Strife racks NSA
Cash Crisis Looms

EL PASO, Tex.-(CPS)-The aging one-legged
veteran in the ten-gallon hat sat in his wheel chair on
the El Paso corner between two of the hotels serving
the 22nd National Student Association (NSA)
congress.

The ruddy complected man pe.ddled American
flags. In the early days of the twoweek long NSA
meeting the sign strapped to the side of his wheel
chair read, "Support our boys-Let's win in
Vietnam." But when the days passed by, and so did
the potential 1200 student buyers, the flag salesman
changed his pitch. "Let's get out of Vietnam now,"
appealed a new sign on his chair.

Like reaction to the flag salesman's sincerity, the
NSA Congress frequently involved questions of
sincerity, motivation, and intentions.

For eight days the delegates met, and for eight days
not one new program or idea was proposed. This in
part was due to the structure of the congress which
provided for a week of workshops and seminars to be
followed by a week of business-legislative and
administrative sessions. The students, however, began
blaming themselves and the national staff for a
stagnant convention.

The Chicano (Mexican-American) students charged
that a primary reason for having the congress in El
Paso, at the Mexican border at Juarez, was to make
American students aware of the plight of the Chicano
people, who make up the majority of the population
of El Paso. NSA was not sincerely attempting to do
this, the handful of Chicano delegates charged.

NSA passed three resolutions submitted by the
Chicano caucus. The first sanctioned a student
boycott of Coors Beer maintaining that it is
discriminatory in its hiring practices. The second
reaffirmed NSA's support for the California table
grape boycott.

The third resolution said member schools must, in
selecting its delegates to NSA, represent minority
groups in proportion to their percentage on campus.

Like the Chicanos, many black delegates felt stifled
by NSA's inactivity and bureaucratic procedures
particularly during the first plenary sessions. Meeting
in a Third World Commission caucus, they created
the idea for a National Association of Black Students
(NABS) which would seek funding from NSA.

The inability of a black student from Ohio
University, Charles Patton, to obtain the floor during
Monday night's plenary to present the program
brought on the much publicized "black takeover."
Outgoing NSA President Robert Powell refused to
recognize Patton because the established procedure of
the plenary was to elect officers at the time. Patton
claimed the black proposal was far more important
and the "black people have been waiting for too
long," but he didn't press the matter until a white
student was granted the floor to make a nomination
speech for a ficticious candidate.

Patton tried to get the floor again to protest the
chair's giving time to the white student while refusing
himself time to present the NABS idea. Failing, he
walked up to the podium and pulled it from the
speakers' stage.

The following evening the blacks, led by former
NSA staff member Gwen Patton, modified the
demand to $50,000 payable to NABS by the end of
October. The delegates passed the black proposal
overwhelmingly.

Before the final day of plenary businesss meetings,
everyone had remarked how well NSA was coming
out of its congress. Some maintained the congress
failed in one respect. It had not looked at problems as

Positive charge moves
Rep-Kenyon transmits

"We must work for what we
MUST get, and not for what we
CAN get." The shift in emphasis
found in this short sentence is
typical of the policy described by
Dusty Kenyon, president of
Student Government Association,
in an address at SGA Retreat.

Stressing the "intended" values
and purpose of the college, she
devoted a good deal of her efforts
to selling a new positive approach
to community life. She called for
a return to the spiritual unity of
the purpose of the college and
stated that the educational
purpose of the college must be at
the center of all work in SGA.

Becoming more specific in her
planning, Kenyon mentioned the
need for greater student
involvement in education with
another end in sight than the
sheer acquisition of facts. Areas
of concern are the academic load
on the student and the question
of some form of independent

study tor all.

She then moved to the social
realm of community life, which
should be based on trust, faith,
and independence. "The norm
should be the accepted behavior
of the group," she said.

Kenyon went on to discuss a
new Honor System plan which
would combine Judicial Cou/icil
and House Presidents Council, so
that major offenses would be
tried before a joint faculty,
student and administration
Honor Board. Minor offenses
would be the concern of the
Dorm Council and the InterDorm
Council. The system would call
for more legalistic interpretation
of infractions of rules.

Her speech ended with a
discussion of ASC and the world.
She brought up the idea of
affiliated campuses in whichi
co-education would be on the
quarter system with "separate
but equal" campuses.

Retreat offers opportunities for
discussion and bridge. Leigh Ann
Peterson also found time to study
the new handbook.

The Great AmericanV acation

"We all had it - none of us escaped it," stated one
junior as she lugged baggage up the steps of Rebekah.
"It," of course, is a summer vacation which comes to
every student annually. Length varies, and to those
afflicted with a need or a yen for summer school to
fill those unstructured hours the time indeed is short.

In an attempt to analyze the problem of leisure
time in modern society, the PROFILE has compiled
the following statistics and specific examples to
illustrate the pleasures and pitfalls of an idle hour.

The Agnes Scott student body was considered an
admirable test group being homogeneous in
background, diverse in geographic situation and able
to express opinions on any subject without being
prompted. The statistics are not prejudice and may
indeed be erroneous. However, from the information
gathered, it would appear that any error would be in
the conservative tone of the estimate.

Approximately one hundred per cent of the
student body in attendance during the 1968-1969
school session had left the ASC campus by June 9. Of
this sample, 95.6% went home at some tineme during
the June-September span. Ninety-five per cent had
dirty laundry accumulated.

The general categories of occupation were work,
play and education (both work and play). Those who
worked were extremely goal-oriented. They wanted
money. Approximately 10.8% of the sample,
however, worked in community projects and religious
activities.

It was difficult to ascertain the mood of one group
of working girls - the camp counselors. In most cases,
they began their jobs with a generally tolerant
attitude towards youth. Experience brought a change
of mood, so that most expressed a desire to "get
away from it all" before the summer was over.

Having assumed the role of authority figure, it was
difficult to adjust to the anti-authoritarian
movements of their charges, many seemed to imply.

Camp counselors generally expressed renewed
respect for law and order. They comprised 29% of the
total sample.

Approximately 98% of the sample travelled - to
various resorts, to relatives, to school. The serious
travellers were considered those who spent three
weeks or more in "faraway places." It is estimated
that 35% of the sample frequented Europe and at
least 1 5% managed to meet at various national
capitols. The other 20% were in transit. The entire
35% managed to meet an American in Paris. Several
went beyond the Iron Curtain, but returned.

Other travel experiences were much like the
following two examples: Linda Laney, '71, went to
school in Guadalahara, Mexico. She found it
interesting that all dates had to be chaperoned - even
to the grocery store. Americans, however, did not
need a chaperone on a double-date.

Sherry Stithe, '71, was a waitress in a Nantucket
hotel. She felt no barriers as a southern girl - just a
great bunch of kids.

At least 28% of the sample attended summer school
taking such subjects as quantitative analysis, biology
(1%), languages, etc. This same percentage, as well as
other persons, managed to fit in other activities. It is
estimated that at least 22,500 man-hours were logged
in the sun by the total sample, that 102 wisdom teeth
were removed, and that an average of five letters was
sent and/or received by each member of the sample.

The remaining eight per cent of the sample who did
not travel, work or attend school stayed home and
engaged in "personal enrichment." They got married
a lot.

Others learned about life - in fact, it was generally
agreed that the entire sample grew a little older. A
few members of the sample concluded that summer is
an unstructured, and therefore, mildly challenging
period - the basic problem being money, which is
either worked for or spent.

monster was Frankenstein,
named, of course, after its creator
- Baron von Frankenstein. The
monster has terrorized children
on the screen for two
generations.

Who was the monster? Was he
man or demon? No, he was a
mild-mannered English stage
actor named William Henry Pratt

In his third cinematic adven-
ture he had a featured part as a
villainous French-Canadian fur
trapper in "The Deadlier Sex/' It
was Karloffs first important
screen role and the first of a long
line of assorted villains.

There have been many conflict-
ing theories as to how Karloff
was discovered to play the impor-
tant role of the Frankenstein
monster for Universal. In a recent
interview he finally told the "off-
icial" story:

"What really happened was
this: I'd been in a play in Los
Angeles called The Criminal
Code.' It was sent out from New
York with four or five parts to be
cast locally, and I had the luck to
get one that was very showy -
small, but it was very showy and
well spotted in the play. I think
James Whale (director of the
Frankenstein) saw it. A few
months later it was filmed

"Because I'd been in the play, I
had the chance to play the same
part in the film, and I think he'd
also seen that. I was working at
Universal at the time, and James
Whale was in the commissary
having lunch. Me asked me over
to his table to have a cup of
coffee and said that he wanted
me to take a test for the monster.

So began the Frankenstein
monster legend and the Boris
Karloff legend. Working on the
film was no picnic for Karloff,
ior his was an extremely physical
role. Starting at 6 a.m., Karloff
was strapped motionless on a
table for six hours while make-up
artist Jack Pierce transformed
him into the Frankenstein mon-
ster.

So heavy was the make-up on
just his left hand that if he had
attempted to open it unassisted
he would have broken it. After
this, his forehead was extended
and a pair of size 18 undergoing
the same torture.

The success of the Franken-
stein film was amazing. After
Frankenstein, Karloff worked his
way up to the title of "King of
the Monsters'' by doing more
than 1 30 movies.

Pratt, better known as
Karloff, had reached out his hand
and established an institution
that was to lead him down the
paths of cinematic villainry.

Born in London, Karloff was
christened on Nov. 23, 1887. His
father was a public official
serving in India and it was only
proper that his son would follow
in his footsteps. Hence, young
William was sent to the Merchant
Taylors' School, at Uppingham
and finally to London University
or his education.

Things didn't go so well for the
young man and he dipped his
fingers into a variety of different
occupations. He was a truck
driver, a laborer and finally, in
1910 became an actor. His first
stage performance was, oddly
enough, in "The Devil." He
didn't play the role of Satan, but
that of a banker. While in these
early days it was known that he
played one hundred different
roles in one year.

Karloff entered films as an
xtra. His first known stage
ppearance was in 19 19. He

A Letter to

Looking over my 1969 Scott
yearbook, I came across that
memorable quote by Hope
Sommers: "I can't wait until the
freshmen start gaining weight."
Well - as unofficial president of
the 2nd Walters "Wednesday
Afternoon Weight Watchers
Society" (WAWWS), I wouldn't
wish that fate on anyone -
especially freshmen. They've got
enough to worry about.

Before I came to college, I
remember reading all sorts of
articles about college food in
such collegiate stand-bys as
"Glamour" and "Mademoiselle."
According to "Glamour," if you
were unlucky enough to be
attending one of the "Seven
Sisters," you could automatically
add five pounds to your
projected winter size. I've found
things at Scott to be a little
better.

starches, but the lovely ladies of

SEPTEMBER 23, 1969

Open Letter to ASC

Imagine Scott girls in a co-ed classroom with radicals, reactionaries,
blacks and orientals, planning the campus tactics for confrontation
warfare. This exposure to burning education was afforded Marion
Gamble and me at the 22nd National Student Congress.

The theme of Congress, "Revolt on the Campus," was reviewed and
revitalized as student leaders from Berkeley to St. Mary of the Woods
committed themselves to a militant continuation of the Movement.

All across the board, the traditional campus emphasis on
preparation, on academic isolation, was spurned for the "now"
education of "Living Learning." Within Congress, freedom of
expression in appearance, in vocabulary, in touch provided the
comfort and impetus for "gut" learning with its frustration and its
joy.

The crisis and progress of the 1968-69 campus was measured
; against its historical role as critic of society and birthplace of social
; change. Militant blacks, Catholic girls, and Tennessee linebackers
v explored revolutionary restructuring in the university with Carl
Rogers.

It was generally accepted that educational reform is obsolete. The
traditional college is the same as it was fifty years ago. According to
Rogers: "Education is moving out of the university and into the
community. If rigidity in traditional education persists, this
momentum will increase. There are more and more who don't care
about the credits, the diploma and the letters after their names."

Congress itself was an exposure to a new life style in learning.
Marian and I were allowed to learn by expressing ourselves, by sitting
on the floor barefoot, and in pants. Adjustment to such a situation,
admittedly, meant pain because for once, we as students were the
authoritarian figures in our own educational process.

Learning went beyond reading, discussing, testing, and forgetting.
Once a new idea was accepted we would often be forced to feel the
concept by having to act on it.

For instance, there was study emphasis on racism and restructuring.
It was acknowledged that NSA, as well as its member schools, was
not moving within its structure to provide a beneficial educational
program for blacks. At once there was an opportunity to move from
evaluation to action. A legislative session was interrupted to carry on
the more pressing business of creating a National Association of Black
Students.

Not at one moment were all delegates allied in conviction and
perspective. There were both radical and non-violent caucuses. There
was, however, a common belief in the exercise of student power.

This is where Agnes Scott and NSA fail to relate. To be effective
members of the national student community we must redefine our
rights and our priorities. Honesty, not timid-pre-determined
compromise, should govern our relationship with faculty,
administration and Student Government Association.

We must get at the heart of the issue. We should emphasize to the
Dean's Office that enforcement of date parlor procedures will not
touch the question of sex on campus when birth control counseling
and information are needed. Those of us who believe that marijuana
offenders must be treated as felons should re-examine their
relationship to the twenty per cent of our student body who could go
to jail for breaking such drug laws.

If honesty and self-determination even begin to control our
learning and interrelationships on campus this year, that we as
individuals will deserve to be members of a National Student
Association.

Even summers must end. Scotties prepare for the new year with

excitement, high hopes, much paraphernalia and smiles.

Bus Co. effort fails-
Youth fare continues!

WASHINGTON--
(CPS)--Airline youth fares will
continue, but not at the
current half-price discount.

The five-man Civil
Aeronautics Board (CAB)
decided here this month that
while the fares, which enable
persons 12-22 to fly standby
at low cost, were fair in
principle, airlines should be
allowed to raise them to 60
per cent of the regular coach
fare.

The reason: steep wage
settlements, more expensive
fuel, and higher landing fees
have lowered airline profits
excessively, according to the
CAB, and price increases in
both regular and promotional
discounts are necessary to
increase revenue. The major
air carriers offering special
youth f ares American,
Continental, Northwest,

TWA, United, Eastern, and
Western-are expected to take
advantage of the CAB ruling
and raise their prices. The new
rates will take effect Oct. I.

A CAB spokesman said
further hearings will be held
on the "economics" of the
discount rate as soon as a
court case brought by
Trailways Bus Systems against
the CAB is settled. Trailways
contends it is discriminatory
for there to be any discount
for youth at all, since adults
must pay full fare.

The youth fare issue was
forced to head last January
when several bus companies,
all of which had lost business
to the airlines on account of
the fares, filed suit to make
the CAB listen to their
arguments that the discounts
were illegal.

For all those who didn't know:
Retreat is a yearly event that
happens to the members of
student government. Lor two
days before the freshmen arrive,
they assemble to look at each
other again, to become
accustomed to using their heads
after a lethargic summer, and to
discuss campus issues at board
meeting, after board meeting,
after board meeting.

This year, the members of
Representative Council, Judicial
Council, Athletic Association,
Social Council, House President's
Council, and Orientation Council
(plus a few members of the
Profile staff) assembled at Rock
Fagle, the 4-1 1 center near
Fatonton, Georgia.

The two main issues concerned
the structure of Judicial and the
procedure of signing out.

In place of the present judicial
system, an Honor Board may be
established to work on major
policy offenses which are
considered serious enough by the
student body. As plans stand
now, Honor Board would consist
of an elected Honor Court
Chairman, the President of
Student Government Association,
the President of the college, the
Dean of Students, the Dean of
the Faculty, the President of
Mortar Board, one faculty
member, one elected rotating
member from Rep Council, and
the Chairman of Inter Dorm
Council.

Inter Dorm Council,
established to take care of
appeals, would consist of the
Chairman of House President's
Council, the Chairman of Cottage
Presidents, House Presidents, and
Cottage Presidents.

To deal with judicial cases for
which a penalty is automatic, a
Dorm Council would be
established. The house presidents,

Agnes Scott College has
received a grant of S50,000 from
the Sarah Graham Kenan
Foundation of Chapel Hill, North
Carolina. The grant is to be used
to establish at the college the
Annice Hawkins Kenan
Scholarship Fund.

Mrs. Annice Hawkins Kenan,
an alumna of Agnes Scott, was
the daughter of the late Frank
Hawkins, long prominent in
Southern banking circles, and the
wife of the late Thomas S.
Kenan. She was the mother of
Frank H. Kenan of Durham,
North Carolina, president of the
Sarah Graham Kenan
Foundation, and of James G.
Kenan of Atlanta, president of
Olympia Investment Corporation.

If plans for the new procedure
continue as they have begun, the
present sign out policy will
definitely be altered. Under the
new PROPOSED system, dorms
will be left open until 1 a.m.
every night, and anyone returning
to campus after 1 a.m. will be let
into her dorm by the security
police.

Upperclassmen need not sign
out until 1 a.m., must turn their
cards to kt out" between 1 and 8
a.m., and must specify an address
or a phone number on their cards
if returning after 8 a.m. It is
definitely questionable whether
these procedures will apply to
freshmen.

new issues? Do you feel that the
proposed sign-out procedures
should apply to freshmen also?
Let someone know. Rep Council
is plumb thought out.

economic in nature. It did not consider racism or
poverty, for example, in the context of the problems
of a capitalist society.

But the conflict and distrust during the final day
put the organization back on the seriously sick list
again. NSA now has some internal bleeding to stop.

One questions:

(1) if NSA is going to be able to solve its severe
financial difficulties. The delegates did elect a
business oriented man, Jim Sutton from the
University of Iowa, as its executive vice president.
But some of Sutton's ideas-such as proposals for
"cooperative NSA grocery stores and gasoline
stations"-sound a bit extravagant for a group that has
no money to invest and bills to pay, including
$50,000 to NABS by Oc'obeber 31. Staff members
said they should be able to meet their debts through
their travel and record clubs and similar service
promotions.

(2) if NSA is going to be able to serve its members
well enough to keep them from disaffiliating. As one
student body president, who will urge disaffiliation
on her campus, said, "We can get record clubs
elsewhere. That's not what NSA should be. NSA
should be organizing students around common
concerns, and I think we can do that job better
ourselves without the albatross of NSA around our
neck."

Irish make demands-
hostages forced to eat

(CPS)-Some wild people are
getting into the protest act these
days.

At irrepressible Queens College
in New York City a group of
students calling themselves Irish
Revolutionaries Interested in
Scholastic Help (IRISH) issued a
set of demands to the college,
then took over a building which
houses broom closets and storage
rooms of broken equipment as
well as other things.

Their demands included incep-
tion of an exchange program with
the University of Dublin, St. Pat-
rick's Day as a legal holiday, and
immediate acceptance of 200 de-
serving underprivileged and grate-
ful Irish students.

They also demanded a Michael
J. Quill Memorial Irish Studies

Program, to include the history,
literature, language, beverage and
other aspects of the Irish tradi-
tion. (Michael J. Quill was head
of the transit workers' union in
New York City, and showed his
finer Irish qualities during their
periodic strikes.)

While holding the building, the
Irish Coalition sang Irish rebel
songs and assorted Irish music.
Much of the Irish national bever-
age was consumed. Hostages were
taken and forced to consume
Irish cake, coffee and beer. The
Irish flag was posted in front of
the building, which was renamed
the "Irish Studies Building."

Queens president Joseph
McMurray's only comment on
the protest was that he was dis-
appointed that he had not been
invited to participate.

Plum Nelly Show
Display sNative Art

ATLANTA (PRN) - For a really different type art
show, the Plum Nelly Clothesline Art Show has no
equal. Held on the side of a mountain, this annual
event attracts thousands of art and fun lovers. The
show will be held on October 4th and 5th.

At Plum Nelly (Plum out of Tennessee and Nelly
out of Georgia), art works by hometown painters of
the North Georgia area, and a few selected fine crafts
from a wider area, are displayed on actual clotheslines
in the open woodland. The display area is located on
a high bluff overlooking a valley between Lookout
Mountain and Sand Mountain. Paintings, pottery,
laminated glass, baskets and wood carvings are only a
few of the types of arts and crafts to be shown.

The Plum Nelly Clothesline Art Show is held at
Rising Fawn, Georgia. Blue and white Plum Nelly
signs will point the way from all valley intersections
near the show and on the mountain. The Tourist
Division of the Georgia Department of Industry and
Trade describes Plum Nelly as "a mountain happening
with family appeal - a must-see."

In case of rain, enough to cause wet grounds in the
parking lot, the show will be postponed ONE WEEK.
All radio, television and newspapers will be contacted
at daybreak Saturday - October 4th, or the evening
before, in time to warn the visitors, within a radius of
a hundred miles of the show.

Social Security -
for college kids!

"Social security benefits for students?, certainly it's
possible," commented Ed Womack, District Manager
for social security in Decatur, when asked about the
age of 18-22 student benefit provisions of the law.

The facts about the law are simply that an
unmarried child of a retired, disabled, or deceased
parent who worked in social security employment is
eligible for a monthly benefit to age 22 if he remains
in full-time school attendance. "Full-time" means
carrying a full-course load and pursuing an
educational goal according to the attendance
requirements of the school or college he attends.

Mr. Womack emphasized especially the act that
some students may have lost their mother before
1968 and were denied child's benefits at that time
because the law required a recent work connection
under social security. These students may now be
eligible.

The law was changed in February 1968 to provide a
benefit for a child (including a student age 18 to 22)
whose mother worked under social security in past
years but who had not necessarily worked in years
just prior to her death. This benefit eligibility exists
regardless of the earnings of the child's father.

If you are a student whose father or mother is
retired, disabled, or deceased, check with the nearest
social security office if you are not receiving a
monthly social security benefit check.

Urban Corps - Service plus
experience a winning combo

by GINNY SIMMONS Campus News

SEVEN STUDENTS FROM Agnes Scott spent this
past summer working on jobs provided by the Atlanta
Urban Corps. Their experiences and those of 250
other college students make up the file of Urban
Corp's first summer in action.

Urban Corps is a unique organization. Along with
chapters sprouting around the natiom, Atlanta's
Urban Corps is maintained by and for college
students.

Its main function is to locate jobs in which a
collegian "can serve in the community and use his
service as part of his learning." In some cases Urban
Corps jobs have been suitable enough to be given
credit in the students' college work.

The Urban Corps jobs are called "internships."
Ideally they are in worthwhile, leaning capacities.
Only in a few disappointing places were the positions
merely clerical ones. In these cases, Urban Corps is
not planning to renew the unsatisfactory internships
next summer.

MORE ACCEPTABLE TO the Urban Corps
concept were jobs involving the model cities program
and literacy projects. Susan Pickard and Sally Tucker,
both now seniors at Agnes Scott, worked with the
Atlanta Park and Recreational Commission at
Kennesaw Mountain National Park. Using
environmental study tours they tried to explain to
many different camp and recreational groups how
nature and "the way things work" relate to human
beings.

Except in a few isolated cases the Urban Corps jobs
were based on a 40-hour week for ten weeks. Salary
was based pretty much on class standing. Graduates
students were paid 2.50 an hour, juniors and seniors
received 2.20 an hour, and freshmen and sophomores
got 1.80.

Internships were assigned, in ideal situations, not
only by experience and background, but also by
correlating the student's studies and his future
outlook with the position.

This, is the philosophy of Urban Corps. As the idea
caught on in Atlanta, students from many area
schools worked enthusiastically setting up the Atlanta
chapter.

THEIRS WAS A serious job as they drummed up
financial aid, student support, willing and suitable
employers, and qualified job applicants. A large part
of their task was publicizing and explaining the
organization. In this endeavor, Truly Bracken and
several other Urban Corps leaders spoke about the
Corps in an Agnes Scott Convocation last spring.

Editor

Unfortunately, the Corps, suffering from lack of
precedent and experience, could not fulfill its
projected first-year quota. For nearly 1,000
applicants, the Corps was only able to provide some
250 jobs. The jobs provided, however, were for the
most part good starters for the growing program.

An important aspect of this first summer was its
stress on the future of the Corps. Each intern was
required to fill out an evaluation of his experience.
This was to help improve the program and to expand
job offerings.

FOR AGNES SCOTT students Urban Corps
positions are presently rather limited. Most of Urban
Corp's jobs are financed through the federal
Work-Study Funds program. Because of the
independent standing of the college, Agnes Scott
students cannot accept this aid.

Jobs for Scott students, therefore, are limited to
those for which private funds can be procurred and
paid through the Urban Corps. In a special case, 26
Urban Corps interns were paid as VISTA associates.
Among them was Susan Pickard from ASC.

In addition to providing jobs for college students,
Atlanta's Urban Corps conducted several stimulating
seminars during the summer. These seminars were
open to tjie public and not restricted to the Corps
interns.

THE SEMINARS CENTERED around the basic
concept of Service- Learning. At several conferences
the group studied the concept of learning through
service and serving as a supplement and vital part of
learning. They also explored the possibilities of
extending credit for a service-learning job to more
colleges.

Urban Corps has not finished its activity with the
end of summer. Urban Corps is providing both
part-time and full-time jobs for students this fall. In
addition it is working now to expand and improve for
next summer.

Susan Pickard contributed the firm assurance that
the summer had been good for her, both through the
experience of her job and through her participation at
the seminars. She asserts that Urban Corp's future
appears strong.

Since Urban Corps is a program for students, it will
naturally benefit from having strong student support.
Interest, encouragement and outright work are
needed. And considering the number of students out
for jobs in Atlanta each summer, student support for
an active Urban Corps is not unwarranted.

'Experts 9 Speak

by JANICE JOHNSON
Feature Editor

"It is my opinion that dumb rich girls from South
Georgia come to Agnes Scott as a type of finishing
school." Shocking??? Doubly so when the quote
comes from a man who taught computer math here at
Scott.

The President of an Emory fraternity states that
"Whenever anyone mentions Agnes Scott all I can see
is a bunch of straight-laced old maids sitting around
in a circle deciding what is proper and what isn't
proper for girls who should be making the decisions
for themselves." Yet this same person says that he
would rather date Scott girls than Emory girls
because we are more "personable" and know "how to
appreciate men."

Exactly what is the Agnes Scott Image around this
area? How many misconceptions do people have of
the school and why?

For the paper this week 1 had planned a small
article based on interviews with boys from Emory
and Tech on the Agnes Scott Image. Because of the
willineness of the boys to talk and my own growing
interest and amazement in the answers I was getting, I
decided to expand the article and present it in four
sections.

The sections will be based on interviews with boys

Talk a little...

In the face of the multitude of activities which surround
the Agnes Scott student, not the least of which are her
studies, it seem futile to exhort, cajole and whimper for
volunteers in any cause. However, the PROFILE wishes to
support a drive for extra-curricular mental exercise. We
want you to talk.

Have you ever considered the fact that the proverbial bull
session on this campus is rare. Indeed, to judge from the
responses of some, the possibility of such a confab is as
great as the incidence of hoof and mouth disease in
humans. For your information, there are three known cases
of the disease, mind you.

It is not gossip, or discussion of class material, or even
sitting up until 4 a.m. that we advocate - not everyone
starts class at 10:30, after all- rather a genuine application
of facts learned.

In her first column, Ann Hoefer argues tnat a liberal
education is an end in itsel and that necessary technical
training can be gotten after college. Surely, you have an
opinion on THAT! Can you marshal chapter and verse to
support your view? Let someone else in on the secret. The
PROFILE stands ready to greet "Letters to the Editor"
(signed, of course) with open arms. FORUM wlecomes
diverse opinion. Rep Hall meetings are designed to be a
sounding board. But there is little or no sound.

All the great talk of openess and responsibility in SGA is
nothing but public demonstration unless we achieve a
"quiet revolution" on this campus. As John Kenneth
Galbraith said:

Good universities have always been places of contention
and dispute. And the best universities in their greatest
phase have always been places of the most energetic and
uninhibited contention. That is because, in great universi-
ties, ideas are important and issues are taken seriously and
scholars are not cowards and no one is so silly as to suppose
there is such a thing as orderly, well-regulated debate
which, in the manner of a motion picture script, can be
carefully tailored in advance to the taste of the audience
and the prejudices of the censor. Poor universities compos-
ed of craven men are invariably very orderly places, and
bad universities have the silence and tranquility of the

desert - from "The Modern University:

3 Steps Toward Today"

At this year's Retreat an issue
meriting marked attention in the
panel discussion on academics
was that of the relevance of
Agnes Scott's curriculum to the
problems of contemporary
America. The implied, but largely
unstated, presupposition was that
academically traditional courses
provide insufficient preparation
for the graduate's confrontation
with the problems which affect
her both as an individual and as a
member of her society. From this
position, academia is cast as both
lacking in concern for the needs
of our society and unwilling, or
at least unprepared, to descend
from its contemplation of
abstracts into concentration upon
concrete problems.

This position represents a
misapprehension of both

intellectualism and of the values
and functions of the liberal arts
education. In a most perceptive
article, "Democracy and
Anti-intellectualism in America,"
Richard Hofstadter concisely
defines the intellectual as "one
living for ideas (rather than) off
ideas. " ("Contemporary
American Education," pp. 188
-207). More discursively, those
who "live off ideas" deal in the
specifics derived from conceptual
thought, the province of the
intellectual.

There is certainly no inferiority
inherent in dealing with what
Hofstadter terms ideas with an
"instrumental purpose." The
problem, however, arises in
blurring the distinction between
the two approaches to thought,
and it is this historic problem in

'Alice's Restaurant 9

better song than movie?

"ALICE'S RESTAURANT."
Produced by Hillard Elkins and
Joe Manduke. Directed by Arthur
Penn. Screenplay by Venable
Herndon and Penn from Arlo
Guthrie's "The Alice's Restaurant
Massacre." Released by United
Artists. Starring Arlo Guthrie, Pat
Quinn, and James Broderick.

(CPS)-Be prepared. You can't
get anything you want at Alice's
Restaurant.

All the Arlo Guthrie fans who
are jamming premier theaters to
see his film version of "Alice's
Restaurant" are finding the
movie isn't at all what they came
to see.

"Alice's Restaurant," based on
the very popular and very funny
song "The Alice's Restaurant
i Massacre," is not very funny. It
doesn't even try to be for the
most part. Yes, the funny lines
fr>m the song are there in the
story of Arlo's being arrested for
dumping garbage and his failing
the draft physical because of his
"criminal" record. But the humor
is secondary to the serious, sad,
and often depressing side of Arlo
Guthrie's adventures as a college
drop-out folk artist trying to pick
up where his father left off.

The movie is very biographical,
and it appears that Arlo no longer
has the care-free attitude toward
life that he had when he penned
the song. There are poignant
scenes in the movie as Arlo thinks
of his dying father, folk singer

CARREL 7

Woody Guthrie, and as he later
visits his parents with Pete
Seeger.

There are also serious scenes
involving a friend of Arlo's who is
hooked on heroin, attempts to
kick his addiction, and ends up
dead from an overdose. The
anti-hard narcotic message is
almost trite in the films in the
late '69s, but a beautifully
photographed cemetery scene
with Joni Mitchell singing a
eulogy makes it another poignant
moment in thefilm

There is somewhat of an
indictment-or a questioning at
any rate--of the "beautiful
people" life which Alice and her
husband Ray Brock try to live.
They become less happy as the
film progresses and more worried
over the futures of friends. The
couple buys an old church (in
Great Barrington, Mass.) and
turns it into a commune for hip
friends ; Alice also starts a
restaurant nearby. But even with
lots of friends, music, and
excitement their unhappiness
together and theirf ears show.

Guthrie himself is more of an
observer of all these happenings
than the star of the movie. His
life is rather shy-one of standing
in the background observing and
feeling. His performing moments
come in telling the tale of the
song.

And that tale comes off a lot
better on the recording. The lines
fromthe song, for the most part,
are funnier when one can use his

imagination. When spoken in a
technicolor movie with nothing
left to the imagination the lines
sound a bit awkward.

Likewise the movie causes
some scenes which had created
brilliant images in the mind upon
hearing the record to be reduced
to unimpressive reality. Take the
garbage dumping scene. Officer
Obie calls Arlo and says, "I found
your name on a piece of paper
under half a ton of garbage."
Image. In the film, where the
image is drawn out for you, it
wasn't really very ridiculous at
all. The garbage pile wasn't so
big, and there was nothing
difficult about finding Arlo's
name.

Officer Obie, played by the
officer who actually arrested
Guthrie on the dumping charge,
gives one of the most refreshing
touches to the film. To see a real
cop portraying himself as a fat,
dopey cop is a delight.

The movie attemps to create
for the screen Arlo's true-life
experiences as accurately as
possible, while still providing
enough meat to sell tickets to a
general audience (not just Arlo
Guthrie fans.) Unfortunately for
those of us who had expected it,
"Alice's Restaurant" is not a
slap-stick, hilarious sequel to the
song. It is instead a presentation
of both the happiness and
unhappiness in the lives of the
people it presents, and the
unhappy, serious, and concerned
side dominates.

by Hoefer

American education which gives
lie to the thesis Hofstadter
implies in his title.

The traditionally academic (or
liberal arts) education serves to
introduce students to conceptual
thought which is not necessarily
intended to become every
graduate's sole intellectual modus
operandi. However, this type of
education can serve as the
grounding in larger categories
which could initiate more useful
specific use of ideas.

I believe that the desire is dear
to every academic simply to
acquaint his students with the
fact that all of the details with
which they have, and must
continue>to deal to spring from
some mother-lode of
comprehensive ideas.

Unfortunately, America goal
oriented society that it is has
seized upon the B.A. as a tangible
super-symbol of educational
attainment, and in doing so has
relegated much material to the
liberal arts education which is
foreign to its intent.
Consequently, many
non-academic courses of study,
which properly belong to specific
vocational training, find their
way into curricula under the
guise of "preparation for life."

Necessarily, everyone who
chooses a career needs specific
instruction, but there is no need
for our colleges to amalgamate
vocational training and academic
study no reason at all, unless
America educators and laymen
have a mistaken idea of what a
BA represents and for purposes

of giving or Seeking status feel the
need to stuff every type of
education into one genre of it.

We often complain that Agnes
Scott's graduates are not
immediately employable. This
should come as no surprise to any
student at Scott cognizant
enough to grasp the significance
and purpose of the education for
which she has enrolled. If she has
in any way successfully pursued
her education she will have found
some meaning in at least one of
the conceptual fields she has
studied and will seek, in the
appropriate place, any vocational
skills she may need after
graduation. Moreover, if she feels
that the goals she pursues are not
to be assisted by her liberal arts
education she should terminate
it.

Student Services unite
NSA and Atlanta area

That the National Student
Association and the
Intercollegiate Committee offer
services valuable to the individual
student is a fact not widely
known on the Agnes Scott
campus. Here are the facts, a
report of what these
organizations can do for the
Scottie.

Carol Watkins, the coordinator
of student services offered by
NSA, listed the many programs
run by this grup. Most familiar,
perhaps, are its travel services.

NSA can provide information
on tours and discounts for plane
travel, restaurants, and hotels.
Carol suggests that anyone
interested can obtain a travel card
and more information from U.S.
National Travel Association, Inc.,
70 5th Ave., New York, N.Y.
10011.

NSA can help the student in
other ways, too. It operates
magazine and record clubs, for
example. And, through "Re
Con," the graduating student can
list her interests and abilities and
be matched to her possible
employer by a computer.

Finally, NSA acts as a
clearing-house for information.
Students can write to find the
solutions to a problem on campus
that have been tried by other
colleges. NSA offers in addition,
information on current affairs.
One can stop by the lending
library - now located in the
dining hall- and pick up a few
pamphlets.

An organization uniting
students in the Atlanta area alone
can also do much to help the
individual. It is through the
Intercollegiate Committee that
Scott can work with other

schools for improved student
services.

Mary Agnes Bullock, chairman
of the committee, hopes to
coordinate the calendars of the
Atlanta area schools and to
exchange posters publicizing the
events on different campuses.

Student discounts at more
stores in the Decatur area are also
a possibility. Students already
have discounts at the Cake Box
and at Pizza by Candlelight- and
discount cards can be picked up
with ID cards.

The committee has some
interesting ideas for projects
supported by a city-wide student
organization. Students can
already take classes at other
colleges; perhaps they will in the
future be served by inter-campus
transit.

A cooperative department store
or book store is a money-saving
project that has been tried in
Boston and New York. Finally,
an intercollegiate committee
could serve student interests as a
"channel of communication
between students and city
officials."

Beore these problems are
planned, however, we need to
work through an organization
uniting the 40,000 students in
Atlanta. Mary Agnes has not yet
been able to contact the
newly-formed Atlanta League of
Colleges.

"An intercollegiate committee
should work with other colleges.
Until we get some response we
can't be very effective." Despite
their problems in
communication, Mary Agnes and
her committee have been working
to make their ideas a reality.

Fernbank facilities -
unique and available

"Did you hear that? Fernbank'
Science Center in Atlanta. I never
heard of it before." This reaction
may have been typical of many
of us who sat glued to the
television during the Apollo 1 1
flight to the moon. Many of us
have been quite oblivious to the
fact that we live near one of the
nation's greatest science centers.

William A. Calder, professor of
Physics and Astronomy and
Director of the Bradley
Observatory at Agnes Scott,
commented that Fernbank is of
great national significance and is
really an "outstanding thing."
Calder has served as director of
the observatory at Fernbank and
now on the advisory committee.

According to Calder, no other
city in the United States has such
a great nature program. The fine
virgin .forest are especially
beautiful. Fernbank is also
equipped with a 36 inch
telescope and maintains the third
largest planetarium in the U.S.
Plans are also being made for a
big marine aquarium and museum
of natural history.

Fernbank is also unique in that
its fine facilities are accessible to
the public. Fernbank is open to
the public Tuesday through
Friday from 8:30 a.m. to ten
p.m. The forests are open in the
afternoon from two to five, on
Saturdays from ten a.m. -five
p.m., and on Sundays from two
to five. There is a show in the
planetarium at eight p.m.
Tuesday through Friday, at ten
a.m: and five p.m. on Saturday,
and at two p.m. and five p.m. on
Sundays. There are no guided
tours, but a group may have one
arranged if they wish.

The Bradley observatory at
Scott also has some fine
equipment, including a 30-inch
telescope and a planetarium. A
solar telescope is being
constructed. There are no longer
any open nights for the public,
but if students wish to visit the
observatory they are urged to get
in touch with one of the
astronomy students.

Trotter
Near Riots
In Ireland

Margret Trotter, professor of
English, was one of many Agnes
Scott teachers and students
attending summer school this
summer. But how many Scotties
were within 75 miles of riots
which made international
headlines?

M iss Trotter spent two weeks
in Sligo, a small town on the west
coast of the Irish Republic (and
only 75 miles rom Belfast,
Northern Ireland) while attending
the William Butler Yeats Summer
School.

Over 200 students of all ages
and nationalities were in Sligo to
hear lecturers from Trinity
College, to see plays and
participate in seminars. The
school sponsored several bus trips
to places in Ireland associated
with Yeats, including the Norman
tower where he lived in his old
age and the tree where George
Bernard Shaw, Sean O'Casey and
Yeats carved their initials.

The school was officially
opened by the bagpipe band of
Sligo and addressed by Yeats'
son, Senator Micheal Yeats, a
member of the Irish Senate.
Sessions of the school were held
in the town hall of Sligo, a town
of 13,000 inhabitants. Miss
Trotter described Sligo itself as a
very quaint seaport town replete
with seagulls, gypsies, swans, and
boys fishing for salmon from
bridges. Many of the houses d^te
from the eighteenth century.

Although she was in Ireland
during the height of the trouble
in Northern Ireland, Miss Trotter
described the Republic of Ireland
as relatively calm.

Boys gave out lealets which
called vaguely for Catholics to
"do their duty," and the premier
of Northernlreland was burned in
efigy in Sligo.

Poeple in the Irish Republic
were however, very disturbed
about their relatives and fellow
Catholics in Northern Irela i.
Miss Trotter described part of tiie
problem when she commented,
"Nobody in Northern Ireland
wants to be a minority. " She
noted that the pforJTem dates
back to the Reformation and
therefore, there seems to be no
easy solution.

Northern Ireland is a part of
Great Britain. The Roman
Catholic minority there
(especially in Belfast)
demonstrated violently against
discrimination by the Protestant
ruling group.

The Agnes Scott Image . . .
the awesome myth emerges!

by JANICE JOHNSON
Feature Editor

When asked to discuss the ASC image in Atlanta
and elsewhere, their own impressions of the girls they
taught, differences between teaching at Scott and at
coed schools, and some of the school's hang ups,
several of the ASC faculty commented quite
candidly.

Lee B. Copple, associate professor in Psychology,
said he had found that in other educational
institutions, Agnes Scott is held in a good deal of
awe. Copple went on to say that being held in such
awe could work to our disadvantage because the
college seemed unattainable to many.

He feels that the brightness of the students that go
here, if anything, is exaggerated. Many mothers have
told him that there would be no use in their
daughters trying to go to Scott since their SAT scores
were not in the high 700's. Copple emphasized that
he was proud to teach at ASC and proud of the ASC
image, but he just wished it was more deserved than it
is. .

John A. Tumblin Jr., chairman of the Sociology
Dept., said that "concerning the image of the school
as a whole, there still survives a loading of the
finishing school myth."

Margaret W. Pepperdene, chairman of the English
Dept. noted that since the college has been here so
long and the area around it has not changed much
through the years, people in the area tend to judge
the college from what they knew it to be in the past.
Thus, when people in the area get to know the
students, they are sometimes shocked at the diversity
on religion, social rules, etc.

Pinka, assistant professor of English says that
people outside tend to think \SC is a Presbyterian
oriented school and that there has not been much
effort to change this image.

Concerning the personal impression presented by
the girls at ASC, Pepperdene commented that the

Dr. Arthur S. Link, Honors Day speaker, chats with
Molly Pollitt outside Buttrick.

QUOTE OF THE WFFK

"She has hear a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay To

look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse

may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,

The Lady of Shalott.
And moving thro a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the
year,

Shadows of the world appear."

students are "as intellectually interesting as any
students I have taught anywhere" and that she has
stayed at ASC because of the students. "I wouldn't
have to work so hard if the students here were not
good. I could go out and play every night instead of
having to study.
As far as the notion that ASC students are prudes is
concerned, Pepperdine said that "one doesn't meet
many prudes in Chaucer. If they come in prudes -
they don't go out prudes."

Copple added that he didn't know if he wanted to
change our being known as prudish (if we had such an
image), if prudishness is a synonym for being moral.
He went on to say that if prudishness meant not
being human - being so stuffy that you are
embarrassed to hear a dirty joke, then this is just a
sign of immaturity in the girl and has nothing to do
with the college.

Expressing his opinion that ASC girls were not very
friendly, Copple went on to say, this snobbery
perception comes from my own observations of the
girls on campus." He added that he had never heard a
girl be discourteous but "if you speak to them while
walking across campus, they just look at you and
through you." Copple felt that this unfriendliness
might be due to a little intellectual arrogance or
perhaps "girls think they shouldn't speak to strange
males."

Other teachers complain that the girls are very
bright but are afraid to speak their mind to the
professor. From talking to students, Tumblin finds,
however, that the girls seem to be more afraid of each
other's disapproval than the teacher's. His own feeling
is that as opposed to eight years ago, students seem
more relaxed around teachers. Toward men, there is
less of th>e "I am a nice little girl; you are a professor;
I have to defer to you" attitude.

Copple found ASC's biggest hang-up to be the fact

that she was always looking over her shouldei ai
other schools-waiting for other schools to set
examples and never setting the trends herself. He feels
that we are much too concerned about our Image and

too little concerned with qualities we should be
concerned with.

Copple continued: "there is nothing so
disillusioning to our students as to find out that their
image of ASC was oversold. ASC should be concerned
more with BEING, rather than APPEARING to be,
and take our chances on public understanding. The
real questions should be do wewin our own? Do girls
at ASC really believe they are at a good place,
regardless of what others think?"

Copple felt that in a sense, the reason that students
are so concerned with what schools like Tech and
Emory think of ASC is because the studentsare not
sure that ASC is superior to others. He went on to say
that it isn't that we should ignore the opinions of
others but that we should care more about what WE
think of each other.

This looking over the shoulder shows immaturity
and uncertainty over what we are doing. There is an
awful paranoid flavor in judging ourselves by the
standar-ds of others Copple commented. He says that
others' don't have the right to define quality for us
and in dealing with what others say about us we
should ask ourselves "How right are they? Is ASC in
fact like that?"

One must conclude that although it is fun to see
yourself as others see you, what ultimately is
important is the ability to see yourself. Never worry
about answering the critics if you can answer to
yourself.

Prof. Link explains Wilson
'predestined Presbyterian'

hi/ WORM A CU A HPFM *

by NORMA SHAHEEN
Copy Editor

r "Woodrow Wilson was predestined to be a
Presbyterian," asserted Professor Arthur S. Link in
his first lecture at Agnes Scott. In a series of talks this
week, Honors Day speaker Link discussed various
aspects of Wilson's life, from his Calvinistic
Presbyterianism, to his leadership abilities, and his
diplomacy.

In the discussion "Woodrow Wilson's Faith in
Politics," Link explained many of Wilson's political
actions in terms of his unbending integrity and his
religious conviction. As a man who "literally wore
out several Bibles" Wilson was one of the few
political leaders in American history who articulated
a profound religious faith.

The Calvinist emphasis which dominated Wilson's
life was characterized by the idea that God governs
the universe through moral law and man could not
break that law. This outlook was coupled with his
belief in the futility of man's efforts since the power
of God controlled the affairs of men. Wilson
frequently saw his own solutions (such as the League
of Nations) as moral law, and therefore accepted few
compromises.

Link described Wilson as a natural leader in a
seminar "Woodrow Wilson, Leader of Men." As
President, Wilson used this leadership ability not only
to bring reforms, but also to bring more strength to
the office of the Presidency itself.

Wilson's ideas, Link felt, were overwhelmingly
favored by the people of the US. Even after the
Armistice, Americans favored the acceptance of the
League. Henry Cabot Lodge, a Republican leader in
the Senate, managed however to put a wedge between
Wilson's leadership and public opinion by appealing
to the isolationist tendencies of the US.

But Link did not accept the idea that the US

rejected idealism in its leaders after Wilson's failure.
He noted that lately the leaders who evoke the
greatest public response are those like Adlai
Stevenson, Eugene McCarthy, and Robert Kennedy.
"The US is now crying for leaders who can lift them
above the mundane and give them new visions."

In an interview, Link saw little similarity between
modern peace-pacifist movements and those which
came after World War 1. He feels that much of the
present movement is not true pacifism but a revulsion
to the war in Vietnam.

Link expressed the attitude that the war in
Vietnam is obviously futile and therefore immoral.
After Vietnam Link foresees that the US position will
be a retrenchment from over-extension. Link
indicated that there is today a "concensus on
over-extension" of US power and therefore the US
must realize the limits of American power. The
"messianism" of John Foster Dulles is being rejected,
but Link also emphasized that "isolationism is
impossible in the world we live in."

The hippie movement was also an object of Link's
comments. It represents to him a revolt against the
materialism of US society -- a yearning for simplicity
and innocence, and a hostility to the society which
gives them the privilege of being different. Link gave
the underlying cause of American materialistic values
when he commented, "My generation grew up
determined not be poor because we were poor." He
added however that the generation is also one of the
most philanthropic.

In a brief discussion of the drug situation in the US,
Link felt that the laws are bound to relax in reference
to marijuana. He predicted that within two to five
years marijuana would be either legalized or
possession would be only a misdemeanor.

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are those of the
majority of the editorial staff, unless signed by the author. They do not
necessarily represent the opinion of the administration or the student body.
Published weekly except for examination and holiday periods by students of
Agnes Scott College. Entered as second class matter at the Post Office, Decatur
Ga.

Thunder and Ashes

The incredible dependence of the Agnes Scott student
body upon the administration of the college was made clear
to the Senior Class on October 6. In a class meeting called,
in part, to elect "Who's Who," we were informed that a list
of nominees from the class would be presented to the
Administrative Committee for approval.

Although Sally Tucker did her best to "assure" us that
the Committee would acquiesce to the wishes of the Senior
Calss, in many minds the damage was already done. With
graduation only seven months away, one wonders if seniors
can be expected to mature rapidly enough to survive in the
workaday world of personal decisions - since so little is
thought of their discretion at this point.

This little incident is unimportant, however, except as an
example of the tacit inferiority of the student body on
every level. When Rep Council cannot issue a resolution
honoring a retiring dean without having it okayed and
when the need for the D. O. to have access to Judicial's
Warning File is seriously argued, it is quite clear that the
student body is not considered a responsible member of the
campus community.

The discontent mat sporadically erupts in upperclassmen
has an irritant, as does any suppuration. And we find that
grain of sand to be the realization of futility in action. One
questions the fact that we have self-government when the
SGA Constitution defines Rep as the INITIAL source of
legislative power, the co-ordinator of campus activities, and
the liaison between the administration and the student
body. On the face of it, Rep is a combination camp
counselor and Public Relations board.

Far more appalling is the fact that Rep has passively
accepted a counselor's role. The major issues of the quarter
are social privileges. How trite. Curfews are not the major
problem of the school.

If we concerned ourselves with social issues, with
political activity, with the creative intellect, there would be
no time for lengthy polemic on social regulations. Perhaps
we could even concern ourselves with the things more
applicable to ourselves instead of spinelessly following the
trends.

Doesn't growing discontent with the required curriculum
and with upper level courses have something to do with the
fact that many students feel that channels for creativity at
Scott are like the Martian canals Such channels simply may
not exist.

Doesn't the growing passivity of students have something
to do with faculty pleas for enthusiasm? Doesn't the fact
that Rep reproduces its own kind year after year have
something to do with its alienation from the student body?

Isn't it significant that Rep has no real function on this
campus unless it is representative of its electorate,unless it
serves as a communications center? More and more it
would seem that Rep has no function.

How can educated women be content with a situation of
perpetual deferral, of checking to find out whether ideas
are acceptable before they are discussed? We deny the
avowed purpose of life at Agnes Scott when we refuse to
demand responsibilities we are capable of performing.

And it is time to demand. The SGA constitution gives
Administrative Committee "Jurisdiction over matters
which involve more power than is designated" to SGA. The
question is, what power does Rep have? Merel/ the power
of initiation of legislation. Sounds good, of course - but
isn't that all Rep is, a lot of thunder and ashes.

Wouldn't it be easier not to think about the
problems of "responsibility" and "student power?" It
would of course, but some of us refuse to accept a vegetable
state. Won't YOU join us?

A street scene with two women
and several passersby.

Woman of society: Have you
heard what they're doing at our
lovely Agnes Scott College?

Other woman of society:
No-oo, oh did they finally get
that dear old man to teach
current events?

Woman of society: Current
events? Since when was that
important at a woman's college? I
tell you, Geraldine, I read the
paper everyday and there is
nothing good going on in the
world. Why we don't want our
young girls bothering themselves
about those dirty old hippies, and
those colored people are really
fussing these days. Besides, if I
remember they have enough
trouble with dates.

Other woman: Why do you
give so much money to help the

colored folk, then?

Woman of society: Because it's
the "in" thing to do these days,
my dear. Ot course the woman I
gave the money to was so
delighted with my concern that
she wanted me to go down and
teach reading Saturday
afternoons in the slum. Can you
imagine! ME down THERE with
THEM.

Other woman: Well, Rebecca,
what are they doing at Agnes
Scott that you were so anxious to
tell me about?

Woman of society: Sh- we must
keep this quiet. Agnes Scott girls
can now stay out all night!
The reputation of Agnes Scott
will be shattered. After all,
those girls should be growing
up the way we did into pillars
of the community.

Passer-by: Isn't it wonderful
what they re doing at Scott these
days? They have some great
tutoring projects. The girls are
actually going down in
underprivileged areas and helping
out kids. ..Yes, those girls are
quite capable. Agnes Scott now
has a rule stating that the girls
don't have to come in until eight
in the morning. Of course those
who don't want to stay out that
late can come in at
anytime. ..They must have a
tremendous amount of respect,
for those girls. Well they should.
After all, it's not every kind of
girl that is willing to exert herself
to the academic level required.

Woman of society: Did you see
those women? I think they were
talking about Agnes Scott.
The End?

Editor's Note: The following is
the first in a series of reports on
LIFE in Lausanne by PROFILE
foreign correspondents, Elizabeth
Jones and Patricia Johnston.
They will be in school at the
Chateau de Vennes, in
Switzerland until winter.

Chateau de Vennes
Lausanne (Suisse)
October 1, 1969
Today, Ladies, we shall discuss
two fascinating aspects of
European life: Cafe Society and
Communism.

As Patricia has only recently
arrived in Lausanne, 1 decided
that she must visit Cafe de la Paix
at least once. Cafe de la Paix is no
ordinary cafe; it is distinguished
not by its decor, but by its
clientele. In fact, it is the roosting
place of those richly plumed
members of what is known as the
Jet Set (sneer).

Feeling that we might need
some protection from these
predators, we took along Jose
Romero, the Chateau's resident
communist. As Jose exemplifies
the best in European manhood
(tall, dark, aristocratic, and above
all, Spanish), we did not feel
sullied by the relationship.
Rather, we felt a strong desire to
convert him. One discovers upon
arriving in Europe that exponents
of Communism often have the
most appealing characteristics,
namely velvet brown eyes and an
undulating swagger. Oh, Jose,
Jose, how we love the way you
lisp over the last consonants of
our names in that delightful
Castilian manner. Oh, Jose, how

we love the way you ... What an
animal! What a man!! But we
digress.

We arrived at Cafe de la Paix at
the correct hour: ten o'clock.
Jose kicked open the door with
his elegantly booted foot, and
casually flicked the ashes of his
Black Russian into one of those
omnipresent Cinzano ashtrays.
Meanwhile, Tricia and I prepared
ourselves for the deafening
silence that we knew would
follow. As their women modestly
averted their eyes, the men of La
Paix appraised us with the cold
scrutiny of experienced
connaiseurs.

Jose strode masterfully to a
table, brushing numerous
strutting playboys out of his way,
and commanded us to sit. We sat:
We then ordered our drinks, and
Jose, oblivious to the buzz of
international gossip, proceeded to
amuse us with his wit:

"American workers are the
umdimensional product of a
consumer soceity,'' he
commenced. "The tastes of the
workers are dictated by
government propaganda, and its
instrument, the communications
media." He smiled devilishly, and
leaned back in his chair as if
grappling with some deep
problem. "Dr. Zhivago, Bah!" he
said suddenly.

"Well?" we asked articulatly.
"Dr. Zhivago was a dirty
bourgeois pig."

We collapsed into maniacal
laughter, then attempted to
dissuade him, our three dark
heads bent so intently over the

table that any passerby would
have sworn we were planning a
revolution. However, it was no
use. We plied him with questions,
but Jose had an answer for
everything.

Thinking to trick him into
contradicting himself, we said,
"You dress awfully well for a
communist. No Bolshevik tailor
made that jacket!"

"This is not mine; it's my
mother's."

"Well, whatmakes you go after
younger girls, Jose?"

"They are the only ones I can
get."

Obviously, there was nothing
more to be said.

The waiter strolled over and
presented Jose with the bill. Jose
looked up, and freezing him with
a glance, tossed him a few coins
saying, ''Take these
unidimensional francs and use
them for the good of the working
masses."

It was only then that we
noticed the exodus of Ferraris
and Lamborguinis, on their way
to Montreux and Evian for a
night of dancing before beginning
more strenuous exercise.

The lights dimmed in Cafe de
la Paix. We departed, and Jose,
feeling exhilerated from the
effect of his Compari, patted
each of us appreciatively and
shouted, "Bim, bam, bum - up
with MaoTse Tung." We were
content to hum 4t The
International Communist." Oh,
Jose! Love and kisses,

Shaw's oomph makes

ne-third traditional Western
European Symphonic works.

Shaw pointed out that the
present century being more than
two-thirds past, many of these
works could no longer be termed
"modern." However, next year's
program will be designed to
include what he called "some
avante-garde crazy" pieces.

The Atlanta Symphony will
also have a composer in
residence, T. J. Anderson, who
now teaches music composition
at Western Tennessee. Anderson
is black, and Shaw indicated that
through him the Symphony
hopes to come into contact with
area (Southeastern U. S.)
composers, particularly young
black composers who have had
little chance to break into

As this special press conference
indicates, the Atlanta Symphony
is extremely eager to attract
students to concerts whose
contemporary nature is in itself
appealing to youth. To facilitate
our attendance, the Symphony
has made available a free discount
card for students which entitles
the holder to purchase one or
two seats at $2.00 each for the
dates indicated on the card (at
least one date for each series

A real advantage is that the

available, which often means the
best in the entire hall. Anyone

Repartee

SUSIE BORCUK

Rep Council has been debating.
What about? You name it.

At our Tuesday meeting, we
touched on everything from the
rewording of the campus date
policy to the definition of the
powers and the purposes of Rep
Council itself. And there were
plenty and varied opinions on
every issue.

There was general agreement,
however, on the issue involving
the most discussion: the
proposed "duo," RCs 75 and 76.
It was decided that they be sent
to the Rules Committee for
further investigation.

It is realized, especially after
the hall meetings, that many
student doubts exist about the
wording of the policies and about
the actual content of the
proposed RCs. Clarification by
Rules Committee should
facilitate discussion and help iron
out the many loopholes.

By no means have the
propositions been dropped. Rules
Committee is to report back to
Rep Council by the end of
October.

Don't miss this EXCITING bit
of NEWS: nevermore shall
proposed RCs be voted on during
the same meeting at which they
are introduced. From now on,
they will be posted in each hall
and around campus for at least
one week, and voted on by Rep
Council after students, faculty,
and Rep' Council members alike
have expressed opinions on the
issues.

A rehersal of two pieces, Peter
Mennin's "7th Symphony," and
Beethoven's Egmont Overture,"
was the opening to a press
conference called by the Atlanta
Symphony for Atlanta area
student press. After the orchestra
left the hall, Robert Shaw,
conductor, sat on the lip of the
stage and answered questions put
to him by the students.

Your correspondent (whose
chief qualifications for
representing Scott were untrained
enthusiasm and an available car)
was greatly impressed by Shaw's
ability to reach everyone present.

In answering the first question,
"What is the purpose of
presenting the Sunday afternoon
concerts in informal dress?"
Shaw gave a concise statement of
what he feels a symphony should
be.

He has initiated the practice of
allowing the musicians to wear
rehersal dress for the Sunday
series, and often following the
performance is a discussion of the
work or works presented.
Accustomed to the formal
atmosphere of the symphony,
some Atlantans, particularly
older ones, were nonplussed by
the shift to informality.

Shaw pointed out that,
especially in America where there
is no state subsidy for the arts,
the symphony has necessarily
derived much of its support from

by JANET LEVY
"The Feminine Mystique."
Betty Freidan. Dell Publishing
Company, New York. 380 pp. 95

According to an amateur
w e d d i n g- watcher's count,
approximately ten per cent of the
rising senior class took that big
step this summer. Apparently,
the desire for marriage was so
great that these girls were willing
to forego or hinder their final
year of college. And one wonders
what they will do with their
education if and when they
graduate.

Such are the points posed by
Betty Freidan in her much-touted
analysis of the plight of American
womanhood, "The Feminine
Mystique." Mrs. Freidan (yes, she
is married and has three children)
investigates "the problem that
has no name," that vague feeling
of discontent which is so
widespread among suburban
wives today.

The mystique of which Freidan
talks appears to be an accepted
social "push" in the direction of
housewifery and child-rearing.
Girls are taught from an early age
that their place is in the home-
and most important they are
promised self-realization and
fulfillment from a life totally
devoted to the care and feeding
of husband, children and a
four-bedroom, ranch-style house
in Suburbia. The point is tellingly
made that contemporary
educational institutions are prime
promoters of this myth.

The manipulation of the
American woman under this
myth is enough to rival anything
mass political propaganda has
ever achieved. She comes to view
herself as a creature removed
from a natural human pursuit of

large contributions by wealthy
families.

Consequently, it has come to
be regarded as the province of the
upper classes. To realize his hope
that the symphony will be
considered to belong to all who
enjoy it, Shaw regards the
informal programs as one attempt
to break the formalism of
"concert decorum."

He went on to speak of art as
"the center of human sanity,"
the facet of man which remains
true to humanity, supporting no
evil, but devoted to the
realization of the highest in
individual endeaver.

In a statement reminiscent of
what Hindesmith cites as "the
Augustinian precept in which our
mind absorbs musiic and
transforms it into moral
strength," Shaw called art the
most moral aspect of man
because of its internal integrity
and thrust toward excellence.

In answering subsequent
questions about how and why the
current programs are chosen for
performance Shaw outlined the
nature of next year's program.

The overall design of this year's
offering is a presentation of
contemporary works which have
become a part of the musical
mainstream. It is composed of
roughly one-third 20th century
American work one-third 20th
century European works, and

self. Her sexual being becomes all
important, as she frantically tries
to fulfill her sole social functions,
the pleasing of husband and the
production of children.

Finally, when the production
of more children becomes either
impossible or unreasonable, the
woman turns to housewifery -
and "housewifery expands to fill
the time available." Cleaning the
home until it is "spotless" with
the most modern of "space-age
appliances" becomes the avenue
for the employment of her
mental and physical capacities, an
avenue well travelled by
advertisers who exploit not only
creative frustration but also guilt
generated by the same
frustration. Obviously,
housekeeping requires
insufficient mental exertion to
satisfy the normal human Being.
How else the wide popularity of
the lowly soap opera?

Freidan does not argue against
marriage or the abandonment of
the home. Rather, she urges a life
for women in addition to
marriage. Seeking some reversal
of the trend toward younger and
younger marriages, she argues
that women should seek an
education, a profession, or an
active involvement in responsible
community positions. One does
not have to be a bra-burning
feminist to see value in a
woman's becoming a person in
her own right rather than in her
husband's. Only thus can she be a
true complement to her man.

Summarizing her rather lengthy
but well supported study,
Freidan concludes:

When women as well as men
emerge from biologican living to
realize their human selves, those

leftover halves of life may
become their years of greatest
fulfillment. ..And when women
do not need to live through their
husbands and children, men will
not fear the love and strength of
women, nor need another's
weakness to prove their own
masculinity. They can finally see
each other as they are^ And this
may be the next step in human
evolution.

"The Feminine Mystique" is a
fascinating book, certain to elicit
a strong reaction from the reader.
The type of reaction will depend
on how thoroughly immersed in
the mystique the woman already
is. But like i*\or not, Freidan has
included enough evidence so that
it is difficult to reject completely
the ideas she advances.

Freidan is not trying to destroy
the social fabric of American life.
Her suggestions could only
improve that culture of which we
are so proud, by bringing to it the
talents and creativity of a
presently unused half of society.
Perhaps once we have stopped
methodically endowing our
female population with the
neurosis of an empty life, we will
see a number of our more severe
social problems reduced, if not
eliminated.

This reader's attention was
directed to "The Feminine
Mystique" by the Freshman
Orientation Reading List. In view
of the import of the book's ideas,
it would well be moved from
"Suggested Reading" to
"Required Reading," where it
would encourage attention to the
"problem that has no name" at a
moment of crucial
decision-making.

Dance Group Chapel
to explore art forms

by GIN CRANE

The Vietnam Moratorium, to
take place on October 15, is an
effort to concentrate public
pressure to end the war by
involving a broad cross-section of
Americans. The major emphasis is
on involving more than the
academic community alone.

The method is a recurring
moratorium on "business as
usual" in the local community, in
order to increase participation in
anti-war programs. On a national
level, the moratorium is to
expand one day per month until
the war is ended.

The Vietnam Moratorium
Committee, organizers of the
protest, is headed by Sam Brown,
staff aide for Sen. Eugene
McCarthy in 1968; David Mixner,
member of the McGovern
Commission for Reform of the
Democratic Party; and David
Hawk, draft resister. The idea for
the campus moratorium came
from a Massachusetts group. Mass
PAX (Political Action for Peace).

The term 1 'strike'' is avoided by
the Committee-. As Brown said,
"We don't want to cripple
universities or shut them down,
but simply to use them as a base
for working against the war."

Activities on the Agnes Scott
campus have been organized by
NSA committee and FORUM
NSA co-ordinator Myki PoweU
stressed that the planned program
is for the education and benefit
of the entire campus, no matter
what the political convictions.

The activities will be chiefly
educational since it was felt that
few students were adequately
prepared to form an opinion on
Vietnam at this time.

