If people in the aud-
ience wish to, they can interject
questions, but I'd like to keep
that to a minimum."

The committee is moving to
the dorms, a suggestion which
was made last quarter, in an ef-
fort to tell and interest more
people in what it is doing.

"It's a newly formed com-

mittee," says Betty, "Stu-
dents do not know what sort of
things the committee discus-
ses. It's also a good way for
us to learn what students think
about the issues. We have lim-
ited access to student opinion,
especially freshmen opinion.
That's why we're going to Wal-
ters first."

The hearings will be in the
dorms because die groups of
people will be a reasonable size
and because, as one committee
member puts it, "It's impor-
tant to bring intellectual dis-
cussion into the living areas
where it is so often lacking."

Later in the quarter the com-
mittee will meet with the other
dorms and the cottages. To-
night's meeting will last about

an hour, so that the regular
business of the committee can
be carried on afterward.

Two proposals, pass-fail and
the study for a five-day week,
have already come out of the
new committee. It also gave
the impetus to a re-evaluation
of orientation.

Student members of the com-
mittee are Mary Chapman, Joy
Griffin, Ann Roberts, and Sally
Wood.

Faculty members are Joe
Frierson, Kathryn Click, chair-
man; Richard Hensel, Geral-
dine Merony, and Chloe Steel.

Student body president, first
Lynne Wilkins and now Zolly
Zollicoffer, and dean of the
faculty C. Benton Kline are ex
officio members.

British Law Authority
Lectures On Parliament

Arnold W. G. Kean, noted
British authority on law and
aviation will bea visitingschol-
ar in political science at Agnes
Scott, April 18-21. Mr. Kean
will speak on various subjects
to four history and government
classes Tuesday through Fri-
day, and will give a public lec-
ture Thursday, April 20, at 8: 15
p.m. in Maclean Auditorium.
His subject at this lecture will
be "The Queen and Parlia-
ment".

His four other talks will cover
"Separations of Powers and
Judicial Review in Great Brit-
ain", "Recent Changes in

Students Question Validity
Of T hree Elections'Results

Three separate disputes arose
over the validity of certain
votes taken in elections for stu-
dent government offices last
week.

The first controversy came
Tuesday over the election of
sophomore judicial representa-
tives. Freshmen had elected
one girl on the first ballot and
everyone thought elections were
over for the day. Then some-
one pointed out that there would
be no voting on Wednesday be-
cause of Phi Beta Kappa con-
vocation, and it would be much
easier to set up boards if the
other three freshmen for judi-
cial could be elected.

Says freshman class presi-
dent Sally Tucker, "People
were upset by having to vote so
quick for judicial. It was al-
ready 10 after 11 and it was
thought that people had already
left. And no one had the lists
to look at."

According to student body
president Lynne Wilkins the
first and second votes for
sophomore judicial were check-
ed and the difference in the to-
tals was not enough to merit
another ballot. The difference
might have affected the people
in the run-off, however. There-
fore, the three girls who had

been elected were kept as

by Ann Roberts

elected, but all the candidates
nominated were voted upon in
the runoff.

Lynne explained, "We let
everyone in the runoff for three
reasons. The freshmen were
disturbed that their elections
were jammed up. Maybe it is
not wise to go so fast and vote
on freshmen offices simultane-
ously with the other elections.

"There was concern that
some people had left, but there
was not a significant difference
in the vote. It might possibly
have affected the runoff. Fin-
ally, there was some concern
that there were names left off

when the candidates were read.
I had the only list at that time,
so it would have mattered."

Sally feels that the freshman
concern was sparked by the
judicial vote. "People came to
see me," she said, "who
were concerned that things be
done fairly."

"I feel that we just weren't
informed about elections in gen-
eral," she said. "It's hard to
vote when you don't know what's
going on. I didn't feel capable
of explaining; I picked up what
I knew about elections from
being on Rep Council.

"I definitely think someone
should have explained elections
completely."
Lynne and Sally agree that after
Lynne explained that freshmen
get a half vote because they
have been here only a short
time, comparatively, but arc-
such a large group that they
could swing an election, and
after the settling of the dispute
about judicial, there has been
no more complaining from the
freshmen.

The second instance of dis-
satisfaction came with the elec-
tion of day student chairman.
Marty Grosko, spokesman for
the people concerned, states,

Gooch Lauded
By State Speech
Association

The Georgia Speech Asso-
ciation at their annual meeting
on March 17 passed unani-
mously a resolution recognizing
the "distinctive contributions"
to the field of speech made
by Frances K. Gooch,

former head of the department
of speech, Agnes Scott College.

Miss Gooch, who taught at
Agnes Scott from 1915-1951,
died in March. She had also
held the positions of vice-presi-
dent of the American Speech
Association and president of
the Southern Speech Asso-
ciation.

The founder of Blackfriars,
she received her B.A. andM.A.
degrees from the University of
Chicago. She had also studied

THE PROFILE

^J- raoclt ^llieanl

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are \
those of the majority of the editorial staff.They do not necessari-
ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body.

Reserve Books

The loss of books from the reserve room
is deplorable. The honor system should
apply in the library as much as it seems
to in the classroom. Yet books are stolen.
We regret the fact that they are, but we
believe we can suggest a way to make hon-
esty a bit more palatable in the library.

People steal and hide books because they
want to be certain they can use a particu-
lar book at a particular time. So why not
institute a system whereby they can be
certain- -honestly.

We learned from the girls who came on
the exchange with Randolph-Macon that they
have little trouble with the disappearance
of reserve books. They also have a way to
reserve books in advance. We suggest that
such a method be tried at Agnes Scott.

Randolph-Macon uses a list where people
sign up for the books they want and when
they want them. When a student takes a
book from the shelf she signs again that
she has it and where she has it. The stu-
dent who has reserved the book has pre-
cedence over the student who has taken
it without a reservation.

We recommend that this or a similar
system be tried in our library, and we cer-
tainly hope that a way to end the theft will

Thomas Wolfe was sometimes terribly
good at characterizations of minor charac-
ters who suddenly appear in his novels, brief-
ly and brilliantly, and then disappear from
the pages forever, but remain long in the
mind of the reader. Such a character is the
hack newspaper man who turns up in 'The
Web and the Rock."

In a sort of soliloquy in a phone booth
the reporter tries to justify his twisted
ethics, search for angles, and distortion of
facts. Then the man says, "If I could only
be sure that tomorrow was going to be the
last day of the world oh ChristI What
a paper we'd get out in the morning."

I've been thinking about that line lately,
since for me and the editorship of the PRO-
FILE, this is the last day oftheworld. But
I don't believe this paper is spectacularly
different from the others I have edited.

Before I took on this job, I said I wanted
to improve the PROFILE, to make it cover
what people at Agnes Scott were actually
doing and saying, to make it not just a stu-
dent but a college newspaper, and to make
it a leading force, not just a reporting one.

I am satisfied with what the PROFILE has
been with the great help of many of the staff
members.

Of course, there are things we never got
around to the war, two - thirds of the in-
famous questionnaire. But that just proves
you cannot plan in August what a vital news-
paper in an vital college should be doing in
January.

And this is one year that certainly could
not be planned in advance. We cannot com-
plain that there has been a dearth of things
to cover in a newspaper.Nor can we complain
that we have not had the freedom to do so,

freedom of which I am very proud at Agnes
Scott.

I realize that plenty of people around here
are not PROFILE fans. I'm glad. A paper
with which everyone agrees and which please
everyone is worth little. What really pleases
me is that they have been reading the
PROFILE, they know from experience that
they don't agree.

Many people have told me that they have
read the paper a great deal this year, per-
haps for the first time since they've been
here. Thank you.

As I say, I am quite happy with what the
PROFILE has been able to do and be this
year. I recognize the mistakes we have
made and the things we have not been able
to do. But the paper is heading in the pro-
per direction, and that is very important.

A high-up on the college staff remark-
ed recently that she certainly hopes the
PROFILE is better next year than it has been
this year. Twas obvious that we disagree
as to what it has been this year. Never-
theless, I must agree with her conclusion:

I certainly hope the PROFILE is better

Backward Glance

Student government year 1966-67 has been
one of examination, study, and, in some in-
stances, change. It has been a year of in-
tellectual stimulation and excitment over
some issues in a new campus-wide manner,

Almost everything important about Agnes
Scott has been examined this year. Inten-
sive studies have been made by Rep Council
committees of the apartment policy, the
sign-out system, and the needs and possi-
bilities for a campus car. The results of
these studies will be known to the student
body shortly.

The salaries of non-contract workers
were examined and raised by the college.
This year, for the first time, the enter-
tainment review committee was composed
of students.

Curriculum committee has investigated
the core curriculum; chapel committee has
conducted a thoughtful poll about chapel and
chapel programs. These studies will have
their effects soon also.

The Hub discussions of the war in Viet
Nam and the symposium on the city were
excellent programs sponsored for the en-

lightenment and awareness of the student
body.

Elections have been handled faster and
more pleasantly than in recent years. Re-
organization committee's preferential bal-
lot has been a boon to the procedure. Noth-
ing has yet been said about the entertain-
ment at elections.

Another concrete innovation is the educa-
tion committee which began to function only
last quarter and has produced two definite
proposals that go into effect in the fall -
pass-fail and the study of a five-day week.

Now the education committee is moving
into the dorms for hearings, a significant
step toward interesting a great many people
in education, which is one of the purposes
of the committee.

Finally, there has been a great deal of
intellectual activity outside the classroom
this year, more than usual anyway. It be-
gan with the controversy over "A Generous
Man" and moved through the issues of
Georgia and national politics and the prob-
lems raised in the symposium on the city.
It is still going on with the biggest issue of
the year, the faculty hiring policy and the
whole question of a Christian college.

The PROFILE has made its stands plain
on most of the issues and we are not go-
ing to repeat them here. We do want to
point out that it has been a busy year, an
unusual year, a remarkable year.

We have enjoyed this year, its changes
and its issues, and feel that it has been
significant for all that has happened, both
in Rep Council and in the Hub. While we
hesitate to wish on anyone some of what has
happened at Agne s Scott since Septembe r, we
do express the hope that next year can be
just as stimulating, exciting, and, in the first
meaning of an overused word, vital, as this
year has been.

MOCKINGS

FROM
RAMONA

Dear Mom,

I had the loveliest weekend. I
went to see "The Cherry Or-
chard" at the Pocket Theatre.
1 really enjoyed it.

Then I had to sneak into the
modern drama class to hear
Vladimer Volkoff talk about it,
I really enjoyed his lecture. As
a matter of fact, I may become
one of his ardent admirers, too.

Actually, 1 didn't know much
about the play before 1 went.
I thought it was the story of
George Washington until the
fourth act.

Well, the great event of the
quarter has happened at last.
1 ran into my old friend Mary
Martha Kline the other day.
Well, I didn't run into her real-
ly. I was sun-bathing on the
observatory roof and I observed
her in her backyard so I went
running over to chat.

By the way, Mom, good old
Uncle Butterbrickle sent me a
cake the other day. It was de-
licious, that is, what was left
after Peggy Moore and Betty
Derrick got hold of it. Well,
they're neat kids anyway.

Speaking of the Klines, that
reminds me of the Prayer
Room. As a member of the old
C.A. cabinet, I helped paint it
the other day. I must say that
we did a marvelous decorating
job except that Betty Butler is
still looking for some long
sofas.

We took Dean Kline over to
see it. He confessed that it was
the first time in his 16 years
here that he had been in the
Prayer Room. He made up for
it, though, by promising to help
Butler with the furniture prob-
lem.

Cassandra is going to trans-
fer after all. She's been accep-
ted at Scru University.

I must run. Somehow I can-
not concentrate now that's
spring. Love,

Ramona

Last year, for the first time
in the Atlanta area, the Sigma
Chi chapters of Emory and
Georgia Tech sponsored a
Derby Day in which the sorori-
ties at Emory and Tech and the
classes at Agnes Scott partici-
pated.

This year, three sororities
from Georgia State Collegewill
also enter, bringing the total
to eighteen participating
groups. This derby is the only
one in the country in which
four schools vie for honors.

Events will begin tomorrow,

Replacing Alice Cunningham
who is leaving Agnes Scott to
do post-doctoral research, Vir-
ginia S. Watts will be an assis-
tant professor of chemistry. She
is currently a research in-
structor in chemistry at Emory
University. Her special field is
physical chemistry; she receiv-
ed her B.A. and MS. at Miss-
issippi Southern College and
Ph.D. at Emory University.

Kenneth R. Whittemore has
been hired as an assistant pro-
fessor of sociology to replace
John A. Tumblin who will be on
leave. Mr. Whittemore receiv-
ed his B.A. at St. Lawrence
University and his B.D. atCrane
Theological School, Tufts Uni-
versity; he is a candidate for
the Ph.D. degree at Emory

Mr. Whittemore has been an
assistant professor of sociology
at the University of Chattanooga
and is currently a sociological
consultant in theFulton-DeKalb
Public Health Departments
where he works in the suicide
prevention center while carry-
ing a full graduate program at
Emory. He will continue work-
ing with the center on a reduced
basis while at Agnes Scott. Mr.
Whittemore is also a minister
of the United Church of Christ
(Congregational).

When asked how these people
were found to teach at Agnes
Scott, Mr. Kline replied that
Mrs. Watts and Mr. Whitte-
more were both referred by
their departments at Emory.
Miss Daniels will come to Ag-
nes Scott under the United
States-India Woman's College
Exchange program.

Mr. Perry is a personal
friend of Merle Walker of the
philosophy department. While
at the Modern Language Asso-
ciation meeting in New York
City, Gunther Bicknese found
Miss Kockert and interested her
in teaching at Agnes Scott.

Miss By rum and Miss Cox
were both located through gen-
eral letters to physical educa-
tion departments throughout the
nation. Mr. Kline said that
among the applicants for the
place Miss Byrum will fill was
a male dance teacher.

Mr. Kline said that "these
are all young people" when asked
the approximate ages of these
seven new teachers. He also
reinterated that "these are all
good people, the kind we expect
to keep at Agnes Scott."

derbies will tempt the stealth,
instincts and spirit of the par-
ticipants.

The success of any class or
sorority in this contest will de-
pend upon the number of girls
mustered for the chase. This
is particularly important for
the Agnes Scott classes which
are larger than the sororities.
The winning class or sorority
will be determined not only by
the quantity of derbies but also
by the percentage of derbies
per member students turned in.

The spirited, fun-loving Har-
pies who descend upon the Tech
Sigma Chi's will be given free
lunch and dinner at the fra-
ternity house.

Those students who cannot go
to Tech or Emory may still have
an opportunity to steal a few
derbies. According to Mary
Barnett, Agnes Scott's Derby
Day chairman, some boys with
derbies may be on campus to-
morrow.

The derby steal will last only
from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. tomor-
row. The class managers urge
all derby stealers to turn in
their derbies either at the hous-
es or to the managers. Der-
bies marked with the names of
the captors will be returned
after the tallying.

Saturday, the beauty contest
and field events will continue
the excitement of the derby
steal.

Free transportation will be
provided in the form of trucks
which will leave from Main at
noon on Saturday for the Emory

the groups will march to the

Two Aspects
Of Fashion
Revealed

by Marilyn Merrell

Fashion speaks. Why not give
it a chance to speak to you
today ? April 13, two
shows are scheduled by Social
Council for each fashion-
minded girl on campus.

During morning chapel,
Franklin-Simon will bring its
own professional models to
Gaines. There all the phases
of fashion for spring and
summer '67 will speak for sun,
sea, love, and laziness.

Then, at 4:30 Walters' base-
ment will be the scene for a
follow-up show. Since fashion
is more than meets the eye,
Social Council has a planned
show entitled "Fashion and
Foundations.*'

Regenstein's representative
Jean Bolton will explain the
types of foundations needed to
wear flatteringly spring and
summer fashions. This show
will be unique in that Miss
Bolton will not only show the
foundations, but also explain
why they are good for a
particular fashion and for
a particular you.

event, will
ness and, yes, courage of the
participating teams.

Since last year, some modi-
fications have been made in
several events. In the flour
fun, contestants will crawl,
rather than run, to the mound.
Last May, an Emory co-ed
made the mistake of trying to
crash through an Agnes Scott
belle and could only rebound and
faint.

The daring debut will be
judged on costume originality
and not on the amount of ma-
terial returned. Bikinis lost
their originality last year not
enough material was left to
work with.

Two new events have been
added, bamboo ramble and skin
the snake. According to a
booklet describing the events,
teams of five girls each will
compete in the bamboo ramble.
The girls will support a smooth
bamboo pole between their legs.
By using their legs only, the
team will run 50 yards forward
and then backwards to the fin-
ish line."

In skin the snake, eight girls
"...in a line, hold hands with
the girl in front and in back of
them through their legs. The
last girl will crawl through the
line of legs, followed by the
second last girl, etc. At no time
may the hand holds be broken
or the team must begin the event
again. The snake is to be skin-
ned twice."

Winners of the team events
will each receive a $5 gift cer-
tificate. A five-point bonus
will be given to the most spirit-
ed team in the field events.

Trophies will be given for the
first five places in the over-all
competition.

Sigma Chi Derby Day will be
covered by local television, the
Associated Press and Atlanta
Magazine.

Mary Barnett comments that
the Emory sororities "are
really hot about Derby Day."
They would like to see a change
in the winners. Last year, tne
present sophomore and junior
classes placed first and third
respectively. But Mary thinks
that the Agnes Scott classes like
to win and want to keep the
Derby Cup at ASC. How about
it, freshmen, sophomores and
juniors?!!?

Honor Sys
In Reserve

"Approximately 12 reserve
books were taken from the re-
serve room last quarter,"
states Mary Brooks, reserved
book room assistant. About six
have been found.

Reserved books thought to be
lost are often found in Buttrick
and in the dormitories, accord-
ing to Miss Brooks. "They are
also taken into the stacks and
left there." However, Miss
Brooks states that some re-
serve books "never show up."

She says that students do not
understand that the rule stating
that reserve books must be kept
in the reserve room was made
for their protection. Its pur-
pose is to insure the availabili-
ty of reserve books.

Miss Brooks further states
that it is not a large number of
books, but it can be a large
problem; the books which dis-

Most Think Successful
Voluntary Chapel Possible

The voluntary chapel attended
most frequently by Agnes Scott
students in each of the four
classes is class meeting. Most
students admit that they attend
chapel seldom.

These are but two of the
facts uncovered by the chapel
evaluation questionnaire put out
by Susan Philips' chapel eval-
uation committee.

A large majority of those
who answered the questional re
felt that it is possible to have
a successful program of chapels
on a voluntary basis. The
answers, however, were about
equally divided between yes and
no when considering whether
the chapels this year have been
successful.

Most of the people who do
not attend the voluntary chapels
on a regular basis spend the
time either in their rooms or
in the library. Most of these
know in advance what the day's
chapel program would be and
do not feel that more publicity
would make a difference in
their attendance.

When asked whether a break
following chapel would en-
courage attendance, the
students were divided about
equally. An overwhelming
number, however, said they
would not be in favor of having
such a break if it meant starting
classes a few minutes earlier.

Scott students think that the
idea of using a week's chapel
programs for concentration on
one topic is "very good." Only
a very few thought it was only
fair or poor. A variety of
subjects was suggested for
possible future programs,
including such topics as career

appear are always those the
most students need at one par-
ticular time. Lillian Newman,
assistant librarian, states that
the problem seems to be getting
gradually worse.

Miss Newman and Miss
Brooks both state that the so-
lution to the problem lies in each
student's acceptance of library
work as a part of the honor
system. Miss Brooks says that
the student body could put pres-
sure on offenders and that it
must accept the responsibility
for this problem.

