Interest Reigns
At Fall's Retreat

by Susan Aikman

Sunday, Sept. 10. Over 100 eager student government members
report to the Agnes Scott campus. The enthusiasm overflows.
Everyone is ready for the new year to begin.

Wednesday, Sept. 13. These
same girls return to the cam-

pus, weary and worn. The en-
thusiasm is still there, but it
is marked by a sense of ex-
haustion and dirt.

These young ladies had just
spent three BUSY days at the
1967 Student Government Re-
treat at Camp Calvin planning
the business for fall quarter
and deciding on the emphasis
for the coming year.

At the Monday morning open-
ing session, Alice(Zolly) Zolli-
coffer, student body president,
introduced the theme for the
year "To What Intent?" Her
speech, geared to student
government, provided an in-
centive for the harried board
meeting which followed.

Attending the retreat were
members of Judicial Board,
Representative Council, Chris-
tian Association, Athletic As-
sociation, Social Council,
Orientation Council, and the
SILHOUETTE staff.

One of the major emphases
of Judicial Council at the re-
treat was the planning of the
details of the new Point System
for Penalties. It was decided
that the point system shall be
on a quarter basis and not
carry over each quarter.

Judicial members also dis-
cussed the interpretation of the
Policy Regarding the Use of
Alcoholic Beverages and plan-
ned to give some of their in-
terpretations in the next issue
of the PROFILE.

Representative Council spent
a great deal of time in dis-
cussing the meaning of "To
What Intent?" with special at-
tention to the meaning of edu-
cation. The emphasis again this
year in student government is
on new ideas and methods in
the educational experience.

"The Purpose of Education"
served as the topic for a
faculty-student panel discus-
sion Monday night at the re-
treat. Representing the stu-
dents were senior Judy King,
sophomore Ann Marquess, and
junior Evelyn Angeletti.
Faculty members included
Kwai Sing Chang, associate
professor of Bible; Geraldine
Meroney, associate professor
of history; Julia T. Gary, as-

sociate professor of chemistry
and associate dean of the facul-
ty and Miriam K. Drucker, pro-
fessor of psychology. Allyn
Smoak, a senior^ was the
moderator.

Each of the faculty mem-
bers and students seemed to
be in agreement that the liberal
arts education was the best
kind. The faculty members,
however, each had a different
definition of the "liberal arts"
education, but each seemed to
imply that it would, in effect,
create "the whole woman."

One different aspect of the
retreat, which allowed parti-
cipants to get away from the
seriousness of the occasion,
was the Retreat Olympics in
which students participated in
sports? events. The most un-
usual event was the Odd Animal
contest in which sponsors of
organizations participated in an
egg throw, won by Bertie Bond
of Social Council.

William M. Hannah has been
appointed Treasurer of Agnes
Scott College effective October
1, according to- art -Announce-
ment made by President Wal-
lace M. Alston.

Hannah comes to Agnes Scott
from the University of Pennsyl-
vania where he has been Comp-
troller since 1964.

A native of Louisville, Ky.,
he holds a B.S. degree in Com-
merce from the University of
Kentucky and a CP. A. degree
from the state of Wisconsin.

After serving three-and-a
half years in the Army during
World War II where he rose
to the rank of Warrant Officer,
Hannah was associated in Mil-
waukee with the public account-
ing firm of Arthur Andersen
and Company. Subsequently he
was a controller in industry
prior to joining the staff of the
University of Pennsylvania.

He is married to the former
Marie Grogel. They have two
children, Ellen, and William.

Agnes Scott's new treasur-
er is a director of the Phila-
delphia Chapter of the Finan-
cial Executives Institute and
is a member of the American
Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.

In announcing this appoint-
ment, Dr. Alston said: "Agnes
Scott is exceeedingly fortunate
in securing the services of Mr.
Hannah. He brings to his new
responsibilities excellent
training coupled with a rich and
varied experience in fiscal af-
fairs."

The President Speaks

To What Intent?

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is an edited version of a "
speech given by student body president Alice Zollicoffer at the
opening session of the 1967 Student Government Retreat. The
PROFILE hopes that every student at Agnes Scott will respond
to this speech and join with student government in exploring
this year's theme "To What Intent?"

Student government: Sandbox or self-government? the per-
vading question of the two philosophies within the system of
students organizing to meet their needs and desires. The older
idea that student government functions as a practice ground for
later life is now seriously challenged by theincreasing demands
placed upon students demands which dictate that students act as
a viable force for constructive change within the colleges and
universities. The responsibilities students have demanded and
received no longer allow student government to serve the pur-
pose of a make-believe drill in governing. Since Berkeley and
St. John's a new trend in student government, student partici-
pation, and student power has markedly developed.

Students no longer want college as an experience which dif-
ferentiates adolescence and maturity. The student today is be-
coming more aware of and involved with the modern society,
his community, and his educational process. He is no longer
an isolated segment of society, yet he is not content with what
he is finding, and he is demanding change. The education he
receives concerns him as much as black power, urban unrest,
and Viet Nam. The student of our generation feels an urgent need
to know and to help right what is wrong to play a creative role
in the society that surrounds him.

That society which most affects him is his college community.
Here, too, he wants to have more than a receiving role. He is
grasping for his place as a contributor within the academic
world to help better the educational process and to confront
those within his college with the crucial issues concerning
the goals of higher education. And the student maintains that
these questions aimed at the grass roots of education retain a
nosition of priority on the campus.

Student government can here relieve itself of sandbox duties
and initiate educational programs on tne campus specifically
designed to create an awareness of issues that will untimately
result in student expression on what they feel is relevant.

What aboutstudents not being interested?Caught with the cliche
that students are apathetic, we sometimes forget that people are
only interested in things that seem relevant to them actions and

jearley rising sj

by Sandra Earley

For once in my life I created some sort of sensation without
really trying even in the middle of freshman arrivals. I've
been accused of doing things for their shock effect and I must
admit that a Hub-piano-yellow and black pick-up truck with the
legend "Earley Auto Supply, Greer, S. C/' on the side is not the
most inconspicious mode of transportation, but, actually, it's
the only way to travel (inspite of what Honda would have you
believe).

Dad threatened me with the truck my Freshman year, but that
was only a gentle jibe guaranteed to throw my freshman cool into
complete rout; this year it was a necessity 0 Two years of dedica-
tion to pack ratting have taken their toll.

Hardeman Cottage with its eighteen other occupants has be-
come home to my traveling claptrap. Sitting here in my room
next to the bathroom, I feel that this may soon become to me what
Walden Pond must have been to Henry David. John has such a
lovely throaty gurgle.

Then there's the bath lub; 1 can hardly wait until I get de-
pressed. 1 can always be cheered up in the bathtub; I can go in
there and play queen to revive my spirits the tub is elevated
on four such lovely pedestals and pours forth two golden drops
of hot water every hour (something like Old Faithful, but dif-
fe rent).

(i must interject here that I shall frequently draw comparisons
between Hardeman and familiar landmarks so that readers can
visualize the accommodations without the necessity of a visit
although we'd love to have you come, but do wait until the hole
Mrs. May's heel made in the front porch is repaired).

Ours is such a bright room; the eight windows are a real
contribution. A little wall space mightcontribute Something, too,
but I really can't complain when we have such a lovely view.
The grain in the wood of the cream-colored siding on Sturgis
Cottage is magnificent; you should see the sun rise over it.

We have the only blue room with two closets in the whole
cottage.

It's the only blue room and the only room with two closets.
They say that it's who you know not what you know in this world.
I room with our Judicial.

And then there's Margaret and Pat's room. They live inside
an inside-out snake. It's that time of the year and the snake is
shedding its skin in bits and patches. I hope Pat never
hears anyone calling her Miss Snowflake; it'snotthat she needs
Head and Shoulders, it's just that the sheddingest part is over
her bed.

But Margaret and Pat really can't complain their room has
French doors and how can a solid door ever compete with that?

I've always been partial to houses on hills; that have a charm
all their own. Hardeman is no exception; that hill under the left
front corner of the house does all kind of charming things to the
buildings. The floors slant cunning away from that corner and
the rollar-coaster-ride effect is quite unique. The frontdoor
fits its frame so beautifully at the bottom, that is; it misses by
about two inches at the top. I've always had a posture problem
because I'm so tall; now when I stand with my back to that left
front corner everything is perfectly fine I don't slump at
all.

I do really like Hardeman; after all, I did choose to live here.
It has its advantages and when you think about it who really
needs desk drawers and a place to study?

You know those contests they are always
having on the radio to name some new pro-
gram or something? Well, the PROFILE is
going to sponsor a new contest it's called
"Help the Editor Find a New Name for Her
Column."

The person coming up with the most
original and appropriate name will be re-
warded with one ice cream cone at the Dairy
Queen down the street. All students, faculty
members, and staff arc invited to enter this
contest which will run from Friday, Sept.
22 until Thursday noon, Sept. 28. All entries
should be placed in Box 722.

And as long as the column is still called
"Observations," I'll just proceed to make a
few on some of the new things and people here
at Agnes Scott.

NEW THEME

The campus has gone from "Perspective"
to "Markings" to "Emergence" in the past
three years as themes for student govern-
ment. This year we are going to stop for a
moment and ask, "To What Intent?"

This is something each organization and
each student can stop and ask herself. "To
what intent PROFILE?" This is a good
question, and one we hope to answer in the
coming weeks. The PROFILE, in my opinion,
serves a purpose of keepingthecollegecom-
munity aware of its people, business, and in
general news.

At anytime the readers do not think the
PROFILE is serving its "intent," I certainly

do wish they would speak up. We are always
ready to recei\e letters to the editor--not
just on something we have said or failed to
say but also on anything you believe to be of
general interest to the student body.

NEW OFFICE

1 paid a visit to Dean Kline in his new
quarters the other day, and I still feel 1 like
I was dreaming. One of the things which im-
pressed me the most was that I could see
the top of his old roll-top desk. With all the
stuff which had been piled on it in past
years, I never really believed it had a top.

Miss Gary seemed right at home in her new
office in the dean's complex on first Buttrick.
What a welcome home present thattnust have
been after her year's leave. By the way, it's
nice to have her back.

NEW CARPETS

Now that Walters also has carpets on the
halls, it might become almost as in demand
as Winship. I can't help feeling sorry for the
people on the first floor, however. Just be-
cause their hall was already divided is no
reason to discriminate against them. It's not
their fault after all, why can't they have a
carpet, too?

While we're on the subject, would you be-
lieve third Rebekah?

Bruce Tells About
NSA Conference

Many things have been said about the actions of the 1500 stu-
dents who attended the 20th National Student Congress, legislative
and study convention of the National Student association, held at
the University of Maryland from August 1 1-26.

Some have condemned the
group as unrepresentative. In
one way this is true. They

were not representative of the
typical apathetic college stu-
dent, but they represented well
the students who get involved
and get things done, both on and
off campus.

These young people are often
obnoxious to older citi/ens.
They question the "way things
always were," and they won't
accept pat answers. They re-
gard themselves as citizens of
the v\orld, and reject blind
patriotism as nationalism
which alienates the world's
people.

Representing Scott, I voted
for student power (a very con-
servative piece of legislation)
and faculty rights (one of the
best things passed.) I east votes
against the anti-draft and Black
Power resolutions. Therewere
serious questions in my mind
about the drug and urban un-
rest bills, yet I agreed with
much of the ideas inherent in
them. Therefore, I abstained
from voting on them.

In the next few issuer of the
Profile, I will explain there-
solutions passed by NSA giv-
ing my interpretations of \shat
they mean, and explaining why
I \ oted as I did.

MOCKINGS

ABOUT
RAMONA

The PROFILE staff has join-
ed with a large percentage of
the student body in their con-
cern over the absence of a
familiar face on campus
Ramona Cartwright. Yes, with
much regret we must confirm
the rumor: Ramona has not
yet signed in.

According to the Dean's Of-
fice, which has been consulting
with Ramona's closest con-
tacts, (i.e. Mrs. Cartwright,
Cassandra, the Rho Rho Rho
house, and Butch) she was last
heard from in July.

It seems that she won a
contest for writing the best
25 words or less to the ques-
tion, "Who was William
Miller?" The prize was a
trip to Europe

Mrs. Cartwright informed
the staff of Ramona's gratitude
for having selected a liberal
arts college (a background
which enabled her to formulate
the correct and concise answer)
and her excitement over the
prospects of becoming a whole
woman. However, Cassandra
was quick to add that this
excitement changed to panic
when Ramona, after a two week
scenic passage on a banana
boat, realized that she had
merely won a trip to Europe
no tour, no spending money,
and no return trip.

The Rho Rho house acknow-
ledged that they had received
correspondence from Ramona
in the form of collect wires,
but they could not accept the
charges as the treasurer's sup-
port showed them $200 in the
red. They blamed this factor
on extravangance in selecting
groovy bandq.

Butch, tne iinal resource of
the Dean's stuff, reported hear-
ing from Ramona late in July
when he opened a letter with
60<f postage due only to find
a newspaper clipping. Attach-
ed to the article was a picture
of Ramona being flanked by
several rough-looking gen-
darmes. Butch could not
imagine her purpose in sending
the letter as he does not even
read French,

FROM THIS TO THIS

Kline's Office Is Plush

One of the old campus stand-
bys has been relocated. Dean C.
Benton Kline and his staff mov-
ed to plush new offices this
September. In fact Dean Kline
says that his new suite is al-
most too fancy. He misses the
old office, but he took some
remembrances with him.

On top of the attractive book-
shelves built by Mr. Saxon, the
head of the Agnes Scott car-
penter shop, and his stall are
two blue ducks, relics of April
Fool's Day 1967. However, the
ducks did not travel alone be-
cause Dean Kline also brought
a few ants, 1967 companions

of the ducks.

Although the ducks and ants
do not quite blend in with the
decor, they do add personality
to the office. Dean Kline likes
blue (I thought he was color-
blind) so the ducks are quite
noticeable in the gold-toned
room. The entire suite, de-
corated by Ray Lang, is done in
shades of gold and brown with
orange accents.

Across from Dean's Kline's
office, Miss Gary sits in a
lovely office with wall-to-wall
bookshelves built by the ASC
carpenters. Miss Cary com-
mented, "It was worth going
away for a year to get this
office." Both Miss Stapleton
and Mrs. Speingner enjoy their
new surroundings. The library
and mimeograph room please
them especially. All the added
space gives Dean Kline, Miss
Cary, and their staff room to
file everything. In other words
Dean Kline now has a space for
all his papers other than on top
of his desk!

But, lest you think the new
^-uite changes much, take note
of the sign sent to Dean Kline
this summer which reads,
"April Fool's Moves with You
(Bui Id i ng for a Better To-
morrow)". That small group of

first attacked Dean Kline's old
office on April First, will never

(Cont. from P. 1)
policies which will affect them. Student governments all face this
problem of apathy on the campus. But a problem and it can
be met. If students are not interested in what student government
is doing, then student government should examine its programs
in relation to student needs.

We talk about lack of communication, and yet the basis of
student government should be the opinion and responsiveness
of the students. Otherwise student government will grow to be
ineffective a sandbox playground. Student government is in one
of the most-'prepared positions to assume the initiative in con-
sidering and raising issues to levels of importance, in develop-
ing student awareness, and in encouraging intelligent student
action. However, to be a responsible organization of students, we
must first and foremost respond to the students to their needs
and their ideas on every facet of their educational experience
from the Honor System to financial aid to facilities.

Student government at Agnes Scott has the potential to meet the
needs of students' personal growth and change to work with
students in recognizing the needs which are not being met, in
challenging the traditions of student government which have be-
come stagnant, in questioning rather than acceptingthe premises
of the educational process. If we are to act in a self-governing
capacity a government for students made by students this stu-
dent government has to work and take governing seriously.

We have a community and we have a obligation to that com-
munity. It is a college community and like other college com-
munities it was established to serve as a model for the larger
community a community within a society with an inheritance
of some of the most idealistic yet highest of goals. Here in this
college community, students have an unsurpassed opportunity
to challenge their society both that of the larger community
and that of the college environment. Students are challenging
the grass roots of their educational institutions. Given the oppor-
tunity, it becomes a responsibility a responsibility which must
be met if colleges and universities are to keep interested and
aware and acting students.

This opportunity has been long neglected by students and stu-
dent governments. Students are now willing to take an active
role in academic policy making; they are now ready to work with
faculty and administrations to experiment with cnange within
the traditional educational systems. The academic community
is making a response a response characterized by a questioning
of the purpose of education, a challenging that education can be
people learning on their own terms, and a demanding of intelli-
gent and open discussion within the academic world.

Yet there is a sense of urgency. . .an urgency transmitted
directly by a modern society which itself seems to be unraveling,
an urgency demanding that higher education work within students'
lives. The search for meaning in college and in the educational
process reflects the students' search for relating relevancy in
his life as a student and in his life as an individual.

What are the implications here? First, that students are be-
coming active participants on the college campus and simultan-
eously in the community. . .sometimes noisely, sometimes quiet-
ly. But they are interested in what directly concerns them.

Second, that the college community is becoming more than a
model for the larger society. Students are moving from the
isolated ivy-covered walls and beginning to draw from both
communities for their learning experience.

A third implication follows that students are groping for an
understanding of the relationship between academics and educa-
tion.

Fourth and I think foremost is how this applies to us at Agnes
Scott. I am not only talking about educational reform in the
classroom or on the grade sheet; I am talking about the entire
educational process of every experience in learning. . .and that
should include student government. Self-government represents
no practice ground rather it provides an opportunity for
students to learn, to express themselves, and to act.

Angeletti
Wins City
Matches

Athletic Association upheld
its good name in Decatur this
summer when Evelyn Angeletti
entered the city's annual tennis
tournament and walked off with
a first place in threedivisions.
She won the women's singles,
women's doubles, and mixed
doubles. Lou Frank, another
Athletic Association member,
was her partner in the doubles
competition.

When asked about her show-
ing, Evelyn was embarrassed
about it, stating that there were
many players on campus that
had beaten her before, so she
wasn't that good. She also add-
ed, "I've played in that tourna-
ment before .and the results
have never been like this."
But a clean sweep victory like
hers still looks convincing.

Mrs. Concepcion Leon
Is New On Dean's Staff

The staff of the Dean of
Women at Agnes Scott has a
new member this year, Mrs.
Concepcion P. Leon, of Guan-
tanamo, Cuba. She will take the
place of Sylvia Chapman, who
will be attendingColumbia Uni-
versity graduate school.

Mrs. Leon comes to Scott
with experience in various
kinds of schools. She has been
affiliated with the Episcopal
Church for many years. While
in Cuba, she was in charge
of the kindergarten at the Am-
hurst School in Guantanamo.

In 1960, when Premier Fidel
Castro nationalized all Cuban
schools, Amhurst was no longer
under the church's jurisdiction.
Mrs. Leon then resigned and

sent her two children to school
in the United States.

After losing her husband in
1963, she came, by way of
Madrid, Spain, to the United
States as a resident in 1964.
While in the U.S., she has
been under the guidance and
protection of the Episcopal
Church. In 1964 she was a
delegate to the General Con-
vention of Episocoal Churches
in St. Louis . Episcopal Canon
R. Hay, of South Florida, sent
Mrs. Leon to St. Mary's School

in Sewanee, Tenn. as a resident
mother. She remained there
three years until coming to
Agnes Scott.

Mrs. Leon's two children
are in college in the U.S. Her
daughter, Maura, who was 15
when she came to the States,
is now working on her mas-

NBC'S JAMES ROBINSON TO LECTURE

Thursday, October 5 in Presser Hall

NBC's James Robinson
Lectures Thursday

James Robinson, the National
Broadcasting Company's Wash-
ington correspondent, will
speak at Agnes Scott October
5 on "China's Continuing Revo-
lution",

A large portion of Robinson's
life has been spent in Asia. He
did graduate work at both
Tsinghua and Yenching Univer-
sities in Peking and also taught
for one year at Tsinghua.

During World War II Robin-
son spent his military service
in the south, central and eastern
Pacific. When he returned to
Peking, China, he witnessed
the revolution that overthrew
the Nationalist government of
Chiang Kai - shek and put the
Communists into control.

In 1950 b-.- cause of the
Communist regime, Robinson
went to Bangkok, Thailand, to
become editor and publisher of
a daily newspaper. While there
he lived and worked side by
side with the Thai people and
saw the Asian situation first
hand. The Thai people so hon-
ored and respected James
Robinson that they named him
Advisor to the Prime Minister.

At the beginning of the Korean
War, Robinson joined NBC as a
correspondent and in his un-

matched style reported the
events with an understanding
eye and a keen ear. Following
the Korean truce, Robinson went
to Indochina to be on hand for
the French defeat at Dien-
bienphu.

Robinson has also reported on
events from Europe; and prior
to his current position as NBC
dent, Robinson was the NBC
News Bureau Chief in Berlin.
Following the Berlin assign-
ment, he reported from
Moscow, the eastern European
bloc nations, and several wes-
tern European countries.

In all James Robinson has re-
ported events from abroad for
more than twenty years, and in
the service of news coverage
he has made significant contri-
butions. Robinson's story en-
compasses the covering of
wars, coups d'etats, and any-
thing else that is vital to news
and history. His reports to the
American viewers and listeners
have come from Europe, Asia,
and all over the world. As his
press release states, "No
matter where he is, James
Robinson gets the inside story."

His lecture will be followed
by a reception in the Rebakah
Reception Room.

ASC Schedules
Alumnae Classes

by Betty Sale

This fall quarter brings not only the start of a new academic
year for Scott undergraduates, but also another series of the
Continuing Education Program for alumnae. Started five years
ago by the Agnes Scott Alumnae Association, the program grew
out of requests of former Scott students for the same intellec-
tual fare as that received during their college years.

Recognizing the specific de-

mands of Scott alumnae along
with the nationwide trend of
continuing college education,
the existing program was set
up by the collaboration of the
Association's Education Com-
mittee and the standing faculty
Committee on Alumnae Affairs.
The former committee has as

its chairman Jean Chalmers
Smith (Mrs. Walter A.) and the
latter is headed by Scott's Di-
rector of Alumnae Affairs, Ann
Worthy Johnson.

According to Miss Johnson,
Dean C. Benton Kline has been
extremely helpful working along
with the faculty committee,

Juniors Keep Trophy

The annual Honors Day Con-
vocation at which special
awards, honor roll, and merit
list are announced was held
Wednesday, Sept. 27 in Gaines
Chapel.

The Class ScholarshipTrophy
was established by the Mortar
Board Chapter of 1956-1957.
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 was
awarded this year to the Class
of 1969 on the basis of their
academic records as sopho-
mores.

The three students who rank
first academically in the rising
sophomore, junior, and senior
classes are designated each
year as "Stukes Scholars" in
recognition of Dean Emeritus
Samuel Guerry Stukes' distinc-
tive service to the college. The
Stukes Scholars named on the
basis of the work of the 1966-67
session are Mareta Jane Wil-
kins, class of 1970; Martine
Watson Brownley, class of 1969;
and Susan Martin McCann, class
of 1968.

The Jennie Sentelle Houghton
Scholarship was established by
Dr. M.E. Sentelle of Davidson,
N.C. It is awarded on the basis
of future promise as indicated
by character, personality, and
scholarship. It has been
awarded for the 1967-1968
session to Doris Allvn Smoak,
a senior, from Bamberg, S.C.

The Rich Prize^ is given an-
nually by Rich's of Atlanta for
distinctive academic work in
the freshman class. Oma Kath-
leen Mahood of Knoxville, Term,
is the recepient of the Rich
Prize on the basis of her work
in the 1966-1967 session.

Letitia Frances Lowe and
Anna Eliza Stockman have been
awarded this year's Presser
Scholarships in Music given
by the Presser Foundation of
Philadelphia.

The Kathleen Hagood Gam-
brell Scholarship, awarded to
a student who will devote her
life to some phase of the Chris-
tian ministry, was given this
year for the second time to
Letitia Frances Lowe.

For the 1966-1967 session
there were 64 students named
to the Honor Roll for distinc-
tion in academic work.

Theodore Mathews
Heads Glee Club

This year Agnes Scott boasts a new member of the music de-
partment who will serve as permanent director of the college
glee club. Theodore K. Mathews, assistant professor of music,
comes to us from Providence, Rhode Island.

He completed his undergrad-
uate work at Brown University,
received his M.A.T. from Har-
vard, and is currently working
toward his doctorate in music-
ology at the University of Michi-
gan.

He was a member of the Rhode
Island Civic Chorale, besides
serving as its vice president,
assistant conductor, author of
program notes, and guest lect-
urer. The Civic Chorale gives
six or seven major performan-
ces a year using both orchestra
and chorus, some of which in-
clude the "Messiah," a four
day Bach festival, and some im-
portant secular works.

While in Rhode Island, Mat-
hews was active in high school
glee club work. His high school
chorus won the highest rating
in the statewide competition, k
and was one of the two public
schools to represent Rhode Is- I
land at the New York World's
Fair.

While at Brown, under the "4
title of Civilian Entertainer for
the Armed Forces, he toured |k
Europe as a jazz clarinetist. He :
covered France, Germany,
Luxembourg, Denmark, and al-
so reached Cuba and Bermuda.

OBSERVATIONS

Registration

The Registrar's staff at Agnes Scott de-
serves a vote of praise for their successful
improvements in registration this year.
Most returning students have been con-
scious of the efficient ease of the procedure
this fall in contrast to the anxiety and ten-
sion of waiting in the long lines of previous
year So

That "necessity is the mother of inven-
tion" was indeed proved in the handling of
these hectic but unavoidable first days.
There were several reasons for the change
in procedure, around which the admis-
sions staff had to work. The room form-
erly used for registration was unsuitable
this year after it had been handsomely
refurnished for interviews. The rooms
regularly used for the course committee
had been converted into offices for Dean
Kline and Miss Gary. Orientation Com-
mittee, working with Miss Gary, had ex-
panded the course committee to 10 faculty
members instead of the usual three, with
senior advisors to help each freshman in-
dividually.

All these changes required that regis-
tration be accelerated and that new rooms
be used. To facilitate the procedure for
freshmen and incoming students, the com-
mittee registered groups of fifteen at a time,
thereby eliminating the long lines.

Procedure for all upper classmen was
simplified from previous years. Each class
registered as one group instead of individ-
ually, and the large lecture rooms in Camp-
bell proved excellent for this purpose.*

The effort of the admissions staff to
eliminate the hectic atmosphere and to in-
crease the efficiency of registration was
greatly appreciated by all. The psychologi-
cal benefit to the freshmen was noticeable
since they felt more at ease without a long
line of clamoring classmates behind them.
For a major change in such an involved
program, the results were rewarding, and
we wish to commend the staff on its success.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALL GAME

When trying to decide on a subject for
this week's "Observations," I asked a friend
o f mine who had recently returned from
spending the summer in the San Francisco
area. Naturally, he suggested "hippies" and
even gave me a Letter to the Editor from
a San Francisco newspaper as an example
of how big the thing is out there.

Thinking about the subject, I decided he
was right. You know, "everybody does '
write about the hippies," so I guess it's
time I have my say. Carrington Wilson
has a Haight-Asbury travel poster in her
office, Mr. Whittemore attended a happen-
ing in Frisco, and even I bought a psy-
chedelic dress so I guess Scotties are in-
terested in the subject.

There was a love-in this summer at
Grant Park, but I unfortunately was not able
to attend. Some of my friends dropped by,
accidentally^ they thought it was a family
reunion. Some familyl

Anyway, here is the text of the letter
from "Sein Fein O'Conn" of Fremont, Calif,
to the San Francisco paper. Hope you enjoy
it as much as I did.

"If the pursuit of happiness is a free
man's right, why isn't the pursuit of happi-
ness a parity right? Some might say hippi-
ness is the pursuit of pot. But pot makes a
hippie happy, and I say happiness is a potted

hippie. What's so bad about a hippopot,
a must, say 1.

"Can you break a hippie child of his
pot? Pot is a pleasing smoke, 1 believe.
Pot is also a familiar seat to relieve. Deny
the pot to a hippie and you may create an
unhappy hippie. But, losing the hippiness
and finding statusness, they may revert to
snottiness. Or even worse, a snobbish snook.
What is worse? A status quo bore or the
ad hoc hippie roar?

"My hippies have tripped the bad notion;
my hippies are deaf to my pleas; White
Power has set them in motion; Black Power
has trembled their knees. I say, don't go,
Oh! don't go. Please come back my hippies
to me, to me.

"And I say to my hippies: Pot is the
cannon in the navel war with Ma. Pot is
the car key you never got from Pa. A pot
is a pot, is a pot. If we al just try to be-
come hip, to try to understand, then per-
haps this gap in our age, some call just
a rage, will burn out to be nothing but
crap. Invented by greedy clowns that fake
sage."

Well, what kind of comment can a shelter-
ed Scottie in Atlanta make about a letter
like that. I had trouble thinking of an in-
telligent one, so I decided to pass it on to
you. Sorry bout that, by Susan Aikman

Way Of Life?

The Honor System a vague phrase which
is termed Agnes Scott's "way of life" by
some and a trivial system of rules and
regulations by others. Recognizing the need
for a more responsible freedom, Judicial
Board has enacted a more honest Honor
System in its new point system for minor
penalties.

It represents a truer Honor System in
that it replaces hand- spanking with greater
freedom for self-discipline. It replaces
meaningless and overabundant campuses
with self-responsibility.

It is a good move. And its experimental
basis leaves its significance up to the stu-
dent. Whether the "trivialities" become a
"way of life" within this structure is up to
you.

Quisquiliae Temere

by Tina Brownley

Pre-Retreat in the smoke-
and plan-filled Alumnae House
merges into the grubbily re-
warding and tiringly exciting
Student Government Retreat at
Camp Calvin. From the wil-
derness the pathfinders lumber
out, their ranks newly swelled
by junior sponsors and sopho-
more helpers, to launch Orien-
tation as they gather in the
freshmen from car, bus, train,
plane, dog sled.

Orientation is channeled into
Registration as the rest of the
Agnesers file in to be numbered,
addressed, coursed, and sche-
duled (not to mention confound-
ed, harassed, cajoled , etc.) By
the time classes begin all of the
students at Agnes Scott have
lined up at some time or another
to be counted in for 1967-1968.

All of this activity seems
sometimes to be one long pro-
cess of judging: "Ateveryword
a reputation dies." The cour-
ses, the classes, the faculty,
the boards, the Business Of-
fice, the Food Service, the
Housing Office, the Adminis-
tration the student warily
surveys and sizes up all, even
as she herself is being evalua-
ted. Needless to say, constant
investigation and evaluation is
necessary and valid; we can
ask 'To What Intent?" even as

we advance, and student govern-
ment has well-chosen an im-
portant and relevant theme.

But the significance of a judg-
ment depends on both the time
that it is made and the person
making it. A worldly-wise
freshman relaxing in the Hub
on the first day of classes in-
forms me that one of her tea-
chers is not good at all. Up-
perclassmen segregated by
choice or otherwise in Main,
Winship, and cottages, seeing
an individual freshman or two
in action, moan about the up-
start young generation.

Unfortunately, a beginning is
only an indication and should be
accepted as such. We found
out in the last two years to en-
joy the first meals of the quar-
ter and to wait until the last
couple of weeks to see the de-
nouement before rejoicing or
regurgitating.

So, we will evaluate ourselves
and our environment. Break in
our shoes, our sleeping and eat-
ing habits, our tempers to
school again. Agnes Scott is
for different people at various
times a Divine Comedy, a Com-
edy of Errors, an Oddyssey, a
Paradise Lost. Judgment is
good. Suspension of judgment
is, in some cases, even better.

CA Plans
Banquet

For Frosh

Christian Association, which
has emphasized the value of the
individual human life during
freshman orientation, will con-
clude its orientation activities
with a dinner for new students
October 2. At this time mem-
bers of the board will present
a play based on "Facades" by
Marjorie Shearer.

The board is inviting stu-
dents, faculty and administra-
tion to participate in a Com-
munion Service, Sunday, Oct.
1, at 5 p.m. in McLean Audi-
torium. The service, led by
Dean C. Benton Kline, will be
part of the observance of World-
wide Communion Sunday.

Continuing C.A/s call for in-
dividual involvement, members
of the service projects commit-
tee will present a skit in chapel
on October 3. Later in the
week, C. A. board and com-
mittee members will focus on
the projects during complins.

The projects this year in-
clude adult education, Camp-
fire Girls, recreation for De-
catur boys and girls, Scottish
Rite Hospital, and tutorial.

Response Good
To Pass-Fail

Juniors and Seniors have the
privilege this year of electing
courses on a Pass-Fail basis.
At the present time, 48 students
have elected courses on this
basis; 35 Seniors, and 13 Jun-
iors. Seniors, obviously, are
taking advantage of their only
year in which to elect Pass-
Fail courses.

There are 24 different cour-
ses in which students are tak-
ing Pass-Fail courses, and nine
different departments. There
is one course in which about
one-third of the class is taking
it on the Pass-Fail basis. Sev-
enteen of these courses are 300-
level and seven below 300-
levcl.

In reference to the new Pass-
Fail program, Dean Kline said
that response has been very
good.

Silk Sari Crowd For Groseclose;

Nancy Groseclose has re-
turned to Scott after a year in
India with the United States-
India Womens College Exchange
Program. Miss Groseclose,
an associate professor of bio-
logy, taught last year at Mi-
randa House in New Delhi. In
turn, Miss Mercy Sanuel came
from India to teach at Agnes
Scott.

When asked about her school
in India, Miss Groseclose said
that Miranda is similar in many
ways to American schools. Es-
tablished in missionaries, itis
one of six women's colleges
associated with the University
of Delhi. Of the 1625 students
attending this Christian school,
only a few live in full residence.
The girls at Miranda House are
"Pretty, neat, and graceful."
In fact, a lady from the Ameri-
can Embassy told Miss Grose-
close that she was teaching the
"silk sari crowd."

Miss Groseclose pointed out,
however, that Miranda House
and American schools have
their differences. At Miranda
classes begin in mid July and

Groseclose remarked that most
of the girls wanted to get mar-
ried and be homemakers and
had no interest in a professional

And I thought I was going to have a hard time finding some-
thing to write about in my column this week. I am glad I waited
until after the weekend to work on it.

Friday night as many Scotties were skipping off to fraternity
parties and various and assorted other dates, I dropped Moll
Flanders and packed myself into a Corvair with five other girls
and headed off for what was to be a quiet evening at a movie.
Even racy ole Moll might have been surprised.

We picked our movie arbitrarily and ended up with one called
"10:30 p.m. Summer." It turned out to be some kind of art
film, so we settled back to pick out the sex symbols like all
good little Scotties are taught to do in English 101. Yes, there
were quite a few of them (I think).

Our little green Corvair was parked behind a gas station
next door to the theatre and after the movie, we had full in-
tentions of going back to the car, driving back to school and re-
suming our studies at A.S.C.

We did resume our studies, but they were studies of another
sort. We were conscientiously shouting about not having under-
stood the movie and being totally oblivious to everything around
us when suddenly something brought us back to the world. A
little guy in the service station lot offered to attack all six of
us.

Yes, we were a little taken aback, but upon closer exami-
nation we realized that (1) we'd had the A.S.C. self-defense
course, (2) he couldn't get all six of us at once and (3) he really
hadn't made the statement for our benefit at all. He was trying
to impress the policeman leaning against his motorcycle in
front of The Pennant restaurant.

Dawn broke in our fuzzy little minds. Our art film was play-
ing on the corner of Peachtree and Fourteenth Street.

As the alumnae lady told us in the first convocation, Atlanta
has changed, especially over the summer. And here we were,
the Scotties from places like Greer, S. C., and Hopuelikit,
Ga., in the hippie capital of Atlanta. We were agog.

We hopped into our little green Corvair and drove up and
down Fourteenth Street. I didn't even have time to be angry
that I was sitting in the middle of the back seat and couldn't
see as well as those by the window.

Scotties have been accused of being overprotected, naive,
not ready for the real world, etc. Well, maybe. I wonder
about the possibilities of correcting this. Do you think field
trips are the answer?

Scottie Hippies?

Freshmen on the Scott campus are aiding in the introduction
of a new fashion of clothesthe mod, psychedelic, minidress.
The new taste in fashion has spread to upperclassmen as well
with the result that 8:30 classes are bright and everyone stays
awake now. Here Bernie Todd wears a patent leather dress
featuring checks and tiger stripes in alternate patters. Jan
Roush and Karen Hazelwood wear calmer? mini-dress of stripes

France, Cathy encountered her
first language barrier. "I was

found it a little difficult at first
to communicate with anyone.
The first day, I spent two hours

Armed with EUROPE ON

and a boat trip down the Rhine.

A sociology major, Cathy
found the natives very friendly

no trouble at all. After awhile,
you could pick out those you
could feel safe to encounter."

When asked the value of
traveling alone, Cathy enthusi-

Yellow-Orange Hub Has
Something for Everyone

What could be more Scottie
than 'tenna- toppers' for the
powder room, menus from those
memorable cafes or so-
ciety restaurants, paintings by
Scotties, a pool table, television
rooms, bright happy colors, a
lemon yellow piano, and our
Hub?

The Agnes Scott students
building has new insides this
year, thanks to Karen Hamilton
and P. J. Rogers. Their con-
stant summer work has pro-
vided the campus with a new
dimension for relaxation and
s tudy .

With Social Council Board's
approval, Karen undertook this

restoration project early last
spring. She adopted the color
scheme of orange and yellow
for brightness and workability
of the Hub's present colors.
Each piece of furniture was
refinished or painted. Cush-

reupholstered. Dean Carrie
Scandrett suggested a piano
painting, specifically lemon

Congress Discusses
Student Power Role

By Cheryl Bruce

The University of Maryland had all the confusion and excite-
ment of a three-ring circus during the 16 days that it hosted
the NSA Congress. There were always several different things
of all sorts going on at the same time.

There was a "first-of-its-

kind" drug conference, with
outstanding speakers and the
most comprehensive and time-
ly references available. The le-
gislation on drug use and
campus policy was drafted by
participants in this conference.

I hope soon to devote an arti-
cle to the experimental college
which was also a part of the
Congress. It was quite unlike
anything most of us from con-
ventional schools had ever seen,
and it stimulated a questioning
of our personal attitudes toward
learning.

Reference groups, informal
discussions, steering commit-
tee meetings, workshops, semi-
nars, symposiums all were
part of the Congress, but the fo-
cal point of all that went on was
the Armory and the plenary
^sessions which all delegates
and observers attended) floor.
Here was the scene of the long

terest to students. Here the de-
cisions criticized in editorials
the next morning, were made.

The Armory came to be a very
familiar place after several 14-
hour days spent on the floor.
But there, seated at tables cov-
ered with papers, we,al. made
our most thoughtful and re-
sponsible decisions.

One of the statements of this
group, the student power was
resolution. The young, thought-
ful and very able students said
that the recognized and support-
ed "the 'student power* move-
ment as a movement designed
to gain for students their full
rights as citizens and their
right to democratically control
their non-academic lives and
participate to the fullest in the
administrative and educational
decision-making process of the
college or university."

Calling for student govern-
ments to realize the responsi-
bilities that went along with
rights, USNSA recognized the
following areas as falling with-
in the purview of students alone
through their student govern-
ments:

1. Registration, chartering
and regulation of student or-
ganizations and activities

2. Student government and
student activities financing

3. Regulation of cultural
programming

4. Determination of dormi-
tory hours and visitation poli-
cies

5. Establishment of any
housing regulations

6. Establishment of any so-
cial or recreational regulations

7. All disciplinary decisions
regarding the violation of stu-
dent regulations.

Recognizing the basic inter-
est of students in the determina-
tion of all administrative and
educational policies, USNSA
deemed the following as areas

paper fansies placed through-
out the Hub carry out the de-
cor's colors.

The biggest addition is cur-
tains for the windows. These
flowered creations were de-
signed and made by Karen and
her sisters. The bulletin board
is covered in the same print
for effectiveness.

Machines were overhauled
for student use. The sewing
machine downstairs is now
available. The mimeographer
wil soon be ready. In addi-
tion, the televisions were
checked and the piano tuned.

Some changes have occurred
for more effective use of the
Hub's facilities. The pool table
is now in the downstairs side
room. The former pool room
on the main floor is now a tv
room for dates. Another tv
room for girls only is in the
upstairs side room.

New magazines are ordered
for the Hub reader. Included
are "Atlanta," "McCall's",
1 'Bride, 99 "Mademoiselle,"
"Saturday Review," and
"Life." Since "Newsweek's"
delivery is so campus-wide, the
plan is to put student copies in
the Hub.

Other additions for the Hub
include new playing cards and
bridge score pads, donated by
various industries. New glass
ashtrays have also been order-
ed.

On the basement wall will
be an array of menus from var-
ious Atlanta restaurants. These
decorations will also provide
price listings for anyone inter-
ested, not to mention the mem-
ories they will stir.

Black Cat Allows Us
To Laugh At Selves

by Terri Langston

"Black Cat!?" is an expression causing quite a bit of
puzzlement to those new to Agnes Scott. And although this
is a very old tradition, every year it reassumes an air of
mystery what's the plot? What are the songs like? Who's
in it?

On one cool October Friday
night all the mystery is dis-
pelled by lighthearted humor
and gaiety. It gives us all a
chance to laugh at ourselves
maybe that's why we like it.
It is designed for freshmen,
and yet it seems to mean more
each year.

Anyway, the magic of Black
Cat will come again on October
13 and Friday the 13 at thatl
Of course, the four classes will
present their class songs and
sister songs. After the song
contest, the cats from the 4
classes will begin the produc-
tion. Black Cat is a pretty
good reflection of Agnes Scott.

Each night the cast gathers
in Gaines to work on every-
thing from standing positions
to final polishing of the lines.
The director and script com-
mittee make many changes be-
fore the final presentation.

Curious? Well, no names but
maybe some hints from a couple

...In What Attire j

by Tina Brownley : : :

As we focus this year on To What Intent we have Emerged,
it is also interesting to consider in What Attire we should be
arrayed to pile out and meet the challenges. Last year Rep.
Council's RC - 36 amended the Dress Policy in three ways,
making it (1) not acceptable for students to go barefoot on
campus, (2) permissable for students to enter the Library
after 9:30 for a period of five minutes to check out books,
and (3) permissable to ride to drive-in restaurants in sports
clothes. The first proviso eliminated any possibilities that
hookworm could be contracted from the Agnes Scott grounds,
the third legalized a very prevalent abuse, and the second
showed perhaps a partial acceptance of the idea that develop-
ment of the interior is more vital than adornment of the ex-
terior.

Students attend Agnes Scott for a myriad of personal rea-
sons, but the catalogue states emphatically in the section on
Purpose that "A commitment to the liberal arts program,
insistence upon quality in education, and emphasis on the de-
velopment of Christian character are foundation principles
oT the College." Thus because we are here ostensibly for our
minds and our souls, rules and policies should seemingly be
based on the supposition that students attend this college for

With the scripts, songs and
people in this production, it
just has to be good." Of course,
director Sandra Earley is quite
busy tying everything together
and coordinating nightly prac-
tices.

Senior Class
Will Collect
Dry Cleaning

The familiar Monday and
Thursday night bellow of "dry-
cleaning" was heard throughout
the halls of Scott's dormitories
in the past week, signalling the
continuation of the senior dry-
cleaning project.

The Senior Class performs
this service for the campus in
connection with the Decatur
Cleaners and Hatters. Accord-
ing to Carol Thomas, the chair-
man for this year, Scott stu-
dents are charged standard
prices and the Senior Class
makes a profit of approximately
37%.

Each spring volunteers are
recruited from the rising sen-
iors to take on the responsibili-
ties of operating the project.
The resulting committee col-
lects clothing to be cleaned
from the dormitories at 6:30
every Monday and Thursday
nights and opens a center in the
basement of Main from 6:30 -
7:30 on the same nights where
students may claim their dry-
cleaning.

The committee for this year
includes Carol Thomas, chair-
man, Janet Hunter, assistant
chairman, Ann Hutton, Joy Grif-
fin, Judy Smoot, Judy Williams,
Nonnie Carr, Alice Roberts,
Betty Miller, Candy Walden, and
Virginia Russell. These sen-
iors receive in return for their
services a certain amount of
dry-cleaning privileges free of
charge.

Etiquette?

''It is impossible to imagine a true lady
walking on a city street. . . smSKTng a
cigarette. Good taste forbids it." So
speaks the final word in etiquette, Emilv
Post. y

Is it any less impossible to imagine
Agnes Scott smokers strolling around the
campus with lighted cigarettes, congregat-
ing in front of Buttrick for a quick smoke
before or after classes, or lighting a cig-
arette immediately after walking out "of a
dorm?

Few things have a less lady -like appear-
ance than these.

And the result of such conduct has an
even more unattractive effect: the campus
is littered with cigarette butts. A Rep.
Council discussion brought out many sug-
gestions for the litter problem ranging
from signs reminding smokers to dispose
of matches and ^cigarette remains to sand
filled "spittons" to be used as outdoor
ash trays.

But the "etiquette problem" still re-
mains. Should not plain old fashioned E mily
Post manners indicate to students that the
Smoking Policy depends on the good taste
of the student?

Post places final 1 're strictions of con-
sideration for the customs of the commun-

would do well to benefit from stressed
standards of etiquette on the part of smok-

OBSERVATIONS

Life in the newspaper business is wonder-
ful but only for those who truly love the pro-
fession. Otherwise it can be pure, unadul-
terated agony.

(At times it is agony even for those who
do love it.)

Everyone envisionages a newspaper re-
porter as leading a glamorous life, full of
movie stars, politicians, famous authors,
etc. Sometimes the excitement of meeting
such people does -exist.

But most of the time the profession de-
mands a hard, shape look at life, a keen in-
sight into the happenings of the world today,
and a vocabulary limited to five letter words
which will fit into surprisingly narrow head-
lines.

A newspaperman goes to school for many
years to learn the ethics, techniques, and
skills of good journalism, and then spends
the rest of his life writing for an audience
with an average sixth grade education. How
frustrating can you get?

The long hours put in at the office, the
grueling tasks of covering county board of
education meetings, county courthouse, and
police beats can be very rewarding, or they
can be dull and tedious. But one of the main
satisfactions of a journalist is to look up and
see someone putting that dime into a street
machine to read his efforts.

It can equally be deflating, however, to see
that person go into fits of temper or rage if
one period is misplaced or if he doesn't
agree with the way something is expressed.
The business is to report the news; but a

little prejudice can't help slipping in.

The managing editor on a daily or the editor
of a college paper has to decide just what is
newsworthy enough for the front page. Even
this decision can be a betrayal of prejudice,
but it must be made.

Then there is the matter of headlines. They
aren't necessarily intended to influence the
reader one way or the other, but they are often
interpretated as doing so. Every time this
editor hears someone criticize the way a
head is written, she wants to take them aside
and teach them a lesson in journalism. Let's
see you fit what you think should be said into
a 17 point count. Sometimes it just can't
be done.

All of this ranting is designed to get
across a point. Granted that newspapering
can be glamorous-like my luncheon with
Carol Burnette at the Regency this summer-
but it also has its moments of despair like
the week I worked until 6 p.m. three nights
in a row on a twelve page fall-fashion sup-
plement.

The PROFILE is no simple matter either,
but to me and to the other people who love
the business, all of the long hours, hard
work, and yes, even criticism, are worth it
just to see that newspaper roll off the press
and into your hands.

ILETTERS TO THE FDITOR |
Cox Bemoans Lack of Hippies

To The Editor;

There is something dras-
tically wrong at Agnes Scott:
THERE ARE NO HIPPIES. To-
day in the United States a signif-
icant number of young people
are dropping out of social, polit-
ical and religious structures.
This is collectively called the
hippie movement, although they
are dropping out for a variety
of reasons.

The hippie movement is a
major characteristic of the
United States today and parti-
cularly of young people today. I
think the lack of hippies on cam-
pus is the main distinction be-
tween Agnes Scott and the
World. The lack of a hippie
movement on campus shows that
there is something drastically
sick about Agnes Scott. By
Agnes Scott I include each stu-
dent, each faculty member, each
member of the administration,
and each member of the Board
of Trustees; in other words,
each person that is a member
of the community called Agnes
Scott at this minute.

I would like to offer a per-
sonal explanation of the hippie
movement. It is basically re-
bellion. The rebellion takes
various forms, from a personal
rejection of accepted structures
to active destruction of the
structures. The purpose of the
rebellion, no matter what the
form, is to distinguish the in-
dividual from the structure.

So a hip ie is always a unique
person: he is not just a product
of a given structure, but he
is a product of his own unique
environment and heredity. He
is a stronger individual than
the person who stays within the
given structure: his choices of
action include not only the pos-
sibilities contained in the struc-
ture, but all the possibilities of
which he is mentally and physi-
cally capable. Biologically this
means that, by the laws of the
survival of the fittest, the hippie
will eventually eliminate the
weaker individuals and the

result will be a stronger race
of men fathered by hippies.

There are no hippies on the
Agnes Scott campus. This
means that unless Scott
changes, it will be completely
eliminated by the law of
evolution. I don't think that
the problem is that there are
currently no hippies on campus;
the real problem is that there
is no possibility that a hippie
can exist at Agnes Scott.

Agnes Scott requires mem-
bers of the community to ident-
ify themselves completely with
the structure, from the accep-
tance of the honor system be-
fore arrival to the pressure of
overall student conformity
during four years. There is no
way that a hippie can exist as
Agnes Scott.

I realize that any time a
number of people live together

earley risings

by Sandra Earley

The wonderful thing about college is that a girl learns so much
more than just what she picks up in the classroom.
Woman can exist without

can

sleep. And, moreover, when a
col ege student has to, she
learns about new camaphlage
techniques like the cover-up
creams for the circles under
her eyes. She learns that sheets
don't necessarily have to be
washed every week; they simply
will not get dirty if one doesn't
sleep on them.

Sickness at college is often
a learning experience. First
the college student studies ba-
sic pharmacalogy which med-
icines in combination will keep
her awake to study for a French
quiz, which ones will dry up
her nose long enough for her
to take notes in class, and which
ones will cure that horrible
fever blister before Saturday
night.

If committed to the infirmary
with the privilege of having
visitors, she finds out which
of those girls present at the
opening of her last care pack-
age are really friends.

The dorms are still another
learning experience. Stoves
are not necessary. A resource-
ful girl can always jam an iron
between two tables and heat
her soup on the sole plate. The
sound of a typewriter clacking
into the early hours of the

morning can be muffled by set-
ting the typewriter on a folded
towel. There's a very good re-
pair shop in Decatur when the
space bar or keys start to stick.

Dorm-life breeds a real
sense of togetherness, of the
sisterhood of womankind. When
a girl has shared a bathroom
with all the other girls on the
hall....

College life teaches a girl
the value and use of two of the
most basic words in our lan-
guage. She learns to use these
words in expressions like:
"No, thanks, a Shirley Temple
will be just fine." "No, I really
wouldn't care to go up there to
see your collection of Jackie
Gleason records." "Yes, I
will be in Black Cat." "Yes,
I will write notes to everybody
in the Freshman Class." "Yes,
I will sign up fifth rush girls '
for the Rho Rho Rho house."
"No, I don't care anything about
Honor Roll or even Merit List."

What's the point of all this
rather obvious complaining?
Someday we may, like others,
remember our college days as
"those golden years." In a de-
cade or two whip out this copy
of the PROFILE and really
remember.

The "Chattahoochee" is a
new literary quarterly, which
was launched last fall by a group
of interested Atlanta writers. It
is the first independent literary
magazine in the South, in that
it is not affiliated with any col-
lege or university.

Its purpose is to achieve an
international scope and circu-
lation which will not limit its
material to any particularmode

Moore, says "we have no mis-

Dress Policy

(CONT. FROM P. 1)
an education -- and a substantial number of them actually
do.

No one has yet established any relationship between what one
wears and what one learns, and many students feel that requir-
ing people to wear dresses while in the library and in the dining
hall is a time-consuming interruption of academic endeavor.
Changing clothes becomes a way of life, and a very bothersome
one, for people like me who want their mental advancement
in physical comfort. More people would make greater use of
the library if stiffly starched specimens were not the order of
the day, and meals would be merely a part of life instead of
a production if one could get up directly from studying and go
right to the dining hall. I realize that this kind of thing is no
problem for those who study wearing the same outfit they put
on for class, but for most of us at one time or another it
doesn't work that way. The Dress Policy sets up invisible
barriers around segments of the campus.

The two major reasons given for the establishment of a
Dress Policy are (1) the appearance of the campus to visitors
and" (2) the ap earance of the campus to our fellow natives.
The first point can be dealt with by reiterating that we are here
for an education and not for the purpose of adorning the ASC
grounds or presenting a tableau of "Glamour on the U. S.
Campus."

As for the second point, all that one person can ask of his
fellows is that they be clean and that they be dressed so as not
to embarrass themselves or those around them. What one
LIKES to see others wear is personal preference: wear it your-
self and set a good example if you like it, but let others dress
as they will within the aforementioned limits. Most people
who don't fix themselves up down to the last swish of green
eye shadow are not careless of their appearance because
they don't care how they look, but because they wish to spend
their time in other ways.

What is needed here instead of a Dress Policy is student
responsibility and common sense. Social Council members
burdened with the duty of enforcing the system, constantly
embarrassed by having to call down students, would welcome
changes if the student body would respond reasonably and in-
telligently to a relaxation of rules. There are obviously places
where dresses should be worn, and hopefully students realize
this fact.

I have intentionally avoided the subject of classroom attire
because I do not know faculty opinion on this point over which
they would have the final voice. But the library study, and most
especially the meals, seem to me to be matters more con-
cerned with our basic personal existence. Anne Allen's opin-
ion, written when cards were passed around for questions
and comments at a Dress Policy Chapel last year, still re-
mains a scathingly true statement: 'The Dress Policy is ano-
ther example of misplaced emphasis in our supposedly aca-
demjc community. Where education is uppermost, neat and
appropriate attire is of secondary importance and should be
readily sacrificed when it becomes an impediment or even an
inconvenience to learning experience."

All of which goes to say what has been accepted for centuries
dress does not make a lady and certainly in no way makes a
scholar.

Pet Cat Inspires An
Agnes Scott Tradition

by Jane Morgan

Since this is the time of year that the Spirit of Black Cat
emerges from hibernation to welcome a new class of freshmen,
this reporter was assigned to find out the background behind
Agnes Scott's richest tradition.)

Black Cat started in 19 16
as a Stunt Night between the
freshman and sophomore
classes. It was suggested by the
college physician, Dr. Mary
Sweet, in order to eliminate
the rough hazing of freshmen by
sophomores, and it was named
Black Cat in honor of Dr.
Sweet's pet black cat.

Until 1950, each of the two
lower classes gave a skit that
were attended by the student
body and faculty. The class that
won the competition kept a
replica of a Black Cat for the
year; a ribbon with a bell was
placed around the cat's neck
with the graduation year of the
class on the ribbon.

In 1950, the Stunt Night was
changed to a Community Day
due to the bitter rivalry exist-
ing between the freshmen and
sophomore classes. The AGNES
SCOTT NEWS of September 27,
1950 explained this new Black
Cat as a day that "the cat can
be not only a symbol that a
new class has become a unit,
but that the entire college has
reknit itself into a working
whole."

The earliest community days
were similar totherecent ones,
but they were organized a little
differently. In the afternoon,
there were hockey games,
swimming meets, archery
matches, and faculty com-
petition followed by a picnic.
The program for the night in-
cluded a faculty skit and talent,
song competition between the*
three upper classes, and fresh-
men talent and song.

In 1S>51, the central part of
the evening program consisted
of a skit with minstrel cats,
and, in 1952, one all-inclusive
skit came into being.

The class mascots that give
Black Cat so much of its flavor
are a more recent tradition.
No one seems to know exactly
how or when they got started;
according to Miss Scandrett,

Overheard

The rush season is now over
and pledge Sunday is past at
Georgia Tech. As usual the
majority of Agnes Scott fresh-
men attended rush parties at
many of the fraternities.

In the following comments
on the rush season, the names
of the freshmen have been drop-
ped to protect the innocent, and
the names of the f rats have been
ommitted to protect the guilty.

"] learned a new song about
Agnes Scott."

"Great relief for the whole
week, but handbook classes
spoiled the whole thing. We ask-
ed what it was and smelled be-
fore we drank."

"I got beer spilled on me and
spent the rest of the night won-
dering how I'd explain it when I
got back to the dorm."

One conversation was over-
heard between a pair of fresh-
men. "I did see some be-
havior that shocked me." Re-
plied, "Which fraternity was
that? I want to go to it."

"I went to the party but

didn't have a real good time.
I just didn't like any of the
rushees. I did meet a guy
from Ft. Benning who kept wan-
dering through all night. He
was awful."

"I went to the party too

and I thought the boys were real
f unloving. I liked quite a few of
the ones I met. In fact one of
them called, and I'm going back
there this weekend, and I'm hap-
py about it. I had a grand time,"

Some people just have to be
different.

No Hippies

(CONT.

in a community there must be
a structure. I also think, how-
ever, that any structure should
contain the possibility for indiv-
idual rebellion completely out-
side of the structure. Maybe
people do not realize that this
possibility does not exist at
Scott, but I think they are un-
consciously aware of it. I think
this explains the stifling at-
mosphere of the campus, an
atmosphere resulting from
a mass of people living to-
gether, each a product of the
same structure and so the same.
Individuality is molded by the
structure until even uniqueness
itself becomes a cultivated
thing.

There is discontent criticism
of specific rules and the honor
system; dissatisfied action be-
cause of the size of the college
or because it's a girls' school;
questioning about specific pol-
icies. These things define
Agnes Scott: it is a small
Christian girls college. The
response to the discontent is
always to work through the
structure: student government
urges people to be concerned
with campus politics; C.A.
urges people to be concerned
with the world outside; A.A.
gives a spirit trophy. In other
words, the advice is always
to identify yourself more com-
pletely with the structure; get
involved.

There are only two choices:
To be completely involved or
to transfer. The campus is al-
ways unconsciously aware that
there is no possibility for action
outside of the structure. Each
student that remains is a whole
woman manufactured by Agnes
Scott; an assembly line of mass
produced whole women.

I think it would be possible for
a hippie to exist within a given
structure, within a small Chris-
tian girls college. The hippie
would be unique: a product of
his unique environment, includ-
ing the college, and heredity;
a complete individual. When a
structure does not contain the
possibility for any action out-
side of itself, it will produce

Mystery Will Unveil
Tonight at Black Cat

According to Sandra Earley,
Black Cat Chairman, Friday the
thirteenth is a very special
event this year. "Shrouded in
an aura of mystery," Black
Cat promises to hold some very
strange things.

Black Cat activities will be-
gin a 4 p.m. with the hockey
games. Played in alternate
quarters, the seniors are bat-
tling the juniors, and the sopho-
mores against the freshmen.
At 5:30 p.m. the campus picnic
will begin in the amphitheater.

by Diane Jones

The procession of the classes
starts at 6:45 p.m.

The highlight of the day's ac-
tivities is the Black Cat Song
Contest and Production. The
song contest starts at 7:00 p.
m. with the skit immediately
following.

The score for this year is
from a Broadway musical fairly
unfamiliar to the campus.
Chairman Sandra Earley says
the skit has a "lusty score."
The songs are "gutsy," easy
to scream at a Hub party.

Martin To Present
Recital on Monday

Raymond Martin, professor of music at Agnes Scott, will pre-
sent an organ recital in Gaines Chapel on October 16 at 8:15
P.M. The program will include selections from the work of well-
known composers from the past as well as a sampling of the
achievements of contemporary musicians.

Patsy May is chairman of the
script committee.

Cats this year are Claudia
Span, Patrice Cragg and Ethel
Ware Gilbert, seniors; Dottie
Duval, Sally Gillespie, and
Nicki Noel, juniors; Susan Ket-
chin, Martha McKay, and Pam
Taylor, sophomores; Jan
Roush, Mary Alice Isele, and
Ann Hortenstein, freshmen.
This year only the cats and the
principles Paula Swann and
Minnie Bob Mothes are in each
scene. Different supporting
actors appear in each scene.

The responsibilities of the
production are well-distributed
this year. Jane Morgan is stage
manager, Marsha Williams is
in charge of music. Judy De Witt
is choreographer. Terri
Langston is in charge of sets.
Bonnie Dings is responsible
for the programs, Polly Mat-
hews is working on props, and
Ann Abernathy is publicity
chairman.

lace M. Alston, the board heard
a detailed report by Clyde D.
Robbins, community planning
consultant, on the recent trends
of development within the Deca-
tur area in relation to the ex-
tension of Agnes Scott's prop-
erty. Robbins, a member of the
Development Staff at Georgia
Tech, was engaged to study the
surroundings in which thecam-
pus is situated and make rec-
ommendations regarding the
purchasing of grounds.

He pointed out the expanding
city and government area to
the west of the campus and the
transitional nature of the res-
idential section to the south.
Specific proposals which Rob-
bins made will be the subject
of a future story by the PRO-
FILE.

Also reporting to the board
was C. Benton Kline, Dean of
the Faculty, who gave theback-
ground and functions of the stu-
dent-faculty curriculum and

education committees. Kline
outlined the various concerns of
the co-curricular committee,
including course requirements
and evaluations and the pro-
gramming of majors and min-
ors.

He defined education com-
mittee in terms of its concern
with the academic affairs of
the college. Three results of
this committee's action, Kline
pointed out, are the pass-fail
system for juniors and seniors,
revisions of registration pro-
cedure and the new concentra-
tion on academics for the fresh-
man orientation program.

The present committee to
study the possibilities of dis-
pensing with Saturday classes
is an outgrowth of the educa-
tion committee which appointed
its members: Geraldine Mer-
oney, Chloe Steele, William Joe
Frierson, M. Kathryn Glick, and
Miriam Drucker.

Committee Features
Chapels onMedecine

The Agnes Scott Chapel Com-
mittee, headed by Mary Vir-
ginia Allen, associate professor
of French, will sponsor a ser-
ies of lectures on medical prob-
lems relevant to young people
on college campuses, during the
week of October 17-20.

Tuesday, October 17, Dr.
Harry Williams of the Depart-
ment of Pharmacology at the
Emory University School of
Medicine will speak on "L.S.D.
and Marijuana."

Wednesday, October 18, Dr.
M. Virginia Tuggle, Decatur

specialist in internal medicine
and cardiology, will talk about
"Stress." Q~. Tuggle is a
graduate of ASC in the class of
'44 and is the personal physi-
cian of several members of the
faculty.

Freshmen,

Sponsors
Meet Monday

Monday, October 16, the
freshmen will meet their alum-
nae sponsors. The alumnae,
who are. assigned to roommates
will meet their sponsorees in
the dorm lobbies at 10:30 that
morning.

For the last four years Agnes
Scott freshmen have had a
chance to meet alumnae, go into
Atlanta homes, and see some of
Atlanta. Alumnae sponsors do
not stand "in loco parentis:"
they are "friends to the fresh-
man." The underlying purpose
for the Alumnae is to help them
understand how Scott is today
and how it is changing.

Alumnae sponsors and their
freshmen are not just thrown to-
gether by chance. Mollie Mer-
ick and Mrs. Barbara Pendleton
try to match the girls and their
sponsors. The freshmen and
the sponsors will have each
others names before they meet
Monday.

Among the classical organ
pieces to be performed afe
Handel's "Organ Concerto II in
B Rat," J.S. Bach's "Prelude
and Fugue in C Minor," the
"Sonata II in A Major" by Felix
Mendelssohn, and the "Choral-
Preludes" of George Phillip
Telemann.

Of the modern composers
Martin will play 'The Nativity
of Our Lord" by Olivier Mes-
siaen, a Frenchman whose in-
ventive style is considered
comparable in quality to that
of Debussy. Another highlight of
the program will be the "Pas-
sacaglia for Timpani and Or-
gan" by Hank Badings who re-
sides at the present in Holland.

This piece has been performed
only once before in this area
when Martin and Russell
Moore, tympanist and a pro-
fessor at Georgia State College,
played it for a music teachers'
convention in May, 1966.

Moore will assist once more
in the approaching recital. He
is also a member of the Atlan-
ta Symphony and performs with
a combo at a local nightclub.

Blackfriars Plans
Fall 'Blood Wedding

Blackfriars, Agnes Scott's theatrical society, will produce
the modern , Spanish tragedy, "Blood Wedding" by Federico
Garcia Lorca, during the week-end of November 16, 17 and 18 t

The cast, chosen last week,
includes Joanna Reed as the
Mother, Hope Gazes as the
Bride, Cathi Ford as Leonar-
do's Wife, Vicki Hutcheson as
the Neighbor Woman, Beth Her-
ring as the Bride's Servant,
Martha Eddins as the Mother-
in-law, Lennard Smith, Janet
Hunter, and Carol Thomas as
Girls. Featured are Carol Ann
McKenzie as the Moon, and
Marilyn Wooten as the Beggar
Woman (Death). The male roles
have not yet been cast.

"Blood Wedding," written in
1933, is a tragedy with a mod-
ern tone, but the theme it por-
trays is one of ancient ori-
gin: a gentleman must pre-
serve at all costs the honor
of his family's name. The sim-
plicity of the play adds to its

artistic appeal, and there is
great opportunity for the use
of choreography and dance to
enhance the rural simplicity,
coupled with the eerie strange-
ness of the atmosphere.

Agnes Scott's intermediate
dance class, under the direction
of Caroline Pyrum, will per-
form both as friends of the
families and as other charac-
ters in the play.

