THE ROFILE VOLUME L1V, NUMBER 1 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 SEPTEMBER 22, I William M. Hannah Is New Treasurer BOO WINEY (R) GREETS FRESHMEN Carolyn Cox (C) and Judy Langford 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.

HANNAH Replaces Richard Bahr 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 (Cont. on P. 4) SEPTEMBER 22, 1967 PAGE 2 THE PR OFILE i^san Aikman Editor Sandra Earley Associate Editor Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are those of the majority of the editorial staff.

Why not 7 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? NEW CLOSING So much for these " Observations. "Get those entries in. , 0 a ; v ^ ^ by Susan Aikman 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 60,0U TH/9 VOUR V5RV FIR5T PAV OF SCHOOL TOR MCTH AMP I WAMT TO !56MlkJ7 OF A F60_TH|I06S.'

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 Decatur Cleaners & Hatters Campus pick up anil delivery through Senior dry cleaning representatives 2 locations corner Church & Sycamore 145 Sycamore Street by Sharon 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)".

CI* - A >MMpo;> e aas noA jj X :SH3MSNV SEPTEMBER 22, 1967 THE PROFILE Zollicoffer (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.

PAGE 4 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- ter's degree in languages at the University of Alabama. Her son, Louis, who was just 1 1 when he came to America, is now a freshman at the Univer- sity of the South in Tennessee. WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.

THE ROFMLE VOLUME LIV, NUMBER 2 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 SEPTEMBER 29, 1967 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, (Cont. on P. 3) 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.

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. (Terri Langston Cartoon) 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.

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 run through March. April is by Elizabeth Crum set aside for examinations which are all given at and in association with, the Univer- sity of Delhi. All ''freshers/' as the freshmen are called, take an exam in English. After that the exams are based on the sub- ject matter. A student must have attended 75% of her clas- ses to stand an exam. Miss Groseclose remarked that most of the girls wanted to get mar- ried and be homemakers and had no interest in a professional career. One thing that Miss Grose- close really missed was our honor system. She said that she did not fully appreciate the system without it. until she had to do WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.

A sociology major, Cathy found the natives very friendly and helpful. "I had to be care- ful, but I really encountered 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- astically advocated it. "Never go on a tour.

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. So if you must throw away your PROFILE, do it in your room and not in the big basket in the mailroom. Your hardworking staff members feel that they are in the trash with by Susan Aikman 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 (CONT. ON P. 4) 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. PAGE 3 THE PROFILE October 6,1967 'Chattahoochee' Sponsors Atlanta Poetry Reading A poetry reading, featuring eleven poets from the Atlanta area and sponsored by the Dra- ma Arts Book Shop and the "Chattahoochee," was held at Theatre AtlantaThursday even- ing, September 28. This was the third poetry reading of its kind in Atlanta, The first two in the spring and summer of 1967 were held in smaller buildings and the re- sponse last Thursday was en- couraging to the sponsors. The poets who read were Esta Seaton, of Georgia Tech's En- glish Department; Tarn Duffill, a popular local folk singer; Van K. Brock; Turner Cassity, a librarian at Emory Univer- sity; Larry Rubin; Findley Campbell of Morehouse Col- lege; Rosemary Daniell, poetry editor for the "Chattahoochee;" Robert Manns; Mary Ann Cole- by Louise Bruechert man; Jose Huertas-Jourda, who did some experimentation with strings of nouns associated by a stream of thought; and Eugene Moore of the Atlanta Journal, and editor of the "Chattahoo- chee." 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 of writing. Editor, Eugene Moore, says "we have no mis- sionary intentions of making Atlanta the literary capital of 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. TIME The longest word in the language?

These are 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 Fiction, Poetry, Art, Photogra- phy and the College Board Com- petition.

"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.

It was proposed that "the United Nations be convened im- mediately to consider the Viet- nam conflict." This proposal was defeated by the students in the radical groups; they felt that it was a step backward from the stand taken by NSA at the 19th Congress. The resolution that remained in effect declared U. S. policy in Vietnam "ill-advised." US- NSA stated that it believed "that an immediate and fundamental change in United States policy toward Vietnam is required.

Gregg Hamilton Lamar McCallie 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. Tuesday Afternoon a moral- ity play, "The Sacrifice of Isa- ac," v will be presented. The performance is to be followed by a discussion led by Miss 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."

Convocation Wednesday fea- tures of a 1966 graduate of 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.

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 (CONT.

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.

OCTOBER 27, 1967 THE PROFILE PAGE 4 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 SAT.

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 (C.DNT n\] d m Subscribe To The PROFILE Name Address Z ip Code Make check to: PROFILE Agnes Scott $3.50 Send To Kathy Blee Box 65 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 PAG_5 " THE PROFILE OCTOBER 27, 1967 OCTOBER 27, 1967 THE PROFILE PAGE 6 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 PROFILE news 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- This couple is: A.

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. WINKLER Gulf Service 102 W.