Door checks, a common so-
lution to this type of problem,
are not contemplated by the li-
brary staff, nor are closed re-
serve stacks, a situation in
which each student must ask
for a book from the librarian.

opportunities, sex education,
community development.

The major means of publicity
seems to be the weekly
calendar. Other media were
the blackboards and by word
of mouth, but these were not
used as much as the weekly
calendar.

Suggested means of making
information available included
announcements in convocation,
more detailed signs in obvious
places, and weekly calendars
placed in the mail boxes.

A definite yes was the reply
to the question "When you do
not attend chapel programs, do
you honestly feel that your time
is better spent elsewhere?"
Most, however, felt that the
half hour period each morning
should be used for voluntary
chapel, programs which one can
attend when interested. Only
a few said they wanted the
period as a time to rest,
etc.

Elections

CONTINUED FROM PACE 1

"It's nothing that really should
be brought out. Sixteen day
students voted in the election,
and I think that's pretty dis-
gusting out of 68."

She explained that the day
student chairman elected was
not known by most of the day
students. "We were hoping for
some gross irregularity," she
said. "Like 40 votes. We
don't think any of the boarders
voted, and we couldn't prove
it."

Helen Heard, who has been
handling elections in the prac-
tice-teaching absence of Mortar
Board president Grace Winn,
explained that the votes cast for
day student chairmen were
counted twice before the win-
ner was announced and again
after concern was expressed by
Marty.

There were 18 votes cast in
that election and "there is no
way to make a mistake with 18
votes," she said.

Admitting there is "no tact-
ful way" to do anything, Marty
said that the day students con-
cerned had dropped the issue.
"It was more a hope than an
accusation," she concluded.

The election of senior judi-
cial representatives caused the
final disturbance. Norma Jean
Hatten has written Lynne a
letter on behalf of "people who
ask me about elections," she
said.

The concern was that all
nine Oi the girls were elected
on the first ballot. Normajean
explained that people had told
her that they felt they had

Members Tuesday

Rising seniors who have been
chosen for Mortar Board will
be tapped in a candlelight ser-
vice in the quadrangle next
Tuesday.

As announced by Mortar
Board president Grace Winn,
in an earlier PROFILE article,
this procedure is a departure
from that followed in earlier
years. Previously, the presi-
dent of Mortar Board was tapped
on the evening of the first day of
student government elections
while the rest of the chapter
was tapped about one month
later in the Mortar Board con-
vocation.

circle is only one person deep
so everyone can see what's
going on. And the ceremony
is not over until the last girl
has been tapped, so we don't
want anyone to break the cir-
cle or applaud until then."

Selection to Mortar Board is
a high honor and is accorded
only to those rising seniors who
have shown exceptional evi-
dence of service, scholarship,
and leadership qualities. The
Agnes Scott chapter was found-
ed in 1931.

The tapping will be at 9 p.m.
April 18.

Offices Final For Next Year

The change was decided upon
for several reasons, the pri-
mary one being that the present
procedure is illegal according
to the National Mortar Board
Constitution which requires that
the whole chapter must be tap-
ped at once.

In addition, Mortar Board
felt that the honor due the en-

diminished by the singling out
of only the president at the

Jndependent Study*

Winn Deals With Ideas
Presented By Dostoevsky

by G race Winn

The Russian novelist Fyodor Mikhailovitch Dostoevsky, author of such works as "Notes from
Underground," "Crime and Punishment," and 'The Brothers Karamazov," has continually
fascinated readers and critics. Most people who have written about him point out two areas in
which his genius is unique.

One is his perceptive portrayal of human psychology, especially abnormal states and the work-
ings of the subconscious. The other is the power of the ideas expressed by his characters and
the way in which the intellectual content is integrated into the work of art.

In my independent study of
Dostoevsky I became fascinat-
ed with this second area of his
genius and dealt with the ab-
sorption of ideas in dramatic
narrative, especially in 'The
Brothers Karamazov."

There are a few comment*
1 can make about the union of
art and thought in Dostoevsky's
writings, although essentially
the process remains a mystery.

hi the first place, the ideas
expressed in Dostoevsky's no-
vel are powerful and original.
The conversation of his char-
acters often revolves around
such issues as the nature of
man, the existence of God, the
nature of the world, the pro-
blem of evil, the question of
free will, the nature of guilt,
and the future construction of
human society.

In Dostoevsky's writings not
only the expression of ideas
but the ideas themselves have
been studied by psychologists,
philosophers, and theologians
and have exerted an influence
on modem thought.

The ideas in Dostoevsky's no-
vels are developed at length
in discussions, dreams, spee-
ches, and written confessions.
Within all these forms Dostoe-
vsky uses the artistic devices

of logic and other oratorical de-
vices, anecdotes, and imagery.

I am particularly fascinated
by the poetic expression of ideas
in such figures as "I love the
sticky little leaves as they open
in spring" and "It's not God
that I don't accept. . . only I
most respectifully return him
the ticket."

The crucial way in which Dos-
toevsky lifts his writings from
the category of thesis novels,
in when ideas are dominant,
to works of art is in the re-
lation of ideas to characters.
Dostoevsky's characters em-
body ideas and their actions are
the working out of ideas that
are central to their personali-
ties.

They are exaggerated figures
and can often be given such la-
bels as ''saint," "intellectual
rebel," "buffoon," or "sensua-
list." However, in a mysterious
way they are convincingly real.
The force of theirpersonalities;
the way in which Dostoevsky
thinks of them as independent
rather than as puppets; their in-
ternal conflicts, uncertainties,
and growth; and the psycholo-
gical validity of their actions
somehow combine to make them
believable

The characters thus become
the center of Dostoevsky's no-
vels. His books consist of one
scene after another of dra-

matic conflict between his gi-
gantic figures. Ideas very rare-
ly appear in his books ouside
the context of the confrontation
of conflicting characters. As the
tools of expression used in the
interaction of powerful figures
the ideas come alive.

The effect is further increas-
ed by the movement of the plot.
All Dostoevsky's novels revolve
around melodramatic crimes
which are the outgrowth of the
time scheme in which one con-
frontation fellows another with
complusive urgency.

The result is that the intel-
lectual debates are given inten-
sity by the sense of the pres-
sure of the ongoing action or
by a sense of temporary iso-
lation from the melodramatic
events of the plot or by a com-
bination of both effects.

By placing profound ideas,
artistically expressed, in the
context of dramatic conflict be-
tween characters with a con-
vincing if bizarre kind of rea-
lity, Dostoevsky earns such tri-
butes as the one given by Rene
WeLek: "Sometimes, in the
history of literature. . .there
are cases, confessedly rare,
when ideas incandesce, when
figures and scenes not merely
represent but actually embody
ideas, when some identification
of philosophy and art seems to
take place/*

Herff Jones
Indicted For
R igg i n g R i n g s

Herff Jones Company of In-
dianapolis, from which Agnes
Scott students in past years
have ordered class rings, is one
of four companies recently in-
dicated on a charge of rigging
the prices of class rings and
graduation invitations and an-
nouncements in Georgia.

The merchandise with the
rigged prices was assertedly
sold to students at the Georgia
Institute of Technology. There
was an attempt to sell it to stu-
dents at the University of Geor-
gia, the indictment said.

According to the indictment,
returned in the United States
District Court in Atlanta, pric-
es have been maintained at high
artificial levels and students in
Georgia have been deprived of
the benefits of free competition

Herff Jones Company, Jos-
ten's Inc., and L. G. Balfour
Company, which make and sell
about 75 per cent of the col-
lege and high school rings in the
nation, have about 90 per cent of
the class ring business in Geor-
gia, according to the U. S. Jus-
tice Department.

They also have a substantial
share of the state sales in grad-
uation announcements and invi-
tations. The H.R.T. Company
of Decatur Ga., is a sales agent
for Josten's and is owned by
Herbert R. Thompson of Deca-
tur. Wilkins andlsenbarger are
both associated with Balfour.

The indictment asserts that
the defendants "combined and
conspired to illegally restrain
trade" by agreeing to submit
rigged prices and bids for the
products. In order to avoid de-
tection, the indictment stated,
the defendants agreed that they
would not submit identical bids,
but would maintain a small
but immaterial price differ-
ence.

Nancy Still, in charge of or-
dering rings for the sophomore
class, states that only one bid
was submitted, that from the
Herff Jones Company. The
class was offered a small price
reduction from previous years;
if each member ordered a ring
with a solid gold back, the name
would be engraved in the ring
without additional charge.

Nancy comments, "I haven't
heard anything from the com-
pany. As far as 1 know, the
rings should be here in several
weeks."

enough votes to elect a particu-
lar candidate.

"They felt pretty certain
these people voted for her,'
said Norma Jean.

Others said they could not un-
derstand how some of the can-
didates were elected on the first
ballot.

Norma Jean, who is a senior,
explained why she was involved
in the dispute: "It concerns
me that a lot of people are up-
set. I'm not so concerned per-
sonally, but I hate to see others
concerned. And it won't help
the people who are elected to
judicial.

"I've been on judicial and I
know it's important to have stu-
dents behind you. Those who
wanted this person now feel that
someone else got the place she
deserved.'

Helen explained how the can-
didates were elected on the fi rst
ballot.

The system is to add up the
total number of votes cast, in
this case all the votes cast for
all 16 or so candidates. Then

that number is divided by twice
the number of people to be elect-
ed, that is, 18 here. To have
a majority, a candidate must
have one more vote than the
number thus arrived at.

Helen says that, considering
this system, "There is no way
they could know who had a ma-
jority."

She did point out that in the
original counting, the total was
divided by 16, not 18. This
error was discovered when the
votes were checked again fol-
lowing the receipt of Norma
Jean's letter. "We realized the
mistake," she said, "and di-
vided again by 18. There was
still a substantial break, how-
ever. No one's number of votes
was close enough to merit a re-
count."

A number of general com-
ments on election procedure
have come out of the furor. Mar-
ty feels that the method is
"cumbersome.'' She feels es-

Abortion Advocate nsa, Education

Arrested In Boston <67- 4 68 Leaders Discuss Plans

BOSTON, Mass., Apr. 7 (CPS) A New York advocate of
birth control reform and legalized abortion was arrested at Bos-
ton University today, after he lectured on birth control and gave
out free birth control devices and lists of abortionists to more
than 2,000 cheering students.

"History is being made in
Massachusetts today," Baird
said, as hundreds of students
and newsmen and a score of de-
tectives surrounded him, "and
you (the students) are part of
it."

Baird also charged that
Massachusetts drug stories,
book stores, magazines and
even Boston Archbishop Rich-
ard Cardinal Cushing had also
disseminated information and
devices some time in the past
and "ought also to be arrest-
ed."

He displayed packages of con-
traceptives which B. U. stu-
dents had purchased hours be-
fore at a dru g store near the
campus and graphically ex-
plaine d the pill, diaphragms,
foam, prophylactics, and inter-
uterine devices with a demon-
stration board held aloft before
the overflow crowd.

Baird has been similarly ar-
rested in New York and New
Jersey for bringing free devices
to mothers in slum areas al-
though charges were dropped
after legislative reforms of
birth control laws in those
states were enacted. Last year
he was consultant on birth con-
trol affairs to the New York
State Senate.

His mobile thirty-foot Plan
Van, which he drives through
Harlem for the Parents Aid
Society, was parked on Com-
monwealth Avenue, the main
street on campus, but was not
impounded as evidence,, as stu-
dent organizers had feared.

Baird said he is now $50,000
in debt from his clinic's free
services. He underwent a ser-
ious operation for a tumor last
week and lost his job Wednesday
after his employer, a federal
anti-poverty agency, discover-
ed his intention to visit Boston
University.

As of Thursday night, no ac-
tion had been taken against the
student editors, and a group of
students were intending to at-
tend Baird' s arraignment Fri-
day morning.

Alice "Zolly" Zollicoffer, newly elected president of the Agnes Scott student government,
said recently that she plans to follow through on the note of support voted to the National Student
Association by Representative Council in the face of the controversy about the organization's
connections with the C.I. A.

William Baird, director of
the New York Parents Aid So-
ciety, has been booked on three
counts of violations against
Massachusetts' "c r i m e s
against chastity" laws, which
he called "the most archaic
in the nation."

Section 272 of the Massa-
chusetts General Laws provides
that only a registered physician
may distribute birth control in-
formation or devices, and that
only to married persons over
21 years of age.

Students in B. U.'s Hayden
Hall gave Baird a standing ova-
tion and over $400, demanded
to help him distribute devices
so as to be equally liable under
the law and came forward in a
block of twenty coeds to accept
EMKO foam and lists of abor-
tionists who practice outside
the country.

Meanwhile, attorney L. Rich-
ardson Thayer II, counsel for
the University, said in a letter
hand-delivered to Baird today
that the University had pressed
legal authorities to arrest him
and added that B. U. NEWS edi-
tor Raymond Mungo is also lia-
ble as an accomplice. Mungo
and editors of the campus week-
ly sponsored Baird' s visit to the
university, after he had been in-
vited by 679 students in the form
of a petition.

Thayer said that Baird has
"abused the University's hos-
pitality by coming here to break
the law."

Following Baird's arrest, at-
torney James Hamilton of the
Massachusetts Civil Liberties
Union announced to the roaring
student audience that "ACLU
will take on Baird's case."
Baird added that he intends to
push the case to the U. S. Su-
preme Court to have the Massa-
chusetts laws declared uncon-
stitutional.

Baird faces up to twelve years
in prison and up to $10,000 in
fines. He was bailed out of Rox-
bury Fourth District Jail for
$100 by Boston University stu-
dents.

She pointed out, however, that
this will have to be verified by
the new Rep Council Zolly be-
lieves that withdrawing from
N.S.A. now would "be like back-
ing out on your best buddy when
he is in trouble." According to
her, N.S.A. "has more to offer
Agnes Scott as far as student in-
formation and student services
than any other organization with
wheh we are affiliated."

Plans are tentative for Zolly
to go the N.S.A. convention this
summer, but they will have to
be re- affirmed by the new Rep
Council. Zolly thinks that at the
convention, which has been at-
tended by past A.S.C. student
government presidents, she can
find out definitely what is going
on.

As far as other campus or-
ganizations are concerned, the
committees set up by Rep Coun-
cil in previous years will re-
main pretty much the same.
Zolly hopes to keep the same
people on education committee
who are presently serving. It
would not be wise, she believes
to change the members and have
to rehash what has already been
discussed. The students and fa-
culty on the committee are
"open to each other and can
communicate freely."

Zolly pointed out that much of
the work with tangible results
is done by sub-committees, but
the ideas come out of discus-
sions held by the education
committee itself.

One new feature of the Zolli-
coffer administration will be
open hearings in the dorms.
Questions for these hearings,
which will last an hour each,
can be placed in a box in the
mailroom. This was suggested
in committee last quarter, but
there was not time then.

Gue Pardue, Judicial chair-
man, is concerned with the sys-
tem of penalties here at Agnes
Scott because "they don't cor-
respond with the rules at all."
One important problem she sees
is campuses. "People are not
taking mem seriously enough
because there are so many of
them for so many things." Gue
believes that a serious re-
evaluation of the call down sys-
tem is also indicated.

She has asked for ideas from
students concerning what would
be proper and appropriate
penalties for lateness and other
such offenses.

She also wants student sup-
port in gaining a "realistic ap-
proach" to the honor evaluation
committee on how to improve
the honor system. Ideally Gue
would like to get a "cross-
section of what people think an
honor system should be and
then see how our compares with
it." She feels that students
would uphold it more if they
had more personal connection
with an understanding of it.

Innovations can also be look-
ed for in next year's Christian
Association which is headed by
Sally Elberfeld. Intercollegiate
has been taken over by Rep
Council and is no longer a part
of C.A, The discussion groups,
which this year were headed by
Zolly Zollicoffer, will be un-
der the direction of the world
awareness chairman, Cathy
Price, instead of under the
"Y" Coordinator.

Sally has named some mat-
ters which will be considered
by the newly appointed C.A.
board. She would like to see
C.A.R.*s become an appointed
instead of an elected position.
She would also favor some joint
projects with other campus
"Ys".

There will be a greater ef-
fort this year for more student
participation in the worship
services of Religious Emphas-
is Week. Sally also mentioned
consideration of student crea-
tive worship services at ves-
pers, but not replacing what
we have now for the evening
services.

Overall, the new C.A. presi-
dent would like for the organi-
zation to "stimulate people to
see that C.A. is involved in
things".

pecially that a procedure should
be developed that would "create
the greatest number of voters
among the day students."

She believes that the present
system does not do this because
many of the day students have
8:30 and 9:30 classes and then
go home. She did say, however,
that many of the day students
she felt should have voted were
drinking coffee in the lounge
during chapel when the day stu-
dent chairman was elected.

Sally stressed the need for
the freshmen to be better in-
formed about elections in gen-
eral. Lynne agrees, "I'm
really sorry the freshmen
hadn't been more informed. But
I think the concern has been
cleared up after my brief ex-
planation during the voting one
day."

More generally, she said, "I
think elections really have gone
well. We've cut the time almost
in half. In general it has moved
very quickly; the preferential
ballot has helped tremendous-

iy."

Fearless
Graham
Tells All

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. (CPS)
Evangelist Billy Graham was
interviewed recently in San
Francisco. With indomitable
courage, Graham spoke out on
several controversial issues:

On capital punishment:
take no position."

"I

On therapeutic abortion:
"That's a complicated question.
I'm not going to get involved."

On whether he approves of a
bill to restrict the teaching of
evolution in California public
schools: "I'd have to see the
bill."

On whether the Southern Bap-
tist Convention should join the
National Council of Churches:
"I'll leave that to the Southern
Baptists."

On Vietnam: "We ought to
leave this to our leaders - they
know the facts."

Obviously, Graham is not
afraid that his public statements
might offend anyone. Nosiree,
not fearles s Billy. As he said
in the same interview, the real
problem in America today is
that the nation's leaders are
"not meeting (youth's) moral
needs. . ."

Cox Brings Tradition
To Scott: The Jeep

CAMPUS MALE CHECKS THE CAMPUS MAIL. Mr. Brown was voted
the honor at Rep Council Tuesday.

Demonstration

Rep Council Makes
Brown Campus Male

Michael J. Brown, associate
professor of history, was elect-
ed campus male in the last

Story Of One Man

by Poppy Wilson

meeting of the 1966-67 Rep
Council last Tuesday.

The suggestion was made by
Betty Butler, who pointed out
that in the committee reports
there was so much mention of
the campus mail that she thought
a campus male should be chos-
en.

The motion to elect Mr. Brown
was made by Jane McCurdy and se-
conded by Ann Roberts and several
cheers.

Jane Cox is trying a new
mode of transportation. The
idea is unique on the Agnes
Scott campus but the vehicle is
actually a very old tradition
among Army personnel: the
jeep.

Jane's jeep once belonged to
a general, indicated by the large
white stars decorating the
sides. The prestige of these
symbols is increased by a stick-
er from Duke University. The
other writing on the sides indi-
cates fuel and weight notations.
Jane says it is perfectly legal
for the jeep to be in civilian
use and still bear the army
insignia.

The jeep belongs to all four
children in Jane's family,
among whom she is the oldest,
and it will be shared among
them while they are in school.

As the owner this quarter,
Jane proudly says, "it is much
better to drive than a carl"
The four -wheel drive makes
it excellent for circumventing
sand dunes and similar ter-
rains, but Jane has not yet
mastered this aspect, perhaps,
because of lack of need in our
surroundings.

The more practical assets,
conducive to the campus, are
the fact that there are no sides
to inhibit or limit vision and
talkability, Jane says, "you
can see everything and talk to
people real well".

The absence of sides also
adds to the ease with which one
can jump out of the vehicle.
Its strength and durability keep
it from being easily damaged,
while at the same time, it
"demolishes everything it
touches."

