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. 

Sure we have our share of 
starches, but the lovely ladies of 
Letitia Pate always offer a variety 
of vegetables and salads (Sally 
Freshman, did I hear you say you 
hate squash?). Now's the time for 



naugljt presents 

Freshmen 

you to mind your vitamins and 
experiment -- it's really pretty 
good. 

Just to give an example, Dinner 
Wednesday night was (or could 
have been): Roast beef (minus 
fat)-4 oz. 

200 calories 
Squash - cup 35 
Beans - 1 cup 25 
Jell-o salad 125 
Grand Total 385 
That one must admit is a modest 
sum. 

In all probability though, 
snacks will be your downfall. 
Heed the advice of one who's 
been that route, and don't eat all 
that hot buttery popcorn in Mary 
Jane's room just to be friendly - 
chances are, she is just sitting 
there watching everyone else 
gorge. 

And remember, P by C has 
atmosphereall right but they also 
have extra plates. Share that 
pizza. A whole one never gave 
anyone anything but indigestion 
and garlic breath.

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,

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. 

Recipients of assistance from 
the Annice Hawkins Kenan 
Scholarship Fund will be students 
from the metropolitan Atlanta 
area or from the State of North 
Carolina who have indicated their 
intention to make a career in 
teaching.

would replace the present 
Judicial Board. 

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. 

What do you think about these 
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. 



An exhibition of paintings by 
Leland Staven, new assistant 
professor of art. will open in the 
Dalton Galleries on Sunday, 
September 28, fror.2-5 p.m. The 
dominant theme of the show is 
the synthesis of art and science as 
executed in "molecular" 
paintings in polymer. 

An artist, musician and poet, 
Staven is a member of the 
Georgia Commission on the Arts 
for 1967-1971, and was recently- 
elected vice-chairman of the 
commission.

Michael McDowell, pianist and 
chairman of the Department of 
Music, will present a concert in 
Presser Hall, on Thursday, 
September 25 at 8:00 p.m. 

The major work on this 
concert, which traditionally 
opens the college season, will be 
Sonata in F minor, Opus 5 by 
Brahms. Works by Liszt, 
Mendelssohn, Debussy, and 
p oulenc will also be heard. 



Dr. Miriam K. Drucker. 
professor of psychology at Agnes

annual meeting. Making the 
announcement, Joseph 
Hammock. immediate 
past-president of the 
organization, said, "For a long

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. 



Scotties Image 
'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.

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.

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, 

Elizabeth and Patricia

Shaw pointed out that the

two-thirds past, many of these

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.

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.

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

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. 



The Profile encourages letters 
to the editor from individuals 
expressing their opinions on any 
subject. Letters should be less 
than 250 words, and must be

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. 




Take your parents to # Dana to see Staven's new 
molecular concept of art.

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. 

Marion Gamble 

*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 
now while I become that "whole woman" which is so popular this 
girls filled out the cards, and right year. Scott, give me room to grown, but please be there to help me 
now that date data is on file at understand the goals I set for myself. I'm not ashamed to say that I 
the Sigma Nu fraternity house. don't think I'm ready to be a woman yet. Who knows? "Whole" for 

This fall's fashions seem to be somebody else may be all lop-sided for me 
much the same at Georgia's coed Debbie Jordan 

colleges as they are here at Scott 
In a recent fashion show at WESTl 
GEORGIA COLLEGE in 
Carrolton, pantsuits were by far 
the most popular item with 
bellbottoms dominating the pants 
style. Three-piece outfits and 
dresses exhibited some new 
"wrinkles", such as the "Indial 
look," braid trim, and of course, 
rising hemlines. Accessories in the 
form of scarves, rings, and long 
necklaces were an essential part 
of almost every outfit. Big 
chunky shoes were also the order 
fo the day. 

At the UNIVERSITY OF 
GEORGIA, the coeds have 
discovered (like many Scott girls) 
that a change of hair color or 
style changes a woman. After 
discovering that synthetic fibers 
do not have to look fake, they 
realized that wigs are just as 
much a part of the "total look" 
as scarves, belts, and jewelry. It is 
important that wigs compliment 
the attire of the wearer and add 
to, rather than take away from, 
the overall effect. 

The pass-fail system has been 
introduced at NORTH DAKOTA 
STATE UNIVERSITY. The

by LINDA LANEY 



Along with freshmen 
everywhere, the freshmen girls at 
KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY 
seem to spend a lot of time 
standing in lines during 
orientation and enrollment. 
Pledges of the Sigma Nu 
fraternity took advantage of the 
typical enrollment chaos, setting 
up a booth outside Ahearn Field 
House. Over the booth a sign 
said: "Freshmen women register 
here." The unsuspecting 
freshmen were under the 
impression that the 3 x 5 cards 
they were filling out for the 
pledges were all in the line of 
duty; after all, they had filled out 
countless other cards, and maybe 
this was just another technicality. 
Most of the girts didn't question 
why they had to list their name, 
home and school addresses, 
height, hair and eye color, 
sorority, and where they like to 
go on dates. Approximately 250 



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 

Yours sincerely,

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. 



