'66- 67, THE ROFILE VOLUME LlII, NUMBER I Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 SE^'l ^MBER 22, 1966 Scott Begins 78th Year With Record Enrollment FROSH GET INTO THE SPIRIT OF THINGS WITH A SONG at the AA open house in Rebekah Rec Room following the tour of Atlanta Sunday. Agnes Scott's 78th session officially opened yesterday with 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, schedule, and physical facili- ties. Sixteen new faculty ap- pointments have been made; four appointments to the admin- istrative staff become effective. Faculty promotions now ef- fective are Mary Boney to pro- fessor of Bible, Margaret Pep- perdene to professor of English; Edward McNair to associate professor of English. Julia Gary, associate pro- fessor of chenr.stry and assis- tant dean of the faculty, and Eleanor Hutchens, associate professor of English, are on leave for this session. Also away is Nancy Groseclose, as- sociate professor of biology, who is teaching at Miranda House, Delhi, in connection with the U.S.- India Women's Col- lege Exchange Program. Dining hall operation has been 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. taken over by the Saga Food Service, Inc. a national agency serving only educational insti- tutions, over 175 colleges and universities in three-fourths of the states. (see related story, page 6). Saturday chapel, traditionally a student-led worship service, has been abolished by adminis- trative action. Ten minutes will be allowed between classes, with classes ending at 12:20, instead of 12:30. McCain 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 for experimental psychology 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. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT LYNNE WILKINS discusses finan- cial emergence through Rep Council's expanded budget at retreat. Freshmen Come From 24 States Of Agnes Scott's record high enrollment this year of 754 students, 237 are new students. This number includes 224 freshmen, from 24 states in- cluding California and Hawaii on one side of the nation and Vermont on the other. Six others come from outside the country, one each from England and the Panama Canal Zone and two each from Ger- many and France. Atlanta has contributed six students, six of whom come from Druid Hills High School. Other cities boasting a higher number of frosh are Decatur, eight; Richmond and Jackson- ville, six each; andTampa, five. Academic statistics on the new class reveal that 19 per cent of the class was admitted on the Early Decision Plan. There are eight National Merit Scholars in the group, including two of the 121 Presidential Scholars in the nation. According to Georgia Gillis of the Admissions Office, some of the freshmen have indicated interest in a variety of fields. These include fashion design- ing, space science, missionary work, and the State Department. Besides the freshmen trans- fers and three special students are new to Scott this year. The transfers come from American College in Paris, Austin Peay State College, Chatam, Florida State University, Georgia State College, Mercer, Vanderbilt, and Webster. The special students come from Denmark, El Salvador, and Peru.

Branden Lectures On Rand Nathaniel Branden will lec- ture on "Objectivism: The Philosophy of Ayn Rand" at 2:00 p.m., Sunday, Sept. 25, at the Tech Motel, 120 North Ave- nue, N.W., in Atlanta. This is the first in a series of twenty tape-transcribed lectures on Objectivism to be given weekly in Atlanta. (Admission: $2,25, students: $1.75.) Mr. Branden's lecture will deal with such issues as: What is philosophy - the bankruptcy of today's culture - the nature of Objectivism. Nathaniel Branden is the founder and president of Na- thaniel Branden Institute, an organization which offers lec- tures on Objectivism, the phil- osophy of Ayn Rand, in more than eighty cities in the United States, Canada, and abroad. He is the author of Who Is Ayn Rand ?, a study of the works ot Ayn Rand from the standpoint of ethics, psychology and esthe- tics, and is co-editor, with Miss Rand, of T| ^ Obj ectivist , a monthly journal of ideas. In addition, Mr. Branden contri- buted seve ral articles to T[ie Virtue of SeH^UK'Ss, a collec- tion of essays by Ayn Rand, pub- lished by New American Li- bra ry.

Family In McK 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- the Admissions Com- SOON-TO-BE- FINISHED FOUNTAIN IN MEMORY OF MISS McKinney will fill the blank space between the steps in front of the Infirmary. 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 Ellen Wood, Judicial Chairman Betty Butler, President of Christian Association Linda Cooper, President of Athletic Association Candy Gerwe, President of Social Council NOTICE The PROFILE has several staff openings and is consider- ing applicants without regard to race, religion, or national ori- gin. 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".

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, D ancing 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. PROFILE Meeting Tonight 6:30 Pub 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 Editor Wins National U.S. Press Office Ann Roberts, PROFILE edi- tor, has been elected chairman of the Southern region of the United States Student Press As- sociation. She also serves as first al- ternate to the association's Na- tional Executive Board. The association's governing body, this board is composed of six representatives from each of its four regions, three delegates and three alternates who can vote in the absence of a delegate. Ann was elected at the asso- ciation's annual congress, held in August at the University of Illinois. by Susan Aikman 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. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Samuel Teaches Biology On Indian Exchange Campbell Hall has acquired a different look this year with the addition of Miss Mercy Samuel, the new visiting professor from Women's Christian College in Madras, 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. 1 1 1 L E G 1 T 1 E A R O 1 S A Copyright 1966 Peter S Fischer NoAQ2 Solve the puzzle by filling in the clues, 1-16 down.

PAGE 4 SEPTEMBER 22, 1966 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.

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.

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. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor are welcome.

PAGE 5 SEPTEMBER 22, 1966 ; 1 THE PROpILfc,' 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.

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. Bill Rodgers tatoes at Agnes Scott I And a choice in what o eat on Sunday night. Agnes Scott may have to 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. Rodgers hopes to make eating an enjoyable adventure for stu- dents here. He has three re- quests for Agnes Scott students.

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 name is Judith Mann. My home is Canada.

IQ% Discount on Birthday Cakes for Agnes Scott Girls 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.

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. Honors 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- ton Rouge, a fellow of the Li- brary of Congress and is now cultural attache at the American Embassy in London. Mr. Brooks is probably most well known for his books. Among Day Wednesday, Brooks Speaks Alumnae Can Study Art, Novel, Astronomy R ussian 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. them are MadexjiRaeLcyaadilie Tradition.

NOTICE Would you believe a mistake of about a thousand? There were seventeen hundred napkins found in dormroomslast spring. 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.

They do not necessari- ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body. PAGE 2 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. iminri Boney Asks 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. Mary L. Boney Faculty Chairman, Lecture Committee 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.

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? THE A. A. BOARD 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.. 1 Feati.'re Editor. Editorial Editors . . , Campus News Editor.

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." CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 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.

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 GRAND OPENING MAC KAY f I i i i i J FOR CONGRESS J HEADQUARTERS / f 380 W.

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- qualified French professors seeking a sabbatical. Many serious (and some who are not so serious) American students prefer to enroll inde- pendently in some of the many programs offered in French Universities designed to teach French to foreigners. Some ap- preciate the freedom-respon- sibility method of education. Whatever the means an educa- tional experience abroad is es- sentially the same. It is de- manding, a bit frightening, and for the world citizens, impos- sible to forego.

Math major Betsy is one of 40 volunteers trained this sum- mer in Texas to supplement 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.