Another pronounced advant-
age are the black-out lights,
generally used on any vehicles
during bombing raids. The
lights are a dim red and cannot
be seen from a distance. Jane
says use of this feature would
afford excellent means of
"sneaking back on campus late
at night."

The main attraction Jane
finds in the jeep, however , is
its "friendliness". Evidently
many people around town have
been curious because Jane says
people stop to talk to her all the
time. There is no speedome-
ter, making it necessary to ask
fellow motorists, and thus add-
ing to this atmosphere of friend-
liness.

Jane emphasizes the attrac-
tiveness of no sides: "I get
lost a lot and it's very easy to
ask directions."

The practical and the roman-
tic features of the jeep are num-
erous. With Jane's location in
Walters, where powerful in-
fluence can circulate among the
freshmen, who knows but that
there might arise a now tradi-
tional mode of transportation
among Agnes Scott students.

Rep Council Votes
To Leave SLASG

The role of Jake Holman
seemed to me the most valuable
thing in "The Sand Pebbles."
I don't mean only Steve Mc-
queen's performance, which
was excellent; the character it-
self was important, because
the story is truly that of one
man (a man who has a few
basic desires) whose life be-
comes inextricably complicated
through no actions of his own,
because he habitually avoids
decisive action, or anything
else which the Navy might rec-
ognize and reward as initiative.

But as the events which com-
plicate his life multiply and in-
crease in size, so he takes
more decisive steps in the di-
rection which may not be right
but is at least his.

The story occurs in 1926,
when China's nationalistic feel-
ings were becoming strong, and
her indignation at the foreign
warships in her ports reached
uncontrollable extremes.

The gunbeat San Pablo (hence
Sand Pebbles) whose engineer
Jake is, an unorthodox conglo-
meration of a rowdy crew, a
more- honorable- than- thou
captain, and a band of Chinese
coolies who have infiltrated the
boat and work (sometimes
incompetently) for their rice
bowls in various locations on
board. The ship is almost an
Albatross, not in the sense of
a bird of good fortune, but one
already shot and tied around
the neck.

When Jake arrives, he dis-
rupts the crew's own private
caste system, but, not wanting
to break anyone's rice bowl,
permits the coolies to give tok-
en assistance in the engine
room. Jake is never really ac-
cepted by most of the men,
partly because he is not as

sorry as they are. He becomes
their equivalent for an Ancient
Mariner. Jake's advent is fol-
lowed by a gruesome accident
with a broken engine part.

There is an abundance of
gruesome accidents as well as
deliberate honors in "The
Sand Pebbles." Theextraswho
represent the militant national-
ist army are either the best
actors (though unsung) in the
world or members of the Red
Guard who are working as ac-
tors in order to carry away
some capitalist money. I would
not recommend "The Sand
Pebbles" to anyone who is out
for three and one half hours
of pure unadulterated film en-
joyment, or to anyone who is
more than semi-thin-skinned.

The acting is superior, thanks
to excellent casting, and pri-
marily to the actors. Candice
Bergen was allowed to talk,
which she hardly was in "The
Group," and was quite good at
even more than talking.

The Captain, Jake's friend
Frenchy, and the crew to a
man were excellent. They gave
a fair picture of servicemen
(who are primarily men) and
brought realism back to a life
which has been cheerfully dis-
torted by "Mc Hale's Navy"
and Sergeant Bilko.

The whole story, though, is
really that of Jake Holman, who
sees enough senseless cruelty
and sorrow (and its necessity)
not to ask why it happened but
merely how.

SUPPORT C.A

Visit the newly
painted Prayer Room

A heated discussion followed,
supposedly giving the new Rep
Council a demonstration in the
(mis-) use of parliamentary
procedure.

Grace Winn, advisory mem-
ber of the board, was granted a
vote on this important issue,
and a roll call vote was de-
manded.

There were two opposing
votes and Judy Roach and Ellen
Wood abstained. Others cast
their votes in favor of the mo-
tion in terms varying from "Ab-
solutely" to "I regret that I
have only one vote to cast in:
favor of Michael J. Brown."

According to a reliable
source, the recipient of the
coveted honor had hinted that
he would not be entirely oppos-
ed to it.

Rep Council has recommend-
ed that Agnes Scott withdraw
from the Southern Intercolle-
giate Association of Student
Governments.

The proposal, which is sub-
ject to the approval of the ad-
ministrative committee, came
directly out of the report of
Dusty Kenyon and Kay Jordan
of the meeting of the associa-
tion at Wesleyan College last
weekend.

Discussions concerned com-
munications, differences be-
tween social and academic
rules, organizational structure,
elections, the role of women's
student government on the coed
campus, faculty-student rela-
tionships, honor systems, so-
cial regulations, and student
government's responsibility to
the college.

In her report to the student
body president, Kay Jordan
said that in the discussions of
elections, which she attended,
"because of our overlapping
candidates, most of the sug-

sant, Sally Gillespie, and Jo Ray Feiler are merely entranced.

gestions were irrelevant to our
situation."

Agnes Scott was unique among
the colleges there in the area of
honor systems also. It is the
only college in the association
which has no stipulation calling
for turning in a student who
does not report herself. Kay
found that here also "the prob-
lems which were discussed
were mainly irrelevant."

Although she found valuable
suggestions about explaining the
honor system to freshmen and
greater judicial responsibility
for the house councils, Kay's
conclusion was that "the situa-
tions of most of the schools
were not akin to ours."

Rep Council agreed, feeling
that Agnes Scott has little in
common with most of the mem-
bers, both academically and
governm entally.

Both Kay and Dusty agreed
that Agnes Scott's student gov-
ernment has a great deal of
freedom compared with the
other colleges represented.

In answer to the suggestion
that while Scott might not bene-
fit from others, it might con-
tribute to the organization, Kay
said, "the majority of others
are not in a position to gain
from our system."

Represented at the confer-
ence were Blue Mountain, Bren-
au, Centre College of Kentucky,
Coker, Emory and Henry,
Florida Southern, Georgia Col-
lege of Milledgeville, Long-
wood, Mercer, Meredith, Miss-
issippi State College for Wom-

Decatur Urban Renewal
Still In Destruction Phase

by Virginia Russell

At Agnes Scott's recent symposium on the city, Mayor Jack Hamilton of Decatur at one point
invited students here to go across the railroad tracks and see Decatur's urban renewal. Display-
ing the perverbial nose for news, the PROFILE sent a reporter and a camera to the neighborhood
to view the changes and interview people of the area about their leelings scout tne changes.

out, she knows of none who nearby Decatur Presbyterian
are planning to move back when Church, has lost most of its
the new apartments are finish- members. The interviewee

mmm

The area is much changed,
obviously to the better. Al-
most all the old dilapidated
houses have indeed been re-
moved. Curbing for a new road
has already been laid, and bull-
dozers are working to smooth
the ground.

One of the people interviewed
lives in the already-built pub-
lic housing behind DecaturHigh
School. According to a Decatur
City Hall official, Decatur is
proud to have built this hous-
ing project, which was one of the
first in the nation, and was com-
pleted before urban renewal was
begun.

An inside view of an apart-
ment there revealed that,
at best, they are adequate. The
callings have no overhead fix-
tures, which causes the rooms
to appear gloomy even with
lamps, bare pipes can be seen;
and noises from apartments a-
bove and on either side can be
clearly heard; but still the a-
partments are adequate.

In speaking of the change
which has come about in that
community since workers first
began tearing down houses about
a year ago, the interviewee
make several rather bleak ob-
servations. Of the people she
ha^ talked to who were mov-

ed. All who can are trying to
buy their own houses. "If they
can make it without living here,
'they won't live here," she
said, adding that if she could
find any way to get out, she
would.

One problem is that tenants'
rent is raised in relation to their
salaries. Therefore, there is no
way to save any money. "It
seems that the landlord is try-
ing to drive people out."

Another problem of the peo-
ple of the area is that there are
no grocery stores nearby in
which to shop. Very few people
own cars, there is no bus ser-
vice, and taxi fare ($.90 one
way to the Kroger in down-
town, Decatur) is out of their fi-
nancial range.

Concerning the urban renewal
housing, the interviewee stated
that she had been under the im-
pression, that the houses would
be torn down gradually, as the
apartments were built. Whether
or not such a promise was made,
communications were not good.

The effect of the slum clea-
rance has been obvious to the
churches. Trinity Presby-
terian, formerly a mission of

added that her church, which
had 400 to 500 members, also
lost almost all of them. People
who wish to worship with their
friends must now drive across
town to do so. What is now left
in the area is a remnant, iso-
lated more than ever before.

However, in the opinion of
one, if the new apartments are
ever built, they will be an im-
provement.

Economics School Becomes British Berkeley

EDITORS NOTE: In recent
weeks, the London School of
Economics has been subject to
demonstrations described by-
English newspapers as a "Brit-
ish Berkeley." Numerous stu-
dents have been suspended from
the school, including Marshall
Bloom, former editor of the
Amherst College STUDENT,
who headed LSE's Graduate Stu-
dents Association.

The immediate cause of the
demonstrations was the ap-
pointment of the past head of
Rhodesia's University College
at Salisbury to be LSE's new
director. However, as in al-
most all cases of student un-
rest, the roots of the distur-
bance go far deeper.

Following is an interpretive
report on the London School of
Economics, written for the Col-
legiate Press Service by David
VVidgery. Mr. Widgery, who
has been associated with the
British student magazine "U",
is currently a student at the
Royal Free Hospital School of
Medicine, and a member of the
Council of Britain's Radical
Student Alliance.

by David Widgery

LONDON, England (CPS)
The tragedy of the London
School of Economics situation
is that everyone knew it was
coming except the administra-
tion. It had to come and on the
same template of revolt as the
university dissidents in Berke-
ley and Berlin and Michigan.

It came because the admin-
istration was longwinded and
callous and the students are not.
It came because the channels
of communication and organiza-
tion are so solid, they are sew-
ers.

Because the administrators
were so far away, when they
came down the stairs from Con-
naught House offices, they scar-
cely recognized their own stu-
dents used the same words or
understood their language.

It came because LSE is small
and overcrowded and now filled
with working class students who
are no longer well bred and
cricket loving and comfortable
like a student should be.

And when it came, it was
scarcely surprising that the
student negotiators felt unable
to rely on the administration's
good faith and demanded the sort
of bargains familiar in labor
disputes.

After calling in the police,
after the mass suspensions
without hearings or appeals,
absurd allegations of conspira-
cy and the final statement that
the suspensions of David Ade-
lstein and Marshal Bloom were
never really under considera-
tion at an appeal hearing, this
is the least the administration
should expect.

Open Hostility

In certain cases the gap of
perception has widened into
open hostility between students
and some of those who teach
and administer them. The love
and trust preached by the found-
ers of the School seem a laugh-
able nostalgia.

The recent massive sit-in has
come at the end of a long hard
year. It began with discussion
and pamphleteering among the
students about the desirability
of the Director Elect. He is

Bring Shoe Trebles To
Clairmont Shoe Repair,
Inc.
DR. 3-3676

141 Cloirmnt Av*

Walter Adams, head of Uni
versity College, Salisbury,
Rhodesia. The exact student:
charges were largely ignored
and unread by the press and
endless letter writers to the
London TIMES evangelizing on
behalf of Dr. Adams' con-
science.

At that time David Adelstein,
the South African exile who is
president of the Undergraduate
Student Union, was disciplined
for writing, a letter to the
TIMjcS. As the case was heard,
the College went on strike and
pushed their case for change in
the college regulations with di-
rect action, mass meetings and
forceful negotiation.

The current batch of senten-
ces are the result of a meet-
ing held to discuss tactics when
Adams arrived. The room
where the meeting was to take
place was sealed off on the in-
structions of the Director, who
claimed he had to stop the stu-
dents plotting the violent over-
throw of Adams.

When some of the students
tried to gain entrance to the
meeting, a porter died of a
heart attack and the press had
apoplexy.

Like most British universi-
ties which were endowed and
founded before the effective
democratization of higher edu-
cation, the administration's re-
lations with the students are
characterized by a hierarchical
and impermeable structure and
very limited intellectual as-
sumptions.

Pa rod v

At LSE in crisis, the admin-
istration acted on these failures
and breakdowns to the point of
parody. The student's chief
negotiator, Richard Kufer, de-
scribed the school's structure
as how feudalism would have
worked if the barons had been
a bit cleverer.

The discipline machinery was
illuminated as absurd and dis-
honest. Adelstein was eventual-
ly charged for the crime of hav-
ing taken a vote on whether
to enter the meeting room.

The Court of Appeal contain-
ed members of the original sen-

tencing court and other mem-
bers who had openly expressed
a view in public. On the sec-
ond day of the sit-in, 80 students
sitting in the administration
building were arbitrarily sus-
pended for three months by the
professor who happened to have
the supreme command of dis-
cipline that day and who did
not even think it necessary to
take the offenders' names.

The supreme irony is that all
this should happen in the LSE of
Laskey and Tawney and the
Webbs who saw the college as
the social conscience of a so-
ciety; critical and disenchant-
ed with contemporary wisdom.

For at a time when the pro-
fessors are increasingly infatu-
ated with modern Britain and
see its only needs as items of
political landscape gardening,
the students are making in-
creasingly fundamental and
wholesale rejections of the ide-
ology and basis of society.

D e m o c r a c v

While the Professor of In-
dustrial Relations claims the
whole thing is the work of less
than 50 Trotskyists, Anarch-
ists Provos, and Americans,
the students are at the same
moment offering an authentic
counter society with an immed-
iate accessible democracy.

Much of the students' deep-
er resentment depends on the
decline of the college from the
cerebral cortex of society to
somewhere south of the solar
plexus churning bulk for indus-
trial society.

The students accuse the school
as being now there to train up
scientists for the cold war,
rationalizers for industry and
lubrication for those parts of
industrial society most prone
to breaking down.

Now in their action they are
offering an alternative schema
and from the university society
in protest has emerged a vivid,
living critique.

The most crucial decision the
students took was when they
chose to continue the occupa-
tion of the university premis-
es on their own terms rather
than leave a strong negotiating

committee behind.

They chose, as Kufer said, to
change this sit-in to a teach-in
to a learn-in to a live-in. The
students organized their own
classes and tutors.

They were in fact exercising
Paul Goodman's "Lernfren-
heit", the freedom to ask for
what they need to be taught and
if necessary invite the teachers
including the advocates of caus-
es, to do it.

They are continuing the pro-
test organization through the
Union and the Union's ad hoc
Committee of Thirty-Three.

The strikes and demonstra-
tions have all been Unionized.
LSE Student Union, like most of
the English student unions, is
the pivot rather than the rusty
hinge of student action. Elec-
tions are run on a political
basis and political conscious-
ness and organization is high
and sophisticated.

The democracy of the Union
debates has been authentic.
Tactics meetings filled the Old
Theatre to breaking point with
600 to 700 and debate was ex-
haustive and extremely good.

With mass democracy the
tendency is to level, stamp and
oversimplify. The debate at
LSE (with students staff and
leaders from other colleges
participating, but only the LSE
students voting), was an au-
thentic participatory process.

When the press and admin-
istration substitute for this the
theories of ringleaders and
coups, they are just demon-
strating their enormous dis-
tance from the contemporary
student expeience.

In between the debates the
students organized films (the
most popular was "The Or-

ganiser"), Agit Prop theatre,
poetry readings, and folk con-
certs. ...all the paraphernalia
of student consciousness but"
invested with importance and
urgency because of where they
were happening and why.

As in Berkeley students and
staff began to meet face to face
for the first time in a concrete
situation. Sometimes tempers
flashed but even the disagree-
ments had a reality that the per-
functory lecture courses or dust
jacket biographies just don't
possess.

The solidarity of the other
students in Britain has been
overwhelming and shows that
the LSE situation is perceived
to have national implications
and repeats local experience.

The solidarity which people
show to people, symbolized by
the daffodils worn by all the
marchers on the protest ral-
lies and passed and tossed out
into the crowd, again serves
as a counter system to the
bureaucracy of the official Na-
tional Union of Students, which
has disowned the LSE activi-
ties.

In a sense every generation
has its own style and its own
truth. At the LSE students
were taught by men of two
generations ago that all ques-
tions were complex, all ideolo-
gies complex and all larger
passions fanatical. Yet it is
these very students who were
able to demystify administra-
tor's rhetoric and shell games
and see a situation of blatant
problems and patent injustices.

It was the students who show-
ed an immediate and undeniable
concern for human freedom and
self-expression.

Alumnae Weekend Features
'Liliom' And New Morality

The first of approximately 500 former Scotties will begin their descent on Agnes Scott for the an-
nual celebration of Alumnae Weekend on Friday, April 21. Perhaps we can expect to hear such
comment as, "It's hard to believe that this used to be my room,*' and "My, but you haven't changed
a bit, dear, "as the alumnae revisit the dorms where they livedas students here and are united with
college friends. Although busy, it is sure to be a happy weekend and the alumnae will leave on
Sunday tired but probably very satisfied with Agnes Scott as it was and is.

Doris Allyn Smoak has been
on Judicial Council since her
freshman year. She served as
secretary during 1966-1967.
From Bamburg, South Caro-
lina, she is a French major.

Currently taking her junior
year in France, Ann Holloway
Teat is from Charlotte, North
Carolina. Her class offices in-
clude vice-president of the
freshman class and Black Cat

According to Jane McCurdy,
treasurer of the 1966-1967
Mortar Board, the ex-sponsor

Tuesday evening the old and
new chapters marched through
the campus in a candlelight pro-
cession and went to the home of
Michael J. Brown, associate
professor of history, who is the

reunion will also be attended
by members of 15 other classes
under the reunion schedule
which Agnes Scott uses.

Course Selection
Features Pass-Fail

The week of April 25 to May 3 is Course Selection Week at
Agnes Scott. During this time juniors, sophomores, and fresh-
men will select their courses for the next session and sopho-
mores will be choosing their majors.

This year for the first time during the week, juniors and sen-
iors will be allowed to elect courses to be graded on a pass-
fail basis. A maximum of 10 hours in the last two years may
be taken on this basis. This limit can be adjusted in any way
so that from one to three courses may be taken according to
the number of hours they require.

C. Benton Kline, dean of the

"LILIOM'S FEMALE CAST GETS MADE UP for a final dress rehear-
sal. "Liliom" will be given by Blackfriars Friday and Saturday even-
ings at 8:15 and in a matinee Saturday at 3 p.m. See story page 3

faculty, stressed that once the
decision is made to take a
course of the pass-fail basis,
the decision is irrevocable.
"Since students will receive no
quality points for work done un-
der this system," he said, "I
think that possibly the greatest
choice on the upperclassman's
part will be whether to take a
chance on taking the course on a
regular grade basis, or to take
it under pass-fail and miss
needed quality points."

The program will initially run
for two years and be under con-
tinuous evaluation. At the end of
two years a final decision will
be made on its success or fail-
ure.

Mr. Kline explained that al-
though letter grades will be
given in classes, only a "p"
or "f" will be filed with the
registrar. When asked if the

pass-fail system might affect
the morale in a "mixed" class
(i.e. some students on a pass-
fail basis and others on regular
grade scale) Mr. Kline said,
"I feel that it won't, because I
think that Scotties have enough
inherent pride so that they won't
just barely pass a course to
get a "p." Instead they should
be more relaxed and under less
pressure on the new system
and should do better."

Laura Steele, registrar of
the college and in charge of
Course Selection Week, stated
that compulsory class meetings
for all students except those not
planning to return, will be held
at the regular class meeting
time and places on Monday,
April 24. Detailed information
regarding course selection
week will be given at these
meetings, and mimeographed

THE PROFILE

-Qt 4 (jood o See lyj i

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are
those of the majority of the editorial staff. They do not necessari-
ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body.