The' Last Summer 9 - 
human nature revolts 



by Ellen Willingham 



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.

Intercollegiate 

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



Camille Holland, Arts Council 
representative; Sherry Stith. 
Social Council representative; 
Martha Smith, Athletic 
Association representative; 
Melissa Clark, Marty Perkerson, 
Belita Stafford, Valerie Pearsall, 
and Truly Bracken. Please notify 
any of these people with 
questions, problems, or 
suggestions relevant to AAPC. 

Meditation Class 

Jerry Jarvis, Director of the 
Student's International 
Meditation Society will give an 
introductory lecture on the 
principles and practive of 
Transcendental Meditation, as 
taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi 
on November 3. Jarvis is 
currently on an intensive 
lecturing tour, which has taken 
him to such colleges and 
universities as Yale, Columbia. 
MIT, Harvard, Princeton, Johns 
Hopkin, Radcliffe and others. 

Since it was founded four years 
ago, the Student's International 
Meditation Society has given 
personal instruction in 
Transcendental Meditation to 
more than 20,000 students and 
faculty and has centers in more 
than 10 0 colleges and 
universities.

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. 

Head Start, proposed as a more immediately 
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.

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.

Jail bait arise! we must unite to 
face the world and the older 
generation- all those over 
eighteen. 

Some women desire wealth, 
some desire power-1 just want an 
ID to get me into the movies. Can 
any other sophomore, but me, 
possibly know the mortal 
embarrassment of being asked to 
present identification at 
"Midnight Cowboy" and not 
having it-- legally, that is. 

But dear Agnes takes care of 
her own. Last year the birthdate 
on my ID was September 
20,1950. I could hardly believe 
my eyes. In my mind, I heard 
Dean Scandrett whispering, "Yes, 
Dorothea, there really is a Santa 
Claus." 

The year was wrong; the month 
was wrong. Even the day was 
wrong. I realized my full 
potential as a pre-whole woman. I 
staunchly faced the world, chin 
high, ID clutched tightly. And so 
the summer flew by- and so did 
the movies. 

Such bliss could not last-Fall 
came around and so did ASC

leaned forward toward the 
camera as far as I could without 
knocking the name card over, I 
thought, "Smile pretty, 
Cinderella! This year you'll be 
yourself again!" 

But joy, euphoria, 
jubilation-Scott blooped again. I 
once again face Atlanta with a 
fraudulent student identification 
card-and it doesn't even have the 
same wrong date-it's a revised 
version. At least Bertie Bond

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 
Week panels.

ASC Young Matrons 
Discusss Many Roles

Did you know that there are 24 Karen Blankner has been 
girls attending Agnes Scott who married three years. She and her

blissful state of marriage? Two of school so they feel it's only fair

How many of you have ever 
tried to jolly the TV repairman, 
ignore his Tampa Nugget which 
positively reeks, keep your 
spinach souffle from deflating, 
your pot roast from turning into 
roast pot and at the same time 
juggle chemical equations? 
Impossible?. ..of course, but Scott 
students are noted for being 
whole women. ...and slightly off 
their rockers anyway. 

Talking to some of the matrons 
on the campus we got some 
insight into their bliss and blues. 
For instance we wondered how 
they get to school. Kathy 
Hewlett drives an old Mercury 
bomb, which, in her words, "is 
the laughing stock of the whole 



Last but not least is the worst 
chore of studying and the 
problem of time. Betsy Wech, a 
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 
many more important things than 
her studies. (Her biggest problem 
now is finishing her thank-you 
notes from the wedding.) One big 
difference in being married and 
living in the dorm is that she feels 
much less isolated from the 
outside world. She also pointed

every morning. Her husband eats 
a phenomenal breakfast - six eggs, 
six cups of coffee, and three 
glasses of orange juice. 

M'Ellen Gordon Christenberry 
doesn't have to get up quite so 
early and her husband doesn't eat 
breakfast. She gets to school by 
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 DelVecchio Owen agrees 
with this. She added, however, 
''anyone who has taken 
chemistry has a head start in 
measuring and cleaning." Many 
of the girls split household chores 
with their husbands

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 
yet, the gentleman with the long 
hair had a license plate number 
PIG 135. 

At last, Gov. Ronald Reagan 
has rectified this embarrassing 
situation. New license plates will 
be issued this year, and a 
full-scale program was developed 
to exclude certain offensive letter 
combinations. 

Researchers at the University 
of California's linguistic 
department spent hours ravaging 



seven languages for abbreviated 
opprobriums that might be 
somewhat naught v. 

On the political side, KKK is 
forever banned, but as a 
concension to liberaliti, GOD 
goes, too. 