Transportation will be provided
on October 12 to attend a lecture
by William Sloan Coffin, famed
draft protester and chaplain at
Yale, at Emory University. Those
interested should contact Myki
Powell, Sherry Roberts, or
Norma Shaheen.

On October 15, the day of the
national moratorium, a booth
will be set up in front of the
dining hall at lunch by students
willing to discuss personal
convictions and the anti-war
student movement. Reading
material will be available.

A symposium under the
direction of Carolyn Cox is
planned for 4 p.m. in Rebekah
Rec. Room. Various aspects of
the war will be explored by
professors. The discussion is
designed to stimulate individual
research and to strengthen
personal views. Professors
participating are Hanson, Parry,
Westervclt, Moomaw, and
Bicknese. A round table
discussion at 5:30 p.m. will
conclude the symposium.

Plans at other Atlanta area
schools are tentative as of press
time. However, leafleting will go
on all day and a candlelight
march has been planned. A
schedule of Atlanta area events
will be available at a later date.

omment on
rat word's
peech.

Many comments came in about
the use of "ain't" in formal
English. One panelist called this
word a "bastard contraction."
Another panelist, columnist
Russell Baker, said that"ain't" is
acceptable only when someone is
saying "I'm being deliberately
illiterate."

Several members also showed
their preference for "It is me" as
opposed to the pedantic "It is I."
They felt that the latter term,
though correct, was too prissy.

Editor-in-Chief for the new
project is William Morris, author
of "Dictionary of Word and
Phrase Origins" and the daily
newspaper feature "Words, Wit
and Wisdom."

Heaven help the college when
this gets around. Such prodigal
carelessness could,
conceivably, hasten the
melting of the great ice
storage and squander the gift
of the glaciers.

The morning Chapel hour to-
day, October 10, will give the
freshmen (and any other students
who are interested) an opportun-
ity to expand their creative po-
tential. The Agnes Scott dance
group challenges them to set
aside all inhibitions and reach out
to explore the new world of
experimental art forms.

The rains have withdrawn to
hide behind sunshine, and hori-
zons have lifted in these first
weeks of academic endeavor. But
somehow the dampness left its
mark in the form of a shrinkage
problem. The bricks of Buttrick
and the books of the library seem
to be closing in on our summer
freedoms. Those of us with claus-

trophobia realize that we must
find a release from the narrowing
world that threatens to smother
us under its intellectual blanket.

Reach out, fair mind! Answer
to the pleas of a searching mind,
of a willing body, of a longing
spirit!

In the exploration of interpre-
tive dance, the dance group will
explain the purpose and possibili-
ties of dance. Demonstrations of
improvization will be exhibited as
well as finished productions.
Come to explore what is happen-
ing outside the black and white
page, beyond the walls of a col-
lege campus, within the cells of a
creative mind, agile body and
grasping spirit.

ASC observes Moratorium

with

symposium,

" - by NORMA SHAHEEN

Copy Editor

CA service

Sir John Rothenstein and Wallace M. Alston,
president of the college, display Sir John's recent gift
to the school.

Sir John presents
'Apples' to ASC

A recent addition to the collection of art at Agnes
Scott College is an oil painting by the granddaughter
of Queen Victoria.

"Apples" by Lady Patricia Ramsay is a gift to the
college from Sir John Rothenstein, British art critic
and author, who is visiting professor of art history for
the fall quarter at Agnes Scott.

In presenting the painting to President Wallace M.
Alston, Sir John noted that Lady Patricia, as a
member of the Royal Family, has been "too often
considered an amateur, when she is, in fact, a gifted
and serious professional artist."

Lady Patricia, born Princess Patricia of Connaught,
is the youngest daughter of the Duke of Connaught
and Strathearn, sometime Governor-General of
Canada, the third and favorite sone of Queen
Victoria. She is a member of the New English Art
Club, the Royal Water Colour Society, and is
Colonel-in-Chief of Princess Patricia's Canadian Light
Infantry.

Sir John was formerly director of the Tate Gallery
in London and was Lord Rector of the University of
St. Andrews in Scotland. Eminent in art circles
throughout his life, Sir John has published two
volumes of his autobiography under the titles,
Summer's Lease and Brave day. Hideous Night.

AN ESTIM \TED 200 Agnes Scott students.,
faculty, an^ administration participated in
Wednesday's Vietnam symposium. Held in observance
of the nationwide moratorium, the seminar was
sponsored by NSA and Forum and was one of several
activities in which Agnes Scott was involved.

Forum and NSA also provided information leaflets
at booths in front of the dining hall and in the mail
room. Professors led discussions on Vietnam; in some
classes others asked for moments of silent meditation.

Over 30 Agnes Scott students joined the candlelight
march through downtown Atlanta to protest the war
and demand U.S. withdrawal. A memorial candlelight
service on campus was sponsored by Christian
Association. Students gathered in the quad for a
service led by Sherry Roberts.

VARIOUS ASPECTS of the war were explored at
the symposium, the most widely attended activity on
campus. Five Agnes Scott professors and two guest
speakers were on the agenda of the program. Carolyn
Cox moderated the discussion.

Gabriel Hanson of the political science department
opened the program with a brief history of Southeast
Asia and Vietnam. Hanson noted that after the
French defeat in 1954, the United States, "at
nobody's request" assumed responsibility to see that
Vietnam didn't go Communist.

He also declared that Diem and many other of the
past and present officials of the governments the
United States has allowed South Vietnam to have are
refugees from North Vietnam. By and large, these
men collaborated with the French and the Japanese,
since as wealthy Catholic landowners they benefited
from the protection of foreigners.

HANSON BLAMED widespread public apathy for
letting Vietnam happen and predicted many more
such conflicts unless an informed electorate makes
this alternative impossible.

Edmund Moomaw, also of the political science
department, asserted that the political circumstances
in which President Nixon finds himself require U.S.

withdrawal. Nixon's primary goal, Moomaw believes,
is reelection in 1972, and he is astute enough
politically to realize that withdrawal from Vietnam is
necessary for him to be reelected.

Robert Westervelt, associate professor of art,
emphasized a basic problem in American thinking.
"Why do we feel we have the right or the insight to
control Asians?" He felt that the U.S. must abaondon
its messianic anti-communist foreign policy and
refuse to be the pawns of a military-industrial
complex.

CALVIN BUTTS, vice-president of the Morehouse
student body, noted the similarity between what the
United States is doing to blacks in the U.S. and what
it is attempting to do to the National Liberation
Front in Vietnam. He chided his audience for asking
him (someone from a different situation) to speak
instead of having an Agnes Scott student.

Gunter Bicknese, professor of German,
discussed the effect the Vietnam war is having on our
image in Europe. He also emphasized the fact that in
the present world situation Americans cannot use the
terms, "communist and socialist" as synonymous
with criminal.

Richard Parry, assistant professor of philosophy,
felt that those who favor the war in Vietnam must
accept the premise that there is no worse alternative
than a Communist takeover. He felt that the hardship
and destruction the U.S. was causing to secure an
unrepresentative regime, as well as the loss of faith by
American youth in the viability of democratic
processes, were prices too great to pay for South
Vietnam.

Hamilton Jordan, an American who had worked
with the Vietnamese people as a member of the
International Volunteer Services was the final
speaker. He emphasized to the audience that the
Vietnamese people are the tragic losers in the
conflict. He also maintained that the Vietnamese
concept of government is very bad, no matter who
the ruling power may be.

Tech frat men discuss image

with complaints, compliments

by JANICE JOHNSTON
Feature Editor

TECH FRATERNITY MEN have definite opinions
on the Agnes Scott Image and Scotties and were quite
willing to speak openly when interviewed. In general,
the comments were quite complimentary. Sigma Nu,
SAE, ATO, TKE and KA fraternities, in, particular,
had only nice things to say about the school and the
girls. The boys interviewed were unanimous in their
opinion that academically ASC was an excellent, high
quality school.

Concerning the social image of the school, answers
such as "psuedo conservative," "real-refined prison
for girls", "status school for rich, southern girls," etc,
were received. But the overall impression seemed to
be held by the boys, summed up by a Phi Delt who
said "things are finally beginning to pick up."

Along these same lines, a TKE commented "I don't
think Scott has to worry about its reputation~at least
not among the people who know Scott girls. Scott's
progression in rules has helped the reputation and
image. It treats you more like women instead of little
girls." ATO expressed his opinion that Dr. Alston was
a progressive president willing to change with the
times.

The one big gripe concerning the rules at Scott was
the early curfew. As one Sigma Chi put it "The 1:00
time limit is such a bad scene! It is so childish and
Victorian to round up the girls at such an ungodly
hour. The ridiculous curfew discourages many boys
from dating over there." A Beta commented that "if
you go to a party that ends at 12:00, it is really
pushing it to get back at 1:00."*

ANOTHER COMPLAINT voiced chiefly by
freshmen fraternity men was the amount of red tape
they had to go through to get to their dates. "It was

like going through a parole board to get my date" one
freshman complained. He went on to describe his first
traumatic date at Scott:

' I walked in the main building and there stood this
Long line of boys waiting to use the ONE measly
phone in the whole place. After waiting 30 minutes
for the phone I finally called and told my date I was
here. After another 30 minutes she decides that she
will come down. Just as I begin to calm down and we
are fixing to leave the campus, my date starts
screaming something about how her card is on IN
instead of OUT. By this time I was beginning to
wonder if my date was retarded or something. It took
another 1 5 minutes for her to go fix her damn card so
we could go. I wouldn't go through something like
that again for Raquel Welch."

THE NEGATIVE COMMENTS about Scotties as
dates seemed to follow a definite pattern. Some of
the comments made were as follows:

"Most of the fraternity dates at another school
because the girls are freer morally, less intelligent and
know now to whoop it up".

"A Scott girl is the kind of girl who says goodnight
and then goes to bed."

' The girls tend to be too sophisticated at times and
cross over to where theyare snobbish."

"The girls are very reserved, cold, too strict on
kissing."

"Generally speaking Scotties are not good dates on
the first date. Being sophisticated and conservative, it
takes them longerto relax."

"Sophisticated, fun-loving girls, but unfortunately
not all action."

On the other hand some very posititve statements

were expressed. Une KA senior said that he

had never dated anywhere except Scott since he had
been at Tech because, "the girls are sophisticated,
fun-loving and intelligent enought to be able to carry
on a good conversation." Another KA commented
that "if there are any prudes at ASC, I have never
been exposed to them."

AN SAE REPORTED that his fraternity had the
utmost respect for Scott girls and dated at Scott more
than any other place. Another SAE commented that
he preferred to date a girl who was intelligent, fun,
and respectable. Several ATO'S said that they had
dated at Scott more than any place else because
Scotties were "great dates".

Scotties were described as well-rounded girls and
enjoyable dates by TKE fraternity men. They
continued by saying that Scott girls had been used as
Rush girls by the fraternity "because we know the
girls will conduct themselves in a lady-like manner
and that they will give the rushees a good impression
of the type of girls we like to have at our house."

It was rather humorous to note that one boy, after
spending 20 minutes cutting down the school and

r Is, later admitted that he had lined up dates with
Scott girls for the next three weekends. After I
pointed out this seeming contradiction, the boy
laughingly said "Well, just because I cut them down
doesn't mean that I don't want to date them." Rather
confusing, huh?An ATO ventured this observation,
"Although Scott girls catch a lot of kidding, when it
comes down to brass tacks, the girls are admired and
respected-I wouldn't date anywhere else."

To be concluded next week.

Open channels?

The Student Power Convocation on October 15 was of
great interest to all on this campus, since it was supposed
that the whole concept was to be discussed. In that respect
the meeting was a disappointment. However, several things
Marjorie Duncan, associate editor of the Spellman
"Spotlight," said were certainly arresting.

She spoke at length on the necessity of concerted action
and asked the assembled students, "are you willing to work
for change?" The response was babble. Marjorie went on th
say that student willingness to work was not necessary as
long as support was given Student Government leaders who
were interested in change.

The implications of this statement, fn terms of our own
student body, are frightening. The precedent is already set
by the delegation of power into the body of Rep Council.
Agreed, small groups work better and faster than large
ones.

However, on the Agnes Scott campus, delegation of
power also means delegation of concern. -the problem being
both student disinterest and the failure of Representatives
to concern themselves with their electorate.

How little pressure we exert on our leaders. Has the
Senior Class, for example, ever instructed its delegation on
how to vote on an issue? Has the Senior Class or any other
ever been informed of issues than announcements, even in
its Rep Council notes? Has any class called its
Representatives to account for their actions in any way
outside of passive acceptance of the same cursory Notes?
Not within the memory of man.

It seems to follow that Rep is somewhat unresponsive
since its members choose to ignore their power base.
Indeed, the general feeling on campus is that Rep is
non-representative. Whether this feeling results from Rep's
own indolence or the student body's is a moot point, but
the question of a broad base of support for change can
certainly be raised.

How many of us know about the new committee to be
appointed by Rep to work with Dean Jones on re-vamping
social regulations? How many of us care enough to come to
the Rep meeting Tuesday to hear her explanations of the
idea?

But even here the question is not that of individual
concern but the collective responsibility of students to
make their wishes known to their delegates.

There has been a lot of double-talk about communication
coming from Rep, which must be discounted in the light of
their actions. For example, The formation of this
committee, no matter how good the idea or the possible
results is a perpetuation of the hierarchial orientation of
Rep, just as is the non-discontinuation of hall meetings in
the face of student interest. Some of us were under the
mistaken impression that those meeting were a chance for
students to express themselves. They were instead only an
opportunity for Rep members to take the pulse of the
moribund.

It seems that we already have the small group interested
in change that Marjorie suggested. The question is, will that
small group allow students to support them? They may not
want us, but they will need us in the end.

CARREL 7

by Hoefer'

One particularly gratifying
element which lay back of many
proposals discussed at retreat was
the resolution that we should
explore and evaluate what we
find to be valuable about Agnes
Scott. Two important
assumpitons are implied in this
resolution: 1) that behind the
proliferating details such as rules,
traditions, and policies we
confront at Scott there do lie
originating concepts, and 2) that
if, upon exploring these concepts
we find that they are perverted
by some of the rules, traditions
or policies mistakenly built
around them, we must dispose of
the perverting details; or if we
find the concept itself to be
valueless, we must dispose of it.

This resolution calls for a
course of action which differs
radically from student
government's usual mode of
operation. Perhaps because of its
inferior status in the structure
which governs policy-making at
Agnes Scott, student government
has traditionally dealt only with
specific problems, usually rule
changes. From a motive,
variously attributed to excessive
timidity or judicious realization
of its limited influence, rep
council has never been able to ask
for what we really need a
complete reevaluation and
overhaul of all of the rules,
particularly social rules.

Pertinent to Student
Government's role in such an
innovation is the statement of
one of our trustees at retreat who
admonished us for gearing our
requests to preconception of
what is expected us, and advised
us to act according to to our own
thoughts of what is needed. We
might all keep this in mind
instead of bowing to the sacred
cow of "what we can get" from
the administration.

With the emphasis upon
conceptual thought initiated at
retreat/ we need to base an
overhaul on student concensus of
what we feel to be valuable about
our college. The major opposition
to such a change would come
from those who are fearful of
anything other than gradual
action. However, unless some

thought is given to what ideals lie
behind the rules we should have,
the present situation will only
continue in slightly altered form.

We are disturbed now by the
fact that we have an enormous
number of rules, some of which
seem terribly confining and
meaningless. We would continue
to waste our time fencing with
details, and creating more details
for future student governments,
unless we attempt to establish
some bases for regulation and
build a workable system upon

them.

A sort of "children's crusade"
against a particular rule is far
more exciting than an evaluation
of concepts it is so much easier
to rally around a specific,
tangible grievance. 1 believe this
year's student government sees
the need for undertaking the
more difficult but finally far
more valuable course of
reevaluation and reconstruction
and hope that it has the stamina
to do so.

Editor's note: the following
column, a permanent addition to
the PROFILE, deals with events
on other campuses of some
interest to Agnes Scott. Items are
culled campus newspapers.

A bill giving unrestricted hours
to coed seniors, 21 -year-old
coeds, graduate students, and
juniors and sophomores with
parental permission went into
effect at Clemson University
August 22.

The move for no-hours for
Clemson co-eds began in
February of this year when a bill
eliminating all regulations
compelling students to be in
dormitories at specific hours
was passed unanimously by the
student senate.

There are three major points to
the new "No-Hour" rule at
Clemson:

(1) Fach coed who has
unlimited hours must have with
her a regular student
identification card and a curfew
identification card which she
must show to the clerk on duty
in order to leave or enter the
dorm after regular hours.

(2) A coed with unrestricted
hours must sign her special
yellow in-and-out card indicating
that she will spend the night out
of the dorm and if so where she

ean be reached in case ot
emergency.

(3) All other coeds out of the
dorms after closing time must go
by the police department in order
to get into their dorm.

Graduate students and a retired
serviceman will serve as night
clerks at the coed dorms. These
clerks will permit access to the
dorms to girls with proper
identification.

New Schlicker organ
to fill empty Maclean

by ELLEN WILLINGHAM

For those of you who haven't
noticed, there is definitely
something lacking in Maclean
Auditorium this year. The organ,
which once occupied a space to
the left of the stage, and from
which emanated tuneful strains
of piccolos and bassoons, has
been removed. But this sound of
silence is soon to be remedied.

According to Raymond J.
Martin, professor music, a new II
Manual and Pedal Tracker organ
has been ordered to replace the
old one. The new organ, designed
after the classical organ of
seventeenth-century Germany,
will have "a little more musical
sound than the previous one,"
Martin said. He commented that
the new organ, based on principal
and flute tone, will have thirteen
ranks and eleven stops, and is
being designed so that three
additional ranks <can be added.
Martin pointed out that this
organ will be able to be rolled
around, in addition to being a
self-contained unit.

The new organ is being built by
the Schlicker Organ Company of
Buffalo, New York. Martin said

that Herman Schlicker, president
of the company, came to Agnes
Scott in the fall of 1967 to look
at Maclean, and that Schlicker
himself will do the final voicing
of the instrument. Martin added
that this organ is to be quite
similar to one that was installed
at The University of North
Carolina two years ago.

When asked what was wrong
with the old organ, Martin listed a
number of its ailments: it had
leather parts that were wearing
out, it was in need of repair, and
it was rather poorly installed in
the first place.

For anyone who has a
sentimental attachment to the
old organ, there is a note of
consolation. Martin explained
that the organ has been bought
by a church, which will probably
rebuild it.

Although plans were made for
the new organ to arrive last
summer, Mr. Martin said it
probably cannot be expected
before winter quarter Martin
added that he was il very eager
and excited, ' and feels that the
new instrument will be a ''real
musical contribution."

Concern, not accord
stressed by Coffin

by TYLER McFADDEN

William Sloane Coffin, Yale
University chaplain, spent two
days at Emory during the past
weekend, ostensibly in order to
rally people in this area to
participate in the Vietnam
Moratorium on October 15. The
soul of the man was, however,
greater than the immediate issue,
and in his lecture Sunday, Coffin
dealt with greater evils than a war
on the other side of the globe.

Just as many have attacked him
for his stand on the war, so
Coffin was attacked Sunday for
his lack of specificity on the issue
of Vietnam. Many of his audience
followed far more readily his
views on violence and poverty in
our nation and the plight of our
universities.

He insisted that the historic
and best role of the unversity has
been to play the Socratic gadfly,
a role it seems to be reassuming.
This outlook on the whole fabric
of our society is the greatness of
the man and the minister.

The minister, too, was
attacked during a question id

answer period after his speech. A
young man in the audience
quoted a passage from the New
Testament asking why Coffin had
not incorporated Christianity
into his views on the war.
Coffin's answer was quick, "I
don't go around telling everyone
how much I love my wife, do
you?"

This statement and another,
"Violence is an expression of
concern. ..of charity, it may not
be the best, but inaction is a sign
of egotism," exemplify his
philsophy. There, in a nutshell, is
the essence of the man and the
minister who happens right now
to be campaigning against a war
in Vietnam. When he wins that
battle he may turn to fight our
own national egotism.

LSD and don't intend to. Most
also disapprove of sexual
promiscuity and adhere to
traditional religious beliefs.

These are some of the major
findings of a nationwide survey
of student attitudes toward
American institutions, and of
their values and beliefs. It was
made at colleges and universities,
large and small, public, private
and religious.

The survey was commissioned
by Standard Oil Company (New
Jersey) and was made by Roper
Research Associates. The Roper
study, which sampled attitudes of
1 ,000 male seniors, 500 freshmen
and 673 alumni from 96 colleges
and universities in all parts of the
country, was initiated in the
spring of 1968 when campus
unrest was attracting increasing
attention.

Students' actual experiences
and attitudes toward such
matters as drugs, sex and religion
differ sharply from some popular
impressions. On these subjects
students were asked to fill out a
confidential special form. This
was returned to the interviewer in
a sealed envelope to avoid
possible embarrassment and to
ensure frankness. Less sensitive
subjects were surveyed by verbal
interviews.

Only 24 percent of all seniors,
for example, have ever tried
marijuana. A majority of these
have used the drug two or three
times at the most. Only nine
percent of the students described
themselves as occasional or
frequent users. LSD has been
used experimentally by a very
small number of seniors - 3
percent.

Students who are highly critical
of American society and those
active in student political
movement are more inclined to
use drugs than others, Jersey
Standard's study shows. But,
even in this group, occasional or
habitual users are a comparatively
small minority.

Although most students have
not used drugs and show no
interest in them, there is
considerable feeling that
marijuana laws should be
liberalized. Almost half the
seniors think the sale of
marijuana should be made legal
but under controls such as with
liquor. The same does not apply
to LSD; only 7 percent would
legalize its sale.

Freshmen agree with seniors in
their attitudes toward both drugs.
Alumni, however take a harder
line. Proposed legalized sale of

If the supposed "sexual
revolution" is really occurring on
the college campus, Roper
Research Associates found little
evidence of it. Far from being
promiscuous, most freshmen and
nearly half of the seniors say that
they are either opposed to
pre-marital sexual relations or
believe they should be limited to
women they expect to marry.

Concepts of religion vary, of
course, with the individual, but a
majority of the students and
alumni might be called religious.
Most expressed a belief in God as
either a Supreme Being or a
governing force that guides the
universe.

God was defined in four
different ways in the study.
Students were asked to select the
description that best expressed
their views. The largest number
of seniors - 33 percent - chose
the most orthodox definition,"
"the Supreme Being who rewards
and punishes."

Only 8 percent of the seniors
said they belonged to no religion.
Freshmen are stronger in their
beliefs than seniors; alumni, less
so. This would seem to indicate
some lessening of faith with the
passage of years.

Organized religion, as
distinguished from personal
religious beliefs, comes in for
considerable criticism from
students and alumni alike. Only a

constructive movement
responsive to the needs and mood
of the times." A large majority
think organized religion has only
recently begun to "get with" the
times or is still badly out of
touch with society's current
needs.

There is some indication that
students' moral opposition to the
Vietnam war may not be as
widespread as generally supposed.
This showed up when the seniors
were asked to give their views on
military service and the draft.
Although about a third of the
students expect to go into
military service right after
graduation, almost the same
number will try to avoid it -25
percent by legal means, 2 peroint
by any means, including going to
jail if it comes down to that.

Of the anti-draft group, only
29 percent specifically cited the
"immoral war in Vietnam" as the
reason for their aversion to
military service. A majority's
reason: "I have better things to
do." By "better hings", they
presumably referred to graduate
studies or the pursuit of a chosen
career. The others said frankly
that they didn't want to get
killed.

The survey also tends to deflate
another popular impression - the
prevalence of the so-called
k "generation gap. Fully
two-thirds of the freshmen and
seniors reported that they and
their parents agree on most

Investiture - a few
changes this year

Saturday, October 25, marks the date of this year's
Senior Investiture at Agnes Scott. Julia T. Gary, Dean
of the Faculty, in commenting upon the tradition
behind this annual event said: "This was a ceremony
which was symbolic of a senior assuming the
privileges and responsibilities of being a senior
academically and of having the leadership on campus
and general influence that any senior has." She
explained that at Investiture, the senior has her hat
placed upon her head, a symbolism which is
completed with the turning of the tassle from left to
right at the graduation ceremony.

This year, for the first time, the dean of the
faculty, and not the dean of students, will perform
the ceremony at Investiture. Miss Gary said that this
year, the seniors had wanted something different,
since Miss Scandrett was no longer here and since the
service was mainly related to academic affairs,
anyway. Another change that will be noticed at this
year's ceremony is the absence of the stoll that
seniors used to kneel on, so that Miss Scandrett, with
her limited height, could reach the tops of their
heads.

The ceremony will begin at ten o'clock Saturday
morning, with an academic procession of faculty and
seniors, and an honor guard of sophomores. Margaret
W. Pepperdene, chairman of the department of
English, was chosen by the seniors to be their speaker
at the service. Miss Gary added that any
underclassman who wanted to could come to this
service as long as there are enough seats for others.

After the Investiture service, the faculty adn
administration will have a coffee on Winship Terrace
Terrace. On Sunday morning, President and Mrs.
Alston will act as host and hostess at a breakfast in
the dining hall for seniors and their parents. At eleven
o'clock, there will be a church service, conducted by
Dr. Harry Beverly, minister of Riverside Presbyterian
Church in Jacksonville, Florida in Gaines Auditorium.
The collection at this service will go to a charity
selected by the senior class. The Glee Club will
provide special music at the church service, and
Camille Holland, a senior, will play the organ.

Decatur image of Scott girl
much ado about... bare feet?

by JANICE JOHNSTON
Feature Editor

For the concluding article on the ASC image, 1
went into most of the stores on the square in Decatur
and interviewed customers, sales ladies and shop
owners. Some of the answers received were absolutely
hysterical, while other were very informative.

IN GENERAL, most of the people interviewed felt
that Scott was a very "fine" school which had the
"elite in intelligence". Everyone seemed to agree that
Scott girls were rich, brainy, friendly, polite, and
sweet. It soon became apparent that each of three
groups of people interviewed (elderly women, young
men, and shop owners and sales clerks) was
concerned with different aspects of Scott.

The elderly ladies all dwelt on the religious aspect
of Scott. When one lady was asked her impression of
Agnes Scott, she replied, "Well, you see my dear, I
was reared a Presbyterian, so I have the utmost
respect for any Presbyterian school". To the same
question another replied, "Even though I am not a
Presbyterian, many of my friends are, and I respect
Agnes Scott.

A classic reply came from the little old lady who
said, "I'm sure Agnes Scott is a good school since it is
run by the church." This same lady continued, "My
goodness, I am so thankful that there have been no
riots and blood shedding at Agnes Scott." Trying to
keep a straight face, I assured the lady that riots and
blood shedding were highly improbable at dear old
Agnes.

YOUNG MEN INTERVIEWED had a high opinion
of Agnes Scott's academic reputation. However, most
of the men expressed the opinion that a coed school
was to be preferred over an all-girls school. As one
put it, "I don't like the idea of a school not being
coed. The students at Agnes Scott will get a false view
of society, since they are isolated from the opposite
sex."

The replies really became interesting and amusing
with interviews of shop owners and sales ladies.
Although all of the remarks were prefaced by
comments on how polite and friendly ASC girls were,
the conversation usually wound up about the BIG
CHANGE which had taken place in Scotties this year.
The first inkling of what was to come was the
comment of a sales lady in one of the stores, who said
that the ASC image had gone down in the past 3
years, but particularly this year.

She proceeded to say that she used to be able to
spot a Scottie because of her neatness and
well-dressed look. "There was a time when Scott girls
were not allowed to wear slacks to town" she said,
"but one day a girl came into the store
BAREFOOTED!" According to this lady, the
Decatur shopowners have changed their image of ASC
girls because of the "odd balls" who go around
barefooted. As she put it "One bad hitch-hiker ruins
it all."

Scientific art
Staven's style

vt In my early work, which was abstract
expressionistic in style, I was concerned with
technical developments which resulted in paintings
restricted to emotional contents. Because of my
desire to achieve a balance between the motional and
the intellectual, and my interest in science and
technology, I have evolved a style of painting in
which I have utilized scientifuT concepts and
symbols." So stated Leland Staven in an explaination
of his work 'urrently on exhibit in the Dana Fine
Arts Building.

When asked how he arrived at his use of sectional
canvases which unite to form the total work, Staven
replied that he frequently used as a "recurring theme
the idea of pictorially describing the three relative
levels of the universe

BAREFOOT BETTY must have really made the
rounds in Decatur one day, because many mentioned
the "sight." One saleslady said she was so infuriated
at seeing an Agnes Scott girl walk into the store
barefooted that she walked up to the girl and asked
her, "Does Dr. Alston know you are not wearing
shoes? The Scottie replied that she just felt like
going barefooted that day and assured her that Dr.
Alston had no idea of her shoeless condition.

Another sales lady described a "sloppy Scotty"
that had come into her store with a "worn-out pair of
blue jeans, shoddy shoes, no make-up, dirty, stringy
hair, an un-ironed blouse and curlers." (I have yet to
figure out how the lady could have noticed the
"dirty, stringy hair" if it was in curlers).

A Decatur gift shop owner commented that "up to
this year I could spot a Scott girl. She always had on
hose or socks and dressed neatly. Now I can hardly
detect them from the traditional hippy. Some of
them really look raunchy." He then asked me if I
knew what he saw the other day and knowing what
was coming 1 said, "Oh, did she come in here too?
"Yes she did", he replied "can you believe a Scott girl
without shoes on? The owner of a record shop
replied, fhat Scotties were "overdoing it in informality
and looked like something off the 14th street."

A FEW SHOP owners were able to see beyond bare
feet. A jewelry owner commented on the fact that he
could alwa/s spot a Scott girl, saying that "the way
the girls dress may have changed in the past year, but
so have the styles. The Scott girls still act like ladies
and that is what really counts."

A dry cleaner owner observed that "many of the
shopowners that had been here a long time
remembered when Scott girls could not come to town
unless they had on high heels, Sunday dress, gloves,
etc. That's why they find the change in dress so
shocking. The Scott girls couldn't be expected not to
change with the times and styles and they are just as
stable and sweet as always."

IN CONCLUDING the study on the ASC Image, I
think it is relevant to go back to some comments
made by Dr. Copple. Perhaps it has been fun to see
ourselves as others see us, but no one is going to rush
right out and make a complete overhaul of
themselves. As Dr. Copple says, "it isn't that we
should ignore thy opinions of others but that we
should care more about what WE think of each
other". Nevertheless, I think the Editor of the Emory
"Wheel" summed it up nicely when he said, "Scotties
are endowed with a high degree of intelligence and
wit, quite capable of possessing an acid tongue or
purring charm. They are the epitome of Southern
sophistication undergirded with a calculating coolness
which propels them into the forefront of things.

Abdication . . .

The human mind at work is beautiful to behold. On thai
premise Rep Council meetings must be profoundly
depressing even for the PROFILE editor in search of an
editorial. Under a facade of logic and great concern lies a
seemingly bottomless pit of "blindness" to the implications
and ramifications of decisions made by that body.

For instance, at the October 21 meeting, RE-75,
concerning extension of LTL, was rescinded on the grounds
that it was not impossible to get it through Administrative
Committee (which will not sit during Dr. Alston's vacation)
and to "educate" the campus about it before winter
quarter.

It was also considered useless to work out the policy and
creat extra work for Dean Jones' Social Regulations
Committee who would then have to re-examineit in terms
of all their other work, rather than revamping LTL
themselves.

This reasoning seems to have been based on the thought
that the SR committee, which now ranks with the
philosopher's stone in its wondrous powers to change dross
into pure gold, will do a much better job if it concerns
itself with all social regulations in one lump. This may or
may not be true.

What concerns us however is Rep's willingness to
abdicate its position of legislative iniative to a
non-legislative committee and to sit quietly by for an
unspecified amount of time, receiving report from the
committee of course, with little else on the agenda.

It seems to us that simply from a desire to finish a job
and with some small degree of success, that Rules
Committee should have completed work on the policy at
hand. Who knows but that their efforts would have
alleviated one of the problems of the SR committee.
Perhaps two plans would have ben the result, but that
certainly would not be horrible. How exciting for Rep to
have c choice other than yea or nay.

Let us make it clear that the PROFILE considers the idea
of this SR committee a good one. Hopefully, its evaluation
of social regulations will be one that all can subscribe to.
Nevertheless, if its success results in an even more
dependent Rep the gain seems hardly worth the loss.

Letters to the Editor

To the editor of the Profile and to the Agnes Scott Community:
The news commentators tell us that October 1 5 wp an historic day
in the history of our country. I submit that it was also an historic day
at Agnes Scott College. Although the N.S.A. convocation on "student
Power" scheduled last spring fell, coincidentally, on the same day as
the nationwide Moratorium on Viet Nam, and consequently there
was some confusion about the relationship between the two issues, 1
was convinced by the end of the day that they were very definitely
connected.

The convocation speakers attempted to stimulate student thought,
student involvement, student commitment. And on that same day
200 student and faculty members participated in a stimulating, high
quality symposium on the war; many of our professors joined with a
larger group in the Atlanta area for a candlelight march to City Hall,
and at the end of the day the Agnes Scott Quad was filled with
students offering their light, their songs, and their meditations to
peace in a service sponsored by C.A. All of this, I believe, was
exciting expression of thought, involvement, and commitment.

Myki Powell, N.S.A., Forum, C. A. are all to be congratulated on
their enthusiastic work in planning our part in the Moratorium. But
along with them this entire community deserves congratulations, not
the kind of congratulations which lull us into self satisfaction, but the
kind which encourage us to continue expanding our minds and our
convictions.

On October 1 5 I was very proud to be a part of Agnes Scott. I want
to keep feeling that way. Thank you all.

*3orotl]ea ^readnaugljt Presents

Wednesday, October 15, was a day of introspection, and for many
enlightenment, about the present and future of our country and the
small war-torn nation of Viet Nam. The activities of the day, which
began with a short period of meditation in the 8:30 classes, included
a Student Power panel at the regular convocation time.

Myki Powell, NSA co-ordinator on the ASC campus, was center
front behind the panel table which boasted the familiar clenched fist
of black power and the various other "peace" symbols. Also
stationed on stage were Carol Ann McKenzie, Marion Gamble, and
Marjorie Duncan of Spelman.

Marjorie spoke and all in Gaines listened to her account of
Spelman's "bloodless revolution" and Scott's antiquated system. She
told us of our apathy, lack of unity, and poor communication with
Student Government. And then, in a most intelligent, rational,
Scott-like speech, Marion Gamble rehashed retreat. And then, having
sauntered in late, Howard Romaine, editor of Atlanta's own local
smut-sheet, talked in circles and failed to answer satisfactorily (or
otherwise) questions put to him by students.

And then I left - with my red sweater, King Lear, a blank notepad,
and an emptyness inside. Why do we worry so much? Why can't
things be a little less searching and a little more fun, less tense and
more relaxed, less "me" and more "us?" 1 just broke one of the
cardinal rules of journalism: Don't moralize! But how can I fund the
answers if I don't know what I don't know?

However, I do know one thing. I want to enjoy being the girl I am

the most popular item with

rising hemlines. Accessories in the

of almost every outfit. Big

realized that wigs are just as

as scarves, belts, and jewelry. It is

Open Letter to ASC

All right fellow students, it's time to be blunt. So far you have a
paper. About four people put out YOUR paper every week with very
few faithful contributers and staff. The four people who put out your
paper not only interview, write articles, type copy, proof-read copy
write headlines, do layout, go to the printers every Wednesday for
four hours, but these people must also seek out who wants what
publicity.

We have enough creativity to vary our features and completely
exclude student activities and organization projects. But this we feel
becomes OUR paper expressing OUR interests and not YOUR paper
We want to be of service to student organizations.

We do have some cooperation- thank you NSA for including us
thank you Susie Borcuk for student government's Repartee. Where
are you Blackfriars?...you have a play? Where are you CA?...you have
tutoring projects? You don't need publicity? (I noticed your sign-up
sheet was blank). Where are you AA?

With our limited staff we cannot check with class presidents and
organization presidents and secretaries every week to see if there is
any way you can use your paper. Unless you help us we cannot help
you or the interested student body.

We would like AA and CA to alternate columns every week. Just
think with two people in AA and two people in CA each person
would only have to write one article per month. Is that too much for
some capable whole woman?

At any rate, your Profile staff is getting tired. Please cooperate.
Organizations, give us a calendar, make appointments, tell us if there
is something big you need us to play up. We don't ask that you write
all your own stuff. We ask that you have representatives to write u
what is going on and to let us know when the big events you want
publicized come up.

Take some initiative. I t's suppose to be YOU R paper

Growing greenhouse
threat to thin thumbs

by Cindy Percival

To the average non-biology
major at Agnes Scott it may seem
to be of little importance that the
biology department here has a
greenhouse or that much time
and money is being spent to
improve equipment and methods
used in it. However, these are the
very students who will probably
benefit most from the changes.

It is the hope of Mrs. Bowden
that by next fall quarter the
greenhouse will become a prime
teaching aid in the general botany
course. Plans are being made for
students to be able to use the
greenhouse for growing their own
plants in connection with their
lab work. Biology students will
learn practical applications of
botany in the planting of seeds,
caring for seedlings, and even the
breeding and reproduction of
plants.

So it seems that now there can
be no more cries of, "As a history
major, what good is all this

rises like the Phoenix.

Black Cat is not easily created.
The second ingredient, one which
creates the necessary bond
between the girls, is extremely
rare, but it does exist in plentiful
amounts on the Agnes Scott
campus. As the ingredients do
not readily mix Black Cat is the
product of much work by many
people. This is definitely not a
case of too many chefs spoiling
the stew.

A Black Cat experience is thus
very difficult to duplicate. Please
follow the directions with care.

(1) Sprinkle the girls ahead of
time with a generous dose of
Black Cat spirit. Additional
enthusiasm* may be generated the
night before by a bonfire. If
properly conditioned, the girls
will have no reservations about
running around in faded gym
shorts or with bare middles.

(2) Line girls along edge of
hockey field. Select from each
class eleven wild-eyed and
drooling hockey players. Put on
field and mutilate well. Baste
with large amounts of frenzied
cheers as the games progress.

giving the juniors a double dose

(3) Stuff girls tightly until
bloated with a lightly tossed
mixture of grass and Letitia Pate
Evans fried chicken. Place on
hockey field until well-chilled.

(4) Insert girls in a
well-decorated Gaines. Make sure*
that the vocal chords are
well-strained so that the
production will not be drowned
out by hilarious laughter.

(5) The girls in the production
need much advance preparation.
(Just ask Betheda.) Two days
before the performance take a
girl with a leading role and put
her on crutches. Saturate the rest
of the cast with insanity until the
production is well-done.

(6) After the entire mixture
over the dance floor of the
Rebekah discotheque. Blend at
high speed for three hours. Any
remaining girl should be placed in
a room above the dance so that
she, too, can be agitated-by the
plaster falling off the quaking
walls and batting her in the head.

Well that's it. Good luck - and
consider yourself well-done.

biology going to do me!" Judging
by some of the wilted house
plants abandoned in the garbage
cans on campus, most of us could
use some help in caring for the
greenery that adds so much to
our dorms. In all honesty, how
many of us have ever won any
prizes for our horticultural
achievements up to now?

Although these new additions
which will help save our "green
thumbs" will probably not be
completed for a while, the
greenhouse still has much to offer
students on campus right now. At
this time it is stocked with several
species of ferns, some beautiful
orchid and lily plants,
podocarpus plants, and many
others that might be of interest
to students. The greenhouse is all
day during the week and until
noon on Saturdays. Mrs. Bowden
invites all interested students to
come and just. browse around.

After seeing the first few scenes
of "The Last Summer"
(produced by Frank Perry -Alsid,
directed by Emanuel L. Wolf,
released by Allied Artists, starring
Barbara Hershey, Richard
Thomas, Bruce Davison and
Cathy Burns,)I feared that this
movie was bearing a most
unfortunate resemblance to the
Bikini-Beach-Blanket
Bingo-Blow-out bombs. I fully
expected Annette Funicello,
Frankie Avalon, and their
tire-squealing, clearasiling brigade
to arrive any minute. But
fortunately, for the movie's sake,
this critical judgment turned out
to be premature.

Located mainly on the beacn,
the story revolves around the
experiences of four middle-class
teen-agers: Danny, typically
surfer - aspiring and red-blooded;
Peter, similar to Danny, but more
sensitive; Sandy, sun-tanned,
bikini-clad, also hurt and
confused; and Rhoda,
freckle-faced, pudgey, all-around
homely, warm and concerned for
others.

The movie opens with a
meeting between the two boys
and Sandy, who is trying to help
an injured sea-gull. A happy
triangle is created, and all is
centered around fun, friendship,
and frolic. Then Rhoda is
introduced, and at this point a

very interesting study in human

psychology begins.

Personality development is
closely connected to the fact that
each character highly resents his
parents, which Rhoda so
poignantly points out when she
admits to having spat on her
mother's grave. Although none of
the parents ever appear, their
influence is felt throughout the
movie.

One of the most outstanding
aspects of this movie was its
vivid, sometimes realism and
candor. The actual gory shot of a
live seagull having a fishhook
extracted from its throat was
surprising, as were the scenes
when Sandy decided to take off
the top of her bikini. The
dialogue at first seemed juvenile,
even trite, but this irritation
faded somewhat with the
realization that only dialogue of
this sort could fit the
personalities depicted.

Once you get past the
teeny-bopper effect, you will
probably find the portrayal of
human nature provided by this
movie worth your while. No
matter what your reaction is to
the acting and sensationalism,
you can't help but leave the
theatre after the last scene feeling
somewhat uncomfortable and
thought- provoked, maybe even a
little sick.

Repartee

SUSIE BORCUK

Would like to consider Scott a
"contemporary colleger Dean
Jones would and said so in her
talk to Rep Council at our
Tuesday meeting.

As it stands now, the present
system "can get you down," and
someone needs to take a look at
it-deciding what is "necessary"
and what is "extraneous."

This is exactly why a
committee is being formed to
work closely with Dean Jones-to
help put "things" social
regulations in particular, in
perspective.

The Dean likened our situation
to the problem of a mason: We
need to survey the entire wall
before we begin to knock out the
individual bricks. Otherwise, the
entire structure may collapse.

The committee, to begin work
immediately after the selection of
members is complete, will be
composed of the Dean, and seven
members from the student body,
with the President of SGA, and
the Chairman of Judicial serving
as advisory members. The names
of the seven members will be
posted as soon as they have been
appointed by a committee of the
board and class presidents.

Dean Jones predicts that the
biggest problem they will
encounter will be in finding an
efficient method to educate the
rest of the campus to their
findings. The committee will
endeavor to keep in constant
communication with the
community throughout the
study. When the study is
complete, a written report will be
released, and perhaps, a forum
will be organized to feed the
information back to the student
body.

No deadline has been set for
the study. "We want PERFECT
rules- at PERFECT times," says
Dean Jones. "This would be
asking for magic." The
committee will set a date after it
is organized.

Did you ever stop to think
what percent of the Atlanta area
population are students: With
twenty -four institutions of higher
learning in Atlanta, the student
population can not be
overlooked. Until two weeks ago
at the first meeting of the Atlanta
Area Programs Council, the
students of these institutions
have had no organized means for
communication and no united
voice; consequently their joint
po-ver and potential has never
been realized.

Joel Porter, external
vice-president of the Georgia
Tech Student Center, called the
first meeting of AAPC inviting a
staff member and student from
each of the Atlanta institutions.
The proposed plans look most
optimistic.

The council is working to
coordinate publicity for activities
on all campuses such as
Humphrey's visit to Emory,
readily attainable reference lists
of activities, and programs such
as lectures, fine arts, travel,
games, recreation, and movies.
The group will also work toward
acquiring special guests such as
"Blood, Sweat and Tears," and
developing programs which
would be too expensive for one
campus to finance.

At each meeting problems
common to the various schools
will be discussed. A calendar will
be published quarterly compiling
activities from the various
campuses. United cooperation
will benefit all Atlanta students.

Intercollegiate committee will
be responsible for communicating
the actions of AAPC to the Agnes
Scott campus. Half of the Arts

used for publicity. The members
of Intercollegiate committee are
Mary Agnes Bullock, chairman;
Miss Bonnie Beaver, advisor:

Head Start data
Copple says 4 too

by LEE B. COPPLE

Have Scotties who have spent the last several
summers working with Project Head Start been
wasting their time? The first "hard data" was released
this summer, and the answer seemed to be a
discouraging "yes." No significant differences could
be found between a representative sample of Head
Start "alumni" and a control group of children from
similar backgrounds without such experience.

Probably the most widely popular program of the
Johnson administration's "Great Society"-one which
had resisted congressional appropriation slashes
because it met with such obvious public approval-was
thus given at least a caution light, as compared to the
"full steam ahead" approach which it had previously
enjoyed.

The original notion was appealing. Following the
1954 Supreme Court decision banning racial
segregation and directing that public schools move
"with all deliberate speed" to accomodate members
of all races, it was widely recognized that tremendous
disruption of academic programs and standards would
result if some move could not be taken
simultaneously to assure that, even before the
beginning of first grade, students from
"disadvantaged " backgrounds could be given some
sort of "catch up" experience.

feasible alternative and hastily put into effect in the

Honor Emphasis -
Play it again, Sam

by G1NNY SIMMONS
Campus News Editor

This past week Judicial led the community in a
series of evaluative programs about honor. After
Monday night's creative arts presentation and the
panel discussion on Tuesday, several judicials
discussed the honor system in some of its more
specific aspects at Convocation. The overall theme
involved the fragmentation of honor and "putting the
puzzle back together."

The basis of the problem, the concept of honor
itself, was considered by thepanel of seniors Tuesday
night. On the panel were Ann Hoefer, Lilly Comer,
Peggy Chapman, and Sally Skardon. Miss Jones, Dean
of Students, moderated.

Among the aspects the panel tossed about was the
growth each individual has experienced in her
attitude towards honor, both the concept and the
system. Each panel member admitted to a definite
change of attitude since her freshman year. Lily
Comer said that "getting to know more people and
getting a new perspective" was her basic change.
Peggy Chapman had to face the idea that honor is "a
cause and not a result." She found that disobeying a
rule did not make a dishonorable person.

The panel attempted to define the honor they were
discussing by differentialting between the honor
system and the concept behind it. Although each
panel member agreed that there is a distinct
difference, they could not agree on exactly where the
difference should lie.

A very major conflict concerns personal honor as
it deviates from that of the handbook. The panel
reflected current attitude that our mesh of rules
seems to get in the way of the individual sense of
honor. The most heated part of the discussion
concerned whether the honor of Buttrick and that of
Main belonged together is a system.

A member ot the audience commented that rules
tend to force growth in the personal concept of
honor, if only by apposition and opposition. Yet
Scott's rules were termed "day to day muck" and
"underbrush hurdles in the Carolina Cup" race to the
concept of honor.

On the whole the panel and its lively, participating
audience discussed a wide scope .of the Agnes Scott
concept of honor, both in the system and out. The
fact that no conclusions were reached was of no
concern to anyone. After all, honor is relative

discouraging
little, too late'

spring months of I %5 ? was inaugurated with high
hopes and tremendous enthusiasm.

Till': DISCOURAGING NLWS about the lack oi
impact of government-sponsored programs has led to
intensive discussion. One explanation-applicable to
the Negro children who have made up such a large
part of the Head Start population- Dr. Arthur Jensen
of the University of California at Berkeley is that, for
Negro children, its goals were dead wrong.

Designed to gear into the public schools, with their
heavy emphasis on "abstraction ability," the program
was doomed to failure for Negro children, Jcnson
feels, because Negroes, as a race, or genetic pool, have
a lower ability to do what school instruction (and IQ
tests) demand: reason and solve problems. Jensen
admits that abstraction ability "is not the only
component of ability to learn; yet our educational
system is geared to teaching things by means that rely
on it."'

Thus, if his thesis is correct, programs in
"compensatory education" like Head Start (as well as
the conventional means of education into which these
compensatory programs serve as feeders) are doomed
to failure with Negro youth- and not because they are
a hopeless cause, but the wrong aspects of their
learning potential have been emphasized.

MOST EXPERTS DO not totally discount Jenson's
basic contention- that too little attention has been
payed to the role of biology in the formation of
learning ability due to the prevailing reliance on
environment theory.

When asked to comment of Jensen's thesis, Lee B.
Copple, associate professor of psychology at Agnes
Scott, admitted the picture was a very confused one.
"In the post World War 11 climate of liberalism, in
racial matters, it became unpopular to talk about
possible racial differences in intellingence or potential
for school achievement," Dr. Copple pointed out.

COPPLE MENTIONED an interesting rebuttal to
Jensen's claim by the distinguished Negro columnist,
Carl Rowan in a recent issue of the Atlanta
Constitution, but added that, while the column was
cleverly written, the sort of counter-evidence on
which a serious denial of Jensen's charge could be
based was not presented.

Other, more professional sources have likewise
expressed concern over the Jensen charges, which
appeared in the "Harvard Educational Review,"
and-in line with their worst fears-his study has
already been cited as evidence by Virginia lawyers
supporting a school district's right to segregate its
schools.

NOTHING IN THE SUPREME COURT'S decision
presupposed equality of intellect, natively or gained
through experience, and ultimately I don't think that
any finding of equality or inequality has much to do
with the matter, Copple continued. "The court's
decision was based on political and moral realities,
much more so than on sociological or psychological
grounds, although it was wisely charged by
segregationists that the sociologists and psychologists
heavily influenced the decision."

HI CONCLUDED by saying that the problem with
Head Start was not use of an unsound premise so
much as that it is 'too little, too late.' Research
should support the notion that the critical period
comes far earlier than the summer before school
entry, and therefore successful programs would have
to start in the first months and years of an infant's
life-not five to six years later."

The Roving Eye

by LINDA LANEY

The Honors-Pass-Fail system
which is under a three-year trial
period at SIMMONS COLLEGE,
Boston, has encountered various
problems since it began in 1968.
One of the greatest areas of
disenchantment is the lack of
detailed evaluations for students
applying to graduate school or
trying to transfer.

As a result of overcrowded
conditions in the women's
residence halls at MERCER
UNI VERI STY, upperclassmen
girls in Roberts Hall, a former
men's dorm, are trying an
innovation in women's housing.
There is no house mother and
each resident has a key to the
front door, which is locked
continuously. According to the
Assistant Dean of Women, the
hall has thus far been successful
and could have implications for
future housing programs.

The Confederate flag will no
longer be used by CLEMSON to
represent the school after this
year's football season. The
decision was made by the
CentralSpirit Committee because
of objections to the flag by the
Student League for Black
Identity and the Southern
Student Organizing Committee.

Qualified freshmen at
INDIANA UNIVERISTY will be
offered eight special seminars
dealing with such current and
controversial problems as
poverty, discrimination student
unrest and black power this fall.

A new method has been
endorsed by the Student Senate
at the UNIVERSITY OF
GEORGIA to provide students
with the opportunity to exchange
books with other students at
little or no cost. ..and. .to provide
students with a choice other than
the bookstores to purchase their
books." A central filing cabinet

will be kept in the student
activities office for the purpose
of keeping a record of all books
available. address, and telephone
number of the person hoping to
sell the book, and the anticipated
price of the book. If a person
wishes to purchase a book he
simply takes the card from the
file box and locates the book's
owner.

Letters to the Editor

To The Editor,

As one apathetic student of this community, I would like to
chastize the persons who authored the many empty seats in Maclean
Monday night. The Honor Emphasis committee presented a
provocative audio-visual exhibition consisting of slides, narrationand
music. The program was the most "thinkable" I have ever seen done
on this topic. The slides covered a wide range of life experiences both
in and out of Scott as the narration and music prodded one's mind to
self-evaluation. Unlike many previous attempts during Honor
Emphasis Week the tone was totally lacking didacticism or finality.

I want to commend the committee for an excellent presentation of
a difficult topic. They managed to cover it thoroughly without
closing or stifling the concept of what honor is. As the narration
indicated, the majority is what the minorityis not. May Judicial as a
whole only remember, think about and act up on what some of its
members have pointed up, and leave us with the open concept.

Sincerely,
T.M.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Students at Agnes Scott are tired of existing only within the
boundaries of their studying, eating, and sleeping. They are bored
with the restraining walls of their rooms, the library, and the dining
hall. They want to live NOW in the world, in the community, in
Atlanta. They want to be individuals contributing to society, not just
to the Agnes Scott community! Or so it would seem to one who had
been to retreat, or to one who has since listened to the campus
murmurs of the irrelevancy of life here. But, if one were to take a
survey of the number of students who are doing something about
their complaint; who are seeking meaningful and worthwhile
activities off campus in the community, he would know that the
students here do not really mean what they say. They are content to
keep complaining, but to let someone else act!

This is obvious to those who are attempting to link our campus to

the "outside world." This is obvious to those in charge of service

projects by t which a student can, through personal interaction,

contribute to the solution of social problems. This is obvious to those

who have pledged financial aid to foreign students or to a hospital in

Korea. This is obvious because response to these channels of outside

action arc small-too small so small that these people who need our

help probably KNOW that we do not care. , A . . .

The famous committee which

has recently been formed to work
closely with Dean Jones on social
regulations at Scott has acquired
a name for itself S.C.R.A.P.,
which stands for the "Special
Commission on Rules and
Policies."

The commission (they steered
away from the idea of another
"committee") consists of Dean
Jones and Bonnie Brown, acting
as co-chairman, Carolyn Cox,
Margaret Taylor, Marty
Perkerson, Linda Storey, and
Betty Wilkinson. They were
selected by a committee made up
of the board presidents and the
class presidents.

SCRAP has already had, in the
words of Bonnie Brown, "a
meeting and a half," during
which they made headway in
laying a foundation on which to
work. They discussed the
4 *non-negotiables" at Scott,
aspects they liked and disliked
about the campus commjnity,
and the community in
relationship to Honor as
discussed in Honor Emphasis

chore of studying and the

freshman, is not only married,
but has a baby as well. She
explained that her husband and
baby come first but she does
manage to study while the baby
sleeps.

Nat FitzSimons Anderson feels
that it is much more difficult for
her to study now. And
commented that there are a great

now is finishing her thank-you

doesn't have to get up quite so
early and her husband doesn't eat

car, motorcycle, or bicycle -
whichever one is working.

Another area of interest is that
of cooking and cleaning. Rebecca
Gilbart said, "I'd never cooked a
meal. My mother gave me a
cookbook and I haven't messed
up a meal yet. There's really not
much to it if you can read."

Linda Owen and M'Ellen,
however, had a different point of
view about studying. M'Ellen
commented, "I study just as
much but without a lot of
pressure. At Scott I felt guilty
about not studying." She feels
she really has a great set-up-not
as much pressure yet she can still
take advantage of what she likes
and she still sees most of her
friends.

In advising future married
couples, Karen Blankner sums it
up nicely, "It is probably better
to wait until you're out of
school, but it's not something
you can really make a rational
decision about." Nat says, "I
think it's really great being
married. ..but I wouldn't
recommend it for evervone."

SACRAMENTO, CAL.-(CPS)-
Once upon a time a state highway
patrolman stopped a hippie
speeder on Interstate 80 and
asked for his driver's license
number and license plate number.

"PIG!" The angry motorist
began. Needless to say, the cop
was piqued.

"Just give me your license plate
number!" The officer insisted, so
the legend goes.

"PIG 1 -"

"That's enough," the brute
force of his voice terrified the
hippie

Well, if you haven't caught on

hair had a license plate number

At last, Gov. Ronald Reagan
has rectified this embarrassing
situation. New license plates will
be issued this year, and a

to exclude certain offensive letter
combinations.

One combination seemed
confusing. McLaughlin, trembling
as though telling his grade
schoolers the facts of life, said
simply that it was just not proper
to have YES streaming down the
streets and alleys of proper
California.

But don't worry, McLaughlin
quickly conceeded. If you've an

The value of the movie lies in
its unique vision of America. The
faces of the southern bigots and
others passed on the journey to

ue-to-life. The exquisite
photography along with the
hard-rock music, which is played
at intervals during the movie are
worth the price of admission.

Perhaps the weakest part of the
movie was the acting of Fonda.
His role seemed to consist of
sitting around smoking pot, being
sensitive and looking handsome.
The most brilliant and
imaginative acting was Jack

Cleaver's

Ethnic
Experience

by A. CAPERS HUFFMAN

Flridge Cleaver's "Soul On Ice"
(Dell Publishing Co., Inc., 1968)
is a collection of autobiographical
and critical essays. The book is in
the spirit of "The Autobiography
of Malcolm jX" but it lacks both
the spiritual and emotional depth
of that work. Cleaver's book is
obviously the work of a disciple,
while Malcolm X's book is the
story of a leader.

However, in spite of Cleaver's
derivative thought and style,
"Soul On Ice" is an important
book to this campus. We are
basically a white, middle-class,
Protestant community. As a
black American, Cleaver grew up
in the same system we did. As a
black American, he, also,
developed outside that system.
He has the point of view of the
foreigner and the native
combined in the same mind.

The world he shows us is
shaking, at times revolting, and, 1
believe, at times, wrong, but both
the fact that an intelligent black
American has this view of our
world and the fact that portions
of that view may be true make
this book important for everyone
on this campus. "Soul On Ice" is
a needed experience in seeing
ourselves as others see us, an
important step toward
self-knowledge.

Blackfriar's Pot Boils
With 'The Crucible'

by CAPERS

A good play, as is all good art,
is a living, selfcontained organism
and like all organisms, it grows.
In the beginning, long before
anything is seen on stage, the
play is just so many pages of
written material and a few ideas
in a director's mind. Before it can
develope any further, a play
needs actors.

The written material, the
director, and the actors are three
of the major components of the
developing play. When they work
together properly something very
like magic, perhaps what the
artist calls creation, happens on
stage. It is not a sudden thing,
born whole like Athena from the
head of Zeus.

The organism that is a good
play grows slowly, rehearsal after
rehearsal, not only on stage, but
in the actors' minds, in the
director's mind, and later in the
technical director's mind. The
characters and the plots that the
playwright put on paper begin to
live, not exactly as he sees them,
not exactly as the director sees

HUFFMAN

them, not even as the actors see
them, but as a creative
combination of all these points of
view.

This growth process does not
end opening night. On opening
night the fourth major
component of the good play is
added, the audience. There is
always a differeace between the
most careful full-dress rehearsal
of a play and the performance
given before an audience.

The difference is not definable
but it is palpable to the actors on
stage, the light crew in the booth,
even to the set crew waiting
backstage. The difference is you,
your reactions, your responses.
Without you all performances are
run-through and the play never
quite grows up.

There is a play, 'The Crucible"
growing in Dana Fine Arts
Building now. November 20, 21,
and 22 that play will need an
audience. Blackfriar's best
productions cannot ever mature
without you.

Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030

NOVEMBER 14,1969

November moves
protest to Capitol

by FRAN FULTON

Again college students speak out for peace. Lasting
this month for two days, the Moratorium on Vietnam
includes a wide variety of activities of education and
protest. The March against Death, a single file
procession from Arlington National Cemetery to the
Capitol, will be a graphic demonstration of the
destruction of the war.

Next, on Saturday, a mass march on the White
House is planned, (of 250,000 or more marchers.)
Also among the major acitvities are another large
march, this one in San Francisco, a national
conference on GI rights, and a workshop on the draft.

Don't worry if you can't go to Washington; Atlanta
is having its share of Moratorium activities. On
Thursday, students converged on the State Capitol to
hear speeches on the war; to create atmosphere a
huge funeral veil was stretched around the square. A
film and a rally were planned for Emory. On Friday
Atlantans will meet to send the buses off on their
way to Washington.

Myki Powell, NSA coordinator at Agnes Scott, has
worked hard to publicize the Moratorium acitivities
and to organize a form of action for Agnes Scott. A
peace rally will be held on campus. Patterned after
Vassar's memorial rally, it will include singing and a.
service.

This month the protest will be taken to the
community. Students will distribute . brochures
describing the war, the policies involved, its costs, and
itscasualities.Students involved will, however, have to
take a definite stand on the war.

The November Moratorium is different from that
of Oct. 1 5 ; its base has been narrowed. This is in large
part a reaction to the stand that Nixon took on the
war, to his determination to remain unaffected by
student protest.

A change in leadership has also to some extent
altered the goals of the protesters. The Vietnam
Moratorium Committee organized last month's
activities and, according to Myki, is still the group
with which we are dealing. Working with "grassroot"
acitvities, it is "designed to educate and make the
community active." The goal of this group is peace
in Vietnam.

The Washington march is, however, the work of the
"New Mobilization Committee to End the War in
Vietnam." Apparently a more radical organization, its
purpose it to change the conditions which created
this war. It thus opposed not just one policy, but an
entire society.

I keep telhn' ya, man, the end of the war

is just around the corner "

Student concern...

Students have, for a long time, made known their desi
for a peaceful settlement of the Vietnamese war. Indeed
very few people would be willing to take a stand in favor
war per se, although the historical record reveals case after
case of the desire for national aggrandizement which leads
to war.

e Hershey Cites Sheets,
^Doctors In SpockTrial

On the premise that war is undesirable and regrettable,
even in self-defense, the question must be raised as to why
student protest has been labeled unpatriotic and has met
with such unyielding refusal to listen from the dominent
elements of government.

In his recent policy speech on Vietnam, President Nixon
called upon the "silent majority" to support him. Real
though their existence may be, his tacit denial of the
expressed concern of the many and varied "vocal" groups
can only be termed deplorable.

Perhaps calls for "immediate withdrawal" are logistically
impractical, perhaps not, and certainly, burning buildings in
New York alienates many, but there is no reason to
categorize opinions on Vietnam as "the good, the bad and
the ugly." Public pressure can do a great deal - maybe it
can change official opinion as to the beliefs of the "silent
majority.

QUOTF OF THl WF.FK

The following is a quotatio
from a letter received by Dr
Alston just prior to his departure!
for Europe: "I am glad to inform
you that finally after five year:
the government decided to sell
twenty acres of land for thei
Aaron Samuel Hospital near'
Madras City.

'The money contributed by
Agnes Scott College was a great
help and we are very thankful to|
all the members of the College
for their generous contribution

"Kindly pass this information!
to members of the College, and I
will be grateful if you tell them
that we are sincerely thankful to
them."

The letter came to Dr. Alston
from Miss Mercy Samuel, a
visiting instructor in biology at
Agnes Scott for the 1966-67
session. Miss Samuel was at Agnes
Scott as a part of the
'ndia-United States Women's
College Exchange Program. The
entire money from Junior Jaunt
of 1967 was given to the hospital
as was the Investiture offering in
1967.

Special to College Press

NEW YORK-(CPSK'Have you
ever ironed a contour sheet?"
"No, actually."

"Well, first you press down the
sides, and you've got a large
rectangle. Then you fold that in
half, and you've got a smaller
rectangle. You fold that over
again..."

My interlocutor was General
Hershey, sitting across from me
at his pristine desk in his hugh,
flag-draped office. He was
drawing an analogy: those who
don't know how to iron contour
sheets should not attempt to give
advice on the subject to those
who do. Dr. Spoke may be a very
fine baby doctor, but he should
stick to his own field of expertise
and let the generals worry about
running the war and the draft.

Diverting our discussion from
the subject of sheets, I asked
General Hershey whether Dr.
Spock, accused of conspiring to
"counsel, aid and abet" draft
resistance, had succeeded in his
objective: did he know of any
young men who had refused
induction because of the Spock
message? "No," he replied.
"None of these people have done
more than irritate us in doing
what we have to do."

The apparent contradiction was
cleared up for me later by John
Van de Kamp, chief of the
Justice Department unit
responsible for the prosecution.
If General Hershey was right (I
asked), and the defendants had
not succeeded in counselling,
aiding and abetting young men to
resist the draft, why were they
indicated?

Ah! They were not charged
with that, they were charged with
conspiring to do so, he explained.
The Government did not have to
prove that they had actually
committed the "substantive"
offenses, for the crime of
conspiracy is established by proof
merely of an agreement, a
"meeting of the minds" to
commit the offense.

Probing further into the
wonderland of the prosecutorial
mind, I stumbled almost by
accident on a curious use of FBI
facilities in trials the government
considers politically important.

Because of recent newspaper
disclosures of how the FBI
operates, those of us who
attended the trail were hardly
surprised to learn that the
defendants' telephones were
tapped, that they were spied on
("kept under surveillance" was
Van de Kamp's more elegant

term) because ot their anti-war
activities, that undercover agents
haunted not only their private
lives but their press conferences
and other public appearances for
the purpose of constructing a
case against them. Yet to me it
still came as a shocker to learn
that potential jurors in the case
were subjected to FBI scrutiny.