Campus Car

"And we will all go far in our campus
car, '66 will roll."

Well, 1966 has come and gone. The '67
school year is almost hi story --and still no
one has rolled in the campus car. The pre-
diction was slightly over-estimated, but the
need for and desire for the car have grown.

The campus car committee, this year
headed by sophomore Jane Morgan, has un-
covered many reasons for which such a
vehicle is necessary. The committee is
now in process of drawing up the final reso-
lution to present to Representative Council.

The PROFILE would like to point out
just a few of the many reasons why this
forthcoming resolution should be consid-
ered favorably by Rep Council and then by
administrative committee.

The student government president often
is invited to make speeches in the Atlanta
area and to attend meetings at other col-
lege in the city and state. The lack of
transportation makes it difficult to attend
these functions and to get to many Inter-
collegiate meetings.

Athletic Association sponsors a service
project at the juvenile home in Atlanta for
which dependable transportation is defi-
nitely needed. Other A.A. uses would include
getting to golf courses, ice skating parties,
and sports events in Atlanta.

The Christian Association Service pro-
jects have long been a major activity for
many Scott students, but some find it diffi-
cult to participate due to lack of transpor-
tation. Much more meaningful projects
could be carried out with the campus car.

Transportation to cultural events in At-
lanta such as opera, museums, art exhibits,
and plays would help Arts Council to func-
tion more efficiently.

If the vice-president of Social Council
could be assured of access to a car, the
student body would be more assuredof a aood
place to have the winter dance next year.
You can tell more in person than you can
over the phone. Social Council also needs
a car to purchase supplies for the Hub, the
faculty reception during orientation, and
for open houses and fashion shows.

Last and certainly not least are the pub-
lications. Whereas AURORA has to make
six trips to the printer a quarter, the
PROFILE makes a minimum of three--
maximum of five--week. The taxi fare
which would have to be allotted by budget
committee would be $2.60 round trip.

So it can be clearly seen that a cam-
pus car is a definite need and would be a
beneficial addition to the Agnes Scott com-
munity. If Rep Council and the Adminis-
trative Committee agree, '68 will roll.

Elections are over and the 1967-1968 of-

I for one was extremely pleased with the
efficiency of election week and would like to
tip my cap to Helen Heard and Lynne Wilkins
for a job well done. Those of you who didn't
make it to installation certainly missed an
excellent speech by Dean Kline which he
hadn't given since 1964 and probably won't
give again until 1970. Sorry you missed it.

Election Article

Since all the major candidates except
yours truly wrote a pre-election PROFILE
article, I figure it is now time I let the stu-
dent body in on some of my thoughts. You're
probably wondering what you let yourselves
in for.

No, I really wasn't afraid to publicize my
thoughts prior to elections, but it is hearten-
ing to know that it is now too late for any-
one to write-in another candidate. (One of
my best friends did threaten to start such a
campaign, however.)

First of all I'd like to explain something
of my journalistic background. It all start-
ed when I was three years old and my par-
ents sent out one of those picture Christmas
cards with a shot of me sitting at my father's
typewriter with his visor on. Then many
years later when I was a freshman at Scott
my mother suggested that I apply for a
summer job on my hometown daily. The re-
ply I gave her was "What could I do sweep
the floors?"

In spite of all I got the job. Since the very
first day, I've known that I really must have
printers ink in my blood. I've written society,
news stories, theatre reviews, obits, col-
umns, and yes, even sports. At times I've
substituted for a vacationing society editor
and at other times for a non-existent copy-
boy.

As for the PROFILE I've worked under
Felicia Guest and Ann Roberts what else
would one need for qualifications. Inciden-
tally Roberts' entry into journalism came
during her sophomore year in high school
when she slipped on the ice, injured her back,
and couldn't try out for cheerleading. Luck-
iest break I ever heard of. (Sorry about that).

Mem bers of the present junior and senior
classes have seen this paper progress from
a sporadic weekly to a usual weekly to a
dependable weekly. With the help of my able
and enthusiastic staff, the PROFILE will con-
tinue on its present path and show up in your
mailboxes every Thursday. Perhaps not al-
ways at the same hour but you know what
they say about variety.

Thought For Today

To close this wondering, random section
of thoughts? from your editor's brain, I'd
just like to place in your minds a quotation
from John Adams, second President of the
United States.

"Sink or swim."

Think about it. I have been.

Tales Of Bobby The Kid,
Lawless Linden And Gang

LOS ANGELES, Calif. (CPS)
-Of all the folk-heroes of the
west, there was never a more
desperate desperado than the
ferocious young outlaw known
as Bobby the Kid. For indeed
Bobby was a colorful character.
Even today, they tell stories of
how he would ride across the
plains with his long hair in his
eyes and his teeth flashing,
screaming, "Let us press for-
ward II I" He was feared by
everyone, but especially by the
older bandits who knew that
someday they would have to
come to a showdown with him.
Strangely, though, young people
admired him. They tried to for-
get the fact that he was an out-
law and accept him as a human
being.

Now, the Kid belonged to the
Johnson gang, which ravaged
the countryside stealing from
the rich and stealing from the
poor and not giving anything to
anybody. Although the Kid
agreed in principle with the
gang's actions, he was very oft-
ten in opposition with the lead-
er of the gang, "Lawless Lind-
en" Johnson, and his side-
kick, Humble Hube.

The Kid had his first run-in
with Linden over a simple little
thing like a bank robbery. While
the gang was hiding out in the
hills, they made plans to raid
the city of Amarillo, Texas and
rob the banks. The next day
they entered the city fearlessly
with their guns blazing. Within
a few minutes, they had emptied
the vault of one of the banks,
and were well on theirwayback
to the hideout. As they sat
around the campfire in the even-
ing, planning the next day's
raid, the Kid blurted out, "Now,
uh, it is my opinion that, uh,
we should get out of Amarillerl"

"What?" said Lawless Lin-
den.

"What?" echoed Humble
Hube.

"I said, uh," the Kid re-
peated, "It is my opinion that,
uh, we should get out of Amaril-
ler because it's, uh, just not
right. Furthermore, I think
we should give the townspeople
some of their money back. Aft-
er all, uh, we may be outlaws,
but we're certainly not imperia-
lists I"

Lawless Linden was stunned.
Was this the boy he had cared
for from childhood and taught
to be a good bandit? Could this
be the sweet cherub who used
to sit on his knee and call him
'Uncle Linden?' This was the
first time he had challenged
his judgment on any matter and
it had him scared. Humble
Hube was even more scared.
He knew that the Kid was young
and ambitious, and he envision-
ed himself mysteriously dis-
appearing and the Kid becoming
Linden's new sidekick. But
there was not much he could do
about it. He never really knew
how he got to be Linden's buddy
in the first place, and now that
he was, most of the time he
didn't know what was going on.

But this started Linden think-
ing. Maybe having a romantic
young fellow like the Kid by his
side would enhance his own pop-
ularity, and people wouldn't
complain so much when they
were robbed. So one night, just
as had been expected, Humble
Hube disappeared and was never
heard from again. It was even
said that when anyone mention-
ed his name, Linden would just
smile and say, "Who?"

So Bobby the Kid became
Linden's new partner and to-
gether the duo charmed and

alarmed folks from Montana
to the Mississippi River. This
went on for quite a while until
the inevitable happened. Bobby,
impetuous young rascal that he
was, was not content to be num-
ber two. He wanted to be lead-
er of the gang and was ready
to challenge Linden the first
time he saw him slipping. Fin-
ally, the time came.

"I've uh, decided to, uh, take
ovah now," he told Linden.

"Ah beg your parden," the
leader answered him.

"I said, er, I've decided to
take ovah the gang now, because
you are old and feeble and, uh,
I am young and caperble," Well,
they started fighting each oth-
er. First the Kid would throw
a punch, and then Linden would
throw one and then they'd roll
around in the mud and call each
other names. Eventually, the
whole gang got into the fight.
This went on for a long time,
but ironically, no one ever found
out who won.

You see, about that time a
stranger rode into the camp
and caught the gang by sur-
prise. Their outlawing days
were over, so the gang broke up
and went their separate ways.
Some of the bandits went
straight, and some continued
their lives of crime. It is rum-
ored that both Linden and the Kid
are still alive, but are living
in retirement in Argentina.

And as for the stranger, well,
not much was known about him.
Some said he was short, some
said he was tall. Some said he
came from the east, others said
from the east. In fact, looking
back on it, it seems that there
was only one thing about him
that was known for sure: he
rode a dark horse.

Green EncountersProblems
In Production Of \Liliom'

by Sandra Earley

Elvena M. Green of the Agnes Scott speech and drama department is directing Blackfriars'
spring production of Liliom, by Ferenc Molnar. According to Miss Green, there have been some
problems in the staging of the show. The cast of 34 is the largest number Blackfriars has ever
used and so are the six settings for the show.

The casting of the 13 men's roles was one problem. Miss Green said that the actors who audi-
ditioned were one of two types. One actor found out two weeks before the show's opening that he
could not appear in the Saturday night show. He himself found a replacement for this performance.

Unlike this actor was the one
who accepted a role and then
sent a message by another actor
that he could not do the part
because it was too small. Miss
Green used the saying 'There
are no small roles, only small
people' " in speaking of him.

The male actors in the show
vary widely in acting exper-
ience. Miss Green gave the ex-
amples of Marion T. Clark of
the Agnes Scott chemistry de-
partment who will make his
stage debut in ' Liliom" and
Daniel Santacroce andGus Mann
who have acted extensively in
Atlanta Theatres.

Miss Green noted that there
are as many men in "Liliom"
as girls who have appeared pre-
viously in Blackfriars produc-
tions. This is because there are
eight Agnes Scott freshmen in
the play who have never acted
for Blackfriars before.

Scholars Tell
Of Studies

The Extra-Curricular Aca-
demics Committee is sponsor-
ing a Scholars-at-Work pro-
gram to give students and fac-
ulty members engaged in inde-
pendent research an opportuni-
ty to present their work to the
college community. It is felt
that this exchange of ideas be-
tween "greater and lesser
scholars " will increase the
awareness and appreciation of
the ideals of scholarly excel-
lence on this campus.
The series of six programs
will be presented informally in
the Rebekah Recreation room.
At the first program will be
Thursday afternoon, April 20, at
5 p.m., Grace Winn will present
her paper on "The Transfor-
mation of Ideas into Art in 'The
Brothers Karamazov.' "

When asked about amusing
occurances during rehearsals,
Miss Green recalled the night
when one of the actors became
trapped in the Dana courtyard
between the locked gate and the
locked door to the building.

There is also a running joke
among the cast, Miss Green
said. It involves the heights
of the girls in comparison to
the heights of the men they play
opposite. One actor has sug-
gested bringing saws to re-
hearsal to "cut people down to
size."

There have been technical
problems to the production also.
Miss Green has searched for the
original, music to the play. She
was successful in finding one
song, 'The Thieves Song.' Efforts
are now being made to "piece
together other music that will
be appropriate."

With the six sets of the show
there is a storage problem when
five of them are off stage.

A. A. Chapels
On First Aid

Bill Walters, an instructor at
the Athletic Club of Atlanta, will
give chapel programs on first
aid Tuesday, Thursday and Fri-
day of this coming week.

The chapels are sponsored
by Athletic Association.

In gathering properties for
the play, Ed Bucher, one of the
actors who is also a photogra-
pher, loaned Blackfriars an old-
fashioned tripod camera. A spe-
cial knife has to be constructed
for Liliom so that when he falls
from a six foot embankment in
the course of the play he will
not injure himself.

The play is set in Hungary
at the turn of the 20th century
and Miss Green says, "we have
kept it Hungarian." Hungarian
peasant costumes are being
constructed for the show.

Miss Green said that the au-
dience will not see a "watered-
down "Carousel"; "Liliom" is
much more moving." She also
stated that "I'm interested to
see how the audience will ac-
cept this play in 1967 it
will be interesting."

The play will be presented at
8:15 p.m. in the Dana Fine Arts
Building on April 21 and April
22 . There will be a matinee
at 3:00 p.m. on April 22.

Mortar Board

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Mortar Board is a national
senior honorary society com-
posed of over 100 chapters. The
Agnes Scott chapter was or-
ganized in 1936.

The purposes of Mortar
Board are "to promote college
loyalty, to advance the spirit
of service and fellowship among
university women, to promote
and maintain a high standard of
scholarship, to recognize and
encourage leadership, and to
stimulate and develop a finer
type of college woman."

The members are chosen by
the retiring chapter upon rec-
ommendations from the junior
class. The choice is based
upon scholarship, leadership,
and service.

Scott , Emory Sponsor
Education Conference

Agnes Scott and Emory University will sponsor a conference
this Friday and Saturday, April 21 and 22, entitled "The Edu-
cational Experience Educational Reform In the South." Co-
chairman or coordinators of the conference which will be at
Emory are Helen Roach of Agnes Scott and Robert Rhorer of
Emory.

The opening meeting will be a
banquet Friday night at which
the speaker will be Charles
Longstreet Weltner, Deputy
Chairman of Democratic Na-
tional Committee. The ex-
Fifth District Congressman
from Georgia will speak on
"The University in Society."
He is the now head of the Dem-
ocratic Party's new youth di-
vision.

The banquet will be followed
by a discussion by students, fac-
ulty, and other conference par-
ticipants on specific problems
in Southern education. From 11
a.m. to 12:30 p.m. on Saturday
seminars will be held on such
topics as the experimental col-
lege, grading systems and self-
directed study, and course and
teacher evaluation.

Saturday's speakers will be
Philip Werdell, editor of "Mod-
erator," and John C. Stephens,
Dean of Emory College. Wer-
dell will speak at the morning

meeting on "The Future of
Educational Reform." Stephens'
topic is to be "The Pitfalls of
Exnpr i m enta ti on. 9 9

Werdell is the author of a
pamphlet on course and teacher
evaluation which states in part
that the evaluation is "a key
to analysis, argument, and you
might say, power. The student
government has something
every member of the educa-
tional community should and
must listen to the critical
judgment of the student body."

Dean Stephens has received
national publicity in "Time"
magazine for initiating the ex-
perimental classless day at
Emory, better known to stu-
dents as "Wonderful Wednes-
day."

The closing session of the
conference will be on "Initiat-
ing Educational Reform." Stu-
dents from all Southern insti-
tutions have been invited to
participate, and Scott plans to
send 10 delegates.

DerbyDay Brings Fun,
Does Not Return Cup

by Bebe Guill

Flour and finish lines, frolic and fun characterized Sigma
Chi's annual Derby Day of spirited competition among Atlanta
area girls. Though the Derby Cup was not returned to ASC,
the freshman class tied for third place in overall competition
in the bouts held April 14 and 15, while the sophomore and
junior classes ranked in several individual events.

Opening the two-day clash
among Georgia Tech, Emory,
and Georgia State sororities and
Agnes Scott's classes was a
derby steal in which the list of
casualties grew alongside the
number of derbies cunningly
caught. Boasting wounded el-
bows, Cornelia DeLee com-
ments, "I'm probably the only
Scottie whose brain was den-
ser than the bushes I jumped
over." Despite bruises and
scraped knees, the Scott fresh-
men snatched 90 derbies to take
second place in Friday's com-
petition.

Saturday's events called for
an array of brawn and beauty.
Scott's sophomore Anne Fisher
and junior Catherine Comer
awed a panel of judges and re-
ceived the titles of second and
third runner-up respectively in
the Miss Derby Day Contest.

First place honors in the Dar-
ing Debut, in which the parti-
cipant was to utilize one mere
yard of cloth in producing an
original costume, went tofresh-
man Leslie Buchanan. Decked
in black and whiteplumes, Les-
lie presented her rendition of
Eliza Doolittlc. Third place
went to the junior class' "Oreo
Cookie," Lynn Anthony.

The sophomore class demon-
strated speed and agility in
placing first in "Skin-the-
Snake" competition while the
freshmen rallied to a fourth
place rank in that event.

The Mystery Event proved
even more mysterious when it
was announced. Standingaround
a mound of used flour, Sigma
Chi team coaches placed a pap-
er bag attached to a string
around their necks. Team rep-
resentatives ran around a base-
ball bat five times with their
heads placed on the end and
then attempted to throw water-
filled balloons into the flour-
filled sacks. The first coach
to get flour on his face was
the winner. The event, proving
too complicated for mo' t f
evolved into a free-for-all of
water and flour throwing.

Silver Survey
Scheduled

Rep Council offers Agnes Scott
students another opportunity to
indulge their marriage-orient-
ed speculations by participating
in the Silver Survey. This event
will be held on April 25th in the
McKemie Date Parlor, begin-
ning at 10 a.m. Not only does
the Survey afford an exciting
display of the finest silverware,
but it also serves as a money
making project for the school,
with no cost to the students
taking part in it.

Did you know there is a hid-
den swimming pool under the
quadrangle? This fact was de-
vulged on April Fools Day this
year when C. Benton Kline,
dean of the faculty, was talking
to some of the students who had
"decorated" his office. If you
face the rear of Main and the
colonade, the pool is located on
the left-hand side of the quad-
rangle, parallel to the Rebekah
annex, under a grate in the diag-
onal brick walk.

I talked with Samuel Guerry
Stukes, Dean Emeritus of the
Faculty, about the pool, and it
brought back memories of his
psychology teaching days here
at Agnes Scott, in the late "teen
years" of this century. If
you think the campus is small
now, you should have seen it
then!

Dean Stukes taught in one of
two small classroom buildings
which were located in part of
what is now the quadrangle, in
.ine with the Hub, which was
then the library. This was be-
fore James Ross McCain be-
came president of the college
and initiated the building pro-
gram which began with the
Bucher-Gcott gymnasium in
1923.

In the bottom of one of these
classroom buildings (located on
the far left of the quadrangle)
there was a small gym with a
tiny indoor swimming pool.
Dean Stukes said, "no man
was EVER allowed in the pool,"
but he saw it after the building
was torn down, and it was
so small, "if you pushed off
hard from one side, you could
reach the other."

by Louise Bruechert

The building of a new gym was
Dr. McCain's first project when
he became president, and it is
the one we use today. Other
additions to the campus under
Dr. McCain's extensive building
program are Buttrick, Presser,
the McCain library, the Letitia
Pate Evans Dining Hall, the in-
firmary, and Campbell. Hop-

kins, Walters, and Winship dor-
mitories, and we all know, Dana
are more recent additions un-
der Wallace M. Alston.

As for the fate of the small
swimming pool it is now being
used to store electrical equip-
ment. If anyone wishes to
reminisce or to compare past
architecture with modern im-
provements, I understand
(though I have never tried it)
she may reach the underground
pool by means of the intricate
system of sewer tunnels under
the campus. Maybe someone
could find a new hide-out a
QUIET place for study.

Kathy Stafford is swinging
into her new role as president
of Athletic Association with
plans to make the services of

gestions for half-time activi-
ties or new sports.

To include more students in
its activities AA will have ses-
sions of open fencing and tram-

Lucy Hamilton, newly elect-
ed president of Social Council,
also has plans to make Social
Council a more important part
of campus life. Social Council
plays one of the largest parts
in orientation activities, Lucy
says, in sponsoring the open
house for freshmen and their
parents, the faculty reception,
the swap shop and the fashion
show.

Ideas for the Winter Dance
weekend are already being dis-
cussed; Lucy hopes to have all
of the major arrangements con-
cerning place, music, and time
completed before the end of
this quarter. During the past
few weeks Social Council has
been distributing copies of
"Where" magazine in the Hub
and the dorm lobbies; this
magazine lists current movies,
plays and other "goings-on"
in the Atlanta area. This pro-
ject will continue in an effort to
let students know what Atlanta
has to offer in the way of rec-
reation and entertainment; fire-
sides will also continue.