GYP, HAG, DDT, CAD, BAD 
and BAG are eliminated along 
with FAT. 

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 
irate mind, although you can't 
get PIG or SEX or RUM, you can 
still have LOG, LSD, POT or 
MAO. 

And then McLaughlin blushed 
and whispered: "We found 
something that was real bad in 
French that is still going to be 
used." 

But he wouldn't say it, darn it. 



'Easy Rider- A Movie 
that really gets to you 



by JANICE JOHNSTON 
Feature Editor 

"Easy Rider" is not the kind of 
movie that you forget five 
minutes after leaving the theater. 
Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, 
both the stars and the producer 
and director of the movie, have 
tried to present a different and 
meaningful movie about the 
search for personal freedom, the 

Rockrates-E 
Roll over,

WASHING TON~<CPS)-Fvery 
once in a while the great 
conveyor belt of life serves up a 
little bleep of happiness. Such a 
thing happened Halloween when 
the National Lducation 
Association (NBA) and the Music 
Educators National Conference 
(MENC)held a joint press 
conference to endorse rock 
music. 

It didn't really matter that the 
endorsement came 15 years too 
late or that it was totally 
irrelevant to everything, because 
a good time was had by all. 



drug culture, and the state of 
America today. 

The basic plot is simple. Two 
young anti-heroes, Captain 
America and Billy , make a lot of 
money buying and selling 
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 
ew Orleans are incredibly 
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 
Nicholson's characterization of a 
hard-drinking Southern lawyer, 
who joins Hopper and Fonda on 
their journey. 

Whether you like this vibrant 
and brutal movie or not-one 
thing is certain-you will not 
forget it easily. According to 
Playboy Magazine, "It all adds up 
to one hell of a trip."

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.

European Jobs 

Work this summer in the 
forests of Germany, on 
construction in Austria, on farms 
in Germany, Sweden and 
Denmark, on road construction 
in Norway, in industries in 
France and Germany, in hotels in 
Switzerland. 

Jobs are available as well- in 
Ireland, England, France, Italy 
and Holland, opened by the 
consent of the governments of 
these countries to American 
University students coming to 
Europe next summer. 

For several years students have 
made their way across the 
Atlantic through A. E.S. -Service 
to take part in the actual life of 
the people of these countries. 
Already, many students have 
made application for next 
summer's jobs. American-Euro- 
pean Student Service (on a 
non-profit basis) is offering these 
jobs to students for Germany, 
Scandinavia, England, Austria, 
Switzerland, France, Italy, and 
Spain. The jobs consist of 
forestry work, child care work 
(females only), farm work, hotel 
work (limited number available), 
construction work, and some 
other more qualified jobs 



requiring more specialized 
training. 

The purpose of this program is 
to afford the student an, 
opportunity to get into real living 
contact with the people and 
customs of Europe. In this way, a

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.

negotiated settlement. 

Vietnam temporarily partitioned into a northern (Hanoi) 
and southern zone (Saigon) for the purpose of disengaging 
military forces. Elections to be held in 1956 for

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). 




Sir John Rothenstein smiles before delivering his "sermon" in 
Convocation. His audience responded with the refrain, "will you 
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.

"The Crucible" by Arthur Miller - now playing in Dana. 



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 . 

Further information is available from travel agents 
or Icelandic Airlines, Room 611, 630 Fifth Avenue

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

We seek an America thai

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.

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.

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."

Leaning hack in her chair. and 
with M trace of a smile olaying 
across her lips. Mrs. Barbara 
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."

One of her most stunning 
success stories is that at first, 
students wouldn't touch spinach 
souffle, but recently there have 
even been requests for it. When 
asked what the students' favorite 
dishes were, Mrs. Saunders had 
to laughingly admit, kt llotdogs,

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.

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

DECEMBER 8, 1969 



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

gauntlet, toe the line, square off, and generally breathe

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 



by DEBBIE DALHOUSE 

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. 






UTTERS 



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 
counting the commas in the 
works of Bennett Cerf and the 
4 *ha's" in "Hiawatha," as well as a 
degree in history by proving that 
the works of the Venerable Bede 
were ghost-written by Richard 
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!

you come out of the shower. 
There you are in your best 
underwear, with them leaning 
against the wall with a phone box 
under one arm and grinning. 
Sometimes, if you're lucky, 
they'll even mutter the warning 
"man on the hall." Meanwhile 
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 
stomach in.

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

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

Far less indifferent were a table

contact Susan Head.) 

Arnott, born and educated in 
Great Britain, came to the United 
States in 1958. He has worked 
with the marionette theater since 
1949 and has performed in both 
the United States and Europe. 
Arnott designs his own stage and 
makes his own scenery, costumes, 
and puppets. He also plays all the 
roles. Arnott is particulary 
interested in serious drama in the 
realm of the classics. His 
repertoire includes plays by 
Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripedes, 
Marlowe, Moliere, and Medieval 
mystery plays. 