Does the recent decision of the
appellate court, reversing the
convictions, freeing Spock and
Ferber while ordering new trials
for Coffin and Goodman, mean
there ,will be an end to this kind
of prosecution? Not at all. Civil
liberties lawyers tell me that far
from striking down conspiracy
doctrine, the court's written
opinion blueprints for the
Government its more effective
use in political cases; the court
merely points out that a tighter
case is needed to survive an
appeal.

Recommendations that
DAVIDSON COLLEGE admit
600 women students and limit its
football program were revealed
November 7 by President S.R.
Spencer, Jr.

The recommendations, which
would dramatically affect the
132 year-old all male college,
were made in reports to Spencer
by five special study
commissions.

Reorganization of the campus
dormitory and fraternity systems;
vigorous recruitment of black
students; more extensive
community involvement by
faculty, staff and students; and a
broader representation on the
board of trustees were also
recommended.

To make the transition to a
co-ed school of 900 men and 600
women, female transfer students
would be admitted but the
academic standards would not be
lowered.

Trustees elected from and by
each graduating class were also
advised. A flexible policy of
admissions without lowering
standards, and a summer program
of remedial work, open to all
students who need or desire it
was suggested in order to recruit
more "whetes and blacks of farm
and working class backgrounds."

VASSER COLLEGE has also
announced an addition to its
Board of Trustees. Alison
Bernstein, 22 and a 1969 summa
cum laude graduate, has become
the youngest trustee in the
history of the college.

The administration at
SOUTHWESTERN in Memphis
recently approved a three week
trial period for parietals in two
women's residences, Vorhees and
Townsend Halls. Men will be
allowed to visit in Vorhees on
Fridays and Saturdays between 1
and 5 p.m. and 8-1 2 p.m. ; and on
Sundays between 1-5 o.m.

Nixon moderates har/d
line bill on marijuana

PACE 3

by JANICE JOHNSTON

From the people who brought
you nerve gas, the moon flight
and ABM, we now have
Operation Intercept.

Operation Intercept is the
Nixon Administration's James
Bondian title for an all-out air,
land and sea assault mounted to
reduce the traffic of marijuana
and other drugs between Mexico
and the U.S.

The operation's arsenal
includes German Shepherd dogs
trained to react to the scent of
marijuana, Navy patrol boats in
the Gulf of Mexico, Air Force
pursuit planes, a web of radar
screens installed by the Federal
Aviation Administration to
detect illegal border crossings
and aircraft equipped with
electronic sensing devices capable
of sniffing poppy fields from the
sky.

Operation Intercept parallels a
similar attack on marijuana being
waged in Vietnam, where tens of
thousands of U.S. servicemen are
understood to have turned on.
The U.S. Army has been fighting
a war of suppression involving
federal agents, police dogs,
helicopters and television
announcements.

The anti-drug drives appear to

represent but another
manifestation of the hard line
Nixon has taken on drugs,
evident in his July proposal of
the most repressive drug
legislation yet to be considered
by Congress: 2-10 years in prison
and a $20,000 fine for possession
of marijuana, LSD or harder
narcotics and 5-20 years in prison
and a $25,000 fine for a first
selling offense.

Recently, however, Nixon's
hard-line drug stand has been
greatly modified. The
administration, intercepting its
drug bill in the Senate's
Subcommittee of Juvenile
Delincjuencey, now has proposed
making possession of any of the
drugs a misdemeanor rather than
felony, punishable by a jail
sentence of no more than a year,
and a maximum fine of $5,000.

Marijuana would be removed
from the legal category covering
narcotics such as heroin and
placed in what the administration
refers to as the "hallucinogenic
substances" classification, with
pep and sleeping pills. Persons
convicted of having grass for
personal use for the first time
would be eligible for a snecial
probationary period.

Reeves finds Brecht
play dated, biteless

by GINGER REEVES

While at Bertolt Brecht's
"Three Penny Opera" I was
reminded of a comment I had
heard concerning this popular
German play. Brecht wanted to
criticize the middle-class
capitalists who were oppressing
the down-trodden proletariat.

But his audience, composed of
middle-class capitalists, loved the
play. The songs were clever and
the tunes nice, but its Marxist
messate did not come across. The
Alliance Theater's production
was a repeat of this failure.

The translation from the
German text - the play being
based on John Gay's "Beggar
Opera" and re-done by Brecht to
express his own peculiar brand of
communism - was well done.

Mr. Pechum, the Bible-quoting
beggar's businessman, was quite
adequate for his part. Mrs.

Peachum could handle her songs,
but one was not terribly
convinced by her acting. Mack
the Knife, the theif-harem king,
made it through, but the only
other character of any quality
was Luny Brown, who carried of
her part and helped put some bite
back into the songs.

The play is supposedly aimed
at alienating the audience from
character involvement in order to
make them think about what is
being said. All that came across
here was a musical with rather
boring and confusing action.

Had the play been updated,
costumes and time made relevant,
the matter might have struck
home - perhaps not in this day of
"Hair," ect. Could be Brecht's
formulas and beleifs in the rights
of the downstodded worker's
class do not apply here.

"No, lady, it's not really under
the ground... you sure you been
living here for three years?"
(Well, it's called Underground
Atlanta. ..how was I supposed to
know?) "Anything else you
wanta know, lady

I decided at this point that it
might be best to quit advertising
my stupidity, and do some
investigation of the subject on
my own, instead.

Underground Atlanta, a
four-block area in the middle of
Atlanta, used to be the heart of
the city's financial district. In it is
Atlanta's oldest building, the
Georgia Railroad Depot. It was
by this building that the
wounded lay as Sherman
marched through the city. Many
of the buildings that remained
after Sherman were destroyed.
Underground Atlanta was
cemented over, and the new

Atlanta was built on top.

A few years ago, the idea
cropped up that Underground
Atlanta could be rebuilt into an
authentic tourist attraction,
similar to New Orleans' French
Quarter and Chicago's Old Town.

A trip to Underground Atlanta
is a unique experience. To get
there, enter two blocks north of
City Hall beneath the Central
Avenue viaduct. Once you are
inside, you will see, by gaslight, a
number of fascinating museums,
gift shops (Dupah Tree, Twas the
Night Before, Humbug, Wooden
Onion), art gallaeries, saloons and
rathskellers (P.J. Kenney's
Saloon, Muhlenbrinks Saloon,
Hearth and Pendulum, The
Blarney Stone), and eating and
entertainment spots (Ruby Red's,
The Apothecary, Salvatore's
Grotto, Gone With the Wits, P.J.
Kenney's Commissary).

no come back again?"

Regression is theme
of Beatles 'Get Back'

by BILL SIEVERT

"GET BACK,'' Beatles' newest
album produced by Apple
Records.

(CPS)-( Regression: the reversal
to a pattern of behavior more
appropriate to, or characteristic
of, an earlier stage of
development.)

"Concept: Music, Philosophy
and Politics" magazine describes
the Beatles' "Get Back" as "a
model of simplicity," and that it
is, for the dominant theme of
this, the Beatles' newest set, is
one of regression.

The set consists of an album, a
studio-session photo book and an
accompanying film of the
recording session, all slated to be
released in a package deal this
December. The album itself
contains 1 cuts, all recorded live
in the new Apple studios at 3
Seville Blvd., London. The cover
photo shows the Beatles posed on
the steps of HM1 studios; exactly
as they appeared on the cover of
their first album, "Please Please
Me," in 1963.

In this album there is no
background orchestration, no
electronic effects, no Eastern
influence and even no
overdubbing. Only the Beatles
and keyboard man Billy Preston
are involved.

All of the cuts were composec
and arranged before the Beatles
went to the studio, so the result
is very loose; looser, in fact, than
"The Beatles." Listening to this
album is like being in the control
room of Apple's studios during a,
rehearsal. Nothing has been
edited out or dubbed in, and
many times the Beatles stop in
the middle of one song and go on
to the next.

On occasion John Lennon may
be heard discussing the merits of
each song with producer George
Martin, and the many breaks
during and in between songs are
filled with mini-jams and
warm-up sessions; the format of
the album is not unlike a Kafka
stream-of-consciousness novel.

The title song,"(Iet Back,"

summarizes their feelings about
their followers; McCartney tells
Jo-Jo (i.e. John Lennon) to "get
back to where you once
belonged."

"Jo-Jo was a man who thought
he was a loner, but he was
another man," reaffirms the
Beatles' decision to assert their
individuality. Jo-Jo was, in fact,
reputed to be a loner, and now
this label is applicable to all four.

The theme of leaving their
world of prominence that they
have occupied for the last six
years and going "home" appears
again and again, fn Harrison's
"For You Blue," and
Lennon-McCartney's "Two of Us
on Our Way Home," the
disenchantment with living a
world-known ideal appears.

The last segment of the
recording is a "Get Back"
mini-encore, and is extremely
discontinuous with the rest of the
recording. Its tone is one of
sarcastic laughter and derision,
but the guitar work is not
retrogressive, rather it is hard and
modern, similar to Jimi Hendrix's
"Voodoo Child," (slight return).

There is something absolutely
revolutionary about this album,
outside of its new format. This is
its presentation; it is no longer
the Beatles that are performing, it
is four individuals communicating
to themselves. This is what
they've been leading up to for the
past six years-they are now alone
with themselves.

Miller's 'Crucible'
coming to Dana soon

by A C APERS HUFFMAN

It hardly seems necessary to
mention the fact that the Agnes
Scott Blackfriars are presenting
Arthur Miller's play, "The
Crucible," November 20, 21, and
22. However, some people might
be interested in some of the
background of the play. "The
Crucible" has been performed
more often than any of Miller's
other plays, including "Death of
a Salesman." Perhaps, one of the
main reasons for the success of
the play is that it involves a
classic dilemma, people who must
choose between their integrity as
human beings in a Christian
community and their lives or
positions.

The action of the play
concentrates on one of history's
basic forces, the dogmaticism
that society subjects itself to. The
particular setting of the play is a
Puritan theocracy in the New
World. Its relevance goes far
beyond and far deeper than that.
The play is relevant to any
revolutionary world, whether

that world is modern Communist
Cuba or 17th century New
England, where the man who
does not think as the majority
does is a heretic and the minority
is always damned.

Dogmaticism Is, of course, not
the only theme of the play. "The
Crucible" is a study in the
interplay of human relationships
in a tightly confined world, a
world that did not smile and had
no ritual for forgiveness. For
example, there is the Elizabeth
Proctor (Carol Ann McKenzie),
Abigail Williams (Paula Swann),
John Proctor (Terry Kay)
triangle.

Since I am very involved in the
show, I cannot give an unbiased
evaluation of Blackfriars'
production of The Crucible. I
think it is a beautiful, gripping
play worth more than a $1.50 to
any intellegent person. Maybe my
opinion is biased. I am, however,
open to your unbiased opinion as
an audience. You are, after all,
part of the show, too.

Scully to lecture

Vincent Joseph Scully, Jr. is scheduled to lecture
on the Agnes Scott campus on Thursday, December
4. Mr. Scully, a native of New Haven, Connecticut, is
a noted art historian and educator, and is considered
to be the foremost architectural historian in the U.S.
today.

Scully earned his Ph.D. degree from Yale University
in 1947.

Since T947, he has taught in various capacities at
Yale. At present, the title of his professorship is the
Colonel John Trumbull Professorship of the History
of Art. In addition to his work at Yale, he is the
director of senior seminar at Jonathan Edwards
College.

Scully has written extensively. Included among his
most recent books are Modern Architecture, The
Earth, the Temple, and the Gods: Greek Sacred
Architecture, and Louis I. Kahn. He seems to be
mainly interested in modern architecture and more
specifically the contemporary architecture of this
country. Yet, he has also done study in the
architecture of the Ancient Greeks. One of the
aforementioned books, The Earth, the Temple, and
the Gods, views the architecture of the Greek temples
from the standpoint of how they fit into their natural
surroundings.

Private schools spring up in

South-quality ed. threatened

by FRAN FULTON

That parents should turn to private education is
understandable. Po them il seems thai the federal
government is more interested in broad social issues
than in the education of (heir children.

This development is due to a widespread
dissatisfaction with much that is liberal in public
education. Consolidation - with the resulting large
classes - sex education, and the banning of scripture
readings and prayer have all contributed to this
attitude. A fear of integration is, however, largely
responsible for this terrific increase in private
schooling.

It is difficult to measure exactly the growth of new
segregationalist institutions. To begin with, Georgia
does not keep an official record of its private schools.
It is, moreover, difficult to separate in the unofficial
counts the well-established schools from those that
have appeared recently as a response to integration.

As of 1967, there were at least 200 "segregation
academies" in the 1 1 southern states, (.rowing
rapidly since the 1964 Civil Rights Act, many have
opened since this date. About 35,000 Georgians
attend the state's private schools this year, an increase
of 5,000 over last year.

What, then, are the effects of this movement on the
students? Most private schools need not worry about
accreditation. (Beauty and barber schools, it should
be noted, are carefully licensed.) The newspaper
"South Today" describes the situation well: "It has
been siad that in Georgia all that is needed to start a
private school is a teacher, a pupil, and two exits in
case of fire."

Lacking accreditation, the resulting variations in
the quality of private schooling are inevitable. College
admission boards are relying more and more on
standardized tests; accreditation has thus become
most important as an indication of the general
prestige of the school instead of the quality of the
education it offers.

Brock study on
campus unrest

"The problems confronting higher education are so
complex that no study or analytic effort yet
mounted can really claim to be comprehensive. 1 v ith
this qualification Hon. William E. Brock, a me. iber of
the House of Representatives from Tennessee
prefaced a report to the President on student u irest.
Submitted in June, 1969, the report was drawn up by
22 congressmen who undertood a volunteer tour of
colleges and universities last spring.

The main concern of the group was "the
acquisition of some degree of personal understanding
of the nature of the problem." The group feels that
they achieved "substantial success" with respect to
this goal, although the Congressmen came away from
the tour both "alarmed and discouraged."

To the student used to the rigors of an academic
paper the Brock report borders on the obvious. It is
replete with board generalizations and impressions
and has no documentation in facts or figures to
undergird the validity of the conclusions.

The Brock campus tour did recognize the main
undercurrents of student unrest: "genuine concern
over what it feels is the difference between the
promise and performance of America."

The study labeled both internal and external
factors which it recognized as important in campus
unrest. They identified a widespread criticism of the
students over the inability to communicate with
administration and faculty and many complaints
about the lack of responsiveness to student demands.
Students saw the university as a microcosm of society
which fails to practice what it preaches. "

The committee was able to put forth mou
recommendations after their "intensive" study: 1 ) no
repressive legislation, 2) establishment of a
commission on higher education, 3) open
communication to university community, 4) Lower
the voting age to eighteen, 5) Draft reform. 6)
encourage student participation in politics and 7)
expand opportunities for involvement.

The major problem of new schools is one of
financing. Slate tuition grants were once a great help
in funding such schools. These grants were, however,
voided by the federal courts; Mississippi is the only
state attempting to finance its new private schools
through slate grants.

The average tuition per student is $300 a year; for
the well-established preparatory academies this may
rise as high as % 1 ,000. Tuition, however, does not
come near to paying all the costs of a private
education. A large part of the school's funds are thus
provided by private benefactors.

A private school with a segregationalist policy
cannot hope to have any direct aid from the federal
government. Il is not clear, however, that these
schools should also be prohibited from receiving
federal tax benefits, neither the courts not (he
Internal Revenue Service have made a statement on
this problem.

Private institutions also benefit from the support of
local elected officials. This is especially true of
Georgia. Seeing a private school system as the only
means of keeping quality in education, Lester
Maddox has stated that he would like to have at least
100 more such schools in Georgia. Many other
government officials have followed his lead in
supporting these schools.

Perhaps school children will benefit from these
segregated schools. Yet, even if such schools are
well-financed , it is evident that such a private
schooling might have harmful effects on a child's
education.

It is impossible to assure normal quality standards
in a non-accredited institution. Such a school would
not seem likely to encourage a broad-minded altitude
among its students. ' k South Today" sees trie problem
as one larger than a fear of integration. tl Many of
these schools arc motivated by an antagonism
(Perhaps self-deceptive, but real) towards the nation's
ideals. ... The segregated academy, in short, is founded
in part upon ideology, and it is an anti-American
ideology."

Most while segregationalists would certainly think
of "American" ideals in somewhat different terms.
Yet, it is obvious that they are not concerned with
America, but with a small elite. Good education is a
problem too big to be tackled by one part of society;
only through cooperation can it be handled
effectively.

Icelandic to offer
Eur. youth fares

Student fares providing savings of up to $239
round-trip to Europe have been initiated by Icelandic
Airlines. They are the first and only special fares for
individual student travel offered by any trans-atlantic
airline.

The new fares, from New York to Luxembourg in
the heart of Western Europe, are $120 one-way and
$240 round-trip from now through April 30, and
$175 one-way or $350 round-trip from May 1
through September 3 east-bound and June 22
through October 24 westbound.

There are no group requirements and no time
restrictions for return flights other than that
round-trip tickets are valid for a full year.

According to Icelandic, the fares provide round-trip
savings of $239 during the eight-month normal season
and $219 during peak season as compared with the
lowest economy fares of any other scheduled airline.

The special fare is applicable for students enrolled
in an educational establishement (primary through
university level) for a full school year of at least six
months, less vacations. The student must possess a
signed letter to this effect from a school official.
Maximum age limit is 31 .

Happy Thanksgiving

Moratorium's appeal
faced nation in DC

by MARIE NAHIKAN
College Press Service

WASHING TON --(CPS )-The
spirit was one of peace during the
massive march along Pennsylvania
Avenue, Nov. 15 that seemed a
symbolic rebirth, as some
half-million participants began
walking from the Nation's
capitol, where the March Against
Death had ended just hours
before.

While variety seemed the
keyword for the crowd estimates
and the types of people marched
in a light mood through the cold
but sunny city, one aspect was
universal. These thousands of
people were demanding an
end-an immediate end-to the
War in Vietnam. They were
headed by a sign reading "Silent
Majority for Peace." Whether
dressed in the faded fatigues
reminiscent of the soldier on the
move or garbed for a family
holiday outing, the individuals
joined to chant their feelings of
4l One-t wo-three-four, Tricky
Dicky end the war" and Peace,
now; Peace, now."

There were so many people
present that the march started a
half an hour early and was still
going on long after the permit
had expired. Thousands upon
thousands of would-be-partici-
pants had to content themselves
to holding football-like pep rallies
on the mall in front of the

What is the America we seek".'

We seek an America not so
concerned with lowering or
raising voices, as with speaking
the truth.

We do not make guesses about
what the silent majority may be
thinking, rather we heed the
words of Emerson; "If a singk
man plant himself on his instinct
and there abide, the huge worU
will come round to him."

We seek an America thai
understands the power of gentlest
that would "tame the
savageness of man and make
gentle the life of the world."

We say to those who would

Capitol for hours.

The March was slow, but even
Washington's Metropolitan police
seemed to enjoy the spirit of the
crowd, as the New Mobilization
Marshalls brought steaming
coffee and the crowd shared their
lunches with them. As the long
4-lane wide column progressed by
federal buildings, marchers
performed for the secret service
and newsmen located in the
windows. Chants were louder and
feelings more articulate when the
marchers felt they could
demonstrate to a few more
people how thev felt about the
War.

Spectators lined opposite
sidewalks and office windows.
They shouted encouragement to
the marchers in an attitude that
they, too, were among the
vocalizers of dissent against the
War. One wonders about that
"silent majority" at the sight of
two uniformed soldiers smiling
down on the crowd from the
window of the Department of
Commerce Building where they
had pasted a small sign that read
"peace."

As the March reached the
grounds at the Washington
Monument, an almost majestic
quality broke, as once again the
crowd broke into small groups
for the afternoon rally. While
President Nixon carried out his
"business as usual," the City of
Washington could hardly be said
to have the same attitude.
Although the exact numbers will
never be known, a crowd as
aried as its Nation, asked for

Ld. Note: The following is
political opinion column which
will hopefully become a
permanent part of the editorial
page. Anyone interested in
writing or rebutting opinions
expressed here should see
Elizabeth Mathes.

As Washington once again
garrisoned itself against the
onslaught of dissatisfied masses
thes weekend, one could not help
but remember that time a year
and a half ago when we saw our
nation's capitol in flames, as
American troops guarded the US
capitol against its own citizens.
And such was the picture
throughout the country: angry
mobs in a destructive rage,
writing their demands in blood,
broken glass, and flames.

In the wake of these mass riots
and the hate sad fear generated
by them, Richard M. Nixon rode
to the Presidency on a promise of
"law and order." With the help of
a frightened white electorate and
some influential conserative
politions, Nixon was able to win
the election. But the office
carries more than a title and
accompanying glory - it bears the
full weight of the nation's
problems, not the least of which
is the crisis of the poor, black
American whose frustration
forced him into the streets.

After taking office, Nixon
faced three areas of ciritical
concern: Vietnam, civil rights,
and welfare. His success in
dealing with the first is currently
under considerable debate with

reasonalbe argument on both
sides. But it is the second and
third, too often obscured in the
glare of Vietnam with which we
are here concerned.

Our nation is relatively young
in terms of world government,
and its ability to survive may well
rest with the solution of domestic
rather than international
problems. Thus, it is vital that the
government make immediate and
sincere moves against the
ever-strong racial prejudice and
desparate poverty which it
engenders. Yet by its actions thus
far has the Nixon administration
given us any indication that such
massive programs are in the
works?

The answer unfortunately,
must be emphatically NO. Soon
after taking office, Nixon stated
that compliance with the 1954
ruling requiring school
desegregation would not be
demanded by the original
deadline. An obvious concession
to influential southern politicians
who had supported Nixon's
presidential bid, this statement
proved a betrayal to black and
white liberals.

Reasonable people recoginized
from the beginning that
integration would be a slow
process, but the time had come
to start. If the recalcitrant school
districts had not made a
voluntary start in fifteen years, it
was time for a governmental
push. But that push would clearly
not come from Nixon.

Nixon's statement to the

I would be obliged if you would allow me to express my
appreciation of the singing of "Will Ye No Come Back Again?'

nation on welfare reinforced the
already clear trend in his
domestic policies-he is playing
the middle of the road, placating
conservative and abandoning the
poor to the quicksand of
misdirected and inadequate
proposals.

However, a new light has been
cast on the situation by the
Supreme Court ruling requiring
school desegregation in certain
Mississippi districts. Now,
constitutionally, Nixon must act -
but will he?

The answer to this lies in the
same realm as the question of
whether the funds which would
be freed by an end to the
Vietnam was would be redirected
into a massive drive against
poverty. The answer is to both
depend on the spirit of the
administration, on its dedication
to Americans in need or tis
subservice to political interests. Is
our capital still guarded from its
own citizens, not by soldiers but
by governmental ears closed and
eyes blinded to democratic
appeals?

The time has come for Nixon
to stop playing President in the
Thurmond administration. Let us
made the initial step now,
difficult though it may be, to
break the cycle of hate,
discrimination, and poverty.
Perhaps such a step now will
enable us, in a generation or two,
to have peace domestically as
well as internationally.

"Bulletin board courses
courses initiated by
UNIVERSITY of ROCHESTER
students (Rochester, N.Y.)
have been approved by the
Committee on Academic Policy
of the College of Arts and
Sciences. The idea was proposed
last spring by College Cabinet,
the undergraduate legislative
body. Under the plan, a student
interested in starting a course will
post a brief description of it on a
special campus bulletin board.
Interested students, and
hopefully an instructor, will sign
up; if no instructor signs up,
students will try to recruit one.
The course must then be
approved by a special
student-faculty committee and,
ultimately, by the Committee on
Academic Policy.

The Sophomore Hx change
Program at SOUTHWESTERN at
MEMPHIS, a program originally
conceived a number of years ago
to enable sophomores to go to
school at another college for a
semester, has recently been
overhauled to include more
students and to solve some of the
problems the early program
faced. Originally under the
direction of the sophomore class,
it is now handled on an individual
basis. It was formerly the
responsibility of the class officers
to contact various colleges, but
now it is up to the individual
students to make contacts with
the colleges they are interested
in. The program has also been
expanded lo include not only the
sophomore class but also the
junior and senior classes.

McGinniss book finds
Nixon adman's dream

(CPSMf 'The Selling of the
President 1968" tells us anything,
it tells us that despite recognized
need for a political leader who
eould "bring us together/"
Riehard Nixon was sold to the
American voter through a
eampaign whieh soft-peddled
white raeism and took an
ignorant public for granted.

Joe McGinniss should be
criticized only for not letting the
American people in on some of
the "behind scenes" manipulating
which resulted in the election of
Richard Nixon as the 37th
President of the United States
while they still eould do
something about it.

"The Selling of the President
1 968' 1 states, without
reservation, that the American
people were "sold" a bill of
goods during the Nixon
campaign. Surrounded by an
expert team of media
manipulators, Richard Nixon
won on technique rather than
substance. One of those aides is
quoted, candidly, in a
conversation; k \..The most
powerful man in the world. And
he's (Nixon) going to be elected
on what he didn't say. He's
created an image of himself
through cornball sunsets and
WASP-y faces and no one
remembers what he says. Which is
gobbledy-gook anyway, of
course, of course."

The major part of Nixon's
television campaign was centered
around hour long "man in the
arena" shows staged by the
Nixon media troops. Packed with
local members of Republican
clubs for affect, and including
questions tossed at the candidate
by a panel of average citizens, the
shows were geared at regional
audiences. It was in this phase of
the campaign that McGinniss
found the greatest evidence of
racism The feeling among the
"engineers" was that a balanced
panel was essential.

"First, this meant a Negro. One
Negro. Not two. Two would be

offensive to whites, perhaps to
Negroes as well. Two would be
trying too hard. One was
necessary and sale. Fourteen
percent of the population applied
to a six or seven member panel,
equaled one. Texas would be
tricky, though. Do you have a
Negro and a Mexican-American,
or if not, then which?* 1

In the si ill commercials, which
became a trademark of the
campaign, the undertone of
racism was also found. McGinniss
reports the reaction of one of the
creative people in the eampaign
to "political" changes in his
work.

tl They had to change
something in every single spot.
The riot commercial originally
ended with a picture of a Negro
boy staring into the smoldering
ruins of what had been his home.
That had to go: for political
reasons, they said. They (the
Nixon advisors) were afraid
they'd be accused of trying to stir
up sympathy for Negroes who
riot. We also had to drop a shot
of a group of Negroes looking at
the same kind of thing. It wasn't
bland enough. We had to use
uninhabited ruins. "

And so it went. The carefully
planned campaign that won
Richard Nixon a nation and lost
the nation its dignity. But where
are the media men now?

It is a well-known fact that
Nixon feels i 1 1-a t-ease on
television and has, at very best, a
low esteem for the printed media.
In vjew of the image crisis that it
would appear the President is
faced with at present it would
seem that the men who gave the
"image" life in the first place
should be called back to give a
transfusion.

The "new" Nixon of 1968 is
rapidly reverting to the Nixon we
all knew in 1962. His reluctance
to be the "man in the arena" for
reporters over the past months
indicates that his image-makers
really didn't finish their job.

Their kk image" is terribly
insecure about his "image."

So, this morning you fell down
the stairs in Buttrick, this
afternoon you got assigned
another test to add to the
twenty-five coming up next
week, and now your cousin who
looks like liny Tim has called
and asked you to get him a date
for tomorrow night. What you
wouldn't give to go back to the
blissful age of seven, when things
like this just didn't happen. Well,

with M trace of a smile olaying

Saunders slates "You (meaning
the students of Agnes Scot!) are
my family. Why, it' I had a family
of my own, I surely wouldn't
have time for this joh."

Probably serving in one of the
most difficult and least
appreciated capacities on the
Agnes Scott campus is Mrs.
Saunders the individual who is
responsible for the overall
operation of the food service.

Aside from planning the daily
menus, seeing the salesmen,
coping with parties and various
special-occasion dinners, Mrs.
Saunders supervises", some
fifty-five services employees and
two supervisors. In fact, she is
even responsible for training all
the new employees, many of
whom are unskilled workers,
unable to read or write.

When asked if she enjoyed her
work, Mrs. Saunders, who has
been working here for two years,
said "yes," but then reiterated
the fact that if she had a family
of her own, she wouldn't have
time to do it. Mrs. Saunders who
is considered a professional
worker, has no set hours to work,
although she usually works five
days a week from 5:45
a.m.-l 1 :00 a.m. and again from 4
p.m. -7:30 p.m.

Degree of acceptance is an
integral element in deciding
whetherone is happy in a place or
not. When asked if the students,
as she saw it, seemed to
appreciate the efforts of the
dining hall, Mrs. Saunders stated,
"I think the general attitude of
the students is better this year
than last year," and the she
added, "the faculty attitude is
very, very good. There arc not as
many complaints this year as last
year."

coming cold weather, hot soup
has been added to the lunch-time

general academic atmosphere of
this school, Mrs. Saunders has
imposed her own learning

One of her most stunning
success stories is that at first,
students wouldn't touch spinach

even been requests for it. When
asked what the students' favorite

Bowing to this student
demand, Mrs. Saunders is, at
present, in search of a distributor
which sells institution-size hotdog
relish. Students also seem to
especially like pecan pie. With a
bewildered look on her face Mrs.
Saunders added quietly, almost
to herself, " They say they- don't
want to gain weight, but students
really like those fattening foods!" 1

At the Tuesday Rep. Council
m e e t i n g , B o n n i e Brown,
co-chairman of SCRAP (along
with Dean Jones), gave a brief
report on the progress of the
com mission.

No definite plans have been
made as of yet, however, she feels
that their many discussions have
helped to form a background for
future plans

Among the issued considered
by SCRAP so far have been the
problem of a psychological
vacuum created when the rules
are removed, and the possibilities
of employing professional
guidance rather than punitive
measures for the correction of
policy breakage.

The commission also feels that
an atmosphere of
self-examination and of
questioning needs to be, first al
all, present. ...and then
strengthened. Perhaps, the
student body (and maybe even
the faculty) is being "coddled"

SCRAP minutes are to be
posted soon, hopefully.

RC-wise: 78 is in effect for
people with "extended parental

83 and 85 have been passed by

triumphed in all three of her
matches, winning the first two
games in each match.

The freshmen placed first in

I KI N ION, N.J.- (CPS)-Those
students who still brieve change
can be accomplished working
through the political system have
suffered a set-back in the Nov. 5
elections, as referendums to
lower the voting age in two states
failed.

Voters in Ohio and New Jersey
rejected their opportunities to
grant voting rights to 19 and
18-year olds respectively in
referendums considered crucial
tests to indicate the porbability
and f omer states doing the same.
Had the referendums passed, the
possibility for passage of a federal
Constitutional amendment on the
issue also would have been
greatly improved, Youth
Franchise Coalition spokesmen
had predicted.

The double failure by over
300,000 votes (18 per cent) in
New Jersey and about 50,000
votes (1 per cent) in Ohio
seemingly would discourage the
students who campaigned and

Security, and Medicare didn't
pass the first time around either,
but people didn't give up on
them," a VAC spokesman said,
indicating his continuing faith in
the ballot. "We in New Jersey
don't give up easily either.' 1

Wideman noted that a great
deal of campus unrest is the only
thing that could reduce this
year's level of voter support in
future attempts.

At Friday's hockey matches canvassed for months to win the
the seniors defeated the freshman vote -

2-0. Since the juniors lacked a
full team and had to forfeit their
game, the sophomores were
automatically awarded a win. But
in a ten minute game tor fun the
juniors secured the help of wing
Fvelyn Angeletti, a 1969 Scott
graduate.

The earliest possible date for
18-year old voting to go into
effect in New Jersey is 1972, and
then only if 10 per cent of the
voters can be convinced to
change their minds in another
referendum.

New Grapefruit Diet

This is the revolutionary new
grapefruit diet that everyone is
suddenly talking about. Literally
thousands upon thousands of
copies have been passed from had
to hand in factories, plants and
offices throughout the U.S.

There will be no weight loss in
the first four days. But you will
suddenly drop 5 pounds on the
5th day. Thereafter you will lose
one pound a day until the 10th
day. Then you will lose \ x h
pounds every two days until you
get down to your proper weight.
Best of all there should be no
hunger pangs. Now revised and
enlarged, this diet plan lets you
stuff yourself with foods that
were formerly 'forbidden'.. .Such
as big steaks, trimmed chicken,
rich gravies, mayonnaise, lobsters,
swinning in butter, bacon, fats,
sausages and scrambled eggs. You
can eat until you are full, until
you cannot possibly eat any
more. And still you should lose
10 pounds in the first ten days,
plus 1 Vi pounds every two days
thereafter unitl your weight is
down, to normal. The secret
behind this new "Quick weight
loss" is not generally known.

Stuff yourself on the permitted
foods listed in the diet plan, and
still lose unsightly fat and excess
body fluids. When the fat and
bloat are gone you will cease to
lose weight, and your weight will
remain controlled. A copy of this

THE WHOLE WOMAN

"You've come a long way Baby,
to get where you've got to today,
You've got your own cigarette now Baby,
You've come a long, long way."

Few Scotties realize the truth behind the words to
this song. We certainly have come a long way and it
only takes looking back at some old ASC Rule books
to realize just how much.

Turn back the clock, now. The year is 1906 and it
is 9:55 p.m. at Agnes Scott Academy. All the girls are
frantically trying to get ready for bed because lights
have to be out at 10:00. You can understand their
panic when you read in the 1906 handbook that,
"Students must not use bathrooms after the blowing
of the whistle" and "No students will be allowed to
use the water cooler after the light bell."

In 1922, Seniors had the use of lights at their
discretion but underclassmen had to have lights out at
10:00. Evidently, the rule was strictly enforced since
there was the rule that, "Flashlights may be used for
any purpose except studying." A real breakthrough
came in 1923 with the rule that, "Girls are permitted
to visit after lights for five minutes, provided they
observe quiet regulations."

Every girl must have looked forward with great
anticipation to the day when she would be a senior
and could have the following privileges:

t. May use lights at their discretion

II. May be allowed to come into dining-room
late-but are expected to be in their places 15 minutes
after late bell.

III. May visit other seniors after lights and may take
baths after lights. Believe it or not, it was only in
1955 that regulations about lights were abolished.

In 1922 the first regulations about dancing
appeared. Those students whose parents did not
approve of dancing were put on their honor not to
dance. The students whose parents did not object
were allowed to dance in the gym and in'Inman
Lobby. "Objectionable Dancing" was forbidden and
there was to be no dancing on Sunday. The clincher
was that "Men are not permitted to be present at
dancing." In the picture of the 1944 Cotillion Club,
one can see the results of the rule.

Mets and Orioles
rumble in Quad

Anyone who believes that the students on this
campus are apathetic should open his eyes. Certain
events as current as this fall quarter prove the
contrary. Scott students are willing to be involved.
Witness to this fact is the excitement and enthusiasm
generated by the 1969 World Series.

Interested students all over campus gathered
around televisions and radios to learn the results of
each game. At one particular gathering, tension
between opposing fans reached an astounding peak.
Taunts flew with the force of a well-pitched fast ball.
The jeers far surpassed the profanities levelled at an
umpire at the game. Hostilities mounted like a high
pop fly. Finally, a stifling hush paralyzed the room.
The suspense equalled that of a ninth-inning,
second-out, pinch-hit, home-run. "D'ya wanna
fight?"

The challange was immediately accepted. The time
and place were fixed. 10 p.m. Sunday, October 26. In
the Quad. D-Day.

Each side went into training. The Mets, under
manager Christine Snook, set up camp in Hopkins
Hall. Oriole supporters worked out in Rebekah Scott
under the direction of Marian Berman.

At precisely 10:00 on the scheduled evening,
Berman led her group to the Quad. Oriole scouts
reported the approach of the Met gang. When Snook's
gang arrived, sneering through a screen of cigarette
smoke and dressed for open battle, they were greeted
and outpuffed by the cigar- wielding Orioles.

Top cats Berman and Snook, meeting nose-to-nose
between the two gangs, laid the ground-rules for the
rumble. Each side chose two championsto represent
thern in hand to hand combat. Winev vs. Fstes

There were definite rules on dress, or rather
undress. Gymnasium suits, unless covered by a coat
or skirt, were not to be worn on the campus except
on the athletic field. "Bloomers", unless covered by
skirts could not be worn off campus on hikes. As the
rule book so aptly puts it, "Public sentiment at Agnes
Scott does not allow extreme styles of any kind in
dress. Conservative evening dress is worn."

In 1923, it was. "strictly against the ideals of the

college and the laws of the Student Government
Association for any Agnes Scott girl to smoke." It
was an expelling offense. Girls were allowed in 1936
to smoke in private homes if the hostess gave her
specific consent. In 1950, day students were asked
"not to smoke in Decatur or Vicinity during school
hours or at such times when they are known as Agnes
Scott students." It was not until 1954 that smoking
was allowed on campus in the Student Activities
building.

The rules on dating were by far the most comical.
In 1908 guests could be received on Saturday evening
until 9:45 and from 3-6 in the afternoon, except for
Sunday. To see a girl, "Gentlemen Callers must
present letters of introduction from parent or
guardian and must be entertained in the parlors of the
Main Building."

In 1912, students meeting "gentlemen friends" in
Decatur or Atlanta were not allowed to go to soda
fountains or moving pictures with them or to "stand
on the street talking for any length of time."
However, in 1912 the curious rule appeared that.
"Juniors, if they meet a man by CHANCE, may go
with him to the picture show or to the soda
fountain." One can imagine how many "chance"
meetings took place.

Evidently the rule for underclassmen wasn't
specific enough. In 1925, sophomores and freshmen
were not allowed to speak "for over 3 minutes to
men in public places." The underclassmen gained a
major concession in 1926 when they were allowed to
speak to men in public places for 10 minutes instead
of 3.

Lip until 1938, for a Scottie to ride in the car with
a "young gentlemen" it was necessary for a faculty
member or an approved chaperone to ride in the car

Bartlett vs. Gleason. The battles were fought
simultaneously to the rousing cheers of the two sides.
Score at half-time was Orioles-2, Mets-0.

Half-time activities were cut short by Snook's
henchmen as spectators filling the windows of Main
watched in horror. In a shifty move, Mets fans
spirited away one of Berman's combatants. They
bodily transported Patty Bartlett in the direction of
the infirmary pool.

with the couple. (Don't you know that was great fun)

My father, who was at Emory from 1935-39, said
that his fraternity housemother was approved by the
school as a chaperone. Every time any of the boys
would have a tlate with a freshman at Scott, she
would have to ride in the car and go with the boy to
pick up the date at Main. When the party was over
she would then have to ride back to Scott.

However, in 1933, "Juniors and Seniors whose
academic work and general conduct are unquestioned
may leave the campus and return with men- either
WALKING or by STREETCAR until 11:00." In
1944, Sophomores got the same privilege of single
dating, if on streetcars and buses.

1938 was a big year for changes. Instead of faculty
members, a limited number of seniors were chosen
who could chaperon underclassmen and their dates. It
was not until the 1950's that sophomores were,
allowed to single date without chaperons and later
still for freshmen.

Yet, all was not work for Scotties in the early
1900's. There were various means of relaxation, such
as the many clubs. One could join the Basket Weaving
Club, the Hemstitching Club, the Senior Tea Drinkers
Club or become a Rebekah Scott Hall Fire Fighter.

Basketball was a popular sport and the cheerleaders
would push the teams to victory with rousing songs
such as:

"Here come the girls from Agnes Scott,
Hy-O, Hy-O, Hy-O, Hy-O.
We raise our banners from the top,
Hy-O, Hy-O, Hy-O, Hy-O.
We greet you with the purple and white,
A rig-a-dig-gig and away we go,
Hy-O, Hy-O, Hy-O, Hy-O.

Hot pursuit by the Orioles brought the two sides
face to face across the troubled waters of the
fountain. Bartlett got a much closer look at those
waters. Meantime four campus cops, several
star-struck and strolling couples, and a substantial
gallery from Walters watched curiously.

At this point the gangs dispersed peaceably
returning to the haven of their books.

Sidewalk syndrome

Students unite. The time has come to rise up
and strike a blow for freedom and responsibility.
We must destroy the very symbol of the frame of
mind of this campus - the sidewalks.

The existing sidewalk system does not get you
where you want to go, rather it leads you on by
detours, stopping short and off center of the
desired goal. No' doubt all have noticed that a
sidewalk is laid alongside of Buttrick and proceeds
to the center of the Quad where it branches into
three distinct parts. The original sidewalk is
nowhere, man.

The sidewalk leading directly from the front
step of Buttrick is equally goalless. It extends to
the columnade, proceeds over what amounts to a
stile and out to the deadend driveway. This
sidewalk definitely does not connect with the
sidewalk leading out of the front gate. That aate
can only be reached directly, from the portals of
Main - and the D.O.

These two walkways are only examples of an
invidious plan to create a subconsious setting of
aimlessness for the student mind. Its success
cannot be questioned. How else can one account
for the fact that a senior panics at the thought of
graudation? Never having been forced to select a
goal and go directly to it, how can she be
expected to choose a career? As the sidewalks
drift, so do the students.

Only the pangs of hunger have overridden the
strictures of the Labyrinth. Students have
overstepped brick borders to blaze a large mud
path from Buttrick to Letitia Pate. The permanent
sidewalk originates at the Lib.- a subtle hint no
doubt. Why the animal is stronger than the
intellect is a question for philosophers, but it is a
fact that few people other than lizards frequent
the Lib at noon, and everyone knows lizards eat
bugs. The Lib. -Letitia link seems useless.

Is it not significant that students are encouraged
to leave the Lib and head straight for dinner when
there is no direct route back from Dorm rooms?
One must conclude that either students are being
subtly discouraged from use of the Lib, or
encouraged to eat and read the live long day.

We are being manipulated. If there is anything
that is established, it is a sidewalk. Truly, the
sidewalk is a symbol of the establishment, being
both slippery and devious. It must be eliminated if
students are to achieve true status. To arms!

A FRESHMAN'S EYE VIEW

Being a freshman is a once in a
lifetime opportunity, or so they
tell me. It's hard to think of the
Central of Georgia freight as an
opportunity at 4:30 in the
morning. The engineer, chief
whistle blower, or what ever,
must get his kicks by holding the
whistle cord down from
McDonough to Candler streets,
with special emphasis outside
Hopkins.

The first time the frosh were
exposed to this little bit of
Americana made a lasting
impression that will be rivaled
only by the effect of Gabriel's
trumpet. This was after Thursday
afternoon, evening, and night of
orientation; walking, talking,
listening, learning, trying to
absorb, and soaking feet. The
same night room mates were
presented. As if getting used to a
tripple with two closets, twelve
square feet of floor space, lost
luggage, no light, and strange
people wandering in and out
weren't enough, the train chose
that time to make its debut.

Then there was the first
traumatic experience with the
door knobs- scuffing shoes on the
floor's carpet and then touching
the metal. Shocking. And don't
forget the shades- it takes real
talent to catch on to getting the
shade up without having it go
insane, spinning around at the
very top, slapping against the
ceiling with the cord wrapping
itself around the curtain rod so

you have to climb into the
window to untangle it.

You know what happens after
you've balanced so carefully; all
bent backwards, hands on the
ceiling, feet on the sill; and are
reaching with your little finger
nail for the pull. Naturally,
Roomie walks in and makes that
intellectual, collegiate type
remark, "Whatcha doing'?" This
illicits a muttered reply through
gritted teeth into your left
clavicle- just enough movement
to cause your right index finger,
the only hold on sanity and
balance you have, to slip; with
devastating results.

Who ever said this was an all
girl school was out of their mind.
There are three types of male
invaders- parents, repairmen, and
worst of all, telephone men.
Fathers, especially, are shy, and
rather embarasscd. They cower in
the lobby or on the porch, open
the door a fraction of an inch and
announce conscientiously, "MAN
ON THE HALL," even though
it's the middle of the afternoon.
This they repeat every two steps
until it reverberates down the
hall.

Workmen and repairmen,
however- watch out for candy
and Coke machine fillers- come
earlier in the day, sneak into the
dorm and say once or twice, in a
normal tone of voice and at the
head of the hall "Man On The
Hall." But it's the telephone men
you really have to be prepared
for. They are the ones who stand
outside the bathroom door as

REMINDER

Students are reminded that
due to the rash of meetings
and committee work sched-
uled for this week, NO classes
will be held. This is intended
to "give students an opportu-
nity to finish up last minute
minutes, petitions, correspon-
dence, etc.", according to the
Dean's Office.

To the Editor:

Concerning the Student
Government Convocation last
\Y e d n e s day- w h e r e have ou r
"Leaders" been for four years?
Isn't it time we stopped rehashing
ideals on which no one can agree
and begin discussing the specific
areas for change with an idea
toward realistic compromise?
Many of us are tired of hearing
the same old monologue on
'responsibility,'' ''the
community", "honor", ad
infinitum. Although these ideas
are admirable, along with apple
pie, motherhood, and the flag,
they are being worn out in an
attempt by our policy makers to
placate the student body and
avoid dealing with the changes
which are -imperative if the
broadening gulf between student
government and the students is to
be narrowed. A toast to the day
that didactic polemics on "The
Honor System" give way to
meaningful dialogue on broad
guidelines for sign-out, time
limits, the drinking policy, etc.

To the Editor:

As an alumna of Agnes Scott
who has gone on to higher
degrees in the groves of academe,
I should like to make a suggestion
for the improvement of the
college community. Having
earned a Ph.D in English by

HI, I am sure you will agree that I
am well qualified to speak upon
the social problems of the
campus community.

Let us look together at the
alumnae garden, meant to be a
place of thoughful repose and
refuge among the beauties of
nature. What do we find? A
NAKED STATUE!!!

Obviously this is a communist
plot to undermine the morals of
our girls. Under the influence of
this prurient decadence, girls have
actually been seen to sunbath in
brief bathing suits! We must
remove this desecration of the
memory of our sainted
name-sake. We must relegate
bathing suits to their proper place
- the bath tub.

With Deepest Concern!

There you are in your best

against the wall with a phone box

Sometimes, if you're lucky,
they'll even mutter the warning

you casually walk past and to
your room which just happens to
be one hundred yards away at the
end of the hall, trying to a)hold
the towel up, or b)hold your

The Stars and You

SAGITTARIUS (November
2 2-December 21): Hi there,
Clumsy! After a whole quarter
of falling down steps, spilling
coffee, falling up steps, and
tripping over your own feet in
general, if you get to Buttrick
without breaking your neck the
worst part of exams will be over
for you.

CAPRICORN (December
22-January 19): Seek out
pleasant working conditions,
where you can concentrate on
your work. You need quiet, a
place with mild temperature, an
opportunity to relax at intervals
and pleasant nutritious food. Try
a hotel room in Miami Beach.

AQUARIUS (January
20-February 18): In the next few
days the temptation will be to
scatter your energy over a broad
range of activities, try to devote
your attention to one thing at a
time. Prepare for some passing
moments of confusion or
misunderstanding. Don't take any
wooden nickels.

PISCES (February 19-March
20): This is the time of the year
when you fish begin to swim
upstream against the tide of
oceans of work. You will be fine
as long as you continue to swin.
Don't sink to the bottom and
become entangled in seaweed.
Next year you can swim
upstream to spawn.

ARIES (March 21- April 19):
The coming week holds great
challenges in store for you and
will provide many opportunities
for you to discover the depths of
your inner strength.

TAURUS (April 20- May 20):
You will soon meet a tall dark
stranger who will hand you a
brown envelope containing a
mysterious manuscript. Be
prepared.

GEMINI (May 21- June 20):
Because of your dual nature, you
will be faced with many conflicts
between your mind and your
body. Your mind will tell you to
study, pass and get ahead. You
body will tell you to eat, sleep,
live.

CANCER (June 21- July 22):
Don't be a crab! Sure your
roommate threw away your exam
schedule and every note you ever
took was destroyed in a flash fire
in the study smoker and you've
developed an immunity to
No-Doz. Think of others they
have their problems: and they
have to live with you.

LEO (July 23- August 22):
Now is the time to display your
inherent leadership qualities.
Lead the way to the library to
study, lead the way to Buttrick
to take your exam, lead the way
to the airport to fly home.

VIRGO (August 23- September
23): You have let the quarter by
and are behind in everything. Go
die Library. Go directly to the
library. Do not pass Go. Do not
collect $200.

LIBRA (September 23-
October 22): During the coming
days try to maintain balance in
your activities. Try to balance
fifteen textbooks and twenty
notebooks in each hand while
walking to the library. Try to
balance your diet and your sleep.
Balance a beachball on your nose
while standing on your head. It
will be just as effective.

SCORPIO (October
23-November 21): Try to curb
your stinging Scorpion wit while
conveying the scintillating pearls
of knowledge gleaned from the
recesses of your mind. Things will
be bad enough-Don't insult your
professors, too.

Poor old Elizabeth Mathes
made a pitiful pica on Tuesday
which touched the hearts of each
and every Rep Council member:
No one wants to help work on
the Profile. Everyone enjoys
reading it, but no one is willing to
spend their precious time
producing it.

As things stand now, the paper
results from the efforts of four
people, primarily. This work load
is not justified by student interest
and the staff is concerned that
thc paper is degenerating into the
personal magazine of only a few.

Mathes knows all too well that
the PROFILE lacks "charisma;'
however, she regrets to say, that
if the staff isn't reinforced soon,
the paper may even fizzle out for
good. "We wouldn't have so
much to do if we could interest
more people in giving a couple of
hours a ^eek," she went on to
say.

At 6:40 p.m. two unknown

around the Dining Hall in a dazed
manner carrying cafeteria trays.
They too attracted attention,
being, in a sense, fish out of

cleared (not clean) table, they
seated themselves and began to
eat unconcernedly.

Far less indifferent were a table
of malingerers over coffee.
Breaking off their discussion of

to scrutinize the males. A heated
conversation ensued over who the

Social Ps y

Wednesday, December 3,
1969, Dr. Miriam Drucker,
Professor of Psychology,
challenged Sheri Roberts, Junior,
to a competition to see who
could do the most sit-ups and
push-ups. The challenge evolved
out of a discussion of
vitality-youth versus age-during a
Social Psychology class. The
challenge was accepted.
Thursday, December 4, Drucker
reported that her protector, i.e.
Mr. Drucker, refused to let her
carry through her challenge due
to the possibility of unpleasant
consequences-(aches and pains).
Roberts thereupon expressed her
wish that Mrs. Drucker thank Mr.
Drucker on her behalf.

On the slightly sick side of
humor we must face the fact that
exams arc here and that we will
somehow have to accomplish the
feat of the * 'royal cram" once
again. However, many authors of
our texts, appreciating the
student's position, have
attempted to liven up their text
books with humor.

For example the MODERN
CULTURAL ANTHROPOLOGY
text by Brock enlightens us:
"...life in trees calls for good
vision rather than keen scent, and
nearly all the Primates do have
acute color vision: also. Primate
eyes tend to face forward (rather
than to the sides) and most are
able to see objects in three
dimensions (a handy trick if you
are going to go leaping from limb
to limb)." Thank you Mr. Brock.

The ORGANIC CHEMISTRY
text also provides us with an
important note: "We must
remember that everything
(except, of course, a vampire) has
a mirror image, including
molecules."

The authors of MODERN
UNIVERISTY PHYSICS have
shown great ingenuity in some of
their problems. For example: "A
student determined to test the
law of gravity for himself walks
off a skyscraper 900 feet high,
stopwatch in hand, and starts his
free fall (zero initial velocity).
Five second later, Superman
arrives at the scene and dives off
the roof to save the student, (a)
What must Superman's initial

Analogies are also inserted for

Role reversal - student Linda Wilson becomes
teacher to Eva Lewis.

Laubauch, which is a simplified phonetic method
combining sounds and pictures and as many other
senses as possible to aid learning.

Materials consist of reading S killbooks; and
supplementary pamphlets. Laubauch also puts out a
simplified newspaper to enable students to keep up
with what is going on. Two books on math which
teach arithmetic by counting money have been added
these materials.

Presently there are only three Scott students
tutoring. They are: Linda Wilson who tutors Eva
Lewis; Tyler McFadden who tutors Ella Anderson;
and Nancy Newton who tutors Emma Lois. Tyler
commented that the Laubauch method was "the
most practical of any way of learning to read I've ever
seen."

Nancy Newton enjoys teaching. "The best thing
about it is getting to know Emma Lois. She's so eager
to learn."

Mrs. Hammond says she is looking forward to a
good follow-up to last year's progress. Students who
have or have not signed up already are needed and
welcome to come to the workshop this weekend.
Emnlovees have signed up and are awaiting tutors.

AAUP sets goals
for academic work

The Agnes Scott chapter of the American
Association of University Professors (AAUP) headed
by Ronald Wilde, Assistant Professor of Mathematics,
has endorsed the following goals for academic
excellence. These goals were set forth by the local
AAUP chapter's committee on Academic Standards.
They were endorsed by the entire faculty at the
AAUP meeting Dec. 5, 1969.

The GOALS FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE as
endorsed by the Agnes Scott chapter of AAUP are as
follows:

1. The fostering of creativity: the development of
responsible originality, wherever feasible, in
classroom, laboratory, art studio so that ideas do
not remain inert nor techniques become merely
automatic routines.

2. The stimuiaiion ot man's natural curiosity or
accurate information and a respect for "facts."

3. The development of the power of criticism,
directed both to one's own creative ideas and to
the methods by which information and "facts"
are gathered.

4. The stimulation of the imagination to
entertain possible alternatives in ideas, art-styles,
and modes of explanation.

5. The fostering and nourishing of at least the
beginnings of self-commitment to some freely,
yet critically, adopted act of values.

6. Th/ translation of these values into action
within the concrete situations of one's own time
and place.

7. The maintenance of a responsible concern for
turning the products of man's technical
inventiveness (such as new art media, new
scientific techniques) into human modes of
expression, as instruments for creative
possibilities; a refusal to regard automation and
new developments either as final ends or as
inherent threats to man's human values, but to
approach them as challenges to turn what man
has made into means of achieving human and
spiritual values.

Tutors needed now
for Literacy Action

by BEV WALKER

Two members of the Literacy Action Foundation
(LAF) will be on campus to conduct a workshop for
prospective tutors on Saturday, Jan. 17 from 9 to 4
and Sunday, Jan. 18 from 2 to 5 p.m. in Room 102
Buttrick. All students wishing to tutor must complete
this workshop.

According to Nancy McGee, chairman of the Scott
program which is sponsored by Christian Association,
48 students have signed up for the project. Last year,
tutees consisted only of Agnes Scott employees.
Because of the large number of students signed up for
this year, tutors will have the opportunity to work
either with employees, school dropouts, students
from Decatur High School, or kids from the
children's home across from Columbia Seminary,
according to Mrs. Mary Hammond, Executive
Director of LAF.

Mrs. Hammond said, "I was very pleased with the
reaponse of last year's students. Agnes Scott was one
of the first colleges to take on the program as a
school project. As a result of this experience other
colleges have started their own programs. Both
Georgia Tech and Clark College now have them."

"The essential aim of LAF is to help the nonreader
and the semi-reader to improve his reading and
writing skills so he can find his place in society and
hold it," says Hammond. The major method used by
Literacy Action to accomplish this aim is the

A master puppeteer at work: Peter Arnott.

OPEN SCRAP

With feet dangling from the balcony and people
sitting in the aisles, 400 to 450 people filled the
Blackfriars' Theatre whose capacity is normally only
312. During a three day visit to Scott on January 7,
8, and 9, Dr. Peter Arnott, professor of drama at
Tufts University, gave three marionette performances
to large and enthusiastic crowds.

Arnott presented Doctor Faustus Wednesday
evening, Oedipus the King, Thursday, and mystery
plays, 'The Creation," "The Temptation," "Cain and
Abel," and "Noah's Flood" during the chapel period
Friday.

, Although Arnott has had puppets for as long as he
can remember, producing serious play-s through the
medium of marionettes began as a hobby for him. Ar-
nott states that the occupation "has become more
than half my life."

He designs and makes the stage, puppets, and
costumes for all his plays. His repertoire now contains
about seven plays, the spectrum including plays from
the ancient Greeks through the end of the
seventeenth century. Although all of the some
twenty-five plays which he has ever done are from
this period, he also stated that he should like very
much to doTheaterof the Absurd.

Perhaps it is Dr. Arnott's philosophy of
puppeteering which is the most interesting. Greek
theatres were comparable in size to today's football
stadiums, and the actors wore masks. The playwright
thus was forced to put every emotion into words. The

reenactment of these plays in a modern theatre
produces a "problem of size, and scale, and
perspective/" This problem can be greatly overcome

however, through the theatrical medium of
marionettes. These figures present the proper scale to
the audience and produce no facial expressions.

The use of such a medium also conveys to the
audience- part of the Greek attitude towards acting.
The actor himself was decentralized, and it was rather
what was said that was of importance. The Greeks
didn't attend the theatre to see a certain actor but
rather to see the play itself. The individualism of the
characters was transcended in presenting a play that
was an artistic whole. This effect is also achieved with
marionettes.

The medium is fitting for medieval plays as well.
The characters in these plays were usually strictly
black or white so that it is difficult for the modern
actor not to try to make the character a whole being;
he attempts to "treat the text as a psychological case
history." The use of puppets can resolve this
problem.

Arnott went on to say trying to make puppets
into little people is an insult to an audience's
intelligence. It is for this reason that he, the
operator, remains fully visible and makes no
attempt to conceal his hands. The puppets are not
alive and he wants his audience to remember this.
Furthermore in Dr. Arnott's opinion, pupperty
should be considered a high theatrical art and not
simply a gimmick for kiddie shows.

By being a one man show, Arnott says that he is
able to feel the mood of the audience and adapt his
play accordingly. There are disadvantages to such a
situation too. The "utter lonliness of it all" is
frightening since there is no one to share ideas with or
help when things go wrong.

Surely you weary of our importunities as
much as we.

It has come to our attention through various sources
that many subscribers to the PROFILE have not
received issues of the paper regularly, and, in some
cases, at all. We wish to extend a sincere apology for
this inconvenience and to assure you that everything is
being done to insure the papers arrival on our part. The
papers are mailed, second class, at the Decatur post
office every week.

However, mail service seems to be erratic. We need
your assistance in alleviating the problem. If you have

notify Debbie Jordan, Business Manager - Box 764 -
Agnes Scott College, and we will do our best to rectify
the situation. Thank you for your patience.

Since the beginning of the
winter quarter, Rep Council has
debated two main issues: the
procedure to fill vacant positions
in student government and the
election of sophomore
representatives.

The first issue which Rep has
discussed at length concerns the
filling of student government
positions which might become
vacant, unexpectedly. (For
example, a number of positions
were married off this past
summer). This question is dealt
with only vaguely in the
handbook, and it is felt that a
definite procedure needs (:o be
specified.

The lengthy discussion
centered mainly around the
question of whether or not the
positions should be filled by
appointment or by election.
Elections, of course, appear to be
the more representative, however,
they are not always feasible since
it would be impossible to call the
entire student body together to
elect a new judicial during the
heat of the summer.

Rep did come to an agreement
on this issue with the idea that
vacancies would be filled by
temporary appointments, which
would become permanent if they
are unchallenged by the student
body. In this way, a member of
the student body has a chance to
petition for a temporarily-filled
office. The Committee on the
Constitution is to prepare
legislation in this vein.

Concerning sophomore Rep
elections, here are various
entanglements. Many people feel
that after being here only two
quarters, the freshmen are not
known well enough by the
upperclassmen to insure a
responsible vote. Therefore,
upperclassmen should not be
allowed to vote in the election of
sophomore Reps.

On the other nand, some
people feel that many
sophomores, juniors, and seniors,
will be qualified to vote by
election time. Should it be
stressed to these people that they
may vote if they do so
responsibly?

This touches on another related
question which is presently being
examined in Rep Council: Are
the freshmen qualified to receive
a full vote in all spring elections?
No formal vote has been taken on
this issue. What do you think?

QUOTF OF 1MI WFI K

For various reasons I have in
the past few months found
myself embroiled in numerous
discussions, many of which
degenerated into simple
contention. This has not been
unrewarding, however, for I have
discovered a method to end
almost all arguments especially
those which I begin losing.

It is really quite simple. When
your "opponent" makes a
particularly decisive point, simply
ask (slowly and carefully stressing
each word): "Perhaps. But is that
really relevant?" (It is all but
essential to draw out the word
"really".) If your opponent is
sharp, he will not permit himself
to be placed on the defensive but
will ask you: "Relevant to
what?" Now you have him.
Reply very matter-of-factly and
rather pedantically. 'To the
whole of our existence." Even if
you have not "won," you have at
least clouded the issue beyond
recognition.

Will the 70's produce
reforms in the draft?

by NORMA SHAHEEN

The United States has just
passed through a decade of
violent dissent, and the first
weeks of the seventies show no
signs of conditions changing. In
spite of Mr. Nixon's campaign
rhetoric to "bring us together
again", the United States is the
same unhappy land he inherited a
year ago.

Realizing that achieving
cohesion in U.S. society may be
an impossible task, it might be
interesting to examine a main
factor of discontent among some
groups-the political impotence of
a majority of Americans.

The source of frustration for
many is the incongruity between
popular political conceptions of
America as a participant
democracy and the actuality of
rule by a political elite. Political
scientists consider popular
theory a myth, and they prove
this myth by statistics that show
only three to four percent of
American citizens take any active
role in political decision-making.
This figure does not include
voters as active participants, only
the minority who involve
themselves beyond the voting
level.

Although this fact is
frightening to me and apparently
to political idealists, it is accepted
by legislators at all levels and
seems to be perpetuated by White
House attitudes. An example is
the member of the Georgia State
Legislature (which convened

Monday in Atlanta) who
discussed one aspect of this
problem last week. In answer to a
question concerning the degree to
which he was influenced by
constituency pressures, this
young legislator discounted it
almost completely. Speaking
candidly about his district (which
is an affluent suburban area), he
noted that on most issues his
"constituency can be
manipulated" and is most
interested in remaining quiet.

The President seems to accept
this situation with equanimity as
he looks to the "Silent Majority"
for his base of support. He seems
to be discounting all political
activities by his obtuse attitude.
Surely there are differing degrees
of responsibility among political
dissenters' Mr. Nixon rejects all
attempts at political involvement
by a minority when he accepts
the "mandate" of a silent and,
one would suppose, indifferent
majority.

I am not suggesting that Nixon
or any other politician should be
swayed by an irresponsible
though vocal minority. Merely
the fact that a minority is vocal
does not predetermine that it be
irresponsible, however; and the
President and other groups in the
U.S. political power structure
seem to be stifling valid attempts
at political involvement and
therefore perpetuating a political
apathy that could have grave
consequences in this new decade

'The Reivers'-reality
interjected into order

PAGE 3

by ANN ABERCROMBIE

To everything there is a season,
and for Holly woocf this has surely
been a season of doubt and
anxiety. Diverse films such as
"Alice's Restaurant," "The
Sterile Cuckoo/' and "Midnight
Cowboy" have in common a
non-committal ending which
leaves the viewer confused-not
exactly disappointed, but a little
off-balance. No order is restored
at the end of these
tragi-comedies.

To such doubt and ambiguity,
the solid dignity of Lucius
McCaslin's world in "The
Reivers' -a world ordered by the
benign dictatorship of his
grandfather, Boss-makes a
refreshing contrast.

The plot of "The Reivers" is
simple. Lucius's family including
Boss, is called away from
Jefferson to attend a funeral.
Left alone, his own boss for once,
the eleven year old boy is
beguiled by Boon Hogganbeck
into taking Boss's brand new
Winton Flyer and going on a
holiday to Memphis. The
resultant odyssey acquaints
Lucius with quite a few ugly
things he never imagined existed
before-bullies of all sizes and
ages, tainted damsels in distress,
who are nonetheless beautiful
and good, and the sheer joy and
power of a mighty steed spurred

on by--a sardine?

Anyway, Lucius is our hero,
with red hair and dimples, but
not without weakness and a
tendancy to pout occasionally.

Director Mark Rydell refuses to
idealize the boy or anything in
the film. The first chords of the
theme create a nostalgic
fairyland~a gentle land with
gentle people, as narrator Burgess
Meredith kindly tells you. Yet
this fairyland gradually increases
in reality as the movie progresses.