Lucy will set up a committee
to consider revisions of the
dress policy, while another
committee will plan the Wed-
nesday night casuals. For the
first time, this committee will
include girls who are not on
Social Council but who will help
in calling and planning new
themes for the casuals.

Opera Arrives In Atlanta
Monday With 'La Gioconda

by Carole Robertson

The Metropolitan Opera opens its annual season in Atlanta Monday evening, May 1, with Amilcare
Ponchielli's "La Gioconda." Ponchielli (1834-1886), the teacher of both Mascagni and Puccini,
was a popular composer during his lifetime and considered by many to be Verdi's successor. His
best known work, "La Gioconda" was first presented at La Scala, Milan, April 8, 1876.

BIRGIT NILSSON will play the title role in Wednesday's per-
formance of "Turandot." The opera was written by Giacomo
Puccini and is termed his "most lavish" opera.

Rep Council Passes
New Sign-outPolicy

Representative Council passed recently a resolution pro-
viding for a new means of signing out for social engagements.
The policy was drawn up by Rules Committee, headed by Gus
Pardae,

"^he mcjor change is that whea the policy takes effect, pend-
ing passage by Administrative committee, the upperclassmen
will no longer have to sign out in ihe Dean of Student's of ice.

The opera was introduced to
the Metropolitan's repetory
during its first season on De-
cember 20, 1883, but was not
well received and was conse-
quently shelved until 1904, when
it won great acclaim with Lil-
lian Nordica and Enrico Caru-
so. The 1947 production at
the Verona Arena launched the
international career of Maria
Callas who sang the title role
of Gioconda.

Ponchielli chose as his li-
brettist Tobia Gorria, the pseu-
donym of Arrigo Boito, himself
a well-known musician and po-
et. Boito adapted the libretto
from Victor Hugo's historical
drama, "Angelo, Tyrant of Pa-
dua. As it was originally con-
ceived, the opera took place
during the Inquisition. The new
production o f "Gioconda," pre-
sented at the Metropolitan for
the first time this year, is set
in the seventeenth century, ra-
ther than during the Renais-
sance, in an attempt to give the
opera new vitality and spirit.

Ponchielli's "Gioconda" is
grand opera with all the
trappings, lavish choruses,
spectacle, a well known ballet,
"The Dance of the Hours," and
big arias. The music is rather
eclectic in quality. It has the
definite flavor of nineteenth
century Italian opera, but with
Wagnerian overtones, especi-
ally noticeable in the use of
motives.

Very briefly, the action re-
volves about the scheme that
the villain, Barnaba, has for-

mulated to win La Gioconda,
a beautiful street singer. She
is, however, in love with Enzo,
and thus Barnaba sets out to
prove Enzo unfaithful to Gio-
conda. The cast includes Re-
nata Tebaldi as Gioconda, Corn-
ell MacNeil as Barnaba and
Franco Corelli as Enzo.

'Masked Ball'

Tuesday night's production
will be Guiseppe Verdi's "Un
Ballo in Maschera." Verdi
(1813-1901) has retained his
place as one of Italy's most
outstanding composers, and
Perhaps the one man to con-
tribute most to the entire con-
cept of nineteenth century
opera. His music is melodic,
dramatic, expressive, and al-
ways conceived in terms of the
theatre. "Un Ballo in Masche-
ra" is generally considered to
be a product of Verdi's middle
period, (i.e., after 'Rigoletto"
and before "Aida" and "Otel-
lo." During this period he
sought to develop and refine his
art, moving from great em-
phasis on thrilling episodes, to
a unity of music and action.

The libretto was adapted by
Antonio Somma from the play
by Eugene Scribe. The story
deals with the love of Gustav
III, the king of Sweden, for
Amelia, the wife of his dear
friend, Anckarstrom. Due to a
series of misconstrued situa-
tions, Anckarstrom comes to
believe that his wife has been
unfaithful to him. At his own
ball, in a rage, he stabs Gus-
tav. As Gustav is dying he

The only students having to go
to the office for signing out
will be fall and winter quarter
freshmen and any others plan-
ning overnights or out-of-town
sxcursions.

Another change is ;hat with
the new rules, students going o:t
of the Decatur area in the day-
time who plan to return before
Afternoon Time L^mit will have
to sign out.

There will be sign-ou: cards
in each lirm lobby that a girl
will use when she leaves cam-
pus. These will remain in the
dorm at all times. Dates will
still have to call for the girl
at Main because there wi|rl be
hostess duty only on the week-
ends.

If the Dean's Office needs a
student who is out, the person
who is on phone co-op that nighi
will be responsible for answer-
ing the phone until 11:45 incase
the D.O. calls, she will go down
and .fin-:? the ca-d of the missing
person. This does not mean,
Gue explains, thar she wiM. have
to sit in the hall uniil 11:45.

The cards will be checked at
11:45 each night by either the
house president or one o>: the
judicials in the dorm. They will
alternate weeks of responsibil-
ity.

Kline Reveals Additional
Appointments For Faculty

emtmam

Susan R. Walker
April 26, 1967

Dean of the Faculty C. Benton
Kline has released the names of
five additional appointments to the
Agnes Scott faculty for next year.
Four full-time positions are still
to be filled.

William S. Adams will come
to Agnes Scott as associate
professor of education and will
teach courses in elementary
education. Mr. Adams is pres-
ently assistant professor of
education at Old Dominion Col-
lege. Prior to this he was prin-
cipal of two Charlotte, North
Carolina elementary schools
and assistant principal of Mey-
ers Park High School.

Mr. Adams received his B.S.
at Clemson College, M.Ed. at
the University of North Caro-
lina, and his Ed.D. at Duke
University. Mr. Adams was
suggested to Agnes Scott by
Allan Hurlbert, the director of
the M.A.T. program at Duke.
He wrote his doctoral disser-
tation under Mr. Hurlbert.

As assistant professor of his-
tory and political science, David
P. Forsythe will teach two cour-
ses in comparative government
and international relations.; he
will also teach a new course on
the U.S. and the Middle East.
Mr. Forsythe was located
through the Cooperative Col-

lege Registry while he was in
Israel working on his doctoral
dissertation. He visited and
was interviewed at Agnes Scott
two weeks after returning to
the U.S.

With his B.A. from Wake For-
est College, Mr. Forsythe re-
ceived his M.A. at Princeton
University and is a candidate
for the Ph.D. degree there. He
is a Woodrow Wilson Disserta-
tion Fellow at Princeton.

There are three new appoint-
ments to the English depart-
ment with two still pending. Jo
Allen Bradham, who applied di-
rectly to Agnes Scott for a job,
will be assistant professor of
English. Her specialty is the
eighteenth century and she will
teach a course on Johnson and
Boswell next year.

Currently associate profes-
sor of English at Belhaven Col-
lege in Jackson, Mississippi,
Miss Bradham received her
B.A. at the University of South
Carolina and her M.A. and Ph.D.
at Vanderbuilt University.

B. W. Ball has accepted a
position of assistant professor
of English at Agnes Scott and
will teach American literature.
When asked how Mr. Ball was
located for the English de-
partment, Dean Kline replied,

'I really do not know how we
got Mr. Ball's name." He add-
ed that the appointments to the
English department had been
worked on for so long that he
could not remember; he thought
Mr. Ball's name was given by
someone at the University of
Kentucky.

Mr. Ball received his B.A.
at the University of Virginia,
his M.A.T. at Duke University,
and his Ph.D. at the University
of Kentuckv. He is presently
assistant professor.

Karen Steanson is currently
a Ph.D. candidate at Yale Uni-
versity where she also received
the M.A. She received her B.A.
at Stetson University and has
taught there during summer
sessions. Shewas recommend-
ed to Agnes Scott by Yale and
here she will teach freshman
and sophomore level courses.
The seventeenth century is her
area of special interest.

Dean Kline announced some
other minor changes in the fac-
ulty. Charles B. Cousar will
again teach one section of Bible
201 and Mildred Petty will teach
one section of History 215. Sue

learns that his wife was inno-

The audiences were very re-
ceptive to themes of this nature
in which royalty was shown in a
most unbecoming light, for this
was a period of political un-
rest. The censors, however,
would not allow the portrayal of
a King's murder upon the stage.
Consequently Verdi and Somma
shifted the setting to Massachu-
setts and the King of Sweden
became the Colonial Governor
for the English crown. The
cast for this performance in-

Wednesday night Giacomo
Puccini's most lavish opera,
Turandot, will be presented with
a cast including Birgit Nilsson
as Turandot, James McCracken
as Calaf, and Anna Moff o as the
young slave girl, Liu. For Puc-
cini (1858-1924) "Turandot"
was a radical departure from
his characteristic approach to
opera in several respects. It
marked his first use o f exotic,
legendary subject matter. Most
notable, however, it was his
closest attempt at grand opera.
Puccini's operas can, gener-
ally, be best described as in-
timate and simply rendered.
This is especially well seen in
"La Boheme." But the legend

The University Experience
DiscussesEducation Reform

Sign-Out Policy

The exchange with Randolph-Macori, the
new methods of voting including the prefer-
ential ballot, the redefinition of the Deca-
tur area, and the permission to smoke in
faculty offices were just a few of the achieve-
ments of the 1966-1967 Representative
Council.

The last resolution passed by the Coun-
cil at the April 10 meeting, however, was
perhaps the most revolutionary and the one
which will be the biggest aid to the students
--if passed by administrative committee.

The new sign-out policy formulated by
Rules Committee will greatly help the stu-
dent morale and aid the Dean of Student's
office. Just think--no more slips to file.

There is one feature of the policy that we
question, however, as much as we do like the
policy itself. This is the provision that a
student going out of the Decatur area and
planning to return before Afternoon Time
Limit must sign out on her card in the lobby.

This new provision seems to hinder stu-
dent independence instead of to increase it
as does the rest of the sign-out policy.
There is now absolutely no statement about
going to the Atlanta area with girls in the
daytime. Why make one? The Dean's of-
fice has said that it helps to know where the
girls are, but does "Atlanta area" really
tell them anything? How do you get in touch
with someone in the Atlanta area 7

As a whole, however, we have to congratu-
late Gue Pardue and Rules Committee on the
sign-out policy. Even with the above provi-
sion it is better than the old one, and with-
out it, it would be excellent,,

How about a look at the ' 'Policy Regard-
ing Visiting in Men's Living Quarters" next?

Dear Mom,

I'm sure sorry you didn't
make it back for alumnae week-
end. I ran into several of your
classmates who asked all about
you. They had on stunning hats,
which reminded me a little bit
of Farmer McGregor's garden.

The highlight of the week-end
was when two little old ladies
from the class of 1917 came by
to look at Cassandra's and my
room, which used to be theirs.
At the time Cassandra was put-
ting a big peace poster over our
secret panel in the closet where
we hide our drinks and food.

They practically knocked her
down to see if the secret panel
was still there. They said they
used to keep their bottles there
(perfume, I guess) and wondered
if it was still used. To cele-
brate we pulled out a little
something and all had a cock-
tail (fruit, of course) together.

They asked us if anyone still
went tunneling (apparently that
had been one of the big events
at their twenty-fifth reunion).
We nodded and they immediate-
ly begged us to go on a little
expedition with them. They
whipped out some dungarees and
sneakers and quickly changed
(I'd been wondering what was in
those innocent looking sewing
bag>).

After tunneling under the li-
brary and colonnade, we made

the long trip from the steam
plant to the underground pool,
where we all sat as the two
ladies reminisced.

Suddenly we heard some
shouting and noted the Unicorns
approximately 3'5" away, play-
ing a dynamic game of mixies.
Strebor was furious because
Ennazus had gotten mad and
thrown her cards down. One
of the Wolfie cards (Strebor's
favorites) had slipped down the
old filter. As Strebor so aptly
put it, "All is lost save honor."
(That's their code name for the
Old Maid Cards.)

The four of us were going to
play, so we left the Unicorns as
they started the old maid game.
The play was absolutely ter-

rific I No kidding, Mom, I was
extremely impressed with all
the acting. The leads were
great, but I'll have to admit my
favorite actor was Mr. Volkoff.
He's absolutely divine, as it
were. I must run. By the way,
people keep asking about my
plans for next year. When should
I tell them. Give my love to all,
especially Butch. Write soon.
Love,
Ramona

'The University Experience
Educational Reform in the
South" was sponsored April 21
and 22 by students of Agnes
Scott College and Emory Uni-
versity. Co-chairmen were He-
len Roach of Scott and Robert
Rhorer of Emory.

At the banquet meeting Fri-
day night Charles L. Weltner,
former Georgia Congressman,
said that the university is not
worthwhile if it serves to cre-
ate only "mere competence."
He believes that an educated
man is one "who is competent
and has his abilities directed
toward a socially valued end."

In his speech entiled 'The
University in Society", the di-
rector of the Democratic Par-
ty's new Youth Division em-
phasized several things that the
university is not. First of all,
it does not exist for the "delici-
ous agonv of watching a football
game." Neither is the central
goal that of playing up to alumni
groups.

In one of his most definite
points Weltner stated that he
is definitely one of those a-
gainst the "publish or per-
ish*' policy of many universi-
ties. The university is not
created as a "scene at which
prestigious publications by the
faculty are presented."

Another fault of the big uni-
versities is the misplaced em-
phasis on research. Weltner
asks, "What does that do for
the young minds that come to
that campus?" His conclusion
was that it does very little.

The social life, according to
Weltner, is another of the mis-
placed emphases in universities
today. Many schools are used as
a "foreground for the develop-
ment of social graces" which
" do not have to be developed
at the cost of tax-exempt insti-
tutions."

His conclusion was that the
university does exist to edu-
cate but not for competence
alone. Along with competence
must come "compassion" and
with ability must come "duty."

The Saturday program in-
cluded several seminars and
speeches. Eleanor McCallie and
Jo Ray Freiler discuss the
Grading and Self- Directed Study
and the Experimental College
seminars below.

Grading

The group discussing self-
directed study and grading were
concerned about questions of
student motivation and initiative
in 'The Pursuit of Truth." We
were interested in more stu-

dent-initiated and student - or-
iented programs. Several types
of self-directed study programs
were discussed.

There is the Honors Pro-
gram type, in which a student
maintaining a certain requir-
ed average, e.g., a "B", is
eligible to study independently.

Some schools open the self-
directed study to anyone in any
field, not just the major. This
program is not set up for those
who have a certain ''acquired
knowledge" (i.e., high point av-
erage) but for those who are
motivated to make such an en-
deavor. Usually requests are
submitted to the Dean of Facul-
ty who gives permission.

Some schools require inde-
pendent study, usually in the
major. They believe that the
student needs to confront his
material personally and in
depth.

All of these programs pro-
vided for corporate endeavor of
the student and a faculty mem-
ber. The frequency of the meet-
ings and what went on in them
varied and was usually set by
the student and professor.

Another type of self-directed
study is the seminar: a small
group studying a certain sub-

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor:

The educational conference
this weekend sponsored by
Emory and Agnes Scott (Helen
Roach, NSA Coordinator) show-
ed studentsconcernedabout the
education they are getting.

Over the nation students, fa-
culty members and adminis-
trators are examining the old
and experimenting with new
styles of learning. Agnes Scott
is not alone in her evaluation
of the academic situation. We
who attended the conference saw
how many good programs Agnes
Scott had, such as independent
study, student curriculum eva-
luation, and pass-fail.

1 think that people miss the
value of the movement on edu-
cational reform if they think it
is only for structural changes.
One of the major purposes is
to stimulate academic excite-
ment. A lot of students seem
to be missing out on it with
the present system. I think we
have to consider what is the pur-
pose of education and what do
we want to get out of it before
we can initiate changes in the
structure.

Traditionally education has
been equated with learning. The
psychologists' definition of
learning is a change in beha-
viour, ie., " something that
springs from and encompasses
all of a person's experience of
life." Carl Rogers says in On
Becoming a Person that "(sig-
nificant learning) is a perva-
sive learning which is not just
an accretion of knowledge but
winch interpenetrates every
portion of (a person's ) ex-
istence."

Education then is obviously
not limited to the classroom and
books but is involved in every
phase of experience.

The class room, however,
. an, and should be, a signifi-
cant part of our education, tea-
ching us how to learn and sti-
mulating us to want to learn.

One vital aspect of the class-
room situation Is the personal
confrontation. The young stu-
dent meets with a man (or wo-

man) who is knowledgeable
in this field, has dedicated him-
self to stimulating this interest
in others, and who with a per-
sonality and view of life is an
individual, still searching and
questioning with his students.

The student also confronts
othe students. This confron-
tation ought to be challenging and
exciting. Each one of those
students has a different ap-
proach, interpretation and ap-
plication of the material. Their
interests, values and goals are
different; therefore, the learn
ing and the way it changes be-
havior will be different for each.
They all have something to gain
from each other. One of the
most valuable parts of education
is learning to live with "the
group", learning to communi-
cate and to relate to others.

Carl Rogers, the modern psy-
chologist noted for client-cen-
tered therapy, disparages the
role of the educator. He says
that no one can teach anyone
else anything. Only the indivi-
dual can teach himself. Unless
knowledge is self-appropriated,
it is of no value to the person.
The material presented in class
ought to offer some relevancy
to the person's experience.

At the same time society
needs functional people. As I
have said before, the group and
society are a necessary part
of the individual's development
and educational experience.
When a person wishes to bene-
fit from his education he ought
to question: "What are the needs
of my society? How do these
needs affect me? Where do I fit
in? What do I want to be? What
talents, abilities, interests do I
have that I want to develop and
that can be useful to the needs
I choose to fill?"

He comes to the college and
says: "How can you help me to
better understand myself and
the world? What do you have
that I need to know in my pur-
suits? What can you show me
about myself, my environment
and the world that I have not
confronted and will need to
deal with?"

What education needs to pro-
mote then, is creative, original
thinking and development. Edu-
cation should encourage arid
"permit the student, at any le-
vel, to be in contact with the
relevant problems of his exis-
tence so that he perceives pro-
blems and issues which he wis-
hes to resolve." The problems
and decisions that each genera-
tion faces in the twentieth cen-
tury are different from those of
the previous generation. It is
not the facts and information
of the past which will help
them solve their problems, but
it is the ability to think, to
deal with problems, and to use
one's individual, creative re-
sources to confront needs and to
find creative, effective solu-
tions.

What I am actually challeng-
ing is not so much the col-
lege education as the whole edu-
cational system. This type of
creative education needs to
start early. The educational and
socialization processes ought
to bring out and develop that
fresh, creative quality ofchild-
ren which we lose somewhere
along the line.

Let us take a definition of
creativity and compare it to the
product of our educational sys-
tem 'The power to see the
world in new ways, to utilize
fruitfully the abilities which one
has, to expand and reorganize
one's life, to transcend one's
previous limitations." When the
purposes and results of the
educational process are simi-
lar to those of this definition
of the creative person, then
hopefully we will be developing
people able to cope with them-
selves in a world whose pro-
blems seem to be getting out
of man's control.

Whoops- 1 got carried away I
I actually had some specific
suggestions for a more flexi-
ble program as a response to
the conference, but I guess they
will have to wait. It is best to
talk first about what we seek
from education. I welcome cri-
ticism and discussion.

Weak Script Hurts 'Liliom 9
But Production Still Good

by Sandra Earley

Yes, the sentimentalist within me was stirred. Tears came to my eyes more than once in
the course ok Blackfriars' matinee performance of "Liliom." Although it ha.l 'ts weak spots,
mainly with! I the script itself, Blackfriars made quite a pleasing show of it.

The show seemed to move slowly , at times, especially the first sc^ne. During this first scene
the transition from Liliom bantering and bullying Julie to his declaration of love for her was
not w-v'll -prepared for and, for this reason, was not quite believable.