Arnott is author of "Greek 
Scenic Conventions in the Fifth 
Century B.C." and translations of 
numerous Greek and Latin plays.

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 
velocity be in order that he catch 
the student just before the 
ground is reached? (b) What must 
be the height of the skyscraper so 
that even Superman can't save 



The finger is Tricia Daunt 



point of the game. The freshmen 
likewise defeated the juniors, 1-0. 



Stunning in new electric 
blue formals are these svelte 
singers. A Buttrick design, 
the flattering empire effect 
will certainly add luster to 
future Glee Club concerts.

Analogies are also inserted for 
clarification to help the 
dull=minded. One analogy in 
ELEMENTARY ST ATISTICS is 
exquisite: "Occasionally a 
frequency distribution will have, 
like camels, not one hump, but 
two." 

The Bible also contains humor. 
Acts 20:7-9 contains a warning to 
the patient listener: "On the first 
day of the week, when we were 
gathered together to break 
bread, Paul talked with them, 
intending to depart on the 
morrow; and he prolonged his 
speech until midnight. There 
were many lights in the upper 
chamber where we were gathered. 
And a young man named 
Kutychus was sitting in the 
window. Me sank into a deep 
sleep as Paul talked still longer; 
and being overcome by sleep, he 
fell down from the third story 
and was taken up dead/' Beware 
students who sit by the window! 

The authors of ELEMENTARY 
STATISTICS draw a unique 
conclusion: "Whenever possible, 
it is advantageous to use the same 
subjects in both conditions (of an 
experiment).. .The subjects 
serving in the different conditions 
are ideally matched; they are the 
same people.

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.

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

You are there. But where are  
you? The first person to identify 
the scene correctly wins a large,

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.

Benfield to speak in 
week-long RE series 



by BETSY JENNINGS 



The week of January 19-23, 
which has been designated as 
Religious Emphasis Week at 
Agnes Scott, will bring to the 
colleee community Dr. William 
A. Benfield, pastor of the First 
Presbyterian Church 
Charleston, West Virginia. 

In his speeches in daily chapels 
and informal discussions, Dr. 
Benfield will explore the 
relevancy of the Christian faith 
and traditions to the modern 
world. The informal discussions 
will place a special emphasis on 
student participation. 

Dr. Benfield has held his 
present position since 1963; 
previous posts include pastorates 
at the First Presbyterian Church 
in Shreveport, La., and Highland 
Presbyterian Church in Louisville, 
Ky., and professor and 
Vice-President at Louisville 
Presbyterian Theological 
Seminary. He is the co-author of 
two books: Understanding the 
Books of the Old Testament and 
The Church Faces the Isms. 
Among his most noteworthy 
achievements are past 
chairmanship of the General 
Council, General Assembly, 
Presbyterian Church, U.S., and 
present chairman of the Plan of 
Union Commission of the 
Consultation on Church Union. 
He has been a participant in 
numerous City Preaching 



ivussions ana several religious 
emphasis weeks on college and 
university campuses. 

During Religious Emphasis 
Week, chapel will be held at 
11:15 Monday through Friday, 
in Monday's chapel will be

Johnson's God's Trombones.' The 
informal discussions will be held 
in the Hub from 9:00 - 10:00 
Tuesday and Thursday nights. 
They will be student-led and will 
center around the relevance of 
Christianity to the individual of 
today. The question of "Love 
God and Do As You Please" will 
be explored. 

The students are invited to eat 
lunch with Dr. Benfield 
throughout the week. The day 
students are invited to a special 
coffee schedule for 4:00 
Wednesday. The freshmen and 
any other interested students are 
urged to attend a Fireside in 
Walters Recreation Room 
Tuesday afternoon at 5:20. A 
communion service will be held 
on Thrusday at 5 :00. 




Scottie 
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 
up. 

Debbie Kennedy '70: I think it 
should be up to the teacher as to 
whether eating or drinking should 
be allowed in the class. It should 
be allowed in exams except for 
the fact of the noise involved. 
Students should have the right to 
tell another that she is disturbing 
her.

Next year the tuition for Scott 
students will be raised $100 per

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. 
By comparison Scott's total cost 
is actually below these other 
colleges. Emory has had to raise

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, 
"Student-faculty relationships often

The most gratifying product of the

comments from the responding students

situation would be to increase the 
rsity of the faculty and student 
body/ This professor recommends two 
student-faculty committees to study 1.

Another student: "There seems to be 
a wall up in most classrooms, fear of 
teacher by students and fear of students 
by teacher-Why???" 

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." 

Attitudes actually are pretty good

students have for faculty and even 
vice-versa. Students and faculty acutally

that being chosen to do the study 

become more stressed than the value of 
the work. They also felt that more

Independent was noted as "excellent 
preparation for a thesis or dissertition 
research." However, "value from the 
study should have the emphasis; not the 
presitge of being inivited by the Dean's 
Office to do the work." That's what 
some of the faculty said. 