VOLUME LIII, NUMBER 3 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 OCTOBER 6, 1966 Sophomores Win Trophy Honor Roll Numbers 42 Class Scholarship Trophy was established by the Mortar Board Chapter of 1956-57. The trophy is awarded to the class which for the past session has earned an academic average which is highest in relation to the three preceding classes of that level. The trophy is award- ed this year to the class of 1969 on the basis of their acade- mic records as freshmen. The three students who rank first academically in the rising sophomore, junior, and senior classes are designated Stukes Scholars, in recognition of Dean Emeritus Samuel Guerry Stukes' service to the college. This year the Stukes Scholars are Tina Brownley, class of 1969, Robin Woltz, class of 1968, and Grace Winn, class of 1967. The Jennie Sentelle Houghton scholarship, established by Dr. M. E. Sentelle of Davidson, North Carolina, is given yearly on the basis of future promise as indicated by character, pe- sonality, and scholarship. It is given this year to Ellen Wood. Virginia Pinkston has been awarded the Rich prize, given annually for distinctive work in the freshman class. Presser Scholarships in mu- sic have gone to Lois Ann Fitz- patrick and Eliza Stockman. The Kathleen Hagood Gam- brell Scholarship, awarded to a student who will devote her life to some phase of the Christian ministry was given to Tish Lowe. 1967 Jane Watt Balsley, Margaret Calhoun, Patti Dorrier, Anne Seniors Start Dry Cleaning Service Monday the senior class laun- ched their annual dry cleaning project with a "pick up" in the dorms. In the future each Monday and Thursday nights between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. a senior will in- vade each hall with the loud call, "Dry Cleaning!" Seniors will pick up clothes that stu- dents wish to send to Decatur (Cleaners: and Hatters. Clothes sent on Monday will be returned the following, Thursday and those sent on Thursday will be returned on Monday. Students can pick up their clothes between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. Mondays and Thurs- days in the dry cleaning room in Main basement. The senior class urges the entire student body to take ad- vantage of this convenient ser- vice and at the same time to helping in a worthwhile project. At no additional cost to the individual student the senior class receives a percentage of- each payment made to the clea- ners.

Folksong Professor Lectures Thursday "Ballads, Folksongs and Folk- lore" will be the topic of a lecture by Dr. Arthur Kyle Davis, Jr. who will be on cam- pus Thursday, October 13. Dr. Davis, a professor at the University of Virginia, will speak at 12:10 in Maclean Audi- torium. The entire campus community is invited to attend. Dr. Davis has published sev- eral books, among which are "Traditional Ballads of Vir- ginia" and "Folksongs of Virginia." He holds a Ph.D . from U.

Miss Cilley, assistant pro- fessor of Spanish emeritus and currently receptionist in Dana, "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. | NOTABLES [ Atlanta Southeastern Fair.

PAGE 2 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. Feature Editor. Editorial Editors . . .

Many thanks to this week's contributors, whose names we hffve misplaced. 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. by Ann Roberts You don't have to be a magician to write for the PROFILE Mordr/.., \10 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor are welcome.

Although it's a bit early in the quarter for the true strokes of genius (creativity being di- rectly proportionate to frustra- tion), a few signs worth shar- ing are illuminating the living areas of the campus.

PAGE 3 OCTOBER 6, 1966 THE PROFILE Letters To The Editor 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, Martha Yancey Norwood Marks Answers Todd Letter TO THE EDITOR: 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- portant to determine whether the right things were done for the wrong reason. That this may, in fact, have been the case is indicated in a recent Lener to the Editor, which chastened students for not at- 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. Trying to prepare us for Brooks and to enable us to ask in- 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. Linda Marks Foreman 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 Volkoff 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.

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.

(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- Over heard Betty Butler: If you have one, it's all right.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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, the President of the University, the Dean of Arts and Sciences," the Dean of Admissions by Helen Roach 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.

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.

Y. 10010. 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." m 1 EXPERIMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY STUDENTS WILL BE WORKING in this nearly- equipped lab this year.

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. Swingline PozZFMENls [1] Divide 30 by i/ 2 and add 10. What is the answer?

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.

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 commanding performances as that of Michael Brown, who played agent 0070 with singular 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.

Certainly no one could cen- sure or censor Minnie Bob (I- want-to-be-alone) Mothes for her inimitable role as a senior who has lost her way.The hearl- ded but brief appearance of The People's Choice was quite a gratifying highlight to those who as of then had made no political decisions. The plot itself was quite sim- ple, and perhaps more suitable for application to the freshman ethos than previous ones have been. There were fewer eso- teric routines, and "in" jokes, 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. | NOTABLES [ Tel v \ is ion "The Rat Race." Thursday.

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. - FRESHMAN BLACK CAT CHAIRMAN ANN KRAMER, standing leads class cheer at first hockey game of the season. 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.

The opening minutes of the Soph-Frosh game found Rag- gedy Ann, and not Christopher Robin, saying her prayers. The reason was a swift, stinging goal made by the freshmen. A battling Lou Frank soon tied the score however. Lyn Hyde chalked up an other Raggedy Ann goal in the first half. In the closing minutes of the second .half, Julie Link added one more, and the sophs had their first win ever.

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- rhc CAROL YOUNG IS CAUGHT IN a pensive stone house typical of Aberdeen buildings. 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).

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. ARE TO YOU DATELESS TO NIGHT?

THE ROFILE VOLUME LIU, NUMBER 6 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 OCTOBER 27, 1966 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. CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 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. CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 by Robert Gross 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 OCTOBER 20, 1966 I PAGE 2 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, Alston CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Agnes Scott, represented by Dr. Alston, holds membership in a number of cooperative as- sociations of higher education. Among them are the Southern University Conference, pre- viously mentioned; the Associa- tion of American Colleges, from which Dr. Alston is one of two representatives to the National Committee on Accreditation; and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, which comprises the regional accred- iting system to which Agnes Scott is subjeri. Dr. Alston said the recent meeting of the American Coun- cil on Education was stimulat- ing, and the association seemed very capable. He said he was most impressed by what an in- clusive ,M"oup it is andthelarge number of various institutions represented. PAGE 3 OCTOBER 27, 1966 THE PROFILE Juniors, Seniors 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. 1 PLAYER OF THE WEE/. SHEILA THERRIL leads senior hockey team off the field. 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."

College Ave. Phone 373-9267 complete Car Service Just Across The Street THE PROFILE OCTOBER 27, 1966 PAGE 4 PROFILE news front 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." DemosActive Alcholism Is SymptomOf Psychological Problems 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 PROFILE Sponsors Straw Poll Agnes Scor.t students, plus all faculty and staff, will have a chance to exprss an opin- ion in the Georgia guberna- torial race. Thursday, October 3, four days before the general elec- tion, the PROFILE will con- duct a straw poll on campus. The entire canpus com- munity, not simply registered Georgia voters, are asked to vote. Ballots will be secret, but \oters will be asked to give their status, in orJer that re- suilts may be tabulated in terms of the trends within va- rious groups, such as fresh- men, faculty, etc. Ballots will be set up in the official manner, listing the names of Lester Maddox and Howard "Ho" Callaway each in his respective party column. Write-ins will be allowed. 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." Michigan Students 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.

Miriam Drucker and Helen 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 of Something," byErnestHem- ingway. Open tryouts for the by Sandra Early cast of these readings will also be held and acting with the cast will be Larry Griffith of At- lanta. 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.

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. ELIZABETH COOPER Morgan Defines 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. Jane Morgan 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- Write-In CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 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. The write - in people are hopeful aid Kathey Stubbs says, "We need people now to stand up for their convictions and to stop being apathetic. This election will affect all students at Agnes Scott and not just the ones from Georgia." There will be a statewide educational rally in Macon Saturday about the write-in. Anyone wishing to join the motorcade should contact Ka- they Stubbs or Gay Johnson. This is also true for stu- dents, faculty, or staff who would like to ha id out litera- ture in the shopping centers on November 5. teers. Berkeley, by the way, is by far the 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 ." by Ann Roberts 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. BAILEY Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Phone DR-3-0172 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. *** (Schwartz, a regular contribu- tor to EFS for the past several years, is now an officer of the U.S. National Student Associa- tion. ) Overlieard Debbie Guptil: I would have got- ten a good night's sleep last night if it hadn't been for Dr. Cousar.