The fact that "Blood Wed-
ding" is a modern classic and
that it offers many excellent
parts for women are two im-
portant reasons it was chosen.
The mother of the bridegroom
is the dominant female role,
followed by the bride, the wife
of Leonardo, the mother-in-
law, and numerous servants
and townspeople.

DR. M. VIRGINIA TUGGLE

To Speak In Convocation

Thursday, October 19, Ken-
neth P. Latimer of the Na-
tional Communicable Disease
Center in Atlanta, will speak
on "Venereal Disease."

Friday, October 20, "Sui-
cide Prevention" will be the
subject of the talk by Dr. Sid-
ney Isenberg, Atlanta psychia-
trist.

The chapel committee, com-
posed of seven faculty members
and six students, plans two other
lecture series. The week of
February 13-16 will concern
art in Atlanta. Major league
sports will be the topic for the
week of April 23-26.

Editorials Get

Things Done

EDITOR'S NOTE: In view of the fact that this week is National
Newspaper Week, the PROFILE is publishing a guest editorial,
written by Eugen Patterson, Pultizer Prize winning editor of
the Atlanta CONSTITUTION.

Newspaper editorials get things done. At
times, I've wondered what. By now, I think
I know.

They get people to think.

They may think the editor is an idiot.
The Atlanta Constitution is rich with read-
ers who hold that opinion. In order to ar-
rive at it, however, they must (1) read his
unsatisfactory argument, and then (2) justify
their own. This is a painful experience on
both counts, which m.ay account for the sore-
ness they exhibit in letters to the editor. But
they have had to think about the subject.

And the longer I live the more I believe
the value of an editorial is not so much to
carry the day, to convince everybody, or to
comfort the good and convert the evil.

To achieve those goals the average editor
would have to be a lot smarter than he is.

The true and lasting value lies in getting
people to think for themselves, to talk and
to argue, and finally to decide whatever
they want to decide. The process of thought
may have adjusted their decision some small
distance toward the side of right, wherever
that is.

"I guess a man's job," William Percy's
father told him, "is to make the world a
better place to live in, so far as he is able--
always remembering the results will be in-
finitesimal--and to attend to his own soul."

An editorial is, of itself, no better than the
incentive it provides the reader to attend to
his own soul, I think. Whether the editorial
opinion itself is accepted is secondary to that.
The people will find their own way when they
think.

The race issue in the South was editorially
muffled for many years. The primary contri-
bution of editors like Hodding Carter and
Ralph McGill and Lenoir Chambers lay not so
much in convincing all Southerners that seg-
regation was wrong; they obviously failed, had
that been their purpose. Primarily, they en-
couraged people to talk about it -- to break
the muffling silence, to stop fearing dis-
cussion of it, to speak the unspeakable and
think the unthinkable, and to realize it was a
subject they could argue.

This breaking of silent fear, this beginning
of talking and thinking, is the goal an editor
shoots for in a frozen situation where minds
have ceased to question. The editorial doesn't
have ^o be right. But it does get things done.

It gets the people to think.

'^Rep Council Speaks :

Board to Board..
Students-Trustees

by Tina Bender

Thursday evening, October 5, Representative Council met with
the Board of Trustees for dinner in the hope of establishing some
communication between the two boards and discussing with them
the major concerns of the student body.

At the meeting Tuesday, Oct. 3, it was suggested that Rep
Council discuss with the Trustees such things as the changing
role of the small college, the financial problems of privately-
owned schools, and the state of the Agnes Scott Honor System.

The topic which seemed to excite the most student interest,
however, and that which seemed to be most in need of discussion-
was the school's somewhat nebulous Christian commitment, in-
cluding specifically, the Faculty Hiring Policy. It was felt that
the student body was not altogether sure of the implications of
the policy and was interested in hearing the opinions of the
Trustees individually.

The response to our questions on this topic was indeed varied.
They ranged from the opinion of the man with whom I was talk-
ing, who said that it did not matter to him, personally, if a faculty
member were Christian or not, to the expression of another man
who felt that Agnes Scott was already quite liberal in that this is
a Christian school, rather than Presbyterian.

Rep Council did not expect to form any conclusions from the
matters discussed, but was more concerned simply with hear-
ing what the Trustees had to say and making them aware of what
the students want. I think more was accomplished in the area of
awareness, for at least at my table, the students did most of the
talking. I think that the Trustees were somewhat surprised that
there is so much concern about such matters as the school's
Christian commitment. Those with whom I spoke seemed eager to
hear our opinions, but also seemed to feel put on the defensive.
This was certainly not our intent.

I think perhaps we could have shared more if one student had
spoken to one Trustee, rather than as two groups, board to board.
This meeting, however, was a major step in improving the com-
munication between the students and the Trustees, and I hope
that discussion with them will continue for the benefit of both
groups.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Dear Editor:

I think that I shall never see
A letter with which I more

aerree

Than that of Jane Cox.

To read that one can really be

Unique the thought just

thrills me

Into speechlessness.
Momentarily.

I vote for making the scene,
Not just being seen
And not heard.
%

Why act like conformity plus-
Or worse - just groan and al-
ways fuss?

Why don't we have a little fun?
Live it up

Or down, whicnever the case
may be.
But live.

Want to take a trip out of Dulls-
ville?
Well, then

Stop tripping over every minis-
cule rule

Start getting something out of
school.

Let's indulge ourselves -

Or it's just another day shot

to hell

And you're sitting there saying
"What's the answer."

Let's cut out the quiet mouse bit
Face the fact, it doesn't fit
This psychedelic world.

I say

Hip hip hooray
For hippies
At ASC.

Blossom forth

Flower children

The South will rise again.

Name Withheld

EDITOR'S NOTE: The PRO-
FILE welcomes all letters to
the editor, but wishes to point
out that the identity of the
writer must be known to the
editor. The name can be with-
held from publication.

To The Editor:

The October 6 letter to the
editor concerning the lack of
hippie freedom at ASC seems
to have overlooked a vital point.
Freedom does include the abil-
ity to think for oneself. Civi-
lization, however, requires
some sort of structure. The
prospect of each individual's
thinking for himself and acting
without regard for others is to
me most unpleasant.

Hippies may be free; but,
frankly, I want no part of their
freedom. God gave me a brain
not so that I can judge the world
as evil and entirely unworthy
of my attentions, but so that I
can discern the good as well as
the evil, then help to preserve
the one and correct the other.
I have no desire for isolation
and withdrawal. Progress nec-
essitates involvement.

Sincerely,
Betsy Fuller

TO THE EDITOR:

James Robinson of NBC turned
out to be neither a James Reston
nor a Walter Cronkite, despite
some rather "heady" advance
billing.

He was supposed to speak on
China's Cultural Revolution.
Robinson gave a five minute his-
tory of China's foreign relations
(sometimes inaccurate) and was
quick to point out he had spoken
with Chou En-lai. Beyond that, his
listeners gleaned little. No in-
formation was offerred on the
size of Mao's opposition, its
political resources, the degree

of China it controlled or con-
tested effectively. In short, the
listener is still in the dark as to
the patterns and prospects of the
domestic turmoil underway. The
impression has been conveyed
distinctly that NBC has even
less information on what's going
on in China than the State De-
partment unfortunate as that
may be.

Of greater importance is Rob-
inson's conclusion regarding
China's morass namely, that
communism in general is in re-
treat. Despite the near-anarachy
that sources out of Hong Kong
present to be the situation in
China, communism has done
more for China in terms of eco-
nomic development than democ-
racy has ever done for India.
And thus communism still com-
mands support in China and of-
fers an appealing alternative for
the modernizing states in Asia
and Africa. Moreover, com-
munism has lost none of its
control over Russia and East
Europe, even if communism as
a way of life has lost much of
its expansionist aims and revo-
lutionary dynamism. Measured
in terms of party-state control,
communism has declined very
little. Even in China it is not
yet clear the extent to which
the party's position has been
undermined.

Perhaps Robinson spoke on
Viet Nam so much because he
had so little to say about China.
In any event, he was more ac-
curate with regard to such mat-
ters as the origins of the strife
there. But most of what he said
was hardly new. Senator Ful-
bright has been saying and pub-
lishing the criticisms that Rob-
inson discussed for the past
couple of years. Robinson was
correct in saying that Ho Chi-
minh is more a Vietnamese
nationalist than a front for Chi-
nese influence, and he is correct
in saying that the conflict on
that peninsular after the French

Adds Two Members

Miss Mary Carolyn By rum, new
Agnes Scott from the University
her undergraduate and graduate
Connecticut State College.

She hopes to be able to teach
her students '(What goes into
dance, what dance is all about,
how to use their bodies and
overcome whatever awkward-
ness they might have to attain
a certain self confidence." She
finds that with the smallness
of Agnes Scott goes a more in-
tense interest and greater en-
thusiasm on the part of the
students. Here there is more
time and more concern for the

(CONT. FROM P. 2)

left was primarily a domestic
civil war until the United States
intervened in support of the mil-
itary junta in the south. But this
is not new to many of us. And
there was a lack of knowledge
on a number of points, such as
why we did intervene (because
then- Vice President Johnson re-
ported to President Kennedy that
there was socio-politico infra-
structure in the south that would
facilitate rapid and decisive in-
tervention, and because Kennedy
wanted to make a show of strength
somewhere in the world to im-
press Khruschev after Kennedy's
poor showing vis-a-vis Mr. K.
in Vienna).

Furthermore, Robinson show-
ed the tendency to rely on glib
over-simplifications and over-
generalizations that only the best
of commentators such as
Reston avoid. It is not enough,
when asked what policy to take
now with regard to a settlement
in Viet Nam, to reply smugly that
I (read Robinson) would never
have taken the policy of inter-
vention in the first place. This
does nothing to answer the major
moral issue of withdrawal: What
is to be done about the millions

of South Vietnamese who have
cooperated with the United States
and have trusted the United States
with their security.

Robinson's main contribution
was in stimulating the students
to think about United States policy
in Southeast Asia and the Far
East for themselves. Arid the
Agnes Scott community can be
satisfied that its students did
challenge the speaker on a num-
ber of points rather than follow
his thesis like a flock of sheep.
If there was a tendency to pre-
sent Robinson as an omniscient
neo-Ghengis Kahn, there was also
a distinct tendency on the part of
the students to engage in a con-
troversial dialogue. This is to be
commended for a student body
whose spectrum of political opin-
ion ranges all the way from the
Young (southern) Democrats to
the Young Conservatives (that's
like choosing between Senators
Byrd and Eastland). The process
of education frequently starts
with a cl?sh of-opinions.

goes a greater feeling of re-
sponsibility toward them.

came head of the physical edu-
cation department in a large
high school.

Miss Cox returned to school
to get her masters at the Uni-
versity of North Carolina. On
April 1st last year Miss Cox
left. U.N.C. to come to A.S.C.
for her interview with Dean
Kline who awaited her in an
office filled with balloons, ant
tracks and paper ducks. She
had thought that she would like
to teach at a small college
and was impressed with the
"spirit and good humor" that
she found at Scott. Miss Cox
also feels that the lack of a
major's program in physical
education here leads to a wider
spread and more general inter-
est in what the department has
to offer.

Robinson Lectures
On Southeast Asia

by Elizabeth Crum

James Robinson, the National Broadcasting Company's Washington
correspondent, spoke at Agnes Scott October 5 on "China's Continuing

Revolution.

In his lecture, Robinson stated
that China's revolution is both
within and without. In recent
years Mao Tse-tung's com-
munistic ideals and propaganda
have begun to lose their magical
grip on the Chinese people. Mao's
"faithful" followers have been
awakened by education and are
turning more and more to capi-
talistic practices. In fact, Rob-
inson said this trend away from
Mao's ideals and toward capi-
talism instigated the recent
purges in the Red Chinese
government.

Not only is Mao having trouble
within his own communist party,
but also with the Russian com-
munist party over the Manchurian
border, and with India over the
north eastern border. The United
States, by isolating China and
putting her in ignorance , has
caused more trouble for her.
First, we do not diplomatically
recognize the Red Chinese gov-
ernment. We do not trade with
her; we veto her membership
into the United Nations. Robin-
son concluded that the more iso-

lated and ignorant China is, the
more dangerous she is.

Robinson was quick to point
out with revolutions and civil
wars of her own, China has no
wish to involve herself in the
war in Vietnam. He said the
United States main reason for
being in Vietnam is to "counter
and contain" communism. Since
Communist China is not trying
to encrouch on anyone, the United
States has no business being in
Viet Nam. Robinson remarked
that neither the North or South
Vietnames wanted or asked for
our help in the first place. As
far as Robinson is concerned,
the U.S. should permanently stop
her bombing in North Vietnam
as a peace gesture.

As for South Vietnam's present
government, Robinson felt it was
elected as fairly as possible
under the existing circum-
stances. He went on to say that
we are fighting to defend democ-
racy, but ironically the South
Vietnamese governments we have
backed are totalitarian.

Exec Council '2 7

Forty years ago life on the Agnes Scott campus was different
in many ways from the life to which we are accustomed. Execu-
tive Council minutes from the year 1927 reveal that "It was
decided to ask students once again to play their victrolas with
soft needles and to keep the doors shut. If this is not successful
a rule will be made limiting the use of victrolas to certain '

hours."

The Executive Committee dis-
cussed limiting the use of vic-
trolas to the time between 5 and
6 P.M. Later "the students re-
quested that they be allowed to
play victrolas from 4:30-7:30
P.M., from 10:00-10:30 P.M.
and on Saturday afternoon until
lights out."

At this same meeting "A
change in the chaperonage rule
was requested in order to keep
girls from signing out to a
home in Decatur or Atlanta,
and merely going by there on
their way to some other place
or entertainment which they
could not go to directly from the
college."

However, students of that
time were concerned with many

of the same problems which
concern us today. Among these
was the effective operation of
the student government. The
Handbook Committee "found
frequent references to (an)
Agreement between Faculty and
Students on which the powers of
Student Government (were)
based." But they could not find
this agreement.

They planned to try to find the
"charter" in the Faculty
minutes and to request a
restatement of it in case it
could not be found. The stu-
dents felt that without knowl-
edge of this agreement the op-
eration of Student Government
"would be decidedly in-
efficiently j 0 Callaway

ANN TEAT (L) AND PATRICIA STRINGER REMEMBER
Their Year in France During the 1966-1967 School Term

Stringer And Teat
Report On France

Ready for an experiment in international living? Ann Teat
and Pat Stringer, class of '68, are back from their junior year
abroad with enthusiastic reports of an enlightening year.

younger French generation have
taken an anti-Vietnam stand as
a cause, somewhat a fad. Es-

Ann was at the University
of Paris with the Sweetbriar
program. Pat was in Lyon
studying with the University of
North Carolina Year-Lyon pro-
gram. Both lived with French
families.

Having the whole city as a
sort of university gave Ann and
Pat a chance for a self- instruc-
ted course in diplomatic rela-
tions. American students
abroad are very much on their
own. Ann felt that with this
freedom also came a sense of
responsibility as an American.
She said that one of her best
experiences was just meeting
people, Americans as well as
French.

Pat said questions about the
Vietnam policy^ racial pro-
blems frequently appear in con-
versations. She feels the

pecially in the South, Arab pre-
judices appear among the
French as do racial problems
in the States.

Both Ann and Pat think the
French students are more ser-
ious-minded about their stu-
dies. Only a small per cent of
the college age people in France
attend college. Regulations for
entering college are stiffer
there than in the United States.
Both felt the pressure is great-
er there because only one ex-
aminiation is given for a course.
It is a ten minute oral exam.
That determines the grade for
the course. Ann and Pat thought
the year a wonderful experience
and recommend a year abroad
for non-language majors also.

Political Polls Confusing

By MICHAEL ROSENHOUSE
The Collegiate Press Service
News Item: Princeton,
N.J. Richard M. Nixon is the
first choice of Republican
county chairmen for their
party's 1968 presidential nom-
ination."

This conclusion was induced
from a series of interviews.
Who knows? It could be wrong.
But people go for it; and if
Richard Nixon was not his
county chairmen's first choice
the day before this item ap-
peared, he probably is now.

The poll is a handy thing. It
can find a majority and then
turn it into a bandwagon.

Aware that the poll, with the
help of the press and the com-
puter, is fast becoming an im-
portant weapon in the arsenal
of modern democracy, we ar-
ranged an interview with the
director of the biggest pro-
fessional polling organization
in the country.

We met George Runaway at
Mory's for lunch the other day.

"Well, Mr. Runaway, how
are things going with the Run-
away poll?"

"Pretty good, actually. We
were right in '60, right in '64,
and we'll be right again in '68."

''You mean you can tell
us right now who's going to be
the winner in 1968?'

"Well, not exactly, it's too
early for that yet. But we have
a pretty good idea of how the
candidates and issues are
shaping up."

"Yes?"

"All we can say now with
certainty is that it'll be a con-
fusing year. In fact, our re-
sults are so confusing that we
haven't printed them yet."

'Take Vietnam, for instance.
Last month we sent our Run-
away pollsters all over the
country asking *What do you
think of our present Vietnam
policy? Are you for it, against
it, or what?' The percentage
replies we got dumbfounded
even our computers."

"Yes?" He handed us a slip
of paper with the results:

For 82 per cent; Against
--82 per cent; What? 64
per cent;

"No wonder you didn't print
them."

"People are confused and
there seems to be a welling
up of cultural despair."

"How do you mean, sir?"
"Well, we've got that docu-
mented too. You see, every-
body knows LBJ is only 45
per cent popular and Richard
Nixon is the favorite of the
GOP professionals."

"Yes "

"But here's the catch
another one we couldn't print.
We asked registered Republi-
cans who they would like to see
as Nixon's running mate."

"Yes?"

"Here is what we got." He
handed us another slip of paper:

Romney 10 per cent; Percy
5 per cent; Rockeffeller
5 per cent; Goldwater 15 per
cent; Reagan 15 per cent;
Barbara Garson 50 percent.

'This is indeed alarming,
Mr. Runaway. Can you imagine
Barbara Garson as vice-pres-
ident?"

"Yes, it's quite distressing.
That's one of the reasons we
haven't released the figures.
Another is that Qwr pollsters
were unanimously -suspicious
that their interviewees were
taking CIA subsidies," he said
as he sipped his coffee.

"We've found that the fashion
industry gives LBJ a resound-
ing 94 per cent 'no* because of
his baggy pants. The guns are
a strong 96 per cent in favor,
the butters only four per cent,

while the aircraft industries
support him 98 per cent solid.
The shoe industry, reporting
an increase in sales of cowboy
boots, is behind the President
64 per cent, up 21 points from
four years ago; and so on."

"Do you study any groups
besides economic ones? Ethnic
groups, for instance?"

"Yes, of course. Here the
situation is confusing, though.
Sixty-four per cent of the Jews
think he has chutzpah but
nobody knows whether this is
good or bad; among Negroes,
only 37 per cent think LBJ has
soul; and only 25 per cent
of the WASPs think the Presi-
dent has cool. Catholics, we
have noticed, tend to interpret
the credibility gap in terms
of papal bull; they are 58 per
cent favorable."

'This is all very interest-
ing, Mr. Runaway. Just one
more question: What do you see
as the penultimate achievement
in poll-taking?"

He moved in close and
whispered in my ear: "We've
found that three-fourths of the
population would just as soon
go Runaway and leave the voting
to us."

utor to the Yale DAILY NEWS.)

Other tentative plans include
a lecture on astronomy and as-
trology. The series will be con-
cluded November 30 with a panel
discussion to tie the period to-
gether. On the panel will be
Miss Meroney, Mrs. Pepper-
dene, Mrs. Pepe, and Mr. Kline.
There will be a time for student
questions.

Mary Hart, who is in charge
of this seminar, stated that the
purpose is to bring together all
aspects of this period of history
which is often "erroneously"
thought of as the Dark Ages.
She added that this particular
time period was chosen because
of its vitality, its present signi-
ficance, and the common mis-
conceptions of it. It was also
chosen because Agnes Scott has
a large number of faculty mem-
bers working in this field.

Students Approve
Budget Resolution

At a student government meeting Friday, October 13, a Re-
solution Regarding Budget Committee was passed unanimously.
This resolution, which was presented by student government
president Alice Zollicoffer and treasurer Mary Chapman, gives
Representative Council the right to approve the budget each
quarter without having to present it to the student body.

Under the new system, Arti-

cle VII, Section 1, D, 3 of the
Constitution of the Student Gov-
ernment Association, regarding
the treasurer, now states that
she shall have the duty to "pre-
pare the student budget in con-
sultation with the Budget Com-
mittee and to present it to the
Representative Council and the
student body for approval."

The resolution was first dis-
cussed at the fall leadership
retreat held at Camp Calvin.
It was felt that student budget
committee carefully considers
the allotment of the funds for
each organization in order to
insure fair distribution, and
since Representative Council is
representative of student opin-
ion, the power should belong to
the Council.

Discussion at the meeting
pointed out the fact that students
will be informed of the time
at which the budget will be
voted upon in Rep. Council and
will be invited to attend
the meeting.

It was also emphasized that,
if at any time, students wish to
change the procedure now set
up, a petition of 50 students
c an bring it to the attention of the
entire student body for a vote.

Mary Chapman believes that
the new procedure will be much
superior to the old one because
"there's no point in the whole
student body's coming to vote on

the budget since the student body
at large doesn't know how much
each organization needs." She
went out to say that she believes
that new system will be "much
more efficient," but she was
quick to point out that "peti-
tions of opposition will always
be welcomed if they have some
basis."

Poet Speaks
Thursday

Robert Wallace will be the
guest lecturer on campus Octo-
ber 26. Wallace, an associate
Professor of English at Wes-
tern Reserve University, has
become known in the last few
years for his* poetry. He has
published three books of his
works and has new one coming
out late this year. His poems
have appeared in numerous
magazines and quarterlies.

Wallace received his A.B.
at Harvard Summa Cum Laude
and was a Woodrow Wilson Fel-
low and Fulbright Scho'.ar to
St. Catherine's College. He re-
ceived his B.A. at Cambridge
in 1955 and his M.A. there in
1959. He has taught at Bryn
Mawr, Sweetbriar, Vassar, and
has been at Western Reserve
University since 1965.

Donaldson, Professor of Eng-
lish, Columbia University, will
lecture here at Agnes Scott.
He is a noted medievalist and
Chaucer expert. It is hoped that
the fall seminar will prepare
students to ask thoughtful, vital
questions and will enable them
to receive added benefits from
his lecture.

Judy Williams believes that
spreading the lectures out rath-
er than having an intensive
week-long seminar will encour-
age greater student participa-
tion in areas of attendnace and
personal preparation. Focus
on a particular period is anoth-
er innovation. Judy thinks that
both approaches will be effec-
tive, and points out that if
they are co-curriculum com-
mittee plans to have other semi-
nars of the same kind.

NSA Report

Vietnam

Judging Today For Deck It

This dorm room is decked and ready to be judged between
1:30 and 3:30 today. Is your room ready? Vicki Justice, in
charge of this year's Deck Your Dorm, says that the judging
will be based mostly on originality, but also on neatness.
The judges include Mrs. Dorothy Turner, Mrs. David Forsythe,
Miss Mary Ann Beaver, William Hannah, Mrs, Edward Johnson,
Mrs. Henry Robinson, Mrs. Mildred Love Petty, Mrs. Diane
Gilchrist. Day student judges are Peggy Johnston, Harriet
Whitley, Phyllis Parker, Donna Brown, Rebecca Sickle, Re-
becca Allen, Libba Goud, and Susan Connell.

There was a diversity of stu-
dent opinion represented at the
Congress of National Student
Association held this summer.
Every possible view on the left
side of the political spectrum
was well presented. From the
beginning delegates began to
form caucuses moderate, li-
beral and radical.

The Vietnam question was one
in which the division of the dele-
gates on political questions was
very evident. Three separate
resolutions were presented to
the delegates. Because a con-
sensus could not be obtained,
the resolution passed by last
year's Congress remained in
effect.

The official stand of USNSA
can best be understood by con-
sidering the drafts presented to
delegates this year, and ex-
amining the reasons why the
previous stand was more ac-
ceptable than any of the new
proposals.

The moderate proposal sup-
ported the presence of the U. S.
in Vietnam "until such time as
the South Vietnamese govern-
ment gains sufficient stability
and popular support to provide
for its own defense."

The declaration recognized
"the dual nature of America's
role in South Vietnam; the im-
portance of both military and
political factors must be fully
appreciated.. .Thus, political
reform cannot proceed in the
absence of military security,
and without reform the mili-
tary struggle is ultimately
doomed to defeat."

The U. S. was criticized for
having failed to recognize the
needs and desires of the people
for self-determination in South
Vietnam. The U. S. govern-
ment had "too often failed to
identify with the legitimate as-
pirations of emerging peoples
for economic advancement and
political self-control."

This was the proposal that the
majority of Agnes students in-

Divides Students

by Cheryl Bruce

dicated that they would support
when a questionnaire was dis-
tributed in the spring. An ex-
tremely small proportion of the
delegates favored this draft at
the Congress.

The proposal which received
the most support and was very
nearly accepted was that of the
liberals. The main provision
in the draft declared that "how-

Quisquiliae Temere

Student Distrust

by Tina Brownley

A subtly undermining attitude which becomes apparent in some
situations here on the Agnes Scott campus is that the student must
be protected from himself. If thts idea were confined mainly to
the administration or to the faculty, the student body could hope-
fully by good, reasonable, and sensible conduct show that they
are to be trusted with more responsibility. But this attitude,
though it crops up occasionally in these quarters, is not chiefly
centered in the upper echelons.

The administration, especially last year in such cases as the
procedural changes in the apartment policy, showed a willing-
ness to give students more freedom in the hope that they would
responsibly exercise this freedom. And the faculty shows a truly
gratifying faith in and respect for the students.

It seems that it is the students themselves who do not essen-
tially trust their peers to run by themselves their own personal,
individual lives. This attitude is markedly apparent when change
is being discussed. At Retreat the tired old reiteration "But
if we do this people will take ADVANTAGE of it'' was far too
often heard. Echoes of the statement are still very much in
evidence at various board meetings.

In an environment where my books are left lying in a smoker,
where my pocketbook is dropped carelessly on a dining room
table, where my room is open at all times in an enviroment
where, in effect, all my wordly possessions, and in some instanc-
es my mental and intellectual resources, are readily accessible
and available to my fellow students, I find it rather hard, or at
the very least totally incongruous, to distrust them. We are
responsible to the other members of our community; can we not
then be trusted by these to be responsible towards ourselves?

It is j ridiculous to assert that all members of this student
body would exercise mature judgment and would act responsibility
if given more privileges. When an announced Student Government
Open Forum where a quorum is needed nets a grand total of 56
people (much less than 10% of the student body), it is painfully
obvious that self-governing responsibilities are not at certain
times taken seriously. But I still feel that if we live as if we
believed that all around us can be trusted, we should act as if they
can be trusted.

There are always people who take advantage of policies and
privileges, no matter how stringent or how lenient the rules may
be. But should the majority be penalized and denied opportunities
for growth because of a small minority? It is the students who
must learn to trust their fellow students and not to immediately

OBSERVATIONS

Student Unconcern
Apparent At ASC

"We hope that this year Agnes Scott will
have an active studentgovernmento"

This, a line from last weekend's Black
Cat production, is a very meaningful state-
ment at this time in Agnes Scott's life 0
The leaders of student government are en-
thusiastic, but it appears that the mem-
bers of the association are not quite so
willing to express any interest.

In the Foreword to this year's Agnes
Scott Handbook, Alice Zollicoffer states,
"As a student at Agnes Scott, you are
automatically a member of the Student
Government Association. To maintain an ef-
fective self-governing organization, your
support and suggestions are both needed and
desired. "

As most students (we hope) know, the
Thursday chapel period is set aside each
week for student government programs or
business. Last week an important resolu-
tion concerning student budget was to be
voted on at that meeting. A quorum of 191
students was required for the vote, but only
56 showed up, and many of them were
dragged in off the streets.

It is _sad that at a school such as Scott
you can't^et but 56 of 750 students to ex-
presV^ny interest in student government.
As a result of Thursday's fiasco, Zolly
and treasurer Mary Chapman were forced
to interrupt the faculty -student tea in the
Hub during chapel Friday to vote. This
time there was a quorum present.

One girl there was heard to remark,
"Well, I guess next time they need to vote,
they'll know to have a party."

If this is all the interest we can muster

in the business and progress of student
government, it is truly time for us to stop

and ask, "To What Intent?". But the

PROFILE at this time would, with Zolly ,

like to re-affirm her statement cTosing
the Foreword to the Handbook:

"We hope that new students will support
and strengthen our activities and organi-
zations and that returning students will
continue to exhibit the enthusiasm and vi-
tality that have led to an effective and suc-
cessful student government program."

Maybe next time we canthrowa party to
celebrate having a quorum. Come on stu-
dents -- EMERGE!

"Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote
The droghte of March hath perced to the
roote....

Than longen folk to goon on pilgrym ages....

The holy, blisful martir for to seke."

The above, for freshmen who have not yet
become acquainted with the wonderfulness
of Geoffrey Chaucer, is an extremely edited
version of the Prologue to the Canterbury
Tales. What you are about to read is a mod-
ern-day account of the Blue Ridge Tales.

It could well be said that when fall arrives
with its blue skies, warm temperatures, and
restless people "than longen folk to goon on
pilgrimages" the red and golden leaves "for
to seke." (Sincerest apologies to Mrs.
Pepperdene and to Chaucer).

Yes folks, here it is again. The time of year
for all city dwellers to make their annual trip
to the North Georgia mountains. So last
weekend the Aikman family Mother, Father,
Daughter, and Eli (car) took off on an ex-
pedition for points north. Each year we try
to take along someone who has not seen
the wonders before, and this year the con-
vert to our tree-lovers cult was Terri
Langston.

We set out around 9 o'clock Saturday morn-
ing and managed to arrive in the mountains
about the same time that everyone else from
the city did. After standing in line for a
few minutes at Blairsville, we sat down
and feasted at one of the most delicious lun-
ches we have ever enjoyed. I'm not sure
if it was all grown in North Georgia, but just
the fact that it was cooked there made it
taste better.

Our friendly mountain innkeeper then in-
formed us that the leaves would be at their

peak Wednesday and thus we were about five
days too early. We did not let this daunt
our adventuresome spirits, however, and
proceeded to stuff our slightly heavier bodies
back into Eli and set out again.

The prettiest part of our drive was that
between Blairsville and Blue Ridge. The
leaves, in spite of our pessimistic friend,
were absolutely beautiful. The scenery
was so idyllic, it made you just want to
pack up everything and move to the hills.

By the way, the people who live up there
seemed to have packed up all of their wares
and moved out to the highway. At almost
every driveway there were "natives" selling
everything homegrown from apple cider to
bell peppers. If any Scotties like these
things, the mountains are the place to go,
the buys are really good.

After coming down out of the mountains
through Jasper, Tate and Canton, we arrived
in Marietta expecting to re-enter metro-
politan civilization. Instead we just dis-
covered that there was a Shrine parade in
town and every main street was blocked
off. That's pretty hard to accomplish in a
town of 50,000 people. We made as rapid
an exit as possible and headed back to good
old ASC.

The amazing thing was that the leaves
in the tree outside Miss Scandrett's house
were just as brilliant as anything we had
seen in the mountains, but I'm sorry to say
that the steak in the dining hall didn't quite
measure up to the mountain food. Maybe
instead of seeking leaves, next year we'll
just admit that we are going "some delicious
food for to seke."

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR :

It is our feeling that Marion
Hinson and Betsy Fuller, as
shown in their letter to the edi-
tor of October 13, have misun-
derstood Jane Cox's letter. Al-
though we feel that JaneCox has
misused the term "Hippie",
we are still in agreement with
her underlying premises.

We feel that here on the Ag-
nes Scott campus there is a

distortion of values. Empha-
sis is placed on those things of
a superficial and irrelevant na-
ture. Minutia pervades, while
individuality is squelched. When
individuality is found on cam-
pus, it is cultivated for its
shock value, not as an honest
expression of self.

Freedom of thought does not
necessitate disregard for the
ideas of others, but gives the

individual a wider spectrum of
choices, not limiting him to the
patterns of thought and behavior
set up by society.

earley risings

A pint box of pink lemonada, ice cream simply will not go
through the crack between the window and screen of Room Five
of the Agnes Scott Infirmary.

However, after two weeks of practice, I have become quite
adroit at foiling the numerous idiosyncracies of infirmary rules
and policies. Being possessed of a mind that completely repress-
es any recollection of visiting hour times or other such trivia,
I have had to develop several unorthodox methods of getting to
see my roommate.

The easiest method of getting in is ro make friends with the
nurse so that she will let you slip in for a few minutes when you
run by on the way to lab, student aid, Black Cat practice, dinner,
etc. Some nurses are, however, unbefriendable and other tactics
must be employed.

There is the stand-outside-the-window-and-whisper method,
but upon application one finds that it is more often the stand-
outside-the-w i nd o w-and-f re e ze-one's-b a c k s i d e-wh i 1 e-
clawing-at-encroaching-spiderwebs method and as such rather
loses its charm.

Then there is the excuse method; one packs up a suitcase full
of the closest things at hand and runs down to the infirmary with
it. Once inside, one breathlessly tells the nurse that this is suit-
case full of vital objects the patient must have and you must
deliver it. The nurse then replies that she will be happy to take
it in to the patient for you, but you reply that the catch on this
suitcase is very odd and you are the only one who can operate
it. Then the nurse gets a little suspicious when the suitcase
promptly falls open spilling the raisins, boxes of Kleenex,
Ronald MacDonald puppets, etc. all over the floor.

Diversionary tactics will often work if one has an inventive
mind. One potential visitor occupies the nurse at the desk while
the other sneaks back to the patient's room. It does, however,
take an inventive mind. When one has to use the green spots of
paint from art lab on one's fingernails as the complaint to divert
the nurse, the nurse again gets a little suspicious as they flake-
off on close examination.

The most successful method yet found and tested through
numerous uses is the enlist-the-aid-of-the-patient method. It
combines parts of the stand-at-the window-and whisper method
with a clever twist of its own. One simply wakes the patient up
by shouting outside the window and gets her to go and open one of
the back doors to allow one to sneak in. A word to the wise: use
the back door facing the amphitheatre rather than the one facing
Winship (it thumps and brings the nurse at a dead run).

TO THE EDITOR:

There was an undercurrent
of dissatisfaction at the Senior
Class meeting last week when
it was announced that the facul-
ty voted against a request to
hold Investiture an hour earlier
on Saturday, November 4. This
request had been made so that
underclassmen participating in
Investiture, seniors, and their
families could take a meaning-
ful part in Investiture and still
go to the Homecoming game at
Georgia Tech.

What the seniors did not
realize at their meeting was
that the faculty decision was
not based on an attitude of
inflexibility, but on the neces-
sary consistency with a pre-
vious decision. Earlier, a
faculty decision concerning In-
vestiture was made, after much
debate , on the basis that In-
vestiture is an academic oc-
casion honoring the achieve-
ment of senior status.

When the proposal to elimi-
nate one class that Saturday
in order to hold Investiture
earlier was made, the faculty
could not vote to eliminate an
academic part of the campus
Life and remain consistent with
their previous decision based
on the importance of our tight
academic structure.

It seems to me ' that in light
of the dissatisfaction with In-
vestiture procedure and the
lesser importance some stu-
dents have given Investiture,
two questions need to be ask-
ed:

No. 1) For what meaning
does Investiture stand? and

No. 2) Does it have this
meaning for the students?

Until I talked with a faculty
member last week, I had never
thought of Investiture as a time
of Academic recognition.

In fact, I had never heard

Campbell Spends Summer
Taking Her Dream Trip

Picture yourself being chased
by half the population of an
African village led by a drum-
beating native or walking 30
miles in one day down the slopes
of Kilimanjaro. Everyone has
a dream trip that they want to
take. This summer Miss Pene-
lope Campbell realized her

traveled through West Africa,
the Republic of South Africa,
Rhodesia and East Africa.

Miss Campbell used every

any real definition for what
Investiture is, except in vague
terms of "honoring the
seniors" and "investing the
seniors with the responsibili-
ties of their rank." If it is
merely a social event, an open
house weekend would serve the
purpose better. If it is a time
emphasize the responsibility
which seniors have at Agr.es
Scott, a weekend immediately
following elections in the
spring would be more appro-
priate.

But if it is an academic
occasion, a valid occasion in a
place where academic excel-
lence is rightly honored, the
second question must be ask-
ed: Is academic honor what it
means to the students? Two
decisions in the past weeks
have been based on the fact
that Investiture is a time to
honor the academic achieve-
ments of the seniors, but does
it have that meaning for the
students themselves?

I feel that a conscious effort
on the part of the entire stu-
dent body to re-evaluate In-
vestiture is necessary. A com-
mittee needs to be formed to
sound out the students on what
it does mean or will mean to
them. If the meaning is other
than academic, the weekend
needs to be restructured to bet-
ter contain that meaning. If it
has academic relevance for
those involved, then we should
continue the tradition as it is.
But if Investiture is devoid
of academic meaning for the
students, it should be discon-
tinue because empty ritual is
unless.

Transportation was admitted-
ly one of the greatest difficul-
ties and facilities for travel-
ers very primitive.

All bureaucratic functions
are very slow because of the
unfamiliarity with running gov-
ernment. Miss Campbell had
to go through Immigration Of-
fices for every country she en-
tered. Health certificates were
major factors. In Johannes-
burg the official demanded
everyone's certificate and
sprayed the inside of the air-
plane before anyone could leave.

Early in the trip Miss Camp-
bell visited the Archives in
Monrovia and stayed at the
Peace Corp station, where the
people were at first suspicious,
thinking that she was an agent
sent to check on their work.
Actually, she was there to study
the early colonization of Li-
beria. She found the Archives
very disordered but felt that
she found practically all the
existing material on the sub-
ject.

Despite certain disappoint-
ments, Miss Campbell says that
the trip was "great!" Among
her favorite spots were the two
spectacular natural wonders,
Victoria Falls and Mount Kili-
manjaro. She flew over Kili-
manjaro and saw the vast
amount of snow on the slopes.
Later she attempted to climb
the mountain with 3 guides. Al-
though she didn't quite make it,
she did walk a total of 60
miles in five days.

Miss Campbell traveled on
buses with natives and visited
their villages. The Masai peo-
ple of Northern Tanzania wear
drab toga-like costumes, large
earrings and carry their spears
wherever they go. She found
the people very curious and
finally became accustomed to
being watched. Yet; Miss Camp-
bell remarks that the people
are very friendly and helpful.

ways warmly welcomed her,
because she was a new person
with whom they could talk about
the "outside world." There
are almost no telephones and
practically no television in Af-
rica and radios are not ex-
tremely numerous.

Having met many Peace
Corps workers, Miss Campbell
feels that this is a very worth-
while program. She noted es-
pecially how the people have
adapted to the count rv.

As a whole, Miss Campbell
thoroughly enjoyed the trip and
says, "I'd go back tomorrowl"
She feels that she has been only
a small part of Africa. With
much enthusiasm she describes
what she has already seen and
interjects, "And next time..."

Fox-Wilson Vows
Spoken October 14

On Saturday, October fourteenth, at four o'clock in the after-
noon. Miss Carrington Wilson became the bride of John Peter
Fox. The ceremony was performed in the Winship Chapel of the
First Presbyterian Church, by Dr. Allison F. Williams, pastor
of Trinity Presbyterian Church.

Miss Wilson was given in
marriage by her brother. Miss
Nancy Awbrey, organist, pro-
vided the music.

The matron of honor was Mrs.

It was proposed that "the

STUDENT DISTRUST

block considerations with "But people will take advantage "

Our whole existing legal structure stands in part on the concept
that individuals should be protected as much as possible from
harm by other individuals. Protecting an individual from him-
self is another matter and attempts to regulate personal mat-
ters by unsought authority imposed from the outside can be
disastrous. Most of the students here seem to trust them-
selves; it seems that this same kind of trust would be extended
toward others.

Emphasis on Honor
Planned for Week

Next week is Honor Emphasis Week, a time in which there
is a concentrated effort to relate the basic principles of Scott
life, honor, to the students who must interpret it. The first
activity will be a faculty-student discussion of the drinking
policy and will be held in the Rebekah Recreation Room at 8
p.m.

Sociological Society
Meets At Scott Today

October 27 and 2 8 Agnes Scott will be host to the Georgia
Sociological and Anthropological Association. Professors and
students from over thirty Georgia colleges and universities
will be on campus for this two day meeting. Anna Greene Smith,
vice-president of the Association and program chairman says,
"This is one of the most stimulating meetings on campus. It
features students and professors working together on the major
social problems of today. We hope the campus community will
feel welcome to come to any of the programs."

Registration will begin Fri- versity of Georgia wil , discuss

day afternoon at 1:30 with the
opening speech at 2:30 p.m.
Ernest Campbell, professor of
sociology at Vanderbilt and pre-
sident of the Southern Sociolo-
gical Society will speak on
"Outlook for Sociology Today."
The entire afternoon will be de-
voted to anthropology and so-
ciology. Friday night there will
be a dinner at 6 o'clock in the
lower dining hall with the Pre-
sident of the Association, Ray
Payne of the University of Geor-
gia, speaking on "Ethnology and
Sociology Some Relations."

Saturday morning from 9:00
-10:15 a.m. Fred Crawford of
Emory University will discuss
"Urban Revolt andCivil Agres-
sion." From 10:15 until 11:15
Belle Boone Beard of the Uni-

"Centenarians Face the Fu-
ture." After this a panel from
Emory University and the Uni-
versity of Georgia will discuss
sociological theory. There will
also be a student panel discus-
sion about the teaching of so-
ciology featuring students from
West Georgia College. John
Oakley and Thomas Iseley will
present this panel discussion.

This is the first time the or-
ganization has met on the Agnes
Scott campus. Sociology majors
will act as hostesses. Some of
the colleges represented are
Mercer, Wesleyan, Georgia
Tech, Emory, University of
Georgia, Albany College, ki-
lanta University, Georgia State,

Scott, Judy Arahno. Miss Ara-
hno, a philosophy major, has
worked with the Bruno Bettel-
heim School for emotionally
disturbed children in Chicago
since graduation. While at
Scott she was active on Judi-
cial Council and in other areas
of student concern.

According ta. Lynne Hyde, a
member of the Honor Emphasis
Week committee, thecommittee
deliberately chose a recent
Scott graduate to speak in order
to "get a view of the Honor Sy-
stem of someone who has been
here recently and has had time
to acquire some perspective on
it."

The week's activities will be
culminated by a freshman fire-
side Wednesday at 4:45 in Wal-
ter's basement in which Zolly
Zollicoffer, president of Stu-
dent Government, Gue Pardue,
chairman of Judicial Council,
Alice Harrison, chairman of
the Honor Emphasis Week Com-
mittee, and Sue Crowe, a mem-
ber of this committee, will lead
the discussion. The purpose is
to provide a time for questions
and answers on issues raised
during the week's concentration
upon honor as defined by the
Scott way of life.

Investiture Began
At Secret Ceremony

There is some doubt concerning the date when investiture
was inaugurated as a public ceremony. However the class of
1913 seems to have no doubts about it. They claimtfiat their ser-
vice on Friday, December 15, 1912, under the direction of Dr.
Gaines and Miss Richardson was the initial public Investiture.
The speaker for the occasion was the young business manager
Mr. Bachman. It was only the year before the annual of 1912
that assuming the cap and gown to denote seniorhood was re-
ferred to as 4 'investing."

Art Exhibit
Features
Alumna

Leone Bowers Hamilton, a
graduate of A^nes Scott Col-
lege, is the artist whose works
are currently on exhibition in
the Dal ton Galleries of the
Dana Fine Arts Building. Mrs.
Hamilton has spent her life
working with art in one form
or another. After graduating,
she continued her active par-
ticipation in the field with
teaching positions in the De-
Kalb County Schools, at Agnes
Scott, Georgia State College
and Emory University. For the
past three summers she has
been invited to teach classes
in Seattle, Washington and is
now conducting adult classes at
the Decatur RecreatipnCenter.

The artist has had a number
of one-man shows and has won
awards for both her water color
and oil paintings. For three
consecutive years, Mrs. Hamil-
ton was invited to represent
American women in painting at
the Museum of Modern Art in
Paris, France.

There will be an opening re-
ception in the Dana Fine Arts
Building Sunday, October 29,
from 3 to 5 p.m. The exhibi-
tion of Mrs. Hamilton's work
will continue through Novem-
ber 19.

The class of 1908 was the
first to wear the cap and gown.
This was only two years after
the college began to grant the
B.A. degree. Prior to 1912
the ceremony was conducted
privately in Dr. Gaines' study.

The reason for this was quite
clear. As a climax to the tra-
ditional rivalry begun when they
were freshmen and sophomores
the Junior class attempted to
steal the caps and gowns even if
possible before they were de-
livered from the Express Of-
fice. To avoid this difficulty
the Seniors announced in chapel
that the ceremony would take
place at a later chapel period.
Then they held the ceremony
privately, or should we say,
secretly.

Since approximately 1915 the
first Saturday in November has
been the accepted time for In-
vestiture. Only a few times in
the history of the college has
the date varied.

According to the consensus of
opinion, Miss Cady, Professor
of History, suggested the In-
vestiture ceremony. She also
suggested the companion cere-
mony at graduation when new
graduates assume the hood.

From 1913 until l937Investi-
ture was held in the old chapel.
In 1938 and 1939 it tookplacein
the Gymnasium. Since Presser
Hall was completed in 1930,
the service has been held there.

The Community Worship ser-
vice was added to the events of
Investitute Weekend in the Fall
of 1943. The first service was

Seminar

An unusual and long-needed situation has
finally come about here at Agnes Scott.
The students are getting the opportunity
to hear their faculty lecture outside the
classroom, and the faculty members are
actually getting to speak on some fields
in which they have done special research.

This all happened because of the hard
work of Representative Council's Co-Cur-
riculum Committee on the seminar on the
Middle Ages, begun by Miss Meroney in
Convocation Wednesday.

Mary Hart, head of this seminar, and
Judy Williams, chairman of the committee,
deserve a word of thanks for organizing
this well-planned study. The fact that the
schedule of lectures is spaced out over a
number of weeks allows the possibility
of much greater student participation.

The most impressive thing about this
seminar is that the speakers are all mem-
bers of our own faculty. For once we here
at Scott get to hear people familiar to us
lecture on the things they are most in-
terested in and have done research on.

The PROFILE commends Mary and Judy
for their work and commends the seminar
to the student body's interest. There is
some topic included in the program which
will appeal to people in every department,
yet the seminar is a unified, well-planned
study. Let's give it our support.

OBSERVATIONS

It may sound trite, but watching television
can be a very educational experience as well
as an entertaining one. It all depends on the
attitude of the viewer.

If you are seeking entertainment you can
find it. At least you can find some form of
escapism almost everytime you turn on "the
tube."

My experiences into this world of television
recently have been quite varied. For a week
there, yours truly, along with other true base-
ball fans across the campus and the nation,
sat glued to the screen and the World Series.
I actually felt like I was our there with Jim
Lonborg in all three games he pitched and
wished I had been there to comfort him after
the last game.

But all the other Boston fans and I have
now practically recovered from that defeat
and have started tuning in to other shows. My
very favorite and only every-week one is "I
Spy."

Now I know all you people are sitting there
saying, "What's so educational about "I
Spy'?" Well, I happen to be a Bill Cosby
fan, and that in itself is an education. I can
learn a lot about a person from seeing her
expressions the first time she walks into my
room and runs into a big picture of Bill Cos-
by. (If that doesn't upset her enough, she
turns around and finds Senator Bob Kennedy.)

Reactions to inter-racial television pro-
grams and movies are quite varied. Last
Thursday night, in celebration of post-test
trauma, I set out to watch one of my favorite

actors, Sidney Poitier, in "The Defiant
Ones." For those of you who don't know, this
movie deals with the problems of two con-.,
victs who escape from a chain-gang chained
to eac h other. The men are portrayed by
Poitier and Tony Curtis, and the action is in
the South. There, my friends , you have the
plot.

The story evolves from the angry, be-
grudging helpfulness for self-preservation to
the growth of a deep friendship between the
white man and the black man. When they
finally get rid of the chains, each of them
sacrifices his chance for freedom to help the
other.

One of the final scenes of this movie is of
Poi tier's hopping a freight train and reaching
down to help the wounded Curtis jump up, too.
For a minute or so, the viewer sees quite
a drama. The picture shows only a black
hand reaching down to grab a white hand
stretched up to make contact. The hands
finally grip, but with the speed of the train,
they become loose again.

Instead of just riding off on the train to
freedom, Poitier lets himself fall out and
down the hill along with his friend. To show
that crime does not pay, the prisoners are
re-captured, but in their experiences they
have achieved a real freedom that from ,
prejudice and ignorance.

At the end of the movie one girl in the
television room said, "Gross movie." Like
I said before, television can very educational

viewer. by Susan Aikman

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor:

Last Saturday night as my
date and I strolled past the
corner of 8th and Plum Streets
(an area more commonly known
as the location of Georgia
Tech's nuclear reactor), we
discussed the antiuniverse, Re-
naissance man, relative phy-
sics, and the goals we desired
in the fourth grade.

As we talked, he said, "I can
tell that you aren't the TYPI-
CAL SCOTTIE." "NO, NO,
says I typically, "You can't
say that. You know that there
ain't no such thing as the TY-
PICAL SCOTTIE."

Confrontation: We at Agnes
Scott despise being labeled as
'Typical Scotties." We will
insist to the bitter end that we
are not typical: that we are not

socialites, brains, St. Agnes-
types, or whatever. We will
even as I did reply typically,
"There ain't no such thing."

And just exactly what does
that mean? We abhor being
stereotyped; we want to be in-
dividuals. We say so, whether
we realize it or not, everytime
we answer typically, 'There
ain't no such thing."

Yet, we allow ourselves to
smother our own individuality
with policies that are aimed
at making each of us typical.
I believe that each of us is
typical in only one respect:
we all cherish the secret de-
sire to be an individual, for we
detest the label typical.

Let us now realize our desire
to become individuals by mak-
ing changes in any policy which

J by Sandra Earley C

Not that I'm sacred or anything, but those noises we've been
hearing in the dead of night are getting rather annoying. I know
Halloween is Monday, but this is ridiculous. I can put up with,
even enjoy, the gobblins, the witches, and The Great Pumpkin
but The Mad Whistler?

I'm getting ahead of my story. It all started with the click-
click outside Mary and Carol's room. It really wasn't harmful,
just an occasional chatty click-click as if to keep us company
in the dead of the night. We easily explained it as being the Cand-
ler Street man-hole cover resettling after a car had passed. But
then the click-click moved outside Sharon's room which doesn't
face on the street.

Click-clicks disappeared one night nover to return. But were
replaced by our friend the metallic squeak. I know this is the year
of the "hardware look" in fashion, but now I ask you, would you
believe the "hardware sound" in cottages? The metallic squeak,
too, occurs at odd times of the night and sounds just like a gray
mouse running on a metal tread-mill. (Where did that simile
come from? Yes, gray mice do sound different from mice of
other colors.)

Keeping our ears wide open now, we have become very con-
cious of any and all sounds. We have discovered a scratchy-
swish which seems to occur in a swath aimed at the mettallic
squeak. This noise sounds to our by now well-trained ears like
an orange kitten scooting across brown-painted wooden floors.

Rather late one night, about one a.m., we began hearing a
regular shuffle moving down the second floor hall. We listened
every night thereafter and the same sound was made without fail
at one a.m. After a week of this new noise coupled with the
metallic squeak and the scratchy -swish we plucked up our
courage and decided to peak out our doors at one a.m. and see
just what was shuffling.

One night we finally peeked, and saw-- Sharon shuffling down
the hall in her flop-flops to the shower. What are flop- flops? Why,
an affectionate name for her pair of matched right flip-flops,

limits our search for indi-
viduality. We must reword
these policies to allow each
individual the freedom to think
and act as she feels is correct.

To the Editor:

Recently I received a copy of
the October 6th issue of the
PROFILE with its letter re-
garding hippies. Today I re-
ceived the October 13 issue,
which contained several replies
to that letter. To those replies
I would like to add some thoughts
I have had recently.

Although I am not a member
of the Agnes Scott community
at this very minute, I was a
member of that community not
too long ago. The word "apa-
thy" is a well-known word to
all Scotties, for nearly every-
one is accused at one time or
another of being apathetic. How-
ever, is there such a great de-
gree of apathy on the campus
or is it just a term used to
categorize the complainers
those who remain (often un-
willingly) within the structure
yet who in thought and spirit
might be diametrically opposed
to the structure.

Usually, the main fault of
these people is that they say,
"I don't like what's going to
on here, but what's the use of
saying what I think? Agnes
Scott isn't going to change in the
next 100 years." Changes often
come about slowly at ASC, but
changes are made. If one will
only look carefully, one will
see an evolution changes are
made every year. These chang-
es come about only through
the hard thoughtful work of those
students involved in the struc-
ture of the Agnes Scott com-
munity. If any of you deny
that changes are being made,
talk to someone who is in-
volved in the structure listen
to her, then THINK.

From my emphasis on thought
and careful formation of
opinions, one might surmise-
that I mean one should work
through the structure and thus
try to improve it. This, indeed,
is my recommendation. How-
ever, I do think there can be a

Rebekah Sleuths and P.J,
Solve Nighttime Mystery

Last week there was some-
thing rotten in the dorm of
Rebekah, or so the residents
were led to believe by the odor
pervading the halls around 11
p.m. one night. After a nose-
holding search led by senior
judicial Alice Harrison and
house president Nina Greg, the
officials were called in.

Bronna Willis and Mollie
Merrick arrived on the scene
ready to attack any rats which
were lying around dead. The
possibility of the smell's origi-
nating from a dead rat were
quickly eliminated, however,
when Bronna said, "I grew up
in the slums and I know that's
no rat."

About this time the members
of the spy team had descended]
to the second floor where the
odor was stronger especially

since third smelled a whole lot
like Sally Walker's spray room
deodorizer,, By this time the
smell had been defined as be-
ing like a can of spoiled sar-
dines or a dead fish.

Rebekah Sleuths, Inc. stalked
the second floor and examined
all the rooms. In one they all
of a sudden knew that there was
the source they just couldn't
find it. The brave sleuths be-
gan looking in the corners, un-

by Susan Aikman

der the beds, in drawers and in
the closets while the cowards
lurked in the halls or stood
quivering in the middle of the
room. Some of the hall crowd
came in and excitedly informed
the spy crew that the small
was getting progressively
worse in the hall. The search
in the room was then tempo-
rarily abandoned.

The next culprit suspected
*vas a leaky sewerage pipe or
some fault in thesprinkler sys-
tem's pipes. Finally Mollie
and Bonnie decided that it was
time to call for help. P. J.
Rogers, who at the hour of
11:45 was at home in his p.j.'s,
was summoned.
- The call made, all of the busy
sleuths relaxed and holding
their noses waited for his ar-
rival. In the meantime, cam-
pus policeman Jones came in
as a fore-runner for Rogers.
Jones came up to the second
floor, took a sniff, and said that
he had sinus trouble and couldn't
smell very much.

Around the witching hour 12
Mr. Rogers and maintenance
man Bob Crumbley hit Rebekah
and in fifteen minutes the mystery
was solved but not before an
extensive search had taken
place.

Without waiting for instruc-

tions, Rogers immediately
headed for the third floor while
all the former detectives trail-
ed along behind him. After
smelling the maid's closet, the
water fountain, and the kitchen,
Rogers and troops descended
to second. Someone was heard
to remark, "It looks sortalike
Jesus and his disciples.

One faux pas came when Rog-
ers started down the back stairs
for second where some enter-
prising student had hung her
underwear to dry. At Agnes
Scott, one can expect anything.

Alice and Bronna, following
Rogers' instructions, poured
water down the drain in the bath-
room floor and sniffed it. The
conclusion was, "it smells
like a drain." In the meantime
Rogers and Crumbley discover-
ed THE room suspected pre-
viously. They walked in, and
immediately found the prob-
lem.

These under-privileged fresh-
men had only one lamp the one
provided by the school. In or-
der to get more light, they had
taken off the lampshade. Some-
how the plastic globe had got-

the noise, we never would have looked. (No. Sharon doesn't have

Getting back to the noises, the metallic squeak and the scratchy
-swish are still with us. Lately a third permanent sound has
been added. Pat is far and away the most sharpeared of us and
one night earley last week she was awakened by a whistle coming
from the fire-escape outside her room. This was a decidely un-
pleasant experience for Pat being rudely awakened by a whistle
which wasn't even particularly tuneful.

Every night since then there has been a whistle accompanied
by a metallic squeak and a scratch-swish. We have decided that
we have The Mad Whistler lurking around our cottage rattling
a mouse's cage and letting a cat loose on a wooden floor.

Reasonable explanations like this should satisfy and reassure
us, but somehow they just don't. Maybe Halloween will settle
everything.

Should we consider the possibility that the Spirit of Black Cat
is still out and about? Protect us from whistling Super ScottiesI

rebellion against the structure,
and I think the rebellion is go-
ong on right now at this very
minute.

During the past few years at
Agnes Scott, there has been
very much discussion concern-
ing the Honor System. It is a
vital factor in the the structure
of Agnes Scott College. Yet,
how many people really believe
in the Honor System? How many
people reject it completely by
breaking the rules? How many
people totally ignore its implied
dual responsibility?

This rebellion can have a good
effect, for it is possible to
create from this dissent a
stronger, more effective Honor
System. However, open, active
rebellion can only mean dis-
aster for the community as a
whole. The time has come at
Agnes Scott for a rebellion of
thoughts.

Open rebellion without thought
can only lead to destruction.
The hippies in their rebellion
have thought, for there is an en-
tire philosophy underlying the
movement. Through painstak-
ingly carelul thought and con-
sideration on the part of every
member of the Agnes Scott com-
munity, a movement both with-
in and outside of the given
structure may be enacted. The
result can be a stronger struc-
ture a structure of which one
can be proud. Such a structure
would not satisfy everyone, for
no structure can do that.There
should always be individual
thought and expression of that
thought.

The Honor System is only
one facet of the structure, but
since it is the most vital, I
have chosen it as an example.
Before you rebel against any-
thing at Agnes Scott, go through
an active process of thought and
examination. Only in this way
can a total intellectual rebel-
lion be enacted, and only in this
way can la student constructive-
ly and effectively express her
individuality.

To think, to express, to be-
come a stronger individual...
TO WHAT INTENT?

Honor Is 'Cornerstone'
of Agnes Scott Structure

The Agnes Scott handbook
states that the honor system
is "...the cornerstone of the
entire structure of Agnes Scott
life..." In this day of man's
persistent questioning of every
phase of life, it is time foreach
Scott student to examine re-
sponsibly this aspect andtode-
cide what it means to her. It
is not an easy examination. It
often seems hard to combine
idealistic premises with the
realistics of life, and it is this
point at which Agnes Scott's
honor system seems to re-
ceive much negatice criticism.

One aspect which greatly con-
cerns me and which is em-
phasized in every part of our
system is responsibility. It is
being fulfilled? There is a per-
sonal and dual responsibility
to protect this system from
harmful actions and attitudes.
It seems to me that responsi-
bility invloves more than dis-
gust over rules without posi-
tive suggestions; more than
tive suggestions; more than
spreading of rumors (forwhich
I see no use) of how many
Scott girls broke certain poli-
cies; more than gripes about
actions passed by Rep. Coun-
cil without participation in stu-
dent government meetings,

The ability to assume re-
sponsibility (and to know what
responsibilities one can as -
sume) is often thought of as a
mark of a mature person.
Everyone cannot take the
responsibility for every action
on this campus. That would
be absurd and impossible, and
that is why we have officers

by Nancy Thompson

and student boards. However,
there are still basic respon-
sibilities which it seems that
each of us has including the
realization , acc- ptance, and
development of the good that is
already in our honor system.

Among the major aspects
of our system is an element
of trust which does seem to
be present on this campus par-
ticularly in the fact that no one
stands over your shoulder to
make sure that you are uphold-
ing the rules either social or
academic. Scott does not
operate on a "catch me if you
can" or "you must turn the
rule breakers in" system. Ra-
ther students are entrusted with
a responsible concern for many
of their own and their fellow
students' actions.

Students are also entrusted
with the privilege of helping
to formulate the rules, poli-
cies, and ideals which deter-
mine the way we live here. It
is here that our duty of respon-
sible questioning comes in and
much of it is being done by
Scott students now. It presence
indicates a system which seems
fittingly described as "alive
and kicking." No one claim-:
that this is the perfect system.
There is always room for im-
provement, and self-govern-
ment enables students to ex-
amine critically the honor
system if they only will.

The fact that one's desires
are not always gratified im-
mediately does not necessarily
indicate that backwardness
prevails. It does indicate a
diversity of feelings (which is

good if we are to maintain our
individuality). It also seems
to indicate that anything worth-
while usually involves hard
work.

Whether we believe that the
system is good as it is or that
parts of it are outmoded or
invalid, we must work respon-
sibly for improvements. We
must also remember in this
task the past which has given
us a good foundation, the pre-
sent with which we are im-
mediately concerned, and the
future which we are helping
to determine by our actions.

Honor Emphasis

Next week is a period of time set aside
for what should be an important subject to
every student on the Agnes Scott campus.
Whether it is or not is up to the individual
student's judgment.

Honor Emphasis Week in the past has
been meaningful to those few students who
bothered to attend. The program set up for
this year by the committee headed by senior
Alice Harrison is evidence that the week
can be even more purposeful this year.

The PROFILE today is presenting a
series of articles concerning the honor
sytem written by judicial members and
other interested students. We hope that
these will arouse some interest in other
members of the Agnes Scott community and
that this Honor Emphasis Week will be a
meaningful one for everyone here.

Transfer Student's
Opinion of System

by Kathleen Musgrave

The effectiveness of the honor system here at Scott is quite
impressive to me. This system is basic to the concept of
intellectual and social growth, and it gives each student an
added sense of responsibility in the process. (The number of
rules we have almost seems ironical with such a strong honor
system, but I suppose they are necessary.) I am glad to become
a part of a college where students are trusted and respected
as we are at Scoti.

Freshman Says

Honor Is More Than Policies

It is really hard to say after
living on the Agnes Scott Col-
lege campus for only a month
what the Honor System of the
college means to me as a mem-
ber of the Freshman Class. It
is hard to say whether specific
policies regarding a Scottie's
personal behavior are being
honored by members of the Stu-
dent Body, and it is even harder
to say what the attitude of the
community is toward living in
terms of the Honor System.

Having seen life on this cam-
pus for such a short period of
time, I am no authority on to
what extent some of the policies
under the Honor System are
broken. It is, of course, com-
mon knowledge that these poli-
cies, especially the Drinking
Policy, are abused by some
members of the Student Body.
It did surprise me, however,
that some members of the
Freshman Class have already
felt that they were above the
policy.

I know many of the girls
are from states where the legal
age for drinking (at least beer)

by Sallie Daniel

is 18. They may be used to
drinking under the law, but they
must remember that now we are
under more stringent laws set
up not only by Agnes Scott Col-
lege, but by the law of the state
of Georgia. It is mandatory that
each girl, not only the Freshman
Class, but in the entire school
remember that when she de-
cided to come to Agnes Scott
she signed the Honor Pledge.
The pledge is a means of for-
mally adopting the way of life
of the college community. It
reads as follows:
"As a member of the Student
Body of Agnes Scott College,
I consider myself bound by
honor to develop high stan-
dards of honesty and beha-
vior; to strive for full intel-
lectual and moral stature; to
realize my social and aca-
demic responsibility in the
community. To attain these
ideals. I do therefore accept
this Honor System as my way
of life."

The terms used in the pledge
may seem somewhat vague to
one who is not a student at Scott,

but each and every girl on this
campus knows how this promise
relates to certain policies. In
short, when I signed this I pro-
mised to obey fully the rules
and regulations of the school.
I did not promise to bend the
rules to suit specific situations,
I did not promise to interpret
the rules to fit my need, and I
did not promise to obey the
rules periodically. I adopted
with every other girl on this
campus a way of living. It is
sad to think there ar^. girls at
Scott who have so little regard
for their personal honor that
they think it acceptable to break
rules which they pledged to up-
hold. This college has a repu-
tation for its high standards,
and it is not up to a single mem-
ber of the comm jnity to under-
mind the entire system.

The only "gripe" I have with
the Honor System in my limited
experience is that at tim?s it
seems there is too much em-
phasis on the Drinking Policy
alone. I realize that this is the
most pressing problem facing

Smoak Questions
Dual Responsibility

by Allyn Smoak

Most students would probably agree that the Honor System
is one of the most distinctive characteristics of the way of life
at Agnes Scott. Another point onwhichmost would agree is that
it takes almost a 100% effort on the part of every student to make
the Honor System a success. This effort necessarily involves
a student's assuming her own responsibility in whatever form
it may take, be it the responsibility to sign out in the Dorm
Book to go to the Brazier or the responsibility to come in after
a night on the town being able to function "normally." One
certain responsibility that I question is that of dual responsi-
bility.

What is it? Anyone can look
on page nine of the Handbook
and find its definition. This
seems to be a fairly clear state-
ment of what dual responsibility
means, however, how many stu-
dents realize exactly what it en-
tails?

How many times does a stu-
dent get by with a rule break-
age not important merely be-
cause it is a policy violation
but because it is something that
could eventually contribute to
undermining a student's per-
sonal integrity simply be-
cause another student who is
aware of this violation does not
know her well enough to talk
with her personally and will not
talk with a Judicial member be-
cause she feels she would be a
tattle-tale? Merely talkingwith
a Judicial member does not
mean that a student is guilty
of some violation. An offense
never becomes a case until the
girl who commits it allows it to
be such.