"The idea of independent study 
for all classes is worth 
considering." 

Students produced two prevalent 
observations: that independent should 
be open to anyone willing to do the 
work, and that independent study 
should not be required in order to 
graduate with high honors.

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.

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?

PROFILE 



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.

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

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

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.

BY CHRISTINE PENCE 

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!

Dating Game 



Basketball season's here! And 
ASC almost had to cancel some 
games for lack of players. 
However, as proved by Social 
Council's tour de force, the 
Dating Game, there is one sport 
on campus which will never lack 
enthusiastic support. The ground 
rules are simple; the technique 
quite intricate; the scoring 
confusing; and the object singular 
- "Snake a Man." 

The teams are binarily divisible 
groups of opposite mating types. 
Uneven numbers automatically 
jinx any proposed competition. 
Teams are chosen by each 
dormitory's self-proclaimed, or 
fraternity-elected, matchmaker as 
early as Monday evening and no 
later than Friday noon. 

To qualify for the team one 
must be "cute" but ot 
outstandingly so. True beauty 
presents a threat to the whole 
division, and inner quality is the 
kiss of death. 

When teammates finally meet 
on either Friday or Saturday, 
each must be adequately dressed 
and appropriately optimistic. 
Said optimism is aroused by

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.

deadline of February 24, so their 
suggestions can be considered by

the campus competition for the 
Southern Literary Festival. No 
previously p lished material 
(except from campus papers or 
magazines) can be considered. 
There is no limit on the number 
of entries from any individual. 
There are five categories in which 
manuscripts may be submitted: 
poetry, fiction (short story or 
section of a novel), one-act play, 
formal essay (which may be 
critical), and informal essay (such 
as a sketch of a person or place, 
or an autobiographical narrative. 

Maximum length for any one 
manuscript is 5,000 words. A 
poetry manuscript may contain 
up to six poems. The deadline is 
February 16. Leave manuscripts 
in the contest box in 310 
Buttrick. 

The two winning manuscripts 
in each category will be sent to 
Festival officials, and the winners 
from member colleges and 



universities will be announced at 
the time of the Festival, to be 
held April 30-May 2 on the 
University of South Carolina 
campus. Speakers at the Festival 
will be the poet James Dickey, 
novelist John Barth, critic John 
Simon, composer Ned Rorem, 
and painter Robert Motherwell.

Russian in the seventies 

The Russians are coming! We 
think. Rumors circulating the 
language departments are hinting 
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 
course will be offered the 
following year.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The old faithfuls will audition

may not know it yet but you are

To audition you do NOT need 
to have had any experience, and 
you do NOT need to be a

help you if you would read over

to read for. All the fairies and

Please come, and remember, if 
Blackfriars cannot give "A

the play.

ship Foundation selects 10000 prospective first year graduate students each

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.

the pay scale - are the Instructors and

placing them in the top 60%. 
"Compensation repeateldy referred to 



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, 
Julie Stafford

Spy 

BY CHRISTINE PENCE 



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...

decided to have asparagus 
wrapped in ham for 





What would SPWE be 
without Pittpat's ?

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.

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.

DIANNE GERSTLE - 1972 

"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 
"I think it lies in a basic 
apathy--l think this must be a 
national trend."

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.

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."

"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

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?

Mary would just worry, "Are his

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 



lone Murphy 



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. 
A motivating force in history, 
woman probably prompted man 



is constantly aware that this is 
going to be a decision, boys play 
with trunks and telescopes; girls 
play with dolls, stoves, and in 
general have farr less pressure to 
deal with. 

Her greatest problem with the 
vocational office has been with 
communication, although she 
hastened to add that she enjoys 
her work. "There is only so much 
a bulletin board lends itself to."

to invent the bed, fire, 
Band-Aids, refrigerators, 
obstetrics, salt, and dinner 
parties. When left to his own 
devices man only came up with 
catapults, airplanes, and the 
hydrogen bomb. 

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 

CONT. on PAGE 3 



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.

dislike darkness, take a tip from

their manner of dressing.

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 
slim. 



Mr. P.J. Rogers, Jr. buiness manager 
of Agnes Scott College since 1951, died 
at his home in Decatur on Saturday 
night, March 14, 1970. He had been 
associated with Agnes Scott since 1946. 

Born in Covington, Georgia, in 1921, 
Mr. Rogers completed high school there 
and later attended North Georgia 
College in Dahlonega. Prior to joining 
the Agnes Scott staff, he was connected 
with he Retail Credit Company and 
with Georgia Tech. 

Mr. Rogers was a member of the First 
United Methodist Church of Decatur. 
He was a charter member of the 
Registered Public Accountants 
Association of Georgia, the Georgia 
Purchasing Agents Association, the 
National Education Buyers Association, 
and the Southeastern Association of 
College and University Business 
Officers. He was also a member of 
Pythagoras Lodge No. 41, The York 
Rite Temple, and the Yaarab Shrine 
Temple. He was likewise a Scottish Rite 
Mason. Mr. Rogers was a deputy sheriff 
of DeKalb County and a member of the 
Georgia Peace Officers Association. 