Lucius discovers that the order
which Boss maintains in Jefferson
is not universal and that his own
responses to realities outside
Jefferson are far more complex
and confusing than he had
suspected. The ugliness and
sordidness of the world outside
Jefferson strikes him hard, but
saves both the boy's journey and
the film from becoming a -childish
escapist episode.

We can relax knowing that
we're not being duped into
believing that the world is a
lovely pastel place where nothing
matters but our own delight.
Because Lucius almost forfeited a
horse race by pouting, and
because he had to struggle to face
the reality of the ugliness he
found, he has earned his joy in
the sheer strength and speed of
the sardine-crazed horse. This is

the tension in the film, without
which it would be sticky sweet.

This tension together with the
benign, understanding authority
of Boss creates the spontaneity
and joy of the story. The
1 i g h th ear t ed , nostalgic
photography, the wild
spontaneity of Steve McQueen
and Rupert Crosse as Boon and
Stringbean, and the superb
performances of the supporting
actors provide a delightful
background to the interaction
between Mitch Vogel and Will
Geer as Lucius and Boss. For
once, Hollywood, in its season of
despair and chaos has allowed
itself a time of order and a time
of joy.

The Age of Aquarius-

peace, love, astrology

by FRAN FULTON

"This is the dawning of the Age
of Aquarius." So the astrologers
predict; an age of peace and love
is upon us. Whether or not one
believes that Aquarius is on its
way, it is certain that astrology
has arrived.

Signs of this are everywhere,
from the lyrics of "Hair" to
zodiac-emblazoned Tiffony
cocktail glasses. Why this sudden
popularity of astrology?

For those uninitiated in
astrology, here are some basic
facts. Mention of the art appears
in some of the earliest records of
man, in those of the Babylonians
of 3,000 B.C. Noticing that some
stars seemed to "wander"
through the sky, early man gave
these stars (the planets visible to
the naked eye) the names of the
gods. Thus, Jupiter was once called
"Marduk," the King of the gods.

Through the study of the stars
man found an order to the
universe; he learned to make
calendars and to forecast the
seasons. As time passed, astrology
was used to predict the affairs of
man.

The art spread as far as India
and was widely practiced by the
Romans. (Et tu, Brutus?)
Evidence of its popularity during
the Christian era is seen in the
Church's many denunciations of
the art - St. Augustine is an
example.

The real challenge came, not
from the church, but from
science. The Copernican
revolution literally turned the
world of the astrologer
upside-down, for when man
found a scientific explanation for
his world astrology began to
decline.

Yet, to our modern age of
technology astrology has
returned. It is becoming
increasingly respected, no longer
the art of the lunatic fringe.

Although no believers in
astrology, those in the British
Secret Service, for example, saw
in the art tremendous
possibilities. Rudolph Hess and
other Germans surrounding Hitler
were known to practice the arts
of the occult; Hitler himself was
considered to be under the
guidance of an astrologer.

FubUc figures a little more
highly respected than Hitler have
been connected with astrology.
Tom Buckley, in his New York
Times article on astrology, quotes
a man who claims to be the
astrologer for none other than
Queen Elizabeth. "You know
that Her Majesty has a perfectly
awful horoscope. She was
crowned at the only appropriate
moment for a decade."

I doubt that the Queen would
be flattered to hear about her
horoscope. It would be
impossible to say that either the
British Secret Service or the
Royal Family take astrology
seriously. But who today really

believes in this art? Sit up Scott -
it seems that it is the women and
the young of our society who
accept astrology.

Why women? Dr. Donald
Kaplan, a psychoanalyst in
Greenwich Village also
interviewed by Mr. Buckley, has
some interesting ideas on the
subject. According to him, three
times as many women as men see
astrologers, due in part to the
fact that women are not ashamed
to admit that they need to rely
on the guidance of the stars.

That the young turn to the
stars seems also to be easily
explained. "Stimulated by the
expansive visions produced by
marijuana and psychedelic
drugs," they are, according to
Buckley, "intent on establishing
closer connections with the
cosmos."

Beginning in September
1970, former Secretary of
State, Dean Rusk, will be a
professor of international
law at the University of
Georgia. Rusk's appointment
was confirmed with a 9-4
vote by the Board of
Regents amid much
controversy and debate.

The academic offer from
the University of Georgia
was long in co ming.
Newsweek magazine quoted
on of Rusk's old Cabinet
colleague as saying 'There
just aren't too many
possiblilites for him. The
problem of Vietnam has a
tendency to close doors."
Gabriel Hanson, assistant
professor of political science
at Agnes Scott said that
because of Rusk's hard-line
policy, he had not been
offered similar posts in
larger universities such as
Harvard, Yale, Columbia,
etc., that would normally
have welcomed a former
Secretary of State with open
arms.

John Gignilliat, associate
professor of history, felt
that the only proper
criterion to judge Rusk for
his appointment at
University of Georgia would
be his academic and
professional qualifications.
"Not one of the jcnticisms
made by the regents against
Rusk was intellectually
respectable", Gignilliat
continued.

According to the Atlanta
Joural, Regent Roy V.
Harris, leader of George
Wallace's 1968 presidential
campaign in Georgia,
admitted that the marriage
of Rusk's daughter to a
Negro was a factor in his
opposition.

In the Atlanta
Constitution, Harris said that
Rusk, who was a Rhodes
Scholar, Head of the
Rockefeller foundation, and
Secretary of State under
both JFK and LBJ, was
unfit to hold a law school
post.

"He has never
studied law, and never been
admitted to the bar. All he
knows is politics and 1 don't
like his brand of politics."

Responding to this quote
by Harris, Edmund
Moomaw, assistant professor
of political science at ASC,
said that Rusk C ould not be
more qualified

to teach international law
since he practiced
international law for eight
years as Secretary of State.

Speaks

What do you think about eating
and drinking in classes; in exams?

Sally Daniels '71:1 don't think
there is anything wrong with it at
all. In exams and classes you
should be careful not to disturb
anyone. You have to decide for
yourself whether or not you are
being rude.

***

Marie Pepe, Associate Professor
of Art: In the art lecture room
where it is dark most of the time
it is too easy to kick over cokes.
It also may be disturbing to
people who are either teaching or
in the class. My main objection
though in both class and exams,
is that it is too messy and I
usually end up having to clean it

Next year the tuition for Scott
students will be raised $100 per
person regardless of year of
entrance. The initial action was
taken by the Executive
Committee and reported to the
Board of Trustees. On October
17, 1969 an increase of $100 was
decided upon.

The reason for the increase is
inflation. In order to maintain its
standards both in professors and
maintenance Scott must be able
to meet the demanding rise in
costs. Scott is not unique in this
situation. As the accompanying
chart shows, other women's
college have also raised their fees.

Tuition Up Again

Another contributing factor to
rising tuition is expansion and
property costs. McCain stated,
"Historically Agnes Scott has
never had enough property. We
started out with only five acres."
McCain stated that there were no
immediate pressures to expand,
but if you anticipate that
doubling the size could be a
future possibility, preparations
should be made. The property
around Agnes Scott now seems to
be more available than it has been
in the past.

Considering the future, McCain
said, "The total cost of education
goes up no matter how many
students you have. With inflation
still likely, pressures for tuition
increase will still be present."

by BEV WALKER

According to Laura Steele,
director of admissions, tuition
pays 52 per cent of the cost of
education. The other 48 per cent
of our education is paid for
through funds, grants, gifts from
alumnae, and businesses. Faculty
salaries, according to Paul
McCain, vice president for
development, are also geared to
tuition. Scott must be able to
compete with rising salaries.
McCain stated that compared to
other academic institutions Agnes
Scott maintained many well
qualified people. Almost
two-thirds have doctorate
degrees. There is no set salary
based on degree though there are
fairly standard rages. Other
factors such as experience and
publications enter into a
professor's salary.

Views expressed in the editorial section of this publication are those of the
majority of the editorial staff, unless signed by the author They do not
necessarily represent the opinion of the administration or the student body.
Published weekly except for examination and holiday periods by students of
Agnes Scott College. Entered as second class matter at the Post Office Decatur
-Ga . ! 1

It seems that the article, "Colleges Base Behavioral
Rules" in the January 18th issue of the Journal and
Constitution caused some disturbance on our campus. For
those of you who did not read the article it was essentially
a comparison of the social rules at Agnes Scott, Emory,
Georgia Tech, and Morris Brown. Granted the article took a
slightly mocking tone towards Agnes Scott. For example,
"Now, except in classrooms where skirts are still required,
the girls wear what they like -shamelessly. "Also a reference
to the smoking lounge where "girls can puff their hearts
out" was felt to be quite unnecessary (though we must
admit a good pun).

The first reaction to what is said about Scott may be
horrifying and we may immediately jump to the defense,
but alas all said is true! The very same things we complain
about-time limits, apartment permission, dress policy- are
made fun of in the article. We are not the only ones who
think we are overprotected!

Some Scott students have taken an amazingly defiant
attitude towards the article. One criticism was that the
article made no mention of Scott's fine academic standing.
It should be pointed out that academics was not mentioned
about the other schools either and is in no way relevant to
the point of the article which is specifically concerned with
"behavioral rules. "

Another criticism was, "I resent being called a
Presbyterian girls school. " Though some Scotties may not
like it it seems that relatively speaking we are essentially a
Presbyterian school. As was found in the Profile series on
"Scotties' Image" most all citizens interviewed in the
Decatur area referred to us as such. We may not like it but
that is our image.

Concerning some of the social regulations mentioned in
the article we must admit they are true. Our time limits are
11:45 during the week and 1 a.m. on weekends. We are
required to sign out. We were never allowed to visit a man's
apartment and still aren't unless we have parental
permission. Students cannot smoke in their rooms. Until
two years ago we did have a "Victorian dress regulation. "
(Some think we still do.) We were encouraged not to be
seen in public in shorts or slacks. Skirts are still requfed in
class.

As much as we may not like wat the article says about us
and can with some justice accuse the author of a mocking
slant this is perhaps being too sensitive-if not hypocritical.
Many of us mock the very same facts the article brought
out. Why all of a sudden do we jump to the defense?
Perhaps our alumi, board of trustees, faculty, and students
will take note.

Dean Julia T. Gary dropped a
large grenade on the campus
during the first 1970
convocation. Graham Jackson's
accordion notes have faded, but
Miss Gary's words still, and will
continue to, bring serious
inspection and introspection
among the majority of students
at Scott.

It is not being "preachy" to ask
such an academic community of
750 intelligent young women
why 10% of the student body is
on the academic ineligible list. In
the case of the freshman class,
ineligibility means that a student
has failed to receive a 0.5 grade
point ratio - D average. There is
no girl presently enrolled, or one
likely to be accepted, who had
such an overall average in high
school.

In early September, Dr. Alston
constantly sang the praises of the
freshman class to admittedly
impressed upperclassmen ,
although Dean Gary admits that
their records are comparable with
those of the four preceding
freshmen classes. But in
December, ten National Merit
Scholars and other assorted
incipient Super-Scotties had not
kept the class as a whole from
producing the largest freshman
ineligible list - in proportion to
class size.

Of course, the freshmen have
every right to gripe if
upperclassmen fail to accept the
fact that many in their classes
seem to be drifting along.
Recovery after a fall is
understandable, but what profits
drifting - nothingness?

During an interview over a
Letitia Pate soyburger, Dean
Gary explained the faculty's
reaction to the ''New
Mediocrity." "For example," she

said, "professors complain that
they get no response in class."
Certainly such a silence gap can
eventually affect one's desire to
teach and lessen one's respect for
the students who are supposedly
in the top 10% of America's high
school crop. An example of this
lack of communication between
student-teacher is shown in one
deaprtment's failure of 25% of
the students taking its
freshman-level survey course.

There is constant criticism of
many courses here. CAP, the
faculty, and the administration
realize^the outmoded "required
courses" and uninteresting
format body can not be blamed
totally on policy, tradition, the
faculty, or even student rebellion.
The picture of 70 bewildered
Benjamin Braddocks floating
around campus trying to avoid
Mrs. Robinson when he's exposed
to her constantly is rather absurb.

The Profile and most other
students would like to know
what enviromental element here
would cause such a drastic change
in the personal philosophy of so
many in our number. Indeed, a
loss of pride in personal
achievement and of youth's
innate inquisitive nature is far
more drastic for an individual
than it will ever be for Scott.
Dean Gary does not know the
answer to the problem; neither
does President Alston. However,
if this school is to retain the
academic ideals around which
SCRAP is building a new,
workable social structure,
someone must find the answer
soon. And "someone" means the
students, the ones who really
count. Physician, heal thyself.

The

Capitol
Spy

by CHRISTINE PENCE m

With the State of the Union
Address behind him and the
Budget report in the making,
President Nixon now must face a
dissatisfied public with an
appealing specific proposal for
internal unification. As Tom
Wicker noted in the Jan. 24 issue
of "The New Republic," Nixon
must appeal to "the forgotten
man, the blacks, the students, the
liberals of Park Avenue, the
'Chicanos,' the intellectuals, the
businessmen, the affluent
suburbanites, the welfare
recipients, the old, the young, the
Applachian poor-all the infinite
variety of a continental
democracy in ferment and
turmoil, caught in the explosive
change of the Twentieth
Century."

His exceptionally general State
of the Union Address concurred
with the popular theory that
Nixon tries to satisfy the
majority, but ends up irritating
the vocal minority. The 10 billion
dollar proposal to rid the waters
of polluton sounds timely, but at
the same time a rise in taxes
which seems inevitable may deter
Congress from passing any
significant legislation.

The taxpayer worries more
about inflation than how his
money is being spent. Perhaps
Nixon's attempt to offer a
balanced budget to curb inflation
will appeal to the masses. Ghetto
areas might appreciate more
recreational facilities, but their
problem cannot be solved with
newer play areas.

The forgotten men, the middle
class suburbanites, will not be
satisfied with crime, riots, and
the tendency of the government
to support the poorer blacks at
their expense. The President
suggested that this year's war
would be one on crime, but guns
won't halt crime that even a
larger, better paid police force
can't stop. The Los Angeles
police force, one of the best paid
forces in the country, continues
to deal with a city with one of
the highest crime rates in the
United States. Our cities are sick,
but more significantly, our
city-dwellers are sick. Obviously
the crime problem cannot be
solved with more funds poured
into a pointless program.

Nixon conspicuously neglected
to talk about the negro
community in his speech. Perhaps
this obvious exclusion served to
show the massive block of
forgotten men that Black would
no longer be the color key to
immediate employment and
instant "success." One wonders
how the Supreme Court will
react.

These next two weeks with the
Budget report proposed specific
legislation hopefully will give the
public an inkling of what's going
on in the Executive Suite. Until
that time, all we can do is have
faith in Walter Lippman's adage
that in a democratic system, the
President will do what is good for
most of the people most of the
time.

Georgia's
Leaders?

bv NORMA SHAHEEN

"It's not the forty days that
gets you, it's the forty nights."
After hearing a comment like
this, you begin to think the
Georgia State Legislature could
hardly be dull. And you would be
right. After three weeks in
session, the fifteen college interns
(three of whom are Agnes Scott
students) have a wealth of
"experiences."

As an attentive intern you
might have sat in on
appropriations committee
meetings where the education
budget was being discussed. One
venerable legislator took a vocal
part in the heated debate for
fifteen minutes before he
remembered to put on his hearing
aid. (Do you ever worry about
the future of Georgia education?)

Another sage from a south
Georgia city gave the interns a
lesson in intelligent voting: "My
policy is -if I don't know
anything about the bill, I vote
no."

The two-week debate on a new
constitution took its toll of both
legislators and interns. One weary
solon viewed the constitutional
questions with disgust, turned to
some interns and declared: "I'm
in favor of anarchy, as long as I
can be king."

Finally the interns have been
introduced to many of the
"characters" of Georgia politics.
One old gentleman in particular
stands out. A seventy-two year
old bachelor from South Georgia,
he entered politics only ten eyars
ago. "Before I went into politics,
I used to organize my loafing,"
he boasts.

People like these make working
at the State Capitol an
enlightening experience. And it
definitely broadens any concepts
you might have of political
science.

er the lottery will continue after
1970 is up to Congress.
' In announcing the random
selection process, President
Nixon said, "I would say that
looking to the future.. .we shall
not be satisfied until we finally
can have the system which I
advocated during the campaign of
a completely volunteer armed
forces."

But Nixon has also said
institution of a volunteer army is
not feasible until the Vietnam
War is ended, and, at the current
rate of troop withdrawal, that
isn't likely to happen very soon.
And though the president has
made the volunteer army one of
h is principal issues, negative
reports from a special presidential
commission on the armed forces
or the National Security Council-
both of which are studying the
concept of a voluntary
army-could postpone further any
executive action on the plan.

So the burden for any quick
change rests with Congress. Sen.

promised last fall that his group
would open extensive hearings on
the draft in mid-February.

Desired reforms include
abolishment of the student
deferments, establishment of
alternate service in social work
for those who oppose military
service of a particular war,
forbidding the assignment of a
non-volunteer to Vietnam, and
establishment of a volunteer
army except when Congress
declares war.

If the Congress does not enact
significant reforms in 1970,
prospects appear bleak for
19-year-olds under the lottery
system in 1971. This year's pool
consists of 19-26-year-olds, but
1 97 1 's pool will consist only of
19-year-olds plus those losing
student or occupational
deferments.

If 1971's draft call is in the
neighborhood of 200,000-which
it has been during the past three
years -then virtually every 1-A
19-year-old who isn't in school
will be drafted. According to
Capt. William Pascoe, Selective
Service Chief Information
Officer, about 1.8 million will
turn 19 during 1970, qualifying
them for the 1971 pool and a
lottery number.

About half that number will be
unfit, either physically or
mentally. Subtracting those who
receive deferments, those who
volunteer for other services, and
those who take steps to avoid the
draft, the total remaining -plus
graduating seniors-may very well
not be enough to meet the year's
draft call.

If the total isn't enough, Pascoe
said, the Selective Service would
induct those who turn 19 during
1971. These people, who
wouldn't have lottery numbers,
would ordinarily be included in
the 1972 pool. If more men were
needed, he said, this order of
induction would be followed:

1. Kennedy husbands-those
deferred for being married prior
to 1965.

2. Non-volunteers 26 and older.

3. 18y 2 - 19-year-olds.

In the meantime, the 1970
draft will receive the close
scrutiny of the National
Headquarters, which recently
decided to limit to the first 30
the lottery numbers that can be
called for the month of January.
January's draft call is 12,500.

(CPA)---California!
Golden State of sunshine and
hea th . Magnetic uptopia,
attracting ever more people to
that great land of opportunity
with the promise of a better life.

Within, a period of 10 years
California will have established
two major milestonesinour
nation's history. First was when
she overtook New York as our 1
most populous state. With her
population growing by 50
percent per decade, the second is
now imminent. Thisnation
within a nation, once the world's
greatest agricultural region, will
soon join the 130 countries and
territories which have people
than they can feed, and are
absolutely dependent upon our
Great Midwest for their survival.

This miserablemassof
humanity, collectively
reproducing ataratewhich
would double their numbers in
less than 25 years, could provide
a valuable lesson to the people of
California. It includes Haiti, once
the wealthiestand most
productiveofall agricultural
regions of Latin America. Haiti is
now the most densely populated,
most miserable, and has the
lowest per capita income to be
found throughoutthatnow
wretched region on squalor.

It also includes lndia,once the
envy of the world because of its
great wealth. The Jewel of the
Orient was the inspiration for
Christopher Columbus and other
European adventurers. N ow
India, with her 540million
people, is a nation of stupefying
dest i tution, unable either to
produce or to pay for the food
she needs. Like a blotter she
regularly absorbsone fourth of
our annual wheat production of
1.2 billion bushels, and "pays"
for it in the "funny money"
program by which we now own
three fourths of all the rupees in
India.

But whereas the
overpopulation of India, Haiti
and other unfortunate regions
was a gradual process built up

over the centuries (Haiti,
discovered by Columbus, was the
first land settled in the New
World,) California stands poised"
hopelessly to overshoot the mark
within a minute piece of human
history. Orange County, which
had 61,375 people when Richard
Nixon was a boy there, holds
1,300,000 today.

Never before in the history of
man has a people rushed in so
furiously to bite the hand that
feeds it. The fabulous agricultural
regions of California are being
subdivided and made into homes,
parking lots and industrial sites at
the rate of 374 acres a day. Even
if thisratewere to remain
constant (it is accelerating), half
the productive farm land now in
the state would be destroyed
within 30 years.

In an attempt to "solve" the
water problem of southern
California, the voters,
outnumbering the bitterly
opposed northerners, approved a
$4 billion bond issue for the
Feather River Project to divert
water from the north. The smell
of water provided at taxpayer
expense attracted land
speculators. Deserts previously
unsuitable for homeswere
subdivided with such a rush that
the new water supply was
gobbled up before it got started.

California's great agriculture
land lies primarily in the Imperial
and San Joaquin valleys. Both are
now in such serious trouble that
they might as well be covered
with asphalt.

Imperial County is consistently
among the nation's top three in
per capita farm income. It was
being irrigated by Colorado River
water 30 years ago when Tucson
and Phoenix were little desert
cow towns. Tucson now has
250,000peopleand Phoenix
500,000. For water supply they
mine the ground for
non-renewable Pleistocene
deposits. Tucson goes down an
additional 1 3 feet per year ;
Phoenix 44. Soon the water will
be gone.

'Cactus Flower'

A hilarious new comedy is now
out. It is entitled "Cactus
Flower" and stars Walter
Matthau, Ingrid Bergman, and
introduces Goldie Hawn. The
movie takes the old plot of
romatic triangles and adds many
complications.

Julian Winston (Walter
Matthau) is a Park Avenue dentist
with an old-maid nurse,
Stephanie Dickinson (Ingrid
Bergman). Julian and the
pixie-like Toni (Goldie Hawn),
whom he met in a Greenwich
record shop, have been having an
affair for approximately a year.
In order to prove to himself that
he is not "hooked" on Toni,
Julian breaks a date with her and
goes out with an Australian
stewardess.

Suspecting this, Toni (in a very
melodramatic scene) mails Julian
a suicide note, prepares the
apartment and her suicidal pose,
and turns on the gas. She is saved
by the boy next door. Julian,

upon receiving the letter, realizes
that he loves Toni and proposes.

Julian's problems then really
begin. He had told Toni that he
was married and had three
children (after all, that is a good
number) to keep Toni from
becoming involved. Toni will not
marry him until she is convinced
that Mrs. Winston wants a
divorce. Toni's insistence she
meet Mrs. Winston to determine
if she wants a divorce and is
happy leads to hilarious,
fast-moving complications.

This movie is worth the price
of a ticket. The acting is great,
and one very easily becomes
involved in the action. Goldie
fully fills her role as Toni. Her
warmth and appeal come through
the screen uninhibited. She has
much more talent than is shown
in "Laugh-In," and, hopefully,
we will see her in many more
roles soon. If you are looking for
an enjoyable evening, "Cactus
Flower" will fit the bill.

The Profile conducted an informal
poll on student-faculty relationships last
week. 32 faculty and 186 students
responded. Answers to the poll were
generally candid. Suggestions were quite
constructive and worth campus
consideration.

The questions on the relationships
between faculty and students showed a
differing point of view. Faculty
generally agreed that the relationship
was a good one. Students, on the other
hand, tended to consider them only fiar.

One student complained that,

Another student: "There seems to be

The faculty comments were varied.
One professor said, "I believe most
faculty members are dedicated, and that
they try to bend over to give all help
possible to their students. They are
willing to go the "second rnile" to be of
service all the time."

But another teacher felt that
"students do not have any interest in
knowing the faculty. Also they do not
have 'time!"

Seminars and lectures were favored,
although one student asked, "Have we
had any seminars?" Another student
said that seminars and lectures were a
help "for students agressive enough to
take advantage of them."

"The idea of independent study

Students produced two prevalent

We need to realize from the moment
we get here that this is not the

Students are niggers. When you get
that straight, our schools begin to make
sense. It's important, though, to
understand why they're niggers. If we
follow that question seriously enough, it
will lead us past the zone of the
academic, where dedicated teachers pass
their knowledge on to a new generation,
and into the nitty-gritty of human needs
and hang-ups. And from there, we can
go on to consider whether it might ever
be possible for students to come up
from slavery.

First, let's see what's happening now.
Let's look at the role students play in
what we like to call education.

At Cal State L.A., where I teach, the
students have separate and unequal
dining facilities. If I take them to the
faculty dining room, my colleagues get
uncomfortable, as though there were a
bad smell. If I eat in the student
cafeteria, I become known as the
educational equivalent of a nigger lover.
In at least one building, there are even
rest room&which students may not use.

Student at Cal State are politically
disenf rAjchised. They are in an
academical Lowndes County. Most of
them can vote in national
elect 19ns- their average age is about
26--but thei' have no voice in the
decisions which affect their academic
lives. rThe students are, it is true,
alloW&l-'*^ have a toy government of
their own. It is a government run for the
most part by Uncle Toms and
concerned principally with trivia. The
faculty and administrators decide what
courses will be offered; the students get
to choose their own Homecoming
Queen. Occassionally, when student
leaders get uppity and rebellious,
they're either ignored, put off with
trivial concessions, or maneuvered
expertly out of position.

A student at Cal State is expected to
know his place. He calls a faculty
member "Sir," or "Doctor," or
ttProfessor"4and he smiles and shuffles
some as he stands outside the
professor's office waiting for permission
to enter. The faculty tells him what
courses to take (in my department,
English, even electives have to be
approved 'by a faculty member); they
tell him vjflhat's true and what isn't.
Some ^tgMBchers insist that they
encouraged issent but they're almost
always jiving and every student knows
it. Tell the man what he wants to hear
or he'll fail you right out of the course,
^^hen a teacher says, "jump,"
fints jump. I know of one professor
who refused to take up class time for
exams and required students to show up
for tests at 6:30 in the morning. And
they did. Another, at exam time,
provides answer cards to be filled
out -each one enclosed in a paper bag
with a hole cut in the top to see
through. He does it to prevent cheating.

Even more discouraging than this
Auschwitz approach to education is the
fact that the students take it. They
haven't gone through twelve years of
public schools for nothing. They've
learned one thing and perhaps only one
thing during those twelve years. They've
forgotten their algebra. They're
hopelessly vague about chemistry and
physics. They've grown to fear and
resent literature. They write like they've
been lobotomized. But, Lord, can they
follow orders! Freshmen come up to me
with an essay and ask if I want it folded
and whether their name should be in the
upper right hand corner. And I want to
cry and kiss them and carress their poor,
ortured heads.

By GERALD FARBER

Now of course there s the Vietnamese
war. It gets some opposition from a few
teachers. Some support it. But a vast
number of professors who know
perfectly well what's happening are
copping out again. And in the high
schools, you can forget it. Stillness
reigns.

I'm not sure why teachers are so
chicken. It could be that academic
training itself forces a split between
thought and action. It might also be
that the tenured security, of a teaching
job attracts timid persons and
furthermore, that teaching, like police
work, pulls in persons who are unsure of
themselves and need weapons and other
external trappings of authority.

I he grade is quite a weapon. At your
personal whim--any time you
choose -you can keep 35 students up for
nights and have the pleasure of seeing
them walk into the classroom
pasty-faced and red-eyed carrying a
sheaf of typewritten pages, with title
page, MLA footnotes, and margins set at
15 and 91.

What makes this particularly grim is
'that the student has less chance than the
Black man of getting out of his bag.
Because the student doesn't even know
he's in it. That, more or less, is what's
happening in higher education. And the
results are staggering. %

For one thing, little education takes
place in the schools. How could it? You
can't educate slaves; you can only train
them. Or, to use an even uglier word,
you can only program them.

Educational oppression is trickier to
fight than racial oppression. If you're a
Black rebel, they can't exile you; they
either have to intimidate you or kill
you. But in high school or college, they
can just bounce you out of the field.
And they do. Rebel students and
renegade faculty members get
smothered or shot down with
devastating accuracy. In high school, it's
usually the student who gets it; in
college, it's more often the teacher.
Others get tired of fighting and
voluntarily leave the system. This may
be a mistake, though. Dropping out of
college, for a rebel, is a little like going
North, for a Negro. You can't really get
away from it so you might as well stay
and raise hell.

Students, like Black people, have
immense power. They could
theoretically, insist on participating in
their own education. They could make
academic freedom bilateral. They could
teach their teachers to thrive on love
and admiration, rather than fear and
respect, and to lay down their weapons.
Students could discover community,
and they could learn to dance on the
IBM cards. They could raze one set of
walls after another and let life come
blowing into the classroom. They could
raze another set of walls and let
education come blowing out and flood
the streets. They could turn the
classroom into where it's at. And believe
it or not, they could study eagerly and
learn prodigiously for the best of all

tiossible reasons-their own reasons.
They could. Theoretically. They have
he power.

Lewis B. Mayhew, a professor of
higher education at Stanford University,
in his article "Faculty and Students as
Adversaries", is concerned with the
problem that higher education faces
today. Because of the wave of student
protests and violence since 1964,
institutions have received much
criticism from parents, donors,
politicians, and even recently-graduated
alumnae.

In the past, most student dissent
could have been attributed to
institutional vulnerability, lack of
safeguards of the students' procedural
rights, and administrative ineptitude.
However, according to Dr. Mayhew,
"the faculty is the real enemy of
students," and not the administration
and board of trustees who have borne so
much of the blame.

The faculty members are the ones
resistant to educational change and

educated who could not speak German,
know the restoration dramatists,
understand plant ecology or appreciate
the Civil War and the Reconstruction
period. This has resulted in
overburdened curricula and excessive
graduation requirements, no matter how
meaningless."

This is an important factor on many
campuses. The matter of required
subjects has long been debated, and
little satisfaction has been found for the
students. Each professor naturally feels

intended to imply that the professor has
more important things to do than see
students."

But when the students' interests are
neglected and, at times, even repressed,
the students become frustrated,
alienated, and feel that no one cares for
them. So they search for some outlet
for their feelings, and attack food,
residence halls, and other manifestations
of college life. Social restrictions are
always a hotbed for debate.

From UGA to ASC- an Insight

I have heard this speech almost 750
tim es. Perhaps even you have taken
part:

"Linda, I want you to meet Claire
Daniel. She's a junior transfer into our
class/'

"Hi, Linda. I think I saw you at the
Sigma Theta party the other night."

"Oh, yes. I was there. Boy, was my
date bad. Well, how do you like Scott?"

"Oh, I love it." (Linda looks puzzled).

"Judy, you say she transferred. Claire,
where did you transfer from?"

Here I am tempted to say Wesleyan or
Randolph-Macon so She will leave me
atone. Instead, my honesty prevails and
I blurt, "The University of Georgia."

"Oh." After Linda recovers from the
initial shock, she says, "Why did you
transfer to Agnes Scott, of all places?"

Now I am really tempted. I would like
to tell her I flunked out but I know
that would not go over too well, so I
funble for some feeble excuse such as
liking Atlanta so much, wanting to date
Tech guys, or because I wanted to
attend a smaller school.

The purpose of this article is to give
you a glimpse of co-ed university life as
I saw it at the University of Georgia.
Most of the examples I will give to you
will be based on my own personal
experience and are not true for every
co-ed, but the majority of the examples
are unusual and are pretty typical of all
Georgia co-eds.

Social life is very different here at
Scott, and hard to get accustomed to at
first, I will admit. At Georgia it is not
unusual for a girl to go out every night
of the week, and I always was a
conformist at heart. When I think back,
it is not without remorse. I enjoyed
every minute of it.

Studying could usually be
completed in the afternoons and the
night before big tests. I went to class
regularly, but it was not really necessary
in some classes. Let me make it very
clear right now that I am not a genius.
To be frank, the academic subjects just
did not demand that much.

I have often been asked if I miss
seeing boys on campus, and I will admit
I do. Gotnt to Emory one afternoon
made me realize how much. I do not
miss them in class. The guys in the class
are the students who cut class
system ma ticalfy, borrow your notes if
they are realty industrious, have five old
copies of the next test (and sometimes
they have a copy of the test itself,
confiscated by the janitor in the
building, who is amply paid), and
usually make the same grade you do.

As I write this I still wonder, as you
may also, why I decided to leave the life
of leisure at Georgia -the two-night
study week, the "over-the-hump"
parties, the demanding sorority life, and
report cards full of bland B's. My
thoughts carelessly wander over the
"good ole days" for a while, and then I
snap back to reality. I know why I am
here.

I like a classroom where a professor
knows your name and not your I.D.
number. It is with frustration that I
recall the first days of many courses
when the class of 150-300 students take
their seats, listen to roll call for fifteen
to thirty minutes and then hear the
professor say, "My office is Room 313
in the science building. My office hours
are from three o'clock until five o'clock,
but do not come by unless you plan to
withdraw. I really do not have time for
you." Then he looks over the sea of
blank faces, and I wonder if he is trying
to pick out the ten per cent who will
inevitably fail to meet his curve.

by CLAIRE DANIEL

I like a school where even after you
have graduated two years ago, the maid
in Buttrick still remembers your name.

I like a school where students enjoy
learning and studying and are not
ashamed to admit they enjoy studying.

Of course, Agnes Scott can be
frustrating. I've found that to be true
during finals and during the days that
seemed to hold less than twenty-four
hours. But I cannot help thinking that
when I graduate, I will have a sence of
great accomplishment. I think I will
look back and say I got a bit more out
of college than a good time and a
husband. College IS a bit more, don't
you think?

The school system of Atlanta
has recently been pitched into an
uoroar over the latest Supreme
Court rulinq on integration.

The Supreme Court ordered
Atlanta schools to completely
integrate their faculties and
student bodies by Feb. 1.

Atlanta
schools
integrate

By LIZ GATES

and CAROLE KROC

School officials have appealed
for a month's extension to
comply with the desegregation
orders. This extension was
refused by the Circuit Court on
the grounds that February 1 was
set to correspond with the end of
a semester since 99% of school
systems are regulated by
semesters. Atlanta schools are,
however, on a quarter system
ending March 4.

The new plan for student
integration involves a "majority
to minority transfer rule." A
student of the majority race in
his school can transfer to a school
where his race is a minority. No
other transfer will be considered.

Reactions of Atlanta citizens
were drastic and desperate as
many tired to enroll their student
in private schools. A large

number of teachers reacted by
looking for new jobs. Governor
Lester G. Maddox was quoted as
urging "black and white teachers
(to) quit teaching until
constitutional freedom has been
restored...

District Judge Frank Hooper has
granted a delay of one month
(March 5) before the complete
desegregation of faculty.

Agnes Scott's student-teacher
program theoretically will not
be changed by the Supreme
Court's school-integration order,
stated Margaret Ammons of
Scott's department of education.

Although it was feared that the
reorganization of the school
systems would make it necessary
for them to exclude student
teaching this spring, the Atlanta
department has announced that it
will again accept and train
student teachers during the spring
quarter.

However, Miss Ammons
pointed out that most Scott girls
who have applied for student
teaching this spring are most
concerned with "getting a good
teacher to work with," not with
the teacher's race or color.

Most of the student-teaching
assignments will be based on the
number of openings in the
various fields.

This problem of a limited
number of student-teaching
positions, rather than the new
integration order, will continue
to have the most effect on Agnes
Scott's teacher-training program.

In the faculty meeting on
December 5, 1969, final action
was taken concerning the
invitation of two students to
serve on each of the following
standing faculty committees:
Alumnae Affairs, Board of
Managers of the Bookstore,
Library, and Independent Study.
Dean Gary's letter extending the
invitation states that this
membership includes "the
privilege to attend all sessions of
the committee and the right to
vote on committee action."

In addition, the Administrative
Committee, appointed by the
faculty to deal with matters
concerning, among other things,
social regulations, power of
student government, and severe
disciplinary problems, will have
the president of the Student
Government Association, Dusty
Kenyon, and the Chairman of
Judicial Council, Nancy Rhodes,
as advisory members.

by JUDY MILNER

In the words of Ann Worthy
Johnson, Director of Alumnae
Affairs, "The purpose of the
Alumnae Association is to further
the aims of Agnes Scott College,
intellectually, financially, and
spiritually. We are more of a
service organization than a
government organization. Our
main responsibility is to keep the
alumnae aware of what Agnes
Scott College is today."

The Alumnae Association
works in three main areas. The
first of these is administration.

There are 9,000 ASC alumnae
extant, and approximately
2,000 of these live in the
Atlanta area. Alumnae clubs exist
all over the country;

Mortar Board is the Alumnae
Association's liason with the
student body. Usually the
president of Mortar Board and
one other girl, chosen by the
class president, works with the
Alumnae Association in an effort
to k.^ the lines of
communication open.

The alumnae have sponsored a
Career Advisee Committee, with
alumnae as resource people in
aiding students decide upon
desirable careers, as well as the
Alumnae Sponsor Program. This
program has been replaced by a
brunch held at the end of the
freshman orientation for both
freshmen and alumane.

The second major area in which
the Alumnae Association works is
fund raising. Anne Diseker Beebe
(Mrs. Marshal) is the Fund
Coordinator. Agnes Scott has
three sources of financial income:
income from endowment, income
from tuition, and the annual
fund, consisting of contributions
from alumnae, parents, and
friends. The Alumnae Association
is now trying to raise the amount
of money donated. (Last year's
total was $98,000.)

The third major anea of
Alumnae acitvity is publication.
The main publication is the
"Alumnae Quarterly", of with
Barbara Murlin Pendleton (Mrs.
E. Banks) is the managing editor.
Miss Johnson described the
magazine as the "one continuing
link between the alumnae and the
college," and as a journal of
opinion, containing largely
articles of intellectual fare.

Miss Ann Worthy Johnson,
feels that on the whole,
"Alumnae are concerned about
student life and want the good
things which underlined their
experience here to underline the
student's experience now. They
are largely in favor of the recent
changes made in the policies, but
are more interested in academic
changes. They want the college to

change, not for the sake of
change itself, but for the sake of
the students."

Storrs, Conn. -(I .P.)-An
experimental effort to approach
the ideal of a community of
scholars, where teaching and
learning are an intimate
experience has been launched at
the University of Connecticut
this year by a group of
serious-minded faculty and
students.

Identified as the Inner College,
the program is a response by the
Council of Instruction to one of
several proposals directed toward
an improved learning experience.

These proposals stemmed from
a belief shared by a large number
of students and faculty that the
traditional curriculum structure
tends to be restrictive. The Inner
College will test the premise that
learning in the relativefreedom
of a minimally structured
program can match the quality of
education within the more formal
relationships and categories of
the conventional academic
experience.

First, there are 50 students
enrolled in the "College" with 2
full-time faculty members. For
seminars and special projects, 25
other faculty have indicated their
willingness to participate. During
the first year it will be possible
but not necessarily mandatory,
for each student member of the
Inner College to take 12 credits
of work in a relatively
unstructured program.

Thus, it would be possible for
an undergraduate to take two
independent studies courses
carrying as much as six hours
credit each per semester. It is
likely, however, that students
who opt for this formula will also
take a third course in the
conventional curriculum.

One major question that
remains to be answered is the
problem related to grades. An
important objective of the Inner
College experiment is to discover
legitimate ways of evaluating
educational experiences that do
not fit the traditional patterns.

A careful counseling of
students was considered essential
in developing the "College"
program. This is because credits
earned in the 299 independent
studies offerings do not now
serve to satisfy the "A" to "F"
requirements. Also, enrollment in
this experiment could extend the
time students need to complete
graduation requirements in
certain programs.

A faculty-advisory committee
was established to help
participants in the experiment to
formulate acceptable policies to
meet their goals ano to consult
with the council on instruction,
and the general scholastic
requirements committee about
the experiment in progress.

Among the principal
advantages of the Inner College
will be the opportunity for
students and teachers to study
and interact in a more informal
and flexible setting than the
customary classroom and
curriculum affords.

A wise saying two Agnes Scott
girls obviously pondered and
took to heart goes somewhat like
this: "Never let school interfere
with your education." These two
Scotties, Tricia Johnston and
Elizabeth Jones, have just
returned to the campus from a
European adventure. Concocted
during numerous sessions over
pizza at P by C, the two finally
brought their dream to fruition
this fall.

At the University of Lausanne
in Switzerland, Tricia and
Elizabeth managed to find four
hours a day in their busy and

fascinating schedule to attend a Both Elizabeth and Tricia were
French class. rather well matched in the line of

When asked whether this exciting experiences. Tricia was

schools definitely are not. To saying, "I saw Tony Curtis trying

nationality in the school and not however, agreed that the two
only is the student body rather experiences that they would
diversified, but in Tricia's words, cherish the most were the time
"a rowdy lot, the students are spent with the people at the
not like ours here." Although the chateau where they lived in

Bored with the Ring

They were pursued by Nine Black
Riders on giant pigs, attacked by
demented trolls and captured by
a roving band of narcs before
triumphantly reaching the end of
their Quest.

If this tale sounds vaguely
familiar, if somewhat twisted,
you probably have read Lord of
the Rings by J. R. R. Tolkien. If
it sounds quite familiar and
perfectly sane, then you have
read Bored of the Rings by the
Harvard Lampoon, a satire of
Tolkien's famous trilogy written
for the sole purpose of making
money.

It has left the theme of the
Eternal Quest basically
unchanged. Hobbits, however,
have become Boggies,
"unattractive but annoying
people whose numbers have
decreased rather precipitously
since the bottom fell out of the
fairy tale market "

Bored of the Rings has some
extremely funny moments both
as a parody on Lord of the Rings

by FRAN ELLINGTON

"...The Great Ring masters all
others. Its powers and charms are
shrouded in legend, and many
works are said to be given to its
wearer. It is said that, according
to his powers, the wearer can
perform impossible deeds,
control all creatures to his
bidding, vanquish invincible
armies, converse with fish and
fowl, bend steel in his bare hands,
leap tall parapets in a single
bound, win friends and influence
people, fix parking tickets.. .and
get himself elected Queen of
May."

This Ring was desired greatly
by Sorhed, Public Enemy
Number One of Lower Middle
Earth. In order to prevent its
falling into his evil clutches, the
Ring was to be thrown into the
Zazu Pitts of Fordor and
destroyed. This mission fell upon
the somewhat stooped shoulders
of Frito Bugger, because of his
superior qualifications for the
job: he -was such a complete and
utter dunce no one would ever
suspect him. He was aided and
abetted in his Quest by his
faithful servant Spam and his
friends Moxie and Pepsi
Dingleberry, extremely
obnoxious and very expendable.
Goodgulf, an old, unemployed
Wizard, provided the feeble
brains of the outfit.
- Later in the journey this group
was joined by several other
unsavorv ch^^t" 5 who were
devoted to the Triumph of fiood
Over Fvil and 3 cut of the take.

TfiCX decnccittd companions
suffered many hardships and
battles on thp way to Zazu Pitts.

Happy travellers, Tricia and Elizabeth, "rest" here while making
plans for their next jaunt.

Tricia somehow managed never
to run out of that all-important
substance-luck. While in Rome,
they stayed in a rather mediocre
pension, complete with an
embarrassing and gigantic nude
statue of Apollo between their
beds. Because of the extremely
rigid customs regulations
concerning the exportation of
money from England, the three
British delegates to NATO were
also obliged to stay in this
humble establishment. Never
even dreaming that they would
become such good friends of the
Englishmen, the girls were soon
asked by the gentlemen to take a
cup of "cafe pianissimo"
(meaning weak coffee -the British
were afraid their's would be too
strong).

On telling their new-found
friends of their unsuccessful solo
sight-seeing trip of Rome by
night, one of the delegates
surprised them by saying, "We
adopt you, we'll take you out."
From that moment on, things
certainly looked up, for what
could be more exciting than
roses, the Fountain of Trevi,
Rome and three enchanting,
"delightful and terribly clever"
Englishmen?!

Whether making chocolate
mousse or dining with Donald
Sutherland on the ship coming
over, Elizabeth summed up this
taste of Europe by saying, "It
just makes me hungry for more!"
Impressed with the general
atmosphere of the continent she
said, "Everyone accepts you for
what you are and what you want
to be.. .you have to work for what
you are and can't be apathetic."
With a smile Tricia added, "And
the European men really know
the meaning of the bisexual
system. ..they make you feel so
goddess,

and as a story in its own right. It

manages to make jabs not only at emim ' ne and J ike a
the world of dragons, elves, and they're deadly!"
castles, but also at the myths and
fables of today. On the whole,
however, Bored of the Rings is
only moderately diverting and
should not be substituted for the
real thing.

Can't no one say, with any
degree of authority, that Rep
Council has been sitting around
twiddling its thumbs for the last
two weeks. Topics discussed
ranged from the reorganization of
Judicial and House Councils to
the evaluation of questionnaires
sent to former ASC students who
transferred to other colleges and
universities, with a little
Convocation Committee, SCRAP,
and CAP thrown in for variety.

Discussions ont he
reorganization of the two
Councils have been long and
involved, to say the least. The
proposition has, however, gotten
past the "talking stage" it is now
on paper in the form of an RC
(87). This resolution, if passed,
will completely disband Judicial
and House Councils as they now
stand. Instead, the jobs they
perform presently will be taken
over by three new boards:
Dormitory
I nterdormitory
Honor Court.

The executive and judicial
authority with respect to the
individual residential units and to
the campus dormitory life, in
general, will be vested in
Dormitory Council and in
I nterdorm i tory Council,
respectively. Honor Court will be
the highest judicial authority of
SGA and will deal with cases
involving lying, cheating, stealing,
jeopardizing the safety of other
students, and bringing reproach
upon the college.

Also, Rep has heard a report
from Convocation Committee,
which says that the present
"sign-the-slip" system is working
fine. We are allowed 3 cuts a
quarter, and after 2 cuts you are
asked to speak with Dr. Alston.

Everyone knows that grades are
a problem-but CAP has brought
up an aspect of them that is

probably rarely pondered. Do
you want your grades addressed
to your parents or to yourself?
Or do you even want them to
sent home, knowing that, with
self scheduling exams, they may
never m ake it there

The 51 out of 84
questionnaires which have come
back from transfer students have
offered many constructive
criticisms. The suggestions are
varied: laxation of academic
pressure and social iregulations 5>
and re-evaluation of course
scheduling and freshman
counseling. There was even a
gripe against the picture request
on applications.

RE-exa mined

By PRISCILLA 0FFEN
and BARBARA TODD

Man has always searched for
meaning in life. In today's
unsettled world, this search seems
even more urgent. In the past
religion has proved the most
satisfying path towards
significance in life. Yet there is a
general trend today to abandon
the Church and the principles for
which it stands. Prayers, reading
the Bible, going to church on
Sunday, and blind faith in God
do not satisfy the search for
meaning in existence in today's
world.

The Christian Association,
however, suggests that religion
has not lost its ability to give
meaning, but rather that man has
misinterpreted its purpose.
During Religious Emphasis Week,
January 19-23, under the title of
Consious Existential Evolution,
an attempt was made to
investigate this problem.

Betsy Jennings, Chairman of
R.E. Week, expressed their goal
as an "exploration of Christian
values and symbols in light of
today's world." This effort was
made through a series of chapels
and informal discussions
featuring Dr. William A. Benfield,
senior minister of the First
Presbyterian Church in
Charleston, West Virginia.

Dr. Benfield admits that the
organized Church and the
Christian faith are under severe
attack. He feels that this is
because man has "disassociated
God with areas of life." Man has
limited God to Sundays and has

divorced Him from worldly
problems.

Such an interpretation of
religion makes it inapplicable to
life and therefore meaningless to
man. Religion is therefore
considered as being passive rather
than active. Because religion
seems inadequate in relation to
today's problems, man tends to
use it only for praying, singing
hymns, and reading the Bible.

Dr. Benfield however sees the
organized Chruch not as an end
in itself but rather as a channel
for constructive action in the
world. "Man's identification with
God is to encompass the whole of
his living." When man is faced
with finding the solution to
poverty, the solution to crime,
the solution to limiting nuclear
warfare, or simply the solution to
the problems of everyday living,
he must involve God.

Man alone can not develop into
the whole man. His own nature is
not enough. This is why Dr.

Benfield emphasizes the
importance of involving God and
religion in all aspects of human
life, and not merely limiting Him
to the organized Church. When
man has achieved this, then
religion will again give meaning to

life.

PUBLIC STENOGRAPHER
Term Papers a Specialty
Anne Garms

by FRAN FULTON

Thinking of studying abroad?
Ginger Reeves, Ann
Abercrombie, Anne Marquess,
and Jane Robinson ventured
abroad last year and have
returned to give us their
impressions of education,
European style.

The academic life of students
abroad is much different from
that in America. Our veteran
Scotties seemed to agree that
European students enter college
at a much more advanced level
than ours. Europeans are
considered adults when they
reach college, an attitude
affecting every phase of academic
life.

Once at St. Andrews, Jane
must have missed Scott's
thorough orientation. "I went
around for weeks in a daze" and
received for advice only a
cheerful "don't worry."

Guidance at St. Andrews does
not seem to have been too scarce,
however, for Jane soon found
herself under the supervision of a
tutor (the head of her
department, no less.) Meeting
with their tutors once a week,
students supplemented lecture
notes and reading material with
research on aspects of the course
which interested them. This
method was used for survey
courses, as well as for those on a
more advanced level. The result?
"I found it tremendously
stimulating, much, much more so
than freshman and sophomore
year here."

Students in Scotland, as in the
rest of Europe, are not pampered
with specific assignments, but
instead, are given a book list from
which to prepare for the course.
Their grades are determined, not
by a series of tests, but by a final
exam. According to Ann,
"There's not so much pressure to
get things done until the end;
then it gets hectic!"

Ginger described the German
academic system as being very
similar to that of Scotland. There
seems to be less chance to take a
wide variety of courses, however;

students "come to college to
specialize."

In addition, guidance does not
seem to be as readily available.
"In Germany a professor is like
an almightly god." Requirements
for a major are a well-guarded
secret, one usually discovered by
consulting an upperclassman.

It is the French who seem to be
most dissatisfied with their
universities, a sentiment which
they have been none too subtle in
expressing. According to Anne,
the French educational system - a
creation of Napoleon - is much in
need of an overhaul. "The odds
are stacked against the students.
They had every right to revolt."

Anne, had she been a French
student, certainly would not have
been pampered. Her class (all 700
of them) met only once every
two weeks - if it met at all. If she
wanted to study in the library,
she had to make sure that she was
there when it opened so she
could "stake out a seat." (Even
France has its squatters rights.)

France is beginning to
decentralize its university system,
but although looking to
American schools in its attempts
to reform, the French
educational system is basically
different from ours, for it is
geared to the motivated and
talented student who will fignt
for an education.

"They don't coddle you at a
French university. You either
make it or break it. You're on
your own."

PROPERTY

BY JANICE JOHNSTON

In an interview, P.J. Rogers, Business
Manager at Agnes Scott, discussed the
recent land acquistions made by Scott.
The property is being acquired in
accordance with the 1967 master plan
for growth and expansion of the college
which was worked out by Clyde
Robbins of Atlanta, the college's official
campus planner.

Mr. Robbins in his 1967 Basic
Planning Study states that: "within the
projected boundary of the campus, all
land not now owned by the college has
been placed in one of four priorities for
acquisition ...No time table has been
attached to the acquisition. "He goes on
to say that: "The acreage of the present
campus holdings is approximately 78.2
acres. Stage one contains 20.6 acres,
stage two-23.48 acres, stage 3 -15.84
acres and stage 4-12.68 acres. Totaling
net additions, plus land which would
revert to the college in the instance of
public street abandonment, the future
campus will contain approximately 170
acres."

IN THE PAST three years, the school
has acquired approximately 14 acres.
The value of one acre of strictly
underdeveloped urban land would be
approximately between $15,000 and
$20,000.

Mr. Rogers stated that in the past we
have had a budget surplus, but in the
last few years the school has barely been
in the black, and this year the school in
all probability would "hit the red." One
of the causes of the money shortage is
the fact that the money has to be
budgeted in May.

"OPERATING AS WE DO, we try to
give a normal cost of living increase in
each aspect of the budget", Mr. Rogers
commented. He added that it was hard
to anticipate that this year the normal
cost of living would go up 30%. "The
tuition has not reflected this", Mr.
Rogers concluded.

Some students at Scott find it hard to
understand why badly needed buildings
are not re-built immediately on the land
available rather than spending money

buying additional land. Their reasoning
is that the future does not look too
bright for a small, private,
"Presbyterian" girls school. They look
for a decrease in enrollment rather than
increase in the future.

Rogers pointed out the fact that new
buildings are dependant oh donations.
He added that the school has a plan and
a site for a new gym, but money has not
yet been given to the college to build a
gym.

IN REPLY to the question of whether
the college could get federal funds to
help build, Mr. Rogers said that
government funds were available to
private colleges only on a loan basis.

The college has recently had to face
some problems concerning its future.
On January 30, 1970, the officials of
Columbia Seminary, Agnes Scott, the
Methodist Children's Home and others
met with representatives from the State
Highway Department which was
proposing to route south of the Georgia
Railroad for a connector to the Stone
Mountain Highway. This proposed
routing of the Stone Mountain Freeway
would have cut our existing and
proposed campus in half and thus made
it impossible for the college to stay
here.

FORTUNATELY, Lewis E. Parker,
State Highway Urban Engineer wrote
that "because of the adverse effects that
Alternate No. 3 of Corridor "C" will
have on Agnes Scott College, Columbia
Theological Seminary, and the
Methodist Children's Home, I
recommend that this alternate be
dropped from further consideration."

The college had approved of having
the North and South connector highway
155 routed from South Candler Street,
north westward to Adam St., and an
underpass at Adam St. and College
Avenue connected with Oliver St. on
the North side of the railroad.
Thiswould give the school a potential
barrior and de-emphasize traffic on
Chandler Street.

BY GINGER ROLLINS

Airing its work to a somewhat less
than capacity crowd, SCRAP, or
Student Commission on Rules and
Policies, held an open meeting,
Wednesday night, January 28, at 7:00
PM.

According to co-chairman Bonnie
Brown, the purpose of SCRAP is "to
discover a social system that
compliments the Academic system and
contributes to the individual student's
personal growth and maturity."

Marty Perkerson discussed the subject
of honor offenses those violations
having to do with cheating, stealing and
lying in official matters. Also discussed
under this topic was the possibility of
open dorms. However, Marty indicated
that "each dorm would have to work
out its own problem."

Concerning SCRAP's opinion of this
problem, Carolyn Cox stated: "We want
to make a study of rules that everyone
believed concerned honor-.-these things
would be handled by the honor court.
They would be the kinds of things that
everyone could feel are
necessary -hopefully not petty rules
that one could have an honest
disagreement over. They would be
things that people felt to be logically
necessary."

As a reason for the newly proposed
sign-out policy, Linda Story then
suggested that "students desire fewer
limits in their social life and want more
responsibility for their own safety."
Under the new policy, dorm closing
hours would be 12 PM for weekdays
and 2 AM for week-ends.. Sophomores,
juniors and seniors would be able to sign
out voluntarily unless they remain off
campus after 8:00 AM. Returning after
this hour would be considered an
over-night.

Next on the agenda was the SCRAP
policy regarding the use of alcoholic
beverages on the campus. The general
idea of this recommendation was voiced
by Margaret Taylor who said, "In
considering the drinking policy, SCRAP

Meeting
Review

has been most concerned about keeping
thd community life conductive to
academic excellence. A policy is now
being drafted which will restrict
drinking to areas off campus and, in
order to support that restriction, will
forbid the possession of alcoholic
beverages in college buildings. These
restrictions are to apply to guest as well
as students."

A list of the suggestions received from
the student body a large in the open
meeting included six ideas. They were
(1) To designate certain dorms which
will have parietals, so that students who
want them can sign up for these dorms
in the spring. (2) Concerning freshmen
curfews, some said they should last one
quarter, others two. (3) To rephrase the
reasons behind the drug and drinking
policies don't imply solely academic
reasons. (4) The possibility of
upperclassmen living off-campus. (5) A
place to drink on campus the Hub,
cabin, etc, (6) A standard penalty for
disturbing and noise-making instead of a
drinking policy as such.

Bonnie also asked to be quoted as
saying that "Miss Jones has in no way
been a restraint on SCRAP. She has
proven very valuable because she has
been at Ohio State and has ideas on
things that we just haven't experienced.
She has been especially valuable in work
with the sign-out procedure. She is
really sharp to work with." If one
sentence could be used to sun up
SCRAP'S needs at this point, a
comment by Dusty Kenyon would be
appropriate: "Please pounce upon any
SCRAP or Rep member if you've got
ideas to voice or come to a meeting
yourself!"

Dr. Alston receives a plaque in memory of Mildred Thomson, '10,
and her service to the American Association cn Mental Deficiency
from Dr. Boone of HEW. Miss Thomson was a pioneer in the area
of education for the retarded, organizing the first special education
classes in the Atlanta school system.

General froth...

The Robbins Development Plan for Agnes Scott is based
on the idea that the school will expand in numbers and
thus in physical needs. However, the purpose which
makes development of the physical plant possible has
slipped from our grasp. Carolyn Cox's report to CAP,
which emphasized the greater zest for learning that
transfers find at other schools, only confirms this lack of
insight at a time when many students are privately
admitting their unwillingness to recommend ASC to their
acquaintances.

Frustration is the key. We have agitated gently for rule
changes; we have griped vainly over courses and the result is
very little of what we want and a large dose of what's good
for us. The management has planned a safe future by
adding jots and changing tittles in already existing
structures, with no more than a deat ear to the ground for
"good ideas" from the hoi polloi.

Elitism runs rampant on this campus. It intrudes into
every discussion of a social values, of independent study
and of student representation on Rep. The best person for
the job always knows what is good for the students they
see we need protection from our weaknesses and create
policies; they see that vve vote emotionally, so they create
responsible safeguards against the intrusion of ignorance
into the power structure.

They do not however look far enough ahead to see that
the next step towards total control is creation of a common
enemy. But let's be honest. Paternalism pervades this
campus because we let it. The question is, will be continue
to do so. It is not too late to change.

In order to have a voice in policy-making groups, it is
obvious that something must be done about SGA.
Representation is so poorly defined that Rep Council and
the SGA president have no clout behind their
recommendations. No one group is able to speak with
authority on student concerns so that the divide and rule
theory works nicely to stifle real change.

Rep Council is faced with an urgent need to re-organize
its Constitution. In order to become the "voice of the
people" it will be necessary to subordinate all other boards
to it, to define its sphere of influence and increase that,
and, above all, to renew contact with the student body.
Representation by halls would easily fit into the pattern
proposed for Dorm Council. Indeed, it is foolish to
re-organize Judicial without a clear definition of the powers
and membership of Rep. Judicial cannot be the most
important body on this campus without loss of creativity,
being concerned with administration of law as it is.

Again, the student body must require positive goals of
Rep. Social change should not be its sole concern as it has
been increasingly in the last two years. Campus support
would certainly be behind an active study of the
curriculum, an increased emphasis of vocational guidance,
and studies of the possibilities of exchange, merger, and
co-education. What about the possibilities for students
living off campus?What about the problem of competitive
faculty salaries?These are all internal concerns that we
CAN know about. The whole world surrounds us, if these
are uninteresting. Pollution and ecology demand our
attention as students.

Parasites, you know, have few sensory organs. They are
specialized for intake. Maybe we should take a look at the
flukes before this school becomes one.

Monday, February 2, Nixon
sent Congress his Budget report
for the operation of the federal
government in the 1971 fiscal
year beginning 1 July. The 200.8
billion dollar proposal specifies
twenty areas to which money will
be allocated. The most
controversial areas involve Civil
Rights, Environment, Defense,
Foreign Aid, Welfare, and Postal
Service. Briefly, the President's
proposals in these areas are as
follows:

Civil Rights- No new legislation
is proposed. Instead emphasis is
on the enforcement of existing
desegregation laws and Supreme
Court decisions.

Environment- Nixon proposes a
five year program of grants to
treat waste, as well as legislation
to control air pollution. These
grants are to be matched with
funds from the states and
municipalities.

Defense-The new doctrine now
is to "get the allied nations to
carry the main burden of their
own defense." American soldiers
will be cut by three million in
number but the ABM system will
be extended.

Foreign Aid- This year a
significant cut in foreign aid
funds will result in a cut in funds
for the Peace Corps and the Food
for Peace program. Multilateral
lending institutions and
international organizations will
have increased federal assistance.

Welfare- Priority will be given
to family assistance programs in
which a minimum annual
payment will be given to low
income families beginning with
$500 per year for the first two
members and $300 per year for
each additional child. At an
annual income of $3,920 the
program will stop .

rostai System Nixon asked for
an increase of W on the present
cost of mailing a letter. This will
result in a more efficient mail
service which will produce a 674
million dollar surplus in the
overall government budget

To the Editor:

Having just removed an Armageddon poster from the inside of the
toilet-stall on fourth Main, I feel increased empathy with Jesus'
corurontation of the money-changers in the temple. If the Campus
Crusade wants to give Jesus Christ the treatment appropriate to a
marketable commodity, that is their affair. Crass as it is, one is
constantly exposed to examples of equally poor taste, ^courtesy of
Madison Avenue. However, haying turned to advertising tactics,
Campus Crusade might do well to observe the canons of common
sense. Overexposure is bad for any product. If the recent campaign
had been promoting "Ajax," I would never want to see another can
of it.

Ann Haefer

To the Editor:

This is to commend the editor and entire Profile staff on a job well
done. This week's paper was interesting, informative and attractive --
certainly the best I have seen since I've been at Agnes Scott.

Let's keep up the good work!

Janet Levy

To the Editor:

I would like to state an objection regarding the Drinking Policy and
the Drug Policy proposed for the Agnes Scott Student Body by the
Special Commission on Rules and Policies. It is my contention that
each of these policies, in fact any such policy, is both spurious and
unethical.

The policies are spurious in that each is redundant of state law. The
redundancy places a student in double jeopardy - liable to two trials
for the same offense. In the case that the administration should
choose not to place the student in double^ jeopardy by not making
facts known to the civil authorities then the administration is itself
circumventing the law, in fact breaking the law.

The college is acting "in loco parentis" and is subverting the
principle of equality before law in that by right of payment of
tuition, room, and board to Agnes Scott College one receives
immunity from civil prosecution for violations of the state alcohol
and drug laws so long as the college maintains an agreement with the
local law enforcement agents. If, as the college maintains, it is its
purpose to support the state laws would it not be more consistent for
the college to state very simply that it was its policy to turn over to
the civil authorities those students violating state law?

There has been a great deal of ferment in the recent past among
students and minority groups across the nation. The students have
been voicing the opinion that it is neither the right nor the obligation
of a college to hold the moral or legal position of the parent in
relation to himself. The minority groups have spent lives, reputations,
and fortunes demonstrating to the "great silent majority" that their
belief, that equality for all citizens before the law exists, is a farce.

I am appalled that responsible students anywhere, but particularly
here where intelligence and honor are so revered, would seek the
protection for themselves of an injustice that their fellow students
and citizens find morally abhorent. Should we have this protection
for $3000 and a certain SAT score when our fellow humans on 14th
Street are sentenced to prison or excessively fined for the same
infractions?

'Bob and Carol and
Ted and Alice

BY ALEXA MclNTOSH

"Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Lord
of Lords and Kings of Kings..."
rings in the background as scenes
of countryside flash across the
screen. Then the camera zooms in
on Bob and Carol (Robert Culp
and Natalie Wood) driving in the
country. As the music continues,
the camera flashes upon what
gives the outward impression of
being a nudist colony, but turns
out to be an encounter-therapy
type of sensitivity camp and the
destination of Bob, a movie
producer, and Carol, his wife.
Such are the opening scenes of
"Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice,"
one of the funniest movies I have
seen in a year or so.

Parts of the movie, especially
the beginning and ending, are
ambiguous. Parts are even farcical
as the movie attempts to answer
or at least explore the age-old
controversy over whether sex
without love is good or bab. An
example, of the farcical
exploration of the controversy is
this: Bob, the husband, returns
from San Francisco and finds
Carol, his wife, having an affair in
his bedroom. After having a
discussion with Carol in which he
learned that the man was not in
his pajamas and that the relation
was "physical but not love", Bob,
completely satisfied and at ease,
knocks on the bedroom door
(behind which is the man)
, enters, and says, "Hi, I'm Bob
Sanders." Then, as he offers the
man a drink, he explains why he
believes in free sex.

The themes of the movie as it
jokes its way through the New
Morality appear to be sex and
love, sex and feelings, sex and
honesty, and sex and sex, in that
order. Somehow the humor creeps
through, or should I say falls
through, and the audience roars
almost in spite of itself.