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.

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.

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. Saturday afternoon, seniors and their parents and friends ANN GLENDINNING, LINDA COOPER, and Susan Stevens cele- brate Halloween at the senior party for UNICEF. 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. "" ' ^ """ The Raid Tha{ Failed i wim*.,,,..,,.,^ Police Brutality Causes | Pantie Raid To Miscarry I 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 member. A judicial member from each of the four classes is included, in addition to one representative from each of the other boards, including Mor- tar Board. The President of the Student Body, the Chairman of Judicial, and representa- tives from each class are in- cluded. Rather than have judicial at- tempt honor emphasis alone, an attempt has been made for all boards to work together. The committee will remain active until after its last function, when it will evaluate this year's Honor Emphasis. Its intent, ac- cording to Kathy is "To be receptive to what students want out of Honor Emphasis." will be welcomed in Winslup lobby for a reception with the faculty and staff. President Wallace Alston and Mrs. Alston will entertain the seniors and their guests at a seated breakfast in the upper dinning hall Sunday at 9 a.m. Frank II. Caldwell will de- liver the Investiture sermon at the communiD' church service Sunday in Gaines. Mr. Caldwell holds Ph.D., D.D., LUD., and Litt.D. de- grees. He serves currently as Moderator of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. He is also executive director of the Presbyterian Founda- tion, Inc. In the past he has been assembly delegate to the World Presbyterian Alliance, delegate to the Third Assembly of the World Council of Churches, president of the Presbyterian Education Asso- ciation of the South, and pre- sident of Loiusville Presbyter- ian Seminary. He is the author of Preach- ing Angles, They Seek a Coun- try, and The Church Faces the Isms. Notice PRUr-LE polls will be open today from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the open space between But- trick and Presser (in the Mail- room in case of rain). It takes only a minute to vote. Everyone is urged to do so to- day. 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 Walters Dorm the Raid was on I 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 with the policeman running be- hind him firing the gun, he was 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 as large as the one that was supposed to have arrived. Mo- torcycles sped through the cam- pus (the wrong way up the one (CONTINUED ON PAGE 3) Patterson Compares Society's Right, Left BEROLLERD WALTERS' RESIDENTS COWER (but eagerly) as they await the promised raid. "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 (CONTINUED ON PAGE 4) THE PROFILE m NOVEMBER 3, 1966 * PAGE 2 THE PR OFILE J^t J always darheit juit before it yets fiilc ULcL ....

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. Letters To The Gaines Protests 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W. College Ave. Phone 373-9267 complete Car Service Just Across The Street Taking your M.R.S.?

PAGE 4 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. SAT., NOV. 19th 2 SHOWS City Auditorium 2:30 & 8:30 P.M. LIVE! ON STAGE!

THE ROFMLE VOLUME Lill, NUMBER 9 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 NOVEMBER 17, 1966 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, Lecture On Vietnam General Maxwell D.

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 (48') Past National Alumnae Chair- man Mrs. Harriette Potts Edge ('54) Georgia Alumnae Chairman Both supporters and non-sup- porters of Callaway have react- ed. Several Maddox suporters called the Alumnae Office to learn more about the letter. There has been some ques- tion as to whether the Alumnae Office even knew about it. Ann Worthy Johnson, Director of Alumnae Affairs was not avail- able for comment to the PRO- FILE on the situation.

Gen. Taylor originally agreed to stay in Vietnam for only one year and asked to be relieved after this period. In replacing him by Henry Cabot Lodge in July 1965, Pres- ident Johnson wrote Taylor, 'There is no prouder page in your record than the one which you have written in the last year." Since Gen. Taylor has been close to the Vietnam situation, his opinions on the war have been given prominent attention. This was especially true last February during the five-day hearing on Vietnam by the Sen- ate Foreign Relations Commit- tee. Continued on page 6 AMONG THOSE CHOSEN FOR WHO'S WHO ARE (1. to r.)

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 Who's Who CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 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 Hall, Mr. Morgan will assemble and put into operation a laser and demonstrate the appearance and some of the special proper- ties of coherent light. He will also discuss the principles of holography or lenseless, three- dimensional photography and display typical holograms for view by those attending. "A laser is a device for the amplification of light. The word itself is an acronym for the Morgan 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 moved so fast and with quite so much basic promise."

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."

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. NANCY McCLEAN WAS CHOSEN Tech Homecoming queen last weekend. Sponsored by the Tech photography club, she was the first queen since 1955 not spon- sored by a fraternity. 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. WHO'S WHO HONOREES (1. to r.) Linda Cooper, Judy Nuckols, Ann Roberts, and Candy Gerwe. Participants Approve 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- VICKI HUTCHENSON DISPLAYS 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?" Griffin 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. THE PROFILE NOVEMBER 17, 1966 PAGE 4 THE PROFILE Wo.., Wo,., J m Suit tloi ~Sa 1 16 fie J 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. 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 special Report 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.

AM AlTERNA- to T/VE/ 4 0** 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" and "constructive," but Henry and I still believe that her spe- cific comments on the article in question are not true. The Editor Cooper 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. Elizabeth Cooper Southern 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, C. Murphy Archibald, Jr. Box 12 Birmingham-Southern College Birmingham, Alabama 35204 Hog an Dismisses 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. Tom Hogan 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 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor are welcome. These should be typed,double spaced, SIGNED, and sent to Editor, Box 719. They should not exceed two typed pages. 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. 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 THE PROFILE - NOVEMBER 17, 1966 PAGE 6 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 Int Decatur Cleaners & Hatters Campus pick up and delivery through Senior dry cleaning representatives 2 locations :orner Church & Sycamore 145 Sycamore Street erviews Set For Holidays Juniors and seniors will have an opportunity for career inter- views with over 100 Georgia employers during the Christ- mas holidays.

Instructors 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. Physical Taylor 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- thusiasm, A.A. has not organiz- ed any further planned contests. At the same time, any dorm or cottage which would like help in arranging events is urged to contact Winkie Wooten. A.A. will provide the materials need- ed for the competition. Taking your M.R.S.?

THE PROFILE NOVEMBER 17, 1966 PAGE 8 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. "Coco-Cola" and "Coki" arc rtgifUnd trodt-morkt which identify only tht product of Tht Coca-Cola Company Are you sure today is homecoming?