Ideally, the girl who hears of
or sees what she thinks may be

Kenyon Promotes
Moderate Changes

by Dusty Kenyon

Though recent expressions of student opinion have implied
that we of the Agnes Scott community are not taking an active part
in the "revolutions" of our times, I feel that we are indeed a part
of this movement. Granted, none of us has expressed our emo-
tions in such an unconventional manner as the hippies, but some
have "dared" to make strong declarations, calling for extreme
changes.

a policy violation should take
the initiative herself to talk
with the other party concerned.
However , I wonder how many
times it actually occurs this
way.

Please do not misunderstand
me. I am certainly in favor of
the principle for which dual
responsibility stands. I would
never want to be a part of a
tattle-tale or police . system.
Dual responsibility should play
such a vital role on this cam-
pus, I just wonder atiout the
number of times that this re-
sponsibility is taken seriously
and actually put into effect.

I for one am in favor of
change; I agree with those who
have said that only by changing
can we improve ourselves and
the college. But is it wise to
change everything at once? Isn't
it more reasonable to take one
step at a time?

1 apply my plea for "modera-
tion in change" particularly to
our Honor System. We are all
eager to dispose of the so-
called "picky" rules and re-
gulations. Yet, there is just
too much at stake to make all
the needed changes at once. We
often remark, sarcastically,
that it takes ages to change any
rule, but consider what has hap-
pened in the pastfour years: we
have replaced a "no-drinking-

As you read this, more than 500 students,
representing 200 colleges and universities
throughout the country, accompanied by
a distinguished faculty, already have
embarked from New York for the Fall 1967
semester which will take them to ports in
Europe, Africa and Asia, returning to Los Angeles via Honolulu.

Students are now enrolling for the Spring 1968 semester which will depart
from Los Angeles to engage in shipboard study supplemented by visits to ports in
Peru, Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, Greece, Turkey,
Yugoslavia, Italy, Portugal, The Netherlands and Great Britain, terminating in May
at New York.

the Judicial board because of
the question of interpretation,
and I certainly appreciate their
work in this area, but I feel
as if there are other problems,
admittedly less serious, which
deserve some emphasis. These
are not in the field of aca-
demics because I have not seen
any infringment of the rules
regarding this phase of campus
life.

1 think the Honor System is
not only rules restricting and
defining the conduct of members
of the Student Body, but it should
be an atmosphere pervading ev-
ery phase of life at Scott. The
Honor System should generate
a feeling of responsibility to
yourself and others. It should
apply not only to Buttrick Hall
and "fraternity row" at Geor-
gia Tech, but also be concerned
with life in the dorms. To
"realize social responsibility
in the community "means doing
one's best to live pleasantly with
the other girls around her. It is
especially hard for freshmen
to do such things as observing
"quiet hours" since we are
more used to having been at
home where there was room to
be loud if we felt like it. A lot
of people need to stand back and
look at their behavior objective-
look at their behavior objec-
tively. They might then realize
that what they are' doing is not
only infringing on rules which
have been made to make living
in a dorm more enjoyable, but
in the process are being
extremely rude to people around
them.

It is really not my place to
make any judgment as to whe-
ther the Honor System is work-
ing at Agnes Scott College. The
Honor System places emphasis
not on observing your fellow
students' conduct, but on making
sure your own behavior is above
reproach. It would be my hope
then that each girl would re-
examine her feelings on the
Honor System in light of liv-
ing responsibly in the college
community.

^Andersonville Trial' Puts
Over-Emphasis on Morals

Thparrp Atlanta's sprond nlav A "Kir T ymh"co n ^ ^ 4-

OCTOBER 27, 1967

Who S WHO (CONT. FROM P. 1)

Theatre Atlanta's second play
of the season, which opened
last week, is "The Anderson-
ville Trial," written by Saul
Levitt and directed by Jay
Borad. The action takes place
in a U.S. Court of Claims in
Washington, D.C. soon after
the Civil War, where Henry
Wirz is on trial. The trail
concerns Wirz's inhumane
treatment of the Union soldiers
in Andersonville prison during
his year as prison superinten-
dent.

The play effectively evokes
our emotion and sympathy for
the Union prisoners. This is
done without the aid of set-
ting or action, though there is
some background music. The
emotions and personalities of
the individual characters who
testify, the dramatic itemiza-
tion of facts concerning lack of
food, sanitation, and numbers
of the dead help substantiate
our feelings of horror toward
the prison and sympathy for the
hypothetical prisoners. At the
same time, our sympathy for
Wirz is unconsciously evoked
by the obvious prejudice against
him by all the witnesses and
by the skillful and humorous
rebuttalsof his counselor, Bak-
er.

The setting at first glance
seems ill-suited to any kind of
emotional provocation for the
audicence a drab courtroom.
But designer, David Chapman,
skillfully makes the room
spares enough and the relief
map of Andersonville in the
background big enough so that,
with the proper lighting our
imagination can wander outside
the courtroom into the suggest-
ed atmosphere of the prison
camp.

Other than this effective es-
tablishment of an emotion-
charged atmosphere, however,
the play has relatively little
to offer besides posing the mo-
ral question: are there some
cases in which a member of
the armed forces must disobey
his superior in order to pre-
serve his personal moral con-
victions? And this question is
so over-emphasized (since it
constitutes the entire basis for
the prosecution) that it loses
its potential dramatic impact.

The three most important
characters is the play are
Baker, the defense counsel; Lt.
Col. Chipman, the judge advo-
cate who prosecutes, and Henry

Nightshirts,

Agnes Scott Athletic Asso-
ciation is trying something new,

T-shirts will be made of heavy
cotton and will have red and

emblem printed on them Jn addi-
tion, A.A. has ordered colored
rain coats of heavy rubber for
those who signed up for them.

The order will arrive in three or
four weeks. Since A.A. is short
on funds, the order will be
small. If students like the T-
shirts and nightshirts, a larger
order will be made. Any stu-
dent who missed the sweatshirt
sale and who wants to buy a
sweatshirt may ask any mem-
ber of A.A. and she will be glad
to get one for you.

by Louise Bruechert

Wirz, the defendant.

Baker comes across as a
powerful character, and Jim
Garner gives a well-rounded
interpretation of the role. He is
a skillful, experienced, honest
but not naively idealistic law-
yer, with a philosophic sense
of humor, who sees some good
in his client worth preserving.

The judge advocate, who by
his victory in the trial should be
the hero of the drama, seems at
times to be merely the mouth-
piece through which the author
expounds on his moral beliefs.
Gordon Greene saves the
character by his good looks, and
by appearing young enough so
that we can excuse some of his
obnoxiously idealistic opinions.

Henry Wirz, played by
Clarence Felder, is the most
colorful character in the play.
His German accent (Wirz was
born in Switzerland), his huge
bulk, his grizzly appearance,
the constant pain he suffers

because of his maimed hands,
all tend to distinguish him from
the other characters. Felder's
portrayal of the role, how-
ever, transcends these physi-
cal distinctions, and makes of
Wirz much more than the pet-
ty, mechanical bureaucrat, who
never disobeys orders and who
at most if guilty of indifference.
Wirz might use these words
about himself, but his impetuous
desire to take the stand toclear
himself "before his children,"
and his bearing throughout the
trial make him a martyr. Thus,
all the beautiful, soul-search-
ing questions presented by the
young judge advocate are torn
down, and the fact that he
nevertheless wins the case in
the end, leaves our desire for
resolution dangling and some-
what dissatisfied.

Although the moral question
is not handled so well artisti-
cally, it does leave much food
for thought to occupy the
audience after the performance.

Seniors and
Take Two

Having emerged victorious
from the Black Cat hockey
games, the sophomores' and
seniors went on to win their
second games of the season last
Friday.

The senior class faced an
enthusiastic team of freshmen
in the first of Friday's games.
Kat Mitchell was first to score
for the seniors. Kat*s goal
was followed by two by team-
mate Ellen Ritcher. Many of
the senior'sattempts at scoring
were prevented by the well
planned defense of the fresh-
man team, but Kat Mitchell
was able to score dnce more,
making the final score- -seniors
4, freshmen 0.

A closely fought game was
the game between the sopho-
more and junior class. In the
first minute of the game, sopho-
more Cornelia DeLee went in
for the first goal. The game,
was tied by Mary McAlpine's
goal, but the sophomores came
back in the second half with
Elizabeth Crum scoring the
winning point.

There was even competition
to fill the half Friday as the
dorm : representatives gritted
their teeth and battled their
way through gruelling events.

WHO'S WHO

team, and the basketball teams
of her class have all had the
aid of Kathy Stafford who is
currently president of Athletic
Association. In the 1965-66
school year she was golf man-
ager, and the next year she
was treasurer of the associ-
ation.

Ann Teat has been vice-pre-
sident ot-tne freshman class and
sophomore Black Cat chairman.
She served as PROFILE report-
er for Athletic Association and
is currently a member of that
board. A member of Mortar
Board, she spent her junior
year studying in France.

Original Reviews Present
Different View of GWTW

"When "GONE WITH THE
WIND" opened in 1939, Atlanta
and the South sang its- praises
both before and after the event,
and frankly hasn't stopped yet.
But when reading the reviews
of it in magazines and quarter-
lies of twenty-six years past,
a different viewpoint emerges
to make the reader wonder at the
judgement of some long-ago li-
terary people regarding this
classic.

When a British reviewer in
"SPECTATOR" finds it to be
"a repetitive and shamelessly
shapeless film," the question
begins to arise Is this the
same film? And "SPECTA-
TOR" goes on to say, "For
this film ("GWTW") has no
justification whatever for last-
ing the three hours and forty
minutes which are only too
modestly claimed for it. Like
most screen subjects, all it has
to say could be compassed in
a neat ninety minutes; 45 for
the American Civil War and 45
for the personalia. "Gone With
The Wind" is a particularly
good illustration of Hollywood's
periodic (and almost always
fatal) phases of meglomania."

"THE NEW REPUBLIC"
judges it this way, "Actually
there is one reason "GONE
WITH THE WIND" is a national
gander. The reason is $4,000,-
000 and that is simply all. Of
course the book was wildfire

by Kay Parkerson

in the seller lists. . .But there

and dramatic versions before,
and actors acting before, cos-
tumes, shootings wigs. \nd who
runs a temperature?. . .The only
contribution to movie art possi-
ble in anything staggering under
such demands of hoop and
hoorah and the super-specta-
cular, is a new record for
running time in the theatre."

The final blow comes from
'THEATRE ARTS", who far
from being complimentary,
says, "Although few motion pic-
tures in filmdom's history have
received such public acclaim-
and none such acclamation of
publicity- as the Selznick-In-
ternational collossus which
opened, as newspaper readers
may recall, in Atlanta, Georgia,
"GONE WITH THE WIND"
seems, to one heretical ob-
server, to be "less photogenic
in almost every respect than
such comparative will-of-the
wisps as the films just dis-
cussed (one forgotten film and
"MR. SMITH GOES TO WASH-
INGTON") ...GONE WITH THE
THE WIND, whatever its vir-
tues, is tied so tightly to the
apron strings of Margaret Mit-
chell's best selling classic that
it stands but rarely on its own
feet as a film ...The result is
that the film must belisted, des-
pite all its many excellences,
as a major disappointment...

the BIRTH OF A NATION still
remains-in twenty-five year old
retrospect- the motion picture
classic of the Civil War, a
photoplay that was just as stu-
pendous, for its time, as "Gone
With The Wind." far less static
and much more exciting."

The Wind was a flop?

SIR JOHN ROTHENSTEIN TO SPEAK

On Landscape Artist William Turner

Rothenstein Speaks
Tonight On Turner

Sir John Rothenstein, former Director of the Tate Gallery
in London, will lecture here on November 3. His lecture
topic will be J. M. Turner, 19th century English landscape
painter, on whom Sir John is one of the foremost authorities.
The lecture will be held in Maclean, and Sir John will use
slides to augment his talk.

Sir John graduated from Ox-
ford University in 1928 with a

Master of Arts degree. He
taught in the United States at
the University of Kentucky and
at the University of Pittsburgh,
and during the 1967-68 season
Sir John is teaching at Fordham
University in New York City.

After teaching in the United
States for several years, Sir
John returned to England to be-
come Director of the art gal-

leries in Leeds and Sheffield.
In these posts he exercised
great initiative in making the
galleries available to the pub-
lic. He was probably the first
museum director in England
to make an active effort to bring
school children to the galleries.

In 1938 Sir John was appoint-
ed Director and Keeper of the
Tate Gallery, one of the most
distinguished art museums in

" The College was founded
for the glory of God and the ser-
vice of the Lord Jesus Christ
by the education and culture of
women. To realize this design
it is required that the trustees
shall be in manifest sympathy
with the traditional religious
purpose of the College, that
members of the faculty shall be
selected with a view to main-
taining the Christian purpose of
the College; and that every un-
dergraduate shall devote two
units of her course program in
the second year to the study of
the sacred Scriptures, with the
opportunity for election of fur-
ther study thereafter.' M

No, this not a statement of the
Christian purpose of Agnes
Scott College; it is Article I,
section 2 of the "Bylaws", of
Wellesley College.

Last spring the final issues of
the "Wellesley News" called
attention to the college's
"Christian purpose" as stated
in the "Bylaws." Chairman
of the Board of Trustees, John
R 0 Quarles, was quoted in the
paper as saying that although
there are presently non-Chris-
tians in the faculty, administra-
tion, and trustees " 'it would
be inconsistent with the terms
under which this property was
given to have a non-Christian
Bible teacher or College pre-
sident.' "

Indeed the college had al-
ready acted under this premise,
as was pointed out by a "Wel-
lesley News" editorial: "...
the department (Bible) had the
opportunity to hire an extreme-
ly able Jewish New Testament
scholar. Although no formal ac-

the Southern Folk Cultural Re-
vival Project, an organization
with headquarters in Atlanta.
Included among the perform-
ers are Mike Seeger, Billy
Ed Wheeler, Esther Lefever,

Roscoe Holcomb and the Blue
Ridge Mountain Dancers.

The members of the Troupe
present a broad spectrum of
experience and talent. Mike
Seeger, of the famed Seeger
family, specializes in tradi-
tional mountain music. A mem-
ber of the Now Lost City
Ramblers trio, he records on
Folkways and Vanguard. He has
appeared at the Newport and
Berkley Folk Festivals.

Roscoe Holcomb from Daisy,
Ky., is a traditional singer
and banjo playerwhose intense,
high tenor voice inspired the
title of a movie, "The High
Lonesome Sound," which de-
picts the music and people of
his region. He records for Folk-
ways and has performed at the
major folk festivals in this
country and in Europe.

candidacy was tentatively
broached to the president, who,
although she was eager to have
non-Christian members added
to the department, discouraged
the proposal on the grounds that
such a person should not be per-
mitted to reach 104 (the basic
course) at least initially."

The "Wellesley News" re-
ported that a "storm of faculty
protest" broke out after this

closed in June for the summer

but the furor did not die. After
Quarles had stated that "there
had never been a policy state-
ment by the board explicating
it," "Wellesley News" editors
sent a letter to all trustees "re-
iterating their hope that the
board would make a statement
of its position concerning the
'Christian purpose' to *help
prevent any continued confusion
and discontent on campus next
fall.' "

Investiture

(Terri Langston cartoon)

'To Everything There Is A Time

This weekend constitutes a very special
time for members of the senior class here
at Agnes Scott. After watching three class-
es buzz with excitement about Investiture,
it is finally time for the Class of 1968 to
enjoy it for themselves and their families.

The Agnes Scott Student Government
Handbook, in a section devoted to Tradi-
tions," defines Investiture as the time when
senior rights and privileges are officially
recognized on this day at capping ceremony
in Gaines Chapel." It goes on to say that
"on Sunday there is a community church
service held in Gaines Chapel."

The PROFILE pointed out last week that
Investiture is traditionally held on the first
Saturday in November. This year there has
been an undercurrent of discontent in the
senior class due to the fact that this first
Saturday happens to coincide with the home-
coming festivities at Georgia Tech.

Granted this is an unfortunate situation
and many seniors are torn between their
loyalties to their class, their school, their
families who have come from out of town,
and last but not least the Tech men in their
lives. But this is not an insurmountable
problem, and it should not be allowed to
dampen the atmosphere of an academic
event which most seniors have anxiously
awaited since their freshman year.

Let's hope that the spirit of Investiture
will pervade the Scott campus just as much
as the "Down with Duke" spirit is evident
at Georgia Tech.

OBSERVATIONS

1

As a senior I feel that I have paased a very
important milestone in my life I have spent
my very last Halloween as a student at Agnes
Scott. This, in a way, is a very sad experience
for where else will I get the chance to trick
or treat (until I have small children of my own
to take.)

This was a very special Halloween for me.
My friends and I had planned to go out and sit
in a sincere pumpkin patch waiting for the
Great Pumpkin. But the rain, along" with a
definite lack of pumpkin patches, put a damper
on that.

One friend did tell us that we were welcome
to come wait in the turnip patch in his back
yard, at which point Helen Davis, in one of her
witty moments, replied, "What are we suppos-
ed to do wait for the Great Turnip to turn
up? M At that we abandoned the idea of the
great turnip.

None of the Agnes Scott students 1 talked to
believed in the Great Acorn, and he won't come
unless his believers make converts, so that
idea was washed out, too.

To solve this problem, Kathy Blee and I
sneakedly volunteered to drive some mem-
bers of Mrs. Pepperdene's 102 class over
to the Halloween party at her house. In this
way, we also invited ourselves to the party.

Friends, let me tell you. If you want to
celebrate Halloween, go see Mrs. Pepper-

dene and Miss Meroney. We roasted marsh-
mellows (would you believe burned them?)
over the fire, ate cookies, drank hot
chocolate, and heard some of Ann Teat's
remembrances of her year in France. Ask her
about John Wayne.

At one point in the evening some teenage
boys came to the door trick or treating. Mrs.
Pepperdene gave them some food, but they
also managed to see into the room. They
audibily gasped at all the girls assembled
there and invited themselves in. They, how-
ever, were turned away. The freshman girls
seemed to be disgusted that the boys thought
they were so young, but we seniors felt a
little differently on the matter.

The Halloween spirit was evident this year
on campus as off. Residents of Main went
trick or treating in Winship, and took treats
with them. Everyone enjoyed or at least ex-
perienced the party in the dining hall, but the
main train of thought was " 1 wish there were
some boys here along with the neat music."

Now however it is November. Eastern
Standard Time has been back almost a week.
It is time for Investiture. And after four
Halloweens at Agnes Scott^. I have yet to really
meet up with the Great Pumpkin. At least I'll
have something good to look forward to as
well as happy memories to look back upon.

earley risings

Clumping rather unmerrily off the big silver bird last Sunday
night, I arrived back in Atlanta, with purse in hand and drama-
mine in tummy after a weekend away from ole ASC. (Yes, Vir-
ginia, there is an Agnes Scott, in spite of what you may try to
make yourself believe.)

I rushed into the terminal and down the escalator to be first
in line to get my baggage when it came off the plane.lt was, of
course, the last two pieces off the cart. But, as it turned out, 1
was just as glad one of the catches on the big suitcase was
unhooked and my wholesome pink-flowered terry cloth bathrobe
was hanging out. Would that it could have been puce chiffon.

After fixing the catch and picking up the big bag in my free
hand, 1 picked up the small suitcase in the other hand which was
already carrying only my coat, my copy of "Vanity Fair", and
my five pound bargain bag of bird seed. Then I headed for the
taxi stands outside blessing the Atlanta airport and its auto-
matically opening doors.

My personal idea of eternal damnation is to be condemned
forever to trying to hail a taxi at the Atlanta airport. Why is it
that I was given the face of a non-tipper as well as the pocketbook
of one?

The poverty-stricken female college student looking for a
taxi has a salvation, however the female cab driver. You,
too, can get a taxi if you find one driven by a motherly-looking
middle-aged woman.

Actually one can get a lady cab driver who is too motherly-
especially when she drives like your mother and gives advice
as well. ("You want what you don't have, but when you get it
you don't want it.").

All the drivers of the Carriage House taxi company are
women. My particular driver was born in Atlanta (and still
didn't know where Agnes Scott was) and had lived here all but
the last three and one-half years of her life. She had been mar-
ried but had no children; she had raised seven foster ones, how-
ever.

She was deserted by her husband when she got too sick to work
and then came back to Atlanta to drive a cab. Now she is the
proud holder of a three room apartment and a "boyfriend."
("I'd have more money and wouldn't have to work so much if I
didn't loan my money out so much.")

We arrived at the college by a rather circuitous route and
were pleasantly complimented on the beauty of the old place
as we drove up (it does look rather neat in the dark.) After
unloading my bags myself (her arthritis, you know), I paid her
and aimed her back toward the expressway hope she found it.

I'm so glad I got to arrive back at ASC in a woman-piloted
Carriage Hou^e taxi cab; nothing could be quite as effective as
coming to these august halls in a yellow and black pick-up truck,
but this almost measured up, and I would have hated to break
my own record. by garley

1750. It is characterized by not
having a written script, but only
a scenario which outlined the
plot, and by using maskedstock
characters.

By 1750, COMMEDIA DELL
'ARTE had become rather vul-
gar, repetitous, and deca-
dent. Carlo Goldoni tried to
reform and revive it by pro-
ducing complete written
scripts. "THE SERVANT OF
TWO MASTERS" is one of his
best works. The plot concerns
a servant who tries to earn
two wages by serving two mas-
ters at once; complications a-
rise from this double service
and from the three pairs of lov-
ers in the play.

The Academy's production
did much to bring out this
spirit, but in doing this, they hid
the sentimental aspects pf the
plat. For example, much of the
Academy's humor is due to the
characters of Beatrice and
Florindo which seem to be
straight lovers in a reading of
the play. The lovers are play-
ed by Page Lee and Steven
Bush, and possibly the expan-
sion of their roles into humor
is due to the fact that they are
two of the strongest actors in
the cast , and director Frank
Wittow is using them to the
greatest advantage.

Also very good in his por-
traya 1 of Pantalone is Chris
Curran. And, playing Truffal-

Decide Which Number To Punch On the LDH Juke Box

Faculty and Students
React to Juke Box

by Elizabeth Crum

Have you seen the new addition to the LDH? You haven't ?
If you haven't seen it, maybe you've heard it. The Lower
Dining Hall has a Juke Box. Tom Lind, of Saga food, said that
the juke box is for student enjoyment and entertainment. How-
ever, the instrument has to pay for itself or it has to go.

Student reaction on the whole
has been one of excitement.
Junior Sherri Yandle thinks
"It's great. It will give peo-
ple a place to come a more
social atmosphere."

But, some of the Professors
aren't so sure that it is help-
ful. Ronald Wilde says, "It
raises the noise level. Every-
body has to yell to hear." In
fact, Michael J. Brown thinks
that the hub might be a better
place for it.

Some students think that it
really adds to college life. Sen-
ior ' Vicky Justice comments,
"It's more like a normal col-
lege campus canteen 0 It's like
the Emory Den. I thr.nk it's

There were many remarks
about the record selection on
the juke box. Senior Cludia
Spana says, "C 4 steals
money." Senior Peggy Moore
'likes the Eggplant that Ate
Chicago' I think there should
be more of that caliber." Bu:
her classmate Betty Derrick
thinks that "Peggy's record
discriminates against cauli-
flower."

But, if you haven't seen or
heard the new juke box, don't
like to eat by music, or don't
like the record selection, you
will want to go hear it. As
freshman Kathryn Humphreys
says, "It's good to hear a male
voice, even if it is on a re-
cord."

Christian Purpose

(CONT. FROM P. 1)
formulated a letter which was
sent to the trustees; it declar-
ed in part that " 'these inter-
pretations seem to call into
question the freedom both per-
sonal and academic, which we
feel essential to our vocation
as educators.' *'

Several members of the
board of trustees responded to
these letters and Quarles pro-
mised that the matter would be
brought before the board at
their October meeting.

In the October 5, 1967 edi-
tion of the "Wellesley News"
the matter was again brought to
the attention of the college. This
issue's editorial called for an
official interpretation of the
clause and advocated the dele-
tion of it from the college ''By
laws" because "The College
community cannot at present
be considered a Christian one
in the sense suggested in the
'Bylaws,' ... we believe that
campus consensus holds know-
ledge, not religion, to be the
ultimate goal of a Wellesley
education."

On October 20, 1967, the
Board of Trustees met and ac-
cepted a revision of Article I,
section 2 of the Wellesley Col-
lege "By laws." The statement
now reads: " 'It is required
that the trustees shall be in
manifest sympathy with the es-
tablished purpose of the College

and that members of the faculty
shall be selected with a view to
maintaining the highest ideals
of education.' "

Chairman of the Board of
Trustees Quarles sent a letter
interpreting the policy to each
member of the faculty stating
that " 'Wellesley College exists
to provide a liberal education
for women, which education ap-
propriately includes an aware-
ness of the shaping significance
of the Christian tradition in
Western culture...Every faculty
member has been and always
should be free to express his or
her own reasoned views on so-
cial, religious, and scholarly
questions.' "

The letter continued that
" 'Wellesley's Christian Pur-
pose implies no form of reli-
gious or intellectual discrimi-
nation. A proper religious faith
supports all of the demanding
and sometimes conflicting fa-
cets of the search for truth.
This freedom to pursue truth
has been Wellesley's commit-
ment in the past and is its com-

mitment for the future.' "

The editorial in the October
26, 1967 issue of the "Wel-
lesley News" commends the
Board of Trustees for placing
their "Christian purpose" "in-
to the proper historical per-
spective" and for reiterating
that "Wellesley is, above all,
an academic institution devot-
ed to the free pursuit of know-
lege and of truth."

The editorial also points out
and applauds the fact that the
Board of Trustees responded to
and acted upon a request from
faculty and students and that in
so doing, bridged a gap in com-
munications between the board
and the college community:
*'We welcome this increased
communication between the po-
licy makers and those who im-
plement and live under this po-
licy after it is made. We hope
that in the future, this openness
will increase; if the resolution
to which this Christian purpose
issue has come is any indica-
tion, we are sure it will."

This group was one of many to fan-out
over Caracas for various course-related

the s.s. RYNDAM, campus and dormitory
for the traveling students and faculty, was
docked in the South American port.
Professor Haven now teaches art courses
at the University of Miami, Florida. His
students have transferred credits earned
aboard the floating campus tg. their home
campuses and have resumed regular
classes. One is from South Dakota,
majoring in Sociology at Tabor College in
Hillsboro, Kansas; another is a junior in Political Science at San Francisco State
College; a third is a sophomore in Latin American Studies at Indiana University and
still another a business student at Santa Monica City College in California.

As you read this, more than 500 students, representing 200 colleges and universities
throughout the country, accompanied by a distinguished faculty, already have
embarked from New York for the Fall 1967 semester which will take them to ports in
Europe, Africa and Asia, returning to Los Angeles via Honolulu.

Students are now enrolling for the Spring 1968 semester and will depart from Los
Angeles to engage in shipboard study supplemented by visits to ports in Peru, Chile,
Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Senegal, Morocco, Spain, Greece, Turkey, Yugoslavia,
Italy, Portugal, The Netherlands and Great Britain, terminating in May in New York.

time. However, even at its
slowest, the play is still very
funny owing to the situations
that arise in Coldoni's script.

A couple of interesting things
happened during the production
which were not a part of the
play, but which helped to con-
tribute to the general enter-
tainment of the evening. Onewas
when the people on lights de-
cided to flash the stage lights
on and off in time to the inter-
mission music. Another thing
that happened several times
throughout the production was
when Truffaldino would com-
pletely break character and ask
the audience for applause for
Florindo's well executed lines.

Commedia dell 'arte is a very
rich tradition of the theatre
and the Academy could have
done more both with Goldoni's
script and with the traditional
comic stage business found in
commedia dell 'arte. But they
did a better than an adequate
job of "The Servant of Two
Masters" which made for a
very enjoyable theatrical ex-
perience.

In 1946 Sir John partially
re-opened the Tate, and the six
years that followed were the
most fruitful of Sir John's di-
rectorship. In 1952 there was
a savage attack on Sir John
which resulted in a controversy
of bitterness without precedent
in the art world. Sir John was
eventually completely exon-
erated and continued his pro-
ductive and creative work at the
Tate until he retired in 1964.
Sir John then became Rector of
St. Andrews University in Scot-
land. Sir
John was one of the few people
in England to recognize the im-
portance of American art and
artists and exhibited attheTate
the first substantial represen-
tation of American art to be

Silent Peace Vigil

The second of the now weekly silent peace vigils was held Wed-
nesday from 12:15 to 1:15 in front of the Agnes Scott Dining Hall.
Participants include students and faculty members. The vigil
is an attempt on the part of these people to demonstrate to the
school some of their feelings about the war in Vietnam. They
stand silently during these hours, but distribute literature to
other students entering the dining hall. Olivia Hicks and Am-
alia Helfgott were among the participants at the peace march
held recently in Washington, D.C., but both declined to comment

Judicial Announces
Policy Re-evaluation

In a joint house meeting November 7, Judicial Chairman Gue
Pardue announced that the board is rescinding the interpretation
which is adopted last year of the Policy Regarding the Use of
Alcoholic Beverages.

The part of the policy which
was in question reads as fol-
lows: "Agnes Scott College ex-
pects her students to uphold the
laws of the state. Under the
statutes of the State of Geor-
gia, a person under twenty-
one can legally neither buy al-
coholic beverages nor be serv-
ed alcoholic drinks without
written permission from her
parents for each specific oc-
casion. When a student is away
from the college she is expect-
ed to know and observe the laws
of the state in which she is
visiting.''

In making the announcement,
Pardue said, "If you are under
21 and drink, you have broken
the state law and the honor
system. A judicial member

would feel obligated to talk to
you." The judicial decision went
into effect with the announce-
ment and is not retroactive.

Pardue said "This is the only
decision that a judicial body can
really reach. In no way can a
judicial body "be in a position
of condoning breaking law."

She went on the say that this
is still "not a rule, and not an
absolute. Freedom and respon-
sibility are already inherent
in the honor system. Some of
us aren't mature enough to
read and understand the honor
system."

The joint house meeting was
followed by hall meetings con-
ducted by judicial representa-
tives who answered questions
concerning the policy.

Representative Council's
November 14 meeting was de-
dicated to the study of Reor-
ganization Committee's Re-
solution Regarding Election
Procedure (RC-38) presented
by committee chairman Tina
Bender.

The reasona^for the resolu-
tion are that "elections depend
on the intelligent voting of the
student body, and candidates
for major offices must demon-
strate their ability to com--
municate their ideas to the
campus."

There are eight resolves in-
volved in this outlined proce-
dure. The first is "that elec-
tion speeches be held during
convocation the first Wednes-
day after Spring vacation."
There was much discussion
about just which candidates
should speak, but since this
part of the resolution is so
flexible, it passed unanimous-

iy.

The second resolve was
"that as soon after election
speeches as possible, an in-
formal discussion be held with
a moderator and a panel com-
posed of the candidates for
board presidents, at which time
campus issues and attitudes will

be discussed. ^ ;This, in es-
sence, was a proposal to re-
place the Hub Razzle which
Bender termed "a real farce."
She said that the only people
attending in the past were the
candidates and that it turned
into a Hub Party.

The discussion concerning
this resolve centered around the
question of structure with Gue
Pardue asking if we are "over-
structuring what could be a
flexible thing?" Tara Swartsel
replied saying that "we have
elections but wedon't have poli-
tics. We need structure to give
elections an identity." In reply
to a question by Mortar Board
President Peggy Moore, Bend-
er said that the subjects dis-
cussed would differ from
speeches in that they would deal
with "general attitudes" about
the issues circulating on the
campus. This resolve, too,
passed unanimously.

The resolve that a person be
allowed to run for only three
student government offices (as
opposed to class offices) pass-
ed by the very narrowest of
margins one. There were 13
for and 12 against with no ab-
stentions. Bender pointed out
that this is necessary because

some people run for everything
in hopes that they'll get some-
thing. Mary Chapman replied
that this decision should not be
legislated because it "curtails
the individual's freedom." A
point in favor of the resolve
was that it would let the people
know what office the candidate
really wants. The basic point
was that one should choose
what she really wants to do in-
stead of just running for an of-
fice. Judicial chairman Gue
Pardue, however, pointed out
that "You can't force people to
be mature."

A related resolve was defeat-
ed by a margin of 15-9 with two
abstentions . This was that "on
the day popular and nominating
committee nominations are
completed, a list of all nomi-
nees be posted by Nominating
Committee." Feelings were
very strong that secret scratch-
ing is essential to the election
procedure here at Agnes Scott.
Moore said ,that When all the
nominees were posted, candi-
dates tended to run for the
office they though they could
get. "Secret scratching forces
a candidate to decide for her-
self, and it is hard to make a

are in line with the attitudes
and opinions of the majority of
students.

The issues designated as ma-
jor issues this year, and thus
subject to the referendum are
Black Power, the Draft, and
Drugs. For the Black Power and
Drug bills, there is the possi-
bility that the decisions of the
individual campuses will cause
them to be written off the books.
Since both a bill and a minor-
ity report were accepted on the
Draft issues, students have a
choice to accept either one or
neither of the alternatives.

At the NSA chapel scheduled
for Thursday, November 30,
there will be an open forum
with speakers for and against
each of the bills and a chance
for individuals to voice opinions.
Ballots will be distributed at
the chapel program which will be
held in Rebekah Recreation
Room. There will also be bal-
lots placed in the mailroom
next to the box provided for
them.

Copies of the bills will be
placed on each hall so stu-
dents may understand what they
are voting for or against. With-
out attempting to give the pro-
visions of the bills, I would like
to list some of the principles
that underh the decisions made.

The Black Power Legisla-
tion includes the principles that:
"Black Power is the establish-
ment of racial pride, identity,
purpose, and direction in order
to secure economic, politicaL
social, and cultural power ana

influence for the black peoples
in America.

"Black Power is the deter-
mination to build a black com-
munity which will be more than
a euphemism for the ghetto.
It is a valid and necessary cry
to the extent that it expresses
the despair of the gradual ab-
sorption of the deserving 'ne-
groes' into general society and
puts its faith instead in col-
lective action aimed at dealing
with a collective fate.

"Black Power is the unifi-
cation of all black peoples in
America for their liberation by
any means necessary."

The Declaration includes: "It
is common knowledge that the
United States Black Man has
been subjected to at least ten
generations of inhuman atroci-
ties and deprivation of liberty
by the white power structure.

"Congressional legislation
has afforded the American Black
Man civil privileges but not
the human rights guaranteed by
the Constitution of the United
States of America.

"Black Power is a sign that
the black man is becoming a
fully functioning individual in
American society. White stu-
dents must no longer put them-
selves in the position of de-
termining what is best for
blacks. Blacks will provide their
own leadership."

The principle behind the Draft
resolution is that: "USNSA be-
lieves that the free and un-
fettered exercise Of civil liber-

Drinking Policy

To drink or not to drink is no longer the
question, unless one happens to be 21
years old. For the person under this ma-
gic age, it should never have been the
question. No college Judicial Board should
ever have presumed to permit students to
interpret or act in opposition to a state law
either consciously or unconsciously.

Judicial Board has recently clearly de-
lineated its position on the Drinking Policy
for students, to what some term the limi-
tation of their freedom. The board has
declared that it did ''what it had to do."
It might have stated more strongly that it
did the only thing that is right. It cannot
have limited a freedom which has never
existed.

The nebulous interpretations, rationali-
zations and generalizations of last year
were just that and no more. We again have
a clear statement of how we must conduct
ourselves "regarding the use of alcohol-
ic beverages." We must, as honorable
people, abide by it until we either change
the law, reach 21 or leave the state.

Life, I suppose, is just a series of traumas, big and little. But
after my two recent ones, philosophizing does nogood. A correc-
tion has to be made and soon.

One would think that as tall as I am (you know, me and the
Empire State Building up there scraping the clouds together)
people would be able to make a reasonable evaluation of my
age. Back when I was a girl, people always thought I was older
than I really was (would you believe payingfull price at the mov-
ies at age eight going on eight and one-half?). Now I seem to have
regressed.

I thought I was doing all I could to look and act my twenty
years, but apparently it isn't enough. I now part my hair in the
middle like my Victorian ancestors hanging in the heavy oak
frame over the mantel at my grandmother's and I've completely
given up wearing bows.

Lack of sleep has given my eyes a nice myopic squint and at
a distance the circles under mv eves could easily be taken for the
crepey skin of maturity. I'm also developing a nice set of round
shoulders (as my father frequently reminds me).

Even my clothes have a mature look they're down right
old, in more ways than one. I'll admit they do have a rather colle-
gaite look, but it's the kind I cultivated in high school and by look-
ing at the vintage of my wardrobe, anyone should be able to tell
that I'm a poverty-stricken college junior.

What am I to do? It looks like the only thing left for me is to
streak my hair prematurely gray and if I wait a few more
months I may not have to do it artificially*

What occasioned the above tirade? You guessed it, I was
carded. No they didn't ask for my I. D. when I was trying to order
an illegal drink. I had to show my Agnes Scott College identifi-
cation card (number 84) to prove that I was old enough to get in
to see "Ulysses'..

Oh, the embarrassment of it all! But I suppose the day will
come when I'll be happy to be thought thirty-five again, much
less seventeen.

My second trauma? It occured at breakfast and I'm horrified
at my own cruelty. I found a nice, harmless, unassuming, little
weevil in my Special K and I wantonly killed it with the blunt
end of my knife. I can only plead temporary insanity as a result
of my previous trauma; I just lost my head and took out all my
frustration on that innocent little lamb, 'er, bug.

When the Profile Associate
Editor asked me to attend "Far
from the Madding Crowd" and
review it for the newspaper, I
was so eager to see the movie
that I avidly accepted the "as-
signment" without really consi-
dering the consequence i.e.,
this written review. I am not
in the least a theatre critic, I
have never written a review of
this kind before, and my love
for Thomas Hardy is my only
qualification which in any way
fits me for writing such an
article. I am the type who
usually becomes so interested
in and enthralled by a movie that
I almost unconsciously let any
critical facilities I possess lie
dormant as I give myself over
to pure enjoyment. Therefore,
I offer my somewhat limited
observations to any typical,
average moviegoers among
PROFILE readers.

An English professor wrote
in the Clemson literary maga-
zine: "...though Hardy doesn't
have much to teach us about
the modern novel, a writer can
learn a good bit from him about
the importance that place
setting and background can
have in a book and how it can
be used to support action and
character." For my part I con-
sider the first part of the state-
ment as his opinion only, but the
last part is definitely correct.

The movie depends greatly
on the background of the Eng-
lish countryside to give mean-
ing and depth to its portrayal
of the story, a tale which be-

by Tina Brownley

cause of the many plot contri-
vances and intricacies and sub-
tle psychological overtones and
changes can only be adapted
imperfectly to the screen.
The photography of the land-
scape is superb, and the picture
dramatically presents just as
does Hardy the power of nature
(as in the scene where Gabriel
covers the ricks) as a vital
force in the whole universe and
in the experience of the individ-
ual.

The problems emerge, as
they inevitably do in any sit-
uation, from the people. Bath-
sheba Everdene stands in Har-
dy's work as an intermediate
female, more carefully de-
lineated artistically than sim-
ple coquettes such as Fancy
Day in the earlier novels, but
less sensitive and complicated
than such masterful creations
as Eustacia Vye, "the raw
material of a divinity," and Sue
Bridehead. Julie Christie per-
forms quite well as the flighty,
willful girl but fails to portray
convincingly deeper aspects and
attributes of the character of
Bathsheba.

Peter Finch as Boldwood is
relatively believable, but
Terence Stamp as Troy has
little to recommend him except
that look in his eyes to which
every female instinctively res-
ponds. The character of Gabriel
Oak gains more from the scenes
which through action depict his
closeness to and understanding
of nature than from any acting
on the part of Alan Bates.

But the rustic countrymen
forming as a sort of Greek tra-
gic chorus the backdrop of and
commentary on the story are
engaging and enjoyable. Scenes
showing them working with the
primitive machines of the era
excellently show the juxtaposi-
tion of the industrial age on
the agricultural, the dualism
which Hardy mirrored in most
of his works. The singing and
dancing of the rustics is pre-
sented visually in true Hardy
style.

My love for Hardy's work
proved in the end a bias rather
than a helpful aid, for I tended
to like the parts which reflect-
ed his words, style, and outlook
and to dislike sections which
were obviously reworked for
ease of filming. The movie is
all in all a Hardyesque pro-
duction, although the motion
picture medium is limited be-
cause it cannot convey a sense
of the passage of time as can a
book nor can it prepare the
readers for certain events for
which a detailed buildup is
needed as a novelist is able to
do. The movie definitely re-
flects the Victorian Period, and
presents many concepts (such
as social rank as a determinant
in marriage) which were impor-
tant to Hardy but are rather
foreign to present-day thinking.
Within these certain limits,
"Far from the Madding Crowd"
is a movie with uneven interest
and appeal of character and
plot, but a panorama almost
always visually pleasing.

John Davidson Captures
Atlanta Crowd at Concert

On November 11 the Atlanta
Municipal Auditorium was
amazingly full of young people
who had come to hear John
Davidson in concert. From the
moment that he appeared,
Davidson commanded the atten-
tion of the audience; and when
when the concert was over, he
had succeeded in "capturing"

Apply Now
For Federal
Employment

Students interested in ob-
taining a summer job with the
federal government should be
making plans right now to take
the Summer Employment Ex-
amination.

This examination provides
an opportunity to compete on
a competitive basis for summer
jobs in federal agencies. It is
required for all applicants, in-
cluding those who were 1967
applicants or employees.

Special notice should betaken
of the fact that the Summer
Employment Examination, in-
stead of the previous (Jepart-
mentaf exam, is now given for
all temporary employment in
the Post Office Department.
Applications should be turned
in early to receive maximum
consideration. Agencies may
begin making selections after
applicants applying by Decem-
ber 8, 1967, have been tested
and entered on the list of eli-
gibles. The earlier the appli-
cation is in and the test taken,
the greater the opportunity for
selection.

For further information re-
garding types of locations of
available jobs, check with the
Vocational Placement Office,
Room 9, Buttrick, to obtain
the booklet entitled "Summer
Jobs in Federal Agencies." Ap-
plication forms for the exami-
nation are alsocontained in this
booklet.

the crowd. Such an experience
is something for which all per-
formers search. The interest
of the audience only heightened
as John Davidson revealed his
pleasure with the response he
evoked.

Not many show business peo-
ple are as sincere and good-
natured as John Davidson. He
was cordial even when called
upon at 11:00 P.M. in his Re-
gency Hotel room although he
had to remain behind the door
because of lack of proper cloth-
ingl

Even his personal life is in-
teresting. After graduating
from Denison University with an
A.B. in Theatre Arts, John
Davidson, the son of a Baptist
minister, was discovered by
Bob Banner three years ago.
Throughout the summer of 1966
he starred on the KraftSummer
Music Hall with great success.
Having signed a five-year con-
tract with ABC, Eavidsonwants
next to do a weekly variety show
on television.

Although singing is his great
enjoyment, Davidson has also
made two movies for Walt Dis-
ney Studios one of which, "The
Happiest Millionaire," is to be
released soon. However, as he
said in an interview November
4, his ambition is to become a
song artist in the manner of
Harry Belafonte. When he sings,
he wants to communicate feel-
ing for the music and for the
lyrics to his listeners. Saturday
night John Davidson presented
a variety of popular songs in-
cluding: "The Beat Goes On,"
"There's a Kind of a Hush,"
"Mame," "What Now My
Love?'', "Today/ "Theme
from 'A Man and a Woman'."
During the concert he displayed
his versatility by playing the
banjo and the guitar for his

renditions of old-time favorites
and folk songs .

Happiest when performing,
John Ebvidson expressed, dur-
ing a press interview, special
interest in his 1967 tour because
of the excitement of playing be-
fore college audiences. Typical
of his format on the Kraft
Summer Music Hall, he played
what he calls "The Game"
during his concert in Atlanta."
"The Game " consisted of
Davidson's walking through the
audience and -asking couples
when they had met. He then sang
tunes that were popular in that
year. His repertoire was quite
impressive.

Also appearing in the concert
was a team of British come-
dians, who were amusing in the
typical dry wit manner of the
English although some of their
material seemed contrived.

They satirized the Great So-
ciety, the British Broadcasting
Company, the United Nations (by
far the most entertaining of their
satires), and the poet Words-
worth. The comedians' finale
was a pantomime of a fan dance
in which John Davidson took
part. All in all the John David-
son Show was an uncontestable
success undoubtably because of
the versatility, talent, and per-
sonality of Davidson himself.

Yale University Changes
To Total Pass-Fail System

by Kay Parkerson *

Scott Wins Over Furman,
Winthrop

Yale l/niversity has justvot-
ed to go on a complete pass-
fail grading system. It will
start next January and run for
at least five years. Although
Yale's graduate school has been
on this type of a system for
some time, this is the first
case in the United States of an
undergraduate institution do-

Saturday, November 11, saw
Agnes Scott hosting Winthrop
and Furman Colleges in a
Hockey Sports Day.

The two Agnes Scott teams
were made up of members of
last year's hockey varsity
teams and this year's class
teams. Two games were play-
ed in the morning and two more
in the afternoon. A Hub party
was held afterwards for all
players and officials.

In the morning games Scott
tied the Winthrop team with a
1 to 1 score and beat the team
from Furman 2 to. 1 with the
two Scott goals made by Vir-
ginia Russell and Lou Frank.
The afternoon games saw Ag-
nes Scott win over Winthrop
College 2 to 1 and lose the
final game with the Furman
team.

Seniors Are
Undefeated
In Hockey

Friday, November 10, the
senior hockey team romped
over the freshmen 4-0 to re-
main unbeaten and unscored
upon. The juniors and the sopho-
mores played to a 2-2 dead-
lock.

The seniors didn't waste any
time in scoring. Zolly Zolli-
coffer and Lucy Rose each
scored a goal, and Gue Pardue
scored two.

The junior-sophomore game
was a skilled, hard fought duel.
The sophomore forward line
struck early. Both goals, scor-
ed by Cornelia De Lee, came
within two minutes of each
other. On the opening play of the
second half, Sally Raeburn
scored for the juniors. Libby
Potter was the other scorer for
the Raggedy-Anns.

Techmate Develops
New Questionnaire

by Jo Callaway

Students operating Georgia Tech's computer dating program,
Techmate, declared that the first year's program was success-
ful. They were able to get complete administrative and financial
support. On the basis of an analysis of last year's questionnaire
they have designed a new longer questionnaire.

They have dispensed with
several non-discriminating
questions. Almost everyone de-
cided that by now miniskirts
and Beatle haircuts are ac-
cepted facts. Other questions
were found to be redundant or
to overlap extensively. Last
year those who rated them-
selves as very affectionate, also
rated themselves as sentimen-
tal. And they dropped two ques-
tions on smoking: 1) Do you
smoke? and '2) Do you care if
your date smokes?, in favor of
simply, Do you object to smok-
ing?

One serious problem with
last year's operation was the
fact that many steady couples
filled out questionnaires to see
if they would be matched. This
year Techmate has added this
question--Are you now dating
one person regularly?, in an at-
tempt to divide those who are not
seriously interested in meeting
people to date from those who
are.

More emphasis is put on
personality traits which are im-
mediately revealed and would
thus influence the impression
made on the first few dates.
Some of these are friendliness
are readiness to debate or dis-
cuss areas of conflict.

Since they have a new com-
puter program this year and
more time alloted for use of
the computer, Techmate can

accept more questionnaires.
They also will probably have
time to run all boys through
with all girls and toiru.tcheach
boy with girls he would like and
each girl with boys she would
like.

This new program and ex-
tension of time also allows the
use of the new section in which
each applicant weights heaviest
the sections he or she feels
most important. This one new
aspect will probably mean that
students will not be matched
with the same persons they
were matched with last year.

Students managing the pro-
gram have received expert ad-
vice in formulating the ques-
tionnaire from Dr. Sam Webb,
Dean of the Genera 1 College
at Tech and from Mrs. Jeanne
Murray of the Information
Science Department. And they
have received sponsorship by

naires are distributed.

ing this.

Numerical grades no longer
will be given and instead stu-
dents will receive honors, high
pass, pass, and fail.

Yale will also stop compiling
cumulative averages for each
student, and there will be no
class standings or honor lists
as such. Graduates will find the
situation a little different how-
ever when they try to enter
graduate school. Whereas be-
fore they could rely on their
averages or class standings to
be accepted, now more em-
phasis will be placed on the
personal recommendations of
their professors. Yale does not
foresee any additional difficulty
for their students who apply
to schools not on a pass-fail
system.

It could be a different story
however for someone under
iimilar drawbacks from a
smaller less-known college
also on a pass-fail system. The
supporters of the new system,
who have fought for some time
to bring it about, have hailed
the new policy as a "moving
away from the pseudo-scien-
tific claims of the numbers
system", and an affirmation
of "more concern for thequali-
ty of a student's work in terms
of his own ability."

Even here at Agnes Scott a
modified pass-fail system has
been in effect since the begin-
ning of this year. And surpris-
ingly enough, this is somewhat
similar to Agnes Scott's pre-
vious policy of grading. For up
until 1949, Agnes Scott only
gave three grades for work

done: Merit, Pass, and Fail.
However, while Yalewill record
only Honors, High Pass, Pass,
and Fail on student records,
Agnes Scott, under the old
system, recorded the grades as
letter grades and compiled
grade averages and quality
points. Students were only in-
formed of having made merit,
pass or fail. Widespread curio-
sity on the part S students
about their "real" grades led
to the present letter system
in 1949.

Who knows? We may still
return to that system in the
future, and pat ourselves on the
back at our progress.

College Officials Announce
Master Expansion Plan

A PRELIMINARY STUDY PLAN OF LONG RANGE

Future Campus Growth Planned by Clyde D. Robbins

Accompanist Tells
Of Dance Program

by Marsha Williams

Friday morning during the Chapel period, the Agnes Scott
Dance Group will present its Christmas program - a wonderful
gift to those who will be able to appreciate it. As their accom-
panist, I have watched them create their personal Christmas
greeting, and now I want you to know what to watch for, now
to read their message.

The officials of Agnes Scott
College announced recently a
master plan for growth and ex-
pansion during the remainder
of this century. Land acquisi-
tion as well as additional aca-
demic, housing, and service
units are parts of these pro-
jections which were explained
at convocation November 29.

A special Agnes Scott trus-
tee committee, of which H. G.
Pattil o is chairman, is spear-
heading this long-range de-
velopment. Other members of
the committee are Hal L. Smith,
Alex P. Gaines, John A. Sib-
ley, Wilton D. Looney, and J.
Davison Philips.

Alex Gaines, vice-chairman
of the Board of Trustees, and
Clyde D. Robbins of Atlanta,
the college's official campus
planner, announced publicly this
long-range campus program. It
is the outgrowth of an exten-
sive four-months' basic plan-
ning study undertaken by Rob-
bins to determine "the present
and foreseeable future circum-
stances o! Agnes Scott College
with respect to its physical
environment and to translate
these factors into workable pro-
grams of land acquisition and
receom mended community ac-
tion."

According to the study, logi-
cal expansion of the college
plant would be largely to the
east and to a lesser extent
south of the present campus.
Long-range plans call for an
academic complex across South
C andler Street from the present
campus with a dormitory de-
velopment in the area south of

Christmas. Perhaps more im-
portant, you mu:3t be ready to

den's Merry Christmas hop, or

you must sigh at the quiet beauty
of tender moments danced by

Hazelwood Serves
As w 71 President

The freshman class, during the past two weeks, has completed
elections of class officers.

Karen Hazelwood, who was
elected class president, is from

Thomaston, Ga. where she
graduated from R.E. Lee In-
stitute. There she was presi-
dent of the National Honor So-
ciety and was Miss R. E. Lee.
She was the 1966 governor of
Georgia Girls' States

The class vice-president is
Gayle Gellerstedt of Atlanta.
Jan Roush, from Carrollton,
Ga., is the secretary-treasur-
er. Sallie Daniel and Jane Quill-
man were elected to Judicial
Council, and Betheda Fries and
Angie Jarrett to Representative
Council.

New members of Christian
Association are Evelyn Brown
and Harriet Gatewood. Fran
Fulton and Sue Russ were elect-
ed to serve on Athletic Asso-
ciation. Social CO'.ncil's fresh-
man members are Anne Ho rten-
stine and Genie Klinger.

Elizabeth Sharp is the fresh-
man representative to Arts
Council. Bernie Todd is the
class spirit chairman.

The freshman elections were
conducted by members of Mor-
tar Board.

Winnona Drive and east of South
Candler Street.

It is anticipated that the ulti-
mate boundaries of the campus
will generally be Adams Street
on the West, College Avenue on
the north, Avery Street on the
east, and the lowlying creek
area in the vicinity of Kirk
and Oakview Roads to the south.

One of the most significant
proposals of the study is the
de-emphasizing of South Cand-
ler Street as a major north-
south traffic artery. This plan
would be accomplished through
the construction of a traffic
connector just to the south of
the projected campus, thereby
routing traffic from South
Candler Street to athroughfare
west of the college. Such a
development not only would tie
north-south traffic more di-
rectly into Clairmont Avenue,
thus improving the traffic flow
through the city of Decatur,
but also would greatly assist
Agnes Scott in expanding to the
east of South Candler.

It was strongly emphasized

by college officials that the
realization of this program will
be gradual. Acquisition of the
property involved will extend
over a period of years.

In commenting on the total
plan, President Wallace M.Al-
ston said "Mr. Clyde D. Rob-
bins' study of Agnes Scott's
campus and its related neigh-
borhood, recently adopted in
principle by the Board of Trus-
tees of the College, is both
timely and constructive. It will
doubtless become the basic
guide in the College's land ac-
quisition and land-use program
for years to come. It is evident
that the achievement of both the
immediate and the long-range
objectives of the plan depends
upon the cooperation andl^food,
good will of community leaders
and college friends. The reac-
tion of the Agnes Scott Board of
Trustees to the Robbins' study
emphasizes Agnes Scott's iden-
tification with Decatur and the
desire of the College to do
everything possible to strengthen
and enrich the life of the com-
munity."

Glee Club Presents

The Agnes Scott College Glee Club, under the direction of
Theodore K. Mathews, will present its annual Christmas Con-
cert December 10, at 7:30 p.m. in Presser.

"Glory to God in the Higest"
by Hammerschmidt.

The second section, "Adora-

tion," includes "AdoramusTe"*
by Orlando di Lasso, "No Ros -
of Such Vertu" by Dorothy
Smith, and "He Came Here for
Me" by Ron Nelson.

In the third section called
"Wonder, Legend, Joy" are
"O Magnum Mysterium" by
Tomas Luis de Victoria, 'The
Miracle of Saint Nicholas" a
Medieval French carol, and a
Medley of Carols arranged by

OBSERVATIONS

Since this is my lastchance to make obser-
vations for 1967, I'll just take advantage of it
and make several varied and astute? com-
ments.

For the first one, we'll choose the enter-
tainment field and movies in particular.
Paul Newman's latest film, typically, is
thought provoking, entertaining, and well
done. "Cool Hand Luke" is the story of a man
arrested for pulling the tops off of parking
meters and sentenced to serve two years on
a Southern road gang.

Luke's experiences on the gang and his re-
lationships with the other convicts relate quite
a tale. The acting in the moviefrom Newman
and the other characters is superb.
Some of my more intellectual friends spent a
great deal of time in interpreting this movie.
Now that they have pointed out to me that
Newman portrays both a Christ figure and a
Moses figure, 1 wonder why I didn't notice
both in the first place. Could be I was more
involved with the Newman figure.

At any rate this movie is quite different
from the 1 run-of-the-mill "flick" being
produced today and is well worth seeing and
discussing.

Speaking of being different, it is now time
for us to move on to the subject of books.
"Come Sweet Death" by B. D. Napier can
make for an afternoon of-no not enjoyable
provocative reading. I say "an afternoon"
because once you begin this quintet from
Genesis you won't be able to put it down. And

learle

once you've read it, it will stay with you for
a long time.

The poems include the stories of the Gar-
den, the Brothers, the Flood, the Tower, and
the Land. They are told in "fresh modern
idiom" by Napier, formerly professor of Old
Testament Literature and Master of Calhoun
College at Yale University. He is presently
Dean of the Chapel and Professor of Religion
at Stanford University.

Well we've covered movies and books,
let's move on in our rambling way to music.
A recommendation for an aDDropriate way to
-begin Christmas is the Spel man- Mo re house-
Atlanta University Christmas Concert.
This year it will be held at 8 p.m. on the
nights of December 8, 9, and 10. The concert
is always excellent and a moving experience.
Try to make it if you can, preferably going
early, for the Sisters Chapel at Spelman is
always nearly full by 45 minutes before the
concert begins.

Last and certainly not least, I want to bring
greetings from one of Agnes Scott's favorite
people. I talked with Sylvia Chapman when I
was in New York recently, and she sends
greetings to all. She is working on her mas-
ter's degree in counseling at Columbia
University, is doing fine, but says she misses
everyone very much.

So much for 1967 and "Observations." See
ya in 1968 and winter quarter. Good luck
to everyone on exams, and Merry Christmas.

Overheard

I may as well start off with my apologies to Evelyn Angeletti's
brother. There is really no offense intended here, it's just that
everybody has his own private superstition and I am no exception.
Some people have private superstitions about things like the
number four mine just happens to be about Freds, in any size,
shape or manifestation.

It all started back in high school when I was a child and little
Freddie Casement sat in front of me during homeroom and four
out of six classes (there were no Us in those classes).

Little Freddie had oily hair, long dirty fingernails, pudgy
lips, a high voice and a crush on me. He used to turn sideways
in his desk and flatter me. I really didn't mind the flattery I
need all the encouragement I can get it was just when he
drooled on my papers that I got upset. The ink ran, you know, and
I hated to have to use indelible ink because I always spilled it
on myself.

But June, 1965, did come and little Freddie and I both gradu-
ated and went on to bigger and better things he to a Bible
college for Faith-healing evangelists and I to Agnes Scott (some-
times I wonder if there's much difference). I also graduated to
bigger, not not necessarily better, Freds.

Even during spring quarter of my freshman year, the dating
situation was looking rather grim; when I was offered a blind
date with Fred Pawmee, I closed my eyes and accepted. That
was the last time I closed my eyes anywhere near him. Yes,
friends, old Fred was rather handy notwith tools, you under-
stand, but in other ways. How many boys do you know who can
back you into a corner while he's driving a car?

Well, thatfirstdateproducedinme whatl have come to call the
nose-flattening syndrome, a curious female condition brought on
by the necessity of staring out you/ car window concentratedly
for four straight hours. But, Ihavealways been partial to second
chances and rehabilitation so I went out with Fred a second time
on a picnic to observe the marvels of nature. The only marvel
of nature that I observed was the creeping crud which crept all
over the back of my leg after I got back to school. It turned out to
be a not-so-curious disease known as poison ivy. I suddenly de-
cided that I had to give this Fred up.

Summer came and brought with it the usual sunburn and an-
other Fred. I met Fred the Lion at the Flat Rock Playhouse where
he and I both worked, I as costume mistress and Fred as an
apprentice and my self-appointed shadow. Fred was chubby,
cuddlely and clumsy.. One day Fred was in the costume room
while I was fitting his lion costume for "A Midsummer Night's
Eream." He was working on his tail control when he swept a
pair of sissors off a counter to fall and stick up in my instep. I
carry the mark still.

Last year was barren of Freds until I started applying for
summer jobs. I was very excited about the prospects of a job
at an advertising agency; I had filled out an application and they
even asked when my spring vacation was so that I could come
for an interview. I arrived at their offices last spring with hope
in my heart and a Fred waiting to interview me. I didn't get the
job and I'll always wonder why.

I met my Fred for this year over the Thanksgiving holidays
and he may just have changed my whole outlook on Freds im-
human ones, that is, for my new Fred is a fine specimen of a

cat. When I met him he didn't scratch me or anything. In fact, he
jumped right up in my lap and left orange hairs all over my red

can't tell one hair from another. I feel that 1 might be able to
establish some permanent rapport with this Fred; I'm sure it
would be good therapy and I can go on from here to other rela-

My apologies again to Freddy Angeletti and all the other
unassuming Freds of the world. The names in this piece were
changed to protect the innocent.

It is a known fact that of the
12 plays that Theatre Atlanta
is doing this season, few, if any,
can be considered as great dra-
matic pieces. And, perhaps
the play whose selection has
been most criticised is "Mac-
Bird!"

Holds Career
Conference

Juniors and seniors planning
their futures in the South will
have an opportunity during the
Christmas Holidays for career
interviews with representa-
tives from nearly 100 com-
panies operating in Georgia.

Sponsored by the Georgia

State Chamber of Commerce,
this "Careers in Georgia
Placement Program" will be
held in the Exhibit Hall of the
Marriott Motor Hotel in Atlanta
on Wednesday and Thursday,
December 27-28. Personnel
executives conducting the inter-
views will represent both busi-
ness corporations and govern-
mental agencies of local scope
seeking to fill more than 25
different types of job classi-
fications.

Harold Clotfelter, State
Chamber President, emphasiz-
ed the program is for the con-
venience of students and em-
ployers, adding that the Cham-
ber's interest lies in retention
in this area of well-qualified
young people who might other-
wise seek employment in other
regions. "We need to keep more
of our brightest youths at home
by acquainting them with the
many promising positions now
awaiting them here", he said.

Students interested in the in-
terview program should write

ment Committee", Georgia

logue was incorporated well in
a cast of characters which was
extremely varied.

The simplicity of the setting
was artfully represented on the
stage with symmetry and effec-
tive sparseness by Cathy Colli-
cutt, scenery chairman and
Carolyn Gray, lighting chair-
man. And the use of interpre-
tative dancing, under the direc-
tion of Caroline Byrum, cor-
responded to and enriched the
setting and mood # The women
reapers in the opening prelude
were particularly good in cap-
turing the simple yet stylized
pattern the author tries to con-
vey.

Carol Ann McKenzie as the
Moon, in her frighteningly lumi-
nous costume, Marilyn Wooten
as Death with her ghastly at-
tire and countenance, and Carol
Thomas, Lennard Smith, and
Janet Hunter as the three trees
with their beautifully moaning
voices added much to creating
a convincingly eerie atmos-
phere.

The characters themselves
showed much to the praised,
especially the women. Joanna
Reed as the Mother and the do-
minant force throughout the
play, captured and conveyed
the psychological character of
a strong, old woman well. Her
strength helped offset the often-
time bunglesomeness of Bob
Keeley who played her son.

Cathi Ford in her effective
and sympathetic portrayal of
the rejected wife helped con-
vince us of the manliness and
attraction of Chester Clarke
who played Leonardo.

Hope Gazes, in facial appear-
ance and costume, beautifully
fit the part of the Bride, and
Beth Herring forebodings,
covered up comically by forced
gaiety and singing, added much
to the overtones of tension in
the domestic situation.

Vladimir Volkoff and Martha
Eddins helped substantiate the
traditional Spanish family back-
ground on which the Mother's
tragedy is based, by their ex-
cellent portrayals of two small
but significant character roles,
those of the Bride's Father and
the Mother-in-Law.

The Blackfriars actresses,
under the direction of Roberta
Winter, are to be compliment-
ed on successfully carrying the
weight of the play. Even in the

large group scenes they usually
managed to cover up many of the
somewhat embarrassing blund-
ers made by the less experienc-
ed male members of the chorus.'

The overall mood and tone
of Lorca's play was convincing-
ly represented to the audience
--a difficult and noteworthy
accomplishment for American
actors and an accomplish-
ment which made "Blood Wed-
ding" an enjoyable and success-
ful production of which Black-
friars should be justly proud.

The script by Barbara Gar-
son has been called many things
such as tasteless, crude, ob-
noxious, and sophomoric. In-
deed, it is a very controversial
play, but I prefer to think of it
as Jay Broad does in his "Di-
rector's No'-es" when he re-
fers to "MacBird!" as " 'a
healthy, lusty, vengefu! stage
cartoon,' " for it is just that.

Whatever the script can be
criticised for being, Theatre
Atlanta for the most part did a
masterful production of it.
"MacBirdl" is a fumy play,
a very funny play. Of course,
one must view it in the right
frame of mind and this, as Jay
Broad also points out, is that
"MacBirdl" is not simply at-
tack on our government, but a
great affirmation of freedom-
for where else in :he world
could a comedy be presented
that attacks the nation's lead-
ers?

Basically, the play is a sa-
tiric take-off from "Macbeth"
that involves the Kennedy as-
sassination and Johnson's ride
to the presidency. Duncan be-
comes John Ken O'Dunc (Pre-
sident Kennedy), and Macbeth
becomes MacBird (President
Johnson). The action begins at
the Democratic Convention
when John Ken O'Dunc wins the
Presidential nomination. He is
crowned, names Robert Ken O'
Dune as his heir, and then goes
to visit the Texas domaine of

the MacBird Clan. While on
that visit, he is killed, and Mac-
Bird takes over as Prudent.
The rest of the play focuses on
MacBird's thirst for power and

on the growing antagonism be-
tween the Ken O'Du ics and the
MacBirds as Robert tries to
take away MacBird's crown.

Barbara Garson has used
Macbeth for her plot outline and
for some of the characters* but
she has also added much of her
own. Especially enjoyable are
her characters such as thejEgg

of Head (Adlai Stevenson), the
Earl of War i.i, Lord Everette,
and McNamara, Lord of War.