One of the funniest lines in the
movie is spoken by Alice (Dyan
Cannon) in one of the last scenes
as she expresses part of the New
Morality. When Alice, newly
converted to free sex, calmly
suggests to Bob and Carol and
Ted, "Let's have an orgy and
then go see Tony Bennett," the
audience finds it hard not to
laugh.

In regard to characters,
everybody knows Ted (played by
Elliott Gould, whodid who did a
brilliant job), a person so naive
that you cannot help but laugh at
his antics, and yet you seem to
feel like you want to reach out to
him and protect him. Natalie
Wood and Robert Culp
sometimes seem to overplay their
roles to the point of being almost
ridiculous. Howerver, the result is
humorous and probably
accomplishes their purpose.

To sum up, the movie is today.
It is the New Morality presented
with humor. Actually, it is humor
presented with the New Morality.
If you want to laugh and laugh
and laugh, go see it. I laughed
almost continuously through out
the movie, but I an still not sure
that I liked it!

Most of Tuesday's Rep Council
meeting was devoted to
discussions on RC 87, which
concerns the reorganization of
Judicial and House Councils. The
idea is that amendments will be
made where needed in the
particular sections of the
proposed Constitution and then
the amended reasolution will be
voted on as a whole.

Article VIII, Section I, A, 4. is
to be deleted, taking the Honor
Court Chairman of Rep Council
as an official voting member.
There was much debate over this
question. Everyone seemed to
agree that the Honor Court
Chairman needs to be in
communication with Rep
Council, and some felt that in
order to do so, she must be
retained as an official member of
the board. However, the majority
felt that this is not necessary and
seemed to drive for the
separation-of-powers goal. The
vote was 14 for the deletion, 9
against, and 1 abstention.

On the other hand, the
amendment was proposed and
defeated to remove the Student
Body President for Honor Court.
This seeming contradiction is
hard to explain. Perhaps
communication is not the
question here, as much as is
subject matter. Honor Court will
be dealing with many abstract
concepts which need to reflect
the opinions of the entire campus
community of which thft SGA
President is perhaps the best
source. Sixteen reps voted for
leaving her on the Honor Court,
six were against it, and four
abstained.

Bonnie Brown estimated that
about 130-150 people attended
the SCRAP open meeting last
Wednesday night. SCRAP intends
to evaluate the points which were
brought up at the meeting. The
commission is working toward a
deadline of February 24, so their
suggestions can be considered by
this administration.

The Russians are coming! We

at the addition of Russian to the
curriculum. The most logical
choice for an instructor would be
Vladimir Volkoff, professor of
French. The fact that he has
taught this language before and
more important, that he is of
Russian descent, will make the
course an excellent one.

Textbooks have not been
selected yet, but several are being
held in consideration. There has
been a great deal of interest in
this language in the past, and
many people will appreciate the
introductory course that will
start next year. An intermediate

Georgia education
lacks funds

Aid from Uncle Sam?

The Georgia Legislature is moving
into high gear now that there i : s only
one week left in the session. Bills are
rushing through committees, and the
House of Representatives is meeting for
8 and 9 hour sessions.

Much of the work this august body is
working on concerns various apsects of
education in Georgia, In regard to
education for kindergarten children all
the way to university level, the
legislature is trying to overcome the
dilemma of improving the quality of
education in Georgia while avoiding
raising taxes.

Governor Maddox has asked, in fact
ordered, the legislature to increase the
sales tax one penny on each
dollar-making it 4 per cent. Most
legislators don't even consider this
proposal seriously.

Positive steps for education are being
taken, although some of them are
minor. The teachers of Georgia can look
forward to at least $500 raise in pay.
Maddox proposed a $400 across the
board pay raise which sounds good but
was reviled by every educator in Georgia
because it made no provision for the
length of serv ice or the level of
education of any teacher receiving it.
The legislature then put the pay raisyon
the service-education level index used to
establish teacher salaries.

The proposal to establish state-wide
public kindergartens was blocked due to
the complete lack of funds to finance
such a new program. The general
consensus seemed to be that few people
wanted to spread the amount now
alloted for twelve grades or thirteen.

by NORMA SHAHEEN

One of Maddox's proposals was to
lower the student-teacher ratio in
Georgia's schools from one teacher to
28 students to one to 25. This measure
also suffered from lack of funds, but
enough was appropriated to establish
the lower ratio in the formative
grades-one, two, and three.

Another somewhat hopeful note
appeared Monday in the heated debate
over Education Appropriations.
Opponents of Dean Rusk's appointment
to the Chair of International Law tried
to delete $20,000 from the Board of
Regents to cripple their ability to pay
Rusk': salary. The House repudiated
such a move with a resounding vote of
103-13.

Still in committee is a bill that would
provide grants to Georgia students who
attend private colleges and universities
in the states. At present such grants are
available only to those students who
attend Georgia state institutions.

by FRAN ELLINGTON

This year , while the
tuition at most colleyes and universities
is increasing, the amount of feseral aid
to students is decreasing. "Newsweek"
reports that this federal aid amounts to
nearly % billion dollars and involves 1.5
million of the country's 6.5 million
students.

There are four major programs for
the distribution of this money. The
National Defense student-loan program
provides up to $100 per year for a
needy student with repayment extended
over ten years. In the Federal Budget
for 1970, funds for this program have-
been cut $44,000- from $442,000 to
$398,000.

The Work -study program creates
jobs for students with the federal
government paying 80% of the salary
and the college paying the other 20%.
Funds for this have been cut $108,000-
from $395,000 to $287,000.

Frosh pro Fed. aid

Patricia Johnston reads a part from
Anne Allen's translation of 'Antigone'
in the finale of Creative Arts Week.

WASH I NGTON --(CPS)--Large
majorities of the ation's 1.64
million freshmen who entered
colleges and universities last fall
favor increased federal
involvement, including the
initiation of crash programs, for a
number of America's most
pressing domestic problems,
according to the controversial
fourth annual American Council
on Education (ACE) freshman
survey.

This kind of urgency was
expressed by the students with
respect to pollution control (90
percent), crime prevention (88
percent), elimination of poverty
(78 percent), consumer
protection (72 percent), and
compensatory education for the
disadvantaged (70 percent).

A total of 260,016 entering
freshmen at 390 colleges and
universities participated in the
survey this fall during registration
or campus orientation periods
before classes started. Of this
number, 169,190 questionnaires
actually were used in computing
national norms.

Among questions that were
asked the year before, there were
marked increases in the
percentages of students agreeing
that "marijuana should be
legalized" (an increase from 37 to
53 percent), and that "most
college officials have been too lax
on student protest" (an increase
from 55 to 60 percent).

In answer to some new
questions, more than half of the
students agreed that divorce laws
should be liberalized (GO
percent), courts show too much

concern for the rights of
criminals (54 percent), and
capital punishment should be
abolished (54 percent).
Forty-two percent agreed that
"under some conditions,
abortions should be legalized."

The total freshman enrollment
by race shows Caucasians, 91
percent; Black students, six
percent; American Indians, 0.3
percent; Orientals, 1.7 percent;
and "others", 1.1 percent.

While the report shows an
increase in the numbers of both
Black and white students entering
college this fall, there was no
significant increase in the
proportion of Black students
compared to a year earlier.

Following are other highlights
from the report:

56.6 percent of the freshmen
are men, and 43.4 percent are
women, the same percentages as
last year.

Most of the students (55.6
percent) said they grew up in a
moderately sized town, or suburb
of a large city. Only 9.7 percent
grew up on a farm, *nH 13.3
percent in a large city.

The study has come under
criticism by the National Student
Association which has charged
that the answers by incoming
freshmen could be used against
them. NSA also questions the
accuracy of the survey since
students may be afraid to answer
honestly some questions such as
those concerning drug use and
campus disruption. ACE
maintains all answers are strictly
confidential and would not be
released even if they were
subpoenaed into court.

A third program is the Federally
Guaranteed Loan Program which
enables a student to borrow money
from a conventional lendign institution
with the federal government
guaranteeing the loan. Not only has this
program suffered a cutback, but a
further complication has resulted from
the fact that the federally guarnteed
interest rate has remained at 7% while
the interest rates on other loans is up to
814%. This, along with the scarcity of
money, has caused banks to be reluctant
to lend to students.

The onlu program not suffering fron a
cutback is the Educational Opportunity
nraj t Program which serves only the
very poorest students with an amount
up to $1 ,00 which must be matched by
the college. This program has only
recieved an increase of $9,500 and
serves the fewest students of the four
programs.

These programs have previously
been remarkably free of federal
pressure. The colleges were generally
allowed to determine who received the
aid and the amounts received. Some of
the new proposed legislation, however,
has begun to threaten this. "The New
York Times" reports that in a new bill
for 1970 which would give $2.4 billion
to the Departments of State, Justice and
Commerce, there is a procision for
immediate suspension of funds from
students participating in campus
disorders. It would only apply to the
relatively few who would receive aid
from this bill, which covers such things
as returning policemen to school for law
enforcement subjects.

In some ways this bill is similar to the
Higher Education Act of 1968 which
required colleges to terminate federal
funds to students convicted of crimes in
connection with campus disorders The
difference in the two lies in the role of
the university in their enforcement. In
the 1968 Act the university itself was
allowed to decide the student's role in
the disorder and as a result, decided if
he would be denied funds or not. In the
new bill the university no longer can
exercise this discrimination and must
report that they have in fact cut off
these funds.

Althuogh Nixon has said that hte
federal government does not wish to
become a "campus policeman",
provisions such as the above are propsed
in bills for the allocations of funds to
programs of student aid. According to
"U.S. News & World Report", this has
led some college officials to question
the attaching of political strings to
academic aid and to lament the role of
higher education as a "whipping boy".
This attachment of political strings to
funding along with the new budget
cutbacks has made the student's
problem of financing his education even
more acute.

"Glory be to God for dappled things -

For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;

For rose-moles all in stripple upon trout that swim,

Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches (wings;

Landscape plotted and pieced -- fold, fallow, and plough;

And all trades, their gear and tackle and trim.

All things counter, original, spare, strange;

Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how:)

With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;

He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change;

G.M. Hopkins

Quote of the Week

il may be th.Ct the p'_' r S"it of

happiness is a goal unworthy of a
great nation or a great man.
Certainly the men and nations we
admire the most have not been
the happiest ones. Admirable
men have sought nobility, or
beauty, or magnanimity, or
purity of heart-all treasures of
the spirit, and not conditions of
the external world. The pursuit
of happiness, as defined in
America, may be a pursuit
peculiarly congenial to the genius
of democracy in that it does, in
the end, mean the sovereignty of
desire. Desires are something we
all have, and if we take desire as
the norm, there is no way to
establish the superiority of any
one of them over any of the
others. But while this is an
orientation congenial to a mass
democracy, it is not one which
points the way toward
excellence.

It may even be that in
announcing our goal as happiness
we are selling ourselves short, and
denying something that runs very
deep in human life. The history
of so many human ideals,
institutions, customs, and beliefs
makes sense only on the
supposition that men do many of
the things they do in order to

Reorg. of House

worth-while, demanding,
difficult, challenging, even
painful. Willingness to sacrifice
happiness and pleasure for other
things seems at least as basic to
human life as does the pursuit of
happiness. And if that willingness
is the source of much that is
terrible and cruel in the human
record, it is also the source of
nearly everything that is beautiful
and noble.

LETTERS

To the Editor:

As our pleas for reform and renovation undergo scrutiny and
incite action, Agnes Scott is taking another step in keeping with the
times. This time we may even be catching up. The problem is that
keeping up with the times is not enough anymore. The world is
changing too constantly. Each freshman class enters from newer and
younger world. Things new to one class are old hat two classes later.
Each new group of students brings its own unique background - with
different moods, practices, and values.

With such a short generation span, colleges need to look farther
ahead than their present student bodies. There is no point in making
policies adequate for students who will not be living under them in
another year or two. Policies must be ones we can leave as framework
for students of the next decade.

Whatever changes we make and leave behind, through
constitutional amendments, SCRAP rennovations, and spring
elections, we need to remember the future students, who they are
and the world they will have known and grown up in. If Scott is to fit
the world of tomorrow, we must be part of the world of today, not
as it is, but as it is becoming. And whatever our stands are, they will
stand much longer than we will stay.

To the Editor:

The current fad on some TV Shows of making "kissin cousins" of
everyone who makes an appearance - is this part of a sensitivity
program designed to change codes, mores, morals?

Because of the germ factor such promiscuous intimacy is to be
condemned for health reasons alone. But if the host or hostess by
kissing all who show up, is nervously trying to impress their audience
with an image of being real friendly, then they are overdoing it. The
question persists as to just where the line is drawn.

An image of lady-like or gentlemanly conduct, is best served here
by a genuine smile and sincere hand-shake that conveys respect and a
cordial association that is proper.
Our Stars have a great opportunity to morally elevate those who

make their lives, not happy butL M , , . -nf- ^7 Ti V ,,,w, -"j " ,WJVJ vw "^

To the Editor:

I want to commend the Editors for their editorial, "General Froth"
in the February 6 issue of The Profile. It took courage to say such
things as

1 . "Carolyn Cox's report ... emphasized the greater zest for learning
that transfers find at other schools ..."

2. " ... many students are privately admitting their unwillingness
to recommend ASC to their acquaintances."

3. "Frustration is the key."

4. "Paternalism pervades this campus ..."

5. " ... the student body must require positive goals of Rep." such
as "active study of the curriculum, an increased emphasis on
vocational guidance, and studies of the possibilities of exchange,
merger, and coeducation," and studies of the "possibilities for
student living off campus, ... the problem of competitive faculty
salaries," and the problems of pollution and ecology.

As a faculty member, I feel that the level of excellence of ASC as
compared to other institutions is rapidly declining because WE
RESPOND TO CHANGE TOO SLOWLY. Below are listed a few areas
in which ASC is falling behind:

In computers - Most of the colleges and universities in the area use
computers to facilitate such matters as registration, grade reporting,
etc. BUT NOT ASC. In fact, when I presented a program which
would enable the school to register by computer in academic year
1969-70 (at a cost of approximately $50. per quarter) the plan was
turned down. It was felt THE CHANGE MIGHT HURT DEAN
SCANDRETT'S FEELINGS! (Dean Scandrett is now retired.)

In faculty dynamism - We faculty could be expected to take a more
forceful approach to some of the problems facing the college. Since
I've been at ASC I've seen some dynamic younger faculty members
leave because the environment is too stultifying.

In diversity of student body and faculty - Where is a Jewish faculty
member?Where is a black faculty member?Why don't we offer full
scholarships with a living allowance to black studentsiWhy don't we
study the possibility of co-education?

In building - Why hasn't a new steam plant been built<5tudies have
shown that the increased efficiency of a new plant would result in
savings that would eventually pay for a new plant. What is needed is
an imaginative approach to financing - borrowing money to save
money. Furthermore, a new plant would be less of a polluter of air
and water than our present plant. The slow progress toward building
a new steam plant is symptomatic of the inertia that has pervaded
parts of our development program.

In course offerings - Now ASC is thinking of offering Russian; the
better colleges and universities have been offering Russian for 10
years or more. We should be thinking about offering Chinese or Black
Studies...

I believe that ASC is changing, but too slowly compared to other
institutions. Students can and are increasing the rate of change by
forcing change by not returning or by working fast and hard to make
changes from within.

Bon Voyage

by CANDY COLANDO,

FRANCES MEANS and

PRISCILLA OFFEN

What will you be doing 112
days from now? That's all the
time you have to decide what
you're going to do for the next
1 12 days after that. We're talking
about the glorious days of
summer and the time in which
you have to plan them.

If Europe is a possibility, two
ways of travel are the plane and
the boat. While travel by plane is
faster and most often more
convenient, travel by boat is
more relaxina and less expensive.

A passport must be obtained at
least 30 days before departure
date, but it is recommended that
it be gotten well in advance. One
can be secured at a Passport
Agency or from the Clerk of a
Federal Court.

To re-enter the United States,
having traveled abroad, the
traveler is required to have an
International Certificate of
Smallpox Vaccination. A form
for this can be obtained from any
travel agency.

For her own convenience, the
traveler should above all try to
travel light. On airplanes in the
Economy and Tourist Class, 44
lbs. of luggage are allowed with
no charge. On ships the allowance
is considerably more than this.

It is often wise for the traveler
to insure her luggage for its full
value before going abroad.
Accident and sicness insurance
may also prove worthwhile.

If Europe is on your calendar
for this summer, there are two
historical events that are certainly
worth investigating. Once every
ten years in the Bavarian Village
of Oberammergau the villagers
perform a passion play
commemorating Christ's suffering
and death. The play for this
decade will be from May 18 to
September 30, 1970.

During the Black Plague of
1632 the townspeople promised
to perform a drama of Christ's
passion every ten years if God
would spare them further
tragedy. In 1634, with the end of
the plague, came the first
performance. Every decade since
then (with only three lapses!) the
play has been performed.

The whole town of 5,000
people works together to fill the
1,400 roles of the play. In the
1960 drama there were 86 sold
out performances stretching over
a six month period. Eight hours
long, the passion drama is so
exhausting to the players that it
is only given a few times a week

Although the villagers have
been offered large sums of money
for the filming rights of the
drama, so far the offers have been
rejected. The people of
Oberammergau maintain that the

Alliance play limps

by ANN ABERCROMBIE

This particular bit of "two
hours traffic" (We Bombed In
New Haven, Alliance Theater)
might more accurately be
described as a contemporary jam
at rush hour. Impatience to be
home and the snail's pace of the
action vie for the title of chief
irritant.

The scene is set on an army
post, the target for today. s
mission-Constantinople. The
characters are familir--the
authoritarian barrel-chested
major (Gerald Richards) and a
dishwater acquiescent captain
(Steven Meyer). The sarge (Roger
Robinson), however, is a college
graduate and so are the PFC's,
except for the idiots

the idea.

Playing on shifting levels of
identity, the author, Joseph
Heller, seems to be treading on
quicksand. Asides and self-taunts
from the actors as actors come so
fast on each other that audience
can barely remember that the
cast are supposedly soldiers in a
war also. Even the self-taunts
carry no resonance, and hollow
men face us who seem not to
have grasped the desolation of
their hollowness.

The lines imply that there are
flesh and blood creatures beneath
the jeering apathy, yet none of
the cast succeeds in creating a
truly vital identity for his
character-soldier or actor-except
perhaps the Major. Because the

religious tradition behind the
drama is too strong to let
commercialism interfere.

Another traditional European
event is the annual San Fermin
festival in Spain, popularly
known as the "running of the
bulls." Pamplona, less than 50
miles from the French border, is
the center of this festivity.

Swarming with visitors and
activities from July 6 to July 20,
the city hosts a wide range of
people. There is wild drinking,
bands, sleeping in cars and the
streets, and general gaity and
comradship-but the highlight of
the festival for many seems to be

the running of the bulls followed
by the bull fights.

At seven in the morning the
gates to a coral are opened and
bulls and oxen race down the
narrow 900 yard street of
Pamplona into the bull ring. The
men and boys ahead of the bulls,
sometimes falling, sometimes
getting injured, but always
experiencing the exhilerating
feeling of the flight.

Yet for any female thrill-seeker
planning to be a part of this
encounter, sorry-but the rules do
not permit women, men with
unusual costumes, and drunks to
participate in the event.

This is where we start but the characterization is so weak, the

cast soon makes it clear that they play limps on and fails to catch

are really actors and proceed to anybody's conscience. Without

remind the audience of this fact believable characters, you have

repeatedly-to the point of nothing convincing-neither your

absurdity. Absurdity, of course, tragedy, nor your comedy, nor

is the point, but slowness of y0U r tragi comedy, nor your

tempo and shallowness of tragical-corn ical-

characterization, together with theatre-absurdical, and a "two

certain difficulties inherent in the hours' traffic'

script all but destroy the force of interminable.

WOMN
plays on

The silent majority almost blew
it this time but luckily for all of
us they pulled through just in the
nick of time. Yes, classical music
has been saved for the '70 season
at least here in the Decatur area.

In response to a plea sounded
over the air for several weeks
citizens of this area bought
inexpensive subscriptions so that
all could enjoy the cultural
benefits offered by WOMN, the
local classical music station.

When asked about the results
of their subscription campaign,
one of the DJ's stated, "We
wanted to stay on the air so we
took to the subscription basis to
do so. Although we didn't quite
meet our goal, we did have
enough response to warrant a
continuation of our present
network operation."

Since its financial situation
seems stable enough at the

moment, WOMN plans to remain
on the air with its present
classical form. Combining the
resources of both advertising and
subscription will enable WOMN
to continue its broadcasting.
While they will sell advertising,
one announcer felt that they had
room to do so "without breaking
into the music too much."

By ho means, however, has
WOMN quit accepting
subscriptions. "We work just like
a magazine," commented one
announcer, "we have to keep
them coming in."

In an effort to aid this station
in its struggle to give the
community a solace from the
honks and blairs of other AM
stations, some subscription order
forms will make available to
those Agnes Scott students
wishing to help. An
announcement will be posted
soon telling where these blanks
can be obtained. A subscription
costs one dollar per month. And
if the reader is really inspired by
this noble cause, the number to
call is 377-2676--to make an
instant subscriber of yourself!

Blackfriars wants new blood

Once more Blackfriars need
you the womanpower of Agnes
Scott. On February 16 & 17 at
7:30, Blackfriars are holding
auditim s for "A Midsummer
Night's Dream" in the theater in
Dana. We want to do the play
very much and campus response
has been enthusiastic. However
this play requires a large,
extremely good cast. That is
obviously where you come in.

'Una Noche Espanola'

The Spanish department will
host "Una Noche Espanola" at 8
p.m., Feb. 19, in Rebekah
Recreation Room. This February
meeting of the Circulo
Hispanoamericano of Atlanta (a
group comprised of North
Americans and Latin Americans
who get together to speak
Spanish) has been held at ASC
for several years.

The program will be devoted to
everything typically and
definitely Spanish, featuring
Spanish dances performed by the
Agnes Scott Dance Group, slides
of historical places in Spain
shown by Doctor Olimpa
Sotolonga, and Spanish songs
sung by Susana Grey, a senior at
Georgia State who lives with a
Cuban family in Atlanta.

There will also be an exhibition
of art objects showing the crafts
of Spain, especially the "madera
policromada". The objects on
exhibit will be furnished by the

faculty and by "Madrid 1800",
an import store specializing in
objects only from Spain. There
will also be a "cena" of typically
Spanish dishes prepared by the
members of the Circulo. All those
interested in Spanish are invited.

Can NSA survive?

WASHINGTON -(CPS) -Remember
the National Student Association?
That's the one that used to work for the
CIA.

Everybody thought it was curtains
when Lyndon finally ordered the CIA
to cut it out, settle accounts, and let the
students pay their own bills. Even then
NSA President Gene Groves dropped his
jaw and confided that the revelation
would "make the work of NSA
difficult, if not impossible."

NSA has had a hard time. First
student governments at big campuses
like Michigan, Chicago, and Wisconsin
cleansed themselves of membership post
haste. Then with the rise of more
militant confrontation-style student
politics, the liberal government agencies
and the foundations decided to step
out.

Bankruptcy for a struggling student
organization means far more than it
does for private corporations which, like
Ramparts, can disappear and re-emerge
almost in the same day. For NSA it
would have meant certain extinction.

The maze of business ties are the less
obvious reasons for keeping NSA alive.
There are of course the old bills which
creditors would never collect should the
organization die. There are the political
hopes of people like Al Lowenstein and
the Robert Kennedy Fellowship
directors who look to NSA as the hope
for a Potent Acceptable Youth
Movement. And, now, most important,
there are a number of businessmen who
have long been NSA friends who stand
to grow wealthy if it can only pull
through the current trials.

On Feb. 1, those businessmen, the
originators of the NSA Life Insurance
Program, will register a new corporation
with the Securities Exchange
Commission with hopes that stock will
be available for trading in July. The new

corporation, called National Academic
Services Corp. (don't confuse NAS with
NSA) came to life as a private company
about a year ago, but it closed its first
deal late on the night of April 1, 1969,
with a $50,000 check to the National
Student Association. Had that check
not come then, the organization would
very likely have died the next day.

National Academic Services Corp. is
in effect the new answer to the way by
which NSA can maintain financial
solvency without becoming beholden to
its donor.

As its most general level NSA receives
a fixed minimum annual income-the
one thing it has always lacked -in return
for giving NAS nearly all its old service
contracts and providing NAS a
recognized student base to operate on.

The only major competitor is
National Student Marketing Service, a
firm which has been fantastically
successful in recent years. Says last
year's NSA President Bob Powell (who
is now an NAS board director) "Right
now the college market for goods and
services-about $40-60 million a year -is
enormous and larqelv untapped.
"If TWA wants to sell youth cards to
students or Time Magazine wants to sell
subscriptions, there are not too many
places for them to go. Many people have
been exploiting students. We hope to do
business a little bit differently. What
you need is a different image, a
different approach, a different
sensitivity. And that's something which
NAS can provide."

Bob Powell says the experiment with
NAS is "a new kind of idea in the fiefd
of student economic independence." He
envisions NAS providing management
and financial help as well as purchasing
opportunities in an effort to get
student-run cooperatives off the ground
and competing with well established
local companies.

Ever wonder what's involved inthe
technical aspect of teaching at Scott?
Well - here are the facts - and some of
the problems.

Once hired, a professor's chances of
staying depend upon his contribution to
the college as a teacher and as a creative above involves more than just salary,
scholar. After a seven year probation Dut includes fringe benefits such as
period - three of which may include medical insurance and a retirement plan.

Recently revised, the AAUP ratings
compare us to only four year
institutions which do not offer Ph.D
degrees. This, however, covers a lot of
territory, including both universities and

teaching experience at other schools - a
professor is eligible for tenure.

With tenure, the service of a professor
may be terminated only for very serious
reasons. This gives the professor the
security of knowing that he can keep his small, private insitutions.

job and the freedom of resigning
whenever he pleases, for any reason.

He may, however, take temporary
leave to pursue an interest in his field.
Who takes this leave (a sabbatical) is
determined by a faculty committee.

How long may a teacher stay here?
The Board of Trustees has set the age of
retirement at 65. In reality, however,
the tenure of a professor lapses at this
age and he may be given an annual
contract until he reaches 70. This is,
according to Ronald Wilde, President of
the Agnes Scott Chapter of AAUP, a
convenience for the college. If we have a
good person, then we can keep him."

Salary, although only part of what
attracts a professor to Scott, is a very
important factor. It varies with the
degree earned by the individual. Yet,
according to Gary, "There's quite a
variation within one rank - as much as a
couple thousand . ' '

'If you hear loud and clear that
>meone is good or someone
this will make a difference."

When asked how Scott compares to
similar institutions, Wilde commented
that "My supposition is that this
relation is realistic in terms of schools of
our size."

Viewing our about average ranking as
"a plus value," he stated that the
compensation given full professors is the
lowest in comparison to that given at
similar schools.

In hiring professors of a lower rank
and instructors, Scott must offer
competitive salaries. And, as we have
had no trouble in hiring such people,
"the salary must be within the spectrum
that they expect."

Most full professors, however, have
been promoted from another position in
the department. "We haven't had to go
out on the open market, so there is no
fair way to compare the salaries of full
professors."

According to Dr. Alston, President of
the College, the state supported schools

have a tremendous financial advantaqe,
someone .s good or someone .s poor, n advantage also affecting the

comparison. He explained that "a great
bulk of the university's income" comes
from the government. "While it isn't
easy to get money from a legislature,
the money's there. It's relatively easier
than getting it from a private sector or
tuition."

To retain its present ranking, the
AAUP specifies that a school's
compensation figures must rise 8%
within a year. Stating that "Inflation
has played havoc with private
1 institutions," Alston cannot predict an
automatic 8% rise for faculty salaries.

"We have gotten most of the people
we go for."

A number of factors determine these
variations in salary. Whether or not a
person is doing well in his field is
important, a success often judged in
terms of research and publications. And
success as a teacher certainly cannot be
ignored. Although this may be difficult
to judge, Gary commented that "if you
hear loud and clear that someone is
good or someone is poor, this will make
a difference. -

Scott ranks just below the average

in our category-"

In short, a teacher s salary varies with
his overall contribution to the college
community. But how do the salaries
here at Scott compare to those a cross
the nation? According to the ratings of
compensation published by the
American Association of University
Professors, Scott ranks just below the
average of schools in our category.

Specifically, for the 68-69 school
year, the compensation of an Associate
Professor At Agnes Scott, in the top
40%, seems to compare best on a
nationwide scale. Next are Assistant
Professors, in about the middle of their

Despite money problems, Agnes Scott
apparently has had no trouble in
drawing qualified professors. According
to Alston, "we have gotten most of the
people we go for."

In the 19 years that he has been at
Scott, there have been 19 increases in in
faculty salaries. "I am proud of efforts
made to improve the status of the
faculty," Alston stated. "It is the
number one consideration of my
administration.

A Little

Considering the problems that face the nation daily, it
seems purile to return to the nagging backaches of this
campus, but taking the view that Agnes Scott is all that we
are able to change at the moment, the PROFILE offers its
analysis of the campus "blah's." Agnes Scott is, like it or
not, a microcosm of the much-vaunted real world with the
same problems of communication, individualism, idealism,
oligarchy vs. individual, and social strain. Add to this
concern for the things of the mind and voila, you have
merely a SMART community faced with same old human
problems. And who dares pursue the meaning of "smart,
6f we are unable to or refuse to thrust a spoke in the
grindstone of mediocrity?

Why die we so dull?IMot because we study so much, by
any means, but because we give so little, and ask so much.
We ask our teachers to feed us knowledge intravenously, we
ask our school for its academic reputation, we ask our
religion for its ethics, we ask our friends for their
admiration, and yet we never return the favor-we do so
rarely create gifts of our own. Instead we bury our
"talents" in the ground and dig them up four years later
moth-eaten and rusted.

To what purpose is all this intake of knowledge, et
cetera?There's the rub. Few people are able to tell you.
Nittily-grfgily the majority ambles on. A very few may see
their college years as a real fulfillment of a personal goal, or
a step in that direction. But a far larger number are at
college because they always knew that they would come,
because family and friends expected it of them, and
because they had the ability to do the work. What about
the ability to do something with the work?

Surely, to some degree, lies within us all-if we only knew
what we wanted to do. Aimlessness, then, seems to be the
crux of the situation, and tKt is something that an academic
institution cannot afford practically, since it deals in grades
and diplomas and incoming freshmen, and theoretically,
since it deals in learning in an organized way. A school can
assess achievement its purpose only in terms of its
products.

It is imperative that we as students begin to take stock of
our situation if only for selfish reasons. Perhaps if we began
with freshmen orientation in ideas-rather than rush, it
would help break the high school syndrome of note-taking
and memory work. Lecture-seminar survey courses woulc
certainly be an improvement and, most of all, would force
us, at first, to give as much as we get from a course. A
quarter spent in that kind of experiment might change the
atmosphere or the entire school.

We might even be able to say "Yesterday," if asked when
was the last time a friend broke an appointment for brodge
because she was working on an interesting idea, or because
she was arrested twice during a peace demonstration, or
because she was organizing an environmental teach-in.

LETTERS

To the Editor

At this juncture in our history as the Agnes Scott
ollege student body, there is a particular responsibility we need
Doth to face and to take. I define "responsibility" as the ability to
respond in a constructive way, eventually, if not initially. Our group
of representatives will be voting for us on the actual set of new social
rules, as studies by SCRAP, which set of rules will then be sent to the
Administrative Committee for approval or whatever. This voting is
likely to take place within the next four weeks. We can be satisfied
with listening to our representatives simply explain what has been, is
and will be done for us in relation to the issues SCRAP has studied.
Or, we can face and take the "responsibility" of responding
constructively to these issues in terms of our own personal
convictions.

Our structure of representation on the basis ot hails can be put to
broader use in that it can be used "responsibly" by every member of
our student body. Every member of this student body should know
how her representative will vote, and why, requires that both the
epresented and the representative seek each other out. I suggest this
use of our structure of representation: 1) To the end that our
representatives have the opportunity of responding to us, rather than
nding us passively listening to them and to the SCRAP study, with
which they will confront us; 2) To the end that our representatives
may vote responsibly on the incoming set of social rules.

To the Editor Susan Pickard

In response to some contusion surrounding the proposed Policy
Regarding theUse of Illegal Drugs, the members of SCRAP would like
to clarify both our objectives and the background considerations
which led to the tentative formulation of the present policy

Contrary to the impression that we apparently left in the open
meeting of January 28, no understandings which exist between the
civil authorities and colleges in this area in any way influenced the
committee's decision to make a statement reaarding the use of illegal
drugs. As a matter of fact, it was not until first draft of the proposal
had already been written that such information came to our
attention.

As is stated in the first paragraph of the proposed policy, our major
considerations are". ..Agnes Scott's commitment to academic
excellence and the belief that the use of mind-altering drugs may lead
to impaired judgment and reduced achievement..." Our sole objective
in formulating what we believe to be a fair* flexible, and explicit
policy is that this problem never [become* of major concern on this
campus.

In regard to the proposed Policy Regarding the Use of Alcoholic
Beverages, a somewhat different rationale necessarily applies. Unlike
the use of illegal drugs, which is a felony under both federal laws and
the laws of the state of Georgia, the use of alcoholic beverages - even
by persons under the age of 2 1 -is not illegal. Georgia law stipulates
only that anyone who knowingly furnishes liqour to a minor is guilty
of an infraction. Our statement regarding the possession and use of
alcohol on this campus, therefore, bears no direct relationship
whatsoever to existing civil statutes. On the contrary, as is stated in
the first paragraph of the tentative policy, our concern is that of
"...creating and maintaining a community atmosphere conducive to
academic excellence."

SCRAP apologizes for any unintentional misunderstanding
concerning the principles upon which these two statements are based
We can only emphasize that legal considerations, while they were
naturally of some importance in our research and fact-finding efforts,
were of little influence on our still tentative policy decision

Members of

To the Editor.

Boo! Hiss! for Founder's Day Convocation, 1970. When a quaint,
supposedly inspiring custom is seized as an opportunity to forcefully
collect the student body for mass insult, the time has come for
reevaluation. I was served not only an image of myself as the socially
irresponsible product of 'liberal' (oh, nasty word!) parents, but also
an image of my future self as a housewife ruled by her husband's
world, influenced by and influencing afternoon soap operas, and
working as a volunteer to banish poronography. How ironic that,
indoctrinated as we are to being "well-behaved," we applauded!

Let us tell Mr. Elliott that Agnes Scott College is founded on
respect- for each other, as well as for quality education and religious
belief.

Sincerely,

Congress returned to work this
Monday after a week of
relaxation in honor of Lincoln's
birthday. Nixon, meanwhile, has
been touring several areas of the
country in an attempt to break
out of his shell and communicate
directly with his public in a tour
of the "heartland of America."
Such places as the sewer plant in
Hanover Park, Illinois, attracted
his attention though he did
decline to taste the water after it
had been through the purifying
process. This represents the first
of Nixon's efforts to diffuse
federal decision-making powers
to different locations in the
country.

The Democrats gave their
version of the State of The Union
as a somewhat feeble effort to
regain their control of the ebbing
limelight which they now have
lost almost entirely with Harris'
resignation as Chairman of the
National Democratic Party. With
little else to comment on, the
House did gripe about President
Nixon's plan to re-outfit the 150
member Presidential Police Force
in 95 dollar uniforms, which
some feel look like parade gear
rather than apparel for those of a
crime-fighting force. One very
significant issue involving a bill to
let railroads charge lower freight
rates for other common carriers,
as freight forwarders, is under
consideration by the House
Interstate and'Foreign Commerce
Subcommittee on Transportation
and Aeronautics.

The Senate passed a 10 billion
dollar bill for urban mass transit
which will now go to the House
for consideration. The most
relevant decision in the Senate,
however, was the Senate
Judiciary Subcommittee's
approval of the recommended
appointment of G. Harrold
Carswell as Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court. One wonders
how such a bland personality as
Carswell appears to be, could give
the Senate so much material over
which to deliberate.

Movie reveals the

illusions of reality

by JUDY MILNER

THEY SHOOT HORSES,
DON'T THEY? is a profound
commentary on human nature
Against the backdrop of
deprivation and despair, the basic
nature of man is revealed in its
essence, devoid of all the
trappings which "good living" or
"the easy life" often tend to
attribute to it.

Trie year is 1932. The world
has fallen into the clutches of the
Great Depression. Bread lines and
soup kitchens are everywhere.
The dance marathon has reached
the peak of its popularity.
"Yowsa! Yowsa! Yowsa! Come
to the marathon!" shout
puffy-faced, hangover-ed Masters
of Ceremonies all over the

country. Tnev come bv tne
thousands, flocking to the
illusory security of the marathon
world. Where else can someone
be assured of a roof over his
head, food to eat, and rest if he
needs itTThe spectators come for
entertainment - to ease their
worries by ogling people who are
even more miserable than they
are. The dancers come, partly out
of hope, but mostly out of
despair. They come for riches (or
for food). They come to seek a
shelter from the realities of the
outside world where the only
way to survive is to rob or steal
or join the navy.

"They shoot horses, don't
they? focuses primarily on the
characters of the contestants.
Gloria, played by Jane Fonda, is
an embittered young girl who
fled America's heartland when
she was forced to make love to a
Syrian who chewed tobacco, and
came to California to be warm
while she starved. The marathon
represents her one last attempt to
make* some kind of decent life for
herself.

Gloria's partner, Michael
Sarrazin, is a sensitive youth who
is searching for hope and truth in
a world of hopelessness and
human mockery. He is drawn to
the marathon as a moth is drawn
to light. When confronted with
life's bitter reality he is destroyed
by it.

Susannah York portrays a
would-be actress hoping to be
"discovered" at the gruelling
marathon. The stage upon which
she finds herself, however, is
within one of the outer rings of a

three ring circus. The role which
she must act out upon this stage
is scarcely more exalted than that
of a common show horse. There
is a sign reading "PLEASE
DON'T TOUCH THE
CONTESTANTS." It might as
well read: "Please Don't Touch
The Animals."

Bonnie Bedelia plays a poor
Depression waif who is four
months pregnant at the start of
the marathon. She seems just
about to give birth at the end of
the marathon, but the audience
never learns her fate or that of
her baby.

Other important characters are
Red Buttons who plays an old
sailor trying to fight the
Depression and his own age, and
Gig Young, the Master of
Ceremonies, who understands
both human nature and the most
profitable ways to exploit it.

The place is a shabby Santa
Monica ballroom. "A dingy hall is
littered with worn slippers,
cigarette stubs, newspapers and
soup cans; reeking with the odor
of stale coffee, tobacco smoke,
chewing gum and smelling salts."

Some of the hit tunes to which
the contestants dance, limp, and
stagger across the floor are:
"Easy Come, Easy Go," "I
Found My Million Dollar Baby In
The Five And Ten Cent Store,"
"The Best Things In Life Are
Free," "Brother Can You Spare
A Dime," and "You Ought To Be
In Pictures." The spirit and
subject matter of these songs
contrasted to the human drama
unfolding on the screen ironically
aid in underlining the basic theme
of the movie.

The theme centers around the
tragic position of the individual
dream submerged within a larger
mass structure controlled by a
few. The manipulators of society
control their victims by creating
for them illusions of reality
which eventually bring them to
their destruction. "They shoot
horses, don't they? makes each
of us deeply aware of the
illusions and changes taking place
in the world around us - whether
the world be that of the 30's or
that of the 70's, the illusions
remain the same. Only the
techniques of creating them
differ.

Three of Scott's senior political
science majors are s p e n ding
winter quarter sitting in the
Georgia House of Representatives
righ in the middle of the action.
As Bonnie Brown points out,
they are learning more there than
they would "sitting home reading
about it."

The three girls, Bonnie Brown,
Janet Levy, and Norma Shaheen
are among a group of 15
Legislative Interns in the House
of Representatives. In the group
are students from Scott, the
University of Georgia, and
Georgia State University,

As interns the girls work ail
day, five days a week at the State
Capitol. Each of them, working
under the Speaker of the House,
has been assigned to the chairman
of a standing committee for
researching. They are also
available for projects of
individual legislators.

Their tasks involve a wide range
of topics. For example, Norma is
on the Hygiene and Sanitation
Committee, which is handling
bills on abortion, voluntary
sterilization, and drug control.
She is also helping with private
research about the consumer
swindles.

Bonnie and Janet are both on
the Committees on Education
and University Ssystems. Janet is

also on the Committee on
Industry. They claim that the
work is interesting and
time-consuming. As Janet
explains, "They make the
weirdest requests in the world,
and we're expected to find the
answers.

Bonnie cited an example: She
had been asked to write a
resolution commending a high
school for its football season. The
request and assignment were
perhaps strange, but Bonnie not
only learned how to write bills by
doing it, but she also learned
about legislative channels.

Bonnie is also involved with a
bill that would authorize the
Georgia Board of Regents to
work out reciprocal out-of-state
tuition decreases with Georgia's
border states. Bonnie's job is to
find figures that will determine
whether such a bill would be
profitable to the state of Georgia.

Committee work is bolstered
by the rapport the 15 interns
have in their group. They meet
together each Friday and at
various other times to discuss the
"things we run into and what's
happening." Janet points out that
the interns work together well
and are quite candid with each
other.

The most exciting part of the
job is simply being down on the
Representatives political fights."
Her big disappointment was in
missing the exhibition Junior
Samples gave in the House last
week. He is one of the stars of
the TV show "Hee Haw."

Glee Club
plans tour

The sixty members of this
year's Glee Club have made some
big plans for this year. The
officers of the group have
organized a first for the club - a
spring tour.

Plans were simple and kept to
the bare necessities, Charlene
Kruizenga, tour chairman says.
The Glee Club is planning to
leave the college campus on
Thursday, April 9th, and wilf
return Friday evening. The tour
includes a concert at Davidson on
Thursday evening and other at
Wofford the following day.

Wofford's Men Glee Club
will come the A.S.C. campus
April 7th, and the two choruses
will combine for a joint-concert.
Our choral group will "wine and
dine" with the Davidson
fraternities and the Wofford
Men's Chorale group on their
tours.

However, a tour of this nature
is not a spur-of-the-moment
affair - The tentative

plans include extra days in
Williamsburg and Washington,
D.C., a short time at the coast,
and possibly a day in New York
City.

The Glee Club is also working
on fund-raising projects.

A look at
requirements

by JANICE JOHNSTON

Recently, the faculty at Emory
University voted on decreasing the total
quantity of basic requirements. One of
the resons for the decrease was the
belief that the entering students were
better prepared, "both in depth and
overall awareness." The uniform were
narrowed down from two-years or
ninety hours to one year or forty-five
hours. Several resons were given for the
change. First of all, the students would
be given greater freedom and flexibility.
It was also felt that departments would
be encouraged to present courses which
were more academically attractive to
the students, especially at the
introductory level. With the change,
new responsibility would be delegated
to the students and the faculty advisors.

The student-teacher poll, which
appeared in the Jan. 30 issue of the
Profile, showed wide spread
dissatisfaction among the students with
the basic requirements at Scott,
particularly concerning the Bible, Math
and Science.

In the poll the students suggested
combining Bible with Philosophy, World
Religions, or a type of Fine Arts course.
Meroney felt that the study of religion
was a broadening study but she did not
see the need to study the Christian Bible
as a requirement.

Merle Walker, chairman of the
Philosophy Department made the
following comments about substituting
Philosophy for the requirements in
Bible.

To permit the substitution of the basic
course in Philosophy for the
requirement in Bible would be in effect
to drop pible from the requirements. I
would not be in favor of such an action
for the following reason:

For a thorough liberal arts education,
it seems to me, some knowledge of the
Old and New Testaments is essential.
The mataphysical concepts, the beliefs
mythically presented the use of natural
imagery and of certain literary forms
have entered substantially and
formatively into both the conceptual
thinking and artistic development of the
Western World of which we are a part.
Some knowledge of these things is
necessary to a thorough understanding
of the majority of our culture. Once
such knowledge could be assumed as a
part of the general background of
educated students of college age. It can
no longer be taken for granted. Many
students come from homes one or
several generations removed from any
family involvement in or even interest in
Judiac or Christian thought and feeling.
They are virtually illiterate concerning
the Bible. Such ignorance results not

only in the inability to fathom much of
the imagery and iconography of Western
literature and Art, but often in radical
misunderstandings and beliefs of a more
serious sort:

In my opinion the objectives of the
present basic course in Philosophy
(Philosophy 201) could not substitute
for this study of the Bible, nor a study
of the Bible for the basic course in
Philosophy. A very small part of
Philosophy 201 deals with Christian
thoughtfwhich is covered by Philosophy
316, for those interested) and none of it
at present deals with Judaic thought as
such.

Nor do I believe that a course in Bible
could serve the same objectives as
Philosophy 201. The objective of
Philosophy 201 is two-fold:

a. To acquaint the student with some
of the permanent problems with which
Western Philosophers have dealt, as they
develop over the years, and with some
of the more profound answers provided
for these problems. In this sense the
course is properly historical and the
course belongs with History and
Classics, both of which are to a large
extent purely historical courses.

b. THROUGH this historical
treatment, to develop in the students a
CRITICAL ability to formulate
problems accurately, to analyze the
nature of these problems and, more
important, to criticize the validity and
plausibility of the suggested answers.
Here the emphasis is not historical, but
critical.

The 84 hours of basic requirements
take almost two of the four years the
student spents at Scott. Kathryn Glick,
chairman of the Committee on
academic problems, felt that some
changes would occur in the basic
requirements at Scott without a
reduction in the amount of required
hours. She added that one of the
characteristics of a Liberal Arts college
was to give the students a "smattering"
of knowledge in the five basic fields of
Language, Literature, Social Science,
Natural Science and Mathematics. Thus,
two years of basic requirements would
result in a "more broadly educated girl"
according to Glick. She stated that the
Bible requirement was there because of
the "kind of college we are" and added
that she thought that the requirement
was in the charter of the school. Miss
Glick concluded that she did not see the
need to do what Emory has done since
"we are considerably above them."

Geraldine Meroney, a member of
CAP, commented on the most recent
proposal under consideration by the
faculty which would affect the basic
requirements considerably. According
to Meroney, in January of 1969 CAP
recommended to the curriculum
committee of the faculty that upper
division courses be made available to
fulfill group requirements for
sophomores. The proposal would also
permit all specific and group
requirements for the degree, except
English 101 or 102, the foreign language
requirement, and the science and
mathematics requirements to be
completed at any time during the 4
years. If this proposal is passed by the
faculty then the sophomore year would
be much more flexible for the student.
The English, language, Math and science
requirements would be taken the
freshman year. Miss Meroney was
optimistic about the proposal being
passed this year and perhaps going into
effect next year.

Ithaca, N.Y.-(I.P.)-The Educational
Policy Committee of the College of Arts
and Sciences at Cornell University voted
last spring to allow "individualized
majors" for undergraduates in the
College

The individualized major will be a
program of study designed by the
student, and approved by a
nine-member committee, which will
cross departmental lines and sometimes
even College lines.

Complaints about the unsatisfactory
quality of the classroom experience,
particularly in introductory courses,
have long been met with an exhortation
to be patient until small seminars
become the rule in the junior and senior
years. The drawbacks to the large 100
and 200-level lecture courses are as
numerous as they are well-known:
Impersonality, didacticism, inflexibility,
isolation of students from faculty,
general inadequacy of sketchy "survey"
courses which lack depth in discussion
of subject matter.

Psychology 327, also listed as
Biological Sciences 327, is an
experiment which departs from the
traditional form of college courses in
two ways. First, its topic is a problem
(without an answer) rather than an
established area in biology or
psychology. Second, the course
constitutes an experiment in teaching
methods, at least for half of the 80
students who are taking the course for
credit. Students in the course have
opted to be classified as either "readers"
or "writers." The readers will pursue a
traditional syllabus, reading widely in
the literature on behavioral maturation,
the subject of the course. The writers, in
groups of from two to eight, will
prepare chapters of a textbook on this
subject.

According to Professor Eric
Lenneberg, teacher of the course and
inventor of the idea, classroom time is
meant to be the stage where students
and teachers gather, not to recite
predigested facts, but rather to
"demonstrate and practice the fine art
of thinking." An attempt is being made
to unite instructor and student in a
work community in which the teacher
functions as guide and master, the
student as apprentice and h*?lpor

Student
e valuations

St. Louis, Mo. (LP. (Student
evaluations will be added to the criteria
used by the St. Louis University
committee on academic rank and tenure
in making decisions on faculty
promotions and granting of tenure. The
committee's action was announced
recently by the Rev. John W. Padberg,
S. J., chairman of the committee, in a
letter to all full-time ranked faculty
members. Father Padbert said the
committee on academic rank and tenure
sees the decision as "an opportunity of
enlisting more members of the
University community in a significant
contribution to the University's
advancement in excellence." He said the
committee also viewed it, in part, as a
response to the concern voiced at the
President's Faculty Conference in
September that "the quality of teaching
and its improvement should be a matter
of continuing concern."

The student evaluations will be taken
into consideration along with the
evaluations of two of the faculty
member's colleagues, his dean and his
department which makes the decision
on promotions and tenure. At least four
student evaluations will be requested for
each faculty member being considered
for promotion. Three of the students
will be chosen by the chairman of the
faculty member's department and one
will be chosen by the faculty member
himself.

The evaluation form to be used by the
students will differ from those used by
the colleagues, chairman and dean in
that it will ask specifically for the
student's comments on the faculty
member's teaching. The forms carry
information on the activities in research,
publication, consultation and
advisement which are expected of every
faculty member. The committee
emphasized that as in the past, no one
would be advanced in rank or denied
promotion simply on an isolated
evaluation of any kind. The student
evaluations will be used beginning with
'the 1970-71 academic year.

Future of Rep

by PRISCILLA OFFEN

Recently, concern for the future of
Agnes Scott as an educational
institution has been expressed on this
campus. Is Scott becoming a mediocre
institute of higher learning, or have we
in fact already become so? Is the
academic .excellence which is so often
spoken of being sacrificed and
CQmpromised? Part of what the future
will bring will be determined by and will
depend on Rep Council.

In order to give the student a feeling
for what may develop there the
thoughts of two prominent Seniors,
Dusty Kenyon and Ann Mizell, and of
three Juniors, Cassandra Brown,
Carolyn Cox, and Betheda Fries, are
given below. Each was asked what she
would like to see Rep Council
accomplish next year.

Dusty Kenyon, the retiring Student
Government President, expressed the
belief that she really has to "move out"
spring quarter. As is proper, she does
not feel as though she can tell the next
officers what to do, but must give them
complete freedom. She did however
state that there are certain
considerations which Rep is beginning
to examine and interest itself in now,
and that this interest will probably
continue next year.

There is the possibility of a
reorganization of Rep Council. This
could entail some system of
representatives living in the individual
dorms. Rep Council is also increasingly
being concerned with non-faculty staff
benefits. It may be a challenge to Rep
to find means whereby the staff could

become more a part of the
college~"opening things to the entire
campus community."

Student aid for scholarships and
vocational guidance are further
considerations with which Rep will
probably concern itself in the future.
Next year should also bring results from
the Committee on Academic Problems
(CAP). CAP's work may result in such
changes as an exchange program with
other colleges or even in Scott becoming
coeducational, but such things are at
present only ideas or suggestions to be
taken under careful consideration.
Dusty did state that she would like to
see some "study type seminars or
symposiums on particularly drugs, sex,
and safety in a big city" sponsored by
Rep Council.

Ann Mizell, outgoing SGA
Vice-president, added that Rep will have
to concern itself with making the new
legislation of this year work. She added
the hope that new legislation resulting
from SCRAP "will free the Student
Government from looking inward."

All three of the Juniors interviewed,
Cassandra Brown, Carolyn Cox, and .
Betheda Fries, expressed a deep concern
for the academics of Scott. Cassandra
foresees an opportunity this spring for
some concentrated study into "every
aspect of academics." Legislation could
then begin next fall. She feels that no
longer is there on this campus the "love
of learning," and academics are too
often secondary to other considerations.
Good students and good faculty are not
being attracted to Scott and the quality
of the education is therefore decreasing.
This is primarily because of an almost

Repartee

Rep Council spent most of the
Tuesday meeting debating how to
handle the suggestions which will
soon be received from SCRAP.

The major question centered
around what say the student
body as a whole have in the final
prepararation of the
recommedations, and how they
should go about saying it. The
issue sounds simple: Should Rep
Council vote first and then pass it
down to the student body for
approval?Or should the student
body's vote preceed that of Rep
Council?

Louise Hardy moved that, first,
Rep Council give a vote of
confidence to SCRAP's
suggestions, and, then, the
student body be given a
referendum. This motion was
defeated: 19 against, 5 for, and 2
abstaining.

The defeat was mainly due to
the feeling that Rep Council
needs to consider the results of
the student body vote,
incorporating them into the final
form of the RC (or RCs, however
they are presented) before it is
sent to Adminstrative
Committee.

Passing her gavel over to Ann
Mizell, Dusty Kenyon moved that
Rep Council vote in an official
capacity prior to a student body
vote of confidence. The RC will
then be subject to
reconsideration by Rep Council.
In this way, the RC could be
reworked by Rep to the benefit
of a large sector of the student
body.

Dusty 's motion passed 19 for,
4 against, and 3 abstaining. The
results are posted on the SGA
bulletin board in the mailroom.

R emem ber- popular
nominations for student
government offices will be made
on February 24th.

stagnation and limiting effect in the
school and its curiculum. Rep's work
then next year should be a
"concentration completely on
academics."

Carolyn also expressed concern in this
area. "Students have to go back to the
business of being students again. ..It is
now difficult for a serious student to be
a serious student." Betheda stated that
she believed Rep Council should take
upon itself an evaluation of the
curiculum. She sees this as a problem of
how much the students should fare
allowed to decide what they are to take.
However, she feels further that there
exists a good enough "rapport" between
the students and faculty for a system to
be worked out. A further possible
academic change could be the
possibility of seminars for
underclassmen.

Besides the academic problem,
Cassandra expressed a desire to see Rep
Council reorganized. This could involve
some modification of the board
presidents' position on Rep Council and
perhaps even their complete removal.
She also feels that an executive council
is needed for Rep. Even the boards as
boards should be examined. The
amount of interest in each and its
effectiveness should be taken under
consideration. Cassandra would also like
to see "talent and interest" going off
campus and focusing itself in Atlanta in
urban projects and the like.

Carolyn feels also that with the
tremendous amount of work done by
Rep this year that it will "leave Rep free
to really become a means for expressing
student opinion on the issues of our
times.

Rep
each
the
the
the

Betheda, too, foresees a task such as
this for Rep Council. She would like to
see "Rep create within itself the
strength and confidence to make
statements" concerning the city, the
state and the nation. Student
government should be able to "discuss
issues which cannot ask for a
compromising opinion" but must have a
definite stand. She sees this as a means
for stimulating the students.

When asked if they believed
Council to be representative,
reiterated the fact that
representatives are elected by
student body and that
representatives are all more than willing
to discuss any issue with the students.
To be represented however students
must make their own opinions and their
interests known. As Carolyn says, "it is
sometimes disappointing that we (Rep
Council) don't get more feed-back than
we do from the students." Hey student,
do you care, do you really care???

Part of the future depends on Rep
Council. But legislation alone can't
make students desire academic
excellence, can't make the students
become interested in the affairs of this
school and the world around.

If Scott is to make it into the world
of tomorrow, it must come through the
conscious efforts of the student, the
faculty and the administration. If Scott
is to be in reality what we think it
should be in theory, an insititue of
higher learning perpetuating academic
excellence, changes must come and
these changes must be stimulated and
supported by everyone. There's hope
for the old girl yet but it depends on
YOU.

Sophmore Parents' Weekend

by GINNY SIMMONS and MONTIE SMITH

Dear Parents,

Gee, it was nice having you here this
weekend. I had forgotten how ,on 9 it
had been since Christmas. But I had
such a lovely time showing you around
and introducing you to all my friends
(And you were the neatest parents
here!) In fact I even enjoyed being a
sophomore, with you on campus!

Do you realize that for thirteen
straight years sophomores have
entertained their parents for an
early-February weekend? Ever since
1958.

According to Dr. McNair the weekend
has become a flexible tradition. Every
year there has been a luncheon and a
social function hosted by the Alston's.
But other activities have varied with
each sophomore class. The basketball
game, the Creative Arts Production, and
the Dolphin Club show have been
popular ideas, and my class liked them.
What next year's class does will be
interesting to see.

In the fun of the weekend, we didn't
consider how much work was involved
in all the things going on. Anyway
sophomore committees had been
planning since last October, writing
skits, planning menus, scheduling classes
and chapels. And Dana has been a
madhouse for weeks building props and
periacti, painting lines across the stage
floor, fixing the fouled-up automatic
curtain, making strange-looking
costumes.

That is not even counting the
fantastic Dolphin Club performance. I
happen to know that some of the
swimmers have been working on their
routines since LAST quarter. They all
spent hours choreographing and
practicing. Incidental work included
costume . design and fabrication,
flat-painting and the technical work of
lights and sound.

The honors of the weekend go, of
course, to the members of the faculty
who worked so long preparing especially
interesting lectures for their parental
audiences. Other teachers had put in a
lot of time in special advisory work
helping the sophomore class set up the
weekend.

So after all the work, 296 guests
came. The weather was good, the skit
went well. Not one of the periactoi fell
off-the stage into the lap of a visiting
father. Some parents not normally
appreciative of water ballet have
become interested fans. YOU, Dad,
were not the only father that was
impressed.

So thanks for coming. It couldn't
have been as rewarding for you, I'm
sure; but that steak was really good, and
I didn't even mind Mom asking me if I
was going to clean up the room some
time before exams. And in case I don't
get around to writing, please tell Mrs.
Mathes thanks for the Valentine Cake.
You can explain to her that I ate it all
by myself and that if I don't write her
it's because I m busy cleaning my room.
There are some times when I do devote
myself to more nobler pursuits - making
noise on phone coop is my specialty.

I really must run now. Winter Dance
Weekend is coming up, you know. And
it's test week too. But after last
weekend EVERYTHING is happy. So
come again anytime. Next time I won't
cry as you leave, and my room will be
more decently attired.

So give my love to all.

Much love,
Simone

Thank you, Dr. McNair, I
don't think you have to worry
about the success of SPWE. Two
hundred parents and 170+
sophomores think it's great.

It's really more fun if
your parents don't come -
everybody else's parents adopt
you...

Abortion-

by NORMAL SHAEEN

"One of the most desperate
creatures in the animal kingdom
is a pregnant woman who doesn't
want her pregnancy." This
observation came at a public
hearing where one of the most
venturesome bills the Georgia
House of Representatives almost
considered was being discussed.
House Bill 1180, however, which
would have made Georgia's
abortion laws the most liberal in
the United States, never got out
of committee.

The bill, sponsored by two
representatives from Fulton
County -Kil Townsend and Mrs.
Grace Hamilton-would make
abortion a matter between a
woman and her physician. During
the first 12 weeks of pregnancy a
legal abortion could be obtained
if the doctor was willing to
perform the operation.

The abortion bill was sent to
the House Committee on Hygiene
and Sanitation for study; and
soon after this action was taken,
things began to happen. Abortion
is a hot issue, and both sides seem
to -be under a compulsion to
express their views. Letters

Ga. Leg. rejects

deluged the Hygiene and
Sanitation Committee, its
chairman, and the individual
members.

In answer to the obvious
interest expressed by the general
public, the committee chairman
called a public hearing on the bill.
The real fun began at that public
assembly. One could almost get
cynical about the level of
intellect of the "great American
public" from watching this type
of proceeding.

Much of the hearing was
conducted on an intelligent level
as doctors and psychiatrists
discussed the merits and demerits
of the bill. Surprisingly enough,
the medical people split down the
middle in their opinions about
the "abortion bill."

Those who supported it cited

the large number of illegal

abortions, and the deaths and

t

mental anguish of the mothers
and the damaging effects of the
child itself. "Every child has the
right to be a wanted child,"
commented one doctor.

Most of the professional people
who opposed the bill did so on

Mazlish publishes

by LINDA LANEY

Mazlish recently wrote an article, "Ortega y Gassett: Circumstantial

Thinker" which is published in the book Fttogia y Critica Hispanica.

Mrs. Constance Shaw Mazlish,
associate professor of Spanish at
Agnes Scott, has recently had an
article published in Filogia y
Critica Hispanica, a book
honoring Professor F. Sanchez
Escribano. Mrs. Mazlish 's article
is in company with those of other
distinguished professors and
scholars such as John E. Keller,
Irving A. Leonard, and Juaquin
Casalduero, who will be at ASC
as visiting scholar on April 8. The
book is divided into five sections:
From the Middle Ages to the
Baroque, Cervantes, The
Baroque, Language, and From
the Enlightenment to the 20th
Century, the section in which
Mrs. Mazlish 's article, "Ortega y
Gasset: Circumstancial Thinker,"
is included.

Mrs. Mazlish 's interest in
Ortega y Gasset is longstanding.
She became interested in him as
an undergraduate at Smith and
then did her doctoral dissertation
on him at Columbia University
under the direction of Dr. Angel
del Rio. Later, Mrs. Mazlish had
the good fortune of meeting
Ortega several times in Spain. She
has had other articles published
on Ortega in newspapers such as
"Insula", a literary newspaper of
Madrid. Mrs. Mazlish now has a
manuscript on Ortega under
consideration at the University of
Kentucky.

the faults of the bill itself and not
because of opposition of
abortion. These men felt that HB
1180 needed to entail more
qualifications. Some feared that
Georgia would become the
"abortion mill" of the United
States if the bill passed "as is."

The discussion did not remain
on that high a level for long. It
soon degenerated into emotional
appeals by fanatical women.
Several women brought their
babies along-- and must have
purposely forgotten to feed them
just so they could cry healthily
throughout the hearing.

The high point to this
melodrama was presented by a
Mrs. Ben Dillard, Sr. who
declaimed, in all seriousness, "a
child's right to be born is far
greater than its right to be
wanted." Her solution to the
problem of abortion was
extremely simple: "If you don't
want a baby, abstain from sex."

The final chapter of this
episode was written about a week
later when the Hygiene and
Sanitation committee voted to
abort House Bill 1180 before it
ever even got out for debate on
the floor of the House.

Bahama
Bound

by JANICE JOHNSTON

If any of you Scotties have
nothing to do this Friday
afternoon at four o'clock, go to
the Atlanta Airport to see the
culmination of the Georgia Tech
Sigma Chi fraternity's "Bahama
Bound" project. The project was
the brainchild of Sigma Chi
president Woody Camp. He
figured out how much it would
cost for a Sigma Chi and his date
to spend a week-end in Nassau.
The cost of plane fare and motel
room for the week-end will be
$350.

The Sigma Chis decided to pay
for the trip and then put
everyone's name in a pot. The
name drawn will be the lucky
winner. In addition to paying the
$350, the fraternity will give
$100 spending money to the
winner and his date.

The drawing will be at four
o'clock Friday at the Atlanta
Airport. Every entering Sigma
Chi and his date must be at the
airport with suit-cases packed and
ready to go! The winner and his
date will leave on an Eastern
flight at 5:40 and will return
from Nassau at 9:30 on Sunday.

Several Scott girls are keeping
their fingers crossed. Jo Perry and
Christie Fulton are two hopeful
juniors. Bathing suits have been
brought from the depth of the
drawers and they are both packed
and ready to go.

by TRICIA EDWARDS

Because drugs are illegal, lack
of valid information, complicates
the drug question. Statistics on
the extent of use are unattainable
and medical knowledge is limited.
Misinformation circulated by
pushers and users compounds the
problem.

The Georgia legislature has
formed a committee for
determining the extent of drug
use in Georgia high schools and
for proposing methods for
elimination of drug traffic. The
committee has confirmed that a
drug abuse problem of major
importance is eminent in Georgia,
unless action is taken
immediately.

In the schools where much of
the drug traffic originates and
where drug education could most
effectively be presented, officials
held an overwhelmingly
laissez-faire position. Part of this
attitude is due to lack of
co-operation and ignorance of the
situation on the part of the
parents.

A perceptable generation gap
has arisen among high school
graduates. Ask an upperclassman
at Scott to what extent drugs
were used in her high school. The
answer is likely to be tMre were
no drugs. Ask a -freshman,
especially one from a large city
and the answer changes

Because a narcotic habit costs
from $30 to $40 a day to
support, narcotics are associated
with the criminal element and
with poverty areas. Pushers try to
cultivate addicts thus luring
people into prostitution and
thievery rings in order to support
habits.