THE ROFILE VOLUME LIII, NUMBER 10 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 JANUARY 12, 1967 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." Club Hosts Debate Tournament Pi Alpha Phi ciety of Agnes Debating So- Scott College announces the twentieth annual All - Southern Intercollegiate Debate Tournament to be held at Agnes Scott January 13-14. To participate in the five- round tourney will be teams from eight southern colleges. Each team, made up of four undergraduate debaters, two af- firmative and two negative, is requested to bring a debating coach who will serve as judge throughout the tournament. CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 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- science Foundation of New York City. Of his books, Susan Smith HAROLD A. BOLSEY speaking for Religious Emphasis Week. 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- tion Room at 5 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 19. Dr. Bosley 's topic will be "Should Faith Change?" Smith Retires, Turner Dorm Supervisor Mrs. Annie Mae Smith, Su- pervisor of Dormitories at Ag- nes Scott for twenty-nine years, retired December 31, 1966. Mrs. Dorothy Turner, assist- ed by Mrs. Lottie O'Kelley, is now acting as Supervisor of Dormitories. Mrs. Turner has been at Agnes Scott since 1958. this growing committment. There is doubt that a war which may devestate the coun- tryside can lead to the stable and prosperous Viet Nam we once hoped to create. Apparent Contradictions T^ere is considerable con- cern about apparent contradic- tions in the American position on efforts to negotiate a set- tlement. High Government of- ficials reiterate our eagerness to negotiate "unconditionally," but we remain unclear about our willingness to accept full par- ticipation by the Viet Cong as an independent party to negotia- tions." Asked why she signed the let- ter, Lynne said, "I am not anti-war, but I am concerned about what's happening and where we're going. The letter CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 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.

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, Ramona 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.

PAGE 3 JANUARY 12, 1967 THE PROFILE 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. To get a good job, get a good education .t& i T)ii Yrivcrtixim; Council. and signouts are also coming up for review. At the suggestion of Dean Carrie Scandrett after some confusion concerning dorm book signouts, a com- mittee has been formed to study modification of these rules. The committee is headed by Gue Pardue, chairman of the Rep- resentative Council rules com- mittee. Other members are Ann Glendenning, Dee Hamp- ton, Bronna Willis, and Sylvia Chapman. Two meetings of the commit- tee were held between Thanks - giving and Christmas. Yester- day the committee met a third time and members presented plans they had formulated for a change/ in signout and curfew rules* Representative Council was also asked for its sugges- tions. Gue Pardue stressed that any suggestions from the student body at large are very welcome and she said, "I do think there is a real possibility for change/' the child born less than perfect... .shadows many lives One family in ten knows the trag- edy of having a defective child.

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- cal Seminary, W'ooster, and Yale. 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, Debate CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 None of the Agnes Scott teams will participate. Cups will be awarded to the best individual speaker and to the best over- all college and certificates will be similarly awarded. The topic for the debates is Resolved: That the United States should substantially reduce its foreign policy commitments. Tournament manager, Candy Walden, says all five rounds of the tournament are open to the public. The schedule is as fol- lows: Friday, January 13, 2:00- 3:00 p.m., first round of debat- ing; 4:00-5:00, second round; 7:30-8:30, third round; Satur- day, January 14, 8:30-9:30 a.m., fourth round of debating; 10:00- 11:00, fifth round.

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.

The fourth group was formed by Jim and Annette Breiling, who met with Skinner in the fall of 1965 and arranged to com- pile a list of all the people who had written him about Walden Two. The list has continued to grow and now includes more than 170 names and addresses representing 254 adults and 95 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 and functioning, prepared a time schedule for community de- velopment, established perma- nent committees in all areas essential to community de- velopment, and made the first steps toward establishing a formal organization to coordi- nate pre-community activities.

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.

Student opinion channeled through this committee has changed textbooks and required outside reading in the paste Recent questionnaires indi- cate that students would like to lessen the math and science requirements and abolish the Bible requirement. Ohters feel that there should be a fine arts requirement or that History 101 should be required. The student curriculum com- mittee is the channel for stu- dents' opinions of courses. Lin- da Marks urges that students fill out the questionnaires (ex- tra ones have been placed in the mailroom) and return them to the box in the mailroom.

All chapels next week will center around the topic of disease and preventive medicine. According to publicity chairman Betty Butler, the committee considers this an area which should be of vital concern to everyone but about which students have little opportunity to learn.

Festival Deadline Feb. 10 This year the Southern Li- terary Festival is to be held April 20-22 at South-Western at Memphis, Memphis, Ten- nessee. Entries to the Festival may be submitted in the follow- ing categories: poetry; short story; formal essay; one-act play. Contributions from Agnes Scott students should be sub- mitted by February 10 for pre- liminary appraisal by a com- mittee composed of faculty members and students. They may be placed in a box which will be in Margret Trotter's office in Buttrick Hall (310). Only unpublished material is eligible, and length should not exceed 5000 words. The fol- lowing prizes will be awarded to the winners in each cate- gory at the April meeting of the Association: first prize, $25; second prize, $15; third prize, $10. According to Miss Trotter Agnes Scott students have always placed in the Fes- tival. "We want to focus on one topic with chapels that are in- formative, interesting, and re- levant,"' says Betty. Tuesday, Dr. William Wa- ters III of the Emory Univer- sity School of Medicine and the Emory University Clinic will speak on renal disease. Convocation Wednesday will feature Dr. S. Angier Wills, of the Emory department of sur- gery and president of the De- Kalb Unit of the American Can- cer Society, will speak about cancer detection. Scott's consulting psychia- trist, Dr. Irene A. Phrydas, will talk Thursday on an aspect of mental health relevant to col- lege students. Dr. E. Converse Peirce II will show slides and speak about organ transplantation at Fri- 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 similar week of related pro- grams will take place at the end of the quarter. The topic will be the city, specifically Atlanta, in preparation for the 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." CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 spring quarter symposium on the American city. 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 College in Baltimore, Mary- land; Obelin College, in Ober- lin, Ohio; Carleton College, in Northfield, Minnesota; Antioch College, in Yellow Springs, Ohio; and Trinity College, in Washington, D.C. Also, Talla- dega Collega in Talladega, Ala- bama; Radcliffe College, in Cambridge, Massachu- setts; Fisk University, in Nash- ville, Tennessee; Colby Junior College, in New London, New Hamphire; and Randolph-Ma- con College, in Lynchburg, Vir- ginia. 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. Oak Ridge Physicist Here At Last Dr. Henry Morgan of the Oak Ridge National Laboratories, who was unable to come to Ag- nes Scott last quarter, will lec- ture here Tuesday, January 24.

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) Lyon, France 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. John L. Adams 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. PAGE 3 JANUARY 19, 1967 THE PROFILE 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. Over a hundred people, from 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.

(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- WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.

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. Overlieard Susan Dalton: I'd like for you to meet my finance, Winthrop Blare-Allen McCormick III.

Wilson 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.

JUST 75C-ASK ABOUT THE SPECIAL HALF-PRICE STUDENT SUBSCRIPTION RATE AVAILABLE THROUGH COLLEGE BOOKSTORES THE PROFILE JANUARY 19, 1967 PAGE 4 I 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.

Source Unfound Last Friday the infirmary treated approximately 120 stu- dents for severe stomach cramps and nausea, and esti- mates that at least 30 more were stricken. The DeKalb County Health Department is investigating the source of the "plague" which students have called food poi- soning. The official report should be completed in one or two weeks. Both the infirmary and the dining hall have refused to com- ment, although they have re- ceived unofficial reports. "Coca-Cola" and "C ressure CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 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 just a steady stream of daily assignments and you never had a chance to really study." Proof of the mounting assign- ments is Jan Cribbs* schedule of academic committments: September 27 map October 6 map and test 7 test 18 paper 21 test 27 test and mid- term exam 28 mid-term exam 31 paper November 1 test 7 test 9 test 15 paper 22 test and paper 29 test 30 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." ore registered trade-marks which identify only the product of The Coca-Cola Company.

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- CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 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- CONTINUED ON PAGE 2 A member of the Board of Trustees of Dropsie College, Katsh is also founder of the National Association of Profes- sors of Hebrew in American Universities.