PAGE 3

April 27, 1967

THE PROFILE

Another uncertain transition
occurred in the railroad em-
bankment scene when Liliom
stabbed himself rather than be
caught by the police. This sui-
cide on the part of the life-
loving Liliom was again not
well-grounded in the previous
action of the play. At the be-
ginning of this same scens is a
rather too loag bit of card-
playing. This serves little pur-
pose in the play other than to
ire the audience and add only
slight irony to the play.

On the whole, the play was
very well cast. Only in a few
spots did it show the difficulty
Blackfriars had in securing 16
men for the production. The
success of the play hung very
much on the experience of Dan-
iel Santacroce as Liliom, Ben-
nett Baxley as Ficsur, Richard
Lawrence Baron as Wolf and
Gus Mann as the Magistrate.

Virile Barker

Mr. Santacroce as Liliom w. 3
everything the virile, tough-
gentle carnival barker should
be; moreover, his bars chest
was magnificent.. Mr. Baron
as Wolf was a perfect physical
type for his role and in addi-
tion he played his character
hilariously.

Gus MaiiU i?i he Magistrate
was seen all too briefly. Again
the physical appearance was
good and beyond this the control
of his voice and his sense of
timing were excellen:. As he
climbed down from his high
j.idge's b$ ch a member of the
audience cried, "Don't fall!"

Bennett Baxley as Ficsur was
properly whining and punty, but
crafty. He also had a very ni :^
tonal quality in his voice.

With the exception of Cathi
Ford, all the women W3th speak-
ing roles in the play were Agnes
Scott freshmen. They per-
formed well around the solid
cast of men.

Carol Ann McKenzie who
played Julie is the prototype of
the heroine tall, blond and
slender. Her clear voice was
pleasant to liear as she made
transitions from comedy to pa-
thos in the play. A particu-
larly nice mcm=n ./as in the
cont~ast of her voice with the
deep, smooth one of Sam M.
Shiver as the Carpenter. She
also accomplished easily the
change in age from the eighteen
year old serving girl to the
mother of a sixteen year old
daughter.

Ideal Love

Certainly the highlight of Jie
play was Paula Swann as Julie's
friend Marie. Her speech about
handhol.ling, passion and ideal
love was one of the most enter-
taining of the play and she con-
tributed much needed comedy
throughout the show.

Hope Gazes as Louise, Julie's
daughter had only a small role,
but she handled it adeptly. She
was quite convincing and had a
nice touch in her responses to
Liliom.

Mother Hollunder and Mrs.
Muskat were the two older wo-
men of the play. Molly Doug-
las as Mother Hollunder had a
good physical life in her part.

Cathi Ford as Mrs. Muskat
seemed to enjoy playing the
lusty carnival owner. She stri-
ded about the stage spitting out
epithets like "dirty wench*' and
laughing a full-throated laugh as
she stood with feet firmly plan-
ted and hands on hips, Sh? li.i 1
another side also as she gently
stroked the hair of the dead
L iom.

Jerry Rentz, the show's ; .-cli-
nical director, and her stage
cre w are to be commended. The
six sets were well designed and
were moved efficiently between
scenes. In particular, the rail-
road embankment contain: d jus:
enough disturbing reality and
the courtroom between heaven
and hell, just enough delight-
ful fantasy.

With over thirty costumes to
construct, Jane Morgan and
Chris Pence accomplished an
enormous task y..<-y v~M. The
costumes were bright and in
keeping With the period oi the
play. Colors were'wvll chosen
for the characters with Julie
always in blue, Marie in green
and the caterwauling Muskat in
black and red.

Moustaches

The actor's make-up was one
of the technical highlights of the
show. Several of the men
bristled with mutton chops and
mo us aches. The audience got
a wonderful glimpse of a
starched, upturned moustache
as the "Commissioner" posed
for his phoio^" n\ Heaven's
policemen 1 ad heavenly white
pallors with hollowed-out eye
sockets. The magistral was an
excellent example of well-exe-
cuted character make-up. H.s
bald pa:^, fringe of white wool
and Huffy white eyebrows were
most enjoyable.

Another highligh: of the show
was its music. Curtain music

well chosen, but, best of all,
was the use of the "Thieves'
Soa^," from the original Broad-
way production of "Liliom."
It was pleasing when sung by
Liliom end Ficsur in solid mas-
culine voices but was used to
even greater advantage when
played hauntingly on the violin
and interspersed throughout he
action of the play.

O-i the whole, "Liliom" was

Ancient African Art
ComesTo Agnes Scott

by Marsha Williams

ATTENTION - All students wishing to obtain the good-will
or benediction, and avoid the wrath of ancestors, the Charles
A. Dana Fine Arts Building will present Ladislas Segy's Exhibi-
tion of Ancient African Art, May 4-25.
According to Miss Penelope
Mr. Segy

Campbell, who met
when she visited his gallery in
New York, he is a colorfully
dramatic artist and collector.
His own artistic expressions
take the form of creations of
wood^ and nails. For forty
years he has been studying, col-
lecting, exhibiting and popular-
izing the sculpture of African
tribes. He will lead a gallery
tour in addition to his public
lecture, "African Sculpture and
Modern Art" given on May 17.
A reception (the only reception
this quarter!) will follow the
public lecture.

How could you pass up the op-
portunity to see a horned ante-
lope mask, a YI LAD GLU with
monkey hair, the mask of a hu-

of the merciless princess, Tur-
andot, afforded Puccini the per-
fect opportunity to include great
choruses, splendid spectacle
and tremendous drama accen-
tuated by large scale orches-
tration. Puccini died, however,
before his most ambitious and
most extravagant work was
completed. Franco Alfono, his
friend and colleague, finished
the Turandot-Calaf duet in the
last act and returned to Calaf' s
compeling "Nessun dorma"for
the theme of the finale.

The world premiere of "Tur-
andot" took place at La Scala
on April 25, 1926. Arturo
Toscanini, the conductor for
this first production, stopped
the performance where Puccini
had stopped, just after the death
of Liu. On November 16, 1926,
"Turandot" was first presented
at the Metropolitan with Maria
Jeritza and Giacomo Lauri-
Volpi.

The action of the opera, adap-
ted by Guiseppe Ada mi and Ren-
ato Simoni, after plays by Goz-
zi and Schiller, involves the
proclamation set down by the
cruel and cold Princess Tur-
andot. Any prince wishing to
marry her must first answer
three riddles. If he fails to
answer correctly, he must die.
Calaf successfully answers the
riddles and then demands that
Turandot, in turn, discover his

chromed mask of the Bena Lulua
tribe used during the initiation
of young men? Nomole fertili-
ty masks, IBEJI twin-protec-
tive statues, AKUA'BA statues
which if worn in a pregnant
woman's waistcloth will assure
a good birth, and many other
such artifacts will also be ex-
hibited.

African Art is now accepted
as one of the important mani-
festations in art history. The
Africans constructed carvings
(masks, statues, and utensils
produced in wood, ivory, and
brass) necessary for their
religious ceremonies (dealing
with secret societies initia-
tions, burials, and ancestor
worship) and magical rituals
(healing, fertility, divination
and ordeal.)

Mr. Segy claims his exhibi-
tion should bring to life the
creations of native societies
and serve as a basis for com-
parison with works of other
civilizations, cultures and peo-
ples.

identity. It is only after Tur-
andot reveals her capacity to
suffer as do other human beings
that Calaf reveals his name-
it is Love.

Wood Does Study
On Anti-Theatre

by Ellen Wood

For my independent study in French under the direction
M Vladimir Volkoff, I have read several plays of Eugene
Ionesco: **The Bald Soprano!" Victims of Duty* *The Less or-
*Amedee? or How to Get Rid of It? and vv The Impromtu of the Alma.-

Under myconsiderationalso are the manuscripts, acquired
by M. Volkoff, of two contemporary French playwrights, Pierre
Gripari and Francois Paliard some of whose plays are as yet
unproduced and unpublished.

The plays of Gripari are ^Lieutenant Tenantf^Vhe Divine
Farce* ancrThe Damnation of Mephistopheles^and those of
Paliard are^Between the Star and the Pigeori'^The Bad Dreams*
"The Ideal, xV The Cannibal? and Itinerary for Tomorrow Evening.'*"
Because the idea of intuition

interests me, I decided to make
a detailed study of this pheno-
menon or its absence in the
theater of these three writers.
I have defined intuition as the
clear, immediate cognition of
truth without aid of reasoning
powers. One might say that it
is a complete understanding, the
result of which is total rapport
between subject and object.

How does this intuitive
rapport manifest itself? Gener-
ally in literature, rapport be-
tween characters is revealed
through vocabulary, sylistic
rhythm, and poetic images. One
notices that these three contem-
porary French dramatists
utilize primarily poetic images,
that the way in which they pre-
sent their conception of reality
can be considered absurd, and
that the dialogue of their plays
seems frequently devoid of
sense.

One does not find much of the
theatrical tradition in their
plays for the most part they
are unconventional. However,
in the dialogue, apparently full
of nonsense, there are poetic
images that contribute to the
profundity of this theatre. For
these reasons, I havedesignated
it as "poetic anti-theatre."

In each of the plays of the
poetic anti-theatre, there are
confrontations between the
characters as is always found
in the theatre. Since these
characters have the ability to
think and to feel, their con-
frontations, at least in certain
cases, should lead them to react
reciprocally and to have intui-
tive rapport with one another.

However, the characters in
the poetic anti-theatre seem not
to have any sort of relationships
amongthemselves. They appear
to be animals that merely exist;
they neither think nor feel pro-
foundly. As they speak to each
other, the spectator notices that
they only communicate super-
ficially.

Apparently then, there is a
contradiction in the poetic anti-
theatre between the authors'
chosen method of communica-
tion-the immediate apprehen-
sion of poetic images, -and the
incapability of the characters
to utilize that method. But
rather than a contradiction, it is
the means by which these three
writers show the two aspects of
the question the possibility of
intuitive rapport such as would
be practiced between author and
spectator, and the absence of it
among the characters.

Moreover, since these wri-
ters present their characters
practically buried in their mi-
serable condition, they must
give warning both to the spec-
tators and to themselves. The
dramatists are so conscious of
the danger of spiritual void that
they fee] obligated to show in the
poetic anti-theatre both the pos-
sibility and the habitual lack of
intuitive rapport among human
beings. In studying this theatre,
one can see how these writers
precede to present this warn-
ing.

1 have chosen four particular
aspects of my subject to study.

They are the intuitive rapport
between the characters, be-
tween characters and the super-
natural, between author and
characters, and at the most
elevated level, between author
and spectator.

In the cases of certain char-
acters, one finds a tendency to-
ward intuitive rapport, but it
is never fully realized because
these characters find them-
selves faced by other charac-
ters who do not have such a
tendency.

For example, Amedee, in
"Amedee," or How to Get Rid
of It, is full of love for his wife
Madeline and wants to enter in-
to intuitive rapport with her.
But she sees only superficiality
and decadence; her response to
his pleading is, "The toadstools I
...the toadstoolsl ...toadstools I
...toadstools!..." She sees
nothing profound in their rela-
tionship, only disgust.

There is only one character
in the poetic anti-theatre, Lieu-
tenant Popov irfLieutenantTen-
antf that even approaches intui-
tive rapport with God; he is
forced to enter into this re-
lationship after someone's
clerical error pronounced his
death. Since he is nothing in
the eyes of himself and the
world, he has no choice but
to have mystique union with God.

All of the other characters,
principally because o f their
desire for power and their own
well-being, have no capacity for
intuitive rapport with the super-
natural.

Rapport between author and
characters is very interesting
but difficult to see in the plays.
However, particularly in the
plays of Gripari and Paliard,
the blasphemous supernatural
beings are the spokesmen for
the authors.

Finally, one could seetheab-
sence of intuitive rapport be-
twee n author and spectator in
the first reaction to Ionesco's
'The Bald Soprano." About ten
years ago, at the play's prem-
iere, the spectators were
shocked since there is no bald
soprano in the play. However,
after having bee n repeatedly ex-
posed to the play, the public
began to understand that its
theme is lack of communica-
tion between human beings and
that the title is appropriate and
significant in relation to it.
Thus rapport between author
and spectator was established,
and'The Bald Soprano"became
extremely popular.

This understanding between
author and spectator is most
difficult to grasp. But it is
this rapport that the spectator
must have in order to under-
stand either the presence or
absence of rapport in the poe-
tic anti-theatre. The difficulty
is simply that the spectator
needs time to understand the
significance of such rapport
Since, when are first confronts
the, these plays often seem to
be absurd.

Season Ends
In Volleyball

Friday afternoon April 21 the
sophomores and juniors played
their final volleyball game of the
season, with the sophomores
taking both games, 15-7 and
15-8.

The sophomores have been
the only team to go undefeated
this year. The juniors have won
one of their games and the
freshmen have won one of two
games played.

There has also been a move*
made by Athletic Assocation to
investigate the possibility of
playing volleyball with some of
the Emory sororities . A call
was made by the A. A. Board
that the Delta Delta Delta's be
asked first.

Education Conference

Agnes Scott will act as host
Christian College in Madras,
school is where Mercy Samuel,
Department, regularly teaches.

Anna Zachariah, principal of
the college, which is the same
thing as president in an Ameri-
can college, has her Ph.D. in
botany and bacteriology. She
was in the United States in
1953-54 on an American As-
sociation of University Women
(AAUW) Fellowship and a Ful-
bright Travel Grant. During
that time she studied mycology
and plant pathology at the Uni-
versity of California.

Miss Zachariah's interest in
Agnes Scott lies in five general
areas: administrative proce-
dures, faculty counseling sys-
tems, student-faculty commit-
tees, resident hall programs,
and library administration. In
connection with these topics she
will be conferring with Wallace
M. Alston, president; C. Benton
Kline, dean of the faculty; Car-
rie Scandrett, dean of women;
Edna Byers, librarian; and the
biology department.

As a guest of the college dur-
ing her four day visit, Miss
Zachariah will stay in the Alum-
nae House.

ject. A good addition to this
and other courses is the stu-
dent-teaching or "abstracts".
Each person takes a certain
topic of interest in the couse,
does research independently,
and then teaches the class.

The problem of grading was
a problem, we all agreed.
Grades were initiated as a sti-
mulus to learning, but have now
become the object and goal of
study and in some cases inhi-
bit learning.

We separated the ideas of
grades and testing because
there is a definite value and
learning process in testing. Ac-
hievement rating of some sort
is constructive. Constructive
criticism on tests and papers
helps the student. Pass-fail is
one opportunity for this.

Another suggestion was that
grades could be entered as
recommendations by the tea-
cher instead of numerical quan-
tities. A student's transcript
would consist of notes instead
of impersonal letter grades.

Some courses, especially in-
dependent ones which are dif-
ficult to grade, incorporate
self - grading; the student
grades himself considering
such factors as how much work
he did, what he thought he learn-
ed, and how he thinks his out-
put approached his abilities,
etc. It has been noted that the
student's grade is often lower
than what the professor's rat-
ing is.

Other general comments
were that southern students,
especially girls, were too po-
lite. The student should "chal-
lenge the professor every step
of the way*'. Also teachers were
considered to "benevolent";
they ought to challenge learn-
ing and questioning by putting
"obstacles" in the way (not
grades). All agreed that the
wurk load per quarter was too
heavy for both faculty and stu-
dents.

Experiment

I he first thing that the dis-
cussion group on experimental
colleges decided was. as Philip
Werdell, editor of 'The Mo-

derator," so correctly said,
"education problems are
clumsy, not precise."

During the first half of the
period the U.N.C. delegation
tried to bring the other stu-
dents to an understanding of
just what an experimental col-
lege is and does. Then they eva-
luated it.

The University of North
Carolina student government
began the experimental col-
lege there this year. Tired of
stale curriculum and stagnant
classes, bored students list-
ed topics .that they were in-
terested in for seminar study
groups.

Then student government of-
ficers visited faculty members
and asked them if they would
be willing to lead these extra,
non-credit meetings. The pro-
fessors agreed enthusiastical-

iy.

However, the student re-
sponse was even more over-
whelming. Over 500 students
signed for and took these out-
side meetings with their papers
and other preparation.

To keep the atmosphere as
fresh and new as the subjects,
new methods of teaching, study-
ing, and learning were tried.
The groups met in homes, stu-
dent center rooms, and one
group even met, quite success-
fully, in a tavern.

Papers, if required, had no
set date due. Neither grade nor
credit was given. Students, and

Anna J. Bridgman, head of the
biology department will hold an
informal dinner in Miss Zacha-
riah's honor on the evening of
her arrival, Monday, May 1.

Edward McNair and the Public
Relations Department.

Guest Seen
With Adams
At Concert

Thursday night, April 27, a
concert will be given by John
Adams in MacLean Auditorium.

The concert, to begin at 8: 15,
will consist of three pieces.
The first number will be Cha-
conne, an ancient composition
by Vitali, with Mr. McDowell
accompanying on the piano.

Guest artist will be Mrs. Ro-
maigne Adams who will perform
a Prokofieff, "Sonata in D ma-
jor," for violin and piano.

Mr. and Mrs. Adams, well
known in the Atlanta area, are
both members of the Atlanta
Symphony.

faculty leaders read, discussed,
lectured, presented and criti-
cized papers.

Since the end of these first
seminars, not only has the stu-
dent and faculty enthusiasm in-
creased, but the administration
has given several of the courses
accreditation yet leaving them
unstructured.

The student government
hopes that some of the flexi-
bility and variety of method,
structure, subject matter will
eventually enter the required
courses.

Members of the group from
Scott and Emory were happy to
discover that their schools
either had experimental col-
leges of this sort or programs
of seminars, independent study,
and courses with open subject
matter that could be easily
adapted to this form of pro-
gram if the students so de-
sired.

Beginning clumsiness of
terms and aim, the group evolv-
ed a definition and an exam-
ple of this kind of academic
freedom that gave, if not pre-
cision, at least a promise of a
solution to one academic pro-
blem.

Dance Group
Concert Set
Friday Night

Friday, May 12 the Agnes
Scott College Dance Group will
present its annual spring con-
cert. The production, which has
been moved from Dana back to
Gaines Chapel, will begin at
8:15 p.m.

Mollie Dotson, sponsor for
the dance group, and the mem-
bers of the group have choreo-
graphed the concert them-
selves. The theme of the pro-
duction is dances from around
the world. A modern dance in-
terpretation of the Salem Witch
Craft Trials will be the repre-
sentative dance from America.

Miss Dotson and the dance
group have put much time and
effort into this concert. As
Miss Dotson and Candy Walden
said, the preparation was fun
and rewarding, but the work
wasn't all "peaches 'ncream."

For instance, thedance group
had an opportunity for a trial
run when they gave a concert
Sunday, April 15 to open the
Fine Arts Festival of Columbus
College. Friday night before
the Sunday concert, the dancers
found themselves with choreo-
graphy and costumes to finish.
Dancers, boyfriends, and fri-
ends gathered in the gym for a
how ever-long- it- took bout with
can-can shirts, sewing mach-
ines, and the record player.

Rotary Club
Gives Award
To McCurdy

The Atlanta Rotary Club pre-
sents an annual award to out-
standing seniors from Agnes
Scott, Emory, Georgia Tech,
Oglethorpe, and Georgia State.
This award is based on scholar-
ship and leadership, with parti-
cular emphasis on scholarship.
The award, usually a watch, was
presented on May 8, 1967.

The five recipients were in-
troduced by their college presi-
dents and each gave a three-
minute talk on "Why I Think
It Is Challenging and Exciting
To Be Graduating from College
This June Some Things I Am
Looking Forward To."