The acting, for the most part,
was very good. Theatre Atlanta
applied the cartoon idea to the
characters so that the produc-
tion was as if political cartoons
had come to life. Character
traits, facial features, and ac-
cents were all exaggerated. Al-
though this speaks for all the
characters, it can especially
apply to the title role of Mac-
Bird. When actor Jim Garner
stepped onto the stage as Lyn-
don Johnson, the resemblance
was uncanny; when he opened
his mouth, one really wondered

if perhaps Theatre Atlanta had
somehow managed to get the
President to portray himself.

Also to be commended lor
Lheir excellence in their roles
are Stuart Culpepper as John
Ken O'Dunc, Terrell Bennett
as Robert Ken O'Dunc, and Ar-
lene Nadel, Arthur Burghardt,
and Clarence Felder as the
three Witches.

If "MacBirdI" seem? to be
an attack on Johnson, it is
equally an attack on the Ken-
nedys. The satire goes very
deep; sometimes, v it becomes

High Rents, Tourists

Drive Hippies from Frisco

Once there was a group of
highly imaginative, Bohemian
people who lived in the Haight-
Ashbury district of San Fran-
cisco. Among them were musi-
cians and artists, many who
used drugs fairly regularly.
These people no longer live in
Haight-Ashbury.

They have been driven out by
high rents, tourists, and the
fact that what was once a
community has now become
merely a place to live. It is
difficult to say who came to
Haight-Ashbury first, the hip-
pies or the newspapermen. In
any event the press turned a
community group into a na-
tional movement, warning that
the number of hippies would
grow and fulfilling the prophecy
by writing endless stories about
the hippies.

Fascinated by the defects of
their society, middle class
Americans read the articles
about hippies with absorption
the hippies seemed to them a
threat to their life. They focus-
ed their attention on hippies,
for whom "inarticulate" is not
a strong enough word, and not
on intellectual critics who have
been rejecting middle class
society for years, for one sim-
ple reason: the hippies, being
a middle class movement, were
not really rejecting middle
class values at all. Instead they
were trying to find antidotes to
middle class hangups, pri-
marily sex and boredom.

The hippies prescribed
drugs, and middle class society
became obsessed with evaluat-
ing this prescription's remedial
powers. Either you were for it
or against it. Among those who
decided for it were thousands
of college students across the

that needs to be shared. Next,
the dancers work individually to
find new movements, expres-
sive, powerful new words in
their language of dance. Miss
Byrum presses her hands to-
gether, says, "Now, how shall
we begin," and the dance
grows. The movements must
then be perfected, blending the
intensities of emotion, har-
monizing the "voices" of the
solos and the groups. Finally,
the unity of theme is maintain-
ed, but its varied aspects are
vividly displayed.

You will see Christmas as
it is often desecrated, and you
may not like realizing that
Christmas words so often heard
are so often empty. The Dance
Group has taken a good look at
Christmas, and will present
what it has found to you. Yes,

country. Even the most en-
trenched gin-and-tonic set in
the fraternities began to spon-
sor pot parties (not without a
twinge of guilt, of course). But
others condemned the use of
drugs, citing statistics and
studies on the dangers of LSD
and marijuana. (Had any of
them stopped to compare how
many people are killed by LSD
with, for example, how many
are killed on the highways?)
The important thing, though,
was to have an opinion, and
"Time", "Newsweek" and Harry
Reasoner obliged.

The hippie movement grew
tremendously. "Summer hip-
pies" and "weekend hippies"
became more common than the
real thing, and, of course, all
came from the middle class.
That so many people found it so
easy to shift roles back and
forth made it clear that the real
issue in the hippie movement
was not middle class im-
morality as the hippies claim-
ed, but middle class boredom.
Who wanted to stay at home
watching TV when you could go
outside and receive stimula-
tion from psychedelic lights.
Marijuana was popular for the

simple reason that itcould turn
the most prosaic of atmosphere
into an interesting one.

Lost in the shuffle were the
original hippies and the ideals
they believed in. "Community"
became four or five holding
hands together. "Truth" be-
came whatever you thought of
when you were high. And
"grooving together" became an
excuse to avoid the conflicts
between people that lead to
understanding. If someone be-
gan to hint that maybe some-
thing you said was not quite
right, you stopped him, telling
him he was "blowing your
mind." To be a hippie was to
have a fragile mind.

So what have the hippies
contributed? They have, hope-
fully, dispelled a few myths
about the evil powers of mari-
juana. They have opened up a
new world in clothing styles
and popular music. They have
made non-violence the creed
of thousands; and perhaps also
they have made middle class
society a little more conscious
of its own hypocrisy.

But have they gotten closer
to a more basic honesty? The
answer has to be no: here,

perhaps as in any mass move-
ment, the majority seem to
have deceived themselves, con-
fusing grooving together for
understanding.

It is apparent the hippie
movement will not last, if for
no other reason than that people
usually become uncomfortable
after living with a myth for a
while. New movements, aided by
the compulsive media, will
come along, grow, and decline.

But the hippies have reached
their pack. The end will come
when too many of them dis-
cover that the vision they were
constructing was not new. It
was just good old middle class
hedonism, concealed by beads
and flashing lights.

Magazine Addresses
Mrs. Agnes S. Coll

The United States Post Office
has seen many comical addres-
ses in the mails, but one of the
best came to the Agnes Scott
Library recently.

The address was "Mrs. Ag-
nes Scott Coll, Library, Deca-
tur, Georgia.*' The letter from
a popular magazine read in
part:

"Dear Mrs. Coll:

It's not often that I have the
pleasure or such a special
reason for writing a personal
note to one of our subscribers.

But right now- -during Pre-

uncomfortable as it strikes too
close to home, especially when
John Ken O'Dunc is killed. But,
it is still very funny. To see
Lady MacBird's guilt turn inr.o
an obsession to beautify the
country by throwing artificial
flowers all over, to see the
Ken O'Duncs dressed as prep
school football players in knick-
e rs and shoulder pads, to see the
Earl of Warren as a blind dunce
carrying balance scales on his
shoulders, and to see Mc-
Namara as a Chinese War
Lord all of these ,^a re very
funny satires even if they some-
rimes seem a little too true.

So, if you are thinking about
seeing "MacBirdl," do more
than just think about it go,
for I think it is the finest pro-
duction that I've seen Theatre
Atlanta do. But, don't go unless
you can open-mi ndedly view it
as a "healthy, lusty, vengeful
stage cartoon." If you go with
that in mind, you are in for a
very enjoyable, thought-pro-
voking evening.

Faculty Gives OK To Five Day Study

by Sandra Earley

j At its last meeting in fall
j quarter, the faculty gave a vote
>to proceed to its committee re-
I; cently studying the possibilities
;?of a five day academic week at
I; Agnes Scott. The committee
presented a report to the faculty
|: containing a revised schedule
!;of class hours and is now au-
thorized to proceed in outlining
!;a plan of classes in accordance
;|with its suggested schedule.
\ In an interview Dean of the
! Faculty, C. Benton Kline, said
> that the motion passed the facul-
ty by "a substantial margin,"
; but emphasized that the "vote
! to proceed" did not bind any
; faculty member to vote for in-
| stituting the five day week when
: the study is completed.

Dean Kline continued that the
committee asked each depart-
m ent to "rethink its whole plan"
and examine each course in the
department to determine which
courses could be taught in two
75 minute classes and which
courses, like beginning langua-
ges, must be taught in three
hour-long classes each week.
This report is to be made to the
Dean of the Faculty by February
1.

When the departmental re-
ports are completed, Dean Kline
will formulate a master sche-
dule to include all departments,
courses and sections. He point-
ed out that this is an "enor-
mous job" when for example,
there were 208 courses and sec-
tions during this fall quarter

with more in the winter and
spring quarters.

In conjunction with the "vote
to proceed," the faculty set up
an additional committee to study
the effects of the five day aca-
demic week on extra-curricular
activities. With Nancy P.
Groseclose as chairman, the
committee will consider the ef-
fects of schedule changes like
laboratory meetings from 2:10
to 5:10 p.m. on extra-curricu-
lar activities like sports, glee
club and representative coun-
cil. Other committee members
are: Marion T. Clark, Leslie
J. Gaylord, Kate McKemie,
Raymond J. Martin, Carrie
Scandrett and Laura Steele.

One of the major objections
to the five day academic week
lies in the fear that it will di-

rect the coLege toward a five
day program the fear that Ag-
nes Scott will become a "suit-
case college." Dean Kline
minimized this threat somewhat
when he reminded that "Agnes
Scott sits in the middle of a met-
ropolitan area with great socfal
opportunities in the Atlanta
area. For this reason the five
day week can work for us."

There are other objections
to the plan and the committee
listed these in its report to the
faculty. 75 minute classes are
long and both students and facul-
ty may became tired. New
teaching schedules may mean
that faculty members are not
available on campus as often;
as they are now this might
occur if a professor taught
only classes scheduled onTues-

day and Thursday. There is al-jj
so a long four day gap between]:
Thursday and Tuesday meet-i;
ing when there will be no class-;!
room contact in a course.

The intention of the five day:|
academic week as stated by thcj:
report and by Dean Kline is to';
"give some blocks of timehere-j
(on campus) by freeing Satur-j:
days." Saturday will be left:-
open to the student for flexi-j:
bility. :

When asked about the earliest <
possible date the plan could gov
into effect if passed by the facul- 1;
ty and Board of Trustees, Dean*:
Kline replied that the five dayj:
week "could go into effect nexO
September. It is in the realm-:
of possibility." He also stated i
that the plan would have to clear :'

Hiked Hemline Has
Struck And Stuck

EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first of a new weekly series in
the PROFILE which will pick up highlights of news items from
the newspapers of other colleges. The series is written by staff
writer Elizabeth Crum.

THE SUN DIAL, Randolph-
Macon Woman's College.. ..A
recent survey shows that the
Hiked hemline has struck and
stuck. "Those conducting the
survey found that for most girls
here, the favorite dress is the
newest; and the newest is the
shortest."

Another observation was what
type girl wore what length
dress. Girls interviewed in
study rooms generally fell into
the "at knee" to the "one inch
above" bracket; those studying
in bed were the two to three
inch bracket; and "girls in
rooms with music playing usu-
ally answered anywhere from
'four inches to twelve.' " Of
the 471 girls polled, 299 of them

wore their dresses from two to
four inches above their knees.

Williams Is Thomas
In Scenes Of Youth

' Emlyn Williams' performance of "Dylan Thomas Growing Up"
has been called "a rich, glowing resurrection" of the Welsh
poet and author who. died at 39. Williams will present his inter-
pretation of Thomas' young days January 18 in Gaines at 8:15
p.m.

The entertainment consists
of the humorous side of Thom-
as' boyhood in what one re-
viewer calls "a wonderful world
of wackiness." Often imper-
sonating more than one charac-
ter simultaneously, Williams'
one-man show relives school-
boy jokes and pranks, impres-
sions, rolicking incidents and
absurd situations.

There is the story of the out-
ing in a bus when all the men
hop from pub to pub and "drink
themselves into a state of com-
plete joyousness." There is the
story of the seventeen year old

poet who comes to London and
immediately gets his finger
stuck in a beer bottle. There is
the bizarre tale of the furniture
store where the merchandise
is stacked so that one must
jump from top to bottom.

Emlyn Williams is the sole
performer; one reviewer com-
ments that he himself is a
good-sized cast. The scene con-
sists of a screen with a signa-
ture of Dylan Thomas on it and
a chair. The Welsh actor Wil-
liams has had previous success
doing a bare-stage, one-man
reading of Charles Dickens.

4 In Loco Parentis' Theory
Crumbling on Campuses

(ACP) -- The role of the col-
lege or university as a substi-
tute parent for its students is
slowly crumbling. The doctrine
of "in loco parentis," based on
a long-held notion that the edu-
cational institution can and
should act "in place of a pa-
rent," is being modified slight-
ly in some schools, rejected
completely in others.

Changes are being seen in
every area encompassed by the
doctrine: curfews for women,
visitation in dormitories and
apartments, consumption of al-
coholic beverages on and off
campus, and place of residence
(i.e., allowing students to live
in off-campus apartments ver-
sus requiring them to live in
college-supervised dormitor-
ies).

Many students regard in loco
parentis as archaic, and stu-
dent newspapers have led the

crusade to tear it from its en-
trenched position as the founda-
tion of the system of social re-
gulations and replace it with an
updated, more realistic view of
the student's non-academic life.

Changes in rules regarding
alcoholic beverages are per-
hpas less frequent than in other
social regulations. Carleton
College. Northfield, Minn., re-
cently added its name to the list
of schools with liberal liquor
rules it now permits students
who are of age to drink in the
dormitories. On most cam-
puses, however, liquor remains
banned from school property.
At the University of Denver, the
Clarion reports, "The 25 or
35-year-old married graduate
student cannot legally have a
glass of wine with his spaghetti
dinn.r as long as he lives in
University housing."

Social regulations such as

these have long been an object
of scorn, and students often be-
come impatient with the pace of
change. To the Sou'wester, stu-
dent newspaper at Southwestern
at Memphis, the case for rules
changes is clear and simple:
"The administration would not
be embarrassed by regulations
that it would not or could not
enforce; parents would have a
more realistic picture of the
scope of their sons' and daugh-
ters' conduct; and students
themselves would be forced to
exercise more maturity and
judgment in their behavior.
"Many Eastern schools have al-
lowed this freedom. Emory
University, a church-supported
Southern institution, has per-
mitted open houses in its resi-
dence halls and thrown out an
unenforceable liquor ban. So
.far, no campuses have been
pelted with fire and brimstone,
and few students have been turn-
ed into pillars of salt."

$19,500 Goes
With the Wind

The winner of the National Trophy in
this year's Rose Bowl Parade was spon-
sored by the state of Georgia at the cost
of $19,500 which came from the Gover-
nor's Emergency Fund 0 The "emergency"
in this case which justified the use of the
taxpayer's money was that of "selling
the state"; members of Georgia's current
administration felt this would encourage
tourism and industry to come into the
state 0

When first announced, this seemed like
a good idea, Georgia's many industries
could use the advertising; her growth could
be shown in the cultural, sports, 3nd in-
dustrial fields; her progressiveness could
be presented to all the world c

One envisionaged a float with a scale
model of the C-5A (Galaxy), the world's
largest aircraft, now under construction
at the Lockheed plant in Marietta,, Cr we
could have seen the evidences of Georgia's
booming pulp and paper industry 0

Another thing typical of the state, and
apropos of the parade, would have been a
model of Atlanta Stadium with represen-
tatives of the Braves, Falcons, Georgia
Bulldogs, and Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets
aboardo In any of these ways the progres-
sive atmosphere of the state could have
been used to sell its image, the alleged
purpose of the float.

What appeared on the float instead, how-
ever, was predictable considering the pre-
sent governor of the state of Georgia e Any
man who spent Christmas riding his bicycle
with his adoring public--and ironically
running over someone while riding back-
wardscould be expected to sponsor a float
with a very trite theme - -an antebellum Sou-
thern mansion with girls in typical nine-
teenth century dress c

We doubt that this float, as beautiful
as it was with its Spanish moss hanging
all over it, accomplished the purpose of
selling the state to tourism and industry.
Perhaps the only thing it did sell was a
further image of Governor Lester Maddox
and his nineteenth century idealism and
philosophy. The $19,500 of taxpayer's
money would have been better spent to
portray Georgia's present glory.

Why can't we ever admit once and for
all that the pre-Civil War South is, in
fact, "gone with the wind." - S 0 A.

La Troupe's 'Don Juan'
Sh ows Much Improvement

Agnes Scott is fortunate to
have Vladimir Volkoff and La
Troupe producing plays on cam-
pus; theirs is an ambitious en-
terprise and they are to be com-
mended for even attempting all
that they do.

Each exposure a student has
to a foreign language or to

any event outside the realm of
his usual experience is of bene-
fit to him, if for no other reason
than to have widened his hori-
zons. The French plays we have
had on campus, whether they be
the professional ones sponsored
by L 'Alliance francaise or La
Troupe's amateur ones, have
served Agnes Scott students in
this way.

With the coming of La
Troupe's second year at Agnes
Scott, we can already see great
improvements in the quality of
their productions. The company
no longer consists of only Agnes
Scott French department faculty
padded by a few outsiders.
Technical aspects like scenery
and costumes have moved away
from hazards like the treacher-
ous rug everyone slipped on in
that first production.

However, there are improve-
ments still to be made. Most
technical aspects of the recent
production of "La Derniere nuit
de Don Juan" need profession-
alization. Unless one is very
at home in the French language
so that he can become caught
up enough in the story and its

acting out that he does not notic.
the devil popping out of the back
of his costume or the ghosts
wearing golf socks with pom-
poms on the heel, details can be
very distracting. To be able to
conce ntrate on the beauty of the
language and the action of the
play, the uncertain student, who
constitutes the majority of the
audience, should not be subjected
to the humor of red velveteen
falling off chair backs.

"The Last Night of Don Juan"
by Edmund Rostand begins
where Mozart's opera ends and
eventually shows the great lover
for what he really is only a
puppet used by the loves he
thought he himself manipulated.

With the exception of the
spectres' blue taffeta dresses
and the white spectre's grao -
ful robe, the costume's left
something to be desired. Not
only were periods and styles
of costumes mixed, but the play-
ers were not reminded of small
details like removing incongru-
ent twentieth century watches.

Scenery and stage properties
were surprisingly good, with
gold and white screens used ef-
fectively on either side of the
stage. However, one wonders
how much the cast had rehears-
ed with its scenery when actors
are not sure exactly where
furniture was and when they
had to squeeze painfully out be-
tween narrow openings in sets
of screens.

My neat roommate is backl For all you English majors and
literature lovers in general, there's a bit of irony tucked in
that first statement. Yes, Patsy's returned to the fold and she's
still "neat" in the colloquial sense the irony comes in the
"tidy" sense of "neat." Patsy has returned and brought with
her the usual passle of adorable clap-trap and "objets d'art"
which now festoon every nook, cranny and molding ledge of our
humble abode. Along with the facial sauna, the tensor light-
radio-clock combination and the cardboard night stand, there is
now the stained-glass spider, the Abner Doubleday flannel pa-
jamas, and the kaleidoscope with the nude ladies inside.

Speaking of nude ladies I am reminded of our freshman

days at A.S.C. when Patsy and I had claim to the smallest, but
most unique room on campus. Seniors used to come from miles
around just to marvel at it. That was the first year of the re-
vised drinking policy and everyone was still in awe of it all.

We lived in the room behind the phones on third Walters and if
you entered our room by the secret passage in the long-distance
phone booth, many wonders awaited your eyes. (To enter, just
drop your dime in the slot, dial 883-3004, wait for the panel un-
der the phone to slide open and step into the back of Sandra's
closet.) It's a good thing that the secret opening was in my
closet, for if it had been in Patsy's, someone might have had
to play Stanley to your Livingston.

Stepping out of the closet, you are confronted by the miracu-
lous visage of a fully-equipped bar (I told you the Seniors were
in awe). The nude lady of that year lived in a gilt frame above
the bar; Patsy and I picked her up at Lenox that first Sunday of
school on the A. A. bus tour.

We offer everyone a drink at our bar and you, too, have your
choice of Patsy's old Texas aged High-C Grape Drink or San-
dra's favorite, lemon platt (with appologies to Jimmy Joyce).
Sipping on your soda, let your eyes wander around the room and
rest precariously on everything in sight it's all significant,
from the Super Seven Helmet (with red directional turn signals
and a horn) to the electric train under Patsv's bed. An admir-
er of ours once gave us a yello\ a P 0 *S ies butterfly net; it fit
right in with the decor.

Ah, but the past is gone and we must not dwell on the glories
of fleeting Freshman fantasies. It must ever be onward and up-
ward. We have in the past twoyearsprogressed to bigger and
better trivia. We our royal-blue friend, Saul, of Flat Rock Play-
house fame who hangs on the wall while a sign that really glows
in the dark hangs on his nose. There's also La Verne La Rue
(a Raggedy Anne who went astray), her friend Edwina Rowena,
and last of all the divine Bernice (this time the apologies go
to Dante and Dr. Hayes' old room).

Come visit the whole crew anytime; just don't rush in with-
out knocking the deluge might hit you on the head. Patsy,
here before the fire warden and everybody, it's great to have
you backl

The stage picture at the open-
ing of the last half of the play
was lovely^ with Don Juan stand-
ing holding an uplifted candle-
la brum and the spectres pret-
tily arranged over the stage
and around the devil. The en-
tire sequence of spectres glid-
ing in and out was very pleasing.
It made up in a large way for the
rather strained scene in the
first half when Don Juan played
center stage and the puppet
theatre was off to the far left.

The acting was somewhat
more than adequate. In previous
roles Mr. Volkoff has shown a
tendency to overact, but as Don
Juan, he showed much more re-
straint to the great benefit of
his performance. Michel Had-

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

Editor's Note: The following
is the text of Anne Allen's
resignation from Judicial Coun-
cil which is now in effect. She
wished that the student body
understand the reasons for her
action.

Whereas I believe that the
recent decision of Judicial
Council concerning the Drink-
ing Policy takes from the in-
dividual student a freedom
which she not only has had, but
deserves, I cannot in good con-
science accept, myself, orgrani
to another the burden of its
enforcement. In order to be true
to my actions in the past and my
hope for the Honor System, I
feel no longer able to serve as
a member of Judicial Council
and do hereby submit my re-
signation from that board.

Respectfully, Anne Allen

To the Editor:

I am one of many Navy men
stationed in Puerto Rico. Most
of us are single and would like
to receive letters from some
girls back in the states. Some
of us haven't seen an Ameri-
can girl in more than a year.

Speaking for myself, I have
been here fourteen months. Be-
fore I was sent here, I was in
Viet Nam. I have not been sta-
tioned in the states since I came
in the Navy six years ago. So
I and many others here would
like to hear from some good
ole all American girls.

Every day we have mail call
here and it would surprise you
if you knew how many guys sit
around here and wait for mail
call knowing they aren't going
to get any.

There are 35 men assigned
to my division, 32 of which are
single. We would all like to
hear from you.

So how about dropping us a
few lines. Send your letter to
me and let me know what type
of a guy you would like to write.
I promise you some fast answ-
ers.

Johnston Grows 25 Feet,
Becomes Christmas Tree

by Bev Walker

A talking thirty foot Christ-
mas tree-Peggy Johnston?

What's that, you don't be-
lieve it? Well it's true. Not
many of us can claim this "oc-
cupation" but Peggy Johnston
a junior at Scott became this
fascinating object over Christ-
mas vacation. There she stood
in the middle of Briarcliff Plaza
Shopping Center, a huge tree.
In front of the tree was the sign:

"I am Santa's talking tree,
I'll talk to you, if you talk to
me." And that's exactly what
Peggy did, only sometimes our
aggressive "tree" didn't wait
to be spoken to.

Relating her numerous ex-
periences, Peggy told of the
time she wished a Merry
Christmas to an elderly lady,
who was passing by. The poor
lady just couldn't seem to un-
derstand what was going on. She
finally looked defiantly at the
tree, muttered "Darn tree" and
walked on. Peggy's most tra-
gic experience happened on her
first day. A little child standing
all wrapped up in coat and boots
started talking to the tree. After
the child had finished Peggy
warned with the usual, "Be a

good little boy." The child said
"Okay, but I'm not a little boy I"

What? You're wondering how
Peggy was a tree? Well, actual-
ly she was a package in the win-
dow of Belk's Department Store.
She sat at a desk in a huge box
wrapped as a package with a lit-
tle peephole to look at her visi-
tors through. A two-way mike
system was connected with
wires from her desk to the
tree. One mike was plaod
above the sign in front of the
tree for visitors to speak into
and the other mike was at Peg-
gy's desk.

Concerning the mike system,
Peggy admitted, "At first I did
have trouble. If I didn't keep
the mikes far enough apart the
speaker's voice from the out-
side would come in "and feed
back into my mike, and the
speaker would hear his own
voice amplified back to him.
Of course I also had to be very
quiet. Everything I did could
be heard. 1*11 never forget
when my sandwich bag popped.
A huge 'Bang I' went over the
mike. - Oh, did people stare I"

The location of the myster-
ious voice from the tree proved
to be a great source of interest.

ASC Students
Celebrate
July Fourth

Thursday, January 4, the Jun-
iors and the Freshmen had a
picnic to celebrate the Fourth
of July, six months early. The
picnic grounds (otherwise
known as Walter's basement)
were decorated in patriotic red,
white, and blue with pictures of
the Raggedy of Liberty and
Uncle Jiminy.

As with all true Fourth of July
picnics, orations were de-
livered from a soap box. Mar-
ion Hinson asked for support of
a motion to gain floor space
in Main, Rebekah, and Inman
by turning the rooms on their
sides. "Colonel Sandra" Ear-
ley asked that everyone patron-
ize her new business venture,
"Kentucky Fried Fold-Overs"
coming soon to the Atlanta area.

Kathy Johnson announced a
plan for "Lights-Out" on week-
ends. This proposal was a re-
sounding success. The climax
of the evening was a patriotic
speech delivered by "Uncle
Sam" Richman with apologies
to Mr. Lincoln.

to meet with students in Mc-
Kinney Date Parlor. He is
visiting the campuses of top
schools in Georgia and Vir-
ginia to talk about opportuni-
ties for student travel during the
coming summer.

With plans for student sail-
ings complete on the "Empress
of Canada" including orienta-
tion programs onboard, cheap-
er group air fare and various
other reductions available for
student travel, more and more
college students are spending
a summer abroad during their
college years.

Mr. Thomas will be available
for questions on this particular
trip as well as to discuss other
tours planned especially for
the college age group. The
Thomas Tour for College Stu-
dents, Summer in Europe, 1968,
will include England, France,
Holland, Germany, Switzerland,
Austria, Italy and the Isle of
Capri, with extension offered
for a Greek Island Cruise and
sightseeing in Athens and a trip
to Spain enroute home. He will
also present a popular trip to
Western U.S.A. which insludes
the Grand Canyon, Yosemite,
Las Vegas, Los Angeles and
Disneyland, San Francisco and
other famous American attrac-
tions. An exciting new trip to
Hawaii will beavailable , also,
this summer.

Peggy told us that it was unbe-
lievable how many kids and es-
pecially male adults tried to
trace the wires from the tree
to see where the voice came
from. One small boy was so
convinced that she was in the
top of the tree he said, "I know
you're up there; if you don't
come down I'm going to shake
you down!"

Fortunately all of Peggy's
visitors were"' not so vicious.
She did ,have a couple of wise
guys though, and she constantly
had to think of answers to ques-
tions such as: what kind of tree
are you, how old are you, where
did you live, and who cut you
down. To many of the other
questions she couldn't answer,
Peggy replied, "Well trees
don't go to school, so I don't
know."

Children were not the only
ones who came to talk to the
Christmas tree. One day a girl
about twenty came and asked the
tree to keep an eye out for a
possible husband for her. "This
I couldn't believe," said Peggy.
'The girl described exactly
what she wanted and daily visit-
ed the tree for results."

In her unusual occupation
Peggy found herself not only
as Santa Claus and Ann Lan-
ders, but also as a babysitter.
Mothers having to bring their
children shopping would leave
them at the tree with instruc-
tions, "Now, you stay here and
talk to Santa's nic< tree until I
come back." One little boy
became so attached to the tree
that when his mother came for
him he cried and didn't want to
leave. He later came back and
said, "I didn't think of anything
else I wanted; I just came to say
goodbye."

Many of Peggy's small visi-
tors were leery of approaching
this humongous tree and would
look furtively from one side to
another, take a step towards the
tree, look up and inquire
"Tree?"

Though Peggy did have some
experiences she doesn't like to
remember she said that the job
was very interesting and bene-
ficial. "I really enjoyed watch-
ing and talking to those kids.
They taught me how to think
fast. I had the worst time an-
swering some of their ques-
tions." Her first reaction when
informed of her new occupa-
tion was "You must be crazy,
I don't believe it." (This was to
Susan Wilkens who got her the
job, not to her boss.) But it
seemed there were no more
Santa Claus' left so the Briar-
cliff Plaza decided to try some-
thing different.

Now would you believe a talk-
ing Christmas tree?

the faculty no later than April
in order to be presented to the
Board of Trustees at their
meeting early in May.

The possibilities of a five day
academic week at Agnes Scott
became a subject of study
through a request made to the
faculty by the Student-Faculty
Committee on Educational Pol-
icy in March 1967. At this time
the faculty appointed a commit-
tee with Miriam K. Drucker as
chairman to conduct the study.

During last spring quarter
the committee sent a question-
naire to each faculty member
asking for reactions to the idea,
for suggestions of a possible
schedule and for specific facts
concerning class attendance on
Saturdays. The faculty was also
asked to consider whether or not
classes could be taught ef-
fectively only two days a week.

This summer Mrs. Drucker
took a suggested schedule and
gave it a dry run through many
faculty and student schedules
from the spring quarter to test
its workability.

In 'Wait Until Dark'

Suzy Overcomes
And Uses Handicap

by Jo Callaway

One somehow sensed from the beginning that Suzy Hendrix
would be the victor no matter what happened to her in the mean
time. The American public is just ready to accept a movie in
which a charming and beautiful blind lady loses. However, this
feeling was redeemed by her ordeal during which the action
ranged from tediously painful to hysterical, and Suzy was at one
moment calmly self-sufficient and at another apparently help-
less. A final horrible moment madeonealmost forget that Suzy
would win. But the primary redeeming factor of "Wait Until
Dark" was the moment to moment suspense created by the
build-up and resolution of each small successive event.

The painful effect of seeing
the innocent made victim of
heartless criminality was re-
lieved by the presence of Gloria
who childlishly enjoyed every-
thing, wished it could happen
every day, and was quite un-
aware of the severity of the
danger. But the effect was
really relieved because Suzy
not only triumphed in spite of
her handicap but turned it to
her advantage.

Although the acting was a
little unnatural in places, leav-
ing something to be desired,
there were some quite satisfy-
ing performances on the whole.
Mr. Koat, Jr. (and Sr.) played
by Alan Arkin was thoroughly
horrid. Richard Crenna's
double acting was so convincing
that one felt at times that he'd
really like to be on Suzy's side.
Efrem Zimbalist, Jr. as Suzy's
photographer-husband, al-
though not seen often, served
his main function well. One was
convinced of his love for her
not because he protected her
and ran to her rescue but be-
cause of his well-portrayed
unswerving desire that she
become a self-sufficient per-
son.

Audrey Hepburn was faced
with the very difficult job of
playing a blind person not yet
fully accustomed to being blind.
Her performance was not
superb but it was credible. She
was much more successful at
making Suzy Hendrix a person
of warmth, intelligence, and
perseverence.

Henry Mancini's music was,
as usual, excellent. It incon-
spicously contributed to the
total effect, smoothing the
movement, heightening the
suspense, and intensifying the
horror.

All in all "Wait Until Dark"
was a satisfying evening of
entertainment, especially note-
worthy for the constant main-
tenance of a sufficiently high
level of suspense.. It was not

KOECKERT STRING QUARTET FROM MUNICH

Will Perform In Gaines Chapel January 30 at 8:15 p.m.

Koeckert Quartet
Plays Here Tuesday

The Koeckert Quartet from Germany, returning to the United
States for its fourth visit, will perform January 30 in Gaines
at 8:15. On the occasion of their last tour in 1966, the San Fran-
cisco EXAMINER commented that the ensemble "is one of the
most sensitive sounding string quartets you're likely to hear
on the chamber music circuit."

"These four gentlemen from
Munich also have a very clever
sense of how to tie a program
into a neat bundle." They have
again been invited by Yale
where they performed on all of
their previous tours, in 1958,
1963 and 1966.

Founded in 1939 in Prague
by a group of fellow music
students, they moved to Bam-
berg and in 1949 settled in
Munich where they have made
their headquarters since. One
of Germany's leading chamber
groups, they have appeared all
over Europe including its major
festivals such as Salzburg, Ve-
nice, Edinburg. They have tour-
ed in Australia, New Zealand,
and Indonesia; in North and
South Africa; three visits took
them to Latin America, In 1965
they performed in the USSR
under the auspices of a Ger-
man-Russian Cultural Ex-

change program.

The Koeckert Quartet's re-
pertoire comprises the classi-
cal, romantic, and contem-
porary literature, from Mozart
to Shostakovich and Giselher
Klebe. They have given the
world premiere of Anton Bruck-
ner's "String Quartet in C Minor'
which Rudolf Koeckert was for-
tunate enough to discover, and
of Alberto Ginastera's "First
Quartet." Other firsts include
works by Jindemith, Ernst
Krenek, and Werner Ekg.

Rudolf Koeckert who has the
satisfaction of having his son,
Rudolf Koeckert Jr., join him
as second violinist, plays a
Giovanni Baptista Guadagnini
violin built in Milan in 1762;
Oscar Reidl an Amati built in
Cremona in 1616; and Josef
Merz a cello made in Paris by
Bermardel in 1837,

Social Council's Interboard
Committee on the Dress Policy
presented its recently revamp-
ed policy in an open meeting
January 16. The tentative pol-
icy, based on the questionnaire
completed by approximately
80% of the student body and 50%
of the faculty, was read and dis-
cussed by Ethel Ware Gilbert,
committee chairman.
Lucy Hamilton, Social Coun-
cil President, explained that the
policy is still in its first stages.
It must be considered by Re-
presentative Council, and then
by the Administrative Commit-
tee before becoming effective.
The Administrative Committee
has the power to rule- over
Representative Council.

The tentative policy is as fol-
lows:

"The Agnes Scott Dress Pol-
icy is based upon consideration
for students, faculty members,
and campus visitors. It is the
responsibility of each student
to dress appropriately for all
occasions and to observe the
following guidelines.

"Neat and appropriate dress
is expected for trips to Atlanta
and Decatur, concerts, plays,
lectures, and recitals on cam-
pus and in the Atlanta area.
Sunday dress is appropriate
for the noon meal in the dining
hall on Sunday.

"Sports attire is defined as
bermuda shorts and slacks. It
may not be worn in thefollowing
areas:

a. First Buttrick, Art galler-
ies in Dana, and First Main
(except to sign in and out of the
Dean's Office.)

b. First floor of the Library.

c. Stacks and reserve room
of the Library before noon.

Faculty Members Discuss
Merits of Pass-Fail System

Agnes Scott's experiment
with the system of allowing
juniors and seniors to elect
courses on a pass-fail basis
is continuing during the winter
quarter. To make the system
truly experimental, three
methods are being tried of in-
forming the professors which
students are utilizing the sys-
tem.

Fall quarter the professors
were not told who was taking a
course pass-fail until the week
of exams; this quarter the pro-
fessors have already been told.
Spring quarter, each profes-
sor will have the choice of
being given the information.

The number of people tak-
ing pass-fail courses has re-
mained fairly constant during
these first two quarters, with
50 students participating fall
quarter and 55 winter. The
definite majority of these stu-
dents are seniors.

Currently the course with
the largest number of pass-fail
students is World Religions,
which has 10. Last quarter
there were only two classes
with more than three students
taking them pass-fail, and both
of these were in the philosophy
department. Only in 23 of the
possible 79 courses are stu-
dents using the new system.

Faculty members interview-
ed about the system differed
widely in their reaction to it.
Geraldine Meroney, Associate,
Professor of History, believes
that the system is "a good
way to encourage intellectual
curiosity."

Kwai Sing Chang, Associate
Professor of Bible and Philo-
sophy, stated that the systen
made no difference in the work
and motivation of the two stu-
dents he had. He went on to say,
"If one is forced to study for a
grade, sometimes she will not

retain anything; inner motiva-
tion is the primary factor."

One language teacher com-
mented that the whole attitude
of the pass-fail student seemed

d. Faculty and administration
offices, classes, and science
and art labs. (Sports attire
may be worn in the laboratory
of Campbell and in the studios
of Dana after 6:00 p.m. and in
the practice rooms of Presser
after lunch.)

3. Upper dining hall.

f. Lower dining hall during
the noon meal.

Students should never leave
the campus with rolled-up hair.
Students may not appear with
rolled-up hair in the following
areas:

a. First Buttrick, First Main,
First Presser, and Art Galler-
ies in Dana.

b. First floor of Library.

c. Reserve Room and Stacks
of the Library before noon.

d. Faculty and administra-
tion Offices, classes, and
science and art labs.

Hair may be worn rolled-up
in the Lower Dining Hall for the

evening meal and in the Upper
Dining Hall at breakfast. It
may be worn in the Upper Din-
ing Hall on Friday and Satur-
day nights only if the Lower
Dining Hall is not open. Scar-
ves must be worn when hair is
rolled or in clips.

This policy was formulated
by an interboard committee at
the request of Social Council."

Commenting on the new pol-
icy's ommission of off-campus
dress rules, Ethel Ware Gilbert
stated that the "neat and ap-
propriate dress clause applies
here. We felt it was not our
business to say what to wear
off campus."

The committee felt that since
exam sweatshirts were a tra-
dition that a statement concern-
ing exam dress was not needed.
The "barefoot policy" was also,
omitted ,

Scott's 'Dr. Doerp'
Dies In Accident

S. Leonard Doerpinghaus, associate professor of biology,
died in an automobile accident Friday night, January 19, when
he was en route home from a Conservation Convention in Athens.
The head-on collision occurred in Walnut Grove on Highway 120.

Memorial services were held
Monday at the Peace Lutheran
Church and Wednesday in
Gaines Chapel here at Agnes
Scott.

Survivors include his widow,
the former Elsie H. Phluger,
and daughters, Martha, Helen,
and Ann Doerpinghaus, all of
Decatur.

SNOWBOUND SALLY SCOVILLE
Enjoys Decatur's New? Weather

A native of Altus, Ark., Dr.
Doerp, as he was affectionately
known to the students, was a
graduate of the College of the
Ozarks and received his M.A.
degree in plant genetics from
Smith College in 1948. He was
awarded a Ph.D. in botany from
Louisiana State University in
1956.

Before joining the Agnes Scott
staff in 1958, Dr. Doerpinghaus
taught at Texas Lutheran Col-
lege and at Louisiana StateUni-
versity. At Scott he was a
botantist and director of the
college's greenhouse.

He was a member of the Geor-
gia Academy of Science, the
American Association for the
Advancement of Science and the
Botanical Society of America.

He and his family lived at 225
E. Dougherty Street.

Dances Are
Planned For
Weekend

Tonighi and tomorrow Ag-
nes Scott College Social Coun-
cil is sponsoring the annual
Winter Dance Weekend. To-
night, from 9:00 to 1:00 the
formal dance will be reminis-
cent of the balls held in the
anti-bel urn South. The Pro-
gressive Club, site of the for-
mal, is a colonial designed
building decorated in red and
gold with a circular drive in
the front. The Max Baxter Or-
chestra will furnish the music,
and the members of the Dean's
Staff will serve refreshments.

Saturday afternoon the Week-
end pace shifts from the anti-
bellum South to the "Roaring
Twenties." From 3:00 p.m. to
5:00 p.m. the Dixie Wreck Jazz
band will play in the Hub. All
Scotties and their dates are in-
vited to come and listen to the
band and enjoy free root beet
and peanuts served by the "bar-
maids."

That night the time again
shifts. This time to the present
day and a psychedelic party.
Standing in front of the blinking
lights and backdrop at the De-
Kalb National Guard Armory
will be the "Inmen."

THE SUN DIAL, Randolph-
Macon Woman's College:
Freshmen at R-MWC were ask-
ed to present new ideas to im-
prove future orientation pro-
grams. Among their sugges-
tions were a sex reading list
to help with freshmen discus-
sions to be held second semes-
ter with student advisors, and
a "gripe" session, a period in
which training group leaders

talk about methods for studying
for exams.

Dean of Students, Almeda
Garland, suggested that faculty
discussions be held with sex,
drugs, worrying religion, grade
pressures, the 'hippie* move-
ment, study habits, getting along
with others, and dating as pos-
sible topics."

Merits Of

different. Because the grade
they received was just pass or
fail, the students tended not
to work as hard as they would
if they were getting a letter
grade. This teacher, who wish-
es to remain anonymous, felt
that a good point about the
system is that it helps en-
courage students to take hard
subjects they wouldn't other-
wise have taken for fear of not
doing well.

No Motivation

Miriam K. Drucker, Profes-
sor of Psychology, thinks that
the system does not provide
enough motivation for study.
"My concern is that 1.) students
might really not work and
therefore have wasted their
time, and 2) my one pass-fail
student got her usual A but no
quality points to use in the
evaluation of her record, which
is perhaps a wast again since
the record is looked to as a way
of evaluating academic per-
formance."

Honor Students

Larry Richman, Assistant
Professor of English, recom-
mended that the system be re-
stricted to honor students. In
general, he is in favor of the
program, but thinks that is con-
tains "potential for abuse." If
enough pass-fail students were
taking a course, and enough of
these did not feel the need to
prepare as thoroughly, it could
really be a dragon the discus-

The primary purpose of the cross, accord-
ing to Dr. Lawrence Bottoms, is social. In a
talk at the Decatur Presbyterian Church
recently, Dr. Bottoms made this point in a
discussion of 'The Creative Use of Power."

According to this philosophy, when God
made the world, he made a community where
all men were in harmony with Him and with
each other. When man sinned, the community
was broken.

Whereas the traditionalists view the cross
of Jesus as being an end in itself, i # e. per-
sonal salvation, Dr. Bottoms says that this
personal salvation is a means to an end the
recreation of the community. Salvation
through the cross means that all men of any
race, creed, or color can again live in har-
mony.

Illustrating his philosophy of God's social
purpose through the cross, Dr. Bottoms, who
is the Associate Secretary of the Division of
Education and Research in the Presbyterian
Church, US, pointed out that the Lord's Pray-
er says "Thy will be done on earth," 'Thy
kingdom come on earth," and "give us. ..our
daily bread tomorrow."

All of this goes to illustrate what to many
listeners was the essential message of Dr.
Bottoms' speech--that man should strive not
for effective race relations, but for effective
human relations. He said that in transitional
neighborhoods it should be middle class

whites and middle class Negroes working
together to ease and eliminate poverty of all
people, not of just one race.

This reminds me of something my father
once said. He pointed out that the widest gap
in the world today is not that from earth to
the moon, but that "from one man's heart to
another." When we bridge that one, maybe the
other problems won't seem so hard to solve.

One of my favorite stories is about the two
boys who were out hunting. The game warden
came up and said, "Let me see your hunting
license." At that one of the boys took off,
running through the woods with all the
speed he could possibly manage. The game
warden took off, running right behind him.

At length the game warden caught up with
him, and the boy reached in his pocket and
took out his hunting lice nse. The warden,
panting hard, said, "You mean, you let me
chase you all that way, and you had your
hunting license all the time." The boy, look-
ing at him sincerely, and said, "Why, sure,
my buddy back there he didn't have one."

His buddy didn't have one. Maybe this sums
up in just one phrase the whole idea of the
social purpose of the cross, the Golden Rule,
the United Appeal and everything that's good
in the world. Maybe if we'd remember this
one phrase, we could have true human rela-
tions, ti O A '1

sion. "One needs to spend the
same amount of time on a pass-
fail course as on any other
course; students should not act
like guests."

Compromise

Chang seemed to agree with
this opinion when he pointed
out that the pass-fail program
is preferable to auditing be-
cause it gives students a small
motivation outside purely per-
sonal interest. He said, "Our
nature is such that pure curio-
sity is not always sufficient."
This system, to him, is a good
compromise between grades
and auditing.

Marie Pepe, Associate pro-
fessor of Art, agrees with the
majority of the faculty mem-
bers interviewed that the
system is a good idea. She said
the students she had did very
good work.

Wants to Know

In the music department, Mi-
chael McDowell, chairman, said
he w>uld like to know the stu-
dents who are taking the cour-
ses pass-fail. He remarked that
one girl in particular taking
his course pass-fail would have
gotten a B plus had she taken
it for credit.

Students participating in the
program seem to appreciate
it because it greatly reduces
the pressure for grades . One
said that the professor should
know who was taking the course
pass-fail so "the professor
would think I wasn't trying
rather than I think I was dumb."

This opinion was balanced
by several who felt that the
purpose of the program was
defeated if the students did not
apply themselves.

Ever notice how a good raunchy movie can sometimes
serve a purpose outside entertaining certain unthinking seg-
ments of the population? A movie called "The Penthouse
(you'll never see it on television)" did just that for me last
weekend.

Yes, Doctor, I'd love to stretch out on your couch and tell
you all about it. I've been having real feelings of inadequacy
lately. I've been reading James Joyce's "Ulysses." Doc,
I'm frustrated. Not onlyhasmy life been relatively dateless
and therefore affectionless, but the dictionary definitions just
don't tell all. I finally had to stop looking up all the words
I suspected would be juicy; I just couldn't stand it. I'm just
reading for story now.

Thank goodness for "The Penthouse;" even I couldn't miss
what it was all about. Everybody around me at the movie
and all the people I've heard from (even Judith Crist) have
been revolted by the movie, but I was so busy congratulating
myself on understanding it that I actually enjoyed it.

We went to the nine o'clock show and arrived early enough
that we had to stand and wait as the seven o'clock crowd
stomped out of the theatre. I sort of wondering what we were
getting into as about twice the usual number of women queued
up in front of the ladies room and sarcastic dates muttered
"waste of money" and "well, you picked this one" as they
shoved toward the door.

After I had watched the movie for a few minutes and happily
established that 1 was going to be able to follow it, I settled
down to keep one eye on the screen and the other eye on the
audience. (I've been doing a lot of reading in the last several
weeks and as a result my eyes are able to perform all sorts
of cute tricks).

The older people in the audience harumped, sniffed and
crossed their arms during the movie. Younger couples avoided
looking at each other, slumped down in their seats, and took a
concentrated interest in the bottom of their popcorn boxes.
Some poor high school honey in the right back of the room made
the mistake of giggling out loud at a crucial moment and if looks

When the movie was over and we were going out of the theatre,
one girl said distinctly, "I can put my own coat on, thank you."
The group I was with was practically shouting when we got to
the car, but I kept quiet. They finally confronted me with the
question of how did I like the movie. I said that I'd enjoyed
it and the storm broke. Even the car roared at me as it started
up; its driver implied what kind of mind I must have to enjoy
such as that.

Actually, Doc, it's not the kind of mind I have, it's the kind
of mind I don't have. Now you figure that one out.

The Student Center Board of Emory University is now present-
ing its annual Creative Arts Festival which opened with a per-
formance of "The World of Carl Sandburg." Next on the pro-
gram the Emory Glee Club and Women's Chorale will present

February 6.

WhittemoreDoes Research
In Fields of Ignorance

byBecky McRae

'The Fantasticks," a musi-
cal that is now in its eighth year
in New York City, is the story
of a boy and girl brought to-
gether by their scheming
fathers. "Try to Remember"
and "Metaphor" are two of the
famous songs from the score,
written by Tom Jones and
Harvey Schmidt.

In the Emory performance,
at 8:15 p.m. in the Alumni
Memorial Building Auditorium,
A rt Klaff will play the narra-
tor; Charles McClendon, the
boy; Susie Lanier, the girl;
Ray Hall and Mike Faulkner,
the fathers. Directing will be
Mrs. Mary Heuermann, a voice
teacher at Emory, who has also
worked with the Academy Thea-

ter. William Lemonds will be
the musical director.

The final act of the Emory
Creative Arts Festival will be
Mahalia Jackson in concert in
the Glenn Memorial Auditorium.
Miss Jackson has been sing-
ing religious songs since she
was 16. Her recording of
"Move Up a Little Higher"
has sold more than eight mil-
lion copies. Her concert will
begin at 8:15 p.m., February
6.

Tickets to the performances
at Emory are available at Scott
from Melanie Moreland, 121
Winship, ext. 304. Student pric-
es are $1.50 for "The Fan-
tasticks" and $2.75 for Mahalia
J ackson.

Volunteers Aid SC
With Dance Decor

by Mari

What can a little interest and
ingenuity do? The interest and
ambition of several Scott girls
is resulting in great excite-
ment and additions to Social
Council's Winter Weekend. The
volunteered service of these
girls is making possible ela-
borate decorations for an out-
standing dance weekend.

Chairman Sally Tucker map-
ped out the (decoration; strate-
gy in regard to the Time
Plan of the weekend's activities.
(See article about Dance Week-
end.) Sally and Sally Skardon
freely contributed time, ef-
fort, and enthusiasm. With
their many workers they are
creating extra special decora-
tions for the weekend's festi-
vities.

Various committees have
been set up on a completely
volunteer basis and Social
Council has granted the girls
$50 to execute their decorat-
ing plans.

Friday night's formal will be
graced with shimmering, dainty
table decorations. Sandra Wil-
son designed these dillies and
with her committee made one
for every table. Such simple
ingredients as aluminum foil,
candles, white typewriter
paper, net, ribbon, and the
infirmary's paper pill cups are
swirlled, cut, and combined.
The result is a table decoration
to enhance the old southern
tradition of formality at the
Progessive Club.

Saturday's Dixieland Time
will be in the Hub, which was
of course built in that era
anyway. The bright colors and
the "Dixieland Recks" band
should set the mood for pea-
nuts, root beer, and song re-
miniscent of the Dixieland jazz.

Blurpy, bellowing, bold,
bouncing, boisterous, bewilder-
ing, and guaranteed to psyche
your mind. Of course this ap-
plies to the Saturday night in-
formal. The Armory's decor
certainly will not be like the
Foreign Legion and sand dunes,
so don't come defenseless.

Paige Dotson and Cathy Whit-
man have planned the lighting
effects. One such device is call-
ed a rainbow gel which could
probably be described more ac-
curately as golash of lights.

lyn Merrell

Paige called it "blurpy colors
that make you gurgle."
Another lighting effect is the
strobe light, which should af-
fect your eyes if not your mind.

The bandstand and backdrop
promise to call more attention
to the band than music alone
could. Ann Abernethy, Patricia
Auclair, and Margo Powell as-
sure psychedelic motion.

Now the ceiling decorations
must be explained, but words
will not suffice. Only shapes
geometric or pseudo geome-
tric, color, and imagination can
explain these decoration plans.
Since all three present prob-
lems to a journalist, possibly
these should be left to sight
and not description. With Terrie
Dejarnette and Edith Jennings
as co-chairman of this com-
mittee, the sight promises to
be one for the memory.

Popeye and
Chris Robin
Are Victors

Friday, Jan. 19, saw the
playing of Agnes Scott's first
basketball game of the year.
At four o'clock the seniors
met on the courts to do battle
with the junior class. The end
of the game saw the seniors
taking the victory with an over-
whelming score of 29 to 9.

In the second game of the
afternoon, the sophomores met
the enthusiastic freshmen for
four quarters of close play.
However the ;sophomore> six
carried the day with a score of
1 1 to 9.

Elizabeth Crum, Athletic As-
sociation basketball manager,

managers for this year are as
follows: seniors, Jane Weeks;
juniors, Patricia Auclair,
sophomores Bebe Guill; 'and
for the freshman class, Angie

The field of deviant behavior
might easily be termed a field
of ignorance instead of know-
ledge. In a recent interview with
Ken Whittemore, assistant pro-
fessor of Sociology at Agnes
Scott, he stated that one of the
primary reasons for doing re-
search in this field is the fact
that we "need knowledge most
where ignorance is the great-
est." He went on to say that
sexual human behavior, almost
untouched by investigation, is
generally taught from the bio-
logical or anatomical point of
view, and not as human inter-
action.

Research

Whittemore is currently con-
ducting research in abortion,
prostitution, and homosex-
uality. From time to time, he
uses students to help him inter-
view people; however, he em-
phasized the difficulty in doing
research of this kind, and stat-
ed that students must be care-
fully screened for maturity in
talking to people. He pointed
out that in most instances, in
doing research of this kind, one
of the main difficulties is not
fear of the police, but fear of
public opinion.

"Time"

'Time" magazine recently
interviewed Whittemore in con-
nection with an article con-
cerning confidentiality for
sociologists conducting re-
search in deviant behavior.
Some mis-interpretation of the
article's reference to Whitte-
more has suggested that he is
more concerned with this phase
of his work than he actually is.

He said the realization that
there is no legal basis forpro-
tection for sociologists at the
present time, makes him more
careful. However, he does not
deliberately avoid police de-
tection; his records are kept
where he lives and works, and
the research is being done in
other states. Whittemore had
no complaint against "Time,"
however, and stated that the
article had hel ped in doing his
research because people in de-
viant positions who are afraid
of detection, are convinced of
his sincerity when he shows
them the article, though they
might tend to reject other cre-
dentials.

Georgia State

Note to ASC students: Whit-
temore stated that Georgia
State was mentioned in the
article instead of ASC for prac-
tical reasons: he is teaching a
course in Social Deviancy there.

In collecting information of
this type, there is need to assi-
milate the material and present
it purposefully when it is com-

pleted. Whittemore is current-
ly working from grants from
the U.S. Public Health Service,
Department oi Behaviorial
Sciences, and Communicable
Disease Center.' Relating to
venereal disease, he is doing
this researc h in homosexuality
prostitution, and sexual pro-
lyl iscuity.

Anonymous Grant

He is also now supported by
a foundation which prefers to
remain anonymous until com-
pletion of his research on abor-
tions. He is also doing re-
search on abortion to be pre-
sented to a seminar-symposium
to be held at The Homestead,
Viginia in the fall of 1968. This
will include one hundred Eng-
lish-speaking guests from all
over the world. Sixty- five of
these are from the U.S., and
include such prominent lead-
ers as Thurgood Marshall,
Whitney Young, Margaret
Meade, and John D. Rocke-
feller, III.

Wofford Alum Gives
Pleasure Fund"

SPARTANBURG, S.C. (CPS) A new student loan program
has been started at Wofford College here, but students have to
guarantee that the money they borrow won't be used for school
fees, room and board, or books.

The loan program is called
the "Pleasure Fund." It was
set up by an anonymous alumnus
who wanted to make sure that no

CA Sponsors Three
Bonhoeffer Studies

The Christian Association is sponsoring a series of three dis-
cussions concerning the theological views of Dietrich Bonhoeffer,
who was executed in 1945 for his involvement in a plot to assas-
sinate Adolf Hitler. These discussions will mainly involve topics
related to "Letters to a Friend" from the "Letters and Papers
from Prison," which is available in the book store. On January
31 at seven p.m. in Rebekah Recreation room will be the first
discussion.

The first discussion will be
by a student panel composed

one goes through Wofford CoU-
lege "without having any fun."

Under terms of the program,
students can borrow up to $5tf
interest-free for almost any-
thing that gives them enjoy-
ment, such as fraternity week-
ends, hi-fi equipment, and the
like. Loans must be repaid
within four months, alongwitha
$1 charge for administrative
expenses.

The alumnus who started the
program said he got the idea
when, as a student, he did not
have enough money to rent a
tuxedo and buy his girl friend
a corsage for a school dance.

of Judy King, Marcia King,
Paige Maxwell, and Eleanor
McCallie. This discussion is
chiefly for the purpose of com-
piling a list of questions about
the works and life of Bonhoef-
fer that students would like to
have discussed.

Mary L. Boney, professor of
Bible,; will lead the second
discussion, dealing with both the
influence of history on the theo-
logical views of Bonhoeffer and
his influence on later theolo-
gians. The last discussion will
endeavor to show Bonhoeffer's
relationship to modern theo-

logy.

C. A. selected the theology
of Bonhoeffer for discussion
because its members felt he
was a link between past and
present theological views. Fur-
thermore, they believe that
many modern theologians have
been influenced by him. Basi-
cally the discussions will be a
Study of contemporary the-
ology through the works and
thoughts of Bonhoeffer.

German Department
Gives Sachs' Plays

At 8:15 p.m. on February 1 in Maclean Auditorium the German
department of Agnes Scott will present two one-act German
plays. These are the first plays which have been produced by the
German department since the very successful production of
"Dr. Faustus" two years ago.

Jordan Recalls Summer
Exchange in Switzerland

Chosen to be shown to the
Agnes Scott community and all
others who are interested are
two sixteenth century come-
dies, "De Fahrend Schuler mit
dem Teufelbanner" (The?
T ra vel i nr. Studen t Who Conque rs
the Devil) and "Das Kalber-
bruten" (The Hatching of
Calves). Both of the plays were
written by Hans Sachs, one of
the most famous German play-
wright of his time.

The history student as well as
the German student should be
attracted to these productions
since Sachs represents the
bourgeois during the time when
the class first began to come
into its own. Sachs uses his
plays as vehicles to make fun
of the peasants and the cor-
rupt clergy of his time.

The casts of the plays are
made up of five Agnes Scott
German students and two pro-
fessors from the Emory Uni-
versity German department.
These include (in "Der Fah-
rend Schuler")Terri Langston,
Gail Livingston, Barbara Paul,
and William Fletcher and (in
"Das Kalberbruten") Vicki
Hutchenson, Becky Naylor, and
Sam Shiver.

For those who do not speak
German an English synopsis of
the plays will be provided in
the printed programs.

Director of the production,
Mrs . Erika Shiver, has an-

nounced that the plays are ex-
pected to run about one hour and
that there is no price for ad-
m ission.

Stafford,
and Warren
Win at Golf

The end of last quarter saw
the conclusion- of the fall golf
tournament. The student-facul-
ty tournament, begun in late
October, saw Kathy Stafford
and Ferdinand Warren emerge
victorious from a field of five
pairs. The tournament was
played at the Forest Hills Golf
Course.

The coming of bad weather
at the end of last quarter saw
the discontinuance of tennis ac-
tivities on campus. By that
time, the singles had been play-
ed with Linda McLaurin over-
coming Ellen Richter in the
finals. Only the finals remain
to be played in the student-
faculty doubles. In this tourna-
ment Elizabeth Crum and Mi-
chael J. Brown are awaiting
a good day and dry courts to
play the team of Caroline Mit-
chell and Edward Johnson.
Some 13 members of the faculty
and administration participated
in the tournament with their
student partners.

Interboard Group
Suggests New Policy

Because of the academic day
plan incorporated into the pol-
icy, it will be reconsidered if
a five-day week goes into ef-
fect.

The committee is composed
of four social council members
and one representative from
each of the other boards. Mem-
bers are Ethel Ware Gilbert,
Lucy Hamilton, Elaine Harper
Horton, Minnie Bob Mothes,
Dusty Kenyon, Kathy Stafford,

(CONT. FROM PAGE 1)
Mary Garlington, and Bebe
Guill. Social Council expressed
the desire for an interboard
committee because "usual
Dress Policy discussions be-
come pro-Social Council or
anti-Social Council."

Ethel Ware concluded the
meeting by saying that the ob-
jective of the committee has
been "not to have things so
delineated."

Summer Job Directory

Over 50,000 summer jobs
open to college students are
listed in the new "1968 Sum-
mer Employment Directory"
just off the press.

Employers throughout the
United States and Canada who
list their summer job openings
include resorts, summer
camps, national parks, summer
theatres, restaurants, ranches
and business. They invite ap-
plications now.

There are 12% more summer
jobs available than last year.

Salaries are higher in many
jobs an increase of $100 to
$200 for the season. Camp
counselors, resort workers and
office help continue to be in
greatest demand. Scuba div-
ers, ham operators, special
education students, and fly-
tying and origami instructors
are among many others need-
ed.

Just how different are fami-
lies around the world? How dif-
ficult is it for a person to adjust
to family life in another conti-
nent? In 1932 Dr. Don B. Watt
founded Experiment in Interna-
tional Living to answer these
questions. The Experiment, a
world-wide organization with
representatives in more than
fifty countries, is an indepen-
dent, nonprofit, educational or-
ganization financed by fees,
foundation grants, gifts and gov-
ernment contracts. Each year
this program exchanges over
5,000 men and women between
the ages of 16 and 30, giving
them the opportunity for first
hand experience in the family
life of another culture.

The summer program lasts
approximately two months. Be-
fore embarking, however, those
selected attend an orientation
to learn the customs, especial-
ly manners, to make adjustment
easier. The Experimenters al-
so study history to learn what
has made the country and what is
important. Also available, at
extra cost, is a cram-course
of the language spoken in the
country to be visited.

Kay Jordan, a junior at Agnes
Scott, participated in The Ex-
periment last summer. After
orientation, Kay and nine other
students, under the direction of
a trained leader, left Connecti-
cut for Switzerland. Upon ar-
rival, part of Kay's group went
to farm families and part to the
city. What each of them did
during his homestay depended
on the family he lived with.
Some of the Experiments work-
ed on farms while others were
not allowed to do anything.

Kay lived in the city and both
of her "parents" worked, so
much of her time was spent with
the children, one of whom was
her own age. Although it was
difficult at first for she was a
stranger and the family only
spoke French, before long they
knew each other we'll. Together
they sailed, went on picnics
and did other things much like
she would have done at home.

After two weeks with the fam-
ily, Kay and her "brother" met
the others and traveled over
Switzerland. They visited four
different cities, each one being
typical of one of the four divi-
sions of Switzerland (German,
Italian, French, and Romash).
They saw how cheese is made,
toured the Nestle's chocolate
factory and a watch factory and

saw some chateaux. Most of the
tour, however, consisted of hik-
ing and mountain climbing.
They camped out and did their
own cooking. Only one place
along the way had hot water.

Next came another two weeks
with the family. Since they lived
in the city, Kay's family was
able to have a vacation and they
took it at this time, giving Kay
the opportunity to visit new
cities, and the other places they
loved with them. At the end of
this homestay, Kay's group went
to Paris before returning home.

The knowledge gained through
The Experiment is more emo-
tional than intellectual for the
trip is an exercise in tact and
understanding, the keys to suc-
C< ss being adaptability, a deep
interest in people, and an eager-
ness to learn.

Atlanta Area Artists
Give Exhibit in Dana

The Agnes Scott College Department of Art will present an
exhibit of works by Atlanta area artists February 4 through
February 25 in the Dalton Galleries of Dana Fine Arts Build-
ing. The public is invited to attend the opening Sunday, February
4, from 3 to 5 p.m.

Eighteen artists will exhibit
works in painting, sculpture,
and graphics. Among the art-
ists are Joseph Perrin, head of
Georgia State College depart-
ment of art, Joel Reeves, Dean
of Atlanta School of Art, and
Ferdinand Warren, head of the
department of art at Agnes
Scott.

Other artists presenting
works include Edward Ross,
George Beattie, Ben Shute,
James Sitton, Dorothy Berge
Jack Ramsey, and Ben Smith.
Sue Mitchell, Agnes Scott alum-
na, will present some of her
paintings.

Jim McLean, Herb Creecy,
Kennan Shute, Ed Bramblette,
George Mallet, Floyd Cole-
man and Norman Wagner will
also present works at the exhi-

bit. This is the first Atlanta-
area invitational exhibit to be
held at Agnes Scott.

Said Warren, "Since there
are few opportunities for At-
lanta area artists to exhibit
their work in Atlanta, we feel
that such shows will encourage
artists and offer the students
and art public and opportunity
to know these artists and their
work."

The department of art at
sent such exhibits annually. It
is hoped that funds can be
raised for a purchase award
to be obtained from each future
show, the work to become part
of the Agnes Scott College per-
manent collection.

Gallery hours are weekdays
9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays
and Sundays 2 to 5 p.m.

Melissa A. Cilley
Dies Wednesday

Melissa Annis Cilley, Assistant Professor of Spanish, Emeri-
tus, died Wednesday morning following an extended illness.

Miss Cilley, who was on the
Agnes Scott faculty from 1930
to 1963, held the B.A. degree
from the University of New
Hampshire and the M.A. from
the University of Wisconsin. She
had done additional graduate
study at the University of Mad-
rid, Spain.

In 1966 she was named honor-
ary president of the Phi Lamb-
da Phi, Portuguese National
Honor Fraternity. In sending
Miss Cilley her key, Norwood
Andrews Jr., executive secre-
tary of the fraternity, wrote

that it is "a small token of
recognition for the numerous
important contributions you
have made to the cause of
Portuguese studies."

Johnson's State Of Union
Says Little On Education

WASHINGTON (CPS) Lyn-
don Johnson, who sometimes
says he wants to be remem-
bered as the "education Pre-
sident," made only passing
mention of education in his
annual State of the Union Mess-
age.

In his only significant state-
ment about higher education, the
President said, "I shall recom-
mend an Education Opportunity
Act to step up our drive to
break down financial barriers
separating our young people
from college."

Despite this promise, edu-
cation officials do not expect
new student financial aid pro-
grams. The President's state-
ment, most educators think, is
significant only to the extent
that it may indicate recognition
by the Administration that stu-
dent aid programs need to be
vastly expanded.

"I would presume that any
new federal effort aimed at
providing equal educational op-
portunity for all citizens will
build upon the present student
financial aid structure," an of-

ficial in the Office of Education
said. "The President's state-
ment merely indicates that the.
goals have been established, and
we are going to make moves in
the direction of assuring stu-
dents will not be educational
opportunities."

But education officials still
are not optimistic that the Ad-
ministration will propose sig-
nificant budgetary increases in
the student financial aid pro-
grams. They cite two reasons
to support their pessimistic
attitude:

The Administration is pro-
posing that the entire federal
budget be increased by only
$10.4 million, a smaller in-
crease than in the two previous
budgets. And virtually all of the
increase already has been attri-
buted to either defense costs or
mandatory increases under the
law, such as higher interest
payments. Furthermore, Pre-
sident Johnson is going to have
a tough time getting any bud-
get increases approved by Con-

gress.

In the current fiscal year,
student financial aid programs
need far more federal support.
The big problem this year, one
education official said, was that
President Johnson's budget re-
quests for student aid programs
were far below the amount
authorized by law.