Because doses must be closely
controlled as to amount, many
deaths result from overdoses.

PSYCHOTOMIMETICS, ex.
LSD. Small quantities of this
drug can have extreme effects on
the user including. hallucinations,
distortions or intensification ot
color and sound, and can cause
panic and effect personality
changes. One out of ten trips on
LSD are bad. The user becomes
destructive and has the tendency
to commit suicide. Bad trips
increase with use. 1-5% of the
time the user becomes
permanently disorganized. In
animals, acid alters the genes, but
this effect has not been proven in
the human.

AMPHETAMINE (uppers), ex.
methedrinz (speed), dexadrine.

Physical effects of this group of
drugs are euphoria, alertness,
talkativeness, sleeplessness, and
other symptoms related to
excitement and stimulation. They
create a change in thinking so
that the user feels a false sense of
confidence in his abilities which,
although he feels them to be
greater, are lessened.

All drugs can create a
dependence, physiological or
psychological or both, depending
on the particular drug.
Physiological dependence is best
exemplif ied by the hard narcotics
such as heroin and demerol.
These drugs produce cellular
change in the individual and the
body requires the drug in order
to function as it did before
introduction of the drug.
Psychological dependence is more
common and means that while
there is no physical need for the
drug, the psyche of the individual
requires its use for a sense of
security or comfort.

NARCOTICS, for example,
morphine, codeine, heroin,
opium, demerol, are a severe
depressant acting on the
respiratory center as well as the
spinal cord and cause a blunting
of the senses, euphoria, stupor,
and coma.

MARIJUANA. Marijuana is the
name given to the drug,
hydrocannibinol which is derived
from the cannabis sativa plant
and normally consumed by
inhaling the smoke of the burning
leaves of the plant. When the
following tops are reduced to a
resinous substance, it is called
hashish and is of greater potency.
This drug is a mild hallucinagenic.
Little clinically controlled
information is available. It is
believed that no physical
dependence is incurred from the
use of this drug.

Information and laws
concerning drugs are
contradictory. Legitimate
arguments against drug use are
disregarded, because the youth
feel they have been misinformed.
They realize that marijuana does
not do "horrible" things to them,
so they assume that LSD or
heroin will not. The same
discrepancy exists in laws. The
penalty for pushing or using
marijuana in Georgia is greater
than that for pushing or using
LSD. Lack of accurate
information complicates every
phase of the drug problem.

"I think the main source of the
academic problem lies in the
attitude created by the volume of
work at Scott---an attitude that
makes the individual try to get
something done in every
academic subject and not have
the time or effort left over to do
a better, more complete job.
Such an attitude causes a
monotonous similarity in each
quarter's work and makes even
the interested student feel that
she is simply doing "busy work"
instead of truly learning."

CHARLENE KRUIZENGA - 1971

apathy--l think this must be a

Welfare in the South
poor get poorer . .

by FRAN ELLINGTON

If President Nixon's proposed plan of
welfare reforms goes into effect, the
South would benefit more than any
other region, according to "South
Today."

While there are still questions and
problems to be worked out in the plan,
some of the effects of the proposals are
clear enough. The core of this new plan
is the "Family Assistance System"
which will use the number of
participant Southern families from
340,000 to 3,150,000.

The basic payment under this
program would be $133.34 monthly per
family as compared with payments as
low as $39.35 in Mississippi under the
only existing family welfare program,
Aid to Families served and the amounts
given will be greater, the individual
states will be required to pay less, as a
greater amount of the allocation for the
program will come from the federal
government.

The amount of federal money will be
about four times as great as previously
has been coming into the area, thereby
making the South's share of
congressional welfare money
proporationale with its share of the
nation's poverty.

While this new welfare plan promises
to lighten the load of the poor, the sales
tax in the South places a disprotionat
load on the poor and there are threats in
some states of increasing the load by
increasing the sales tax. The Governor
of Georgia has proposed such a plan.

This finding is a result of a study by
Dr. Eva Galambos for the Southern
Regional Council. The study is a result
of the feeling that state and local tax
structures in the South are outmoded
and fail to keep up with such rising
public needs as education, welfare, and
assistance to mental and penal
institutions.

The ability to pay is the standard for
most taxes. A tax is "progressive" if it
increases as the income increases. Sales
taxes, are, however, "regressive"
because their impact decreases as
income rises, and they hit the poor
harder than any other tax. Sales tax
represents a very large portion of the
revenue of the State. In the South it
may be as low as 46.8 per cent (in
Virginia) or as high as 77.9 per cent (in
Mississippi).

Sales tax is on the increase. In 1969
South Carolina raised its sales tax from

6a. faces Ecology

by NORMA SHAHEEN

While controversial topics such as
abortion, drugs, integration and
obscenity were making headlines at the
Georgia state legislature, much else was
going on. In fact, Georgia was actually
in tune with one of the major areas of
national concern as it passed
far-reaching legislation on and studied
the question of environmental
problems.

Ten bills were introduced in the
House and Senate on the subject of
pollution alone. One such bill is crucial
in its effect on maintaining the
ecological balance of the Georgia coast.
Known as the "Marshlands bill" this
legislation passed both the House and
Senate and awaits action by Governor
Maddox.

In discussing his bill, Representative
Reid Harris of Brunswick noted the
complete reversal of public and political
opinion in the past two years on the
environmental question. When he first
introduced the "Save our Marshlands"
bill in 1968, no one would touch it.
Public and industrial leaders reviled the
intent of the bill and political leaders
felt it was too controversial to handle.
Harris credits the efforts of the mass
media and the acknowledgement of the
problem by President Nixon as the main
factors in this trend.

The South
Sets the Pace

The South leads the nation in murders
and non-negligent homicides. Texas,
although one of the national leaders, has
its peers within the region.

Federal Bureau of Investigation
statistics for murders and non-negligent
homicides in 1968 show a national
figure of 6.8 per 100,000 population
and an 1 1 -state Southern figure of 10.6.
(The figure for the Northeast, by
comparison, is 4.8).

Southern states and their rates per
100,000:

Georgia, 13.9; South Carolina, 13.6;
Florida, 11.9; Alabama, 11.8; Texas,
10.6; Mississippi, 9.9; North Carolina,
9.7; Louisiana, 9.5; Tennessee, 8.7;
Virginia, 8.3; and Arkansas, 8.1 .

3 to 4 percent and Texas raised its sales
tax from 3 to 3.25 per cent. There have
also been proposals in North Carolina
and Georgia for raises in sales tax. "It is
ironic," Dr. Galambos observes, "that
the lowext income states make the
greatest use of those taxes which weigh
most heavily on the poor."

The Marshlands bill recognizes the
importance of the marsh areas on the
Georgia Coast. It describes the
marshland as "the habitat of many
species of marine life and wildlife" and
a "great buffer against flooding and
erosion." These marshlands are vital in
many other ways to maintaining the
ecological balance of the area.

Harris' legislation makes it necessary
for any person or group interested in
changing the nature of these marshlands
in any way to apply for a permit to do
so from the newly-created Coastal
Marshlands Protection Agency. Also,
ownership of the marsh area does not
entitle the owner to destroy it with
impunity. Such controls were repugnant
to industrial interests which have been
able to exploit the marshlands without
limitations up to now.

Although this bill was the most major
piece of legislation presented, other
areas of concern were acted on.
Pollution of air and water prompted
bills which make it illegal "to throw,
dump, drain or allow to pass into the
waters of this state any sawdust,
dyestuff, oil, chemicals or any other
deleterious substances" that would
harm the fish or amphibia of the waters.

Representative McKee Hargrett of
Jesup (who is running for governor of
Georgia as an American Independent)
asked for a committee to study the
feasibility of creating a State
D fitment of Environmental Control.
His resolution summarizes the pollution
problem by noting that "the once clear
and bubbling streams of rural Georgia
are no longer quite so clear;" and that
"the air we breathe is no longer pure
and fresh."

CAP
recaps

by SHERRY ROBERTS

In November, 1966, Rep
Council drew up a list of
"Educational Concerns" which it
presented to the faculty.
Students were concerned about
their own "lack of shcolarly
discipline," the scarcity of
"intellectural relationships"
between students and faculty, the
lack of interest by students in the
pr e-requisites and course
requirements to which they were
subject, and the problem of
academic pressure. As a result, a
joint faculty-student committee
was set-up to discuss the
educational experience at this
college.

The Joint Committee on
Academic Problems (CAP)
continues as an effort to
realistically and honestly examine
our academic life in a dialogue

As for the question of the
effectiveness of CAP some of the
proposals which have come from
this committee in its three years
of existence have dramatically

Amanda's beautiful. Everyone thinks so. And her house on
the north side is supposed to be the biggest in the state.

She's not married even though she's well past her thirtieth
birthday. She tries to pass herself off as twenty-seven, and she
can pretty much of the time, being so pretty and all. She's had
more of those slick, rich men after her than I've ever seen, but
I heard that Amanda would have none of their "vile" ways,
and that's why none of them came around again after the third
or fourth time.

And sometimes Amanda gives a tea for all those rich people
in her neighborhood. And from what I've heard, she has
everything going smooth as silk from beginning to end. People
say that all that fancy food, that would give my Ed a case of
heartburn, and that shiny silver, and all those servants, and her
fine manners are what you call "cultured."

But now everyone in town is worried about poor Amanda.
But anyway, Amanda's dying. Everybody's saying it's her fault
anyway, being so young and all. She's really too young to die
just from old age. But it turns out that Amanda's been sick for
a really long time, and she knew it too, only she just couldn't
find the time to take any care of herself. She thought her
dilly-dallying around town was more important, I guess. And
everyone said that all her rich doctors from New York were
telling her to move away and go live in a hospital for a long
time, but Amanda said she didn't want to make bad
impressions by having everyone think she was sick. So she kept
on using all of her time and energy making herself
good-looking for everyone, and giving all those high-society
parties. And every time her face started looking sick, she'd put
all that cream and stuff that high-society ladies use all over it
so you couldn't see it. Or if it got too bad, she'd go up to
those doctors of hers in New York, and get them to cut that
part of her face out, and put in some of that plastic stuff that
looks like skin, or something like that. I don't know all this
stuff exactly, because I've just been hearing it from friends.

But anyway, she's getting sicker and sicker, and she still
doesn't want people to know, even though it's gotten out all
over town. She's still worrying about what people are
thinking -I guess she'd rather die than have them think bad of
her, it seems that way anyway, and if she doesn't change her
ways, she'll be dead pretty soon.

But this man who knows her pretty well I guess, was telling
me all this, and he said a really funny thing that I can't
understand. He said that what's happened to Amanda happens
a lot, and not always only to people. For some silly reason, he
said that this has happened to buildings, I think he meant,
because I didn't understand the big word he used. He was
talking about it happening to schools, and things like that, and
he said he knew some people that had better start thinking. If
you figure out what in the Lord's name he meant by that, I
sure wish you'd let me in on it, 'cause I just have no idea.

Reprinted from the Sullins "Reflector"

I have it on good authority that
"accountability" will soon
replace "relevance" as th

in" word among educators. I
hope this is a reliable tip for twc
reasons. First, along with most
people, I am stuffed to the
eyeballs with relevance,
irrelevance, semi-relevance, and
pseudo-relevance of people,
programs, projects, and promises.
Second, and more important,
"accountability," I hope will be
more than an "in" word, a
current fashion in semantics. I see

Quote Of The Week'

it as an "in" CONCEPT that
comes to grips with a notion too
many schoolmen have too long
rejected -- the notion that school
and colleges should shoulder the
responsibility for the learning
successes or failures of their
pupils.

This concept of accountability
calls for a revamping of much of
our thinking about the roles of
educational personnel and
educational institutions at all
levels. It links student
performance with teacher

performance. It implies precise
educational goals. It forecasts the
measurement of achievement. It
means, in effect, that schools and
colleges will be judged by how
they perform, not by what they
promise. It means that we are
moving in a direction we have
been contemplating for a long
time -- shifting primary learning
responsibility from the student to
the school. It also means that a
lot of people re going to be
shaken up.

LETTERS

To the Editor:

I would like to express my
opinion on SCRAP's smoking
proposal. I realize that it is not
"in" to be opposed to any of the
suggested changes that will allow
us Scotties to be freer to do as we
please -but I think we need to be
careful that while we are giving
rights to some we are not
infringing on the rights of others.

Certainly, students who want
to smoke should be allowed to
smoke. But EQUALLY, students
who do not want to study, eat
and live with smoke all around
them should not be forced to do
so. I think it is inconsiderate as
well as undemocratic for those
who smoke (and apparently this
is the only portion of the student
body which SCRAP cares to
represent) to force the
unpleasantries of their habit on
others.

We have said that academics is
our major concern here at
Scott -but have we considered the
fact that this smoking policy is
going to interfere with some
students' studying? When all the
study areas become open to
smoking, where are the students
who cannot concentrate in a

room full of smoke going to
study? (And I believe the
Profile's poll of January 30
adequately expresses student
opinion of smoking in the
classroom.)

I agree that we should have
SOME dorms where smoking is
permitted anywhere and that we
should have SOME study areas,
and SOME TV rooms, and SOME
eating places for those who want
to smoke. However, I will NOT
agree to SCRAP's suggested
policy! (And voting in each dorm
in the fall will not solve the
problem because no matter what
the vote is, some will have to be
dissatisfied.)

Sincerely,
Evelyn Brown

To the Editor:

I make the following
clarification and distinction as
statements in the article "Future
of Rep" were presented in a
manner opposite to the intended.

I do believe that Rep Council
should concern itself with

academics. Such action, however,
should be directed as much to
identifying as to correcting since
the sources of weakness are
known completely by no one. I
do not impetuously and
irresponsibily subscribe to the
simple equation that "good
students and good faculty are not
being attracted to Scott and its
quality of education is therefore
declining and stagnant." In fact,
these statements are without
proof invalid and inappropriate
regarding the academic situation
at Agnes Scott.

Once identified the deficient
areas should be improved not by
student legislation but jointly by
students, faculty, and
administration.

Agnes Scott is, as it is rated a
quality liberal arts college with a
committed and more than
qualified faculty. The academic
program does, however, have
some weaknesses and to the
extent that these exist their
indentification and correction
should be the immediate joint
commitments of students, faculty
and administration.

"John

and
Mary

by FRAN FULTON

The "Southern dilemna" is a
perpetual problem - and a
complex one. Strongly influenced
by a past of pride and oppression,
the South must face, however
reluctantly, the challenges of a
progressive society.

It is this problem which James
McBride Dabbs confronts in his
new book, "Civil Rights in
Recent Southern Fiction."
Examining Southern attitudes in
terms of racial conflict, he states
that racial troubles are "the core
problem of Southern life."

Today, the negro is beginning
to be seen in a new light- by
himself and by others. Although
directly the result of the civil
rights movement, Dabbs sees this
new awareness as in part due to
the efforts of contemporary
writers.

In this Southern fiction the
negro has shed his old image and
is now "no longer simply the
laughing buffoon, or,
paternalistically , the loyal
retainer, but a human being
caught in the tragic web of life."

When the phrase "Southern
fiction" is mentioned, Faulkner
no doubt comes first to mind.
But there have been many others
who have played an instrumental
role in reconstructing the image
of the negro.

According to Dabbs, Lillian
Smith was the first of such
contemporary writers: her book
"Strange Fruit" was published in
1944.

"Strange Fruit" is "notable
because it puts the racial cards on
the table by admitting the deep
involvement of whites and blacks
in love and hatred and the rank
injustice the whites were

perpetrating, most clearly upon
the blacks, but also upon
themselves."

The theme of racial conflict
appears also in Ralph Ellison's
"Invisible Man." In this book
Dabbs finds expressed a possible
solution to the problem of race
relations.

Dabbs describes the common
destiny of the South as one
determined by two themes
influencing Southern
consiousness, two themes of
tragedy and loneliness.

The first is the more
"inclusive" and "objective" of
the two. Unique to the South, it
arises from the fact that "the
South is the one American region
that has suffered a great defeat,
has undergone a long period of
poverty, and has experienced a
general sense of guilt."

The theme of southern
loneliness is perhaps not quite so
apparent. This attitude is found
most frequently among the
whites, an attitude often
obscured by a surface sociability.
A "tension" exists between "our
private and our public lives.. ..We
make a great show of our
personal relationships, but these
are largely the froth of
socibility."

In his book Dabbs has raised
some interesting ideas. It cannot,
certainly, be disputed that the
South can save itself onlv
through self awareness; we musi
reassess our common heritage
the source of our attitudes.

"The past is a powerful source
of strength of those who have
accepted and conquered it; to
those who have not it is a heavy
burden."

your own personal philosophy, use up Easter eggs.

"John and Mary" could
probably make it as a laundry
commercial, but don't try and
kid yourself; it's be a very bad
laundry commercial that even the
names of Dustin Hoffman and
Mia Farrow couldn't salvage.

For in spite of the 'star'
qualities of Hoffman and Miss
Farrow, "John and Mary" is
boring, petty, and less dramatic
than a commercial promising to
get your shirt collars clean. But
then what a story to give the
'now' generation: John (Dustin
Hoffman) and Mary (Mia Farrow)
meet in a singles bar, spend the
night in bed at his West Side
apartment, wake up, eat
breakfast, go their separate ways,
come back together again for
lunch, go their separate ways
again, and finally come back
together again and bed down
again. And the clincher is, of
course, they don't know each
other's name until they bed down
at the end of the movie.

If that doesn't sound exciting,
don't worry, it's not. So Director
Peter Yates, who did the fantastic
chase scenes in "Bullitt", throws
in practically every cinematic
trick in the book. We get
flashbacks, f lashf orwards,
fade-ins, fade-outs, insights,
outsights, oversights, and the
neatest of all (golly gee), a
sideways haze-in that leaves Miss
Farrow in the middle of the
frame waiting for a flashback.
And thanks to all this visual
clutter we learn that John's
mother was a revolutionary, Mary
had an affair with a state senator,
John had a fashion model move
in with him, Mary lives above
three Japanese and a fake movie
director, and so on and so forth.

But all is not lost. While we get
to watch Hoffman and Miss
Farrow wander around his
apartment, we also get to listen
to what they're thinking, thanks
to some of the most boring
voice-overs yet conceived. Mary
thinks, "Is his wife away for the
weekend? while John wonders,
"Has she found the spare room?
et cetera, et cetera (yawn). If
Mary would just worry, "Are his
shirts cleaner than mine? the
credibility of the movie might be
saved.

with a force greater than
themselves."

The influence of the east is
greater than ever before. But
what about a western
home-grown variety ?Witchcraft,
for example, is undergoing a
revival and is attracting many.

Witchery for a good
intent-"white" magic - is no less a

religion than the practices of the
east. Although an ancient art, it
has become popular as people
reject the modern age of
rationality. It involves an
awareness of that which is
beyond us and yet is within us, a
life force which may directly be
experienced and used. Thus
voodoo dolls and candles became
not so much things mysterious in
themselves, but objects of
concentration through which this
life force may be apprehended.

Astrology, too, is experiencing
quite a revival and is becoming a
religion within itself. For
thousands of years, people have
associated celestial objects with
gods. It is not surprising that
today they do the same. For
many individuals, horoscopes are
guiding principles in their lives.
Palm reading, mind reading, and
other forms of fortune telling are
gaining popularity.

In realizing the sudden revival
of eastern religion, witchery, and
astrology, we naturally question
their validity. Are they real?Do
stars really influence the lives of
people?William Calder, Professor
of Physics and Astronomy, an
astronomer himself, holds "no
faith" in astrology. He says that
there is no scientific evidence
that the position of planets of
stars has anything at all to do
with determining the lives of
people. We may foretell a baby's
future by the position of Mars.
Yet many other babies will be
born at that same instant and
they will all be different, says
Maynard Mack, distinguished critic, Calder. They will not all have the
speaks with students after a lecture same life.

trom an age with a bit more faith
in the supernatural area, for
example, commonly used today.
(Next time someone sneezes, be
sure to bless them - otherwise
their soul might fly away).

There is, however, a much
more serious aspect to
superstition, an aspect relating
not only to Agnes Scott, but to
many, many people in our
modern society. For 20th
century man has turned to
various forms of "supersitition"
in his search to know himself and
identify with his world.

Eastern religions are on the rise
in the west. On this point, Kwai
Sing, Chang, Professor of Bible,
stated that man's interest in the
occult "denotes a search, a
recognition that there still is a
beyond."

It is man's nature to go beyond
himself; to identify with a social
unit, for example. Yet, he will
seek to find something more
comprehensive than his fellow
men. "Man must relate with
another. The wider the other, the
more basic the satisif action."

Adequate symbols expressing
the beyond are scarce in our
urban world. "Mythological and
symbolical expressions do have a
meaning and function, " says
Chang, and it is for many the
forms of eastern religion which
now act as symbols uniting them

Liberal arts

Mini-intervi

by DEBBIE DAHLHOUSE

In answer to the uneasy feeling
of some undecided students of
the liberal arts at Agnes Scott,
there is hope for the graduate
with no other business training
than that summer she spent as a
check out girl. Whether she
chooses a career of research,
human relations, or office work,
in the business world today there
are unprecedented opportunities
for the ambitious college
graduate.

"A girl's chances are as good as
she makes them," stated Renate
Thimester, assistant professor of
economics, as she emphasized the
girl's responsibility. "She must
determine where she best fits in
in the economic structure" and
what talents she has to offer the
world. She should consider a
liberal arts education a great
asset, not a handicap, in
preparing her for a career. By her
exposure to many different fields
and sources of information, she
has acquired the ability to see
and to solve a problem from
many different angles. "In
seeking a job," Miss Thimester
advised, "she should emphasize
her literacy and analytic
approach."

"The Agnes Scott girl a
cricature has a very low opinion
of herself and her value to
society, as only a teacher or

and the Open Market

social worker," Miss Thimester
lamented. "She works under the
notion that because she is not
specifically trained as more
narrowly educated people are,
she cannot get a job. In reality
she is much more valuable
because she is trainable and
therefore eligible for a number of
fields, not restricted as the
specifically trained girls."

With all these advantages of
being a highly educated, gifted
person anxious to excel in her
chosen profession, the female
college graduate does face a slight
problem of prejudice in the
business world. A holdover from
the Victorian age, not dissipated
even by the tremendous effort
put forth by war wives in the
forties, there is the feeling that
women are not capable of
handling the responsibilities of a
paying job. This anti-feminist
mood is attested to by the fact
that only 35% of the labor force
are women, according to
Thimester.

In some cases, there is rank
discrimination against educated
women in favor of trained
women for lower positions or
men, whether educated or not,
for higher supervisory work. This
fact, Miss Thimester added, is
evidenced by the fact that some
college graduates and girls with

How does the sweet girl
graduate fare in the business
world? According to lone
Murphy, Dean in charge of
Vocational Guidance at Agnes
Scott, the situation really is not
so bad as many think. Atlanta
firms are highly complimentary
of Scott girls. The "Image relates
to your intellectual maturity,
industry, sense of responsibility
and social concern." She went on
to say that many graduates of
ASC tafc a significant role in the
community setting.

Citing the phenomon^l number
of ASC students who pass the
Federal Service Entrance Exam,
the first step in being in line for
federal government, she
commented on the favorable
impression thatlhis makes on the
business community.

When questioned about the
difference in pay scales for men
and women, Miss Murphy replied
that "you can't single our
graduates out." There has been a
greater emphasis on grades in the
past than there is at present. An
employer interviewing a Scott girl
whose average was "C" as well as
female UGA student who had a
"B" average would certainly pay
attention to Agnes Scott's
academic program. The sciences,
technical, occupations and the
U.S. government focus greater
attention on grades than more
general occupations. Summer
jobs also influence employers.

What should the guidance
department do to help students
with their careers? Miss Murphy
answered that there is a great deal

of confusion in the public's mind
over what a woman's role should
be and that we cannot expect any
one individual to overcome all
the instances in society at large."

In commenting on women's
careers in general, she said
"Women are less likely to have
made a decision of what they
want to do than men."
Everything in our culture say to a
man that he is going to work: he

Sixpence

"Once upon a time, the good
housrwife of rustic England was
likely, quite literally, to stumble
upon a fortune . . . sixpence in
her shoe." Pulitzer Prize winner,
Phyllis McGinley takes an
"anti-Feminine Mystique" stand
in her book- not about shoes,
sixpence, or rustic England, but
rather good housewives and in
Miss McGinley's own words,
"their enthusiasms, myths,
manners, husbands books, guests,
friends, children, foos, and the
other paraphernalia of living."

Miss McGinley, warmly,
sentimentally, but always
convincingly, introduces the
reader to the oldest profession in
the world - handmaidens of the
home, that "antique sisterhood"
dating back to the time of Adam.

What about an education for
this noble calling the silent
majority of the homefires?To
the colleges which claim
homemakers are misusing their
opportunities and betraying their
education, Miss McGinley offers a
stern reply. She determinedly
defends the liberal arts deucation
as a separate entity from a
professional education.

To Miss McGinley, learning is a
personal good. A liberal arts
education is a "precious stone"
which can glow on a kitchen

six years of schooling were being
employed as unskilled labor while
much less educated men held
managerial positions.

It is doubtful that this trend of
misusing the tremendous
potential of educated women will
or can continue. "The need will
be so great in the future that skill
will determine job application
rather than sex," Miss Thimester
asserted. Supervisory and
managerial posts will be filled
therefore with more women
educated to the extent that
Agnes Scott students are.

Some of these past students
are, in fact, now employed in just
such positions and in other
challenging professions across the
U.S. The alumnae of Agnes Scott
have excelled in as many fields as
our economic system has offered.
They have also served in nearly
every geographic location in this
country and around the world.

Miss Thimester urges students
to seek advice in their particular
field of interest from alumnae.
The alumnae office on campus
can help the student get in touch
with past graduates but Miss
Thimester hopes to see a file
organized and opened to all
students containing the name,
location, and professions of
alumnae.

Gary on liberal arts

by JUDY MILNER

. The career oriented woman is
no longer considered a
phenomenon in today's society.
Woman are being encouraged to
exercise their intellectual and
creative abilities in the office as
well as in the home. Higher levels
of education and job
opportunities in almost every
field are being made available to
them. A glimpse at the number of
women on the Agnes Scott
faculty is illustrative of this
trend.

There is still a preference for
men in some major ateas, but
woman have good opportunities
to succeed in these areas.
According to Miss Julia Gary,
Dean of Faculty, "There are a
great many women with excellent
capabilities. In whatever careers
they choose to pursue, they must
prove they have talents, initiative,
ability and a real desire to do
well."

In view of these facts, many
people wonder how a liberal arts
college, such as Agnes Scott, can
benefit the career-minded
woman. A liberal arts school is
not intended to give its students
professional training.

This does not mean that a
student who graduates from a
liberal arts school cannot pursue
a successful career. Graduates of
liberal arts colleges do not have
to teach to make a career.

Focus on Women

In the words of Miss Gary,
"The liberal arts school is
oriented towards giving the
student an understanding and
appreciation for learning. It
enables her to assume a critical
approach to all she hears, aeea,
and reads. It helps her learn new
things, formulate ideas, raise
questions, and seek answers these

questions.
A liberal arts education is part

of a life pattern. Whereas a

technological education is aimed

more at specific knowledge which

affects only one's career. A

student who attends a

technological or professional

institution must decide on a

career at a very young age. A

liberal arts school offers a wider

variety of courses and allows the

student more freedom of choice

in choosing a course of study.

Miss Gary feels that, "Agnes

Scott students should be - not

worried - but thoughtful about

pursuing careers. They might

want a husband and a family and

a career. A woman needs to enjoy

what she's doing. She needs to

get :satisfaction out of what she

does with her time in order to be

a satisfied and happy individual.

Woman can afford to do this

more than men, because women

usually do not have the same

financial responsibilities as men.

Every woman ought not pursue a

career. Some women just like the

idea of devoting thamselves

wholly to husband, family, and

home."

"What is Color"

Ed. Note: The following article
is taken from the "New York
Times Student Weekly," dated
February 24, 1969.

William Meany wrote the
following story for his English
class at the Brooklyn (N. Y.)
Preparatory School.

"Sight, one of the greatest of
all the gifts given to man, is so
often taken for granted that few
men have the opportunity to
understand its value.

Like so many others, I could
not appreciate its benefits until a
good friend of mine who,
through a trick of fate was born
blind, asked a simple question:
"What is color?

I was caught so off guard by
this simple question that it
knocked me head over heels. My
only immediate escape was to ask
him if I could think about it. This
is my answer:

That's some question, Joe.
"What is color? But I'll try.

Black is the empty feeling you
get when you realize how lonely
each person really is. It's the
touch of water at night. The taste
of bitter defeat. Black is the
dying words of a true friend. The

scent of decay.

Red is the warmth of the sun
on your face on a spring day. The
aroma of a single rose. It's the
taste of freshly picked cherries.
The sound of a child's laughter.

Green is the feel of grass wet
with dew. It's the taste of fresh
lettuce. The smell of the forest
after a spring shower. The crunch
of a piece of celery.

Purple is the feel of velvet. It's
the music of the trumpets when
the king approaches. The
fragrance of violets. The taste of
wine.

Brown is the smell of burning
leaves. The taste of chilled root
beer soda. The sound of a falling
tree. The touch of something
impassionate.

Yellow is the stinging taste of a
cold lemon. It's the sound of a
shrill whistle. The smell of a
newly painted room. The mild
satisfied feeling you get when
your work is done.

Blue is the sound of a
rainstorm. The taste of cool
water. It's the feeling you get
when you bathe in a mountain
stream. The first scent when you
wake up on a hot summer day in
the city."

Ivan Allen, ex-mayor of Atlanta, receives congratulations on his
Convocation speech. According to Allen, Atlanta made a great deal
of progress in the 60's because of a foresighted planning
commission and forceful leadership. He cited the Civil Rights
program in Atlanta as well as the city's success in attracting big
business as particularly outstanding.

Eclipse
Info

Total solar eclipses art; a
photographer's delight; they are
quite rare at any one locality, and
they are beautiful to observe. But
for the many who will want to
observe the eclipse tomorrow, it
is important to take some
elementary, common-sense
precautions.

Normally, the eye can look
briefly at the sun because it
automatically restricts its light-
gathering power by the iris. But
when a solar eclipse is almost
total, the iris opens to admit
more light. The narrow line of
the fine crescent of the sun's
brilliant disc is still concentrated
like an arc of light and can inflict
serious burns on the retina.

To protect both camera and
eyes, the light of the sun must be
greatly reduced in intensity. Sun
glasses are no protection. The
safest way to observe an eclipse is
by projecting an image of the sun

photographs are enlarged by
projection on a screen or when
printed, good eclipse pictures can
be obtained with standard
cameras. However, the lens
aperture must be closed and the
filter replaced before the end of
totality. Even a small part of the
sunlight shining between
silhouetted mountains on the
Moon's rim - called Baily's beads
(trivia fact no. 431 ) can cause the
camera damage.

CAP

CONT. from PAGE 2

changed the face ot the academic
life of the campus. In the fall of
1967, CAP asked the faculty for
a subcommittee to study the
possibility of going on a five day
week, thus eliminating Saturday
classes. A committee headed by
Mrs. Miriam K. Drucker was
established and in 1968 Agnes
Scott began its experiment with
the five day week.

CAP also brought to the
faculty a request that students be
allowed to take some courses on
a pass-fail basis. A pass-fail
system was in effect
experimentally for two years and
was adopted on a permanent
basis in the spring of 1969. The
Board of Freshmen Advisors
which was set-up to help the
freshmen in academic registration
was the result of the suggestion
of CAP. A subcommittee of CAP
worked on the changes in
voluntary class attendance
(consult handbook) which were
passed by the faculty last spring.
The proposal for self-scheduling
of exams went from CAP to the
faculty in October of last year
and was instituted on a trial basis
in winter quarter of 1969.

Discussion in CAP has recently
lead to a faculty committee to
re-evaluate group requirements
which constitute the required
courses that now consume nearly
two years of the work toward the
degree. As a result of concern
about the number of students
who transfer after the freshman

and sopnomore years, Carolyn
Cox presented to the committee
a study from questionnaires sent
to students who transfered out of
the class of '71 .

The Committee on Academic
Problems has also concerned
PCself with the independent study
program, the problem of
academic pressure, and the
possibility of something like a
Four-One-Four program in which
students would spend part of the
academic year doing
independent, concentrated study
in one field.

The most recent considerations
of the committee have been the
formulation of a plan whereby
grades will be sent to the students
themselves instead of to their
parents, the possiblity of
increasing the flexibility of
sophomore schedules by opening
more upper-level courses to
sophomores, and the possibility
of moving the bookstore from its
cramped quarters in Buttrick to
the Hub.

The domain of the concern of
the Committee on Academic
Problems extends into every
aspect of academic life. And
CAP's record is monument to the
fact that students here do have an
effective voice in molding the
educational process in which they
involved. If you are concerned
about the academic life of the
campus and have suggestions for
change, CAP is the place where
you can be heard. It is the place
where things happen.

Voting Age to Remain

cmortam

WASH I NGTON -(CPS) -The voting
age will not be lowered by legislation in
the currnet session of Congress, and
chances for passing a constitutional
amendment to allow 18 year olds to
vote are considered slim.

This is the view of most observers
here despite the Senate passage of the
Mansfield amendment to the Voting
Rights Bill which would allow 18 year
olds to vote in all elections after
January 1 , 1971 .

The bill now goes to the House of
Representatives. If the House refuses to
agree to the Senate amendment, as
expected, the question will be left to a
House-Senate Conference Committee
whose chairman, Rep. Emauel Celler
(D.N.Y.) has vowed to "fight like hell"
to kill the bill.

Although the Senate overwhelmingly
passed the Mansfield amendment, its
conferees are not expected to be much
more disposed toward the 18 year old
vote. Both Senators James Eastland
(D-Miss), the Judiciary Committee
chairman, and Roman Hruska (R-Neb),
the ranking Republican, voted with the
minority on the motion to table, and
therefore kill, the Mansfield
amendment. The motion lost by a vote
of 21-62.

Debate on the bill centered on its
constitutionality, which all agreed was
doubtful, since the constitution leaves
voting qualifications to the states.
Proponents argued that the Supreme
Court decision in the 1966 case of
Morgan vs Katzenbach offered hope the
Supreme Court would throw out the
law.

If the bill were passed, the
Constitutional defense would be based

on the theory that since 18-year-olds
can do such things as marry, get drafted,
and be tried in adult courts, it can be
considered a violation of the equal
protection clause of the 14th
amendment for them not to be able to
vote. Under the Morgan decision,
Congress is given wide powers to
determine what practices violate that
clause.

Supporters pointed out that over half
the men who have been killed in
Vietnam were under 21, and unable to
vote. Speaking of those who are drafted
at 18, Mansfield said "I think they have
earned the vote, nd earned it far better
than many of us in this chamber."

The basic idea of lowering the voting
age has become, as one Senator put it,
"just like Motherhood. You can't
oppose it." Over 70 Senators, including
a majority of the Judiciary Committee
have joined in co-sponsoring a
Constitutional amendment to drop the
minimum age to emerge from the

Judiciary Committee.

The amendment would have to be

passed by two-thirds majorities of both
houses, and then ratified by three
fourths of the states. If it reaches the
Senate floor, it will almost certainly
pass, but its chances in the House are

The youngest and probably
most radical candidate in
Georgia's forthcoming
gubernatorial race is a secretary
at Emory University. Linda
Jenness is not, however, the
typical secretary. At twenty-nine
years old, she is a member of
the fledgling Socialist Workers
Party, and has already run (and
lost) a race for mayor ol Atlanta.

Mrs. Jenness' campaign is based
on four main issues. The first and
most basic is immediate
withdrawl of the troops from

therefore be unable to make over

The world is charged with the grandeur of God.

It will flame out, like shining from shook foil;

It gathers to a greatness, like the ooze of oil

Crushed. Why do men then now not reck his rod?

Generations have trod, have trod, have trod;

And all is seared with trade; bleared, smeared with toil

And wear's man's smudge and shares man's smell: the soil

Is bare now, nor can foot feel, being shod.

And for all this, nature is never spent;

There lives the dearest freshness deep down things;

And though the last lights off the black West went

Oh, morning, at the brown brink eastward, springs-

Because the Holy Ghost over the bent

World broods with warm breast and with ah! bright winds.

PROFILE

SGA

Why do you want to hold this
office: what is your basic concept
of your board or office; what
does it do on the ASC campus
and can you justify its existence;
what innovations do you have
planned for your board?

Cox: We must demand that the
new Rep. Council either work
independently or in conjunction
with the faculty on acadenic
reform proposals, that it assume
responsibility for the effective
implementation and evaluation of
new social regulations, and that it
play an active part in educating
the campus to problems of local
and national importance,
encouraging individuals to make
their opinions known and helping
to channel them into constructive
and concerted action. These are
my goals and reasons for seeking
office.

TAYLOR: In the coming year,
student government will have
tremendous responsibilities and
challenges inaugurating the new
social regulations proposed by
SCRAP. The SGA president will
therefore be involved a great deal
with coordination and
innovation. Having been a
member of SCRAP, I am
particularly committed to an
effective follow-through program
for implementing the new
policies. Rep. Council will be
particularly involved in dialogue
with the administration and with
the student body; it will be in an
even deeper sense a representative
organization and an organ of
communication. The special
need for such an organization at
this and other times more than
justifies Rep. Council's existence.

What is your concept of the
direction that student
government should take in
planning for the future? What
kind of school do you expect
ASC to be in ten years?
twenty-five years? How does
your plan for student government
fit in with this conception?

Cox: The 1970-71 Student
Government should go on record
as recommending that Agnes
Scott contract for a professional
study to be undertaken

CANDIDATES

The following questions were directed to the candidates by tjhe PROFILE.

forecasting the future of the
College in the next 10-25 years.
Until then, long-range planning
and proposals for fundamental
change (co-education, etc.) are
premature. In the meantime, we
need to recommend those
changes, both academic and
social, which, in the given
context of the College as we
know it, will contribute to a
greater realization of our

common goals and values.

* * *

TAYLOR: Looking toward the
future, I would like to see
student government involved in
improving inter-campus academic
cooperation in the Atlanta area,
and in maintaining a sense of
community on our campus as we
grow in size and expand our
academic interests and facilities.

Can you foresee a
re-organization of student
government? If so, along what
lines? centralization, de
centralization, etc.? Would you
be in favor of subordinating the
other boards to Rep now that
Honor Court is more or less
autonomous?

Cox: We should consider
creating specific constituencies
for members in order to enhance
Rep. Council's representative
capacity, reevaluating the
practice of having board
presidents sit on Rep. Council,
and instituting an executive
council for policy-making and
interboard coordination.
Subordinating boards with
particular appeal (recreational,
service, etc.) to boards of wider
scope (Rep. Council, Inter-
dormitory Council) is a
possibility.

* *

TAYLOR: The recent
constitutional changes involving
Honor Court, Interdorm Council
and Dorm Council reflect a
strong trend toward
decentralization. I see no need to
reverse this trend in terms of
other boards. Overlapping
functions wastes energy, but
coordination of boards is
essential.

Some students seem to feel
that this campus is in the midst
of an academic crisis. What is
your opinion on this problem as
well as the dissatisfaction that
accompanies it? Are you
concerned with any one academic
problem?

Cox: I share the concern of
most students about the number
of transfers we lose, the
inflexibility of requirements, the
need for a more contemporary
and varied curriculum, and the
inconvenience and burden of a
semi-quarter system. Our
academic problems are quite as
serious as our social problems this
year, and the same concerted
effort must be applied to find
imaginative and workable
solutions.

* * *

TAYLOR: The "academic
crisis" we now experience is, I
believe, a result of an excess of
specific, restricting requirements,
and of too few opportunities for
individual exploration and
enthusiasm in course work. We
need more time for more
independent study and less
pressure to pack so many
requirements into so few years.
The concern for a liberal
education has drifted toward a
frantic grasping at a straw from
each department. Reforms in this
area are among my primary
concerns.

Can you see a future for COSP?

Cox: COSP has accomplished
the goals for which it was
established; if further need
continues for its existence, COSP
should demonstrate it in the
spring quarter, when a thorough

evaluation is necessary.

* *

TAYLOR: If and when Rep.
Council finds itself again in need
of a committee to study student
problems in depth, a committee
like COSP may be valuable
assistance. I see no particular
need for such a committee
immediately, and prefer to see
Rep. Council devote itself to
student problems.

Mow do you intend to handle
the question of social policy if
the RC's stemming from SCRAP
are not passed by either the
Administrative Committee or The
Board of Trustees.

Cox: I am confident that the
Administrative Committee and
the Board will consider the
SCRAP proposals wi^fi the same
reasonableness and 7 throughness
with which the commission itself
operated. Any difference of
opinion which might arise would
surely be one that could be
resolved to everyone's
satisfaction by calm an candid
deliberation.

TAYLOR: I foresee no major
problems in putting SCRAP's RC
90 into effect. If some parts of it
are not passed, we will simply
keep trying, through dialogue
with the administration, to reach
an understanding and a workable
system suitable to all.

AA

Why do you want to hold this
office: what is your basic concept
of your board or office; what
does it do on the ASC campus
and can you justify its existence;
what innovations do you have
planned for your board?

Fulton: I am running for
Preisent of Athletic Association
because I believe that the board
can be of great service to Agnes
Scott. Having been on the board
already for three years, I have felt
my moments of frustration,
believe me. Yet, this year has
been a tremendous one, and I'm
enthusiastic about the
possibilities for next year.

A. A. provides an opportunity
for anyone, regardless of ability,
to parcitipate in athletic
activities. Its overall purpose,
however, is much wider than this.
I would like to see A. A.
re-evaluate the idea of "spirit"
and seek to generate an
enthusiasm which includes far
more than the "rah-rah" kind.
The board should continue, in
addition, to turn outwards, to

sponsor off campus trips and
more service projects.

Do you see AA as a major
avenue for intercollegiate
contacts? How would you work
to increase or modify these
contacts?

Fulton: Intercollegiate
activities should be restricted so
as not to interfere with
intramural sports. We cannot
have both; your time is limited,
and so is A.A.'s money. Campus
support of basketball, however,
seems to have hit a new low. In
this case, where there are only a
few really serious basketball
players, I would like to see their
efforts channeled into a full
intercollegiate program.

What role should AA play in
projects like that at the Juvenile
Home? Should these be left to
CA? Why or why not? Do you,
feel a major commitment to
encourage students to involve
themselves in activities off
campus?

Fulton: A. A. has a valuable
role to play in the area of service
projects, and it is here that C.A.,
Social Council, and A.A. can
accomplish much by working
together. I do feel a major
commitment to making such
activities available; although we
are no longer needed at the
Juvenile Home, the project has
been a successful one, and I
would like to see more student
involved in similar projects next
year.

It has seemed that in recent
years the Hub has fallen into
disuse except for large parties.
Do you have any specific
suggestions for using the Hub
better or for increasing
participation at Hub parties.

Fulton: The Hub, I hope, will
be put to better use next year,
and the interests of the bookstore

Why do you want to hold this
office: what is your basic concept
of your board or office; what
does it do on the ASC campus
and can you justify its existence;
what innovations do you have
planned for your board?

JAR RETT: With a basic belief
in the value of the Honor System
at Agnes Scott, I feel that I can
best contribute to its preservation
as the Chairman of Honor Court.
Three years experience on Rep.
Council would enable me to
organize Honor Court with an
understanding of the intentions
of the committee which created
it and to participate more
representatively in discussion
involving legisl ation in
Administrative Committee.
Honor Court is itself an
innovation which, if properly
organized, will be an effective
means of handling those
violations deemed by SCRAP to
be fundamentally detrimental to
life in an academic community.
LEWIS

I am running for chairman of
Honor Court in order to have a
part in determining the attitudes
our campus will take towards the
basic "non-negotiables" we have
agreed upon and to be involved
with the manner in which they
will be upheld. Honor Court will
represent the integrity of a
student body concerned with
their own development and that
of others. Functions will include
presenting the positions of
students, individually and
collectively, to the
Administration, discussing and
trying to alleviate general
problems on campus, trying cases
involving violations of the
non-negotiables agreed upon as
basic to the campus. I justify the
existence of Honor Court because
its creation and functions were
approved by us through the
reorganization of House Council
and Judicial and through SCRAP
proposals. I take this to mean
that the campus will be behind
the board as it functions to
uphold the ethics essential not
only to Scott but to any
community. I plan to handle
cases with an openness to each
individual who comes before the
Court and with a sound
knowledge of judicial procedure.
A person who comes before
Honor Court could conceivably
be found "not guilty" or receive
any penalty operative from the
Dorm Council to the Honor
Court.

PROFILE

APRIL I; 1970

HONOR COURT

McFADDEN

It is my basic concept of Honor

Court that it functions primarily

as a symbol -- as a deterrent to

both anarchy and a watchdog

system. This concept is founded

in the notion that there is

something basically wrong with

the idea of "enforcing" an honor

system. As far as the system truly

works on honor it is

unenforceable. An honor system

is administered. The function of

Honor Court is then to embody

the abstract, to keep it in

everyone's minds so that the

system is administered by its own

viability. Thus, the system works

commensurately to the respect of

the students for the symbol and

their belief in the efficacy of

what the symbol represents.

Likewise, the symbol commands

respect only in so far as it is not a

farce. The new structure offers

Honor Court this symbolic

function rather than loading it

with the petty concerns of late

minutes, noise and phone co-Op.
* * *

SPRINGS: Since many new
social policies are likely to go
into effect fall qyarter, it seems
imperative to me that the new
Honor Court be set up efficiently
from its beginning Having beenon
Judicial, I am aware of the
weaknesses and strengths of the
present system. I realize that in
some instances Judicial has been
neither trusted nor trusting, and
what I would like to see with the
new Honor Court is a board
which has both the respect of the
student body and, at the same
time, respect for the individual
student.

Kiease interpret the so-called
"dual responsibility" clause in
RC87.

JAR RETT: Dual responsibility
will become increasingly
important as SCRAP's proposals
are put into effect. A student
must consider the remaining
regulations sufficiently important
to her own safety and well-being
to report her own infractions and
to talk personally to any known
violator. If her personal attempt
in unsuccessful or if she does not
wish to confront the offender, it
is a student's obligation to discuss
the problem with someone in a
judicial capacity who will then

attempt to convey to the violator
her responsibility as a member of

the community.

* -* *

LEWIS: Dual responsibility
involves respect for self and
others. Violating the basic
policies approved by the students
necessitates turning yourself in
because you have broken a dual
responsibility to yourself and to
other members of the
community. n Dual
responsibility has nothing to do
with turning someone else in.

McFADDEN:" Whether the
"new" dual responsibility is
really new will depend largely on
its implementation. This
interpretation gives any student
the privilege of reporting any
other student. This must be
clearly understood as neither a
right nor a duty. Previously it has
been the duty of the student to
talk with anyone she knew to
have broken a rule and/or report
this infraction to a judicial then if
the student did not turn herself
in she was often harassed by a
number of persons - sometimes
successfully, sometimes to no
avail. In addition, under the old
system coming before the board
constituted an admission of guilt
whereas in this system the
exercise of the privilege puts the
responsibility of proof on the
person who has exercised the
privilege.

* *

SPRINGS: Dual responsibility
consists of one student's
confronting another when she
feels that the honor system has
been violated, thus indicating her
concern for the standards of the
school. If the student who has
been approached refuses to turn
herself in, then the first student,
if she wishes, m ay go to a Judicial
or directly to the administration,
as the system operates now. If
"dual responsibility" were
changed to mean that one
student could turn in another,
with guilt or innocence
determined by Honor Court, then
the court would have more
power. However, I question
whether we would not be
sacrificing a great deal in giving
up a basic trust in the integrity of
each student, were we to adopt
such an interpretation.

What is your position on dorm
searches? How will they be
handled under the new system?
Do you feel that they do or do
not infringe unduly on personal
rights?

JAR RETT: Dorm searches are
a tool which should be available
to a campus judicial body as a
last resort in combating a
sufficiently evidenced major
violation. The need for a search
would probably be suggested by
an individual Dorm Council by
virtue of its greater immediate
contact with dorm problems and
would be carried out with the
approval of I n terdormitory
Council and the assistance of
Honor Court. An offence major
enough to warrant a dorm search
is a greater infringement on the
rights of non-offenders than an
invasion of privacy.

LEWIS: Dorm searches do
"infringe unduly on personal
rights." Offenses of theft or
possession of drugs should be
handled through personal
contact. If this fails, a dorm
search should be conducted only
after a vote of confidence is
received from the dorm involved.

McFADDEN: Uorm searches
are in two words a "necessary
evil." Under the new system they
should be handled by Honor
Court in conjunction with the
individual dorm council with the
knowledge of the officers of the
Student Government Association.
As these searches do infringe on
personal rights they should be
conducted only in extreme
circumstances and only on the
request of the students in the
dorm to be searched.

SPRINGS: I agree with the
present procedure used for dorm
searches: if a theft problem can
be localized to a certain area, and
if an immediate report is made of
the loss of an identifiable object,
then a dorm search seems to be
the only solution to a problem
which endangers more than a few
people. Since dorm searches are
so infrequent, and more
protective than detective, I do
not feel that they infringe unduly
on personal rights, and I do not
feel that they infringe unduly on

personal rights, and I fell that
Honor Court should be the board
involved.

CONNIE MORRIS

Why do you want to hold this
office: what is your basic concept
of your board or office; what
does it do on the ASC campus
and can you justify its existence;
what innovations do you have
planned for your board?

Is Religious Emphasis week still
valid at ASC? Why or why not?
Do you plan to continue it as it
now is or do you plan to modify
it? If so, how?

Do you think CA can actively
lead campus reform? If so, what
are your plans? If not, why not?

To what do you attribute the
campus apathy toward CA as
evidenced in attendance at
chapels, poor financial support
and disinterest in CA projects?
Would you be in favor of
concentrating CA's efforts on one
large project (in the way that
Junior Jaunt is arranged or RE
week)?

Has CA ever attempted to
analyze the required Bible course
at ASC in terms of its importance
to students here and the board's
purpose? Should the board
concern itself in this area?

The next few years are going to
be critical ones for Agnes Scott.
We have seen many changes in
the social regulations and in the
nature of the student body that
are going to raise questions and,
perhaps, direct the College
towards goals that are different

a part of student government and
to work to shape the College's
future. I have only begun to
realize that expressing concern
and criticism and not actively
taking part in trying to do

different from taking the

INTERDORMITORY COUNCIL

Why do you want to hold this
office: what is your basic concepl
of your board or office; what
does it do on the ASC campus and
can you justify its existence,
what innovations do you have
planned for your board?

BENTON: I would like to hold
the office of Chairman of
Interdormitory Council because I
realize the important function
that this board will have in
assuring that the structural
changes in Student Government
are effective. The Chairman
would have an important part in
accomplishing this aim. One of
the functions of IDC will be to
promote a certain amount of
dorm autonomy while assuring
overall continuity with regard to
procedure and implementation of
policies. Individual dorms will
regulate some policies, but IDC
must provide the framework
within which dorms put these
policies into effect. IDC will
formulate guidelines for handling
penalties for violations of dorm
regulations. The point system
needs to be reviewed and revised.
IDC will be the bridge between
dorms and the Dean's Office to
insure that the decentralization
process is efficient.

MclNTOSH: As Interdorm
Chairman I would strive to
establish a board responsive to
both tangible and intangible
needs, creating an atmosphere
conducive to academics and
meaningful dorm life and
providing a means through which
dorm rules can be made relevant.
The newness of structure and,
possibly, rules suggests -
demands -- a new approach to
cases: cases must be evaluated on
the basis of relevance to new
rules, not to past rules or
decisions. Community living
necessitates some regulations,
consequently Interdorm is
needed to insure some measure of
uniformity to basic rules deemed
significant for organized dorm
living by students. Interdorm
should be totally innovative,
working to re-evaluate the point
system so point and offense will
directly correspond to
inconvenience caused, toward
open lobbies, toward a more
satisfactory room selection, to
ward aiding in getting student
services such as a parking lot
between Winship and Gaines, to
ward making Interdorm's Rep
position a definite expression of
desired dorm legislation

expressed by students. Especially,
Interdorm should work towards
decentralization of the D.O.,
subsequently, revising hostess
duty, and toward dorm
autonomy, providing a means for
dorms to vote on dorm closing
hours, smoking areas, and
parietals, carefully insuring that
definite provisions will be made
for any minority in these three
areas. Furthermore, Interdorm
should constantly re-evaluate
regulations to keep them
meaningful.

What does your board and
position stand for and how wide
a range of responsibility do you
admit? Please be specific.

BENTON: During spring
quarter, IDC will have appellate
jurisdiction in cases of lateness
and point appeals referred to it
by individual dormitory councils.
Next year the expansion of
Dormitory Council's jurisdiction
to all cases, except those in which
Honor Court has primary
jurisdiction, will necessitate a
wider range of responsibility for
IDC. IDC will serve as the
coordinating body for dorm
activities and as a liason between

SOCIAL COUNCIL

Why do you want to hold this
office: what is your basic concept
of your board or office; what
does it do on the ASC campus
and can you justify its existence;
what innovations do you have
planned for your board?

ROUSH: In the February 20,
1970, issue of the Profile an
article by Rep. Council leaders
expressed their desire for the
student body to be concerned
about the future of Student
Government Association and
Agnes Scott. "Hey student, do
you care, do you really care???"
This verbalizes the challange I
feel at Scctt. The next page of
the Profile was filled with news
of a successful Sophomore
Parents' Weekend. Why should
the campus bind together and
work for one weekend when we
are energetic and enthusiastic
about class work, extra-curricular
activities, fellow students - Scott

in general? Why is it that parents
would not see this same
enthusiasm if they appeared
unannounced? This, I believe, is
The Problem - general apathy.
The seriousness of this problem is
that students exist but never feel
they have time for deep interest
in any academic or
extra-curricular activity.
Successful events such as SPWE
gives me hope that students do
care and really do have the time
to be free, human, fun-loving,
enthusiastic women. This is why I
want to be President of Social
Council. After working on the
Board for the past two years I
feel that I have insight into what
activities the students like and
dislike. My concept of Social
Council is what it does and can
do for A.S.C. Social Council can
provide interesting events to serve
as combination centralized social
functions and much needed

breaks from the mental tensions
of a heavy academic load.

STITH: the college community
is a reflector of the society of
which it is a part, and
adventuring in social maturity
constitutes one of the significant
opportunities of the college
campus years. Therefore, the life
of the student outside the formal
and often required activities of
the college is a major field to be
considered. Herein lies the
responsibility of Social Council:
to provide voluntary activities fo;
the student beyond college
requirements and the
competition of intellectual
pursuits. Social activities can help
a student use leisure time
profitably, provide her with the

Conti. on P.6

the dorm councils and Honor
Court, the Dean's Staff, and the
Administration.

MclNTOSH: Interdorm stands
for everything essential to
efficient community living and,
effectively employed, can provide
an atmosphere within dorms
conducive to academic pursuits
which also allows for maximum
social freedom and responsibility.
Thus, a refocusing of policies
bringing, for example, the
drinking and smoking policies
under Dorm Council/ and thus
Interdorm, as proposed by
SCRAP is required by the new
structure, since these are of direct
concern to each dormitory and
should be considered in view of
their effect on that community.

What is your position on
parietals? Are you in favor of
working on this as a Board or do
you feel the need of greater
student advocacy for this policy?

BENTON: I feel that the
response to the poll on parietals
indicated a lack of student
demand for open dorms at this
time. I think tha open dorms
would be appropriate on special
weekends such as Homecoming,
Winter Weekend, etc., but should
not be set up on a weekly basis.
It should be IDC's responsibility
to set up the procedures for
having parietals, and I would like
to plan to begin having the dorms
open some weekends this spring
quarter.

MclNTOSH: Perhaps open
lobbies will take care of the need
for parietals. If not, further study
should be done by Interdorm on
the effect of parietals on
academics. Then, if a need for
parietals were still expressed,
Interdorm should devise a system
connected with dorm autonomy
so that each dorm and possibly
hall could vote on when and if
they should have parietals.
However, caution must be taken
so that parietals are not forced
upon an unwilling student body.
In connection with this,
Interdorm should definitely work
for more areas equipped with
TV's, pool tables, etc., to be
available for student use.

What is your position on dorm
searches? How will they be
handled under the new system?
Do you feel that they do or do
not infringe unduly on personal
rights?

BENTON: In my opinion dorm
searches can be justified because
they are used only in
exceptionally serious cases when
all other means of investigation
and enforcement have failed. The
problem would probably initially
come to the Dormitory Council
and be referred to the IDC. The
Chairman of the IDC should then
consult the Chairman of Honor
Court because the violation in
question would be of such a
serioLis nature that it would come
under their jurisdiction. Honor
Court should be required to have
the consent of the student body
to exercise this power to conduct
dorm searches. I feel that dorm
searches are a means of
protecting 'the rights of
individuals living in a community.

MclNTOSH: Dorm searches
under any circumstances are
offensive and must, by their very
nature infringe on personal rights.
Under our present honor system,
searches should never be
necessary. However, if searches
are used, it seems as if they
would be under Honor Court,
since it deals with stealing -
perhaps they would initiate it and
a dorn council carry it out. A
dorm search, if resorted to after
all other avenues, should initiate
from a general desire of students
in a dorm when continuous theft
of identifiable objects occurs and
can be localized. To minimize
infringement on personal rights, a
person should be encouraged to
be present during the search.
Dorm searches should never be
employed by Interdorm to look
for evidence (liquor, pot, etc.) to
force someone to turn themselves
in as long as the present honor
system is used. Hopefully, with
SCRAP rule changes the dorm
atmosphere will be such that
dorm searches will not be needed
- they will be outdated.

opportunity to test and modify
her own personality with others,
help her establish new
relationships, and provide short
entertaining activities for those
necessary "study breaks."

This year was a very active one
for Social Council. Orientation
activities included a fashion
booklet mailed to the freshmen
during the summer, a formal
reception with the faculty, and a
student fashion show. The
following months involved a
fraternity soccer game, a special
fashion show by Regenstein's,
movies, fraternity mixers,
Osborne tour films, the "Dating
Game," hub parties, Winter
Week-end dance activities, and
the Reed and Barton Scholarship
silver survev.

With only about a third of the
Agnes Scott population attending
the recent Winter Dance
Weekend, how can you justify
expending so much time, effort,
and money on this project? What
are some improvements or
alternatives to this weekend?

Please be specific.

KUUSH: Social Council
considered this year's Winter
Dance Weekend a success.
Approximately two hundred
students attended - which is
notably more than attend any
other voluntary campus activity.
The Board tries to make all the
improvements that are financially
possible on both dances every
year. Possible alternatives such as
having only one dance similar to
this year's Friday night formal
with a popular band, or a concert
in lieu of one or both dances,
could be considered by the
Board. However, these should be
voted on by the student body
since we are working with their
money and need their support
through ticket sales and
attendance to make Winter
Weekend a success.

STITH: Social Council's biggest
event is Winter Dance Week-end.
The week-end was a success for
those who attended, but it will be
necessary for the Board to
reevaluate the validity of the
function, as only about one third
of the ASC population
participated. The great amount of
money necessary for
accomplishing this occasion
cannot be justly acquired or
spent when participation is at a
minimum. Alternatives to be
considered consist of limiting the
dances to one, or a complete
re-organization of the week-end
with possibilities for establishing
a Senior banquet or some other
function in accordance with
student desires.

What is position on parietals?
Are you in favor of working on
this as a Board?

ROUSH: Since parietals '3
involve the social living rules of
the campus, I think that Social
Council definately should work
with Rep Council in formulating
them. Personally, I believe that
upper classmen at Scott have the
age and maturity to accept
personal responsibility for their
actions. On this premise I
advocate lenient time limits (if
any), little supervision and, thus,
more freedom for upperclassmen
to schedule their own lives. In
doing this, we would mature
more realistically at Scott,
justifying our actions by what
each one of us believes is right,
not by what the D.O. or Judical
says we must do. However,
because Scott is in Atlanta and
the majority of Freshmen are
used to their parents' close
supervision, I think guidelines for
entering Freshmen are justified.

STITH: Parietals concern the
entire campus community, and I
am willing to work on this issue
as a committee member. As an
earlier questionnaire was not an
adequate representation of
student opinion on parietals, I
feel that further research in this
area may be worthwhile.

The popularity of the Hub has
declined markedly in recent
years. Can you propose any ways
to use it to better advantage?
Please be soecif ic.

ROUSH: I have given quite a

bit of thought as to why the

spirit of the Hub was burned with

the building and never was

rebuilt. Five or six years ago the

Hub was a lively gathering place

for Scotties, and men from Tech

and Emory. I think it is possible

to revive the popularity of the

Hub. Next year, with further

decentralization of the campus

taking place, will offer a bigger

need for a central student

activities building. This, I believe,

is the best use for the Hub. Some

suggestions to lure students there

are: move the snack bar to the

Hub; have more Hub parties;

keep the Hub better supplied

with cards, etc.; test the

popularity of mixers; etc. It takes

energy to fight apathy but Social

Council will try.

*

STITH: Suggestions for greater
utilization of the Hub being
considered are: (1) converting
part of the Hub into a new Book
Store; and (2) changing the Snack
Bar from the LDH to the Hub.
Both innovations are almost
equal in cost, and plans will be
considered as to which, if either,
will be the more beneficial.

AA

should come first. This doesn't
mean that I want to do away
with Hub parties. (Horrors!) Yet,
enthusiasm for singing around the
piano seems to be limited to a
few hard core upperclassmen.
Perhaps a varied program - which
included more than singing and
sweatshirt selling - would interest
more students.

showed that they had a uric acid better teeth than Eskimos who

1. Why do you want to hold
this office: what is your basic
concept of your board or office:
what does it do on the ASC
campus and can you justify its
extense; what innovations do you
have planned for your board?

I have no specific reasons for
wanting to hold the office of
Profile editor. Working on the
staff since my freshman year I
have become acquainted with the
procedures of the paper and the
possible potential of a college
paper. I would like to see this
potential formulate into action. I
am not concerned with what the
paper does on the campus at
present; I am concerned with
what it could do in the future.

Some specific innovations I
have planned include a student
opinion column, a faculty
opinion column, and a column

gripes with friends, students
should write them down, get
them out into the open where
something can hopefully be done
about them. The column would
not have to be in a composition
form but could be entitled
"Gripes, "Ideas," "Wants," with
ideas listed. The column might be
a cartoon or short story. A
faculty opinion column would be
a similar opportunity fc
professors to express their views,
reactions, and feelings. On the
lighter side, a sports column
could be a great asset.
Accompanied with pictures this
column could be quite
entertaining. Any volunteers?

2. Can the Profile be more
effective as a social force on the
ASC campus? Will you work
actively for reform? If so, in what
areas. Are you interested in any

about sports on campus. The specific academic problem?

an opportunity for students to
express themselves openly and to

against only three for her.

If you graft a piece of flesh
from a young man's abdomen to
his arm, he may develop a
protuberance of the arm at the
same time he develops a pot belly
in later life. The protuberance, in
both cases, is produced by
increasing deposits of fat in
particular kinds of fat cells. The
reason for the selective
deposition is still poorly
understood.

HE FLAT EARTH SOCIETY is bigger than you think. Almost every-
one belongs, because, as Euclid noted, a plane is infinite. Consider
the advantages:

Infinite air supply, capable of absorbing any amount of nitrogen and
sulphur oxides, hydrocarbon residues, etc., with no ill effects.*

Rivers without end, sufficient to carry any amount of sewage and
industrial waste to an infinite ocean, too large ever to be polluted.

Unlimited forests and grasslands capable of enduring unlimited ex-
ploitation.

An infinite frontier, always someplace new to go and leave behind
noise, garbage, chemical and radioactive poisons, famine, war; an
earth which can support an unlimited population.

The Flat Earth Society has much to offer, if you just accept its social illusion^
and reject the "optical illusion" above. It has strong institutional support: steel
companies (strip mining, air pollution), oil companies (offshore drilling, air
and water pollution), aircraft companies (the SST, noise and air pollution),
some organized religions (anti-birth control), automobile, lumber, real estate
interests, etc., etc.