Students Oppose Maddox's Policies Georgia's new governor Lester Maddox has already met with active opposition from college students in the state. A delegation of Emory and Georgia State Students, representing the Atlanta chapter of the Southern Student Organizing Committee (SSOC) has presented the governor's executive secretary an open letter protesting his budgeting of money for secondary and higher Abraham Katsh, to speak on Maimonides.

Thompson Proposes Tax Credits Georgia Fifth District Con- gressman Fletcher Thompson has introduced his first bill as a member of the 90th Congress, a measure to grant up to $400 annually in federal income tax credits to college students or their parents. "Rapidly rising tuition costs and fees which colleges and uni- versities are forced to charge place a heavy burden on stu- dents of families in the middle and lower income brackets, not only in the Metropolitan At- lanta area but throughout the nation," Congressman Thomp- son told the South Fulton Cham- ber of Commerce, Monday night. "All too often this burden is CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 THE PROFILE JANUARY 26, 1967 I PAGE 2 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.

He promised to follow the progressive policies of for- mer governor Sanders and sta- ted that he saw "no necessity for any conflict to arise be- tween federal-state authority."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. j.. ......

Before swooning, relax for a brief explanation. Spit is a card game (as those who read the Athletic Association bulle- tin board know). In the true spirit of inter-dorm compe- tition, Winship recently chal- lenged Main to a match with winner taking all, including a trophy cup. An elimination round was held last Friday during the half- time at the basketball game. The following afternoon, the finals of this august combat oc- cupied the center ring of the Hub. Winship, represented by Becky Saunders, sent a mo- dest number of rooters. Main's Johnie Gay Martin upheld her dorm's honor well as partici- pant and cheering section. Spit is a game of speed and reflex action. Tension builds and may explode with each par- ticipant's interpretation of the honor system regarding vocal intonations. Proceeding under these con- ditions, the final round of the rks which identify only the product of The Coco-Colo C< Meroney CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 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.

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. INSIDE What is ASC image?

Established in 1958, this weekend has been described by Dr. Edward McNair, Director of Public Relations, as "one of Agnes Scott's most successful traditions." Parents will begin register- ing on Thursday night and Fri- day morning, February 9 and 10, Besides accompanying their daughters to classes on Fri- day, there will be a coffee for them in Walters dormitory that morning. On Friday afternoon, an ad- ministrative panel will be held to answer any questions that the parents might have about the college. Also that afternoon, the sophomore basketball team will play the freshmen'. The Dolphin Club will give two performances on Friday night, and the new psychology laboratory will be open to the parents. Parents may alsoattend clas- ses on Saturday morning. There will be a special Saturday cha- pel in which members of the "sophomore Class will present Winter Dance Weekend Begins Friday Night Social Council reminds all students not to forget the Win- ter Dance Weekend this Friday and Saturday. Friday night from 8 to 12 The Dynamics will be featured in the dining hall.. Dress is casual. Saturday af- ternoon from 2 to 3:30 folk sin- gers from both on and off cam- pus will entertain in the Hub. At 9 p.m. the formal dance, with orchestra, will be held in the Dinkier Plaza Hotel. Dress may be either formal or semi- formal, tux or dark suit. Students may have pictures made at the dance by John Mor- gan, the official photographer for the Silhouette. The cost of the pictures is $3 for two 5x7*s and four wallet size, in color. This charge is payable at the time the pictures are taken. The management of the Dink- ier Plaza asks that students remember that there must be no drinking at the dance. Accord- ing to law, the hotel may lose its license if any drinking oc- curs. In this event, Social Council would also be prevent- ed from having any more dance weekends. Students going to the dance will have late permission, 1 a.m. for Friday night and 3 a.m. for Saturday night. De- tails about signing in and out will be found in the House Coun- cil notes for each dorm. Tickets to the dance are be- ing sold in the dining hall , a dramatic reading of Flan- nery O'Connor's "A Good Man Is Hard To Find." The high point of the week- end will be luncheon on Satur- day noon for the Sophomores and their parents. Dr. Wallace Alston, president of the col- lege, and Tina Bender, presi- dent of the class, will speak. On Saturday afternoon, Dr. and Mrs. Alston will receive the sophomores and their parents on the Winship terrace; facul- ty members will also be pre- sent to meet the parents. On Saturday night, the Brad- ley Observatory will be open. Tours of the Dana Fine Arts Building are scheduled for Fri- day afternoon, but the building will be open all weekend for the parents to visit. The collection of drawings, prints, and paint- ings by Cyril, will be on ex- hibit, as well as a special dis- play of Sophomore art work. The Robert Frost collection will be open to view in the Li- brary all weekend. The Camp- bell museum will also be open. The dormitories will be open to the inspection of the fathers and othermale members of the families on Friday afternoon and Saturday morning.

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. THE PROFILE g FEBRUARY 2, 1967 g PAGE 2 i 1 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. Alston Decides Use Of Grants Wallace Alston. president, states that the Time grant of $ 10,000 received last quarter will be 1 used to enrich the wok work of our library.'" This 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. GIRLS SELECRED FOR THE VARSITY HOCKEY TEAMposefor a portrait for posterity. They are (front row, 1 to r) Lucy Rose and Susan Johnson; Sally Rayburn, Gail Livingston, Sheila Ter- rill, Anne Marquess, and Evelyn Angeletti; Windy Lundy and Linda Cooper. Not pictured for posterity are Day Morcock 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. Jack Nelson, assistant pro- 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. Arts Salute Includes W arren Work 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- dinand Warren, head of the art department at Agnes Scott, has two paintings in the invitatio- nal exhibit. WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.

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.

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 BAILEY Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Phone DR-3-0172 Decatur < Cleaners & Hatters < it) in |mi> |H< k Hi) and 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- it JANE McCURDY POSES AS THE TYPICAL date - starved Scott student which some people see. 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. PACE 5 FEBRUARY 2, 1967 m THE PROFILE Studious? Frivolous? 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 Deirdre LaPin. 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."

Manchester to cross out 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 LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Letters to the editor are welcome. These should be typed,double spaced, SIGNED, and sent to Editor, Box 722.

PAGE 7 FEBRUARY 2, 1967 THE PROFILE UBA Bakes, Delivers, With Smiles by Virginia Russell Agnes Scott students are blessed with the presence of their own personal bakery, started by necessity, of Agnes Scott students, and for Agnes Scott students. Juniors Anne Hutton, A. J c Bell, and Alice Zollicoffer hold controlling stock in the venture, which is known formally as Un- incorporated Bakers Associat- ed. U.B.A. caters for all sorts of parties: Birthdays, anniver- saries, farewell, room warm- ing, faculty, new room-mate, old room-mate, and 9:00 o.m. snacks. Besides mundane varieties offered at $3.00, the bakery sells chocolate cake with peper- mind icing with dainty chocolate drippings on top at $3.25. Some cakes come equipped with spec- ial compartments for small surprizes. These phenomena are pric d at $3.50, except in cases when buyer supplies the gift, the cake then being $3.25. Brownies are also available for snacks and parties. Free delivery service to the customer's door is given as a bonus. U.B.A. asks only that it be given approximately three days notice, and reserves the right to decline engagements during times of stress and an- xiety. Trade is rarely solicited, so perspective customers are ask- ed to contact bakery headquar- ters at extension 213, 225, 203, or 204 for service. If you think you're wonderful you don't think hard enough. Anybody who asks for advice just hasn't been listening.