Survivors included his wife, the 
former Virginia Wallace; two daughters, 
Mrs. J.M. McKinely and Miss Judy L. 
Rogers; three sons, William of 
Arlington, Va., Jay and James; three 
grandchildren; parents, Mr. and Mrs. P.J. 
Rogers, Sr; two sisters, Mrs. O.W. 
Wilkins and Mrs. M.B. Sams, Jr. 

funeral services were in the First 
United Methodist Church of Decatur at 
4:30 p.m. on Monday, March 16, 1970. 
A memorial is being established in Mr. 
Rogers' honor by the college. 



Another Candidate Speaks

by NORMA SHAHEEN 

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 
Vietnam. Mrs. Jenness feels that 
the war in Vietnam is the central

that the $3000 qualifying fee for

candidates could be waived upon 
the signing of a poverty oath. 

Present qualifications to get on 
the ballot in the governor's race 
effectively prohibit most third or 
small party candidates by 
requiring 88,000 names on a 
petition and a high qualifying fee. 
Mrs. Jenness is in the process of 
challenging these two provisions 
in the federal courts and is 
confident that her name will be

as National Organization of 
Women (NOW) and the Women's 
Liberation Front (WFL). Mrs. 
Jenness predicts that the 
women's liberation issue will 
grow into a "mass movement 
parallel to the anti-war movement 
as a result of the general 
radicalization from the Vietnam 
War." 

The pollution question is the

campaign. She feels that the

avoids this issue is dishonest," 
Mrs. Jenness asserts. 

The second plank of the 
Socialist Worker's platform is the 
question of black control of the 
black community. To reach 
equality, Mrs. Jenness feels it is 
essential that the institutions

corporations which continue to 
pollute. She cited Lockheed, 
General Motors, Ford Motor 
Company, and the City of 
Atlanta as the main polluters of 
the State of Georgia. 

Mrs. Jenness was unable to get 
her name on the Atlanta mayor's 
ballot because she did not meet 
the residency requirements. She 
conducted a write-in campaign 
for mayor and a campaign in the 
courts to make it easier to

such as the war in Vietnam and

The tax program advocated by 
the Socialist Worker's Party is 
rather unique. As Mrs. Jenness 
explains it, there would be no 
income tax on those individuals 
who make less than $10,000 a 
year. However, there would be a 
100% tax on any income over 
$25,000 a year. Citizens would, 
therefore be unable to make over 
$25,000.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 

level higher than that of a control buy most of their food in stores.

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? 



student opinion column would be 
an opportunity for students to 
express themselves openly and to 
be heard by faculty, 
administrators and other 
students. Instead of the usual 



CA 



In Igloolik, an Eskimo who 
depends on the sea and the land 
for his food has only 2.34 
decayed, missing or filled teeth, 
while his counterpart who 
patronizes the local stores has 
6.47 bad teeth. 

New York (WMNS) - Shrews 
are in short supply compared to 
Terrible Tempered Mr. Bangs. Or 
so an investigation of anger at 
Columbia University seems to 
indicate. 

The study revealed that the 
average man loses his temper 
about twice as frequently as the 
average woman - about six 
tantrums a week for him as 
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. 

A farm in Rhodesia, South 
Africa, boasts three zorses, a 
cross between a zebra mother and 
a horse father. The zebra mares 
rejected donkeys in favor of an 
Arabian stallion who became the 
father of all three zorses, Owner 
Jim Beattie expects the young 
zorses to be six to nine inches 
taller than their mothers.

The Profile can definitely be 
more effective as a social force on 
the campus. The areas I would 
emphasize would be in the realm 
of academics especially 
academic freedom.

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.

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.

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?

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."

Some props include a fog

Club Director, wrote three pieces 
of electronic music that the girls 
will interpret. They are 
"Heartbest," "Three

The program begins with 
avant-garde studies that the 
Dance Improvisations class 
explored. Some movements 
include the dissection of the

Amy Cooper, a sophomore

that dance is a way of sharina and

Costa-G ravas, a 
expatriate, wrote and 
"Z". The movie, originally in 
French (don't worry, it has 
English sub-titles) deals with 
several contemporary themes: 
pacifism, government power and 
control, political unrest, press 
interference and bias, and 
homosexuality. Costa-Gravas 
presents a good protrayal of 
political intregue in a military 
state and how it affects all.