For example, Congress au-
thorized $200 million for the
college work-study program,
but the President asked for
only $139.9 million, and Con-
gress appropriated that amount.
And after the President order-
ed an across-the-board reduc-
tion in federal spending, the
program was left with only
$134.3 million.

The National Defense Edu-
cation Act student loans have
an authorization of $225 mil-
lion, but President Johnson re-
quested only $190 million. Con-
gress again accepted the Pre-
sident's request. The program
was cut by an additional $6
million after the freeze on
spending was ordered.

'Secret Sound'

The WSB Radio Secret Sound, which has baffled listeners for
several months now, has finally been correctly identified.

Would you believe it was the sound of the dome opening in the
Observatory at Agnes Scott College? You'd better believe itl

Richard Walker of Athens won $335 from WSB by correctly
naming the sound and the place of its origin. Now, why couldn't
some Astronomy student at Agnes Scott have come up with the
answer?

Her book reveals the per-
vasive mixture in James's
fiction of the comic with the
painful in human experience.
James's rendering of this inter-
action, this "strange alloy", is
pursued through an analysis of
much of his early and mature
fiction.

"Strange Alloy" begins with
a brief survey of the earliest
stories and "Watchand Ward",
then examines such major
works as "The American"
and "Portrait of a Lady." The
following chapters range
through the Jamesian canon as
the author examines charac-
ters from the fiction in rela-
tion to the major theme of the
"strange alloy" of comedy and
tragedy.

The final section of the book
shifts the emphasis from
character to technique, examin-
ing James's three late great
novels . The final chapter re-
capitulates the course of the
book, reinforcing it with bio-
graphical perspective derived
from analysis of some of
James's letters.

Ellen Douglass Leyburn's
"Strange Alloy" presents a
convincing case for the idea
that James knew exactly what
he was doing in this interact-
ing area of comedy and tragedy.
This conviction is supported by
impressive evidence drawn
from James's criticism, his
Prefaces, his famous essay on

the art of fiction and his let-
ters.

The book is priced at $6.00
and may be obtained from book-
stores or from the University
of North Carolina Press at
Chapel Hill.

OBSERVATIONS

Dress Policy
Steps Forward

Cn Tuesday the revised Dress Policy was
presented to Rep. Council for discussion;
the policy could not be voted on at that
time for it has not yet been passed through
Social Council.

Discussion in Rep Council was not as
heated as it has been previously. Tara
Swartzel seemed to speak for the group
when she suggested that the new Dress
Policy, if passed, is a great step forward
for Agnes Scott and that we should be thank-
ful for the advance made rather than be-
ginning immediately to attack the new policy.

The revised Dress Policy is the work of
an interboard committee formed at the re-
quest of Social Council. The work done by
the committee in itself is remarkable. Not
only have they formulated a new policy, but
they did it after tapping student and faculty
opinions and suggestions; this is not a policy
made by a committee in isolation from the
rest of the student body and the faculty.

This committee is also unique in that it is
an interboard committee to look at an area
that heretofore has been considered the
domain of Social Council. Since the kind of
clothes one is asked to wear affects all areas
of campus life, it is logical that representa-
tives of all areas should help shape the sug-
gestions for dress.

The proposed policy is a good one and
all that is left to do with it now, is to pass
it. The policy must first go through Social
Council and Rep Council before it is pre-
sented to the Administrative Committee
for final approval. It is "strongly urged"
that each of the groups give the new policy
its approval so that it can go into effect as
soon as possible.

Some students are not waiting for the
new policy to take effect; they are ignoring
the present policy and will probably ignore
the new Dress Policy if passed. They are
demonstrating a complete lack of respon-
sibility in this area as well as a lack of
respect for the feelings of their fellow stu-
dents, faculty and anyone else who happens
to have to look at them in the dining hall,
library or classrooms.

If their flaunting of the dress policy is
calculated to call attention to the inade-
quacies of the old policy, there are other,
more constructive ways to do so and to go
beyond this and change the policy. This other
way has been demonstrated in recent months
in the actions of Rep Council and the inter-
board committee. We have an effective
system through which to make changes and
here is where protest, loud protest if
necessary, can be heard and acted upon. The
flagrant violations of the dress policy only
call attention to the problem; they go no
further to do anything about remedying the
situation.

We have assumed that these several
students have had some altruistic motive
for their actions; it may be, however, that
their motives are not so elevated. Their
actions may also be attributed to such ab-
stract and uninspired motive as im-
patience, coupled with selfishness, as well
as plain old ordinary exhibitionism. -

Politics in a very interesting occupation
to those who take part in it full time and to
those of us who participate it occasionally.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of poli-
tics is the politicians who make it possible.

I would like to take advantage of my rights
to express my views in this spot this week
to present an admittedly partisan and bias
report of a man who I believe every young
person today should know. This man is
Charles Longstreet Weltner.

When first met him in 1962, he was a
lawyer running for his first term in the
United States House of Representatives from
the Fifth District in Georgia. He came to
speak to our high school assembly, and for
perhaps the first time in my life, I found
myself listening to what a politician had to
say and liking it.

He went on that fall to be elected. During
the early part of his first term in Washing-
ton, he impressed most people as a likeable
young Southerner who just might "go places."
Then he did something different and out of
the ordinary.

When it came time to vote on the 1964
Civil Rights Bill, Weltner searched his con-
science (not his district) and found that he
had to support this bill. Not only did he vote
for it, in a. roll call vote, but he had the
courage to stand up and speak in favor of it.

His friends feared, and his enemies hoped,
that he had committed political suicide. But in
the fall elections that same year, the Fifth
District returned him as its representative
to Congress. He continued to make an im-
pression, ' this time as a young "liberal",
and he was chosen by a leading magazine
as one of the 10 most promising men in the
Congress.

During that term he served on the House
Un-American Activities Committee and initi-
ated the investigation of the Ku Klux Klan,
which he recently termed the only thing that

AN OPEN LETTER
Dear,

Yes, you caught me. And now
that you know I handed in my
exam schedule late, I feel I
should confess my other short-
comings:

I take reserve books without
signing them out.

I line-jump in the cafeteria
on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

I steal trays from the din-
ing hall to go traying.

I smoke in bed and I empty
the ashes into my paper waste-
basket.

I talk during the quiet hours.

I never go to Chapel.

I took one too many convo
cuts.

I borrow and lend student
identification cards.

1 have a car hidden in a
garage on Sixth Street.

I have been known to sleep
in class.

I never sign out after ATL.

I do not like the Judicial
Board.

I take silverware from the
dining room.

I sincerely believe that the
Bookstore and the (LDH) make
a profit.

I am secretly married.

1 live on first floor and I
have a removable window.

I played "Light My Fire"
on the Chapel organ.

I keep alcoholic beverages
in the third drawer from the
top.

I have missed phone duty
fourteen times.

I not infrequently give my
return address as ("Agnes
Scott Convent.")

I put slugs in the pay phones,

I run the washing machine
at 1 a.m.

Regretfully,
Miss Demeanor

HUAC has undertaken which was not speci-
fically anti-Communism. He supported the
open housing legislation, and later civil
rights legislation.

When it came time to run again in 1966,
Weltner entered the race and began a full-
scale campaign. This time I had the thrilling
experience of being a participant instead of
just an interested bystander. The campaign
was going strong as the election drew near.

Then a shocking thing happened. Weltner,
always a man to stand up for his convic-
tions, withdrew from the race. You see, the
Democratic party in Georgia has a loyalty
oath anyone running on the Democratic
ticket must agree to support all other Demo-
cratic candidates for office.

As most of you will well remember, Lester
Maddox, was the Democratic nominee for
governor of Georgia. Weltner felt that he
could not honestly support this man. There-
fore he could not uphold his oath as a
Democratic candidate. He made his choice
and withdrew from the race. In so doing he
said, "I love the Congress. But I will give
up my office before I give up my principles."

During the past two years, Weltner has
been busy with his role as the National
Democratic Party's youth chairman. He has
also opened a law office in Atlanta. But 1968
is an election year.

Maddox is no longer a candidate, and
Weltner is again running for the Fifth Dis-
trict seat in the House. I heard him speak
Monday night at the Wesley Foundation at
Georgia Tech and became convinced once
again that my original impression of him in
1962 was just the beginning of a deep ad-
miration and respect.

Yes, he is runningagain, and if at all possi-
ble, I'll be there to do my part if it means
stamping envelopes and running errands.
This business of politics is just too interest-
ing for me to leave alone, and it is men like
Weltner who make it that way.

Another dance weekend has come and gone and has made
another set of memories for everyone who took part. A dance
weekend two years ago, when I was a freshman, made an
indelible print on my memory, if not a permanent scar on my
soul.

I planned for the weekend all the first weeks of winter
quarter (I guess that's what I was doing; I certainly wasn't
studying as my grades showed). My mom brought me a dress
at home and mailed it to me and we went through the usual
trauma of "Will it arrive on time?*' I wasn't deeply worried
about that, however, for this was going to be a charmed week-
end and nothing could really go wrong.

The dress did come and it was black my first black
dress; 1 was going to be sophistication personified. I had to
have shoes to go with this cosmopolitan costume. I found the
shoes another first, my first sling backs; actually, they
were sling -back-and-sides with only a very small arch of
fabric over the toes to hold them on.

For that extra special touch, I decided to take the big plunge
and buy a hairpiece. I scraped together the price of the small-
est dynel knot and marched down to Rich's to make my pur-
chase. The lady spent what seemed like hours blending the
thing to match my hair.

When she finished she asked me if I would like for her to
put it on me so that 1 could wear it home. I was horrified at the
suggestion; this hairpiece was special and would be seen by the
public for the first time only on that night of nights. I told her
I would rather carry it and she looked under the counter for
one of the special hairpiece boxes to put it in. They were out
of them. She promised that she would have one sent out to me
when they came in and went over to another department and got
a box. I proudly carried my new hairpiece home in a white Rich's
cake box.

On the night of the dance, I put on all my regalia officially for
the first time. Last of all, I arranged my hairpiece on the back of
my head so that I wouldn't be taller than my date and went down
to meet him. I sent an advance scout down to the living room to
find out where he was sitting so that I could make my grand en-
trance on the opposite side and he would immediately get a full
view of me.

I pushed open the door which squeaked in announcement of my
entrance and paused in the doorway. My date looked up from his
magazine and then back down to continue reading. I strode over
in front of him, restrained a desire to kick him in the shins and
spoke his name. He looked up at me again and shock set in; we'd
only dated two years but he hadn't recognized me. I'm sure he
was even too surprised to form an opinion of my appearance.

We shivered our way to the dance in the below-zero weather.
Somehow Prichett's Cafeteria lacked the air of a place like the
Progressive Club, but I was a freshman and could overlook
those things.

My date and I both loved to dance so we planned to dance all
of the the numbers if we had the stamina we did, but my clothes

Believe it or not, but Peter
Yarrow has shaved off his
beard, and it hasn't changed
his voice one bit. The image of
the group in which he parti-
cipates with Mary Travers and
Paul Stookey has not suffer-
ed from the razor either.
Sunday, January 28, Peter,
Paul, and Mary presented their
annual concert at the Atlanta
Municipal Auditorium. As
usual, they were excellent and
captivated their capacity aud-
ience. There were several as-
pects to the concert this year
which were different from pre-
vious performances.

For one thing the introduc-
tions to the songs were brief
and the singing was more em-
phasized. Paul's usual period of
"Paul Talk" existed, but to a
much lesser extent than in past
concerts. His comic tendencies
seem to have given way to
a new interest in folk-jazz.
Paul's solo, accompanied by
Dick Kniss on the bass, of
"W hatshername" was one of
the highlights of the show.

The ole favorites were pre-
sent from "Puff the Magic
Dragon," which Peter says is
actually about a child's toy
and not about pot, to "If I Had
a Hammer." After going to sev-
eral concerts, one begins to
wonder if an audience can get
the trio to sing another song

after that one. She also ponders
the question of whether an aud-
ience has ever failed to give
a sufficient ovation to get them
to come back and sing that one.

Several new songs were in-
cluded this year which the group
not yet recorded. Many of the
numbers performed, however,
came from Peter , Paul, and
Mary's latest, and to many
minds best, album entitled,
"Album 1700." (It happens to
be Warner Brothers' album with,
serial number 1700 what
original titles will they think of
next?).

"Whatshername", mention-
ed above, is a jazz song con-
cerning a man's chance meet-
ing with the girl he dated just
before he married "Ruth".
Also included in the concert
from 1700 were "Leaving on a
Jet Plane," "Weep for Jamie,"
"No Other Name," "The Great
Mandella," "I Dig Rock and
Roll Music," and "The Song
is Love."

All of these songs, like the
majority of the numbers the
trio performs, are special be-

cause they have something to
say. From its very beginning
this singing group has had things
on its mind and the courage to
go ahead and say them. "The
Great Mandella" deals with the
problem of the pacifist in Nazi-
Germany or today; "I Dig Rock
and Roll Music" is a satire on
the modern music of today.

Richard Wright, in his book
of short stories called "Eight
Men," discussed a Negro's
first encounter with some white
waitresses. After he had work-
ed with them in the kitchen for
awhile, he concluded that, "The
words of their souls were the
syllables of popular songs."

If someone were to apply that
to the syllables of Peter, Paul,
and Mary's music, I, for one,
would be highly complimented.
This is a group which is worth
hearing in concert or on
record.

Dandie Dinmont to Poodle a ?rl?Ll!!Z

(CONT. FROM P.2)

All Belong to ASC Faculty

by Jenny Mauldin

Do the professors at Agnes
Scott actually have pets?

Many of the faculty answer-
ed, "Yes we dol\l When they
continued, it was obvious that
none of them happened to be
referring to Scotties at least
not the Agnes Scott variety. But
all was not lost. One can pick
up a lot of interesting, even
though useless, information
while talking to these people
about their pets.

For instance, Jack L.Nelson
comes from a family of Dandie
Dinmont terrier owners. That's
right. Everyone in his family
has one of these little dogs
which are rare in the United
States. The breed originated in
Scotland and took its name from
one of Sir Walter Scott's
characters, Dandie Dinmont

(who else?), who owned a couple
of them.

Mrs. Miriam Drue ker has two
poodles, Penny and Charlie
Capsule, both of whom are well
travelled. While traveling up
and down the East Coast with
her nose in Mr. Drucker's
Pocket, Penny developed a
philosophy of life: People were
put on earth 1) to love Penny
and 2) to be loved by her. (Mrs.
Drucker, are you sure her trips
were on the East Coast?) Char-
lie is frustrated because he
enjoys chasing squirrels, but
he just can't catch them. Just
as that little monster gets al-
most within reach, splatl That
same fence always pops up.
There's Charlie on one side and
that squirrel is on the other,
laughing Charlie has been

foiled again.

Mrs. Margaret Pepperdone
also has two poodles, Shanty
and Guided Missile. Shanty is
an International Champion while
Missile is more intellectual.
Missile is very perceptive and
understands "everything" Mrs.
Pepperdene says. Perhaps
that's because his great-grand-
father stood in caves and watch-
ed the Canterbury Pilgrims
walk by. (Girls, if you sus-
pected that some of the stuff
she said about that poem
couldn't be found in any book...)

Did you know that Mrs.
Drucker and Mrs. Pepperdene
are related? Yep. Mrs. Druck-
er's poodle, Charlie Capsule,
is the son of Mrs, Pepper-
dene's Guided Missile.

didn't. My new black dress was cut so that it required a strap-
less foundation garment; this coupled with my slingbacks and
hairpiece provided a nice counterpoint to the dance. While I danc-
ed (or even walked), I teetered on the treacherous shoes and
clutched with one hand at the front of my dress and with the other
at the nape of my neck. Every few minutes I excused myself
and wobbled to the ladies room to hitch up my front and shove
up the back of my head. The rhythm of the whole evening was
dance, dance, dance, wobble, hitch and shove.

A Medical Answer For

MUSCULAR J

Low Back Eiin

Promptly Relieves Pain
So Stiff Muscles Loosen Up and
You're Back Into Action

Doctors who specialize in back troubles report most
aching backs are due to weak, tense muscles
which can go into painful spasm as you suddenly
bend, stretch or twist. To relieve such backache doc-
tors recommend the pain-relief compound in Anacin 1 *
Analgesic Tablets. And Anacin gives you more of this
medication than any other leading tablet.

Anacin is a special fortified formula. It promptly
relieves pain, helps reduce swollen tissues, and so re-
leases pressure on sensitive back nerves. Then notice
how stiff muscles loosen up and you move around with
greater ease.

Only Anacin has this special fortified
formula. It's not found in any other prod-
uct. See if Anacin's exclusive formula
doesn't work better for you.

David Forsythe Discusses
Crisis In North Korea

The crisis created by the
seizure of the United States in-
telligence ship "Pueblo" re-
mains unsolved after a week of
diplomatic negotiations by the
U.S. Questions remain un-
answered concerning the posi-
tion of the ship, motivation for
the seizure, and the course
diplomatic negotiations will
take.

David Forsythe, assistant
professor of Political Science at
Agnes Scott, discussed the situ-
ation recently. He stated that
the ship could have been within
the twelve-mile limit at some
previous time, but that at the
time of the seizure, the "Pueblo"
seemed to be in international
waters. Though the U. S. pre-
fers a three-mile limit, it does
adhere to the twelve-mile lim-
it preferred by come countries.
He said that even if the "Pueblo"
had been within the twelve-mile
limit, the North Koreans had no
right to board the ship unless
it was asked to leave and re-
fused.

byBecky McRae

The Soviet Union usually ad-
heres to limits claimed by oth-
er countries, he said, because
it is interested in protecting
its own rights to operate simi-
lar spy ships.

Forsythe excluded the Soviet
Union from direct involvement
in the seizure, saying that the
Soviets had little to gain from
such action. "The Soviets have
been trying to develop better
relationships with North Korea
recently, " he continued. North
Korea has leaned more in the
direction of Chinese Commun-
ism in recent situations, and
has exercised a more militant
type of communism. Fear of
driving the North Koreans to-
ward the Chinese is one reason
why the Soviet Union has been
hesitant to apply pressure to
them.

Forsythe emphasized the fact
that all efforts to explain the
motivation for this seizure must
be speculative at this point. He
believes that North Korea was
acting independently from eith-

er of the two major countries
and suggested three reasons
possibly influencing North
Korea. He first proposed that
the seizure was an attempt to
better the position of the mili-
tant faction within the North
Korean regime. Domestic
p ropaganda value would be great
from the seizure.

A second motivation, he stat-
ed, could be ideology, particu-
larly one of militant communist
aggression. However, he called
this a much weaker possibility
than the first one. The third
reason he proposed would be to
aid North Vietnam by involving
the U.S. and weakening its po-
sition in Vietnam. Forsythe re-
garded this as the weakest of
the three possibilities. Cap-
ture of the Pueblo occurred just
before a truce period in Viet-
nam, and this would be strate-
gically the wrong time to make
such an effort.

Requests Of Management

Communication Gap

problem of communication here. It really seems that girls

of serious talk, and this is simply because there is so much talking
that some vital truths do come through.

"I am pleased to learn from
my daughter, Susan, that the
Wellesley Senate has approved
a change in dormitory regula-
tions that will permit boys to
visit in girls' rooms. This
seems to me to be in accord
with current trends to give re-

concerned that our children
should not take privileges of this
kind as a license for inappro-
priate behavior of any kind. On
the other hand, it is my firm
conviction that if we give them
a proper set of values in their
formative years, when they go
off to college it is no longer
necessary for the college to act
'in loco parentis.'
"For this reason, it is grati-
fying to see that Wellesley rec-

There are also large num-

not be taken from the dining
hall; if any are found on the
halls, Lind would like for them
to be returned immediately.

Another request of the dining
hall personnel is that students
do not waste food by taking more
food from the lines than they can
eat.. Lind reminds students that
they are welcome to go back
for second helpings anytime
except Saturday night. He add-

causing the food service added
costs to their allowed budget and
cou'd cause a rise in fees in the
future.

A final request of the manage-
ment is that students leave their
coats and books on the hooks,
hangers, and shelves provided
for them or else leave them in

by sandra earley

This is your returned Washington correspondent speaking. Last
weekend I spent four days studying the state of the nation's capi-
tal and the workings of the country's student press. The na-
tion's capital is still there and Georgetown is great.

Otherwise it looked like the land of the free and the home of
the unwashed. Earley in the fall I mentioned the Atlanta
heepies in a column. OhI Hone-eel (as my sister would say)
That California branch imported to D.C. are really something
else.

What a sweet southern belle (i.e. Georgia peach) was doing in
that evil northern city most people couldn't figure out, but
Kay Parkerson and I just let them wonder and did our dern-
dest (oh I pardon me I) to keep up the image.

We were attending a conference of college newspaper edi-
tors. The place was inhabited, 'er, overrun by heepies. I felt
like I was being held prisoner in an east coast Drop City.
It was rumored that they burned pots (whatever that is) in the
corners of the Park Ballroom and I know for a fact that they
didn't even bathe.

I did see a lot of people among them that I thought I recog-
nized John Keats, Pancho Villa, HarpoMarx. Then there was
the one I learned to recognize. Kay and I affectionately called
him Claw Shoulder. He was the usual heepie (and believe me
after four days they got to be usual) with long hair cascading
downward from rhe top of his pointed head, sandals and handle-
bar moustache. He was also wearing a brown and gray serape
-- he, like several others, affected the Mexican motif rather
than the Navajo one. There was something sticking up perpen-
dicular to the shoulder of it. I had to squint my eyes a little
to see certainly couldn't get close enough to let him see me
looking. Yes, by golly, it was a furry white claw amputated
just above the ankle. Poor little furry white animal.

Then there was one of the head heepies he looked affluent
(pardon the decadent, crassly commercial word) so he must
have been one of the chiefs of the tribe. He was pleasingly
plump with a Mitch Miller beard, a triangular-shaped head of
hair and a paunch that stuck through his open-front, ankle length,
pink brocade, patriarchal robe when he sat down.

A chair is a very structured object for such an unstructured
individual, so when he sat down he found it necessary to non-
conform to it as much as possible. He sort of braced himself
against it making the third side of a triangle on the chair with
his legs stuck stiffly out in front of him. His robe fell open in
this position and perched on his hillock of a tummy was a 35mm.
Yashica camera with a long, lewd lense. Mamma, I bet I know
now why they eat mouldy cheese and spoiled vegetables that the
nice supermarkets give them after closing time.

The heepies taught me lots of new words for my vocabulary.
They were even nice enough to write them down on the walls of
the bathroom after they had shouted them out in the meetings.
They taught me some new phrases, too, that I'll throw out down
here in the sunny southland to impress the other natives.
O.K., you guys. Don't g^t yourself uptight. Do your own thing.

The poll will be taken in con-

nar tentatively planned for this
quarter. It is designed "to
gauge student opinion on this
matter, and to relate opinion to
age and class in school."

Questions will cover degrees

debate as a "public forum"
to chastise capitalists.

He commented, "TheNorth
Korean statement that they are
capable of delivering an 'ex-
terminatory blow* against the
U.S. is absurd." He said the
statement led one to question
their rationality, both of thought
and action. Furthermore, he
stated that any action (military
force) taken by North Korea
would probably be vis-a-vis
South Korea. Direct aggression
against the U.S. is a "margi-
nal possibility."

If the U. N. Security Council
passes a resolution, its effec-
tiveness will depend largely on
the response of the Soviet Union.
"Russia could use this as a
'safety valve,' or excuse to
bring pressure on North Ko-
rea.' " Forsythe continued that
failure of the Soviet Union to
support a resolution might force
the U. S. to take unilateral ac-
tion.

The possibility of Chinese
support of North Korea is mar-
ginal. The Chinese fear hav-
ing American forces back in
Korea in large numbers. They
also wish to avoid any direct
confrontation with the U.S., or
chance of unification of Korea
on western terms. The Chinese
domestic situation, and the
loyalty of the army, is still
questionable.

said that some kind of retalia-
tion-diplomatic, economic, or
military-should be exercised,

He called the situation typical

VISTA Recruiters
Interview at Scott

Representatives of VISTA (Volunteers In ServiceTo America),
the fast-growing national corps of anti-poverty workers, will be
recruiting on the campus of Agnes Scott College on the dates of
Feb. 12-13-14 to seek qualified candidates who are willing to
spend a year of their lives in service to their country.

The recruiters will be locat-
ed in Buttrick Hall during the
recruitment drive.

VISTA recruits, selects and
trains volunteers and then as-
signs them to projects through-
out the country which have ask-
ed for help. They may serve
in urban slums, in rural areas,
at Job Corps Centers, on Indian
reservations, in migrant labor
communities, and in programs
for the mentally handicapped.
There are over 4000 Volunteers
in service and training, and
more than 2000 VISTA Asso-
ciates have volunteered to serve
for the summer months. How-
ever, there are requests for
10,000 VISTAs.

To join VISTA, one must be at
least 18 years old. There is no
upper age limit. The oldest
Volunteer presently serving is
an 84-year-old woman.

The jobs are not easy; they
are often routine, often frus-
trating, but they offer less for-
tunate Americans the chance to
obtain for themselves a better
future.

There are no entrance re-
quirements or examinations to
join VISTA. The pay is $50 a
month which is accrued month-
ly and paid in one lump sum
at the completion of service. In
addition, VISTA's receive an al-
lowance for personal expenses

and food and housing,

"If goslings can be hatched

it be possible to hatch calves
from big, round cheeses?" Im-
possible? The peasant in Hans
Sachs' play, "Das Kalberbru-
ten," thought it was an ex-
tremely good idea and pro-
ceeded to try to do it. The
results were hilarious and very
worth seeing, even if one wasn't
a student of German, in the two
plays presented by the Agnes '
Scott German department on
February 1, in Maclean Audi-
torium.

Excellent Acting

Thanks to some excellent act-
ing on the part of the casts of
both plays as well as some super-
ior make-up and costuming
jobs, the German department
can be justifiably proud of this,
its latest attempt on the stage.

The first play, "Der Fah-
rend Schuler mit dem Teufel-
banner," was the story of a
traveling student who gained
himself some money by conjur-
ing up the devil for a peasant
and his wife. In reality, the
"devil" was a priest in dis-
guise who had been carrying on
an affair with the peasant's wife
and who feared the student, who
knew what was going on, would
reveal the truth to the peasant.
He therefore consented to play
the devil in return for the stu-
dent's secrecy about the affair.

Gail Livingstone and Bar-
bara Paul are to be very highly
commended for their portray-
als of the peasant's wife and
A YearTowards the priest, respectively. Both

"Queens of France" by
Thornton Wilder is an 1869
tragic comedy set in New Or-
leans. The cast is: Marie-Si-
donie Cressaux, Lennard Smith;
Madame Pujeot, Joann Spen-
cer; Mamselle Pointeoin, Pa-
tricia Johnson; M'su Cahusac,
Vladimir Volkoff. The play
centers around a sly lawyer who
persuades each one of the three
women that she is the true heir
to the throne of France.

"Riders to the Sea" by John
Millington Synge is an Irish
tragedy. Maurya, Martha Ed-
dins, looses the last of her
sons and extends her grief to
everyone in the world. The rest
of the cast includes Judy Lang-

ford as Nora, Mary Chapman
as Cathleen, and Michael J.
Brown as Bartley.

Cathi Ford, who is president
of Blackfriars, said in discuss-
ing these one-act plays that she
appreciates the freedom which
drama students have to try out
their own ideas and to assume
the responsibility of directing a
play.

playing it to the utmost. Terri
Langston and Emory University
professor William Fletcher al-
so did very well with their re-
spective roles of the peasant
and the traveling student. Al-
so, particularly with this play,
the costuming and make-up
were exceptional and added a
great deal to the characters of
the players.

'Das Kalberbruten'

With the second play, "Das
Kalberbruten," the German de-
partment showed itself again
capable of producing some fine
acting talent, particularly in
Vicky Hutcheson's portrayal of
a goose brooding on her eggs.

This second play told of a
lazy husband who allowed the
calf to fall in the well while
his wife was at market and who
consequently decided that if
goslings can be hatched from
goose eggs, surely calves can
be hatched from cheeses and he
might thus escape the wrath of
his wife on her return. This
he proceeded to try, calmly
brooding on a nest of cheeses
when his wife returned, with the
result that his wife thought him
crazy and called in the priest.

When the story came out of
what had happened, the priest
admonished the wife for keeping
her husband so in fear of her;
but at this point both husband
and wife turned on the priest
and told him to mind his own
business. The story ended hap-
pily with the wife deciding that
since she was stuck with such a

stupid husband, she might as
well be happy with him.

In this play Becky Naylor
played the energetic, overbear-
ing peasant's wife while Vicky
Hutches on was the henpecked
husband and Sam Shiver of
Emory University was the
priest.

Action-Packed

Both of the plays were filled
with action and quite easy to un-
derstand, even without the aid
of a complete knowledge of
German. The acting, also, was
very good, the players fitting
easily and well into their parts
with an excellent sense of the
sixteenth century conditions in
which the plays were written
Sachs* main purpose being to
poke fun at the corrupt clergy
and stupid peasantry of his time.

The German department de-
serves high commendation in
its choice of plays, and actors,
as well as in its costuming
skill.

FEBRUARY 16, 1968

Atlanta Dance Group
Performs in Dana

Tonight at 8:15 p 0 m. in the Dana Fine Arts Building, the At-
lanta Contemporary Dance Group will present "A Projection
Across Silence."

This program is an attempt
to bring together a unity of the
visual in the form of body move-
ments with the auditory in
sounds and words. The pro-
gram was commissioned last
year by WGTV for a series
' 'Our Musical World; ' ' this year
several new compositions have
been added to the live produc-
tion.

Both poetry and music are
used in the auditory part of the
show; the poems of Carl Sand-
burg are coupled with a per-
cussion compositions by John
Cage, a contemporary piano
work by Mel Powell, several
original composition by Geor-
gian, Margaret Fairlie, and a
song composed and sung by
Mary Emma Conaughey.

The program begins with
breathing, the most fundamen-
tal of all rhythmic movements.

It builds^ from here to more
complex combinations of
sounds, words and music.

The Agnes Scott Department
of Speech and Drama is co-
operating with the dance group;
the Play Production 216 class,
under instructor Jerry Rentz, is
designing and executing lighting
for the show.

Commenting on the program,
head of the department, Ro-
berta Winter, said, "I really
think it's a revelation to most
college students; they haven't
had' a chance to see anything
like it. It's unusual, a real
treat."

The group is sponsored by
the Atlanta City Parks and Re-
creation Department and this
performance of the program
was arranged through the Arts
Council of Druid Hills. Ad-
mission is free.

Jaunt Proceeds Go
To Three Charities

Junior Jaunt, extending over the weekend of February 22 to
24, will support three charities. The vote of the student body
was so evenly divided between the true choices that the co-
chairmen decided to support all three.

first of many surprises. Hip-
pies were quite in evidence
here and seemed to feel at
home.

They were even more numer-
ous at the"Facilitator" inter-
views (A kind of '68 up-tight
ice breaker) later that evening.
While Sandra was being inter-
viewed and later interviewing
others, I wandered down to the
all night non-stop underground
movie show. My mind was sti-
mulated, but my sophisticated
digestive system nauseated by
the numerous anti-war and
avant-garde film presentations.
My saturation point was reach-
ed by "The War Game,", a
documentary made by the^
B.B.C. about the outcome of a
nuclear war on Britian. It was
judged too shocking to be shown
on public T. V. however, and is
just now making the rounds of
underground theatres.

The next mornings' activitie
included a light show and the
keynote discussion. Both left
us rather cold and feeling as if
we weren't trying hard enough.
The light show was a rehash
of the prevelent anti-war senti-
ments and frankly wasn't as
satisfying to me as the one held
at A.S.C.'s own love-in.

The key-note discussion was
an attempt at close communi-
cation among 500 students by the
use of an elaborate micro-
phone set-up and staff members
planted in the crowd to stimu-
late discussion. The members
of an experimental hippie com-
munity in Colorado were pre-
sented much in the manner of
prophets of the future. All at-
tempts by the editors to ques-
tion them and their beliefs in

any traditional manner were
stifled and ridiculed by the
hippies and their supporters.

A feeling of confustion and a
lack of understanding of pre-
sent events had already taken
hold of the majority of the
editors by lunchtime, but cri-
tical discussions dominated all
conversation both now and for
the remainder of the con-
ference.

That afternoon was taken up
with various sessions, mostly
in the form of games (games
seemed to be in this year).
One was described as a game
to "Demonstrate the distortion
of input from a total field
through transmission process;
requires editorial abilities of
participant to reconstruct a
unified image from a variety of
receptors' mosiac of informa-
tion; demonstrate one aspect of
game principles, whereby play-
ers have limited information to
analyze a total field; to disci-
pline electronic media. "So
much for lucid journalism; we
never did figure out what the
game was.

Other sessions consisted of
students in a circle touching
finger-tips to communicate;
finger painting as a means of
expression; and dancing in front
of a color T. V. with lights to
make meaningful patterns.

The next afternoon crystaliz-
ed student opinion and precipi-
tated the first extra-curricular
action of the conference. Under-
ground grumbling during the
first 24 hours had turned into
concrete action by the second
evening. Several editors, dis-
gusted by the direction that the

OBSERVATIONS

Agnes Scott Has
Got the Blahs

The winter quarter "blahs" seem to
have taken over the Agnes Scott campus
with a little more vigor this year than in
recent years. Many students are seeking
to discover the reasons and to make an ef-
fort to remedy the situation.

We think several factors could be cited
for the general droopy feeling of Scott
at the present time. The weather itself
is an obvious contributor to the problem;
when snow is no longer a novelty, the situa-
tion has got to be bad.

Peggy Moore, in Rep Council Tuesday,
suggested another factor causing the ap-
parent student apathy, and we think it is
a valid one. This is the first time in sev-
eral years that no major policies are being
considered for change 0 The drinking and
apartment policies have already undergone
revision; the changes now being made are
more subtle and not quite so dramatic.

This does not mean that these changes
are less important, however. Education
Committee, under the direction of Betty
Derrick, is seeking to amend some of the
academic regulations in the handbooko
Handbook Committee has come forth with
some concrete suggestions which will
greatly increase efficiency and decrease
ambiguity.

A joint Judicial-Representative Council
committee is meeting with the Adminis-
trative Committee to gain a mutual ground
of understanding and to ameliorate student
problems. Food Committee is striving
to arrive at some degree of concensus among
students and dining hall personnel.

Some positive steps have been taken this
quarter which would affect the morale of
all students. The revised dress policy
has been formulated and passed by student
government. It now awaits its venture into
Administrative Committee where it will
hopefully pass.

The .freshman class's well-conceived
Name Tag Day was an effort to overcome
some of the "blahs" and to put the friendly
smiles back on the faces of Scotties. It
worked to some extent, and the Jiminey
Crickets are to be commended.

The Rep Council Hub party Tuesday night
helped renew a tradition which had been
smothered--fun, friends, music, and cokes.
Even the disappearance of "Agnes Scott"
relieved the tension of the community to
some extent--thank you, Georgia Tech.

So don't feel that you are suffering
through the winter quarter "blahs" alone.
The administration, faculty, and student
government officers are aware of the at-
mosphere - -pe rhaps even more so than you
are--and they are trying to do something
about it 0

Next time the "blahs" attack you, don't
lock yourself and your Excedrin in your
room. Discuss the disease, not the symp-
toms, with someone and make an attempt
to drive the "blahs" far away. "Things
do go better" with friendship and human
concern. Don't turn off the rest of the
campus.

Dear Ramona,

While you are out there in the wilderness
trying to save the souls oops, I mean the
minds of the natives of whatever strange
country that is you are in, we here at ASC
have been venturing to save the sanity of the
school. Many strange things have been hap-
pening around here; it's a good thing you
aren't here or they might have been blamed on
you. As it was, the 3rd Walters crew ex of
2nd Main were assumed guilty until found in-
nocent.

Anyway, what happened was, that Agnes
Scott was kidnaped and it upset her darlin'
son George Washington (Scott, that is) so
much that he had to be put away. We've had
quite a trying time during the crisis, but
fortunately it has ended.

It all started a week or so ago you know
how I lose track of time when on a Mon-
day morning, someone discovered that Mrs.
Scott ("Agnes" sounds disrespectful) was not
in her usual place in the parlor in Main.
G.W.S. however, was still there and seemed
at first examination to be bearing up well
under the strain.

However, when the doctors had left, his
true feelings began to show. Actually it was
quite a relief to know that he was upset
about the disappearance of his mother his
apparent coldness to the situation had gross-
ed out quite a few people.

His first strain was demonstrated by the
fact that he slipped a disc or something and
nearly fell off the wall. It rather reminded
me of the day that Lester Maddox was elect-
ed by the legislature and Ellis Arnall's
portrait fell off the wall of the Capitol.

Anyway, back to the main story. George
W. Scott had to put away in an institution

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR j

To the Editor:

Here's the first of several clues
for you to solve and then to use.
Although it may take quite a
while, we pledge you'll get her
back in style.

Sweet Agnes sits just one floor
higher;

home she'll come should you
not tire.

She's not alone like just before
she trotted out of your front
door.

Ostensibly we cannot say
exactly where she's come to
stay.

But we can hint and hope you'll
find her with her back to a hard
binder.

Now, this is not a ransom note,
although it may seem when we
quote from Savage and his views
on vice

The greatest factor there is
"price".

It does no good to rant and
rave, or plead in chapel just to
save her soul ...she's safe, and
hanging roun' until your wits
can track her down.

We know our crime, it's quite
demure, and retributive threats
won't cure.

But should you have a word to
say; we buy a paper every day.

To the Editor:

The title of Jenny Mauldin's
recent PROFILE caught my eye s
but I was extremely disappointed
with the fact that, having chosen
a topic that could be treated in
a most interesting and humorous
fashion, and having made reference
to the ASC faculty in its entirety,
you left so many of "us" out.

Why, among the members of
the French department alone,
"we" number a poodle, a Saint
Bernard, six cats, a "Scottie"
( CONT. ON P.4)

which was rumored to be Miss Scandrett's
office. That fact, however, is only hearsay.

In the meantime, Mrs. Scott was gone for
over a week. Ramona, you can just imagine
our horror that the portrait was gone, how-
ever, business went on as usual. It was on
Saturday that I became directly involved in the
events.

I had gone to my mailbox on my usual
daily trip, hoping to have some greetings
from you out there wherever you are was it
Lepahc Llih or something like that? Instead
I found a letter to the Editor of the PROFILE
It was typed and I figured it was probably
just another unhappy customer (did I tell you
that we finally got an addressograph).

Anyway the letter, which I'm enclosing, was
a poem from the person who kidnapped Mrs.
Scott with clues to where she is. I turned it
over to the proper authorities-i-i.e. C. Benton
Kline Jr., Dean of the Faculty, who turned it
over to the brain power on campus i.e.
P. J. Rogers.

In his usual form, Mr. Rogers figured out
the answer. He followed his instincts and
was proved correct. There, in the Price-Gil-
bert Library at Georgia Tech, was, would you
believe, Agnes Scott.

With his mother back in her usual spot,
G.W.S. has again been declared sane and the
family is happily reunited. The whole affair
was quite exciting especially now that it has
a happy ending. But are you sure you didn;t
engineer it from your far away abode. Some-
times I think you'd do "an'thin'."

Write, will ya, Ramona. Cassandra sends
her greetings to you. We had a letter from
her the other day. Tell Butch hello when
you write him.

Love, Susan

Parley risings S

J by sandra earley

Approaching the twoth anniversary of tooth day, I think it's
high time this auspicious occasion be recorded in annals of some
kind for posterity. It is already written on the ivory of Sandra
Earley's smile and now it will be immortalized in paper and
ink.

When I was a senior in high school and had been accepted
at what is (with luck) to become my alma mater, a male friend,
working under the finishing-school concept, quizzed me closely
on the condition of my teeth and eyes. It seems that he operated
on the principle that a girl couldn't goto ASC unless she had the
proper social qualifications of straight teeth (after three years
of braces) and a glassy-eyed stare (those little pieces of tinted
plastic will do it every time).

I couldn't quibble with him because I did have these attributes,
and still do, but I was rather angry. It seemed to put such a
label of artificiality and unnaturalness on me that was most un-
becoming (it would really be unbecoming if I staggered around in
my naturally blind, crooked-teeth state). If I was artificial then,
he should see me now after tooth day.

Tooth day began about 5 a.m. one winter quarter Friday morn-
ing just before my "Othello" paper was due; I'll never know
how much effect that paper had on my life. I had been sleeping
soundly when suddenly I awoke and knew quite definitely that I
was going to be embarrassingly sick at my stomach. So as not
to make the situation any more humiliating than it was already
going to be, I took time to put on my robe and slippers before
I went racing down the hall to the bathroom. That was my
downfall literally.

I don't remember anything about the race until I regained
consciousness flat on my face in the hall outside the bathroom
door. I realized immediately that this was not where I needed
to be, so I picked myself up and lurched into the bathroom
where I accomplished what I had set out to do. After it was
all over, I found that I had lost more than my dinner I'd
also lost about half of one of my front teeth.

Another girl on the hall who had gotten up early to study
and heard my journey down the hall had thought someone had
come in a little tipsy (Sniff! At Agnes Scott?) and had come out
to see what she could do. She recovered the remains of my
enamel from the tile of the hall floor.

She also roused by roommate who was a real help to me in
my illness. Patsy stood outside the bathroom door and shouted
encouraging phrases to me as I retched inside. She has a very
adverse reaction to this particular kind of sickness.

After things had calmed down a bit and I was feeling somewhat
better, Patsy helped me stagger down the hall to the phone to
call my parents and tell them about my tooth. I had both pieces of
my tooth back then one half in my mouth and the other in my
hand. When I told my dad which tooth I'd broken, he cried alot
as years of orthodonist bills flashed across his field of vision.
But he told me to go to bed and he and mother would drive down
to see me and assess the damage.

Little did he know the extent of the damage he'd find. I had
been going through the usual freshman rebellion-sophistication
procedure when I got back to school from Christmas holidays.

'Half A Sixpence' Has
Good Music, Trite Plot

Dr. Harold C. Jones
Is New Botany Prof

Harold C. Jones, recently retired from the faculty of the
Woman's College of Georgia, is currently the interim teacher of
botany. He received his B.A. and M.A. degrees from Oberlin
College where his father was head of the Ecology department.
He earned his Ph.D. at George Peabody College for Teachers in
Nashville, Tennessee.

Although educated in the
north, Dr. Jones has done
most of his teaching in the deep
South. He taught at Berry Col-
lege in Rome, Georgia for 13
years, then moved to East
Carolina College where he
taught for seven years. He then
returned to Berry for two years
as head of the Biology Depart-
ment.

During his years of teaching,
Dr. Jones has had many un-
usual experiences. One of these
was escorting a group of stu-
dents on an eight week trip
from Oberlin to the West coast
-- camping out, all the way.
He was assistant professor on
these trips for nine years.

The students received full
credit fur iheir work in taking
samples and making on the spot
studies of biology life in the
desert, on the mountains, and
in the sea (Pacific Ocean). Dr.
Jones commented, with a grin,
that many marriages came out
of those trips.

Having taught under a co-

educational system and in a
female education system, Dr,
Jones had some interesting ob-
servations on the academic
responses. He feels that girls
tend to be more competitive
with a few men in the class.
The presence of male stu-
dents stimulates the latent bat-
tle of the sexes and in most
cases, according to Dr.Jones,
the girls seem to win out.

At first you wonder if you are,
in fact, in the right theatre.
The marquee outside advertised
Paramount Picture's new musi-
cal, "Half A Sixpiece," but the
opening shots of the film are
enough to convince you that you
are viewing "The Sound of
Music."

Soon, however, the qualities
of "Half a Sixpence" begin to
show up for themselves. Based
on H. G. Wells' novel "Kipps,"
the musical tells a triangle love
story about a poor boy who in-
herits a fortune, abandons his
girl friend, gets engaged to a
rich girl and then marries the
poor girl after all

Trite

Sound trite? Well it is. The
outcome is predictable, the plot
is almost non-existent, the
Cockney accents are very fam-
iliar to American viewers by
now after so many British films
recently.

Just what is it then that makes
this movie distinctive? For one
thing, Tommy Steele, who plays
the lead role of Arthur Kipps,
is a very talented young man as .
an actor, singer, and dancer.
And he has the chance to show
off in all three fields in this
extravanganza. He's had plenty
of practice, too, since he play-
ed the role on the London and
Broadway stage for almost four
years.

Co-stars

Co-starring in the musical
are Julia Foster as Kipps* ori-
ginal and final girl friend, and
Penelope Horner, as his interim
fiancee. Both are good actress-

es and add much to the beauty
of the scenery.

One very upsetting thing
about this musical is that it
contains so many scenes which
seem taken from past shows.
The most evident ones are from
"Oliver, " "The Sound of
Music," "The Music Man," and
"My Fair Lady."

Music

The music, itself, however
is quite well written. Such songs
as "Half a Sixpence," "She's
Too Far Above Me," "If The
Rain's Got to Fall," written
by David Heneker, added to the
excellent choreography of Gil-
lian Lynne, redeem the film to
some degree.

Scenery

The scenery is enough to make
the history lover thrilled with

the movie, in spite of its trite
story. Producer-Director

George Sidney sjiot scenes in
historic Blenheim Palace, at
Henley-on-Thames, and in the

village of Tunbridge Wells. An-
glophiles should be quite in-
terested in the Blenheim Pa-
lace scenes; they provide an
intimate glance into the an
and decor of the Palace.

Right Mood

If you are in the mood for
about three hours of non-sen-
sical'plot, good singing, excel-
lent dancing, and beautiful scen-
ery, by all means go to see
"Half a Sixpence," which will
will open soon at the Martin's
Cinerma Theatre. If you want a
m ovie with a plot and some meat
to it, stay away.

earley risings (cont. from p. 2)

I had tried to take up smoking, but one cigarette had the same
effect on me as a quart of the hard stuff, so 1 had given that up.
I whipped myself into shape in other ways, but I had neglected
to tell my parents of any of them.

My parents arrived about lunch time and my mother came up to
see me immediately. She found me lying in my bed of pain,
green around the gills, with a jagged tooth looking like a broken
fingernail, freshly pierced ears and a bright red copy of "Lady
(Jhatterly's Lover" lying on the window sill next to me.

Parents are wonderful, however, and can forgive many things;
mine even forgave me for all of this. As soon as I was well
they packed me off to the dentist to have my tooth grown back.
My English professor even let me turn in my paper late. The
one blight on the horizon was the boy I went to visit at Wofford
the next weekend. My tooth was still sick then and I guess
it's just as well the fellow didn't give me much to smile about;
the cold air really hurt the raw edge.

Sophomore Production
Is Pleasant Surprise

Hippies Dominate
Press Convention

Perhaps the primary reaction
to the sophomore production of
"O Brave New World That Hath
Such People InV was a sense
of pleasant surprise. Not only
did this production include many
of the members of the class of
formerly acknowledged dancing
and acting talent, but also many
individuals who had not pre-
viously shown talent on the stage
here at Agnes Scott,

For those who did not attend,
the production, very briefly,
represented a setting in which
the magician Prospero (From
Shakespeare's "Tempest")
shows mankind to his daughter
Miranda. Mankind, or, more
often, womankind, was repre-
sented in eighteen short sket-
ches from popular writings
brief interpretive dances, read-
ings, songs each flowing one
into the other.

B The talent was undoubtably
excellent; if there is to be any
criticism it is that the audience
was not occasionally reminded
that it was watching man in ac-
tion as a human being, was
seeing man at his highs as well
as his lows rather than observ-
ing a college talent show.

The prologue and the epi-
logue seemed to attempt to
achieve this end with the lines
from "The Tempest," "We are
such stuff/As dreams are made
on, and our little life/Is rounded
with a sleep" but failed to car-
ry effectively this theme
throughout and therefore, fre-
quently lost impact which could
have made the play into a more
significant production.

The student parts were all
done so well that it was diffi-
cult to pick out the best but
some of those which will be
long-remembered will be Mari-
lyn Wooten and Carol Ann Mc-
Kenzie as Queen Elizabeth I and
Mary of Scotland, respectively,
in a forceful scene from Max-
well Anderson's "Mary of Scot-
land;" Hope Gazes as the gentle,
courageous Joan of Arc from
George Bernard Shaw's "Saint
Joan;" Juliann? Johnson's in-
terpretive dance of Lucy Wea-
therby from "John Brown's

ized chapel schedule, furnished
the Murphey Candler Building
(now affectionately called 'The
Hub"), and raised $25,000 for
the campus building program.

During the next decade they
published Campus Code, the
campus etiquette guide, and
gave Social Usage tests to the
entire student body. They also
started the Independent Study
program, gave the Scholarship
Trophy and encouraged chang-
ing the grading system from
merit-pass-fail to the present
system.

In some ways student life has
not changed so much. In 1949
Mortar Board recommended
more class discussion, classes
made more contemporary,
more emphasis on world affairs
and activities off campus,
changing the dancing and smok-
ing rules, and the reorganiza-
tion of Rep Council.

in the area in one-family homes
which are now multiple family

in the area. It employs three
staff members, an executive di-
rector and two residents of the
area. The Foundation is run
exclusively on a donation basis.
The proceeds from Junior Juant

conference was taking, began
formulating resolutions and
petitions for readjustment of
policy and proce-
dures. I stumbled into one
group of the editorially dis-
gruntled and was able to follow
their progress the next two
days.

On the next afternoon, dur-
ing the business meeting, two
resolutions on Viet Nam were
somehow tabled and the resolu-
tion of the gr.oup I just men-
tioned was being introduced
when pandemonium broke loose.
Three anti-war films on Viet-
Nam began to be shown simul-
taneously on one wall. After a
short while these were shut off,
police converged from all sides,
we were informed that we were
all under arrest, and the uproar
turned into a stampede. The
leader of the insurgent editors
called for a merting across the
hall. All were invi ted-even the
ever-present hippies.

Led by the editor who intro-
duced the resolution, the dis-
cussion was fast, furious, and
far-ranging. . The criticism
against the whole conference
finally came into the open and
was hotly debated. Sitting in that
small, hot, crowded room
charged with tension and emo-
tion, I felt confused, but very
involved in all that was happen-
ing. Nothing concrete was de-
cided, for opinion was too
separated and the subjects cov-
ered were too broad to be
settled. But communication of
the most personal sort had been
established.

We adjourned after^Wo fan-

tastically quick hours to attend
a news conference with Sen.
Eugene McCarthy. But our
guests, the hippies, jumped up-
on the platform to prevent Mc-
Carthy from continuing and also
bore in a coffin symbolically
containing McCarthy's ques-
tioning by the editors. Once a-
gain pandemonium broke loose,
and the second impromptu gripe
session was called.

By this time, many editors
were becoming suspicious of
all that happened. They began
voicing the conviction that all
of the activities had been con-
trived for the very purpose of
stimulating such a response
from us. The staff finally ad-
mitted that the police raid had
been a put up job and implied
that everything else wasn't to
be taken so seriously either.

It was quite humbling that
even your reactions had been
programmed in advanced to be
thus stimulated. But Sandra and
I both agreed that we have never
been so stimulated and provoked
in all our lives.

VOLUME LIV, NUMBER 15

Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030

MARCH L, 1968

All evidence points to the af-
firmative, says the South End of
Wayne State University, Detroit.

A growing number of students
is expressingdissatisfactionwith
their "representative" govern-
ments and their overall lack of
power. Many are disappointed
with their inability to effect
change in the areas of academic
reform and basic university re-
structuring.

Frustration

At Wayne, frustration is be-
coming increasingly evident. Two
Student-Faculty Council mem-
bers have resigned from the
Executive Board and others are
contemplating resigning. Many
othes do not intend to run for
re-election.

SF-C Chairman Chuck Larson
shares the disenchantment, "Stu-
dent government can never be
relevant to students at Wayne as
long as they allow the adminis-
tration to devlop the guide-
lines for its operation," he said.

"The SF-C is constituted by
means of a charter granted by
the President of the University.
He has the power to change it
at his discretion and has done
so in the past."

Reorganization

Larson said he recommends
reorganizing the SF-C "by giv-
ing students the opportunity to
decide what mechanism they want
to represent them. This mecha-
nism would be established and
would not negotiate with the ad-
ministration for the right to
exist."

"It destroys a student's self-
respect and is degrading," Lar-
son said, "to have to go to the
administration and ask them for
the right to have a voice. It is
an inalienable right of all people,
including students, to control

their own destinies."

Mark Shapiro, SF-C represen-
tative at the Convention of the
Michigan Association of Student
Governments, said he found "that
the majority of student govern-
ments around the state were even
in a worse plight than we are. It
is apparent that student govern-
ments are undemocratically
formed -- not on the basis of
one man-one vote."

u. of Mich.

The University of Michigan's
Student Government Council, in
an attempt to gain control over
the activities it undertakes and
allow for greater financial free-
dom, is incorporating under uni-
versity regulations.

Its chairman, Bruce Kahn, ex-
pressed dissatisfaction with stu-
dent government in general, sug-
gesting unions instead or possi-
bly no organization at all.

Students Examine
Own Governments

(ACP) Are student governments at universities around the coun-
try failures as they are now constituted? Are they due to be radically
changed -- or even abolished?

"Apathy is rooted into the
nature of education at American
universities," Kahn said. "There
will be no change in universities
until the American student be-
comes radicalized.

"Often student leaders them-
selves are at fault. Many are
interested in personal power
rather than student power."

Ed Schwartz, president of the
National Student Assn., express-
ed the sentiments of a growing
number of students at a national
conference on student power:

"The lesson is clear you
cannot keep any group in sub-
servience in a society which
purports to be free without that
group applying the standards and
hopes of democracy to its own
condition. The labor movement
said that in the 30s; the black
people have said it in the 60s;
the students will say it in the
late 60s and beyond."

A joint administration-faculty-
student committee has been
working to establish a memorial
in the name of Dr. S. Leonard
Doerpinghaus, teacher of biology
at Agnes Scott for ten years. The
Committee has been particularly
concerned that the memorial be a
living one: something that will
recall the warmth of Dr. Doerp's
friendship and the contagion of his
enthusiasm for his work and for
the college.

Dr. Doerp had a great desire
that students spend at least one
summer during their college car-
eer at a biological field station.
He felt so strongly about this that
at one time he proposed that the
biology department include a
summer of field study as a re-
quirement for the major. Al-
though this was not made manda-
tory, the department strongly
urges students to participate in
such summer programs. But, be-
cause scholarship aid for sum-
mer study in many places, es-
pecially at field research sta-
tions, is generally limited to
graduate students and to teach-
ers, few undergraduates can
spend a summer doingfield work.

In seeking an appropriate me-
morial for Dr. Doerp, therefore,
it was not at all hard to come to
the decision that a scholarship
fund for summer study at a bio-
logical field station would best
perpetuate his desire and would
open the way for summer study
at a field research station for
students who could not otherwise
afford it. The comnittee decided
to limit the eligibility for the
scholarship to rising junior and

AS Glee Club
For Concert

The Agnes Scott College Glee
Club, under the direction of
Theodore K. Matthews, and the
Men's Glee Club of the Uni-
versity of Georgia will present
a joint concert Saturday, March
2 at 8: 15 in Gaines Chapel. Pierce
Arant, director of the Men's Glee
Club, studied at Wofford College
and Yale University. He joined
the University of Georgia facul-
ty in 1966.

The program will consist of an
hour of both light and serious
music. The joint group will sing
Schubert's "Mass in G." Scott's
Glee Club will do three mad-
rigals and AaronCopeland's "An
Immorality/' The University of
Georgia group will singpieces by
Ives and Grieg, among others.

Mr. Mathews will direct ASC's
part in the program and the joint
performances of the Schubert
Mass.

The 35 boys in the Georgia
Glee Club will arrive on the
Scout campus Saturday afternoon.
They will rehearse and then have
dinner in the dining hall. Follow-
ing the concert there will be a
party for the two groups, hosted
by Agnes Scott.

There is no admission charge
to the concert.

Study Memorial
For Dr. Doerp

senior biology majors planning
to return to Agnes Scott to com-
plete the degree, so that the de-
partment will benefit from their
work and so that these students
in turn may encourage others to
take advantage of summer re-
search programs.

Gifts to the fund are not only
being made by students, faculty,
administration and staff, but also
by alumnae, personal friends of
Dr. Doerpinghaus, and friends of
the family. Many people outside
the college have expressed an in-
terest in the fund, and letters
have been written to inform the
biology majors from the period
in which he taught at Agnes Scott
of the fund established in Dr.
Doerp's name.

The Doerpinghaus Scholarship
Fund for Summer Study is a capi-
tal fund, which means that the fund
itself is invested by the invest-
ment committee of the Board of
Trustees; the scholarship is pro-
vided from the income on this in-
vestment. Because the cost of a

summer's study at a biological
field station is approximately
$400.00, an investment of $10,
000.00 (at an interest rate of 4%)
will be necessary to provide a full
scholarship. The award will be
made when the income on the in-
vestment is sufficient.

The recipient of the scholar-
ship will be selected by a joint
faculty-student committee. The
chairman of the committee is to
be the chairman of the depart-
ment of biology; she is to appoint
annually the other members. The
committee will make the award
on the basis of applications sub-
mitted to the chairman by the end
of each winter quarter.

The members of the college
community and the alumnae of the
last ten years are being given the
opportunity to make a gift to this
fund now. Alumnae will be able
to designate thattheir annual gifts
to the college become a part of
this fund; this procedure will also
apply for all alumnae gifts in the
future.

Seminar on Nations
Offered In Spring

An Interdepartmental Study Course on Developing Nations will be
offered spring quarter for five hours credit. This, the first course
of its kind in Agnes Scott's curriculum, will be open to 15 students
with first preference given to seniors.

The seminar can be taken for
credit in one of four depart-
ments history, sociology, poli-
tical science, or economics. The
"primary professors" in the
course include David P. Forsvthe,

Penelope Campbell, Renata Thi-
mester, and Anna Greene Smith.
Other faculty members parti-
cipating are Willaim G. Corne-
lius, Marie, Pepe, Kenneth Whit-
temore, and Kwai Sing Chang.

Class meetings will be held
each Wednesday evening from
6 to 9 p.m A separate hour
meeting will consist of students'
working with the faculty mem-
ber in whose department they will
be writing their paper.

Miss Campbell explained that
there will be about 200 pages
of required reading each week.
She went on to say that "a large
part of the success of the course
will be that people will have their
work as they go along."

Topics covered in the course
include history of the Far East,
Southeast Asia, Africa , Latin
America; a study of the eco-
nomic, political, and institutional
aspects of traditional culture,
the politics and economics of
modernization; population pres-
sure, and the future of national-
ism and developing nations.

As the course is planned, 65%
of the grade will be given for
the term paper. The research
for the paper will be directed by
one or more faculty members
whose academic field would most
closely relate to the term-paper
topic. The subject is chosen by
the students with direction giv-
en by faculty members.

The other 35% of the grade '
will be given for class partici-
pation and the oral presentation
of the term paper in class on the

last class day. Each of the four
major participating faculty mem-
bers will grade each student.
The statistical average of these
four grades will thus be the
participation part of the grade.

AA Sponsors
Blood Drive
On April 4th

Athletic Association will spon-
sor its annual Red Cross Blood
Drive April 4 from 1 to 6 p.m.
Prior to the spring quarter drive,
Dr. William Logen, thoracic and
cardiovascular surgeon from the
Emory Clinic, spoke in convoca-
tion on February 28. He discus-
sed recent developments of open
heart surgery laying stress on
the importance of blood donors
and blood banks in this field.

Wednesday night members of
Athletic Association will go to
meetings on each hall and an-
swer any questions students
might have. A. A. will get a list
of all students interested in being
blood donors and will send a per-
mission slip to parents o ( stu-
dents under 21, years of age who
want to give blood.

A. A. asks that each student
give serious thought to giving
blood. For the last two years
participation has dropped mark-
edly. Last year less than one-
fourth of the student body par-
ticipated. However, since the
quota for the college was still
reached, the entire college com-
munity received coverage and a
member of the ASC faculty was
able to use the policy last sum-
mer.

Interdepart Course

The Interdepartmental Study Course plan-
ned for spring quarter is a ground breaking
step in the curriculum of Agnes Scott Col-
lege. We hope that this will be just the first
of many such courses for the future.

The professors participating in the course
this year deserve a special word of thanks
from the student body. Not only did they
conceive of and formulate the plans for the
course, but they also are teaching this
seminar on a voluntary basis in addition to
their regular teaching load. We hope that
the interest on their part will be echoed
by the students eligible to take the course.

Mailroom Mess

EDITOR'S NOTE: The following is a re-
print of an editorial which first appeared
in the February 9, 1967 edition of the PRC-
FILE. We do not often use "old copy", but
when the problem dealt with has worsened
instead of progressed, we deem it neces-
sary. Maybe this time it will do some good.

Everyone knows the mailroom is a horri-
ble mess, especially at that peak hour be-
tween 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, how-
ever, we are stuck. We may be stuck for
a long time; we are certainly stuck forthis
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 the postmark to the zip code in the re-
turn 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 package s and try on the clothe s
your mother has sent while standing in front
of the package window.

Do not discuss your date last night while
standing in front of a number of boxe s, 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 howyouhate
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 inButtrick.

In short, be careful and considerate of
others. Only through the efforts of individ-
uals can the mess created by students be
helped.

Goucher
LearnTo

The following article is taken
from the "Goucher Weekly*' of
Goucher College. Dr. Murphy
is the Chaplain at Goucher.

"There is no better way to
break the hold sex has over us
than to laugh at it/' Chaplain
Murry said as an answer to
today's sexual dilemma, in his
second sex sermon. He began
his semon by elaborating on the
idea that sex is not only what
we as individuals make it, but
what our sexually sick society
makes it.

Chaplain Says to
Laugh At Sex

by Elizabeth Crum

The elements of the values
of today's society include using
sex only for recreation and en-
tertainment. This compartment-
alizing dehumanizes sex by tak-
ing it out of the sphere of all
other human activities.

Double Standard

The double standard is also a
sick outgrowth of society's atti-
tude on sex. The college adminis-
tration is simply enforcing the
rules that "those who pay" ex-
pect to be laid down when they

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor:

Moliere's play, "Le Tartuffe"
has not lost its meaningful sting-
it seems that the hypocrite of the
sixteenth century is still here
though through his Archimagoan
powers he has assumed a dif-
ferent form. The peace move-
ment oncampusconsists of 12
people (2-3 of which are adults)
who stand in a line in front of
the dining hall staring stoically
into space - saying nothing, do-
ing nothing, and I dare say stand-
ing for nothing. Laying aside the
absurdity of their previous state-
ment, i.e. that they will stand
their vigil until the war is over,
and granting that various factions
prevent them from making a de-
finite policy statement (after
all, a peace group can not re-
sort to a tyranny that would
ask a member to uphold a state-
ment that may not agree with his
own) the campus would like to
know why they stand there every
Wednesday.

We thought with the seminar
being planned we would find out.
Even if the seminar were heavily
weighted on the peace side
maybe in the comfort of their
own kind they would speak out.
Alas irresponsibility of a few
led to reorganization and even-
tually to complete abandonment
such "deus ex machina"
should happen to us all.

If they do have a stand and
granting each person has his
own view from anti-war to anti-
escalation why, when ap-
proached do they melt in to the
woodwork. An offer to plan ano-
ther seminar with a committee
of 3 Hawks and 3 Doves, based
around questions that have not
been explored too extensively,
was refused by our peace group.
Do they want others to join their
side? Do they want pity as the
minority group or are they fight-
ing (excuse the my vulgar lan-
gauage) for a principle. It is
interesting to note that our peace
sector resort to fly-by-night
undercover attacks in the LDH
and flame throwing in the Hub,
but when challenged to an open
confrontation they, like the Viet
Cong they support, dovetail into
the under brush, gently folding
their wings and taking up the
laurel of peace.

I do not object to the peace
movement - in fact I think it
would be stimulating to have
one here at A.S.C. What I do
object to is a group of students
who hypocritically call them-
selves a group when they repre-
sent neither people nor opinion.

If they are a group, where is
their group action? (All hail the

dining hall faithfully so?) If they
are a movement why don't they
move? If they are merely in-
dividuals, not banded together
than for Honesty's sake let them
shed their hypocritical title. This
is a call for a Peace movement
on our campus, one which has a
point based on fact not prejudice
a group willing to attack and to
defend, a movement that will
make itself felt. This is a call for
the lazy who haven't the energy
and vitality to fight in a war or
against it to get their carcasses
out of the way and let those who
do peace or otherwise explore
the question!

There is nothing worse than
apathy that dons the cloak of
activism. Such a hypocrite-per-
son or group, should De revealed
for what they are and ignored.

Name Withheld

insist on numerous rules for
girls and none for boys.

The New Morality, of which
Chaplain Murry is a proponent,
claims sex is permissible with
love, but that is not to be mis-
understood as romantic love,
something young people fall in
and out of many times.

What to do?

Chaplain Murry gives two
answers to the question "What
can we do about this dilemma?'
The first is to launch a full
scale attack on our society's val-
ues and replace them with the
positive religious views of Chris-
tianity, an ideal, but necessary
step that will take years.

Some of these religious pers-
pective are that sex is good, be-
longs to the total person and that
to make virginity an absolute val-
ue is to make something human
an absolute, when only God is
absolute.