Alumnae CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 for alumnae and their husbands and friends. Kwai Chang, asso- ciate professor of Bible and philosophy will instruct a course covering five non-bibli- cal religious: Hinduism, Bud- dhism, Confucianism, Taosim, and Shinto. In instructing the se- cond course, '"New Math' for Parents," Henry A. Robinson, professor mathematics, will be concerned with taking some of the confusion out of the "new math" for parents. Ann Worthy Johnson, direc- tor of alumnae affairs, outlines 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. F E I F YOU KNOW WHAT THff FW6L6M Y?? ime kips icoay me e\mnm 100 BA5Y.

IF YOV NX Me IT'S CR6/5 OF [pfjOTIT^ c>nt7$)t> THE PROFILE FEBRUARY 2, 196" PACE S Sp ^necial Book Review Seetion "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. ______ Bring Shoe Trebles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc. DR. 3-3676 141 Clairmont Ay?. by Susan Aikman 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.

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. Ill Glasses 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. College-Rater in a no-holds-barred question and answer period Friday after- 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. For a change of pace every- one will move next onward to the gym for a rousing show of class spirit as the sophomores meet the freshmen on the bas- ketball court. The fathers, es- 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 Frost collection in the library.

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." CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 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. 'La Troupe' Presents Two French Comedies "La Troup," a recently formed French acting group will present two one act come- dies next week. Under the direc- 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.

They do not necessari- ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body. 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.

Having the corner room, we also hear everyone come in during the week noisily I B.M 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.

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 PAGE 3 FEBRUARY 0, 1967 THE PROFILE 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. 1 TUESDAY Fanny L.

Suffrage Battle On - C> Va 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. anous comments on "Mai- monides as a Link Between East and West," the title of a recent lecture by Abraham Katsh: Who arc they?

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- try, for Yale and Vassar." , ,j , what would happen if Vassar were added!)

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 Sophomores (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) nor's "A Good Man Is Hard To Find" and will feature an all sophomore cast. All interes- ted persons, or merely curious, are invited to witness a bit of sophomore creativity. Afterwards the group moves on to the banquet in the dining hall for fun, food and speeches by Wallace Alston and Tina Bender. As the custom goes, sophomores and their parents will sit at tables set by fresh- men and will enjoy the, hope- fully, efficient service of "tired, old seniors". Decora- tions and the menu have been planned by the sophomores themselves. After a few hours of unplan- ned recreation, parents will have the opportunity to acquaint themselves with Dr. and Mrs. Alston and the faculty at the reception to be held in Win- ship's Terrace. it is much -easier to find time to study when there are males around only on the weekend. However, most girls felt that this type "one - sex atmos- 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.

Elian 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. George P. Hayes, professor of CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 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.

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. by Ann Roberts 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.

PAGE 3 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. (Schwartz is national affairs vice-president of the National Student Association.)

NJ6T THE PROFILE FEBRUARY 16, 1967 | PAGE 4 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.

Overheard National Beauty Week tComb your hairt 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). House To morrow Paper mache flowers, a poe- try reading and folk singing and refreshments made by mem- bers of the Agnes Scott faculty are some of the lures adver- tised by Arts Council for their second coffee house. To be held in Rebekah Re- creation Room Friday, Fe- bruary 17, from 8:00 until 10:00 p.m., the coffee house will fea- ture an art auction in which some art works by Ferdinand Warren, pottery by Robert F. Westervelt, original jewelry, as well as paper mache flo- wers and other artistic items will be on sale.

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). PAGE 5 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- TANGLE OF CORDS ON BUSY SWITCHBOARD can be confus- 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. ...More than 70 percent of Ame- rican students would prefer to have non-military service, e.g. Peace Corps, VISTA, Teachers Corps, as an equal alternative to military ser- vice. ...Over 60 percent of American students do not feel that stu- dents should be deferred just because they are students. 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." THE PROFILE FEBRUARY 16, 1967 PAGE 6 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- tion on the order card, avoid- ing duplication, pricing the Syposi um (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) and writer, will pull the discus- 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 Street," The title is taken from "Preludes" by T.S. Eliot. We hope the symposium will Tues. March 28, not end in three days. It is only an introduction, for we can only glance at the skyline of the problems and implications of the city. We hope it will be an impetus for concern, educa- tion and involvement. Through it we hope to open this vast area of interest and action for Agnes Scott. The proposed program is as follows. Further information will be released later.

Salisbury Suspended MINNEAPOLIS, Feb. 6 (CPS) Harrison Salisbury, assistant managing editor of The New York Times and the author of recent widely-publicized dis- patches from Hanoi, was sus- pended from the University of Minnesota 37 years ago. 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. ^^<<^^0 skar Werner! mmmm f Several Reasons 1 For "Farenheit 9 by Linda Marks Believe it or not, there are other reasons for seeing "Fa- renheit 451" besides getting to look at Oskar Werner in color.

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. ers for many years, was open 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." Sh rove Tuesday PAGE FEBRUARY 16, 1%7 TItfc PROFILE 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 German Desperate 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. WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.

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 Is Joanie Phonie? Baez Protests (ACP) For years there has been little doubt about car- toonist Al Capp's political learnings, says the University of Minnesota Daily. For one thing, the gentleman simply de- tests protestors. His latest caricature of them is "Joanie Phonie," a long- haired, long-nosed folksinger who, in Capp's eyes, is clear- ly a fake. Just as clearly, "Joanie'' is modeled on folk- singer Joan Baez, though Capp denies it. : The real Joan is indignant and threatens to go to court j unless she gets a retraction, She says she doesn't mind the : caricature, but only objects to : Capp's using it to ridicule the : whole protest movement.

There but for for- tune 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- aluminum framed plastic bub- ring which to enjoy the "fun, Phone DR-3-0172 ble, and Canada is building a fun, fun" of Expo 67.

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- phomores 23, freshmen 15.

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. In addition to the Times story, local papers and radio Philosophers Meet Here Satui 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- gia, Emory University, Queens College, Oglethorpe and the University of Chattanooga. Four of these schools will present papers on some piiase of the overall conference topic, "So- cial Philosophy and Ethics." 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- tend either or both of the phi- losophy conference sessions is asked to get in touch with Judy Williams. 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 CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 Jaunt Activities Continue Today 'Doolittle' Spectacular by Sharon Lagerquist The junior class hopes that you didn't spend all of your pennies last night because there are many more activities ahead in Junior Jaunt.

Plans Cabin Music "An afternoon purely for the enjoyment of listening to good music" has been planned by Alice Zollicoffer, chairman of the C.A. cabin discussions. This program is a continuation of last quarter's cabin discus- sions and will be held Sunday, February 26, from 3:30-5 p.m. in the cabin. Whis, however, will be the on- ly program held by the C.A. discussion committee this quarter. Zollie states that there will be no explanation for the music. Students may sign up for what they want to hear on a list post- ed in the. mi U room to you and have your fortune told (winter quarter grades per- haps?). Junior Jaunt festivities began Wednesday night with the annual slave sale sponsored by the se- nior class. At this traditional tradition - breaking event stu- dents bought selected teachers to serve as slaves today. Note: this has untold-of possibilities! Thursday night the juniors will present a faculty review of "The Adventures of Dr. Doo- little." A twenty-seven star spectacular, the review will be in Gaines at 7:30 p.m. and in- cludes a linoleum-eating cro- codile, a precocious parrot, a monkey bridge, a ship wreck with actual ship on stage, a pushmi-pullyu, and a "fairy" tale. All of these fascinating and unusual parts will be play- ed by various well-known fa- culty members in costume. Junior Jaunt activities for Friday begin in the afternoon with the Indian Bazaar to be held in the Rebekah Recreation 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, CONTINUED ON PAGE 3 Room.