Yves Montand plays the Doctor 
who is the leader of the pacifist 
movement, Irene Papas plays his 
wife, and Jean-Louis Trintignant 
is the strong, dedicated 
prosecutor for he assassination

The plot revolves around the 
assassination of the leader of the 
pacifict movement and the 
attempts of the military regime 
to cover it up as an accident. The 
leader, protrayed by Yves 
Montand, is killed at a pacifist 
meeting by anti-pacifists. As the 
crowd gathers the police observe 
calmly and essentially stand by 
and watch as the "accident" 
takes place. Two press 
photographers further incite the 
crowd by snapping pictures. One 
reporter is really out for the 
sensational story. Press 
interference is an important 
theme.

that the hired killers are 
homosexuals. The movie is

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.

by JOAN BELL 

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.

With these aims in mind, the 
Committee added several branch 
offices across the nation which 
will sponsor the moratorium in 
their respective areas. More than 
thirty cities planned a Tax Payer 
Rally and over 200 colleges 
endorsed the Peace Fast Program. 
The moratorium has also been 
endorsed by such people as 
Mayor John Lindsay, Julian 
Bond, Senator Harold Hughes, 
Ramsey Clark, Senator Eugene 
McCarthy and others. 

The Atlanta Regional Office, 
which was just organized within 
the past few months, has been 
making plans similar to those of 
other cities. The Atlanta 
Mobilization Committee to end 
the War in Vietnam has planned a 
march down Peachtree to the

the purpose of the march is to 
protest our involvement in S.E.

strongly urged that everyone who 
is against the war in Vietnam and 
against the high cost of all our

moratorium and in any future 
activities of this nature. 

This committee is constantly 
making plans and organfzing

It is of tremendous importance 
that we, as a student body, 
become informed of these and 
other activities taking place in 
Atlanta and across the nation 
before it is too late to participate 
in them. Once we have been 
informed, we may take a stand 
and proceed to act accordingly. 
This stand may be against the war

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.

Four years of economics and I found that all the good jobs in my

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

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. 




'DPN't DISTURB BWeR (oWie WeS PRAV/N&!' 



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

longer the Haight-Ashbury era.

providing an excellent balance to 
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 
countries. This piece is not an 
attempt at Spanish music, but it 
clearly transmits the Spanish 
feelings within its three scenes:

The Fragrances of the Night;

Mortar 
Board 

Tuesday, April 21, the Agnes 
Scott chapter of Mortar Board 
announced the acceptance of 13 
new members. The juniors 
elected were Cynthia Ann 
Ashworth, Mary Lucille Benton, 
Mary Carolyn Cox, Sara Dale 
Derrick, Betheda Stuart Fries, 
Ann Appleby Jarrett, Elizabeth 
Martin Jennings, Elizabeth 
Lewis, Sharon Sue Roberts, 
Marsha June Springs, and Grace 
Granville Sydnor. 

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

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.

given below. Airmail letters

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 



by Ginny Simmons 

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. 



"Midsummer" Comes 



On May 14, 15, and 16, The 
Agnes Scott Blackfriars are

Night's Dream" by William 
Shakespeare in the Dana Fine 
Arts Building. 

There are two firsts in this 
show. This is the first time a 
student has done the complete 
design for a major production.

for the sets as part of her

by Ellen Willingham 

"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. 
The study is currently being

"There is a striking and clear

By discipline, faculty members

Nearly half the faculty

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.

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.

Catherine 
Marshall 

Catherine Marshall will speak in 
Agnes Scott's Presser Hall 
Thursday, May 14, at 1 1 :30 a.m., 
and the public is invited. This is a 
change in date from Wednesday, 
May 13, as previously announced. 
The topic of her talk is "Why a 
College Education?" 

The author of nonfiction 
best-sellers A Man Called Peter, 
To Live Again, and Beyond 
Ourselves, Catherine Marshall has 
most recently published her first 
novel, Christy. Following her 
graduation from Agnes Scott, the 
former Catherine Wood was 
married to Dr. Marshall, then 
pastor of the Westminster 
Presbyterian Church in Atlanta. 
Dr. Marshall went to Washington 
to become chaplain of the U.S. 
Senate. 

The Women's National Press 
Club named Catherine Marshall 
Woman of the Year in the field of 
literature in 1953. A Man Called 
Peter, the biography of her 
husband, was adapted for screen 
production in 1955, and was 
partially filmed on location at 
Agnes Scott. 



Catherine Marshall is now 
married to Leonard LeSourd, 
executive editor of "Guideposts" 
magazine. A trustee of Agnes 
Scott, her visit will include the 
semi-annual meeting of the 
Board, as well as her public 
appearance on Thursday 
morning. 



Films in Dana 



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 
109 at 4:00 both Monday and 
Tuesday. 



Music Club- 
comic opera 

Under the direction of Betty E. 
Salicco, the Agnes Scott Music 
Club will present Gian Carlo 
Menotti's comic opera, "The Old 
Maid and the Thief." The 
tentative dates are May 21 and 
22. 

Playing the part of Miss Todd 
will be Sally Martin. Dona Drake 
will portray the part of Laetitia 
while Sybil Peet will sing the part 
of Miss Pinkerton. James 
Robinson, a student at Georgia 
State, will round out the cast as 
Bob. Jerry Kay Foote will be the 
accompanist. 