The recipient this year from
Agnes Scott is Jane McCurdy.
Jane has been an outstanding
scholar, and has shown leader-
ship ability in many phases of
campus life. She has been on
the Honor Roll for three years.
Her freshman year she was a
member of Representative
Council, and won the Rich Prize
for distinctive academic work
in the freshman class.

Her sophomore year, Jane
was a member of Judicial Coun-
cil, and was secretary of the
council her junior year. During
her senior year, Jane has serv-
ed as Chairman of House Presi-
dents' Council, and as treasurer
of Mortar Board; she was
elected to Phi Beta Kappa and
Who's Who In American Col-
leges and Universities; she re-
ceived a Woodrow Wilson hon-
orable mention, and was elec-
ted permanent president of her
class.

Trustees Meet, Announce
Faculty, Staff Promotions

At its spring quarter meeting the Agnes Scott Board of Trustees acted upon three measures for
the present and next college sessions. President Wallace M. Alston announced these to the college
community at Convocation Wednesday, May 10.

CANDY WALDEN REHEARSES
For Friday's Dance Concert*

The modern dance version
of the Salem Witch CraftTrials
is one of the most powerful
numbers that the dance group
has done. The girls have done
a lot of research to get the cor-
rect emotional interpretation.
The group has also done a good
bit of work on their costumes
which they designed them-
selves.

The Board of Trustees en-
dorsed a memorial fund to be
established in the name of Susan
Robinson Walker, late instruc-
tor of art. A committee compos-
ed of the members of the art
department and students headed
by Sally Bainbridge, chairman
of Arts Council, will collect
contributions and select an art
piece to be purchased in re-
in emberance of Mrs. Walker.

Contributions are being col-
lected through dormitory rep-
resentatives and in the offices
of Mary A. Bond, Anne Staple-
ton, and Mary Lindig. Checks
should be clearly designated for
this fund.

The Board of Trustees also
granted a number of f acuity pro-
motions effective at the begin-
ning of the 1967-68 session.
Florene J. Dunstan will be Pro-

fessor of Spanish, Sara L. Ripy,
Professor of Mathematics,
Margaret G. Trotter, Professor
of English, Roberta Winter,
Professor of Speech and Drama,
and Elizabeth G. Zenn, Profes-
sor of Classic Languages and
Literatures.

Other promotions are Jack
L. Nelson, Associate Professor
of English and Claire M. Hu-
bert, Assistant Professor of
French.

Five new faculty and staff
appointments were also made by
the Board of Trustees. Marga-
ret W. Pepperdene will be
chairman of the English Depart-
ment. Barbara M. Pendleton
will become Associate Director
of Alumnae Affairs and Julia
T. Gary will return from leave
as Associate Dean of the Faculty
and Associate Professor of

Publish Or Perish

Recent Publications Reveal
Interests Of Scott's Faculty

by Marsha Williams

"Publish or Perish" has become as meaningful a phrase on most college campuses as the
famous, "Now Let Good Digestion Wait on Appetite,..." is here at Scott. Publication has be-
come almost as great (or greater) a faculty responsibility as teaching. An impressive list of
copyrights helps at the time of hiring, but is mandatory for advancement.

Chemistry. Dorothy H. Turner
will be Supervisor of Dormi-
tories.

A number of faculty and staff
members have been granted
leaves for the 1967-68 session.
William J. Frierson will be on
leave for fall quarter. On leave
for the entire year will be John
A. Tumblin, Frances C. Cauld-
er, Philip B. Reinhart and C.
Sylvia Chapman.

Retiring faculty and staff
members include Llewellyn
Wilburn, Associate Professor
Physical Education, Janef New-
man Preston, Assistant Prof es-
sor of English, George P.
Hayes, Professor of English,
Pierre Thomas, Assistant Pro-
fessor of French, and Annie
Mae F. Smith, Supervisor of
Dormitories.

The Board of Trustees also
expressed appreciation to the
Agnes Scott administration,
faculty, and staff for a sucess-
ful year. It gave especial thanks
to the student leaders of the
1966-67 session. Dr. Alston
commented in Convocation that
this year's student leaders
"have measured up with dignity,
good sense, and faithfulness."
He said that it has been a good
year in student affairs and aca-
demic work and in the quality
of leadership and followship.

Dean C. Benton Kline con-
firms that at Agnes Scott, nei-
ther faculty hiring and advance-
ment nor granting of salaries
is contingent upon a profes-
sor's publications. In any aca-
demic community, though, there
will be continuous education -
(Yes, even the Doctors need to
learn) which results in pub-
lished material. The follow-
ing are the most recent re-
sults of this faculty education.

Walter B. Posey's book,
"Frontier Mission: A History
of Religion West of the Southern
Appalachians to 1861 "was pub-
lished last spring. It has been
highly recommended and can be
found in the Agnes Scott Li-
brary. New editions of Erika
M. Shiver's German books were
also printed lastyear. The Uni-
versity of Dallas Press is soon
to publish Florene Dunstan's
'Translation of Gonzales
Pena's 'La Historia de la Lit-
eratura Mexicana.' "Michael J.
Brown will spend the summer in
England finishing the research
for his book, "The Career of Sir
Thomas Roe, (1580-1644)."

Shorter studies (articles and
reviews) are also in publication
by Scott faculty members. The
Archaelogical Institute of Am-
erica has accepted Paul L. Gar-
ber's revised article, "A Re-
construction of Solomon'sTem-
ple." Elvena Green's article,
'Three Aspects of Richard
Steele's Theory of Comedy"
was accepted for publication by
the "Educational Theatre Jour-
nal." "On Doing Something
Shocking," John Tumblin's ar-
ticle for the "Alumni Quarter-

ly," was printed in the Spring
Issue, 1966.

Chloe Steel's study of the
search for self in "Du Cote de
chez Swann" appeared in 'The
Arch." Two works from H.
Richard Hensel's song cycle for
women's voices have been ac-
cepted by the Associated Music
Publishers of New York. Mar-
garet Pepperdene 's review of

Stanley B. Greenfield's book,
"A Crucial History of Old En-
glish Literature," appeared in
April of 1966 in "Choice" ma-
gazine. New professors, Con-
stance S. Maizlish, Geraldine
M. Meroney, and Vladimir Vol-
koff have also published short
studies or works.

GUY HARGROVE of the University of South Carolina will
perform songs of Claude Debussy at convocation Wednesday,
May 17.

Wednesday
Sees Works
Of Debussy

Guy Hargrove, a member of
the Department of Music at the
University of South Carolina,
will sing at convocation next
Wednesday, May 17. His pro-
gram will be a short lecture
and recital on the songs of
Claude Debussy. This is es-
pecially appropriate at this time
as next year is the 50th anni-
versary of the death of this com-
poser.

Mr. Hargrove was born in
Memphis, Tennessee, in 1932.
He attended the New England
Conservatory of Music in Bos-
ton, Massuchusetts, and recei-
ved his Bachelor and Master
of Music degrees there. In
1963, he received a Fulbright
Grant for study in Paris where
he studied art-song with the
noted singer Pierre Bernac.

Mr. Hargrove has appeared
as soloist with numerous choral
groups and orchestras includ-
ing the New England Conserva-
tory Orchestra and the Boston
Chamber Singers, and he was
a member of the Boston Opera
Company 1959-1961. He joined
the faculty of the University of
South Carolina in 1965 where he
teaches voice, opera workshop,
history of song, and history of
opera.

Mr. Hargrove also has per-
sonal ties with Agnes Scott;
his wife, the former Nancy Du-
vall is a 1963 graduate.

Susan R. Walker

The death of Susan Robinson Walker, in-
structor of art, was a shock to all of us at
Agnes Scott. It was a shock, but the feeling
of loss is now muted somewhat by the things
she left to us.

During the two years she spent here, the
art department was greatly enriched by her
presence. Left to us are the concrete things
in her pottery and weaving, but beyond this

are the intangible things the knowledge

of art history she taught to students, the
ability to look beyond the obvious, and in-
spiration to see and express life itself.

MOCKINGS
FROM
RAMONA

Dear Mom,

You'll be so happy to know
that I've hit all the real cul-
ture spots this week opera and
Lockheed. Opera was really
great. The mistake was trying
to eat at Seven Steers. We ar-
rived at 6:40 and had to leave
without supper at 8.

We wanted to dash out for
something during an intermis-
sion and knew that we'd have to
leave our home in the sky (i.e
the cheapest seats) with the
closing of the curtains. So we
decided to sit in the aisle for
the excitement and get-away
convenience.

As soon as we got settled, a
loud party of four trooped in
and sat behind us, completely
blocking the escape route. One
man stuck his umbrella in my
back several times, another
kicked B.D., and one woman
turned seven pages of her pro-
gram in McCurdy's hair.

After the first aria, they
stood up noisily and made a big
production of sitting down in
what they loosely called "our
seats." You guessed it, they
were our seats.

I'm afraid we laughed through
a good bit of that act, and looked
forward to throwing them out
next intermission. Unfortun-
ately for us, they realized the
mistake, probably since our
belongings were all over the
place and left of their own
accord.

Probably you're wondering
why I went to Lockheed. Well,
that actually is not the whole

story. 1 went to Stone Mountain
first. Poppy's brother came
down last weekend and stayed
the logical place Stone Moun-
tain. So we got up at 6 and
picked him up at 7 so we could
make his mysterious appoint-
ment at 8. Yes, at Lockheed.

You know, since we're on day-
light-savings time, it's very
lovely at that time of day. Es-
pecially when buckets of rain
are pouring and tornadoes
threatening.

We made it out there all
right, but things did not go well
inside Lockheed. We went the
wrong way everywhere and to
all sorts of unauthorized places.
For instance, the runway. I'll
never know how that happened.
I looked up and saw a sign
which said Watch for taxiing
aircraft. Poppy looked up and
saw a taxiing aircraft.

The funny part came while
Tom was having his interview.
We meet the Reverend Wilson
Woodrow, who urged us to write
him at 630 Morrow Ave., Ma-
con. Got that, Mom? We were
sorry to miss our regular ser-
mon, but seeing him compen-
sated.

I must tell you about the dia-
bolical glasses breaker. Ev-
eryone's glasses are turning
up with a bullet hole-like hole
mysteriously in one lens. We
suspect a burgular with a lead-
pea pea-shooter.

I must go stand in line for
my senior opera tickets.
Love,
Ramona

Contributors for this week areviarcia Caribaltes,
Elizabeth Crum, Terri Langston, and Becky Mcivaer.

The winner of the 1967 Pulitzer Prize
for general excellence in editorial writing,
in my estimation, could not have been better
chosen. Eugene Patterson, editor of the
Atlanta Constitution, is familiar to most
Scott students because of his speech here in
October, his frequent attendance at other
activities here, and his daily columns in the
morning paper.

It seems fitting that Patterson, when in-
formed of his honor, was in San Francisco
attending a meeting of the U.S. Commission
on Civil Rights of which he is Vice-Chairman.
In typical Patterson fashion, his comment on
the honor, as quoted in The Constitution, was
"It's an honor above all to the readers of
The Constitution for being fair enough to read
it even if they disagree. I appreciate the
audience of the State of Georgia."

This particular aspiring journalist believes
that the award is an honor to Eugene Patter-
son for being conscientious, honest, and cour-
ageous enough to print what he believes in
spite of possible (or should we say probable)
public disagreement. If I could ever live up
to his standards, I would have achieved one
of my goals in journalism.

If you ask me, Eugene Patterson deserves
not only the Pulitzer Prize but also the respect
and gratitude of every Scott student, Atlantan,
Georgian, and American. This is my chance
to say that he certainly has mine.

Public Service

There seems of late to be much student
interest in the major league sports events
going on at the Atlanta Stadium. Baseball
conversations and discussions of the merits
of soccer are overheard quite frequently.

So as public service this week we are
publishing the schedules of the Braves and
Chiefs through June 10. This is done because
of several requests and not just because your
editor happens to be an ardent Braves fan.

Fans Appear

Speaking of being a fan, I notice several of

them around the dorms lately electric ones

that is. Is it the heat of the weather or the

pace of spring quarter bringing them out?

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor:

There has been a lot of talk
about Experimental Colleges.
I thought it might be interest-
ing to the campus to learn that
Scott has one I

It was started before we even
knew the term or that it was
part of educational reform.
Some of us wanted to continue
reading French, but knew that
we could never pass an upper
level course.

We talked to Mrs. Hubert
aoubt it. She was as interested
as we were because she has been
doing special study on Camus.
We limited ourselves to one
book, "La Peste."

After posting sign for gen-
eral publicity, one person re-
sponded. This brought the num -
ber up to five. Just perfect. We
met last week for an hour. It
was great. Some read the book
in French, others in English.
The discussions were in En-
glish, so we would know what
was going on. Mrs. Hubert gave
us some general background on
Camus' life. We talked about
what we knew of his philoso-
ply; she filled in our meager
knowledge. After briefly vi-
sioning the novel as a whole,
we discussed the development

of the characters and their re-
lations to the problem of the
plaque in about the first third
of the book. We plan to meet
twice more.

The discussion was very in-
formal. We were not intimi-
dated by a lecture atmosphere,
or by each other since we all
knew that we knew very little.
There were no pressures of
assignments, tests, or papers.
Our only motive for being there
or motivation for studying was
personal interest.

We did not try to get credit
for it. I think it would be a good
thing though if eventually Scott's
curriculum requirements be-
came flexible enough so that
students who were interested
in a subject and found a pro-
fessor who wished to study it
with them could get credit for
it. A certain structure, such
as a final paper, could be re-
commended or "the group"
could decide what they thought
was appropriate.

We have really enjoyed our-
informal study of Camus. We
welcome others to experiment
with education. I want to keep
this short, so I'll sign out.

MOVE OVER GUYS! I GOT A RING, TOO

Bien Hoa, Vietnam
To The Editor:

We, the undersigned, are'
serving with the United States
Army in Vietnam. The climate
is bad and the hours long and
about the only thing we have
to look forward to is mail call.
When we receive mail, we are
elated and when we do not (which
is more often the case) we
cannot help being disappointed.

Since morale is an important
factor in the effectiveness of
an army, we struck upon the
idea of writing to a few news-
papers and asking them to pub-
lish a list of our names. If we
were to receive a positive
response, we would only need
to write to one, but we corldn't
be sure that any one newspaper
would publish the list, so we
decided to write to a few.

We hope that you will be the
ones who do print the list. The
letters will be received by us
if the writers address them
including our name, rank, and
service number in the following
format:

Saga Serves Favorites
As Student Poll Result

by Betty Sale

All you fervent dieters prepare to let those appetites run
wild for one delicious day next week. Monday, May 15, will be
Favorites Day in the Agnes Scott dining hall, compliments of
Tom Lind and Saga Food Service. This treat will be planned
according to the results of the food survey conducted several
weeks ago,

PAGE 3

May 11, 1967

THE PROFILE

Breakfast should attract all
confirmed bacon-lovers, for
crisp bacon won top honors
among breakfast meats with
grilled ham and sausage links
tying for second place.
Scrambled and fried eggs will
be served, along with waffles,
the favorite sweet dish.
Favorite fruits include grape-
fruit halves and cantalope, and
juices will be both orange and
grapefruit.

The lunch meats will be the
good old American delicacies
hot dogs and hamburgers, along
with chili and grilled cheese
sandwiches. The favorites
among vegetables will be
French-style green beans,
broccoli and French-fries. Of
the top ten salads, there will be
a choice of citrus fruit
segments, cottage cheese with
sliced fruit, deviled eggs, Wal-
dorf and tossed salads.
Luncheon desserts to be served
are fresh fruit, chocolate-chip
cookies and brownies.

Dinner entrees will include
Southern-fried chicken, the top
item, hamburger steaks, and
breaded shrimp. The dining hall
graciously will forego another
favorite for this special day
roast beef.

By popular demand, vege-
tables are to be asparagus,
whole kernel corn, baked and
whipped potatoes. Apple pie,
strawberry shortcake, and
frosted brownies are more

favorite desserts, and will be
served at dinner.

This survey constitutes only
one of the joint efforts of our
dining hall managers and the
student Food Committee to es-
tablish good relations between
the dining hall and its patrons.
According to Tom Lind, the
Food Committee has been very
helpful in pointing out areas for
improvement in the dining hall's
operation. He is grateful to the
efforts of these committee
members who. have helped es-
tablish the important communi-
cation between the Saga mana-
gers and the student body.

Mr. Lind feels that another
important aid to his planning
are the student suggestion lists
which have been posted in each
dorm. - Although the mass of
conflicting preferences is often
confusing, these suggestions
reveal general taste trends
which he notes and incorporates
in the planning of each week's
menu.

His plans for next year in-
clude the development of a two-
way communication by which the
dining hall may make some sug-
gestions of its own to the
student-body. In this way,
certain inconveniences which
the students cause for each
other, such as leaving their
trays on the tables, or holding
up the breakfast line to drink
their juice, may be alleviated.

Ladislas Segy Lectures
On Ancient African Art

Originator of the only gallery in the world devoted solely
to Ancient African Art, Ladislas Segy will present the lecture
"African Sculpture and Modern Art" on May 17 in Gaines.
Mr. Segy is a native of Hungary and resided in Paris for 18
years. As a painter and critic, ne was closely associated with
the masters of the Ecole de Paris. In Paris, he began to col-
lect African Art and to study its relation to modern art. By
1932, Mr. Segy's collection was well known.

Continuing his interest in Af-

rican Art, Mr. Segy came to
America in 1936 and opened
the Segy Gallery in New York
City in 1950. A part of La-
dislas Segy's collection of An-
cient African Art is on display
in the Dana Fine Arts Building
until May 25.

Awarded an honorary doctor-
ate in 1953, Mr. Segy has lec-
tured at numerous colleges and
universities in the United States
and South America. He has pub-
lished nearly 50 essays in var-
ious journals in five languages.
He has also published three

books, the latest being "Afri-
can Sculpture Speaks." In its
third printing, this book ex-
plores the meaning, sources
and content of African Art and
its relation to European Civil-
ization.

During his lecture, Mr. Segy
will use 30 slides to analyze
African sculpture and to show
its relation to the Cubist works
of Picasso, Litchitz and Glei-
zes and to the paintings of
Cezanne. Other African works

Agnes Scott To Agnes Erskine

TumblinTo SpendYear
With AID In Brazil

by Sharon Lagerquist

iHabla usted Portuguese? John A. Tumblin, Professor of
Sociology, does; ne was born in Brazil of missionary parents.
He will soon be making use of his Portuguese because during
his year of absence in 1967-68 Mr. Tumblin will be working
for the U.S. Agency for International Development in Brazil.

As a private contractor, Mr.
Tumblin's official title is ad-
viser to the Administrative Di-
rector of Agnes Erskine Col lege
in Recife, Brazil. The college
is a Presbyterian one situated in
Northeast Brazil.

Mr. Tumblin's advisory ca-
pacity deals mainly with the
development of basic adult edu-
cation programs. The core of
the program, which is financed
1/2 by AID, 1/4 by Brazil, and
1/4 by private interests, is li-
teracy.

Being taught now are about
120,000 people, and the trainers
are working toward the imple-
mentation of literacy with job
skills and training in manage-
ment, agricultural technique,
marketing, and teaching.

Although he will not teach,
Mr. Tumblin will travel ex-
tensively visiting adult train-
ing centers and acting as lia-
ison between the Brazilian and
U.S. governments. The pro-
grams, which were first tested
for 6-8 months in various pilot
programs in slum areas, are
carried on in the villages, some
very remote.

The literacy classes, led by
a Brazilian, are held in a vil-
lager's home. This process
is only one stage of the AID
program which also provides
for the training of the teachers,

the furnishing of the primers
and other teaching materials.
AID uses the most up-to-date
phonemic and morphemic tech-
niques in its adult education
plans.