Seriousness

Another more immediate solu-
tion is to take the whole subject
of sex less seriously. Sex isn't
as important as we are making
it today. We should not make it
so all-important that it rules us.
We should learn to laugh at and
about sex because sexual humor
removes the proud man's mask
most quickly and points out the
discrepancy between our spirit-
ual and physical needs. Trans-
cendence of the self is a source
of freedom, and if we are able
to use it as a means to a hap-
pier life.

by sandra earley

The average student can be pushed a long way, but eventually she
does reach a limit, a limit after which she will rebel. She may not
rebel in large, blatant ways like dropping out of school or mana-
ging to get thrown out, but she will invent smaller, subtler ways
to rationalize her way out of studying.

Here types one of the masters of finding ways to avoid studying;
(nota bene: writing a column takes up time that could be spent
studying wouldn't you like to write for the PROFILE). I'd like
to pass on to you some of my handy-dandy, sure-fire time-wasters
so that the next time you feel the need to rebel, you won't have to
waste any time thinking up a way to do it. Mind you, I specialize
in creative, unconventional time wasting so that the usual excuses
like ironing or card games won't do.

For brief study breaks I recocommend toenail cutting and stomach
scratching. You really can't carry toenail cutting too far it gets
down to the quick, you know but it's good for a break about once
a week or if you don't cut but one toenail per break, it can last the
whole week. Stomach scratching feels wonderful, especially if you
have an itchy stomach, but I suggest you save it for the privacy
of your boudoir you'll get funny looks in the library.

To avoid studying for somewhat longer periods, completely leave
the environment in which you study. Take a tour through the bowels of
Presser and arrive under the Gaines stage to read the fallout shelter
instructions printed on the big green cans there. Or if you fear the
depths, rise to the heights (in several ways) and climb up to the third
floor of Buttrick, sit outside Mr. Brown's office door and wait for
him to light his pipe, all the while recalling the results of the poll
taken in Rebekah last year.

For those of you more cerebrally inclined, who desire to escape
but don't want anything physical involved, try to remember Catherine
Marshall's maiden name (she must have had one; she wasn't always
Catherine Marshall). Or you might ponder the implications for
states' rights in integrating band-aids. Or there is that question of
questions why are there two unicorns carved over the door of the
library? (For the answer to this last one see Dr. Hayes this in it-
self, is a good study escape.)

The possibilities for avoiding study are endless if you will be
creative and are truly dedicated to the cause of rebellion. The most
successful escape from the books is involvement get yourself
involved in student government, church, dating, etc. You will no
longer have to look for ways to avoid studying; you may even wish
(heresy of heresies!) that you had actually some time to spend
studying! This only happens to a very few, I must admit, so it is not
a real threat. Get out there and jump on the bandwagon; join up!
No one needs to study if she doesn't want to!

Victor Frankl Speaks On Meaning of Life

by Ann Willis

"Man's Search for values in a
World of Meaninglessness" was
the title of a brilliant address
given by Victor Frankl at the
American Association of Uni-
versity Women's conference
held recently. Dr. Frankl, found-
er of logotherapy and now head
of the neurological department ol
Viena's famed Poliklink Hospi-
tal, has written several books,
the most famous of which, Man's
Search for Meaning, deals with
the author's experience in World
War II concentration camps and
presents his theory of logothera-

py-

This conference, entitled
"Man's Search For Values in A
World of Change", also in-
cluded two panel discussions in
which Ann Teat , senior at Agnes

taught or imposed. It must be
discovered. However, Dr. Frankl
observes that many people today,
particularly young people, live in
an existential vacuum. These
people experience an inner void,
a feeling of meaninglessness in
life.

Dr. Frankl attributes this in-
ner vacuum to two sources: 1)
man is no longer dominated by
blind drives and instincts 2)
neither is he willing to accept the
dictates of tradition. He is
frightened by this meaningless
freedom and attempts to escape
it by allowing others to tell him
what to do or by conforming to
what others are doing.

Man can find meaning in the
world, and not merely through
escape mechanisms, such as psy-
chedelic drugs. Dr. Frank as-
serts that the taking of drugs rep-
resents an empty individual's at-
tempt to provide meaning. The
tragedy in this is that it is often
done at the cost of finding the
real meaning that is "out there"
in the world.

Questioning the meaning of
existence must be seen as some-
thing to be proud of, as a coura-
geous act, a manifestation of in-
tellectual honesty, and not as a
disease, as something to be
ashamed of. The individual de-
spairing over the meaningless-
ness of life must see himself as
struggling with the question that

has confronted other men. This
courage to challenge must be
matched, however, by a patience
to wait for meaning to come.

Dr. Frankl believes that direct
pursuit of happiness, success,
or power is futile. These things
can only ensue, must occur, as a
by-product of finding meaning.
Man must fulfill the demands of
his particular life situation and
find meaning in them, and the oth-
er things will come.

The meaning which man must
search for has a kind of objective
quality of requirement, but it is a
very personal thing. To talk about
it in general terms is impossible,
for it must be found by the indi-
vidual. Values are universals
and are largely dictated by socie-
ty, but meaning is unique.

One way to find meaning is
through conscience. Frankl de-
fines conscience as the "intui-
tive capacity to arrive at unique
meanings for the unique situa-
tion confronting us". Conscience
determines meaning and choice,
the selectivity based on respon-
sibility in a situation. Conscience
transcends Freud's superego
which encompasses values, and

may contradict or oppose it. The
conscience is not built up through
conditioning but begins where the
individual no longer fears punish-
ment or expects rewards but does
something for its own sake.

Reductionism is the term
Frankl uses for behaviorism and
other strictly scientific ap-
proaches to behavior. Man is in-
finitely more than a machine or a
rat, and when all the condition-
ing processes are arrived at, the
question "Where is man?" still
remains unanswered. These ap-
proaches are specializations, and
are valid as such, but Frankl sees
a real threat when these special-
ists over-generalize. Reduction-
ism defines the "nothing-but-
ness" of man and is a nihi-
listic approach. Existentialism
propounds the "no-thingness
object that can be manipulated
for other ends, but is an end
in himself.

Being fully human means being
directed and pointed to some-
thing beyond the self. Thus, the
religious person is one that is
convinced that there is an ulti-
mate meaning although he may

not have grasped it. When one is
convinced that there is an ulti-
mate meaning, then nothing will
shake this faith. The role of psy-
chiatry is to help man find his
own meaning whatever that may
be.

Jr Variety Show Is
Lively And Spicy

by Elizabeth Crum

"Variety is the Spice of Life" as the Juniors proved with their
Junior Jaunt Variety Show. Ranging from the Barber Shop Quartet
of Adams, Matthews, MacDowell and Martin, to McKemie's Mangy
Mongrels, to a melodrama with McNair, Byers and Alston, the
show starred faculty, students and faculty children.

One of the highlights of the
show was "Poets at Large at Ag-
nes Scott." Margaret W. Pepper-

PAGE 4

dene introduced the visiting poets :<
and poetess, B. VV. Ball, Jo Allen
Bradham, and Jack L # Nelson.
Mr. Ball's poem had a very fa-
miliar ring for the Scottie
"When Your Can Do Can't Keep
Up With Your Want To." Wear-
ing like Deonne Warwick or Nina
Simon, Miss Bradham explained
that "A Girl Don't Have to Drink
to Have FunI" Mr. Nelson, our
"flame after Frost" (hiss, boo),
recited his poem "Soul Man."
Inspired by Mr. Nelson's "Soul
Man," Mrs. Pepperdene render-
ed "My Big Truck Driving Man."

Giving the audience a chance to
hold its side and catch its breath,
the Juniors presented musical
entertainment with the Von Fa-
culty Family Singers, two two-
piano selections by Becky and
Alice Griffin, and soloist Paul
L. Garber.

"Lebensraum: A Planning
Commission Report" of ASC
(Stalag ASC) and Letitia Pate
MESS Hall was presented by K. Z.
Donner. (Perry), and S. S. Blit-

zen. (Richmond). They solved
the problem of the sophomore
slump by eliminating sophomores
and of extracurricular activities
with clubs like the Laundry So-
ciety and the Maintenance Club.
They didn't solve the rat problem
though. Lee B. Copple and Miriam
K. Drucker proved beyond a sha-
dow of a doubt that some psycho-
logist, Thomas W. Hogan, in par-
ticular secretly desired to be-
come experimental rats and
thwart P. J. Rogers.

Ever, a variety show of sugar
'n spice had to have something
nice. Melodramatically, "In the
Nick of Time," "Wonderful Wil-
lie," Wallace M. Alston, saved
"Pearl," Edna H. Byers, from
hard bargaining "Dastardly
Dan," W. Edward McNair.

All in all the Variety Show pro-
vided a refreshing change from
the every day routine. Although
the performances weren't always
perfect, or the sets changed
smoothly, or the notes on pitch,
Raggedy Ann, portrayed by Judith
M. Giles, and the Junior class
proved that "Variety Is the Spice
of Life."

Six Flags Announces
1400 Summer Jobs

The mam mouth job of inter-
viewing, screening and hiring
the 1400-plus hosts and hos-
tesses that will staff SIX FLAGS
Over Georgia during the 1968
operating season has begun at
the 276-acre family entertain-
ment center in Atlanta.

Although SIX FLAGS itself is
closed for some $2 1/2 million
in additions, the personnel of-
fice is busy selecting riverboat
captains, train conductors, bal-
loon girls, ride operators and
countless others for the$ 14 mil-
lion park.

Interviews began January 20th
and are expected to continue
right up to opening day, April 13,
according to Charles Jarrell,
Personnel Director.

"We're looking for both high
school seniors and college stu-
dents,'" Mr. Jarrell said The
emphasis is on personality, wil-
lingness and enthusiasm."

Applications will be taken
daily, Monday through Saturday,
9 to 5, at the SIX FLAGS per-
sonnel office located at the park
off Interstate 20 West.

SIX FLAGS Over Gergia opens
for the year on April 13, and
will be open on Friday nights
and week-ends until June 1st.
From June 1st through Labor
Day, the park is open week-ends
only, 10 am to 8 pm .

What can the host or hostess
expect to do at SIX FLAGS?

"There are a wide variety of
jobs available," Mr. Jarrell said.
"The potential host or hostess
might find himself piloting a
riverboat up the Ogeechee River
on Jean Ribaut's Adventure, us-
hering guests into the all-new
Kroft puppet show, keeping rela-
tions friendly between the guests

and the animals in Petsville, or
countless other jobs."

Mr. Jarrell went on to say
that the SIX FLAGS operating
policy enabled the park to give
the host or hostess a flexible
working schedule, depending on
availability. Hosts and hostess-
es regularly work an 8 hour
day, six days a week.

It was further pointed out by
the SIX FLAGS personnel di-
rector that students should not
assume that all jobs are filled
immediately. Although a majority
of the students remain for the
entire operating season, there
is some turnover, and jobs are
continuously opening up.

Angus G. Wynne, Jr., Presi-
dent of SIX FLAGS parent com-
pany, the Great Southwest Cor-
poration, firmly believes in the
value of the hosts and hostess-
es.

"No area of our undertaking
is as vital as our host and hos-
tess staff," Mr. Wynne said.
"We truly consider the hosts
and hostesses to be the back-
bone of our organization.'"

LEFT OUT IN THE COLD ON THE POLL,
Hardeman Honeys get in on the picture at their nightly occupation.

Missions Are Impossible
On TV and at Agnes Scott

Very few of our studious Scot-
ties watch television, but among
the privileged few who have
learned to budget their time so
that they make it a regular habit,
we find an interesting shift in
aesthetic taste over the past
several years. "Peyton Place,"
that popular show of the 1966
era is no longer even mentioned
among favorite T.V. programs.
And "Bonanza," that good ole
family favorite has also lost fav-
or.

The television stations never
made a smarter move than their
plan to introduce movies into the
schedule every night, at least,
they were smart as far as Agnes
Scott students are concerned.
"Mission Impossible" is anoth-
er noteworthy current favorite
what is it about that show that
is so appealing?

The results of the following in-
formal poll indicate the cur-
rently popular T.V. shows and the
dorms and cottages which watch
them. With the information from
this poll, Scott students will know
where to go to be "in-with-the-

Specifics in Speech

\ In my speech in Convocation I indicated four main directions of
:j concern for Student Government at Agnes Scott next year. As a
\ brief review, the four areas of emphasis were: (1) continuation
[ of work on academic problems, (2) major focus on the underlying
concepts and on the structure of the Honor System, (3) full use of
[ all existing channels to effect desired changes, (4) the vital part
: : of the individual student in directing the course of Student Govern-
; ment. The speech expressed my general concepts of Student Gov-
ernment and the role which I feel it should fill next year; this article

To me this observation could
easily be made of a great per
cent of present-day government
on all levels. But the point is that
such an observation by itself
cannot remedy the problem, and
for many people, for many stu-
dents here at Scott, the surface
observation is as far as we have
bothered to involve ourselves.
Asa result, Student Government
is continually criticized for being
inept in dealing with the multi-
tudinuous problems of a many-
faceted student body.

Judicial Chairman

Burr Places Emphasis On
Community Responsibility

The year ahead will be one of
reassessment and examination
as we try to realize Agnes Scott's
place amid changing ideas of ob-
ligation and responsibility. The
conflicts and pressures for
change we have known and fos-
tered recently have been good to
some extent, in that orderly
change and constructive criti-
cism make for a vital, dynamic
student government. And our stu-
dent government is perhaps uni-
que in the powers it has, our ad-
ministration, faculty, and board
of trustees unique in their wil-
lingness and desire to give us
those powers. But the focus of
evaluation ought to be on com-
munity and especially on our own
responsibilities as members of a
community such as this.

Certainly the individual is
most important in our way of life,
here just how important we have
not fully realized, because none
of us assumes as much respon-
sibility as she should to make
our Honor System what it could
be. Dual responsibility, an es-
sential concept to our Honor
System, has been weakened con-
siderably, whereas it should be a
normal aspect of life in a com-
munity. Judicial nor any other
student government organization,
as much as they are involved
with the workings of the Honor
System, cannot instill attitudes
of support and hones t evalua-
tion; that has to come from each
of us in recognition of our posi-
tion as students in this commu-
nity and in full appreciation of
our resulting responsibilities
now. For we make the Honor
System. It is only a system, a

by PENNY BURR

means of expressing a good way
of life, a guideline and symbol
for a mode of action, and it is
only as strong and real as we
exercise it every day. The ef-
forts and discussion of any board
are of no worth unless the stu-
dents support such efforts and
understand their own involve-
ment.

The challenge for each of us
is to understand the Honor Sy-
stem and, recognizing its full
worth strengths as much as
weaknesses, to realize more of
its potential as a system that
demands high standards of every-
one in all aspects of campus
life. We must criticize, but we
must understand basically and
appreciate what it is we are
criticizing. Criticism demands a
certain commitment. If expres-
sion of dissatisfaction is not con-
ducive to constructive change, it
is empty and damaging.

Our years at Scott are intro-
spective because all of our ener-
gies are directed to learning all
that we can. To stew in the pro-
blems we raise, however, defeats
what we have come here to do.
The purpose of the college means
a great deal to us all, and our
way of life, what we do with the
Honor System, strengthens or
weakens that purpose.

Stress on orientation proce-
dure and Honor Emphasis Week,
the work of the joint administra-
tive-student committee will add
to an atmosphere of honest re-
evaluation and help newcomers
to know the college that they are
coming to. The ultimate respon-
sibility, though, rests with each
individual--as a member of the
community, for Judicial can only

guide student effort. Inevitably,
rules will change, and there is
room for big changes that perhaps
must be made.

But the greatest challenge is to
understand and exercise the po-
tential of the fundamentals of the
Honor System, and to meet that
challenge would mean a reward-
ing year for all of us.

PENNY BURR (L.) AND LOU FRANK (R.),

Candidates For Chairman Of Judicial Council

Lou Frank Discusses Role
Of Judicial onThisCampus

There are many roles which a
Judicial Council must play all
relative to its effective function-
ing on the campus. But what is the
function, the role of Judicial
Council itself relative to the Ag-
nes Scott campus?

As I see it, Judicial Council
is to be first of all an integrat-
ing force: a source of unity for
the campus, but at the same
time a channel for the expres-
sion of differing views. Unlike
the very broad scope of Repre-
sentative Council's concern, Ju-
dicial Council's ranga is nar-
rowed, but it still provides the
opportunity for a wide spectrum
of opinion. Yet, this opinion must
be channelled and utilized for the
best interests of the entire cam-
pus community. Thus, Judicial
Council must also serve the func-
tion of a deliberative body to de-
cide what is, in reality, best for
the campus as a whole.

Judicial Council must be alia-
son. Through it are channels
of communication between the ad-

by LOU FRANK

ministration and the student body
and even between the individual
and the student body. In encom-
passing all opinions and interpre-
tations, including those of the
faculty and administration, Ju-
dicial Council must effectively
represent these to the student
body, with whom it most directly
deals. To honestly represent all
opinions, it must effectively
orient and re-orient the mem-
bers of the student body to the
Honor System so that their opin-
ions might be valid and in the
proper context. A t this point is
one of Judicial 's major failures.
Ineffective communication of the
concept of the Honor System in the
new-student orientation has led to
problems of misunderstanding
and poor interpretation of the
rules within the context of the
Honor System.

I am not prepared to propose
any concrete solution. But I do
feel that a closer link between
individual judicial members and
orientation groups might be ef-

fective. The judicial person as-
signed to teach the handbook class
for three orientation groups could
work more closely with the junior
sponsors, in a capacity similar
to that the senior advisor now ful-
fills. Another possibility might
be a strong emphasis upon honor
in the intellectual orientation
through Christian Association. If
the book chosen for orientation
could lend itself to a discussion
of honor in conjunction with the
intellectual orientation, it would
heop new students to see the high
place of honor and the Honor Sy-
stem at Agnes Scott. An efficient
judicial orientation would elimi-
nate later problems of interpre-
tation to a great extent.

The communication of the con-
cept of dual responsibility to both
new and old students is another
perennial weak point in the Ju-
dicial System. Again, adequate
integration of this idea into the
orientation program would solve
many problems; but because dual
responsibility is so new to many

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR

TO THE EDITOR:

Making a career of not study-
ing (see "earley risings", March
1, 1968), in an institution whose
primary reason for existence
is education (though at ASC this
raison d'etre is often well
obscured), is neither cute, in-
teresting nor admirable. Though
there are more than a few people
on ca*rnpus who are interested
in the personal life of the asso-
ciate editor (chipped teeth, re-
action to "heepies"), the news-
paper is not the place to enter-
tain them.

If the purpose of the "earley
risings" column is entertain-
ment, I suggest that the choice
of topics be broadened or that
the column be written in a style
that will make the most trivial
occurrences horn or ous. If neither
can be accomplished I suggest
that the purpose of the column
be changed, that some of the
excellent "old copy" be em-
ployed, or that's more articles
from other schools, who are ob-
viously concerned with the quali-
ty of their paper, be employed.

Though these measures will
not make ours an outstanding
paper, they will certainly im-
prove its present quality.

ment has been ineffective at cer-
tain times in the past because
it hesitated or did not bother
or perhaps even feared to take
full advantage of existing chan-
nels. The corollary to the noth-
ing-ever-changes proposition is
the belief that even if by some mi-
racle changes should be possible,
the individual student is power-
less to bring about anything.

In this respect it is interest-
ing to note that one of the insti-
gations for the Apartment Pol-
icy Procedural change can be
traced back to one girl outside
of Student Government who on her
own circulated a petition for
change.

Hammarskjold wrote: "You
have not done enough, you have
never done enough, so long as it
is still possible that you have
something of value to con-
tribute." Student Government can
be truly effective next year^nly
if each of us is interested enough
to contribute our "something of
value" and to work thoughtfully
together to bring about needed
changes.

ernment as a means of bettering
campus life in areas of social
and academic endeavor and
bringing to compromise the dif-

However, from such a defini-
tion can easily arise the limita-
tion which has caused our Stu-
dent Government to appear less
than effectively dynamic. Our in-

inward. We as students have de-

structure duties of such limited
scope that we have allowed the
least significant legalities to clog

I am seeking the office of Vice
President of the Student Gov-

Having worked indirectly with
Student Government through my
class and as a member of Re-

the responsibilities of the office
and feel it is in this position
that I can best serve you. I
consider myself obligated to use
the experience I have received

that hard work and a willing-
ness to serve can maketheposi-
tion a vital one. I have a deep
concern for the discontent and un-
rest on Representative Council,
but also the conviction that only
through Student Government and
its legislative power can we
work toward the policy changes,
initiation of new programs and
continued re-evaluation of our
council which I consider neces-
sary. Because Student Govern-
ment is so important to our self
government, I want to spend my
time working within it.

Fall Retreat determines the
amount of pre-school planning
accomplished and the enthusi-
asm with which the members of
Student Government tackle a new
year. Through retreat, the Vice
President of Student Govern-
ment makes one major contri-
bution to the community. I con-
sider it her responsibility, along
with the President of Student Gov-
ernment, to make the retreat
which is run smoothly and ef-
ficiently can enable each board to
function to its fullest potential
during a concentrated period of
time. An inter esting program and
stimulating atmosphere are
necessary to get Student Gov-
ernment off to the right start.

Representative Council must
work through committees in
order to maintain an efficient
program. However, I see the
necessity of a re-evaluation of
these committees. Each student
should be informed regularly
of the work of the committees

fective college experience.
Though Agnes Scott is a college
of small size there is no need for
it to be a college of small vis-
ion, of inward scope only. There
is much to be done to keep us all
in perspective, to make us com-
mit ourselves and thus our gov-
ernment to goals of wider scope

than our own specific campus
rules and limiting personal disa-
greements.

Why Student Government? To
meet the campus needs naturally
is a facet of any college govern-
ing system but to involve the
students in areas of interest and

concern which reach beyond the
four short years of the college
experience this, to me, is the
ultimate goal of Student Govern-
ment, a goal which has somehow
been lost recently in the confu-
sion of petty dissension.

and of their privilege to bring
to these committees their per-
sonal suggestions, recommenda-
tions, and criticisms. We can
not have pride or confidence in
a self-government if we are ob-
vious to its work. The Vice
President, as coordinator of the
committees of Rep. Council, has
the responsibility to keep each
student informed and enthusias-
tic about this phase of Student
Governm ent.

I would welcome this respon-
sibility. I offer myself as a fel-
low student concerned about our
self-government. I can bring to
the office of Vice President of

Election
Order

Elections will be conducted this
year in a definite order, set up
to allow the quickest balloting
possible.

The heads of the five big boards
are the first senior offices to be
voted on. The president of Stu-
dent Government leads off, fol
lowed by the chairman of Ju
dicial, and then by the presi-
dents of Christian Association
Athletic Association, and Social
Council.

The Junior office elections fol-
low. The Secretary andtheTrea-
surer of Student Government are
elected first. The Secretary of
Judicial is next. Then the Secre-
tary and the Treasurer of C.A
are voted on, to be followed by
the Secretaries and Treasurers
of A.A. and Social Council. The
Secretary-treasurer of Arts
Council is elected tenth. And the
Junior Judicials and Rep. Coun-
cil members are last.

Next to be voted on are the
offices of the chairman of the
three councils: House Presi-
dent's, Arts, and Orientation.
The Senior Judicials are chosen
next. The Day Student is then
elected by the day students. And
astly, the House Presidents are
voted on.

To finish the slate off com-
pletely, a Junior or a Senior is
elected to fill the positions of
Day Students Judicial and N.S.A.
Co-ordinator.

Kathy Johnson

The office of Vice President
of Student Government, though
not always well known, can play
an important role in the work
and future development of our
student government system. The
Vice President is in charge of
Representative Council's com-
mittee work.

Next year I hope that these
committees can be expanded and
subdivided so that more work
can be included and more pro-
gress made. Next year's plans
include a complete revamping of
Representative Council and in-
clusion of a student discount
system for Atlanta colleges stu-
dents that will be the largest in
the United States.

Many students are proclaim-
ing to be discontent and through
Representative Council I hope
that the problem can be solved
by more actions rather than
words. At present there is a
great lack of student interest and
spirit which is a hindrance to
any work that Representative
Council can do.

Without student initiative and
support, I do not see how stu-
dents can expect changes and new-
developments to be made and it
will be Representative Council's
job to see that interest is at
least sparked.

The fate of student govern-
ment depends on what happens
next year. The power and autho-
rity that Rep. Council will have
in upholding its decisions will be
decided. Our current student gov-
ernment system is at a medium
and will have to go either up or
down.

Representative Council needs
to be more representative of the
student body and willing to listen
objectively to all views before
making any decisions. It will be
up to each member of Repre-
sentative Council and up to each
student to see that our student
government can and will stand
up on its own.

people, it must be repeated and
emphasized throughout one's
years at Agnes Scott. Many people
fail to see dual responsibility
as anything more than a "tattle-
tale" system. This is the portion
of the Honor System in which
one's concept must be develop-
ed. Most people have a relative-
ly firm grasp of the idea of honor
before arriving at Agnes Scott;
they must only apply their uni-
versal concept to the Honor Sy-

There are other functions of
Judicial Council and other areas
within the system in which simi-
lar problems exist, but I feel that
almost all, if not all of them can
be ultimately traced to ineffec-
tive orientation and reorienta-
tion of the student body to the
Honor System as a unified sy-
stem, and not as divided between
social and academic or between
offences with automatic penal-
ties and those without. We must
see that the Honor System is not

they are incorporated into the
social and academic structures
of Agnes Scott as necessary parts

THE PROFILE

Potter And Williams Run For CA Post

Libby Potter

I want to offer a stance toward, and a way to get at, the
problems of Christian Association. C. A. cabinet knows and is
the first to admit its difficulties which lie in two areas: struc-
ture and the ideas behind the structure. (1) C. A. at the present
time has no way of knowing who its members are. Duplicate
membership cards seems to be one solution. (2) Around 1969,
C. A. is going to be in financial trouble. Expenses are rising,
but pledges aren't. I think C. A. will have to get some support
from student government funds. Much else needs work: R. E.
Week, Interfaith Council, and Service Projects in particular.
C. A. must carry out its promised adult education program
and perhaps concentrate its efforts on fewer projects.

I want to go now to what's really on my mind, the ideas behind
the structure. My interest and hope lies in the people who can
be drawn together as the C. A. board. Heaven knows, structure
always has room for change, but the problems on this campus,
as elsewhere, are not chiefly structural; they are internal. I
look around at this campus and see fragmentation, withdrawal,
alienatio n, and loss of meaning. One obvious example: How
many people are interested in chapel, C. A. chapel especially?
Precious few. (1) because of pressure: got to do my work or
take a break from work (2) because nothing is being said that
I can hear or that I particularly want to hear.

The following is the purpose of C.A.: Christian Association,
"...believing that the Christian faith is vital to a full and mean-
ingful life, strives through its program of worship, study, and
action to know God in Jesus Christ and to deepen the commit-
ment, of its members." I am in accord with this purpose, frank-
ly because I'm interested in God. If He is, and is an efficient
cause in the world today, I want to know about it, and I can think
of one good reason. Did you notice? The bottom dropped out
of this place for a lot of people last quarter, and I don't think it
was ordinary winter quarter syndrome. The pressure and
problems have been building up for some time. People are ask-
ing: just what is the point? why write this paper? why school at
all? why Scott? what is Scott? and what am I? And if Christianity
and C. A, don't have anything to say to these questions, they just
don't have much to say.

My theme is this (and I almost hate to use the word for fear
that it's meaningless): reconciliation. I see this three ways:
reconciliation of man to himself (or women to herself), of man
to man, and man to God. By reconciliation, I mean acceptance
and love of me and me and you and some how of God. I want C. A.
out of the C. A. room and Gaines chapel and into the L.D.H., into
Judicial, Rep. Council, and others areas of this campus, trying
to reconcile, to get through the alienation between selves, between
students. We are in the business of learning here. Perhaps we
can learn something about love, healthy concern, and openness to
each other. The platform I offer is in the nature of a search
rather than the golden answer, but a search, I think, to see what
God and Christianity have to say about being men, about being
women. And C. A.'s primary business, it seems to me, is to lead
such a search; to carry it out and share it, in and through its
program and structure.

Social Council Post

by MARGARET GILLESPIE

Social Council's obligation to this campus is to meet the social
needs of the students. It seems obvious that Social Council is becom-
ing increasingly active on this campus. Social Council has begun
new and varied activities this year and as the board extends its in-
fluence into the lives of the students one purpose must always be

considered. The board must put
the students desire and support.

As a member of Social Coun-
cil I sense an ever increasing
need for the ideas and opinions
of each individual girl as well as
her criticisms to be brought to the
board. We cannot expect to sup-
port a board which is oblivious to
your wants and needs.

Social Council members have
the obligation of communicating
to the classes just what the board
is doing. Therefore, I advocate
increasing the size of the board.
I recommend having three repre-
sentatives from each class. This
would let the board members
give increasing attention to the
activities of Social Council and to
your needs.

There are several specific
functions which the '68- '69 board
can serve. There is a need for a
standing Dress Policy Commit-
tee. Through this committee
would be channeled any recom-
mendations for changes or im-

its energies into activities which
provements in the Dress Policy.
Such a committee would enable
each student to make her re-
quests known.

Also, Social Council must de-
termine if the Wednesday Night
Casual is the most effectively
way in which to provide a casual
atmosphere for socializing on our
campus. However, throught the
casuals we have recognized one
of the basic social needs on our
campus.

The Winter Dance Weekend is
Social Council's greatest contri-
bution to the campus. The activi-
ties of the weekend should be ex-
panded as fully as possible. We
need to arrange a means by which
students can buy tickets separ-

Marsha Williams

One of my favorite quotations is one of Piet Hein's "Crooks," -
"Man's a kind of missing link, fondly thinking he can think." I see
three things that we at Scott "fondly think." I am running for Presi-
dent of Christian Association because I am convinced that C. A. can
and should something about these potentially destructive miscon-
ceptions.

First, we worship re-evaluation, hoping tofindinit salvation from
the routine of organization. We create committees to re-word pur-
poses, we study the validity of programs - all this leaving little
time in which to act on our new foundations. I contend that there needs
to be a dialogue of action. By experimenting, working, changing, we
can discover ways to vitalize our commitments. Yes, we'll talk, we'll
set "goals," but we'll not win when we word the perfect purpose, or
completely reorganize. We will win every time we act and get
response, every moment we believe and then actualize that truth.
I want Christian Association to do things, to be heard on campus, and
not just ponder its own maladies.

Secondly, we scare easily - and "spiritual" sounds awfully like
tent revivals and pulpit pounders. But there are "spiritual" needs
here, and C. A. should speak to them. Our "spirits" need to make the
impersonal world into the interpersonal through a practicing faith
in Love. There is the need to believe in Life, and an honest enthu-
siasm for living it responsibly. Toynbee says "Apathy can only be
cured by enthusiasm." Now Pollyanna is Dead, but maybe we can live
better without her. We'll find a "real" joy in being alive, in dis-
covering the "sticky green leaves" to challenge every individual
to consider her "spiritual" needs.

Thirdly, we "fondly think" or fondly wonder if being a Christian
attending a Christian college is something you would admit even it
it did happen to youl Next year, C. A. must show that we're not a
CC (Christian College ) just to be a CC (Cheerful Cherub) to the
academic world. We are a Christian College because our founders
saw it as the best way to live and be educated. But is it? NOW?
Christian Association needs to lead the way while every student
decides what it means to be a Christian, now and why we must defend
our right to remain a Christian college, and what is our productive
identity.

Thus Christian Association needs to Live, not just Exist. As C. A.
President, I would energize our solution-seeking, find ways to spark
C. A.'s activity on campus, making programs and projects stimulat-
ing experiences for all on campus.

Christian Association serves the student body, but next year my
C. A. board will not quietly play the suffering servant role. We'll
speak out, we'll act, we will get a response - or else I will recommend
that we disband.

Flexible AA
Is Seen By
E. Angeletti

by EVELYN ANGELETTI

To serve the recreational and
athletic needs of the student body
may seem to be an ambitious
undertaking, but this in essence
is the purpose and function of Ath-
letic Association. A.A. attempts
to meet these needs through flexi-
ble action.

For several years, A.A. has
been emphasizing awareness of
what students would like to see
A.A. provide. This has prompted
constant evaluation and changes
in programs for major intramur-
al sports. For example, hockey
basketball and volleyball mana-
gers have tried to make practice
schedules more flexible and have
still stressed the importance of
regular practice to strengthen
skills and to increase enjoyment
of games. Besides maintaining
such adaptability next year, A.A.
could add, for instance, clinics
in hockey and tennis given by
professional players in an effort
to help students of all levels of
ability.

One area which I feel deserves
more attention is recreation. Stu-
dents often like to play badmin-
ton, pool or golf, go swimming, or
ride bicycles at their own con-
venience and not necessarily dur-
ng times arranged by A.A. for
group activities. While programs
should be continued if they serve
the needs for which they were in-
tended, A.A. can serve many
more students by keeping equip-
ment and facilities in good con-
dition and making these avail-
able at as many times as possi-
ble. The setup for exercises
this past winter quarter was a
step in this direction. A.A. could
also provide information con-
cerning recreational and athletic
opportunities in the Atlanta area
--hay rides and horseback riding
at Stone Mountain Park, tennis
tournaments at the Bitsy Grant
Center.

Because students also feel a
need to perform activities with
a purpose which reaches beyond
the immediate college communi-
ty, A.A. has sponsored the blood
drive. Recreational programs for
area youngsters might be added.
In these, students could work with
children, perhaps from the Me-
thodist Home ordepressed areas,
in playground activities. A.A.

Expansion

by CAROL BLESSING

The purpose of Athletic Asso-
ciation, as stated in its Consti-
tution, is "to promote interest
in athletic and recreational ac-
tivities among the students."
Having served on the board for
two years, I realize that athle-
tic activities as such involve only
a minority of the student body.
However, I feel that the broader
concerns of the board, such as
Hub parties, the Blood Drive and
the self-defense courses, inter-
est and involve a larger number
of students.

Those sports activities which
are supported by a sizable num-
ber of students are the ones
which should be encouraged and
expanded. I would like to see the
board sponsor more inter-
collegiate competitions, such as
the hockey playday, because these
activities increase participation

would provide sports equipment.
Such programs could be coor-
dinated with the service projects
of Christian Association.

Service to the larger commun-
ity and numerous forms of re-
creation offer students, who may
not be athletically inclined relax-
ation from the academic routine.

As long as students both on the
board and in the student body are
aware of A.A.'s function expres-
sed in the ideas and action of ser-
vice, then all of us can work to-
gether in making the best use of
the student government organ
which is Athletic Association.

and interest. These competitions,
and all sports events here, pro-
vide an opportunity for the indi-
vidual player to improve her
skills. I would like to increase
these opportunities through
coaching clinics.

A.A. is also responsible for the
spirit on campus; a careful bal-
ance between class divisions and
over-all unity is necessary. More
events that cross-out the classes
(interdorm competition, parties)
need to be planned. The much
talked-about apathy on the cam-
pus can partially be offset by Hub
parties with definite themes
scheduled at times when the cam-
pus is not snowed under with
work. Some reorganization of the
positions on A.A. is necessary,
if the needs of the campus are to
be met - perhaps another person
to work with the spirit chairman,
since this is such a large re-
sponsibility.

I have two years experience
on the board and am willing to
work creatively and enthusiasti-
cally for a successful Athletic
Association. The success of the
board is dependent on thorough
planning and ample communica-
tion. The board must be flexible
and enthusiastic to be able to
create new activities that will
interest and involve this student
body.

Mothes-Social Council

by MINNIE BOB MOTHES

This past yea: has been marked by a
growth and an expansion of Social Council.
Stimulated by effective leadership and the
joint effort of its members the board has in-
troduced new activities and has expanded the
realm of previously established ones. This
broadening of its program is to be com-
mended: it mirrors a recognition of duties
and a desire and willingness to accept new
responsibilities. This growth is the result
of a mature and responsible consideration.
The expansion and growth of Social Council
must remain steady and these new functions
must have a chance to become firmly es-
tablished.

In order to achieve these ends in a re-
sponsible and successful manner the board
needs to be enlarged. Presently, there are
fourteen active members of Social Council
four officers and ten representatives. By
enlarging the representative membership of
the Senior, Junior, and Sophomore classes
to three, thereby increasing the total mem-
bership to seventeen, the board will be better
equipped to handle its present program and
expand its activities. An increase in board
membership and a more extensive and com-
plete organization of committees will contri-
bute to a higher degree of operation, achieve-

ment, and success which I would like to see
Social Council attain. Most of the functions
of the board are now carried out on a volun-
teer basis. With a more complete organiza-
tion of committees the board can work more
smoothly efficiently, and successfully.

If Social Council is to fulfill its duties
of co-ordinating social events and providing
for the social needs of the campus, it is
necessary to integrate its activities to a
greater extent with those of the other four
boards. Unlike the other boards, Social
Council is not a representative board; its
members, other than the elected executive
board, are appointed. In its special capacity
it is important that Social Council respond
to and reflect the needs and tastes of the cam-
pus community. To attain a more represen-
tative aspect it would be helpful to encourage
more inter-board co-operation and more
student participation in the formulation and
implementation of the board's operations.

With an increased membership, a more
complete organization of activities, and a
more active co-operation with other boards
and with the entire campus community So-
cial Council can acquire the characteristics
of a truly representative board and in this
respect will be better able to serve the com-
munity in its specific capacities.

of the whole. All of these con-
cepts must be communicated
from the beginning for Judicial
Council to be able to function
properly.

Though this is very general
and somewhat vague, it expres-
ses some of my feelings regard-
ing the function of the Judicial
Council. I have no concrete an-
swers, and yet I feel that re-
cognizing the problems and their
possible solutions is the first
and major step toward their re-
conciliation.

Matthews
HouseCouncil

by POLLY MATTHEWS

Life at Agnes Scott is char-
acterized as going on in the
classroom, on the hockey field,
in the Hub, and just as impor-
tant and representative as any of
these is dorm life, an aspect
which oftai fails to receive recog-
nition as a significant part of
campus life. It takes a House
Council operating effectively and
responsibly to promote dormi-
tory participation in the overall
scene of campus activity, and
more of this participation is
needed.

By assuming more responsi-
bility, House Council could take
advantage of more opportunities
to expand and function better
and in a more meaningful way.
One area of possibility lies in
relieving Judicial of burdens of
several minor penalties, such as
neglect of phone co-op and hos-
tess duty. These are arranged by
the various house councils and
could as easily be controlled by
them. Investigation and develop-
ment of such a new system should
be considered, leaving Judicial
with more time for work with
major policies.

Also deserving more attention
are living conditions. For exam-
ple, the creation of much-needed
social smokers, wherever possi-
ble, should be approached by
House Council. It is also House
Council's duty to bring about
better living conditions in gen-
eral.

Above all , House Council
should stress the personal re-
sponsibility of each dorm resi-
dent, in matters of co-operation,
honesty, and decision-msking.
More participation in dorm ac-
tivity by the residents as a whole
will reinforce House Council in
carrying out its routine duties
and in undertaking and develop-
ing new ones.

House Presidents Council
should be capable of encourag-
ing and directing such participa-
tion, and I feel that it is the re-
sponsibility of the Chairman of
House Presidents Council to see
that efforts toward this partici-
pation are undertaken.

Committee Presents
Walker Memorial

In a presentation to the college community on March 27, Sally
Bainbridge unveiled "Figures in the Wind," the iron sculpture which
has been purchased by the Susan R. Walker Memorial Committee in
memory of Mrs. Susan Walker, a member of the Agnes Scott faculty
who did last spring.

After almost a year of work
the committee has chosen and
purchased for permanent display
in Dana a piece of sculpture by
the artist, Leonard DeLonga who
was a professor of Mrs. Walk-
er's while she did undergraduate
work at the University of Geor-
gia. He had some influence on
her pottery work as she went on
to obtain a BA as well as an MA
in education from Georgia.

Now teaching at Mt. Holyokein
Holyoke, Mass., De Longa is a
recognized artist and has exhibit-
ed in New York. He is present-
ly associated with the Kraushar
Galleries in New York. Because
Mrs. Walker knew as a whole
liked this sculpture, it was the
one chosen from several possi-
bilities.

Those individuals on the com-
mittee, of which Sally Bainbridge
was chairman, included the mem-
bers of the art department; Mrs.
Pepe, Mr. Westervelt, and Mr.
Warren as well as representative
members of the student body who
had known Mrs. Walker; Cindy
Perryman, Mary Lamar, and
Betty Whitaker.

Money for the purchase of the
sculpture was collected by mem-
bers of the student Arts Coun-

cil and Arts Council was also
responsible for the donation of
the base upon which the sculp-
ture rests.

After the purchase of the sculp-
ture, it was decided that the re-
mainder of the money collected
would be used to begin the Susan
Robinson Walker Crafts Collec-
tion. A piece of Mrs. Walker's
pottery with a three-dimensional
surface pattern is the first piece
in this' collection which will be
added to as appropriate arts
works are found.

The slate of candidates includ-
ed on the ballot are Fred Hal-

Richard Nixon, Charles Percy,
Ronald Reagan, Nelson Rocke-

George Wallace. It has been de-
cided to leave the name of
Martin Luther King Jr. on the
ballot.

In addition to the candidates,
the ballot will contain three re-
ferendum questions: two dealing
with the country's current in-
volvement in Vietnam, and one
with the priorities of govern-
ment spending in confronting the
urban crisis.

Any student presently enrolled
in an American college or uni-
versity is eligible to vote. This
includes graduate, part-time and
foreign students, as well as those
studying abroad in American
branch universities.

On the day of the primary,
polling places at Agnes Scott
will be open from 9 a.m. to 5
p.m., according to campus chair-
man, Mary Hart. There will be
four polling places on campus
and students will be assigned a

of the three military academies,
place to vote alphabetically.

Prior to April 24, campus
campaigns will be led by Sharon
Lagerquist for Eugene McCar-
thy, Gue Pardue for Robert Ken-
nedy, and, as of press time, an
undisclosed person for Richard
Nixon. A panel discussion on the
three referendum issues will also
be held.

In a press release sent out
by Choice 68, the implication of
a successulf primary turnout,
for which at least two million
voters are needed, is indicated:
"Perhaps the most important
conclusion to be drawn from
this first 1968 primary is not re-
lated either to the candidates or
the issues. It is very possibly
something much broader. Name-
ly that effective, articulate ex-
pression of political opinion by
students, combined with their ac-
tive participation in the politi-
cal process, can significantly
affect the outcome of elections
and the shape of American poli-
tics.

"A second conclusion is equal-
ly irrefutable. Massive student
participation in Choice 68 can
and will affect the course of
American politics in 1968."

OBSERVATIONS

Convocation-
Pro and Con

It seems that everytime Wednesday rolls
around we hear many complaints around the
Agnes Scott campus about compulsory con-
vocation attendance. Many of these comments
are not anti- convocation attendance,. Many of
these comments are not anti-convation as
such, but they are instead directed at the
manner in which the meeting is conducted at
the present time.

Students feel that convocation in its present
form is frankly a waste of their time. The
announcements which are made are always
posted on the bulletin board immediately fol-
lowing the chapel period, and quite a number
of students are not interested in the type
programs presented this year.

We at the PROFILE feel that a compulsory
chapel is needed, not only for announcements
of activities and awards, but to conserve some
sense of unity on the campus. When the student
body is all together, we realize that we are
after all a community.

But a community which complains about
getting together is desirable. We suggest that
there are more advantageous ways to spend
the Wednesday chapel period than are cur-
rently being utilized.

For instance there is a wealth of excellent
speakers in all fieldsfrom the arts of
politics to sports to hippies to religion--
right here in the Atlanta area. And Agnes
Scott surely has the resources to reach out
even past our immediate area to the state
and the nation for top notch speakers.

Another suggestion for possible utilization
of convocation time is that of student govern-
ment meetings. At convocation a quorum could
be reached (even by force) and participating
students just might discover, perhaps for the
first time, what student government is all
about.

There has been talk about doing something
about convocation for years now. This time
we hope some action will be taken before too
many students get placed on Administrative
Probation for cutting too much. Just sitting
around discussing the symptoms is not enough.
We must be reasonalbe and active in order to
diagnose the ills and bring convocation into
a central position in Agnes Scott life.

Lame Ducks

The lame ducks have landed at Agnes Scott and will remain on the campus in
that capacity until the evening of April 18. At that time, new student
government officers elected last week will be installed.

In the meantime the PROFILE would like to single out of the "lame ducks"
for special recognition. Zolly Zollicoffer, president of Student Government,
and Peggy Moore, Mortar Board president, are to be congratulated for handling
election week in an efficient manner.

The extremely difficult task of running elections went with amazing
smoothness, thanks to these girls and to a hard working Mortar Board chapter.
You've earned the rest (?) youll receive after April 18.

The eulogies have been said, the tears have
been dried, and the body has been buried.
Many people have written and said many things
about the death of Martin Luther King Jr.,
and there is not much left to say.

Yet, one still feels the necessity to say
something, to put down on record somewhere
that she is concerned. Perhaps an apology to
the Negro community would be appropriate,
but I am still not sure but that the loss of King
hurts the white population just as much as it
does the black population of America. The
murder of this Nobel Peace Prize winner was
a catastrophe for the entire world.

In his book "The South and the Southerner,"
Atlanta Constitution publisher Ralph McGill
quotes King on the subject on non-violence. I
think that King's statement here sums up all
that need be said about this great man. 7 "The
way of nonviolece means a willingness to suf-
fer and sacrifice. ..It may even mean physical
death. But if physical death is the price that a
man must pay to free his children and his
white brethren from a permanent death of the
spirit, then nothing could be more redemptive."

May he rest in peace, and may his redemp-
tive spirit bring an atmosphere of peace to
those he left behind.

***

Watching the King funeral on television, I
could not help being proud of the city of At-
lanta and extremely disappointed in the state
of Georgia. This, however, for me is a typical
reaction.

A1KMAN

Mayor Ivan Allen's conduct and control of
the situation in the difficult days prior to the
funeral was admirable. He was a friend of
King's and his grief was apparent, as was his
concern for the family of the slain civil rights
leader and the safety of his city of Atlanta.

Governor Lester Maddox, as a stark con-
trast, behaved in his usual uncaring manner.
Government officials from all over the country,
many of the busiest men in the country, found
time to come to Atlanta to pay their last re-
spects to an Atlantan who brought great fame
and respect to his city and his country. Mayor
John Lindsay of New York City was able to
travel to the South, leaving his 8,000,000 con-
stituents for a few hours.

Our infamous governor, however, was not
able to find the time to go a few blocks down
the street to join with other officials in paying
respect to a citizen o f his own town. He felt
that he should stay at the capitol in case he
"was needed." Maybe if someone had offered
him a free bicycle ride, he could have made
it down there.

But then, I think if he had been there some
of the meaningfulness of the service would
have been lost. He was probably better off up
at the capitol fussing at Secretary of State Ben
Fortson because he had the audacity to have
the flag lowered to half staff for Martin Luther
King Junior. a Negro.

Somehow it all seems more appropriate
this way.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the editor:

As participants in the peace
vigil we feel compelled to reply
to the letter to the editor in the
Profile of March 1. Though we
find some of the information
inaccurate, the letter was ob-
viously thought out and we ap-
preciate the strong reaction and
the willingness to express it.
Before going further, however,
it seems in order to say some-
thing about anonymity. Pre-
sumably the reason for with-
holding one's name from a pub-
lished letter is the protection of
the person. However, the privi-
lege of remaining anonymous
usually carries with it the obli-
gation to refrain from being per-
sonally insulting. It is unfor-
tunate that the privilege could not
have been honored by leaving out
the insults which were finally
unnecessary to the valid points
that were made. Some of the crit-
icism is justified, and we shall
try to clear up those points to
which we feel a reply is neces-
sary,

First, the "peace movement"
on campus does not consist of
"twelve people who stand in a
line in front of the dining hall
staring stoically, etc." There is
no officially organized Peace
Movement in the United States
but rather thousands of divergent
groups and individuals who for
various reasons have become ac-
tively involved in trying to bring
a rapid end to the war. It is call-
ed a movement because it is ob-
vious that the mobilization of
people all across the country for
peace is a reality. No one to our
knowledge has claimed to be a
"peace group" at Agnes Scott,
but there definitely is a peace
movement here, which is much
larger than the stoic twelve.

"Vlgiling" is only one very
old means of demonstrating a
concern, and from the beginning
we have considered it important
to distinguish between the vigil
and other peace activities. We
wanted the vigil to be the sort of
public display of concern about
the war which could be joined by
anyone rather than merely repre-
sentative of a particular ideolo-
gical orientation. It is, as word-
ed in our orginal statement, an

expression of "protest and sor-
row over the death and destruc-
tion which have come to thou-
sands of Americans and Viet-
namese." Its purpose is to call
attention to a situation which we
find intolerable in the belief that
if enough people are aware of the
real situation their sentiments
will provoke a change. Not every-
one can be expected to find it
meaningful, as part of our action
to bring about an end to the
war, to pause once a week tore-
mind ourselves and others that at
that very moment people are dy-
ing in what we believe to be an
unjust war for which we, as a
nation, are responsible.

It should be realized that the
people who have brought speak-
ers and movies; who participat-
ed in the study group, the de-
monstration at the capitol, the
picketing at the induction center,
and the Speak-in at Spelman,
who sponsored the Negotiations
Now petition; who went to hear
McCarthy; who have written to
their congressmen; and even who
stood in the initial vigil are not
necessarily represented by the
now limited vigil, but rather
bespeak a much broader basis
of concern for peace. There
surely have been abundant oppor-
tunities for an interested in-

Hum, hum, hum. Hippity hop, hippity hop. I'd better get a wiggle
on or I'll be late for my last training assignment before graduation
and I'll never get my cotton tail and pink bow tie. I, Eggbert B. Lapin,
am ready for the final test before becoming a full-fledged jelly bean
distributor. This year I am only an Easter Aid, but next year I'll be a
whole bunny.

Yes, there's the college in sight now; the Chief said to look for a
tower with pigeons. And I'm right on time: 3 p.m. on the Friday before
the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Now
all I have to do is spend my weekend getting the girls on their planes
and trains to go home or off to egg hunts and church if they're staying
here.

That should be simple enough and then after this Easter of intern-
ship I'll be Eggbert B. Lapin, A.B. Advanced Bunny. But wait, it
looks like there's something the matter here. Where's the line of
taxis the Chief said would be outside that tower building and where
are the stacks of suitcases on the sidewalks in front of the dorms?
There don't seem to be any florists delivering corsages, either.

Where are all the girls? Could it be that they don't know it's Easter?
Wait, here come two girls; I'll just hide in these bushes and listen
to what they say.

"I've really got to run to my 3 o'clock class and then I've got to
go to the library and study. I'm so far behind that I'll have to stydy
all weekend to catch up and I have a test on Monday."

"Yeah, me, too, but my test isn't until Tuesday. But I absolutely
refuse to study on Sunday I've got to have sometime to wash my
clothes or I won't have anything to wear next week."

"You know, it's hard to believe that Sunday is Easter."

"That's right, it is. My family will be all dressed up and they'll
go to church; my little sisters will have chocolate eggs hidden in their
new purses."

"My sister will be sleepy from going to the sunrise service but
she'll wake herself up for the eleven o'clock service. It's her first
communion."

"Wish I could go home, but I guess we can't have everything we
want. There are other things more important than Easter, and I think
it's a part of maturity to recognize them."

"You're right, but it really seems a shame sometimes. Oh. well.

fc NewsweekV Crawford Previews 1968

On April 2, lastTuesday, Agnes
Scott was fortunate to have as'
visiting lecturer Kenneth G.
Crawford, of Newsweek' s Wash-
ington Bureau Chief. Crawford's
topic was "A Preview of the
Presidential Campaign" a
very difficult assignment in light
of President Johnson's startling
announcement on March 31 of his
decision not to seek or to accept
the Democratic presidential
nomination for 1968.

Crawford, who is considered
to have the best inside sources
of information in Washington,
was surprised and still in a state
of confusion when he arrived in
Atlanta on- Tuesday. He stated
that before Sunday night three-
fourths of his speech had consist-
ed of comments about the great
political impact that the war in
Viet Nam was having on domestic
politics this year. Now, he said,
I have only one-fourth of my
speech left because Johnson's
move has taken Viet Nam from
the political arena!

However, in his remarks Tues-
day night Crawford displayed in-
teresting insight into the politi-
cal situation and was not shy of
voicing his own opinions on the
remaining candidates and their
chances of obtaining the party
nomination. He characterized
1968 as a turning point in politi-
cal history because it will be the
end of the New Deal era begun
in 1932.

Crawford's analysis of the rea-
sons behind President Johnson's
withdrawal were also very per-
ceptive* Johnson, he said, had
seen assessing the possible sup-
port he might have at the conven-
tion and discovered that he didn't
have many committed delegates.
In addition, McCarthy's strong
showing in the New Hampshire
primary dramatically pointed up
Johnson's weakness in popular-
ity* Johnson's move was alsocal-
culated to help regain some of the
power that he had lost in Con-
gress; however, Crawford re-
marked that a "lame-duck"
President cannot hold his Con-
gressional power for very long.
In a presidential election year
Congressmen want to line up be-
hind their party's candidate who,
if elected, will be in a position

Blackfriars
To Present
Frost Film

Blackfriars and the Speech and
Drama Department will present
"An Hour With Robert Frost" on
Wednesday, April 17 at 7:30 p.m.
in Room 207 Campbell.

The program includes the
showing of one of the Frostfilms
from the Agnes Scott collection
and the reading of Frost poetry
by Blackfriars members and
speech students.

Describing the film, Roberta
Winter, chairman of the Speech
and Drama Department, said that
Mr. Frost discusses poetry and
its enjoyment beginning with
Mother Goose; he also reads and
talks about several of his own
poems.

After the film, Judy Langford
will read "Mending Wall" and
Alice Griffin will do "The Witch
of Coos." Other students will
read several short, familiar ly-
rics like "Fire and Ice" and
"Stopping by the Woods on a
Snowy Evening."

Assisting Miss Winter and
Blackfriars with the program
are Randy Jones, Janet Levy and
Jane Stambaugh.

to help them for the next four
years. Such a development, cou-
pled with other factors, neces-
sarily lessens a "lame-duck"
President's Congressional pow-
er.

Crawford expressed his opin-
ion that Senator Robert Kennedy
would win the Democratic nomi-
nation and that Richard Nixon
presently had the Republican
nomination "sewed up." It was
also apparent from several of
Crawford's remarks that he did
not like Robert Kennedy or Rich-
ard Nixon. Of Kennedy he said,
"He is more his father's son than
his brother's brother;" and of
Nixon Crawford said, "What's
wrong with Dick Nixon is his face
is too narrow at the top and the
opposite at the bottom."

Perhaps the most appealing
part of Crawford's speech was
made in response to a question

by SHARON LAGERQUIST

from one of the listeners. A
young man asked, "What in-
fluence will Wallace have in the
campaign?" Crawford immedi-
ately and truthfully replied, "Oh,
I forgot about him I" The audience
applauded loudly expressing their
delight with such an honest and
humorous reply.

However, Mr. Crawford pro-
ceeded to warn of the consw-
quences of a Wallace campaign
that might carry 14% of the vote
in a close election of the 1960
type. Currently Wallace is carry-
ing about 14% of the population
in popularity polls. Mr. Crawford
noted that if in November Wallace
were to carry a similar percent-
age of the vote and that if the con-
test between the Democratic
candidate and the Republican can-
didate were very close, Wallace's

Ah, here it is, in this yellow book: "A commitment to the liberal

development of Christian character are foundation principles of the

Christian character, huh - surely that means that when I look at the
College calendar I'll find time allotted for all the holidays like
Christmas and, my favorite, Easter. What's this? Thanksgiving,
Christmas. ..but no Easter??? I'll never get my tail at this rate!

Hey, wait a minute. Here's where all the girls are here in the
library. Why it's packed and they're all studying. No one even noticed
me come in. They're ignoring me! I'm a failure it's pretty hard to

wouldn't think that would be the case over here. Even if God is half-

My on-the job training is a flop; I guess I'll have to give up getting
my A.B. now. I'll never get a tail unless they'll let me work at that
club down at the Dinkier where they let even girls have tails. Or
maybe I can trade my long ears in on some pointed ones. Then I

employer and there's still a demand for his product. People still

dividual to discover the reason-
ing behind the peace movement,
for numerous speakers and mov-
ies have been brought to the
campus, discussions held, and
publications displayed, and we
know of >no one involved who is
not anxious to answer questions.

As for the seminar, it is true
that some people were negligent
and disorganized, and there was
failure to obtain speakers by
people on both sides. After two
failures those involved were un-
derstandably discouraged an ex-
asperated. Of course, these
people should not have given up.
But this does not say anything
about the cause which these in-
dividuals represent, only about
their ability to work harmonious-
ly together.

Finally, the question of effec-
tive activity is very pointed. We
do not need to be reminded that
we are not doing enough. Every
newscast makes this quite ob-
vious. As suggested by the anony-
mous letter, any real change is
going to require a commitment
of a caliber which seems to be
lacking at Agnes Scott. The vaci-
lation and hesitancy which is so
prevalent here is regrettable,
and we too call for a new vital-
ity and a stronger Peace Move-
ment, which is less afraid of
criticism.

To the Editor:

Today (March 30) a friend and
I were selling newspapers at
Agnes Scott. In a mood of
reminiscence, we made our way
through several dorms before
we were told that we were break-
ing The Rules by soliciting with-
out permission. Well and good.
If we had known about The Rule,
we would have cleared things
first. This letter is not to say
anything against that rule. If I
broke it, I was wrong.

There are, however, certain
points about the incident with
which I would like to take issue
because they point out certain
things which I consider dangerous
in the world at large and at Agnes
Scott in particular.

Let me point out now, in case
you haven. t read the signature
at the end of the letter, that I
am a graduate of Agnes Scott,
and so I presume to speak with
at least a limited degree of au-
thority.

When we were asked not to sell
anymore, the newspapers were
packed in the car, and I return
ed to Walters dorm to see friends.
On coming out of the door, I was
again approached (Had I been fol-
lowed?) and asked if I were still
selling. I replied no, that I had
been visiting friends, whereupon
I was informed that "We hope
that it won't be necessary to
call the campus security guard."
I hardly think that that would
have been necessary since I didn't
really consider myself a securi-
ty risk to Agnes Scott.

Was such impoliteness really
necessary? In all fairness, I will
admit that when someone is ac-
cused of continuing to do some-
thing he has been told not to do,
his anger is likely to be arous-

ed. However, I do not believe
this to be the rase. As proof,
for whatever it i!" worth, my ad-
versary's attitude changed some-
what upon learning my identify as
a Scott graduate. No longer was I
a random person off the street,
an automatic suspect for theiv-
ery, debauchery, or other crimes
of the outside world, but a mem-
ber of the campus community at
large.

Another point which I would
like to bring up requires anoth-
er digression into the incident.
I also wanted to post some cir-
culas which should be of con-
cern to members of an intellec-
tual community regardless of
their views on the subjects (rac-
ism, the draft and the Vietna-
mese war). I was told that this
was also forbidden unless one
went through the proper chan-
nels. I believe that the quote was
that the Administration had to
have previous knowledge or con-
trol to prevent anything "dis-
tasteful" from being posted.

Students, be aware of the fact
that the Administration deter-
mines what you yourselves should
decide in the way of taste. There
are many distasteful things you
should see, not the least of which
is someone else's control over
your freedom of choice. Other-
wise, how are you ever going to
be able to choose for yoursel-
ves what to do to correct what
you finally decide is distaste-
ful?

Slums are distasteful, but in
fou r years at ASC I never wit-
nessed one as an insider. Preju-
dice is distasteful. In four years
at ASC I never met one victim
of prejudice. Apathy is distaste-
ful. Never, until after I left ASC
did I realize how distasteful, and
I was surrounded by it those
same four years.

Sterility and isolation never
got anybody anywhere. For that
matter, neither did living in an
ivory tower.

But back to another point, the
proper channels. I was told that
I had to see a certain person to
approve the selling of news-
papers and the posting of signs.
The three members of the dean's
staff who were there couldn't do
it, notwithstanding the fact that
Saturday is my only day off and
the office of approval is closed
that day. It wasn't their depart-
ment.

Do we really have to be so
rigidly departmentalized? Has
spontaneity, and with it individ-
ual freedom, genius, and re-
sponsibility, been cast aside in
favor of the bureaucratic pro-
cess? From what I know of his-
tory, countries at their highest
point of bureaucracy have also
been at their lowest point of
individuality. Except for rebels,
of course, who refused to com-
promise with such petty terms.
Hopefully, Agnes Scott will learn
from history rather than become
another example of the ruin of
bureaucracy.

The trouble is that those who
rebel against the system are those
least likely to be heard/ rather,
the least likely to be listened

to. Those who step out of bounds,
knowingly or unknowingly, as in
my case, are looked on with dis-
dain, perhaps even more so when
those in authority remember past
offenses of the out-of-bounds-
stepper. And I did some "horri-
ble" things at Agnes Scott/ my
"attitude" was questioned more
than once.

Once I spoke back to an Eng-
lish professor my freshman year,
a man whom I admired and still
do. Once I read a newspaper in
Convocation because curiosity
about the integration of Clemson
University got the better of a
boring lecture. I learned a les-
son from that incident, and it is
probably contrary to the one hop-
ed fo r by the Administration.
If a lecture is boring, whose fault
is it anyway? Certainly not the
student's. This is not to advo-
cate general rudeness, but to sug-
gest the need for higher quality
lectures.

Once I had a car for several
weeks my sophomore year. My
reasons, the death of my grand-
father and the need for trans-
portation during a period when I
was changing church denomina-
tion, warranted in my own mind
having the car. I simply didn't
want to go through an absurd
argument about whether the car
would be dangerous to my grades.
Neither did I want to discuss
two very sensitive subjects with
the school authorities.

The whole business seems so
shallow. Is anything to be gained
from bureaucratic nit-picking?
IS anything to be gained from ad-
herence to pettiness rather than
to real concern for things that
matter?

I would like to be able to say
that I really don't care and let it
go at that, but this letter, if it
is printed, will show that I do
care.

I hope toGod that someone will
read this letter and, understand-
ing it, will try to cure the symp-
toms before a good school dies a
slow, innocuous death.

How sad I And the saddest thing
of all is that most people, espec-
ially those on the inside, will
never know that she has died.

Mad Bomber' Comes
As Voice at ASC

by GAIL L1NEBACK

It all started winter quarterwith the revolt of the pigeons, and now
Agnes Scott, a "conservative southern women's college," has an
underground newspaper, THE MAD BOMBER.

According to editors JoCalla-
way and Elizabeth Mathes the
idea of publishing an under-
ground newspaper advocating
free expression for all was in-
stigated this winter by what they
call the revolt of the piegeons
of Buttrick Hall. The pigeons,
it seems, had found their means
of free expression (perhaps in
"bombing madly" over the hal-
lowed halls?), and one revolt
leading to another the first issue
of THE MAD BOMBER appeared
April Fools' Day, 1968.

But a fool's joke THE MAD
BOMBER was and is not intend-
ed to be. It is a four-page pub-
lication to be a sounding-board
for community opinion. Its pur-
pose according to the stattement
published by the editors is "to
present to the Agnes Scott com-
munity a well-written reflection
of student opinion and thereby
to fill an all too apparent
gap."

Student conviction voiced in
the first issue of THE MAD
BOMBER ranged widely from
concern about citizens' attitudes
toward Viet Nam to consterna-
tion about the Agnes Scott pigeon
problem to commendation of
Judicial chairman Gue Pardue
and Dean Kline "for their forth-
right and clear-cut presentation
of the crux of the student body's
problem in confronting the
Honor System."

The editors state that they
willingly accept contributions to
THE MAD BOMBER, and hope
to issue a paper every two or
three weeks. Signed articles from
students, faculty members, ad-

Controversial Film
Is Shown Thursday

On Thursday, April 25, "The Birth of a Nation" will be shown in
Maclean Auditorium. This is a black and while silent movie which
runs almost four hours.

It was produced by C. W. Grif-
fith in 1915, and was one of the
first films to cover such a tur-
bulent period as the Civil War.
Based on Thomas Dixon's anti-
negro novel, "The Clansman",
it presents slavery, the Civil
War, and reconstruction from
the Southern point of view.

From the time of its premiere
it has drawn wide criticism from
national leaders in many fields
for its apparent racial bias, and
was originally released only after
certain of the most inflamatory
scenes were cut. The near-rape
of a white girl by a Negro is
played up, as is the spectre of
intermarriage and the chivalrous
Ku Klux Klan springing up in de-
fense of Southern womanhood.

The NAACP tried unsuccess-
fully to stop public showing of it
with a court suit; rioting was
reported at quite a few theaters
over the country: and the Gov-

ernor of Ohio refused to let it
be shown in his state.

But the movie was not con-
demned by all who saw it. W. D.
McGuire, Sec. of the Board of
Motion Pictures, defended it,
saying, "Public authorities have
no more right to interfere with
the production of a play or motion
picture which emphasizes the
southern point of view. ..then, that
of a play which lays emphasis
upon the northern point of view."

Miss Campbell, who was in-
strumental in bringing the film
here, said" 1 myself haven't
seen it, but have heard so much
about it that 1 thought this would
be a way to do it. It should
appeal to everyone, not just the
history majors. "Miss Campbell
also has the original piano score
to the movie and is looking for
four pianists to play it when the
film is shown to add to the silent
movie flavor of it.

also been a member of Black-
friars, her class hockey team,
and Advisory Council. She is a
philosophy major from Green-
ville, South Carolina.