"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/ Sade." In other words, every- 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." by Ann Roberts 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. Linda Lou Colvard Dorian 1 (ex- '6 7), Student at University of Maryland mm ra 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.

PAGE 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, pointing that "the situation of 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 $185 a year. Also under the section on fees is the comment, "The board- ers will be required to attend regularly the Presbyterian Church with the teachers unless otherwise directed by parents or guardians." NSA-CIA (CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1) including representation at in- ternational student meetings. General support was also pro- vided, according to the state- ment, "including administra- tive grants and occasional dona- tions to cover NS A bugetary de- ficits incurred by both the Na- tional and International depart- ments of the Association." In regard to physical facili- ties, the association is taking steps to terminate CIA involve- ment in the lease of its office building. The association may find it necessary to move. Roar h Helen Roach, Agnes Scott NSA coordinator says, "I don't know what will happen on the national level. When you learn that people you elected as repre- sentatives are on the CIA pay- roll it brings up the question of 'who can you trust?' And of course our reputation as a liberal organization is jeopar- dized. "I have no idea what it will mean on the international front. We've had to call back exchange students and overseas repre- sentatives. It depends on what other countries thought of us before. Communist countries have always accused us of be- ing a front for imperalism. Maybe they were right." A newspaper clipping dated August 26, 1889, Decatur, and marked "Special," carries the headling "The Arrange- ments Completed for a First- class School.'' The article says, in part, "There is no more eligible place in the state for the build- ing of a fine institution for the education of young ladies than Decatur. With a most health- ful climate, pure water, good churches, and refined society, and its convenient location to Atlanta, a good school in such a place and under such aus- pices of bound to succeed." Work offered in the Seminary was at the grammar school level.. The following year it was renamed Agnes Scott Institute and within 10 years accredited as a secondary school. In 1906, the Institute was chartered as Agnes Scott College, and Agnes Scott Academy (discontinued in 1913) was organized to offer preparatory work. The first degrees of the college were conferred in June of 1906. FEHKUAKY 23, 1907 THE PROFILE Lind, new manager of ASSISTING IN ICE CREAM STAND is Tom the dining hall. Poet Takes Over Saga A poetry writing British Hon- duran now an American citizen (of German descent) is the new manager of Saga food service at Agnes Scott. Thomas Lind says of himself as a poet "I write continuously, but not pro- J fusely." His book, "Green is the Garden" was published by Vantage Press. According to Tom it took five years to com- pile the book. While still in the Honduras, he wrote political articles for a paper. The articles were de- signed to educate people in the forms of self-government. Since coming to the United States, Tom has worked with food in many different places, such as the Universal Servi- ces; the Holy Family Hospital in south west Atlanta; Magnolia Manor, a senior citizens' home which is Methodist run; and sev- eral colleges served by Saga, the latest being Winthrop Col- lege in Rock Hill, South Caro- lina. As a part of Arts Council's last coffee house Tom read one of his poems. 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?

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.

It is a "suit- case" school where most of 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.

Sponsors First Aid 'City** Symposium Features Sanders, Green, Allen First Week Spring Quarter 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.

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. Wednesday, March 29, Theo- dore M. Greene will speak on 'Les Fcmmes LETREATEAU DE PARIS PRESENTS Moliere's Savantes' Friday night. 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 of approximately 20,000 new jobs yearly since 1962, the con- struction of Atlanta Stadium 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. and a freeway link between he Atlanta airport and downtown area. 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.

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. THE PROFILE MARCH 2, 1967 PAGE 2 THE PROFILE 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, Ramona 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. if Executive Editor Virginia Russell Feature Editor Susan Aikman Editorial Editors Elizabeth Cooper, Rosalind Todd Campus News Editor JLpuise Bruechert Copy Editor Jane D.

PAGE 3 MARCH 2, 1967 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 PRINCE BUMPO (MICHAEL J BROWN) reads 'The Magic Butterfly" policy, "It is to me a most and dreams of becoming a fairy prince in the faculty skit put on the by liberal statement and gives the instructor an opportunity to say 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 meaning and intent." Of the difference from the AAUP statement, C. Benton Kline, dean of the faculty, says, the junior class for Junior Jaunt 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. Syposium CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 his days as a leader in the World Student Christian Foun- dation. 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." Other speakers during the week will include Trawick Stubbs and Douglas Turley who will participate in the Thursday afternoon panel entitled "Su- burbia: The Pressure of Pros- perity." Hector Black, community or- ganizer in Vine City, and Joe Perrin, professor of art at Georgia State College, will speak at the other meeting of the symposium. 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."

New Concept Involves All In 'Marat/Sade' by Cathi Ford A revolution began Tuesday night, February 14, at 8:30 p.m. as the asylum bells signaling the opening of "The Persecution and Assassination of Jean-Paul Marat as Performed by the Inmates of the Asylum of Charenton Under the Direction of the Marquis de Sade." On the literal level the play-within- a-play involved in "Marat/Sade" has the French Revolution 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 BAILEY Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Phone DR-3-0172 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- CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 DRak 7-4913 DRake 3-4922 DECATUR CAKE BOX Belle Miller Florist - Baker - Caterer 112 Clairmont Avenue Decatur, Ga. 109c Discount on Birthday Cakes for Agnes Scott GirU 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 on Thursday afternoon in the WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.

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 in 100 yd. individual medley, Lou Frank: 1st in 50 yd and 100 yd. breaststroke; Mary Mac- millan: 3rd in 100 yd freestyle; Kathy Vansant: 3rd in 50 yd. freestyle; Janice Autrey: 1st in 50 yd. and 100yd. backstroke Ginger Reeves, Phillips, Frank, Vansant: 2nd in medley relay Reeves, Macmillan, Vansant, Autrey: 1st in freestyle relay.

Present Status Freshman Sophomore Junior Senior Graduate THE PROFILE MARCH 2, 1967 PAGE 6 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.

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. Decatur Cleaners & Hath TS ampus pick un and delivers through senior clrj clean mi; rep r*sen lath 2 locations corner Church & Sycamore 145 Sycamore Street 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. New Colors Chocolate, White 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 MILITARY DETAIL MAKES THIS ORANCE AND PINK pant- suit worn by Martha McKay distinctive. 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. THESE GREAT ONES FROM GOLO A.

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. Besides African animals, splashy prints of vivid colors make delightful party clothes.

The totalitv es- tablished by employing so many contradictory aspects l e aves oneconfused and desirous of be- ing able to see the play again in order to comprehend it. In any other art from, a de- sire to return to the work for deeper understanding would be a tribute to that work. But a part of the beauty of the art of the theatre is in its transience. "Marat/Sade" has proposed by- means of its technique the ques- tion of how intricate a play may be without destroying the value of a transcient quality in thea- tre. semble. Big polka dots, too, create fun fashions. The color and design is yours for the choosing; just think whimsy and fun. Evening swings and so must clothes. The flowing tent dres- ses, patio dresses, and loose- fitting tops over slacks softly swing as a mid-summer dream. Dangling earrings swing for pretty party wear or geome- tric shapes and loops of plas- tic or enameled metal for fun and games. Everything for fun looks fun and is in wearing. The two looks-one for day, one for late-day and night- put every female in a favora- ble position. She feels both are essential and both essentially make her fashionable. She has the more reserved clothes for city and work; the whimsical clothes for fun. Now clothes can create a mood apropos to the occasion. Men Compete For Color COVERED WITH DAISIES IS RUTH BECK. The daisy shift with navy background is worn over shorts. Navy shorts also have daisy decoration. Next PROFILE first Friday spring quarter 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.