Not only does AID provide
teachers in the villages but
also food. Through distribu-
tion of surplus foodstuffs, AID
encourages attendance to liter-
acy classes because only those
who attend regularly are given
food gifts . Besides serving as
incentives for attendance, the
food gives the villagers more
energy and thus upgrades their
capacity to learn.

Mr. Tumblin states that the
major problem is that of the
adults' attitude. They seem to
have a psychic barrier to lear-
ning perhaps because they feel
that it is for children to be
taught to read and write not
for adults.

Mr. Tumblin seems very ex-
cited about his new undertak-
ing which will begin this sum-
mer, and his whole family is
looking forward to a stay in
Recife because Brazil is so
much a part of them. So bone
up on your Portuguese and drop
in to visit the Tumblins in Re-
cife this summerl

Writes About
Pub History

by Kay Parkerson

When walking down near the
hockey field, have you ever no-
ticed a small house south of
Campbell Science Building?
(It's the one with the Do Not
Enter sign out front). It now
houses the dynamic publishing
interests of Agnes Scott-the
AURORA, the SILHOUETTE,
and that great metropolitan
newspaper, the PROFILE. This
is when it derived the name of
the Pub. (Contrary to general
opinion, no liquor has ever
been served here).

But before it rose to its pre-
sent station of power and pres-
tige, it must have had some oth-
er function. So this mild-man-
nered reporter set out to find
its true history.

Once upon a time, before
the advent of Campbell, a row
of homes stretched behind But-
trick. Some were owned pri-
vately; others belonged to the
college and faculty.

When Dr. Gaines died, the
school bought one of the homes
and gave it to Mrs. Gaines as
a residence. She lived there
until her death and then Dean
Scandrett moved in. She re-
mained there until 1957, when
Dean Kline moved from the
house she occupies now on Can-
dler.

The house was then turned
over to the various publication
staffs who have used it ever
since.

PBK Honors
Its Initiates
With Banquet

According to Agnes Scott's
Phi Beta Kappa president, Eliz-
abeth Zenn, the annual Phi Beta
Kappa banquet will be held on
Thursday, May 11 in the Sky-
room of the Decatur Federal
Building in Decatur.

An initiation ceremony will
be held preceding the dinner.
At this the Phi Beta Kappa mem-
bers elected last quarter will
receive formal recognition of
their membership in this or-
ganization.

Phi Beta Kappa is a scho-
lastic honorary society and the
first of the Greek letter so-
cieties ever founded in Ameri-
ca. Agnes Scott's Beta Chap-
ter was the second formed in
Georgia.

Government Will Give
Students Tax Credits

The United States Senate has approved by a 53-23 vote a
plan to provide a federal income tax credit o> =.ip to $325 for
tuition, books and fees paid by students in colleges, univer-
sities and other posi-high school institutions. Final enact-
ment of the plan probably will depend o: he decisions made
by a Senate-House of Representatives conference committee.

The tax credit plan waj of-
fered Friday, April 14, 1967,
by Senator Abraham Ribicoff,
D-Conn., as an amendment to
a House-passed bill which would
restore the investment tax cre-
dit to businessmen.

Under :he amendment offered
by RibicoTf and accepted by the
Senate, the tuition and fee cn: lit
is 75 per cent of the first $200
paid, 25 per cent of the next
$300 and 10 per cent of the
next $1,000. The credit is
subtracted from the inco ie tax
owed the government.

The credit is available to any
person who pays the tuition*

Social Council Honors
'Neat Girls 9 On Campus

by Marilyn Merrell

Social Council announces a new idea in campus recognition.
The board has decided to honor four girls a month on the basis
of their neatness in dress, make-up, and general appearance.

The idea was formulated early winter quarter. The first
honorees were Gaby Guyton, Judy Roach, and Dee Hampton.
Recently, Social Council elected four more "neat girls" with
a representative from each class. Senior Suzanne McCaslin,
junior Adele Josey, sophomore Minnie Bob Mothes, and fresh-
man Jenny Reid were selected, again on the basis of neatness.

able to live without." In

From interviews with each
girl one can learn some of the
secrets of her neatness. Minnie
Bob Mothes laughingly said
"Dee and I get up every morning
at 6:30 so we car be 'neat.' "
Maybe this is one way to assure
neatness; but these girls also
buy neat, tailored clothes, care
for them, and wear them with
flare.

Suzanne McCaslin, who has
been married for two years, be-
lieves married life makes it ea-
sier to be neat. Of course, her
time allotments are different
than a school girl's, but she
finds more time to get things
done.

Suzanne is a sociology major
doing her practice teaching this
quarter. When she goes shopp-
ing, sleeveless linen dresses
that will go anywhere attract
her attention. Her favorite
clothes are simple and tailored.

Junior Adele Josey prefers
buying shoes over anything, us-
ually buying shoes first, then
a dress to match. Adele, a
history major, hopes to work
in Europe, India, or Hawaii as
a history researchist.

Adele commented that when
buying clothes she has to be
careful since she is short. "I
have to pass up many cute styles
because I consider how it looks
on me." Adele's wardrobe con-
sists of bought clothes and those
made by her mother.

Minnie Bob Mothes is a
sophomore from Charlottes-
ville, Virginia. She plans to ma-
jor in political science and his-
tory. When shopping for
clothes. Minnie Bob's selec-
tions have to be those she is

not

other words, she will not buy
unless the item explicitly suits
her personality. Minnie Bob
usually selects the tailored
clothes; but for fun she likes a
few of the latest "wild things."

Jenny Reid, a freshman from
Austell, Georgia, chooses cas-
ual clothes above all others.
The bright citrus colors are
Jenny's favorites; yet she thinks
"pastel shoes are fun."

In clothes selection, Jenny
considers not only if the clothes
look good, but also if they look
good on her. She chooses
colors that coordinate her
wardrobe and is careful not to
choose too many clothes of the
same color. Jenny says she
enjoys the clothes her mother
makes for her because these
have individuality.

Thus, it would be available to
working students and wives as
well as to parents and other
relatives. Parents with more

than one child in college or
graduate school may get a sep-
arate credit for eicii

"Over two- thirds of Ihe be ne-
fi:s of :his amendment would go
to families earning less than
$10,000 a year," Ribicoff said.
A formula reduces the amount
of the credit available to high
bracket taxpayers.

Capkol observers said an
mportant part in the final de-
cision on the tuition tax credit
plan will be played by Congress-
nan Wilbur D. Mills, D-Ark.,
chairman of the House Ways and
Means Committee. So far, he
has taken no public stand on the
measure which long has been
opposed by the national Admin-
istration.

In ofiering the uiition tax cre-
dit amendment, Senator Ribicoff
said there is an urgent need for
tax relief for persons faced w; ih
the increasing costs of higher
education. "In the long run,"
he ^aid, "my amendment wot 1

Illiens Talk
In Chapels

On Culture

At Tuesday chapel, May 2,
Anna Belle Ulien, assistant pro-
fessor of French, spoke of the
increased cultural awareness
she has seen in Atlanta during
the last five years.

"Galleries range from the
popular type to those that try
to form and elevate the taste
of the community." Among
them are the socially proper,
Gallery 44, Mandorla, of the
"way-out" variety, and Heath,
in the Fox theatre building,
where art is a business.

Colleges also play an im-
portant part in furthering the
cultural life of the Atlanta area.

What is our role? Mrs. 111-
ien assures us that women are
usually the instigators of cul-
tural activity in the family. One
step that we can take now is to
join the Atlanta High Museum
where student membership is
only $5 a year.

Mrs. Ulien speaks for Gal-
lerie Alien and others when she
says that, "Galleries and ex-
hibitions always welcome those
who come just to look or
browse" and she urges us to do
so.

Mrs. Illien concluded that for
culture to have a meaningful
growth we must carry it
through. 'There are so many
forms of art today that every-
one can find something that
really appeals to him person-
ally." it is up "to us to create
and continue a vital, interested
and discriminating public.

of our vasi, complex physical
technology but in our minds,
in our skills, in our ability to
use these wisely and well."

Voting in favo.- of the Ribi-
coff amendment were both Ri-
chard B. Russ 'll and Herman
Talmadge of Georgia.

YWCA Elects
Ann Johnson

As President

Ann Worthy Johnson, the Di-
rector of Alumnae Affairs for
Agnes Scott, was elected to the
Presidency of the Atlanta Young
Women's Christian Association
two weeks ago. Miss Johnson
said that her whole experience
in life had been geared to solv-
ing the problems of women and
girls through her work as Alum-
nae Director and that such ex-
perience led to involvement in
the YWCA.

Miss Johnson became inter-
ested in YWCA work while she
was a student at Agnes Scott.
In fact, severalASC alumnae are
involved currently with a pro-
gram of teaching creative writ-
ing and art for the YWCA.

The YWCA is very different

ference be mentioned? It is a

Emergence-

In Review

The 1966-1967 school year here at Agnes
Scott began at leadership retreat with the
theme of emergence, The idea was carried
on into Black Cat with the lyrics of the
year song stating, "We emerge, and we're
just on the verge of great plans for new
student demands in '67 V In retrospect,
we can now see just how appropriate this
theme was and how well it has been ful-
filled.

The freshman class emerged from their
stance of "high school graduate" into
one of "full-fledged college studento"
Christopher Robin came forth at Black
Cat, the time of his official merging with
the student body, as a unified class deter-
jminedl to keep his chosen identity from
the sophomores. The freshmen have now
managed to survive three sets of exams,
a winter quarter, and are now ready to aid
a new class to do the same.

Not only have we seen this type of emer-
gence, we have also had the students de-
mands realized. The new interpretation
of the drinking policy has placed greater
responsibility upon the individual student,
and a new maturity has emerged from it.
The sign-out policy and apartment policy
procedural changes have come from long-
time demands and careful deliberation.

Along with these tangible items has come
the intangible. There seemed to be a dif-
ferent attitude on campus arising from the
emphasis on education. The Education Com-
mittee, in spite of its lack of a name, has
provided a great service for the campus.
The pass-fail system will go into effect
in September, and along with it will come
an increased awareness of new educational
concepts. We are pleased to note that con-
tinued emphasis will be placed upon educa-
tion next year.

The changing student attitude, however,
includes off-the-campus interests as well.
The Symposium on the City and the excite-
ment it generated did much to illustrate the
emergence of Agnes Scott concerns into the
"real world." At the same time there
developed a heightened concern for the role
of Agnes Scott in that larger community.
We became increasingly conscious of the
Agnes Scott image here, in Atlanta, and yes,
even in New York.

To all who contributed to the emergence
in 1966-1967 we send a hearty note of con-
gratulations. But to those who will lead
in the coming year we deliver a serious
warning. Let's not rest on our laurels.
Let's do strive to make the 1967-1968
school year the best yet in all fields of
Agnes Scott.

Never-Never-Land

The Class of 1967 is now graduated.
They now classify asalumnaewho can come
back and wear hats to the annual banquet.

But the Peter Pan class is more than
that. It has meant much to Agnes Scott
and will long be remembered here. Who
could forget "I won't grow up" and those
green tights? What about "Slaving in the
Library?"

On the more serious side, Agnes Scott
will long remember the guidance that this
class gave her during the 1966-1967 school
year. So the PROFILE would like to say
"thank you" to each and every member of
that class which has now progressed into
Never-Never land. We'll miss you.

16, when three newly- arrived
twenty-one year old Juniors
were given a Champagne party
in a Main date parlor. Jane

Year Abroad
Calls Three
Scott Juniors

Extending their educational
experiences to foreign coun-
treis, three Agnes Scott sopho-
mores, Frankie Ansley, Pam
O'Neal, and Jo Wilson will par-
ticipate in Junior Year Abroad
programs in various European
countries.

The main destination of Fran-
kie Ansley is L'Ecole du Louv-
re in Paris where she will con-
centrate on her art major. She
will also participate in thecur-
riculae of the So rbonne and oth-
er colleges where she plans
to study theatre, history, phi-
losophy, and French. Frank-
ie 's stay in Europe includes
traveling before her return in
August, 1968.

To learn to speak and write
German fluently is the major
objective of Pam O'Neal who
will study at the University of
Marburg in Marburg, Germany.
Pam's studies abroad are under
the program sponsored by Mil-
lersville State University in
Millersville, Pennsylvania.

Jo Wilson will be limiting
her studies to the field of Bio-
logy and chemistry at the Uni-
versity of East Anglia in Nor-
wich, England. Having been
accepted to the School of Bio-
logical Sciences, Jo states, "I
have always planned to spend
my junior year abroad and the
year of concentrated science
study will be beneficial in my
plans for medical school."

PardueExplainsChangeY
InApartmentProcedurd

by

Gue

Pardue

There will be a change in the apartment procedure for next
year. The Apartment Policy Committee, in connection with the
entire Dean's Staff, has worked out thefollowingprocedure to be
tried on an experimental basis for next year. This procedure re-
mains within the present statement made by the Board of Trus-
tees. The new procedure is that Juniors and Seniors with paren-
tal permission shall be allowed to single date to men's apart-
ments. All other students will remain under the present pro-
cedure as outlined by the Dean's Staff.

This parental permission will

be a written (not wired or
phoned) statement of the spe-
cific or standing permission
that has been granted to the
student. There will be noforms
sent to the parents. This per-
mission will be kept in the of-
fice of the Dean of Students,
and each individual is expect-
ed to be aware of the permis-
sions given to her. This pro-
cedure is based on the integrity ,
and responsibility of each stu-
dent. Abuse of this policy can
result in a major penalty.

There are some reasons why
the Committee feels this was
the best type of change. The
major controversy in this new
procedure is the class differen-
tiation. The Committee feels
that after a student has been at
Agnes Scott and in Atlanta for
two years, she will have de-
veloped a good sense of per-
spective. There will be some-
times when it would be better,
even if one did have permis-
sion, not to go into an apart-
ment, and we feel that Juniors
and Seniors could discern these
situations better than under-
classmen because they have
been here longer.

Although I know that many of
the new Freshmen and rising
Sophomores are mature enough

to make this type of decision,
I feel that some parents might
give permission to their daugh-
ters who could get themselves
into embarrassing situations.
I am certainly open to a discus-
sion of the aspects of the pro-
cedure.

Next year to sign-out for an
apartment one must sign-out
specifically for that apartment
and must indicate that she has
parental permission. If there
is a change of plans during
the date, one should call back
to have her slip changed. There
is no penalty for calling back.
All of the mechanics of this
procedure will be discussed
fall quarter.

I believe that this is an ex-
periment that is going to work.
I view this new procedure in
the broader aspect of education.
Learning to differentiate var-
ious situations for ourselves is
a part of education. As part
. of the privilege of being able
to experience this education, we
must accept the responsibility
this procedure gives us. If we
can learn to accept responsi-
bility and handle it maturely,
we have acquired much of the
self-discipline that is a part
of an educated person.

UATED WITH HONOR, receives

From Bloomers To Shorts

Llewellyn Wilburn Relates
Memories Of Years At Scott

by Elizabeth Crum

Miss Llewellyn Wilburn, chairman of the Physical Education Department, retired at the end of
this school year after forty-one consecutive years of teaching here. In an expression of apprecia-
tion and recognition of her service^May 24 was proclaimed Miss Wilburn Day and the Athletic As-
sociation picnic was dedicated to her.
There have been many

the largest and most tattered
suits, the department, out of
self defense, had to require
each girl to buy her own gym
suit.

changes since Miss Wilburn
came here as a student. While
she was a student^the Physical
Education Department consist-
ed of one instructor and the
head of the department, resi-
dent physician Mary F. Sweet,
who initiated Black Cat. Miss
Wilburn, who was president of
Athletic Association in 1919,
said that her gym suit consist-
ed of black pleated wool
bloomers, long black stockings,
and a middy blouse. She went
on to say, "We didn't have real
hockey sticks to play with, so
we used 'shinny sticks.' I don't
know how we did it."

When Miss Wilburn joined
the faculty, it was the first
time that the Physical Educa-
tion Department had had more
than one instructor. Of course,
there have been many changes
in the department since then.
Some have come fast, others
slowly. Miss Wilburn said for
a long time the administration
objected to the dance group's
dancing barefooted. Until they
relented, the dancers had to dye
white stockings flesh colored.

She also explained the origin
of our present day gym suits.
It seems that the department
used to furnish one piece rose
colored gym suits. However,
since the girls would wear only

"The department," said
Miss Wilburn, "has always
been interested in social acti-
vities, too. We used to sponsor
a dance group called the Cotil-
lon Club that was open to stu-
dents by try-outs. The club
which developed into Social
Council sponsored dances and
other social activities."

Miss Wilburn has not limited
her services just to Agnes
Scott. She has served in many
capacities, including: president
of the Southern Association Di-
rectors of Physical Education
for College Women, chairman
of Physical Education Section
of the Georgia University Cen-
ter, member of the National
Basketball Committee, and as
a member of the President's
council on Physical Fitness.

For all these services and
for her work here at Scott,
Miss Wilburn. has recc ived
much recognition. At the Ruby
Anniversary Banquet of the Na-
tional Associ?tion for Physical
Education of College Women,
she was one of the honorees.

She was presented with an ho-
norary membership by the
Southern Association for Phy-
sical Education of College Wo-
men, and here in Georgia, she
has received the Georgia State
Honor Award and a special cita-
tion from the Georgia Center
for Continuing Education.

Even with all of this, she said
that one of the nicest things she
has received was the color tele-
vision set that the student body
and faculty gave her on her day
at Agnes Scott.

Dr. Hayes Talks While
Students UseHisOffice

by Sandra Earley

We could not talk in his office there were sophomores in it
studying for exams and he would not disturb them so I had my
first, and probably only, talk with George P. Hayes in a small
room under the Presser stage.

Dr. Hayes has taught English
at Agnes Scott for 39 years,
and he retires this year. He
says unqualifiedly that he en-
joys teaching sophomores most
of all because they can be im-
pressed, they work harder, and
they will "stick their necks
out" in class.

And so the sophomores satin
his famous basement office in
the rocking chairs, madly bon-
ing up on T. S. Eliot in the
books of criticism. We sat in
our little room and talked about
Dr. Hayes and Agnes Scott.
From 1921-1925, beforecoming
to Agnes Scott, Dr. Hayes taught
in a men's college in Istanbul,
Turkey. He says he did this
when he thought of being a mis-
sionary. Since then he has
taught in the summers at Emory
University, the University of
Florida, Georgia Tech, and
Hunter College.

There were 450 girls at Ag-
nes Scott when Dr. Hayes came
here. When asked about the
changes he has seen while he
has been here, he said that he
found it hard to evaluate the
past with the present. But he
went on to say that girls are
more sophisticated and inde-
pendent now and that life off the
campus is far more important.

He said, for example, debat-
ing used to be very important
on the campus but now it is
not so. And, also, Blackfriars
would not dare plan a play for
Saturday night now. He said
the college is less homogenous
and intimate than it used to be.

"I don't think we hear so
much about Agnes Scott's being
so deadly hard anymore," he
commented, but went on to say,
"I suppose they (the students)
are better prepared." When
asked how students are better

GEORGE P. HAYES
Retires This Year

prepared, he replied the main
areas of advance are in writing
ability. Their grammar is bet-
ter, this is taken for granted
now, and they are able to do
more sophisticated analytical
study of literature.

Dr. Hayes has taught for so
many years; what is he going
to do with his free time now?
"Rest," was his first answer.
He says that he used to finish
up a course in the spring and
begin immediately preparing
for a new one the next fall,
but he is not able to do so now.

He will address the Atlanta
Alumnae in November and his
biggest project for the fall will
be lecturing to women's reading
groups in Atlanta which read
literary masterpieces and need
someone- to help them inter-
pret them.

Will he ever come back to
lecture here at A.S.C.? He
answered that he might if he
were asked.