Nancy Jane Sowell will be the
Orientation chairman for the
1968-1969 school year. She was
president of her class her fresh-
man year as well as being a
member of dance group. As a
member of Representative Coun-

Secretary

cil her sophomore year, she
served on the Apartment Policy
committee. She was Black Cat
chairman for her class that year.
As a junior, Nancy has been vice
president of the class, on Orien-
tation Council, Curriculum Com-
mittee, Infirmary committee, and
symposium committee. She is

a biology major from Montgo-
mery, Alabama.

From Lynchburg, Virginia,
biology major Sally Douglas
Wood is a member of Judicial
Council. A cheerleader for her
freshman class, she was their
spirit chairman as a sophomore.
She has been on Education Com-
mittee, Advisory Council, the
AURORA staff, and the junior
hockey team.

Following the ceremonies
Tuesday evening, the old and new
chapters marched through the
campus in a candlelight proces-
sion and went to the home of
Michael J. Brown, associate pro-
fessor of history and current
sponsor of the chapter. There the

Treasurer

POTTER

officers of the chapter were
elected.

Mortar Board is a national
senior honorary society compos-
ed of over 100 chapters. The Ag-
nes Scott chapter was organized
in 1936.

The purposes of Mortar Board
are "to promote college loyalty,
to advance the spirit of service
and fellowship among university
women, to promote and maintain
a high standard of scholarship,
to recognize and encourage lead-
ership, and to stimulate and de-
velop a finer type of college wom-
an."

The members are chosen by the
retiring chapter upon recommen-
dations from the junior class.
The choice is based upon schol-
arship, leadership, and service.

Sharma, Indian Lecturer,
Discusses Nation's Culture

Last week, April 6-11, Dr.
Krishna Sharma, Senior Lec-
turer in History at Miranda
House, a women's college in
Delhi, India, visited Agnes Scott.
She was at the college in the
capacity of a curriculum con-
sultant on Asian Studies, and
while here she was the guest of
Miss Nancy Groseclose, Asso-
ciate Professor of Biology.

Dr. Sharma is a visitor to the
U.S. this year under the U.S.-
India Women's CollegeExchange
Program. In 1944 she received
her B.A. in History, Philosophy,
and Literature from Indrapras-
tha College for Women in Delhi;
an M.A. in History in 1946 from
Stephens College, Delhi; and M.A.
in History in 1960 from Rad-
cliffe College; and her Ph.D.
from the London School of Orien-
tal and African Studies. She join-
ed the faculty at Miranda House
in 1954.

Besides her work in the cur-
riculum studies while at Agnes
Scott, Dr. Sharma lectured to the
History 352 class, under Pene-
lope Campbell, and to the Inter-
departmental Study Course on
Developing Nations. The lectures
centered around various cultural

Film On Yeats

and political aspects of present-
day India.

Dr. Sharma gave a brief his-
tory of the Caste System, ex-
plaining that the basic principle
was both a religious and social
one: people were divided accord-
ing to their function in society.
The Hindus have always lived
under the Caste System and still
do so today to a large extent.
Intercaste marriages are taboo
for most Hindus. Only ten years
ago an amendment was passed
whereby intercaste marriages
were legally recognized, and this
way of thinking has not yet fully
permeated the society.

Wealth and materialistic val-
ues, however, are becoming more
and more important in determin-
ing one's caste. Today wealth
plays more of a part in determin-
ing the respect a man can com-
mand than does his ethical way of
life. Furthermore, the Untouch-

ables are disappearing because
members of this caste are be-
coming better educated.

According to Dr. S harma, In-
dia does not fear becomingCom-
munist; rather it fears China
as a powerful nation. The eco-
nomic problems rather than the
ideological differences are para-
mount. Capitalism has not an-
swered India's needs and even
today it has marked socialistic
tendencies since socialism has
proved more successful.

Dr. Sharmadiscussed the draw-
backs of a democracy. She said
that if a democracy is govern-
ment of the people, by the people,
and for the people, then the people
should have a voice in whether
or not they want a democracy.
If this voice is not recognized,
the above definition of a demo-
cracy is invalid. She feels that
democracy does not answer all of
the needs of some nations in the
modern world, and that India is
one of these.

Chapels Emphasize
Big League Sports

There is something at Agnes Scott to interest every type of
girl, and the athletically-minded is no exception. For this reason
the chapel committee has designated the week of April 29-May 2
as Sports Emphasis Week.

Rankin Smith, owner of the
Atlanta Falcons, and Georgia
Tech's freshman football coach,
Bill Fulcher will speak about
football. Smith will be the speak-
er at Tuesday's chapel and Ful-
cher will be in chapel on Wed-
nesday.

Soccer is the topic David L.
Haase of the Atlanta Chiefs will
discuss onThursday. Ernie John-

son, assistant director of Broad-
cast Operations for the Atlanta
Braves and a former Braves pit-
cher, will speak about baseball
from the announcer's point of
view Friday.

The programs will include pre-
views of the coming seasons and
information atjout the teams, with
special emphasis on how girls
can become better spectators.

To What Extent?

Last year at this time when we began our
job of putting out a weekly newspaper, we
remembered President John Adams' words of
warning, "Sink or swim." We have endeavor-
ed since then not to just tread water, but
to "swim" forward into a new, more pro-
fessional journalistic style.

As the 1967-1968 student government went
into effect, we asked ourselves "To what
intent?" we had emerged,, Perhaps now we
should pause t o ask, "To what extent?"
this emergence has taken place c

It is our conviction that there have been
significant changes on this campus in the
past year which have helped the school to
move forward, perhaps not rapidly , but steadi-
ly at least. The new judicial point system and
the apartment policy revision have helped
pave this road forward.

Yet we cannot and must not rest on our
laurels,, There are many areas left to cover,
from specifics such as the "Sign-Out Pol-
icy" to a more generalized re-evaluation
of the honor system and the entire student
government association

In Dag Hammar skjold* s "Markings" there
is this thought: "Do not look back c And do
not dream about the future, either e I will
neither give you back the past, nor satisfy
your other daydreams,, Your duty, your re-
wardyour destiny--are here and now,"

This, then, is the message we would leave

OBSERVATIONS

In case you don't know it, there is a large
universityabout 60 miles from Decatur in the
"classic city" of Athens. Now those of you
who keep up with the news will be aware of the
existence of this charming school, but for
the majority of Scott students 1*11 give you a
little information about it.

The University of Georgia is supposedly
the oldest state-chartered university in the
United States, and according to the girls who
attend school there, the rules probably have
been the same since the institution was found-
ed. Like Scotties, these girls cannot drink on
campus regardless of their age but the
boys (regardless of their age) can drink on
the campus.

Unlike Scotties, these co-eds at this large
school must be in their dorms by 11 o'clock
on week nights (let us be thankful for our last
45 minutes of freedom). These young ladies
at the university, having decided that they are
fed up with their rules, are not just sitting
around in their equivalent of Rep Council
quibbling about the situation.

Instead they have been sitting in in the
university's administration building. Some of
their male friends who also suffer from the
rules imposed on the girls have been join-
ing them. A judge who is not so sympathetic
to the cause has issued a restraining order
against them. At press time the outcome of
their efforts was still unknown, but the fact
that they made some efforts is impressive.

Now I'm not advocating a mass sit-in in
Buttrick, but it might be sort of fun at that.
Can you imagine 600 Agnes Scott students

plopping themselves down outside Dr. Alston's
office? It would be almost as bad as when all
700 students leave their open umbrellas in
Buttrick lobby.

If we were going to protest, Easter week-
end might have provided a good reason
the fact that classes had to be held as usual.
I noticed on the faculty bulletin board in the
mailroom that this "policy" regarding Easter
weekend was one which was adopted by the
faculty. I really wonder what good having
classes was when there were 350 students
signed out of the Dean's Office to spend the
weekend off campus. Those of us who re-
mained would not have made a very impres-
sive showing at a sit-in.

THE EDITOR

by sandra earley

we were all installed yesterday and the new regime is c

Gulp.
Well,

its first day of the long pull that will end a year from now. 1 can'
speak for anyone but myself, but I have a distinctly squeas
scared feeling in the tummy region as result of all this. I'm ju
plain terrified; in fact, I've actually run away for the weekend.
The butterflies beating themselves to death against the walls
of my stomach are creating the same kind of feeling I had one day
in Mexico City the summer before I was a freshman here (that
last thing could have had a lot to do with my uneasyness). We'd
been in Mexico for about two weeks already before we got to Mexico
City. I was with a small church group touring Presbyterian mission
stations in two station wagons.

I must admit that I was the typical obnoxious tourist in many ways.
I tried to be very polite at all times, but my little plaid suitcase
filled with water purification tablets, spray Lysol, and toilet paper
must have insulted many people when I carried it inside at every
gas station and hotel.

During the two weeks we had been in Mexico, I had been congratu-
lating myself on my sanitary provisions. I was the only one in the
group (with the exception of a bachelor who had a cast-iron stomach
from eating his own cooking) who hadn't come down with Montezuma's
Revenge. Now that we were in the great metropolis of Mexico City,
I was really going to live it up.

After a morning of sightseeing, three of us, the bachelor, our
minister's wife and I, had gone downtown shopping while the rest of
the group napped in the hotel rooms. We went to a large tourist
trap in the center of the city and began looking at the usual wood
carving and tin work for sale. The bachelor and I were standing
at a case full of silver jewelry when it struck me. Montezuma had
me. Why, I was so ill that the case of jewelry was even sliding
back and forth as my stomach did several flop-overs.

I was feeling just about bad enough to have the courage to tell
the bachelor that I was going to be sick, when he interrupted my
thoughts and said that he was going to have to return to the hotel
because he felt deathly ill. We were sort of holding each other up
when we suddenly noticed that other people in the store wre running
outside. Then we noticed the merchandise vibrating itself off the wall.
Cosmopolitan world travelers that we were, we finally figured out
that we were in the middle of an earthquake.

Before heading outside ourselves, we looked around for our
minister's wife. W ; e couldn't find her anywhere as we searched
the store, frantically calling her name. Then as fast as it started,
the earthquake stopped without our having found our lost lady.

She was one of the first people back in the store after the quake
was over and she told us what had happened to her. She had realized
what was happening faster than the bachelor and I had run out of the
store with the other people. The store faced on one of the main six
lane streets of the city and when the quake began all traffic stopped
and people got out of their cars to stand beside them and watch
the havoc.

Our little minister's wife had run out of the store and across three
lanes of cars to cling to a tree in the grassy median of the street.
Right behind her had come a Mexican man who had clung to the
tree with her, put his hand over her hand, and looked deep into her
eyes with a look that crossed language barriers and said "Do
not fear; we will die together." When the quake was over, she had
calmly thanked the man in English for his comfort and come sedately
back into the store.

Well, now. After about seven paragraphs of ramble in my story,
we come back to the thing that led me to digress the scared,
nervous feeling somewhere around my tummy. In Mexico that
sensation meant earthquake. I wonder if there will be any earthquake

It seems to me that since Ag-
nes Scott possesses one of the
best astronomical observatories
in the Southeast, some provision
would have been made to have
it open last Friday to view the
eclipse last Friday night.

Is it not the task of the univer-
sity to satisfy the students' appe-
tite for knowledge, to make avail-
able its facilities for the satis-
faction of the students' inquisi-
tive mind?

I for one was thoroughly dis-
gusted that the observatory was
not open. I only hope the adminis-
tration and faculty will reconsi-
der its role of educator of all
who seek knowledge in the future
and make its superb facilities
available.

To the Editor:

One of my major dissapoint-
ments in Agnes Scott is a lack
of an experimental attitude, so
is a shame that when something
new is done the student initiative
is not recognized. I have been
asked to clarify that the present
course on Developing Nations
was student initiated.

The March 1st issue of the
Profile had two articles on the
faculty's role in organizing the
new interdepartmental course;
however, they completely omit-
ted the students' role in initiat-
ing it. Two students who were
interested in a course on Africa
found that several faculty mem-
bers were interested in doing in-
terdepartmental study. So they
called a meeting of those stu-
dents and teachers interested,
plus Dean Kline. The subject
expanded to all developing nations
and became an educational ex-
periment in interdepartmental
study.

The members of this "Spon-
taneous Committee" were Helen
Roach, Judy King, Judy Williams,

We are all well acquainted with
Senator McCarthy's views on Viet
Nam, but perhaps we do not all
know about his opinions and ac-
tivities on other fronts. Having
served in the U. S. Congress since
1949 as Representative and then
Senator from Minnesota, McCar-
thy has a wealth of experience in
fields other than that of foreign
policy. He has been a consistent
supporter of legislation to insure
civil rights, including open hous-
ing, to increase federal aid to
education and urban development,
to raise minimum wages, and to
stimulate government action in
the economic realm.

McCarthy has served on the
Committee on Public Works, the
Committee on Agriculture, the
Special Committee on Unemploy-
ment Problems and is presently
serving on the Committees on
Finance, Foreign Relations,
Standards and Conduct, and the
Democratic Steering Committee.

There is much more to be said
about Eugene McCarthy, but I
shall reserve that for the Hub
discussion to be held Tuesday,
April 23. Now, 1 shall let him
speak to you using exerpts from
an article he wrote recently about
us, the students, whom he calls
the "concerned generation."

"This is a generation of pro-
test, of anger, too. Yet most of
the anger is not irrational; it is,
rather, based on honest inquiry
and honest concern.. ..Their ob-
ject is to perfect a government
that is responsive to the needs
of the governed; to improve the
processes by which opinions are
formed and the will of the people
translated into political reality.

"This concern, this searching
for answers contribute, 1 believe,
to the health and richness of Ame-
rica. ...Those who march and
demonstrate are not so much pro-
testing against as they are for
for an America that is humane
and wholesome; for an America
in which morality replaces ex-
pediency, in which the full de-
velopment of the individual is
truly achievable....

"Today's youth strongly affirm
that our America need not be an
America on the edge of despair;
that it can, again, be an America
of confidence. They believe that
this can again be an America in
which trust is the habit of the in-
dividual and the spirit of the na-
tion. They believe that America
will again be characterized.. .by
openness and by hope.. .that it will
serve not only as an example, but
as a genuine help to the world."

by SHARON LAGIRQUIST

With the recent changes in the political atmosphere of the United
States, the major candidates have altered the strategy and tone of
their campaigning. It is important now for us to emphasize and
become informed on issues besides' "anti-Johnsonism" or "anti-
Viet-Namism." Accordingly, in this article I shall attempt to acquaint
you with Senator Eugene McCarthy's viewpoints on pertinent domes-
tic issues as well as his general beliefs about American society
and politics.

Cornelius, Miss Campbell, Mr.

The development and planning
of the course continued to be a
joint effort of both faculty and
students.

There are several things to be
learned from this. The adoption
of the course proves that student
initiative can motivate signifi-
cant reform. Student Government
is not the only channel for re-
form. Spontaneous response to
specific needs can produce ac-
tion where Organizations get
bogged down.

Hopefully the academic realm
.at Agnes Scott will be open to
creative additions if faculty and
students will work together to
put their concerns into action.
The system presently is too
traditional and too rigid. I would
like to see more of an experi-
mental, innovative attitude.
P.S. Just a few more things
need innovation.

'Vote for RFK'

by GUE PARDUtf

Senator Robert Kennedy is the bestqualified and most dynamic can-
didate in the 1968 Presidential election.

He graduated from the Univer-
sity of Virginia Law School. Dur-
ing the 1950's he worked as a
Counsel for the Labor Commit-
tees, and in 1958 he quit to be-
come his brother's campaign
manager. He was probably the
most instrumental man in helping
JFK become the first Catholic
President. He served as Attor-
ney General of the U.S. from
1961-1964 and he is now the
junior senator from New York.

Robert Kennedy is a man of
conviction. While he was Attor-
ney General, he did more to
improve the Negro situation than
any Attorney General had done
before. He is still pushing for
reform in this area. He says, "If
any man claims the Negro should
be content or satisfied, let him
say he would willingly change the
color of his skin and go to live
in the Negro section of a large
city."

But Senator Kennedy realizes
the danger and consequences of
public rioting. From an address
at Berkeley he states, "No man
has the right to wantonly menace
the safety and well being of his
neighbors, and it is the duty of
all public officials to keep the
public peace and bring to justice
those who violate it."

Senator Kennedy alsohas some
ideas on improving the War on
Poverty. He thinks that our
costly and degrading welfare
system must be replaced. He
supported the Emergency Em-
ployment and Training Act which
would create 2,400,000 new jobs
for the hard-core unemployed. He
also introduced a bill in Congress
to create a menchanism by which
private enterprise will be en-
couraged through tax incentives
to invest in business projects
in slum areas. He is NOT trying;
to create new federal agencies,
but he IS trying to help the poor.

Senator Kennedy has opposed
military escalation of the war
in Viet Nam for the past three
years. He says, "The course of
enlarging the war is contrary to
the interest of the U.S. and to
humanity's hope for peace." His
views on this are well-known,
but the sincerity of his convic-
tion is unfairly criticized.

Not only do I think Senator
Kennedy's programs and views
are superb, but I feel he has the
leadership to move our country
forward. He is the type of leader
who can excite us and move us
toward the accomplishment of
our American Ideals VOTE

of Agnes Scott College." It is
obvious to us that the present
dissatisfaction of the student body
as a whole with the Student
Government Association and with
the "ideals and standards" which
it embodies undermines the above
stated purpose. No longer is
Student Government an effective
outlet for student opinion. This
ineffectiveness is the result of an
increasing realization on the part
of the student that the Student
Government can not do anything
about her dissatisfaction with the
present situation.

It is no longer any secret
that the honor system is being
abused. This can be seen at
any fraternity house and in al-
most any apartment. The policy
breakers are no longer in a
minority. They constitute the
greater part of the student body.
It is those who feel obliged to
obey the rules that are, for the
first time, in our opinion, in a
minority.

We can not believe that the
members of Representative
Council and Judicial Council are
so out of touch with the campus
community that they could fail to
notice this change in attitude.
The concern of these major office
holders was aptly illustrated in
the recent chapel led by Gue
Pardue and Dean Kline concern-
ing the state of the honor system.
Therefore, we wonder why no-
thing has been done to remedy
the present situation.

The inactivity of the Student
Government stems from the fact
that "the Association is ultimate-
ly responsible to the faculty and
administration under the authori-
zation of the Board of Trustees."
In short, the Student Government
Association can, by itself, do
absolutely nothing to revise the
policies. There have been many
attempts, on their part, but all
have been vetoed by the adminis-
tration, t ,

Therefore, we come to the con-
clusion that the problem of the
'ineffectiveness of Student Gov-
ernment lies not simply in the
fact that the Association is out
of touch with student opinion but
also thattheadministration is not
communication with the student
body as an equal and responsi-
ble force. The problem can not
be solved until theadministration
realizes that it is the sole cause
of the problem as it stands today.

Until the administration is
willing to accept the changes in
the standards of our culture as
a whole, the honor system will
fail to relate effectively to the
student who must operate in the
"outside world" and whose val-
ues and actions are derived from
their culture. The honor system
will continue to be violated and
ridiculed until that time.

We do not want to give the im-
pression that we are concerned

only with ourselves as members
of the present campus communi-
ty. We realize that the future
of a system based upon out-of-
date standards can only be dis-
asterous to Agnes Scott. If the
purpose of this college is to
produce a well-rounded person,
then it is necessary that it offer
the prospective student some-
thing more than simply academic
excellence. We can not and will
not recommend a school which
stifles individual and responsible
freedom of choice in anything
other than course selection and
club-joining. We can not recom-
mend to anyone else a school
which has become stagnant and
bogged down in a mire of Vic-
torian prudism.

It is our hope that the adminis-
tration will not continue to follow
its course of supressing student
opinion any longer. We feel that
is is urgent that the adminis-
tration notice the dissatisfac-
tion of the student body and make
some attempt to reconcile its
own values with those of the
students as a whole. Unless this
happens, the honor system and
all it stands for as an integral
and effective part of Agnes Scott
College will be destroyed. Need-
less to say, we do not want to
see this happen.

Many Seniors this quarter are
practice teaching in various ele-
mentary schools and high
schools. For the past week they
have attended Seminars at
Emory. Most of the girls have
found these Seminars very
worthwhile. They received many
helpful and useful solutions to
class problems. One supervisor
advised, "if you have to blow up
at someone, blow up a big boy.
If you insult a little girl you will
have a great enemy shooting
piercing looks at you throughout
the class.

The Seminars also included
lectures and films. Some class-
es had to make up something to
teach and then record their per-
formance on video-tape. Louise
Bruechert, who attended the Eng-
lish Seminar, received a very
useful warning Her teacher com-
mented that she had her back too
much to the class. He warned
her than if she had been in a real
class she would have turned
around and found a pile of spit
balls on the floor.

Concerning actual experiences
in the class room, mostfeltthey
were doing better than they had
anticipated. They felt that it was
the idea of facing a class that had
really scared them. Many of them
found their new occupation quite
profitable. Linda Poore, who
teaches 5th and 6th grades at
Thomas Elementary received two
bouquets of flowers and a poem
which reads:

I like my teachers very much

portrait and two love notes from
her 5th grade class at Toney
Elementary. Nancy Thompson,
who teaches in a more rural
school received a great honor.

his goats after her.

Discipline has not been a real
problem as yet. Many feel this is
partly because the regular teach-
er remains in the room most of
the time. Marilyn Johnson who
teaches 6th grade at College
Heights has not found discipline
too bad, but has had a real chal-
lenge in finding material in-
teresting to the class at their
level. Marilyn found that the
children really "craved atten-
tion." Concerning their attitude
towards her she said, "I'm work-
ing as a curiosity piece. They
seem to be wondering what this
strange creature's going to do
next." In thinking of the next
day's lesson, she's wondering
too.

Susan Phillips, teaching 4th
grade at Westchester Elemen-
tary found that the children were
very warm and eager to have her
in the class. Susan, said, "this
attitude of the children helped
me a great deal in overcoming
my apprehension." Susan also
found her class very amusing.
Their eagerness to answer ques-
tions was overwhelming. "They
leaned half-way out of their
seats just brimming with "oos
and ahs." Susan also received
helpful hints from her students.
One girl told her, "if you want
to be really popular don't give
any tests." Another said that she
should teach them some new
games, but not to worry if she
didn't know any. (The student
confided that there was a real
good book in the library she
could get.)

Kathy Stafford commented
that her 5th graders were never
still. She said that by the middle
of the day the waste basket was
always filled with their doodlings.
She is looking forward to teach-
ing all day and feels that she will
be able to become more ac-
quainted with the students. She is
constantly being invited to eat
lunch at the "boys" or "girls
table," and feels that this will
be a good opportunity to get to
know each child.

Mary T. Bush teaches 5th,
6th, and 7th grades at Dunaire
Elementary. She said that she
was quite surprised at the warm
reaction and welcome she re-
ceived. When she first entered
the class room students came up
to her enthusiastically and greet-
ed her with. "You must be Miss
Bush." She said she really
hadn't anticipated such a friend-
ly reception. Discipline so far
has not been a real problem
for her, but she is a little wor-
ried about her 7th grade class of
55 students.

Most of the practice teachers
have found their work very re-
warding as well as challenging.
A basic problem seems to be
holding the childrens' attention
and keeping them interested. Re-
viewing forgotten material of the
5th grade seems to be another
problem that many students have
come up against. They have had
to review their backgrounds in
science and social studies in par-
ticular. They all agreem how-
ever, that the work is well worth
it.

Five Day Week Alters Course Selection

Students Select
Courses During
Coming Week

During the period April 30 -
May 8, juniors, sophomores, and
freshmen will select their courses
for the next college session.
Sophomores will choose their
majors during this period,
according to Laura Steele,
Director of Admissions.

In class meetings to be held
Monday, April 29, students will
receive detailed instructions for
course week selection procedure.
Julia T. Gary, associate dean of
the faculty, will meet with
freshmen in Maclean; C. Benton
Kline, dean of the faculty, will
meet with the sophomores in
Gaines; and Eloise Herbert,
chairman of the course
committee, will meet with juniors
in the biology lecture room. All
students except those not
planning to return are expected
to be present.

Miss Steele urges students to
study the 1 968 catalogue and the
mimeographed supplement to the
catalogue, which will be available
prior to course selection week.
There will also be a set of
instructions posted on the official
section of the bulletin board in
Buttrick lobby and next to room
105 Buttrick. Faculty advisers,
the dean and associate dean of
the faculty, department chairmen
and other faculty members will
be available for consultation.
Students are asked to observe the
hours announced for these
conferences which will be posted
on the bulletin board next to
room 105.

For students interested in
teacher education, special
conference hours with Dean
Kline, Mr. Adams, and Miss Box
have been arranged: sophomores
will meet at 4:45 Tuesday
afternoon, April 30, in room 3
Buttrick; freshmen will meet at

course cards, major cards, and
schedule forms are to be obtained
from the student table in the
registrar's office after 2 p.m.
Monday, April 29. The bulletin
board notices and instructions
will have been posted by that
time and students should read
them before obtaining the above
mentioned supplies. Course cards
and major cards must be turned

Executive Committee
Okays Proposal Tues.

At its meeting on Tuesday, the Executive Committee of the Agnes
Scott College Board of Trustees approved the faculty
recommendation for an experimental five day academic week.

Meroney's Talk Topic

A smiling Dean of the
Faculty, C, Benton Kline,
reported after the meeting, "Well,
they approved it and we will
register on the basis of it." He
went on to say that the five day
academic week will be on an
experimental basis for the
1968-69 year and that a sizeable
supplement to the catalogue will
be available to students on
Monday.

The Board's Executive
Committee met to consider the
matter after the faculty and the
Academic Council voted a week
ago to recommend to the Board
to adopt the five day week. The
faculty came to this decision
after its committee studying the
proposal had presented a master

Student Government Installations were held April 18 at 9 p.m.
Associate professor of history, Geraldine M. Meroney, delivered the
address.

Miss Meroney spoke on a
simple idea, saying, "Young
people, everywhere, honestly
anticipate that college will
provide an entirely new
intellectual climate-one filled
with intellectual stimulation and
freedom from the rote dogma or
vague opinions of high school
instruction. "

She pointed out, however, that
students are quickly disappointed
in their anticipation when
confronted with an array of
required courses and continuing
emphasis on grades, resulting in
loss of interest and confidence."

According to Miss Meroney,
Agnes Scott students respond to
this dilemma in one of three
ways-there are some who keep
their intellectual fervor in spite of
everything; others accept their
plight, enjoy other aspects of life,

and "ultimately revive some of
their intellectual interests when
they enter their major field";
unfortunately, others "turn away
from everything that Agnes Scott
is and try to satisfy their

The response to intellectual
frustration is intellectual apathy,
and as Miss Meroney asked, "Why
in this college, of all places,
should there be a climate of
intellectual apathy?" She offered
her idea saying, "At this college I
think we consider high academic
standards, which we do indeed
have, as ends in themselves rather
than as means toward real
intellectual freedom."

In conclusion Miss Meroney
said, "I feel strongly, and I hope I
have convinced you, that an arid
intellectual life has serious

repercussions in the social life of OW n interpretations.

costumes are quite unique. One
group is wearing bathing caps
with the bottoms of badmitton
birdies stuck on them. For the
"space" dance, holes were cut in
the leotards. (I forgot to ask
where the holes were cut.)
Another group is portraying
"creatures," and their costumes
are also interesting.

Caroline Byrum has designed
and made many of these
costumes. She has also written
the music and words to a song
which Fanny Carmichael will sing
to accompany one of the groups.

All of the girls are looking
forward to doing their

successful they are in relating
their themes to the audience.
They have been rehearsing three

Close Relationships?

One of the best opportunities that four years at Agnes
Scott offers is one that seems to be missed by many
students. Relatively few students and professors use this
chance to form a meaningful re-relationship, or at least to
confront each other on a person to person basis-not a
professor-student or note-giver to note-take basis.

The classroom situation is a time for giving and receiving
of knowledge, and although most professors project their
personalities into their teaching, it is very easy for the
student to see them behind the desk only as an incarnated
mind, a body of infinite information to which her only
response is total awe. This is good, but the potential whole
woman needs to know the actual whole professor.

Although there are exceptions, for many students and
professors there seems to be some kind of barrier
preventing a casual, informal, interpersonal relationship
outside the classroom. As one junior recently remarked,
"Before coming here, I read the phrase in the catalogue
about 'close faculty-student relationships' and even
imagined myself having private intellectual discussions over
a cup of coffee with my professors". This is the idea we
have, but we do not often act on the idea. One source of
hesitation on the students' part is a feeling of inferiority.

The times when students and faculty do get together on
an informal basis- Black Cat, A. A. picnics, Hub parties-
are too few. One very obvious example of students'
eagerness to be with professors in an informal situation is
the great success of the faculty raffle during Junior Jaunt .
Most students really would like to watch "Mission:
Impossible", go to the zoo, or even take pot luck with a
faculty member.

If faculty members could be persuaded to come out of
the private dining room, meal times would be an excellent
chance to talk informally. Friendships cannot be promoted
on a mass, organized basis, but greater opportunities for
establishing person-to-person communication between
faculty members and students might be beneficial in many
ways to life here.

The causes of the barrier probably exist on both sides.
Students feel that faculty members have more important

things to do, and faculty members consequently may not
even recognize the fact that students really would like to
get to know them. Hopefully, pointing out that the
situation exists will be a first step in correcting it.

I earley risings j

x by sandra earley j

Upon hearing that I was going to the Southern Literary Festival last
weekend, a professor commented that he knew what I'd be writing
about for the next several weeks.

Well, he's right - for this week at least. I must tell you about my
wonderful weekend in Dallas at that most correct, intellectual of
conferences. The Festival centered around poetry readings by the
Vanderbilt Fugitive-Agrarian poets: Andrew Lytle, John Crowe
Ransom, Allan 1 ate and Robert Penn Warren.

It all began gloriously Thursday night with a lecture. The
experience was completely blissful. All of us proper little Southerners
sat in our immaculate, if somewhat dowdy, clothes in the lovely, but
acoustically terrible, gym and didn't smoke, curse or drink while
waiting for the master to come and speak.

He began to talk after an introduction in the proper Southern
tradition of oratory and I heard just enough to know that he was
lecturing on James Joyce's "The Dead" which I hadn't read. Then my
attention was taken by a little black spider as he and 1 both squirmed
on my mortuary chair. I soon lost my friend, however, as the boy
behind me squashed him.

Friday morning we heard our first poetry reading of the weekend,
but this time 1 didn't get to sit in one of the mortuary chairs. 1 had
the privilege of sitting in the gym bleachers - the perfect place to
hear the crackle of the P. A. system and the superior, amused chuckles
of the intellectuals seated below me catching every word of the
poetry. When the crackling was all over, I again heard the pleasant
female voice telling me and the whole audience that this reading was
an experience "we shall not soon forget."

This by now familiar routine continued the rest of the afternoon
and through Saturday; it was varied a bit at the banquet Friday night,
however, when the Cornish hen and rum ice cream balls (aha!) were
followed by a stimulating 30 minute panel discussion of the merits or
drawbacks of sending Zeroxed manuscripts to publishers. A rather
heated debate arose on this scintillatingsubject.

Ah, how happy and entertained I was at the Southern Literary
Festival! How could I ever have enjoyed those other conferences that
students planned and directed when this one was so stimulating when
done by adults.

I really never enjoyed exchanging ideas with my contemporaries at
those other meetings; I would lots rather sit and listen for hours on
end to someone read or lecture on a poem or story I hadn't read. And
then we were all so neat - hardly a beard or long sideburn in the lot;
that element just wasn't represented.

It was a completely wholesome, intellectual, refined experience.

"And here's that loose board

that still looks down into the date parlor."

Griffin Duo
Plays Organ

On April 28

Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m.,
Agnes Scott seniors, Becky and
Alice Griffin, will present an
organ recital in Presser Hall.

Their selections feature a
wide range of periods and
countries. The earlier
composers are Johann
Sebastian Bach and George
Frederic Handel from
Germany and Cesar Franck,
Belgian by birth and French by
adoption, Charles Marie Widor,
another French composer.

Johannes Brahms of
Germany represent a later
period. Olivier Messiaen and
Leo Sowerby are among the
contemporary writers.

Besides their individual
pieces, the girls will play a duet
by Samuel Wesley of England.
This duet is one of the few
organ compositions originally
composed for two players on
one organ. The campus
community is invited.

Dr. Duran
Lectures on
Symbolists

Manuel Duran, the
University Center visiting
scholar, will lecture on "Ruben
Dario and the French
Symbolists" April 29 at 8 p.m.
in McLean Auditorium.

Born in Barcelona, Spain, in
1925, Dr. Duran studied in
Spain, France, Mexico and the
United States. He received his
Ph.D. degree from Princeton
University and taught at Smith
College before accepting his
present position of professor of
romance languages at Yale
University.

Dr. Duran will also
comment on Antonio
Marchado's poetry to Spanish
students during the 12: 10 class
period Monday.

Hooray! Many thanks to the faculty
and Executive Committee of the Board
of Trustees for passing the five day
week. It has been in the works actively
for the last year and will be
implemented on an experimental basis
for the 1968-69 session.

The new plan means some changes
and gear shifting for both faculty and
students, but free Saturdays will give a
large block of needed spare time. Under
the planned schedule, chapels will be an
hour later, the now unused 1 p.m. hour
will be utilized each day and on
Tuesday and Thursday there will be two
75 minute class periods.

Whoopee!

f

With Saturdays free of classes,
students will be able to have one real
day of rest when it is not necessary to
prepare for classes the ,next morning.
Beginning next year students will have a
large block of time to catch up on the
mundane things of life like sleeping,
washing clothes or even a little extra
study.

Whatever you do with your
Saturdays next year, use then
creatively, even if it's just eradicating
the circles under your eyes. Let's hope
that this large block of time can be used
in some way to round out our lives that
so )ften become lopsidedly academic.

Students Try Ghetto
Life During Summer

by ELIZABETH MATHES
Staff Writer

An unique opportunity for students lo unuerstand what a ghetto

participants, the Cornerstone Project has been introduced to Atlanta.

group to see problems and

the success of the project will
depend on the initiative of the
participants and the use they
make of their free time.

Atlanta's project is located in
Summerhill, and will have four
different sessions for twenty
persons per session. The sessions
are June 30 - July 12, July 14 -
26, July 28 - August 9, August 1 1

men who were concerned that
the vast populace who spoke
about the "ghetto" had no actual
experience there, Cornerstone
now has had over 200
participants in four major cities.
Sponsors of the program include:
New York's Mayor Linsay,
Atlanta's Mayor Allen,
Cleveland's Mayor Stokes and
Boston's Mayor White.

Participants in the
Cornerstone Project live in the
ghetto for two weeks, staying in
the Project house and working
with established anti-poverty
programs. By talking with OEO
and VISTA workers, playing with
the children and simply being
with the people, each individual
will have the opportunity to
make a personal evaluation of the
war on poverty. Participants will
be allowed to work with the
program which best suits their
interests.

In the evenings, there will be a
series of seminars, panel
discussions and group activities
featuring local government and
community leaders. Last
summer's session in Atlanta
included meetings with the
mayor, talks by city planners and
exposure to the local political
structure.

the topics of discussion.

Editor's Note: The following is an
interview with David P. Forsythe,
assistant professor of political science,
conducted by Kay Parkerson,
associate editor of THli PROFILE,
prior to Wednesday's Choice 68
election.

Question: Whom do you think
the students will favor in Choice
68?

Answer: I just can 1 ! answer for
certain, nationally Kennedy and
McCarthy have the most appeal
to students. McCarthy has made
effective use ot students and
Kennedy went to the students at
the University of Alabama after
his candidacy. He has made the
biggest pitch to them so far. You
can eliminate a few-Halstead,
L.B.J. , Stassen and Wallace. 1
think the students will not go for
Wallace- his appeal is to an older
generation.

Percy and Lindsay are figures
in the background. Reagan
doesn't have much of a vote
nationally, but is strong in
California.

Rockefeller and Hatfield have
an appeal in a sort of ambiguous
way. Nixon doesn't appeal to
students, and has made no big
pitch to students so far.

My decisions are just a stab in
the dark- just a matter of
impressions-but Kennedy and
McCarthy, Rockefeller and
Hatfield seem to appeal to the
students.

Q- Do you think this will have
any appreciable effect on the
national campaign, the
candidate's chances, or the voting
public?

A- This poll may not influence
the campaign, because student
opinion has primarily an indirect
influence. The candidates realize
that many students won't be able
to vote, but on the other hand,

by KAY PARKLRSON
Associate Editor

student politics are important
this year. Student participation
gives the image of dynamism to a
candidate and gives the
appearance of motion and
enthusiasm and support.

Q- If this student support is so
important before the convention,
will it lend to lessen afterward?

A- This image of support tends
to have a snowball effect. Voters
will get on the bandwagon, and
students may influence the 25-35
age group to vote. It is not a
short-run effect but an indirect
one.

Q- Do you t h ink student
support of a candidate could hurt
him?

A- A harmful effect? No, 1
dbn't see how it could. Students
surely will do nothing out of line.
1 hey will be supervised by the
political pros and kept within the
candidate's platform. Once again,
it is student involvement that is
important-not so much student
policy-making-because it gives the
effect of movement. The
convention will take into account
a candidate who looks like a
winner before the election. This
may hurt Nixon if undecided
convention votes go with a late
arriving, student-supported
candidate.

Hubert Humphrey can appeal
to students because he has had a
liberal image. But if war drags on,
Humphrey is put at a
disadvantage-he will have to
defend the administration.
Q-Concerning the referendum

questions on the Choice 68 ballot"
(two on Viet Nam, one on urban
problems), will the majority of
students be more conservative
than the activists we hear of?
A- Not on Viet Nam. There
should be a very definite trend
toward a dovish stand-either
phased reduction in military ac-
tion or a pure dove stand.

Concerning the bombing
question, 1 think they will tend
toward the dove again. A tem-
porary or permanent cessation of
bombing is a dead letter now, but
the campaign will depend upon
what happens in the negotiations.

On the urban question, I really
don't know. Students would
probably check education be-
cause of their interest in educa-
tion. On the whole, students wP 1
not be more conservative, par-
ticularly about Viet Nam.

in general, student politics will
be important, but probably not
so important as the people doing
the survey think. If they think
the conventions and the election
will be influenced to a great
extent by this survey, they're
overstating the case.

If Nixon has the delegates be-
fore the convention, it won't
matter how he does on this poll.

If McCarthy wins on the poll it
won't reduce the power of Ken-
nedy's money or his political
organization.

I mean to say that student
politics are important, but I
wouldn't say that this poll is
going to be all that important.
There are too many other factors
in the picture.

'Elvira Madigan' Is
A Beautiful Movie'

by COLLEEN NUGENT
Feature Editor

If you happen to be the type of individual who enjoys a movie
which combines an interesting and well-developed love story with
outstanding photography, you cannot help but find "Elvira Madigan"
one of the most pleasant movie experiences you will ever have.
This Swedish film has been described as the most beautiful movie
ever made. It is certainly the most beautiful this writer has ever
seen.

"Elvira Madigan" is the story
of a love affair between a circus
tight-rope walker and a deserter
from the Swedish army. Their
love is made very real by the
spring in which they move and
yet, underlying the seemingly
light, happy love affair is a dra-
matic quality which builds to an
excellently constructed climax*

One is made constantly aware
of the hopelessness involved in
trying to "live on love," in shut-
ting out the rest of the world. It
is only too obvious that one will
need food and money and that
love, no matter how strong, can
never be the only thing in life.

Contributing most of all to the

whether you see it with English
subtitles or with the English
dubbed in. This is a movie which
conveys its message without
words and, for that reason, it is
the type of film that one could
see many times, always catch-
ing something that was missed
before.

One tends to emerge from this
film with a sense of sadness for
the human condition yet with a
wonder at the beauty of spring
and love and children at play.
Because one learns so much and
feels so much more, it is a
worthwhile movie to see.

moderator.

For upperclassmen this is an
opportunity to ask questions
about graduate school that
catalogs cannot answer. But
according to Sally Flberfeld, "It
is also beneficial to freshmen in
order that they see some of the
mistakes that can be made in
scheduling, and can begin
planning for the future now."

Nugent Interviews Scotties
On Their Off-campus Jobs

The question of a need for
financial help during the college
years is often a serious problem.
Like most schools. Agnes Scott
tries to fill this need by providing
a student aid program as well as a
vocational office offering job
opportunities outside the school.

The aid program is set up on
the basis of work scholarships
which require a certain amount
of time on the job each week.
This work involves on-campus
duties, such as Main hostess desk
duty, switchboard duty, work in
the library, etc. "Pay" or
scholarship is determined on the
basis of financial need of the
student. According to the 1967
Agnes Scott Bulletin, 23% of the
student body had aid from the
college in 1 966.

In addition to the student aid
program there is a possibility of
outside work. This work can
either be obtained through the
vocational office or sought out
by a student herself. In any case,
the job must be approved by lone
Murphy, Director of Vocational
Services.

Junior, Barbara Dye works
with an optometrist in Decatur
who does visual therapy with
children. Her primary reasons for
taking the job are for the extra
money as well as the experience
of working with children with
problems.

Jeannie Gross is on student
aid and also is in charge of the
church nursery at Morningside
Presbyterian Church. She makes
this remark in comparing the two
jobs: "The biggest difference in
the outside job is the opportunity
to meet people off campus. The
student aid is an easier job to get
but a disadvantage is that the
on-campus salary is in scholarship
form while money earned
off-campus can be spent."

Tish Lowe, also on student aid
while serving as the organist at St.
Stephen Lutheran Church, points
out, "The idea of student aid
rather than gratis scholarships is
good because it makes you feel
responsible." She feels she is
earning more at the outside job,
has more responsibility and will
have some good experience but

officers will speak, and half of

The late afternoon and
evening will be used for class
reunion functions. The Alumnae
Association is organized by
classes, and this 1968 meeting
will be the 50th milestone year
for the Class of M 8.

Miss Johnson plans for free
time during the day when these
Agnes Scott graduates will want
to talk to students. Some might
want to see their old rooms, so
she suggest that spring cleaning is
in order.

she also emphasizes that
student aid is easier work.

Holly Knowlton works at the
Dairy Queen-Brazier in Decatur.
Her purpose in obtaining the job
was to earn extra money. When
asked why she chose the outside
job over student aid, she
answered, "\ felt I was able to
make more money at this job; in
this case I can pick my own hours
and get contact with people
outside rather than just Agnes
Scott people."

Three of the students with
outside jobs are doing market
research for a company called
Tracor. These are very short-term
jobs (perhaps two weeks) and
involve interviewing Atlanta
residents. The girls in this group
are Pam Slinkard, Vicky
Hutcheson and Gayle Grubb.
Both Vicky and Pam are also on
student aid. Vicky's purpose in
taking the job was to supplement
her money supply. She comments
in comparing the two, "With the
off-campus job you can see the
monetary results, but there is a
transportation problem and more

tension than you encounter
on-campus."

Pam took the outside job for
experience as well as the pay. She
feels there are disadvantages to
both jobs in that they take time
from studies and the student aid
money goes for tuition rather
than directly to the student. The
outside job also has drawbacks in
that it requires so much time,
doesn't last for a long enough
period, scheduling is difficult,
there are problems with
transportation and there are not
enough jobs available.

Gayle Grubb took her outside
job for extra spending money.
Her biggest complaint was, "If a
girl can handle the job and keep
her grades up, she should be
allowed to budget her own time
and should not have to go
through school officials for job
permission."

Carol Renfro, a married
student who works in the
Columbia Seminary library, says
that her reasons for taking the
job were monetary, although she
has been glad for the experience
also. Although never on student
aid, Carol says she has enjoyed
the responsibility in the outside
job, which is something she might
not have had with an on-campus
job.

Claudia Hollen does secretarial
work for two lawyers in Decatur.
She took the job in order to gain
experience in the business world
and also for the extra money. She
states, "The outside job is a
disadvantage in the amount of
time it involves, which is more
than a student aid job would
probably mean. It's an advantage,
however, in that you get off
campus and can meet new
people."

specific guidelines deliniating
what type of dress is considered
appropriate at all times.

Under the new dress policy,
rolled up hair is permissible in the
upper dining hall at breakfast
each day and on Friday and

Stockman Previews
Metropolitan Opera

by ELIZA STOCKMAN
The Metropolitan Opera will be in Atlanta the week of May 6-11
with performances each evening at 8 p.m. and Saturday afternoon al
1 :30. All performances will be at the Fox Theater.

The opening night production
will be "Luisa Miller" by
Giuseppe Verdi. The libretto of
this opera is an adaptation by S.
Cammarano of Schiller's play
"Kabale und Liebe."

"Luisa Miller" is especially
interesting because it marks a
turning in Verdi's career. It is a
preparation for the dramatic and
musical maturity to be found in
Verdi's later operas such as
"Rigoletto" and "La Traviata."

"Tosca" by Giacomo Puccini
will be presented on Tuesday
night. This opera is one of the
most thrilling and dramatic of
Puccini's operas. The libretto is
filled with blood and violence. It
contains torture, murder,
execution and suicide and some
of the most exciting music
Puccini ever wrote. The role of
Tosca will be sung by Gabriella
Tucci.

George Bizet's "Carmen" is
the production for Wednesday
night. The libretto for "Carmen"
is taken from a novelette by
Prosper Merimee.

Bizet's librettists greatly

condensed the plot and as a
result, left out some of the basic
motivations and conflicts.
Therefore, the character of
Carmen seems now to be very
inconsistent. However, Bizet's
music brings the needed unity
and drama to the work and has
made it one of the most familiar
of all operas. Grace Brumby will
sing the role of Carmen.

"Le Nozze di Figaro" by
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart will
be heard on Thursday night. This
opera is based on the
Beaumarchais play "La Folle
Journee, ou Le Mariage de
Figaro".

Beaumarchais play had
incurred the displeasure of several
royal houses because of its
attacks on contemporary
aristocracy.

Mozart's librettist, Lorenzo da
Ponte, made some changes to
make the opera acceptable to
royal ears but he still managed to
construct an extremely
complicated plot.

concerning sports attire are still
in effect.

No further deliniations of
dress are made except the
familiar statement that
appropriate dress is expected at
all times and that Sunday dress is
appropriate for the noon meal on
Sunday.

On Tuesday, April 23, Rep
Council passed its two resolutions
concerning the plan for dorm
sign-out; on Thursday the
administrative committee also
gave its approval to the two
resolutions. RC-49 concerns
sign-out procedure and RC-50
provides for the appointment of
House Council members for next
year and states their new duties.

Under the new sign-out
procedure, a slotted board will be

located on each hall containing a
blue and white card for each
student. Blue cards will be used
for all sign-outs needing the
approval of the Dean's staff. A
student will sign out on the blue
card and turn the white card to
the side marked "out" on the
board in her dorm. Then she will
take the blue card to the dean's
office for approval, leave it there
and return there to sign in. After
signing in she will take her blue
card back to her dorm and turn
the white card back to the side
marked "in."

Other resolutions approved by
the administrative committee
include a change in late time limit
for students walking in Decatur,

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are those of
the majority of the editorial staff. They do not necessarily represent the
opinion of the administration or student body.

Responsibility-

Change has come to Agnes Scott. The results of long
and hard work, but work nevertheless, through the proper
channels of student government, have been seen here in the
past two weeks in four major areas -the dorm sign-out, the
new dress policy, the convocation committee and the five
day week. These changes were brought about only with
cooperation and serious attempts at communication and
understanding between students, faculty and
administration. Those people who worked for the changes
are to be commended for their efforts.

The lack of anticipated opposition, the facility with
which the changes were made, seemed almost
anti-climactic, a little disappointing to those students who
actually enjoy protesting against the present state of affairs,
regardless of what that state may be. There are many of us
who would get more excited over student walk-outs or
boycotts than we would over the object of the protests.

Now the responsibility is back with the students. We
asked for dorm sign-out and we now have dorm sign-out.
This new privilege carries with it the necessity that each
individual assume a responsibility for it, for the policy is
not one that can be implemented on any scale larger than
the individual. Failure to exercise this responsibility means
not only the failure of the policy itself; it has larger
implications. The possibility of bringing about any other
major changes next year, or probably for the next several
years, depends on our successful operation of the dorm
sign-out.

It looks as though we are finally learning to act
responsibly instead of confining ourselves to gripes and
complaints over the second cup of coffee at dinner. Griping
admittedly is easier, and failure to act responsibly in accord
with the new privileges we now have may mean that
"coffee cup griping" is all that we can do.

...to the Class of r 72

Change is exciting, especially for those people who have
worked for it. The enthusiasms over the events of the past
few weeks will carry over to the new school year, and more
changes will be proposed and worked on. Therefore, next
fall, the sophomores, juniors and seniors will be eager for
the freshmen to understand and appreciate "how much
better things are now than they were when Icamehere as a
freshman" (the stock phrase of all alumnae). This is good,
but even more important is that the freshmen be given first
stable basis on which to build, a panoramic perspective into
which they can later incorporate the changes.

To assume that an incoming freshman can appreciate
these changes as much as an upperclassman does is
idealistic. She will appreciate what actually exists when she
is here. If her first impression is of great flux and
instability, she will never have a context in which to fit the
changes.

The things that are basic to life at Agnes Scott are stable
and unchanging. Because they are so basic, they are taken
for granted and often become lost in the questioning, the
challenging, the changing of less basic things. What these
basic things are cannot be explicitly stated, for we do not
often think about them seriously, but even though we
laugh at the term, what is basic really does have something
to do with becoming a whole woman, with integrity,
honor, with finding of self.

We upperclassmen next fall have the responsibility to
change our emphasis and perspective somewhat, to think
about and talk about not only what could be better here,
but what is good now also. It is right for us to be excited
about the changes, but we must also be excited about those
things which will remain the same.

1 feel compelled this week to take the space in this column to
praise and congratulate the Dance Group for their spring concert. If
you missed it, you missed the most complete theatre experience (as I
would say in my most pompous, critical voice if I were being
sarcastic) that I have seen done by Agnes Scott people since "Glass
Menagerie" way back there a year ago last fall.

We've had Emlyn Williams and those beautifully stage French
plays the Alliance Francaise brings, but all dramatic productions this
year done by campus groups, have lacked something. The dance
concert went a long way toward filling this lack because of its
completeness, co-ordinating exquisitely the elements of lights,
costumes, music and dance.

The audience at the concert was unusual, to say the least this year,
being liberally salted (or maybe I should say peppered) with alumnae,
but in spite of them (who spent a good bit of their time complaining
about the recent passage of the five day week and other trivia like
voluntary class .attendance the rest of the audience saw a program,
which covered completely the emotional range from the highly
dramatic and almost tragic to the delightfully comic.

I think that particularly in the last number of the program, there
was something to be gleaned from the experience more than just the
enjoyment of the moment in watching the dance. The dance was
entitled "PDQ Bach" and was a combination of what we usually
think of as modern dance and the impish comedy and freedom which
has been incorporated into the dance this year to a greater degree and
more cleverly.

"PDQ Bach" had the usual, graceful mode of dance that we all
remember from each year's Christmas program with those high, wide
leaps, hands folded in prayer and anguished twisting on the floor. But
added refreshingly to this year's concert, was the comic element of
two dancers awkwardly trying to copy, but almost taunting, the
other floating, ephemeral dancers.

I could not help but take this combination and apply it to our
situation at Agnes Scott, especially with last weekend being alumnae
weekend and after the highly conservative statements I heard from
many of them at their panel discussion on Saturday.

Here we are at Agnes Scott, the epitomy of the Serious Student
walking through the halls of learning with our heads held nobly erect
and our arms upstretched to the great god Grade, leaping loftily over
the hurdles of required courses, electives and just as intense,
extra-curricular acitivities.

We can get to be awfully stogy before our time - before we
grow-up and can't let ourselves go. We need to tear away occasionally
and mock our world a little. Ever felt like scrawling an intellectual
obscenity across a wall? Do it. Everyone needs to steal a painting
every once in a while or at least get a good laugh at someone who
does. Why, you can even get almost the same feeling by swimming or
floating unconcernedly in the alumnae pool when several adults are
examining the azaleas in the garden. Let yourself go - live a little. It's
spring.

The Editor's Note: The following is
a weekly column written by Martha
Harris, Rep Council Representative.
It's purpose is to keep the student
body informed on the work of Rep
Council each week.

Representative Council began
its new year by taking suggestions
for goals for the coming year.

Some of the tentative goals
which will be discussed under
internal government and
communications are the
following: 1. Considering the
re-organization of Rep
Council which will involve
changing the number of
freshman representatives from
two to three.
2. Closing the gap between
student representatives and
student s-at -large by more
systematic posting of Rep notes
and R.C.'s in the dorms.

Most of the goals included in
the social policies category
involve the interpretation of
Agnes Scott's attitude toward its
function of in loco parentis. This
category includes the
re-evaluation of such specific
rules as chaperonage, picnic
policy, late time limit and the
drinking policy.

The academic goals also cover a
wide range of student problems.
Some of the suggested
improvements are the following:

1. Having voluntary class
attendance really a matter of
individual responsibility. This
will also include a discussion
of changing the strict
regulations regarding cutting
of classes before and after
vacations.

2. Posting exam schedules.

3. Permitting individual students
to schedule their own exams.

Davidson Drinks in Dorms

by ELIZABETH CRUM

Copy Editor

Editor's Note: For the remainder of this year and
for next year, Elizabeth Crum will continue to write
an exchange column from time to time. However,
we would like to give this column a new name. From
now on the column will be called "Perspective" with
the hope that it can present a picture of what other
colleges are doing and serve as a basis of comparison
for Agnes Scott.

The Davidson ian, Davidson College: The
Committee on Rules and Punishments of
Davidson College has released a new
philosophy for rules of student conduct, which
would allow drinking on campus and open
dorms.

The code, which will be presented for review
to the Student Life Committee and the faculty
and students, is based upon the assumption of
responsibility and maturity on the part of the
student. It "emphasizes the responsible use of
freedom, as opposed to license."

Under the new code the consumption of
alcoholic beverages is permitted in private
houses, fraternity houses, dormitory facilities
or other areas designated by the
administration. The possession or use of drugs
and firearms on the campus is prohibited.
Female visitors will be permitted to visit the
dormitories during certain hours on the
weekends.

A joint student-faculty regulations court
would be established, consisting of six students
and six faculty members, who would enforce
the code through a philosophy of discipline
considering each infraction individually and
making its decisions according to the
seriousness of the offense. The existing Honor
Court and honor regulations would remain
virtually intact.

Wellesley News, Wellesley College:
"Many a Harvard man thus attempted
to maintain his musculine superiority. For,
while he and his fellows pleaded, petitioned
and proposed sleep-ins to extend parietal hours

only to meet the adamant opposition of their
Masters, the provervial tortoise overtook the
hare, and Wellesley, which had formerly
grudgingly advocated coed privacy only on
Sunday afternoons, opened its upstairs doors
to men with an ease and liberality that
surprised its students and shocked their dates.

"Perhaps it was the spectre of the change in
the once staid and conservative institution,
perhaps it was the threat to the masculine ego,
perhaps it was the weekday exodus to partake
of freedom in the West, perhaps all three. The
chance is better than good that next year
Harvard will enact a major extension of
parietal hours. To what? Noon to 10 p.m. on
weekdays, and noon to 1 a.m. on Friday and
Saturday."

* * *

The Emory Wheel, Emory University: The
Student Government Association of Emory
University has approved the SGA-IFC
Committee report that calls for fraternity
changes.

The committee recommends a "collegiate
system" to supersede and supplement the
present fraternities and dormitories. To achieve
this "collegiate system," the committee
suggests a series of changes in the physical
plant and changes in the method of assigning
students to the small living groups.

These changes would be accomplished
through three transitional steps. The first
involves the modification of the one-ball
system to a vote of two-thirds, then to
one-half, and then to no vote at all. The second
step involves a program of extended rush
designed to produce "colleges with intentional
assignment

The third phase combines the remodeling of
the dormitories and the renovation of the
fraternity houses. These areas would
accommodate the number of students required
to form a college in addition to dining and
recreational facilities for the students and
living quarters for faculty.

COMMITTEE ON ACADEMIC PROBLEMS HELD A PANEL DISCUSSION
For Alumnae On "What Education Do Today's Students Demand?"

In the spring of 1967, THE
PROFILE distributed to students
a questionnaire on a variety of
subjects ranging from abortion to
Johnson's war policy. The results
of this questionnaire were not
processed at that time. Recently

Panel, Alumnae Discuss
Pass-fail, Five Day Week

On Saturday, April 27, Agnes
Scott alumnae heard a panel
discussion on "What Education
Do Today's Students Demand?"
as a part of their Alumnae
Weekend activities. The
discussion was in the form of an
open meeting of the
Faculty-Student Committee on
Academic Problems and was
moderated by student chairman,
Sally Wood.

Sally opened the meeting by
giving a brief history of the
committee from its inception
following a letter from Lynne
Wilkins, 1967 president of
student government, to the
faculty requesting that a
committee be set up to consider
student academic problems.

Then the panel began
discussing the work of the
committee which has already
been implemented and that
which they are presently
discussing this year's pass-fail
experiment, the recently passed
five day academic week,
intellectual orientation for
freshmen and voluntary class
attendance.

Dean of the Faculty, C. Benton
Kline, led the discussion of
pass-fail and opened by
reminding the alumnae that this
system is little different from the
merit -pass-fail system many of
them lived under years ago here.
There was a pleasant recognition
murmur from the audience.

According to Dean Kline,
there were 48 pass-fail elected
courses during fall quarter, 60 in
the winter and 66 this quarter.
More seniors than juniors have
taken pass-fail courses because
juniors have two years in which
to spend their pass-fail hours.
Dean Kline told the alumnae that
"Juniors have been more careful
about how they use up their
pass-fail."

In the distribution of pass-fail
election over departments,
philosophy had the most students
electing courses on this basis. Fall
quarter, 1 2 of the 34 students in
aesthetics were on pass-fail.
During winter quarter the most
pass-fail was elected in the world
religions course. This spring it is
an English course; nine girls out
of 60 in twentieth century
American literature are on
pass-fail.

No one has elected pass-fail
courses in either mathematics or
speech and drama. Thirty-five
people have taken courses on
pass-fail in philosophy, 25 in art,
26 in English, 16 in Bible and 14
in history. There has been one
student to fail a course in
pass-fail

The panel moved from the
discussion of pass-fail to talking
about the new five day academic
week slated to go into effect next
year. The mechanics of the shift
in schedule were explained to the
alumnae.

by SANDRA EARLEY
Editor

After a short break, the panel
returned to discuss intellectual
orientation for freshmen and
voluntary class attendance. Sally
Wood reported to the alumnae on
the intellectual orientation
program saying that its purpose
was to give freshmen an idea of
why they are here academically.

Voluntary class attendance
v s one of the last items the
panel discussed. The Committee
on Academic Problems is now in
the process of discussing this
issue so that their talk for the
alumnae on Saturday was
"completely off the cuff" as
Sally Wood said.

Students on the panel
expressed their views first. Sally

stated the ambiguity of the
situation by pointing out the
inconsistency of some professors
who never take class roll and
others who take roll at each class
meeting and may or may not
penalize a student for cutting
class. Mary Chapman expressed
the varying attitudes of both
students and faculty on voluntary
class attendance when she said
that "Some people see voluntary
class attendance as free cuts while
others see it as responsible class
attendance."

The panel concluded its
discussion by speaking briefly to
a question that was submitted by
an alumnae concerning the nature
and validity of chapels with the
suggestion that Tuesday and
Thursday chapels be eliminated.

Blackfriars Hunting
Menfor 'Madwoman 9

by BEVERLY WALKER
Staff Writer

"Would you like to choose seven men to work in the spring play,
The Madwoman of Chaillot?' If so check in order of preference the
following list and see your favorite man on campus swallowed up in
the sewers of Paris."
This is how your

ballot this
afternoon will read. This year
Agnes Scott seems to be having
trouble attracting men. (Being a
freshman, I hope this isn't a
characteristic problem). Of the
many available parts 16 have
been filled. Seven additional
victims however are needed.
Students have thus been asked to
vote for the men on campus they
would most like to see in the
sewer. Blackfriars urges each
student to express her opinion by
voting.

"The Madwoman of Chaillot"
will be presented by Blackfriars
on May 17 and 18. The play by
Jean Giradoux involves a
conspiracy against Paris. A group
of financiers and brokers try to
destroy Paris in order to exploit
the oil believed to be in Parisian
subsoil. These men however meet
their great opponents - women -
and (naturally) the women
outsmart the men. These women
(like most at Agnes Scott) are not
ordinary; they are mad. The
madwomen entice these greedy
businessmen into a cellar and
send them down a secret stairway
from which there is no return.

According to Cathi Ford, past
president of Blackfriars, "The
play is a really delightful
comedy." Cathi plays Countess
Aurelia, the Madwoman of
Chaillot. She finds the play and
rehearsals fun because, "the
Countess is such a marvelous, fun
person."

All of the madwomen have
peculiar quirks. Constance, the
Madwoman of Passy played by
Carol Ann McKenzie, talks and
plays with an imaginary dog.

Gabrielle, the Madwoman of St.
Sulpice played by Paula Swann,
consults voices that come from
her hot water bottle. These
gurgling sounds, she is convinced,
give great advice. Gabrielle is also
terribly naive. She becomes
wide-eyed even at the mention of
sex. (Gabrielle, not Paula).

Patricia Johnston, the other
madwoman, is a freshman. When
asked if she was finding it hard to
keep up with rehearsals and
school work she said, "Rehearsals
do take a lot of time, but I've
found doing something besides
studying has given me more of an
incentive to work better." She
added however, "Of course I
haven't gotten any grades back
yet."

Members of the cast other
than the madwomen are: Irma,
Judy Langford; Pierre, Bill
Gribble; Prospector, E. G.
Hutchings; President, Coe
Hamling (President of Theater
Atlanta); Baron, James Rabun;
Ragpicker, Richard McFadyen.
Others in the cast are Elizabeth
Jones, Glenda Singleton, Lennard
Smith and Joann Spencer.

pertained to sex (excluding the
four questions relating to
abortion) have been tabulated.
THE PROFILE also has plans to
distribute a similar questionnaire
to this year's freshmen and
compare the results of it to last
year's student body.

To the question "Do you
think contraceptives are wrong?"
4.2% answered "yes," 94.8%
answered "no," 1% was
undecided. Where marginal
comments were made to this
question they were to stress
approval of contraceptives after
marriage only; about 15 people
clarified their answer in this way.

The next question was "Do
you take contraceptives for birth
control purposes?" There were
1 1 "yes" answers to this
question, four of them from
married students. 96.5% of the
answers was "no"; "yes" answers
represented 3.5%.

The question "Do youthink
pre-marital sexual intercourse is
wrong?" drew 65.1% "yes"
answers, 31.9% "no" answers and
3% who were undecided.
Frequent comments were made
here, often expressing the feeling
that the answer to this question
was one to be decided by the
individual and that differing
circumstances might cause the
answer to vary.

10.3% of girls responding
answered "yes"' to the next
question, "Have you had
pre-marital sex relations?" which
left 89.7% of the Scotties
answering virgins.

81.1% of the individuals
tested replied that they do expect
to be virgins when they marry,
while 13.9% answered "no" and
4.2% were undecided. One of the
"yes" answers added "unless an
occasion arises."

Perhaps a good example of the

double standard was revealed in
the answers to the next question.
"Do you expect to marry a
virgin?" Only 39.4% of these
were "yes" answers, leaving
53.4% "no" and 7.2% undecided.
Comments on this question had a
tendency to be extremely
entertaining. Examples of some
of them are: "(yes) but I might
have to change that ideal or be an
old maid," "(yes) but if 1 found
out later that he was not, 1 think
I would still love him just as
much," "(yes) but I'm not so
naive as to think they come a
dime a dozen!" "(no) Are you
kidding me?" "(no) don't be
absurd," and "I don't care, I
want to marry a man."

The final question tallied was,
"Have your views about sex
changed since you have been at
Agnes Scott?" 40.3% of these
were "yes" answers, 59% "no"
answers, and .7% undecided. One
of the answers to this was "yes"
which was qualified by the
comment, "But not because of
Scott but because of age and
experience." Another answered
"yes" and commented, "They
(views about sex) have both
'liberalized' and become more
conservative. I have become
much more emphatic about the
responsibility involved in sex,
from holding hands on, but I
have also experienced more sex
and allowed more sexual
involvement. "(This girl answered
that she had had pre-marital sex
relations and was not taking
contraceptives "at present.")

Assuming that this test is an
accurate representation of
conditions at Agnes Scott, the
general attitude toward sex is an
extremely conservative one. In
view of these conservative results
we may conclude that not all the
questions are being answered
truthfully but with so many
questions receiving so many
conservative answers this is a
difficult conclusion to reach.

R. Lionel Stevenson
Now Visiting Campus

by CAROL BANNISTER
Staff Writer

Appearing on campus this week is the celebrated R. Lionel
Stevenson, the pinnacle of the intelligensia of the rat colony here at
Agnes Scott. He is known on campus as the infamous resident of
Larry K. Richman's office, 9A Buttrick, the book store's trash cans,
and the library.

outposts in the walls of the
library nine times out of ten
very nonacademic discussions.

Mr. Stevenson's newest
project is the organization of his
compatriots from the dining hall,
Rebekah and Main, in
coordination with the pigeons,
to stage a full scale terronzation
of Buttrick. Ann prefers to limit
the discussions to the subject of
Mr. Stevenson's departure.

Mr. Stevenson is not easy to
get in touch with but if you are
walking around Buttrick or the
library late some night, look for a
large grey rat, about the size of
two feet put side by side, with an
extremely long, thin, pink tail.
Take it from Ann-he will be
more than glad to visit with you.