Conservationists are the spoil-sports. They sec limits everywhere. They are:
paranoid (distrust technological tampering with the environment), socialistic
( reject the right of private owners to plunder the earth i, hippy ( take to woods
to escape "progress") and fanatic (wage militant fights against the destruction
of the earth's ecology |

JOIN A ROUND EARTH SOCIETY

SUPPORT THE TEACH-IN

Throughout this spring, and especially on April 22, Round Earthers on hundreds of campuses will join in a
NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL TEACH-IN to explore nature's law of limits. This can be a historic break-
through in understanding all that is needed to have a whole and healthy earth.

The Sierra Club, a young, 77-year old Round Earth Society, hopes you will participate - that everyone on
your campus will seize this opportunity to learn ways to protect the environment.

To help you, the Sierra Club has prepared an environmental activist's handbook - ECOTACTICS. It will
arm you to take the initiative to combat Flat Earth thinking: to find out how to keep your life-support system
intact. ECOTACTICS will soon be available at your local bookstore.

ENVIRONMENTAL ACTION IS SOMETHING YOU DO.

You can: Read ECOTACTICS. Help your campus conservation group (if there is one; if not, form one.)
Make April 22 the launch date for an ecologically sound future. Contact environmental scientists and other
concerned members of your faculty to develop informed and effective ecotactics. Find out what is planned for
April 22 on neighboring campuses and offer to help them. Enlist their help.

Many Round Earth Societies
have long been carrying on the
tight against degradation of the
environment. Alone they can-
not shatter the illusions of Flat
Farthlmgs. They need the ener-
gies of the New Generation
which, with luck, will inherit
the spaceship earth. So join and
>upport one of the Round Earth
groups. Or two of them. Or
more.

VOLUME LVI NUMBER 17

Agnes Scott College Decatur, Georgia 30030

APRIL 17, 1970

Group chosen to study
total academic program

Getting ready for several quarters of probing into 'academics at
Agnes Scott, the new committee(l. to r., Merle Walker, Julia Gary,
Ned Moomaw, Michael Brown and Margaret Pepperdene), meet to
discuss the goals.

Students want say
in campus affairs

WASHINGTON,
D . C . (CPS) -Widespread changes
to curtail campus disruptions and
to give students a larger role in
the governance of their
universitites were revealed in a
special survey of the nation's 1 13
state and land-grant universities.

Firm policies and procedures
on conduct and disruption and
positive responses to student
requests for more involvement in
he academic community highlight
the report released last month by
the Office of Institutional
Research (OIR) of the National
Association of State Universities
and Land-Grant Colleges
(NASULGC). The 54-page report,
"Constructive Changes to Ease
Campus Tensions," contains
more than 400 specific examples
of student participation in
university policy making. The
other major part of the report
reviews specific procedures and
policies adopted by state
universities "to protect their
campuses and to guarantee the
rights of those engaged in normal
university activities."

In recent years, unprecedented
violence and obstruction on the
campus, caused generally by
small groups of students, have
attracted a major share of the
nation, s attention.

While disapproving of many
of the tactics used to present
grievances, universities have also
been making diligent efforts to
deal with legitimate student
concerns, and to involve students
more deeply in campus
governance. Although students
have participated in campus
decision-making at some
universities for many years, in
recent years this involvement has
been intensified and expanded.
Similarly, in recent years, an

unprecedented number of
specific reforms and changes have
been adopted on campuses across
the country in direct response to
student concerns," the report
states.

The report features eight major
categories in which universities
have been especially active in
instigating changes. These areas
are: "Student Participation in
Governance;'' ''Student
Membership on Committees,"
"Student Participation on Search
and Screen Committees;"
"Self-Studies and Evaluations;"
''Communication and
Consultation with Students,"
"Student Involvement with
Boards of Trustees;''
"Ombudsmen," and Universities
Adopt Student Suggestions."

The survey sums up the
attitude of the participating
universities in regard to efforts to
obstruct or disrupt normal
campus activity by quoting a
policy statement adopted this
past summer by the Board of
Trustees of the University of
North Carolina and typical of the
attitude of most universities in
regard to campus protest:

"The University of North
Carolina has long honored the
right to free discussion and
expression, peaceful picketing
and demonstrations, the right to
petition and peaceably to
assemble. That these rights are a
part of the fabric of this
institution is not questioned.
They must remain secure.

"It is equally clear, however,
that in a community of learning
willful disruption of the
educational process, destruction
of property, and interference
with the rights of other members
of the community cannot be
tolerated."

Academic review and
rennovation is in its beginning
stages at Agnes Scott. Conceived
by the turbulence of general
dissatisfaction on the art of
students and faculty a group of
professors were elected at the
first faculty meeting of the
quarter "to begin plans for the
study of the total academic
program at Agnes Scott."

Julia T. Gary, Dean of the
Faculty, Margaret W. Pepperdene,
professor and chairman of the
English Department, Merle
Walker, associate professor of
history, and Ned Moomaw,
assistant professor of political
science, were chosen as the
;teering committee for this
roposed study.

A preliminary meeting of the
committee was held Wednesday
morning, April 8. The committee
then chose Gary as chairman of
the group and began to feel
through their task. Although this

by GINNY SIMMONS

first meeting was itself
inconclusive, it was admittedly
the first of many. The second
meeting was held last Friday,
April 10.

According to Gary the job will
be a long-range one, taking at
least several quarters. The present
committee, as she explains it, is
not to do the study but do
"decide what are our primary
objectives."

The first feat of this committee
will be the age-old, time-honored,
stainless- steel aim of "defining
Agnes Scott" -who we are, why
we are here. In the light of this
definition, the committee will
look "very critically" at degree

requirements, academic paliber,
credit-awarding other than
traditional (i.e. legislative
internships, work done abroad,
etc.) and group requirements.

Again, it is not the task of this
core committee to do the
intensive work needed in each

field. Its responsibility involves
determining the areas of needed
work and naming sub-committees
to do each specific part of the
study. As Mr. Brown pointed out,
"there are no perimeters defined"
for this group; their job is
monumental.

Subcommittees ultimately set
up to implement the studies
requested by this initial group
will come basically from the
faculty. Students will be used as
much as possible, but the fact
that student generations are so
short and that this study is
projected to cover several years,
puts the brunt of the work on the
faculty. Which students will work
on the committee has not yet
been determined.

Walker stressed that it is not
a venture of the administration,
but of faculty and students, for
"if it bogs down, it bogs down in
the classroom."

Rusk airs opinions here

Former secretary of State Dean
Rusk returned to his native state
Friday night to address a calm
and respectful audience at Agnes
Scott. Rusk and his listeners
exchanged questions and answers
in an atmosphere notably free of
the bitter challange and
controversy he experienced as
Secretary of State, and more
recently as a proposed Professor
of International Law at the
University of Georgia.

Speaking as a private citizen
who has "moved from the
difficult world of decision to the
exhilirating world of opinion,"
Rusk has called for cooperative
action between the generations in
their search for a durable peace
and "a better answer than
collective security."

Admitting than the country
was suffering from a "withdrawal
syndrome" Rusk, who is hardly
an isolationist himself, seemed
quite realistic and retrained about
new U.S. commitments. He
advanced a 'wait and watch'
attitude toward new governments
in Greece, Rhodesia, and
Cambodia, and noted difficulties
in acting on the problems of
political terrorism and POWs held
by Hanoi.

Rusk rejected the term
"containment" in describing our
policy in Southeast Asis, but
indicated that peace in the area
depended on Communist
countries deciding to live with
their neighbors. Presently, Hanoi

by JANET LEVY

seems to be playing a waiting
game to see how far the U.S.
pullback will go, and Rusk
cautioned that North Vietnam
might take advantage of a time
when its troop strength surpassed
that of the U.S., should our
withdrawal proceed faster than
our program of Vietnamization
Rusk ad m i tted being
pessimistic about a peaceful
settlement in the Middle East.
Since neither side in the conflict
will make necessary concessions,
he looks to a Big Four agreement
on "guidelines that would
persuasively promote peace,"
however, he acknowledged the
fact that such an agreementhas
not been forthcoming, possibly
because of Soviet resistance.

Disagreeing with many experts,
Rusk forsees a fair chance for
Sino-Soviet reconciliation*

Summing up his years as
Secretary of State under
Kennedy and Johnson, Rusk
observed that "the greatest
mistake was the Bay of Pigs, the
greatest crisis, the Cuban Missle
Crisis, and the greatest
disappointment, the failure to
end the war in Vietnam."

On the domestic front, Rusk
said that he favored the 18-year
old vote and saw the need for a
possible constitutional
"revisitation" because of the
inability of the states to handle
many contemporary problems.

Welcomed into the Phi Beta Kappa at convocation on April 15

were seniors (I. to r.) Dusty Kenyon. Janet Levy, Sherie F. Hodges,
Norma Shaheen,Valerie Pearsall, Ginger Reeves, Jean Wall and (top
row) Kathy Mahood, Marion Gam ble and Bonnie Brown.

Let's Move

It is finally spring quarter. Many of us give a sigh of relief
that we have almost made it through the year. For many it is
the last quarter at Scott. For seniors it is the end of four
years. Spring does not, however, mark only the end, it also
marks the beginning.

We have new people in office and a new structure -
Honor Court, Interdorm, and Dorm Councils. There is talk
of revising Rep. New people in office, new structure - new
chances, new opportunities - for students.

In the past only a few people have worked for what
many have wanted and the process has consequently been
very slow. In other colleges and universities students get
with their leaders - NOT PASSIVELY BUT ACTIVELY.

As students we seem very passive. We are excellent
gripers and can tell anybody what is wrong with anything -
but who do we tell it to? Rep Council members? Faculty?
Letters to the Editor? NO - we tell it to our roommates in
the usual bull-gripe sessions which are campus-wide. The
results of these sessions - misery and a determination to
transfer.

This year please let's be different. Let's not end up as the
"Silent Majority" portrayed in the above cartoon. This is
not a call to arms or marches, but a call to intelligent
thinking, some really good debators, and hard work. If we
really get with our leaders and let them know what we
want and support them ACTIVELY the administration or
whatever cannot stall. Some problems are urgent. If we
want them to be solved during our stay at Scott we must
work together.

You may say how. Some suggestions:

T. Cut out relevant articles or write notes - suggestions or
criticisms - and drop them (anonymously if you wish)
into mail-boxes of certain students or teachers.

2. Confront your profs. If you don't understand why you
are memorizing flow sheets in chemistry ask why. Some
things might be relevant to us in ways which we have
not considered. Profs can point out this relevancy. If
there is no relevance perhaps through rational discussion
things can be changed. It does no good to go back to
your room and complain. Discuss it with your prof.
They are rational and for the most part concerned.

3. Come to Rep. Council. If you're timid, bring some
friends and crash it. Let yourself be heard.

4. There will be a column entitled "Student Opinion" in
the PROFILE from now on. If you have something to
say send it to Box 764. Get your suggestions out in the
open where something can be done. Articles may be
anonymous on request. Ideas you write will be taken to
Rep.

5. Get involved. If you're tired of studying find
something that interests you - something you enjoy.
Work on a committee, catch up on cultural
opportunities in Atlanta, get involved in Georgia
politics. Catch up on the pollution problem. Get
involved in the Moratorium. Join Women's Liberation.

There are plenty of things that need doing. There are
urgent problems - on campus or off. It's much easier to be
passive but more gets done and faster if we're active. It's
also more fun. It's spring - a new beginning.

Let's get things moving.

Student Opinion

At Agnes Scott, most freshmen
and sophomores are at the mercy
of five professors. Each of the
five professors requires that a
student meet his individual
standards of what a student
should be. One wonders how any
student can meet five different
standards of what she should be,
especially when she tries to meet
them to the teacher's satisfaction.

Each student should be in the
business of realizing her
capabilities as teachers encourage
her and as she sees them. In order
to realize them, a student of
course needs direction. At Agnes
Scott, there seems to be more
fragmentation than direction in

the first two years. The faculty
has elected a committee to review
the Agnes Scott curriculum. If
there are those who feel that five
classes per student in the first
two years is not a good way to
have the curriculum arranged,
their opinions need to be made
known. It may be that Agnes
Scott College will be as good as
the communication which
happens between faculty
members and students.

Does our ten to
one/faculty-student ratio mean
anything to freshmen? Does
anyone know?

The PROFILE is starting two
new columns entitled "Faculty
Opinion" and "Student

provide an opportunity for better
communication. As students we
should be aware of other student
opinions and of faculty opinions.

These opinions and suggestions
should get out into the open

To The Editor:

Whereas the seating capacity of
Gaines is insifficient even for
immediate families of graduating
seniors, not to mention other
guests, and the cooling system in
Gaines is inadequate;

And whereas an outdoor
graduation ceremony would
accommodate in more pleasant
surroundings all those desiring to
attend;

And whereas it is feasible to
hold this ceremony in the area
between Buttrick and Presser,
with faculty seating and the
ceremony itself on the small
brick quad and seating of guests
between the small quad and
Campbell and with the academic
procession moving from the
direction of Dana (allowing
guests to view the procession in
its entirety);

And whereas it is also feasible
to hold this ceremony in the
Amphitheater;

And whereas we desire to
express our ideas and preferences
concerning our graduation
ceremony;

We, the undersigned, by
presenting this petition do
indicate our ardent desire for an
outdoor graduation ceremony
and propose that steps be taken

immediately to implement either
of the aforementioned plans or

an alternative one.

To the Editor:

,On Wednesday, April 22, Earth
Day, people all over the country
will be expressing concern about
air and water pollution, the
deteriorating quality of our
environment, and the problems
of over-population. Below are
listed a few thoughts regarding
ASC's involvement or possible
involvement with these concerns.

Pollution-The administration
and trustees have made the highly
commendable decision to build a
new steam plant before next
academic year-a plant which uses

oil as a stand-by fuel instead of
coal. This decision is probably
the greatest single anti-pollution
measure the college could make.
Additionally, consideration might
be given to establishing a policy
of not burning leaves and trash
with open and smoldering fires.

Quality of Environ-
ment--AI though there are several
projects of a civic nature in
which one might become
involved, greater interest might

use tr.em.

be developed in improving our
own immediate environment.
Several faculty members and
some administration officials are
interested in seeing the area
behind the steam plant and to the
west of Roger's cabin developed
into a garden area (park or
arboretum). If a representative
group of students were also to
indicate interest, action would
undoubtedly follow. One way to
keep the cost of this landscaping
low would be to invite local
garden clubs to sponsor the
project in return for use of the
land.

Over-population A series of 2
or 3 short seminars on
over-population might interest
many people. Speakers could be
found to talk about population
control effort*- (successes and
failures), birth control methods,
etc. These seminars would
probably be most effective and
best attended if they were
distinct from the marriage classes.

Youth art

In a unique cooperative effort,
the High Museum of Art and the
Hardee Circle Community Arts
Center will put on a joint arts
festival at Hardee Circle from
Sunday, April 9 through Sunday,
April 26. The program will
consist of works from the
Museum's own collection
exhibited side by side with art
works done by the black children
of Hardee Circle. Each night
there will be showings of films
made by these same young
people.

The Hardee Circle Community
Arts Center is located at 1667
Hardee Circle, N.E., Atlanta.
(Hardee Circle is about one mile
south of Candler Park. Turn off
Moreland Avenue onto Hardee
Street and go east until it
becomes Hardee Circle.)

Opening festivities, which will
include a 'paint-in', are scheduled
from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. on
Sunday, April 19. The exhibit
will be open to the public
through Sunday, April 26. Hours
are from noon to 8:00 p.m. Films
made by the young participants
in Hardee Circle's program will be
shown from 2:00 to 3:30 on
opening day and every day
thereafter from 1 : 30 to 2:30.

The Hardee Circle Community
Arts Center was created a year
ago to provide residents of the
area with a means of expression
through the arts. It is under the
direction of Eddie McMichael and
is a project of Community Arts,
Inc., a tax-exempt organization.
It serves young people ranging in
age from six through 22, and
operates from Monday through
Saturday. The Center's four
workers offer workshops in
graphics, painting, creative
writing, mixed media, ceramics,
group discussion )an open-ended
forum for older children), and
black history. Last summer some
of the children participated in a
special project conducted by the
Urban Mythology Film Program,
now part of the Atlanta Public
Library. They made films based
on scripts written by the children
and utilizing props also made by
them. These films will be shown
each day during the festival.
Gudmund Vigtel, director of the
Museum, has said: "It is
important to us at the High
Museum that works of art from
our permanent collection can be
used at Hardee Circle Community
Arts Center in its creative
program to stimulate the young
people who are participating in
their projects."

French (don't worry, it has

APRIL 17, 1970

Our environment
some general info

National attention has turned
to the problem of pollution.
Since the beginning of time man
has mistreated his environment.
Yet now the situation which man
has created for himself has
become critical. Man is being
forced to examine this problem
and see what can be done.

Pollution for the most part is
caused by modern technology.
Yet people are demanding
cheaper and better goods and will
in all likelihood continue to do
so. As population grows so does
this demand and also pollution.

Much of the damage which
pollution does is to the
ecosystems. An ecosystem is
comprised of all the living and
nonliving parts which support a
chain of life in a given area.
Pollution, by destroying certain
plants or animals in this chain,
can upset the equilibrium of an
ecosystem which nature has
established.

Ever increasing interest in the
field of ecology has been brought
on by growing concern. Still little
is known about these delicate
chains of nature and what effect
pollution can have on them. This
is then perhaps one of the most
dangerous parts of pollution.

Air Pollution

There are three major types of
pollution. Air pollution is one of
themost serious. This pollution is
caused mainly by factories and
plants, airplanes, automobiles and
other internal combustion
vehicles.

It has been estimated that the
United States thrusts 200 million
tons of smoke and fumes into the
air each year. Of this amount
about 94.6 million tons are the
result of automobile exhaust.

The results of air pollution are
harmful to many plants and
animals. Also it contributes to
the respiratory ailments of man
himself.

Smog, the result of strong
sunlight on automobile exhaust
can cause dead spots on leaves,
the cracking of rubber, the
deterioration of cotton fabrics,
and further eye irritation and
damage to lung tissue.

The Air Quality Act of 1967 is
just now getting into effect. It
calls for the combined efforts of
government on all levels to clean
the air. Still it is not known how
effective this legislation will be.

by PRISCILLA OFFEN

Water Pollution

A second type of pollution is
water pollution. Water pollution
is mainly caused by mine and
factory dumpings, oil spills,
fertilizers, pesticides, and
municipal sewage.

Wastes or farm fertilizers in the
water can create "algae blooms."
These blooms result in the
depletion of oxygen in the water.
Fish are then destroyed and
ultimately this effect will cause a
lake to turn into a marsh and
then a meadow. Lake Erie has
already begun this cycle.

Furthermore according to Dr.
Lamont C. Cole of Cornell
University, 70 per cent of man's
oxygen supply comes from the
microscopic green plants of the
sea. Man though is polluting his
oceans and doesn't have any idea
what the consequences will be.

A special type of water
pollution is called thermal
pollution. Nuclear power plants
use water for cooling. By
dumping back great amounts of
this heated water into the
streams, the temperature of the
stream can rise a few degrees, and
ecosystems are destroyed.

Land Pollution

Land spoilage is a third type of
pollution. This type remains for
long periods of time even after
the source has been removed.

DDT and other pesticides are
contributors to this type of
pollution. The building of cities
and roads encroach on the
greenery as well. This spoilage
could reach such a level that man
would no longer have enough air
to breathe. Strip mines also do
much to destroy land vegetation.

Theories have been proposed
which see global disaster as
eminent if pollution continues
unchecked. One such theory is
called the "green house effect."

As the world's vegetation is
chopped down, a concentration
of carbon dioxide is building up
in the atmosphere. Green plants
normally convert this carbon
dioxide into oxygen through
photosynthesis.

This carbon dioxide would
form a barrier trapping the
world's heat. A temperature rise
of 4 or 5 degrees could cause the
polar ice caps to melt. World
flooding would be the result.

Another theory takes a
different point of view. As more
pollution is poured into the air,

the cloud cover over the earth
would thicken. This cover would
screen out the sun's heat. The
planet would cool; vapor would
fall and freeze and a new Ice Age
would be born.

Besides these theories of global
disaster scientists have become
concerned that the supply of
clean air and clean water will run
out, and in the near future.
Therefore man must look to his
environment.

At present the automobile
industry is trying to find cleaner
fuels and a more efficient engine.
Factories are trying out recycling
systems whereby wastes could be
made use of. Yet some ecologists
feel that to look for the solution
in technology is the wrong
approach. Technology may solve
one type of pollution, but in so
doing will create another kind.

In the future it is hoped that
pollution will be able to be
turned into profit. Georgia
Pacific's paper mill at Bellingham,
Washington offers an encouraging
example. This company turned
the sulfide waste liquor that it
had been dumping into
Bellingham Bay into medicinol
alcohol as well.

The future may also bring
cleaner nuclear plants. To prevent
the thermal pollution which these
plants cause, the water can be
pumped into catch basins where
it is cooled before dumping it
back into the streams. Another
method involves the use of
cooling towers.

All 1971 cars will be equipped
with a device which will reduce
the hydrocarbon emission by 80
per cent. Research is being done
into gas-turbine, battery powered
or steam driven cars.

Despite these encouraging signs
for the future, man still has a
long way to go. Furthermore any
system for anti-pollution is going
to take money-money out the
consumers' pocket, but money
that he must be willing to pay.

Furthermore some consider
that for man to conquer
pollution, he must develop a new
social ethic. He must begin to
consider himself a part of nature
and not constantly try to
dominate over it.

Also man must begin to
consider time over long stretches
and not just the present. He must
perceive diasters that don't take
place quickly, but develop over a
long period of time. He must
committ himself also to
undertaking solutions which will
show no visible effects in his own
life time.

Noise

Urban America is now exposed
to a noise level that is more than
two times that of 1955, and it is
one of the main causes of exodus
from our cities. Background noise
in the average community has
risen so sharply that it exceeds
the standards accepted by
industry. Most environ-
mental-health specialists agree
that the daily decibel diet of
horns, sirens, motorcycles,
garbage trucks, jackhammers and
air compressors already
constitute a physical as well as a
psychological hazard. Medical
experts say that continuous
exposure to any decibel count
over 85 can do damage to the ear.
This is rather frightening when
experts also tell us that the
decibel reading for a New York
City street corner at rush hour is
95. Decibel readings from a
typical kitchen include:
dishwasher--56-85, garbage
disposal -90; food blender -93.
The decibel reading of a home
lawn mower is 98.

Scientists predict that if city
noise continues to increase at its
present rate, doubling every year,
everyone will be stone deaf by
the year 2000. Physicist Vern
Knudsen put it quite vividly
when he predicted that the
downtown areas of the largest

U.S. cities will eventually become
"as deadly as ancient Chinese
noise chambers."

The greatest tragedy caused by
excessive noise is its adverse
effect on health. In the U.S.
alone, 11,000,000 adults and
3,000,000 children suffer from
hearing loss, and noise is
definitely associated with one
primary type-nervie deafness.

Recent studies show that the
type of hearing loss that
accompanies old age apparently
occurs to a greater degree in
noisy environments. An
estimated 1,000,000 workers
have serious hearing loss due to
high noise levels in their work.
The World Health Organization
estimates that noise alone costs
US industry more than
$4,000,000,000 yearly--in
accidents, absenteeism,
inefficiency, and compensation.
The Veterans Administration is
spending about $8,000,000 a
year on claims of some 5,000
servicemen whose hearing has
been damaged by gunfire in
training or in combat.

Loud noises not only cause loss
of hearing, but they cause blood
vessels to constict, the skin to
pale, muscles to tense and adrenal
hormone to be suddenly injected
into the blood stream. Dr. S.

Rosen, Clinical professor of
Otology (the science of the ear)
at Mt. Sinai School of Medicine,
said that loud noise affects blood
pressure, the functions of the
heart and the nervous system,
which leads to heart disease, high
blood pressure and emotional
illnesses. He also stressed that
ears cannot shut out noise like
eyelids shut out light.

borne medical researchers say
that unborn babies may be
affected by excessive noise.
Authorities connect noise with
stomach ulcers, allergies, spinal
meningitis, indigestion, loss of
equilibrium and impaired vision.
Noise has been shown to reduce
power of concentration, reduce
communication, reduce
efficiency in work, increase
absenteeism and cause employers
to quit. New York First National
City Bank neatly solved the
problem by hiring deaf clerical
help in its check-processing
department. Tests made in post
offices showed that when noise
increased from 75 to 95 decibels,
productivity immediately
decreased by 25 percent and
mistakes made in sorting mail
increased four times.

Noise in excess has also been
blamed for family strife, suicide
and murder. Dr. Howard Bogard,
chief psychologist at Queens

Hospital Center in speaking of
the effect noise has on mental
health said that "a person who is
under personal stress and who is
subjected to a barrage of noise
will be further aggravated by the
noise; his ability to cope with his
personal problems will be
lessened. The noise could trigger
the person into a neurosis.
Without the noise he might be
able to deal adequately with his
problem." One recent study in
France suggests that noise is the
cause of 70 percent of the
neurosis in the Paris area,
compared with only 50 percent
four years ago. And it blames
noise for three recent
premeditated murders.

Many people feel that we are
faced with such a noise problem
today because social and legal
measures were not taken to
prevent it.

One recent magazine article
said that America is entering into
a new phase of the democratic
process -government by mishap:
Just as it took Santa Barbara to
call attention to water pollution;
perhaps our ears will have to start
bleeding on the streets before
something will be done about
noise pollution. It seems as if a
quieter society will only be
achieved when a concerned
public demands a new system of
priorities from the politicians.

April 22 - Earth Day - is only 5
days away, and not even its
supporters are sure what it will
accomplish. Its national sponsor,
Environmental Teach-In, is an ad
hoc information committee for
independent local groups
scattered across the country. The
day's events are being
coordinated by students. The
involved students hope that Earth
Day will be the beginning of a
mass movement for restoring
environmental quality. A more
realistic goal is that April 22 will
emphasize to the public
environmental problems.

In a speech September 20 to
the Washington Environmental
Council in Seattle, Sen. Gaylord
Nelson, D-Wis., proposed the idea
of "National environmental
teach-ins for next spring." He
repeated his proposal later in
speeches in Washington, D.C.,
Atlantic City and Wisconsin.

The idea caught on and
Nelson's office received letters
from campus and community
groups asking how they could
organize teach-ins - April 22 was
chosen as the date because
Nelson said "It had to be in the
spring to give people time to
develop it. It had to avoid
vacations and exams at most
schools. We were told that
Wednesday is a good day to get
campus space."

Nelson, Rep. Paul N. McClosky
Jr., R-Calif., and their aides
decided to make the teach-ins
non partisan, volunteer efforts
concentrated on local
environmental issues and student
managed. McCloskey, and
Conservation Foundation
President Sydney Howe
incorporated Environmental

Teach-in in Washington Nov. 19.
The Internal Revenue Service
granted the group tax-exempt
status as an educational
organization. Students have
coordinated the national effort
from Wash, ever since.

Due to the efforts of four
senior girls - Susan Morton, Anne
Washington, Janet Levy and
Elizabeth Mathes, Agnes Scott
will be participating in the
National Environmental
Teach-in. Ann and Susan, both
members of the Georgia
Conservancy, went to its
convention at the Marriott in
Atlanta in February. According
to Susan, the girls went with the
intention of trying to get help to
set up a program for the
Environmental Teach-in.

Four programs spread out over
three weeks are planned for
Scott. The first program was
presented Wednesday night April
15 at 7:30. Steve Johnson of the
Georgia Natural Areas Council in
Atlanta presented a slide
presentation and commentary.
Mr. Johnson, who h>es his Phd. in
Ecology, has been working with
the State of Ga. on its scenic
River System to preserve
beautiful streams. He was hired
by the state to canoe down Ga.
streams to see which were worth
saving.

Jamei Jamison, a student at
Tech who did a school project on
pollution with another student,
presented a psychedelic show on
pollution which emphasized the
damaging effects of pollution.

The second program will be

presented April 22, 8:15 in

Rebecah Reception Room. The

program will be a lecture given by

Robert E Hanie.
The third program will be

presented on Tuesday, April 28,
at 8:15 in McClain. It is hoped
that State legislator and
representative Reid W. Harris
from Brunswick will speak. Harris
is the leading Ga. political leader
on conservation and
environmental control. He is
largely responsible for the passage
in the Ga. legislature this session
of the major conservation bill
popularly called the "Marshlands
Bill." The bill gave the state the
right to control the marshlands.

The fourth program on
Wednesday, April 29, during
convocation will feature Dr. Dirk
Frankenberg, who is acting
chairman of the Dept. of Zoology
at the University of Ga. Dr.
Frankenberg's primary concern
was with the coastal areas of
Ga.-how they could be worked
to be useful and also enjoyed. He
worked with Eugen Odum on
the Coastal Island study and their
committee's recommendations
have been enacted into the law of
the state.

Of the four girls who have been
working to present the programs
to the school, Susan Morton is a
Botany Major, Anne Washington
a Zoology Major, Janet Levy, a
political science major, and
Elizabeth Mathes, an English
major and former editor of the
Profile. Janet Levy pointed out
how the committee represented
what they hoped to show in the
programs-that different groups
were going to have to get
together to help bring about a
solution to the problem of
pollution. The scientists have to
define the problems, the
newspapers have to inform the
public and the legislature has to
enact laws to control pollution
and aid. in conservation.

Did

you

know...

Scientists predict that if city noise continues toincreaseat its present rate everyone
will be stone dead by the year 2000.

The greatest tragedy caused by excessive noise is its adverse affect on health.

In the United States alone 11,000,000 adults and 3,000,000 children suffer from
hearing loss.

Water pollution is mainly caused by mine and factory dumpings, oil spills, ferti-
lizers, pesticides and municipal sewage.

It has been estimated that the United States thrusts 200 million tons of smoke and

fumes into the air each year. Of this amount about 94.6 million tons are the re-
sult of car exhaust.

Ail 1971 cars will be equipped with a device which will reduce the hydrocarbon
emission by 80 per cent. Research is being done into gas-turbine, battery pow-
ered or steam driven cars.

Women - second class citizens?

Editor's note: The following
article is a summary of
information sent to us by the
Southern Female Rights Union.
If you are interested in attending
the conference or would like
further information contact
Tricia Edwards, Ext. 284 or leave
a note in Box 664.

As a popular advertisement
proclaims, women throughout
the world have "come a long
way" in realizing the existence
and scope of their rights and
power. However, the Southern
Female Rights Union, a women's
liberation group centered in New
Orleans, charges that females,
regardless of who or where they
are, continue to be the victims of
''the oldest form of
i nstitutionalized oppression"---
sexism.

Sexism can be defined as the
system by which labor, money
and resources are unequally

divided in favor of the male
population, thus leaving women
in an inferior position. Women
must not only be aware of this
system of oppression, but they
must destroy it by fighting the
attitudes, people and institutions
which perpetuate it.

According to the Southern
Female Rights Union the woman
of 1970 is little better than a
slave, punching bag, and
experimental guinea pig for the
"sexist" men who control
government, science, Madison
Avenue, Hollywood, and the
home. As a result of male
domination "women pay the
costs in a lifetime of endless,
unthanked labor and suffering,
and personality disintegration."
Females become imprisoned in
their home by housework and
trying to keep their husbands
happy. They are killed or
seriously harmed by birth control
pills which have not been fully
tested .

by CAROLE KROC

In 1960 business paid women
on the average about one-half of
what a man received for the same
amount and type of work.
Advertisements insult the
intelligence and capabilities of
women (is the female mind really
obsessed with getting cleaner
clothes?). The film industry
regularly exploits women
physically for the sole purpose of
getting people to buy tickets to
see "the attraction."

To help stop sexism, the Union
prepared a list of demands which,
when instigated, will provide a
path for the liberation of women
from dependence upon men.
These demands include fulltime
(24 hours per day, seven days per
week), public childcare for
infants and children of mothers
who prefer to work outside the
home. Also needed is "an end to
sexual discrimination" in filling
job openings in all fields, from
the professional areas to the
trucking industry and the fire
department.

Another demand upon the
business world is that women be
given the same pay scale and
work benefits as men. In
addition, in order that women
need not be financially
dependent upon men, the
government must guarantee each
male and female an annual
income of $2400.

From the mass media a "new
code of ethics" is demanded.
Newsmen and filmmakers must
treat women with more respect,
giving them credit for as much
intelligence and usefulness as
men.

In achieving these demands, the
liberation movement finds one
big obstacle -men.

Men intentionally keep women
weaker than themselves. This is

the way they can control women.
Because of their weakenss,
females can also easily be
intimidated, harrassed, abused,
beaten, raped and even brutaly
murdered by males. As terrorism
against females increases every
year, the Union concludes that
"Male people are the enemy of
female people in a sexist society,
and females must exercise
self-protection against their
enemy."

Women should be trained to
strengthen their bodies and
reflexes so that they are able to
cope with a man's strength. This
increased strength will not only
help in defeating attackers but
also in destroying sexism. Once
men no longer hold the threat of
physical force over women, they
cannotclaim economic, business or
governmental dominance, either.

They msut deal with women on a
equal level.

To allow women to share
experiences, ideas and
information about all these
aspects of liberation, the
Southern Female Rights Union is
sponsoring a Southern Female
Liberation Meeting at Mt. Beulah,
Mississippi, on May 8, 9 and 10.
Several presentations and
workshops are planned. Topics
include "The Hidden History of
Women," the present state of
women in society, training in
self-defense and the basis and
goals of the women's liberation
movement. Hopefully women
will leave this meeting with new
insight into their positions and
roles as "liberated" women and
with new determination and
courage in the battle against
sexism.

I didn't say anything,
but I'm making $2000
more a year as a

Four years of economics and I found that all the good jobs in my

job, but instead, I decided to go to The Honeywell Institute of
Information Sciences. Honeywell offers a three-month course in
computer programming that's specially designed for college
grads. The course has already paid for itself! My job as a
systems analyst for a large Boston bank gives me the challenge I
wanted. And the pay I wanted.

I'd still like to get my masters, but now I can do it on my own time
and with my own money. Meanwhile, thanks to The Honeywell

Peace and quiet

WASHINGTON,
D.C.--(CPS-LNS)--President
Nixon must be getting very
uptight about the protest
movement, or maybe he's just
looking ahead to 1972.

A new bill, supported by Nixon
and introduced by Senators
Hruska and Eastland, would
make it illegal ''to utter loud,
threatening or abusive language"
or engage in "disorderly
conduct" in or near a building
which has the president inside it.

Apparently, the demonstration
at the lighting of the national
Christmas tree would not be
covered, as it was not in or near a
building.

The Washington Office of the
American Civil Liberties Union
has issued a statement
denouncing the new bill, charging
the administration with seeking a
way to be "walled off from the

voices of dissent and unhappiness
in our society."

Hruska, by the way, has led the
fights in favor of Supreme Court
contenders Haynsworth and
Carswell.

Abortion aid

It is now possible to obtain
safe, legal, abortions in England
and Japan through the activities
of a new national organization in
New York City, to aid women.
The organization is known as the
British Referral Service and
Travel Agency, Inc. and is located
at 160 West 86th St.

Charges for the service are
relatively reasonable. In London
the cost is $575 while the cost in
Tokyo ranges from $500 to
$700. This cost includes hotel,
limousine, food, and medical
charges.

The Agency itself charges a fee
of $155 for the referrals. This
price guarantees an escort from
the airport, confirmed hotel
accomodations, and hospital
appointments.

Going overseas?
Leave drugs home

At present more than 400
young Americans are in jail
overseas for drug violations, an
increase of 65 per cent since
February 1969.

Many involved in these arrests
are relatively innocent and are
dupes of their own naivity.

The penalties for narcotics
violations in most countries are
severe. Pretrial confinement of
those charged can be prolonged
up to one year without bail.
Posession of more than one
pound results in a minimum of
six years in jail plus a heavy fine
in some countries of one to three
years in a "detoxification
asylum," usually a mental
hospital, in others.

The U.S. consul can do little
but inform the arrested of his
rights, contact his family for
assistance and try to prevent local
prejudice.

Change in Requirements

Ring the bells! Fire the
cannons! Shout, yell, scream for
joy! Such might be the response
of an ASC student who has just
read the new supplement to the
1970 catalogue. Anyone who can
read recognizes immediately that
there have been some
revolutionary changes in the
academic requirements at ASC.
The new changes give the student
greater freedom and flexibility in
the academic area.

The origin of the changes can
be traced back to the Committee
on Academic Problems (CAP). In
January of 1969, CAP recomme
nded tcthe Curriculum Committee
of the faculty that upper division
courses be made available to
fulfill group requirements for
sophomores. CAP also suggested
that all specific and group
requirements for the degree,
except English 101 or 102, the
foreign language requirement,
and the science and mathematics
requirements to be completed at
ANY TIME DURING THE
FOUR YEARS.

by Janice Johnston

According to Julia Gary, dean
of faculty, the Curriculum
Committee set up a Sub
Committee to study the
recommendations of CAP. Eloise
Herbert, assistant professor of
Spanish, was Chairman of the Sub
Committee. The members of the
committee were Merle Walker,
chairman of the philosophy
department, Mary Boney,
professor of Bible and John
Tumblin, chairman of the
sociology department.

The Sub Committees'
proposals go into effect right now
so that students may benefit
from them when planning their
courses for next fall quarter.

The first major change is stated
in the second paragraph of the
Supplement:

The Academic Council may
exempt a student from any of
the required studies on the
recommendation of the
department involved. The
basis for exemption is a
demonstration of the
student's competence in the
field through an examination

and through an evaluation of
her previous study. No college
credit hours are granted for
exempted courses. The
purpose of such exemption is
to allow the student to enjoy
a broader intellectual
experience during the four
years of college. Up until now
a student could not exempt a
course unless she scored high on
an advanced placement test. Dean
Gary said that there were some
areas of study that did not offer
advanced placement exams, such
as Bible. Now the possibility
exists for a student to exempt a
course in all department.

Many of the departments have
removed prerequisite
requirements for 300-level
courses. Now most of the 300
level courses are open to
sophomores with permission of
instructor.

There have been many courses
added for the student to choose
from to fulfill group
requirements.

Gary commented on the fact
that the new changes prove how
loud a voice CAP can have in the
academic realm.

The fate of Alexander

by Priscilla Offen

1$ \5*^4fc$$*$* "

New cottage, Bowen House, will hold up to 17.

Next year Agnes Scott will
have a new cottage. Presently
there are five cottages on the
campus. The new cottage, Bowen
House, is located across South
Candler Street from the campus
and is the second house from the
corner.

The new cottage, Bowen
House, has been the property of
the college for some years. It was
at one time divided up into
apartments for single faculty
members and couples.

It is possible that Alexander
Cottage will be closed down
unless the need arises for six
cottages. Alexander was decided
to be the cottage which would be
closed because of all the cottages
it is in the worst physical
condition.

Because of the admission
situation, the decision whether to
use Alexander or not will
probably not be made until the
middle of the summer. If Scott
has about the same number of
boarding students next year as
this year, then six cottages will be
needed.

The building will be renovated
for its use as a cottage. Internal
restructuring and improvements
to the building are to be done.
The house has many nice
features, not the least of which is
spacious closets. The cottage also
has stained glass windows.

small

by Tricia Edwards

The small college, contrived at
a time when America could not
create or maintain the large
university, is unknown elsewhere
in the Western world. The college
emerged as a terminal point of
education for an unsophisticated
society of 13 or 14 year old
youths.

Obviously times have changed
and the small college must change
with them. In fact, the future of
the small college is questionable.
Paul McCain, Scott's Vice
President of Development, feels
that the small college in
relationship to the university will
serve as the "boutique does to
the department store."

At a time when almost
everything, including man, is
organized and mechanized and
computerized and dehumanized,
there is a great deal to be said for
colleges that allow room at the
joints. Students direct significant
discontent against the great,
impersonal multiuniversity that
treats students as interchangeable
parts in a giant educational
machine.

However, changes must be
made. The greater maturity of
the student should permit the
college to dispense with the
burden of "in loco parentis."
Students no longer tolerate
supervision of their social
activities, but they still demand a
great deal of parental care. They
take for granted dining and
housing facilities, gymnasium,
swimming pools and libraries that
are not found outside of the
United States.

college

Relaxation of parietal rules is
the negative side of what should
be a positive program: that of
encouraging a larger degree of
student participation in the life
of the college and in the life of
the community of which the
college is part.

Perhaps more vital to the small
college is the question of
academics and finances. Scott
authorities estimate that in ten
years the cost of current quality
of education will double. Tuition
will rise to help cover the cost.
The answer to rising cost is still
flexible. State support may ease
the load for the small college.

Adjustment of the academic
program is another idea. With the
increasing high quality of
secondary preparation, the two
years of required introduction
courses may be eliminated and
replaced with the three year
college which concentrates on
more advanced courses. Smith is
now endorsing a program with no
specific required courses.

Mr. McCain thinks the Eastern
students with good prep-school
backgrounds can handle this
program. However, the diverse
backgrounds Scott students have
hamper such an arrangement. He
believes that such eliminations
should occur in the high school.
Students would be able to
advance to college at anytime
they pass specified exams.
Advanced placement programs
are a forerunner of this idea.

The future of the small college
lies in emphasis on quality rather
than quantity.

Changes

Changes have been made. Gro'jp requirements are
basically still there but they are much more flexible and
there is now the possibility for students to exempt any of
the required studies. There are also more courses which can
be used to fulfill the existing requirements.

Freshmen and sophomores do not have to finish basic
requirements by the end of the sophomore year and many
upper level courses are being opened to sophomores with
the permission of the instructor. These are truly important
steps towards more accdemic freedom.

There have also been notable changes in the social realm
and if SCRAP goes through we will not have much use for
the worn-out phrase "in loco parentis." Regardless of what
happens to SCRAP, achievements toward more social
freedom have been made. Extended time limits and the
omission of an invitation for overnight absences are two
such changes.

More channels are being opened in which students can
communicate their ideas to faculty, administration, and to
other students. We no longer have the right to say "there is
no way to get things done around here." There are ways -
we just have to use them. And "we" has to include more
than a handfull.

The changes that have been made thus far are important
and significant. They are proof that things can be done.

LETTERS

To the Editor:

May I be so bold as to warn the
students, faculty and
administration of Agnes Scott
that there is a big hole in our
reasoning and one of our greatest
assets is about to slip through.
The asset Mrs. Betty Salicco of
the Music Department.

Hired, aware that she was just a
one year fill-in for a teacher on
leave, Mrs. Salicco has gone above
and beyond the call of duty
during her short stay. W ith
enthusiasm never failing she has
seen the Glee Club through its
most active season in many a
year, including two concerts last
quarter, four joint concerts with
male Glee Clubs, a tour, and
plans for a week-long tour next
year, knowing she will not be
going. Mrs. Salicco has also
composed music for the Glee
Club, the Dance Group and the
French play. It seems that she
cares not so much for her own
promotion as for the promotion
of music and the creative arts in
general.

Even if she could not teach,
just having an artist like this on
campus would be good. However,
as a student in one of her theory
classes, I can honestly say that
she is one of the best teachers of
any kind that I have ever had.

Mrs. Salicco has inspired us in a
way that I have never seen even
among the best teachers (many of
which are here at Scott).

There is no desire to replace
anyone who is part of the
faculty, but rather to add Mrs.
Salicco- even on a part-time
basis. She would be invaluable
with her knowledge of
composition and contemporary
music.

What is wrong with Agnes
Scott when we let the rare
combination of artist and teacher
slip past? This appeal to take an
active part in trying to keep Mrs.
Salicco is issued first to music
students for academic reasons
and finally to all students and
faculty for aesthetic reasons.

It is understandable that the
big draw-back in keeping Mrs.
Salicco is lack of money, but I
am afraid we are missing the
point. The fact is, Mrs. Salicco is
the spark this school has lacked
for a long time and will miss
sorely when she is gone.

We are hoping for enough
support from students, faculty
and alumnae, however, to make
the administration do
something We fully believe that
if they REALLY want to, then
they can.

Sincerely,
Ginger Rollins

SCRAP

Where are you?

by Carole Kroc

May 1, 1970

Student
Opinion

The campus has once more
catheterized its Calvinistic soul
with Junior Jaunt. For nine
months minus one day you loll
about in your upper middle class
sanctuary with only an
intellectual concern for 'the
poor.' Then for one day in the
spring you throw yourself into
helping 'the poor.' What the hell
can three hours and a pittance do
to alleviate the dismal prospects
facing these people? I'm not
against charity, only against
'Sunday charity.'

There are many things we as
students could do of a much
more lasting nature but these
would 'last' into our time for
sunning and playing bridge, too.

For one suggestion many of
you complain vehemently about
the homogeneity of the students
at this college yet CA's King
scholarship has failed miserably
to gain student monetary
support. Why not put the funds
from Junior Jaunt into a project
like that? Of course then you
would have to give up one of
your favorite whipping boys of
administrative policy. As one
student has said bluntly, but
rea listically "I f you want a
nigger, buy a nigger."

A second suggestion is that you
examine the neighborhood
surrounding this campus. Except
where the college has greedily
and fearfully snapped up the
land, we live in a sea of middle to
lower class backs. Would it not
alleviate tensions if we gave them
some help instead of pushing
them farther and farther into a
gutter by our attitude as shown
in our ludicrous real estate policy?

There are college houses with
nice yards lying fallow on every
street around here. Why not turn
one of them into a day care
center for the children of the
working mothers in the area? We
the students could work there
and keep the costs down to the
pay scales of most of the blacks.
In addition our social science
students would have a convenient
and intensive exposure to
children, children of another way
of life. Of course this project
wouldn't get us a full page spread
in the Atlanta Journal every
spring-but it would make our
streets safer.

Working toward a late-spring
deadline, the Administrative
Committee continues to examine
the proposals presented by
SCRAP and accepted by the
student body.

According to Dr. Wallace
Alston, president of the college,
the committee plans to finish the
work in "ample time" to refer its
decisions and suggestions back to
Representative Council in May.
Any disparity between the
committee's decisions and the
SCRAP report as presented to the
committee will then be
"negotiated" between Rep
Council and the Administrative
Committee. After the
negotiations the final, official

policies will be printed in the
1970-71 Student Handbook.

Since the approval of the
SCRAP proposals by the students
in March, the Administrative
Committee has held at least six
meetings. Only one meeting did
not concern SCRAP.

When asked about the method
of the examination of SCRAP,
Alston commented that the
members of the Administrative
Committee seem to be "taking
their job very seriously and are
being very careful in examining
the proposals." By reviewing the
report in small sections and as an
overall plan, the committee
strives to "understand what is
needed, what is wanted by the

students, and how it will help the
college."

Dr. Alston also stressed that
the committee members are
"very sympathetic- they have a
real appreciation of the student
point of view." On the basis that
more information would hinder
the progress and work on
SCRAP, however, he refused to
comment further on the general
attitudes of the committee and
the discussions.

In addition, to Dr. Alston, who
is chairman of the Administrative
Committee, administrative
personnel on the committee
include Roberta Jones, dean of
students. Julia T. Gary, dean of

the faculty, and Laura Steele,
registrar. Marie Pepe, associate
professor of art, Claire Hubert,
assistant professor of French,
Michael Brown, associate
professor of history, and Marion
Clark, professor of chemistry,
comprise the faculty
representatives.

Carolyn Cox, new president of
Student Government Association,
and Angie Jarrett, president of
Honor Court, recently replaced
retiring SGA president Dusty
Kenyon and Judicial Council's
president Nancy Rhodes as the
student representatives to the
Administrative Committee.

Boys at Agnes

by Cindy Harvey

Yes. Agnes Scott now boasts
men students. Two. They are not
from Six Flags Seminary
(Remember the Black Cat
scandal?). They attend Emory
University.

Steve Acuff and Day Werts
escape to Dr. W. A. Calder's
astronomy classes every Tuesday
and Thursday. Day came to ASC
to take astronomy. However,
Steve hopes "to become a whole
man" under Scott Both "coeds"
major in physics and are juniors
at Emory. Steve experiments
independently with radiation on
teeth. Day also has a research
project, "Solid State Analysis of
Semi-Conductors Using A
Michaelson Interferometer."

In their opinion separation of
the sexes in higher
education is undesirable Day feels
that school is a good place to
associate with people of the
opposite sex. But this is not why
he came to ASC. He happens to
be pinned.

Steve expressed his ideas by
saying that separation is
abnormal. He likes coming to
Scott and thinks that it's fun.

A more sociable atmosphere
seems to pervade the "coed"
classes. Some girls in these classes

take a greater interest in their*
appearance. Steve says that
Scotties dress nicer than Emory
girls.

Resuming astronomy classes
spring quarter was a different
experience for Scotties. Steve
noticed a reaction of surprise in
many girls. Some looked at him
as if he were intruding. Day felt
conspicuous. And the Scotties.
Well, anyone can imagine how
THEY felt! Few, if any, Scotties
object to having Steve and Day in
their astronomy classes.

Steve and Day are not the first
men to come to Scott. Others
have come in the past. The
exchange is in conjunction with
the University Center.

ASC belongs to the University
Center with Emory, Georgia
Tech, Georgia State, University
of Georgia, Columbia Theological
Seminary, Atlanta School of Art,
and Oglethorpe College.

The ASC bulletin says that
"chief areas of cooperation are in
library services, departmental
conferences, visiting scholars, and
faculty research. Agnes Scott and
Emory University have a joint
teacher education program, with
a single director and broad
cooperation in faculty and course
offerings."

Tina at Tenth Street

by Tina Workman

In 1967, a free clinic was
started at the Twelfth Gate
Coffeehouse on Tenth Street. In
November, 1969, the clinic
moved to an old house on the
corner of Tenth and Juniper, and
with the addition of some other
programs, many helping hands
and good intentions, the
Community Center was
established to help specifically
the Tenth-Fourteenth Street
people with the kind of problems
they have and give many of them
a sort of meeting hall and just
plain - a place to go.

I, personally, had alot of faith
in the Center when it began. I
worked for public relations
before it even had a building and
was around when many things
happened. I still believe in the

Tina Workman:
'I had alot of faith in the Center.'

Community Center's programs.

There is an excellent free clinic
with special attention to VD,
pregnancy and birth control.
There is a competent counseling
service generally dealing with
runaways and their parents.
There is the Hip Job Corp, a
Crash List (list of people who
need a place to sleep-the Center is
working one Youth Hostel) and
24-hour help available to anyone
who should panic while tripping.
They function efficiently with
success and have been able to
survive with little or no money.

What I have learned is
something that more and more
people on the ground floor of the
Center have found out-you can't
organize hippies. They are full of
great ideas about how far out it
would be to do this or that, and
they much approve of the Center
as being a place you can go to for
help and get it without
unnecessary questions, but when
it comes to something
constructive like sweeping or
taking out the garbage, everyone
seems to be rather
occupied... ."Yeah, really nice
bass runs..." or"He got busted
not too long ago..." or "Don t
mind her. She's just being Pisces'
\ Naturally I must clarify in
writing that not ALL hippies are
'like that, but it seems as if many
of them are. And it also seems
that many are just sad

its two moods. Since "Medea" is
strictly programmatic music, it is
necessary to emphasize a perfect
balance between the contrasting
tensions of the music. Mr. Shaw
led the orchestra to its peak in
the opening strains of the love
theme, and then proceeded to
develop the forcefulness of the
"Dance" section by using the
strength of the brass instruments.

The other programmatic
selection was Debussy's "Iberia "
ueDussy is often called a
composer who paints with
feelings and mood, and the
orchestra brought these emotions
to the foreground. "Iberia" is the
second of three works which
depict the moods and
atmospheres of different

attempt at Spanish music, but it
clearly transmits the Spanish

Mortar Board was formed in

1916 under the original name of

Honor Organization of Agnes

Scott College. According to the

first constitution the organization

was to be an effort to stimulate

college activities, to further the

development of the college by

supporting significant

movements, and to serve as a

clearing house for student and

social activities.

Because of changes in the needs

of the student body and campus

community the organization

restated its purpose and

membership requirements in

1927. The revised purpose tried

to bring together those students

who seemed to have "the truest

devotion to, and the highest

conception of, the purposes of

Agnes Scott.

World Campus Afloat
is a college that does more
than broaden horizons.

It sails to them and beyond.

Again in the 1970-71 academic year, the
accredited World Campus Afloat program of
Chapman College and its associated Colleges
and Universities will take qualified students,
faculty and staff into the world laboratory.

Chapman College currently is accepting
applications for both the fall and spring semesters.
Preliminary applications also may be made for
all future semesters.

Fall semesters depart New York aboard the
s.s. Ryndam for port stops in the Mediterranean
and Latin America, ending in Los Angeles. Spring
semesters circle the world from Los Angeles, stop-
ping in Asia and Africa and ending at New York.

Sabbaticals

As the accompanying chart
shows, a lot of girls leave Scott.
The junior and senior classes are
approximately one third of their
original size as entering freshmen.

We have all known people who
talk about transferring and then
end up at Scott each year. This
has led us to believe that a lot of
the saying "everybody leaves
Scott" is just a myth. We
expected to find that not as
many people leave Scott as many
of us seem to think. However,
this suspiscon was not confirmed.
A lot of girls do leave Scott.

In order to gain a perspective
concerning the number leaving
we should compare our figures
with those of other small
women's colleges. This would
help us see whether or not our
rates are high, average, or low in
comparison. We were not
however, able to do this so the
figures should be viewed with this
in mind.

In attempting to understand
why girls leave Scott a number of
freshmen and sophomores were
interviewed. Most of the girls are
leaving because of their
disappointment in Scott's
academic program. Social
regulations and marriage plans
were other reasons given.

Some girls are leaving because
Scott does not offer a major in
the field. For example, fashion

by Ginger Rollins

For two quarters during the
1970-71 session, the Agnes Scott
faculty will be minus two
members. Geraldine Meroney,
associate professor in history, will
be gone spring quarter and
Professor Chang of the Bible and
religion department will be on
leave fall quarter.

"I am not going to the ends of
the world, in fact, I'm not even
sure that I will travel at all,
"stated Meroney when asked
about the plans she had for her
sabbatical.

Recently Meroney has
published in the William and
Mary Quarterly an article on the
trustees in the colony of Georgia
Miss Meroney became so
interested in the trustees that she
began to gather information on
them. Now she is preparing a
book on the Trustees of Georgia.
It is interesting to note that the
only other person to ever write
on this subject was the former
president of Agnes Scott, Dr.
McCain, who did his dissertation
on this topic.

Meroney's interest in the
loyalists has deepened after
having been asked to write the

design, library science,
anthropology, marine science,
and oceanography.

Other girls were not satisfied
with their major departments.
According to one student:

"The main reason for my
decision to transfer was because
the art department at Agnes
Scott is a big disappointment to
anyone interested in art as a
profession rather than as just part
of a liberal arts education. I want
a liberal arts education but I want
to learn on my own and at my
own leisure. All the upper level
courses in painting are taught by
the same teacher which to me is
disastrous because even after a
few months you can catch
yourself following the 'teacher's
style rather than developing your
own. ...Also I can not get
certified as an art education
teacher..."

One freshman who has a B
average said that the academic
program at Scott was too rigid
and hard for her although she
would do the work. She
continued to say that all year her
tests fell at the same time so that
it was not unusual at all to have
four tests and a paper due in
three days. She felt that this
prevented many girls from doing
as well as they could do.

This freshman said she has also
come to the conclusion that an
all girls school was not good. She

did not think it was natural not
to have boys in class and not to
have the male point of view,
especially since all her teachers
are women. She said that she
misses not having boys as
friends-not just as dates.

This freshman went on to say
that she didn't hate Scott and
that with a few changes it could
be a fine college. "I would hate
to see it turned into a coed
school and junior college or
closed down just because some
changes needed were not made
and I think this is the direction
the school is headed towards if all
the people who are
contemplating transferring
actually do.

Another girl emphasized that it
was the student body that gave
her the most gripes-their attitude
about rules. She disliked being
bogged down in trivialities.

She also felt that there was
bigotry in the school. "As a
Southern, institution for women,
Agnes Scott should definitely be
doing something for the Southern
black woman. Here we are a
women's college in Atlanta with
two or three black women among
800. Tokenism is not my idea of
integration."

Another girl said that she was
leaving because the atmosphere at
Scott produced a stereotyped
person. Either you became a
Scottie or stood alone not fitting
in.

introductory essay to a new
Harper and Rowe edition on
Alexander Hewat which will
appear this fall.

She hopes to finish the book
on the Trustees of the Georgia
colony and then do something on i
the loyalists of South Carolina.

On this purely academic
endeavor, Meroney will be
writing mostly at her desk here in
Decatur. She may travel to New
York to use the public library
there and if absolutely necessary
will take a trip to England to use
the British Public Records. When
asked how this research work will
affect her teaching here, Meroney
stated: "I'm not exactly sure yet
how I am going to tie a study of
the American loyalists in with my
course on medieval civilization!"

Dr. Chang, on the other hand,
will be traveling to Cambridge,
Massachusetts, to do some study
at Harvard in religion and
theology. He will be what is
called a visiting scholar at the
Harvard School of Divinity.
There he will learn how and what
they teach in their courses in I
religion. His family will travel
with him for the fall quarter.

Student's choice

Agnes Scott like everything else has problems. I think it
is time for students-not committees-to consider where the
problem lies.

My feeling is that a college, a friendship, anything is what
you make it. It is amazing how different Agnes Scott is
from other campuses. It is quite easy to say, "Agnes Scott
is a dull campus. The girls here don't care ab out Cambodia
or Blacks, all they do is play bridge and lie in the sun."

I am convinced that some girls here are more "with it"
but get bogged in studies or become overwhelmed with the
endless trivialities. It is hard to come from the
newspaper-war, poverty ,-to the absurd bickering over what
time to come in at night. This becomes so ridiculous that a
student is forced to be apathetic about Agnes Scott.

It is hard for many of us not to be apathetic towards
Agnes Scott, but we have seen that changes can take place
if we are willing to make what we want known. The
channels may be slow and trivial but in the end it is our-the
students' fault. Many of the apathetic students are the
ones who formerly had a lot to say but gave up.

A college is what you make it. If the girls who feel there
is atmosphere at Scott which produces a stereotyped
person or if we are bigoted and nobody seems to care it is
only because we let it be that way and we have let the
bridge palyers win.

Opinion

Throughout the year I have
listened to and participated in
discussions concerning Agnes
Scott in such vast numbers and at
such frequent intervals that they
at times seem ceaseless. And
because most of the remarks
made both privately and publicly
have been rather caustic and in
some cases altogether damning, I
feel compelled to answer with
some positive comments about
Agnes Scott.

As a Freshman, I came here in
September with many
preconceived ideas about college
in general, all of which were
wrong, and with no idea at all
about the nature of my college in
particular. I feel now that many
of us could not have avoided
disappointment here to some
degree, merely because all our
lives we have been conditioned to
the thought that we were
directing ourselves toward one
goal: college entrance.

Certainly our academics were
directed toward higher education;
but in making college an almost
ultimate goal, an end rather than
a means toward an end, many of
us were left with a sense of
anticlimax. But this has nothing
to do with Agnes Scott, rather
with something we brought with
us to Scott.

Further, I believe that the term
"Liberal Arts College" is thrown
around with little understanding
of that which liberal arts implies.
A faculty member recently
pointed out that from its
inception in the Middle Ages,
the liberal arts college has been
dedicated to the pursuit of
knowledge for itself alone. And
though this might contradict the
idea that college is not an end
unto itself, the liberal arts
education only serves to
introduce to the student a
kaleidoscope of study- it becomes

the student's responsibility to
take this knowledge and fashion
something valid from it.

The most prevalent criticism of
the college has been concerned
with its "atmosphere," with its
"sense of suffocation." True,
there are many, too many, rigid
social rules and academic
requirements. But these have
changed during the past year and
are still in the process of radical
improvement.

Agnes Scott does not offer the
student a B.A. in happiness or
fulfillment or peace. It cannot. It
does offer a serious intellectual
the finest of educations and it
does offer the social butterfly a
crack at Georgia Tech's
Homecoming Court. And it offers
the "average" student such as
myself the opportunity to grow
freely within the system, have
fun and acquire knowledge to the
brain's saturation point.

And if, to some, the idea of
knowledge for itself alone seems
highflown, Agnes Scott offers
opportunity for success outside
the ivy walls. It offers these
things impersonally and without
strings to the person who is
willing to invest something of
herself in the school. And I
think I would be something of a
fool not tto take advantage of
this.

Agnes Scott is not amenable to
everyone but then, what is?
There are many valid reasons for
transferring; I have found more
for remaining. And the fact that
we are so vocal in our criticisms is
itself proof that the college is not
dead or decaying. It is still very
alive and dynamic and ready for
improvement. So we can scream
and kick and transfer all we want;
but in the final analysis it would
be a good idea to have the right
reasons for screaming, kicking
and leaving.

Write

Hanoi"
campaign

A national outpouring of
letters to North Vietnam
protesting treatment of U.S.
prisoners of war is being sought
by the American National Red
Cross in a new "Write Hanoi"
campaign, similar to the "Send a
Christmas Card to an Enemy"
campaign held by Red Cross
during the Holiday season last
year, said John C. Ager,
Chairman of the Metropolitan
Atlanta Red Cross Chapter.

"As part of the all-out effort to
obtain more humane treatment
for prisoners, the Red Cross is
urging all Americans to write to
the President of North Vietnam
expressing grave concern over
that government's failure to
honor its commitment as a
signatory to the Geneva POW
Convention." said Ager.

The North Vietnamese
government signed the 1949
Geneva Convention which
provides for free access to
prisoners and their places of
detention by such a neutral
intermediary as the all-Swiss
International Committee of the
Red Cross (ICRC), but they have
not allowed inspection of
detention i camps. They have also
failed to live up to other
provisions of the agreement such
as identifying all prisoners,
repatriating the sick or wounded
men, permitting them to
communicate with their families
and giving them protection from
abuse or reprisals.

U.S. and South Vietnam
military forces continue to give
North Vietnam and Viet Cong
prisoners the benefit of the
Geneva POW Convention. South
Vietnam is now holding
approximately 33,000 enemy
prisoners of war, of whom some
6,500 are North Vietnamese.
They are being detained in six
prisoner of war camps and
delegates of the ICRC visit the
prisoners regularly.

Hanoi has appeared
to be easing its stand somewhat,
identifying prisoners a few at a
time and allowing the families of
identified prisoners to send
six-pound food parcels to them
every other month. Although
these moves are considered
promising, they still fall far short
of the Convention provisions.

Salicco-"Right On"

Mrs. Betty Salicco finds great opportunity for creativity through
electronic music.

Scandrett on
Isle of Man

Miss Carrie Scandrett is abroad
on the Isle of Man in England.
After retiring last summer from
her 44 years at Agnes Scott as
Dean of Students, Miss Scandrett
went to England to spend a year
with her sister, Mrs. John K.
Hardy.

While on the Isle of Man Miss
Scandrett has been relaxing,
gardening, and traveling. Her
sister's home has a lovely garden
full of flowers and vegetables.
According to Nancy P.
Groseclose, assistant profesor of
biology, who has visited with the
Hardys on the Isle of Man, they
grow all of their own vegetables,
serve "marvellous" food, and eat
every nice day out beside the sea.

Miss Groseclose describes the
house and garden where Miss
Scandrett is staying as typically
English and delightful. In the
kitchen Mrs. Hardy has a unique
stove that a friend invented

especially for her because he was
concerned about the amout of
time women spent every morning
relighting the stoves.

During her stay on that far side
of the Atlantic, Miss Scandrett
has made several trips around
England. Recently she spent a
week in Edinburgh, then one in
London. Flying to Paris from
London, Miss Scandrett joined
Miss Mary Virginia Allen,
professor of French on leave this
year, for a few days in Paris, Palm
Sunday in Chartres, and the trip
down the Rhine from Strasbourg
to Amsterdam.

Miss Scandrett is also planning
a trip to Norway with her sister,
the former Ruth Scandrett, class
of '22. Their trip is to last two
weeks, beginning May 15.

Miss Scandrett's plans to return
to the U.S., are not yet definite.
She has made inquiries about
passages home, but has
mentioned no date.

"Never leave an open mike on that
and a tape machine running when
you become distracted. I did-two
of my fellow composers came
into the room, and we had a real
go-around about the head of the
department. The head later came
in, and, while reversing the tape,
decided it sounded so interesting
:hat he would play it forwards.
Ve were called into his office for
i conference the next

Jay-fortunately, he had a sense
of humor."