This opera production is 
sponsored by the Music Club. 
There are no definite plans yet, 
but it is possible that admission 
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.

Are you planning to limit the 
number of children you will have 
because of the population 
explosion? 

Betsy Anderson '73: "I think 
that in the past, large families 
have been f ine--they're a lot of 
fun. I'm the oldest of five 
myself. But looking toward 
the future with the growing 
awareness of population 
problems, and knowing that 
I'd want to provide things for 
them which would involve 
financial support, I think that 
two at the most three would 
be all that I'd want as a 
family. 

Lyn Deen '73: "I'm limiting the 
number of children I want not 
because of population 
explosion, but because of 
personal preference. I won't 
have any more than four 
because I can't handle any 
more than four. 

Jean Lee '73: "Yes, because I 
think you have to. I would 
like to have a lot of kids, but I 
think it will hurt everybody, 
so no more than three." 

Betsy Watt '73: "Well, I 
wanted to have five, but 
considering the dangers of the 
population explosion, I'll 
probably cut it down to four. 
Seriously, I would like to have 
these kids, but you have to 
consider the world. 



MAY 8, 1970 

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 
Play Doctor," "Too Bad She's 
Bad," "Pleasure Plantation," 
"Sappho Darling," and "K.O. 
Suzette." 

But, above all, be sure not to 
miss the little extras thrown in to 
describe the plots. "She's Better 
Than a Marriage" is accompanied 
by the following:" NOW YOU 
ENTER THE WHISPER WORLD 
OF WOMEN AND SEE A 
WOMAN'S PRIVATE 
LIFE!. ..Wild, Free and 
Hungry. ..She's nice to have." 

Or how about "Pleasure 
Plantation"---" You Be the 
Judge! -Was she the playmate of 
a mad man? Come walk through 
the garden and pluck something 
of your choice! The tragic story 
of an illicit love!" "Without a 
Stitch" is described as "...a 
Danish film which Bars no 
Holds! - Some of the most 
explicit scenes allowed to be 
shown publ icly--lntroducing 
Anne Grete (pronounced 
'Great!'). 



Hang on, there's more. "Teenie 
Tulip" is designated as "a garden 
of sensuality." And then there's 
"The Minx" "Have You Seen 
It? exactly what you think she 
is 'The Minx is a prettily 
photographed dirty 
picture'---'The Minx makes 
'curious Yellow' look pale!" And 
don't miss "Meet Brown's 
Women"---"Too Bad She's 
Bad What Have We Got to 
Lose? Out For Kicks!-Woman 
Will Know Why..." And to top it 
all off, there's "Decameron 
'69" "a feast for the senses! -If 
you don't have the money you 
don't get the honey!"

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.

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.

Most of the arrested were

More than 200 windows were

MAY 22. 1970 

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 
Betheda Fries, Box 168.

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

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.

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?..." 



as an 
alienated 
generation ... 




and 



A girl commented that 
although she is not an alarmist at 
all, she firmly believes that we're 
on the brink of revolution. She 
sees an uprising as an inevitable 
result of "the alienation of an 
entire generation." 



in 

explosive 
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. 

It's so comfortable in here, 
And besides, I'm tired of that long walk in the dark, 
And I don't want the warmth from your broken fire

What are they like? The people 
of the Fourteenth Street Youth 
culture wear panchos, sandals, 
old jeans, tie-dyed shirts, and 
sometimes they go bare-footed. 
It's usually the same with guys 
and girls. 

There is always music 
everywhere and people moving in 
time with it. They listen to 
Richard Harris, Ringo, Three Dog 
Night, McCartney, Simon and 
Garfunkel, Peter, Paul, and Mary, 
anything they feel. 

There are often creative and 
constructive. They make beads, 
leather pouches, which they 
carry, long dresses with wild 
prints, and leather vests, which 
they sell. 

The art work is some of the 
most - interesting and unusual 
anywhere. Much of it is original 
also. 

These people dance when they 
want to and where they want to. 
They dance what they feel. They 
move each part of the body in 
expressive rhythms. 

They are creative in many 
ways. The list is endless. So is 
change. So are we.

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.

neither do we. "The people down

the people here don't seem to 
watch T.V. or read the 
newspapers, they don't seem to 
care. They seem detached, 
uninvolved, apathetic or 
something. There is a big change 
coming. And as for drugs, 
cocaine, the hard stuff, is dying 
out. But the other drugs will be 
around for a while. 



Fighting 




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. 



living 

the new.... 



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.

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 



A Winner

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.

Students and faculty members 
interested in forming a chamber 
group next year, please contact 
Sandra Garber (ext 309/310) or 
Janifer Meldrum (ext 304/305). 
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. 

Write today for information about careers in 
Special Education, and about the kinds of financial 
assistance for those who qualify.

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.