R. Lionel Stevenson is
following in the footsteps of his
namesake, Lionel Stevenson,
English professor of the Duke
University graduate school. R. L.
Stevenson enjoys making surprise
appearances late at night while
doing research in Mr. Richman's _
office as Ann Hoefer is studying.
He can also be found nosing
around in the trash cans of the
book store (evidently the
pickings are exceptionally good
there) and the general area of the
library.

It is particularly inspiring for
Ann to have intimate discussions
with Mr. Stevenson late at night.
He enjoys recounting his latest
discoveries like juicy tidbits
strained from the basement of
Buttrick- discarded English
papers, tests, notes and potato
chips. Particularly interesting are
the overheard conversations he
gathers in through his various

making the Alumnae House "on
campus" at all times, a change in
chaperonage policy and a
redefinition of the Decatur Area.

Under RC-40 the time limit
for students walking in Decatur
to the movies, to faculty homes,
etc. has been changed from 1 1
p.m. to 11:45 p.m. so that
students will have more time to
get back to campus after movies;
and other functions are over.
RC-42 combines two regulations
on returning from out of town so
that a student may return
unchaperoned from out of town
whether it is after a regularly
scheduled holiday or an out of
town trip made at any other
time.

A change in the chaperonage
policy was approved after the
committee recommended a
clarification of the wording of
the policy. To quote the
resolution, "Students may ride
alone in taxis or private cars
provided they will be properly
chaperoned upon reaching their
destination. Slips must be
approved by a member of the
Dean's staff when signing out to
ride alone."

The committee called for a
clarification which would state
that students must be driving
their own private cars if not going
by public transportation and also
for a statement of the policy's
application to freshmen.

The Decatur Area was
redefined to extend north
through the Emory area and as
far as North DeKalb Plaza. The
Decatur area is defined by the
most frequented student
locations and had not been
re-examined since the building of
North DeKalb shopping center.

The one resolution that was
not approved by administrative
committee was concerning a
chaperonage requirement when
visiting the cabin. The new
resolution would have made it
permissable for a senior to
chaperone three other girls in the
cabin after 1 1 p.m. (faculty, staff
or alumnae are other possible
chaperones.) The administrative
committee felt that a senior
should not be asked to take this
kind of responsibility and that
they could not approve it for
safety reasons.

Unoffically
Nixon Wins
ASC Election

The results of Choice 68 on
the Agnes Scott campus were
released soon after the polls
closed Wednesday, April 24.

By an unofficial count,
sixty-three per cent of the
student body voted. Nixon was
the winner, receiving 137 of the
first choice votes. McCarthy
received 134; Rockefeller polled
60, Kennedy 47 and Humphrey
had 30 write-in votes.

By May third or fourth,
Co-curricular Committee who
sponsored the election will have
received the official returns from
Univac. These will establish how
Agnes Scott voted in relation to
the rest of the nation.

Two weeks later, the
committee will be notified of
more detailed information on
voting broken down as to region,
age, kind of school, size, etc.

"La Forza del Destino" will
be presented on Friday night.
This opera has an extremely
tragic and dramatic plot which is
indicated in the very beginning
by the overture.

"Madame Butterfly" by
Giacomo Puccini is the Saturday
matinee. The libretto is derived
from a play by David Belasco
which was based on John Luther
Long's short novel. The opera
was unsuccessful at its premiere
at La Scala in Milan in 1904, but
a revised form which appeared
three months later immediately
became one of Puccini's most
popular works.

"Romeo and Juliette" by
Charles Gounod will be the final
production. When this opera was
first performed at the
Metropolitan in 1891, it was the
first time opera had been sung in
French in that theater.

Committees Named

(CONT. FROM P. 1)

Green. Ann Hoefer is chairman of
Curriculum Committee for next
year

Co-curricular Committee this
year under Judy Williams has
sponsored the scholars at work
series, the symposium on the
middle ages and Choice 68. It will
be chaired next year by Mary
Hart who worked on the
committee this year.

Bonnie Brown is in charge of
Chapel Committee next year.
Marsha Williams will head
Symposium Committee in
1968-69. Next year's symposium
topic is /'Dissolution of the
Absolute"; a symposium was not
held this year with the idea that
if it were only done every two
years then the list of speakers for
the symposium could be bettered
and increased in the interim.

Exchange Committee and
Intercollegiate have been
combined for 1968-69 into one
committee under Tara Swartsel
who represented Agnes Scott at
the meetings of Intercollegiate
this year. The NSA co-ordinator
is Gayle Grubb. The Handbook
will be edited by Rep Council
member, Dede Bollinger.

Ann Mizell is in charge of
Student Services for next year
and Tina Brownley urges that
students "see this committee
about any gripes." Another
newly created committee is the
Library Committee which, under
Windy Lundy, will work with the
faculty Library Committee.

Two committees have been
created for only the spring
quarter of this year. They are the
Smoking Committee under junior
Bebe Guill which will explore the
possibilities of smoking in the
lower dining hall during meals,
and the Apartment Committee
with Adelaide Sams which seeks
to extend the application of
parental apartment permission.

Year Abroad
Planned By
Four Jrs.

Four girls from Agnes Scott
are going to spend at least part of
the 1968-69 session studying
outside the United States in
connection with the Junior Year
Abroad program.

Susan Pickard and Jane
Robinson will work
independently with their credit
to be determined when they
return. Ginger Reeves and Ann
Marquess will be in American
college sponsored programs and
receive full academic credit.

Susan will be at the University
of the Philippines for the fall
quarter. She hopes to take
courses in economics, Asian
politics, sociology emphasizing
the Philippine culture, social
psychology and French.

Jane will spend next year in
the British Isles, probably
Scotland. Although all her plans
are not definite, she knows that
she would have to include English
literature and European history
in her curriculum.

Ginger will be at the
University of Marburg in
Germany, where she will study
the German culture, economics
and the background history of
the German people. Ginger plans
to teach German when she
graduates.

After Ann tours France, she
will begin study at the University
of Paris. Her plans for study have
not been determined.

Choice 68 Winners Told
In National Ballot Results

(CPS) - College students
voted for Sen. Eugene McCarthy
(D-Minn.) and an end to the war
in Vietnam in Choice '68, the
national campus presidential
primary held April 24.

McCarthy polled 26.7 per cent
of the almost 1.1 million votes
cast, followed by Sen. Robert
Kennedy (d-N.Y.) with 19.9 per
cent and Republican Richard
Nixon with 1 8.4 per cent.

A combined 62.6 per cent of
the students voted for either an
immediate withdrawal of
American troops or a reduction
in American military involvement
in Vietnam against 30 per cent
who voted for either increased or
all-out military effort. Some 58
per cent voted for either a
permanent or temporary halt to
all bombing.

And 79 per cent voted for
either job training or education as
solution to the urban crisis.
About 90 per cent of the total
expected vote is in.

President Johnson's name was
on the ballot and Humphrey's
wasn't because they were printed
before Johnson withdrew from
the race. Martin Luther King's
name was on the ballot because
he was assassinated after the
ballots were printed. Humphrey
got 58 per cent of the write-in
votes, followed by Negro
commedian Dick Gregory who
had eight per cent of the write-ins
and .2 per cent of the total vote.

A final total of about 1.2

million students were expected to Democratic votes than McCarthy
vote in the election. Of 2,526 but the Minnesota senator was
colleges contacted by Choice '68, the overwhelming choice of

1,470 participated. But because
this included most of the large
schools, there was a potential
vote of about five million out of
a total of seven million U.S.
colleges.

Rockefeller was also
mentioned more often as a
second or third choice behind the
two leading Democrats than was
Nixon. For example, of those
who voted for McCarthy 42 per
cent voted for Rockefeller as a
second or third choice to 19 per
cent for Nixon. More Kennedy
voters named McCarthy as their
second or third choice than vice
versa. Sixty-six per cent of those
who voted for Kennedy would
take McCarthy as a second or
third choice, compared to 56 per
cent who would take Kennedy if
they couldn't get McCarthy.

: of Choice '68, said there would

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are those of
the majority of the editorial staff. They do not necessarily represent the
opinion of the administration or student body.

Profession: Student

The bulletin board across from the book store has
carried a discomforting message for the past few weeks.
Between the photograph of Spencer Tracy and the
half-lettered signs enticing Scotties to worship God on
Sunday morning with promises of fresh doughnuts and
Tech men, is a series of cartoons.

For the information of the less observant, and those
who get mail, the cartoon shows a man with arms
outstretched and a ready, willing face saying: "Use me,
Lord! Use me! I'll go anywhere - do anything - suffer abject
poverty - make any sacrifice... even martyrdom..

The last poster, in contrast, depicts him sitting glumly at
a table, looking disappointed and dejected, pouring over a
book. The caption reads: "Well, studying wasn't exactly
what I had in mind."

One of the most pertinent messages offered us this year,
the cartoon gets right to the center of one of the major
conflicts we, as college students, and especially as college
students at a small Southern women's college with a
Christian tradition, face. The college experience, although
by no means devoid of potential excitement, even
adventure, does necessarily entail postponement of some
aspects of life for the sake of becoming better prepared to
meet them. The books then, and the studying, have a
meaning beyond themselves.

One's first reaction to the thought expressed is
identification and a pleasant, secure feeling that emanates
from deep within when a shaky, unstable, half-formed idea
is given support from an outside source. The board implies
that our job now, our calling, is studying. This we like to
hear, because sometimes we do not like
studying-sometimes we wonder about the validity of the
whole business of college. Equating studying in a sense,
with martyrdom and starvation justifies our dislike and at
the same time lends an air of dignity, of courage, to our
pursuit of knowledge. It is all right to become discontent,
discouraged- after all, starving people have pains in their
stomachs, and martyrs do feel pain when the stones come.
The second reaction then, is one of satisfaction, or at least
resignation.

But then, how easy it is for this legitimate, sound idea
to become an excuse. It easily converts and adapts itself
into a rationalization for not taking part, for instance, in
the March for Martin Luther King, for not participating in a
service project. It is a great basis for not committing one's
self to anything, for confining one's concern for the world
to a cursory perusal of Time each week.

Studying means learning, and when learning is taking
place, there is transition- learning is becoming. So, the
calling of student can quite adequately cover up apathy,
non-concern, laziness. In the same manner, it can account
for a rigid dichotomizing of time - rather joyless but
intensive and purposive book learning on one hand,
contrasted with leisure time in which one dares not do
anything constructive on the other. These things can
happen.

It is easy to say that things will be different when one's
occupation is no longer student, that involvement and
commitment will be more convenient then, but how
different will it really be?

We must recognize that studying is our profession now,
but to what extent does that excuse us from other
worthwhile aspects of life? The satisfaction derived from
the bulletin board ought rightly to be disturbed by a
nebulous feeling that combines some uncertainty, some
rebellion against the implication of the message, and a lot
of perspective.

Yes, Agnes Scott is a college with a Christian commitment and as"
such has a collective group commitment to a Christian God. But we
being the liberal arts college that we are, do not limit ourselves to one
narrow field in our studies, or to only one god. Last week 1 briefly
touched on one of them the great god Grade and this past
weekend I was made aware of another of our Agnes Scott gods: the
holy, almost unapproachable diety of TRADISHUN.

Now, don't misunderstand me, I worship some parts of this great
god as much as anyone; I'm a great devotee of Christmas and Easter
and here at ASC, I firmly believe in the tradition of academic
excellence. It's some of the smaller traditions that I would take
exception.

I would never belabor Black Cat, Sophomore Parents Weekend or
Investiture, but something must be done about TRADISHUNS like
Senior Opera, daisy chain and, yes, even Junior Jaunt. We're
continuing to have them, continuing to flog their dead cararcasses,
when there is no meaning and only little interest left in them; they
are beginning to smell.

There was no class day last year for the seniors and therefore no
opportunity for the sophomores to present their sister class with the
traditional diasy chain. Some poor souls somewhere felt that since
this was a TRADISHUN, it shouldn't be allowed to die in peace, so
sophomores dragged themselves out of bed one Sunday morning to
bundle up scraggly bunches of daisies to leave outside each seniors
door.

Then we come to Junior Jaunt; if we are realistic and candid, it
was a flop this year. It's failure cannot be completely blamed on the
choice of weekend or on a lack of work done; the weekend was a bad
one, but those who worked on the class projects and the overall
weekend cannot be said to have shirked their tasks in any way.

It's failure has other causes. First, girls felt very little loyalty to
their class projects; not only did they not participate in them, they
did not even bother to contribute when they could not attend.

Maybe we need to rexamine not only the format of Junior Jaunt,
but also its purpose and any little meaning it may have left. Do we
really want to contribute as a college community to some sort of
charity and do we really want to do it through money. You know, we
could give other things, like time, to projects throughout the year. We
could also reap other benefits than the fun and enjoyment we get
from variety shows and faculty raffles or the satisfaction of doing a
good deed.

Senior Opera was last weekend.

I have seen this TRADISHUN degenerate noticeably in my three
years here. It was not really good my freshman year and has been
worse since. This year it seemed that the idea was that if you don't
have time to do a show that is genuinely funny, then do one that is
amusingly obscene.

There were amusing things about Senior Opera this year - the
orchestra (though conceived from an idea often used with children at
summer camp) was delightful. Then there was the rest of the show --
it wasn't even blatantly suggestive enough to keep the audience
laughing or to gross them out completely. Rather it was just plain
boring.

If there's no time or interest in doing an amusing, though
informal, skit, then let's just drop it. Let's not keep wasting valuable
time because Senior Opera, or anything else, is a TRADISHUN.

If we really want extra-curricular activities of the nature of daisy
chain, Junior Jaunt or Senior Opera, if we're not too apathetic to
support them, let's either seriously revamp what we have or
completely chuck the old TRADISHUNS and think of something
new that is applicable to 1969. This is the end of a year and time to
reflect - if we really care, then we can start again next year; if we
don't then let's just forget the whole thing, and at least not be
hypocritical.

Letter To The Editor-

by MARTHA HARRIS

Beginning in April, the
registrar's office is again sending
out information concerning the
major school policies to the
prospective freshmen who have
been accepted but not yet
notified the college that they are
coming.

The inclusion of this
information in a bulletin to
freshmen was suggested in answer
to complaints of recent freshmen
that they did not know what
policies they were pledging to
uphold when they signed the
honor pledge on their
applications.

Director of Admissions Laura
Steele emphasized that "Nothing
earth shaking has been done" in
including this information in the
freshman bulletin. Information of
this sort has been sent out to
prospective freshmen in the past
on both the drinking and
apartment policies, but in the
past several years while these
policies have been changing, there
was nothing concrete that could
be sent out.

The new enclosure contains the
standard information concerning
social privileges, personal
expenses and extra-curricular
activities. Its main additions are a
statement of the purpose of the
honor system and a summary of
what the Agnes Scott community
expects of its members in relation
to the drinking policy and the
apartment policy.

The statement on the
apartment policy is one
describing its implementation
(what kind of permission
members of each class must have
to go to apartments), rather than
a verbatim quote of the policy
lifted from the handbook. This
kind of statement has been made
in order to emphasize to the
prospective student the positive
rather than the negative side of
the policy and to avoid the
problems that can arise when
statements are quoted out of
context.

Letter Calls For CM. A.

Dear Madam Editor:

There is currently on campus a profuse
amount of interest in the areas of compulsory
convocation and voluntary class attendance.
Being ever concerned as I am with the
maintaining of proper perspective, I have been
devoting my attention to a matter that has
been grossly neglected, and I have conceived of
a program to alleviate the situation. I am
referring to CMA- Compulsory Meal
Attendance.

This area of life here is most important, but
in contrast with the other areas of import, it
lacks structure, organization. There are too few
rules, too few things specifically spelled out, to
make us feel comfortable in it.

My major points are as follows:

1) Classes will meet three times a day.
Those students in Meal 1 01 x will meet for an
extra meal each week on Tuesday or Thursday
afternoon.

2) Those students wishing to audit meals
will go through the motions of being served,
but will not actually eat anything. In contrast,
those who wish to take meals pass-fail (or
gain-lose) will be served like everyone else, but
will only be allowed to play with their food.
They will not, except in a few exceptions, be
allowed to chew the food and digest it.

3) students can cut any time except
Saturday nights (unless they bring their own
extra sharp steak knives).

4) It will be most important to keep the
course material from getting stale, and at no

time will class period be cut and dried (except
perhaps Saturday nights).

5) At the end of the quarter, examinations
will be given in the infirmary.

6) The content of the course will not be
spoonfed, and every effort possible will be
made to prevent this course from becoming
just another example of regurgitative learning.

7) At the beginning of each quarter,
announcements will be made and a syllabus
will be handed out concerning the plans for the
quarter. If for some reason, this lecture cannot
be given, we will certainly have it
mimeographed and copies will be made
available to the students.

8) If at the end of any class period, anyone
sees sufficient grounds for complaints, these
may be poured out to those in charge.

9) If one's work (or one's weight) tends to
fall off, or if one is absent from more than two
meals a quarter, she may be asked to have a
conference with the staff.

10) Those students wishing to pursue an
area of concentrated study may specialize in
jello, ice cream, tossed salad, or noodle
casserole. Because of lack of equipment, a
course in bacon will not be offered.

This concerns all of us and is, admittedly, a
serious matter. However, to change to a lighter
tone, I would like to suggest that we call this
the A-Mealeo-Ration Department. After all, we
must not take anything too seriously.

Respectfully submitted,
I ma O. Beece

It's spring. What would you -like to do? So there you are- on the

might. You can't think of any new places to go. . .

If it's daytime there is Grant

about Six Flags Over Georgia? It
is ten minutes out of downtown

Pittypat's Porch has a two

was a huge grease stain on her
pillow, apparently made from a
head, while several smaller stains
appeared on the bedspread itself.
Nothing else in the room had
been disturbed.

On April 19, the car of a
Georgia Tech student was stolen
while he was at Scott for an
on-campus date. The car was
parked in front of Buttrick Hall
on Buttrick Drive when it was
taken. It was found the next
morning where it had been
abandoned in Cartersville,
Georgia. The keys were not in the
car when it was parked on
campus, but it was not locked.

Stories like these two and
others have been floating around

Jr. Jaunt Winners
Found Faculty Fun

During the annual Junior Jaunt weekend this year, the senior class
held a faculty raffle for their class project to earn money. Eleven
weeks later, half of the students winning have collected on their
tickets.

had a stimulating discussion.

An evening for four with Mr.

Students purchased raffle
tickets for the privilege of
winning the special talent of one
of fourteen faculty or staff
members: Bertie Bond, Michael J.
Brown, Edna Byers, C. Blue
Calhoun, Kwai Sing Chang, Peggy
Cox, C. Benton Kline, Kay
Manuel, Kate McKemie,
Geraldine Meroney, Marie Pepe,
Margaret W. Pepperdene, Walter
B. Posey and Ferdinand Warren.

Winning the "arsenic and old
lace" of Miss Bond, Miss Manuel
and Miss McKemie were Jo Ray
Freiler, Beth Herring, Patricia
Auclair, Lou Frank and Evelyn
Angeletti. An out-door cook-out
was their fate; Steaks were
cooked a la grill.

Their waitresses appeared in
curler caps to serve them their
arsenic in elderberry wine, which
was really cranberry juice. Miss
Manuel, who had been kept out
of the kitchen after she
overturned an ice tray, was
fianlly allowed to serve the
desert. According to Jo Ray, they
all "really got stuffed."

Karen Hazelwood and Bernie
Todd were guests of Peggy Cox.
During a week of classes they
took some time off for lunch and
a trip to Stone Mountain where
they went canoeing.

The winner of lunch for two
with Mrs. Pepperdene was Talissa
McCormick. Linda Corder, one of
the freshmen in Talissa's
orientation group, accompanied
them to the Druid Hills Country

and Mrs. Pepe was won by
Helen Davis Leach. She was
accompanied by Alice Harrison,
Alice's fiance and Mr. Leach.
They had dinner by candlelight
prepared by a "great cook," Mrs.
Pepe, says Helen. After dinner
they were shown movies made by
the Pepe's during their week-end
visits to Lake Burton. Some of
the movie highlights were Mr.
Pepe in his wild jams and Mrs.
Pepe in her bathing suit jumping
off the dock.

Tina Bender, Anne Allen and

asked about "the
in Winship", one
sophomore said, "There's nothing
funny to say about that; it's kind
of crazy, but you can't be funny
about that night. Everybody still
remembers too well. We all still
wake up in the middle of the
night and check our doors. We all
still have a scary feeling."

"I was brought up in a home
where we didn't lock our door at
night, but I do now So many
people are simply not living here
next year because of that."

Another sophomore has
talked with detectives about
events in Winship: "The
detectives are real nice and really
trying to do something. They
come out here about once a week
bringing pictures for us to look
at. They've been here plenty of
times."

"The situation here is a lot
better than it was, but still could
be better. We all lock our doors
every single night and still get
nervous. I wake up in the middle
of the night often when I think I
hear something. But whenever
we're uneasy, Miss Murphy calls
the police to check the dorm.
Several girls have tear gas guns

College Business Manager P. J.
Rogers has been dealing with a
lot of nervous students lately. He
advises that if a man breaks into
one of the dormitories, the
student who discovers him should
first call the Decatur police at
377-791 1 or 377-3855; then she
should call the Scott security
policeman at ext. 212. Finally,
she should lock herself m her
room, checking to be sure there is
no one else in there.

Mr. Rogers stated that Agnes
Scott has two kinds of security
problems: day problems and
night problems. These problems
center on two things. One is the
lack of cooperation on the
student's part, although she
probably doesn't realize it; the
other is the lack of a good
security communication system.

There are four areas of
student neglect according to Mr.
Rogers: Doors are frequently
propped open, students wander
around the campus after late time
limit, students leave blinds and
shades open and students
sunbathe in view of streets.
Because of the transistory state
of the area surrounding the
campus, ail of these practices are
dangerous, either directly or
indirectly.

When a student leaves a door
propped open, anyone has easy
access to the dorm. Night
watchmen make a complete
check of the campus every 45
minutes, but they cannot watch
all the doors all the time. Mr.
Rogers commented, "Don't put
the lives or safety of a number of
persons in jeopardy for the
convenience of a few."

Campus policemen have
difficulty telling friend from foe
when girls wander over the
campus in coats after LTL. The
men don't want to scare or hurt
students but they want to stop all
unauthorized people who are on
campus after late time limit.

Mr. Rogers went on to say
that peeping toms are encouraged

when blinds and shades are left
open and when girls sunbathe in
the sight of the streets
surrounding the campus. He
suggested that girls might
sunbathe in more safety on the
porches of Rebekah and Inman.

In regard to new safety
precautions on campus this year,
Mr. Rogers said " The college is in
the process of completing its
plans to install security alarm
systems on each entry way into
each building on campus." A
re evaluation of the
communication system is also in
progress.

Mr. Rogers stressed the fact
that if a girl is confronted by an
intruder, she should not panic.
She should look for identifying
marks such as scars, a limp or a
lisp. If she should have to defend
herself, she should scratch for his
eyes and in all probability he will
run. He also suggested that an
aerosol can of hair spray is a good
defense mechanism; it will blind a
person for 30 minutes.

A campus policeman
interviewed added his suggestions
to girls for their protection. He
commented that a girl should
scream to scare an attacker off.
He said that if a girl sees or smells
anything unusual, she should
report it. He also added that "a
policeman should get help from
any civilian around." He said that
a girl called the fire department
for him several years ago.

This particular policeman has
been with Agnes Scott for 1 1
years in June and prior to this
was a security man for a private
company and a staff sergeant in
the Army military police where
he received a recommendation
for excellent character. He was
referred to Agnes Scott by the
Decatur police department.

When asked if there were any
problems with his job, he said
that there were note and that his
family was satisfied. About the
job he said, "If I couldn't get
along, I'd be long gone."

Crum Talks to Transfers
Past, Present and Future

Why do students transfer trom
Agnes Scott? According to
students who have transferred
and ones who are planning to
transfer, the reasons are both
academic and social.

Approximately twenty
students, both sophomores and
juniors, who had transferred at
the end of last school year were
sent questionnaires asking why
they had transferred and if they
were happy in their new school.
Only three girls answered the
questionnaire: Nancy Still, 1969,
University of North Carolina;
Jane Morgan, 1969, University of
Indiana; and Shelby Dodds,
1970, Rice University.

Nancy Still wrote that she
'transferred from Scott for
academic and social reasons. Each
school and university seems to
see things in a slightly different
perspective, and I think it's
important to view and study
these different views." Jane also
transferred for social and
academic reasons.

Shelby, however, came here
with the idea of transferring. She
wanted the experience of
attending a girls' school and of
attending more than one school.
She said, "I wasn't really
academically dissatisfied; I
guess-though 1 didn't really
admit it at the time-I was
socially dissatisfied.

To the question, "Are you
satisfied where you are?", they
all answered that they were
completely satisfied and happy.
Shelby added, "But part of the
reason 1 am so satisfied is that I
realize now that no place is
perfect-1 mean, if I had come to
Rice as a freshman, I would have
always suspected that the things I
don't like about Rice were
uniquely infuriating! I see now
that isn't so."

The "hang-loose,"
unpressured academic attitude
provided a welcome change for
Nancy, Jane and Shelby.

Nancv found the semester
system and the male point of
view adds to the enjoyment of
studying. "A semester system
gives you more time to enjoy
lectures and plays, which are very
numerous. 1 also enjoy having the
male point of view in my classes; I
think that helps to account for
the relaxed atmosphere not only
in the classroom, but over all the
campus."

Shelby said that the quality of
teaching is very inconsistent at
Rice, as is the level of difficulty
in course work. However, "in the
matter of exams, Rice has it all
over Scott; we can, for the most
part, schedule our own-and we
have a 5 day reading period
before exams."

The last question asked was
"What one thing did you find
most annoying about Scott?"
The thing that annoyed Jane
most was ''hypocritical
Christianity." "Perhaps this could
be enlarged into the limiting,
narrow, confining atmosphere

by ELIZABETH CRUM
Copy Editor

that exists over Scott. It's hard to
discuss it, but it's even more
noticeable when you get out and
come back."

Juniors Catherine Auman,
who transferred to UNC last year,
but came back to Scott this
spring quarter, and Martha
Cooper, who transferred to
Emory at the end of last year,
but is coming back next year,
were interviewed to find out why
they transferred, and why they
are coming back.

In an interview Catherine said
that she had transferred for the
experience. Catherine enjoyed
the big university atmosphere,
but she missed the atmosphere of
the big city. She also missed her
friends and the community
relationship here at Scott.

Martha Cooper, who is still at
Emory, but coming back, said
that she really left because she
wanted a change.

Martha suggested that Scott is
more academically oriented and
turns out the whole academic
woman, whereas larger schools
produce the whole
woman-scholastically, socially,
spiritually and culturally.

These girls who have
transferred seem to be trying to
get away from academic pressure
and the "in loco parentis"

a complex personality
spectrum-not just the small
homogenized Scott picture.

She went on to say that
"academics is not why I am
leaving; that would be one reason
why I would stay." However, she
thinks that there is so much
"busy work" that it stifles any
intellectual inspiration one might
have.

WITH NEW RULE, TWO SOPHS STUDY IN LIBRARY IN SLACKS

How Many Of Their Class Will Transfer Next Year?

Frosh Answer Questions
On Politics, Religion, Sex

In order to follow up last
week's article about the results of
the PROFILE Poll an almost
identical test was distributed last
week to this year's freshman
class. We were primarily
interested in comparing the
answers pertaining to sex, in
order to see if there were any
significant difference between
this year's freshmen and last
year's student body. In addition
to this, we tabulated the results
to several other questions
pertaining to personal ideas and
habits and these results are
included in the article below.

From a class of approximately
215, 94 questionnaires were
returned. See the accompanying
chart for a comparison of the

attitude into a more responsible freshman poll with the poll of the
and freer position as an individual 1966-67 student body,
student. Judging from the comparison

A number of girls from the of these results, the freshmen are
rising sophomore and junior having more sex (note the 1 4% as
classes are transfering from Scott compared to 10.3%) but seem to

at the end of this year. Their
reasons were similar to those of
the girls who had already
transferred. But, these girls
presented some new ideas.

One sophomore who is
transfering to a large state
university said, "I feel like I have
to apologize for going here." Her
statement was in reference to the
self-centered Scott atmosphere.
"I respect and enjoy the close
friendships formed here, but it is
bad because we take advantage of
these friendships."

Another reason she is
transfering is to get out of the
South. She feels that the size and
location of the university present

be enjoying it less (since a greater
percentage answered that they
felt pre-marital sex was wrong
and since fewer are taking

by COLLEEN NUGENT
Feature Editor

advantage of contraceptives).
Overall, the freshmen seem to be
taking a slightly more liberal
attitude toward virginity than last
year's student body, since more
of them expect to lose their
virginity before marriage and
fewer expect to marry virgins.

Five additional questions were
included in the tabulation. To the
first, "Do you consider yourself
liberal, moderate, or
conservative?" 23.4% answered
"liberal," 60.6% "moderate" and
14.9% "conservative." The
second question, "Do you
smoke?" had 28.8% "yes"
answers and 71.2% "no" answers.
"Have you ever violated school
regulations pertaining to
drinking?" drew a surprising
percentage of "yes" answers. The
results were 44.5% "yes," 54.4%
"no" and 1.1% with no answer.

In a group of several questions
about drugs, one was chosen to
tabulate. This was, "Have you
smoked marijuana?" The "yes"
answers here totaled 5.3% and

the "no" answers 94.7%.

In another group of questions
relating to religion we recorded
the answers to "Do you feel
Christianity is a vital force in
your life?" These answers were
76.5% "yes," 20.3% "no," 3.2%
undecided.

Another question was added
for the sake of interest but with
the realization that the answers
might be difficult to evaluate.
"Do you either participate in or
have knowledge of homosexual
activity on this campus?" drew 4
"yes" answers and 89 "no"
answers which means 4.3%
answered "yes" and 95.7%
answered "no." It is inadvisable
to draw any conclusions from
these results since we cannot
know whether the "yes" answers
refer to one separate case of
homosexuality or four.

Probably the only above result
which requires a comment is the
one referring to drinking. Since
almost half of the freshmen
answer that they are breaking the
drinking policy, it seems safe to
conclude that a large number of
the rest of the student body is

doing the same. Unfortunately,

A Medical Answer For
MUSCULAR

Low Back Pain

Promptly Relieves Pain
So Stiff Muscles Loosen Up and
You're Back Into Action

DOCTORS who specialize in back troubles report most
aching backs are due to weak, tense muscles
which can go into painful spasm as you suddenly
bend, stretch or twist. To relieve such backache doc-
tors recommend the pain-relief compound in Anacin*
Analgesic Tablets. And Anacin gives you more of this
medication than any other leading tablet.

Anacin is a special fortified formula. It promptly
relieves pain, helps reduce swollen tissues, and so re-
leases pressure on sensitive back nerves. Then notice
how stiff muscles loosen up and you move around with
greater ease.

Only Anacin has this special fortified
formula. It's not found in any other prod-
uct. See if Anacin's exclusive formula
doesn't work better for you.

grew out of a feeling that
representation on the board was
not equal, that there was too
much "senior weight."

Beginning with the 1969-70
board, the orientation chairman
will not be a voting member
although she will be an advisory
one. When RC-55 came up for

orientation chairman to be taken

orientation chairman should be

behind not making her an

could come to meetings at any

board should be further reduced.
The question came to a vote after
Libby Potter made a motion that
the orientation chairman be made
an advisory member. The vote
was 17 to 11 in favor of the
motion.

The second section of the
resolution removed house

SAGA Leaves Scott;
Have Hired Dietician

The rumor that SAGA Food Service will not return to Agnes

has been reached by mutual agreement, and all parties involved
emphasized the fact that there have been no real problems or friction.
Agnes Scott will have a dietician in charge of the entire food service
next year.

organization for her. Mrs.
Saunders received her B.S. from
Texas Woman's College and did
her intern work at Charlotte
Memorial Hospital, Charlotte,
North Carolina. She has done
graduate work at Oklahoma
College for Women, a unit of the
University of Oklahoma. She has
been connected with Emory
University, and for the past eight
years has been connected with
the food service of an Atlanta
bank. She comes very highly
recommended.

The major reasons for the
change are economic ones. P. J.
Rogers, college business manager,
stated that in view of overall
rising costs resulting from
inflation, the forecast of expenses
for the food service predicted a
ten per cent increase in operating
expenses for next year.

In view of the fact that the
college has not increased room
and board fees in the last eight
years and does not wish to do so
now, and in consideration of
problems with maintenance and
equipment that have occurred
during the last three years, the
college feels that the more
practical and economical thing to
do is to run its own food service.
Mr. Lind, who is in charge of the
SAGA food service here,
underscored the business motives
behind the decision by saying
that SAGA would have to have
more money to stay here.

The college has secured the
services of Barbara F. Saunders as
head dietician and is in the
process of building an

of

president and will work to make
house presidents council a more
autonomous board.

With the removal of a number
of seniors from the board, the
third provision of the resolution
provided for four senior and four
junior class representatives to the
board in addition to the class
president. In the future seniors
interested in working on Rep
Council will be able to run for a
representative position on the
board, rather than running for
some other job which also has a
position on Rep Council.

The last section of . the
resolution concerns the voting
power of the editor of the
PROF ILK. Beginning after
elections in the spring of 1969,
the editor of the PROFILE will
be an advisory member of Rep
Council and will not have a vote.

RC-55 must still be passed by
the student body; it will come
before the student body for a
vote at student government
convocation on May 29.

Glee Club
In Concert
Tonight

The Agnes Scott Glee Club
will present its final concert of
the year at 8:15 in Gaines
auditorium.

Under the direction of
Theodore K. Mathews, assistant
professor of music, the Glee Club
has performed at various Decatur
churches this year and has
recently given joint concerts with
the University of Georgia Men's
Glee Club both at Scott and in
Athens. Plans have also been
made for a Glee Club banquet to
be held Friday at 5:30.

This concert promises to be an
enjoyable one with works ranging
from the oldest known
harmonized music still popular in
performance, "Sumer is incumen
in," to tweentieth century works
by Aaron Copland, Norman Dello
Joio and Edward Chapman.

Concentrating on music
before 1750 and after 1926, the
Glee Club will sing madrigals by
Gibbons, Weclkes and Morley, a
motet by Vittoria and a religious
piece by Bach. One of the
highlights of the program will be

Challenge Ignored

"The Naked Ape" by Desmond Morris. New York. McGraw-Hill
Book Co. 1967. 241pp.

In keeping with the direction and emphasis of this edition of THE
PROFILE, I would like to use this column to talk about a relatively
new book that I read and chuckled over during spring holidays. It is
now making the rounds on first Hopkins, so if anyone is interested in
it, she can get an opinion on it other than mine.

Did you ever wonder why man has ear lobes? Did you ever feel
the need for some interesting tidbits to use in cocktail party
conversation? The book has been written for you; it is "The Naked
Ape" by Desmond Morris.

Mr. Morris has written a zoological study of man as related to his
simian ancestors, of man as a naked ape. The book is about 250 pages
of pop-science and juicy facts which are entertaining and if
remembered, could make fine cocktail party conversation for the
whole summer.

The author's excuse for writing his book is an uplifting one; he
claims that although the naked ape is a progressive and complex
animal, he is still bound by his old animal. patterns of hundreds of
years ago and that he could be more fulfilled and less worried if he
would only recognize the dominance of his past.

Mr. Morris continues throughout the book to make interesting

When we held campus elections about seven weeks ago,
we had a definite choice between candidates for president
of student government. We elected the candidate who
stood for interna] reform with the idea that we cannot do
anything else anywhere until we have straightened out the
mess right here at home.

The other candidate presented the college community
with a challenge that has not been heard very loudly, if at
all, around here for a long time. She challenged us to turn
outward and find out that there is a world out there besides
our one block campus across the railroad tracks in Decatur,
Georgia.

We did not elect her, but nevertheless, she made some of

Negro Housing Studied

O by ELIZABETH CRUM "

by

SWEET BRIAR NEWS, Sweet Briar
College: A group of Sweet Briar students
inspired by members of the Committee for
Understanding Racial Attitudes from Union
Theological Seminary investigated the problem
of segregation in approved housing in
Charlottesville and Lexington. They found
strong evidence of racial discrimination in both
areas.

As a result of the findings they presented a
statement to the C ollege Council requesting on
the part of the college "immediate and
constructive action to eliminate this
discrimination."

Dean Jester expressed regret that the
incidents of discrimination mentioned in the
report, if true, were not reported to her. The
Council itself agreed to table the report until
further information could be brought up and
the group sponsoring the petition had conferred
with the dean of students.

THE WELLESLEYNEWS, WcUesley
College: The President of Wellesley C ollege and
fcthos. the Wellesley College black student
organization have recently issued a joint
statement which calls for six major lines of
action.

1 . The college will enroll 20 additional
Negro students for the class of 1972 and will
hire four new staff members to search for these
qualified students. Three of these jobs will be
summer ones for black undergraduates who
will visit appropriate secondary schools; the
fourth will be a permanent staff member
whose job will be to recruit students from
minority groups.

2. A search is already under way for a
Negro "head of house. M

3. The existing postgraduate fellowship
program for black students will be reevaluated

4. A memorial fund has been created in the
name of Martin Luther King, Jr. which will be
used to bring to campus "black guest speakers,
lectures cultural programs, supporting materials
relating to black concerns and interests, and
other activities which would honor Dr. King
and enrich the campus.' 1

5. The faculty members are urged to use
black faculty members and visiting speakers
and lecturers in their departments and also to
include information on black contributions to
their field in their syllabi.

6. A committee for implementing these
courses of action has been created.

At its meeting on May 7,
Representative Council brought
up four RCs and of these passed
three of them. Tina Bender
reported from Reorganization
Committee on the reorganization
of Rep Council and the council
briefly discussed this.

The resolution regarding
smoking in the lower dining hall
was passed by Rep Council and
went to the Administrative
Committee for approval. In the
recent poll concerning smoking in
the LDH, 79 per cent of the
campus was either completely in
favor of or indifferent to smoking
in the LDH during meal hours.

Rep Council passed a
resolution from Re-0 regarding
election procedure. By this
change two lists will be posted
after secret scratching; one list
will contain the names of all
those nominated both by
nominating committee and
popularly before scratching, and
the other will be a final list
containing the nominations as
they will appear on the ballot.

The purpose of this is to aid
intelligent voting by allowing the
student body to know the
nominations declined as well as
those the individual is seeking.

The third resolution passed
removed cottage presidents as
advisory members of Rep
Council. The reason for this
change is that House Council
furnishes an effective channel of
communication. Also the cottage
presidents are not elected until
the fall and are not elected by the
student body.

The last resolution concerning
changes in the constitution of
Social Council was tabled. It will
be sent back to an interboard
committee for rewording.

The last meeting of this year's
Representative Council was held
this week.

A questionnaire made up of
suggestions about improvements
in ASC life was given out
Wednesday, May 22. This is to
give the student body a chance to
express their opinions on the
basic rules and policies of the
school. It was formulated by
Mary Gillespie and a committee
from suggestions from the board.

Rep Council will play a new
^role in orientation this year. The
board will sponsor a Hub party
on Thursday night, September 19
for all freshmen who have
arrived. During orientation there
will be a specific Rep Council
meeting which it is hoped, all
freshmen will attend.

Tina Brownley announced
that it is possible that there will
be no weekly student government
chapels next year. There will
probably be one held the last
Wednesday chapel period in each
quarter to pass all resolutions that
require a quorum.

THE PROFILI wishes
to announce that it will
not publish a graduation
edition of the paper as
previously planned. A
special orientation issue of
the paper to appear next
fall on the day freshmen
arrive on campus will be
substituted for this
spring's graduation issue.

Reynolds Price Gives

Staff Writer

Last week Junior Patsy May had the privilege of interviewing
Reynolds Price, author of the 1966 orientation book "A Generous
Man". Having chosen Mr. Price to write her paper on for B. W. Ball's
American literature course, Patsy was unable to find sufficient
material about him in the library. So she decided to talk to him in

Classic Films
Presented
At Towne

W. C. Fields is the feature
actor in the current movies at the
Towne Cinema in Avondale
Estates.

Achieving greatest popularity
in the 1930's and 1940's as an
American movie comedian. Fields
manages always to keep the
situation lively with his masterful
mimicry and caustic wit. Having a
voice like a grater and a nose like
a bulb, he plays the part of the
confidence man par excellence.
This characterization is
particularly vivid in "The Bank
Dick" and "My Little
Chickadee."

The focal point for this
theatre is humor. As one of the
owners so succinctly commented
recently, "For sex and violence
go somewhere else; but for fun,
come to the Towne." His movies
live up to this reputation, for the
emphasis is on presenting the
classic comedies that are
perennially entertaining.

The Madwoman of Chaillot"
is a delightful, fanciful show by
Jean Giraudoux that occurs "A
little before noon in the spring of
next year." It concerns a plot by
the businessmen of the world to
destroy Paris for the oil
underneath it. The plot is foiled
in the second act by the
Madwoman of Chaillot and her
three other mad accomplices.

The first act occurs outside a
sidewalk cafe where the
businessmen sit plotting the
destruction of the city. This act
tends to move slowly in any
performance but was hampered
in the Blackfriars show by two
very apparent and different levels
of acting.

The superior level was
established by Coe Hamling of
Theatre Atlanta who played the
President. He was beautifully
pompous as he postured, puffed
on his cigar and talked higher
finance; his physical life was
probably the best in the play.

Irma and him provided a nice
piece of visual lyricism for the
play.

Then there was the less
pleasing level of acting in the
play; this level was consistently
defined by untrained southern
accents and a diminished tension
and tone in the approach to lines
and parts.

Pierre, the romantic lead
played by Bill dribble, was a nice
looking boy of the sort found in
wholesome fraternity houses on
American college campuses, but
he could not sustain the tension
needed to carry out his two
scenes with Cathi Ford. These
two scenes, one in each of the
two acts, are the most gentle in
the play and BUI Cribble's accent
and approach made them almost
ludicrous.

About my only complaint
with the second act was that the
countess Aurelia's feather boa

seemed to be enjoying his part
and communicated his zest to the
audience.

Some of the smaller parts in
the act were also amazingly good.
Joann Spencer as the Shoelace

sustained it throughout the time
she was on stage. The little

Chaillot home. It was perhaps,
one of the best sets that I have
ever seen Blackfriars do with its
high walls like the stone walls of
the cellar contrasted by the
romantic pink curtained alcove
for the Countess Aurelia's bed.

The highlight of the act was
the scene in which Countess
Aurelia reveals to her three mad
friends the plot to destroy the
city and her counterplot to stop

"Symbolism" the roof shook. Mr.
Price does not believe in
symbolism.

As related by Patsy, Mr. Price
called Eliot, Joyce and Pount
"minor writers" and said it was
their fault that symbolism was
considered so much in English
classes. He said that anybody
could make anything a symbol.

Patsy continued hopefully in
another vein. Mr. Ball had
suggested a connection between
sex and religion. To this Mr. Price
replied, "Non-existant." Oh well.

SCOTTIES AND FRIENDS MEET NEW PEOPLE AT PIEDMONT ART FESTIVAL.
The Festival Closes Today at Piedmont Park.

Hungary is Site for Filming
Malamud's 'The Fixer 9

Of

(CPS) - - When
Metro-Gold wyn-Mayor chose
Budapest as the location for
filming their production of
Bernard Malamud's novel The
Fixer, they could predict that
they would save about a million
dollars over filming the picture in
Hollywood. But nobody knew
what sort of problems they
would encounter in dealing with
the socialist bureaucracy.
Suspicisns ran high in the
beginning. According to most
reports, initial negotiations
bogged down at several points
until producer Edward Lewis
persuaded the Hungarians to
guarantee free entrance and
egress for M-G-M workers and a
minimum of red tape at border
check points.

Both the official Hungarian
film organization Hungarofilm
and M-G-M paid lip service to the
goal of "advancing cultural
understanding" but there is little
evidence of such an exchange
taking place on a professional
level. M-G-M employed about 15
Hungarian film technicians in
professional positions ranging
from production and unit
managers to choreographer and
hairdressers as well as hundreds
of laborers and extras.

One highly placed Hungarian
film technician, himself a
director, summed up what he got
out of working with director
John Frankenheimer: "I speak
better Fnglish now, and Vm a
little richer but Frankenheimer
hasn't taught me anthing I can
use. I'll be making films here in
Hungary and his techniques have
no relevance for me. Other than
their large budgets, I have little
interest in the American way of
film-making. Technically what
you people produce is perhaps
the best in the world, but almost
all American films-including this
one-are artistically out of date."

On a typical day of shooting
at M-G-M's The Fixer production,
you will find John
Frankenheimer sitting in his
leather director's chair. He will
seem to have little connection
with the frantic activity going on
around him, although a constant
stream of his staff come to him
for decisions about a particular
camera angle or which objective
to use for a particular shot. "The
biggest problems connected with
this film were in the casting." he
said. "Once 1 had the right actors,
the rest is simply getting them to
do the part the way 1 want them
to, which isn't at all hard if
they're the right people in the
first place."

I'm using many Fnglish
actors." said Frankenheimer.
"because of the problem of
accents. It's hard enough to do a
film where everyone is supposed
to be speaking a foreign language,
but with American actors and
their nasal twang it's entirely

unbelievable."

The screenwriter Dalton
Trumbo is in this picture the
other important architect. He is
faced not only with transferring
Bernard Malumud's novel into a
different medium but also with
the day-to-day revisions on the
set, changing, polishing and
enlarging the script as the filming
proceeds.

Trumbo is one of Hollywood's
most prolific writers, although
many of his achievements he
doesn't talk about since they
were written under pseudonyms
during the bleak years of his
ostracism. Trumbo was one of
the "unfriendly ten," the group
of Hollywood writers blacklisted
in 1947 after their appearance
before the witch hunters of the
House Un American Activities
Committee.

For Trumbo the major

send Malamud my first draft and
he helped me avoid several major
errors by pointing out why I
should include some incidents
which I had left out."

And how does Trumbo think
the film will stack up against the
bestselling novel? "The object of
a screenwriter is not to be as
good as the novel, but to be
better than the novel. If you
can't improve on your source
there's no point in doing it.

In a move that is somewhat
unusual for a director,
Frankenheimer asked Trumbo to
come to Budapest to be present
at the filming of The Fixer;
usually a scriptwriter has to leave
his work to the mercy of the
director. "But this way," said
Trumbo, "sometimes I can see an
actor struggling with a line when
it's only the word that is
troubling him. Every screenwriter
slips occasionally and writes a
line which may read all right but
is impossible to speak. If you're
on the set you can usually help
the actor find another way of
putting it."

Has he talked with Malamud
about the film version? "We have
a very interesting
correspondence," smiled
Trumbo, "not always in
agreement, but very cordial. I

can be done?" Moreover, as part
of its strong structure, the book
included a concise,
chapter-by-chapter outline,
enabling the average reader to
grasp the gist of otherwise
tediously technical sections.

The accounts are strictly
informative, with no overt appeal
to the emotions, yet a response is
built within the reader as he
progresses through starkly
reported fact upon fact, in such
passages as this one, dealing with
the Newark riot of July, 1967:

"At 1 1 p.m. on Sunday, July
16, Mrs. Lucille Pugh looked out
of her window to see if the
streets were clear. She then asked
her II -year-old son, Michael, to
take the garbage out. As he
reached the street and was
illuminated by a streetlight, a
shot rang out. He died."

There is an honest attempt
through the accounts of major
riots and the summaries of the
disorders' backgrounds to present
an unbiased and accurately
detailed analysis of the total
situation beneath the violent
explosions in American cities.

In its examination of, and

problem it provides a much
needed insight into the most
important issue in the United
States today, that of the
condition and future of a
population combining two major,
and at the present time widely
separated and mutually hostile,
races.

you like and what you don't like,

Theatre Review

' Soldier' Is Contradictory Play

Theater Atlanta's newest
presentation, 'The Unknown
Soldier and His Wife," is full of
contradictions. Peter Ustinov's
germinal idea of using a historical
progression of vignettes to
demonstrate his anti-war theme,
seems quite good at first. But the
audience soon tires of the
repetition in each vignette that is
necessary to the unity of the play
but unnecessary to the working
out of the theme.

Mr. Ustinov's script varies
from good thought-packed
dialogue to inanities that must
embarrass the actors who have to
utter them. The acting itself
ranged from good performances
in most of the major parts to
other roles considerably less well
covered.

The plot is of necessity
simple: boy meets girl five
different times in history; four
times he falls victim to war
leaving her pregnant. In the fifth
and last reincarnation, everything
is resolved.

The other major roles are
those of the Rebel, the General
and the Archbishop, Ustinov
manipulates them to show the
changing role of art, government
and religion in five societies
(Imperial Rome, Medieval
Europe, Puritan America and
World War I England.)

Ustinov very capably points
up the interrelations between
these three segments of his
societies, and the effect of each
one upon the unknown soldier. A
fourth segment, science is
represented by an inventor, at
first a bit-part comic figure who
ultimately grows to dominate the
other three.

I was particularly impressed
by the acting of Clarence Felder
as the Rebel and Jim Garner as
the Archbishop. Each filled his
own role quite well, but when
their stage characters interacted,
the result was an exciting duet of
word and will.

Since the stage is completely
bare of scenery, the artful use of
lights, props and costuming is a
necessity to the play's success.
Lighting and special effects are
consequently well-done. The use
of light and sound in the last act
to portray World War I is
especially effective. Costuming,
like the props, is simple and

serves only to suggest the date of

the scene.

Songs are included with each
segment. They are all cute and

witty, but the players seem to

need more practice to polish

them up.

For all the cute and superficial
qualities of "Unknown Soldier,"
it succeeds through good acting
in the key roles and through the
strong appeal of its theme. It is
too bad that its structure holds it
back.

Thurs. Metamorphosis
Is Fact of ASC Life

by JAN ROUSH
Staff Writer

Who is that? Maybe we should wear name tags on the weekends,
for Agnes Scott's residents undergo quite a metamorphosis sometime

during Thursday night.

The fashion for the weekday
Scottie usually consists of
make-up by Nature, hair-do by
the shower and clothing by a
combination of Casual Corner,
Rich's and the Army Store. Due
to the recent monsoon season,
the soles of most loafers and
especially, Pappagallos have been
temporarily disconnected from
the rest of the shoe.

Thanks to the passage of the
new dress policy, shorts, slacks
and levis have become more
popular than ever. Jerseys and
chambray work shirts complete
these outfits. Work shirts can be
embroidered, raveled, painted or
monogramed to add a touch of
the individual's personality.

The monogramming trend is
extremely popular this year, with
initials wound together on pins,
earrings, collars, pockets, dress
fronts, shoes, sweaters, raincoats,
towels, headbands and straw
pocketbooks. It has been
rumored that this fashion was
initiated by the Dean's Office in
an effort to stop elopements. In
short, dress for the week is
comfortable, casual and in the
natural state.

On the weekends make-up is
used to accent this natural look

by adding a glow to cheeks and
giving eyes to faces. Hair gets
washed and rolled as The

Question arises "What can I
wear?"

The weekend Reconstruction
Era is over Sunday night, and by
Monday morning the typical
Scottie is seen running across the
quad at 8:29 in her study outfit
and pigtails.

Bike-Opoly Suggested
As Cure For Exams

by JO LIGIITNLSR
Staff Writer

Scot ties, do you foci depressed and tired from those long hours in
the library? Are your fingertips flat from typing an endless number of
research papers? It could be you are suffering from Finals Fatigue.

There is now an effective way
to combat this dread disease so
prevalent on college campuses at
the end of the spring quarter:
Bike-opoly. Designed with you in
mind, this game is guaranteed to
tire your body to match your
brain, making you a well-rounded
person.

The object of the game is to
set your picnic basket on every
available spot in the Decatur area,
collecting more chiggers than
your companions (don't forget
the chaperon age policy).
Transportation must be by
bicycles, which are supplied tor
this purpose by Athletic
Association.

After picking your favorite of
many bikes, players decide on
their destination. This may be
accomplished by several methods,
including drawing Destination
Cards from the game files and
simply heading in some direction
until a suitable spot is discovered.

One of the closest picnic areas
in the vicinity is a small park
complete with stream, picnic
tables and bridges. Ride out
Candler and turn left on a curvey,
up-hill road to reach this
picturesque site (hazy directions
are also part of the game)
Two hills and left out
MacDonough is an unofficial park
with appeal around the clock, as
noted by observers returning
early from dates on Saturday
nights.

For the more ambitious a trip
to Stone Mountain is advised.
Cars are allowed in this ease feu
transporting girls to the gate,
where they rent bicycles for a
luxurious day of pedalling around
the mountainous terrain.

Shopping may be combined
with the game in a journey to
Belvedere shopping center. The
administration building of
Columbia Seminary becomes the
alternate destination in case of
rain or other acts of God.

Adventurers may go to the
Hmory library if they are willing
to risk having to walk back to
Scott with slashed tires. This trip
has advantages, too: the itinerary
includes a rest stop at
Baskin-Robbins, famous for its
daquiri ice cream.

Individual pioneering will
produce many other delightful
sites, such as dead-end streets
that lead to back yards or good
climbing trees overhanging the
road.

Helpful hints, offered by the
volunteers who aided in the
development of Bike-opoly,
include warnings to consult the
weatherman before venturing too
far from shelter and to keep an
eye on the bike while enjoying
the picnic lunch.

All students are able to enjoy
this game: even if you are
campused you can still ride
around the Quad

Editor's note: The following
article is based on a College Press
Service release and interviews
with Negro student Edna Lowe
and Registrar Laura Steele.

"Although black college
campuses have become the center
of the black power movement,
the predominately white
campuses in the South are
producing their share of black
militants.

"In fact, some black students
are predicting that many of the
future leaders of the black power

Sowell Announces 1968
Orientation Dates and Plans

Orientation plans for fall 1968
include several changes in
schedule from previous years and
new methods of registration, rush
preparation and study orientation
to expedite the first several days
of orientation, according to
Nancy Sowell, chairman of
orientation.

Freshmen must be on campus
by 9:30 a.m., September 20, to
register. All the freshmen will
register at one time this year
instead of in small groups.
Consequently, because most
freshmen will arrive on campus
Thursday, there will be a Flub
party that night. Also, Friday
morning there will be an
orientation for parents during the
registration period led by Wallace
M. Alston, C. Benton Kline and
Carrie S. Scandrett. An open
house in Winship will follow this.

Friday night the freshmen will
be introduced to rush week at
Georgia Tech by the president of
intrafraternity council, rush
chairmen, and the A.S.C.
chairman, Carol Blessing. After
this introduction, the freshmen
will sign up for rush parties to be
held Saturday night.

Saturday morning Dr. Alston
will speak to freshmen,

'MADWOMAN'

(CONT. FROM P. 3)

She was dressed severely in black
and red which emphasized her
tall spare figure.

The costuming on the whole
was excellent. Cathi Ford
appeared in the first act in fluffy,
fussy pink which suggested her
slight degree of mental unbalance
and also her optimistic and
pleasant outlook on life. The
other madwomen were equally
well costumed. Carol Ann
McKenzie wore a huge feathered
hat which bobbed to her

advantage as she sat, stood and
swooped in her part. Paula Swann
looked wonderfully dumpy in her
lavender gown and white
high topped shoes; her hat with its
turned back brim and roses on
either side of her head at her ears
underscored the innocense of her-
character.

An unexpected and delightful
addition to the show was the
dance performed by the
madwomen just before their exit
near the end of the second act. It
was quite charming to see the
four old ladies lift their skirts and
dance delicately. Blackfriars
could not have chosen a more
amusing way to end their show
for the college audience. Not
only did the "Walk-ins" from the
faculty and staff answer their
cronic need for male extras they
spiced up the end for students.

They claim this new trend is
inevitable unless white students
and administrators establish a far
different atmosphere for black
students.

"Presently, black students on
white campuses face endless
examples of discrimination, and
many are subscribing to the
theory that white racism is a fact
of life and nothing can be done
about it. If blacks and whites
cannot live together in harmony
and without prejudice in an
academic community, these
students say, then there is little
hope that black people will ever
achieve equality in the 'real
world.'

"When Negro students were
first admitted to white colleges
and universities in the South,
many thought they had achieved
a major victory in their fight for
equality. But the blacks have
found that the mere fact that
they are permitted to walk across
the campus and attend classes is
insignificant.

"In most cases, the blacks
simply have not been accepted,
and they are totally isolated from
the mainstream of campus life.
The general attitude of most
white students and administrators
seems to be, "We won't bother
you if you don't bother us."

"The result has been that
many black students who entered
white colleges and universities
with hopes of achieveing true
integration, at least temporarily,
are no longer striving to become a
part of the white culture. Instead,
they are turning their efforts to
activities which promote the
goals and concepts of the black
power movement."

"The administrations generally
have not even tried to open social
channels for Negroes. At
Alabama, black students can
attend the social activities at

Campus

in the South, says a number of
forces work to keep black
students off white campuses. He
mentions the black power
movement as a major reason, but
says a white campus "is a lonely
place' for Negro students. In
conjunction with this article
Edna Lowe, freshman Negro
student and Laura Steele,

director of admissions, were
interviewed. After reading the
CPS release, Edna answered
several questions. When asked
how she felt when she first came
here, Edna replied that it was
hard to tell whether people's
actions toward her were real or
forced. She said that most of the
upperclassmen were nice to her,
and to the majority of the
freshmen, she was just another
freshman.

Edna felt that there was truth
in the CPS release. She felt that
especially since the death of Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr., the
Negroes are more hostile to
whites, and many of them don't
want to go to white schools.

As far as being lonely, Edna
said that "I don't think it is any
more lonely than the student
makes it."

When asked how many Negro
students will enter Scott next
fall, Miss Steele replied, "I am
sure you realize that registration
for the next session is not yet
completed and never is really
stabilized until the end of June.
The situation at present is that
we have one Negro student
entering the freshman class in
September."

There were five Negro
applicants. Two were not
qualified, and three were
accepted. Miss Steele added that,
"Apparently financial aid was not
a determining factor. Miss Steele
went on to say that decisions are
made later for transfer students.
At present the registrar's office is
corresponding with a Negro
transfer student, but as yet, she
has not made formal application.

In conclusion Miss Steele said,
"We are registered with a national
organization for referral of Negro
applicants and our school visition
includes appointments in
predominantly Negro schools."

A Medical Answer For

Low Back Pain

Promptly Relieves Pain
So Stiff Muscles Loosen Up and
You're Back Into Action

DOCTORS who specialize in back troubles report most
aching backs are due to weak, tense muscles
which can go into painful spasm as you suddenly
bend, stretch or twist. To relieve such backache doc-
tors recommend the pain-relief compound in Anacin
Analgesic Tablets. And Anacin gives you more of this
medication than any other leading tablet.

Anacin is a special fortified formula. It promptly
relieves pain, helps reduce swollen tissues, and so re-
leases pressure on sensitive back nerves. Then notice
how stiff muscles loosen up and you move around with
greater ease.

Only Anacin has this special fortified
formula. It's not found in any other prod-
uct. See if Anacin's exclusive formula
doesn't work better for you.

Students, Faculty Evaluate
Interdepartmental Course

course s value to the students is
that it gives them an introduction
to a number of areas. It has
illustrated to them that in
studying a problem you must
approach it from a multitude of
disciplines.

From an administrative
viewpoint Miss Campbell
commented that there had been
some loose ends in the
organization of the course which
might be cleared up with more
planning.

Kenneth Whittemore, assistant
professor of sociology, has
delivered a lecture to the class on
cultural change.

He commented that "an
interdepartmental course' should
be one in the fullest sense, and
not simply rotate speakers from
different departments. The focus
should be on a problem, or
period, or region-and the unique
contribution of each discipline
should be brought to bear each
step of the way.

He sees the ideal goal of the
program "breaking down the
artificial barriers which separate
the various academic departments
and imparting knowledge
'wholistically ' rather than
'piecemeal' as we do not."

William Cornelius, associate
professor of political science, has
had a hand in the new course in
that he plotted the venture eight
years ago but received no support
for it at that time. His comments

Editors Note: The following
article was compiled by Colleen
Nugent, Beverly Walker and Kay
Parkerson. Il was written by Colleen
Nugent.

A new course being offered
this quarter is the
Interdepartmental Seminar on
Developing Nations. The class
meets three hours a week on
Wednesday night from 6:30 to
9:30.

The course deals with the
developing nations of Africa, Asia
and Latin America. The four
major instructors are Penelope
Campbell, David Forsythe,
Renate Thimester and Anna
Greene Smith. Other professors
also lecture in fields related to
the topics.

There are 19 students
participating in the seminar.
Fourteen are seniors and the
other five are juniors. All of the
students interviewed felt that the
basic idea of the course was very
good but there was also some
criticism.

Bronwyn Burks, a senior
majoring in history, said, The
course is very interesting, but a
lot of the material in our reading
is repetitous." When asked if she
thought the course was worht

v/hile she said, "Definitely yes.

Helen Stavros, a junior
majoring in sociology, finds the
course interesting because it
offers a lot of basic economics
and political science. Her major
criticism was on the discussions.
She said, "Most of them (the
discussions) are above my head.
The discussions on the whole
have not been on a level where
everyone could participate."

Susan Clarke who is majoring
in sociology also commented on
the discussions. She felt that the
class was too large to be really
conducive to good discussion.
She also felt that participating
was hard unless one had a good
background in history.

Concerning the work involved,
Susan said, "The reading really
isn't too much and of course, we
have no quizes or exam. The hard
part is the other 65 per cent of
the grade - the research paper."
She added, however, that this was
the "best part."

Some of the professors who
have contact with the course
were also asked to comment and
evaluate the program. Miss
Campbell, one of the major
instructors, had the following
opinion about the course: "The

College Forum Aims
At Urban Problems

Forum on May 7.

Agnes Scott was one of
eleven colleges called to meet
with the Urban League, and
Tar a Swartsel representing
Scott attended.

A second meeting of the
Forum was held May 14 and
another was scheduled for Mav
21.

Seven of the eleven colleges
contacted were represented at
the first meeting. The Forum
discussion centered around
current community issues with
questions directed to the
college representatives
concerning their respective
campus's position in relation to
community problems.

Examples of kinds of roles
students are now taking
included Georgia Tech's new
involvement in ghetto
activities, Emory's special
tutorial programs for the
disadvantaged and Morris
Brown's special program which
is providing aid to culturally
deprived families.

Discussion followed on how
students can become "action
oriented" and suggestions were
made as to how students can
overcome the apathetic
tendencies on campus.

The second meeting
centered around structure for
the Forum; Tara Swartsel and
Dea Taylor attended this
meeting. It was decided that
the Forum should initiate its
own programs as an entity
distinct from, but advised by,
other such organizations. It
was recognized that the
Atlanta League of Colleges
which is itself in a formative
stage at present could serve as
an important communication
link.

The colleges represented all
had committees of some kind
on their respective campuses

which served as a service group
or outreach contact; therefore,
it seemed advisable that the
Forum could serve as a central
contact point and advisory
body to those individual
campus service groups,
informing them of areas of
specific need in the larger
community.

who have been admitted are most
articulate students. They have
stimulated each other.

"I would like to see much
more of the interdepartmental
concept-- it is a way of tying
together one's education. It will
run into difficulties until faculty
time is allowed for it. And it will
have to gain complete acceptance

HOUSE COUNCIL

(CONT. FROM P. I)

The major change in the
organization of House Council is
the appointing of House Council
members this spring to serve next
year. This was necessitated by the
new dorm sign-out policy. The
process of selection of members,
almost completed now except for
Walters, involved petitions and
subsequent selection by House
Presidents' Council assisted by
judicial representatives and senior
residents.

Cottage presidents were also
chosen in this way. An attempt
was made to secure a
representative for each wing in
the dormitories. Polly feels that
the system worked well; in only a
few cases will she have to resort
to recruiting.

The members of House
Council that have been selected
for next year are: in Rebekah-
Prentice Fridy, president,
Caroline Turner, 2nd, Claudia
Hollen, 2nd, Rosie Wilson, 2nd,
Marylu Benton, 3rd, Kathy
Mueller, 3rd, Joetta Burkett, 3rd.

HAPPY HOLLY DAYS!

ONE YEAR

M:i\ 27

To earn your College Degree
you'll read 56,000 pages.

That's the number of pages in the textbooks
alone. In addition, you must read back ground
and reference materials, magazines and period-
icals. The problem is to find the time to read
everything you should.

How would you like to read an average length
book in two hours or less 0 Or an entire magazine
in 15 or 20 minutes? Just think: you could read
a Qoethe translation, a study of Rabelais's influ-
ence on the Church in France, a biography of
Lenin and an article on corporate economics a
whole week's reading assignments accomplished

in one afternoon in the school library.

Sound unbelievable? More than 300,000 people
can already read that fast. They learned how by
taking our Reading Dynamics course.

We've scheduled classes to l^egin soon. Attend
a 2 1 2 hour class once a week for eight weeks.
Learn to read faster and better and remember
what you've read! If you don't at least triple your
reading speed, we'll refund your money.

Our Reading Dynamics course could make it a
lot easier for you to earn your college degree.
. But don't take just our word for it . . .

Here's what two well-known Reading Dynamics graduates say!

A United States Senator: "In my opin-
ion, if these reading techniques were
instituted in the public and private,
schools of our country, it would be the
greatest single step we could take in
educational progress.''

A national business leader: "The money
I spent on Reading Dynamics, over
five years ago, is the finest business in-
vestment I have ever made. The course
helped me to accomplish more reading
during my business day."