So reminisced Mrs. Betty
Salicco, visiting assistant
professor of music, about some
of the more unforgettable
moments in the electronic music
lab at North Texas State
University. Salicco said that the
lab became known as the Mad
Lab, due to its reputation for
pulling passers-by out of the hall
to play guinea pig, and also for
the profanity that tempermental
electronic equipment tended to
prompt.

What's electronic music all
about? Mrs. Salicco explained

the French school
electronic music is music which is
taped by a tape machine. It
consists of ordinary sounds (a
board dropping on the floor, a
drip of water, a birdcall, a light
switch, a glass breaking).

These sounds are then taken
and distorted through various
techniques, such as playing them
backwards at different speeds,
forwards at different speeds, or
splicing and fragmenting them.
The German school of electronic
music includes music involved
with other equipment besides the
tape recorder such as the moog
synthesizer .
Mrs. Salicco said that now,

most people are writing
electronic music with a mixture
of both the tape sound and that
formed from distortion on the
moog synthesizer.

She cited a number of the
sources she has used for sounds in
her electronic music
productions a comb, a can,
somebody drinking water in
gulps, an automobile horn, the

raising and lowering of a Venetian
blind, a child's dragging a musical
toy across the floor, and a
of typewriter. "Almost anything,"
Mrs. Salicco added. Sometimes
the success of a composition is a
matter of luck.

Mrs. Salicco feels that one of
the most promising features of
electronic music is its ability to
be combined so readily with
other media, such as dance and
poetry. She finds that electronic
music is "the foremost field for
composers in music.lt has the
most possibility for creativity."
As composers, we are frustrated
with the limitation of
sounds.. .electronic music offers
"the best creative outlet we've
had in a hundred years."

The freedom in electronic
music Mrs. Salicco defines as a
great attraction. She states that
so far, no one has set down any
rules, partially because people are
deal ing with so many
components that it would be
hard to make any rules. But, Mrs.
Salicco adds, "there has to be the
essence of self-discipline that
prohibits you from creating noise
and calling it music."

Faculty -liberal, conservative?

WASHINGTON--(CPS)~Most
faculty members are liberals on
off campus issues, but
conservatives on matters that
relate to their own positions,
according to a study of 60,000
faculty members conducted by
the Carnegie Commission on
Higher Education.

The study, as reported by the
Chronicle of Higher Education,
shows that while a majority of
the faculty members favor either
immediate withdrawal or a
coalition government in Vietnam,
they take a very hard line when it
comes to student demonstrations.

Not only do they disapprove of
disrupters, with 76.1% agreeing
strongly or with reservations that
"students who disrupt the
functioning of a college campus
should be expelled or
suspended," but a new majority
(46.8%) agree strongly or with
reservations that "most campus
demonstrations are created by far
left groups trying to cause
trouble." Ronald Regan couldn't
have said it better.

How if works af Agnes Scoff

Next fall juniors and seniors
will again be given the
opportunity to elect courses on a
"pass or fail" basis. Yet to many
students the concept of this
seemingly black-or-white grading
system and of its effect on the
"college experience" remains
vague. Hopefully this study of
the pass- fail system will provide a
better understanding of what the
system is and what it can be.

The pass-fail program at Agnes
Scott originated in Committee on
Academic Problems (CAP) three
years ago. It was approved by the
f acu Ity as a two-year
experimental program, and this
year it became a part of the
permanent academic system.

Under the pass-fail plan, juniors
and seniors are allowed to elect a
maximum of ten hours in courses
outside of their majors. Also
excluded are courses needed to
satisfy the group requirements.

Present rules stipulate that a
student who chooses to take a
year-long course on a pass-fail
basis must complete all three
quarters on the pass-fail basis.

The Registrar's office does not
notify faculty of the students
who are participating in the
pass-fail program until almost the
end of the quarter. However,
faculty members may at any time
check in the Registrar's office if
they wish to find out which of
their students are taking the
course on a pass-fail basis.

Students on pass-fail receive
letter-grades on their work in the
same manner as other students in
the class. Not until the end of the
quarter is the earned grade
converted into a "P" or "F," and
this is done by the Registrar.

Once a student elects a course
as a "pass-fail," she cannot
convert her "pass" (if she earns
one) into a letter-grade.

Currently there are 61 Scott
students participating in the
pass-fail system. Most of them are
taking pass-fail courses which are
not closely related to their area
of specialization.

Advantages

In discussing the purpose of the
pass-fail program, Gary stated
that it encourages a student to
participate in upper-level courses
outside her major. These are the
courses which a student
otherwise might not elect because
of a fear of competing with the
majors.

Faculty members tend to agree
that pass-fail serves to enrich a
student's educational experience
without the pressure of a grade.
In the words of B. W. Ball,
assistant professor of English, it
helps students "get out of the
grade gutter."

Several professors went on to
explain that students would use
the system as an opportunity to
explore fields in which they have
an interest but little background
or preparation.

by Fran Ellington and Carole Kroc

The chance to develop
self-discipline and academic
freedom in the student's life is
another "feature" of the pass-fail
program. Many students and
teachers agree with the attitude
of a student who reported that,
"if a student will let it, pass-fail
allows one to evaluate oneself on
learning instead of by a grade. It
allows one to have a more mature
personal attitude toward the
material as a body of knowledge
instead of a job that has to be
done for a grade."

Other professors, concerned
about a possible over-emphasis on
grades, also feel that pass-fail
helps alleviate the "worrying over
grades." As Alice Cunningham,
assistant professor of Chemistry,
commented, they also would like
students to use the grades they
do receive "as a gauge, not as a
controlling factor."

Disadvant-
ages

Yet the pass-fail program also
has its disadvantages. One
consideration is that many
graduate schools and professional
organizations question the
significance of a "pass" or "fail"
grade. Some, like the Georgia
Department of Education, refuse
to give credit for courses taken
on such a program. A large
number of faculty members
interviewed felt that this problem
can and will be alleviated as
pass-fail becomes more
nationwide.

Professors also find that this
type of program works better in
small, seminar-type classes. This
stems from the idea that a
student on pass-fail still wants to
make discoveries in and
contributions to the class, even
though she will not be graded on
them. Often this is not possible in
large lecture courses.

However, the success or failure
of the pass-fail system depends
largely upon, as Gunther
Bicknese, Associate Professor of
German, commented, "the
question of student motivation."
Several professors expressed fears
that students would not feel
motivated enough to give their
pass-fail courses the same time
and effort that is given their
regular-credit courses.

One professor noted that
students taking her course on the
pass-fail program came to class
more unprepared, prepared their
papers with less care, "cut"
classes more often, and took a
less serious attitude toward the
course in general than the other
students. Even some students
admitted this is true. "I might
have worked harder," one
pass-fail student conceded, "but I
would have enjoyed it less."

Other professors and students,
however, believe that pass-fail
work is of equal quality with
"regular" work. The faculty

reports relatively few cases where
students have taken advantage of
the pass-fail system. In fact,
students often express a respect
for the privilege of pass-fail and
show a genuine interest and
enthusiasm for the course.

Suggestions

There was much response from
professors and students
concerning changes in Scott's
pass-fail system. One suggestion
for improvement advocated by
Huguette Chatagnier, Assistant
Professor of French, is the
screening of pass-fail applicants
by faculty advisors. This method
would prevent the program from
becoming so large and
encumbersome that it would be
detrimental to the academic level
of the college.

A majority of faculty and
students interviewed suggested
that the program be extended.
Ideas for extension ranged from
increasing the ten quarter-hours
limitation on pass-fail work by
two or more quarter-hours to
making pass-fail courses available
to underclassmen. Included were
allowing one or two required
courses to be recorded as pass or
fail and permitting the election of
some "major courses" on the
pass-fail basis.

The possibility of expanding
the program to a schedule of
nothing except pass-fail courses
for fall-quarter freshmen, as at
some other colleges, or for all
freshman and sophomores, was
also discussed. Opinions on such
a plan varied from agreement that
it would help make college more
enjoyable for new students to
one professor's comment, "They
(the Scott students) would be
Georgia-Teching it all the time."

A final suggestion urged that
instead of expanding and
complicating the pass-fail system,
the auditing of courses should be
studied and used more often.

William Frierson, professor of
chemistry and a member of CAP
(Committee on Academic
Problems), stressed that CAP is
reviewing and restudying the
pass-fail system regularly. He
feels that on the basis of reports
CAP has received the system "has
worked nicely," and if changes
are necessary, they will be made
gradually.

Yet for both faculty and
students the main issue of the
pass-fail program remains the
motivation of the individual
student. If the student uses the
pass-fail privilege to escape from
work, then the program will not
only serve as a detrimental factor
on the college as a whole, but it
will also deprive the student of
her chance to widen her
intellectual experience. But if
used effectively and responsibly,
the pass-fail I program can do
much to give the student
experience and education
without pressure.

Experiment at Utah-
worry about grades

or about learning

Salt Lake City, Utah-(I.P.)-The
argument that students will learn
more with better retention when
pressures for grades are removed
was tested in a University of Utah
classroom last spring quarter. But
to the disappointment of the
instructor, and to the frustration
of his progressive undergraduates,
the theory was proved false.

In an introductory philosophy
course, taught by Dr. Charles H.
Monson, Jr., professor of
philosophy and associate vice
president of academic affairs, 322
students asked permission to take
the class without 'assignments,
quizzes, tests and all that other
drivel/

They were vehement in their
denunication of a system which
required them to learn what the
teacher chose and graded them
on their ability to 'regurgitate/

Dr. Monson was intrigued by
the idea of an experiment in
self-motivated learning, but the
question of grading remained.
Some students suggested that he
give the entire class an 'A,' but
others protested that to do so
would encourage everyone to
slack off. A few argued that this
approach would be unfair to the
better students.

For about three days, Dr.
Monson was visited, called,
buttonholed, praised for his
willingness to be innovative and
denounced for changing the
ground rules.

Subsequently, he decided to
give every member of the class
the same option. A student could
be excused from all reading
assignments, quizzes and tests,
and for a f inal grade he would be
given the grade which represented
the professor's evaluation of the
class as a whole.

"I asked only that they help
me determine the educational
value of the experiment by
supplying an initial statement
regarding their reasons for
participating and a weekly diary
outlining the success and failures
of the program," Dr. Monson
says.

The 111 students who elected
to participate in the experiment
in self-motivated learning were
told they would be seated
together so that Professor
Monson could determine whether
the quality of their discussion
differed from that of the
non-experimental group, and that
they would not be allowed to

take tests or receive any feedback
on their progress or
achievements.

Although there were no major
differences in absences and in the
quality of discussion in the two
groups, Dr. Monson says his
periodic evaluations indicate that
the experimental students did not
learn as ,much during the class
and did not retain as much after
class as those in the
non-experimental section.

Though unsuccessful, the
experiment yielded some useful
information about the students'
attitude toward their new
learning environment and the
educational experience itself.
After the quarter had ended, Dr.
Monson read through the weekly
diaries to evaluate student
expectations, to learn whether
they kept up with their reading
assignments and to measure their
' anxiety' and 'euphoric' levels.

"Anxiety was identified by
such phrases as "I find it difficult
to adjust to the new system," and
"I wonder what grade we'll get;"
and euphoria was measured by
such comments as "I really like
learning this way," and "it seems
so good not to be cramming."

Expansion of pass-fail option

Lancaster, Pa.-(I.P.)pThe
subcommittee of the Curriculum
Committee at Franklin and
Marshall College has made
recommendations concerning the
expansion of the pass/no pass
rption.

Trie subcommittee
recommended that the option be
continued, that the number of
courses available to the student
under this option be increased
from 4 to 8, that a student may,
if he has permission from the
department chairman, take a
course that may count towards a
major with the exception of
those specifically listed as
required on such a basis, the
student may elect to take a
course pass/no pass up to 35 days
before the last day of classes of
the semester, and specific courses
that are offered only as pass-no
pass must be approved as such by
the Curriculum Committee.

The justification for increasing
the number from four to eight
was that there are 15 courses left
to a student for "general or
liberal education" after he has
fulfilled the department and
related requirements of his major.

The subcommittee did not feel
that it would be unreasonable for
one-half of these to be under the
pass/no pass option.

The subcommittee found that
it was necessary to extend the
length of time allowed to make a
decision whether to take a course
under the pass/no pass option.
They found that the present
system, which requires a student
to choose which course will be
graded in that manner prior to
the first day of classes,
unsatisfactory because it does not
permit the student to make an
informed choice on which area of
study can most effectively be
approached on such a basis.

It was the decision of the
subcommittee that the decision
to take a course pass/no pass
should occur at the time when
the student had experienced his
ability as to how he could cope
with the work.

The deadline should not,
however, be so close to the final
exam period as to influence the
decision by having it made under
duress of deciding which courses
would likely be his highest
grades.

Also reporting to the College
Senate, the Committee on
Registra- tion Procedures and
Course Enrollments stated that in
dealing with faculty loads it
"determined these primarily on a
departmental basis," and used
criteria to assess loads:

the average student course
registrations per full time faculty
member, average student contact
hours per faculty member, and
the average faculty load.

In attempting to determine the
course load of a faculty member,
the group proposed a formula
consisting of the number of
courses taught, number of
sections taught, number of
students taught, lab sections (if
any), and number of research
projects directed.

The Committee recommends
that the formula be implemented
"when questions of staff changes
arise," and that data compiled in
this manner be analyzed by the
Dean's Office with a view to
alleviating future inequities in
teaching load.

The English Department will be
presenting four films on May 1 1
and 12: "Yates Country," James
Joyce's "Dubliners," (directed
towards sophomores), "Ezra
Pound," and "An Interview with
Richard Wilbur" (directed
towards freshmen). In order that
the students can come and see
one, two or even all four films
and yet not have to stay the
entire hour and a half on one
day, the order of showing will
differ on each day. ON May 1 1 it
will be: Joyce, Yates, POund and
Wilbur, and on May 12: Pound,
Wilbur, Joyce and Yates. All are
invited to the showings in Dana

tickets will be sold to help raise
money for the club.

The opera will be presented in
McClean. As Dona Drake stated:
'"The Old Maid and the Thief is
really funny. You need to hear it
all and get involved in it. That is
why we chose the smaller
auditorium." The opera will be
presented two nights.

Freshmen lose

Scottie Speaks

To get into the full swing of
things as Sports Editor, I decided
(or rather the need for another
freshman player decided for me)
that I would participate in the
May 1 volleyball game between
the Freshmen and the
Sophomores. Of course the games
were "close" with the scores 15-8
and 15-1 in favor of the
Sophomores.

The Freshman team consisting
of myself, Edith Waller, Becky
Frankland, Pat Powell, Caron
Collins, and V.A. Estes exhibited
great team effort in hoping to
beat the Sophomores.

We were, however, playing a
team whose members were Leigh
Ann Peterson, Nancy Thomas,
Lucinda Martin, Beatie Divine,
Susan Stimson, Kathy Sloan,
Susan Mees, and Susie Miller.
With a sophomore team really
had a tough time.

The serves all managed to make
it over the net except for Leigh
Ann's few tricky attempts. Edith
Waller and Kathy Sloan exhibited
extreme prowess in literally
"socking it to" the poor ball with
their fists.

Susan Mees, upholding the rule
of covered curlers in public, had a
difficult time playing and pulling
her scarf back on over her rollers.
But the Miss Uncoordination
Prize would have to be awarded
to this reporter who will retire
hence forth to reporting from the
sidelines only.

All in all, it was an eventful

two-game series with both teams
showing spirit and good
sportsmanship.

myself. But looking toward
the future with the growing
awareness of population

financial support, I think that

Lyn Deen '73: "I'm limiting the

personal preference. I won't

Scott girls
make TV

by Priscilla Offen
Three Seniors here at Scott,
Bonnie Brown, Janet Levy, and
Norma Shaheen, participated
recently in a film produced for
Educational T.V. All three girls
are political science majors who
last quarter worked in the
legislative internship program.
The film was made in order to
pass knowledge about the
program on to the general public.

Fifteen students from five
different schools were involved in
the internship program. The
students worked in the Georgia
House of Representatives. A large
part of their work involved doing
research for the various
committees of that body.

The film goes through the
procedure for a bill to be passed
and the interns' part in this
process. The interns were able to
help the legislature just as the
legislature helped the interns.

Bonnie admitted that the
hardest part about making the
film was the acting. The students
had to pretend at the beginning
to meet each other for the first
time again. Or else they would
have to ask questions to which
they already knew the answer.
Also one of the students could
get tickled right in the middle of
the filming. They may not get
any Academy Awards, but it is
certain that the film will be
interesting.

The film is a documentary and
lasts about 30 minutes. It will be
shown on three different
occasions. These are- May 7,
7:00 p.m. on Channel 8; May 10,
2:00 p.m. on Channel 8; May 14,
10:00 p.m. on Channel 30.

66 Anne of the
Thousand Days"

by Dianne Gerstle

Looking for something to liven
up your day? Reach for the
nearest newspaper and go
through the x-rated movie ads for
a real charge.

You won't have to look very
hard to decide which are the skin
flick ads and which aren't. For
example, assertions such as: X.
No One Under 18
Admitted!. ..5th Hit Week! An
Adult Education In All Forms of
Love!...X-Rated. Adults Only!
Have you seen it?. ..For Mature
Cinemadults...The Best of Adult
Films.. .all tend to imply that the
viewer might be in for something
other than ''Darby O'Gill and the
Little People."

Or if the X-rating hasn't been
sufficiently smeared across the
ad, surely the title will catch your
eye. Among the more choice are:
"Teenie Tulip" (The "u" is in the
shape of a tulip, but since a
comparable key can't be found
on the writer's Smith-Corona,
you'll just have to use your
imagination). "Watch the Birdie
Die," Taunt Me, Kiss Me,"

"Anne of the Thousand Days"
is one of the outstanding movies
to see this year, even if you're
not an English history buff. The
excellence of the screen play, the
superb acting, and the beauty of
the filming with emphasis on
setting and costuming combine to
produce a movie that will appeal
in some way to nearly everyone.

The story is the fairly familiar
one of Anne Boleyn and Henry
VIII of England. Anne is played
by the French actress Genevieve
Bujold, whom you may have seen
in the Hallmark Hall of Fame
television production of Shaw's
Saint Joan" a few years ago.
Miss Bujold plays the part with
special attention to the various
stages in Anne's relationship with
Henry. At the beginning, she is a
headstrong girl who, since she is
very much in love with her
betrothed, refuses to submit to
the will of even the king of
England and become his mistress.

The scenes between Anne and
young Percy, her betrothed, are
reminiscent of some of the love
scenes of "Romeo and Juliet"
impetuous young love tinged
with a serious realization of
reality.

From a headstrong girl, Anne
changes to a willful woman
conscious of her power due to
her relationship with the king.
This side of her character is
probably the most believable.
However the other facets of
it her love for Henry, her proud
dignity, and her admirable
courage before her death are
also well done.

Richard Burton does an
excellent job in the role of Henry
VIII. One review said that his
interpretation of Henry was the
most human one yet, making

even the lustful and unscrupulous
king seem to have a capacity for
love.

His single-mindedness in
accomplishing his goals is clearly
shown, and one becomes aware
of how a seemingly
inconsequential thing such as a
king's desire for one of his
subjects could have led to such
far-reaching repercussions as
England's break with the Catholic
Church. Henry is portrayed as
having a tragic flaw in his
character once he can possess a
thing and not have to fight for it,
it becomes undesirable to him.
This flaw will lead to the
tragedies in his life.

Although the movie basically
portrays the story of Anne and
Henry, making these two actors
the most important ones, there
are also many other characters
who play significant supporting
roles. These include Cardinal
Wolsey; Cromwell, Henry's
lawyer; Norfolk, Anne's uncle;
and Catherine, Henry's first
wife These parts are notable for
their excellent portrayals.

One criticism of the film may
be from an historical point of
view. However, a good effort was
made to inform the average
viewer of the historical
background.

The last scene is a fitting
conclusion to the story of Anne
Boleyn and Henry VIII of
England. It shows a young
red-haired child who has just
heard cannons signaling the end
of her mother's life. Her mother
was Anne Boleyn and the child
will become Elizabeth I of
England.

"Without a Stitch," Torture Me,
Kiss Me" (could be the sequence
to "Taunt Me, Kiss Me"), "Let's

"Sappho Darling," and "K.O.

But, above all, be sure not to
miss the little extras thrown in to
describe the plots. "She's Better

THE OUTSIDE WORLD

N.Y. Rock Festival

NEW YORK--(CPS)--Plansfora
three-day summer rock festival
on an upstate New York farm
June 26-28 were announced here
at a press conference that
reflected the skepticism
accompanying such ventures
these days. Straight reporters
from the established media
seemed concerned about such
issues as crowd control and drug
abuse, while freaks from the
underground press worried that
another rock ripoff was
underway.

The promoters and their
publicist tried to allay the fears
on both sides, but came off
sounding terribly naive about the
whole festival scene despite
assurances that everything would
be cool.

The scheduled dates are June
26, 27, and 28, with the grounds
opening on the 24th for early
arrivers who want to camp out.
Camping, parking, and admission
to the daily 12-hour shows cost
$20. Tickets will be limited to
advance sales of 100,000, and
seem uncertain about what to do
if they are deluged. Their
architect says the facilities will be
built to accomodate as many as
400,000 if necessary.

The promoters say they expect
people to buy tickets and not
expect a freebie. Filippo publicist
Chester Fox was quick to assure
reporters that security forces
would be present only to help
people, not police the crowd.

The Harrisburg Town Board
has passed a resolution approving

the festivals, providing they are
"p r 0P er and lawful." Filippo
explained the board gave its
"wholehearted support" because
it hopes to develop the
"depressed" ski area. The town is
about a five-hour drive from New
YorkCCity, up the throughway
via Routes 12 and 177.

Present at the press conference
was a representative of the Youth
International Party who said it
would make demands of the
promoters, including a voice in
picking talent and in allocating a
portion of profits to movement
groups. If the demands are not
met, he said YIP would call for a
counter "Festival of Thieves" on
the periphery of the regular
event. Filippo said he would deal
with the demands when they
were formally presented. He did
announce that there were already
plans to donate some of the
profits to the Chicago Seven and
Panther 14.

Filippo has assembled a group
that includes specialists in design,
construction, health, film, charter
travel, and related necessities.
Manny Fox will be creative
director. Dr. William Abruzzi, the
medical supervisor at Woodstock,
will coordinate a health team.

Lang and Scaltro have been
busy lining up talent, but have
announced no definite
committments. Scaltro said
Monday that Led Zepplin and
Ten Years After will probably be
headliners, as they are available.
He also mentioned the Band, Joe
Cocker and Janis Joplin.

Ever hear of a
career

A new profession, deeply satisfying to your desire
to help build a better world.

In which you would literally lead children into
happy, useful lives which they never dreamed
could exist for them.

A fast-expanding field in which the need is
four times the number now engaged insuring
life-time professional security and
better-than-most incomes.

If you want a career with all this and more, look
into the fascinating field of Special Education-
using new techniques and new teaching machines,
some yet unknown to college students, to
overcome the learning handicaps caused
by the physical, mental or emotional problems
of more than five million children.

RESULTS OF SCRAP

FINALLY. The SCRAP
decisions have been passed and
will be in effect next fall! Having
gone through Rep once, the
Administrative Committee, and
the Trustees, the proposals were
given the unanimous vote of
approval by Rep Council on
T u e sd a y - - a ssu r i n g their
publication for next year's
handbook.

Administrative Committee did
alter somewhat the proposals sent
to them by Rep.

However, they passed a set of
policies on to the Trustees which
are much like the original SCRAP
proposals.

The most outstanding changes
are in the Sign-Out Policy. Next
year, dorm closing time on week
days will be 12:00 midnight, and
on Friday and Saturday nights it
will be 2:00 a.m. Although all
students are encouraged to sign
out at all times (for their own
safety), only fall and winter
quarter freshmen must sign out
and return to campus by dorm
closing hours. Upperclassmen and
spring quarter freshmen must sign
out only if they will be remaining
off campus after dorm closing
hours.

Entrance to the dorms after
dorm closing hours will be gained

through use of a key, which the
student will pick up at a
designated area and deposit in a
box inside the door of the dorm.
What this, basically, means is that
upperclassmen may come in at
whatever time they choose
and/or that we will have no
hours! (You may all shut your
mouths, now.)

With regards to the Smoking
Policy, we will be permitted to
smoke, next year, in the dorms,
in the upper dining hall, and in
certain areas of Buttrick, those
areas being the ground floor
(where the bookstore and the
mail room are), the Faculty

Conference Room., and faculty
and staff offices upon invitation.

Alcohol on campus remains to
be forbidden. Students are
prohibited from the possession or
the use of alcoholic beverages on
campus or at ASC functions.
Each student is responsible for
seeing that her guests also comply
with the regulations that apply to
them: visitors are prohibited
from the use of alcohol on
campus and possession in college
buildings. It is expected that each
student will maintain a high
standard of conduct, and on her
return to campus, she should
demonstrate her ability to act

responsibly and not to disrupt
the academic community in any
way.

As to be expected, the
possession and use of illegal drugs
on campus is also prohibited. The
policy is retroactive, and any
student known to have used
illegal drugs on campus will be
subject to probation or

suspension, the terms of which
will be set by Honor Court.
The decision to suspend or
expel a student will be
reviewed by Administrative
Committee, who may contact
civil authorities.

"A Midsummer Night's
Dream"- well done

by JUDY MILNER

1 he Blackfriars' spring
production, "A Midsummer
Night's Dream," _ was an
extremely lively and skillfully
presented performance. Generally
speaking, the actors had a good
understanding of their lines. They
seemed to identify completely
with the characters they played.

The scenery was sparse in
parts, but extremely imaginative
and effective.

Thesseus, the Duke of Athens,
played by Maurice Hunt, came
over as a fatherly, good-natured
and somewhat comic character.
The audience warmed to him as
the play progressed. Although he
seemed rather tense in the
opening scene, his part seemed to
come naturally to him when he
appeared again several scenes
later.

Hippolyta, the Queen of the
Amazons, played by Elizabeth
Jones, maintained her regal and
austere air throughout the play.
Midsummer Night's Dream" provided three
entertainment on the Agnes Scott campus.

Egeus, played by John
Tumblin, was especially good in
expressing his anger toward his
daughter, Hermia, in the first
scene, but when he was seen
again later his role of the angry
domineering parent did not come
across so well as it had
previously.

Hermia, the sweet-natured,
gentle lover of Lysander, played
by Hope Grayson, exhibited
quite an altered disposition when
Lysander's pleas of affection
began . to go in Helena's direction.
She displayed her talent
remarkably well in the scene
where her wrath broke forth
upon Helena.

Demetrius, the awkward doting
admirer of Hermia, played by Bill
Britton, compliments the
character of Helena, played by
Carol Ann McKenzie, who was
woefully enamoured of him.

There must necessarily
have been a contrast between
nights of excellent

Lysander and Demetrius in order
to enable the audience to see why
Hermia preferred Lysander to
Demetrius, but at times the
contrast was so great between the
two that the audience found it
difficult to have any admiration
or even sympathy for Demetrius.

Carol Ann was very adept in
evoking simultaneously the
conflicting emotions of mirth and
sympathy . Bottom, played
by Mollie Pollit was particularly
humorous, although her voice
was somewhat muffled by the
ass's head . Flute, played by
Paula Swann, in her imitation of
Thisbe, and Snout, played by
Betheda Fries, in her imitation of
the wall, were also tremendously
laughter provoking. The
craftsmen-players' performance
presented before the duke was
one of the funniest scenes in the
entire play. The acting in this
scene displayed a tremendous
amount of originality and
exuberance.

Puck, played by Mimi Corson,
was another highlight of the play.
Puck was truely "a merry
wanderer of the night." Mimi's
characteristic mannerisms, her
agility of movement, and the
poise she assumed did as much to
contribute to the character of
Puck as did her speech.

Titania, the Queen of the
Fairies, played by Patricia
Johnston, was much more
sophisticated and reserved than
Oberon,. Thc dance of the

fairies at the end of the play was
very well done.

"A Midsummer Night's
Dream" was the kind of play that
sends its audience away with a
happy feeling. If you missed it,
you missed something
well worthwhile.

Profs to participate
in summer seminar

by GINGER ROLLINS

This summer will find Agnes
Scott well represented over this
old globe of ours, particularly in
India, as four of our professors
will be there. Doctors Campbell,
Thimester, Chang and Tumblin
will be making this trip in
conjunction with the United
States- India Women's College
Exchange Program .

Campbell and Chang will be
participating in a Faculty Study
Seminar on Contemporary India.
A total of eighteen faculty
members have been accepted
from the consortium of colleges
to take part in this event.

Other American women's
colleges that will be represented
at the seminar are: Bennett,
Cedar Crest, Elmira, Goucher,
Hood, Mary Washington, Queens,
Randolph-Macon, Sweet Brair,
Vassar and Western. There will be
six Indian Colleges in the seminar
also.

The purpose of this seminar is
two-fold: (1) To become

acquainted with current
economic, political and
sociological developments and
issues in the modernization of
India and (2) to update and add
to classroom and library material
on this subject.

On June 16 our professors will
depart from New York City for
Beirut, Lebanon. On June 20,
they will continue into Bombay,
India. From there they will go to
Bangalore, Trivandrum,
Hyderabad and New Delhi in
India. On the way home, the
group will come by way of
Moscow and London before
landing in Washington, D.C. on
August 21.

When asked how this seminar
might immediately affect Agnes
Scott, Dr. Chang answered: "It
will affect our classes here in that
we will have more up to date
material both in the class and the
library. Also there will be a
possibility for future expanding
of our Asian studies courses."

Peace...

In the midst of national tragedy it is hard to say anything
that makes sense. Whether it is right to react emotionally or
to delay our emotions until we become more rational or
reasonable is hard to determine. The incident at Kent State
is such that it is almost impossible to react reasonably.

!n light of the sudden presence of U.S. troops in
Cambodia and the resumation of bombing in North
Vietnam many citizens -students and otherwise -were taken
back with shock and horror. When we were just beginning
to feel that there might be an end to Vietnam this sudden
action seemed unreal. When our repeated plea for peace
seemed on its way it was thrown back in our face.

It is curious how our desire for peace arouses such
violence within us. Somehow our desire for outward peace
does not seem to be merged with our inner capabilities of
handling emotions contrary to peace. Perhaps we need to
learn to handle our feelings of aggression and hostility
before we can even think of peace and perhaps any system,
any form of government will fail until we have learned this.

However, some might bring the accusation that this is
denying our 'humanness' or our freedom to do our thing.
This is ridculous. There should be no question of our
freedom to 'express' our feeling of all emotions including
hostility and aggression. The question is when it goes
beyond the point of being able to handle feelings to the
point of actually carrying out feelings in a destructive
manner. Surely people for peace would desire to handle
their actions in a way capatible with peace.

Surely we-government and students-are all for peace. But
what has happened when those in power will not listen or
act on the peaceful actions of feeling or when the people
perceive that they will be listened to only with the
unpeaceful actions resulting from feeling?

Pause for Peace

by GINNY SIMMONS

Conjecture has it that were a
full-fledged revolution raging in
Decatur, we would all be
gathered together in the Quad
and watched, while the Agnes
Scott campus was entirely
sand-bagged in. Then classes,
meetings, and activities would
proceed as usual.

Agnes Scott students are
notoriously uninformed and/or
inactive. Often they feel that
there is nothing that they can do
to affect anything in the world,
but even if there were, Scott's
tendency is the remain
uninvolved.

In light of this truth Scott's
position in the nation wide Pause
for Peace campaign is
exceptional. As the Great
Speckled Bird's May 18 edition
announced; "Agnes Scott
students will searve as state-wide
coordinator's for a one-hour
work stoppage called nationally
for May 27."

The work stoppage is to affect
businesses, classes, clergy,
housewives. It is to allow a
univerasal time for "reflection"
about war-what it has done to us
as men and as a nation. The time
selected for the stoppage is the
hour between 2 and 3:00 pm,
Wednesday, May 27.

The Scott students working for
this movement, some 75 or 80
girls, are contacting colleges
throughout Georgia, businesses in
the Atlanta and Decatur Area,
community organizations. They
are also setting up a variety of
campus and community activities
for that hour of reflection.

The work-force among our
students has been enthusiastic.
Amazingly those helping have
come to work,; few have merely
looked on in curiosity.
Participation in the one-hour
pause should be even more
wide-spread.

Mobilization in which between
75 and 100,000 persons

More than 200 windows were

A good
start

At the request of the student
government, a Committee on
Community Affairs (CAA) has
been formed. This committee is
being organized in order to help
facilitate "outside" community
participation, interest and
knowledge among the members
of the student body.

The committee is to be
comprised of an Executive
Committee, to include thirteen
members, and also a committee
at large. The committee at large is
open to any student who requests
to be on it. Information will be
sent to these members and
meetings, will be held when
necessary.

As a whole, CAA hopes to
sponsor education programs on
campus about community
undertakings.

On May 2, a project to help
clean up the Scottdale
community was undertaken by
students from this campus. The
project was introduced on each
hall at hall meetings with a
general discussion of the
committee.

Eleven students participated in
the project. These were: Margaret
Clark, Brenda Dance, Beatie
Divine, Betheda Fries, Fran
Fulton, Leigh Ann Peterson, Pam
Rogers, Nancy Thomas, and Kate
Trimble.

The Agnes Scott group was
sponsored by the Emory C&S
Bank. Nine groups worked in
Scottdale, with each group
working over a two block area.
Gloves, shovels, rakes, etc., were
provided by the C&S Bank , and
the entire project was extremely
well organized.

On that same day, such
projects were being sponsored all
over the city and throughout the
state as well. It has been
estimated that the C&S banks
spent approximately $10 million
on this undertaking.

Each group that participated
recieved $300 from C&S. The
girls that participated from Scott
decided to send their money to
the OEA Community Center in
the Scottdale community. It may
be possible through Social
Security title 4A, for the federal
government to quadruple this
amount making the total $1200.
There are no precedents for an
association such as CAA. It is a
new concept for this campus and
can so in many directions. Anyone
interested in becoming a member
of the committee, please contact

Exhibit in Dana

by KAREN CONRAD

Take a walk in Dana and
forget, for a moment, the
machine age" with the resulting
technological society and the
stamped and sterotyped factory
piece. The current exhibit focuses
upon the craftsman and the
originality and individuality of
his product. Hand-loomed fabrics
and rugs, batiks, tie dyes, jewlery,
pottery and wood work give an
idea of the extent of the included
crafts.

This exhibit represents the
works of some sixty men and
women, members of the Georgia
Designer Craftsmen, from all over
the State, in all fields of the
crafts. Some make their living at
their trade; others try to build an
influence and prestige of their
media. They are not amateurs;
each is a highly skilled, successful
artisan in his respected field.

In 1959, a small group of
craftsmen were invited by the
McBurney Art Memorial of the
Atlanta Art Association to show
a few representative pieces of the
various crafts. This formed the
nucleus of the Georgia Designer
Craftsmen. The original idea
behind the group lay in
promoting a better understanding
between craftmen and the public.
Through the sharing of ideas and
creative thinking, they attempt to
raise the standards of all crafts.

They encourage and inf luence all
craftsmen in design, use of
materials, and in improving the
quality of the workmanship.

Whether metal, wood, jewelry,
enamels or fabrics, each item is
unique in its 'design and
workmanship. Rugs and
tapestries hang like
p a i n t ings--color free and
spontaneous as a Van Gogh or
subdued and geometric like a
Mondrian; the potter extends his
craft from utilitarian objects to
those of pure whimsy and silver
and gold form the jewelry of
tomorrow-today!

The craftsman synthesizes
talent, sensitivity and dedication.
In her book, "Pottery: Form and
Expression", Marguerite
W i I d e n h a i n explains the
relationship between the man and
the craft." A craft is an
occupation that requires skill,
strength, cunning; all this lies
inthe Anglo-Saxon word "Craft":
not just a profession, but a
profession that needs more than
mere labor. It takes a human
being who has learned and
acquired a skill, who is strong in
his individuality: cunning,
resourceful, and inventive,
unconventional and free. And all
this is not in relation to outward
success, as many are, but a
relation to a man's work, as few

GOOD LUCK

and a
HAPPY
SUMMER!

Don't be surprised one day if
you pull into Winkler's Gulf
Station and see Hope Summers,
Annette Friar, or Sally Sue
Moore walk out to wait on you.
These industrious Scotties have
just about learned all the ropes to
being a successful gasoline
attendant.

Hope explained that after
buying gas from Winkler's for the
past few years, she and Sally and
Annette had become good friends
with Jerry Evans and Jo
W inkier-owners of the
station-and Dennis Simpson and
Tom Roberts-attendents.

Since the girls were planning to
drive out to California this
summer, they wanted to learn
how to take care of a car. Hope

said that the boys taught them
how to change a flat tire, check
the oil, etc.

Sally Sue said that one day last
week Jerry had to go to
air-conditioning school. The girls
volunteered to fill in so they
would be sure they knew how to
take care of a car this summer
and also just for the fun of it. As
Hope said, "It was a good way to
meet someone besides girls
between 18 and 22." So that day
they changed tires, washed
windows, checked air in tires, etc.

According to the girls, one
funny thing happened right after
the other. Sally Sue said that one
of the Agnes Scott librarians
pulled up for gas and asked her if
she went to Scott. Shen then gave

Hope a 10c tip for doing such a
good job washing her windows.

Hope said that when she would
walk up and ask a male customer
if she could check under his hood
he would usually die laughing and
get out of the car and watch to
see if she could really do it.

As she was washing one man's
car window, Hope said she
noticed a program from the opera
on his seat. Since she had been to
the Opera the night before, Hope
started discussing the opera with
the man. Afterwards the man
laughingly told her, "This is
really funny. I don't usually
discuss opera with a filling station
attendent."

Hope said that she, Annette,
and Sally Sue have their own
Gulf shirts now.

Black African Sculpture

After a third circuit of the
Black African Sculpture exhibit
at the High Museum of Art I
finally decided that I was
fascinated. The first look left me
rather curious. The second
intrigued me. But after the third I
knew that I could have stayed
there looking all day.

The impression the exhibit first
gives is uninspiring. Each piece in
the exhibit looks like a copy of
every other piece. Most of the
work is in wood, the majority of
the pieces are ceremonial masks.
There is no felling of emotion in
the work-faces are inscrutable:
they are as anonymous as ancient
Egyptian figures. The similarity
of each peice to all the other
pieces is almost monotonous.

With the second glance,
however, comes a strong
awareness of the fact that these
are individual pieces, like
variations of a theme. Despite the
similarity of media and subject
matter, each piece has a powerful
uniqueness. Some of the wood is
worn, some is highly polished.
Some of the work is entirely of
wood, but other pieces also have
seeds, metals, fibers, and fur. The
focal piece of the exhibit is a
polished wood mask with an
ivory tusk. The tusk is about four
feet tall and beautifully
sculptured.

The way each artist works
around the strict primitive
pattern of fear and superstition is
fascinating. For although the
piece as a whole must conform to
those patterns of African art,
each artist had developed a
personality in the way he handles
the details.

This exhibit is a collection of
200 pieces found in tribes and
homes in sub-Sahanan Africa.
The pieces were selected from the
collection of Mr. and Mrs. Paul
Tishman of New York. There are
no artists' names, no dates on the
pieces. The only way to identify
them is by region of the
continent. Maps are placed
around the museum for that
purpose.

Teaching Atlanta's Youth

In recent years, Atlanta has
indeed become a modern
metropolis. The youth of Atlanta
reflect, of course, the various
origins and backgrounds of their
parents - socially, culturally,
economically, and politically.
The seniors from Scott in the
teacher-education program are
scattered all over the
metropolitan area

Several specially chosen seniors
were interviewed for this article.
The schools they represent
include a large predominately
white upper-middle class high
school, a lower income high
school in downtown Atlanta, and
a predominately black
elementary school.

Marilyn Merrell is teaching a
third grade section at College
Heights Elementary School near
Scott. According to Marilyn,
"This school represents a
middle-class, concerned black
community. There are only ten
white students at College
Heights/'

Marilyn commented that these
children are so typical that she
hardly ever thinks of them as
black. "The children do have a
highly competitive nature, and
there are frequent fights. I guess
It's because they find it hard to
trust people," she added.

English majors, Sally Smith and
Sharon Smith, are serving their
internships at Lakeside High,
which includes grades eight

by DEBBIE JORDAN

through twelve. Every evening
Walters T.V. room shakes as
Sharon, who seems to be quite a
tyrant, carries on about her
obnoxious sixth period class of
seniors.

Lakeside exhibits all the
characteristics of the modern
suburban l high school. The
students are largely more
intelligent and definitely more
receptive to current social
pressures, such as drugs and
political activism. "The kids are
so sophisticated," commented
Sharon, "that they aren't even
frightened by the constant bomb
threats." Sharon added, "Over
one-half smoke pot and the other
half drops acid-in the bathrooms
at school."

Nevertheless, the stable
economic background of this
group affords a relatively carefree
adolescence - the source of the
never-ending teenage pranks.
Sharon has been pelted with
paper airplane darts and both
seniors have been attacked
withtthe latest fad - water pistols.

Sally said that in order to
combat the forces of boredom
she often makes casual "dirty"
remarks to catch and hold the
kids' attention. For example,
knowing how dull old "Silas
Marner" can be, Sally told her
tenth graders that George Eliot
was a whore - after which they
read with increased interest.

Lily Comer is teaching Modern

American History at Roosevelt
High near Grant Park. One first
notices the economic contrast
between the Roosevelt
community and that of Lakeside.
According to Lily, however, "the
difference is far greater than
economic. It is reflected
especially in these kids' political
views and also their attitude
toward drugs." Most of the
students at Roosevelt feel that
drugs are too dangerous
to experiment with and that
hippies are really up to no good.

These children come from poor
but hard-working families. Most
have their own jobs after school,
even such gruelling work as truck
driving. "Yet," commented Lily,
"theyare always at school. It
seems to be the bright spot of
their day because many of them
are really desperately lonely.
They are more mature than most
teenagers and are far from
hostile. In fact, in class they are
very honest and open."

Three profiles - three different
youth cults. We now see Marilyn
and Lily in positions far different
from their own backgrounds.
Sharon and Sally, in the pleasant
suburbs, are teaching the college
prep courses which don't even
exist at Roosevelt. Yet, most of
these youngsters will remain in
Atlanta when they graduate, and
their separate profiles will mold
the shape of Atlanta in the
coming years.

Film Phenomenon"

The "film phenomenon", the
explosion of interest among
young people in the making of
films, will be the subject of "THE
NEW COMMUNICATORS", a
two-part NBC Television
Network special to be shown
Saturday, May 23 (7:30 p.m.
NYT). and Friday, June 12
(10:00 p.m. NYT).

The host of the programs will
be Peter Fonda, himself a
revolutionizer on the professional
level. Fonda's movie, "Easy
Ridar," is one of the trend-setting
films that are changing the
direction of the film industry.

Up until a few years ago the
craft of making films was limited
to a sleet group of professionals
who toiled in and around
southern California. Today,
young filmmakers are not only
highly expert, but are, in many of
their techniques, ahead of the
professionals.

Unlike former days, film
courses are now available at
almost all major universities and
many elementary schools teach
creative filmmaking to their
youngest students. Consequently,
a whole new generation is
becoming k n o wledgeably
film-oriented as well as being
proficient in use of the earners.
Lee Mendelson, award-winning
producer and writer of the
specials, calls it "one of the most
exciting breakthroughs in
communications history."

Mendelson chose 40 films from
almost a thousand submitted
from all over the world. Films
range in complexity of theme
from a stylized satire on modern
human relationships to an
animation of the NBC peacock,
and in length from seconds to 12
minutes. But Mendelson fells
they have a common
thread they all communicate in
a unique and exciting way.

"The Magic Mushroom", by a
13 year old girl, was done at the
Yellow Ball Workshop in

Massachusetts. "Claude", an
animated cartoon illustrating the
lack of communication between
children and their parents, was
created by Dan McLaughlin at
UCLA and has won awards
throughout the world.

Perhaphs the most poignant of
all, though, is a 20 second film
made by a youngster from the
Yellow Ball Workshop. A flip
card says simply, "Wouldn't it be
nice if all bombs exploded for
peace".

Sally Smith and Sharon Smith try to smile and relax as they grade
their students' papers.

Ever since my dear ole mother started redoing my room.

IMPRESSIONS

by KITTY BLAIR, CINDY HARVEY, GINNY SIMMONS

This article presents youth culture-the way it sees the world, and
the way the world sees it. These scraps come from many people and
places: conversations, letters, newspaper articles, personal
experiences. They are a combination of fact and fiction. They are
impressions. We believe that they all truly reflect at least some aspect
or influence of this new, young culture: the youth culture.

What is youth culture?

H is when youth out of their own theory

about life turn from existing society

and begin their own way-

Dr. K. Ross Toole
Professor of History
University of Montana
49 yrs.

"Every generation makes
mistakes, always has and always
will. We have made our share. But
my generation has made America
the most affluent country on
earth; it has tackled head on a
racial problem which no nation
on earth in the history of
mankind has dared to do. It has
publicly declared war on poverty
and it has gone to the moon; it
has desegregated schools and
abolished polio, it has presided
over the beginning of what is
probably the greatest social and
economic revolution in man's
history...

I am sick of the total
irrationality of the campus 'rebel'
whose bearded visage, dirty hair,
body odor and 'tactics' are
childish but brutal, naive and
dangerous, and the essence of
arrogant tyranny-the tyranny of
spoiled brats...

Since when have children ruled
this country? By virtue of what
right by what accomplishment
should thousands of teen-agers,
wet behind the ears and utterly
without the benefit of having
lived long enough to have either
judgement or wisdom, become
the sages of our time?..."

although she is not an alarmist at

sees an uprising as an inevitable
result of "the alienation of an
entire generation."

ways...

My mind lies soft in a bed of its own importance.
It feels warm in a world of indifference,
Safe from the hardness,
Far from the cold nights outside.

Don't wake me up.

And besides, I'm tired of that long walk in the dark,
And I don't want the warmth from your broken fire

There are often creative and

they sell.

The art work is some of the

These people dance when they

They dance what they feel. They

Drugs have become widespread
everywhere. Their presence in
junior and senior high schools is
well known and is no longer
shocking. But now drugs are
being found even in elementary
schools. ^Curiously enough,
though, many of these who
pioneered the use of drugs have
now quit using them. Their use of
drugs seems to have been initially
the desperate search for
something to provide an answer
to life. Many young people saw
no answer in the values, religions,
and lives of their parents.
Rejecting these, many young
people tried drugs as a new way
to find meaning.

An interesting fact is that now
some of these seekers have found
that drugs are not an answer
either. Many of these are actually
turning to the idea of a higher
being, a God. Throughout the
history of mankind, the idea of a
god has seemed to be essential.
Such is the case now.

fhe old ways...

Also I have made a decision- one of the first real commitments
for me in a long time. The U.S. has sent troops into Cambodia. I
believe very strongly that that was wrong to do. So today I marched
in a peace march downtown. Never before have I done such a thing,
but this time I felt so committed to my opinion that I would have
been betraying myself not to have gone. Some of the marchers came
with signs and flags, but mostly we just walked singing, and calling,
PEACE, NOW. This whole country is in an uproar. Colleges all over
the nation are demonstrating and protesting; some are closing down.
The inciting incident was the deaths of four college students at a
march in Ohio. They were shot by U.S. National Guardsmen. That
left college students and everyone else pretty furious and stunned.
But the situation is serious. There is a great deal of talk of a
revolution. In fact some really intelligent people are predicting a
revolt this summer. The thing is that there is no organized means for
an uprising; but discontent is pretty widespread. I'll be glad to be
away because that's one decision I'd hate to have to m ake right now.
Dad's already pretty mad at me because I had written that I was
disgusted with the U.S., that I think our country is in a military
whirlpool it cannot get out of, and that if I were a boy I'd seriously
consider moving my citizenship to a country where I could honorably
act aas a responsible citizen. I know for a fact that I could not go into
the army while this country is so trapped in its military furor. These
wars are wrong- and if we cannot get out of them then I cannot
support us- and I cannot honor my being a citizen of a country I
cannot support. Where then is my self-respect? There simply is none.

letter from Viet Nam, March, 1970

The Lord is really helping me over here boy. It's so neat-Joe would
really like it. The guys here I really like. They really love to get high
all the time. They drink a lot and marijuana is really heavy over here.
Just about everybody smokes it and they like it so much. They're just
like everybody else though. They like to be friendly and are just
thirsty for love and purpose.

The job I have really brings the guys together. We go out in 6-man
teams for 5 days out in the middle of nowhere. Helicopters fly us out
and just leave us and we're supposed to find the enemy and do away
with them with the help of artillary. Anyway, I guess it's kind of
dangerous and we're supposed to be the craziest, most daring guys
there are. I just got back from a mission and it turned out to be
nothing more than a 5-day campout because we never ran into
anybody. It doesn't really seem dangerous at all. We carefully sneak
around Viet Nam's beautiful country and are always pretty cautious.
I'm really thankful to have this job while in the army because I think
it's neat for me and Jesus to be in a recon platoon.

A middle-aged Atlantan was
overheard after seeing an anti-war
march on Sat., May 10. She
simply wished that a huge truck
moving 80 m .p.h. would stop the
motley crowd and "kill every
blasted one of 'em."

Disillusioned young in America
long ago began to turn from the
conventional culture and society.
Communities of young people
have sprung up all over the
country, in houses, in
apartments, in tenements and
tents, and even under the stars.
These youth seem merely to want
to live their own way divorced
from the materialistic life of their
parent generation.

Amazingly enough, this young
desire has become a threat to the
powers that be. In Nevada, for
example, the potential power of
young communities was so great
that through passage of laws
impossible for them to comply
with the youth were driven out
of the state. Their power came
from the sparcity of population
in Nevada. An abundance of land
drew vast numbers of youth, the
establishment sensed the
potentiality of a strong vote
developing among them. These
young people were driven out of
Nevada long before many of
them even began to realize the
threat they had posed. They
thought the objection was their
long hair.

Are they aware of their power?

This is the youth culture.

Ammendment
to End the War"

By FLOYD N0RR1S
College Press Service

WASHINGTON--(CPS)~The
"Amendment to End the War,"
which Senators George
McGovern, Mark Hatfield,
Charles Goodell, Harold Hughes,
and Frank Churck, went on
Nationwide television to support,
is picking up support in the
Senate, and its sponsors think it
has some chance to pass.

But chances for final passage
are considered slim, with the
amendment having to wind its
way through a tortuous series of
legal obstacles before gaining
final passage.

The amendment to the military
approrpiations bill, which
probably will be voted on in early
June, provides that all forces will
have to be withdrawn from
Cambodia within 30 days from
enactment, from Laos by
December 31, 1970, and from
Vietnam by June 30, 1971.

If it does get by the Senate, it
probably will go to a House-
Senate Conference, with
members of the Conference
Committee appointed by the
chairmen and ranking
Republicans of the Armed
Services Committee.

Supporters of the bill claim
that despite the ultra-hawkishness
of the Armed Services
Committees, there is a chance
they will leave the amendment in
the bill in order to retain other
parts of the appropriation.
Another possible tact would be
for the House to instruct its
conferees to insist on the section.
This would be done after the
Senate passes the bill, but before
it goes to a House-Senate
Conference.

If the House does vote on it,
the chances are slight that the
antiwar forces can muster enough
votes. Anti-war measures have

never been strong in tne House,
and the leadership of both parties
will oppose the amendment.

In the Senate, support has
grown at a phenomenal rate in
the past few weeks. When the
amendment was introduced in
September, only Senators
Goodell, Hatfield and McGovern
were willing to co-sponsor it.

By the end of April, only
Senator Hughes had joined them,
but the Cambodian invasion,
coupled with an unprecendented
outflow of indignation from
around the country, has brought
1 7 new co-sponsors and
supporters claim they have a total
of at least 30 votes guaranteed.

Additional co-sponsors include
Senators Birch Bayh, Alan
Cranston, Mike Gravel, Fred
Harris, Vance Hartke, Daniel
Inouye, Edward Kennedy,
Eugene McCarthy, Lee Metcalf,
Walter Mondale, Gaylord Nelson,
Stephen Young, Church,
Abraham Ribicoff, Ed Muskie,
Philip Hart, and Thomas
Eagle ton.

The major immediate problem
confronting the proponents is
getting further Republican
support. All 21 co-sponsors,
except Goodell and Hatfield, are
Democrats, and a bi-partisan
group of sponsors is crucial.

If the senators can muster a
majority for withdrawal within a
year, it will put pressure on
Nixon even if the House does not
go along. Whether or not the
administration chooses to make a
major fight over the resolution
will probably affect several votes.

While the amendment is not
likely to achieve final passage, it
will force Senators and perhaps
House members to take a firm
stand on the War. With that vote
firmly in hand, campaign workers
for anti-war candidates will be
able to cut through a lot of
rhetoric during the fall campaign.

"Students

in Revolt

New York--A crucial question:
where peaceful demonstrations
end and where an angry
confrontation begins, is discussed
by those directly involved, in
Janet Harris's new book,
Students in Revolt (McGraw-Hill,
$4.95).

Eyewitness accounts on what is
happening today are provided by
Nesbitt Crutchfield, a member of
the Black Student Union at San
Francisco State College; Robert
Friedman, editor-in-chief of
Columbia University's daily
newspaper; Heidi Reichling and
Karl Dietrick Wolff, respectively
secretary and president of the
West German radical student
organization, Sozial istischer
Deutscher Studentenbund, plus
others.

The young authors boldly
question the universities'
dedication in preparing students
for jobs, rather than allowing
time for true intellectual
exploration; the students
question their own demands-are
they too ambitious, or too timid,
They examine reasons for the
spread of the revolutionary spirit
world-wide.

The contributors to Students in
Revolt basically express the
students' desire for a larger share
in determining their own future.
They feel a need to participate in
the black-white issue, the
Vietnam War, and opposition to
the draft and R.O.T.C.

Author of The Long Freedom
Road and Black Pride, both
McGraw-Hill books, Mrs. Harris
teaches at C.W. Post College,
Long Island University.

Student strike
affects campuses

THE AMERICAN
CAMPUS-<CPS)-The strike goes
on.

Already, 286 colleges and
universities have decided to
continue dieir strikes until the
end of the academic term, and
many others of the 450 schools
that struck last week are
considering extending their
boycott on business as usual.

The strike has spread to high
schools. 167 high schools are on
strike with another 30 voting on
strike action, according to the
Brandeis University strike
information center.

National strike conferences are
being held at Yale. A summer
strike planning conference is
scheduled for May 29 at Oberlin
or Antioch, Ohio or St. Louis.
(For more information call
301-730-9175).

Anti-war demonstrations and
GI teach-ins are planned for 45
military bases on Armed Forces
Day May 16, and military
authorities are braced for possible
i confrontations.

Faculty and administration
support for strikes continues to

grow on some campuses. At the
University of Colorado, die
faculty has voted almost
unanimously to cancel the rest of
the academic term and keep the
University open for strike
activities. At the University of
California at Irvine, the
administration has announced
students^can drop present courses
and receive credit for strike and
ant i- war work through free
university courses.

New campuses continue to add
their names to the list on strike,
although the pace has slowed
since before the weekend.
Sweetbriar College students in
Virginia voted 517 to 198 to
strike despite the
campus administration's position
against it.

Violence continues on some
campuses, including at the
University of South Carolina
which had never experienced
campus unrest before last week.
3,000 students demonstrated and
200 students broke into the
University treasurer's offices
destroying records May 11 in

protest over the trustees' meeting
at the same moment to consider
die cases of 31 students who a
week earlier had participated in
an occupation of the student
union building.

10,000 rallied in Berkeley
where Student body President
Dan Siegal and Tom Hay den of
die Chicago 8 called for a
Continental Congress July 4.
While Gov. Ronald Reagan has
attempted to re-open the
campuses he closed a week ago,
strikes are reportedly at least 50
per cent .effective at most of the
University of California
campuses.

Thousands of students flooded
CongressMay 11 and 12 to
demand an end to die Cambodian
invasion and immediate
withdrawal from Vietnam.
Included were 1000 students
(and 75 faculty members) from
Yale, 600 from Brandeis and 400
from Colgate.

Support also appears ?to be
growing for a continuation of this
month's strike in the fall.

Tricia Nixon comments

WASHINGTON-(CPS)--The
Nixon administration, scared and
amazed by a student strike that
exceeded anyone's expectations,
responded with major efforts to
convince students that Nixon was
really their friend.

Students farther to the left
than the Young Americans for
Freedom (YAF) have not been
popular at the White House, as
Nixon called them "bums," and
Agnew let it be known how
disgusting those hippies were.

But with the strike growing,
the administration took a page
from the book favored by
thousands of liberal
administrators. Talk, they
discovered, is cheap. Students
could get in to talk with everyone
ranging from lowly aides to
cabinet members. Even the
President met with some
students.

Early in the week, it became
clear that all of this was an
attempt to make the students feel
like their opinion was being
listened to. But the invasion of
Cambodia was not reversible, and
the administration had no
intentions of making any
substantive changes.

Even Tricia Nixon was brought
into the act. She met with two
Finch College students. Since she
had graduated from Finch in
1968, it was assumed they would
have rapport.

Tricia told the students, who
favored immediate withdrawal
from Vietnam, that "if you feel
that way, you certainly are free
to write your congressmen and
senators." The Finchies
responded that they had been
doing that for 5 years. "Some
Senator sends you a postcard,
"Thank you for your attitude/
after you've written him a
scathing letter," said Ann
Holmes, 20, the student body

president of Finch.

Tricia also suggested that "any
student in the United States who
has an idea how to bridge the gap
between students and the
administration should send their
ideas along to the White House."

The only change that was really
made in response to the strike
was a toning down of rhetoric.
Nixon told 8 University
Presidents, summoned to the
White House after the press
criticized Nixon's refusal to meet
with 37 college Presidents who

had demanded withdrawal from
Cambodia, that statements like
bums" and the Agnew series of
speeches will stop.

But that was it. Like the
college administrator who
consults with everybody in sight
before doing what he intended to
do anyway, the Nixon
administration was willing to talk
to students, but had no intention
of changing policies to reflect
their urgent concerns. Whether
such talks will pacify the students
remains to be seen.

The "happening" -ETL

Most places are pretty well
battened down for the night by
three o'clock - on a Sunday
morning---except maybe the
airport, Krispy Kreme, local
laundromat, and Agnes Scott
Dean's Office.

Activity around here is due to
ETL (this isn't a fraternity or a
new drug it stands for Extended
Time Limit). This is our latest
curfew innovation. The idea
behind it is that if one person has
been granted permission by the
D.O. to stay out until three in the
morning on a week-end, then
everybody else in the school
should be allowed the same
privilege.

But, since the dorms are locked
by one o'clock, the latecomer
must bid her date good-night on
the front steps on Main, go into
the Dean's Office and find her
card, and then wait in the hall for
a campus policeman to escort her
to her dorm . Cottage dwellers can
be accompanied by their
dates minus the policeman, that
is.

Such a unique system is bound
to have its complications. One
time, two girls from Sturgis
Cottage had two "really gross"
blind dates, and they just didn't
care a whole lot about being
accompanied to their front door.
So, they left their dates standing
on the front porch of Main,
picked up their cards in the D.O.
and went tripping non chalantly
out the back door, in an attempt
to avoid the two gross dates, the
dean's staff member on duty, and
the campus policeman. Halfway
across campus, they saw the back
door of Main fly open, followed
by the dean's staff member and
campus cop, each of which

emitted a simultaneous "STOP!!"
Not really caring to hang around
and find out what they might do
for an encore, the two decided it
was time for a change of pace,
which involved a head-on meeting
with a dogwood tree here and
there.

The driveway in front of Main
isn't a far cry from the 5 o'clock
rush hour as ETL approaches.
Cars are triple-parked, some
resorting to the sidewalk. Girls
trying to sleep in Main often get
the full benefit of this. One Main
resident said that last week-end,
two groups of boys, obviously
having attended somebody's
fraternity party, became irritated
with each other when one
wouldn't move a car which was
parked right in the middle of the
driveway. Horns honked, tempers
flew, and some unprintable
suggestions were made. A few
minutes later, the following was
overheard between the
cars: --"Where is it now what's
that address?"

People come into the Dean's
Office with varying degrees of
enthusiasm after their dates. Mrs.
Concepcion Leon, assistant to the
dean of students, has witnessed a
number of reactions: "I can look
in to a girl's face and tell what
kind of time she's had.. .I don't
like sad girls if they go out, they
should have a good time..."

One girl commented that you
really feel strange when people
start laughing when you walk in
the front door. Somebody came
in one time from a fraternity
slumber party with a long pink
nightgown and pink fuzzy
slippers under a coat. Another
individual signed in with hunting
boots laced up to her knees, a
hunting jacket, welding goggles,
and a pencil stuck in a bun on
top of her head.

group next year, please contact

If you have any questions, get in
touch with these girls.

Sometimes there are twenty or
so people waiting by the time the
policeman gets back from his
rounds. His entrance is followed
by a mad scramble, and pleas of
"Are you going to Winship
next?" "inman?" and so on.
When he finally announces his
next destination, the winners
gather in a platoon, and head out
the back door behind their
leader. There's always somebody
who has just missed her group. If
there's a possibility she can catch
it, it's best to move out of her
path if you value your life.

Something that can't be
missed, no matter how hard you
try, is the show on the front
porch. "At least a hundred
people out there". .."like they're
planning their lives". .."you'd
think he was leaving for Viet
Nam". .."looks like an ancient
Roman garden..."

Mr. S.D. Martin, a campus
policeman, commented on the
scene as being "Absolutelv
educational. ..Practice make?
perfect."

What's so special
about Special Education ?

Many things.

Special Education is teaching children who can't
learn in ways most children learn.

It's using new techniques, new methods and
equipment in building better lives for those who
have physical, mental or emotional problems which
have given them learning handicaps.

It's the special joy of teaching a deaf or
hard-of-hearing child to communicate a blind or
visually impaired child to read-a mentally retarded
youngster to be self-reliant, or even self-supporting.

Special Education is a profession that is personally
rewarding and offers professional security because
the need for special educators cannot be met
for many years. Right now, 5 million children
need 300,000 teachers-yet only 70,000
educators are engaged in the profession.

These are the results of the
questionnaire you filled out two
weeks ago. We apologise for the
absence of senior results. They
somehow got misplaced.
However, there were only 48
responses from seniors which is
too small to be considered
representative.

Out of 722 students 386
replied. We would like to thank
those of you who took the time
to answer. We also appreciated
the comments and will use them
for future reference.

The responses have been
tabulated according to class so
that you may compare the
similarities or differences in the
attitudes of each, and according
to residence so that you may
note the responses of
day-students. In comparing these
figures please remember to note
the total number of replies in

each class. Some of the more
interesting results are summarized
below. No interpretation of them
will be given. You may note the
replies and make of them what
you will.

Small college, location, and
academic reputation were the
major leasons for coming to
Scott according to responses in
each class. Those who replied for
the most part checked that
academically Agnes Scott has
lived up to their expectations.
The majority checked that for
the most part they were happy at
Agnes Scott. For those who were
not happy many suggested that
they "get into things."

Responses to what each class
liked about Scott varied.
However, each class was fairly
consistent in that they liked the
girls here and the faculty. What
girls disliked most about Scott

vere: the way courses are taught;
social life; social regulations; and
homogeneous atmosphere.

Conservative, nice, social,
intellectual, and smarter than
most girls were the choices
frequently checked for describing
girls at Scott.

Concerning academic pressure
many rated too much emphasis
on grades and too much work
and not enough time to do a
good job as high. Those
interested in pursuits outside of
required class work reported that
they did not have time and did
not pursue the interest.

As for stimulation in class, the
most frequent replies were
stimulated some and bored some.
Many sophomores and freshmen
reported that there was hardly
any class discussion in their
classes while juniors reported that
there was a lot of class discussion
in some of their classes.

PERSPECTIVE..

See what is passing now.. .Look at the
exhausted treasury, the paralyzed government;
the uncouth representatives of a free people;
the desperate contests between the North and
the South; the iron curb and brazen muzzle
fastened upon every man who speaks his mind
The stabbinqs and shootings the intrusion of the most
pitiful, mean, malicious, creeping, crawling, sneaking

party spirit into all transactions of life

Charles Dickens, 1842

Written by Dickens in 1842 from
America to a friend in England.

Taken from the editorial page
of The News and Courier,
Charleston, South Carolina,
May 17, 1970.