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 A.A. Sells Nightshirts, Raincoats Agnes Scott Athletic Asso- ciation is trying something new, A.A. has ordered a shipment of T-Shirts and nightshirts.The T-shirts will be made of heavy cotton and will have red and blue trim; they will have "Agnes Scott College" and the 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.

OCTOBER 27, 1967 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 (CONT.

THESE BRIGHT SCOTTITES HAVE DECIDED TO "Hit the Libe And Pray if or Passing." Have you? 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 have been best sellers before, 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."

J . s 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 for the PROFILE on the march. 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 (CONT.

The price is $1.25. by Cheryl Bruce 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- ! (CONT.

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. earley risings 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.

THE ROFILE VOLUME LiV, NUMBER 9 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 DECEMBER 1, 1967 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 Do not come to the Christmas program lo relax, study, or read a letter from your guy. It will be a learning experience, but you must be ready for it. You will need to bring eyes and ears anxious to experience fresh new blends of sound and movement, and an alert mini wiling to follow their sensitive search for the true meaning of Christmas. Perhaps more im- portant, you mu:3t be ready to join them in the celebration - you must laugh at Candy Wal- den's Merry Christmas hop, or Marsha Wilson's groan of joy; you must sigh at the quiet beauty of tender moments danced by Penny Burr and Mary Lamar.

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 Christmas Concert 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. The Glee Club's 45 members have been working toward this concert all quarter. They have performed at Deca.ur Methodist Church and Decatur Presbyter- ian Church prior to the con- cert on December 10. The Christmas program is made up of four sections with the selections ranging from Me- dieval to modern times. The first section, "Praising God," includes "Der Herr 1st Gross" by Schurz, "Let Thy Hand be Strengthened" by Handel, and "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 Livingston Gearhart. The program will end with a section "Praising Christ," in which selections from Handel's "Messiah", adapted by Mr. Mathews, will be sung.

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 :' THE ROFILE VOLUME L1V, NUMBER 10 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 JANUARY 12, 1968 - 8:30- 9:30 10:30 11:30 12:00 1:00 2:00 3:00 M i ,9:20 9:45 10:05 10:20. 11:20 Chapel 12:10 2:10 3:25 Chapel W Chapel Chapel Chapel Major changes under the proposed five day week schedule include chapels one hour later, three consecutive hours of classes in the morning, and utilization of the now unused 1 o'clock dinner- hour.

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. *** New Haven, Conn., (CPS)....

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."

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.

Or Abraham Richman? 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." JANUARY 12, 1968 THE PROFILE.

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

Ann Wilder Circulation Mangers Kathy Blee> Colleen Nueent 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 by Sandra Earley 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.

A by sandra earley 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- (CONT.

PAGE 3 THE PROFILE ANUAKY 12. 1968 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.

January 17th 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.

ON P. 4) 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.

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 Travel (CO NT.

THE ROFILE VOLUME LIV, NUMBER 11 Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030 JANUARY 26. 1968 "> Interboard Committee Forms Dress Revisions 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 (CONT. ON PAGE 2) by Bebe Guill d. Faculty and administration offices, classes, and science and art labs.

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 , (CONT. ON PAGE 4) 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 other 1 1% went to six different candidates. However, Presi- dent Johnson did not receive a single vote. *** COMMENTS, Mary Baldwin, Students at Mary Baldwin Col- lege will begin to schedule their own exams this January. The exams will be given at 9 a.m.i. and 2 p.m. over a specific time period. "The main thing this will do is end the tension of exam periods," Mrs. Martha F.

The slicks took over the campus this week. A beautiful ceremony marked the coming of the short-lived regime. The trees were hung with silver bunting. A carpet of spun glass was spread across the campus. Several students were given seats of honor. Afterwards they were given medical advice and treatment for their bruises and broken bones they received in occupying those seats. *** 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." Faculty D 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 by Susan Aikman Business Manager ^ Patsy May Campus News Editor ^JCay Parkerson Copy Editor Betty Sale Feature Ed i to r..^.^^. .~>.~~~~ Louise Bruechert Editorial Editor >~ ~ ~~ Bebe Guill Assistant Edltor ^.> Sharon Lagerquist Photographer ^ Advertising Manager Ann Wilder Circulation Mangers Kathy Blee, Colleen Nueent PuMUbed weekly except holidays and examination periods by the students of kJpts Scott College.

"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.

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 could 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. by sandra earley SOCIAL COUNCIL'S JANUARY NEATNESS COMMENDATION CAROL CULVER ..

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.

BAILEY Shoe Shop 142 Sycamore Street Phone DK-3-0172 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. STAMP IT!

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."

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 DRake 7-4913 DRak 3-4*22 DECATUR CAKE BOX Belle Miller Florist - Baker - Caterer 112 Clairmont Avenue Decatur, Ga. 109< Discount on Birthday Cakes for Agnes Scott Girli Decatur Cleaners & Hatters Campus pick up and