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.

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.

Three-Fourths Trustees Must Be Presbyterians 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. The fourth and "perhaps CONTINUED ON PAGE 11 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.

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. by Ann Roberts 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. PAGE 3-., MAY. 31, 1.967 j THE PROFILE 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." This story was researched by Martha Allison, Marcia Caribaltes, Marilyn Marrell, Kay Parkerson, Norma Sha- heen, and Anne Washington.

Washington Friends Seminar Program is sponsoring a stu- dent seminar on Congress and American Foreign Policy in Washington, D.C, from July 2 to August 18. About sixteen students will be selected to do research in the area of foreign policy that in- terests them most. The students will have individual interviews with several Congressman, members of the Washington press corps, Administration of- ficials and embassy personal. A $270 tuition also includes room at the Great Lakes Student house and meals at thelnterna- tional Student House. Interested students can write to Marion Krebser, the director of the seminar program, at 245 2nd Street N.E., Washington, D.C, 20002. STUDENTS EXAMINE THE WORK OF Sister Mary Corita, on display in connection with the symposium on the American city. THE PROFILE MAY 31, 1967 PAGE 4 Zollicoffer Seeks Highest S G Offic e Promises Education Will Remain Foremost Zolly Zollicoffer 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 CONTINUED ON PAGE 6 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- CONTINUEUON PAGE 7 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 CONTINUED ON PAGE 9 PAGE 5 MAY 31, 1967 THE PROFILE Christian Association President Elberfeld Sees One King Stresses CA's CA Function Growth Membership Of 750 Susan Philips Philips Running For Veep The coming school year holds 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.

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 c CONTINUED ON PAGE 9 Athletic Association President Marcia King 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 CONTINUED ON PAGE 10 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 CONTINUED ON PAGE 7 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. THE PROFILE MAY 31, 1967 p PAO E 6 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- Lucy Hamilton Board Creative, IntegralForHarper coisttinued from page 4 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 CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 PAGE 7 MAY 31, 1967 THE PROFILE Chairman Of House Presidents' Council Corbitt Hopes For Gregg Urges CohesiveDormLife J udicia l Function ^ear has seen many to sense thp n _ ... nf rhp - , . ^i^^KV"* * eliminated.

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. Stafford CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 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. Nina Gregg 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 Ji l o s udicial secretar y Response 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 CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 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. Interests Jordan life can too easily 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.

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 CONTINUED ON PAGE 10 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.

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 Phiii ps CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5 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. Hamilton CONTINUED FROM DAGE 6 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. PACE 9 MAY 31, 1967 m THE PROFILE May Announcement Causes Family Stir 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 ^ Frank Points Frankly To Student Freedom Lou Frank Swartsel Seeks Fiscal 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. Derrick 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 Sally Wood mittee, I am eager to put the keen sense of the responsibility of the council which I have gain- ed, and the enthusaism which I have for its ability to deal with and do something about your problems both to work serving you.

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. THE PROFILE MAY 31, 1967 PAGE 10 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 Brownley CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 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. by Poppy Wilson 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.

Finally, discussions of topics from Rep Council have been especially beneficial and should be con- tinued. Before A.A. is able to move outward, however, it must have a strong unified board with members who are capable in their particular area but also interested in and willingto sup- port the other activities of A.A. One of my major concerns with the board this past year was the lack of interest of some board members inactivities outside of their assigned responsibility.

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.

Sanders Black CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 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 the following evening of the symposium.

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 is also on the debate team, and while attending the All- Southern Intercollegiate Debate Tournament held here in Janu- ary he mentioned this article to 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- ed him because of it. 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 and universities. Only the exceptional student will obtain a liberal education under such diseased conditions. Order and conformity are the doctors prescribing pink and blue candy pills from the infir- mary to cure the boxed-in stu- dents.

(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 Decatur Cleaners & Hatters Campus pick up and delivery through Senior dry cleaning representatives 2 locations corner Church h Sycamore 145 Sycamore Street 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.

Wiles Winn Jews Only Policy Holds For Jewish Committee 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." CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 in in had Only Jews can belong to the American Jewish Committee, which rec. ntly attacked Agnes Scott for hiring only Christians for the permanent faculty.

THE PROFILE THE PROFILE Ok, toL in (On fa n d 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. Did you see the lovely pictures of Dana in the new VOGUE? They gave credit to the Dana School of Fine Arts, not a word about Agnes Scott. fe y Ann R oberts 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.

PAGE 3 APRIL 6. 1967 THE PROFILE For Christ And A Tan 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. "SAME OLD PALM TREES." An office on first Buttrick was mysteriously decorated in the manner of a jungle on April 1. Dean Kline relives his role as Polynesia the Parrot in "Dr. Doolittle in India." 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. Emory's Delta- Delta-Delta so- "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. "So, let's go, BravesI" ross 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." Bring Shoe Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc.

However, if the same team wins two years in succession, they keep the trophy for their col- lection. Naturally, competition will be maximum against the '69 class and all Scott to capture the trophy. 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.

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. WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.

(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 'The Sand Pebbles 9 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- W HAT REBEKAH LOOKED LIKE TO THE TELLY on Academy Awards night. Patricia Auclair and Ann Abernathy (center) work on a giant head for Derby Day. The others (1. to r.) Kathy Johnson, Kathy Van- 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- en, Presbyterian, Radford, Stratford, Tennessee Tech, and Wesleyan. Randolph-Macon is consider- ing joining and also sent rep- resentatives.

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. ^Volleyboir FRIDAY "CONSIDER THE LILIES OF THE FIELD."

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 Decatur Cleaners & Hatters 168 Sycamore 145 SYCAMORE ST.

NAME HOME ADDRESS PHONE: Local) 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. Clip and give to your senior dry cleaning representative.

They include Kit McMillan, Judy DeWitt, Prentice Fridy, Lynn Hyde, Bar- bara Hoffman, Patsy Rankin, Jean Wheeler, and Jean Rodman. 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.

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.

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.

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 Trotter will return to the French department on a part- time basis after a year's ab- sense. forgives his friend, and it is only then that Anckarstrom learns that his wife was inno- cent. 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.

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."

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 MOCKINGS FROM RAMONA 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- CONTINUED ON PAGE 4 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. Eleanor McCallie 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.

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 an enjoyable, though not stimu- lating, w^y to sr nd a Saturday afternoon.

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.

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. Bring Shoe Troubles To Clairmont Shoe Repair, Inc.

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.

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. CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 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.

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. Groups to attend other meals with her are being arranged by 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.

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.

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.

They do not necessari- ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body. 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 Photographer Advertising Manager.... Circulation Managers... Classified Advertising.

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? So long. _ . ., by Susan Aikman 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.

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.

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.

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 Parkerson 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* Publish CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Don't gripe any more when you don't get a test back for three weeks - your professor may be in the grips of some "research in progress."

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.

"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."

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.

They do not necessari- ly represent the opinion of the administration or the student body. 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.

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.

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."

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.

For this rea- son, Miss Johnson is especially excited about the plans for open- ing a DeKalb County Center for the YWCA. The organiza- tion already carries on activi- ties in rented buildings, but the new President hopes to see a YWCA building erected some- time in the near future.

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. BAILEY Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Phone DR-*3-0172 WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.
